"Al-right. Le-ts do th-is!"

Each Reverb clone talked at the same time, running towards their opponent. Their gazes narrowed as the heterochromatic teen stomped their foot into the ground. The floor quickly became coated in ice as it travelled towards the group.

Reacting quickly, two of the reverb clones screamed at the floor, keeping it from progressing as it shattered and the other two leapt atop them, screaming at Todoroki to stun him.

It worked for a moment as the teen was shoved back by the force of the soundwaves, arms trying to cover his ears. He slid towards the boundaries but a wall of ice came up just in time to save him. The prime Reverb's eyes narrowed. 'Thought so, he'll be using his ice as a barrier between him and the out of bounds. I doubt I can safely pull off another Wall of Sound attack again so-WOAH!'

Before he could finish thinking spikes of ice burst out the floor, some shattering by the force of the clone's creams but others getting through, knocking them all into the air.

Not taking any risks, Midoriya quickly dissipated the other clones and flipped in the air, seeing the ground fast approaching. If he landed now it would definitely be over!

Without a second thought, he let out his most powerful scream, almost immediately rocketing back towards the arena. He turned and saw Todoroki staring at him annoyed as he got closer, before throwing out a barrage of ice which the alien barely managed to flip over and slide down on his feet, screaming the teen back into a stunned state yet again.

"YO, TALK ABOUT AN INSANE ESCAPE! I GOTTA SAY, I THINK THIS ONE MIGHT MY FAVOURITE WE'VE SEEN SO FAR!"

"You realize you're completely biased on that front?"

"MAYBE! EITHER WAY, LET'S HERE IT! WHO IS THIS ONE, ERASER?!"

"Reverb, I mentioned earlier he had two forms capable of cloning. As we've all seen, this is the other. He's much more coordinated as he shares a single consciousness, essentially, allowing for much easier team work between them. Interestingly, of all forms he possess this may well be one of the least durable, making it an interesting choice."

"OH?! AND WHY IS THAT?!"

"He possesses multiple aliens that are complete direct counters to all of Todoroki's abilities. Knowing him, he must be planning something. Either way, his other main attributes as we've seen is his sonic screams. They're about equivalent to your own, Mic in terms of how loud they are, but the physical force can be much greater if he pushes himself."

Todoroki growled, running forward despite the pain of the barrage of sound hitting him and threw a punch forward, hitting Reverb in the stomach and throwing him back. Giving short bursts of sound, the alien quickly righted himself and looked up to see the heterochromatic teen shaking, ice covering parts of his body. 'This is my chance!'

"You ca-an't ke-ep at th-is." He said, duplicating into three and all of them jumping out the way of a set of spikes coming at them. "You are hit-ting yo-ur lim-it Todo-roki!"

"Is that so?" The boy asked, standing tall and stomping the ground again, ice quickly spiking out at the three clones. They duplicated each into a group of six and decimated the ice. "Dammit!"

"We can com-plete-ly coun-ter-act you-re ice enti-rely." Reverb said calmly, as he dropped in front of the teen. A lull in the fight as the two knew they were hitting a standstill. "You wi-ll ne-ver win if you ne-ver gi-ve one hun-dred per-cent."

The ice teens eyes narrowed as he realized what Midoriya was trying to get at and he started to stomp forward. "Don't you dare Midoriya!"

"You kno-w it is tr-ue! You can't be-at me wi-th you're ice-UGH!" He didn't stop Todoroki's approach, trying to get his words out but that let the teen get in close enough to kick the alien across the ring. As he continued running, the alien quickly looked up and screamed again, shattering some more ice coating the field and letting him quickly get away from the boundary.

"DID MY FATHE R PUT YOU UP TO THIS?!" Todoroki demanded, as he rand to meet the alien again, movements becoming more and more stiff as his body was covered in frost. "HOW MUCH DID HE OFFER TO PAY YOU, YOU BASTARD?!"

"No-thing! This has no-thing to do wi-th you-re fat-her Todo-roki!" Reverb countered, rolling out the way of yet another barrage and letting a clone jump ut of him, recreating his sliding move from earlier as a distraction. "Th-is is to do wi-th you! You-re lo-sing be-cause you re-fuse to use you-re fi-re!"

