Meanwhile with Bakugo and his friends...
Bakugo's eyes widened in shock, but also didn't know what to think in the moment. He just stared at these two akumatized villains, but didn't think he'd ever come across his own parents. Something about it got him riled up and couldn't stop thinking about Chrysalis. He knew that she planned this, he didn't know how, but she did. He clenched his fists pretty tight as they walked up to him, feeling really annoyed that they would even let this happen to them.
Bakugo's parents looked at him like they weren't impressed. If anything, his mom looked like she was annoyed with him. She even had that look on her face that basically confirmed that it was her. His dad however didn't to stand out as much as her. She picked up a grenade from her belt and looked back at her son.
"What do you think we're here for, Katsuki?" She asked as she tossed it around like it was a ball, "I know you can't be this dumb, or has hero training messed with you a lot in the head?"
Bakugo gritted his teeth, and she looked like she was waiting for something. He knew what it was, but hoped that things would be easier than it seemed to stop them.
Everyone was shocked to see Jirou's parents, but something about seeing Bakugo's gave them an uneasy feeling. Even Ladybug and her teammates were a little thrown off by this.
"Old hag... You need to leave, now!" Bakugo growled out, "You know that this won't go well. Your quirks are not as strong as mine. Also, you're outnumbered."
Ladybug's teammates and Class 1-A all stepped up to help out Bakugo. They could tell that they might not be as easy as Jirou's parents. Something about them just seemed more intimidating.
Then his mom gave him a smirk that made him flinch. She stopped throwing the grenade and held onto it like she was planning on throwing it.
"You must realize that things are different now," She said to him, "You may be stronger, but we're still prepared to take those Miraculous. Also, you can call us Hand Grenade and Ground Zero."
Everyone that went to Paris turned to Bakugo and remembered his akumatized villain being named Ground Zero. Something about it really bothered him.
"Are you seriously trying to make me mad or something?!" Bakugo cried out with bulging veins.
"Kacchan..." Midoriya said under his breath, "We can't get them riled up. We don't want them going after the Miraculous."
Hand Grenade looked at Midoriya and spotted his Miraculous around his belt. She didn't see Ladybug and Cat Noir anywhere, but then narrowed in on Midoriya.
"Hey Izuku. It's been a while, hasn't it?" Bakugo's mom said to Midoriya with a much more kinder tone.
Midoriya felt a little uncomfortable talking to her in this sort of situation, but tried to go with it.
"H-Hi, Aunti Mitsuki... I-I'm okay," Midoriya said back as he scratched the back of his head.
"I hope my Katsuki isn't bothering you too much lately. I know that he can be a bit of a handful sometimes," Hand Grenade said to him.
Bakugo looked really annoyed and frustrated at his mom, but Midoriya tried to hold him back.
"Come on Kacchan! We need to be careful with your parents!" Midoriya told him, "We don't want them to get riled up!"
The moment Midoriya looked away, Hand Grenade locked onto his Miraculous. For a split second, she threw her grenade right towards their classmates and friends. Midoriya didn't have time to react, and the grenade went off right behind him and Bakugo. He ended up on the ground from Bakugo pushing him down. Midoriya still felt the impact from the explosion, and his ears were ringing. Bakugo was trying to tell him something, but he couldn't hear him.
Before he could do anything, Hand Grenade ran over to Midoriya and Bakugo to take Midoriya's Miraculous.
Midoriya's eyes widened in shock as she gripped onto it, but Bakugo let off an explosion right in her path. Right as he did, Ground Zero rubbed his hands together and let off an explosion much stronger than usual. Bakugo's eyes widened in shock and had to carry Midoriya out of the way.
"You've gotta get out of here, Deku!" Bakugo growled out, "The old hag and old man are a lot stronger than usual. Chrysalis is clearly behind this!"
Before he could get away, Bakugo felt Hand Grenade grab his ankle and pulled him back towards them. Bakugo tried to use his explosions to stop her, but he was carrying Midoriya which made things awkward. He felt her pull both of them towards the ground, causing Midoriya to tumble out of his arms. He went to get up, but noticed that he was getting dizzy from the explosions. His ears were still ringing, and his head was pounding.
