NOTE: The Blade of Tathagata can cut through anything Izuku wishes, this includes air. Also, Izuku always speaks to Pony in english
Izuku gripped the hilt of the long black katana and stood with the sword in his right hand. A feral grin growing on his face. Shouto smirked and let his flames grow hotter.
"Shall we?" Izuku yelled over the noise
"Why not" Shouto responded and Izuku sprinted forward.
Shouto aimed his hand at Izuku and fired a huge burst of flame
Izuku planted both feet and jumped clear of the flames, his trajectory leading right to Shouto.
He came down as Shouto dove away.
As Izuku landed, he swung the blade in a wide arc missing Shouto who aimed his arm at Izuku. Shouto saw the green haired teen smirk as he felt himself being pulled sharply towards Izuku.
The disruption enough for Izuku to spin and kick Shouto right in his chest.
Shouto hit the ground hard and rolled away throwing up a line of flames between the two
Izuku grinned and started pacing behind the flames
"Now this is interesting" Izuku growled
"What was that?" Shouto asked rubbing his sore chest
"You mean how I pulled you in, neat trick huh" Izuku's voice was dripping with excitement. He stopped and turned to Shouto. "I can show you up close"
Izuku swung the blade at the flames and it parted swiftly as he shot through the gap
Shouto on instinct fired a glacier from his feet, deactivating his fire
Izuku swung sharply cutting through the ice like it was nothing, he spun leg up and hit Shouto in the head. Shouto stumbled from the fhit and fired the fire at Izuku, who cut through the flames before punching Todoroki in the abdomen.
Shouto felt the force of the punch through his body, as he was sent stumbling back
Too strong,he thought as he lost his footing and hit the ground
"hehe, I overdid it" Shouto glared and activated his flames "Lets end this Shouto"
He let go and the black katana burst into black light, a black portal opened as the Sounga flew up into his hand. He raised it over his head and Shouto saw what looked like the misty form of a dragon wrapping itself around the blade
Shouto pushed his quirk to the max, blasting flames all around him.
"After this, we should spar sometime" Izuku said as Shouto raised his left hand
A purple black ball grew at the tip and Shouto shot out his flames. The massive torrent covering the stage heading for Izuku
"NOT THIS AGAIN" Mic stated in shock
"Brace yourselves" Aizawa called out
"Cementos stop them" Midnight shouted as the teacher made a pair of thick high walls to stop both attacks. But his walls were incinerated by the flames
Taking a deep breath, Izuku shouted loud
"Dragon twister!" he slammed the sword down releasing the purple hurricane that hit the flames creating a loud explosion of fire and violent winds that hit the crowd
Midnight was thrown off her podium and a few spectators were flung out of their seats as the flaming winds ripped through the stadium. Yells and screams were heard as the winds ripped through the place, carrying flames and debris. It was a few seconds before the force died down
"Well that happened" Aizawa looked at the gaping Hizashi who was on the floor. The destruction over but the field hosuing the two combatants was covered in dust and smoke.
Cementos looked on in wonder assessing the destruction "I know they are first years but this is incredible"
As the crowd slowly put themselves together, Midnight glared at the stage as she fixed her costume
"THE DUST IS CLEARING!" everyone leaned in closer in anticipation
As the dust and smoke slowly cleared, they could make out a lone figure standing on the stage. It seemed he was holding something
"WAIT A MINUTE!" Mic blurted
"Don't tell me he won" Aizawa was unhappy
The figure swung his arm and a gust of wind erupted clearing the stage. It revealed a smirking green haired boy who was pretty much unscathed
Midnight glared at the boy who turned his smirk to her and shrugged before pointing towards the wall opposite him
Todoroki Shouto was in a huge crater below the stands, bleeding all over with his uniform in tatters. He was motionless
"Hmmph, Shouto Todoroki is out of bounds, Izuku Midoriya wins" The green haired boy waved at his teacher before he sprinted off stage and proceeded to pry his classmate out of the crater he had put him in.
"WOW WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FINISH" Mic was genuinely impressed
"What else would you expect from that problem child" Aizawa drawled
...
