Chapter 4: The Squad VS Class 1-A
The next day is just a normal school curriculum, which is unsurprising giving that this is a high school despite training young heroes in training how to be full-fledged Pros. They normally start in the mornings, one of them is English with the Voice Hero known as Present Mic as their English teacher along with Bloodsport to help him, much to Mic's chagrin.
The English teacher, known as Present Mic, was a tall man with long blonde hair sticking straight up, wearing sunglasses and headphones along with a speaker-like object around his neck. His choice of clothing is almost all leather materials, with a jacket and jeans along with boots and fingerless gloves. He also has shoulder and elbow pads along with a brownish belt.
Present Mic looks at the four questions that were written on the large board in front of everyone and turn towards the students who most have a bored look on their faces. "Now, which of these four sentences contains a mistake?"
"So Boring..." Most of the students including Floyd, Harleen, Digger and David thought simultaneously while still bearing a boring look.
"Hey! Look alive everyone! Grammar rules!" Present Mic cheering them on trying to light up their spirits.
"They're not gonna be enthusiastic if you keep screaming our bloody ears like that." Bloodsport told the Voice Hero with a deadpan look behind his helmet, all while leaning against the wall with his arms and legs crossed. He then pointed his thumb towards one of the students. "Look at Cleo, she's already fast asleep by the moment your teaching starts."
They all look towards the direction where the Mercenary was pointing and see Cleo sleeping with her head and arms laying on her desk while snoring... very loudly. Most of the students let out a sweat drop while the Squad chuckled at her sleeping habits as Sebastion tried his best to wake her up.
Present Mic blinked for a second and turns towards Bloodsport. "And you didn't even bother to wake that little listener up and get her to focus?"
"It's best to let her sleep." Bloodsport said with a shrug earning a disapproval look from the Voice Hero.
"Flannegan! Wake up this instant! It is disrespectful to sleep in the classroom!" Iida shouted towards the sleeping rat girl while chopping his arms repeatedly.
"It's best you give up Strict Boy. She's not going to wake up any time soon." Floyd told the glasses-wearing teen who stopped and grumbled in his seat.
Present Mic sighed and tried to move on with his teachings. "Now, as I was saying, which of these sentences contains a mistake? Raise your hands if you know the answer." Several students raise their hands, with Izuku, Jason, Floyd, Waylon, Chato and Momo. Mic pointed to one student. "Yaoyorozu?"
"The fourth sentence." The ponytail girl answered. "The word 'that' is the only one that contains the error."
"Congratulations, little listener! Nicely done!" The English teacher complimented her cheerfully before going off to the next question.
"I have a feeling he only picked Yaoyorozu because almost all of us are raising our hands." Izuku thought while frowning at the Voice Hero along with the rest of the future Task Force. After he left the teacher's lunch and later the school, Jason told him what their Homeroom teacher told his friends and family, and dare he say he was so pissed off to no end. He knew it was only a matter of time before they will be mistreated by the Pro-Heroes because of what they went through, but he didn't expect Eraser Head to go so far as to call them villains and they don't deserve to be redeemed. So seeing Present Mic only chose the ponytail girl instead of them is no surprise, but he should've at least let them answer.
He only hopes that the normal classes will end soon so that he and his family won't have to deal with the Pro-Heroes bullshit any further.
"I... AM... HERE!"
The booming and heroic voice was heard at the opened door and the students turn towards who it is, only to be most excited when they saw the one person who brings peace and justice to the world. The Number One Hero and the Symbole of Peace, All Might
"Coming through the door like a-" He didn't get the finish his heroic sentence as he suddenly got pushed and almost tripped, causing everyone to either be shocked or laugh at his near fell to the floor.
"Can you please just walk through the door like an actual normal person, Muscle Head." They all turn and saw Peacemaker walk through the door with a bored and annoyed expression as he stared at All Might.
The No. 1 Hero regained his footing and stand up straight, all while laughing heroically. "Apologies, Peacemaker. I'll be sure to learn my mistake next time."
After that little squabble, all the Class 1-A are fanboying left and right saying that this is going to be the best year they have and even complimenting his hero costume. His suit is the Silver Age costume, with red and white colour and has a red cape. The Squad looked at the Symbol of Peace with mixed feelings, some are smiling at the Hero as they respect his drive of saving others who are in danger, but some are frowning a little because of what they heard from Izuku. They're not happy with what he said to the green-haired teen six years ago, but they do respect him enough since Izuku told them about their reunion.
Speaking of the green-haired teen, Izuku couldn't help but smile at his stepdad as he saw him marching dramatically towards the teacher desk with an annoyed Peacemaker following him. He's happy to see All Might doing alright after their first reunion and can't help but find it funny that he almost fell over to the floor by one of his teachers of Bell Rev. There's no doubt that he already told his mom about Izuku and he could only imagine what his mom would act.
Harleen, who's sitting in front of him, turns around and whispered giggly to him. "Wow, Izuky. Can't believe we get to see your stepdad so soon."
"I bet you glad he's here teaching us, Hermano," Chato tells him who's sitting behind him.
"Yeah, glad that he's here." Izuku nodded smiling at both his friends.
"What are you three talking about, ribbit?" They turned and saw a short girl with long dark green hair tied in a bow on the end and has very large hands. She looks at them curiously while placing her pointing finger on her chin.
"Oh, nothing. Just talking about All Might being our Heroic Teacher, nothing more." Izuku told her as Harleen giggled once more while Chato smiled. He doesn't want to reveal to them that All Might is his stepdad, only because will give them a lot of questions and ideas which will not be good for both him and All Might.
"Welcome to the most important class of U.A High. Think of it as heroing 101. Here, you will learn the basics of being a Pro, and what it means to fight in the name of good. Let's get into it! Today's lesson..." He pulls out the card dramatically and held it up for the students to see, bearing the word 'BATTLE' on the front of the card. "...We'll pull no punches!"
"Fight Training!" Bakugo said with a sickening grin, excited to show off his quirk to everyone else and beat them all up to teach them that he's the best, especially the worthless Deku and his merry bands of weaklings.
"Real combat, huh?" Izuku wondered with interest, this could be interesting to see how this plays out, especially showing everyone what he and the Squad are capable of.
"But what of the keys of being a hero is... looking good!" All Might points at the wall to their side and saw it moving forward showing the Class 1-A's cases with numbers on them, indicating who they belong to. This earns the cheer across the classroom, all except the Squad who noticed something different.
"Um, I got a question," David said while raising his hand up, earning a nod of approval from both All Might and Peacemaker. "Where's our cases? I can only see twenty of them and they only have numbers of the classrooms seats."
"Ah! A good question, young Kane." All Might nodded to him as he turn his direction at the violent Vigilante. "Perhaps my dear friend Peacemaker can answer that for you."
"We're not friends, Muscle Head." Peacemaker said to him coldly while turning his attention to his Squad students. "Your suits and costumes are stationed in your minibus for a time being until we can find a way to get them into this classroom. I already inform Rick and Debois about it so they'll be waiting for you there."
"Now with that out of the way." All Might said as he turns towards the rest of the class. "Get yourself suited up, and meet me at Training Ground Beta."
"Yes sir!"
(Principle's Office)
Principle Nezu was humming happily while drinking his coffee and doing paperwork that was placed before him. This year was surely an interesting one, mostly the new students that were handpicked by the Government Officials as well as former villains that are working for her.
He was very surprised that Bloodsport, Peacemaker and Dr T.O Morrow are working for Amanda Waller and the fact that she let them train those kids on how to fight without the use of Quirks and learn how to adapt to their surroundings. He does admit that it was concerning to let them train those children, but he does trust Waller and later on trust the former villains since he knows them long enough. Though he admits he finds it amusing that Bloodsport keeps his distance from him the best he can, given that he most likely be a rat, which he was afraid of.
He then turns his thought towards Task Force X, children that are chosen by Waller herself. He was sad about what these poor children have gone through and how the world was being unfair to them. And unlike the other Pro-Heroes with their short-sighted views of black and white, he never really considered them as villains. The pasts of the likes of Jones, Lawton, Santana, and Flannegan may be villainy, but he knows that it was all accident, self-defence and out of their hands. It's true what he said in the meeting that he will redeem them for the crimes they've committed, but it was for his colleagues to understand the importance of what the hero is all about. He just hopes they won't mistreat them just because of what they've done.
Nezu sighed at the thought and continued doing paperwork. As he was doing his thing, he heard a knock on the door getting his attention. "Enter."
The door opened and someone came through. It was none other than Amanda Waller who walked inside his office and smiled kindly at the Principle. "Good afternoon, Principle Nezu."
"Ah! Amanda Waller. Good afternoon." Nezu greeted the Official kindly as he turns his attention towards her. "So how were the children today? I assume things go as smoothly I reckoned?"
"The kids are doing fine, Principle," Waller answered him before frowning a little. "But I do hear from my assistants that the Pro-Heroes are taking some mistrust towards them."
Nezu sighed sadly while frowning at the information Waller gave him. "I feared something like this would happen, but at least it wasn't as bad as I thought it would. I do hope they will warm up to those poor children as time progresses."
"That I can agree with, Nezu." She nodded in agreement as she walks towards his desk and stops when she reached it. "I heard They now doing Basic Hero Training as we speak. I'm sure Task Force X will be thrilled to show off their skills and abilities."
"I completely agree, Waller," Nezu said as he opened up the draw in front of him, pulls out a tablet and placed it on his desk. "From what I know, Eraser Head was in charge of the settings of the course since he is their homeroom teacher and he will be placing it in ten V ten fight with Task Force X against Class 1-A. Though I am sorry to say that these poor children will be placed on the villain side while Class 1-A is on the side of the hero."
"Such short-sighted fools," Waller muttered in slight anger at what the Homeroom teacher had done and turned his attention to the Principle. "And you just going to let this continue while they treating my children as threats?"
"This is only the first day, Waller. I do admit I cannot stand the sight of it, but we must endure and hope they can warm up to them. Do not fret, if they continue on, I will sure have a word with them." Nezu promised the Official who only take his word for it, seeing that he's one of the reasonable people here in U.A High. Nezu grabs the tablet from his desk and was about to turn it on. "Now then, I shall watch and see how these children are capable of. I do have access to the cameras of where the Hero course takes place after all. Would you like to watch it with me?"
"That will be appreciated, Principle Nezu." Waller gracefully accepted his offer as Nezu turned on the tabled and see how Task Force X will fare better against the students of the Hero course.
(Ground Beta)
Inside the fake city where future Pro-Heroes can train, All Might and Peacemaker waited patiently while staring at the entrance/exit where the inside was oddly picked black. Sooner or later, the group of Class 1-A eventually comes out of the darkness, revealing their very own hero costumes. Some of their suits look very flashy and very stand out, while some look very fitting to their appearances.
All Might smiled as always complimenting their choices and style as well as telling them they are all Heroes-In Training, while Peacemaker nodded to them impressed at their suits and costumes. As they all got out of the tunnel, they stand in front of the teachers, waiting patiently for their instructions.
"Now, before we get started, we must first wait for our new additional students to join us in our ways of heroics." All Might said to the students. "I'm sure they'll be here in no time. All heroes cannot afford to be late when dangers are praying on the citizens."
"You don't have to worry about them being late, All Might." They turned and saw Rick Flag along with Bloodsport walking out of the dark tunnel and heading towards the group.
"Ahahaha! Colonel Rick Flag! It's good to see you and Bloodsport joining us on this Hero Training." All Might said enthusiastically as the Soldier and the Mercenary walked up to them. "I assume our new students suiting up as we speak?"
"They've just begun changing about a few minutes ago, they should be here shortly." Bloodsport replied to him while crossing his arms and turning towards the students, seeing the different types of costumes these students are wearing.
"Ahahaha! that's very good to hear, Bloodsport." All Might attempted to compliment the Mercenary as he placed his large hand on his shoulder in a friendly matter. "I never expected less from the cunning Mercenary like yourself."
"Do you want to be put in a fucking hospital again?" Bloodsport threatened him in a dark tone as he turned and glared at him under his dome helmet, then glare at Peacemaker who is snickering at him much to his annoyance.
All Might stiffed for a second, remembering his first encounter with the Merc and couldn't help but shiver mentally. He let go of his shoulder while still bearing his signature smile. "Ah-hah... let's not get hasty, shall we." He chuckled nervously, gaining nervous looks and sweatdrops from the students as they watch a small talk between All Might and Bloodsport. All Might look towards the tunnel and let out a wide smile. "Ah! I see they have finally arrived!"
(The Suicide Squad 2021 OST: So This Is The Famous Suicide Squad. Starts playing.)
Everyone turns towards the dark tunnel where All Might was looking and saw the Squad walk out of the darkness revealing themselves to Class 1-A and the teachers. They now saw them in their costumes and dare they say they left an impression on them. They saw one wearing a red bodysuit with a white mask along with a large red optic on the right side, ammo cases around his torso, pistol-like gauntlets and a sniper rifle in his back. One was wearing a black suit of armour with tubes connected to his body and his tank-like object on his back and wearing a large helmet with red glowing large optics.
The next one is wearing a dark green messy coat with a brown stitched up gas mask, brown fingerless gloves, a pistol holster, dark brown trousers and boots. And one was wearing a brown motor leather jacket with a belt dangling around the collar, Metal wrist platings along with gloves, a blue bodysuit with armour plating on his chest, Two pistols on both his upper legs along with ammo magazines around his waist, black army boots with a curved knife holder strapped around his right ankle, and a red helmet.
They already recognise the rest of the group since they didn't cover themselves completely. They saw Harleen in a mix of red and black clothing, wearing goggles, a jacket, fingerless gloves, armoured vest, jeans and boots, along with a red and black diamond card emblem placed on her clothes. She also wields a wooden bat strapped on her back. They saw Digger wearing a dark blue winter hat, matching coloured coat with some orange accent, fingerless gloves, trousers and black boots. He also has a couple of white boomerangs attached to his chest and his handmade one on his back.
Nanaue is wearing a white vest with navy colour military trousers and knee pads, shackles on both his wrist with chains dangling on them and a minigun on his back. He also has an odd-looking object attached to his head. Waylon was seen wearing a cargo zipped vest along with ripped trousers with a black belt, as well as white bandages covering his hand and lower arms except for his claws. And Chato was wearing what appears to be some form of a native look. He wears a helmet with tusks on the front end and feathers on the back, a golden neckless with shoulder pads, a wrist plate on his left wrist, armoured shorts with tattered clothing, and ankle plates on both his ankles.
