Midoriya and Ida wrapped their arms around Kirishima and both braced themselves on the wall. With Ida's speed and Midoriya's quirk, they'd be able to go far. Kirishima hardened his arms in front of them. A shield. They launched, crashing through the wall.
As soon as they were free, Todoroki created a huge ramp of ice, as high as he could make it. The three ran up it. They moved so fast and with so much power that the second half of the ice crumbled as they jumped off. They were practically flying.
Momo and I watched from the hole the other had made. Todoroki stood just outside. Momo and I weren't very useful in this plan. That was fine. We'd both been helpful already tonight. The real question was: was this going to work?
The masked villain saw them. Everyone saw them. Bakguo saw them. The masked villain turned his attacks on the three flying through the air but All Might was there, getting in his way now.
Kirishima held out his hand. It was difficult to see. he was so high up there. But even from where we stood, we could all hear him.
"C'MON!!"
Bakugo's hands exploded. He shot him self up into the air, blasting after Kirishima and the others. Kirishima caught him. They had him!
"Good," Todoroki said. "All eyes are on them. This is our chance."
Momo looked at me and nodded. "Let's go."
We escaped back down the alleyway and onto the street. It was best to get as far away from here as possible. Todoroki, Momo, and I hurried back through the warehouse district and made it back to the busy downtown of Kamino Ward.
There was a lot of traffic. People were trying to get away from the destruction. First responders couldn't get through very well. It was a mess.
"Do you think they got away safely?" Momo asked as we walked through the crowds.
"I'll check." Todoroki pulled out his phone and called Midoriya. "Midoriya, are you four safe?"
"Yeah." I could barely hear him. "Did anyone see you?"
"I don't think so," Todoroki answered. "We're on the street now, blending in with the crowd. Some pros are here, helping people evacuate."
"Good. We're stopped in front of the station. Luckily, we missed that last shockwave. Our rescue totally worked!"
"A rescue!" We could hear bakugo better than Midoriya, who had the phone. "That's not what happened back there. You idiots just happened to be my best escape route."
Well, someone hadn't changed.
"Look," Momo whispered.
I glanced up at the big screen on one of the side of the buildings. It was the news. It was All Might fighting the masked villain. All Might looked terrible. There was so much destruction all around him and he looked so beat up.
The villain's mask was partially gone now. He still had the part over his mouth and nose, but his eyes were revealed. Or, what was supposed to be his eyes. There was just nothing there.
That red lightning appeared again. The villain was powering up. All Might could dodge this. Right?
Wait. There was someone behind him. There was a woman in the wreckage. She was still alive. The villain let loose a powerful gust of air, just like the one that had knocked down dozens of buildings. All Might took the force of it, blocking the woman.
When the dust cleared. All Might was... small. He looked sickly. He looked like a skeleton. That was our mightiest hero?
I felt like I should be satisfied. I should be smug. The pros were being proven liars. All Might had a secret and it was out now. The world saw him for what the pros really were.
But I wasn't. I was scared. If the greatest hero couldn't stop this villain... who could?
"He's frozen," someone said behind me.
"Is All Might going to win?"
"He looks so weak."
I'm sorry, I think up at All Might standing still on the screen. As if I could have stopped this. As if I had caused this. It's hard to not feel like this is my fault. I've rooted for his downfall for so long. Just be strong a little bit longer. Please.
As if All Might could hear me, he stood a little straighter, meeting the villain's gaze. His arm swelled up, back to its usual size. All Might was going to fight.
The villain rose up in the air again. The red lightning flashed. He was winding up for another gust. Before it could build up enough power though, the villain was engulfed in flames and had to use that air to push them away. Endeavor had arrived. Edgeshot was right behind him.
"STAND UP AND SHOW THEM WHY YOU'RE BETTER!!"
Even the camera crews in the helicopters above the fight could pick that up clearly. Everyone was rooting for All Might. We all needed him to win.
Kamui Woods was there now. He picked Best Genus and the now-small Mount Lady up from the wreckage and got them away from the fight. Tiger pulled the civilian out of the rubble. The masked villain started powering up, aiming at Endeavor. Edgeshot distracted him.
"C'mon, All Might," someone in the crowd shouted. The rest took it up.
"Fight him!"
"Win!"
You can do it, All Might! Don't give up!"
The villain shot his wind. All the pros were knocked away. The crowd fell silent. The villain grew his arm. It was bigger than any arm had any right to be. It was ugly. There were things sticking out of it and wrapping it up and holding it together. It didn't make sense. But it looked powerful.
He and All Might fought. All Might only had one arm that had any power. He switched it a few times though. All Might took the full force of one of the villain's punches with that natural arm. He held his ground.
Then All Might reared back, growing his arm. He punched. The power was unbelievable. The wind knocked all the pro heroes even farther away. The press helicopters in the air were blown about.
When the wind finally settled down and the dust cleared, everyone was completely silent. They were holding their breaths. What had happened? Had All Might won? Was that the battle?
All Might stood over the villain. The man's mask was completely gone. He was unconscious.
All Might was still small, still hunched over. He was bleeding and bruised and covered in scrapes. His costume was way to big for him.
Slowly, so slowly, All Might lifted his left hand into the air. For a moment, it was big again. Victory.
