Bakugo's Perks:
Explosive – Bakugo's quirk will activate a skill check when working on a generator in the terror radius. If successful a bright explosion will blind the killer but cause the generator to be unrepairable for a short time.
"Out of my way, extras!"
Stun Grenade – Entering a chase grants one token. When there are three, after successful escapes, punch the killer. This super move will send them flying a few feet away and stun them.
"We're not here to make friends, we're here to fight!"
Show-off – While repairing, healing, or sabotaging when other survivors are in range, get a speed boost. However, cause others survivors to get more skill checks.
"I'll be number one with my strength!"
.
Toga's Perks:
The Vampire: Main weapon is a knife. Himiko can throw needles, but only three.
Start out in normal form. The power gauge will charge up the more blood is spilled. Throwing needles will significantly increase the gauge if it hits a survivor. When the gauge is full, Himiko can transform.
Disguised as one of the survivors Himiko has no terror radius. When attacking the disguise will disappear, and the vampire can instantly down a survivor.
When the survivor is downed, their dying state time meter decreases faster.
Affection – The first survivor attacked will become the obsession. If the obsession is mori'd or sacrificed, hook time will be decreased.
"Hi! I'm Toga, my dear Izuku!"
Undercover –If a survivor escapes a chase, immediately become undetectable. No terror radius and the survivor gets the oblivious status effect for a short time.
"No one cared who I was until I put on the mask."
Atrophy – If a survivor is holding a med kit and they get attacked, the med kit changes. Med kits will heal slower and failed skill checks refill the power gauge.
"Isn't blood cute?"
.
Bakugo wakes up in USJ. He's shocked.
Something is off about the training facility. No pro heroes or students are around maintaining the building. A surreally icy cold fog clings to the air. It feels…empty. Abandoned.
Was he knocked out? Did the LOV attack again? Where's the rest of class 1-A?
.
USJ is intact. But the glass dome above is damaged. Glass chips rain down glimmering like rain. Outside is a grey, cloudy day. Everything else remains the same. No. Downsized. A mere imitation of USJ. Spinning around bewilderingly, Bakugo counts the zones.
.
Central plaza, ruins zone, downpour storm zone. The mountain zone is clad in lively dense forest. Dust and flecks of debris catch on a sharp wind. Big red and yellow generators lay scattered around. In the distance one generator's lights wink. The other machines are still and lifeless so someone must be working on one. Bakugo sprints towards the plaza.
.
"Who the hell are you extras?!"
"Agh! C-Careful! I almost m-missed that skill check!" A scrawny guy wearing big glasses frantically pulls switches and presses buttons. His face is a panicked expression. Bakugo scoffed. He reminds him of Deku and Iida.
.
"You must be the new survivor…" a girl with orange braids noticed. "I'm Meg and this is Dwight and Jake."
"Survivor? What?"
"It's a little confusing but," a quiet man with fluffy dark hair startled Katsuki. "Just listen to us. We've been in the Entity's world a long time so-"
"Entity? Is that some sort of pathetic villain name?! I don't need your help! I'm Bakugo Katsuki and I'm going to be the number one hero!"
.
"This guy is nuts…"
"What'd you say Four Eyes?! Die!"
"Hey!" Meg grabbed Bakugo's arm, stopping him from punching Dwight like a BOB. When Katsuki trained, only the stand and charred material remained. "Just focus on repairing these gens!"
"We d-don't even know who or w-what the killer is yet."
"We'll have time to explain everything later," the woodsman hissed. "If you don't work together with other survivors we'll all be sacrificed!"
.
The generator is completed. Meg asked, "Where are you going Jake?"
"To sabotage hooks. I want to learn about the killer's powers if I can."
"Dwight and I will find another gen. Hey Bakugo, do you know this map? You-"
.
She screamed.
Jake stumbled and tugged Dwight with him, running away. Meg was hit by a needle! She ran and in an instant disappeared. Katsuki is baffled. "Damn extras! Just use your quirks!"
.
Katsuki faces the murky fog, eyes narrowing mistrustfully. He throws out his arms and –what?! No explosions?!
