Dragon of the Academia-15

"How is she doing?" All Might asked, coming into Recovery Girl's office, looking at Athena whose medical bed was beside Uraraka's, as said brunet was sitting on the side of it, looking at Athena with a look of concern.

"She'll be fine. She's just lost a lot of blood. I've managed to seal the wound under her new arm, to where it's not filling up with blood. But she should be fine to participate in the semifinals when she regains consciousness, she's just needing lots of water, and a lot of food." Recovery Girl said. "She certainly put her all into that fight, didn't she?"

"She did. She even saved Young Todoroki from himself, by forcing him to use his flames, and she still came out on top." All Might said.

"Yes, she truly wished to help him, overcome his obstacles." Recovery Girl said.

"Excuse me."

All Might and Recovery Girl, turned to the door, to see Todoroki standing at the door, in a new tracksuit top.

"I came by to see how Athena is doing." Todoroki said.

"Ah, yes Young Todoroki. She's doing fine, Recovery Girl just informed me of her condition. She just needs a bit of rest before the Semifinals." All Might said. "You're really lucky to have been up against her. If it had been anyone else, I don't think they would had tried as hard to get you to use your flames. Well, maybe Young Midoriya, but that's a given."

"She said something about my father making her an offer. What was it I wonder?" Todoroki inquired.

"He offered… to arrange a marriage for us at graduation…"

The trio turned to Athena, and saw she was forcing herself to sit up, and swinging her legs around to the edge of the bed, with Uraraka getting up to make sure she was steady.

"Hey easy there now." Uraraka said.

"So, he offered to arrange a Quirk Marriage?" Todoroki questioned. "An' you told him to shove it?"

"Yeah. No offense to you Todoroki, but I'm not into guys, at least not just guys." Athena chuckled. "So in this case, it actually is me, not you."

"I wouldn't have agreed to the marriage either." Todoroki said, before his eyes landed on her arm. "Your arm, does it…?"

"It hurts, but only a little. Looks like I've had enough stamina left for Recovery Girl to do her thing." Athena said, flexing it. "At least now my arms and legs match entirely."

"Always looking to the positive of things. You really do act a lot like All Might." Recovery Girl sighed.

"Oh yeah, All Might, you'll never believe what Todoroki asked Izuku and I at lunch." Athena smiled.

"Oh? What did he ask you?" All Might asked.

"He noticed our powers seemed similar to yours, and asked us if we were your secret love children."

"Ahahahahahaha." All Might let out a boisterous laugh. "Oh that is funny."

"It just seemed logical since they have strength similar to yours." Todoroki said.

"Listen Young Todoroki. Yes their powers are similar to mine. But that's all. Neither Young Xiao Long, nor Young Midoriya are related to me. There are plenty of people out there, with Quirks who are similar to each other's, but none of them are related. In this case, it's me, Young Midoriya, and Young Xiao Long. So don't go questioning students like that, cause it might cause some problems." All Might exclaimed.

"I understand." Todoroki said.

"Now, Young Uraraka." All Might addressed. "If you're feeling well enough to move around, then I'd suggest you get ready for the next fight."

"Right." Uraraka said. "Thanks for everything Recovery Girl."

~Final Fight~

"Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time for the fight, you've all been waiting for." Present Mic called out. "Welcome, to the final match of the Finals Tournament. In this fight, the opponents will be, the Goddess of War herself, the machine who never gives up, Athena Xiao Long, versus, the boy who should be known as Ares, the God of War, Izuku Midoriya."

"I like how you compared them to the Greek Deity Siblings of War, as these two actually are as close as brother and sister, with Athena having lived in the Midoriya household for about a year." Yang said as Athena and Midoriya stood across from each other, in the arena.

"Now please put your hands together, as the fight will begin in three…" Midnight called out.

"What you say Izuku, usual stakes?"

"Two…"

"Loser buys the winner a pizza dinner?" Midoriya questioned.

