We All Have A Dark Side [On Hiatus]

Those Pitch Black Eyes

I'm currently behind on work amd am wasting my time doing this instead because I haven't posted in ages <3 welcome to the chapter lads

Bakugo's POV

"Shit!" I curse aloud, knowing what's happening.

That's why he shouted out 'Echo,' that must be what the quirk is.

This isn't going to be good.

I watch as the nerd moves oddly, his eyes that were previously burnt and blinded by Racoon Eyes, finally opening. Except, they're not a green like they usually are - they're pitch black. Not even a white retina - all of it, just pure black.

Before I can even dive towards him to take the shitty nerd down, more pros come running into the room. One of whom, being Snipe. Everyone knows Snipe has amazing ability with guns and never misses a shot.

I crack a smile (although I'd never admit it to anyone other than the beautiful reader. Hey love 😘) at the thought of the pros being here.

* BANG *
* BANG *
* BANG *
* BANG *

My eyes shoot directly at the gun, the noise it's firing alerting just how serious this situation actually is.

Fuck.

I look back at the stupid Deku that was in front of me but... he's gone....?

"Where the fuck did he go?!!!!" I shout, attempting to answer my own question as my eyes frantically search the room around me.

"There!" I hear pink cheeks shout. I follow where her finger is pointing and, sure enough, there he is, still dangling like a puppet but with a sinister smile.

What the fuck happened to the precious Deku I used to hang out with when we were kids? The one I wanted to protect? The one I cared for with all of my heart? My best friend? My first love? What is this... thing... in front of me...?

My thoughts are interrupted by a static-like, hysterical voice, "nice shot! Snipe was it? I've heard about you... they say you never miss a shot. I didn't think you'd shoot me in the face though...." He laughs.

What? How did I not see that? There's blood all over him and everything.

I wonder if he can see though. Yeah, sure, his eyes are pitch black - which I'm guessing is because of this 'Echo' quirk, but Racoon Eyes blinded him with her acid. Can't believe these extras were kind of useful for once.

Ugh I'm getting fed up! This is taking too long. Can't we just get this over with?

"What's the fun in that though Kachaan~"
Did he hear me just now?
"Haha didn't think you'd pick up my mumbling habit. That's the first step to villainy," he joked.

Joking? Really? At a time like this?

I could swear I wasn't mumbling, though. I don't do that annoying shit.

A distorted voice jumped into my head, "that's not a nice way to speak about an old friend."

"OLD FRIEND MY ASS! YOU'RE JUST A USELESS SHITTY DEKU THAT USED TO FOLLOW ME AROUND EVERYWHERE I WENT - L-LIKE A LOST PUPPY!" I shout, cursing at myself internally at the stutter.

He replies pretty quickly, his voice ice cold with every word, chilling me to the bone, "if I were a useless Deku, would I be able to survive 3 shots to the face and a shot to the heart?"

My eyes widen in shock as he pulls three bullets out of the side of his face, dropping each of them to the ground with a little clink.

There were four bullets, though... Where's the last?
I follow his hand as he points behind him...
It's in the floor...

"That's right Kachaan... it went straight through me, and even through the floor! But I'm still fine and well... Still think I'm a useless Deku now?"

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU! THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE THE DEKU I KNEW! HE'D NEVER LOOK LIKE THAT!" I scream at him, referring to the black, soulless eyes and absence of a bright happy face.

He steps onto the floor and walks towards me, his feet slightly dragging, still like a puppet.

The nerd clears his throat before speaking loudly to everyone, "I want to fight this blond pomeranian... if I lose, I'll surrender myself into your custody without a shred of a fight."

Eraser pipes up, about to protest, but I interrupt him, with my classic smirk "and if you somehow manage to win? Which I know you won't."

"You can all play a game of teamwork and try and take me down. It won't be easy though..."

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

"Oi! Caterpillar! Look at him! He's been torn to shreds and can barely walk. I'll win! Relax! I'll take him down without an issue."
I look at the smaller boy, "Let's do this nerd!"

I walk towards the middle of the training arena, him following behind, leaving a trail of blood with every attempted step.
If there's one thing I know about Deku, it's that he loves a challenge and that he always keeps his word.

When I get to the middle of the arena, I nod over to all of the pros and all my classmates, who are all watching intently, waiting for their chance to pounce.

Granted, I'm still in a bit of pain from before, but this is gonna be easy... I mean, considering half of his face is blown off, he's blind in both of his eyes and he has a bullet wound all the way through his chest, I could probably kill him with a single explosion.

"Ok Deku, come and get it," I taunt.

3rd Person POV

Everyone stands around the two, on guard ready to catch the greenette whenever they get the chance.

"Ok deku, come and get it," Bakugo speaks out confidently, as if he already as an entire plan set out.

What he seems to have forgotten though, is that Deku is a perfect strategist, his plans barely ever go wrong, and he's the one that wanted the fight.

"Be careful what you wish for, Kachaan."

"BEGIN!" Eraserhead shouts, a quake ever so present in his voice, indicating the fear he has for his student.

Deku takes a breath, staying steady - or as steadily stood as you can be when being controlled like a doll - and slowly exhales, putting his hands up to his chest.

Confusing everyone else, and angering Bakugo, Deku lays his palms flat.

"Stop playing around shitty Deku!" Bakugo shouts, already flying towards him from above, "FIGHT!"
