Festival Part 7
Stands
It was now Izuku vs Shoto, Sachiko cheered for Shoto while Asuna was cheering for Izuku. Jikan got in her seat, "What happened so far?"
Saiba said, "Endeavor's perfect child is fighting Greenie."
Asuna said, "His name is Izuku Midoriya."
Ayano tried not to laugh because Izuku's last name meant 'Green' and the boy had green hair and eyes. Soga asked, "How are Oshiro and Alekandra? They really fought each other hard."
Jikan nodded, "They are fine and looked like they had some fun."
Masuta said, "They had fun nearly killing each other… friendship goals."
Jikan added, "I had to leave because an older man, woman, and a young girl wanted to speak with them."
Ernst smiled, "That was Fredrick's family you saw. His father is Prince Edward the IV, the next in line to the throne of the German Empire… Emmi is here?"
Hira asked, "Emmi?"
Ernst said, "Emmi is Fredrick's little sister that he never met, Zwei is probably happy to see her."
Chino asked, "Sibling?"
Ernst nodded, "I have two little brothers and one little sister. I can't wait to show them how strong I am."
Chino sighed and looked down, "I'm glad you have a good relationship with your family. Unlike some of us."
Soga replied, "At least you have a family… some of us don't really have a family. But at least I have you guys as my friends."
Jikan lightened up the situation, "This class right here, I consider you all family."
Everyone looked at her in surprise, Ric asked, "What?"
Jikan smiled, "You are like brothers and sisters to me, including you Ric."
Masuta asked, "Okay, who else is royalty?"
Sachiko raised her hand a bit, "I rather we don't speak of it."
Cogwell looked at Alicia, "Are you ready for your match with Ernst?"
Alicia nodded and Cogwell leaned over, "I made some last-minute modification to the staff you have been using."
Alicia asked, "What did you add?"
Cogwell replied, "A taser was added so you can cause more pain and to increase your chance of winning."
Alicia smiled, "I do want to see the faces of the crowd see that a quirkless person reached top 3."
Cogwell sighed, "Sadly I can't do anything about Oshiro, his power has no match and he used to serve someone is stronger."
Saiba thought for a moment about Oshiro, 'He was taken from his family and brainwashed for most of his life. Am I really just holding a useless grudge?'
Nurse's Office
Oshiro's sister, Emmi laughed in German, "Do it again!"
Oshiro shrugged and activated his quirk to make his hair make a pair of fox ears and a tail of sparks which she smiled, "So cool."
Oshiro's mom looked at Alekandra, "The last time I saw you, you were so little. Now you have grown so much, your mother and father would be happy to know you are alive."
Alekandra smiled a bit, "I'm glad to see you again, Auntie Tirza."
Tirza then asked, "What happened to you?"
Alekandra replied, "I was modified by torture, genetic modification, and forced to fight to survive. They made me… and Fredrick do many… many bad things."
Tirza hugged her, "You are safe now. One day, we get take you to your home."
Alekandra nodded, "That sounds nice."
Edward looked at Kunai and Oshiro, "So Fredrick, who is your friend here?"
Kunai bowed a little bit, "Sorry my name is Katana Kunai (Last then first). I'm his best friend and we have had each other's back for a long time."
Oshiro said, "He was a former yakuza member that I would go help him and he helped me which led to a friendship. We have saved each other's lives on multiple occasion."
Emmi went over to Alekandra and Tirza to see her distant cousin which Edward asked Oshiro, "What did they do to you, my son?"
Oshiro looked at his arm, "A lot of things… a lot of painful experiments and operations. They first took my heart to combine it with a living metal to make a heart that filters all poisons and control my blood flow easier. Then the liver… then my eye… I became less human than when I got kidnapped."
Edward put his hand on Oshiro's shoulder, "Do you still follow their orders?"
Oshiro replied, "No."
Edward asked, "Do you regret the action you were forced to do?"
Oshiro nodded his head, Edward smiled, "Do you want to make up for your past mistakes?"
Oshiro looked at him, "That's what I'm doing, to make up for my past mistakes to become worthy enough to be Fredrick Rommel Hohenzollern."
Edward still smiled, "You are more human than you think you are, and you have become a better man than I thought you ever will be."
Oshiro released a single tear, "Thanks Dad."
