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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANA7owAZ3DS9r
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAzfAVoLN0Iq
Sero: “Please, tell me one of you has a plan.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAB1RrCvaiN0
Kirishima: “Yeah, we’re not in the best spot.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAMcrpxbLm37
The group looks to Izuku and Momo, who then look at each other.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAQaeRxcOjQ6
Izuku: “U-Us?”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAF4cfVPsrqK
Momo: “Well, I was coming up with something. Do you have anything?”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAD7v4jT9DRp
Izuku: “Really? That’s great! All I know is that Kacchan will come for me when it starts.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANALnE6XuaQv5
Momo: “Can you beat him?”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAzi9zkXmyue
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAZS0MEhF7xJ
Izuku: “Y-Yes. I don’t know how long it will take, but… I can win.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAUuid4DhQx5
Momo: “Good, because you’re our best chance for winning.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAHNa59X0V2M
Izuku: “I-I am?”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAiXbkSkK9dl
Kirishima: “Of course!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAT6jo9DT8EF
Sero: “You’re our strongest team member.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAmS7CSHGoZV
Uraraka: “With you on our side, we can win this!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAEKwMAdHtee
Izuku: “T-T-Thank you all. I-I won’t let you down!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA27xrw9GimB
Momo: “Good, so here’s the plan.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAa9TlaKoEbc
100Please respect copyright.PENANACBqBej8oPL
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAPFvSgx1bcx
Mina: “Haha, this will be fun!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZVaNPXk3Q
Ida: “It may just be a training exercise, but it still pains me to be a villain.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA4BxCPyH9kO
Mina: “Come on, just have fun with it.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANADvwYF5FJs4
Ida: “That will be hard considering the company.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAAKiGk6Wndg
He looks to his other teammates. Todoroki was sitting against the bomb; clearly, he was planning on guarding the bomb.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAAEiXCRa1x2
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…
100Please respect copyright.PENANAJdAdjokxoG
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAMqb7qK54J9
He was a bomb all to himself. Ida could even see him shaking, barely able to contain his wrath.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAAJwjlw5jv1
Ida: “The others will most likely have their own plans. Can I count on you to help me capture the civilians?”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAn7wQzEzjSo
Mina: “Righto boss! You can count on me!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAFLfQ5sKn0x
It was then, when a loud siren was heard across the city. The exercise has begun.
100Please respect copyright.PENANATn2FlH2sle
Ida: “Alright, lets-”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAbfpSCqiTX8
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAu6O1vqThuZ
Izuku: “KACCHAN!! FIGHT ME!!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAWlwHkKpwB6
That did it. Bakugo’s face split into a maddening grin before exploding into action.
100Please respect copyright.PENANA1YNPHNMpJQ
Bakugo: “You… FUCKING NERD!!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAiRRgtOvc94
Tae followed soon after, jumping out the window and dashing into the city below.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAegsNc2HUSC
Ida: “That’s our cue. Let’s… ahem… go capture those civilians for our evil plans! Hahaha!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA7AyNcPKUkx
Mina: “That’s the spirit! Led the way.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAjib7QJUmqz
100Please respect copyright.PENANAdEpFeY3isK
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAporHeBlDE6
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAM1kHgQDfSE
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAyRYIyRZjqV
100Please respect copyright.PENANAucyDBZ6jAr
The plan worked! But it also put a target on Izuku’s back.
100Please respect copyright.PENANA55nsb8Li6n
Izuku: ‘Not like it wasn’t already there.’
100Please respect copyright.PENANAoWNqt0o2me
He floats down to the ceiling below and waits for his former friend to appear. He didn’t have to wait long.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAsM15IH7HsR
Appearing with a loud boom, Bakugo shot down onto the ceiling. He raises up from his knee while sparks erupt from his hands.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAtCIDj3dyjB
Bakugo: “Deku… ”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAcn70kwrruN
Izuku: “Kacchan… ”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA7Zr8fqplS9
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!?”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA4s2gXKL79l
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!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAHwjBSx2jH7
Izuku thinks back to the strategy meeting when he explained a bit about his relationship with Kacchan. Specifically, Momo’s response to his nickname.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAMoykm7owmi
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.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAeWlfUsI9B6
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAXikmxTiiir
The air was electric and ready for the clash of young titans. Words weren’t needed anymore.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAFKcPLDBWFP
Only-
100Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6ci3PydA8
Fwooosh!
100Please respect copyright.PENANA84cxiXkAd6
Action!
100Please respect copyright.PENANAVkxkc7Nxvf
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANABAbJ8xPQlR
Well, that’s what was supposed to happen. Instead, Bakugo unleashed enough force in an explosion to counteract the strength of the telekinetic hold.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAgXzK3LpysL
Izuku: “Wha-”
100Please respect copyright.PENANArBOgfXBNup
Bakugo bursts out of the smoke, damaged but still intact, and headbutts Izuku.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAZkDu5yf077
Izuku: “Gah-”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA1dKPFSpNLG
Bakugo: “Stun Grenade!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA0NSdQngCjF
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANA0KzgAOXq9D
Bakugo: “You think you’re the only one who improved! You can never compare to me, Deku! Not even with a-”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA9FpDPw2DoG
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANA8dxNULxUwP
Predicting where he sent Bakugo, Izuku quickly got up, ripped concrete from the ceiling, and hurled it into the sky.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAoTgf0FWrcF
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…
100Please respect copyright.PENANAUmbo5n6GYD
Bakugo: “Die!!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAPnOa4I6vTw
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANADsUwpokhxp
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAhu9QXLPAsc
The resulting blast blew both titans off the building and caused the building to start collapsing.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAb1f2QpiET0
Much to the annoyance of both teens, this battle would not be as easy as they thought.
