Tea Man was a hero with an unpredictable quirk like Tamaki Amajiki. His power would change depending on the type of tea he drank. Deku glared at him or at least in the direction he felt that Tea-man was in. With the smoke and sparks flying it was difficult to pinpoint the exact location. Deku quickly caught on that somehow one of the teas that Tea-man had drank was allowing him to hide from Shadow Sight. Deku blocked a punch from Kacchan and held his fists before pushing him away. Deku's eyes started darting around the explosions being set up trying to pick up on the pink haired hero's location.

For the second time Deku was struck, this time in the ribs. While Deku was distracted for a split second Kacchan took this opportunity to land a blow on Deku's face. His cheek stung and he could feel a slight burn from Kacchans heated fist. Deku hissed slightly in pain and part in annoyance. He counted himself lucky that Kacchan did not ignite the fist as it landed. Deku could guess why; Kacchan just wanted to give him a good ol' fashion punch in the face. Deku brushed his cheek with the back of his hand. And herd an annoying whisper in his ear.

"You deserved that."

"Shut up." He snapped back in his mind at the invisible voice.

Kacchan launched upward while Deku took a step back and adjusted his legs into a firm stance. He was preparing to counter attack as Kacchan came down thrusting a palm of fire. Deku put his arms over his face in an X shape softening the blow and as the explosion what at it's most intense he quickly threw his hands to his side dispersing the heat and the energy. Then he pivoted to the left to avoid contact with Kacchan. He watched as the shadow fell then the real body following after. Kacchan was falling face first but he put another hand out and set off another explosion scorching the pavement. The blast gave him enough momentum to flip in the air and land on his feet. With his back towards Deku it was a perfect opportunity to strike.

At least it was until a kick knocked Deku out of his stance. Again, the action wasn't enough to hurt him but annoy him and distract him. By the time Deku had refocused on Kacchan he was repeatedly blasting the ground and his surrounding to stir up dust and smoke. Deku resigned turning off Shadow Sight to conserve energy and avoid getting a splitting headache. That was a draw back of the quirk Deku had discovered. Use it too long and you'll have a hard time getting rid of a nasty migraine. Besides Deku was sure he could win without it. Otherwise what was all his training for?

Deku crept down placing his palm on the ground, he let his power run through his arms and into his legs, blasting upwards and bouncing of the ceiling at a remarkable speed. As he used Full-Crowl the marketplace seemed to spin. As Deku hit the ground the area below him shattered slightly kicking up a little bit of dust but in the wave of wind most of the dust was blown away along with the smoke screen Kacchan had stirred up.

Kacchan's eyebrow flinched and then tightened into a knot as he continued to attack ruthlessly. On blast after another. Without flinching or the slightest hesitation Deku blocked and countered with similar speed. Both testing their strength against each other. At first they seemed evenly matched but slowly it became clear to all that Deku was stronger and that he was only using a fraction of his actual power.

This was most obvious to Kacchan and it enraged him, "Stop underestimating me!"

Deku smirked, how childish. "I'm not underestimating you. I'm belittling you."

Some colorful words escaped Kacchan's mouth as the deliberate stalemate continued. Deku was in complete and total control of the battle. Even as Tea Man joined in (against kacchan's threrats) Deku still countered both attackers effortlessly.

Tea Man's retreated temporarily drinking an already mixed tea to allow himself to move with strength. As he rejoined the new power threw off Deku's momentum by throwing him back into a wall. Deku didn't expect the power so it caught him by surprise. Kacchan dashed to the wall that Deku was pulling himself out of. He threw blasts at the cornered Deku occasionally landing some of the punches. When the impacts connected some of it absorbed by Deku's new suit, the rest a burning sensation on his cheek. The Tea-man, who had forced Deku back, retreated again and was in the process at making another drink or perhaps pulling one out.

Deku refused to let him have another chance to catch him acting so carless again. He had also grown board of playing around with them. "Let's end this shall we?" Deku smoothly offered but instead was greeted with another blast.

He tilted his head so that the fiery fist landed next to his face and into the wall instead of Deku's flesh. The hits from earlier were starting to swell slightly and were turning a purplish color. It would be best to get some ice on it as soon as possible. Deku already understood their attack pattern. In fact it wasn't hard to figure out. It was simple; Kacchan would attack and while Deku was countering Tea Man would try to find an opening.

Angry at Deku's nonchalance Kacchan clutched Deku's shirt while growling. "Sounds good to me." Kacchan huffed through gritted teeth and sent a blast in childhood friend's direction.

Deku smiled catching the exploding fist in one hand, once again power rushed around his body and he easily pushed Kacchan away, sending him flying in the opposite direction of Deku. Following that action, he watched the Pro Hero moved to distract Deku until Kacchan could recover. Deku captured Tea Man's attack. In an easy moment he flipped the hero around and slammed his body to the ground. His strength crushing Tea Man's wrists and the twist dislocating his shoulders. Tea Man howled in pain tears spilling from his eyes. His pride disappearing in a drowning sensation of pain and tears and a horrible inhuman wailing that the pink-haired hero didn't realize was coming from his own throat. In another swift movement Deku decided to pushed the twisted arm down, cleanly snaping it. Deku gently placed the hand down as if it were a glass jar. Some remnant of pity or sympathy telling him he couldn't just drop the mangled mess he created. He had broken, shattered, and dislocated the arm rendering it virtually useless but at least this nuisance would no longer get in his way.

Deku stepped over the body to catch a fist speeding towards him. This time he gripped the fist tightly halting Kacchan's momentum. In the same motion Deku kicked his childhood friend's stomach knocking him to the ground beside his partner as one of his gauntlet cracked.

"ARAHH!" Kacchan shouted enraged Firing a blast backwards in a futile attempt to attack Deku. The fire erupted next to his face but did not touch his skin.

Deku grabbed the extended blasting arm and stepped on Kacchan's stomach insuring that he could not move. Then he repeated the twisting movement he had done seconds ago to dislocating Kacchan's shoulder. Unlike Tea Man Kacchan didn't scream, he just gritted his teeth together. He glared with bitter hatred at Deku. Deku placed the arm down, this time his knee was pressed to Kacchan's chest.

While he was kneeling, he leaned in close to Kacchan's ear. "How does it feel to lose to me, to a villain?" Deku stood up and in a tease lightly stepped on Kacchan's head. "How disappointing."

Deku stepped away and begun to leave quietly; in a last attempt to provoke Deku Kacchan spoke, "Why don't you just kill us."

Deku stopped but didnot turn around. With his back to Kacchan he answered "Maybe I don't wantto get my new suit dirty..." there was a slight pause and in a lower tone hecontinued "or perhaps it was out of sentimentality." Deku looked over hisshoulder, "next time I won't be so nice."


Me sitting in the corner after finishing this chapter at midnight... Deku WTF!!! That is soo mean and savage, like OOOFFFF I know your a villain now but that was just mean.  I miss my cute baby T.T But I also love my SINnamon roll.