"One…"

"Plus as much soda as their allowance will allow for the next week." Athena smiled.

"You're on."

"Begin."

The instant those words were spoken, Athena disappeared in a flash of violet and light blue lightning as her scales turned an electric blue, focusing all her power into the one element. Midoriya chose to do the same, and though he wasn't as fast as his sister, Midoriya was still able to track her movements, if barely, until the two collided, with Athena interlocking their hands. After a moment of pushing back against each other, both of them equally matched, using 10% of their respective One-for-All, Athena kneed her brother in the gut, and grabbed Midoriya by his right forearm with her left hand, and before she began spinning around, slamming him into the ground.

"Give up bro, we know each other's fighting styles, and you won't win." Athena said walking around Midoriya. "You've never beaten me in any sparring matches we've had since we started our dual training together."

"Not a chance Athena. I'm not backing down, not until my last breath." Midoriya exclaimed getting up.

"Suit yourself." Athena stated.

Athena took the opportunity of Midoriya's disorientated disposition to spin around, and deliver a reverse roundhouse kick to Midoriya's head, sending him skidding to the side of the arena, before he stopped, regained his bearings, and charged directly at Athena, wanting to end this match, with him victorious.

Midoriya moved to perform a leg sweep. Athena anticipated this, and jumped high into the air, dodging the attack and flipped back on her hands, then back on her feet, before jumping forward. She used Midoriya's head like she was flipping over a springboard, and pulled him back, slamming the back of Midoriya's head into the ground, before he quickly picked himself up and wrapped his arms around Athena's waist.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Athena questioned.

"Saw your mom perform this move on the news once. Thought I'd give it a try." Midoriya smiled throwing himself up, arching through the air, and slamming Athena upside down on the ground.

The crowd was silent as the cloud of cement dust cleared, revealing Athena had stopped the impact, by covering her forearms in metal and using them to hold herself up, causing Midoriya to be the only one to feel any sort of painful impact.

"That was a close one. Almost had me Izuku." Athena stated, wrapping her legs around Midoriya's waist. "But I've been training to avoid moves like the Suplex."

Using her upper and lower body, Athena managed to keep her grip on Midoriya's waist, as she arched Midoriya through the air, and slammed him face first into the concrete knocking the greenette out of it, before he could cover his head in metal again. With the victory hers Athena planted a foot on Midoriya's back, and raised her arm into the air, in triumph.

"Athena Xiao Long wins by knock out." Midnight called the match. "Izuku Midoriya has been defeated, making Athena the winner."

"An' with that the final match is officially over. The First Year champion of the U.A Sports Festival, is Athena Xiao Long, from Class 1-A." Present Mic called announced. "But don't go anywhere yet folks, you're gonna be in for a treat in the next fifteen minutes or so."

Athena pumped her fists into the air, and cheered. She didn't even care that her nubs were hurting at that point, she was just happy to have won. She knelt down next to Midoriya and patted his cheek, bringing her brother back to the world of the living, as he woke up.

"Izuku, c'mon, it's time to get a move on. The exhibition match is about to begin, and it can't start with you napping here." Athena exclaimed.

"Ugh, I'm up, I'm up." Midoriya groaned sitting up. "Well, there goes the money I've been saving for the new All Might action figure."

"Relax bro, I won't make you buy me that much soda." Athena laughed. "I gotta get ready for the exhibition match. I'll catch you later."

After leaving, Cementous used his Quirk to turn the entire stadium field into a battle ground for the exhibition match, by making the entire surface a concrete floor.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to the Exhibition Match of the First Years, Sports Festival." Present Mic exclaimed. "Now some of you might have heard that this is a fight between one of our First Year Hero Course students, and a pro hero of their choosing. Well that's how it was supposed to be, but things have changed. Now, it will be a four person Battle Royale. Now let's introduce, two of our three fighters. These two are in trouble with the school, for illegal, and villainous Quirk usage. But a deal has been made with them. If they can beat their opponent, by either subduing or forcing her to say, she quits, then they'll get to maintain their place in the Hero Course. However, if neither of them beats her, then they will be tried and judged as villains, and sent to Tartarus Prison, and to make things fair, we've allowed them to put on their hero gear. Please welcome, Katsuki Bakugo, and Neito Monoma."

