Explosive Pathway to Heroic Victory
Izuku can already tell from the way Katsuki said that he's "loaded up" and held up his right gauntlet, he quickly put up a defensive stance.
"Oh, you better go on the defense, Deku. Because I'm going to show you just how powerful I really am once I let loose this bad boy." Katsuki smirked, really excited to show his rival what he can do now.
"(Seems like Kacchan has prepare something since making his hero costume request, that means it's gonna be something big. Even so, I'll face it head!)" Izuku thought determined.
"Then bring it on, I'm not scared of you, Kacchan!" Izuku stated strongly which only made Katsuki angry, but the expression change to a confident smirk.
"Since you're such a stalker on Quirks and all, by now you probably know how my Quirk Explosion works. I secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from my hands and make it blow up. Imagine what I can do if I had a lot of it." Katsuki bragged about his Quirk.
A lot of it, if Katsuki was able to gather a lot more explosive sweat in one place, then his power would indeed be something to feat about and that's what Izuku came realize about those gauntlets.
"That's right…" Katsuki smirked, pulling the handle and a pin pop out.
"These gauntlets aren't just for show. They've been storing up my sweat inside for one monster blast." Katsuki revealed with one finger on the pin, ready to pull.
(Monitoring Room)
"(No, he's going too far!)" All Might thought feared.
"Young Bakugo! Don't do it! You'll kill him!" All Might tried to reason with the raging boy from unleashing that big attack.
(Back with Izuku vs Katsuki)
"He'll be fine as long as he dodges!" Katsuki excited to try out this bad boy and know that his so-called rival will be able to survive this attack.
Katsuki pulls the pin and unleashes that monster blast right at Izuku who is very surprised of how big this attack is and quickly increases his power at least up to 10% hoping that it would help him get out of this alive.
The power of that exploding attack was even more than even Katsuki could have predicted as the shockwave of that explosion is shaking the entire building, which surprises everyone.
(With Tsuyu)
"Ribbit! What's that shaking?" Tsuyu asked.
All this loud and hard shaking has caused Tsuyu's long ponytail bow to fall out and stick out from the pillar she was hiding behind that Tenya was able to see.
"AHA! I knew I smell the wrecked scent of a hero! Come on out, if you dare!" Tenya called out in his villainous persona.
"(Looks like I've been spotted. No point in hiding now.)" Tsuyu thought hoped to hide a little longer for Deku, but she jumps out of hiding to face Tenya.
"(But still, that loud sound must mean something big just happened downstairs with Izuku. I hope he's okay.)" Tsuyu thought worried.
(With Izuku)
"Young Midoriya! Come in, come in!" All Might tried to call Izuku, hoping he's okay.
Izuku is shown to be sitting on one knee with his right up holding up for defense with only a burn mark on the fabric and there is also a hole of three baseballs stack up together with a very tiny burn mark on the skin.
"Shit! Glad I was able to dodge that in time, but man! Is something like that eve allowed?" Izuku asked shock.
Katsuki walks through the smoke clouds letting out a laugh of how amazing that blast was just now.
"These are awesome! The more nitro sweat that's stored in these gauntlets, the stronger the explosion is." Katsuki smirked with the left gauntlet glows red like the other one.
"Go ahead, try winning against me with that full power of yours. Even if you give me everything you got, you'll never beat me!" Katsuki smiled a little insanely.
"(Damn it, now Kacchan has himself a long-range attack. But I don't I have to worry about him using another one anytime soon.)" Izuku thought stood up and assume his fighting stance.
(With Tenya and Tsuyu)
"Bakugo, come in! What is going on down there? Did you cause that blast?" Tenya asked, trying to speak to his partner.
"(He's distracted, now's my chance!)" Tsuyu thought decided to take action as she jumps onto one pillar and then to another.
"(I just need to touch the weapon and the match will be overs!)" Tsuyu thought determined.
"Not so fast, hero!" Tenya speeds himself to the pillar in order to grab the frog girl.
"Are you sure about that!" Tsuyu said before she spat out her tongue going for the weapon.
Tenya gasp upon seeing the tongue about to reach the weapon and made an instant sharp turn to move faster than the long tongue can travel, he manages to grab the weapon and moves it away before the tongue could make contact.
"Nice try, but you're gonna have to be faster than that if you want to touch this weapon and destroy our evil plan." Tenya glared with an evil smirk under his helmet.
"(This is gonna be harder than I thought, but I won't back down. I have win this for Izuku and myself.)" Tsuyu thought refused to give up.
And then she thought of an idea in her head.
"Okay then, let see if you'll still be proud of your speed when I catch you!" Tsuyu jumped off from the pillar and above Tenya to latch her tongue at him.
