A/N : Hello everyone! It's nice to see you all again! I'm sorry that I took so long getting this up, but I'm in 2 AP classes, 5 clubs, and Marching Band, so my schedule is pretty whack. I'm grateful for all of you reading this far in my story, and I promise that Chapters 5 is done and 6 is underway. I'm sorry, but I'm a bad typist so It's hard to find time to actually type these things down without taking like a month. With that, I will try to update as soon as the stuff is done. Oh my goodness guys! I just saw season 4 of MHA and it is awesome! I literally can't praise it enough. Now, on to reviews;
rekiga0180 : Hey, it's you! Thanks for commenting this time as well. I'm glad that you are enjoying this and are gonna comment! Your comments always give me a smile when I look at your comments.
MIKE202303 : Hello again! I'm still confused like 3 months later what "Hmm" means, and that was part of the reason why I was kind of procrastinating as well, because I didn't want to write something that would make you leave the story and not look back. Anyways, thanks for commenting on this story, and I hope that you enjoy this.

Izuku sighed, looking into the black-rimmed white eyes of his mask. Today was definitely not the right day for this to happen, he thought, before getting up and pulling the red mask on as he did. Izuku looked at his reflection in the locker room mirror, the sight being almost foreign to him. He was in a skintight red spandex suit, the thickness thereof being akin to the average sock, a blue sleeveless hoodie bearing a large black spider insignia on its center. Tucking the edge of the mask under the suit, Izuku testingly squinted his eyes, watching as he saw the mask mimic him perfectly.
Smiling under the mask, Izuku clipped on his protective bracelets, placing both onto his web shooters. Pulling up the hoodie's rim, Izuku double-checked his utility belt, before he walked out of the boy's locker room, turning left into the tunnel to Ground Beta, taking it at a run.
Coming into the light, Izuku saw a robotic-looking knight, taking the time to notice the engines on his legs, a person wearing a combat boots and a dark gray Kevlar body suit, Harry, I guess, as well as some others who looked fairly simplistic, and before he could really look any closer, a voice interrupted his assessment.
"Zuku? Is that you?" Ochako asked from beside him. Turning, Izuku nodded, before laying his eyes on her. She was wearing a skintight black and pink spandex suit and a pink belt with a darker glass center on her waist. "Woah! How'd your eyes do that?"
Blushing slightly, Izuku forced his eyes back to their normal parameters. "I - I, uh, ahem." He cleared his throat loudly. "I asked for sensors in the mask to move the mask with my face."
"But . . . wh- you know what, I'm not gonna do you have a mask anyways?" Harry asked while turning, showing him his green, high altitude mask. "I mean, I need mine for my flights, but you . . ."
"I don't want for any villains to find out my identity and attack my loved ones, or even civilians, just to get my attention, Besides," under the mask Izuku grinned largely," this way, I can be mysterious and get all the girls."
"YOU ALL LOOK LIKE TRUE HEROES!" All Might declared before pulling out some notes. "SO, AS I STATED IN THE CLASSROOM, WE'RE CONDUCTING MOCK-BATTLE TRIALS."
"Sir, are we conducting outdoor trials, similar to the Entrance Exam?" Iida's voice echoed from within the suit of robot/armor. What the . . . you know what, I'm gonna stop thinking now.
"NO!" All Might cried, wagging a finger at Iida. "ALTHOUGH ALL THE FIGHTS YOU SEE ON TELEVISION OR IN REAL-LIFE ARE OUTDOORS, THE MAJORITY OF THE SMART VILLAINS WILL HAVE A LAIR OR HIDING PLACE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. DEALING IN DRUG DEALS, HOSTAGE SITUATIONS, AND THE LIKE. TODAY WILL BE ONE SUCH EXAMPLE." Peering closely at the notes, All Might read off, "THE SITUATION IS THAT THERE ARE TWO TEAMS OF TWO. ONE TEAM, THE VILLAIN TEAM, IS HOLDING A NUCLEAR WEAPON IN THEIR HIDING SPOT. THE HERO TEAM WILL HAVE TO EITHER DISARM THE BOMB, OR CAPTURE THE TWO VILLAINS IN ORDER TO WIN. HOWEVER, IF THE VILLAINS ARE NOT CAPTURED OR THE DEVICE NOT SECURED WITHIN THE FIFTEEN MINUTE TIME LIMIT, THE VILLAINS WIN."
All Might put his notes away. "ANY QUESTIONS? NO? ALRIGHT THEN! TEAM A IS KATSUKI BAKUGO AND HARRY OSBORNE." Harry looked to Katsuki, a single bead of sweat running its course down his face. Katsuki, however, just grunted, not minding the idea of 'Rich Boy' being on his team. "TEAM B IS TENYA IIDA AND MOMO YAOYOROZU . . ." Izuku's mind wandered slightly as All Might spoke, remaining so until All Might said, " TEAM J IS IZUKU AIZAWA AND OCHAKO URARAKA."
Izuku looked over to his new teammate, who was bouncing up and down on the balls of her feet. "Looks like it's destiny!" She exclaimed, giving him a quick smile before turning to All Might.
"THE TEAMS ARE TEAM A AS THE HEROES, AND TEAM J AS THE VILLAINS. YOU EACH WILL RECEIVE A ROLL OF CAPTURE TAPE, AND A BLUEPRINT OF THE BUILDING, ALONG WITH 5 MINUTES TO PLAN FOR THE COMING BATTLE. BREAK!" All Might sprinted into the building next to the labeled building. Slower, Izuku and Ochako walked into the building.

