The weekend passed quick. The dinner Mary had prepared was delicious, and while the Big Three had arrived it was pretty quiet. Ochaco was brimming with excitement, having confirmed a new plan with Koncor's mother, who she was now affectionately referring to as 'Miss Omni'. Even the Big Three were intimidated by this new positive relationship. Especially when both randomly started launching floating utensils everywhere. Mirio phased, Tamaki transformed his face, and Nejire caught and reflected some with her force. Koncor remained transformed the entire dinner, and occasionally saved Izuku from a knife. After nothing but relaxing and regenerating for the rest of the weekend, school came about. For the next week, Koncor did nothing but train. Whether it was alone, against the Big Three, against his friends, or with his grandparent or parent, along with learning and taking higher classes upon request, he would spend hours after school getting stronger.

Upon one of these encounters with the training Black, Ochaco found him in the gym lifting weights and running. He was sweating buckets, breathing heavy, yet still lifting without his Quirk. Didn't help that he was on a treadmill, running. She decided to scare him. "KONCOR BLACK! ARE YOU READY?!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, and Koncor crashed on the treadmill, rolling off. However, the treadmill was moving very fast, so he was in a wall before he knew it. "Oh my! Are you alright?" Koncor rose with Ochaco's help, and rolled his shoulders. He had broken a finger, but that didn't really bother him. He transformed, snapped it back into place, and reverted.

"For the festival? No. Not yet." Koncor said, picking his weights back up.

"You're really serious about this huh?" Ochaco asked, and Koncor nodded.

"The more powerful the hero I get spotted by, the better. Then I can train with them, get even stronger and better, make some money, and work toward at least one of my goals." Koncor explained, transforming for an instant to see the amps he had gotten. He had overall become more tolerant to pain, and stronger physically. He had been transforming less in case in the tournament it ever came down to him fighting with nothing but his physical strength.

"Goals?" Ochaco asked, going him on the treadmill next to his. "What are they?"

"I want to be the strongest there is. I believe I can with my Quirk and my training. To do that I need to defeat All Might, and I know that he is too far for me right now. This training won't do much but increase my muscle mass and increase my attack potency in base and slightly when transformed. In turn in increases my defense, so overall I'll be ready for whatever explosions are thrown at me."

Ochaco looked down at her track, but kept running. "That's it?"

"That, and a few goals that are kinda personal." Koncor responded, dropping the weights and merely increasing the speed of the treadmill.

"Konny, I'll tell you something personal if you tell me something personal." Ochaco offered, and Koncor looked at her.

"Deal." The more information the better.

"I have a pretty bad reason for wanting to be a hero..." She said, and Koncor was intrigued. "I… I guess you could tell when you bought me that food, but I don't come from a very well off family." Koncor nodded, he had figured this upon walking up to her apartment complex.. "I want to become a hero to help my family… They're in construction… And thanks to the lack of work it took a whole ton of their resources to bring me here, and I've been saving for them… I figured if I become a hero, I could let them relax and make up for everything." Koncor crashed again, and thanks to the speed of his treadmill he was thrown into a wall, a second time. "Konny?!"

"I'm alive!" He said, rising with a diamond exterior. "Well, I guess I need to tell you something personal... " Koncor looked at Ochaco, and sighed. He trusted her, he had no reason not to. "Don't repeat this." Koncor sighed, and prepared for an explanation. "I... I have my father to thank for my dangerous and powerful Quirk. Yes, while losing the Infinite Eyes would be bad, it wouldn't be as dangerous as losing Living Weapon. Thus, I do think about my father a lot, as this Quirk is what little I have to remember him by. That, and the bands I wear are the only thing that tie me to him." Koncor admitted. "I brush my hair down and dye it half black as respect to him as well, but honestly... I don't know if this is how he truly looked. This I managed to weasel out of my grandmother when she was distracted, and that's it." Koncor said and Ochaco was shocked into silence. "So... I aim to get stronger, and prove myself, but because then I can learn about him. if I'm well known, if I can become strong even, dangerous enough, or even walk down the right path, I may be able to find him, or a person or knows of him that's willing to talk." Koncor smiled weakly. "So yeah, that's my reasoning for wanting to be a hero. To learn more, and to finally discover my roots." Koncor finished rising up. "Good luck with your dream, and I hope for the best." Koncor said as he got ready to leave. As Ochaco was about to comment, "No telling! Or I kill you." Koncor said, and Ochaco nodded. An empty threat, but she still nodded.

"I didn't... I never expected something like that from someone like you." Koncor laughed and nodded.

"Yeah... I guess not..."

After leaving the training room with Ochaco sworn to secrecy or else, and when the two were leaving Izuku and Tenya showed up. "Koncor! Uraraka! Are you all ready for the festival?!" Tenya questioned, and his split haired companion nodded, and noticed Ochaco's face get dark. He backed away.

"I'm ready to dominate this festival…!" She declared, and while her other two friends were scared Koncor chuckled. Now knowing her reasoning, he liked her new rougher personality. He also had figured why she had wanted to train with him in the first place. The higher person she trained with, the closer she would reach her goal.

Tenya, the ever formal one, raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? Koncor provides a pretty high wall to climb. Based on his training I doubt anyone can beat him." Koncor flexed his sore fingers, yet shook his head.

"Naw, I'm not much. I don't dominate you all with ludicrous ease." He said, and his friends rolled their eyes. "Sorry, I kinda do, but either I have to win. I'll beat anyone, no matter who they are…" He shot a quick glance at All Might's disciple. "To do so." Koncor said, throwing a glance at Ochaco. "Anyway, nevermind that. I'm usually heated like this for some fights, why are you Ochaco?" He personally knew, and she puffed her cheeks out at him. She knew he was baiting her, yet she fell in hook line and sinker.

"Well, I wanna become a hero! And if doing good in this festival helps me with that, I'll do it!" She pumped her fist, and Koncor mimicked.

"Uraraka, why do you want to become a hero?" Izuku questioned, and Ochaco looked at him. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to! I was just asking!" Izuku quickly said, and Ochaco sighed.

