"Hmm…I don't know. Maybe if you tell us a bit more about who is Bakugo Katsuki, then we won't mix him up with another student. Just saying~"
Dabi knew he was playing with fire when he blatantly spoke his mind toward their man-child leader. Especially when Tomura was seconds away from disintegrating them all. But, sue him, okay? He was super duper annoyed right now, blood boiled in silent anger. Why? Exactly as he said before.
They mixed Katsuki up with another student.
And how could they not? This kid looked like a punk—messy hair and furrowed eyebrow—cussed like a sailor, and every time he moved, he looked like a bristling kitten ready to launch. Definitely a correct definition for someone such as Katsuki. They just didn't realize someone else could be described the same way either. Sure, they had different hair colors—where Katsuki is a blonde, this kid is a ginger—but today's mission was implemented in the middle of the night. With the only moon to light the area up. No lamp nor flashlight as a backup. Dabi's fire didn't help any matter whatsoever, as it just gave everything the shade of blue and not brightening anyone's original color.
So, yes. In short, he was pissed off. Because every single thing they did tonight was all for naught.
"HRRRMMMPHH!"
Speaking about their wrong guest…
"Imma gonna fucking kill all of you!" the kid—Zero, Kurogiri said as he looked over the list of students he stole beforehand—screamed bloody murder the moment Spinner pulled the mouth guard away from its place. His ginger orbs widened, pupil thinned. His lips pulled open and sharp teeth were gnashed in agitation, "how fucking dare you trampled over those chibis, huh? Just because you couldn't see them, doesn't mean you can fucking hurt them!"
…what the hell is this kid talking about?
(Also, are they sure Zero is not Katsuki's long lost sibling or something? That potty mouth is uncanny. No wonder the League of Villain mixed them up).
"Can I kill him?!" Himiko gushed excitedly.
"No," Tomura blatantly refused. After complaining so much about it too?
"Why nooottt?" yeah, why not, chapstick?
"Because we can try asking him to join our cause instead. Gotta recycle the resource and all. His Quirk wasn't half-bad for an NPC anyway."
Oh.
Oh, yeah. That was actually a pretty good idea, coming from their childish boss. This boy is 1-B student as well, right? Maybe they can play with his ego by saying 'how corrupt the society is, forcing all of you kids to fight over ridiculous fame. And when you missed it, it'll be hard to even stand on equal ground. Just like how you, a member of class 1-B, got overshadowed after class 1-A managed to survive villains' attack by their lonesome. Yeah, we were the ones who ambushed those poor students. But remember the feeling of bitterness rising within you. The hatred that grew when those heroes pushed you aside. Tame it, nurture it. And unleash it". Or something along that line.
(Huh. Did Dabi really just built that argument in five seconds? Especially that last part. Sounded like an angsty teenager. Maybe this is karma, for donning a gothic, edgy appearance himself).
Before he could suggest those cheesy lines to Tomura, however, Zero snorted and guffawed. That gaze of his turned fierce, blind anger morphed to a pure determination as the wooden plank that was used to strapped his wrist together but apart started to…crack by itself? Zero's voice was soft when he spoke. Yet in the sudden silence, it felt like he was screaming, "me, a villain? Because I'm what? Looked like that fucking punk Bakugo from class 1-A?"
"People like you, who judge others by their look, are what I despised the most. Do you know how damn hard it was? For me to get a few genuine friends? And you want to snatch it away by asking me to be a fucking villain?" the fire on the candle on top of the bar table flickered, scattered pebbles near their feet clattered. The alcohol inside the glass bottle swayed and the air thickened. The sound of cracking woods turned up a notch and Dabi felt like he was standing inside a storm in the making, the fuck? What was this kid's quirk again?, "you want to see the difference between my power and that Pomeranian?"
(Nobody saw how Zero's ear perked up when he asked those rhetorical questions. It almost like he was listening to something. Something, only he could hear).
(Nor they realized the heroes had surrounded their hidden base).
(Nobody, except Zero, who victoriously smirked).
"Then see it to your heart content, bitch!"
Yankee wa Isekai de Seirei ni Aisaremasu (light novel and manga) belongs to Kuroi Heiho
Setting: Zero is not a summon hero in Isekai world here. He has synesthesia, where he saw the elements (fire, wind, water, wood, and earth) as a fairy-like being. Funny thing is, he still believes them as a real creature. Causing his previous junior high classmates to mocked him and turning Zero into an 'unruly punk' like this (he may be bullied, but he won't hesitate to throw a punch when someone is being a jerk). Zero is actually kind of nice and weak against cute things.
In short, Zero's synesthesia in this fanfic is like Sawaki Tadayasu from Moyashimon (manga, anime, live-action).
Zero's Quirk: Fairy Whisperer (coaxing the element to move according to his will. Zero had to use the available element around the environment whenever he wants to activate his quirk. That's why he brings a lighter with him even though he never smokes; one of the reasons why everyone thought Zero's a delinquent. Because he couldn't find fire as easily as he found air, earth, wind, or wood)
Series or One-shot?: One-shot

BONUS:
Zero, who managed to escape by his own and looked completely exhausted, stared in satisfaction as the house burned to ashes, water raged like a tsunami, hard woods pierced the air, ground opened up in a shape of an imaginary monster's maw while tornado twisted and turned: "Man. You chibis are powerful!" *fist-bumped one of the fairies perching on his shoulder* "thanks for the heads up. Didn't know the heroes would arrive so quickly. I gave them the distraction already, we can just leave the rest to them. So—"
Zero: "—let's go home~"
