09. Training Exercise

A/N: Okay, so I didn't want to break this chapter up, and it's about 8k words. It's the longest one I've got. Enjoy :)

(Todoroki POV.)

It's Monday morning and Momo and I have swapped four times within an hour. It was a pain in the ass to get ready for school. I'm currently in my own body and I'm waiting for her in the dorm common space. The elevator opens and Momo finally steps out. "What took you so long?" I ask. "Everyone else already left."

"I just misplaced a few things. Let's get going," she tells me.

I take her hand and we leave the dorm headed for the school building. "So, last night Aizawa kinda ambushed me," I tell her.

"Did you not make it back to your room before curfew?" she asks.

"I had about five minutes, but he heard about our relationship and apparently when the teachers find out about student relationships they have a talk with them. He told me that our top priority needs to be our schooling and that he's seen relations among the students that resulted in them leaving UA."

"Are you worried about that?" Momo asks me.

I shake my head. "I think we'll be fine. You're super smart and we both have been dreaming about being heroes forever. I honestly don't like the sound of putting our relationship second, but that's kinda how it has to be."

"I get it. I'm sure it won't be too hard to focus on our education," Momo replies.

(Yaoyorozu POV.)

We enter the classroom and everyone's eyes are on us. We walk to our seats in the back corner of the room and sit down. Jirou immediately comes over to me and sits on my desk. "So Momo, can we hang out after class today?" she asks me.

"Umm..." I glance over to Shouto who has pulled out one of the books I lent him for my quirk. I can see him looking at me from the corner of his eye and he shrugs then focuses back to his book. "I guess that'd be fine." Hopefully we don't switch. Not too sure how Shouto would be around Jirou in my body.

Jirou looks over to Shouto. "Hear that Todoroki? Momo's mine today," she tells him.

"That's fine. I get her during lunch and later tonight then," he answers without looking up from the book.

Jirou smirks and then looks to me. "Yeah? You got plans tonight or something?" she asks slyly.

"Nothing like whatever you're thinking," I say waving my hand dismissing her thought.

"Since she's my girlfriend now Momo and I are going to be spending time together alot more. I'm willing to share her, but you don't just get to steal her all day," Shouto tells Jirou.

A slightly angry looking grin comes over Jirou's face. "Same goes for you. She was my best friend first and just because you're dating her now doesn't mean you can steal her all day either Todoroki," she says to him.

Shouto nods and looks back to his book. "That's fine," he replies.

"Hey, I'm not a toy you're sharing. I get a say in who I hangout with too," I butt in.

Jirou and Shouto both look at me. "Yeah? So you don't want to hangout with me then?" Jirou asks.

"What? No. I told you already I'd hangout with you after school, but Shouto and I do have plans to study later too."

"And I called dibs on you for lunch," Shouto says.

"Dibs? Really Todoroki? Since when do you do that?"

"Since now. Dibs on Momo for lunch today."

"Fine. Dibs on her for lunch tomorrow."

Jirou and Shouto start doing this back and forth for a full minute, causing everyone to watch them. "Hey, guys," I say, trying to get them to stop. "Can you please stop the childish behavior?"

Jirou and Shouto look across the class and see everyone avert their eyes. "Yeah." Jirou hops off my desk. "Don't forget our plans," she tells me as she walks to her seat.

"I won't," I assure her.

Shouto sighs and puts his elbow on his desk and rests his chin in the palm of his hand then looks at me. "What is it?" I ask.

"I hope we don't switch later. I can't study this if I have to entertain your friend," he says, pointing to the book.

I grin with a small laugh. "If it happens I'll just make sure to cram as much information into you later tonight," I tell him.

"Mmmmm..." Shouto grumbles. "Fine..."

The bell rings and everyone sits in their seats and the room gets quiet. Mr. Aizawa slides the door open and shuffles in. "Alright class, today we're going to be going over the material we've been studying this semester. There's two weeks until the end of term exams. The written exam will be harder than all of your previous tests, and the practical will be kept a secret until the day of. Now, turn to page 394."

Good thing today is just a study and review day. Shouto and I suddenly switch. Damn... Oh well... I glance to my left and look at Shouto in my body; he looks upset but is remaining quiet and focused on the lesson.

Class flew by. Shouto and I switched nearly seven times during our quiet reading time. Nobody noticed, except maybe Kirishima. Shouto groaned quietly a few times when we swapped and I noticed Kirishima look his way. Class finally came to an end and then we had Present Mic's English class. That class also went by quickly and neither me nor Shouto was called on for anything, which was good because we ended up switching over eleven times. I stopped counting after that.

Currently we're in each other's bodies and it's lunch time. Shouto and I got our food and are sitting at a table next to the window, away from most all of our classmates. "Well that was rather annoying today so far..." I say.

"Tell me about it. I hope it's not like this all week," Shouto replies. "This constant swapping is ridiculous."

A tray is set down on our table and we look across and see Kirishima sit down. "Kirishima? Where's Bakugou?" I ask, confused he's not with him.

