AN: And we are back! It's been a while I know, but some stuff has gone down in my life that needed my undivided attention. Things have calmed down since then, so I might, might! Be coming back to the regular schedule which is every two weeks. But enough rambling, it's been long overdue, so without further adieu, let's just jump into it!
Fun
It was now the following day and Izuku sat silently in Nezu's office with his eyes closed as the principle looked at him with a stern look on his face. "Are you going to say something, or are you just wasting my time here?" asked Izuku.
Nezu sighed, "Do you think what you did was wrong?"
"You have to be more specific," said Izuku, trying Nezu's patience.
"Bakugo, I said we would take care of him." Said Nezu.
Izuku scoffed, "Yeah well, I just sped up the process. Besides, he attacked me first, something you said he wouldn't do. Yet you allowed Aizawa, the hero who got fucken rekt by the villains, back into class? Where was the logic in that? Seems to me we both broke our agreement."
Nezu sighed, "You don't understand Midoriya, we have a way of doing things here at UA. Sometimes it takes a while."
Izuku then stood up, "Well figure it out, or I will. If you're looking for an apology you won't get one. Suspend me, kick me out, I really don't care. But do you really want everyone to know you allowed a dangerous villain on campus and failed to keep him in line? That sounds like a P.R. nightmare to me."
"You're on thin ice Midoriya. Another outburst like that and we will hand you over to the police. Is that understood?" Asked Nezu, staring down Izuku.
"You do what you have to do, and so will I." With that Izuku walked out of the office.
As he walked the halls he suddenly heard Venom scream. "This is bullshit! Does that rat think he can just threaten us like that! I'll kill him!"
Izuku grabbed his head, "Easy Venom, we can't do anything to him right now. And what's with you? You've been pissy all day today, what gives?"
"It's the hunger Izuku, we hunger, I need to hunt, to eat! We shouldn't be wasting our time here. There are plenty of criminals we can eat out there." Said Venom.
Venom wasn't wrong, thought Izuku, but he couldn't just let him loose again. If he did that Izuku would once again be a wanted man and his time with Kyoka would be over. "Look I get it, but we have to take it easy. I'll get you some more chocolate but that's all we can do at the moment."
"No! We need to hunt!" Yelled Venom into Izuku's head.
Using the wall to suppress him, Izuku struggled to keep Venom at bay. "Shut up! You really want to get out? Then figure out a way to get that device off of us. We can't do anything while that is on us."
Venom stayed quiet after that, Izuku went back to his class. During lunch Kyoka tried to ask him about what Nezu had to say but Izuku simply said that it was nothing. It had been a few days since Izuku had joined up with UA and things started to calm down in class. He wasn't fighting as much with Bakugo but did occasionally bump heads, without anyone losing their heads.
However there was another problem every day Venom was getting harder and harder for Izuku to control. The urges were just getting too strong, and since Izuku and Venom were one he too felt it.
Izuku would often find himself blacking out for an unknown amount of time and waking up in his bed. He asked Venom about it but he just said that it was fine and normal.
But one person could see something was wrong, Kyoka. Something about the way Izuku looked striked her as weird.
Day of the sports festival
Izuku and the rest of class 1A were sitting around talking with each other in a waiting area. Kyoka was talking with some of the girls, while Izuku sat alone on a bench. 'Why are you feeling nervous?' asked Venom.
'I'm not.' Answered Izuku.
'Bullshit, your heart rate is increasing and your palms are starting to sweat. Why are you nervous?' asked Venom again.
Izuku sighed, 'I don't know, just a feeling I suppose. I can't tell if it's the sports festival, or something else.'
'The person with the enormous killing intent.' answered Venom.
Izuku nodded, 'Yeah. They were directing it towards me but Kyoka was right there too. What if they go after her, or worse.'
'You can not think that way. If something does try to harm her, we will deal with them. Besides, no one short of All Might or that fire hero can beat us. Speaking of which, heads up we got company.' said Venom.
"Midoriya." Izuku turned around to see Shoto Todoroki standing behind him.
