A/n: sorrrryyyy I've been super busy since Thanksgiving lolol and haven't had a chance to write!
....
"Kacchan!!! Be careful!!!"
Midoriya cried out. Shigaraki lifted a hand to hit Bakugou with a combination of quirks. But his hand was pulled back by... Tape.
"WE GOT YOU BRO!!!" Sero yelled, swinging in from nowhere.
"We are here!!!" Sato yelled, jumping and punching the man.
"To save you guys!!!" Ojiro finished.
Midoriya looked behind himself to see hundreds of portals opening up. All of the remaining pro heroes and students walking out. His classmates charging into the fight.
"What..." Midoriya whispered.
"Midoriya... Sorry to keep you waiting." Another voice behind him said, Aizawa walked out of a portal beside him. "I sent out a call for anyone still able to fight." He whispered.
"Thank you... Sir..." Midoriya gasped, still laying on the ground. His classmates charged Shigaraki and Aizawa stayed by his side.
"Here... Eri saw you fighting and was worried." Aizawa pulled something put of his pockets, a tiny horn. Eri's horn.
"Eri! Is she okay?! How-"
"She's fine... She just... Took it off, I didn't know she could but... Well I didn't question it." Aizawa admitted, pressing the horn against Midoriyas back. Just like when Eri used her quirk... Time started to work backwards. The horn shrank until it was nothing but a grain of sand. It was just enough to completely heal Midorya.
He had arms again.
"DON'T KILL YOURSELF SERO!!!" Bakugou yelled, blocking and attack aimed at sero.
"Did you just actually call me by my name?!" Sero yelled back with a huge smile. "You guys hear that?! He didn't call me 'Tapeface'!"
Bakugou landed closer to Aizawa and Midoriya. His heart was beating rapidly in his chest. It was starting to actually... Hurt. The pain in his heart was horrible and dangerous. But he didn't care.
"You have to stop Katsuki!!!" Midoriya yelled. Pulling in the shirt Aizawa gave him. His new arms felt tingly and almost numb from Eri's quirk. But it was better than no arms.
"I WON'T STOP UNTIL HE'S FUCKING DEAD!!!!" Bakugou yelled, a few of his classmates hesitated before charging into the battle. Because Bakugou.... Was crying.
"Bakugou-" Aizawa put out a hand to stop him.
"HE KILLED KIRA DAMN IT!!!" Bakugou choked. Time seemed to slow as his arms laid limp at his sides. Tears running down his face.
Pro heroes charged All for one who fought them all single handedly. But the group around Bakugou was completely halted. Staring at him. Frozen in time in the middle of a battle.
"She's dead...." Bakugou whispered. Sobbing again.
"N-no way..." Mina whispered, staring at him in shock. Tears ran down her newly spotted skin. Overuse of her quirk had caused the pink tint to fade. Showing darker more natural looking spots around the left side of her face.
"What... But how..." Kirishima stammered, he was barely able to stand after his last fight. But he was still here, answering Aizawa's call.
"He's right... We saw it too." Momo whispered, holding up Kaminari who was sobbing. He had refused to stay behind, despite Momo insisting. The boy had been in a state of shock ever since he watched the fight between Kira and All for one. That combined with the overuse of his quirk made him completely unable to fight... But he still came with her to the final battle.
"Kira..."
Aizawa whispered under his breath. His good eye wide as he stared at Bakugou, mouth slightly parted. "No... How..." He was shaking suddenly. How had he not known? It must've happened when he fell through Kurigiri's portal.
"No... No..." Aizawa whispered in horror. He felt the same feeling he had when he saw bakugou collapse. When he thought he was gone...
No it wasn't the same feeling.
That had been awful and devastating. But this? This was... He didn't have a word to describe it. He felt completely and utterly horrified. Broken. Kira... Kira that little kid he had saved all those years ago.
The little girl who wouldn't let go of his hand after he brought her to the hospital. The little girl who trusted him with her quirk.
No... No he had promised Her everything would be okay.
Countless times he had told her shed be alright. That he'd protect her. That she'd be okay. That they'd be okay... He promised her...
