"Shit!" Shin snarled through gritted teeth as he realized Shigaraki had just commanded the monstrous Nomu. "Todoroki, we need to evacuate immediately—before that creature reaches us!"
A colossal pillar of ice erupted from the earth, encircling Nomu and Shigaraki in a glacial prison, granting them a fleeting window to escape.
Nomu's piercing shriek reverberated across the plaza as its grotesque head swiveled toward Shin, who was desperately propelling himself through the air using his quirk's strings.
With a ground-shattering leap, the Nomu launched itself forward, the concrete fracturing beneath its taloned feet from the sheer force of its movement. Shin's pupils contracted as fragmented memories—his little sister Rika's laughter, his parents' proud smiles—flashed before his eyes. "Shit! I'm dead, guys..." He squeezed his eyes shut, hot tears carving paths down his dust-streaked cheeks as the Nomu's massive fist hurtled toward his defenseless back.
BOOM!!!
In a blur of motion, Shin, Todoroki, and Momo—who was cradling their unconscious homeroom teacher—found themselves abruptly displaced to safety.
"The hell? How'd we get here?" Shin stammered, disoriented.
"What... just occurred?" Todoroki murmured, flexing his right hand in bewilderment.
The swirling dust gradually dissipated, revealing the unmistakable silhouette of the Symbol of Peace.
"We weren't teleported," Todoroki asserted. "All Might saved us."*
"Fear not... FOR I AM HERE!" All Might bellowed, adjusting his loosened tie with characteristic bravado.
"ALL MIGHT!" The students chorused, their voices thick with relief.
"All... Might," Shin whispered hoarsely. "Thank you... but Aizawa-sensei's critically injured—"
"My deepest apologies for my tardiness," All Might interjected, his tone uncharacteristically somber. "Young Todoroki, Young Shin—attend to him. I shall return momentarily."
Shigaraki's cracked lips split into a deranged grin as laughter bubbled from his throat. "How delightful! The so-called 'Symbol of Peace' arrives to take out the trash. This'll be your funeral!"
SWOOSH!!!
All Might rocketed forward at blinding speed, the resulting shockwave fracturing the pavement and forcing the students to shield themselves from the debris.
"Incredible..." Shin breathed, raising his arms against the gust.
"Nomu!" Shigaraki barked, clutching the bloody wound Shin had inflicted across his chest.
The bioengineered monstrosity blurred into motion, interposing itself between Shigaraki and All Might's incoming assault.
"CALIFORNIA SMASH!"
All Might's dual-fisted strike generated a devastating shockwave that obliterated the terrain behind Nomu—yet the creature didn't so much as stagger. "Remarkable... It didn't react at all," All Might muttered under his breath.
His next punch—a devastating blow to Nomu's abdomen—similarly failed to elicit any response.
Shigaraki's manic cackle echoed across the battlefield. "What's the matter, 'hero'? Isn't my masterpiece magnificent? Your pathetic attacks can't even make it flinch!"
"All Might?!" Midoriya's voice cracked from somewhere in the chaos.
"That abomination just tanked two direct hits from All Might? Bullshit!" Bakugou snarled, explosions scattering the lesser villains clinging to him.
"What kind of monstrosity is this?" Shin's entire body trembled as cold sweat drenched his uniform. "If they created something capable of withstanding All Might... they're absolutely serious about killing him."
"Don't overanalyze it," Todoroki said calmly, stepping beside him. "Surviving a few strikes doesn't equate to victory. No opponent has ever emerged triumphant against All Might."
"Yeah, you're right," Shin conceded, wiping sweat from his brow. "Let's trust in All Might and handle these damn extras."
"Count me in!" Bakugo snarled, propelling himself skyward with explosive force before landing in a superheroic crouch.
As the trio braced for combat, Shin swiped a grimy hand across his face, their stances unified against the remaining villains while All Might engaged the primary threat.
BOOM!!
The plaza trembled violently from the shockwave. Every eye snapped toward Nomu's position—but All Might had vanished.
"Pathetic," Shigaraki sneered, scratching at his neck.
The clatter of falling debris redirected their attention. There, embedded in a shattered wall, was All Might.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" Bakugo's palms crackled with barely-contained fury, veins throbbing at his temples. **"That fucking thing just knocked All Might through a wall? I'll slaughter every last one of you worthless maggots!"** He rocketed forward like a human missile.
"Bakugo, wait!" Shin shouted. **"Heroes don't kill—we're not like them!"
"Shut your mouth, fatty!"
Todoroki glided forward on an ice path, his breath visible in the cold air. "He won't listen. Just support him."
All Might's focus shattered as Nomu's fist grazed his cheek. "You abomination!" He pivoted and delivered a crushing counterattack—yet Nomu remained unscathed. "What? No effect?"
