1.) Izuku Midoriya Vs. Mei Hatsume Vs. Momo Yaoyorozu

The more she looked at the match in the board, the harder it was for Hatsume to believe it was real. She expected a couple of possibilities for the final battle: Midoriya would fight Mina, or maybe he would fight Hatsume, or maybe Midoriya wouldn't even be part of the final fight, and that the final fight would be between her and Yaoyorozu or something.

She didn't expect a three-person battle royale!

And sue, she did have to deal with The Big Three-and Melissa-for the second event to even get to the tournament, but in that case she only had to deal with one of the Big Three, and she didn't even fought him!

Now, she had no choice: she had to fight not only Midoriya, the guy who's been a crutch for her for months, but Yaoyorozu, who had the clearly unfair advantage of having both a mutation that let her fly and a Quirk.

Sure, she couldn't use them both at the same time, but there was a high chance she would manage to do just that during this fight. And that would most certainly be the end of her.

Wait, Mina told her about how Yaoyorozu worked, right? Yeah, she said how she had hollow bones and had a lean frame, but with places with greater mass or something that made her Quirk somewhat useful.

And then, a sudden memory resurfaced:

But I wonder... would you be able to hurt him?

Hatsume's eyes widened. Was this possibility what Mina was talking about before? Sure, there was no way she would know for sure there would be a three-way fight between them, but-

"Yo, Hatsume!"

The pink-haired gadgeteer turned around, and was met with Midoriya's little smile. It wasn't much, but it helped her calm down slightly.

"Don't scare me like that, Midoriya, please."

"Sorry, but I wanted to see you before the fight started," Midoriya's smile faltered. "It's crazy to think we'll be fighting each other, right?"

"Each other and me."

The duet turned around, and nearby came Yaoyorozu, arms folded behind her back as she looked at the pair with a red glance.

"Yaoyorozu... actually, now that you're here, we can do something," Midoriya folded his arms. "Before the battle starts, I think we should make a deal."

"I never thought I'd see the day you would actually say something like that, Midoriya," Hatsume smirked. "But I'm interested! What's the deal?"

"And how are we going to do this, exactly?" Yaoyorozu asked as she raised an eyebrow. "There's three of us, and only one can win."

"That's exactly how we'll do it: we make a deal for when one of us wins," Midoriya put his hands on his hips. "For example, if I win, you, Yaoyorozu, will drop this entire thing with me becoming your mate, and will go find someone else."

"And what about Hatsume over here?" Yaoyorozu narrowed her eyes. "It's not fair that only I get a punishment while she gets scot free."

"True..." Midoriya snapped his fingers. "I know! If I win, Yaoyorozu will do what I just established, and Hatsume will give me ideas for a new hero costume!"

"That sounds more like a reward to me," Hatsume giggled. "And also, why? Are you planning to change your hero costume?"

Midoriya scratched the back of his head and sighed, "The truth is, after everything that's happened and compared to my classmates' costumes, I just feel like mine was made from scraps. And it was; Mom made it in order to compensate for not supporting me all those years, and I did like it at first. Now, though-"

"You think it's time you give it an upgrade, understand," Hatsume remarked with a little nod. "But why ask me and not a support company?"

Midoriya smiled. "Because I want to give you a challenge."

Hatsume gently pinched the boy's cheek. "You know how to bring a smile to my face!"

The pair laughed for a little bit while Yaoyorozu glanced at them, her expression souring and growing angrier until she got between them and separated them.

"Now for my terms: If I win, you, Midoriya, will become my mate, no questions asked. And Hatsume will give up any and all pretense of a romantic relationship with you."

Hatsume narrowed her eyes. "Alright then, if I win, you will leave Midoriya alone, and focus on getting a mate from your own class, no ifs or buts. And Midoriya..."

Hatsume smirked. "Will call me by my first name."

The winged duo gasped.

"Oh yeah, I went there."

"So you made good on your promise after all," Midoriya extended his hand forward. "Anyway, now that we've all given our terms, do we have a deal?"

Hatsume put her hand over Midoriya's, and after a little bit of hesitation, Yaoyorozu joined in as well. The trio shook hands, gave each a nod, and promptly separated to go their separate ways to the arena.

Hatsume and Midoriya, of course, went together, while Yaoyorozu left on her own.

"Izuku!"

The pink-green pair stopped and turned around, immediately seeing Inko running up to them while waving her hand.

"Mom?!"

"Hi, Izuku!" Inko chirped as she reached the teenagers. "Are you getting ready for your big match?"

