"Shield... I have a single question for you" Todoroki stated, his piercing gaze stabbing Melissa, "...Are you All Might's illegitimate child?"
"Wha- NO!?" Melissa shouted, bewildered, "My dad and Uncle Might are best friends! Uncle Might wouldn't betray my father like that! Also, I'm pretty sure Uncle Might doesn't really care about that stuff". What the blonde said was true. Even the thought of All Might being her father, made her chuckle.
Meanwhile, around the corner, Kirishima and Izuku were both restraining Bakugo from laughing and giving away their location.
"Regardless, you are both connected" Todoroki looks down, before sighing, "My father... Endeavour" Shouto spits out the name as if it were a curse, "has been number 2 for as long as I can remember and since you're close to the number one... I need to win all the more".
Bakugo stopped laughing, his amusement replaced with annoyance. Remember, when dealing with the biggest flight risk known to man, don't try to disregard them.
"But why? It shouldn't be your fight!" Melissa wisely responds. Todoroki pauses, looking down, before looking right into Melissa's eyes.
"Do... Do you know about quirk marriages?" All those in the vicinity apart from Melissa widened their eyes in realisation. Izuku remembered the emotions that Todoroki and Endeavour practically irradiated. Shit.
Todoroki began telling Melissa about his past, about how he was just a eugenics experiment. It made her sick to the core.
"And that is why I will become number one with only my right side. This is my total disavowal of Endeavour..." Todoroki walks past Melissa, away from the hiding boys, to the outside, "And tell Midoriya thank you. My father uses his raw fire to fight, just as I used to use my ice in its raw. Thanks to Midoriya, even my style is different." Huh, who knew a passing sentence from Izuku would have such an effect on the boy.
As Todoroki continues walking away, Melissa looks down for second, thinking.
"Todoroki," She called, snapping the attention of the heterochromatic boy, "I... I won't pretend to understand what you are going through... but all the same, I won't lose. There are people who've helped me reach this far, without them I'd be nothing..." Memories of training with All Might and the USJ incident flashed in her head, "So I won't give up..." She looks at the boy dead in the eyes, "I'm going to beat you!" Determination shone through her eyes; the declaration of war apparent between the two of them. Shouto silently nods, he knew that he wouldn't rise smoothly.
The two students walk away from each other. One had a flame burning in her heart, the other, a raging blizzard that would freeze anything in its path.
Bakugo, Kirishima and Izuku went off their separate ways, none of them wished to talk of what they heard, be it out of disgust of Endeavour or respect for Todoroki's privacy.
The Arena
"WHAT HAPPENED TO CLASS 1-A?" Present Mic screamed into the microphone. The afternoon break was over, and everyone had returned to the arena, only to see that the girls of 1-A had shown up in cheerleader outfits.
"I believe, Kaminari and Sero have decided to prank us" Yaoyorozu said, a vein popping on her head in annoyance.
"Perhaps we should teach them a lesson..." Jirou glared darkly, whilst also trying to not blush at Momo.
"Oh damn! Look at Shield!" Kaminari whispered to Sero. He was looking at Melissa who was currently jumping up and down along with Hagakure, who was also having fun. "Quick, take a vid-" Fortunately, the lighting blonde couldn't finish that sentence, as he was sucker punched by a crimson blur.
"Not manly bro" Kirishima glared, shaking his head in disappointment. Though, his face went as red as his hair when he saw Melissa waving a thanks at him.
Soon, all the students went in front of the stage, waiting for Midnight to announce the final event.
"Hey, boys and girls!" Midnight shouted, "It's the moment you've all been waiting for, THE FINAL EVENT!" The crowd cheered, excited for what it'll be, "From four teams, 16 individuals passed, so we'll be having a one-on-one tournament!"
"YEAH! I get to beat up fucking Deku AND IcyHot!" Katsuki grinned, "I'm going to fuck everyone up"
"Don't be so sure about that, Kacchan" Izuku responded to the groan of the blonde.
"Now, using computer generation, here are the matchups!" She stepped to the side, and everybody looked at the screen.
Match 1: Ejirou Kirishima VS Melissa Shield
Match 2: Denki Kaminari VS Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu
Match 3: Mei Hatsume VS Momo Yaoyorozu
Match 4: Shouto Todoroki VS Ibara Shiozaki
Match 5: Ochako Uraraka VS Mina Ashido
Match 6: Katsuki Bakugo VS Kaida
Match 7: Fumikage Tokoyami VS Hitoshi Shinsou
Match 8: Izuku Midoriya VS Iida Tenya
"Midoriya!" Iida shouted, waving his arms in the usual robotic manner, "It will be a pleasure of battling you!" To those who never met the boy, they would assume that he was being polite, but to those who knew him, they could tell he was nervous.
