Desperate Battle to Save the World

Everyone walked forwards towards Tomura except for Leonidus, he simply crossed his arms as he stood there, Mikey looked back behind him as he saw a sly smile on his face.

"Alyx?" Mikey spoke up.

"I've already attacked him." Leonidus smiled.

White lines pierced through Tomura's body, making him convulse in every direction he was hit at. Alyx darted towards Shigaraki, one fist sent him flying clear to the other side of the fortress.

"Wait here, I'll need your guys' help soon." Alyx told them.

He took off after Tomura, a huge wave of decay came barreling towards him, Aizawa struggled to look up as he was pinned down by Tomura's growth.

"D-Damn it... That wave of decay is... What?!" Aizawa observed.

The decay suddenly disappeared almost instantly, "It's useless Tomura, I refuse to let you destroy this place! Try all you want, but your Decay Quirk, it won't work anymore!"

"Fine then, how about I unveil this for you?" Tomura fumed.

A dark aura surrounded Shigaraki, Alyx read his Heat Energy, noticing that the Quirk around him was mimicking his Overdrive.

"You don't think we were capable enough to reproduce that Overdrive of yours?" Shigaraki asked.

"That's why I came prepared." Leonidus deadpanned.

Alyx's residual Overdrive surrounded Tomura's entire body, locking him in place, he tried to break free but none of his Quirks would work.

"Y-You're a coward! A damned coward!" Shigaraki barked.

"That's all I've been for my entire life, Tomura. A coward, hiding behind powerful people, hoping they'd solve my problems for me. But now... These people need me, the world needs me to protect them from you. And you bet your goddamn ass I'm gonna do just that. My family and friends, I've promised to keep them safe, that's the source of my strength. That's what makes me who I am." Alyx agreed.

He rose up into the sky, charging up a Nova Blast attack with his right hand.

"Even if you manage to kill me on this day, I will let you know this one thing, Tomura Shigaraki. I will never die, because there will always be one person standing in my place! As long as I'm remembered, as long as my ideals touch someone's heart, I will always be with them! My Father, my Grandpa, and my Grandpa Tanjiro... They helped their friends live peacefully, and that's what I wanna do too!"

His Nova Blaster grew even brighter than before. Alyx thought back to all of the good times he had with his friends and family, their smiles, how happy they were back then. Tears of frustration fell down his face as he scowled at Tomura.

"WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?! IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M A DAMN HERO! IT'S BECAUSE I WANNA SEE THEM SMILE! THAT'S ALL... I WANT!!!" Leonidus vowed.

Leonidus roared as he fired off the Nova Blast attack, the beam slammed into a stationary Tomura, ramming into the electromagnetic barrier around the fortress. It grew larger as Leonidus pushed his hand further into the blast. It triggered a huge explosion that rattled the surrounding area. Leonidus put his hand down, looking towards the densely packed smoke where Tomura was. His eyes widened as he saw a giant, bulkier outline standing in Shigaraki's place. Tomura had converted his body into some sort of mountain of muscular flesh.

"I don't like the feel of this..." Alyx muttered.

Now a hulking behemoth, Tomura's grin was even wider than before, each footstep he took shook the fortress. Leonidus unsheathed his blade and ran towards Tomura, slicing at him, only for Shigaraki to nearly regenerate instantly.

"You can't stop me now! I've gotten too strong for that blade of yours!" Shigaraki boomed.

Leonidus rose it up high, flames ignited from the tip, a massive hand stopped his blade and shattered it to pieces. Two flaming cross attacks carved into Tomura's back, distracting him momentarily.

"Hey! You ugly fuck! Over here!" Joshua taunted.

Shigaraki bolted towards Joshua with unexpected speeds, a huge ball of light slammed into Tomura's side, making him roll off the ground as it detonated.

"Tomura's underneath all that pile of flesh! That just some sort of battle husk!" Leonidus informed them.

"How are we supposed to get him out?" Sheyenne questioned.

Leonidus recalled what he did to the U.S.J. Nomu, using his Rage Quirk, he easily ripped open the Nomu's flesh using his Rage Arms.

"I've never done it before, but I have to use my Rage Quirk while I'm using my Overdrive, it should be possible with Infinite Mode. At least I hope so!" Alyx answered.

"Are you certain, Leonidus?" Shigaraki spoke up.

Alyx quickly turned around to see Tomura behind him, out of the husk he was supposed to be in! He slammed his fist into Shigaraki's face, knocking him away from everyone else. Leonidus began to get frustrated, beginning to wonder how he could defeat Tomura.

"I'm gonna stop him before he gets out of control!" Leonidus relayed to everyone.

