Chapter 3

Sorry I got nothing this time.

Izuku Midoriya the chosen successor to the Number One hero.

Shoto Todoroki the favored son of the Number Two hero.

They were two of the strongest in all Class-A, and the two had been on a collision course since Todoroki's declaration of war at he beginning of the Sports Festival. He seemed hellbent on being the one to defeat the Quirk Inheritor. Todoroki had cornered Deku in the corridor just before the start of the third round.

He told him the motive before the declaration of war he issued against him earlier that day. He wanted to reject that horrid excuse for a Father, and show him he wasn't a tool, to prove he wasn't something to be polished and used, but a person with his own will. All Deku sought was to announce himself to the world, to let people know he was here.

It was clear that his goal was quite dumb in comparison. But still... he wouldn't just let him win their inevitable match. Everyone had put so much faith in him to get this far, his Mother, All Might, Uraraka, Iida, and everyone else. They all believed in him, which was the main reason he had reached this point, why he would give it his all, and yet... Todoroki was quite literally only giving a Halfhearted effort.

Honestly, it irked Izuku more then he cared to admit. Everyone in this Sports Festival had been giving it everything they had ,and even more, to achieve their goals and dreams, and Todoroki was literally only giving half his effort. That... he just couldn't allow that.

XXXX

If it wasn't for Deku's latest showing, most would've assumed the next match a one sided slaughter for Todoroki, but now things were a little more uncertain. But one thing was clear, the 2nd match of the Semi-Finals was a fight to behold.

The crowd was in an uproar as the saw the contenders for first place enter the arena. Both had proven incredibly impressive throughout the sports festival, each being leaders in the previous rounds.

Todoroki had proven to be quite the Powerhouse in his bouts with, especially his overwhelming victory over Sero, as well as percise attacks against the quickfooted Iida.

But Deku had made an impressive showing himself as a surprise ringer, he bested Shinso with relative ease after shaking off his mind control, and his victory over Kirishima showcased his skill for strategy.

A fight between these two was certainly one to behold!

Speaking of those two, as the entered the ring they were staring at each other with the most intense of gazes. Both weren't exactly super knowledgeable when it came to the other's fighting style, due to their previous fights not lasting very long. They both used such blinding speed in their attacks that, they couldn't get much data. But they weren't just flying blind either.

Todoroki spoke with determination laced in his voice, "So hear we are."

"Yeah, and only one of us can win." Izuku responed with equal

"Alright! It's time for the battle of CHAMPIONS! The SURPRISE RINGER IZUKU MIDORIYA VS THE UNSTOPPABLE POWER HOUSE SHOTO TODOROKI!"

The two rivals, started each other down with intense ferocity. You could almost see sparks flying between the two.

"He'll probably start with an ice attack."

"I can't allow him to get in close, with that speed and power of that new move of his."

Both analyzyed the other.

"So, the second we start-!" Both thought.

"BEGIN!"

"ATTACK!"

As predicted, Todoroki sent his opening move of a wave of ice racing toward his opponent. Quickly reacting, the greenette forced 5% of One for All through his body. Quickly dodging the incoming wave of doom, Midoriya raced forward only to be forced to avoid yet another barrage with a running long jump. "Thanks for the idea Ida!"

Smashing his joined hands down on his opponents head, he quickly spun around delivering a right hook to his face. Sent flying from the attack, Todoroki landed harshly on the ground wiping his poor face from the nasty bruise he was nursing as well as the bump on his head.

Damn that stung! He couldn't allow him to land to many hits like that.

Wait where did he-? The son of Endeavor was soon shook out of his thoughts, by yet another right hook but this time the stomach. Before he could be sent flying, his left ankle of his opponent before using a new technique he had learned from his mentor.

"Oklahoma Smash!" Spinning at high speeds, creating a miniature weak cyclone around himself he flung his opponent sprawling across the arena, only barely managing to stop himself from flying out of bounds, by conjuring up an ice slide.

He saw the green blur that was his opponent rushing at from the left, as he prepared and yet another ice wall to defend himself, his completely caught off guard by Midoriya's fake out as he spun around to his left side before receiving a blow to the stomach.

"That clever bastard." He was employing the same exact tactic, he had used during the Calvalry battle. Midroiya was consistently focusing his attack's on Shoto's left side where he couldn't defend himself to the fullest.

