It was almost time...
Every student in 1-A was in the monitor room basement while the selected teams were on the ground floor in the mock city of Ground Beta.
Mina and Tsuyu were looking at the monitor screens showing every street, alley, and room inside the designated building the teams were assigned to go into.
"Wow! This will be so cool! Seeing Midoriya and Katara fight off against Iida and that Bakugou guy! We can see how well they both handle Villainous activity!" Mina giggled, "I also like to see how Iida would fair against fighting Katara!"
"Yeah, that'll be interesting. *kero*" Tsuyu nodded, "He surely likes her from what I can analyze."
"Hehe! Oh come on, Tsu, what's there to analyze? He might as well put a big billboard sign above him that says, 'I like Katara!'."
Tsuyu thought about that, "...Yeah, you're right. He's about as obvious as Bakugou having a temper."
As Mina cackled, Ochako looked at one of the screens and can see Midoriya and Katara are both about to approach the building the fake bomb is in. She then looked over to where Iida and Bakugou are…
"Hey, 'Chako?" Tsuyu said to her.
"Huh? Oh, uh, yeah, Tsu?" Ochako turned her attention to the frog girl.
Tsuyu then looked at her for a moment, blinking once...until saying, "You're kind of worried, aren't you?"
"Eh!?" Ochako flinched back, "W-What do you mean!?"
"Worried?" Mina asked as she went up to Ochako, "About what?"
"W-Wait, I-wha-I wasn't worried about anything!" Ochako tried to assure.
"You sure? You seem to be looking at the monitors very intently," Tsuyu explained.
"I mean..." Ochako lowered her head with a sigh, "Okay...I guess I kind of am a little worried."
"Really? Well, I'll ask again, about what? This is all just a training exercise!" Mina reassured.
"Well, yeah, I know that, but...while I was in the physical part of the entrance exam, I had to share the exam with a lot of students. And they all got some points out of how they used their Quirks...Bakugou was one of them."
Mina and Tsuyu blinked.
"Oh...you mean Bakugou was in one of the areas you were in?" Tsuyu asked.
"Yeah..." Ochako puffed her cheeks out cutely, "He was blasting robots all over the place. He wasn't even concerned about the people that were around him when he was using his Quirk. It was like he was trying to get points by destroying just the robots."
"Wow. That sounds a little...jerkwad-ish," Mina said with her hands on her hips, an eyebrow raised.
"Huh. It seems Bakugou has the personality of a Pomeranian. He's very loud and unendearing," Tsuyu affirmed.
"Yeah. And...well, Katara and him butted heads before, and I don't know what his deal is with Midoriya, but that's what kind of gets me a little worried," Ochako admitted, "I just hope no one gets super hurt or anything."
"I wouldn't worry as much, 'Chako!" Mina said with a smile, "If anything, that Bakugou guy better watch out for Katara!"
"Yeah...in fact, I think I know how Katara stopped Bakugou from attacking Midoriya that day when we were doing our Quirk Apprehension Test. *kero*" Tsuyu theorized.
"Really?" Ochako asked in curiosity, while Mina turned her attention to Tsuyu in interest.
"Yeah. I think Katara controlled Bakugou's blood," Tsuyu explained.
"Wha!?" Ochako and Mina exclaimed in shock.
Then a clearing of a throat from All Might, "Excuse me, students, but now is the time to start this session. If you all can look at the screens and monitor your classmates on how they'll perform, then you might learn some things and get extra bonus points if you pay attention!"
All of the students are now focusing on the screens, Ochako, Tsuyu, and Mina having forgotten their conversation to see their friends in action.
All Might was also looking at the monitor screens intently...
Okay. Midoriya, Katara, this is it. No favoritism when it comes to grading! Use your wits and knowledge to outwit your faux enemies!
With that said, All Might started the session through the speaker.
"Antipersonnel Battle Training. Begin!"
...Now it was time.
Midoriya and Katara
"Begin!"
The two teens both flinched at All Might's voice through the speakers as they were in front of the building they were supposed to infiltrate.
"O-Okay, well...let's go!" Midoriya nodded to Katara.
"Right," Katara nodded as well.
Midoriya and Katara rushed to the building to approach the double doors, but Midoriya stopped in front of them abruptly, letting Katara also stop just behind him.
"Wait..." Midoriya muttered, "They could be expecting us to enter through these doors."
"Oh...yeah, you're right," Katara nodded, "Should we try to go through a window?"
