#003 - Loop

From an outsider's perspective, he looked like a crazy person talking to nothing.

"K-Kacchan!?" Midoriya exclaimed, looking at the blonde, scandalized.

"Dude, I think he's already losing it." Denki whispered to Sero who nodded in agreement.

"Maybe he's stressed...?" Sero assumed.

"Fuck you! I am not stressed!!!" Bakugou yelled at them, seeming to have heard their conversation.

Suddenly, the angry blonde got wrapped by a scarf, causing his movements to be restrained. "You problem child..." Aizawa rubbed his temples, clearly annoyed. "Sit back down." he stated firmly.

Bakugou grunted and did what he was told. While his classmates just gave him an odd look.

So on, Aizawa continued to discuss the trial of rescue, while Bakugou used the time to mentally form a new plan.

When they all reached to USJ, Bakugou attempted to keep everyone from dying and being severely injured. This time, he tried following the plot (most of it) and let himself get transported by one of the portals. Then he later on convinced Kirishima that they should leave immediately to help Aizawa and the others, because they couldn't waste more time taking down the minor villains.

Once they both reached to Aizawa, they saw that Shigaraki was about to decay Asui.

Bakugou immediately charged towards the hand man and blasted him. Kirishima followed as well with the attacks. They were able to successfully save them...for now, because the Nomu was still there, especially Shigaraki fucking Tomura.

Bakugou couldn't help but wonder why All Might isn't here yet—in the manga, isn't he supposed to arrive on time and save them all?

The boy began to feel dread when he noticed the absence.

A moment later, Kurogiri appeared next to Shigaraki. What he said caused chills through everyone’s spines.

"Thirteen was already taken care of, especially the students with her. I made sure that none of them were able to get out."

Upon hearing this, Shigaraki smiled maliciously, clearly satisfied with the results.

Bakugou can already imagine what happened. He failed, again.

However, despite that, he still continued to fight.

Unfortunately, he wasn't that strong enough to destroy a Nomu. Later on, he was grabbed on the face and got smashed down onto the ground.

The shouts from Kirishima and Midoriya could be heard from afar. 

"Bakugou!"

"Kacchan!"

Once again, everything turned black.

The strings pulled him back again.

No matter how much he tried, the strings kept on pulling him in the same place over and over again. Whenever he tried to not get sucked by one of Kurogiri's portal, he still fails. It's like he wasn't supposed to be anywhere unless it's within the manga's wishes.

This time, Bakugou didn't get looped back in the classroom. Instead, he woke up in the changing room.

He was confused at first. But later on he began to understand that he was looped back in the time where they're about to wear their costumes.

In his locker, he saw a note inside. This wasn't here before, so it unnerved him.

He took out the note that was sticking inside the locker and read it.

'This can't continue any further. Time won’t always rewind for you. Just stop and accept your fate.'