The moment he went to get up, Hand Grenade stomped over to him. Midoriya felt her pull him up, which threw him off. He knew her pretty well and knew that she would never do this to him. She was usually very nice to him and very apologetic because of Bakugo's actions.
Bakugo was fighting against Ground Zero and kept trying to reach out to Midoriya. His dad wasn't usually this strong, so it threw him off a little.
Right before Midoriya could do anything, Hand Grenade took his Miraculous right in front of him. His eyes widened in shock as he detransformed into his regular hero costume.
"Sorry Izuku, but we need this. Maybe you'll understand sometime soon."
"Old hag! Get your hands off of that!" Bakugo cried out as he fought off Ground Zero.
Midoriya tried to take it from her by activating One for All, but it wasn't as strong as usual without Ladybug and Cat Noir around. He noticed that they ran off to help Kirishima, but never came back. They had to be around here somewhere, but Midoriya really needed his Miraculous back. His eyes locked onto it and felt something come over him. Something that he hadn't felt in a long time.
"Sorry Katsuki, but we need this," Hand Grenade said to him, "I would've preferred Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous, but this'll do for now."
Midoriya felt her grip loosen, and he fell to the ground. His legs were aching from all of the fights he had, so he had trouble getting up. His classmates were in the middle of trying to shake off that explosion from earlier. Iida was helping up Melissa and made sure that she was okay. He noticed Hand Grenade carrying Midoriya's Miraculous and ran for it. She didn't see him coming, but she ended up tossing a grenade his way. He tried to dodge it, but he still got hit by it from the impact.
"Iida!" Midoriya cried out, even if he couldn't hear very well at the moment.
Midoriya's head was pounding at this point, but he kept his eyes on his Miraculous. She held it tightly in her hand, and all Midoriya could think about was Chrysalis finally getting her hands on it again. Something about it made Midoriya worry about Lila even more and clenched his fists. He knew that his Miraculous wasn't helping her, and he had to keep her away from it.
"Midoriya... What're you doing?! Get away from her!" Iida cried back as he tried to get up.
Midoriya looked up at Iida, and he could tell that he wasn't going anywhere. His eyes didn't look away as he as turned to Hand Grenade. Bakugo fought off Ground Zero, but couldn't shake him off. Midoriya tried to get up, but Hand Grenade grabbed another grenade from her belt.
"Aunti Mitsuki... You can't have my Miraculous..." Midoriya growled out as he got up, "I don't why you're after it, but I can assure you that going after mine, Ladybug or Cat Noir's... It's not worth it. You won't get what you want. Whatever it is, Chrysalis isn't planning on giving you anything."
Hand Grenade didn't say anything as she stood there with a look on her face that was hard to read. Midoriya couldn't tell what she was thinking and almost launched right at his Miraculous. She gripped onto it, and then heard Bakugo yelling at his dad as he let off some explosions. That caught her eye, and her grip got even tighter around her fist. Midoriya's eyes widened in shock to see her getting ready to toss the grenade at her son.
Midoriya without thinking launched at her before she could throw it, but he was too late. Bakugo didn't see it coming, and Ground Zero got out of the way. He got confused, but then Midoriya screamed out to get his attention.
"Kacchan! Get out of the way!"
Bakugo's eyes locked onto the grenade, and Midoriya's eyes widened as the explosion went off. All of their classmates cried out for him, but no one could hear them screaming. Midoriya spotted Hand Grenade smiling at Bakugo, and Midoriya noticed something familiar about her smile.
It looked like Chrysalis's.
Earlier with Todoroki and his friends...
Todoroki stood there in Class 1-A's dormitory, feeling frozen in place. Not because it was freezing in there, but because his older siblings were standing right in front of him.
They were both akumatized.
Fuyumi held onto Ashido's arms and kept freezing her in place. She couldn't move as the ice kept crawling and growing all around her. Ladybug and Cat Noir didn't know what to do after finding out who they were, and he couldn't blame them. Even Uraraka was shocked to see Ashido stuck like this. AllMight, Zoe and Gabriel were frozen to the floor, but clearly AllMight wanted to help her out. He couldn't just stand there and do nothing, but he also didn't want to hurt Ashido.