"AND THAT WON'T CHANGE!" The teen shouted, pissed off as his ice exploded, sending shrapnel that the alien barely avoided, his clone hit in the process. Todoroki moved faster than Midoriya expecting, taking his legs out from under him and quickly coating his body in ice, holding him down with a look of pure anger. "I WON'T USE HIS POWERS! I WON'T LET HIM HAVE THE SATISFACTION!"

He was going to lose. His mind flashed to JJ for a moment, imagining her watching and the look of disappointment that would cross her face if he failed here. If he beat Shinsou for Ojiro, only to fail a moment later. All Might and his Mom, doing everything they could to encourage him until now. Yaoyorouzu, who had just suffered her own lose.

He saw Roller, rolling over in his tomb at him failing. Finally, as the ice started to cover his face, he saw Todoroki in front of him, the pain hidden behind in the anger in those eyes. A switch flipped in his mind, he couldn't fail right now no matter what.

"It's no-ot hi-s! It-s your po-wer! Not hi-is!"

"IT'S NOT-"

"IT'S YOUUURRSSSSSS!"

As his voice picked up, screaming that last line he screamed as loud as he could, the vibration of his body from the backlash making the ice go brittle and fall apart while Todoroki was thrown through the air. Getting up, he brushed the last of the ice off and met his opponent head on with a glare.

Todoroki stood up, and their gazes locked, yet the heterochromatic teens gaze seemed so fat away. "I am put-ting every-thing! We all are! So you sho-uld do the sa-me!"

Silence engulfed them a moment, and neither moved. For a moment, the alien boy couldn't help but wonder if he'd somehow gone to far, when finally Todoroki muttered a single phrase. "….Still want to be a hero…."

Then, in one amazing instant, a magnificent torrent of flames sprouted from the boy, making Midoriya have to shield his eyes a moment.

"EH?! WHAT'S THIS?! SHOTO TODOROKI IS…. USING HIS FLAMES!? WHAT AN AMAZING DISPLAY!"

"So, that's what the problem child was doing…."

"YEEEEESSSS SHOUTO! HAVE YOU FINALLY EMBRACED YOU'RE-" Midoriya tuned out Endeavors shout, as did Todoroki. The two 1-A student's eyes met once more.

"Thank you…. Midoriya." The fire and ice teen muttered, and Midoriya grinned for just a moment. "But now…. It's over."

Ah, right, he wasn't going to be able to-

His eyes widened, as he looked around at the ice on the field, back to the fire and the new chunks of ice sprouting off his opponent. "Wa-it Todo-roki! Don't!"

He ran forward, separating into as many clones as he possibly could to try to contain the backlash that was inevitably going to occur at this point. Todoroki likely hadn't realized because of the adrenaline but his power was going to-

BOOM!

He heard the noise before he saw the flash or felt the shock wave hit him. He did the first thing he could think of, dissipating all of his clones and screaming at the ground.

The world flashed hundreds of times as he twirled far to fast through the air, debris flying all around him and spectators screaming in shock in fear. For just a moment he could have sworn he met eyes with Ashido as he was thrown away.

Then, eventually the spinning stopped and he could see the endless blue expanse of the sky. Looking around, he realized that he'd managed to redirect his trajectory into the sky but now he was plummeting back to the ground, picking up speed fast.

It took a couple moments but the stadium came back into view as he plummeted, and the voice of Present Mic filled his ears.

"WELL SPORTS FANS… UH….. MIDORIYA IS ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE TO BE SEEN AND TODOROKI IS STILL BARELY IN BOUND SO-"

"Wait, look there!"

"OH MY GOD! IN THE SKY SPORTS FANS!"

People started to point as he finally passed the roof of the stadium and saw Todoroki looking up at him, dazed and shocked as he leaned against an ice wall protecting him.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

Looking at the flashing Omnitrix symbol, he grimaced as he realized it was now or never. Splitting instantly into a group of ten he let out one last scream that shattered the ice and sent Todoroki over the edge, falling down the steps before the alien collided hard with the concrete ground.

Bwoo…

He retained conscious just barely long enough to feel the other Reverbs merge back into him and feel his body return to normal.

"SHOTO TODOROKI IS OUT OF BOUNDS! MIDORIYA WINS!"

With that, his consciousness faded away.
