Chapter 12: Ch. 12
It was now Izuku and Yaoyorozu's turn to go up. As the villain team, they had to wait in the room, and were free to set up traps. That's exactly what Yaoyorozu set out to do. It was her specialty after all. Even if she was sure they wouldn't need them, she figured a little extra reinforcement couldn't possibly hurt.
Iida and Bakugou also had five minutes to prepare in any way they needed. In those five minutes, they were able to swiftly set up Bakugou's plan.
"Yaoyorozu, will I even need to do anything?" asked Izuku with a wry smile on his face. He looked at the layers upon layers of traps that were set up in the vicinity.
"Don't be ridiculous, as if this would stop them." She said as she looked over the multitude of traps. She was slightly regretful that she only had five minutes. With more time, she surely would have been able to construct a greater defense.
After they heard the signal to begin, Izuku immediately set to work. Closing his eyes, he let his senses envelop the building.
However, Katsuki and Iida were nowhere to be found.
...
One building over, on the rooftop, stood two figures. One had a manic grin spread across his face. The other one seemed to be calculating something as he looked at a building not too far away from them.
On the ground, was a large grenade. This was one of the grenades Bakugou used to store up his sweat.
"Ok, Engines, you know where to aim. As soon as we get the signal, let loose." said the sandy-blonde, clearly excited for what was about to happen.
Following the plan, when Iida heard the signal to start, he began to spin. On his leg rested the grenade that held Bakugou's sweat. Using one leg as a focal point, Iida revved the engine on his other leg, allowing him to build up a great amount of speed.
This was a dangerous plan, but they both acknowledged that this was their only chance for success. Katsuki had already set his grenade up so that it would explode upon a great enough impact. That's where Iida's momentum would come in.
Iida had already reached an extremely fast speed. He acted as a top, spinning quickly. When, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bakugou make a motion with his hand, he grunted, and released the grenade at the agreed upon point.
It flew through the air, and would land at any second. It was on a path straight for a window on one of the upper floors. They knew that in one of the rooms just next to it was where the so-called 'villains of this scenario resided.
…..
Izuku was slowly spreading out his senses when something flew into their perimeter. In just a second, Izuku recognized it as one of the grenades that Kacchan made as part of his suit.
His face immediately paled. Acting quickly, he did many things at once. He first pulled Yaoyorozu behind him with telekinesis. As he did so, he was also deconstructing the nitroglycerin within the grenade. However, even while doing that, he was still trying to get a grip on his surroundings. He could still see the entire building within his Mind's Eye.
He had to do this delicately, he couldn't just wantonly RIP apart the bonds in the nitroglycerin, as there was a high chance that they would just reform again. Thinking as fast as he could, Izuku decided to tear the grenade apart, and let the nitroglycerin sit there in the air as he dealt with it.
To do so, he had to limit the amount of focus he put on everything else. He limited his Mind's Eye to just the floor they were on by choice. That way, he should still be able to react in time to anything that came their way.
It was a good thing he did, as not even a second later, two figures burst through the window. It looked like Kacchan was riding Iida. That was a sight you didn't see often.
Izuku smiled when he saw Yaoyorozu already in a stance, bo staff in her hands. Izuku, by now, could have already easily restrained one of the two 'heroes' bursting through the window, despite being preoccupied.
However, he held back. This was because, just a few feet in front of the two flying in, there was a tripwire. Izuku had thought it unnecessary that Yaoyorozu put a trap in such an awkward spot, but he guessed he just wasn't thinking outside the box.
Izuki refrained from acting just yet, allowing their 'enemies' to activate the tripwire. Going from there, he should be able to handle it easily. On top of that, he was nearly finished pulling apart the nitroglycerin. In just a few seconds, he would be able to completely focus on what was happening inside the room.
Following their momentum, Iida and Katsuki triggered the tripwire. As they did, a circle of rope that hey hadn't seen before quickly tightened around Iida's ankles. He was dragged quickly to the ceiling, where he was now hanging upside down.
