Chapter 7: The Awakening
(A/N: The story will remain in 3rd point-of-view but of course may change but you will be told)
Recap Part 1:
Upstairs in the room with the fake bomb Yuudai and Tenya guard, it and Yuudai is pacing the floor when she stops as if hearing Katsuki's shouting. "Seems it's begun." She mutters to herself and her eyes go completely white again; she has a blank look on her face as she continues watching everything that is happening between Katsuki and Izuku.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"You saw that extraordinary strength, didn't you? It appears to carry a lot of risk, though. However, you seem to be especially angry when it comes to Midoriya." Tenya comments.
"Did he dare trick us?! That damn nerd!" Katsuki seethes, and Yuudai feels the anger rolling off of him.
"Kat!" Yuudai cuts into his rage, and he looks at her. "We have work to do." She smirks her eyes turning entirely white.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"They're amazing. He's a piece of work, but his goal, his confidence, his physical strength, and his Quirk are way more amazing than mine. But Yuu's is far greater than anything. But that's why right now I don't want to lose." Izuku tells her with some confidence in his voice.
"Now, let's start the indoor person-to-person combat training with Team A and Team D!" All Might's voice rings out, and the two teams get ready.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"Come, Deku don't dodge." Katsuki taunts him.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the building, Katsuki runs towards Izuku with his fist raised. "I won't do so much damage that this fight gets stopped, but I'm gonna get close!" Katsuki warms him as he swings his left arm forward and leads with his right, but Izuku reads him and grabs his right arm.
"Wow, he's like a martial arts master!" Ochaco exclaims in relief as Izuku turns around sharply before pulling Katsuki over his shoulder.
"What's with this guy? Did he reach my moves?" Katsuki wonders as he tries igniting his Quirk, but Izuku sharpens his move and sends Katsuki on his back painfully.
"My 'Deku' isn't always going to mean 'useless'! Kacchan my 'Deku' means 'you can do it'!" Izuku finally says it, and it makes Katsuki seeth and gets to his feet standing in front of Izuku with his arms out.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Flashback:
A group of children stand in the park in their neighbourhood in front of gates with the words 'No Trespassing' warning them not to enter but the children seem carefree except for a greenette who seems nervous. "Because Kacchan and Yuu and I lived in the same neighbourhood we've known each other since we were little."Older Izuku monologues.
"Let's go kill the enemy!" Katsuki exclaims, pointing towards the open gates with a big smirk on his face.
"Okay!" Three boys and a small brunette next to Katsuki, exclaim in agreement while Izuku seems more hesitant.
"He was the type who could do anything he tried his hand at a rascal who led the group of neighbourhood kids, with Yuu leading him. "Good or bad aside Kacchan and Yuu were full of confidence, and I thought they were so cool. But… after their Quirks manifested it accelerated him down the wrong path," Izuku voices over as the children walk through the gate and into the wooded area and Yuudai and Katsuki walk in front.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Recap part 2:
"Even though you're scared…" Katsuki uses his Quirk to intimidate Izuku. "That's what I hate about you!" He shouts as he stares down Izuku with a feral look in his eyes.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Yuudai smirks as she comes back and Tenya looks at her. "Seems they've met, but Kat seems angrier than his usual self," Yuudai informs her teammate who panics, and she shrugs her shoulders. "We just need to pair them off, and Gravity Girl will come for the bomb as Izzy hides from the murderous Kat." She explains and jumps on the comm. "Kat, go for Izzy and make sure the girls not there." She tells him and hears a growl as a response.
OOOOOooooOOOO
With Katsuki and Izuku with Ochaco split from him, the two stare each other down. "All men are not created equal. This was the reality I learned about society at the young age of four." Izuku finishes his monologue as he stares down his childhood friend.
"Hey, Bakugo! Give me your status! What happened?" Tenya says over the comm, and Katsuki growls and hits the comm in turn.
"Just shut up and defend with Dai," Katsuki growls into the comm.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"I'm really angry right now!" Katsuki growls over the comm to Tenya.
"I'm not asking about how you feel!" Tenya snaps at him, and Yuudai snaps out of her trance before looking at the upset knight, and Katsuki gets annoyed and hangs up on him. "Hey! He hung up! Going off on his own like that. What is wrong with him?! Jeez!" Tenya shouts flailing his arms around, Yuudai smirks at him. "What?" He seems almost slightly calmer.
"I have an idea." She tells him.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the monitor room with the rest of the class and All Might. "What was Bakugo saying? Can't tell with just the cameras in a fixed position and no sound." Eijiro comments as they all watch the two teams on the multiple screens on the one large screen.
"He's talking to his partners over the small wireless radio. You can bring that plus the building's floor plan and this capture tape! Once you wrap this around your opponent, it shows that you have captured them." All Might explains to the class.
"The time limit is 15-minutes, and the heroes don't know where the nuclear weapon is located, right?" Mina asks.
"Yes!" All Might answers.
"The heroes are clearly at a disadvantage here!" Mina points out.
"Heroes should be able to turn the tables on whatever predicament they're in, besides, didn't Mr Aizawa tell you, too? You know-" All Might says. "Here we go-"
"Plus Ultra!" They all shout together.
"Monsieur, Bakugo is-" Yuga cuts in, and they all turn to see what is happening on the screen.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the building's hallway with Izuku, Ochaco and Katsuki, he swipes his arm back and uses his Quirk to set off a small explosion. "Uraraka, go!" Izuku shouts out to her as Katsuki propels himself forward and kicks the side of Izuku, but he deflects it with his arm.
"Looking away? You must be sure of yourself." Katsuki growls when he notices that Izuku is using the capture tape to tie around his ankle. "The capture tape-?!"
"Hero notebook number 10, page 18! I'm glad I got to see Eraser Head's moves in person! What's next? If it's Kacchan, he'll be impatient and swing with his right again!" Izuku thinks to himself and sees Katsuki go for a swing with his right and dodges out of the way as Katsuki hits the wall setting off an explosion. "I was right!"
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the monitor room, the class all watch the exchange of blows. "That guy's amazing!" Rikido exclaims pumping a fist in celebration.
"He's not even using his Quirk fighting against the guy who finished second in the entrance exam!" Hanta adds on.
"He was always good at reacting quickly in a crisis. He spent years writing his notes and internalising them. That fanboy knowledge is now paying off as it propels him forward." All Might thinks to himself as he watches his student.
"Honda's using that copy demon again!" Denki exclaims and points towards the screen with Tenya and Yuudai with the bomb.
OOOOOooooOOOO
A copy of Yuudai rises from the small drop of blood on the floor, and the original one stands next to the bomb with Tenya seeming squeamish. "I'll try to help the bombshell blond." The copy Yuudai comments and walks out of the room.
"This should help focus him on the main objective if not well we can waste time." The original Yuudai says and looks over at Tenya. "Don't like blood?" she asks him, and he shakes his head slightly.
"Just not use to your Quirk is all," Tenya replies and she nods in understanding.
"Don't worry, there is one of my add-ons that even get to Kat, he freaks out, but I don't use that one, it's too dangerous." She remarks and walks over to one of the beams leaning against it.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Back with Katsuki and Izuku, he stays crouched looking at his childhood friend trying to catch his breath and thinks over his options. "He kicked first this time to keep me from predicting his moves. He's being cautious now." Katsuki readies to propel himself using his Quirk again, but Izuku runs away.
"Come back here, Deku!" Katsuki shouts after him feeling more rage as he runs after the greenette.
