Triple One For All

I use one of my signature moves, Hope's Barrier, to protect Deku from Nine's bullet laser. Then, I create a ring of flames behind me, resembling the sun, and throw it at the . He blocks it with his force field and fires his lasers at me. I dodge the lasers while aiming Aqua Slicers at him. Surprisingly, he didn't use his force field to block them. He dodges the attacks, which makes him stop using Bullet Laser, and then uses his force field to shield himself from Katsuki's Armor-Piercing Shot. At least he can't use multiple Quirks at once. Before I could attack him with Sunflower White Snake, the villain shot me and Izuku again with his lasers. This time, two of the lasers hit my left leg and right forearm. I endure the pain and attack Nine with a flaming kick the same time Izuku attacks with a kick of his own. The villain deflects both of our strikes. My eyes caught the sight of a giant dust cloud coming from the underground cavern. That's where Mina and Tokoyami are fighting that woman. I hope they're okay. I got so distracted that I didn't see the lasers coming at me. Thankfully, Izuku and Katsuki pushed me out of the way before another hole is added to my body. 

"Himawari, be careful!" Deku cried out. 

"Pay attention, you dumbass!" Katsuki reprimanded me as he went to fighting Nine.

"Yeah, I'm trying to." I respond, shifting my focus back to the battle.

Katsuki tosses both of his Grenadier Bracers at me, and I slice them open, revealing his nitroglycerin-like sweat. I bend my boyfriend's sweat into marble-sized orbs and arranged them around the villain. Then, I throw a fireball at one of the orbs of sweat, causing a chain reaction that creates multiple explosions around the enemy before he could react. Katsuki smirked, and I smiled when the villain was sent tumbling backward. With my flames, I fly above the villain and perform one of my ultimate moves, Sunflower Ryu. The long flaming serpent-like dragon forms and flies down to our opponent. The villain uses his force field, but my dragon broke through it. Before my dragon lay its fangs on him, the villian summons one of those sea serpent-like creatures from his back to overpower my dragon. My Sunflower Ryu is almost the same size as that blue sea serpent thing, but it subdues the hydra creature by constricting it. I use this as an opportunity to attack with Dragon of The Aqua. The villain summons another sea serpent, and the same thing happens with my water dragon. I use Steam Veil at its maximum to surround us and the villain, and then I quickly fire with Sunflower Arrow while Katsuki uses AP Shot. The villain stops using his sea serpent Quirk to use his force field to protect himself and get rid of some of the steam clouding his vision. Sero swings in and attempts to help out, but he gets taken down after the villain uses his Bullet Laser Quirk to blast him. Ochaco tries to make the bad guy float, but then he immediately uses his sea serpent to knock out Uravity. Before she crashes to the ground, Deku catches her. Then, the three of us fire back against the sea serpent Quirk with a combination of Delaware Air Force, AP Shot, Dragon of The Aqua, and Sunflower Ryu, but the villain summons three more sea serpents and sends us flying into a ruin wall. Just when I thought we were finished, he abruptly stopped. The big baddie groans in pain as he clutches his head.

"That's it! He's reached his limit." Izuku said.

Yes! That's exactly what we want! Without a second thought, the three of us lunged forward to strike the villain simultaneously. 

"Now, you guys. We'll attack in waves!"

"Don't give me orders!" Katsuki rebuked.

"Now's not time for your bellyaching, Katsuki!" I chided my boyfriend, engulfing both of my hands in fire and water. 

Third Person POV:

Hikari, Deku, and Bakugou seize the opportunity to attack, but Nine activates his life-support system to take a heavy dose of empowering drug and goes beyond his limit, summoning a massive lightning strike that seemingly vaporizes the trio. Katsuma and Mahoro burst into tears when the dust clears and the three heroes aren't there, making them think the worst-case scenario. The situation grows dire for Class 1-A as Nine proves to be too powerful for all of them. Ojiro, Shoji, and Jiro flee with Katsuma and Mahoro to the escape route in the caves. Tentacole takes the kids away while Tailman and Earphone Jack ambush the villain at a bridge first to hold him back, but they're smashed by the Hydra Quirk. Nine later catches up to Shoji and attacks him using his bullet lasers as Shoji protects the kids. Ojiro and Jiro catch up to attack Nine with Shoji tackling with his Dupli-Arms Quirk, but the villain blasts all three of them away, defeating them Nine then grabs Mahoro by the neck and holds her hostage to demand Katsuma to surrender his Quirk, or he'll kill his sister. Before Nine can steal his Quirk, Izuku and Hikari enter the fray and kick the villain to save Katsuma and Mahoro. This causes Nine to let go of Mahoro, and Bakugou quickly catches her.

