My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire

Hisashi stared at All Might as he straightened himself, his mind focused on ways to get out of here without engaging in a full on battle with the figure that was in front of him, but each idea ended in the same thing, him facing his foe and fighting it out for the public to see.

"I see you've changed, All For One... when did you sprout an industrial area around your neck? Wanna fill me in on the fancy mask that's over your face?" All Might remarked, speaking first, though it hardly mattered who spoke first, because he knew his foe was a smooth talker and had something up his sleeve for this very occasion, though at the same time he was a little worried, his opponent's power seemed to be on par with what it was during their last clash, "Are you sure that you aren't overexerting yourself?"

"You took my face clean off, All Might, this is what I must do to survive." Hisashi replied, he didn't even try to hide it, both he and All Might knew the mask allowed him to have a somewhat normal life, so it was a weakness his foe would be looking to smash, meaning he would be on the defensive to make sure this wasn't used against him, to which he turned to the side for a moment.

"I won't let you go, All For One, nor will I make the same mistakes I made during our last fight." All Might stated, something that caused Hisashi to turn towards him fully once more, while at the same time the muscular hero shifted his stance for a few seconds as he readied himself to throw another punch and bring down his foe, "I will take young Katsuki back, and then I'm going to throw you in the slammer, where you belong, before destroying the League that you've built!"

Hisashi sighed and let All Might leap into the air to attack him, no doubt to direct the damage of his attack into the ground, to which he tapped into his own arsenal of Quirks and selected Air Propulsion before linking Musculoskeletal Coiling, four of his Instantaneous Impacts, and three Physical Strength Application Quirks on top of it, allowing him to fire a burst of power that struck All Might and sent him into the air with a violent shudder.

"ALL MIGHT!" Katsuki shouted, because this was the first time he had seen someone other than Celestia do something like this to the No 1 hero, confirming in his mind that this was, in fact, the head of the League, someone that would wipe him out if he stepped out of line in the slightest.

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about him... that's more of a 'love tap' for someone like him." Hisashi said, because that attack wasn't designed to kill, mostly to give him a bit of time since Kurogiri was still in the area, though before he could even move he felt the wind shifting and raised his hands again, one catching the next incoming fist as All Might's power, limited as it was, shook and sundered the surrounding area, "You are a persistent bastard, though."

Sure enough Hisashi found that All Might was half focused on him and half focused on Katsuki, as Compress and Magne had shown up, no doubt following the hero that happened to be clashing with him, meaning that someone likely wanted Katsuki since Tomura had been interested in claiming the boy for his dark and dangerous league. At the same time he knew that all of the others were unaware of the five individuals that were silently standing behind one of the walls that hadn't collapsed yet, one Hisashi instantly recognized as his own son, Izuku, while the other four were his classmates. He knew why his son was here, Izuku wanted to save Katsuki from the danger that was around the other boy, despite the fact that Katsuki bullied him for years on end, to the point that he was willing to risk his hero career for his former bully. Hisashi wasn't sure why the other four were with his son, since he thought they would be more interested in their own futures, but he soon realized that they were worried about their classmate, their friend, and weren't worried about what might happen to their futures, as if they were taking Stain's lessons to heart.

Hisashi also took a bit of pleasure in denying All Might access to Katsuki, since it was easy for him to grab the hero and just toss him into the rubble that his foe had ruined before, there was no reason to ruin more of the city, though at the same time he was hoping Izuku got out of here before something terrible happened to him.

As he thought about that, however, he detected movement with his sensory Quirks and found that Izuku was getting ready to do something, as he, Tenya, and Eijiro formed a trio with two providing the force and speed while the third used his hard body to smash through the unbroken wall. In the next moment Shoto used his ice to make a ramp that allowed them to sail above the battlefield, a tall spike of ice that was designed to last for a few seconds and collapse once the trio was high in the air, once again demonstrating how talented Izuku was in weaving the abilities of Quirks together like this. For the most part it looked like Momo, the fifth member of the group, had nothing to offer them, so Hisashi observed the scene that was going on right now as the trio soared into the air above their heads. In the following seconds Eijiro called out for Katsuki to take his hand and, sure enough, the explosive boy rocketed into the air with his explosions, clasped the red haired boy's hand, and seemed to let them carry him off, while Shoto and Momo retreated as well.

