Welcome to the Multiverse! (Part 2)

The Bloodthirsty Villain Unleashed

So, just as I thought I could finally leave this weird, villainous lair and go back to my bed of lies... guess what?

 All For One decides he's not done with me yet.

I can feel it in the air, the weight of his presence pressing down as Kurogiri and I make our way to the exit. Just when I think I've dodged the bullet, All For One speaks again.

All For One: Usagi. Before you leave, there's something we must address.

Oh, no. No, no, no. 

Whatever you're thinking, let's not. 

I just fought All Might, what more do you want?

I stop, turning slowly, trying to hide the growing anxiety knotting in my chest. His voice is calm, but there's an edge to it that makes me feel like a cornered animal. And believe me, I've felt that way plenty of times before.

All For One: You've made quite the impression with the League, but I need to be certain. Certain that you are still the Usagi we know.

Oh, I get it. It's a test. Of course, it's a test. Because being a villain means never having a peaceful moment, apparently.

Alright, here's where I'm supposed to go full 'bloodthirsty villain' mode, right? 

Play the part, Izuku. You've done worse... right?

I can feel my pulse quicken as I crack my knuckles, stepping forward. Inside, my heart's pounding like crazy. But outside? Outside, I'm Usagi, the feared, dangerous leader of the League of Villains.

Me: You really want to do this, All For One? I thought we were on the same side.

The look he gives me? It's like a challenge wrapped in a smile. I know what's coming. He wants to see if I still have that edge, that... brutality. Well, lucky for him, I'm good at pretending. Too good.

All For One: Prove it. Show me you still have that fire.

Me: Fire? Oh, I'll show you fire. I'll show you what happens when a 'bloodthirsty villain' doesn't get his way.

I take a deep breath, letting the persona slip over me like a second skin. The crazy part is, I've watched Shigaraki so much, I know exactly how he'd react. And if I'm supposed to be worse than Shigaraki? Well... I need to go off like a bomb.

Me: Fine. You want a fight? You got one.

I launch forward, faster than I've ever moved before, fists clenched as I strike out, fully aware of how insane this is. All For One is not just any opponent—he's the most dangerous villain in existence. And here I am, pretending to be a villain trying to prove myself to him.

I aim for his side, swinging hard, knowing he's not going to go down easily. But this isn't about winning—it's about surviving.

Me: I've faced worse than you!

My punch connects, but it's like hitting a brick wall. All For One doesn't even flinch. Instead, he tilts his head, his expression as unreadable as ever.

All For One: You have potential, but potential without conviction is useless.

Me: Conviction? Oh, I've got plenty of that. Too much, if you ask me.

I twist, pulling back and launching into another series of strikes, trying to keep my movements wild and unpredictable. I have to sell this. I have to make him believe that I'm as dangerous as they say I am. But honestly? I'm scared out of my mind.

Me: Come on, Izuku. Don't think. Just act. You're a villain. You're Usagi. Go crazy.

I go all in, throwing everything I have at him, every punch, every kick. My mind is racing, my heart pounding, but I can't let him see that. No hesitation. No fear. Only chaos.

All For One doesn't react much, but I can tell he's evaluating every move, every decision. He's testing my resolve, my willingness to play the part. And it's terrifying, knowing that one wrong move, one crack in my mask, could be the end of me.

All For One: Interesting.

What's interesting? 

The fact that I haven't died yet?

He raises a hand, and I know what's coming before it even happens. A shockwave of power erupts from him, sending me flying backward into the wall. The impact knocks the wind out of me, but I'm up again in seconds. I have to be. I can't stop. Not now.

Me: You think that's enough to take me down? You're gonna have to try harder than that!

I charge forward again, my body screaming in protest, but I ignore the pain. The whole time, my brain is on overdrive. I need to make him believe this. I need to sell the idea that I'm as ruthless as they come.

All For One: Your resilience is impressive, but where is the passion? Where is the fire?

Me: Fire? Oh, I'll give you fire!

I roar, my voice filled with as much fake rage as I can muster. Inside, though? My heart is hammering so fast I can barely think straight. This is insane. All of this is insane.

Me: Okay, Izuku, you can do this. Just hold on a little longer. Keep going.

I lash out again, trying to land a blow on his masked face, but he blocks it with ease. Every time I attack, he counters effortlessly, like he's playing a game and I'm just a piece on the board.

Me: If you wanted a villain, then you should've picked someone else. But guess what? I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere!

I swing harder, faster, pouring everything I have into the fight. My muscles burn, my lungs scream for air, but I can't stop. I can't afford to stop.

All For One: You fight well, Usagi. But this? This is not enough. Not yet.

And just like that, he steps back, his power receding like a tide. He's testing me, and I've passed... for now.

All For One: You still have much to learn.

I stand there, panting, my body shaking from the effort of holding it together.

Me: What was that? Just a warm-up? Because I've got more where that came from.

He waves me off, a small gesture that says more than words.

All For One: We'll see, Usagi. We'll see.

And with that, it's over. The tension in the room eases, but my heart is still racing. I've done it. I've managed to survive, to keep my cover intact. But the truth?

Me: I can't keep doing this. One of these days, I'm going to slip up, and then... well, let's not think about that.

Kurogiri steps forward, his gaze unreadable as always.

Kurogiri: Come, Usagi. We're done here.

As we turn to leave, I can still feel All For One's eyes on me, like a predator watching its prey. I've passed the test, but how long can I keep this up

Right. 

Now, let's get out of here before I do something stupid... too proof myself here.....like get caught being a hero.
