Ch 12: Can't think of a name for this chapter.
The fourth battle was about to begin, Kirishima and Bakugou stood outside the building and were about to head inside.
Kirishima turned to Bakugou and watched her stretch, Bakugou had explained that her quirk relied on how much sweat she produced so she was already getting warmed up for the fight, which Kirishima thought was really manly!
She turned her quirk on and off a couple times to test her hero costume, her skin hardening and turning into a rock like structure. Once she was satisfied she walked up to Bakugou and asked, “Hey Bakubro, you got a stratigie for the match or are we just rushing in guns blazing?”
Bakugou stopped stretching and looked at Kirishima, she seemed to think about it for a while before coming to a decision, “I think we should make a plan, and maybe a back-up plan incase the first one goes wrong. You said your quirk could harden your skin right?” Kirishima nodded. “Good, I looked at the map and I found the fastest way to every staircase, the ‘Villains’ are probably keeping the bomb on the center room on the top floor. You take point, once we find the other team you move out of the way and I attack them. Is that alright with you?”
Kirishima nodded, finding the plan logical, “Yeah, it makes sense, but what is our back-up plan?”
Bakugou looked down and thought for a bit before she came up with a plan, “Split up, if we split up it would force the other team to do the same, Ponytail is smart, if we split up we might make whatever plan she has fall apart.” Bakugou said, nodding to herself.
Kirishima thought about it as well, and while she thought splitting up was not really manly, she knew that it could win them the match.
All Might gave the signal and they moved in, the ground floor was empty and they found nothing. It was the next floor where the trouble started, Bakugou was pointing her in the right direction but when they turned the corner Kirishima felt something on her boots. She looked down and saw a thin wire, her eyes went wide and she looked around, from the ceiling a small device fell down. Kirishima turned around and tackled Bakugou to the ground as the device went off. The device let out a bright flash and a loud bang, disorienting them for a few seconds.
They groaned and sat up, Kirishima turned to Bakugou and gave her a confused look. Bakugou stood up and walked to where the device went off, she knelt down and looked at the remains. She frowned and stood back up, she turned to Kirishima and explained, “Flashbang, Ponytail probably rigged the place with traps. From here on out watch your step, this was only the first trap. The next ones might be worse.” With that she walked further down the hallway, Kirishima quickly running after her before catching up to her.
Along the way Bakugou found a broken pipe which she gave to Kirishima, she held it close to the ground so she could find other wires, they found 2 more and stepped over them.
They reached the stairs but when Kirishima stepped on it the heard a click, their eyes met and they both ducked away as a small explosive blew up the bottom of the staircase. It cracked and proceeded to collapse, they turned to each other and Kirishima asked, “Are there any other stairs up?”
Bakugou thought for a second and nodded before frowning, “Yeah, but it’s on the other side of the building. It would take a while to get there, plus if they trapped this one then they might have trapped the other one as well. And if they didn’t, they might be waiting for us at those stairs. We must find another way.” She looked around, looking for a solution. Her eyes lit up a bit a she found a janitor closet, she ran up to and pulled it open, inside she found what she was hoping for. Kirishima followed her and found her pulling a ladder out of the closet, she set it up against the wall and climbed up, she held out her hand for Bakugou to help her climb up but Bakugou stepped back .
Kirishima looked at her and frowned before asking, “Why are you not coming up? Should we not go up together?”
Bakugou shook her head and explained, “No, right now they are probably waiting for us at the other stairway. I think we should split up, if one of us climbs up this way and another goes to the other one then they will have to divide their attention. You use this way up and I will run to the other one, I will tell you how many of them are there. You run to the center room on the highest floor and get the bomb.” Kirishima was about to argue but Bakugou held up her hand, “Don’t try, just go!” With that she took off, using her explosion to go faster and reach the stairs.
What they did not see was a drone outside the window, a camara attached to the bottom of it.
