"Damn it!" Katsuki shouted.
"Bakugo," Sith turned to him, "There WILL be a part two for you, but I'm waiting."
"For WHAT?!"
"Well, 1.) Please don't yell-."
"Not happening."
"Understandable, 2.)-"
Kirishima snorted and smiled
"I remembered to do something important:"
'You'd REALLY think a god would remember things better!'
"I heard that" Sith looked unimpressed, ignoring the slightly startled faces of his crowd.
"That important thing is..." Sith snapped his fingers, and suddenly, the couch Iida and Uraraka were sitting on had split between them and extended enough to fit another cushion, but the seat that was supposed to be there had spawned in the center of the room, and another swirling purple portal spawned atop of it.
"I'm inviting more guests, but this one here's the most important!"
A slumbering body had landed with a gentle *thump*, and there he was: Emerald green hair, freckles and all,
"Izuku!\Midoriya!" The crowd cheered, but Katsuki and Tsuyu were confused,
"Mr. Sith?" Tsuyu asked.
"Yep?"
"I thought you couldn't bring him here?" Tsuyu continued, she was sure she remembered the reason.
"Well yes, but I brought in a different multiversal variant of him." Sith explained,
"Oh, so what's different about this one?" Tsuyu turned back to Izuku and tilted his head a bit to the side.
Katsuki leaned in closer, he was sure there was somthing in his hair, something really odd.
Izuku's eyes opened slightly, closed, and opened about halfway. He raised his head and yawned widely, then they saw... IT
The odd thing Katuki saw, it flickered on his head like candle flames, then opened fully, they were emerald green kitty ears, a jet-black tuft of fur at its opening and pretty bright pink insides, then a slim snake-like tail rose from his back, matching in emerald green with a matching black tip.
The initial reactions varied, Inko and All Might's hands found each other and squealed in delight.
Nezu glanced at Aizawa, who let one hand reach towards Izuku's seat, but his other hand grabbed his wrist, and forced it onto his lap
Many others cooed and awed, while only a few others turned away with blushes, but Iida noticed none of that, as he had grabbed Ochako and Todoroki by the back of their shirt collars to prevent them from tackling Izuku, all while repeating the words: "Kitty Deku!\Midoriya!" while thrashing about in Iida's iron grip,
And at the same time, Mirio doing the same to a squirming, star-eyed Eri.
"Yeah, since you can't have your Midoriya, I figured a few of you would find this version of him a bit more..." Sith did a windmill motion with his wrist, trying to find the right words, "Appealing, I guess."
"YEP!" Dark Shadow cheered\bellowed as Tokoyami tried to wrangle him away from the dazed green Kitty.
Cat-Zuku perked up and flickered his ears, his eyes grazed through the crowd...
... Cat-Zuku's lips parted slightly,
"...Mr-eowr?" His head tilted to the side curiously.
...
... Madness. Absolute... Madness is what ensued in that theater, but Sith had smiled before he heard any reactions, he had a general idea of what this was...
Aizawa had to lasso Mt. Lady and Midnight to stop them from kidnapping the kitty-boy, Tokoyami stared as he started to consider letting Dark Shadow take Izuku,
Mina and Tooru joined hands to squeal at the boy while Jirou's hand suddenly shot over Momo's thinking it would anchor her to her seat, but Momo saw the inner turmoil in Jirou's eyes as she twitched like a madman,
And Uraraka and Todoroki begged Iida to release them: "PLEASE, can we have him!?" while genuinely sounding like they were about to cry if he denied them.
Kirishima smiled and looked over to Katsuki, who hid his face in trembling hands.
... Sith was wrong, this was so much better.
Cat-Zuku jumped up with a cat-like yelp while his tail shot straight up, "U-Uh, h-hi guys..." He took a moment to look around his surreal setting, because, y' know, It's not very often you wake up with your best friends in the great vastness of space and still be alive.
Anyways, Sith raised his hand, chuckling all the way, and snapped his fingers to set them back in their seat, and Izuku's in the gap between Iida and Uraraka, (She squealed in delight while Deku's face became strawberry red.)
"Iida, Uraraka?" Sith asked while refilling his cup of tea from his pinky, "Could you bring Midoriya up to speed for me?" He finished lazily.
Izuku turned from side to side, listening to his friends explain their situation as everyone else, (Minus Katsuki, who did it secretly,) watching Izuku's tail and ears perk up more and more in excitement, it was then when they realized his freckles highlighted the base of his whiskers
'Can I PLEASE have him!?' Dark Shadow pleaded to Tokoyami's mind.
"Wow, I did all that to that Scorpion guy?" Izuku said to Iida after a few minutes of explaining, (Minus his villainous side, of course.)
"Yeah!" Ochako perked up, "And I have the BEST joke to tell you later!" Ochako turned to laugh into her elbow to stifle it.
The crowd shuddered with small smiles
"Right then, I'll assume you two are done over there? I've got the next Universe ready."
"Excellent," Nezu clapped his paws together and turned to Sith, "So what will we be watching next?"
"Oh one second," Sith pulled a pamphlet that was as thick as a phonebook, opened it to about halfway through, and pointed at a paragraph, granted he kept it to himself so they couldn't see.
"This one is... he, hehe, haha!" Sith's face lit up with joy before shaking his head and apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but." He looked over his crowd, "This specific one, is called 'Godzilla'."
"God...Zilla." Katsuki repeated, "The hell?"
"I know it sounds weird, but please, let me show you."
"JesusLizard," Kaminari said with a smile
"HolySnake." Sero chuckled
"SatanSalamander." Mina barely got out before laughing
"Vir-!" Kirishima started
"Please don't." Sith asked politely, he had just read his mind and did NOT want him to finish that sentence. NO ONE needed to hear that, but now he did... fan-fricking-tastic
"So, why am I here again?" The voice clearly belonged to Izuku, but it was different; gruffer, but he didn't sound any older.
