Izuku opened his eyes, he felt weightless as he floated above a cracked, broken skeleton. He couldn't tell who it was, but he could feel it... He could feel One For All radiating from it. It felt stronger than it was when he had it. If he had to make it simple, it was almost a hundred and twenty-eight times stronger than when he had it. Through that logic, whoever this long-dead man was, he had to be the seventh user after him. It made his sad to feel it's power in this skeleton. It means that the lineage of One For All has come to an end.

"I-Izuku?" The once UA student looked towards the voice and found someone he never thought he'd see again. His blond hair hung loosely over his shoulders and his skinny build almost made him look unimpressive if no one knew who he was.

"All Might?" Izuku's eyes began to water and tears rolling down his face. He felt like he was in UA again, he remembered how at the beginning how he'd tear up at almost anything. Some were of tears of pain, some tears of happiness, others were of sadness, but these were one of joy. He had been at All Might's funeral, all of class 1A was and most of the world too. He had never cried that hard in his life, it hurt more than when he heard he was quirkless.

"It's so good to see you again, Izuku." All Might hugged his student as he cried. Izuku looked much older than the predecessor remembered. He looked much older as if he was in his early twenties. "I told you young Midoriya that you can call me by my name, Toshinori Yagi." The young man nodded as they stayed that way for a good few minutes.

"Who's this?" They look over and see a woman who was taller than All Might in his non-muscle form.

"N-Nana Shimura?" Toshinori said as he looked over at the woman, her smile was a reminder of a time before he had died. He still remembered, but he didn't know what was happening.

"Glad to see you again Toshinori." She gave a short wave before she looked at the young man standing beside him, his eyes filled with awe and childlike wonder. "Who's this?" She looked over the Midoriya, his eyes widen As he pointed to himself. "Yes. Who are you?"

"He's Izuku Midoriya, the Ninth user of One for all." All Might look over to the skeleton and felt the same power. "But I don't know who this is."

"I do." The two heroes looked at the green-haired man as he tried to run a hand over the skeleton and it passed through. "He's the sixteenth user of one for all." The reality of what he said hit them, they were truly long dead and the One For All quirk lineage finally came to an end.

"Is this truly it?" All Might said as he looked at the skeleton. "Is this what we will do for the rest of eternity? We're all dead, long gone and our power has faded. Are we all that remains of One For All?" A bright light filled their vision as an entity of unknown origin appeared before them.

"No, I awoke you for a reason." They turned to the voice as Izuku activated his Blackwhip quirk as the light faded. Standing there was an equine almost twelve feet tall and in a golden dress. "Your wills were what has been keeping this power from fading in strength. Though centuries may have passed and quirks are forgotten, this is the only one to remain." The stood there as this entity walked closer to them. "Your wills will be enough to give the power to another successor. I will help your power be known in a different universe if you allow me to use this One For All user as my champion for the world of my creation."

The previous users looked at one another before looking back at the equine suspiciously. "Why do you need them?" Izuku asked, taking the initiative to ask her before his teacher and predecessor.

The equine looked away, an expression of shame on her face as she tried to avoid eye contact. "In my hurry to revive your collective consciousness, I accidentally revived a different group... The League of Villians." Izuku stiffened after hearing that. He wanted to tell at her, but he knew that wouldn't solve anything.

"You want them to fix your mistake?" Izuku wanted to make sure he understood everything before he decided how he would respond.

"I have to apologize, but I can't directly interact with the world after I was sealed away with Cuncta and Ruina, and we pooled our magic together to let Cuncta find a worthy successor for One For All. She's actually doing it as we speak." The heroes understood, but something was on Izuku's mind and it would be an important question that would influence the three heroes' decisions.

"How desperately does this world need One For All?" The equine looked at him, her eyes showing despite need and sadness.

"They needed it yesterday." The term was familiar to the three heroes. This world needed One For All now.

"We'll help in any way you can," Nana said as she stepped forward to where Midoriya was. The two had determined looks on their faces as Toshinori joined them.

"All you have to do is find someone worthy and that's it." They nodded and all they could feel is their bodies be untethered from the long-dead corpse and connect to a small piece pulled from it. It was the size of a grain of rice.

"Before we start our search, what's your name?" Toshinori asked as he looked at the equine, his blue eyes seemed to glow beyond the constant shadow covering them.

"My name is Faust." With that the appeared above ground in a world less technically advanced than theirs. "Anything you want to do before you look for your successor?" Faust looked at the trio they wanted to see what the world was like, but they didn't know how much time they had.

"There's no time." As if it was magic, he gradually became stronger or looked liked it. Muscles formed around him instantly and drastically changing what he looked like. "A planet needs a hero right." He stood to his full height, a smile appearing on his face as he glared at Faust. "Then we must act quickly, so they can fight this evil and declare..." He finished growing, a suit colored red, white, and blue formed around him along with a red cape. The shadow disappeared and he rose a fist, not to attack, but to make a statement.

"I AM HERE!!!"
