[Eraserhead POV]
*VROOOOM!*
Eraserhead revved the motorcycle up the wooded hill, his hair and scarf trailing in the wind behind him. Hit tire squealed on the asphalt as he hit a tight turn to the right.
*Blip, blip*
Eraserhead pulled out his tracker.
{Low Battery}
Eraserhead cursed. The tracker was his only method for finding All Might in the hillside. Time for the old fashion way. He pulled out his phone.
{No Signal}
Eraserhead cursed again.
Tracker is out of juice. He is lost in God knows where, trying to find All Might. He now has no method of communication, nor navigation. Thankfully the sun was rising. He knew which way was east.
Eraserhead cranked the handle bar on his motorcycle, cresting a hill with a few feet of air. He landed with a skid. He revved even more as the road evened out, doing a wheelie. He looked upwards towards the sky, trying to see any sign of where they could be. But there weren't even any clouds. If only he had a -
??? : "Watcha doin?"
Eraserhead jolted in his seat, hitting the breaks and skidding sideways. He looked back to see a familiar rabbit hero following him on a bicycle.
Eraserhead : "Mirko!?!"
Mirko gave a toothy grin.
Mirko : "Good to see you too Eraserhead! So what are you doin? You left in quite the hurry."
Eraserhead rubbed his temple.
Eraserhead : "I am in a hurry. Now - wait. Do you have your phone on you? And what happened to you and those robot things?"
Mirko laughed.
Mirko : "I thought they would have put up more than a fight. But all they did was say "Roger" as I clanked their heads together, although I admit they were starting to get a little tricky. Especially once they started spewing fire. Only some scrapes and bruises. Thanks for asking. As for my phone..."
Mirko reached for one of her hidden pockets, trying to pull out her phone. She got it out. It came out in two pieces and then some. It was broken.
Mirko : "Dammit! Its my third this week!"
Eraserhead facepalmed. Great. Now they were both lost.
Eraserhead : "What are you even doing here?"
Mirko tossed what was left of her phone to the side.
Mirko : "Well, you looked like you were chasing something. Or someone. I figured you could use some back up. You didn't look so hot."
Eraserhead knew better. Those robots were basically a warm-up for her. She wants bigger prey. Eraserhead weighed his options, which was easy because he had none.
Eraserhead : "Fine. But keep quiet about this. It'll be really bad if the public finds out that All Might's been kidnapped."
Mirko burst out laughing, doubling over as she gave the heartiest guffa's.
Mirko : "PFFFHAHAHAHAHAHA! All Might? Kidnapped? Get real. HAHAHAHA!"
She stopped abruptly once she realized that Eraserhead was dead silent with a serious gaze. She stared back at him.
Mirko : "Wait. You're being serious?"
Eraserhead : "..."
Mirko : "Well, s***, really!?!... Wait? If he's been kidnapped, then why didn't you grab more heroes to go rescue him?... Haha. Rescuing All Might....It sounds weird."
Eraserhead : "Because, like I said, it'll be bad if too many of the wrong people find out that All Might's been kidnapped. Once the world knows that it's "Symbol of Peace" is gone, countless villains will start creeping out of the shadows they were hiding in to try to take advantage of the situation. It will be chaos. Even after we get him back, we would still need to keep a lid on this. All Might has a reputation of being the world's strongest hero, which also acts like a kind of deterrent for villains and keeping them from getting any bright ideas. If they find out that it's possible to get the drop on All Might, then some of the smart ones will eventually try to get rid of him. Or at least go for more of the riskier jobs. And I don't mean the standard banks or jewel stores. I'm talking about government facilities, higher tier tech companies, and terrorism. Besides, I was in a rush at the time. Thankfully, it seems that there is only one villain."
Mirko : "How do you know it's only one villain?"
Eraserhead : "Because why would a villain need accomplices if he had an army of robots at his disposal. Any involvement of others just adds more risk of mission compromise, especially if it was carefully planned an thought out. And the fact that during this entire ordeal, he was the only actual "person" that seemed responsible for taking All Might. But even that might be a stretch. When I fought him I used my quirk to erase his. It had no effect. On top of that, wherever I struck him, it felt like I was striking some sort of metal armor. There's a chance that he might also be a robot. But if the villain I fought is a robot, then someone else must be controlling him as well as the others. A creator. A digital mastermind. Even the ice cream truck I was chasing drove itself half the time."
Mirko's ears perked up.
Mirko : "Wait? Why were you chasing an ice cream truck?"
Eraserhead : "It was his getaway vehicle."
Mirko : "Now that you mention, you do smell of strawberries, chocolate, and...*sniff sniff*... is that pistachio? What did he do? Tickle you with a popsicle?"
Eraserhead : "He had a turret that shot ice cream at me in scoops."
