The Beginning of the End

Shigaraki's eye opened, staring out between those grotesquely dead fingers. A wave of energy, crackling yellow and purple, burst forth from his body. Your mind shield was faster than the attack, but fear struck you as you watched Mirio be knocked off of Gigantomachia. You stood in front of Shigaraki and a kneeling Spinner.

Shigaraki was no longer himself. A new face twisted on the man in front of you. A face with no eyes, All for One. Although you were standing ahead of him, you felt frozen. He paid you little mind.

"Crucially, I have used my radio-wave quirk to call upon the Nomus at this pivotal time in battle. Tomura is only at the beginning stages of his transformation, so he's unable to frequently use this quirk. Fortunately, I can."

Spinner regarded you with narrowed eyes, but as you couldn't breathe, let alone make your body move, he spoke up to the man before you. "What are we going to do now, Shigaraki?"

"We're retreating," All for One replied in Shigaraki's body.

No. You had to do something. You couldn't let him leave. Shigaraki's body modifications had not been completed; all of his quirks were not at full power yet. This was the best chance that any of you had to stop him. You had to do it now.

"We can't leave!" Spinner pleaded. "Our comrades are hurt. Toga's on her way. We can't abandon our team!"

"Be silent, Iguchi. Shigaraki's body has need of rest. He awoke before he was fully developed. I came to lend the poor boy the help he requires. His regeneration ability has not reached its full potential. Tomura has lost this fight to Endeavor and One for All. He is currently no match for the heroes here today. It's time to go. Tomura has failed." All for One tilted Shigaraki's head to the side, taking a look at you. Shigaraki's body crackled, as if it were healing the severe wounds stretching across his toned body. "Tomura must understand there are consequences to his failures." You could have sworn he was smiling at you. "Isn't that right, Anna Kokoro? For every evil decision and action, there should be a rightful consequence? Is that not what you believe as a hero fighting for what you call justice?"

You wanted to move, to speak. You almost thought All for One had used some kind of paralyzing quirk on you because your own body wouldn't respond to you.

All for One lifted Shigaraki's hand, stretching it past you. "A permeation quirk." His fingers sprouted that red and black dark energy that had pierced through Bakugo's chest, but it went around you. "I have no time for you." Out of the corner of your eye you watched Mirio fall, stabbed from behind by that terrifying quirk.

Shoto and Iida came for Shigaraki next, but just as easily as he'd taken out Mirio, All for One repelled them with a yellow shield. You quaked where you stood. All of this training, and you were too scared to fight? No, you couldn't let it end like this. It wouldn't end like this.

"You have a very important decision to make, child," All for One said to you.

You flinched, the first movement you could manage in his presence. Your small hand clenched into a fist. Spinner's eyes moved down to it, surprise and worry crossing his features. Behind you, a stampede of Nomus headed in your direction. Their footfalls alone caused Gigantomachia to shake.

"Will you interfere with my withdrawal from this fight and suffer the consequences of your foolish actions, or will you choose to live and be what you call a hero for another day?" he asked.
