What Is Free? (Kiribaku Midevil Au)

part 5

"The League put that on you?!" Momo said in surprise.

"That's what he said dumbass," Bakugo growled.

"So is there any way to get this collar off without suffocating me or going back to the League?" Kirishima said. Momo slowly shook her head.

"Not that is known to magic. I'm sorry." She offered her condolences.

"It's ok, you did what you could." Kirishima smiled.

"Maybe you should get in contact with the knights. They've been battling against the league for decades." Momo said.

"Yea! We can get help from the best of the best!" Izuku cheered. He had admired the knights all his life and now was even training to become one.

"What those old geezers? We'd be better off bringing fucking Deku than them." This got him glares from the others. "I'm serious. If they have been fighting the League for so long then why haven't they been defeated? They're still hanging around. So those old geezers aren't strong enough."

"Who do you think you are? You think you're stronger than them?" Momo crossed her arms.

"I know I am!" He huffed. "I've been able to pick up a grown man by myself since the age of four, I can fun faster than arrows flying towards a target, and I can hit harder than a cannonball." Bakugo counted off oh his fingers.

"If you're so good then why didn't you become a knight?" Momo quirked an eyebrow. Kirishima looked back at Bakugo expecting him to answer. Bakugo did not answer. Instead, he grit his teeth and left with a 'Tch'. "That's what I thought." Momo sighed.

"Momo, Kacchan was going to become a knight," Izuku's words surprised everyone in the room, "we planned to become the best in the kingdom."

"What happened?" Uraraka asked. Then it clicked in Kirishima's head.

"Extinction day." He said. Izuku nodded.

"He hasn't been the same since," Izuku said.

"But still, those claims he made about his strength must be exaggerations," Momo said, "Surely."

"Nope, they're true." Kirishima smiled. "If seen him run faster than an arrow while we were hunting."

"And I saw him pick up full-grown people when we were kids," Izuku said. "It's one of the reasons no one would take him in."

"Take him in?" Kirishima asked confused.

"My apologies then." Momo bowed. "I didn't mean to strike a nerve."

"It's Kacchan, he'll be fine." Izuku smiled. Momo nodded. "We probably go check on him though, make sure he didn't break anything on the way out."

"Thanks for your help!" Kirishima smiled and put his scarf back on. Momo smiled.

"It was my pleasure. I'm sorry I couldn't have been more useful." Momo said.

"It's ok. You gave us the information we need." Kirishima smiled. Momo's eyes widened.

"You don't mean you're actually going after them." She said with a hint of fear in her voice.

"They've had it coming." Kirishima shrugged and headed out t the front, leaving a stunned Uraraka, Izuku, and Momo. He walked out the door to a sea of people all looking at something.  

"The fuck did you just say to me?!" Kirishima heard Bakugo yell. Oh, so that's what they were looking at.

"I just thought you left once and for all. You know." Another voice said. Bakugo was in a fight. Kirishima dove to the front of the crowd to see.