Mirko : "What really?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You're so pathetic for getting beat by something like that! He probably thought you were allergic! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Eraserhead rolled his eyes.
Eraserhead : "I tracked him down to this area. Problem is, I lost the trail and I don't know how to find them. My navigator ran out of battery."
Mirko laughed harder, the corners of her eye's watered.
Mirko : "HAHAHAHA! Wait! So the guy beat you with a dessert, outran you in a slow ice-cream truck playing a silly jingle, and lost you so hard that you got lost? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!"
Eraserhead was starting to get irritated.
Eraserhead : "Alright it looks bad! Point is, we have to find him and rescue All Might. Or at least get him some back up when he fights the villain. Any idea's on where we might have gone?"
Mirko continued laughing.
Mirko : "HAHAHAHA! Well maybe you could follow that pillar of smoke over there! Did you even see it?! HAHAHAHAHA!"
Eraserhead looked over to where Mirko, now calming down from her laughing fit, had pointed. Over the trees in the distance Eraserhead could see the top part of the smoke column on the other side of a mountain. How could he miss it. You could even smell the smoke.
There was a faint boom in that echoed distance and a slight tremble, but very noticeable. Eraserhead revved his motorcycle.
Eraserhead : "We have to hurry if we want to make it in time. Get on."
Mirko grinned as she shook her head and pointed at their destination.
Mirko : "Thanks, but no thanks. I know a short cut that can get us there faster. Its through the forest here."
Eraserhead : "And how exactly am I supposed to ride my motorcycle through that?"
Mirko grinned wider, revealing her canines.
Mirko : "Who said anything about riding a motorcycle."
Eraserhead thought for a moment.
Eraserhead : "You're not planning on..."
Mirko : "I totally am. Don't worry, I'm a professional."
Eraserhead looked at the forest, then back at Mirko. He shrugged.
Eraserhead : "I guess we got to take what we can get."
________________________________________________________________________________
[On the other side of the mountain]
All Might and Spoiler zoomed back and forth through the clearing and surrounding forest as they rapidly exchanged blows, moving faster than the naked eye could see. Clouds and dust and smoke rose above the trees, only to be instantly dispersed by a powerful shockwave from one of their attacks.
Spoiler was laughing like a maniac.
Spoiler : "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Is that all you got, Skinny Might?!"
All Might :Â "Detroit SMASH!!!!"
All Might threw a powerful punch towards Spoiler. Spoiler gracefully dodged it. The punch created a large shockwave that uprooted trees for hundreds of meters and stripped them of their leaves. Spoiler appeared suddenly in front of All Might. He pulled both fists backwards.
Spoiler : "MACHINCE GUN BLOWS!"
*PowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPowPow!*
All Might moved backwards as he took the brunt of the force from Spoiler's attack. Spoiler disappeared as soon as he stopped, and just in time as All Might countered attacked. More trees gained the ability of flight as another shockwave tore through the forest. All Might followed after Spoiler as soon as he had him in his sight. They both played tag as they gradually made their way back to the clearing.
Spoiler : "FUSRODA!!!!!!!"
A powerful shockwave blasted All Might into the air along with other debris. All Might got ready to unleash another powerful attack towards the ground, but to his surprise, Spoiler met him in the air.
Spoiler : "Geppo - Blitz."
The villain then barraged All Might from all angles mid-air, seeming to bounce off of invisible walls as he hit hard and fast. All Might fended of the attacks as they fell towards the ground.
*BoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoom!!!*
All Might : 'Looks like a quirk similar to Gran Torino's. How many does he have?'
All Might accelerated away from spoiler as his feet hit the ground. Spoiler put to fingers to the side of his head.
Spoiler : "Cyclops Blast!"
*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!!!!*
A burst of what appeared to be glowing plasma shot forth from where Spoilers eyes were, decimating everything in their path and carving a trench 12ft deep as the attack swept towards All Might. All Might dodged, but one of his bangs didn't make it.
Spoiler : "Gotta go fast."
*Sonic Boom!*
All Might didn't see the punch coming.
*POW!*
Spoiler had lured All Might to the side with the Cyclops attack, then seemingly teleported to All Might to deliver a surprise attack. The punch transferred its full power to All Might's face, flinging him backwards towards a mountain while at the same time causing him to cartwheel. All Might saw stars for the first time in a loooong while.
*BAM!*
All Might hit the mountain side with the force of a meteor, causing that side of the mountain range to explode and blacked out for a second, losing his buff form. But before he could transform, Spoiler was already in front of him.
All Might : 'Oh crap!'
Spoiler : "Why am I going through such lengths to beat you All Might? I said it was to get infamous, but to be honest there are plenty of ways to get the public to fear you. "
Spoiler crouched down towards All Might And put two fingers from each hand on both sides of his own head.
