"Deku! Take east!"
Midoriya nodded at his instructions, splitting off from Bakugou and running in the eastern direction. He pumped himself forward with his quirk, speeding him up until he had enough energy to jump. He rolled to land properly and leapt to his feet, looking around and nodding to himself as he realised he was on top of the building he needed to be at. He took a deep breath and crouched down, the power of One For All running through his veins. He counted to three in his head and, using his quirk, punched the air.

Somewhere on the other side of the large stadium, filled with robots and the four students, Bakugou looked up. All three of them looked up, for all three of them noticed.
Bakugou smirked.

Somewhere quote close to Midoriya, Todoroki and Yaoyorozu saw the punch. All three of them did. No one could miss it, really.
"Momo, that's Midoriya. You know how much he damages himself when he uses his quirk, he'll be weakened. Now's our chance. He's probably fighting one of the robots." Todoroki told her. The other nodded, joining the double-coloured boy towards Midiroya. Little did they know, they'd fallen right into Bakugou's plan, very neatly.

Midoriya was hidden snugly, silent and unmoving as he watched Todoroki and Yaoyorozu ran towards where he was. A small smirk played on his lips, seeing how easily this was playing out... it might've been too easy. He just hoped Bakugou could do his part on time. He was just wondering how the hot-headed male could think up such a tactful plan so quickly when he heard Todoroki's voice.
"I'll freeze out the entire area so that he gets stuck. He can't have run away or we would've seen him. Can you make some sort of radar with your quirk?" He asked Yaoyorozu, who nodded and stood to the side to concentrate. Midoriya quickly had to remake the plan in his mind, powering up One For All in his hidey-hole. He watched as Todoroki stepped forward, his side freezing up as it prepared itself for the large amount of ice it needed to produce.
"3..." he heard Todoroki murmur.
"2..."
"1!" Midoriya cut in with a yell, jumping up as high as he could right on cue as the duo-coloured boy froze their surroundings. Midoriya focused on not letting the egg explode as he punched downwards, sending his opponents flying. He managed to land without damaging himself too much and fumbled with the walkie-talkie he'd been given.
"Kacchan! Ice had to tweak the plan a bit, but things should be relatively back to normal now."
"Ugh, fine. I'm nearly done with my part, keep them distracted for as long as you can and I'll be over asap!" Bakugou's voice came crackling through the device.
"On it! We can do this, Kacchan!"
"Whatever, shit nerd. I just want to destroy that Half 'N Half bastard. I'll see you soon." And with that, the line ended and Midoriya's pursuers were back on his tail. Even though he could more or less control the aftermath of pain from his quirk usage, it wouldn't hold out forever. So he started running. He was far enough ahead that he could run at his ordinary human pace, but was just trying to shake Todoroki and Yaoyorozu off of his trail long enough for him to power up and take another large leap to blow them away.
He took deep breaths as he rounded corners, zigzagging through streets and all the while trying to memorise the route in his head. Midoriya had to stop, however, at a dead end. He looked over his shoulder to see the two competitors closing in on him rather slowly. Oh, how much they didn't know they were helping him.
Midoriya silently started to power up his quirk, keeping his back to them to make it seem like he was cowering in fear. He'd played them the fool. How laughable.
"Got you now, son of All Might.." He heard Todoroki purr. That was not laughable. Todoroki believed Midoriya was All Might's son as he'd made the connection that their quirks were similar. He'd tried to talk the calmer out of believing it, but he couldn't.
"What?" Confusion was laced in Yaoyorozu's voice and she dropped her guard for just a second. Bingo. Midoriya whipped around and drew his fist back sharply.
"Buh-bye~!" Now it was Midoriya's turn to purr. He punched forward, every ounce of energy sending the two of them sprawling back against a wall.
And that's when everything fell black.
