{Izuku Midoriya p.o.v}

"Um Kacchan, I'm sorry for kicking you in the balls." Immediately he repays the favor and I hold my area.
I knew it. But this is the second damn time to be hit there.
"Thank you...Kacchan...for understanding."
"Out of my way, Deku."
"Hey Midoriya," Kirishima puts a hand on my shoulder, "sorry about that. He's back to his normal self anyway."
"I think he would've...kicked me either way."
"Hm, I guess that's true. But are you okay? You didn't get hurt from his explosion when I pushed him did you?"
"I'm good...thanks for doing that."
"Maybe you should have Todoroki get some ice to put down there."
"WHAT!?"
He laughs, "I'm kidding. Come on, let's go."
"Yeah..."




"All Might," Rozu has her hand on the roof while focusing.
Oh yeah, I forgot she can detect people around us.
"The police are nearby. But there's one more villain, two buildings away."
That's so cool, I have to write about her in my notebook.
"Who?"
"I'm not sure, but based on his body temperature, I would say he's incredibly pissed off."
Pissed off? Why?
Kacchan walks up to us, "It's Akuma. He and Tenshi have been secretly engaged. If he's pissed then he must of seen her death.
"Uraraka," she comes over to Rozu.
"Yes ma'am?"
"I want you to make me weightless, then guide me over to a safe area of that building over there. I have to inspect what he's doing."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. No time to hesitate." Uraraka nods and makes her weightless, guiding her over to the building she pointed to. When Rozu gets there, Uraraka releases her and I can see her sneaking around.
Be careful, Rozu.
I turn back to All Might and he's still fighting Shigaraki, I'm surprised he's lasted this long.
When I run to kick him, I get interrupted AGAIN but this time by Kacchan's explosion.
"MOVE IT, DEKU!" He was aiming at Shigaraki obviously but Shigaraki moved before All Might and I knew what was happening. The impact of the explosion pushes us and All Might turns to his weak form at last.
"Don't you know how to be careful with your explosions, Bakugo?"
"Shut up, icy hot! He was in my way again like an idiot!"
They're seriously arguing right now?
Looking over at All Might, he's hanging on the edge of the roof with one hand. I run to him and slide on the concrete of the roof and grab his hand once he slips from being so weak.
"I'll pull you up! Don't worry!" A portal shows up directly under him that's dark red.
Is it Akuma's quirk? What happened to Rozu?
"Just...wait a little longer for the police and they'll pull you up!"
"Midoriya."
"Yeah?"
"I'm so proud of what you've become. You've been an idiot from time to time but most of the time you impressed me and made me glad that I chose you to have One For All."
Where is this coming from? Why is he suddenly talking like that?
"I know and I'm sorry for being reckless sometimes, All Might. I won't do it anymore I swear." I start sweating from holding onto him, I've never held onto a person like this before so it's pretty hard to keep ahold.
"Thank you for being the next successor. And giving everything you have to everything you do."
"W-Wait...you're talking like you're...DON'T YOU DARE!"
"Young Midoriya, my time was up when I started getting weak to begin with. Our time comes for us all and this is how a hero dies for their country."
"NO! YOU'RE NOT GONNA DIE! I WON'T LET YOU!"
"When you become a hero, say 'I Am Here' in a proud way. Be the best pro hero you can be and save people everyday. I want to know you'll grow into an amazing hero and pass it on someday to someone who deserves it as well."
"ALL MIGHT STOP TALKING LIKE THAT!" My sleeve starts tearing from the rips it got because of Kacchan's explosions burning it, "I'LL GET YOU UP!"
"There's no time for that. Just let me go."
"NO! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND! AND YOU'RE LIKE A DAD TO ME! YOU WERE THERE FOR ME MY WHOLE LIFE WHEN NO ONE ELSE WAS! I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS SO EASILY!"
"I know you won't." He rips the rest of my sleeve and falls out of my grip.
"ALL MIIIIIGHT!!!!!" I jump after him but something catches me. I look up and see Tsu's tongue is wrapped around me, "LET ME GO, TSU!"
"Ribbit, no, Midoriya!"
I look back down to All Might and it's like everything is slow motion. All of my memories of us training and him helping me run through my brain. My childhood of being his biggest fan. Watching that one video of him saving people, everyday. Him giving me his quirk after saying I'm actually worthy. It all runs through my mind, until he puts his hand up in a fist for a symbol of Plus Ultra, before being sucked into the portal and it disappearing.
He's...gone....forever.
Tsu pulls me up and lets go of me when I reach the roof again. Shigaraki is laughing hysterically, like this is the best comedy show he's ever seen.
"He's gone! All Might is dead! I've been waiting years for this! I'll finally be able to take over the country without anyone getting in my way!"
I slowly turn to him. Tears streaming down my face but my face is pure pissed off.
"You....you did this. YOU DID ALL OF THIS!!!!"
Running at him the fastest I've ever ran in my life, I kick him in the throat to make him choke. He ignores it though and grabs my leg and swings me but I wrap both of my legs around his neck and I swing around when he tries to throw me off, also pushing his eyes into his skull. He finally grabs my shirt and tosses me off of him as his eyes are bleeding.
I land and run at him again, I spin in the air like I did against Kacchan and kick him right in the face so hard it leaves a shoe mark on his skin. He falls on the ground flat on his back and I stand over him full of rage. He goes to grab my arm with all of his fingers. I step on his hands and he yells in pain.
"I AM HERE! UNITED STATES OF SMAAAAAASH!!!!!"
His eyes widen when I punch him. With 100% of my power. So strong it makes him go right through the roof and down through the building. I breathe hard and fall to my knees. Uraraka kneels next to me, putting her hand on my shoulder and pulling me into a hug. I never noticed every student there watched me do that. I was too busy with rage to think of the others.
I cry in her chest and grip her shirt in anger. I notice though that my arm isn't broken, even though I used 100%. I must of kept complete control of my power this time instead of just using it for a regular thing.
The police finally show up and interrogate all of us. They don't hold us accountable for all of the killings we admitted of because we had no other choice to defeat them. If we had another way to stop them we obviously would have. But I don't regret killing Shigaraki. At all.




