Chapter 4: Underground Masquerade
Author: Geraint
(Mc's POV)
In the middle of the road to Osaka,
I was riding on a bike with incredible speed while All Might is running on my side.
The two of us are competing who will arrive first in the chaotic caused by the villains rampaging around.
"All Might, I just have something to ask?"
"Oh, what is it?"
"Why are you carrying a pillow with you?"
When he noticed the pillow in his arm,
"Ah! I forgot! I was about to sleep when they called me out!"
...
"Anyway, let's save as many as possible."
"I think you shouldn't because you don't have hero license, Captain Falcon. There should already pro heroes dispatch over there and they might try to catch you."
"Well, I wonder if they can... summoning you over there to fix the mess shows that how completely useless they are."
"Captain Falcon... you really are terrible..."
"Hurry up, I think that guy is involved to this. He will have time to escape if we arrived late."
"Whom are you talking about?"
"You'll know soon enough. I have my own Intel in the shadows after all. I won't let that kind of bigger fish to escape out of my sight."
...
All Might was silent.
---
Arriving at the scene at the same time,
"Ha~ Ha ha ha ha! Ha~ Ha ha ha ha!"
All the people glanced towards our direction and they smiled, seeing hope with their eyes.
"It's fine now... Why? Because I am here!"
All Might made his signature entrance with a grin.
"All Might!"
"Wait! Isn't that!"
When they noticed me beside him,
"Captain Falcon?"
"What?! All Might and Captain Falcon are together?"
"The two best heroes are here!"
"Those villains are screwed!"
Parking my bike on the sidelines,
"We don't have time! All Might, I leave everything to you here!"
*Smash!*
"Ugh!"
All Might just punched one of the villains and knocked him out.
"Where are you going?"
"Like I said, I have a bigger fish to catch."
"Bounty hunting?"
"Hahaha! Yeah, you know me."
I immediately dashed away.
*Smash!*
All Might knocked out another villain.
While running passing through the rampaging the villains, they were destroying anything on their path senselessly.
I guess they were mind controlled and I noticed that all of them are wearing mask.
Following where they coming from, I arrived on a parking structure connected to a shopping district in the middle of the city.
I frowned seeing villains wearing a mask coming out of the building.
"All-for-one... I finally found you."
I immediately rushed towards the villains and jumped high,
My right foot blazed in flame giving them a flying kick.
"Falcon Kick!"
*Thud!*
All of them was sent flying crashing to the ground and cars.
"Captain Falcon?"
I noticed some police surrounding the building but I ignored them and fought the villains as I immediately entered the building,
Following inside, I arrived in the underground part of the building.
I saw three people fighting against a bigger monster wearing a hood.
All of them are wearing a mask.
Two of them are bulky man while other one is a girl wearing a school uniform.
I can't recognize other two but the girl looks familiar to me because of her big strong legs.
She has an athletic build with muscular arms and legs, who stands slightly below average height. She has dark skin, red eyes which are tilted slightly inwards, long eyelashes, and straight white hair that reach down past her waist. On her head, she has a pair of long white rabbit ears pointing upwards with a slight crook. Along with these, she also has a white round tail, which gives her overall design a definite resemblance to an albino rabbit.

When they noticed me arrive,
"Captain Falcon?"
Seeing their opponent,
"There's no mistake. That's a Noumu."
"Ha ha ha ha ha! Finally! A worthy opponent! Come here and fight me!"
Looking around, I walked forward towards the Noumu.
"Captain Falcon, Be careful! Our opponent is--"
"I know..."
The Noumu took his fighting stance and threw a jab.
His arm elongated,
*Peeeewww!*
I just caught his fist with my right hand.
"What?! My strength!"
I pulled him towards me as all of his combined quirk in his body was nullify.
I dashed forward and performed a fire imbued left uppercut.
*Ugh!*
The Noumu was stunned then I followed with overhand right punch infused with fire making a shape of a falcon.
