Hired Gun

Deku saves a tall mutant woman being attacked by panicking civilians who believe she's a villain, having All Might escort her to safety. While surveying the city with the One For All users, he thinks back to during the conversation with the vestiges when the first user, Yoichi, requests the Second and Third users' help in assisting Deku. They reveal they were from the era when All For One was at the peak of his power and part of a resistance fighting against him, unable to agree with Deku's idealistic beliefs. However, Yoichi reminds them how they had saved him from All For One's capture, rather than killing him like they were originally going to, and that was what allowed One For All to grow in the first place. They eventually are convinced to follow alongside him. Later after taking care of some thieves, Endeavor is lambasted by protesting civilians over his failures and for continuing to keep secrets. Endeavor, Hawks, and Best Jeanist proceed to discuss All For One's plans, believing he intends to completely hijack Shigaraki's body before pursing Deku, and surmising he requires Shigaraki's hatred to steal One For All because he lacks any. Just then, Deku's GPS goes out, while All Might's car is attacked by a smoke bomb. It turns out his phone was sniped by former Public Safety Commission Pro Hero, Lady Nagant, one of the Tartarus escapees sent by All For One to capture Deku. She uses her Quirk, Rifle, to shoot at him from afar, causing him to swing around the city and attempt to evade and defend. Lady Nagant is accompanied by Overhaul, who she had rescued from Tartarus, telling him to hide. A flashback shows that Nagant reluctantly agreed to All For One's request learning about Deku's overt idealism about hero society and accepted payment in the form of a second Quirk, Air Walk.