About two weeks later, All Might's death is all over the news, no surprise there. There was a funeral for him even though they didn't have his body for it. Everyone in Japan attended, literally. I was front row.
I'm in my dorm, watching the video of All Might saving people again, like I always do. When there's a knock on my dorm door.
"Yeah?"
"Midoriya, can I come in?" I can tell it's Todoroki's voice.
"Sure." He walks in and closes the door. He sits across from my bed on a chair at my desk.
"You've been in here for 2 weeks. Maybe it'll make you feel better to leave the room for a few hours."
I shake my head a little, "I'm okay."
"All Might wouldn't want you to lay around and grieve in pain. He'd want you to be stronger and be what he wanted you to be."
I know that much is true. But right now I can't help but be depressed.
"Todoroki. Why do you finally use your fire power after so long of not using it?"
"You convinced me at the tournament. You made me realize that I can make the quirk my own instead of just thinking it's only him taking over me." I nod, "I think All Might thought the same way about you."
I look up at him with tears in my eyes.
He's absolutely right. I told him that it's his quirk and to make it his own. But this whole time I didn't try to make it my own, I just tried to be exactly like All Might. Even though he told me before not to be like him, to be myself with it.
"Thanks, Todoroki."
"I'm not gonna make you change your mind about coming out of your room, but if you decide to then we'll be happy about it. We're all worried about you. Even Bakugo is."
Kacchan? Does he think it's his fault again?
"I'm gonna go check on him."
He nods and I leave to his dorm. I knock and peek in. He's listening to music on his bed, he looks up then back to his phone.
"What do you want, Deku."
"I just wanted to talk for a minute," I walk  in and shut the door behind me, "You think it's your fault don't you?"
"The hell are you blabbing about."
"All Might. You think it's your fault that something happened to him again." He takes his earphones out and sits up.
"You don't know anything, you stupid nerd."
"It's not your fault. He let go of my hand on his own."
"And I wonder how he got there. It was my explosion that caused him to end up on the edge! He wouldn't of if it weren't for me! He'd still be here if I didn't accidentally shoot wrong! IT'S MY FAULT! I NEVER EVEN GOT TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE WAY I ACTED BECAUSE THE COMPELLING SPELL MADE ME A JACKASS AND TALK SHIT!"
Kacchan...
"It's not-" he shoves me towards the door, "Kacchan wait, just talk to me!"
"Eat shit, Deku." He pushes me out into the hallway and slams the door. I stand up and walk back to my dorm.
How did I think that would go? Did I think he would actually agree to have a therapy talk with me and everything end up well? I know him better than that so why did I hope that he'd be willing to cooperate for once? I am a stupid Deku.

All Might....
