Summary:

General Izuku Midoriya, a rare omega cherry bee and Second in Command to Chief All Might's army, is left to run and defend Brambleberry Hive. he never expects a swarm of vicious hornets, led by alpha general Katsuki Bakugo, to ambush them and take over the hive. Bakugo takes his place as Chief Alpha, making Izuku his prisoner and slave. But Izuku refuses to let Bakugo control him and fights the alpha every chance he gets. He will have his revenge on Bakugo and regain control of Bramberry Hive before All Might comes back. That is until they share a threat that forces them to work together.

The villainous race from the Wastelands has grown in number and seek control of the Valley and Canopies. Led by the gamma Centipede King Tomura, alpha huntsman spider Dabi, and a mysterious hidden creature, both Bakugo and Izuku will have to put their differences aside to defend their land. They will need the help of the Butterfly King, Shouto Todoroki and the rest of the Valley inhabitants to combat the villains. Bakugo and Izuku have different ways of conducting business and don't always get along. But opposites are said to attract, and sometimes hate can turn to love. They might find that love is the greatest challenge of all.

Notes:

***Hi everyone! I'm back with a new BakugoxIzuku alpha/omega fic!
***This fic will involve the anthropomorphic forms of the MHA cast as insects. Yes, humanoid insects. Don't worry, they are more human looking than 'bug-looking.' They will only become more bug-like when they shapeshift for fighting.
***This fic is going to focus mainly on Izuku and Bakugo's relationship with some of the other characters popping in now and then. Or at least, that is my attempt. No one is perfect!
***I promise the characters will reproduce like humans and mammals. Yes, I'm well aware that most insects lay eggs, but this is fantasy, so anything goes. If you're a naturalist or an entomologist, TURN BACK NOW! Please, don't bombard me with science and biology! This story is for FUN! Please just read and enjoy it!
***Also, I see their names spelled different ways at different times on different media, so I'm just going with the spellings that I am most familiar with. I apologize if this bothers anyone.
***So please, read on and enjoy! Let me know what you think in comments and with kudos!
***(And it's funny I'm writing this genre of fantasy because I actually have a MASSIVE phobia of bugs!)

***Warnings: Language, minimal violence

Prologue

He can't give up. He can't surrender. This is his hive! His home. And he must defend it in the chief alphas' absence. He wipes the blood from his eyes and spits some out on the floor. Lifting himself on trembling, exhausted legs, he stands his ground once again. Taking the last of his strength, he unleashes his Insectoid power. Molding and uncurling the back abdomen, he lets stinger breakthrough, straight, sharp, and black. His mandibles fold out from his jaw, he spreads his wings and gives a shimmering buzz of warning.

The enemy does the same, and the two whiz towards each other, collide in the air and engage in hand to hand combat.

But the enemy is stronger, larger, faster, and an alpha.

"Fuck off and die, pollen-scum!"

The alpha hornet's stinger finds his side, jabbing one, two, three times and injects a fiery venom.

Letting out a screeching cry of intense pain, he spirals to the floor, landing in a heap of rubble and dried mud. He clutches his side, gritting his teeth and panting madly as he tries to combat the burning pain in his veins. The hornet's venom would be deadly to any other Insectoid that is not a Vespa like him. But unlike the others, death for them is quick. For him, the venom will linger for hours.

'Come on, Izuku! Stand up!' Izuku's mind and body battle with themselves as the rest of him tries to manage the pain.

It's no use. The venom twists at his insides, paralyzing his limbs and body until only his wings twitch with a faint, low buzz. The pain is unbearable. He curls into the fetal position, trying to find some relief from the venom. It's hopeless. Tears pour down his cheeks, both from the pain and the agony of defeat. The chief alpha left him in charge, and he's failed.

A pair of sandaled feet land before him in a cloud of dust. Izuku lets out a cough, which only doubles the pain. He cannot find his voice, and though he must give in, to surrender, he lets the hornet alpha know that he will have revenge with his glare.

"The Great Chief Alpha All Might left his hive in YOUR care?" The hornet mocks Izuku, pulling out the scimitar from its sheath. "What a fucking mistake that was,"

Izuku continues to glare at him, refusing cry out in pain.

"It's a shame Chief All Might is not here. I was hoping to face him, not you," the hornet gives Izuku a shove with his foot. "This is my hive now. Your alphas and gammas have surrendered, and you my prisoner. I'll admit, you put up a good fight for a honey bee, but you're still a larva!" The hornet crouches down to smirk smugly at Izuku, still holding the scimitar. "I'm your new chief now," Izuku finally lets out a piercing, anguished cry as the hornet slices off a quarter of his left antenna with the blade. "And all the world will know my sting!"

