Chapter 98: Hideout Raid Arc (6)
~Ren Y. POV~
[2 Kilometers away, Kamino Ward, Yokohama, Japan]
*Swf*
*Tmp*
Exiting out from the portal, holding Best Jeanist healing him, he quickly asked professionally, "Ren Yuki, was that correct? Why have you come here to Kamino Ward in Yokohama City?"
Hearing his question with the sound of people's cries echoing in the area, I responded in a neutral tone, "I simply came purely by chance. I came here for peace of mind with a friend having a sleepover and some alone time."
He looked at me skeptical. Like he can figure out I came here purely to see everything goes according to canon or I must help.
And it's not like he can pin me, saying that I came here for this situation to happen. I made sure to have an alibi by dropping by an arcade and doing some shopping.
Even went to a restaurant to pass the time, keeping with me receipts from the mall, arcade, and restaurant. I needed to make sure the relevant authorities believed that my being at the scene of the crime was a mere coincidence.
Toga mentioning a sleepover just helps my cover. Man, having Nezu Quirk as a convenient excuse to interfere in justice like this has its moments.
*BOOOM*
Our eyes widened, seeing the combat between All Might and AFO had started. Best Jeanist manages to look at me and ask in a serious tone, "Ren Yuki, how far and how many portals can you create?"
I responded, eyeing the Pro Hero, still healing him with [Cellular Activation] and seeing his skin completion becoming better, "As far as I can, so long as I know the location. And the other Pros that were with you should be waking soon, a few kilometers away from us. Gang Orca already awake, busy evacuating the citizens."
Nodding at my words, trusting them, he responded in a serious tone, having been healed enough to stand on his own, "Good. I'm afraid to ask this of you, but you seem pretty much on the level… so I'm gonna ask you to help me evacuate the citizens. During a crisis, I can enlist aid from civilians like you."
Hearing that, I have my reason to stay around and fight if need be. But only if the situation calls for it as Best Jeanist began to direct the crowd of scared people hurrying to where AFO and All Might be fighting as I provided support getting everyone out of harm's way.
Hopefully, the big guy can handle AFO… but if push comes to shove, I'll interfere to save Japan's ass. This might be likely the case with the Quirk Amplification Device that AFO has on his breathing mask.
But it hinges on the blood sample I left on Best Jeanist. Using that weakness of the [Search] Quirk, I can land one surprise attack if All Might fail…
It's 50/50 if it works or not, but I'm hoping it doesn't lead to that. I'm just hoping the big guy can do it, and if not… then I'll rise to the challenge.

~Third POV~
[Destroyed Factory Warehouse, Kamino Ward, Yokohama, Japan]
From the resulting clash between the two, All Might with a knee down as All for One asked in a condescending tone, looking down on his nemesis, "It's about five kilometers from the bar to here… and it took you a whole 30 seconds to arrive after I sent the Nomu… You're losing it, All Might."
*Rmbl*
The rubble settled down as All Might spoke angrily but was levelheaded not to rush in blindly into the situation, his eyes blazing with fury, "So are you. But what's worse is using Master's grandson against me!"
With a roar, All Might unleashed his second fist, a punch so powerful it sent shockwaves through the air. The nearby windows shattered into shards of glass as the sheer force rippled outward…
*SMASH*
*SWOOOSH*
But once again, All for One caught All Might's fist, his strength still enough to rival the Symbol of Peace, tightening his grip around All Might's knuckles. He chuckled in a dark, playful tone, tilting his head, "So, you've found out, huh? I suppose that brat told you, didn't he? But then again, the look on your face pleases more on how you failed to save your Master's grandchild all that much sweeter."
*SWOOM*
All for One used his combined quirks as the hand holding All Might's fist expanded and enlarged, reshaping itself into a springlike limb. He unleashed a devastating attack, forcing All Might back and destroying multiple buildings in his wake.
