Underneath the Eiffel Tower...
Bakugo looked at his hands with so much frustration. He had just gotten caught by HawkMoth during their mission. Not only that, but he also let Uraraka slip from his fingers. She tried to save Midoriya from getting his Miraculous stolen by Chrysalis, but she ended up getting caught instead. He really wanted to go after her, but didn't know how to go about it.
Especially with a certain plan he had in mind.
"Viperion, please go back in time, now!" Ashido cried out, "Uraraka's been caught!"
"I can't. I just told you," Viperion said back very seriously, "I've run out of time. We're on our own with this one."
"B-But, what do we do?" Jirou asked them, "We can't just go in there without some sort of plan."
Bakugo really wanted to go on his own, but he had no choice but to stick with them for now. He knew this wasn't the time to start his plan. Once he spotted Uraraka with Chrysalis, he noticed how different she looked.
The suit looked like it had these weird glowing pink designs all around it, even the gloves had it around the rims. The butterfly wing clip around her hair had a beautiful, glowing pink design all around it. Even her eyes had a pink glow to them, and with the mask on, it made them stand out even more. The added color palette reminded Bakugo of Uraraka's hero costume.
Then he realized something and hoped that he was wrong about this one.
"I think Chrysalis just akumatized herself," Bakugo explained to them.
"What?!" They all cried out in unison.
"Are you sure, Bakugo? We didn't see her akumatize herself. Then again, she does look different," Ashido pointed out.
"She looks similar to Zero. You know, when Uraraka got akumatized," Jirou pointed out.
"Whoa, you're right," Ashido said back as she squinted her eyes, "We really need to do something. We can't just sit here while Uraraka is taking care of things without us."
Bakugo thought about it as he looked back at Uraraka. She was trying to get Midoriya back down since he was floating around still. Chrysalis got in the way and tried to touch her. She quickly flipped out of the way, but tried to avoid touching her. He didn't understand why she was avoiding touching her, until he realized that he was holding something in his hands.
He was holding Uraraka's gloves.
"Oh no... This can't be good..." Bakugo said to more himself.
"What, what's wrong?" Viperion asked him.
Then all looked at him holding her gloves. They were shocked to see him holding them.
"Bakugo, why do you have her gloves?" Ashido asked him.
"You shouldn't have that in your hands," Jirou said a little concerned, "That's supposed to be stopping Chrysalis from using her quirk."
"Now we have to go there to help her," Ashido pointed out.
"Wait. We can't just run in there without a plan," Viperion said to them, "I'm going to have to recharge my Miraculous soon."
Bakugo looked around for any other Miraculous holder that could help them out. He spotted Purple Tigress and wondered if she might be able to help. She would only be able to use one punch and then recharge. She looked like she was looking for someone like Cat Noir or Ladybug. Bakugo could tell that they could definitely use some more help.
"What about Purple Tigress? She looks like she can hold her own," Bakugo said to them.
Viperion for a moment looked a little shocked to bring her into this.
"Maybe. She's a little shy, isn't she?" Ashido asked them.
"Maybe a little, but she's a really great fighter," Bakugo pointed out, "I've seen her hero training with Deku, and she's actually pretty good. She can really throw a punch and stand up for herself."
He watched Ashido and Jirou think about it, but he really didn't have a minute. He had to do something fast since Uraraka was having trouble with Chrysalis. He felt so frustrated as Uraraka tried to grab her Miraculous from Chrysalis. She could barely use her quirk, or at least she was trying not to use it because she didn't know what it would do. Uraraka tried to use GunHead martial arts, but couldn't get a good grip on her because of it.
Once Chrysalis grabbed Uraraka by the throat however, Bakugo couldn't take it anymore.
"Bakugo, what're you doing?!" Jirou cried out.
Bakugo ran off towards Purple Tigress and almost ran into another teammate. He used his explosive power to propel himself up and over him and ran right towards her. As he looked around, he could see HawkMoth busy with a couple of other teammates. Even a couple of his classmates started to join in as well. Soon enough, Purple Tigress noticed him running up to him.
"Whoa. Where did you come from?" Purple Tigress asked.
"There's no time to explain things. I need your help," Bakugo said to her.