Standing up Izuku turned to his classmate, "Can I help you?"
The class fell silent as the two stared at each other, "Woah, what's going on here?" Asked Kirishima.
"I want you to know that you'll lose today. No matter what you do, or what power you have. I will beat you, simply because I'm stronger." Said Todoroki, with a cold expression on his face.
Izuku was taken aback at first, but that feeling soon turned to laughter. "That was a good one Todoroki. I didn't think you were a jokester." Said Izuku smacking Todoroki on the shoulder.
Todoroki looked down at his shoulder, "I wasn't joking."
Izuku suddenly stopped laughing, "So you're serious?" Todoroki nodded, "I see, well that's a shame. It's good to have dreams Todoroki but at least make them achievable. You'll never be stronger than me. I mean, you couldn't even help the class at the USJ. Where was your strength then?"
"I'm happy to show it to you, if you like." Said Todoroki as the air around him began to chill. "You second rate villain."
Izuku glare pierced Todoroki as they both looked like they were about to throw down. Venom then appeared around Izuku's fist as ice appeared on Todoroki's hand.
But before either of them could do anything, Kyoka stepped in front of them. "What the hell is this about? You two want to relax or what? We're in the same class for gods sake."
Both students deactivated their powers, "Just having a bit of fun is all. Right Todoroki?" Asked Izuku.
Todoroki nodded, "Yeah, just a bit of friendly competition that's all."
Kyoka wasn't convinced, "Right, so if you two are done sizing each other up, they are just about to call us up. So how about we save that energy for the sports festival?"
Without saying a word Todoroki turned and left, Kyoka breathed a sigh of relief. "Good, now you." Kyoka said, pointing her jacks at Izuku. "What's up with you? You've been acting strange these last couple of days. What's up?"
Izuku moved the jacks from his face, "It's nothing just, tired that's all."
But Kyoka wasn't convinced, "No, it's something else. Now tell me, what's bothering you?" Izuku stayed silent, Kyoka thought about it, "It's Venom isn't it? If something's wrong we can go to Recovery Girl…"
But as Kyoka was speaking Izuku interrupted her, "It's nothing, nothing I can't handle at least. Stop worrying about me and focus on the sports festival." With that Izuku went back to sitting down. Kyoka was about to say something when there was an announcement that class 1A should start heading down to the arena.
Getting up Izuku waited in the back with his head down. As they exited the tunnel the class were met by the cheer of thousands of people. "And here they are! The world famous hero course, class 1A!" Yelled Present Mic from his booth. "So Eraserhead this is your class, who has the best shot at winning?"
Aizawa, who was still wrapped in bandages, sighed, "They all have great potential, so it's hard to say who. But this year we have a wild card joining the class."
"That's right! Many of you may have noticed by now but we recently worked with the police to help a young troubled youth. You may also know him as Venom!" The cameras all turned to Izuku as he walked onto the field.
Some in the crowd went silent, while others, mostly women, cheered for him. Kyoka suddenly felt angry, "What the hell? He has a fan base?"
"Jiro, are you alright?" Asked Momo standing next to her.
"Yeah I'm good." Answered Kyoka with ice in her voice.
"We are fully aware of what he could do and have already put measures into place in case something does happen. Here at UA we believe everyone deserves a second chance, especially those who are misguided." Announced Mic.
'Misguided? What the hell is he talking about?' thought Izuku as he looked up to the booth.
On the field the rest of the first year classes began to show up. Once they were all on the field a loud cracking sound was heard. "Alright kids, that's enough talk. Now it's time to play." The students looked up to see the pro hero Midnightwalking onto a stage wearing her hero costume which left little to the imagination.
The boys all blushed, while the girls all glared at the hero. Izuku was unfazed by the hero but felt the daggers Kyoka was shooting his way. 'Looks like you're in trouble." Said Venom
Izuku laughed nervously, 'I didn't even do anything wrong though.'
"Welcome everyone to UA's sports festival! Now I know you'll all eager to get the show on the road. But first, let's hear some words of encouragement from class 1A's president Momo Yaoyorozu!"
