Izuku bobbed his head to his music as he rode the elevator upwards. The interior was noticeably cleaner than the inside of the boys' elevator at the Class A dorms, due to Kacchan and Mineta's argument in it the week before. Or maybe it was just because it was taking him to the 3rd floor of the girls dorms. He couldn't decide.
The doors slid open and he stepped out into the corridor. He took his earphones out and carefully took note of the names on the doors. 'Pony. Yui. Ah, Setsuna.'
He knocked lightly and waited. He gripped his notes and his present tightly in his hands. The door opened inwards, revealing Lizardy, although clearly out of her regular hero attire. ''Hey, Midoriya!''
''H-Hi, Tokage-san. You still need help with your quirk? You asked if we could meet sometime…'' He trailed off and offered her a nervous laugh.
The girl studied her fellow greenette with a fiery intensity. Had she made the moves on him too much?
''I'll be honest, Midoriya. I wasn't expecting you to show.'' Tokage was suddenly extra aware of how low her tank top hung on her chest and tried to tug it up without being too obvious.
''Oh, f-for real?'' He seemed slightly offended. His face fell and Tokage felt a pang of guilt.
''I mean, I'm glad you did, don't get me wrong!'' Setsuna raised her hands in a defensive motion to persuade him.
Izuku laughed awkwardly, evidently relieved. Setsuna prodded a finger into his chest.
''You weren't persuaded by me pushing my boobs into you when I asked, were you?'' She said with a heavy degree of skepticism.
''O-Of course not! Helping others is what heroes- Wait. You knew you were doing that?'' He exclaimed with wide eyes.
''HAHAHA! MIDORI!'' Setsuna howled with laughter and Izuku looked down the row of rooms to see if her loud cackling had drawn Pony or Yui out of their rooms.
Izuku scratched the back of his head, shifting the contents between them. Setsuna's eye caught that.
''Whatcha got there?'' She pointed to his notebook and a small cloth bag.
''Oh, my notebook. Just in case I need to take some notes on your quirk and how ours are similar.'' He was avoiding speaking about the bag.
''And the bag? What's that for?'' She leant on her door frame, convincing herself that she wouldn't allow him in until he told her.
''Uhhh, I, um-'' Tokage leant forward, excitement building.
''I made you some chocolates…'' He mumbled as he turned bright red. Setsuna felt her cheeks warm up too.
''That's adorable.'' She said. And she meant it. She gently took the bag from his hand and pulled the small fabric ties to peer inside.
She dipped her thumb and index finger inside and pulled out a strangely shaped chocolate that was roughly the size of a pinky finger.
''Is this… a stegosaurus!?'' She grinned in adoration.
''Y-yeah. I heard you liked dinosaurs so I thought, ya know…'' Izuku smiled at her warmly, fighting through his neverending blush.
Setsuna grabbed his hand and tugged him inside. ''Well, you heard correctly!'' She gave him a thumbs up as she closed her door.
Izuku took in his surroundings. Green, everywhere. Green curtains, green bedsheet, green carpet. Velociraptor poster on one wall. A cabinet full of small, porcelain dinosaur figurines on the other.
''Woah…'' He said under his breath.
''You like it?'' Tokage slapped his back playfully, jolting him.
''Yeah! Definitely has a theme!'' He replied with equal enthusiasm.
''Alright, moment of truth!'' Setsuna placed the now slightly melted stegosaurus chocolate onto her tongue.
Her eyes widened. ''You put popping candy in it?'' She asked as she opened her mouth slightly to let the fizzing die down.
''I heard you liked it from Kendo, so I just assumed you'd want some.'' He sat down on her desk chair.
''Well, Midoriya-'' The girl began as she approached him. She took a chocolate from the bag and pushed it into his mouth. He didn't resist but he was definitely confused. ''-I think we might just have ourselves the start of a brilliant friendship.''
{}{}{}
''Izuku! IZUKU!'' Setsuna's mouth yelled from inside his hood. ''Me and Sato ducked into the sewers! The manhole by our base, to be exact. If you can hear me, lick my chin!'' Izuku did so without a second thought, not caring for the implications.
''Oh, thank god! We're just catching our breath so we'll be up soon. Try not to get eliminated, hmm?'' Izuku nodded in response, despite knowing she couldn't see it.
