"That true, if you guys wanna talk more do in at the dorms." Itsuka followed up and was beginning to walk away towards the locker room.

"Hey, Asshole." Was voice that seemed to ring out throughout the gym

'Oh no.' Izuku turned to where the voice came from.

"Huh!?" Bakugou turned to the voice that came from behind him. "Who said tha-YOU" He glared at the offender.

"You wanted a fight didn't you, well how about it. Me and you. In the ring. Right. Now." The person in front of Bakugou didn't back down.

"Hey class is ov-" Tenya began.

"Shut it four eyes, this dipshit wants to fight, I'll give em one."

"We probably shouldn't do this since the teachers just left." Izuku text seem to fall on deaf eyes. As the two stared at each other and the rest of the class glanced around nervously.

"Its not too late to back out you know you sure you wanna go through with this?" Bakugou sneered

With absolute rage burning in her eyes Izuku gulped as Ochaco responded.

"Absolutely."

"Absolutely."

Izuku watched nervously as the two stared each other down and both keeping an eye on each other walked to the closes circle on the ground. The rest of the students cautiously gathered around although keeping a good distance.

"Guys we should really stop them." Izuku urged.

"You do it then." Kaminari said shakily.

"I mean…I do kind of want to see Ochaco kick Bakugou's ass." Shrugged Jiro.

"You two stop right this instant! This goes against our code as-" Tenya did attempt to stop the fight but a hand on his should stopped him. Izuku turned to see who interrupted him. It was Kirishima who had a solemn look on his face.

"Look man I know how you feel but…maybe we should just let them hash it out, let them face the consequences. Also, wouldn't it be better with all of us here to stop them if it gets out of hand rather then them doing this privately?" Kirishima asked.

"When did you ever have a good Brian?" Mina questioned making several other giggled at the admonished boy.

"Enough chatter from you extras, as for you Roundface…it's your funeral" Bakugou sneered turning back to face his opponent.

"My name is Ochaco…asshole." She growled back.

Izuku shivered at the murderous glare they were giving each other. Nothing good was going to come of this. Nothing.

"What was that!?" Bakugou shouted grating his teeth as his demeanor darkened at the insult.

"Did you not hear me or has setting off all those wimpy explosions damaged you petite eardrums" Ochaco snarled. Some of the other students gawked at the banter.

"Has that girl always had such a snappy attitude?" Reiko asked Toru. Who stuttered out a no.

'This is getting out of hand I should probably stop them now.' Izuku was taking a step forward when he heard the bang of Bakugou quirk launch him forward.

"Die bitch!" And charged towards the gravity user aiming to knock her head off her shoulders and she twisted her body and grabbed ahold of his arm to swing him around and throw him back where he came from. He made a small explosion to right himself mid-air before landing in a crouched position sliding a few feet.

"Tsk." Bakugou growled furiously as Ochaco said nothing and charged at him without hesitation.

Bakugou swiped his hand across the dirt below him setting off multiple tiny explosions shifting the dirt into a smoke cloud. As Ochaco slowed at the sudden loss of her target Izuku watched as Bakugou jumped in the air and aim his hand down towards the brunette. He planned was foiled though as before he could get a shot off the girl used her quirk on herself and launched herself up past him. His shot beamed past her and before he could right himself, Ochaco was just above him released her quirk with a spin of her body and axed kicked him back to the earth.

She landed expertly and the dust from the beam separated around her slowly spreading away while Bakugo landed with a hard thud and coughed slightly upon impact.

"Gack, heh so little round face got some new moves. That ain't gonna help ya once I kill ya." Bakugou got up and wipe the saliva from his lips with his forearms and a devilish smirk.

"Wouldn't be the first time you tried to kill someone would it." Ochaco spat at him her eyes never leaving him.

Everyone looked on nervously and confused after all Bakugou practically screamed die at his own food. Izuku however knew what she actually was talking about, and he really didn't want her to say anymore.

'That's it I have to stop this.' Izuku took a step forward once again only for Jiro to bend down and pick him up.

"Wh-what is with Ochaco…" Izuku knew she was talking to herself and not him, he was wishing for this to end soon and where were the teachers at!?

"Haaaah?! You just now getting angry over my personality? You been living under a damn rock you dumb broad?" Bakugou didn't let her respond as he held his hand up and shot off his quirk in short burst as Ochaco ran around in a circle to avoid being hit. The last one however did hit its target and it launched her backwards. Everyone thought it was finally over and let out a breath of relief.

Unfortunately for them Ochaco only skidded to a stop with her clothes and skin singed form the blast.

"Who'd ever lose to a shitty quirk like yours Bakugou!" She charged him again her calling his quirk shitty must have pissed him off like none other since he normally would never be baited like such. He fell for her feint, and she slapped him across the face and activated her quirk as he was weightless and spun around a hundred and eighty degrees. She grabbed his legs and released her quirk and jumped in the air to slam him headfirst into the ground before rolling backwards and stopping in a crouched formation.

