Bakugo and AllMight stood facing the entire class of 1-A students, Mr. Aizawa and Eri.
Fortunately, Eri was okay. She was brought back to Togata after Mr. Aizawa took her to take care of something. He decided not to tell her what actually happened. She didn't need all of that on her shoulders right now. There were more important things going on.
They all sat in the Lounge Area and were glad to have seats for this meeting. It was still partially destroyed, but all the debris and rubble was pushed into a big pile in the corner.
Bakugo had gotten everyone to join the meeting by yelling, as usual. AllMight decided to let it slide. He needed to let off some steam.
AllMight told them everything. About One for All. It's connection to All for One. The history behind both of them. Meeting Midoriya. His decision to give his quirk to him, and Midoriya's fate to defeat All for One.
Everyone sat there silently, taking everything in. Bakugo was silent the entire time as he stood by AllMight's side. Eri didn't seem to quite understand, but that was okay. She was only there because Mr. Aizawa didn't want to keep his eyes off of her after what happened.
Some students seemed more distraught than others, even Mr. Aizawa was taken aback by this huge secret.
"Wow," Momo Yaoyorozu said, being the first to speak up, "That's... that's a lot." She was so flustered, she could barely speak.
"So... Deku was born quirkless?" Uraraka asked just to be sure.
"Yes," AllMight told her, "He asked me if it was possible for him to become a hero even if he didn't have a quirk. I'm ashamed to say I told him no at first."
Shame took a hold of him as his deep wound ached. But he reminded himself of Young Midoriya inspiring him to be a better hero. He wouldn't be where he is now if it weren't for him.
"Wait, you knew this whole time?!" Iida cried at Bakugo, unsure how to feel about all of this.
"No. He found out recently," AllMight answered for him, "This has been a secret for several generations. Don't blame him for keeping this a secret."
Bakugo could only look at the floor as he explained. Regret was still looming over him for stopping Deku from telling the truth. He might not have been taken if he just let him tell everyone.
"Deku...," Bakugo intervened, unable to look anyone in the eyes, "He was going to tell you guys yesterday, but I... stopped him. If I hadn't, maybe he wouldn't have been..."
All of the students have never seen Bakugo so hard on himself. Some of them actually felt really bad for him for once. He wasn't alone though.
"We all blame ourselves, Bakugo," Uraraka told him with pitiful eyes.
"You don't need to shoulder all of this on your own," Kirishima said in a concerned tone.
Why aren't you guys yelling at me?! You should be upset!
Gritting his teeth, Bakugo forced himself to face them, and they all looked accepting. Accepting of what happened and finding out the truth behind All for One's escape. Now, they wanted to save Deku.
"Quirkless or not, Midoriya has always been there for us," Iida told everyone, including Bakugo, "When my brother got paralyzed, he was there to push me in the right direction. I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for him."
Tears began to well up under his blue eyes as he tried to hold them back.
"Honestly," Todoroki joined in, "He opened my eyes to some things in my life as well."
"I can't imagine my life without him. He inspired me to be a better hero," Uraraka said along side him, blush forming around her rosy cheeks.
"He helped save little Eri," Kirishima reminded everyone while giving her a big smile, "He protected her and wasn't even thinking about himself. He's manlier than all of us!"
"Midoriya helped us, now we're going to help him!" Yaoyorozu said to raise everyone's spirits.
"Yeah!" Class 1-A cried in unison.
Normally Bakugo would be annoyed with their positive attitude, but their cheer made him feel somewhat better. Hearing all of the things Deku has done and inspired, made him feel somewhere deep down, a bit frustrated with his past self.
Clenching his fist tightly with a smirky grin on his face, he knew what he had to do.
...I still hurt Deku...
"Let's go save him."
...for several years...
The whole class turned to face Bakugo. Realizing what he said, they looked at him with so much determination. It felt right.
Unfortunately, everyone in the room let their guard down. No one had time to react as rubble and debris exploded all around them. A huge dust of cloud rose in the air, causing everyone to cough profusely. It was almost impossible to see anything or find anyone.
"Is everyone okay?" Mr. Aizawa's voice cried out.
Eri was gripping onto his hand very tightly, squeezing her eyes shut.
"Yeah," A lot of people responded, unable to tell who was who.
The dust in the air settled and all of the students were scattered along with AllMight. Mr. Aizawa held onto Eri so she wouldn't go wandering off.
"What's going on?!" Bakugo cried as he looked around their Lounge Area. It was completely destroyed, much worse than last time.
In the back of his mind, Bakugo was at least glad that this wasn't his fault.
"Long time no see, AllMight."
Everyone followed the voice and saw a dark figure floating in the sky. As the dust in the air dissipated, everybody froze in place. All eyes were full of fear, realizing the Devil himself appeared out of no where. His god like presence was stronger than ever before. Everything about him looked better, younger. No one wanted to believe what they were seeing.
Fear had all of the students and teachers shaking at the sight of an unconscious and damaged Midoriya in the hands of All for One himself. He held him with one hand outstretched, treating him like trash.
Bakugo's entire body shook uncontrollably at his sudden appearance with Deku dangling like a rag doll. All he could hear was his own heart beat, but then All for One's voice echoed through the destruction of Class 1-A's dormitory.
"One for All... is finally mine."
This chapter ends on a huge cliffhanger! It's probably hard to picture Bakugo acting like this, but I wanted to explore what he might be like if he were to understand his wrong doings. This story will possibly be around 10-12 Chapters. More coming soon!
