"Kaminari!!"

  Midoriya shouted, watg helplessly from a distance as Shigaraki lu Kaminari. A deep sense of frustration surged within him, knowing he couldn't protect his friends the way All Might could if he had full trol over One For All.

  "Boom!"

  Shigaraki shattered the ice barriers Todoroki had created, breaking through with a sirike as his hand reached for Kaminari's face, a deadly glint in his eyes.

  "I don't care anymore!"

  At this critical moment of life ah, Kaminari could no lohink about Todoroki or anyone beside him. In order to protect himself, he discharged electricity from his entire body without hesitation, trying to force Shigaraki back.

  With no time to lose, Kaminari activated his full discharge. "100,000 volts!" Lightning crackled and surged around him, surrounding his body with an interic field. He hoped it would be enough to force Shigaraki back.

  For a moment, Shigaraki's advance slowed, his haing the electric barrier Kaminari had created. But Kaminari's relief was short-lived; Shigaraki's hand tio press forward, ued by the electricity.

  The gloves! Kaminari realized. Those gloves were insuted agairicity. This wasn't just a random attack; they had pnned for situations like this. Desperation kicked in as he struggled to think of a way to escape.

  Just then, he mao activate his High-speed movement, darting backward and grabbing Todoroki in the process. He pulled him out of harm's way, stumbling slightly as they nded baear Midoriya.

  "Help me get him ba his feet," Kaminari said to Midoriya, pushing Todoroki toward him. He turned back to Shigaraki, still panting from the exertion.

  Shigaraki tilted his head, watg them curiously. "What was that? Some kind of speed quirk? Or do you have more than one ability?"

  Kaminari just srying to hide his exhaustion. "Wouldn't you like to know? Maybe if you'd actually read a book or two, you'd realize how out of your depth you are."

  "Enough!!" Shigaraki's voice was ced with fury, his fiwitg with deadly i. He looked to Kaminari with an uling grin. "Now that your ice friend is out of the way, let's see how well you do alone!"

  Shigaraki lunged again, and Kaminari acted fast. Reag into his pocket, he grabbed the small pouo had crafted for him earlier, taining fifty steel balls. He tossed them into the air, charging each with electricity, creating a shimmering barrier around them both.

  "If you want me, you'll have to gh this first!" Kaminari taunted, lightning dang around him as he activated his ability. " Lightning — 500,000 volts!"

  Electricity arced between each steel ball, f a web of golden light that surrounded Shigaraki, trapping him in the ter. As long as Kaminari kept supplyiricity, the barrier would hold, creating a cage of lightning. A slight smirk crossed his face. Let's see you dodge this.

  "What—?!" Shigaraki hesitated, eyeing the electrified field in front of him. He'd never entered anything like this before.

  But Kaminari wasn't fiaking advantage of Shigaraki's pause, he rushed in, his body still charged with electricity. He leapt high above Shigaraki, lightning crag around him, aended his arms wide. His voice echoed with fidend a calm fury.

  "Feel the pain. Experie. Accept it. Uand it. Those who don't know pain they will never uand true peace." He paused, looking down at Shigaraki with a fierce gaze. "One million volts!!"

  With a roar, Kaminari unleashed the full extent of his power, a surge of blindiricity crashing down like a thuorm. The etlefield lit up with a golden glow, bathing the surroundings in searing light and crag energy. The air grew thick with the smell of ozohe grouh them scorched by the iy of the discharge.

  Even Midoriya, several meters away, had to shield his eyes from the overwhelming brightness. He could feel the heat through his closed eyelids, hear the thunderous roar that filled the air. Across the battlefield, Momo, Kyoka, and the others looked on i the electrified whirlwind Kaminari had created.

  "That's… Kaminari?!" Momo gasped, her eyes wide with shock.

  Not far from there, All Might was nearing the end of his battle with Nomu, his time limit pushing dangerously close. His muscles trembled with exhaustio he stood tall, still determio protect his students.

  "Vilin, do you know what it means to be a hero?" All Might's voied with righteous anger, his face set in grim determination. "It means you go beyond… you push yourself further than anyone else."

  He took a deep breath, fog all his remaining power into his right fist. This would be his st ce.

  "Plus… Ultra!"

  With one final, devastating punch, All Might's fist ected with Nomu's chest, sending shockwaves that echoed throughout the building. The sheer force was unimaginable, causing fmes and debris to erupt upon impaomu was unched upward, breaking through the ceiling of USJ and vanishing into the sky.

  All Might stumbled, his vision blurring. He could feel his body reag its limit, steam beginning to rise from his skin. "In my prime, I'd only need five punches for that… but today…" He muttered to himself, grimag. "Today, I lost t."

  The shockwave of his final attack rippled through the USJ facility, shaking the other zones where the students were scattered. Tokoyami and Koda looked up, staring in disbelief as a hole was bsted through the ceiling.

  In the fire zone, Ojiro braced himself as heat and dust washed over him, his tail shing in reflex. "Was… was that All Might?!"

  At the entrance, Mia was sobbing untrolbly, overwhelmed by both fear and relief. "He's… he's really here! All Might's really here! We're saved!"

  Tetsutetsu, who inning Kurogiri down with Kirishima, looked up at the ceiling ihe force of that punch… it broke straight through Kurogiri's defenses."

  Kirishima, catg his breath, looked on with admiration. "This is what it means to be unbreakable! That's what I want to be, too… someone who stand strong like All Might!"

  Even Bakugo, standing in stunned silence, felt a shift within himself. As much as he despised feeling weak, watg All Might fight reminded him of why he wao bee a hero. "This is the world of real heroes…"

  Amid the dust and debris, All Might took a few unsteady steps back, his vision blurring. He was nearly at his limit. But as he gnced around, he could see that the students were safe. His mission was aplished.

  "All Might!"

  Hearing Midoriya's voice, All Might turo see the boy approag, supp Todoroki on his shoulder. Behind them, Kaminari stood, breathing heavily, golden sparks still flickering around him from his massive discharge.

  "What… happeo you?" Midoriya asked Kaminari, his voice filled with awe.

  Kaminari just smirked, swaying slightly as he tried to catch his breath. "I went… Plus Ultra."
