Diamonds in the Rough *INDEFINITE HIATUS*

Teamwork

"Get his ass Iida!!" Mina cackled as the engines on the teen's legs spewed flames, preparing to run and help his classmates still standing

"Drag him!!" Midoriya encouraged savagely, fingers twitching "Bash his head in!"

"No." Iida replied softly "You were right Midoriya, I couldn't kill him for my brother and I dragged you all into this mess, getting you hurt in the process. I need to fix what I've done... and that means turning him in to the proper authorities."

"Still won't make much difference if he's a bit roughed up though~" Izuku tempted "Come on~ You know you want to-"

"No!" Iida repeated "I need to protect my classmates. I let my own revenge blind me to what needed to be done. We're finishing this off right now, no one else is getting hurt today."

"Spoken like a true hero!" Midoriya praised, shooting to his feet and firing several plasma blasts at the shocked villain. Mina got up immediately after him, slinging acid at Stain while the remaining three kept him distracted and unable to fight back properly

"How?!!" Stain yelled as he blocked a vicious kick from Midoriya, a blade slicing off the cloth mask and sending it fluttering to the ground "You shouldn't be able to move yet, even with O blood!"

"You really shouldn't lick random blades you find on the floor you idiot!!" Izuku mocked with a dangerous gleam in his eyes and a wide, feral grin "You never know what might be on them~" Stain looked angry as he realized what had happened

"You poisoned me" he hissed, dodging a punch from Mina and a spear of ice from Todoroki

"Give it up for the Stain man!!" Midoriya whooped as he somersaulted away from a sword swing, giddy and cocky "He finally knows he's been bamboozled by the great Harakaru!!"

"It works?!" Bakugo shouted, beginning to smile and getting in dangerously close to explode the man, not caring about the cuts he received in the process "Oh hell yeah!!"

"We got at least ten minutes everyone lets wrap this up!!" Izuku shouted to the still confused teens as he perched on a dumpster, quickly taking control of the chaotic scenario "Todoroki! Make sure he doesn't run off! Iida and Mina! You guys go low while Kacchan and I go high!!" the teens lept into action, immediately bombarding the villain with attack after attack

"Damn he's good" Bakugo noted as he paused for a moment to breathe "Even without his quirk he's able to keep up with us and doesn't care about getting hurt in the process"

"He'd better start caring soon" Midoriya huffed, running in and sparring the tired villain, keeping up with blow after blow with a baton. The boy winced as Stain's knife slashed his arm, blood running down his wrist "Hey! This suit isn't mine! You're paying for dry cleaning jerk!" the man simply ran a tongue over the bloodied blade, smiling as Izuku stiffened and he raised the sword to kill him

"You should be more careful-" Midoriya lept up and slammed steel toes into the villain's skull with a wicked smile on his face. The man staggered back, clutching his bleeding head in surprise "My quirk-"

"You really think I would get this close to you without some sort of backup plan?" Izuku giggled, spinning his baton casually, wound stinging faintly from where the quirk was trying to activate but couldn't. "Granted, it's not exactly legal, but we're level now bitch." he hissed, waving cutely goodbye as Iida drop kicked the confused Stain to the ground. A wall of ice prevented the man from rolling away and the five U.A students got closer, quirks activated and grinning as the villain cornered himself against the ice.

"The only way you'll turn me in is dead" Stain snarled, gripping his blades tightly

"I think we can work with that" Bakugo sneered, slamming a fist into a palm "Deku?"
