Chapter 3: Bakugo Katsumi's Origin – Dekiru/Deku
Third Person POV
Midoriya Izuku was excited as he walked to school today. Why? Because it's the first actual hero course class and All Might was teaching it. Normally, hero training would be on the afternoon class but since yesterday was the first day of school, the afternoon class was replaced with a tour on the facilities and the clubs the school offered, even though for the students in the hero course, club participation is unnecessary since they will be spending a majority of the afternoon in the hero course itself which meant a lack of time for any after school activity which was a bummer since he wanted to continue doing Judo or Boxing.
Lunch was great though. Food cooked by the lunch hero, Lunch Rush was cheap and delicious and supposedly, there was pork cutlet bowls today too. Mmm, pork cutlet bowl. The thought of pork cutlet bowl made Izuku drool.
"Out of my way, Deku." Deku felt a bump on his side before he was shoved to the side of the pavement. It was his childhood friend, Katsumi. She took a glare at him and sneered. "Wipe that crap off your face. Its fucking disgusting , pervert." He said good morning but she ignored him and walked further away.

Bakugo Katsumi POV
I met Midoriya Izuku 12 years ago when we were both 4 in our neighborhood's playground. Back then, my hair was short and I dressed like a tomboy. Well, I still do but even then, he gave me that stupid cute nickname.
"Kacchan, what are we playing today?" 4 year old Izuku asked , happy to spend time with his friend. He had not discovered his quirk yet but he hoped it would come soon while I had already discovered my quirk yesterday in school after P.E. Lessons.
"Hmph, we are going to the forest today to capture villains." With a net, I started walking towards the forest just beside the playground, not caring if they followed. Grabbing onto the fence with my hands, I blasted it with my quirk creating a hole for us to enter through.
"Man, this is why Bakugo is our leader. I will go and scout the area first." That was Torikawa Habo, one of our playmates. He too recently discovered his quirk which was a pair of wings that sprouted from his back. Habo flew off ahead of us.
" I will go on ahead. You can protect useless Deku by yourself right, boss?" The last playmate in our group of 4 was Terumi Hando. His quirk was to increase the length of his fingers. Running off after Habo, Katsumi was left alone with Izuku.
"Your quirk is awesome, Kacchan. I can't wait to find out what my quirk is too." exclaimed Izuku behind me. From what I heard from mom's conversation with Auntie Inko, they had a appointment next week with Habo's grandfather who was the neighborhood's doctor.
"No matter what it is, it will never be able to beat mine, Deku." I boasted proudly, hoping that it would mask my true thoughts.
Deku.
I gave Deku that nickname since it can be read that way from Izuku. It meant uselessness , that's what I told everyone at least, but there was a hidden meaning to it, a meaning that I would not tell anyone, a secret that I will keep alone.
This was the story of Deku and I and how our relationship changed that day.
Present Day - Noon
Third Person POV
Everyone was in their seats, waiting for their teacher to come and for hero class to start as they chatter to whoever was closes to them. Izuku was drawing on his notebook. Now that he was a hero in training, he thought about it and made a new volume this time on villains, starting from yesterday's villain on the news.
"I have... come through the window like a normal person." With a leap, All Might appeared through the open window, marching boldly to his podium. There was nothing normal about that. Everyone could only stare in confusion.
"Today's hero training activity is … Battle Simulation ! And for that , you need these." Pressing a button on his desk, the closet behind the class revealed 20 lockers which contained their costumes.
"In accordance with the "Quirk Registry" and the special request forms you filled out before being admitted into U.A., these are your costumes."
Everyone cheered, getting the chance to use them in action as they grabbed their suit case and went to the locker room. Putting his notebook back into his bag, Izuku went to grab his suitcase. "Thank you, mom."
Flashback – 4 days ago
Izuku had just took a shower after training with All Might when the house bell rang.
"Izuku, could you help open the door and see who is it. I am still making dinner." His mom said from the kitchen.
"Okay, mom." Putting on his clothes, he walked to the door and opened it , revealing a pink haired tall and lanky man and a girl with the same hair color which he assumed was his daughter.
"Ah, you must be Izuku-kun, I am a friend of your parents, Hatsume Akira and this is my daughter, Hatsume Mei. We were around town so we came here with a gift." Before Izuku could return the greetings back and invite them in, he felt hands all over his body as Mei started fondling his torso.