"That's my boy." Hisashi remarked, as there was no helping how he felt right now, he was proud of Izuku being able to see that this wasn't a place he should be in and also find an opening that allowed them to rescue their target, without getting involved in the battle at all, meaning he didn't have to worry about endangering his son anymore.

"I'll be damned, I never thought he'd be here or that he'd do something like this." All Might stated, though he found that his next punch was blocked by All For One, while at the same time the two villains that were left hightailed it out of here as well, leaving him and the heroes that had been knocked out by his foe's attack when they found his hideout, but that was when he found that Gran Torino bounced around the area as well.

"My apologies, Gran Torino, but I need you to cease your constant moving." Hisashi said, tapping into two more Quirks for a moment, Transport, which was a black goo type of Quirk that moved someone from one point to another, usually to him as he had discovered upon practicing with the Quirk, and Impact Inversion, as he forced Gran Torino to warp in front of the next attack All Might delivered, returning the full force of the attack into All Might's arm and knocked him backward.

"You bastard! I'll make you pay for that." All Might remarked, focusing more on Hisashi and less on the fact that he punched his own teacher in the side of the face, though while the damage had been reflected into All Might's arm this did cause some pain to Gran Torino, meaning he'd lose a bit of his speed for a time.

"Funny, I should be the one calling you 'bastard', All Might, for I loathe and despise you with all my heart." Hisashi stated, as this was one of the rare moments where he let his emotions get the better of him, he just couldn't help but feel hatred for the hero that was in front of him, both for the injury he had suffered and the things he lost after their last clash, "You went and crushed every ally I had, the like minded individuals that wanted to make a better world for everyone, labeled me as the 'Dark Lord' with you as the 'Symbol of Peace', and stole from me far more than you could ever possibly know. That view from your vista must be nice, All Might, considering that you made it with the bodies of true villains and the innocents you have condemned over the years."

Sure enough his words ticked off his foe as All Might directed a Detroit Smash at him, while grabbing Gran Torino to get him out of the way, causing Hisashi to fire off an Air Propulsion combination right into the heart of the attack, the two cancelling each other out instantly while tearing the left sleeve of his suit.

"Shut up! This is how you toy with your opponents, saying things to get in their heads!" All Might remarked, where Hisashi found that All Might grabbed his left arm before he had a chance to back off, though he knew that using any of his Quirks to flee would be impossible, because knowing All Might another attack was coming and Hisashi ran through the Quirks he had that might minimize the damage, "You destroy people, you rob them, you trick, use, and dominate others, all while sneering at them from your safe vantage point, as if their lives mean nothing to you! I will NEVER allow such evil to exist!"

In the next few seconds the punch came, All Might shattered the front and side of Hisashi's helmet like it was nothing, which was easy since his brute strength was far greater than most metals, and it ended with him in the ground with All Might just standing over him, his body starting to deflate as his time limit was upon him.

"You know, you aren't original at all... I heard all of those accusations from your predecessor, Nana Shimura." Hisashi said, which was a true fact, in fact all of the Users for One For All, from the Second to the Eighth, save for the Fourth since that one had chosen to hide from him, had said roughly the same thing when it came time for him to fight them, while the First, his own brother, had never said such a thing, though his brother did stand up for his own morals, "I will be honest, All Might, I have mixed feelings about your predecessor, as Nana was a woman without any real talent or skill... she hardly did anything with One For All save hide it until you received it... but her ideals were definitely interesting and would have been better suited for a school or something."

"You... keep my master's name out of your filthy goddamn mouth, you bastard!" All Might remarked, though in the very next moment he discovered two things, the first being that the other person, All For One's second as that was how he saw the black mist figure, was gone, while the second thing was that his foe stuck him in the chest with the same combination attack while his guard was down.

Hisashi coughed for a moment as he propelled All Might into the air, this time dealing damage while making him bleed, and he also discovered that there were news helicopters in the area, meaning they were investigating the damage done to the city, which would be blamed on him, and broadcasting their battle to everyone.