But what he could see was the enormous mass of pitch black tendrils and wings that formed Dark Shadow. In the dim light, he couldn't even make out Tokoyami at the centre of it. He deactivated Float and landed next to Todoroki and Kendo.
The ginger girl enlarged her fist and swung for him, only for him to use Black Whip to parry her. Todoroki reeled back to unleash an ice attack.
''Stop!'' Izuku deactivated all of his quirks and held up his hands. Both of the Group M members were caught off guard at Midoriya's sudden call for a truce, but remained wary.
''We can and we will need to work together to defeat Tokoyami. I'm sure the teachers will count his KO for both our teams if we do.'' He motioned to an alley across the road. ''Setsuna and Sato are down in the sewers, out of sight. We can meet them.''
''Don't be foolish, Midoriya.'' Shoto said as he played with the sleeves of his jacket. ''That could easily be a trap.''
Izuku pouted. 'He's got me there. I would think that too.'
''Well, in that case, I'll just call them over here.'' Izuku pulled his hood down and removed Setsuna's mouth from the crook of his neck. Todoroki's eyes widened in shock whilst Itsuka simply facepalmed.
Izuku rubbed the cheek with his forefinger and Setsuna yelped. ''O-oh, you want us up top already?'' Izuku tapped her chin twice and Tokage smirked. ''Well, in that case… give us a kiss for good luck, Midori. I'm not too fond of storming back up here when there's a feathery Godzilla walking around.''
''Ugh.'' Both Itsuka and Izuku groaned simultaneously.
''I'm waiting, Green Bean. I'm not telling Sato until you-'' Izuku felt Itsuka wrench the mouth from his hands. The Class-B president kissed the disembodied mouth sharply before letting it hover just above her palm.
''Oh, Itsuka! You're with Midori!?'' The mouth laughed for a few seconds before settling down again. ''We'll be up in a second.''
The 3 students stood in silence before Todoroki spoke up. ''How did she know that-'' Kendo turned and glared at him.
''Don't.''
IcyHot grit his teeth and averted his eyes. ''Note taken.''
The manhole across the way slid across the ground as Sato emerged, followed closely by Group I's final member. The two quickly jogged over.
''You got a plan?'' Sato was still gripping his side.
''I'm going to run around and try to find others who haven't been eliminated.'' Izuku activated Black Whip again and recast his arms.
''What about us?'' Todoroki spoke with his normal, disinterested tone.
''Get to the roof of the tallest building you can. Try not to let Tokoyami or Dark Shadow see you.'' Izuku saluted as he dashed down the street.
[][][]
It was not looking good in terms of finding allies. Groups A,B,C,D,F,G and H were all laid out in varying forms of unconsciousness or entanglement. Blocks of ice here. Pools of acid there.
'No signs of Momo's team. Or Ibara's.' Maybe they were underground as his team were? As he sped under Dark Shadow, who seemed to have stopped growing, another blur pulled up alongside him. He could barely react as he caught a harsh elbow to the face that sent him sprawling and skidding on his back to a rough stop.
''Midoriya-kun! I will defeat you!'' Iida said, his voice slightly muffled by his helmet.
''Iida?'' He looked up, his eyesight very blurry as he recovered from the hit the Class Rep had dished out. 'Why would he- Group J. Iida's just about the only person here who wouldn't support our combined efforts.'
Midoriya knew he couldn't appeal to Iida's senses or distract him. The bespectacled boy had a habit of getting too into their battle practises.
Iida dashed using Recipro Burst, crunching brick in the wall that Midoriya was just in front of. Izuku had used Shoot Style to dodge, but was still basically lying on his ass. Tenya attacked again. This time, Izuku wasn't fast enough to dodge. Iida kicked him viciously in the spot Manga had managed to hurt him earlier. It had, however, knocked him back onto his feet.
Izuku, in a mix of rage and adrenaline, threw a 40% One for All punch upwards and felt his fist contact with the metal of Iida's helmet. Izuku's eyes widened in shame and fear. A punch that strong could kill someone! He squinted in the darkness, seeing that Tenya's helmet had taken most of the force out of the blow.
The left side of said headwear had practically disintegrated. The parts of Iida's face that he could see shifted in anger.
''Iida, I didn't mean to-'' He was quieted by a swift uppercut to the jaw.
''Silence, villain! I shall defeat you in the name of justice!'' Iida shouted. 'Oh, he's only faking anger for the roleplay.' Izuku mentally sighed in relief.
