Beyond The Blast (Bkdk)

The Legacy Of Shadows

The crimson eyes of the holographic woman, a chilling echo of Midoriya's own, burned into their minds. Her words, "You possess a power far greater than you can imagine," echoed in the salty night air. Midoriya's world tilted on its axis. His mother? But how? Why?

Suddenly, a shrill ringing erupted from
Bakugo's pocket. He scrambled to answer the call, his face hardening as he listened. His only response was a growled, "We're on our way," before slamming the phone shut."They have your mom," Bakugo stated, his voice tight with barely controlled fury.Midoriya's heart hammered in his chest. His mother, the woman who raised him with endless love and unwavering support, was in danger. He felt a surge of rage, a primal urge to protect her, but it was quickly overshadowed by a chilling dread.

"It was the same organization," Bakugo continued, his eyes blazing. "They said... they said it has something to do with your quirk, Deku." The pieces clicked into place. The shadowy villain, the mysterious message, the woman in the hologram - it was all connected to One for All, his quirk.
"We need to go," Midoriya said, his voice resolute despite the tremor in his legs. He knew the danger they were facing, but saving his mother was all that mattered.

Their journey took them on a clandestine path, following a trail of cryptic clues left on Bakugo's phone. The clues led them to a derelict warehouse on the outskirts of the city, a place shrouded in shadows and an oppressive silence. As they snuck through the building, the memories of the villain's shadowy quirk sent shivers down their spines.

Every rustle of leaves, every creak of a floorboard seemed amplified, adding to their growing tension. Finally, they reached a large, open room bathed in an ominous red light. In the center, bound and unconscious, was Inko Midoriya. And standing over her, a sinister smile playing on his lips, was the villain they had just defeated.

But something was different. His eyes, once filled with darkness, now glowed a bright crimson, mirroring the eyes of the woman in the hologram. The shadowy tendrils that previously surrounded him now pulsed with an unnatural red energy.
"You've come," the villain rasped, his voice distorted and laced with a hint of amusement. "But you're too late."

As Midoriya and Bakugo charged towards him, a wave of red energy erupted from the villain, engulfing the entire room. They were caught in a vortex of shadows and swirling red light, disoriented and separated.Midoriya stumbled through the darkness, calling out for his mother, for Bakugo. The shadows mocked him, twisting and writhing around him like malevolent serpents.

He felt a searing pain erupt in his arm, a product of the villain's new, corrupted quirk.Just as he was about to succumb to the darkness, a flash of crimson light cut through the shadows. Bakugo, his eyes burning with a fiery intensity similar to the villain's, stood before him.
"Don't worry, Deku," Bakugo growled, his voice strained but unwavering. "We'll get out of this... together."

Their teamwork, forged in countless battles, kicked in instinctively. Midoriya, despite his injury, used his agility to maneuver around the shadows, creating openings for Bakugo's explosive attacks. Bakugo, fueled by a rage he couldn't explain, used his quirk in a way he never had before, infusing his explosions with a crimson energy that seemed to counter the villain's shadowy attacks.

The battle was brutal. They were pushed to their limits, their bodies screaming in protest. But the thought of their loved ones, Inko and the woman Bakugo subconsciously felt a connection to, spurred them on. Finally, with a combined attack fueled by desperation and a newfound power, they overpowered the villain. He collapsed, the red energy dissipating, revealing his true form - a young man with a haunted look in his eyes.
Midoriya rushed to his mother's side, relief washing over him as he checked her pulse.

She was alive, but unconscious. Bakugo stood guard against the defeated villain, a deep scowl etched on his face. Their victory felt hollow. The mysteries surrounding the organization, their quirks, and the woman in the hologram remained unanswered. And a new fear gnawed at Midoriya's heart - the fear that the crimson energy Bakugo wielded might be connected to the darkness they had just
