After Izuku finished explaining his plan to Todoroki, the dual haired boy nodded in affirmative. They were already within the building, and were waiting for All Might's cue to start.
"You know," Todoroki said, "You really are amazing." Izuku immediately felt a light blush tint his face. Todoroki went as red as the left half of his hair. "I-I mean, your planning and problem-solving skills are impressive" Todoroko sputtered, trying to cover up his mistake. "Y-yeah, thanks." Izuku replied.
"START!" All Might's voice boomed from the loudspeakers, making Izuku and Todoroki jump a little. "Come on, let's go" Izuku nodded in agreement, and the two boys headed off into the corridors.
"Alright, Katsuki should be coming out any moment now..." Izuku said. He knew Katsuki wouldn't work together with Mineta, and would instead rush off to find Izuku. He remembered his conversation with Todoroki, when they were discussing the plan.
"Kaach- Katsuki will come for me immediately, because he wants to beat me up." Izuku had explained. "That's when we'll start phase one of the plan, where you create a blockade of ice and run up to get the bomb, while I'll take care of Katsuki." "No, leave Bakugo to me." Todoroki argued, and Izuku looked at him quizzically. "I have something I need to... ask him." "Alright... if you say so..." Izuku, while resistant, had known better than to question the boy's motives and strength, not to mention the unwavering conviction in his heterochromia eyes.
An explosion shook Izuku out of the past. "He's coming! Get ready" Izuku warned Todoroki, who adopted a defensive stance, a chilly aura swirling around his right side.
"DEKUUUUU!!!" Bakugo roared, and smashed through the ceiling with an explosive punch. Bakugo rocketed down towards Izuku, with his right fist extended and bursting with mini combustions, ready to smash Izuku into the cement ground.
Unfazed, Izuku merely sidestepped and grabbed Bakugou's wrist at the split second before Bakugo crashed into the floor, so he couldn't get away. Harnessing lion strength, Izuku spun Bakugo and threw him to the floor. Izuku hopped away, and before Bakugo could get up, Todoroki created a thick wall of ice between them.
"Hurry and go! Bakugo will be getting up soon, and he won't stop until he gets to you!" Todoroki shouted over his shoulder, and Izuku dashed away. Grunting, Bakugo stood up and smashed the ice barrier with an explosive fist.
"THAT F*CKING DEKU THINKS HE CAN RUN AWAY?" Bakugo steamed. "OUTTA THE WAY, HALF 'N HALF BASTARD!"
Todoroki narrowed his eyes. "If you want Midoriya, you'll have to go through me first."
"FINE BY ME! I'LL BEAT YOU UP FIRST, AND THEN I'LL KILL THAT DAMN DEKU!" Bakugo grinned wildly, explosions igniting in his palms.
Todoroki's POV (in case you hadn't noticed, I was shifting towards this anyway)
So far, Bakugo hasn't proven himself that much of a challenge. Sure, he's powerful, but nothing particularly notable, and with his temper and attitude, he'd make a better villain than hero.
"Todoroki, I found the bomb. It's on the fourth floor." Midoriya's voice spoke in my ear. Most would describe his voice as tired, bored and monotone, but I found a comfort in it. His voice, while not low or deep, had a lower undertone to it that soothed me and gave him confidence.
"OI! Half 'N Half Bastard! What're you grinning silly for!? FIGHT ME!!!" Bakugo screamed. "Oh right. Got a little lost in my thoughts there." I said to myself. Pressing my earpiece to speak, I replied "Copy. Good work" to Midoriya, and then turned my attention back to Bakugo, who was currently powering up and preparing to come at me again.
