Chapter 12

Everyone watched as an iceberg covered the other half of the arena, Eri whimpered worried about her big brother being covered in ice, Inko gasped as she covered her mouth.

Todoroki stared at the ice and was sure victory was his. But his thoughts were interrupted by a whistle.

Everyone looked at the top of the iceberg and I was crouching on one of the spikes, I was giving him a dull stare, "Is that all you got?" I asked.

"Whoa how did he get up there?" Mic asked in shock, "He jumped the last second, we were too focused on the ice to notice." Aizawa answered dully.

Todoroki gritted his teeth as he sent another wave of ice over the iceberg, I glared and jumped again, using black whip to swing around, still staying in the arena, I landed on the spikes of the newly made ice.

"I can do this all day." I called, I didn't want to do this but I had to push him to use his fire. Todoroki glared and looked to the stands to his father, who's expression was one of anger.

I growled and pushed off the spike towards my opponent. "WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING TODOROKI?!" I yelled as I prepared a kick. His attention shifted back to me and he skated out of the way, I landed with a hard crash!

I groaned and looked around, the arena was almost covered, I needed to fix that. I tapped into OFA and turned it up to Overdrive. "Black Whip: Rampage!" I screamed as black whips shot out of my hands and started to destroy the ice, Todoroki dodged the lashing whips and I pulled them back as soon as the arena was clear again.

I spread my arms, "I'm still waiting Todoroki." I announced as he once again sent a wave of ice. I let out Black Whip again, it destroyed the ice, I felt my body straining but not as bad as before, my body was getting used to the percentage.

Todoroki shivered as he was getting cold, "What's wrong, getting too cold?" I asked as I walked closer, making him send another wave of ice, but it was smaller than the others, he was reaching his limits.

I shot out black whip, breaking the ice again. I kept walking towards him.

Ochako Uraraka

Ochako was surprised by how Deku seemed unfazed by Todoroki's attacks, he was even taunting him, if Deku spreading his arms was any implication, now he was blowing away those waves of ice like it was nothing.

"What's he trying to do?" Camie asked just as amazed. "Don't know but this is so manly." Kirishima said in awe.

Bakugo watched and growled, Deku… He was acting so smug, he couldn't wait to put him in his place.

Ochako watched, Todoroki's quirk was ice and fire, was Deku trying to make him use his fire? "Don't do anything stupid please." Ochako whispered.

Momo gulped feeling worried about her new crush, he was so confident but was playing a dangerous game, "Please be okay." She whispered.

Izuku Midoriya

I growled as Todoroki looked at Endeavour again, "HE'S NOT YOUR OPPONENT, FOCUS!" I screamed as I ran towards him and was able to land a blow across his cheek, "MIDORIYA DELIVERED THE FIRST BLOW!" Mic Screamed, the crowd cheered as I pulled him from the edge and threw him to the middle, "Stop thinking about him, It's just me and you!" I said angrily.

Todoroki growled and send another wave, this time I jumped over it and pushed off the spikes, the ice slowed his reaction as I punched him in the stomach

He stumbled and tried to attack me but I jumped back before he could do anything, "Your shivering, you could heat yourself up if you used your fire." I prodded as I cleared the ice behind me with a wave of black whip.

Todoroki got angry. "Did he put you up to this?" He asked, "No, he didn't, I just see that you are still not giving it your all!" I exclaimed.

I pointed at myself, "Your tricks may have worked for others but you haven't laid a scratch on me yet!" I screamed.

"Why are you going so far…" Todoroki asked as he tried to send another wave of ice at me, but it stumbled as he was getting close to freezing over, not good.

I frowned, "Because I know that you're hurting, I can tell, I don't want to be a hero to beat the bad guys, I want to be a hero to save people." I said. Todoroki's eyes widened as he heard my words.

"So what kind of hero do you want to be?" I asked, I could see the look in his eyes and in a flash, Todoroki's left side was set aflame. I shielded my eyes and smirked. Finally!

"I'll be a hero." Todoroki said with a wild smile on his face, the ice covering his body was melting, this was great! But how was I gonna counter attack… uh oh.

I could hear Endeavor's shouting at his son, I ignored it as I moved my hand away from my eyes.

"You're crazy for helping your enemy." Todoroki said, I laughed, "You're not an enemy Todoroki!" I charged OFA to 40%

He then raised his arm ready to fire, I gritted my teeth pushing it to 50%.

