Chapter 15
(A/N: Okay I'm gonna speed this up to get to the finale fight, sorry if this upsets ya but I want to get to the finale fight and break Bakugo)
Luke POV
Last few rounds have been something, and full of surprises as Thawne forfeited before our fight even began. He said he wanted to see me win cause Bakugo needed to get his ass beat for bullying our classmates and everyone, that he needed his pride broken. I was surprised but I promised I would win, for him and everyone else in the other classes
Ivy won against Harley, but she wasn't mad but still happy that Ivy will progress on. I do not know why, but if they were a couple...I ship them
Bakugo won against Tokoyami, not surprised given his talent and Dark Shadows weakness to light based attacks.
I sighed as I waited for my turn to fight, as Ivy just battled Bakugo, more like making an ass of himself as she stepped out of bounds at the end of the match. I was also thinking of Ida, he just left and he had a look of pure fear and rage a bit. I wondered what it was about, but I can connect the dots due to the news lately, and if I was right, then I better talk to him tomorrow
Or he'll make a mistake that may cost him his life
"Getting ready," Batman asked me, as he walked in my room
"Yep, though but to be a little honest sir," I said as I snapped my neck,"I'm REALLY excited for this fight, but not in a way you might think."
"You want to humiliate Bakugo don't you," Batman asked me, I nodded,"hmm I approve, from what I've seen and read about Bakugo, he is a reckless, egotistical and more importantly dangerous, for wanting to be a Hero, he fits more as a villain."
"Yep, so I ain't winning cause I want to, which I do, but I'm gonna break Bakugo today. Both body and mind, but his ego, destroy that and he is nothing more than a pitiful bitch."
"As much as I dislike the cursing, I can't help but approve of the way you're gonna do it. Good luck Luke, but I can already tell you're all set."
I smiled as I soon heard my name being called, so it was time for the last fight. I looked at Batman, and as if we understood one another, we nodded at each other and I walked off. I walked out as Present Mic called my name out, and I was surprised to hear some actually cheering and clapping for me, a lot of the Mutation Quirk users were the most loudest of them
As I walked in, I suddenly hear yelling and I turned to see my Auntie, the Big 3 and a lot of m,y classmates standing on atop of me. They were cheering loudly as I smiled big and walked to the arena, where I saw Bakugo make his way to the arena, his usual pissed off for no reason. As soon as we got on the concrete arena, Midnight went over the rules
But honestly me and Bakugo were just staring at one another, glaring at each other as I got ready to demolish this little shit stain. Soon as she said go, we didn't immediately attacked, we just stared as Bakugo mouthed off
"Don't go crying when I kick your puny ass," Bakugo said
I just looked at my nails, as the crowd just yelled for us to fight, but honestly I didn't care. This is to break Bakugo, and win cause I want to rub this in all the peoples faces who called me a monster
"Hey asshole, did you hear me," Bakugo yelled at me
"...," I said nothing
"WHAT?! TO SCARED TO SAY ANYTHING, GOT NONE OF YOUR COMEBACKS!?!"
...Bingo
"Well Bakugo if you want my come back, you should go home and wipe it off your mom's face."
The area was silent, so quiet that you can hear a pin drop and it could be heard from miles away. Then suddenly as if God himself, or a dumbass who was bored, the entire stadium erupted into screams of Ohs and agony on some parts. All the classes were so got off guard they all fell down laughing, they were holding their stomachs hard, crying and dying even
"HAHAHAHA, HE BURNED HIM," Sero yelled as he rolled on the floor
"HE DESTROYED HIM," Kaminari yelled as he held his stomach
"WIPE IT OFF YOUR MOMS FACE, HAHAHA," Tetsutetsu howled as he died of laughter
"DDDDAAAAAMMMMMNNNN," Aizawa and Present Mic said in perfect unison
"...Dibs," GL said
"Dibs, why did you say dibs," Flash asked him
"Cause this kid can give me an arsenal of insults for Sinestro and break him down, making my job a whole lot easier."
"I think Batman already beat you do it," Superman said as he pointed at the Caped Crusader
Batman was already calling in favors, paperwork and basically any adoption agency to get this kid.
Back to the fight, 3rd POV
All the while stood there as if his brain was short circuited and then as his brain rebooted, then his face soon turned into a demon. Then his hands exploded and then he fired off at Luke, yelling so loud the elderly in America were complaining. Something about a whiny pomeranian that hasn't gotten attention after 10 seconds from its owner
"I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU," Bakugo yelled
"Aww look the little bitch is angry," Luke said
Before Bakugo could land a solid hit, Luke just tail whipped him into the ground, making Bakugo slide on the ground. Bakugo got up and kept attacking
"You're dead, scales," Bakugo yelled in fury,"let's get this over with so I can win and show everyone here that I'm the Hero and you're just a villain!"
