Izuku and Bakugo were put in a city battlefield. Bakugo just walked forward, ignoring Izuku. Izuku struggled to keep up, waiting to talk to him, "Kacchan, listen. For this exam, the teacher's the villain, and we're the heroes, so we need a solid plan. Normally, I'd suggest that we analyze the villain's combat ability and choose to fight them or run away based on that. But in this case, the villain is All Might, so we don't need to think about it because combat is out of the question. It'd be impossible to beat him in a fight. It's a really bad idea, Kacchan."

"Stop following me!" Bakugo shouted.

Izuku stopped for a second, but continued to run after Bakugo, "All Might is probably waiting for us on this main road. We should take another route."

Bakugo shouted, "I'm not gonna run away from this fight. If Fenton doesn't have the option to escape for his fight, then neither will I. I'm better than him. Besides, it'll look better if we blast that smile off his face."

Izuku sighed, "No. We should avoid fighting him no matter what it takes."

Bakugo shouted, "I'm gonna toy with him until the time is almost up, and then knock him unconscious for real."

Izuku said, "Think about this! You know what All Might can do! Even with those handicap weights, it's impossible for you to win in a fight against him."

Bakugo then swiped his hand and hit Izuku in the face, knocking him down. He glared down at Izuku, "I don't wanna hear another word. Just because you think you're getting stronger doesn't mean you get to tell me what to do."

In the watch room, Recovery Girl said, "Oh, dear. There's absolutely no teamwork between those two. Don't they realize the trial ahead of them?"

Phantom growled, "I know Izuku does. Bakugo is probably being cocky again and wanting to fight All Might instead of running, like I imagine Izuku is trying to suggest. Bakugo can't beat All Might head on. Even with the handicap. I'd like to punch him in the face."

Momo put her hand on Phantom's shoulder, "Calm down, Danny. This won't help."

Tenya added, "I'm sure they will pass."

Ochaco and Tsuyu nodded.

All Might was standing near the escape gate and said, "Here we go. I am here to test them."

Bakugo walked away from Izuku, who shouted, "Wait, Kacchan! All I'm trying to do is get us to pass the final! This is for both of us!"

Bakugo shouted back, "I told you, we don't need your dumb power to pass! I can win it all by myself!"

"Will you stop yelling?" Izuku shouted. "This is why we never have any real conversations!"

Suddenly All Might punched the air, creating a huge wind storm right at Bakugo and Izuku. The two students were blown away several feet.

As they both stood up, All Might walked through the dust that had gathered in the air, "Who really cares if I destroy the city?" Both Izuku and Bakugo were shocked by how intimidating All Might was. "If you think of this as an exam and not a real fight, you'll be sorry. I'm a villain now, heroes. Remember that. You'd better come at me with everything you've got. I won't pull my punches!"

Izuku said to Bakugo, "It's over if we fight him head on. Let's run!"

Izuku started to run, while Bakugo shouted, "Don't tell me what to do!"

All Might launched himself at Bakugo, who shouted, "How about a stun grenade?" He launched it, blinding All Might. Izuku stopped in his tracks. Bakugo jumped into the air towards All Might. "You want everything I've got, All Might? Like that wasn't my plan. I never…."

But All Might grabbed Bakugo's head and slammed him into the ground, realizing that Bakugo really wants to fight him head on. "Your rapid fire blasts were weak, hardly more than a sting." He looked back at Izuku. "Where are you going?" He sped right up to Izuku, "Don't think I've forgotten about you already, Young Midoriya. Are you really going to leave your teammate here and run away?"

Izuku activated One For All and jumped away, but All Might laughed, "Uh-uh. Do you really think that's going to work?"

Bakugo had launched himself towards All Might but Izuku had accidently jumped right into his path, the two colliding with each other in the air.

Bakugo got up and started to walk towards All Might, Izuku getting him to try and stop him. Bakugo growled, "Get out of my way!"

Izuku shouted back, "Haven't you been listening to me? It'd be insane to fight him head on."

Bakugo shoved past Izuku, "Shut up, scum. I will win this. That's what it means to be a hero, Deku!"

Izuku ran after him, "At the very least, we should be trying to avoid him!"

He put his hands on Bakugo's shoulder, but Bakugo just shoved Izuku off.

"Incoming, heroes!" All Might charged in towards the two boys. "I have a special gift for the one who wants to run!" He jumped in the air holding a part of a railing and slammed it down into Izuku, trapping him. Bakugo jumped out of the way. But All Might charged in and punched Bakugo right in the stomach, making the boy retch and fly backwards.

"Kacchan!" Izuku shouted. "Are you OK?"

Bakugo grunted as he struggled to stand. All Might walked over to him, "Ha! I know why you're so angry, Young Bakugo. Because of Young Midoriya's sudden improvement and because Young Fenton is better than you, right? But you have to remember that each of your rankings when the year first began. For Young Midoriya, it's much easier to level up when you're a novice. As for Young Fenton, he's always been at a different level than you. He's experienced things that you never could have imagined. He could actually take me on and be a good match for me. You're wasting your full potential. Do you see that? Do you understand me? You still have so much room to get stronger, boy. And I don't just mean your Quirk."