"I dunno. Probably getting some hot sauce for his food," he replies with a shrug. "So how's it goin' for you guys? I noticed you complaining randomly during our classes Todoroki," Kirishima says looking to me.

"Shouto is in my body right now," I tell him. "And yeah, he's right. When we switch try not to complain so much," I say to Shouto.

"I know. I was frustrated. I kept losing my spot when we swapped."

"You guys gonna be ready for All Might's class next? He's probably gonna have us race or fight or something," Kirishima says.

"Hopefully we'll manage," I say.

"Hopefully..."

"What the fuck Kirishima!?" Bakugou shouts from right behind him. "Why the fuck are you sitting with these two!?"

"'Cause I want to. Calm down and take a seat," Kirishima says.

Bakugou grinds his teeth and looks around, then sighs and sits beside Kirishima. "This is fucking stupid," he grumbles.

"Is it really that bad to sit with anyone except your boyfriend?" I ask him with an unintentional slightly mocking tone.

Bakugou snaps his chopsticks in half with his fingers. "Shut the fuck up about that shit!" he whisper yells. "I fucking swear I don't care if you're Icy Hot or Ponytail I'll blow you the FUCK UP!" Kirishima hardens his hand and flicks Bakugou in the forehead. "Ow! WHAT THE FUCK!?"

"Knock it off Katsuki," he quietly tells him.

Shouto leans across the table and glares into Bakugou's eyes. "I don't care how mad you get, but do not threaten Momo," he coldly growls to him.

Bakugou scoffs and smiles. "Oh yeah? The hell are you gonna do about it you icy hot bastard?"

"You'll have that rematch you've been waiting for. We didn't get to go head to head at the sports festival these last two years to settle things, but if you do anything to Momo-" we swap. Shouto's eyes are burning with rage. I lean away from Bakugou and look to the two of them. "I will destroy you in a real fight," he finishes.

Bakugou grins. "Yeah? Had I known it'd be that easy I would have picked a fight with her a long time ago!"

(Todoroki POV.)

Bakugou... He still has that attitude. He's been getting better but I think he still has a vendetta against me for not going all out during our first sports festival. Kirishima grabs Bakugou by his shirt. "Dude. This isn't how you want to get your fight. I'm sure you and Todoroki will get a chance at a rematch, but don't threaten his girlfriend man. It's not manly at all."

Bakugou grinds his teeth and glares at Momo and me. "Fine. Whatever. Just keep your dammed mouths shut about the shit between me and Kirishima," he growls.

"I know. I'm sorry. It just slipped out like that," Momo apologizes.

"It's fine. No one heard," Kirishima says. "Right?"

Bakugou scoffs and takes Kirishima's chopsticks. "Yeah..."

"Good," I say as I resume my meal.

The four of us eat in silence. I think mine and Bakugou's outbursts at each other killed the small talk. "So then..." Kirishima starts to say, "you guys have any plans for summer break? It's comin' up soon."

"Nothing set in stone," I reply.

"My parents are taking a trip to Paris this summer but I'm staying home to train and extend my quirk further," Momo answers.

"Oh yeah? The hell kind of training does your quirk even require?" Bakugou asks.

"Memorizing materials and components and understanding the atomic configuration of what I need to make. This summer I am going to focus on creating multiple objects quickly and effectively," she answers.

"Whoa. Imagine how much more badass you'll be if you cut your creation time in half!" Kirishima exclaims.

"Yeah. Maybe this summer we can train together," I suggest to her.

"I'd like that," Momo replies with a smile.

"So you can make basically anything, right?" Bakugou asks.

"I can create virtually any non organic item, with the correct understanding of course," Momo answers. "Why the sudden interest?"

Bakugou shrugs. "Don't know. Never actually talked to you before this week or paid much attention to your quirk. But by the sound of it I think you'll become a decent hero if you keep up your training," Bakugou answers.

Momo's face blushes. "Thank you Bakugou. That means a lot."

What the hell? I know I don't have to worry about Bakugou and Momo, but, what? I look to Bakugou who glares back at me. "The hell are you staring at Scar Face?"

"Nothing... Just didn't know you could be nice is all," I reply.

"Course he can be nice. He just chooses to act like an ass," Kirishima replies with a goofy grin.

"Shut the fuck up! Why's it gotta be weird that I'm being nice to someone!?" Bakugou shouts.

"Because you're never nice to anyone," Kirishima replies.

"I'm nice to you!"

"That's different and doesn't count."

"Why the hell not!?"

"You know why!" Kirishima shouts back. "And it ain't that hard for you to be nice to your friends! You should do it more often."

"Friends?" Bakugou scoffs.

Kirishima points across to us. "They're your friends dude. So is most of the class even if you don't see it."

Bakugou stands up and grabs his empty tray. "Whatever. You can think what you want," he says and then storms off.

"He's a piece of work," I state.

Kirishima sighs and picks up his tray. "Sorry about him. Kinda ruined his compliment didn't I?"