*KRAK*
*BOOOOM*
Being launched into multiple buildings, All for One spoke up, testing the Quirks he combined for this battle in a neutral tone, "That's an [Air Cannon] + [Springlike Limbs], kinetically boosted by four and strength enhanced by 3. It's a fun little combination… but I wanted to add in a few more power-up type Quirks…"
*KERSLAM*
However, All Might arrived back in battle instantly after being thrown into multiple buildings, reeling his fist as he lunged at All for One in a determined tone, "I'm not gonna make the same mistake I did 5 years ago, All for One! I'm taking Tenko Shimura back! And this time, I'm smashing you into a prison cell! You and your little league of villains!!"
*BOOOM*
With a burst of speed, All Might be dashed toward All for One, delivering a powerful punch that caused the air to swirl around his fist from the sheer force of his strike. All for One raised his arm, catching All Might's punch in his massive hand.
*SWOOOSH*
The impact created a powerful gust of wind, but AFO, with many quirks, absorbed the shockwave into his body. His arm swelled grotesquely before transferring the energy to his other arm as he then retaliated throwing a punch back at All Might with double the strength.
*BAM*
All Might barely managed to cross his arms in time for defense, but the force of the blow still sent him crashing into a nearby building, leaving a crater in its walls. Pushing the rubble off him All Might rocketed toward AFO again.
*SMASH*
*BOOOOOM*
With a booming yell, he delivered a punch straight to AFO's midsection. The impact was catastrophic, sending shockwaves through the area, causing nearby buildings to tremble and windows to shatter.
AFO grunted from the force of the attack but managed to stick around. Swinging his enlarged arm towards All Might at the side he narrowly avoided the attack by leaping into the air before coming down with an overhead punch.
*BOOOM*
AFO caught All Might's fist with both hands, and the ground buckled beneath them from the immense power as he chuckled darkly, "You've recovered, All Might, but your strength isn't what it used to be!"
Straining against AFO's grip, All Might growled with a mighty roar, landing on the ground and crouching low as he pulled his fist back, "I may have weakened, but the strength I have now… is enough!! [TEXAS SMASH]!!"
Managing to free himself from AFO's grasp, All Might place a great deal of power into his fists and then throws a right punch with enough force that the wind pressure sends anything in its way flying away.
*SMASH*
*SWOOOOSH*
AFO has flown away but managed to grab ahold of himself using [Air Walk]. He glared hatefully at All Might before reaching to his helmet in a smug tone, getting All Might's attention, "Hmph! I only came here to rescue Tomura, but… if it's a fight you want, I'll humor you. But first, how about a small gift from your dear old friend David Shield created?"
*Click*
The helmet on AFO reacted as it changed, causing All Might to be stunned. AFO helmet changed into a sophisticated headset, empowering AFO greatly as he spoke in a confident tone, "Truly the Quirk Amplification Device truly does wonders for me. The brainchild of your friend invention in my hands – "
*SWOOOOSH*
All Might lunged, reeling his fist as he yelled back with the news chopper began to take footage of the fight, "AFO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO DAVE…!!!"
*DING*
But All Might's attack was briefly stopped by a glowing energy shield produced by AFO, admiring the device in a happy tone, "Truly, this device, despite being incomplete, grants me enough power I need to end you! [Air Cannon]."
*BOOOM*
*RMBL*
A simple [Air Cannon] was enough to push All Might down to the ground, causing a small tremor of the ground. All Might lay down on the crater with a trail of blood seeping from his lips and looked at AFO in shock.
AFO grinned behind the mask as he felt the quirks within him empowered without damaging him in the slightest as he spoke darkly, preparing his next strike, "There was a time when you went around taking out my allies right and left with those fists of yours. And they called you the symbol of peace because of it. You stood so tall atop all of our sacrifices? How was the view from up there?"
*BOOOOM*
Both lunged as the shockwave created from their clashes with AFO using his power-up Quirks and All Might with his [Detroit Smash]. The resulting clash leveled their surroundings, being tossed everywhere with AFO thinking to himself, 'He negated my attack with sheer force…'
*KRAK*
*SNAP*
All Might began to lose ground with his eyes widening, seeing AFO reel his other arm as he spoke in a dark tone, done playing around, "Let's put this fight to an end, All Might… let's put everything I got into this last punch. Or else everyone will die because of you, All Might… [Springlike Limbs], [Four Kinetic Boosters], [Three Strength Enhances], [Multiplier], [Hypertrophy], [Rivets], [Air Walk], [Spearlike Bones]. With the Quirk Amplification Device, I've already prepared to hit you with my ultimate quirk combination. Here it comes!"
