"Execution of the plan"
.

"The plan is very dangerous, Midoriya." Todoroki frowned in dismay.
"I know it's very risky and quite crazy, but" Midoriya said with great determination. "I assure you it will work"
Todoroki sighed in anguish, knowing that he would accept to carry out that plan without hesitation, even if he had his doubts rooted in his thoughts.
Everything could fail, or there was a possibility of error and Midoriya could be seriously injured, or perhaps he would go out with his fist raised and victory surrounding him.
Everything could happen, that is why, the plan had to be executed as is.
"Todoroki-kun, are you with me or not?" Midoriya put a hand on his shoulder, staring at him.
He nodded, taking a smile for an answer.
Leaving the room where they attended Midoriya's mother, they were attacked with questions Iida and Uraraka with a sharp look, eager for answers.
Midoriya changed his saddened countenance to one of firmness, of a leader.
Once they finished telling them what was coming for the future hero, their friends looked at each other with content, reflecting in their eyes a fear of the unknown, fear of what will happen to Midoriya from now on, from any moment that would mean the future.
"What are you going to do, Deku?" Uraraka asked in distress.
"It's a risky challenge, Midoriya" Iida said, waving her arms straight. "You shouldn't fight alone."
"I have a plan" he revealed with a raised eyebrow. His friends fell silent waiting for him to continue, which was the case. He told them his plan, but for Todoroki, it was a different plan, that is, he had another strategy: Midoriya had omitted that risky move.
He put a hand on Midoriya's shoulder, who looked at him from the corner of his eye with complicity, indicating with his eyes that the other plan was only made for them both. In short, a plan that only the two should know and no one else.
Todoroki admitted feeling taken into account, hopeful, but the internal accelerator of his body stopped him. Something stopped him from doing what his instincts asked him to do, and his mind demanded another answer, another way of solving things.
Uraraka and Iida exchanged glances, agreeing with the plan right away, they both ran to communicate the plan to the others, while they both went to tell the teachers.
In a matter of twenty minutes, everyone was gathered at the entrance of the bedrooms, grouping according to the plan that the young hero had made and that even the teachers agreed to execute, because they thought it would be the most reasonable thing to do.
Todoroki was still distraught, with palpitations putting pressure on his chest as if they had him shackled and shackled in a room without lighting. The feeling was terribly unpleasant.
Why did nobody realize the consequences of the plan? Of what the other side of the coin implied.
Without being able to bear it more, he went to approach Midoriya with the intention of making him change his mind, or even to leave the plan intact, only to omit the latter.
When he had to approach him, he saw that Bakugou had won him the opportunity and was chatting with Midoriya in the halls, both with some distance in between, especially by Midoriya, who maintained the greatest distance between them.
"I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, Deku," Bakugou began with regret in his voice. "But please forgive me for my behavior yesterday, it was not the best way to deal with things and get carried away by my feelings." He stepped forward, but that only caused Midoriya to step back. Bakugou stopped, twitching his hands.
"Kacchan, I don't hold a grudge against you" Midoriya confessed softly. "I would never do it"
"Deku…" the explosive boy exhaled, wrinkling his eyebrows in distress.
"I don't hate you, Kacchan." He muttered in pain, lacing his fingers together with his hands clasped on his chest.
"Listen" He demanded, after biting his lower lip. "I'll do my best to fix things, Deku, because I don't want to get away from you, and I'm not going to leave you with the half and half bastard" His hands made a nervous contraction and that encouraged him to get a little closer to him, who He flexed fearfully. "I will be with you, I won't separate from you."
Midoriya looked up, abyssed.
"I also want to say." He gave a sharp exhale.
"Kacchan," Midoriya burst a little awkwardly. "I…I didn't think you would hate me so much."
"I don't hate you!" He exclaimed flatly, exalting Midoriya, who panicked. "I, I acted as I acted because I was jealous, not because I hated you"
"W-what?" He blinked a few seconds, without processing it.
