Can't Escape my past (MHA x Whitty Male Reader)

Chapter 56

-28 hours after Bakugo and Y/N were captured-

We see Corruption standing in front of AfO, as he keeps looking back and forth between him, and the ground, thinking about something.

AfO: *noticing Corruption* What's the matter?

Corruption: Nothing...

AfO: What is it. Tell me, Corruption.

Corruption: I... The last time we met, you were... Well, in a better shape overall, but... You didn't wear that mask back then. What... What happened?

AfO: Ah, this.

He takes the mask off, revealing the heavily scarred face, with a seemingly permanent grin.

Corruption: *shocked* Who did this to you?! I'll bring you their head!

AfO: Corruption.

Corruption shuts up.

AfO: There is no need to get worked up about this. It's just something that happened when I fought All Might six years ago.

Corruption: All Might? This brat was able to hold his own against that American mascot just fine in the exams! I can enhance the brat's skills even further! Master!

He bows down in front of AfO.

Corruption: I mean no disrespect, but there's no way that weak man could have done THIS to you.

AfO: You would be right, but a battle takes a toll on both sides. The All Might I had gone up against was much stronger than the person he's become now. Although, I'm not as strong as I used to be either. I can still vividly remember him charging at me with his intestines sprawled on the floor.

Corruption: *looking down* All Might... Did that to you... Master...

He looks up at AfO.

Corruption: I can take revenge for what he's done to you! I'll make sure of it! Give me one chance, and I will KILL All Might for you!

AfO looks at Corruption, an unreadable expression etched into the man's face.

AfO: Kill All Might, you say?

His voice was calm, and yet, it had this... Amused tone in it.

AfO: What makes you think you'll be able to kill him, Corruption? That you are capable of killing a man- no, a symbol of peace and strength?

Corruption: Master, I've seen All Might's weakness. Everything the brat saw, I saw. I knew someone had injured him, but I did not know that it was you. That man is nothing but a shadow of his former self if he was able to bring you to such a state. As I said, this brat-

He puts his hand on his chest, talking about Y/N, as he starts to get on his feet.

Corruption: Was able to stand up against All Might and hold his own. All I need is one chance. One chance, and I will bring you his head.

AfO chuckles softly and darkly, as he gets up, and Corruption instantly bows down once again.

AfO: Rise, Corruption.

Corruption stands up.

AfO: It is not a matter of strength, Corruption. You are powerful, yes, but when one is up against All Might, they're not fighting flesh and bones. They're facing the weight of his legacy, his unyielding will to protect others. To be their hero. Tomura was unable to understand that, and what happened? The boy you're possessing first beat the Nomu, then All Might as well, and Tomura ended up getting outplayed.

Corruption clenches his fists.

Corruption: I understand the risks, master. But you and I, we both know that All Might's time is coming to an end. His embers will soon burn out, and someone needs to snuff it out. Why can't that be me?