Then finally, in the middle between Harleen and the one with the red helmet, was none other than Izuku Midoriya wearing his costume in all of its glory. He wears a black armoured suit with a dark green accent on them. His chest plates his dark green lines going down from the side of the top to the centre on the bottom. He wears a thick vest on his bottom torso with the dark green military-like pattern, along with army trousers with the same coloured pattern. Two shoulder pads with a green accent across, gauntlets with two wrist blades on both sides, and a black ankle plating with a green outline and strapped up boots. He wears a black hood around the top of his head that bears a single green outline going straight down, wears a black and green mouthguard with small holes on them and visor-like goggles attached to it. On his back are two swords hoisted in an X position, on the back of his waist is a small pole, around his waist are a few ammo cases along with flash grenades, and two hoisted sidearms on both his upper legs. His right side has a grappling gun, while the left side has a pistol.
Almost everyone couldn't help but be amazed and impressed by the costumes they are wearing. Some are thinking that they look badass, some thinks they look a little intimidated by how they look, and few think it doesn't matter at all, especially Bakugo who doesn't think they're anything special. Rick, Robert and Christopher let out a proud smile as they watch their students walking towards them in their own suits.
All Might smiled wider as he saw Task Force X walking out of the dark tunnel in style. "Glad to see you finally show up. And you all look so cool! Seeing all of you walking out in style got me so wrapped up!" He then thumbs up to all of them. "I congratulate you, you bunch of newbies!"
(The Suicide Squad 2021 OST: So This Is The Famous Suicide Squad. Stops playing.)
"We appreciate the compliment, All Might." The red helmet wearing boy spoke out with a light chuckle getting a certain student to recognise his voice.
"Todd? Is that you?" Inasa called out to him after hearing his voice. Inasa was wearing a brown baggy-like bodysuit with fur around the collar, grey tubes on some points on his body and yellow buttons. He has white thick shoulder and knee pads that have holes in them and wears an enormous glove on his left hand with metal tubes and holes on the knuckles.
"Indeed that's me, Inasa," Jason replied as he saw Inasa walk up to him so he got a better look. Jason look at what he was wearing and couldn't help but nod to him. "I have to say, I like your costume. It really suits you. By the looks of it, I assume it involves your Quirk"
"That's right, and thank you for your compliment, Todd. The same is said to your costume!" Inasa appreciated and compliment him back with his enthusiastic smile, earning an amusement chuckle from Jason.
"Please, just call me Jason." He tells him wanted the enthusiastic boy to call him his first name than his last name. Calling him 'Todd' makes him feel old for some odd reason.
"Wow, Nanaue! You look so manly!" Kirishima said as he walk up to the humanoid shark, who waved at him with a friendly laugh. Kirishima was wearing a gear-like costume, with red gears on his shoulders and wears nothing but his baggy trousers, bearing with the letter 'R' on the front. He looked behind Nanaue and couldn't help but be surprised. "Whoa! Is that a minigun on your back?"
"That's right! The classic minigun, armed with very thick layers of rubber bullets." Nanaue answered the red spiky-haired teen as he brings out his machine gun and show it to him. "I may prefer close combat, but there's nothing wrong with using long-range that can pack a lot of punches."
Kirishima let out manly tears when Nanaue said those words. He closed his eyes and brought his fist up. "So manly."
As almost everyone in Class 1-A complimented the group of future Task Force about their costume, Mina Ashido looked at the boy in a black and green suit of armour knowing full well who he is. Mina was wearing a white mask, a sleeveless waistcoat with white fur, maroon and bright brown boots, and a purple and aqua skin-tight bodysuit. She looks towards Ochaco and let out a mischievous smile. She calls out to her. "Hey, Uraraka. Is that Midoriya over there?"
Ochaco was busy fixing her visor-like mask and stopped when she heard Ashido call to her and mentioned Izuku. She looks at her and saw her pointing at the boy in a black and green suit of military-like armour, who is talking to Mineta wearing a purple suit with a yellow cape. Ochaco blinked for a second and smiled, knowing who the boy is and walked up to him. "Hey Deku."
Izuku stopped talking when he heard a familiar voice. "Uraraka?" He turns towards the direction of the voice and by the moment he saw her, his heart skipped and blushed slightly under his mask as he saw her hero costume before him.
"I love your costume. So army-like and not too flashy." She complimented him as Izuku continue looking at her, almost in trance by what she was wearing. She wears a very skin-tight bodysuit in a total of three colours, light peach, black, and pink accent. Two black dots came down in the middle of her chest, as well as the same colour on her sides, lower arms and elbow, and legs. Light peach on the middle of her body, along with her shoulder, and the same colour armoured wrist plates, belt and armoured boots with pink accents. She also wears a transparent visor-like mask covering her face with light peach coloured with pink accent.
Ochaco smiled nervously as she began rubbing the back of her head while closing her eyes. "I should've been a little more specific of what I wanted. This bodysuit is skin tight. Not really my style."
Her statement and nervous chuckle seem to break out of Izuku's near trance-like state and couldn't help but glance away while rubbing his head. "Hehe. Well, you look amazing, regardless."
"Re-Really?" Ochaco blushed when he said those words as he nodded to her, confirming of what he said is true. The bubbly girl blushed deeply as she placed her hands together behind her back and looks down with a shy, yet embarrassed smile. "Um... Tha-thank you, um, Deku."
As they continue blushing, Mina and Harleen are looking at the two and smiled teasingly, knowing that their plan is finally coming together. Harleen raised her hand out to her awaiting a high five. "They seem to be getting closer, don't you think?"
"Oh, certainly." Mina giggled and high five her. "Even if they don't know it yet, I know that with our little support, they'll be together in no time."
Both girls giggle quietly as they watch them get a hold of themselves from their embarrassment, but they didn't notice the small midget looks at Ochaco and help a thumbs up. "I love this school."
Izuku broke out of his blush almost instantly and stared at Mineta with a cold and even stare. "I'm sorry Mineta, did you say something?"
Mineta jolted and paled when he saw Izuku staring at him with a cold tone and shook his hands and head towards him. "N-nothing!"
As everyone was talking among themselves, All Might watched his students talking to the Squad, then later turns towards his stepson wearing his costume. Seeing his costume brings a shiver down his spine. Why? Because his suit is almost identical to Izuku's mentor and his rival, Deathstroke. Only the army-like patterns that separated from the original. He still bears a primary colour, but their secondary colour is different, with Izuku being dark green while Deathstroke was orange. He also saw swords and firearms in him as well, no doubt the Number One Assassin trained the boy on how to use them. Seeing the two being almost alike but different was nearly frightening, and couldn't help but shiver.
"It seems you're taking after your mentor, young Izuku." All Might thought as he coughed his hands before getting their attention. "All right. Let's huddle up everyone, and prepare for your very first combat training."
All the students stopped talking and already regroup in front of the Symbol of Peace. Before All Might could say anything, one person raised his hand up. It is a boy in white modernized knight with engine pipes added to it. "Sir, Apologies for speaking before you, but I have one question. Will we be dealing with training robots just like in the entrance exam?"
"Not quite. I'm going the move you two steps ahead." All Might answered the engine wearing knight, judging by the voice it was Iida wearing the suit. He continued by explaining. "Now, normally I would be teaching all of you how to fight evil-doers not just outside, but indoors. But instead, I was told by your Homeroom teacher, Eraser Head, that I shall be doing a ten versus ten battle. With Class 1-A, against Task Force X."
"I'm sorry, what?" Izuku asked as the rest of the Squad were taken back by this information, same with the teaching assistants as they raise their eyebrows at him. Class 1-A students are on the same page as them, as they are too surprised by what he's saying.
"Isn't this a little too advanced?" The same girl with dark green hair questions the No. 1 Hero while tilting her head. She wears a green skin-tight bodysuit taking the appearance of the frog with hat-like goggles.
"The best training is what you get on the battlefield!" All Might answered her in a heroic, yet cheerful manner. "But remember, your not punching robots this time, your dealing with actual people. And like any other battle, it will be the teams of good guys and bad guys, with Class 1-A as heroes, while Task Force X as villains."
"Are you fucking serious right now!?" The whole future Task Force X thought in unison as they look extremely furious at what the Pro-Heroes had done, especially that bastard Eraser Head. It's already bad enough they're been secretly mistreated by the Pro-Heroes only because of what they are, now they purposely set this up because they see them as one. This was enough to put the likes of Nanaue to growl anonymously along with Waylon and Harleen was more than tempting to go on the killing spree. The teacher assistants sighed in both annoyance and anger. If they have a chance to beat those incompetent heroes and give them a reality check they would've, but they are only just assistants, and all they can do is tell their students to ignore them the best they can.
"Sir, will you be the one who decides who wins?" Yaoyorozu asks him a question. She's wearing a very revealing red outfit, with a yellow wooden-like skirt around her waist.
"How much can we hurt those extras?" Bakugo asks next, wanting to know how much can he hurt those pathetic weaklings, like Deku. He's wearing an intimidating costume with dark orange 'X' on the front of his black vest, green grenade-like gauntlet, and baggy trousers with jagged knee pads. He also wears a mask covering his upper face and was black spikes with an orange accent.
"Do we really have to worry about getting expelled just like two days ago?" Ochaco asks him worryingly.
"Will you be picking us on based by chance or compare of skills?" Iida questioned with his hand out once again.
"Can we switch sides? Just to piss those Pro-Heroes off?" Waylon joined in, it might never happen, but it is worth trying.
"I wasn't finished talking." All Might gritted in near frustration, getting an amused smile from the Colonel and a snicker from the Vigilante. All Might cough again before continued speaking. "Right, the rules of the training is really simple. Whoever captures the whole team wins. And to answer one of your questions, you will be picked at random to have a chance to fight against our new additional students." He then brought out a box and held it in front of them. "Time's limited! And I will choose you all randomly by taking lots!"
"Isn't there a better way?" Iida asked once again, giving out his concerns of pairing in the team at random.
"If you think about it more, Iida, other heroes tend to team up together in terms of agreeing to a certain mission or a chance of fate," Rick told him. "It's important to know you will eventually fight alongside heroes who you don't really know yet."
"I see. I understand completely." Iida begins to understand and bow towards the adults. "Excuse my rudeness."
"None sweat, let's draw!" All Might declared as he puts his hands in the box and got one out. "Now, the first young hero will be... Momo Yaoyorozu!"
Yaoyorozu seems to blink for a moment before bowing her head respectively. "I'll be sure to do my best."
"Next we have... Tenya Iida!"
"Seems like I'm joining this heroic team," Iida said as he turns towards the Squad members. "Just so you know, I'll be doing my very best. I hope all of you will do the same."
"Sure, whatever you say, Strict Boy," Floyd responded to his declaration with a filtered deep voice due to wearing his mask.
"Next is... Tsuyu Asui!"
"Ribbit" The dark green-haired girl known as Asui croak at the mention of her name. This caught the attention of Waylon as he looks at her with a thoughtful look and hummed.
"Denki Kaminari!"
"Alright! I'm excited!" Kaminari said excitedly. He wears a black jacket with white lightning themed, a white T-shirt, black trousers with white lines, and has a white object on the right side of his ear.
"Ejirou Kirishima!"
Yes! I'm all fired up!" Kirishima shouted in excitement as he brings his fists together, cannot wait to test his might against the new students.
"Kyoka Jiro!"
"Time to rock." A girl with short purple hair with organic-like plugs dangling in her ear spoke with a smirk on her face. She wears a black leather jacket with a peach T-shirt, white fingerless gloves, black jeans and black boots.
"Rikido Sato!"
Sato smiled at the mention of his name as he flexed the muscles of his right arm. He wears a simple yellow bodysuit with white gloves and boots, along with a belt around his waist.
"Mina Ashido!"
"Oh yeah! time to show what I can do!" Mina cheered while jumping up and down in excitement. She then turns towards the Squad. "Don't feel bad if I beat one of you in a fight."
Harleen giggled at her declaration as she replied. "I should say the same to you, Mina."
"Minoru Mineta!"
Mineta chuckled in a perverted tone as he was excited about getting in a team of beautiful and smoke hot babes. He was so busy thinking about it, he didn't realise he was getting suspicious looks from not just the students of class 1-A, but also the members of Task Force X.
"And last and not least..." All Might took out the last paper and look at the name before him, his face shifted slightly for a second but quickly shook it off and calls out the name. "Katsuki Bakugo!"
The last name that was heard from All Might's mouth brought the attention to both Izuku and Bakugo. Izuku wasn't expected to go against Bakugo so soon, since he knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Bakugo, however, was more than thrilled to be in a team full of extras. Not just to go against the group of lame-ass team, but able to fight and murder the worthless pathetic Deku.
"Now that the teams are finally been established, the rest will follow my fellow teaching assistants to the monitor room to watch." All Might said before turning towards two teams. "Those who picked will stay here so you can plan ahead for your team. Task Force X, I will be taking all of you to a place where you will be stationed. Now let's hustle everyone!"
"Good luck, Deku," Ochaco tells him with a bubbly smile as she waves him good luck before joining the others that didn't get picked. Izuku only waves back while smiling under his mask and couldn't help but sigh. If he had to be honest, he's a little disappointed that Ochaco is not picked to join the opposing team. But on the other hand, he's can't help but relieved she didn't so he doesn't have to get worried about her getting hurt by one of his friends/family.
He then felt he was being watched as he turns to see who was watching him, and as he suspected, he saw Bakugo glaring at him with a hateful look. Izuku didn't flinch back at his murderous stare as he glares back at him under his mask.
"Hey, Izuku! What are you doing? Let's go!" The voice of Digger calls out to him as Izuku glanced at him who's waving at him to come over.
Izuku glanced back at Bakugo who never seems to take his eyes off of him. Smirking under his mask, he raises his clenched fist out and purposely flipped his middle finger at him. This seems to take back Bakugo by his bold declaration and then snarled murderously at Izuku. The green-haired boy huffed while smirking and then walks off to join his group.
