At this moment, terror reigned. The ground was shaking, and smoke filled the air. Aizawa was lying on the ground, bleeding heavily, while Noumu raised its hand to end his life. Shigaraki's eyes were filled with joy, seeing that his plan had succeeded.
"Break his arm," Shigaraki commanded.
Slowly, Noumu raised its hand, ready to break Aizawa's arm. But at that moment...
"DETROIT SMASH!!!"
Suddenly, All Might appeared, delivering a massive punch toward Noumu. The blow was so powerful that it created a huge shockwave, throwing Noumu away.
BOOM!!!
Noumu was thrown a tremendous distance before it crashed into the wall.
"You're late, hero," Shigaraki said coldly. "You should have been here a long time ago."
"I may be late, but I am here now!" All Might roared.
All Might was absolutely furious. His eyes blazed with fire, and his body trembled with power.
"You will pay for what you've done!" All Might shouted.
"Quickly, now!" At that moment, three other people arrived at the scene: Midoriya, Mineta, and Uraraka.
"All Might..." Midoriya muttered, seeing Aizawa lying on the ground, his blood pooling around him. His eyes widened in horror, seeing that his teacher had been brutally attacked.
"Watch out!" All Might shouted.
Midoriya and his friends didn't have time to react. They had to find a way to escape.
"Uraraka," Midoriya said. "Use your Quirk to lift us!"
"What?" Uraraka cried.
"No time to explain!" Midoriya yelled. "Trust me!"
"You can't do anything." They heard a strange voice before Kurogiri suddenly appeared, opening a warp gate in front of them.
The gate wrapped around their feet, pulling them inside.
"No!" Midoriya shouted, trying to get away from the gate.
But he didn't succeed. The gate was stronger than him, and it pulled him in.
"What an arrogant boy," Shigaraki said with a laugh. "Do you think you can defeat us?"
"I don't think so," Midoriya said coldly. "I'm sure of it."
"Well... it's good to hear that... Kurogiri, finish him off," Shigaraki said with a dangerous smile.
But at that moment...
GRAB!!!
Bakugo suddenly attacked Kurogiri, grabbing him with force.
"Bakugo!" Midoriya shouted, looking at Bakugo.
"Why are you talking as if you're my friend, you useless idiot?!" Bakugo yelled in anger before looking back at the villain.
Could Bakugo defeat the masked boy?
Simply put... no.
...--
The fight between Bakugo and Toji was extremely intense, and even though Bakugo and Kirishima teamed up against Toji, they were still unable to take him down.
Suddenly...
"I give up," Toji said with a bored tone.
The masked boy stopped fighting in the middle of the battle. His swift movements had completely ceased, and he stood still without any movement.
"What?" Kirishima shouted in confusion. "Why did he stop?"
"I lost interest," Toji said in a calm voice, looking at Bakugo. "I don't want to continue the fight anymore."
Fury blazed in Bakugo. He didn't want the fight to end like this. He had a strong desire to prove he was the strongest and that he wasn't a "fool" as this stranger had described him.
"You can't just stop like that, you bastard!" Bakugo shouted, advancing toward Toji, his hands popping.
But, before he could reach him, a massive pressure hit him, causing him to fall to the ground. Bakugo felt as if an invisible force was pressing on his entire body, preventing him from moving.
"What is this?" Bakugo yelled, struggling to breathe.
Toji didn't respond. Instead, he turned his back and continued on his way, leaving a big question behind.
Why did Toji fight Bakugo if he didn't want to finish the fight? Simply put, he just wanted to know the power of the main characters, and since he had achieved his goal, he could now move on to what was more important.
"Bakugo!" Kirishima shouted, running toward him. "Are you alright?"
"Damn it..." Bakugo muttered, slowly getting up. "Who the hell is that bastard?"
"That doesn't matter now!" Kirishima yelled. "We have to get back to where the teacher is!"
Bakugo realized Kirishima was right. They had to find Aizawa and make sure he was alright. But inside, he had a strong desire to find that masked boy and fight him again, but the priority now was to reach the teacher.
"Hurry up!" Bakugo shouted before heading toward Aizawa's location.
...--
"I'll show you my power!" Bakugo shouted, unleashing another explosion toward Kurogiri, which sent him flying away.
WARP!!..
But Kurogiri, in mid-air, regained his balance, then used his Quirk to appear behind Midoriya.
"It's time for the end," Kurogiri said, opening a warp gate in front of Midoriya's face.
"No!" Midoriya shouted in terror, seeing the gate.
But, at that moment...
BOOOOOOM!!!!
