21 Lollapalooza

Play: One Winged Angel[ff7] (A/N: It's up to you)

As the explosion rang out, a cloud of dust followed it. Everyone grew tensed as they all knew something like that won't be enough.

Sure enough, a few more moments passed as the dust cleared, nothing was there but then they suddenly heard screaming coming from their sides.

*Urg!* *Kurk!* *Argh!!*

They looked on and saw three heroes being sent through the air. Fellow heroes quickly took action and caught those three but they noticed they were already knocked out.

They looked at their previous spot and sure enough, Kira was still there in his boxing stance.

They all unconsciously gulped in his speed then they bravely charged ahead but in a blink of an eye, he disappeared again from their view.

They stopped and looked around and like they were expecting it again, heroes were sent to the air but this time they were five of them all knocked out cold before they could touch the ground and in their previous spot, Kira was standing there now.

"Tsk, We need Quirks that can hinder his speed or at least keep up with him!!" Hawk yelled out loud as he sent his feathers again towards him.

Just as he expected, Kira turned to him as Kira let those attacks go through him again.

Heroes who heard him attacked Kira with their Quirks from all directions with Endeavor firing a huge blast of fire towards Kira.

*BOOOOM!!!*

As the explosion made from different attacks landed, they waited to see the damage they managed to deal him but as they watched anxiously, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from it.

*Inhale*

They all couldn't help sucked their breaths when they saw him walking through the explosion with no visible injury on him whatsoever.

"...Is this the best you could do?" Kira commented as he calmly walked through it as his red eyes glowed ominously while heroes from all sides looked at him in awe and anxiousness.

As the heroes looked at Kira, someone suddenly came in front of him with his right arm drawn back with Kira doing the exact same thing.

*BAM!!

Both of their fists clashed with one another creating a sonic boom in the air followed by fierce wind pressure.

All heroes couldn't help but gulp and step back a little at the power of those punches but despite that, both of them are still standing at the center with no one moving.

"...Hmm, you are strong… All Might," Kira muttered as he looked at the hero in front of him.

"Of Course!! Now! Prepare for your defeat Reaper!!" All Might replied as he brought out his other fist.

"Texas Smash!!" All Might yelled out as he punched Kira's face.

*Bam!*

The punch created another cloud of dust and wind pressure but this time, everyone near them was sent flying back, and the clouds in the night sky cleared up.

Everyone couldn't help grew sigh in relief as they just witnessed their #1 hero's attack hit Kira directly but as they saw All Might, they saw him no longer smiling like he usually does.

The top heroes grew more tensed as Endeavor is already charging and compressing his fire, Hawk's feathers are already in the air, ready to take aim at any moment, Mirko's muscles on her thighs are bulging in alert and the rest of Edgeshot's body were already converted to sharp-razor strings aiming at the center.

As the dust cleared out, they were all shocked just like All Might at the moment.

At the other end of his fist was Kira's hand gripping on it just a few centimeters away from his face.

"It looks like your injury is affecting you after all…" Kira lowly muttered as All Might heard him in shock and surprise.

Kira stepped back a few steps then brought his arm to his side then like magic, a red vial materialized in his hand. He suddenly threw it at All Might much to his confusion.

All Might caught it and looked at it then looked back to Kira in question.

"Drink it… I want to fight you in your best," Kira calmly stated as he waited for All Might to drink it but after a moment he was interrupted by a few red feathers going towards him from his back.

Kira narrowed his eyes in annoyance at this as he calmly used his bare hand to catch every feather coming towards him much to the shock and disbelief of everyone there.

Kira's red eyes glowed staring at Hawk's pale face then as he intended to crush the feathers in his hand when one fast razor-sharp string made its way to Kira's other side.

*Swoosh*

As it was about to hit him, Kira's other hand moved and miraculously held it between his fingers just inches from his head.

By now, every hero and people watching at home stared at Kira like he was a monster. He made it seem easy to catch everything coming towards him by hand.