Chapter 1: The False Chief

Izuku stands at the archway of the grand hall, flanked by two hornet soldiers wielding spears. Ahead of him, seated on All Might's curule chair upon the golden dais, is Katsuki Bakugo; the alpha hornet general who has seized control of Brambleberry. Izuku had fought this alpha but lost, forced to surrender the hive and everyone in it. As Chief All Might's second in command and trusted warrior, Izuku let everyone down. Now he is a prisoner of Bakugo's swarm of hornets. Perhaps, if Izuku had been born an alpha or gamma, he might have stood a chance against Bakugo. But he came into this world as an omega, the lowest of the low, with his only worth decided in working and breeding.

And yet, All Might viewed everyone the same, and every Insectoid, regardless of life, could be a warrior. Izuku admires his true alpha chief and strives to be just like All Might. He has taken a vow of loyalty, pledging his life to Chief All Might. Izuku has taken a vow of chastity as well, swearing off alphas and children to only serve in Chief All Might's army. It was All Might that helped Izuku to choose and take his vow. Izuku wants his only focus in life to be the next chief and rule Brambleberry Hive as All Might does now. Or that's how it was two days ago.

Now Izuku has chains on his ankles, which permit him to walk but are too heavy to lift while flying. For a Vespa to be grounded is a show of punishment and shame. Izuku, however, will not allow Bakugo to receive any satisfaction by seeing him beg for freedom. Let the hornet overlords mock and jeer at him; the little honey bee omega that 'tries' to be a mighty warrior like them. He will figure a way out of this situation while Chief All Might is away at war. By the time his TRUE chief alpha comes home, Brambleberry will be just as All Might left it. Izuku will have his revenge.

The hornet warrior behind him nudges Izuku with the tip of the spear. Izuku is forced to enter the grand hall, ankles chained, while he approaches Bakugo. He glares at the phony alpha chief seated upon the dais, looking both angry and smug at the same time. Next to the alpha are two other hornets, both gammas, and Izuku assumes they are Second in Commands. The three on the dais look like a wild bunch of vagabond Insectoids, but Izuku has seen them fight, and these hornets are not to be underestimated. One has spiky red hair and eyes while the other has yellow hair and eyes. They appear happier than their alpha, though Izuku does not know if they are friendly. All Might has taught him that you cannot judge another based on first glance, yet Izuku is finding it a challenge to not view the two hornets as enemies. They are, after all, part of Bakugo's swarm, which make them his enemy.

It seems that all Hornets have the same pattern of brown stripes on their bodies, starting from the backs of their necks and down to their legs. Most Vespas have stripes, though the pattern, length, thickness, and style is how other species can tell them apart. The hornet's antennas are thick and dark brown while their four wings are long and thin. The wings do not look as if their shape can handle the body weight of an adult hornet, but as Izuku saw two days ago, he had assumed wrong. And they are big! Bakugo and his two gammas must like to show off their muscles because they only wear harem pants. To see so much of their bare skin and muscles makes Izuku feel uneasy. He keeps his body covered with a green jerkin to match his hair and eyes. The furry fluff encircling his neck is a dark, dusty red, which matches the freckles on his face. Izuku's pattern of stripes in both Humanoid and Insectoid form has more red undertones in the brown. All Might suggested that Izuku should cover himself because his Vespa markings are unique. Unlike the Hornets, he has a youthful, almost soft appearance, and Izuku knows this about himself. The Hornets must see him as a cute little omega honey bee playing at being an alpha chief.

"State your name and rank to the chief alpha!" Commands the one with red hair, pointing a long spear in Izuku's direction.

"Izuku Midoriya, Second in Command of Chief All Might's first legion," Izuku answers, keeping his voice firm and even.

"Are you All Might's omega mate?" Asks the one with yellow hair.

"I'm not," Izuku replies, then decides it is best to keep the vow of chastity a secret. He shouldn't entice the Hornets. "I have no mate." It is Bakugo who speaks next.

"Why would All Might put someone like you in command of this hive?" Bakugo asks again, just as he did when he defeated Izuku. "How the hell is it that you are a Second in Command to an alpha warrior like All Might? I kicked your honey-sucking ass without even lifting a finger!"