'Is this about that Godzilla thing?'
"I have a question for you," Todoroki stated, the camera went to a dark entry to the stadium, On one side stood Todoroki in the athletic uniform, half covered in the tunnel's shade.
"Have you ever heard of the villain: Atomica?" Todoroki asked, but reeled back slightly when the still-hidden Izuku growled.
"O-Oh, geez." Cat-zuku said, not quite approving of his other.
"This is the sports festival, right?" Todoroki asked
"Uh-huh." Sith answered
"How could you tell?" Mina asked
"W-well," Cat-zuku scratched the back of his head, "Todoroki-Kun asked if I was All Might's secret lovechild before the tournament."
"BWAHAHA!" Kaminari and Kirishima broke into laughter while Todoroki and All Might hung their heads in embarrassment
"Hm, I'll take that as a yes?"
"You'd be correct, I know of him..." The camera turned around to show Izuku, except... this was far from their Izuku,
His hair was dominated mostly by black, leaving only single streaks or tips of green. His eyes were slit and focused solely on Todoroki, his cheeks were thinner and his chin was rougher, and most notably, a thick black-scaled tail with light grey-ish spikes came from his waist and wrapped around his ankles.
Even his posture was unfamiliar, he crossed his arms and put his chin up enough to look like he was looking down or disgusted, yet at the same time, annoyed and curious,
"I almost look..." Cat-zuku tried to find an appropriate word to describe this "...Intimidating?"
He was met with a unanimous agreement
"He was a Villian, whose Quirk allowed genetic mutation using radiation." Izuku sounded like he had rehearsed that sentence
"Right, my... Father," Todoroki spat that out like saying that word would taint him.
The half of the crowd that flinched, were stunned on why they did
"Endeavor fought him before, I assume you know that?" Todoroki looked down slightly to look at Izuku's collar, which had a mechanical lock and a white pearl-looking object in the front.
"I don't remember it being this tense, and I don't know any... Atomica." Todoroki said
"Oh, you'll know, just watch." Sith sipped from his dozenth cup of tea
"Yes," Izuku slithered "May I... May I tell you something?" Izuku's tongue flickered like a candle.
Todoroki quickly nodded
"I loathed Atomica, his quirk's side effects, it tore apart his victims, and he used them for his own gains,"
The Background disappeared and was replaced by a man's hand with a black sleeve holding a frog by its neck,
"Ribbit."
An Ominous green smoke emitted from the frog, as it became a silhouette with glowing green eyes
"His quirk was basically forced mutation,"
The Frog began to expand, his green eyes glowed red as two pairs of demonic horns sprouted from its head
Koda, much to his own surprise, found himself becoming angry
"where he takes his victim's body and mind,"
The giant frog, now sporting shark-like teeth, black skin and the size of a pick-up truck, landed on an armored truck and crushed it like a tin can
"This Atomica sounds damn powerful..." Katsuki admitted, although a bit bitterly, he had felt there was more to this story
"But its side effects were... " Izuku took a deep breath, and shivering exhale, "Awful."
The frog fell to its side with a pained, roar-like croak, like a large truck's horn. "The first, was since he used radiation for his acts, his subjects died..."
The Frog's skin looked as if it was evaporating, a green-black mist rose and twirled into the air, leaving a massive heap of bones.
Koda shook in his seat from an unfamiliar feeling of anger and sadness, he just knows he'll cuddle his bunny when he gets home.
"And the second..."
The dark mist suddenly started lowering to the city below, descending upon the surrounding crowd of police officers, heroes, and civilians.
The crowd reeled back as Cat-zuku's ears flattened against his head
"Was a radiated waste from his victims,"
The crowd below breathed in the fumes and began to both uncontrollably, the smoke rounded and circled around them, signifying the noose tied around their throats,
Cat-zuku let out a scared 'rawr' while the crowd sat, glad that this 'Atomica' didn't exist in their world... at least, not to their knowledge.
"Which made a single victim's corpse..."
Bodies started dropping, civilians fought their way into cars to get into some kind of sanctuary but failed
The crowd winced
"create enough radiation to make an entire city block,"
The camera went above, which had spread like a plague,
"completely uninhabitable."
civilians shouted in fear as they ran, groups of officers and heroes picked up civilians and helped them away
"...Holy... shit." All Might shivered
"That isn't even the worst of it," Izuku growled as he looked down solemnly
The crowd flinched, but leaned in slightly,
"Wh-what's worse than, THAT!?" Mina asked, exasperated
"Midoriya, I know what you're about to say, you don't have to." Todoroki suddenly had a flash of worry in his face, just a flash though.
"It's important," Izuku stated, his voice leaving no room for any argument.
"He discovered,"
A young-looking couple walked on a sidewalk, walking and laughing together
Tooru grabbed Mina's hand out of instinct, while the heroes' faces scrunched up in rage, alongside most of the class plus Mirio, all while Inko and Eri had latched on to their closest Blondes
"That humans..."
The black-haired male turned behind him and opened his mouth to scream, but the hand from earlier had latched onto his face, the girl turned and screamed
"Were compatible,"
The man turned into a silhouette with glowing red eyes like beams.
Izuku took a moment to crack his neck and collect himself. "But like his previous victims, they couldn't last long, sometimes, they wouldn't even get a chance. "
The silhouetted man collapsed while the girl ran for her life.
"Holy shit." Katsuki muttered on instinct, the image had remained him of Shigaraki
'What does this guy have to do with Midoriya\Izuku\Deku?'