"I can't get close to him as easily anymore. I need a plan." Izuku thinks as he runs away trying to avoid the raging blond chasing after him.
OOOOOooooOOOO
The copy of Yuudai runs around the hallways and stops looking around the number of choices. "Hey! You tricked me, didn't you?! Was it fun tricking us all this time?! Huh?! You have got a flashy Quirk there, don't you?! Try and get me with it! 'Cause I'm way above you!" Katsuki shouts, and it echoes around the hallways, the copy runs towards Katsuki's voice as he shouts, she finds him making small explosions with a glare, she sighs strolling towards him. She taps him on the shoulder, he turns around expecting Izuku for some reason and goes to hit her, but she grabs his arm, stopping the attack.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the monitoring room, the class watch as Yuudai and Katsuki shout at each other. "They seem real angry. It's scary!" Denki exclaims watching the screens with the rest.
"I had heard from young Midoriya that young Bakugo thinks well of himself, but this is too much. And that young Honda is the only one who can calm him down but is competitive and always has a plan." All Might thinks over as he watches Yuudai make another copy and the trio split up looking for Midoriya as Tenya and the original Yuudai stand watch.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Izuku crouches against a wall hearing Katsuki knocking down several doors as he tries to think over his situation. "He completely ignored Uraraka and shot at me. I knew it. If they were going to send an advance guard, it would have been better to send Iida or Yuu, who has more mobility and fighting ability, and I'm sure he knows that. That probably means he's running wild on his own, and the three of them aren't working together. In the first place, our chances of winning are lowest if we have a head-to-head battle with those three. If Uraraka and I both went to the hideout, that's what would happen." Izuku strategies thinking over all the outcomes and his first plan comes with Katsuki getting them once they reach the hideout with Tenya and Yuudai standing guard. "And even if the two of us stayed here to fight Kacchan, we're in danger of running out of time. This is fine. All that's left is for Uraraka to find the weapon and Iida and Yuu, and then I'll head over for a 2-on-1 fight as Yuu will go to find Kacchan. That's how we can win. That's assuming I can beat Kacchan, though. And avoid Yuu, it's fine. As long as I'm careful of his palms, I can do this." Izuku finishes his plans and clenches his fist trying to pump himself up for the upcoming fight, unaware that there are now three copies of Yuudai in the building.
"Where are you?! You damn nerd!" Katsuki shouts and Izuku grows serious thinking back.
"And I forgot to tell you, Kacchan-" Izuku thinks back to that day in class in middle school when it was announced he was applying for U.A. and he narrows his eyes. "I take back everything I said!"
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki strolls along the hallways with a glare, clenching his teeth together in anger, thinking about Izuku with hate. "He's just a pebble!" Katsuki growls inside his head and thinks back to their childhood as kids.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Flashback:
In the playground, Izuku and Katsuki play with grins, Katsuki bounces the ball on his knee as Izuku watches. "Wow, Kacchan!" Izuku gushes over the blond.
"This is easy!" Katsuki boasts about himself as Izuku tries to copy but hits himself in the head.
"Ow!" Izuku cries out as he lands on the ground rubbing his head, and the ball rolls away, and Yuudai walks over, picking it up.
"Izuku, you really can't do anything, can you?" Katsuki teases him, and Yuudai slaps Katsuki over the head.
"Don't be mean, Kat," She scolds him.
The next time they were in the playground, Katsuki shows the trio of his followers Izuku's yellow bucket as Izuku and Yuudai stand away from them. "You can read the characters for 'Izuku' as 'Deku' you know." Katsuki shows off.
"Kacchan, you can read?" One of the followers asks him seeming impressed, but Yuudai just frowns crossing her arms.
"You can't?" She asks him, and Katsuki looks over at her.
"And 'Deku' means someone who can't do anything!" Katsuki teases Izuku and the others besides Izuku and Yuudai seem impressed.
"Stop that.." Izuku sulks and Yuudai marches over to Katsuki and smacks him over the head, sending him to the ground.
"Kat stop teasing Izuku." She warns him, and he looks up at her with a glare, but she just glares back at him.
OOOOOooooOOOO
At the local river, the trio of followers watch as Katsuki skips a rock and Izuku and Yuudai stand to the side. "Kacchan, how many times did yours skip?" One of his followers as him.
"Seven!" Katsuki boasts again seeming overconfident.
"Wow!"
"As expected!" The followers exclaim in cheers boosting Katsuki's ego.
"What about you, Deku?" Katsuki asks him.
"Z-zero times…" Izuku sulks and Yuudai picks up a pebble and skips it around 11 times, the boys all look at her in shock.
"Look, Kat, I beat you!" Yuudai cheers, and he sulks crossing his arms.
OOOOOooooOOOO
At school, Katsuki stands in the middle of the class showing off his new Quirk that has just developed. "Wow! Lucky! That's so cool!" The students all exclaim in awe.
"Wow, that's an amazing Quirk!" The male teacher gushes.
"It really is! It's a flashy Quirk just right for a hero, right, Katsuki?" The female teacher adds on, and Katsuki stands in the adoring crowd, and it's the beginning of his oversized ego.
"I'm amazing! No one is as amazing as I am!"Katsuki thinks to himself with a big grin on his face when the door opens to Yuudai, the class all look to see her in sunglasses, a mask and her hair is entirely different now a light blue colour.
"Hey, who's that!" One of the children calls out.
"It's me, Yuudai Honda," She replies, and the teachers walk over to her inspecting her choice of accessories.
"What's happened to your hair!" A boy asks her, and she touches it.
"I got my Quirk last night," She answers and takes off her sunglasses and mask showing her black and purple eyes and sharp teeth.
"What a freak!" A girl shouts out, and the rest of the class laugh, Yuudai clenches her fists in anger.
"White Eyes: Telekinesis!"Yuudai shouts, raising her arm in the air and the girl gets thrown across the room.
"Leave Dai alone!" Katsuki snaps as he runs towards her and the teachers run over to the offended girl who is crying.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the forest, Katsuki leads the ground with Yuudai next to him as she ties her hair into plaits as they walk. "You're so lucky, Kacchan, Yuu. Your Quirks are so cool! I hope I get mine soon, too." Izuku gushes at the two in front of them.
"No matter what Quirk you get, you'll never beat me." Katsuki taunts him turning his head to look back at him.
"Kat, leave Izuku alone," Yuudai tells him, slapping the back of the head.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki walks with a glare around a corner trying to find Izuku. "He's just a pebble!" Katsuki growls in his head as he walks up to the next level.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Flashback:
Young Izuku sits on the floor of their classroom with the rest of the class standing around him, teasing him and Katsuki and Yuudai stand to the side. "Hey, did you hear? Deku doesn't have a Quirk." One student says.
"What? Really?" Another asks
"Yea, it's called being 'Quirkless'." another announces.
"That's so lame."
"Too bad for him."
"He's so weird!" More students tease him.
"Don't worry about it, Izuku" The female teacher tries to calm him, but he's not responding.
"You're the least amazing, Deku." Katsuki thinks to himself.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki walks across a fallen tree over a small shallow stream with his three minions and Izuku using his Quirk as Yuudai climbs from below using her Quirk. "Forward march, members of the Bakugo Hero Agency!" Katsuki sings when he slips and falls into the stream.
"Kacchan!" One of the minions shouts in worry for the blond.
"Kacchan! Hey, are you okay?" The middle minion shouts down.