"Pleasure to meet you, my my, those are some good muscles but to think superhuman strength contained through this small body is impressive. You also have enhanced vision like my quirk which is amazing. Oh don't worry, I know all about your quirk from the user manual, well I was the one who wrote the manual, dad let me had the chance to write it. My first actual customer and I have not even started high school yet."
As she kept rambling on and on, Izuku could feel a pair of eyes staring into his soul. " Izuku-kun, while you may be my friend's son, I will not forgive you if you lay your hands on my daughter."
Izuku could only shiver from both the glares and Mei who was still molesting his body for measurements.
"Izuku, did you open the door? Who was i-, Oh, Akira-kun , come on in, it's been so long, we were just about to have dinner , would you like some?"
"It will be fine, we already ate, my wife is waiting for us while she shops. We are just here to give Izuku-kun his gift that you requested." Taking out his shoes and putting them to the side of the welcome area, walked in , carrying a suitcase.
"Gift?" asked Izuku as he brought them to the living room.
"Ah yes, Izuku, since you got admitted to U.A, mom wanted to support you so I send the costumes design that you draw on your notebook to Akira, since his company is in the list of support companies that U.A. is affiliated with." She poured two cups of tea for the two Hatsumes.
"After 11 years of only sending new year greeting cards, imagine my surprise when your mother asked me to make one. Since she is a friend, I made it a priority to have it made as fast as possible. It was also a good chance for Mei to invent too since she is going to U.A. too for the support course."
"It will make a beautiful first entry to my portfolio and not to mention,people say that a pro hero's first costume marks a historic moment and investors will come to me once they find out I was the one who made most of it." Mei had a crazed look in her eyes as she started talking about investors and funding.
"Well, Hisashi left overseas at that time so it was kind of awkward to contact you." Akira's phone started buzzing as he drank his tea.
"That is probably Ana, well it's time to go, Mei, could you respond to your mom while I pass this to Izuku-kun?"
"Aww but I wanted to give it to him and tell him all about the cool features I made." Akira gave a look that said "I will cut your funding by 70%." and she complied. Taking her dad's phone, she went out of the house to respond to her mom.
"Phew, anyway this suitcase is now in your hands, if you have any questions, read the FAQ on the user manual first, if you need any minor changes, just go to the support building in U.A., Power Loader-sensei would be able to help, for anything major, you will need to fill out a form and send it to an affiliated support company like mine. Well, mine is the best choice since I personally made the suit with Mei's help. I will be off now, thank you Inko for the tea. Ciao."
And with that ramble over with, Mr. Hatsume left leaving the two Midoriyas by themselves as Inko carried the empty tea cups back to the kitchen.
"Thanks, mom."
"Well, mom actually wanted to sew you one but it would be bad if it gets damaged easily so I contacted him. Akira is actually friend of your dad. They used to work together before your dad left for that stupid company in America... I mean they pay very well, we have enough to even get you this suit without using the subsidiary and pay your way to hero college if needed but I wish he come back some time to visit in person instead of a video call." Inko said as she washed the cups and prepared dinner while Izuku was looking at the user manual.
"There was also something else I wanted to say..." She set the food down on the dining table and knelled in front of her son.
"Back then when you were young, mom said something awful and gave up on your dreams so from now with this suit, mom is going to start supporting your dream of being a hero no matter what." Inko started crying, Izuku's active tear ducts were passed on by his mom after all.
"I love you, mom."
"I love you too, sweetie."
No matter what happens, this will be the costume I wear. After all, this cloth symbolizes my mother's love.
Back to the Present
"Shall we begin, my wards?" All might stood at the entrance area of Ground Beta as the students gathered around him. Everyone had suited up as Izuku was the last to enter, having had difficulty wearing it as he only tried it once.
"Whoa, looking cool, Deku." Ochako gave him a thumbs up. When his mom submitted his drawing to Mr. Hatsume, the inventor understood one thing, Izuku was an All Might fanboy and while he would have normally ignored the demands from the note, a good inventor is able to satisfy the demands of their clients as he liked to teach his daughter that.
