Bab 45: A Fight?
__________ POV Narration__________
All for One didn't like the situation one bit. It had taken him a bit to realise that something was wrong, not being able to contact neither Kyudai nor Machia also didn't help his growing distress.
And, while Gigantomachia was replaceable, the same couldn't be said for the doctor Kudai Garaki or Daruma Ujiko. The man was a genius, one that he didn't like the idea of losing.
He still wasn't sure of their current states, but since he couldn't teleport either of them to him or contact them, he assumed they were deceased.
He was trembling in anger while sitting on his chair. Thinking of who might've been responsible for those things.
He had heard nothing about a Raid from his moles in between heroes or the police. So, he was left looking at the walls for a few minutes.
Until he quickly realised that his 'Dearest Student' was still supposed to be trying to take down Toshinori Yagi, he quickly teleported his student back to him.
Upon seeing his state, however, the whole picture just clicked together in his mind.
Who exactly would be capable to get through the defences he had prepared for Shigaraki in such a quick manner?
Well, not even the Symbol of Peace could've gone through both the Nomu sent and Beru. Which left him with only one explanation, Beru had defected.
He had seen the insectoid act more and more strangely in the past few months. Kurogiri made sure to report everything he saw to him.
Beru had gained at least a human level of intelligence, much like Kurogiri himself, but he had assumed he was just as loyal as before.
That assumption fell apart now, as Beru also appeared right near his student. It was infuriating to see him just brazenly show up like that.
But All for One also didn't know how Beru had even gotten there. He didn't remember trying to transport him too. But it seemed like he would have to face him now.
Even if All for One was not as strong as his prime, he still held the same pride.
His conversation with Beru made him even madder, the insect was even taunting him?
As he got up to face him he realised something quite concerning, he couldn't even see his pupil anymore.
Shigaraki was important to All for One as it was a way to make the Symbol of Peace despair even more. But he didn't know what method Beru had used to take him away.
Had he given Beru a teleportation quirk that he had forgotten about? That was unlikely.
Well, regardless, he was going to deal with the pest and then just call his student back.
It didn't matter what tricks Beru had up his sleeve, after all, All for One was confident of crushing all of them. He would make sure to teach the insect not to bear its teeth at him.
And while the fight was starting, Nezu was still contemplating his course of action.
He had wanted to let Beru take care of his own revenge, as he knew how strong the insectoid was from All Might.
But the issue complicated itself when the identity of the captor was revealed. All for One still being alive was not great news to the principal of UA.
He quickly started forming a team and informing all of the heroes in the province that something big was happening.
The police were already on the streets looking for the location of the fight to start the evacuation effort.
All Might had yet to be informed of what was happening. But he was in a weakened state right now, he wouldn't be of much help.
__________ POV Beru__________
All for One decided to open up the fight by extending his fingers in my direction.
The same move he had used to keep me down when I was a kid. Well, not going to work this time. I also have that move.
My fingers also turned black and extended to match his. They clashed in midair and entangled each other, neither gained any ground as he just stared at me.
"Hateful bug..." Well, he sure has more energy than I thought. It seems he still has the time to spout out kindergarten insults at me.
I tugged with my arm, also pulling him towards me as he prepared a punch. I guess he's not that bad. I also prepared a punch with my free hand, putting quite a bit of force into it.
Our fingers also quickly disentangled as our strikes met.
He had used the momentum I had given him to power up his strike, but mine was not any weaker.
*BANG*
The shockwave released broke the warehouse around us and pushed everything away as we were locked in a staring contest.
He quickly used air cannon on the punch, a move I could foresee as I already knew the telltale signs of that quirk's use.
I instantly used 'Impact Recoil' on my fist and he was pushed back by his own move. Sent flying and rotating in midair. He came to an abrupt stop as he also used a flying quirk that he likely has.
"Maybe you are a bit stronger than I expected..." Don't get over yourself, I'm just letting you get higher so your fall will be more despairful.
I can fill his body in cuts within seconds. But doing so would make this fight end quickly, something that I would find quite unsatisfactory.
"LeSs TalK~MoRE FiGHt~" Is all I said as I also unfurled my wings and dashed towards him.
He didn't really like my comment, but he was prepared to receive my kick anyway. I cut through the wind and brought my leg down on his head.
He raised both his arms in a cross as he used impact recoil. That mask of his seems to be quite important...
I was blasted backwards from the power of my own kick, I also rolled around in the air and broke my momentum, using my wings to stop myself completely and landing on a nearby office building.
While I was flying away, he already raised his arm and started charging up an air cannon.
I kicked off that building right back at him, breaking it apart in the process. I extended my claws and prepared to slash at him.
And, just as he released his air cannon, I dashed to the side. Dodging the stream of compressed air as it crashed into a building and destroyed it.
Then, I clawed at his extended arm, he hardened his skin using some quirk of his. But my claws still reached his muscles before he used another air cannon to push me away once more.
I feel a bit sad that I can't really see his face. But he should be growing a bit more distressed right about now.
The realisation that this isn't exactly going to be an easy fight should've set in. Evident by his lack of verbal taunts, he's trying to focus on defeating me first.
By now, I can also see the police evacuating as many people as possible. Some must've still been caught in the rubble though.
At this point though, most of the people that weren't already affected should've been evacuated. Heroes should be showing up to rescue the rest any second now too.
I stared at All for One, wondering how to make this more interesting for myself. His arm was already healed and he just looked at me.
He landed on the ground and started preparing for another attack. I mimicked his movements by also landing and staring at him, analysing the situation a bit.
He seemed to be combining strengthening quirks in one of his arms. I guess he wants to try and see how much I can handle?
Well, I can also pull off a combination like his. There's no quirk that he has and I don't, maybe a few exceptions, but physical enhancements aren't part of those.
At first, he mainly gave me physical enhancements. Wanting to see just how strong my body could grow. I also decided to combine all of them into one arm. Copying every single move of his.
But I also added Muscular's quirk, bulking up my arm to great proportions. Jagged bones sticking out of my exoskeleton the same way they stuck out of All for One's skin.
I enhanced my legs too, using muscular's quirk to bulk them up and combining it with more enhancing quirks.
This clash won't be a pleasant one for him. He will likely try to pull off some shit during it though.
Both of us dashed towards each other. Our punches meeting and creating a shockwave that shook the entire city. The buildings around us collapsed.
At first, neither of us was wining. Each one of us was winning and losing ground at a similar pace.
But, slowly, I outpowered him and started pushing him back seriously.
I also noticed that one of his legs was becoming much larger, almost like a balloon of muscles.
Each one of my steps cracked the ground while he tried to dig his feet into the concrete street.
Eventually, he raised his ballooned leg, completely losing any semblance of balance as my punch almost crushed his hand. The entire right side of his body was harmed by my fist.
But, from that raised leg, he released a powerful air cannon straight into my chest. Sending me flying backwards and crashing into quite a few buildings in the distance.
My punch, however, still dealt a lot more damage to him. He was sent flying in the same way I was, but he was also gravely injured.
Meanwhile, most of my injuries are already healed. The outcome of this fight is quite clear at this point...
I can also see that the News helicopters caught our last clash at least.
There are also quite a few heroes gathering at the scene. Some of them are familiar faces even...