Izuku narrowed his eyes as Momo walked onto the stage. Clearing her throat, Momo looked at the crowd. "As many of you know, the hero course was attacked not too long ago. It was a difficult time for us but it also proved to be a difficult time for the school. It showed that no matter what we do we should always be prepared for the worst. Luckily for us the brave work of our teachers saved us from the villains and for that we are forever grateful. But we will use this tragedy and make it into something amazing. We will show all of Japan, no, the world, that we will become heroes. And that even the most unexpected of people…." Momo then looked down at Izuku. "Can have an impact on others. Thank you and we hope you enjoy the festival!"
The crowd cheered as Momo walked off the stage. Izuku smirked, 'I think she's mocking me.'
"Thank you Yaoyorozu, that was very touching. Now let's get the games started shall we?" Midnight then pointed to the jumbotron. A wheel then appeared with several events, "And our first event will be!"
The wheel then began to spin and before long it slowed down before stopping. Midnight smiled, "Our first event is the obstacle race! This course will go around the entire stadium and will have several obstacles so be careful! You are allowed to use your quirks freely, just try not to hurt each other." Midnight pointed the whip at Izuku when she said that. "Now everyone please line up at the starting line."
"Oh this might actually be fun." Said Izuku as he walked with the rest of the class.
Now in the tunnel the entire first year classes were packed closely together. "Man they really didn't give us much room huh?" Said Kyoka as she was being pushed. However, that's when someone grabbed her waist and pulled her.
Stopping, Kyoka looked up to see Izuku, "You good?"
Kyoka nodded, "Yeah, thanks for that."
"Don't mention it, so, you got a plan?" Asked Izuku.
"Run I guess." Said Kyoka. "Why would I need a plan?"
Izuku then motioned to the front, "Because of him." Looking at the front of the line Kyoka noticed Todoroki, "He's planning something. My guess is he'll try to block us with some ice."
"That shouldn't be a problem. I can just blast my way through it." Said Kyoka waving around her jacks.
"You could, but I would appreciate it if you wouldn't." Said Izuku. "Weak to sound, remember."
"Right….so what do you have in mind?" Asked Kyoka. Izuku smirked as he leaned in and whispered into Kyoka's ear.
"That might actually work," said Kyoka.
"Alright and the students are set. Let's get this started! In three! Two! One! Go!" Yelled Present Mic as a loud horn was heard.
With the race officially started everyone took off, but since there were so many people there was little room to move. But as people were pushing and shoving Todoroki escaped and was now in the lead. "Sorry about this everyone, but there's someone here that I have to prove wrong."
Turning around Todoroki created a massive wall of ice in front of the starting line. "Woah look at that! Todoroki is sabotaging his class! What will they do to get past this!"
Aizawa looked up, "They won't get past it. They'll go through it."
The camera then switched over to the ice where out of nowhere it shattered creating a hole through it. "Did you really think this would slow me down!?" Asked Izuku, with Venom completely surrounding him. And much to everyone's surprise, Kyoka in his arms.
This was quickly followed by more shattering of ice. "What the hell half and half! I'll fucken blow you up!" Yelled Bakugo as he blasted through the ice.
Todoroki ignored them as he continued to run. But he himself was stopped when robots appeared in front of him. "Did you think we'd make it that easy?" Asked Mic. "Welcome to the first stage, the robo battle! These are the robots we used during the entrance exam so be careful. We even added some of the zero pointers for good measure!"
Standing before the massive robots Todoroki was about to destroy them when Izuku and Kyoka zoomed past them. "Don't just stand there, do something!"
Izuku then jumped into the air and began to climb up the zero pointer's arm. "You ready?"
Kyoka nodded, "Let's do this."
Pulling his arm back Izuku suddenly threw Kyoka high into the air. Everyone watched as she landed on the titans head, "Your armor is strong but the wires inside you aren't!" Jamming her jacks into the robot Kyoka sent sound waves through it.
The robot then began to spark and crumble as it's internal wiring was now destroyed. That's when the titan began to lean, Kyoka quickly got up and ran towards the edge. With a powerful leap Kyoka jumped off the titan.