"Yes I am, but what are you doing here?!" Midoriya raised an eyebrow. "W-Weren't you going to watch the sports festival from home?"

"I was, but then I was informed that the jerk known as Mina Ashido was participating," Inko narrowed her eyes and folded her arms. "As soon as I received the news, I couldn't sit still. So I called one of my co-workers, we got the arrest warrant, and we came here as soon as we could."

"Right, I forgot you work as a detective," Midoriya folded his arms and looked at the ceiling. "I still find it weird you decided to become a detective after leaving the support business."

"Wait, she left it?" Hatsume raised an eyebrow. "From the way she helped Melissa with my eyes, and the other gadgets I've seen, I thought she was still working with support."

"No, those were special occassions. The truth is, I quit the gadgeting game a long time ago, due to... personal reasons," Inko pocketed her hands. "Now I work as a detective to put my smarts to use."

"So, Izuku got your smarts, huh?" Hatsume asked, throwing a sly look at the greenette.

"Yup, and everything else he got from his father," Inko frowned for a brief moment before regaining her composure. "Anyway, Tsukauchi has taken Ashido into custody, and he told me to stay behind to watch the final match."

Midoriya smiled. "That was nice of him. But, well, we gotta get going, Mom."

"I understand, I have to get going to the stands too," Inko scratched the back of her head. "Maybe if I run fast enough, I'll get a good seat in the front row!"

The Midoriyas chuckled for a moment before separating, with Hatsume eyeing their separation with a neutral expression until Midoriya noticed her.

"Is something wrong, Hatsume?"

The girl returned to reality, formed a smile, and shook her head.

"Nothing, let's go."

Hatsume lead the way to the arena, and after a moment of hesitant concern, Midoriya followed her.


Yaoyorozu scratched her chin as she thought about what to do in order to win the incoming fight. She could always just throw Midoriya and Hatsume out of bounds, but as their previous fights proved, that would definitely be easier said than done. Furthermore, there was also the matter of her father-

"Momo!"

Speak of the devil and he doth appear. Yaoyorozu stopped on her tracks and turned around to see Hawks approaching her slowly, hands pocketed in his coat.

"Dad."

Hawks flinched at the girl's harsh tone of voice, but quickly regained his composure and took a deep breath. "Listen, Momo, I know you must still be upset after our last argument. But, I just want you to know-"

"That you only want what's best for me, yes, I know," Yaoyorozu looked elsewhere and pouted, spreading her wings as an act of intimidation. "You tell me the same hollow words every time, Dad."

Hawks frowned. "You think my words are hollow?"

Yaoyorozu's wings retracted a bit. "Not so much your words as your reasoning. You've never told me why you wanted to clip my wings, or why it was the best for me. You just said so, and I can't accept that."

Hawks lowered his head and pocketed his hands. "Your mother."

Yaoyorozu raised an eyebrow, prompting the man to explain:

"When your mother gave birth to you, she put a big emphasis on the fact you had wings. Everyone in the hospital, including myself, figured this was the result of your Quirk, but your mother thought otherwise. She thought it was a simple inheritted mutation, and that your Quirk would appear when you became four."

Yaoyorozu put a hand over her chest, feeling it tightening, for some reason.

"So, she began micromanaging your every move. Where you would go for kindergarten, what lessons you'd be taught at home, she even got one of her goons to watch you when you came to visit my agency."

"Those visits were always the best," Yaoyorozu smiled. "But, what are you trying to get at, here?"

"Momo, your Quirk is incredible, but just as it can solve a lot of problems, it can also create them if it ends up in the wrong hands," Hawks scratched the back of his head. "What I'm trying to get at, is the reason I want you to clip your wings is..."

Hawks took a deep breath and confessed:

"I was worried that your mother would see you as a tool if you kept both the wings and the Quirk."

Yaoyorozu's eyes widened. "But, if that was the reason, why didn't you just tell me about it?"

Hawks' turn came right afterwards. "Wait, you believe me?"

"Well, I don't have a reason not to," Yaoyorozu shrugged. "But for the sake of argument, let's just say I'm considering believing you."

"Well, to answer your question, telling a child that one of their parents wants to use them because of their powerful Quirk isn't something easy to say," Hawks scratched his cheek and smiled sheepishly. "Besides, I have to admit, thinking before doing anything has never been my forte."

Yaoyorozu rolled her eyes. "Reminds me of one of my classmates."

"So, anyhow, that's the reason why I want you to clip your wings," Hawks added. "Do you believe me?"

