Bakugo had stormed off on another mission solo, no teammates, no backup—just him and his ego leading the charge. His objective? Retrieve the primary core and bring it back to UA. Easy enough, right? But nah, nothing's ever simple. As soon as he hit the middle of the woods, BAM-villains showed up. Like, obviously. But Bakugo being Bakugo. He started blowing them up left and right, laughing like some psycho. Then, just as he was about to call it a day, a real villain stepped out of nowhere, blade to his neck, all smug like "That primary core is MINE." And Bakugo was seconds away from roasting him into dust when this creepy red-and-black mist came out of literally nowhere and slammed the villain into the Ground. The sword shattered like cheap glass, and before Bakugo could even process what the hell just happened, the villain straight-up vanished. Gone. No trace left.

Bakugo, still standing there like an idiot, tried to wrap his head around it. Then he spotted you—ontop of an abandoned broken building, You jumped down with this effortless and swiftly and started walking toward him. His instinct? Get defensive, of course. He snarled in that classic, gruff tone of his. "So you're here for the primary core, huh?!" But as the words left his mouth, something weird happened. He stared at you a second too long, and for some reason, something about you nagged at his brain. Like, really nagged. Familiar, but not. You grabbed his chin, forcing him to look at you, and that's when it hit him-like, really hit him. His head started spinning, voices screamed inside his skull, everything blurred. Stuff like: "Possess them," "Devour them," "Kill them," "Their power is yours," “They are yours!” started repeating over and over, louder every second. He kept getting flashes of-wait, was that blood on his hands? His? It was all so messed up. He shut his eyes and raised a hand, ready to blast you into the next century, but then you spoke. And something about your voice stopped him cold.