"No. I think it was my fault," I say.

"Your fault? Shouto you didn't do anything."

"I made the comment about him being nice."

Kirishima stands up. "It doesn't matter. Katsuki's sensitive when it comes to getting close with people. Took me awhile to finally be where I'm at with him," he says with a laugh. "Anyway, I'll see ya guys in class," he says and then hurries after Bakugou.

"We should probably get to class as well," Momo says.

"Yeah..."

(Yaoyorozu POV.)

Shouto looks kind of distraught. "Shouto, is something wrong?" I ask him.

He looks at me briefly then away. "It's nothing really..."

I place my hand over his. "Just tell me."

He sighs but still doesn't look at me. "For a second I think I got jealous of Bakugou..."

"What? Jealous? What are you talking about?"

"When he complimented you you looked really happy and it made me feel weird that some other guy made you look that way."

I tug at his hand causing him to look at me. "Shouto, you don't need to be jealous of anyone. And you definitely don't need to worry about Bakugou. I was happy because the most explosive and one of the top students in our class gave me a compliment. You know as well as I do that he doesn't ever do that," I tell him. I lean in and kiss him on the lips. "I love you. Don't be jealous of Bakugou."

Shouto's cheeks are tinted pink and he tries to hide his face from me. "I can't help it. I want to be the one to make you make that face of pure happiness," he replies without looking my way.

He's so cute when he's embarrassed. "I'm always happy when I'm with you," I tell him.

He turns back and looks at me. "Really?"

I nod. "Yes. Just remember that I said yes to being your girlfriend and that I love you."

A smile crosses his face. "I love you too Momo. I'm so happy you said yes."

I notice the lack of students in the cafeteria. "It's almost time for class. We need to get going," I say, ruining the mood.

Shouto nods. "Okay."

We hurry and leave the cafeteria. We reach the classroom just in time. All Might was just about to walk in. "Young Todoroki and Yaoyorozu. You're almost late," he says as he lets us enter the class first.

"Sorry. We got caught up in a conversation," Shouto tells him.

"Just try to be on time. I wouldn't want either of your grades to become in jeopardy," he says.

Aizawa must have told him. I'm sure all the teachers are aware of all the couples. I glance at Bakugou as I take my seat. Except Bakugou and Kirishima probably. If they're keeping their secret I bet the faculty doesn't know either.

"Now then class," All Might says as he stands behind the podium, "we're going to go over rescue operations and villain apprehension for the first ten minutes, then we'll head to Ground Beta. You may study alone or in groups but stay on task."

I open my book and find the page about rescuing hostages and taking down villains in crowded areas. I quietly read to myself for the ten minutes. Once the time is up everyone heads to the locker rooms to get into our hero gear.

"What do you think we'll be doing today?" Jirou asks me.

I take my shirt off, fold it and put it in my locker. "Probably some form of rescue. I bet that's why we had to review that chapter before coming here," I reply.

"You're probably right. You think we'll be in pairs?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

"Just 'cause she's the smartest in the class doesn't mean she can see into the future," Ashido says.

"I know. I was just asking. Momo's usually good at predicting things," Jirou replies.

I start to put my costume on when of course, I'm suddenly in the boy's locker room. Dammit... I try my best not to let my eyes wander, but I can't help it. I look around and see all the guys half dressed in their costumes. Dammit Momo! Just ignore the fact that you're here. I'm Shouto right now so I can't be staring or acting weird. I reach into his locker and take out his jacket.

"You okay Todoroki? You look upset," Sero tells me.

"I'm okay," I reply, trying to answer simply like Shouto would.

I put the jacket on and zip it up. "You sure? Your face is kinda red? You sick or somethin?" Kaminari asks.

"Why would he be sick? It's almost summer. Who the hell gets sick this time of the year?" Sero asks him.

"I dunno."

"I said I'm fine," I say. I sit down and start to put Shouto's boots on. Come on. The faster I get out of here the better.

"Come on guys. Leave him alone. He's probably just thinking about his girlfriend or something," Kirishima says to them.

I look to Kirishima. By the look on his face I think he knows we switched. "Uh... Yeah. That's it," I say.

"Did Mr. Aizawa give you a talking to too?" Ojirou asks.

"Um. Yeah..."

"Yeah I remember how scary that was when he learned about me and Hagakure. I thought he was gonna kill me," Ojirou says with a laugh. I remain silent, not knowing what I can say to sound like Shouto.

"Speaking of relationships, when are you gonna ask Uraraka out Midoriya?" Sero asks.

"What? Um... I don't know what you're talking about," Midoriya spits out, waving his arms around frantically.

"Really Midoriya? Everyone has eyes and can see you like her," Mineta says.

"Yeah. It's just as obvious as Todoroki liking Yaoyorozu," Kaminari adds.

I watch as Midoriya's face goes red. "Is it really?"

"Duh."

"Yeah. Seriously dude. Get it together."