Yaoyorozu hummed in thought for a moment, tapping her cheek as she tried to reach a conclusion. The situation felt like it should've been easily solved with yes or no, but still...

"I got a fight coming up, and I need to keep my focus on that," Yaoyorozu replied. "I'll tell you what I think after the fight, alright, Dad?"

Hawks simply nodded once, and he stared silently as Yaoyorozu left, waving her hand slightly.


"Alright, everybody! You've waited long enough!" Nejire excitedly proclaimed. "It's time to begin the final fight!"

The audience cheered as the trio finally reached the arena, and they began stretching in preparation for the upcoming brawl.

"ON THIS CORNER! THE SUN WASN'T HOT ENOUGH TO MELT HIS WINGS! IS THERE SOMETHING IN THIS UNIVERSE THAT CAN BRING HIS ONSLAUGHT TO A HALT?! IT'S THE RISING STAR OF CLASS 1-B, THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE, IZUKU MIDORIYA!"

"Go, Midoriya!" Monoma exclaimed. "You're this close to bring Class 1-B to glory! Don't let us down!"

Kendo jabbed Monoma in the neck. "Nevermind him, Midoriya, just do your best!"

"VERSUS! AN ENTHRALLING VOICE COULDN'T STOP HER! A FELLOW GADGETEER COULDN'T STOP HER! AND IF SHE HAD FOUGHT HER, EVEN THE DEVIL HERSELF WOULDN'T HAVE MANAGED TO SLOW HER DOWN! THE IMMOVABLE OBJECT FROM THE SUPPORT COURSE, MEI HATSUME!"

"Hatsume!"

The pink-haired gadgeteer turned around, and she had to hold back her laughter at what she saw: Mineta standing on top of his chair, wearing a cheerleader outfit and moving his pom poms around. As he did this, the rest of the courses looked dumbfounded, except for the shocked duo of Shinsou and Eri.

"Give it your all!"

"Huh, he's actually wearing a cheerleader outfit," Shinsou blurted. "If he can do it, I can't see why you can't, Eri."

Eri clenched her fist and punched Shinsou right in the gut.

"AND FOR THE FINAL OPPONENT! SHE'S PROVEN TO HAVE QUITE A FEW TRICKS UP HER SLEEVE! WILL THIS FINAL BATTLE CONVINCE HER TO GO ALL OUT AND BECOME A FORCE OF NATURE?! THE VOID OF CREATION, CLASS 1-A'S MOMO YAOYOROZU!"

"Yeah, Yaomomo!" Uraraka chirped. "This is the final hurdle! Throttle to the finish!"

"Give it your all, Yaoyorozu!" Melissa shouted.

"Why are you cheering for Rich Witch?" Bakugou asked dumbfounded. "Shouldn't you be cheering for Sniper or Deku?"

Was that the second or third nickname Bakugou's given Hatsume? Either he has trouble picking just one, or something else is going on. Melissa thought before responding with a smile, "Midoriya and Hatsume might be my friends, but Yaoyorozu's my classmate. And, to be honest with you..."

Melissa turned back to the trio, and folded her arms with a smile.

"She's gonna need as much luck as she can get."

"Alright, I want a good, clean fight! You already know the rules: no attacks with the intent to kill allowed, and if you're either knocked out or thrown out of the arena, you're out!" Midnight recapped. "If you got all this, then let's-"

"START!"

Yaoyorozu spread her wings and flew up high, with Midoriya activating the boots to follow after her. However, just as he began to fall down, Yaoyorozu flew straight to him and grabbed him in a tight hug.

"Nice try, Midoriya, but I know how your Quirk works," Yaoyorozu scanned the ground. "Now, where can I put you..."

Yaoyorozu didn't get much time to think about it, since Hatsume promptly appeared right near her, getting ready to throw a punch.

Oh, not this time!

Yaoyorozu spread her left wing to hit Hatsume... and she wound up hitting a pauldron-like gadget she had on her shoulder. Then, the gadgeteer pressed a pink button on the side, and a gust of wind struck the black swing girl hard enough to not only send her flying back, but release Midoriya, who summoned his wings just as he and Hatsume fell.

"One of Mineta's inventions?"

"Partially: I reverse engineered his design and made it my own!"

Yaoyorozu growled at the sight of Midoriya and Hatsume together, and she brought her flight to a stop to generate a lasso from her stomach, which she took out and swung as she flapped her wings once again. Midoriya and Hatsume were trapped in the lasso, and Yaoyorozu took the chance to swung it directly towards the grass.

