Holy shit I'm back!

...maybe(?)

When All for One shifted, it was almost like all hearts stopped beating. The room went deadly silent, not a single noise but the villain's stir signaling his dreadful awakening.

"How interesting...we have company." A smirk appeared on All for One's disfigured face. Endeavor was the first one to regain his composure to respond.

"What do you wish to accomplish?" Endeavor snarled. All for One let out a small huff, as if taken aback but pleased by the question.

"No courtesy. As expected of an arrogant number one hero such as yourself." Endeavor didn't dare say anything, but his clenched fists tightened as he resisted his anger. "It is quite obvious, if I were to be honest. I desire two things—my brother's quirk and power over the world. It is quite simple, is it not?"

"What do you need them for, then?" Bakugo asked quietly, taking a step forward as he ignored the racing heart in his chest. He'd met the villain before, but to see him awake and up close was a whole other level of trepidation he'd never thought he'd feel. All for One's head turned towards him, and Bakugo knew that if the man had eyes, they would've most likely pierced through him at that moment.

"I suppose it makes sense for you to wonder that, but you see...it is quite a complicated matter." All for One hummed in contemplation. "Well, it creates a certain...suspense I haven't felt for a long time. After all, I offered the two something they couldn't resist, something they were bound to compete for to the death. After all, who wouldn't want to rule the world and change it to their liking?"

"You're doing it for the drama?" Endeavor glared at the man in bewilderment and growing rage. All for One let out a small sigh before speaking once again.

"I am also growing quite old. Although my quirk has allowed me to live longer than any other human, it is finite—however I am not planning on leaving this world any time soon." All for One's smirk widened slightly, just enough to show the glimpse of chaos he knew he was creating. "Thus, I had to take certain precautions in order to solidify my future." His intentions weren't clear with just those words, but it was enough to cause a growing sense of dread about what they might mean.

"Although it was quite enthralling to talk to you, I have certain matters I need to attend to." All for One's head turned towards Midoriya insinuatingly. "I am hoping this is the last time I need to threaten you. Please, cease your protests."

With that, All for One fell slack, leaning against the wall behind him as the smile lingered on his relaxing expression.

Midoriya and Tomura had ended up walking down the void silently. Neither knew what to do, and although they'd tried to split up, they just ended up meeting each other halfway nonetheless. Therefore, deciding to take matters into their own hands, they walked side by side, even without saying anything. Not that it was helping them get anywhere—no matter how long they walked for, they hadn't encountered a single door but the one with the goo, which Midoriya ignored and walked by with a sigh. Tomura didn't pay it any mind either, but when they encountered it once again, Midoriya cursed and kicked the door frame in annoyance.

"The hell are you doing, you freak?" Tomura snarled from behind him. Midoriya shook his head and turned towards him, planning on ignoring him or snapping back, but he stayed silent as he frowned at the man.

"Something wrong?" Midoriya questioned slowly, unsure what to make of Tomura's position. He was slightly doubled over, clinging to his head as he glared daggers at Midoriya. If Tomura wouldn't have swirled around and proceeded to stomp away, Midoriya would've caught sight of the slight redness in the man's eyes.