Bakugo watched him walking far away with his weak-ass team following All Might and couldn't help but growl in hatred. How dare that forgotten piece of trash looked down at him and act like he's better than him. That damn nerd doesn't deserve to be in the same school as him... better yet... he doesn't deserve to LIVE in the same world as every other extra with Quirks, including those other weaklings that are Quirkless like him. Quirkless are nothing more than inferior breeds of parasites, and if those other losers are with those weaklings, then they'll be seen as inferior too, and they will soon die along with them.
"Hey, Bakugo! Aren't you gonna come join us? We could really use you right now?" Kirishima calls to him.
Bakugo didn't listen and instead gritted his teeth and snarled. "I thought that weakling finally disappeared when I was told what happened to him. I thought he took my advice and jump off the roof of the building." His gnarling face changes and shifts into a sickening, evil smile. "I'm gonna murder that parasite... for GOOD this time!"
A few minutes after establishing the rules of the battle, Task Force X is following All Might to where they will be set up and plan for the fight ahead. They're still pissed off about being set up as villains of the course because their Homeroom teachers set the settings. All they can do now is to get this over with and just focus on showing Class 1-A what they can do.
They eventually made it to the other side of the fake city and stopped as All Might got their attention. "Now then, all of you will stay here and get ready when the battle starts, and before I forget, take these." He brings out ten earpieces and white small tapes and handed them over to Izuku. "These capture tapes are the key to your victory, and those communication devices will help you on your journey. I will also be talking to you with them in case any of you are in need of help."
"Thank you All Might. We'll be sure to use them well." Izuku thanked him as All Might smiled wider towards his stepson, before watching him walking off to hand them over to Chato first, then Digger soon after.
"At least someone wasn't treating us like crap, unlike those dickhead from earlier," Floyd muttered out as he looked over his wrist-magnums, making sure they were fully operational before Izuku handed him both earpiece and tape.
All Might's face turns into a frown slightly as he watches his stepson handing the earpieces over to his friends/family. He felt so sorry to those young kids by not what they went through, but also how they were treated by his fellow teachers when he overheard Bloodsport talking to the Colonel when he was preparing for this lesson. They don't deserve this kind of treatment because they're not villains, they're just a group of tortured souls who're gone through so much and needed support, and he will do his best to save their souls from their dark pasts that are clinging to them.
"Everyone." All Might call to them getting their attention as they saw him giving him a sympathetic look. "I heard what happened to all of you and I know how my fellow colleagues have treated you in secret, but just so you know I won't be treating you as such because I know your not evil-doers." This seems to shock them as the Symbole of Peace gives them his signature smile and gave them a thumbs up. "No matter what your passes are, keep pushing forward and always remember, I'll be rooting for all of you to become the best you can be!"
All the group were staring at him, still shocked and surprised by what he just said. They never thought that the Symbol of Peace would give them a positive speech and encouragement instead of negative treatment from other Pro-Heroes. Izuku smiled at his stepdad behind his mask, happy to know he's not like any other heroes and treated them as just people and not see them as threats.
"Now, before I head off to another team, there's something I need to tell you." All Might said gaining the group attention. "The key of being successful in this class is to embody villainy, think of a perspective of an evil-doer. I know all of you don't like the idea of it, but just think of it as fun and show those heroes that you are the force to be reckoned with."
"Well, I guess we can work with that," Digger said while chuckling at the thought of playing the villains just for fun. They may don't like the idea of being in the villain team only because the Pro Heroes see them as one, but at least they can play along just to give them a middle finger when they won the match, probably.
"Now, if you excuse me, I must return to where we first started. You all will have ten minutes to plan, make every second count." All Might advise them before turning around and performing a running position. "Now watch as I run in the name of justice!"
In a matter of seconds, All Might sprinted off leaving a dust of wind in his wake blowing past the group who's staring at him with wide eyes. They looked on in a few seconds until All Might was out of their sight.
"Well... He sure is something." David commented, his helmet was currently off after Izuku gave him an earpiece for him to put in his ear.
"Yeah." Waylon nodded in agreement. "If I have to be honest with all of you, I expected him to treat us like villains, glad he's not one of those simple-minded heroes."
"Yeah, glad he's not like them," Izuku said smiling with his hood down and his mask off due to him having to place his earpiece on. He then turns his attention towards his family. "Alright, everyone. We only got ten minutes before the battle starts. We gonna need a debrief if we gonna win."
"I agree. Let's form up so we can come up with a plan." Jason said as the Squad formed up as they're about to listen to the green-haired teen.
"Okay. Since we're going up against ten of our classmates, we'll need to come up with something that will hold in our favour." Izuku explained to the whole group. "However, we don't know much about our opponents and what their Quirks are, so we need to be extra careful of who we fight. Our best bet is to split them up and take them out one at a time if they aren't planning to split up as we speak."
"So we'll be separated around the city, that good to know," Chato said before placing his fingers on one of his ears in his wooden helmet. "It's a good thing we have these earpieces so we can talk while we fight. That way if any of us are in trouble, we'll just simply call for help."
"Let's not forget that this is a big city. It will take some time until we'll find where they are," Jason told them about the situation. "If I have to guess, if they're really wanted to find us, they'll be sending someone to scout around the city."
"That's right. And if I have to guess, they will be sending Iida to recon to find out where we are." Izuku nodded to Jason. "Judging by his costume and the engine pipes he has, I have a feeling his Quirk is based on speed."
"If he has a speed Quirk, then you should leave him to me," Digger said as he grabbed one of his handmade boomerangs and tosses it up in the air with a smug look. "That bloke is not the only one who can go super speed."
"I'm coming with you. I'll slow him down so you can get him close." Floyd tells the Aussie who only smirked before turning towards the rest. "After that, I will be your eyes and support."
"That will be very appreciated, Floyd." Izuku nodded to him with a smile. He's can tell that's not the only reason why he's going with Digger, but he's not gonna judge. "Now, do any of you know any more about our opposing team?"
"I notice that girl named Tsuyu Asui wearing a costume that looks like a frog," Waylon spoke out giving out his thoughts while letting out a grin. "I'll lure her towards the riverside which I saw during our walk."
"If you need help, then I got just a thing," Nanaue said as he brings out his minigun while letting out a toothy grin with a chuckle. Waylon chuckled too, happy his fellow animal brother-in-arms accompany him.
Cleo raised her hand out as Sebastion squeaks at them, getting Their attention. "Um, I know this has nothing to do with anything, but I do sense some rats roaming around beneath us."
"If you think they can help you, then do what you think is best, Cleo." Izuku nodded to her before coming to a decision. "Alright everyone, you know the drill. Find a way to split them up and help each other out the best you can. But whatever you do, leave Bakugo to me."
"Bakugo? Do you mean that trigger happy, explosion pomeranian?" Harleen asked him as he nodded to her.
"That right, he's the bloke you always talked about during Bell Rev, and almost attack you yesterday," Digger remembered as he turned towards Izuku. "That tosser has a serious hate-boner for you mate."
"He's an ego-driven narcissist, who can't let anyone else be better than him," Izuku told him as he looked over the road where the other team is stationed. "Though looking back six years and now, He seems to be way worse than I thought, and I have a pretty good idea why."
"Is it because he was being treated like a god, or is it because he was promised to have All Might's power," Floyd asked, giving out two guesses for the reason why Bakugo was the way he is. He and the other knows about the truth of All Might's power because Izuku trusted them enough to explain it to them.
"Both," Izuku answered with a shrug as he keep staring over the road. "And if I know him any better, he'll be coming straight after me first. He wasn't the type of following orders and he'll go out his way to achieve his victory by any means necessary." He narrowed his eyes before placing his mask back on. "I need to face him alone."
"Hermano, you can't be serious," Chato questioned him out of concern and worry. "If that guy is as dangerous as you say he is, if not far worse, then will it be wise if you need some help from one of us? We are family after all."
"I understand your worries, Chato, but I must do this," Izuku tells him, getting the attention of his worried friends. "I need to prove to him that I am not the worthless Deku he sees me six years ago when we were kids. I know it's dangerous going off alone, but it's the only way to do it."
"You know that suicide, right?" David warned him of the situation he is getting himself into, but he knows Izuku well enough that he's not going to back down now.
"Well that is kinda our thing, isn't it?" Izuku smiled towards his family which give their own smile in return, even Waylon and Digger gave out a light-hearted chuckle while Harleen giggled.
"So... do you have any plans to take him down?" Jason asked him, wanted to know if he does have one.
Izuku smirked at his question and responded. "I do. Which reminds me. Harleen." He turns around and faces the energetic girl who looked at him with her head tilted. "What kind of explosives do you have?"
(The Monitor Room.)
"So I have been wondering..." The feminine voice was heard from the girl who is clearly invisible with nothing but light blue gloves and boots. She's looking at the big screen before them. "Who do you think is going to win?"
"Well, it is difficult to say, Hagakure." Ojiro was the one who responded as he grabbed his chin in thought while looking at the screen. He's wearing a karate uniform with yellow fur around the left side of the collar. "I would say our classmates, but there's little much known about Task Force X so we shouldn't underestimate them."
"Yeah. I mean, look at Lawton for example." The black-haired boy said while thinking about the young Sharpshooter. He wears a black and white costume with an orange helmet with a black visor, orange shoulder pads, and his arms expose revealing his oddly shaped elbows. "He may be Quirkless, but he shot those crosshair targets without breaking a sweat. He shoots only in the middle and nothing around it."
"Don't forget about Jones and Nanaue. They've been able to bench a lot of weights despite going past their limits." The white-haired boy wearing a mask added. He wears a light blue costume with dark blue covering the top matching his mask colour.
"And Santana using his fire Quirk." The double-coloured haired teen added too, staring at the screen hoping to see the skull-faced boy using more of his fire Quirk. He wears a simple white bodysuit with his left side covered in ice, including the left side of his face.
"I vote Task Force X!" Inasa shouted gaining everyone's attention as he bears an overdramatic smile. "Todd seems to be a leader type so I know they're gonna win!"
"But you only knew him since yesterday." The black-haired boy gave him a raised eyebrow when he said that, but Inasa ignored him and continued to wait patiently.
"I believe in Deku." Some turned and look at Ochaco who looked hopeful as she smiled. "He beat that robot from the training exercise yesterday, so I believe in him." Her face soon turns to concern. "But I'm a little worried if he's going to get hurt during combat training."
"You don't have to worry about Izuku getting hurt, Uraraka." She turns and looks at Rick who's giving her a kind and assuring smile. "He and the others have been trained by the best people we know, including Bloodsport and Peacemaker."
"By us, you mean mostly me because I doubt Dubois hasn't done much except training Floyd." Peacemaker said as he turns to his rival with a smug look.
Bloodsport turns to him with a glare, despite wearing a helmet. "What the fuck are you talking about? I may train Floyd only because he's my personal student, but I do teach other kids as well."
"Really? If that's the case, then how come I never heard any of them in Bell Rev?" Peacemaker questioned mockingly as the Merc clench his fist in anger.
Rick sighed as two former villains started arguing with each other and turns around while Ochaco looked at them with a nervous chuckle along with a sweatdrop. "There they go again. It's a wonder why they have the same backstory."
"Same backstory?" Ochaco repeated his words as she turns to him and tilted her head in confusion. Soon the few others listen closely, wanting to know the story behind it.
Rick sighed again before he starts explaining. "Debois's father was a mercenary while Smith's father was a soldier. They both trained their sons how to be killers by the moment they are born."
"Both sons forced to follow the abyss." Tokoyami quoted in an edgy voice while watching their teaching assistants. His whole body was covered in a black cloak.
"I don't know if you're having a laugh, Flag." Bloodsport pointed his finger at him accusingly, as well as ignored the bird-headed kid's edgy comment. "But the way you're saying it sounds like he does exactly like I do."
"But better." Peacemaker said smugly causing the Merc to turn to him.
"There's no fucking way you're better. I hit dead centre." Bloodsport tells him.
"I hit them more in the centre." The Vigilante countered.
"You can't hit more in the centre." Robert refused to believe the words from his rival.
"I use smaller bullets."
"What?"
"They go inside your bullet holes without even touching the sides." Peacemaker said with the smug. "That's what I said to Floyd. I doubt you taught him that."
Bloodsport growls at him as Peacemaker laughed at his anger. On the sidelines, the Colonel gave them a deadpan look while half of Class 1-A gave them questionable, yet concerning looks.
Ojiro turns to Rick while pointing at them with a light, nervous chuckle. "Ur, are they always like this?"
Rick looks down and couldn't help but sigh. "Yeah..." He looks back up to them and saw a snickered Vigilante trying to put his hand on his shoulder, but Bloodsport childishly smacks them away. "Those idiots always like this. They've been arguing with each other nonstop ever since those two met. It's a wonder why they haven't killed each other yet."
"It's a wonder indeed." Half of Class 1-A thought as they continued to watch them fighting among themselves.
"AHAHAHA!" A booming laugh was head behind them as they turned and saw the Symbol of Peace. "I am here, to start the battle!"
The Merc and the Vigilante stopped what they were doing and turned to see All Might walking into the room. He stops in front of the large screen and turns it on, revealing many file-like screens showing them parts of the fake city.
"Now, look closely, think about what you would do, and watch as the battle between heroes and villains commence!" All Might declared cheerfully as students cheered with him. All Might grab the microphone in front of him and hold it to his smiling mouth. "Alright! Let's begin the combat training! Class 1-A and Task Force X, your time starts now!"
All Might lower the microphone and grabs the earpiece and placed it in his left ear, then later grabs the board. "Young Izuku. Just because you are my stepson, doesn't I will treat you differently. I will grade you like everyone else, without playing favourites."
(Ground Beta)
In the middle of the fake city, Iida was running across the main road using his Engine Quirk on the back of his ankles to speed across the training ground. The strict student of Class 1-A was looking left and right in hopes to see one of the members of Task Force X and report back to his teammates as soon as possible.
"Iida. I need you to scout out the area of the city and tell us the location where our opponents are. There's a high chance they will be splitting up so they have a chance to pick us off one to one." He remembered the words of one of his fellow classmates, Momo Yaoyorozu, and agreed with her plan. If there is indeed a chance that they split up, then it is his job to swiftly recon the whole area and report back to her if he sees anything out of the ordinary.
