Chapter 7: Collapse

You weren't very excited to get your hero costume, being you never designed one. Why? Well no custom design could fit the properties of your quirk very well. You just sent in your measurements to the school and let them go crazy with it with a request of a handheld weapon. A quirk that allows you to create white bubbles from your hands with status effects depending on what you want. You could just slightly determine the difference between the bubbles though. Like the bubble had a blue tint to its white exterior if it contained ice, a red tint if it contained explosions, and a yellow tint if it contained electricity in which could stun your opponent. The downside to this quirk, you the user cannot pop the bubbles unless a weapon or projectile is used instead. Goes back to the first day when you created a large explode-o-bubble then threw a baseball at it for the bubble to explode.

Your first attempted design consisted of a white body form suit with white bubbles covering every square inch of your body. Yeah, that was a very flawed design. Limited mobility and... Who wants to look like a sheep?

The second design was just simply white bubbles to cover your privates. Again, such a flawed design. It reminded you of the pathetic forms of censoring in tv shows and anime where the girl would be in the shower and there just so happens to be a steam cloud or soap bubbles covering her privates at that exact moment.

The third and final design that never made the cut was a dress with a very fluffy skirt made of bubbles the colors red, blue, and yellow. Not a bad design, but who can fight in a dress?

Just looking at the costumes your other female classmates dressed themselves in, most of their costumes said nothing about their quirk besides Jirou and Tsu. Maybe you thought too hard about the costume design and should've done something more stylish like Momo and Uraraka. Well, time to open up the case that concealed your hero costume.

...

"That's pretty daring (Y/n)," a classmate commented on your costume while stretching himself out in preparation for the class exercise. You jolted in surprise to the comment, spinning around in surprise.

"Whoa Bakugou!!!" You did a little excited dance with shuffling feet. "I love your costume! It's so badass!!!" Bakugou's hero costume had a form fitting black top that highlighted the muscles on his stomach with no sleeves at all, that yet again really made his muscles stand out. He wore baggier pants and combat boots that reached his knees. His cuffs though, they were large military green grenades. Bakugou even had a black mask that covered just his eyes. His costume perfectly emphasized his explosion quirk while staying cool all at the same time.

"But again, knowing you... Your costume is a bit daring," Bakugou ignored your compliment, leaving you to just look down on yourself.

You shrugged. "I never designed this. And Yeah... It is a bit daring for me," a blue tank top and a layered mini skirt that just barely covered you bottom. The first layer of the skirt were ruffled blue silk, second layer a white silk, and the bottom layer a white lace. Your costume also consisted of white fur cuffs on your wrists and ankles, as well as a white fur collar that looked strangely like bubbles. You weren't very thrilled that the costume consisted of only two colors, blue and white, but it was wise of your costume designers as well. Why have your costume involve the colors red, yellow, and blue just to have it look weird? Settling on one color just makes the piece look nicer.

Bakugou didn't really feel the need to comment back on your statement, instead he kept up with stretching exercises in which you practically mimicked him. Bakugou found it annoying at first, catching on that you were mirroring his stretches, but he bit his tongue and let you do as you pleased. Afterall, what's the point of getting mad? You were stretching, that little factor could determine the difference between winning and losing today's team exercise. Just as Bakugou pulled back one leg and hugged it to his behind, Mr. Aizawa stepped up to you both. "Everyone else is already in the viewing room ready to watch over this match with All Might. You two go on ahead into the building and do what you need. You got five minutes before I send in Midoriya and Uraraka and start the timer, got it?" You nodded eagerly, Bakugou was already stepping foot within the building for the exercise. You chased after him.

"Got a plan? Or should we come up with one together?" You asked real quickly, a thousand game plans were going wild within your head.

"I'm going after Deku... That's the only plan I got," Bakugou admits.

"No you're not!" You puffed out your cheeks, stepping in front of Bakugou to stop him in his tracks. "The point of today's test is to protect our bomb from the heroes until it explodes. Instead of attacking the heroes head on, we should make obstacles and/or protect the bomb together," you explained your point of view on the testing grounds. It were a large building with corridors that make up a layout similar to a maze yet the corridors were thin which grants very little room to fight.

