Tenya voice's came over the radio, "Bakugo! Come in! Give me a status report! Where are you?"

Bakugo answered, "Just shut up and defend the weapon! I've got more important things to worry about."

Tenya answered back, "Are you forgetting what our mission is? Hello? He hung up on me! This isn't the time for radio silence! We're supposed to be partners!"

Over in the monitoring room, Eijiro Kirishima asked, "Hey, who's Bakugo talking to? I'm not hearing anything. Can we get any sound with this video?"

All Might pointed to a earpiece that he had, "He's got a radio in his ear so he can talk to his partner. I gave it to him before the match started. Along with a map of the building. Also, this. A roll of capture tape! Wrapping this around your opponent means you've apprehended them, and they're out for the rest of the game."

Mina commented, "So there's a 15 minute time limit, and the good guys have no idea what floor the nuclear weapon is hidden on, right?"

"Correct!" All Might answered.

"Then the heroes are clearly at a disadvantage here," Mina noted. "A big one!"

All Might countered, "Real pros have to outwit villains on a daily basis. That's life. Even when the odds aren't in our favor, we fight!"

The class gasped at that, but Danny thought, "He's right. I've been through stuff like that many times. The Ghost King being the top of that list."

All Might raised his fist in the air, "All together!"

"Let's hear a Plus Ultra!" Class 1-A shouted.

"All Might," Danny said. "Bakugo's on the move."

All Might turned to the screen and saw that Bakugo was charging up his hands.

Izuku shouted to Ochaco, "Uraraka! Go!"

Ochaco ran just as Bakugo launched his attack, which Izuku blocked.

Katsuki scoffed, "Ballsy move. Think you can take me alone?" But then he noticed Izuku was putting capture tape around his leg.

Izuku remembered the capture move that Mr. Aizawa used. He then predicted how Katsuki would get out of it, and he was right. Just as Katsuki threw a kick, Izuku jumped out of the way.

Class 1-A was watching intensely. "That little guy's really good," Rikido said.

Sero added, "He's holding his own and he hasn't even used his Quirk yet!"

"Not surprising," All Might thought. "He's always been pretty good at taking action in crisis situations. Plus, he spent years taking notes on different heroes. He internalized everything that he learned. Those lessons are in his blood now. That fanboy knowledge is paying off! And driving him forward!"

Danny smiled, "Look at him, holding his own. Way to go, fanboy."

Izuku took some deep breaths, "He kicked first this time. He's switching things up so I can't predict his moves. Does that mean he's worried?"

Katsuki charged up for an attack, but Izuku turned and ran away in the opposite direction.

"Get back here, Deku!" Bakugo shouted as he fired his Quirk and went after Izuku.

Izuku kept his guard up as he was running, "I'm not going to be able to fight him at close range now. I need some kind of plan!"

Bakugo ran all around trying to find Izuku, but was failing, "Dammit! You were tricking me for years by acting weak. Bet you've been laughing behind my back, huh? So where's that flashy power of yours now? Let's see how it compares to mine! Quirk or no, you'll never beat me, Deku!"

Back in the monitoring room, Denki Kaminari commented, "That guy has some real anger issues. Kinda scary…"

"You have no idea," Phantom thought.

All Might looked at the screen, "Midoriya told me that young Bakugo thinks very highly of himself. The ghost boy backed him up. But this level of pride is something else. It may end up being his demise."

Meanwhile, Izuku was hiding behind a corner, "Good. He's completely forgotten about my partner. Just like I thought. If they wanted to send someone out to stop us here, it should've been Iida. He's way faster, after all. That probably means Kacchan's gone rogue. The two of them aren't working together as a team. If we had to take on those two head-to-head, our chances of winning would be pretty low. They've got such strong Quirks. I can't go after the weapon right now or Kacchan will follow me. And if we both try to take him down, we'd probably run out of time. So we stay split up for now. I have to trust Uraraka. She'll find the weapon and Iida, and then I'll join her in a two-on-one fight. That's how we'll win. I'll just have to capture Kacchan down here. On my own. I can do it. As long as I don't get too close to his hands."

Katsuki's voice stopped Izuku's thoughts, "Stop hiding! Come out and face me, you coward!" Izuku took a deep breath and started to run.

Bakugo was still walking around trying to find Izuku, "He's just a little bug. A worthless bug for me to smash!"

Meanwhile, Ochaco located the weapon, "Found it. Now I just have to tell Deku. And try my best to stay outta sight until he gets up here."

She noticed that Tenya was talking to himself, "Bakugo definitely has a villainous side. And that's exactly what we need to succeed in this mission. I need to temporarily devote myself to criminal intent. Yes. I won't fail this trial and risk bringing shame to the Iida family name. That means I must now embrace evil to become a hero! Behold! I am the personification of villainy!"

