Chapter 13: Momo VS. Tokoyami and Ochaco Vs. Bakugo
Before Momo's fight was however a fight between Mina and Aoyama. Before it Izuku was muttering to himself with his notebook.
"Is he like that in therapy?" Tsuyu asked Mashirao and Ochaco.
"Sometimes." sighed Mashirao.
"Never with the notebook though." Sighed Ochaco.
And soon enough the fight began. It was standard at first… then it got embarrassing.
Mina started to dissolve Aoyama's belt (which not only held up his pants but helped him with his quirk), of course his pants fell down and he admitted defeat thanks to the weakness in his quirk (it allows him to shoot laser from his belly button, but it gives him a "tummy ache").
"Oh man, why couldn't it Mina who lost her pants! Seriously!" yelled Mineta.
Kyoka and Tsuyu played rock, paper, scissors and Tsuyu won, hitting him with her tongue.
Soon enough it was Momo against Tokoyami.
However Izuku put away his notebook.
"Good the notebook is away." Said Mashirao with a sweat drop.
"Well if Momo does what she perfected in our training then Tokoyami doesn't stand a chance." Said Izuku.
"Oh yeah you two trained together." Said Sato.
Izuku nodded, "There was something I helped her practice with when she wasn't helping me train" he explained.
"Why did you train together anyway?" asked Kyoka.
"No reason at all." Laughed Izuku.
"Does it have to do with why you couldn't hit that villain while you were out of it." Said Sato.
"You knew about that." Said Izuku.
"We were there you know." Pointed out Sato.
"Were you trying to get over that?" asked Shoji.
"Yeah." Sighed Izuku, "I was taught in my past life not to hit women, it nearly killed me multiple times."
"Really! Give me the details." Said Mineta.
Kyoka jammed him with her earphone jacks.
"That's really pathetic." Said Bakugo.
But of course Izuku ignored him.
"You think that was good training Yoamomo?" asked Kyoko using a nickname for Momo.
"It was… and like I said I helped her work on something." Said Izuku.
As the two competitors onto the battlefield.
Momo looked at her opponent.
"He is both skilled in a attack and defense." She thought, "But so am I! If I manage to create it right when the match starts I can win this."
"Begin the match!"
Momo immediately took off her top, revealing nothing but her bra.
"Trying to fluster me won't work!" said Tokoyami summoning Dark Shadow.
"That's not what I was trying to do!" called out Momo creating a flash grenade.
She activated blinding everyone from seeing what she was doing.
"Did you tell her to use that?" asked Ochaco.
"No." said Izuku, "She just needs time for her plan to work… she tried using a smoke bomb… but it didn't work as well."
When the flash finally dissipated Tokoyami saw what Momo did.
She was now decked out in armor that just covered her upper torso and in her hands was something similar to a shinai but clearly not made of bamboo.
In the Box the class was amazed.
"How did she make that?" asked Ochaco.
"What I was helping her with was getting the timing right." Said Izuku, "She has to create the armor piece by piece then put it together properly as quickly as possible."
"The reason why she didn't use a smoke bomb." Said Mashirao.
"Because it made her cough… a lot..." Said Izuku, "But with this, she practiced with her eyes closed."
"But the fact she created a flash grenade." Said Ochaco.
"Yeah…" said Izuku.
Kota began to sign to them.
"Yeah he told us when we teamed up." Said Izuku.
Kota nodded figuring out what Izuku figured out.
"Why what's going on?" asked Kyoka.
On the battlefield, Dark Shadow began to whimper.
"Fumikage! I'm scared!" it cried out.
"What!" said Momo shocked.
"I take it you didn't know." Said Tokoyami embarrassed by this turn of events.
"It didn't even cross my mind!" said Momo blushing, "Though in hindsight it would make sense for Dark Shadow to be weakened by light."
Tokoyami nodded.
"However I'm still going to give it my all!" said Momo.
She ran towards Tokoyami with her sword and began relentlessly attacking both Tokoyami with Dark Shadow.
However due to the shape that Dark Shadow was in, he knew he couldn't keep it up.
Dark Shadow did managed to push Momo back a bit, but it was only a few feet and nowhere near the boundary.
But it was only way he could do this.
"I give up." Said Tokoyami.
"Fumikage Tokoyami has given up, Momo Yaoyorozu is moving up to the next round."
In the box, almost everyone was amazed by the fighting.
