Izuku the Vanquisher

Chapter 16: Identity

It was 9:06 PM when a massive explosion was heard across the city of Yokohoma, startling the majority of it's citizens who were just leaving their workplacves. It didn't take long for the media to explode in speculation, as such event was simply new for it's inhabitants, given that the city was lauded as one of the most peaceful ones, with the less amount of crime ratio per year. The fact that a big police raid was being conducted in Kamino Ward couldn't be but just a coincidence.

Minutes after the first explosion, sounds of multiple gunshots, shouts and then more explosions were heard, and then chaos seemed to be spread all over the city, with buildings and avenues alike being toppled or destroyed at blinding speeds, many didn't have time to react as they were buried in rubbled or the streets in front of them being reduced shambles in the span of seconds as police cars, ambulances, fire department trucks and heroes rushed to what seemed to be the epicentre of the disaster. Such commotion stunned the local population, as they have never seen so much chaos ever since the last earthquake that happened 5 years ago.

Currently a news helicopter was flying towards the epicentre of the catastrophe, on it, a young male reporter sat on one of the passengers seats, deeply immersed in his own mind, still trying to process what he had just experienced hours ago.

He was one of the many reporters who were present at the UA conference due to the kidnapping of the infamous winner of the UA Festival. He was sent there to write an article about it, but the moment he arrived all he could see was others journalists trying to rile up Eraserhead, who was widely known for his dislike of the media, to said something that he may regret later.

Even if he was disgusted by their attitude, the least he wanted was for them to gang up on him later so he wisely shut up and stood behind, waiting for the inevitable fireworks to appear. But just as the teacher was at the verge of exploding, that child came. Setting aside the shock that he was UA combat teacher, and the one who defeated the criminal Muscular, never in his entire career has he ever met someone as terrifying as that child. His demeanour, his movements and his attitude were completely different for someone of his age.

But the most scary part came after, the moment he nonchalantly threatened all of them with that smile... it was almost as if he was in front of a predator, and he was the prey. And the words that followed were more than enough to made him realise that Slade, despite his age, was totally capable of carrying out the threat he said completely and without a single ounce of mercy.

He was cut out of his thoughts when a shock wave destabilized the chopper, throwing him out of his seat.

While he pilot cursed a plethora of colourful words as he fought to stabilize the chopper, the reporter managed to regain balance, and scrambled to the window. Trying to see though the thick clouds of smoke that were slowly dissipating, he squinted his eyes as he saw two figures on the grounds, but once he got a clear view of them he widened his eyes in shock.

"Who is that skeleton?"

"Where did he come from"

"Wait! That uniform! Don't tell me..."

"Damn it All Might! Your real form..."

"Sensei!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Things from All Might perspective were not good. He was currently on his knees, injured in front of his nemesis, that seemed to be virtually undamaged despite the blow he dealt on him earlier, he has long passed his time limit, his true form has been revealed to the whole country, possibly even the whole world and now, he received the knowledge that Shigaraki Tomura was in fact the grandson of Nana Shimura, his late master.
