#AFO took Izuku to a safe apartment where he injected him with a temporary quirk erasure put him on the bed and left katsudon with clothes

[rexnihilis]

Dream in one's waking hours

Special thanks to @psychomurderz! _________________________________________________________ They stood here to finally help their friend. They stood here and summed up how they would get it back.

"So the plan is this, idiots: We are looking for Nerd in places of maximum fucking for civilians, like the places where villains of A and S rank appear. As soon as we find him, you immediately drink the antidote and bring him down to the place where his ass will stick out. There is our first the task will be the final breakdown of his suit, doing this, first of all - Raccoon Eyes, and secondly - all the others, after which you throw the entire area around with Smoke-aerosol grenades, which will be given to you by Ponytail."

Bakugou was rude as always, but now they realized that his rude behavior was due to the fact that he was just as, if not more, worried about his best friend. A childhood friend and a friend at school.

"If Сlever Сlogs is not mistaken, then after he inhales, or will be covered with these substances, he will slowly but surely fall asleep. We will need to keep him in the gas as long as possible, and also not let him go far, in any dangerous place, where he will smash his fucking Nerd head after falling asleep. All Jackasses understand? This primarily concerns you Half n 'Half bastard, Round Face and Four Eyes!" 

They were ready. They were ready to do anything to help Izuku. They were ready to fight even with All-for-One, even with Shigaraki. They were to challenge God himself in order to help those who are dear to them.

"Yes! " 

"Great! Now: Let's bring this fucker back to UA!"

They are not prepared.

                                                         ____                                                            

And if the burning of the skin and lungs can be tolerated, if you have already endured them eleven years before, when each time you were burned with nitroglycerin fire and forced to breathe with your own burnt flesh and dreams, then the heart never burned so much with pain before... 

You left them so that they would be safe... So that HE would not hurt them, ruin their smiles and kill them... 

But they came, knowing that death itself, destruction and madness itself is on your heels...

And Katsuki brought them... He brought them to stop you... To burn your skin and lungs again... 

As always, as always, as always, as al... 

Ways... 

And this is when you sleep...

Sleepy.

And when you get sleepy… stuffs that’s not moving comes to live…

You start hearing things that aren’t there…

All this unnecessary input… it’s total sensory overload.

It’s like yours whole bode is glitching. And you know this feeling well…

But the worst of it all... Memories...

Memories of eleven years of pain, hatred, fear and rage... Eleven years of blockade of all feelings and emotions. Eleven years that always haunt you...

When you smell burning... When you see flashes of light ... When you hear screams of rage near you... When someone touches you... Always…  And especially now... 

How do you want to...

Sl... 

Sleep…

                                                         ____                                                            

 "Finally! He falls asleep!"  

You giving up. You realize they thought, about your worthlessness.

It was this moment that they all were waiting for. The moment when you finally fall asleep and they can return you to UA.  

Don't let you save anyone else from yourself...  

The moment when they can save you from yourself.  

The moment they finally make you stop... 

"Well, Nerd, tired!? I finally realized that you can't be the Carbon Copy of All Might?! Do you finally understand that you also need to be saved ?!" 

Do you realize that he can stop you at any moment, Deku?  

"And we won't let you go alone, Nerd, if only not without us! For we can only be heroes together!"  

Now you will never be a hero while you are among theme, Useless Deku. 

"Get out…"

                                                         ____                                                            

He’s falls.

Falls after being defeated by his classmates.

Those who came to stop him.  S

top the way they stopped him for eleven years. 

Stopping him, knocking the shit out of him. And at that moment his mind… 

Split. 

Split under the influence of this feeling. Influenced by fatigue, stress and hunger. Under the influence of that sea of emotions and memories that has been accumulating in it for eleven years. 

And when the dam that held it, all cracked... 

His whole world was drowned in this black-red wave. 

A wave that reversed reality and dream itself. 

Reality has become ephemeral, ghostly and flowing away like fog through one's fingers. 

But dream was in one's waking hours. 

Dream was in reality.