The arena thought she was crazy or at the very least was going to get hurt. But now half way down the robot Izuku appeared and snatched her out of the air. "I got you."
"You better. Let's go, time to win this thing." With that Izuku flung Kyoka onto his shoulders and began to run. Bulldozing through the smaller robots Izuku and Kyoka made it to the second obstacle.
The second obstacle consisted of a long open section of the ground that had been hollowed out and now had pillars sticking out from the ground. "Now what?" Asked Kyoka.
Izuku smiled, "Hold on." Taking a few steps back Izuku then ran towards the edge and jumped off. He aimed for one of the pillars but unfortunately didn't make it. The two then fell into the dark abyss below.
However, that's when a black tendril dug into the pillar near the top. Appearing out from the dark was Izuku and Kyoka. Kyoka was screaming as she held onto Izuku tightly, "I hate you!"
Izuku smiled, "We both know that's not true."
Going from pillar to pillar the two of them made it to the other side while the others were just making it to the second obstacle. The two of them were having the time of their lives winning but not everything was fun in the stadium.
In the maintenance halls of the stadium, the worker was pushing a cart filled with cleaning supplies. "Man I should have stayed at that office job. This place is more labor intensive, but it does pay better. Guess that's what happens when you work for UA."
As the man walked he passed by an air duct, as he did a red liquid began to ooze from it. It splattered on the ground which made a sound, the man heard it and turned around, "Huh? I didn't see that." Going back the man grabbed a mop but just as he was about to clean it up a red tendril came down and grabbed the man by the neck.
The man struggled against the tendril as it began to lift him off the ground. Gasps for air were heard throughout the halls followed by a loud cracking sound.
With a thump the man's body hit the floor, his eyes bulging and his face purple. He was dead, that's when more of the red ooze dropped down beside the man. At first it was a puddle, but it soon reshaped itself in a tall red skinny monstrosity. "So, what do we do with this one?"
The creature was slender in size but tall in height. They also had the same white eyes as Venom had and the same razor sharp teeth.
Retracting part of the face it was revealed that Toga was underneath. "Do what you want. I only have one person I want. Izuku Midoriya, I'll make him mine."
Covering her up again the creature picked the man up and bit down on the man's head. Blood splattered across the walls and floor. "Yummy."
"Hey I won't be able to get close to Izuku like this. Let me take over for a bit. You'll have your fun again, remember what I promised." Said Toga.
The creature smiled, "The girl."
With its body folding and shrinking the creature retracted inside of Toga. Now free to move around Toga looked down at the pool of blood and sniffed the air. "Now this is what I call a good time! Let's go make Izuku mine, but in order to do that, I need the girl out of the way."
Back with Izuku
"And just like that Midoriya and Jiro are in the final obstacle! Midoriya may be strong but he'll need more than brute strength to get past the minefield!" Yelled Present Mic.
Stopping in front of the last obstacle, Izuku put Kyoka down. "Any ideas on how to get past this?"
Kyoka noticed several circles on the ground, "Those must be where the mines are, but we can't just walk across. Some of them are overlapping and there's no telling if all are visible."
Thinking Kyoka got an idea, "I'll use my quirk. If I send out a small vibration through the ground I should be able to feel where they are."
Izuku nodded, "Go for it. Venom, think we can do the same with our tendrils?"
'HA! That's too easy Izuku!' said Venom. Izuku rolled his eyes as his tendrils began to appear from his back and dig into the ground.
Slowly but surely the two were making it across, but by the time they took to find and get rid of the mines the others were quickly approaching. Izuku turned around to find Bakugo and Todoroki had passed the second obstacle. "They're coming!" yelled Izuku.
"I know! But if we mess up here we'll be blown back." said Kyoka. The two of them were about half way through the final obstacle when the runner ups reached the third obstacle.
Izuku looked at Kyoka and got an idea, "Keep going, I'll slow them down."
Underneath the ground Izuku began to grab the mines that he found, one by one he ripped them out of the ground and launched them into the air.
