The hero team didn’t have to move far to arrive at their area. The civilian team had to move to the center of the city while the villains moved to some buildings deeper within.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5MDV0abh0
This gave the heroes some time to come up with some strategy in their safety area. It was an open area with yellow tape surrounding it, signifying the safe zone.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpvlrhaSox
Sero: “Please, tell me one of you has a plan.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVkPMreg7B
Kirishima: “Yeah, we’re not in the best spot.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcJlQ1wML2
The group looks to Izuku and Momo, who then look at each other.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSBbABqqSh
Izuku: “U-Us?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN472ijoWL
Momo: “Well, I was coming up with something. Do you have anything?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDBL94yoHE
Izuku: “Really? That’s great! All I know is that Kacchan will come for me when it starts.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSJGyxQGxC
Momo: “Can you beat him?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3slWAh3SrC
Izuku is still not the epitome of confidence, but after training with his sisters and All Might, his former bully didn’t seem so bad.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtlzrFhJAV
Izuku: “Y-Yes. I don’t know how long it will take, but… I can win.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bJg7gGFqd
Momo: “Good, because you’re our best chance for winning.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtdQfVJGxx
Izuku: “I-I am?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1n03DBZ6R
Kirishima: “Of course!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYGNkD9mZ1
Sero: “You’re our strongest team member.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBqEBBQKPy
Uraraka: “With you on our side, we can win this!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6PSlrgoyK
Izuku: “T-T-Thank you all. I-I won’t let you down!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz5R6LHjuu
Momo: “Good, so here’s the plan.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyuGqtzn6I
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrb7EWf1c3
It took a while, but the villains made it to their base. A non-descriptive building with a fake missile-looking bomb on the top floor.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBkMvhOnDe
Mina: “Haha, this will be fun!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDOQL1qvnX
Ida: “It may just be a training exercise, but it still pains me to be a villain.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ziCwfe07g
Mina: “Come on, just have fun with it.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUa2ejTce5
Ida: “That will be hard considering the company.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOr9OiGoFX
He looks to his other teammates. Todoroki was sitting against the bomb; clearly, he was planning on guarding the bomb.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc7iav0LH3
Tae was staring into the city with a blank expression. Ida doubts he can convince her to join in any plan he has. As for Bakugo…
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwUdePAGHK
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAg2GLqQvb
He was a bomb all to himself. Ida could even see him shaking, barely able to contain his wrath.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjPOLsEUnc
Ida: “The others will most likely have their own plans. Can I count on you to help me capture the civilians?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboJDHUW6nl
Mina: “Righto boss! You can count on me!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsL66S18TV
It was then, when a loud siren was heard across the city. The exercise has begun.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0JXA36tOW
Ida: “Alright, lets-”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCJo0Tiqrp
But that wasn’t the end of it. A flash of green appeared in the sky. Izuku threw his head back before yelling out his challenge.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1LDDnShVO
Izuku: “KACCHAN!! FIGHT ME!!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKebup44Jpy
That did it. Bakugo’s face split into a maddening grin before exploding into action.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzwFxtBCQv
Bakugo: “You… FUCKING NERD!!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D3CMiVfS7
Tae followed soon after, jumping out the window and dashing into the city below.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1uPwEMTkD
Ida: “That’s our cue. Let’s… ahem… go capture those civilians for our evil plans! Hahaha!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsEGwXhjPY
Mina: “That’s the spirit! Led the way.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8wnKrd5aQ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgj2cf7nCR
Jiro couldn’t afford to be the first one out. The civilians didn’t stick around each other as soon as the exercise started. Staying together would make it too easy for the villains to catch them all at once.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1saTjATZY
So that leads us to now, Jiro stalking the city while making sure to keep her ear close to the ground. She’s not fast, but this will hopefully give her some time to react if a villain does come.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DGZWATzd4
What she didn’t expect was being close to the first major fight of the exercise. But maybe, hiding under the building where it will take place might be a good spot. No one would look there.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwPtmHa6JG
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQMz42E2fc
The plan worked! But it also put a target on Izuku’s back.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvWRxYD1LT
Izuku: ‘Not like it wasn’t already there.’
