'Thoughts'

Flashback/TV/Phone/Texts

Quirks

Izuku walked confidently into the room and saw his fellow students standing in their new costumes. The one that really caught his eye was Ochako's.

"Oh, Zu!" Ochako greeted happily as she walked over. "Awesome costume! I like the coat."

Izuku sheepishly laughed as he scratched his cheek. "Th-Thanks. Oh, I like you costume too."

"Really?" Ochako said nervously as she rubbed the back of her helmet. "The jump suits really tight. I guess I should've been more specific, huh."

Ochako's suit looked like a spaceman's suit… if it was made for a girl and was specifically designed for fan service. On her head was a pink helmet with see through glass covering her face. The suit was a skintight pink and black with detached sleeves, knee high boots, a pink collar, and thick round bracers with handles on them. For some reason Izuku couldn't figure out.

"Why the handles?" Izuku questioned.

"Oh, these." Ochako started, pointing to her bracers. "These are to help stop my quirks drawback. If I use my quirk to lift something too heavy, I'll throw up. They clamp down on my pressure points in my wrist to suppress any nausea and stuff."

"Woah." Izuku said, impressed. "I just made this suit because I thought it looked cool."

Ochako laughed at that. "Really?"

"Well, I did ask for something's to help, but not to enhance my quirk." Izuku said. "Can't really enhance a mind power with technology."

Ochako giggled. "True, But it's still funny."

"I guess it is." Izuku responded.

Izuku heard loud steps behind him along with a chuckle.

"I leave for a minute to use the bathroom and your already flirting again." Bakugo said. "Have you no shame Izuku?"

Izuku turned around, red in the face, and said. "I'll end you."

"YES! I'M TURNING YOU INTO ME!" Bakugo shouts in glee.

Izuku paled at that. "What? NOO!"

"JOIN THE BAKUSQUAD DEKU!"

"NEVER!"

The students in the room sweatdropped at this.

All Might kept smiling, albeit awkwardly, before he leaned down to Ochako and asked. "Are these to always like this?"

"Yup." Ochako confirmed.

Iida nodded his knight helmeted head. "Even in group chats, they never stop."

"Well, ok." All Might started. "Alright boys, settle down."

The two stopped arguing and turned to look at All Might, as did the rest of the class. All Might cleared his throat and place a fist on his hip.

"Today we will be doing battle training, as I said before. But I failed to specify what kind." All Might spoke. "You all shall be doing Indoor Battle Training!"

'Indoor Battle Training huh.' Izuku mulled over in his head as All Might continued.

"As I'm sure you've all seen from the news or in person, villain battles are mostly seen outside. BUT!" All Might punctuated with a pointer finger in the air. "Statistics show that the smarter villains are more likely to attack indoors."

"True." Bakugo muttered quietly. "That one fucker tried to grope my mom in the store. Didn't plan for my dad and me to see him. Broke the bastards hands before he could get any good grabs."

"Quick thinking." Izuku muttered back. "You mom would've killed him."

"So to prepare you all for that, you all will be paired into teams of two! Then split off into two sides, heroes and the villains." All Might explained.

"So there's no basic training?" A frog girl asked as she tilted her head.

All Might didn't falter. "This experiences teaches some of the best basic training."

A well endowed black haired girl asked. "What determines victory for the side that wins?"

Bakugo spoke up. "How much can we hurt our opponents?"

"Jesus Christ dude." Izuku muttered. "That's like saying 'how much can I kick this puppy?'"

"I'll kill you."

Ochako spoke up as the two kept bickering. "Are you threatening to expel us if we lose like what Aizawa did?"

Iida raised his armoire arm. "How are we being divided into teams?"

"My cape is fabulous, don't you think."

"Alright everyone, I can only answer one question at a time." All Might told the students. Teachings hard!

'Oh this is exactly what I expected from All Might being a teacher.' Izuku thought with a grin. 'He's so awkward.'

"Now listen up, the villain team will be hiding a fake bomb in the building. It's the heroes job to go in and take care of it. The heroes only have about ten minutes to find the bomb and secure it, all the while the villains will be trying to stop them." All Might finished before he brought out a bucket with the word 'lot' in it.

"This is how we will be picking teams!" All Might announced.

"Why by lottery?" A blonde haired boy with a black streak in it asked.

"Just so the strongest don't team up and win too easily." Bakugo said.

"And because pro heroes have to team up with other pros they may not recognize for emergencies." Izuku added.

"Exactly!" All Might said. "Now everyone, come and pick your teams!"

Everyone walked up one by one and grabbed a piece of paper with a letter labeled on it. After all had grabbed one, they all went to find the person who matched their letter.

Izuku and Ochako both got lucky to be Team A.

A boy named Shoto, who's left side was covered in ice, and a tall and muscular boy named Mezo were Team B.

The well endowed girl whose name was Momo teamed up with Mineta, who seemed to keep forcing his head away from staring at her… 'bust'. They were Team C.

Bakugo and Iida were Team D.

A pink haired girl named Mina and a somehow sparkling boy named Yuga were Team E.

