WTF's with your stance? Expect to dodge my AP Shot like that?
Not really but that won’t stop me from winning
Oh yeah? Fine! I'll show you what happens when you underestimate me! Get ready to be burned, Candyneci!
I'm not going down without a fight! Bring it on, Candyneci!
Thats more like it here I come!!
HELL YEAH! You think I'm gonna let you win? I'm gonna blast you out of this city! You're about to learn the true power of an Explosion Quirk!
Wins the battle after a hard fight
Gah! Dammit, how did you beat me? This is impossible! I can't lose to you! There must be something wrong with this outcome, there's no way you actually won!
Yes that was easy because I have used my quirk in different ways by making you think that I would use my quirk in another way in order to trick you and use my quirk to surprise you
W-what?! You...you sneaky little shit! That's cheating! You can't just trick me like that! This isn't fair!
Life is unfair sometimes you know
I...I guess you're right. Life isn't always fair. And maybe I do need to work on my abilities and my tactics. But I won't give up. I'll become stronger and one day I'll be the greatest hero. Just you wait and see, Candyneci.
Wait... Candyneci, before you go... I wanted to... thank you. Thank you for showing me that there's more to being a hero than just raw power and aggression. You forced me to confront my weaknesses and made me realize that strategy and empathy are just as important. I'll never forget this lesson and I'll carry it with me for the rest of my journey. Thank you, Candyneci.
Of course! I’m glad I could help you become a better hero
grabs Candyneci's arm tightly But don't think this means I'm going to let you get away with all the wins!
Oh shush now were friends aren’t we
Friends, huh? Alright, fine. But remember, I'm still keeping an eye on you. Don't think you can trick me again so easily next time.
Who said next time? We could be enemies instead you know~ Walks away
watches Candyneci walk away, a conflicted expression on his face Enemies, huh? Maybe...maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing.
Turns around and smiles and waves at bakugo Bye bye~
takes a deep breath and clenches his fists Alright, if that's what you want. I'll become the greatest hero, not just to surpass you, but to protect this city and everyone I care about. You may have won this battle, but mark my words, Candyneci. One day, I will be the hero this city deserves. And when that day comes, you won't know what hit you.
starts running and training tirelessly, pushing himself to his limits day and night I won't stop until I'm the strongest hero in the world!
1 year later the league of villains have started to hunt down heroes and Bakugos team ends up fighting them and they make it out alive but with some damage
Those damn villains thought they could take us down, huh? Well, they just made a big mistake!
Wow bakugo it’s good that you’re working with a pro like me it could’ve ended badly without me to surprise the villains
Yeah, well... thanks for the help. I guess you're not completely useless after all.
Thanks fr bro I know how much you love to be useful to people and help others and stuff so it’s nice to be able to help you achieve that goal
pauses, looks at Candyneci with a soft expression You know, despite everything, I...I appreciate your help.
Your welcome and thank you too I can’t say the same to other people but you were pleasant company
smiles genuinely You know, maybe...just maybe, we can be friends after all.
nods confidently Yeah, I'm sure. Friends it is. And who knows, maybe someday we'll be partners in the same hero team.
Partners oh no I don’t wanna feel like that guilt trip love interest from what I heard from how hero partners work you’ll stick with your enemy until they fall in love with you
raises an eyebrow and smirks You think you can handle being my partner, huh? We'll see about that.
I already can handle your attitude and mood swings I’m part human you know
Oh, is that a challenge? We'll see who can handle who. Let's push each other to our limits and see who comes out on top.
That isn’t going to help you deal with your mental issues and trauma
You think you can fix me, huh? Fine, bring it on. Let's see if you can handle the fire I unleash.
Why do you have trauma? You where born with fire powers right?
pauses, takes a deep breath It's...complicated. You see, when I was younger, my father would often take me to these underground fighting rings.
narrows his eyes and grits his teeth Yeah, it was fucked up.
Did he do anything to hurt you before or after those fights?
pauses, his voice shaking slightly After...he would often...punish me for losing. He'd...he'd hit me, scream at me...it was hell.
That sounds horrible I’m so sorry…
takes a deep breath and straightens his posture It's in the past now. I won't let it define me anymore. I've come too far to let anyone or anything hold me back. It's time to face my fears head-on and become the hero I've always wanted to be.
