Chapter 39 - 39

Izuku could only listen to the grunts, yells, screams, cackles, and explosions as he waited for the all-clear. It made him anxious, sure, and a bit fearful, but he knew they could do this. They had to, or else it would he the end of Japan, and the world. So he sat and waited. He came up with multiple back-up plans, just in case, to try and make him feel better. "The Shiketsu students are coming through the gate now." Kirishima noted, then went offline, most likely back to fighting. "Its already been an hour?" Izuku asked, tapping his earpiece. "Hard to believe, isn't it?" Shoji said before the line went silent again. Minutes later, even though it felt like an eternity, he could hear the terrified screams and cries of his classmates. Then came Uraraka's fake but very believable cry. "DEKU!" Izuku knew that was his moment to come in, and take All For One up in the air, but he opened the balcony, and watched for a second. All For One had his hand on the clone's head, and Izuku couldn't see the fake One For All being drawn out of his clone, trying not to picture the real thing if it happened. Once he dropped the clone, Izuku took a few steps back, put his hood and mouthpiece on, then channeled energy in his legs. He ran, jumped off the balcony, and prepared himself. As his leg spammed toward All For One's head, he shouted, "MANCHESTER SMASH!" After he landed, he used smoke screen, kicked the enemy into the air, and they exchanged blows, grunts, blocks, and counters. Once, he was able to use Blackwhip to repeatedly smash him into the ground, careful to avoid his classmates. "ENOUGH OF THIS!" All For One tore through Blackwhip, and Izuku watched as he lost control of his quirk, and a dozen others latches onto the students. Just like he had planned.