Edward noticed that Oshiro had the Iron Cross that he gave him went he was little, "You kept it all this time."
Oshiro smiled and looked at it, "It was the only thing that refused to let go for all this time. I always wore it with pride and even now I will continue to wear it with pride."
Kunai smiled and tried to hold back his tears from this, then Edward sighed, "If I had my sword, I would knight your friend."
Kunai raised an eyebrow, "Knight?"
Oshiro looked at Kunai, "You know the sword thing that royalty do to make a person into a knight."
Kunai asked, "My quirk involves making and shooting blades out of my body at high speeds. Will one of my blades do the trick?"
The Field
Ernst entered the field to see Alicia with her staff walking to the ring to fight him. Ernst has been watching her carefully, she is quirkless which causes people to underestimate her. Ernst could see that she has been using that tactic to her advantage and she relies on actual hand to hand combat. Ernst got in the ring and looked at her ready to fight, he then took off his shirt and got in his beast form. Alicia responded by pointing her staff an him, "I see you are ready."
Ernst replied, "I was born ready, but are you?"
Midnight then gave the word which Ernst charged at her, Alicia stood her ground and waited for Ernst to get close to her. Alicia then turned on the taser on the staff and dodged Ernst's charge to jab his side. Ernst feeling the volts of the taser jumped to the side to get away from it. Alicia then twirled her staff round her body making a shield around her, "Something wrong?"
Ernst smirked, "Nope."
He charged at her again, Alicia dodged his claws to jab his gut then hit the back of his head. Ernst then grabbed her staff to snap it in half, Alicia grabbed the broken half and jumped back. Alicia with the two halves of the staff twirled them a bit, Ernst could tell at this point she was beyond skilled in close combat and had to try a new tactic. Ernst walked to her, Alicia thought to herself, 'Trying to get me to go on offense, well here I come.'
Alicia then charged at him; Ernst blocked her right swing but took the kick to the gut. Ernst taking advantage of the chance grabbed her leg, Alicia took the half with the taser to jab his hand but Ernst used his other hand to stop her and disarm her of the taser. Alicia jumped off her other leg to kick his face. Ernst at the last moment dodged the kick to throw her to try to get her out of the ring. Alicia refused and used the sharp broken end of the half of the staff to stab the ground to prevent her from bouncing out of the ring.
She got up to fight Ernst with her bare hands, Ernst was ready for her fight. Ernst got his fists up and Alicia went all out by punched him in certain places at incredible speeds. Ernst felt the pain running through him, he was thinking to himself, 'Not yet.'
He was waiting for her to showing signs that she was getting tired, Alicia kept going on with her barrage of attacks. Then as Ernst was feeling weak, he saw the moment he was looking for and he grabbed one of her fists. She then went for a kick, but he dodged it to throw her in the air. Ernst then caught her from her fall to then throw her out one more time, Alicia looked at Ernst as she flew out of the ring, 'Not bad, instead of planning on defeating me. You planned on getting me out of the ring… we should have a real fight next time.'
Then Midnight announce Ernst as the winner of the match and was about to head back until Jikan, Oshiro, and Shoto showed up to the field. All Might then came out of the sky to land next to Jikan who was across from Ernst while Oshiro was on Ernst's left and Shoto was on his right. All Might shouted, "HAHA! YOU FOUR ARE NOW IN THE SEMIFINALS, JIKAN CHISAKI! YOU ARE THE WILDCARD AND AS THE WILDCARD, YOU WILL CHOOSE WHO YOU WILL FACE IN THE SEMIFINALS!"
Jikan looked at her options, 'I want to make it to the top 3 for Eri… Shoto's ice and fire would be an automatic lose because my ice can't do nothing against. I have a better chance with Ernst.'
Jikan in the microphone, "I will face Ernst Lycan."
Everyone in the stadium were excited for the upcoming matches, Oshiro looked at Shoto, 'Looks like I will fight and beat the son. Endeavor, you better be watching this, don't worry I won't hurt him much.'
Then after a coin toss by All Might, Oshiro and Shoto went first which Ernst secretly would like a tiny short break on the benches nearby for first row seating of this fight. Sachiko in the stands thought to her, 'Oshiro is brute force and smart in combat, will Shoto's fire and ice be enough… in the end, Shoto will prove that he is stronger and better than his father has ever been.'