"You won't be mad will you?" Tenya and Izuku raised their eyebrows. Ochaco explained her reasoning and Izuku and Tenya nodded throughout the explanation.

"I had theorized such upon studying you all in your abode." Tenya said flatly, and Ochaco sent a slight nod.

"That's a great reason! It makes perfect sense with the way heroism is now as well, so…" Izuku began, before the footsteps came about.

"MIDORIYA! KONCOR! URARAKA! IIDA! ARE YOU ALL READY?!" Mirio yelled, dragging Tamaki with Nejire floating behind. and Koncor ran after the second syllable, sick of people yelling when he was around.

After a week of rest, recommended by his family once they found he had been training so much he collapsed when he walked through the door one day, the last few days before the festival arrived. One time, the front of the 1-A classroom was crowded with other students. Only just recently after some complications the villain's story had been publicized, and Koncor's feats were spreading like wildfire. So when he tried to leave, he was swarmed.

"Hey?! You ready to lose?!"

"You're trash, Black!"

"Heard you lost and needed All Might to save you at the USJ!"

"Can't wait to smash your face in!" Koncor saw nothing but fodder before him. Nothing challenging, no threats, every threat was standing behind him in 1-A. Even then, about a third to a half of his class was fodder too, so everyone beneath that was garbage.

Then someone forced their way through the crowd. "Purple hair, you were at the entrance exam." Koncor said flatly, activating his eyes. There was something strange about this long haired kid, he seemed dangerous.

"And you saved me there. For that, and that I alone, I thank you." Purple hair said, and Koncor waited to respond. Another voice yelled, and then Koncor took a breath. "You're smarter than you look." More silence from the young Black, he could tell something was wrong when he noticed Quirk activation in the boy's throat.

After a good five seconds and he saw the Quirk action vanish, he spoke. "What's your name?"

"Irrelevant, Koncor Black. While I thank you for saving me, I did not come here to scout. Consider this a declaration of war."

"Oh, sounds like fun! Maybe not all of you are as weak as you appear." Koncor said, noting the lack of Quirk activation. Purple hair nodded, and left the area. Koncor waited a little for any other interesting words, and got nothing. "Well then, I give you all ten seconds." Koncor said, thinking of something.

"Oh yeah?! Do some…" Koncor lifted a grenade, a pulled the pin. "OH SHIT! RUN!" The hallway cleared in seconds, and the grenade didn't explode. It was a paper machete he formed to scare people. Never failed. He left, and was tempted to train when a bag was thrown over his head, and he was dragged away. The remaining 1-A students saw who did the kidnapping, and figured there was nothing they could do as their friend was dragged away.

Once the young Black was freed he made five pistol's per hand, activated his eyes, and transformed his mouth into a flamethrower. "Young Black! Please, disarm yourself!" All Might begged, having reverted. Koncor sighed and reverted, finding Izuku there as well, looking flustered.

"Sir, you didn't have to kidnap him!"

"Better to be safe than sorry with his family. Trust me, Young Midoriya, the Black family has a history of being very wary about going places with figures they deem stronger than them." Koncor opened his mouth to argue, but then closed it. He had tried to run from Aizawa and avoid his stronger family many times. "Either way, I just wanted to wish both of you the best of luck and apologize to the both of you." Koncor raised an eyebrow, and Izuku looked flustered.

"What's wrong, sir?" All Might was bowing, and even if he was gangly and deformed in this state, he was still the number one hero. The person, that proved, if he wanted to, could one shot him. Koncor was almost sure he was one of the few people in existence that could do so.

"I've been reflecting on a few things, about the villain attack. You two hurt yourself for my sake and the sake of your fellow students, which is my job. So I sincerely apologize." All Might stated, and Koncor shrugged while Izuku bowed back.

"It's fine, sir." Koncor said, worried as his teacher coughed blood at his response. He did that?! "I mean, we're heroes. At least in training, saving the innocent is soon to be our job." Koncor explained, raising a transformed hair strand that was a pillow. He hadn't seen a handkerchief that didn't have chloroform in it used as a weapon. All Might took it, albeit in confusion and reluctance, wiping his blood.

"Yeah… All Might, I'm… I'm going to be your future! So I guess a better start out young!" Izuku pumped his fist weakly, and Koncor rolled his eyes.

"Imagine if I had that Quirk, in combination with my own." Koncor mused, throwing a punch. "A scorching hot, spiked, fist boosted by a missile engine, and air pressure powered by Quirk that provides me with the strength of All Might himself? And since I can transform my arms with resist the pain, and I could fight for long, I'd be pretty much unstoppable." Koncor said with a grin, and All Might nodded. This was a scary fact, that meant that if Koncor had gotten One for All, he doubted anyone would be able to stop him. Except for maybe that phasing boy of the Big Three or that pressure girl, the raw power and speed Koncor would have in combination with high durability… All Might pushed the thought to side. "Either way, I wish you the best of luck Izuku." Koncor said with a grin, waving a hand and saying All Might could have the pillow.

As Koncor left, All Might looked at Izuku. "Midoriya, my boy. You need to beat him!" All Might declared, and then coughed up more blood and had to wipe his mouth.

"I… I don't think, I don't think I can." Koncor wasn't the only one with contingency plans for every last member in his class, but all the times Izuku had stayed up in his last two weeks preparing, he had nothing for Koncor. Dodge, maybe? He's too fast. Hit him with a Smash? No. That was futile, Koncor had pointed it out himself, at the moment Izuku didn't really fight with his Quirk, he just struck. Badly. Fighting Koncor was dangerous, and he wasn't fully confident. However, he couldn't help but grin at the concept of fighting his ally.

"Yo, Black." Koncor froze, and looked at the hallway. He couldn't escape, it was futile. So, he turned and looked at Aizawa, who was three inches taller than him.

"Yes, sir?" Aizawa gestured for Koncor to follow him, and Koncor obliged. The two arrived in a room with Midnight, and he found Katsuki, Tenya, Mina, Yuga, Todoroki, and Kirishima. Koncor waved.

"Finally! Now then, all of you." Everyone snapped to attention. "You all can easily kill, so hold back! Eyes on you Mr. Black and Mr. Bakugo, no massive explosions unless you are 1000% that they survive that attack."