"He decided that he needed somthing permanent, somthing born from his quirk, that wouldn't suffer from it,"
The camera turned to the man, dressed in all black and a hood covering his face, walking into a hospital,
Inko shook her head in disbelief, she had a feeling, a dark and nasty feeling.
"His greatest creation couldn't be someone or thing he kidnapped,"
He walked up a staircase and looked to his right, which had a wide mirror on it further down,
"He needed to BREED his creation to life, Which,"
The man walked up to the glass and peered down, in the closest crib laid Izuku, but his tiny claws and teeth tore through the cloth like a knife to butter, leaving him to expose his black-scaled hide and tail, all while making the most awful and angry hisses and snarls he could
The audience seemed to forget how to breathe, Ochako put her mouth in her hand, and with the other held on to Cat-zuku, who had a bit of remorse for this version of himself, while Todoroki thought bitterly about his past.
"Is where I come into the story."
Izuku's eye pried open, his slit pupil shaking uncontrollably as he looked up at the man,
He had jet black hair which sprawled out in every direction, although matted down by his hood, with very contrasting pale skin, with the same green eyes and a dozen freckles
Izuku's eye focused on the man, still growling and thrashing about, who had a face of pride, not that he was proud of having a child, he was proud of his CREATION.
"So, your father trained you from that point to be a villain? Until my father captured him, at least." Todoroki asked
'I almost forgot I was there.' Todoroki said internally, and unknown to him he shared the same thought with the more entranced side of the audience
Izuku snorted and whacked the wall behind him with a small amount of force, "You'd be correct, he trained me, CREATED me, for the sole reason... To destroy All Might." He looked back up at Todoroki, his slit eyes were scanning Todoroki's mix-matched ones for somthing.
All Might shuddered, the lengths Villians take to beat him frightened him and chilled his spine.
"That might have been shocking for anyone else," Izuku started, "But you're the same, aren't you?"
"Huh?"
Todoroki raised an eyebrow like he was going to ask how he knew,
"You're the same," Izuku stated firmly, "A man's eyes cannot lie, you... you have the same unwillingness," Izuku flexed his fingers, "To live as I."
All eyes were on Todoroki, who had decided to ignore it and keep watching, except Inko who was in some sort of shock at seeing her son even imply that he wished to die.
Todoroki sighed, "He wanted a child like me, having fire AND ice, so if I was overheated I could cool down, and if I was freezing I could heat up, which were both problems my parents faced. My father, unlike yours apparently, couldn't ace genetics as yours could." He looked at his left hand
"So he tried over and over again, each time growing more and more frustrated, until, well." Todoroki gestured broadly to himself.
Izuku looked at his left side, and the wide scar on it, "And did he do THAT to you?" He asked as he himself was no stranger to abuse,
the crowd flinched while Inko shuddered violently into All Might's side
"No..." Todoroki crossed his arms and looked out, "That's the thing, the effect it had on my mother,"
"Endeavor had made her prioritize my siblings, isolating her from everything to her friends to family." A smaller Todoroki had appeared on screen, about kindergarten-aged and scarless.
"T-T-Todoroki-san?" Ochako turned to Todoroki, who had still stared straight into the screen still
"I can't say I blame her for what she did, I've even forgiven her."
The small Todoroki walked cautiously towards a thin white-haired woman, apparently his mother, who trembled over the sink
"I'm sensing the moment when you say: 'but'," Izuku said
Todoroki sighed, "With your experience with this, and what I said, you'll understand that Endeavor had driven my mother to a degree of madness." Todoroki's voice still held its impact and hurt, but its volume lowered.
"T-Todo...roki-san?" Momo tried, he stared more in response which in turn, made her more and more sure this really happened.
Todoroki looked over to Cat-zuku, who offered the gentlest smile he could muster.
"She thought my left side to be a monstrosity," She turned from her sink and looked at Shoto with a single eye that held the epidemy of insanity, sorrow, and anger, all directed at him. The only thing to break this tension was the high pitched whistle\shreik of the teapot.
"Meow" Cat-zuku had snuck over and sat on Todoroki's knee, and intentionally put his head under his, "In my world, people keep on saying this calms them down." He confessed, and slowly but all-too-eagerly, He patted Cat-zuku's head and ran his thumb on his flattened ears.
Todoroki felt blissful when Cat-zuku slightly vibrated from a drawn-out purr.
The rest would feel jealous if they weren't convinced he'd needed it now more than ever.
Shoto's mother grabbed the pot, and Shoto took one cautious step back
Ochako came behind Cat-zuku and hugged Todoroki as Cat-zuku sprawled himself on his lap.
She spun so suddenly he couldn't react, and the screen went white when Shoto's tiny, high-pitched voice screamed to the heavens.
Iida came to Todoroki's left and embraced him, while Cat-zuku's purrs shook his knee, in short, it took every ounce of will power he had, and years of being emo not to cry
"So my father took no blame, and sent my mother to a mental hospital,"
"Oh look, another bastard on my blow-his-ass-up list." Katsuki muttered, he'd done some fucked things, but what the FUCK?
Kirishima gave a small smile, knowing that that was Katsuki's way of showing care.
"So to spite the old man who had created me for the same reason as yours, I refuse to battle with my left side, I'll become the #1 hero only using my mother's Ice." Todoroki finished
'So that's why.' the crowd thought, well minus a few that didn't personally know Todoroki, but they all agreed on calling Endeavor a bastard.
Eri was confused, she wondered why a hero was being portrayed as bad.
"In a way, that makes two of us then," Izuku shrugged, "My father gave me everything he'd thought I'd need to topple All Might, but I can't simply refuse to use my claws and tail." He gestured towards himself, "But he gave me a secret weapon, which he even claimed could take All Might's life, If I weren't to hold back, THAT is how I spite that bastard, it's why I wear this necklace, it helps suppress its power."
