Tying up some loose ends from an earlier conflict to prepare for the next big conflict I plan to focus on in the next couple of chapters. No fluff is heading our way. Oops.

"So, what happened the other day?"

"Whaddaya mean?"

"You know what I mean, shrimp."

"Oh! I just got lost in the halls, that's all."

"..."

"What?"

"..."

"It was nothing, don't worry about it. I'm a-okay!"

"You have five seconds until I blow your head off."

"Wha-"

"Five."

"Hold on now-"

"Four."

"Wait man you can't-"

"Three."

"Please let it go-"

"Two."

"Where are the others when you need them?!"

"One."

"Fine fine!" Asta waved his hands hastily before him, trying to ward off the little explosions coming from Bakugou's hands. He wished the others hadn't left to go get more snacks from the kitchen, wanting there to be someone else to witness his potential murder.

"Oi! Start talking then!" Bakugou crossed his arms, glaring at the shorter male.

"I had a run in with that blonde boy from the other class... what was his name again? Monomi? Monono? Monamona?" A growl from Bakugou got him back on track. "Anyways, he just had some things to say to me that weren't particularly friendly, but it's over with and I'm fine."

Bakugou stared blankly at Asta, searching his face for anything. His eyes flashed when he found what he was looking for, and without a word he stood up from the couch, marching straight into the kitchen. Asta flailed his arms, chasing after the explosion user.

"Don't worry about it man! It's all good now!" He tried to cheer the other up, smiling widely, going in for a high five. But Bakugou ignored him, making a beeline for Kirishima.

Grabbing the spiky-haired teen's arm, he dragged him around the counter, also latching onto Sero and Kaminari who began to loudly protest. Asta wilted, watching the three leave the dorm building. Noelle, Vanessa, and Finral, who had been talking at the counter, all gave him a look to which he just shrugged. Spotting the snacks that the other teens had been retrieving, his eyes brightened and he piled them up in his arms.

"Wanna come join me for some movies?"

~*~*~*~*~

"Bakubro! What the heck are you doing?!"

"Why do I fear we're about to be murdered?!"

"Dude, what's going on?!"

Bakugou finally released his hold on the three other teens, turning around to face them. Crossing his arms once more, he began to explain to them what was happening and his plan.

"So," he started, making sure he had all of their attention, "Asta, that anti-magic user kid. The other day when Yuno and I were looking for him we found him completely lost in thought, looking a bit sadder than normal."

"He was sad?!" Kaminari burst out, a shocked look on his face. "That guy's like the epitome of happiness and good vibes!"

"Super manly too!" Kirishima added.

"Let me finish!" Bakugou snarled. Both shuddered and became silent once more. "We asked him what was up, but he brushed it off. Didn't trust it. So while you extras were just getting more snacks, I asked him again and he finally fessed up. Apparently, Monoma was being a dick to him and I have a feeling he made the shrimp cry. Asta said he wasn't 'friendly' with his words and I have a feeling it's because of the match ups we had the other day."

"Dude, that's so not cool." Sero commented, a frown on his face. "Asta is amazing."

"Perfect fit for our group, and have you seen how manly he is?" Kirishima asked the others, disbelieving that the copy teen could be cruel to the sunshine ball that was the anti-magic user. "It's clear his friends look up to him too!"

"What's your plan then, Bakugou?" Kaminari gave the explosion teen a serious look, for once not goofing around. "I assume you dragged us out here to help you. Which of course we will, just don't get us expelled." The other two nodded in agreement, determination on their faces.

Bakugou smirked, opening his mouth to explain his plan. However, he was cut short when a heavy weight dropped onto his head, grasping it tightly.

"You have five seconds to tell me who hurt my dumbass kid before I kill you."

The other three teens screeched, jumping back at the massive form that held Bakugou captive. A purple glow was emanating around it, making it ten times more terrifying. The explosive teen struggled, hands flying up to try to pry off the fingers that held him captive.

"Urgh! Let go of me!"

"Not much time left. Better spill."

"Urgh! Fine! Monoma! Now let me go!" Bakugou was released, landing in a heap on the ground. Rubbing his head, he glared up at the taller man before him. However, any retort died in his throat at the look of pure murder on his face.

"So, what's your plan then?" Yami put his hand on his hip, the other one holding a lit cigarette. "I heard everything so you're not leaving me out of this."

"Just was going to have a chat with the 1-B extra. Show him he messed with the wrong people."

"N-No murder." Kaminari stuttered, Kirishima and Sero nodding vigorously in agreement. Yami sighed, taking a long drag of his cigarette before speaking.

"Alright. Lead on." When no one moved, he became more agitated. "What? Why aren't you idiots moving? I thought we were on a mission or something?"

"You're not going to stop us?" Sero asked.

Kirishima added, "Yeah, any other teacher would not endorse this behavior."

"Do I look like a teacher to you? Answer wisely, kid."

"N-No sir!"

"Well then, let's get moving. Don't have all day." Bakugou grinned, pushing himself up off the ground.

"Let's go then."

~*~*~*~*~

"Has anyone seen the Captain?" Vanessa asked from where she was curled up on the couch with Noelle. She shoved some more popcorn into her mouth, watching the images on the screen.

"No, not since he left to use the bathroom." Finral answered, shifting his position next to Asta. "I'm not going to go check though, that's asking to be murdered."

"I haven't seen Bakugou and the others since they left the building either." Asta commented, munching on the chips in his bowl, eyes glued to the movie.

"I'm sure they're quite capable of taking care of themselves." Noelle muttered. She burrowed further under the blanket draped over her and the witch, smiling as Rouge purred from where she sat on their legs.

A loud blood curdling scream in the distance drew their attention away from the movie, but the four Black Bulls shrugged, completely used to that kind of thing back at their base. Everyone else in the dorm building froze, wondering who had just been murdered. And for the teachers in the principal's office, only the sound of Nezu cackling could be heard afterwards as the others bolted for the door, wanting to get as far away as possible from the nightmare that was sure to ensue.

Was Monoma murdered? We will have to see. But don't worry, big conflict and plot point on it's way towards you as this day that I've focused on for three chapters now comes to a close.

We are going to have a wonderful time *please note the heavy sarcasm the author has used*.