For second everyone thought it was over again, Ochaco had actually beaten Bakugou and knocked him out. Izuku knew the boy better than anyone though, all that did was one fire him up more and two pissed him off even more.

"You….BITCH!" Bakugo rolled out of his small hole and stood up shakingly. The students stared in awesome at the fight...no...this brawl. Ochaco was actually managing to damage the highly combative explosive user. Some starting cheering on the girl. Izuku whined because he knew this wasn't just a small chip on her shoulder. It was like an entire city block.

"Is that all you're good at you loser!? Calling people names! How come you never bother to learn anyone's name huh you think your too good for that!?" Ochaco shouted at the blond.

"Why should I learn the name of all you extras huh!?" Bakugou threw his arm widely at the rest of the class. "ME! I'm going to be the next number one who cares about the rest of you!" Bakugou shouted back.

The rest of the students even in class A took that personally and all glared at the blonde boy.

"Wow…I thought he was at least getting better…." Jiro spoke somewhat angrily.

"Seriously…"He heard Mina next to him whispering.

'Kacchan….' Izuku was nervous this was going to prove a difficult time for his friend if he kept this up, and also Ochaco was probably not coming out of this without at least one scar.

"NO, you will NEVER! You hear me NEVER BECOME THE NUMBER ONE!" Ochaco balled her fist while screaming at him.

"Who the fuck is gonna stop me? YOU!? HA!" Bakugou let out small, crazed laugh.

"No." Ochaco head lowered slightly.

"Pfft. The-"

"Deku will." As if she said the one thing, she shouldn't have Bakugou's palms started going off like mini fireworks while twitching along with is eye.

"You think that shitty little Deku is gonna surpass me?!" The blonde took a step towards her.

"What you mean gonna? Deku is already better than you!" Ochaco took a step forward challenging him and the students leaned in for what was next.

"OH IS THAT RIGHT? JUST CAUSE YOU GOT A LITTLE CRUSH ON THE DAMN LOSER YOU THINK HE'S BETTER THAN ME?" He took a step closer to the girl.

"THE FACT HE HAD TO PUT UP WITH YOU AND IS STILL AS KIND AS HE IS MAKES HIM ALL THE MUCH BETTER!" Ochaco took a step closer and now they were an arm's reach away from each other. Neither refusing to back down from the standoff.

"What are you trying to say huh? That I'm a pain to be around!?" Bakugou grinned as the grabbed her shirt.

"That's exactly what I'm saying" she tilted her head down and took a breath and the slowly looked up to the boy in front of her and softly spoke her next like. "Who the hell could come out like Deku being bullied by you all their life." Ochaco grabbed his shirt and pulled him towards her their foreheads practically touching. Bakugou eyes widen for a second as she had basically revealed this fact to everyone.

"You little…" Bakugou growled.

"Bullied?" Kaminari asked? "Isn't that a bit excessive I mean he has a rather shitty personality but it can't be true he bullied Midoriya right Kirishima?...Ki-kirishima?" Kaminari looked over at the spiked red head to see him struggling with a look of remorse on his face.

"…Yes…it's true" Kirishima looked down at his feet and clenched his fist.

"Gasp! Kirishima did… did you know about this?" Mina half whispered shaking her head in disbelief as she saw her friend struggling.

"Yes…he…he told me the night that I took Dekumaru to his room…"Momo snapped her head to him.

"You mean that thing you couldn't say…." She looked horrified putting a hand to her mouth and began tearing up.

"So you told Kirishima huh…how cute you must have felt good telling someone you beat up Deku while he was quirkless made it all better." Ochaco push the boy back as tears began rolling down her face.

"Tsk, if he wanted people to know he would have said something it must not have been so bad!" Bakugou looked off to the side brushing off the wrinkles in his shirt.

"He didn't want to hurt YOUR chances to be a hero, I've read his journals from here and from his house. I've read how he'd come home have to sneak around to hide his burns or fake not being in pain. That he'd always hid a spare set of uniform to change into before his mother got home so she wouldn't see the holes YOU! PUT IN THEM." Ochaco screamed in his face as he glanced off to side not willing to look at her or the rest of the students with a scowl still present on his face.

The gasp from around the students made Izuku shrink into the girl who was holding him arms. He felt Jiro's hold him tighten as she felt the purple haired girl let out a sniffle. "No...it...can't be…." He heard the Earjack girl whisper.

"I was trying to teach him a lesson!" Bakugou finally face back to Ochaco and spat back at her.

"What that a real hero beats down the hopes and dreams of a kid who got the short end of the stick?" The gravity girl shoved him, he stumbled back but refuse to go down walked back up to her.

"That since he was quirkless he couldn't be a hero to stop before he died! It was for his own benefit!" Bakugo then shoved Ochaco back who took a step back before glaring back at him grabbing his shirt.

"THEN WHY NOT JUST TALK TO HIM! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE HIS LIFE SO MISERABLE!" Ochaco wailed.

