Chapter 19

Today was the day of the finals. The written exam was difficult but thanks to the study sessions, things were relatively easy. I can't say the same about the others though.

I was in the locker room, I was the only one there, I had a lot on my mind, but that needed to wait, now was the time to ace the exam.

If things go the way I think they'll go, me and Bakugo need to defeat All Might.

I sighed and put on my visor, I looked down at my costume, it hasn't changed much but there isn't much to change… Maybe later on.

I walked out after pressing the button on the side of my neck, letting my mask snap over my mouth. Game on.


I walked up to the line of teachers next to my classmates.

I looked at the rest of my classmates, I was here with these amazing future heroes. I felt a small tingle in the back of my head, I rubbed it as Principal Nezu popped out of Aizawa's scarf and started to explain what our exams were gonna be.

I looked at Camie, she would most likely be paired up with Sero against Midnight.

"Momo and Todoroki will be up against me." Aizawa smirked as he clutched his capture scarf. "And Midoriya and Bakugo will be against-" Nezu was cut off as All Might landed in front of us. "I AM HERE, TO FIGHT!" He announced.

I narrowed my eyes and looked at Bakugo who didn't look too happy to work with me.

"Now the ten stages have been set and all teams will begin simultaneously." Aizawa explained… wait what?

I looked surprised, I thought it was one by one… I guess that things will be different here.

The weights were still a factor, at least we had that.

The teams and their respective opponents walk to the buses. I walked up to Ochako and smiled. "Good luck." I told her, making her nod and smile nervously. "Thanks but… I should be the one saying that considering who you're facing." I walked to the bus with Bakugo in tow.

All Might got in the driver's seat and I sat next to Bakugo in the back.

I leaned in. "Any plans?" I whispered. The explosive blond shook his head. "Not yet…" I sighed. "Okay… we need to think of something." I looked at his gauntlets and grenades…

"How many of those do you have?" I asked. All Might looked from the rearview mirror and smiled a bit wider.


Momo looked at the gate leading into the small suburban area. Mr. Aizawa already explained and was giving them 10 minutes to plan. "Yaoyorozu, do you have a plan?" Todoroki asked.

Momo looked up. "I believe I do, the way to win is to run or defeat our opponent, I think we should run to the exit, if we were to encounter Mr. Aizawa, we need to blind him, I can make stun grenades for us to use to blind him, once we do, you can use your quirk to attack." Momo explained.

Todoroki blinked. "And what happens if he is able to capture one of us?" He asked, "Then we need to free the other." Momo spoke with confidence, she learned from her internship and from Izuku.

Brains can't win without some brawn to back it up and vice versa. During her time in the Fatgum agency, she learned to create items at a faster rate, but to also not discard them right after using, everything has value, make sure to use it to its full potential.

Todoroki nodded. "Okay, I suggest we use our quirks continuously to make sure that Mr. Aizawa is not in range."

"Agreed." She started to create stun grenades and handed 5 to Todoroki. "Hide them." She advised and created two knives in sheaths. "In case he uses his capture weapon." She handed him the knife.

Todoroki looked at it and wrapped it around his ankle. "What about you?" He asked, "I can handle myself." Momo gave him a look filled with determination. No longer would she be slow.

The monochromic boy simply stared at her, impressed with how much she thought ahead.


Ochako sighed and watched as Aoyama posed. "... Aoyama we need to plan." She called him over, which he did.

"Do you have a plan?" He asked with his usual twinkle.

"Yeah, Thirteen will use her quirk to try and trap us, but with my quirk I can probably get her from behind, if you can catch her off guard, I can cuff her." That was a plan Deku would think of… hopefully. Ochako looked at her teammate and blinked as he stared at her with a knowing smile… or just his regular smile.

"You're thinking of him are you?" Aoyama asked. "Midoriya." He leaned in, "Is it… because you like him?"

Ochako became redder than a tomato. "W-WHAT!" She put her hands on her cheeks and floated away.


Camie looked at Sero as they stood in front of the starting gate. "Any plan?" She asked, Sero shook his head. "No… you?"

"No…" She sat on the floor. Midnight was the hero she interned with, she knew how that woman's quirk worked.

But how could she use her quirk against Midnight's.

