He was partially right.

Before he can react, a bottle shatters at his feet, releasing a lot of smoke, but it's so awful and strong-smelling that it makes his eyes water and he coughs a bit. "The hell?" He mutters. he feels Kirishima press his back against his, silently already knowing what they should do-Now they can watch eachother's backs, ready to fight or defend depending on where they get attacked at. Suddenly, a shape leaps out of the smoke. Bakugo is able to catch one of Deku's wrists before the other stabs him in the gut, twists, then he lets it drop, takes the one out of his shoulder, and cuts his wrist. 

All within a matter of seconds. 

He's SO DAMN FAST.

"Gah!" Bakugo shouts. He doesn't want to hurt him, but he seems pretty bent on killing him. He throws him (Not TOO hard) into the smoke, so he disappears. "You wanna explain to me what the hell is going on?" Kirishima asks. "Let's try to focus on NOT getting out throats slashed at the moment, how about that." Bakugo shoots back pointedly. Something grazes his shoulder, then something punches him in the stomach where he was stabbed, HARD. "Ack!" He coughs. He swings a right hook, but that is caught and somehow he ends up on is back. "You always use a right hook, Kacchan. I've seen you use it well enough to know." Deku tells him. He appears out of the smoke, and Bakugo stands back up, fists by his face. "What the hell happened to you..?" He murmurs. "I had my eyes opened." Deku must have heard him and responded. He holds up another bottle, and once again shatters is at Bakugo's feet. It smells sweeter, but he instantly staggers to one side. "Oh, is it hard to stand?" Deku jeers, his eyes burning with intense, undying hate, malevolence, and evil. His grin is full of it too. He doesn't want to hurt him. He just wants to sit down and yell for a moment and then maybe punch something and then talk to Deku. 

Still, he has to defend himself. 

He shakes his head, and then leaps at Deku, despite his blurry vision. They grapple for a moment, and then Deku sweeps his legs out from under him, slamming Bakugo onto the ground. He puts one foot on his chest and leans down. "I will finish my mission, so this is goodbye." He raises a-WHAT is his OBSESSION over DAGGERS?? Suddenly, it's as if he glitches-now, he looks MUCH closer to death, his face is covered in scrapes and cuts, his skin is more sickly and pale, his eyes dimmer embers of grief, despair, and distress. They also begin to fill with tears as his hand starts to shake. "Ka..cchan." He grunts.

"Help me." 

Then he glitches again, and then he is gone, he looks healthier, his eyes have rekindled that angry flame that seems unending. 

What the hell was that.

WHO was that, is the real question. 

It was Deku, but THIS is Deku, standing above him, about to kill him. 

Until Kirishima rams into him, so he falls to the ground. He helps Bakugo stand up, as Deku chuckles. "He hits hard." He nods at Kirishima. "But I hit faster." Kirishima looks down, and there is a gash running down his side. "How did I not notice that?" He murmurs. "The same way YOU just noticed THIS." Sharp pain shoots through Bakugo, just below his ribcage as he gets stabbed AGAIN. 

This has to stop.

He stays still, turning his head to look in different directions, until yet ANOTHER blade rests at his throat. 
"Our game was fun, but now it must end." Deku whispers in his ear. Too close, his breath makes it hot and uncomfortable. "Oh, is it now?" Bakugo grabs the wrist in front of his neck, then spins and punches Deku, adding an explosion to it, hoping to knock him out. He stumbles back a few steps, but stays on his feet, grinning. Except his face is all messed up, now. He has multiple scratches on his face, and small spatters of blood dot his face and trickles from his nose. "It's a wonder you're still standing. You ARE bleeding pretty well." He observes. "Shut up." Bakugo growls. "Aw, is that how you treat an old friend?" Deku retorts, feigning shock. He runs at Bakugo, who leaps at him, but Deku ducks UNDER him at the last second and not only literally stabs him in the back, but also punches him into a wall. "Aaaargh!" He shouts in pain and frustration. Kirishima and Deku are now in the middle of a fistfight, trading blows with eachother for a few minutes. Out of nowhere, a massive paw forcefully shoves Kirishima into a wall of his own, hard enough that a crater spreads out around him. He groans and coughs. "Kirishima!" Bakugo yells. He jumps at Deku, preparing a right hook, even though he knows he'll expect it. He's right, Deku prepares to counter, but at the last moment, Bakugo swivels his wrist so the blast he produces not only stuns Deku, but also allows him to get behind him. Then he grabs his arm. "I'm fine if you want to kill me, but you don't get to bring my friend into it." He says, beginning to spin, dragging Deku behind him. "Dear to you, is he?" Deku asks. "I just told you.." He slams Deku into the ground-sorry, Deku-hard enough that a few cracks appear. "That he's my friend. I ain't gonna just sit back and WATCH as my friend gets hurt." He backs up, breathing heavily. That fight didn't take very long but the effects of that second bottle made it harder for him to fight. Kirishima walks up to Deku, crouches down, and pokes him. "He's out." He announces. "I can see that." Bakugo replies. "First order of business, we need to tie him up. And YOU need to treat those injuries." Kirishima says, as if this was all normal, no big deal. "I can manage for a little while longer. I'll search him for weapons, you go find a rope." 

He does not mention how much his body hurts. 

Not too long after, Deku is tied up, they have taken his weapons (A bunch of daggers and bottles), and are figuring out the next step. "We can't take him to the police-if they find out he tried to kill me, they'll just make him a villain. We would be better off to take him somewhere safe that he hopefully doesn't recognize, and go find a pro. Our best bet would be to get Aizawa sensei and bring him to US." Bakugo muses. 

A part of him wants to tell the police that they can stop looking for him, he's been found, but he also DID just try to kill him. 

He should probably figure that out first. 

"Right." Kirishima agrees. "Now we just find a building."