"BECAUSE THE DAMN NERD WOULDN'T LISTEN, WE GREW UP BOTH WANTING TO BE LIKE ALL MIGHT. EVEN AFTER BEING TOLD HE WAS QUIRKLESS HE STILL THOUGHT HE COULD BE LIKE HIM! HE...HE'S JUST TOO DAMN STUBBORN!" Bakugou was getting tired being treated like the bad guy.

"Your just making excuses!" Ochaco wiped her eyes. "When me and Todoroki and Dekumaru went to his house you know what his and YOUR parents said. They let you beat him up for the same reason!" Ochaco slapped him not activating her quirk. The slap resounded around the gym. Gasp could be heard from the students, the teachers and Bakugou even had a shocked expression on his face.

"But that's…." Izuku felt Jiro's tears falling on his fur her whole body was shaking from sadness or anger he wasn't sure. "Not…fair…"

'….' There was nothing Izuku could really say in this situation beside let out a whine.

"You too man?" Sero looked at Todoroki and Izuku saw him have small tear droplets in his eyes as if willing them to stay in. It was strange thing to see on the rather stoic face of his.

"How come…how come neither of you…said anything…" Mineta who unexpectedly was tearing up as well. Izuku finally Barked out and got everyone's attention.

"Because that kid refuses to believe his suffering was worth making Bakugou lose his chances at being a strong hero. I've seen the same journals as Ochaco." Obviously lying since he wrote them. "He struggled for sure but he…looked up to Bakugou as how strong someone could be, unfortunately for his parents and Bakugou, his spirit was far stronger than what society could use to break it." Izuku finally whine out. Even Bakugou and Ochaco paused to read his text.

"Absolutely not!" Ochaco shouted at Bakugou and everyone suddenly. "Am I really expected to just sit her knowing that…that sweet little Deku, our very classmate. MY DEKU! Is just perfectly okay with what he lived with! That because it's in the past, that he has a powerful quirk now, that whatever this…this. THIS LITTLE PRICK DID DONESN'T MATTER!?"

Ochaco punched Bakugou in the face and he fell to the ground. He spun around and slipped her legs from underneath her. Causing her to fall and he jumped on top of her and slammed her into the ground holding her by the shoulders.

"This isn't any of your business round face! So, butt out!" Ochaco used her quirk to spin them, and she held him down.

"THIS IS ALL OF OUR BUISNESS! Deku isn't just an object! He is our classmate! One that has been holding a burden for all his life. Do you realize how much of this explains you moron!?" Bakugou glared at her spitting out some blood to the side.

"Why he has a hard time talking to people let alone girls! It was you! You were the reason! You bullied the hell out of him and do you what people around him did!? They avoided him!" Ochaco slapped him over and over before his grabbed her wrist.

"Pfft You think that's why they avoided him!? Ha! I told them unless they want to end up like him and catch his quirklessness they best avoid him! If he didn't have friend, I thought he'd just finally give up!" Bakugou glared at the girl.

"How could you…" Mina sobbed out holding her arms.

"That's….mess up dude…." Kaibara shook his head holding it.

"My…God…" Ibara swore thinking of the unbelieve scene unfolding in front of them.

"You destroyed him Bakugou you emotionally, physically and mental prevented him to growing into a strong person. How did he do it Bakugou!" she picked him up by the shirt and slammed him down. "HOW DID HE SURVIVE?"

Izuku watched as tear drops fell onto Bakugou face sliding down his cheek. His own eyes wavering to hold his own tears, but he refused to show any weakness.

Everyone was either crying, opening weeping or trying to stop themselves from crying. Suddenly a door opened, and a few people turned including Izuku to see All Might coming back into the gym.

"Hey why are you all sti-What is going on here." All Might's voice went from cheerful to serious after seeing Ochaco and Bakugou on ground. He looked right at Izuku for an answer but someone else responded.

"Sir, Ochaco and Bakugou are having a rather intense uh brawl…apparently ..B..Bakugou bullied Midoriya when they were younger and now Ochaco is taking her anger out on him." Itsuka tried to summarize the situation while holding in her emotions albeit not very well.

"Is that right, well you all need to le-" He was stopped as it seemed Bakugou wasn't going down without a fight.

"I don't give a damn how he survived dammit!" Bakugou shoved Ochaco off of him and punched her making her collapsed into a heap and he huffed heavily.

"Ha…ahahahaha….hahahahahaha….HAHAHAHA." Ochaco begin laughing somewhat hysterically making everyone extremely nervous. Including All Might before he could try again to stop it Ochaco spoke once again.

"You think that's it; this is why I'm so…fucking…pissed?"

People shifted uncomfortably as Ochaco voice laced with poison jabbed into Bakugou. How her already angry demeanor somehow seemed more intense then the Blonde boy's ever was. You could hear someone gulp knowing whatever was coming next, was it.

Bakugou stared down at the girl and Izuku saw fear form in his eyes as the girl in front of him slowly stood up and with her bangs covering her eyes she walked right up to him before looking up into his eyes spoke in ice.

"Maybe if you take a swan dive off a roof, you'll get a quirk in your next life." Ochaco coldly stared at Bakugou who took a step back with shaky legs.

