Izuku had watched all the matches that came before and was glad so many of his classmates passed. But he could barely focus due to his own teammates.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CVqcI0W4v
They hovered around each other, unable to say a word to one another. Uraraka at least tried to make a conversation with Izuku, but he wasn’t really in the mood either.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotKCF58qkM
When the time came for the three of them to stand ready for their exam, Izuku found himself in the middle. Bakugo to his right and Uraraka to his left.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT1S4otTF0
Uraraka: “What do we do, Midoriya? We’re fighting All Might. All Might!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF87m3t37Z
The boy cups his chin and contemplates the strange test.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZrqkAbTco
Izuku: ‘It… doesn’t really make sense. Not for me.’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkXfkOfYyw
The boy knows how powerful he is and won’t sugarcoat it. He could easily pass this test.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LV7CmLfxI
Flight, teleportation, illusions, and more. There are too many ways for him to bypass All Might. Even if he had to bring Uraraka and Bakugo with him, he could do it.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXRwApiDt7
Hell, he could probably beat All Might… maybe.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt18pe9WYE
Izuku: ‘So what are they really testing? What is the secret criteria?’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4baHW9zB0
It was then that Bakugo decided to walk towards the gate.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHEvY9iosD
Uraraka: “W-Wait a minute, where are you going?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW5Z0l0wsb
Bakugo: “It’s obvious; I’m going to knock him out!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcv838ssUw
Uraraka: “Are you serious? Knock out All Might?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeX4Rr4P0C
Bakugo: “I’ll lead him around by the nose until the final moments. And then I’ll smash him when he’s tuckered out! Me!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfY7DVNlRr
Izuku: ‘Ah… that’s the criteria… how well we can work together despite the tension. Maybe even rebuild bridges… if that’s even possible.’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc4AZptJhx
Izuku: “Bakugo, this test is supposed to show how well we work together. Not-”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34te3LcNub
Bakugo: “Shut it, Deku! Just because you beat me doesn’t mean I will take orders! I’ll defeat All Might!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0sjNyMOvT
Izuku: “And what will that prove!? You think beating him will mean you’ll be number 1 one day? Wrong! You still need to beat me.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cINQURuNW
Bakugo: “You-”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEoY7dWnDV
Uraraka: “Wait, wait, wait! You two fought!? Was that the noise I heard last nig-”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpANendW0qK
A large explosion in the distance echoed across the city the second before a wave of force met the trio. Izuku teleported to the front and put up an emerald shield with one hand.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwldRjXZt4F
As expected, even Izuku couldn’t fully block even a casual strike from All Might. Before his eyes, cracks start to form on his shield.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K41ifpCah
Before he needed to use both hands, the winds died down to reveal the nearly destroyed building around them. All of that just from one punch from All Might.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO2s91ax9L
Uraraka: “This is crazy… ”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaKLroliLE
Izuku: “It’s not over.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WUiYQj8xe
Out of the smoke emerges All Might, giving the kids a more sinister version of his iconic smile.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHqBceTxf1
All Might: “If you’re thinking of this as just a test, then you’re in for a world of pain. I am a villain, oh heroes. Come at me and put your whole hearts into it!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkm1JjxjOY
And so he comes, barreling towards the weakest of three at incredible speeds. Uraraka, still stunned by All Might’s power and what she heard from her teammates, was unable to move.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H8Q16xewg
You’d expect Izuku to save her, but to everyone’s surprise, it was Bakugo to push her out of the way and counter.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19dnYaxLOt
Bakugo: “Stun Grenade!!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PzLzc9s84
Temporarily blinded, Bakugo was free to charge his idol and highest aspiration. But a blinded All Might is still All Might. The pro hero grabbed Bakugo’s face, but instead of instinctively trying to escape, Bakugo leaned in and released several explosions.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW22xThQxn
All Might: “Ow! Ow! Ow! That stings.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyaoxVoO2J
Tired of that, All Might slammed Bakugo into the ground. But before he can follow up, All Might is pushed back by a force push from Izuku.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYefFMj0qQF
Izuku floats over Bakugo and faces the number one hero.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDh1eejZJg
All Might: “Will you face me by yourself, young Midoriya?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKasHfJ0Li
Bakugo: “He’s mine, Deku!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf7HSTOHJC
Bakugo: ‘Don’t take this away from me too damn it!’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZb49HFBxw
His inner thoughts were clear as day to a person who has lived most of their life with him. Izuku looks back at his teammates and sighs.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIWvpMhO2o
Izuku: “I’ll face All Might, for now.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OiR0L3FAt
Izuku: “Uraraka, talk sense into Bakugo.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkhVbuTtD3
Uraraka: “What!? Who-”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa42Ai3Qm52
Before she can question anything, Izuku teleports to both Bakugo and Uraraka. When he touched them, he quickly teleported them elsewhere in the city.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkheoQdWHK6