And for many that dream was a nightmare.

                                                         ____                                                            

Izuku was falling.

And the closest to him was Kirishima.

"I'll catch him!"

Kirishima ran to the place where Izuku would fall. He will run up and help him, as he helped Bakugou in this place before, and then they will return to UA and help each other, because the manliest thing a person can do is to accept the outstretched hand of hel…

Suddenly, Izuku flashed white-green lightning and a black-green whip and turned in the air and…

                                                         ____                                                            

Nikuiwa. Quirk: Stone flesh.

It allows a human to turn his body into a hard stone. Usually it transforms hair and hands, but now it has transformed the entire body. There is strange information that he can further hardened himself, but it is unknown where this information came from.

The best option of confrontation is to deliver a heavy crushing blow to the head, which will cause a severe brain concussion and take him out of the fight.

How I dreamed of hurting you when you bullied me in Aldera. 

                                                         ____                                                            

... while Kirishima did not have time to become Unbreakable, he hit him in the head, throwing him 30 meters away.

"Shitty Hair!"/" Kirishima!"

Classmates hurried to him after such a heavy blow. He was unconscious, and his jaw was cut to the bone, which was all covered with cracks.

"Nerd, what are you doing… What the fuck is this?"

Bakugou said his last words with a sinking voice, because this was not what he expected to see.

Izuku's entire skin was black. No, not from the blood and dirt, or the powdery substance that was in the grenades.

Izuku's entire skin was covered with a Black Whip, like a second skin, which in some places rolled with unnatural bundles, like worms or, more likely, snakes. Several tips of the Black Whip behind Izuku's back were stretched out in the likeness of spider legs ending in sickles.

His face was also covered with a "second skin", but his hair was developing in the air, although it was black, in place of his usual green. From his mouth and the corners of his eyes flowed a black-red substance, somewhat resembling oil, mixed with blood, and in place of the tongue was another tentacle of a black whip. The teeth were not white, but were black, from the whip that transformed them into the sharpest fangs, transforming his mouth from an ordinary human, into a terrifying toothy mouth.

But the eyes were the worst. Since his sclera was not white. The iris was not green.

The eye was almost black, with only a dark crimson sclera.

And this horrified Bakugou.

But it didn't matter how much it scared Bakuguo.

Only one thing was important.

"Bird Brain, Frog Eater, Octoass - detain him! Soy Sauce Face, Snow White - take Shitty Hair to a safe place. The rest-regroup and collect grenades from Ponytail! We must save him!"

Direct and clear orders were what was needed to bring classmates out of their stupor and inspire them again. To bring them back to the only necessary thought.

"Let's save him!"  

Try it, young heroes. 

                                                         ____                                                           

Kotei. Quirk: A glowing body.

It can dramatically create a large light flash for a while. From where, that is, there is information that his quirk depends on the stomach and he can shoot a laser from the stomach area.

The best option of confrontation is to quickly get close and hit the solar plexus, thereby stopping his breathing and limiting his use of the quirk. 

Buruhiji. Quirk: Double elbow.

Two pairs of his arms grow from his elbows, but there is unconfirmed information that he is physically stronger than an ordinary person, that he is able to grow additional limbs and turn them into mouths, eyes and ears.

The best option of confrontation is to break his humerus or the shoulder itself, in order to disrupt the use of his quirk. 

Kyuyami. Quirk: A Dark Ball.

It can create balls of unknown dark matter around itself. There is a strange information that this substance is the more in large volumes, the less around the world, as well as the fact that this substance is very strong, able to take the form of not only a ball, but also a reasonable one.

The only option for confrontation is to create a powerful light flash, then send she to a knockout. 

The battle tactic is to force Kotei to create a flash in the direction of Kyuyami, after which he causes her weak injuries so that Buhuruji helps him. At the same time, neutralize Kyuyami, who did not move away from the light flash and returning to Kotei, break Buhuruji's hands and finally neutralize Kotei with a strong blow to the stomach. 

You have always been waiting for me to take what you like for yourself, leaving me with nothing. Neither with my favorite things, nor with money, nor with a quiet time!

