*THIRD PERSON*

"He's awake..." Annie replied with a smile.

A beacon of blue light exploded from the center of the crater. The blinding blue light generated violent winds that roared throughout the arena. Everyone that wasn't eliminated stood and stared at the spectacle of power! A white light sparkled from the base of the beacon. Tomikoa stepped forward towards the edge of the crater. The light disappeared and the dust began to settle.

The aura around Alyx wasn't its familiar violet blue, it was instead a blue and white. Alyx's hair flowed with the wind, he looked up towards Tomikoa, his eyes now gleaming an ice white. He slowly moved his body up, and within seconds appeared in front of Tomikoa with a high kick that she luckily dodged.

Tomikoa threw a punch at Alyx, and he somehow dodged it in midair! They clashed fists which sent Alyx backwards. Tomikoa appeared in front of Alyx, ready to strike again, Alyx was about to make a move until his body moved for him, kneeing Tomikoa in the gut! Which made Tomikoa stumble backwards.

"Fourth Gear, what Mode is that?" Yosetsu asked.

Annie was dumbfounded, she's never seen something like this before! Did Alyx tap into some hidden technique? Surely, this wasn't Infinite Mode, right?

"I'm not sure, but whatever it is, it's working." Annie replied.

Annie observed Alyx's movements, he was dodging almost everything Tomikoa threw at him, something was different! She noticed how his hair was seemingly glowing white at the tips, alongside his ice white eyes and Overdrive flaring scar. Tomikoa and Alyx were now in the air, striking each other back and forth, neither of them seemed to be hitting anything but their fists against the other's.

"HRAAAAAAH!" Alyx let out a surprising demonic sounding roar!

This took Tomikoa by surprise, and Alyx struck her with an Overdrive Fist! It sent Tomikoa down to the ground, and Alyx followed, roaring at the top of his lungs! Everyone watched on in shock, all of Class 2-A had wondered if he used that Demon Form that Nezuko told them about, due to how his scream sounded. Alyx hit Tomikoa so hard an explosion erupted from the impact! Once the smoke cleared, Alyx and Tomikoa were seen standing a few feet apart.

"So, you've managed to do it, haven't you?" Tomikoa smiled.

Alyx stood there, in complete silence, staring at Tomikoa. The tournament was halfway over, but it almost felt like it was just beginning!

"Hmph... It seems as if he's no longer as naïve as I thought... Interesting. This Quirk of his, it truly is a wonder." Monoma said to himself.

Deku slid down the crater and ran towards Alyx, "Alyx! I can-"

Alyx held his hand out and Deku stopped in his tracks. Alyx looked at his hands and observed his new found powers. Whatever powers flowed through his body had dissipated and Alyx fell to the ground. Deku rushed over and caught him.

"Leave. I have no business with you." Tomikoa demanded.

Deku, with anger in his heart, charged up to 100% and ran towards Tomikoa.

"QUIT UNDERESTIMATING US!" Deku yelled.

He hit Tomikoa full force with a Detroit Smash and blew the side of the crater further back! He looked up and saw Tomikoa's head moved slightly to the side.

"Impressive, maybe you do have enough power to hurt me." Tomikoa told him.

Deku looked stunned, she somehow managed to take a full power Detroit Smash and not seem effected at all!

"But... I can tell you'd be an easy victory. Now, go. Take him with you." Tomikoa pointed to the unconscious Leonidus.

Deku listened to her and he picked Alyx up. He quickly jumped away and looked for a safe spot to put Alyx. Deku looked down as he noticed the white glowing light fading out of the tips of Alyx's hair.

"What was that? It felt like his Infinite Mode, but it looked much different." Deku thought to himself.

They landed in a secure area, he propped Alyx up on a small boulder, then left to find the others.

[5 Minutes Later...]

*LEONIDUS' P.O.V.*

I woke up alone, wasn't I fighting Tomikoa? I sat up and looked at my hands, my body felt really cold and stiff! What Mode was that? Infinite Mode? I brushed myself off, the top part of my Gi was torn off, and my shirt had some holes in it. So much for a new outfit... I quickly blinked twice and searched for everyone's heat energy. Momo was alone, but her Heat Energy was slowly fading, Deku & Uraraka were together, and everyone else was either spread out alone or in groups of two or three. I climbed up and looked at our side of the stands. I calculated how many people we had left, only about 20 of us remained, which was just plain crazy!

I hurried over to Momo, her heat energy was slowly fading, so I had to be quick. I landed on a cliff that overlooked where Momo was. She was fighting Sashi!

"What's wrong? I thought you were Leonidus' Girlfriend? Why would he date someone as weak as you?!" Sashi yelled.

I flew in and kicked Sashi in the face! I landed back on the ground in front of Momo.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

Momo wiped blood from her mouth, "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Ah! There you are! I was wondering if that blonde chick kicked your ass or not. I figured I'd rough up your girl here as payment!" Sashi joked.

I laughed, "Well, I'm a bit worn out, but she definitely didn't kick my ass. I wouldn't be here if she did."

"Alright, so, if we're gonna do this, I want you to show me whatever the hell you used against her." She requested.

"Honestly, I'm way too exhausted to even attempt to go back into Infinite Mode, if that's what it was. I'll work up to it, I guarantee it! Just you wait, you'll see, I promise!" I exclaimed.

"So, you aren't gonna use your Quirk, and you wanna take me on? You're gonna get washed!" Sashi laughed.

"We'll see about that! Let's do this! Come on, Momo!" I shouted.

Momo and I faced off against Sashi and Sekawa! We flanked them, I charged towards Sekawa and Momo charged towards Sashi, I started my chain of punches against Sekawa.

"Hey! You're controlling your Quirk! Awesome, kid!" I shouted.