Kira then leaned to his right just as Mirko's kick arrived from his back.

Mirko widened her eyes in surprise as she couldn't believe someone was able to evade her just like that without even looking at her.

At that moment she knew it herself, they were screwed as Kira effortlessly threw both Hawk's and Edgeshot's attacks to his sides then he caught Mirko's left arm and forcibly threw her back despite the speed she was going but before she could comprehend more, she felt her stomach just got hit a canon as she flew in the air.

Heroes that are in her flight path caught her carefully but they couldn't believe that they were dragged in as well until five more heroes stood their ground and stopped her.

They looked at Mirko and instantly they saw her pass out with her stomach portion of her costume, shredded as a fist-shaped bruise formed on it.

They all unconsciously gulped again as Mirko was famous for her speed and endurance but here she is, knocked out with one punch. They couldn't even comprehend the power behind that punch.

Meanwhile at Kira, as soon as he punched Mirko away, a beam-like stream of fire arrived at Kira's back but again they grew numb when they saw him turned around and held down his hand in front of him as it collided with Endeavor's fire.

*Boom!!*

The explosion rang out as smoke clouded their vision but as soon as it thinned out, they all couldn't believe what they were seeing, especially Endeavor.

Kira still stood there without any injury but this time they all knew it connected due to the scorch marks on the ground. It formed like a V-shape with Kira's position at the very front of it.

"I-IMPOSSIBLE!! (A/N: MASAKA!!)

"T-T-THIS CAN'T BE!!?"

"JUST HOW MANY QUIRKS THAT... THAT… MONSTER HAVE!?"

The heroes and the people watching on television felt numb in all of this as despair sets in their minds.

"Grrr! YOU THINK THAT MAKES YOU SOMEBODY! THEN EAT ANOTHER ONE OF THIS!!" Endeavor shouted in frustration as he brought out both of his arms aimed at Kira again then fired a stream of fire again but this time they all saw Kira disappear in a burst of speed and reappear in a kicking motion in the air in front of Endeavor's fiery face.

*Bam!*

*Kurk!*

Endeavor's face took the brunt of Kira's kick as it sent him flying.

Endeavor widened his eyes in surprise and agony but then before he could touch the ground he saw Kira's foot already at his stomach. When he saw this, he grew anxious as the foot stomped down at his stomach and he immediately felt all the air in his lungs just got sucked out of him as he felt the ground beneath him crack and embedded him.

Endeavor instantly puked out blood as soon as he regained his clarity.

Kira's red glowing eyes looked down indifferently at him but as soon as Endeavor looked at his eyes, he saw Kira's eyes widened for a moment then his eyes held this ominous light as he looked down on him like a bug needed to be squashed.

Endeavor's pride couldn't take Kira's contempt for him as he wanted to shout at him but before he could open his mouth, Kira cut him off.

"You bribed every journalist that wanted to expose your dirty laundry out in the public, you've beaten the mother of your child for the smallest of things then you let out all of your frustration to your 14-year old son for years," Kira said as every hero and people heard him much to Endeavor's embarrassment.

Everyone remembered Endeavor's recent topic about his family but now they all noticed that at that time, no news mentioned it again like it was just forgotten, and now, hearing Kira, it made sense to them.

"Stain was right about you… you're the very example of a corrupt hero in its finest. Tell me, you enjoyed beating your son and wife right, let me return the favor then." Kira commented as All Might intended to interfere by trying to punch Kira again.

All Might didn't think that moment the punch was about to hit, he saw Kira's hand holding his face then slammed down with a force. He grew dazed for a moment but before he could come to, he felt Kira gripping his left leg then proceeded to slam him down over and over again to the ground then threw him towards the heroes nearby.

"I told you All Might, drink that... then we can fight," Kira said as he looked at All Might's dazed expression much to the increasing despair of everyone watching.

Kira then turned to the still conscious Endeavor on the ground and approached him calmly while everyone watched him.