"He's fine. Kacchan's real strong!" The other minion boasts. "See?" Katsuki pops out of the water.
"I was fine!" Older Katsuki growls.
"Hurry up and get back up here!" Yuudai shouts as she climbs up to stand on the tree log and Katsuki looks up at them.
"'Kay, no problem!" Katsuki shouts up to them.
"Nothing was wrong!"Older Katsuki growls and the younger Katsuki hears splashing coming towards him; he looks up to see Izuku holding out a hand to help him and the smile from Katsuki's face.
"Are you all right? Can you stand? It would have been bad if you hit your head." Izuku says, and Katsuki begins to glare at him.
"Don't look at me with that face!"Older Katsuki growls. "I'm… I'm way above him!"
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki walks around with a glare that could kill.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Ochaco hides behind a pillar in the bomb room; she looks out for a peak. "Found it. Now I just have to tell Deku and hide until he gets here." Ochaco thinks to herself and looks at Tenya as he talks to Yuudai in concern.
"Bakugo is a natural at being bad, but that fits this training perfectly. Then I must also devote myself to being a villain. That's right. This is another trail to turn me into a man who will not bring shame to the Iida family. Become a villain! Be dyed with evil in order to become a hero! I am extremely evil!" Tenya begins to laugh maniacally, and Yuudai lets out a sigh.
"You're taking it too seriously, four-eyes." She tells him.
"He's taking this so seriously!" Ochaco thinks to herself as she looks at the pair as Tenya continues to laugh and Yuudai walks away from him, and Ochaco can't hold in her laugh for much longer, and the couple looks over at her.
"Have you arrived, Uraraka?" Tenya calls out to her, and she moves out of her hiding place, and Yuudai blinks behind her, startled she jumps away from her.
"I knew that you would come here along the instant Kat ran off by himself. Your Quirk allows you to make the objects you touch float. That is why before you arrive I had Iida put away all the things on this floor." Yuudai explains seeming overconfident.
"Now you cannot play your little tricks! You have blundered, hero!" Tenya exclaims with overdramatic movements.
"He's starting to look… like a villain!" Ochaco stutters.
"You should have heard him practising earlier," Yuudai mumbles, as Tenya continues to laugh maniacally.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Izuku crouches down back to the wall listening out for Katsuki. "Deku!" Ochaco calls out over the comm.
"Uraraka! How's it going?" He asks her, sensing the fear in her voice.
"Iida and Honda found me." She replies as Tenya walks towards her, laughing. "Sorry!"
"I'm evil!" Tenya exclaims laughing.
"Right now, he's slowly-" Ochaco reports.
"Where are you?" Izuku asks her cutting her off.
"The middle of the fifth floor." She reports.
"Almost directly above!" Izuku says into the comm looking up at the ceiling "We probably don't have much time left, either. If we run out of time, our opponents win" I can't… I can't lose this fight!" Izuku thinks with determination and clutches at the capture tape and gets to his feet when Katsuki's gauntlet glows red for a second announcing his presence and he raises his arm as Izuku looks behind him at his childhood friend.
"They're loaded," Katsuki announces in a monotone voice.
"Kacchan," Izuku whispers under his breath.
"Why won't you use your Quirk? Are you saying you can win even if you don't use it? Are you underestimating me, Deku?" Katsuki asks him, getting angry.
"I have no choice but to do it. I can do it. I can!" Izuku thinks to himself as he faces Katsuki head-on with the capture tape tightly held in his hands. "I'm not scared of you anymore!" Izuku exclaims, and this makes Katsuki even angrier as he clenches his teeth together but stops and smirks.
"With your stalking, you probably already know. My Quirk, Explosion, lets me secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from the sweat glands on the palm of my hand and make it explode." Katsuki explains, and he spreads his right leg back as if steadying himself for something and pulls the lever, another lever pops out between the gap. "If they made this the way I asked, then these gauntlets will store the nitroglycerin inside them, and…" He hooks his finger into the lever that popped out.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"Don't tell me that's…" All Might thinks as he watches the screen and picks up the mic. "Young Bakugo, stop! Are you trying to kill him?!" All Might cries out through the mic.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki readies to pull the lever and has a crazed look in his eyes as he's about to shoot. "If I don't hit him, he won't die!" Katsuki shouts back and pulls the switch letting loose an enormous explosion that travels towards Izuku, just as it reaches Izuku, Yuudai walks around the corner and gets the full blast of the explosion, Izuku covers his face as the explosion hits. The explosion hits the side of the building, creating a tremendous rumble, Yuudai's copy lets out a scream which Katsuki hears.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Upon the fifth floor with Tenya, Ocahco and the original Yuudai, they feel the rumble from the explosion down below when Yuudai lets out a scream as she feels the effects from her dying copy and falls to the floor with a burn mark across her face.
OOOOOooooOOOO
The class in the monitoring room they also feel the rumble of the explosion and hear the screams of both Yuudai. "This is supposed to be a class!" Eijiro exclaims as the rest of the class panic.
"Young man! Young Midoriya! Young Honda!" All MIght calls out in panic.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Izuku lies on the floor, breathing heavily and looks up at Katsuki. "Is that… even allowed…?" Izuku wonders aloud, and the smoke clears, and he sees Katsuki walks towards him.
"Wow! The more that's stored in these gauntlets, the stronger the blast. Come on, use your Quirk, Deku… even if you're at full strength, I'll force you to surrender!" Katsuki smirks as anger seeps through him towards Izuku as he looks down at the terrified Izuku and can only think of Yuudai's screams of pain.
OOOOOooooOOOO
On the floor with the bomb, Tenya calls into his comm and Yuudai lies on the floor in pain as her burn mark heals. "Bakugo, answer me! Did you do that? What in the world did you do? Yuudai is in pain!" Tenya calls down into the comm.
"This is my chance!" Ochaco thinks and makes a break for the bomb.
"Explain yourself!" Tenya shouts and sees Ochaco running towards the bomb.
"If we retrieve the weapon, we'll win!" Ochaco thinks to herself as she runs and Tenya runs towards her.,
"I won't let you, hero!" Tenya shouts.
"We need to touch the weapon itself for it to count as being retrieved." Ochaco uses her Quirk to make herself float above Tenya, who comes to a stop.
"Can she make herself float now, too?" He wonders as he looks up at her.
"Release! It's a special move that's hard on my body!" She shouts as she nears the bomb and Tenya uses his Quirk to speed towards the weapon and picks it up, moving it out of the way, she tumbles to the ground and smacks into the wall.
"Your Quirk is not a threat… if you cannot touch anything." Tenya shouts and laughs again, she gets up on her knees and looks over at the laughing maniac. "I'll hold out until time comes out!"
"Deku's trying so hard, though." Ochaco thinks gritting her teeth in frustration.
OOOOOooooOOOO
A few floors below with the destruction, Izuku still sits on the floor in front of an enraged Katsuki, as Yuudai's copy begins to fade, causing more pain for the original up a few levels. "Hey, hey, what's wrong, Deku? I didn't hit you, like Yuudai, so you can still move, can't you? Come at me!" Katsuki rages.
"The explosion shot out. He had his costume made so that his Quirk would work even for long distances." Izuku thinks in fear watching the angry, explosive blond and talks into his comm. "Uraraka, what's the situation?" He asks her.