Using [Ultimate Quirk Combination], AFO uses his Quirk to combine several other Quirks to greatly enhance his right arm and to provide additional mobility to reach his target with the enhanced limb.
All Might reacted quickly, putting his all to block AFO's attack as he roared out loud, pushing everything he had to block the attack, "NO!! FOR I AM HERE…!!! [UNITED STATES OF SMASH]!!!!!"
All Might unleashed his most powerful technique to stop the incoming attack AFO threw at him and the innocents behind him. The [United States of Smash] is a smash attack that concentrates all of One for All's remaining power into All Might's fist.
All Might delivers an incredibly powerful punch and smashes his target into the ground. The attack appears to compile the strength of All Might's other smash attacks into one spectacular move.
The impact of this smash is so strong that, upon striking AFO, the wind pressure created from its delivery left a massive crater in the ground and spawned a twister strong enough to carry nearby buildings.
*SWOOOOOSH*
The surge of power received was so powerful that All Might's damaged right arm was quickly restored to full strength, albeit only for a single blow. The dust settled to reveal both fighters exhausted, with All Might protecting the people fleeing from behind him but at a cost…
All Might had his arm mangled purple from bruising and his body badly damaged, taking a knee down. AFO stood back up, exhausted and concussed, dripping blood from his destroyed arm, leaving a stub… at first.
*BLUB*
To everyone's surprise, though, AFO regrew his entire arm, clearly having [Super Regeneration]. Stretching his new arm, feeling his hands as he spoke, eyeing the panting, tired All Might darkly, "Like I said, All Might… I only came here to save Tomura, but you insisted on fighting…"
*Swooosh*
Using a Telekinesis Quirk, he raised his hand towards the news chopper, pulling it into position, and with another wave, the dust cloud covering All Might's damaged figure in a booming voice shouted, "Let the world see! This is how your symbol of peace dies! On his knees!"
He grabbed All Might by his hair and raised his hand in a chopping motion. The reporter gasped, as did the viewers all across the city and likely the country of Japan all held their breath in fear of what was to come.
Everyone began to pray or yell, telling All Might to get back up and defeat the villain like always unfortunately, despite All Might grasping his arm over AFO's grip, the Symbol of Peace refused till the bitter end, gritting his teeth and trying to grasp what little power, he has, "I… refuse… to… die…"
Despite his struggles, AFO sneered under his helmet, readying his hand. And it fell like an executioner's blade as the world seemed to come to a standstill as AFO announced, "This is the end All – ACK?!"
*SMASH*
*SWOOOOOSH*
But emerging seemingly from out of nowhere through a portal that appeared instantly, a fist clads in a color red gauntlet covered with blue energy tendrils smashed AFO in the face, interrupting the execution of All Might as an angry voice rang out, revealing to be Ren, "Oi! Did you forget about someone!!!"
Slugging AFO in his moment, Ren managed to surprise the villain through his genuinely shocked expression, as AFO thought, stunned, 'What…?! I thought he was with the other heroes with [Search] how did he surprise me!!'
Ren smirked, seeing AFO's confusion and surprised expression on his body language, reading it with his [Language Comprehension] as he thought in a confident tone, 'So he can still be tricked. He only senses the blood sample I left on Best Jeanist relying on [Search] the same way how Deku tricked Tomura. Time for a little payback.'
*BOOOOOM*
In the blink of an eye, the AFO hand that grabbed onto All Might before was suddenly blown off entirely. A flash of light trailed at the destruction of the villain's hand, seemingly taking him by surprise of the [Railgun].