Izuku swallows hard before he answers. "This hive is only one of All Might's many homes. When he returns, I will see him take back his throne and tear the wings from your back!" Bakugo glares at him from behind the black stripe covering his eyes like a mask.

"What the hell did you just say to me?"

"I'm only stating the truth," Izuku says. "Enjoy your time playing the chief alpha while you can."

"Ha! He's a feisty one!" Says the yellow-haired hornet, popping a berry into his mouth and chewing obnoxiously.

"Shut your fucking trap, Kaminari," Bakugo hisses to the blonde.

"Why have you chosen to take over Brambleberry?" Izuku asks him.

"No one said you could ask questions, grub worm!" Bakugo shouts at him. "This hive now belongs to me! All Might was a fool to rush off to that stupid war with the Centipede King!"

Izuku narrows his brows at Bakugo. "He is fighting for peace throughout the valley! The Insectoids from the Wastelands are growing too numerous! We can't let them reach the Canopies! You should be aiding All Might in the war rather than taking over his hives!"

The redhead laughs as does the hornet named Kaminari.

"Hey, little honey bee, you are cruisin' for a brusin' if you keep up that talk," Says the redhead.

"He'll face more than that, Kirishima," Bakugo says. "Perhaps All Might should have taken you into battle rather than keeping you here. At least on the battlefield, you probably wouldn't have fucked up as much as you did here because All Might would have been there to help you."

Izuku felt the sting of that insult like the hornet's venom. In a way, though he hates to admit it, Bakugo was right. His position as a prisoner is proof of that.

"So, what will be your punishment for pissing me off?" Bakugo taps his chin as he ponders. "You think you're pretty hot shit because All Might taught you a few attacks, don't you?"

Izuku doesn't respond to that.

Bakugo lounges in the chair. "Since you're the Second in Command that entitles you to better treatment," He smirks darkly. "But you annoy the hell out of me, and no one speaks to me like that. You've got some fucking balls to stand up to a hornet such as me. You need to be taught a lesson, little grub worm. You're not just my prisoner, but you are also my slave! From a warrior to a slave; a humiliating punishment, yet one that is worthy of your true abilities."

'He's mocking me because I am an omega,' Izuku thinks to himself. 'If I'm to be his slave, then what am I expected to do? Will he force me into mounting and breeding? Or will I just have to wait on him hand and foot?'

"Get him out of my sight for now," Bakugo commands. "Lock him away in his room or something until I call for him. I've got a lot of shit to do." 'I don't like the way he's looking at me,' Bakugo thinks while watching the guards take the honey bee away. 'I'll straighten him out real fast. All Might will see that I am the one he should have chosen!'

Bakugo flops on the large bed that is, or was, All Might's. He has chosen All Might's chambers for himself, as is befitting of a chief alpha. Bakugo has already sent some hornets back to the old hive to retrieve his belongings and bring them here. All Might's things will go into storage for now.

Bakugo looks up at the blue canopy bed and starts to grind his teeth with growing frustration. The only way to succeed in the world is to fly to the very top and do whatever you can to become the number one hero. To do that, one must surpass the current Hero of the Valley; and that person is All Might. If All Might had just accepted Bakugo as his successor and given him the chance to lead one of his armies into this war, then he would not have had to take matters into his own hands. It was a gamble on his part. But Bakugo has never been the type to play it safe. He's known to act out irrationally and attack without thinking, and that is how he gained respect.

The honey bee though; that Izuku Midoriya, a stupid looking omega has the favor of an alpha such as All Might. Bakugo ponders the reason behind All Might's choice to keep an omega so close and grant him power when the alpha doesn't plan to take Izuku as a mate, or so the omega says. There is a large age difference between the two, but that has never stopped mating marriages before. It is a shitty and sticky situation that males have to endure under the rule of females. Once his Queen hears word of what he's done, she will be furious, but Bakugo already has a plan to calm her down. He has thought this through very carefully.

But thinking back to the honey bee. Bakugo hates to admit it, but the omega put up quite a decent fight. It was not Izuku's fighting skills that worked against him but his omega biology. An omega does not have the endurance of an alpha. It only applies to male Insectoids, however. Females are the superior species because they have no weaknesses within their biological structure. Females rarely mate with males, so it is left to the male omegas to produce offspring. Occasionally, female omegas will bear young from an alpha male.

