"Run Izuku, I'll hold them off! Take Round Face and go!" Katsuki yelled, hands pushing at a tattered green costume.
"Katsuki, no!"
"Fuck off dimwit, look at the situation! She's out like a light, and I won't be able to carry her and move fast enough to escape! I'll meet up with you at the next rest stop, just GO!"
The blonde bomber watched his childhood friend finally make up his mind and nod to him, green lightning sparking up just moments before he leaped away.
Katsuki watched with sad eyes. They both knew the chances they'd see eachother again were nonexistent.
"Take care of eachother you sappy fuckers." He muttered after the retreating green glow, half turned to the ever advancing horde of mindless Nomu.
A screeching howl drew his attention to the wall of bio engineered monsters, clambering over one another to get to him faster. Katsuki felt a familiar smirk pull his lips apart, his teeth bared in a determined snarl.
Win to save and save to win.
"COME AT ME YOU FUCKERS!!" He roared, titanic explosions cascading over his entire body. "Your opponent is me! The Great Explosion Murder God, Dynamight!"
There was a brilliant flash of light, a roar like the world was ending, and the screams of a thousand Nomu being incinerated at once.
______
Katsuki fought.
For how long, he didn't know, but he fought.
More and more undead, mindless scum came at him, screeching and screaming, howls of agony and rage, glee and warning echoing around him.
Katsuki fought.
His hero costume was torn and burnt, bloodied and battered.
Katsuki fought.
The unrelenting Nomu never gave ground, never gave in, never backed down, never stopped coming at him.
Katsuki fought.
His bicep was cut by a blade at one point, but Katsuki fought on. Whenever he felt hunger pangs he ran and hid to stuff whatever he had into his mouth just to keep fighting.
Katsuki fought.
The next time he looked at the cut on his arm, it was already starting to scab over. How long had he been doing this? How long had he been fighting? Why was he fighting? For someone? Who-?
Unnecessary thoughts of who and why were thrown away, all he needed to know was that he was right and the Nomu were wrong.
Katsuki Fought.
Another Nomu, another explosion, another half second of rest. Another Nomu, another explosion, another second of rest. Another Nomu, another explosion, another two seconds of rest-
Katsuki stopped fighting.
There was no-one left to fight.
The boy- man- Hero, looked back.
He stood atop a mountain of twice-dead corpses. Behind him, there stretched a mountain range, reaching to the horizon and beyond.
How many hundreds of thousands of Nomu had he killed?
How many millions?
A familiar smirk tugged at his lips.
"Take that you damn Nerd." His voice cracked from disuse. "I'll always be Number One..."
It all came rushing back.
Izuku. Ochako. They'd ran away while he held off the horde. Had they escaped? Had any Nomu gotten past him to them? He didn't think so, but all he really remembered was blood and death.
How long had it been? Where were they now?
Why hadn't Fuck Hands McMike come for him?
Katsuki stumbled down the mountain of monster corpses, running as quickly as he could in the direction the mountain range had been growing towards. There, they had to be there.
The crusty fucker had gone after them while he was being killed by the Nomu.
He wasn't sure how long he ran, propelled by explosions greater than he remembered being able to make. When had that happened?
He found them. An explosion of air pressure in the distance had drawn him to them, helping him arrive just in time to watch Uravity get turned into a pile of blood soaked dust. Her helmet fell onto her remains, sending particles flying off in the wind.
Izuku fell to his knees.
"Izuku!" He croaked, his voice cracked and broken, nowhere near the volume he'd once had.
He blasted himself forwards, somehow without drawing either of their attention. Fuck Hands Mgee was too focused on Deku, while the Nerd was catatonic.
It's up to you Dynamight. Blast that fucker straight to hell!
"DIE!" He screeched, throat tearing apart to alert the villain of his imminent death.
Izuku moved.
Katsuki swung and blasted.
All for Tomura was torn in two as the air itself split apart, his chunks of body burned to a crisp and cauterised by Katsuki's explosion.
The world went white.
And Katsuki Bakugo launched himself up and out of bed in a cold sweat, taking deep, calming breaths.
"What the fuck was that..?" He gasped, sweat dripping from his fingers.
"That looked like the crusty hand guy from the USJ..."