"Shock absorption," Kurogiri intoned from the shadows.
All Might's bloodied lips curled into a smirk. "Then let's test those limits."
The two titans clashed at hypersonic speeds, their movements blurring into invisibility. To an untrained eye, it might have appeared like teleportation—but the truth was far more terrifying.
The earth ruptured beneath them. A maelstrom of dust and debris filled the air as their fists collided in a relentless exchange.
"TEXAS SMASH!"
All Might planted his foot, torqueing his hips for maximum power—until inky black mist materialized between his fist and Nomu's face.
"Wha—?!"
The warp gate reappeared behind All Might. His own punch rocketed from the void, slamming into his spine with brutal force. Crimson sprayed from his mouth as he faceplanted into the concrete.
Shigaraki's grin widened grotesquely. "Excellent work, Kurogiri."
Nomu capitalized instantly, its follow-up strike sending All Might careening through a cluster of low-tier villains.
"All Might?!" Shin's voice cracked with alarm.
Momo's hands flew to her mouth. "This... this isn't right."
"That fucking warp bastard!" Bakugo's forehead veins pulsed dangerously. "This time I'll murder him for real!"
Todoroki's ice encased the remaining villains in glacial tombs. His chest heaved violently—every muscle screamed in protest from overexertion.
All Might's devastating punch sent shockwaves through the battlefield, debris scattering like shrapnel as Nomu effortlessly deflected the barrage. In a flash of movement, All Might connected a brutal uppercut to Nomu's jaw—the creature's piercing screech filled the air as it somehow caught his fist mid-swing.
"Damn it!"
Nomu counterattacked with a lethal strike aimed directly at All Might's face. Just as the blow was about to connect, a surge of Erasure from Aizawa nullified Nomu's Quirk at the critical moment.
"Huh? Its power diminished?" All Might muttered, instantly capitalizing on this fleeting advantage.
"You persistent cockroach!" Shigaraki raged, clawing violently at his neck. "How are you still conscious, Eraser Head?!"
"Bakugo—now's our opening!"
"Kurogiri! Quit stalling!"
"DIE!" Bakugo's explosion detonated with thunderous force, engulfing the area in thick smoke.
"Kurogiri?! What's the hold-up?!"
"Try moving, warp bastard," Bakugo sneered, his sparking palms hovering threateningly near Kurogiri's metallic brace. "I'll blow your misty brains out."
"All Might! Finish this!" Bakugo roared.
"Not so fast—" Shin's fingers twitched, his binding strings coiling around Nomu's limbs while Todoroki, pushing past his limits, flash-froze the creature's hands where they gripped All Might.
"My gratitude, young heroes!" With a mighty heave, All Might shattered the frozen restraints, sending crystalline shards glittering through the air.
"You meddling brat!" Shigaraki spat, clutching his bleeding chest wound—Shin's earlier handiwork.
"Aizawa-sen—" Blood gushed from their teacher's mouth as he collapsed, his Quirk deactivating. Instantly, Nomu's severed limbs regenerated before their horrified eyes.
"Shock absorption wasn't its only ability?!"
"Who said that was its only trick?" Shigaraki cackled maniacally. "Nomu! Reclaim our exit!"
With an ear-splitting shriek, Nomu's fingers cracked ominously as it launched toward Bakugo at murderous speed, aiming to pulverize Kurogiri's captor.
BOOM!!
Blood poured from All Might's mouth and wounds—his body pushed far beyond reasonable limits today. Yet his azure eyes burned with determination. "Your reign ends here, villain." The whisper carried terrifying finality: "One For All... 100%."
"SMASH!!"
The resulting shockwave atomized the landscape behind Nomu as the titans exchanged blows faster than sight could follow.
"SMASH GATLING!" All Might's fists became blurs, hundreds of world-shattering punches driving Nomu backward.
"Nomu?! Don't tell me you're losing to this weakened has-been?!" Shigaraki's voice cracked with panic.
The concussive force knocked everyone off their feet. Pavement split like glass; trees and boulders vaporized in the wake of their clash. Steam poured from All Might's overtaxed muscles as he gathered every remaining ounce of strength.
"GO BEYOND... PLUS ULTRA! UNIVERSAL SMASH!!"
His final earth-rending punch launched Nomu through the USJ dome, the resulting explosion shaking the foundation.
"Nomu?! Game... over?" Shigaraki trembled, watching his masterpiece—his entire plan—crumble before the Symbol of Peace.
"All Might...?" Shin breathed in awe.
The battlefield erupted in cheers as All Might stood triumphant, fist raised victoriously to the heavens—
"Kurogiri! WE'RE LEAVING!"