"Listen up Rich Boy!" Katsuki barked out. "Where'd Deku get that damned quirk?!" Where'd he get off, hiding such a flashy quirk? Damn nerd! Katsuki had wanted to ask for a while actually, ever since the whole quirk assessment affair, but had been unable to ask until now.
"Quirk? His 'quirk' is really just a genetic shift at the cellu-"
"Deku doesn't have a quirk?" Katsuki interrupted, calmer now that he knew that the nerd hadn't held something back from him. Harry simply nodded. "Tell me, what is this mutation, and what are his combat capabilities?" He asked, leaning casually against the wall, fingers pressed together over his mouth.
"Um, it's just a genetic mutation caused by a spider bite. The mutation allows for him to have the abilities of a spider. He can lift around 3 tons, stick to walls, and run faster than a car at 50 miles per hour." Harry paused for a moment, thinking deeply, before saying, "He's also very flexible and always seems to know what's gonna happen a second before it does. That's about it."
"I see." Katsuki's eyebrows scrunched together, deep in thought for a couple minutes, before they were forced into their regular places. "Alright, here's what we'll do. . ."

"Ready Ochako?" Izuku asked as they finished placing the bomb in the room of their choice, a room directly in the middle of the building with a single entrance and no windows.
"You know it! Zuku let's do our best!" Ochako's eyes blazed with the fiery passion of determination as she spoke, clenching her fist and punching the air a show of that passion.
"Alright! Let's do this Ochako!" Suddenly, All Might's voice boomed into their ears over the headsets.
"VILLAIN TEAM, ARE YOU READY?"
"Yes sir!" They cried, tapping their earpieces almost in unison.
"HERO TEAM, ARE YOU READY?" There was a moment of silence, before All Might cried, "VERY WELL, BEGIN!"
Nodding to Ochako, Izuku left the room first, followed by Ochako before turning around and using a full cartridge of his web fluid to keep the Assaulters busy with their objective, giving them time to spare. Izuku crawled along the wall, heading down as Ochako followed at a distance. Before long, Izuku heard Harry. "So far so good Katsuki. Do you think that they'll make their last stand at the bomb?"
"Deku'd have to be an idiot to do that. One of us could easily reach the bomb with a distraction, so I don't think he'll do that. Damn nerd is many things, but he isn't an idiot," Katsuki stated firmly.
Izuku turned the corner, just as Katsuki and Harry entered his vision. Unfortunately, both of them looked around every corner, but never the roof, and this would come back to bite them. Izuku made sure to stay still for several seconds until they were directly under him. Suddenly, he dropped himself onto Harry's shoulders,before doing a front flip, his feet carrying Harry along his route, hitting the ground with a loud thud. "Aw, did the itsy-bitsy spider bite you?" Izuku asked mockingly, leaning down to his ear while Katsuki stood there for a moment, looking at him without blinking before attacking.
Spidey-sense, yep, he thought as he ducked under Katsuki's right hook. Spidey-sense 2 : Electric Boogaloo. Izuku rolled forward, jabbing quickly, before jumping over Katsuki's explosion onto the ceiling. "Wow Katsuki, I actually thought that you had skills for a long time. I think I know your hero name! Stormtrooper!" Izuku attempted to flip Katsuki as he had Harry.
Just as he began the move, standing on the shoulders, Katsuki reached up and blasted Izuku's ankles, before grabbing him and throwing him a couple meters away. "Trying to make me mad Deku? Well, just like you, it's useless!"
Spidey-sense #3, I get it, I get it, I get it! Most people would love an internal warning alarm, but Izuku hated it sometimes, as the thing wouldn't ever shu- *CLICK* Both boys looked down to Katsuki's left grenade gauntlet, one grinning madly and the other felt a loud alarm going off in his head.
"You're good at avoiding things, right Deku?" Katsuki asked, lifting his gauntlet. "Well, if the support company made these just like I designed, you're gonna need it!"
"BAKUGO, NO!" All Might yelled through the intercom. "YOU'LL KILL HIM!"
"He won't die if he dodges!" Katsuki yelled, pulling the pin. What followed was a resounding boom, so loud that it shook the foundations of the building. Izuku ran back, sticking his hand on the inside wall of a room, just narrowly avoiding the blast as he pulled himself in. Pausing, Izuku saw the absolute devastation. The once pearly white room was now scorched black, with many tiles being uprooted, and a gaping hole in the wall, making Izuku gulp as he imagined his possible future as a corpse..
"YOUNG BAKUGO, I REFUSE TO ALLOW YOU TO PERFORM THAT MOVE AGAIN! tHAT COULD'VE TRIGGERED A MAJOR COLLAPSE, RUINING THE CHANCES YOU HAD TO CAPTURE ANYTHING, AND HARMING BOTH YOUR PARTNER AND THE VILLAINS!" All Might stated firmly, over the earpieces now, as the intercom was destroyed by the massive wave of destruction.