"I was jealous, Deku" He clarified, shaking his head dismissively. "For that damn half and half and his stupid actions that disgust me, just seeing his horrible face as a perfect child makes me mad!" He shook his hands with courage. "You don't know how much I hate him!"
"I see…" Midoriya looked down, sad.
Todoroki saw Bakugou panic when he saw him that way.
"But I don't hate you, Deku" He dared to take his right hand from a blink, petrifying Midoriya, who opened his eyes in surprise. "I ... I want to be with you" Did he say it with plea? Todoroki was speechless. "Maybe I don't deserve to be with you, but I still want to try, let me try" he asked regretfully, holding his hand gently in his.
That was the moment when Midoriya would make his decision, because he was not intimidated because it was "Kacchan", but the person who broke his heart. Todoroki witnessed the terrible suffering and insufferable anguish suffered by the cute and tender Midoriya last night.
"K-Kacchan, I-I don't know" he spoke doubtfully.
"What?" His voice broke. Maybe that answer Bakugou wasn't expecting, Todoroki supposed, hidden between the wall they were discussing.
"I didn't know that my existence was a misfortune for you" He let go, becoming serious.
"What? No" He objected, linking Midoriya's hand between his. "What are you saying?"
"I mean, even though you broke my heart" He continued the same way. "I can't hate you, because I still love you, Kacchan…you're everything to me."
"I ..." Bakugou cut himself. "For me too!" He held onto Midoriya's hand, looking at it as if it were a sacred relic.
"But" He broke, sighing slowly.
"But?" He repeated uncertainly, sliding one of his hands over Midoriya's shoulder.
"My spirit is still intact" He declared.
"What do you mean by that?" He said dumbfounded. "Deku?" The appointed one, escaped his contact, putting a hand on his forehead.
"Forgive me, Kacchan." He looked at him with accumulated sadness. "Forgive me for existing"
Todoroki opened his eyes petrified by what he had just heard, remembering the last phase of the plan in horror. So, what Midoriya said was serious, he said with regret.
"Deku?" He approached him unable to understand. "What does that mean?" He shook his shoulders, but Midoriya refused to tell him more. "Don't evade me!" He begged desperately.
That made Midoriya stop and watch him contain himself, because it was visible to see that he endured the terrible desire to break into tears.
It was obvious that he was scared, but he wouldn't reveal it to Bakugou.
"Goodbye, Kacchan." He turned and left his proximity.
Todoroki couldn't do more, but to lament what was in store for everyone the plan went wrong.
Everything depended on him.
Seconds before leaving, he noticed that Midoriya was inhaling to calm down, he can't contain the desire to accompany him in the process.
"Midoriya" He spoke, guarding every gesture of anguish on his stoic face.
He saw him nod.
"Are you sure of the other?" He referred to the final part of the plan.
"Of course" He said seriously. "I am willing to sacrifice myself for all of you."
It's not necessary, you have a long life ahead, he wanted to tell him, but he stopped doing it, because he could not face Midoriya when it was a decision, because he was irrevocably determined to give everything for everybody.
"Aren't you afraid?" He dared to ask.
The boy's features became depressive.
"Yes" He confessed under his breath. "I'm very afraid" He trembled, holding on to himself. "But, I'll go with everything I have "
"Midori"
"If I don't do it, I won't know if it was worth it" He refuted, pushing aside the trembling of his body. "I won't know what value I have as a hero, that's why I should try"
Todoroki without further ado, had to agree with him on the back of his sorrows.
He had heard him say goodbye to Bakugou and now I heard him say that he will go with everything he has.
How much misery will invade him if his heart betrays him?
He simply wouldn't stand it.
The groups of students of group 1A left according to the plan of the boy with the green hair. The teachers would be in charge of protecting the city, since according to what the viscous body villain confessed to Midoriya, he would attack the city at noon if he did not show up for the confrontation.
