1 Shattered Bonds

In a desolate world plagued by the harrowing aftermath of a catastrophic zombie outbreak, the once-thriving metropolis now stands as a mere shell of its former glory. Within this decimated urban landscape, two steadfast individuals, Bakugo and Deku, emerge as beacons of hope amid the darkness that engulfs their surroundings. As the remnants of humanity struggle for survival within the fortified city walls, Bakugo and Deku find themselves among the dwindling ranks of the last survivors, battling against insurmountable odds.

The relentless groans of the infected echo through the desolate streets, where the putrid stench of death hangs heavy in the air. Every corner, every alleyway poses a constant threat, as the undead seek to quench their insatiable hunger for human flesh. But amidst this grim reality, Bakugo, gifted with an explosive Quirk, stands tall as the city's unyielding guardian. His fiery determination and indomitable spirit have earned him the respect and admiration of his fellow survivors, who rely on him to lead the charge against the relentless onslaught of the undead.

Beside Bakugo stands Midoriya, his steadfast companion and loyal right hand, armed with a keen intellect and lightning-quick reflexes. While his Quirk may not possess the same destructive force as Bakugo's, Midoriya's strategic mind and unwavering resolve make him an invaluable asset in their fight for survival. With every step they take, Modoriya's analytical prowess and ability to assess the situation at hand contribute to the duo's tactical advantage, enabling them to navigate treacherous terrain and overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Initially, when fate thrust them together amidst the unforgiving chaos of the zombie-infested world, Bakugo and Midoriya's relationship was marred by an undeniable tension, fueled by their contrasting personalities and conflicting approaches to life. Bakugo's fiery temperament and explosive outbursts clashed with Midoriya's more reserved and contemplative nature, creating a palpable rift between the two survivors. Their interactions were punctuated by fiery exchanges, bickering, and a constant struggle for dominance.

However, as the harsh realities of their dire circumstances bore down upon them, their shared goal of survival gradually began to chip away at the walls of animosity that once stood between them. The relentless battles against the undead necessitated a level of trust and cooperation that could not be ignored. In the crucible of combat, their lives hanging in the balance with every swing of their weapons, Bakugo and Midoriya's found themselves relying on each other for support, protection, and ultimately, survival.

As they fought side by side, their initially abrasive relationship underwent a transformative evolution. The crucible of danger and adversity forged an unspoken bond between them, where their actions spoke louder than their words. They witnessed each other's unwavering determination and unwavering resolve firsthand, gaining a newfound appreciation for the unique strengths and qualities that each possessed.

Amidst the unrelenting chaos that permeated their lives, a flicker of hope emerged as a group of survivors from a neighboring town sought refuge within the fortified city's walls. Among the weary newcomers was a young woman named Iyashi, whose presence would soon leave an indelible mark on the intertwined lives of Bakugo, Midoriya, and the tenuous dynamics between them.

Iyashi, possessing a rare and precious healing Quirk that held the potential to cure the infected, carried with her a delicate strength that resonated deeply within Deku's heart. Her unwavering determination to make a difference in a world ravaged by despair and decay stirred something within him, fueling a growing connection that defied the horrors they faced daily. Midoriya found solace in Iyashi's resilience and kindness, recognizing in her a flickering light that refused to be extinguished by the darkness that plagued their reality.

As their interactions grew, a bond formed between Midoriya and Iyashi, fueled by shared experiences and the common goal of restoring hope to their shattered world. They spent hours discussing the potential of Iyashi's healing Quirk, strategizing ways to harness its power for the greater good. Midoriya, his eyes filled with admiration, marveled at Iyashi's ability to see the good in others and offer them a chance at redemption.

However, this newfound connection did not go unnoticed by Bakugo. The flames of jealousy flickered within his heart, casting shadows of confusion and doubt over the uncharted territories of his own emotions. As he witnessed Midoriya's growing attachment to Iyashi, he found himself grappling with an array of complex feelings he had yet to confront. The dynamic between the two friends, once forged by camaraderie and shared purpose, was now tinged with unspoken tension.