It was a turquoise jumpsuit with black line and a circle at the chest and shoulders that was made with one of the more common materials used in most pro hero costumes, super silk. One of the more resistant materials that could absorb some of the physical force that Once And For All exert as long as it was not too intense. The suit had a red tool belt with 6 sockets to complement his red shoes, black knee and arm pads but the most interesting feature of his costume was the head piece that Mr. Hatsume and his daughter made together. It was a metal diamond shaped respirator mask that had a smile etched into the bottom of it, welded to it was a headphone that had attachments to the side of it. He remembered what was written in the user manual about it, it was probably done by Mei.
"Introducing the Dangerous Smile , my super secret no.3 invention. A respirator that doubles as a voice controlled system, it provides a set of support functions while smiling at evil."
"Function 1, passively cancels out your enhanced senses when not in use to prevent sensory overload."
"Function 2, By saying your activation code, Dangerous Smile will activate the Dangerous Eyes and Dangerous Ears. Dangerous Ears is able to assist in direction of sound while Dangerous Eyes comes with infrared and x-ray lenses to accompany your enhanced vision. To turn it off, say your activation code again. Activation Code can be edited by saying "Dangerous Edit"."
"Function 3, Dangerous Voice, by pressing the button on your left jaw, Dangerous Smile will enhance your voice to that of All Might's voice level. Dad told me to call you a darn All Might Fan boy for all of the costume suggestions in your note. Well that is all , you can find me in the support lab , I will be there to help with any improvements. Heh Heh."Izuku was confused as to why she wrote the sound she was making into the manual.
Izuku looked around, wanting to see everyone's costume and blushed as he saw the girls' costume and how it complemented their figures. Wait, was Hagakure only wearing gloves and shoes...Does that mean... He slapped himself at such a thought as Mineta looked at the girls too before looking back at Izuku.
"Being in the hero course is the best, isn't it Midoriya?" came from Mineta as he gave Izuku a thumbs up before going back to leering at their costumes.
All Might held in his laughter as he saw Izuku's costume. It was bad enough that Izuku's head piece is trying to resemble his hair and smile but the circular lines on his costumes resemble the current costume All Might is wearing which is his Silver Age costume. Way to make it obvious , what am I going to do with you, you fanboy? Was the thought in his head as he used his hand to cover his mouth to hide his laughter.
"The battle simulation today will be Indoor Anti Personnel, statistically speaking, most villain appearance happen indoors. After all, evil lurks in the shadows, which is what we are doing today. You will be separated into pairs, with one group being heroes and the other, villains, doing a 2 vs 2 battle in one of 5 different buildings. The plot of each battle will be similar, the villains's job is to defend while holding a nuclear missile until times run out or incapacitate the hero team and the heroes will be trying to capture the villain or secure the missile. With that said, you guys will be forming groups by … random ballots!"
Izuku was paired with Ochako, Shoko with Shoji, Momo with Mineta, Iida with Katsumi, Mina with Aoyama, Koda with Sato, Kaminari with Jiro, Tsuyu with Tokoyami, Ojiro with Toru and Sero with Kirishima.
"With that, the first team will be... A...and D. Uraraka and Midoriya as the hero team versus Iida and Bakugo as the villains. Villain Team, you can go prepare and setup for the next 5 minutes, Hero Team , here is the building floor plan for you guys to understand. Now then, the rest of you follow me to the monitor room."
As the rest left , Katsumi stared at Deku one more time before going up the building. Her arms were clenched and shaking. All this time, have you been lying to me?
12 years ago
Bakugo Katsumi POV
"No villains seen here, boss but there is a unsteady tree bridge that Hando was scared to go through." reported Habo.
"Hmph, watch me. March forward, Bakugo Hero Team." I walked through the bridge, confident as always after all ever since I got my quirk , I realized one thing. I was better than anyone else and I will make you understand that, Deku.
Halfway through, I fell into the river below. Everyone else marched on , thinking I was fine. I was not, my legs actually hurt when I stand,not enough to limp but i felt pain when i walk but I hid it, after all if I don't , they will start thinking I was not better than them... but then he rushed towards me. "Kacchan, are you okay? Can you stand?"
Don't look at me with those eyes.
Standing up, I brushed his hand away. "I don't need your help. Go away." We continued walking while Deku stay quiet the whole time.
