The sweat storm started.

Midoriya couldn't believe it. She would be battling the person who probably hated her the most on the face of the planet. But, Bakugo on the other hand, was somehow beyond happy. He finally got a chance to beat up Midoriya with an excuse, and he wasn't going to hold back, at all.

"Villains, you have five minutes to figure out where you'll place your bomb, and heroes, you have that time to strategize!" All Might told the four students, and then turned to the sixteen that were left, "Everyone else -- follow me!"

They followed All Might and talked about random things, while Midoriya, Uraraka, Iida and Bakugo walked to the designated building for the exercise. It was unbelievably silent betwwen the four, and that gave Midoriya extra time to think of a plan, and that's when she saw it.

The gauntlets on Bakugo's wrist.

Bakugo was much smater than he lead on to believe, and Midoriya knew the gauntlets weren't just for decoration. She couldn't tell what they did quite yet, but, she knew they didn't do anything good. She kept this in mind as they stood in front of a beat down office building, waiting for the five minute head start for the villains. Bakugo gave one last 'I'll beat your ass', before walking in with Iida.

As soon as they were out of ear-shot, Midoriya turned to Uraraka to tell her the plan she had.

"Uraraka, I want you to know that Kacchan hates my guts, and is certainly going to take this chance to attack me. He isn't one for working with other people, especially those like Iida-kun," Midoriya said in a hushed voice. It was a high chance that Bakugo would come to her, leaving behind Iida to guard the bomb. And that was exactly what she was counting on. "Trust me when I say he'll come straight for me, and that'll be your chance to get away and locate the bomb. Iida-kun will be there, guarding it, and it'll be up to you to get it. I'll try to get to you if I can, but Kacchan is strong, so I'm not sure if I can. But, keep calm, and don't panick. Anything you want to add?"

"Actually..."

"All right, your five minutes are up."

All Might had given them ear pieces, so they could contact their teammates if they got separated, and so All Might himself could contact them as well.

"Three, two, one, go!"

Midoriya gave Uraraka a quick nod, before grasping her forearms tightly, Uraraka returning the favor. They both took a deep breath, readying themselves, before Midoriya started spinning, lifting the rosy cheeked girl into the air. The greenete's arms cackled with energy, and she threw her partner into the air.

Uraraka sailed upwards, reaching the top of the building before activating her quirk. She floated down like a feather, looking closely through the windows. She landed with a thud next to Midoriya, and mouthed fifth floor to her. They gave each other yet another nod, before they ran in, their foot steps unheard.

By this point, they were on the second floor, and were getting closer to the stairs. They were about to round a corner, when a scream came from a few halls down.

"DAMN DEKU! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?"

Bakugo.

Midoriya's instincts kicked in, and she quickly pulled Uraraka back, effectively pressing both of them flat against the wall. Green curls whipped back and forth, sea green eyes darting up and down the hall, looking for anything that might help them. And that's when Midoriya noticed the shiny elevator doors, closed for who knows how long.

In the quietest voice she could muster, Midoriya spoke to Uraraka, "If we could get those doors open, you'd be able to get to the fifth floor. Do you think you'll be able to open them though?"