"Fool! You can't catch me even in my lowest speed!" Tenya mocked while dodging a barrage of her tongue whipping at him.
"(That's what I'm counting on.)" Tsuyu thought landed on the floor and attack with her tongue again.
(With Izuku vs Katsuki)
Izuku charges at Katsuki throwing some punches and swinging some kicks at his opponent's right gauntlet, he's also moving fast to force Katsuki on the defense which is working well.
"Damn it, you're trying to attack me from my right side!" Katsuki glared.
"That's right, I'm not giving you the chance to use that long-range attack again!" Izuku explained a bit.
"Is that right? Let see how long you can keep this up!" Katsuki dodged one punch and push Izuku back with one hand explosion.
But Izuku was able to jump back at the last second to avoid the full force of that close-up attack.
"Hey Tsuyu, how are things looking up there?" Izuku asked.
"Nowhere fast, Iida's speed is difficult to handle so I'm keeping my distance the best I can. But I'm also hatching a plan to get the weapon." Tsuyu explained.
"Oh, really? That sounds great." Izuku smiled.
"Hey! Don't you dare ignore me!?" Katsuki shouted.
"Maybe I need to give you a reminder!" Katsuki held up his right gauntlet, ready to use that attack again.
(Monitoring Room)
"Sir, isn't this getting out of hand? That Bakugo is acting real crazy. He's gonna kill him." Eijir concerned for his classmates.
"Don't worry, he never brings himself to actually kill someone like his long-time childhood friend." Oriha assured.
"What makes you say that?" Kyoka asked.
"My mom always taught me to search of the person within themselves than judging them from the outside, and from what I'm seeing. Katsuki wants to be a hero more than anything in the entire world, like Izuku and more than some of us, that means he doesn't want to make himself a hero who kills even when he's at the raging, boiling point of a rockstar about to unleash some shredding on his guitar." Oriha stated.
"Oh, I get it. Even when he's all rage crazy on the outside, he's keeping himself cool on the inside and know when to hold back." Kyoka nodded, interested in the rockstar part.
"Hold on, you actually got all that?" Ochaco puzzled.
"In which case, she is right about Katsuki not trying to kill him." Arashi said while looking at the screen.
"You are all correct, but even so. I should make sure Bakugo doesn't pull a stunt like that again." All Might said.
"Bakugo, use that stored-up power again and I'll stop this fight. Your team will lose." All Might informed.
(Back with Izuku vs Katsuki)
"Huh?" Katsuki shocked.
"To employ such a strong attack indoors is inviting the destruction of the stronghold you should be protecting. That's a poor strategy, whether you're a hero or a villain. The penalty would be a massive loss of points." All Might
Katsuki grunts that he can't use his special attack anymore because of the training exercise's purpose, but he didn't want to get in trouble with the idol he wishes to surpass one day, not when he can still show that he can be a better hero than him.
"(Looks like that part worked out better for me.)" Izuku thought smiled.
(Monitoring Room)
"He looks angry, but at least he'll listen to the rules now." Kyoka commented.
"Let just hope he doesn't blow his head off." Denki joked a little and worry at the same time.
"(I know that as a teacher, I should stop this fight now. But…)" All Might thought wanted to see how Young Midoriya will be able to handle Young Bakugo like how it was during the match.
"Come on, Deku! Tsu! Win this!" Ochaco prayed for them to win this fight.
(Back with Izuku vs Katsuki)
Seeing no other way to continue the fight without breaking the rules, Katsuki decided to just finish Deku off up close.
"Okay, I'll trust you to end this match." Deku nodded as Katsuki let out a scream.
(Music: Bloody Power Fame, coldrain)
"Fine! We'll fight hand-to-hand!" Katsuki blasted himself forward charging at Izuku.
Izuku gets into his defense stance readying himself for whatever attack his opponent is about to throw at him, he saw Katsuki throwing a kick to the face and Izuku responds with a spin kick.
But that's what Katsuki was expecting him to do as he moves one hand facing down to propel himself in the air and over Izuku then moves his arm instantly to throw an explosive attack on the back hurting the boy while using his other hand to stop his movement in the air for that one moment.
"Damn! He got it!" Izuku grunted before turning around.
(Monitoring Room)
"What was that move?" Eijiro shocked.
"It was almost like his body moved faster than he could react." Kyoka surprised.
"That's because he was able to react fast on that." Mikoto stated.
"Yeah, he doesn't come off as a guy with a strategy, but he's actually quite intelligent." Shoto said, surprising the other students.
"What are you talking about?" Eijiro asked.
"Yeah, how is Bakugo being smart during that flight?" Yuu asked as well.
"He changed his trajectory while in midair using a blast that doubled as a smokescreen. Very clever." Shoto explained and commented on that too.
