Bakugo carefully places the stones in the gauntlet he made while Sato and Mineta watches. With nervous precision, Bakugo manipulates the machine and carefully places all six stones into the gauntlet.

Mineta: Boom!

Bakugo and Sato jump a bit, and quickly groan at Mineta's joke. A little while, the three of them went to the other room with the new finished gauntlet as everyone is gathered around it.

Mineta: All right. The glove's ready. Question is, who's gonna snap their freaking fingers?

Iida: I'll do it.

Mirio: Excuse me?

Iida: It's okay.

Everyone: *holding up Iida* No, no, no, whoa. Stop. Stop. Wait a sec. Hey, hey...

Midoriya: Wait, wait, wait, Iida, just wait. We haven't decided who's gonna put that on yet.

Iida: Oh, I'm sorry. What, were you just sitting around waiting for the right opportunity?

Mirio: We should at least discuss it.

Iida: Look, us sitting here staring at that thing is not gonna bring everybody back. I'm the strongest Avenger, okay? So this responsibility falls upon me. It's my duty.

Bakugo: It's not that...

Iida: *hushes everyone up* It's... stop it! Just let me. *tears up* Just let me do it. Just let me do something good. Something great.

Bakugo: Look...It's not just the fact that, that glove is channeling enough energy to light up a fricking continent, I'm telling you you're in no condition.

Iida: What do you think is coursing through my veins right now?

Kirishima: Cheez Whiz?

Iida: Lightning.

Bakugo: Yeah.

Sato: Lightning won't help you, pal. It's gotta be me.

Iida lets go of Bakugo.

Sato: You saw what those stones did to All for One. It almost killed him. None of you could survive.

Midoriya: How do we know you will?

Sato: We don't. But the radiation's mostly gamma. *looks at the gauntlet* It's like...uh...I was made for this.

As the others were discussing, Itsuka (2014) sneaks off to the Quantum portal and activates it.

Bakugo: Good to go, yeah?

Sato: Let's do it.

Bakugo: You remember... everyone All for One snapped away five years ago and just bringing them back to now, today. Don't fucking change anything from the last five years.

Sato: Got it.

As everyone heard his answer, they started to suit up.

Bakugo: F.R.I.D.A.Y., do me a favor and activate Protocol 8.

F.R.I.D.A.Y.: Yes, boss.

With a sound of metal moving inside, The Avengers facility goes on a lockdown.

Sato: Everybody comes home.

Sato puts on the gauntlet and the power surge overwhelms him as he grunts in pain.

Iida: Take it off. Take it off!

Midoriya: No, wait. Sato, are you okay?

Bakugo: Fucking talk to me, Sato.

Sato: I'm okay. I'm okay.

Iida gives a double thumbs up, as for Itsuka (2014) , she was successful in opening the Quantum Tunnel and brings the Sanctuary II to the present.

Sato screams, fighting through the intense pain coursing through his body courtesy of the gauntlet, and manages to snap his fingers. He faints and the gauntlet slides off his arm as Awase kicks it away.

Midoriya: Sato!

Bakugo: Don't fucking move him.

Sato: *holds Midoriya's arm* Did it work?

Iida: Worth a shot. It's over. It's okay.

Mirio walks towards the outside windows and sees plants and birds. Awase hears his phone ringing and sees it's his wife calling.

Awase: *struggles to speak* Honey. Honey.

Mirio: Guys...I think it worked!

Sato opens his eyes and sees the Sanctuary II up in the sky and a single missile heading towards the base blowing Mirio away. Then a continuous array of missiles destroys the base completely and everyone sinks below to the underground.

Sato was holding up tons of debris from collapsing on top of the other Avengers. Some debris is stuck on top of Mineta.

Mineta: I can't breathe. I can't breathe! I can't breathe.

Kirishima: Canopy. Canopy. Canopy. *gets out of his damaged suit*

Sato: Kiri, Mineta, get outta here!

