With Aoi
She had finally managed to calm down and she too started having epiphanies about what she was doing. This was the second time Kagura had become so severely hurt because of having to do something villainous. And to be honest, she liked her life as a civilian model. She got to work on acting gigs, model for famous items and clothing brands and she loved going from a literal outcast of society to being recognized by tens of thousands of people across the internet, the country and to have a family of her own. Kagura she always loved, but the old doctor filled the shoes of a father to her. She wanted a mother, but she was content being in an all-male family.
She looked at her phone sadly while watching a livestream of the sports festival. She watched the kid Izuku and Ochaco plow through their opponents like butter. It all started with Izuku using and all speed mode to get Ochaco to suspend to make them float. Then she saw Izuku throw his opponents gently out of bounds. They then called for a small break and the livestream stopped right then for the break. She looked up to find the boy she kicked with a now giant bump on the side of his head. She just looked up at him as he got on his hands and knees and bowed down to her. He then said with his head down:
"I am very sorry for touching you inappropriately. Please forgive my insolence!"
Aoi just blinked and said confused:
"Why are you apologizing to me? I'm the one that kicked you".
"Because I should have backed off! You've had every right to kick and stomp on him! Personally, I have a nii-san that I respect highly and I would have probably hurt Endeavor too if he hurt mine like that! Your nii-san is an excellent man and he should not have become hurt by Endeavor for doing the right thing!" he said passionately.
"Thank you… um…" she stumbled as she didn't know his name.
"Iida Tenya!" he said extending his hand out.
"Aoi", she said grabbing it and shaking it.
"Oh… my daughter has met a boy for the first time? Should I have Kagura-kun check him out to see if he's dangerous or anything?" asked Dr. Fujitora with a cheeky grin.
"No need tou-sama!" she said embarrassed.
"A pretty girl like you doesn't have male friends?" he asked confused.
"N-no. All I need is my onii-sama and tou-sama! All the other boys my age are assholes that have zero respect for women and are just too damn horny to be friends with!" she said blushing.
"That is not true! You don't think that about men at all, you just never put yourself out there enough or you're too preoccupied with Kagura-kun", said Dr. Fujitora cheekily.
"T-tou-sama! Could you quit bringing onii-sama into this?"
"You are very dedicated to your nii-san! Is it because of his PTSD? If so, I wish you luck in being there for your brother!" said Tenya as he bowed again which made the girl blush and become embarrassed at his actions.
Before she could say anything to him, he then got up and left for the next round is starting. Dr. Fujitora quickly told her of the DEFCON 2 the two of them have called. She then got worried as they haven't needed to call a DEFCON 2 since Aoi and Kagura had a major fight over what middle school they wanted to go to. She wanted to ask why, but one look from him told her not to bother asking out in public. It was something to be said in absolute privacy. They then turned to the phone screen where introductions began to make way.
With Kagura
Kagura's emotions were completely all over the place. He wanted to lash out on someone, cry, scream, do whatever he needed to just to get all these mixed feelings out of his system. But he focused in on one core emotion, which was his anger. He zeroed on it and allowed to emanate from his very being. So much so that everyone started to look at a different person entirely as he made it to his side of the arena. He heard Present Mic bellowing:
"WELCOME BACK TO THE FINALS PHASE! WE ARE SO CLOSE TO DETERMINING A WINNER AMONGST THESE FINE PRODIGIES! NOW! TO MY LEFT, WE HAVE THE FIERCE MISTRESS OF FIRE AND ICE, THE LIONESS WITH THE SCARS OF WILDFIRES, THE QUEEN OF ALL THAT IS COLD! TODOROKI MARI!"
Mari came out to the arena receiving loud claps and cheers from all in the arena including students alike. She then made it to center merely looking forward in determination and anticipation. Present Mic then continued to bellow out:
"AND TO MY RIGHT! WE HAVE THE POWERFUL KING OF PHYSICS, THE SECOND MAN WHO IS DOMINATING THIS FESTIVAL AND POSSIBLY THE MAN THAT CAN DO NEARLY ANYTHING WITH HIS QUIRK! GIVE IT UP FOR FUJITORA KAGURA!"