"He's Hisashi Midoriya's son you know" All Might in his skinny form turned to the grinning chimera principal
"Surprising but it does show at times. His impeccable battle strategy, his fighting prowess and his vicious precision, I would say he reminds me of you a little" Nezu pointed out
All Might coughed out blood at that. He remembered how the boy had taken down Todoroki on his first day, the brutal nature was nothing like him. Also was the way he acted around All Might, that left the number one hero uneasy
Sitting in the skybox with the other staff of UA, All Might couldn't believe Nezu had made that comparison
"I beg to differ, we are nothing alike" Nezu's grin grew at that
"Oh really do I have to remind you of the grand entry of one hero to Japan, when you hunted down a certain evil mastermind" All Might went white at that. Waving the principal to keep it down as there were people around
"HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA"
He sighed in defeat " I see your point, though that boy seems wrong somehow. I feel like there's something dark lurking beneath his gaze"
"Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised, he is the son of that madman. We can only hope he doesn't show up here ever" Nezu stated amusedly
We can only hope. All Might felt a shiver go down his spine at the thought of Hisashi Midoriya in Japan.
The man was a dragon hiding in the hide of a snake, dangerous however you put him but also untouchable
"Yes we can only hope"
...
"What are you saying, she is still unconscious?" Izuku's rage was barely restrained. He had tried seeing Pony after depositing Shouto into the infirmary only to be told she was still under
The old woman sighing in defeat "yes, her damage was more extensive than I thought. That last attack gave her a bad head injury" His eyes shone with pure anger
"Head injury, I know what head injuries can lead to. So what you mean is he could have killed her?" Izuku asked
"I didn't mean that" she saw the expression on the boy's face "But yes there was a tiny possibility. Though Im sure Nezu would never allow it"
"Allow it, Bakugo wasn't even disqualified for doing that to her" his voice blared out
"Calm down boy" Recovery girl tried and failed to accomplish that
"Im very calm, or I would have chased him down and ripped him a new one" He stated through gritted teeth
I'm too old for this s#$t... Recovery girl thought. Young kids these days always getting into trouble
"When she wakes up ill find a way to let you know, until then shoo" she made a motion at the door
Izuku cast a glance at the closed drapes and stomped out of the room
"Definitely going to be a busy day" she muttered
...
"Iida Tenya has been called away due to a family emergency, Izuku Midoriya wins" He gnashed his teeth at that
Iida was gone, when did that happen?
He realized he had been so focused on Pony he hadn't even gone to see his classmates before his next match had started.
He walked back through the tunnel, clenching his teeth as Bakugo rounded the corner
The seething rage evident on both sides as they glared openly at each other.
"Well aren't you happy, going to the final on a forfeit" Bakugo sniped at Izuku
"Tch" Izuku walked past him
"Well I'll make sure to win quick so that we can finally settle things..Deku" Izuku came to halt at that word
He felt his control on his quirk slipping as the distorted voice rang in his mind
"lets get him"
"Not yet" Izuku reigned Nocte in
"no one will see"
"Whats the point of no one can see" He ended the mental talk and turned to the smirking blonde
"Ill be waiting" he stated and walked off towards the stands. He needed to find out what happened to Iida.
Bursting through the entrance, he heard the crowd erupt as Tokoyami and Bakugo were called in
"What happened to Iida?" he asked pointedly at Ochako, who jolted in her seat as the boy approached her
"He uh his brother had an incident and he was called" she stuttered under his intense gaze
"I see" So Ingenium was in trouble, he thought about it but couldn't figure out any prominent villains who would attack Ingenium.
Must have been a botched raid, Izuku thought
The groaning crowd brought his gaze back to the field, as he saw Bakugo standing over a downed Tokoyami. He seethed internally
"Fucking idiot" his muttering caught the attention of Kirishima who glared at the green haired boy
"Hey whats your problem with Bakugo anyway?" Kirishima asked
"Huh" Izuku was surprised by the boy's outburst, he always acted like a peacemaker. The class' attention was drawn to the two after that
"You are always hostile to him I get that you knew him but why do act like that?" Kirishima sounded ticked off
"Act like someone who genuinely hates someone, because I do hate him" the admission was shocking. The class knew the two weren't really civil to each other but to outright admit to hatred was beyond them "You are what his friend? Really, you barely know him"
"Yea but he's strong and smart and he has a great.."