"Impalement?" Koncor asked, and Midnight pursed her lips.

"It's not banned, but if you believe you can fight without it, please do. Mr. Black, I'm rather confident you don't need that to fight." Koncor nodded, throwing away the new move he had come up with, to just stab a spearhead through someone's stomach and then electrify them. He pretty much needed that to dominate Tenya, so now he needed a new way.

"Slicing?" Koncor asked, and Midnight nodded.

"That's fine. There are some 1-B students and General Education students that have nothing but claw and cutting Quirks." Midnight explained, and Koncor nodded. "However, if I see either of you about to use a massive building level explosion on someone like Aoyama, you will be instantly disqualified lest your opponent says otherwise." Midnight ordered, and both the Explosion user and the Infinite Weapon wielder glared at Yuga, who merely looked away. "Burning is allowed, just don't kill. While it's not recommended, you are allowed to snap someone's bones." Koncor smirked, glad that he wouldn't be disqualified for an accidental move. When you have diamond arms, it's hard to resist breaking a bone when you're swinging with full force. "Now than, that's all that should need to be covered. I wish you all the best of luck." The group nodded, and left the room.

The day rolled around, and everyone woke up energized. Koncor found his mother gone, and his grandfather missing. He activated his eyes and still couldn't find them. He shrugged, ate more, despite the fact that he was filled to the brim after visiting Dinnerush again. He lost, again, but he refused to burn the energy. When he arrived at school, he instantly began to float when Ochaco tackled him. "Come quick! Before we have to change!" Ochaco hauled Koncor above her head, and the young member of the Black family didn't struggle. He saw the crowds around the school and the Sports Arena, and he was shocked. "There are soooo many people!" Ochaco said, dropping Koncor.

"This will be fantastic!" Koncor said, pumping his fist. The group went off to change, and met up in the waiting room. As Koncor was endlessly making calculations with Tenya on how much of their Quirks they should use early in the festival, Katsuki walked over.

"Glowing four eyes, stay. Fuck off other four eyes." Before Tenya could scold the firebrand, Koncor nodded at him and waved at his friend to leave for the moment. Tenya obliged and the two crimson eyed warriors stared each other down.

"Katsuki." Koncor responded, flexing his fingers. A pre-fight never killed nobody, yet.

"Don't use my first name you dual haired, copy cat, glowy eyed bitch." Koncor rolled his eyes, and chuckled.

"Who got KO'ed by a headbutt?" Koncor asked.

"Who's weak to heat?"

"Who can produce a heat of 1000 degrees?"

"Who burns through their stamina light a match to a flame?"

"Who can instantly kill through ripping a heart out?"

"Who can produce a mushroom cloud from their palms?"

"Who can turn his entire head of hair into nukes and literally destroy the country."

"Who can kill the other by shoving their sweat down the other's throat?"

"Who can produce an acid so powerful that they can melt the both of you?" The pink haired and horned excitable girl asked, leaning on Koncor's shoulder. Koncor raised a hand, and Katsuki scoffed.

"Fuck off, alien bitch." Mina stuck her tongue out at the firebrand, and she raised a acid covered hand when Katsuki's palms began to spark. The two sides held for few moments, before Katsuki scoffed and lowered his hands. "Since when did you become so friendly with that shape-shifting bastard?" Mina shrugged, and grinned.

"I saw you two throwing insults back and forth, so I figured I'd jump in. And since I don't want to get hurt I didn't want to lean on you."

"Sure, let's go. Who has the Quirk that allows them to snipe you from nearly a block away?" Koncor questioned, and he caught Katsuki's punch. "Gotcha bitch!" He barely caught the next one. "Slow ass bi…" He was blown back by an explosion which Mina had managed to dodge entirely. With steel arms raised to bulk the force, Koncor grinned.

"Take that as a warning shot, bastard. I'm not losing to you." Koncor gave a nod of acknowledgement, when the next enemy approached.

"Already starting fights, even before the festival even begins." Shoto said, and Koncor grinned.

"Trying, trying. Either way, I hope for some good fights. Can't just dominate this thing like I did you and Shoji, can I?" Then the ruby eyed warrior cackled. "Oh wait, I can. Like a said, I can see everyone's attacks before they make them, and I bet I can guess your next line. You won't win, I assume. Well, you're wrong." His icy opponent looked at him plainly. "I'm going to win, by any means necessary. However, I wish you the best of luck! Also, please don't die, would ruin my reputation." Before Shoto could respond, they students were called out.

All of 1-A and their fellow classes strolled out into the open, the four beasts of 1-A leading the charge. Shoto, Katsuki, Izuku, and Koncor lead the pack, and the last of them eyes widened when he saw the referees. Midnight, Cementoss, and Omniclops. In costume. Mary's hero outfit was rather unusual and not that fancy. She had left the cape at home, but she still had the black and cyan based tank top, and loose black pants. Her elbows were armed with switchblades, and she wore black gloves. That in combo with her cyan goggles, she looked ridiculous. However, Koncor was horrified and Ochaco gasped. Izuku squealed internally, and Midnight clapped for their attention.

"Alright! Everyone! Before we begin, I'd like our lead fighter to say a few words! I welcome Koncor Black!" Midnight gestured to the stage, and Koncor walked up on it. "Mr. Black?"

"I wish all of my opponents the best of luck, and hope they don't fall too easily. Then this would be boring, but what would I expect from fodder?" As he could sense the tension, he chuckled. "I'm kidding, I can't wait for a fun festival of the top hero school! Let's go everyone! PLUS ULTRA!" Koncor pumped his fist and fired off a firework, and the tension turned to hype. Everyone screamed the U. A. motto, and Koncor inwardly sighed in relief. 'Geez, I can take some anger but not all of it. They are all pretty much fodder though." Koncor hopped down and glanced at his mom, who was chuckling.

He still got a few glares and questioning looks from more skeptical classmates, but he ignored them and focused on the explanation of the race one last time. For the past two weeks he had prepared, and had his plan ready and he had already began transforming.