"You aren't going to blow yourself up right now, are you, Leonidus?! This is a time for strategy, not foolishly blind heroics! You're the only one right now who can put a dent in that demon!" Best Jeanist scolded.

"I'm sorry, but I have to at least try! There's people I care about here, you know!" Leonidus argued.

Mirio stumbled up to his feet, "H-He's right, Vanguard! Shigaraki's regeneration is too much! He'll just wear you down! We need you alive, kid!"

"I don't care! I still have to try! I have to!" Alyx shouted.

"Alyx-" Mirko yelled.

He threw his earpiece off, taking deep breaths in and out, clenching his fists at his side. Leonidus remembered Las Vegas, the people that were hurt in the incident, and Laura's demise. Instead of being sorrowful, it filled him with an unbridled rage, his veins began to glow blue as he grit his teeth.

"𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦... 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦!!" Leonidus thought.

His aura shot up around him wildly, "HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"

"I WON'T LET YOU RUIN THIS WORLD!!!!" Alyx roared.

Alyx output everything he had as he charged towards Shigaraki, driving thousands of fists into his body and face. Suddenly, it was almost as if Alyx's last fist hit an invincible wall, he looked stunned as he saw Tomura liquefy right before his eyes. Leonidus looked to his right to see a huge ball of decay flying down towards him.

"G-Guys! There's a decay thingy coming towards us!" A Second Year student panicked.

Alyx zoomed towards it, trying to hold it back, but it was somehow overpowering him! He used up so much Overdrive attempting to keep it from touching the ground, his Infinite Mode withered away into his Base Mode!

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Come on, come on!!!" Leonidus screamed.

"It's useless! Fucking die, worm!" Tomura screeched.

The decay ball pushed into Alyx's arms, his mind went blank, everything in front of him went black.

"𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯... 𝘗𝘢𝘱𝘢..." A younger Alyx's voice echoed.

Leonidus' eyes sparked to life, back into Infinite Mode as he screamed out in anger. The decay ball consumed him but quickly burst into minuscule pieces that spread out through the fortress, only decaying very small parts of it. Overdrive exploded around his body as he continued to scream out in anger. The entire planet was shaking down to its core, the symbols on Leonidus' body began to flicker as the pressure around him rose to even greater heights. Alyx's consciousness was suddenly pulled into the Plane, as he opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar man walking towards him.

"Alyx Leonidus, a pleasure to meet you, finally." He spoke up.

"What? Who are you?"

"My name is Inizio, curator of Overdrive, and first ever Quirk God. You, my boy, are my unknowing successor. Up until now, of course!"

"Quirk... God? And you're the first Overdrive user? I thought Chiyoko was!"

Inizio wagged his finger, "She may say that, but it's only to keep my identity a secret from All-Maker, considering I created the Seventh Plane! I've been waiting for this moment, Alyx. You are only the third user to access this Infinite Mode technique, but the second to be gifted my strength. You were never alone."

Inizio's markings covered most of his body, but instead of being a pulsating red, they were a bright royal blue. Amaterasu phased into view next to him, placing her hand on Alyx's cheek.

"You no longer need my protection, I'm afraid this is where my path ends, don't worry about me. Fight on, Alyx Leonidus! May this life treat you kindly, for my sacrifice is for you!"

Inizio place his hand on Leonidus' forehead, smiling at him as he faded into him.

"Save the world, Alyx Leonidus!" Inizio grinned.

"W-WAIT!"

Leonidus' consciousness returned to the outside world, Mikey and the others watched on as Alyx powered up even more! Swirling, hellish winds stormed the area as the markings on his body grew, the colors beginning to change to a royal blue. The symbols finally changed colors as Leonidus erupted once more, his hair had glowing blue streaks in it, alongside three long bangs protruding from his head. Midoriya landed down next to Mikey, awestruck at the display in front of him.

"Holy shit... That's..." Izuku muttered.

"Something feels different about him, that's for sure."

Leonidus took a deep breath in, staring Tomura down afterwards, Leonidus' eyes filled with nothing but Overdrive as he appeared in front of him. His fist slammed into Shigaraki's stomach, completely destroying the ground behind him! Tomura went flying backwards, bouncing off the ground. Alyx darted forward with incredible speed, ramming his foot into Shigaraki's stomach once more. He went flying into the air as sparks of Overdrive carried him upwards. Tomura shot out as many Air Cannon attacks as possible as Leonidus charged towards him, to his surprise, Leonidus didn't let up one bit! He went head first into Tomura's Air Cannon attack, shattering through it with ease! Alyx careened into Tomura's face, causing him to recoil backwards. Tomura rebounded with his Rivet Stab tendrils, sending hundreds of tendrils right into Leonidus!

