(Readers POV)

(Y/N): Salem!

Salem: That's not how to greet an old friend.

(Y/N): I got to get revenge for what you did to my left side.

Salem: Do you want me to match the other side?

I laughed.

(Y/N): Things aren't going to end like the last time.

Salem started to laugh.

Salem: You're right, you master isn't here to save you and die in the process.

I clenched my fist and looked at her in anger.

(Y/N): You keep her name out of your mouth!

Salem: Can't have her name in my mouth when I can't even remember it. She was so forgettable.

I dashed to her and punched her in the face, sending her back into multiple buildings. She quickly got up and laughed.

Salem: All Might, you are getting weaker. You punched way harder back then.

She raised her arm towards the sky.

Salem: I have a great surprise for you, All Might.

I looked up to see Nevermore's carrying big Schnee dust company containers. They all dropped them by Salem.

(Y/N):"Don't tell she is actually going to do what I'm thinking."

I rushed over to try and stop her. She made a Grimm tentacle from the palm of her hand and swatted me away. She opened all the containers. She started to absorb all the dust into her body. The raw energy of all the dust caused massive winds, causing me to almost lose my balance.

Salem: Do you like the surprise? Hazel taught me this trick, but he could never dream of doing this to this degree!

She had dust crystals sticking out of her and a bunch of dust spiraling around her.

(Y/N): You really are a monster, aren't you?

Salem: Calling me the monster? You really are a riot.

I ran towards her and she tried to attack me. I was able to dodge and punch her. My punch didn't look like it fazed her at all.

Salem: Is that really all you got?

She's just mocking me at this point. She punched me on my left side and sent me crashing into a nearby wall.

Salem: I see you as the monster.

I got up and spat out some blood.

(Y/N): How am I the monster?

Salem: Leaving your family, of coarse. You left your wife alone to take care of a kid and you left precious little Ruby with out a father. That sound like something a monster would do.

(Y/N): I know what I did was wrong, but I can make up for it.

Salem: Can you? I don't think Ruby would be happy to learn that you are her father. If she finds out, she might hate you. She will think 'How could the number one huntsman lie to me right in my face? He was too much of a coward to protect his family.' She will think the power you gave her as a burden, a burning reminder of the father she never had!

(Y/N): You shut your mouth!

I rushed over again and jumped into the air. I went down and punched her into the ground. I sent a barrage of punches. When I stopped, Salem was just smiling at me.

Salem: You know I'm right, don't you?

I looked and she started channeling dust into her hand and blasted me into the air. I looked down to see she was no longer in the ground. I looked around and she was above me. Before I could act, she slammed me into the ground. I slowly got up and I started to cough out more blood. I looked up to see a news helicopter.

(Y/N): Crap, I don't want people to see the situation I'm in.

Salem slowly descended to the ground.

Salem: I say, let the world see what is about to happen.

(Ruby's POV)

Everyone was still waiting for any news about what is happening. I was worried. What if we lose. No! I can't be thinking like that. All Might doesn't think like that and I won't either.

Man: Look, it's Haven on the news!

I looked over at the giant t.v. and someone turned up the volume.

News reporter: I'm coming at you live at the current situation at Haven. Haven has been put into lockdown because of a sudden Grimm invasion.

She looked down at Haven a gasped.

News reporter: Is that All Might?!

The camera zoomed in and it showed a woman with dust coming out of her standing over All Might.

Jaune: Is that Salem?

Weiss: All Might doesn't look to good.

I started to get worried for All Might. That woman is most likely Salem. She looked right at the screen and smiled. I started to get this feeling of fear. I couldn't move.

Ruby: Please All Might, won this.

(Readers POV)

Salem: How much do you want to bet that Ruby can see use right now?

I got up and tried to punch her. She flew back away from me.

Salem: Am I getting you mad?

She really is getting to me.

Salem: Lets see if you can keep a cool enough head to stop... THIS!

She raised her hand to the sky. A lot of dust went to her hand and she pointed it to Haven.

Salem: Will you try and stop me, but Haven bites the dust. Or will you take this blast head on and keep Haven safe?

She fired her blast and I got in front of it, and it hurt like hell. I started to scream and I went back into my normal form. The blast stopped and Haven didn't take any damage from the blast.

Salem: Yes All Might, show the world your true, weak, and pathetic form.

I think I lost my will to fight. I couldn't move, I couldn't smile, and I couldn't fight.

Salem: Come on, symbol of peace. Where is that heroic smile now?

I can't believe it, she did it. She took down the symbol of peace. I was about to accept my fate, but I heard a voice.

Summer: All Might!

I looked back to see Summer in some rubble.

(Y/N): Summer?!

Summer: You're the symbol of peace, the never ending beacon of hope! No matter what you look like, you still are All Might to the world! So get that smile on your face and beat her!

Salem: A pathetic last attempt to rekindle a flame that isn't there anymore.

(Y/N): She's right.

Salem: What?

(Y/N): I still am All Might. As long as everyone still believes in me, then I will keep on fighting.

I smiled and I was able to transform my left arm into its muscle form.

Salem: You can't be serious! You can't even look like the symbol of peace.

(Y/N): Then that will make your defeat all the more humiliating. I will continue to live so I can teach my students everything I know.

Salem: You are fated to die here!

She dashed over to me and went to punch me. I dashed at her and got ready for my strongest punch. When Salem was in reach, she punched my left arm. I quickly change my left arm back to normal and I changed my right arm into its muscle form.

(Y/N): I refuse to die!

Salem: You used your left arm as bait?!

(Y/N): ONE MILLION PERCENT SMAAASH!

I punched Salem in the face. I slammed her into the ground. The force was so hard that my punch caused a huge tornado. The tornado ripped through and killed any nearby Grimm. The tornado died down and I saw Salem knocked out on the floor. The dust around her broke and flew off into the distance.

(Y/N): I did it. Goodbye Salem. Goodbye One For All.