Camie looked at Sero. "Midnight will come for you first." She claimed. "Because her quirk works on guys more effectively?" Sero asked. "Yeah… okay… I think I have something, we just need to be quick." Camie took a deep breath before putting on her mask. "Listen close."


Kaminari and Mina looked at the starting gate.

"... I don't think we should underestimate our Principal." Kaminari looked at the pink girl. "Yeah, I agree." Mina nodded. "With what Midoriya said, he can be pretty tough if he really puts his mind to it." She looked around and stepped back.

"Hey Kaminari, see that crane?" She pointed at the tall structure. Kaminari walked up next to her and saw it too.

"... Fight?" Kaminari smirked. "Oh yeah~" Mina grinned.

I started at the gate leading into the fake city and then to my teammate. "Okay, so we're good on the plan?" I asked Bakugo.

"Yeah, yeah, work together and win." Bakugo waved me off. "Bakugo, you do know why they put us together right?" I asked with a stern look.

Bakugo stared at me before sighing. "Yeah I know… I'm not good with working with others." He responded. "First time for everything." I flexed my wrist.

"Everyone in position?" The speakers came to life.

I looked at the gate and charged up Full Cowling. "Let's end this man's career Dynamight."

Bakugo smirked. "Fine, but keep up Deku." I rolled my eyes.

"READY!"

"GOOO!"


Momo and Todoroki ran through the streets, Momo was creating small matryoshka dolls as they ran.

"Let's hurry, Mr. Aizawa might be on the prowl." Todoroki took point as Momo looked behind to see if their teacher was following them.

"We need to be fast." Momo told him, suddenly, she couldn't create anymore dolls. Momo's eyes noticed also and threw the grenade in the air.

The flashbang went off. Momo closed her eyes beforehand and found their teacher, standing on one of the roofs, rubbing his eyes. "East!" She called and Shoto created an ice wall to cover their line of sight.

"Okay, come on!" Momo ran forward with Todoroki following. "If we were getting close to the gate, Mr. Aizawa would be trying to steer us away, so we need to go around and see if the gate is there." Momo explained as she started creating once again.

"We don't have a lot of time." Todoroki countered. "If it comes to that, we have to trap him." Momo turned a corner.


Midnight tapped her foot impatiently as the match started 5 minutes ago and the team she was supposed to face haven't even showed up yet.

"Ugh what is taking those two so long?" Midnight groaned, the gate was right behind her, so either they beat her or lure her away.

"Hmmm Camie's quirk is illusions.." She narrowed her eyes and walked forward. "If I were them I would use her quirk to hide my location." She licked her lips, "My, my, what a devious strategy." She snapped her whip at a pile of 'rocks'.

"If I didn't train you to use that quirk to the fullest!" The rocks disappeared showing Camie and Sero. "Ahh trying to test my patience~" She smirked.

Sero gulped and stepped back. "I knew you would do this, I know we can't sneak past you." Camie smirked back and blew hard into her breather and smoke came out of her fingertips covering the whole area.

The smoke cleared to multiple versions of Camie and Sero, scattered around the area.

"Try to find the real one~" The Camies called all at once. "YEAH!" The Seros agreed.

Midnight couldn't help but feel proud. "Now that's using your head!" She snapped her whip at a few illusions.


Ochako was hiding behind a wall as was Aoyama, Thirteen was using her quirk to keep them in place. The goal right behind the pro.

"Nice try heroes, but I'm not letting you pass!" Thirteen declared, not letting up her quirk.

Ochako smacked her forehead, there was nothing she could use as a weapon, no debris, nothing!

And Aoyama couldn't use his naval laser, everything was getting sucked into Thirteen's black hole, even any debris that was laying around!

She looked at Aoyama and then at her hands. "Do you have a plan?!" He asked in a panicked tone, her eyes widened.

"I think I do!" She jumped into the open letting herself be pulled into the black hole. Thirteen looked shocked and stopped her quirk. "Sorry about this!" Ochako reached out and increased the gravity around Thirteen bringing her to her knees.

"Aoyama!" She called, the sparkling hero in training ran up and put the cuffs on her. "How did you know that would work?" He asked his teammate. "The teachers are acting like villains but they won't actually try to kill us." Ochako winked.

"Well you got me fair and square." Thirteen sighed and the buzzer came to life. "Uraraka and Aoyama have passed!" The speakers called.