                                                         ____                                                            

When Yaomomo was handing out grenades to classmates, she saw Izuku creating a smoke screen. Because of the smoke, Yaomomo could only guess what was happening, she saw a bright flash of light and a strangled scream from Aoyama, along with a powerful roar of a Dark Shadow.

"Aoyama - hold on!"

It was shouting Shouji, who seemed to be heading in his direction, after which she heard his second scream.

"Tokoyami, be careful!"

And then anyone could hear Tokoyami's scream of pain, and his flight out of the smoke screen, made not by his will, followed by the crunch of broken bones, Shouji's scream and the further scattering of the veil behind which he was hiding…

A battlefield in which the living embodiment of a nightmare hung in the air, just as it had been many months ago when she was here.

It was a living monument to the monster that they felt then and feel again now…

Only instead of her own death, she saw her broken and quirkless body. A nightmare that haunted anyone who had ever seen All for One.

And there, three bodies were already lying there, which were terribly reminiscent of this nightmare of hers.

Tokoyami, whose feathers were covered in blood, Aoyama, lying unconscious and Shouji, looking at his broken arms.

But that wasn't the only thing that caught her attention. It was Izuku, or rather his lips.

They moved so fast, but not enough that it might seem that they were constrained by a spasm, but those who knew him understood what it was. Izuku was muttering.

Momo, studied lip reading and watched Izuku for a long time, because he was the most difficult example in her environment, on whom it was possible to hone this skill. And what she read put her at a loss.

"Kyuyami, Buruhiji, Kotei, I hate, it hurts… What does this even mean?" she said aloud, not noticing it.

And only then, she saw a change in the reaction of Bakugou, who had just approached. It was as if he was shackled.

He was shackled by pure horror, directed, apparently, inside himself.

"Bakugou, you clearly understood something! Tell…"

"Shut up Ponytail, it's none of your business. Better take the Raccoon Eyes, the Frog and the Tail, then drag these three away."

Momo immediately realized that there was some secret hidden here, but decided that it could be stopped for later, when her wounded classmates would be safe.

"Half n' Half bastard, Round Face, Four Eyes – you are next! Get through to the nerd's head and make him stop raving."

The class was in an even greater stupor than before, but these three were always the closest to Izuku. They had always been his friends.

He had saved them, and they would save him.

You are becoming more aware of the despair of your situation, young heroes. 

                                                         ____                                                            

Juzai. Quirk: Temperature guns.

She is able to turn her left hand into a Flamethrower, and her right hand into a Frostthrower. From the same unconfirmed source, she is able to create spheres and rays from fire, and huge icebergs from frost. From there, it is also known that she uses fire and frost all over her body.

The best option of the confrontation is to send she to the knockout. It can be easily used against allies. 

Hizume. Quirk: Bull.

She has the strength and speed of a bull. From an unknown source, she is faster, but less weak and maneuverable, as she should be. For some reason, she does not use her horns, preferring to use a kick instead, as if she has a jet accelerator in legs. From the same source, it is known that there are strange growths from the back of the lower leg, the removal of which will cause her hellish pain.

The best option for confrontation is either breaking the legs, or tearing these growths out. 

Kanyubi. Quirk: Levitation Telekinesis. She is able to lift objects into the air with the help of a certain movement of the hands. From the same unknown source, to do this, she needs to touch objects with all five fingers, making it strangely weightless, and then again touch the fingers of one palm to the fingers of the other, in order to regain its weight again. There are pads on the fingers that are responsible for this.

The best option for confrontation is to damage the pads on her fingers.

  You hated me especially much. You played with my feelings in order to take away the hope that appears again, at your whim. You set me up in front of the school and the teachers just to have fun, and how you loved to set Kacch... Katsuki on me. It's my turn to bring you pain. 

The tactic is to first neutralize Hizume and Kanyubi, then give them hope of victory, and then provoke Juzai to her strongest attack, under which to substitute these two. Finish everything by eliminating Juzai.

