Commercial Area: 10 Hours before attack

Standing outside of a building, Izuku and Shirakumo noticed that it was a bar. "This is one of the locations?" Asked Izuku.

Shirakumo nodded, "Seems like it, although it does seem a bit out of place."

Izuku looked at the building, but found nothing that would stand out. "How so?"

Shirakumo nodded, "Look at the buildings surrounding it. Each one of them have power lines going into them. While this bar doesn't. So unless they have invisible wires, they are drawing power from something else."

"Let's go find out what's going on." Said Izuku as he pulled his mask down. "Follow in behind me."

Shirakumo nodded, with green lightning crackling around him Izuku took off towards the bar. Making it to the front door Izuku placed his hands on it and began to vibrate his hands. 'Just a bit more speed and I'll break through. This is just like at the….' Izuku tried to remember where he did this move before but couldn't. 'Was it the park? No that doesn't sound right. A warehouse? Oh God, I can't remember. Melissa better be where I think she'll be, I'm starting to lose more of my original memories.'

With a loud boom the door exploded open, seeing this happen Shirakumo rushed towards the building. At the same time Izuku rushed inside as the door and the debris looked as if it was in slow motion. Quickly looking around Izuku didn't find anyone.

Time then went back to normal as the door fell to the ground just as Shirakumo rushed in ready for a fight. "Don't bother, no one is here." Explained Izuku.

"Nothing? At all?" Asked Shirakumo. Izuku shook his head. "I'll look around, maybe there's something you missed. See if you can find anything that will help us out."

With that Izuku ran towards the other rooms checking them all for any useful information. His green lightning struck the walls as he ran by. Soon, he checked all the rooms again but found nothing useful. However, he did notice that one of the rooms had been used recently.

With nothing else to go through Izuku went to find Shirakumo. He found him standing behind the bar moving around some bottles. "Now is not the time for a drink." Said Izuku.

"I'm not drinking. I think I found something." Explained Shirakumo. Izuku walked over but just found bottles of alcohol.

"I don't get it." Said Izuku. "It's just a wall of alcohol."

"You're a bit young so you wouldn't understand. These bottles are out of order. At small bars like these you want customers to see the top shelf stuff. No self respecting bar owner would keep a $10,000 bottle on the bottom shelf. All of these bottles are mixed up, so once you move them to their proper place." Grabbing the last bottle, Shirakumo placed it down.

As soon as he did, a loud clicking sound was heard. The two turned around to find the front of the bar where you serve the drinks was moving. The entire part was shifting to the left as it did it exposed steps leading down.

Once it had finished Izuku and Shirakumo looked at each other. "You don't think?" Asked Shirakumo.

"Only one way to find out." Said Izuku as he walked down the steps.

They soon found themselves underneath the bar, and what they found surprised them. The area was large, the same length as 10 football fields at least and 2 fields wide. All along the walls, in every possible place laid several pods filled with green mossy liquid. "What is all this?" Asked Izuku.

Walking over to one Shirakumo noticed something, "There's something inside of the pods."

Shirakumo went in to get a closer look when from the water a disfigured face popped up, scaring the hero. "What the hell!"

"What are those things? Are these the Nomus?" asked Izuku as he walked deeper into this place.

Finding a computer, Izuku went on it to see what he could find. Going through it he noticed that there were several files. Clicking on one of the folders Izuku noticed that it had a video. Appearing on the screen was a female doctor with a white lab coat. Behind her appeared a man with no shirt or clothes strapped to a medical bed, "Experiment 452, will now begin. The process of obtaining enough test subjects has been getting increasingly difficult and quality has been lackluster. But I have to make do with what my master gives me. Subject is in full restraints and serum will now be injected."

The doctor then pressed a button causing large needles to appear from the sides. They then stopped in front of the man before digging into various places in his body. One of them included a needle into the back of his head. Screaming out in pain the man let out cries for help, but the doctor just laughed and seemed to enjoy hearing him scream.

