Chapter 12

It was Kirishima's turn to face an obstacle the son of Endeavor. At the beginning of the day Shoto Todoroki had declared he would win and every match he had succeeded. Kirishima proved Shoto could lose in the first event he would beat him again to prove to everyone Eijiro Krishima had arrived. He had stopped to listen to Midoriya and Hatsume's conversation 'So something happened. Does it have to do with that thing I saw him wearing? Good job man.' He left while those two were kissing as not to be caught spying.
'WELL FOLKS THAT LAST FIGHT WAS SOMETHING! NOW THAT THE STAGE HAS BEEN REPAIRED LET'S PUT OUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR THE UNBREAKABLE EIJIRO KIRISHIMA AND THE COOL HOTSHIT SHOTO TODOROKI!"
Every pro in the crowd sat on the edge of their seats as the two boys entered the ring. When Midnight yelled begin Todoroki sent a wave of ice hoping to finish it quickly but Kirishima hardened his arms and used One for All to smash it. Caught by surprise Todorki was wide open so Kriishima ran in to finish it only for Todoroki to send a wave of fire making him stop to harden his body.
"I told you I would win." Todoroki spoke in a cold tone as his next Ice attack froze Kirishima in place. The red headed boy was freaking out if he couldn't break out he would be disqualified. He was still hardened if he undid it, maybe he could move his fingers. It was a risk he would get hurt but a hero was expected to get hurt. Letting out his breath his hand returned to normal.
"Looks like I'm not getting out of this unscathed." Kirishima said as he perpared to flick with One for All. "SMASH!" His fingers stung and turned a dark red but the ice around him shattered. 'Not broken but I can't do that again.' Kirishima took a fighting position again. 'I have the ultimate shield. I can only do this once but if i push it maybe i can do it twice a day. Hopefully I won't need to. But I also possess an unbeatable spear. OK IT COMES TO THIS!' "RED RIOT UNBREAKABLE!"

"This is amazing! It's like an ice Endeavor is fighting All Might with a hardening Quirk!" James was on the edge of his seat quietly yelling at his computer. The one on one fights this year were amazing. There was Endeavor's son, a kid with an explosion quirk, an Iida probably Ingeniums brother, a mad inventor, a kid with a brainwashing quirk, and surprisingly enough that quirkless kid is in the quarter finals. The kid With the hardening quirk was pushing through the flames that Endeavor's son put out. The fire user seemed to be panicking 'I guess he thought no one would be able to handle his heat. Too bad if he kept a cool head he could have one.' Once the hardening kid got close enough he launched a super powered punch into the boys stomach sending him into the stadium wall.
"It's the quirkless kids turn. I wonder how he plans to counter the brainwasher."

UA STADIUM

'WELL THAT WAS ONE HOT MATCH WE WILL HAVE A TEN MINUTE BREAK AS THEY REPAIR THE RING SO IF YOU NEED TO USE THE RESTROOM I SUGGEST YOU DO IT NOW!"
Izuku sat in the food court enjoying a quick snack as he watched the end of the last match. 'Man I wish I was fighting that Iida kid. Using my suit on Shinso would be overkill.' Kirishima and Todorki did a number on the arena giving Izuku enough time to walk around. "Hey who do you think will win the next match?" "Who knows that kids played his hand it's kind of obvious if you answer him you'll be under his control. The quirkless kid probably knows that so he'll attack." Izuku overheard two spectators chatting as he walked towards the entrance to the student tunnels. 'Yeah kind of obvious. He reminds me of myself in a way. Maybe I could help him?'
'WELL FOLKS THE REPAIRS ARE DONE NOW LET'S PUT OUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR THE SILENT ASSASSIN HITOSHI SHINSO VS THE QUIRKLESS WONDER IZUKU MIDORIYA!"Both boys walked into the center of the ring and shook each other's hands. They then took a few steps back and waited for Midnight to tell them to begin.
"You know I know about your quirk. I won't be answering any of your questions or provocations." Izuku nonchalantly told the tired looking teen. "So let's skip all of that unnecessary business and fight. If you want to be a hero you must be confident in your combat abilities." The sleepy teen was taken aback. Shinso knew once his quirk was figured out it wouldn't work but he didn't put much thought into fighting he figured he could retreat and try another way. 'Guess my quirk is useless then.'
Unfortunately for Shinso the fight was over in seconds. Izuku came over to the edge of the ring and held out his hand. "What do you want? To pity me? To mock me for my useless villainous quirk like all the others?" Shinso was angry it was his one chance to get into the hero course and he lost.
"No, I want to help you. Your quirk would be great for hostage rescue and getting villains to give up without a fight, but if someone figures it out you need to be able to fight or have a backup plan. Don't beat yourself up, look around and see some of the heroes are praising you. Hell your class seems to view you as a hero." Shinso did look and he saw his class cheering for him and even some heroes were talking about him. He looked back at the one who beat him and smiled.
"Thanks. Next time you won't be so lucky though I will win next year and get in the hero course. You better be waiting for me there you hear!" A fire had been set alight in the sleepy teens eyes.
"WELL LOOK AT THAT MUMMY MAN! I CAN SEE A GREAT FRIENDSHIP FORMING THERE!" 'More like a rivalry.'

