2 - Battle Climax

Uraraka: "Midoriya!"

Izuku: "Get back!"

Bakugo was quickly closing the distance between them, his palms already crackling with explosions.

Izuku tried to step aside to avoid the attack, but Bakugo was too fast and managed to land a strong blow on his arm. Izuku grunted in pain but managed to stay on his feet.

Bakugo: "You think you can beat me, Deku?"

Bakugo taunted as he prepared another explosion.

Izuku gritted his teeth, his arm aching from the hit. But he refused to back down.

Izuku: "Uraraka"

Uraraka nodded, ready to help.

Izuku: "Go retrieve the weapon"

Uraraka: "But what about you?"

Izuku: "I'll hold him back. Just focus on the objective. We can't let them win."

Uraraka nodded, trusting Izuku's decision. She quickly ran off, heading in the opposite direction to find the weapon.

Bakugo sneered.

Bakugo: "You really think you can handle me by yourself, Deku?"

Izuku ran off

Bakugo smirked and gave chase.

"Come on, Deku!" Bakugou's voice rang through the comms. "I'm going to wipe that pathetic look off your face!"

Deku, hidden behind a crumbling pillar, gritted his teeth. "I'm not the same kid you fought back then," he whispered to himself, his fingers twitching. He felt the envy welling up—Bakugou's raw power, his drive to always be number one, while Deku struggled with these dark emotions inside him. But it wasn't going to stop him. He let the Black Whip loose, tendrils slipping out from his arm like serpents, ready for the fight.

Bakugou didn't wait long. He blasted through the walls, his eyes locking on Deku in an instant. "I knew you'd be hiding! You're still scared of me!"

Deku didn't reply, instead launching the Black Whip toward Bakugou, aiming to bind him. The tendrils were fast, but Bakugou was faster, propelling himself sideways with an explosion. The wall behind him shattered on impact.

"Is this all you've got?!" Bakugou yelled, charging straight at Deku with an explosion-fueled dash. His hands were already glowing, ready to blast at point-blank range.

But Deku had changed. His resentment had sharpened his instincts. With a flick of his wrist, the Black Whip curved, catching Bakugou's leg mid-charge. For a split second, expression changed—shock. Deku yanked him toward the ground, slamming Bakugou into the rubble.

The 2 were always interesting to observe. Their rivalry was ... intriguing to say the least. The 2 had been friends since childhood but ever since their quirks developed — they picked different routes. Katsuki had abused his strength while Deku was more focused on the aspect of saving. Their beliefs collided when katsuki attacked a mutual friend... Deku argued than Katsuki would never be a good hero if he was just bullied kids like that and stood up to him, Katsuki took that as an insult. They've been rivals ever since...

Bakugou, still on the ground, grit his teeth, frustration and rage mixing with the pain in his body. He refused to be lectured by Deku of all people. A low growl escaped his throat as he pushed himself up to his knees, smoke curling from his palms.

"Shut your damn mouth!" Bakugou snarled, standing unsteadily. His eyes, burning with a fierce fire, met Deku's. "You think you're better than me don't you?! You're nothing but a nuisance Deku, an ant trying to fight an elephant!" His hand glowed bright, and with a deafening roar, he unleashed another explosion, larger and more intense than before.
