A Bittersweet Ending

You knew what you had to do to stop this, stop All for One. You knew what All for One wanted more than anything else. He wanted to win. He wanted power. You lifted your hand when All for One's words left Shigaraki's mouth.

"You've chosen death. I'm afraid I've overestimated you. It will be a shame to lose such a powerful quirk with your demise—"

"The shame is you didn't realize how powerful it was sooner," you bit back. You didn't know where that courage came from, maybe it was the idea that this would be protecting your friends, that your sacrifice was bigger than you.

Shigaraki's fingers twitched, cutting All for One off may not have been the wisest thing to do. You felt the wave of rage hit you, watched Shigaraki lift his hand in your direction.

"Insolent child." Dark crimson and black energy shot out from Shigaraki's fingers, coming at you from all directions.

Your mind shield was already up, protecting you from all angles. All for One's quirk cracked against the surface. You shot out another shield, stopping the oncoming Nomus. Your quirk buzzed in approval. You weren't sure what ancient or primitive power was at work here, but it understood your objective: Give All for One your quirk. Let your quirk thrive in a new host, rather than be destroyed in this one.

Cracks. You could practically hear your skull breaking from the strain. That was the intention. Use your quirk to its limit. Get it to the point that not even All for One could keep it under wraps, especially not in an incomplete host body. All for One spoke of consequences, but he would understand them after you were done.

Blood dripped from your nose. Wind whipped through your hair. The grasp on your quirk was the strongest it had ever been. You were giving it full power to fight.

A bloody nose is like a broken bone. The words echoed in your mind, and you held firm. You would break every bone in your body if it meant your classmates would live.

"I'm stronger than you, more powerful than you," you said, hoping your words did not come out shakily. "If you have any hope of escaping, you will have to deal with me first. I can read every thought you have, anticipate every outcome. I can keep you here as long as it takes. I'll keep you here until every hero in Japan is outside this forcefield if I have to."

Breaking, your mind was breaking. You felt each strand of your quirk twist and crack under the weight of the attack from every Nomu, felt the sharp points of All for One's quirk scrape against your shield.

"You've trapped yourself in here with me? Unwise indeed. You dare waste my time further?" All for One questioned. "What game are you playing at? Surely you don't believe you could win."

You forced a smile. "I know I can." Break. You needed to break every facet of your quirk, let it lose control in every sense of the word. Give it to him broken; let him see the power he could have and then give it over. You let every thought in Japan flood your mind, kept your forcefields up at full strength.

Shigaraki's struggle came into view. He was fighting, fighting for possession of his body again. All for One was using him for this body. You pulled out of his mind as to not get grabbed as you had been before.

The energy continued to scrape at your shields as soon as one spike broke through, you used your mind to shove it back out.

"My patience is wearing thin, child," All for One snarled.
