An: I have decided to write from multiple perspectives, Izuku's will be first and then Saphira with her bloody curbstomp to any future students that get in her way, and so on. Also, I may post a couple of bonus side chapter stuff, Should I post it as a separate story labeled bonus stories or should I just post it in this and make sure to label it correctly?

Well enough jibber jabber, I've got a story for you.
-QT-
Izuku and Mina spent time together training as well as hanging out, just the two of them. They were going great, Izuku told his mother while Mina told her family. Their respective families both approved of their relationship with one another. All Might and Saphira may have been supportive, but that made them train the two young heroes much harder. They wanted them to be ready for anything. The months quickly passed with the two progressing their relationship smoothly, while not moving too fast. The only strange thing that really happened was when Saphira visited him at his home and his mother gave her a hug upon seeing her while thanking her profusely for helping her son. Saphira ended up spending the night, which was fun as well as terrifying since she had so much stuff on Izuku and Mina, she could embarrass him for hours just for fun. All Might showed up as well and offered to take them all on a fishing trip, which leads to All Might having to swim back to shore because he was too heavy for the boat to hold, nearly giving out when they were in the middle of the lake. All in all the training was both productive and a fun time for them all. The day of the exam arrived faster than anyone thought.
-QT-
Izuku stretched his arms out while walking down the sidewalk towards U. A. He was excited this was going to be his first step into the world of heroes, albeit in training but that meant he was on the right path.
He woke up late that morning, he was five minutes late for when he usually woke up. He tumbled out of the bed with bleary eyes, stifling a yawn. The rest of the morning was spent preparing a strategy for what to do in a situation. He and Mina planned together, while they had separate plans and strategies, they did agree that they work together for tougher obstacles. His quirks were growing in use, he was able to use two at a time now, however, it seriously leached him of energy. Mina pointed out that he should keep that part hidden, it would be strange to exhibit two different quirks at the same time. She suggested telling them his Quirk was completely random with what he got at times, but the situation helped narrow down what he might get, that was a useful explanation for how he had many Quirks. Saphira and All Might agreed with her thinking, but were quick to say they should be fine while they were being monitored by camera, the blind spots are obvious and if he were to operate there he would be fine. Saphira reminded Mina to be aware of her surroundings and who is near her when she uses her acid since her ability was dangerous even if it was an accident. All Might reminded them both to run if things get difficult while giving them a not so subtle nod towards Saphira as he said this. Saphira didn't notice it all, mostly opting to keep giving them advice and to steer clear of her during the exam while this sounded friendly, it still creeper the three present. The reason why is that her smile grew as she described someone that she was personally going to stomp into the ground and grind his bones into dust, along with anyone who tried to help or protect him. She then smiled and said to definitely stay away, however she was also going to help those who got in way over there head. She could do this since she herself was a part of the exam and it was up to her who to help or hinder. Izuku and Mina looked slightly hopeful from that until Saphira said that while they were her favorite people, she wasn't going to coddle them too much. She gave them each a necklace, he was a moon while Mina's was of the sun. She said that the necklaces were special, they would act as a sort of beacon to one another. The moon would grow cooler to the touch while the sun grew fuzzy feeling. With these two gifts given, Saphira looked absolutely pleased with herself, while All Might look slightly surprised, he didn't know a thing about this. The two pro heroes did their best to prepare them for anything, as they left they wished them luck for tomorrow.
Izuku sighed from the memory and cracked his neck, letting out a brief sigh of relief at the feeling. Izuku reached the gates of U. A. quicker that he thought he would. He waited by the entrance, he and Mina both wanted to walk in together. They were in this together after all.
Izuku closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, waiting patiently for Mina to arrive. Izuku felt the moon necklace grow colder as seconds went past, signaling that Mina was fast approaching.
"Izuku!"
'Think of Mina and she will appear,' Izuku thought with a small smile. Mina rocketed into him, wrapping her arms around his neck giving him a good squeeze. He smiled and leaned his head against the top of her head, in between her horns.
He wrapped his arms around her as well, "I missed you too, even though we just saw each other yesterday."
"I know, I know, you missed me more. You don't have to complain to me about that I'm just glad you like me so much." Mina said, her face a slight magenta. Izuku turned red himself, to which Mina smiled and that caused it to get worse for Izuku. He quickly turned his head away and broke their embrace.
