"You can't hide behind that thing forever, Endeavor!" Dabi yelled with glee as blue flames washed over the stupid lizard that had gotten in the way of so many plans. At least he'd gotten his video out thanks to Sceptic, so at least something went right.
Suddenly, Dabi's clothes contract as Best Jeanist arrives from the heavens. 'What?! I could've sworn Hawks brought me his body!' He thought, alarmed as the League and Gigantomakia were wrapped up tight by all the material he brought.
"Your ambitions will be your undoing, villain. Now watch as your plans come apart like bad denim." Jeanist declares as Katsumi smiles, seeing him alive. Dabi struggles in his bindings as he retorts, "Even if you stop us, the truth of the Todoroki family has been witnessed by the whole nation!"
As Dabi burns up his restrains and Tomura starts to wake up, everything starts to go to hell before a noise is heard that stops things cold. bum bump "I thought you said it wouldn't wake up!" Stain screamed at Avalanche as the ice dragon writhed in the thread's panic. "He shouldn't have woken up yet. Get Tomura up now!"
With a deep groan, Darkstalker rises as Tomura finally wakes up. "Gigantomakia, cause havoc, and kill that cheating bitch." He falls unconscious once again as Makia gains a massive boost, breaking free. Avalanche also snaps free and charges the still waking Darkstalker, as things come to a close.

"We have to step in and do something! To sit by and not act while that creature wreaks havoc is a violation of everything the Foundation stands for!" The man on the screen yelled as O5-2 scans the wall of screens. O5-2 isn't the only one present; other than the Founder, all members of the O5 Council, as well as Site Directors in Japan and nearby countries, as well.
"Lower your voice. You will not be warned again." Came O5-6's stern warning as the man calmed down. "Does anyone have any real ideas, or just more bluster?" A Japanese man raised his hand and was given permission to speak. "Other than the destruction in Jaku City and its surroundings, little damage had been done to the greater island of Japan. Despite the anomaly being present, the known locations of Children's safehouses show no signs of mobilization."
He bows and sits down as his words are considered. "Do we have any word from U.A.? Has the Principal reached out to us at all?" O5-2 shakes their head, "Negative, other than an updated psych evaluation, nothing new. Though I recommend all of you read that evaluation, lots of things have changed." A few nods as another member of the Council starts to speak.
"How quickly can we evacuate Japan should the anomaly go beserk and call down HIM?" O5-4 asks for calculations to run before an answer is given. "If we prioritize all anomalies and Foundation staff, a week. If we wanted to take as many people out of Japan as possible before it becomes a no-man's land, we'd lose more lives than we'd ever save."
That grisly news brings down the mood as another Site Director from Japan speaks. "We know where All For One is, and have been in contact. He may have a way to kill the anomaly." A moment of shocked silence rang out before dozens of voices started yelling all at once. "How could you go behind the Foundation!" "Why would you willingly communicate with that monster?!" "Where is he hiding!!"
O5-2 raised a hand, and silence returned as the Council went into a separate call to discuss, leaving the others in silence before they returned.
"Site Director Tanaka. We are willing to overlook this horrid breach of protocol once, only if it works." O5-2 delivered the Council's verdict as Tanaka sighed in relief, but O5-2 continued. "The anomaly MUST die today. If AFO fails, then you will be held accountable and will face the punishment for treason, colluding with an anomaly, and conspiring behind the Foundation's back." Tanaka paled at this, resolving to help AFO as much as possible.
As the meeting drew to a close, O5-2 said the customary words before disconnecting. "If that is all, would O5-1 like to add anything to this meeting?" They waited for 30 seconds, disappointed as once again, the great Founder left them in silence, before suddenly, a new screen appeared.
"Do not fail Shigero Tanaka, or there may not be anyone left to remember your mistake."

Darkstalker quickly woke up upon getting a snout full of frost, slamming his skull into Avanalche's to even the score as he took to the air to get away from Gigantomakia. "Should have stayed down, Nightwing!" he snarled as Makia leaped up and grabbed his tail.
Darkstalker clawed futilely at Makia's hand as he was slammed into the ground several times before breaking free. Several Nomu also arrived as Dabi went all out to try and kill Shoto. Darkstalker shut out all the noise as he focused on the Icewing first.
As the three monsters shook the earth around them, the heroes did their best to fight off the remaining Nomu and League members. Duku ends up having to save Shoto from Dabi, who tries to smother him in a flaming hug, as Katsumi forces her body to fight despite her exhaustion.
As Best Jeanist slowly strangles the League, Dabi and Shoto collide mid-air as flames scatter. "You truly are Father's masterpiece," Dabi states as Shoto increases the fire around him. Over with the dragons, Endeavor has joined the fight as he slowly whittles down Gigantomakia as Darkstalker pins Avalanche to the ground.
"No more game, Icewing!" Darkstalker roars as he prepares a final blast of fire. Using the last of his strength, Endeavor finally knocks Gigantomakia and himself unconscious as the fighting has finally pushed the sleeping agent made ages ago through his system. Mr Compress releases his quirk as Spinner, and a now awake Tomura is revealed.
'See what happens when you rush into things despite my advice. That is why you are still the student, dear Tomura.' AFO's voice echoes within Tomura's mind as he blasts the heroes away from him, stabbing at Darkstalker's maw with rivets, forcing him to burn them first, and saving Avalanche.
