Staring at the field, Blast began to think, while asserting.
" Universe 3 is the only one not to have lost a single limb! However, it is not the most dangerous! Universe 11 is still the most dangerous. "
Scratching his chin, he asked.
" What should I do ? "
" Hey you ! "
" Hum? "
Turning around, Blast was punched in the jaw, knocking him off the rock he was in.
Falling to the ground, he moaned in pain, as Kirishima stood in front of him.
" I've got you. " Said the boy. " Are you from universe 2? "
" 4. " Blast retorted, standing up.
" Not matter. " Kirishima cried, hardening the skin on his arm. " I will fight you. "
At that moment, Kirishima attacked Blast for the sole purpose of seeing his power. He wanted to know if Blast had power based on offense or defense. Blast hadn't fought anyone until now. Because of this, he was possibly the secret weapon of Universe 4.
Yet, to his surprise, he punched Blast in the face again, knocking him to the ground again.
" AHHHHHHH! " He cried, moaning in pain.
" What ? " Kirishima wondered. " But he's nothing special, this guy! Once again ! "
No sooner did Blast get up than Kirishima hit him again. Falling a further fosi to the ground, Kirishima remained skeptical for a few seconds.
" What is that ? In the end, I had no reason to be afraid of you! If you haven't fought so far it's just because you're not very good! Getting you off the field will be very easy. "
Staring at Kirishima, Blast noticed.
"Kirishima from Universe 12! its power is to harden its skin, granting it great defensive power! However, his power does not interest me! I can find better! "
Suddenly, Blast started to flee.
" Hey, come back. "
Creating an ice shield, Shoto tried to shield himself from a tornado that Zoire had just created. However, the impact of the tornado managed to destroy much of the protection, forcing Shoto to use more energy to consolidate it.
"Damn it! I didn't think these guys were so powerful."
"You were wrong to underestimate us." Kettle asserted, as he stood on a rock.
Looking at him, Shoto got scared when he saw hundreds of energy balls around the hero which he hurried to throw in the direction of the teenager.
"Try to stop it."
" AP MACHINE-GUN! "
Firing explosions, like projectiles from a submachine gun, Bakugo struck each of Kettle's attacks, destroying them. Then, using his explosions as thrusters, he rushed towards Kettle, while preparing to strike him.
" HOWITZER IMPACT! "
However, Tupper positioned himself in front of him and took the attack instead of his comrade.
"What is he doing?" Bakugo wondered.
Seeing Tupper's face come out of the smoke, the teenager was surprised to see him unharmed, as he had just transformed. Tupper's body was now covered with a rock substance.
"What is this again?"
"The beginning of the end for you."
Gripping Bakugo, he then dropped to the ground.
" BEAR HUG! "
Then, increasing his weight, he threw Bakugo to the ground before crushing him. Crying out in pain, the poor boy felt as if he felt his bones crack.
"And here to finish you." Cried Tupper, raising his fist in the air.
" TEXAS SMASH! "
Midoriya's fist hit her face, forcing her to pull away from Bakugo.
" Deku ? " The latter wondered, seeing him position himself in front of him.
" Even if they are less strong than Jiren, we should not underestimate them. " Affirm Midoriya. " Let's team up to defeat them. "
" As if you had a chance to defeat me. " Cried Tupper.
Rolling, he began to quickly increase his rotation speed, before rushing towards Midoriya.
" I am going to defeat you. "
" DETROIT SMASH ! "
Striking Tupper, Midoriya managed to stop his advance for a few seconds. However, managing to keep rolling, Tupper ends up forcing him to back up.
" You will never have the strength to stop me. "
" ONE FOR ALL ! " Cried Deku. " 125% ! "
Feeling an increase in his power, Tupper ends up being thrown backwards, before crashing into a rock.
" Waouh! " Said Kettle. " That was power. "
However, hearing a strange noise, Midoriya saw Tupper still turning. Raising his speed to maximum, he then rushed towards him.
" Try to stop this to see. "
" DEKU! "
Staying still, Midoriya let Tupper get closer to him. Then, using Mirio's power, he let Bakugo cross his body to position himself in front of Tupper. Using his explosions, he hit the ground and created a crater, not being able to stop, Tupper found himself in it and eventually lifted himself into the sky, feeling there.
" What ? "
" St LOUIS SMASH ! "
Taking advantage of him being in the air, Midoriya was in front of him and punched him in the abdomen. Having no balance, Tupper landed the attack and stopped spinning before falling to the ground.
" Little runt. " Kettle cried, throwing a ki-blast at him.
" WALL OF FLAMES ! "
Flames positioned themselves in front of Kettle, stopping his attack.