Purple Tigress was surprised to see him of all people to ask her for help. She barely knew him, but she could already tell that he wasn't one to ask for help all of the time.
"We have Viperion over there. He needs to recharge soon," He explained to her.
Then he looked down at his ammo and realized that he was still good with his Miraculous. He had a lot of ammo left to use before he ran out of battery. She looked behind him and spotted them in the distance. Viperion looked like he was looking around for her. She smiled at him and nodded at Bakugo.
"Okay. I'll go with you," Purple Tigress said to him.
Bakugo smiled, and they ran towards their group. They were careful not to grab HawkMoth's attention and succeeded pretty well. Ryuko had used Water Dragon, and they had to go around her so they wouldn't get wet or caught in her attack. They soon got to their group, and Viperion gave her a hug. That surprised them all, but Bakugo could tell just based on that hug that he knew who she was.
"Purple Tigress, are you okay? No bruises or scratches?" Viperion asked her a little like an older brother would.
"No. I'm fine," Purple Tigress said back, "Katsuki told me that you're running out of time with your Miraculous."
"Yes. I should go now," Viperion said to them, "Give me a call if you need me for anything else. I'll go recharge and help Ladybug's team."
"Thank you, Viperion," Ashido said to him, giving him a wink.
Viperion smiled and ran off into a nearby alleyway.
Bakugo stepped up and scanned the area around Chrysalis. She was holding her own unfortunately, but Uraraka was still somewhat keeping up with her. She had used her quirk, but Chrysalis was turning it off here and there. Bakugo was frustrated that he accidentally grabbed her gloves, but he couldn't do anything about it now. What he wanted to do was help her out and get the gloves back to her.
"Okay. We need to get these gloves back to Uraraka," Bakugo said to her.
Purple Tigress looked at what he was planning on doing and nodded at him.
"Got it," Purple Tigress said back, "I can throw a punch at Chrysalis when there's an opening, and then you can give her the gloves. Mina can even throw some acid if we need to in order to reach Ochaco right on time. Kyouka can be backup if we need anyone from behind."
Bakugo was surprised to see her joining in on the battle. He gave a smirk, happy to have found her just in time.
"Alright, let's do this," Bakugo said with a grin.
Bakugo let Purple Tigress take the lead as he followed her from behind her. She guided them closer to Chrysalis, and they spotted Midoriya trying to keep Chrysalis away from Uraraka. He looked really pissed off as he used One for All to try to take the Butterfly Miraculous away from her. Bakugo really wanted to help him out, but he couldn't do that until he gave Uraraka her gloves back.
Purple Tigress looked like she was about ready to throw a punch. Chrysalis tried to use Uraraka's quirk on Midoriya, but he quickly kicked her away from him. Then she was sent flying towards the Eiffel Tower. She tried to stop herself from slamming into the tower, and she succeeded. Fortunately, that was the time for Purple Tigress to strike.
Purple Tigress launched at Chrysalis as Bakugo got ready to run over to Uraraka. Her eyes grew wide as Chrysalis didn't expect another hero to show up out of no where.
"Clout!" Purple Tigress yelled out.
Bakugo watched her use her Miraculous power to punch Chrysalis right in the stomach. His eyes widened at how much it reminded him of Midoriya's quirk back then. The wind picked up a lot as Purple Tigress's punch sent Chrysalis flying right into the Eiffel Tower. The moment she left, Bakugo ran over to Uraraka who was on the ground looking really tired already.
"Ba-Bakugo?!" Uraraka cried out, "Wh-What are you doing here?"
Bakugo held out her gloves, shocking her that he even had them at all. She gave him a genuine smile and took her gloves from him.
"I couldn't come over here without giving you these back," Bakugo said to her with a smirk.
Uraraka put them on, and soon spotted Chrysalis launching towards her. Bakugo quickly used himself as a shield and grabbed onto her fists. He held her back, but he could tell that he was starting to float a little. He tried to hold her back as he used an explosion to blow her away. Chrysalis noticed it right away and easily threw him up into the air.
"Chrysalis, you are going to pay for this!" Bakugo cried out.
Before Chrysalis could go after him, she suddenly felt really heavy. Bakugo noticed right away and gave her a smirk.
"It looks like someone got her quirk back," Bakugo said to her.