He then remembered just as the training started, Katsuki Bakugo just blasted off with his explosion Quirk and headed off elsewhere. During the discussion in the team, Bakugo wasn't involved in the team the whole time and kept his distance away from everyone. He once tried to convince him to join in so they have a fair chance against the opposing team, but Bakugo arrogantly replied.
"I'm not coming over to talk to you extra with your shitty plan! All I want is to find Deku." Those are the words from the blonde explosion teen as he said that with his already angered, yet hateful expression.
"Why is Bakugo always angry when it comes to Midoriya? Ever since he and Task Force X arrived he was more aggressive and hateful than he was when we first met." Iida thought in wonder. When he and Bakugo first met, he was sending death threats towards him when he was not sitting in his chair properly and bragging about how great he is in the Quirk apprehension test. Now he's becoming much worse when Task Force X arrived the day after, taking all of his anger out towards Midoriya after he defeated that robot yesterday. Why was he acting like this? Is there a history between them that he and his classmates don't know about? He did call him Deku which is a Japanese insult calling someone useless. Does Bakugo really think Quirkless are useless? It does explain why he insults Lawton and Midoriya based on what they are. Iida is never the one with a judging type as he always treats everyone with respect, including Quirkless.
He felt like he was getting sidetracked in thought as he shook his head and focus on what's important. "I will deal with the situation with Bakugo later. Right now, I must focus on the task at hand. I must find the villain team and report back at once!"
Iida continued running down the main road, passing under the small bridge between two buildings. The far distance on one of the tall buildings, Floyd Lawon was kneeling down while aiming at the modern-armoured knight. He looked through his scope, revealing the red vision and pointing its crosshair carefully at Iida's legs. He took time to watch the pattern of his legs and smirked under his mask.
"Gotcha." He muttered before pulling the trigger, firing a rubber bullet with a single bang from the sniper's nozzle.
The rubber bullet trailed down towards the speeding knight and then without his notice, the bullet hit his left leg before he has a chance to place it on the concrete floor. Iida yelp in surprise and was flipped to his side, then crashed to the floor while rolling skiddingly until he came to the stop. He finds himself laying on his back as he groaned in pain but slowly recovering as he sits up and looks at his left leg. Luckily no damage has done has been done as he stands up straight and looks around in search of the culprit.
"There's only one person from the villain team who is capable of taking a shot, but this level of precision is off the charts." Iida thought as he looked at the rooftops of where the shot talk place. "Lawton. Your marksmanship skills are more remarkable than I thought."
[Iida? Iida, come in.] The voice of Yaoyorozu spoke up in his ear as she's calling him through his earpiece. [I just got a call from Jiro. She tell me she heard a gunshot. Are you alright?]
"I'm fine, Yaoyorozu. I just got a surprising shot from Lawton. It appears he's trying to slow me down so I won't find his teammates." Iida tells her as he continues looking around, but so far Lawton hasn't made his move yet. "I shall return at once and regroup with-"
He didn't get to finish what he was saying as he saw something from the corner of his eye. He turns around and saw a spinning homemade boomerang fly around him in a trail of blue vapour.
Iida's eyes widened by the Boomerang, knowing full well who that belongs to, and turns around only to be hit by a human-size blur covered in blue trail and electricity. He has flown into the floor once again and skidded to his back, groaning in pain when he felt like he was hit by a brick flying towards him.
Iida slowly gets up from the unexpected attack and turns to someone who's walking towards him. It was none other than Digger Harkness, playfully flipping his boomerang while holding his fingers to his right ear.
"Nice aim, mate." Digger complimented the person who's responsible for stopping the strict student
[Just get the job done] Floyd tells him as Digger let go of his ear turns smugly at Iida.
"Now mate, why don't you pick on someone with your own speed." Digger challenged the modern knight as he held his weapon firm and looked at him with a smirk, yet taunting stare.
Iida stands up and eventually recovered from the surprised attack from the foe before him and looks at him. "You may have taken me by surprise villain, but just so you know..." He said in a serious tone of voice before clenching his fist tight and holding it towards his opponent. "I won't let an evil-doer like you cause destruction wherever you go! In the name of justice, I will take you into custody!"
"So serious." Digger sweatdrop from his overdramatic declaration, but couldn't help but smirk as he took out another boomerang from his chest and got into a fighting position. Feeling like playing along, he countered. "Well let's see what you got, hero."
"Jiro, head to the safest position in the city and tell us if you hear anything," Yaoyorozu instructed one of her teammates as she talks to her through her earpiece.
[On it.] Jiro acknowledges before going silent as the ponytail girl removes her fingers away and walk through the dark ally, along with Mineta who's walking up behind her.
"Um, are you sure it's a good idea to go through the allies?" The small boy asks nervously as he looks around as if something is about to come out any second.
"It's the only safe option we have, Mineta," Yaoyorozu told him as she continues walking. "Lawton is the eyes of the villain team. If he's able to shoot Iida while at high speed, then our only best chance is to go through tight spaces to avoid his long-range perimeter until we know the exact point of his whereabouts."
Mineta was unsure at the moment until he caught his attention towards Yaoyorozu's rear. His worries were quickly vanished and were replaced with dirty thoughts, smiling pervertedly as a drool started to go down his chin. He walked faster to get a closer look at her rear, hoping to see something underneath that wooden skirt of hers...
Until he was suddenly got snatched by someone who covered his mouth with his gloved hands and dragged him away from the girl. He tried to scream for help, but the gloved hand only muffled it until he was finally silenced by something metal wracking him on the head, completely blacked out from the impact.
Yaoyorozu was busy walking through the alleyway until she felt something that was bothering her. She stops walking before closing her eyes and sighed, turning around with a disappointed look. "You're awfully quiet, Mine-"
She stops when she saw no sign of Mineta, almost like he just disappeared and went missing. She looked around in hopes to find the small pervert, but she could find him anywhere. "Mineta?"
"Minoru Mineta has been captured!"
The statement from the Symbol of Peace has got her gasp slightly and her eyes widened in shock. How did she lose Mineta only for him to be captured? Her body was tensed as she brought her left arm out, only for her to summon something out of her skin. The construct was formed and was revealed to be a shield from the oldest era. She looked around hoping to find the one responsible, only to look up and see something that shocked her.
What she saw above her was none other than unconscious Mineta, who is hanging upside down with a wire wrapped around his ankles, along with white tape wrapped his hands behind his back.
Yaoyorozu looked at the unconscious pervert before looking towards the narrowed alleyway where they came in. Her mind was filled with questions. Who's responsible for capturing Mineta? Was it Midoriya? Or could it be-
"Hello."
The ponytail girl jolted slightly and turned to the person who spoke behind her. Standing in front of her was the red helmet wearing teen, Jason Todd. He stands there in the middle of the alleyway giving off an intimidating look while chuckling humorously.
"Didn't your parents tell you not to go into dark allies?" Jason asked her almost intimidatingly as he watch the poor girl shaking slightly.
Yaoyorozu didn't respond to his question as she tries to keep her composure and ready her shield against the boy in front of her. She responded bravely. "I'm responsible enough to know all the possible dangers. As it's a hero's duty to not be afraid in any circumstances."
"We'll see about that," Jason said as he reach inside his jacket and within seconds, he throws small sharp shurikens towards the defensive girl, who was quick enough to block them with her shield.
Jason grabs the pistol from his right hostel and purposely shoots her shield while running towards her. Yaoyorozu blocks three shots until she saw him jump over, perform a side flip, and landed behind her. He turns around in an attempt to hit her with the end of his pistol, but she blocks it with her shield and blocks again by his kick, making her skid slightly back.
Had enough with her shield, Jason use his free hand to grab the edge of the shield and snatched it away quickly, making her stumble and defenceless. Jason saw this as an opportunity and kick her square in the stomach, making her falls over and landed on her back. Yaoyorozu groaned whiled holding her stomach before slowly standing up and regaining her feet. She turns to Jason who chucked the shield she created aside and stands before her without any signs of exhaustion. She realised she can't use defensive too much and decided to go on the offensive. She raised her hand to her other hand and summoned a metal staff from her left palm.
Yaoyorozu holds both hands on the weapon and points it at Jason in a challenging matter. The red helmet wearing teen wasn't fazed at this as he places his pistol back, brings his right leg up and took at the curved knife, giving it a twirl before facing the girl before him.
"You know the old saying 'never bring a knife to a gun fight'?" Jason asked her a phrasing question, but the ponytail girl didn't answer his question and stared at him intensively. Jason slowly brought his knife up while getting in a fighting position. "Well, the one thing I have learned is that any weapon you wield can be just as deadly as a gun. Especially the one as blunt as a staff."
"You're sure this is the right way, Asui?"
Somewhere around the near side of the fake city, Sato and Asui are running through the streets with the muscle teen following the frog-like girl, who's hopping in all fours as any frog could.
"This is the right way, Sato, And please call me Tsuyu." Tsuyu told him as she's leading through the streets. "Jiro said she heard two people heading towards the left side of the training ground. We need to find them and capture them if we want to win. Ribbit."
"So that's why you want me to come along," Sato realised as they just exited the street way and now arrived at the side of the city. They stopped as they looked around the area they just entered. They see a river in front of them with grassy hill cliffs on both sides and see a bridge at the far side of their right.
"This is some nice place," Sato whistled as he looked at the river before them and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "But why would they come all this way here?"
"I might know why. Ribbit." Tsuyu responded as he look towards the frog-girl, who narrowed her eyes in thought while looking at the river. "Based on what we know so far about Task Force X, I'm guessing Jones and Nanaue all came this way to the riverside since they have the appearances of water-based animals." She then turns to Sato. "And since they're here before us, they could be watching us as we know it."
"You sure got a lot of bloodhound in ya, for a frog."
The Cajun accent was heard from behind as they turned around and prepare themselves while looking at the entrance of the alleyway. They saw someone tall walking out of the shadows and was revealed to be Waylon Jones, holding his clawed hands behind his back while letting off a pleasing, yet grateful smirk.
"I should thank you for coming, Tsuyu Asui," Waylon said to Tsuyu who's tensed when he turned to face her. "You saved me a lot of trouble luring you down here right where I want you."
Tsuyu narrowed her eyes at him as she crouched down to prepare herself. She didn't think she was falling into his trap right from the start, and she had already given him less trouble in getting what he wanted. She can't help but feel like this is some twist of fate for having her and Waylon meeting face to face. She was about to say something to the humanoid crocodile until Sato spoke out in a challenging matter.
"If it's her you want so badly, then your gonna have to fight both of us." Sato declared while bringing his fist up, preparing to face him head-on with nothing but his bare fists.
Waylon chuckled humorously while eyeing the muscle boy before him. "As much as I would love to face you with nothing but our good ol' fist, Muscle Man." He brings his right arm out and pointed it up to the sky. "But as much as it pains me, I'll let my dear ol' brother handle you."
They look up in the direction where Waylon was pointing, and what they saw got them surprised and shocked. They saw Nanaue jump off the top of the building and perform a barrel roll towards the two heroes.
Tsuyu eyes widened at the incoming attack and shouted to Sato. "Move!"
Both Tsuyu and Sato jumped out of the way, dodging the surprised attack from the humanoid shark's barrel roll. But unfortunately, the impact sent shockwaves and small debris causing the two to be separated. Tsuyu gracefully landed in all fours while Sato rolled to the floor and recovered by stopping himself and skidded, sitting up from his knees while facing the shark-man.
Nanaue was in the middle of the small crater that he created as he faces Tsuyu first before facing Sato. He grinned at him while letting off a growling chuckle before bringing out his minigun and aiming it at the muscle teen. Sato's eye's widened when he saw the minigun he's holding and run to the side, right before Nanaue fired an onslaught of rubber bullets behind the fleeing hero-in-training, purposely leading him to the streets they came out of.
Tsuyu jumped towards Nanaue in hopes to help Sato and stopping the humanoid shark, but her assistance failed as Waylon surprises her with a shoulder bash, throwing her off the road and falling down the grassy hill. She rolled down halfway and stops as she lay down in pain between the riverside and the grassy hill.
Nanaue continued firing at Sato until he finally entered the streetway and stopped before placing his minigun on his back. He then turns to Waylon and gave out a toothy smile. "She's all yours, Waylon."
Waylon smirked back at him as he watch his fellow animal brother-in-arms chasing down his prey into the streets and disappear from his sight. He turns his attention towards the cliffside hill and couldn't help but let out a crocodile hiss. Down below, Tsuyu groaned and croaked as she started to get up from the grassy floor, recovering from the surprise attack from Waylon. She stands up while shaking her head and was about to jump back up to the road to face two humanoid animals. But she stopped herself when she heard crocodile noises from above and looked up to see Waylon coming down towards her with his fists up high.
Tsuyu quickly jumped out of the way as the humanoid croc made an impact on the ground, sending off small dust of wind and dirt due to him smashing his fist to the grassy floor instead of Tsuyu. The frog-girl landed and crouched down while Waylon stands up slowly and smirked at her.
"Your fast, Little Frog, but hopping around isn't gonna help you." Waylon complimented her with a toothy grin. "And if you thinking about helping your muscle friend, I'm afraid Nanaue is taking good care of him."
"I have faith in my teammates, Jones." Tsuyu said while looking at him carefully. "When Sato defeats your friend, he'll be coming to help beat you, ribbit."
Waylon chuckled lightly as he closed his eyes and then open up to face her. "Well, There's one thing my Auntie once said to me about people failing their jobs. If you want something done right..." He placed his pointy finger to the top of the scar on his left eye and trail it down. "Best to do it yourself."
Tsuyu croaked before leaping towards him in hopes to kick the humanoid crocodile, but he swiftly took a step aside letting Tsuyu past him. She lands on the floor and tries to hit him two times, both Jones dodge both of them by taking a step back. Tsuyu looked at him carefully as Waylon looked at her, tilting his head aside while giving off a smug expression.
"He's analyzing my moves so he can predict them while fighting. I need to find a way to distract him or caught him off-guard." Tsuyu thought as she thinks quickly before getting the idea. She fired her long tongue at Waylon's face, who was caught off guard and was now met with a tongue to the face, making him cover his eyes while taking a step back. Seeing that he's now distracted, Tsuyu took this opportunity as she hops up and swings her leg at him, hoping to get him by surprise before he has the chance to recover.