When everyone had lined up at the start, Koncor finished his transformation. Midnight raised a whip and at that Koncor activated his eyes. "Ready!" Everyone tensed. "Set!" Koncor yanked off the bombs. "GO!" Koncor dropped the highly potent sleeping gas grenades, closed off all needs to breathe, and drove through the passing out crowd, a trail of gas following behind as he forcefully took the lead. He quickly had to activate spikes however, or else he would have slipped on Shoto's freshly created field of ice, that ended up freezing the sleeping opponents.

Shoto himself followed behind Koncor with a vengeance, his mouth and nose covered with a mask formed of ice. "Figured you'd dodge it Shoto!" Koncor called back with a grin, and throwing a flash bang behind him. Shoto blocked it with an ice wall, but was run over by a drowsy Tenya, who was stumbling about at high speed. He had never expected Koncor to trick him so fast, but on second thought he should have known better.

"Koncor! You trickster!" He declared, only able to maintain a 3rd gear with some difficulty. "You said you were going to sucker punch everyone!" The more and more Tenya thought on it, the less and less that five second lie made sense.

"I'm fast my friend, but not that fast!" Koncor chuckled in response, preparing for the first obstacle. "What's wrong? You sound sleepy!" Koncor had to swerve and jump to avoid being landed on, and began driving backwards as he cursed beneath his breath. "Was hoping at least you fell for it." koncor muttered, crossing his arms as he transformed a strand of hair into another flash bang.

"I have large lungs, KonKon, ribbit." Tsuyu said, as she jumped again into order to dodge the flash bang that Koncor launched. Koncor wasted no time into firing his hand off, and nabbing Tsuyu by the ankle mid jump. "Ribbit?" By the time she turned, it was too late because she was slammed into an Izuku, Ochaco combo. The latter had used their Quirk to enhance the jump of the former, however, due to their similar weightlessness, Izuku was sent flying as Ochaco dodged the swung frog girl.

"Sorry Deku, Tsu, I need this!" Ochaco said as Koncor retracted his hands and the other two went flying downward.

An onslaught of robots rushed the approaching Koncor, and he chuckled. 'If these things weeks ago couldn't even hold a candle to me, do they seriously think ANY of them stand a chance against me now?!' Koncor thought, slicing one in half along the way. Suddenly an ice spear blocked his path, and Koncor drove up it. In the second he cleared it, he rolled around and opened two holes in his palms, blasting Shoto, who blocked again. The force of the air boosted Koncor even higher in the air, and he fired his hand at a quick Ochaco, who had nothing to worry about other than her breakfast with the high speed.

Ochaco kept her amazing momentum, and thus was harder to grab, so Koncor gave up. Koncor had seen the large robots though, so he didn't mind her false sense of hope. Koncor had began analyzing the field, with Tsuyu hopping to keep up, and Izuku keeping a hard sprint, Momo and Shoto still hot on his tail, and suprisingly Kirishima and a steel version of him were chasing him down. Sure, none of them posed of a threat, but it still intrigued Koncor. Tenya had also began to speed up, and Koncor knew that slowly fatigue was leaving his body. Koncor landed on a 2 pointer, tearing it apart with diamond hands, and launching the pieces at his opposition. Shoto dodged it, Momo pulled a gun out of her hand and shot her piece away, Tsuyu cauht the metal and prepared to throw it back, Izuku had picked up a piece that Koncor had destroyed earlier and used it as a shield to block the new attack, Tenya cleared the piece throw at him in a startling ten foot long jump, and the two hardened Quirk users just punched theirs into oblivion.

When Tsuyu launched hers back at Koncor, he took a deep breath and released small fireball from his mouth, melting the projectile and creating a slippery metal surface as he focused his attention back to Ochaco.

He watched as her eyes widened in realization as she was about to crash into the first Zero pointer. Koncor decided to use her Quirk to his advantage once he realized he wasn't moving fast enough in energy conserving mode. Shoto (still toting an ice skating, gas masked Momo behind him, which Koncor was 99% sure was accidental symbiosis) was nearing him, and Koncor needed that to change. Koncor switched his transformation after jumping to air pressure boosters, and preparing a new attack by transforming his hands into seven foot blades, and opening up multiple holes along his body parts.

"Onyx Attack!" Koncor declared over speakers from his cheeks, catching everyone's attention. "1,000 Slices!" Koncor burst on fresh air, and when the zero pointer reached for him, and Koncor swung around it, extending his blade arms and maneuvering around the arm, with quick a deft movements, heating and cooling in order to conserve energy as he severed the arm into multiple pieces, using each falling piece as a new foothold in order to not have to force out so much air. He cleaved through the machine like butter, going higher and higher and slicing it to pieces in a matter of seconds, dazzling the audience and reverting for the most part on blades, and lunging for Ochaco who was scaling the robot.

"That was a wild one folks! As you saw earlier, that is Koncor Jackson Black! With his Quirk he is one of the highest candidates to take the top spot in the festivities today!" Present Mic declared, and Koncor grinned. With a massive amounts of refined movements, he managed to not only make his own little obstacle course with sliced, melted, and blown uo robot parts. He made it to the head, tagged Ochaco's hand, forcefully activating Zero Gravity, and then proceeding to Sparta kick her off the robot. However, due to her weightlessness, she was sent flying back. She recovered and watched as Koncor back flipped, threw a grenade at the back of the robot, and flew off. The titan fell, and Ochaco threw up as it did. Maintaining her Quirk usage on herself made her too queasy, and Koncor's kick to the stomach did not help. After she clearing her insides, she touched her fingertips together.

"Release…" She got out, and she dropped to the ground. She saw Koncor drop, but he nearly instantly recovered. He was watching her, no doubt. Ochaco couldn't help but grin as she was saved by Tenya, who had awakened to full power, and sprinting force. The scalding melted metal puddle he ran through greatly helped with that, so much so that he sprinted past Momo and Shoto.

"Uraraka! Are you alright?" Tenya asked as he toted Ochaco like a football, and she nodded. Both were hoping for the help of the other, but neither was originaly going to speak.

"Wanna work together?" Ochaco finally asked, offering her hand.