"Deku! Ignoring me again?" Katsuki growls in anger watching him.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the monitor room, the class all watch the scenes in front of them with Tenya and Uraraka having a standoff as the original Yuudai lies on the floor in pain and Izuku and Katsuki standoff and the copy Yuudai also on the floor in pain. "I can't believe him! Teacher, you should stop them! That Bakugo's really crazy! He's gonna kill him!" Eijiro warns him in fear of his peers on the floor.
"No…" All Might tells him and thinks back to what Katsuki has said. Strangely enough, part of him is still sane, even if Yuudai can't help him. I don't know if it's small-minded or what… but anyway." He thinks to himself and puts the mic to his mouth. "Young Bakugo, the next time you use that, I'll stop the fight, and your team will lose." He warns him.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki looks up in annoyance as All Might speaks through the mic. "Huh?"
"To attack on such a large scale inside is inviting the destruction of the stronghold you should be protecting. That is a foolish plan for both heroes and villains! You will lose a lot of points for it!" All Might tells him, and Katsuki's shoulders shake in anger.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"As a teacher, I should stop this. However…" All Might thinks to himself.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki groans in frustration, throwing his arms in the air and Izuku gets to his feet and talks into his comm. "Go to the pillar by the windows! Over and out."
"Fine then!" Katsuki shouts, he uses his Quirk to propel himself towards Izuku in rage. "Let's fight it out with our fists!" He comes closer, and Izuku gets ready.
"It's no good; I can't dodge it!" Izuku freaks as Katsuki comes closer and jumps into the air about to attack. "A counterattack…" Izuku balls his hand into a fist and Katsuki sees this. "Watch the timing... Now!" He goes to punch him, but Katsuki counters him and uses his Quirk propelling himself over Izuku and uses it again to stop himself from going further and hits Izuku in the back.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the monitoring room, the students all watch in horror at Katsuki's brutality. "What was that just now?" Eijiro asks aloud as Mina cowers away from the screens.
"He doesn't look like the type to think, but he's more subtle than I expected." Shoto comments, gaining attention from the others.
"What do you mean?" Eijiro asks the quiet teen.
"He changed his course in a blast that doubled as a smoke screen and then did it again immediately," Shoto explains.
"Getting in a clean hit while fighting against inertia requires fine lateral adjustments to the power of the explosions," Momo explains more.
"He's too talented… too talented… ugh..." Denki complains.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"Look, here I come! It's your favourite right swing!" Katsuki shouts as he runs towards Izuku and swings at his arm, hitting it hard making Izuku cry out in pain. "Deku!" He shouts, grabbing hold of his arm and uses his Quirk to quickly switch them around and uses his body weight to throw him to hit the ground. "You are… below me!" Izuku hits the ground and gasps in pain as his eyes go out of focus.
"He's not going to give me a chance to think. I couldn't do it after all… he's too strong… I have no choice but to use it…" Izuku thinks as he floats in the air from the hit.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"This is a lynching! He can capture for this exercise by just wrapping the tape around him!" Mina exclaims as they all watch.
"Those are not the actions of a hero." Fumikage comments from the back of the room next to Tsuyu and Shoto.
"I thought Midoriya was pretty amazing, too, but in terms of combat power, Bakugo is definitely a ball of natural instincts!" Denki comments.
"I should stop them. But… I don't want to stop them! For his sake!" All Might thinks, and they see Izuku making a run for it.
"He's running away?" Mina wonders.
"That's not something a man should do, but he has no choice," Eijiro says. "But something's strange… why?"
OOOOOooooOOOO
Izuku stops running away in front of the windows as Katsuki stalks behind him with a glare. "Why won't you use your Quirk?" He growls. "Are you underestimating me?!"
"No…" Izuku mumbles.
"You have been like this ever since we were kids… have you been underestimating me like that since then, you bastard?!" He growls more as he walks towards Izuku who bows his head.
"That's not it…" Izuku mutters and thinking back to his childhood with Yuudai and Katsuki. "You're…" Izuku looks up at Katsuki as he continues to approach him with tears in his eyes. "You're an amazing person, so that's why I want to beat you!" Katsuki grits his teeth and Izuku clenches his fist. "I want to win and surpass you, you idiot!"
"Don't look at me like that! You damn nerd!" Katsuki shouts back, and they both run at each other.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"These are the first passionate emotions he's shown other than 'I want to be a hero!' I'm sure this is necessary for you to arrive at the future you're looking at!" All Might thinks to himself as they all watch Katsuki and Izuku get closer.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Izuku activates his Quirk in his right arm that rips the rest of his costume and Katsuki uses his Quirk, creating small explosions in his palm and warms up his palm to red hot. "Detroit…"
OOOOOooooOOOO
"I said, this looks bad! Sir!" Eijiro shouts at All Might as he battles with himself as they watch Izuku and Katsuki get closer.
"Both of you, sto-" All Might begins to say into the mic.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"Let's go, Uraraka!" Izuku shouts into his comm, and Ochaco hugs one of the pillars.
"Okay!" She complies seeing Yuudai get to her feet near Tenya and the bomb.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"There's still no way I can beat you one-on-one but…" Izuku says as they gain on each other. "...Smash!" Instead of hitting Katsuki, he punches into the air, and it makes contact with the ceiling creating such damage going all the way to the top of the building breaking windows up.
OOOOOooooOOOO
On the level with Tenya, Yuudai and Ochaco, the floor rises and breaks away with the ceiling as well, Yuudai gets knocked back slightly by the wind from the hit that comes out the top. Tenya moves away from the bomb and Yuudai gets up slowly looking at the damage from Izuku's punch. "What the-" Tenya exclaims as he looks at the large hole in the floor while Ochaco uses her Quirk on the broken pillar.
"Sorry, Iida!" Ochaco shouts as he picks up the broken pillar and begins to swing it like a bat. "Improvised special move- Comet Home Run!" she screams and swings the pillar at the debris, and it goes flying towards Tenya.
"You call that a home run?!" Tenya shouts as the piles of concrete flies towards him, and she uses the distraction to use her Quirk on herself again and jumps over the hole towards the bomb.
"Release!" She says and floats towards the bomb and jumps on almost hugging the bomb. "Retrieved!"
"No…! The weapon…! The weapon…!" Tenya shouts, and it echoes down to Katsuki and Izuku.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki looks up at the damage done by Izuku's punch with anger. "That's what… from the start, you were…" Katsuki growls and lowers his head to look at Izuku. "You are underestimating me, aren't you?!"
"I wasn't... going to use it…" Izuku explains, and the smoke clears for Katsuki to see the damage done by his Quirk. "Because my body can't handle the impact… Mr Aizawa too said so… but... this was all... I could think of...!" Izuku tries to fight off the pain and lets his arm down but keeps the one that covered his face from Katsuki's blast, Katsuki looks at the damaged Izuku with an unreadable look.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the monitoring room, the countdown finishes and the room is quiet with everyone watching in shock. "Hero… Hero Team... wins!" All Might shouts, and they all see Izuku fall to the ground passing out from the pain and Katsuki stands there in shock.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Yuudai gets to her feet and sees Ochaco hugging the bomb as All Might shouts through the building and her right eye twitches and she feels her fists clench making blood begin to pool in her palm. "I lost… but I don't lose…. That's not possible… Izzy doesn't have a Quirk… not a powerful Quirk… I don't understand… how can this have happened… I don't understand… I don't understand… I don't lose… I lost… I've never lost… I can't lose…" Yuudai keeps repeating inside her head, and her eyes begin to turn completely red.