Meanwhile, Kaida and Ibara were both on their knees praying.
"So, I'm facing you, bird brain" Shinsou sneered, walking past Tokoyami. And then he started thinking if it was racist or not. It was meant to just be a schoolyard insult, not bullying. Shit.
"Hey, isn't that racist? Cuz I'm pretty sure that's racist!" Dark Shadow said, popping out of Tokoyami.
Soon everyone went away to the bleachers, or corridors to plan their fight.
1 Hour Later...
"HEY GUYS, ARE YOU READY!?" Present Mic screamed into the microphone, "IT'S THE EVENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR, THE BATTLES! FOR OUR FIRST MATCH, WE'VE GOT A REAL TREAT" At one gate, Melissa stood ready to enter, a tad nervous. By the other, Kirishima was shaking in his boots.
"MATCH 1! SHE MADE A BIG IMPRESSION FIRST ROUND AND SHE'S READY TO SMASH THROUGH THE TOP! SAY HELLO TO MELISSA SHIELD!" Melissa walked out of the entranced and to the stage, looking around at all the people cheering and all the cameras flashing.
"NOW, HE'S THE MANLIEST STUDENT I KNOW AND IS MORE OR LESS UNBREAKABLE, IT'S EJIROU KIRISHIMA!" Kirishima took a deep breath and walked to the arena.
As Present Mic started to say the rules, Kirishima looked at Melissa, who was deep in thought, before she looks up to Kirishima, "Hey, Ejirou," She started, causing Kirishima to blush a bit, "After this fight, no hard feelings?" She'd rather not lose a friend of hers to some festival.
"Yeah, don't worry about it!" Kirishima replied, "It's unmanly to hold grudges" Melissa laughed a bit, before taking up a stance, ready for battle.
"And now, with all that out of the way, let's get ready to RUMBLE!" The crowd cheered, excitied for the first fight of the day, "WHO'S GOING TO WIN, THE SHIELD, OR SHIELD? ONLY TIME WILL TELL! STAAAAART!"
"That joke was horrible" Aizawa complained through the microphone.
As soon as the pro-hero said start, Melissa turned on One For All through her entire body.
"I still can't believe you figure how to do that today" Kirishima said, dashing to his opponent with a hardened fist. He swung the rock-solid punch at Melissa, who narrowly dodged.
"Thanks! I'm thinking of giving it a name... How about Maximum No Chill?" Melissa asked, running back at Kirishima, who looked quite perplexed.
"Wait, what?"
"5% MAXIMUM NO CHILL!" Melissa screamed, as she kicked Kirishima right by the jaw with 5% of One for All. The force of the impact threw the scarlet boy back, almost off the edge of the arena.
"AMAZING FOLKS! IT LOOKS AS IF SHIELD HAS MADE HER OWN SUPER MOVE ON THE SPOT! IT LOOKS LIKE KIRISHIMA IS GONNA HAVE SOME TROUBLE!" Present Mic shouted, hyping up the arena.
"Though I have problems with the name of the move. It sounds childish and illogical" Aizawa complained, rather depressingly.
"WAY TO BRING THE MOOD DOWN ERASER!"
"It's because I left my anti-depressants at home"
"SINCE WHEN DID YOU USE ANTI-DEPRESSANTS?"
"I don't"
After chuckling at the interaction between the two announcers, the audience reverted their attention back at the battle.
"Ouch that hurt" Kirishima winced, before quickly turning up to Melissa, "Wait, that was 5% of your power?"
"Yeah! Any more than 20% would start breaking my bones, and even at 20% I would be in a lot of pain. Though, this is all hypotheses, since I haven't really tested it out." Melissa admitted, before dashing to Kirishima again, "NO CHILL KICK!" She swung her foot at Kirishima, red lightning trailing off her. Unfortunately, this time, Kirishima was ready, and blocked her attack with his hardened fist.
"NOT THIS TIME!" Kirishima shouted, using his free fist to punch Melissa in the gut. She fell down from mid-air and spat out some blood. Though worried, he couldn't let his guard down. He was relieved though when she got up with a grin.
"Alright that's it!" Melissa declared, determination on her face, "10% MAXIMUM NO CHILL!" The lightning around her grew more violent and manic, as she felt aching by her bones. Kirishima knew that this next bout would be the decider. He hardened every inch of his skin and already he was feeling the effects.