And how would it attack the city? Well, he would let his followers eat the citizens' bodies from the sewers, causing chaos in the population.
Midoriya had to appear before noon in sector B, that is, on the outskirts of the city, spending about fifteen minutes of the last announcement that was with the city, in a desert area of dry and sparse vegetation, where the land It was flat and less likely for him to sneak away or hide.
The group he belonged to was the one that Bakugou, Uraraka, Iida, Kirishima, Kaminari and Midoriya were. The strongest in the room.
They would protect Midoriya from confrontation and fight at his side, in case the villain did not keep his own words.
"Are you all ready?" Midoriya asked them before leaving school. Everyone nodded. "Then lets go"
The more the vehicle that led them to the agreed zone was advancing, Todoroki's anguish increased, his body stung, his hands throbbed and his chest burned.
He prepared himself mentally for the confrontation, inhaled deeply, resting his head on the back of the seat.
He expanded his chest and reduced it, expanded it again and reduced it, the cycle was repeated in time and form.
He had to visualize himself, his friends, especially Midoriya in action, entrusting him with the rest when he was gone.
Midoriya fully trusted him, that was why he could not, for any reason, get away from his word.
He saw him on the outward journey, noting that his eyes were fixed on his hands that rubbed each other, inhabited a worry lagging in his eyes, and realized that no one realized that he was preparing for the tragedy.
When getting out of the vehicle, Midoriya approached them a few seconds before leaving, telling them with the best face he could put on them.
"What's going on, Midoriya?" Iida questioned, drawn by the sudden change in him.
"Guys, I want to thank you for joining me on this risky mission," he said eloquently, his fingers wavering between them.
"You don't have to tell us," Uraraka dissuaded incredulously. "We are your friends"
"I appreciate all of you," Midoriya interrupted, struggling to speak. "It has never been enough for me to tell you how much your friendship means to me, and I believe that I will not tell you again on an upcoming occasion." "I love you so much, and I will always carry you in my heart."
Words difficult to say, to express, to mention as clearly as possible, which he achieved with great eloquence, as he knew from the sports festival where he demonstrated his great determination and intellectual ability to say everything he wanted to say to each person in front of me.
"Whatever happens," he continued. "You will be great heroes."
Instead of understanding the message between the lines, everyone applauded him, except Bakugou, who was the only one who was impassive with that speech; probably, he understood a piece of the message between the lines, or not.
For Todoroki it was hearing a testament in flesh and blood.
The terrain was as he supposed it: flat and without joke.
The viscous-bodied villain appeared beneath the earth, causing a resounding tremor all over the floor, at that, he saw Midoriya swallow hard, putting himself in a fighting position with his gleaming green suit and his heavenly dancing curls reacted the movement of the Earth.
"Ha!" Shouted Bakugou on.
"What kind of beast is this?" Kirishima said turning around.
"Keep calm" Midoriya said, anchoring his firm legs more toward the ground.
Don't stop, he told himself, don't be a burden to Midoriya.
A viscous dirt-colored body emerged from the ground, throwing some pieces and contents of soil scattering around its body. His limbs were not distinguished, as it was round, with abysmal portions and dark green eyes, accompanied by flabby arms, an indistinguishable trunk, and a huge black mouth, were a scattering thing.
Don't be a burden! Don't be a burden! He was repeated loudly.
"Ah, young Midoriya" The villain laughed in unquestionable voracity, causing the earth to move in a sway. "Yes, you keep your word."
"H-here you have me" He heard him say, swallowing again, wielding his left hand with difficulty.
He was afraid, it was very clear, that the poor Midoriya was trembling with fear, but he didn't give his arm to twist for anything in the world.
"I didn't ask you to bring company" He grumbled, putting a down hand on the ground. "If that's the case, I also brought company!" He roared maliciously, knocking with his big hand in the direction of Midoriya, who activated his Quirk, jumped, dodging the blow.