The crowd stood on the verge of shock and disbelief, every hot-shot Villian claimed that they could stomp out All Might and failed, but Izuku wasn't bragging like the Villians, he displayed it like a fact.
Todoroki thought the same, he couldn't sense any doubt in his voice, posture, or eyes.
" Very well," Todoroki said finally, "I'll see you at the tournament, I hope you'll show me." Todoroki walked to the exit of the small tunnel, "I hope you show me, your will bests my own."
*TIME SKIP*
"That was tense, jeez." Jirou sighed deeply, then looked over to the small heap of friends that was Todoroki's comfort zone.
"Agreed." a large sum of voices replied
"Are you okay, Todoroki-Kun?" Cat-zuku asked, raising his head to look up at him,
'This guy's going to give me a heart attack' Cat-zuku's shimmering eyes almost brought him to coddle the kitty as long as he lived, but he calmed himself, "I'm fine, thank you all."
The group gave their 'It's fine's and 'No problem's
"AND NOW LISTENERS, FOR THE 1ST MATCH OF THE SECOND ROUND!" Present Mic's astonishingly loud voice was amplified a thousand fold by his microphone
"Right to the second round?" Present Mic asked,
"Well, yeah," Ochako answered, "because this is where Deku and Todoroki fought."
"If I remember correctly, didn't Midoriya use his quirk to get out of Shinso's mind-control?" Momo speculated
All Might's eyes widened when he remembered One for All HAD been the reason that Izuku was able to escape, "W-Well, remember, Midoriya himself claimed his father prepared him for even me, so maybe it was that."
'Smooth' Sith congratulated All Might's quick wits, while Cat-zuku praised his mentor in silence
Izuku drowned out the blond man's voice, he walked from the tunnel, with his tail swaying attentively, and into the blinding light, in perfect view of the hundreds of thousands of people watching and screaming at him,
Many had recollections of pride and embarrassment.
But he couldn't care less, there were currently 6 people in this whole wide world that mattered right now, and only three of them were because of a positive reason,
"Harsh." Mt. Lady and Midnight said in unison.
1: His mother was watching today, there was a shot of a slightly skinnier version of Inko in a small apartment, looking anxious but not letting it replace her support in her son,
Inko looked back nostalgically, that was such a big day for them both.
2: All Might, he'd always idolized him and felt as though winning this would prove why he'll be #1 someday, no matter what.
'Oh my boy, you didn't need to win for me to know this.'
And 3:
Izuku actually looked flushed as a bit of red spread across his face,
"Positive reason, huh?" Mina asked slyly
Cat-zuku gave a quick squeaky 'Rawr'
He looked over subtly where the two hero course students sat while still walking and did his best not to smile at the girl in his view,
'Give it to me, give me somthing to get him all flustered with.' Mina thought, she wasn't a mean person, but Midoriya was real cute when he's embarrassed if his interactions with Uraraka had anything to say about it
Izuku sighed, he looked right at Mina Ashido
'What?' the class turned to an unprepared Mina, who looked more rose-like rather than pink
As someone with a mutant type quirk, odd looks were common, especially since he looked like, well, himself. But he'd found that mutation quirks were so fascinating to him, such as the absolute clusterfuck that was most likely Shoji's biology,
Shoji took it like a man, even he didn't quite know what the hell's going on with him.
But she was simply the most stunning he's ever seen.
Mina squeaked and held her cheeks
But the rest of the 6, first and foremost, was his old man, whether or not he was still alive was a mystery to Izuku, but he couldn't care less. The second was Endeavor himself.
Todoroki tilted his head a bit, why?
The absurdity of that bastard astonished Izuku, and he was supposed to be a hero? Worse yet, his superior? Laughable
Todoroki suddenly felt quite touched by Midoriya.
The third was Todoroki, Izuku realized that they both had the same path to follow, the product of hatred and it would show in this battle, Izuku stepped on the concrete stairs.
The roaring flames of Endeavor caught his eyes,
'Todoroki is meant to be your greatest creation, but with the damage, you've done... you've made him weak, now I'll break him, right in front of you.'
No amount of context or build-up made that sentence any less sinister.
Izuku and Todoroki stopped in their places, and Midnight swung her flag down after the few seconds they spent staring.
Todoroki swung his right arm behind him, as frost appeared on the stadium and his palm.
'Judging what he did to Sero, this could get ugly real fast.' Izuku prepared himself, although doubting he really had it in him to do it twice.
Sero scratched the back of his head, "Todoroki's too good!" he complained to Kaminari and Mina
Todoroki swung it, a stream of ice pillars raced towards him.
Izuku growled and raised his arm like he was about to flick somthing at Todoroki, One for All charging in his hands
"How does he still have that Quirk?" Mineta asked, being the voice of reason for the first time.
"Erm, w-well," Cat-zuku started, "I- no, HE said that Atomica guy, made him perfect, right? Soo, yeah."
'Not so Smooth, Small Might.' Sith thought
Izuku let loose and obliterated the oncoming wave of ice, much to the awe of the audience
Izuku charged at Todoroki, holding his arms in front as much as possible while boosting off of each leg each time he landed,
Todoroki tensed and crouched slightly to get a good angle of an upwards wave,
Izuku aimed down and blasted himself up-and-over the attack, casting his shadow over the boy and descended quickly. "Hmph." Todoroki jumped to the right as the falling boy landed like a meteor.
"I get it," Cat-zuku sad to himself, "the added claws, teeth, and tail gave him enough confidence to attack him upfront,"
Izuku was ignoring him, but he was sure he heard Present Mic say something about Izuku wanting to end it quickly.
