A/N: Shigaraki is making big moves now heroes are on Toga and Spinner's menu so the question is who will they be serving up? While Shigaraki gathers his strength Izuku and Nighteye will gather information from the one who started it all; All for One. What will this villainous mastermind have to say and will it be of any use to Izuku in the coming battle? I'm a little surprised how everyone wants me to continue this story past what I assumed would be a good end point. Now 70 chapters was a benchmark I set arbitrarily so that isn't exactly set in stone. There have been multiple times where a comment or an idea pops into my head that completely alters what I had planned so who knows.
Xavier Arias Gonsalves: There will be some hints as to the final vestige, so feel free to guess and yes I plan to give Eri and Izuku more cute moments. After all the school festival is coming up.
Potterformers: Yes this chapter will fill that blank space I've been having as his name in my head.
Kairomaru: No AFO isn't dead Izuku cut off his arm, but was kept from killing him by the remains of All Might in OFA.

Uwabami grabbed her purse as she waved goodbye to the camera crew. "Alright I'm heading out guys thanks for the hard work and have a nice night." She said as she walked out the door hearing the well wishes from her crew. She had been shooting a commercial for a new body wash and the shoot had gone longer than she'd expected. This was evident by the blazing red sunset she saw as she entered the parking lot. The sun had dipped well below the horizon as she exited the elevator into the parking garage.

Uwabami stretched feeling some of the tension leave her muscles as she smoothed out her dress that served as her hero uniform. Some might think a dress was impractical in her line of work, but when you worked alongside women who literally tore their clothes off to get the job done she had to strike her own brand in the heroine market and this fashionable dress was totally on brand for her. Her heels clicked on the concrete as she neared her car only to find that her tires had been slashed.

"Oh what the hel-!" One of the serpents on Uwabami's head hissed a warning before she dodged to the side sliding in between two parked cars narrowly avoiding the slash of a sword as its blade carved into the ground throwing up sparks. Uwabami stood up to look into the eye of Spinner from the League of Villains.

"Hello faker!" The way Spinner said the word faker with each letter dripping with contempt like she was the most despicable creature in the world sent a chill up her spine. She grit her teeth fighting the uneasiness inside her as she stared at the lizard man.

"League of Villains." She hissed as Spinner brought up the sword which she could now see was an Odachi. Uwabami thought about her situation for a moment. She was not a combative hero having primarily focused on rescue operations. Not to say she couldn't handle herself in a fight, but from what she'd heard of Spinner after the training camp attack the reptilian male was well trained and his strength far exceeded hers. If she was going to fight she'd have to get in close to disable the usefulness of Spinner's large weapon, but retreating would be better.

"Here I come faker prepare to be purged!" He shouted as he swung the Odachi in a horizontal fashion. At first Uwabami thought that he was insane thinking he could slice through a car with that sword to reach her, but she was proven both wrong. With Spinner's strength and the sharpness of his Odachi it began cleaving the top off the first car like a knife through butter.

Uwabami reacted by back flipping over the next car narrowly getting below the hood as Spinner's blade cleaved through the top of the second car even managing to sever some of Uwabami's hair in the process as the two car tops fell to the side in a shower of sparks. Uwabami took a breath but as she did one of her snakes warned her of danger and she moved barely avoiding a knife in her neck as the blade slashed the side of her neck and severed her maroon choker.

The choker fell down her chest followed by a trickle of blood as Uwabami's slit pupils focused on the new threat in front of her. Himiko Toga walked out of the shadows in her blood sucker mask and schoolgirl uniform. She cocked her head to the side as she held up three knives in between her fingers. "Wow you dodged it. I thought I had completely erased my murderous intent, but those snakes of yours are pretty sensitive aren't they?" Himiko said as she skipped forward accompanied by the sound of scraping metal.

Spinner appeared around the back of the car he'd just sliced open dragging the Odachi's blade along the ground before flipping it up and laying it across his shoulders. "I had her there's no need for you to interfere Toga." Spinner said as Himiko's eyes crinkled indicating she was smiling under her mask.

"Don't be like that Spinner there's more than enough hero for the both of us, besides you heard what Shigi said. I need to collect her blood. I'm just following orders." She said with a shrug. Spinner frowned, but said nothing else as he pointed his blade at Uwabami.

"Surrender or fight, your choice doesn't matter to me either way you're dead." He said as Uwabami stood up and looked at the two. Her chances of escape were even lower now. Avoiding Spinner by himself would have been an ordeal avoiding them both would be nearly impossible; she had to fight.

"I see you've made a decision allow me to congratulate you for having the resol-." Spinner's compliment was cut off as Himiko raced forward.

