A/N: Yes we've reached over 100 followers, thank you all for your enthusiasm. This will be the last chapter of 2018 let's go out with a bang! Also a late merry Christmas to you all and a happy New Year!
In an underground bar a TV played in the corner of the room, on it was a female news anchor with three eyes and purple hair. "Good evening ladies and Gentleman we come to you today from NHA news studio. It has been a month since the brutal attack on Pro Hero Death Arms by the new villain named Bane." On the screen was shown a picture of the villain. "Authorities in conjunction with heroes are still pursuing this villain, but as of yet no arrests have been made."
The TV was muted by one of the two occupants of the bar. One stood behind the bar looking over a laptop. The villain's name was Kurogiri and he seemed to be a living cloud of darkness with glowing yellow eyes as his only facial feature. Kurogiri wore a server's vest and neck armor as his ghostlike fingers clicked across the keyboard in front of him. As he worked he heard a voice from the direction of the sole other occupant. He sighed inwardly he'd heard this same speech again and again for a month now, to the point he could repeat the speech forward and backward from memory.
"I feel sorry for you heroes who talk about justice, but don't know what true justice is. The only justice in this world is that of the strong. Only the powerful are just and you Death Arms are neither. I am the bane of your hypocritical society; you made me by poisoning me with your hypocritical venom, but it didn't kill me like all you wanted it to. No I used that venom you all spat at me. It's coursing through my veins and makes me more powerful than any of you can imagine."
There was giggling as Bane began to make an example of Death Arms. "He's incredible Kurogiri I want to meet him!" Tomura Shigaraki said giggling more as he watched the video. Tomura had light blue hair, crimson eyes and scars across the left side of his severely chapped lips and his right eyelid. He wore a black long sleeve shirt and jeans with red sneakers. Kurogiri rolled his eyes as the same questioned he'd been asked repeatedly the past month was voiced. "Haven't you found him yet Kurogiri!?" Tomura shouted.
"Calm yourself Tomura Shigaraki; this is a complicated task finding someone by a single video, it will take more time." Kurogiri responded as he heard Tomura's nails rake across the dry skin of his neck. He's getting bored with the video, which will lead to an eventual and destructive outburst. Kurogiri thought resigning himself to having to order more furniture for the bar before turning back to the computer. He'd spent the last month scouring dark web chatrooms looking for anything on this Bane character, but all his fishing had come back empty.
An encrypted message popped up on Kurogiri's screen. He took a moment to decrypt it and read the short message it contained. Who are you and why are you looking for Bane?
Kurogiri took a moment to type out a message hearing Bane's speech play again in the background. I am called Kurogiri of the League of Villains and my employer would like to meet with Bane.
How do I know you're legit? The anonymous messenger replied back. Kurogiri glared at the screen. There was no insurance in this business and criminals were rightly paranoid in this day and age, but it was a hassle to deal with. Kurogiri would rather skip past all this wasteful nonsense, but he would have to play the game for now.
How would you like me to prove myself? Kurogiri responded clenching his fist over the keyboard.
Send me your location and I'll pass it along to Bane. Kurogiri hissed in frustration this person was asking him to completely expose Tomura and himself. He couldn't do that not without the master's permission. Unknown to Kurogiri Tomura had snuck up behind him and been reading the exchange between the two. Taking advantage of Kurogiri's indecision Tomura reached around the gaseous villain and typed in their address and sent it before Kurogiri could stop him.
Kurogiri's head spread out into an angry cloud. "Why did you do that, you've completely exposed us to whoever this is! It could be the police assembling a strike team right now!" As Kurogiri ranted another message came through it was four simple words.
We'll be in touch. The connection was severed with the entire chatbox being erased.
"See, now we'll get to meet Bane!" Tomura said with a wide smile. The thought of dropping Tomura into the ocean crossed Kurogiri's mind, but he held back the urge. Tomura was important to his master so he couldn't harm him even though he was far too childish for his age.
"For our sake I hope you're right Tomura Shigaraki." Kurogiri responded going to find a glass to clean to hopefully relieve the stress he was feeling.
Fat Cat leaned back from the computer on his desk putting his paws behind his head. "League of Villains hunh?" He said to his empty office as he fished his "work" phone from the drawer of his desk. This phone contained all his underworld contacts and topping the list was Bane. "Well it couldn't hurt I suppose and it's really up to him if he shows or not, no skin off my bones if he doesn't." Fat Cat stated dialing Bane's number.