Izuku watched All Might freeze in place his eyes widen as if the world he had protected began crumbling.

"You-you didn't." Kirishima practically begged falling to his knees.

"How-awful." Pony sobbed into Tokiyami's chest as he held her unable to keep his own dark persona up.

"How-how di-" Bakugou stared at the girl who wasn't crying anymore but her tear-stained cheeks shone in the light. Izuku saw her eyes waver as if just saying it was breaking her.

'Please…stop' He whined. He felt the girl holding him choke as if holding down her stomach.

"He wrote down that someone said that to him. Did you know he erased or scribbled out any trace of your name in his journals? Never once did he ever consider outing you." Ochaco stood up gripping her fist.

"He was quite through with it too, at the begin me and girls suspected maybe you did some light hazing to him due to your personality. I left it at that, then after hearing from his parents and yours that you actively bullied him, I took one of his journals home after reading about what you said to him. I brought it here and I studied every one of them. Looking for an answer. Why. How." Ochaco hiccupped from her crying.

"Do you know out of everyone hero page from us students. Yours is the most detailed." Ochaco, glared.

"….." Bakugou didn't say anything.

"YOU!" she grabbed his shirt once more lightly shaking him. "Why is he still so fond of you dammit! Do you know what I think about the ones who slightly bullied me in school!? NOTHING I don't have a single good will to give them at all. I don't think about them! But...but you, you told him to kill himself in a world where the quirkless have hard enough time in society!" Ochaco beat Bakugou chest.

Izuku stared at them a heavy frown upon his muzzle, and no one attempted to stop the girl, if anything you could feel the buzz of the rest of them ready to take on Bakugou themselves. Izuku could tell no one wanted to hear anymore, but they had to…they had to know. Why?

"He looked up to you so much, even still calls you by your childhood nickname. The name Deku that you gave him. Calling him useless as far I'm concerned, you're the most useless student here!" She finally got her spark back and sucker punched Bakugou in the face. He got angry and grabbed her wrist and began to activate his quirk. "I…it makes me sick now that he chose that as his hero name…that he let me use it as his nickname! Before I thought just some joke between you too and even though the name means something different for him. How can I face him knowing I somehow am keeping a part of his past attached to him…" Ochaco wept.

"Ohcaco its not-" Momo pleaded.

"NO! ITS NOT FAIR! Because of this bastard and making him so social awkward De-no…Izuku…couldn't even tell me no. A girl told him his name was cute and he just accepted it because he actually couldn't say no. It was you who did that!" Ochaco pointed at him.

"Your gonna blame me for him choosing to call his hero name Deku!? That was his own damn choice!" Bakugou yelled back.

"Was it!? You insulted him every damn day with that name, and then I come around his actual FIRST decent friend and call him that. Suddenly that's his name. DO YOU KNOW HOW FUCKED UP THAT IS!?" Ochaco screamed.

Izuku wanted to say something but what could he do without giving it away that it was him. And in the first place…she was right.

"Well it's his name now! And that's that end of the story! He's here now doing some stupid mission and he's got all you fucktards as friends! Unless there's something else huh spit it out!" Bakugou growled.

"What the hell is going on here!?" the rest of the teachers came running back into the gym. With Vlad shouting out while they all ran up to the group.

"Oooh I see some bad ki-Why are you all looking so mortified?" Midnight asked noticing the tear-stained students and the rest of them made B-line for the two fighting only to be stopped by a couple of students who gave them a quick rundown.

"Bunch of-" Aizawa groaned knowing this was going to be a huge headache.

"…."Ochaco stood there glaring at him.

"I...don't feel good." Toru put a hand over her mouth and stomach.

"Is it over I don't want know anymore." Setsuna held her shoulders as if the room was freezing over.

Ochaco not having enough brutality apparently began punching Bakugou over and over He resisted of course by blasting her with his quirk, but his emotional state was preventing him from easily flipping her off him. Any other time he could stopped her easily. No one stepped forward to stop the girl either out of spite or shock. At least almost no one.

Izuku started running forward to stop her only to be beaten by All Might who had finally snapped out of his thoughts ran and wrapped his skinny arms around Ochaco and pulled her back.

"Young Uraraka its over you won!" As he dragged the raging girl off the explosive user, he was not expecting her to twist in his arms and smash him in the face with a fist.

Izuku stopped running and felt his blood freeze as he stared at the scene. The rest of the class also snapped out of their emotional state for the moment surprised by the action. Bakugou limply on the ground stared wide eyed.

"Young-" All Might stared. As the rest of the students including Aizawa were stunned from the shock of what just happened.

"Don't you DARE talk to me like your innocent." Ochaco breathed out heavily. All Might took a step back which made even the teachers nervous.

"Uraraka, I understand or upset but that doesn't excuse raising your hand to your teacher an-" Midnight began walking towards them ready to use her quirk.

"Upset?...you think I'm simply. !?" Ochaco raised her voice before pointing at All Might.

"Haha..haaaaaa…Do you guys wanna know the best part about all this?" Ochaco sneered at the man. "Well…do ya?" She glanced at the class.