Todoroki felt his fists clenching in anger as Ashido kept freezing up.
"Shouto, I didn't think you'd show up. We only wanted Ladybug and Cat Noir," Crystal said to him, "Then again, I don't mind seeing you after what's happened recently."
Todoroki could tell that she was talking about him and his classmates being stuck in Paris. He really needed to get Ashido away from them, that's all he cared about as the ice spread down her chest. He looked at Kirishima, and he could tell that he really wanted to help her. His eyes were not leaving her side as he got ready to take her back.
Frost got ready to take Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous, but they weren't backing down any time soon.
"Come on Crystal. Let's just take their Miraculous and get out of here!" Frost cried out, "Oh, and thank you Kirishima. You saved us the trouble of finding these two. We couldn't have done it without you."
Ladybug and Cat Noir's eyes widened in shock and whipped around to Kirishima. He looked about ready to collapse from this reveal. Even Todoroki and Uraraka looked a bit thrown off and realized that he did drag them into this. Then Uraraka looked at Ashido and knew that he did this all for her. He couldn't do anything to stop them, so he had to bring them here.
"Eijiro... You did this?" Cat Noir pointed out.
"I-I di-didn't mean to!" Kirishima said back in defense, "I had to! Ashido, she needed help!"
"You couldn't handle them yourself?! I thought you were strong enough to handle this sort of thing! You went up against Shouto back in Paris!" Cat Noir cried back.
"This is different! I couldn't just leave Ashido like this!" Kirishima cried out, "She needed my help! If I had done anything, I would've made things worse!"
Todoroki was about to step in to stop them from fighting, but Uraraka beat him to it. She stepped in between them and got ready to fight off Frost and Crystal.
"Stop it you two! This isn't going to help Ashido," Uraraka said to them, "We need to focus on getting Ashido back. It doesn't matter if Kirishima did this or not, he needed help. He would never do something like this unless someone needed his help."
Kirishima looked at her like he was so happy to have her here. Cat Noir seemed to relax a bit and went back to helping out Ashido. Todoroki didn't know what to do other than use his fire side to heat things up. Once his flames came up, Frost stood his ground and blocked their way to Ashido.
"If you want your friend back, you've gotta get through me!" Frost growled out as he got ready to fight.
"Natsuo..." Todoroki growled out as he felt his flames heat himself up, "Why are you doing this? Is it because of Endeavor? That's the only reason that I can think of. Why else would you be after Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous?"
Todoroki had his flames at the ready, but Crystal didn't step away from Ashido. She didn't even take her hands off of her as she kept freezing her, making her eyes widen even more. Kirishima was about to go after her, but Uraraka stopped him from doing so. Ladybug and Cat Noir stood there and got ready as they held their yo-yo and baton.
Frost didn't say anything for a moment as he stood up to Todoroki. He let his flames get bigger, making it less frigid in the dormitory. Ice and the freezing cold mist was already melting a little, but Frost activated his ice quirk. He had his ice keep things from melting, and Todoroki could feel it make his flames less intense. Before he had the chance to do so, Frost launched at him with his ice quirk activated. Todoroki held his fists as he tried to push him away, but his ice quirk just made things much worse. It spread to his fists and felt it freezing him just like Ashido.
The ice wasn't letting up, and Todoroki tried to keep up with it. Somehow, Todoroki felt his ice side trying to fight back, but it couldn't seem to stop Frost. Even his flames were not as strong as Frost's ice quirk, which made Todoroki a little bit thrown off by how strong he was. His quirk was never this strong, so he knew that Chrysalis did this to him. He pushed his flames to get stronger and more powerful, which made Frost stumble a little.
"Come on Shouto! You know you want those Miraculous too?! You really think this is about our father?!" Frost cried out.
Todoroki's eyes widened and felt him hesitate. Frost took advantage of that and fought back with his ice quirk, making Todoroki's hands frozen in his hands. He could feel his breath get icy cold, but he kept pushing his fire side to melt it off of his other arm. For some reason, it took him a bit of energy to get out of his icy grip. Something about it was stronger than his usual quirk, and he tried to use his flames to melt it off of him.