-Pov change: Yoayorozu Momo-
Momo looked at the live footage from her drone on her phone screen, she made it during the prep. Once she heard the starting signal she launched the drone from inside the room and followed her opponents. She saw them reach the stairs and hoped that they would try to use the other one, using more time and falling for another trap as Aoyama was waiting to blast them at the top of those stairs.
Only for that plan to fall apart, while she used her traps in the building to buy time this time it seemed that they were not going the way she expected them to go. She watched as Bakugou and Kirishima split up and she turned on her comm to warn Aoyama, “Aoyama, Kirishima used the trapped stairs to get up, and Bakugou is heading to your stairway. They are splitting up, you deal with Bakugou, I will take care of Kirishima.”
It took a second but Aoyama answered, “Understood, Madam. I will take down these Heroes in a dazzling fashion.” She heard Aoyama reply, in her mind she could see her throwing glitter around, like she did in the dorm a few times.
Momo turned of her comm and started thinking, she did put a few traps on the way to the stairs to this floor but it was only 2 of them. She activated her quirk and prepared a few items, a bo-staff, a helmet specially made to block out bright lights and a few flashbangs. She hooked the flashbangs to her belt and put on the helmet, she grabbed the bo-staff and spun it a few times. She grabbed her phone and looked at the footage and watched as Kirishima smashed through her final trap, a small mine meant to at least knock someone back. But Kirishima stormed through and reached the stairs.
Momo took a deep breath and prepared as she started to hear explosions in another part of the building. Bakugou and Aoyama have started their fight, she thought.
She heard footsteps and the door was thrown open and Kirishima ran into the room. She spotted Momo and stopped in her tracks. She looked at the staff and took a fighting stance, Momo doing the same. In the back of her mind she hoped Aoyama was doing okay.
-Pov change: Bakugou Katsumi-
Katsumi grabbed the railing of the stairs and used it the steer herself up, she launched up and blasted to the next floor. She reached the top and before she knew it a blast of light came towards her, she propelled herself to the left and dodged the blast. At the end of the hallway stood Aoyama, or as Bakugou called her in her mind, Frenchie. She fired another laser at her and Bakugou took off towards her. She dodged the laser and reached Frenchie before she could fire again.
She pulled back her right arm and punched with a right hook, like she always does. Frenchie barely had time to dodge and was punched back.
Bakugou laughed, adrenaline getting to her, “Really Frenchie? You think you can stop me? Just give up I will spare you the pain.” She said, while she may have mellowed out over the years she was still Bakugou Katsumi and right now after watching all the other fights she was craving for one herself.
Frenchie looked really confused at the name before she launched another laser at her. Bakugou countered with an explosion to test if she could stop them, but the laser cut through the explosion and she jumped to the side. The laser hit the wall behind her and made a hole in it, Frenchie smirked and said, “Surrender? I will not surrender to a Hero, Poméranien.” Bakugou looked at her in confusion and Aoyama broke character and explained, “You know, those dogs with the puffy fur, like your hair.”
Bakugou looked like a crashed computer for a second before she rebooted, and with rebooted she meant exploded. Her face turned red and she blasted up and attacked Aoyama from above, letting out a war cry along the way.
Aoyama’s face turned white and she jumped back, she fired a few lasers but Bakugou dodged them all. She ran until she reached a dead hand, she turned around and saw Bakugou stalking up to her with her eyes being covered by the shadow of her hair.
Bakugou gritted out, “What did you just call me.”
Aoyama started shaking and looked for a way out but found nothing. She decided to use her last resort she charged up her laser, something she did not do very often since of charged up enough it could destroy a bus completely.
Bakugou pulled a pin out of her gauntlets and said, “You know Frenchie, since this is only an exercise I will tell you this. My quirk allows my sweat to be ignited using nitroglycerin. And with these gauntlets I can store my sweat and use it later for a big explosion. Now let’s see if those lasers of yours can match this.” She aimed her gauntlet at Aoyama and Aoyama charged her quirk to the max. Bakugou heard her comm turn on and All Might start to say something but it was to late.
