Deathslinger Deku

Death & Estate Taxes

Allmight, no, Toshinori Yagi stood next to his detective friend as they oversaw the clearing away of rubble from the battle. It was pure chaos, as an entire city neighborhood was completely decimated. Ruins as far as the eye could see. The fact that Izuku had fought him for so long was a testament to the boy... As he was thinking, his thoughts were interrupted by a construction worker. "Sir, We found something!"
Quick to react, the blond man asked, "Show me!"

The man led Yagi, followed by Tsuchauchi, to the rubble of a building... and they had found one of the people they were looking for. A brutalized corpse in a suit. Only his head was mostly untouched... but they had no facial features except for a toothy grin. It was unmistakable who that actually was.

Naomosa held his breath. This was the best outcome for everyone. The infernal boogeyman, dead, and his league decimated. "All For One... he's actually dead..."
Yagi, however, was far more concerned with another detail as they excavated the body out. Especially since there were several very unusual results at the end of the fight. "But where is Young Midoriya? His spear is here... but the chain... it was cut halfway... how could he get out of there? Unless... AFO shows signs of being blown up... did he accidentally kill himself in his attempt to destroy the villain?"

"I don't know..." Naomosa sighs, mourning the loss of a promising hero, and ultimately, a good person. While he didn't know the boy long, his testimony and actions in rehab were enough for him to accept the greenette as an unfortunate victim of circumstance. "I just am glad that, if he did die, he didn't die in vain."

Katsuki Bakugo waited next to an unconscious Ochako. He knew that he was going to have to break the terrible news. There was nobody else, and he witnessed the fight, even if it was through a screen. As she opened her chocolate colored eyes, Bakugo sat a little straighter. His voice was devoid of enthusiasm. "Hey."
Her voice was soft, but still worn as she looked around with unfocused eyes. "Bakugo...? Where are we?"
His voice, on the other hand, was gruff. "The hospital."
Memories of the previous night flooded back, as she struggled to sit up. "Oh... wait, where's Izu?"

He didn't answer, so she turned to him, but his face told her everything she needed to know. A single tear ran down his face, and he was barely holding it back. Ochako could feel the tears start to well up on her own face as well. Even when he promised... the villain turned out to be right. "No..."
Katsuki couldn't bear to look at her. "I'm sorry. I should have stopped him..." He then stopped. With good reason, because she wouldn't be here if he did stop him. Or at least, not as quickly.

However, she didn't think that at all. "It's not your fault... If I didn't get captured..."

A new voice interrupted their guilt ridden sorrow. Older, wiser, yet powerful. "None of you should be blaming yourselves. He... he knew what he was doing." A blond man stood framed in the door, his gaunt form expressing sorrow and regret.

"Who are you?" Ochako asked. She didn't know this person, maybe he was staff at UA? But that didn't make sense either.

"Right, you haven't seen me like this before..."

Bakugo looked at the skeletal man. He had the same eyes, same hair... and Izuku told him he was weakening... so he shot out a guess. "You're Allmight, right?"

Ochako's eyes widened as Yagi continued. "I am. My civilian name is Toshinori Yagi." After taking a pained breath, the number one hero continued, "Despite my warnings, he saw that I couldn't do anything against that monster, so he took it upon himself to end him. He was more the hero than I ever was... It's my fault for not stopping that bastard the first time."
