The battle between Bakugo and Tokoyami hadn't lasted that long. While Dark Shadow was an impressive and powerful Quirk, Bakugo's Quirk was literally it's biggest weakness and counter. And Tokoyami wasn't exactly the best when it came to close quarters, hand to hand combat. Bakugo had won by making Tokoyami surrender.

This was it. The final battle between the last two students that had fought valiantly to get here.

They were met with the crowd's cheers when they stepped out of their hallways. Kevin looked calm with that little smirk of his while Bakugo looked more determined than anyone had ever seen him, a murderous glint appeared in his eyes.

They walked up to the arena, ignoring Present Mic's excitement filled screeching. No, they'd rather stare each other down. Their eyes spoke for them.

'I'm going to win.'

They met in the middle, still staring at each other. It was if they were in their own little worlds.

"Would either of you like to say something before the battle starts?" Midnight asked.

"Hmm, may the best man win." Kevin held out a hand, and Bakugo ignored the low moan Midnight had let out. "Let's give them a show they'll never forget, kay?"

With a 'tch' sound, Bakugo slapped his hand away, drawing boos from the crowd (and a growl from Midnight that again, he ignored).

"Contestants, to your sides of the field!"

"Such a shame. You shoulda shooked my hand. Oh well, your funeral." Bakugo heard Kevin whisper, just enough for only him to hear. That smug little bastard! HE'D SHOW HIM WHO WAS GOING TO HAVE A FUNERAL!

They walked to their sides, Kevin cracked his knuckles while small explosions were already going off in Bakugo's palms.

"Ready? Begin!"

Kevin's right foot turned, causing concrete to rise and encase both of Bakugo's feet, keeping him trapped in place. He rushed forward, concrete from the arena rising from the ground to slowly cover each fist. When close enough he pushed off the ground with his right foot and jumped into the air, his right fist pulled back and ready to deliver a devastating blow.

Bakugo bent down and grabbed onto his feet. With an evil grin he caused an explosion that not only freed himself, but also launched himself above Kevin before he could punch him. The crowd gasped at the tactic, as well as when Bakugo aimed behind himself at Kevin, whose back was still turned.

Bakugo set off another explosion, which launched him away and to Kevin's side of the arena. Black smoke and dust rose from where Kevin once stood, and many were worried that the battle was already over. The worry died down when the smoke cleared and revealed that Kevin had set up a wall behind him to block the attack. With a growl Bakugo landed and faced the wall.

There was rumbling under his feet, and before Bakugo could dodge a hand broke through the stone and gripped onto his ankle. Kevin popped out of the ground, his right-hand glowing orange and red.

The blonde-haired teen smacked away Kevin's hand and grabbed onto his face before setting off another explosion. Instead of screaming in pain like Bakugo hoped, Kevin disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"What?!"

"Clones can use Quirks dummy!"

Bakugo exploded himself into the air, just as Kevin came up from behind and slammed Bakugo's original position with a giant mallet of concrete. The bad-tempered boy landed on the other side of the field, just as Kevin lifted the mallet and leaned it against his right shoulder.

"Stop being a coward and using your clones! Fight me like a man!"

"But where's the fun in that?!" Kevin laughed, before throwing the mallet at Bakugo.

Bakugo launched himself into the air again, before aiming his hands behind himself and setting off another blast, propelling himself towards Kevin. With a stomp a curved wall appeared in front of Kevin, so Bakugo changed his course. He shot to the right and propelled himself left, before shooting behind himself yet again.

When his landed, he turned his feet and appeared right behind of Kevin. A sphere of light appeared between his hands, and blew up just in time for Kevin to look around. With a loud 'fuck' the wall in front of them fell, and Kevin began rubbing at his eyes furiously. Bakugo has used his 'stun grenade' move.

Bakugo aimed and shot another blast, but Kevin dodged by having a hole in the ground form and swallow himself up. He growled and stomped the ground.

"Coward! Get back up here and fight me!"

Three holes in the ground opened, allowing three clones to jump through. Bakugo rushed the first one, whose hands were glowing with fire and blew him up. Out of the corner of his eye he saw movement, and side stepped out of the way of another clone that had his arms raised over his head. The second landed and smashed into the ground, creating a shockwave. Bakugo aimed and fired, blowing the clone up.

Before he could face the third, 15 more holes opened up, allowing more clones to pop up. One stepped forward and faced the explosive teen.

"You having fun beating my clones?"

"Are you the real dipshit? Or just another shitty clone?" Bakugo growled. Kevin just smirked, and produced a flame in the pam of his hand.

"Come and find out."