I felt humiliated when he looked at me then, after all, heroes don't need help, they always win at the end just like All Might did. I remember watching him on the TV with Deku. We both admired All Might, I wanted to be like All Might, to be strong and always win but more than that, I wanted him to admire me like how he admired All Might.
I wanted you to look at me like that.
The sun was starting to set and we have not found anything that could be our villain. I did not want to go back until we caught a villain.
"Its getting dark, I am going to go home first." said an exhausted Habo whose wings looked as tired as him as he walked back.
"Me too. My mom can get as scary as a villain if I am back late." Hando waved with his long hands, walking back with Habo.
"Maybe we should go back to before our moms get worried." It was just me and Deku now. I ignored him and went deeper into the woods. He followed me anyway, probably scared to walk back home alone.
We heard rustling of the leaves as we reached a small glade in the forest and in an instant, we were surrounded by wild dogs. Smiling happily, I thought I finally had a chance to show off my quirk, too bad it was only just Deku that will be able to see. At least, it will show him how amazing I was.
"Awooooo!" They howled hungrily and in that moment , I fell on my butt in fear. I was afraid of them as they circled us , forcing our backs to a tree. I wanted to cry for mom but I know she was too far away. They pounced and for a moment , I thought this was maybe the end of us two foolish kids.
"Get away from her!" Deku rushed forward, I can still see he was afraid but he was standing there to... protect me. He was holding the net that I brought like a beating stick. As the wild dogs pounced, he managed to fend a few off but then...
"Ahh!" Another dog came and bit into his hand. He dropped and fainted from the pain.
"Deku!" I raised my hands as the wild dogs surrounded him. My palms were sweating from fear. And then, a big explosion could be heard from where we were.
On that day, I found out not how amazing my quirk was, but how terrifying it was.
Present Day
Third Person POV
"Hero Team, You have 15 minutes and your time starts … NOW!"
Using Ochako's quirk, they sneaked up to the third floor with ease. Izuku grabbed Dangerous Smile that was hanging on his neck and fasten it to his mouth.
[Sense Danger On]
Using his heightened hearing, he signaled upwards towards Ochako, telling her that someone was above them and from the sound of it, it was probably Iida ranting. He tried searching for Kacchan but before he could, he hears a presence coming near Ochako.
"Uraraka, watch out!" Just as he said that, Katsumi appeared from the corner and launched a sneaky explosion blast.
"Die!" An explosion rocks the building and as the dust settles, Katsumi could see Uraraka unharmed but Deku was bleeding from his right ear. Dammit,I forgot to turn it off in time.
Izuku's right ear had suffered damage from a hearing overload of the explosion that he took as he pushed her to the side."I knew you would come straight for me, Kacchan." His ears were still ringing as he got into a combat ready stance.
"Nice dodge, Deku. This time, I won't miss." With a blast to the back from her left to propel herself forward, she was going to sock him with a right punch. Two arms grab onto her right elbow.
"I also know you always prefer swinging your right fist more in a fight." Using her body's momentum against her, he threw her down with a Judo move, knocking the wind out of her. "Remember that notebook you exploded and chuck out of the school window? The first entry there was an analysis about you!"
Katsumi made a small blast, kicking up dust to create a smoke screen. "So what, you are still the worthless Deku from before!" From the smoke, she jumps at him using her left this time to punch him. As if he knew she was going to do that too, he grabbed her left arm and threw her to the nearest wall , breaking it down as Katsumi flew through the room.
"And after I told you about your constant use of the right hand , you will consciously use your left in the next move." He moved his body into a boxing stance.
"Kacchan, you gave me this nickname , Deku and said it meant I was worthless but... now to me, Deku means I can do it. I won't be your punching bag forever."
For some reason, Katsumi was more pissed than ever. " I am going to mess you up just enough to not get disqualified."
"You go on ahead, Uraraka. Remember the plan." Given the go ahead, Ochako went ahead to stop Iida and retrieve the weapon.
"Where are you looking at , you bastard?" In that moment Izuku turned his head to talk to Ochako, Katsumi was in front of him as she launched another explosion at his torso, blasting him into the next room.
As Katsumi walked into the room that she blasted Deku into, Izuku was already gone.
"Where the fuck are you hiding? Was it fun lying to me this entire time that you did not have a quirk? Deku!"