"What you making me float do? Other than make you queasy?" Tenya questioned, having an idea, but not being sure of the laws of motion still worked with her Quirk.

"Give a chance to catch up to Koncor. He's flying, but weighted. If you jump with moving at top speed and I make you weightless, you won't even need to worry about running anymore as we'll constantly keep moving at the pace you set. With that being said, I'll have to make myself weightless as well for this to work, and so please don't jostle me." Ochaco pleaded and explained, and Tenya nodded. Made enough sense, and was the only way the two were going to catch up to Koncor.

"Understood. What about Midoriya?" Ochaco looked back to Izuku, who was sprinting with a little limp to trying and catch up, but there was a huge gap between the two group. Tsuyu was easily clearing it, hopping closer by the second.

"We can't worry about him. He can most likely secure a top ten spot easy, so let's go!"

"Alright! I'm about to use fifth gear, so be prepared for when I jump." Tenya stated, picking up speed, dodging through robots that were aiming to stop them. Ochaco nodded, and the instant Tenya jumped, she tagged both him and herself her holding her breath. Tenya and her flew through the sky, and Koncor sighed. They were catching up fast, but he had already cleared the robots. Now he had to worry about the gap. Mainly how to make it more difficult for others to cross. Tenya and Ochaco were a semi-non issue at this moment. They were weightless, one air blast or explosive force later they'd be sent careening in a different direction, but Tsuyu was threatening since all she had to do was jump, Shoto seemed to be gaining speed, and Koncor grinned at the fact that Shoto was using his heat side to keep his body temperature even. Izuku was waiting for the right moment to use One for All, no doubt. Even with 8 shots in his legs, he wasn't about to waste them so early.

Momo was skating behind Shoto, so she was out of the picture if he ever even jumped and resumed. Mineta was on her back, and Koncor had praise him for that. Kirishima was running, but despite being faster and more trained than Denki, he was slow. So was that steel clone of him, so they weren't threatening. Everyone except Purple Hair, who was on Yuga's and Rikido's shoulders. Koncor had figured out his Quirk, he took control of who he got a response out of, and he knew he had to utilize it in the next event.

"Next up is the great gap! Not all of the participants have even woken up, but Koncor is about to pass the bottomless pit! It has tightropes with…" Koncor dislodged his hand, after transforming it into a blade, and launching it across all the tightropes and slicing every last one of the in half, the cords falling listlessly at the sides of the canyon. "Nevermind! Mr. Black has severed all of the tightropes in one fell swoop! AMAZING!" Koncor reattached his hand, and threw three grenades at the edge of the canyon, which exploded and made the gap wider.

Tenya and Ochaco debated, and they could not come to a safe conclusion as the approached the canyon. "Do you think he'll attack us?" Tenya asked, and Ochaco shook her head, holding her mouth. "It's Koncor! He'll want to eliminate us!"

"Konny, Konny won't… He's too far ahead, flying… if he fires, then he'll slow down. He slows down, Tsu or Deku, or even Todoroki could overtake…"

"YOU FUCKING TWO TONED GLOWY EYED BASTARD! I'LL TURN YOUR ASS INTO A BASEBALL BAT!" Katsuki roared as a titanic explosion came from the back of the group.

Koncor dispensed a string of curses in two languages. He had nailed Katsuki with the gas, he saw it! However, he was near the front, and Koncor's gust may have… "Dammit, I'm the reason he woke up so quick…" Koncor muttered in distaste, keeping up his flight as he burst through the air. Koncor noted that Katsuki's detonation had managed to catch him up to Shoto, who was close to the gap. It didn't help that Katsuki had so much sweat, that he was easily catching up to the ice titan.

"BASTARD! GET BACK HERE!" In response, Koncor decided to send something back there. He had extra energy to expend, he might as well eliminate them before they become a threat. Or more threatening. He took a deep breath, turned around, and fired a fireball. It wasn't the large one, just enough so that when he fired a powerful gust of air behind it, it grew much larger and easily dared to light everyone behind him on fire. Then he lunged back with it, just as Shoto made an ice wall and a bridge across the gap. The fireball was blocked, but Koncor's sucker punch through the wall was not. Shoto stumbled back, and sent forth more ice, which Koncor dodged, and once he dodged that he had to release a blast of air in order to disperse Katsuki's explosion.

Tenya and Ochaco were still flying, but since they had to dodge the fireball they were moving upward at a rapid rate now. "Uraraka! We need to redirect ourselves again!" Tenya yelled, as they were going skyward pretty fast.

"Wait… I think we're about to get out redirection…" Ochaco muttered, before telling herself to hold it down and focus on the fight between her friends.

"YOU FILTHY BASTARD! HOLD STILL AND DIE!" Katsuki roared, and Koncor grinned, and burst up into the air. "Get back…" Two blades came down from Koncor's fingers as he landed back on the bridge. The four candidates, really five including Minoru, realized this was there chance to risk it all. Eliminate or be eliminated.

"I'm BACK!" Koncor declared, slicing the bridge in half. He and Kastuki on one end, and Shoto, Momo, and Minoru on the other. "So, I'm here man, you said…" Koncor took a point blank explosion to the face, quickly guarding his face with his arms, and the crowd went dead silent. "Right back at cha pal!" Katsuki's face was grabbed, nitroglycerin was released, and Koncor took Katsuki's face and proceeded to slam it through the ice. Shoto wasted no time in freezing Koncor, saving Katsuki with a stream of ice that reached beneath the bridge, and putting the angry explosive teen beside him.

"The hell half and half?! I don't need your fucking help!" Katsuki roared as Koncor thawed, sighing from the exertion. As this happened, Shoto rolled his eyes.

"Based on how that man just took one of your explosions, and then slammed you through the bridge, I think you needed it." Shoto responded, and he turned to Momo, who had stopped to contemplate. "Yaoyorozu, Bakugou, we need to take him out now. This is our only chance before the tournament…" Katsuki snarled, but knew he was right. A fully powered Koncor in any situation in a one v one, was not a good setup for any of the three.

