My Hero Academia: The Child of Infinity

Chapter 26: Demise -II-

Moments passed since Izuku unleashed the attack on the cursed spirit known as Eri, and Izuku was currently standing over the ground where she once stood. His breathing became erratic as a result of the fight, but he couldn't care less about it. Right now, he was riding a high that he never thought he would experience, and it wasn't going away anytime soon.

It didn't help that the area around him was way to quiet. With only the wind passing by him and the small amounts of breath he was letting out providing any sort of noise. Hovering above him however, the moon was cleared of any clouds, allowing it's light to brighten the area, and for Izuku to bask in it. At this moment, his mind was clear of any and all thoughts of worry. Only the desire to end this situation, and worry about the others later.

"All For One... where are you." He whispered to himself. "Come on out and face me."

He stood there for quite some time, basking in the moon light, while the sounds of footsteps soon approached him. The source of these footsteps was from Dabi and Rody, who somehow weren't in All For One's Domain radius while he was fighting Mahoraga.

"You think I would want to partner up with you after you nearly left me for dead to that damn creature?! I should turn you to ash where you stand!"

"Chill dude. I was only joking. I'm sure there was a way you could've gotten out of that situation. Besides... we have a bigger fish to fry." He said while pointing at Izuku.

The two stared at the young man, believing that the boy was too scared to even move. Thinking this, they began to approach, activating their respective abilities in order to try and attack him. But Rody was the first to notice that something was different. There was no fear in the boys body language. He stepped back slightly, with Dabi mocking him for his sudden change of action.

"Rody, what are you so afraid of. The kid is stiff as a board."

"I don't know man. This feels all too easy. Plus... something's strange about him."

"You're just being paranoid." Dabi tells him. "Come on, lets-"

By before Dabi could finish, he was suddenly pushed hard into a wall by what looked to be a red orb, causing him to go out cold, and scaring Rody.

"If you don't want to end up like your friend there, I suggest you stay put, and let yourself be arrested." Izuku said calmly, but in a cold tone.

"Oh, uh, of course sir!" He said aloud in panic. "Whatever you say man! I wasn't really with them like that anyway, so I'll comply."

Izuku didn't really care as to what the man said to him. He only cared about one thing. Killing All For One, and luckily for him, his foe would approach, not on the ground per-say, but above him, as he was currently standing on a rooftop far away from where Izuku was.

"I don't sense anything from Eri. Has she perhaps been destroyed?" He commented to himself.

He turned to the ground below, seeing Izuku, standing perfectly still. To be honest, he didn't expect Izuku to be awake. He was certain that the attack he dealt to him moments prior would've caused him to stay asleep until they had escaped, but... at this point, it didn't matter to him. He was intrigued by this development.

"Well now... this is interesting. Perhaps the weakling has more to him than I thought." He commented.

Unbeknownst to him, his presence was not really hidden well, as Izuku simply lifted his head towards where he was standing, and stared at him with a cold yet unprovoked glare.