Pressing another button the doctor then forced injected the man with some sort of drug. Taking an immediate effect, the man suddenly began to convulse. The heart rate monitor attached to his chest began to beep as the man's heart rate skyrocketed.

Before long the man began to change. His once slightly tanned skin began to turn black with red streaks running down his arms and legs. Suddenly growing in height and weight the man collapsed the bed he was on due to sheer weight. "Yes! Come on! All I need is one viable test subject!"

Soon the man's face began to morph into something not human like. Slowly it turned into a more bird-like feature. Izuku's eyes widened when he saw this, "The monster, from the…" Izuku tried to remember the place but once again found himself unable to remember.

"Hey kid what's wrong? It looks like you've seen a ghost." Said Shirakumo.

Izuku took a deep breath, "I'm fine, it's just I've seen that creature before but I can't remember where."

"These are the Nomus. Those things look strong enough to take down All Might." Said Shirakumo. "Let's go, we didn't find him here. It was a long shot but at least we came out with some information."

Izuku turned to Shirakumo, "What about these things? We can't just leave them."

That's when Izuku saw Shirakumo pull out several C4 explosives from a cloud. "We won't. The yield is concentrated so there should be minimal damage to the surrounding buildings. Once I set them up, run us out of here."

Izuku nodded as Shirakumo began to place the charges. But as Izuku waited for him to be finished a tapping sound was heard. "What was that?"

Shirakumo stopped, "What was what?"

Izuku ran over to a wall, after a few seconds he heard the tapping again. "It's behind this wall. Hey, bring some of that C4."

Placing the C4 on the wall Izuku and Shirakumo took cover and with a click of a button a small explosion ripped through the underground compound.

Izuku ran into the room as the dust was settling and what he saw shocked him. "Shirakumo! Get in here now!"

Running in Shirakumo was ready for a fight but what he saw shocked him as well. "My god. You were right. He isn't dead."

There chained up against the wall, broken, bloody, and burned was All Might in his skinny form. Izuku quickly ran in and began to unhook All Might from his trap. Once free the once great hero fell, using his quirk Shirakumo created a cloud and caught the hero.

"What the hell did All For One do to him?" Asked Shirakumo.

"I don't know. But he needs help right now. Once we are out, blow this place up." Said Izuku as he watched the hero move on the cloud.

"Sorry, but I can't let you leave this place." Said a voice from the hole they came in. Standing in the hole was AFO.

Izuku and Shirakumo stood in shock as they were now face to face with the man who could destroy cities without even blinking. "Not after you found him. All Might's services are still needed."

Izuku could feel the darkness surrounding AFO. 'Just what the hell is he!?'

Shirakumo gritted his teeth, "Y-You, what did you do to him?"

AFO laughed, "Nothing much really. He had something I wanted so I decided to take it.

"His quirk." Answered Izuku.

"Yes, but unfortunately, I was misinformed. It turns out his quirk can't be forced upon another or taken. It must be given willingly, and well, that was never going to happen. So I went for the next best thing." Said AFO.

Shirakumo put it together, "The Nomu..."

"Precisely, each one of those Nomu's have been genetically modified to take on All Might himself. Analysing his DNA I was able to find weaknesses, weaknesses I would have never searched for. Now with an army of Nomu's with the power to destroy All Might, I can take over the world." Boasted AFO.

"W-Why are you telling us this?" Asked Shirakumo.

All For One grinned, "Simple, dead men tell no tale."

Raising his hand AFO caused Izuku and Shirakumo to flinch. That's when black tendrils shot out of the villain's fingers and headed towards the two.

Moving fast enough, Izuku managed to grab Shirakumo and move him out of the way. The black tendril stabbed into the ground. "Oh? Impressive, you managed to dodge my tendrils. The other heroes who found me before didn't do as well. Now that's a quirk worth taking."

Izuku smiled, "Sorry but I like my powers, so if you don't mind we'll be leaving." Grabbing Shirakumo, the cloud with All Might on it, and with green lightning jumping off of his body, Izuku took off towards the entrance.

