CHAPTER START---
---10 PM, Tokyo, Central Hospital...
In the massive plaza leading up to Central Hospital.
At the foot of the largest medical center in this part of the world, the building itself stood out from the grey and dull buildings around it.
A monument of white stone and brilliant shimmering glass dedicated to medical services and research. This legendary establishment was previously considered Japan's greatest house of medical miracles before a particular prodigy recently dethroned it.
But opposed to the usually serene and hopeful atmosphere of his place, all around it was currently in chaos. In the plaza, Pixie-Bob was currently fighting for her life.
Wearing a white top and blue dress with stockings, her scouter quickly equipped as she rushed to help in the fight.
Glancing off toward the edge of the plaza, past the chaos that was the Pro Heroes and police fighting the villains, she sees the mobs of people, scared and desperate for answers.Barely held off by the police barricade at the edge of the plaza.
"What the hell do they think they can even do here," she grumbles, her anger flowing through. These people were putting more than just All Might in danger, but also Mandalay who was still in the hospital.
Edgeshot and a few other Pro Heroes were in the plaza with her, and more and more villains were drawn to it like moths to light.
Every villain wants to be the person who executed All Might after all, that was an easy claim to fame for villains in this situation.
Up above as the fight raged on, destroying the plaza and inching closer to the hospital, Horizon was already flying above Tokyo on his hoverboard.
The news feed was playing on his phone as he approached to give him a better view of the chaos.
And looking below him, all the people filled the massive street in front of the hospital like ants, all so heartbroken and scared of the idea of being without All Might that they rushed out of their homes just to be here.
'Just to stand around being fucking useless liabilities...'
While he was making his final approach, at home, everyone was glued to their screens, including all of 1A.
Some were frozen in shock after the Kamino fight.
Others were still crying their eyes out.
And along with them, everyone felt their hearts drop when someone broke through the crowd.
A short plain looking woman, only standing at 122cm -4ft- uses her Quirk, slamming her fists together while stuck in the crowd just a few meters in front of the barricade.
BOOM!
A shockwave turns everyone around her, police and civilians alike into red paste, tearing apart the skin on her knuckles as well.
The entire battlefield is silent for a moment as shock washes over them, and in that moment she takes massive leaps forward.
The clothes and skin on her legs are shredded with each step as the shockwaves propel her forward.
"I'm the only one that gets to kill him!" she screams at the top of her lungs as she takes a massive leap from the ground. Intending to jump into the tenth floor of the hospital.
But while in mid-air, barely a meter from the ground...
"SHAMBLES!"
Horizon appears behind her atop the small crater her last leap caused, harmlessly swapped with a pebble, and leaving his board floating above -it would simply wait for him on the roof-.
He reaches out and immediately grabs onto her ankle.
BOOSTER SHOT!
He rips her out of the air and slams her face-first into the concrete floor, and without releasing her leg.
"Counter Shock!"
"Ahhhhhh!" she screams as the crackling electricity burns massive scars all up and down her body before he releases her leg, and the entire crowd is just staring at him.
'Huh, guess I need to relearn how to regulate the power of that move now that I've got so much more energy...' he thinks before turning and walking toward the hospital entrance.
He gives some of the villains a quick glance and they immediately raise their hands in surrender, realizing their window of time to kill All Might was done.
A perfect entrance to reassure the media that no matter what happens he'll always come back stronger.
The much more efficient thing would have been to simply warp into the hospital and trust the other heroes to handle this. He's sure between Edgeshot and Crust being outside they had it handled.
But All Might is about to retire, so he needs all the chances he can get to establish himself, even if that means risking seconds in which All Might could die.
'Better a dead martyr than a living cripple anyway...' he thinks while walking toward the hospital.
His presence truly did settle the tension in the air. Aside from the people still mortified by so many sudden deaths in the crowd, the viewers at home who barely saw that were relieved.
After learning Horizon lost to All For One they feared the worst, but now he's back and seemingly just as strong as ever.
And he'd definitely save All Might...right?
The moment he entered the door and was away from the cameras however, he shrank his room to just barely cover the hospital.
SCAN!
Everything and everyone within his Room was suddenly fed into his mind, giving him a searing headache that would soon fade.
But he found his patient, he also noted all the police officers patrolling the halls of the hospital and lining the walls leading up to the operating room.
Some nurses were running about in a frenzy getting everything the surgeons needed to save All Might, but they'd never be enough.
SHAMBLES!
Horizon swaps places with the surgeon standing directly beside the operating table, then looks around at all the surprised faces.
"Get out, now..."
And surprisingly they do exactly that. No one so much as opens their mouth to say a single word to him.
Leaving him standing in the operating room with Yagi on the table. Laying unconscious with a small stump where his left arm was, hastily wrapped up, his Hero Costume torn up and hanging off him as if he were a clothes hangar.
His right hand was broken up and bloodied with much of the skin completely torn off.
And above all of that, he was still covered in Gran Torino's blood with some bits of him stuck in the costume.
'Never thought I'd actually operate in a hospital...now let's see exactly how damaged you are,' Horizon thinks as he rests a hand on Yagi's chest.
The entire operation room fades away as he focuses on Yagi's body. Feeling him down to a cellular level, using more and more energy to help get him stable.
He hears the heart monitor slowly but steadily increasing to an acceptable speed.
"Ok, step one done, now let's get a visual look," Horizon says as he reaches behind his back, taking his scalpel out of the small medical pouch below his jacket, then cutting Yagi's Hero Costume off to expose his torso.
'Fuck...' he sees the previous injury ruptured, now he can plainly see why it took so much energy to get him stable, because his Quirk is so desperately focusing on this injury that it's allowing the rest of him to waste away.
Looking around Horizon sees another table as well as all the machines and supplies the doctors and nurses expected to need, and he frowns at his current predicament.
'If I remove his heart to monitor it the shock of that will kill him...time to get creative...'
Removing his sword from his hip, scabbard and all, he throws it behind him, and it hovers in the air.
He then does the same for his jacket, making sure nothing could get in his way.
AMPUTATE!
He separates Yagi's head, then carefully pulls one of the tables over with Takt and rests it atop it, very gently. Making sure not to remove the anesthesia mask.
'Ok, now let's see under the hood,' he carefully slices horizontally at the side of his torso, removing the top layer, half an inch -1.25cm- deep, and simply lifting off the top and placing it on the second table.
Now seeing the organs and still beating heart exposed -protected by a translucent jelly-like barrier of space-, he gets to look directly at all the damage.
'Hole in the heart.
All his ribs are broken.
His one good lung is already flooded and collapsing.
One good kidney already failed.
Liver nearly destroyed.
Intestines shredded.
His throat is almost entirely crushed, but the breathing tubes can deal with that for now.
I'll need to deal with the brain problems after...that'll be a whole other can of worms.
And after all of that, I'll deal with the cracked spine.
Then I can deal with the more normal things, broken bones, dislocated jaw, shattered orbital floor...the missing arm.
Doubt I'll be able to regenerate one for him, his body just won't be able to sustain that much mass, but he'll get over it.'
All of this analysis happens in the time it would take a normal person to get over the shock of seeing his organs laid bare.
Horizon immediately gets to work to save Yagi, to save All Might.
Aside from the terminally ill patients he's saved, by far his most miraculous operation yet. And certainly the most high profile.
He truly is the only person who could possibly save him...