"I think that would be wise," Midoriya agreed.
They went around the building to get over to a far window, which luckily, since this was a mock city, they didn't need to bust any of them as the windows didn't have any coverings on them.
"Well, glad they made this easy for us," Katara muttered.
"Heh, yeah," Midoriya then turned to Katara, "Let me go first. Just in case Kacchan comes blasting through."
Katara blinked and smirked, "I can take care of whatever Bakugou throws at me, so you don't have to worry about my safety."
"U-Uh, I-I-I mean, I wasn't trying to say you weren't capable of fighting anyone! I was just, w-well, I was just, I was just trying to be nice!" Midoriya stuttered in a panic.
Now feeling bad for letting him misunderstand what she meant, Katara said, "Whoa, hey, Midoriya, I was just kidding around. I mean, I can take care of him, but I was just making a comment. It wasn't anything malicious," she then smiled, "But I do thank you for the kind gesture."
"Oh, uh...o-okay!" Midoriya felt relieved, "...But, do you want to go first, or...?"
Katara snickered, "Hey, you can go first. No worries."
"Oh, uh, okay..." Midoriya then turned to the window and climbed up through it.
As soon as Katara went inside the building through the window as well, they were both inside, the interior being bland and generic, which is fitting of a mock building.
They walked up the hall, looking around their surroundings for anyone that could come around the corner.
"There's a lot of blind corners," Midoriya muttered to Katara.
"Yeah..." Katara muttered.
...They kept walking, both quiet as they trekked through the halls. They cautiously turned around a corner, and seeing that no one was there or coming to them, they proceeded to keep going...
...The silence was getting to Midoriya and Katara.
I still can't regulate One for All. So I can't use it directly against anyone. One hundred percent would probably...well, no, it could kill them, and me as well, I would think. All I got is my natural strength and Katara's water manipulation Quirk...we'll have to make due wit-...wait...water...yesterday, Kacchan was stopped by some force...and Katara's arms were up in the air...
Midoriya paused in his steps, near an intersecting hallway.
Wait a second...blood has...ninety percent water in it...could...could Katara have...
"Uh, Midoriya? You okay?" Katara wondered, a little concerned.
"...Katara, did you...control Bakugou's blood yesterday?" Midoriya asked her, not facing her.
Eyes widening on that, Katara went silent for a second...and answered, "Yeah...I can also control water in the blood...and he was going to attack you, so I had to stop him somehow."
Midoriya turned to now face Katara, his expression neutral.
"You...probably shouldn't have done that to him," he told her.
Katara looked at him oddly. "What? You're telling me that you didn't want me to save you from Bakuogu's temper tantrum?"
"Oh, uh, no, I-I meant...well, first of all, our teacher could've done something to prevent that from happening I would think, but as for Bakugou...it would...well, it would hurt his confidence," Midoriya said awkwardly with a sheepish sweatdrop.
The waterbender blinked at him. "...You got to stop caring about what this guy thinks, Midoriya."
"I mean, well, it's more like...he might think you'll pose a threat to him or something."
"A threat?" Katara raised an eyebrow. She frowned, "He better think that."
"N-No! I mean, it's just, he, well, he-"
"Look, Midoriya, I don't care if I'm going to upset him. He needs to grow up. And if he messes with any of my friends, then I will freeze him solid!" Katara said determinedly.
"I'll hold you to that!" said a in brash voice.
Katara's eyes widened, while Midoriya quickly looked behind him.
Bakugou jumped around the right corner and was about to swing his left hook at Midoriya!
"Get down!" Midoriya said as he leaped at Katara, bringing her down with him. Bakugou's swipe at Midoriya missed, but it caused an explosion as his Quirk hit and damaged the wall next to them.
BOOOM!
"A sneak attack!" Mineta exclaimed.
"Whoa! That's a pretty low move, Bakugou! Sneak attacks are unmanly!" Kirishima also exclaimed.
"Wow! Midori dodged that one!" Mina said in excitement.
"Yeah. He also brought down Katara so she won't be hit as well," Tsuyu nodded.
"Oh wow! That was close!" Ochako said in relief.
"It's all part of a valid strategy! This is a practical experience!" All Might told the students. However, he was a little concerned for Katara and Midoriya...
I hope this won't end badly...I don't know too much about Young Midoriya and Young Bakugou's relationship, but from what I see from Bakugou, he has a huge ego. And from what Katara did to him at the Quirk Apprehension Test, his ego might be bruised a bit...I hope he doesn't go after her in a rage...in Young Kirishima's words, that would be unmanly. I can only hear what they're saying though...I hope Katara won't do anything drastic, like beat him senselessly, or whip him into submission. Maybe even using her bloodbending to...egad, don't go down that road!