Chrysalis looked behind her, and Uraraka had touched her with the gloves on. She could barely move because of her, but it wasn't as strong with the gloves on. Bakugo smiled, watching Uraraka finally step it up. She looked way more determined than ever before.
"I've got you now, Chrysalis," Uraraka said with so much confidence.
Bakugo tried to swim around in the air, but he soon realized that he had to use his Miraculous. If he did that though, he would for sure use it all up right away. He looked down at Midoriya who was now floating on the other side of the area.
"Deku, have you been stuck like that the whole time?" Bakugo asked with a smirk.
"Ye-Yeah. Kind of... but now's not the time to joke around, Kacchan. We need to help Ochaco," Midoriya said to him.
Bakugo used his explosive power to propel himself closer to Midoriya. He grabbed onto his wrist and tried to get them closer to the ground. As he used a bit more of power to get to the ground, he noticed that his ammo was running low. He had to be careful with the rest of it. Once they got closer to it, Midoriya grabbed onto the Effiel Tower's leg and held them down.
"Kacchan, your ammo," Midoriya said to him, "It's running low. You have to be careful with how much ammo you use."
"Yeah. I know," Bakugo said back, "Uraraka needs your help now. I'll help out when the time's right."
Bakugo could tell that Midoriya didn't want to leave him behind, but he could tell that Uraraka needed help. Midoriya quickly used One for All and launched himself over to Uraraka. Bakugo watched them try to take back the Butterfly Miraculous, but Chrysalis was not having it. Uraraka kept touching a lot of ice and rocks that had fallen all around them, but Chrysalis kept interfering. Their quirks kept colliding together as Chrysalis tried to turn it off. The rocks would fall to the ground, and she kept touching them again.
Bakugo could tell that Uraraka was getting really tired from using her quirk over and over again. He really wanted to get in there and help out, but there wasn't enough ammo. He noticed Midoriya launching at her, and he grabbed onto her. He almost grabbed the Butterfly Miraculous, but she was able to easily throw him. She threw him into Uraraka, and they were both on the ground.
Bakugo couldn't take this anymore, and he felt like he had to do something. Chrysalis was about to take Midoriya's Miraculous, when he felt something come over him. Suddenly, the explosive power came out much bigger than usual, and Bakugo launched right at her. He spun all around in the air even with the floating quirk activated on him. He kept up with the speed and spun around so fast that he looked like a top.
Chrysalis looked behind her to see Bakugo with a big smirk on his face. Her eyes widened in horror from seeing him going at her so fast.
"Howitzer Impact!" Bakugo cried out.
He suddenly blew out a huge explosion right in front of Chrysalis. The explosion almost hit Uraraka so Midoriya pushed her out of the way. The explosion caused a huge heat wave come over everyone that was around it. They all held onto whatever was near them, even people that weren't around it noticed it as well. Soon enough, the explosion died down, but left smoke behind. The wind soon made it go away and soon Bakugo spotted something coming towards him.
Before he could react, Chrysalis was suddenly gripping his throat. She looked pissed off.
"What do you think you're doing, Katsuki?!" Chrysalis cried out, "That wasn't okay."
"How did you avoid that explosion?" Bakugo asked her.
"I have Ochaco's quirk. I can easily avoid something like that," Chrysalis said back, "It was very close though, I'll have to admit. So congratulations, Katsuki. You caught me off guard."
Bakugo felt her grip tighten and noticed his Miraculous needing to be recharged as it beeped.
"Looks like your Miraculous needs to be recharged. Too bad that you don't have your quirk," Chrysalis said to him, "That would've come handy."
Bakugo noticed her glancing down at his Miraculous. She was reaching out to take it from him as she began to take it off. Before she could even take it off, Uraraka was launched towards her by Midoriya. She grabbed Bakugo, and they both skidded across the ground. She held onto him, but realized that he was still floating. She quickly deactivated her quirk, and this time it worked.
"Finally. It worked," Uraraka said more to herself.
Chrysalis floated towards them, barely giving them any time to plan ahead. Uraraka stood up, noticing that Bakugo now had to recharge his Miraculous. She stood up to her and was ready to take her on.