Kirishima crawls over to help Mineta while taking a rebar as leverage to lift the debris off Mineta.

Mineta: Hurry up! Hurry up! Come on!

Kirishima gets Mineta out and they both sigh in relief.

Sato: Kiri!

A flood engulfs both Kirishima and Mineta while Mirio survives the blast by shrinking.

Kirishima: Mayday, mayday! Does anybody copy? We're in the lower level, it's flooding!

Mirio: What?

Kirishima: We're drowning! Does anybody copy? Mayday!

Mirio: Wait! I'm here! I'm here, can you hear me?

Awase was in the sewer system and trying to get his bearings. He flashes a light upwards to see what happened.

Awase: Cap?

Awase finds the gauntlet is with him but senses he's not alone down there. He shoots an arrow with light towards the dark tunnel and finds hordes of Outriders.

Awase: Damn.

Awase takes the gauntlet and runs towards the opposite direction while the Outriders chase after him.

From the outside, the Sanctuary II was placed in front of the building across it as it beams All for One (2014) to the ground as Itsuka walks towards him

All for One (2014): Daughter.

Itsuka (2014): Yes, Father. So, this is the future. Well done.

Itsuka (2014) takes off the orange plate on her head and throws it away.

Itsuka (2014): Thank you, Father. They suspected nothing.

All for One (2014) plants his double-bladed sword on the ground, takes off his helmet and places on top of the sword's edge.

All for One (2014): The arrogant never do.

All for one then decides to sit down.

All for One (2014): Go. Find the stones. Bring them to me.

Itsuka (2014): What will you do?

All for One (2014): Wait.

Itsuka (2014) proceeds to go find the stones as a figure was staring outside the Sanctuary II and as it was Jiro (2014) watching. Jiro (2014) heads over to where Itsuka is being held prisoner.

Jiro (2014): Tell me something. In the future, what happens to you and me?

Itsuka: I tried to kill you. Several times.

Jiro (2014) rolls her eyes.

Itsuka: But eventually, we become friends. We become sisters.

Jiro (2014) holds out her hand.

Jiro (2014): Come on. We can stop him.

Itsuka takes it.

Back at the Avengers building, Bakugo was walking towards Midoriya who's unconscious on the ground.

Bakugo: Come on, nerd. Wake up. That's my man. You lose this fucking thing again, I'm keeping it.

Midoriya: What happened?

Bakugo: We messed with time. It tends to mess back. You'll see.

After the decimation is undone, Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor discover All for One from the year 2014, who is fully aware of his plan's success and his fate and the Avengers' attempts to undo his plan, has arrived at Earth.

Bakugo: What's he been doing?

Iida: Absolutely nothing.

Midoriya: Where are the stones?

Bakugo: Somewhere under all this. All I know is he doesn't have them.

Midoriya: So we keep it that way.

Iida: You know it's a trap, right?

Bakugo: Yeah. And I don't much care.

Iida: Good. Just as long we are all in agreement. *summons both Stormbreaker and Mjolnir (2013)* Let's kill him properly this time.

The three walk over to confront All for One face to face.

All for One (2014): You could not live with your own failure. And where did that bring you? Back to me. I thought by eliminating half of life, the other half would thrive. But you've shown me that's impossible. And as long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be. They will resist.

Bakugo: Yep. We're all kinds of stubborn.

All for One (2014): I'm thankful. Because now, I know what I must do. *stands up* I will shred this universe down to its last atom. *puts on his helmet* And then...With the stones you've collected for me, create a new one. Teeming with life, but knows not what it has lost but only what it has been given. A grateful universe.

Midoriya: Born out of blood.

All for One (2014): They'll never know it. Because you won't be alive to tell them.

And with that, the fight starts. Iida and Bakugo go straight at All for One (2014). Meanwhile, Sato is under all of the mess trying to hold up the structure. Kirishima and Mineta are breathing for their lives.

Kirishima: See you on the other side, man.

Mirio: Hang on! I'm coming!