"NO CHILL KICK!" Melissa jumped into the air and swung her foot on target with Kirishima's face. And instead of blocking, Kirishima punched her foot with a hardened fist. The two limbs collided creating a shockwave. The collision destroyed the grounds beneath, rubble went everywhere, the dust blocking the view of the battlegrounds.
"WHAT AN ATTACK!" Present Mic shouted, "THESE TWO STUDENTS HAVE DESTROYED THE ARENA! AND IT'S ONLY THE FIRST MATCH! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN FEEDING THIS KIDS, ERASER!"
"I'm pretty sure Kirishima lives only Monster Energy Drinks and Beef Jerky." Aizawa commented, "But I promise you, they came like that"
As the dust fade away, the crowd could make out two dark figures. One laid on the ground, the other stood tall, head looking to the sky as they panted in tiredness.
"WELL, WE HAVE OUR FIRST WINNER OF THIS EVENT FOLKS" Present Mic cheered, "MELISSA SHIELD HAS WON!" The crowd cheered at the victory, and though her clothes were a bit tattered, Melissa was relieved it was done, before the realisation that there would still be two more fights she would have to do after this.
"Damn, I'm already out, though at least it was with a bang" Kirishima let out a disappointed chuckle, "But seriously, 'Maximum No Chill'?" He looked to Melissa who was rather sheepish.
"I watched a series of videos on Youtube and one of the characters had a move called that" She admitted, "And I thought it sounded cool" She looked to Kirishima, who was struggling not to laugh. "Hey!"
"I can just imagine people calling you some title like the 'No Chill Hero', though that does sound pretty manly!" Kirishima laughed.
"Ha Ha Ha" Melissa sarcastically laughed, before reaching her hand out to Kirishima, "Alright, let's go, Ejirou".
The pair left the arena and to Recovery Girl's office, with people clapping at their sportsmanship. Both were proud with their performance, though Kirishima had a few more fractured bones than he would rather have.
Meanwhile in the Class 1-A Bleachers
"I ship it" The rest of 1-A said in unison, (apart from Todoroki and Bakugo) as they all agreed the power of the KiriShield ship.
"Oh, shit I'm next" Kaminari swore, as he got up from his seat, "This is gonna suck". Unfortunately, the blonde boy didn't know his opponent's quirk, because he forgot to watch Team Todoroki fight in the tower.
"Hey, Dunce Face" Bakugo shouted, to Denki's surprise, "Steel conducts electricity".
"...What?" Kaminari received a glare, which meant that perhaps it was time to head out.
5 Minutes Later
"Excuse me! Mr Kirishima! Could I ask some questions quickly? I'm a journalist for the Daily Musutafu!" Kirishima had walked out Recovery Girl's office, whilst Melissa was still there, talking about something private with the medical hero. Kirishima didn't know what they were talking about, and assumed the worst like the... monthly thing that girls tend to get.
"Oh, uh sure I guess" Kirishima answered nervously. The journalist got their notepad and pen out, eyeing Kirishima like prize money.
"Thank you, firstly, how do you feel about your performance in this fight?"
Rather abashed, Kirishima thought about it before answering, "I... I think I did alright, but in the end, Melissa was just a better fighter, I guess. She's smarter and her quirk makes her strength and speed better than mine."
The journalist grew a smirk on their face, "~Oh~? Melissa? So are the rumours about you and Shield dating true?"
Kirishima grew a blush and became extremely flustered, "WHA-!? No! Nah! W-We're not dating!" The journalist's smirk grew even wider, signalling to the crimson haired boy that it was time to leave, "Uh... I gotta go... poop" Before he immediately dashed off faster than Iida.
10 minutes Later
"Hey, Romeo and Juliet" Izuku waved, as the two participants from the battle earlier came into the stands.
The two blushed, before Mina chided Izuku, "You can't just make fun of our resident lovebirds like that!".
"Speaking of birds," Izuku started, "Twitter is fully onboard the KiriShield train" He lifted his phone to show them all the memes that were already made.
Kirishima was absolutely dead. Tears of blood going to his face. "This is going to become a running joke, isn't it?" He despaired.
"Alright guys, let's go watch Kaminari now" Melissa sighed, before worryingly looking at Kirishima's expression, "Does he hate the idea of possibly dating me that much?" But she quickly removed that though at once. Best not to dwell on it.
The arena
Thanks to the hard work of Cementoss, the arena had returned to its original state, as if the battle before had never happened.