" Don't even think about it. " Shoto asserted.
" Hey, kid! I am your opponent. " Zoire roared, flying towards him.
Hitting him, Zoire was surprised to strike only a statue of ice, which shattered on contact with his fist.
" What ? "
Suddenly, an electric shock hit him, while Shoto was now behind him.
" Do not worry ! I never let my guard down during a fight. "
This time Kettle aimed his attacks at Shoto, but before he could throw them, he felt an explosion touch his face, while Bakugo enjoyed hitting him.
" On target. "
" Great. " Cried Agu, seeing them do it. " Even at three, their teamwork is perfect! If they continue they will beat them. "
A laugh was heard next to them.
" These kids? Defeat the Pride Troopers? " Belmod wondered, before laughing. " No, but you are dreaming! Even though these three are much less powerful than Jiren and Toppo, it's obvious to me that your team doesn't stand a chance against them. "
Barely giving him a glance, Giin kept his stoic gaze, as he saw the six opponents back down.
Getting up, before being joined by Kettle and Zoire, Tupper asserted.
" I admit having greatly underestimated you! You are only kids and yet, it is obvious that once adults, you will become exceptional heroes! You are not beginners! And if you are interested, we can join our forces. "
" What ? " Midoriya wondered.
" Faced with Jiren, no universe does not have the slightest chance of winning. " Zoire affirmed. " However, this does not exclude the fact that a universe can win, by having the most fighters still present on the field, when the tournament ends. "
" By joining forces, we will be able to defeat all the other universes. " Kettle continued. " Two teams of heroes are better than one, right? And then we will fight to define the winner of the tournament! It's a good deal, isn't it? "
In response, Kettle had to tilt his head to the side, to avoid an explosive shot.
" Are you kidding us, or what? " Bakugo questioned him, his hand raised towards him.
" We know full well that we don't have the slightest chance against Jiren. " Shoto asserted. " That's why we're counting on Goku and the others to take him down! We, our role is to take care of you, to eliminate your team. "
" Besides, nothing tells us that you wouldn't use us to rest while letting us fight. " Finished Midoriya. " Sorry, but our answer is no. "
Immediately, Zoire created a new gust of wind. Embarrassed by the attack, the trio of boys crossed their arms in front of them for protection. Taking advantage of their stillness, Kettle and Tupper rushed towards Bakugo and Shoto before hitting them. Being thrown back, the duo then saw the two heroes running towards them to continue attacking them.
" KACCHAN! TODOROKI! "
" You won't go anywhere. " Cried Zoire.
Attempting to punch him, Zoire felt his fist go through the teenager's body.
" What ? "
" BLACK WHIP! "
Feeling tied up, Zoire was unable to make the slightest movement.
" What is that ? "
" ST LOUIS SMASH AIR FORCE ! "
A kick hit Zoire and knocked him away from Midoriya.
Meanwhile, while Tupper had girded Bakugo and brought down, Kettle aimed at Shoto and sent hundreds of ki-blasts in his direction. Having created an ice dome around him, Shoto resisted the hero's assault as best he could.
Finally, Kettle flew towards him before clenching his fist. Hitting the ice dome, he managed to shatter it in one blow. Taking a step back, while still being shocked, Shoto ends up getting punched in the face afterwards.
" Shoto ! " Bakugo shouted, trying to struggle.
" Keep calm, you can't do anything. "
" Free yourself! " Roared Bakugo
suddenly, turning his face to Tupper, Bakugo opened his mouth and Tupper was surprised to see a spiraling shock wave coming out of it.
" What … ? "
Being hit by the attack, Tupper took two steps back, freeing Bakugo. Taking advantage, Bakugo leaps towards him, his fist back.
" HOWITZER IMPACT ! "
This time, having struck him with power, Bakugo managed to knock Tupper down.
" Never underestimate me. "
" How? …? How did you do that? "
" Damn it. " Bakugo roared, noticing that he had just used Nejire's power. " To think that I have stooped to use his power. "
Suddenly a cry was heard. Hands clasped to Kettle's stomach, Shoto was freezing the hero, who eventually found himself trapped in an ice cube.
Then wiping away the blood from a wound to his forehead, Shoto turned to Tupper, asserting himself.
" You have to stop underestimating us just because we are younger than you. "
" Whatever happens, we will win this tournament. " Ended Midoriya, ending up behind Tupper.
Watching his three opponents advance towards him, Tupper didn't know where to turn. Finally, a tornado of wind struck the terrain causing the trio to retreat.
" You will pay me. " Zoire roared.
" You again? "
Taking advantage of this diversion, Tupper rushed over to Kettle and fired a ki-blast. The explosion of his attack destroys the class that imprisoned his friend.