The afterimage poofed out of thin air, Alyx had it foot reeled backwards and it slammed into the back of Tomura's head, sending him crashing into the ground. Shigaraki sent out his growing limbs at Leonidus, two rushed towards him instead of one. He took off towards Shigaraki as the attack followed him, he landed on the ground as the rampaging fingers came close, it shattered the ground he stood on. Further away from them, Sheyenne and Joshua were dealing with the giant muscular creature charging towards them. Karson tackled it, clawing at the creature, noticing a glowing red core in the center of it's neck.

"Joshua! It's got a weakpoint here!" Karson called out.

Joshua jumped into the air with both scythes held high, "Good! Then I'll just..."

"Expose it!" He continued.

Joshua's scythes slammed into the weakpoint, erupting hellflames from the cracks in the concrete. It shot out appendages at him, trying to pull him in, Sheyenne cut them off before they got to him. She drove her fist into the weakpoint, drilling it in further and further into it. Meanwhile, Mikey shot of dozens of blasts towards Tomura, accompanied by Izuku's Blackwhip. It pierced through parts of Shigaraki's body, smoke filled the area as Midoriya used the Sixth's Smokescreen Quirk. Langlitz darted in and out, striking Tomura in potential weakpoints of his own! Midoriya and Mikey ran side by side, lifting both of their legs up into the air, ramming them down onto Tomura's head.

"What do you all think you're gonna get out of this?!" Tomura screamed.

Leonidus thrust his arm right through Tomura's stomach, "Your death, that's what. You no longer belong in this world, Shigaraki."

Tomura hopped backwards away from the three, his stomach wound quickly regenerating, Alyx looked up at the sky with a plan.

"How long can you two distract him for?" Leonidus asked Izuku.

"My guess... Maybe 5 minutes or so before he notices."

"That's all I need!"

Alyx took off into the sky as Izuku and Mikey raced towards Shigaraki. He held both of his hands into the sky, small balls of Overdrive began combining into one. As the attack grew larger, All Might watched on with amazement, seeing a huge glowing blue ball of light above the floating fortress.

"Young Leonidus... T-That's... That's incredible!" All Might marveled.

"Looks like the fight is about to come to an end, thankfully." Naomasa remarked.

Leonidus looked up towards the sky and saw a gigantic amount of Overdrive above him. His hair fell to it's natural state, no longer glowing its ice white color. Alyx looked back down towards the ground, seeing that everyone was still fighting.

"EVERYONE MOVE! NOW!" Leonidus yelled.

Shigaraki looked up to the sky after using an Air Cannon to knock back Mikey and Izuku. An appendage shot towards Leonidus with a deadly ball of Decay, time stopped as Leonidus dodged out of the way, appearing behind Tomura. Alyx and Tomura clashed fists, they hopped back away from each other as they flew into the sky.

"Not using your Quirk? Are you tapped out? Quite the space you've made us, Alyx. Just you and me here... It's what I've always wanted! Do you think you're a match for us?" Shigaraki mocked.

"I thought I could help you, Tomura. I thought I could make you see things differently, but All For One has driven you so far off that path, that it's impossible for you to return. There's only one thing left to do now, unless..."

"Having second thoughts? If not, then let's do it, hero."

Leonidus' Hinokami Kagura sparked around him, "𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘪𝘧 𝘐'𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘍𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦, 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘮𝘦!"

Alyx charged into battle, ducking underneath Shigaraki's right hook, planting his fist into Tomura's face. The crack of his nose echoed throughout the area, he flipped over Shigaraki as he tried to grab him with his other hand. His back lit up with flames as Leonidus imitated his Clear Blue Sky technique using his arm. Appendages climbed out of the fresh wound in Tomura's back, they wrapped around him, only for Alyx to vanish. He looked up above him, seeing his coming down with his blade in the air, flames raining down from it.

"Hinokami Kagura... Sunset Sky!!" He screamed.

Tomura hardened his arms, coiling his muscles to attempt to stop Leonidus' broken blade. Leonidus clashed against his forearms, pushing down as hard as he could possibly push. He screamed out as he applied more and more pressure, until he broke through and sent Tomura crashing into the ground. Leonidus teleported back to the huge ball of Overdrive before time resumed once more. He noticed that everyone had moved out of the way, exhausted after defeating the husk.

"SUPER OVERDRIVE BOMB!!!" Leonidus roared.

As he chucked the attack to Tomura, a portal opened up in front of him, sucking it in and spitting it back out above the fortress. Another portal opened up behind Monoma and Aizawa, Kurogiri and Present Mic spilled out from it. Alyx watched in horror as that was his last-ditch attempt at defeating Shigaraki and All For One.