"Since when Yaoyorozu do that?" asked Sato.
"When she got her past life memories." said Kyoka.
"Oh yeah weren't you with her when she was out of it?" asked Tsuyu.
"Yeah, you with Midoriya." Said Kyoka.
"I was, but he hasn't shown off what he can do." Said Tsuyu.
Izuku was blushing at this a little.
Ochaco sighed and got up, quietly and left the box.
Everyone noticed the way she left.
Mashirao and Izuku nodded and waited a bit until following her.
Meanwhile in the hallway, Iida was walking.
"Iida!" called out a voice.
He turned around and saw it was a certain gym uniform (which is probably the best description at the moment).
"Sorry about how I acted back there." Said Toru.
"It's okay Hagakure." Said Iida, "You did have a point…"
"He was hurting." Said Toru, "The stress gets to us sometimes."
"I completely understand." Said Iida, "Dealing with everything must be hard."
"Sometimes, but that's just me." Said Toru, "But I had an easier past life than he did."
"That does make sense." Said Iida.
"Anyways I'm pretty sure everyone's worried about Ochaco." Said Toru.
"Wait how do you know that?" asked Iida.
"I would tell you but the last time I told someone who uptight they went insane." Said Toru.
"What?" asked Iida.
"You don't want to know." Said Toru.
In the waiting room, Izuku and Mashirao arrived.
"You okay?" asked Izuku.
"I'm fine." Said Ochaco making a pretty terrifying face.
"That doesn't look okay." Said Mashirao with a sweat drop.
Ochaco sighed.
That was when Iida, Toru and Momo all entered.
"You had a great match!" said Ochaco.
"Thanks… but a good part of it was luck." Said Momo, "I didn't know that he was weak to light."
"But you still used your past life skills to beat him." sighed Ochaco.
She looked at her hands.
"Your quirk makes up for what you lost… mine doesn't." she said, "I just have to try hardest."
"Maybe he will go easy on you for being a girl." Said Iida.
Everyone in the room looked at Iida like he just said something stupid.
"What?" he asked.
"It's okay… You don't know." Sighed Izuku.
"You know you're so amazing Deku." Sighed Ochaco.
"What?" asked Izuku going to love mode.
"When I said we should team up because we're friends I don't know… maybe I was saying it so you could help me." Said Ochaco sighing as she got up.
"Is this another rival declaration?" Sighed Izuku as he snapped out of it.
"Uh… maybe…" said Ochaco.
"Enough is enough!" yelled Aiko from Ochaco's pocket causing everyone to sweat drop.
She took out the tracker and saw that the Aiko button had been pushed.
"He has had it with these Monkey Fighting Rivals in this Monday to Friday School!" yelled Aiko, "Also please be careful with sitting down or getting up when the tracker is in your pocket… I hate it when you guys butt summon me."
Ochaco looked at the embarrassed faces of the other tracker holders while Mashirao was confused.
"You've all butt summoned her before too, haven't you?" asked Ochaco.
The four nodded.
"She made fun of my room." Sighed Izuku.
"She did the same to me…" said Momo.
"I don't want to say what she said to me." Said Iida.
"She asked me if I went around naked in my house." Sighed Toru.
"I don't want to know do I?" asked Mashirao.
"No…" the five at the same time.
"Back to what I was saying." Said Ochaco, "You're so strong and you're always helping me… but… I have to figure it out on my own…"
"I know that…" said Izuku, "I just wanted to give you emotional support."
"Oh…" said Ochaco with a sweat drop, "I thought it was to give me advice about fighting him."
"I only know about your quirk! I don't know what you gained from your past life!" said Izuku.
"But I have to beat him!" said Ochaco becoming determined, "No matter what I can't let him get away with it."
Izuku froze when she said that.
"No." he said.
"What?" asked Ochaco.
"You should be fighting for yourself… not me." Said Izuku.
"Uh…" said Ochaco blushing.
"You said it out loud." Said Izuku.
"Oh…" said Ochaco.
"I know what he did was terrible… but it's not your fight it's mine!" said Izuku.
"I can't help it." Said Ochaco, "We're you're friends… all of us wants a piece of him."
Izuku turned around and saw the other three all had looks on their faces… well it was hard to tell from Toru but her body language said it.
Izuku sighed, "Weren't you just declaring you're my rival."
"Yeah you're kind of sending mixed messages right now." Said Toru.