"Everyone quit your gossiping! We must hurry and get ready for our training exercise!" Iida yells to everyone. I hope Shouto is doing okay in the girls locker room. The girls aren't as easy to get rid of...

(Todoroki POV.)

Seriously? Why now? I was almost done changing when we swapped, but now all of a sudden all I can see is the other girls in their underwear. I look down and see Momo's bare chest and that she was in the process of putting her costume on. How do I do this? Do I just pull it around me and stuff these in?!

"The hell are you doing?" I look over and see Jirou staring at me weirdly.

"What? N-nothing," I reply.

"Why are you just staring at your boobs?"

Dammit... "I was just spacing out for a second," I tell her. I pull Momo's costume on the rest of the way and situate it around her boobs. How can she wear this? Even as a guy this feels really skimpy to wear... I sit down on the bench and begin to put her boots on.

"Momo why is your face all red?" Uraraka asks me.

Damn. The hell am I supposed to say?

"Are you thinking dirty things about Todoroki?" Ashido asks. She overexcitedly sits next to me, still in her underwear. "Come on! You gotta give me more details. You totally left us hanging before!"

"Yeah! Come on! Tell us!" Hagakure says as she sits on the other side of me.

Both of the girls are only in their underwear and are pressing their boobs against my arms. Come on Shouto. Be cool... I finally finish getting one boot on. "There's not much to tell. M-Shouto and I were mostly studying yesterday," I say, nearly slipping up.

"Mostly? So what was happening when you weren't studying?" Hagakure asks.

"Haven't we been over this enough? You're dating Ojirou, use your imagination," I tell her.

"Ooo. Really? You do that kind of stuff?" She questions.

Maybe that wasn't the right thing to say... I quickly get the other boot on and stand up. "You can think what you want. Just hurry up and get your costumes on or we'll be late," I say, trying to sound like the vice president of the class.

I grab Momo's large book and put it on her belt then quickly leave the locker room. I lean against the wall just outside the door. Hopefully they don't think anything of it... "Is it just me or is Momo acting a bit strange?" I hear Asui ask. Damn...

"Yeah. Up until a few minutes ago she was fine but then she started acting different," Jirou replies.

Crap. How am I supposed to act like Momo in a situation like that? "Let's just hurry up and get dressed. The guys are probably all done by now. If we don't hurry Tenya will lecture us," Uraraka says.

Man this sucks... I head toward the bus that's going to take us to Ground Beta and I see the majority of the guys waiting around. I spot Momo talking with Midoriya and Iida. I start to head over to them when we switch again. Fucking of course. I look past Midoriya and spot Momo with a confused and upset look on her face.

"Todoroki. Todoroki? Is something the matter? You stopped talking all of a sudden," Iida asks me.

"Huh. Oh. Right... What was I saying again?" I ask.

"You were saying that you're going to be training with Yaoyorozu this summer," Midoriya tells me.

"Oh. Right. Yeah, um, her parents are going to be gone so we're going to train together. We don't have any actual plans or anything on what to do yet," I tell them.

"You'd better be respectful of her if you're going to be alone with her Todoroki. As an aspiring hero I assume you won't try anything on her that she wouldn't like or allow," Iida says.

"What?"

"Iida I doubt Todoroki would do anything Yaoyorozu wouldn't like."

"If her parents are away are you not going to stay at her estate with her?" Iida asks me. "Would she not get lonely without someone with her? Or are you two going to be using the school facilities to train?"

"I don't know... I hadn't thought about that..." Momo and I just made plans to train together only a little bit ago. Is she going to expect me to stay with her at her house while her parents are away?

My hand suddenly gets grabbed and I turn to see Momo. "Ah. Yaoyorozu. Are the rest of the girls ready?" Iida asks her.

"Um. Not yet. For some reason I was the first one out," she says, squeezing my hand a little harshly.

I rub my head and give her an apologetic look. Sorry... "So, um Momo about our pla-"

"MOMO! WHY'D YOU DITCH US!?" I get interrupted by Ashido screaming over everyone around.

"Apparently I ditched them. If you'll excuse me," Momo says as she let's go of my hand.

Great... She looked kinda mad. I watch as Momo gets Ashido to calm down and starts to calmly talk to her in a friendly manner. How does she do that? "Todoroki. Stop staring at your girlfriend," Iida tells me.

"Hmm? Oh. Sorry..."

All Might finally comes over to us all. "All right students. Board the bus and we'll get to our training!" He says.

Iida walks past me and Midoriya and stands by the door to the bus. "Everyone get in a single file line and board the bus in a proper order!" He shouts to everyone.

Everyone boards the bus. I wanted to sit by Momo but she got dragged to the back of the bus by the other girls. I sigh and look out the window behind me. I'm sitting beside Midoriya, and Iida with Sero, Ojirou, Kaminari, Shouji, Satou and Tokoyami across the aisle from us. "Dude why do you look so down Todoroki?" Kaminari asks.

"Hmm? It's nothing. Just got some stuff on my mind."