"Vanguard!" Mirio shouted.

Alyx looked towards where he heard Mirio, seeing his broken Nichirin Blade come flying towards him, he caught it then looked at Mirio once more. He subconsciously tapped into what Mirio what thinking.

"𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦, 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦..." He whimpered.

Suddenly, a smile filled with an unfathomable amount of hope came across Alyx's face, Tomura was scowling at him with anger and confusion.

"This is it, All For One!"

Alyx rose his blade high into the air, "This... This is the hopes of every living being on Earth! I'm the vessel that'll carry their dreams into the future! That's what it means to be me!"

The sword absorbed all of the Overdrive he had gathered, splitting the sky open, revealing the sun and a bright blue sky behind him. An arm of Overdrive flourished where his left arm was, grabbing onto the hilt of his blade. Leonidus' Demon Slayer Marking crackled across his face like a flame.

"Kurogiri! Stop him!" Tomura screamed.

Dozens of portals surrounded Alyx, thousands of hands reached for him, Alyx spiraled into the sky using his Beneficent Radiance form. He darted down towards Tomura, preforming all 13 forms of the Hinokami Kagura in much quicker, more rapid succession. Shigaraki surrounded himself in Rivet Stab Tendrils right as Alyx went in for a Fire Wheel. He quickly sidestepped Tomura as he burst them outward, sending them flying towards Alyx in shards.

"𝘋𝘰 𝘪𝘵, 𝘴𝘰𝘯!" Darren's voice echoed.

Leonidus' focus intensified even more than ever before, he disappeared before the tendril shards could hit him, he flew by and sliced right through Shigaraki's right arm. Present Mic and Aizawa had begun to distract Kurogiri while Monoma raced over to Leonidus and Shigaraki. Tomura had reached his boiling point, growing into a much greater monster than what he already was.

"WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND BOY?!?! THE VISION I HAVE FOR THIS WORLD IS GREATER THAN WHAT YOU CAN COMPREHEND!"

Alyx and Shigaraki clashed a few times before Shigaraki managed to trip Leonidus up. Right before he could pursue Alyx, a flash of light blinded him, Leonidus looked over to see that Monoma had copied Yaoyorozu's Quirk before the battle as well!

"The show can't be complete without its supporting cast, right?"

Alyx smiled at him before plunging his blade right into Tomura. Overdrive surrounded him, locking him in place, no matter how hard he struggled he could not break out.

"H-How... How is a child like you able to stand up to me?! A mere god!?"

"The vision you have is unjust, you're only in this for yourself, not for the people of this world! I wanna see everyone thrive... I have to see their smiles! It's not about image, the fame, any of that materialistic bullshit! I just want my friends and family to leave peacefully without worrying that they'll wake up to a war-torn homeland!"

Alyx's family began to grab the hilt of his sword, "That's why I have to prevail, I have to no matter what! Because if I don't, someone's future is at stake, I can't let that slide! Maybe I don't understand, but I don't fucking care! I'll be the blade that cuts through evil! I'll be the one... WHO GUIDES THEM TO THEIR DREAMS!!"

Leonidus' eyes filled with Overdrive as ghosts of his family screamed with him. His blade cut Tomura cleanly in half, shattering the ground beneath them as a huge pillar of Overdrive began to incinerate Shigaraki.

"DAMN IT!! DAMN YOU ALL!!"

The clouds in the sky disappeared, Alyx stood there, basking in the sunlight as he held onto his sword.

"I hope you're reborn as someone good someday... Tenko Shimura."

Alyx turned around to see Midoriya running towards him, Leonidus took one step forward and began to collapse, but Izuku caught him as he embraced Alyx. He groggily placed his hand on Izuku's back as he let out a dry laugh.

"S-Sorry... I couldn't save him. I know you wanted to-"

"He was too far gone, Alyx. I knew it was a far-fetched to think otherwise, but I wanted to believe that he was still in there, we were just too late."

Leonidus sat down next to Midoriya with the destroyed U.A. Building behind him. Izuku could tell that Alyx wanted to be happy but couldn't be after everything that happened.

"Hey, Amaterasu helped you out, didn't she?" Izuku asked.

"She did, I... I don't have anywhere to go now, all I have is you guys. So, once I graduate, I'm not sure what I'll do."

"What? What do you mean?"

"All For One used Star and Stripe's Quirk to erase my family, so that way there wouldn't be anyone else that could possibly stop him. Amaterasu sacrificed herself to give me more power even though I didn't want her to... I was so rude to Amaterasu, I wish I could apologize to her, all she was trying to do was make sure that I was okay."

Midoriya rested his arm on Alyx's shoulder, "You made up for it by accepting her help. She always mentioned that there'd be no greater honor than dying for you, Alyx."

