Chapter 116: Iron Man & All Might Vs. AFO (End)

[Third Person's PoV] 

All Might stood in his blue, gold, and red armor, flexing as the lenses on his eyes glowed blue with power, matching the Stark Reactor in his chest.

"WE ARE IRON MIGHT!" Tony proudly declared before they both dropped into a running position.

"So cool~" All Might heard Melissa's voice from a bit further back, making him chuckle.

"Oh, how the mighty have fallen!" AFO laughed, seeing All Might.

AFO then heard Tony chuckle through All Might's armor. "I didn't know foresight was one of your quirks."

"Ready, All Might?" Tony asked as thrusters on All Might's feet appeared, activating and waiting to be unleashed.

"As ready as you are, young Stark!" All Might replied, his signature large grin returning.

"Good! You deal with the punching, I'll handle the tech! Friday, hit it!"

(Song: Survivor – Eye of the Tiger)

(🎶🎵 BAM! BAM BAM BAM! BAM BAM BAM! 🎶🎵)

"Stark... is that music I'm hearing?" All Might asked as the power from the thrusters increased, creating a massive flare behind them while they remained in position.

Meanwhile, black lightning crackled from AFO's fingers, destroying the ground slightly with its discharge.

"Let's rock and roll, baby!" Tony shouted as the thrusters on All Might's feet ignited, sending him rocketing toward All For One. The ground beneath him exploded into rubble, the force of the takeoff leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. The combined power of All Might's muscles and Tony's advanced technology propelled them forward like a bullet, their movements perfectly synchronized.

(🎶🎵 "Rising up, back on the street! Did my time, took my chances!" 🎶🎵)

All For One's eyes narrowed as he watched them approach, black lightning crackling from his fingertips. With a sneer, he extended both arms, unleashing a torrent of dark energy in their direction. The ground beneath him trembled as his raw power distorted the air around them.

"Brace yourself, All Might!" Tony's voice echoed through the suit as the nanites adjusted the armor, creating an energy shield just in time to absorb the brunt of AFO's attack.

(🎶🎵 "Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet! Just a man and his will to survive!" 🎶🎵)

The shield held, but the force of the blast sent All Might skidding back across the broken ground. Gritting his teeth, All Might dug his heels in, roaring as the thrusters on his back activated, launching him into the sky.

With a flick of his wrist, All For One sent a barrage of tendrils made of black energy soaring upward to meet him. "You think your fancy suit will make a difference? You're only delaying the inevitable!"

All Might twisted mid-air, dodging the tendrils with ease. "It's not the suit that makes me strong!" he bellowed. "It's the heart behind it!"

(🎶🎵 "It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight, rising up to the challenge of our rival!" 🎶🎵)

Tony's AI adjusted their flight path with precision, allowing All Might to come down like a meteor, fist cocked back. "Now, All Might! Full power!"

The nanites on his fist glowed with intense energy as All Might rocketed toward AFO. His punch connected with an earth-shattering impact, a shockwave rippling through the battlefield. The force sent AFO flying back, crashing through multiple buildings, each one collapsing like dominos from the sheer devastation.

But AFO wasn't finished. His body shifted, using a combination of quirks to regenerate and enhance his strength. He roared in fury, his form bulging grotesquely as he shot back toward All Might, his arm transforming into a massive drill. "You will fall, just like your predecessor!"

All Might met him head-on, their fists colliding in a thunderous explosion. The ground beneath them cracked and split open, debris raining down like meteors as they exchanged blows at lightning speed.

(🎶🎵 "And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night, and he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger!" 🎶🎵)

"Tony, boost the thrusters!" All Might shouted, feeling the strain in his muscles.

"On it!" Tony responded, increasing the power to maximum. The thrusters ignited once more, adding extra force to All Might's next punch. The blow connected with AFO's torso, sending him crashing into the ground with enough force to create a massive crater.

AFO coughed, blood spurting from his mouth, but he quickly regenerated, growling in frustration. "You think you can keep this up forever?!"

"All Might, hit him with everything you've got! This is the final push!" Tony's voice urged.

With a roar that echoed through the battlefield, All Might unleashed his signature move. "UNITED STATES OF SMASH!" His fist came down like a hammer, enhanced by the full power of Tony's suit and his indomitable spirit.

The impact created a blinding flash of light, the ground beneath them shattering completely, as both AFO and All Might's armored fist connected! 

The collision of All Might's fist and All For One's dark, pulsating power unleashed an explosion so intense that the air itself seemed to warp. The shockwave was deafening, as the ground beneath them splintered and cracked like fragile glass. The blinding flash of energy radiated outward, shaking buildings miles away and sending massive chunks of earth flying in every direction.

For a split second, it seemed like time had frozen. The force of their combined power suspended everything, holding them in a fragile balance.

Tony's voice broke through the static in All Might's helmet. "All Might! Hold steady! We've almost got him!"

All Might's muscles strained beneath the suit as he pushed forward, grinding his teeth together in pure determination. AFO's energy was fierce, his power immense, but Tony's technology was pushing All Might beyond his limits, amplifying his strength with every surge of power.

All For One growled, his face twisted in fury, black tendrils of energy lashing out wildly. "You... you think this is enough to stop me?!"

But All Might pressed on, inch by inch, the ground quaking beneath his feet. "No villain... will ever win... as long as... I stand!!"

With one final push, All Might's fist, glowing with the combined force of his and Tony's power, broke through AFO's defenses. The impact shattered the dark energy, and All For One's body contorted violently from the blow.

"NOW!" Tony shouted, seizing the moment.

The thrusters on All Might's suit kicked into overdrive, sending him rocketing forward with blinding speed. His fist, still radiating power, struck AFO square in the chest with an earth-shattering impact, crumpling the villain's armor-like exterior and sending shockwaves rippling through his body. AFO's eyes widened in disbelief as the power behind the punch overwhelmed his defenses, his black aura splintering and fading.

All For One let out a strangled cry as he was launched backward, his body slamming into the ground with the force of a meteor, creating a massive crater. The villain's once-immense power faltered, his form now limp and broken as smoke rose from his shattered figure.

(🎶🎵 "Rising up to the challenge of our rival!" 🎶🎵)

All Might, his armored fist still glowing, stood tall above the devastation. His breathing was heavy, the strain of the battle weighing on him, but he remained resolute. Tony's voice crackled through the comms, barely masking the excitement. "That... was... incredible, All Might!"

All Might's smile returned, wider than ever, as he raised his fist in victory. "We did it, young Stark. Together!"

But as the dust settled and the battlefield grew quiet, AFO's mangled body began to stir. His voice, hoarse and labored, echoed faintly. "This... isn't over. I... will return... stronger... than ever..."

All Might's smile faltered, but Tony's voice cut in with determination. "Not if we have anything to say about it."

"Friday," Tony commanded, "Containment protocol. Let's make sure this guy stays down."

As AFO tried to rise, a cage of energy beams materialized around him, courtesy of the suit's built-in protocols. The villain's body twitched as he fought against it, but he was too weak to break free.

Tony's voice rang out one final time. "And that's checkmate, All For One."