If All Might has no plans to mate, mount, and marry the omega Izuku, then what else could the Hero of the Valley be thinking? No omega male has ever, EVER, succeeded as Hero of the Valley. And there has been a rumor of the Monarch Butterfly Prince, Asshole Shouto Todoroki, as All Might's possible successor as well. All Might has no biological children of his own, which the entire Canopies and Valley whisper about and question. So, why keep an omega at his side if he doesn't plan to breed a powerful offspring? A knock at the door breaks his line of thought.

"This had better be good!" Bakugo shouts at the door.

Kirishima enters with Kaminari behind him. Kaminari is whining about something while Kirishima holds up a folded piece of parchment. "We were snooping through the honeycomb archives and found documents on Izuku Midoriya!" Kirishima says.

"This hive is so boring, Baku!" Kaminari whines as he flops himself in a chair. "They don't have a harem here! What am I supposed to do with my time?"

Bakugo flies over to Kirishima and takes the paper. "Practice your training moves instead! Your dick shouldn't be stronger than your spear!"

Kaminari laughs and shimmies his wings. "I do train my body! It's all about the endurance!" He winks and shoots a finger at Bakugo.

"There are a lot of uptight, prudish omegas here," Kirishima adds. "Even the betas stick their noses up. Notice how they are all dressed from head to foot? I hate wearing clothes! Restricts movement."

Kaminari snaps his fingers. "I say we pass a new rule that all the honey bees here must walk around half naked! And omegas completely naked!"

Bakugo rolls his eyes. "You're such a pervert. You're fucking lucky I keep you around for your fucked-up stinger."

Kaminari uncurls his torso to reveal the lightning stinger. "They don't call me 'Sparky' for nothing!"

Kirishima flexes his muscles and biceps while revealing his stinger. "And mine is unbreakable! Hard as a rock!"

Bakugo unfolds the paper to begin reading it. "Yeah, yeah, I know what your fucking strengths are! I don't keep you both by my side for your wits!" He ignores their cries of protest as he sits on the bed to read the paper. His eyes skim through it, picking up only a few sentences and words that are relevant to questions he has.

'Hm. He comes from a single beta female from Thistlewood Hive. Born with a weak stinger…lop-sided antennas…unique coloring and patterns,' Bakugo raises a blonde brow as his curiosity peaked. His eyes landed on the word, 'cherry bee.' 'Type of Insectoid; Cherry Bee. Rare. Ability to procreate with other species besides Vespas…keep virginal…hide markings and patterns.'

"So? What's it say?" Kirishima asks.

"Take me to see the prisoner," Bakugo commands. "I need to check a few things. Do you know where they have him?"

"In his room," Kaminari answers.

"Show me the way, then make yourselves scarce."

Izuku stares at the shackles on his ankles and wishes that they could come off. Bakugo doesn't want him to escape, which is fair in this circumstance. He is, after all, a prisoner now. Bakugo is going to make him into a slave. He gently touches the tender spot where the tip of his left antenna had been. That hornet is a savage! But he can't give in. Izuku has two ideas to make the best of his situation, which is a lesson that All Might taught him when he was little. The first idea is to do as Bakugo says (against his will) to earn the alpha's trust, and then strike! The second is to keep fighting and resisting Bakugo's authority and gain the alpha's respect that way.

There is something that Izuku noticed with Bakugo when they were fighting and conversing before. Not once did Bakugo belittle him for being an omega. Bakugo never said, 'omegas shouldn't fight' or 'omegas are good for only one thing.' Izuku knows that Bakugo was mocking his defeat and his 'lack' of fighting skills. In a small, small way, Bakugo was like All Might in that manner. All Might looks for strength, character, and perseverance in a person where most can't look passed the alpha and omega status.

Izuku is startled from his thoughts when his door flies open, and Bakugo forces his way inside. Izuku stands from the bed, refusing to back down or show any fear.

"Strip," Bakugo commands.

"W-what?" Izuku takes a step back, his knees pressing against the bed and he can go no further.

"I'm not going to mount you! I need to see your markings! Now strip, or I'll do it for you!"

Izuku shakes his head. "No, I won't! My markings mean nothing! You are not my mate, so you cannot see me naked!"

Bakugo rolls his eyes. "We're both males, you idiot! Stop being a prude. I already said I have no plans to mount you!" When Izuku still refuses, Bakugo crosses his arms in annoyance. "So, you'll stand up to a Hornet like me, command an army of hundreds, but you're afraid to show your body? Are you hiding something about yourself?"

"What are you talking about? I'm hiding nothing. I have a right to not show my body to you!"

