My Hero Academia: The Guyver Part 12
Accomplishing Balance and the Hero Challenge:
Shaking with built up frustration, Katsuki Bakugo waited impatiently. He could not fully believe that he was here at the Mall, even with the opportunity to push Deku into the small Utility Closet really did not appeal to him. No he had been coerced to attend by one person and for some reason once she asked him to aid them. He somehow could not refuse. She had looked into his eyes and asked him sweetly to help put Deku and Momo back together. Katsuki's first thought and inclining was to flatly tell her to get lost. But instead he said okay. Which still bothered him. It was not her Quirk to control others, so how come he could not say no to her. Lost in his thoughts he barely noticed when the Girl now stood next to him. "They are on their way Katsuki. Are you ready?" She asked with a sweet kind smile.
"Yes. Lets get this over with. I have better things to do then hang out in this place all day." Katsuki said with pretend hostility. She continued to look at him smiling and he could not help but like it. Having no idea why.
Across the Mall. Kyoka Jiro, Toru Hagakure and Tsuyu Asui walked with Momo Yaoyorozu. It had taken considerable amount of time to convince Momo to go to the Mall with them and now they had to coax her along. On the other side of the Mall, Mina had to almost drag Izuku along towards the intended location. He at first told her that he was not sure he could go to the Movies with her. But Mina persisted and now he was there. Passing Fumikare Tokoyami who was hidden behind a Display. Reaching into his pocket he texted the others. "TARGET ON HIS WAY." Then he slipped out of concealment and circled around to join the others. At the same time, Momo's group passed a Small Store, where Mezo Shoji was waiting. He sent the Text that Momo was on her way as well. Coming out of the Store when it was clear and heading to the Food Court near the Movie Theater. By the time the two unaware teenagers each approached the Food Court, everyone involved knew.
At first when the Two saw each other, Momo wanted to turn and leave and Izuku wanted to do the same. Unable to face her with her seeing that he was at the Mall with Mina. Before either could react, Katsuki Bakugo pushed Izuku into the Small Closet that Hanto Sero had just opened. Ochaco Uraraku did the same with Momo and Sero slammed the door shut. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Momo demanded loudly from inside the Closet. Finding herself pressed against Izuku inside the Closet. There was barely enough room for both of the to be in such a confined space.
"You two are going to talk this out." Mina said standing close enough to the Closet door that they could hear her. "Now Momo you tell the truth to Izuku. Do not lie anymore. Until then neither of you are coming out of there until you do." Stepping back she smiled broadly. "Kyoka it is your turn." Moving towards the door, Kyoka Jiro plugged her earjack into the door. She would only relate the important details, such as they were once again together.
Inside the Closet, Izuku stood there with Momo pressed up against him. "Activate the Guyver and kick this door open." Momo ordered and Izuku shook his head.
"I can't. If I do you will be pushed against the door and it could hurt you." Izuku stated and then he grimaced. "Not as badly as you hurt me when you dumped me." He added and decided to ask. "What did Mina mean that you lied?" Momo swallowed, lowering her gaze downward and closed her eyes.
"I lied to you." Momo said softly knowing if she did not admit it, then Mina or Toru would. "When I told you that I believe that being a Heroine means that I cannot be with you. That I would not be able to be one if we continued being together. I lied. I never believed that bullshit." She told him and Izuku stared at her confused.
"Then why did you break up with me?" Izuku asked and Momo reopened her eyes. Tears were streaming down her face as she stared into his eyes.
"Because when I thought you had died at the Tower, it killed me. It felt like my heart had been ripped from my chest." Momo said mournfully. "I...I was scared Izuku. Afraid that...what if one day you are taken from me?" She was crying and he reached up and gently stroked her cheek. Wiping the tears away. She relished in his touch. "I do not think I could handle that." She wailed and she threw her arms around his neck hugging him tightly.
"M. I cannot promise that might not happen. It could to any of us at any time. But I..I cannot...I do not want to be...I love you Momo and I cannot see a future without you in it." Izuku said as he held onto her, not wanting to let her go. No not this time.