Spoiler : "Think All Might, think! If you die, who will be the new Symbol of Peace? You have no successor, are dying from an old war wound you got from a villain that you failed to kill. What would your predecessor say if she say you today? What was her name? Oh yeah. Nana Shimura."
All Might grunted as he slowly picked himself up off the ground, steam rolling off his body as he tried to get into his buff form.
All Might : "Keep her name out of your filthy mouth!"
Spoiler : "Oh, it gets better. While you were playing hero, she had a grandson. Tomura, I think his name was. Its such a sad story. When he awakened his quirk, he accidentally killed the only family he ever knew."
All Might : "What?!"
Spoiler : "Don't like that, huh? Well, there's more."
All Might finally buffed up and knocked Spoiler back down the mountainside, then followed up with a smash of a fist. Spoiler met it with his own fist and for a while the two tried to force the other back while preparing to follow up with another punch with their opposing arms. Spoiler continued to shout his evil monologue at All Might.
Spoiler : "Due to society's blind trust in heroes, it allows them to use it as an excuse to avoid the responsibilities they normally would take up!"
Spoiler threw a punch and All Might caught it, creating a mini boom as the fist met his palm.
Spoiler : "Who needs to be good when the world has heroes to do it for them? Who needs to be brave to do the right thing when you have a hero agency around the corner? Who needs to sacrifice for the sake of another when "All Might is here", when in reality he is a skeleton wearing skin? Who needs to care when there are hundreds of thousands of heroes who do it for a living? HAHAHAHA!"
All Might grabbed Spoiler by the arm and threw him towards the forest. Spoiler landed on the side of a tree and launched himself right in All Might's face.
Spoiler : "Who needs to worry when there are heroes around! See a guy that looks like he is having a tough time in life and might commit suicide? Look the other way and hope a hero will take care of it. See someone getting attacked in the middle of the street? Run away and hope a hero takes care of it. See a kid who is all alone and looks like he is hurting on the inside and is probably lost?..."
All Might counter attacked with an upwards kick, which almost caught Spoiler in the head as he blocked it with a downwards cross guard. The force of the blow launched him into the air and All Might jumped up to meat him, leaving a small crater where he once was. Spoiler double jumped in the air, narrowly missing another punch. All Might over shot his position.
Spoiler : " "A hero will take care of it. A hero will take care of it." That's what they all say!"
Spoiler darted towards the ground. He landed and moved to the position where All Might was aiming to make a landing.
Spoiler : "Extract those who take up the responsibility to be "good" from society to create superheroes and to worship them as gods with media, talk shows, and toys - and you leave it filled a bunch of cowards who only care about the comfort of their own well being."
All Might punch towards Spoiler, who blocked it with another punch. The collision forced Spoiler towards the ground, making a crater that raised up dust. All Might redirected his left over force into a roll, gaining some distance away from Spoiler.
Spoiler : "Not only that. It takes the good intentions of those that aspire to be heroes and twists them to use their glorified position to pursue the vanities of fame and wealth! And don't get me started on the pride!"
Spoiler pressed his attack, barraging All Might with light punches and kicks. All Might caught them on his forearms.
Spoiler : "I have seen villains display more heroic qualities than even the likes of the number 2 hero, Endeavor! Which honestly, heheheheh, if only you knew what I knew. You would see him not as a hero that the world paints him to be, but a villain!"
All Might swung his arms across his chest, creating a pressurized x-shaped wind which interrupted Spoilers onslaught.
Spoiler : "And you All Might! The number one hero? HAHAHAHA! You don't smile and laugh in the face of fear. You smile to hide your own!"
All Might followed up with a uppercut, which Spoiler avoided by dodging to the right.
Spoiler : "You wanna know what happened to your sensei's grandchild while you were busy signing autographs in America? After he accidentally ended up turning his whole family to dust because of his destructive quirk's awakening, he wandered in the streets for days!"
*BOOM!*
Spoiler got a hard kick off of All Might's left side. All Might grunted as he clutched at the place where his old injury was, flying above the dirt along with the shockwave from Spoiler's attack.
Spoiler : "He expected someone to see his distress and care enough to help him. Someone to ease the suffering he was going through. Someone to take him in their arms and tell him it was going to be ok. Heheheheh. But you know what they did? Do you you know how people reacted? Do you know what they said!?"
All Might retaliated as soon as his feet touched the ground, dashing towards Spoiler and tried to smash him across the face. Spoiler blocked the attack but was knocked away due to the force of the blow. He soared into the distance with All Might closely following. They traded dozens of blows within seconds, all the while zig zagging between the trees of the forest. Leaves filled the cold mountain breeze along with splintered fragments of wood and twine.