That was the indication that the training began.
About four equally viscous bodies, emerged from the earth with aberrant voices, letting out wild screams, were en route to attack them all, except Midoriya.
Bakugou and his two friends took care of the viscous bodies.
"Die!" He shouted on, calcining the first one who faced with both hands pointed at the indecorous head of the body.
"Attack me, Midoriya." He was challenged by the villain who rushed wildly against the aforementioned, and with agility, put a blow to Midoriya's head, smashing it into the ground, causing a sinking.
"It's that all you have!" Midoriya challenged him, unscathed by the blow, because he used his right fist, bumping into the villain's, causing friction between the two bodies.
"You have so little strength" He scoffed, subjecting him to a greater force, but that he refused to be defeated. "Useless successor"
Upon hearing "useless successor" an incredible force appeared in the spirit of Midoriya, who applied a huge force that blew the villain to the other side.
"I am not a useless successor!" He refused yelling at him.
Uraraka and Iida, took care of the other two viscous bodies, while Bakugou and his friends ended up with them right away.
What was left now?
What did Todoroki have to do?
What was next?
"Hey, you bastard!" Bakugou yelled angrily. "Why didn't you do anything?"
He ignore him
What was left now?
"A blow from a useless successor" the villain joked in triumph.
"Guys!" Midoriya appeared in front of them. "Please, go back" He ordered calmly.
"What if we don't want to?" Bakugou challenged. "I won't leave you here alone"
"Do you ignore me, Midoriya?" The villain approached quickly.
"Please" Midoriya pleaded, and then turned and activated his Quirk, launched himself toward the villain, taking an incredible leap over him, taking his fist and pulling him toward the opposite weight. He loaded it and turned it around in one move.
"Stupid Deku!" Bakugou complained.
"We have to help him" Uraraka helped.
"Letting Midoriya deal with this alone is cowardly," Iida concluded. "I think we intervene and help him as he should"
"I say the same," Kirishima said decidedly. "Midoriya is one of ours"
"We won't leave him alone," Kaminari chanted, with a fist.
"No!" Todoroki burst.
"Now you are going to talk, useless?" Bakugou inquired. "You were standing like a puppet watching us fight," he claimed burned.
Midoriya used his shoot style, pushing the villain by inertia backwards, from which, this same one, returned and landed a blow on the left cheek of Midoriya, who shot out to the ground, rising again and attacking in full adrenaline.
"I can't explain it" He admitted snubbed.
"Is there anything you don't want to tell us?" Uraraka said interested. At Todoroki's silence, he saw his gestures of accomplishment, which soon became distressed. "What did you not tell us?" Uraraka whined.
Bakugou was more violent in his approach and rubbed a punch on Todoroki's cheek, and took it from his lapels with a murderous look directed at him.
"If you have something to say" He threatened. "You better say it now before I burn you, damn fool!"
"Bakugou!" His two friends intervened, but Bakugou's anger was greater, and therefore his strength far exceeded that of his friends.
"Such a fool!" He insulted, tightening the grip of his lapels. "If something happens to Deku, I'll kill you!"
A roar was heard and the bodies of Midoriya and the villain collided, causing a flash of lightning followed by a loud shaking of the earth, which began to vibrate and the earth to rise.
Frightened everyone, even Bakugou, released Todoroki so as not to lose his balance.
"I'm not done with you yet!" Bakugou pointed out.
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you" He murmured, creating an ice barrier that gave him time to separate a few meters from them, running off in the direction of Midoriya using his sky to slide across the ground, heading for Midoriya.
That was his signal.
"Don't stop for me, Todoroki-kun, everything will be fine." It was the words that were repeated in his run.
The clash of forces continued, because they were involved in an exchange of massive blows, with the villain hitting the baton, but Midoriya did not give up, kept moving forward, continued to persist despite the adversities, despite the villain's huge beastly size, even though his heart was broken.
