Well… the 20th chapter has arrived.
Izuku: Wow, it's 12 in the morning.
You bet it is, and I'll get it out to my viewers even if I have taken a long time to get this out! Even if I don't like this but deem it alright.
Katsuki: You sure that's not another way to just say you're tired.
Screw you. I'm trying to think of Fanfiction ideas outside of this. Hell, I might juggle a fourth Fanfiction, if we include my other two fanfictions, if people want me to make a new PURE MHA fanfic involving Deku as a main character and such.
Izuku: I feel like something bad is about to happen.
ONTO THE CHAPTER SO I CAN GET SOME SLEEP!
Chapter 20
(Beginning the Semi-Finals!)
準決勝の始まり！
黒い瞳の出現
(Appearance of the Black Eyes)
UA Sports Festival Arena
The break was halfway through, and Bardock now stood in the arena with his eyes. He enjoyed letting the open air breeze touch his skin and ruffle his hair, and it also reminded him of when he and his squadron were relaxing after destroying the life on a planet earlier than expected. Those were the days.
Bardock honestly could go ahead and start destroying life on any planet, and he could get away with it. He hadn't shown anyone his full-power yet, and even then he had more than enough power to defeat a god. He killed Fused Zamasu three times, and he was sure that he could easily beat any threat that tried to harm anyone.
Bardock opened his eyes and looked around. Everybody was chatting and trying to anticipate who would win these next upcoming rounds, which to him could turn out either way. Izuku vs Kirishima would be a tough one, seeing as they've been training together for the festival, alongside Iida, Katsuki, and Ochaco. Though Izuku was more or less teaching Kirishima, and that would make things different since he's supposed to be a peer and teacher to the manly boy. Bardock smiled as he remembered about one world he traveled to where a Saiyan was in a place with mages and wizards, and that one man from that one group of mages and wizards who kept on sprouting about how "real men fight with their fists". Bardock tried to remember the man's name, but it slipped through his memory, since that was among the first worlds he's traveled to.
"Hey, Bardock." Bardock was then snapped out of his thoughts and he turned to the sound of the voice. It was Apotheosis.
"Oh, what do you want kid?" Bardock asked.
Apotheosis was slightly insulted by the remark, but he could see that he was technically a kid compared to Bardock. Still, he felt insulted. "I was interested in something," he answered. "So… remember when we met and I tried to take your Quirk from you?"
Bardock's eyes narrowed. "Yeah. Why?"
"Turns out, I think your Quirk has a deeper meaning to it than I thought," Apotheosis admitted. "You see, when I tried to take it, I did take it. But you were still able to use it. So… I've been thinking about it for a while and I believe that your Quirk can be both taken and recovered."
Bardock raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
"Yes really," Apotheosis said. "I'm even surprised by this. And I'm pretty sure not much can surprise me."
That surprised Bardock. "Do you… Do you think it has something to do with the fact that I got it from a point in between the fabrics of Timespace?"
"Maybe," Apotheosis said. "But, that's not my place to figure it out. I'm my own man, and I have a society to change."
"Right…"
They stood in silence for a moment. Then Apotheosis said, "I'm going to now go and check on the Titan Robots. I need a status report, and I need to gather a bit more data on them so I can be sure that they are near perfection." Apotheosis walked off, and Bardock sighed. Apotheosis was maybe the most dangerous person Bardock knew, besides the Ki users of this world, and maybe even Grand Zeno. Bardock was actually confused on how his son had even befriended the king of all the gods and angels, but Bardock knew he would never get a legitimate answer on how that was achieved.
Bardock then thought he felt an energy spike, roughly the size of Frieza's first from if Frieza never trained, but he felt it disappear like it never existed. Bardock was confused, but he sighed. The excitement of the day was have messed with his senses, and maybe also the fact that Apotheosis was close to him and Bardock actually feared him.
But that spike of power, was actually a threat.
Class 1A Stands Area
Izuku now stood with the rest of his class, and they were currently talking about their favorite superhero franchises from before the Era of Quirks.
"I have to be honest, my favorite is probably Marvel," Izuku said.
"Same here," Mina agreed. "Though Venom is my favorite character from that franchise."
"Honestly, I don't really know any. Sure I've heard my mom and dad talk about old hero movies, specifically one called Endgame or something where there should have been this one theme when the heroes were about to fight some mad villain," Jiro said.
"Would they have been talking about Fight As One for that one epic scene in Avengers: Endgame?" Izuku asked.
"Yeah, that was the theme they were talking about," Jiro realized. "And I think that was the movie's title."
"Honestly, I think Marvel has done some great work," Sero said. "Marvel might just be my favorite franchise too, and I think I could pull off a good Spider-Man."
"Yeah right," Kaminari denied. "You probably just said that you could pull off a good Spider-Man to feel good about yourself."
"How much you want to bet," Sero asked.
"Nothing, cause I know you can't do it," Kaminari said.
