Chapter 13: Burning Ruins

Chapter 13: Burning Ruins.

/

Bakugo didn't have time to stop when the portal opened in front of him. He plunged through it, finding himself for a few moments in a dark abyss, before being spit out by another portal. The explosive blond rolled on the ground for three meters before getting up, looking around...

Where was he?

Around him, collapsed buildings extended in every direction, debris scattered the ground, crushing cars or signs, everything around him was in ruins, destroyed, broken. He was in the ruins zone... But why had they thrown him there? Gunshots and screams began to echo somewhere, and Bakugo recognized them very well; it was those damn clones. He thought for a moment... If the clones were shooting, that meant there was something hostile here...

And he knew what it was.

He had a hunch, and he turned his head toward one of the buildings, whose entrance hall was shattered and littered with debris, explosions crackling in the palms of his hands.

A metallic sound echoed from inside, followed by a deep, mocking laugh.

Three figures emerged from the shadows, each wearing a smug smile.

"Finally, here's our first victim...", said the first, a tall, thin man with long black hair that seemed to float like snakes. "My name is Serpentis. Are you ready to abandon all hope?"

Next to him, a woman with short blue hair, dressed in a black and red uniform, crossed her arms.

"I'm Glacia. Don't worry, it won't take long, we'll make sure to give you a quick death..."

The third villain, a muscular colossus with a shaved head tattooed with dragons and other creatures, stepped forward, cracking his knuckles.

"And I'm Bulldozer. I'll break your bones like sticks."

Bakugo smiled savagely, the explosions in his hands intensifying.

"You really think you can beat me three against one? Cowards. You'll regret challenging me."

Without waiting for an answer, he attacked.

His hands rose, aimed at the three. There were three pops, and an explosion was fired, sending flying debris in all directions when it crashed into the building.

The deafening noise echoed in the air, momentarily drowning out the sound of distant battles. The villains dodged nimbly, but Bakugo didn't let them breathe.

He propelled himself forward, putting his hands back, using his explosions to achieve a sort of pseudo-flight. He headed straight for Serpentis, aiming for a direct hit to the head. The man dodged smoothly, inclining to the side, his hair transforming into tendrils that tried to grab the explosive blond.

They hissed as they moved quickly through the air, but Bakugo reacted instantly. An explosion directed at the ground allowed him to rise quickly, escaping the hair tendrils.

"Pathetic...", mocked Serpentis, laughing, "If the next heroes are at this level, then I pity them."

The blond emitted a beastly growl at the man. In the air, he pivoted skillfully and launched a series of explosions towards Glacia.

The woman raised her hand and created a thick ice wall, protecting herself and her colleagues. The explosion hit the ice barrier head-on in a clash of ice and fire, sending bright shards in all directions. The sound of shattering ice echoed as Bakugo had to shield himself from the fragments, sometimes as big as his head, flying everywhere.
