Beyond The Blast (Bkdk)

Unmasking The Enemy

Chapter 29: Echoes of the Past (Enhanced)
The chamber thrummed with an oppressive energy. Midoriya, fueled by a desperate need to protect his mother, pushed himself beyond his limits. A surge of raw green energy erupted from his body, momentarily blinding All For One and pushing back the crimson glow that emanated from the facility's walls.
This wasn't the weak, red-tinged energy All For One had anticipated. This was the true power of One for All, burning bright with newfound resolve.

But before Midoriya could launch an attack, a wave of dizziness washed over him. Images flooded his mind, a torrent of memories both familiar and strange. He saw the determined face of a young man with vibrant green hair, the first user of One for All. He saw glimpses of the struggles of his predecessors, each one passing down the torch of heroism.
And then, he saw her.

A woman with flowing white hair, her crimson eyes reflecting a lifetime of pain and defiance. A face eerily similar to his mother's. A gasp escaped Midoriya's lips. The woman, Shimura, wasn't just some pawn of All For One. Memories coalesced, revealing a horrifying truth. The woman he had called Shimura was his ancestor, a past wielder of One for All who had been captured and experimented on by a villain with a single, glowing crimson eye.
His stomach lurched.

All For One, the villain who had plagued him for so long, was also the villain who had tormented his ancestor generations ago. And the woman he had called Shimura... she wasn't a villain. She was a victim, a hero forced to endure unimaginable suffering.A surge of anger, hotter than anything he had ever felt, coursed through Midoriya. All For One wasn't just his enemy; he was the enemy of his entire bloodline, the embodiment of a darkness that had plagued generations.
But amidst the anger, a sliver of hope flickered.

His ancestors, despite their struggles, had never given up. They had passed down One for All, a beacon of hope in the fight against darkness. Suddenly, a wave of strength surged through Midoriya, fueled by the memories and the unwavering resolve of his predecessors. He looked at All For One, his gaze burning with an intensity that rivaled the villain's own.

"You took everything from them," Midoriya roared, his voice echoing in the chamber. "But you won't take anything else! One for All... it's not just a quirk... it's a legacy... and I won't let you defile it any longer!" All For One, his confident smirk replaced by a flicker of surprise, raised an eyebrow. "Interesting," he mused. "So, the memories have awakened. But will they be enough, young Midoriya?"

With a battle cry that echoed through the chamber, Midoriya launched himself at All For One. He fought not just for himself, but for his mother, for his ancestors, and for the future they all fought to protect.
The battle raged. Midoriya, fueled by the collective strength of One for All, unleashed a barrage of powerful attacks that echoed the fighting styles of his predecessors. All For One, surprised by Midoriya's newfound power and fighting techniques, fought back with a ferocity born of generations-old hatred.

Bakugo, his eyes blazing with determination, joined the fray, his explosions momentarily disrupting All For One's defenses. Even All Might, despite his weakened state, roared a challenge, offering Midoriya a much-needed distraction.The chamber trembled with the force of their blows. The red glow emanating from the walls began to flicker, overwhelmed by the green energy pulsing from Midoriya's body.

But All For One was a formidable opponent. He possessed a vast arsenal of quirks at his disposal, and his experience far outweighed Midoriya's. Just as Midoriya began to feel his strength falter, a figure appeared beside him. Shimura, her eyes filled with a newfound resolve and a flicker of recognition in their depths, stood defiantly. "This facility..." she gasped, her voice weak but filled with determination. "It's... linked to a bloodline control system... passed down through... my family!"

A gasp escaped Midoriya's lips. The facility, the machine that had drained his life force, all of it was built around controlling the power of One for All through his ancestor's bloodline.
Shimura, with a surge of newfound strength, reached out and touched a hidden panel on the wall. A holographic map of the facility flickered to life, revealing a complex network of energy channels connected to the machine.