"Bet it's problems with Yaoyorozu," Sero says as he nudges Shouji with his elbow.

"Why would you say that?" I ask.

"Dude, no offense but you can be kinda oblivious to things. Is she mad at you and you don't know why?" Kaminari questions me.

Kinda... I think I know why. I glance over towards Momo who is busy talking with the other girls. I turn back and look out the window. "It's nothing. Can we drop this already?"

"Sure man."

It takes about ten minutes for us to get to Ground Beta. Nearly the entire ride Bakugou was in a shouting argument with Ashido about their gossiping. I was kinda relieved that I didn't have to continue with any of people's questions about me and Momo. I don't understand why people take such an interest in this stuff. We all exit the bus and stand before the enormous doors to the training ground.

All Might stands before us. "Okay. Today we'll be doing a large scale exercise where the entire class will be going at it at the same time," he starts to tell us.

"All of us at the same time?"

"What are we going to be doing?"

"You're all going to draw a ball from this box. There's twenty of you and you'll be split into two uneven teams. Come draw then I'll explain the rest."

Everyone draws a small ball with a letter on it, either an H or a V. "So, now what?" Kirishima asks.

"Those of you with a V will be the villains and the rest are the heroes. There are thirteen villains and seven heroes. You villains are going to be simulating a large attack on the city. There's civilian dolls all around and use them as you see fit. You heroes are going to try and defeat the villains and save as many people as you can through team work."

"I see... It's not always going to be equal fighting. That's why theres more villains than heroes," Midoriya mutters.

Kirishima raises his hand. "So as Villains we don't have to follow any specific rules right?" He asks.

"Yes. As the villains feel free to cause as much damage as you see fit. This will also he good training to push your quirks to their limits. Take the next five minutes to come up with your villainous plan and get yourselves situated within Beta. All the villains proceed through the gate. Oh! And also pick a leader, but keep it a secret for now. If the heroes take down the leader they win, but if the villains defeat the heroes they win," All Might tells us all.

I look down to the ball in my hand. "A villain huh?" I start to follow all the others who are villains: Kirishima, Shouji, Jirou, Asui, Kaminari, Mineta, Aoyama, Tokoyami, Hagakure, Ojirou, Iida, and Kouda. I look back to the ones who are going to be the heroes: Midoriya, Uraraka, Bakugou, Sero, Satou, Ashido, and Momo. This will be interesting... I wave to Momo and she smiles fiercely and waves back. I catch back up to the others as we start to come up with a general plan of invasion on the city.

(Yaoyorozu POV.)

Shouto is a villain. I was hoping we could work together but this will be a good chance to prove our relationship won't get in the way of our schooling. I'll make sure to give it my all if I must face him! I am a little concerned about our team though. Bakugou and Midoriya have to work together which may be difficult for them to handle.

"Alright you young heroes," All Might says, "in a few minutes you'll enter the city to stop the villains. I know not all of you have worked together and some of you may butt heads but don't forget to put your personal feelings aside. Focus on your duty as heroes to save the city and its citizens."

"Understood."

"Yes sir."

"Tch. Whatever! I'll blow all those villain bastards away!"

"Kacchan this is a team effort. Don't just go charging in by yourself."

"Shut the fuck up Deku. I'm aiming for Icy Hot. That bastard has his remach coming for him today!"

"Don't forget you failed the license exam last year because you couldn't rescue properly," I remind Bakugou. He glares at me and I stare back firmly. "As heroes we need to cooperate and can't damage the city or injure the people."

"Momo's right. We need to work together to take the villains down while evacuating the injured," Uraraka says.

Midoriya holds his chin as he starts to think aloud. "It's obvious though that Kacchan's quirk is best to take on and fend off the villains. He has power, speed, precision and judgment. I think Kacchan should be our main offense and the rest of us will need to play it by ear depending on the villains layout and the number of civilians around," he says to us all.

"I think that's a fine idea Midoriya," I tell him.

"Sounds like a plan Deku!" Uraraka states.

"You got it," Satou says with a thumbs up.

"Don't think you can just take charge you fucking nerd. I don't need you tellin' me to go after the villains," Bakugou growls.

"Bakugou just chill. Midoriya's proposal is the best we have for now. We don't know what the villains will be doing or how spread out they'll be," Sero says.

"Yeah! When we go in we should probably split into small groups and locate any wounded and villains we can," Ashido says.

"Tch. Fine. Whatever! You sidekicks go off in twos. I'll go in alone and figure out which one is their leader and take him down for the win," Bakugou says, adding on to our general plan.

(Todoroki POV.)

Alright. All Might gave us the okay to start attacking the city. I use my fire and ice simultaneously and destroy an entire block in seconds. I turn and freeze the street and buildings, then blast them with a large stream of fire shattering the frozen parts. "Whoa... I didn't know I could cause such destruction," I mutter while looking at my hands. "It's just part of the exercise though..." I run down the street and round the corner and see Kirishima. I remember back to our planning...

