TODOROKI! Please...

He's come far in the years I've been gone and has gained a lot more control over his abilities.
So when I swiveled through the air to get away from his sparks, he recuperated fast and turned with me; as if we were dancing.

Fuck.

Come on Izuku.

Pyrokinesis (AKA heat manipulation).

I hold my hand out, holding it steady with the other (just like Bakugo does) and activate the quirk.

I hear a grunt of discomfort come from the blond; but he still somehow manages to stay in the air.

I then realise.

I'm such an idiot.

Katsuki's quirk relies on him sweating; which means me heating him up is just going to help his explosions become stronger. And to be honest, I'd really rather not have that.

Everyone is still coming after me, scheming on how to take me down. That is, until I literally fall from the sky, my wings disappearing.
I land on my feet but my legs instantly buckle from the sudden pressure. I was probably around 25ft high after all.

Aizawa is now back up and fighting; as well as three other pros and another 29 students.

For once I don't know what to do in this situation. I don't want to release E and I'm not sure how I can contact Kurogiri. I wasn't exactly expecting to get caught today.

I try to stand up quickly because of the amount of heroes (whether they're training or not), running towards me, but to no avail.

I still have 7 more daggers from earlier. I need to take down Katsuki and Aizawa first.

Come on Izuku you need to get up!

I listen around me, knowing how close everyone is. Granted, Aizawa stopped my atom manipulation but it doesn't mean I can't hear.

"TODOROKI!" I scream desperately, followed by a whimper "please."

I need to get out of this before I have a fucking meltdown.
I haven't had one in years, but this- this is the most stressed I've been in ages.

Todoroki isn't responding; for obvious reasons.
Shit shit shit.

I hear a scuffle of clothes reach out towards me and instantly recognise it as Ururaka.

Slamming both of my hands on the grounds, I shout again, "ECHO! I NEED YOU!"

Instantly I collapse.

Bakugo's POV

Did that little nerd just collapse after asking some random 'echo' to help him? So useless, just like I remember him. Who cares if it took a few pros to take him down before? He's still that useless little Deku he's always been.

I smirk at him, knowing he's beat; or at least I thought he was, until he swoops up.
Did Aizawa stop using his quirk?

I look over at the pro, who's just as shocked as the rest of us...

I tear my gaze away from him and look back at the nerd. He's moving like- he's not even moving like a human. He's moving like some sort of rag doll or puppet.

Just like before-

"Shit!" I curse aloud, knowing what's happening.

That's why he shouted out 'Echo,' that must be what the quirk must be.

This isn't going to be good.

I'm so sorry this is really short. Kind of disappointed with myself with how short it actually is; however, this chapter is a build up chapter for the next.

What's gonna happen?
Is he gonna fight?
Is he gonna run?
Is he gonna win?
Is he gonna lose?

Only god knows at this point bc I sure as hell don't (or do I? ;))

I'll tell you something for certain. You'll have to read the next chapter to find out hehe.