Chapter 7: The Awakening
(A/N: The story will remain in 3rd point-of-view but of course may change but you will be told)
Recap Part 1:
Upstairs in the room with the fake bomb Yuudai and Tenya guard, it and Yuudai is pacing the floor when she stops as if hearing Katsuki's shouting. "Seems it's begun." She mutters to herself and her eyes go completely white again; she has a blank look on her face as she continues watching everything that is happening between Katsuki and Izuku.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"You saw that extraordinary strength, didn't you? It appears to carry a lot of risk, though. However, you seem to be especially angry when it comes to Midoriya." Tenya comments.
"Did he dare trick us?! That damn nerd!" Katsuki seethes, and Yuudai feels the anger rolling off of him.
"Kat!" Yuudai cuts into his rage, and he looks at her. "We have work to do." She smirks her eyes turning entirely white.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"They're amazing. He's a piece of work, but his goal, his confidence, his physical strength, and his Quirk are way more amazing than mine. But Yuu's is far greater than anything. But that's why right now I don't want to lose." Izuku tells her with some confidence in his voice.
"Now, let's start the indoor person-to-person combat training with Team A and Team D!" All Might's voice rings out, and the two teams get ready.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"Come, Deku don't dodge." Katsuki taunts him.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the building, Katsuki runs towards Izuku with his fist raised. "I won't do so much damage that this fight gets stopped, but I'm gonna get close!" Katsuki warms him as he swings his left arm forward and leads with his right, but Izuku reads him and grabs his right arm.
"Wow, he's like a martial arts master!" Ochaco exclaims in relief as Izuku turns around sharply before pulling Katsuki over his shoulder.
"What's with this guy? Did he reach my moves?" Katsuki wonders as he tries igniting his Quirk, but Izuku sharpens his move and sends Katsuki on his back painfully.
"My 'Deku' isn't always going to mean 'useless'! Kacchan my 'Deku' means 'you can do it'!" Izuku finally says it, and it makes Katsuki seeth and gets to his feet standing in front of Izuku with his arms out.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Flashback:
A group of children stand in the park in their neighbourhood in front of gates with the words 'No Trespassing' warning them not to enter but the children seem carefree except for a greenette who seems nervous. "Because Kacchan and Yuu and I lived in the same neighbourhood we've known each other since we were little."Older Izuku monologues.
"Let's go kill the enemy!" Katsuki exclaims, pointing towards the open gates with a big smirk on his face.
"Okay!" Three boys and a small brunette next to Katsuki, exclaim in agreement while Izuku seems more hesitant.
"He was the type who could do anything he tried his hand at a rascal who led the group of neighbourhood kids, with Yuu leading him. "Good or bad aside Kacchan and Yuu were full of confidence, and I thought they were so cool. But… after their Quirks manifested it accelerated him down the wrong path," Izuku voices over as the children walk through the gate and into the wooded area and Yuudai and Katsuki walk in front.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Recap part 2:
"Even though you're scared…" Katsuki uses his Quirk to intimidate Izuku. "That's what I hate about you!" He shouts as he stares down Izuku with a feral look in his eyes.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Yuudai smirks as she comes back and Tenya looks at her. "Seems they've met, but Kat seems angrier than his usual self," Yuudai informs her teammate who panics, and she shrugs her shoulders. "We just need to pair them off, and Gravity Girl will come for the bomb as Izzy hides from the murderous Kat." She explains and jumps on the comm. "Kat, go for Izzy and make sure the girls not there." She tells him and hears a growl as a response.
OOOOOooooOOOO
With Katsuki and Izuku with Ochaco split from him, the two stare each other down. "All men are not created equal. This was the reality I learned about society at the young age of four." Izuku finishes his monologue as he stares down his childhood friend.
"Hey, Bakugo! Give me your status! What happened?" Tenya says over the comm, and Katsuki growls and hits the comm in turn.
"Just shut up and defend with Dai," Katsuki growls into the comm.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"I'm really angry right now!" Katsuki growls over the comm to Tenya.
"I'm not asking about how you feel!" Tenya snaps at him, and Yuudai snaps out of her trance before looking at the upset knight, and Katsuki gets annoyed and hangs up on him. "Hey! He hung up! Going off on his own like that. What is wrong with him?! Jeez!" Tenya shouts flailing his arms around, Yuudai smirks at him. "What?" He seems almost slightly calmer.
"I have an idea." She tells him.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the monitor room with the rest of the class and All Might. "What was Bakugo saying? Can't tell with just the cameras in a fixed position and no sound." Eijiro comments as they all watch the two teams on the multiple screens on the one large screen.
"He's talking to his partners over the small wireless radio. You can bring that plus the building's floor plan and this capture tape! Once you wrap this around your opponent, it shows that you have captured them." All Might explains to the class.
"The time limit is 15-minutes, and the heroes don't know where the nuclear weapon is located, right?" Mina asks.
"Yes!" All Might answers.
"The heroes are clearly at a disadvantage here!" Mina points out.
"Heroes should be able to turn the tables on whatever predicament they're in, besides, didn't Mr Aizawa tell you, too? You know-" All Might says. "Here we go-"
"Plus Ultra!" They all shout together.
"Monsieur, Bakugo is-" Yuga cuts in, and they all turn to see what is happening on the screen.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the building's hallway with Izuku, Ochaco and Katsuki, he swipes his arm back and uses his Quirk to set off a small explosion. "Uraraka, go!" Izuku shouts out to her as Katsuki propels himself forward and kicks the side of Izuku, but he deflects it with his arm.
"Looking away? You must be sure of yourself." Katsuki growls when he notices that Izuku is using the capture tape to tie around his ankle. "The capture tape-?!"
"Hero notebook number 10, page 18! I'm glad I got to see Eraser Head's moves in person! What's next? If it's Kacchan, he'll be impatient and swing with his right again!" Izuku thinks to himself and sees Katsuki go for a swing with his right and dodges out of the way as Katsuki hits the wall setting off an explosion. "I was right!"
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the monitor room, the class all watch the exchange of blows. "That guy's amazing!" Rikido exclaims pumping a fist in celebration.
"He's not even using his Quirk fighting against the guy who finished second in the entrance exam!" Hanta adds on.
"He was always good at reacting quickly in a crisis. He spent years writing his notes and internalising them. That fanboy knowledge is now paying off as it propels him forward." All Might thinks to himself as he watches his student.
"Honda's using that copy demon again!" Denki exclaims and points towards the screen with Tenya and Yuudai with the bomb.
OOOOOooooOOOO
A copy of Yuudai rises from the small drop of blood on the floor, and the original one stands next to the bomb with Tenya seeming squeamish. "I'll try to help the bombshell blond." The copy Yuudai comments and walks out of the room.
"This should help focus him on the main objective if not well we can waste time." The original Yuudai says and looks over at Tenya. "Don't like blood?" she asks him, and he shakes his head slightly.
"Just not use to your Quirk is all," Tenya replies and she nods in understanding.
"Don't worry, there is one of my add-ons that even get to Kat, he freaks out, but I don't use that one, it's too dangerous." She remarks and walks over to one of the beams leaning against it.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Back with Katsuki and Izuku, he stays crouched looking at his childhood friend trying to catch his breath and thinks over his options. "He kicked first this time to keep me from predicting his moves. He's being cautious now." Katsuki readies to propel himself using his Quirk again, but Izuku runs away.
"Come back here, Deku!" Katsuki shouts after him feeling more rage as he runs after the greenette.