"Oh yeah?" Sero said. "M-Mister Stark… I-I don't feel so good… M-Mister Stark, I don't want to go! Mister Stark…" The people on Class 1A were surprised Sero could pull off a Spider-Man impression, and that was a line from Infinity War nonetheless.
Izuku then smiled and copied a voice altering Quirk, and grabbed Sero's shoulder. "Hey kid, it's gonna be okay," Izuku said in Tony Stark's voice.
Sero nodded, before dramatically falling to the ground as Izuku went through him by copying a phasing Quirk (similar to Mirio's, but this one keeps the clothes).
Kaminari just stood there with mouth opened and in shock.
"You owe me five bucks," Sero said to Kaminari as Izuku lifted him off the floor.
"F*ck," Kamimari said.
Izuku then started laughing, and raised his hand for a high five from Sero. Sero delivered that high five, and they stood there while laughing for a little bit.
"Okay, we all need to find a place and watch Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame," Mina said, with everyone nodding.
"Heck, we should go on a Marvel movie marathon and watch them from the order they released first to throat recent," Ochaco added.
"That would be interesting," Katsuki said. "I'd have to say that we would need to also watch the X-Men movies too."
"Yeah, we can't forget about the other movies that have Marvel characters!" Izuku said, excitement edging into his voice.
"Alright then!" Present Mic exclaimed from his small area. "We're now going to begin the Semi-Finals! So will Izuku Midoriya and Eijiro Kirishima please come to the field!"
"We'll continue this conversation about Marvel after the tournament, okay guys?" Izuku said.
"Okay," everybody agreed.
"Oh, and Mineta, you're not invited," Izuku said as he walked out of the area.
"Aw… but why?" Mineta asked.
"Because if you do, no one, will ever find your corpse," Izuku said grimly, his voice becoming deeper and more darker, scaring everyone in the area of Class 1A. Izuku walked off, and everybody was concerned.
"What the hell was that?" Kaminari asked.
"That… that was weird," Momo said.
"Yeah," Ochaco agreed.
"Has Izuku Midoriya ever talked like that Uraraka?" Iida asked.
"...no," she answered.
Katsuki was concerned. He remembered a long time ago that when he and Izuku were watching Dragon Ball Super's Goku Black arc, Izuku slightly had the same tone and voice of Goku Black, but in Izuku's voice. Katsuki was scared, but Izuku talked normally later on. Katsuki was still scared of because of that.
"If Dekiru does anything, let me know," the ash-blond teen said to Kirishima. "I have a feeling something bad is about to happen, and it won't be good either."
"R-Right," Kirishima nodded.
A minute later, the two teens stood in front of each other.
"Alright folks, I hope you're ready for this Earth shaking showdown that is about to happen!" Present Mic exclaimed. "Because the match begins now, without me introducing our competitors, to begin!"
That caught both Izuku and Kirishima off guard, but Izuku recovered from it quickly and rushed at Kirishima. Kirishima recovered from the shock of Present Mic not introducing him or Izuku a little too late and Izuku punched Kirishima in the face. Kirishima then recovered from the punch and wiped his nose with his arm.
Izuku wasn't messing around if Kirishima's bloody nose is anything to go by.
Kirishima hardened his skin and charged at Izuku. Izuku smirked. 'He fell for it,' Izuku thought.
Izuku then jumped and Evuku came from behind Izuku and punched Kirishima in the face and sent him flying, completely breaking Kirishima's armor. Kirishima recovered, and he looked at Izuku and Evuku surprised.
"It looks like Izuku has a clone with him in this battle!" Present Mic commented. "I wonder how this 2 vs 1 match will go now!"
'Crap,' Kirishima thought. 'This is exactly what I didn't want to face!'
Izuku smiled, and Evuku stretched by rolling his arm. "It's been awhile since I've fought," Evuku said. "So I'm going to enjoy this a lot."
Izuku looked at his clone. "So, you want to fight him first?" Izuku asked.
"Yeah, I've been meaning to get a fight in with your student, and I honestly been wanting to fight him for awhile," Evuku answered. He then entered his fighting stance (Vegito's from Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2), and smiled. "This is going to be interesting."
Kirishima grimaced, but entered his own stance (Kirishima's stance from My Hero One's Justice) and reapplied his hardened armor.
For a moment, everyone was just waiting for someone to make a move.
Evuku smiled as he let a red aura surround him, which followed with red markings spreading onto his skin, eventually making a red X that appeared on his face, crossing on the bridge of his nose and also making the lines of the X go under and over his eyes.
"This, is Full Cowling. A name given to this form by Izuku and Katsuki," Evuku introduced. "So come on. Let us fight!"
Evuku lunged at Kirishima and caught him off guard with his own speed. Evuku then jabbed at Kirishima's unhardened stomach, causing the red haired teen to cough up spit and also made the air leave his lungs. Evuku quickly followed with a uppercut, which connected to Kirishima's chin and sent him up into the air with a miniature tornado forming from the force Evuku applied and due to Full Cowling's power.