"Fine, fuckface, but we're still not friends." Katsuki snarled, his hands sparking as he wanted to rush Koncor all over again. However, the past minutes events held him back.

"Never said I wanted to be, get ready!" Koncor, after listening in, stood tall with a smile. He saw Ochaco and Tenya going far up, but they'd find a way. Or, hopefully they wouldn't he had been viewing both of their training in secret and fighting them was not the best of ideas even for him.

"Three v one? How unfair!" Koncor said with a chuckle, readying himself and preparing an assault mentally.

"Says the bastard with two Quirks!" Katsuki roared, his sparks going up on his palms into full flashing explosions.

"Says the idiot with lack of a larger vocabulary!" Koncor responded, and Shoto made ice spires, that Koncor ate promptly after dodging all of them. Surprisingly, he went quiet, his glowing eyes closing and his eyelids hardening to diamond level. 'Obviously he's not afraid to blow my head off... One misstep and I'll be...' Koncor dodged the next barrage of ice spires, and sliced their tops off and ate them all, focusing on his next few moves.

"Dumbass! Stop providing him with fuel!" Katsuki yelled as he lunged for his chewing adversary, who merely stomped on his part of the bridge, cracking it. Katsuki had to burst into the air in order to avoid shattering his foothold, but that left his entire front exposed to a kick to the stomach, and then air pressure boosted punch to the jaw.

"WOW! This is CRAZY folks! Mr. Black is taking on his fellow classmates in a bridging battle between the next event and failure!" Present Mic cried, and the audience was going insane. Katsuki recovered, holding his cheek and stomach. 'Damn it... I can't fight him in midair... He has too much practice with the fighting style...'

"Bakugo, don't rush him alone like that, he's far too dangerous in this fragile situation. If one of us falls off this bridge, not only do we lose a fighter in this bout, but he also gains in advantage in the next events." Momo warned, and Katsuki scoffed.

"Don't think I know that? This bastard needs to be defeated now, and I think we need some extra help while doing so!" Katsuki snapped back.

"Who could truly support us?" Photo asked, tempted to turn and flee, but knowing the silent Koncor who was watching the other contestants as he waited for them to make a move.

"First, half and half, make this bridge much, much thicker. The more support we have, and the more stable the ground, the less of an advantage he has and the more we can take him on." Katsuki began, his blazing red eyes dancing about the endless pit. "Then, lets stall. Some people are waking up, and if we all take on the glowing bastard we're good. He can take on two, but I doubt a whole group." Shoto nodded and touched the ice, and suddenly the bridge became three times thicker. Koncor, confused why, still waited, and sent a gust of air upwards in order to redirect Tenya and Ochaco even more, since they were still a threat in mid air.

"Hey! Konman! Have this… GACK!" Koncor had punched a charging Kirishima in the stomach with extreme force, sending slight cracks through his classmate's Hardening with ease.

"I figured you'd be smarter than that, Kirishima." Koncor said, only to be slammed into the ground.

"Don't worry Konman! I am!" Kirishima declared, bear hugging Koncor as he was lifted by Tetsutestu. "Thanks Tets!" Kirishima said to his steel clone, who nodded firmly, and Kirishima grinned as Koncor struggled. "Everyone! I've got him! Beat us up!" The red, spiky haired warrior roared, and everyone in the general vicinity rose to the call for battle. Katsuki, Photo, and Momo all lunged for the other three, and the charging and now awake teams were lunging for the bridge.

"Uraraka! We are going too high up! We must drop down and take this advantage!" Tenya declared, looking down on the battle. Uraraka, who had dropped breakfast a while back, nodded slowly, and tapped her fingers together. Then they fell, and Koncor, shocked that this was even happening, was watching all of this. Fumikage had woken up, and Dark Shadow was allowing him to tear through the field. Tsuyu took a big leap, and was preparing to land on the trio of original, clone, and the captured. Izuku was sprinting at full force, preparing to activate One for All. Mina, having woken up, was running towards the bridge as well, and Denki, stumbling along half asleep didn't help the situation. A girl with vines for hair was speeding through the field on gigantic vines, and Koncor sighed. That was not even talking about purple hair riding on Rikido's and Yuga's shoulders, all coming for Koncor.

'Nope... Can't take all this damage... But I may be able to take them...' Koncor thought, and in a burst of electricity, Kirishima and Tetsutetsu reeled back as Koncor freed himself. Koncor then was forced to dodge Tsuyu jumped, which cracked the ice beneath her, whirl around the landing Tenya and Ochaco, who put more cracks in the ice, and blowing away Katsuki's explosive hands with a burst of air, shattering Shoto's ice , and smacked Momo's flash bang away. Koncor landed, grinning, although he was tempted to flee.

"OH BOY FOLKS! MR. BLACK IS ABOUT TO TAKE ON EVERYONE IN THE RACE! WILL HE PREVAIL?!" Present Mic yelled, and the crowd went wild.

"Mary?" Midnight asked, and Omniclops chuckled.

"Give him a about two minutes. Then he'll wake up." Mary said as she observed her sons high heart rate and blood pressure, aching for battle and shivering in anticipation.

"Sorry guys! I forgot he had that move!" Kirishima apologized, breathing heavy from the surge he had just received.

"Whatever, we can still take him..." Tetsutetsu said after a few deep breaths.

"Heh... Let's hope... This is the Konman after all... What you got for us? Huh?" Koncor threw his hands up, and slammed them into the ice he stood upon. "Shit! The bridge!"

Half and half! Katsuki roared as he lunged Koncor with an explosive spin. Koncor, who had gotten his hands stuck in the ice that now reached his wrists, after being only finger deep, spit out nitroglycerin. Before Katsuki could be hit however, Tenya grabbed him. "The hell motor boy?! I could have taken that!" Katsuki snarled, and Tenya nodded.