The greenette threw a second punch, only Iida to catch his hand. The two friends clenched, the raw power of their trained bodies cancelling any significant leeway they could make.
''Ugh!'' Iida suddenly lurched forward in pain. Izuku jumped to feet in concern. Had his punch finally had an effect?
Then Iida slowly hovered off the ground. And Izuku understood. 'Heh, my knight in pink, skin tight armor.' Iida flew backwards across the street, where Uraraka was tugging on her grappling hooks. Iida spun upside down in the air and Uravity took full advantage. She gripped the tall boy by his armor and slammed him, face first, into the concrete. He was unlucky, really. If Izuku hadn't exposed his head to the elements, he might've remained conscious. Ochako unclipped her grappling hooks before sprinting to Izuku, sliding on her knees as she came within range. She stylishly came to a stop just before him.
''You okay!?'' She cupped his cheeks with her hands. He nodded fervently. Ochako pulled him in for a kiss. Both of them were caked in brick dust and dirt, but they didn't care. They pulled away and helped each other to their feet.
''Where's Jirou? A-And Tsuburaba?'' He asked, concerned.
Ochako shook her head. ''You were lucky, Deku. This side of the city was one big free for all. Tokoyami had basically pinned us all back. And that was before the lights went out.'' She peered up to the sky at Fumikage, who was seemingly so high up he couldn't hear the relatively quiet fight beneath him.
''Your team okay?'' Uraraka asked as she pulled her eyes away from Dark Shadow.
''Yeah, for the most part. I was just looking for other groups to help us when I ran into Iida.'' He looked up at the tallest skyscrapers, searching for a sign of some kind.
''Well, would you have me on board, captain?'' Uraraka mock saluted, making him feel a little stupid for doing it seriously earlier.
''Actually-'' Izuku spotted an 'M' made of ice in the window of the second largest building that Ground Beta had to offer. ''We'd be very happy to have you on board.''
[][][]
Izuku ran vertically up the side of the building whilst Uraraka floated herself next to him. He clambered into an open window, before guiding Ochako inside after him. They entered a dark meeting room that overlooked the majority of the fake city. Inside, sitting and standing around, was the 4 he had left earlier. Plus-
''Monoma?'' Ochako seemed as confused as he was. The boy certainly wasn't incompetent in battle, but he was by no means expected to make it this far.
''Ah! Yet more survivors! A shame you had to be from Class A, however.'' Monoma deadpanned.
''What quirks do you have right now?'' Izuku asked.
''Aoyama's. Recently, Tokage's.'' The blonde responded.
''Not Shinsou's?'' Kendo asked.
''I'm afraid not.''
''You idiot! If you had that, all's you'd have to do would be to tell Tokoyami to turn off his quirk!'' Setsuna scoffed in annoyance.
''I very much agree.'' Monoma tutted. ''But the dolt wouldn't entrust me with his quirk.''
''This could still work in our favour.'' Izuku stared out the window. ''Monoma, you found out last year that you could use all the quirks you store at once, right?''
''It's the greatest testament to my greatness.'' Monoma smirked cockily. Maybe he didn't see how dumb a sentence that was.
He was right. After Class B's heavy quirk training in their second year, Neito had finally mastered the use of two quirks simultaneously. By the third year, he could use three at once. Izuku looked around the room in thought. Who here had possible quirk synergies that Monoma could capitalise on?
Using Uraraka's Anti-Gravity and Setsuna's Lizard Tail Splitter together was pointless; Setsuna's body parts could float on their own. Kendo wasn't exactly blessed with a compatible quirk. From previous experiments, Monoma couldn't handle the strain One for All either. Which just left-
''Sato.'' The large-lipped boy perked up, surprised to be even in consideration.
''When you consume sugar, does every single bodily process increase?''
Sugarman quirked a brow. ''Other than muscle mass? Uhhh, yeah. Healing, and hormone production go up too.''
''Izuku, I take it you have an idea?'' Shoto leaned forward on the conference table.
''I do.''
[][][]
Tokoyami slowly travelled over the city. He wasn't surprised that so many had chosen to hide until the teachers called the exercise to an end. He was in his element, and had already taken down at least 8 heroes.
He couldn't help but feel villainous, of course. He had become a kaiju. A literally building-sized monster.