"Tell me, All Might, do you remember the 'villains' you 'fought' six years ago? That group that 'attacked you'?" Hisashi asked, speaking as he stood up while Gran Torino brought All Might back down to the ground, to hide his shrunken bits from the people that were now watching them, and yet he could feel those reporters with dying to hear everything that was going on right now, "Allow me to shed some light on who they were: none of them were 'villains'. Many of them were outcasts, driven to desperation because of how society viewed them, where some wanted nothing to do with their Quirks, some wanted new ones that fit their bodies better, others wanted something to help them protect the ones they loved, and others wanted to be Quirkless so they wouldn't be disowned by their families. All I was doing that night was visiting them to offer my services in helping them gain the lives they wanted... they approached you to stop you from hauling me to jail, because all I was doing at the time was walking, minding my own business, and you attacked me while I was being an ordinary citizen."

"Shut up! They were villains, aiding the greatest villain of them all, and got what they deserved!" All might replied, he really couldn't help it, whenever All For One talked part of him replied in some manner, and even when Gran Torino told him not to respond he still did it anyway, which was why his body was so damaged.

Hisashi readied his left arm again, charging up the Air Propulsion combo attack again, but as Gran Torino dodged, and he started to fire off his attack, he sensed movement in the rubble that was behind All Might and realized someone was inside the rubble, and yet, true to form, All Might stood in the way and punched his attack, splitting it in half while saving the lady in the process.

"And there it is: the death of your image." Hisashi remarked, because the usage of that punch deflated All Might entirely, he was back to being a skinny figure that looked like he was on the verge of death by starving, his buff form was gone, entirely and utterly, and based on what he was feeling it sure felt like All Might's 'embers' were nearly out.

"It... does not matter how much of my true form you expose, or how much of me is withered away, for my heart is still the heart of the Symbol of Peace!" Toshinori stated, standing tall and proud like always, because he knew that he needed to beat All For One here and now, before the Dark Lord escaped to continue his dark deeds, and he clenched his fist to show those that were watching that he was still fighting, "You won't be able to steal a piece of my heart!"

"Is that so? Then how about this: Tomura Shigaraki is Nana's grandson." Hisashi said, where he could practically hear the record coming to a halt, the brakes in his foe's head were being applied, and he could hear the pitiful wailing as Toshinori realized how messed up everything was, because he knew there were a few things Hisashi kept as the truth and this, as hard as it was to accept, he knew to be the terrible truth, and Hisashi was glad to see that it stole his foe's smile.

He would have said more on the matter, for there was a lot more he wanted to say to torture his foe, but he detected more movement in the surrounding area and braced himself for whoever was coming, all while continuing to think of a way to get out of here before he was knocked out.

"What the hell... What the HELL IS WITH THAT BODY, ALL MIGHT?!" Endeavor shouted, where Hisashi found that Endeavor, Edge Shot, and the rest of the still active heroes were now standing around the arena they were in, many of them had their gazes focused solely on Hisashi and no one else, while the No 2 was focused on Toshinori, on the small back that he was now staring at.

Hisashi started to turn for a moment, because with the sudden arrival of the other heroes he knew that fighting would only extend his time in this place, even though some of them were focused on saving the civilians while Endeavor and Edge Shot went on the offensive, causing him to repel them by force with Air Propulsion, all while allowing All Might to get closer, even if his foe only had a single buff arm right now.

"You know, our clash has allowed me to confirm something... you no longer have One For All. You've already passed it on, giving it to Izuku Midoriya, my own son." Hisashi remarked, where he sensed the confusion that was coming from his foe, it was far too easy for him to tell that All Might clearly believed that he was lying, this was a truth he couldn't accept, one that he would never be able to accept no matter what information Hisashi threw at his foe, and he let out a frustrated sigh as he stood there, "Oh how I despise you, All Might... giving my son the Quirk I've been trying to recover, but more than that you're a terrible teacher, you've let him break his bones and shatter his body with little to no training on how to wield my brother's Quirk. Do you even realize how close you've come to completely ruining Izuku's life? You're lucky he has such wonderful sisters to watch over him and help him when he stumbles..."

"SHUT UP!" All Might stated, where he swung his fist at All For One once more, though this time he found that his opponent added a few more Quirks on top of the combo he had been using previously, what seemed to be another of the Physical Strength Application Quirk, along with a Rivet Quirk that added some additional strength to his attack, "I've had enough of your lies! And yet, there is some truth... I am a terrible teacher, but still I must be there to scold Izuku when he makes his mistakes, and praise him when he walks the right path!"