"You talk too much Spinner. I want to see her blood!" Himiko shouted as she rushed forward slashing her knives furiously at Uwabami who dodged with the help of her snakes and dashed past Toga but not before sinking the knife Himiko hadd thrown at her into Himiko's thigh. Toga yelped more in surprise than pain as Uwabami ran past her only to be nearly by impaled by Spinner's Odachi as he stabbed it towards her in frenzy. Once more Uwabami dodged and danced around a frenzy of attacks thanking all of her past dance instructors for constructing a flexible and dexterous body as Uwabami seemingly danced around Spinner's attack.

The Odachi was a large katana meant to cleave through both rider and horse with one swing as such the blade had a glaring weakness in that its user could be punished for overextending themselves as were left open to a counterattack. Uwabami finally got within range of Spinner and one of her snakes launched out to bite his wrist sinking its fangs deep into his flesh before Uwabami got behind him into the roadway of the parking garage.

Uwabami was covered in sweat as she panted heavily staring at her two opponents. "Give up now. My snakes have a deadly venom that will kill you if you don't get medical help." Uwabami threatened even though that was a lie. The venom her snakes produced was not lethal at worse it would cause him to cramp up, but that was it. This was one of the reasons Uwabami had wanted to be a rescue hero. She was simply no good in combat.

Spinner turned to look at Uwabami and laughed. "You think I care about something like that? My one and ONLY goal is to erase money grubbing heroes like you from the face of the earth! I will gladly die a thousand deaths if it means I will make a more just society. Now perish false hero!" Spinner said raising his blade, but this turned out to be a distraction as from around him appeared a multitude of knives aimed at Uwabami. She gracefully dodged the knives, but what she didn't know was that one of them had been equipped with a bomb.

It wasn't a large bomb but when thrown into a car and detonated it would make a much bigger explosion. As Uwabami moved out of the way of the knives she was suddenly thrown forward by an explosion. She felt the heat blossom across her back as her dress was burned and further cut and torn as she rolled across the ground before smacking against the concrete railing of the outer path. She slowly sat up as her vision swam swirling with red and yellow from the fire of the burning cars as well as black though she couldn't tell if that was her lapsing in and out of consciousness or the smoke from the burning vehicles.

As Uwabami sat there she felt an intense pain erupt in her skull that tore a scream from her. Her hands reached up to find the source of her pain and came upon the hilts of knives and in an instant Uwabami knew what had happened. Someone most likely Toga had impaled the snakes on her head with her knives. Tears leaked from her eyes as she looked up in time to see Spinner's Odachi pierce through her shoulder once more Uwabami screamed as her warm blood flowed over her shoulder.

"As I said I congratulate you on your willingness to see this through to the end false hero. You are not worthy of being spared, but you have my respect and for that I will make your death quick." He said producing a combat knife from his boot.

"Wait a minute Spinner I need her blood and it's easier to get when the hearts still beating." Himiko said as she unceremoniously stabbed her syringe into Uwabami's leg. Compared to the pain in her head and shoulder she didn't even feel the syringe pierce her thigh. The only thought on Uwabami's mind was the hope that she had bought enough time. When Spinner had first attacked her before rising to see him she had immediately activated the Hero Locate feature of the Hero Network App. A quick double tap and her location was sent to every hero and anyone nearby would come to her.

She watched her blood flow into Himiko's tube and behind her back as Himiko nursed the knife wound in her leg. "You know you're the first person to stab me back. You're special to me now." She said as she reached forward to stroke Uwabami's cheek smearing her blood onto Uwabami's face. "I'm only going to use your blood for special occasions." Himiko continued as she removed the syringe from Uwabami's thigh.

"Now then, die." Spinner said as he slashed across Uwabami's neck her blood flew into the air and splattered across the concrete. As she sat there she felt Spinner's Odachi be pulled from her shoulder and the world grew darker and darker. The last thing she saw before the world went black was a flurry of crimson feathers around her.

Izuku stood next to Nighteye outside an imposing building. This building was the Supermax prison Tartarus named for the underworld and it was said to hold the most dangerous villains from across Japan. Nighteye stepped forward followed by Izuku. The two stepped in front of the doors as a green light scanned the them. A moment passed before the massive doors were opened revealing an empty hallway and another door at the end.

Izuku recognized this hallway as something like an airlock of a barrier between the world outside and the world inside this prison. They walked to the door at the end of the hall where once again the two were scanned before being permitted entrance. As they walked into the next room they stood within a lobby of some kind. In the middle of this room stood a man he wore a large red cloak that covered him from the neck down with and a high red collar around his head. He wore a mask that was a simple expanse of black cloth as far as Izuku could see there were no holes for eyes or mouth. Izuku felt as if he was simply looking at a black dot in an expanse of red.