100Please respect copyright.PENANA8uEKwvma5l
100Please respect copyright.PENANAW6fOnaFZQf
Momo watched the battle while driving through the city on the bike she created.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAH24NnHQYFE
Momo: “I guess it will take some time for Izuku to win.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANACvag5wpAVI
Kirishima: “Y-Yeah.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA8fu46iZYEr
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANADDSyfyn6jy
He’s no pervert, but he’s still a man.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAjWbu5jDEc4
Kirishima: “A-Are we close to any civilians yet?”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA19F40C2p3i
Momo: “No, keep an eye out.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANACMHi8k0aBL
Kirishima: “Righ-”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAbkJA0rQc55
Just then a frog girl jumped over the bike. Time slowed down as Tsuyu and Kirishima locked surprised eyes. When it resumed-
100Please respect copyright.PENANAC5PEaRkO5n
Kirishima: “Wait!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAhttKe8oTBQ
Momo slammed the brakes, forcing the bike to skid to a stop. Tsuyu, after landing, jumped over to them.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAN6HgYFd6wR
Tsuyu: “You came just in time, kero.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAjVNPSEwk0W
Momo: “Why? What’s-”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAHmU8zrmC5o
That’s when they noticed how out of breath Tsuyu was. The frog girl pointed behind them, and then they understood why.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAJPlDfWejVo
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAVC1lbmQrBi
Kirishima: “No way… ”
100Please respect copyright.PENANArfgpYESQt6
Momo: “I didn’t expect to run into her this soon.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANANkgqJgBmW4
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAPq4pXzBfkR
He got off the bike and began his walk toward Kiri.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAJHKTT0JiWB
Kirishima: “Get the civilian out of here; I’ll hold this villain off.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANA3BsuspehrW
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAyFQHqXSecq
Despite that, Kiri didn’t chase them. After all, she had a new target.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAFWMS5KzNKZ
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANA2sKNkyOAJa
Kiri: “Rock-man… you’re brave.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAvhbe5DoIFc
Kirishima: “Haha, thanks. But what hero isn’t?”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAz95dpmlsxW
Kiri: “… True. But bravery… isn’t enough.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAurAMP3LoAR
Before Kirishima could react, he was in a wall, and his whole body hurt.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAJZxvbjXdEQ
Kiri: “Stay down.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAdDh6QMGcZV
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAxHgOZiDRBI
Kirishima: “Don’t count me out just yet!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAYPmapUCcp6
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!
100Please respect copyright.PENANAjh55nmvSs8
Kiri: “…Okay.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANATsShkhmJlG
Unbeknownst to Kirishima, Kiri smiled at his fierce determination.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAyN1lLEwM6M
100Please respect copyright.PENANAIQpPirJqsT
Jiro: ‘That was too close!’
100Please respect copyright.PENANAnl6RIrQ1Gz
Her hiding spot was pretty good until the building started falling apart!
100Please respect copyright.PENANASmDFEAzqkd
Jiro: ‘I didn’t expect their battle to be that destructive. But honestly, I should’ve known.’
100Please respect copyright.PENANAj4AK6Q9sSK
Now Jiro was outside, running to find another place to hide before-
100Please respect copyright.PENANAwvuwjMXOla
Mina: “Well, looka here, a target.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANABUoBPsJBSA
Jiro looked up to see Mina on a nearby ceiling, giving the girl a sly smile.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAoIuzfwAgDm
Jiro: “Is there any way I can convince you to let me go?”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAFhRookn3Rw
Mina: “No can do civilian; I need to finish this up and catch back up to Ida.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAPGdVgoPMAc
Jiro: “Tch.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANASoMQkp7BNj
Jiro turned tail and ran from the villain. But she knew she couldn’t outrun Mina for long. She needed a plan.
100Please respect copyright.PENANALBcOeZKDRy
Jiro: ‘No rule saying we can’t defend ourselves.’
100Please respect copyright.PENANA9jjv64GFqd
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAKAjXj93Zd2
Mina: “End of the line, hehehe.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANABPLj9PRXIz
Jiro turns back to see Mina coming closer to her while holding the capture tape.
100Please respect copyright.PENANA6WpJIoE3em
Jiro: “What do you plan to do to me, you dastardly villain?”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAQRMkITdXtC
Mina: “Come on, you can put a bit more energy into it.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAAhqTqMWkYH
Jiro: “Sorry, I’ll be louder next time.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANABptF1Omnem
At that moment, Jiro plugged her ear jacks into the sound amplifiers in her boots. Next, Jiro unleashed a powerful sound wave at Mina.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAs0yE35zgp2
Mina: “Aaaah!”
100Please respect copyright.PENANADMWzqBUW0e
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANA4Woefm1cZy
Mina: “Ugh, what just happened?”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAZ52v2fbE9q
Jiro: “A civilian just captured you.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAlerIu77rY5
Mina: “But… that’s not fair! You can do that?”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAnAbVWbpdZX
Jiro: “No one said we can’t. Later.”
100Please respect copyright.PENANAsLeeakAHo9
Jiro ran out of the alley quickly, knowing a hero or villain would be drawn to the sound.
100Please respect copyright.PENANARpw7iOXUdP
Mina: “Darn it!”100Please respect copyright.PENANABnpJVlnWt5
100Please respect copyright.PENANAXr5pMvh10r
100Please respect copyright.PENANAOV640GLG6h
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ1GAoTaDC
Because together, they would be far better heroes.
100Please respect copyright.PENANABtJSMG5dTg
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.’
100Please respect copyright.PENANAPXdS5eX4iT
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAw3V1B4MyQN
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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANACIdtMmIFR3
Civilians can be a wild card for both the heroes and villains.
100Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZZJfsGInH
All Might: “In other words, expect the unexpected!”