"I wonder what Bakugo keeps shouting about, since we can't hear what they are saying?"The rest of the students were looking at the current cat and mouse chase between Midoriya and Bakugo.
"Midori's moves were sick but I wonder why he has not used his super strength quirk yet to beat Bakugo." Ashido wondered as she stared at the screen where Midoriya was sneaking through the corridor.
"It's probably because usage of his quirk is still a risk especially since they are indoors. One wrong move and the entire building goes down. He probably knows it and is waiting for a good time to use it." Yaoyorozu inferred that as the reason behind Izuku's choice of action.
Seems like she's not chasing after Uraraka at least and Iida would have been the better choice as vanguard with his mobility, that would mean Kacchan is rampaging because of me. I will make use of this situation then. I will make him go to that location. That is the only way I know to win this.
"Finally found you, Deku. Well , seeing as you keep stalking me , you probably know about how the sweat from my hands turn into nitroglycerin, well if the support company honored my design of this gauntlet then this should work. Don't worry , you won't die since it's not a direct hit."
Before All Might could stop her, she pulled the pin on her right grenade gauntlet, aiming her hands in Izuku's direction.
[One Liter Bomber]
Izuku crashed into a wall as one side of the building has a massive 2 story wide hole in it. Uraraka and Iida were forced to stop moving for a moment as the entire building trembled violently.
"This time, You better use your quirk. I want to crush you at your strongest, Deku." Katsumi smiled menacingly as she walked towards him.
Meanwhile...
Uraraka had just arrived at the floor above, applying her quirk on her feet to make her footsteps soundless. She noticed that there was nothing in the area for her to use her quirk on.
"Mwahahaha. As it is my duty to adapt a villain's role in this exercise. I shall become the ultimate evil. Sorry, brother for using your name in vain but for this 7 minutes left , I am Reverse Ingenium. Mwahahaha."
Uraraka couldn't hold in her laughter as she hears his monologue, giving away her position. Oh Crap.
"So you have come, Uraraka. As you can probably see , I have enacted a counter plan against you by removing all objects in this floor. Your tricks won't work here, Hero! Nyahahahaha." Uraraka could only continue laughing.
A loud shout from Bakugo could be heard before they felt a massive explosion happen below. Uraraka and Iida were forced to stop moving for a moment as the entire building trembled violently.
Back to Deku vs Kacchan...
"Deku, Iida has spotted me. I am near a pillar by the window." With that, Deku's plan is almost in motion. All he had to do now is tell Katsumi how he really feel.
"Young Bakugo. If you use that move again, I will forcibly end this match and your team will lose. Massive attacks like that indoors will only destroy your stronghold, it's a bad move that will hurt yourself."
"God damn it, whatever. Are you holding back on me? You better start using your quirk. Now, die!" She launches herself forward at Deku again, ready to blast him close range.
I will start with 1%, come closer, closer... Now! Izuku was ready to fight back now.
Flashback - 1 week ago
"Well, young Midoriya, congratulations, you have somewhat reached a good amount of control, which means one thing. Super moves!... There is one thing I want to say about that since it's you, my darn fanboy."All Might wiped the sweat as he looked at his protege. The area around them was a wreckage. He will have to buy Cementoss a drink later for the trouble.
"What is it, All Might-sensei?" Izuku was half naked, there were bruises around his body as he stood there, breathing heavily for air.
"That is … you are not allowed to copy my moves."He does a soft chop to the head to his student before continuing. "While imitation is the best form of flattery, a hero needs to carve their own identity and as such, you should think about what you want your super moves to represent. I also want to talk about that ironic flaw in your quirk. Since you already have control, we shall train your body to use it more efficiently. Break time is over." All might goes back into a stance and Midoriya does the same.
"Yes, Sir."
Back again...
[1% Tokyo Smash]
A straight punch to Katsumi's stomach with a sudden 1% speed boost from his feet. This was one of the few moves he has that does not have a drawback. It was not strong enough to slam her into a wall but at least, it pushed her far back.
"1%? You are fucking holding back on me, aren't you? If you ain't gonna knock me out then I will!" Katsumi blasted towards Izuku again, faster than before as Deku drew his right hand into a fist , drawing the power of his quirk into it. Just as she was about to reach , she unpredictably created another explosion with her hands spinning her body sideways. Izuku was caught surprised by the move. Her foot slams into his guts as he crashed to the ground.