"Oh please, I'd hate to make this too easy," Luke said with a smirk,"where's the fun in crushing a wittle angry pomeranian like you?"
Bakugo's hands ignite in explosive sparks, his teeth bared in a furious grin.
"Say that again, lizard breath!"
"Lizard breath, pff, come on Bakuhoe, try a little bit harder," Luke said as he lets out a dramatic sigh,"you're embarrassing yourself. I'm already embarrassed for you."
Bakugo doesn't waste another second, rocketing toward Luke with a barrage of explosions. The arena shakes as he closes the distance, aiming a full-powered explosion straight for Luke's torso. But just as Bakugo is about to land the blow, Luke catches his wrist mid-swing, smirking.
"Ooh big boom, very impressive," Luke said with a mocking tone,"you want a gold star for that one?"
Bakugo growls and swings with his other hand, unleashing another explosion. But Luke dodges and then gives Bakugo a quick, dismissive pat on the head.
"Ah, there's that fighting spirit," Luke said,"adorable, truly adorable."
"I'm gonna make you eat those words, you overgrown handbag," Bakugo yelled
Luke chuckles as he lazily sidesteps each explosion. With each missed attack, Bakugo's anger grows, and so does the intensity of his attacks.
"Oh, now we're just getting desperate, aren't we," Luke asked,"the little firecracker running out of steam already?"
"HELL NO, I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY," Bakugo yelled as he set off some explosions
"As much as I love to hear you bluster at me till the heat death of the universe...I literally have like a million better things to do. So here's the deal, I want you to hit me as hard as you can."
"Oh is that right—."
"Now hold on, you might have misheard me. Not half as hard, not some arbitrary percentage...I want you...to hit me...as hard...AS...YOU CAN."
"And if I don't play along?"
"Well then I guess your mother was right about you."
That set Bakugou off as he charged and launched a massive, maybe the biggest explosion ever, at Luke and it was blinding. The crowd covered their eyes and mouths to block the dust and smell, as the entire area was covered. Bakugo panted as he smiled, believing he finally dealt a blow until Luke smacked his side with his tail, braking his harm
"FFFUUUCCKKK," Bakugo yelled as he held his broken arm
"See Bakubitch, that's what you get for not listening," Luke said, completely unscathed,"but sense I know you have trouble following directions, or simple instructions to a vibrator, I'm gonna give you one last chance."
Luke said as he stood there, unmoving and flashed a small cocky smile. Luke wasn't known from being arrogant, egotistical or vindictive, but for Bakugo...he was a special case. Luke wanted him to know, he wasn't top dog here...Luke was.
"You. Me. Hard as you can," Luke said,"are we clear?"
"Crystal," Bakugo growled through his teeth
He rockets high into the air, spinning wildly as he builds up momentum, preparing his ultimate move.
"HOWITZER... IMPACT!"
He dives toward Luke, a whirlwind of explosive fury, closing in fast. Just as he's about to collide, Luke grins, standing his ground. Bakugo's attack hits with a deafening explosion, and the arena is engulfed in smoke and fire.
As the smoke clears, Luke is still standing, with a few scorch marks but otherwise unscathed, giving Bakugo an almost pitying look.
"All that for a drop of blood," Luke said as he wiped the blood off
Bakugo stumbles back, exhausted, breathing heavily. Before he can react, Luke grabs him by the ankle and lifts him off the ground.
"I hope you enjoyed this little scuffle as much as I did, you really gave it your all." Luke said as his grin widens as he lifts Bakugo even higher, addressing the audience,"ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for the grand finale!"
With one swift motion, Luke swings Bakugo over his head and slams him into the ground on one side, then the other, then back again, repeating the motion with rhythmic ease, each impact shaking the arena.
"Puny Pomeranian," Luke said as he chuckled
"I...I ain't done yet," Bakugo yelled,"AP SH—!"
Luke just tail whips him again, making him crash into the floor in our agony. He held his broken arm and panted in exhaustion, clearly regretting his choices today, for once
"Why do I yell things," he asked him
"Hey," Luke said as he smiled,"so who has two broken arms and is a total bitch?"
"You stupid bitch, you only broke one of my arms—."
Luke then LIGHTLY pressed his foot down on Bakugos remaining arm, making it snap, crackle and pop. Bakugo then squealed like a bitch and soon the pain was too much for him and he passed out. Luke smiled as he yawned and looked at Midnight, who was still laughing but managed to compose herself enough to end the match
"Bakugo is K.O.ed, the Sports Festival has ended," Midnight yelled,"LUKE JAME IS THIS YEARS WINNER!!"