This may be a dumb idea, but what other choice does he have? Fixing things between them won’t be done in one day, if at all. But maybe those two have a chance.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffi6JOKnYy
Izuku: ‘I hope… because the best chance for us to pass, without me doing everything, is Uraraka.’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNWkhH0OYK
All Might: “I hope you have a plan, young Midoriya.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtqQ1aWFoS
Izuku: “Was this your idea, All Might?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVxHZ4ZF7f
All Might: “No, actually. It was Aizawa’s idea to pair you three up. I don’t know the whole story, but I know it won’t be fixed with a battle. But it is a good idea to get used to fighting with people you may not like.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckMkykm0Iq
Izuku: “Then I’m sorry to disappoint you, All Might. You have to fight me alone for a while.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaChA4fPAN
All Might: “That is fine, young Midoriya. This is a great chance to see just how far you’ve gone.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAjGdiOkBF
Words weren’t needed anymore between these two giants. Charging his body with psychic power, Izuku met All Might in the middle and collided fists.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXkoBEzBwT
The surrounding buildings were once again brought to the brink of crumbling from the wind pressure. The result of it, though, was surprising, the two giants were equally matched.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKLdZK9OI2
At least for a moment.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRueFBqtdWl
After a while, All Might overpowered Izuku, sending him flying away. But Izuku knew that would happen eventually, so was already ready.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYQEFV0BbY
He brought his arms together, before releasing them alongside with several transmuted rubble.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vgv2rWDny
Black iron bullets hammered All Might’s location. But they were no match for his strength; one punch was all it took to destroy the oncoming storm.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7bFd7mwBN
Izuku: ‘Thought as much. This is All Might after all.’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZMlnnMzTb
The goal is to keep All Might busy until his teammates work things out. At least enough to help.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHAXYsC2sY
But he also can’t go all out and outshine them. Clearly, this exam is more for their benefit than for him. Because anyone who can clash with All Might, weakened by weights or not, deserves to pass.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCA3cuVZBz
To that end, Izuku focused on evasion and withstanding the man.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXILakkgFlr
Teleporting back into the fray, he delivered a punch to All Might’s jaw before teleporting away from the counter. Reappearing, he delivered an overhead hammer to the skull.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XHt7XLLQ2
All Might tried to catch Izuku, but he teleported out of the way in time.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt9uGD1W5m
All Might: “It’s like fighting a fly.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs49WVqq8vU
This went on for a minute, Izuku chipping away at the giant with rapid punches and kicks. That’s until All Might clapped his hands.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqttbujXyjH
Izuku: “Ugh!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS8MOFLoYU
One second to cover his ears, one second to get caught and slammed into the ground. The result was a large smoke cloud that could be seen from where Bakugo and Uraraka were.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WiWqvJdw1
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oaEn5XFAR
Once again, Izuku’s power is shown to be ridiculous. Once again, he takes what is his.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jmr5qpfv9
Sure, the boy seems to be losing, but it didn’t matter. Izuku was fighting All Might and not losing instantly. Worse, he sent him and Uraraka away like they were burdens.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TwewjtdjI
Bakugo: ‘Does he expect us to run to the gate?!’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1yVqIDL0y
Fuck that, the boy attempts to jump off the building Izuku sent them and fight.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWzlDBD0Fo
Uraraka: “Where are you going!?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qpDpHA7SD
Bakugo: “To fight All Might!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38FEgNALkj
Uraraka: “Why? Midoriya gave us a chance to pass. Let’s just go to the gate and-”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtknf9I53W
Bakugo: “You think that’s a victory!? Running away?!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRMWn92l80
Uraraka: “No but-”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2d0ZHQhgG
Bakugo: “Why are you even talking to me!? Aren’t you supposed to be Deku’s number one supporter? Just… leave me alone.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnPWclL57r
Uraraka: “… Did you apologize?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSEQgiTohq
Bakugo: “Hah?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc12JEvGZ96
Uraraka: “I heard what you said before, that you two fought. That you… lost… ”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUXVNgvACB
Bakugo: “And you assumed I’d apologize to that fuckface, huh?!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHoRZVDES3
Uraraka: “Yeah! You should after everything you told me!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYhNH48fbp
Bakugo: “And what would that change!?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid24AmYsiB
Uraraka: “… I don’t know. At least it means you’re trying to be better.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr5L0wP5Kb
Bakugo: “… Whatever.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl0ehqNdWo
He tries to jump again, but Uraraka grabs his arm. The instinct to hit her, to shake her off, stirs, but the boy quickly stomps it into oblivion.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRIPWJQAoI
He’d hurt Uraraka if they were fighting, because she deserves nothing less, but never outside of it.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKTJDmivmK
Bakugo: “What now, Round Face!?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugcvrHodY4
Uraraka: “… Fine, we’ll fight him. We’ll beat All Might.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNP1leuJr0
Bakugo: “… Hah?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5nD2nJYkw