"WELCOME BACK FOLKS! THANKS TO THE WORK OF CEMENTOSS, THE ARENA IS RESTORED AND THE TOURNAMENT CAN GET GOING!" Kaminari stood by one gate, Tetsutetsu by the other. They thought of the ways they could best each other. Denki was trying to think desperately of what Bakugo meant. Was the stage made of steel? No, then Cementoss wouldn't be able to fix it.
"MATCH 2! HE'S GOT AN IRON WILL AND SKIN STRONGER THAN STONE! SAY HELLO TO THE IMPENATRABLE WALL OF 1-B, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu!" Present Mic announced. The silver haired boy ran onto the stage basking in the glory. Though many were chuckling at the boy's unfortunate name.
"Kid really got the short end of the straw when it comes to na-" Aizawa commented before being stopped by Present Mic who was whispering something about not bullying children.
"ANYWAY, OUR OTHER CONTESTANT IS GOING TO GIVE US A SHOCK, WITH HIS LIGHTNING-FAST ATTACKS, GIVE IT UP FOR DENKI KAMINARI!" As the blonde boy slowly walked to the stage, Present Mic pointed out something, "WHY, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! DENKI KAMINARI IS... IN THOUGHT! TRULY A MIRAC- OUCH!"
"Who was the one talking about not bullying the students?" Aizawa chuckled, hitting Mic on the head.
"Okay, okay!" Present Mic conceded, before going back to announcing, "ANYWAY, YA'LL KNOW THE RULES, SO MATCH, START!" The two competitors looked shocked, thinking they were going to be read out the rules, before they looked at each other.
"Let's have a battle of pure manliness!" Tetsutetsu declared, a grin on his face.
Kaminari looked both confused and shocked, "You... You wouldn't happen to be related to Ejirou Kirishima, right?" He asks. The two were practically twins, with their declarations of manliness.
"Who? Wait! You're trying to distract me!" Tetsutetsu shouted rather smugly, as if he had figured out Kaminari's entire (non-existent) plan. "Now, let's fight!" He turned his body into steel and charged at Denki.
As the alloy-bodied boy was only a few moments before colliding with Kaminari, time froze for the lightning haired boy.
"What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?" He rapidly thought in his head, "WAIT!"
He remembered what Bakugo had said 10 minutes earlier.
"Hey Dunce Face! Steel conducts electricity"
So that's what he meant.
Time started back again, and Kaminari let the lightning go through his body once more. His hand crackled with electricity, and as the steel boy's fist neared his face, Kaminari touched his opponent's arm with his hand, pausing him in his tracks. The lightning seeming went inside Tetsutetsu's steel body, as the boy stopped mid-punch.
Reverting back to his flesh form, the silver haired boy fell to the ground, out cold. Midnight went up to check on him, putting a finger to his neck, before signalling to the Announcer's box.
"WHAT A MATCH FOLKS! IN ALL BUT FEW SECONDS, KAMINARI WON THE MATCH!" The crowd cheered at the excellent performance, though they hoped the rest of them wouldn't be as short.
"And that kids, is why it's necessary for heroes to learn science and other subjects." Aizawa informed, "This matchup was against Tetsutetsu from the beginning."
"AWW, look at you being all educational!" Mic joked, causing the audience to laugh and Eraserhead to grumble, "NOW FOLKS, THE NEXT MATCH WILL HAPPEN IN 10 MINUTES, SO CAN MEI HATSUME AND MOMO YAOYOROZU HEAD TO THE WAITING ROOMS!"
3 minutes later...
After an extremely quick check up from Recovery Girl, he left the medical room almost as fast as he finished his match.
"Yo~!" Kaminari turned around to see a cute girl, just a bit older than Denki, who looked like she was an idol or some character from a shoujo anime. She wore a pink button shirt with a knee-high skirt which showed her thighs. Her hair was the most surprising thing about her as it was neon pink. She was a little bit taller than Kaminari and was well-curved. "I'm Aki-Chan and I'd really appreciate if you could answer some questions for my channel!"
Denki could feel a nosebleed coming on, "Y-Yeah! 'Course!" The idol pulled a camera and started talking.
"Soo~… What kind of girls do you like Denki?" Kaminari felt a little bit faint.
"Wha- I... thought you were going to ask about the f-fight!" Denki stuttered. Not that he was one to focus on serious stuff, but question she asked were rather... awkward.
"But my viewers would ~love~ to know more about an up-and-coming hero student like yourself" She smiled. With that single comment, Kaminari fell to his simp side.