Kirishima recovered and went on the defensive. He fired a round of Ki blasts at Evuku, all seeming to hit it's mark. But Kirishima knew better. He turned around and tried to hit Evuku, who had teleported behind him with Instant Transmission, in his stomach. Evuku blocked that elbow attack and he kicked Eijiro to the ground.
Kirishima bounced after hitting the ground, and dust had kicked up. Kirishima stopped rolling and skidded to a stop on his stomach. He then placed his elbows and hands on the ground, and also his knees and feet. He then slowly lifted himself up off the ground, a smile forming in his face.
This was getting exciting for him.
Kirishima then activated his Quirk. His skin sharpened and hardened, but he knew that this wouldn't last that long against Evuku. But still, he needed to put up a fight.
Kirishima then lunged at Evuku, and then felt a kick to his side. He was sent a few meters away, though he was still on the ground and more or less slid, and turned around and saw Izuku, a smirk on his face.
"Well, I'm getting excited now," Izuku said. "I think I'll have my turn now."
"Already?" Evuku questioned. "I didn't even get to go serious yet."
Kirishima's jaw fell open in shock. Evuku wasn't even trying and was beating him?! Kirishima frowned as he went into a defensive stance. This wasn't going to be easy.
"Yeah, my Saiyan blood is just ready for a good warm up, and a fight," Izuku explained. "Or, we could tag team him if you don't want to stop fighting him."
"I guess we could," Evuku agreed. "But, let's end this."
"Fine by me," Izuku said. "Let's go ahead and play."
Kirishima then quickly tapped into Red Riot Unbreakable as fast as he could and he took a hit from Izuku, who had activated his own Full Cowling, and Evuku. Kirishima smiled, but then he felt a kick to his jaw and felt himself lose his Unbreakable state and also himself going into the air.
'But, that's impossible!' Kirishima thought. 'No one can break my Unbreakable state!'
"They broke his Unbreakable state like it was nothing?!" Tetsutetsu exclaimed from the stands. "They must be monsters! I couldn't even put a dent in him!"
"They must be even stronger than him," Kendo deduced. "Probably by a lot more."
"D*mn, they must be strong or something."
Kirishima hit the ground again. He looked at Izuku and then Evuku. "Heh, looks like I can't win, can I?" Kirishima said.
"Yeah, but don't forfeit," Izuku said. "Pros would admire a strong will to continue to fight even though you're fighting a losing battle."
"Mainly because of that being a good trait on the field when you're a Pro," Evuku added.
Kirishima sighed. They wouldn't let him go down without a fight. So he might as well give them something.
He charged them but froze instantly. He felt his body tremble as false fear creeped into his body, though he wasn't scared so he assumed it was false fear. He didn't know why but it felt like his body was moving on it's own.
But not in a good way.
Kirishima took a step back, and he kept staring at Izuku and Evuku, his body betraying him and making him look scared. He felt his body shake and he tried to figure out why he was scared. Why was his body doing this?
Kirishima looked around at the crowd behind the Midoriyas, and saw the eyes of Izuku and Evuku. Kirishima was puzzled, and then fear creeped into his body again. The eyes of Izuku and Evuku were pure black with a dot of white to be a pupil, and it seemed to scared Kirishima.
'Are those eyes doing this to me?' Kirishima wondered.
"You're not going to fight?" Evuku raised an eyebrow but smirked. "Free victory for us then." Evuku punched Kirishima in the gut and Kirishima coughed up blood. Evuku then reeled back his fist and yelled, "DETROIT SMASH!" He hit Kirishima in the face and sent him into a wall, knocking Kirishima out of bounds.
"Kirishima is knocked out of bounds!" Bardock announced, his eyes narrowing as he also noticed the eyes of Izuku and Evuku change from the green and red they were to the pure black and white that they now are. "Izuku Midoriya is now a finalist to see which students of UA's first years are the strongest!" Bardock then watched Izuku and Evuku's eyes change back to their normal color, as if nothing ever happened.
Izuku smiled and looked at the stands towards his class, and then at Katsuki specifically. "I'm looking forward to fighting you, Kacchan," Izuku shouted. "And I will be the one to defeat you in battle!"
"We'll see about that Dekiru!" Katsuki yelled. "I'll be the one who beat you, and no one else!"
Bardock smiled, almost forgetting about the literally black eyes of Izuku and Evuku. The rivalry between these two was similar to that of Vegeta and Kakarot, which made Bardock smiled at how these two were so similar yet different from the two Saiyan survivors.
"Um… That last bit of last match was slightly weird, but whatever. It's time for the last match of the Semi-Finals!" Present Mic announced. "So will Mei Hatsume and Katsuki Bakugo please come down to the arena to begin the last match before the Finals!"
I'll just ask once, please follow, favorite, and even review. That's it, have a great day.