Uraraka: “But you’re going to have to trust me. Midoriya is right; this is supposed to be a test of our teamwork. So work with me and Midoriya.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYe1Y4eOGR
The boy looks back to the battlefield below, at the increasing levels of destruction caused by his idol and former punching bag. Oh, how things have changed.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8V6tp9XZP
Working with Uraraka is one thing, but working with him…
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWalnXRSu5R
Bakugo: “… If I need his… charity to win, then I’d rather lose altogether.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmxtLoayfG
That did it.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7Y4Oz2Uyd
Using what she learned from Gunhead, Uraraka pulled Bakugo’s arm toward her and then flipped him to the ground. To prevent him from getting back up, she straddles the boy and places her hands on his shoulders.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY67eOn0Z2r
Uraraka: “Are you seriously saying you’d rather give up!? You!?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPqrgMgfQx
Bakugo: “Get off me!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AgqsfZLPQ
Uraraka: “Not until you start acting like the hero you want to be. You said a hero is one who never loses. Well, you lost, Bakugo! And you will continue to lose if you don’t make things right. If you don’t learn how to at least work with Midoriya.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vTpr753n0
Bakugo: “After what he did!? Did he tell you that the only reason why I said anything to you was because he forced me!? He would have told you if I hadn’t.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yP1WZjPCk
Uraraka: “… No… and that’s… something I didn’t think he would do. But I’m glad he did. Because I couldn’t have been with you if I didn’t know the truth.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL9ewg9yia
Again, Bakugo is slammed by the fact that such a girl had feelings for him of all people. And Deku ruined it all…
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jDEJ6prrM
Bakugo: ‘No… we’re done.’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuSUXlcEd3
The bridge has been burned too many times. Any positive feelings the two had for each other have been buried by years of abuse, jealousy, misunderstandings, and conflict.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YmHAi5sIZ
Even after their fight, nothing has been truly settled. It just aches like an old wound.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iQk7UaGd5
They can never return to the way things were before Bakugo got a quirk. But… it didn’t mean they couldn’t work together professionally.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBsHInq9WH
It didn’t mean Bakugo couldn’t try, not for him, but for the one reaching out now.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVZf3S3bPB
Bakugo: “… Damn it… ”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbODIfJ1LX7
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSskAIWPcw
All Might: “Time is running out, young Midoriya.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VeD3Ep4wl
The boy is running on fumes at this point. Over the course of the battle, All Might slowly unleashed more and more of his power.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVZ7rHxQxD
Even present-day Izuku doesn’t have the strength to match the man physically. At least not without channeling one of the beings within.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4uuztm5lO
Izuku: ‘This isn’t a death match though.’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oPJUdClI0
So he kept to the non-lethal basics to keep up with All Might. Psychic enhanced body to tank and counter blows. Telekinesis to hurl transmuted rubble and trip up All Might with pitfalls.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIg5ntMKh1
But All Might easily blew through it all.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQltk1ZzLN
Izuku: ‘All Might is so cool… ’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFJo3oNRCc
All Might: “I hope your plan to help young Bakugo will work out. Because right now-”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFqwW71xmT
Izuku blocks another heavy blow to his stomach, but it was still powerful enough to send the boy skidding back.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9m86I1FaO
All Might: “You may have to abandon them if you want to pass.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2SOmAPb3v
Wiping the blood from his mouth, Izuku simply smiles.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeuM2IlFJ0
Izuku: “I probably should, huh? Give up on Bakugo and Uraraka, and win this all myself, like we all know I could. But that’s not the hero I want to be, and that’s the kind of hero Bakugo seeks to be. That’s not a victory either of us would want, right, Bakugo!?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vTG8FfTIf
Bakugo: “Deku, copy!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou9annppT4
A large explosion engulfs All Might, one delivered by Bakugo’s gauntlets. The resulting explosion also sought to consume Izuku, but he blocked it and saw the other gift Bakugo gave.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IeaLhvZFT
Several grenades were lobbed over All Might, aimed toward Izuku’s position. Using one hand to keep the shield up, the boy used the other to bring the bombs to him.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1zRRmQV8o
Izuku: ‘Copy, huh?’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF5uVSovhX
Creating the same substance that powers Bakugo’s explosions, Izuku prepared the next stage of the impulsive plan.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCznPOanKa
When All Might recovered from the blast, he turned toward Bakugo, but he was already gone. But before he can give chase or turn toward Izuku, he is surrounded by lightly glowing grenades.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxGUzZNiOj
Izuku: “Detonate.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr93YL9Bi5
Instantly, all the enhanced grenades were detonated, causing a medium-sized mushroom cloud of devastation. Izuku wasn’t down though; he controlled said devastation and turned it into an inferno cage.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV5YSWxwel
One All Might could leave, if he charges, so the boy doesn’t let up. He unleashes the newest copied move.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh8cVqM2G4
Izuku: “AP: Rapid Hellgun!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeGRpHwVUh
Like Bakugo’s Autocannon, Izuku’s version shoots out green-colored explosive bolts. Sensing danger, All Might jumps out of the inferno cage and punches the air toward Izuku.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYJhlQEGuO
The force behind All Might’s blow was enough to bury the boy into the concrete, since he was unable to form a shield in time.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNPumoucwr
Landing on his feet, All Might looks around for anyone else but finds nothing.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Td3QJQcx
All Might: “A good effort, young Midoriya. But it would seem that you have lost. Only one partner came back for you.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6pDFxtNRH
The boy only grins.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYpM5AZXIJ
Izuku: “Did you forget, All Might, I have mental abilities as well?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78uyUpE2GD
It was then that All Might felt weightless.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9odKgtoTOo
All Might: “Huh?!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySu9XsVihe
He looks behind to see Uraraka. But how?
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1egSO5GXy
Izuku: “I made it so you couldn’t perceive her. Thanks to telepathy, she knew when to strike.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2EV9Gkjhu
All Might: ‘… Terrifying…’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7iUxBsU1w
Izuku: “Kacchan!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZLyFcgUf6
Bakugo: “Shut it, Deku!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWfMd1JgFq
Before All Might could recover, Bakugo slides under him and-
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa144rmYHs
Bakugo: “DIIIIIEEE!!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tivKLNrNR
Unleashed a blast greater than the one used during his battle against Uraraka. Now weightless, All Might was helplessly flung far into the air. That should give them enough time.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mQTtWnZTP
Uraraka: “W-We did it!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bLosaKCvr
Bakugo: “Let’s go!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGCLTfhetE
Izuku easily removed himself from the concrete and followed the duo, who were already running to the exit.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM6ynLiRR3
Uraraka: “Um, Midoriya, why don’t you teleport us to the gate?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MBLsUdAIj
Izuku: “Because that wouldn’t be fair.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbZgW9u7MZ
Bakugo: “What’s wrong, Round Face? Can’t handle a simple run?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkc9Fcq7OB
Uraraka: “Says the one who’s using his quirk to speed up.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu2dgYsy7I
Bakugo: “Tch.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsFal4gA3z
Listening, the boy returned to the ground and began running alongside his… teammates.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvA9Szeyx5
Izuku: ‘Well… that gamble paid off. This means we can work together at least. Anything more… only time will tell.’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN7O89AW4K
Uraraka: “Wait, do you hear something?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RixFCDsyS
All Might: “New Hampshire…”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK54esnunhR
Izuku: “Watch out!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1QCib7zPE
All Might: “SMASH!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwByvSOEuZ
Punching the air, All Might catapulted himself to the ground. He was aiming for Bakugo, but Izuku pushed him out of the way and took the hit himself. And heavy enough was the blow that the boy was sent flying away.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsCdFLEDKu
All Might: “My, my, how naive, heroes!!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsRdU8l0bB
Uraraka: “No way!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBX0NZjcgq
All Might: “Now what will you do without your strongest member?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHx3KDxcf1
Bakugo: “I don’t need Deku to beat-”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2JdQw1om0
Before he could finish his boast, All Might launched himself toward him, destroyed the gauntlets, and sunk his fist into the boy’s stomach.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGar9gSsJMn
Bakugo: “GAUGH!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29xZK6anXD
Lunch expelled and strength sapped, Bakugo was flung just as far as Izuku.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU4uKCMya6
Uraraka: “Bakugo!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tOnQw4jxk
All Might: “And there was one. What will you do, hero!?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI08p2j31y
Uraraka: ‘Bakugo and Midoriya together couldn’t win. What can I do? All Might is too fast, too strong… ’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjjfoQILMI
Even still, the girl couldn’t just give up. Despite the shaking in her boots, Uraraka puts up her fists.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM43tsSYtfy
All Might: “Excellent spirit, hero. But will it be enough?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKatyxIU0rX
The man speeds toward Uraraka, fist at the ready to knock her out as gently as possible. Uraraka can barely react, but Izuku could.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjekC77PnD
A multilayered green shield blocks the strike and then expands to envelop All Might. The boy puts both of his hands up, strengthening the shield to withstand the rapid blows of All Might. Still, it won’t last long.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E82zy1ont
Izuku: “Get Bakugo, and go!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5mQqGTzq5
Uraraka: “R-Right!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQsVRvsynD
The girl runs to the recovering Bakugo and tries to help him, but he pushes her hand away.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElyVSv2vRY
Bakugo: “No! If Deku is still fighting, I am too. So instead-”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yhcE5rKXw
He grabs Uraraka’s collar, causing her to blush lightly, and says-
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIznlD9RdU
Bakugo: “Make yourself light, Round Face! I’m throwing you.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiNa8Z2pYH
Uraraka: “W-What!?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Vmqqd284
Bakugo: “No time, hurry!”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr29mWB4vt
She listened when she heard the shield breaking. Releasing All Might and then activating the quirk on herself, she nods to Bakugo.

