IZUKU SKIRT A WILD WIND
CHAPTER 22
AN: I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A WHILE, BUT I WANTED TO DO THE BAKUGO VERSUS MONOMA FIGHT JUST RIGHT. WHICH IN MY OPINION I DID JUST THAT.
UA SPORTS FESTIVAL
THIRD PERSON POV
The audience was in a state of unrest at the events they just saw as well as the information they were just presented with. Not knowing the current discussion that was happening in the nurses office, not even Nezu knew as even he not dare listen in on this family conversation. Even if he had wanted to, he was far too busy at the moment getting the crowd under control to listen in on this dysfunctional family. After going to commercial for forty-five minutes for Cementoss to fix it the crowd was still in a frenzy with social media blowing up. So as to get a chance to explain he distorted the Present Mic ghost pepper sound file he had to make it even worse than it was originally.
"Ahem, first thing first is due to Izuku Midoriya over using their quirk they will unfortunately be unable to participate in the next fight. As such we will advance to the final round between Katsuki Bakugo and Neito Monoma." Nezu said making the entire audience confused as well as a tad disappointed as they wanted to see a fight between Izuku and Bakugo after hearing that speech of his before the entire field blew up.
Aizawa rolled his eyes at this. "It is illogical to wait any longer, if people want to know more about All Mights family life they can find out after the festival." He said as ten minutes were given as the final warning to get down to the field.
Elsewhere in the arena during those forty-five minutes there was a certain brown haired gravity quirk user sulking in a hallway holding her knees. When a punk rocker girl with fairly long earlobes came across her thinking about how she should give up on Izuku Midoriya. Little did Jiro know that Uraraka was also thinking the same thing as she approached the girl.
"Hey Uraraka… are you okay?" Jiro asked not use to comforting people, or interacting with people at all.
Ochaco looked up from behind her knees and slowly stood up leaning against the wall as she noticed it was Jiro. "Yeah it is just…" Ochaco trailed off into silence.
"Just what?" Jiro asked silently urging her classmate to continue on.
"After what Bakugo said about none of us respecting Deku and looking down on him, I realized he was right. Deku could definitely do much better than someone shallow like me who thought I needed to change him." Ochaco said in response rubbing one arm with the other hand. That was until she heard an exaggerated chuckle seeing Jiro give a thin smile while shaking her head.
"Trust me you were not the only one who was being shallow. I thought I could love him while being jealous of him, I mean what would anyone little lone someone like him see in someone as ugly as me?" Jiro said insulting herself feeling like that was all she deserved right now, that is until she was suddenly grabbed and pinned against the wall.
"YOU ARE NOT UGLY! YOU ARE CUTE IN YOUR OWN RIGHT SO DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS!" Ochaco raised her voice she got mere inches away from Jiro face as they were eye level with one another.
This made Jiro blush as she remembered the thought that crossed her mind weeks back before the sports festival. Gathering her courage she steeled herself to ask the question on her mind. "So… oh screw it!" Jiro said deciding to give up on asking her and just going for it.
Ochaco was confused about what Jiro was talking about before she became even more confused when Jiro pulled her forwards into a kiss. For a moment she was shocked but then remembered what she thought of Jiro before the sports festival deciding to try it. Giving into the kiss she opened her mouth, tilting her head slightly to make it easier to get their tongues into the others mouth. A fierce battle for control over the others mouths began as the kiss continued to deepen, with Jiro wrapping her arms around the back of Ochaco neck. Ochaco responded by grabbing the punk girl by her thighs lifting her up accidentally activating her zero gravity quirk. Resulting in her pressing her body into her against the wall even more than before, as the space between their bodies was now non-existent. Intense moaning could be heard from them if anyone was around to hear it, which fortunately for them there was no one. After a good four minutes with little air they broke apart gasping for air, with Jiro resting her head on Ochaco shoulder.
"So… I take it you wanna give me a chance and be my first date?" Jiro whispered into Ochaco ear earning a giggle from her into their shoulder.