                                                         ____                                                            

Shouto didn't believe it was Izuku. Izuku has never been so cruel and apathetic. And it is impossible for him to fight with friends, not for the sake of helping them. During the Sports Festival, he paid with his body and a chance to win in order to help Shouto overcome his hatred and become a hero who completely gives himself for the sake of people. He fought Bakugou after Kamino in order to help him with something that you are sure of because of the change in their behavior. He did not finish the training battle due to the awakening of his Whip in order to help Shinsou with the transition to the hero’s course.

Right now, Izuku was definitely under someone's control or the effect of someone's quirk. Since the Dictator was frozen and shackled, and Izuku got out of control of Shinsou during the festival – he can only be under the effect of some kind of quirk.

Whether this could be a quirk of someone from the crowd or there is another villain here, Shouto did not know, and since it is unknown whether eliminating the villain or neutralizing a civilian will help, there is only one thing left.

Defeat his friend and bring him to UA.

And with the first part, huge problems have already arisen. Izuku has always been one, if not the strongest student of Class A, and everyone knows about his analytical abilities – it would not be an easy task to defeat him. What can he say about the fact that it will be extremely difficult to defeat him when he is ready to inflict serious injuries on his classmates? Nothing.

Thinking this, Shouto continued to zone Izuku with the help of ice walls, allowing Uraraka to carry out suppression attacks from the sky, and Iida to get closer to the strike distance, occasionally retreating for the duration of his fire attacks.

But Izuku obviously didn't care, because he dodged any attacks and demolished any of Shouto's obstacles, and even if something hit him, it had no effect on him…

He got too close to Iida, and Shouto shot a fire ray at him, but…

He grabbed Uraraka by the leg, with the help of a Whip, and put him right under Shouto's attack!

"Iida, help Uraraka!"

Izuku threw Uraraka aside, but it is clearly visible that her hands are burned. Damn!

Shouto throw another glacier at him, but Izuku dodges it and rushes straight at him!

"Todoroki!"

Iida runs up, clearly trying to stop Izuku, but he dodges behind his back and pulls out one of the exhaust pipes!

"No!"

Shouto's scream is accompanied by a shot of four fiery rays from his fingers at once, as well as two glaciers.

Izuku dodges the first glacier, passes all the rays, but falls on the second glacier!

Todoroki get closer in order to help Iida and Uraraka, but he sees how a cat hook flies into Izuku, partially frozen in the glacier, entwining his hands. Looking at the place where it came from, he sees Uraraka, from whose support object the hook flew out, as well as Iida, who helps her hold and pull the rope that immobilizes him.

"Come on!"

Even before Shouto have time to hear this scream, he is already going to use his strongest and fastest fire attack on Izuku when smoke does not start coming out of his mouth, completely blocking Shouto's view, but he remembers where he is and make his strike! 

"Prominence Burn!"

YES! YOU HIT RIGHT ON THE BULL'S-EYE! NOW YOU CAN RETURN HE TO UA, WHERE ALL OF YOU CAN…

When the smoke cleared, shock was reflected on Shouto's face, because he did not see Izuku unconscious in his front, but…

Iida and Uraraka were hanging limply in Izuku's arms. Smoke was coming from their burnt bodies, but it was clear that the same smoke was coming from Izuku's other hand, with which he took most of the damage.

His mouth was twisted in an evil grin, and he himself was not frozen in a glacier, but stood on the top, like a king, stands on the top, where he demonstrates to his army the defeated enemy generals.

Just looking at this picture makes Todoroki sick… He is remembering something that Shouto have been suppressing so hard.

Memories of less than a year ago, which took place in this very place.

The memory of the illusion of his own death.

But he doesn’t have time to think about this thought, as Izuku releases the hand of Iida and Uraraka, sending them flying fifteen meters long.

Shouto's body moves by itself, and only at the very end do he manage to catch them and, although hard, but safely land them, when he already sees the shadow of a living nightmare falling on him from above.

The last memory Shouto have is the metal sole of Izuku's shoes flying straight at him.