"Y-Y-YOU LYING PUNK!! YOU THINK SPOUTING NONSENSE WILL MAKE YOUR ACTIONS JUSTIFIED! AS A HERO-" Endeavor was cut off when Kira chuckled at him.

"Hahaha, hero huh… that's the cheapest word you could've come up with. Today, anyone with a strong quirk would be deemed to be a hero by you all, and anything other than that, they are labeled as potential villains or unfortunate casualties." Kira spoke out as everyone listened in much to Endeavor's increasing frustration.

"But you know all about that, don't you 'hero'? Tell me, you enjoyed burning villains right," Kira said as his hand suddenly caught on with a red fire then aimed it at Endeavor.

Endeavor staggeringly stood up as he wiped the blood from his mouth and scowled at Kira's fire.

"YOU THINK YOU COULD BURN ME! THE FLAMING HERO: ENDEAVOR!! EAT THIS PUNK!" Endeavor yelled in frustration and sent out another stream of fire at Kira again.

Kira calmly looked at the approaching fire then he brought out his right arm and pointed out his index finger as a small red fire converged in it. It began to spin as the fire compressed even further then a few moments passed, he sent it out.

Everyone watched as they saw Endeavor's enormous stream of fire against Kira's small ball of red fire. They all thought it was obvious who would win but a sudden shout took their attention.

"EVERYBODY GET DOWN NOW!!!" Mirko's voice rang out all over as they saw her barely conscious so she forced the heroes near her to duck down.

All heroes looked at her curiously but when they saw both fires collided with one another, the small red fireball greedily engulfed Endeavor's fire then a huge beam-like red fire headed straight at Endeavor.

"T-T-T-THATS!!" Endeavor managed to say before he was engulfed by a red explosion.

*BOOOM!!*

The explosion was strong enough to cause all nearby by windows to shatter as heroes braced themselves from the shockwave. The media crews who were in their helicopters filming this panicked as they were swept up by the power of the explosion.

As the explosion dissipated and the smoke cleared out, they all opened their mouths in awe when they saw a giant crater at Endeavor's previous spot. They all thought of the worse when they didn't see Endeavor but they heard a thud falling to the ground.

Endeavor passed out.

They saw him alive, barely at Kira's feet. It became obvious that Kira saved him at the last possible second as his body looked like it roasted from all of his burns on his body.

Endeavor's hair became non-existent along with his left arm.

All of them gasped at the state of Endeavor. Heroes grew concerned about this but seeing Kira still nearby him, managed to stop them completely.

"Flaming hero my ass… usually I'd kill people like you with no hesitation but looking at you now… the living is not done with you yet," Kira muttered then he took another red vial and shoved it at Endeavor's mouth forcefully.

All Might, Hawk, and Edgeshot grew anxious at that red vial but they grew surprised again when they saw the burns in Endeavor's body started recovering.

When All Might saw this, he looked down at the red vial in his hands then looked at Kira staring back at him.

At that, he knew what Kira wanted him to do, he opened it and gulped half of it, and instantly he felt his injury on his stomach recovery slightly.

He looked at his fist then clenched it as he estimated he could go full power for about 10 minutes without exerting his wounds.

"Very well then! Let me take him, all of you stand down and tend to the wounded," All Might ordered everyone as he saw Kira nodded at him as he appeared a few meters in front of him leaving the sorry state of Endeavor.

Hawk and Edgeshot frowned at this but they knew within themselves that they can't do anything about Kira without All Might's help.

As heroes evacuated all wounded and they themselves retreated to give them space while the media helicopters finally returned and continued to film everything. They drew bated breaths as they saw Kira standing in front of the number one hero in the country, All Might.

A few moments passed and both of them disappeared then reappeared within striking distance of each other with their fists winding up then punched out exactly at the same time.

*BAM!* *Swooosh!*

Both fists collided with each other again followed by another wind pressure but this time they didn't stop.