"Of course, but from now on call me Ocha ok?" Ochaco whispered back as she deactivated her quirk and they slid down to the floor beginning to cuddle.
"Got it Ocha, then make sure to call me Kyo." Jiro said quietly back resting her head on Ochaco chest as the gravity quirk user rested their head on top of her head. They would end up spending their time cuddling like this with Ochaco rubbing her thumb over the back of Jiro hand till what they swore was an earthquake had occurred.
Back to the present time with both finalists walking into the ring ready to face one another, but not before saying their piece to each other.
"Lets get one thing straight, I refuse to lose to anyone till I get to fight Deku again in a proper fight." Bakugo said not sneering but with a neutral matter of fact face.
"Same goes for me, I can see why you consider him a necessary hurdle to becoming a great hero, that is why I also cannot allow myself to lose." Monoma responded to his opponent before ripping off his shirt in a showy fashion. This confused the crowd and Bakugo, but unlike the crowd this made Bakugo more weary of his opponent potential plan of attack.
"GOOD THING MIDNIGHT IS BUSY OR ELSE WE MIGHT BE PRYING HER OFF OF MONOMA BY NOW!" Present Mic said laughing as Aizawa groaned thinking how too true that joke actually was. Before things could get more out of hand Vlad had declared the start of the fight at last. Especially since he did not want Midnight popping out of no where to interrupt him.
Bakugo started off with a long range explosion to see which side his opponent would jump to… however he did not jump to either side. Instead Monoma covered his face with his arms disappearing in the explosion for a brief moment before a blinding light filled the field and front row seats. Monoma who was now invisible burst fourth intent on getting as close as he could before activating one of his other copied quirks. He made a mistake however as Bakugo due to his quirk was more resilient to sound and light based attacks. As such he only made it about halfway through before Bakugo recovered from the blinding attack letting loose another explosion. This time he was far too close to run forward after taking the hit as he was, so Monoma activated another one of his stored quirks.
Bakugo for a brief moment thought he took them down or at least injured them significantly was shocked when he saw Monoma run through the smoke. Monoma had activated Kirishima quirk as supposed to his classmates due to the fact that Tetsutetsu quirk used the iron in his own body as fuel. And considering what one of his last two quirks were, he needed all the fuel his body could get. Neither of the two fighters missing a beat Monoma moved in for a right hook, which was met with Bakugo right hook clashing. Even with his explosions boosting his punch Bakugo still almost broke his knuckles clashing with the knock off of his classmates quirk. Monoma who held back a hiss of pains from the minor burns he got on his hands from that punch continued with a left uppercut sending Bakugo flying back. However before they got sent off edge he used his explosion quirk to launch himself right back at Monoma head butting him in the stomach. Despite the concussion he probably just gave himself, Bakugo wrapped one arm around Monoma waist while using the other to launch explosions.
Bakugo knew that he could not take them down with Kirishima quirk in close quarters, at least not in his current state after his attack from the previous round. So instead he turned himself into a rocket with the hopes of pushing his opponent out of bounds to win. Monoma however was clearly not gonna let that happen and dug his heels in using Kirishima quirk to slow them down. The only issue for them was unlike Bakugo he had a time limit with this quirk and the moment his time ran out he would automatically get shoved out of the ring. So while he was in a very uncomfortable public position, Monoma began punching Bakugo trying to get him off. After over four minutes they were only a few explosions from the edge of the ring when Kirishima quirk ran out of time. This resulted in a sudden jerk forward flipping them with Bakugo seeming like the first to land out of bounds. However he used two more explosion after letting go of Monoma, one to blast Monoma away from him so he could not interfere with the next one. The second explosion was aimed towards the ground to send him flying up before he transitioned into a Howitzer Blitz attack.