"Never give up attitude yes I know, he is also an egotistical ball of rage, that will snap at you on a whim" Izuku's words shut Kirishima up. He had to admit that part was true "look I don't know you so well so let me tell you this, nothing good ever comes from hanging around Bakugo"
"Hey don't go making such insinuations bro"
"If you think im just blowing air, think again, because you are looking at his best friend for 12 years of his life and I wouldn't help him if he was falling down a cliff" The venom in Izuku's voice caused a few gasps to go around
"Ill just say this once, he is nothing but trash, don't ever think otherwise. Now pardon me, I have to go down and destroyed his ego" he walked off without waiting for another statement from Kirishima
Damn idiots always blinded by him, Izuku wondered if that was his actual quirk, fooling people. He got away with everything but no more, that would end today. He was going to crush Bakugo
...
Momo couldn't believe what she just heard. Yes she knew they didn't like each other but for Izuku to go as far as to say he would actually not try to help him if he were dying was a bit extreme. And his tone had actually left her scared for a moment. She wondered if he would actually hurt Bakugo intentionally if the chance arose
"How do you explain that bro?" She heard Kirishima talking to Ojiro
"I get you but you do realize they have a past don't know what happened" Ojiro tried to reason with Kirishima
"Ojiro's right, it could have been pretty bad to make those two hate each other...I mean Bakugo doesn't even hide it, he calls Izuku Deku, you do know what that word means don't you Kirishima" Sero explained and Kirishima seemed to go deep in his thought
Deku meant useless, she knew that but she also didn't know why Bakugo called Izuku that. Maybe it had to do with their past
Should she ask him later?
Would he even tell her?
He must have told Pony though?
She let out a deep sigh of defeat and sadness as that last thought replayed over and over. Jirou was watching her and again she wasn't happy
...
"NOW FOR THE GRAND FINALE OF THE FIRST YEAR SPORTS FESTIVAL IZUKU MIDORIYA VS KATSUKI BAKUGO" Mic stated feeling pumped
"Finally i can get some sleep after this" Aizawa crooned
"Are you two ready?" Midnight asked
Izuku barely moved glaring at the boy on the opposite side who had a feral grin on his face
Finally, i will defeat Deku and make him kneel before me...
Izuku's mind was blank of all thoughts but one
"Ready and Fight" Midnight yelled
Bakugo shot forward propelled with his explosions
"Come to me Nocte"
Izuku stood motionless as the blond aimed both hands and let out his biggest explosion immediately
BOOM
Izuku disappeared under the cloak of dust and flames, as Bakugo landed a bit backwards due to the force from the high alert
"Was that it Deku? i thought you said you'd break me" he yelled in glee
"YES I DID" the distorted voice blared from the dust.
As it settled Bakugo saw Izuku, with the black mass covering his upper body
"What the hell, Deku, you still wont win" he shot forward and the black mass rose up over Izuku's head engulfing him as Bakugo ignited another explosion right in Izuku's face
"Aren't you going to block, you are so full of yourself" Bakugo griped
"On the contrary Bakugo, i dont need to block" heavy footfalls grew as a ridiculously tall muscular monstrous black figure stepped out of the dust "I am beyond that now"
"What the hell" Bakugo took a step back
"Hell indeed, this is my nightmare and today its yours" tendrils with sharp white teeth began to grow out his back. What seemed to be his chest was littered with red eyes, all looking directly at Bakugo. Izuku looked down on the horrified Bakugo
"Scared are we Kacchan?" Bakugo shook his head and put his hand up his left hand supporting it. Izuku walked slowly towards him, his tendrils wobbling and whirling, His tail slamming around as he moved
BOOM
Bakugo let out his most powerful blast, obliterating half of the stage. He huffed in pain as he felt the rebound on his right wrist
"Dammit, i cant keep using them" he muttered to himself as a hand shot out of the dust and wrapped out his palm, with a tendril wrapping his other hand. Bakugo felt himself pulled in and stopped as he stared into the red eyes of what he assumed was Izuku
"Was that really your best move?" Bakugo flinched at the tone up close. The voice was cold and angry "you always did love exploding with your hands what if you didnt have them anymore" Bakugo's eye's widened at that
"I wonder what would happen if i broke them" The black lips curled up too far to be normal and Bakugo for the first time was truly scared of Izuku
"Let see" He tried to free himself by igniting explosion but Izuku didn't even react
"Wait dont!"
