__________POV All for One__________
Things weren't supposed to go this way.
I have prepared for this extensively, preparing for most possibilities that I could come up with. Just to see it all be for nothing.
I detest the man in front of me. Even now, he is playing around with me, like a predator playing around with its food. It's infuriating.
Ever since Kyudai managed to transfer my quirk into a decent vessel I've been working towards two goals.
One of them being, to put an end to the hero society that has only been growing more brazen as of recent. It's a hindrance, to say the least.
All of these self-righteous and weak individuals going around pretending to be heroes. Playing around like children in a park.
Killing 'The Symbol Of Peace' will be the easier part of this plan. He is already a shell of his former self. Pathetic beyond recognition.
My second objective... was Revenge. Something petty that I always thought myself above. But it has clouded my judgement to the point of blindness. I can now see the results of my impatience.
I failed to realize the strength of the enemy I was planning on taking down. 'The Yellow Flash', 'The Symbol Of Justice', both are childish titles given to a teen named Allan.
But is seems that he lives up to them. Proving to be the only person to have actually managed to kill me. All Might was almost there, but he failed and almost died himself.
Allan however, was not even bothered by my presence. Not putting me in his eyes. It gave me a feeling of anger I had never felt before. The emotions of a lesser man, but, I am ashamed to admit that they influenced me...
The first step of my plan was annexing the army of villains and adding their numbers to my ever-growing list of subordinates. And it only went so smoothly due to the quirk I stole most recently.
I don't know what the person that had it before called it. But the most appropriate name I could think of is 'Mind Maggot'.
It's quite simple really. I can spit a maggot out of my mouth. It latches on the target and burrows into their heads. Giving me complete control over the person.
It's very straight forward with its limitations. The maggots are very slow, and they disappear over time.
They usually start to dissolve in a week, during that time, the person afflicted by them might take back some semblance of control.
Producing maggots also takes a perverse amount of stamina. To the point where even I, with my multitude of stamina enhancing quirks, could feel the drain it caused. But it is a powerful ability nonetheless.
Implanting the maggot in the heads of all of the leaders of the army was easy enough. The maggot would use the memories of the person it inhabited, allowing them to use the quirks of the people they inhabit too.
It made the annexation of the army even easier.
After I captured the army, a few decently powerful villains also joined in. Dabi, a person with a decently powerful fire quirk and Mr Compress, with the ability to minimize everything he touches and trap them in a small pearl of sorts.
They were both going to be great pawns. I avoided using Mind Maggot on the two of them, not out of kindness. But due to the amount of stamina it took to maintain multiple people under my command.
It took me a while to take over the entire army. But I was successful. The next part was taking the Warp quirk of the Nomu named Kurogiri.
I sent some people to find his whereabouts and prepared to rally the fodder for an all-out assault against the heroes.
The first thing I needed was a distraction. And my ever-faithful former bodyguard was happy to provide it.
He had been tasked to protect the laboratory, which he failed to do. He was caught in the explosion, but I managed to warp him out before he died. It did leave him in a coma for a while, but he will wake up in time.
I left him near a city, somewhat near the prison where my 'pupil' is being held. I cannot wait to taunt All Might with Tomura's true identity.
His shock will be enjoyable to watch, as I murder him in front of the next generation he cares so dearly for.
Gigantomachia managed to stir up enough trouble. It gave me time to attack the hospital where Kurogiri was being held. It wasn't a long affair. I just teleported in there and stole his quirk, although it did raise an alarm.
I was not expecting the hero that responded to be the rumoured lover of the 'Yellow Flash'. It was not planned, using her as a bargaining chip sounded like a good decision.
Capturing her was not difficult. I just crushed her under my right hand and stole her quirk.
I didn't bother waiting after that. I used my newly acquired warp quirk to transport my hostage to a further location, leaving two subordinates to guard her, just in case.
After doing that, I just started the assault on UA. Using four Nomus that had the same Jammer quirk as the one that attacked Tartaros.
It wasn't combined with anything else, but the range it was extending to was quite large. The whole point of this was to slow down response, it gave me time to trash the Symbol of Peace.
He was diligently fighting the people under my command. The students were also running away in a pathetic state. Most were scared and restless, while others were fighting roughly.
These were mere children after all. But even they could deal with some of the cannon fodder that formed this army.
I didn't join in the fight against All Might at first. I wanted to see the state he was in, and I was right. He was pathetic, he couldn't even finish off a few weaklings. The people with Maggots were decent, but they were all weaklings.
More and more reinforcements came, students and teachers fought together. Watching them struggle helplessly against the overwhelming amount of villains I was continuously supplying them with was satisfying.
But not as satisfying as the moment my fingers pierced All Mights abdomen. He was already tired, I couldn't help but gloat a bit.
Crushing him was not difficult. He was straight-forward and easy to predict, taking off his hand was all done in a quick exchange. He started deflating quickly after that.
His appearance managed to amuse me greatly. So pitiful, so weak...
Then, just as I was about to end All Might, Allan came and saved him. Predictable, but his end will come soon, who will protect All Might after that?
Well, simply put, things are horrendous... The army I gathered dying was fine, but what followed was truly what mattered the most.
The precaution I had taken was useless. And the strength I was confident in was shown to be useless. I was not even capable enough to react to his movements. Escaping was my only hope, but it was also a hopeless endeavour. All I needed was a second, but a second was too long it seems.
I should've prepared more, but I was hurrying so much that I had forgotten to properly research my most dangerous opponent...
All I could do now was lay on the ground and stare at the sky, every mocking word of his reminded me of my failure.

Heyy, hope you enjoyed the chapter!
I tried my best to highlight All for One's sociopathic personality in this chapter. I hope it was decent enough.
The next chapter will be the end of the fight.
