{Todoroki POV}
Ever since I was a child, my father has told me one thing; I must beat All Might. It's the only thing that's ever mattered to him. I wanted to rebel.
So I joined the League of Villains, alongside my older brother. My goal has been to beat All Might, but not how my father wanted. I want to end his life, which would cause my father to become number 1 hero, but it would piss him off insanely. I want him to hurt, like how he caused me to.
I was almost grinning in excitement. Shigaraki had failed, which means if All Might shows up, All For One will give me a shot. I stood in hiding with Midoriya, Kirishima, Iida, and Momo watching All For One talk to the villains, while Bakugou, who had been kidnapped, was just standing there.
All Might finally showed up, and I was almost bouncing with anticipation. I tried to keep all signs of excitement hidden, but judging by the confused look Midoriya gave me, I clearly wasn't doing good enough.
All For One forced Kurogiri's quirk to activate, and when nobody would go through the portal he forced Magne's quirk to activate and shot them towards Toga, causing all of them to go through the warp gate.
Two helicopters flew around overhead, recording what was happening on the scene and audio to broadcast live. Bakugou stood by uselessly as All For One and All Might started fighting. It was hardly minute before All For One stopped fighting and began speaking to All Might.
"As much as I would love to continue our fight, I have promised someone a chance at you. I believe you'll be quite surprised, All Might." All for one spoke, stepping back a little.
I froze Midoriya, Iida, Momo, and Kirishima's feet to the ground as I jumped over the wall and slid on my ice to stand in front of All For One, facing All Might.
"Hello All Might," I smirked.
"Young Todoroki? What are you doing?" The smile had fallen off All Might's face the moment I arrived.
"Just what my father wants, although I am putting a little twist in it." Not giving the hero more time to think, I ran at him. Would he be able to fight a student?
I shot a beam of fire at his legs, he jumped allowing me to slide underneath them and freeze his back. He broke the ice quickly and spun to punch me, which I barely dodged in time. I heard the yells of my ex-classmates in the background, but I ignored them. All Might is the number one hero for a reason, and that makes him strong.
We fought hard, All Might seemed hesitant and careful at first, but as time went on he stopped holding back. I was winning the fight, my clothes were partially burned partially frozen since I was wearing that disguise, my hair was sticking to my face with sweat, and I only had a few minor bruises. All Might, however, his hero costume was torn up, blood covering his body. Knife training with Toga really did come in handy, I guess.
He was also at his limit, quickly loosing power. Being heated up then immediately cooled down isn't good for anyone, and the number 1 hero is no exception; The constant switching between fire and ice seems to be affecting him a lot.
I was about to land the final blow when living trash had to ruin it. My father burst in and blocked my hit at the last possible second. He didn't seem to care he was fighting his son, he only looked pissed his weapon was malfunctioning, which made me angrier.
He efficiently melted any ice I threw at him, and his fire combatted mine easily. I still had an advantage; I was excellent with knives.
Using my fire as a feint, I got in close and drove my knife into his chest. He could still recover, but not in time to keep me from All Might. That way I would still get the satisfaction of knowing how pissed he is.
He looked at me the way you'd look at a printer that just won't print - Mad that the machine isn't working.
I went back to All Might, drawing more than enough blood for Toga. The blood he's lost is already starting to affect him.
"How does it feel, All Might, fighting one of your students?" I could see the internal conflict in his brain through his eyes, as he hesitated to answer.
I knew the others from UA were still hiding, and that they would do something soon, so I had to hurry it up before they ruin everything. All For One gave me a chance, and I sure as hell won't let anyone mess that up for me.
"How long?" All Might asked, obviously trying to stall.
I gave a simple hum and raised an eyebrow, placing an innocent look on my face. He was already hesitant to fight me, and this is just added puppy dog eyes to the plea for him not to fight.
"How long have you been with the villains? Why?" At All Might's continued question, I noticed my father look over from his spot lying injured about 20 feet away. Ah, so he's curious too. I also saw the 2 news helicopters get closer, obviously wanting to hear what could push the son of endeavor so far.
"A couple months before UA's entrance exam. As for why, you'll have to ask the number 2 hero, who was so obsessed with trying to surpass you that he married my mother for her quirk, I trust everyone knows what a quirk marriage is, forced her to have children until he ended up with one that was the perfect "masterpiece", abused her, abused me, and abused his eldest son until my quirk came in. Then when mom snapped from all the abuse, he got her sent away to a mental hospital. He trained me for years, trying to perfect his masterpiece, abusing me with both my quirk and his, always telling me I can and will beat All Might. There's a limit to how much a person can take, and that caused him to lose two of his children, his two strongest children." I spoke loud and clear, making sure the news reporters could hear my cliche villain monologue wonderfully.
Endeavor looked pissed and angered that I'd spilled his little secret, and All Might seemed confused. Flames around my father flared, and he tried to stand but he collapsed almost immediately. All Might coughed, and his smaller, weaker form was revealed on live television. All For One had told me about his weaker form, which I immediately worked into my plan.
"I do plan on doing what I was trained for, just not in the way he originally planned," And with that, I plunged my knife into the chest of the Symbol of Peace, who had been struggling to stand the past few minutes.
I heard an anguished cry from Midoriya, and turned to see him and the others standing by the edge of the wall they'd been hiding behind. I smirked at them, playfully waving.
Midoriya powered up his quirk, presumably to run at me. I shook my head and trapped everyone in a dome of ice with their feet also frozen to the ground. All Might is dead. All For One will probably be surprised I actually pulled it off, on my first try too, and a bit annoyed it wasn't him, but overall he would be pleased there's no longer a symbol of peace.
I knocked Bakugou out, who was standing there confused and surprisingly silent the whole time, and threw him over my shoulder. A warp gate opened beside me, and before stepping through I looked my father in the eye and said something.
"Is this what you wanted, Father? By the way, Touya says hi."