Izuku was doing chin-ups with two one hundred pound weights chained around his waist in his home. Fat Cat had really made good on his word after he had helped him escape. He'd found out about the video Fat Cat had posted about him the next day and had intended to kill the broker for exposing him to the world before he was ready, but in the week that it'd taken Fat Cat to contact him he'd come to appreciate the broker's unwarranted assistance. The people were scared of Bane, and the villains were worshipping him, but best of all the heroes were scared too. He could see it in the eyes of every hero he passed by on the street and on their TV appearances and that made it all worth it.
So when Fat Cat called and told him that he'd set up a place for Bane he was more than happy to let the broker live. It was a small house near Dagoba beach that Fat Cat had gotten for a steal since the place overlooked a dump pretty much, which also meant that there was very low risk of anyone coming out here what with the garbage piling up every day. It had been renovated by Fat Cat's men personally. Nice furniture and all the creature comforts one could ask for not that it mattered to Izuku all he'd really need is a place to sleep, a fridge, space to work out, and a lab to mix his venom as he was calling it now but it was nice to have none the less. With the lab Materials he'd moved from his old home he'd been revamping venom making it more powerful and testing its new limits for the past month.
As of now Izuku could dose himself a maximum of three times at once any higher and he would lose all coherent thought, the Venom also helped him heal faster and made him resistant to injury nothing crazy really, but as long as Venom was pumping through him he wouldn't have to worry too much about being wounded. As he was exercising his phone went off Izuku dropped to the floor with a loud thud and undid the weights having them crash to the floor. Picking up his phone he put it on speaker as he wiped the sheen of sweat from his body.
"What is it Fat Cat?" He asked sitting on his bed as he reached for a large water bottle on the floor.
Fat Cat's voice rang out clear from the phone's speaker. "I was contacted by a guy named Kurogiri from a group calling themselves the League of Villains, says his boss wants to meet you."
"Why?" Izuku asked crawling off the bed and started doing push-ups.
"Didn't ask sorry about that, figured I'd pass on the invitation to you." He said as Izuku's phone buzzed alerting him to a text. "I just sent over the address of where they want to meet. Place is called the Mahjong Bar I'm sure this isn't a trap or anything I've had some of my guys scope out the area before calling you, and they'll be nearby just in case shit goes sideways." Izuku grunted at that before hopping to his feet to see what the address is.
"Alright I'll think it over." Izuku said as he hung up thinking about the situation some. For a while Izuku had been toying with the idea of gathering people under him, after all heroes have sidekicks why couldn't he have an organization behind himself? It sounded like this League of Villains had plenty of warm bodies for him to pick through. "What could it hurt?" He asked himself as he got dressed in a pair of jeans tshirt, and his boots topping it off with a hat and some shades as he walked out of the door locking it behind him.
Izuku began walking into the city heading to the train station when on a nearby light pole he noticed a missing person poster. He walked up to it coming face to face with an old picture of himself. He looked at the embarrassed, awkward kid he'd once been and then turned his back on it. Ripping it down would have only brought unwanted attention to himself. I'm not that weak kid anymore I've changed I'm strong now! Izuku began walking faster feeling as if the eyes of his old self were boring into his back. Only when he boarded the train was he able to ditch that irritating feeling. After getting off the train it had only taken a short amount of time for Izuku to reach the bar and made his way down the stairs and opened the door.
-
Outside a hospital room stood All Might alongside Kamui Woods. All might wore a pair of green jeans and a black tshirt, while Kamui Woods was dressed in his full hero attire. The two were looking in at a still healing Death Arms as he attempted to lift a barbell. From the side they could see the weights added up to six hundred pounds making the full weight twelve hundred. Death Arms lay on the bench and began to lift the barbell; alongside him were two of the strongest orderlies in the hospital. The two pros watches as Death Arms struggled under the weight until finally the two orderlies had to assist him in putting it back on its rest. It was pitiful really a little over one thousand pounds should have been nothing to the Punching hero. In the past he could lift that with one hand no problem. All Might looked to Kamui woods as he clenched his fists.