"I don't need your help anymore, Master," Tomura states as AFO chuckles within him. 'Maybe so, but you are still unable to break through the dragon's scales. Let me show you why I will always be your Master.' "What?" Tomura blurts as a sudden pressure forces all those present to the ground.
Gigantomakia is jolted awake as a massive dark portal opens in the air above them, and out steps the mangled body of All For One.
"I see you still carry that wound." Darkstalker taunted as AFO gingerly touched the gaping wound in his chest. "Yes, it has been quite troublesome to heal. Unfortunately for you, I've come to settle the score." AFO's hands were then wreathed in a shimmering glow that made his scales itch.
'Magic,' He concluded as AFO charged. Not wanting to get hit at all, Darkstalker became evasive as fire raced towards AFO, only to get blocked by Avalanche's frost breath. Soon, the fighting started again, with Avalanche, Gigantomakia, Stain, and Re-Destro trying their best to give AFO an opening to use whatever attack he had planned.
"Die pest!" Darkstalker ripped Re-Destro apart before smacking Stain away with his tail. Avalanche body slammed him, dropping them out of the air as Gigantomakia jumped and landed on them both. Shifting into human form, Darkstalker took to the air again and finished Re-Destro off with a bolt of fire before noticing AFO, hiding behind Tomura, casting a spell.
'SHIT SHIT SHIT!' He shot forward, smashing through Spinner and Dabi as Stain raced after him. Seeing him get closer, Tomura ordered one of the Nomu to intercept him. Getting annoyed, he shifted back into dragon form to bulldoze his way to AFO, who finally finished his spell.
"I command this bolt of flame to strike the dragon before me, no matter what. Upon hitting him, it will break and shatter any and all defensive spells he has cast on his body, leaving him unable to cast more for one full minute."
Darkstalker immediately started on a counter-spell before a huge weight landed on his back, forcing him into the dirt. Gigantomakia was back. Feeling the blows raining on his back, Darkstalker turned his head and blasted Makia point-blank with molten flames as Avalanche and Stain jumped in as well.
Breaking free, Darkstalker beat the trio back as AFO knelt, completely spent. "I've done all I can for you, Tomura. Now you have to finish the job while my body repairs itself." AFO shakes as his body convulses from using such an unnatural power, but it does its job as it strikes Darkstalker, who's being held in a chokehold, right in the chest.
Feeling the numerous enchantments applied and layered onto his body shatter, Darkstalker enters a frenzy as he lashes out with his claws and tail. Avalanche shrieks in pain as the membrane on his wings is torn open, as Darkstalker digs his talons in deep into his side.
Makia punches him off as bruises start to form. That doesn't stop Nightwing's fury as he rips into Makia's arm, shredding the rock like armor and flesh beneath as Stain closes in. He slashes at the dragon's forearms, drawing blood but unable to activate his quirk before Darkstalker shatters his blade, slamming him to the ground as the wounded Avalanche tackles him from behind.
Darkstalker shrieks in pain and fury as Avalanche's talons dig into his back and spine. He flips himself over to crush the other dragon before getting kicked in the chest by Gigantomakia. Winded, he's unable to move for a second, which is all it takes for Dabi to unleash his flames.
As usual, they prove futile as Darkstalker emerges from the flames, jaws open, ready to clamp down on Dabi before he freezes midair, Stain's quirk has kicked in. Taking advantage of this, they all jump at him as more Nomu fall from the dark portal overhead, creating more problems for the heroes.
"We have to reach him!" Izuku shouts as AFO turns his attention to him. "Ah, the current One For All. You'll get to see this world collapse before you die, starting with the lizard." He doesn't even spare the others a passing glance as Darkstalker breaks free again, bloody and battered but not yet broken.
As he catches his breath, Darkstalker glares at everyone around him, "I won't fall until every last one of you is shredded chunks of flesh!" He roars before charging at Avalanche, dodging a crushing blow from Makia as Stain limps out of the way.
Luckily, he isn't the target as Darkstalker blasts Avalanche with flames before slamming claws first into him. Even Gigantomakia takes a step back as the two dragons writhe around on the ground, blood flying and claws ripping into flesh as both Heroes and Villains stop to stare in horror at the tangled mess of scales and blood.
Finally, a victor comes on top as the dust settles to show Darkstalker pinning Avalanche to the ground, gripping him by his horns. "Any last words, Ice lizard?" He snarls as Avalanche opens his mouth to speak, only for Darkstalker to twist his neck, breaking it with a sickening crunch.
Letting the now dead dragon spasm on the ground, Darkstalker charges the remaining villains. Now weakened more than ever, Darkstalker draws more and more blood, even crushing one of Stain's arms before Gigantomakia grabs him and locks him in a chokehold.
Darkstalker thrashes furiously as the Heroes swarm them to break him out, but they are unable to do anything as they watch the furious struggle slowly die down, before it stops completely. "Break its neck." Tomura orders as Gigantomakia tries and succeeds.
"Farewell, Heroes, have fun. Come, Tomura, we have much to do." AFO waves at the heroes as the surviving members of the League, plus various Nomu and Gigantomakia, enter the portal, which closes, leaving them in the destroyed city, with two dead dragons.
