"Where are we?" Dabi asked as he looked around the dirty apartment, yanking a sheet off a beaten-up couch.

"A safe house prepared by Sensei," Kurogiri answered, pulling out his washcloth and starting to wipe down the dusty table.

"Kurogiri," Tomura hissed, "Take me to Sensei."

"No."

The word hung in the air for what felt like an eternity as the pale-haired man stared wide-eyed at the mist Villain, his mouth flapping open and closed as he seemed at a loss for words.

"No? NO?!" Tomura screeched, "What the fuck do you mean "no"? Take me to Sensei now!"

"No," Kurogiri repeated, "Sensei gave me strict orders that if anything were to happen, that I would bring and keep you here."

"FUCK THAT!" Tomura screamed, leaping towards the man, a portal opening in front of him and dropping him painfully to the floor, "TAKE ME TO SENSEI NOW, OR I'LL KILL YOU!"

"No," Kurogiri repeated, finishing cleaning the table, and moving onto one of the chairs, apparently unperturbed by the man's screaming.

"Jesus," Dabi grunted as he watched Tomura flail on the ground like a spoilt toddler, "Is he always like this?"

"Sometimes," Kurogiri answered, "Don't worry. He'll tire himself out soon enough."

"Whatever," Dabi sighed, "I'm going back to sleep."

"My, how much you've damaged my property," the voice said as the figure emerged from the wreckage of the building, the heroes freezing under the weight of the words, feeling like a chain was wrapped around their throats, "I may just have to punish you all for this."

"YOU!" All Might howled, stomping his foot into the ground as he stepped forwards, "WHERE IS YOUNG MIDORIYA?!"

"Young Midoriya?" the unknown figure chuckled, the sound reverberating strangely as he stepped out of the shadows, All Might freezing as another figure walked out behind him, "Why, he is right here."

"YOUNG MIDORIYA! QUICKLY! RUN!"

"Oh, I don't think he will, All Might," the man spat the name, "After all, he has learned the actual truth of your power. Now, watch carefully young man."

There was an almighty crash, the Heroes barely having time to blink before the massive force slammed into them. All Might swung his fist, smashing it into the blast of air, the force splitting around him as it ripped through buildings and the street alike. The destruction settled, revealing the blond standing on a small cliff of dirt and tarmac, his face twisted in rage as he stared down the featureless mask. Behind him, the other Heroes stood stunned, looking at the massive destruction around them in awe. Even Endeavor seemed taken aback.

"My, still quite strong, aren't you?" the man laughed, "Still haven't found your successor, I suppose?"

"SILENCE VILLAIN!" All Might yelled as he shot forwards, swinging both his arms as he slammed into the man.

All for One caught the punches, a shockwave blasting out from the pair as they wrestled for dominance. All for One twisted his body slightly, suddenly hurling All Might to the side, the Hero smashing through a building, the already weakened structure starting to collapse down on top of him.

"How disappointing," All for One hummed, lifting a hand as a blast of flame shot towards him, sending out his own blast of air to scatter the fire, "And how annoying. Did nobody ever teach you it's rude to interrupt someone else's conversations?"

"Silence Villain!" Endeavor shouted, preparing another blast, "I'll defeat you here and now!"

"Well, that won't do," All for One replied, lifting his hand and pointing the palm at the ground, "Nomu, wake up."