"The diagnosis is not good." Recovery girl said as she walked out of a nearby room and headed over to the other two heroes. "Death Arms suffered severe damage to his arms. Shattered bones are one thing, but having two jagged pieces of metal rammed through them didn't help. Even with my quirk helping him he'll still need at least another two weeks of bedrest." Recovery girl paused for a moment before continuing with her explanation. "He has lasting damage to his arms, so much so that I'd say his strength has been halved at least." Stones dropped in both Kamui and All Might's stomachs. Strength was Death Arm's selling point as a hero if his strength was reduced by that much there's no way he could continue as a hero, at least not in the same capacity he once had.
"You both know what that means, which is why I suggested that Death Arms…retire." Recovery girl said, saying what the other two heroes couldn't or wouldn't.
"How could you say that!?" Kamui Woods shouted startling All Might some. "In that room is a Hero, one of the finest heroes I've had the pleasure to know and work with!" Kamui Woods and Death Arms had been long standing friends having shown up on the hero scene around the same time and worked multiple cases together they were more than just work associates, they were real friends, and knowing that his friend might not be able to continue his job was too much for him. "He's already in pain from having lost to a villain and had it broadcast all over the world, and then you go in there and tell him to just give up!?"
"Kamui please this is a hospital." All Might spoke out placing a hand on his shoulder. "Besides, she might be right." All Might said as Kamui faced him.
"What if Death Arms goes back out there with his strength compromised and tries to catch something that's just too heavy for him. He could injure himself or jeopardize a rescue. It's not fair, but that's the reality of it. Thinking otherwise would be irrational." Spoke Eraserhead coming out of the stairwell in his trademark scarf and hero costume.
All Might let go of Kamui woods as he faced Eraserhead. "Aizawa were you able to find out any information about Bane?" All Might asked as Kamui Woods went into the hospital room to speak with Death Arms. Aizawa shook his head.
"I was out there all night, I busted up three more fight clubs and a villain hideout, but nobody had any info on Bane he's completely new to the scene the only thing I know for sure is that he deals exclusively with Fat Cat, and nobody is rolling on the Feline." Aizwa said scratching his head before there was a light cough from Recovery Girl.
"I do have some good news. One of the villains caught by Death Arms' sidekicks was brought into this hospital for medical treatment. He's on the floor below us a man named Tyson Ushi, but he went by Black Bull in the fight club. He actually fought Bane, and is a regular at this fight club which is said to be hosted by Fat Cat so maybe he can give us the answers we need."
"Then let's go I have some questions for him." Kamui Woods said coming out of the Death Arms' room and heading for the elevator. The three pros weren't sure if it was a good thing to let Kamui Woods talk to the criminal, but none had the grounds to stop him either.
"You three go ahead, I'll do some last minute work on Death Arms before heading back to UA." Recovery Girl spoke as she went into the room her cane clacking against the tile. All Might and Eraserhead walked into the elevator after Kamui and rode it down one floor coming out and spotting two officers outside a room marking it out as Black Bull's. "Why don't you two go stretch your legs gentlemen, we'd like a moment with the villain." All Might said to the two officers who eagerly agreed walking off down the hall. Kamui Woods opened the door looking at Tyson as he sat on the edge of the bed his face was still bruised, but a major step up from when he'd came in. The remainder of his horns had been ground down from the jagged stumps they once were.
"What the fuck do you want?" He growled looking at the three pros.
"I'm going to say this only once. What do you know about Bane? Tell me!" Kamui shouted as Tyson laughed at the Hero's shouting.
"Suck my dick hero I ain't no snitch, besides shouldn't you guys be writing get well notes to the cripple upstairs?" Kamui's arm shot out forming branches to slam Tyson against the back wall of the hospital room.
"That man upstairs is more than you will ever be you garbage villain, now tell me about Bane or else I'll Kil-!" Kamui's arm went limp as he was cut off from his quirk and then bound by Aizawa's scarf.
"You just blew your chance Woods. All Might make yourself useful and get him out of here." Aizawa said as he tossed Kamui into All Might's strong grip.
"You can't do this Aizawa! Let me go All Might!" Kamui said struggling in the number one hero's grasp as he was carried out.
"Forgive me Kamui Woods I cannot, sometimes we heroes have to save people from themselves." Aizawa shut the door as the two Pros argued outside.
"That bastard could have killed me! I'll fucking sue his ass!" Aizawa's scarf wrapped around Tyson before he drove his knee into stomach. "Listen here Tyson. I stopped Kamui from ripping you in half because he has a face in the public, me on the other hand I'm nobody, it's not much to me if I get reprimanded for roughing up a villain, now tell me what you know or I'll start breaking bones."