"I...I cannot...No Iz...there is...oh please stop me from saying something I do not mean." Momo pleaded staring intently into his eye wanting him to do something to keep her from lying again. He leaned closer and kissed her. Their lips pressed against each other and Momo lost all of her resistance, doubts, concerns and fears. She pulled him more tightly to her and kissed him harder.
"Iz please never leave me." Momo whispered then kissed him again. "And promise me if I ever am that stupid again, do not believe me." She said with a small smile and he nodded.

Outside the Closet, Kyoka unplugged her earjack from the door and smiled. "Mission Accomplished." She announced and turned towards the others. Giving Shoto Todoroki a small wink. The Ice Fire Quirker blushed. "Okay Shoto, lets go to see that Movie." She said to him and Shoto paled.
"Alright." Shoto replied and Kyoka stepped closer taking his hand in hers. Leading him off to go see a Movie. Katsuki started to laugh.
"Hah! Another in our class that is totally whipped." Katsuki said loudly, turning to leave. But a hand touched his arm.
"You could take me to see that Movie, if you want?" Ochaco said smiling at him. Katsuki blanched and shook his head negatively.
"Why would I want to do that?" Katsuki asked sternly, glaring at the others that were watching as Ochaco reached down and took his hand in hers. Interlacing her fingers with his. Everyone expected him to jerk his hand away, but instead he exhaled sharply.
"Because I want you to." Ochaco replied still smiling at him and Katsuki let her lead him towards the Movie Theater. None of the others said anything, fearing that Katsuki would lose his temper and begin to rant and rave. Once far enough away.
"When did that happen?' Toru asked gesturing towards Ochaco and Katsuki. Mina smiled and shrugged.
"Who the hell knows. I did not think that...well that Katsuki even liked girls." Mina said and both giggled. Glancing about seeing that the others began to depart. Sero unlocked the Closet door, cracking it open an inch so that Momo and Izuku knew they could come out when they were done doing whatever it was they were doing. Mina had to listen to her friend to complain about the fact that everyone else in class seemed to be getting together and she still could not find a suitable boyfriend. Mina admitted to Toru, that she also seemed to be having that problem.
Inside the Closet, Momo was holding Izuku tightly and did not want to let him go. They had just got back together and for the time being all she intended to do was have his arms around her. Izuku glanced at the brighter light emitting from the now unlocked door. "They unlocked the door, I guess we can go." He whispered and Momo made no move to release him.
"No not yet. I need you to hold me in your arms for a little longer." Momo whispered back, tightening her grip around him. Extremely tempted to somehow have sex, but due to the small confines of the Closet it would be virtually impossible. At that moment, Izuku decided to tell her about his time with Mt Lady. Not telling her who it was though, he did swear not to tell anyone. Repeatedly stating that even though he slept in the woman's bed, they did not have sex. That he had remained completely loyal to her that he had no intention of being with anyone else. Momo believed him. since in truth he did not have to tell her but he did anyhow. They reluctantly left the Closet an hour later to discover that none of their friends were around. "I guess they deduced that we got back together." Momo stated with a small smile, her right hand's fingers intertwined with his.
Uncontrollable Situations:
Grumbling with infinite displeasure, Katsuki Bakugo sat through what he considered to be the type of movie that only a Woman or a idiot would enjoy. He preferred Movies that had a lot of action, destruction and mayhem. What even made it worse, he paid for not only him but Ochaco. With a desperate need to leave, he was about to stand and storm out. Then Ochaco took his right hand and put his arm across her shoulders. Leaning against him, while watching the Movie. He lost all of his resolve in that second. Especially when she smiled at him. "What the fuck is happening to me?" He muttered not understanding how this Girl seemed to have the ability to make him do things he did not want to do. Outside the Theater when the Movie was over, the two noticed Izuku and Momo heading out of the Mall. They were holding hands. "Well it seems that your idea worked. Big Boobs and Deku are back together." Katsuki stated with a smirk. Ochaco glared at him.