The entire crowd began booing and throwing their popcorn and sodas at Bakugo and Monoma as they came out of the arena, fully dressed in their hero costumes, and fully healed from their injuries.

"Oh shut up, before I blow you away." Bakugo shouted. "I'm gonna prove to you all, that I'm the best, right here against whichever weakling I'm supposed to kill."

"There will be no killing Bakugo." Yang said, her voice echoing through the PA.

"Of course this is the behavior of an uncivilized 1-A mutt. The superior Class-B will prove victorious today." Monoma sighed, still thinking he was all that.

"Now, we've been told that the third fighter has already been chosen, and he's already signed a waver agreeing to a wager made on the fight. Please welcome, Endeavor." Present Mic said.

From a separate tunnel, came out the walking match stick, not at all looking pleased to have to do this, but was being forced to, unless he wanted the recording of his threat to Athena to be made public knowledge.

"An' finally, please help me welcome to the area, the Goddess of War, Athena." Yang announced.

Athena stepped out from the fourth tunnel, dressed in her hero costume, which looked a lot different than it had before. Athena's hero costume now consisted of a new design. She'd really gone and taken inspiration from her mom's old attire when it came to her costume, like Midoriya suggested, and she made it look good. An' with her limbs being made of gemstone, it certainly made her look more fearsome and intimidating, especially with the scar over the right side of her face.

Going from the top down, the small rope of hair that hadn't been cut, was braided tightly, with help from Mina, and had a gemstone hair tie at the end. Her top had been changed, consisting of a black and red trimmed breast band, with an open front leather vest with a similar design to an AL2857 halter top, with her vambraces and weapons still remaining the same, with the chains still connected and going up her arms. For the bottom portion she wore, a black leather belt with a red pleated piece of leather going from hip to hip, over a pair of black mini-shorts. The stockings were gone, leaving her legs exposed, minus the handkerchief around her right thigh like a garter belt, with her martial arts slippers, being replaced with what looked like a pair of women's Harley Davidson strapped boots.

"We have to beat the Slut?" Bakugo questioned, before he smirked. "Piece of cake. They might as well drop the charges on me now."

"I agree, it does seem like this is gonna be an unfair fight, for her that is." Monoma smiled, copying Bakugo's Quirk.

"This a waste of my time. Let's just get this over with." Endeavor said.

"It's time for a DEATH BATTLE." A new, gruff voice called out.

"Who the hell are you two, and how did you get into the announcers booth?" Yang questioned, revealing there were two new comers to the booth, as a holographic projection of two men, one looking like a stereotypical American Red Neck with an overweight body, and the other a tall thin man, wearing a lab coat, with a robotic left arm.

"Whoa, whoa, easy now." The second man said. "Relax, we're friends of Mic's."

"I called them here for a commentary after the fight." Mic said.

"It's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills, to find out who would win, a death battle." The second man said.

"He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick. An' today, we're gonna be determining how and why the winner of this fight, is who it is, in this match up."

"We've already compiled the data, and ran it through countless scenarios, and have come to the conclusion of who would win. But we'll save that for when we've seen the fight play through." Wiz said. "However, due to this being a school for heroes, and three of the combatants are students, it's not gonna be an actual death battle, just a battle royale of whoever's left standing."

"What? That's no fun. It's fun to run the simulations of who would be able to kill who." Boomstick said.

"I've seen their animated simulations, they are fun to watch." Mic said.

