Crimson Strength from Two Hero Souls
"(Izuku, what you just said was like you made a declaration of war was so COOL!)" Leo thought smirked as he jumps at Katsuki to attack.
Katsuki felt his instincts were warning him of something coming to attack him from behind which made him turn around immediately to launch an explosion against the blue scooper, but that didn't push Leo back as he kept pushing forward and threw another arm at him.
"Try having a taste your own medicine!" Leo shouted as the green screwdriver was transformed into an exploding spinning iron rod.
The rod made contact to the face of the exploding young man's face which barely fazed him though he doesn't feel it thinking this guy would try to copy him, but that left him as a distraction when Izuku came in with a swing kick to the stomach knocking him on the stomach.
But that keep Katsuki down as he immediately recovered from the attack with an explosive jump throwing a rolling exploded strike between the two, Leo and Izuku were barely able to defend themselves from that attack as they were pushed away.
"Are you okay?" Ochaco asked worry for her teammates.
"Don't worry, my armor can keep me safe from harm." Leo assured.
"Bakugo, come in! Give me a statue update. Where are you?" Tenya asked through the earpiece on Katsuki's ear.
"Just shut up and defend the weapon. I got more important things to worry about." Katsuki yelled at his teammate and went to looking at Deku again.
"(That must be Iida he's talking about, at least that shows they aren't working together.)" Izuku thought.
(With Tenya)
"Are you forgetting what our mission is? Hello, hello?" Tenya asked only not getting a single response from Katsuki. While standing close to the fake weapon as he is on guard duty.
"He hung up on me? This isn't the time for radio silence, we're supposed to be partners!" Tenya said upset at this.
(Monitoring Room)
"Hey, who's Bakugo talking to? I'm not hearing anything." Eijiro noticed.
"I think the villain team have communication to check on each other." Luna believed, though know that Katsuki isn't really being the team player right now.
"Good insight, he's got a radio in his ear so he can talk to his partner. I gave it to him and Young Iida before the match startd, along with a map of the building." All Might tapped on the earpiece in his left ear.
"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 explained showing the 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?" Mina asked.
"Correct." All Might nodded.
"Then the heroes are clearly at a disadvantage here. A big one." Mina stated.
"Yusei also that he would also face those odds on a daily basis after graduating from UA and saw how the other heroes would struggle against those odds too." Luna mentioned.
"Yes, that's life. Even when the odds aren't in our favor, we fight!" All Might believed strong.
"All together now… Let's hear a Plus Ultra!" All Might and the students shouted the motto.
"Monsieur, he's on the move." Yuga alerted as everyone turn their attention back to the screen.
(Back with the Hero Team vs Katsuki)
Katsuki turns his sight on Deku since he wanted to beat him the most than the two extras as he blasts charge at him fast throwing a kick, Izuku was able to block that in time.
"Listen Ochaco, you go and find the bomb. Me and Deku will keep this guy busy." Leo said.
"But are you sure?" Ochack asked worry.
"Don't worry, we got this. Now go!" Leo yelled.
Ochaco thought about this for a bit and think those two can handle Katsuki together believing they may have a chance; she nods at Leo and runs away to go find the bomb.
"Ballsy move, think the two of you can actually take me?" Katsuki asked.
"We'll just have to see about that!" Leo charged in and swung his tail at Katsuki who blocks it with his gauntlet.
Katsuki smirks starting to think this could be a good challenge to crush with his mighty though when he looks back at Deku, he notices something wrap around his leg and realize what that is.
"(He's using the capture tape!)" Katsuki thought shocked.
"(Hero Notebook number 10, page 18! Luckily, I got to see Eraser Head's moves in action!)" Izuku thought recalled seeing Aizawa's way of using his scarf on Katsuki yesterday.
"(What will Kacchan do now? Knowing him, he'll be impatient and try another big punch!)" Izuku thought of Katsuki will do.
"Leo, shield me!" Izuku called out.
Leo immediately responded throwing his right arm forward between the former childhood friends to block the explosive punch much to Katsuki's surprise.
"(Knew it!)" Izuku thought as he grabs Katsuki's leg and throwing him down the hallway with the small enhance strength of One for All.
(Monitoring Room)
"Those two are amazing!" Rikido surprised.
"Yeah, they're holding their own against Bakugo like they're barely using their Quirks!" Hanta amazed.
"I guess he must have done a lot of teamwork training with you since twins do like working together. Ribbit." Tsuyu said.
"Good guess, we have been training together in using our Quirks and fighting together from our big brother though Leo likes to be a bit of a showoff." Luna explained.
"Though I am worried that Katsuki being this prideful, seems like this was fueled by those who end up giving him praises for being arrogant for having a powerful Quirk." Luna worried a little.