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmXu4bRbeI
He floats down to the ceiling below and waits for his former friend to appear. He didn’t have to wait long.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmTd2RLzkn
Appearing with a loud boom, Bakugo shot down onto the ceiling. He raises up from his knee while sparks erupt from his hands.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi1Naj5flb
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXavJIHA9h
Izuku: “Kacchan… ”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQeR8xrm8n
Bakugo: “You have a lot of nerve Deku… you used to piss your pants before me… now you have the nerve to challenge me! ME!?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbibAuLw7md
Izuku: “I’m not the same Deku. In fact, you know what I learned. Deku doesn’t have to mean worthless. From now on, I’m Deku, the one who can do the impossible! Because that’s what I’ll be, a Hero!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFajP9ANPPg
Izuku thinks back to the strategy meeting when he explained a bit about his relationship with Kacchan. Specifically, Momo’s response to his nickname.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeCxcjerkC
Momo: “Deku, huh? Sounds a bit like Dekiru. You can do it; you’re capable. Maybe, Deku doesn’t need to mean worthless anymore, if you don’t want it to.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvaDSiY9XG
Bakugo grinds his teeth and tenses his muscles. Izuku breathes out a calming wave of air and activates his quirk. His eyes flash green, and his hair stands on end.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkUdzU58Cb
The air was electric and ready for the clash of young titans. Words weren’t needed anymore.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QhfG5IO40
Only-
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzFzrGgmWG
Fwooosh!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKKpn1rHQQ
Action!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwX1AIBOCc
Izuku lifted his hands and caught Bakugo in his explosive charge with his telekinesis. With a twitch of his hand, he throws Bakugo off the building.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79vQOL6ijU
Well, that’s what was supposed to happen. Instead, Bakugo unleashed enough force in an explosion to counteract the strength of the telekinetic hold.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsBQL2c4xv
Izuku: “Wha-”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZccy5EKASf
Bakugo bursts out of the smoke, damaged but still intact, and headbutts Izuku.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GMp6EgOW0
Izuku: “Gah-”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDypRMjIadz
Bakugo: “Stun Grenade!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PCewdvcGf
A flash of light envelops Izuku’s eyes, preventing any action for a second. That second was all Bakugo needed; he grabbed Izuku’s arm and flipped him onto the ground hard.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpcjDSb3V1
Bakugo: “You think you’re the only one who improved! You can never compare to me, Deku! Not even with a-”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPh18tnCH3
A burst of psychic energy erupted out of Izuku, knocking Bakugo into the air. Even while temporarily blind, Izuku still could guess where his opponent was.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixhqqWur4f
Predicting where he sent Bakugo, Izuku quickly got up, ripped concrete from the ceiling, and hurled it into the sky.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkv7yzbyd6
Bakugo smiled at the assault and skillfully dodged the large piles of earth. The ones he couldn’t dodge, he destroyed. The ones he couldn’t destroy…
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupw4oKDPi2
Bakugo: “Die!!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5phyNR0w4L
He grabbed and threw it at Izuku with incredible speed. Still blind, Izuku couldn’t react to the speedball and was hit in the head.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSHevca0p5
Concentration broken, Izuku’s assault ended, causing all the rubble to fall back to earth. Free to attack, Bakugo exploded into the dazed Izuku, intent on ending the battle with a big right hook. But the esper predicted as much and placed a shield around himself.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZGfRNLkmm
The resulting blast blew both titans off the building and caused the building to start collapsing.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMjkcaOUJ0
Much to the annoyance of both teens, this battle would not be as easy as they thought.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jkSgqhKyd
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi1vOKrZYI
Momo watched the battle while driving through the city on the bike she created.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJQ1JyF44c
Momo: “I guess it will take some time for Izuku to win.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKN41AbifF
Kirishima: “Y-Yeah.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJowcyHnFyN
The young man wanted to focus on the fight; he really did. But he was hanging onto Momo, one of the most attractive girls in the class. She was also wearing the most revealing outfit.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYQIsJASpu
He’s no pervert, but he’s still a man.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuovuaZQZI
Kirishima: “A-Are we close to any civilians yet?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63mHToK7nv
Momo: “No, keep an eye out.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jsMRGNjAy
Kirishima: “Righ-”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJYg5v6Gu3
Just then a frog girl jumped over the bike. Time slowed down as Tsuyu and Kirishima locked surprised eyes. When it resumed-
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOVIXNFpgq
Kirishima: “Wait!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGSlCpSQOr
Momo slammed the brakes, forcing the bike to skid to a stop. Tsuyu, after landing, jumped over to them.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1WVcWvIUX
Tsuyu: “You came just in time, kero.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ZM5xYhy5
Momo: “Why? What’s-”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxZxaK4YVn
That’s when they noticed how out of breath Tsuyu was. The frog girl pointed behind them, and then they understood why.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9aBkzyuSx
Like some horror villain, Kiri emerged from a corner nonchalantly. The presence of Mom and Kirishima didn’t change her pace; instead, she continued her slow stride forward. As if their capture was inevitable.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJnzoEhaVH
Kirishima: “No way… ”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhZhP8oabW
Momo: “I didn’t expect to run into her this soon.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvDTk4rjku