                                                         ____                                                            

 "Fucking Deku! Everyone, take these idiots and get as far away as possible! I take it completely on myself!"

"But Bakugou!"

"I said get out!"

And Bakugou rushed forward.

To his childhood friend.

To the source of his nightmares.

To the source of his guilt.

                                                         ____                                                            

Bakugou Katsuki. Quirk: Explosion.

His sweat glands secrete nitroglycerin, and also create sparks to ignite them. 

He is the source of your pain. 

On his hands he wears gloves in the form of grenades, which reduce the recoil on his hands, as well as accumulate his sweat, for a powerful directed explosion. 

With which he almost killed you. Twice. 

He has a huge experience in using quirks, a number of super techniques and natural combat skills. 

He honed a lot of this on your own skin. 

The only option for confrontation is to BREAK ALL OFF HIS BONES!

                                                         ____                                                            

"WELL, WHAT'S A NERD?! ARE YOU SATISFIED?! ARE YOU HAPPY THAT YOU BROKE THE BONES OF OUR CLASSMATES?! AND I'M NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THESE STUPID EXTRAS, BUT YOUR FRIENDS AND CLASSMATES? EH?!"

As much as Bakugou was not trying to show his courage right now, he was afraid. He was more afraid than he had ever been before.

He was afraid that his thoughts were flowing in the right direction.

He was afraid that it was he who led to such a result.

After all, if think about it, what was this situation like for Izuku, with his fatigue and pumping chemicals that Bakugou used to put him to sleep?

To their old class from Aldera. For many years, when he suppressed Izuku. When he was beating him up.

How he destroyed Izuku's mentally and physically. How he indulged only his Ego, which demands to destroy all those who are above him.

But how could he not be indulged, when this Nerd did not value his life not a bit to give up his dreams. 

And of course, we'll forget about who made him like this, right Katsuki? 

But now he has to pay for what Katsuki are guilty of. Fight him. Let him vent his emotions.

Like after the Kamino. And then beat the shit out of him and return him to UA.

"WELL, COME ON, NERD, SHOW WHAT YOU CAN DO!"

In the next second, Bakugou could already see Izuku's fist flying at him.

"Too fast!"

Only on pure instincts did Bakugou manage to escape from the attack, but the shock wave still touched him.

The shock wave was so strong that it destroyed a piece of asphalt and threw him into the air. He has to maneuver with the help of explosions and realizing that the best defense in this battle is an attack, he flies higher and prepare to attack Izuku with his strongest mass attack. 

"AP Machine-Gun!" 

But before he can react, Izuku grabs the statue of All Might with a Whip and throws it right at him!

Seeing the approach of his idol's face, Katsuki concentrates and with a pain in his heart unleashes the entire attack directly at him, destroying the statue into dust.

But suddenly, Izuku appears to his left, who makes an impossibly fast dash in his direction... and stops right in front of him. At first, he does not understand why he is doing this... 

Does he want to look into his eyes? Is there something he wants to tell him? Why did he stop? 

... until Bakugou begins to feel the air that received his momentum and hit him with the speed and mass of almost his entire body.

He is sent flying straight into the moat that was dug by his first attack.

He's in pain. All the air has been knocked out of his lungs, his back hurts, and the ribs on the right side, on which he landed, are clearly cracked.

And then he sees it right in front of him again. Him, ready to destroy Bakugou with his last attack…

When the black whip falls off his body like scales, and the lightning of OFA does not disappear, leaving Katsuki in front of his glass eyes, which clearly say that he is not here right now.

                                                         ____                                                            

"Ninth, stop what you are doing." 

The First was unhappy. It is a unique situation among the Vestiges that the First is dissatisfied with something. And even more surprisingly, the discontent of the First towards the Ninth. The one for whom he has an amazing amount of love and warmth. The same amount of warmth and respect, received only the Eighth. 

"You're going too far, Nine. The Second is absolutely right. You need someone to complement you."

Many other Vestiges did not agree with everything that the Second has said lately, but on this they are in solidarity. 

