"I...can't...get in there...!" Kurogiri groaned as he tried and failed to morph himself to Nomu's side, but the whipping wind of the fight was too powerful for him.

"You said one of this thing's powers was shock absorption, Right?!" The number one hero called out to the leader of the league, as he slowly started to beat the beast back. "That means that there's a limit to how much damage this monster can take!"

The Nomu managed to land a lucky punch on the symbol of peace's bleeding side. All Might felt his mouth fill with warm red, but that strike only helped to give him another boost of adrenaline. "So, you were made to destroy me, were you, big guy?! To take me on at one hundred per cent of my power?!"

Shigaraki flinched. He did not like the sound of that...!

"Then I'll just have to go beyond my limits!" All Might continued to wail on the monster, his fists flying even faster as he pushed on.

Deku was in complete awe. Even with his wounds, even with his power dwindling, he was still giving it his all.

And he wasn't just throwing his fists at random, either. Every one of them was a calculated target. And each one was over his natural limit!

It made the Quirkless child remember why he became a fan of the symbol of peace in the first place.

With a mighty pulled back fist, All Might swung into the beast, sending it crashing across the field.

The Nomu got back on its feet, only to collide with All Might once again. "A real hero...always finds a way...to turn a bad situation around for the better!" The symbol of peace delivered a devastating dropkick into the monstrosity's mangled face, sending it airborne.

All Might shot up to the Nomu and grabbed hold of the creature's arm. Spinning at a high velocity, he threw the beast down to the ground, causing it to crash into the earth like a meteor coming out of orbit. "To always make sure that justice prevails!"

Everyone was dumbstruck at the awe-inspiring feet. Deku was slowly starting to let his hold on Bakugo slacken.

All Might then landed on his feet before the Nomu, as it began to rise up from the gravel once more. "Here at UA...we have a saying, that inspires future heroes to give their all..."

All Might felt his power surge into his fist, pulling it back for one last attack.

"GO BEYOND...PLUS ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The symbol of peace plunged his fist into the Nomu's belly. Time seemed to stop for a few moments as if reality was taking a moment to register the amount of power in the hero's feat.

And once it did, the Nomu was shot into the air like a rocketship to the moon. Its thick hide struck the dome roof of the USJ, and the force of All Might punch helped to push it through the ceiling, and out into the open air.

The sounds of the Nomu screeching started to drift away, as it slowly disappeared into the wide blue sky.

All Might heaved heavy breaths after his climactic finish. "In my prime...I would have taken down that beast with five blows alone... " He stood back up straight, his signature grin glimmering in the smoke of the demolished facility. "But it took three hundred blows to send that creature flying! I'm starting to think I'm getting too old for this..."

Shigaraki's wide astonished eye turned into a bitter sharp slit. "That's cheating...!" He then started to flail his arms around, throwing a fit like a toddler would when denied what he wanted. "That's cheating! He's supposed to weak! Master said he's supposed to be weak, now! HACKS! I CALL HACKS!"

Deku ripped his gaze away from his former idol and back at the razed hand-man. Did he say 'master?' Wasn't Shigaraki the leader of the League of Villains?

A tired groan came to his ears next. He turned his attention to a few of the downed villains still on the ground. Realising his position, he re-tightened his hold on the bomb boy and called out to the defeated villains. "Rock-Slide!"

The four-armed rock villain eyes shot open when his name was called. "Huh?! W-What?"

"Brano! Split-Endz! Skullasaurous!" The green hooded villain cried out. "Anyone that can move, move! We gotta go!" He then whipped his head to the living cloud. "Mr Vortex!"

Kurogiri turned his attention to the bunny-eared boy who came to his aid. "Hmm?"

"Make a portal, quick! We gotta get out of here!" The young villain ordered.

"What does he think he's doing?!" Shigaraki growled as he pointed at the green hooded upstart. "I'm the one in charge here! I tell you-!"

"He's right, Shigaraki." Kurogiri defended the boy, taking the seething hand-man by surprise. "The rest of the heroes will be on us in a matter of time. We must leave, now!"

Shigaraki couldn't believe what he was hearing! His frustrated mind began to spill with overflowing, inane thoughts as he ripped into his neck once again. Did he have any leeway around here?!

The living cloud created a large portal behind himself, as some of the other villains started waking up and picking themselves off the ground.

"Oh, I don't think so!" Kirishima declared as he rushed for the bunny-eared villain, only to stop dead in his tracks as the young analyst jingled the pin of Bakugo's gauntlet, still aimed at the snarling boy's face.

"Ah, ah, ah!" The green hooded boy warned as he kept his prisoner close. "One false move...and the firecracker goes off, for good!"

"He's bluffing! Get him!" Bakugo barked. But Kirishima didn't have it in him to take that chance.

"No...!" All Might grunted as he tried to make his way over to the young villain, but after his draining battle with the Nomu, he was barely holding it together.

If he made any move, he would reform into his true form. He didn't want the world to see him for what he was, but he couldn't stand leaving young Bakugo to these merciless fiends.

He clenched his mammoth-sized fist in frustration. He was caught!

A handful of villains started making their way toward the vortex, walking around the green hooded boy and his hostage.

Shoto wanted nothing more than to turn those smug, smirking convicts into villain-sicles! But he too couldn't take the chance of Bakugo's head getting blown off.

No matter how much the temperamental timebomb seemed to be asking for it.

"This reminds me of what happened to you last year..." The bunny-eared villain mocked the bomb boy in his grasp. "When that Sludge Villain got ahold of you, and none of the heroes had the guts to come rescue you." A joyful chuckle escaped his masked lips. "I remember the look in your eyes. You were so scared..."

"You don't know a thing about me!" Katsuki roared as he tried to wrestle himself out of the young villain's arms.

"Oh, I beg to differ!" The green hooded villain argued back as he tightened his grip. "I know how you regard everyone in your life as 'extras'. How you love to lord your power over others. How you relish in breaking people down, until they don't have the will to fight back!" The boy had to take a moment to calm himself, breathing heavily after his rant.

Deku then chuckled as he started backing up toward the vortex, dragging his old bully with him. Kirishima and Shoto followed, but kept at a safe distance, so as not to agitate the villain holding their hot-headed bomb boy.

"What I'm getting at, is what would happen, if all your classmates, your teachers, your parents; what if everyone knew...just what kind of a poor excuse of a future hero you really are?"

The bomb boy was now utterly ticked off, and completely confused. Who the heck was this freak?!

Shigaraki was visibly shaking with rage at this point. Kurogiri noticed this and knew that when the young master got like this, he was bound to do something incredibly foolish. "Shigaraki. We need to-"

"I'M THE ONE IN CHARGE, HERE!" The hand-man's raspy voice ripped through the air.

All eyes snapped toward him, as he broke out into a mad dash at the bunny-eared villain and his prisoner. "If you're just gonna stand there and lag over killing that brat, then I'll kill him MYSELF! AND YOU WITH HIM!"

Deku could do nothing but watch as Shigaraki came racing toward him, his right hand stretched out.
