Thanks to the Guest who reviewed, I didn't know that about rubber bullets, you learned something new every day! I will be making changes from that, so thanks!
In my mind, Uraraka has a shit ton of potentail. She mastered some martial arts in a week, enough to use it against a villian that could go toe to toe with Aizawa of all people and put up a great fight agaisnt Bakugo of all people. She got tenth place in the Quirk Assesments! In my story she has a natural athleticism when challenged properly and is a natural at martial arts with direction and guidance.
It was during a reread of the last chapter that I realized Izuku looks sort of like Daredevil, and fights a little like him... total accident but a good one, I love Dardevil!
fencer29 gave me a great idea for something and I will be including it so thank you for that my friend.
Bakugo was willing to kill Izuku in the combat thing they did, that blast destroyed part of a building, if it hit him he would have died or been permantly damaged. Why was there no consequences for that? Even a glancing blow could have been fatal, he could have lost limbs or eyes or the sound could have damaged his hearing...

"Bakugo! Come in! Give me a status report. Where are you?" Iida called through his earpiece, having heard the first explosion.
"Just shut up and defend the weapon. I've got more important things to worry about," Bakugo replied before switching off his earpiece, the clicking sound pissing Iida off.
"Are you forgetting what our mission is? Hello? He hung up on me! This isn't the time for radio silence. We're supposed to be partners. Argh!" Iida yells, frustrated. "I've sparred with Izuku, he is scary good at combat. He disected my entire style in seconds and made more then thirty plans to beat me, he actually told me them and had me try and work around them and I still lost. I'm faster then him, four inches taller and have a good fifty pounds of muscle on him and he still beat me. Don't be stupid Bakugo, we will lose if you keep this up!"
Iida sighed then, turning to the doorway, readying himself for someone to come. Bakugo would lose, that was clear to him... it was up to him to win this. He had no other choice...

"Hey, who's Bakugo talking to? I'm not hearing anything. Can we get any sound with this video?" Kirishima asks.
"He's got a radio in his ear so he can talk to his partner. I gave it to him before the match started. Along with the map of the building. Also this. A roll of capture tape! Wrapping this around your opponent means you've apprehended them, and they're out for the rest of the game," All Might informs them showing them the capture tape.
"So there's a 15-minute time limit, and the good guys have no idea what floor the nuclear weapon is hidden on, right?" Ashido asked as a timer with 13 minutes left on it is seen.
"Correct!" All Might replies.
"Then the heroes are clearly at a disadvantage here. A big one!" Ashido points out.
Nezu made a sound the back of his throat. " That is how the real world works, we can rarely kill or seriously injury villians so we are almost always at a disadvantage. That is simply how it works, that is why you are training so hard, to minimize that advantage... now, watch closely. I shouldn't put one student over another, but you all need to learn from Izuku. Intellectually he is the most advanced student we've had here at U.A., he will show you how to overcome that disadvantage, just as he has overcome his lack of a quirk. Learn from him and you too will become incredible, I know young Asui has see this, she can confirm what I am saying."
The girl nodded. "He showed me some Judo yesterday, and some Parkour, showing me how to better take advantage of my quirk just from watching me during the assesment. Honestly with one lesson I picked up more then a year of my own training, not an exaggaration in the slighest. He is that good. Actually, Hagakure, he wanted you to come down to our stuff today, he was worried about you."
"Huh, why me?"
"Your naked right now, sort of out of shape. You in the most danger of elemental attacks and physical damage, With training and a better costume you could be safer. He wanted to introduce you to Powerloader and a girl named Mei to make you a better outfit and maybe some weaponry."
Nezu beamed. " An excellent idea, I would take up that suggestion My girl, it may save your life."
He could almost feel Hagakure's grin. " Yessir!"
'''''
"Uraraka! Go! Be smart and put Iida down." Deku yelled as Bakugo charged him, the nerd blocking a harsh kick to his chest.
"Ballsy move. Think you can take me alone? You got lucky before, but you will never win, nerd!" Bakugo taunts, only to feel a sharp grip on his ankle that yanked him forward only for the nerd to slam another kick to his chest, hard enough that Bakugo felt a rib crack. He didn't fly back though, instead the nerd turned his leg inward and slammed his fist into the back of Bakugo's knee.
