He was here.
This might just be the day.
The day he can take Izuku back.
The day he might just bring his friend back from the hell that he had gotten himself into.
Bakugo walked to the entrance of the giant mansion to meet with Best Jeanist. But the area around him was a little strange for a drug bust. It was really fancy and not they typical rundown shack that the people make the drugs in.
First of all it was a huge mansion, the walkway to the door seemed to stretch for a quarter of a mile. There was a ten foot wall that seemed to stretch across the entire property, and it was entirely made of cinder blocks. The grass was freshly trimmed to the point where Bakugo got green stains on his boots. And the wall had no vines crawling it's way up the walls. So it was very well kept.
Bakugo walked to Best Jeanist and nodded in greeting. Best Jeanist then nodded in kind and looked to all the other heros to address them.
Bakugo then brought his own attention to the other four heroes before him.
There was the Dragoon hero "Ryukyu". Bakugo knew her dragoon quirk would come in handy if they needed some pure power with her ability to turn into a huge dragon on command.
The next was a rather tall man with strangely beady eyes.
"Mirio! Is that you!" Bakugo exclaimed.
Mirio, who was staring out into the sky, was suddenly snapped back into reality as Bakugo caught his attention.
"Bakugo? Hey! I haven't seen you in forever buddy!"
Bakugo ran in to give him a high five. Only for Mirio's hand to phase through his own.
"Oh, so you're still a dick huh? Even after all these years?" Bakugo said playfully, trying to lightly hit Mirio on the shoulder only for his fist to phase through it as well.
They both laughed with childlike fun before Best Jeanist tied up both of their mouths with denim.
"Please shut up." He said with a strange kindness to his voice.
Best Jeanist then released them as they both pointed at each other. He gave them the stink eye and they both quickly lowered their fingers while taking a sudden interest in the trees around them.
Best Jeanist then cleared his throat and laid out his plan.
"This is a drug bust mission. There are reports of dealers coming in and out of this house with a new dangerous steroid named trigger, due to its abilities to suddenly trigger a spike in quirk growth." He said looking back and forth between his sidekicks. Bakugo looked to Mirio and saw that his face was hardened with understanding.
"The drug however is only temporary, as most drugs are. But not only does it boost a users quirk, it also makes them unable to see reason and go berserk anywhere they are. Creating a super villain basicly." Best Jeanist finished.
"Humpf. Yeah they turn into on tough son of a bitch alright." Said a burly man right beside Mirio.
Bakugo's heart jumped in surprise. He didn't even realize this man was there. It seemed as if he had erased his presence so completely that Bakugo hardly realized that he existed.
The man then noticed Bakugo looking him up and down and jerked his head upward as if he was saying "sup".
Best Jeanist then pointed his hand at him, presenting him for everyone else.
"Everyone this is Knuckleduster. He is the lead person on this case and has been tracking this drug ring down for years. He may be a vigilante but please treat him like you would any other professional." He said. Knuckleduster then stood beside the pro and looked over the side kicks as if was trying to get a read on their abilities.
"Listen up brats! I've been on this case for years so you better watch yourselves while you're in there! This mission is highly dangerous and you could get seriously hurt if you make a wrong move. Is that clear!?" He started with so much authority that Bakugo felt his back go a little bit straighter out of reflex.
Knuckleduster then nodded his head and crossed his arms, "Good. This trigger drug is just like Jeanist over here said. It essentially makes rampaging superheros on the fly. However there is a way to tell if they are going to use it or not. As well as a way to defeat them."
Bakugo raised his hand.
Knuckleduster gave Bakugo his attention and rolled his eyes. "This isn't a classroom punk just say what you gotta say."
Bakugo lowered his hand again, but the look in his eyes did not change.
"How exactly does the trigger drug enhance quirks? Does it increase a quirks efficiency, or does it just make the user lose control and the quirk goes on without restraint?"
Knuckleduster raised an eyebrow as all eyes landed on him. Bakugo pretended not to notice and kept his attention on the big man in front of him.
"That's a pretty good question kid. You got brains on ya."
Knuckleduster then straightened his back and addressed the rest of the heros.
"When a person used the trigger drug, three things happen: First the person loses all reason, second their tongue turns black, which is how we can tell if they have used the drug before and more than likely use it again. And the third thing is that their abilities are amplified tremendously. A man who can stretch up to ten feet can now been as tall as a building. A girl who could summon a protective aura around her body can make it as big as a city block. And a man who can run as fast as a cheetah can suddenly out run a professional level race car. Does that clear things up for ya?" As he talked, he seemed to get more and more aggravated as time went on. Bakugo could tell that this was a personal matter to him.
Bakugo nodded in understanding.
"Good." Knuckleduster said, finally stepping back.
A moment of silence passed as the air grew a little terrifying. But Best Jeanist seemed to cut through that air with a sudden clearing of his throat.
"I know it's a little scary since two of you have never dealt with the trigger drug before, but I know you can both handle it. With these enhanced quirks, people have a harder time with their control over it. So that means more openings and bigger weaknesses." He said with a gleam in his eye.