Aizawa walked out of the hospital room seeing Kamui Woods was gone and only All Might remained, and he wasn't smiling. "What'd he say Aizawa?" Aizawa sighed and scratched the scruff on his chin.
"Nothing much he really didn't know anything, but what worries me is what he did say. He told me that even if he did know who or where Bane was he wouldn't say anything, which is odd after all Bane beat him to hell and back why protect someone like that?" All Might too was confused it was human to want to hurt someone who hurt you.
"You think he's scared of Bane or maybe Fat Cat?" He asked Aizawa who shook his head.
"Nope this is pure loyalty. He said he owes Bane one for taking down a Pro like he did. If he wasn't going to jail he'd have gone to join Bane. This is dangerous if he can inspire this kind of loyalty from someone he's savaged imagine what he'll do to those who have no bias against him." All Might shivered as a chill ran down his spine. It's just like how he started. All Might thought to himself. "Anyway we need to get to UA those irrational entrance exams will be starting soon." Aizawa said heading to the elevator followed by All Might.
Inside the bar Izuku saw two men one sitting at the bar and the other standing behind it. They turned to him or at least he assumed they did considering one was a human shaped gas cloud. "I assume you are Bane?" Spoke the black cloud. Izuku shut the door behind him as he walked further into the bar.
"You're just a kid!" Tomura said looking at the muscular teenager with shock alongside Kurogiri whose lack of facial features gave him the perfect poker face to hide his own shock.
"If you asked me here to talk about my age then we're done." Izuku said turning on his heel heading for the door.
"NO wait please stay! I'm sorry." Tomura said hurriedly apologizing for his rudeness. On the other side of the camera All For One smiled. Tomura was never polite to anyone but himself, so seeing him apologize to this kid was amusing to him. "He's star struck." All For One said remembering his younger brother giving him that same look all those year ago. "Kurogiri pour him a drink whatever he wants." Tomura commanded as Bane sat down several chairs away.
"Water is fine; I don't plan on being here long. Now what do you want with me?" In the past month Izuku had perfected his American accent over the last month masking his Japanese roots with ease. Kurogiri sat a glass of ice water in front of Bane as he began speaking.
"Thank you for meeting with us on such short notice Bane. My associate and I are the founders of the League of Villains and our goal is to kill All Might." There was a light crack in the bar as a spider web of fractures appeared on Bane's glass. The room grew heavy with malice so much so Tomura began to sweat.
"And how do you plan to do that?" Bane asked staring down Kurogiri putting the mist man on the spot.
"We've learned that All Might will begin teaching at UA this semester after getting certain information from the school we will arrange and attack with our followers and kill the symbol of peace while also blacking the eye of the most famous Hero school in all of Japan." Bane was silent for a moment as he thought this over. All Might, this could be my chance to finally prove that hypocrite wrong, but tying my name to this League of Villains could be troublesome in the long run. Just then Izuku remembered his old "friend" Katsuki, he'd wanted to go to UA. Izuku smiled as he stood up releasing the glass from his grip.
"I will join you." He said looking at the screen in the back of the room. "But I'm no underling understand mystery man?" He said as the speakers crackled with sound.
"Very well Bane I thank you for assisting young Tomura." Spoke All For One.
Izuku pulled a pen from his pocket and scrawled his number across the shredded poster of All Might. "When you're ready." Izuku said as he left the bar and fished out his phone and dialed Fat Cat. "When's my gear going to be ready?" Izuku asked as he heard purring on the other end.
"I take it the meeting went well. I figured it would and don't worry you're gear is in the car waiting for you, just finished it actually. Didn't I tell you that I'd handle everything, a little trust goes a long way Bane." Izuku rolled his eyes as he hung up climbing into the car waiting for him and spotted the suitcase on the backseat and opened it; he smiled as he looked at what was before him. "Perfect."
Bakugou had done his best to change ever since that day at the school he was no longer the boy exploding with pride, instead he'd driven everyone away from him, focusing only on his dream of being a hero, but unlike before he wasn't aiming to be the best for himself no he was aiming to be the kind of hero Izuku had wanted to be. He wanted to be better than his old self, and maybe if he worked on changing the person he was and being the hero Izuku wanted to be then maybe his friend would come back, and maybe just maybe he'd forgive him.