Iida looked around, confused. One second he was on the fast track to the paper mache bomb, and the next he was dangling upside down and unable to do anything about it.
Katsuki, who was previously riding on the back of Iida, reacted quick enough to jump off of him before he reached the ceiling. Katsuki wasn't expecting it, but quickly recovered. He ran towards Izuku, capture tape already in his hands.
However, mid stride, he started to float up in the air. Thinking quickly, he put his arms behind him and tried to propel himself forward with explosions. His plan was doomed from the beginning, Izuku had already torn apart the nitroglycerin in his sweat. With no way to move, Katsuki just sighed and allowed himself to float there in mid air.
Izuku, who had had his eyes closed for the entire encounter, finally opened them. He started making his way toward Katsuki, capture tape ready.
BOOM
Just as he was about to capture Katsuki, an explosion shook the building. Three of the figures in the room were shocked, and one had a shit-eating grin on his face. Katsuki laughed when he saw the look on Izuku's face.
"C'MON IZU, you think I came here without some sort of a backup plan?"
He kept his grin there, even as more explosions went off. Soon, the entire building was rumbling. Yaoyorozu shrieked when she felt the building start to tilt and slide. Iida started to vigorously squirm in his bindings as he screamed incoherently at his partner. Katsuki just laughed madly from his position frozen in the air.
...
All Might watched the scene before him, face totally deadpan. He was trying his hardest not to laugh when he saw Iida's mouth begin to foam.
Behind him, the other students were freaking out.
"Hey, shouldn't someone, like, help them out or something!"
A spiky redhead shouted, anxiously looking towards All Might's figure. He wasn't sure why the number one hero was watching this potentially disastrous situation without any sort of apprehension whatsoever. Why was he just standing there?
The other students, hearing Kirishima speak up, also started muttering among themselves. Some were so stressed by the chaotic scene that they couldn't even say anything. They could see the entirety of the building losing it's foundations. Given another 30 or so seconds, it will have totally collapsed.
They watched with bated breaths, wondering many things. What will the participants do? Why was All Might not acting?
...
In the building, Izuku calmly took a breath and closed his eyes once more. Within seconds the entire building was lifted into the air. Then, as if turning back time, the crumbled remains of the bottom few floors began to build themselves back up. In just a few seconds, they were totally repaired.
Izuku gently settled the top floors that they were on back onto the base of the building. It seemed like nothing had even happened. Then, without so much as a pause to take a breath, Izuku used his telekinesis to manipulate the capture tape around Katsuki and Iida.
All Might's voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"STUDENTS IIDA AND KATSUKI HAVE BEEN CAPTURED! CONGRATULATIONS, VILLAIN TEAM, YOU WIN!"
Yaoyorozu breathed a sigh of relief, still shaking slightly. Iida's jaw defied gravity as he let it hang wide open while he was still upside down. Katsuki simply smiled, resigned, as if this outcome was something he expected. Izuku didn't have much a reaction as well, and just opted to hold his arm out for Katsuki. Katsuki, from his position on the floor, smiled and grabbed the offered hand.
...
All Might smiled at this show of comradery. It was good to see that despite his normally volatile actions, Katsuki could still get up from a hit without any problems.
The others from class 1A were in shock. It had already been a whole minute since the building was literally flying, but nobody had recovered yet. Finally, a blonde boy was able to show his shock.
"W-woaw…"
He said in an odd French accent. He looked at the seemingly ordinary green-haired boy. With a flamboyant flip of his hair, he sighed lamentably.
"Ah, mon ami, will I ever be able to sparkle that greatly."
He said to himself. Around him, sparkles started to appear for no reason.
Everyone else ignored the self-centered faux Frenchman, and began to chat excitedly amongst each other.
Ashido was animatedly reenacting the events they had just seen. It involved more arm waves and sound effects than words, though.