"Hello Nighteye, JForce I am one of the heroes stationed at Tartarus, my name is Bastion." The voice was masculine letting Izuku know this was a man as the red cloak and expressionless mask before him gave him no clue as to whether he was standing in front of a man or woman. Also the name Bastion didn't ring a single bell in his head. He couldn't recall having heard of a hero called Bastion. Seeing his confusion Nighteye elaborated.

"Don't worry about not having heard of him Izuku that's by design. All the heroes who work at Tartarus have been removed from the public eye even historically. It gives them all security to still live their day to day lives. If it was known what heroes work at Tartarus they would become targets to try and use them to free extremely dangerous villains." At this explanation Izuku nodded.

"I understand it's a pleasure to meet you Bastion sir thank you for guarding these villains." Izuku said with a bow. As he rose Izuku couldn't be sure, but he felt as if Bastion was smiling at him.

"Think nothing of it now I know you are here to speak with All for One. There are some ground rules I will make you aware of. First of all any visit with the inmate will not exceed ten minutes. After the ten minutes are up you are to immediately leave the room this is non-negotiable. Secondly if at any time I or others feel there is anything dangerous or abnormal the visit will be terminated regardless of how much time has elapsed. Do you agree to these terms?" Bastion asked as Izuku nodded.

"Yes sir." Izuku said as Bastion nodded and then proceeded to one of the several doors.

"Follow me." Bastion said as Izuku walked forward only to see that Nighteye was not following him.

"Aren't you coming Nighteye?" Izuku asked as Nighteye shook his head.

"No I'm not. I feel if I was there it would impede your questioning not to mention that All for One would be much more on guard with me there. I want him to be relaxed as possible meaning he needs to feel superior so sending you in there by yourself will definitely put him a bit at ease. Don't worry though I as well as Bastion and others will be watching you and at the first sign of trouble we will move." Izuku looked at Nighteye before nodding.

"Ok then see you in a bit." Izuku said as he entered the hallway and was lead to the cell at the very end of the hall guarded by a massive door with a dozen thick deadbolts across the door as well as two guards stationed on either side. Bastion approached the door and gave a code word.

"Clauditis." Bastion said before the guard stepped aside with a salute. Afterword Bastion entered a series of numbers into the keypad at the side of the door before placing his palm on the door. There was a hiss as apparently blood was taken from Bastion. After a moment the doors finally opened with each lock sliding out of place with a clear clang. "Ten minutes." Bastion said as he went to take up his post in the observeration room. Izuku walked forward into the room it was an expanse of white with nothing to mar the white walls or floor except the black dome cameras spread through the room.

Towards the back of the room was a massive barrier separating All for One from the rest of the room. The door shut behind Izuku urging him into movement as he began walking forward. Even though All for One possessed no eyes Izuku could still feel his gaze on him slithering across his body as he approached and finally took the only piece of furniture on this side of the partition that being a simple white chair.

Izuku sat down and immediately All for One spoke. "Izuku Midoriya it is a pleasure to meet you. Forgive me for not providing you with refreshments, but I'm a bit tied up at the moment." He said in a voice as smooth as silk and deadly as a knife at your throat as he shrugged emphasizing the restraints across his body. Izuku noticed the sharp movement of the turrets in the corners of All for One's room.

As if sensing Izuku's curiosity All for One spoke again. "I may be blind in the traditional sense, but my infared vision does allow me some sight enough to know it is All Might's precious successor sitting in front of me. I'm so glad you came to visit. It's terribly boring here and when I'm not bored my sleep is interrupted by your predecessors." All for One said looking at Izuku.

Izuku did his best to school his face into a calm and serene surface. He couldn't let anything All for One said get to him he just didn't have time for it. Ten minutes was all he had to get as much as he could from the villain, but the mention of the previous users did crack his mask somewhat. "You've been seeing them?" Izuku asked as All for One smiled.

"I have, it's not often that they cross my mind at least not in such an annoying way, but lately I can't seem to get them off my mind. At first I thought it had something to do with All Might nearing his death and foolishly hoped that what was happening was a sign that One for All would be returning to me, but that was shattered when I met you. You are the reason for the stirring in One for All. I must congratulate you on awakening my younger brother's power so strongly. When I first saw you all I could see was a child trying to fill shoes that were far too big for him, but after having fought you I can see that you are very much like my younger brother." All for One said with an arrogant grin.