"So what should our plan be?" Kirishima asks the group as we walk to the middle of the training grounds. "And who's gonna be the leader?"

"I think the class rep should take control. Ribbit."

"Yeah. Iida should be in charge," Kaminari says.

"Wait. Wouldn't they predict that though?" Hagakure asks. "It would make sense for Iida to be in charge."

"Yeah. Isn't the leader supposed to be the strongest and most dangerous?" Ojirou asks.

"Why doesn't Todoroki be the leader then? He's one of the strongest here," Iida suggests.

"Me? I don't think I'm the type to be the leader of villains..."

"That's why they won't see it coming!" Kirishima exclaims.

"I don't know... Last time I tried to come up with a plan of attack during a test it didn't go very well. I think someone else should be in charge."

"Okay. How about Tokoyami?"

"Yeah! Tokoyami you're the villain leader!"

"Fine. Let's come up with a plan of attack then," Tokoyami answers.

From there we decided on splitting into small teams and spreading across the city. Me and Kirishima are together on the Western side of the city while the others are causing destruction in other sections. I can see that Kirishima has wrecked the majority of this block and has trapped several of the civilian dolls inside the building's ruins. "Nice work," I tell him.

"Yeah. It's kinda weird destroying a town isn't it?" He answers.

"Yeah... It is weird..." We continue to run down the road, using our quirks to destroy everything we can as we go. I stop as I hear a noise coming toward us. "Hold up."

Kirishima stops and looks around. "What is it?"

"Someone's coming." I run to the next intersection and look left and see Midoriya and Uraraka. "It's the heroes!" I shout to Kirishima.

"Villains!" Midoriya yells.

I use my ice and freeze the road they're running on. Midoriya jumps and grabs onto the edge of a building. Uraraka uses her quirk on herself and jumps, floating to where Midoriya is. "Let's take these heroes down!" I shout to Kirishima.

"Right!" Kirishima hardens his body and bulldozes himself through the building they're on. Midoriya and Uraraka leap off. I use my left side and blast out a stream of fire at them both.

I lose sight of them briefly. I stop my attack and look around. I spot Uraraka starting to pull the civilians from the buildings. I use my ice to try and freeze her, but Midoriya suddenly appears in front of me.

I stop my assult on Uraraka and bring my hands up to block his incoming kick. His iron sole smashes against my right forearm and I go flying through the air. Dammit. Should've used ice to block that! I crash into one of the buildings. As I pick myself up off the ground I can see Kirishima going at it with Midoriya. "This is going to be tough."

(Yaoyorozu POV.)

"Get down!" I push Satou back and we take cover behind a building. I peer around and spot Aoyama, Tokoyami, Shouji, Mineta, Kaminari, and Jirou. "Six of them... This is probably their biggest group," I say.

"Right. Better let the others know we'll need backup soon."

Earlier I had used my quirk to make us all small communicators, we each have one in our ear. I press the button on it. "Satou and I found six villains! We're going to need assistance as soon as possible! We don't know how many injured there are yet! We're in the center of the city!"

"Roger that! Me and Ashido are heading your way now!" Sero replies.

"We'll need to fight them off while getting the civilians clear," I tell Satou.

"Yeah. Let me handle them for now. You focus on saving the dolls." He opens a pouch on his belt and eats a fistful of sugar cubes. His muscles start to bulge out as he powers up. "LET'S GO!"

I watch as Satou charges the villains. Aoyama shoots his laser at him and he dodges, then Kaminari and Jirou simultaneously use their ranged quirks to attack him.

I focus and create a net and a large gun. It takes a bit longer than I hoped, but I've got it now. I aim it at Kaminari and Jirou then fire the large net through the air. It expands and wraps them up together. "Yes! That should hold them for a little while." I run to where I see some of the civilians, then drop the gun as I start to get them free. Satou is focused on fighting the others off as I pull the dolls from the debris of the building.

"Yaoyorozu! Watch out!"

I turn as I hear Satou shout to me. I see Mineta and Aoyama coming my way. Dammit. I can't get the civilians to safety with these two on me. I use my quirk and quickly create another net. I pick up the gun and reload it. I aim it at Aoyama who is closest, then fire. Not to my surprise he tries to blast it away with his naval laser. While he was distracted I made another net and fired it the second his laser disappeared. This one hits him and he drops to the ground. Got him! That just leaves Mineta!

I spot Mineta to my right. He has two of his balls in his hands. I'll need to be careful around him. If I get hit by one of those I'll be trapped for hours. "Yaoyorozu. You're going down!" He shouts at me. He lobs the balls my way. I create a shield on my forearm and block them. I drop the shield and focus back to him.

He's charging me now while throwing ball after ball. I create a larger shield that blocks my entire body. "Dammit! How do I take him down? If I get too close I'll just get trapped." I peer around my shield and see him use his ball covered whip. He swings it my way. I let go of my shield and roll out of his reach. "Damn."