Soon, the other students made their way up to the surface, Izuku rushed over to check on Katsuki as Momo ran over to Alyx, hugging him tightly as tears fell down her face.

"We did it... We really did it!" Momo sniffled joyfully.

"Yeah, we did."

Alyx looked behind him to see that Katsuki was alive and well, for the most part, having Izuku aid him over to Leonidus. Bakugo pushed himself off of Midoriya, stumbling towards him, Alyx quickly moved over and hugged him.

"Alyx? I-Is that you?" A woman called out.

Leonidus looked back behind him, he gasped shakily as he saw the people standing before him, Bakugo stopped hugging him as he took a couple steps forward. His breathing grew shakier as his lip quivered; tears filled his eyes as he realized who they were.

"MOM! DAD! EVERYONE!!" Alyx bawled.

Leonidus frantically got up and ran towards them as tears fell down his face. They all embraced him as he fell into them.

"It really is you! Mikaboshi kept you safe!" Daniela sobbed.

Alyx looked up at Daniela, realizing that they weren't the family from this reality, but from his very own! He cried even harder after realizing that Amaterasu brought them back for him.

"...𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦, 𝘈𝘭𝘺𝘹. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘺, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥." Leonidus remembered her words.

"My baby boy! Thank God you're alive... Thank God..." Marie sniffled.

Mikey watched on, wiping a single tear from his eye, Sheyenne wiped tears from her eyes as well.

"A-Are you crying?" Sheyenne lamented.

"W-What?! N-No... I just got dust in my eye."

"Pffft... Yeah, you're crying." Joshua smirked.

"SHUT UP!"

Midoriya walked over to the Leonidus', smiling at them as Alyx stopped crying, tears still in his eyes.

"Thank you, Alyx, for being here." Izuku smiled warmly.

Leonidus got up and hugged him, "Thank you for making me feel like I never left, Izuku."

Tears began to show in Izuku's eyes as he chuckled, he patted Alyx's back, exhaling with the sound of relief.

"So, what now? Besides cleaning up this mess of course." Annie wondered.

Alyx stopped hugging Izuku, a bright smile appeared on his face once again, one that hadn't been seen in months.

"We can finally start smiling again, for real this time!" He laughed.

Kariya walked over and hugged his brother tightly once more, "I'm glad you aren't dead, kiddo. I truly am."

The war between Heroes and Villains had stopped, all thanks to the boy from another reality, Alyx Leonidus. A portal suddenly opened up behind them, All-Maker stepped out from it, looking over at Alyx.

"All-Maker? Don't tell me..." Endeavor huffed.

"Ah, I'm only here to collect him, nothing more. His time has come."

"WHAT?!" Everyone shouted.

Alyx turned towards everyone else, "Remember how I'm not from this reality? I guess it finally caught up to me, I just wish it was a lot later than now, though. I just had one day left, and this was it."

"I'll let you say your goodbyes, Alyx. Just hurry up, would you? I don't want my pudding to get warm. It tastes terrible warm!" All-Maker told him.

He walked up to Yaoyorozu and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Giving everyone hugs and or kisses, until he walked up to Mikey, he stared down at him.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye, friend. Thank you, Mikey. I went up and died after all, huh?"

"You're thanking me? I should be thanking you, Alyx, for everything. I'll... I'll take care of them for you."

"No need to thank me, I loved every minute of it all. Thank you once again, Mikey, goodbye."

Before he left, he felt a tug at his kimono, Alyx saw Eri with tears in her eyes. His heart sunk to his stomach.

"Mr. Leonidus? Where are you going?"

"I... I'm going away for a little while, that's all."

"Do you have to go? Can't you stay here? My Mommy and Daddy went away too, but they haven't come back, you aren't going away like them, right?"

Alyx bit his tongue as he tried not to cry, "N-No, Eri. I promise I'll be back, it's just a little trip is all, I'll be back to read you stories in no time!"

He knelt down to hug Eri, gritting his teeth as the tears broke through, Izuku picked Eri up and she waved at Leonidus. The heroes watched as Alyx's Overdrive trailed into the portal behind him, his being slowly fading away, Leonidus looked back behind him and smiled. He finally vanished alongside All-Maker and the portal, leaving his peers standing there quietly. A couple days later, Leonidus was floating around Japan, alongside All-Maker and his assistant.

"So, I can do this whenever I want? I'm basically a ghost now?"

"Indeed, unless you wish to embark on the trial to return to this plane of existence."

"I think they'll be alright without me. Besides, it's not like they'll get over it, they were scared of my Quirks after all. Not to mention nobody was really there for me anyway."