Bakugo and I walked through the city. I looked straight ahead. "Get ready." I called out.

Just then, a huge wave of wind came our way, I pulled Bakugo behind one of the buildings to provide cover.

"Who cares about collateral damage." All Might's voice boomed, we stepped out to meet the number one hero. "I'm a villain now, heroes, remember that." His gaze got Bakugo to freeze momentarily but I barely flinched, Stain's aura was similar to this.

I smirked, "We'll remember that." "Just as we blast your ass to hell!" Bakugo matched my smirk.

"Confident are we?" All Might dashed towards us with his fist raised, we rolled out of the way just as he passed, All Might grabbed Bakugo's foot and pulled him back.

I expanded my shield and leaped towards my mentor. I slammed the shield against his arm making him free Bakugo. "You should have run while you had the chance!" He grabbed my shield and tossed me to the wall.

Fuck, stronger than I thought. "Well, running isn't the way of a hero." I got up and got into my defender's stance. "We're gonna win." I declared as I threw a grenade at him, his eyes widened as he covered his face, the explosive stunning him for a moment. "Scatter!" I used black whip to tether up the building behind me.

Bakugo blasted away in the opposite direction.

All Might smirked, "Well the two of you working together warms my heart, but now it's time for your teacher to school you." All Might jumped after me.


Nezu looked around for any movement in the area, nothing, "Well this won't do at all will it." He put his paw on a lever.

A loud whistle pierced through the air. "Principal, glad I found you, how many volts of electricity would it take to reach you and stun you?" Kaminari called from the bottom of the crane.

Nezu smiled. "Why I'd say just 9000 volts to reach up here." The principal replied, "But I could simply use something rubber to save myself, I did bring a rubber seat to stop that."

Kaminari smirked wider, "That's okay, I have another idea to take you down."

Mina popped up behind Nezu with a smile. "Hi~" She giggled and put the handcuffs on the small principal.

Nezu blinked and smiled. "My my, what a plan you two made."

Mina helped Nezu down the crane. "Good work!" Kaminari high fived Mina as the buzzer sounded.

"Kaminari and Ashido have passed!"


Midnight continued to snap her whip against the illusions, she growled in anger and decided to hell with it.

"No more playtime!" She ripped the fabric on her arm, letting the aromatic mist fill the area.

The illusion didn't waver, Midnight started to run back to the gate, "Not getting past me." She stopped and turned to face the illusions.

The illusion started to fade as the buzzer sounded. "Utsushimi and Sero have passed!" The hero's eyes widened and she looked behind her, the air shimmered and smoke dispersed showing Camie and Sero waving at her.

"We won!" Camie jumped up and down in victory. "And with time to spare!" Sero responded.

Midnight wanted to be upset that she lost but was very proud of her student, she could be an amazing hero one day. Midnight smiled. "Great work Mirage."


Momo and Todoroki continued to run in the direction of the gate. Momo was still making small dolls.

"If I'm correct the exit should be this way!" Momo told her partner. "Mr. Aizawa is trying to keep us away from here so it should be." Shoto reassured her.

The underground hero was standing on a rooftop watching his students, "At least they're using their heads." Aizawa muttered and used his capture tool to swing to intercept.

Momo's quirk stopped working, Todoroki's eyes widened as he took another flash grenade out of his belt but the capture scarf wrapped around him. "Can't fool me twice." Aizawa pulled Todoroki back.

Momo stopped and looked at her teacher who had her partner as a hostage.

"What are you gonna do now hero?" Her teacher asked, drawing a knife. He wouldn't hurt Todoroki, just trying to get her to surrender.

She looked at his feet to see her dolls strewn around his feet. "What I need to do." She took out a small detonator and pressed the button before Aizawa could react. Todoroki already shut his eyes and the dolls Momo made exploded in a bright flash.

Aizawa screamed and let go of Todoroki, covering his ears and shutting his eyes in pain, the sensory overload was too much, he felt his hands being cuffed together.

As he regained his vision, he saw Momo smiling at him with Todoroki next to her.

".. you planned this the whole time." Aizawa accused. "Not necessarily, I figured that you would try to go after Todoroki since he had the stun grenades, so I made small ones in the dolls that I made." Momo smiled wider.

