Endeavor charged toward Shigaraki, ready to fight. He unleashed his Ultimate Move: Hell's Curtain, trapping Shigaraki in a scorching inferno to which there was seemingly no escape from.

"That's a whole blanket of Flashfire!" Endeavor shouted. "You can't run away!"

However, Shigaraki managed to get out and tried to touch Endeavor with his hand, but Endeavor bent backwards quick enough to dodge it.

Endeavor became surprised because the fire of his Ultimate Move should have been hot enough for someone without a heat tolerance to be unable to move, and then he realized that Shigaraki was regenerating his injuries at an incredible speed.

Just as Shigaraki dodged another attack from Endeavor, the Hero radioed in an order. "Attention all!! Endeavor, here!! I've engaged Shigaraki at the hospital ruins!! Anyone who can move without touching the ground needs to form a perimeter!" Endeavor successfully grabbed Shigaraki's arm but he unleashed a blast of air that blew him far away.

Shigaraki then realized he had inherited all the Quirks All For One collected. "The Quirks that Master had stocked up... It feels like I've been reborn with it all," Shigaraki relished in his newfound abilities. "This power..."

He remembered what Garaki told him before he underwent the surgery as he salvaged a couple of Quirk-Destroying bullets and pocketed them. He then pulled out his remaining face hand as Endeavor charged back at him.

Shigaraki, however, then realized he felt something was missing. "So then why... don't I feel satisfied?"

"I need," Shigaraki realized, "to get One For All."

"One... For... All?" Endeavor responded back in confusion at the name.

"Say what?!" Burnin asked as she overheard her boss on the radio. "One For... What?! Whatever, help's coming your way!"

Yaze, overhearing the transmission, recognized the grave danger that Shigaraki's search for One For All posed to Midoriya.

Yaze's eyes widened as the realization hit him. "Midoriya!" he muttered, his heart pounding. He quickly radioed in, "Burnin, Endeavor, Shigaraki is talking about Midoriya! We need to protect him at all costs."

Burnin acknowledged the message, "Copy that, Sentinel. We're on our way."

Yaze turned to the remaining Heroes, his face grim. "We need to move. Shigaraki is going after Midoriya, and we can't let him get his hands on him."

Ryukyu, in her dragon form, hovered nearby with several Heroes riding on her back. She nodded firmly. "We'll cover you. Get to Midoriya."

Yaze, realizing he was one of the few who could move without touching the ground, looked at Crust, who was injured but still conscious. "Hang on, Crust. I'm getting you to safety."

With a powerful flap of his wings, Yaze flew to Ryukyu and carefully placed Crust on her back. "Stay with the others. I need to go protect my students.

Crust nodded, wincing from his injuries but understanding the urgency. "Go, Sentinel. Save the kids."

Yaze took off again, his wings carrying him swiftly through the decaying ruins of the city.

Shigaraki jumped off the ground and proceeded to make his way to Midoriya's position. The ground trembled with his approach, his Decay Quirk leaving a trail of destruction.

As the other Heroes started worrying about Shigaraki's imminent arrival, Midoriya looked around, unsure of what to do next. The fear in his eyes was clear, but so was his resolve. Bakugo, understanding the gravity of the situation, followed closely behind him.