"So have you figured out what exactly you're going to be doing for the exam?" Mina asked him, while they had a plan he still didn't say what Quirk he was going to use.
"I'm going to use..."
Izuku trailed off as he started to think over his options. He has Thief, which could be used to pass through objects and opponents, Beastblood (as Saphira called it) was unstable at best and even if he did use its active ability the risk of losing control was too high, Speedstar while useful to have extra time and speed on his side would be amazing, it would have the drawback of destroying his body slowly, Acid was just a copy and he needed to train it more. He leaned over his options, none of them were perfect but Thief felt way more suited for this and if things got rough then he could switch it up.
"Theif. I feel it will be more useful to be an unsuitable target."
Mina nodded agreeing with his choice, she approved because she was worried that he would get himself hurt badly. "Well let's get in there before we miss the entrance ceremony thing." Mina pivoted on her heel and headed onto the grounds. Izuku followed closely behind, trying not to get left.
Izuku felt something shove him hard to the left, knocking him into a concrete pillar. The impact causes him to cry out in surprise. He turned to the cause of the shove, it was Kaachan. Izuku immediately had to quell the bloodlust that was already gnashing at the surface for him, Saphira's Quirk had a lot of drawbacks.
Mina had noticed the commotion and was already on her way to knock the shit out of him until Izuku sent a pleading look her way. He didn't want her to get involved in this and risk getting in trouble, it would be better to take the abuse than to cause trouble. 'Rip his Quirk out of his body do it, do it, DO IT!' Izuku grimaced as he felt the dark thoughts screaming for retribution for all the years of torment.
"WHAT THE HELL IS A QUIRKLESS FREAK LIKE YOU DOING HERE, DEKU!" Bakugo screamed into his face, Izuku could see Mina's hands clenched into tight fists and the droplets of acid that hit the concrete below her.
Bakugo grabbed his collar and lifted him off the floor. "I SHOULD BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU, YOU USELESS FUCKING SIDE CHARACTER!" He screamed in Izuku's face while raising a hand full of crackling explosions.
Izuku's body reacted immediately to the situation, plunging his arm elbow deep into Bakugo's stomach. This shocked Bakugo as he tried to pull Izuku's arm from inside him but to no avail. He was already copying his Quirk, even if he should take the whole thing and leave him with nothing.
-QT-
Izuku was back to the familiar place where he could see a person's Quirk, what Bakugo's Quirk looked like was a constantly exploding ball. The explosions were contained within and not breaking the spherical shape. He sent the small tendrils of dark inside, quickly taking into themselves bits of the Quirk. He tried to do what he normally did, but he took notice of the dark wisps that surrounded the ball. There were more licking at the sphere almost hungry like the dark wisps were alive and wanted more. He turned his focus on them, calling it into him and that's when he heard it.
"Why don't we just take it, I mean it would be our right. We hate him with all our heart and try to be nice anyway. We take his abuse and suffer, but still, try to forgive him. He isn't meant to be a hero." The whispers stopped, a quiet whimper sounded from the darkness. "I am so hungry, I haven't had a full meal in years and what I did have were only tastes, to small to actually fill me. Why do you have to hurt me, Kaachan?" The voice said, whispering into the darkness and that was when Izuku realized the voice was his. He remembered quietly asking himself that every day after the beatings, these were his thoughts and feelings. He struggled to come up with what the hunger was for, but the only thing he could think of was when he feels a large desire to take a whole Quirk, which was always there just muted depending on the person.
Izuku sighed and pulled the dark back from the Quirk, the bits inside already taking enough to copy. The dark wisps came back slowly, still lingering inside the orb. When he finished he tried to pull himself back into his mind but found he couldn't. Izuku quickly tried again and again, but still found he couldn't.
-QT-
Bakugo was about to try and hit Izuku with an explosion until he saw Izuku's face, it was unnaturally deadpanned there wasn't a scrap of emotion to be found. Izuku leaned towards Bakugo's and whispered in his ear, as his arm moved up his chest to where his heart was located.
"Do not even think about moving. I currently have my hand wrapped right around your disgusting heart and all I have to do is think it and I will be ripping it right out of you." Izuku smiled at him, "now I don't expect you to be nice to me at all, but I will not tolerate you hurting me ever again and if you try to take this out on Mina," his eyes turned dead. "I will take your Quirk from you," then he smiled even larger, "and proceed to torment you with your own Quirk as you feel how it felt for me whenever you beat me. Nod if you understand, Kaachan."