"You fell right into my trap!" She gleefully said. Shoto stared at her not knowing that she had a plan for this…. Scary…

Aizawa sighed but had a smile on his face as the buzzer sounded. "Yaoyourozu and Todoroki have passed!"


I ran faster, making quick turns and jumps to outrun All Might.

A little longer… I thought as I turned and fired some air bullets at All Might, "You can't escape young Midoriya!" All Might was in front of me in seconds, I charged to Overdrive in order to dodge his attack.

I gritted my teeth, this attack was only a theory, I hope this works.

"DEKU!" Bakugo screamed from above.

I smirked and ran to the damaged part of Ground Beta, I landed and Bakugo landed next to me, panting and full of sweat. "All full?" I asked, "Fuck yeah." Bakugo responded as All Might landed a few meters in front of us. "If this doesn't work I'll kick your ass." Bakugo threatened.

"Get in line." I pushed to 40%, "Planning something? Like I would allow that!" All Might charged at us, I shot out black tendrils and it wrapped around him, trapping him. "Titanium binding!" I called my new move.

All Might's eyes widened at how strong the tendrils were, he couldn't break free.

During my internship, I worked on my binding technique, I was able to trap Mirko and she said it was like trying to break through metal. Bakugo blasted into the sky, I leaped into the air following Bakugo and bringing All Might with me.

I used my free hand to pull us higher into the sky, I gritted my teeth and smirked, "Nuclear!" I clapped hard sending a wave of strong wind towards All Might, Bakugo above me aimed his gauntlets and the two grenade safety pins popped off. "FINALE!" Bakugo finished as the gauntlets went off.

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!


Momo and Todoroki just entered Recovery Girl's tent, inside were, Uraraka and Aoyama, Mina and Kaminari, Sero and Camie, Jiro and Koda, Shoji and Toru, Ojiro and Iida and Tsu and Tokoyami.

"Oh everyone finished?" Momo asked, surprised. "Yeah, Kirishima and Sato failed." Uraraka stated. "And Mirdoriya and Bakugo are still fighting!" Mina called them over pointing at the screen.

Momo watched Midoriya weave through the city, avoiding All Might but not going for the exit. "What's Bakugo doing?" Todoroki asked as Bakugo was shown running around, using minimal explosives as possible.

Momo stared for a moment, wondering what they were planning. "Whoa they're close to the gate!" Kaminari pointed it out.

Bakugo and Midoriya were standing in the middle of the street with All Might standing before them. "They should run, All Might is too powerful." Tokoyami stated. "I don't think Bakugo's pride will allow that." Shoji responded.

"They're both smirking." Tsu pointed out.

"WHOA, They're pulling All Might into the sky!" Sero looked amazed as Mirdoriya was holding All Might so tightly with black whip.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Recovery Girl grumbled. Soon the feed was cut and the ground shook violently causing most of the students to hang onto something, or fall on the floor.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?" Kaminari panicked. "Kero… I think that was Bakugo…" Tsu said, stunned from the amount of force that needed to make the ground shake.

"I think Bakugo was working up sweat for his gauntlets, but it wouldn't be enough for something like this." Camie rubbed her behind as she fell on her ass from the earthquake.

Momo furrowed her brow. "... Midoriya can create high winds…" She looked at the static, "That… plus the explosives…"

Kaminari gulped. "Major burns… I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that attack."

Everyone nodded. Recovery Girl typed on the keyboard trying to get the picture back.


I landed on the even more ruined street, panting with a proud smirk on my face. Bakugo slowed his fall with small explosives. "Fuck that was painful." He rolled his shoulders. "But fucking worth it." His smirk was wider than mine, in front of us was All Might, his costume burnt and in cuffs, but his face was mostly fine and had a wide grin.

"CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO!" All Might boomed, "You have bested me!" I chuckled. "That was awesome." I grinned at Bakugo.

The explosive user looked at it for a moment before chuckling himself. "Yeah it was, also Nuclear Finale?" He asked. "Do you have any better ideas for a name?" I asked crossing my arms before flinching and uncrossing them, they felt sore…. Very sore.

"Nah, it's fine." He waved me off before flinching himself. "... I think we need to see Recovery Girl." I said as the buzzer sounded. "MIDORIYA AND BAKUGO HAVE PASSED!"