Plan set, Bakugo throws Uraraka to the nearby gate and then turns around in time to blast an approaching All Might.

Bakugo and Izuku didn’t need to hold All Might off for long. Thanks to the explosion and the fact she had no gravity weighing her down, Uraraka was able to pass the gate with a minute to spare.

Recovery Girl: “Group 5 has passed!!”

Hearing that, the males stopped their battle, but only Bakugo nearly collapsed in exhaustion. His pride, however, refused to show such weakness, not when Izuku and All Might are standing just fine.

All Might: “Well done for holding me back, both of you.”

Izuku: “Thank you, All Might! It was an honor to fight you!”

Bakugo: “Tch.”

Uraraka: “I really have to get used to floating myself. I can’t get sick every time. But more than that…”

She looks to the boys who practically carried her to victory. She barely contributed. Heck, Bakugo barely contributed!

Uraraka: “I have a long way to go…”

But she won’t stop, not when her family needs her. Not when her friends will no doubt need her in the future.

A/N: This is what we call a good idea with poor to mid execution. I wish I could have done this better, but I couldn’t think of another way to resolve this.

At least in a way that wasn’t even more rushed or preachy. Can what I’m doing to Bakugo be considered ‘bashing’?
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj9vTNB3Um
And am I, similar to canon, reducing Uraraka to just a vehicle for romance and/or others’ character development?