Bakugo nodded slightly while his eyes were full of unbridled rage. "Now when I pull my hand away from your heart, I want you to leave and be pissed off at me. I can't have Mina worrying about my sanity." Izuku looked troubled for a split second, but it was gone as soon as it arrived. Mina didn't have a clear view of what was happening all she could see was a small portion of his face.
Izuku removed his hand from him and quickly fell to the ground due to Bakugo releasing his hold on him. Bakugo stared deeply into, with disgust and a mixture of confusion in his eyes, but he lowered his hand while he turned away and walked towards the main building. He bumped into Mina with his shoulder roughly.
"Out of the god damn way, Raccoon eyes." He glowered at her with small warnings of rage in his voice. He kept walking even as Mina protested his actions.
Mina quickly rushed towards Izuku, checking him over with her eyes as she got closer to him. He looked okay, but his head was pointed at the ground.
"Izuku, what happened?" Mina questioned while grabbing him by the arm to help him up.
"Nothing at all. I just asked him to let me go and that I wasn't here to show him up." Izuku sighed and looked towards the building. "I can tell you later, I'm fine right now," Mina didn't look too convinced, "I promise."
Izuku flashed her a bright small, hugged her with both arms which she quickly returned, and placed the smallest of kisses on the top of her head. He pulled away from her and looked her in the eyes, "thank you for caring about me, it means a lot."
"Of course I care about you dummy, don't sound so surprised," Mina said quickly with her cheeks darker than the rest of her skin. "W-well, what are we waiting for? Don't we have an entrance exam to take? Come on," Mina placed her hand over his and held tight while guiding the two towards the building. Izuku just smiled slightly as the two of them entered the building.
-QT-
Izuku and Mina found their seats which were placed right next to each other, for some unknown reason. They took their seats while everyone else in the auditorium was looking for their own seats. They had it arranged where everyone had an assigned seat. Izuku did a quick scan and saw that Bakugo was placed directly in front of the stage. He also saw a guy with fiery red hair, that was arranged in an array of spikes, sitting right next to him. Izuku recognized that as Kirishima, Mina's horn buddy. He looked to Mina, who was too preoccupied staring at the screen to see her friend. Izuku looked at the screen, what he saw shocked him. On the screen were a bunch of different robots that flashed by in order, small, medium, large and humongous.
The other examinees quickly found their seats as chatter started to fill the room. They weren't the only ones who were confused by what they were seeing, no one was warned about what was going to be the exam. The school wanted to have a secret exam because a hero never knew when trouble could strike and had little to no information about the danger.
The lights dimmed cutting off the chatter of the examinees. A small white creature walked across the stage, followed by a few other figures.
The first figure behind the white creature was a man with blonde hair and had headphones on his head, next was a long dark-haired man with a long white scarf around his neck, the next was a black haired woman with a very eye-catching suit on. All Might was next in a suit that was yellow and striped.
Saphira came last, wearing a hat that seemed to be made of fur with a sort of bandage covering her eye, she had a red scarf wrapped around her neck that flowed down to her legs. She had her saw cleaver strapped to her back as well as a sort of cane held in her hand, the glint of silver caught his eye which showed her pistol was strapped to her hip. Her face was uncovered and she had a small smile as she nodded to Izuku and Mina, she walked by the white creature and took a seat to his immediate right while the rest sat to the creatures left.
The white creature cleared it's throat, "I am principal Nezu and I welcome you examinees to the U. A. entrance exam. I am here to lay down the rules for the exam since I changed them due to a colleague's suggestion." Nezu smiled in Saphira's direction, at least Izuku thought it was a smile, and she smiled back.
"There two rules that you should be aware of, rule number one: No killing other examinees or Sabotage. Rule number two: You must survive, you are going to be tested over your ability to fight. That said, however, if you get in over your head you are allowed to run, points will not be deducted so there is no need to worry. There are five major obstacles in the test, the first are small robots they are worth one point if you destroy them, the medium ones are worth two, the big one is worth ten points, the largest one is worth nothing and finally," Saphira stood up and drew her cleaver and pistol. "She is worth two hundred points and whoever beats her is granted immediate entrance to U.A." Nezu smiled at Saphira, his eyes were filled with a mixture of insanity and glee, Saphira's eyes reflected back the same feel.