"Do not call her that! That was rude and crude!" Ochaco declared and Katsuki grimaced.
"Sorry. I won't call Yaoyorozu that again." Katsuki whispered and Ochaco smiled sternly at him. Then led him through the Mall towards the exit. He stumbled along with a small smile which confused him immensely on why or how Ochaco could do this to him.
Challenging the Heroes:
With the Completion of the Written Exams it was time for the Practical. Listening while the others were being paired off to face the Teachers, Izuku could not help but stare over at Momo. They had been back together for about two days and both wanted to spend a lot of time with each other. As the Students were informed of what Teacher they would face off against, Izuku now within the Guyver barely paid attention. Until he heard something that puzzled him and also Melissa. "Wait. Wait. Melissa and I are not both going up against All Might?" He asked and Principle Nezu smiled up at the Armored Teenager.
"No. All Might wants to fully test Miss Shields and gauge her abilities thus far. If you are paired with her then, he will not be able to test her to her fullest potential." Nezu said and Izuku glanced at the other Pairs. He was the only one not selected to be partnered up with anyone.
"So who will I face and who will I be partnered with? Since it seems that everyone else has been assigned to face a Hero." Izuku asked and Mister Aiwaza answered.
"We are expecting some of the Students to fail their challenge. So it has been decided that when that happens, you can select one of them to be your Partner. As to who you will be facing, we have decided to with hold that information until you have selected a Partner." Aiwaza told him. Izuku winced, wondering who he would be facing for the Challenge.
Inside the Monitor Room, Izuku watched as Momo and Shoto Todoroki dominated Aiwaza. Though it took Momo some time to gain the confidence to come up with an idea to beat him. She had been shaken a bit from being defeated at the Sports Festival, the Incident at the I-Expo and her fear of losing him. All that contributed to her being insecure. But she overcome her insecurities and came up with a perfect plan. After congratulating her, Izuku left the Monitor Room. He needed to choose from 4 others that had failed the Challenge. Mina Ashido, Denki Kaminari, Eijiro Kirishima and Rikido Sato. "So which one of these four are you going to give a second chance to?" Aiwaza asked gesturing towards the four students that had failed the Challenge. Izuku looked over each one, Rikido seemed to be coming down from his Sugar Rush. He appeared to be weary and drained. Same for Eijiro. Glancing over at Denki and Izuku shook his head.
"I guess Mina Ashido." Izuku replied and Mina smiled broadly. Aiwaza glared at Mina and the other four.
"You are going to get a second chance, Miss Ashido and if you should pass. You will be one step above the three others, so do not fail this time. But you will still attend remedial training with the others that had failed the Practical Exam." Aiwaza informed her and Mina grimaced. She was hoping to skip the Remedial Training when they attended The Training Camp next week. "Now go with Mister Midoriya, your Challenger has requested to gauge your abilities Midoriya and will meet you at Training Area C." He told them and both left. On the way Izuku told her why he picked her and it was not because they were friends. Though it did help with his decision. Upon arrival, they were notified who they would be facing and both exhaled sharply.
In the Monitor Room, Momo gasped as she saw the person that Izuku and Mina were about to face. "You have to be Fuc...kidding me!" She stated barely stopping herself from swearing in front of the Students and Teachers that were assembled in the Televised Room. Principle Nezu smiled broadly.
"Yes, Endeavor has volunteered to challenge Mister Midoriya." Nezu stated. Kyoka who was standing besides Momo, glanced back towards the back. In the back of the large room, Shoto Todoroki was glaring at the Screen that was focused on his father. Slipping through the others, she made her way besides him. His expression was completely stoic as he stared. She nudged him with her shoulder, lightly and smiled at him.
"Are you alright?" Kyoka Jiro whispered and Shoto turned slightly to look at her.
"I am fine." Shoto replied in the same hushed tone. "Come on Izuku, kick his ass." He said with a small smile and Kyoka giggled.