Izuku looked into the featureless face of All for One and took a deep breath. Time was ticking. Izuku didn't have time to be tactful even though it wasn't his style he needed to be direct and blunt. "Did you give Shigaraki your quirk?" Izuku asked as All for One leaned back at the question.

"What an odd inquiry why would you ask something like that?" He said seemingly staring at Izuku. "Oh pardon me it's rude to answer a question with a question. No I did not give Tomura All for One. I'm sure you can't take my word for it, so if you would be willing to turn off the security system here I'd be happy to show you." All for One said with a smile as in the observation room Bastion went to use the intercom to tell Izuku that would not happen under any circumstances, but was stopped by Nighteye.

"Don't worry Izuku wouldn't think of going along with All for One's request. He's the one who put him here after all." Bastion relaxed as they continued to watch the young hero.

"You know that's not going to happen, and I believe you. You have no reason to lie as far as I can see." Izuku admitted. At this All for One smiled.

"Why thank you for the vote of confidence Izuku Midoriya. All Might was never very trusting of me it lent our relationship a deep hatred, but with you I see we can still be civil. As such I must apologize. I never intended to kill All Might that day. I don't regret it, but it was not my intent." All for One said as he felt a pulse from Izuku as the boy's green eyes bore into him.

"Just stop it. Stop acting like you're a decent human being because you're not! You're a monster with barely a human form so cut the act. You've killed and hurt so many people. You killed All Might, Noelle and Luffy. You killed Naruto, and Natsu and your own son Meliodas. You even killed your own brother!" Izuku shouted before he felt a killing intent like nothing before wash over him.

In the control room a small alarm went off alerting everyone to the fact that All for One's heartbeat had spiked, but for Izuku who was in the room he was being drowned in pure malice and it was only thanks to his training and experience that he didn't faint. "You're right Izuku Midoriya. I have killed many people, and I did kill every one of your predecessors, but I did not kill Masao." All for One growled. "I could never kill my little brother. Say what you will about me Izuku. I am a monster a demon, even Satan himself, but I did not take my brother's life." All for One said and just as quickly as it had appeared the tidal wave of malice was gone.

Izuku felt sweat beading on his forehead as he sat forward. He would not be deterred. "You say you didn't give Shigaraki All for One and I believe you, so what is Shigaraki planning? Is he operating on your orders?" Izuku asked as All for One leaned his head back.

"No he's not. He like you Izuku is following his own path now. In fact if I'm permitted to make a prediction I doubt that I will ever see Tomura again." All for One stated and for just a moment Izuku might have glimpsed the true face of All for One. The knowledge that he would never see Tomura Shigaraki again hurt him. "Now let me ask you a question Izuku." All for One said as he leaned his head forward again.

"Why didn't you kill me?" All for One asked in a totally bland voice as if he were asking Izuku whether he preferred ketchup to mustard. Izuku stared at All for One for a moment before clenching his fist.

"That wasn't me who was fighting you." Izuku said before hearing All for One laugh.

"Now, now Izuku it's not good to lie. I'll admit it was not you in control, or your power behind those punches, but it was your anger and rage that brought forth Meliodas. Even now blind as I am I can still see that flame of hatred burning in those eyes of yours. So I ask again why didn't you kill me?" All for One repeated as Izuku dropped his head thinking about that battle. All for One was right at this very moment Izuku hated him. If he were to give rise to the darkest thoughts and desires in his mind he would admit that this cell was too good for All for One.

He shouldn't be able to breathe right now. He should be dead ripped apart and burned why should he live when All Might was dead. Izuku's head popped up as he regained control of himself. He'd almost fell into that pit of rage he'd been in when he first fought All for One and just like then he felt a presence in his mind and a warmth on his shoulder. "I didn't kill you because that isn't the kind of hero I want to be. It's not that I think you deserve to live, but I know it will be more painful for you to live and watch as I bring down all that you are. I will smash you and your memory to pieces and have it rain down around you. That's why I didn't kill you!" Izuku shouted as he stood up.

"So watch me All for One, I'll make sure you see Tomura Shigaraki again, because he'll be locked up here alongside you, and I'll be the one to put him here." Izuku said as he headed for the door. He was done talking to All for One, there was nothing more to say. All for one watched Izuku as he left seeing his back as the door closed behind him. All for One couldn't help but smile.

"We shall see. Maybe number nine is the charm." He said with a laugh.

As Izuku left the cell and walked down the hall a voice called out to him. "I see your conviction is even stronger now." Izuku looked up into the window of a cell and met eyes with Stain.