But unfortunately for her, Waylon grabbed her ankle before her feet made contact with his head. Tsuyu eyes widened by surprise as Waylon looked at her and smile toothily before tossing her towards the river. Tsuyu recovered in mid-air and landed on the ground right at the edge of the cliffside. She looks up towards her opponent, only to see him charge straight at her with great speed and tackle her off the cliffside. They both fall down and crash into the river, making a big splash as they both disappeared into the river's deep.
Somewhere near the riverside, Sato stops running and turns the face Nanaue who was after him for at least four minutes. Nanaue skidded to a halt as they both are standing in the middle of the empty street, both giving off a challenging stare as they both look each other. Nanaue looked at the muscle teen with his black eyes before letting off a grinning smile.
"So, you finally decided to face me person to person?" Nanaue asked him in a challenging, yet taunting tone, his fists clenched in agitation while smiling eagerly.
Sato didn't respond to his question as he reach down to his belt and picked some small bags out of their holders. He squeezed one of them with his fingers, releasing some sugar inside it and going down his mouth, swallowing the sugar down his throat. He does the same with the other small bag before tossing both of them aside and glaring at the humanoid shark.
"If I'm gonna fight you, Nanaue, I'm gonna have to go all out!" Sato shouted as his muscles seemed to grow through his costume and become more noticeable. Sato glared at the aquatic humanoid being and prepared himself for the battle ahead.
Nanaue blinked in surprise seeing the boy in front of him eat the sugars and powered up. Seeing he's activated his Quirk, he couldn't help but let out a chuckle. "I see you have a sweet tooth. That's all well and good." He brings his arms out and smashed them together with his right fist connected to his left palm. "But lucky for me, I'm more of the meat tooth kind of animal."
Mina was sliding down the pathway using her Quirk on her boots while cheering loudly as she jumps up to the air, spreading her arms out as a grey substance flew out of them. The substances made contact on the wall or floor and within seconds they started to sizzle and melt through. Mina was so distracted with her cheering and excitement she didn't notice the mess she created. She lands on the floor after her jump and couldn't help but let out a giggle.
"Hey Ashido, wait up!" She turned and saw Kirishima running towards her while going through the melted lines and turns courtesy of Mina' Acid Quirk. Once he finally catch up to her, he started panting and face her. "Hey I know you're getting excited about going up against our new classmates, but didn't Yaoyorozu say to us not go out in the open in case Lawton finds us?"
"Oh come on, Kirishima. We're totally fine. He hasn't shot us yet, so it's safe to say he hasn't found us." Mina dismissed the problem before walking into the road, much to the redhead's worries. "Besides, what could go wrong? You have your hardening Quirk so you don't have to worry about getting hurt from his bullets."
"Well... you do have a point." Kirishima kinda admitted, finding some truths behind the statement from the pink-skinned girl. However, he shook his head from the thought and walk towards her. "But Ashido, shouldn't we come up with a plan on our own in case one of them show themselves? We haven't heard from Yaoyorozu for a while and there's no telling-"
That was then he was interrupted by an unexpected red laser shot on the concrete floor to their sides, letting off small sparks of explosions as they jumped back from the red laser. The laser disappeared leaving a small hole in the middle of the road as the two heroes-in-training looked up where the laser was coming from. They got their answer when they saw someone in a black suit of armour hops down from the rooftop and hover down to the ground using the thrusters on both his back and legs.
(Aquaman OST: Black Manta. Starts playing.)
Landed down on the concrete floor was none other than David Kane, looking up towards the two opponents with his optics sizzling in red steamy smoke. Both Mina and Kirishima were standing side by side while facing the black armoured teen, ready to fight him as the redhead hardened his arms.
"Loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep." David quoted off in a deep robotic voice as he walks towards them in thunderous steps, causing the two to take a step back. "And decay spreads over the tottering cities of men."
He stops walking and stands towards them as the beeping was heard from his jet pack. Once the red lines from his tank-thruster were up and the beeping finally stops, David's optics from his helmet sizzles in red steam and lean his body back to prepare his attack.
Kirishima's eyes widened knowing what he was going to do and pushed Mina out of the way. "Get back!"
David leans forward towards Kirishima who's crossed his hardened arms to protect himself and fires his red beam out of his optics. The red beam made contact with the redhead's arms and he has flown away from the force of the laser. Kirishima crashed into the store behind him and impacted one of the stand-like tables in the middle of the store. The redhead rolls to his back in pain as he's holding his arms that are sizzling.
"Kirishima!" Mina cries out to her friend as she's about to head over to the store and help him, but unfortunately, she was stopped when she saw someone coming towards her and jumping into the air.
"Oh no, you don't, Pinky!" Harleen shouted as she came down ready to hit the pink-skinned girl downside with her bat, but she jumps back to avoid her attack and was ready to face her. Harleen turns to her and giggled with a maddened grin. "Sorry Mina, but I can't let you help your friend."
As the two girls faced each other, David activated his thrusters and hovers towards the store where Kirishima crashed into. He then drops down and landed in front of the entrance, making a small crater underneath his feet as he slowly turns towards the redhead, who looked at his burning arms with a shocked expression. The black armoured teen walk inside the store while staring at the kneeling redhead.
Kirishima shook his arms to get rid of the pain and looks at David. "Is that all you got?"
"There is more than just my Heat-Ray," David responded before deploying a blade out of his left gauntlet.
(Aquaman OST: Black Manta. Stops playing at 1:17.)
Kirishima stands up and rushes towards him, but later stops as he's dodging the slashes of David's attacks. He swings his right arm at the redhead but he ducks under and backhanded him, but David recovered quickly as he turns 360 while attempting to slash him with his blade. Kirishima blocks it by grabbing his left forearm and punching him square in the helmet three times.
David staggered a bit before attempting to hit him with the same blade, but he blocks it again. However, he came prepared as he use his free hand to reach behind him, grabbed the handle from the tank thruster and pulls out a sword. Kirishima's eyes widened by this and drags the armed blade down to block the sword, but he was so distracted by the blades he was headbutted by David, making a bell-like sound when Kirishima fell to the floor in pain.
Outside of the store, Mina and Harleen faced each other in the middle of an empty road as the Wildcard stared at her with a maddened grin. A few seconds later, Mina smiled back before bringing her hands together and firing a torrent of grey acid towards her. Harleen saw this coming and leapt out of the way before charging at Mina, with her bat ready in her hand. She dodges more of Mina's acid attacks while getting closer before jumping over the grey acid and raising her bat to bring down the pain.
Mina shoots her acid substance at Harleen by the time she swings her bat down and jumps out of the way while backflipping with he hands on the ground and hops again to her feet. Harleen looks at her wooden handler in her hand and saw that the whole top of her bat has been melted off and evaporated.
"Awww! my bat's broken." She whined as she looked at Mina with a frowning stare.
Mina chuckled nervously while rubbing the back of her head. "Sorry about that, Harleen."
Harleen looked at her for a few seconds before her face shifted with a large smile and drops her broken bat with a shrug. "Eh, whatever. I got something better anyway."
Mina was left confused as she saw Harleen reach the back of her waist. She pulls out what appears to be a small cylinder-like object and with a flick of a button, the object expanded and turns into a silver and red two-metre javelin. She flips her new weapon around while giggling like crazy before facing Mina, who was shocked by the unexpected weapon she had as she looked at Harleen as she chuckled and sweating in slight fear.
(The Monitor Room)
"Looks like the battle has already started," Rick stated as he, his partners in crime, All Might and the students watched the fight on multiple screens across the training ground.
"Wow. Look at Iida and Harkness go. They both running around so fast, it's so crazy." Hagakure said in amazement as she watch both speedsters battling one another. With Digger throwing his boomerangs at the modern knight who dodges them swiftly and speeds towards him in an attempt to kick him. However, the Aussie uses his Quirk to dodge his attack and catches the last boomerang he threw.
"Seems like Jones took Asui into the river with him." The boy with multiple arms commented as he watched the screen where Waylon tackled Tsuyu into the river, seeing no sign of them anywhere.
Then suddenly the screen soon shifted and changed to a different part of the river, later showing Waylon submerging out of the water holding Tsuyu over his shoulders. He laid her down carefully, before reaching to one of his pockets on his zipped vest and pulling out a small object. He puts it in her mouth for at least a couple of seconds before she starts coughing out some water and later tied her up with the capture tape.
"Looks like another hero is down for a count." All Might said as he watched the aftermath between young Jones and young Asui. He smiled loudly as he saw young Jones making sure if young Asui was okay and seem to be complimented her by patting her on the back. He brings the microphone to his mouth and announces. "Tsuyu Asui has been captured!"
"Seems like our kids are having the upper hand." Bloodsport stated as he watch multiple screens of two teams fighting, and from what he saw so far, the Squad are winning.
Peacemaker chuckled in amusement by the Merc's statement, as he watch Nanaue block the blows from Sato's punches before countering by punching him in the stomach. "Oh, the Pro-Heroes aren't gonna be happy when they see their students got their asses kicked by a bunch of kids they considered villains."
"Um, what do you mean by that?" Ochaco asked them as she overheard the conversation between the two assistants and looked at them with a confused look. The two former villains looked at each other for a second before turning their attention to her.
"You don't want to know kid, trust me." Bloodsport told the girl who asked as Peacemaker nodded in agreement. As much as they love to tell them how the Pro-Heroes treating the future Task Force X, They're not going to risk running their mouths on them and most likely sent to prison. Ochaco was confused for a minute before accepting their answer and looked at the screen, hoping to see a certain boy in one of the cameras.
Inasa watches one screen where Jason was taking on Yaoyorozu as they traded blows with weapons in their hands. He watches as Jason blocks the strikes from Yaoyorozu's staff with his knife and counter her by landing a swift kick to her abdomen, making her flinch in pain but not enough as she blocks another kick with her staff. Inasa was grinning in excitement as he cannot wait to see the results, as he has complete faith that Jason will come out on top.
He raised his hand in excitement and cheered out for the person who opened his eyes. "You can do it, Jason! Use your passion to win!"
"He really is rooting for this guy, isn't he?" The black-haired boy looked at him as he watch the tall man cheering continued to cheer him on. He doesn't know what got such an enthusiastic boy like him cheering that Todd person so much, but he had a feeling Todd did something that got him this excited. He's not complaining, though. He finds it kinda funny.
"Yeah, but that kinda reminds me. Does he really have to hang Mineta like that?" Ojiro questioned as he gave out his concerns about Mineta hanging upside down while unconscious.
"Sometimes the darkness can be your guide and ally through stealthy environments." Tokoyami quoted as he gave out his opinion towards Jason's takedown on Mineta.
"I did see him trying to take a peek under Yaoyorozu's skirt." The boy with multiple arms told the two boys. "So I think it's safe to say that's his punishment."
"Serves that pervert right," Hagakure stated as she crossed her arms with a huff, thanking the boy mentally for stopping the small pervert. She looked at one of the screens and saw Harleen attacking her friend Mina with her javelin while her friend dodged her swings and light stabs. "Oh! Looks like Ashido and Quinzel are fighting again."
"Yeah, and did you see the fight between Kirishima and Kane earlier? Kane was shooting lasers out of his eyes, it was amazing." The black-haired boy said remembering the earlier battle. "It's almost like he use using a Quirk, but you forget he has no powers. Did someone at the support course make that suit?"
"Actually no, Sero. He made that suit himself. Months before we started here." The Colonel answered the black-haired boy who had now been called Sero, as he and some of the students looked at him surprised. "He was trained by Dr Morrow for his incredible skills of engineering and craftsmanship. Waller showed him one of the most advanced weapons in the world and he remodelled it into his suit. It always comes to show you shouldn't judge the book by its cover until you see what they can do."
"The Colonel is right, young students." All Might added in, agreeing with the words of the soldier. "Whenever you face a villain in the coming future of your life, always remember that you should never underestimate them. If you're not careful, it could be fatal and disastrous. Take this to heart, kids, it will help you in the future."
"Yes sir!"
Bloodsport leans towards Peacemaker and whispers. "It didn't do him any favours after I put a bullet in his chest." This got the Vigilante to snort in amusement.
While the students replied to the Symbol of Peace's words of advice, two people have been kept quiet during the whole viewing. One was a boy with a rock-like head wearing a red and yellow sports-like suit, and the other with stylised blonde hair and wears a glittering silver armour with a purple cape and red winged-themed sunglasses. The rock-headed teen nodded to All Might by the same time the students replied, while the blonde-haired boy looks at the screen in disbelief. He wasn't paying attention to what everyone was saying as he looked at the screen where David and Kirishima were fighting.
"He was able to shoot a laser, and yet he is Quirkless." The blonde-haired boy thought as he watch the screen in shock, but at the same time, envious of his abilities. He placed his hands on the belt plate with a crystal-like orb in the middle and couldn't help but frown in sadness. He can shoot a laser out of his belly but his body cannot handle it and has to be contained by using a belt to sustain it. Yet Kane can use his own laser and not have trouble controlling it, only because it's an equipment-based laser and not an actual Quirk.
He was already depressed when he found out five of his new classmates are Quirkless, but seeing Kane using his laser in action got him feeling down than he already was. He then shook his head, getting rid of the dark thought that had been plaguing his mind and tried to forget the envious feeling inside of them. They all seem like good people, and he's not going to let his personal feelings get in the way of befriending his new classmates.
The double-coloured haired teen noticed something different through the cameras and started to point it out to the other. "I haven't seen Santana, Lawton and Midoriya somewhere in the cameras."
"Now that you mention it, Todoroki. I haven't seen Bakugo, Kaminari and Jiro around either." The boy with Multiple arms said as he understands where Todoroki was coming from.
"Yeah, it's almost like we're missing them," Ochaco said as she too noticed there's no sign of Izuku or the others in the cameras, wondering what's happening to the green-haired boy and can't help but feel worried.
Peacemaker looked at the Symbole of Peace as he fold his arms and frowned at him. "Hey, aren't you going to find out where they are or did you just forget there are more students out there in the city?"
All Might blinked his darkened eyes as he can feel everyone looking at him from behind. He coughed his hands to compose himself before trying to explain. "Ah, no worries everyone. I'm sure the cameras in Ground Beta can spot them wherever they are." As if on queue, he heard a ping from the screen as he turned and saw a file appear on the top right side. "Ah, what of the coincidence! It seems they've already spotted someone right now! let's take a look!"