Suddenly, the villain managed to intercept a blow to Midoriya's face by throwing him back, but kept his feet prostrate on the ground, sliding friction to a stop; he landed on the ground with his legs apart, feet well planted on the ground. The force of the impact ceased to exist.
"You proved to be more than a useless successor," the villain applauded in sarcasm. "But you're not enough to defeat me."
An explosion arose, meaning that Bakugou was the one who destroyed the barrier, and went out to rapid fire through the air, propelling himself at full speed, followed by the rest who did not flinch in being left behind.
"You'll never be like All Might." He hit the ground, colliding the earth. Todoroki looked back and Iida fell face down to the ground and Kaminari picked him up. Uraraka ran alongside Kirishima, and Bakugou was the head of the rest.
"Midoriya!" Todoroki shouted from his lungs. The aforementioned turned to see him, returning his dress to the villain who demanded not to be ignored.
"Todoroki-kun" Midoriya spoke loudly, extending an arm. "You arrived just in time." He smiled resembling All Might. "Don't worry about the rest, because I'm here."
He shuddered when he heard those words that the hero's apprentice showed with great eloquence. He arrived to meet him, standing behind the arm that separated him from the villain.
"I told you it would be just the two of us!" The villain demanded, directing an attack on Todoroki, but Midoriya was faster and protected him, taking him with one arm and jumping, he evaded the thunderous attack.
"Todoroki" He realized that he omitted the honorific (perhaps it was because of the limited time available) "Whatever happens, do not feel responsible for what happens to me"
"Midoriya" He wanted to say, but was stopped by another attack, which he quickly evaded, returning the blow with his incredible Shoot style. "Don't say that"
He gave him a scorching smile for the soul, being so gentle.
"Don't worry" He said determinedly. "I'll protect everyone."
The rest reached their position, exalting Midoriya who was not happy to see them arrive.
"What are you doing here?" He exclaimed, leaving Todoroki on the ground, and then continuing the confrontation. "Get away!"
"We won't leave you, Midoriya," Iida proclaimed.
It can't be, Todoroki thought in misfortune, they will intervene with the plan.
"Don't do anything!" Midoriya warned worried. "Nothing!"
"Oi! Don't ignore me" The villain took Midoriya by the leg and stamped him on the floor, cutting his crotch.
They saw him writhe in pain, and as expected, Bakugou intervened along with his friends, freeing Midoriya from the villain's grip.
"You are a great idiot for wanting to be the hero!" Scolded him, his now, ex boyfriend.
"No, Kacchan!" He protested in anguish.
"Don't challenge me!" He warned offended.
Midoriya stood up, breaking through at a speed almost imperceptible to the eye, clearly ignoring them all.
"Todoroki! Now!" he ordered, dodging the immense amount of blows directed at him.
"Oi! Deku!" Bakugou went after him, followed by his friends.
"Don't interfere!" Todoroki scolded him
"I do whatever I want, half and half bastard!" He complained growling.
Todoroki anchored to the ground, prepared for the worst.
Midoriya jumped into the villain's mouth, being instantly swallowed by him. When he heard that part of the plan, he was dumbfounded, but now that he saw it properly, he realized that it was indeed a risky, but viable plan, at least with how small Midoriya's body was.
Everyone shouted in concern for him, but he knew they would only have little time to save him.
"Once inside his intestinal tract, I will have ten minutes to get out of there, due to the acid it secretes, if we go away from time, my body will rot and ..." He remembered how his face changed to one of suffering fear. "I will die"
He won't die ... no, he won't die.
The ice spread with exterminating frenzy, immediately freezing the villain from the ground until he interfered to the trunk.
You will not die.
You must not die.
The rest began to intervene, causing him to waste time, so he desperately begged them not to do anything, but nobody listened.
You will not die! He screamed his mind in panic.
You must not die, Midoriya.