Izuku needs a partner. Someone to complement him. 

And they saw the ideal candidate in Bakugou Katsuki. 

And in response to Izuku's attempt to kill him or inflict serious injury on him, they could no longer stare blankly. 

They intervened and took Izuku's blessing for using their quirks. 

And now they just need to explain it to the Ninth.

"Understand, Ninth, the hero should not be alone. The hero always has friends to support him. Batman always has Robin. Superman always has Lois Lane. So you have to stop and ..."

The first did not have time to finish, because the Ninth finally turned in their direction. And in his eyes, they saw their death.

"Even so, Yoichi?"

There was so much rage, hatred, disappointment and poison in these words that everyone immediately understood. Izuku is not the same person they saw before. 

Not the boy who wanted to save Tenko Shimura. Not the kid who came to Kamino to save his opponent. Not the baby Eight met. 

Before them stood their revived nightmare. 

And the way he pronounced the name of the First caused the nonexistent blood of each of them to freeze tightly in their veins. 

"So when I, working to finally end this eternal confrontation, when I work to the bone, so as not to allow him to kill more people..." 

Every word he spoke was like the blows of a hammer. And every gesture he made was like a hellish cold that spread over their bodies, like dendrites and trichites spread over glass in winter. Like snakes crawling over their prey. Like ivy, twisting and destroying old ruins. 

"... when I separate myself from everyone, literally leaving them and banish away all the people dear to me in order to protect them from his attention, which is focused on me, like Sauron's attention is focused on the Ring - you deprive me of my only advantage and expose people dear to me the greatest danger of all?"

His words were slow, verified, with a well-placed accent, which even more reminded them of the measured work of a blacksmith, and the aura of cold bound them, and at any attempt to do at least something, it only squeezed them even harder, finally becoming their anvil. 

"Ninth, you don't understand..." said First, making the biggest mistake of his post-life. 

"I DON'T UNDERSTAND?! OF COURSE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I HAVE BEEN ENDURED ALL THIS! I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW I CAN TRUST YOU!" 

These words were no longer a hammer, but a sword that pierced each of their hearts. 

The shadow of the Eighth tried to calm the Ninth, but he only brushed it off, scattering it in space and continued. 

"You do not have the right to tell me, you do not have the right to command me, demand or even somehow interfere in my life!" 

These words were so destructive to them that all the space they had was covered with cracks and almost fell apart. 

But then Vestiges nightmare not only came to life, but became a reality. 

The Ninth grabbed the First by the throat and said: "Now GIVE ME MY QUIRKS!" 

And then all the Vestiges, and especially the First, recognized their Death in those eyes. 

Death that visited each of them. Death, that wanted to take what it considered its own and nothing could stop it along the way. 

And the Vestiges could not refuse this demand ... 

                                                         ____                                                            

You returned to reality again and once again felt the power of One for All flowing through you. The power that belongs only to you. 

Along with this, you felt the stance in which you are standing. A stance ready to strike from top to bottom there, and where you were going to strike, you see... 

You fly off to the side, running away from what you see here. And then, right behind this you are overtaken by the memories of everything that happened. 

How you annihilated your UA classmates, seeing them as classmates from Aldera. How you broke their bones and exposed them to their own attacks. How you hurt your best friends. How did you not hesitate to use the symbol of your teacher's triumph as defense and as attack. How you hurt, your childhood friend, who only brought you pain. How you chained and demanded the Vestiges inside the quirk. 

How you dispelled your teacher's Shadow. 

It makes you feel sick.

You vomit right on the ground. 

You cough up blood, bile and chemicals that put you to sleep. 

But right after that you realize that your mind has cleared up a little and you... You don't feel anything. 

A state of passion, your brain tells you. You realize how terrible all this is a little later, when you either wake up after passing out, or after you find some safe place. And now your brain only thinks about one thing. You need to save your classmates from yourself. And if most of the class is afraid to follow you, and your friends got serious injuries that will put them on the bed with Healing Girl for a long time, then here is Bakugou... 

