"I swear to god how many more times am I gonna pass out?" Leizcio mumbles as he slowly begins to open his eyes.

But he quickly closes his eyes for a second as a blinding light surrounds his vision. After he adjusts to the brightness, he sees that he's in some sort of field, practically an abandoned stadium.

"Man what kinda dream is this?" All Leizcio could remember was that he was about to head home from UA and everything kinda faded. Wait a minute...

Looking further ahead, he could see someone standing in the distance. It was the same girl who was with Mashito back at the sports festival. But why is she here?

"About time you woke up Esperanza, now stand up, you have a match right now."

Looking at the stands, Leizcio sees Mashito looking down at the both of them, standing with a serious posture.

"So not only are you going to reappear in my life after being gone for years but you're also going to kidnap me so that you can see if I'm 'worthy' of carrying your pathetic excuse of a legacy?!" Leizcio yells with a bit of a raised tone.

"You remember Hisako? She's the one kid who didn't end up being a disappointment, but you on the other hand, managed to suddenly rise to the top with that quirk of yours. It's about time you prove yourself." Mashito says, ignoring Leizcio's words. He takes out a small device and with a tap of it, the stadium is suddenly locked down with a strange barrier. Leizcio tries punching it only for his fist to be left in mild pain.

"You're not going to be leaving anytime soon. Not until you knock Hisako out and make yourself worth the trouble of being my prodigy or if you're still nothing but rubbish."

Leizcio has a small scowl on his face. There's nothing that he can do other than to comply and fight Hisako. But there has to be a chance that she doesn't want any of this to happen. Right?

"Look, Hisako, we don't h-"

Leizcio gets smacked in the face by a flash of light. Getting back up, he barely dodges the next attack. But from what Leizcio can gather, it seems that Hisako's quirk is something along the lines of making some form of construct.

Hisako Sokudo

Quirk: Electric Constructs
Using Kinetic Energy that they build up, the user is able to expel electricity and construct it into whatever form the user likes!

This battle wasn't in favor of Leizcio, Hisako was able to land blows left and right despite his speeds. Mix Mashito's training and Hisako's observations from the sports tournament, Leizcio's chances of winning this were looking slim. But then again, he wasn't really planning on throwing any punches.

Each time he tried to say something, he was cut off by either having to dodge or with a construct hitting him. He didn't know, but with each hit Hisako made, the stronger her constructs became, going to the point where Leizcio swore he could hear something in his body crack. It also didn't help that her quirk practically negated the electric part of his.

As Leizcio is knocked down to the floor, he tries for a desperate move in hopes that it works.

"Hisako, please listen! Don't you see how stupid all of this is?" Leizcio yells, clutching his ribs from the damage he's taken.

But she stands there, her eyes blankly staring at him, that regret that Leizcio could feel was probably the only thing stopping her at that moment from finishing the match right then and there. Mashito looks on with slight concern but quickly disregards it as a weak attempt of Leizcio trying to find his way out of this.

"Do you really want to continue living this life? Have you even gotten the chance to live your own life?" A look of desperation and sadness can be seen in Leizcio's eyes. He starts to make small steps towards Hisako, stumbling from the pain he's been feeling this match.

Mashito has already hurt Leizcio leaving him and his family behind. He could only imagine what Hisako has had to deal with, having to live up to that man's expectations of a "prodigy". She's been silent this whole match, but something was breaking through, and Leizcio had to help break that barrier.

"Don't you see that he doesn't care about you as family?! He just wants this career of his to live on!" Leizcio was finally able to walk calmly but he continued with precaution, he's counting on luck heavily for this to work.

As Hisako is about to say something, Mashito intervenes as he sees that Leizcio is getting through to her. It's one thing if Leizcio doesn't become his new prodigy, but he can't lose Hisako to this nonsense.

"Hisako, don't you see that this kid is just jealous of how powerful you are? Look at how roughed up he is and he hasn't left a single scratch on you!" Mashito yells as he attempts to keep Hisako in check.

Hisako looks at Leizcio dead on and he just stands there, not getting into a fighting stance. Leizcio doesn't want this pointless fight to continue anymore. She looks down at her hands and deactivates her quirk, with the constructs she made slowly dissipating.

"I don't want any of this anymore." Hisako says in a calm but cold voice walking up to Leizcio.

"You won't have to anymore, we'll find a way." Putting his hand on her shoulder as a sign of reassurance.

"The both of you are pathetic!" Mashito yells as he quickly turns the barrier off to drop down into the stadium and closes it off to make sure neither can escape.

"That's rich coming from you considering the lengths you go to continue this shit!" Leizcio yells preparing to fight as Hisako does the same.

"HAH you really think you can hurt me?! Have you forgotten about my quirk boy?!"

Mashito Sokudo

Quirk: Return to Sender

The user is able to take any physical hit inflicted on them that they can handle and return the hit with more damage. In order to use the quirk, the user must be able to withstand the hit, or they will only get damaged and not be able to return the damage!

"I really regret staying up trying to figure out the kinetic part but at least it's going to come in handy!" Leizcio yells recalling the night he spent up watching Mashito's interviews.

Not taking any more chances, Mashito slams the floor, using it to give him a boost and punch Leizcio directly. But before he has the chance, Hisako quickly formed a shield to protect Leizcio from the attack. Before the construct dissipated, Leizcio dashed himself and Hisako as far as he could in the stadium from Mashito.