Bakugo looked at the other sidekick standing beside Mirio. He was a rather short plane looking man that reminded him of Izuku when he was middle school. Although he appeared to be older than Bakugo by a few years. He wore an All-Might cosplay jacket and was wrapped head to toe in biker gear. He wasn't any sidekick that Bakugo had met before.
Before Bakugo could open his mouth to ask, a shout rang out across the field.
"THE FRONT GATE IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN! EVERYBODY TAKE THEIR POSITIONS!"
"Go!" Best Jeanist yelled. And everyone immediately dispersed. Knuckleduster and the cosplay boy ran around to the side of the gate and climbed up. Waiting for the explosion to jump back down. Bakugo and Mirio positioned themselves a few feet away from the door to storm the front entrance.
Then the men with the bombs backed away from the door and hid themselves so they wouldn't be caught in the blast. One of them held up his hand and counted down from five.
Five. . .
Four. . .
Three, Bakugo balled up his hands.
Two, Mirio started taking deep breaths.
One. . .
A giant ear splitting boom rang across the area and the pros and sidekicks ran for the front entrance, followed quickly by the police.
Bakugo ran into the building hands outstretched and ready for any chaos.
And then that's when it hit.
Villains jumped from the shadows like ghosts and seemed to cover the entire are like a blanket. Bakugo managed to squirm his way through a few people and make it to an open space that lead directly to the front door.
Then another two guys with blackened tongues jumped him. But Bakugo was a lot quicker and managed to dodge the first, then knock him out with a swift kick to the face, and reach over and blew an explosion right in his face causing him to fall to the ground unconscious.
Bakugo turned towards the door and prepared to make a run for it before somthing grabbing his leg stopped him.
"Hey kid." He said, " Wanna see something horrifying?" He then pulled a cylinder type thing out of his pocket and prepared to stab it in his thigh.
Bakugo's eyes widened and his reflexes kicked in. He kicked his leg over to the guy's hand and stomped on it before he could inject it into himself. Bakugo hated the feeling of bones breaking under his foot, but he was relieved that he stopped the immediate threat.
Bakugo turned back to the door and quickly ran inside. As he walked inside someone was punched and closed the door behind him. Leaving him in complete darkness.
There must have been some sort of noise dampener on the door, because as soon as the light faded out the noise disappeared along with it.
Great, Bakugo thought to himself. It's just the position he wanted to be in, no light and no back up.
Then suddenly something tapped on his shoulder, causing Bakugo's scared reflexes to swing.
But when he didn't connect with anything, his eyes adjusted to see Mirio standing there.
"Jesus Christ you scared me." Bakugo said, relaxing his arm but still on guard.
Mirio just grinned and rubbed the back of his neck not really responding. Bakugo furrowed his brow and started to walk down the hall, not bothering to take off his shoes out of spite.
Mirio followed closely behind and Bakugo could feel his gaze on his back like a hot iron. It was a little unnerving.
"Hey Mirio. Did you see that last episode of Game of Thrones the other day? It was really good right?" Bakugo turned around stopped. Looking Mirio in the eye.
Mirio stopped for a moment and put his finger up to his chin.
"Yeah I thought it was pretty good. I liked the twist at the end."
Suddenly Bakugo sprung forward and punched him on the cheek. Mirio was hit so hard that he landed on the floor, blood pouring out of his busted lip.
"You fucker! Mirio would have punched me for saying something like that! We were on the phone the whole time it aired and he kept complaining about it the whole time!"
Mirio's face transformed from his usual cheery expression to one of twisted love sickness. Then his form began to melt and crumble off of him like pus rolling of the skin.
Bakugo stood back up, repulsed at the sight at stared at the figure before him in horror. After a moment though the liquid seemed to disappear. And under it was a very feminine figure.
Bakugo's face turned beat red as he tried to avert his eyes. But his realization that she was probably the enemy forced his hero side to meet her eyes.
She was rather pretty, in a psychotic yandere type of way. She had bright yellow eyes and tangled blonde hair to match. But she wore a smile on her face that Bakugo could tell something wasn't quite right with her.
"Who are you! And why would you dare to pretend to be my friend!" Bakugo shouted with a rising tone of anger in his voice.
The girl got off the ground and walked over to the wall on her right while covering up with her hands. Bakugo was about to say something before she pounded on the wall three times.
Those knocks seemed to ring out across the entire building without any sort of problem. Bakugo was confused on why she did that and tried to ask her. But when he opened his mouth to speak the girl shot him a him an embarrassed look that made his voice clog in his throat.
Bakugo looked back down at the ground, but suddenly a whooshing noise pounded loudly against his ears. Bakugo quickly looked up from the floor to see a giant black misty portal swirling it's way toward him. When Bakugo's instincts kicked in it was already too late.
As he went through a mixture of feelings ran through him. First was confusion, then a weird motion effect like he was spinning through space with nothing to hold onto.
Then light flooded back into his eyes and his feet touched the ground, and Bakugo promptly threw up right then and there.
"Gross." Said a man made up of black mist, "I'm just glad it didn't happen in the portal. I hate having to get this suit dry cleaned."
Bakugo finally finished vomiting and looked up at the three people in front of him who stood with their body language full of disgustion.
It was the league of villains. And they looked angry.