"Then you only show it to All Might?" Bakugo tries a different approach. "I thought you said he is not your mate."

"He isn't. I don't understand what my naked body has to do with anything."

Bakugo takes the document from his belt. "This paper is from All Might's office,"

Izuku's eyes narrow at Bakugo. "Why are you going through his things?"

"Protocol. This document is all about you, do you know that? Do you know that All Might keeps papers on you?"

Izuku looks at the paper but will not reach for it. "He keeps documents on all his soldiers,"

"But this is specifically about you as an omega and a person, not a soldier. You're a cherry bee, are you not?"

Izuku's heart beats loudly in his chest. "Let me see that paper," Bakugo hands it to him, and Izuku reads it quickly. He lifts his eyes to the alpha, and they are moist with unshed tears. "You will not make me a breeder. I'll sooner bite my tongue and kill myself before I let you make me into that!"

"Someone thinks fucking highly of themselves!" Bakugo spats out. "I knew something was up with you. All Might wouldn't keep you around just for your fighting skills, which suck. That is his handwriting, and it states that your body is to be kept virginal and hidden. He's not looking just for a successor; he's looking for an heir of his own flesh and blood!"

"You're wrong!" Izuku shouts and throws the paper at Bakugo. "All Might does not think so little of me! It's his way of protecting me! He trains all omegas to fight and protect themselves!"

"Then why did he pick you out of all the other omegas in this hive to be a Second in Command? You're a rare kind of Vespa, dumbass. He's keeping you for himself." 'That's why he didn't choose me. He wants a blood heir.'

Izuku clenches his fists at his sides. "All Might does not see me in that way! He respects me for who I am! I've earned a place by his side! He did not just give it to me! Everyone in All Might's commands is to act properly and with the utmost respect and honor!"

"Well, he made a lousy choice," Bakugo states again, then looks Izuku up and down. "You can breed with a different race," he says. "Do you know that?"

"I do. I am well aware of my abilities, and I have sworn them off to focus solely on my training! I am going to be All Might's successor! I will continue to bring peace to the Canopies and the Valley! What I don't understand is why you chose to attack us! You are a hornet the same as All Might! We're all Vespas!"

"My business is my own, and I do not have to tell you anything! All you need to know is that I'm the chief alpha now, and this hive belongs to me."

"All Might will destroy you!"

"We'll see about that," Bakugo mocks. "Now, do as I say and strip! I need to see your rare coloring,"

Izuku clutches the front toggles of his jerkin. "I've only been naked in the presence of other omegas," He says slowly. "Can't you take me at my word as a fellow warrior?"

"You're acting ridiculous," Bakugo scoffs at him. "I am your chief alpha, and you will do as I command! I said strip!"

Izuku lifted his chin and said, "I won't. Go ahead and bully me if you want, but I am not going to reveal my body to you for your own curiosity!"

"How dare you talk back to me, pollen-scum!"

"Shouting insults like that only proves that you are nothing more than a simple-minded brute!"

Bakugo's first reaction was to strike the honey bee, but he withheld his attack because he would be proving Izuku's point of being a 'simple-minded brute.' Bakugo knows he is anything but simple-minded. He is intelligent as well as a brilliant tactician and scholar. There is nothing he can't do and do it well, which is another reason he has a difficult time understand why All Might wouldn't choose him as successor. And Bakugo can tell that the omega isn't dumb and is aware of All Might's generosity in having all Vespas in his hives trained and educated. If the omega wanted to bump heads on a philosophical level, then so be it.

"Let me ask you something. Do you plan ever to mate?"

"No."

"Then what are you hiding your body for? Who told you that you need to hide? A strong omega like you shouldn't be bothered with such ridiculous morals like that unless it holds some sort of significance."

"It's my choice," Izuku says.

"Was it coaxed by All Might?"

Izuku hesitated for a moment, and then said, "If it was, then it is for my protection as a rare type of omega."

"But you're 'warrior,'" Bakugo says with a hint of sarcasm. "You can protect yourself. Why are you walking around differently from your fellow omegas? Unless All Might is being selfish and keeping your body for himself."

"I swear to the sun in the sky, if you continue to speak of All Might in such a way, I am going to have to defend his honor."

Bakugo scoffs. "Whatever. But in all honesty, tell me I'm wrong. Don't give me that 'it's my choice' shit. Your choice comes from reasoning. What is that reason? What are you afraid of?"