"Exactly," Bakugou threw you off to the side. "You protect the bomb, I'll be the obstacle."

You almost yelled at him, "well... that's one idea."

"I don't hear you throwing any ideas out," Bakugou kept walking ahead of you.

"I can use my quirk to flood the hallways and provide obstacles!" You exclaim, grabbing the blonde by his shoulder and spun him around. "See! Just watch," you held out your hands and white bubbles came from your palms in a variety of sizes all with a blue tint to their exterior. The bubbles floated down the hallway until you stopped and pulled out a gun strapped to your hip.

"Why in the hell do you have a gun?" Bakugou pointed out.

"It's not a real one," you snickered. "It's a BB gun, I myself cannot pop the bubbles but foreign objects can. So I'll use the bb's to shoot and pop them like this," you aimed for one bubble before pulling the trigger. One bubble explodes upon contact and just like your fight with Bakugou last week, it caused a domino effect of explosions as the hallway soon cleared of smoke to reveal an entire corridor encased in shards of clear blue ice. "What'd ya think Bakugou?" You sat in silence awaiting some sort of praise. I'm not as pathetic as Bakugou thinks I am, yes I cry a lot, but I'm still better than him!

"Keep doing that," Bakugou stepped away. "Leave one hallway alone, I'm still going after Deku."

"Fine..." At this point you had to accept the fact Bakugou was going to take the opportunity to beat up his childhood friend and rival since the school was practically rooting for blood, so, why not? You trudged along ahead to the core of the building, flooding hallways with ice as you went. The core in which it contained the so called bomb that could easily be as tall if not taller than ten feet in height stood upright in the room with a digital clock that were counting down with almost five minutes left on the timer.

"The test has already started?" Your blood ran cold. The test started more than five minutes ago and you never knew.

CRASH!!!

"Die Deku!!!" Bakugou shouts in a battle cry before another explosion ripped and trembled the entire building knocking you onto your knees.

Your heart beat madly against your chest. Clearly he's going all out. Should I help Bakugou out or stay here and guard the bomb? I want to help him, but Bakugou will just get mad and tell me he can handle Deku on his own. "Clearly he's busy..." You rolled your eyes, getting back to your feet despite all of the tremering that made your legs shake and buckle. You had to reach out for your surroundings just to get back to your own feet.

Three minutes left on the timer, nobody has shown up into the room of interest. However Bakugou and Deku's battlecries were evermore audible as if they were getting closer and closer. Until, you saw a flash of pink hide behind a pillar of cement... Uraraka. You activated your quirk, static bubbles emerged from your palms as you blew them over to where Uraraka hid. "Wha-What is this?" The girl squeaked before pop! She tried to run but ran into a bubble paralyzing herself. Believe it or not, this was the first time you've used the paralyze function of your quirk besides the time you discovered the quirk itself as a child and accidentally rendered All Might helpless for a few minutes.

You couldn't help but snicker, watching the brunette twitch and whimper with helplessness. "My quirk works for at least three minutes, and there's less than that on the clock. Looks like the villains won."

"Says you!" Uraraka snapped. "I know Deku will pull through!"

"Riding on his coat tail huh?" You point out, Uraraka whimpered feeling guilty for her choice in words. "Now I know why Bakugou prefers to work alone-"

"Get Back Here!"

"No, you're going to kill me!!!" Deku ran into the room with half of the mask to his hero costume burnt and beyond repair. Bakugou ran right after him trying to blow him up more than he already has. Your heart stopped for a second like a heart attack seeing that Deku were making a direct path for the bomb. Only a minute and 52 seconds left and it was all going to end right here.

"Stop!" You commanded him, shooting a bubble at the ground before the bomb covering the floor around it with a thin sheet of ice reminiscent of an ice rink. Deku's feet moved but he made no efforts in progressing forward, he were running in place. Deku just kept running and running not realizing this mistake. Bakugou licked his lips like a wild cat, holding out one of his hands towards Deku with his other hand wrapped around the clip of the grenade gauntlets. A huge explosion erupted from the gauntlet bounding towards Deku who spun around with near tears to his eyes. "Bakugou are you trying to kill him?" You cried out, this was going too far!