"Get out of the way, Ochaco," Chrysalis growled at her, "Katsuki needs to be taught a lesson for not interfering with my plans."
"Chrysalis, leave him out of this!" Uraraka cried out, "This is between you and me."
Bakugo stayed out of the way as he felt his Miraculous start to beep again. He really wondered if he should use his plan now. As Uraraka stood her ground, he could tell that she was getting tired. He could feel sweat dripping down his arms, ready to go after her. But he couldn't. He had to let her take care of this.
Uraraka's gloves were still on as she tried to touch the rocks and ice all around her, Chrysalis kept pushing her to use her quirk. She even tried to use her quirk on a big rock, lifted it and at the last second made it go heavy. Chrysalis easily dodged it, and it landed close to Bakugo.
"What are you trying to do with those gloves on? Looks like they are just holding you back from what I can tell," Chrysalis said to her.
Bakugo noticed that Uraraka was sweating a lot from using her quirk. She really looked like she needed some rest. Midoriya launched himself at Chrysalis, and she didn't see it coming. He threw a punch at her, and Bakugo watched her push him into Uraraka who was about to make her heavy. She accidentally made Midoriya heavy, which threw her off completely.
"Izuku! I-I'm sorry," Uraraka cried out.
Chrysalis was suddenly only mere inches away from Uraraka, and she held onto Uraraka's hands. She made them both float up, and Midoriya couldn't do anything about it. Bakugo wanted to help out, but then felt his Miraculous detransform. He was suddenly back in his school uniform with Sparkky floating near him.
He watched in horror as Uraraka was being taken away. She was trying to fight out of her grip by using GunHead martial arts, but she'd never done it in the air before.
"Ochaco, aren't you a little tired of these gloves?" Chrysalis asked her, "Don't you just want to take those off...?"
Bakugo could see Chrysalis taking off Uraraka's gloves. Uraraka's eyes widened as she witnessed Chrysalis ripped the gloves right off of her. She tried to reach out for them, but Chrysalis just tossed them away like they meant nothing to her.
"Come on, don't you want to come after me with that crazy quirk you've got?" Chrysalis asked her, "Those gloves weren't going to do you any good. If you want to stop me, you've gotta use your full power on me."
Bakugo could tell what she was doing. Chrysalis was trying to get her to go all out. He didn't understand why she wanted that, but he knew it wasn't anything good.
"Don't listen to her, Uraraka!" Bakugo cried out, "She's just trying to mess with you!"
Chrysalis had enough of him and tried to deactivate a rock that was above him. Before it could come down onto him, Midoriya pushed him out of the way. Chrysalis had enough of them. Bakugo noticed her gaze aiming right for Midoriya. Then he noticed something coming over her right when she looked at Uraraka. She had such a big grin on her face that it creeped him out.
Suddenly, Bakugo couldn't keep up when Chyrsalis launched right at Midoriya. Uraraka had her quirk deactivated on her so fast as she suddenly felt herself land on the ground. Bakugo was not expecting what was about to happen next. He felt a blemish coming over him when he saw Chrysalis grab Midoriya and kiss him. Right there, right in front of Uraraka. Everyone was staring and were so shocked, especially Uraraka.
Uraraka's eyes widened in horror as she watched her boyfriend being kissed by Chrysalis. By Lila.
Bakugo noticed that her eyes began to glow pink, something that hadn't happened since her quirk evolved. He felt something coming off of her, something heavy and light at the same time. His eyes were locked onto her as her hands began to glow pink, ready to attack. Something about her energy and eyes really made him feel uneasy.
Then she was floating with everything she had touched. All of the rocks, ice and cars along the way.
Uraraka's eyes never left Chrysalis.
"Stay away from my boyfriend, Chrysalis!"
Another amazing chapter!
This was pretty an interesting chapter to write! Bakugo and Uraraka are some of my favorite MHA characters so to see them finally here makes me so happy! Uraraka's quirk has been interesting to write! Right now, it's definitely evolving similar to Zero when she was akumatized, but it seems to be a little more than that. The things she touches throughout the mission are starting to float all around her so that makes things more interesting. Midoriya just got kissed by Chrysalis!! What?! She knows what she's doing.
Uraraka's gloves came off!! She means business!!
What's going to happen next??
More to come soon!