They both fired and a flash of light happened before the building started shaking.
-Pov change Kirishima Eiko-
Eiko blocked the attack from Momo and pushed her back, before she could counter an explosion occurred and the building shook.
Eiko put her hand to her comm and screamed into it, “BAKUBRO, WHAT IS GOING ON OUT THERE?!?”
She could vaguely hear Momo doing the same thing before the voice of All Might came through the comm, “Don’t worry students, Young Bakugou and Young Aoyama might have gotten a bit to worked up. Every thing is fine, I have already sent Young Midoriya to get them as they are both knocked out.”
Kirishima tried to get more answers but before she could speak she got hit with Momo’s staff on the side of the head. She staggered back holding her head, having dropped her quirk as to not damage the comm. She saw Momo run up to her and the Staff come down again. She side stepped the attack and threw a punch at Momo’s ribs, Momo doubled over and collapsed holding her side. Kirishima took that chance and ran to the bomb and touched it, ending the match.
All Might announced, “The bomb has been captured, the Hero team wins!”
Kirishima sighed and sat down, after a few seconds she saw Momo get up and she got up as well and ran over to her, she held out her hand and asked, “You need a hand getting out of here?”
Momo nodded and took her hand, Kirishima put Momo’s arm over her shoulder and carried her out.
On the way out they came a cross a strange sight, Midoriya carrying their respective teammates Firemen style. They looked behind him and saw a large hole in the wall and the floor and ceiling missing, scorch marks everywhere. It looked like a bomb went off. They both sweat dropped and thought, ‘Did they get a bit worked up or did they start a war?’
Izuku smiled at them and told them to follow him out, they followed him to the nurse’s office were RG looked up and sighed again. Kirishima sat down on the bed and Izuku left to go back to class. RG healed her and before she went to her other classmates Kirishima swore she heard her say something along the lines of, “not getting paid enough for this” and “stupid, reckless teenagers, with no survival instinct’ she pretended not to hear.
A few minutes later the other 2 woke up. Bakugou groaned and sat up, “Did someone get the license plate of the truck that hit me?”
Kirishima chuckled and Bakugou turned to her, her eyes slowly widened as the memories of the fight came back to her.
Bakugou put her head in her hands and groaned, “Did we at least win?” She asked Kirishima.
“Yep, I knocked down Yoayorozu and rushed to the bomb when she was getting up. Midoriya carried you 2 here after he got you out of the building. What happened anyway, it looked like a bomb went off in that hallway.”
Bakugou looked down and chuckled before answering cryptically, “Well, that is kind of what happened.”
Kirishima tried to ask more but RG came in and told them to head back to class as she gave them a clean bill of health.
They left the infirmary and headed back to the observation room, when they arrived they caught the tail end of Aizawa’s advice to the last group, “And Tokoyami, get better at controlling Dark Shadow, we can’t have you attacking your teammates in the future.” Tokoyami nodded and the last group sat down. Aizawa-Sensei turned to them and pointed to where the other group just stood, All Might was about to speak but Aizawa interrupted, “Now, while a lot in your match went well there are a lit of things we need to discuss. First off, Yoayorozu, while your plan was good you need to work on your weapon fighting, you were easy to predict. Kirishima, focus on the fight, you got distracted and that almost lost you the match. And Aoyama and Bakugou,” she glared at the 2 students whose shoulders shook a bit in fear as they looked down, “you two need to work on holding back and controlling yourself. Especially you, Bakugou, Villains will insult you to get under your skin, if you get mad at every insult thrown at you it could endanger lives.” Aizawa said and Bakugou looked down sadly.