He'd tried to do this with his new classmates at UA completely ignoring everyone, but there was one person he couldn't ignore. Her name was Ochaco Uraraka, and she reminded him so much of the friend he'd lost it physically hurt to be around her, but he forced himself to be around her to befriend and protect her like he should have done for Izuku. His attitude towards everyone else in class was cold indifference or rage, but with her he was calm and respectful, this "manly" attitude attracted the attention of Ejiro Kirishima after having seen Bakugou threaten to explode Mineta inside out if he caught him staring at Ochaco again. This same event also garnered attention from the Vice Class Representative Tenya Iida who denounced his methods, but couldn't deny the results of Bakugou's treatment of Mineta.
The girls of the class were kind of jealous seeing how within a week Ochaco had a knight to look out for her and keep Mineta away while the other females of the class still had to deal with the perverted grape. Bakugou in his hero costume along with the rest of class 1-A walked into the building known as the USJ and marveled at the grand disaster scenarios around them. Izuku would have loved this shit! Bakugou thought a forlorn look on his face.
Ochaco hadn't really felt any kind of attraction to Bakugou he was a little too over the top, but the look on his face whenever he looked at her like he was in pain it made her want to find out why and well comfort him, so she allowed him to "protect" her not because she needed it, but it seemed like it made him happier. She cast her eyes over to Bakugou noticing that same painful expression on his face as Thirteen talked about the power of her Quirk, then Aizawa snapped to attention as he looked out onto the field noticing a portal open.
"Is the simulation already starting? I thought this was rescue practi-." Kirishima said before being cut off by Aizawa.
"Stay back! These are real villains!" Shouted Aizawa as he put his goggles on. "Thirteen protect the students, Kaminari try to get a signal out to the main building." Aizawa said as he jumped down the stairs and began fighting with the Villains down below.
"Shit I can't get through something or someone is jamming my signal!" Kaminari shouted sweat dropping down the side of his face.
"Get to the door now student's I'll-" Thirteen was interrupted by Kurogiri who appeared in front of the students blocking the doorway.
"Do nothing Thirteen, unless you want to endanger your student's with that black hole of yours." As Kurogiri spoke two students rushed at him Kirishima and Bakugou blocking Thirteen's ability to use her quirk. Kurogiri looked at Bakugou and remembered what he'd been told by Bane. "Kurogiri I don't care where you put me, but if you see a blonde kid with red eyes and explosions coming from his hands send him to me." Kurogiri had been curious as to why Bane would ask such a thing.
"Do you mind if I ask why?" Kurogiri had asked. Bane looked at him and simply said.
"We have history." And nothing more, so he did as Bane asked sending both Bakugou and the red head to him, before whisking away the other students to other areas of the USJ.
Bane sat on a large cinderblock in what he supposed was a partially destroyed office building with several dozen other villains. "So you're Bane?" Izuku looked up through the one sided lenses of his mask at the villain speaking to him. He was dressed in his revamped costume. He wore improved steel knuckle gloves, with steel reinforced kneepads and steel toe boots with Kevlar woven pants and a long sleeve shirt with bracers on his forearms. His mask had been the most improved. It was Kevlar woven like his shirt and pants with the design remaining unchanged, and with a metal breathing mask. The lenses were now made of bullet proof glass less likely to break and blind him. He'd told Fat Cat his quirk came from breathing, but really he'd needed the breather so he could use the new aerosol version of Venom.
"I am." Bane responded as he adjusted himself on the block. He hadn't dosed yet not wanting to do it too early and risk wasting one of the three.
"Give it to me straight Bane; you're the real leader of this whole League of Villains aren't ya? There's no way the hand dude is the boss, he looks like some drug addict! You're the only reason a lot of us came. Man what you did to Death Arms that shit was EPIC!" The villain laughed as a portal opened in the ceiling.
"Showtime." Bane said as he stood up the other villains gathering around the portal as two kids were dropped into the middle of the circle like chum into a shark pool. Izuku made his way slowly to the staircase going down to the next floor as crashes and explosions rang out. "Hopefully those idiots will take out the other kid. I want Katsuki for myself, and there's no way Katsuki would get taken out by that cannon fodder. All I have to do is wait and then make my move."
Bakugou and Kirishima let loose on the villains with Kirishima bashing into them like a battering ram knocking the villains around like ragdolls as Bakugou continued to explode any within his reach until all the villains lay on the floor unconscious. "We need to get back to our classmates Bakugou." Kirishima said releasing his hardening.
