The true final battle has now commenced. Cry, Kendo, and Monoma all now possess the might of One for All. And if all you know how OFA works, then you know what's coming for Cry. This is the final battle of Act 1 of this story. Not too much after this chapter. But even so, this is like a battle to end all battles, am I right? Three One for All users vs All for One, no better way to end the first half of the story. And now, let us begin the end in grand style! Here we go, folks! Enjoy!

-POV: Third Person-

With a massive thunderstorm raging above the island, Nine prepared to end the lives of all who stood in his way. Katsuma and Mahoro looked on in fear as their last hope became trapped, unable to move as Nine was mere moments from ending their lives. 

Kendo and Monoma both reached out and took Cry's hand, a new step taken for all of them as Cry shared the power of One for All with his friends. 

"This is your power now..... My time with it..... has passed..... It's your turn to be the strongest...." Cry said as the power of One for All surged within all three of them. A massive outburst of energy from them created a shockwave that shattered Nine's serpents holding them down, kicking up a huge dust cloud as all three students rose to their feet. 

"No..... You're all too weak...... WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Nine shouted in a rage as thunder and tornadoes began to crash down over the island. 

"This power..... what is it.....?" Kendo asked as the dust cleared. 

"It feels..... It feels incredible.... my whole body is bursting with power. This is what Midoriya has?" Monoma questioned.

"This power..... this is the power to surpass.... to break through any limit before you.... this..... is the power to prevail.... to shine... our light.... through his darkness...." I said as we all looked to Nine and his massive storm above. 

"But is this power enough.... to really stop him?" Kendo asked as Cry chuckled a bit.

"Don't know..... only one way to find out though...." Cry said as he began to generate One for All through his body. 

"Wait.... how do we use this quirk..... we haven't had time to learn it at all..." Monoma asked. 

"It's.... well, it's just a feeling. You want to protect people, right? So make sure that's what you feel when you want to use this quirk. This rush of amazing energy will surge within you, and you send it to your entire body. The same as how Midoriya does it." Cry told them as they both tried it. 

Both Kendo and Monoma relaxed their bodies and minds, doing exactly as Cry told. Their bodies began to glow with a bright aura, yellow for Monoma and blue for Kendo. Their hair rose as a sign of incredible power, and the ground beneath their feet cracked a bit. 

"This is One for All..... astounding...." Monoma said in amazement as Cry did the same, using One for All Full Cowling at 100% as his body glowed with a bright red aura.

"But I warn you.... this quirk is not easy to master..... not even I was able to do it..... it will harm you in return...... so be prepared...." Cry told them as they both gave him nods before they gathered and took ready stances to battle.

"All of you disappear...... BEGONE FROM MY WORLD!!!!" Nine roared as he made the elements rain down from the clouds above. 

"NO GOING BACK, GIVE THIS EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!!!" Cry shouted as he reeled back his left arm, as Kendo and Monoma did the same with their right.

"SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" The three roared at the top of their lungs as they drove their fists into the sky, all three releasing immense shockwaves that joined together to strike the storm above. And, as their one enormous shockwave dug into the clouds, it exploded with such force that the clouds exploded, creating an actual hole in the sky for the sun and blue sky to shine down once more. 

"No..... It's impossible...." Nine said in complete disbelief as the three heroes lowered their arms, all three flinching as massive bruises now covered them. 

"We can.... take this..... pain...... right, Kendo?" Monoma said to her as she gave a stern nod. 

"Yeah..... we can do this..... we can win....." Kendo said, enduring the pain as much as she could as Cry stepped forward. He used his Reality quirk to shape himself a new diamond arm, only with so much pain in his body, it came out much more jagged than normal. 

"Yes, we can...... Now, let's go!!" Cry shouted as Kendo and Monoma responded with a confident "RIGHT!"

"YOU'RE ALL NOTHING BUT MERE INSECTS FOR ME TO CRUSH!!! NOW DIE!!!" Nine roared as he sent dozens of serpents from his body at all of them.

