HOLAA913: They are super strong, lol. My babies worked so hard to be that way. There is plenty of angst later, I promise, even if there is no kidnapping.

phoenix: Hope you like this one!

I officially have five stories in waiting when others finish being posted. Two are unedited. And they're not all crossovers anymore! Hurray! I was stuck doing crossovers for awhile. Five! And one of them is exclusively one piece characters, and is super angsty. As in Luffy gets tortured angsty. Anyways, enjoy~

When it started, Luffy ignored the stairs of the bleachers and carried Ace up his air stairs to where the class was sitting. They both sat down in front of them. Ojiro thanked Ace for bringing Shinso to attention. What he'd done was horrible for a hero. Teamwork was important.

"You're welcome. But that's disgusting, what he did."

"It's honorable you didn't want to take part when you did no work," Luffy added. "Now the world knows how scummy he is, ruining the chances for others to shine. Ace was actually mad. We get really mad when someone takes a chance of a better life from someone else. Even if it wasn't that big of a chance, it was still one that Ojiro deserved and was stolen from him."

Ojiro thanked them again. It was the first match, Midoriya and Shinso. The crowd cheered for Midoriya and booed for Shinso. Ace didn't feel bad at all. Even if Ojiro wasn't a friend, he would have still said something. The brothers had no chance in life until Gunhead found them. If someone had taken that chance for them, well, they wouldn't be happy like they were now.

Almost immediately, Shinso was winning. He used his power on Midoriya, who was now walking to the end of the stage to leave and forfeiting his match. Ojiro said it was Shinso's power, and both brothers hand their hands on their faces, peeking through their fingers. Was this it? It would look so bad for Midoriya!

They were all so worried before suddenly a gust of wind went down and Midoriya's finger was broken. They knew he hurt himself to get himself out of the bind instantly. Now he had to just not say anything to Shinso. But the crowd cheered for him for breaking out of Shinso's curse, a guy who was already disliked or at least not wanted.

Midoriya said nothing this time and moved to push Shinso out. Luffy was cheering loudly before Shinso hit his broken fingers and shoved Midoriya around. Both twins were thinking for him to use something they taught, anything to turn the tables. And he did. A basic throw that was one of the first moves that he also used on Bakugo at the start of the school year.

"Yeah!" Luffy and Ace cheered. They both walked off after Shinso said something, and there was a short break for the next match to start, with Todoroki and Sero. They knew who would lose. Sero had to know too, he was tape against a strong ice user. While his tape was useful in many situations, it wasn't good for fighting, especially not how Todoroki fought.

And he lost almost immediately. A huge mass of ice was created and thrust towards them. Luffy barely had enough time to put a wall up and stop it from impaling their group of seats. He won, obviously.

The next few matches were a bit forgettable, besides poor Iida being used as a dummy in some sort of live commercial for the support girl, who then walked out of the ring, embarrassing Iida. Luffy was up against Aoyama. Ace wished him good luck, and the classmates confessed worries about the match.

When he met him on the stage, he was grinning. The crowd cheered for him when he came out and Aoyama had smaller cheers. Present Mic pointed out that Luffy was a fan favorite. "You won't be able to keep up with my sparkling," Aoyama said.

"You go first," Luffy encouraged. So he did, shooting a beam that Luffy ducked, putting his hands over his head and landing on the ground in a table position and then popping back up after the beam was done being shot. He evaded it, but did give him the fist chance. He was too fast for the guy to watch and bounced from air step to air step, angled downwards and then before he shot forward and grabbed Aoyama arm before flinging him up in the air, suddenly above him and doing a flip to slam him down into the stage with his leg. It was over in an instant, and Luffy dropped down.

Aoyama was still conscious, but unable to move. Luffy went and picked him up and set him down out of bounds. So, he won pretty easily. "Sorry about that, but I gotta meet Ace up at the top," he said, and raised his fist, the crowd cheering for him. Unlike with Sero, they weren't pitying the loser, they already liked Luffy from the start and cheered for him.

He then made a stairway back up to the box of the stadium where their class was sitting. They were all silent before Kaminari pointed out that that wasn't necessary. "Do you think he would have wanted to lose with me going easy on him? I didn't do any real damage, it was a stun that kept him imobile. I have to meet Ace at the top," he said simply. Bakugo scoffed. "Besides, Recovery Girl can fix him up easily."

Ace's fight was next with Momo. They both walked down together, and Ace warned her that he wasn't going to go easy because she's a woman. "I wouldn't want it any other way," she said firmly, and they went to their entrance places.

Luffy was more favorable than Ace, so there were no overwhelming cheers for Ace over Momo. They were reasonable cheers. "I'm not going to let you have a chance," Ace said. "You're talented, and I'm not giving you a handicap."