Anyone who were watching would only see branches and trees being launched into the air as multiple shockwaves danced underneath the thick canopy throughout the forest. They worked their way back to the clearing, now dotted with fresh craters. The fight was filling the air with the smell similar to fresh soil.
Spoiler : ""A hero will take care of it", "I got to get to work so I'll leave this to a hero or police officer", "A hero will come and save them". "
All Might had been trying to focus on the fight. Villains always seemed to have something to say. Some sort of speech to get their world views out in the open. And when they do speak, it usually lowers their combative ability since the brain can only do so many things at once. But sometimes villains do it to try to distract their opponents. To try to get them to let their guard down. All Might had experienced this thing many times before, but it seemed different this time.
These topics. Something, some sort of instinct deep down, told him that he should be paying close attention to what the villain has been saying...or trying to say.
Spoiler and All Might emerged from the forest and into the clearing, now slightly larger than it once was due to the destructive forces of the fight. They took positions distant from each other, each one waiting for the other to make a move.
But All Might spoke instead. The sun reflected the blue in his eyes, causing the color to shine intensely.
All Might : "If this child is still alive, then I will rescue him. No matter what he has done, no matter where he has gone, no matter what the cost I will save him. I swear it!"
Spoiler just stared at him for a while, letting the breeze quietly whistle throughout the tattered battlefield.
Then he burst out laughing.
Spoiler : "HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! You don't have to worry about thaaat. Somebody already got him off the street, and are now taking very good care of him! I thought it was a miracle! Since no one, no hero, no police man, or "respectable" member of society had been able to stir their own heart enough to even care for for the poor boy. But this guy! HAHAHAHAHA! He saw him taking shelter under a bridge, and felt oh so sorry for the poor chap. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!"
All Might smiled.
All Might : "Well, that's good too hear. Now all I have to do is find this man and I'll find Tomura. Now. Who is this man, and where is he?"
Spoiler laughed even harder, doubling over while having one hand on his stomach and the other on his head.
All Might felt a chill crawl over his skin.
All Might : "What's so funny?"
Spoiler : Oh. I'm sorry! Sometimes I get a bit carried away with myself. But, hahaha, we've come this far. So why not go all the way? HAHAHA! Ehem, 'scuse me. The person you are looking for is actually someone you know. In fact even Shimura knows him. She knows him very well. Heheheheheheheheheheheheheh..."
All Might : "Just spit it out. Who is it?!"
Spoiler spun in place, ending it with both of his hands doing the finger-gun. He pointed at All Might.
Spoiler : "His name is Shigaraki."
All Might felt a jolt go over his entire body, instantly losing his smile.
All Might : "W-What?"
Spoiler giggled.
Spoiler : "Yes. His name is Shigaraki. All For One. The "Demon Lord" of Japan. I don't know exactly where he is. The villain whom you failed to finish off showed more kindness to Shimura's grandson than society, than even the heroes. I wonder what kind of psychological impact that would have on a child, and that's if All For One is treating him well. I wonder what kind of person he is grooming the child to be? Certainly not a hero. HAHAHAHA! Knowing All For One, I assume that he is training Tomura to see you as his greatest foe, and society as his oppressor. If a villain can't be born out of those sort of teachings, I don't know what can. Maybe a politician? HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!"
All Might started to tremble. Spoiler pressed his taunts.
Spoiler : "All Might. The world's number one hero. Society's Symbol of Peace. Ask yourself All Might. Are you really a hero? You said you would save the kid but you lost him before you even began your search. You put yourself up as the single pillar that can support humanity, but that is not how I would hold up my roof, much less the world. If you get taken out, then the illusion of society's safety will shatter. Have you ever heard the phrase "never put all your eggs in one basket?" Its like that. Not to mention all that pressure. You sought to cast the brightest of lights upon the world, but you couldn't see the shadows you were casting as well. Heroes look up to you and constantly try to compare themselves to you. Some of them have even grown to despise you. Now you will die, alone, on the battlefield. And with no one to help you. You want to save the world, but now, who is going to save you? You're a weakling."
All Might clenched his fist.
All Might : "What you say may or may not be true, but one thing for sure is this."
All Might's eyes bore into Spoiler's.
All Might : "I will defeat you."
________________________________________________________________________________
[Koto's POV (Inside the stomach area of the mech suit that is Spoiler)]
All Might : "I will defeat you."
I felt chills. Did I go a bit too far with the bullying? I mean, I did want to tell him all the stuff All For One was planning. But I think this is enough for now. I told him plenty already. Maybe too much. But, hey, I call myself Spoiler. Now all I have to do is wrap up this fight and make my getaway.
All Might bent his knees, getting ready to rush at me. His body was starting to smoke, but he still held it together with sheer determination.
I saw movement in the corner of my eye. Something white.
