My Sword Is Yours

chapter 3: Time To Grow Up

3rd person pov:

As bakugou hears the crowd, he is trying to give him directions on where aizawa is. He clears his mind. As he knows, the crowd would mislead him. So he thinks back to his training.

Baku:"Why do I have to learn every style of fighting? You know I hate the retiarius style. The net is a cheap trick."

As bakugou holds the trident and net. Aizawa uses a large heavy shield that covers his right arm and helmet. To fight with.

Aiz:"You must learn how every fighter type handles. Only then will you truly know its weakness. Should the emperor order you to fight in a style that you aren't familiar with. You will surely die. I want you to win every fight. That's why I'm training you. Now get ready for some heavy hits."

Bakugou comes back to reality and takes a deep breath to calm his nerves. He then listens to the dirt and feels the air around him change.

Aizawa steps to Bakugou's side. Yet the crowd tells him the wrong direction while laughing.

Bakugou follows the crowd and turns his back to aizawa.

Aiz:"I thought I taught you better than this."

As aizawa throws the net. Bakugou slides his feet on the ground. Turned to face aizawa.

Shouta uses his trident to pierce bakugou. Only for the young warrior to squat down low. Using his metal helmet to deflect the weapon up and away.  Bakugou leaps up with enough speed to point his short sword at aizawa's throat. Flicking the blade to put a scratch on his chin. Causing the crowd to cheer.

Baku:"What was that you said? Heh!"

Aiz:"You still have much to learn. On this stage. Blood must be shed and by the end. One of us will die. You have two more chances. Should you fail to kill me. I won't hesitate to end you. "

Bakugou stands still while aizawa walks away. That's when a guard walks up to unlock and take Bakugou's helmet off.  It's at this moment that some of the ladies in the crowd whistle and cat call at bakugou. He ignors them and grabs the spear out of the guards hand.

Baku:"Bring on the beasts."

Aizawa puts on his chest plate and grabs a long sword. As they face one another for battle. Three lions are released on them.

As aizawa comes at him. The lions draw in to ambush.

So bakugou uses his spear to jump high up by stabb8ng it into the ground and jumping from the tip of the handle. As he flies through the air. He grabs the spear and impales it into a lion's head. From there, he spins the weapon to splatter blood on aizawa. That draw a the attention to his master. Both lions come in to attack. Aizawa slides under one of the beasts and slices its stomach open. When he stands up on the other side of the beast. The other lion lunges over the corps after him. Only for bakugou to kill it by piercing it in the heart.

The beast falls beside aizawa as bakugou stands on a body.

Baku:"My two verses, your one."

Aizawa knows bakugou has a reach advantage. So he moves in quickly to clear the gap. Only to see bakugou dodge the first strike by bend8ng back.

As bakugou does a backflip away. His legs grip aizawa and flip him as well. Throwing him master. As aizawa tries to catch himself from the fall. His sword manages to cut deep into his right eye. Bakugou's smug smile fades when he sees his master bleeding.

As bakugou goes to take a step forward. Two guards call to the next match. Taking Bakugou's spear, aizawa's armor, and his sword.

Bakugou goes to speak in concern. However, aizawa stands up and pats his head.

Aiz:"Not bad. Now, the real fight can begin. I have no doubt you'll be a better fighter than I. Show me what you got bakugou Katsuki."

Bakugou is given two swords. While aizawa wasn't given anything.

Baku:"What the hell is this? You call this a fair fight!?"

Aiz:"It would be fair.... if they had given you a sword and shield with full armor."

Aizawa takes off his left boot to reveal a wooden leg. Then, aizawa pops off the cap to reveal a polished and sharpened blade that shines in the sunlight like a star in the night sky. Stunning bakugou at its beauty.

Baku:"Why didn't you ever tell me?"

Aiz:"A fighter always hides at least one trick to their future appinents."
Baku:"So you knew all along that this would happen? Then why save me?...... WHY RAISE ME LIKE I WAS YOUR SON!?"

Aiz:"I did it because I was bored."

As bakugou flects on memories, they share happy times. Like pranking one another, times they helped one another when they got sick. Fighting together while training. Bakugou is brought out of thought when aizawa jumps up and with a spin kick. Bakugou tries blocking it with both blades. Only to be flung by the power behind the blade. Bakugou slides and rolls across the field. Once he tries to sit up and process what just happened. He sees a shadow above him.

Aiz:"I won't give you time to rest!"

Bakugou rolls to avoid each stab to his head. Holding his blades close to his chest.

As bakugou rolls. He catches a glimpse of something. So he throws a sword at aizawa, who catches it.

Aiz:"How foolish. You gave your enemy another weapon."

As aizawa uses the blade on his leg to stab at bakugou again.

The blonde uses his free hand to grab the blade. Slicing his hand.

Baku:"I did it to make it a fair fight!"

With his other hand gripping a sword. Bakugou cuts the leather strap that holds the leg on. Giv8ng bakugou a chance to stand up. He then throws the leg far away to the edge of the field.

Baku:"Single blade combat sound fair to me. Wouldn't you agree, Aizawa?"

The teacher smirks and readies himself for the final stand. With a strong leap forward. Bakugou charges in for a final strike.

The crowd goes silent.

Only one has a sword through the chest.

An old hand with many scars drops the sword. A metalic ting rings out. As a hero of the people falls in battle.

Aizawa caughs up blood. While bakugou pants with heavy breath. While gritting his teeth in sarrow. Not wanting to shed a tear in his master's last moments.

Aiz:"I lied to you before. I took you in because I saw a child in need. One that had the strength to make his dreams come true. Don't let him take your spark...... snuff that basterd out for me will ya? He took someone precious to me aswell."^See you soon All Might.^

With a ruffle of Bakugou's hair. Aizawa soon goes limp in his adopted son's arms.

Bakugou gently sets aizawa down and goes to get his leg. Guards move in to stop him. For fear of a dishonored attack on the body. Only for Bakugou to lay the blade on him like a tresured keepsake.

Bakugou raises a fist to speak.

Baku:"A warrior worth the title has left us on this day! Let us remember him as the living legend he was! May your next journey be happier than the one before."

As guards take aizawa's body away. Bakugou walks back into his cell without chains needed.