With a growl, Izuku ran at Todoroki, who sent another series of pillars his way, Izuku dodged to the left and charged again with a small roar.
"I wonder how much strength he packs without One for All," Cat-zuku continued while noticing his other self had only three toes on each foot and no shoes.
Todoroki spun to him and set up a short, yet dense wall.
"Nice try!" Izuku yelled, "BUT-!"
With a mighty, *CRASH!* the wall was blown apart from Izuku leaping at it and hitting it with both arms,
Before Todoroki could activate his ice, Izuku landed and threw a right hook straight to his jaw, "TRY AGAIN!"
"A SOLID HIT!" Present Mic yelled,
'As long as I keep it to close quarters, I won't need One for All.' Izuku thought to himself
Cat-zuku was too deep into muttering to notice his classmate's awe, "It makes sense, he probably has denser muscles or stronger bones for strength."
Todoroki rolled back, but recovered and got back up,
"Y'know what?" Izuku stopped, "I don't get it."
Seeing Todoroki confused expression, Izuku panted, not out of any form of exhaustion or need to stop, but he was getting angry.
"Why fight at only half your strength? Not even that!" Izuku threw his arms out like he was frustrated, "You don't attack with your fists, only your quirk, AND ONLY HALF of it! and look!" Izuku gestured to his upper arm, which was covered in small mounds of ice, his skin was clearly frostbitten beneath.
The crowd reeled back, it was common that Izuku didn't lash out easily, but this clearly got on his nerves.
"I know what this means to you," Izuku admitted, "but if you keep this up: This isn't a fight anymore..."
Izuku glared and ran his thumbs through his other fingers, making a slow *Shinn, Shinn, Shink* noise
"THIS!" Izuku stomped, causing the concrete around his foot to break, "is a MASSACRE!"
With a final feral roar, Izuku bounded at Todoroki, and too shocked to move, Izuku gave him a powerful blow square in the chest.
The crowd gasped, the pure rage he displayed reminded them uncomfortably of the villainous version of Izuku.
The force was enough to send Todoroki back once more, this time he'd sent a small wall behind him to catch him. Todoroki coughed blood onto the arena's floor, this could end two ways: Izuku beats his endurance, and he freezes himself over or... or...
Todoroki looked down at his left arm, and considered the option for a split second, but wait, why was Izuku encouraging him when he himself...
"you damn, HYPOCRITE!" Todoroki yelled at Izuku, who looked a bit confused, "Don't lecture me you lizard, did my damn old man pay you off or something?!"
"He's not wrong." Cat-zuku said, "Even it's supposed to take out All Might, he still refuses to use it just like Todoroki."
"W-W-Well!" Izuku couldn't come up with anything, which made Todoroki a hundred times angrier than earlier
"BASTARD!" Todoroki cried, and sent another, but a more widespread wave of ice at Izuku,
Instead of running, Izuku stood still and put both his arms over his head
'I\He didn't figure out his full\my feline's cowling yet, is he really going to break his arms for THAT?' All Might and Cat-zuku thought at the same time
And with that swing, Izuku blasted the icy attack to bits, and after a few seconds of panting, "You're getting weaker..." Izuku muttered,
Todoroki looked at the increasingly evident mound of ice on him and let out a small growl, and swung his arm back to send another wave of ice at Izuku.
"Not happening!" He yelled as he shot another blast from his finger, sending an extremely chilling wave of air over Todoroki, "Hey," Izuku called to him
Todoroki looked up as soon as he recovered, "Wanna see something cool?" Izuku asked
"I don't like where this is going," Aizawa said, he knew he wouldn't pull out this supposed, 'All Might Killer' but he knew it was somthing.
Just about everyone else was wondering what he was willing to interrupt the match over
Izuku lifted up his hand with the black-scaled, mangled finger, then a *CRACK* came from it,
"No..." Cat-zuku was in awe, there was no way
The bottom joint snapped to normal, *CRACK* and now the other.
The crowd went through a large wave of amazement and slight disgust at the display, but after that, the students and teachers began to draw the lines between this Izuku and the Nomus
Todoroki reeled back out of a tad bit disgust, and a bit more of fear.
"I loath my old man," Izuku said while staring at his own hand, "But the bastard knew what he was doing."
The crowd above in the hero student seats had the same reaction as Todoroki,
"Jesus..." Mina whispered, 'knew what he was doing..?'
"Like those Nomu things?" She questioned, she looked over to Yoayoarozu to share her thoughts, but she was staring straight up, in fact, everyone was.
"I REALLY don't like where this is going!" Present Mic proclaimed
"Uhh..." She looked up and gasped, her eyes going wide
"I have a bad feeling about this." Kaminari said aloud
All around the stadium, a circle of black clouds spun, closing in on the arena from above, the howling winds threatened to destroy anything too close.
"Before anyone asks anything, no. There wasn't a scheduled change of weather." Sith said confusingly
"But then how was there a storm?" Midnight asked
with a small chuckle, "Just watch." Sith said
The howling winds and storm intensified, going faster and faster with what seemed to be the two boys below to be the eye of it.
"Hehe, sorry." Izuku said while scratching the back of his head while looking up, "That happens sometimes, heh."
"Bull...shit." Katsuki breathed, this was some crazy shit, no doubt, but how the HELL?!
Cat-zuku's surroundings became a typhoon of breathless muttering and speculation, and to be honest, no one was in any state to stop him from doing so
"Well then," Todoroki looked up and saw the shadow the storm cast upon them, "This just got interesting," Todoroki said, trying to keep his cool.