Fighting the Good Fight:
Just outside the Training Area, Izuku and Mina were informed who they would be facing. "Well that sucks." Mina stated as she stared at the closed door. "I was hoping that if I did well enough then I would not have to attend the Remedial Training." She tried to smile, but just shook her head negatively.
"We have not lost yet. Remember what Mister Aiwaza said. Endeavor must want to see just how strong the Guyver Armor is. I suspect what Mt Lady told me, that Agencies are interested in me. So he has come to check me out." Izuku smiled and then activated the Guyver. Mina stared at him with confusion. "What it means is he will come after me and probably will ignore you completely. We can use that against him. Once inside you bolt to the best cover you can and then try to make it to the exit Portal." She then understood, while Endeavor focuses on Midoriya, she can win the Challenge. Nodding she now smiled and the door opened.
Using her Acid from her Special Designed Sneakers, Mina slid across the ground as fast as she could. Endeavor completely ignored her. "It will take the Pink Girl, five minutes to make it to the Exit Portal going that way. So I have that time to test your full capabilities." The Pro Hero said calmly, then unleashed one of his Fiery Blasts without warning. Jumping to one side, Izuku evaded the blast. "Not bad, your reflexes are quite impressive." Firing another blast and watched as the Armored Teen side cartwheeled to the left away from the flames. Lunging forward Endeavor charged at Izuku, throwing a fiery punch straight at the teens chest. Blocking the blow, with his left. Izuku kicked Endeavor in his own chest with his right foot. Flipping backwards and hitting Endeavor with his left Armored foot. Reeling the Larger Man, laughed. "Good. Now let us make this a real challenge for both of us." Increasing the heat, he melted the weighted bands off his wrists. Ripping a Metal Telephone Pole off it's mount he swung it at Izuku. With a snap of his arms, Izuku deployed his blades. Intercepting the Metal pole, slicing it before it came even close to hitting him. The Pro Hero rushed towards Izuku again this time he unleashed blast after blast of his Flames. Izuku evaded them all, grabbing Endeavor's right wrist with his right hand and swung the man around slamming him into a nearby park bench. The wood and metal melted and Endeavor smiled broadly. "That girl is a good 3 minutes away from ending this, and still you have only showed me some of what you can do. Come on bring your full capabilities to bare or I will have to force you to." Standing Endeavor inhaled deeply. The Flames enveloped him.

Up in the Monitor Room, Aiwaza grimaced. "We should stop this. One of them could get hurt." The Teacher whispered to Principle Nezu and the rodent administrator shook his head.
"No. Endeavor wants this and I believe that no matter how much of his Quirk he uses he cannot actually harm young Midoriya." Principle Nezu whispered back, keeping his eyes on the Monitor. "Let them continue until Miss Ashido makes it to the Exit Portal." He added and Aiwaza continued to frown. In the back of the room another was frowning as well. But Shoto was not really concerned about his Father being Harmed in any way. In truth he was hoping his Father did get hurt. Not because of what the Elder Todoroki did to him or his Mother. No it was because the other day his Father confronted him about Kyoka Jiro. Demeaning her relentlessly, stating that it was fine if Shoto wanted to sire some wild oats with the plain appearing girl, but he needed to consider someone that would provide a Child someday that not only inherited his powers of Ice and Fire. Along with perhaps some raw Enhanced Strength. That pissed Shoto off, he had no intention of following his Fathers advise on that. He cared and liked Kyoka immensely and would not mind their relationship being like Momo's and Izuku's. Without the problems. Glancing over at Kyoka.
"Can we step out in the corridor for a minute. I want to ask you something." Shoto whispered to Kyoka and she nodded. Wondering what he wanted to ask.

Evading another Blast, Izuku wondered if the Guyver could handle a direct hit by Endeavor's Inferno. Not wanting to find out. Deciding his best defense is to keep avoiding the Blasts and hope Mina makes it to the Portal faster then what Endeavor predicted. "You cannot avoid my Fire forever, boy! At some point you need to fight me for real!" Endeavor growled as he fired another flaming blast, barely missing the Armored Teen. Believing that Izuku was acting under reflex and did not have a plan.
