"It's the first match of the second round. These two heroes in training have both been frontrunners in the sports festival its Midoriya verses…Todoroki! But which of these rivals will enter the next round!? Let the games begin!" President Mic proclaims as immediately Todoroki slams his snow-white boot to the ground sharp spikes of ice spewing out from the ground heading straight to Midoriya who stretches his hand out, curling his fingertips and letting out a huge powerful wave of wind, smashing the ice sent his way into smithereens, said shards thanks to the wind's direction aims right towards Todoroki, who creates a barrier behind him, shielding him from being thrown back. He braces for the wind currents and ice.
"Whooaaa!" Midoriya manages to break through Todoroki's starting move!" Mic proclaims as Sayako furrows her brow standing by as the others sit down watching the fight, her arms crossed over her chest. Todoroki slams his foot down again as Midoriya cradles his bloodied bruised finger only then for him to flick another finger again, crimson spewing out at yet another battered beaten bloodied finger.
"Oh, no crap I'm missing it!" Kirishima rushes into the seating area.
"You're not missing much." Sayako crosses her arms over her chest.
"Hey, nice job on making it to the second round Kirishima." Sero smiles at him.
"Thanks man, looks like I'm taking down Bakugo next," Kirishima smirks at Bakuago.
"I'll kill you." Bakugo snaps.
"Could you not say that with such a straight face?" Feebly, Sayako sighs sweat dropping at her straight-faced friend.
"Yeah sure in your dreams. No, but seriously it's crazy how both you and Todoroki both have moves that blast the whole stadium must be pretty nice." Kirishima exclaims.
"Plus you don't have to pause between attacks." Sero sighs at him.
"It's not as easy as you think you morons. If you risk overusing your muscles you risk tearing them apart if you sprint too much you run out of breath." Bakugo tells them.
"Not to mention if Bakugo and Todoroki do become heroes…" Sayako says.
"Hey what's with the if!? I will! So will you!" Bakugo barks at the groaning Sayako.
"Yeah yeah when they do, they'll have to be more considerate towards buildings and such collateral damage can ruin your career quite quickly…" Lazily, Sayako slumps in her seat.
"She's right. Quirks are physical abilities too. They can get worn out you can't just use them nonstop." Bakugo stares down at his arms.
"Makes sense when you put it that way. Wonder if that makes Midoriya think he can beat Todoroki." Kirishima points out.
"You want an endurance match? But I'll end this quickly." Once again Todoroki slams the butt of his heel to the ground as another wave of spikes hits but…
"SMASH!" Midoriya sacrifices another one of his fingers.
"Todoroki used up all of Midoriya's power and now is rushing over to him!" Mic declares as Todoroki darts over to Midoriya rushing over to the icicle spear towards Midoriya barely recovering from that blast.
"No! AHHH!" Midoriya cries out as his foot gets caught within the icicles produced by Todoroki only for him to reel his fist back after flailing to flick his third finger and creating a vacuum of wind from the single punch, creating a tornado of some sort tossing the spikes of ice thrown his way. The wind evaporates revealing Midoriya's bloodied bruised fist, fingertips clenched tightly alongside his teeth grinding together.
"That was much more powerful than your previous attacks. You're trying to keep me away smart." Todoroki acknowledges as he burses aside a hefty shard of ice acting as a barrier for him to slowly rise. Sayako's jade greens narrow noting the ice blue marks upon his skin.
"What's the matter? Are you worn out from defending against my attacks? I'm sorry about this but thanks for drawing it out. Look at him he's furious over me not using his power. With your hands like that you can't fight anymore, can you? Why don't we end this?" Todoroki proposes flicking his wrist once more as a wave of ice strikes at Midoriya.
"Whoa, Todoroki continues his overwhelming attacks! Could this be his finishing move?" Midoriya exclaims gushing over the tsunami wave of ice spikes spewing out, comes crashing down on Midoriya but…
"I am not done yet!" Roaring, Midoriya wails to the high heavens as he releases another wind blast, currents of gales blasting Todoroki back nearly out of bounds but before he could, Todoroki slams the heel of his snow-white boot down on the ground, creating a block of quick ice shielding, protecting his fall from behind, keeping him in the game despite the currents of winds pushing him back.
"Dammit with your broken finger why are you going this far?" Fed up, Todoroki demands from him.
"You're trembling Todoroki. It's easy to forget that quirks are physical abilities and that means there's a limit to the cold your body can take right? I get it usually you'd drop the temperature by making heat on your left side but you refuse to do that now. Listen, we're all giving it our all to try to win to make our dreams into a reality to become number one. You think you can win with half your strength? Look at me Todoroki you haven't managed to put a single scratch on me yet. So come at me with all you got!" Roaring, Midoriya screeches at him as he forcibly pulls his broken fingertips into a furious fist.