Bakugo is flung rolling across plaza stone towards the ruins zone. A strong force had hit him.
.
"I thought my wonderful, handsome, strong Izuku would be here! But it's you. How boring!"
Bakugo's muscles quiver as he desperately tries to push away a glinting knife. It hovers just above his neck. "I know…who you are!"
Toga grinned. "I'm from the LOV! Shigaraki wanted you to join but I don't know why. You're powerful sure, but wouldn't be any fun as a villain."
.
Kicking Himiko sent her flying into a rundown steel wall. She hardly felt the pain and lunged at Katsuki. The knife hisses as it swings past Bakugo's face. It slices his shoulder. Himiko swings it again and the knife stabs his side. Katsuki screams, his feet hardly contacting the ground as he launches down a complex road.
"I'd be careful," Himiko said. "Things work differently in this world."
His heart is pounding. Normally it's enthusiasm during a battle. But now –is it fear?
.
Turning a corner he slips and falls. Debris cuts into his leg. Bakugo's muscular arms drag him up and around into a concrete city. Vaulting through gaps in the stacks of junk, Bakugo dashes into a dark building.
His heartbeat fades into a calm pulse again.
.
Bakugo senses a person hovering a breath's width from him. He turns-
A knife sinks into his neck. Bakugo collapses and blood pools beneath him. Himiko laughed. Her wild grin is pissing him off.
'Why can't I get up?! I've never-'
.
Toga picks Bakugo up and carries him over her shoulder. Katsuki wonders if he'll die. He follows his usual victory plan: punching and kicking. Neither works. Himiko is still walking to a…is that a hook?
'Am I really this weak?'
.
An unknown feeling of self-doubt pierces Bakugo. He's never been intimidated. The hook tears through his body and Katsuki is suspended above the ground, glaring at Himiko.
His quirks have given him the false hope of being invincible. Even from the toughest fights Katsuki could still stand up from, wearing a snobbish smile. But this…this new reality, this ghastly world's rules, he's shocked!
She drinks the blood raining onto her cupped hands. Himiko wipes her mouth and follows the sound of a generator exploding.
.
Bakugo cursed. 'I ain't letting some no-name villain sacrifice me!' Every small movement sends dreadful pain though Bakugo's body. Like thunder. He reaches his arms up to grab the hook. Counting to three, he wrenches himself free.
.
It failed. Bakugo screamed and lost all feeling in his arms. Vision blurred he sees dark claws appear as it closes in on Its sacrifice.
'What the hell is this place?! Am I really gonna die? Am I never going to be a pro hero?!'
.
Arms haul Bakugo from the hook. He stares incredulously at his rescuer. "You-"
"I don't know what world you're from but," Meg shook her head and smiled. "You can't be too reckless. Let me heal you."
Usually Katsuki would protest but he knows he can't now. So he accepts Meg's help.
.
Meg quickly gathers equipment from a med kit, joking about Bakugo's wild bravery.
'She's a lot like Kirishima…' Katsuki never thought he'd miss UA or his friends so much. Even Sero, Mina, and Denki.
"So, you know the killer?"
Hurled away from melancholy, Bakugo blinked. "Yeah. Her name is Toga Himiko or something. She's crazy. She's part of the League of Villains and has a powerful quirk."
"Quirk?"
"You know…like powers."
"Powers?" Meg's jaw dropped. "Do you mean that you have real-"
Dwight jogged towards them.
.
He limps, fixing his cracked glasses with a bloodied arm. "Hi g-guys. Jake is being chased by the killer. Let's find another generator."
"Sure. But you're injured."
"Y-Yeah. Could y-you heal me?"
.
"Wait." Katsuki lifts his arm in front of Meg. His glare scorches insightfully. Is sinister mischief glowing in Dwight's gaze?
He recalls what Jake had said and asked, "Who're the first survivors you started with?"
"What? You, me, Jake, and Meg."
"No, full names. You guys have been here the longest right? Who's the forth survivor that started with you three?"
.
Dwight laughed villainously. His face melts. Features of the disguise fall like shed snake skin.
Meg leaps in front of Katsuki and gets stabbed. Himiko's agility is unequaled! The survivor is downed, and Bakugo has no option but to run. If he gets injured, he wouldn't be much help to the others, or to Meg.