"Also, know that you are on your own in this test. There will be no interference from anyone here, that means don't bite off more than you can chew or you might not be leaving in one piece, haha Bwahhahaha!" Nezu started laughing and Saphira quickly joined in, while the rest of the adults up looked slightly disturbed at their principal and colleague.
"STOP YOUR LAUGHING YOU GOD DAMN WHITE HAIRED BITCH!" Izuku felt his eyes snap onto Bakugo who stood in his chair, eyes locked with Saphira's while violent explosions were going off in his hands. "I'LL TAKE YOU DOWN AND SECURE MY SPOT ABOVE ALL THE OTHER WORTHLESS SIDE CHARACTERS!"
Nezu looked at Bakugo clearly unimpressed with his unoriginality. "I hope that you don't underestimate my adopted daughter, youngling, otherwise you will be in for a world of hurt." Nezu looked unhappy with him, but he chose to say nothing more letting Saphira handle it herself.
"I welcome the challenge with open arms, but I will give you a fair warning." She grasped her pointed her pistol in the air, Izuku knew where this was going. It had been her first lesson to him, it takes a lot to even hurt her.
She placed the gun against her chest right above where her heart was, "It will take a lot to beat me." She pulled the trigger, which had the entire room full of examinees screaming in shock. Saphira waved the crowd quiet and moved the gun away, revealing a small hole in her clothing and a flattened bullet against her skin. "I sincerely hope you remember what I told you, child otherwise you won't be able to make it to the end of the exam."
Bakugo clearly wasn't intimidated, "YOU'RE ON! I WILL DEFINITELY BEAT YOU INTO THE DIRT!" Bakugo continued on his path of self-destruction and doom, Izuku hoped she didn't play with him too much. Saphira has a mean streak a mile wide, she doesn't really like cocky people.
Mina leaned closer to him, "I think he just killed himself." She whispered in his ear with a small smile, Mina didn't really like Bakugo at all so she had no qualms over what Saphira did to him.
"Well if that distraction is over now." Nezu addressed the crowd, "now all of you are able to go to the locker rooms and change into some gym clothes, just follow the signs."
The examinees all stood up and headed to the locker rooms, Izuku breathed a deep sigh. 'Today is only going to get worse isn't it,' he thought to himself as he walked down the path.
-QT-
Saphira circled the room for the sixth time while waiting for the children to be done. She wasn't in the best of moods and she hoped to see Izuku and Mina in order to bring a semblance of calm back into her raging mind.
"I'm going to break that little shits body, I'm going to have him screaming and begging God for death, I will break his spirit as I feast on his flesh, I am going to make him understand what it means to fear for one's life." She was ranting to herself, trying to calm herself but to no avail.
"I do hope Young Midoriya and Ashido, don't run into you. I almost hope that Bakugo decides to avid you during the exam." All Might said while placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Remove your hand corpse, unless you wish to lose it." Saphira snarled at him, but upon seeing him recoil at that she shook herself a small bit. "I apologize All Might, I just want to hurt that little shit. I want you to know even if he avoids me, I plan on hunting him throughout the entire area. I just don't like him, especially not with how he treats Izuku."
"I'm sure it wasn't that ba-"
"You don't understand, the bullying that he went through was horrifying. I went and looked through the records of the school, all of their teachers knew what was happening and they chose to turn a blind eye to it. It was because of his Quirk that he got away with so much and since Izuku was Quirkless, they wanted to stop him from being a hero deciding it was too dangerous for him. That was when they chose to let the students sort it out and kept their noses clean of it." Saphira quickly cut him off, before he could come to his own conclusion.
"Saphira are you sure you're doing this for Young Midoriya or for yourself? Have you ever asked him how he wanted to handle this? I think you see too much of yourself in him and you want to protect him. I can understand wanting to protect him, I care a great deal for him as well but he needs to grow on his own." All Might said with a sad smile on his face, trying to talk her down.
"He told Izuku to kill himself," she said in a breath.
All Might narrowed his eyes greatly at that. "Is that so, well you know maybe a little maiming might be good for the young lad." All Might said, his usual bright and happy smile replaced with a serious frown.
"Really, I can hurt him!" Saphira spoke excitedly, her anger forgotten and replaced with sadistic glee.
All Might just sigh and nodded.
