An Explosive Start

"ARRGHHHH!!!" Bakugo screamed as he shot towards Aiden with rage.

"Heh." Aiden smiled and held his arm out.

Seeing that he wasn't even trying to dodge, Bakugo's rage soared as he felt the wind blow against his face.

"DIEE!!" Igniting the sweat on his palms, he thrust it forward before detonating.

"BAKUGO WAIT!!" Kirishima yelled when he saw Aiden and Bakugo's palms about to clash.

Unfortunately nothing could stop Bakugo as the two palms finally clashed and Bakugo unleashed a powerful explosion that caused Kirishima to be sent flying back from the shock wave.

*BOOM!!*

*FWOOSH!!*

Strong gusts of wind erupted from the clash as the ground trembled and a smoke cloud covered the two figures.

Watching the clash from the viewing platform, the teachers and everyone left from class 1B waited with baited breaths.

'Aiden...' Tendo clenched her fist after watching him take the brunt of the explosion head on.

'Bakugo you little bitch! If so much as a hair on his head is singed I'll turn your life is to a living nightmare.' Midnight thought digging her nails into her arms.

"What the hell was that?" Mina looked towards the direction of the explosion and asked with uncertainty.

"Bakugo must have found Aiden." Sero replied also looking in the same direction.

"We need to hurry." Deku said taking charge of the situation.

"Right." Everyone nodded.

Pushing himself up from the ground, Kirishima struggled to his feet as the dust cloud was finally starting to clear.

'Bakugo... Did you do it?'

Thinking about the power of that attack, Kirishima couldn't imagine Aiden being able to walk away from it unscathed. Unfortunately, the next second caused him to rethink that sentiment.

"Not bad Bakugo, you almost made me take a step back." Aiden's voice suddenly echoed out.

"What!!" Kirishima and the people on the viewing platform gasped.

Now that the dist cloud had cleared away, it revealed the scene of Aiden standing firmly in place while a purple glow surrounded his right hand. Still holding it out in front of him, the sight of a slightly burnt Bakugo could be seen as his palm had been stopped by Aiden's.

"W-What the hell..." He stuttered.

Not waiting for Bakugo to say another word, Aiden activated burst on his palm and sent Bakugo flying back towards Kirishima.

*CRASH!!*

"URGHH!"

Landing hard on the ground, Bakugo's body rolled over towards Kirishima.

"BAKUGO!!" Kirishima yelled and ran over to check on him.

"GET OFF ME!!" Bakugo screeched as pushed Kirishima away and got to his feet.

'Not bad indeed, who would have guessed that using astral weight manipulation to ground myself and burst to reverse the direction of the impact and explosion, I was able to not only avoid being damaged, I even managed to turn Bakugo's own attack back on him.'

Looking at his unscathed palm, Aiden couldn't help but hum to himself.

'This might be more educational than I previously thought.'

Looking away from his palm and back up to a raging Bakugo and stunned Kirishima, Aiden stuck his hand out and did the 'Come at me' motion.

"How dare you look down on me... I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'LL KILL YOU!!"

Thrusting his arms back, Bakugo released another powerful explosion and shot towards Aiden.

'Hmm, I wonder what new songs Mei has added to my playlist.'

Touching the side of his headphones, music started playing as the distance between him and Bakugo lessened.

*Music starts*

'Wait a minute? This sounds familiar!'

*Do you wanna build a snowman?*

'WTF! Did she really add-

*Come on, lets go and play!'

'Oh god she did!!'

*I never see you anymore*

"ARRRGHHHHH!!!" Bakugo screamed.

*Come out the door, its like you've gone awayyy.'

'...Oh fuck it!' Aiden decided to roll with it.

*We use to be best buddies.*

*BOOM!!*

*And now we're not.*

Dodging Bakugo's kick, whilst listening to the music, Aiden found this weirdly serene.

*I wish you would tell me whyy!!*

Grabbing onto his outstretched leg, Aiden manipulated his own weight to help him swing Bakugo around before using burst to let go and send him flying in the air.

*Do you wanna build a snowman? It doesn't have to be a snowmannn.. Go Away Anna, Okay Byee..*

*Instrumental music*

'Why did she add this?'

*Do you wanna build a snowman?*

"ARGHH!!"

*Or ride our bikes around the halls?*

Now in the air, Bakugo used his explosions to shoot back down towards Aiden.

"DIEE!!"

*I think some company is overdue.*

'Is he still screaming that?'

*I've started to the pictures on the walls!*

"DIE! DIE!! DIE!!"

*It gets a little lonely. All these empty rooms.*

Pushing his hands in front of his falling figure, Bakugo unleashed a massive explosion that threaten to cover not only Aiden, but the surround area around him as well.

*BOOM!!*

"DIEEEEE!!!"

*Watching the hours tick byy!!*

'Hasn't he learnt that blindly doing this doesn't work?'

*Sigh*

*Do you wanna build a snowman?*

Raising his hand in the air, Aiden sighed.

*It doesn't have to be a snowman...*

"Burst."

Compressing and releasing the astral energy around his hand, Aiden created a massive shock-wave that easily countered Bakugo's explosion and sent it shooting back up at him.

*WHOOSH!!*

"Wha-WHAAAAAA!!" Seeing the explosion racing back towards him, Bakugo's eyes went wide as he pushed his right hand to the side and released a powerful explosion in order to evade the ascending force.

'FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!'

Falling back to the ground, Bakugo felt the amount of sweat on his body increase as the heat from previous attack caused him to sweat with worry.

"Yo Bakugo, you okay?" Kirishima asked once he had landed.

*Heavy Breathing*

"I'm fine." He answered wiping off some sweat from his forehead.

After tanking that initial attack and barely avoiding this last one, Kirishima could see that Bakugo's state was far from fine. They hadn't been fighting for long but Aiden already had Bakugo breathing heavily despite not moving from his position.

'This guy... he really is a monster.' Kirishima smiled.

"Hey Bakugo." He called while looking at Aiden's figure. "I know that you don't like this but, we're gonna have to team up if we're gonna beat him."

'Or at least hold him back until Midoriya and the others arrive.'

"Fuck that noise!" Bakugo spat. "The future number 1 hero doesn't need help to take down one fuck face!"

Seeing them bicker, Aiden wanted to try something on them while he had the chance.

'I think it went like this...'

Putting his arms behind him and lowering his stance, Aiden got into a very familiar stance.

This didn't go unnoticed to the eyes of Bakugo and Kirishima.

"Hey Bakugo, isn't that your-

"Burst."

*BOOM!!*

Releasing a powerful burst from his hands, Aiden shot forward like a bullet.

-Viewing Platform-

Watching the fight between Aiden and Bakugo, nobody was surprised that Aiden hadn't taken any damage. But his current stance... that was another matter.

"Aizawa-san." Midnight called. "Isn't that-

"Yeah." He cut her off a squinted at the screen. "Its Bakugo's stance."