He needed to end this before certain... drawbacks started making themselves known. None of his other battles, actually lasted this long before so it was never an issue. But sooner rather then later, it would start to take it's toll.

XXXX

The Number 2 Hero inhaled sharply, while staring at the battle going on down below, with both incredible annoyance and disdain. Once again due to his childish rebellion, his youngest son was allowing himself to exploited. "Damn fool. Once again you're allowing that boy to take advantage of your own stupidity ."

Why did his youngest choose continue this childish rebellion, he needed to accept his destiny as his masterpiece, the one destined overcome All Might as the Greatest Hero.

The Midoriya boy's power was very similar to that of All Might's, although notably far inferior, it was still rather exceptional. However it seemed that as an inferior version of All Might, it would prove a suitable trial by,hopefully literal, fire at seeing how well his son could match the Faux Symbol of Peace. From what the horrendous performance he's seen, the boy's training was far from complete.

xxxx

"If this comes down to an endurance match, it's over. This needs to end NOW." Todoroki thought to himself with a clenched fist. The same green Blur came launching at him in a straight line once more, giving Todoroki time lay up his guard.

"He's trying to attack me in waves consistently, until I wear myself down. It's not just his quirk that's powerful. His judgement, reasoning, all his abilities are off the charts from what I've seen. I can't give him anytime to catch his breath. That's the only chance I have at defeating him. "

But speaking of breath, he saw that Todoroki's was clearly visible. On top of that the right side his body was being coated with ice , and he was clearly shaking. The Greenette's eyes widened as he came to a realization. "He's trembling. He must be reaching some kind of limit. After all the stronger the quirk the bigger the weakness."He calmly began to analyze the situation, hoping to think up some kind of plan.

"Midoriya! I'm sorry about this, but thanks for dragging it out. " The young dual quirk wielder had a small satisfied smile on his face as his eyes traveled to his father, cleary irritated at his son's actions . "Look at him. He's furious I'm not using his quirk. Thank for this, but it's time for this to end." He finished as sent another wave of ice flying at his opponent, quickly jumping to the side to avoid it, he felt something cold quickly crawling up his foot. It was a distraction! He looked to see his foot being covered in ice. He "Damn, not enough time to dodge!"

"This ends NOW."

At least that is what, the Heterochromian boy thought would happen. Suddenly his own attack was sent back full force as it was shattered with a huge gust of wind sending him flying back, just barely managing to conjure an ice shield before he was flung over the white line.

XXXX

The audiance's jaws dropped to the floor. That was INSANE! Why would he waste his time if he had that level of power at his disposal,.

A spectator in the stand commented, "He has THAT much power?! Why the hell wouldn't he use that earlier?!" Soon that same pro, would get an answer as she looked at the screen.

Midoriya had countered with full powered finger flick, and though it came at the cost of the pinky finger on his left hand being broken, he was still more then capable of fighting.

"Damn it. You broke your own finger to counter my attack, why the hell are you going this far?!" He demanded.

"You're trembling Todoroki! There's a limit to how much cold your body can take right? Your body can't compensate for the drop in temperature, usually you'd use the heat from left side to make up for it but you're refusing to do that. " The young man raised his head from the ground, with a determined look on his face before balling his right hand into a fist.

"Everyone hear is giving it their all, giving One Hundred percent to achieve their dreams." The Green Haired boy fixed his opponent with a hard glare before continuing But no

" But no you! What happened to you must have been horrible, and I could never understand just how bad it was, but there is no way in hell I'll let you beat me with half your power! With half your power, you haven't even put a single scratch on me yet! Now give me everything you've got!" He finished before send himself flying forward. You said you'd beat with only the power of your right side, then how come I don't even have a scratch on me yet?!"

XXXX

The Flame Hero looked down in slight surprise at his Master Piece's opponent. "Todoroki maybe your son, but he isn't you!" This kid, despite his annoycance of his meddling , was actively trying to force his son on the offensive, to unleash the full power of both sides. Not only that, but clearly the Introvert had been holding his power back as well.

Narrowing his eyes at his son's opponent he realized something else as well,the sheer power displayed from a simple finger flick, in terms of sheer power it was on par with that of All Might.

Across the stadium a certain blonde was having similar thoughts as well. "Young Izuku, what exactly are you trying to do?" The Symbol Of Peace wondered.