However, Midoriya spread his wings and this was enough to snap the lasso in two. He grabbed Hatsume with one arm while grabbing what remained of the lasso with the other, engaging in a pull-the-rope deal with Yaoyorozu before he gained enough strength to send her flying towards the grass instead.

Yaoyorozu quickly reacted, though, by creating a blade from her stomach and using it to cut the lasso in two, resuming flight moments before she touched the grass.

With that done, Hatsume and Midoriya landed back at the arena, the latter's wings dissipating as he threw a look at Yaoyorozu, who responded with an even more intense glare.

"WHOA EVERYBODY! IT SEEMS THAT THIS THREE-WAY BATTLE HAS DEVOLVED INTO A TAG TEAM! THE IMMOVABLE OBJECT AND UNSTOPPABLE FORCE HAVE TEAMED UP TOGETHER TO FACE THE VOID OF CREATION!"

"Well, if you think about it, an unstoppable force and immovable object facing each other would be a big pain to figure out-"

"AND THIS IS WAY MORE INTERESTING! BUT OF COURSE, WHAT WILL THE REFEREE THINK OF THIS?!"

Midnight glanced at Yaoyorozu as she held her spot in the sky, and then she turned to see Hatsume and Midoriya looking at her, while unknowingly holding hands. Seeing the latter made her decision much easier.

"I'll allow it, but once one of you three is taken out, no matter who, we proceed with a one-on-one battle, got it?"

Hatsume and Midoriya nodded, and the battle resumed soon afterwards: Yaoyorozu dived straight for the duo as she coated her right arm in a white light. Hatsume jumped in front of Midoriya and put her "Hatsu-Shieldron" in front, but all Yaoyorozu did was smirk at this.

Once close enough, Yaoyorozu threw a right punch, her arm now equipped with metallic armor. Not only did the resulting punch turn out to be strong enough to nearly send the duo out of the arena, but the Hatsu-Shieldron released sparks before collapsing apart into pieces.

"No way!" Hatsume grimaced. "That punch was strong enough to destroy the Hatsu-Shieldron?!"

"Well, how much power could it hold before being destroyed?!" Midoriya asked.

Hatsume hesitated, and scratched her head. "Let's just say we should make sure we don't get hit by it."

This was soon followed by Yaoyorozu running straight for the duo as she undid the armor in her right arm, and reached for her stomach. Not wasting any time, Hatsume equipped her Hatsu-Boosters and shot forward while Midoriya pressed his boots to take off to the sky.

However, Yaoyorozu once again smirked at this as she sidestepped Hatsume's incoming rush, and she took out a whip from her stomach, one long enough to catch Midoriya before he could get out of her reach.

"You're not spreading your wings that easily again!"

Hatsume stopped short of the borders of the arena, and as soon as she saw Yaoyorozu holding Midoriya in place, she turned around and, removed the Hatsu-Boosters, and pressed their buttons to send them flying straight for the black swan girl's head.

They successfully hit her and Yaoyorozu let go, allowing Midoriya to fall and activate his wings.

From there, Hatsume and Midoriya headed straight for Yaoyorozu, the former getting ready to use the Hatsu-Fist, while the latter sacrificed one of his wings to surround his arm with a white energy. As for Yaoyorozu, she glanced at the two of them before she created a smoke bomb from her stomach and threw it to the ground, surrounding the three in a smoke cloud.

Once the smoke cloud dispersed, it was revealed that Hatsume and Midoriya had thrown their punches, but they wound up hitting each other square in the cheek, with Yaoyorozu crouching down until she opened her eyes and spread her wings, hitting the duo hard enough to send back a couple feet.

Midoriya rubbed his cheek and spat out a tooth, while Hatsume did the same... and realized she couldn't close her right eye. Not only that, but her vision from that eye was severely messed up: static flashed constantly while the few snippets of the world around her got color, only to go monochrome and back again, and that's if they lasted long enough to turn to static.

"OH MAN! AFTER WORKING TOGETHER TO BEAT YAOYOROZU, HATSUME AND MIDORIYA HAVE BEEN TRICKED INTO HITTING EACH OTHER, AND WHAT A HIT!"

"This isn't going to turn into a fight similar to the Shiozaki and Ashido one, right?" Nejire asked fearfully. "I don't wanna see something like that again!"

Hatsume didn't waste any time before she grabbed the faulty eye, and ripped it clean off, causing the audience to gasp as she wobbled a little, but regained her composure quickly enough.