"I can't get close to him as easily anymore. I need a plan." Izuku thinks as he runs away trying to avoid the raging blond chasing after him.
OOOOOooooOOOO
The copy of Yuudai runs around the hallways and stops looking around the number of choices. "Hey! You tricked me, didn't you?! Was it fun tricking us all this time?! Huh?! You have got a flashy Quirk there, don't you?! Try and get me with it! 'Cause I'm way above you!" Katsuki shouts, and it echoes around the hallways, the copy runs towards Katsuki's voice as he shouts, she finds him making small explosions with a glare, she sighs strolling towards him. She taps him on the shoulder, he turns around expecting Izuku for some reason and goes to hit her, but she grabs his arm, stopping the attack.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the monitoring room, the class watch as Yuudai and Katsuki shout at each other. "They seem real angry. It's scary!" Denki exclaims watching the screens with the rest.
"I had heard from young Midoriya that young Bakugo thinks well of himself, but this is too much. And that young Honda is the only one who can calm him down but is competitive and always has a plan." All Might thinks over as he watches Yuudai make another copy and the trio split up looking for Midoriya as Tenya and the original Yuudai stand watch.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Izuku crouches against a wall hearing Katsuki knocking down several doors as he tries to think over his situation. "He completely ignored Uraraka and shot at me. I knew it. If they were going to send an advance guard, it would have been better to send Iida or Yuu, who has more mobility and fighting ability, and I'm sure he knows that. That probably means he's running wild on his own, and the three of them aren't working together. In the first place, our chances of winning are lowest if we have a head-to-head battle with those three. If Uraraka and I both went to the hideout, that's what would happen." Izuku strategies thinking over all the outcomes and his first plan comes with Katsuki getting them once they reach the hideout with Tenya and Yuudai standing guard. "And even if the two of us stayed here to fight Kacchan, we're in danger of running out of time. This is fine. All that's left is for Uraraka to find the weapon and Iida and Yuu, and then I'll head over for a 2-on-1 fight as Yuu will go to find Kacchan. That's how we can win. That's assuming I can beat Kacchan, though. And avoid Yuu, it's fine. As long as I'm careful of his palms, I can do this." Izuku finishes his plans and clenches his fist trying to pump himself up for the upcoming fight, unaware that there are now three copies of Yuudai in the building.
"Where are you?! You damn nerd!" Katsuki shouts and Izuku grows serious thinking back.
"And I forgot to tell you, Kacchan-" Izuku thinks back to that day in class in middle school when it was announced he was applying for U.A. and he narrows his eyes. "I take back everything I said!"
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki strolls along the hallways with a glare, clenching his teeth together in anger, thinking about Izuku with hate. "He's just a pebble!" Katsuki growls inside his head and thinks back to their childhood as kids.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Flashback:
In the playground, Izuku and Katsuki play with grins, Katsuki bounces the ball on his knee as Izuku watches. "Wow, Kacchan!" Izuku gushes over the blond.
"This is easy!" Katsuki boasts about himself as Izuku tries to copy but hits himself in the head.
"Ow!" Izuku cries out as he lands on the ground rubbing his head, and the ball rolls away, and Yuudai walks over, picking it up.
"Izuku, you really can't do anything, can you?" Katsuki teases him, and Yuudai slaps Katsuki over the head.
"Don't be mean, Kat," She scolds him.
The next time they were in the playground, Katsuki shows the trio of his followers Izuku's yellow bucket as Izuku and Yuudai stand away from them. "You can read the characters for 'Izuku' as 'Deku' you know." Katsuki shows off.
"Kacchan, you can read?" One of the followers asks him seeming impressed, but Yuudai just frowns crossing her arms.
"You can't?" She asks him, and Katsuki looks over at her.
"And 'Deku' means someone who can't do anything!" Katsuki teases Izuku and the others besides Izuku and Yuudai seem impressed.
"Stop that.." Izuku sulks and Yuudai marches over to Katsuki and smacks him over the head, sending him to the ground.
"Kat stop teasing Izuku." She warns him, and he looks up at her with a glare, but she just glares back at him.
OOOOOooooOOOO
At the local river, the trio of followers watch as Katsuki skips a rock and Izuku and Yuudai stand to the side. "Kacchan, how many times did yours skip?" One of his followers as him.
"Seven!" Katsuki boasts again seeming overconfident.
"Wow!"
"As expected!" The followers exclaim in cheers boosting Katsuki's ego.
"What about you, Deku?" Katsuki asks him.
"Z-zero times…" Izuku sulks and Yuudai picks up a pebble and skips it around 11 times, the boys all look at her in shock.
"Look, Kat, I beat you!" Yuudai cheers, and he sulks crossing his arms.
OOOOOooooOOOO
At school, Katsuki stands in the middle of the class showing off his new Quirk that has just developed. "Wow! Lucky! That's so cool!" The students all exclaim in awe.
"Wow, that's an amazing Quirk!" The male teacher gushes.
"It really is! It's a flashy Quirk just right for a hero, right, Katsuki?" The female teacher adds on, and Katsuki stands in the adoring crowd, and it's the beginning of his oversized ego.
"I'm amazing! No one is as amazing as I am!"Katsuki thinks to himself with a big grin on his face when the door opens to Yuudai, the class all look to see her in sunglasses, a mask and her hair is entirely different now a light blue colour.
"Hey, who's that!" One of the children calls out.
"It's me, Yuudai Honda," She replies, and the teachers walk over to her inspecting her choice of accessories.
"What's happened to your hair!" A boy asks her, and she touches it.
"I got my Quirk last night," She answers and takes off her sunglasses and mask showing her black and purple eyes and sharp teeth.
"What a freak!" A girl shouts out, and the rest of the class laugh, Yuudai clenches her fists in anger.
"White Eyes: Telekinesis!"Yuudai shouts, raising her arm in the air and the girl gets thrown across the room.
"Leave Dai alone!" Katsuki snaps as he runs towards her and the teachers run over to the offended girl who is crying.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the forest, Katsuki leads the ground with Yuudai next to him as she ties her hair into plaits as they walk. "You're so lucky, Kacchan, Yuu. Your Quirks are so cool! I hope I get mine soon, too." Izuku gushes at the two in front of them.
"No matter what Quirk you get, you'll never beat me." Katsuki taunts him turning his head to look back at him.
"Kat, leave Izuku alone," Yuudai tells him, slapping the back of the head.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki walks with a glare around a corner trying to find Izuku. "He's just a pebble!" Katsuki growls in his head as he walks up to the next level.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Flashback:
Young Izuku sits on the floor of their classroom with the rest of the class standing around him, teasing him and Katsuki and Yuudai stand to the side. "Hey, did you hear? Deku doesn't have a Quirk." One student says.
"What? Really?" Another asks
"Yea, it's called being 'Quirkless'." another announces.
"That's so lame."
"Too bad for him."
"He's so weird!" More students tease him.
"Don't worry about it, Izuku" The female teacher tries to calm him, but he's not responding.
"You're the least amazing, Deku." Katsuki thinks to himself.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki walks across a fallen tree over a small shallow stream with his three minions and Izuku using his Quirk as Yuudai climbs from below using her Quirk. "Forward march, members of the Bakugo Hero Agency!" Katsuki sings when he slips and falls into the stream.
"Kacchan!" One of the minions shouts in worry for the blond.
"Kacchan! Hey, are you okay?" The middle minion shouts down.
"He's fine. Kacchan's real strong!" The other minion boasts. "See?" Katsuki pops out of the water.
