Gaz vs Bakugo - New Friends?

For combat training, Aizawa paired everyone in groups. Luckily, Mineta was feeling sick that day so 20 students divided evenly. Sadly I was paired with Bakugo. Each fight had a time limit of five minutes. Aizawa told us he would intervene if it went too far. After watching everyone's fights, Bakugo and I were last. I decided to turn this into an opportunity to prove I was worthy of his friendship. I figured that if I lost, I wouldn't be worth his time. If I won, he would just get pissed off with me. There was a certain method to his madness of how to earn his respect and I was determined to figure it out. Due to the U.A. sport's festival, I assumed he was still mad with me and was ready to "put me in my place."

Soon enough it was our time to step up. With our costumes on, senses tightened, and eyes focused, we waited for the whistle. As soon as we heard it, we both took the sky. His flight was sporadic while mine was smooth. Since the festival, my flight time increased dramatically. It was practically a dog fight. One person would fire an attack and the other would dodge. At one point, he chased me and grabbed me by the ankle. Before I could use my quirk to blast him off, he used his quirk on my leg, sending several shocks up my leg to my body. The vibrations from the explosion made my body tingle and my leg sear in pain. I aimed a hand at him and blasted his face with a rush of air, ripping him off of me. Before he fell on the ground, he recovered and came barreling back towards me. I was done being defensive. I turned towards him and boosted myself, causing both of us to charge head first towards each other. I wasn't shook by this game of chicken though. With my eyes in speed mode, I was easily able to keep up with him. The goggles really helped. The wind wasn't getting in my eyes and he couldn't tell what I was planning. Right before we collided, I saw him preparing his right hand for a frontal explosion. I raised both arms. Using my quirk on my left hand, I blasted his right side so he couldn't use it to attack and grabbed him by the face with my right hand, covering his mouth with my palm. I noticed pain on his face when I blasted him. He knew immediately what I was about to do. Just as I was about to pump some gas into him, he used his free hand to blast me in the stomach. I went soaring into the roof of the gym, getting stuck. He launched himself towards me, ready to strike my exposed body. I managed to pry myself free just as his fist connected with the ceiling. As he grunted in pain, I used my quirk to boost my strikes and began to try hand-to-hand. Even though I used my quirk to boost my strikes, he seemed tough enough to block them and tank them.

"I guess his quirk destroyed his body to the point where he's tougher than the average person." I thought to myself. "Our quirks are quite similar but he's trained harder than me, destroying his body and rebuilding it."

My first strike was a powerful kick that was intended for his head. He raised an arm to block and I responded with a punch before he could counter. His body may have been more powerful, but my mind was more advanced. I was several steps ahead of him. My punch connected with his cheek but despite my best efforts, either he was good at masking his pain or it didn't hurt all that much. He responded by grabbing my shirt and using his free hand to blast us back to the ground, similarly to the way he ended the fight with Midoriya. As we crashed into the arena, I felt a wave of pain cover my body from head to toe. Bakugo had me pinned as we both were panting.

"It's over dork..." He said between breaths.

I laughed. "Or so you think."

I used my quirk on the entire front of my body, causing him to fly in the air. He used his quirk to catch himself. As he landed on the ground, I stood up. We stared at each other from opposite ends of the arena. I opened my arms and began to use my quirk to create a tornado. Bakugo did the same and began to make his signature fire tornado. As we both spun in place, I couldn't help but feel my body trying to tear apart.

"This must be what Bakugo feels when he uses that move." I thought.

I didn't know it at the time but apparently nobody else knew that I could do this. They were all trying not to get sucked into our unnatural disasters.