That's when the door to the changing room opened with Izuku the first one out the men's locker room. Saphira quickly swept forward with the speed of the wind, quickly griping him and lifting him off the ground as she pulled him into a fierce hug.
Izuku for his credit didn't immediately blush at the attention, he simply got used to Saphira's personality which could change at the drop of a hat. The people who followed him out the locker room had thinly veiled looks of jealousy for his relationship with the nineteen-year-old hero, but they clearly didn't know that even if she cared for him, she would still beat him mercilessly into the dirt. It seemed everyone was done changing and were heading back to the auditorium for further instructions.
"I wish you luck in your endeavors, Izuku. I hope you are successful in the hunt for success and I hope that you don't challenge me." Saphira looked him in the eye with a mixture of concern and pride. "You and Mina may be the only two able to beat me in combat since you both know my weaknesses and strengths, but I have the same knowledge over you both. I want you to focus on acquiring your spot in the school. I care a great deal about both of you, since were it not for you both I would still be in that arcade working and struggling to control my Quirk." Saphira's eyes softened in a rare moment of weakness, Izuku felt touched that she cared about them and still worried about his white-haired teacher.
" Thank you, Saphira. I'll do my best to pass the entrance exam."
"Good I plan to have a fun year planned for us to train and this time I get to teach a whole class!" Saphira spoke with giddy excitement in her voice. The door the female locker room clicked open a final time and out stepped Mina, who was immediately swooped up as well in her grasp.
Saphira nuzzled her head against the both of them, reminding the two teens if a very affectionate dog, one that could tear them limb from limb if it wished too. Mina was quick to return her hug and placed her head against the woman who was holding the both of them in the air with ease.
All Might just look lost, but with a quick sigh he placed his hand against her shoulder while looking at the two heroes in training with pride.
"Go beyond Plus Ultra, I believe in you too!" The pro hero exclaimed proudly.
Saphira quickly dropped the two students and wished them luck one final time before they headed back to the auditorium.
-QT-
They were taken to a scale model of the city, one which was surprisingly detailed which had Izuku wondering what kind of Quirk the person who designed it had. Mina just sighed while handing her, slightly obsessive, boyfriend his notebook, which he had brought as a last minute decision. He wanted to record any new quirks he observed during the exam, whenever he wasn't fighting for a spot. Izuku was quick to theorize about the Quirk that helped build this massive model of a city.
Mina took the time to observe the city while Izuku was quickly jotting down notes and Quirks he observed from other examinees. Thankfully no one really minded his habit, which was very noticeable when he would walk up to them and ask about said Quirks. If she was, to be honest the other people seemed to enjoy the attention, especially the less noticeable Quirk abilities. Mina gazed at him with a slight smile as he made new acquaintances, it reminded her of how he used to be, a nervous wreck and socially awkward. He really had grown so much from having her in his life, the thought filled her with happiness as well as a little bit of pride in him.
Mina took the time to do some stretches since the exam would start once a buzzer went off. Saphira told then that she would be arriving at the area by plane and that her entrance would be synonymous with the buzzer, with a slight smile saying that they would definitely notice her entrance. Mina sighed at her friend-, teach-, well Saphira classified as something but she couldn't quite describe it. If she had to she would like it to have a very doting older sister who didn't understand the concept of boundaries all that well. Saphira's antics certainly didn't help her image to others that was for sure, because just on the ride her alone she heard different opinions about her ranging from terrifying, a total villain and one certain opinion of very attractive that had her searching for the one who said it, because she needed to get them some help before the exam even started. Mina shuddered at how Saphira would act upon hearing something like that.
Mina sighed and focused on her Quirk exercises, generating a range of acid from slightly corrosive to highly corrosive, she made sure to separate from the group as to not accidentally hurt anyone. She was testing how quick she was able to change her range at will. She came to the conclusion too fast enough, for now at least.
"Yo, Ashido how have you been doing?" Mina turned at the very recognizable voice. She saw a spiky red-haired teen running up to her with his sharp teeth showing in a friendly grin, one she returned very quickly to her horn buddy.
"I have been doing very well Kirishima, I actually got a boyfriend, ya know!" She said, smiling at the completely shocked expression he made. "Yup, I beat you in finding someone who is important to me, buddy!" Kirishima just hung his head low in defeat, while Mina placed her hand on his shoulder in understanding. "It's okay, you'll find someone who can stand your very upbeat personality eventually, even if you wouldn't be able to tell they liked you because you are so dense."