'Midoriya… thank you.' Todoroki let loose a huge wave of ice, I jumped into the air again, dodging the sea of frost. I gasped as Todoroki blasted a strong torrent of fire at me, "Harlem Smash!" I clapped my hands together, blowing the flames back and enveloping Todoroki.

I landed and dashed towards him, I blew past the steam and smiled at his surprised look, "You welcome." I mouthed as I punched him in the stomach sending him flying through his newly made barrier into the wall.

I pant as I winced in pain, I looked down, yup, I needed to see Recovery Girl.

"TODOROKI IS OUT OF BOUNDS, MIDORIYA IS THE WINNER!" The crowd went wild at Midnight's announcement.

Weird, they didn't try to stop us this time.. Was it because of me not breaking my bones?

I limped over to Todoroki and saw him on the floor, unconscious, his shirt was burnt off, I used my good arm and grabbed his arm, helped him up.

"Lets go." I grunted as I took him to the nurses office.

We entered and I flinched at Recovery girl's glare. "Umm." I smiled sheepishly and yelped as she hit my shin with her cane.

"Sit down on the bed." She ordered, I sat down and let her heal any wounds I had. "You're lucky that you have a good hold of your quirk but next time don't push it for something like this!" She scolded.

I apologized as I got up stumbling, "Is he gonna be okay?" I asked her, looking at the unconscious Todoroki.

RG waved me off, "He'll be fine after some rest, just some bruising." She walked to attend to him.

I left through the door and was surprised to see all of my classmates running my direction. "MIDORIYA!" They stopped in front of me.

"Dude that was crazy!" Kaminari exclaimed, "You and Todo really destroyed the stage, Cementoss is fixing it so it'll be a while." Camie explained.

I blushed in embarrassment, "Ehh I may have gotten carried away." I chuckled, rubbing the back of my head.

"No kidding bro, you were going at Todoroki like a pro, hopping around." Kirishima smirked, "Very manly!" I smiled bumping fists with the redhead.

"So how is he?" Sero asked, "He's unconscious, Recovery Girl is looking over him." I replied as we all walked back to the seating area.

Soon, it was time for Kirishima vs Bakugo. I was gonna go against Iida and I had a viable strategy already but what was on my mind was Stain… I couldn't do anything to help Tensei, Iida's brother.

I swallowed the lump on my throat, Bakugo won and glared right at me, but I paid him no mind.

I got up as did Iida and we went to our respective rooms, I passed a hall and saw Shoto walking away from his father, who looked really displeased, I continued walking.

I was useless… I couldn't help the people I KNEW needed it. I sighed, no.. I needed to focus… Sorry Tenya.

I stood in front of my friend, "So.. no hard feelings?" I asked with a weak smile. Iida smiled back, replying. "No hard feelings, just give it your all,"

I took a deep breath as Midnight started the match, Iida ran towards me, probably hoping to push me out.

I activated FC and rolled to the side, dodging his kick. I smirked as I retaliated with a kick of my own.

Iida blocked my attack with his arm and jumped back. "So it won't be so easy." He said, wiping the sweat from his brow, I shook my head getting into a stance.

Iida launched at me again, I used black whip to grab him, I pulled hard and spun him around, I let go, sending him flying to the wall. I winced as he hit it. "Iida is out of bounds! Midoriya is the winner!" I walked off the stage and offered Iida a hand.

"Sorry about that." I gave him an apologetic smile. Iida laughed and took my hand. "Don't be, I should have seen it coming." he got up and we went back to the stands, I bit my lip and looked at him.

Iida looked at me confused. "Is something wrong?" He asked me, "No.. just… nothing." I walked faster leaving him confused.

I gritted my teeth, next… was Bakugo.

Tokoyami was a bad match for Bakugo, I watched as Bakugo blasted his way to victory, without Dark Shadow, Tokoyami couldn't defend himself.

"Wow, I thought Tokoyami would win." Ochako frowned next to me, "He was a bad match, Dark shadow is weak to light." I replied as I looked at her. "By the way, what was that at the end with Bakugo?" I asked.

She shrugged, "I just felt power and then passed out." She raised her hand and levitated a drink. "I can still do it but." The drink suddenly drops as I catch it.

"So you need practice." I said, making her nod. "Don't worry, that's what we're here for, to train." I smiles at her. "You're up." She said as they announced the next round. "Good luck." She gave me a smile.

"Yeah, kick his ass!" Mina and Toru cheered. "If you win, you'll get a kiss~." Camie purred.

I blushed and got up. "GOTTA GO!" I ran off.