The crowd, a small percentage of them, cheered as the others just clapped and applauded him. Luke smiled as he looked down at Bakugo, then used his tail to grab him and dragged him off the arena, his head hitting each step as he does. Then he dragged him all the way to RGs office, tossed him onto a bed and looked at RG, who smiled as she walked to Luke
"Here ya go RG, hope he won't be to much of a problem,' Luke said as he knelt to her
"Its fine dreary, besides I think I like him better then his all tuckered out so I can operate on him," RG said as she handed him some gummies,"there you go sweety, this will help you get your stamina back, I do believe your not that injured I presume?"
"Naw, just a scratch thats all. I'm honestly surprised I tanked that blast, though the NOMU punched harder than him."
"Well dear your Quirk does make you tougher every time you battle, so I doubt you can label this a small boo-boo."
"Hehehe no ma'am, but thanks for these. Means a lot."
"Sometimes I wished there were more youngsters like you Luke," RG said as she rubbed his cheek,"I know I may sound like a broken record, but I am truly sorry for what happened to you. A kind, sweet and caring boy like you never deserved what happened to you."
"Thanks Grandma," Luke said,"but after everything that's happened to me...I think...I wouldn't trade it for anything."
"Hmm," RG asked
Luke smiled as he looked at RG, and when he called her Grandma...it made him feel happy. After everything he went through, he started to believe that he went through this shit for a reason.
"If I didn't go through everything I did, then I wouldn't be here," Luke said with a smile,"I wouldn't be here with my friends, 1-C, 1-A and 1-B, the teachers and even some Pros who treated me nicely, like you. I wouldn't have found a reason it keep living, I wouldn't have been reunited with my auntie.
So...Recovery Girl...thank you, and the rest of UA, for being my Heros."
Recovery Girl, who has heard this a lot, but this time when Luke, who hated Heros and suffered so much because of them. When he said those words, her heart felt like it stopped and then restarted, hell even the rest of UA felt their hearts stop. Present Mic for some reason felt like he did something meaningful in his life, like he helped someone after he felt like he let down Shota and...
Shirakumo
RG cried as she hugged Luke, as he carefully and softly hugged the small Heroine back. They stayed like that as RG smiled as she walked off, waving her cane around
"Head on off sweety, they'll be giving the rewards out soon," RG said,"now go, no doubt your Aunt will want to spent time with you."
"Okay RG, and if Bakugo gives you trouble, give me a shout," Luke said as he walked out
The stadium is filled with applause as the winners of the UA Sports Festival stand on the podium. Tokoyami had won third place, and Bakugo had won second place, bu he was seen in a wheelchair, a full bodycast, some felt some pity for the boy...not a lot through.
At the center, towering above the others, stands Luke, basking in the crowd's cheers as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his head, not use to this kind of attention. All Might approaches him with the first-place medal, a proud smile on his face. All Might was happy for the young man, he just won and he didn't with pride and accomplished his mission
"Congratulations Young James, you fought with skill and tenacity, an impressive display of strength," he yelled, still holding out the medal,"with talent like yours, it's clear you have the potential to be a great hero. Tell me, will you be joining the Hero Course?"
Luke takes the medal with a smirk, glancing at the crowd before meeting All Might's eyes.
"Thanks for the offer, but...naw, not my things," Luke said with a smile
The crowd murmurs in surprise, and All Might just smiled as he knew the answer from the get go. He knew Luke would deny the chance to be in 1-A or the Heroic Course, given his history, but he wanted others to know. That even the greatest will not always be Heros, they had their own dreams and desires, and All Might respected it
"Very well Young James, I do hope you enjoy the rest of your time here at UA," All Might said as he patted his back,"you deserve it young man."
Thanks All Might, and don't I've got my own plans," Luke said with a smile,"so I'll leave the 'heroing' to you guys."
He and All Might shake hands their fists almost covering one another, then Luke raised his medal to the audience, soaking in their cheers one last time. With that, he steps down from the podium, leaving the people who didn't know to ponder his decision. But suddenly Nezu popped from...somewhere.
"Now hold on, this year we have established a new rule for the winner of this Sports Festival to sing," Nezu said
"SINCE WHEN," Luke yelled with a blush
"Just now, now please sing for us!"