"You're going down hero!" He shouts. He lets his whip go and throws more balls my way.

I dodge them while I focus on creating. From my arm I make a steel plank. As he throws more balls at me I use the plank to catch the balls on the ends of it. I charge forward and press the steel to his torso, pushing him to the ground. The balls stick to the cement, trapping him beneath the plank. "Got you. Trapped due to your own quirk," I say with a grin.

Mineta struggles but is unable to free himself. "Dammit Yaoyorozu! You were supposed to be the one to get stuck by my balls!"

"Sorry to disappoint," I say. "Now to get the civilian dolls out of the hazard zone." I turn and see Sero and Ashido run up.

"How many people are still here?" Ashido asks.

"I'm not sure. Mineta and Aoyama attacked me before I got the chance to help anyone. Satou is still fighting off Shouji and Tokoyami," I tell them. "Kaminari, Jirou and Aoyama should still be trapped for now. Let's focus on getting the civilians, then we'll finish off the villains."

"Right!"

"Got it!"

(Bakugou POV.)

"DAMMIT! WHERE ARE YOU!?" I've been blasting my way around this fucking place for awhile now and haven't seen any trace of Icy Hot. I took down Tail and Animal Whisperer but Frog Girl and the Class Rep got away. I haven't seen anyone else. "Where are you Icy Hot? You bastard..."

Back behind me I hear an explosion and I turn to look and see electricity surging into the sky. I look back forward then spot fire blasting into a building, then I see Deku that fuck jump through the air. I blast my way towards them.

Below I spot Kirishima floating in the air and hanging onto a building with a scared look on his face. "Dumbass," I mutter with a grin. I then pinpoint Pink Cheeks. Looks like she got the last of the dolls outta the way.

I drop down and land near her. "Bakugou?"

"You and Deku go help the others. They're about seven blocks East of here," I tell her.

"You want us to leave you alone with Todoroki and Kirishima? We can help."

"No! Use your head! There's two of em here and three of us, that means the rest are back where all the commotion is. Us heroes are outnumbered! I can take them both on by myself!" I shout over the sounds of Icy Hot and Deku fighting.

"Hmm... Okay! I can leave Kirishima as he is. He can't fight if he can't stay planted on the ground! He'll only stay up until I release my quirk though."

"Sure. Go get that fucking nerd and get the hell to the others!"

"Deku! Come on! Bakugou's got this! We need to help everyone else!" She calls to that nerd.

I lock eyes with Deku as he lands on the ground. "Right! Let's go! Win this Kacchan!"

"Tch. DON'T TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNOW!" I aim my hand at Icy Hot and blast an explosion his way. Not surprisingly he uses his ice to block it. "LET'S DO THIS THING!"

(Todoroki POV.)

Damn. I was hoping not to run into Bakugou. I think that kick from Midoriya earlier fractured my arm. I can still move it and use my quirk, but I don't want to overdo it...

Bakugou comes flying at me using his quirk to propel himself through the air. I aim my left hand forward and blast fire his way. "GOTTA DO BETTER THAN THAT!" Bakugou shouts with the grin of a maniac.

He uses his explosions to avoid my fire then charges me again. Using my rigjt foot I use my ice to shoot spikes from the street and buildings toward him. It caught him off guard enough that he takes his focus off me. He starts blasting the ice spikes before they can pierce him.

Good. If I can take him down I can get to Kirishima and we can get to the others and take down the heroes. Bakugou blasts my ice away; I make more spikes as he nears the ground.

"YOU'RE NOT WINNING THIS TIME!" he shouts. He starts to blast his explosions around causing himself to spin. This is just like last year... He makes a tornado of explosions, blasting my ice all around.

I quickly make a thick wall between me and him. "Gotta do better than that!" I shout to him.

A hole gets blasted in the middle of my ice wall and Bakugou steps through. "You've gotta do better than that!" He aims his hand forward and reaches for the pin on his gauntlet. "NOW DIE!" Will my ice hold against this attack? I watch as the explosion blasts my way.

"KATSUKI!"

"Kirishima!?" I look up and see him in his unbreakable form. I watch as he pushes off the wall and shoots to the ground in front of me. His claws dig into the cement and he shields me with his floating body. The explosion goes around us and blasts the already destroyed buildings. "Kirishima!? Are you alright!?" I call out to him.

"I'm fine!" He growls back. He suddenly drops to the ground. "Agh. Uraraka must've released her quirk." Kirishima gets to his feet and we both glare to Bakugou.

"The fuck are you doing shitty hair!? This is my fight!" He shouts.

"Sorry Katsuki, but this is a training exercise! I can't sit by and watch my teammate go down!" Kirishima shouts back, still in his unbreakable form. "Todoroki. I can keep this form for about three minutes. Let's take Katsuki down quickly!"

I nod. "Yeah! Let's go!"

Bakugou grinds his teeth and lets small explosions off in both hands. "BRING IT ON YOU FUCKWIPES!" He shouts. "I'LL DESTROY YOU!"