All-Maker nodded at him, "That's an interesting take on your life, Leonidus. How about you check things out from this perspective?"

Leonidus looked around him to see a huge funeral procession taking place for him at U.A. from the distance. Alyx flew over towards U.A. as All-Maker vanished, a powerful scent of misery hit his nostrils as he floated above his own casket. Katsuki slammed his fist down on it as he cried.

"This isn't fuckin' fair! You promised me a rematch after the festival, remember?! Come on, pull some stupid shit like you normally do, please!"

Alyx looked to his right to see Momo crying uncontrollably into Marie's arms, she too was sobbing, hundreds of people were there. The people he saved in Jaku City, the woman and her child from the farmstead, the Pillars of Hope, everyone. Endeavor patted Shoto's back as he was leaned forward, trying not to burst out in tears.

"I... I didn't..." Alyx mumbled.

He realized just how much of an impact he had on everyone's lives. As the sun set, he sat atop the U.A. High building, All-Maker appeared next to him. He stood behind him as Alyx didn't bother to look behind him.

"So, what's on your mind?"

"Can you send me back, please?"

"What's with the change of mind? I figured you were comfortable with being erased?"

"I've... I've seen much today. I wanna go home."

All-Maker began to open up a portal, "We'll talk about it later, Alyx. You've got much to learn about."

[Several Days Later...]

Izuku sat next to Katsuki as he rested in his hospital bed, Bakugo looked over at him, noticing that he held a piece of Leonidus' blade.

"You didn't have to go if you were still hurt, you know that, right?" Izuku asked.

"I did. Everything he's done, I... Fuck... What are we going to do, Izuku?"

"I don't know, Kacchan. I don't."

The two sat in silence once more, Midoriya stared at his reflection in Alyx's now black colored Nichirin Blade piece. Katsuki looked out towards the window, seeing the bright blue sky, thinking of Alyx.

"It's a lot emptier now, you know? Do you think he'll come back?" Midoriya wondered.

"I hope he does, I really- What the hell?!"

A huge portal opened up in the sky, "SHUT UP ALREADY! J-JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!"

The booming voice shot out an object towards Katsuki's hospital room, with blinding speed, it crashed through the window and went headlong the wall by his bed. The boy pulled himself out and spat bits of drywall out of his mouth.

"Hey guys! Almost long time no see?" Alyx greeted.

"A-Alyx?!" Izuku and Katsuki exclaimed.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were 'dead'?" Midoriya questioned.

"So, it turns out, talking to a deity 24/7 really does wonders! He allowed me to come back under the pretense of 'no single Creator God should or needs to be exposed to me under any circumstance'. Isn't that something?"

Katsuki pointed at his still missing left arm, "And the stupid fuck didn't even give you back your arm? Cheap bastard... Are ya gonna heal it up?"

"Soon, at least I hope so anyway, I'm just glad I'm back. Being my family is still getting used to being in Japan, they'll have to learn Japanese and... I guess you know how it'll go. Are you alright, Bakugo? Your face got pretty messed up there."

"Of course. But uh... Leonidus, thank you for saving me. If you weren't around, I would've been dead, at least, I think. My arm won't be good for a while considering it's shattered to all hell."

"Don't mention it, please. I would've risked my life for any of you. If anything, Edgeshot was the one who truly saved you from what I've heard. We're all grateful for what he did."

Alyx's phone began to ring, he got up after saying goodbye to Bakugo and Izuku, when he left the room he answered it.

"Back from the dead? I knew that couldn't even hold you down." Hawks chuckled.

"How'd you know I was back?"

"I dunno, that huge portal in the sky, not to mention Fourth Gear's frantic in all caps text saying you've returned immediately after."

"Oh, I see. Wait, how do you have my sister's number?"

Hawks looked over at Mirko, "Yeah, I uh... Anyways, come outside really quick. I've got a surprise for you."

"A surprise? Okay, I'll be out in a bit."

Leonidus made his way out of the hospital, seeing not only Hawks, but Endeavor, Mirko, Best Jeanist, and the President of the HPSC standing in front of him.

"Young man, what you've done has saved billions of lives, and secured a safe future for everyone on this planet. We, alongside the entirety of the HPSC, would like to honor you by building a statue of you in the middle of town." The President of the HPSC told him.

"I-I'd be incredibly honored, ma'am, but... I'm not deserving of one. Everyone else here put their lives on the line, if I get one, then they all should as well."

"Vanguard..." Endeavor spoke up.

Leonidus looked up at him, "Endeavor, you don't need to thank me, none of you need to thank me as a matter of fact. The reason we beat All For One was because of the sacrifices we all made. But please, the reason why I don't want you to thank me is because I didn't get here on my own, I've always gotten help from someone else. I'm just grateful that you all are standing here in front of me."