"Well... I guess my kind of type would be your type, Aki-Chan" Kaminari blushed. The idol-esque girl giggled.
"Aw, how adorable" Aki responded, causing Kaminari to mentally celebrate.
The two continued to do the interview, Kaminari attempting to flirt and Aki brushing it off. When it ended she left, not before giving Denki a peck on the cheek. The boy was on a high like no other.
1-A Stands
"Looks like it's my turn!" Momo said, "She'll be hard opponent though..."
"But she's just a support student?" Sero questioned, the snickers of some, making him more confused.
"That's exactly why." Jirou explained, "She's able to bring in support items which are able to replicate quirks to an extent, and since we don't know what she has, including her unknown quirk, she's going to be pretty strong."
"Wow, you took the words right from my mouth, Jirou!" Momo praised, causing the emo girl to blush, "Though, I do believe she only brought movement-based support gear, judging from what I glimpsed in the previous rounds..." She started leaving and when she was halfway through the door, Jirou called for her.
"Hey, Yaoyorozu!" Jirou shouted, before becoming all nervous, "G-good lu-" Unfortunately for the punk teen, she couldn't finish her support since a certain blonde barged in
"YO YO YO! GUESS WHO FUCKING WON GUYS!" Kaminari screamed as he entered the booth, he was still riding that ectasy feeling from his interview. "HEY BAKUBROSKI! THANKS FOR THE ADVICE DU-!" Luckily, Sero taped his mouth up, and then taped him to the back wall, because as the entire class learned, a celebratory Kaminari is an annoying Kaminari.
"That's an even worse name than Kacchan" Izuku winced as he saw Bakugo walk up to Kaminari, rather angrily.
"I will be going now!" Momo shouted, quickly leaving since she'd rather not deal with the aftermath of Bakugo. Iida also regretted this task but accepted it as his role of vice-president.
Jirou wallowed in disappointment and was now planning all the things she would do the utterly kill Kaminari.
10 Minutes Later...
The Arena
"ALRIGHT FOLKS! IT'S TIME FOR OUR THIRD MATCH!" Present Mic announced, "IN ONE CORNER, WE HAVE THE ONLY SUPPORT COURSE STUDENT TO HAVE MADE IT IN THE FINAL EVENT IN 5 YEARS! GIVE IT UP FOR MEI HATSUME!"
Mei walked out of the gate, people cheering for her, though she didn't care. No, what she was looking for were notable support company representatives and executives. She grinned when she saw several CEOs of recognisable brands. Soon the whole world would see the power of her babies.
"AND IN THE OTHER CORNER, WE RECOMMEND YOU KEEP AN EYE ON THIS CREATIVE GENIUS! SAY HELLO TO MOMO YAOYOROZU!"
Momo came out of the gate, a determined look on her face. She could do this. She had to. She was more than some pretty heiress. She was a hero student!
"Hey there, creation girl!" Mei greeted, "Have you thought about my offer?" Earlier, the pink haired girl had proposed that Momo test some of her 'babies' on the stage, and in return Mei would walk off the stage and thus give Yaoyorozu a free win.
To Mei's surprise, Momo rejected on the basis on pride and respecting the effort of the other contestants by giving it her all. She also advised Mei, using her private lessons in economy, investment and business, that support companies would be more interested in her if she showed their prowess in an actual battle.
"I'm afraid it's still a no, Hatsume" Momo denied.
"COMBATANTS, GET READY!" Present Mic shouted, "START!"
Immediately Momo created a tranquilizing gun, hoping it would help get the match over and done with. Unfortunately, Mei wouldn't be going down without a fight. On her back she wore a silver looking backpack, which when she pressed a button lifted her into the air.
Momo mentally cursed, before aiming her tranquilising gun. She fired the dart at Mei, and for a second, she had hope. But Mei neatly dodged out of the way.
"LESS THAN 10 SECONDS INTO THE BATTLE AND WE ALREADY HAVE PROMISES OF AN-" Mic started before the microphone suddenly stopped.
"Hello everyone!" Momo looked up to see Mei speaking into a microphone in her hand, "As you obviously know, I'm Mei Hatsume, and I've commandeered the sound system! Sorry Loud Teacher and Hobo Hero!" The audience, whilst shocked, chuckled at the girl's audacity, "Now as some of you can see, I'm currently using a jetpack of my own creation! It runs on-" But before the pink haired girl could continue, she fell down to the ground (luckily she was only a few feet above).