A large boy wearing a yellow jumpsuit and big lips named Rikido and another rock shaped head boy named Koji was Team F.

Team G was the blonde haired boy named Denki was teamed with a pink looking girl named Kyoka.

Team H was the frog girl called Tsuyu and a bird headed boy named Fumikage.

Team I was a thick tailed boy named Mashirao and an invisible girl named Toru. She was completely naked, but no one could see, except for a pair of gloves and boots. Poor, poor Mashirao.

And finally, Team J was the spiky red haired boy Eijiro pairs with a oddly shaped elbowed boy named Hanta.

With the teams all made, All Might reaches into another two boxes labeled 'Villains' and 'Heroes' respectively.

"The first teams up are…" All Might pauses for dramatic affect. "Team A as the heroes and Team D as the villains!"

Izuku grinned as Bakugo smiled murderously.

"Better have those earbuds out, Deku." Bakugo said, threateningly but somehow still friendly.

"I'd say the same but we both know you have them up you ass along with that stick, Kacchan." Izuku retorted with a scary grin.

All Might sweat dropped. If this was how these to treated their friends… he pitied the sorry villains who would ever come in contact with them.

"Ok, Team D! Head in first. You'll have five minutes to plant the bomb before the heroes are sent in. The rest of us will watch in the control room via CCTV cameras! Good luck!"

Bakugo and Iida headed into the building as Izuku and Ochako stayed outside while everyone else walked to another building down the street. How much money did the fake city cost again?

"Ok, Zu we got this!" Ochako started with a fist pump in the air. "Do you have a plan?"

Izuku grinned. He didn't spend a whole year fighting Bakugo not to have a plan fighting him. But that also meant Bakugo had a plan too.

"I have a few." Izuku admitted before asking. "How fast can you run?"

"Pretty fast if I try really hard." Ochako said.

Izuku nodded before he floated in mid air, crossing his legs. "So here's the plan…"

(5 Minutes Later)

"And begin!"

All Mights voice rang through the ear pieces of the four students. With each team already prepared, the test began.

Ochako was sent ahead first into the building. As she walked through the first story of the building she noticed how all the walls were made of complete metal. This must've cost a fortune!

As she walked out the end of the hall, she entered a large spaced room. With metal pillars close to the walls. She heard steps walking towards her as she looked down the hall, see Bakugo standing there, in front of the only exit to the next floor.

"Sup, round face." Bakugo greeted with a grin. "May I know where Izuku is?"

Ochako looked confused. Why was he being so… friendly. "Uh, you know I can't te-"

"Besides your bedroom." Bakugo said with a shit eating grin.

Ochak gained a full face blush as she looked away, covering her face.

Bakugo laughed before setting into a stance. "Izuku knew if me and fought, it would take to long, so he went ahead while asking you to stall. Am I right?"

Ochako stayed silent which made Bakugos grin even larger.

"Figure as-" Bakugo was stopped as multiple metal plates crashed through a wall and slammed him to the side. Sending him slamming against the opposite wall.

"I'm not that lazy, Bakago." Izuku quipped as he walked through the new hole in the wall, hands in his pockets. "You overthinked about what I would do."

"Y-Yeah." Bakugo grunted in pain, but still held a grin. "N-Not a nerd l-like you so."

Izuku shook his head and motioned for Ochako to go. "I'll take care of him, go on ahead."

"But you have him pinned down, just wrap the capture tape around him and he'll be dis…"

Bakugo unleashed a roar as the metal was blasted off of him before stepping out the smoking crater in the wall.

"Good luck Izuku!" Ochako said quickly as she ran out the room.

Izuku chuckled as Bakugo rolled his shoulders.

"Remember, they're watching Bakugo." Izuku said.

"Yeah." Bakugo said before settling into another stance, palms already smoking. "Let's give them a show!"

Izuku pulled a hand out of his pocket and clenched his fist. "Let's."

Bakugo blasted off explosions from his palms and flew straight at Izuku. The green haired boy through his hand in the air, sending a thick slab of metal up in front of him, blocking him.

An explosion slammed into the metal, sending smoke that covered Izuku's view. The smoke moved towards Izuku left causing him to Almighty Push it away. But when the smoke cleared it was revealed to be just a piece of metal.

Before Izuku could turn, his head was kicked into the metal, denting it.

"Got you fucker!" Bakugo shouted I happily. "Finally!"

Izuku quickly used his quirk to shove him away before rubbing his head in pain.

"Damn that hurt." Izuku hissed as he rubbed his head. "Should've underestimated you enough to use that move as recklessly as I did."

Bakugo regained his balance and smiled victoriously. "I finally hit you!"

"Yeah, yeah." Izuku muttered. "Good job, wanna cookie?"

"Aww, is Zuzu ma…" Bakugo's taunts were cut off as a metal plate flew and hit the back of his head. "Ah fuck!"

"Aww what's the matter?" Izuku taunted back. "Little Suki got hurt?"

Bakugo stopped holding his head in pain as his hands started smoking.

"YOUR DEAD!" Bakugo shouted as he rushed Izuku.