The whole room feel both frozen and boiling at the same time. There wasn't a person who thought this could get any worse.

"What…could be worse than this?" Yui asked scared.

"I don't want to know…" Koda said whimpering covering his ears.

Izuku however knew what was coming.

"After you told him to kill himself Bakugou, He ran into All Might who in fact was on a rooftop he asked him 'Can I be a hero even if I'm quirkless?' Do you know what that...MAN…said to his number one fan?" Ochaco practically bled the words through her teeth. Bakugou for once did not want an answer glancing at the man and saw fear in pervious hero's eyes, something he'd thought he'd never see. And never wanted to.

No one wanted that answer. Not a single person. They all knew the answer. Izuku knew they knew.

Izuku ran to stop her only be grabbed by Midnight who was shaking. Izuku looked at her whining begging to be let go but she looked at him so…sadly.

"No." Ochaco practically whispered as her fist turned white from how hard she was squeezing them and blood started dripping out of her palms.

As if thirteen had used her quirk and sucked out all the air I the room everyone stopped breathing. Izuku felt his heart pounding in his chest.

"You…didn't ….right…." Vlad looked to the former Pro who's shoulders where shaking.

Midnight walked up to the man with Dekumaru in her arms turning to him. "Yes All Might….tell us it's a lie…please." She begged with tears leaked out of her eyes disbelief etched onto her face.

The previous wielder had tears streaming down his face. He fell to his knees holding his hands to his face.

"All…Might?" Bakugou stared unbelieving at his hero.

"I…" All Might wheezed out. "You have to understand I was try-" All Might looked up to the gravity user.

"I DON'T WANT HEAR ESCUSES, DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT TELL HIM THAT!?" Ochaco screamed her voice hoarse and breaking.

Izuku watched from his held position staring at the broken man who once stood on top of the world. 'All Might…'

"….Yes…its…true…" All Might's whisper echoed through the area.

The sound of someone retching was heard as Toru was on the ground heaving from the emotional distress she was feeling. Several other students fell on to the ground too weak to stand anymore some also releasing the contents in their stomachs.

"By…All Might?" Monoma who was keeping himself composed but couldn't bear the thought of the number one telling anyone they couldn't be a hero and felt his own eyes burn with liquids.

"Told him he couldn't be a hero, and then left him on that rooftop. ALONE." The implications were quite terrifying.

Izuku struggled against midnight to get free, but she refused to let him go. "Oh…darling…" She tightened her hug burying her face in him.

'Gotta…get….' He was feeling sick himself remembering the situation he was in that day.

"He-he didn't do it now did he!? He's here now!" Bakugou almost pleaded with his outburst he struggled to get up.

"True enough, but I went back to the Midoriya household because I knew there was another journal, I pretended I went there to apologize for my outburst and to return the journal I took before. But really, I wanted to see the other one that Dekumaru at the time convinced me to not look through. Guess as a dog he could sense the dread in it. Its where I found out about most of his bullying." Ochaco took a few breaths wiping her tears.

'She…didn't!' Izuku finally kicked hard off Midnight to stop Ochaco. He had reached her and barked but she paid him no heed.

"He stood up there on the edge for half an hour. Contemplating whether it was worth living anymore. He was already an outcast; his childhood friend beat him daily. Teachers did nothing, his mother tried, and his hero, the person he looked up to the most just told him he couldn't be a ..a….he couldn't be ….." Ochaco fell to her knees sobbing.

Bakugou looked over to All Might. Izuku wondered what he could be feeling at this point. He placed a paw on Ochaco's leg although she didn't acknowledge him.

"I…I didn't…" All Might tried but Aizawa stopped him.

"While realistically what you did was the correct thing…it doesn't make it any better." Aizawa held a logical standpoint as he walked over and put a hand on the ex-pro's shoulder.

"Guys lets just…"Izuku was cut off by Ochaco shouting again shocking him that she had more to say.

"You all remember the sludge incident from last year!?" She turned and looked at her classmates. Some of them nodded.

"This asshole was the one who got caught! And while Death Arms, Kamui Woods, and Backdraft all stay back saying they couldn't do anything because their quirks weren't suitable. Izuku saw Bakugou and without a quirk. WITHOUT A QUIRK charged in to save his bully because he thought he looked like he needed saving!" She stood up and leered over the explosion boy.

"Of course, after that.. AlL MiGhT." She spat his name. "Came to save the day and those other pro hero's praise this dipshit for being brave while berating Izuku for charging in like that. A regular person did a better job than they did yet they have to audacity to scold him for it. Oh, let's not forget they after all that, All Might then decided he could be a hero you know after he apparently stood back for someone else to do his job! He offered to train him to help him get into UA. Apparently, De-Izuku knew about All Might shrunken form since last year." Ochaco shrugged but still glared at the former number one.

'There were…circumstances.' Izuku thought since there was a reason why All Might couldn't charge in.

"That...would explain…" Todoroki mumbled something under his breath.