The three heroes each took one step forward and all of them took off like rockets, becoming blurs of their respected colours as they raced for Nine. Katsuma and Mahoro watched in complete awe as they bared witness to the three most amazing heroes they'd ever seen.

"SPREAD OUT!!! CLOSE THE DISTANCE AND STRIKE HIM DOWN WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!!!" Cry shouted as he kept on charging forward, while Kendo went to the far left and Monoma to the right.

"MURDER THEM!!! CRUSH THEM!!! DO ANYTHING SO LONG AS THEY DIE!!!" Nine roared as his serpents closed in. 

"WASHINGTON SMASH!!!" Cry screamed as he jumped into a dive kick and bulldozed his way through all of the serpents before him.

"NEW YORK SMASH!!!" Kendo howled as she jumped high into the air, the serpents following from below as she extended out her right leg. She did a front flip as, with the down-force of her leg, she did an axe kick that created another devastating shockwave. It blew apart all of the serpent heads like glass as she landed back on the ground and continued forward.

"LOUISIANA SMASH!!!" Monoma roared as he reeled back his arms and unleashed a flurry of smaller shockwaves, each blowing apart a serpent as he made his way through. 

"GET AWAY FROM ME!!! STAY AWAY!!!" Nine shouted as he used his weather quirk to create a massive hurricane level wind, one strong enough to push back each of the heroes and send them flying through the air.

"EVEN IF IT'S NOT ME..... SO LONG AS YOU TWO ADVANCE, WE CAN WIN!!!" Cry shouted as he opened up two portals, one for Kendo and one for Monoma as they each flew into them. Two more portals opened up on the ground and the two of them continued their charge forward, dodging lightning and bullets lasers from Nine as Cry landed hard in a crater.

"DON'T STOP, MONOMA!!! KEEP PUSHING FORWARD!!!" Kendo shouted as she enlarged her hands, still channeling One for All through them as she spread her arms out. 

"ALASKA SMASH!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs as she brought her hands together. The furious clap of her gigantic hands created a forward shockwave that sent a wall of visible sound directly at Nine.

"I'LL BLOW YOU ALL AWAY!!!" Nine howled as he generated lightning in his hands and mixed them with his bullet lasers. He fired off ten straight bolts from his fingers that soared over the ground right towards Kendo's attack. But her soundwave blew back the bolts and kept on going, crashing into Nine as he was sent flying through the air. 

"NOT DONE...... IT'S NOT OVER!!!" Nine roared as he created another small tornado under his feet to stand on, him now hovering in the air.

"OREGON SMASH!!!" Monoma screamed as he leaped for Nine, extending one leg straight out and doing continuous flips, turning himself into a powerful living buzz saw of raw power.

"I'LL ANNIHILATE YOU!!!" Nine shouted as he used his barrier quirk, adding seven layers to it to just barely successfully block Monoma's attack and sending him flying back as he bounced off.

"Don't worry, I've got you!!" Kendo shouted as she reached up and caught Monoma in one of her giant hands. She then spun him around and tossed him back at twice the speed, Monoma putting his legs together for a piercing drop kick.

"YOU CHILDREN MEAN NOTHING TO ME!! I'LL ERASE YOU FROM EXISTENCE!!!" Nine roared as he put his hands and fingers together and created one giant lightning bullet laser. Monoma and the laser struck and ensued a shoving match in midair that Monoma was slowly winning. He was pushing his way through the laser, with the beam shattering at its end like glass.

"DON'T THINK IT'S JUST HIM, I'M STILL HERE TOO!!!" Kendo roared as she picked up enormous boulders in each of her hands and chucked them at Nine.

"I'LL SHATTER THOSE PEBBLES AND YOU TO DUST!!!" Nine howled as he summoned lightning from above once more, a huge bolt crashing into all of the boulders and obliterating them and a second striking Monoma, exploding on contact and sending him soaring back through the air.

"MONOMA, NO!!!!" Kendo screamed as Nine flew to her on his tornado. Kendo had her head turned so she wasn't aware, but he quickly closed the gap and shoved both his hands on her chest. 

