*Play the song while you read to maximize your reading experience! Also the beginning part of this song REALLY reminds me of All Might.*

I stood behind a pile of ruble powerless towards the situation that played out before me. All Might was battered and beaten. The affects of his muscle form slowly failing him. Soon the whole world would see what All Might had truly been reduced to.

I clenched my fists. Momo, Todoroki, Tenya, Kirishima, and I had gone on a dangerous venture to save Bakugo from the league of villains. The little outing turned into a war when the heroes showed up to save Bakugou as well.

If I or any of us were to blow our cover it could mean expulsion from UA, so we stayed hidden in the shadows.

Bakugo had been saved by All Might from the villain who called himself All for One. All for One was the monster who had put a hole in All Might's stomach years ago. He has the power to take quirks from people making everyone's quirks his own. All for One is the mastermind behind the league of villains.

Bits of debris flew past me. A cloud of dirt and smoke covered the two of them. All Might readied a punch and hit All for One in the stomach. All for One didn't falter. The two traded powerful quirks, and I could tell that this was wearing All Might down. I had hope in All Might. Of course I did, but I knew that his limit was near.

The two of their fists collided and All Might's muscle form started to change. Blood spurted from his mouth, and he fell to the ground.

I clutched my chest and closed my eyes. I knew All Might could do it, but he needed help.

The true form of All Might stood before the world. Everyone had now seen the All Might I came to know.

Shocked gasps escaped from my classmates next to me.

"We have to help him!" I whisper-yelled to Tenya who was stood next to me.

"We can't! We can't get UA in more trouble!" Tenya said back, returning my call.

"Maybe the other heroes will help him," Momo said as she bit her nails.

"I can't believe that's All Might!" Kirishima said clutching his red hair.

Shoto shrugged. I sighed and turned back to the battle.

All Might stood from his spot, it was obvious he had no intention of giving up.

"YOU CAN DO THIS ALL MIGHT!" the supportive shouts of other heroes echoed through the night.

He can do this Izuku. He is All Might. I thought to myself.

All Might readied one last punch with every ounce of his remaining power, and All for One did the same. The two began towards a path of collision. They collided, and I covered my face. Their impact caused buildings to fall and a huge crater formed in the Earth.

The smoke cleared and my eyes widened in horror at the scene before me. Hot tears filled my eyes. My breathing quickened. I couldn't believe what I saw.

All Might laid limp on the ground meters away from All for One who was still standing from the punch. All Might's body was twisted and blood leaked out of his mouth.

I began running from the hiding spot. I ignored every plea from my classmates. I had to see All Might. He couldn't be dead, he's All Might!

I slid down the small incline of the crater, and leaned over All Might. I reached down and cradled his head in my arms.

"Hey, All Might! All Might!" I mumbled through thick tears.

"Iz.. Izuku?" All Might managed through pained breathes.

The punch had caused the hole in All Might's stomach to grow in size. His body was twisted from the impact.

"Why didn't they help you why didn't I!? I'm sorry All Might. PLeaSe DOn't LeavE me!" I choked out.

"Izuku please.. Please calm down," He said weakly as he attempted to reach a hand towards my cheek. "This was bound to happen.. Please.. Please Izuku.. Be a... A he--"

His hand fell towards the ground and the light faded from his blue eyes.

"ALL MIGHT! ALL MIGHT WAKE UP PLEASE I NEED yOU I CAN'T DO THIS ALONE! I SHOULD'VE HELPED YOU PLEASE ALL MIGHT dON'T LEAVE!" Sobs shook my whole body and I held All Might's limp body in my arms. "I NEED YOU ALL MIGHT PLEASE!"

"What a sad sight," All for One said jokingly from across the crater.

I turned to his scarred face and glared. All for One was getting handcuffed and taken away by the authorities. Professional heroes surrounded the crater. They looked down with sad eyes at the scene.

They all could've done something, but even now they stood and watched. All Might was the number one hero, but now he's not even alive.

I screamed.

A blood-curdling scream. A scream that could be heard towns away. I screamed until my voice cracked. Until I no longer could. I felt weak. I felt defeated.

Yayorozu put a steady hand on my back. She, Tenya, and Todoroki pulled me away from All Might.

Bakugo stood behind them and looked at me. Not with his usual look, but a look of pity. Kirishima was stood next to him obviously not knowing how to feel.

None of them knew. None of them knew of how much All Might meant to me. They all probably thought I was overreacting.

I freed myself from their grasps and turned away. If Iida had let us fight All Might could still be alive.

"Midoriya," Iida said as he reached for my shoulder. I swatted his hand away.

I walked from them. I didn't want to talk to them. I didn't want to explain myself. I didn't want to talk to anyone.