"True, but remember, this is a school for heroes. Now the rules for this battle are simple. The entire stadium is the battle field. There are no ring outs. But there will be a clear and definite winner if all the other fighters are either knocked out, concede, or can't move but are still conscious." Wiz said.

"Now begin." Present Mic called out.

(Cue Music… Slingshot: Trocadero, David Levy, Meredith Hagan)

As soon as Mic called out for the battle to start, Bakugo went flying at Athena with his explosions, keeping him up in the air, and was instantly behind and above her, planning on blowing her up from behind. When he thrust his arm forward, Athena moved her head to the side, and grabbed Bakugo by his gauntlet before jumping up and planting her feet on his back, before she kicked off him, sending him down to the ground.

While still in the air, Athena turned to Monoma, who was using Bakugo's Quirk to use a similar tactic when he came flying at her.

Using the chain on her right arm, Athena wrapped it around Bakugo, and pulled him up, using the momentum to bring her to the ground, while also bringing Bakugo in her place to take Monoma's attack for her.

"Grrrrr, you're dead next copycat." Bakugo growled, as Monoma's explosion went off in his face.

Sliding back on the ground as she landed, Athena immediately had to jump up, performing a handstand on Endeavor's shoulders as he tried to grab her from behind. Athena swung her body down, and slammed her feet into Endeavor's back, sending him forward wrapping both her chains wrapping around Endeavor's arms, as she controlled him like a puppet, forcing him to clothes line both Monoma and Bakugo as she released him from her chains, forcing them all to fall over.

"C'mon boys, I thought you'd at least give me a challenge." Athena said, cracking her neck. "This is getting kinda boring. I'm thinking I should have picked something else as the exhibition event."

"Don't get cocky brat." Endeavor said, getting up, and running at her, flames covering his fists as he swung them at her, each strike not landing, as she kept dodging the swings, before she twisted around, grabbing one of his wrists as he swung at her again, and twisted him around, devouring the flames covering his fists.

"Damn, your flames are nasty." Athena said, kicking one of Endeavor's legs out from under him, before slamming his face into the ground, while holding his arm behind his back.

Pulling on Endeavor's arm, Athena was sent back, by an explosion hitting her in the side of the head, knocking her to the ground, with smoke rising from where her head was, as Bakugo smirked, thinking he's won. But his smirk disappeared when Athena stood up, and cracked her next, wiping the blood Katsuki managed to spill.

"Damn it, I didn't blow her fucking head off." Katsuki growled.

After readjusting her sight, and looking towards her opponents, Athena disappeared in a flash of violet lightning, and was behind Katsuki in a moment.

"Behind you." Monoma shouted.

Katsuki turned around, only for him to experience Athena's leg slamming into his stomach, instead of his side, sending him flying to the other side of the arena.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for your protection, we will be closing the shutters to the arena, and projecting the fight on them through holographic technology." Wiz said as the shutters closed.

Athena jumped back from an attack coming from Monoma, as his time with Katsuki's Quirk ended, and went for Endeavor's, blasting a large amount of flames at her.

"Wait don't you idiot." Endeavor shouted as Monoma's flames enveloped Athena, into a large bonfire.

"Heh, there that wasn't so hard. I don't know why you were having such a hard time with her, when it's obvious she's terrified of fire given how she wasn't moving when I sent that attack at her." Monoma said proudly.

"You dumbass, she let your attack hit her." Endeavor said, grabbing Monoma by the front of his suit. "Do you even know what her power grants her?"

"N-no, but it's not anything special is it?" Monoma questioned.

"Wrong. Her power, One-for-All, allows her to consume and convert any element, into energy she eats. It also grants her immunity to it." Katsuki said, coming to them.

"So, you just gave her a power boost, you dumbass." Endeavor said, throwing Monoma to the ground.

Endeavor and Katsuki's attention was drawn to the flames as a loud roar was let loose from the center of the flames, before they began to implode, revealing a large jungle cat, with white and violet bone plating armor, and long tusk like fangs sprouting from the front of its mouth.