XXXX

"You want my fire?! What did my monster of a father bribe you or something?! You're pissing me off!" His blood was boiling at at this point, as he let that anger cloud his judgement , sent out another wave of ice from his foot. However this attack was far slower, and smaller then his previous attacks had been."Damn it, my attacks are weaker then before, the frost is slowing me down!"

Acting on pure instinct the Introvert lept into the air, to avoid the incoming glacier and land yet another blow.

Seeing the green blur make it's way to him, he quickly prepared to block but his body was to slow to ensure that. He had been overusing his quirk for too long, and it was finally catching up to him. Quirks were physical abilities not magic or anything like, they were muscles, and overuse a muscle and it would start to strain and tear, and his "muscle" was beginning to do just that.

Taking a page out of a pink skinned friend's book, Midoriya delivered an uppercut right to Todoroki's chin. The blow kept him suspended in the air just long enough, for Midroiya's foot to sink right into his opponent's ribcage with a round house kick.

"AND MIDROIYA HAS SUDDENLY GAINED THE UPPERHAND! NOW THAT'S THE ACTION I LOVE TO SEE!"

What the hell is his problem?! Why the hell did he care whether or not he used his father's power?! His rage boiling over, a small unnoticeable amount fire began to emerge from his right side. Quickly catching himself he stopped it, before a full flame could erupt. Yet again, the green haired boy had made him break his oath for just a second. "No, NO! He'll get what he wants at this rate, he thought venomously.

Taking advantage Midoriya went low and swept the cryokinetic/pyrokinetic users' feet out from under him and sent him flying back with another blow to the stomach, landing just inside the white line of the ring.

Barely picking himself up of the ground he raised his head to his opponent opponent , "I can never understand the pain you went through, our lives have been so different, but EVERYONE here is giving it their all so they can make their dreams a reality. You have no business being the number one Hero if you won't give this fight your absolute best!"

"What the hell is your problem?! Why are you going so far for this!?" The Boy demanded.

I'm trying to meet expectations. That's why I worked so hard, so I could find a way to control my power so the people who believe in me won't be worried about me injuring myself! I wanna become a pro, the best around, who always saves everyone, that's why I'm trying my hardest just like you should be! That's why I'll WIN!"

As he continued his struggle to get up , Todoroki croaked out,"N-No! I refuse-

"Think about it! If you keep doing this, you're giving you're father more control then he ever could've achieved on his own! And think about it! What happens if someone's in danger, and you need to use your flames?! You'll put people in danger just to spite your father!"

His eyes widened ever so slightly. He... he never thought about that before. But Still just a small part of him retained his defiance."No I WON'T use-

No. NO more! He refused to hear that same excuse AGAIN!

"It's yours! It's your power not his!" Midroiya snapped frustration laced with his voice. With that he once again, began to rush his opponent.

The youngest Endeavor froze as those words had invoked his memory of something, something Shoto Todoroki had forgotten so long ago. He suddenly began to hear his mother's voice as he remembered what she had once told him.

"Honey, you are not a prisoner of your lineage. It's okay to use your power to become who you want to be."

(Cue You say Run AN: This is one of my top 5 favorite scenes of this whole show and just anime in general)

Suddenly and explosion of flames burst out from his body. Midoriya quickly jumped back to avoid getting burned.

"Deku, are you sure you can handle this?" Ochaco wondered in the stands, covering her face from the intense heat. The boy had promised he'd do his best to win, so why was he just goading his opponent instead of ending it. Why he was so admaant that his opponent fight as his best she wasn't sure, but she just had to have faith in his ability to win. She knew he could do it.

"Incredible. He's actually using his flames." Ida could only muttered in his astonishment as he recalled what Todoroki had previously declared about his left side.

"You made him use his father's power. Young Izuku... don't tell me you planned this from the start." All Might thought already knowing the answer. That was just who the boy was. If a person needed help, there was no force on the the face of the Earth that Could Stop Izuku Midoriya.

XXXX

As the crimsion inferno warmed his body, and melted the frost coating his right side Todoroki rose to his feet.

"Helping your opponent in the middle of a battle , you fool. Even though you want to win this just as much, no who's screwing around? Todoroki begged the question. "I want it too! I'll be a hero!" Shoto truly smiled, as his opponent had freed him from the prison of self-repression he had sentenced himself too. Midoriya returned it, with a shaky smile of his own amazed at the power he had.

It had been a long, looong time since he felt the power of both sides . Since he had felt the sensation of his FULL POWER. Since he felt the flames.