"I…I'm not afraid of anything. Again, I don't see what the significance is of my coloring. You said you don't plan to mount me, so why this push to get me to reveal myself? Are you thinking about selling me to someone?"

"Hell no. Everything in this hive is mine," Bakugo says. "That includes you. And I am going to ask you one last time. Strip."

Seeing as they're not getting anywhere, Izuku says, "Remove these shackles from my ankles and I will,"

Bakugo takes the keys from his belt and unlocks the shackles, letting them clatter to the floor. He stands up and crosses his arms. "Well?"

Izuku finally feels the relief on the raw red skin once the shackles fall away. He always keeps his promises and holds up his end of a deal. Izuku entertains the thought of attacking Bakugo right now while they are alone. However, the hive is full of Bakugo's Hornets, and all exits will be guarded or blocked. He wasn't entirely sure that he can take an alpha hornet like Bakugo and beat him, but they could at least meet at a standstill. Bakugo claims to be a warrior, but Izuku doesn't believe he has the heart or the spirit to claim that honor. Izuku decides to obey Bakugo, but he has a reason for doing so. He'll think about it in further detail later.

Unhooking his green jerkin, Izuku takes it off to place on the bed. He removes his pants next, making a mental note to mend both articles of clothing when he has a chance. Izuku can feel his face warming with shyness, but he muscles up the courage to look Bakugo straight in the eyes, standing firm. No alpha has seen his naked form, only other omegas. He tries not to let Bakugo know that he feels uncomfortable with the alpha's eyes looking him over, even circling. Izuku swallows hard but remains silent.

"Your coloring is dark red…one would think the hair on your head would be red, too."

Bakugo admits that he is impressed with Izuku's body. It is well toned with small muscles, springing from his omega build. Izuku also bears a few faded battle scars, especially on his right arm and hand. As an alpha, he couldn't help but notice Izuku's front and backside. He's mounted omegas in the past, but none had been in heat, nor were their bodies toned like Izuku's. Most of the omegas couldn't keep up with his mounting skills, so he preferred to bed betas that can keep up with him. Izuku's warrior body looks as if it can withstand his rutting if he wanted to mount Izuku, which he doesn't.

"Are you satisfied?" Izuku asks him with disdain.

"I am," Bakugo answers, matching Izuku's tone. "You can put your clothes back on. See? Was that so hard? Do you see that I have no erection?" Bakugo waits until Izuku is dressed before putting the shackles back on. "When was your last heat?"

"None of your business," Izuku snaps. "Are you going to ask the other omegas about their heats? Are you going to allow your Hornets to breed with Brambleberry omegas?"

Bakugo shrugs his shoulders. "Who am I to stop a couple that wants to mate?"

"I don't mean mating," Izuku turns away from Bakugo so the alpha can't see the worry on his face. "You know very well what I mean."

Bakugo sucks his teeth and puts his hands on his hips. "I do. And while I can't stop it from happening, I do punish alphas that take advantage of omegas or betas like that. It's a shameful act, and it doesn't reflect well on my reputation as a general and chief alpha. My warriors know how to behave."

"I find it hard to believe that a swarm who takes over another hive for personal gain has any type of morals."

"Go ahead and be combative. See how far it gets you."

"I'll find a way to beat you," Izuku says, slowly turning around to face Bakugo once again. "Either we can sit down and come to an agreement, or I can continue to fight you. Which will it be?"

Bakugo smirks. "One, I only agree with myself, and I oppose anyone who isn't me. Two, I don't make deals, I just win. And three, I'm better than you."

"Take these shackles off again and face me like a warrior!" Izuku thought better of his challenge, but he couldn't back down from it now. He spoke without thinking. Bakugo just angered him with that smug expression and over-active ego! Never has he encountered an alpha with such a superiority complex!

"You want to go again, little larva?" Bakugo accepts the challenge, taking the keys and freeing Izuku's ankles. He held his arms open and grinned darkly at the other. He spread his wings and gives out a loud, vibrating buzz. "No mandibles. No stingers," Bakugo gets into a fighting stance, lowing his antennas to the back of his head. "Just fists and feet! Come at me, shit-stain!"

Izuku mirrors Bakugo's stance, spreading his own wings and flattening his antennas. "If I beat you, then you must allow me freedom of those shackles!"

"Fine! But when I win, you have to sit and crawl beside me all day like a primitive little insect!"

Izuku grits his teeth and lets out a cry of battle as he lunges towards the hornet.

Bakugo lunges forward.