"What the hell is that?" Monoma questioned, getting back to his feet.

"That is a creature of Grimm." Katsuki said. "It also happens to be the Slut's portion of her Quirk that allows her to turn into any animal, or beast, she can think of. She's not limited to the natural animal kingdom."

"So…"

"We need to…"

"Stand our ground." Katsuki said. "I'm not scared."

Katsuki went charging at Athena with a battle cry, aiming his right arm at her, and pulling the pin on his gauntlet, letting off an explosion that sent Athena flying back, and knocking her back to her human form.

(End Song…)

"Did you get her?" Monoma questioned.

"Ow, that hurt." Athena groaned, forcing herself to her feet, before Katsuki used his blasts to send himself flying into her, slamming her deeper into the wall as his feet were buried in her stomach.

Grabbing her by the hair with his left hand, Katsuki pulled the pin on his gauntlet, letting the explosion off, at point blank range, and was sent flying back from his own attack.

"There, now the bitch is dead." Katsuki smirked, landing on his feet. "Good riddance to her I say."

"Ow, damn it Bakugo, now I might need a chiropractor…" Athena said, looking forward and opening her eyes, only for them to spot a lock of her hair falling through the air and to the ground. Looking up, Athena saw a few more strands in Bakugo's hand, and everything turned red.

"Oh boy." Yang said. "Folks I shall warn you of something. The women of my family's bloodline tend to be a little sensitive about our hair, and who can touch it. So if something like this were to happen, you'd best pray for your soul."

(Cue Music… I Burn {E}: RWBY)

"Oh great, you've gone and done it now." Endeavor said, looking to Bakugo angrily.

"Doesn't matter, the stupid Slut still doesn't stand a chance against me, no matter how pissed she gets." Bakugo said.

Athena let out a loud cry of anger, as she slammed her fists together, igniting the black flames in her eyes, and all around her, before she went charging at Bakugo, faster than he could perceive her and sent him flying into the air, with an upper cut to his jaw, and was behind Monoma, sending him flying to the wall she'd just been against, with a kick to the back.

Endeavor jumped away from her, using his flames to keep away from her, as he saw the primal look in her eye when she sent Bakugo flying into the air. He was not wanting a piece of that. His escape attempts however were futile as Athena was on him in a matter of seconds, before she slammed her fist into his face, and sent him into the ground, forming a deep crater in the concrete, keeping Endeavor disoriented.

Swinging her left arm to the side, and unleashing the chain, Athena wrapped it around Monoma's waist, just as she swung her right arm into the air, allowing the other chain to wrap around Katsuki's waist as he came falling down.

Swinging her arms around, and using her dance moves, Athena slammed Monoma and Katsuki into the ground and walls, creating rubble that added more damage to them, while also decorating the ground in boulders of all different sizes and shapes, made from the concrete of the walls and floor.

Swinging her arms forward, Athena slammed her hands together, resulting in a battered and bloodied Monoma and Bakugo slamming into each other, both unconscious.

Swerving her body to the side, Athena dodged a strike Endeavor was trying to make from behind, and cartwheeled back, kicking him in the face, before flipping forward, swinging her arms at him, thus throwing the two catatonic boys into the 35th place hero, forcing him to skid back as he caught them in his arms.

Athena didn't stop there, as she wrapped part of the remaining length of chain around Endeavor, and began spinning around, dragging him with her, before she threw him, and the two unconscious boys up in the air. Jumping high with One-for-All, Athena slammed her fist in a downward strike into Endeavor's stomach, using her built up kinetic energy from all the damage she took, thus causing him to lose his breath, but he still held tight to Katsuki and Monoma, even as he landed in the ground, causing the crater to become deeper, before Athena landed at the edge of it, and walking in.

(End Song…)

Endeavor, slowly sat up on his knees, setting Katsuki and Monoma down while trying to not make their injuries any worse.