"Sorry we're late!" Hikari said.

Katsuma almost couldn't believe his eyes as he gazed at the two young heroes.

"You're okay." Katsuma muttered.

"That was very brave." Deku glances back at Katsuma with a smile. "You did great. I'm proud of you."

Katsuma gets misty-eyed at Deku's praise. At the same time, Bakugou puts Mahoro down.

"Bakugou, you're alive!" Mahoro exclaimed with relief. 

"Weren't you listening?" Bakugou questioned Mahoro. "I'm gonna be the No.1 Hero. I'll end up better than every pro, even All Might."

Mahoro smiles. Their heartfelt moment is cut short when Nine slowly gets back up.

"Katsuma, take your sister and run!" Hikari ordered.

Katsuma quickly grabbed his sister's hand, and the two of them ran away. As soon as the kids are out of harm's way, the three heroes charged at the villain. 

"How could you possibly have avoided my lightning?" Nine asked while he used his Air Wall Quirk to protect himself. 

"You already pulled that move one during our first encounter!" Hikari shot back.

The three friends successfully broke through the Air Wall, which sends Nine flying.

"So, we planned for it." Bakugou added. "And used that idiot Kaminari as a lightning rod."

Nine fires his Bullet Lasers at Bakugou and Hikari, but the lovers expertly dodge them and fired back with AP Shot and Sunflower Shot (a move where Hikari summons a strong stream of fireballs and water orbs that hits her opponent with great force multiple times). Nine uses Air Wall for defense, and then he uses his Hydra Quirk for offense. Deku smashes both of the sea snake-like creatures. With Deku covering them, Hikari and Bakugou strike with a combined attack that creates a massive explosion. On the verge of defeat, Nine uses the entire empowering drug in his life-support system which amplifies his Weather Manipulation Quirk to the maximum and summons a massive fire tornado and lightning storm and begins to destroy everything on the island. Deku boosts his Quirk to reach 100% and uses Detroit Smash, Bakugou uses Howitzer Impact, and Hikari uses Red Sunflower. Unfortunately, the three aren't strong enough to stop Nine and get obliterated by the Weather Manipulation Quirk. Shoji manages to regain consciousness and uses his body to shield Katsuma and Mahoro from the falling debris as the firestorm causes a cave-in, trapping Koda, Sato, and Hagakure along with the civilians in the cave. Deku, Bakugou, and Hikari manage to survive, but they are severely wounded.

"It's no use." Nine said while walking toward the young heroes. "You simply don't have enough strength to defeat me. You would not survive in the new world I will create."

Deku struggles back to his feet.

"What new world?" Deku asked before getting hit by Bullet Laser. 

"One ruled by power." Nine hits Bakugou and Hikari with Bullet Laser. "The strong will lord over the weak in my utopia."

"Same old crap." Bakugou remarks. 

Nine then summons three hydras and traps each hero in their jaws.

"Labels like "hero" and "villain" won't be necessary. Power will be the only factor that matters. That's how a true superhuman society should be structured."

Hearing the villain's absurd goal, Deku, Hikari, and Bakugou glare at Nine disapprovingly.

"Sounds like something a power-hungry madman would dream up." Deku said.

"That's never gonna work, moron." Bakugou said.

The hydras drag the heroes against the mountain and high above the ground. 

"If you attempt to get in my way, then you'll have to be eliminated."

Nine uses his Hydra Quirk to crush Hikari, Deku, and Bakugou to death. With every member of Class 1-A out of commission, the last three standing wracked their brains for any way to turn this battle around. Giving up now means that they lose, and everyone they care about will suffer. But what can they do? How are they going to defeat a guy that has the same power as All For One?