After the explosion, Midoriya stood back up, with half of his mask blown off as he was helping Katara up as well.
"Are you okay?" Midoriya asked Katara.
"Yeah..." Katara shook the shock off of her and glared at Bakugou, "Hey! You could've hurt us, ya know!?"
"So, you'll freeze me solid, huh?" Bakugou stood there in the dust of the debris that he created. His back was facing her, and soon he turned around to face them. "Tell me this: did Deku say anything about me?"
Katara scowled at him for a moment, but Midoriya answered for him, "I didn't say anything, Kacchan! I really didn't say anything!"
Bakugou sneered at Midoriya, "Tch! Okay, if that's true, then you lied to her about your fuckin' hidden Quirk!"
Midoriya froze, unsure how to answer that.
But Katara answered him as she exclaimed, "He didn't lie! It was dormant and it came to him in due time!"
I really do need to talk to Midoriya about my knowledge of One for All.
Bakugou just glared at them, "Dormant, huh?" he directed his glare at Katara, "Well, I get the feeling you know a lot more. Also, you're the one that controlled my whole body that day, weren't you!?"
Katara glared back. "That I did."
The blonde gritted his teeth, the anger boiling in him. "I knew it. In that case, I'm taking you down first!"
He burst forward and reared back his right arm to try and strike Katara. Katara gathered some water quickly to try and freeze him, but then...
Midoriya jumped in and grabbed Bakugou's right arm as he was about to strike her!
"What!?" Bakugou's eyes widened.
Katara's eyes also widened.
Midoriya then used his strength to maneuver and flip Bakugou on his back, slamming him onto the ground!
WHAM!
Letting go of the stunned Bakugou, Midoriya got into a battle stance and faced him with a fierce glare. "Kacchan! You better not use your Quirk to actually hurt anyone! That will get you disqualified!"
Bakugou got back up and looked at Midoriya in shock...but soon it went back into anger, "You..."
"I always know you go for a right hook when you attack! It's part of my analysis notebook! The one you blew up and tossed out the window!" Midoriya exclaimed.
Katara looked on at Midoriya in awe but also heard about the notebook.
Analysis notebook? And...Bakugou blew it up and threw it out the window?
"I'm not going to be your punching bag anymore, Kacchan! I am going to be a Hero!" Midoriya declared.
Hearing that, Katara had a lot of thoughts going through her mind.
Punching bag? What!? Just what is their relationship?! How far back do they know each other?!
Bakugou gritted his teeth in frustration, "You sprout that shit coming out of your mouth...you can't even stop shaking! You're too scared to face me!"
Indeed, Midoriya was shaking, but he stood firm as he could, not afraid.
"I may be scared, but I'm not going to let you bully anyone else! You call me Deku all the time, well, I'm gonna be the Deku who always does his best!" Midoriya yelled out to him.
Katara briefly thought back to the conversation that she and Ochako had yesterday.
Well, I kind of thought he meant Dekiru, like "You can do it!".
...Dekiru...
Bakugou sneered, "You know what? First you got a Quirk, then you're friends with this bitch, and NOW you're standing up to me!?" he snarled, "You really PISS ME OFF!"
Before Katara could get her water out, there was a sound coming through. The transceiver that Bakugou has in his ear rung out.
"Hey, Bakugou! Update me on the situation! What's happening over there!?"
Bakugou tapped his transceiver and barked at him, "Shut up and keep watch on the bomb! I'm going to wreak some Heroes!"
"What!? Bakugou, please refrain from whatever emotions you have! And I advise you not to hurt Katara! ...U-Um, and Midoriya as well! I-I mean, w-...wait, am I being in character as a Villain!?"
"Bah!" Bakugou cut off the transceiver. "I'll just deal with you first, Deku, and then the Water Brat!"
Midoriya and Katara both took battle stances, each of them thinking different thoughts.
I hope Midoriya can use One for All without hurting himself...damn it, just don't do anything risky, Midoriya! Katara.
Oh crap! Okay, I pissed off Bakugou, and I can't use my Quirk at all...maybe. I don't know! I just need to think about how Katara and I are supposed to ace this exercise! I can only hope Katara can fair well against Bakugou! Midoriya.
Bakugou then swung his hands back and propelled forward, straight toward Midoriya. Then, swinging his right arm, he stopped his motion and swung a rearing left kick straight at his head. However, Midoriya then got the capture tape and swung it around his leg, ducking and as he swings the tape to his left in a circle, twisting him around as he threw Bakugou to his left at the wall.
WHAM!
Slamming against the wall, Bakugou fell to the ground.
"Katara! Run! I'll take care of him! You need to get to Iida and the fake bomb!" Midoriya exclaimed to her.
Katara looked at Midoriya in shock.
What!? He's going to fight him on his own!?
"...No!" Katara told him, "I'm gonna help you fight him!"
Shit! How can I get it through her!? Midoriya thought frantically.
"You need to get to the bomb! If you can secure the bomb, then we can automatically win this exercise!" Midoriya reasoned with her.
Katara stood rigid, trying to decide what she should do.
I can't just leave him here with this jerkwad! Who knows what he'll do!?
"You two will NOT BEAT ME!" Bakugou yelled out to them, letting them avert their attention back to him.
Bakugou jumped and reared both of his arms and threw them at the two. Midoriya and Katara jumped out of the way, letting Bakugou hit and blow up the wall in front of him.
BOOOOOM!
The force of the explosion blew both of the teens away in separate directions, letting them skid and roll on the ground.
"Oh no!" Ochako exclaimed in concern.
"Whoa!" Mina also exclaimed, "That Bakugou guy is not messing around!"
"Wow..." Tsuyu then looked over at All Might, "Hey, All Mights-sensei? Maybe you should step in?"
Kirishima also added, "Yeah! I think Bakugou is too serious in his Villain role!"
All Might looked at the screens, debating if he should...
"...No. They have to see what's it like on the battlefield when facing Villains. Even if this a mock test, it would be unfair if I came in to stop the situation when they can try and stop it."
The rest of the kids fell silent after hearing that.
However, All Might was thinking...
Come on, Midoriya and Katara...
Katara staggered as she got up, looking at their enemy at the moment. Bakugou was looking at Midoriya, his back turned against Katara.
Midoriya was on the other side of the hall on the ground, his back against the wall as he got up sluggishly. He kept his glare at Bakugou, while Bakugou just glared at him.
The blonde sneered at him, "Must've been pretty funny, huh? Hiding your so-called flashy Quirk all this time and tricking me!? HUH!?"
What is this jerk's deal? Katara thought as she kept quiet. I might have an advantage...should I use…
Katara looked down at her hands briefly.
...Maybe I could bloodbend him just enough to toss him around.
She didn't want to use her bloodbending, not just yet. Only when it's for dire emergencies, but this seemed like an emergency enough as it is, if Bakugou is going through with harming Midoriya.
I have to use it. This calls for it!
Katara shot her arms at Bakugou, letting her chi concentrate through her bending to activate her bloodbending...
...When nothing was happening. Bakugou was starting to walk menacingly towards Midoriya, her bloodbending not affecting him.
Katara's eyes widened in shock.
What!? It's...wait, then...it does work on a full moon!? But wait, it was daytime! Is it...because I'm inside a building or...?
"Well!? What do you have to say about that, Deku!?" Bakugou snarled at Midoriya as he advanced toward him.
Midoriya retorted back, "I wouldn't hide it from you, Kacchan! But as of right now, what I said back at Aldera, I take it all back!"
Bakugou paused.
"What?" the blonde's eyes widened in shock a little bit, tone dangerously low.
"You heard me! I take it all back! I am going to compete with you and be even better than you!" Midoriya exclaimed at him boldly.
...Bakugou's eye twitched, his face expressing pure silent rage.
It was then Midoriya thought he should've probably waited on saying that part.
It doesn't matter! I'm ready! I'm pumped up! Bring it on, Kacchan! Fuck, I am SO DEAD!
"Deku...I will CRUSH you." Bakugou growled.
Midoriya, even as he was still shaking, stood his ground.
"...You know what?" Bakugou said as he raised his right arm up, "I think I stored enough sweat in my gauntlet to do this attack."
Confused, Midoriya left his guard down just a little.
"You know my palms secrete something like nitroglycerin, right? That's how I make my explosions. Assuming they honored my design requests, the gauntlet that's been storing up that fluid..." Bakugou flipped the pointy tip of the trigger of his grenade-looking gauntlet, exposing a pull switch.
"Huh? Is Katara trying to use her Quirk on Bakugou?" Tsuyu wondered.
"What?" Kaminari turned to Tsuyu, "Isn't her Quirk like, Water Manipulation or something?"
"Well, I think Tsuyu was saying that Katara was going to use her Quirk to manipulate Bakugou's blood, I think," Mina explained.
"What? Whoa," Jirou blinked, "For real?"
"Blood manipulation?" Yaoyorozu asked in shock, "That...sounds very uncomfortable from the way it sounds."
Todoroki blinked at that news and looked on at the screen at Katara.
...Hm. She's a lot stronger than I thought.
"Wow...uh, yikes," Kaminari shivered, "That sounds kind of gross."
"Yeah, but it looks like Katara hasn't used it yet on Bakugou!" Ochako noticed, "I wonder why she can't do it now?"
All Might looked on at the scene on one of the monitors...
Huh...I wonder why Katara's bloodbending isn't working? She used it on Young Bakugou yesterday, but it seems she can't now. I think she says something about how it works fully when there's a full moon, but...
Then, All Might remembered...
...Wait a minute. The moon was actually out yesterday. It was a clear and cloudless sunny day...huh...maybe since today Katara is in a building, the moon isn't helping her bloodbend...I mean, that's how it works...right?
"Uh, hey, All Might-sensei?" Kirishima interrupted All Might's thoughts, "Bakugou doesn't look like he's gonna cool down anytime soon."
"Huh?" All Might looked at the screen.
Hearing Bakugou's explanation made him freeze.
Wait, that kid is not gonna...?
"Bakugou!" All Might exclaimed into the speaker, "Stop it now, kid!"
Katara's shock was disrupted, as she heard All Might's voice through the speakers.
What? What is Bakugou going to do?
"Are you trying to kill him!?" said All Might's voice through the speakers.
That was enough for Katara to keep moving.
Katara rushed over to Bakugou and summoned her water from her canteen, making it into a whip and swinging it at him.
However, Bakugou ducked!
He then spun on his left heel and faced her, springing forward with his left hand propelling him at Katara as he swung his right hand at her to fire an explosion at her.
The waterbender, though, quickly gathered her water and created an ice wall to block the explosion.
BOOOOOM!
The blast sent Katara back, making her land on her back as she rolled away from the explosion. Upon getting her bearings quickly, she shook her head and got up, the ringing still in her ears. She focused her glare on Bakugou, who was running up to her.
"STAY OUTTA THIS!" Bakugou yelled out as he charged at her.
Katara then gathered her remaining water, which the ice particles were behind Bakugou, and pulled the ice, which she turned into partially freezing water, and splashed the water from Bakugou's back, freezing his entire body.
"GACK!" Bakugou exclaimed, feeling his entire skin go cold as he froze in place in mid-run. His palm was almost near Katara's face as he was frozen on the spot.
The waterbender smirked haughtily, "Hmph! How do you like me now?"
"CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-CH-!" Bakugou shivered in his frozen spot.
"And just to make sure you stay there," Katara moved her hands around to make the whole front side of his body freeze up, thanks to her bending the ice to spread around him.
"F-F-F-F-F-F-F-FUCK!" Bakugou cursed loudly as he shivered from the cold.
"Whoa! Katara!" Midoriya came up to her and stood in front of Bakugou. "You totally froze him!"
"Yep! It's part of my Quirk!" Katara smiled big, proud of herself.
"Wow...that's awesome!" Midoriya turned to Katara, "In fact, I think we have enough time to get to the bomb!"
"Oh! Yeah, you're right!" Katara almost forgot about that! "Let's go!"
"Uh, r-right!" Midoriya then turned to Bakugou, "Um, sorry about this, Kacchan. Hopefully, Katara will get you out."
"Pfft! No way," Katara said with her eyes rolling.
"Well, um...I said 'hopefully'."
"I'll think about it after we win."
"Uh, o-okay," Midoirya sweatdropped.
"Come on! We need to face Iida!" Katara told Midoriya as she ran ahead of him.
"U-Uh, right! Sorry again, Kacchan!" Midoriya said to Bakugou as he followed Katara, leaving Bakugou in his frozen spot.
Bakugou...could only seethe.
They...She...SHE BEAT ME!? SHE FUCKIN' BEAT ME!? NO! No, no, no! She hasn't beaten me, she hasn't! SHE FUCKING HASN'T! I'm stronger than her! I'm stronger! I'M STRONGER! I'M FUCKING-DAMN STRONG, NOT HER! NO! I...WILL NOT...LOSE!
...The ice was chipping away...
"Whoa!" Ochako gasped, "Katara completely froze Bakugou!"
"Wow!" Mina exclaimed as she smiled, "Katara rocks!"
"Yeah. *kero* She's certainly full of surprises." Tsuyu nodded in agreement.
"Whoa! Totally manly! I-I mean, uh, womanly?" Kirishima corrected himself as he thought about what he said.
"Yeah. That Katara gal really put that loudmouth Bakugou in his place," Jirou said, impressed.
"Yeah! I mean, that Bakugou kid was the highest scorer in the Entrance Exam, right?" Sero asked anyone.
"Wow! If that's the case, then Katara must be really strong!" Tooru said.
"I wonder, though, when is that Midoriya boy going to use his Quirk?" Yaoyorozu asked anyone.
"I don't know, but he's faring pretty well without his Quirk," Kaminari said, "I got to admit, that's really brave to go forth without using it for so long."
"...That Katara gal was hot doing that," Mineta shamefully said.
Todoroki looked at the screen where Katara used her waterbending on Bakugou to freeze him...
"...Huh. She is a lot stronger than I thought," Todoroki muttered.
Meanwhile, All Might looked on at the screen where the action occurred.
Wow...way to go Katara! And Midoriya didn't have to use One for All! Huh...this could actually be a walk in the park here!
"I can't believe Bakugou cut off the transceiver!" Iida mumbled, "That scoundrel...I really hope Katara and Midoriya are alright...Bakugou seems like a bomb that will go off if any fuse is lit...hm. I'm guarding a fake bomb and I made a bomb analogy...fitting...still, I can only hope Midoriya and Katara will fair well against him."
Iida stood there as he guarded the bomb, back facing away from the entrance as he crossed his arms and looked up at the fake bomb.
"...Well, in the meantime, I guess I could fix up my evil persona. Though it would bring shame to the Iida family name, this training will help me become a better Hero! I must commit!" Iida declared.
Then, as Katara and Midoriya quietly went up the stairs and entered the highest-leveled room, they spotted Iida, making them hide behind some support columns. They observe Iida as he's taking his role as a Villain into account.
"To become a Hero, I must be cloaked in darkness! I must become..." Iida then said in a corny over-the-top evil accent, "...the ultimate evil! Mwahahahahahaha!"
...Midoriya blinked, while Katara just looked at Iida...and couldn't help but snickered.
"Hm?" Iida turned around, "Who goes there!?" he said in his 'evil' accent.
The two hid behind the columns, but Katara was trying not to giggle and give away her position.
"...Hmm..." Iida then dashed in between the columns where Katara and Midoriya were, startling them.
"AH!" Katara yelped.
"ACK!" Midoriya also yelped out.
Iida sped past them and turned around to face them, skidding backward to a stop.
"Aha! It seems I found you two in hiding! You must've escaped my comrade's clutches! Well, now I shall finish the job of capturing you two! Prepare to be duped by me, your worst enemy!" Iida said with grandeur, his arms wide and dramatic.
Midoriya was wondering what to do in this situation, but Katara couldn't contain the giggles and laughed.
"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Katara guffawed, "Oh, Iida, that's just too cute!"
"...O-Oh?" Iida blushed underneath his mask as he blinked, "Y-You think I'm-wait a minute! Pure evil is not cute, Heroine!"
Katara let out another laugh, "Pfft! Hahahahahahaaaa! I-I'm sorry, Iida, but, it's just, it's too adorable! Like you sound so funny doing it!"
"..." Iida now blushed tenfold, "Oh...w-well, I...uh, I-I-I was just-wha-wa-wait a second! I mean, s-stop insulting-uh or flattering the enemy!"
Midoriya just looked on, eyes blinking wide with confusion as he wondered what the heck was going on...
Katara, though, giggled and smirked as she put her hands on her hips, "Well, I guess I should be serious then, huh? I mean, you are the enemy, while we are the Heroes, so I need to act like it, right?"
"U-Uh, um, yes!" Iida went back into character, "You must submit to my evil deeds as a Villain, as you a Hero shall try to defeat my devious pla-"
"Sorry, Iida!" Katara said as she summoned water from her open canteen and threw some water at Iida, freezing it and encasing him into frozen ice.
"ACK!" Iida tried to shield himself, but it was futile as he stay frozen in place.
"Aaand, done!" Katara said as she lowered her arms when the water was completely frozen on Iida, especially as it spread in the engine of his legs.
Midoriya just looked at the display of bending in awe, stunned that it took just a second.
"Uh...okay then," Midoriya then blinked as he realized, "Wait...then that means...w-we won!"
"Huh?" Katara looked at Midoriya with a questionable look.
"We captured Iida and Kacchan, so we win!" Midoriya explained.
"Oh..." Katara grinned, "Hey, yeah, we did!"
"Whoa! Just like that, huh?" Mina blinked in amazement.
"Wow. Poor Iida. *kero* " Tsuyu said.
"Wow! Woohoo! Go Katara and Midoriya!" Ochako cheered.
"Actually, the Midoriya guy didn't do too much..." Kaminari said.
"Indeed," Yaoyorozu nodded, "It would seem Katara is the more capable fighter."
"I mean, the Midoriya guy held his own a little bit," Kirishima added, "Still, yeah, he didn't do much."
All Might looked on at the scene, proud of Katara, but also feeling pity for Midoriya.
Katara, you did great! Excellent work! However...while Midoriya did do well in evading Bakugou, he still needs to learn how to use One for All...I don't want to do this to the boy, and while he did well overall in the exercise and hasn't been harmed too much, I need to grade him...probably a C-...or...a C+...maybe?
Jirou looked at the screen where Bakugou was frozen in place...except...
Her eyes went wide, "Whoa! Hey, where did that Bakugou guy go?"
"Huh!?" the kids looked at the screen.
"What?" All Might looked at the screen as well.
"Hey, wait!" Mina said, "I see him rushing through the other cameras!"
"What!?" the teens then can see Bakugou going through the halls in a rush as he was going up...up the very top floor...
The Pro Hero could only think of one thing as his eyes widened while his grin was shaking in worry.
...Oh no...
"We won!" Midoriya cheered.
"Yahoo!" Katara also cheered.
But then, All Might's voice came into the speakers.
"A-Actually, um...Bakugou escaped."
Katara looked up at wherever the speakers were in shock. "What!?"
"W-What?" Midoriya exclaimed in shock as well.
"Uh...yeah...he's coming up right about-"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!
Bakugou propelled himself up and over the frozen Iida, shooting himself forward and heading to his intended target...
He reared his right hand back to strike that person...
That person being Katara.
Katara froze in place, not literally, but Bakugou was coming in fast and she couldn't conjure up some water in time (that, and she may have used all of it at this point), making her stand there in shock.
When Bakugou was about to land the blow on Katara...
...Midoriya jumped in front of her!
Shielding his face with his arms in an 'x' position, Midoriya jumped in front of Katara to shield the explosion that was coming from Bakugou.
BOOOOOM!
Bakugou made the impact.
Katara and Midoriya were flung back, the former hit by the latter as she landed on the floor, her whole body rolling on it as her hat for her costume came off, letting her hair swish around as she was blown back. She got up, leaning on the floor as she shook her head to get her bearings.
"KATARA! MIDORIYA!" Iida yelled out, "I know I should be acting like a Villain, but that looked really painful!"
As for Midoriya, he was on the floor, his arms burnt while on his back, gritting his teeth as he tried to get back up from the blow.
Bakugou, however, after that attack, made his way slowly toward Katara, passing Midoirya, not even paying him any attention.
When Midoriya sat up, he saw Bakugou's expression.
His eyes widened.
Bakugou...looked pissed.
His eyes were crazed and determined at the same time, his scowl as hard as the concrete they are on. His fists were clenched tightly, enough to make his knuckles white if he wasn't wearing his gloves. And the way he walked looked like he was on a mission...
Oh no! Midoriya thought. Kacchan is...really upset!
As Katara looked up to see Bakugou coming up to her, she tried to stand, but the shock made her struggle for a bit until she finally found balance. She gritted her teeth in resolve as she got into a waterbending stance.
Bakugou then stopped in front of Katara, his expression in a fierce scowl.
"You...will not...beat me." Bakugou seethed.
"This isn't a competition you know!" Katara exclaimed at him, "This is all for us to learn how to be good Heroes!"
"Exactly. Heroes win. So I don't lose."
Appalled by that, Katara lashed out, "You think this is some sort of competition!? What are you even here for in the first place!?"
"What do you think? To be the BEST. Heroes don't lose, and I will NOT lose to you."
Katara scowled at him herself, "You want to know what you are!? You're just a punk who has the fattest ego in the world! You're nowhere near a Hero and you never will be if you keep acting like this!"
"Shut up! Shut your damn mouth! I will not lose to you, and I will DEFINITELY NOT lose to that little punk Deku!"
"His name is Midoriya! What do you have against him!? He wants to be a Hero, like everyone else here! And for some illogical reason, he says you inspire him! Are you that conceited into thinking you're better than everyone else because of whatever reason you have!? What, is it your Quirk!? Is that all it ever is!? While it may be powerful, you need to humble yourself and know that there are people out there that teach you a lesson on manners and on how to behave! You think you can beat All Might with that kind of view!? Well then, you're dead wrong! In fact, All Might is still a better Hero than you will ever be! And you know what!? Midoriya is an even WAY better Hero than you ever will be!"
"SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Bakugou yelled at her as he reared his hand back.
"KACCHAN!"
Both Bakugou and Katara paused, turning their attention to Midoriya.
The verdant-haired teen was standing as he positioned himself, looking like he was ready to fight. His expression was hard as he glared at Bakugou.
"Don't...you...hurt her!" Midoriya seethed.
Bakugou just stares at him...until he turns to face him and began to walk up to him, leaving Katara behind him.
Midoriya stood his ground.
Bakugou sneered at him, "Just what the fuck can you do, Deku? Huh? You haven't shown your stupid damn fancy Quirk yet. In fact, don't think I'm still pissed at you for keeping that a secret for all those years. You were mocking me this whole time, hiding it from me. Ever since we were kids, you were always making fun of me! You've always had!"
"You're wrong, Kacchan!"
"YOU WERE LOOKING DOWN ON ME!"
"NO! It's because you're so awesome, that I wanna beat you! I wanna win! I wanna beat YOU!"
"SHUT UP!" Bakugou yelled out, stopping in front of Midoriya, his fists clenching in anger.
"IT'S TRUE! I WANNA SHOW YOU THAT I CAN!"
Bakugou stared at him...he then said, "Then use, your, fucking, QUIRK!" Bakugou then took a right-arm swing at Midoriya...
BOOOOM!
...But Midoriya ducked it!
He swiped his leg to hit Bakugou's legs, making him go off balance and trip his own feet.
"GUH!" Bakugou exclaimed.
He landed on the floor on his stomach, stunned.
And then, Midoriya got on him from behind and quickly wrapped his arms around Bakugou's arms, securing him and trapping him.
"WHAT THE-!? DAMN IT, DEKU! GET OFF ME!" Bakugou exclaimed.
"Katara! Secure the bomb!" Midoriya called out to her.
Katara, who was watching the whole thing, jumped in surprise.
The bomb!
"Oh! Uh, right!" Katara went over to the bomb.
"NO! GET OFF ME! GET OFF ME, DEKU!" Bakugou hollered.
Katara was near the bomb, and then, using the last bit of water in her canteen, she soaked it in ice.
...The teens looked on in awe and were a bit dumbfounded as they stared at the screen at what was happening.
"...They...I mean, I think they won this time!" Ochako exclaimed.
"Uh, y-yeah...I, uh, I think they did!" Mina also exclaimed with a grin.
"Wow. *kero* That was almost kind of climatic, not gonna lie," Tsuyu threw her two cents.
"Whoa! Midoriya did a suplex on Bakugou! That's really manly, bro!" Kirishima cheered.
"Huh. Yeah, that Midoriya guy knew what to do," Kaminari observed, "Even without his Quirk. That is pretty hardcore."
"Hmm..." Yaoyorozu hummed as she looked on at the screen where Midoriya was holding onto Bakugou, "...I don't know why he wouldn't use his Quirk, but...he did get the job done."
Todoroki looked at the screen where Midoriya, Bakugou, and Katara were. His gaze was on Katara...
...I have a challenge on my hands.
"Wow! Awesome!" Mineta exclaimed...he then muttered, "I want one of the girls to do a suplex on me."
All Might looked on and couldn't help but actually smile.
Well done, you two. And Midoriya, kid...you get an A+.
He spoke into the mike.
"HERO TEAM WINS!"
End of Chapter 15
And I guess I'll stop here? LOL, I mean, I feel like it's a good place to stop. XP
But yeah, I hope I got the all characters' personalities down! And I hope this fight is okay! I try to deviate from canon as best as I can. :O But yeah, tell me how I did! :D I'll get to writing the next chapter, but it'll be a little while, as I think I want to write other chapters from my stories. Either way, I know what to write in the next one! 8D