*Thud*
Landing near the damaged All Might, he was surprised to see his student he exclaimed in a surprised tone, "Young Yuki! I thought I told you to get away! Don't you know – "
That was when he spoke in a stern tone, helping All Might using his [Cellular Activation] healing him the best he could, "Because who would be here to save you!!! It's a hero's job to save those in need, no matter what, right?!"
He was stunned as AFO paused, feeling the power of the attack. He stopped slowly, gazing at Ren under a new light in the realization of his Quirk reacting to his presence, "That power just now… this feeling… YOU! YOU ARE ALL MIGHT SUCCESSOR – ACK!!"
*Swf*
*BOOOOM*
*BOOOOOM*
*BOOOOOOM*
Multiple portals opened from [Wormhole] as each of them unleashed from the other end clones using the [Railgun] skill barraging at AFO. Each blast took a chunk off his flesh but, at the same time, regenerated from his half-destroyed chest and lower body.
Ren scowled, seeing the kill move [Railgun] wasn't having a major effect as he thought seriously, 'Fuck…!! That Quirk Amplification Device is supercharging his [Super Regeneration] Quirk! Even with [Negation], I'm aiming to put down his [AFO] Quirk already, but his fucking powering through…'
The news of All Might's successor being heard left a complete shock to people from all over Japan, but Ren frowned, seeing his attacks are connecting hard enough. And each time he aimed for the head, AFO Telekinesis-Quirk would tilt the [Railgun] coins out of harm's way only for Ren to counter with [Wormhole] leading the attack out of harm's way.
If Ren could, he would've continuously bombarded AFO with [Railguns] all around him, but his PP Bar said otherwise, overusing his skills and the fact he needs this old monster alive in the future.
All Might flinched at the news but thought, seeing the situation in a serious tone, 'Ren… I haven't been a good instructor. But… I can't fail just yet. Not till AFO is dealt with here and now…!!'
Soon, All Might merely chuckles, having regained some strength and inspiration, as he replies in a helpless tone, "Hahaha… You make a good point. And it looks like I'm in quite a bind without you. Will you lend me your aid once more, Young Yuki?"
Ren replies, helping All Might up in a proud tone, "Yes, sir!"
*Bzzz*
Having [Full Cowl] active, AFO stares at the two One for All users as Ren muttered out loud with a serious expression, muttering silently in a whisper, catching AFO's attention with a serious expression, finding the newest OFA user after the barrage settles down, "Whew, time to go all out… [One for All: 100%]."
*Zzzz*
Activating the full power of [OFA], blue sparks danced around Ren. His hair grew more vibrant blue, showing off blue color as his eyes overflowed with the power of [OFA] red lines forming across his power as All Might said in a determined tone, "Let's go! Please help me in defeating this villain!!"
Ren nodded with a curt response, "Yes sir!"
*BOOOOOM*
The mentor and protégé stood side by side as they faced AFO, who was raising his hands at the duo launching [Air Cannons] at them as AFO spoke in a stern tone, "There's no way you both would stop me. You're an insignificant pest! And you don't know when to lie down and be crushed!!"
Ren's body glowed, and a beat later, the two of them shot off to the villain, brushing the [Air Cannon] attacks off as everyone in Japan witnessed the scene with bated breath. Ren spoke up, countering the [Air Cannon] with a gust of wind from his fist in a serious tone, "You're the one who doesn't know he's beaten!"
*FWP*
That was when AFO was suddenly caught in the string by his clothing. His eyes dart towards Best Jeanist, with the other Pro Heroes yelling in a determined tone, "I won't let you stop them!! We're heroes too!!!"
Everyone who saw this moment watching from the sidelines or at home looked at the successor of All Might Ren Yuki. At first, they could see him move, but in the next moment, he vanished from their sight, turning into a streak of light.
*Brrr*
Fire and sparks tailed behind his blue lightning. A cone of fire was in front of him as he shot through with AFO using his Telekinesis Quirk in a defiant tone, "I won't be defeated by the likes of you! Not like this!!"
*RMBL*
Blitzing through AFO attacks using the nearby rubble as he maintained himself in the air, levitating with [Air Walk], he continued to struggle. AFO roared, lifted rubble and building with his Telekinesis Quirk, and threw it straight at All Might and Ren.