Monoma however seized this opportunity and activated his one of two trump cards after all this time. Using creation which he copied from Momo he was able create two bola throwing them into the attack, which due to the attack his horrible aim was not an issue. This had the desired effect as the twisting explosion caused Bakugo to get entangled immediately skidding to a halt on the edge fo the ring behind Monoma. After a brief moment of colourful expletives that would make even a sailor admit defeat, he blew up his restrains setting himself free. Moving in again but this time running on foot, Bakugo jumped up to dodge some small glass spheres thrown to his feet. Using an explosion to go forward he broke the spheres setting off an explosion underneath him sending him air born. Due to this he had to use a few explosions to correct himself midair landing on the opposite side of Monoma.
Bakugo could feel his hands being to hurt as he saw he had first degree burn after using his quirk so much. This was when he realized his opponent plan, drag out the fight till his own backfired on him, as much as he hated to admit it, this was a good strategy for someone like him. His quirks great power meant for heavy blows against his opponents, but the more they took a toll on him as a result. This means that Bakugo usually needs to end his fights quickly, especially when in a tournament setting like this where he fought one battle after another. Deciding he had to end it quickly he kept charging repeatedly getting his big attacks defused by those damn strings, the glass spheres that caused some minor shrapnel damage along his arms, and even oil which pissed him off the most. Fortunately for him Monoma body unlike Momo body is not fully adapted to the quirk causing them to exhaust the surplus of calorie he fuelled up on while waiting for the fight to begin. Despite emptying out half a vending machine he still was not as efficient as Momo with the quirk wasting calories. That being said, even if he was more calorie efficient like Momo his time was had just run out for her quirk. It was pure luck that he had managed to hold himself back from vomiting earlier when he got head butted in the stomach.
With his body now extremely low on energy Monoma was wobbling on his feet barely remaining standing, Bakugo was not nearly as exhausted but was in considerable pain due to quirk overuse with almost second degree burns. Vlad King noticing this had decided to call the fight and declare them both first place before they hurt themselves anymore. "Both contestants have pushed themselves too far, as such I de-" he was cut off by both students immediately. "STAY THE HELL OUT OF IT! I CAN STILL FIGHT!" Both fighters said in unison shocking both the audience and the teacher into silence. They were surprised themselves but decided to not waste what little time they have left to fight thinking about it when they could think about it later. Monoma classmates were surprised cause despite all his grand standing, he has never swore to anyone or talked back to their teacher. Nezu and Aizawa however were pleased by this, not the fact that Bakugo unintentionally taught another student how to swear. But the fact that both still intended to push themselves further and were able to clearly respect each other despite the ridiculous rivalry Vlad had started between the two classes due to his feud with Eraserhead.
Monoma and Bakugo stumbled forward as they attempted to run towards the other one with Bakugo being slightly faster. Unannounced to Bakugo, Monoma had copied Ochaco quirk earlier and had activated it just as he got in range of his opponent. Using the last of his strength he grabbed Bakugo arm, pivoted on his left foot and tossed a zero gravity Bakugo out of the ring falling onto one knee in the process. However in an act of desperation, Bakugo did something he did not know he was capable of till now. He used his feet to set off an explosion launching himself back at Monoma, causing his shoes to be blown to pieces in the process. Getting to his opponent Bakugo slammed into them with a right hook, knocking them out and as a result cancelling out Uraraka quirk. This resulted in Bakugo falling on his back as he twisted around mid punch and sliding shortly to a stop just barely staying awake. The crowd cheered in excitement at this epic end of a battle that was as intense as it was prolonged.
Nezu saw how Vlad was unsure of what to do for deciding the doctor so Nezu took over with his microphone. "Ahem, That was an incredible battle of wills and a fight that makes me proud of my two students. As for the winner, it is Katsuki Bakugo!" Nezu declared as preparations were being made to adjust the stage where the medals were going to be handed. During that time he asked Shiozaki and she denied third place saying Midoriya deserved it more than she did. With that decided the top three were soon ready to get up and make their way to the stage. Bakugo who was brought to the secondary infirmary as Nezu did not want to risk letting him near Recovery Girl at the time was the first to get going to the award ceremony. Monoma left second after Ibara had promised him she would help Izuku with walking up to the modified podium.