"Understood, but I'd be better if we didn't take chances or let I'm build up any significant damage. Even if minor, a weakened arm could slow your movement just enough for someone like Koncor to jab right through your defenses." Katsuki scoffed, but nodded, and Koncor, who had gotten his hands free, and scared everyone on the bridge. This was most likely not the best battle field, and there were only few who could recover on their own, but in this case it seemed like the only battlefield. Koncor had a possibility to be eliminated, and that's all that mattered at the moment to most there. Especially Fumikage who lunged Koncor from behind. Koncor's eyes flared and he released a burst of light from his fingers, causing Dark Shadow to recoil in turn, and Koncor did not waste this opportunity to grab this prey. He threw Fumikage off the bridge, and then crossed his arms to avoid a punch from Tetsutetsu, who he then had to swing at Katsuki, who ducked a sent a powerful explosion into Koncor"s stomach. Koncor had managed to transform his stomach into diamond, and then landed a punch to Katsuki's back. However, this left him open to a kick from Tsuyu, unguarded which sent him flying over the bridge. He recovered by clawing to the side of it, and swung him self back up, and being tagged by Ochaco, he began to float. He grabbed an ice spire that Shoto launched at him, snapped it, and threw it at Tenya as he lunged from Ochaco with air pressure.

This time, Ochaco dodged herself, and clapped her fingers together, which caused him to drop quickly, right into a recovery where he attached himself to the bridge with an extended hand and launched himself right back up to safety. Dark Shadow lunged again, but it was not alone. Not only it, but three ice spires, a grenade, Kirishima, and a grinning Deku all lunged for Koncor at the exact same time. Koncor cursed, and flew upwards, only to curse again when he saw Katsuki above him as he flew, and Tsuyu was preparing a jump to take him out from another angle. This in combination shook Koncor's confidence, and he vanished from sight.

Katsuki swung for air, and missed, landing. "Where the hell did he go?!" Katsuki snarled, looking about for his adversary.

Izuku, who had just arrived and was sliding along figured the situation. "Koncor probably found a weapon that let's him turn invisible! Just watch your backs!" He called, and everyone on the bridge was on edge.

"Deku, who the fu..." An explosion to the stomach silenced the firebrand with a bang, and as Koncor reappeared the assault had begun. He felt bad for cloaking, he didn't think it was fair, but it seemed to be required in these huge group situations. That guilt was quickly wiped over when Tenya tackled him with third gear, right into a prepared Tetsutetsu, who slammed him into the ice and threw him into the vine girl, who restrained him with all her hair. Shoto, not wasting the oppurnity, froze her hair cocoon into a ball, and both Izuku and Tenya shoved the ball off. As it fell into the abyss, it burst into flames, and from those flames as the cage vanished from sight was a blazing Koncor, enraged. As the flames calmed and the bridge where he stood melted, he flexed his hands, chromium claws replacing finger tips. Before even the fastest of them could break free from their shocked states, he dug his foot into the ground and lunged with ferocious grin and sliced apart the vine girl's hair, grabbing the back of her head, and slamming her into the ice as Shoto thickened it, and throwing her off. She fell into the abyss, and Koncor cracked the ice again in a lunge for Katsuki, ho reacted fast enough to block and nearly blow up Koncor's face, but the fast warrior guarded his face fast enough. Koncor was grabbed mid assault, and slammed into the ice by both Kirishima and Tetsutetsu, and launched like a rag doll into an ice spire, which was now covered in Minoru's sticky balls, and Koncor made the mistake of grabbing them. He he struggled for freedom, everyone on the bridge took their chance. One invisible person drove over it with ease, while all others attacked. Tenya rushed Koncor, a punch landing directly into Koncor's face. He then picked up Ochaco, and sprinted off the bridge. Both Kirishima and Tetsutetsu began a barrage upon Koncor's exploded back, which transformed into a diamond shield. Dark Shadow lunged and tore at Koncor's uniform and back, Katsuki lunged and began blowing Koncor apart, hitting the other two as well. Just as Momo and Shoto were about to make a move, they saw it. Koncor's face had calmed slight, but now rage was replaced with something else.

Annoyance.

Suddenly the balls Koncor had been melting for the entire assault lost their sticky hold, and Koncor whirled around, kicking back his attackers and releasing light to ward off Dark Shadow. The crowd, in awe at this new display, failed to see the fact that Koncor was no longer amused. He was sick of this scenario, and realized the truth. He was not taking them all done. On this bridge. In a burst of air, Tetsutetsu was grabbed by the face, and with a grenade enhanced left hand was forced into the bridge. "GOODBYE!" Koncor declared, as his right hand began to spark and his arm transformed. Multiple rockets, missiles grenades, and even air pressure holes as the first transformed into a warhammer head. "Steampunk!" Koncor roared as his body began to emit a scalding steam that warded off oppressors, and burned Tetsutetsu. "SMASH!" Koncor set his arm off with a devastating explosion that upon contact with Tetsutetsu and the bridge, blinding the audience, and shattered the thick bridge in seconds. Everyone there had already begun moving for the other side. Photo and Momo had made it away the quickest, a Katsuki who was propelling himself with explosions out of the depths. Fumikage used Dark Shadow as wings to fly to freedom, Tenya and Ochaco had already made it across and had begun their flying routine again. Izuku, on sight of the explosion, did something Koncor could not identify while distracted with his eyes closed and shut down, but he escaped as well. Tsuyu jumped on the explosion's release, and kept going. The invisible presence from before was decently ahead, and Koncor sighed.

He then had to block Tsuyu, who landed on him. Mina, Kirishima, and Denki were blasted over by the knock back alone, so while Koncor's destructive feat was impressive, it was not useful. He then burst on the air, using the knocked out and demolished Tetsutetsu as a springboard, racing after his opponents. Izuku, unsure of how this new set of events would leave him, testing fate.

He burst with energy, and leaped above Koncor, who had reactivated his eyes and quickly overtaken his primary three dangerous rivals in power. Izuku however, did not care about the distance, and with the help of 25% One for All, made a fist. Being directly over Koncor, when the fist came down, he expected a amazing SMASH that would decimate his competition. While the force of his punch did create a crater upon contact with the ground, it did not land upon it's intended target. That very same target dodged the attack in it's entirety, and hands began to spark with electricity. As Koncor went to sent a punch to Izuku's exploded back, the One for All user flicked the open space behind him, launching himself forward at breakneck speeds. Koncor, impressed that he was avoided, and the fact that the One for All user managed to limit himself so well, merely increased the air pressure as he shot the cloaking device. The invisible person, revealed to be Mei to the shock of the crowd, snapped her fingers when she was exposed.