'Christ that was badass!' Izuku thought
Todoroki gave a smile through his shock
Izuku slammed the ground behind him with his tail, and began running, another slam, followed by another, now going into a full sprint. Todoroki took a cautious step back. Izuku did a single flip but landed on his tail, and bounded off it, giving him one last push to get close to Todoroki.
Todoroki lifted up his hand and shot it down, creating a quick ice wall to block him, 'Damn, he's quicker than he looks...' taking one last look at the stirring storm above, he decided to end this quickly.
"The power you waste..." Izuku's voice came from behind the wall, so in retaliation, Todoroki sent a large spike through it
Seeing this coming, Izuku tail whipped the spiky tip, and did a spinning punch, "Isn't his!" Izuku punched the now flat tip of the ice spike, destroying it with a terrible crashing sound
Todoroki and Cat-zuku smiled, both remembering that this was truly the moment they were destined to be friends
"TODOROKI!"
Both audiences flinched at the shout, added in with the booms of thunder that hung overhead.
Izuku gave one huge punch at his wall, creating a large enough hole to get through, "IT'S YOUR POWER!"
These words rang in his head, as time itself seemed to slow
"Your father," The white-haired woman from before sat with Shoto, who had a large bandage eye-patch that covered nearly a quarter of his face, "wants to make you a great hero!" She patted his head lovingly and as gentle as she could be, "Just like hi-"
"I don't wanna be like him!" Shoto cried into her leg
'I won't, I'm not gonna cry, nope, not today, not today dammit!' Kirishima shouted internally, while others did the same, either whispering it or failing and feeling tiny pricks of hot tears collect in their eyes.
"I don't wanna be someone who bullies you!"
"Oh Shoto..."
The younger Todoroki looked up somberly at his mother, "You can be,"
The shot went back to the present, with tiny spots of smoke appearing near his eye, steadily growing but being pushed and pulled by the winds.
"Anyone you want to be." His mother's voice echoed in his head
"RAH!" Todoroki snapped out of his daze at Izuku's shout, followed by a hard left punch to the face, "I'm sorry you couldn't realize that." He said
"Gah!" Todoroki did a small spin and landed on his hands and knees, panting heavily.
Behind him, Izuku threw his head and arms back, staring straight into the swirling storm above, and released a high-pitched, triumphant and ear-splitting roar:
"KREEEEEEEEEEEEOUGH!"
"FUCKIN' HELL!" Katsuki jumped back a bit, no form of Deku should EVER be capable of making a noise like that!
"Hisss!" Cat-zuku hissed as he coddled with Uraraka for a moment, "Uhh..." Cat-zuku turned and realized what he did and recoiled, putting himself back in his seat, his face redder than Kirishima's hair.
'Nooo, come back!' She mentally pleaded, her face was glowing red for a moment, but any embarrassment was worth it for Kitty Deku, god dang it!
"That was kinda badass!" Kaminari admitted while Kirishima nodded
"He's louder than you are.\I am!" Present Mic and Aizawa said in unison
"FUCK!" Mina cursed loudly as she threw her hands over her ears, "What is that!?" She looked overhead, the lightning and thunder stormed on but were put to shame by Izuku's colossal roar, it was then when she noticed the only light came from the stadium lights due to the suppressive black clouds. 'Midoriya...'
She looked down at the boy, who took another step towards Todoroki's form, 'what ARE you?'
Todoroki turned his head to the left enough to look at Izuku, steadily panting and for some reason, fighting off his urge to smile.
"Is that," He panted once more, "the best you can do?" the smoke became ever more prominent.
Izuku turned his head in clear confusion,
Now, anyone who's watched at least two action movies, and more than one Shonen Anime, will know damn well what this is.
*FYOOOSH!*
"GAH!" Izuku jumped back, watching a huge pillar of flames erupt in his direction.
'I'm proud of you Todoroki.' Cat-zuku praised him in silence
"Finally," Izuku mumbled to himself as he turned back to the flaming fighting force that was Todoroki, a crazed smile on his face. "I was waiting for this." He finished while cracking his knuckles
"SHOTO!" A prideful and huge voice broke through the storm, as a large heap of fire came running to the side of the stadium
'Really?!' Izuku shouted mentally
"I used to think that this part was kinda cool, but now he's just a dick." Jirou said.
"Glad we can agree on something." Katsuki said without taking his eyes off the screen.
"Yep\Uh-huh\Damn straight." The crowd stated
The Big-bad flame-fuck, as Izuku now refers to him as,
"Deku, I'd like you if you were like that more often." Katsuki gestured at the screen
"Please don't curse Deku." Uraraka had heard him do it quite enough already
started spouting some bullcrap about teenage rebellion, embracing his destiny or whatever. So he picked up the largest chunk of ice he could grab and started spinning around,
"200 yen says he's about to break Endeavor's legs with that thing." Kaminari stated as he started looking in his pockets
"Oh, you're on." Kirishima started digging into his pockets.
"RAH!" Izuku let go, and the small glacier went sailing through the air straight at the steadily increasing fireball that was The Big-bad flame-fuck.
"Tch." The corner of Todoroki's lip curved into a tiny smile, which Cat-zuku caught immediately.
"Huh!?" Endeavor looked up at the descending block of icy murder aimed at him, and with his highly trained reflexes, shot off a couple of fireballs from each hand, shattering it to bits
"OH COME ON!\DAMMIT!" Jirou and Katsuki yelled while Kaminari and Kirishima let out a small pout, despite Kirishima winning.
Todoroki felt loved
"SHUT! THE FUCK UP OLD MAN!" Izuku roared across the stadium, silencing anyone who tried talking to him.
'I've always wanted to do that to my old man.' Izuku thought with a small twisted smile
"Thanks, but why are you smiling?" Todoroki stated.