"Mister Deku!" Katsuma yells, making the trio look down at the kids.

"Bakugou!" Mahoro screamed with teary eyes. "Himawari!"

"We believe in you!"

"Please, don't give up!" The kids shouted together. 

As he heard Katsuma and Mahoro's encouragement, Deku decided to make one desperate gamble.

"Kacchan." Deku speaks to his childhood friends. "Himawari. I've got a crazy idea. There's only one way we can stop him."

At first, Bakugou and Hikari didn't know what their friend was talking about, but then it became obvious, and their eyes slowly grew wide as they gasped. Deku stretches his injured arms toward his friends, and they each reach out to grab one of his hands. Such a desperate move will have some consequences, but this is the only way to protect everyone, the only way to victory. There's no other choice. Within three seconds, they broke free from Nine's grip.

"After this, will you still be able to use your power?" Hikari asked Deku, standing up to face the villain with her teammates. 

"I don't know." Deku answers. "But... your father was able to protect us with its embers. Even after he passed the Quirk onto me."

"What did you do?" Nine interrogated the three heroes. 

"With triple One For All..." The three friends began. 

"...We'll save everyone!" Green energy from One For All comes out of Deku's body.

"...We'll beat you and win!" Orange energy from One For All comes out of Bakugou's body.

"...And we'll protect Katsuma and Mahoro!" Red, pink, orange, yellow, green, and purple energy from One For All sparks out of Hikari's body. At the same time, her bright red hair changes to the same blonde color as All Might's. 

"Why won't you weaklings die already!?" Infuriated, Nine summons another massive storm on the island, destroying much of the island's infrastructure. 

"This is the end of your dream, Deku." Bakugou said. "You're gonna be Quirkless again."

"But that's fine." Deku declared. "I have to do this. I'm sure that All Might would agree since you and Himawari are the ones I gave it to. Kacchan, you knew about our secret and kept it to yourself. And Himawari, I kept everything about your dad a secret from you, but you forgave me, forgave your parents, and gave me your full support. The three of us have always tried to be the same hero. So, if it's you two..."

"I get it, Izuku." Hikari said. "You trust us, and this is the only way to beat this guy. We're the only heroes that can protect the islanders." She clenched her fist. "Neither my mom nor my dad would ever give up, so we won't either! Because no matter what bad guys my dad faces, no matter what trouble comes his way, in the end..."

"He always wins!!" Bakugou shouted as One For All surges through his body.

"Saves everyone with a smile!!" Deku yells out loud while smiling. One For All also surges throughout his body.

"You'll never defeat me!" Nine attempts to use the storm to kill them. 

Hikari and Bakugou boost up to reach Full Cowl 100%, and together with Deku, they use Detroit Smash to stop the tornado. This move creates a hole through the dark clouds over the island, making the sunlight shine down on them. Katsuma and Mahoro gazed at the young heroes in astonishment. 

"No." Nine is just shocked by what he just witnessed. "They couldn't. What is this power? I won't let you block my path. Never."

Hikari and Bakugou groaned in pain because their arms broke after using 100% of One For All. 

"Himawari, Kacchan, let's go." Deku said.

"I thought I told you not to give me orders!" Bakugou reprimanded.

"Don't get in my way!" Releasing all his Quirks at their maximum power, Nine engages Deku, Bakugou, and Hikari in an intense battle. 

Because of the boost from gaining One For All, Bakugou's Explosion Quirk has increased in power and heat. And as for Hikari, she's able to bend the ocean from a distance and use it to her advantage. She can also more distinct shapes with her flames and fire them at Nine all at once. After a lengthy fight, Deku, Bakugou, and Hikari finally manage to defeat Nine once and for all using a combined attack, effectively ending the threat. However, the ember left by One For All sparks out, leaving Izuku Midoriya permanently Quirkless once again. Hikari's hair slowly reverted back to it's red color as all three heroes pass out from their injuries and exhaustion. As Izuku loses consciousness, he says only a few words.

"Goodbye, One For All. Thank you."