Katsuki grimaced after All Might's rebuke. "Tch, fine." He began to walk towards where Izuku was hiding, when he heard a quiet shuffle behind him. Listening for a moment, Katsuki kept walking, albeit more slowly, when his instincts told him to turn. He did so, and grabbed Ochako's wrist before she could touch him. "Too bad Round Face!" He pulled her to the side harshly, before flipping her over his shoulder.
"Oof!" She grunted loudly as she made contact with the floor, before attempting to get up again. Katsuki however had different plans, grabbing her wrist and pulling her toward him before punching her in the face.
"Stay down Round Face, this is between Deku and I." At his words, Izuku appeared behind Katsuki, who jumped away as soon as the presence behind him was made known. "Now you show up, you damn nerd!"
Seemingly unaware of his presence, Izuku helped Ochako up. "You okay Ochako?" She simply nodded, wiping her lip with the back of her hand. "You ready to help take out the trash?" Izuku asked, turning to Katsuki finally, although Katsuki balked at the idea.
"Do you even need to ask?" She got into a fighting position beside him. Together, almost in sync, they charged. Izuku threw a wide punch towards him, and Katsuki ducked under it, but before he could capitalize on the wide swing, Ochako jumped forward, rushing him and forcing him to jump back. Suddenly, a string of web pulled him back towards the two. Explosions bursting in his palm, he pushed himself forward, rushing Izuku.
Izuku ducked lowly, as Katsuku flew over him, not counting on Katsuki stopping himself in midair and punching the back of his neck. "Katsuki, come in!" Katsuku heard from his earpiece.
"What?" He snapped quickly, ducking under Ochako's slap, before slapping her arm away. He flipped her, before Izuku punched him hard, making him fly into a wall.
"Um, they've webbed up the room, and I can't get through with my incendiary grenades without harming the bomb." Katsuki growled, ducking under Izuku's follow-up punch.
"Have you tried cutting it?"

"Have you tried cutting it?" Harry looked around.
"You could say that." He was currently stuck in the web from when he tried to use his gauntlet knives. I probably could've gone about this better, he realized as he looked at his machete, stuck as well. "I'll probably need some help."
X X X
"Well, I'm busy!" Izuku heard Katsuki mutter angrily as he dodged the newest punch. Ochako rushed at him from the side, finally landing a solid slap on Katsuki. She had finally trapped him, so Izuku took advantage and wrapped Katsuki in his webs, cocooning the boy until there was no chance of escape.
"VILLAIN TEAM WINS!" All Might declared as Ochako released Katsuki from her power. "COME BACK TO BASE!"

20 minutes later, after the webs had all dissolved, they stood in front of their entire class. "Congratulations again Villain team! Now," All Might turned to the class, "who wants to guess who the MVP of this match is?"
Several moments of silence passed, before the girl from the quirk assessment test raised her hand. "I believe that the MVP is Ai- Izuku. Bakugo was intelligent and separated the villains from their lair, as well as distracting them, but he overestimated his power, and put the mission in jeopardy. Osborne performed his part of the plan perfectly, but didn't realize that the web couldn't be cut, although he did realize that throwing an incendiary grenade would be folly. Uraraka did well, enabling Katsuki to be captured and being the perfect person sneak up as she doesn't have the offensive quirk needed for an all-out assault, but she had a nasty habit of being a little too loud, which ruined her chance at a sneak attack. Izuku however was able to hold off Bakugo until Uraraka had the ability to join the fight, as well as being the master strategist in the fight."
All Might stood still for a moment before smiling. "VERY GOOD! THAT WAS MY ANSWER AS WELL, BUT I WOULD ADD THAT EVERYONE DID WELL IN THEIR OWN WAY. KATSUKI HELD OFF BOTH THE VILLAINS FOR A WHILE, OSBORNE STEALTHILY MADE IT PAST URARAKA, AND URARAKA SUCCESSFULLY HELPED TO OVERWHELM THE REMAINING HERO." All Might turned to everyone with a large grin. "ALRIGHT, NOW IT'S TEAM B AGAINST TEAM D! GOOD LUCK!"
A/N : I hope that this was a good chapter! I made sure to make this one a little long to appease the masses. So, I want to explain why Katsuki didn't freak out like he did in the series. I believe that part of the thing that annoyed Katsuki was that he believed that Izuku had patronized him and stroked his ego by pretending to be quirkless. Another reason was that he believed that Izuku didn't put his all into the fight, meaning that he was able to be satisfied that Izuku tried his best during the fight, since his quirk is now a mutation, not an emitter, passively helping him.
Anyway, I'm glad you made it this far, and I hope that you will continue reading. Comment below with any constructive criticisms, questions, and comments you have. See you next time.