"Don't worry, girl, you'll be joining him momentarily!" Nine said to her as he generated lightning through his hands again. 

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Kendo wailed as she was electrocuted, her body beginning to smoke and char until she found the strength to knock Nine away with one of her giant hands. 

"That...... won't...... stop me....." Kendo said, breathing extremely heavy, her giants hands near black in colour from all the bruising. But still, she mustered the strength to run at Nine who only scoffed at her futile attempts. 

"I knew I should've killed you yesterday when we met. You wouldn't have been here to cause so much trouble for me!" Nine shouted as he created his barriers again, another seven layer one as Kendo threw a punch. But with her hands so bruised, her strength was getting weaker. Nine then forced the barriers down, forcing Kendo as well as he flattened her on her back beneath the barriers.

"It's so heavy...... too.... much...... not.... strong..... enough....." Kendo said as she could not lift the barriers off of her. Nine then reached down with his right hand and made holes in his barriers for his arm to go through. He kept going until he placed his index finger right on Kendo's forehead. 

"Now say goodbye to your life, girl...." Nine said, his eyes glowing a blood red as Kendo closed her eyes and prepared to die. But mere moments before Nine could use one of his bullet lasers, a gargantuan pillar of fire suddenly erupted from some distance away, up near the top of the hill at the ruins. 

"What now....?" Nine questioned as he took his hand away, him and Kendo looking over to see what caused the fire to start. The ground around the fire was melting away like lava as the pillar was advancing towards them. It was gradually getting smaller too as the base rose over the crest of the hill. There stood a figure. A person. Cry. 

"ONE FOR ALL!!!! INFERNO GOD INCARNATE!!!" Cry roared, his whole body ablaze as he absorbed the remainder of the flame pillar into him. 

"NO...... I THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE!!!! WHY WON'T YOU JUST VANISH FOREVER!?" Nine shouted as Cry walked forward, each step he took sending fire from his feet into the air, like small geysers. 

"I'VE DIED BEFORE AND NOT EVEN THAT WAS ENOUGH TO STOP ME!!! NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE TO STAND AGAINST YOU!!!" Cry roared as Nine unleashed dozens of bullet lasers at him. But they all went right through his body, not slowing him down for a second. 

"Wait..... he's not just covered in fire..... HE'S MADE OF IT!!!" Kendo shouted out of realization as she looked on in awe as Nine stepped over her to approach him. 

By generating One for All through his body, then creating fire on his diamond arm and coursing it through his actual body, Cry was able to merge the two into one. He's become living fire, the strongest natural element. 

"THESE ARE THE EMBERS OF MY ONE FOR ALL!!! THIS IS EVERYTHING I'VE GOT LEFT IN ME!!! USING WHAT REMAINS, I WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN, NINE!!" Cry declared as he picked up the pace, beginning to run as each footstep he took left a flaming imprint on the ground.

"IT WON'T BE ENOUGH!!! NOTHING YOU OR ANYONE CAN DO CAN STOP ME!!!" Nine roared as he created his serpents again, dozens of them as each and every one of them flew for Cry. 

"Let's see those things try and catch me now...." Cry said to himself as he opened a portal in front of him and ran through before closing it.

"NO..... WHERE DID YOU GO!?" Nine questioned as he tuned his head in all directions only to not see Cry anywhere.

"Did he fail with the second portal again....?" Kendo questioned as she got up, looking around to see only Nine and Monoma way off in the distance who was just getting up as well. However, the ground beneath Nine suddenly began to light up with a bright orange hue, the stone floor beginning to melt as Nine lifted himself off with a tornado. 

"NO WAY!!!" He shouted as Cry shot out of the ground and delivered a flaming One for All uppercut to his jaw, sending Nine crashing upward into the air.

"Kendo, Monoma, come here!!!" Cry shouted as his friends rushed over in the literal blink of an eye. All three of them had beaten themselves to near death, One for All taking its toll on them with its incredible strength. 

"We're all running on fumes right now, so we need to end this soon! I'll get you two in position, then you attack Nine with everything you've got left!!! Muster all the strength you can into one epic blow!" Cry shouted as his flames were beginning to die out, parts of his actual body becoming visible again. 

