Attack on Hosu (9/10) The fall of the symbol of peace.

"TOGA!!!"

I rushed over towards Toga, she was bleeding heavily. I don't think I can stop the bleeding fast enough after taking out the pole. I look back at All Might, I want to kill him... He needs to die.

If I dont take this gamble... Toga could die. I dont know if it would even work...

*No. I can't hesitate*

"Iz...u-ku..n?" Hearing her words I make up my mind. I need to take this gamble.

As I pull Toga off the pole, screams of pain could be heard as she bleeds further. I quickly put her in my Void. I had tested this on guinea pigs but I couldn't be sure this would work. As we vanished from sight. Toga started to suffocate due to the lack of oxygen, from the moment we entered the void realm. Knowing I might need to do this one day, I stocked up on oxygen tanks. I attach it to Toga as blood continues to spill.

I quickly ripped the bottom of her shirt, where the wound was covering. I checked and luckily none of her vitals are damaged. I quickly wrap bandages around Toga. My Void storage works to retain the quality of the items, even food won't go bad if I store them here. Meaning if my theory is correct, Time itself is stopped within this space. Once I leave, she shouldn't even realize time had passed.

Its similar to my theory on how it looks as if time has stopped by its merely because shadows can travel as fast as light as shadows will always follow. In this case, does it depend on what side I'm on... Time will stall when I'm in the void and when I'm outside, time in the void will stall. Nevertheless, it's my saving grace, as of now.

If I hadnt gotten this specific quirk... If I wasn't curious about my quirk... What would have happened... If I wasn't someone who prepares in advance... What would have happened? Toga would be dead... It's All Mights fault. It's ALWAYS HIS FAULT. Toga... I'm sorry.

I left my void space as soon as possible. Will she really be ok? Doubts entered my mind as I realized... I need to be more prepared...

"... Please be okay, Toga..."

As I leave my void, All Might has a surprised expression as Toga vanished completely. I pick up the piece of steel, once again as I control All Mights body with {Puppet Strings} This time. I wont make a mistake. This time All Might will die.

"All Might... I can forgive you for making me have false hope. I can even learn to forgive you for crushing my dreams... But. For hurting Toga... 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞"

As I approached All Might, his smile disappeared. He knew what was about to happen. He tried to shake off my {Puppet String} to which he managed to dispel my shadows and block the pole but as soon as he did, the building started to crumble. In the moment that he hesitated to counter attack me and instead went to hold the building...

In that moment... I stabbed the steel pole into All Might's chest. I took the pole straight out, leading blood to gush like a fountain.

As he collapsed on the spot and the building fell apart. All the people inside were already evacuated.

"You were so focused on me that you didn't realize, the building you were trying to stop from falling had already been evacuated, moments ago... Do you have anything else to say? How about sorry? You nearly killed my... my friend."

"..."

"DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY AT ALL!?, YOU RUINED MY LIFE! I COULD HAVE BEEN A HERO!"

"You can be better."

"... AHAHA! HAHA! THAT'S IT?!"

"..." to his silence, I compose myself. Realizing that I am not that same kid anymore who strived to be a hero.

"Goodbye. The symbol of peace."

"Midoriya... You don't have to do this. You could still help people... *COUGH*" All Might says in one final breath to stop Deku. In that moment he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"If you said in the beginning... that I could be a hero... I wonder how our fates would turn out. But you... You caused this for yourself. You hurt the one I care about. You deserve this." I say, trying to hold back my anger as much as I can. He doesn't deserve a fast death.

*Toga... I will make him pay for what he did to you.*

"Your career as a hero is done. How about I take away your signature punch as well." I say as I surround the pole with a layer of shadows. It sharpens it, as it acts as a sword. I cut All Mights arm off with ease, as blood began to gush everywhere. His right arm drops to the ground as the building collapses below half of his body. He is still conscious. He won't live through this. Even then... I have to make sure. I have to deal the final blow. As I'm about to strike down on All Might...

"PUPPETEER!" A loud roar approached as Endeavor screamed from the shadows. He sees All Might pinned to the ground, as he charges towards me... He throws a blaze of fire straight at me, tired from everything that had happened I couldn't move my body fast enough. The fire scorched the side of my jaw. It created a burn mark from my cheek to my neck. I couldn't feel anything and in response, I merely said.

"Sir Nighteye... We are too late.." Mirio says as they all witness All might disarmed, crushed under rubble and defeated.

"I told you... This would happen... Why didn't you listen.." Nighteye mutters to himself.

Uninterested in what they have to say, I leave fast in order to make sure Toga is okay...

"Kurogiri, we're done here." A shadow suddenly appears as if he was always watching me, ready to intervene.

"Good work today... We have finally dealt with the symbol of peace... Let's leave." Kurogiri says as I merely nod in response. Our mission had been achieved. The Symbol of peace... is dead.

"Puppeteer, no... Deku. I will avenge All Might." I suppose All Might still have his comms open, they heard everything. Mirio states.

"I look forward to it," I say as I disappear into the shadows with Kurogiri. Leaving nothing but a smile as I leave.