And to if he had to be honest... it felt pretty damn good.

The two locked eyes, and in that one instant, both knew what was next. This was the final clash of their epic struggle.

Wiping the tears from his scared eye, Todoroki warned, "You're out of your mind. I'll give you everything I've got, so don't blame me for what happens next." With that he began amassing huge amounts of both flame and ice on the both sides of his body.

Feeling obligated to go all out as well, Midoriya began to force the full power of One For All through his body. "Same here."

I'm sorry All Might, all our training was so I would hurt myself, but...I have to make an exception. Todoroki's giving it his all, I owe him the same. "

"One For All Full Cowling... 100%!" As he spread the absolute full power of his quirk throughout his body, he underwent an incredible transformation. His skin was literally glowing, as the sheer raw power of his quirk couldn't be properly contained by his body as energy began to leak out, specifically from his eyes which had become distorted, even his own tracksuit was being shredded by the pure power flowing through his veins. And that wasn't all, his hair had not only began to stand up, but it adopted a spikier appearance and began to glow.

"My bones feel like their grinding, but... nothing's breaking yet!"

"AND MIDORIYA HAS UNDERTAKEN AN AWESOME LOOKING TRANSFORMATION!"

XXXX

In the bleacher, The crowds' jaws dropped to the floor as the saw the appearance Midoriya's power had given due the sheer raw power he had flowing through his veins.

Young Izuku, you aren't holding anything back." All Might thought while he watched with anticipation as the battle below would soon reach it's conclusion.

Bakugo eyes were filled with venomous hatred looking like he would bore a hole in his former friend's skull ,nothing but pure unbridled rage became apparent on his face, as he saw the appearance useless Deku had taken on. The whole Sports Festival he had been hiding this, and now against Icy Hot he chose to unleash it"HOW MUCH POWER WAS THAT DAMN NERD HIDING?!"

That bastard better win.

Because he wanted to destroy that useless piece of shit with his own two hands. That worthless good for nothing Deku had been holding back, just to use his full against Todoroki. As if only he was worthy of his true power.

Just like Scarface was doing with his flames.

Clenching his teeth so hard that he was in danger of breaking them, he returned his full attention to display in front. "Deku. I'll destroy you, like I always have. I'll show the entire world, you're nothing but a pebble in my path!"

XXXX

Everyone knew what came next, this was it, the final attack. No holds barred, winner take all.

As the preparations for their attacks were complete, the two braced for the final attack.

"That's it Midnight! They'll kill themselves!" Cementoss roared before beginning to erect Stone walls to halt the two in their tracks. As the R-Rated Hero, tore of her sleeve.

Creating the lengthiest Glacier he could muster, with everything he had and even more that that, he fired it off toward the strongest opponent he had ever faced.

Launching himself forward at full speed, Midoriya cocked right fist back for an attack at full power 100% percent smash. "I'll give this everything I've got, not come at me with your FULL POWER TODOROKI!"

As he melted the ice and heated up the air in preperation for his final attack, he muttered," Midoriya... Thank You." Something that he meant wholeheartedly.

Walls of cement had emerged between the two, not that it even mattered as the full power of Midoriya's Wind pressure and Todoroki's heat ripped through the walls as if they were cotten candy.

The sheer force of the shockwave, completely decimated the stadium, as the spectators were hit with resulting shockwave of it. The two of those boys, the amount of pure power they possessed was insane! Midnight meanwhile, was knocked off her stand as her glasses, were sent flying from the wind.

As the pro got back to his feat, Cementoss thought aloud, "Having a great power doesn't make you a great hero, but these two are quite incredible."

"I've said it before and I'll say it again. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TEACHING THESE KIDS ERASER?!"

The attack had been devesating, the sheer power the two competiors displayed was unthinkable. And they weren't even sixteen years old yet.

As the smoke began to settle, everyone's eyes desperately searched through the smoke, too see which of the two worthy competitors had emerged victorious. was shocked at what they saw.

To see who was still standing. In the end, neither of them were.

And also keep in mind, Deku won't be needing surgery because this was NOWHERE near the level of physical trauma he put himself through in canon.

A lot of people feel like 5% Full cowling wouldn't be able to do much against Todoroki but I wholeheartedly disagree with that. They forget that eventually, Todoroki's weakness would make itself known he would have been slowed down enough for Midoriya to pull out the win.
