From souls to heroes

Losing Power

Finally, All Might was here! They were saved!

Ochaco watched from her spot at the front of the USJ building as the number one went head to head with the monstrous creature that almost killed Aizawa-Sensei.

Everything in her was saying to run to her teacher to check his condition.

What would she have been able to do once she got to him? She couldn't heal and her quirk wasn't exactly meant for fighting.

She shook her head, now was not the time, and ran to him anyways despite protests from her fellow classmates.

Oh boy, was he a mess. Serious lacerations, broken bones, and a spot on his elbow where the skin had been completely ripped off.

It looked bad.

Before she could even attempt to do anything, he started to stir.

"Uraraka?"

"Sensei! Don't move, you're really bad!" She tried her best to stay as calm as possible when speaking as she didn't want him to hurt himself anymore.

"Are the rest of the students ok?"

"Yes, everyone is fine. Ida-San managed to escape and warn the others. All Might is here now. He's dealing with the monster" Ochaco's gaze broke from her teacher over to the fight that All Might was having.

The monster seemed to be taking every shot that the pro hero threw at it, almost like it was absorbing each hit.

"A shock absorber quirk?" She mused out loud.

Little did she know that Aizawa was now staring at her from where he was lying.

The rest of the teachers arrived just as All Might defeated the big monster.

Ochaco would have cheered, but something was off.

"All Might...his spiritual pressure...it's..." she mumbled as she closed her eyes to focus.

It was weakening.

Looking at the pro hero, everything seemed alright, but there was smoke coming from him. It was almost like something was deflating.

Too bad her vision of him was suddenly obstructed by a large cement wall created by Cementoss.

Her heart sank as she felt the spiritual pressure weaken further.

It went from being on the level of Ichigo's to that of being on the level of Nel when she was in child form.

'So, the number one hero in all of Japan is growing weaker? That sounds like a problem to me'

Ochaco nodded at Shiro's words.

"A big problem to say the least"

Several days later, Ochaco watched All Might sneak down an alleyway, as if he didn't want to be noticed, and followed him. He was easy to keep track of thanks to not learning to hide his spiritual pressure.

She came around a corner and stopped dead in her tracks.

The pro hero deflated rapidly and started coughing up blood, both bad signs in her eyes, before transforming into a skeleton of a man.

Ochaco could barely hold back the gasp that was about to escape. Her heart sank again.

So this is what the number one pro hero was becoming.

The now walking skeleton seemed to curse his luck, mumbling something about his time limit being up.

A time limit?