.
Dodging flying needles he rolls from the ruins zone into the storm zone. Under thunderous rainfall and violent gusts he loses Himiko.
Wheezing, he catches his breath. Bakugo's never felt so useless before. Why is he in the Entity's world? What happened to his quirk?
He's usually the one to blindly run into a battle!
.
Seeing a still generator, Bakugo regains his lost steadfastness. 'I ain't gonna lose!' He starts working on the generator. Every few seconds he turns his gaze, wary of an ambush. Bakugo can't see Himiko out in the gloomy rainfall.
.
Two generators are left. One is almost done. It's rattling like one of Hatsume's newest unstable inventions.
Dwight was sacrificed. Jake, Bakugo, and Meg are alive.
Meg is being chased.
.
She's sprinting around some boulders and a pallet. Meg had used her perks but time is running out. Himiko will catch up and attack.
Where else could she run?
Luckily Bakugo arrived. He crouched by the pallet, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
He tosses the pallet on Himiko when he saw Meg's muddy shoes run past.
.
"What? Are you blind dumbass?" Bakugo chuckled.
Himiko's cheerful smile is now an annoyed scowl. She breaks the pallet in a few kicks. "Where'd your quirk go? At least the Entity let me keep mine! You can't stop me!"
.
Katsuki runs. Looking over his shoulder, he guesses how many seconds until the killer would attack. He needs to buy time. Putting trees between them hardly hindered the slasher's search.
'I realized even as a survivor I can still fight!'
.
One generator's alarm rings. A knife dives towards Katsuki. He sharply turns, offering his own crazy grin. Flames coil up his arms to his hands. Orange-yellow explosions materialize like broken power lines. Bakugo's immune to its glaring light and ferocity but the slasher is launched across the mountain zone. He safely retreats towards a curling pathway down the zone back to the central plaza. So the Entity let him keep his quirk too.
.
Bakugo sees Jake opening a door and a wounded Meg.
"I stunned her with my quirk. But I'm sure she'll be following our tracks."
"It's good. Just shield us. The gate is almost open."
.
His heartbeat drums deafeningly again. The gate is unlocked slowly, the ancient rusty metal gears creaking noisily.
Toga ambushes them, aiming for Meg.
Everyone dashes to the exit. Bakugo grabs Meg by her arms and tosses her out of the arena. Katsuki is comically sent flying by a stab wound and lands safely into endlessly dreary woodland.
.
"Congrats man." Jake and Meg run alongside Bakugo. "Most new survivors don't live their first round."
"Thanks for saving me!" Meg glanced behind her and shuddered. "That killer is terrifying!"
Bakugo grinned proudly, ignoring the burning stab wound. "I'm the game changer! No slasher or villain is going to scare me! Are we free? Do we go back to our worlds?"
.
Jake and Meg's smiles drooped. "No. If survivors escape we run back to our camp. Those sacrificed to the Entity are tortured before they return."
"It's a long story…"
"We can't die. Even when sacrificed or mori'd. Death isn't really death here."
"The pain feels real enough." Jake scoffed.
"Survivors and slashers have to keep playing these tournaments. Otherwise the Entity's world –and us, will disappear.
"What?! Then how do we get back home?!"
"Don't know. That's what we're all trying to figure out."
.
"So what world do you come from?"
"What do you mean?"
"That girl, Himiko and you keep talking about quirks. Villains and heroes. In our worlds that's all comic book stuff."
"Yeah. Our traits get turned into perks but none of us have superpowers!"
"Seriously?!" Bakugo asked disbelievingly. It's been generations since his world had dramatically changed. He can't imagine what the world would be like if everybody was quirkless. "Most people have quirks –or what you guys call superpowers. But none are as great as mine or All Might's!"
.
Maybe being stranded in this world won't be horrible. Bakugo sees it as training. If he can win here and surpass these changes to his quirk, then when he gets back to his world, he'll be a number one hero for sure!
And these extras aren't so bad either. In fact, he thinks they're cool. He'll have awesome stories to tell when he arrives at the survivor camp.