"You mentioned these were your last embers before, right? Well, what happens when they all go out?" Monoma asked him as he just shook his head. 

"Just ignore that for now! We've got bigger issues! Now get ready!!" Cry shouted as Nine began to fly back down, striking himself with lightning as he became encased in the element. 

"GO!!! Take him out and end this!!!" Cry shouted as he opened up a portal below Kendo and Monoma, making them fall through and out the second which was right behind Nine.

"WHAT!?" Nine shouted as he turned around and stopped in midair to see the two heroes behind him, Kendo reeling back her left arm as Monoma did his right. 

"FOR THE FUTURE, WE WILL WIN!!!" Monoma roared as he threw his punch. 

"FOR THE FUTURE, WE MUST SAVE EVERYONE!!! WE WILL!!!!" Kendo screamed as she threw hers as well. Nine went to create his seven layer barrier once more, but the combined might of both of them shattered then, allowing them to finally make contact and deliver the shot of all shots to Nine's chest, sending him rocketing down to the earth where Cry stood. Nine cratered the ground upon impact before rising up from the bounce, only to be met by Cry right in his face, his eyes ablaze as he grabbed onto what remained of the metal mask around Nine's neck. 

"This is it...... It's all over..... for Nine..... and for me...... my days as a hero..... over...... with these final embers within me..... this is my final...." Cry thought as he reeled back his left arm as far as he could before throwing it with all the might he could produce. 

"SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Cry roared as contact was made. He struck Nine directly in the face as an explosion was set off, one of monumental proportions. It was so strong that even Cry was blown far away, the remainder of the fire that was his body dissipating as he returned to normal. 

Nine was launched by the explosion, getting sent so far into the horizon that he was gone in a split second. And Cry, he landed hard on some boulders before falling onto a small beach face first. His body damaged beyond repair, his diamond arm gone once more as he laid there, almost motionless as he felt the waves of the beach crash into his face. 

"It's over...... it's over....." He said as tears came down his face, knowing everything was indeed finished for him.

"Cry!!!" Kendo suddenly shouted as she and Monoma came jumping down the side of the hill, landing on the soft sand as they ran over to help their friend. The two had stopped using One for All, their auras now disappeared as they crouched down next to Cry and turned him over onto his back. 

"We did it....." Monoma said as they saw their friend wasn't happy at all. He was crying. 

"Cry, what's wrong?" Kendo asked him out of concern as Cry just sobbed away before shaking his head. 

"It's all over..... it's gone....." Cry said to them. 

"Wait, what is? What's gone?" Monoma asked him. 

"It's my..... my quirk..... it's gone..... i'm quirkless....." Cry said as Kendo and Monoma looked at each other with a bit of confusion on their faces. 

"What do you mean your quirk is gone? How can you be quirkless?" Kendo asked as she gently lifted Cry up so he'd be sitting. 

"That's the trade off of One for All..... once it's passed onto another, the prior user.... will slowly lose the energy within their quirks..... and when that energy limit is exceeded..... the quirk is gone..... just like-" Cry tried to say as both his friends clicked in to what he meant. 

"Just like All Might..... this is his quirk..... isn't it?" Monoma asked as Cry nodded. He felt that since these two now bare this legendary quirk, they deserve to know the truth of it as well. And so, Cry went on to explain the history and origin of One for All. How it one day must stand against All for One. How it is the culmination of multiple users. And that they must keep it a secret, no matter what may happen.

"But, how does all this..... how does it stop you from using your Reality quirk?" Kendo asked as Cry just shook his head again. 

"Another thing about One for All..... it also passes on the previous users original quirk as well..... And since this One for All began with me, it means that, besides the incredible physical power..... it also houses my quirk, Reality. I have no energy left to wield it as well. They're both gone..... forever....." Cry said as Kendo and Monoma looked at each other once more, the two giving nods to one another. 

"No..... they're not......" Kendo said as the two placed their right hands on Cry's chest. They generated One for All within them, and Cry soon felt an intense rush of power surge within his body. 

