The Assassin's Heroic Mission [TEMPORARY HOLD]

Chapter 16

As the five minutes had passed, Izuku and Ochaco went into the building, Izuku aware of what the villain team would probably be doing due to how long he had known Bakugo and his tendencies to do what he'd like. Not only that, but the fact that he was trained as an assassin helped immensely.

"What do you think they're going to be doing?" Ochaco asked. Izuku did a quick checkover of his gear as he answered.

"Probably going to be splitting up. Kacchan is probably going to be going after me while Iida is stuck watching the bomb. So, you go look for the bomb and Iida while I deal with Kacchan." Ochaco nodded as she ran off, doing as instructed by her partner.

As she left, Izuku ducked, noticing a large grenade-like gauntlet swing above his head. A growl came from behind and Izuku turned around to be met with his "childhood friend" if you could call it that.

"I knew you'd come after me. I also figured that you'd try to pull a sneak attack on me. Try to catch me by surprise I'm guessing? Well, that's not going to work on me anymore," Izuku sighed.

A large fist-fight engaged, with each jab and punch Bakugo threw, a kick or jab was made in return. It was a pretty even match. Bakugo jumped back, giving space between the two childhood "friends."

"Kacchan. I've known you for so long, After seeing you in so many fights, I realized that you always start out with a right hook! I know because most times I'm the one who was being beaten!" Izuku exclaimed.

"Hah?" Bakugou quirked an eyebrow, his face morphing to show off a look of annoyance.

"That's right! I've analyzed a lot of heroes, you included!" I wanted to know and learn everything I could! It was all in the notebook you burnt! The one I held before leaving Aldera!" He continued, "You can call me Deku, but I'm not the same useless, defenseless kid you once knew! You hear that? I've changed! From now on, Deku is the name of a hero!"

"You're shaking in your boots. You're scared! Yet you want to fight me! That's why I hate you!" Bakugo screamed. Although, he lied in a way. Izuku wasn't shaking. He wasn't scared. It was the way Bakugo thought of Izuku that made that illusion. Izuku was calm and stood firm. He wasn't going to let Bakugo pull him down. Not anymore.