Ochacho giggled, "He's so serious."

Unfortunately, Tenya heard the giggle, "Uraraka, is that you?" Ochaco reluctantly came out of her hiding spot. "I knew you would come here alone the instant that Bakugo ran off by himself and engaged with Midoriya. Your Quirk allows you to float anything that you touch, but I've prepared for that! By hiding every object in this room so you have nothing to use against me, do-gooder! My dastardly tricks have rendered you helpless! You've blundered, hero!" He then started to laugh evilly.

"He really is playing the part," Ochaco noticed. She radioed Izuku, "Hey, Deku?"

Izuku answered back, "I'm here. How's it going?"

Ochaco apologized, "I'm sorry. Iida knows that I'm here. Right now he's monologuing."

"Where are you?" Izuku asked.

Ochaco answered, "Near the middle of the fifth floor."

Izuku realized, "Right above me. We probably don't have much time left now. We have to finish this fact, or they win. I won't give up yet. I can capture Kacchan. I won't lose!"

Suddenly he heard a noise. He turned around and saw Katsuki standing a few feet away from him, his grenade gauntlet glowing, "I'm all loaded up."

"What does that mean?" Izuku asked.

"Why aren't you using your fancy Quirk?" Katsuki asked back. "Don't tell me you're underestimating me, Deku. Get over here and show me what you're really made of."

Izuku held the capture tape taught in his fists, "Kacchan. I'm not scared of you anymore."

Katsuki chuckled, "Since you're such a stalker, by now you probably know how my Quirk, Explosion, works. I secrete nitroglycerin like sweat from my hands and I make it blow up. Imagine what I can do if I had a lot of it." He released a lever on his gauntlet, "That's right, these gauntlets aren't just for show. They've been storing up my sweat inside for one monster blast."

All Might realized Katsuki was going too far and shouted into the radio, "Young Bakugo! Don't do it! You'll kill him!" Danny's eyes glowed green with anger and was one step away from interfering with the fight.

"He'll be fine as long as he dodges!" Bakugo countered. He fired his attack, and Phantom quickly made a duplicate that then turned invisible and flew off to where the fight was happening, barely making it in time and put a shield around Izuku, but not before some of the blast destroyed the rest of his mask.

Class 1-A was shocked. Phantom felt his duplicate come back and he reabsorbed it without anyone noticing. Meaning Izuku was unharmed.

All Might called out on the radio, "Come in! Come in! Midoriya!"

Izuku was lying on the ground where Phantom's duplicate put him after shielding the attack. He didn't realize that he was saved at the last minute. He sat up, "Is that even allowed?"

Katsuki walked through the smoke laughing, "These are awesome! The more nitro sweat that's stored in these gauntlets, the stronger the explosion is. Go ahead. Use your stupid Quirk on me, Deku. Even if you give me everything you got, you'll never beat me."

Tenya was trying to radio Katsuki, "Bakugo, answer me. What is going on down there? Did you cause that blast?"

Ochaoc realized with Tenya distracted, she could try to get to the weapon, "Now's my chance. If I can claim the weapon, that means we win!"

She charged towards the weapon, but Tenya noticed and charged at her, "Not so fast, hero."

But Ochaco touched her hands together, and jumped through the air, as her Quirk made her lighter, "I just have to touch the weapon. In one move, this'll be all over."

"Since when can she make herself float?" Tenya asked himself. He charged up his engines on his shins.

"Release!" Ochaco touched her hands together and released her Quirk. "This special move is hard, but it's worth it."

But Tenya sped in and took the weapon out of her reach, making her fall and tumble onto the floor.

"Admirable attempt," Tenya said. "But that Quirk's no threat if you can't touch anything. I can easily keep this weapon out of your reach until time runs out." Then he laughs evilly.

Ochaco just glared at him, "It's not over. I won't let Deku down."

Back with Izuku and Katsuki, the crazy teen said, "What's the matter? You look scared. You dodged the attack, so you can still fight, can't you? Come and get me."

Izuku thought, "The gauntlets make it so he can use his powers at long range. I'm not safe, even if I stay away from him. So what do I do?" He then radioed Ochaco, "Come in, what's the situation?"

"It's not good," Ochaco radioed back.

Katsuki started to get pissed off, "Are you ignoring me again? I'll get your attention."

Back at the monitoring tower, Phantom stepped forward and said to All Might, "This fight is getting out of hand. Bakugo is acting too irrational. He's gone crazy. Izuku may have dodged that attack, but he might not get so lucky if Bakugo does it again. He could kill him. " He didn't mention that he stepped in to help Izuku dodge, even with just a duplicate.

All Might heard what Phantom said and thought, "Despite his fierce posturing, Bakugo's not actually trying to kill Midoriya. But still, ghost boy has a point."