"So you do have a heart, huh Endeavor." Athena said stepping up to him.

"Do what you must to me. I know my son told you how I treated him, and his mother." Endeavor said. "But leave these two alone, they've had enough."

"I agree, they have had enough punishment, for now at least." Athena said. "An' you're correct. Todoroki did tell me all about how poorly you treated him and Rei. Yet for some reason, Rei can't seem to get her mind off you."

"You know my wife?" Endeavor questioned, barely able to keep himself conscious.

"I visit her at least once a week, have been for the last six years since I got this scar." Athena said, tapping the scar over her face. "You should have seen her when I showed up two weeks ago, with my artificial arms. She worried over me, so badly, that I swear she almost sounded like she was mothering me."

"That does sound like my wife." Endeavor said with a chuckle, before he frowned. "I know it doesn't seem like I love my wife, and you probably won't believe me when I tell you this, but there was a time, when we truly loved each other, and she did love me, as she gave me children, up until Shoto was born."

"That is hard to believe, given what your son told me." Athena said.

"Did he also tell you, that it all started going downhill, when his oldest sibling, Toya, had died from spontaneous combustion?" Endeavor questioned. "When Shoto was first born, I had four children. Toya, Fuyumi, Natsuo, and Shoto. Toya, was my oldest and, his power far surpassed my own, even at a young age. So I started training him to use his power. But there was a problem with him. His body, wasn't suited for his Quirk. He might have been born with my hellfire Quirk, but his body was suited more for his mother's ice Quirk. One day when I was training him to better control it, we had argued, and his flames consumed him."

Athena could hear the remorse in his voice, when he spoke of Toya. She could honestly say, that sitting right in front of her, was a humble man, when hearing his story.

"So I pushed Shoto, I pushed him past his limits, because I didn't want him, to end up like Toya." Endeavor said. "I might have lost my morals along the way, but I have always loved my children."

'He's being honest. I can see that much with the look in his eyes.' Athena thought. "None of that matters right now. Yield."

"I will never give up the fight." Endeavor said.

Athena sighed, before taking in a deep breath. Focusing her Maiden powers, the wind around the colosseum began to pick up before all the rocks and debri began to spin around, with Athena standing intimidatingly over Endeavor. From his point of view, all he could see was a cylindrical pillar of raw power shooting directly into the air, with her silhouette barely visible through it.

"Yield." Athena repeated.

Endeavor knew when he was out matched, and could see that Athena's power, far surpassed his own.

"I… yield." Endeavor said begrudgingly, having a hard time believing he was bested by a first year student.

"That's it, Athena Xiao Long wins the Exhibition Match." Mic calls out.

"Now that was certainly exciting." Boomstick said.

"Indeed it was. Athena's superior speed, strength, and natural power in general made her quite the force to be reckoned with. Even the Pro Hero Endeavor, was powerless against her true might." Wiz said.

"But… how?" Boomstick asked.

"Would you like to explain Golden Huntress?" Wiz asked.

"Certainly." Yang said. "Even though Endeavor had her outclassed in experience and strategic smarts, Athena's power, One-for-All, is comprised of five different Quirks stemming from her heritage. Dark Maiden, After Burn, Shadow Clone, Etherion Dragonslayer, and Menagerie. Etherion Dragonslayer grants Athena strength that is on par with All Might's, maybe one day, it could even surpass his entirely. If her limbs had still been made of flesh and bone, she'd only be able to handle twenty percent of that power, before she'd break her own body from the backlash, like she had in the second round of the finals. But with her limbs being made of gemstones, Athena can harness 100% of her full strength without suffering said drawbacks. However, Athena does have her limits on Menagerie. She can't stay an animal for too long, otherwise she'll be stuck like that, or at least without her anchor to keep her attached to her mental, human state."