Hawkeye is running with the infinity gauntlet. He blows the place, and escapes before the enemies come. He sees Itsuka (2014).

Awase: Oh, hey...I know you.

Itsuka (2014): Father. I have the stones.

Awasr: What?!

Jiro (2014) and Itsuka come around the corner.

Jiro (2014): Stop.

Itsuka (2014): You're betraying us?

Itsuka: You don't have to do this.

Itsuka (2014): I am... this.

Jiro (2014): No, you're not.

Itsuka: You've seen what we become.

Jiro (2014): Itsuka, listen to her.

Itsuka: You can change.

Itsuka (2014): He won't let me.

Itsuka (2014) points a gun at Jiro (2014).

Jiro (2014): No!

Present Itsuka shoots Itsuka (2014) and she dies. Hawkeye picks up the Infinity Gauntlet.

Bakugo: Okay, Iida. Hit me.

Iida bangs his 2 hammers together combined with his lighting. Bakugo's suit sucks up the energy and he shoots it out using his hands and his body. Iida grabs Stormbreaker and uses Mjölnir to hit All for One. All for One uses Bakugo as a shield resulting in damage to his system.

F.R.I.D.A.Y: Boss, wake up.

Midoriya tries to attack All for One but is easily shielded away by the Mad Titan. Iida's attack on All for One is blocked by a sword. Iida is beaten and choked by All for One, as he punches him. Iida tries to grab Stormbreaker but Thanos grabs it and uses it against Iida as he tries to defend himself. Mjölnir (2013) starts to float off the ground while All for One is digging it into Iida, who looks on in amazement as Midoriya picks up his hammer.

Iida: I knew it!

All for One's (2014) kicks Iida to the ground and proceed to battle Midoriya dual wielding both his shield and Mjolnir (2013).

Midoriya proceeds to charge at All for One swinging Mjolnir (2013) and hitting All for One in the face knocking him down. Midoriya throws his shield and All for One (2014) deflects, Midoriya throws Mjolnir (2013) to his shield creating a shockwave and knocking All for One (2014) off his feet. Steves goes on the offensive on All for One using both shield and hammer and summons lightning on All for One.

All for One eventually gets the upper hand, he removes his helmet, stabs Midoriya on the leg and knocks Mjolnir (2013) out of his hand. All for One proceed to destroy Midoriya's shield with his double-bladed sword and throws him across the battlefield.

Midoriya staggeredly tries to get up.

All for One (2014): In all my years of conquest...violence...slaughter... It was never personal. But I'll tell you now... what I'm about to do to your stubborn, annoying little planet... I'm gonna enjoy it. Very, very much.

All for One's (2014) entire army is summonned to the ground which include the Children of All for One, Chitauri, Outriders. Upon seeing the army descending on Earth, Midoriya slowly gets back to his feet. With a fierce determination, he tightens his broken shield to his arm and stands against All for One's giant army alone. Suddenly, a crackling comes in on his communicator.

Tokoyami: Cap, you hear me?

Midoriya stops and looks around.

Tokoyami: Cap, it's Tokoyami. Can you hear me?

A yellow portal begins to form behind him.

Tokoyami: On your left.

Tokoyami looks behind to see the portal on his left side. Three figures step through: Ibarra, Tsuyu, and Black Panther along with the reviver Wakandans are fully restored and ready to fight as they share a look when Tokoyami zooms in from above in his Falcon armor. As he does, we see dozens more portals opening up all around the battlefield. Through one of these, we see Doctor Strange descend in. He is joined by Shoji, Hagakure, Star Lord, and Spider-Man. Everyone watches in confusion and awe as more and more heroes arrive from all corners of the universe, all backed up with forces of their own including Black Panther and his Wakandan army, Valkyrie and the Asgardians, Ojiro and the Masters of the Mystic Arts and several Ravager ships. Amongst the throngs of heroes we see Shoto, Koda, the Scarlet Witch, the Wasp, and Mina clad in her own iron suit as they arrive. Nearly every hero has magically been transported to the battlefield to face All for One's hordes.

