The Next Hero in Line (My Hero Academia Fan Fiction)

Chapter 13 (Finale)

Midoriya couldn't even register the fact that he had moved yet. In less than a blink of an eye All For One had emerged from his pile of ruins and impaled Midoriya through the chest with one of his rods. He twisted it through his body and proceeded to rip it out. 

Midoriya yelled in pain as blood began to spill out of his body again as he was blasted away by a high powered kick from All For One. Smashing through rubble and other debris until he crashed into a wall where his body was stationed. Blood splattered into the air and across the ground as One For All hovered over to the fallen hero. 

"So pathetic. However, I must congratulate you on almost defeating me as now you have become the closest one to killing me. I now see why All Might choose you. The amount of power you posses was far beyond what he could have ever achieved. I don't think anyone in this entire world will ever witness the grand power of One For All the same way you did. Which is why I have decided to no longer strip you of that quirk, but instead I am just going to have to kill you. That way, no one can keep surpassing the power of Gods. A quirk that strong should not be allowed to live in my new world. Which is why now, this is the end Izuku Midoriya."

All For One drew back his arm as he was ready to strike. Midoriya clenched his right fist with the little strength he had left. The sharp pain of broken bones and ruptured arteries blasted through his body but he was beyond the point where pain would even make a noticeable difference.

"Like Hell, you will!" He shouted.

Midoriya released an Air Burst onto All For One. His reactions were fast and quickly was able to dodge the oncoming attack.

Midoriya's arm dropped as he lost all feeling within his body. All For One gritted his teeth as he launched a barrage of punches onto Midoriya. Except, they weren't quirk activated. They were nothing but normal consecutive punches to the head. Each hit launched an echo throughout the devasted landscape and crowds that Midoriya had evacuated from safety heard nothing but the sound of the helpless hero being pummeled to death over and over again. Thousands shivered and cried in fear and pain as the hero that was supposed to save them all from their inevitable death, was the one who was losing.

"Damn it, I have to get down there now!" Bakugou attempted to stand up but his body shortly collapsed back to the ground with a thud. 

"Don't move." Todoroki whispered. His own body was on the brink of failing him and any movements of his own would easily bring him death.

"Who's going to save Deku then?" Bakugou questioned with anger.

Todoroki lightly shook his head to the side and then closed his eyes.

Bakugou looked down onto the battlegrounds. Hundreds of thousands of corpses lay amongst the streets and not a single structure still stood tall as they were all reduced to mountains of debris. Smoke still filled the air but fire was not noticeable anywhere. And the sound of punches could still be heard from a far.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each punch splattered more and more Of Midoriya's blood. All For One broke several teeth and even ripped out his left eye. All For One hit him over and over again until he met satisfaction with himself. All For One let out a sigh of relief as he drew out another of his rods. 

"One more through the head to finish this!" He yelled as his spear whistled through the wind.

All For One was suddenly blasted back by a sheer force of power pushing him back about 200 feet. His vison was blurry as he was caught off guard and as he looked up he could feel his stomach knot. He felt fear for one of the last times.
