(Author's Note: Hello there, everyone! Welcome back to another chapter in the story of the Steam Powered Hero, well... not exactly a new chapter. Today we're diving into the mind of our favorite Explosion Boy, this time to see through his eyes how this rivalry/bromance started in the first place. Different, I know, but we'll see how this will work out. Don't forget to leave your thoughts in the comments, I'll see you guys soon! Kisses!)
~~~
Bakugo fought through the pain from Shigaraki's attack, just minutes earlier. Something he would never see himself doing happened, put his life on the line, sacrifice himself in order to protect someone he saw "inferior" his whole life, someone he would always look down upon. But maybe that had changed with time? Who's to say?
The fact is, now, he's not only fighting for his own life, he's fighting for the safety of everyone, and that's what drives him forward, he's a hero, and a hero NEVER loses. Bleeding profusely, exhausted, his arms throbbing with the unbearable pain of overusing his quirk, even his support items aren't enough, but now it's not the time to think about that.
Right there in his front, an army of Nomu, creatures bred to destroy, heartless monsters following the will of another monster. And by his side, from the mist, a shape, a hero, a rival? Even a friend, maybe, takes form... A Steam Powered Hero.
"Get back! Bakugo!" He yells out, genuine concern could be felt from his voice.
"What?! Why?" Bakugo retorted, refusing to back off from the fight.
"You're wounded, moron!" Kaito proceeds to push him away from the danger zone with a weaker blast of steam.
Still, the pomeranian refused to stay down. The next words he heard coming from the Steam Powered Hero's mouth would freeze him in place, something he heard from his classmate before during their Work Study with the No. 1 hero.
"Unlock Steam Inhibitor!"
The trump card on Steampunk's arsenal, a dangerous technique that's supposed to be used in extremely dangerous situations, IF used at all.
A technique that's arguably more lethal to it's user than it is to whomever is at the recieving end of it. Steam increased to a temperature so hot, it MELTS whomever is in it's cloud.
"Huh?! Hold on! That's!-" Bakugo's voice was shaky, as incredible as it sounds, he was worried.
"I always hated you... and your stupid quirk."
Kaito heroically throws himself into the heart of danger, destroying the charging Nomu. He risked his own life to protect everyone.
And as if that wasn't enough...
Even Bakugo has a limit to his strength, he could feel the heavy weight of the multiple wounds he had endured taking their toll on his body. He could feel himself slowly fainting, slowly drifting away, when he heard those words.
"Bakugo! Look out!"
The last dying Nomu, in one last attempt to kill even a single hero, launched blades, aiming to impale Bakugo. When Kaito pushed him out of the way, saving his life, taking the hit.
It was in a flash, a second. Bakugo could barely understand what happened, his vision blurry, he could only see the Steam Powered Hero, bleeding heavily from the three blades skewering his body.
Kaito blasted the monster one last time, removing the blades from his body, but even he can't sustain such injuries. He slowly falls backwards. When Bakugo holds him in his arms, not letting his friend, his rival, hit the ground.