In one corner, Todoroki's mismatched eyes were narrowed. His jaw was clenched as he thought about what that average looking boy was capable of.
As the group who were just fighting entered the room, multiple cheers rang out. People started to congratulate them, and tell them how awesome it was. Even though most of it was aimed toward Izuku, some students still gave the others credit.
"MARVELOUS JOB, STUDENTS! NOW, CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHO THE MVP OF THIS MATCH WAS?"
All Might's smile brightened the room. Everybody, of course, had the same person in their minds.
Tooru Hagakure, the invisible girl, was the one who was called on.
"Ooh, oooh! It would be Midoriya. He was all like WHOOSH and then everything was all good and it was amazing!"
She was clearly caught up in the mood just like everyone else, causing her to give a… less than stellar explanation.
All Might just chuckled, amused at the young girl's enthusiasm.
"YES, YOUR ANSWER IS CORRECT. YOUNG MIDORIYA HAD CONTROL OF THE SITUATION THE WHOLE TIME. EVEN IN THE FACE OF UNEXPECTED, AND ADMITTEDLY DRASTIC, CIRCUMSTANCES, HE KEPT CALM AND RESOLVED THEM."
All Might smiled broadly and nodded towards Izuku, who blushed a little, but still held his head high. Nobody was even slightly surprised that Izuku was given heavy amounts of praise. It was to be expected after that display.
"OF COURSE, DON'T FORGET THAT OTHERS ALSO HAD IMPORTANT PARTS. YOUNG BAKUGOU DEVELOPED A PLAN, WHICH GAVE THEM EVEN A SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE FACE OF OVERWHELMING ODDS. ALTHOUGH IT WAS DANGEROUS, IT TOOK INTO ACCOUNT THE STRENGTH AND ABILITIES OF THE OPPONENT."
Katsuki grinned wildly, clearly pleased with the recognition he was receiving. Also more than grateful that he wasn't being heavily reprimanded.
"YOUNG IIDA WAS AN INTEGRAL PART OF BAKUGOU'S PLAN, EVEN IF HE WAS TAKEN OUT A BIT EARLY."
All Might said in good humor. Iida himself gave a small smile at that, and was happy that he was seen as somewhat useful.
"YAOYOROZU'S CLEVER FORWARD THINKING AND USE OF TRAPS WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE. ONE OF THESE TRAPS EVEN APPREHENDED AN ENEMY. THIS ALSO TOOK ANY POTENTIAL STRAIN OFF OF YOUNG MIDORIYA, ALLOWING HIM TO HANDLE HIMSELF MORE EASILY."
Yaoyorozu was glad that someone thought she was useful, even if she didn't really feel like she did anything. She was even more delighted when she saw Izuku smiling and nodding along to All Might's words.
Izuku saw her looking at him, and gave her a thumbs up and a toothy grin. She blushed and hurriedly looked away. Izuku nervously wondered if he had embarrassed her, but decided not to worry about it. He instead listened to All Might as he continued to teach.
"REMEMBER STUDENTS, NO MATTER HOW AMAZING ONE PERSON ON A TEAM MAY BE, YOU ARE ULTIMATELY A TEAM. EVERYONE DOES THEIR PART, AND THEY ARE ALL IMPORTANT."
With that inspiring message, some students began to revere All might even more. They were personally weak, but if even the single most dazzling hero says that everyone on a team is important, then they could strive to help their team.
It was still school, so the matches continued. The hubbub over Izuku's quirk wouldn't calm down even after a few of them, continuing to be the center of conversations.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
TheMurderBunny
TheMurderBunny Meant to have this out earlier, but some stuff came up.
Anyways, tell me what you think. I added in one sound effect in there, just to see what people think.
Also, for those of you who are disgruntled over the slow release schedule. I want you to know that I have my own life as well, and that this is something I do very far on the side.
Don't worry about that, though. I hope you enjoyed, and drop a comment and review if you like!