"Mr Aizawa...." Midoriya whispered, trembling. Bakugo chatged back in, he was followed by his classmates. Now they all felt just as devastated and angry as he did.
"It's not your fault..." He whispered. Tears in his eyes. "If I had been faster. If I hadn't been late. If i had taken down Shigaraki quicker her and All Might wouldn't have had to fight All for one on their own. She wouldn't have died. Now im usless again... My quirk.. I only have the embers of One for all left... Can I... Can I still fight him?"
Aizawa stared ahead, barely hearing him.
"My students... Are dying."

"Thank you All Might sir."
One of the pilots said as the man stood up and allowed them to move him. They were calling in support, they couldn't exactly fly him to a hospital in a jet. And they also couldn't move him to one themselves.
One of the men who was trained in first aid checked him carefully. Temporarily dressing any wounds. So far he mainly had a few broken ribs, possibly a concussion and some whiplash. His suit had taken most of the damage.
He let them carefully lay Kira on her back. Eyes closed with her face to the sky. He looked peaceful, despite her hero uniform being soaked through with blood.
The pilots had checked her out too. But there was no pulse, no breath. On top of that her pupils didn't react to light and her skin was already starting to go pale due too pallor mortis.
There wasn't anything CPR or any other methods of recessitation could do.
"First responders are coming in. The police team is sending over some medics and an ambulance." One man said to another.
Including All Might there were four people stuck in the rooftop. Not including Kira. They could no longer see the battle. Everything seemed... Calm. As though the war was over. The stillness since Bakugou left was uncanny and unfitting to the situation. How could the world be going on so easily after what just happened?
How could the earth continue to turn, the sun continue to shine and the wind continue to blow as though nothing devastating had taken place?
The peace was both mocking and beautiful to the five people on the roof.
...five people on the roof?
No one knows how she got there. As usual the girl appeared out of no where. Her hair was loose, flowing in the wind. Her face just as emotionless as usual.
No one felt her presence. No one ever did.
She was a silent as the grave, as overlooked as a ghost.
Tammy Tanaka.
She appeared out of thin air into the roof. She had seen the video of Kira's death, even though it was cut off when she landed on the roof Tammy knew... That the girl had died.
She looked around at the city slowly. Still completely unnoticed by the people around her. She found it kind of amusing how they didn't even seem to know she was there.
Tammy looked at Japan, the crumbling cities around them. It was all but destroyed by the war. The girl always saw a certain beauty in broken things... They pulled her in more then perfect and completely whole things. There was something intimidating about perfection.
She almost forgot where she was as she looked at it. Then she looked down.
Kira Kokoa...
She was just as odd as Tammy was, in very different ways. Tammy saw her as an almost... Kindred spirit.
They could have been quite good friends if either had tried enough to get to know the other.
She could feel Kira more than usual. Her sprit was lingering. Even in death she wasn't quite aware of what was happening. Along with her Tammy sensed hundreds of others on the roof with them.
"Who are you?"
Tammy looked over at All Might. A sad and broken man. His face covered in tears, skin raw from sobbing.
Tammy didn't say anything. She walked over to Kira, being observed by hundreds. She ignored them all.
Death.
Tammy tasted death once and decided she didn't quite like it. She imagined Kira wouldn't either. Neither did the ghosts around them now. Neither would the people that could die now at the hands of Shigaraki.
So he had to be stopped.
Tammy stood over Kira and sat on her knees. Looking at the men who had finally noticed her.
"The closest hospital is five minutes away. The ambulance should be here very soon." She told them, pulling out a pocket knife.
"Get me there as soon as you can please."
After this simple request Tammy dug the knife into the skin of her palm. It bit into her flesh and immediately after blood came through.
Tammy looked down at Kira again.
The girl looked calm and peaceful. Death gave that sort of effect to some people. Tammy truly hoped the girl wouldn't end up hating her for this.
She dropped the blood into her mouth.
Then she immediately took her hand tightly. Blood seeping into the holes left from all for one's quirk. A touch to take a quirk.
"Please..."
Tammy thought with a small smile.
"Work... For Japan... for UA... For our teachers and friends. For Shinsou and for Bakugou... Let this work."
