42 One question...

Look at the author's note.

All Might ended the call, giving the phone to a nearby police officer.

"Let's go!" The symbol of hope said.

A few seconds later, every hero participating in the operation, were ready to strike.

Smashing through the wall of the villain base, All Might appeared midst their conversation with Bakugou, the iconic smile on his face.

The members of the League of Villains did not have any time to react, even less to counter the attack as they were swiftly captured between Kamui Woods'.

"You can't run away villain alliance... Why? Because we are here!" All Might declared as more force came through the door and the big hole inside the wall.

Edgeshot appeared from a small crack in the door and explained the situation to the villains.

"Surrender. We won't do the same error this time. We had the place surrounded by skilled heroes."

The villain with grayish-blue hair did not seem to lose any hope as he suddenly called for his colleague.

"Kurogiri. Bring as many of them here as you can!" He commanded, ready to use the chaos that the monsters were going to create to escape or fight back.

Unfortunately for him, the chaos he awaited and the noumus never came.

"I'm sorry Shigaraki Tomura... the noumus that should be at the designated location aren't there?!"

"Wha-!"

"You still are a green-horn Shigaraki!" All Might commented.

"Eh?" Was the only song which left the villain's mouth as he probably guessed what happened.

"You underestimated the diligent investigation of the police and... our fury!

It ends here Shigaraki Tomura!"

-*-*-

Nobody noticed a figure shoot through the night's clouds since it was moving at blinding speeds.

At this height, the winds and temperature were shockingly low. However, Kotei was moving without any worry at all, the flames appearing on his body occasionally, keeping his body at tolerable levels.

"If All Might's intuition is right, the League of Villain's big boss should be here too. I should be able to go all out against him." A small smirk came to his face, his gaze locked in front of him.

He was already imagining the fight between him and the rumored symbol of Evil.

Kotei was actually excited to see his own full power.

His thoughts and fantasies were cut short as a buzzing sound came to his ear, indicating that the device he asked Mei Hatsume to make received radio signals.

Our main character stopped flying and stood midair, ready to hear the message received.

At this height, he should not receive any frequencies.

"Mayday. Mayday. Here the pilot of the airplane 667-a. Our two engines blew up. We are currently falling at this coordinates XX-XX-XX. We will do our best to plane the greatest distance possible but we will crash in the city below..."

Kotei then stopped the device as he already spotted the falling plane in the distance.

His figure exploded forward and reach the plane in a few seconds.

Immediately, his gaze landed on the smoking engines from each side of the plane as he frowned, noticing something.

'I am no expert, but it does not look like an accident.' He internally commented, his eyes sweeping on the clean-cut across the engines.

'No use thinking about that now anyways.'

Kotei's left hand move toward the plane, the next second the plane visibly slowed down before completely stopping a few seconds later.

The passengers stopped yelling in fright, feeling the pressure they felt for the last few minutes vanishing altogether.

"Mom! Look it's a hero!" A little boy, no older than 6, tugged his mother with one hand, the other busy pointing at Kotei standing in the air, a few meters from the windows.

Frantically moving his arms toward him, he saw Kotei's eyes noticing him and finally looking back.

Kotei lightly smiled at the kid then proceeded to accompany the plane to the nearer airport.

A minute or so later, Kotei put down the plane on the wheels that the pilot and co-pilot lowered.

Feeling the plane finally on the ground, the pilots and passengers erupted in cheer, praying to every god they knew for sending Kotei on their way.

However, their cheers stopped when the plane's roof suddenly had an enlarging hole from which their hero floated in.

They all looked at him as if he was some sort of god.

The moon above his figure coupled with his handsome looks and the cape lightly floating behind him gave him an unmatched charm.

Contrary to what they may think, Kotei did not come to them because he wanted to be admired.

Someone purposely damaged the plane. The chances that the guilty was in the plane were low, but it was still worth the shot.

Unconsciously, his gaze scanning the passengers brought them warm as they thought that he was simply seeing if no one was injured. However, to a certain criminal Kotei's cold eyes were giving him a frightening amount of pressure.

Panicking, one man ran toward a woman and grabbed her, his left arm morphing into a sharp blade.

"Don't move! I- I only wanted to show the extent of the Meta Liberati-"

Unfortunately for him, nobody ever heard the end of his sentence as he was brought on his knees by an invisible force, pressing on him.

"What kind of bullshit are you spouting?" Kotei asked rhetorically, increasing the gravitational force upon the villain. The woman was unharmed thanks to the flawless control of Kotei.

The woman now free ran toward her child, hugging him closely.

The villain finally fainted, not being able to resist any longer. At this point, a lot of his bones were broken and his left arm reverted to normal.

Once getting sure that everything here was alright, Kotei quickly left, flying at a much higher speed toward the last position All Might gave him.

-*-*-

The part of the city hosting the fight between the two symbols was in ruins.

Destroyed buildings and roads were almost everywhere.

A great number of citizens were trying to escape the ruins, they were helped by the few heroes who arrived on the scene.

All Might and All for One were still exchanging punches, the sheer strength behind the impact of their hits was shaking the earth and blowing sand and dust everywhere.

A well-placed hit from AFO sent All Might flying through the air, toward a helicopter just above.

Thankfully Gran Torino watched him before the tragedy could happen.

The fight then resumed with All Might losing more ground after each second.

"I want you to die as unsightly and gruesome a death as possible!" AFO said, charging a big attack in what arm.

"Dodge it then coun-" Gran Torino began to advise All Might but his voice was cut by AFO's.

"Should you be dodging, I wonder?"

All Might's eyes spotted a child behind him, stuck in the rubbles of the collapsed buildings.

"I will take away that which you have worked to protect." AFO declared.

Immediately, he released the attack.

It destroyed everything in its path. Everything besides the standing All Might and what was behind him.

"Let's begin with that pride of yours."

All Might's true form was made public. His frail and thin appearance replacing the image of the strong and smiling All Might.

"Though my body may rot away and decline... my spirit remains! I am still the symbol of peace!"

Laughing at his words, AFO, clapped his hands a few times.

"Magnificient! I had forgotten how much of a stubborn little child you were. However, I still got something to tell you...

Shigaraki Tomura is-"

"One question." A third voice butted in their conversation.

AFO hurriedly turned around to 'look' at his new opponent.

The man was floating a few meters in the air, cape fluttering in the wind and arms crossed in his chest.

A frightening smirk on his face as he gazed at Japan's most powerful villain as if he was but a funny pet.

"Do you believe in gravity?" The smile on his face enlarging even more.