She nodded, though she looked nervous. She was about to create something, but Ace was there and grabbed her by the arm, swept her out from under her legs so she fell to the stage before he picked up her leg and threw her out of bounds, skidding in the grass hard and just barely hitting the stadium wall.

She sat up and looked at her hands. The girl hadn't had any time to do anything. He jumped down and walked to her and shook her hand politely. "Do you want to go to Recovery Girl?" he asked, walking with her out of the ring, waving at the crowd.

"No, I'm fine. Luffy really didn't hurt Aoyama, did he?" Ace shook his head, saying they were always in control against people that didn't need to be harmed.

"If it ends up me against Bakugo, then I'll be going all out. I didn't want to risk seriously injuring or killing you. It was a bad matchup. You would have been better against Sero or Kirishima. Not a physical fighter."

Momo nodded in agreement. "I'm better at long distance or supporting." Ace nodded, agreeing with her. They walked back to their places in the bleachers. The girls asked if she was okay, and she said she was fine. "I might be sore later but he had control. It just wasn't a good match up," she said, being a very good sport.

The other fights were a bit to be expected Takoyami won his and Kirishima had the worst and also perfect match up with someone with nearly the same quirk. Neither won before they knocked each other out.

Then it was Bakugo's fight against Uraraka. For her safety, they hoped Bakugo wouldn't go all out, but for Uraraka's pride, they hoped he didn't baby her.

And he did go all out on her, even though she fought valiantly. Her long term strategies just didn't work against Bakugo. All of the matches seemed to be bad matchups. Bakugo won, not that anyone was surprised, but Uraraka took the defeat with grace, getting up and walking herself off stage, even if she was hurt and tired with her whole body shaking.

Midoriya went to see her while Ace and Luffy sat in the arena. "After Midoriy's fight, I think I'm gonna go get some fresh air," Ace explained. Luffy said he'd come too. Maybe they could get some food.

The fights, to be honest, were boring and predictable. Until it was Midoriya and Todoroki's battle. That one was infuriating as Midoriya seemed to give no thought to long term damage to his fingers as he used many of them multiple times when they were already broken. Did he not care about his health? Did he think Recovery Girl will fix it forever? He also broke his arm and Ace and Luffy were raging, shouting profanities as he ruined his body.

The others tried to get them to calm down at first, but eventually gave up when they were still fuming. "I can't even be mad at Todoroki! He was doing his best and yet Midoriya decided he should break all his fingers while having a conversation!" Ace raged. Luffy nodded along, and they only calmed when the match was over, the stage destroyed.

"I can't go see him. I'm too angry. someone, please check on him," Luffy grumbled. "I'm next against you, Iida." Iida looked determined and nodded. Both of them headed down to their starting places, and Luffy made sure he knew that he wouldn't go easy on him. "I think you're strong, so I'm not holding back. I ask you to do the same for me."

"Right! It will be a fair fight," and they shook hands firmly. "After that, one or both of us should go see Midoriya." Luffy didn't point out that Iida might see him by going into the infirmary as well. Luffy wasn't kidding. If he injured Iida, then that was how it was.

The crowd cheered again when Luffy came out, though there was also cheering for Iida. He had been tricked and used for the last match, so here he was going to get a real one. They stood on either side of the stage, which had been fixed up by Cementos after a short break. They had a feeling their fight would not be as exciting as the previous, because nobody would be destroying their body.

Luffy let Iida attack first, spriting at him with his powerful engine legs. But speed didn't matter when Luffy had haki, and dodged Iida seamlessly as he raced past him. He came around for another one and kicked behind Luffy, who ducked. Iida was thrown off, and went to kick Luffy again, who grabbed Iida's leg, throwing him off and gripped it in one hand before his engine stopped working.

He was in pain, and glaring at Luffy in shock. Luffy shot forward and slammed a fist he had with an air shield so it didn't hurt him into Iida's gut, throwing him back and near the out of bounds line. He skidded to a stop, one of his legs not working when he didn't see Luffy suddenly behind him, grapping under his arms and lifting him up over his head, throwing him into the out of bounds wall with a loud slam and a shout of shock and pain from the taller of the two.

The stadium was silent until it was declared Luffy won. They erupted into cheers. Nobody at school had seen Ace and Luffy actually fight when not in a panic. Neither of them had been injured from their matches in any way. Luffy jumped off the stage and helped Iida to Recovery Girl.

"Good fight. Though I lost spectacularly. I thank you for pulling no punches," Iida said honorably. Luffy grinned at him, complimenting him for being such a good loser.

"Both you and Momo have been great about your losses," he commented. Iida said that there was no honor in arguing about a match that was clearly decided. Luffy nodded in agreement. When they entered the room, Midoriya was passed out and Luffy led Iida to a bed. Uraraka was there, getting her burns and scratches treated, looking empty inside. The loss hit her hard. But she couldn't have expected to win against Bakugo.