"Thanks, Ashido, that really helped-. HEY WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN DENSE!?" Kirishima yelled, after having realized that he had been had.
"Well, isn't your Quirk Density or something," Mina said, with a blank look as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"It's hardening, not density, I thought you remembered that much! Geez and here I was about to be happy for you." He crossed his arms with a slight pout forming until he noticed Mina's growing smirk. "You were fucking with me, weren't you?" He groaned when Mina nodded her head in confirmation.
"You haven't changed at all, Kirishima," Mina said while trying not to double over with laughter and Kirishima joined her in laughing not too long after.
"In all seriousness though, who is your boyfriend? I can only imagine someone who is just as upbeat and peppy as you though as time goes on, so please show me already." He asked after the two caught their breath.
"Him," Mina stated as she pointed Izuku out, he was excitedly talking with a boy who had what looked like engine exhausts coming out of his legs.
"Really huh," Kirishima examined Izuku from afar. "I mean, he looks OK to me but he looks kind of quiet and shy. How long have you two been dating?"
"Not too long now, I asked him out soon after school was out. I think it's been about a month or two at this point. He is a great person and I am happy to know him."
Kirishina stared at her for a minute before recognition bloomed in his eyes. "Is he the guy you ran over with a shopping cart, the one who helped you with your math homework and the reason you passed with flying colors overshadowing me and everyone else?" Mina turned away and started lightly coughing in order to avoid the question. " Whatever doesn't matter now, I am happy for you Ashido. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go meet the guy I heard so much about in middle school."
Mina nodded and went back to her quick exercises, she had no doubt that Kirishima and Izuku woks actually hit it off. She just hoped Izuku didn't get too far into Quirk observation mode. She turned to look at her boyfriend, whose face had taken a healthy red blush while talking to Kirishima, no doubt he was embarrassing her as well, letting Izuku know how much she talked about him. She took a deep breath trying to get rid of her blush as well as not to use an acid on Kirishima that would cause him to itch for months.
-QT- (If you want to listen to music for this part, I suggest Headstrong- trapt or Mad World ost Crazy XD)
Saphira smiled as she was waiting for the signal to go off, she had a total of twenty seconds left, if the counter on the timer was correct. She opened the planes side door immediately being buffeted by the wind, she took a breath, ten seconds left were left on the clock. She took a leap off the plane and into the air, she focused in her mind activating her Quirk to give her a very intimidating form.
Her skin stretched and grew dark silver scales, she felt two growths protrude from her back between her shoulder blades and her newly formed wings burst forth in a shower of blood and gristle, her body bloated in size, her bones growing denser and heavier, her teeth grew sharper and more filled her head as it grew in length, her arms and legs grew larger changing in shape and form, her fingers and toes were replaced by talons sharp enough to rend flesh from bone, her neck stretched longer, she felt new organs growing inside her in order to produce fire. She surged her wings forward, tilted her neck towards the sky and breathed a jet of flame into the sky. Saphira landed on top of a building and started towards the starting area, seeing all the terrified humans gawking at their fifth obstacle. She saw her two favorite people already running into the exam, taking the headstart she was, accidentally, providing them. Saphira roared in approval while taking to the sky in a mighty gust of wind, as she ascended quickly.
She aimed her body towards the massive gathering of examinees and plummeted towards them with flame spewing from her mouth. They quickly dispersed into different directions, except for two of them.
One was a boy with bi-colored hair, one-half white while the other was red. The other had her veins she recognized easily, it was that little shit. Her blood turned into fire as she stared directly at the child, he still believed himself to be better than her.
'Time to make that all change,' Saphira thought to herself.
The bi-colored boy raised a massive wall of ice, Saphira narrowed her eyes as more and more of it came towards her. She quickly opened her mouth and breathed fire around herself, wreathing her in a fiery second skin that burned through the ice easily, the water from the ice put out the fire. She smiled, her dragon form baring all of its teeth in a big toothy grin.
Bakugo launched himself into the air towards her, with two massive explosions. He grabbed her wing as she passed by and hauled himself over onto her back. Saphira tried to roll and dislodge her unwanted passenger, but Bakugo held fast and planted hard explosions at the base of her wings. Saphira howled in pain as she felt her wings breaking under the assault, she hit the ground hard and skidded across the concrete.
