Shinigami (Vigilante Deku Au)

Final Round - Chapter 33

Deku's Pov

I giggled, gidy and excited. I was seated in the prep rooms, waiting for my match with Bakugo to start. I was a little tired, because of my healed rib. It takes energy to heal, and I am so tired. Recovery Girl's quirk speeds up the healing process, meaning that the energy lost during the healing process is taken suddenly. You can usually get rid of that tired feeling with an energy bar or some coffee, but I didn't have time. "This is the final match everyone! This is the match that determines the winner. Will it be Izuku Midoriya, who has shown that the quirkless aren't people to mess with? He has broken many of the other student's bones, and fought with his own broken rib. His opponent, Katsuki Bakugo, has taken down opponents with relative ease. Will the quirkless kid, who has something to prove, come out on top? Or will Bakugo steal that win out from under him?" I heard papa say through the speakers. I was finally released when they called my name. I giggled evilly and walked towards the platform. I had analyzed Bakugo's previous fights, so I got a handle on his tactics. Even though it doesn't seem like it, very rarely does Kacchan make a move without thinking about it.

I got into a fighting stance, ready to be tossed around like a rag-doll while dealing major damage to my opponent. Bakugo strives in air combat, but that doesn't mean he's bad at combat on the ground either. I just have to try to keep my stamina up while trying to win quickly. I turned to look at Kacchan slightly nervous. You couldn't tell by his expressions, but the slight sweat let me know that he was nervous as well. We both turned to look at Midnight, waiting for the start of the match. The shout rang out, and I propelled forward, expecting Kacchan to stay on his side. Kacchan shot forward, grabbing onto my arm in the process. He launched me into the air, just using my arm, and a loud pop rang out. I twisted myself in the air, landing on my feet a few meters away from Kacchan. I looked over to my arm, which stung a bit, and noticed how it hung lower than usual. Kacchan's face was pale as he stared at my arm, which was out of socket. I tried moving it, but I ended up just moving my shoulder forward. I lifted my good arm, feeling around the top of my arm. Finding what I needed, I popped the arm back into place. Kacchan's face turned green as another loud pop rang through the arena. I swung my arm, making sure it works properly, before grabbing Kacchan and slamming him into the ground.

Kacchan snapped out of his daze and flipped us over. Laying under him, I kneed him in the back. He coughed and lost hold of my arms. I flipped us over, shot up, and threw Kacchan. He used his explosions to redirect himself and come flying at me. I didn't have any time to react. He barreled into me, taking me to the ground and knocking the air out of my lungs. He landed on top of me again, pinning me in place while I struggled to breathe. My movements became frantic as I had flashbacks to the LOV.

Flashback

I laid strapped to a table, burnt and disintegrated skin handing from my arms and legs. I laid still, afraid of what would happen if I moved. Shigaraki walked in the room as a blond followed him. "Midoriya, this is Toga. Toga, Midoriya. Anyway, have fun with him." He said, waving his hand behind his head and exiting the room. Toga's eyes lit up as she pulled multiple knives out of who knows where. She stalked towards me and I was sitting there for what felt like an hour getting skin chopped off. Finally, she finished. She looked up at my face and giggled. My throat was raw from screaming, so when she dug the tip of the knife back into my skin, I couldn't scream. She went as deep as she could without nicking anything important and killing me. I laid on that table for hours as Toga cut me, stabbed me, and licked me repeatedly.

Deku's Pov

My entire body went slack and my eyes became dead. My opponent released their hold a bit and I kneed them as hard as I could. They flew forward, landing in an area above my head. I heard them coughing, but I didn't stop. I launched my foot into their side, sending them a few feet away from me. My opponent struggled to stand, but they managed. An explosion neared my face and I dodged. Next came a fist. I flung myself out of the way and punched their side at full force. My punch knocked my opponent on their side. I closed in on them and flipped him on his back. I go in for a punch and explosions erupted in my face. I flew backwards and landed flat on my back. The shock and pain running through my body snapped me back to the fight. The LOV doesn't have me. There's no reason to kill my opponent. My opponent. I looked to my opponent and saw a bruised, beaten, and bloody Kacchan. Kacchan.
