Pulling The Strings

Chapter 16

Bakugo used his explosions to land on his feet as he slid backwards against the ground with a sinister snarl. A menacing grin was stretched across his face and he laughed aloud as izuku turned to face him. "Try that on for size you pathetic fucking leech! IF YOU WANT TO ACT SO TUFF SHOW ME WHAT YOUVE GOT." Bakugo exclaimed as he once again launched towards izuku ready to hail more suffering onto him. Izuku charged to meet him halfway which turned into a series of blow after blow being thrown and blocked in a battle of combative wit.
(Think of like Naruto vs Sasuke, Tengen vs Gyutaro type shit just like crazy ass hand to hand combat 😭)

Izuku and Bakugo beat each other relentlessly. Bakugo at a point caught a hold of his arm and began to heat his hand with his vice like grip. "Don't you get it deku? I'll always be above you, you're nothing compared to me and it's about time you realize that. All of this powertrip bullshit you're on stops here you fucking nerd!"
Bakugo sneers in izukus face as the smell of smoldering skin is permeating through the air and into izuku's senses.

Instinctively he uses shadows to create claws and anomalistically swipes at bakugos forearm  while panting heavily. Blood sprays slightly from the wound and onto izukus face as Bakugo jumps back with a hiss. A few speckles of blood splattered into izukus mouth and across his face. He closes his mouth to spit but as the flavor of iron melts on his tongue his mind goes blank and he freezes.

Black ink starts to overtake the skin of his hands and arms as he twitches. He can faintly make out the loud screaming of the crowd, and present mic commentates:

"WHATS THIS?? IT SEEMS AFTER AN INTENSE EXCHANGE OF BLOWS MIDORYA IS LEFT SHAKEN IN THE MIDDLE IF THE STAGE!!!! WHATS GOING ON DOWN THERE?!?!?!?!" He screams out into the open air.

Meanwhile Izuku is fighting with his very being  to maintain control.

""Finally you satiate our hunger."" A deep foreboding voice grumbled inside of izukus head. He opens his eyes to find himself back in the dark blackened void he had once visited before. Deep blood red glowing eyes started back at him from the recesses of his mind. "We can't take it this far you know that. We're going to be a hero, we can't do this." Izuku says in a monotonous voice. As much as he hates Bakugo, he can't kill him. Not here. Not now.

But the voice isn't letting up.

""Just a taste Izuku. The flavor of his blood was intoxicating and addictive. Won't you give us more? You can't hide anything from me. Hatred and vengeance grips your heart like a vice and it weighs heavily on your head. Let me bring it to the forefront. Just this once.""

Izuku thinks long and hard about his options. The anger and pain and loneliness start to permeate through his mind. The scars that littered his tired body burned hotter than hellfire. Every instance of abuse flashed across his mind as his heart began to race. 'Just this once. Just a little, I'll be selfish.' He thought idly as he closed his eyes.

And gave in.

Izuku outstretched his arms in a gesture of acceptance as he beast of black shadows and ink raced towards him with a roar. A small smile graced his features just before he was overtaken by the being.

Bakugo was fed up. He's not going to let this nerd sit around and waste his time any longer, he's ending this here and now. And with that thought in mind he races towards the green haired boy who was still unmoving, with a scream of absolute rage.

"DEKUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!"

He threw an explosive punishing blow towards his jaw.

Just then Izukus eyes snapped open. Inky black voids with small piercing blood red pinholes locked onto Bakugo and redirected his punch by blocking and grabbing his arm. He turned and used bakugos charge to slam him into the concrete they stood on. The air left bakugos lungs and he hackled and tuned over. He peered up at the eyes staring down at him, a grin overtaking izukus face.

""Katsuki""

It said to him, gazing at him almost with a loving look of pity as he raised his leg and tried to axe kick his head back into the ground. Bakugo barely had time to throw himself out of the way and create distance before Izuku was on his again with a fist in his stomach. He threw up slightly from the weight of the impact before being blown back towards the edge of bounds by the punch. He shook himself out of his stupor and raced towards deku once again as he met him halfway and punched and kicked at him relentlessly. Bakugo could barely keep up with the blows that were showering him left and right as Izuku battered him with a sickening smile stretched across his face, almost too big to be comfortable.

Bakugo slipped up.

His explosion charged punch was caught and distinguished as Izuku used his claws to filet the skin of his right forearm, yanking Bakugo foreward as he licked a stripe up his arm to catch his liquid gold. His eyes grew wider as Izuku began to pant heavily and laugh maniacally as he punched Bakugo square in the nose spurting more blood across his face. Bakugo was disoriented from the blow and fel back flat on his ass and Izuku pounced. Mounting his hips as he pummeled his face with his fists as he laughed on.

""KATSUKI!!!""  The voice yellows out in delight. Bakugos face started to become drenched in blood, swollen and bruised as he lost consciousness. Still izuku beat him. He wanted him dead. He wanted to crush the bones in his face and make him unrecognizable to his own family and friends. He wanted to kill him.

Izuku raised a fist that was quickly hardened by shadows and went for the killing blow. Just as he swung he felt fussy and weak as he saw pink smoke engulfed him.

Slowly the creature that took over his senses and body receded and izuku was left to promptly pass out with a single word on his mind.

'Fuck.'