"Move!" The bi-colored boy shouted his warning to Bakugo, who jumped to get out of the way as a mountain of ice formed over Saphira trapping her inside. Saphira's fire burned an exit and she quickly emerged flapping her wings trying to take to the sky. The bi-colored boy used his ice and covered both of her wings.
Bakugo capitalized on this, launching himself at her again.
"DIIIIEEEE!" He screamed, as he placed a hand over her ice encased wings and used a maximum amount of explosive force.
Saphira's wings shattered to pieces, causing her to fall to the ground in a heap. She shrank back to her normal form curled in a ball and coughing out blood.
The bi-colored boy's face stayed impassive, no emotion at all while Bakugo had a cruel grin of victory covering his face.
"Looks like we won," The bi-colored boy said. "So do we both get into U.A. now?"
"I DID THIS ALL BY MYSELF! I DIDN'T NEED YOUR DAMN HELP!" Bakugo turned on the boy, his eyes glaring murder.
"This fight isn't over yet," the two teens froze and turned to face Saphira. She stood with an uneven grin on her face, blood covering her back from her missing wings but otherwise she completely human now. Her cleaver gripped tightly in her hands as her breath was ragged and labored, she sounded god awful.
"I haven't had fun like this in ages, you know. I like your style kid, freezing my wings was a good call." She looked over at him, "what's your name?"
"Shoto Todoroki and I do believe that we won. It would be foolish for you to continue fighting like that." Todoroki said, without taking his off her. Todoroki's eyes narrowed at the sight of her blood slowly being pulled back inside her body.
"I don't think so, Todoroki. I do respect you, but I still have a job to do." Saphira hefted her cleaver and switched it into an extended mode. "I hope you keep fighting even when you realize it's pointless to continue."
Saphira moved fast and struck Bakugo first, kicking him as hard as she could in the stomach. She gripped his head with one hand and brought it down to connect with her knee as she knocked him unconscious before Todoroki could even move to help him.
Saphira turned towards him, he quickly took a defensive stance. Saphira shook her head and put her weapons up.
"I like you kid, you've got a lot of guts and up you put up with this ass," she briefly gestured to the unconscious teen. "You worked with him well enough, your Quirk is strong and you have good judgment."
Saphira grabbed her hat and pulled it off, giving it a good shake. She bowed to Todoroki, who was blankly watching with slight interest.
"You pass, in my book at least."
"I thought we had to beat you in a fight in order to get the spot?"
"You did, not Bakugo. You would have been able to beat me by yourself, he just sped up the process. I can pass people who I want," she looked down at Bakugo, "and he doesn't make it in my book, not by a long shot. However, I am nice he will be up in about 2 minutes. That is more than enough time for him to have a chance at passing." Saphira shot Todoroki a small apologetic smile. "I do have a question for you, what's your Quirk?"
Todoroki blinked, "it's called half-cold-half-hot."
"I get it, I get it. Does It have anything to do with your hair and eyes, since they have different colors and all." She said with a smile, while carefully placing her hat back on.
"Yes." Was Todoroki's simple one-word answer.
"Cool, that means you are kinda like me, see." Saphira raised the hair covering her orange eye. "I only show the blue one, since people get unnerved by the orange one. So what do you think new friend?" She asked with a small grin.
"Please don't automatically make me a friend. You just met me." Todoroki asked without a single shred of emotion.
"Gahhhh, don't be so difficult. I already want to punch someone thanks to Bakugo." Saphira scrunched her face up into a frown, then smiled again as an idea hit her. "Ohh, maybe I can go fight Endeavor. He always acts like a prick and I would love to hurt him, just a tad though."
Todoroki cracked a very miniscule smirk, which Saphira noticed but chose not to comment on.
"All right you can wait by the entrance to the area. I still have some hunting to do," Saphira told him, turning her body and changing into a vulpine like creature. She scaled a building and released a howl, signaling her reentry of the hunt.

Izuku grimaced as he ran down the street, he needed to pick up the pace otherwise he wouldn't be able to pass. He did a quick tally of what points he had. He has taken down, seven one pointers, three two-pointers and that's all.
Izuku heard a scream, it sounded like someone was in trouble. He zeroed in on the sound and quickly tracked it back down to where it originated, he sent a quick thanks to Saphira's Quirk.