Mirko was on scene and she rushed towards me with a look in her eyes that said she wanted to tear me to pieces and feed me to her pet rabbits. Eraserhead was also here, hiding behind the cover of the tree line.
Oh crap.
Mirko was now almost upon me. She lifted one of her legs upward for a downward kick. I could see All Might's eyes widen in suprise.
All Might : "NO! DON'T!!! HE'S TOO - "
Mirko : "LUNA ARC!!!"
I guess it's rabbit season, then.
I sidestepped her kick, just centimeters to spare, and readied my hand. I hoped this works.
Me (Spoiler) : "BEGONE! THOT!"
I activated my quirk and slapped her across the face.
There was a sonic boom as she suddenly went flying into the forest, knocking against a couple of trees. I couldn't see her.
I was shocked. I replayed the slapping motion with my hand and looked back towards All Might.
Me : "Holy crap! It really works!"
I looked at All Might.
Me : "She'll probably be fine."
All Might flew at me. I dodged his punch and backed away, ready for a counter attack. Eraserhead darted from the cover of the tree line and started shouting at All Might, buying me time, thankfully.
Eraserhead : "ALL MIGHT! MY QUIRK DOESN'T WORK ON HIM!"
All Might : "Eraserhead! Get Mirko and get away from here! This villain is very dangerous and has multiple quirks! I'll hold him off while you two escape."
Eraserhead screamed at the top of his lungs
Eraserhead : "ALL MIGHT! MY QUIRK CAN'T CANCEL HIS QUIRKS BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY! HE'S A ROBOT!!!!!!"
Oh crap.
All Might stopped his charge abruptly.
All Might : "What?!?!? No quirks?! Are you sure?!?!"
Eraserhead : "I fought him earlier when he was kidnapping you! He is a robot and uses advanced technology. He's not human! He is a robot!!!"
All Might looked at Eraserhead, then looked at me.
All Might : "Are you really sure?"
Eraserhead : "I wouldn't have come all the way here just to tell you that if I wasn't sure."
His smile widened to the point where it actually looked like it was literally shining. Even his eyes had a certain gleam to them.
All Might : "Thanks for the tip. Now I can stop holding back."
Oh crap.
Me : "You were holding back?"
All Might laughed.
All Might : "HAHAHAHA! Of course I was. I was conserving strength and waiting for the chance for when you let your guard down. Not only that, but I have to be careful with how much strength I use when combating villains. I don't want to accidentally kill anybody. But now that I know that you are not a living person, there's no reason for me to pull my punches. Now...what was it you were saying about me being weak? No matter. What I should be asking is..."
All Might banged his fists together with such force that it created a mini shockwave.
All Might : "Will you surrender now? You will be destroyed if you don't, because...!"
All Might raised his right fist in front of himself.
All Might : "I AM HERE!"
I could practically hear the the You Say Run music playing in the background...Wait a minute.
I activated my quirk.
Yep. I can hear the music. I wonder if I this means I will have have good plot armor? Is that still a thing? Can my quirk do that if I'm roleplaying as a villain? Can it even do that in the first place?
I raised my voice to All Might.
Me : "No thanks. I think I still have a decent chance at beating you."
All Might grinned.
All Might : "At least you're no coward. I'm going to enjoy this."
All Might got into a stance, the he launched himself at me. The ground exploded where he once stood and rings of vapor were punctuated with sonic booms. He punched the air in front of me and I was blown away into the sky by the shockwave and the rush of air. I soared over the forest majestically. It would have been so beautiful if it wasn't so terrifying.
Guess I should try to fight back at least.
I used geppo to stop myself from going any further and to fly back to All Might. I sighed, and time seemed to slow down to a crawl. I took a deep breath.
Me : "Gotta Go Fast!"
I shot forth faster than speeding bullet and approached All Might.
*Whoosh!*
I tried to punch All Might, but he moved to the side and grabbed the wrist of my mech suit. He pivoted and yeeted me towards the mountain.
Ok. Looks like my attack didn't work. Looks like I need to use my quirk more for combat training.
*BOOM!*
I crashed into the mountain, causing a rockslide. Before I knew it All Might was on top of me, about to smash me further into the mountain. I jumped out of the way and countered.
Me : "MACHINE GUN BLOWS!!!
All Might : "That won't work on me twice!"
And it didn't. Instead of taking the bows on his forearms and getting blasted back like last time, he instead countered each and every punch with a slap of his hand. I leapt away and put my arms together.
Me : "Don't worry. I was just getting warmed up. Incinerate."
My arms transformed and I blasted All Might. Smoke obscured my vision.
Me : "Ultimate Move - Meme Persona : Agent 47."