"Stop!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, watching his ice melt with Bakugou's explosions, Kaminari's lightning, Iida's kicks, etc.
No one listened to it and time was running out.
Midoriya would die soon if they didn't stop.
"Don't order us, you bastard!"
It was the last straw that that idiot told him what he should do, it was the last straw to know that he was responsible for Midoriya breaking his heart into pieces.
"Do you want him to die?" He encouraged himself to shout at him.
"What do you say?" Openmouthed, he stopped his attacks on the villain who laughed at having Midoriya inside him.
"Stop attacking him, Bakugou" He ordered looking at him desperately, bitterly. The two rivals looked into each other's eyes, and it seemed that Bakugou understood what he was trying to explain and stepped back. He backed away, and perhaps for the first time, obeyed an order.
Todoroki seeing that the rest left him free passage, froze the entire lower part of the villain, who was writhing in pain, unable to attack him because the cold was a punishment for them, a reverent torture.
Don't die, please don't die!
Colder emerged from his arm, from his feet, from his whole being.
Who knows how long it has been since Midoriya stopped seeing him, but he did his best to save him on his shoulders.
In that, a radiant green light emerged from inside the villain, which finished moving when the light increased in size, intensity, and expanded to destroy it completely.
The light was so immense that it blinded anyone who contemplated it; it was a light so beautiful and so beautiful that it clarified the senses leaving them stunned.
When the light faded, he saw that splendid figure standing, located in the area where the light emerged. Midoriya stood, turning his back on that majestic figure, with his curls floating in the direction of the wind.
Silence.
Midoriya turned to see them, giving them a smile.
Todoroki was horrified to see that smile. That smile didn't denote a security in his person.
It was the warmest smile he had made since he met him. He smiled at them with great warmth. Everything in that face of tenderness shone similar to the sun's rays.
"Deku…"
"Midoriya! "
The excited voices of others were thunderous, they were noise to their deaf ears.
Suddenly, Midoriya's body swung forward, also erasing his smile from his face, his right leg moved slightly forward, allowing the rest of his body to slowly fall until it crashed sharply against the ground, inert.
Todoroki stood still, watching the others run to him, especially Bakugou.
"Deku!" He left his mouth. "Deku!" He noted that Bakugou shook him without receiving an answer from him, there was nothing. Not an answer, not a word. Nothing. "Deku, open your eyes!" He despaired, as expected. "Deku, please open your eyes!" Now he begged, he was screaming for an answer from him, but he wouldn't get it. Todoroki knew he wouldn't get it.
Todoroki took a few steps forward, expressionless of the face, expressionless of any emotion.
"Deku, open your eyes!" Bakugou took him in his arms, holding him firmly, still shaking him. "Don't leave me! Please don't you dare leave me" Uraraka and Iida were stunned, without saying a word; their faces of denial of what they saw were obvious "Deku... Deku, please!" Bakugou clung to his body, tightening his grip. "You can't do this to me!" His voice was hoarse, Kirishima and Kaminari, they looked at him in amazement. It seemed they didn't recognize their friend. "Don't leave me alone, Deku, no please, no" What appeared in his eyes were...tears? Real tears? "Deku, please, please don't ..." He pressed him against his chest, resting his head on his curls. "I love you, you hear me, I love you!" He confessed, followed by a sob that struggled not to let go, but ultimately escaped his voice. "I love you, don't leave me alone, Deku, I love you." He stroked his curls delicately, for he didn't look with intentions to hurt him anymore, he hid his face on Midoriya's neck, letting out a heartbreaking sob. "Please, Deku, open your eyes, say something!"
Todoroki looked around, unable to continue seeing that tragic scene in front of his eyes, which closed them tightly. That silence in Todoroki's mind was immense, it was a heartbreaking and gloomy silence to deal with. He clenched his eyes as much as he could, with a truth grounded in his mind:
Midoriya was no longer with them.