Hisashi found that the impact of their attacks sundered the surrounding area, collapsing the rubble while the force of their blows knocked the rest of the heroes backwards, and yet, at the same time, All Might found some hidden strength to make his left arm muscular again as Hisashi was punched in the right side of the face. In that moment he understood what he had missed, All Might actually used his own right arm as a decoy, allowing it to be ravaged and wrecked, while transferring all of his power into his left arm, even though it was an incredibly weak blow. As he thought about that, however, he felt the shift in the wind as Hisashi realized that All Might had actually learned something from Izuku, how to be tricky, because he made sure to transfer the power back into his damaged right arm and enlarged it again. There was a hole in his defenses, he could see that now, meaning there was a chance that he was about to suffer All Might's United States of Smash, which would just break everything around him if it connected, and sadly it was going to connect no matter what.

As he thought about that, however, he felt the air diagonally behind him shift and found a burst of flames rushing around his body, obscuring most of his form from All Might's sight, as two serpents emerged, one wrapped around him while the other formed a barrier in front of him. In that moment many things ran through his mind as Hisashi realized what was going on, as the fire was actually just the power of Katsuki's Explosion Quirk, one Selene had copied years ago, directed to the right and left sides of his body as more of a distraction and less of an attack. Thanks to that there was a cloud of smoke blocking his foe's sight, thus allowing the serpent around his chest to pull Hisashi through the gate that had opened, one that wasn't one of Kurogiri's despite being of the same type of material, before he landed on a cushion or couch as the second serpent came through the gate. After that the gate slammed shut, where he realized that the smoke was designed to make sure All Might was unable to see what was happening, so his United States of Smash would collide with the ground and ruin everything in the surrounding area, leading everyone to assume that he was dead or gone.

Hisashi laid there for a moment, letting his adrenaline fade, before he felt someone move nearby and activated his sensory Quirks without delay, though what he saw caused him to pause for a moment, because he wasn't expecting such a thing to happen and was just caught completely off guard.

"Dad... it's okay, you're safe now." Selene said, where she huffed for a moment as she brushed off the sweat that was on her forehead, because constantly trying to open one of Kurogiri's portals had stained her more than she was willing to admit, as she had no training in using such a Quirk, and once she figured it out she had forced herself to open another one right into the battlefield.

"Where..?" Hisashi started to ask, before he felt a warm sensation wash over his body and discovered that Selene wasn't the only one in the area, as he detected Toya and Toga standing nearby, where he had to assume that this was Toya's place, but that was followed by him noticing who was right in front of him, causing him to deactivate the voice feature of the ruined mask he was still wearing, "Celestia?!"

"Father... just relax, you've been through a rough time." Celestia stated, gently allowing her healing power to wash over the form that was in front of her, focusing on his face as she recognized the unaltered voice, it was definitely their father, even if his face was missing everything she was used to seeing, "Please, don't be mad at Selene... she told me everything, though I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around everything."

Hisashi gently shook his head, he wasn't annoyed or angry with Selene, far from it since the sisters were working together to save him, he suspected that Celestia must have healed her sister as well while Selene was trying to open the gate, and found that the glorious healing power did something amazing, the darkness he was used to faded as he gained the ability to see once more.

"Selene. Celestia." Hisashi said, tears in his eyes, something he had assumed he would have gone without since he assumed it would be a long time before Celestia would have the power to heal like this, before he wrapped his arms around his girls and embraced them, because it had been a long time since he was able to do this and he was taking advantage of it, before he glanced at Toya.

"Don't. I can wait for Celestia to finish healing you... you guys deserve it more than I do." Toya replied, though this was also a surprise for him, he had no idea that he was hanging out with his boss' daughter, which put a whole new perspective on the entire situation, but at the same time Toya was fine with this, as he wasn't about to make Celestia choose between him and her father.

Hisashi nodded as he remained there, hugging his daughters for a time, deciding not to worry about what the coming days had in store for him, he was focused on the here and now, with two of his three precious lights, and could only hope that when he was healed he could head home at long last, but that was a worry for later.