"I was fine!" Older Katsuki growls.
"Hurry up and get back up here!" Yuudai shouts as she climbs up to stand on the tree log and Katsuki looks up at them.
"'Kay, no problem!" Katsuki shouts up to them.
"Nothing was wrong!"Older Katsuki growls and the younger Katsuki hears splashing coming towards him; he looks up to see Izuku holding out a hand to help him and the smile from Katsuki's face.
"Are you all right? Can you stand? It would have been bad if you hit your head." Izuku says, and Katsuki begins to glare at him.
"Don't look at me with that face!"Older Katsuki growls. "I'm… I'm way above him!"
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki walks around with a glare that could kill.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Ochaco hides behind a pillar in the bomb room; she looks out for a peak. "Found it. Now I just have to tell Deku and hide until he gets here." Ochaco thinks to herself and looks at Tenya as he talks to Yuudai in concern.
"Bakugo is a natural at being bad, but that fits this training perfectly. Then I must also devote myself to being a villain. That's right. This is another trail to turn me into a man who will not bring shame to the Iida family. Become a villain! Be dyed with evil in order to become a hero! I am extremely evil!" Tenya begins to laugh maniacally, and Yuudai lets out a sigh.
"You're taking it too seriously, four-eyes." She tells him.
"He's taking this so seriously!" Ochaco thinks to herself as she looks at the pair as Tenya continues to laugh and Yuudai walks away from him, and Ochaco can't hold in her laugh for much longer, and the couple looks over at her.
"Have you arrived, Uraraka?" Tenya calls out to her, and she moves out of her hiding place, and Yuudai blinks behind her, startled she jumps away from her.
"I knew that you would come here along the instant Kat ran off by himself. Your Quirk allows you to make the objects you touch float. That is why before you arrive I had Iida put away all the things on this floor." Yuudai explains seeming overconfident.
"Now you cannot play your little tricks! You have blundered, hero!" Tenya exclaims with overdramatic movements.
"He's starting to look… like a villain!" Ochaco stutters.
"You should have heard him practising earlier," Yuudai mumbles, as Tenya continues to laugh maniacally.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Izuku crouches down back to the wall listening out for Katsuki. "Deku!" Ochaco calls out over the comm.
"Uraraka! How's it going?" He asks her, sensing the fear in her voice.
"Iida and Honda found me." She replies as Tenya walks towards her, laughing. "Sorry!"
"I'm evil!" Tenya exclaims laughing.
"Right now, he's slowly-" Ochaco reports.
"Where are you?" Izuku asks her cutting her off.
"The middle of the fifth floor." She reports.
"Almost directly above!" Izuku says into the comm looking up at the ceiling "We probably don't have much time left, either. If we run out of time, our opponents win" I can't… I can't lose this fight!" Izuku thinks with determination and clutches at the capture tape and gets to his feet when Katsuki's gauntlet glows red for a second announcing his presence and he raises his arm as Izuku looks behind him at his childhood friend.
"They're loaded," Katsuki announces in a monotone voice.
"Kacchan," Izuku whispers under his breath.
"Why won't you use your Quirk? Are you saying you can win even if you don't use it? Are you underestimating me, Deku?" Katsuki asks him, getting angry.
"I have no choice but to do it. I can do it. I can!" Izuku thinks to himself as he faces Katsuki head-on with the capture tape tightly held in his hands. "I'm not scared of you anymore!" Izuku exclaims, and this makes Katsuki even angrier as he clenches his teeth together but stops and smirks.
"With your stalking, you probably already know. My Quirk, Explosion, lets me secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from the sweat glands on the palm of my hand and make it explode." Katsuki explains, and he spreads his right leg back as if steadying himself for something and pulls the lever, another lever pops out between the gap. "If they made this the way I asked, then these gauntlets will store the nitroglycerin inside them, and…" He hooks his finger into the lever that popped out.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"Don't tell me that's…" All Might thinks as he watches the screen and picks up the mic. "Young Bakugo, stop! Are you trying to kill him?!" All Might cries out through the mic.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki readies to pull the lever and has a crazed look in his eyes as he's about to shoot. "If I don't hit him, he won't die!" Katsuki shouts back and pulls the switch letting loose an enormous explosion that travels towards Izuku, just as it reaches Izuku, Yuudai walks around the corner and gets the full blast of the explosion, Izuku covers his face as the explosion hits. The explosion hits the side of the building, creating a tremendous rumble, Yuudai's copy lets out a scream which Katsuki hears.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Upon the fifth floor with Tenya, Ocahco and the original Yuudai, they feel the rumble from the explosion down below when Yuudai lets out a scream as she feels the effects from her dying copy and falls to the floor with a burn mark across her face.
OOOOOooooOOOO
The class in the monitoring room they also feel the rumble of the explosion and hear the screams of both Yuudai. "This is supposed to be a class!" Eijiro exclaims as the rest of the class panic.
"Young man! Young Midoriya! Young Honda!" All MIght calls out in panic.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Izuku lies on the floor, breathing heavily and looks up at Katsuki. "Is that… even allowed…?" Izuku wonders aloud, and the smoke clears, and he sees Katsuki walks towards him.
"Wow! The more that's stored in these gauntlets, the stronger the blast. Come on, use your Quirk, Deku… even if you're at full strength, I'll force you to surrender!" Katsuki smirks as anger seeps through him towards Izuku as he looks down at the terrified Izuku and can only think of Yuudai's screams of pain.
OOOOOooooOOOO
On the floor with the bomb, Tenya calls into his comm and Yuudai lies on the floor in pain as her burn mark heals. "Bakugo, answer me! Did you do that? What in the world did you do? Yuudai is in pain!" Tenya calls down into the comm.
"This is my chance!" Ochaco thinks and makes a break for the bomb.
"Explain yourself!" Tenya shouts and sees Ochaco running towards the bomb.
"If we retrieve the weapon, we'll win!" Ochaco thinks to herself as she runs and Tenya runs towards her.,
"I won't let you, hero!" Tenya shouts.
"We need to touch the weapon itself for it to count as being retrieved." Ochaco uses her Quirk to make herself float above Tenya, who comes to a stop.
"Can she make herself float now, too?" He wonders as he looks up at her.
"Release! It's a special move that's hard on my body!" She shouts as she nears the bomb and Tenya uses his Quirk to speed towards the weapon and picks it up, moving it out of the way, she tumbles to the ground and smacks into the wall.
"Your Quirk is not a threat… if you cannot touch anything." Tenya shouts and laughs again, she gets up on her knees and looks over at the laughing maniac. "I'll hold out until time comes out!"
"Deku's trying so hard, though." Ochaco thinks gritting her teeth in frustration.
OOOOOooooOOOO
A few floors below with the destruction, Izuku still sits on the floor in front of an enraged Katsuki, as Yuudai's copy begins to fade, causing more pain for the original up a few levels. "Hey, hey, what's wrong, Deku? I didn't hit you, like Yuudai, so you can still move, can't you? Come at me!" Katsuki rages.
"The explosion shot out. He had his costume made so that his Quirk would work even for long distances." Izuku thinks in fear watching the angry, explosive blond and talks into his comm. "Uraraka, what's the situation?" He asks her.