"Falcon Punch!"
*Peeeewww!* *Boom!!!*
The Noumu crashed through the walls engulfed in flames.
"Wow! Nice punch, my brother. That was amazing!"
The rugged big man said to me in excitement.
He's a very large, muscular man with long, light brown hair. He wears a tattered t-shirt and dark pants decorated with two belts.
He has a crudely fashioned gloves, consisting of simple plating bound by sports tape.
"Anyway, my name is Rappa. Nice to meet you, Captain Falcon."
The other man walked towards my side showing his pro hero license then he took off his mask.
"Captain Falcon, my name is Iwao Iguro. I'm the Pro Hero High-Speed Hero: O'Clock. I disguised myself to infiltrate this place."
"Oh... I think you guys better escape from this place. That guy is coming here for me."
"What? I'm not scared."
The bunny girl in highschool uniform responded.
That guy is caused this to collect some quirks.
Suddenly, a black mist appeared in front of us and a man with strong, imposing features, short white hair, and luminous red eyes, wearing a dark suit over a white shirt.
His menacing presence is enough to make the three people beside me to be intimidated.
(Img<<<)
"All-for-one..."
"Captain Falcon! You've been a big obstacle to my plans this several years. You caught most my subordinates and sent them to prison for bounty. I guess I have to deal with you quickly while All Might is occupied."
"Looks like, you're underestimating. You'll regret it later."
"Captain Falcon, you're not a pro hero, right? You can call me Mirko. That's my hero name."
Even though I can see that she's trembling but she was not backing down seeing the strongest villains.
"You guys should retreat quickly as possible. He's not someone you should be facing."
All for One pointed his palm towards us as his arm became bulkier.
He shoots a very powerful shockwave towards our direction.
*Boom!* *Peeeewww!*
I nullify his attack with my right arm.
Mirko and others are completely shock when I stopped all for one's attack.
"So... you have a quirk that nullifies any quirk that thrown against you. You're really the biggest obstacle to me together with the symbol of peace."
I rushed towards him.
"Falcon..."
"Tch!"
He clicked his tongue as he jumped backwards and the ground below suddenly move and blocked my path, creating a wall.
"Punch!"
*Peeeewww!* *Crash!*
The wall was pulverized.
My eyes widened in surprise when I saw him below me with his palm at my chest.
He shoots another shockwave but I was able to immediately tilt my upper body to the side and dodge his concentrated attack.
*Boom!*
His attack put a large hole in the ceiling.
"Gu hahaha ha! As expected, you might be able to nullify any quirk but your body is still vulnerable to any attack. I concluded that you have to use right arm to nullify the quirk. I found the biggest weakness of yours."
"Well... who cares?"
I swung my right arm hitting him down but he immediately crossed his arm to cover his head.
His arm became hardened.
*Thud!*
He was only pushed away as he blocked my attack.
"Don't forget that I am here, Old man!"
"Let's beat him up!"
Mirko and Rappa from behind me and attack All for One together.
Rappa threw several highspeed punches and Mirko jumped high, kicking All for one on the head.
"Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!"
"Take this!"
"Get away from me!"
All for one release a very powerful shockwave and Mirko together with Rappa was thrown away.
"Ugh!"
"Aaaahhhh!"
I caught Mirko in my arms while Rappa crashed on Iguro.
"Ugh... I'm not finished yet!"
Mirko tried to get off of me but I held on her tightly.
She was severely hurt and I noticed she was bleeding on her side. I glanced at Rappa and he was unconscious and wounded on his tummy
"Iguro-san, please take them outside."
I passed Mirko and let Iguro carry her on his arm.
"What about you?"
"I'll face him myself."
"Wait! I can still fight! Let go of me!"
Mirko struggled not minding her injury.
I just patted her in the head, smiling at her.
"Mirko, it's not your time yet. You're still a highschool student and someday, you will graduate and become a great pro hero just like All Might."
As I turned around, facing All for One.