"Iida's leg is the most injured but he will also have bruises on his back." Luffy had dented in the leg and caused the engines to fail, but they were easily fixed. "It would be very different if Recovery Girl weren't here. Some people would be dead." He turned to Recovery Girl. "He needs surgery, doesn't he?" Luffy asked coldly.

Recovery Girl nodded. Luffy hissed, "That damn idiot. He's gonna do permanent damage to himself." He sighed. "Ace is next, so I have to watch him against Tokoyami."

Iida wished him good luck if he couldn't see his fight with Todoroki. He thanked him and headed back to the stadium to watch Ace's match. He was already inside, getting ready to go out. Against Tokoyami, anyone who didn't use bright attacks, would have a hard time. But Dark Shadow was weak against flames, and Ace's were a blinding white. The match would be decided easily.

They were so close to the top, close to both winning the top spots, as they did for the last two games. A winning streak like this would look good on anybody, and he and Ace were already favorites by the crowd. Hopefully they'd get scouted by some good heroes, other than Gunhead. They hoped he was watching somehow. So they could make him proud.

Ace was fuming, angry at Midoriya for doing stupid things like this. Before getting this quirk, he never injured himself like that. He always stopped before he had reached maximum. Ace was sure he needed surgery for his shattered fingers. Ace couldn't believe he worked with fingers that had already been broken.

There were two that were already injured from the battle with the not-honorable man and then he used them again. Ace understood that he only had ten fingers, but that didn't mean you sacrificed all of them! He wouldn't have been able to do the next match even if he had won! It was useless! A waste of his health!

Ace could understand why he wanted to do his best, but there had to be a cut off line where you say, "This is going to kill me. I need to forfeit the match." It might be embarrassing, but so was getting injuries like that that were his own fault. He needed to learn other fighting styles if this one is so detrimental. You can't depend on a tactic that puts you out of commission. It was nonsense.

When he walked out on the stage, he took a deep breath and left his lingering anger in the hallway for him to collect later. He stood across from Tokoyami and bowed. The bird-man knew that Ace was dangerous, and attacked first, shooting Dark Shadow only to create a massive wall of blindingly white flames, burning dark shadow away. Ace walked forward, pushing the wall with him before he reached the end of the stage. It was very hot, and would burn the opponent if he did anything.

He sucked the fire away and kicked Tokoyami in the stomach once hard enough to make him fly into the wall. The battle lasted three minutes. He called out an apology, but the loser said he was thankful that Ace didn't not treat him weakly and restrict his power. They both bowed, even if Tokoyami was holding his stomach.

"What is with these brothers!? Will they end up being the last ones to fight?! What a fight it would be!" Present Mic shouted. Ace pumped his fists in the air, and the crowd roared. They seemed to be wanting to see Luffy and Ace fight it out. Bakugo should win his next fight. Then Luffy would fight Todoroki and Ace would fight Bakugo.

He knew all of Bakugo's moves from over the years, but Bakugo didn't know all of his. And he also didn't know that any explosion wouldn't damage Ace. So the only thing Bakugo could do to make him lose quickly would be to throw him out of the ring, but he'd blast back in, and Ace was sure he wouldn't want to win that way.

He wouldn't win. Ace already knew a way to damage his hand and arm. He sweated out flammable liquids. If Ace suddenly lit it on fire with the hottest flames, they would explode and damage his hands. It was a fight against Bakugo, he wasn't going to pull any punches. He'd finally show him who was on top.

Ace wasn't looking to be seen better than Bakugo, as a human being he already was. But he was irate with the bomb boy constantly saying he'd take him down. Then let's see him try, shall we?

He got back to the stands to see Luffy sipping a slurpee. He didn't know when or how he'd gotten it. Todoroki wasn't in the stadium with them, so they didn't talk or go down together. And Bakugo had won against his opponent. Things were going how they wanted. Now it was the four top fighters of the class going against one another.

The strongest two would be the last to fight, and the first to win. Luffy grinned and gave Ace a high five. "Let's not think about that idiot for the rest of the competition. He'll just distract us," Luffy said cheerily. Ace snatched his cherry slurpee from him and Luffy dropped down and into the hall he'd be exiting from.

He took a deep breath. This was it, he had to win so he could fight his brother and make it the most memorable finale ever. To twins fighting each other so one of them would win, the ultimate show of love. Trust, that they wouldn't kill one another. Ace had a weakness. His flames could not burn Luffy, never had. Luffy had a weakness against Ace, his body was solid.

He cleared his mind and waked out for the second time, arms up and grinning at the overwhelming cheers. Todoroki came out looking a bit empty. Had something happened? Ace could sense he wasn't at full strength. Maybe something emotional happened.