Y/N: Is that everyone?

Ojiro: What, you wanted more?

Giant-Man emerges from the rubble of the Avengers facility with Professor Hulk, War Machine, and Mineta. The Avengers, Guardians, Wakandans, Asgardians, and Ravagers take up battle positions. The heroes standing across All for One's forces.

Midoriya: AVENGERS! *summons Mjolnir* ......assemble.

Iida makes a battle cry, and the heroes charge. All for One commands his army to charge as well. Then both sides collide. The fight switches between Shoji and Muscular, Mina and Bakugo, all which are battling against All for One's army.

Midoriya and Iida are fighting the horde as Midoriya takes Stormbreaker but Iida flies to him and passes Mjolnir.

Iida: No, give me that. You have the little one.

Later, Bakugo is seen fighting some of All for One's army. But Shigaraki punches him to the ground, then Giant-Man kicks him away and Sero runs to Bakugo.

Sero: Hey! Holy cow. You will not believe what's been going on. Do you remember when we were in space? And I got all dusty? I must've passed out, 'cause I woke up, and you were gone. But Doctor Strange was there, right? He was like, "It's been five years. Come on, they need us!" And then he started doing the yellow sparkly thing that he does all the time...What are you doing?

Bakugo hugs Sero, making him shocked, but he hugs Bakugo back.

Sero: Huh...This is nice.

Star-Lord was fighting a bunch of Sakaarans, killing all of them except one, which makes him fall over, but a shot kills him and he drops on Denki. Deki gets up and sees Jiro (2014). Thinking it's the present Jiro, as he is shocked.

Denki: Jiro? *walks towards Jiro* I thought I lost you.

Denki touches Jiro's hair, not knowing she isn't the present Jiro. In response, Jiro (2014) grabs Denki's hand firmly off her hair.

Denki: Ow...

Jiro (2014): *kicks Denki in the nuts* Don't...you touch...*kicks him again, harder* me!

Denki falls from the pain, while Jiro (2014) wipes her face.

Denki: You missed the first time... Then you got them both the second time.

Jiro (2014): *looks at Itsuka* This is the one? Seriously?

Itsuka: The choices were him, or a tree.

Denki finger points to Jiro (2014) in confusion, then to Itsuka in question, and then back to Jiro (2014).

Awase is seen running with the gauntlet.

Awase: Cap, what do you want me to do with this damn thing?

Midoriya: Get those stones as far away as possible!

Sato: No! We need to get them back where they came from.

Bakugo: There's no fucking way to get them back. All for One destroyed the quantum tunnel.

Mirio: Hold on! *shrinks to normal size and grabs a remote* That wasn't our only time machine.

Mirio presses the button, which activates Tamaki's van's Horn, which is heard from afar. Hearing so, cap goes to higher ground.

Midoriya: Anyone see an ugly, brown van up there?

Pony: Yes! But you're not gonna like where it's parked.

Bakugo: Mirio, how long you need to get that thing working?

Mirio: Maybe ten minutes.

Midoriya: Get it started. We'll get the stones to you.

Nejire: We're on it, Cap.

Mirio and Nejire share a look and they shrink. Mirio grabs Nejire, and they fly to the van.

Bakugo: Hey. You said one out of 14 million, we win, yeah? Tell me this is it.

Y/N: If I tell you what happens, it won't happen.

Bakugo: You better be right.

Mirio and Nejire enters a small hole in the van's window, getting to the driver seat, regrowing and trying to activate the Quantum Tunnel.

Nejire: It's a mess back here.

Mirio: It's... it's dead.

Nejire: What?

Mirio: It's dead. I have to hotwire it.

All for One: Where's Itsuka?

Mr.Compress: She's not responding.

Shigaraki (2014): Sire!

Juzo: Awase! Give it to me.

