Kirishima and Shoto both pulled themselves together, then rushed in to help Bakugo take on the green hooded villain, together.

All three hero students ganged up on the one villain that had proved to be a bigger handful than the rest of the whole army of criminals that attacked them.

Deku ducked, weaved, dodged, blocked and parried every punch, kick and blow sent his way.

His vision became a blur as he whizzed to face the hard-skinned, ice powered, and explosive heroes-in-training, one after the other.

Deku then saw a window of opportunity to cause the trio some damage. As the three students lunged forward with their quirks activated, Deku simultaneously tripped Kirishima into Todoroki, shoved Todoroki into Bakugo, and knocked Bakugo into Kirishima, causing all three to hit the other with their quirks.

The trio of heroes in training went flying across the area. Bakugo lifted himself up off the ground, the left half of his body covered in frost. "Watch where your aiming, Half 'n' half!"

"You okay, Shoto?" Kirishima grunted as he propped himself up. "Sorry about ramming into you like that."

"It's fine." Todoroki lifted his head at the bunny-eared villain who just took them all down...again.

Deku took in the sight of each of the heroes-in-training he just outwitted. He almost couldn't believe it...he was winning.

He was actually winning! Against three hero students, which an incredibly powerful quirk each, at once!

He was winning against Bakugo!

It was enough to make the Quirkless child break out into a fit of mad, raucous laughter. He lifted his head to the heavens, laughing like a lunatic for all to hear.

His frenzied merriment became so loud, it echoed across the whole USJ facility. Hero students near and far could hear the reverberating howling of happiness and were chilled to the bone by the frightening sound.

After a disturbingly long while, Deku began to come out of his frantic happiness. He then turned to face Bakugo once more, whose face was a mix of perplexed anger.

The green hooded villain decided to raise his arm toward the bomb boy and gestured with his hand for him to 'Come Get Some'.

Bakugo's eyes flashed with white-hot rage. "...That does it..."

The bomb boy picked himself up off the ground slowly. When he was back on his feet, he raised his right arm and for the handle of his grenade gauntlet with his left, hooking his finger through a small pin. His expression turned from enraged hostility to a manic, menacing smirk.

Kirishima shot to his feet the moment the bomb boy took his stance. His mind brought up the mock battle between Bakugo, Iida, Ochako and Itsuka, and how the bomb boy utterly laid into the girls without mercy.

It was at the end of the fight when All Might had to threaten Katsuki with suspension, that he made the exact same stance.

And just like back then, he had a really bad feeling about what the bomb boy intended to do. "Katsuki, wait!"

His plea was too late. Bakugo pulled the pin.

A wave of flaming death was fired from the bomb boy's gauntlet. The searing hot surge hurtled toward Deku, who was too late to get out of the blast's way.

Throwing his arms up in a last-ditch effort to protect himself, he took the eruption head-on.

The explosion sent a shockwave out across the dome for all to feel. Kirishima and Shoto were beside themselves with shock and awe.

"Geez, Bakugo..." The hard-skinned boy managed to find his voice first. "Were you trying to kill him or something?"

As the flaring heat began to subside, Bakugo smirked at his victory. "Please! If he was tough enough to take on the likes of us all at once, then he should be tough enough to handle a blast like that easy! And if not, then I guess he wasn't so-"

"Nice gear."

Bakugo froze. He whipped his head around to where the voice came from. However, the smoke from his attack was still thick in the air, blanketing the area in an unseeable fog.

As Bakugo tried to peer through his own smoke, Deku managed to sneak up behind him and grab him from behind.

He wrapping his right arm around the bomb boy's neck and with his left, pinned the bomb boy's left gauntlet to his chest in front of him with the glove section pointed right up at his face. "I see the support classes of UA are still the best in all of Japan."

Bakugo would have blasted the bunny-earned villain off his back, but the way he had him held made it so that if he were to let off an explosion, he'd catch himself in it. And that fact irritated him to no end.

"Let me guess...the explosive sweat from for palms gets stored into these gauntlets, allowing you to let them off in one gigantic blast like that one." Deku deduced as he nodded his head at the explosion that was recently unleashed. "You always did like to put on a good show..."

"I don't know who you think you are, but if you don't let me up in the next three seconds, I'm gonna-!" Bakugo's threat was cut off when the villain reached for his gauntlet with his right hand, paying close attention to the pin sticking out of the handle.

A Feral grin appeared on the young analyst's face underneath his mask. "I wonder if you're tough enough can take what you dish out..."

Bakugo could only turn his head and snarl into the villain's visor.

All of a sudden, the ground quaked beneath their feet, causing them to look at where the small cataclysm came from.

All Might and the Nomu were engaged in a test of strength, each of them clasping the other hands in a clash of dominance.

Shigaraki was giggling up a storm as he watched the symbol of peaceful struggle. "Look at you...still putting up the act of the brave hero. You go around, making yourself seem like your invincible."

"That you can get away with beating down us poor, lowly commoners. Let's face it, you're just a glorified poster boy for this rotten society, able to get away with as much violence as you want. You're no better than us!"

The Nomu groaned as it pushed the mighty hero back a few inches, the symbol of peace grunting in reaction. "Don't give me that! You're not doing this because of some self-righteous purpose! This is all just some twisted game to you! You're loving every bit of this!"

The hand-man then broke out into a fit of unhinged cackling. "You got me! This is a game, and I am loving every moment of this!"

Deku watched the conflict from afar, keeping Bakugo in his grasp. He hated to admit it, but Shigaraki was right.

If his hypothesis was correct that the number one hero had been using his strength beforehand, then All Might was practically running on fumes.

Could...could this be it? Was All Might really going to...?

Toshinori grimaced as the wound in his side let itself be known with a harsh sting once more.

How could he not have seen that coming?! If he was still in his prime, he would have slipped out of that tight spot like it was nothing.

The knowledge of his impending end weighed heavy on his mind. Oh, how he hated getting old...

But that wasn't important right now. This ugly mook was proving itself to be quite the handful, and on top of that, he only had about a minute left in his 'All Might Form' before he completely ran out of power. If he pushed himself any further, it could mean his end!

...But that's what he was here for, wasn't it?

How was this any different from his life before? Putting himself in the path of danger for the sake of others! shining a light of hope to all who needed it! Fighting back for forces of evil, and striking down injustice wherever it stood!

And he still had work to do. While he was fighting this freak of nature, the boy who showed him the spirit of a hero one year ago was still out there.

And he had to find him, and tell him that he could still become the hero he wanted to be! To become the next great hero after All Might!

That is what he became! That is who he is! That is why he is...

THE WORLD'S NUMBER ONE SYMBOL OF PEACE!

All Might smacked the beast's arms away from him and began to rain down a thunderous hailstorm of fists.

The Nomu tried to fight back, keeping as much pace with its target's blows as it could. But All Might proved to be much faster and stronger than the hand-man hoped not to be.

The flurry of brutality caused a shockwave that hit everyone present in the teeth.

Deku managed to keep hold of Baukgo throughout the whole ordeal, but his eyes were glued to the fight, and he couldn't tear them away even if he tried.

"I...can't...get in there...!" Kurogiri groaned as he tried and failed to morph himself to Nomu's side, but the whipping wind of the fight was too powerful for him.