This move was a very specially one, triggered by the tattoo on the back of my head. I can use it to gain all the skills and abilities that the legendary assassin "Agent 47" has. My senses sharpness and range increase exponentially, my reflexes are like lightning, my movements more refined, and I practically had x-ray vision. The coolest part of this meme was that it did not give me the skills of the Agent 47 from the movies. It gave me the skills of the Agent 47 from the games.
I quickly darted towards the ground, gently merging into the cloud of dust. I used my senses to scan for Might. I found him among some trees that had also been covered by the cloud of dust. Looks like that sort of attack is something he feels like he has to dodge.
All Might : "Hiding in the dust, huh. And I thought you were the strong type that just jumps straight into the fight."
I approached stealthily, hiding in the shadows. I moved from tree to tree till I was almost upon him. I raised my hand, ready to deliver a KO blow to the back of his neck using a hand chop.
*BOOM!*
All Might threw a punch into the air, dispelling the cloud, but I was still behind him. Suddenly, he turned around and spotted me. He grinned wider and raised a fist.
All Might : "There you are!"
I caught his attack in my hand, nearly destroying the robotic limb as the force of All Might's punch practically disintegrated the sleeve, revealing my mech's robotic arm. It was starting to spark as electricity jumped between the joints.
All Might : "HAHAHAHA! You really are a robot!"
Me : "Goku Gut Punch."
All Might : "?"
*POW!*
I used my quirk as I punched All Might in the gut with my free hand, directing it towards his old injury. He practically puked his blood as he flew backwards further into the forest and clear of the mountain range. I followed after him, smashing the ground which launched everything else nearby in the air as an opposing effect. Including All Might.
All Might : "This is where it ends, villain!"
He was waiting for me.
All Might : "Detroit SMASH!!!"
*BOOM!*
*WHOOOOOOOOOOSH!*
All Might punched the air in front of him, directing it towards me with a bit of a spin. It ripped up the loose earth from the ground and blew uprooted trees into a spiral. It was like a horizontal tornado directed at me.
I readied my arms and spun them in the opposing direction just as the cyclone hit me. It dispersed as I slid back several meters. But All Might had been rushing through the center of it at the same time, using it as a kind of trojan horse combined of bits of trees and clumps of the earth. He was too close for me to counter attack with a punch and my feet were off the ground. I could just use geppo, but I didn't want to.
Why?
I could see it in his eyes. All Might wanted to wrap up this fight. He wanted to end it here. I kind of did too. My mech suit could only take so much strain before it start to rapidly degrade and fall to pieces. My automatic repair system helped, but it was designed to repair attacks from others. It was not designed to help dampen the destruction from my own attacks combined with All Might's.
I wonder if this the same problem Deku had when fighting villains.
I should have put more planning into this, but I didn't exactly want to win. I just wanted to get in a fight with All Might. If that happened then news would inevitably spread throughout the underworld of how a villain kidnapped All Might, fought with him, then escaped. A villain that is capable of taking All Might head on and is hiding in the shadows, awaiting for his opportunity to strike again.
And here I am. About to take on what is probably going to be All Might's most powerful attack. I only had a few split seconds to react.
All Might : "UNITED!!!!!...."
All Might's fist started to radiate with all of his inherited quirk's power, the combined power of all the heroes before him who had it. The wind around us seemed to move faster, but the debris seemed to move slower.
I activated my quirk while simultaneously redirecting all power into my arms and torso, reinforcing them with everything I had. Electricity jumped away from my mech, into the ground, and vice versa. Arcs of bright black and blue electricity gathered around the places I was reinforcing.
All Might : "...STATES!!!!..."
I could hear the theme "You Say Run" play in the back ground as I activated my quirk once more.
Rare Defensive Meme - Wonder Woman's Cross Guard.
I put My arms into the cross guard. My mech's forearms glowed slightly as they arced with electricity.
All Might : "OF SMAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.........."
All Might's fist met my cross guard. My forearms pushed backwards into my torso. Jets of multicolored plasma and lightning filled the air. I was expecting All Might to knock me back with that attack. But he ran, carrying me in one direction with his punch and was continually pushing his fist into my my cross guard and torso. This directed more destructive energy into my defense, piercing it.
All Might : "PLUSSS!!!!!...."
But it looked like All Might wasn't done yet.
All Might : "ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*chuckles*
I'm in danger...
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!*
You Say Run met its climax as All Might curved his punch to point downward, smashing me into the ground and violently forming a large crater. The wind pressure was like an atomic bomb, flattening all the trees in the entire forest.
I have never felt so much physical pain in my entire life.

All Might was breathing heavily, standing over the bloody remains of the villain Spoiler. He clutched his side, firmly pressing against his own wound as his body started to smoke. He heard someone approach form the side.
Eraserhead : "All Might!"
All Might smiled. He had to say something.
All Might : "I...have won!"
Eraserhead : "Take it easy. You pushed yourself too hard."