His eyes caught a flicker of light in the darkness of the city. Green lightning trailed behind a barely visible figure.
''Midoriya?'' The bird boy said aloud to himself. He couldn't rule out the possibility. He hadn't even seen him so far, after all. He slowly shifted the writhing, living form of Dark Shadow forwards to continue after him.
Another flicker of light caught his eye. Orange, this time. Then suddenly, the orange engulfed his eyeline.
Fire.
He knew that Todoroki had the potential to reach him with his left side, but hadn't considered that he would try from ground level.
He felt the underside of Dark Shadow wane and retract slightly at the heat and light that licked at the bottom of his dark construct.
Dark Shadow roared in defiance, and slammed it's enormous beaked face into the ground where the fire emanated from. Buildings crumbled and collapsed. By the time Dark Shadow had reared back, the city was almost silent and unmoving once again.
Until Tokoyami spotted it again. The green lightning. What was Midoriya planning? His movements weren't sporadic or random. He was moving in a pattern. As if to distract him.
A whistle echoed out from above him. Tokoyami looked up, only to be blinded by a burst of heavenly light.
{}{}{}
Uraraka, Tokage and Monoma floated high above the city. From there, it was evident that the sun was still a few minutes before dipping behind the horizon.
Monoma chugged several vials of liquid sugar before munching on half a bag of granulated sugar. He felt his brain slow.
''Woah, woah. Keep it together, dipshit.'' Tokage smacked his cheeks a few times. ''Now, as we practised.''
Monoma's guts disconnected from his body, from just below the pecs to just before the thighs.
''Good!'' Tokage encouraged. ''Now, can you feel Aoyama's quirk?''
Monoma looked at her, drooling and cross-eyed from the sudden dip into lower brain function. Setsuna fought off the urge to giggle loudly. That would be potentially fatal with Tokoyami just below them.
''Yuh. I feels it.'' Monoma smiled goofily. Tokage nodded and detached her arm, sending it out to Monoma's body. The arm tilted the body and pushed it forwards until it rested just above Tokoyami, with Neito's stomach facing down.
Todoroki had goaded Tokoyami into attacking, just as planned.
''That's Deku's signal.'' Uraraka's voice didn't need to be loud to travel up in the still, spring skies.
''Okay, Monoma. When I whistle, use the laser. Got it?'' Setsuna commanded as her arm reattached.
''Uh-huh.'' Monoma mumbled.
Tokoyami hadn't moved yet.
Neither had Monoma's gut.
Tokage whistled.
And all hell broke loose.
{}{}{}
Midoriya perched atop a roof as Monoma's navel laser came crashing down upon Tokoyami. It was as wide as the streets of the fake city, and as tall as a house. His hypothesis was correct; Sato's strengthening quirk could bolster the quirks of others.
Tokoyami's quirk shrieked in pain. The bright, sparking light and density of the laser immediately disintegrated the majority of Dark Shadow on impact.
''TODOROKI!'' Izuku screamed as he zipped from surface to surface before leaping towards Tokoyami. IcyHot wasn't far behind on his ice stream, on which Sato and Kendo fought to keep their balance.
The future Symbol of Peace met Tokoyami head on, using the remaining walls that Dark Shadow had left as springboards to launch off from.
Todoroki slowed his ice stream just above the bird boy, who struggled in vain to return Dark Shadow to its previous size under the heavy lighting. Sato and Kendo leapt from the icy path and prepared to land on top of the boy.
Izuku hit a clean strike on Fumikage's face, almost giving the boy whiplash from the sheer impact.
Izuku moved back to another skyscraper to prepare for another attack. He built One for All up in his legs in the few seconds he had on the surface. He launched off, arm reeled back with Black Whip reinforcing his arms.
Then the light died. Izuku quickly glanced up. Then back to Tokoyami. The crow-faced teen yelled in pain as Dark Shadow once again burst forth from his body.
Dark Shadow intercepted them all. It's large hands caught both Kendo and Sato and it's head swatted Izuku towards the ground.
Izuku seemed to fall in slow motion. 'How could I be so stupid? It took Aoyama years to keep Navel Laser constant. Monoma couldn't have possibly disabled Dark Shadow long enough to allow the heavy hitters to stop him permanently.
He spun in the air, and now faced towards the ground. Seconds before he impacted with the asphalt, he felt something tug him upwards and onto a rooftop. He looked down. Vines.