"For the past 11 years, you have been hiding this quirk, didn't you? So you can mock me, is that it? Ever since we were kids, you were looking down on me, weren't you?
"You are wrong, you are fucking wrong, I...I … always looked up to you and because of that,more than anything, I want to win, I want to beat you, you idiot!
"Stop looking at me with those eyes, you damn nerd." She charged forward with another explosive launch, this time adding rotational force into it as she spun forward. This move is incomplete but I will break your face with it.
Putting some power into his legs, he dashed forward with a leap, his right hand was finally filled with enough power. In a flash, the air pressure changed and when he leaped , the place he was standing before shattered from the intensity. His right hand that was cocked straight, turned upwards, ready to uppercut. "Uraraka, Now!" With the cue from Izuku, Ochako grabbed tight on a pillar near her.
[Howitzer!]
[Tokyo Uppercut!]
Izuku brought another arm to block Katsumi's attack from hitting his face directly, as his uppercut destroys the floors above from sheer force. His feet sank into the ground, preventing him from being blown back, his left arm that was blocking the attack burned from the explosion. Dangerous Smile and part of his costume was damaged from the explosive impact as the rubble above continue to rise higher and higher.
"Sorry, Iida-kun. Since I have no objects, it's improvisation time." Making the pillar weightless , she used it as a bat and the rubble around them as baseballs.
[Comet Home Run]
"That is not what a home run is suppose to be." While Iida was distracted from the incoming rubble attack, Uraraka floated herself towards the missile and secure it.
"Kacchan, I wasn't holding back on you, its just that my quirk has a drawback, the superhuman strength requires me to keep my body tensed up while it draws power so to use it at 100%, I have to hold it in for a long time. I truly saw you as a goal to be beaten." As he said that, he fainted from the damage he had taken to secure his victory while Katsumi could only stare wide eyed, realizing what had happen.
"The Hero Team Wins."
While the three went back and had a peer review with All Might and their classmates, Izuku was sent to Recovery Girl's office to heal up as his costume was sent to the support building where Hatsume Mei had the pleasure of retouching her baby once more.
"It's ironic that the losing team is nearly unscathed while the winners are down for the count." commented Shoji.
"They lost the battle but won the war, so to speak." mused Tokoyami.
"It's just training, though. Kero." retorted Tsuyu.
I lost...Deku read me like a book...A part of me wants to be happy that he did but I lost...I totally lost to Deku. Katsumi punched the crumbling wall.
After reviewing the battle, the next team was Todoroki Shoko and Shoji Mezo as the hero team and Ojiro Mashirao and Hagakure Toru.
Immediately, after warning her partner to leave the building, Shoko had froze the entire area and the two villains inside, a straight forward victory in under a minute.
"Hero Team B won!"
"Sorry about it, but we are just in different leagues." With the victory, she used her fire power to melt the ice away and warm the two up.
Ashido Mina and Aoyama Yuga (Hero) vs Yaoyorozu Momo and Mineta Minoru (Villain)
As soon as the hero team stepped in, the door behind them was sealed shut with a boulder as traps started activating left and right.
[Acid Veil]
Instinctively, Ashido releases a wall of acid as purple balls came flying at them. They melt in contact with the wall as she tries to locate her hero partner. A moment later, the sound of a cannon could be heard as Aoyama was launched out of the building , he had been knocked out.
"Aoyama!"
"Ashido-san, I am a villain now so I have to do some villain acts. Hehehehehe." Mineta's creepy voice popped from her behind while she was distracted by Aoyama flying out of the building.
"Pervert!" Ashido socked him in the jaw with her fist, knocking Mineta out. Ashido did not see Momo sneaking up on her when she punched Mineta out cold as Momo used the distraction to knock out the pink girl with a metal staff she had created.
"Villain Team C won!"
Kaminari Denki and Jiro Kyoka (Hero) vs Koda Koji and Sato Rikido (Villain)
Before they entered the building , Jiro had already noticed that birds were circling around the building. Stabbing her earphone jacks into the wall, she uses it to find for the two villain's location.