In whatever condition he is, he will follow you. 

In for a penny in for a pound. 

Since you have already committed so many terrible deeds, then stopping now means turning all your previous sacrifices into nothing. 

And that means you need to commit your last act, which will make all previous sacrifices at least in some way valuable. 

You need to stop Bakugou now. Once and for all. 

But how to do that? 

And then two thoughts run into your brain at the same time. 

First, Bakugou blames himself in front of you. He blames himself for all these years of your personal torture chamber that you couldn't escape from until you got One for All. 

And second, Bakugou is afraid of AFO and You. He fears AFO for being a tool for him. Afraid that it was he who became the final cog that set in motion the plan to destroy All Might. And to be afraid of You, because you remind him of AFO. By your quirk, by your mumbling, by yourself.  

You are like AFO... 

And then the most disgusting plan you have ever imagined is born in your brain. 

The plan is so terrible that only now, when you do not feel anything, when your mind is clear, and nothing but pure rationalism is capable of guiding you, can you fulfill it ...  

Well, it's time to play the role of the Emperor of the Underworld. 

There really is a small question... 

"What's so white in front of my eyes? And hey, using the whip in this way removes all the dirt from me?" 

                                                         ____                                                            

Bakugou lay there and did not understand what was happening. He did not understand why Izuku abruptly turned off the OFA, and then turned it on again and flew away. 

And even more, his body did not understand why it was still alive? Why does it still hurt, if, in theory, it should now take off to the halls of the Almighty? 

Bakugou continued to lie, trying to grasp several things at once, until he heard a shout. 

"Will you lie there for a long time, Great Explosive Murder God Dynamight?!" 

It was Izuku's voice. A voice that sounded funny and even cheeky, which is unusual for him, but the main thing that surprised Bakugou was that Izuku was talking. 

The mad beast created by Katsuki's efforts was silent and could only mutter silently. 

Katsuki rose abruptly from the crater to see what had happened and saw Izuku with white hair and black and red lightning whips flying around him, naked to the waist and clean of dirt. 

It immediately seemed to you that something was wrong with him, but you did not fully understand that... 

"Is it really you, the one to blame for the fall of All Might, decided to arrange a minute of inactivity because you destroyed his statue?" 

Those words pierced Bakugou like an arrow. Because Deku couldn't say that... He couldn't say that, because Bakugou is not guilty... 

"Or maybe you want to give at least some hope to the pitiful extras so that you seem more heroic against their background?" 

All this was said in the tone of someone who was superior to you. Izuku's face wore a crooked grin that resembled sharks. 

"Oh no, I know, you came up with a plan for the best way to win? No, no, no... You already knew how to induce, but you just decided to take a little rest, in order to show your dominance later!" 

There are no words left in you, only pure rage. 

WHAT IS THIS NERD DOING AT ALL?! 

With a quick explosion you approach him... 

... only to be bound by the branches of the whip that have escaped from the ground. 

"You know, it was always interesting for me to try out one funny combination, but I couldn’t get it, this requires an experienced viewer, and it would bring too much destruction, but now... Now I don’t care. Fa Jin is 100% charged and OFA is 100% Smash. Great Shockwave." 

Izuku spread his arms in the direction of the area where the AFO hit the last time and...

He clapped his hands... 

... further in the direction of the clap, a shock wave went. It crushed the earth into small crumbs and picked it up, transmitting its impulse, turning it into such a small, but so fast shrapnel, whose cloud pierced the building like shelling from a large-caliber machine gun, after which the building was demolished by the shock wave itself, I turn it not into shrapnel, but into the huge shells that demolished the buildings behind them, row by row... 

When the smoke settled, there was nothing ahead but a huge crater, in which there was not even stone dust... 

This was the second. Second Ground Zero. Second Disaster in Kamino, but this time there was no one to stop Kamino Scourge. This time the Kamino Scourge was the one who was his enemy. 

"Even the AFO hasn’t brought so much destruction..." 

These words escaped Katsuki as he was shocked. When he lost the connection between the world that he knew and the world that was now before his eyes... 