"Mind your business!" Bakugou snapped at you. The second the explosion engulfed Deku, it were redirected to the ceiling, making it crumble. Deku stood there, his arm all ripped up with bare flesh showing. He were frozen with large eyes strained with the shock of pain. This sight made everyone horrified. You and Bakugou were the true villains...

The timer struck zero, the villains had won. But the ceiling came down in chunks like an avalanche on a mountain. Deku collapsed into unconsciousness from the overbearing pain. The ceiling still came down little by little. Before you knew it, you were thrown from your spot and fell into a state much like Deku.

"The kids are gravely injured!!!" Cried All Might from the surveillance room. The students scrambled out of the room to go and retrieve help for the four of you. Bakugou, Midoriya, Uraraka, and yourself. The rescue team came in and cleared up the rubble little by little. They first found Uraraka who's paralysis wore off just as the explosion collided with the ceiling. The brunette managed to find a safer place in the room to take cover. Deku were found second unaffected by the crumble of the ceiling and face down upon the floor beside the fake bomb he so ever tried his hardest to reach before attacked. You and Bakugou remained unfound. All Might, Aizawa, the Rescue Team, and a few students who Aizawa hand picked like Kirishima, Shoji, Sato, and Jirou for their strength and use of quirks came to comb the wreckage for the missing students.

Jirou knelt down within the room of the wreckage, her earphone jack earlobe extended and inserted itself within a cleared out area of the cemented floor. Everyone else lifted up the rubble piece by piece during the search. Jirou listened carefully to the sounds on the flooring, all she heard were heavy footsteps and the collision of debris to the ground after being picked up and moved elsewhere. The girl just needed a sign that you and Bakugou were hidden within the wreckage, a voice, a heartbeat, breathing, anything.

Ba-bump Ba-bump Ba-bump Ba-bump

There it was, the sign. "I found them!" Jirou announced pointing off to the far left side of the room where next to nobody were searching. "I'm getting faint heart signatures over there!" Jirou retracted her earlobe and led the way to where she estimated the students were buried. Shoji and Kirishima ran over to her call and began clearing the area of debris whether it was carried or broken into smaller pieces it didn't really matter.

"Found 'em," Shoji muttered finding the orange bottoms to black combat boots peeking out from a clearing in the rubble.

"That's Bakugou!" Kirishima cheered speeding up the process. Before they knew it, they cleared the rubble uncovering an unconscious battered Bakugou face down upon the ground. Kirishima smiled with complete and utter joy lifting up his friend only to find yet another discovery. "Wait! Oh my god (Y/n)'s here too!" Kirishima announces finding that you were lying beneath Bakugou within minimal injuries, unfortunately you were unconscious as well but alive to say the least and that's all that mattered.

Aizawa and the Rescue Team marched up to the classmates. Kirishima and Shoji explained how they found Bakugou and yourself through teamwork only for one major realization to sit in. "Bakugou not only took the blow but shielded (Y/n) from the ceiling collapse..." Shoji pointed out with Aizawa left in awe. It was the makings of a true hero to do such a heroic act.

"Is this something Recovery Girl or the hospital should handle?" Aizawa openly asked of the Rescue Team and All Might as they loaded Bakugou, Midoriya, and Yourself on stretchers to be carried out.

"By the looks of it," a Rescue Member looked the three of you over. "Only the green haired boy is in any grave danger. Unless you want a hospital bill, Recovery Girl should be able to treat them. Especially this young lady, looks like nothing more than some scrapes and bruises."

"Thank you... Carry on," Aizawa waved the group away.

"Aizawa sir," Kirishima poked his teacher on the shoulder. "How soon will they be recovered? I'd like to visit them later."

"They'll be recovered by the time school gets out. Nothing to worry about!" All Might answered for Aizawa who only shot him a half lidded glare.

"Thank you," Kirishima, Shoji, and Jirou all thanked in unison.
