My hero academia:Am I worthy?

All For One, also known as the symbol of evil, instilling fear in the hearts of enemies, left his home, heading further away so that his wife Inko wouldn't see him. He knew she would be watching his departure and decided to change his clothes and hair color so she wouldn't recognize him.

Smirking to himself that he had lived for two centuries, killed several thousand people with his own hands, and had kept the entire Japanese society of heroes in fear for almost a decade, he suddenly began to get nervous in front of his wife, who was as fragile as glass. Love is a strange thing; you seem to be a ruthless and ambitious person striving for dominance, but for the love of two people, you start to waver, questioning whether your ideals are correct and whether the little bit of happiness you recently acquired will come under threat. Casting one last glance out the window of his home, he left with a suitcase in hand, telling himself that everything would be fine.

— Don't worry, I will keep my promise and return safe and sound. — After walking far enough from home, he pronounced the name of his accomplice, which opened a dark purple portal through which the "Lord of Darkness" stepped.

— Kurogiri, send me to the laboratory. — Waiting a few seconds, yellow-gray eyes appeared in the dark purple portal, which were hard to call eyes; more accurately, they were sharp, misty eyes.

— Yes, Master, everything is ready, the doctor is waiting for you, my master, — said Kurogiri in a respectful tone, feeling fear before his master. After all, Kurogiri was a creation of All For One. Thanks to Doctor Garaki, he was created as an artificial man known as "Nomu," who had no will and obeyed only his master. The "Nomu" had no morality; they had no feelings except for malice, aggression, and bloodlust; they were merely puppets in the hands of All For One.

Entering the dark portal, AFO's eyes were opened to transparent capsules containing various types of Nomu. Some were large, unwieldy, but strong, acting as cannon fodder. The others were highly specialized but had powerful quirks of strength, agility, regeneration, durability, and absorption of different types of attacks to withstand the opposition of the Lord of Darkness.

— As I see, you haven't wasted any time, my old friend, — said All For One in a satisfied tone, examining the capsules with Nomu that were situated in strange liquids.

Doctor Garaki, who handled all the research in the fields of gene engineering and quirks of all types, had no compassion for his test subjects. All the resources he had were merely the merit of his master, who allowed him to conduct any research he desired, but everything comes at a price. The price was the army of obedient "Nomu" to fulfill his ambitions and heal many injuries left by his arch-enemy "One for All" and all its holders. The last wielder, named Toshinori Yagi, had a foolish name that an adult could come up with: "All Might." His arch-enemy underestimated the power of the Lord of Darkness. He would have died the day they first met in the ruins of a great city. Believing in the power of his quirk, he looked at All For One with pride and a self-satisfied smile, who was enraged by the fact that the quirk of his younger brother had been transferred to someone else. All predecessors of this quirk feared him or avoided combat with him to survive, but no matter how they hid, no matter how heroically they fought, everything followed the same script: the death of the wielder of the quirk One for All. And now before him stood a man—no, not even a man, but a brave, or rather reckless youth—who not only did not fear him but proudly laughed in the eyes of the "Lord of Darkness." All For One was furious that someone had challenged him with a smile on their face. His rage was like straw that burned quickly, causing him to lose control and composure as he attacked his enemy with the massed power of quirks he had managed to steal during his existence. Provoked, "The Lord of Darkness," All Might began to laugh, anticipating his attacks, dodging various tentacles, beams, lasers, and numerous sharp objects, and attacked him with one of his strongest moves.

— Texas Smash!!!

The hit was so powerful that it caused destruction and the collapse of abandoned buildings within a 100-meter radius, forming a crater where they stood. To be fair, All For One underestimated the strength and determination of the audacious youth. Blinded by rage, he allowed him to hit him, and the damage was minor; his regeneration dealt with the harm, but now after the damage, he began to attack more thoughtfully while Yagi dodged all the attacks.