"Wait, no, stop! I chose this, I used up what was left of my quirk. If you do this..... then it'll only be a matter of time before..... before you lose yours too...." Cry told them as they both just smiled at him. 

"We know...... so, we'll just have to watch each others backs, then. Whenever one of us runs out, then we trade off One for All between us. We'll be our own trinity, the family of this quirk." Kendo said as Cry felt his quirk return. He began to tear up even more as he reached out and hugged the two of them. 

"Thank you....... for everything....." He weeped into their shoulders as they hugged him back. 

"Hey, we're Class B. We stick together, no matter what." Monoma said as Katsuma and Mahoro rushed down onto the beach. 

"Cry! Monoma! Kendo!!! Thank you!!!" They both cried as they ran up and hugged all three of them. 

"Ow!" Cry grunted when he was hugged as his body was just broken all over.

"Oh, sorry!" Mahoro said as she backed away. But Cry just laughed off the pain as Katsuma still held him tightly. 

"So...... how'd your personal hero..... do?" Cry asked them as they both just smiled away. 

"You..... all three of you...... YOU'RE THE GREATEST HEROES ALIVE!!!" They both shouted to the world as the three heroes just laughed and thanked them. 

"kids.......!!!!" A voice suddenly shouted from a distance. Everyone turned and looked out to the ocean. Something was flying over the water, red in colour as it was drawing closer. 

"Kids!!!!" The voice shouted as Cry was first to recognize it. 

"Mom.....?" He questioned as it was indeed Wrath Queen who flew into view. 

"Oh my goodness, thank heavens you're all alright!!!" Queen shouted with relief in her voice as she swooped down and landed on the sand before them all.

"I.... I'm so sorry we're late..... we only just figured everything out last night.... that the villains had arrived here....." Queen said as she crouched down and shook up her sons hair. 

"But knowing you all, i'd say you've beaten all those villains already. Am I right?" She asked as they all nodded. 

"Would you expect anything less of class B?" Monoma asked as Queen laughed at the question. 

"Guess you're right if you've got this wittle troublemaker with you guys...." Queen said as she pinched Cry's left cheek which made him let out a quick scream of pain. 

"Oh, whoops! Sorry!" Queen said as she let go. And shortly after, a whole squadron of fighter jets flew over head, along with helicopters for troop transportation. 

"Well, they all got here sooner faster than expected...." Queen said as, flying down from above, both Hawks and Endeavor landed on the beach. 

"Come on, Queen, it's me. Always love to go fast." Hawks said as he elbow nudged her as Endeavor walked up and crouched down in front of the students. 

"Am I correct to believe that you handled the full situation that occurred on this island?" He asked, looking right at Cry who gave him a silent nod. 

"I see, then. Excellent work from all of you. Guess us pros can say you're the real heroes today." Endeavor said which made all the kids smile. Even Cry, who used to hate Endeavor with a furious passion, smiled as he'd learned to move past the hatred and see him as a true hero. 

"I'll admit, i'm a bit jealous though. Couldn't have saved some action for us?" Hawks jokingly asked which just made the students laugh even more. 

"Tell us, how many villains were there exactly? We suspected there were 4 of them in total." Queen asked as they all gave her nods. 

"Yeah.... their leader.... I sent him flying.... far off the island.... and the other three.... one's knocked out.... and the other two, our classmates dealt with..... we don't know if they succeeded though...." Cry explained as Hawks and Endeavor took off to find wherever the other villains were.

"I have faith they all won their battles..... Now, let's get you all out of here. These injuries need to be treated. Lucky for you three, we brought Recovery Girl along with us." Queen said as she gently picked up her son on her arms, as Kendo and Monoma held onto her arms to support themselves. Katsuma and Mahoro walked beside them as they traversed the island to eventually arrive at the medical center. There, Recovery Girl used her quirk and healed each and every single student. While some had some damage that couldn't be fully repaired, everyone was back to at least 95%. 