"(Young Midoriya told me about this too, hopefully he and Young Leo will fend well against them.)" All Might thought remembered.
(Back at the Fight)
Leo charges at Katsuki again with Izuku right behind him as the exploding boy quickly got back up and blasted himself up to the ceiling, he propels himself down like a human rock for an axe-kick on the golden armored boy's back forcing him on the knees and launch at Deku.
"Hope you're ready for a beating, Deku!" Katsuki shouted in rage.
Izuku quickly on the defensive dodge some of Katsuki's exploding strikes and blocking some of his kicks and punches, the green-haired boy charge forward having dodge another attack and punch him in the stomach though Katsuki also threw a kick on the face before being sent flying.
"It looks like Kacchan is trying to be unpredictable since I was able to see through his moves." Izuku noticed this.
Katsuki got back up glaring at the damn nerd for predicting his moves again, he always knew Deku was smart and now he is feeling that dumb smartass being used against him in this combat match, not like how he thought this would go.
"Don't think you don't get me down, Deku! I'm still far stronger than you and you're going to be destroy by that. But not dead in a way!" Katsuki growled.
"You really like hearing yourself talk!" Leo slammed his shovel tail onto Katsuki's head causing him to stun.
"You're starting to piss me off now, you Gadget Dragon!" Katsuki throws his head up to get that tail.
But that was immediately met with a punch to the face from the blue scooper and he flew off by Izuku's side.
"We need a plan now." Leo said.
"I think for now we should retreat and hide for a bit to throw him off." Izuku suggested.
"Okay, let's go! Hope Ochaco will find the bomb too." Leo said and the two ran off to hide.
"Hey! Get back here, you cowards! I'm not here beating the Hell out of you!" Katsuki shouted as he tries to run after them.
But suddenly a little object is flown in front of his face and the object flashes a bright light at his eyes causing him to scream in surprise, he has got blind for just a moment which was plenty of time for the two heroes to get away further.
Katsuki growls that he fell into the trap making a fool of the guy.
"DAMN IT?!" Katsuki shouted in rage.
Leo and Izuku are seen hiding behind a corner of a hallway, panting from all that running though they were able to calm down and Leo checked that they were in the clear.
"Okay, I don't think he followed us. Good thing I packed a flashlight and timer putting them together." Leo said.
"Yeah, quick thinking there though you were in a rush." Izuku pointed out.
"Can you blame me, I had to do something to make sure he doesn't follow us." Leo said.
"Anyway, we'll need a plan like I said earlier." Leo mentioned again.
"Well, all I can think of is keeping Kacchan here which is working great for Uraraka to go find the weapon and where Iida is. We'll fight Kacchan and have him restrained with the capture tape then go up to meet with her and face Iida together." Izuku explained the plan.
"Sounds good and all, but he's not going to make that easy for us with his fast movements." Leo pointed out.
"Do you have anything you can use to make keep him from moving that much?" Izuku asked.
"Let me see." Leo looked into the chest of the armor pulling out a few objects.
"I have a taser, some steel strings, and a dart gun." Leo said which surprises Izuku.
"Wow, you really do come prepared!" Izuku amazed.
"Not really, I just have a feeling. That's all." Leo shrugged and started using Gears Combo to combine the three objects into a new gun which he puts it on his left arm replacing the rod.
"Okay, this should help us with your request." Leo believed.
"Umm, Deku, Leo?" Ochaco contacted them on their communication.
"Ochaco, you're okay!" Leo smiled.
"That's great! How's is going?" Izuku asked, also relieved.
"Iida knows that I'm here. Sorry. Right now, he's monologuing." Ochaco informed.
"Monologuing? Didn't think Iida would be into something like that." Leo surprised.
"Where are you?" Izuku asked.
"Near the middle of the fifth floor." Ochaco answered.
"Right above us." Izuku looked up at the ceiling.
"That's awesome, that means we can just go up there and help Ochaco take down Iida and win this match!" Leo smirked.
"Except we will have Kacchan to deal with." Izuku reminded him.
"Oh, yeah." Leo sighed.
"We may not have much time left, we have to finish this quickly by capturing Kacchan!" Izuku determined.
"Oh yeah, let's go this!" Leo excited.
Then they heard a loud ding sound coming from behind them as they quickly turn to see Katsuki has found them.
"I'm all loaded up." Katsuki said, confusing the two.
"I'll admit, you two are so annoying that I'm starting to think it's awesome to push me to a corner." Katsuki said before smirking.
"But don't go underestimating me because now the real show it's about to begin." Katsuki proclaimed.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Leo wondered.