"Oh, thank you very much! This is a very good combination, but next time I will need to tweak it a bit, otherwise I didn't really like the penetrating damage, and the crater doesn't stretch that far. But I want to go further, deeper, more deadly!" 

Bakugou didn't know what to think, he didn't know what to do. The only thing he could do was say, "Why?" 

"Why, Katsuki? Because I'm sick of it all. I'm tired of your playing as a hero. And yes, I say Game because I can't say with even 1% certainty that you are not playing. Who are you? You are Great Explosive Murder God Dynamight, the one who always wins! The one who is always ahead and always knows everything for everyone, because you were born with such a magnificent quirk."

The last words echoed in Bakugou's soul with a terrifying wave, frightening his whole being, and this horror only intensified when he heard the muttering and a look that was not looking at him, but at something inside him. 

A look and a mutter that you hated and feared all your life. 

"But you know what? With such a quirk, you'd better forget about Pathetic and Useless Deku. After all, what a bad luck, it will be easily taken from you if you continue it. And not only AFO, but me too can do it..." 

At that moment, Izuku grabbed your wrist and squeezed it, squeezed it until it hurt, and then continued. 

"Do you know that if you break your wrists, then your hands will no longer be so good at dampening the recoil from your explosions? On the contrary, they will only lead to more pain, which, sooner or later, will become simply unbearable. And if you endure this and continue to use your quirk, your bones will turn to dust, and you can never use your hands or your quirk again." 

Cold sweat covered you all over. You are terrified, because someone you know could not speak like that, but... He did say it. And you saw in this not another person, or the fact that he did it not of his own free will. 

This was a man you knew well. The man who never threw words to the wind. 

And that makes you sick. 

"But do you know why I, a Wicked and Useless Deku, would do that? You understand, Katsuki, that I didn't always think I was that way. That I wasn't always a Pathetic Deku. No, I was Midoriya Izuku. A boy of about four, with a kind heart. But one day, I didn't get a quirk. I didn't become special like the others. But I was still myself. But did it matter to Kacchan who got his dream quirk? Was it important to Katsuki Bakugou, who was praised by everyone, because he is the ideal hero of the future? Is this important for Dynamight, who decided to save the pathetic, stupid, not thinking about himself Deku? Not if you don't look at it from the point of view that Katsuki Bakugou has created the perfect toy for himself. A toy that has been led to believe it is useless. And who took it with all her soul. Which got into trouble, from which you could easily save her, but you know what... I'm tired of this game, Bakugou. I am no longer Deku, and you are no longer Kacchan. Goodbye Great Explosive Murder God Dynamight." 

And then, Izuku disappeared... 

Bakugou realized himself only when his classmates came to him and they asked only one thing: "What happened?!" 

But instead of answering, they saw for the first time that he was crying. 

                                                         ____                                                            

Izuku run. 

He ran as far as he could, for with every second he acted out the role, his heart filled with pain that surpassed everything he knew before. 

He didn't believe a single word he said, but his mind just kept on saying those words. Ruthlessly, with a grin and poison. With fatigue and cold.  With what he never wanted and does not want to be. 

He spoke like AFO. And when Izuku finally fell, when he could no longer run... He cried. 

He cried and screamed about everything he had done. For which only he is to blame, and that it is unlikely that it will be built. 

He burned all the bridges. 

Now he is alone. 

Alone, forever... 

                                                         ____                                                            

AFO arrived as quickly as he could. He saw the destruction that the Ninth Owner did with his own eyes, so to speak about the faceless Symbol of Evil. 

He went to where the child was waiting for him. A child, almost 17 years old, curled into a fetal position and asleep in it.  A child who did not stop crying even in his sleep.

A child with white hair, green eyes and a broken soul.

"You did a good job, poor little Izuku. You are finally alone and finally deciding everything for yourself. Doing everything for yourself. For your happiness. Now sleep. Sleep and gain strength. You still have a lot to go through in this life. So much to endure and so much to learn..."  

Isn't it, little one?