Awase gives Juzo the Gauntlet as he runs towards the van while fighting All for One's army. Eventually he stopped by the double edged sword, boomeranged by All for One. When it gets back to him, he charges Juzo, but stopped by Momo, which is filled with anger for the loss of Vision.

Momo: You took everything from me.

All for One (2014): I don't even know who you are.

Momo: You will.

With her powers, Momo picks up some debris on the ground and tries to crush All for One with it.

Sero: I got it! Activate Instant Kill!

All for One (2014): Rain fire!

Mr.Compress: But Sire, our troops!

All for One (2014): Just do it!

Mina: Uh, is anyone else seeing this?

Sero: I got this. I got this! Okay, I don't got this. Help! Somebody, help!

Midoriya: Hey, Queens. Heads up.

Midoroya throws Mjolnir, and Sero shoots a web and glides along, then Mina catches him.

Mina: Hang on. I got you, kid. *drops him on Pony's Pegasus*

Sero: Hey! Nice to meet you--- Oh, my God!

The cannons knock Sero off the Pegasus, then they turn to face something in the sky.

Tokoyami: What the hell is this?

Bakugo: F.R.I.D.A.Y., what are they firing at?

F.R.I.D.A.Y.: Something just entered the upper atmosphere.

Yui flies through the ship, and it results in an explosion and the ship crash-landing in the lake.

Mineta: Oh, yeah!

Mineta: Yui, we need an assist here.

Mirio finally activates the Quantum Tunnel. Yui lands near Sero, who is on the ground, weirdly hugging the gauntlet with his body.

Sero: Hi. I'm Hanta Sero.

Yui: Hey, Hanta Sero. You got something for me?

Sero: *gets up and passes the gauntlet to her* I don't know how you're gonna get it through all that.

Momo arrives as Pony flies down with her Pegasus as she arrives.

Momo: Don't worry.

Ibarra: She's got help.

Mina lands next to Ibarra, followed by Hagakure and Tsuyu, The Wasp, Jiro (2014) and Itsuka. All for One's army charges while the women help Yui go through the Outriders and Chitauri.

Jiro (2014) takes out a gorilla, while Ibarra takes out Mr.Compress. Momo and Pony destroy two leviathans. Yui then starts flying towards the van with the Gauntlet, flying past enemies and going through enemy blockades that are in her way with ease.

All for One, seeing this, starts running towards Yui, but he was stopped by Mina, Tsuyu and The Wasp, who blast him backwards. All for One, after seeing Yui fly past him, throws his double sword at the van, destroying it and the quantum realm tunnel, sending Yui backwards and losing her grip on the Gauntlet, which falls to the ground.

Y/N steadies the water after the explosion. In the final brawl for the Stark Gauntlet, Bakugo moves one of All for One's enemies aside and sees the Gauntlet. He runs to get it, but sees All for One, who Bakugo tackles.

All for One smacks Bakugo away, knocking him out. Then Iida arrives with Stormbreaker and Mjolnir (2013) in an attempt to pin All for One's arm down, with assistance from Captain America. However, All for One overpowers them and knocks them both out. After picking up the Gauntlet, Yui arrives, punching away at All for One while he is holding the Gauntlet. She keeps punching him, but All for One grabs her by the arm and flings her away.

All for One puts on the gauntlet, gamma radiation from the stones eating at him as he tries to snap, but Yui arises again, and stops his fingers from snapping, opening up his hand. All for One headbutts her, but it does nothing.

Just as Yui is gaining the upper hand by rising up and forcing All for One onto his knees, All for One pulls the Power Stone out of the Gauntlet and uses it in his free hand to hit Yui away. Bakugo looks in question at Y/N, who simply raises one finger, reminding him that the one win over All for One he foresaw is now at risk. Or is it? Bakugo nods.

All for One puts the Power Stone back into the Gauntlet, yelling from the gamma radiation coursing through him, until Bakugo makes one last attack on All for One, pulling on the Gauntlet before All for One punches him away.