Mirko stepped forward and handed him a cape, it was torn in some spots, but they had recovered Star and Stripe's cape. Alyx held it close to him as he smiled at Mirko.

"Thank you for giving this to me. If that's all you guys wanted to tell me, I'll let you all get back to work." Alyx continued.

Alyx returned into the hospital, heading up to Jiro's room, he knocked on the door before entering.

"Hey, Jiro, how're you feeling?" He smiled.

"Alyx, you're...? Never mind, I'm not even going to question it. I've felt better since you know... I'm missing my other earphone jack, but I'll have to live with it. Are you okay?"

"Not really, no, after what Amaterasu did I... But I'm more concerned about you guys than myself. Speaking of earphone jack, I've got something for you!"

Leonidus pulled an almost lifelike one out of a small case he had, "Ta-da! I asked Melissa to whip this up for me just for you! It'll be like you never lost it in the first place."

"Alyx, you didn't have to do that, you know? Thank you so much."

"Yeah, but it's the least I can do. Here, let me help you put it on, it's kind of a difficult thing to do by yourself."

He sat down next to Jiro, she brushed her hair away from her ear, Alyx carefully placed it where her earlobe was.

"There we go! Just like new!" Alyx chirped.

"Huh, it feels almost identical to it, I can even move it around! That Melissa girl's pretty bright."

After conversing with Jiro for a bit, he stepped out of her room, All Might was standing in front of him. The two stared at each other for a bit, All Might warmly smiled at him as he embraced Leonidus.

"You're one of the greatest heroes I've ever known, Young Leonidus."

"It's because of you, All Might, that's why!"

All Might's embrace slightly tightened as his tears dampened Leonidus' shoulder.

"I'm so grateful that you all are alive, I truly am."

"Thank you, All Might."

Alyx looked down at Star and Stripe's cape, "Hey, All Might, did you know anyone by the name of Cathleen?"

"Cathleen? Hmm... I'm not too sure, why don't you tell me about her?"

"Okay! She was like, the greatest hero in America! To be honest, she modeled herself after you, I guess I shouldn't be surprised since you used to be a Hero in America too."

As All Might and Leonidus walked down the corridor, All Might smiled as Alyx rambled on about his teacher. He noticed the blaring resemblance between him and Midoriya.

"𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘦." All Might thought.

[Several Hours Later...]

Later that night, Leonidus sat in his room at his old home, his sister was downstairs doing her normal nightly routine. His door slowly opened, Liz walked into his room, clearly startled from something.

"Aly, I had a nightmare... Momma and Papa are already asleep, c-can I sleep in here with you?" Liz sniffled.

"Of course, Liz, come here."

Liz climbed up on his bed, snuggling up to him with her stuffed giraffe, he rubbed her back and noticed that she was fast asleep. A smile on was her face, Leonidus shook his head and lightly chuckled at her.

"You just wanted to go to bed in my room, didn't you?" Leonidus warmly spoke.

He looked over at the acoustic guitar sitting next to his bed, he picked it up and began to play it, each chord was played softly. Alyx reminisced over the journey he had gone through. Leonidus eventually stopped playing the guitar, quietly placing it down next to his bed, and finally heading to bed.

[Several Months Later...]

The cleanup of Japan was extensive, so much so, that the Second Year for Class A was delayed! People had begun to resume their normal lives, which meant new foes lurked around every corner, and with new foes... Meant even more new adventures!

"HAAAAAH!!" Alyx roared.

Leonidus and Mikey clashed fists, the water around them rose up high into the sky! The two smiled at each other as they continued to fight, hitting each other with everything they had.

"Giving up?!" Mikey taunted.

"Not unless you do!"

Yaoyorozu, Jiro, Ikari, and Denki watched on as everyone else hung around the massive private resort.

"Might I say, thank you, Ikari! I had no idea you were from a wealthy family!" Yaoyorozu chirped.

"I wasn't."

"Oh... Then who's was it?"

Alyx nearly crash landed into the private resort island, "O-Okay! That was a close one!"

"What's wrong? Scared that a little island is gonna get in the way?" Mikey laughed.

"No! I think we went a little too far in the first place!"

Mikey looked behind him, noticing that most of the water was still in the air, it finally came crashing down to the surface. Most of the water came splashing down on Katsuki and the others! Leonidus nervously laughed as he smiled at an approaching, angered Bakugo.

"I fuckin' swear Izuku, I'm gonna wring his fuckin' neck, I swear!" Bakugo fumed.

"T-Take it easy, Kacchan! Please! Your arm isn't well enough yet!"

As things settled down, the class all sat around each other, wondering about their future at U.A.

