Chapter 27 - 27

All For One appeared in front of Izuku in the darkness. "Now it's your turn!" He said, smirking. Suddenly, the ground beneath him vanished, and he fell through the memory of the battle that had turned Japan into a lawless country. Bakugo jumped into the air, and pushed him out of the way, getting impaled with black and red spikes. Then, Tomura appeared in front of him, and he froze from fear. "You won't be able to save anyone now!" He shouted, and gripped Izuku's wrist, making him turn to dust. "Everyone will DIE!" His eyes flew open, and one of his hands shot out as he sat up, releasing Blackwhip as he started panting and shivering from cold sweat. He could see All .ight in front of him. Blackwhip inches away from his face. He came to Izuku's side, and placed a gentle, comforting hand on his shoulder. "Its ok, we've taken care of Himiko and the kidnapper. You're in the hospital, safe and sound. And we all know you're the real you now." He noticed he was in a hospital bed, with bandages covering parts of his body, and a blanket covering him from the waist down. He realized he hadn't put Blackwhip away, too, and then did that, now holding his head in his hands. "I take it you had a nightmare?" All Might asked gently, sitting beside him on the bed on the bed, still holding his shoulder. Izuku made some room for him. "Y-yeah. How did you-" "You talk in your sleep, kid. So, All For One and Tomura, huh?" He just nodded. "All For One said it was my turn now. Then the ground disappeared and u fell through the battle that turned Japan lawless. I saw Kacchan get impaled with those spikes again. Then Tomura appeared, said that I wouldn't be able to save anyone, touched me and turned me to dust, then yelled that everyone would die, and I was just frozen with fear, I felt like it'd come true, like the villains would win, everyone would die, and-" "Midoriya." All Mighf waited until he looked at him, tears threatening to fall. "Listen to me. That won't happen. Your friends brought you back to the academy so you could regain your strength and help us in the final battle. And I will make sure everyone comes out of it safely. I'll make sure no one dies-We'll all make sure no one dies. You got that, kid?" Izuku started crying because of his nightmare, but he nodded, and All Might pulled him into a hug. He desperately needed one right now.
