Uraraka was speechless.

"HELP" he screamed as he thrashed around under her.

She looked down at him and tightened her grip as hard as she could. He wasn't easy to hold down.

Kirishima and Bakugo took steady steps closer, clearly being cautious.

Uraraka looked up at them and gave a weak smile, "I knocked this knife out of his hand," she nodded towards the knife on the ground, "and pinned him down. He... tried to kill me."

"What are you saying!?" Izuku yelled from under her. "Trying to blame this on me!? I was lucky enough to knock the knife out of your hand, before getting pinned down!"

Kirishima and Bakugo came closer.

"Stop this!" Uraraka pleaded at Izuku.

"Stop what," he sounded choked up, "the day I got kidnapped, when I went back to my dorm room, you followed me. You called the villains to come get me, I know you did!" Tears came down his face. Uraraka couldn't tell If they were real or forced.

The fact that she did follow him to his dorm that day wasn't really helping her innocence. She hoped Kirishima and Bakugo could see through his lie.

"Why did the villains only take me?  She was in the room too!  Do we even know anything about Uraraka!? She's a traitor I know it!" He screamed.

Bakugo leaned over to Kirishima and whispered into his ear. Kirishima gave a small nod and turned his attention back to Uraraka and Izuku.

"We are super sorry about this guys!  We just have to be sure!" Kirishima apologized.

Bakugo took a step forward.

"We just don't know the innocent one here!  Midoriya has been acting super strange lately, but he doesn't sound like he's lying right now." He continued, "again, apologies."

As he finished, Bakugo lunged forward and tackled Uraraka off Izuku, with Kirishima following him and replacing Uraraka's spot on top of Izuku.

Bakugo forced Uraraka up and held her hands behind her back tightly.  Kirishima did the same too Izuku.

Uraraka looked stunned at first, but then relived when she saw Izuku being held by Kirishima.

"It's just a precaution!" Kirishima said brightly, "I'm sure we can figure out the lair eventually!"

From their standing position, Izuku looked down.  The knife that was on the ground was at his feet.  He ever so slightly, maneuvered the knife so it rested on top of his foot.  He quickly lifted his eyes up to see if anyone noticed him.  But Kirishima and Bakugo were talking and Uraraka was listening quietly to them.

Uraraka glanced at Izuku. Her eyes widened in terror when she saw what he was doing.

"Kirishima wa-"

It was too late.

Izuku kicked the knife up and wrestled his arm free from Kirishima's grip.

As fast as a snake his arm shot out and grabbed the knife,  he turned around and buried it deep into Kirishima's shoulder.

Izuku felt lucky that Kirishima was to slow to activate his hardening.

Kirishima screamed out in pain, and Bakugo released Uraraka from his hold.

Bakugo's face twisted in anger as Kirishima feel to the ground, clutching his shoulder.

"Round face," he growled, "help Kirishima. I'll take Deku." He snarled the name out like poison.

Izuku's eyes meet Bakugo's.

Broken jade meeting a crimson blood color.

Kacchan. You made me suffer the most.

For that, you shall pay.

With

Your

Life.

I'll make it hurt, a thousand times more than you hurt me.

I want you to feel the terror bloom in your chest, the same I felt.

I want you to be humiliated for existing, ridiculed for having any hope left in your shattered heart.

I want you to think that everything will be okay, that you'll be fine, that someone will save you.  And come to the crushing realization that no one cares enough about you to help you.

And in the end you'll be glad I killed you,

Because you will wish to die.

The

Same

As

Me.

"K-kacchan" Izuku looked down.  A smile crept onto his face.

"Deku what the fuck is wrong with you, huh?  Do you even know what you just did?!"

"..."

"You attacked and hurt a classmate." Bakugo growled.

"...no..."

"No what?!"

"I...Im," he gulped, "ending my p-pain..."

"By killing us!?" Bakugo snapped at him.

"T-that's not the t-term I would use..." Izuku took a step forward, his eyes still trained on the ground.

Bakugo took a step forward too, "I don't give a shit about what you call it.  It's murder.  And a hero doesn't murder."

Izuku flinched and a smirk followed Bakugo's features.

"I-I haven't done anything wrong yet... at least I know.... a hero doesn't bully.. or tell a helpless person to kill themselves."

Bakugo was horrified, he looked to the ground in shame. Izuku was right.

"But you have done something wrong, Deku"

Izuku tilted his head.

"You attacked Uraraka and hurt Kirishima. So Deku, either surrender now or fight me"

"Kacchan... that's all I've ever wanted to do." Izuku took another step forward.

"Don't blame me if you get hurt."

"Hahaha... I'm n-not going to get hurt..." Izuku broke into a run towards Bakugo.

"You sound confident for a useless Deku" Bakugo snarled as he charged in aswell.

"Useless... yeah.. useless!" Izuku reached into his belt and grabbed something.

Shit. Bakugo realized.

Izuku has more knives.

A little bit of Kirishima's blood dusted Izuku's face. His emerald eyes bore into Bakugo, his smile was wide.

Holding knives in each hand his charging speed increased as he activated one for all.

"What are you afraid of Kacchan!" He laughed happily as he jumped up, ready to attack.

"Something is really fucking wrong with you." Bakugo whispered to himself.

"Don't tell me after all these years, you're the one afraid of me!"

Bakugo brought his hands up to explode Izuku in the air, hoping it would blast him away and do some damage.

But it did nothing.  Izuku kept coming in and Bakugo had to jerk out of the way as the knives swiped at him.

If Izuku had felt any pain from the blast he didn't show it.

Izuku didn't show any mercy.

He charged at Bakugo again and threw one of his knives.

The knife dusted his shoulder and blood dripped from it.

"Bastard" Bakugo said under his breath.

He stole a quick glance at the scratch.  He breathed a sigh of relief, the wound wasn't deep at all.

As Izuku approached closer, Bakugo used his explosions to propel himself into the air.

Izuku crouched and jumped up to meet Bakugo in the air.

Bakugo landed a punch at Izuku's side, which caused him to jerk a little.  Bakugo put his palm in front of Izuku's face and let off a small scale explosion.

Clearly shaken, Izuku started falling back to the ground and Bakugo followed him.

Izuku landed harshly on the ground while Bakugo landed softly using his explosions.

Izuku didn't open his eyes or move.

Bakugo towered over him.

Is he unconscious?

My explosion wasn't that harsh...

Bakugo kicked Izuku's foot, which was limp.  He looked over to Uraraka who was panicking, trying to dress Kirishima's wound with any materials she could find.

"Uraraka!" He yelled.

She snapped her eyes over to his, and noticed the limp Izuku below him.

"Bakugo... did you get him?" She yelled back.

"Yeah, I got 'em.  Go run and get some help, I'll watch over these two!"

She gave a quick nod and one last look at Kirishima, before running off to get some backup.

Bakugo suddenly froze.

"You didn't think I would go down that easily, Kacchan?"