"Now, given that her Dragonslayer Quirk grants her the ability to replenish her power at any given time, just from consuming one of the elements she's able to control, she could have continued on, and just let her three opponents tire themselves out. Which is also why Katsuki Bakugo's explosions had no effect on her, explosions have fire, and she's immune to fire, so all he really did, was piss her off, and boy she got mad when Bakugo messed with her hair." Boomstick said.

"Indeed. But now that we've got that all taken care of and settled, let's get to the award ceremony." Wiz said.

After gathering with the rest of the students, Athena, Midoriya, Uraraka, and Tokoyami, were called to come to separate locations, where they stood on the platforms for the rankings of the winners, with Uraraka and Tokoyami both sharing third place.

"The first year students have completed all of the events for the U.A Sports Festival. Now it's time to relax and enjoy the award ceremony." Midnight announced to the audience and students gathered.

As if practiced dozens of times over, fireworks went off, confetti went flying everywhere, as three platforms rose from the ground, with Athena standing on the tallest one, Kirishima on the shortest platform, and Midoriya on the middle height platform.

"Too bad Iida couldn't be here to see this. He was rooting for Athena the entire way." Tsu exclaimed.

"Yeah, it is a shame. But he did leave for family reasons, I wonder what they were." Jiro exclaimed. "Golden Huntress might have a clue as to what that is."

"Mhmm." Tsu nodded her head.

"Now let's break out the hardware. Of course there's only one person worthy of distributing the awards." Midnight exclaimed.

"Hahahahaha. I am here, to distribute your awards." All Might called jumping from the arena's roof. Midoriya had actually managed to clamp Midnight's mouth shut before she could say anything else that might ruin All Might's entry.

"So now that you're here All Might, why don't you start the presentation?" Midnight suggested.

"Haha, Young Tokoyami, and Uraraka congratulations. You both showed great strength and honor out there." All Might said, giving Tokoyami and Uraraka both third place medals.

"You're an inspiration to me sir." Tokoyami smiled.

"Thanks All Might." Uraraka cheered.

"However, you've more training to do if you're gonna be able to fight against different kinds of villains." All Might said, giving him a hug and a pat on the back. "Your Quirk will only get you so far in battle."

"Yes sir." Tokoyami said, clutching his third place medal, and looking down at it.

"Young Midoriya, congratulations." All Might said, putting the second place medal on Midoriya. "I'm assuming there's a reason you chose to hold back against Athena. Not wanting to hurt her by mistake were you?"

"No, I knew she could handle my full power even with her adjusting to her new arm, but… I just can't bring myself to use it on family." Midoriya stated.

"I understand. You don't like hurting family, you'd rather keep them safe." All Might said in understanding.

"Yeah." Midoriya nodded.

"An' now young Xiao Long." All Might said, only to stop, seeing that Athena was standing upright, snoring away like she had fallen asleep to the most calming lullaby she'd ever heard. "Wow, exerting that amount of energy in only one day, seems to have drained her extremely. I'll just put this on her and let her sleep." All Might exclaimed, putting the first place medal around Athena's neck. "Here they are. The winners of this year's sports festival. But listen closely. Any of your first years could have ended up standing on these podiums. Think about what you've done today. You've challenged each other, learned, and climbed even closer toward your goals of being pro's. I think the next generation of heroes is proving to be our next promising one yet." All Might declared. "So I have one more thing to say. I want to hear everyone yell it with me, you know what it is. Thanks everyone for your hard work." He called out, while the crowd cheered Plus Ultra.

After that, everyone began booing and yelling at All Might about that being the perfect moment to scream, Plus Ultra, instead of what he said. In retaliation he said that everyone had done such a good job.

~That Evening in Class 1-A~

"Nice work everyone." Yang smiled with a thumbs up. "You have the next two days of school off to recuperate and lick your wounds. I'm sure the Pros who watched the festival will want to recruit quite a few of you. The school will look over the draft forms, and update you when you return. Get some rest everyone, you still have training to do. Class dismissed."