The Explosive boy screamed as genuine agony overpowered his rage and adrenaline. Nothing had ever hurt this much, not even when he accidentally dislocated his shoulder when his first big blast. How was it that the nerd of all people put him in that kind of pain?
"I'm a blackbelt you idiot, I went toe to toe with a master like Midnight, you don't stand a chance."
Bakugo had no idea what happened next only that he was slammed into the ground, chest first which radiated to his broken nose and made his cracked ribs scream in despair. His arms were yanked around, his wrists turned to the side and, in a flash of more agony, dislocated entirely. He screamed and felt the actual desire to murder Deku, when he felt the capture tape wrapped around his wrists.
He wanted to do something, anything, but before he could he heard All Might's voice over the intercoms. "Young Bakugo has been captured, he is out. Come to the Screening room, your injuries will need tending too."
Bakugo would have said something, anything against that stupid order, but then he felt it... heard it... his gauntlets were full of his sweat, filled from the sweating he did in the fight...
He knew what he had to do, he twisted his dislocated wrists, grabbed onto the pull switch...
And created the biggest explosion he could, aiming it directly at Deku.
""'' During the Fight"""
"The little guy's really good!" Sato said.
"He beat Bakugo so easily, it's like he planned this!" Sero gaped.
Nezu laughed. "That is because he probably has, the boys went to school together and he is familar with how Bakugo's style works but the otherway around is not true. Young Izuku has broken several records in Judo before he even attended school, getting a blackbelt in just ten months, actually it was enough that several heroes have called me asking to train him. Gunhead, Mirko and Fatgum are just a few of them, and no I am not exaggarating, I recieved this requests just this morning, Midnight sent the boy's records to a few agencies and a recording of their training sessions yesterday. Not everyone is so biased agaisnt a lack of Quirks it seems." He hummed with pride, not just for Izuku but for those who did not let bias stop their desire to train someone. It was a rarity and he would swore to do something nice for each one of them... maybe a job offer! Oh he did need to incorporate classes for Quirkless combat, maybe he could get someone... Gunhead was a master martial artist... hmm...
"Um, sir." He turned to Asui. "Isn't that too private to reveal? I mean Izuku's offers?"
"Normally you'd be right, and I would be a shame of an educator to reveal it, however legally internships are public records as to monitor progress. You would have been informed in class or could have looked it up. As for why I revealed this, I wanted to showcase that hardwork is rewarded here and to encourage you all to show case your potential as Izuku has done."
The girl nodded. " I see... thank you for explaining."
"Not an issue." They all turned back to the screens, just in time to watch Izuku easily overpower Bakugo using advanced Judo and powerful strikes. They all watched with bated breathe as Izuku dislocated Bakugo's wrists. "A wise choice, Bakugo's hands are where his power is, but that is going overboard, I will speak to him about it later. Students, I expect more restraint in the future. This is the first battle and there is history there, leniency is needed but you must be very careful... are we clear?"
Everyone nodded... and All Might said into the Loudspeakers. "Young Bakugo has been captured, he is out. Come to the Screening room, your injuries will need tending too."
Then, as if in response to All Might's words, a massive explosion rocked the arena... and nearly knocked them all down.
And Izuku was caught in direct path of it.
No one, not even Nezu, saw All Might blur away, faster then fast, desperate to save the young boy who may have very well been killed...
"""With Uraraka during the fight"""
'Found it. Now I just have to tell Izuku. He said to take out Iida, but can I? He is so fast, I am not sure I can take him out, he is my natural enemy,... a speedster!' Uraraka thinks to herself.
"Bakugo definitely has a villainous side. And that's exactly what we need to succeed in this mission. I need to temporarily devote myself to criminal intent. Yes. I won't fail this trial and risk bringing shame down on the Iida family name. That means I must now embrace evil to become a hero! Behold I am the personification of villainy!" Iida says talking to himself before breaking out into an evil laugh.
'He's so serious,' Uraraka thinks as she laughs at Iida.