''Shiozaki!'' Izuku exclaimed in joy.
''You were fortunate that I was here, Midoriya.'' The holy girl unwrapped her hair from his legs and offered him a hand up.
''I'll say.'' He conceded. He looked back up to Dark Shadow, who swung wildly at Todoroki.
''How many others are with you?'' He asked in desperation.
''Four, Izuku.'' Izuku spun around to see Momo, with Kirishima, Mina and Pony trailing behind.
''Oh, whew.'' Izuku allowed himself to smile.
''What was your plan, Izuku?'' Momo asked as she produced bandages from her bare arm. She held them out to him and he graciously accepted, wrapping them tightly around his chest to constrict his ribs.
''You see Monoma up in the sky with Ochako and Setsuna?'' He tied the bandage and pointed up.
''I assume Monoma was the one using Aoyama's quirk, then.'' Momo said, cool, calm and collected as Dark Shadow destroyed the city's skyline.
''He knows that we're trying to attack from above. Yui with you?'' Izuku gripped his chin in thought.
''Unconscious since Tokoyami transformed.'' Mina set, face upturned in regret.
''Well then we'll need Kendo.'' Izuku moved to the edge of the roof and cupped his mouth in an attempt to throw his voice. Momo tapped his shoulder. He turned to see a megaphone. He laughed dryly before accepting it.
''SHOTO! AIM FOR THE ARMS!'' The device made his voice reach Todoroki with ease, and the bi-coloured boy seemed unfazed as he narrowly dodged a punch from Dark Shadow and slid underneath on his ice. He sprayed fire at Dark Shadow's arms, which withered enough for Kendo and Sato to wriggled free.
The two teens fell into the waiting vines of Shiozaki. ''Thank, Ibara.'' Kendo hopped onto the road. Sato stumbled as he regained his footing. Ibara's vines shot backwards and grabbed the 5 students on the roof too. The five allowed themselves to be gently dropped to the road.
''Plan, Midoriya?'' Momo asked stressfully as the small league of students ran up the street, out of the long reach of Dark Shadow's quickly reforming body.
''Kendo!'' He yelled across the line.
''Yeah!?'' The ginger girl struggled to make her voice heard as Tokoyami split another skyscraper.
''Can you still go 'street size!?'' Izuku threw his hands out in front of him to demonstrate.
''YEAH!'' Kendo screeched over the background noise.
''EVERYONE STOP!'' Midoriya shouted. The eight students stopped and spun, Dark Shadow was about a quarter of the length of the city behind. That being said, he was easily about a tenth of the size of the city overall, so they didn't have much time.
''Man, he's even bigger now!'' Eijiro stared in disbelief.
''Momo, make me one of Yuga's belts. Monoma will need it to focus Aoyama's quirk.'' Momo quickly nodded. The belt fell out of the open space of her costume and into Midoriya's hand.
Izuku yelled for Todoroki through the megaphone. IcyHot quickly joined them. ''Midoriya, I assume we have a new plan?'' He remained stoic, if not visibly exhausted.
''I do. Mina!'' The pink girl jumped.
''Y-Yeah!'' She jogged over to him.
''Take my hand. We're going up to Monoma.'' He held out a palm and Mina grabbed it tightly.
''I'm floating up to Monoma. Mina is going to weld the belt to his skin.'' He turned to Todoroki. ''Throw fireballs at Tokoyami. I mean his actual body. Dark Shadow will be forced to block. That'll buy us time.''
''Momo, create as many high beam torches as possible. Then attach them to Kirishima.'' Creati immediately got to work. Red Riot looked around, confused.
''Uh, why me?'' He pointed to his chest.
''Kendo.'' Midoriya ignored him for the moment. ''Go street size. Lay your hand face up. Then put Kirishima on the top of your middle finger. When you see the laser, flick the finger and launch Kirishima.''
''Oh!'' The pieces clicked into place for Kirishima, as well as the rest of the group. ''So we're doing a human catapult!''
Izuku nodded. ''Shiozaki, catch the three up there when they fall. Uraraka can't hold them up there much longer.''
The Vine hero's face hardened. ''I will let no harm befall them.''
Izuku looked at everyone in turn. They all seemed fired up. ''Good luck everyone.'' He squeezed Mina's hand and the horned girl braced herself.
