I stood in horror as I watched my childhood hero withering away into practically nothing. All Might had just fought the battle of his life as all of us in the city watched the TV monitor in shock, confusion, and amazement. The city looked like a warzone because the impact of their blows blew back all the buildings and shattered all the glass. Not to mention I had just helped rescue my boyfriend Katsuki after being kidnapped by the League of Villains. He reached over and put his arm around my shoulders while reassuring me that he would protect me no matter what may come of this dire situation.

Deku started bursting into tears as he witnessed his idol get punked by the villain onscreen.

"ALL MIGHT!! YOU CAN DO IT!!" he wailed, as his tears started showering all of us.

"Is it raining?" Eijiro asked.

Deku shouted, "HE CAN DO IT!! HE CAN STILL SMILE!! HE CAN BEAT HIM!!"

All Might shakily lifted up his arm and pointed a bony finger at his audience—as if that finger was boring into our souls. "It's. . .your turn."

Suddenly, all went black. Not just the TV monitor—the entire city had a blackout. The only way I even knew I was still alive, was the feeling of being in Katsuki's arms and the sound of people around me screaming.

Shouto lit a torch with his hand to give us some light so we could see. The ambient light from Shouto's flame reflected off of the engorged eyes of thousands of Nomu who were suddenly surrounding us.

The last I saw of Deku, his Full Cowling fluorescent trail shot across the sky like a comet as he pursued a Nomu into the darkness. Deku's fight or flight response caused the other Nomu to violently start attacking us as if he had just shot an arrow into a hornet's nest. Suddenly, a Nomu lunged toward me, so Katsuki shielded us with a powerful explosion that knocked a dozen back.

It was then that we realized there was no hero to save us now. The bystanders were quick to notice this, which made them take matters into their own hands. Quirks of all different kinds began strobe-lighting the street with vivid colors; thus, attacks against the Nomu started going off like firecrackers.

Caution was not an option in this situation. Instead of gawking at the action around me, a rush of adrenaline pulsed through my veins and drove me to fight alongside my friends. I took a glimpse to the right and detected that several Nomu were sneaking up behind Katsuki, preparing to ambush him. So, I darted up and projected a wave of crystals in their direction, which threw them back from the impact.

He caught sight of what I did and mouthed, "Thanks." As he winked at me, before turning his eyes back to the fight. For the rest of the battle, Katsuki and I stood back to back, fending off any remaining Nomu with our Quirks.

All Might had failed us. We only had each other now. It was becoming impossible for all of us to stick together. We drifted away like a boat without oars on a stormy, windy night. No matter who I got separated from, Katsuki and I made sure that we were always within arm's reach of each other. My determination to not lose sight of him was equally matched by his fierce, protective side. Even in the face of possible death, I knew somehow that we would be okay, because Katsuki would always be my hero—even if All Might failed—Katsuki would never fail me.

We battled till daylight, slaughtering every Nomu that came into our path. When the Nomu were finally eliminated, Katsuki and I collapsed in the gutter—still back to back—out of pure exhaustion, most likely presumed dead by bystanders.