(Ground Beta)
Flying through the random streets in the fake city, Katsuki Bakugo was using his Quirk to propel himself from the ground and fly through the streets. His facial expression was more hateful than ever as he dropped to the ground and looked around in the empty streets, hoping to find the one person who he hated the most out of everyone in his class.
And that person was none other than the Quirkless, shitty, worthless Deku who's been a thorn in his side for far too long, even if he's gone for six fucking years out of his life.
Before he thought he was gone for good six years ago, he bullied that parasite relentlessly to show his superiority to him and prove he's better than him. That damn nerd treated him like he's some kind of weakling, just like him, and he goes out his way to protect other kids who think they're better than him. He's always shaking in his boots a lot while trying to stand up to him, and never backs down despite being afraid.
He hated Deku for that so much, and he hated him more when he found out he has All Might, The Number One Top Hero, his aspirations of becoming a Pro-Hero in the first place, as his fucking stepdad. He was furious to no end and bullied Deku much worse than before. Then four years later, All Might came to him and started praising him for his talents. He was honestly shocked when he told him he is worthy of his Quirk named One For All, which is a cultivated power that grows stronger as it passed along, and he's the next person to be gifted by such power.
He then asked him about Deku and why not given the power to him, despite hating the idea that a weakling like him getting One For All. And the response from All Might got him surprised but at the same time delighted. He told him Deku doesn't have what it takes to be a hero and goes out his way to tell him he's far too weak to be given such power. He agreed with everything All Might said. Deku was far too weak and doesn't deserve to be given One For All, and he was better off forgotten from the face of the Earth. He finally got what he wanted when he heard from his old hag that Deku disappear five days after their talk, and he spent the next six years without having the Quirkless weakling catching up to him.
But that was when he showed himself in the most popular school in all of Japan and for the first time in his life, Deku was no longer afraid of him and has a lot more backbone and confidence. And what's worse is that five of his ragtag of losers are Quirkless just like Deku. They started showing him up with their pathetic stunts and weak-ass weapons, and what's even worse is the extras of his class started praising them despite being Quirkless. They praised the Accent Talker and those animal freaks for their useless Quirks, and they should praise him because he has a superior Quirk than them. They even praise Deku who destroyed that robot yesterday and that infuriates him to no end. Quirkless are nothing more than inferior race, deserve to be forgotten and trampled on like bugs waiting to be squashed. And Deku will be the first to know his place in this society and put him down for good.
Permenately.
He walked through the streets while looking around the place from either buildings, rooftops or alleyways. He already heard what happened to the Purple Midget and Frog-Girl, but he wasn't concerned about them as he focused his attention on finding Deku. He's not gonna rest until he finds that damn weakling, and put an end to him once and for all. And after he's done, his pathetic friends will be next.
Including that Pink Cheek extra who's reminded him so much like that damn weakling and even know him months before coming to U.A, around the same time the Entrance Exam started. Did Deku tell her something that got her to cheat? She got third place on the leaderboard with 28 villain points and 45 rescue points that he thought was bullshit. Heroes are all about being the strongest, strength is the only thing that truly matters in this society. Helping others that are weaker than him is not what a hero is all about. Saving people are for weaklings. And if Pink Cheeks want to help those pathetic extras, then she's weak like Deku and he'll be dealing with her personally. He'll be sure to set her up as the example and teach her why heroes shouldn't bother helping others that are beneath them.
He continued walking down when he heard something talking from the alleyway to his left. He turns towards it and headed there to get a better hearing. He walked closer to hear who was talking, and from what he heard got him and grin in excitement.
"Okay Chato, here's what we're going to do..." The voice of Deku was heard inside the alleyway, properly talking to one of his weak friends.
"Found you..." Bakugo thought as he propelled himself inside and turns to the source behind the large trashcan. "There you are, you damn-"
He stopped as he saw no one there, only to see a voice tape recorder connected to grey clay, along with a timer that started counting down from five seconds.
Bakugo's eyes widened when he saw what kind of explosive device it is and propelled himself backwards quickly out of the ally. But the explosive detonated and blows off the parts of the alleyway, including Bakugo who got blown away by the explosion and landed hard on the concrete road. Bakugo groaned in pain as he slowly got up from the ground and look at the flaming destruction of the alleyway.
"That was a C-4 just now, along with a recorder using Deku's voice." Bakugo thought as he watches the fire and couldn't help but snarl in anger. "Did that damn Nerd know I was looking for him only to lure me into a-"
"Looks like You've got my invitation."
The familiar voice called out to him as he turned and look up to the rooftops, only to see Izuku Midoriya walk up to the edge and stare at him through the mask he is wearing.
"Just you and me." He taunted the explosive Quirk user in a challenging manner before he started running. "COME ON!"
Bakugo gritted his teeth in rage and propelled himself upward, going after Izuku who jumped to another rooftop and rolled to the floor before running again. Bakugo propelled himself faster in hopes to reach him and he was able to get close to him as Izuku jumps off from the edge. But as Izuku was in mid-air, he grabbed the small poll from the back of his waist and extended it into a long staff. And with a swift turn, he whacked Bakugo across the face before he has a chance to use his Quirk on him.
Bakugo was rolling on the rooftop he just landed and stops as he growled in pain while laying on his back. He look up and saw Izuku jump off from the roof of the entrance door and roll out of the way to dodge Izuku's staff coming to his face. He quickly got up and block the perries of staff strikes with his gauntlets and attempted to drag them away from Izuku's hands, But his grip was too strong as he kicked him around and got him to hit the wall behind him.
Bakugo recovered quickly and snarled loudly at Izuku, and within seconds, he launch himself towards him and brings his left arm forward. Izuku saw it coming and raises his staff up, and the weapon shifted into a circle-like shield to protect him from Bakugo's blast, making him skid backwards about a few feet. He shifted his staff to normal only to see the spikey-blonde boy come to him and kick him in the chest, making him push backwards and off from the roof to the narrowed alleyway below him.
Izuku recovered from the surprise attack before shifting his body down and bringing his staff forward, using both ends of the staff connected to both walls like a metal pipe. Izuku holds firmly on the staff and slings himself upwards to return to the roof. Bakugo smiled wickedly thinking he had beaten the weakling as he looked over to the edge hoping he falls to the ground. But he was met with a kick to the face as he was flown backwards and landed on his back.
Izuku flipped forward and landed on his feet, looking at the bully in front of him who's holding his face while groaning in pain. He removed his hand from his face, revealing a very pissed off Bakugo with some blood leaking out of his nose. He stands up while snarling and glaring at him with a murderous stare, as Izuku narrowed his eyes at him in response. Bakugo whipped the blood from his nose and look at it for a moment, before facing the green-haired boy with a snarl.
"You think you can beat me, you damn useless bug?" Bakugo snarled through his teeth as he stared furiously at Izuku. "You really think a weakling like you can use some pathetic toys to beat someone as superior as me? Do you think you can look down on me just because you think you're better than me!?"
Izuku was silent for a second after Bakugo's little rant before bringing his right arm up and unsheathed his sword from his back. He still stares at Bakugo with even eyes. "I'm not the same useless Deku you saw me six years ago, and I never once look down on you until now." He then points his sword at the Explosive Pomeranian. "But as for you, you're still that same delusional amateur who thinks he's some god among men."
His statement seems to trigger Bakugo as he growled in hatred and glared at him with a hardened, yet evil stare. "I'm gonna enjoy turning you into a pile of ashes like an insect you are." He growled as he brought his hands up, sending off sparks of explosions from his palms. "And once I deal with you, your little friends will be next." He then let out a wicked smirk. "Especially that Pink Cheek extra you always with."
Izuku eyebrows furrowed in anger and scowled when he said those words as he brought his sword back and got into a fighting stance. He's not going to let him land a single spark of explosion on his family, including Uraraka.
(The Monitor Room)
Everyone in the room was watching the fight between Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo, and what the students saw, got them amazed. They saw Izuku holding out his own against someone so strong and skillfully fought him with nothing but his staff. They're currently watching them standing on a rooftop distance away from each other as Izuku holding a sword while Bakugo sends off mini-explosions.
"Wow... Did you see them fighting on the rooftop, it was intense." Hagakure said giving out her opinion about the fight they have earlier.
"I always thought he only used swords to fight him, but it appears he's more resourceful than we thought," The boy with Multiple arms said as he watch the screen before him.
"I thought he's going to fall into that ally, glad he has that staff with him," Sero stated as he was worried for a Quirkless boy when he fell into the ally, then swings himself back up to kick Bakugo to the face.
As everyone discusses the previous fight, Ochaco has stayed silent when she saw Deku and Bakugo fighting on the rooftop. She was worried for Izuku when he's fighting Bakugo because of how strong he is with his Quirk. She didn't doubt him because she saw him take out that robot that the doctor brought in yesterday, but when she saw Bakugo kick Izuku out of the roof, she nearly screamed as her heart skipped in fright. Then her worries eased when he skillfully uses his staff as a pipeline and swings himself up to the roof. Now they're in the standoff, not knowing what's going to happen between the boy she enjoy being with and the boy with hate and anger.
"You can do it, Deku." Ochaco thought out, giving him her mental support as she watches the screen with an agitated expression. She hopes Izuku will come out on top and win against Bakugo.
In the front row of the audience, Bloodsport leans over to Peacemaker and Rick and whispered to them. "Good thing Slade taught that kid how to fight against strong opponents."
Both nodded their head in agreement as the Colonel whispered back. "Looking at the expression this Bakugo kid is having, I have a feeling Izuku gonna need all the lesson he learned from Deathstroke. That kid looks like he wanted to kill him as we know it."
All Might overheard the silent conversation from his teacher assistants and couldn't help but agree to them. He may not show it, only because he doesn't want his students to know young Izuku is his stepson, he was extremely worried for the boy when he's going up against young Bakugo. Watching him fighting his long time bully almost similar to his rival has got him a little ease but at the same time a little frightened, properly because he saw Izuku fighting like Deathstroke. But that's not what got him worried, it's the expression and words that came out of Bakugo's mouth from the earpiece he gave both teams before starting the match.
"I know young Bakugo thinks he's superior to everyone else, but this level of pride and ego is something else entirely." All Might thought as he watch the screen with agitated feeling. "From what young Bakugo just said to young Izuku, he'd fully intended to do worse to the boy, even goes so far as to go after his friends." He then turns over his shoulders and saw a worried, yet faithful Ochaco looking at the screen. "Including young Uraraka."
He knows young Izuku and young Uraraka have developed a small bond with each other and he can see that it was growing stronger the more they're together. It's no secret that they become more fond of each other as time progresses and he cannot help but find it sweet when he first saw them together before combat training. If young Bakugo really intended to hurt the girl after finishing the score with his stepson, then he needs to do something to prevent him from harming the new students and young Uraraka.
All Might turns back towards the screen and watches as both Izuku and Bakugo charge towards and clash with each other for another battle. He gripped his board while watching the fight unfold. "Young Izuku, whatever you do, please be careful."
(Ground Beta)
Back to the training ground, Kyoka Jiro was running through the alleyway before stopping in the middle of a backward area with few buildings surrounding it and having two alleyways in front of her. Wasting no time and can't decide which one to pick, she crouched down and extended her organic earplugs to the floor. She can able to hear footsteps, explosions, etc from several miles away as she concentrated on the closest point to where the noises are coming from. After listening very carefully, she pinpointed the closest noise near her and looked at the left alleyway before unplugging her earplugs.
"With everyone's so busy fighting, Trying to find where they are is out of the bag." Jiro thought as she stands up while looking at the left side of the alleyway. "But I have to help my teammates before we end up-"
Her thoughts were interrupted by a sound of a gun clicking as she turns around saw someone behind her. Her eyes are widened before raising her hands as she saw Floyd walking towards her with his gauntlets trained forward.
"Trying to find your friends, little girl?" Floyd taunted her as he aimed his wrist-guns at the purple-haired girl.
"I was hoping I would find someone who isn't a stalker." Jiro retorted as she grimaced in thought. "This is bad. From what I heard from Yaoyorozu, this guy stopped Iida from scouting out the city. If I made a wrong move, I'll be done for."
Floyd continued to point his gauntlets at her as she's taken a step back from the young sharpshooter. She tried to think of a way to get him off guard without getting blasted by rubber bullets (She hoped) until she finally thought of a good idea that could work against him.
Jiro smiled at Floyd as she tilted her head to the left. "So. Lawton, right? Was it true that you're the one who stopped Iida from running around the city?"
Floyd was confused by her question, wondering why is she asking that question with a smile on her face. Thinking that she's has something on her sleeve that will lower his guard, he played along for a bit and answer her question. "Yeah, I shot Strict Boy. What of it?"
"I was just wondering, giving Iida can move super fast by using the engines from his calves," Jiro replied as she extended her left earplug down behind her back so that the sharpshooter wouldn't notice. "I like to know. How did you able to shoot Iida when he's going at such speed? I know you're very good with guns, but I didn't think you can shoot someone who is faster than you."
"Normally it took a long amount of time and patients for someone to achieve that level of skill," Floyd answered the rock-themed girl while still training his wrist-magnums at her. "But for me, it just comes naturally. I guessed you can say it's my form of Quirk."
"Is it? Well, If you keep that up, some people might think you just developed a Quirk." Jiro said with a smirk as her earplug finally reaches down towards her boots as the plug was inches away from the socket. "I'm just saying. If that was your Quirk, what would you be calling it?"
Floyd narrowed his eyes at her as he didn't answer her question. Instead, he lowered his right arm to her left leg and fired his wrist-magnum. The rubber bullet made hit her leg and got her to fall on her knees. Jiro gasps in shock that her attempted plan failed as she looks at the sharpshooter, only for him to fire another round to the head. Jiro falls to her back while holding her forehead in pain as Floyd walks over to her before picking her up from the ground.
"Nice try, Kyoka. You nearly had me for a second. But if you really want to lower someone's guard, don't look so noticeable." Floyd advises her as he brings her arms down before taking out the capture tape. "Tilting your head so I can't see your earplugs is a dead giveaway."
Jiro still felt sore on her forehead where he shot at and couldn't help as she chuckled and smiled sadly. "I guess I have more to learn then, huh?"