There was a brown haired girl trapped under a piece of rubble with a humongous robot that was going to crush her. He did a quick estimate of what he needed to do, there had to a sort of control mechanism inside its head somewhere. He just needed to buy the girl sometime before he could do anything. He took a deep breath, and prayed a silent prayer for control, he let Saphira's Quirk flow over him.
He was a werewolf looking thing again, he took a good look at himself in the glass next to him. He was changed fully, all of his features were melted away and the only thing that he had was the dark green hair.
He quickly sprinted into action, leaping into the air he slashed his claws against the chassis of the robot's frame leaving a shallow scratch against it. Izuku knew that he would be able to affect the outside, that was just to buy the girl some time to get away. It worked as the thing was currently trying to kill him, Izuku leaped onto a building rooftop.
Izuku took a look around, he needed to do something stupid. He had to use this Quirk and Thief's intangibility to get inside the robot and cause some damage.
Izuku had to move fast, he would only be able to use Thief for five seconds while using Beastblood. Izuku leaped towards the robots head and once he was within range he used Thief, quickly entering the robots head. Izuku started to savagely claw and chew wires, tearing the robot's brain apart. Izuku worked his way down the robot and was losing control along the way, biting and clawing everything he could reach. His mind was no better than an animal's and once he saw the glowing blue glass he couldn't help himself when he bit into it.
The robot was consumed by a large explosion, which sent Izuku rocketing into the sky and into a building, the impact was nothing compared to the metal debris which had impaled him through the stomach. His Beastblood form melting away, after breaking through the wall, leaving him broken and impaled on the floor, he rolled his head to where the girl was. She was OK but was currently running off further into the course. Izuku wasn't too upset, he was only impaled and bleeding profusely, she probably had more important things to do than help him.
"I'm sorry Mina, I did something stupid." Izuku rasped out, his voice incredibly weak. His eyes felt extremely heavy and he could feel sleep beckoning him into its warm embrace. He.. slowly.. closed.. his.. eyes...
"My foolish student, what have you done to yourself!" Izuku heard a voice, that sounded very familiar, but he was too tired to recognize who it was. He slowly pried his eyes open to see a figure with orange and blue eyes and white hair.
"Saphira...?"
"Shut up! Conserve your strength for what I'm about to do is going to hurt."
Izuku barely had enough time to register what was happening as he felt a burning sensation coming from his stomach, as Saphira was pulling the large metal shard out of him. He coughed up more blood, the wound in his stomach pouring blood out profusely.
"Stay with me! It's going to be better in a second, I promise!" Izuku looked at Saphira, who was grabbing her cleaver in a rush, she was panicking.
Saphira placed the cleaver against her forearm and ran the blade down it. She cut through the skin easily, blood quickly pouring from the wound. She held the wound over his stomach and dripped her blood into his wound. He instantly felt a small burning in sensation, that felt a million times more pleasant than before.
"My Quirk can heal me with my own blood, as well as blood that isn't mine. I figured since you can't use the transformation, that maybe blood can heal you. I just hope it works." Saphira muttered that last part, she had a thin smile. She was desperately trying not to freak out. "That girl you saved, she was screaming for help. I came the second I heard her and when I arrive I smell blood, then I see you. I think you passed, you showed the stuff of a true hero. You jumped in to help her, and you accomplished in saving her life." Saphira placed her hand on top of his head and gave him a gentle pat.
"Saphira did... Mina...?"
"Pass? Yes, she did, she took down a bunch of ten pointers her acid made short work of them." Saphira looked at his wound, it was closing slowly. His muscle and intestine were firing themselves, and Saphira had a full view of them being fixed correctly. Her face twisted into a grin as the skin started to grow over the muscle, leaving pale skin in its place.
Izuku quickly passed out from the lack of energy.
Saphira placed the young boy in her arms and rushed to the entrance, where there was a vehicle waiting for her. She only hoped that Mina would take it easy on him for a while.

AN: All right so this is much longer than I normally make and the reason why is Christmas. That and I wanted to make a Christmas chapter for The Monster's Children, I really like the idea of one. I will be getting a picture for that story's cover soon, one with Ruby in it, just ruby though since I don't have a lot of money. I also wish everyone a Merry Christmas, since mine isn't going to be too fun due to my brother pissing my mom off. YAAAYY FUN!
Sarcasm aside, I enjoyed writing this chapter and had fun. I tried my best with Grammer and other issues, I hope you enjoyed the multi-perspectives.