Izuku activated Float, and quickly the two zipped up into the sky.
''Stay safe, Eiji!'' Mina yelled as she rose.
Kirishima sniffled. ''This plan is so manly!''
[][][]
''Is that Midori!?'' Setsuna said as she slapped Monoma to keep him awake.
Ochako squinted as the green haired boy approached, Ashido clinging to him for dear life.
''Izuku!'' Uraraka called out to him. Within a few seconds, he had reached them.
''How much sugar does he have left?'' Izuku looked over the groggy blonde boy.
''Two or three vials. I don't think he'd stay awake if he drank them…'' Setsuna pulled the boy's eyelids up with her fingers.
Uraraka reached out and tapped Mina, who began floating, much to her personal relief.
''Mina, you see the torso there?'' Izuku motioned to Monoma's guts. ''Go make some sticky acid and wrap this belt around it.''
The golden eyed girl nodded nervously as she took the belt from his hand and 'swam' across to it. It was times like this she was glad she had experience with Urarity's quirk. She rubbed her hand against her cheek to create the friction she needed to produce the right secretion. She lathered the body part in the acid and carefully placed the belt on it.
She swam back, looking a bit daunted. ''O-okay, done.''
Izuku took the vials of sugar from Setsuna's hand and placed both of them at Monoma's lips. ''When he drinks these, punch him. He needs to stay awake.'' He informed Setsuna.
The green-haired girl grinned. ''I get to punch him?'' She said excitedly.
Izuku tipped the vials and Monoma instinctively gulped the liquid. As his eyelids started to droop, Tokage punched him across the face with no remorse.
They all turned to the hovering torso as another navel laser blasted from it. It wasn't quite as large as the first, but it would certainly do the trick. They watched in awe as it struck Tokoyami again, this time forcing Dark Shadow to turn 180 degrees to roar up at them. Izuku placed his fingers together as he looked at Uraraka. The brunette nodded, got everybody ready and released them all from her quirk.
[][][]
''He's firing!'' Sato said in wonder as the laser struck once more.
''Ready, Kirishima!?'' Kendo screamed back to Red Riot. He offered two thumbs up before being sent flying over head as Kendo flicked a 30 feet finger upward.
Kirishima had time to harden as he gained speed. He entered Unbreakable as he passed through the quickly disappearing form of Dark Shadow. He intertwined his fingers, raised his arms above his head and brought them down with all the strength he could muster. The beaked boy could barely summon enough of Dark Shadow to block, and took the full force of the vicious hit.
The bird boy plummeted fast. Momo would later estimate about 70mph. As he fell, he was just able to summon enough of Dark Shadow to cushion the fall, now that the navel laser had ended.
Kirishima landed elbow first into the concrete a few feet away from him and quickly scrambled to his feet. Tokoyami stood on shaky legs and called upon Dark Shadow, which was barely the length of his arms.
''Don't.'' Eijiro warned. ''Or I will put you down.'' He pointed down to the floor in a sharp gesture.
Tokoyami raised his arms, though he was clearly so unfit the suggestion of retaliation was ludicrous.
Eijiro sighed as he entered Unbreakable for the second time. He slowly strode towards the goth boy.
Fumikage swung using Dark Shadow, only for his weak hits to deflect off the redhead's impermeable skin. Kirishima gripped him by his throat, softened his hand and threw a hook that finally, finally, rendered the boy unconscious.
Eijiro huffed and gently dropped the bird boy. ''Damn. And my team still only has 3 takedowns…''
''Oi!'' Pony ran towards him with Momo, Sato and Kendo close behind. ''He finally go sleepy?'' Pony said in broken Japanese. It'd be annoying if it wasn't so charming.
Kirishima scooted slightly to reveal their target.
''Thank goodness.'' Momo said in relief as Shoto slid down on his ice to join them.
''Now we wait until we're all together and start the elimination game again.'' Kendo placed her tattered mask back over her eyes.
''You have been blessed to make it this far.'' Ibara walked down the remains of an apartment block on her vines. Izuku, Ochako, Setsuna, Mina and a now reassembled Monoma were safely contained in her hair.
''Surely the teachers don't want us to fight again after all that.'' Ochako tutted as Ibara leant forward and grounded her passengers.
As if on cue, the horn sounded out through the city once again. In unison, the heroes collapsed onto the ground, laughing and finally being able to rest their aching bones.