Aizawa was about to say more but All Might put a hand on her shoulder, Aizawa looked at her and All Might pointed at her watch and Aizawa frowned but nodded, All Might looked at the class and said, “I’m sorry students, but it seems that class is almost over. So head to the showers and go change, I will see you all next time, HAHAHA!” With that All Might ran of and jumped away once far enough, Eiko thought it was weird but it was All Might, she was probably scheduled for Patrol or something, so she shrugged it of.
Aizawa sighed and shuffled to her sleeping bag, she signaled them to leave as she got in and the class left the room and walked to the locker room.
-Time Skip: that night-
After dinner Izuku was sitting in his room, he was finishing his homework when his phone rang. He looked at the screen and saw a picture of his mom, he picked up the phone and answered, “Hey mom, how are you doing at home?” His mom sighed and he frowned, “Mom?”
“Everything is fine Izuku. I just talked to Mitsuki and Masaka. I told them that you are back and they want to meet you. I talked to Nozomi and she agreed to let them come to the school tomorrow.” His mom said and Izuku eyes widened at the thought of seeing his aunts after so many years.
“At what time will they be here?” He asked.
“They will arrive after school, they will head to Nozomi’s office and meet us there.” She answered.
“Will Kachan be there?” He asked, curious if his childhood friend would be there.
“If I’m right they should be calling her right around this time. So you can ask her.” She answered and he nodded before realizing his mom could not see him. In his mind his quietly cursed his lack of technological knowledge. He still sometimes forgot that he could just text someone and that he did not have to go look for them.
“I’ll go ask her in a minute, do you need me to pass on a message to her?”
“No sweetie, but I have to go now, love you!” She said and he smiled.
“Love you too, mom!” And he hung up.
He put down his phone and went back to his homework, after he was done he left his room and went to Kachan’s room. When he got there he knocked on the door and he heard a muffled, “Come in.”
He opened the door and saw Kachan sitting in her bed looking at her phone, “Deku? What do you need?” she said, sitting up a bit.
Izuku leaned against the door frame and asked, “Did your mom call you already?” she nodded and he went on, “Good, will you be there tomorrow?”
Kachan looked at him weirdly and said, “Of course I will, why the hell would I not be there.” she saw him looking down and asked, “What’s going on in that head of yours?” His eyes widened and she smirked, “Don’t look so surprised, even as a kid you always looked like that when something was on your mind. Come, sit.” She said, patting an open space next to her.
He went over and sat down, he put hands on his lap and frowned, “What if your moms don’t like me? What if they hate me now?” He asked, he knew it was a bit childish to think, but he was still scared of how they would react to him.
Kachan looked at him weirdly before smiling, “Really Deku, they will love you. No matter what happened to you, you will still be their nephew. You know, every year on your birthday they would go to your moms house and we would have a small get together, we would eat Katsudon and watch your favorite All Might movie, you know the one where he stopped an alien invasion with a team of international heroes.” She said and he smiled at the thought. He could barely remember the movie now and made a mental note to watch it at a later date.
Kachan put an arm around his shoulder and smiled, “They will love you. There is no doubt about that. And tomorrow you will see.”
They smiled at each other and a few minutes later Izuku went to his room to go to bed, they wished each other goodnight and he left.
-Time skip: Next day, around noon-
A large group of reporters stood in front of the U.A. gate, they were demanding that All Might came outside to talk to them.
In the crowd stood a figure, a hood covered their face, the figure moved through the crowd and towards the wall. The person took of their glove and put it against the wall, their pinky raised.
Under the hood the person smiled and whispered, “Now, let’s start the game.” With that their pinky dropped and the wall started to decay, the person moved away and the crowd took the opportunity to go through the opening.
The person went around the corner and took out their phone, they dialed a number and spoke softly into the phone, “Kurogiri, start phase 2.”
A purple portal opened in front of them and the figure stepped through, but not before looking at the building and chuckling, “Soon heroes, soon I will get my revenge on this society.” With that they stepped through the portal which shortly after closed as a alarm came from the school building.