The crowd then gave very fierce and loud cheers for him as he walked out vaguely composed, but just enough to hide his seething rage from everyone, but a few people. Aoi had seen it immediately how he was struggling to maintain composure in front of the crowd while the old doctor, Ochaco, Izuku and even Momo were able to see he isn't alright. All Might even cared to notice that something was off about him, but both Cementoss and Midnight failed to realize anything was wrong with him. Mari was the last to notice. She noticed the severity of how frustrated he was, but failed to realize what he was frustrated at. He looked at her and said coldly:
"So, you made it this far. I guess I have to teach you how to harness true power".
"This is what you call power? It looks villainous and evil", she said with distaste.
"So you have been told", he said stoically and coldly.
"Wait for the bell you two", said Midnight with assertion.
The fighters had become ready to fight as the countdown happened. Kagura's hair shadowed his eyes while Mari put her right foot in front of her. The bell had then rung; Kagura rose his hand up and motioned for her to attack first. The bicolored teen then let loose a giant glacier even bigger than last round. Kagura tensed up his muscles and in one whole flex of both of his hands, he shattered the ice into tiny pieces in one gigantic repulsion. The repulsion was so strong, it tore of his shirt and he was left standing there shirtless. Like the awkward teen girl Mari was who also never saw a boy shirtless, she simply gave off a light blush at seeing his bulging muscles, strong perfectly chiseled chest and washboard abs. The women in the arena had all started sporting huge blushes on their faces, some even having their tongues hang out like dogs.
During the surprise however, Kagura had rushed forward quickly leaving Mari surprised. He then struck out a kick right to her liver. As she hunched over, he then did a spinning heel kick. She then left the ground, only for Kagura to grab her left foot and throw and smash her like a ragdoll on the ground. Izuku slowly felt rage build up in his chest at seeing Kagura dish out such brutality on her. Mari finally got a chunk of ice to form to give her space from him. But he simply violently repulsed away the small ice wall which had sent her flying nearly out of bounds. But before she could land out of bounds, he reversed her magnetic pull to draw her towards him rapidly. Although instead of repulsing her away he landed a kick with his foot to the side of her head.
He then started landing a barrage of kicks to her head with his feet pointed like a ballerina. This caused some of her face to be cut up and because of how high he aimed, he essentially made her half blind from landing a cut on the right side of her forehead, just above the eye. Finally, when he was done kicking her, he turned to landing fists and punching her fiercely and mercilessly. She lashed out a punch, but he merely grabbed her left fist and punched her with it. She took the opportunity of him being so close to land her fastest ice attack at her, which didn't work as he took flight.
He then started to bounce all around her all while staying within the confines of the arena. Just then he started landing quick hits to her as he passed from one side to the next. He then seemingly vanished before her eyes only to reappear in front of her and pinning her down to the floor with his foot on her right forearm and his other foot on her left shoulder. He then had his fists raised and he said darkly:
"Now I will show the world how pathetic you are. Just like what your father would do to you".
Mari then had flashbacks of what he would do to her and in a terrified rage just screamed:
"NO!"
Suddenly ice had burst out of her shoulder at him in dagger like patterns. He dodged it, but did get cut. She then started throwing fists at him in a blind rage and sent streaks of ice at him. He then snapped his fingers and suddenly. Ice started forming rapidly on her right side, but it kept coming out and she couldn't control its direction and where it came out from. It ended up covering her whole right side of her body except her face. Kagura then looked at her as he held his fingers in a snapping pattern which made her slowly release ice from her being. He then said:
"I'm smart. I knew there was a chemical reaction that formed the ice at least once I saw your quirk in action. But that's not what I'm trying to say…"
"Then what do you want!?" she said angrily at being disabled by her own quirk.
"You are strong Mari. Stronger than you even know but you lock away your power by not using your left side and not using that hatred you have to fuel your ambitions and desires. Only your hatred can give you the power to come close to defeating me and even get out of your father's own shadow!"
She only looked down at her left side and thought about how evil it was and she also noticed how she was getting colder and colder to the point of having her body temperature declining to a rapid rate. He then said:
"Give in to it Mari. Give in to that little monster inside of you. It's the only way it will save you. Give in to it and then use that power it gives you to destroy anyone in your way. You know I'm right", he said insidiously.