"A feint attack like that takes an extreme amount of precision. He had to calculate the physics and demonstrate control over his Quirk." Momo stated as well.
"In other words, he is a beast with the mind of a strategist." Mikoto concluded the explanation.
"Ugh… Bakugo is uber talented, I hate it." Denki groaned.
"From what I can tell, it would seem both of them are equal in close combat." Arashi noticed this too.
(Izuku vs Katsuki)
Izuku and Katsuki continue with their fierce rivalry battle trading blow for blow as the former is landing some good hits on the exploding boy while he also lands on explosive hits of his own.
"Here's the right hook you love so much!" Katsuki swung his right arm hitting Izuku's arm on defense and added a kick to the stomach.
"Don't think I'm done yet!" Izuku shouted as he decided to try something.
Izuku jumps at Katsuki as he rolls himself forward and threw down an axe-kick for the head though Katsuki leans backward to dodge that, barely getting a graze on the chin.
However, something happened to Izuku as his other leg moved a little faster than what he normally moves and landed a kick right onto Katsuki's chest causing such damage that made him cough up like the wind was knocked out of his lungs and sent flying to the wall close to a window.
"(Huh, what was that?)" Izuku thought surprised at himself and look at his hands and legs.
"(It almost felt like I've gotten faster just now.)" Izuku thought wondered if One for All just grew a bit more powerful in that instant moment.
"Fuck…! You think you're so special, finally gained a Quirk that makes you stronger than me and having your damn hero family training you. Don't think you're above me like I'm nothing!" Katsuki angered with a fierce glare.
"Kacchan… Is that what you think I see you?" Izuku asked, surprise that Katsuki would even think he would mock his childhood friend and someone he looked up for a long time.
"Not once have I thought of you below me. Sure, you were a pain in the ass with your raging attitude, but your ambition and willpower are something I always admire even now." Izuku stated, clutching his fists.
"Don't you see! You're so amazing is exactly the reason why I wanna beat you!" Izuku screamed of determination.
What Izuku didn't know is that when he shouted out his feelings to his rival, the power of One for All resonated with those feelings increasing the power output to 8%.
"You're such a damn idiot. Come at me!" Katsuki shouted.
The two charges at each other in their top speed starting the clash of strike with fist meeting explosions with some of the attacks connecting onto their bodies, and they are harder with each strike.
(Monitoring Room)
"Okay, now this is getting crazy?!" Minoru gasped.
"Sir! They're going to kill each other if you don't stop this!" Mikoto begged All Might to stop the match.
"Yeah!" Eijiro nodded, not wanting to see his classmates get hurt.
"Not to worry, this match is already over." All Might smiled and pointed at one screen causing all the other students to look as well.
(With Izuku vs Katsuki)
Izuku and Katsuki glare at each other with their fist reel back and were just about to strike at each other again, but an announcement from All Might stop them.
"The Battle is over! The winner is the Hero team!" All Might announced which made both boys stop their punch.
(Music End)
"What?! What the fuck do you mean?" Katsuki demanded to know.
"It looks like my partner was able to get the weapon, after all." Izuku smirked which shocks Katsuki.
(Moments Ago)
Tsuyu continues jumping around from pillar to pillar while latching her tongue at Iida repeatedly trying to land on attack on the boy in white armor, but Tenya has proven himself be moving too fast for her to get as he tries to jump at her for some kicks though Tsuyu was able to dodge him at every last second.
"Damn you, stupid hero! You can't run from me forever!" Tenya shouted.
"We'll see about that!" Tsuyu said before she jumps again.
Tenya made an attempt to strike at the frog girl before she lands on another pillar, he rep up his Engine legs and jumps high for a flying kick that barely hit Tsuyu forcing her off the pillar.
"I got you now!" Tenya comes in with a kick on the head knocking Tsuyu down face-first on the floor.
"HAHAHAHAHA! You're through now, hero! You could never run from me with such evil speed and once I tie you up, I will go after your partner and this battle will be over!" Tenya bragged villainy.
But Tsuyu wouldn't give up so easily and she move her head up and open her mouth open to launch her tongue at Tenya only for her opponent to dodge it with ease.
"A last attempt to strike me down. Valiant effort but wasted!" Tenya mocked.
"It's not wasted since you just let me win." Tsuyu smiled.
Tenya was confused of what she meant until he realizes that Tsuyu's tongue wasn't aiming for him and turns around, going pale upon seeing the tongue has touch the fake weapon that was behind him.
"NO! The weapon!" Tenya gasped.
"You were too focused to assume I'd try to capture you. That's why we win." Tsuyu stated.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
The battle between Izuku and Katsuki was more intense than in the anime with both being roughly at equal level, and Tsuyu was the one who got the win for the hero team by her own tongue. Bet the taste of victory was good to Tsuyu.
