Beyond The Blast (Bkdk)

Mastermind Revealed

The screams had finally subsided. Midoriya lay unconscious on the cold metal floor of the chamber, his body drained of energy, the red glow fading from his skin. All Might, freed from the machine, rushed to his side, his face etched with a mixture of relief and horror. Inko and Bakugo, their faces pale with shock, watched as All Might cradled Midoriya's unconscious form.

The air hung heavy with a chilling silence, broken only by the ragged gasps escaping All Might's lips. Suddenly, a booming voice echoed through the chamber, a voice dripping with dark amusement. "Well done, Shimura." Everyone spun around to see a figure materialize from the shadows. A tall, imposing man with a scarred face and a single, glowing crimson eye - All For One. "You!" All Might roared, his voice strained with anger. "Why are you here?"
The woman, Shimura as All For One had addressed her, trembled under his gaze. Her eyes, once filled with a predatory glint, now flickered with fear and desperation.

"He... he forced me," she stammered, her voice cracking. "He said... he said if I didn't unlock the true potential of One for All... he would kill me... and Inko..."
Inko's blood ran cold. So this wasn't just about Midoriya's quirk. All For One, his sworn nemesis, was somehow connected to her as well. A horrifying truth began to dawn on her. All For One chuckled, a cruel sound that sent shivers down everyone's spines. "Indeed, Shimura. You see, she is not who you think she is.

She is a descendant of the very first user of One for All, and her blood holds the key to unlocking its true potential - a potential that could rival even mine."Midoriya's body stirred slightly. With a weak moan, he opened his eyes, the red tinge in them fainter but still present. He looked around, confusion clouding his features.
"What... what happened?" he rasped, his voice barely a whisper.

All Might explained everything he had witnessed, his voice heavy with regret. He revealed his suspicions that Shimura had been under All For One's control, forced to manipulate Midoriya and unlock the quirk's hidden power. As Midoriya absorbed the shocking truth, a wave of anger washed over him. All For One, the villain who had plagued him and All Might for so long, was the mastermind behind everything. But more importantly, he was after his mother as well.

Fury surged through Midoriya, pushing aside the exhaustion that gnawed at him. He wouldn't let All For One take his mother, not after everything he had sacrificed."Let her go," Midoriya growled, his voice laced with a newfound determination despite his weakened state. "She has nothing to do with this." All For One's single crimson eye gleamed with amusement. "Isn't that a touching display of filial devotion? But loyalty comes at a price, young Midoriya. And it seems you've already paid yours."

He gestured towards Midoriya's depleted form. "The sacrifice has awakened a fraction of One for All's true power. But it's nowhere near enough. Perhaps," he continued, his gaze shifting towards Inko, "with a little more... persuasion from her bloodline..." Before All For One could finish his sentence, a surge of green energy erupted from Midoriya's body. He had pushed himself beyond his limits, fueled by a desperate need to protect his mother.

The chamber filled with a blinding green light, momentarily pushing back the oppressive red glow emanating from the walls. All For One shielded his eyes with a hiss, a flicker of surprise crossing his face.
This wasn't the weak, red-tinged energy he had anticipated. This was the true power of One for All, burning bright with newfound resolve.

But was it enough to overcome the villain who had haunted generations of heroes?The battle lines were drawn. Midoriya, fueled by sacrifice and unwavering determination, stood against All For One, the ultimate villain, in a fight that would decide not only the fate of One for All, but the freedom of his mother and the future of the hero society they fought to protect.