Izuku jumped backwards, letting Bakugo's exploding fist slam into the floor making a crater. Izuku grinned as he pulled both his hands out of his pockets, pointed to his crotch, and shook his hips back and forth.

"Suck it!" Izuku said mockingly before leaping out the way as Bakugo tried to hit him again.

"DIE DIE DIE!" Bakugo kept trying hit Izuku in his rage, but the green haired boy kept dodging.

"Suck it!"

BAM

"Suck it!"

BAM

"Suck it!"

BAM

"DIE YOU FUCKER FUCK!"

"What?" Izuku stopped, looking confused.

"SHUT UP AND DIE!"

(Control Room)

"What is Midoriya doing?" Momo asked, seeing the teen purposely making Bakugo mad.

"He's utilizing a common tactic that many heroes, even villains, use." All Might started. "Make your opponent so mad that they can't think straight and attack recklessly. If this was a real fight, Izuku would have already beat young Bakugo."

"Then why isn't he finishing the fight?" Denki asked.

"You'll see." All Might stared at the screen. "Now watch."

(With Izuku and Bakugo)

Izuku dodge to the left as Bakugo slammed his fist into a pillar, knocking a good chunk of it off. He stopped as stood still, huffing in and out as Izuku brought the metal chunk towards him.

"I'm… going… to end you." Bakugo huffed.

Izuku clenched his hand as the chunk of metal was clamped down as well until it took the shape of a hand.

Izuku lazily grinned, hiding his tiredness. "Come at me then, Su-"

"DAKKA!" Bakugo yelled out as he shot and explosion at Izuku.

Izuku dodged before sending the hand at Bakugo.

'Hurry up Ochako.' Izuku thought. 'I have to hold back or else we would both destroy the building. And he's not holding back at all.'

(With Ochako)

Ochako hurried down the hall as explosions and slams rang out all throughout the building.

"Those to don't hold back, do they?" Ochako said to herself as she kept running. "I better hurry, I don't think we have a lot of time left."

As Ochako opened as door, she rushed in and saw Iida standing in front of the bomb, with his back to her.

"Muhahah!" Iida said, trying to sound evil but ended up sounding silly.

Ochako tried to hold in her laughter, but just busted out laughing. "Pfffthehehehe!"

"Oh!" Iida yelled as he spun around. "You, uh, saw that."

Ochako couldn't form words so she just nodded her head.

Iida groaned and held his helmet in his hands. "I was TRYING to practice and sound scary and get in character…but I don't know I guess I'm not good at acting like a villain ok!"

"It's ok! It's ok!" Ochako laughed as she waved it off.

"Can… can we just fight now?" Iida asked.

Ochako settles into a stance and nodded as did Iida.

Iida sped forward at surprising speed, considering he was wearing full metal armor, and tried to kick Ochako. Ochako jumped out the way in front of a stone pillar as Iida smashed his foot into it.

Ochako quickly tapped the rubble that came off the half broke pillar before raising her arms to block Iidas kick.

Ochako was sent skidding back as she hissed, rubbing her arms. "Owie owie owie."

Iida rushed forwards again, but Ochako rushed at him as well, leaping over his leg. Just as Ochako landed, she turned and tried to tap him, but Iida jumped back.

Ochako activated her earpiece and said. "Izuku! I'm ready!"

(With Izuku and Bakugo)

"Huh?" Izuku said confused. He forgot he had a earpiece and it costed him.

Bakugo took Izuku's confusion to his advantage and blasted the metal hand back before stomping Izuku in his stomach; hard. Izuku was sent flying back as he slammed into a wall. Bakugo wasted no time and dash towards him, slamming his hands around Izuku's neck, holding him in place.

"I...I win." Bakugo growled.

Izuku grinned, despite the sweaty hands gripping his neck. "Nah, you just sealed my victory."

"Wha…"

Before Bakugo could finish, he was shoved away from Izuku and was slammed into the opposite wall. Izuku pulled himself out of the wall and pointed his thumb and pointer finger to the roof

"Ochako now!" Izuku said as flicked his thumb forward, making the air around him was distorted before shooting upwards through the roof.

Ochako clasped her fingertips together as all the rubble and pieces of metal she brought with her cane down. She quickly latched on to a pillar right before the ground under her and Iida was blasted open.

Just before the bomb was moved, the rubble slammed down around it to keep it still. Iida was flung backwards before the air blast settled down. Letting go of the pillar, Ochako made herself float over to the bomb before she landed on it.

"The hero team…" All Might started.

"Nooo." Bakugo said.

"Has…"

"No no no."

"Won!"

"DAMN IT!" Bakugo yelled as Izuku tried to catch his breath.

"We won Izuku!" Ochako yelled excitedly from their connected mic.

Izuku started to feel dizzy. "Yeah.. we wo...n."

Bakugo's head shot over as Izuku fell over. The last thing Izuku heard before passing out was Bakugo shouted out.

"Deku you idiot!"

'You too Kacchan.'

AN: Ayyyye I actually made a decently long chapter! Yay! So, Izuku is extremely powerful in his own right, but when it comes to staying awake in a fight against Bakugo and having to hold back, not that easy. Nothing else to say really so, read and review. Welp, Ash Out.