Ochako pouted. "Why do you have to do that?" She asked Camie, who shrugged. "He's cute and single, how can I not?"

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS THE FINAL ROUND!" Present Mic screamed, making the crowd go wild.

"IT THE LEFT SIDE, WE HAVE OUR EXPLOSIVE CONTENDER WHOSE TEMPER IS SHORTER THAN HIS FUSE! KATSUKI BAKUGO!" The crowd cheered as Bakugo stepped onto the stage, his face focused, Ignoring the jab from Mic

"AND IN THE RIGHT SIDE, MASTER OF THE WHIP!" "HEY!" Midnight screamed angrily. "SECOND! MASTER OF THE WHIP, THE ICEBREAKER! IZUKU MIDORIYA!" The crowd screamed louder as I stepped onto the stage sweat dropping at Mic over hyping me.

I stared at Bakugo who stared back with intensity. "You better remember our deal." Bakugo reminded me, I raised an eyebrow.

"Ms Midnight, before you start." I interjected. "For this round, I want us to have no ring outs." I raised my voice loud enough for everyone to hear.

I looked at Bakugo, "What do you say?" I asked, he gave me a savage grin, "For once, I agree." He replied.

Midnight looked surprised, she then pressed her fingers against something against her ear, a communication device?

Midnight nodded, "Understood." She said and raised her whip, "Principal Nezu has allowed it!"

I stared at Bakugo as I activated FC, Bakugo positioned his hands behind him. Midnight raised her whip. We tensed, the whole audience was silent in anticipation.

The whip came down. "START!" Bakugo blasted off towards me, I dashed towards him in a flash of teal lightning.

The moment we were about to make contact, Bakugo tried to hit me with a right hook, I immediately grabbed it, my eyes widened as Bakugo used his other hand to try and blast me.

I pushed him back and stumbled before he could blast me. "Nice try, Deku, I won't fall for the same thing twice." Bakugo grinned and blasted towards me again.

I growled and jumped over him and grabbed his collar, I spun and threw him to the wall, Bakugo used his explosions to stop himself and propel himself back to me.

"STAY STILL!" He raged as I landed and used my arms to block a blast to the face, my arms stung in pain as I jumped back, "Bakugo has landed the first blow!" Mic commented as I unleashed black whip trying to grab him.

Bakugo dodged and weaved through, using his explosions to repel the whips. "DIE!" He let loose a huge blast in my direction, I yelped and jumped off the arena onto the grass, I fell on my back as the explosion shot over me.

I rolled over as Bakugo landed with a blast where I was laying seconds ago. I shot up upper cutting his jaw and kicked him back, as he was stunned, blackwhip latched onto his leg and I pulled hard slamming him against the ground, he recovered quick aiming his hands at me, I jumped back as he tried to blast me again.

I jumped back into the arena and aimed at him, my hands in a flicking position, "Delaware Smash!" I shot 2 unstable air bullets at him.

Bakugo's eyes widened as he dodged and blasted into the air.

I shot two more before I flinched, my fingers weren't used to this.

Bakugo took the opportunity and sent a huge blast towards me, I jumped back and gave a powerful clap that blew away the explosion.

Bakugo growled and ran towards me with his hands popping with explosives. "Stop dodging!" I narrowed my eyes, I was holding back because I didn't want to end it too quickly but I didn't have a choice.

I charged OFA to 20%. I gritted my teeth and made a 'Bring it' gesture with a smirk.

Bakugo got angrier. "Fine, this will be the big finisher." He blasted into the sky and started to spin as he descended.

"Looks like Bakugo is becoming a living missile!" Mic screamed, I stood my ground.

"Howitzer Impact!" Bakugo screamed as he was getting closer, I jumped high as soon as he landed, I was blown back by the explosion but used a Delaware smash to propel myself towards him through the smoke.

Bakugo panted as he got up, his hands aching from the overuse of his quirk. I started to spin as well, pushing the smoke away, his eyes widened in shock as I slowed down and aimed a kick right at his face.

'Sorry Bakugo But I'm winning this!' I screamed, "Las Vegas SMASH!" The attack landed, sending him flying to the wall.

I landed and stumbled, too much spinning, I looked at Bakugo and waited for him to get up but he didn't.

"KATSUKI BAKUGO IS UNCONSCIOUS, IZUKU MIDORIYA IS THE WINNER OF THE FIRST YEAR SPORTS FESTIVAL!" Midnight announced, the crowd screamed in approval.

I won… I raised my left arm in a victory pose, just like the one All Might did in Kamino.