"Well, isn't that the reason why we're here in the first place?" Floyd asked her as he finally wrapped the tape around her wrist before patting her on the shoulder. "Besides, It's our first day of doing an actual hero lesson. Take my advice, try to learn what you can from now on until you find a way to improve yourself. That's the only thing I can give you."
"Kyoka Jiro has been captured!"
The voice of All Might was heard in the city as he walks in front of her and kneels down to her level, observing the red mark on her forehead. "Will you gonna be alright?"
"My head still aches a lot. But other than that, I'm fine." Kyoka replied as he looked at Floyd and smiled. "You know, for a guy playing as a villain, you're awfully a good sport to someone who's got shot by your bullets."
"Well, this is just battle training. It's not like we're here trying to murder each other or anything." Floyd said with a smirk under his mask until they heard an explosion from the distance. They both look up when the noise was heard as Floyd stands up. "What the hell was that?"
"That's the explosion I heard just before you found me, only it was bigger, or just close by," Kyoka said as she at the direction from the source. "I heard it coming from the left side of the alleyway. Whatever's going on over there must be something big going down." She then turns towards Floyd. "What are you going to do?"
The young sharpshooter stared at the alley as he narrowed his eyes towards it. Knowing full well what he's going to do.
Meanwhile, Kaminari was in the middle of a small park with a couple of trees and bushes surrounded by medium-size buildings, along with a couple of benches around the area.
"Man, can't believe those guys caught Jiro, and I haven't even heard a single villain team getting captured yet," Kaminari muttered as he looked around the area he's standing on. "Good thing Jiro told me she heard something walking around this part of the city before getting captured." He then let out a tired sigh. "Hopefully, this is the right place. It felt like hours running around the place."
"And you didn't even bother to call your teammates for directions?"
Kaminari jolted with a yelp as he heard a feminine voice to his right as he saw someone with a dark green messy coat and a stitched-up gas mask walking out of the bush pointing her revolver at the Blondish orange-haired boy. He took a step back in fright as Cleo Flannegan walk up towards him before stopping.
"You know, I was waiting for you to come here when I was told you're around," Cleo said as she's beginning to yawn under her mask. "But I've waited for good ten minutes to the point I just wanted to go to sleep. Now that you here, we can get this over with."
Kaminari was scared for a minute when she was holding a gun at him and tried to hold himself together as he took a brave face and prepare himself. Since there is only him and her in the small park, he can use his Electricity Quirk without worrying to hurt his teammates. Though it's a shame he has to hurt a strange, yet cute girl before him. He'll try to apologise to her after this is over and perhaps have a chance to ask her out.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Sleepyhead?" He taunted her bravely as he raise his hand up a little and sends a spark of electricity from his palm. "It'll be a shame to hurt such a cute girl like yourself."
"Flattery will get you nowhere," Cleo said, not taking an interest in what the flirt just said to her as she lowered her revolver down away from him. "And besides, it's not me you have to worry about."
Kaminari was left confused for a moment until he heard a high pitched squeak and look down. Only to see a small rat with a red vest over it standing up and squeaking at him continuously. Kaminari raises an eyebrow at the rat before letting out a snicker and faces Cleo. "Seriously? I'm mean, no offence, but I don't think your pet rat can do much against me."
"Who says it's just Sebastion," Cleo said cryptically, making the boy stop laughing as she whistled through her mask.
He heard some bushes shuffling around them and later more than several rats came out of hiding and run up near the boy and beside Sebastion. He then heard the shuffle above him as he look up and saw more rats climbing on the branches of the tree and learning down, all squeaking at him threatening.
Kaminari paled in fear when he saw rats surrounding him with threatening squeaks and sweated profoundly before turning towards Cleo with a nervously scared chuckle. "Uhhh, Ca-can we, you know, just talk about this?"
Cleo tilted her head aside in his desperate attempt to save his life and instead of answering him, she raise her left arm out and snap her fingers.
By her call, all the rats from above and below, all rushing towards him and surrounding the poor boy. The rats from the branches drop towards him while Sebastion and his fellow species climb onto him. They are surrounding Kaminari by crawling all over his body as he screamed in terror by wailing arms around and falls to the ground. He continued screaming for help as Cleo stared at him blankly, not sure what she was expecting and can't help but comment.
"You... are a terrible disappointment."
(The Monitor Room)
All of the audience in the room stared in silence as they watch Kaminari getting attacked by a swarm of rats. Nothing has been said or commented while they look in the mixture of shock, pity, and a small sense of fear. The rock-headed boy stared at the girl in bewilderment as he saw the girl control rats by her command, wondering if she somewhat have the same powers as him.
Bloodsport look at the attacked Kaminari in pity and couldn't help but let out a shiver. "I know how you feel kid... I know how you feel."
Peacemaker chuckled nervously as he place his hand on his shoulder. "Look at the bright side, Dubois, at least it's not you."
It didn't make anything better as the Merc swatted his arm away. Rick focused on the other screen and can already see that it was about to come to an end. "Looks like things are finally wrapping up now."
(Ground Beta)
(The Suicide Squad OST: Mayhem on the Beach. Starts Playing.)
In the alleyway, Jason was stepping back while dodging the strikes and blows from the staff holder by Yaoyorozu. He eventually stops and blocked the staff with his curved knife, and countered with a kick to the sides. The girl bends to the side as she grunted in pain and swings her staff upwards to try to catch him by surprise, which somehow worked as Jason brought his knife forward to block it and it flies out of his hand as it flew up and dropped to the ground behind him.
Jason looked at his knife behind him and turn to face Yaoyorozu. "Huh...Okay." He brought his fists up and prepare himself as the girl panted a little from her fight with the helmet-wearing teen.
Yaoyorozu brings her staff up and charges towards him to swing her weapon at Jason, but as she swings he jumps over the incoming staff and over Yaoyorozu, landed her back and kicked her on the back of the head while leapt off of her. She stumbled forward before stopping herself and turns around to face her foe, only to see him launch himself off the wall and perform a swinging kick towards her head.
She ducks down barely as he missed her head and attempted to turn around, but she was cut off by an arm wrapped around her right arm to prevent her from turning and felt a sharp blunt pain on the left side of her lower neck, making her dazed from the blow. After elbowing her, Jason forcibly turn her around and headbutted her square to the head, knocking her out from the blunt force and laying on her back while growing in pain.
Jason sighed behind his helmet as he walked over to her and gently held her up, before grabbing the capture tape after he led her to the wall close to them. "Sorry about that Momo, but for whatever's worth, I think you did really well going up against someone stronger than you."
In the empty part of the street, Sato was pulling no punches as he sends a barrel of fists directly at Nanaue, who brought his forearms in front of him to block incoming attacks. He skidded inches by inches as the attacks continues on, but the humanoid shark only chuckled as he saw Sato brings his fist back to deliver the final blow. But his final blow was thwarted as Nanaue caught the fist with his bare hands, making Sato's eyes widen in shock as he watches his opponent towering before him with a toothy grin and bring his fist up.
He was too shocked to block it as Nanaue's fist contacted his stomach, making him gasp out in pain as the shark creature let go of his fist. He was holding his stomach as he tried to look at Nanaue, only to be caught off guard once again as the fist connected to his chin, making him fly upwards from Nanaue's uppercut. Nanaue grabbed Sato's leg and slammed him facefirst to the concrete road, making a crater on contact as Sato groaned in pain and was unable to move.
Nanaue grinned as he saw his opponent beaten before letting go of his leg and walked up to him while bringing out the capture tape from his pocket.
In another part of the empty street, Digger was throwing two of his homemade boomerangs at Iida who noticed the incoming projectiles and dodge them using his Engine Quirk. He then speeds towards the Aussie and prepared to kick him square to the head, but Digger uses his Quirk to speed out of the way and catch the latter boomerang which he threw.
Iida was about to attack before his opponent has a chance to throw his weapons, but he noticed he only has one Boomerang and not two and noticed something coming towards him from the left side of his cornered eye. He turned and saw the boomerang heading straight towards him with great speed and quickly duck under the speeding projectile.
Digger catches the boomerang that was returning to him and chuckled while flipping his weapon. "Looks like we're evenly matched, mate. You know, after we're done here, maybe we can have a talk about how well our Quirks works when we work together. What do you say, mate?"
"Like I would work with a villain like you!" Iida yelled dramatically as he pointed at him as if he's the true villain. "You will be brought to justice and face trials for your crimes!"
"Wow. This bloke is still taking this combat training very seriously. He needs to calm down." Digger thought while deadpan at him before shooking it off and bringing his boomerangs up, ready to fight again and hope to get this done so he doesn't have to hear any more of his overdramatic acting.
However, before any of them can do anything, the wall of flames appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the area in one huge circle. Both boys looked around as they were trapped in the circle of flames and heard a whistle as they turned towards the source. They see none other than Chato Santana walking towards them after going through the wall of flames and letting out a cocky smirk at the modern-armoured knight.
Digger grinned at the one responsible for the flames and couldn't help but chuckle. "You know I could've handled this by myself, mate."
"I know, but I feel like you need some extra help," Chato responded as he stopped at the distance between the two speedsters and look at Iida. "And I thought it would be a good idea to trap him in the wall of flames in case he has a chance to escape."
"So you intended to trap me so you two can beat me in a fight?" Iida guessed before clenching his fist tightly. "You villains! Your wickedness knows no bounds!"
Chato turns towards Digger and raises an eyebrow, wanting to know what's going on with the modern-armoured knight. Digger shook his head and worded out 'Don't ask' before throwing his boomerangs at Iida.
The strict student dodges the incoming weapon and speeds up towards him in hopes to finish him off with a final kick before going after Chato, but he was caught off guard when the stream of flames from Chato's Quirk shot him before he has a chance to hit Digger. Iida was fell to the ground while covered in smoke as he tries his best to get up from the ground and face his foes, but he couldn't predict the incoming Boomerang as it hit him square to the head, knocking off his helmet in the process and fell on the concrete floor completely knocked out.
Digger once again catches his boomerang and look towards his fire-using friend/brother. "Thanks for the help, mate."
Chato smiled and nodded to him before he raise his hand out and snap his fingers, making the flames around them disappear in an instant. "Happy to help, Hermano." He then looks at the downed student. "Now, let's get this guy strapped up."
"Leave that to me, Chato," Digger smirked as he and Chato walk up to Iida and picked up the capture tape from his pocket. After helping the unconscious boy to sit up, he turns to Chato again. "I don't suppose we allowed to tape his mouth shut, right?"
In the middle of the empty street, Harleen was thrusting her javelin at Mina who was dodging her attacks before jumping back and spraying her acid at the mad girl. Harleen saw this and rolls forward to avoid the deadly liquid and stabs her weapon to the concrete ground in front of Mina who just landed in front of her. Mina rushed forward to deliver a sucker punch to Harleen's face, but the mad girl swings herself around while holding her javelin and kicked her across as the pink girl landed hard on the ground and slowly got up for another round.
As the two girls fight outside on the road, David and Kirishima are still battling one another in an empty store. The red-headed boy ducked under the incoming blade before running off away from David, who was going after him until he saw him jump up, placed his foot on the edge of the table and jump forward towards the armoured boy with his fist ready to strike. David couldn't block the hardened fist in time as it connected to his helmet and sent him to the ground on his front.
(The Suicide Squad OST: Mayhem on the Beach. Starts Playing at 1:36.)
Kirishima was kneeling for a moment before looking over to David and walking towards him before taunting. "Had enough, Kane?"
He didn't respond to his taunting question, instead, he kick his ankle making the redhead falls to his knees and reeling his arm blade back.
"Not quite!" He yelled as he stab his blade into Kirishima's left shoulder, making him yell out in pain as David forced him to stand up. "Your skin may be hardened, but my blades are sharper!"
He pulls his blade out from Kirishima's shoulder before skillfully flipping his sword to his left hand and trying to attack him, but Kirishima blocked it and attempted to disarm him but no luck. David flipped his sword back to his right hand and slashed his hardened sides before slashing his back, making Kirishima stumble forward in pain as David stands before him.
"It's over for you, hero," David said before activating his thrusters and charging towards him at fast speed. Kirishima was too busy fighting off the pain he couldn't get the chance to bock the incoming attack as the helmet impacted his torso, making him fly out of the store and into the road.
Mina jumped back from Harleen and was prepared to spray her with her acid, but she couldn't see the incoming redhead heading straight for her. She was so focused on Harleen, she couldn't prepare herself and was collided by Kirishima, making both crashes into the road and now piled into one another while groaning unconsciously.
(The Suicide Squad OST: Mayhem on the Beach. Stops Playing.)
Harleen was standing there while blinking before he heard someone walking towards her and look to her right, only to see David walking down the small stairs out of the store. Harleen giggled before waving her hands at him. "Thanks for the big help, Dave!"
"Please don't call me that, and you're welcome," David responded as he walked up to her before placing his sword to his back and retracting his arm blade. "Well, that's those two taking care of. That makes nine heroes captured, correct?"
Harleen nodded to him with a cheerful hum. "That means there's one more person who hasn't been pummeled yet." She placed her fingers to her chin and look up to the sky with a thoughtful expression. "I wonder who could it be?"
"From what I've heard from All Might during our fight, The only name I didn't hear is that Katsuki Bakugo guy," David said before remembering something. "Come to think of it, Isn't Izuku taking care of him right now?"
"Now that you mention it, I haven't heard anything from Izuky since this whole thing started," Harleen said looking a little worried for the green-haired boy before smiling at David. "But I'm sure Izuky can beat that pomeranian without a sweat. He did say he has a plan."
"Let's hope you're right," David said with an uncertain tone before he heard groaning noises from Mina and Kirishima. They turned and saw them stirring in their sleep as David walked towards them. "Come on, let's tie them up before they have the chance to wake up."
"Right behind ya!" Harleen cheered as she skipped alongside David and helped him tie them up to include their fight.
On a random rooftop, Izuku ducked under a blasted arm swing from Bakugo and parried him by blocking his grenade-like gauntlets with his sword and kicking him in the stomach, making the blonde boy stumbled backwards. Bakugo recovered quickly and tried to blast him with his Quirk, but Izuku jumps backwards and landed far away from his bully. They both stand there for a good second until the voice of All Might spoke out.
"Eijiro Kirishima and Mina Ashido have been captured!"
"What?" Bakugo spoke as he look up to the right side and scowled under his breath.