"Hey Deku," Katsuki started, "1: I'm stealing that 'Big-Bad Flame-Fuck' thing from you, and 2: Next time you see him, turn him into your scratching post."
'Wow, for him that was surprisingly supportive.'
"U-uh, sure Kaachan."
"Give him a kick to the fireballs from me." Jirou said while Momo murmured somthing about 'crudeness'
"If you can, suplex him!" Mineta cheered
"But one more thing," Todoroki's flames simmered down slightly while ice began to form on his right side, "What about you? You are strong, but show me what you're made of."
And without any sign or kind of warning, a tidal wave of ice emerged from his side, rising and descending upon Izuku. "Irk!" He took one step back stayed firm,
"I wanted to ask you something:" The scene changed to Izuku and All Might, him in cargo pants and a white shirt, while Izuku stood with a middle schooler's uniform
"Oh, one' a these!" Kaminari said while everyone took momentary glances from Cat-zuku to All Might and back to the screen.
"From my birth, my father raised me for one reason, to defeat you." Izuku looked down, took a deep breath and stared straight at All Might, "Even though my father is, and I was raised to be a Villian, can I even hope to be as great a hero as you?!" All Might's grinning face turned to Izuku
Koda was a sensitive boy, don't blame him for what he's about to do.
'But you already are, Young Midoriya.' All Might thought
A flash of light, and Izuku and Skinny All Might were both standing on an isolated street at the glowing orange sunset.
"Young man," All Might stretched his hand towards Izuku who looked teary-eyed, *Hic* Izuku tried holding it in, he truly did.
Inko and All Might smiled warmly at the screen, seeing their son\pupil achieve his dreams was nothing less than precious.
All Might turned his head a bit while he listened to a strange noise come from him, "Young man, are you... Purring?" Can lizards do that?
"Er, sorry." Izuku fake coughed into his hand, "That, uh, happens sometimes." At the moment, he almost looked like a big monstrous puppy, scary yes, but still a puppy.
'Dang it Deku.' Uraraka thought, 'You cute little thing.'
"Anyways Young Man, I don't care who your father is, you too can become a great hero."
"Dad Might." Mineta said
"Oh, all the way." Sero replied, to All Might's embarrassment.
"A great hero..." These words rang in his head, as a strange thing seemed to happen, he felt a surge of power from the innards of his spine and the tip of his tail.
"Is, is this it? The All Might killer?!" Present Mic shouted
Izuku's eyes glowed a bright navy blue as what sounded like an airplane engine starting to rev up
"I believe so." Nezu answered
His spines started to glow the same color as he opened his mouth as if to scream, the revving got louder
'If he turns into a tiny Mic, I'm leaving.' Aizawa thought
The back of his throat glowed blue as well, and at the same time, the lighting struck with more and more fury
'Changing the weather based on his mood and power levels... what the hell?' Katsuki thought
'ATOMIC-!' The energy formed a solid ball in his mouth as the ice was a mere 8 meters away
"HO SHIT!" Kaminari bounced in his seat
'BREATH!' The ice was at an arms-length when the beam was released. The camera zoomed out to about the perspective of a random watcher, and the energy looked ten times brighter than lightning, the revving stopped, and replaced with a roaring: *PWOOEOEOEOE!*
The beam pierced the ice wave's front and destroyed what was left in its wake, creating shockwaves of ice shards or merely evaporated it.
"WHOO!" Sero, Kaminari, and Mina whooped
The beam traveled farther, obliterating Todoroki's attack, and quicker than a bolt of lightning, Todoroki was face to face to it.
"Todoroki-Kun I-"
"No need Midoriya, it was a competition."
'Well fu-' Todoroki could only set out a thin ice-sheild before the blast carried him away on a stream of pure radiated power. The heat was unbearable, but he put as much ice as he could to his defense
"GAH!" The beam broke his sheild, giving him the full force of the beam before, *BOOM!*
Todoroki slammed into the stadium wall, creating a crater in his wake.
"M-M-Midori..." Words failed Mina and the audience
"I-I mean, he's packing some crazy power." Mina said, much to the crowd's agreement
'I hope this version of me gets to fight Deku.' Katsuki thought, 'But he could just shoot me out of the air when I try my Howitzer Impact...'
Izuku turned his head to his exact right, and fired again holding out the blast,
"Todoroki's not even there!" Kirishima shouted
"Todoroki's not-Er..." Kirishima scratched the back of his head, but what was he planning?
Izuku whipped his head from right to left, destroying the stadium wall and lighting it with a great flame, the shot turned to Izuku's back, showing that all he saw was a great wave of destruction and flames, topped off with the striking lighting above.
"That's so cool..." Eri said in awe
Jirou, unknown to most of her peers, was actually a big fan of action and this was... oh man this was on another level!
Izuku crossed his arms over his face in an X and leaned forwards while bending his knees.
Jirou got out her phone with a slightly dopey-er smile than was natural for her, more belonging to Kaminari
Momo turned to Jirou, who had also brought out her phone.
"KREEEEEEEEEEEEEEOUGH!"
Despite the earlier dosage of his roar, the audience still had a bit of an unpleasant experience
The camera turned to a jaw-dropped and star-struck audience and zoomed in on Shinso who sat in silence.
"...Dude...I could have died."
"I mean, is he wrong?" Sato asked
*TIME SKIP*
Izuku looked down at a tablet in his hands, 'It's only been a few days after the sports festival, and holy crap...'