"Do you have a plan Leizcio?" Hisako asks, wondering if there's even a way that they can beat Mashito and his quirk.

"I have an idea that could work so that we can break out of this stadium." Leizcio says with a new look of determination in his eyes.

"Can your constructs be strengthened by my electricity?"

"Yes."

"Hmm, okay so then the plan would be that I keep Mashito as distracted as I can, and when I generate enough energy, I'll let you absorb it. Since there isn't enough space for me to throw a high mass punch, I'll rotate and throw you at him, but use your quirk to form a shell of some sort. Mix my speed with your strengthened construct and that should be enough to overload his quirk." Leizcio quickly explains coming up with the idea on the spot.

"Got it, let me know when it's time to execute that plan." Hisako says sharing the same look of determination that Leizcio has.

As they both give each other a small nod of understanding, Leizcio bolts off to distract Mashito and build enough electricity.

"Just because you're fast means nothing Leizcio! You're still useless!" Mashito yells trying to hit Leizcio as he runs around Mashito in circles.

"Any dim-wit with a simple quirk could make it into UA with those easy exams! You've got no chance of being a hero like I am!" Slamming the floor, Mashito sends Leizcio down to the ground, but Leizcio has all the energy he needs.

"That's the thing Mashito. I'm aiming to be a true hero, not some fame-hungry bastard like you are." Leizcio says boldly staring Mashito down.

"Hisako! Ready!" Dashing back to her, Hisako grasps Leizcio's wrist, and Leizcio begins passing his electrical energy over to her. Before Mashito could try and interrupt the power transfer, Leizcio dashes the both of them away.

"Get ready Hisako!" Leizcio says picks her up.

'Just like how Mario threw bowser in that one game. God I hope this works.' Leizcio thought to himself as he began spinning Hisako letting her gain momentum.

"Lightning Impact!" Leizcio yells as he throws Hisako at Mashito. She Immediately forms a shell around like an armadillo. Mashito tries bracing himself for the attack but it's no use. As soon as Hisako's construct made contact, the raw strength of it was too much and Mashito was knocked down to the floor.

While Hisako takes a quick breather, Leizcio rushes over to Mashito to find the device he had on him that activated the barriers, turning it off, Leizcio throws it to the floor and crumples it.

"So what should we do know?" Hisako asks as they both walk out of the stadium. It was a good question considering that they only planned on how to beat Mashito and not exactly what happens shortly after.

"Uhhhhh gimmie a second." Leizcio said as he started thinking of what does happen next.

After a few seconds of Leizcio searching for ideas in his head, he comes to a rather "simple" conclusion.

"You could come live with me and my sister. Mashito can't do much considering we have evidence that he literally kidnapped me. But it's a really rash dec-"

"Sure, it was quite tiresome having to deal with his routines and such." Hisako says without hesitation. It's a bit worrying to Leizcio that she came to that conclusion that quickly, but considering its Mashito, it isn't too surprising.

Seeing that she agrees, Leizcio runs back to the cafe carrying Hisako. Now he has to deal with several problems.

Explain that he hasn't answered his phone for the past 3 hours because he was kidnapped by Mashito

Explain that they now have a step-sister that will be living with them

Getting a new UA uniform thanks to the battle

As Leizcio comes to a halt near the cafe, they both start walking over until out of nowhere Lavania hug tackles Leizcio.

"Leizcio! Where the hell have you been?! I've been trying to call you and even called Uraraka and even she didn't know! What who is this?"

"Ummm, let's go into the cafe, I have quite a bit to explain."

As Leizcio was explaining everything that had happened after he got kidnapped, Hisako was sent up to the guest room that would now be her room. It was rather small compared to the room that Mashito had her in but for some strange reason, it felt a bit better.

"So the reason why we're not going to report Mashito to the police is to blackmail him into giving up Hisako to live with us and attend UA with you?" Lavania said rubbing her temples as she was processing everything that Leizcio told her.

"More or less. It's good leverage to use against him. And quite frankly, Hisako doesn't seem like she's been able to be herself. Practically 10 years of her life were taken away from her. She deserves a chance."

Leizcio knows this is a rushed idea, but they don't have many choices going for them if they want to have Hisako live a somewhat normal life. Either way, Leizcio was ready to do anything necessary to help out.

"It should be fine. We're in a good zone to have another person living with us and she's also your age so you two should be able to get along fine. Well, eventually considering how shut-off she is clearly." Lavania says taking a sip from her coffee.

Leizcio sighs and slumps into his chair lazily grabbing his hot chocolate.

"Today went from winning 3rd place in the sports festival to getting kidnapped and now having another sister living with me. I think I'm ready to knock out for the night. Willingly."

"Go for it Leizcio, you need it after all of this. I'll help Hisako get settled in right now, go get some sleep." Lavania said scruffing Leizcio's hair as she went upstairs to help Hisako.

After finishing his hot cocoa, Leizcio headed upstairs and went into his room. He threw his backpack to the side and quickly took a hot shower. Putting on his pajamas, he looks at the bed and just sighs before flopping onto it.

'Today has truly been something else' was all that Leizcio thought as he drifted off into sleep.