"So, I'm assuming we're still out of school until further notice? What gives?" Jiro wondered.

Alyx crossed his arms as he stood next to Momo, "Good question, If I remember right, they're still repairing a lot of the major cities. There're loads of people still moving into their new homes! U.A.'s still being remodeled too."

"That begs the question then, what's next for all of us?" Tokoyami asked.

Everyone sat there in thought until Leonidus perked up with an answer of his own.

"I guess what's really next for me is that the Authority is still out there. Since Tartarus was destroyed, Gorgophone's been let loose, not to mention I haven't heard a peep from Black-Heart and Jax. With those three still out and about, it could really reign in a lot more disasters. Not to mention All For One is still roaming about as well." Leonidus answered.

"Can't your parents and siblings handle that? What about Amatsu? Couldn't he erase them?" Kaminari suggested.

"Amaterasu sacrificed herself to save me. In return, she prevented me from being erased from this reality, and brought my family back. I've gotta show her that I can do things on my own. She's done more than enough for me!" Alyx told him.

"Well, that's- Wait, she?" Momo restated.

"Yeaaaah... I guess I forgot to tell you guys, Amatsu Mikaboshi was just a false form she took. At least, that's what she told me, but she was the Sun Goddess! Kind of ironic given that I've been taught my Hinokami Kagura technique!" Leonidus confirmed.

In the distance, thunder rung off, the students all looked over towards where they heard it. A nasty looking storm was brewing over a distance island.

"Geez, that storm looks like hurricane material! Is that lightning purple too?" Mina remarked.

"That's odd. There's never been storms like that over here." Ikari chimed in.

"Huh, that is pretty interesting. I ain't no meteorologist but that looks like quite the storm! We should probably get going." Kirishima added.

[Two Hours Later...]

Yaoyorozu and Leonidus were at the newly rebuilt Kiyashi Shopping Mall, the mall itself was much larger than before. Momo stood in front of Alyx, clearly flabbergasted at the shirt he had shown her.

"Absolutely not." Momo told him.

"Awww, come on! It'd be funny! Pleeeeeeease?"

The shirt in question had "Future DILF" written in English. As they bought what they wanted and left the shop, Momo had a look similar to a tired mother as Alyx had the shirt on. Alyx looked over to see Momo glancing over at him as well.

"Hm? Got something on your mind?" Alyx wondered.

"You're like a child, you know that? You buy the weirdest things!"

"But those weird things are what make me a 'Quirked Up White Boy' according to Kaminari."

"T-They... Never say that again please."

The two made their way to the food court, after they got their things, they sat down at a table. She looked over to see that his left arm had been restored.

"Hey, you got your arm back." She realized.

"Did you just notice? Annie healed it up once we landed that huge flying fortress. I've been at home a lot recently; I think you might know why!"

"Question, I overheard Midoriya talking about how you managed to get sent back here by All-Maker. What exactly were you talking to him about?"

"Do you really wanna know?"

"Of course!"

Alyx looked over at her with a blank, emotionless stare, "Your thighs."

Momo sat there for a few seconds, making sure what she just heard was correct and not something out of her imagination.

"I... I'm not really sure what to say to that."

"I figured as much!"

Alyx stopped chuckling as he saw someone staring at him from a different table, the man sitting there looked oddly familiar to him. The sharply dressed man got up with a drink in his hand and set it down in front of Leonidus.

"Here's this for you, World Saver." The man faked a pleasant smile.

He left the food court, disappearing in the crowd of people, Alyx lifted up the drink to see writing on the napkin it sat on. It said "𝙄'𝙢 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪", Yaoyorozu glanced up at Alyx who was still looking at the napkin.

"Looks like I've got someone else to worry about." Leonidus noted.

[Later that night...]

Momo was fast asleep in Leonidus' bed; he stayed up wondering who exactly it was staring at him earlier in the day. There was a flash outside of his balcony door, he turned around to see Rei standing outside with her phone, taking pictures of him. She waved at him as if nothing was wrong. Leonidus slid open his door and shook his head at Rei.

"What are you doing? Why are you taking pictures of me?" Alyx quietly wondered.

"I'm just adding more to my collection! I've got over a thousand so far~"

Alyx simply stared at Rei, questioning why fate has bestowed him a friend like her.

Leonidus sighed and slightly laughed at her, "You're something else you know that? How's your throat doing?"

"Why? You need it?"

"What?"

Rei silently stared at Leonidus, he slowly nodded at her before returning back to his room. He waved at Rei before closing his curtains, Alyx sighed as he went back to bed, Yaoyorozu rolled over towards him. Leonidus smiled as he finally was at peace for the first time in a while.