"Hm? Uraraka is that you?" Iida says after hearing her laugh.
"Uh," Uraraka says before walking out from her hiding spot nervously.
"I knew you would come here alone the instant that Bakugo ran off by himself and engaged with Midoriya. Your quirk allows you to float anything that you touch, but I've prepared for that. By hiding every object in this room so you have nothing to use against me, do-gooder! My dastardly tricks have rendered you helpless! You've blundered, hero!" Iida says, before doing his evil laugh again.
"He really is playing the part," Uraraka says before All Might's voice echoed over the loudspeakers.
"Young Bakugo has been captured, he is out. Come to the Screening room, your injuries will need tending too."
"ALL RIGHT, GO IZUKU!" She crowed but before she could move, an explosion rocked them both, and a horrible feeling exploded in her chest.
"""
All Might ran through the smoke, through the hole Bakugo had created in the building, and almost vomited in utter horror at the sight before him.
Young Izuku was imprinted onto a wall, his entire body covered in horrific burns that would no doubt scar. His nose was broken, his cheeks possibly shattered, teeth on the floor before him, his eyes swollen shut, his cap gone some of his hair burned...
The worst part was the piece of rebar sticking through his stomach...
He was the literal victim of a bomb, sans shrapnel...
It took everything to not panic, though seeing a groaning, excited Bakugo slowly rising from the ash and rubble covered ground. "You are expelled Bakugo, go to the monitoring room... charges may be filed agaisnt you." The words were hallow as he approached the injured boy, gently severing one end of the rebar so he could grab Midoriya up.
He didn't bother to even look at Bakugo, too busy flying through the air at great but gentle speeds, desperate to save the life of the boy he had personally failed so badly...
A boy who may very well die, even with Chiyo's aid...
"""
"Bakugo. Answer me! What is going on down there? Did you cause that blast?" Iida says, trying to get his partner to respond to him, a rush of fear awash in his body. Something wasn't right.
The voice of Nezu echoed over the loudspeakers. "The test is over, come to the monitoring room now. Bakugo, here now."
Dread overtook Iida and he pulled his helmet off, turning to Uraraka. "What do you think happened?"
"I think I might have to kill Bakugo if he did what I think he did... he was beaten and he still set off an explosion." Her tone was cold, and it scared Iida but he got her point. "I think Izuku might have been hurt, that explosion moved the entire building. Quirk or no, that would do damage to anyone... I'm scared."
Iida put a hand on her shoulder as they walked. "I hope he is okay...I pray you are wrong."
"So do I, Iida... so do I."
"""
Nezu's fur bristled as he saw Bakugo, it took everything not to beat the boy bloody, to bite him all over and leave him to wallow. "Izuku's life is in danger, you let off an explosion strong enough to rock an entire building... I stand by All Might's stance, you are expelled. You will be patched up at the Hospital and you are not to come back. Remove your gauntlets."
The boy just looked at him, stunned. "He... he broke my nose, dislocated my wrists, fired rubber bullets at me, how is that not going too far?"
"He will be disciplined for this wrist parts.. I already planned on it however it was also a viable strategy that minimized the destructive power of your blasts... as for the Rubber bullets, these are not the ones you are thinking of. Regular rubber bullets are not meant to be fired at people, they are meant to bounce off fo objects. These ones are designed for hitting people not unlike a paintball gun or even a bb gun... you tried to kill him, plain and simple."
The boy slumped. "I wasn't trying to kill him, just... hurt him badly."
"You fired an explosion strong enough to punch a hole through a building at person, directly. You regular explosions destroyed robots, what did you think would happen?" Nezu calmed himself, barely, with a few breathes. "You will be lucky if I choose not to file charges against you... Students, I am calling Aizawa to finish this test, but Bakugo will follow me to my Office. I can treat his basic wounds there... You will behave or we will lose more students today, are we clear?"
The fear in the students eyes told him what he needed to hear and so they were off, on their way to his office where the fate of two boys were on the line.
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
I have plans for Bakugo, a lot of them...
I have this day off and I am inspired, so expect extra chapters...
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