"Even something happens to me later, someone will inherit the will of fire and take my place to protect people."
I'm saying anything that just comes to my mind and it's cringey. But that's should be enough to convince her.
"Captain Falcon..."
"Go!"
"Yes! I want to give you the best of luck!"
Iguro ran away carrying Mirko and others.
"Captain Falcon! Promise me that you will come back safely or I'll kick the shit out of you, did you hear me?!"
When they disappeared in the distance,
*Sigh*
I sighed,
"Yare yare daze. What a unruly girl..."
Grinning at All for one as my right fist burst in flames,
"With no one getting in my way. Let's finish this, All for one!"
"I'll send you to hell, Captain Falcon."
All for one's right arm became bulkier again, making his fist bigger but this time, it has multiple spikes and drills around his hardened fist.
It was combination of multiple quirks.
The two of us charged at each other throwing our fist.
"Falcon..."
"Die, Captain Falcon!"
"Punch!"
*Peeeewww!*
Our fist collides and our attack cancelled each other while I nullify all of his quirk.
"Eat this! Huh?"
Something hit my chest,
"Ugh!"
I spitted out some blood.
He sneakily shoot a concentrated from his other hand and hit my chest without me noticing.
But that won't be enough to take me down.
I jumped, kneeing him on the face infused with lightning.
"Knee of justice!"
"Arrghh!"
Then I followed by a blinding fast series of punches.
"Haaah!"
I released my most powerful punch but it was infuse with lightning.
"Falcon Punch!"
*Peeeewww!* *Boom!!*
He was launched away breaking through multiple walls.
"Ugh..."
When the smoke disappeared, I saw him weakly standing up.
Wiping up the blood on my mouth
"I don't have enough time. All Might is coming..."
He grinned.
"Gu hahahaha!"
"What's funny?" I asked.
"I've been thinking how will I defeat you with my different quirks, but it was futile."
"Then, what now?"
I felt something strange.
When I saw a black mist appearing behind him,
"Kurogiri?"
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
I heard several explosion in the building and the ground shook intensely.
"Goodbye, Captain Falcon-What?!"
I immediately dashed forward and grabbed him before he can escape.
I pulled him away from the black mist.
"Let go of me!"
He tried to use his quirk against me but it was futile and he can't use any of it because nullifying ability.
"Kurogiri! Hurry up and take me!"
"Master!"
Lifting All for One up,
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
The building started to crumbled down because of several explosions.
"All for One! It seems that hell is a fate we both share!"
"Raaaaah! I will not die here, nor will my goal!"
As I threw him up then I swung my right fist with all of my strength,
"FALCON... PUNCH!"
My fist hit him in the face.
"WAAAAAAAHH!!!" he made his last scream.
*BOOOOOOOM!!!*
The bright light caused by the large explosion shrouded my vision and everything turned blank.
---
"Ugh!"
When my consciousness returned.
"Hey! There's a buried little boy here under the rumble!"
"What?! How is he?"
"Don't worry, he seems to be safe and unscathed."
"Eh?! How is that possible? We are here in the destroyed building where the large explosion happened!"
"Idiot! We just have to thankful that he's safe!"
"Ah, sorry about that... You're right. It's better that he's safe."
When I opened my eyes, my vision was still blurry and I saw two silhouette of people helping me.
"Leave this to me..."
"All Might?!"
I saw the figure of All Might taking out from the pile of rumble.
He was carrying me in his arm like some father.
As we walked out from the destroyed building, he stopped and glanced above.
"I'm sorry, my friend. I was too late."
Those words came out from his mouth.
"Huh?"
As my vision became clearer, I noticed a lot of people crying while looking at the pile of rumble.
All Might put me down and the medical team took me to the ambulance.
Suddenly, he was surrounded by media, wanting to interview him.
Well... like I care.
"Farewell, Captain Falcon. You may rest in peace."
"Huh?"
I was surprised by what he said in the media.