All for One: I am... inevitable.

All for One snaps his fingers, but nothing happens except a metallic "clink." He sees the Infinity Stones are missing. Bakugo has the stones on his own gauntlet, the gamma radiation coursing through him, to All for One's shock.

Bakugo: And I... am... Iron Man.

Bakugo snaps his fingers with a loud "CLANG" and a blinding flash of white. Mineta fires at a Leviathan and before it devours him, it crumbles into ash. The Black Order starts crumbling to ash. Juzo and Denki look around in surprise; Midoroya looks on in exhaustion, knowing that they won. All for One, in horror, looks around and sees his entire army disintegrate. He looks at Midoriya, who just stares at him. All for One sits down and mourns before slowly being erased from existence himself.

Back at where Bakugo is, the power of the gauntlet's raw energy has left his entire right side fatally injured. He stumbles for a bit before his body collapses besides a pile of debris. Kirishima soon flies in and goes up to Bakugo to see his long time colleague and friend fading away. He bows his head, knowing the damage was done. Sero soon flies in and sees Bakugo collapsed on the ground.

Sero: Mr. Bakugo? *runs up to him, tears starting to form* Hey... Mr. Bakugo? Can you hear me? It's Sero. Hey. We won, Mr. Bakugo... We won, Mr. Bakugo. We won. You did it, sir. You did it.

Bakugo is unresponsive. Sero breaks down and hugs him.

Sero: I'm sorry... Bakugo...

Sero is gently led aside to grieve. Mina sits in front of the fading Iron Man.

Mina: Hey.

Bakugo is barely able to move his head, but manages to look Mina in the eyes.

Bakugo: *quietly* Hey, Mina...

Mina places her hand on Bakugo's Arc Reactor and Bakugo rests his hand on hers. Mina takes a good look at Bakugo's fatal injuries.

Mina: F.R.I.D.A.Y.?

F.R.I.D.A.Y.: Life functions critical.

Bakugo smiles with tears in his eyes.

Mina: Bakugo. Look at me. *she makes sure to make Bakugo look at her smiling face* We're gonna be okay. You can rest now.

With that acknowledgement, Bakugo's arc reactor flickers off for good. Mina can no longer contain her grief and starts crying on his shoulder. Katsuki Bakugo is dead.

The following days shows reunions and celebrations. At Awase's farm, he joyfully reunites with his family. At Sero's school, Sero and Shinso meet in the hallways. They share a handshake before giving each other a heartfelt hug. In San Francisco, Mirio watches fireworks with Mei and Nejire. In Wakanda, Juzo, Tsuyu, and Mandalay oversee the celebrations from their balcony. Over all this, a voice was heard, it was Bakugo's voice narrating.

Bakugo (Voiceover): Everybody wants a happy ending, right? But it doesn't always roll that way. Maybe this time. I'm hoping if you play this back, it's in celebration. I hope families are reunited, I hope we get it back, and something like a normal version of the planet has been restored. If there ever was such a thing. God, what a world. Universe, now. If you told me ten years ago that we weren't alone, let alone, you know, to this extent, I mean, I wouldn't have been surprised. But come on, you know? The epic forces of darkness and light that have come into play. And, for better or worse, that's the reality Eri's gonna have to find a way to grow up in.

Mina, Eri, Fat Gum and Kirishima all watch Bakugo's holographic message being projected from his Iron Man helmet. Bakugo is sitting down recording the message.

Bakugo (Hologram): So I thought I'd probably better record a little greeting... In the case of an untimely death on my part. I mean, not that, death at any time isn't untimely. This time travel thing that we're gonna try and pull off tomorrow, it's... it's got me scratching my head about the survivability of it all. That's the thing. Then again, that's the hero gig. Part of the journey is the end.  *gets up and walks towards his camera* What am I even trippin' for? Everything's gonna work out exactly the way it's supposed to. *leans down and smiles, looking at Eri.*

"I love you 3,000."