"So, the nerd got some training, and All Might…" Bakugou tried to continue but Ochaco slapped him.

"You don't understand you moron." Ochaco growled.

"What was that pink cheeks?" Bakugou growled back but made attempt to retaliate.

"You never even thanked him for saving you, what was it you. 'I didn't need your damn help you Deku.' Was it something like that?" Ochaco punched Bakugou in the chest and Izuku felt her hatred towards the boy intensify even more.

"We should just stop here." Izuku begged barking out. He was ignored as Ochaco continued her assault and kicked Izuku out of the ring and tumbled a bit before shaking it off. Some of the students gasp at the action and Jiro stared at him intensely.

"I'll make you regret ever hitting Izuku!" Ochaco cried out jumping on top of the Bakugou and pounded him as he covered up where he could.

"I'll teach you your damn place Round face!" Bakugou made a few attempts to hit her, but she flat out ignored them choosing instead to keep wailing on the boy.

A few moments of the only sound weak whimpers form the students and punches could be heard. Finally, Izuku had enough the teachers for some reason were letting this go on too long.

"That's enough!" Izuku barked. The teachers snapped out of their thoughts and the students turned their attention to the pup who was marching his way to the match. If you could call it that anymore.

"I said. ENOUGH!" Izuku barked louder. The two in the center kept going Ochaco seemingly increasing her ferocity. His fur bristled and began sparking and his tail elongated and become thicker as though he was halfway to going to dire wolf form. His Canines grew a couple of inches was well.

Izuku wrapped this tail around Ochaco and pulled her way from Bakugou who's arms fell weakly to his side as he wheezes out of his swollen face, coughing a bit.

"Let-let me go Dekumaru! I-I need to kick...kick his ass some more!" Ochaco weakly struggling against his enlarged tail.

"NO, this isn't even a match anymore all your doing is beating a helpless kid." Izuku held her in the air as she tried to use her quirk on him only to forget he could fly so he just hovered in the air while holding her.

Ochaco slapped his tail making him rise up but since he could fly it really didn't affect him like she'd hope.

"BAD DOG BAD DOG BAD DOG!" Ochaco continued to struggle in his grip and Izuku growled.

"Don't you think you've done enough damage. Girl. What you are doing is the same as he used to do" Izuku's usually amusing growl turned deep.

"What do you mean!? You think this is enough to cover the years of beatings HE!" She pointed to Bakugou who was on the ground on his knees at this point coughing up bloody spit. "Did to Izuku!"

"You won't even call him by the name YOU gave him now?..." Izuku was in turmoil with his own emotions. At first, he was frantic and then sadden, but now he just felt angry. Angry that secrets he tried to hide were exposed and, in a way, he wasn't even there to stop it.

"How could I call him that knowing what it truly means to him!?"

Something snapped in Izuku and as he went to bark and dropped the girl from the air, and she landed in a heap on the ground from the sudden overtake of gravity. Izuku turned to face her and instead of barking Izuku screamed.

"IT MEANS YOU CAN DO IT!" As an unfamiliar voice rocketed forth from this throat at the girl, he paid no heed to what he just did and the shock on the girl in front of him. He began growing but nearly to the size he became before, he was more the size of a small wolf enough to be intimating.

"Wh-what." Ochaco looked confused.

Izuku continued. "ISN'T THAT WHY HE CHOSE IT HAS HIS HERO NAME. TO THROW IT BACK INTO SOCIEY'S FACE!?" Izuku stepped towards Ochaco, and she who had sat up scooted back in slight fear at him walking towards her.

"That-that's still…" Izuku watched as her adrenaline must be coming down since she flinched as her hand touched the ground all bruised and possibly sprained from her match and fall.

"What gave you the right to dig into his life Uraraka?" Izuku asked and the girls eyes looked around guilty.

"I know you care about him. Everyone does. BUT that journal the one I KNEW you shouldn't read. You went back behind my back while I was out did you. You knew what you were getting into." Izuku was directly in front of Ochaco, and he walked up to her body, so he was face to face with her. He felt her shudder too petrified to move.

"He left that journal hidden. He erased the names. never spoke about it. What gave you the right to tell everyone about HIS PAST!?" Izuku turned to the class and gave them all a look and he could tell something scared them. He faced back to Ochaco and sighed and took a step back and sat down and waited for the girl to respond to him.

"Because Bakugou needs to pay for what he's done!" She angrily responded.

"….for whose benefit?" Izuku asked simply.

Ochaco looked bewildered. "Whose!? For De-Izuku of course!" she said as if it was obvious.

"…Hey Bakugou…" Izuku said still staring at Ochaco.

"Fucking what…"He coughed out some blood.

"You and Midoriya…how much beef does he got with you?" Izuku asked and from the sounds of confused murmurs around him got everyone attention.

"How the fuck would I know dammit…He never said anything to me. As far as I know we got that shit out when we got into that fight a while back." Izuku looked over to see him sat on his rear and glare at him wiping his face.