— AHAHAHA! Are you the one who instilled fear in people? And you dare to call yourself the Lord of Darkness? AHAHAHA! — Dodging attacks, the young All Might bought time to the last moment, driving All For One mad.

— In my opinion, you are just a pathetic little boy playing the role of a villain. AHAHAHA! — At the insulting mockery, the eyes of All For One turned calculating, and he finally managed to regain his composure. Well-aimed at All Might, he directed his palm toward the sworn enemy, gathering energy in his palm. He wanted to shoot at him but felt pain from behind, disrupting his attack and redirecting it into the air.

— And how long have you been heading here? Where have you been? — Toshinori asks his mentors. But they shot him a fierce glare. The looks told him that now was not the time for jokes and questions.

— You certainly found time for your questions, little brat. Focus, as I taught you, — replied the man in the yellow-white hero suit plus a black mask covering his eyes and brows.

— Toshi, hold him as best you can; we will try to attack him from different flanks. We have no right to make mistakes. — The brunette in a white cloak looked at the figure standing in the flames, which was menacingly drilling the three heroes with its gaze.

— And you think you can hurt me with such a pathetic number? Before you, an entire army of heroes opposed me, and where are they now? Where are your comrades and fellow heroes? — With a mocking tone, All For One tossed his damaged jacket aside. A smirk adorned his face, and his eyes were filled with bloodlust. Despite his terrifying appearance, the three did not flinch at this.

— DETROIT SMASH!!! — All Might tried to hit him. But a force field protected All For One. Toshinori was in shock; he was exerting all his strength to break through, but nothing worked. On the shocked face of All Might, All For One just smirked, humiliating the young hero.

— Kid, you don't belong here. Get out of my sight.

Damage absorption.

Mirror.

Reflection.

Air cannon.

Force field.

By absorbing All Might's blow, he accumulated the damage and directed it towards the symbol of peace, who in turn received colossal damage and was thrown 500 meters away from the battlefield. But their plan worked: All For One lost vigilance, and two heroes managed to approach him, landing blows from all sides, not allowing him to recover.

Every strike from Nana and Torino dealt heavy damage to the Lord of Darkness. Not wanting to become a punching bag, he unleashed an energy explosion around himself, throwing the two heroes in different directions. They flew away from him several dozen meters, crashing into buildings and concrete. Each of them groaned in pain as no one guessed he had such a powerful quirk in reserve.

Pointing his hand at the symbol of peace, All For One activated a powerful red laser. Rising from the rubble, All Might regained his composure and, seeing the approaching laser, quickly jumped aside. He dodged the laser, trying to avoid being struck. But he overlooked one moment: in the building he had just sprinted past, his mentor was in a dazed state from the explosion. The laser sliced through a concrete column like a knife through butter. The building began to tremble, and the symbol of peace jumped to the 6th floor. Finding his mentor Shimura, he slung her over his shoulder. Leaping from the 6th floor, he finally jumped to safety at a distance from All For One. While All Might was saving his mentor, Gran Torino was putting up a better resistance against All For One. He lacked the firepower to counter him. The symbol of evil grew bored with all the clownery and summoned another energy wave, throwing him aside.

— And you three thought you could defeat me with these mosquito bites? How pathetic you look, — casting them a devilish smile, he looked at them as if they were unworthy of his attention. While he was delivering his speech, Shimura regained her senses. Thanking Yagi for saving her, she stood up alongside them.

— You know, I thought that three against one is unfair. Let me rectify this situation. — From behind, portals began to open from which Nomu started to emerge. There were 10 of them, as that was the maximum available at the time. Five of them were thin with dark blue skin but had sharp spikes covering their bodies; in terms of speed, they outclassed C-rank heroes.

The others had wings, and several eyes could be seen on their bodies due to unstable mutations, and they also had dark swamp-colored skin. Their beaks were covered with razor-sharp teeth, and they had claws that could easily tear a person apart.

— Aren't they beautiful? Behold my creation! — Pointing at them with his finger, they attacked the heroes at the mental command given by their master.

— We're in deep trouble.