Mei was bouncing up and down 'He did it he's in the semi finals! Ok time to prepare the suit.' She activated the container it was in and had the mechanical arms pull off the outer armor making it easier to get into the inner frame. She had already connected Haro to the suit so it was time to give him access to the PA System. This entrance would be talked about for years to come. 'One final thing before Izu comes in.' She pulled up the code she had developed for a failsafe set the parameters and got it downloading on haro. 'Hopefully he won't need this. The protentional speed could be dangerous' so she gave it a minute timer. As she finished the update the door opened.
"Hey Mei is everything ready to go?" Izuku stood there in his under shirt and gym pants. He had pulled his hair back since his natural fluffy hair had a tendency to get caught on the inner frame of the helmet.
"Yup All systems are green. Haro has connected the comms to the PA system so when you go to make that speech everyone will hear it. I've also got something for your entrance that's sure to knock everyone's socks off." She flashed him her cheshire smile. Izuku stepped into the boots of the inner frame and started the sequence; the mechanical arms fitted the rest of it to his body and started on the outer armor. 'The verdant green and dark silver was a good choice.' As the arms finished Mei walked up to Izuku and pecked his check.

"IT'S FINALLY TIME FOR THE FIRST YEARS FINALS! NOW LET'S PUT OUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR… HARO HARO! TRACK 20:19 STARTING IN THREE TWO 0NE!" Present Mic and Azawia both looked at each other as the PA system was taken control of by this third party. Nedzu was cackling up a storm "Wow so this was their idea How will people react."

"For good luck. Now go show them what a hero is. Haro! Start it up and play track 20:19!" Izuku felt the armor come to life and as his helmet closed and the roof opened he heard the sound of a guitar playing. 'Well if that's what we are doing let's give them a show.' He lifted into the air giving Mei a thumbs up and shot up in the sky. "Haro you have the info I asked for? Correct?" An affirmative beep came over his comms and the rooster of class 1-A came up. "Ok show me Eijiro Kirishima strengths and weaknesses." A file opened on the red haired boy giving a quick summary of the boy's quirks Hardening/super power even showing his exam showing that he did break his arm first using super power. "Ok looks like his strength is new odd. Possible quirk evolution or a dormant quirk from his family? I'll look into it later. Most likely he can't use all of his strength without a major drawback. Good, I have an idea." He flew over the stadium a few times as the music played.

James sat stunned. Was UA under attack again? How did they get access to the speakers? The figure shot over the stadium again some spectators were panicking and heroes had taken up defensive positions. Was this person attacking because of the quirkless student? It all happened in a second the figure shot skywards, the music volume started to lower and they spoke.
"Testing , testing. Ah it's working. Please calm down, I'm no enemy, in fact I'm but a simple student." The figure started it's decent. James was blown away this is a student, what's their name? What's their quirk? Why do this? All those questions died when he saw the figure in frame now. They hovered there almost like an angel there was this release of energy given them wings.
'Sorry about that. I was a little too excited to show off my masterpiece. Let's get the pleasantries out of the way I am Izuku Midoriya." The metal face of the figure opened up to reveal Izuku's face. His hair was pulled back and he had a large smile. "Let me say this first of all. No I did not lie I am in fact quirkless. This suit I'm wearing was inspired by a pre quirk comic about a hero with no powers Iron Man. That comic combined with an old anime I watched has inspired me not to throw my dreams away. Today I show the world a person without a quirk can indeed be a hero. So to anyone watching without a quirk I say this `Follow your dreams! People will say you can't do not let them determine your fate. You will have to work harder than anyone else. You will have to study and work out more or even learn how to use a weapon. You might never be as popular as heroes like All Might but do not let that stop you. I believe in you but more than anything else you should believe in yourself! Now I have a match to win." And with that the Quirkless wonder landed.

