MHA: Zeros and Heroes

Issue 12: Final Battle

Izuku felt different, like his body was filled to the absolute fullest of energy, ready to burst at any moment if he didn't release it. Luckily, there was a perfect chance to do so right in front of him. "Well well well. You've done it haven't you? They let you use their powers as well as the full power of One fo-"

*POW*

All for One was cut off by Izuku closing the gap between the 2 in a split second, punching the older man in the gut hard enough to cause said man to hunch over, getting on Izuku's eye level. The green haired boy didn't waste a second and delivered another punch straight to All for One's head. A.F.O. got sent flying back, managing to stop himself using a shadow claw. He looked over to Izuku, who readied himself for another strike. A.F.O. quickly raised his arms, creating shadowy tendrils that swirled around the villain. "I see, so you wanna test out your new power already? Well then, let's see if you truly are a worthy successor." Izuku launched forwards, cracking the ground as he flew at blurring speeds towards A.F.O. A.F.O. swung his shadows, only for Izuku to effortlessly dodge in-between them, using Black Whip to swing off of one. He kicked the villain in the face, knocking him back. He didn't give the man a chance to breath as he quickly kicked him into the air, using Float to jump after him. Using Fa Jin he amplified his punches and kicks and began to wail on the man, every second he punched and kicked faster, before using Black Whip to spin the man back towards the ground. A.F.O. hit the ground hard enough to create a crater, leaving the man slightly injured but not down. Getting up A.F.O. searches for Izuku in the air, only to see a large cloud of smoke beginning to surround him. "These tricks won't work on me boy. I've already seen them all." All for One said as he clapped his hands together, creating a gust of wind strong enough to dissipate the smoke instantly, only to see that Izuku was nowhere-

*CRACK*

A.F.O.'s mask cracked slightly as Izuku hit him from behind, launching him out of the crater. This time he used his shadows to grab onto the ground and return to it, not wanting a repeat of what happened earlier. But then he looks up to see bodies of water floating above him, clearly being placed there earlier went the smoke was still there. He thought it was clever as Izuku threw the water straight at him. Using another quirk he had stolen A.F.O. waves his arm around and sends small projectiles through the water, causing Izuku to dodge. This caused his focus to be off of the water, and just like A.F.O. remembered happening, the water fell harmlessly to the ground. He had to admit it was impressive, the boy unlocks all of these quirks and he's already using them pretty well. Though he knows this can't go on forever. Either A.F.O. gets sloppy, or Izuku gets overwhelmed by the power he holds. So using more of his power, All for One charges into a clearing and begins to power up. Izuku, now landing, sees this and also begins to power up, knowing that his opponent plans on charging at him. Raising a leg up, Izuku slams it down to give himself a good grip of the ground as the electricity begins to glow various colors. All for One on the other hand only glows a single purple/black color, but it's gigantic. Izuku winds up his fist, and All for One charges.

(All for One.... And-)"-ONE FOR ALL!" Izuku swings, as does All for One, the clash destroying the ground around them. The impact is enough to knock everyone else off of their feet as they watch on in fear and hope. The glass above them shatters from the wind, rocks nearby crumble from the quakes, and anyone nearby the stadium could probably feel the power radiating off the place. Izuku and All for One remained locked in the middle, neither of them willing to give any ground. Suddenly, flashes of memories not his own began to play in Izuku's head. He sees all of the other user's encounters with All for One, and their final moments. All for One sees Izuku's form flash from each user, as if he was fighting them as well. Suddenly, he heard a voice.