"Deku! Ignoring me again?" Katsuki growls in anger watching him.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the monitor room, the class all watch the scenes in front of them with Tenya and Uraraka having a standoff as the original Yuudai lies on the floor in pain and Izuku and Katsuki standoff and the copy Yuudai also on the floor in pain. "I can't believe him! Teacher, you should stop them! That Bakugo's really crazy! He's gonna kill him!" Eijiro warns him in fear of his peers on the floor.
"No…" All Might tells him and thinks back to what Katsuki has said. Strangely enough, part of him is still sane, even if Yuudai can't help him. I don't know if it's small-minded or what… but anyway." He thinks to himself and puts the mic to his mouth. "Young Bakugo, the next time you use that, I'll stop the fight, and your team will lose." He warns him.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki looks up in annoyance as All Might speaks through the mic. "Huh?"
"To attack on such a large scale inside is inviting the destruction of the stronghold you should be protecting. That is a foolish plan for both heroes and villains! You will lose a lot of points for it!" All Might tells him, and Katsuki's shoulders shake in anger.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"As a teacher, I should stop this. However…" All Might thinks to himself.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki groans in frustration, throwing his arms in the air and Izuku gets to his feet and talks into his comm. "Go to the pillar by the windows! Over and out."
"Fine then!" Katsuki shouts, he uses his Quirk to propel himself towards Izuku in rage. "Let's fight it out with our fists!" He comes closer, and Izuku gets ready.
"It's no good; I can't dodge it!" Izuku freaks as Katsuki comes closer and jumps into the air about to attack. "A counterattack…" Izuku balls his hand into a fist and Katsuki sees this. "Watch the timing... Now!" He goes to punch him, but Katsuki counters him and uses his Quirk propelling himself over Izuku and uses it again to stop himself from going further and hits Izuku in the back.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the monitoring room, the students all watch in horror at Katsuki's brutality. "What was that just now?" Eijiro asks aloud as Mina cowers away from the screens.
"He doesn't look like the type to think, but he's more subtle than I expected." Shoto comments, gaining attention from the others.
"What do you mean?" Eijiro asks the quiet teen.
"He changed his course in a blast that doubled as a smoke screen and then did it again immediately," Shoto explains.
"Getting in a clean hit while fighting against inertia requires fine lateral adjustments to the power of the explosions," Momo explains more.
"He's too talented… too talented… ugh..." Denki complains.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"Look, here I come! It's your favourite right swing!" Katsuki shouts as he runs towards Izuku and swings at his arm, hitting it hard making Izuku cry out in pain. "Deku!" He shouts, grabbing hold of his arm and uses his Quirk to quickly switch them around and uses his body weight to throw him to hit the ground. "You are… below me!" Izuku hits the ground and gasps in pain as his eyes go out of focus.
"He's not going to give me a chance to think. I couldn't do it after all… he's too strong… I have no choice but to use it…" Izuku thinks as he floats in the air from the hit.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"This is a lynching! He can capture for this exercise by just wrapping the tape around him!" Mina exclaims as they all watch.
"Those are not the actions of a hero." Fumikage comments from the back of the room next to Tsuyu and Shoto.
"I thought Midoriya was pretty amazing, too, but in terms of combat power, Bakugo is definitely a ball of natural instincts!" Denki comments.
"I should stop them. But… I don't want to stop them! For his sake!" All Might thinks, and they see Izuku making a run for it.
"He's running away?" Mina wonders.
"That's not something a man should do, but he has no choice," Eijiro says. "But something's strange… why?"
OOOOOooooOOOO
Izuku stops running away in front of the windows as Katsuki stalks behind him with a glare. "Why won't you use your Quirk?" He growls. "Are you underestimating me?!"
"No…" Izuku mumbles.
"You have been like this ever since we were kids… have you been underestimating me like that since then, you bastard?!" He growls more as he walks towards Izuku who bows his head.
"That's not it…" Izuku mutters and thinking back to his childhood with Yuudai and Katsuki. "You're…" Izuku looks up at Katsuki as he continues to approach him with tears in his eyes. "You're an amazing person, so that's why I want to beat you!" Katsuki grits his teeth and Izuku clenches his fist. "I want to win and surpass you, you idiot!"
"Don't look at me like that! You damn nerd!" Katsuki shouts back, and they both run at each other.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"These are the first passionate emotions he's shown other than 'I want to be a hero!' I'm sure this is necessary for you to arrive at the future you're looking at!" All Might thinks to himself as they all watch Katsuki and Izuku get closer.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Izuku activates his Quirk in his right arm that rips the rest of his costume and Katsuki uses his Quirk, creating small explosions in his palm and warms up his palm to red hot. "Detroit…"
OOOOOooooOOOO
"I said, this looks bad! Sir!" Eijiro shouts at All Might as he battles with himself as they watch Izuku and Katsuki get closer.
"Both of you, sto-" All Might begins to say into the mic.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"Let's go, Uraraka!" Izuku shouts into his comm, and Ochaco hugs one of the pillars.
"Okay!" She complies seeing Yuudai get to her feet near Tenya and the bomb.
OOOOOooooOOOO
"There's still no way I can beat you one-on-one but…" Izuku says as they gain on each other. "...Smash!" Instead of hitting Katsuki, he punches into the air, and it makes contact with the ceiling creating such damage going all the way to the top of the building breaking windows up.
OOOOOooooOOOO
On the level with Tenya, Yuudai and Ochaco, the floor rises and breaks away with the ceiling as well, Yuudai gets knocked back slightly by the wind from the hit that comes out the top. Tenya moves away from the bomb and Yuudai gets up slowly looking at the damage from Izuku's punch. "What the-" Tenya exclaims as he looks at the large hole in the floor while Ochaco uses her Quirk on the broken pillar.
"Sorry, Iida!" Ochaco shouts as he picks up the broken pillar and begins to swing it like a bat. "Improvised special move- Comet Home Run!" she screams and swings the pillar at the debris, and it goes flying towards Tenya.
"You call that a home run?!" Tenya shouts as the piles of concrete flies towards him, and she uses the distraction to use her Quirk on herself again and jumps over the hole towards the bomb.
"Release!" She says and floats towards the bomb and jumps on almost hugging the bomb. "Retrieved!"
"No…! The weapon…! The weapon…!" Tenya shouts, and it echoes down to Katsuki and Izuku.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Katsuki looks up at the damage done by Izuku's punch with anger. "That's what… from the start, you were…" Katsuki growls and lowers his head to look at Izuku. "You are underestimating me, aren't you?!"
"I wasn't... going to use it…" Izuku explains, and the smoke clears for Katsuki to see the damage done by his Quirk. "Because my body can't handle the impact… Mr Aizawa too said so… but... this was all... I could think of...!" Izuku tries to fight off the pain and lets his arm down but keeps the one that covered his face from Katsuki's blast, Katsuki looks at the damaged Izuku with an unreadable look.
OOOOOooooOOOO
In the monitoring room, the countdown finishes and the room is quiet with everyone watching in shock. "Hero… Hero Team... wins!" All Might shouts, and they all see Izuku fall to the ground passing out from the pain and Katsuki stands there in shock.
OOOOOooooOOOO
Yuudai gets to her feet and sees Ochaco hugging the bomb as All Might shouts through the building and her right eye twitches and she feels her fists clench making blood begin to pool in her palm. "I lost… but I don't lose…. That's not possible… Izzy doesn't have a Quirk… not a powerful Quirk… I don't understand… how can this have happened… I don't understand… I don't understand… I don't lose… I lost… I've never lost… I can't lose…" Yuudai keeps repeating inside her head, and her eyes begin to turn completely red.