Todoroki and Bakugo looked up towards the sky to see mines raining down from the sky. "You think this will stop me!?" Yelled Bakugo as he used his explosions to dodge the mines.
Todoroki raised his hands and froze the mines in mid air. "Child's play."
Izuku flung the last of the mines he had around him. "Great, that only slowed them down slightly. Now what?"
'Now, we make sure they don't get past us,' said Venom.
"I like the way you think Venom!" Izuku then ran at the two at full speed.
The two students didn't even have time to react when Izuku appeared in front of them. "Hello guys, sorry but this is as far as you go." Grabbing their faces Venom used his strength and buried them into the ground.
With a loud thud the skulls of Todoroki and Bakugo smacked against the ground. Thinking he had knocked them out, Izuku stood up, "Too easy."
Turning back around, Izuku was about to go back to help Kyoka when out of nowhere an ice spike came from the ground and pierced Izuku through the shoulder.
"What!?" Izuku turned around but as he did he was met by Bakugo's hand. Throwing his arm forward Bakugo let out a massive explosion.
The blast managed to push Izuku back with the piece of ice still in his shoulder. Sliding to a stop a few feet away Izuku turned around, "Now this is unexpected. I never thought the two of you would team up."
The two hero course students now stood side by side with blood running down their faces. "This is only temporary, once we get past you it's business as usual." Said Bakugo.
Frozen mist appeared around Todoroki's arm, "Now get out of our way."
Izuku smiled underneath the symbiote, "So that's how you want to play it. Alright I'll bite, but fair warning, Venom likes to play with his food before he eats it." Grabbing the piece of ice in his shoulder, Izuku pulled it out by punching it out. Picking up the spike he threw it at Bakugo.
Bakugo reacted fast enough and managed to blow it up. But as the ice shards fell around him Bakugo's eyes widened when a black tendril attached itself onto his chest.
Pulling on the tendril Izuku yanked Bakugo towards him. With his other arm Izuku transformed it into a massive hammer and brought it down.
Thinking fast Bakugo blew up the tendril and jumped back just as the hammer was brought down. Seeing his chance Todoroki threw his arm onto the ground and activated his quirk.
Seeing the floor ice up, Izuku instinctively jumped up. As he did, several ice spikes appeared from the ground. Using them to his advantage Izuku swung from spike to spike.
"You idiot! You just gave him more room to move!" Yelled Bakugo as he rocketed towards him.
Seeing this Izuku once again threw down a tendril but this time Bakugo dodged. "Ha! Missed, now you're mine!" Yelled Bakugo.
"Oh I wasn't aiming for you." Said Izuku pulling on the tendril.
Bakugo then put it together, looking down he noticed Todoroki trying to freeze over the tendril. But he wasn't fast enough, colliding in mid air the two became an intertwined mess. "Get off me!" Yelled Bakugo.
However as the two struggled Izuku flew in with his arm pulled back. Todoroki saw this and created an ice shield but Izuku was too strong and shattered the ice.
Sending the both crashing onto the ground. As they laid there discombobulated Izuku wrapped them in a tendril. "You guys put up a good fight, I'll give you that. But you two suck at teamwork, if you fought me one on one you may have stood a better chance."
With that Izuku once again ran towards Kyoka who was still finding the mines. "Kyoka! Jump!" Yelled Izuku.
Looking back Kyoka saw Izuku running towards her. Knowing that he had a plan Kyoka did what Izuku told her and jumped. Coming in, Izuku snagged her out of the air and jumped. With a powerful leap Izuku managed to clear the last of the mines.
Landing Izuku put her down, "So who's going to cross the finish line first?"
Kyoka thought about it, "You can go, I'll be fine with second."
"Are you sure? I don't mind being second place." Said Izuku.
Kyoka nodded,"I'm sure, now go.''
"Well alright then." Izuku then took a step forward but as he did something stuck onto his back. Turning around he noticed what it was. "Aww hell."
With a mid level sound blast Kyoka managed to partially get Venom off of Izuku. Screeching in pain, Izuku fell to his knees, "Sorry about that Izuku, you just made it too easy."