"OUCH! What was that!" She shouted, before checking up on her jetpack. She started pressing the button several times, but it was turning on, "NOOOOO! MY BABY!" She then turned to Yaoyorozu with a glare like none other, "HOW DARE YOU HURT MY BABY!" Hatsume stands up, pressing something by her boots, "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD THE HOVER SOLES!" She starts flying to the air ad charges at Momo at rapid speeds.
In response, Yaoyorozu creates a staff in the last second, and swings it at Hatsume. The swing lands on the support student, a small crack could be heard by the two girls but was ignored. The pink haired girl throws several balls beneath Yaoyorozu, and the heiress steps back, cautiously. Steam arises from small holes in each of the capsules. Filling the battle stage.
"SAY HELLO TO THE STEAM CAPSULES!" Mei shouts, "IT LASTS TWO TIMES LONGER THAN THE AVERAGE SMOKE GRENADE AND DOESN'T HARM YOUR LUNGS OR BODY!" The audience clapped
Back at the Stands
"Wow, I guess you were right Jirou!" Sero exclaimed, "I was not expecting this... or anything that happened so far!"
"Mmmf!" Kaminari muffled, trying to talk through the tape. Jirou had drawn several things on his face, which included a moustache and a lightning scar reminiscent of Harry Potter.
"Wouldn't Hatsume's support gear get damaged by the steam though?" Ashido asked, "Like steam is water as a gas, right?"
"Wow, Ashido! That's like the smartest thing I've ever heard from you!" Dark Shadow said, making Ashido pout in annoyance.
"For your information, Ashido, UA highly encourages their students to make their support gear as resistant to the elements as possible, and naturally water-resistance is near the top of that list" Melissa informed, causing everyone to look at her questioningly, "What? My dad's literally one of the best inventors on the planet. You think I wouldn't know about common practices in Japan's Number 2 Support Course?"
"Number 2?" Kaida questioned.
"Yeah, Number 1 is a school in Chiba which primarily focuses on Support instead of Heroics." Melissa explained.
"Anyway, who do you guys' think is going to win?" Sero asked, not really paying attention to the conversaton.
"I think Yaoyorozu" Izuku answered, "She has more versatility and experience, plus Hatsume probably has no more tricks up her sleeves."
"Oh! I think I can see the steam fading!" Kaida shouted, as she flew up to get a better view.
Back At the Fighting Stage
Momo panted, tired. The steam grenades or whatever had made the floor wet when the steam had condensed. The young heiress didn't even bother with attacking the inventor. Without being able to see, there was a chance that Momo would walk off the stage or walk into Hatsume.
Of course, Hatsume had modified her goggles to be able to see through the steam, so she attacked Yaoyorozu as much as she could. Whilst she did get few clean kicks, Momo was alert as possible to dodge the support student's attacks.
When the steam had disappeared, Momo decided enough was enough.
"OH MY FUCKING LORD, DID SHE JUST MAKE A GOD DAMN MINIGUN?" Present Mic screamed, before realising the microphone was back on, "WE HAVE SOUND AGAIN BABY!"
"And you've also cursed on live TV, leaving millions of parents having to explain their child what 'Fuck' means" Aizawa responded, "Great job, Loud Mouth." Present Mic immediately apologised.
"Damn it!" Mei shouted, "My microphone is busted... Wait did he say minigun?" She looked to her opponent was indeed holding a rather large minigun.
"Taste rubber, cretin" Momo said before firing her weapon. Immediately, Mei started up her hover boots, moving out of the way of the rubber bullets, but, unfortunately, Momo was a good aim. The moment a bullet hit Mei's leg, the inventor knew it was over.
The reason Momo didn't use it at the beginning, which probably would've saved some time, was due to the fact that while rubber bullets aren't lethal, up close they hurt a lot. And if a rubber band by itself could sting, imagine how bad a rubber bullet was. She would rather not hurt her opponent so much if it wasn't needed. Plus, she treated the minigun as a sort of trump card and would rather see Hatsume's hand before dealing out her own.
With Hatsume on the ground, it didn't take Momo much effort to knock her off stage.
"GIVE IT UP FOR THE WINNER OF THE THIRD MATCH, MOMO YAOYOROZU!" The crowd cheered, clapping for the longest match yet, and the efforts from both opponents. "AND LOOK AT THIS, IN AN SHOW OF SPORTSMANSHIP, YAOYOROZU IS HELPING HER OPPONENT TO RECOVERY GIRL! TRULY HEROIC BEHAVIOUR!"
