Icarus

Those in the audience that knew of Icarus's story softly gasped.

*I DONT OWN THIS VIDEO! THE COSPLAYER ON TIKTOK DOES! HER NAME WILL BE PLAYED SHORTLY AFTER THE VIDEO HAS PLAYED*

The screen shows of people from class 1-A walking to near by café. Aizawa and a few teachers with them. They all seem very somber and distraught.

"Listen kids. I know you're all pros now. But remember, you're allowed to gr-" Aizawa's speech was cut short by all the TV's around them flickering.

"Hello, sorry for this interruption. We at **** News have an announcement. As you all know. Pro Hero: Deku has fallen"

Soft gasps were heard throughout the audience. Not a word was spoken.

"Our Number One, our Symbol of Hope has fallen. Protecting the world from what would have been our demise. He fought so we could live in peace. He knew the day would come, and has sent out a video with the hopes of you all listening."

The world was quiet. People have stopped their cars and have gotten out to see what was going on.

Class 1-A stood there shell-shocked.

There on the screen, showed their beloved Deku, in all his glory.

"I am Icarus.
Many saw my death as tragedy and this is very wrong."

"It's not wrong!" Uraraka cried

"In my opinion, they did not tell you,
when Apollo gave me wings,
They did not tell you that I knew I would burn in flames" He smiled slightly

'Why would problem child think that?' Aizawa thought

"I knew,
You see I knew the agony I would face and as I fell,
I knew I did it for the sun"

"Is he saying he did it for us? Or the whole if Japan?" Shinsou asked

"I believe that's what he is saying, yes." Nezu replied

"As hot burning wax slithered down my spine,
As seductive kisses of agony peppered my skin and muscles,
I laughed." He smiled sweetly, reassuringly.

"But.. why?" Kamanari asked sadly

"MAYBE IF YOU'D SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU'D FIND OUT!" Bakugo yelled, Kamanari shrunk in his seat.

"I laughed as where I saw beauty,
Other's saw pain.
I loved it you see,
It was addictive,
And even Dionysus would marvel at my insanity...
There is no beauty,
Without pain."

"So.. he's saying, that for the pain of his loss, we should be seeing the beauty that came from it.." Momo muttered quietly to herself.

Iida looked to her with realization.

"And now as I wait for judgment in the land of Hades,
I asked myself..
'Was it worth the fall, for the sun?'"

On screen it shows him smiling wide
"And I answer.
Yes! Yes it was!"

The audience was dead quiet.

Then All For One spoke "It seems as though, his selflessness was what everyone in that timeline needed." He smiled softly.

They all looked to him with bewilderment.

"You see, my death may seem like a tragedy to you all. But to me, it is something I've known would happen for a very, very long time.

I knew that I would give my everything, my life, to make the world keep turning for all I care about.

To my former class, my teachers, my mother, All Might and everyone I know, thank you. I hope you can live happily and in peace. My death was for you, and the people all around.

So for my final wishes,
Do not mourn me,
Do not let my death stop you from doing amazing things.
Keep pushing yourselves.
With my death, make the world a better place.
Please, live. Continue to give that peace.
I love you all.
Plus Ultra!" He smiled and waved to the camera.

The screen turned black and came back to the news reporter.

"I suppose.. we should not let his death be in vain. Let's continue to smile, as he once did. I hope you all live happy lives. Thank you"

All screens go back to normal as the class and teachers just sit there in aweh. Tears streaming down their faces.

The screen goes black.

"Well?" Ava asks

They sit in silence for a moment, and Inko speaks with tears in her eyes "He.. He would do that. If he could make the world safer and a better place for everyone he cares about, he would do that.."

"Problem child and his stupid self-sacrificing tendencies..." Aizawa muttered

Hizashi looked to him "Your kids are amazing Sho." He spoke softly with tears if his own

"I know.." he hid his small smile in his capture weapon.

"Would he really do that for us?" Kirishima asked

"Of course the idiot would. He's always been like that." Bakugo stared at the screen.

"He'd give his life for us to live easier." Momo turned to Inko "Midoriya-San-"

"Please, call me Inko" she smiled softly

"Inko-San.. your son is truly one if a kind. I'm glad we have all gotten to know him. Thank you for raising him right." She bowed

Soon most of the class was standing and bowing to her

"N-No stop that! S-stand up! Th-Thank you all really.." she cried "He never had friends before all of you.. so no, thank you"

They all smiled at this selfless woman before them.

"Let's get back to American hero shall we?" Ava clapped