"They seem to be on the 3rd floor, so this is what we are going to do, I will use my quirk to make a distraction, you sneak in and zap them when necessary." Putting her foot on the building's exterior wall, she plugged her jack into her right boot and unleashed a sound wave of her heartbeat at the upper floors, causing the flock of birds to scatter while cancelling out the footsteps of Kaminari.
"Ah, the birds got scared. What are we going to do?" cried Koji as he became more scared and nervous.
"Don't worry about it, you just guard the objective. I think they are using it as a distraction while one of them come up so I am going to go down and stop them. As Sato left downstairs, he did not see the window silently opening from the outside as Kaminari had came in from the side staircase that they had forgotten about.
A minute after Sato left downstairs, Koji felt a hand aimed at his back. "If you move , I am going to zap you." He proceeded to tie the boy with the capture tape as he secured the objective.
"Mission complete, Jiro. Why don't you and I get some lunch later?" as they could hear All Might-sensei declaring them the winner.
"We already had lunch and also, no." Jiro took off the communicator and walked back to the monitor room, leaving a rejected Kaminari.
Tokoyami Fumikage & Asui Tsuyu (Hero) vs Kirishima Eijiro & Sero Hanta
Sero had covered the area around the missile with his tape, preventing the hero team from retrieving the object easily as Kirishima got ready into a stance, being vigilant as the bell had rang, the villain team were going for a defensive strategy.
"Are you ready, Asui?" Tokoyami got into a stance , ready to jump as Dark Shadow was at his behind.
"Call me Tsu, Kero." And with that, she leaped towards and wrapped her tongue over Tokoyami, launching him higher as he would then grab onto her and launch her to the roof. While they used this method to go up the roof, Tsuyu had discovered the location and current situation of the objective. Relaying the information to her partner, they came up with the next step of the plan changing from purely securing the objective to having to fight them due to the circumstance revolving the tape.
Tokoyami led the charge as he crashed through the window. "Dark Shadow, now" "Party's over." Dark Shadow aimed for Kirishima as it slams the hardened boy through a wall, aiming to capture him. Sero was about to shoot his tape at Tokoyami when Tsuyu's tongue wrapped around him and pulled him out of the building with her. As Sero was sent flying out of the building, his hands were still free as he taped Tsuyu to him, pulling her with him as they both crashed into the building on the other side of the road, knocking both of them out.
Kirishima was taking in all of the damage from Dark Shadow's blows. His hands had cuts and bruises as they start to lose their hardness. With a last ditch effort, Kirishima jumped to the side and pulled on one of Sero's tape traps, bringing the pillar behind Tokoyami to slam on his back as he is pulled forward to Kirishima whose hand was cocked, ready to punch."
[Riot Punch]
Copying the moves of the hero he admired, he punched Tokoyami in the gut with his hardened fist as the pillar behind Tokoyami slams into him too, knocking the two out.
"... is that a win or a draw?" asked Kaminari, watching from the monitor room with the rest of his classmates.
"Well, seeing as the objective of the villains was to prevent the hero team from retrieving the weapon, they succeeded even though they are both knocked out."
"Reality is there would be the police force around to assist the heroes but in this interesting situation, Villain Team J wins."
"Well done, everyone! No serious injuries apart from Midoriya but all of you did splendidly, considering this was your first hero exercise. Now off you go, after school ends, you can visit the nurse office if there is any lasting pain. Off I go." As he rushed off , he looked back at Bakugo who was still distraught over her loss to Midoriya.
I will need to give that girl some counselling later. I barely have enough time for one class, damn. Rushing into a teacher's only room, All Might was forced to transform back into his normal form as he walked towards the nurse's office to see how Midoriya was doing.
Izuku was already awake when All Might came in, listening to Recovery Girl berate him for the reckless move he pulled. Izuku's left arm was the only thing bandaged, having suffered major damage from Katsumi's full blown incomplete attack.
"You are finally here, Toshinori. Jeez, I was just telling the boy how reckless he was, but this is your fault. Why didn't you prevent that?"
Toshinori Yagi sat on the side of Izuku's bed. "Sorry, Recovery Girl. I just saw the look in his eyes like he needed to say something to her and Midoriya, were you able to say everything you wanted to her?"
"There is one more thing... but I will tell her later." Izuku rubbed the bandage around his left arm.
