"We're going to need more tourniquets!!" Majestic landed beside Bakugo, hollering across the field to Manwel, who carried the fainted Aizawa on his back.

Deku's eyes opened slowly. He realized he was on the ground again. His hearing and vision were all foggy, on the verge of passing out completely. Ahead of him, the greenette's eyes landed on Bakugo. All the...blood. A-all Might.. further away.. He was hurt too! As was Gran Torino! E-everybody!! The amount of people he needed to save had never dropped. If anything, it had grown!

He was useless on the ground like this! He needed to save people!

"GHHAH!" Deku gripped the ground. Heaving, he shoved himself up with scratched, bleeding arms.

He needed to focus. Shigaraki wouldn't be a problem for a while, so who then--?

Izuku stared up with a scowl. The sun's glare hid the villain's form rather well, but the teen knew he was up there! All For One. Everything would end when he reached All For One!

No time for thought, or for planning, or even a breather! Deku activated One For All in his broken legs, forcing himself to stand. He wrapped Black Whip around his legs just to sturdy himself. Painstakingly, the teen crouched and stood again and again to build momentum, using Fa Jin, disabled joints grinding against one another in the process. But using that boost plus OFA at 100%.. Deku zipped into the air at untraceable speeds! Danger Sense blared in his head, stinging his nerves, as he flew at the villain like a speeding bullet.

A dark portal opened up before him. Next thing Izuku knew, he was only ten feet away from the ground, headed straight for it at deadly speeds! The only thing he could think to save his life was to twist and kick the ground again. He did so with both feet, which managed to brace his fall just a little. The teen plummeted into the ground, the earth, even the distant trees shaking from the impact! Deku's entire vision flashed white, then black..and then white again. "Midoriya!" Nana Shimura's voice rang in the back of his head. Deku gasped, continuing to do so repeatedly. His entire body below the waist fell completely numb! That helped keep his mind off of the overwhelming pain, but he began to panic! Did he just lose all feeling in his legs?! Was his spine broken?! Would he ever be able to run, jump, and fight again?! Izuku felt a very faint touch on his shoulder from the Vestige of Nana trying to comfort him. Izuku finally opened his eyes. It was blurry, but, he saw gray..and blue...and maybe a bit of red. Deku bit his lip, tears springing to his eyes.