"Look it's complicated okay." Said Ochaco, "I do want to be your rival… but at the same time… what he did to you… he can't get away with it!"
Izuku sighed. He knew from his past life that true friends did this stuff.
"You're right." Sighed Izuku, "Just be careful."
"What are you talking about." Said Iida finally speaking up.
Izuku sighed.
"Oh… um…" said Toru.
"It's okay… I was planning on telling him eventually." Said Izuku, "Just a second though."
He took out his tracker and pressed the Aiko button.
"How much time do you think we have until Ochaco's fight?" asked Izuku.
"Hopefully still a while… these two… these two are ridiculously similar…" said Aiko.
Reminder the match was Kirishima VS. Tetsutetsu, they were just so similar that they would end up fighting to a stalemate… no really…
"I'll give you the short version… just in case Aiko's wrong." Said Izuku.
"Wait… you going to tell him? I'll inform Hibiki when I am able to." Said Aiko.
Izuku nodded as Aiko left the device, then explained about how in past life as a child he was bullied by his brothers for not having any powers and how history repeated itself explaining how his quirk came late in life.
Of course at the end of it Iida at the a dark look on his face, but it was clear, much like everyone else who knew about it, he wanted a piece of Bakugo.
"I see…" he muttered.
"Maybe you should have explained it after the tournament." Said Mashirao.
"Yeah…" said Izuku.
Ochaco hit the Aiko button.
"They're about to do a double knock out… from what I can tell." Said Aiko, "But I think you can waste a minute. I have a way to get rid of your nervousness."
Ochaco heard her phone nearby ding.
She went to pick it up.
"What is it?" asked Ochaco.
"You'll see." Said Aiko.
Of course it was the video from earlier. The others also saw it over her shoulder, with Toru laughing, both Izuku and Momo face palming and Iida yelling "That is inappropriate to be viewed on school grounds."
Ochaco on the other hand laughed really hard.
"Yeah… thought you would appreciate it." Said Aiko, "Good luck!"
Ochaco took a breath as she put her phone away.
"Deku!" said Ochaco, "Let's meet in the finals."
"Ochaco…" sighed Momo.
She sweat dropped.
"And I'll beat you Momo to get there." Said Ochaco.
Izuku sighed as she left.
"Come on we should watch the match." Said Momo.
"Wait…" said Iida, "Just one more thing I have to know…"
Izuku knew it had to be what he told them.
"Did you ever escape?" he asked.
"You don't need to ask that question." Said Izuku with a smile.
Iida nodded.
In the teacher's box, Hibiki was sighing, mostly because Aiko was laughing a lot.
"That fight! There's so many I can make." Said Aiko.
"Aiko." Said Hibiki.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah… I already know… you know I had to be in two places at once." Said Aiko, "Not really a problem I don't know what my limits are, but I know the next fight is not going to be a good one."
"You're worried about the next fight?" asked Thirteen.
"I can't talk about why." Said Hibiki, "Confidentiality you know."
Thirteen nodded.
"But I will say this, Ochaco is not going to be happy during this fight." Sighed Hibiki.
"6 students are not happy with Bakugo… and 2 have already been knocked out." Said Aiko.
"Wait… 6." Said Hibiki.
"Headphones." Said Aiko.
Hibiki put on his headphones.
"He told Class rep about history repeating itself." said Aiko.
"Good." Responded Hibiki he already knew that the two were good friends, and would have hated for them to drift apart because of the reincarnation.
He took off his headphones.
"You know… you spoke in code…" said Hibiki.
"Who knows, it might get out somehow." Said Aiko.
"Good point." Said Hibiki.
And soon the two competitors got to the battlefield.
The two glared at each other.
Bakugo was somehow taken aback by the glare, due to it's harshness.
"Figured that I'd have to fight a member of the reincarnation club first thing." Said Bakugo.
Ochaco's glare intensified.
As the competitors were introduced by present Mic, he admitted he wanted Ochaco to win.
In the Class 1-A Box they all didn't know how to respond to that blatant favoritism.
"Seriously?" asked Momo.
"He basically flipped everyone off with the speech, can you blame him." said Kaminari, "Speaking off which, I don't know if anyone's seen this yet, but I found this video."
"I know that video! Don't you shouldn't be watching it on school ground!" said Iida.
"So you saw it." Laughed Kaminari.
Iida blushed at this.
"Should we tell Aiko it's getting around?" asked Toru.