"I'm going to batter Snipe for teaching that girl how to use guns. It's too much power" Aizawa groaned.
"NOW, CAN IBARA SHIOZAKI AND SHOTO TODOROKI GO TO THEIR WAITING ROOMS!"
Later...
In front of Recovery Girl's Office
"...So, if you ever need some pure Tungsten, then just call me" Momo offered her new friend. As the two left the arena, they conversated quite a bit, a friendship of sort between the two. Hatsume was excited by all the possibilities of Momo's quirk and with the many powerful 'babies' she could create.
"Miss Yaoyorozu, Miss Hatsume, could we get an interview?" The Momo shrugged and nodded whilst Mei looked like she wanted to go somewhere else, to the female reporter and the cameraman behind her.
"Thank you! Now, act natural" She informed, before turning to the camera.
"Going live in 3... 2... 1" The cameraman announced.
"Good afternoon, everyone. I'm here today at the UA sports festival with two of the contestants of the previous match." She introduced, talking to the camera. Then Momo saw the logo of which news source they were part of. NHK General TV. The biggest news channel in the Kanto region. Crap. She was starting to get nervous.
"Miss Yaoyorozu, how do feel about your performance in the previous match?" The reporter asked.
Momo called in all her media training her parents and tutors had taught her, considering she was the heiress of one of the richest companies on the planet, "I believe I did quite adequate in the match. My opponent for one was a wild card as I had no idea of what support items she would bring in and how she would use. I also believe she didn't use her quirk the entire time. Mei Hatsume is definitely a good opponent, and I for one am definitely going to be a client of Hatsume Industries should she desire to open her own support company".
The reporter was a bit surprised Yaoyorozu's profession attitude before turning to Mei.
"It was alright" She shrugged, "Anyway, I'm going now." And with that she walked off, not bothering with the protests of the reporter.
"Honestly..." Momo sighed before going back to the interview.
Meanwhile...
Todoroki looked up to his father. Visible disgust and annoyance on his face. "Go away." He said rather coldly. He was on his way to the waiting rooms and then found the big ball of flaming shit in his path.
"Do not dare speak to me like that child" The Number Two hero stood against the wall, looking down to his son, "Your performance today has been poor, Shouto" Endeavour criticised, "Playing around with that ice and making toys instead of using the power of your left. What a shame. You would've been first in the obstacle race and cleared the tower by half the time you did today."
As Shouto continued walking he tried his best to ignore the fire hero's words.
"You are my masterpiece, Shouto." Endeavour stated, "So act like it! You are different from your siblings, so stop behaving like them."
"As if you knew how my siblings feel and behave. Otherwise, you would've been able to save Touya and I would've actually gotten to know my brother" Todoroki remarks snidely, causing Endeavour's fire to burn furiously, "You think I wouldn't remember my brother? I asked Fuyumi about him. I guess it goes to show that you really are the worst father. So, hear this. I. Will. Not. Use. Your. Power. Understand?" He briskly leaves, not wanting to hear Endeavour's response.
But let's just say that Nedzu had to get an entire corridor fixed from arson.
1-A Stands
"Look! Yaoyomomo is back!" Mina announced, causing everyone to turn to see Momo come in. To their surprise, Momo had came back with several rolls of hotdogs, other fatty foods, a WHOLE lot of guacamole and a 1L bottle of water.
"Damn, is Yaoyorozu a foodie?" Kaminari asked, receiving a headphone wack from Jirou.
Momo blushed, embarrassed, "I have to eat fatty foods to regain the lipids I used in the fight. And if I'm right on who I think will win this match, I'm going to have to use a lot of fat."
"Oh? Who do you think will win then?" Izuku asked, curious.
"From what I saw in Round 2, Shiozaki's vine hair have the same properties as regular plants" The heiress explained, "And considering Todoroki is an ice user..." She let the rest fill in the blanks.
"Hey, extras." Bakugo called, "It's about to start." The class looked down to the arena to watch the upcoming match.
Arena
"ALRIGHT! IT'S TIME FOR MATCH 4, EVERYONE!" Present Mic shouted. How that man's voice hasn't been worn out yet, is a question which no one can answer. Todoroki started walking out of his gate, making Present Mic give his introduction, "HE'S YOUR KNIGHT IN SHINING ICE AND ALWAYS GIVING THAT COLD SHOULDER, IT'S SHOUTO TODOROKI!" The crowd cheered, excited for Todoroki as they remembered his performance from the second event.