He then radioed, "Bakugo. Use that stored up power again and I'll stop this fight. Your team will lose. To employ such a strong attack indoors is inviting the destruction of the stronghold you should be protecting. That's a poor strategy, whether you're a hero or a villain. The penalty will be a massive loss of points." Bakugo groaned in annoyance, but accepted it.

What Bakugo didn't realize was that while he was distracted by All Might, Izuku was talking to Ochaco over their radio and telling her a plan, ending with, "The pillar by the window. Get there now!"

Katsuki then charged in, "Fine then! We'll fight hand to hand." Izuku prepared to counterattack as he knew he couldn't dodge again, but Bakugo surprised him by jumping behind him, then attacking his back.

Class 1-A gasped at the sight. "What was that move?" Kirishima asked.

Shoto Todoroki commented, "He doesn't come off as a guy with a strategy. But he's actually quite intelligent." Some classmates questioned this, so Shoto explained, "He changed his trajectory while in midair using a blast that doubled as a smokescreen. Very clever."

Momo added, "A feint attack like that requires an extreme amount of precision. He had to calculate the physics and demonstrate control over his Quirk."

"Plus, he wants to show Izuku how he's better than him, like always," Phantom added.

Denki groaned, "Ugh, Bakugo is uber talented. I hate it."

Katsuki shouted, "Here it comes, nerd! The famous right hook you were whining about."

He charged and slammed his fist into Izuku's back, then flipped him to the ground, "Deku! Don't you ever forget what you are! You're a weakling!"

Izuku groaned from the ground, "He's not giving me any time to form a strategy. I can't beat him without a Quirk after all. He's too good. I have no choice. I have to use it."

Back at the monitoring tower, Mina cried, "This is hard to watch. All he has to do is wrap tape around him, not kill him."

Fumikage Tokoyami added, "Bakugo's certainly acting like a villain."

"I've met worse," Phantom muttered, but Momo heard it.

Kaminari added, "I thought Midoriya was pretty amazing at the start of the fight, but he's completely outmatched in terms of combat power. Not to mention, Bakugo seems like a natural at all this stuff."

All Might wanted to end the fight, but he also wanted it to go on for Izuku's sake.

The class saw Izuku get up and run away, and Kirishima commented, "Not very manly, but he doesn't have a choice. He's outgunned. Unless he's got some kind of plan."

Phantom noticed a look in Izuku's eyes and said, "He's got a plan." That shocked the class, so he added, "Just wait and watch. He may surprise you."

Izuku ran to one of the windows and turned back to Bakugo, who asked, "Why won't you use your damn Quirk against me? Still think you can stop me without it?"

Izuku lowered his head, "That's not it."

Katsuki walked toward Izuku, "You've been hiding your true power for years. What's the deal, Deku? Did you think you were better than me this entire time?"

"That's what you think?" Izuku responded. "You idiot. You've always been stronger, Kacchan. I know that you're better than me. Can't you see? That's why I wanna beat you. Because you're amazing!"

Katsuki scoffed, "You're even more of an idiot than I realized. Come at me!"

They then charged at each other, full force, Bakugo had his hand sparking and Izuku had his arm thrown back charging his Quirk for a punch.

All Might couldn't hold back anymore and shouted, "Both of you, stop!"

But then Izuku shouted, "Uraraka, now!"

Ochaco grabbed onto a pillar in the room she was in and just when Bakugo was about to land a hit, Izuku used One For All and sent the punch upwards, causing massive amounts of wind to destroy the floors above him, causing debris to fly everywhere.

Tenya gasped, "What's happening?"

Ochaco activated her Quirk on the pillar she was holding as it came free from Izuku's attack, "Sorry, Iida. This is it! Improvised Special Move: The Comet Home Run!" She swung the pillar like a baseball bat and sent debris flying at Tenya. He held up his hands to protect himself, but Ochaco used that distraction to float herself to the weapon and she landed on it, "I got it!"

Tenya gasped, "No, the weapon!"

Down below, Katsuki growled, "This was your big plan from the very beginning, wasn't it? You were playing me this entire time, you bastard."

Izuku groaned from his spot on the ground as he was injured from using One For All, "I wasn't going to use it. Because I can't control it. My body just can't handle the backlash of my power yet. Mr. Aizawa said I'd be useless. But this was all that I could think of. This is the only way I had any chance at winning." He held up his two injured arms, one broken from using One For All, and one burnt from Bakugo's attack. He then fell unconscious.

Bakugo stood there in shock, unable to say anything.

All Might shouted, "You did it. The hero team wins!"

Phantom looked at the monitors, "Way to go, Izuku. You were against the odds, but you pulled through. You reminded me of myself."