It was at this moment that Yaoyorozu frowned with regret, and Midoriya's protective instincts took over: his eyes slowly became completely orange as he shot a furious glare at Yaoyorozu, and bared his sharpened teeth-

"Izuku!"

The boy flinched and turned back to Hatsume, who gave him a reassuring smile and a little nod. However, while thie clearly meant to tell the boy she was okay, there was also a hint of something else.

A hint of Hatsume asking Midoriya to win this fight with her. Together.

Midoriya's eyes went from completely orange, to a normal shade of white, with orange pupils reappearing soon afterwards. And, without any wait in between, he clenched his fists as he got surrounded by a white aura, and spread his wings once more.

And like last time, they didn't vanish as the

"Holy shit, abs!" Hatsume exclaimed.

Abs indeed, as the transformation had caused Midoriya's shirt to tear into pieces, revealing his lean, muscular frame. He wasn't a bodybuilder by any means, but he was much more muscled and toned than would be expected from a boy his age.

As for the rest of his form, it was the same as the first time he transformed: white messy hair, orange glowing eyes, and a pair of wide, majestic swan wings from his back. This time, however, his skin remained a normal tone, with his forearms and hands coated in a white, glowing energy.

"WELL, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THIS! IZUKU MIDORIYA HAS SEEMINGLY EVOLVED HIS QUIRK AND BECOME A MUSCULAR SWAN-WINGED HIGH SCHOOLER! THAT WAS A SENTENCE I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY FOLKS, BUT HEY, THIS IS U.A.!"

"I see, so you're finally going all out, huh?" Yaoyorozu remarked as she stood up and stretched a bit. "Well then, if you're finally using all you got..."

Yaoyorozu spread her wings and sprung to the skies.

"I'm going to give it my all as well!"

Once high enough, Yaoyorozu stopped in mid-air and got surrounded by a white energy. She covered her body in her wings before she spread them once more, revealing her physique had become more... petite, compared to her earlier self.

And then the light surrounding her dissipated and reformed around her as several, fairly small spheres of light. With a snap of her fingers, the spheres transformed into ethereal feathers, each aimed directly at the arena below.

"AND YAOYOROZU DECIDES TO GO ALL OUT AS WELL! SACRIFICING HER BOMBASTIC FIGURE FOR AN ALL-OUT ATTACK, CAN HATSUME AND MIDORIYA FIND A WAY OUT OF THIS?!"

Hatsume looked at the incoming rain of feathers and grimaced, only to feel a warm sensation next to her. This warmth came from Midoriya, who offered his hand with a little smile.

Returning the smile, Hatsume accepted, just in time for Yaoyorozu to shoot the arrows down at them.

Midoriya spread his wings and flew up with Hatsume by his side, dodging each and every feather that was shot at their way. However, the rain of feathers was soon accompanied by a different rain: one of white lights that was heading up instead of down.

And judging by Yaoyorozu's form being surrounded by light once more, it became clear what the light was about.

"She's taking back the lipids!" Hatsume exclaimed.

"She won't get to use them again!" Midoriya answered.

Once high enough, Midoriya and Hatsume flew right above Yaoyorozu, whose light-coated form returned to its original physique as she looked up... and saw Hatsume, reeling back the Hatsu-Fist, and Midoriya, doing the same with his glowing fist.

Yaoyorozu brought her black wings in front of her, hoping to block the attack. However, with the combined forces of the Hatsu-Fist and Midoriya's swan-powered punch, Yaoyorozu was sent crashing on the ground hard enough to shatter the very arena into pieces.

Midnight walked close to the black swan girl as Midoriya and Hatsume flew back down on a slightly-less cracked portion of the arena.

"Yaoyorozu is out!"

The audience cheered as Hatsume raised the Hatsu-Fist, and saw it crumble to pieces. "Well, that took care of that. Guess we gotta fight next-"

Then, Midoriya's form suddenly turned back to his base and the boy collapsed.

"Izuku!"

Hatsume crouched down to the boy's chest as Midnight walked up to them. Hearing his heartbeat calmed her down slightly, enough that she didn't notice Midnight confirm the boy couldn't go any further.

"Midoriya is out!"

Hatsume raised her head and gasped, instantly realizing what this meant as Midnight grabbed her arm and raised it. "Wait-"

"The winner of the sports festival is Mei Hatsume!"

The audience blew up in ecstatic joy, and as Hatsume scanned her surroundings to see everyone rejoice, she could only say two words with utter disbelief:

"No way..."