While on their way to the podium the two students had bumped into someone by accident as Izuku barely had the energy to keep on walking. "Sorry dear?" She said to the two of them after making sure Izuku was ok and walking off. With that minor distraction now out of their way, the two green haired students made their way to the arena to see what was waiting. Due to the state of the three students, mainly Bakugo and Todoroki, so instead of a three layered different levelled platform it was a flat board with three flags. Todoroki was being held up by Ida who insisted as the class vice president that it was his duty to help a fellow classmate. Bakugo turned down any help and was forcing himself to stand two crutches grinning as though he won something by not needing someones help to stand. Going from third to first place All Might first went to Izuku who was being held up by Ibara holding the third place medal.
"YOUNG MIDORIYA!" All Might said placing the bronze medal around Izuku neck trying to not show any favouritism as much possible. "DESPITE BEING AT A CONSIDERABLE DISADVANTAGE GOING INTO THIS COMPETITION WITH YOUR QUIRK YOU STILL PUSHED THROUGH. I am also incredibly proud of how you did not hesitate to help young Kendo like you did." He whispered the last sentence making Izuku blush slightly as he hugged him lightly failing in his attempt to not show favouritism. "Thank you… dad." Izuku responded so quietly only Ibara and All Might could hear, as much as it embarrassed him to call his idol dad they all agreed it was necessary to hide One For All for the time being.
Moving onto Neito Monoma, All Might had been passed the second place medal by Midnight to present it to the student. "YOUNG MONOMA! YOUR MASTERY OF OTHERS QUIRKS WAS SIMPLY INCREDIBLE, YOUR GRIT WHEN FACING YOUNG BAKUGO WAS ALSO BREATH TAKING. I KNOW THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL MAKE A GREAT HERO THAT WILL LEAD HIS SIDEKICKS WELL." All Might said putting the silver medal around the students neck. Monoma smiled back to the number one hero before speaking. "And I fully intend to not let myself fall behind your son." Monoma spoke smugly but made it clear it was in a joking manor. Either way this made All Might almost sweat slightly deciding to move on instead of returning this remark.
Taking the gold medal from Midnight to finish off the ceremony he stepped up to Katsuki Bakugo to present him his medal. "YOUNG BAKUGO! DESPITE YOUR RATHER ROUGH START TO THE SCHOOL YEAR, YOU PROVED YOURSELF TO BE OVERFLOWING WITH A POWERFUL SPIRIT! I was wrong to say to you what I said before, though you have a considerable amount of miles to run, I have faith you will make a great hero one day." All Might said to Bakugo with the last sentence being whispered as he was placing the medal around the explosive student neck. Bakugo simply stared at him for a few seconds before giving a simple unnoticeable to the audience nod. "I will be a hero, I will not allow myself to accept anything else." Bakugo said not yelling for once as he was simply glad that his idol was no longer looking down on him like he did before.
ALL FOR ONE LAIR
THIRD PERSON POV
All For One and Tomura Shigaraki were both intrigued by what they saw, both seeing through All Might 'love child' bluff. Unlike the rest of the masses these two knew the truth of Izuku Midoriya quirk, or rather quirks and their true connection to All Might. "SUCH INCREDIBLE HEALING POTENTIAL! WE MUST FORCE THEM TO SUBMIT TO TOMURA AND HEAL YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE MASTER!" The Doctor exclaimed blocking the monitors as he went back to the healing moment to repeatedly rewind it over and over again.
"For once I agree with you doc, we must use them to heal sensei as soon as possible." Tomura Shigaraki replied in a raspy yet overjoyed voice at the thought of healing his life changing teacher. Still wanting to find some way to pay him back for teaching him how to use his power to fulfill his goal of killing All Might.