"No she'll get a swelled head." Said Mashirao.
"But she doesn't have a head." Pointed out Toru.
"You know what I meant." Muttered Mashirao.
Meanwhile on the battlefield.
"And begin!"
She ran towards him very quickly.
However Bakugo was ready for it, aiming for an attack.
However Ochaco dodged without seeing her doing that.
"What!" thought Bakugo.
In the Class 1-A box…
"Whoa! She's fast!" yelled Kaminari.
"She is the reincarnation of a ninja." Said Tokoyami.
Back on the battlefield, Bakugo tried to attack her again, but she managed to easily dodge again, it was clear she was too fast for him.
However back in the box Izuku was concerned.
"Is something wrong?" asked Momo.
"I don't know how long she can keep dodging." Izuku, "Bakugo had an advantage the longer the battle goes on."
"Oh yeah his palm sweat, right?" asked Toru.
"Yeah, the more he fights the more he sweats." Said Izuku.
"But from the way she's moving she has a plan." Said Mashirao.
Toru giggled and moved her arm up, they assumed she was pointing up.
Everyone in the box looked up and were surprised.
Izuku slipped into Sanji mode as he smirked, "That idiot isn't going to notice it until it's too late."
However it was clear that the rest of the crowd didn't notice Ochaco's plan.
However Bakugo was of course unaware.
"I should have known someone who refuses to fight back was friends with Deku." Said Bakugo glaring at her.
He tried to attack her again, but of course she dodged.
However she couldn't help but to fire back that time.
"You're a horrible person you know that right?" as it slipped out of her mouth.
This made him so angry that the blast was much bigger than before, this time she was unable to dodge.
Those in the Class 1-A box flinched when that happen.
"Oh no." whispered Toru.
"It's still in the air though." Said Mashirao.
When the dust clear from the explosion, Ochaco managed to get up.
"Someone like you will never understand." Said Ochaco.
"Understand what!" he demanded as he set off another explosion.
But thankfully this one didn't caught her by surprise, so she was able to dodge.
Ochaco just glared at him.
She looked up and smiled.
"I think that's enough." She said rather coldly, "Release!"
Baku blinked at what going on.
Then a rock fell next to him.
He looked up and stared at the site.
Only a few in the stadium had noticed what she was doing, Monoma noticed and bragged about to his classmates. As did Aizawa and Hibiki (and by extension Aiko…)
However most of the most the stadium were yelling out in shock.
Turned out Ochaco's plan was for Bakugo to destroy the stage just enough to create chunks that she would float and then drop down when the time was right.
In the teacher's box Hibiki cheered.
"Yeah! That's my girl!" cheered Hibiki.
"You know… what's going to happen if two of your students face off?" asked Power Loader.
Hibiki just froze when he said that.
"Yeah… he can't handle that logic bomb right now." Said Aiko.
The other teachers stared at the device on Hibiki's belt.
"Yes, I am aware of the irony of the situation." Said Aiko, "Please don't point it out."
On the battlefield, Ochaco launched herself right at him. Ready for the final move.
However she had extremely bad timing as right before she was able to strike, Bakugo blasted away the artificial meteor shower with a huge explosion, And Ochaco was caught up in it.
She was sent flying and landed hard on the ground.
And it was clear she wasn't moving. Midnight went to check on her.
"Ochaco Uraraka has been knocked out, Katsuki Bakugo goes onto the next round!" she called out.
The box in Class 1-A was quiet, especially the four in the group.
And with that the final round and mostly done. They still had to settle the fight between Kirishima and Tetsutetsu.
However the first round of the finals were over… and unfortunately out of the in the group, only 2 would go onto the next round… and even more unfortunately… Bakugo would continue on…
Next Time: After Ochaco recovers, it's fine for Izuku VS. Todoroki. Will Izuku be able to get Todoroki to understand that his fire half is his powers... while at the same time able to beat him up using mostly his own fire? Find out next time!
A/N: I wanted to mention two things: First off, yeah I intentionally used the TV version of the Snakes on a Plane line as I felt that version would be funnier and fit the line better.
Also I wanted to reveal what Aiko did during the mention of the butt summons: Laughed at Izuku's All Might march, mock Momo's room size (we all know how big it is) and complement Iida on his ass. Also Hibiki made sure not to butt emergency beacon... the Aiko button was a little looser because it wasn't' as important...