"This should be easy with the two-" No... No! Dammit! I get pulled away by Midoriya and taken behind a pile of building debris.

"Yaoyorozu!? What are you doing!?" He yells at me.

"What? No! Not now!" I yell.

"T-todoroki?" He asks. I nod. "Crap! You understand that you'll need to fight on our side in her body right?"

"Yeah I know. What's going on right now?" I ask.

"We've got all the civilian dolls out of the way and we just need to take down Tokoyami, Shouji, Kaminari and Jirou. Yaoyorozu had managed to trap Kaminari and Jirou earlier but they got free. All the other villains have been taken down and captured."

"Okay..." I look over the rubble and spot everyone's locations. "We can do this." I take Momo's book off her belt and scan the pages for what I need. There... I focus and create a flash bomb in my hand. "It's not in a nesting doll like she does, but it'll do," I mutter. I hand it to Midoriya. "Use this against Tokoyami when the time is right. I'll let the others know we have a way to subdue Dark Shadow."

"Wait." Midoriya presses a device in his ear. "Listen up! Yaoyorozu made a flash bomb and I'm going to use it in a minute to take down Tokoyami. Everyone get ready to end this fight!"

"Communicators?"

"Yeah. Yaoyorozu made them at the start of the gate. She thought they'd give us an edge."

I can't help but grin. "Momo..." Okay! I can do this too! I remember back to my reading earlier. I focus and from my chest I pull a sword. "Whoa! I did it!" Me and Midoriya watch as Sero and Uraraka tape up Kaminari and Jirou with a combo attack. "Let's go!"

(Yaoyorozu POV.)

"Dammit!" I use Shouto's quirk and make a wall of fire through the street toward Bakugou. Only five seconds ago I was about to make some flash grenades to take down Tokoyami... Now I'm up against Bakugou! "Kirishima! We need to end this quickly or get to the others!" I yell to him.

"What!? Why!?"

"Because Shouto and I switched! I don't know how long it'll last or how well I'll be able to fight with his quirk!"

"Good thing we're villains then!" Kirishima yells as he throws a piece of a building at Bakugou. "It won't count against us if we cause destruction!"

I grin. "That is true." I watch as Bakugou comes flying our way. He begins to spin in an explosive tornado. I aim my right arm forward but a sharp pain shoots through me. "Shit! His arm is injured."

"YAOYOROZU!" Kirishima jumps in front of me, knocking me to the ground and covering me with his body.

The explosion obliterates the street around the two of us. I look up and see Kirishima isn't using his quirk anymore. "Kirishima? Kirishima!?" He collapses on me, completely knocked out. I roll him off me and glare to Bakugou. He's breathing heavily and his gauntlets have cracked. I stand and ready myself for a fight. "Let's end this," I say to him.

Bakugou rips his gauntlets off and tosses them aside. "I was thinking the same thing."

I take a step forward and am ready to attack, when we swap again. Really!? I look ahead and see Midoriya throw a flash grenade at Tokoyami. "Shouto was able to make that?" I quietly ask myself.

"NOW!" Midoriya shouts.

I look to my right and watch as Sero shoots his tape at Tokoyami, wrapping him up. That flash grenade won't last too long. I quickly create more and throw them forward. They explode in a blinding light.

(Todoroki POV.)

Bakugou comes running at me. Back here again? If Midoriya's plan works then this will come to an end soon. I just have to hold out. I notice that Bakugou isn't wearing his gauntlets and that Kirishima is unconscious behind me. Using my foot I freeze the street and cause more ice spikes to shoot out at Bakugou. Bakugou jumps, evading them and uses a single explosion to launch towards me. He must be near his limit. As he descends he takes a swing at me. I dodge and step away.

"Fight me! Don't fucking hold back Todoroki!" He yells at me.

I aim my left hand and blast a large fireball. Bakugou dodges to the side and charges, swinging his fist. I dodge it just in time and counter with a left hook. I hit him in the side of his face. Bakugou winces then swings back. He uppercuts me in the gut, momentarily knocking the wind from me. I tighten my right fist, not feeling any pain anymore due to adrenaline and swing as hard as I can. My punch lands, hitting him in the temple. Bakugou quickly shakes it off and throws an open palm attack. His hand smacks my left shoulder and he lets off an explosion. Right as it happens I flare up my fire in an attempt to lessen the damage. It works but his attack nearly obliterated the upper half of my costume and may have dislocated my shoulder.

We need to end this! I freeze the ground around us both, distracting Bakugou. I clench my fist as tightly as I can as I charge forward; I pull my right arm back then swing with everything I have. Bakugou swings at the same time. Both our punches connect simultaneously; both of us gets hit square in the face. "Dammit..."

"Fuck!"

We both fall to the ground just as All Might announces the end of the class.

A/N: I apologize if the length of this one was a bit excessive. This was by far my favorite chapter to write though. I really enjoy coming up with a training exercise for the class to partake in :)  let me know whatcha thought.