Athena slowly got up from her seat, and was about to leave with everyone, before she was stopped by Yang, who asked her to stay behind.

"What's up mom?" Athena asked.

"I've already made the arrangements needed for our guest's stay. Do you think you're awake enough to meet up with her and bring her home before you head home?" Yang asked.

"If I get some caffeine then sure." Athena yawned. "I'll go get her."

"Don't forget, we'll be having a welcoming party for her tomorrow, so I want you to spend the day taking her shopping around the mall." Yang said.

"I got it, don't worry." Athena said, exiting the door.

~U.A Loading Bay~

The crisp night air was cool against Katsuki Bakugo's skin, as he and Monoma, were lead away by chains and restraints that kept them close to the police, who were escorting them into the S.W.A.T van. He had spent the last few hours in Recovery Girl's office, sleeping off the fatigue of his injuries healing up, which soaked up his stamina like a sponge.

Looking to the side, Katsuki could see his parents, looking at him, with disappointment in their eyes, and tear stained faces, as they were being comforted by Inko Midoriya and Blake Belladonna Xiao Long.

It angered him how his parents had been good friends with Athena's parents. Ever since she came to town, all attention has been on her, and her amazing power, leaving Bakugo in the dust, begging for scraps of attention.

"Tch, that Slut isn't powerful. All she does is use cheap tricks to make people think she's powerful. I'm the only one at this school with any real power." Katsuki said.

"Who are you trying to fool Bakugo?" Monoma questioned. "You and I both know that slut's power is strong enough to surpass Endeavor's, probably even All Might's."

"That is not true." Katsuki practically shouted, turning to look Monoma dead in the eye. "No one, is stronger than me. I could have killed her in that exhibition match, if you and that pansy Endeavor hadn't gotten in my way."

"No, you wouldn't have." Bakugo and Monoma turned to look at who spoke, and saw the hero that would be escorting them with the police to prison, All Might. "Athena is far stronger than either of you. I'm sorry, but that's the reality of it."

"No that can't be true. No one is stronger than me. No one." Bakugo said, struggling in his restraints. "All Might, tell me. Am I still able to become a hero?"

All Might was quiet, before he got up and stepped forward, towards Bakugo.

"No." All Might said without hesitation, or reluctance. "Someone like you Bakugo, who prioritizes power, over anything else, can never become a hero. Especially, if they're someone, who's encouraged suicide in others." His glare went to Monoma as he said that, having a pretty good idea of what gave him his kicks. "Neither of you, are worthy of becoming heroes. That's just the truth of the matter."

With that All Might returned to his seat as Bakugo and Monoma were chained down to the benches, both of them, looking as though they had just died, and their souls, weren't ever coming back, as they prepared, to face their new lives, in Tartarus Prison.

"Alright, thank you Shigi, and yes please be sure to have Kurogiri bring them here. They'll be such a nice addition to the team." Joker said, before hanging up the phone. "Clearly, the trauma you inflicted upon that girl, at the USJ wasn't enough to actually break her." Joker said, fixing himself a drink behind the bar counter.

"So, what do you suggest we do about it Joker? It's obvious that she's stronger than ever now, with having beaten three opponents at once, one of which a Pro Hero, in a fisticuffs fight." Shigaraki said.

"Not to worry, I'll be sure to bring her down to our level, all in due time, it'll just take a bit of patience. For now, just focus on gaining new recruits. I think Hero Killer Stain, might be a good addition to our ranks, wouldn't you say, my boy?"

"I do believe he could be a benefit to our cause. But how exactly, do you plan on bringing that brat to our side? She's indomitable, not even Master could bring her to our side, even with mind control." Shigaraki asked.

"Oh that is quite simple my boy, quite simple indeed. Madness, as you know my dear Tomura, is like gravity, all it takes, is a little, push." Joker smiled, before he began to laugh.