"Why am I not surprised it's you? I swear, you and that Midoriya boy have more combined meetings with me than all the other students at U.A all put together this year." Recovery Girl said to Cry as he just lowered his head and shamefully thanked her for healing him. 

The remaining villains had been found not too long after Hawks and Endeavor had left to search. Mummy was discovered in a small hut, while Chimera was discovered by Komori flying in the air using Tsunotori's horns. And Slice, she was still knocked out when they were all found, and she had to be dug out of the glue trapping her in the hole. All three were detained and were taken away, being flown back to the main land where they'd be placed in maximum security.

The pros stayed for just a small handful of days before it was time for them to leave. All being highly ranked heroes, none could stay to become the new permanent pros on Nabu Island. So, the students of Class B had to continue their stay until someone was found. But after all they'd just gone through, none of them minded in the slightest. The residents even gave them a break for a few days, doing most of the jobs themselves so the students could get their much needed rest. However, all good things must eventually come to an end. And soon enough, the time came for Class B to depart from Nabu. 

"We've been here for a month now.... it just feels wrong to leave now..." Tetsutetsu said as all the students loaded their supplies onto the ferry and began to board. 

"I know how you feel. I'm.... i'm really gonna miss being here." Monoma said as he almost started to tear up. 

"Don't worry, guys. I'm sure there'll be more opportunities for us to visit." Kendo said as she just couldn't look away from the island. The only one who didn't board right away was Cry who stood next to the ferry as he watched Katsuma and Mahoro run over to him.

"Wait, don't go!!!" They begged as Cry crouched down to meet them. 

"And here I thought I was gonna have to run out to find you guys to say goodbye." Cry said as he shook up their hair. 

"Do you all really have to go?" Mahoro asked as the two looked sadder than ever. 

"Yes...... we do....." Cry said as he lowered his head. The two children hugged him very tightly as both began to cry into his chest. 

"I promise.... i'll become a hero.... just like you..... someone.... who can save everyone....." Katsuma cried as Cry just giggled. 

"I know you will. And when you do, come and find me. There's something I think i'll want to give you then." Cry said as the kids let go, allowing him to stand up as the ferry horn blared. 

"Come on, Cry, or you're gonna be left behind!" Tetsutetsu shouted to him. 

"Sorry, you two..... but I've gotta go. But, i'm sure we'll see each other again soon. You can count on it." Cry said as he hugged them one last time before running over to the ferry and boarding it. He joined Kendo and Monoma who stood at the railing along the stern of the ship. 

"I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't miss this place. Those kids...." Monoma said as Cry just gave him a nudge. 

"It's just sad, really. To have to leave after doing so much. I wish we could stay." Kendo said as the other two agreed with her. 

"I know. But.... with everything that we three went through.... we now share the same path. We stick by each others sides always. We face whatever evil decides to stand against us." Cry said as Monoma and Kendo nodded in agreement. But Kendo then gave a curious look....

"Tell me, Cry, what exactly did you mean to Katsuma when you said you had a gift for him when he becomes a hero?" She asked as Cry just laughed. 

"Well..... It's still a ways away... but, I know you two won't mind this idea. I think.... We should give Katsuma One for All. Let him be the next bearer of our torch." Cry told them as they both smiled and nodded again. 

"I told you, Kendo." Monoma said. 

"We're not against it. He was such a brave kid, one that will surely make an amazing hero when he grows up. He's definitely more than worthy of this power." Kendo said as they all saw Katsuma and Mahoro as the end of the harbor, waving good bye. 

"Bye guys!!! We'll see you again sometime, we promise!!!" All three shouted as Cry raised his diamond arm up into the air. 

"A little something for them to remember us by!" Cry said as he launched a projectile from his palm up into the air. It exploded into a multitude of colours. A firework. 

"We'll see you....." Cry said as the three heroes kept watch on Nabu Island, not looking away until it was finally out of sight. Their duty now complete, the three retired to some lounge chairs for some much needed rest and relaxation. 

A new tree had sprouted for the mighty quirk that is One for All. And with it, three branches emerged. Three now share one power, all three destined to face All for One once more in the future. And when that time comes, those three will face it without fear....