"What you're about to do, just know I'm not scared of you anymore." Izuku declared strongly. This made Katsuki angry a little, but he then grins.
"Since you're such a stalker, by now you probably know how my Quirk, Explosion works. I secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from my hands and make it blow up. Imagine what I could do if I had a lot of it." Katsuki explained about his Quirk.
"(He's talking about his Quirk now, which means those gauntlets are more than to make his costume look good.)" Leo thought feared as he looks at Katsuki's gauntlet now with a pin.
"So, you notice that my gauntlets aren't just for now." Katsuki smirked at Leo.
"They've been storing up my sweat inside for one monster blast." Katsuki revealed shocking the two.
"Uh-Oh, I don't like the sound of that." Leo gulped in fear.
"Same here." Izuku agreed, seeing Katsuki aiming his gauntlet at the two and ready to pull the pin.
(Monitoring Room)
"That looks dangerous!" Luna feared of what's about to happen next as All Might feel the same way.
"Young Bakugo! Don't do it, you'll kill them!" All Might tried to get the boy to stop, but it doesn't seem like he's listening much.
(Back at the Combat Training)
"They'll be fine as long as they dodge!" Katsuki stated, grinning evilly.
Katsuki pulls the pin unleashing the giant explosive blast right at the two as they become frozen in fear though that was instantly washed away with something else inside, something that is telling the two boys to stand strong and face this massive attack head on while their hearts are beating faster at the exact same time like in perfect sync.
Both boys clutch their fists and stare through the explosive blast as if they were looking straight at Katsuki instead.
"Bring it on!" Leo and Izuku yelled at the same time.
The huge explosion causes the whole building to shake rapidly for a few seconds as this got everyone to worry of how powerful that attack Katsuki just unleashed.
Katsuki chuckles of how thrilling and surprise the explosion was than he had thought as the more sweats stored in his gauntlets, the stronger his attacks are as this can help with the strains caused from overusing his Quirk.
"Alright to see, huh…?" Katsuki confused with his eyes widen of shock.
Much to his shock, and the entire classes' surprise along with All Might equally shocked, they see that both Izuku and Leo are still standing on the same spot, but that is not the strangest part they have seen.
"Damn, that was intense." Leo said.
"I know, he thought of making his explosives useful in long-range." Izuku commented.
The strangest part aside from them barely having a single scratch on them, just several little burn marks on their bodies with Leo's costume jut torn on the right shoulder and the blue scooper is gone while Izuku's the sleeve of his left arm destroyed from the blast, they are surrounded by the strange red dragon aura that appeared to them again just like before.
"What the fuck?" Katsuki shocked.
"Izuku, it's this power again." Leo alerted.
"I didn't think it would come out again after I failed to try bringing it out during my training, but now one of my theories is true. That only when we're together can this power come forth." Izuku said now understanding this.
"My brother Yusei said much the same thing, and now I feel stronger too." Leo noticed his body is overflowing with power.
"Hey, what the fuck is going on here? What is that?" Katsuki tried to think of something that made sense in this. A trick by one of them, but he knew better that this is too real.
"Come on, Izuku! We still have a chance to win this, more than ever now!" Leo believed.
"Yeah, you're right! Let put out his flame!" Izuku nodded.
(Monitoring Room)
"What's going on with them?" Momo confused.
"Do you know what's up with that?" Shoto asked Luna.
"To be honest, my big brother doesn't know about this either when he was informed about that. We just know it's some kind of strange power that only comes out when Leo and Izuku are together." Luna explained from little she knows.
"Oh man, that's like something from fairy tales of awesomeness!" Denki amazed with his eyes sparkling like stars.
"(So, that's the strangeness Young Midoriya told me about. Come to think of it, I feel like I heard about this somewhere, but I can't put my finger on it.)" All Might thought tried to remember but decided to focus on class right now.
"Bakugo, use that stored-up power again and I'll stop this fight. Your team will lose." All Might warned.
(Leo and Izuku vs Katsuki)
"Huh?" Katsuki puzzled a bit from this.
"To employ such a strong attack indoors is inviting the destruction of the stronghold you should be protecting. That's a poor strategy, whether you're a hero or a villain. The penalty would be a massive loss of points." All Might scolded.
This made Katsuki made that he can't use his special giant blast move, but before he could shout again, both his opponents were already in front of him and grab his shoulders to throw him over to the wider room crashing onto a wall close to the hole that was made by his attack.
"We got this!" Leo said.
"Right!" Izuku nodded.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Izuku and Leo seem have now turn the tide against Katsuki with that weird crimson power showing up again, and let's hope it'll be enough to win this match for the hero team as they may do something more than just a simple power up.