"Interesting. So Ochaco…He never said anything to his own bully, never said anything to the teachers. Never even said anything to All Might who trained him. Most certainly didn't tell anyone else in class. I know he didn't tell you. He apparently got what he wanted out of his system. So for whose benefit was it you revealed this to everyone?" Izuku now understood why he got angry. Sure, it was nice for someone to stick up for him. But from the looks of everyone it felt more like pity. He did not want to be pitied.

"…." Ochaco simply glared at him apparently nothing to say.

"I understand you want to protect him, and that you care for him. I could have understood you simply beating on Bakugou to release your frustrations he isn't exactly the most gentleman of people. But to say all of that…take a look at your classmates." Izuku watched her look over and he turned as well.

"Do you think Midoriya wants to come back to 39 of his peers pitying him? Look at him like he was stray dog who was left out in the rain and abandoned? To feel alienated from doing anything without them thinking he's on the verge of being suicidal!?" His voice rose as he ended.

The class looked ashamed, Ochaco look like she was about to puke, he didn't know if it was from overuse of her quirk or from the sudden realization of what she had done.

"You don't know him so you how would you know how he feels?" Ochaco tried to fight back she only enraged Izuku further form that comment.

"I DON'T NEED TO KNOW HIM BECAUSE I!-"

Clap.

Izuku heard a booming clap and was snapped out of his speech and looked to the entrance.

The sound reverberated around the gym and in the entrance stood Nezu who did not look happy.

"As of now. Everyone is under house arrest." Nezu proclaimed.

"Wh.." Midnight voiced.

"Recovery girl patch those two up and take them to the medical ward. Ectoplasm guide the rest of the students to their dorms. The teachers. My office. Now!" There was a second of nothing happening. "NOW!" The students all scrambled to leave there was no changing it was just straight to the dorms.

Izuku calmed himself and shook himself to get rid of the bristly feeling of his fur and returned to his puppy looking self. Nezu walked up to him gave him a sorrowful look. "As for you." Izuku looked ashamed. "For now, go back to Class B dorms with Itsuka." Izuku nodded and went to find the girl and jumped on her shoulder shocking her for a second before looking at the principle to see him nod and then she ran like hell with Izuku on her shoulder.

Izuku upon her shoulder felt raindrops hit him as the crowd of student's silently walked through the rain to their dorms. Ectoplasms clones surrounding guiding them to make sure the followed orders. A small thunder could be heard in the distance. It seemed even the heavens wept at the tale from earlier.

It felt like a blink, and he was in Itsuka's room with her once they entered the girl robotically went to the bathroom stripped out of her costume and dried off with a towel and put on some new panties, and long shirt. She left her soaked outfit lay upon the floor and dropped the towel on Izuku not even bothering to dry him. She fell face first into the pillow on her bed. Izuku heard a muffled scream. And covered sobs coming from the girl.

He wiped himself dry for few minutes before hopping on the chair and listened to the storm outside which gained power and was soon booming with rage and flashes. Izuku watch the girl slowly over an hour go from sobbing to small weeping to light breathing as she cried herself to sleep.

'She doesn't even know me that well…' Izuku heart ached at how everyone must have taken this. That Ochaco was holding on to all this herself trying to keep from not falling apart. He wonders just how much she must have cried when she first read about this. How the rest of class A must be taking this.

'Ochaco…Bakugou…All Might…' Izuku didn't know how to feel. The school now knew of his past with Bakugou and who knows what that will entail. It's bad enough for it to be revealed but to not even properly defend himself. He was about to just expose himself solely to prove a point.

'Should I even continue hiding my identity?' Izuku jumped as a particularly loud thunder shook the building making Itsuka jump up and look around frantically.

"Morning sleepy head." Izuku mused to the girl.

"Deku…maru?" She rubbed some sleep out of her eyes and sat up swinging her legs over the edge of the bed.

"You wanna talk about it?" Izuku hopped off the chair and onto the bed next to the red head.

"I…I don't know…I don't even really know the kid very well it's just…" she held her hands to her chest. "It hurts to even know how much he went through I can't imagine what it took for Ochaco to hold on to that information…" Itsuka sniffled a bit.

"Yeah, I'm gonna have to give a good talking to about going through peoples stuff." Izuku huffed out, making Itsuka let out a breathy laugh although it didn't sound humorous.

"How does someone who wants to become a hero treat someone like that though. I knew his attitude was garbage but to think that…" Itsuka shook her head.

"If you met his mother you'd see where his brash attitude came from…but he did say he was trying to protect him." Izuku breathed out.

"YOU CALL THAT PROTECTING!?" Itsuka shot up and faced Dekumaru.

"I never said it was good the way he did it but think about it from his perspective. His childhood friend was trying to get into a profession that would most likely kill him without an ability." Dekumaru explained.

"Well, it still doesn't excuse bullying him like that!" Itsuka crossed her arms.

"So if your quirkless friend told you they were going to become a top hero what would you say." Izuku pressed.

"Well…I…uh…" Itsuka stumbled on her words as Izuku walked around her bed a bit.

"They were extremely adamant that this is what they wanted nothing else mattered." He stopped and stared at her.