*BAM*
However, Mt. Lady, using her Quirk to grow, swatted her fist, destroying the rubble and aiming at the two, "Not on our watch!!"
*SCREEE*
A sonic-based attack from Gang Orca forced AFO to cough blood and bleed through the ears, yelling at the duo in a determined tone, "GO AND FINISH HIM OFF!!!!"
Both the mentor and protege glanced at the approaching destroyed building, and as if they'd done this multiple times, the two cocked their fist at the same time. They clenched their fist as hard as they can…
When they were about to meet the large, destroyed building, they immediately threw a punch in unison and yelled out loud in a determined tone, "[DOUBLE DETROIT SMAAASSHHH]!!!!"
*BOOOOOOM*
A blinding light erupted from their clash as both pierced right through the crumbling building debris, blasting it to bits. Following the shockwave that destroyed any rubble that would've come to harm the innocent, all saw their might as one.
Both immediately shot off above AFO and prepared to fire off a powerful smash once again with smiles on their face. AFO, using his remaining power, broke free from his restraints, unleashing his [Ultimate Quirk Combination] on his arm as he rushed in defiantly, "No! This is over!!!"
*SWOOOOSH*
AFO rushes in, using all his Quirks to enhance him as the Quirk Amplification Device on his head cracked, destroyed by empowering too many Quirks for the final attack. And yet both All Might and Ren recklessly charged in as they thought in a determined tone, 'To overcome the crisis in front of you. By giving everything you've got. And save people. No matter the cost. That's what makes someone… a hero!'
All Might coughed up a mouthful of blood but continued forward as AFO aimed to end everything in one attack. All Might, reeling his fist, spoke out loud, "Push through every obstacle…!"
Ren's Full Gauntlet showed signs of being destroyed but still showed a sly grin on his face, piggybacking off All Might's sentence, "To go beyond…!!!"
*SHIII*
At that moment, both unleashed what was currently possible, the full might of [OFA], and the two released a bright light with myriads of colors as they flickered towards AFO, shouting in disbelief, "I-Impossible…!! A Quirk Awakening – "
*KABOOOOOM*
*SWOOOOOOOSH*
With their combined might of two One for All users pushing their all. This resulted in AFO's final attack being futile as they easily overpowered AFO, causing a massive explosion that shook the entire area as they yelled, "PLUS ULTRA!!!"
*SPLAT*
Both their fists scar AFO's face further as they slam him down to earth, resulting in his blood being sprayed down in the crater. Then, the attack creates a twister so powerful it sways the news helicopter and carries nearby buildings through the air, creating a shockwave that forces everyone away, leaving AFO badly beaten and unconscious.
Both looked seemingly exhausted as they slowly raised their arm into the air as the other heroes from the bar arrived, seeing the situation. The reporter in the camera chopper yelled out, announcing their victory in a happy tone, "The villain… is out cold! He won!! They won!!! They really won!! They're standing for All Might, the Symbol of Peace, and his successor, his student… wooooon!!!"
Despite winning and other Pro Heroes arriving at the scene helping people, both sighed as they muttered silently with worried expressions for different concerns, "Fuck… Nezu/Toga is gonna kill me for this…"
It was at that moment Ren gained a new title as he checked the screen. He could only flinch lightly seeing the title description.
[Title: Future No.1
Description: A title earned that rallies people to see the true number 1 hero in the making for the whole world to see! When equipped with this title, you gain the passive skill [Heroic Aura], allowing you to have a charismatic aura encouraging your allies in the darkest times while depressing the villains in utter terror!]
*BEEP*
But both paled, seeing their phone numbers ringing. They each picked it up to see revealed one from Toga and Nezu as they both thought equally fucked, 'FUCKKKKKK...!!!!'

A/N: Just one more chapter left before the Hideout Raid Arc is completely done. I wanted to ask if you guys liked this chapter or not.
I wanted to show and put some effort into the other heroes helping along with the MC finally arriving at the critical moment. Hopefully, you guys liked the ending for this, similar to how the Two Heroes movie played out at the end in this case.