"Hey! I wanna see me crush Deku!" Katsuki yelled, of course assuming that they were the last ones standing
"He'll talk about it, just hold on." Sith informed him
"Tch." Izuku's corner lip curled into a smile as he saw his internship offer number: right about 3900 and counting
'Still less than me.' Katsuki thought proudly
And second, at 3400, (and counting of course) sat Bakugo
"You spoke too soon." Sith said
"Uh, Mr. Sith?" Kirishima said, "Bakugo didn't say anything though."
"I read his mind." Sith informed
"How do you pick just one?" Izuku mumbled to himself, "Hey, Todoroki-San?"
"Hm?" Todoroki perked up, as he walked over, "What's up?"
With a sigh, Izuku pointed at the tablet, "Any advice?"
"Well, I'm going with my father-"
"Ugh..." Izuku rolled his eyes,
"I know, but, I'd suggest going with whoever will help you in a field you're struggling in, like how Uraraka's going with Gunhead to work on combat."
"Um, Mr. Sith?" Cat-zuku asked, "Being a god and all, could you... um."
Sith snapped his fingers and a notebook and pen landed on Cat-zuku's lap, "O-Oh, Thanks!"
"I suppose." Izuku said, and as Todoroki walked away, he thought about their conversation after the match:
"Hey," Izuku sat on a bench for some peace of mind for his last match against Bakugo, when he saw Todoroki stroll by.
"Hm?" Todoroki turned to him,
"Can you sit with me for a second, I want to ask you somthing." Izuku beckoned him to the seat
Todoroki and Izuku turned to each other with slightly confused expressions, this didn't happen.
Seeing no valid reason NOT to, Todoroki sat next to Izuku, "Well ok, but after I have somthing to tell you."
"Well, erm..." Izuku tried to find the right words and looked at his feet, "before our match we talked about our past."
"Yes, and?"
"We confided in each other the one thing we wouldn't to anyone else."
"Midoriya, I don't like where this is going." But Izuku's scaly tail grabbed his hand.
"TodoDeku." Mina whispered to Toru while Midnight and Mt. Lady cooed
"Please let me finish, we quite literally brought the best out of each other."
Cat-zuku's hairs stood on end as his skin went red like a strawberry, with his freckles\whiskers as seeds
"AND we helped each other with our family issues, what I wanted to ask you was:" Izuku looked right at Todoroki with hopeful slit eyes
"Does this mean we can be friends, Todoroki-San?"
"The Bromance, it's too much!" Kaminari said
With a tiny sigh, Todoroki scratched the back of his head. "It'd be a shame if we weren't Midoriya."
"Good," Izuku stated, "With three years here, it'd be a real shame to spend it all without a friend, right?"
"You'd be correct, I guess." Todoroki and Izuku sat in silence for a moment,
"Soo... Damn cute..." Mina said into her palms
"Midoriya, can you release my hand?"
"Oh, sorry." Izuku's tail released him.
Following this conversation was the absolute SLAUGHTER that was the last match,
"Hell yeah." Katsuki grinned
In which Izuku took off his suppressor necklace, and sent Katsuki into the thunderclouds with his "One for All: Red Spiral Atomic Breath", (Which All Might trademarked immediately.)
"All Might..." Aizawa rubbed his temples, as for Katsuki he did the same, using every bit of his will power not to ignite his own face.
"Hehe, sorry Baku-bro." Kirishima tried to comfort him.
Izuku sighed with satisfaction and browsed his options, Gang Orca was a good one, just like Izuku, he was big, terrifying but never-the-less, a hero.
*Time Skip*
Izuku wished he had more time to prepare for this, hero name selections were taking place, hosted by Midnight.
He was really impressed, some were actually pretty cool, he glanced at Tokoyami, now known as Tsukuyomi and then Uraraka.
The other Tokoyami nodded in approval, definitely happy with his choice while Uraraka looked flattered.
Some were... questionable, eyeing Bakugo.
"Hmph."
and one more thing: if Aayoma could call himself, 'Can't Stop Shining' why couldn't Mina be 'Alien Queen'?
"OH MY G- Thank you!" Mina yelled out, she loved the name Pinky, make no mistake.
Anyways, Izuku looked down at his own board, 'If she was turned down for that, I don't think Sensei would like this...'
Midnight called for the next person to come up, and Izuku sighed while getting up from his seat.
'Ooh, I wonder what it is!' Midnight wondered, she loved that the students were able to express themselves
"So it's different from Deku this time around..." Uraraka said aloud, but then she turned to Cat-zuku, "Hey Deku, in your world your hero name is Deku, right?"
"Hehe, actually, it's 'Deko' like Neko (Cat in Japanese) with a D." He explained while swishing his tail back and forth
...
...
... The sheer willpower and inner turmoil it took everyone in the room to not run up and coddle the emerald kitty forever and ever was astronomical, but they resisted
Still, Mina and Toru whined while Momo made two paper bags for her and Jirou to hyperventilate into, hell, Inko nearly broke into tears!
"I don't think you'll like mine, Sensei." Izuku informed her as he went to the front of the class,
"Oh nonsense Midoriya-Kun! Go right ahead!" She egged him on while moving to the left
"Alright then," He cleared his throat to make sure he won't mess up
He put his board on display for the class and looked straight at them with his firm and hopeful eyes, "From now on, I am: 'The King Of The Monsters: Godzilla'." And the screen faded to black
"Ok, that's badass!" Kaminari exclaimed,
"Heh, the name, the fight scene or-?" Sero tried to ask
"All of it, just, haha, all of it!"
"T-That was pretty cool." Cat-zuku said, wondering if it counted as bragging or not.
"APPROVED!" Midnight squealed with Mt. Lady while All Might thought it over, 'King Of Monsters? a powerful title, well done young Midoriya.'
"Hehe, so, ready for the next one everybody?" Sith asked, and all he was met with was a flurry of yes's.