He assumed that he was faster than AFO but that soon became untrue when a tendril appeared. Moving out of the way Izuku was going to dodge it when All For One moved his arm. This caused the tendril to change direction.

Izuku's eyes widened, 'He can track me! At these speeds?!'

Izuku jumped into the air but as he did the tendril managed to cut him across the thigh. With blood running down his leg Izuku stopped in the middle of the hallway surrounded by the tubes. "Maybe you aren't as fast as I thought," said AFO.

Izuku looked down at his leg, 'I'm slower. Something is wrong with my speed. I should be faster than this, much faster.'

"Now stay there while I kill you both." Said AFO, as his arm began to turn into a spring.

Not even giving him a chance to launch his attack, Izuku took off. He wasn't going to stay around and fight, he knew he couldn't win.

AFO smiled as the green trail of lightning left the room. Deactivating hai quirks AFO put his arm down, "They got away. Oh well, it's not like they can do anything to me anymore. This world will be mine, but first comes Japan."

Making it to UA Izuku put Shirakumo down, "We need to help him." Said Izuku as he looked at the cloud with All Might.

"Get him down to the bunker now!" Ordered Shirakumo.

Rushing towards the bunker Shirakumo began to work on the hero. But with his injuries the only thing that was for certain was, All Might was lucky to be alive.

After taking two hours to patch him up, Shirakumo let the hero rest. "How is he?" Asked Izuku.

"Alive, but weak. He won't be able to move for a while." Explained Shirakumo.

Izuku balled his first, "Then he can't fight, and if he can't fight…"

"Then we lose, All Might truly was the only one who could defeat him." Said Shirakumo. "Now what do we do?"

Izuku sighed, "The plan stays the same, we move once All For One attacks."

"Are you crazy!?" asked Shirakumo. "It's over kid, without All Might we don't stand a chance."

"It's not over yet." said Izuku as he turned to leave.

But as he did Shirakumo grabbed him by the shoulder and turned him around, "Listen kid, we gave it a try but it's over. AFO won even before he attacked."

Izuku threw off Shirakumo's hand, "It's not over! We are still here right!? As long as we're here then there's still hope, still a chance. I can't give up, I still have to find Melissa and fix what she broke."

Shirakumo's expression turned to one of anger, "You go towards the fighting, then what? You'll die without any plan!"

"I won't, my speed will help me." answered Izuku.

"Oh will it?" rushing towards Izuku, Shirakumo pulled his fist back and punched Izuku in the chest. It managed to send Izuku forward a few meters. Groaning in pain, Izuku got up and stared at Shirakumo, "Your speed isn't good if you can't fight properly. FYI, that was me holding back."

"I let you have that one." said Izuku.

Shirakumo scoffed, "You didn't let me have shit. I'm just better."

Without warning Izuku ran at Shirakumo in an effort to punch him. But seeing that Izuku was much slower, Shirakumo dodged using a cloud. The cloud blocked Izuku's view, as he tried to get it off of him Shirakumo had disappeared from his sight. "Up here kid."

Looking up Izuku found Shirakumo in the air, and before he could react Izuku was met by a powerful kick across the face. This caused Izuku to slam against the wall, "H-How?" asked Izuku as blood ran down his lip.

Shirakumo then stopped in front of him, "You may be fast, but your moves are too linear. Even a much slower opponent can predict your movements." then grabbing him by the costume Shirakumo picked up Izuku, "Think rationally kid, you can't win. It's over. I won't let you kill yourself over this."

With a stern look on his face Izuku vibrated his hand and moving it faster than Shirakumo could react he hit him in the chest. The speed and vibration caused the hero to fly across the room before slamming against the monitor. "I will do what I have to do. I get it, you've lost people, I have too, but people are waiting for me in another time, so I won't give up. If you aren't going to help me, then stay out of my way."

With that Izuku walked away but stopped half way, "If Aizawa was here, he wouldn't have given up this easily." In a flash of green Izuku took off, leaving Shirakumo to his thoughts.

Picking himself off the floor, Shirakumo cursed himself, "Damn it..."