*BAM!* *BAM!* *BAM!* *BAM!* x??

Every punch they dish out created wind currents seen and heard by everyone watching.

Deep down everyone knew Kira was strong but now looking at him duking out with All Might in a fistfight was amazing and scary at the same time. All of them watching this became used to seeing their hero always emerging victorious with no more than one solid punch but now seeing that every hero fighting equally with Kira made them realize an important factor… there will always be someone stronger.

*BAM!* "URGH!!"

Kira managed to finally hit All Might in the face as All Might was brought to his knees much to everyone's shock but then All Might quickly stood back up and continued their slugfest.

All Might knew his limit was coming faster than he expected as felt himself growing slower by each hit while his opponent was still maintaining his constant blows. So while duking it out with each other, he looked for any openings he could exploit.

Their fight continued a few more minutes until All Might finally saw it, he suddenly kneed Kira in his stomach as that got him by surprise then All Might placed all of his strength on this last punch.

"UNITED STATES OF SMASH!!" All Might yelled out as he connected with Kira's face.

*BAMM!!!*

Kira was only sent skidding on the ground despite the force and wind pressure it produced.

"Hah… hah… Damn… is it still… hah… not enough?" All Might muttered as he visibly panted while looking at Kira's unmoving body.

Kira turned back his face towards All Might and there All Might saw the upper left portion of his mask was gone and now his red glowing eye were visible to them.

Kira stoically looked at All Might a few seconds then turned around much to all of their shocks including All Might himself.

"W-wait!! We're not finished!" All Might couldn't help but say.

"Yes… we are… you all must have noticed it by now… I could easily escape here or kill any one of you for that matter… don't make me change my mind," Kira replied without turning his head then he merged with his shadow to go back to his bakery urgently.

When All Might crack his mask, he noticed something important… that the sun was about to rise, and… he still needed to bake a few loaves of bread for his regulars.

All Might and the rest of the heroes didn't know that they were just lucky if it weren't for Kira's regular customers. In their minds, their number 1 hero saved them all and managed to injure Kira except for All Might and the barely conscious Mirko that is.

Mirko was knocked out in one punch but when Kira formed that small red fireball in his index, her intuition actually woke her up from her slumber. She knew they were just this close to death after seeing that attack and looking at Endeavor's present state, she concluded that she was right in that matter.

When she saw Kira finally turn back and escape, she couldn't help but sigh in relief. The one person who could understand her right now is probably only All Might right now.

All Might was sure, Kira went away because of an entirely different matter as he saw his eyes didn't look at him but at the dark skies. He then noticed it was already morning as the sun was beginning to rise.

He sighed in relief when he looked at everyone, he didn't want to admit it but Kira was telling the truth, even though many of them are injured, not a single one of them was killed and he knew he was far from being serious at all.

If he was, he would've brought out his scythe against them.

But he can't but wonder something though, how did Kira find out about Endeavor's unsavory acts towards his family. Though no matter where you look at it, Endeavor's name would be through the mud after this issue blows over and no amount of bribery is gonna be enough with this one.

All Might shook his head in disappointment at Endeavor, even he knew Endeavor would be lucky if he can still be a hero after this and that is just observing the look of disgust of fellow heroes on the unconscious hero.

Meanwhile at Kira's bakery.

"*Thud* Boss *Thud* Open up *Thud* Give me my morning bread *Thud*" A voice and series of banging rang out from the outside of his store as Kira knew that was his employee demanding her daily bread.

"Bossss!! *Thud* Are you awake *Thud* Can I wake up if you are still asleep?*Shuffle*" Yui's voice rang again but this time she was trying to open the door eagerly.

"*Sigh* I'm awake Kodai-san, give me a few more minutes," Kira said out loud as he continued to bake for early risers like his employee.

"...Oh…*mumbles*shame *mumbles*" Yui answered disappointedly as she placed back her camera in her bag.