"Are you going to fight me seriously? You look sort of sad," Luffy commented. Todoroki looked surprised before sad again, perhaps looking lost or confused. Luffy had won plenty of unfair fights in the slums. He didn't care for them anymore, but he couldn't do anything if the opponent wasn't invested in the competition. "Okay," Luffy said and shot forward.

Todoroki automatically put up a shield of ice that Luffy punched through with a hand guarded by air, but it was feeble and wouldn't last long. The crowd gasped as his hand gripped Todoroki's shirt through the ice, punching it with his other hand to break it apart. Luffy kicked off of vertical air steps and jumped over Todoroki, pulling his neck down to his shoulder and slamming him face first into the ground.

The stone cracked beneath him, and spikes of ice came up, Luffy easily moving out of their way so he wasn't skewered. The iceman had a bloody nose and lip, and looked at him angrily. He short ice at him and Luffy dodged each one gracefully, flipping and kicking off of air steps to get out of the way before he was on the other side, flipping fast so that his calve slammed down on Todoroki's shoulder and then he pulled the weakened arm up and away, sensing the fire that came and then sputtered out.

Luffy kicked him in the chest so hard he slammed into an ice wall and was thrust out of bounds. He was unconscious. Luffy was disappointed. He pouted, kicking the floor before putting an arm up in victory, getting cheers. Then he went to Todoroki and carefully picked him up to take to the infirmary.

He woke up on the way. "I'm sorry. I wasn't fighting seriously," he said.

"I could tell from the start you were distant and foggy. I just wasn't going to let that be an excuse to go easy on you. But at least I'm in the finals now. Me and Ace will be at the top again," Luffy said happily. "Whatever thing that was bothering you and is now gone, I'm happy for you. Before Midoriya's fight, you were so angry. Now you just seem tired. Not angry anymore." He sat him down on the infirmary bed, the one that was available.

"Good luck. I hope you and Ace win," Todoroki said, gripping his shoulder that should be in agony. He was a good sport and didn't whine. Luffy went back out and to the seat so he could watch the fated battle between Ace and Bakugo.

Ace was feeling bad for Luffy. Todoroki clearly wasn't in that fight, but at least he made it to the finals. As long as one of them did, he would be happy. But he wanted to fight him so bad in front of the world. Show how tough and determined they were. How much pain they could handle and not break under pressure.

He and Luffy were probably not going to use their quirks. They were inefficient. And Ace would keep his body solid or else it would be completely unfair to Luffy and there was no way he'd let himself make Luffy seem weak or the lesser brother. They were pretty evenly matched. Showing each other's skills off were what they did best! Now he just had to get rid of Bakugo.

He walked out on stage with Bakugo there. Ace was hearing his name chanted. Bakugo didn't seem bothered much. "I'll show you once and for all that you're not number one!" Bakugo raged, and shot forward. Ace side stepped and then brought a foot up to kick him in the stomach, he grabbed Ace's arm and did hesitate to blow it up. The crowd screamed in horror until they saw that Ace's flesh hadn't sprayed everywhere, but white fire that reformed. No one had seen the regenerative properties of Ace's quirk.

He grabbed Bakugo and slammed him to the ground, only to have an explosion beneath him, splattering Ace into white fire that then reformed. Present Mic was freaking about that regenerative ability, and the audience was in shock.

But the one in most shock was Bakugo. He gripped Bakugo's arm and lit his hand on fire, making him scream in pain before it turned into anger and he blew up Ace's head. It just reformed. The bomb boy was looking panicked. "You've been hiding this power all along?! All that time I thought you were weak!"

"I didn't feel the need for you to see me strong," Ace replied simply. He let Bakugo attack, but his arm passed right through Ace's gut, and Ace took the chance to punch down hard on Bakugo's back. It broke his spine, but he bounced back despite the pain he must be in. It honestly looked like Ace wasn't even trying.

"Are you mocking me?" he snarled.

Ace sighed, "Do your injuries look like I'm mocking you?"

"Ye-" but Ace had a fist in Bakugo's face, breaking a tooth and flying him hard into the out of bounds wall. He did not go easy and he did not pull his punches. But he wasn't going to mock Bakugo's loss.

"Not yet!" he roared and jumped back into the ring even though he'd lost. Ace didn't expect him to be a good loser. He was going to be angry either way. Ace side stepped his messy thrust and slammed his foot back down on the sensitive back. "This… can't be! I'm stronger than you. I'm stronger than all of you!" he roared.

Ace chopped the back of Bakugo's neck. "You already lost. Don't make it worse for yourself," Ace said with a sigh. He didn't carry Bakugo to the infirmary, he didn't care for him that much. He was wheeled off, unconscious and sweating in pain. The crowd was shocked before they burst into applause and cheer.

"Here we are! The final contestants are not friends, but twins?! Who will win?!" Present Mic shouted. "The fateful battle will happen after a short recess!"