Izuku watched as Kyoka crossed the finish line, 'She got us.'
Izuku smiled, "She sure did. Oh well, that's what I like about her, always unpredictable."
Crossing the line shortly after Izuku came in second. "Sorry about that Izuku, but I really wanted to take first. But I also didn't want it to be handed to me." Explained Kyoka.
Now with Venom fully retracted Izuku put up his hand, "Nah don't worry about it. I let my guard down. You deserved it."
"Thanks." Said Kyoka.
"But don't think you'll get off scot free." Said Izuku getting close to Kyoka.
Kyoka took a step back, "W-What do you mean?"
Izuku smirked, "I mean this." Lifting her chin, Izuku leaned in and planted a kiss on Kyoka's lips.
The whole stadium and everyone watching at home, watched as the two kissed. Kyoka's eyes widened, and after a few seconds they pulled away. "Now we're even." Said Izuku.
Kyoka was blushing but also had a very angry looking expression on her face. "Y-You, I'll get you for this!"
Izuku quickly ran away as Kyoka ran behind him trying to stab him with her jacks. But that's when someone came out of one of the tunnels in the stands, it was the worker from before. But in reality it was Toga using her quirk,'So, that's him? The boy you're after?'
Toga nodded, "Yes, and that girl is the one we have to get rid of."
'She looks tasty.' said the monster inside Toga.
"She'll pay for touching my Izuku!" Said Toga as her eyes turned bloodshot red. "But we must first wait for the perfect opportunity. Once we do, we strike."
Toga watched from the stands as Izuku and the remaining students were all told the next game, a cavalry battle.
She watched as Izuku teamed up with Kyoka again, along with another two of his classmates. She watched as everyone else targeted Kyoka's points as she was worth 10 million. Toga watched as Izuku did everything in his power to protect Kyoka, which only served to piss her off.
Every second of every moment Izuku spent with Kyoka just made Toga's blood boil. She was itching to just go down there and kill Kyoka right now and make Izuku hers. But Toga knew if she did the heroes in attendance would spring into action and then she could never be with Izuku.
Now it was time for the final event of the sports festival. Izuku, having survived the cavalry battle, knew that it was out of luck. For the actions of one of his classmates, or rather inactions most likely helped them win.
The person in question was Todoroki, during the battle he used his ice but that did nothing but slow Venom down for a second. But both Izuku and Venom knew that if Todoroki wanted to he could have killed them, for he had access to a fire quirk.
However Todoroki refused to use it, why is unknown. 'So he almost used it right?' asked Venom.
Izuku nodded, 'Yeah, during the last seconds of the fight he could have easily used his fire to push us back, but didn't. The real question is why.'
As Izuku thought about it, Kyoka suddenly put a hand on his shoulder. "Izuku, you alright? Midnight already announced the rules. We are going into the stands to wait for our match."
"Hmm? Oh right, yeah let's go." Said Izuku trying to play it off. They then walked towards the tunnel but as they did Todoroki appeared.
"Midoriya, we need to talk." Said Todoroki.
"Oh? What about?" Asked Izuku.
"Not here, let's go somewhere else. Just you and me." Said Todoroki.
Kyoka raised an eyebrow, "Why can't you say it in front of me?"
Todoroki turned to Kyoka, "This only concerns Midoriya and I."
Kyoka was about to say something when Izuku stopped her, "It's fine Kyoka, meet me in the stands. I won't keep you waiting."
Reluctantly Kyoka agreed, "Fine, just don't do anything stupid."
"When have I done anything stupid?" Asked Izuku. Kyoka smiled as she went up towards the stands.
The two boys then went off to another section of the arena. "Alright you brought me here, now talk." Ordered Izuku.
AN: Dun Dun DUN! Again sorry for the super late chapter! But we are back on track, hopefully!? Anyway Toga is in the stands waiting for a chance to get to Kyoka, but could she? I also skipped over the cavalry battle since I wanted to make up for lost time and progress that part of the story faster….I got something planned. Theories are welcome down below!