"Too late Kacchan" Izuku closed his hand sharply
The sharp rattle of broken bones permeated the air as Bakugo felt his bones get reconstructed
The teeth on the tendril shot towards the hand and bit into it, piercing through the hand, right down the bones and cartilage
"AAAAAAAH" Bakugo yelled
"AIZAWA WHAT IS HE DOING TO HIM" Mic asked shocked
"He's incapacitating him since he uses his hands mostly, but even i have to admit its a bit brutal" Aizawa analyzed
Izuku let go as Bakugo fell to his knees, his right hand bent in weird angles, his left hand with holes in them, blood flowing freely.
"hehe tasty" Izuku chuckled
"Damn you DEKU" he tried to swing a punch but a hand covered in red eyes burst from Izuku's chest and clasped his jaw tightly.
The hand extended and rose up, pulling the boy off his feet until he was dangling off the ground at a few feet
"I know you have alot to say really, but there is just one thing you should know" the hand shrunk back into Izuku enough for Bakugo to come in close
"You are nothing to me, not even a pebble not even an afterthought. Trash like you doesn't even deserve using any of my swords on you. i wont even use my own hands to throw you out" he wiggled his hands in Bakugo face and walked him towards to edge of the stage.
"Have fun" Instead of dropping him , he swung the third arm, sharply flinging Bakugo with a lot force right into the wall creating a tiny crater. Bakugo felt his body aching as he hit, massive pain shooting through his spine
"Midoriya Izuku wins" The entire crowd was stunned by this one sided display but also at the brutal ending. The black mass, flowed down off his head and slid off his body until, only the green haired teen clad in the gym uniform stood with a blank stare focused the boy on the ground.
Izuku sighed and walked back heading for the opposite tunnel. Finally he was done, now to see Pony but first..
...
He hit the last stair coming down from the commentary box. He had made a request with Mr. Aizawa and now that it was done, he was headed to see Pony
A hand clapped on his shoulder whirling him etched on his face, when he saw the heroine before him
"Huh you.."
"Yea me..i thought i should congratulate you, you have balls for doing what you did... i like that in a man" Izuku raised an eyebrow at the last word
"Im sorry but im pretty sure im still a minor" he said quickly even though he knew he was well beyond the age of consent
"Hehe cheeky brat, i just meant in a professional capacity, you are training to be a hero after all"
"Oh that" he rubbed the back of his head embarrassed at his mistake
"It would be fun if we can work together in the future" she smirked at the thought
"Really i thought you hated partners" Izuku pointed out
"Usually yes but for a psycho like you i'd make an exception" Izuku thought about that. She was confident and strong and also very good at her job. "That's all i needed to say to you so later kid"
As she was walking away, his eyes fell on her legs. He noted how long and shapely they looked, it reminded her of a certain brunette
An idea popped into his head
"Wait, i have a proposal for you" he called out to the heroine, who turned with a grin on her face
"Really? Let's hear it" she looked interested
...
"Im glad you won, at least this way, one of us got to the top though you have to admit beating Bakugo was fun" he fixed her with a heatless glare
"It was an added bonus true" she laughed lightly as he cracked a smile. They feel into a calm silence.
"Im sorry" he looked at her eyes to see them brimming with tears "Im sorry for losing, for making you worry and for making you stay here, you should be at the ceremony but.."
"Hey hey hey" his soft voice stopped her rumble
"stop that, I already ran the idea by Mr. Aizawa and its cool. Besides, I don't want my mother to have a tape of me receiving a medal, she'll cry each time she replays it and she'll replay it a lot" she giggled at his words
"There it is that's all I need right there" he comforted her
She shook her head as a tear fell
"Seeing you smile is all the prize I need" She couldn't believe the words that came out of his mouth but with the genuine calm and happy look on his face, she knew he wasn't lying
"Then promise me, Izuku, promise me that no matter what, we will always be friends" a soft smile grew on the boy's face as he brought up a pinky
"Ill do you one better a pinky promise" she chuckled sniffling through the tears and locked her pinky with his
"Friends forever" he said and they laughed lightly. Izuku settled back into his seat, Pony letting the bed caress her back. A comfortable silence between the two. Izuku put on his headphones, slowly bobbing his head.
"What are you listening to?" he smiled and took the headphones off unplugging them. He put his phone on loudspeaker. A smile played across her face as the song played on, the two friends were finally at peace today as Candy Paint echoed in the space between them