With a roar they rushed each other, charging down the middle of the field with their arms raised. They jumped and aimed for on another. Everything appeared in slow motion for those watching. Bakugo aimed for the chest while Kevin's hand missed his way and slide next to his ear, not burning him and making him feel the heat. Bakugo say his smirk and fired, and yet again the Kevin blew up in a puff of smoke. He had been tricked fucking again!

A hole opened right behind him, and the true Kevin jumped through, that same stupid and annoying (some of Bakugo's many thoughts) smirk appearing on his face, a blue ball of twisting energy danced in the palm of his right hand.

Kevin's hand shot forward and the ball made contact with Bakugo's back. The ball cut through his clothing and grinded in his back, a loud hissing sound escaped Bakugo's lips at the pain. Bakugo was launched forward at an incredible speed, twirling and spinning through the air. He would've went out of the arena, had two clones had stopped him by putting up a wall.

He smashed into it, knocking the wind of him before falling and hitting the concrete below. He gasped for air, one hand clutching at his chest while the other clutched his back. He saw movement again and watched as Kevin (or a clone) stood above of him, grinning down at him.

"Well, you wanted a fight. Did that suffice?"

With a growl Bakugo latched onto his ankle and sat off an explosion, causing the clone to poof into a cloud of smoke. He roared before standing up, showcasing the back of his torn clothing and bloodied back. Kevin was standing out in the open, also breathing heavily with his legs shaking. All the clones poofed into nothingness.

Seeing his opponent in a weakened state, Bakugo launched himself into the air and shot himself towards, spinning himself in a tornado like fashion.

"Howitzer!"

He got closer and closer to Kevin, who couldn't move from his spot. With a sneer Bakugo's hand, which had a small of orange energy in it, made contact with Kevin's face.

"Impact!"

A giant explosion fight filled the arena and the whole building itself. Black smoke, accompanied by flashes of orange, red, and white filled the sky as the heat from the attack hit everyone in attendance. Present Mic could be heard screaming, comparing the attack to a rocket.

Bakugo landed on his feet, a crazed grin etching itself on his face as he watched the lights and smoke. After a few seconds it died down, showing a burnt, but still standing Kevin. His head was lowered, cutting his face off from everyone's view.

There were a few cracking sounds, and soon something fell from Kevin's face and broke once it reached the ground. Instead of falling down, Kevin began to laugh. It began as joyfully before it grew maniacally. He turned around and lifted his head, showing everyone, even a shocked Bakugo, his face.

Most of his face was completely cracked, everything from his chin, to his nose, to his left eye. Only his right eye was untouched. The cracks worsened and pieces started falling off. Soon it wasn't only his face. Pieces began cracking and falling off of his arms and legs and fell to the ground, the colored pieces turning to white concrete upon impact. Other than the cracking sounds, his laughter was the only thing heard in the building.

"What…what the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!"

"A little technique I got from a buddy of mine. He could control sand and used it as a type of armor." Kevin informed, peeling off some stone from his arms. "I've had this stuff on since the first time I went underground. It slows me down and takes away a lot of my energy, that's why I couldn't move out of the way during your 'howitzer impact'."

He smiled again and stared Bakugo down, his eyes turning red for a split second.

"Gloves are off now kitty. Let's finish this quickly, shall we?"

There was rumbling under his feet again. Before Bakugo could move, a foot popped out and kicked his chin, sending him flying in the sky. Two clones came through the ground and created pillars under their feet, making them rise high to Bakugo's level. The back of one's fist hit Bakugo in the face, and the other punched him in the stomach.

They poofed into clouds the smoke, and the real Kevin came flying through. He twisted his body and kicked Bakugo in the stomach, making his impact with the ground all the more painful. A gurgled gasp of pain left Bakugo's lips, before his body became limp.

Kevin stood over him, staring down at the battered and bloodied teen. Shaking his head, he turned to walk away, but a weak grip on his ankle stopped him. Looking down, Bakugo had moved onto his stomach and reached out to try and grab him.

"It's over, you lost. Just pass out some you can get to Recovery Girl." Kevin ordered, lifting his leg and getting out of Bakugo's grasp.

"Fuck…you…" Bakugo huffed, slowly trying to push himself back up.

With a sigh Kevin grabbed his wrist and began dragging him to the stages boundary. Bakugo struggled and tried getting out of Kevin's grasp, but he was far too weak.

Without any effort, Kevin gently threw Bakugo's top half out of the boundary. His eyes met Bakugo's, which were filled with hate and anger he had seen many times over the course of his life.

"I. Win."

And then, the crowd's cheers filled the building.