All Might grunted.
All Might : "It was a powerful villain. I nearly died several times before you guys came along. I couldn't give anything less than a hundred percent of One For All. No. One hundred percent probably wouldn't have been enough. I had to go beyond."
All Might coughed more blood.
Eraserhead nodded.
Eraser : "Let's go. You need medic attention. You are covered in your own blood. And look around! You had practically painted the area in it!"
All Might looked down. He was indeed covered in his own blood, and quite a bit covered the area around him.
All Might : "Alright. Lets go. And lets try to find Mirko before we leave. She took a hard hit."
Eraserhead : "Sorry I couldn't be of help."
All Might : "No, you did. I probably wouldn't have beaten him if I didn't know he was a robot. Its ironic. Villains main weakness tends to be their own lack of humanity."
Eraserhead nodded as he took one of All Might's arms over his shoulder. They started walking away from the site. They were only about a couple dozen meters away when they started to hear a laugh from behind them. It was distorted and faint, but their was no mistaking that sinister tone.
All Might and Eraserhead quickly turned to look back.
??? : "Heheheheheheheheheh. Hahahahahahaha..."
Spoiler was standing.
Spoiler : "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
The robot was covered in blood and one of its arms was missing. The mask had been destroyed and revealed a blank metallic face with no features. The bottom part of it was splattered with blood.
All Might and Eraserhead took a few steps back and away from each other. Even though the villain's body was essentially destroyed, there was no telling what he would do. Especially if he was going to use something as a last resort.
Spoiler : "Lack of humanity? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Now that's funny. I didn't expect you to be so humorous in this sort of situation."
All Might stopped his deflation, though it was incredibly difficult, and was now starting to buff up his body again.
All Might : "Give up villain. Its over. Your body has been all but annihilated and if you won't come quietly, I will destroy what's left of it."
Spoiler chuckled, his body shaking slightly.
Spoiler : "Oh, don't worry. I won't try anything. I can't either. I can hardly move this hunk of junk. But don't pretend this fight hasn't taken its toll on you All Might. You can't even keep your form up anymore than for a few minutes at best right now."
All Might : "Perhaps. But its still enough to take you down."
Eraserhead spoke up.
Eraserhead : "Who created you?"
Spoiler thought for a moment, then resumed chuckling.
Spoiler : "Now that's a good question. But its not the right one you should be asking."
Eraserhead loosed his scarf.
Eraserhead : "And what is the question I should be asking?"
Spoiler laughed, using his last arm to direct their attention to the blood around himself.
Spoiler : "Who's blood is this? Some of it is All Might's. But but not all of it."
All Might's mind was racing.
All Might : "Its your blood isn't it? You are not a robot, but a cyborg! If that's the case, then surrender. We can get you some medical attention. You'll die at this rate!"
Spoiler laughed again.
Spoiler : "HAHAHA! Well yes, but actually, no. HAHAHAHAHA!"
All Might frowned.
Eraserhead : "What do you mean?"
Spoiler tilted his head.
Spoiler : "Its not my blood."
All Might And Eraserhead felt a chill as Spoiler continued to laugh. All Might felt that something was not right. That something was wrong. Something was very wrong.
Spoiler : "All Might. You remember that kid I said I killed? The white haired one that tried to warn you? Heheheheh. I didn't."
Spoiler tore off the clothes covering his torso.
Spoiler : "You did..."
In the cavity of Spoiler's chest and stomach was what looked like to be a bloodied corpse of a small child that couldn't have been older than six. The child had pearly white hair, now partly stained crimson with his own blood.
All Might felt a jolt of electricity go through his entire body. He forgot to breath as he stared in shock at the result of his punch. He felt like he got punched again, but in the heart. His body deflated as he grieved his ignorance. His smile disappeared.
He just killed an civilian. An innocent child.
Spoiler : "HAHAHAHA! I figured if I couldn't destroy you, then I would destroy your career. Imagine if the public saw you as you are now.
All Might : "No...I...no...I didn't know...I didn't mean to..."
Spoiler cackled.
Spoiler : "What's wrong All Might? Where did your smile go? Come on. The Symbol of Peace? World's greatest hero? You can't even save a helpless child who was in front of you.
Eraserhead also stared in shock at the site in front of him. His eyes flashed with a mixture of rage and sadness.
Eraserhead : "You're despicable. You are insane. You are the most vilest of villains!"
Spoiler : "Heeheeheehee. Flattery will get you no where, darling. HAHAHAHA!"
All Might sank to his knees. Tears were sliding down the sides of his cheeks, mixing together with the blood still on his face. He looked at his hand, coated in blood that he now knew wasn't his own.