They remained there as Recovery Girl, her new assistants and the robots that had been seen at the Sports Festival swarmed through the enormous gates to Ground Beta.
[][][]
Izuku and Setsuna were side by side on separate stretchers as the robots carried them back to their dorms.
''Hey, Midori?'' Tokage asked softly.
''Hmm?'' Izuku opened an eye as he turned to his right to see her.
''Could we start hanging out again?'' She stared straight up, not wanting to look at him. ''I know I messed up. And I'm sorry. If you don't want that kind of relationship, we can always be friends again, right?'' She asked. The question seemed more for her than him. Tears slowly fell from the corner of her eyes and rolled down onto the stretcher.
''We both messed up.'' Izuku looked straight up too. ''It's honestly such a strange thing to remember…''
{}{}{}
(SMUT WARNING)
Izuku sat with his bed resting against the backboard of Setsuna's bed. He was engrossed in his manga and Setsuna was sitting at the end of the bed, engrossed in painting a new deinonychus figure she'd picked up at the mall when the two went window shopping earlier.
''Say, Midori.'' She placed the brush into a mug she'd filled with water that rested on the foot of her bed.
Izuku hummed from behind the thick manga volume.
''You like any girls in class?'' Lizardy placed the half painted figurine down too.
Izuku rested the open book under his chin as he stared at her back. ''Where's this coming from?'' He squinted in suspicion. 'Maybe she's planning on teasing me some more?'
''Well, it's just that we've been hanging out like this for almost half a year, and you've legit never spoken about a girl.'' She spun on her butt, crossing her legs as she faced him. ''So…?''
Izuku blushed. His mind immediately went to Ochako. She was the girl he thought of most when asked about crushes. ''N-No, not r-really…'' he lied.
''W-Well, do you like girls?'' Setsuna was trying desperately to make eye contact. He felt something on his thigh, but assumed it was just where her foot had come to rest.
''Y-yeah!'' His voice broke. 'God, I'm so dumb.' He chastised himself.
''Well, I like boys.. You like girls…'' The sensation on his thigh became a sensation by his hips.
''So should we act on that?'' Setsuna grinned coyly.
Suddenly, Izuku felt his shorts and underwear slide down off his hips and stop at his knees.
''Se-Setsuna!?'' He exclaimed. He instinctively moved to cover himself. Setsuna had already grabbed his flaccid penis.
''Oh, wow!'' Setsuna said giddily as he hardened under her touch. ''Ya know, I've never seen one of these in person.''
''W-What are you doing!?'' He finally got out through his stunned silence.
He watched as Setsuna shimmied out of her booty shorts and panties and detached her bottom half. The legs and waist hovered over just in front of his face.
''Get to work on that too, would ya?'' Setsuna said as she took the tip of his cock in her mouth. He jolted at the alien sensation.
''Setsuna, please, don't ju-'' Setsuna's disembodied crotch quieted him as it ground against his mouth.
''Please, Izuku!'' Setsuna cried as she took her lips off his member.
Izuku squeezed his eyes shut, conflicted. 'I-I don't-' He felt another wave of pleasure overtake him as Setsuna rolled her tongue over the head of his dick. 'I can't disappoint Setsuna…'
He let the book fall off his chest as he raised a hand to test the waters. He pushed her pussy of his face and quickly glanced all over. What exactly was he supposed to do?
He had watched porn, of course. But he wasn't expecting this to happen so suddenly. He stuck an index finger inside of her, experimentally. He took the way her legs quaked to be a good thing and pumped the finger up and down.
He slowly shifted her folds with his other hand and ran over her clit with his thumb. Setsuna moaned; the noise almost reverberating around his shaft as Setsuna gradually swallowed more of him.
He pushed his middle finger inside of her too and pumped the two digits in unison. He made sure to rub against the front wall whilst inside; he had read online that that was where girls would feel it most.
Setsuna's hips bucked into the rapid movement and Izuku mentally noted that his online reading was correct.
He bucked his own hips as Setsuna throated the entirety of his length, though she was gagging ever so slightly.
He looked back at her pink folds and clit. 'Maybe it's unfair if I don't…' He placed his mouth against the upper parts of her womanhood and flicked his tongue against her clit with varying accuracy.
He felt Setsuna lift her mouth away, her saliva quickly cooling on his cock. ''Y-Yes! You rock, Izuku!'' She said, audibly aroused, before taking him back in her mouth.
He felt some of his guilt fly away at that. If he was doing this, he was glad to at least be doing it correctly.
They continue their oral play for a few minutes, Izuku eventually finding the rhythm of fingering and licking.
Setsuna wrapped her legs around the back of his head as her hips began to buck even more wildly than before. With a final motion, Setsuna's bottom half flew up a good 6 or 7 inches.
Her juices sprayed over Izuku's forehead and ran down the bridge of his nose. Izuku's tongue, which had still been out, had ended up briefly entering her asshole before he instinctively lolled it back into his mouth. He was sure that Setsuna was perfectly clean, but he'd rather not get into that kind of stuff.
Tokage's bottom half raised up, and folded her legs as it sat sideways on Izuku's chest, her bare feet dangling off the bed. Setsuna continued to work on him. He was tempted to just push her off now that he'd made her cum, but the idea of his own orgasm being so close and the constant pleasure kept him from rejecting her.
About 20 seconds later, he reached forward and gripped a handful of her wavy, dark green hair. He had intended to pull her back as he finished, but Setsuna realised what the action meant. She went even deeper. His grip on her hair loosened as his release neared.
Setsuna raised her lips to about halfway up his length and waited. Izuku grunted as he came. Several spurts fired into Setsuna's mouth, yet she kept her lips tightly clenched around to prevent any escaping. She wrapped a forefinger and thumb around the base of his length and slowly trailed upwards, milking him for all he had.
She pulled his cock out of her mouth with an audible pop. She opened her mouth as she placed a hand on his cheek. He nervously looked at her face. Her mouth was almost overflowing with his seed. Then her lips met again. And she swallowed.
His penis twitched at the sight. 'That was hot.' He hated to admit.
She breathed out heavily and had her legs rejoin the rest of her again. He immediately tugged his shorts and underwear back up to his waist and leapt to his feet.
(SMUT ENDS HERE)
''That was nice, huh?'' Tokage asked with a cheeky grin. Izuku didn't smile back. He gripped his hair in his hands, his face the perfect picture of regret and confusion.
''H-hey, you okay?'' Setsuna stood and tried to reach out for him. He backed away.
''W-What's the matter, Midori?'' Her face shifted in worry.
He scoffed as his arms fell back to his side. '''What's the matter'?'' He asked back.
''What does this mean!?'' He was even brighter from his shouting than his embarrassment.
''What does what mean?'' Setsuna seemed genuinely confused.
''This! The sex! What are we!?'' Izuku's head fell into his palms.
''What do you mean, Izuku?'' Setsuna's voice was rising too, now.
''A-are we dating? Is this a one time thing? Do you like me?'' He asked shakily.
''Of course not! Why would I!?'' Setsuna yelled.
Izuku's eyes widened in shock. 'What does that mean?' His head was swimming. His eyes filled with tears. This was just too much.
''W-wait, that's not what I-'' Setsuna tried to get through to him. It was too late. Izuku activated Shoot Style and leapt to her door. He slipped his shoes on and opened the door.
''Izuku! Please, I'm sorry!'' Setsuna ran to the door. But it was too late. Izuku zipped down the corridor and down the stairs. Setsuna punched her door frame as she watched the green lightning trail disappear. She slammed her door shut and stormed over to her bed.
She grabbed the porcelain dinosaur and threw it across the room, shattering it as it hit the far wall. She curled up into a ball at the end of her bed and wrapped her arms around her legs. And sobbed. Had she just fucked up bigger than she ever had before?

Hello. Now I realise that Izuku and Setsuna weren't exactly obvious in the last chapter. For those of you concerned, she will not be a part of Izuku, Nejire and Ochako's relationship. But she is important for Izuku's growth and for his development of feelings for Nejire.
Those flashbacks I mentioned (in a previous author's notes) about how Izuku and Nejire fell for each other will definitely reference this heavily.
On another note; I really hope you enjoyed the battle and team-up aspects of this chapter. My action writing could use some work but I'm incredibly proud of this chapter.
Next chapter will be the fallout of the Joint Training Arc and some IzuOcha fluff (looking at you, Sweet Kagamine Kiss). It'll also feature some of Nejire's daily life as a hero.
Okay, until next time!