"Well, seeing as you are healthy enough." [Texas Smash] He punched Midoriya in the face, not enough to injure but there was a lingering pain to his cheek.
"My evaluation of your performance is that you were pretty reckless and responding to a villain's petty grudge anger is just as bad as unable to control oneself and acting upon said grudge. Not to mention, your moves are still copying me, it's just a different name but we will work on that later. I have a teacher's meeting to get to."
"You can leave now, Midoriya-kun since you are awake. The injury on your arm will recover in a day. Come back tomorrow and see me." Recovery Girl placed a piece of candy on his free arm.
When Izuku reached back to his classroom, school was already over but some of his classmates were still around to chat.
"Oh, Midoriya is back, that fight of yours was manly and so were those throws."
"Thanks Midori on that acid wall suggestion. It helped even though we lost." Ashido,Kirishima and a few others came up to talk to Izuku about the exercise they just went through.
"Deku, your arm! Did you get it healed?" Uraraka was worried at the bandaged arm.
"Recovery Girl said it would heal in a day, she wanted me to understand the severity of the injury. Uh... anyone seen Kaccha- I mean, Bakugo?" asked Izuku. Ochako told him she just left right before he came in. He apologized, saying that he needed to talk to her about something and ran to find her.
"Kacchan, wait up. I need to tell you some thing." Katsumi stopped in front of the gate, she turned back and looked at him.
"I got this quirk from someone else, I can't tell you who it is, but I wanted you to know. I got it last year but even so, I am going to make it my own one day and overcome you with my power." Izuku stared into Katsumi's eyes which started to seem angrier.
"Shut up! What the hell... I lost to you and when I watched everyone else, especially that ice bitch, no way I can measure up to her. Dammit. You too, Deku. I promised I would become stronger. … From now on , I am going to beat all of you!" She turned to walk away, tears starting to drop. Izuku could only watch her walk away.
"Enjoy your win, I will never let it happen again."
I will never let it happen again because I promised you Deku , I will become stronger.

Bakugo Katsumi POV
The wild dogs had ran away, some injured, most scared away from the explosion caused by my hands. I was carrying Deku on my back, he was at least not heavy to carry but I was getting tired. There was blood on my shirt , it was Deku's blood. I had tore a bit of his shirt to wrap around the wound.
"Deku, wake up, Oi!" I started to cry , any 4 year old would after something like that. In my blurred vision , I did not see the hidden tree roots and tripped, spraining my ankle. Deku crashed into the ground with me and rolled to the side.
Crawling towards him, I held onto him crying. "Please, Deku... Wake up, please." I was suppose to be fearless but he was there in my moment of weakness, Deku saw me at weakest. A part of me was scared that he would tell everyone how scared I was but now, I just wanted him to just wake up.
"I promise I will become stronger so please wake up, Deku." My tears dropped onto his face. He still wouldn't respond.
"Didn't you say you wanted to become a hero too... Heroes don't sleep so you have to wake up... please...Deku. I– I know I gave you that stupid nickname and I was embarrassed to tell everyone why I gave you that nickname so I told them it meant you were useless... but I wanted to actually tell you that I called you that because it meant that You can do it... The Deku that I gave you was short for Dekiru... You can do it , Deku...You can be my hero...so please, wake up. I promise I will become stronger to protect you."
For those 5 minutes before our moms came with flashlight and rescued us, it felt like hours had gone by as I cried there, begging him to be awake. Those 5 minutes became my personal nightmare, a nightmare where I lost him but it also became my resolve... to never let him get hurt again for my sake...even if its to destroy his dreams of being a hero at one point. It was not long after when I discovered that he could never become a hero and was quirkless or so the world thought.
That was the story of Deku and I and how our relationship changed that day.
Author's Note
So there you have it, Bakugo's reason for wanting to get stronger. I wanted to have their relationship/rivalry to stem less from misunderstanding and a one sided promise fit the bill. Bakugo's tsundere feelings are for now not love, or at least that is what she thinks due to all of that rage and frustration pent up in her.
I couldn't find the actual names of the two other kids that were in Izuku and Katsumi's childhood group so I made them up.
Also from this point on, we will start diverging from canon. Some events will be pushed forward.
As always, leave a review. Every feedback helps me improve. Still looking for a beta reader, not sure how beta reading works still so looking for guidance as well.