Nezu soon faded...somehow, causing many of the UA alumni to shiver as they remembered the times of the Rat God. Luke was still blushing, as he looked at his Auntie, who only smiled as he knew she had a part to play in this. He groaned as he suddenly had a mic in his face, seeing it was Jiro, sitting on Kaminaris shoulders...which he was blushing from
"...You and my auntie had a hand in this huh," he asked her
"Maybe, now sing," she said with a smile
Luke sighed as he grabbed the mic and saw everyone staring at me. 1-A was cheering him on, 1-B being supportive and 1-C was basically holding flags, banners and going ape shit for him to sing. He sweatdrops as he soon took a deep breath and thinks of any songs he made with his auntie, then suddenly clicked in his mind. So he took a breath and started to sing
(Reminder, I do not own the song or video. Found it on YouTube)

"Self-hatred, I'm fighting
Feels like a prison cell
But this story I'm writing
Helps me remind myself
The rock bottom only got me higher
Won't be a victim, I'm a survivor
I refuse to believe the liar in my head
The proof is stitched in my scars
I'm strong enough, I'm strong enough
I found myself through the dark
Not giving up, not giving up
I've come to understand
That tragedy's a second chance
My dying breath is where I was born
Now I'm stronger than my storm
Stronger, stronger
Stronger than my storm
Stronger, stronger
Stronger than my storm
For so long I tried to
Prеtend away my pain
My secret to keep it
Lеft me one step away
Some days I couldn't get much lower
My heart couldn't beat much slower
But I decide when my story's over
(Story's over, story's over)
The proof is stitched in my scars
I'm strong enough, I'm strong enough
I found myself through the dark
Not giving up, not giving up
I've come to understand
That tragedy's a second chance
My dying breath is where I was born
Now I'm stronger than my storm
Stronger, stronger
Stronger than my storm
Stronger, stronger
Stronger than my storm
Being broken gave me fight
A semicolon saved my life
I wear my battle scars with pride
Being broken gave me fight
And I refuse to be defined
By what I almost did that night
The proof is stitched in my scars
I'm strong enough, I'm strong enough
I found myself fallin' so far
Not giving up, not giving up
I've come to understand
That tragedy's a second chance
My dying breath is where I was born
Now I'm stronger than my storm
Stronger, stronger
Stronger than my storm
Stronger, stronger
Stronger than my storm
Stronger (Stronger)
Stronger
Stronger than my storm"
As he finished, he looked around as he panted, seeing people awestruck and then soon it erupted into cheers. People were clapping, some were crying and many were repeating the lines of the song. Luke smiled as he soon walked off, a little shy as people calling him and saying he was amazing and awesome, things he thought he be called by anyone
Soon as he reached the hallway, he saw a person with a gecko like skin and purple hair. He wore a grey hoodie and sweatpants, holding something in his hands as he looked at Luke, but looked shy as he kept from looking at him
"Is something wrong," Luke asked the guy
"...H-How," he asked him,"how do you keep going? You're a Mutation Quirk user and yet you're not being hiding like me."
"...Honestly I use to hide who I was a long time ago, it was honestly cause of so many people who cared for me help me break out. I always thought I would hide in my house cause I would be attacked cause of how I look, and importantly...I had friends who help me feel accepted."
"Lucky you, I never had that, my parents abandoned me all cause of my Quirk. I've been hiding in my room, a total shut in cause of it. But...but when I saw you on TV, I wanted to come see if it was real. And when I saw you win...something just made me...feel happy."
Luke looks at this guy, and he understood what he was going through, they were the same. What Luke didn't know was so many Mutation Quirk users were cheering him on during the Sports Festival, they showed themselves and didn't get discouraged when people called them freaks or monsters. Nezu made sure to broadcast to the entire world
Luke slowly became hope for others like him, but he didn't know that. All he did know was something like him was standing in front of him, asking how he managed to keep on, even though some saw him as a freak. He walked up to this stranger and knelt down, placing a hand on his shoulder, making sure to not hurt him
"Whats your name," Luke asked him
"S-Shuichi Iguchi," Shuichi said with a stutter
"It's nice to meet you Shuichi, and to tell you...don't let anyone tell you different, what you are or who. If you let the bad words win, then you'll be showing the world they've won, so let me say that your not a freak, a villain or a monster...you can be whatever you want."
"Whatever...even a...a Hero, even with my Qurik?"
"The Quirk doesn't make the person a Hero Shuichi, its the person who makes the Hero. So yes Shuichi, you can be a Hero."
Shuichi stared to cry as he fell to his knees, clinching his chest as Luke hugged him. The two stayed like this, and in the shadows, a person was smiling as he watched from the shadows.
"A fate changed, well done Luke," they said and disappeared
Timeskip
After talking with Shuichi with Lukes classmates, they all went separate ways to their homes to relax and enjoy the next two days off. Luke had spoken with his auntie, they agreed to meet up at her apartment and go out. So Luke went to his house to change, and for once he wasn't meet with graffiti, egg shells or slurs on his house, in fact it was cleaned
He looked around as he saw no one on the street, so he just silently thanked for whoever did it. Soon as he walked in, his nostrils were suddenly hit with the smell of propane, and before he could run and warm the nearby houses—