UA Stadium

"UH THAT WAS SOMETHING WELL LET'S GET THIS STARTED SHALL WE!"
Kirishima looked at his opponent land with a soft sound of metal on stone. 'Man I don't feel right fighting him. He was dealt a shitty hand and he's winning. But if i don't go all out I won't be able to look him in the eye. Guess I got to wing it.' He walked over and extended his hand. "Great entrance man. I won't make it easy for you. I intend to win myself, so no hard feelings, ok?"
Izuku gripped Kirishima's hand and smiled back. "Thanks. Don't worry I won't blow your head off. I fixed the power regulators." His helmet closed and Kirishima and him took a step back.
The match began and they threw a few quick punches at each other. Kirisham wasn't even scratching the armor however Izuku couldn't break through His hardening. Kirishima swung a hardened left hook at Izukus head only to have his fist caught and he was flipped onto his back knocking the air out of his lungs. Izuku had raised his palm preparing a blast and spoke. "Yield." Kirishima rolled to the side and sprung back up on his feet. 'I can use 10% without breaking, let's hope it's enough.' He hardened his right arm and channeled ofa into it and punched at the same time Izuku threw his palm into strike the resulting blast knocked both of them back.
"Haro, Haro. Left palm repulsor 30% damaged. Still in acceptable range." Slight cracks could be seen on the repulsor. 'Nothing a little hard work can't fix. Was it the punch or explosion that caused it?' Shaking the dust off Izuku came in quick at a still dazed Kirishima with a close range repulsor strike with his right hand. Kirishima barely had enough time to harden before he was hit, sending him stumbling back. 'Those strikes are dangerous. Better use Full Cowl.' Kirishima hardened his whole body and started sparking. ' I can only use 7% without hurting myself. I can go up to 10 but I'll be sore tomorrow.' Kirishima sprung into action sending a punch into the metal body causing a small dent. 'Damn what the hell is that metal? I should have been able to break it with that.'
'Thank god for this alloy. What was it called um oh who cares. Looks like he's getting serious I should do the same.' Izuku's feet left the ground and he shot forward at Kirishima. "Oh shi…" Kirishima was stuck with the full force of Izuku's suit. 'Damn, damn, damn. If i don't do something he's going to push me out. What to do? Is there a weakness to the suit?' He forced as much of OfA into his legs as possible to get leverage. He could feel his leg muscles ripping from the force. 'If i don't stop this now I won't be able to walk. Shit.'
"You are good man. But if i've learned anything it's to push through your limits and go PLUS ULTRA! RED RIOT UNBREAKABLE!" Kirishima pushed his body once more he could feel his muscles scream as he pushed his hardening with One for All to its strongest point making him into an unmoving shield. He started delivering blows to Izuku and started to feel the metal crack. Izuku was in a bind, his suit was breaking under the constant blows. 'No not yet please hold out a little longer, I just need a little more power.' He pulled back to get some distance. 'Wait he's not following? Did he push too far?'
"Haro. Haro. Suit stability at 60% do you wish to continue?" Izuku wouldn't surrender so easily. "Yes!" His head piece came to life saying 'do you wish to activate Hatume protocol?' He chose yes. Another message came up. "Izu this isn't tested the suit will lose all limiters you'll hit harder and move faster. I don't know what caused you to use this but I hope it's worth it. You'll have one minute till the suit shuts down any longer and it might damage your body heck you'll probably dame it just with one minute of use. Please be safe. Love Mei." Izuku smiled and prepared to end it. 'Mei I'll end this now. You don't have to worry.'
The next minute was talked about for months to come. Izuku's reactor and GN cables in the suit glowed a soft red turning his suit a reddish pink. He moved forward at such speeds people said he vanished. Kirishima pulled his fist back for a punch and Izuku did the same. The shockwave that occurred sent cracks all through the arena. Kirishima's arm was a dark purple, he could feel his bones crack and break. Izuku's right arm was unusable so he used his left arm to deliver the next blow Breaking the arm as well but also breaking through Kirishima's defense. Kirishima threw his non-broken arm into Izuku's chest, cracking the center but also damaging his arm as well but nowhere near as bad as before. They both stood there panting.
"Man I don't think we have much left. Let's make a deal dude. Whoever is standing after the next hit wins what do ya say?" Kirishima spoke through deep breaths.
"Yeah I don't have much time left so I agree. Next punch decides it." Izuku responded. Both student's charged forward and threw their last punch.

AN: Last fight scene for the next few chapters. Who do you think won? This is more of a proto trans-am not fully usable with the suit which is why the attacks damaged the suit.