Bakugo growled, "Shut up, All Might. If I'm so bad that I have to get help from a weakling like him, then I'd rather lose this. And I am better than that stupid American. Do you hear me?"

"I see," All Might replied. "Just remember that's what you said, hero."

Suddenly Izuku activated One For All, broke free, and charged in, punching Bakugo in the face, "Don't you dare say you'd rather lose! And it doesn't matter that Danny is at a different level than us. We can reach that level. Let's win this, Kacchan!" He grabbed Bakugo and sped away.

All Might said, "I didn't expect Young Midoriya to swoop in like that. I let my guard down. Man, do these weights have to be so heavy?"

Izuku kept running with Bakugo in his arms, but Bakugo growled, "Drop me, you bastard."

"I got you." Izuku ignored Bakugo and kept running.

Bakugo shouted, "I told you to put me down, dammit!" He punched Izuku, who dropped Bakugo and both boys panted hard, trying to catch their breath.

Izuku said, "Kacchan, I can't really think of a way for us to beat All Might. Or to make a clean getaway without him swooping in and stopping us. But before you give up, we can at least try using my power! You can't say you're OK with losing. You're you because you never give in. You're always fighting. Don't you remember those words you've always said since we were kids. The most amazing hero always wins. How can you give up now? I know you're still upset at Danny beating you in the sports festival. But you're someone who never gives up. No matter if someone is better or not!"

Bakugo punched the wall right next to Izuku's head, "I won't say it again, so listen, you useless nerd. All Might's speed is insane. No matter where you try to run and hide, there's no way you'll avoid fighting him."

Izuku argued, "Yeah, but we don't stand a chance in combat. I mean, you saw him back there!"

"Shut the hell up before I kill you!" Bakugo shouted. "He won't be stopped by anything less than a full blown attack. I learned that earlier from my mini blasts. So I may not be at Fenton's level, but I still have to try and beat him."

Phantom couldn't hear what was being said during the fight, but he had a sense that he came up in the conversation. He knew that Bakugo didn't like him, especially after losing to him in the sports festival. He just wished Bakugo would swallow his pride and work with Izuku.

All Might was running around looking for Izuku and Bakugo, when Bakugo suddenly jumped out from hiding in an alley, "You're going the wrong way!"

"That's supposed to be a sneak attack?" All Might asked.

Bakugo, although pissed that he had to work with Izuku, fired a blast right in All Might's face. Then Izuku appeared behind All Might wearing one of Bakugo's gauntlets, "I'm sorry, All Might." He released the pin, unleashing a powerful blast, causing Izuku to be blown backwards due to the force of the blast.

Izuku's shoulder started to hurt, "Jeez. He really uses this thing?"

Bakugo blasted past him, "Run, you idiot." Izuku quickly sped after him.

All Might coughed, "Ow. They got me. A compromise between running and fighting. That's pretty decent for an impromptu strategy. They also limited the damage to the city. By aiming towards places I've already damaged when the exam started. I think I taught them to do that in their very first combat training. I see, now. Both those boys are actually pretty darn clever. The problem is that they lose all sense when it comes to each other. Envy. Hate. Competition. Awe. Rejection. Pride. From what I can tell, they have so many complicated feelings about each other piled up that they don't even know how to interact anymore. It's not the kind of thing that can be resolved in a single test. But I'm sure their cooperation here will mean big things for them in the future. This is just the first step. A starting point. Now then, students. As your teacher, it's time for me to school you."

Izuku and Bakugo kept fleeing and Izuku said, "We're almost there. We just have to make it to the gate. A little further! It looks kinda ridiculous, but if we can get through, we pass the final exam!"

"Damn!" Bakugo commented. "All Might's first attack was from the middle of the fake city, but it reached all the way to the gate? What the hell is that power?"

Izuku said, "It doesn't look like All Might is chasing us. Don't tell me we actually knocked him out back there."

"Of course not," Bakugo shouted. "You're the one who keeps crying about how it's impossible to actually beat him. There's no way that attack KO'd him. When he catches up to us, it'll be my turn to blast him to hell with a gauntlet."

"Interesting." All Might suddenly appeared next to Bakugo and Izuku. "And then what will you do?" Bakugo tried to blast him, but All Might destroyed Bakugo's gauntlet with a single punch. "Don't tell me you're surprised." He then destroyed the other gauntlet that Izuku was still carrying. "Unfortunately, I've got these weights on, no I'm nowhere near my top speed. All right, heroes. It's time for both of you to die."

He punched Bakugo into a building. Izuku tried to go after him, but All Might grabbed him and pulled him away.

Bakugo blasted himself towards All Might, "That's my line!"

All Might just punched Bakugo to the ground with one hand, while holding Izuku with his other hand. He held Bakugo down with his foot.

Phantom was shaking as his ghostly nature to save people was starting to try and take control. Momo and Tenya had to hold Phantom back as they noticed. Ochaco and Tsuyu were wincing at the screen.

All Might chuckled, "Ah. Well, isn't that wonderful, boys. You cooperated, however, reluctantly, and faced me together. Sadly, that's not enough. Cooperation wasn't an option: it was a prerequisite for this exam."