Bakugou moved his hand pinning a villain to the ground that had been camouflaged and blew him up leaving the villain alive but smoking and unconscious. "Yeah you're right let's go save our classmates." Bakugou said before a hand erupted from the floor and grabbed hold of his foot dragging him through the floor and into the second level coming face to face with Bane. The mask was more advanced, but the pattern was recognizable as the one worn by Bane. Bakugou released an explosion point blank causing a large cloud of smoke as he felt the grip on his foot loosen, but watched in fear as a fist rocketed free of the smoke and punched him in the gut causing him to vomit as he flew back slamming into a wall breathless.
Kirishima had seen what happened and followed immediately after jumping through the hole to help his friend. He saw Bakugou create an explosion and then be rocketed out of the ensuing smoke and slam against a wall. He was so focused on his friend that he didn't notice the fist coming at him until the last moment, hardening his arm to block the blow, but was horrified to feel his skin break under the force of the blow cracking and gushing blood as he was punched into the ground barely conscious.
Bakugou hadn't had the breath to warn Kirishima and only sat there and watched his friend get hurt because he was too weak. "Don't you hurt my friend!" Bakugou shouted exploding himself at Bane and released a stun grenade right in front of the Villain before grabbing Kirishima. "You have to get out of here and go help our class!" He shouted as he threw Kirishima exploding him like the ball at his quirk assessment test out the window of the building.
"You called that boy your friend?" Bakugou turned looking at Bane. He was singed all over his body, but other than that he was fine.
"Yeah he's my friend you dumbass villain! What are you deaf!?" Katsuki shouted popping off small explosions.
"You don't have friends Katsuki Bakugou, you only have victims and sycophants. You know I hoped you'd be here, but at the same time I kind of hoped you weren't because if you weren't then maybe I'd have more respect for this school, but knowing you're here means that I was right. All anyone cares about is power." Bakugou growled who the hell was this guy to talk like he knew him.
"You're just some asshole villain, so don't act like you know me!" Bakugou shouted blasting himself towards Bane and getting ready for a big right hook. He'd blow that mask apart! Right as Katsuki swung Bane grabbed his gauntlet and pivoting on his foot slamming Bakugou to the ground the floor cracking under the impact as the air was knocked from Bakugou once again, but Bane hadn't let go of Bakugou and lifted him up again to drive his fist into the side of Katsuki's face letting go as he did watching Katsuki sprawl to the ground.
"You always start a fight with a big right hook Katsuki." Bane said walking towards him as Katsuki tried to get to his feet. Blood was streamed down the side of his face splashing onto the floor. "This is pathetic; really you're nothing to be afraid of. I can't believe Izuku was afraid of you." Katsuki's head shot up looking at Bane.
"What do you know about Izuku Midoriya?!" Katsuki shouted stumbling to his feet. Bane was a little shocked under his mask. Katsuki hadn't called him by name since after he got his quirk, and he didn't say it with the irritation he'd had when he said Deku, it was almost like Katsuki was concerned for him.
"I killed him months ago." Bane responded and in a way it was true. Bane couldn't exist alongside Izuku Midoriya, so for all intents and purposes Bane had killed him. Katsuki's whole body went numb as he heard those words. His friend the only true friend he'd ever had was dead killed by the monster in front of him. Tears streamed from the blonde's eyes as he glared at Bane. Bane smiled. "There's the Katsuki I know, full of anger and rage, it would have been a shame to come all this way to find out you changed from the monster you've always been."
"You want a monster; well here you go YOU BASTARD!" Katsuki pulled back the handle on one of his gauntlets showing off a pin trigger that he pulled releasing a massive explosive wave that blew out the side of the building. Katsuki realized he might have just killed someone, but it didn't matter, nothing mattered. Izuku would never be able to forgive him. His arm dropped as the floor broke under him revealing Bane jumping up towards him from the floor below and grabbed his face as he slammed Bakugou's head into ceiling and threw him back down to the floor.
"That was close if I hadn't punched through the floor that would have blown me out of the building." Bane said as slammed his foot down on Katsuki's gauntlet smashing it and driving shards into his arms, but that didn't stop the explosion user from moving his other gauntlet and repeating the release process with his teeth at point blank range. "Always on the offensive, fine then let's see whose power is better!" Bane shouted as punched down at Katsuki's building explosion with all his strength.
Boooom!USJ was rocked by two simultaneous explosions that day signifying the end of two cataclysmic confrontations.