"Must you really do this Koncor?" She asked, and the man ignored her inquiry in order to boost along faster as he shot long range a mine that Izuku had just avoided, sending an explosion off that upset most of the area in a burst. However, due to his distance, he could not stop Ochaco and Tenya. Without the help of a rubber bullet, that knocked the duo down to the ground. They recovered, and as Koncor burst up ahead, and Tenya picked up his friend.

"Iida?" She asked, and the hero candidate hoisted his friend.

"GO! DEFEAT KONCOR!" Tenya ordered, launching Ochaco past the finish line as Koncor burst by, activating his rockets in a failed attempt to take first, dropping mines along the way.

Tenya came in third, and was proud of his choice. The crowd however, went insane at the teamwork applied there, except for two young ones that were yelling negatives and a silent older woman who chuckled.

Katsuki in a rage was making more sweat than ever, boosting faster than he would be able to normally. Each large burst fractured his arms slightly, but there was no way he was about to let Shoto win before him.

Shoto was picking up more speed, but he knew it was futile at this point. Koncor, Tenya, Ochaco, and even that Mei girl had far outpaced him. He was trying to be conservative, but against his opposition it was pointless. He knew Momo was behind him, however, he just didn't care. His ice mask had melted by this point, as constantly heating himself was the only way he could keep producing. He picked up speed, trying to keep up with the ashen blonde firebrand.

Koncor had just barely managed to lose to his two opponents, and once he crashed from the sudden speed, Koncor was livid. Cursing to himself and pacing back and forth, and as he could tell was punishment, his grandfather, (it had to be considering how strong the pulses were, and that his mother was flinching as well it had to be) was consistently activating and deactivating his eyes. The three winners waited at the finish line, and as Ochaco was massaging Tenya's legs in thanks, as the poor man drank orange juice he smuggled into his track suit and she grinned at Koncor.

"I won!"

"Pfft, yeah. For now." Koncor said in response, and Ochaco lugged Tenya over.

"Reports on the race?" Ochaco asked, and Koncor focused on the event.

Mei was coming in strong for fourth, but that was until she was grabbed around the waist. However, it was not by any arms. She was launched into the air, and Tsuyu lunged into fourth, before hearing another large explosion from behind her. However, it wasn't Katsuki's. Momo had thrown a grenade where Tsuyu was a moment ago, to Tsuyu's shock. She focused on her goal however, and lunged once more. Mid jump she was grabbed by the ankle, and slammed into the ground.

"Sorry, Tsuyu, but I need to catch up!" Mei called as she retracted her grappling hook, and then fired off at Koncor, who hardened his face as the clawed hand grabbed it. He transformed his hands into spiked anchors as Mei jumped and retracted the hook, which easily pulled her along. Koncor snapped his head to the right, so when she crossed the finish line, she crashed into a wall. An airbag softened the blow, and Koncor snickered. Katsuki and Todoroki were neck in neck, explosions facing frost as the two raced for the finish. Katsuki had to dodge a grenade, thrown by Momo who was trying to get rid of the firebrand.

"FUCK OFF PONY TAIL BITCH!" Katsuki roared, before rolling around and firing twin titanic explosions from his palms, finally reaching his limit on explosion releases, and crossing the finish line with his arms in blistering pain. Koncor caught him, and placed his cursing rival down and dodging limp arm swings. Shoto and Momo had managed to clear the finish just before Tsuyu made the final jump into eight. Izuku came in afterwards with a jump, and the rest of the classes had truly just begun. Fumikage, the unlucky one had been right next to Koncor when he dropped the attack, was taking up the rear. The purple haired guy came in after with Yuga and Rikido.

Ochaco, whose crossed the finish line first won, Koncor had obviously gotten second, Tenya to his disappointment got third, Mei with a grin had gotten fourth, Katsuki, who had to be sedated by Koncor had obtained fifth, Shoto got sixth, Momo seventh, Tsuyu eighth, Izuku ninth, Fumikage had just woken up and swept the opposition with Dark Shadow. Purple hair, who had crossed himself but told his teammates to go step on mines, got tenth. The explosion rocketed his slaves into eleventh and twelfth. Koncor, while still annoyed, knew the next event and went to prepare. After Midnight's explanation of the calvary, Koncor strolled up and dragged his possible teammates.

"Hello! Let's run down the plan!"

Shigaraki clenched his fist, shaking in anger. "Calm, Shigaraki. There is no need." Eclipse said, and Shigaraki scoffed, but calmed slowly.

"What was... The name, that power?" The young man asked.

"He referred to it as the Steampunk Smash. Ironic, honestly." Eclipse answered, and Shigaraki nodded slowly, standing up.

"I'll be back." The man shambled off, and Eclipse waited, hearing a soft laugh.

"Amazing, the magic you've been able to work upon him." The computer said.

"It is nothing."

"Nothing compared to gifting a Quirk, is it, Keith?"

"It is not as strong as you said it would be." The murderer responded, his hand transforming into an array of writhing tentacles.

"Everything becomes powerful with practice. And you just witnessed your punching bag in action."

"The boy is weak."

"Like your Shadow Animation. Wait, and he shall thrive, and then you shall thrive." The voice said, and Eclipse scoffed.

"Beast, did I miss anything?" Shigaraki asked as he reentered the room.

"No. Nothing at all." The older man responded, and Shigaraki sat back down as Kurogiri kept shining glasses a little away.

DAMMIT! WHY?! I'M SO STUPID! WHATEVER! KONCOR BLACK HERE! LET THE TEAM BATTLE BEGIN!

"Really Shoto? Ice? What do I look like? Hanta?"

"Uraraka! Are we good? Is Koncor not hunting us down anymore?"

"Anything I land a hit on, will feel another force exactly where I landed the blow!"

"Ochaco! Watch out!"

"Alright! Let's kill this shit!"

"He won't be able to absorb all of it, and his team cannot. That's all that matters."