Spoiler : "Now All Might. Imagine what Nana Shimura would say to you if she was still alive today. Can you imagine the disappointment? The rage? The utter loathing? You allowed her grandson to be kidnapped and raised by the enemy you failed to eliminate. And now look...you have even caused another child like hers to suffer not only at the hands of a villain, but also your own. And now that poor child is dead..."
All Might heaved in a deep breath as he now gripped the bloody dirt he was kneeling on. The sparks in his eyes seemed to dim. The light from the flame of One for All seemed to flicker.
All Might let out a piercing cry.
Spoiler : "Heheheheh...Hahahahahaha..."
Spoiler then gave the maddest of laughs.
Spoiler : "AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!"
Spoiler suddenly sensed movement behind him.
??? : "LUNA TIJERAS!!!!
Spoiler : "Oh fu-"
Mirko had mounted Spoiler's head and used her powerful rabbit legs to rip it off. A fountain of sparks shot into the air along with arcs of electricity as she backflipped and smashed Spoiler's head into the ground, crushing it.
Eraserhead stopped himself from cheering.
Mirko quickly hopped over to the kid lay, gently removing him from what was left of the mechanical prison that was Spoiler. She lay him on the side. She then went over to All Might...
And slapped him.
All Might was knocked over onto his side. He held the side of his cheek and looked at Mirko in shock. Mirko yelled at him.
Mirko : "Stop your whining and pull yourself together, All Might! The kid's still alive!!!"
A spark of hope flicked in the darkness. All Might stared at Mirko.
All Might : "What?"
Eraserhead : "What?!"
Mirko flicked long her hair to the side.
Mirko : "I said the kid is still alive! Your attack didn't kill him, but it for sure put him on that track. I can still hear his heart beating, but it's really weak and slow. If you are fast enough, you could get him to a hospital in time!"
All Might's eyes shone as he looked at Mirko like she was an angel sent from the heavens. His river of strength seemed to return like it had been held back for years by a powerful dam. The flame of his power One For All burned bigger and brighter than ever.
All Might returned to his muscle form instantly, the wind around his body pressurized from the sudden inflation and popped like a gunshot. He stood up.
And smiled.
All Might : "Thank you very much!...er...what was your name?"
Mirko : "It's Mirko."
All Might put his hand on her shoulder.
All Might : "Thank you very much Mirko! You gave me hope."
Mirko sighed.
Mirko : "Yeah, yeah. Just don't let a villain get in your head next time. You'll miss the important details."
All Might laughed.
All Might : "Your right! Hahahahaha!"
Mirko smiled as All Might passed her and picked up the child in his arms. He turned to face them.
All Might : "Eraserhead. Mirko. I'll leave the rest of the scene to you. Stay alert."
Eraserhead was also smiling, relieved by the news Mirko brought.
Eraserhead : "You got it."
Mirko nodded.
All Might smiled ever bigger.
All Might : "Farewell, till next time. And make sure to check your injuries. Goodbye!"
*BOOM!*
All Might jumped into the distance, leaving a crater and soaring over the forest and out of the mountain range. He was headed towards the city.
Mirko and Eraserhead watched him disappear from view, hearing more booms in the distance as All Might raced to save the boy.
Mirko sat on the ground.
Mirko : "Phew! That was intense."
Eraserhead : "Tell me about it."
Mirko cleaned the inside of one of her long ears with a finger.
Mirko : "So All Might's true form is a skinny old man, huh?"
Eraserhead froze. He totally forgot that Mirko didn't know All Might's secret, which he kept hidden from the world. Only revealing it to trusted individuals, less villains discover that the world's #1 hero was getting weaker.
Eraserhead : "Well *beep*."

[POV - All Might]
I raced to towards the city, now growing from just being small reflective stars on the horizon into small rectangles and squares. I leapt over the forest, hill, rivers and roadways.
I looked at the child in my arms.
Hang on kid. You'll be fine. I promise...
Because I Am Here!!!

[Author's notes]
Well that was crazy. I felt kind of bad that our mc was being so mean to All Might. But whatever. He had to roleplay as a evil supervillain (Nailed it!). I have something really important to tell you guys.
There's going to be another arc!
But what is it going to be?
How will Koto manage to escape from the predicament he is in? What about the one he is going to find himself in?
Holy crap! TWICE! How will he react when he hears that Koto nearly died fighting All Might?!
Oh no. What will the doctors think when they see Koto's tatoos? Oh no. Did I forget to mention that? Teehee....
...spoilers.
Oh wait! There's more! What if they found out that the kid is actually the villain? What if they put him in jail? Will they send him to Tartus, the prison for the worst of villains? What will be revealed about Koto when his doctors inspect his body? What will they find that I also forgot to mention?
Stay tuned.
Thank you for reading!
And here is theme music to give you guys warm and fuzzy feelings inside.
Get ready for the next chapter! And the next arc!