While avoiding another Blast, Izuku considered his options. Yes he could fly upwards, but he suspected at that point Endeavor would turn his attention towards Mina and as he moved to intercept. Endeavor would be ready. He still was weary about testing if the Guyver could handle the high temperature that the Pro Hero was creating, so a direct assault was out of the question. "What counters heat?" Izuku asked himself. Of course Ice, but that was not available. Glancing over fifty meters was a Fire Hydrant. "All I have to do is let him maneuver me over to it." He thought and with a plan formed he avoided another blast of flames. Reaching the Hydrant, Izuku flipped behind it and ripped the top off the Metal bowl shaped top off. Water streamed upwards, cupping his hands he directed the stream straight at Endeavor. The Water hit Endeavor and turned to steam.
"Nice try Boy. But it would take a Lake to dose my Fire." Endeavor gloated as the Steam enveloped him and the Training Area. Izuku smirked behind his Alien Armored Mask. Slipping into the dense steam that surrounded him and Endeavor scowled with understanding. "Ah not bad Boy! Now what?" He asked and before he could ask again, he felt a kick him in the stomach from the concealment of the heavy steam clouds around them. Reacting he spun towards the Blow and was hit again from the left. Unleashing a Blast of Fire in that direction, he was hit in the jaw with a fist. Bellowing with utter rage, he blasted in several directions at once. No longer wanting to test Midoriya but to make him pay for embarrassing him this way. Reeling from another blow, he growled raising his arms he focused the Fire in a destructive almost Volcanic Eruptive Wave that decimated several buildings and melted everything around him. Breathing hard and gasping for breath, he smiled.
"You missed me." Izuku said floating thirty or so feet in the air, easily above the Wave of Pure Volcanic Fire. Soaring down and slamming another punch into the Pro Heroes Stomach. Bending over from the blow Endeavor grunted. Staggering backwards, he roared with rage. About to attack the Teen again.
"HEROES WIN!" A voice announced over the Speakers and Endeavor snarled. Then stomped towards the Exit.
"There will be a next time! Count on it Boy!" Endeavor growled, spitting out a mouth full of blood onto the melted concrete.

In the Corridor of the Monitor Room, Kyoka watched as Shoto paced in front of her. Unsure what he wanted to ask her. Listening to him almost babble in an unsure voice. "Okay I know we only went out twice...and I...well I like you Kyoke...a lot. Then when I saw you in that gown...you looked so...well beautiful and well...okay." He inhaled and then started pacing back the other way. Kyoka could not help but smile. He seemed so nervous for some reason. Though she felt her own knees begin to shake.
"Take a deep breath and well calm down Shoto. I like you too, a lot." Kyoka said and Shoto smiled broadly at her in delight.
"Okay I can do this...I hope I can do this...I want to do this..." Shoto started to feel sweat pour down his back, he swallowed and inhaled deeply.
"Do what?" Kyoka asked and Shoto stopped pacing.
"I really do not know how to ask this. I was going to ask Izuku how he asked." Shoto said trying to say what he wanted. But was having trouble finding the right words.
"Ask me what?" Kyoka began to feel a little frustrated, but she found his nervousness to be endearing. Closing his eyes, he took her hands in his. Then a wave of disorientation threatened to make him faint.
"Okay I was hoping...well I would like..." Shoto began to breath hard in and out. "I would...I would like to be your Boyfriend. To be a couple like Momo and Izuku." Shoto blurted out and exhaled with relief. Kyoka smiled, glancing to the left and then the right. Making sure no one was around. Then leaned closer and kissed him briefly. His eyes widened as he felt her lips on his. She parted and smiled again, leading him back towards the Monitor Room before someone noticed that they were not watching the Challenge. Turning her head slightly as they walked.
"Oh by the way that means yes." Kyoka said as she opened the door and they slipped inside.
To be continued eventually:
