Chapter 11: Old Scores

To say he had cut it close when he got home would have been more than an understatement, having only just got into his room before he heard the sound of his mother's alarm go off. He had done his best to stow everything away; hiding his new ear piece in his desk and placing his clothes back in his closet. He's remembered the look his mother gave him when he entered the kitchen, looking like a fresh zombie and having to quickly manufacture a lie about not sleeping well. Which wasn't entirely false as the bright light of the class room stung at his tired eyes and forced him to shade them with his hand.

As the pain lessened his mind turned to all the questions his time in the neon district had answered but also all the new questions it posed. He'd only heard the last of the three messages he and Moya had found but the one he'd heard was fresh in his mind. John had sounded frantic, breathing heavy as if he'd just run a marathon and he mentioned a man named Kessler, the name alone sending a shiver down her spine. Whoever he was, he knew he had to be important. And then there was that sickness that those people were suffering from. How many were already infected, how far had it spread? As he looked around he didn't see anyone that was pale or coughing so a small part of him hoped that what Moya said had been true.

And the thought of the sickness then turned his mind again to its possible creators as the image of that white hooded reaper came to mind. When he had first fought them all those weeks ago he'd thought they were just a street gang but he was wrong. They were armed, organized and like that message said; preparing for something big.

But for now he was just a regular high schooler and his thoughts of the night would have to be picked up later as he looked over to were Tsu was sitting. She looked so different now, not unrecognizable but anyone could tell something had changed. But she seemed to be doing well with her change and he was happy for that but their conversation had given him a lot to think about. He'd always wanted a quirk but he had never thought about how he might have gotten one that actively hurt him.

And after all that happened for him to get his powers, he guessed the old saying was true. "Grass is always greener on the other side"

"Hey Izuku" Mineta said, waving a hand in his face to get his attention.

"You notice she looks different, like really different" he asked, motioning his head towards Tsu, who seemed to be thinking about something.

Izuku nodded his head "I'll tell you about it after school" he told him as memories of their night together came to him. He'd been surprised himself by how he acted, the old Midoriya would have never been able to kiss a girl without warning, too busy tripping over his own words. But that Midoriya was gone, after all he'd been through he had learned a valuable lesson. Life was short, he liked her and she liked him back and that was all he needed to know.

I AM HERE, coming through the door like a hero! The bombastic voice of All Might said as the classroom door burst open and all eyes turned wide with excitement as they saw him.

Izuku stared in surprise as anxiety filled him, a feeling that up until a few weeks ago he never would have had when seeing the number one hero. He remembered well the last time he had seen him; his large figure standing above him with his hand on his shoulder as he told him it wasn't his fault.

He'd had no idea that All Might would be a teacher as he struggled to think of how to act.

"Hey Izuku; isn't that his silver age suit" Mineta asked, sitting in his seat beside him.

"Yeah… it is" he answered back not taking his eyes off him as he strode in, red cape fluttering behind him.

"Welcome boys and girls to the single most important class here at UA high. Heroing 101, here you will learn at that it means to be a hero and fight in the name of good" he announced, pumping up the whole class for what he was planning.

"And for your first class we're gonna jump right into the thick of it with battle training" he hollered as the class erupted with enthusiasm. But some of their enthusiasm was darker than others as Bakugo turned to look at Izuku, his face a sadistic grin.

"And one of the keys to being a hero is looking good" he said as pieces of the wall began to slide out, revealing containers numbered one to thirty. What was inside those containers were their hero costumes and as everyone else hurried to see how their costume designs had panned out, Izuku clutched tightly to his school bag and the contents within.


Izuku stared at his new green jumpsuit, remembering the smile on his mother's face when she had gifted the home made hero suit to him this morning. She had apparently seen some of his old designs in his notebooks and though he was deeply thankful it made him redouble his efforts to hides his things. Clutching it tightly in his hands it was so different to the costume he'd used to stalk through the neon but perhaps that was for the best. He didn't want to use the same costume and get spotted; it wouldn't take much for someone to put two and two together about his identity.

"That's your costume" Kirishima questioned, leaning on the lockers as he eyed the jumpsuit "seems pretty plain for someone with a quirk like yours"

"Indeed; it is not flashy at all" the French kid he had learned was name Aoyama said.

"It was a gift from my mom" Izuku answered, happy that he was blessed to have a mother like her.

"Dang, that's nice" Kirishima said with a fanged smile, nodding his head as he turned away. After that the boys filed out of the changing room, each eager to use their costumes. Izuku though was the last and with one final breath put it on, though he had decided against wearing the headpiece and mask, thinking it look a little too much like All Might as the sound of the zipper echoed loudly in the now empty room.

Opening the door to the hallway and turning to his right, he saw what could have possibly been one of the strangest things he had ever seen. Or rather what he didn't see as the door to the girls changing room opened and out walked a pair of floating gloves and shoes.

"What the…" he questioned to himself, his tired mind instinctively unleashing a radar pulse and getting way more than he had bargained for.

"I am so sorry!" he nearly screamed, immediately turning away and raising a hand to shield his vision. But then the fact that his radar pulse was omni-directional and he could see her even without looking where she was reared its head.

The invisible girl quickly turned around, a mask of confusion on her face as she watched what looked to her as a random outburst.

"What are you talking about, sorry for what" she asked, cocking her head to the side and looking thoroughly confused over why he was acting the way he was.

"I…I can see you" he admitted, trying to sound as apologetic as he could as he watched the look on her face change from confusion to one of pure shock and then to one of anger.

"You're lying" she accused, pointing a shaky finger at his chest, eyes wide and lips pursed.

"I promise I'm not" he pleaded, hands still raised and eyes facing away. "My quirk lets me see the bio-electricity inside people. I can see you…clear as day" he admitted, swallowing hard as he watched her heartrate climb higher and higher, her eyes shifting around and looking for something he couldn't guess.

"How many fingers am I holding up" she asked, ripping off both of her gloves and lifting her bare right hand.

"Five" he answered truthfully as the invisible girl pulled her hand back as if it had been touched by fire. She then quickly put both hands behind her back and asked again. And he told her the truth; 2, 7, 5, 10, 1, 8 giving her answers in rapid succession until her shoulders slumped and her mouth hung open.

"Oh my God… someone can see, you can see me" she nearly whimpered as she looked like she was about to hyperventilate.

"I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to. I'll sit out on this exercise" he offered as he began to walk back into the changing room. He was only stopped when he felt a hand grasp his own in a tight grip. Her breathing was quick and uneven, her body shifting in place nervously before she gave him a look that was all but begging him to stay.

"Wait…what… what colour are my eyes" she gasped out, her lips quivering and tears beginning to flow down her cheeks like Twin Rivers.

Looking into her eyes and watching the electrical impulses flow to and from he honestly couldn't see what colour her eyes were. But as he saw the impulses in her tear ducts flare more and more he didn't have the heart to tell her that. "Your eyes are blue" he answered as her lips began to quiver.

"Blue … my eyes are blue" she repeated again and again like a mantra, rocking herself back and forward. Izuku didn't know what to do in a situation like this, should he comfort her, should he giver her space, should he…

That decision was made for him as the girl leapt forward and embraced him in a hug so tight it rivaled his mother's.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" she cried as she wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her body into him. Izuku froze up; the idea of a naked woman hugging him and crying making his brain stall. But even as he stood still as a statue she continued to sob into his shoulder, with only the blubbering, muffled words of thank you repeating again and again. It was only when he began to feel her slip, her legs no longer having the strength to hold herself up did he hug her back, if only to keep her from falling. Still unsure of how to handle the situation he thought back to times where he had as sad as this and memories of his mother comforting him gave him an idea of what to do.

"It's okay, it's okay" he began to repeat, holding her tight and rubbing her back in reassurance as she struggled to breathe between sobs.

They stayed like that for a long moment before she finally let go, his shoulder now completely wet. "I'm sorry about that" she said regaining some of her composer and pointing to the wet spot on his shoulder. Izuku brushed it off, more concerned about the girl in front of him than anything else.

"I'm Toru Hagakure by the way" she introduced, smiling and bringing a small sense of normalcy into this strange encounter.

"Oh… I'm Izuku Midoriya" he said, offering his hand to which she accepted and told him that she already knew his name.

They then both stood there, looking at each other and both unsure of how to proceed after everything that had just happened.

"Look what just happened…" he tried to say before Toru shook her head.

"It's okay; I won't tell the teachers if you won't" she quickly promised, nodding her head enthusiastically.

"No but… I might need to use my radar pulse again" he tried to explain before she went to pick up her gloves and Izuku had to look away again.

"I don't mind" she nearly giggled, beaming a smile so bright it was blinding "Come on they're probably waiting for us" she said as she began towards the training area, a delighted spring in her step.

Izuku was completely floored by her reaction and had no idea how he had gotten out of that situation without getting slapped. Shaking his head and thanking whatever gods there were he walked after her until the light of the sun fell on their faces. Looking around they could see they were inside one of the mock cities they had used for the entrance exam.

"Hey Midoriya, what took you so long. Love your costume by the way" Uraraka praised as she walked up to him.

"I should've been more specific about what I wanted though, this costume's skin-tight" she said, smiling sheepishly and rubbing the back of her head. Izuku though had had his fill of looking at peoples bodies, looking away and noticing Mineta walking up to them.

Izuku mood was lightened when he saw that he had thankfully taken his advice on his costume, ditching that ugly diaper looking thing and replacing it with a normal utility belt. He'd also taken his advice and had a cape in the shape of grape leaves.

"God, I love this school" Mineta said as he flashed Izuku a knowing smile to Izuku who just shook his head. He could change the costume but the man remained the same.

"Alright you bunch of newbies for today's lesson we'll be…" All Might tried to say before he was interrupted by a storm of questions ranging from the consequences of losing to whether or not Aoyama's cape looked nice.

"I wasn't finished talking" All Might said, restraining his voice as he pulled out a small notepad.

"For this training exercise; the villains have obtained a nuclear bomb and hidden it in their hide out. It'll be a six man match with three villains and three heroes. The heroes win by either capturing the villains or securing the device. Likewise the villains win by either taking down the heroes or protect the device" he said as the image of the ray sphere explosion filled his mind.

"Teams have already been preselected and battles will be decided by lots" he said as he revealed a small yellow box.

"So let's get started!"

Teams:

Team H: Tokoyami, Tsuyu, Monoma vs Team J: Sero, Kirishima, Yosetsu

Team G: Kaminari, Jiro, Ojiro vs Team C: Mineta, Momo, Pony

Team A: Izuku, Ochaco, Hagakure vs Team D: Iida, Bakugo, Reiko

Team E: Mina, Aoyama, Kamakiri vs Team F: Kaibara, Kinoko, Ibara

Team B: Shoji, Todoroki, Shihai vs Team I: Setsuna, Kendo, Juzo

When Izuku saw the teams he had forced himself to not groan in pain. They were going first and not only was he going to have to face Bakugo but he was also going to have to be with the invincible girl who he now knew was named Hagakure. It wasn't that he disliked her; it was just that after their first encounter he didn't really believe she'd want to be around him.

"Everyone else can head to the monitoring room to watch" All Might said as they began to leave with Mineta and Tsu giving knowing looks as they passed. Looking to his left he was greeted by the familiar glare of Bakugo, drilling into him.

"Yep… it's gonna be one of those days" he thought to himself as he looked back at him, unflinching which only stoked his anger further.

"Come on Izuku! Let's win this" Hagakure said, pumping her gloved fist with enthusiasm. Izuku still couldn't get on a read on her, her openness and enthusiasm appearing to contradict what had happened. But it seemed he was not going to get any kind of answer until after the fight.

After that All Might instructed Bakugo's team to enter the building and gave them a five minute timer to get ready before the heroes went in.

"Wow this place is huge, do they really expect us to remember it all" Ochaco said. "And All Might's just as cool in person as he is on tv, and he isn't even threatening us with punishment so this should be…" she was about to finish before she noticed the intense stare he was giving the building.

Izuku was focused as different plans filtered through his mind; he knew that Iida had a speed quirk, Bakugo's explosions and that Reiko girl. His mind tried to dig back to when they had their assessment test; he had seen her cover the ball in a purple glow and sending it flying nearly a kilometer away. It seemed to be some sort of telekinesis quirk like his mother's but he couldn't be certain.

And then there was how he was going to deal with Bakugo. How was he going to deal with him? From what he could tell from the building layout they had been given the inside consisted of narrow metal corridors, the perfect place for someone with a quirk like his.

"You're thinking about Bakugo aren't you" Ochaco guessed, which brought Izuku back into the real world.

"He's gonna come for me" he said as he walked forward and turned to look at both Ochaco and Hagakure. "He's dangerous, so I'm gonna lure him out he proposed as the words of Tsu rang filled his mind. If he could do that to a building sized robot than he didn't want to think about what he could do to either of them.

"Once I do you and Hagakure are going to find the bomb and secure it" he said as the two girls looked to each other.

"I'll go first; my quirk will let me sneak in with Uraraka following behind me in case I find someone" Hagakure volunteered as she pulled off her gloves and kicked off her shoes.

"Alright let's do this. But first, both of you face the wall and cover your eyes" he instructed but received a confused look from Ochaco.

"I'm going to lure him out, trust me" Izuku said and with only mild prodding from Hagakure they both walked and pressed themselves against the wall.

With less than a minute left before the match began he started coalescing energy. After he had absorbed those blast shards he had never felt more powerful and now it was time to show it. He'd just have to hit this at the right angle.


Meanwhile inside the building

"So this is the bomb, fake of course" Iida said as he tapped the cartoonish papier Mache prop with the back of his hand. "Still, even to play the role of villain doesn't sit well with me"

"The roles we play upon the stage are rarely our choice" came the monotone voice of Reiko. The silver haired woman wore a similarly coloured kimono with a puffy colour and mask that hid her mouth, though it did little to hide her dour eyes.

"Indeed, we must stay on our toes. With Midoriya on their team this will be…" Iida tried to say before Bakugo cut.

"Both of you, shut the hell up" Growled Bakugo as wisps of steam flowed off his body. His breathing could be heard even from where they we standing. "He's nothing"

"I must ask but why do you seem to hate him so much" Iida politely asked but was not replied to verbally as the temperature in the room began to increase.

"You two extras should stay in your lane and focus on the bomb. Deku is mine" he berated in a cold tone as the buzzer signaling the beginning of the training match sounded. But none of them were prepared for what came next as the windows on the room were violently shattered by an unseen force. Like rain the shards of glass fell onto the tile everyone instinctively looked outside and a familiar voice.


As the buzzer rang Izuku wasted no time, unleashing a radar pulse and seeing they were on the fifth floor and doing his best to ignore the naked forms of the girls with him. He then sent out a shockwave up the side of the building and shattered the windows on every floor. Filling his lungs he drew upon all the pain that man had caused him and Mineta and yelled.

"Hey you Blonde coward, come out here and face me!" he roared and did not have to wait long.

"Fifth floor go!" he ordered as Bakugo came rushing out of the building on jets of heat, flying straight at Izuku with the force of a rocket. Izuku barely had time to dodge, rolling to the right and letting the force of his landing carrying him further as he slammed into the street, kicking up a cloud of dust and concrete. Ochaco and Hagakure thankfully had followed the plan and were heading towards the bomb, he just needed to put his faith in them and by them time.

"Who are you calling a coward you bastard!" Bakugo screamed as he launched himself again, coming so close Izuku could see the white of his eyes as he unleashed another shockwave, Bakugo being unable to overpower it as it sent him flying through the glass of a nearby storefront.

"Young Midoriya what are you doing" All Might asked through their ear piece.

"Goading a villain out of his hideout is a perfectly sound strategy sir" he answered back as he watched where Bakugo had been flung into. He had no illusions that that would be enough to stop him and he was proven right as the slow rhythmic sound of breaking glass and heat grew closer and closer.

"You think you so smart huh" he hissed as he walked into view. "Don't think I didn't see you eyeing me during the assessment test. You're little frog bitch probably told you all about it so take a good look" he said as he lifted his right as small detonations in the shape of… Atoms went off in his hand.

"You got your quirk from that explosion, well I got something too" he continued with a sadistic grin. "I'm sure you know a lot about my powers that let me produce nitroglycerin sweat. But now I can fuse their atoms together and use that energy for my explosions. So come on then you annoying bastard, SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!"


Ochaco and Hagakure made their way through the winding corridors of the building. Like the plan had said Hagakure had taken the lead, with Ochaco following behind and using the visible ear piece in Toru's ear to know where she was.

"Do you know why Izuku said the bomb would be on the fifth floor" Ochaco asked as the snuck around another corner.

"He said that he can sense electricity, including the bio-electricity in people" Hagakure said, and though she couldn't see it sounded like she was smiling.

"Wow that's handy" Ochaco said as she thought over the growing list of powers Midoriya seemed to have access to. Their thoughts were interrupted as explosion after explosion rattled the building, lines of dust and chips of ceiling falling around them.

"I hope Midoriya's alright" Ochaco said, she hadn't really understood him when he said Bakugo was dangerous but now she was getting the idea.

"The quicker we capture the bomb, the quicker this ends come on" Hagakure urged as they began moving again. She was right, she just needed to do her best and hope Izuku can handle him.

Moving silently they finally reach the fifth floor and it was just as quiet as the last four, the tension rising with every step. Peering behind a corner she turned and whispered to Ochaco.

"I found the bomb" she whispered lightly as Ochaco looked down the hall and saw the light of day and with it the bomb. It was sitting in the middle of a large room but from where they were standing couldn't see Iida or Reiko.

"I'll go first" Toru said to which Ochaco nodded her head in agreement, after all if it ain't broke don't fix it. Moving as silently as she could along the wall to the door she peeked her head inside and saw Iida having what she thought was an entirely one sided argument with someone on the other end of his ear piece. But she still couldn't find Reiko, but as she took her first step inside her foot felt something wet and she was immediately with everything from planks of wood to metal cans. Toru shrieked in response as she fell backwards and heard the exaggerated evil laughter of Iida from behind the door.

"Is that you Hagakure HAHAHA we knew you would try to sneak inside so we devised a little road block for you involving these large oil drums" he said as Toru saw that the floor in the room was completely covered in water.

"You might be able to hide from our eyes but you cannot hide your affects upon the world" Reiko said from some unknown location inside the room.

"You are doomed heroes, the bomb is ours and we shall reign victorious AH HAHAHA" Iida continued to laugh as Toru quickly moved back.

"Well that didn't work. Any ideas" Toru asked, angered and gently rubbing the spots she had been it.

"Ochaco bit her lips as she thought; they had the room secure and anyway all but required them touching the floor… unless.

"I think I might have something" she said with a focused determination. Reaching up to her ear piece she began to speak.


"RAAAH" Bakugo bellowed as he lunged out of the store, destroying in a shower of brick and mortar with hands glowing with vicious intent. Izuku tried to use his shockwave again but Bakugo used his other hand to change his trajectory, arcing clean over the oncoming surge of energy and blasting Izuku right in the back. Izuku breathed through his teeth as his back was scorched, his muscles tensing as the explosion sent him skidding across the ground.

Izuku clenched his jaw as he used his momentum to get back up to his feet, turning and shooting a bolt of electricity back at Bakugo. Bakugo was fast, but he wasn't fast enough to dodge lightning as the electricity surged through his body and his muscles convulsed.

"Dammit; nuclear fusion. Why the hell did he have to get such a strong power!" he screamed internally as he smelt something burning and looked at his smoking back and realized to his horror that his costume had a massive hole in it, the material burned away by Bakugo's blast.

"What's the matter Deku, too scared to move or are you too busy crying over your shitty costume mommy bought for you" Bakugo mocked as he shook of the effects of the shock and set off more small explosions in his hands. "This is what true power looks like, so use whatever plans you have in that little head of yours because you'll never beat me!"

Izuku stared daggers into Bakugo, the memories and promise he'd made bringing forth an anger that burned his insides. He had tried so hard to be kind to that bastard. Taking years of abuse, taken the threats and the insults but that was it. This wasn't just for him; this was for his friend who stood by him as they suffered him together. This was for the greatest mother in the world that had to watch in silence as her son came home with smoking hair and singed clothes day after day because no one had ever held him to anything because of his stupid fucking quirk. Not his teachers, not his parents but he was going to make him pay for all of it!

"You piece of shit!" he screamed as he charged the blonde, Bakugo stunned for only a moment as his mocking grin turned soured and he matched his charge with a feral zeal. As the charged and even in his enraged state, Izuku's mind could recognize the pattern he'd seen all his life. Bakugo always started his fights with his right arm and Izuku took full advantage as he grasped it in both hands and threw him over his shoulder and slammed him into the ground hard enough to shatter the asphalt beneath them. Izuku did not let him get up, climbing onto him and slamming his weight onto his chest, punching him three times straight to the face before he could properly defend himself. Izuku kept going, trying to pound through his defenses even as the air around him grew hotter and hotter until Bakugo pressed his glowing hand to his face, the heat searing his flesh as he tried to pry it off. But what happened next took him by complete surprise, as his electricity covered hand grasped the grenade shaped gauntlet it exploded violently. The resulting shockwave shattering windows and launching Izuku clear off of Bakugo and straight into a guard rail, the metal deforming as his body slammed into it.

The wind was knocked out of his lungs as he struggled to bring air back into his lungs. "What had that been" he wondered but the answer came to him quickly. Bakugo's sweat was like nitroglycerin and his electricity must have set it off. But that had been bigger than his normal blasts, had he been storing sweat in his gauntlets?

His train of thought was slowed though as the pain in his face was excruciating. Bringing a shaky hand to his face and fingers delicately prodding the burn he looked through the dust cloud and saw Bakugo beginning to pull himself up. But as the dust cleared he saw that Bakugo had suffered more than he had. His right arm had snapped, hanging like a broken branch wafting in the wind with only bruised discolored skin keeping the pieces together. He wondered if the fight would be stopped because of his injury but as he starred into his red eyes he realized that unless All Might told him to he wasn't going to stop because of a broken arm.

As Izuku pulled himself up as well he saw that Bakugo despite his blood lust was running hot now, his body glowing like metal in a furnace, the air becoming so hot it was getting hard to breath. He wondered if that was his weakness, that like him and Tsu he had a limit. That he could only get so hot before he shut down. He prayed that his hypothesis was correct because he was running low on energy.

"You're so pathetic" Izuku spoke through gritted teeth as he worked through the pain "Ten years of abuse, ten years of suffering in silence unable to do anything by take it from someone who talked so much about how he was so much better than everyone else."

"Well no more; no more and never again because this worthless Deku just broke your fucking arm" he growled, letting the pain in his face fuel the venom in his words.

If he had thought Bakugo was mad before now he was furious, eyes practically glowing as he unleashed another massive explosion, aiming to kick his head clean off. Izuku drew his hand back again, intending to shoot the other gauntlet and cause whatever had happened before. But instead of a simple lightning bolt, what left his hand was a condensed ball of energy. It was relatively slow in comparison and Bakugo would have had no trouble evading it but with his broken arm he had no way of changing course as the missile struck him hard in the chest with another large explosion that sent him flying back and smashing through the third story window of another building.

Izuku began to stumble after that, whatever that was running on fumes as the vision around his eyes began to lose colour. He looked around, desperate to find another source of electricity and finally saw another light post. But it was too far, Bakugo would surely come rushing back before he could get there. But then he was struck by an idea as he finally pulled out his electro whip and swung it forward wrapping it around the post, using it as a medium to drain the electricity into himself as the colour began to return and the pain in his face diminished. But he did not have time to relax as Bakugo rushed out of the hole he made, soaring through the air on his one good arm and landing on the roof of a building, breathing heavy as he sneered at him.

"Izuku we need your help" came the voice of Ochaco in his ear.

"I'm a little busy" he stressed as he waited for Bakugo to do something; it wasn't like him to wait.

"We're outside the bomb room and we need a distraction" she asked.

"Such as?"

"Lead Bakugo to the base of the building, make him blow up one of the corners" she instructed as Izuku's eyes went wide.

"Are you crazy" he yelled.

"Trust me Midoriya" she pleaded, as Bakugo rushed out of the hole he made, soaring through the air on his one good arm and landing on the roof of a building, breathing heavy as he sneered at him.

"That was a lucky shot you hear me, but let me show you what I can do" he roared, a manic smile crossing his lips as Izuku's eyes went wide.

What he did next however stunned him as his broken arm began to glow brighter and brighter until with one strangled scream that sounded like the mix of a wounded animal and a demon he snapped the broken bones back into place with a loud crack. Flexing his fingers he looked down at him, the hand glowing white hot as he relished in his power.

Ochaco was right; he didn't really have a better plan and needed to trust his teammates. As he looked at Bakugo and despite his blood lust he could see he was getting tired, his body glowing so bright he could see his skeleton.

"Since I got your attention again let me tell you that these gauntlets ain't just for show, they also collect my sweat. So tell me you stupid bastard; what do you think will happen when I fuse their atoms all at once!" he threatened with glee as he landed on the roof of a building, steam pouring out his mouth with every breath.

"Bakugo stop, you'll kill him" All Might yelled as Izuku took off running towards the test building, he could do it he just needed to move. "OCHACO DO IT NOW!"

"He'll live if he dodges" Bakugo cackled as he pulled the pin on his gauntlet and a flash of light as bright as the sun rocked the entire street.


At Izuku's signal Ochaco put her plan into motion, with Toru climbing onto her back she touched both making them weightless as the building was slammed by a massive explosion that rocked it to its very foundation. Her heart was beating in her ears as she jumped souring through the hallway as the whole building began to lean to the left. Memories of her childhood, of days spent trying to fly through the hole of her tire swing filled her mind.

"Just like the swing, just like the swing" he said as two soared through the open door. Iida, even with all the chaos around them still tried to intercept them but now the water worked against them as he slipped and slid across the ground. Ochaco smiled despite the fear but as they were about to touch the bomb it moved on its own, a purple shimmer coating it as the pair landed feet first on the wall.

"Nice try" the voice of Reiko uttered as the silver haired girl finally revealed herself. She had been using the junk in the room for levitation, completely unaffected by the moving building.

"Toru get the bomb" Ochaco screamed as Reiko began to move the bomb in every direction, trying to keep it out of the invisible girl's hands. But she should have been more focused on herself as an invisible fist clocked her across the jaw, stunning her and giving Ochaco the opening she needed. Jumping with all her might she surged towards the falling bomb and clamped onto it hard.

"I'VE GOT IT" Ochaco roared in triumph as the buzzer sounded.

"HEROES WIN!"


AUTHOR'S NOTES

Hello everyone happy belated Christmas and New Years. For this we get to see the first battle between conduits, i hope you enjoyed it. For the next chapter we will be looking at the other members of the class, as i have quite a few plans for many of them.