Ladybug and Cat Noir got ready to go after Ashido, but Uraraka noticed that Crystal was not going anywhere. She locked onto them and focused in on their Miraculous. They all knew that she wouldn't do anything unless Frost told her to. She couldn't let go of Ashido, so they had the upper hand. Kirishima didn't know how to go about this, but really didn't like where this was heading.
"Alright guys! Here's what we should do," Ladybug said to them as she explained the plan.
Uraraka was a little nervous since she had to do with it, and her temporary Miraculous. She gripped onto the flute, ready to help out Ashido. She nodded, and they all got ready. Ladybug and Cat Noir spread out with Cat Noir staying behind for now. Uraraka held her flute at the ready and felt a little nervous. Kirishima slowly made his way towards Ashido, and Crystal noticed that they were circling around her.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Crystal said to them as she kept spreading the ice around Ashido, "You don't want her to end up with frostbite, do you? Her poor quirk doesn't help things either."
Kirishima stayed where he was, getting ready to go after her. Ladybug got a little closer and looked at Uraraka to get ready. Ladybug grabbed her yo-yo and threw it up in the air.
"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug cried out.
Suddenly, a pair of heated gloves fell into her hand. She looked around and knew what to do. Uraraka got ready and held her flute rather tightly.
Uraraka pictured what she wanted to appear and played the flute to activate her power. She opened her eyes and slammed it down onto the floor.
"Mirage!" Uraraka cried out.
Suddenly, Crystal's eyes widened in shock to see someone that she didn't expect to appear out of no where. Even Frost seemed to hesitate to fight Todoroki when he saw him. Something about him made Frost even angrier, and his ice got stronger. She froze in place and even felt her hands shaking to see him.
"Father..." Chrystal said under her breath, "W-Where did you come from...?"
"You two..." Endeavor growled out as he looked at both Crystal and Frost.
Uraraka's mirage didn't have to do much to throw them off as Endeavor stood there looking pretty menacing. Even Ladybug and Cat Noir were surprised to finally see Todoroki's father and the current number one hero.
Todoroki took advantage of this situation and boosted up his flames to get his older brother away from him. That seemed to help him gain the upper hand and felt the ice melt off of his hands. He gritted his teeth, feeling really frustrated with him.
"Natsuo, what're are you doing?!" Todoroki cried out, "You need to stop this!"
"No way! We can't stop now! Now that there's something like Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous around!" Frost cried out.
Frost didn't say anything as he kept pushing him away with his icy quirk. Todoroki didn't dare hesitate or step away as he kept his flames lit and activated. He noticed that Frost's quirk wasn't as strong as before, and Todoroki noticed that he was sweating from his flames. He kept pushing him and his flames as he got the ice to melt off of him all the way.
Kirishima spotted Crystal's grip loosen and hesitate and took this moment to go after her. He ran at her, throwing her off completely. He hardened his arm and got her to jump away from Ashido. She tried to grab onto Kirshima's arm, but he dodged her and went after Ashido. She was still frozen and couldn't move, but the ice stopped spreading around her. Chrystal wasn't letting up however and shot ice at him. He hardened his whole body and knocked the ice out of the air. It crumbled to pieces as he kept chopping away at them.
"I'm not letting you hurt Ashido!" Kirishima cried out, "You will stay away from her!"
Ladybug stepped in and went after the akumatized object. Chrystal didn't expect her to be so strong, but she tried to push back. Ladybug grabbed her fists and activated One for All. The heated gloves barely helped, but it was enough to grab her visor off of her face. She threw it over to Cat Noir, and he quickly destroyed it with his cataclysm.
The akuma finally flew out of the visor. One down, one to go.
Another amazing chapter!
This is a good one! I really like where Bakugo's part of the story is going! I love how Chrysalis is using these akumas to get back at him! It just made sense that she would do things like this and knew that it would piss him off! It's so funny, but I really like how it turned out! Midoriya and Bakugo working together is also a big win for me! Also, Todoroki's part of the story is a way to bring him into this a little more. I know it's late, but I always perferred Bakugo, Midoriya and Uraraka. I still love Todoroki, but I do think there were other things I wanted to do that were more important to the story!
What's going to happen next??
More to come soon!