"Midoriya what are you trying to do here? You want my fire? What did my monster of a dad bribe you or something? Now I'm mad!" Todoroki snarls charging towards Midoriya as Sayako's eyes narrow noting his slowness, perhaps an effect of his ice quirk, Sayako considers humming thoughtfully at the thought watching on as Midoriya's fist flashes as he impales it into Todoroki's chest where he manages to coat a part of Midoriya's bruised bloodied arm, causing him to cry out as more blood spurts out from his hand. Todoroki continues sending pathways of ice towards Midoriya who narrowly avoids them the heavy coat of ice on his arm not helping matters as he continues flicking his bruised bloodied fingertips, releasing currents of waves at him but it does nothing in the long term.
"Why are you putting yourself through this?"
"I want to live up to people's expectations! I want to be able to smile while doing something good for them. I wanna be a pro whatever it takes to be a hero! That's why I'll give it my all! Just like you should be!" Bellowing, Midoriya yells to the high heavens staggering forward headbutting Todoroki in the stomach.
"There's no way I know what you've gone through or why you're even here. Your life has been so much different than mine but right now. Stop screwing around. If you want to reject your father fine but you don't have the right to be number one if you aren't going to use your full power!" Roaring, Midoriya proclaims using his bruised bloodied hand once again hitting Todoroki.
"Shut up." Slowly, ice begins crawling up his form.
"That's why…I'm going to win this! I'll surpass you!" Determined, Midoriya declares.
"I will reject you…I refuse…to use my left side." Seething, Todoroki huffs planting his palm flat against the floor, drawing a distance trying to regain his breath, glaring down at his hand.
"IT'S YOURS! YOUR QUIRK NOT HIS!" Pained, Midoriya cries out tears threatening to fall as everyone's eyes widen when those triggering words ignite something within Todoroki.
"He's using his fire!" President Mic exclaims as a bright ball of light sprouts out of Todoroki's fierce flame side sprouting out from his other side.
"About damn time!" Grinning, Sayako places her hands flat on the barrier leaning in eager.
"You're helping your opponent you fool. Even though you want to win this battle now which one of us is screwing around? I want it too. I'll be a hero!" Smiling, Shoto proclaims scolding Midoriya almost as he bares his flame to the world.
"Yes, Shoto have you finally accepted your purpose? That's it very good. This is the dawn of a new era for us! With my blood in your veins you'll surpass me you will live up to the reason I created you!" Proudly, Endeavor bursts in making Sayako's eye twitch slightly.
"Endeavor shouts words of…encouragement? What a doting father." Uncertain, Mic offers.
"If he had ended with just Shoto then I would be concerned." Dryly, Sayako remarks before furrowing her brow. Eh better than mine. Sayako thinks to herself.
"Amazing…" In awe, Midoriya whispers staring stunned by the display of raw power.
"Why are you smiling? With those injuries in this hopeless situation. You must be crazy. Don't blame me for what happens next." Todoroki declares delivering a devastating destructive wall of ice towards Midoriya.
"That's it Midnight one of them could be killed." Cemontoss slams his hands down on the ring trying to block both attacks as Midoriya uses his legs to leap over the wall to hit Todoroki ignoring the barrier.
"His body won't hold up!" Swiftly, Midnight agrees, tearing off her sleeve releasing a small perky pink gas.
"I see now Midoriya…thank you," Todoroki whispers to himself. Both wind and fire clash as Todoroki releases a burst of flames towards Midoriya's gale only then for a burst of wind to hit the audience.
"Holy crap balls!" Mineta cries out being flung in the air.
"Crap, crap, crap!" Sayako mutters under her breath as she is flung into the wind, flicking her wrist but the sheer power of the currents brushes her thread aside, making her eyes dilate in horror. She too is flung within the winds fortunately a firm hand grabs hold of her wrist, tugging her back down, making her look down at a familiar stoic masked male.
"Mezo thanks!" Relieved, Sayako sighs slumping over his form, sitting on his shoulder. His hand rests firmly on her thigh as she wraps her arms around him, the two clinging for dear life until the heated currents finally cease, and when they do…
"Mezo you lucky bastard…" Mineta glares pointing an accusing finger at both Sayako and Shoji who blink befuddled by Mineta's roar.
"Shut up Mineta." Sayako snaps scowling down at the grapefruit boy as the crazy currents finally end revealing Midoriya to be out of bounds, deeming Todoroki the winner.
"Wait…that means…Sayako aren't you facing Todoroki now?" Ochako points out as Sayako's eyes expand, widening when the realization sinks in alongside the dread as one word soon filters into her head.
"Crap…."
*I like to think we are all in agreement with Sayako if we were facing Todoroki. Also what do you think of Mezo and Sayako? Some say it's like the younger sibling and older brother dynamic would love to know your thoughts!*