Oshiro looked at Shoto and got into Tiger Blitz, while Shoto looked at him coldly and calculating him. Midnight then shouted, "BEGIN!"
Shoto started by shooting a huge wall of ice at Oshiro which punched it to destroy it with ease. He looked to see Shoto was in the air above him, Shoto had his fire ready to shoot it him. Oshiro responded by jumping into the flames to punch his gut sending him flying back. Shoto grunted as used his flames to get him back at the ring then summoned to huge pillars of ice at Oshiro. Oshiro smirked as he when to Maus blitz, "RHINE DRILL!"
He jumped through one of the pillars spinning like a drill to reach to Shoto, Shoto using his flames to get Oshiro to back off. But Shoto doesn't realize that Oshiro has been engineered and trained to never fall back from simple fire. Oshiro went through the fire to try to get him, Shoto freaked out and froze him solid. Midnight thinking Shoto accidentally kill was about to end the match but the ice holding him broke. Shoto rolled to the side to dodge the attack, Oshiro laughed, "You utter fool! You think simple ice and fire will stop a war machine like me! Well it will take more than that to me!"
Shoto looked at him coldly, "Are you trying to make me go all out?"
Oshiro raised an eyebrow, "The real question is are you trying to make me go all out?"
Shoto then went all out revealing a huge column of fire and winds of cold ice forming, Oshiro looked in awe. Shoto looked at him, "You are the strongest in your class, but not the smartest. Are you ready?"
Oshiro smiled, "You have my respect… if you are going all out then I will go all out with my real strength."
Oshiro thought to himself, 'It's time to show him the power of the Leopard!'
The sparks started going full red started going out of control, the ground started to shake a bit. The tips of Oshiro's silver hair became red, the veins in his body glowed red, and his tattoos started glowing red. Then Jikan and Ernst saw on Oshiro's back something happening on Oshiro's back, through his shirt under the words 'ARBEIT MACHT FREI' a shape of an eagle that Ernst recognized. Ernst in shock, "The Black Eagle…"
Jikan asked, "The what?"
Ernst replied, "The Black Eagle is the bird on the Prussian flag, his quirks made the tattoos but why?"
Jikan looked at Oshiro, "We will ask him later. But now the heroes better be ready for if this gets bad."
Oshiro looked at Shoto, "I'm going all out on you, can you handle this?"
Shoto then sent columns of ice and a wave of ice to get Oshiro, Oshiro then charged at him breaking the ice as he moved towards him at speeds that Edgeshot in the stands couldn't possibly imagine. Shoto then got his arm to release all of his fire, Oshiro got his fist ready to punch to take out the flame. Cementoss sighed, "Ah shit, here we go again."
He touched the ground to start making walls between the two, then the two released their attacks to destroy the walls and the left only smoke covering the field. For one minute everyone was on the edge of their seats waiting to see who won. The smoke cleared to reveal Shoto on one knee with half of his shirt missing, Sachiko blushed by the sight then Oshiro appeared from the smoke missing his shirt entirely, healing himself as he walked to Shoto. Shoto looked at Oshiro who was still walking and saw that he did hurt him. Oshiro was limping but he was healing from that and he was still in the Leopard. Oshiro got up to him to push him out of the ring with one hand. Midnight who still couldn't believe she survived announced that Oshiro was the winner.
Oshiro stuck out his hand, "That was a good match… now I thank you for a great match."
Shoto looked at him then grabbed his hand which Oshiro got him up, "We need new shirts."
The two walked to the sidelines to get new shirts which Ernst said, "That was like what Kirishima would say 'Manly'. That new tattoo was even cooler."
Oshiro in shock, "I got another tattoo? How big is it?"
Jikan looked at it, "It's under the words and it takes up your whole back."
Oshiro sighed, "Christ, I shouldn't have used so much power. If I use more power Leopard than the last time, I used Leopard then a new tattoo forms… what does it look like?"
Ernst in pride, "The black eagle emblem of the Prussian flag!"
Oshiro smiled, "I can live with that and that's cool as hell."
Then Jikan and Ernst went to the ring that was being fixed quickly by Cementoss, Jikan looked at Ernst, "Good luck."
Ernst chuckled, "Same to you as well."