" Damn it. " Roared the pride Troopers. " How could I have been ridiculed by this kid? "
" Calms you ! " Cried Tupper, looking for someone. " We must proceed intelligently. "
Seeing Midoriya then, he cried out.
" He seems to be the most competent of their team! If we eliminate it their morale will be at their lowest! Zoire! "
Immediately, the dwarf targeted Midoriya with a new gust of wind, which hit Midoriya head-on.
Coming up behind him, Kettle kicked him that hit the boy in the back.
" That is what I thought. " Affirmed by positioning himself in front of Midoriya. " Attacks like Zoire's are capable of hitting you despite your power! And you can't use it if you're not focused. "
Simply staring at him, Midoriya placed her arm back, before preparing to attack.
" 150% "
" It is time. " Cried Tupper.
Immediately, the trio faced Midoriya, and all three created beams of energy that shot towards Midoriya.
" TEXAS SMASH ! "
Hitting the triple attack, Midoriya managed to counter it with the power of her punch.
" AHHHHHHHHHH! I would not give up. "
" Tsss! You will not be able to keep this rhythm indefinitely. " Zoire retorted.
Increasing the power of their attack, the trio ended up knocking Midoriya back, while the intensity of their attacks was more powerful than her punch. Gritting his teeth, he felt his arm start to destroy itself.
" You are finished. " Tupper asserted.
" No way. " Retorted two voices.
Placing their hands on Midoriya's back, the two boys pushed Midoriya forward, preventing him from moving back further.
" KACCHAN? TODOROKI! "
" No question of losing against these clowns. " Roared his two friends.
Just nodding, Midoriya redoubled her effort to stop, before finally taking a step forward.
" I will win, for all our friends and teachers who have trained us for ten years and who have always believed in us. "
" Don't go too far, kid! " Tupper roared. " Guys, FULL POWER! "
Attacking with all their might, the trio stepped up their triple attack again, causing the young heroes to retreat.
" AHHHHHH! " They cried, feeling themselves recoil further.
" Do you like that? " Wanted to know Zoire.
" This time you will not be able to fight against the power of the Prides Troopers. " Tupper asserted.
" Abandon while there is still time. " Finished Kettle.
" Abandon? No way ! " Midoriya retorted.
" We will never lost against warriors as weak as you. " Bakugo asserted.
" We will come out of this tournament as the winner. " Finished Shoto.
" ONE FOR ALL! " The three boys screamed, as their bodies glowed.
" What ? "
" FLASHFREEZE HEATWAVE ! "
" FULL COWL - 100%! "
At that moment, the triple attack of the Prides Troopers began to recede in the face of a torrent of flame and an explosive beam.
" What? "
" 200%! " Cried Midoriya. " DELAWARE DETROIT SMASH ! "
Midoriya's attack added to that of her friends and struck the energy beams of the Prime Troopers, creating an explosion.
Remaining in the stands, Belmod and Giin stood up as an explosion occurred in the area of the pitch.
" Guys ? " Momo wondered, leaning over the void.
" Who won ? " Wanted to know Vewon.
At that moment, Belmod heard three sounds of teleporting and saw his three warriors appear in the stands.
" What? "
" Tupper-san… Zoire-san… Kettle-san are all three eliminated. "
Then, when the smoke cleared over the field, Universe 12 could see its three warriors still standing and on the field. Universe 12 had just won its first real battle.
" They won ? " Kendo wondered. " They won. "
" They eliminated them . " Cried Agu.
Immediately displaying an evil smile, Giin turned to Belmod, before declaring.
" What were you saying, already? "
" Grrr. "
" Uh ... sorry Belmod-sama. " Tupper apologized.
" Tsss! No worries! They can rejoice as long as they want, we'll win anyway. "
Watching the members of Universe 11 be eliminated, Midoriya threw her fist in the air.
" All Might! We won. "
" The effort is always rewarded. " Todoroki asserted.
" Tsss. " Bakugo said simply, pretending to leave.
At that moment, Blast appeared behind him.
" Your powers interest me. "
Suddenly, Blast touched her back, before doing the same with Todoroki and Midoriya.
" Perfect ! " He announced, looking at her hand.
" Hey? What are you doing, asshole? " Bakugo questioned him.
" Guys ? " Kirishima wondered, arriving in turn.
Simply smiling, Blast introduced himself.
" My name is Blast, hero number 1 of universe 4! unfortunately, I was known by another name! I was nicknamed '' Blast, with a thousand powers! ''
" What ? "
Suddenly, Blast's body lit up and, immediately, Midoriya was shocked at recognizing Blast's power.
" Impossible. "
" ONE FOR ALL! " Cried Blast.