The crowd became louder after that, I looked at the box where my mom and Eri were and I was happy to see Eri jumping up and down with a huge smile on her face with Mom crying tears of pride.

I walked off the stage and lifted Bakugo's unconscious body up to take him to Recovery Girl.

I was on cloud 9, I won the sports festival and got a big smile out of my little sister.

That lasted until i made it to the nurses office where RG started to hit me with her cane.

"RECKLESS! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HIM IF YOU DIDN'T HOLD BACK!" She continued to hit my kneecaps with her cane.

"Ow, I had to give him a fight or he wouldn't take the lose! OW!" I sat on the bed rubbing my sore kneecaps.

RG huffed and started to tend to Bakugo.

The door opened and Eri came running in. "You won you won you won!" She jumped in my arms, repeating the same phrase with an adorable smile on her face.

I laughed and hugged her tightly "Of course, I made a promise didn't I?" I saw my mom running in, crying.

"Oh my baby Izuku!" She hugged me and Eri tightly. "I'm so proud of you!" She cried and I couldn't help but tear up and hug her back with a wide smile.

"Thanks mom." I whispered. "For believing in me." She pulls away, wiping her tears. "I will always support you Izuku." She said shakily.

Eri tugged my jacket, "Is he okay?" She asked as she pointed to Bakugo.

I looked at my rival and nodded, "Yeah, he's okay."

Then the doors swung open again, with most of my classmates coming in. "MIDORIYA!"

"QUIET DOWN AND ONE AT A TIME!" RG screeched as she pushed some of them out.

Ochako, Kirishima, Mina and Kaminari came up to me, smiling, "You won!" Ochako cheered and I returned her smile.

"Yeah, it was hard but It was worth it." I gave her a thumbs up, "I kept my promise to you." I said. Ochako blushed and smiled shyly, "Yeah.."

Mina and Kaminari looked at her with teasing smiles.

I looked behind them, "What happened to Iida?" I asked, but I already knew the answer.

Mina frowned, "Oh he had to leave because of a family emergency." Ingenium…

I nodded, "I understand that." I looked at my mom and was surprised to see her crying again, "Mom what's wrong?" I asked.

"MY BABY HAS SO MANY FRIENDS!" She wailed and hugged me tightly, I blushed in embarrassment. Kaminari and Mina were grinning mischievously.

I gave them a "Don't you dare." look. Thankfully before they could say anything, Bakugo woke up with a groan.

I won our bet, i didn't have to tell him anything… but then he wouldn't trust me, Bakugo had his rough patches but was an amazing hero.

I closed my eyes making my decision.

I stood in the 1st place podium, Bakugo, who looked upset but not raging, was in the 2nd place podium and Tokoyami was in 3rd place, Iida was supposed to be there but he wasn't.

I tuned out Midnight's words as I stared at Bakugo, he wasn't even mad about coming in second.

I saw All Might come flying down, "I AM HERE, TO AWARD THE MEDALS!" He landed with a loud thud. I suppose Midnight didn't speak over him.

All might placed the bronze medal around Tokoyami's neck and gave him a hug, I stifled a laugh at the edge lord's look.

"Young Bakugo, you have fought with tenacity and determination!" Bakugo snatched the medal with a grumble, better then before at least…

"And now, Young Midoriya, you have really made me proud today!" All Might as in front of me putting the medal around my neck, I took the medal in my hands and smiled.

"Thank you All Might and also, don't say Thanks for all your hard work, go with the motto." I whispered the last part, his eyes widened in shock and I gave him a wink.

He then laughed, "You know me too well my boy."

He turned around, "In the count of 3 everyone!" His voice echoed through the stadium.

"PLUS ULTRA!" Everyone cheered, me among them. This was something to remember.

Katsuki Bakugo

A day after the Sports festival, Bakugo waited by Dagobah beach, he was told to come here right after the festival.

He growled as he saw Deku walking to him. "Why did you ask me to come here, you won, you don't need to tell me anything." Bakugo spat. Deku frowned.

"I want to tell you Bakugo, I know that you hate me, but I want us to start fresh." Deku spoke walking closer.

"I want us to be friends and rivals, I'm not quirkless, nor do I look down on you." Bakugo scoffed.

"Yeah well if that's all you want to say I'll be leaving." He turned to leave.

"You were right." Deku said, stopping Bakugo in his tracks. "About what?" He asked turned back to face Deku, who's face was serious.

"I'm not izuku Midoriya." Deku... No the imposter spoke.