Kirishima swallowed any fear he may have. He can’t let something like this freeze him in his tracks. He’s going to be a hero! Just like Crimson Riot.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEq08Liuyz
He got off the bike and began his walk toward Kiri.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHiixVo2cv
Kirishima: “Get the civilian out of here; I’ll hold this villain off.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcYLfzqar7
Momo only hesitated for a moment before nodding. Tsuyu, understanding the situation, hoped onto the bike. A few seconds later, the two were speeding off.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVJea6ipZW
Despite that, Kiri didn’t chase them. After all, she had a new target.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWQs4AJoUD
The two met in the middle of the street and stared each other down. Kirishima might be a head taller than Kiri, but he felt like he was the one being looked down on.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05cAA2r5DR
Kiri: “Rock-man… you’re brave.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkORVbr6vb0
Kirishima: “Haha, thanks. But what hero isn’t?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItq33Sbfav
Kiri: “… True. But bravery… isn’t enough.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQnSbyVJwW
Before Kirishima could react, he was in a wall, and his whole body hurt.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsDeLNiSWc
Kiri: “Stay down.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAiahghGzF
Kiri spared him a glance before continuing her walk. But she didn’t get far before she had to turn around and block a blow from a fully hardened Kirishima.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BJbqhYo51
Kirishima: “Don’t count me out just yet!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0sQtvfse7
He was hurt, really hurt, but he wouldn’t let it end like that. Even if he can only buy a second, he will gladly do so. That’s the purpose of a hero, a shield, to defend until the last second!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg1TLwGx3z
Kiri: “…Okay.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZK3X4JCak
Unbeknownst to Kirishima, Kiri smiled at his fierce determination.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbtuThXCVO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM3HyvGeGx
Jiro: ‘That was too close!’
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3xOedD42O
Her hiding spot was pretty good until the building started falling apart!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlz33S6Azw
Jiro: ‘I didn’t expect their battle to be that destructive. But honestly, I should’ve known.’
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCPyixSYIt
Now Jiro was outside, running to find another place to hide before-
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjGX8qFlBq
Mina: “Well, looka here, a target.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkMzgzUoCU
Jiro looked up to see Mina on a nearby ceiling, giving the girl a sly smile.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv9LW0OXFM
Jiro: “Is there any way I can convince you to let me go?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SF56FHAcv
Mina: “No can do civilian; I need to finish this up and catch back up to Ida.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9EyOW7q5e
Jiro: “Tch.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGWLV1VPc6
Jiro turned tail and ran from the villain. But she knew she couldn’t outrun Mina for long. She needed a plan.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGZnQAgI7P
Jiro: ‘No rule saying we can’t defend ourselves.’
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VphmVwiMa
Jiro backtracked until she found what she was looking for, a dead end. She ran into the alley and acted like she had nowhere to go.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD2yBVssBu
Mina: “End of the line, hehehe.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBiRp2TY9J
Jiro turns back to see Mina coming closer to her while holding the capture tape.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6VnjF9Wx3
Jiro: “What do you plan to do to me, you dastardly villain?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMtKbi7GcB
Mina: “Come on, you can put a bit more energy into it.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTP6mmgmBM
Jiro: “Sorry, I’ll be louder next time.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZPhHFN1sO
At that moment, Jiro plugged her ear jacks into the sound amplifiers in her boots. Next, Jiro unleashed a powerful sound wave at Mina.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbrhPp1JfR
Mina: “Aaaah!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN82s5cTzCP
Mina dropped the capture tape and covered her ears. This gave Jiro that chance to dash for it. She grabbed it, and before Mina could recover, Jiro wrapped the tape around Mina and pushed her to the ground.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPOWj6sao7
Mina: “Ugh, what just happened?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiWdOCCDPc
Jiro: “A civilian just captured you.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzVfjmZWkE
Mina: “But… that’s not fair! You can do that?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhfGxPEujR
Jiro: “No one said we can’t. Later.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9THGbMdKe
Jiro ran out of the alley quickly, knowing a hero or villain would be drawn to the sound.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IiT5uEIPi
Mina: “Darn it!”450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXMYTgtsRb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zg1R41148
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoY4NxQJ8p
All Might smiled at the turn of events. Young Midoriya and young Bakugo’s destined battle was as destructive as she expected. He just hopes those two can settle their differences.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NKryQL4Xc
Because together, they would be far better heroes.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooPCohI5UR
All Might: ‘But young Bakugo won’t learn from his mistakes… I may have to expel him. It would be a shame, but if he doesn’t change, then he will be more of a villain than a hero.’
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBW7FMJIyf
On a lighter note, he was glad Kyoka Jiro was able to notice that loophole. Even civilians, depending on their quirk, can and should defend themselves until a hero arrives.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVrDGbpPBZ
In fact, is that not what young Midoriya did? A civilian, with no quirk at the time, helping out his fellow man. Such heroism can bring out the hero out of the professionals.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrj1xeLttp
Civilians can be a wild card for both the heroes and villains.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxfLBgEJVt
All Might: “In other words, expect the unexpected!”