"NOW, SHE'S THE VINE QUEEN OF 1-B AND CAN SOMEHOW MAKE THE SUN SHINE UPON HER, IT'S IBARA SHIOZAKI!" The plant-based girl walked into the arena, determined to beat Todoroki. Yet, she saw his performance at the tower. Right in front of her, he had taken out an entire floor in one move. And she still wasn't sure how she ended up on his team, much to the annoyance of her classmates.
"ALRIGHT, IT'S TIME! 3... 2... 1... START!"
Immediately Shiozaki unleashed her vines. She had to take him out as fast as possible. All she had to do was overwhelmed him with vines, and he wouldn't be able to make any weapons. But as soon as her vines reached the heterochromatic boy, they fell to the ground, detached from the rest of her hair. In front of her, Todoroki stood with icy scythe in his hands, his cold glare piercing through Ibara more than any sword he could forge.
Once again, she attacked with her vines, this time making them dig below the arena to get her opponent unawares. But Todoroki realised what she was trying to do, so he put his hand to the ground and covered the entire battlefield in ice. Shit. The situation was against Ibara. She muted the sound of Present Mic in her head, it was just distracting her. But what could she do? He was literally the perfect way to beat her. She could feel her vines dying in the cold. If they died, it would take far too long for them to grow back, and it would severely impact her studies.
So, she sighed and looked to Midnight who was shivering in her skin-tight costume, "I give up". She would have to ask the lord for his forgiveness for losing so quickly.
"GIVE IT UP FOR THE WINNER OF MATCH 4, SHOUTO TODOROKI!" The crowd clapped for the boy's victory; a bit miffed that the Shiozaki had given up but understood the possible reasons why.
Later...
"Mr Todoroki! Could we get a word?" A random reporter asked to no avail. The heterochromatic boy simply walked past her, as if she were simply air. He refused to talk or even look at others.
They had managed to get an interview with Shiozaki, but all they got were religious quotes and preaching.
The reporter sighed. Maybe the next match would have a better response.
1-A Stands
"I can do this!" Uraraka said to herself, repeating the mantra in her head. She slaps her cheeks, to get focused in.
"Hell, yeah you can girl!" Ashido cheered along with her.
"Uhh... Ashido, aren't you fighting her though?" Kaminari asks, finally having removed the tape on his mouth, "Shouldn't you be making her nervous."
"Ah, but in the words of Kirishima, that's not manly." Mina replied, causing Kirishima to nod proudly.
"TRULY A BRILLIANT SHOWING OF SPORTSMANSHIP ASHIDO! YOU TRULY MAKE THIS CLASS-" Iida started before getting his mouth covered by Hagakure.
"What he's trying to say is... Do your best out there and have fun!" The invisible girl cheers, causing everyone's spirits to go up.
"Alright Ashido! We can do this!" Ochako shouts, high fiving her opponent.
"Shouldn't you guys get going?" Izuku asks causing Mina and Ochako to check the time and rush off in a hurry, "Hey Kaida, your match is after this, right?"
Kaida's face became depressed, "Yeah... I'm going to die" Naturally, Kacchan laughed, making Kaida worry more.
"Kero! But wouldn't your bigger form give you a chance good chance against Bakugo though?" Tsuyu asks.
"As if getting taller would stop me!" Katsuki scoffs, but he was a little nervous of that form though. Especially with what she did to those robots.
"Yeah but..." Tears start to form in her eyes, "I can only use for 3 minutes per half an hour." Everyone stares at the cat, apart from Izuku who already new this weakness, before they all start laughing, "HEY! Stop bullying!" She goes to nearest person, that being Sero, and starts punching him in the face, which unfortunately, does nothing to the teen.
"Look! The match is starting" Melissa informed, causing everyone to turn their attention to the arena.
Yuga Aoyama, who has been largely ignored in this fic, considering he's the side character's side character, turns to you, the reader, a twinkle in his eye. "But that's for the next chapter, mon ami!"
And suddenly the fanfiction stops. And the author's notes appear.
Author's Notes: Damn! That's the longest chapter yet! Be sure to review and follow if you're interested!
Oh and another thing. I have two fic ideas and I want to see which people find more interesting:
Fic Idea one: Izuku finds the sword Excalibur and becomes a hero with only that sword. The properties of that sword and the arthurian legends are all changed to be more reflective of the sword from the Fate series.
Fic idea two: Izuku finds out his quirk attracts him to powerful swords, and when he touches them, he sees the memories of the previous holder of it and has to learn to be able to practically having multiple lives inside of him whilst being op.
There will be a poll on my profile
Apart from that, thanks for reading