Sekawa smiled at me, "T-Thank you! But it's my turn now!"

Sekawa blasted me back, I rebounded off the ground by backflipping to regain my bearing. I slid off the ground and dodged Sekawa's blast attack, it blew through three of those rubble mountains!

"Hey! Sekawa! Switch!" Sashi shouted.

They switched places, now I was fighting Sashi!

"What's wrong? Are you still tired? I'd hate to eliminate you if you weren't fighting all out!" Sashi mocked.

"You read my mind, I'd hate to lose now!" I yelled.

I started to charge up to Mode One, "HAAAAAAAAAAH... HAAARNNNNN"

I grit my teeth and clenched my fists, "HAAAAAAaa... RAAAAH!"

I powered up to Mode One! I took a deep breath in then out.

"Alright, this has got me pumped!" I beamed.

I charged towards Sashi and we exchanged fists, I kept my eye on Momo, but she was handling Sekawa pretty well. I guess all that training really did pay off!

"Heh, I thought you said you were worn out?" Sashi recalled.

"Well, I guess all of this fighting's making my blood boil!" I shouted back.

I knocked her back into a cliff and fired off a barrage of Overdrive blasts.

"You know, you've gotten a lot better! We haven't even been fighting for 5 minutes yet and it feels like you improved a lot! You still have some things to work on, though. Your strikes are a bit too easy to guess." I told her.

I looked over towards Momo, Sekawa was trying to knock her off the arena stage! I rushed over to him and punched him off of her.

"Nice save!" Momo thanked me.

"I'm getting tired of this! Sekawa, remember that thing mom and dad taught us?" Sashi asked.

Sekawa nodded and both of them held each other's hands. They began to spin around and around in the air, then a blinding bright light flashed, Momo and I covered our eyes.

"W-what's going on?!" Momo shouted.

The sounds in front of us stopped and so did the flashing lights. We looked up, instead of seeing two people, we only saw one! What did they do?

"AHA HA HA HA! This power is incredible! I feel like it could burst out of me at any second!" She shouted.

The pressure she put out was intense! I couldn't even feel their heat energy at all!

"W-what is this?" Momo asked.

"This is called "Total Spirit Absorption", Sekawa and I have combined together. That's means..."

Sashi bulked up and the ground below her indented, "I CAN BEAT YOUR ASS!"

With blinding speed, she zoomed towards us! She appeared right behind both of us and laughed. Momo and I quickly turned around and tried to strike at her, but she dodged our strikes with ease! She punched both of us in the gut and sent us flying backwards. I locked arms with Momo and in the air, I threw her at Sashi, which Sashi was hit head on by Momo's staff! I went into Mode Two and darted towards them.

I kicked Sashi in the neck, which she retaliated by grabbing my leg. Momo hit her in the stomach with her staff, and Sashi kicked her away. I activated Boost Fire and kicked her in the face using my free leg. She let go of my leg and stumbled back, I jumped backwards to help Momo up.

"Goddamn it! That hurt, ya know!" Sashi grumbled.

I looked up, and right before our eyes, Sashi had reeled her fist back! She was charging up some sort of attack, she fired it off, and I pushed Momo out of the way.

*THIRD PERSON*

Sashi's attack slammed into Alyx, almost making a burrowing tunnel in the arena! Momo stood back up, figuring that Alyx had been eliminated.

"Well, well, well, that was easier than expected. You guys actually call him strong? What a waste!" Sashi mocked.

Momo held out her staff, "If he wasn't here... Then none of us would've made it this far!"

In a last-ditch attempt, Momo ran towards Sashi, although she knew she was the next to be eliminated. Momo still held onto that hope that she could find a way to defeat her. But, just as she predicted, Sashi quickly overcame her. Sashi grabbed the beaten Yaoyorozu by the hair.

"See ya!" She shouted and she chucked Momo across the arena.

Momo felt as if she failed her classmates and U.A. Then, a force swooped by her, taking her to the ground. She looked to see who her silent savior was, her eyes lit up with joy, as a blue and white aura lit up her face.

"WHAT THE?! I-IMPOSSIBLE!" Sashi roared.

Alyx turned around, the aura around him intensified and formed around his body. His eyes opened and revealed those sharp, ice white colored eyes. The tips of his hair began to glow white yet again! Something different happened this time, as red and black smoke came off of Alyx's body.

"HURAAAAAH!" Alyx roared.

Now that Momo was closer to him, she studied his shout. It definitely sounded like his Demon Form scream combined with his regular voice! Momo buried her head in his chest as the winds and pressure grew more intense.

Sashi looked on in amazement, "I-Incredible... So, this is your full power...?"

Alyx, now somehow using Infinite Mode yet again, shocked the remaining participants in the tournament. Tomikoa watched on as she witnessed this grand showcase of power!

"He really has done it... He's awoken his Quirk..." Tomikoa said to herself.

As the Universal Hero Tournament slowly comes to an end, one thing was for certain, Alyx's newly found powers were continuing to grow! Right before everyone's eyes, an undiscovered awakening was taking place, one that could turn the tides for U.A.! How would Sashi fair against the seemingly rejuvenated Alyx Leonidus? Could her Total Spirit Absorption be enough to take on Leonidus' Awoken Quirk? Everyone in the stands watched on as they witnessed Alyx's display of power once more. Not a single person kept their eyes off of what they were seeing.

"I'm nowhere close to him, but I can feel something's different about him." Shona observed.

"Yeah, it's almost as if his Quirk's gotten even more powerful somehow!" Kaminari added.

The fight between Sashi and Alyx was coming to a close, which one would walk away standing? Who would be the next sitting in the stands? Which combatant would come out victorious? All will be answered soon during this fiery battle between Sashi Konosami and Alyx Leonidus!