"I'd…probably try to talk her out of it…" Itsuka grabbed her left arm and looked away.

"Why." He simple stated.

"Well because…without a quirk you can't…" Izuku jumped at her and scratched her arm making her arm bleed slightly and she jumped to the side. "HEY WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?"

Izuku stopped and turned around and sat down and licked his paw and sighed out before looking her dead in eyes. "What is your quirk?" Izuku narrowed his eyes.

"You know what my quirk is what does that have to do with anything?" She grabbed some Kleenex and wiped her arm.

"Does it stop bullets?" He asked.

"No?" She responded.

"It didn't stop you from being scratched now did it?" He stated.

"Where are you going with this?" She huffed.

"How are you different from a quirkless person?" He dared her and she responded instantly.

"I have a quirk duh." She seemed dumbfounded and Izuku shook his head.

"That does what exactly." Izuku walked up to her slowly making her nervous after his last attack.

"It makes my hands…"She stopped and looked at her hands and then back at the dog. "Bigger…" Itsuka eyes widen a little.

"Catching on? All your quirk really does is make your hands bigger, sure gives you some extra strength but really. Right now, looking at you. I don't see a damn difference between you and someone without a quirk. Certainly, some quirks like mutants are quite obvious. But for most people…They might as well not even have a quirk. You managed to turn yours into a powerful weapon." Izuku jumped back on his bed.

"But as you saw I was able to scratch you easily, someone with a primitive gun and good aim catching you off guard could easily kill you, or practically anyone here if their quirks weren't active, even Tetsutetsu and Kirishima. But you've all been brainwashed by society that even if a quirk is to elongate your big toe for two seconds. A quirk is a quirk and therefore your vastly superior to someone who doesn't. regardless of their talents, their intellect or their hard work." Izuku ranted.

"But being a hero is…" Itsuka tried but Izuku interrupted her this time thought speaking without realizing it.

"A job occupation that requires training. A person with a healing quirk doesn't just automatically go into the medical field without going through medical school. Hell, they might not even want to go to the medical field. Just like you who trained in martial arts and learned to use your quirk in a way to become a hero. What's to say a quirkless person couldn't use just tad more support gear to help, or even to not be a combat hero. Maybe their mind is more set to tactical support or organizing rescued operations." Izuku finished

Itsuka stood there shocked and ashamed at herself.

"This is no fault of any of you though. You all grew up being taught that quirkless and the quirk user had their place. When someone tries to break that mold it's scary to think of someone trying to change what you know. This kid Midoriya." He paused for a second. "He knew what he wanted. I read those same books and let me tell you his ideas before he gained his quirk were quite the thing. But as long as everyone believes that quirkless means helpless. They will always be considered bottom feeders." Izuku stopped and stared at Itsuka.

"Um…Kind of off topic but could you always speak like that?" Itsuka shuffled nervously.

"Talk like what?" Izuku tilted his head and then eyes widen. "HOLY SHIT I CAN TALK!?" Izuku jumped up panicking.

"Uh…" Itsuka looked flustered before coughing. "I suppose are right, although it's kind of pains to admit my quirk isn't all that …great." Itsuka sighed.

"Oh, no your quirk is amazing." Izuku forgot about freaking out about his ability to speak answering Itsuka. "That things you can with it are fantastic and what you'll be able to do is something I look forward to seeing." Izuku smiled.

"You….are a very strange dog…." Itsuka patted his head.

"I try." Izuku rubbed his head against her hand.

"Have you ever considered going into therapy." Itsuka asked.

Izuku whined and slide himself along the bed. "Whyyyyyyyyy." Itsuka looked confused but giggled as some of her anxiety left her body.

A knock on the door startled them and Itsuka answered it to reveal Nezu.

"Principal Nezu?" She asked.

"Hello, Miss Itsuka I need to borrow the canine there for a bit." He waved at the pup who now looked scared.

"Um okay, Dekumaru your needed." Itsuka stepped out of the way as Izuku hopped of the bed and walked out the door.

"I'll bring him back soon." Nezu waved. Izuku looked back sadly as the girl gave him a low wave and slowly shut the door.

The walk down the hallway was eerily quiet even with a raging storm outside. Izuku gulped. He didn't dare ask anything afraid of any answer he might receive. As they reached the lounge there was Ectoplasm with and umbrella near the door. There were some nods before the proceeded back to the office building. The minutes felt like hours until they arrived and situated themselves in the meeting room, he was in a few days ago.

Ectoplasm picked him up and set him on the table and every one of the teachers were in the room. Nezu took his place at the head. All Might sitting with his face in his hands to his right, Midnight to his left sitting there with depressed look. Aizawa chose to stand just behind Nezu to his left. Next to All Might was Vlad and Cementos. Next to Midnight was Present mic and Hound Dog. Ectoplasm chose to stand near the door.

"So Midoriya." Nezu put his hands together and Izuku gulped as the mouse creature slowly opened his eyes and looked up to settle his gaze upon the pup in front of him.

"We've got lots to discuss."