"What's the matter, Bakugo?" Izuku taunted him while twirling his sword, as Bakugo turns to him with a hateful look. "Are you worried your little 'sidekicks' being taken out by my teammates? Because from what I hear, you seem to be the only one left."
"Like I'm worried about those weaklings! If those extras lose to your pathetic sidekicks then they're just as useless as you!" Bakugo spat at him as he crouched down and swings his arms back. "I Don't need some weak ass sidekicks to murder you and you're pathetic little ragtag of weaklings. I'll kill all of you and win this on my own, and show all of you worthless extras why I'm the greatest!"
He blasts towards Izuku with great speed in hopes to catch him before his dodge, but Izuku Ready his sword and was ready to stick. Before Izuku has a chance to counterattack, Bakugo blasted himself from below and flew over the green-haired boy who watch him when he saw him ready to blast him from behind. Izuku used his arms to cover himself as Bakugo blasted him and sends him flying, making him lose his sword in the process before crashing on the floor and rolling back to his knees. Izuku looked at his scorched, armoured forearms and look at Bakugo who was walking towards him with his palms sparkling.
Izuku smirked as he reached for his flashbang grenades and took one out. "A few tricks left I see."
He pulled the pin from the grenade and chuck it into the air. And before Bakugo has a chance to react, the flashbang detonated and exploded into a large flash of light, temporarily blinding Bakugo as he covered his eyes and step back away from the flash of light. As the flash dies down and his vision was beginning to clear, he didn't notice Izuku jumped towards him and swing kicked him to the face. Bakugo spins backwards and nearly fell down as he regained his footing and hold the left side of his face where his victim just kick him.
Bakugo was panting like crazy as he snap his eyes at Izuku who was standing before him while taking his stance. The blonde boy growled in rage before blasting himself into the air and attempting to bomb him from above. Izuku rolled out of the way as the explosion was hit behind him. He runs towards the edge of the rooftop and jumps out of it while grabbing his grabbing gun. He aims his gun at the nearest building and fired the grabbing wire towards the edge, the holder was connected and Izuku swings down towards the streets before connecting to the road and skitted across.
He stops at the pathway while laying to his side and looked behind him to see Bakugo jumping from the rooftop and falling down the opposite side of the road, using his Quirk to stop himself and land safely to the ground. He glared at Izuku with a murderous expression as he walks towards him while his palms were popping in sparks.
Izuku scowled when he saw him walking towards him as he stands up from the floor and glared back at Bakugo. "Tell me something, Bakugo."
"What is there to talk about, Deku?" Bakugo growled.
"Did All Might say anything to you six years ago?" He asked him, wanting him to remember what happened back at the narrowed pathway. "Were you surprised by what he said?"
Bakugo blinked in surprise as he stopped walking, wanting to know how a weakling like him know about the conversation between him and All Might. He then scowled and glared at him. "I don't know what you talking about."
"What did All Might promise you? Money? Popularity? Power?" Izuku asked him again, but with a strong taste of venom from the last part of the question.
Bakugo eyes hardened by his last statement, knowing what he meant when he said that word. But it doesn't really bother him since he's promised to be given great power by the Symbol of Peace and scoffed arrogantly at him. "What kind of question is that? Those are what it takes to become the Number One Hero."
Izuku narrowed his eyes at him "You're not going to tell me you wanted to become a hero to protect people, are you?"
Bakugo was silent a moment before giving off his honest answer. "Some of us believes beating up villains is the best way to become a hero."
"Sorry, but I don't see any 'heroism' here." Izuku scoffed. "All I see is a prideful psycho who latches on the excuse to hurt people. And who's SO STUPID, he has no idea All Might no longer choose him as the next holder of One For All because he found out who he truly is... A Villain."
Bakugo was shocked beyond words. Not because he's calling him a villain and a psychopath, but because his idol, the Number One Hero, no longer chooses him as his successor because he knows the truth. His facial expression was changing as he's panting his rage and growled in a new level of hatred as he glared at Izuku, The boy who is weaker than him, the boy who is a parasite to this world, and the boy who took away power that was rightfully his.
"You... you damn worthless bastard... You told All Might, didn't you! You convinced him to not give me the power that I was PROMISED!" He yelled at Izuku who was preparing himself while ready to draw out his other sword from his back. Instead of charging straight at him, he raised his right gauntlet towards the green-haired teen. "Since you took away what was mine, I'll take away what's your's... Your life."
Izuku was tense when he saw his gauntlets aiming towards him as Bakugo started to brag. "You already know about my Quirk, don't you, Deku. I can produce a unique type of sweat that works like nitroglycerin, which able me to fire off larger explosions from the palm of my hands. But with my gauntlets, I can fill up enough sweat to create an even bigger explosion by pulling this pin." The large pin shifted and the smaller pin appeared, as Bakugo placed his pointy finger on it to pull out. "You won't be able to dodge this attack, and once you're nothing but a rotten corpse, your pathetic little extras will follow the same fate." He then smirked evilly. "And then, I'll go after that Pink Cheek extra, and I'll be sure to personally teach her why Heroes shouldn't care about helping the weak. And why strength and power are the only things that matter in this world."
Inside the Monitor Room, All Might was standing there with fear in his eyes, already heard what Bakugo just said to him and he can't just let this slide. "No! He taking it too far now. I have to stop this!" He brings the mike out to his mouth and desperately calls out to him with fear and worry in his voice. "Young Bakugo! Don't do it! You'll kill him!"
"Shut the fuck up, old man! This filthy Parasite is going to pay for taking what is rightfully mine!" Bakugo shouts back at All Might before setting his eyes at Izuku, his evil smile widened as he's about to pull a pin. "Now Deku, time for you to di-"
he didn't get to finish his sentence when a vapour trail hits his gauntlet and force him to aim at the road and accidentally pulled the pin. In a matter of seconds, the stream of large flaming explosions was out and damaged through the empty street of over several meters. Bakugo was standing there in shock when his plans of killing Deku where he stands have failed while Izuku was surprised but later turns to the direction where the shot was originated.
Knowing who took a shot and saved his life, he smiled gratefully under his mask and place his fingers over his ear. "Thanks for the big save, Floyd. I owe you one."
Distance away from the explosion, Floyd was laying on his front on the top of the rooftop looking over the incident through his scope. Floyd chuckled as he pick himself up and put his fingers to her side of his mask. "Don't mention it, Izuku. Now beat that asshole and win this match."
Bakugo was standing there for a couple of seconds until he got rid of his shock and turns his direction at the far distance across the streets, knowing who shoot the gauntlet and ruin his glory. "That Quirkless weakling ruined my chance to destroy my greatest obstacle. No matter, I'll deal with him and others in this city after I kill-"
His thoughts were cut off as the grabble wire connected to his metal collars, pulled him towards Izuku who's holding the grappling gun and before he could react, Izuku swings his arm at Bakugo, backflipping him to the ground. Bakugo quickly got up to his knees and attempted to blast him, but Izuku kicked his hand away and back-swing kick only for him to block it, but couldn't block the other kick as he spins and kicked him hard to the face.
Bakugo was sent to the floor and laid on his back, groaning in pain as his head started to feel all fuzzy and blurry. He's slowly starting to get up, refusing to lose to the Quirkless weakling like Deku, but he was sent back down when Izuku placed his boots down on his chest. He tried to blast him away using his Quirk, but he was too weak as Izuku swatted them away and grab the collar of his vest. He pulls Bakugo up towards him, reeling back his clenched fist and punching him square to the face. His rear head contacted the floor and within an instant, he fell unconscious due to the massive force to the head both front and back.
Izuku panted a little as he looks down at his now unconscious bully. "Take a good nap, Kacchan."
(The Monitor Room)
(The Suicide Squad OST: The Squad Turn Back. Starts Playing.)
Everyone in the Monitor Room watches with amazement as they saw Izuku roll Bakugo to his front and grab the capture tape from his pocket. He tied his hands up before dragging him to the nearest wall and putting him in the sitting position while still unconscious.
All Might watch on not just amazement but relieved that his stepson was safe and sound. He was so proud of him for defeating his opponent and standing up to his long-time bully, along with thanking young Lawton for saving him from what is about to be inevitable death. He let out a proud, farther-like smile as he took the mic out and announce to the whole group.
"Katsuki Bakugo has been captured! Task Force X of the villain team... WINS!"
"He did it... Deku and the others won!" Ochaco cheered with her fist up in the air, so happy that Deku and his friends won. She was scared straight when All Might said Bakugo was going to kill him, fearing that Bakugo would actually do it. However, her worries quickly vanish when the shot from Lawton hit the bully's gauntlet and save Izuku's life. She cannot express how thankful she was to Lawton for saving Duku's life, as she was glad he got out of that dangerous predicament with the sharpshooter's help.
"Yeah! Jason and the others thought passionately!" Inasa exclaimed enthusiastically copying what Ochaco was doing. He watches Jason help Momo up and bring down Mineta who was hanging upside down throughout the whole match.
"I do have to admit, Task Force X are strong," Todoroki said while looking at one of the screens with Chato and Digger helping Iida up and started head towards where they're first got here. He was a little disappointed that Santana was not in most of the screening, but he's not going to let that get to him as he saw well enough to know what he can do.
"Yeah. It's good to know they are on our side." Sero nodded in agreement as he watches the rest walking back to the starting point.
Rick smiled proudly along with two of his fellow teaching assistants. "We trained them well, didn't we?"
Peacemaker chuckled amusingly and nodded in agreement. "I bet the Pro-Heroes are not gonna be happy when they saw this, especially that Eraser-Dick."
"That I can agree with." Bloodsport nodded as he watch Floyd walking up to Izuku and they seems to be talking to one another. He then looks down and sighs. "But I have a feeling he's going to make some poor excuses to try and put the blame on these kids."
"Oh boy, can't wait to hear it." Peacemaker tiredly sighs, looking forward(Not) to hear what the Homeroom Teacher have to say.
All Might watch the same screen Bloodsport was looking at as he saw Izuku and Lawton talking to one another before grasping each other's hands in a sign of gratitude and friendship. He saw what Izuku and Task Force X are capable of, and no doubt that the longer they stay here, they will one day become the most outstanding team the world has ever seen, even if they are a government task force. Half of them may be Quirkless, but they already prove themselves that they can become something more, something far greater than what they once were, and he'll be sure to guide them all the way, even if he one day retired.
Then, just before he could do anything else, his phone rang as he pick it up and see who was calling him. He was surprised that it was the Principle himself and quickly answered the phone and held it to his ear. "Ah! Principle Nezu, sir. To what do I owe the pleasure?"
[I came to call you to talk about our new students' victory.] Nezu replied from the other end of the phone. [I saw the footage of the match between Class 1-A and Task Force X with Amanda Waller and we have to say, we are very proud to see them helping out the opposing teams from their losses.]
"I share the same sentiment, Principle Nezu." All Might nodded before his face changed into a frown. "However, now that you called, I wish to discuss with you about young Bakugo and his actions against his fellow classmate."
[Yes, I have seen the footage of it and what he said to young Midoriya. It's also the main reason why I called you] Nezu said gaining All Might's attention as he perked up at the Principle's reason. [When Bakugo recovers from his injuries, please tell him to come to the principal's office immediately. Me and Amanda Waller will want to have a word with him. And bring the teacher assistants here too.]
(The Suicide Squad OST: The Squad Turn Back. Stops Playing.)
A.N: Finally, the chapter is now done. Never really thought it will be this long when I started this chapter. Now that the Squad took down half of the Class 1-A, along with Bakugo being taken to the Principal's office after his recovery, what's going to happen next?
I wanted to say sorry for taking me this long to finish this chapter. A lot of things happened last year such as having my old laptop break down and I can't get a new one until Christmas, lots of college work, and I got distracted with other story projects that I'm working on. Hopefully, things are now back on track and I do hope I don't write something as long as this until further in the story. I swear, writing a big chapter like this has put a big strain on my head, and I do hope that I got all of it down the best I can since my writing is not always great. I have autism and I tend to get stressed out when I'm overpressured or overthinking things, especially when I'm writing stuff. Not really important but I just want you to know.
I'm sure all of you notice the costumes some of the Squads are wearing, mostly Nanaue, Chato, Waylon and Izuku. I wanted to have Chato wearing that tribal-like armour from when he turns into that giant flaming skeleton in the 2016 Suicide Squad. I wanted to have some mixed appearances like Nanaue and Waylon, with the former wearing the clothes from the upcoming Suicide Squad game and the latter having comic accurate accessories like the bandages and the jeans. As for Izuku, I wanted him to have mixed appearances of Deathstroke for his training and inspiration and the appearance of the Arkham Knight from the Batman Arkham series for his own iteration of his suit.
Now I know some of you are disappointed that Ochaco and Inasa or any strong students are not part of the hero team and I do apologise for that, but I do have reasons why. From what I know in the early day of My hero Academia, Ochaco is inexperienced when it comes to hand to hand combat and if she's put into the hero team, there's a high chance she's be taking out. As much I would love to have Ochaco in it, I think it wouldn't be a good idea to have her fighting against the Squad with no combat training and I planned to give her the proper training she deserves in the coming chapters. As for Inasa, I thought it would be a little bit overkill since his Quirk is too powerful for the Squad to handle despite what the group is all about. Don't worry, I'm not leaving him out because I'm saving him for one certain arc that's coming very soon, along with a few other surprises.
Oh, and don't worry about missing out on the fight between Waylon and Tsuyu, all of it will be revealed in the next chapter.
And again, I do apologise that Izuku and Ochaco didn't have there enough time together and their moment was small. I'm not just focusing on IzuOcha(One of my all-time favourite pairings) all the time, I'm planning on having multiple pairings between the Squad and students of U.A High. You have already seen some hints and teases during the match, and it won't stop there.
And as for Bakugo, what do you think is going to happen to him when he's going to the principal's office to have a chat with Nezu and Amander Waller. Is he going to have a second chance in the Hero-Course, will he be sent to the General Studies for his cruel behaviour, or is he going to get expelled for attempting murder? Let me know what you think the answer is and I will give out the reveal of what his fate will be.
So, if you like this chapter so far, feel free to fav and/or follow. Leave the review to tell me what you think and what I need to improve on in the future.
Until then, see you all in the next chapter!