Bakugo was freaking out internally, "He's got overwhelming speed with strength and stamina I can't hope to match. He's not just power. He is power. I realize that even more now that I've faced him myself. This man is the most unstoppable force in the world. He's the greatest hero on Earth. And he implied that Fenton might be able to take him on."

Izuku struggled in All Might's grasp, "Damn it!"

All Might chuckled, "What kind of face is that to make, Young Midoriya?" He then tossed Izuku off to the side. "You planned to get away from me using maximum firepower and then make a run for the escape gate. It wasn't a terrible strategy, all things considered. But now that I've destroyed Young Bakugo's gauntlets, you've lost your heavy attack. You're helpless. This is over."

Bakugo was now super pissed, "Shut up!" He then sent a powerful blast right at All Might, sending him flying. He then walked over and grabbed Izuku. "Get ready to fly. I don't like the idea of running, but with the crapfest we're in right now, this is the only way to pass the practical. Now, die!" He sent Izuku flying towards the escape gate.

But All Might shouted, "New Hampshire Smash!" He punched backwards, launching himself right at Izuku before he could reach the escape gate.

"Damn it!" Bakugo shouted as he blasted towards Izuku and All Might.

Izuku screamed in pain as All Might collided with his back. All Might said, "Come now, you're being too naive, heroes." Izuku slammed into a bus, then fell to the ground.

Bakugo kept flying towards All Might, "Those gauntlets were only so I could use maximum firepower with no risk. But now I see that was stupid. If I don't take risks, there's no way I can beat you. Right, All Might?" He sent a powerful blast at All Might. Bakugo held his arm in pain. "Deku, go! Hurry up! I can still move better than you. Even if you are still learning to use your pathetic power. At least try to make yourself useful, you moron!" He sent more powerful blasts at All Might, despite the pain in his arms.

Izuku struggled to get up and walk towards the escape gate, as his back was messed up. Bakugo tried to block All Might from getting to Izuku, but All Might grabbed Bakugo and slammed him into the ground.

All Might said, "It's time to sleep. Goodnight, Young Bakugo. I'm sorry. I may be the villain, but I'm still your teacher, and it pains me to see you sacrifice your own body in a fight."

Bakugo mumbled, "Hurry up. Go, you damn nerd. I'll keep fighting. I'll break myself. Even if there's nothing left of me, I will win the way I want to. I'll destroy myself before I accept defeat at your hands. If I want to be at the same level as Fenton, then this is what I will do. You got that?"

Izuku heard all of that, "Kacchan!" He activated One For All and charged at All Might, who was surprised by Izuku's actions. He was further surprised by the fact that Izuku was smiling.

"Please get out of the way," Izuku said to All Might. "Move, All Might! Smash!" He punched All Might right in the face. He used the distraction to grab Bakugo and ran towards the escape gate.

All Might tried to get up and follow them, but he coughed up some blood.

Izuku noticed Bakugo was unconscious, "I'm sorry, Kacchan. But this is just who I am."

All Might coughed, "Jeez. He easily could have shot through the gate himself and passed the gate for them both. You hit me with everything you've got, huh kid? I shouldn't be surprised. This is how you've been since the beginning. You can't help but save those who need rescuing. Even if they aren't asking you for any help. And at times like that, there isn't an obstacle hard enough to stop you. That's right, Young Midoriya. That's the kind of hero you always have been. Just like Young Fenton. Speaking of which, I need to save the rest of my energy for the fight against him."

Izuku ran both himself and Bakugo through the escape gate. The announcer said, "Team Midoriya and Bakugo have passed the exam."

Everyone in the watch room was cheering for Izuku and Bakugo. Phantom said, "They did it. Way to go, Izuku."

Recovery Girl went and healed Izuku and Bakugo. She then turned to All Might, "All Might, you really don't know how to hold back. If you'd hit these boys any harder, they'd have permanent damage! Midoriya's back was horrible. I was barely able to heal it. Bakugo probably won't wake up for a while. For now, the two of you should stay here and rest."

Izuku nodded, "Yes, m'am. Thank you. But can you please put a TV in here? I want to watch Danny's fight."

Recovery Girl nodded, then left. All Might thought, "You're so much stronger than when we first met that sometimes I hardly recognize you, Young Midoriya. And the same goes for you, Young Bakugo. Do you realize that you were able to smile in the face of defeat? I can't wait to see how much stronger you both get."

He then left to gather with the rest of the teachers to get ready for their fight against Phantom.

All of the Class 1-A students, minus Izuku and Bakugo as they were in the nurse's office recovering, although Recovery Girl did come back with a TV, were in the watch room, waiting with anticipation at the fight that was about to happen.

Phantom walked into a massive arena that had different areas, similar to the USJ. Nezu's voice came over the intercom, "All of us teachers are spread out over this giant arena. You need to find all of us and either defeat or capture us. Whether we are alone or together will be a mystery."

Phantom then took a deep breath, "Time for my final exam. I'm ready!"

The announcer said, "Fenton's practical exam. Ready? Go!"