She looked at her left arm and then just like that she embraced her anger finally after years of keeping it locked away. She roared and a surge of fire blasted from her left side and finally Kagura let go of controlling her quirk. He smiled at her and nodded to himself as he accomplished something good that day. She then used that newfound power and sent a vicious firestorm at him which he just barely dodged and Cementoss just barely helped defend the crowd from her storms of fire. Kagura then had to dodge blast after blast of fire, his hair on his body was getting singed and he starting turning pinkish from the burns coming his way. He then decided that she has learned enough so he simply had her polarity be attracted to the wall behind her and just like that she went out of bounds.
Midnight called the match and declared Kagura the second person to move on to the final four. He then came over smiling darkly and said:
"Very good. You're a natural at using your anger. Give it some practice and-
"KAGURA!"
He turned over to find Izuku glaring daggers at him as he jumped out of his seat and marched over to him. All Might had immediately taken flight and landed right in front of Izuku and rose his hand up. Izuku had simply turned around, picked up Mari and stormed off with her leaving Kagura behind. All Might then turned to Kagura and said:
"Come young Kagura! WE are going to have a discussion about your behavior! I should have done this sooner, but at this point you are making the teachers worried and you're worrying your fellow students too! We will find your father and discuss this now!"
He then grabbed him by the shoulder and guided him out of the arena. There was a light recess due to the amount of damage from Mari causing those firestorms. Speaking of the bicolored girl she was being held on tightly by Izuku who looked angry. She had to ask:
"Why did you get angry at Kagura?"
"He shouldn't have abused you like that. I heard him tell you what he was going to show you. But that wasn't true power he showed you. That was just rage taking over him and violently destroying everything around him. There is no restraint, no mercy behind his blows. He hurt you really badly… I can see where he broke your ribs, and it makes me sick! That he made you explode like that, degrade you and even go as far as to remind you of your trauma! It was cruel what he did! And I wanted to-
Mari then quickly pecked the boy on the cheek. This action had made him halt in his tracks. He then turned to face her and at that point neither teen could withstand the tension of what happened. Izuku had liked her and saw her as a woman ever since he first saw her in class while she admired him for being the first person to see her for who she really was and love her for her scars. They then embraced in a passionate kiss as Mari then put her arms around his head while Izuku fiercely grabbed her legs and propped her on top of him as Izuku stood up straight and pinned her to the wall. She let loose a growl and Izuku sucked and gnawed on her neck making her moan and pet his head affectionately.
She looked past Izuku to find Ochaco with a heartbroken face. Immediately she put two and two together and realized that she had a crush on him. Ochaco started forming tears in her eyes and Izuku asked out of breath:
"Is everything okay Mari?"
She just motioned her head for him to look behind her to find Ochaco now becoming hysterical. Izuku being the oblivious person he is just went up to her and asked:
"Ochaco, what's-
She then ran off leaving Izuku to reach out and grab her but she smacked away his hand. She then ran away leaving Izuku confused about what happened. Mari then had to say it to him:
"She liked you Izuku. Not as a friend, but as a crush".
He then had a look of shock written on his face, but then Mari fell to the floor. Izuku knew he couldn't chase after Ochaco without leaving Mari behind writhing in pain. So he didn't bother to comfort one of his first friends and instead opted to help the girl he liked instead. He picked her up bridal style and took her to the nurse's office where with a smooch, she healed her. Izuku then decided to stay with Mari and deal with a new unprecedented situation at hand. What he was going to do about him and Mari?
With Kagura
All Might had a firm grip over Kagura and he dragged him over to find his father. He found his father and had seen a beautiful teenage girl and asked the old doctor to come with him to one of the break rooms. Once they made it over to a break room, All Might literally spoke about all the things not only he noticed, the staff at UA noticed, the incident revolving around Kagura beating Katsuki to near death and also student concerns regarding him. Kagura meanwhile just stood there stoically while Dr. Fujitora started really thinking that maybe Kagura should go back into therapy and also that he needs to get out of villainy. He's now realizing the full strain and pressure that playing as a hero while being a villain is causing his adopted son. He simply looked up at All Might who was expecting an answer from him, and he said to him:
"I'll handle it".
"You'll handle it ISN'T going to do Ken! I'm not a really good teacher, but your child is crying for help and suppressing a lot of negativity that most kids his age should not need to suppress! Your child is a prodigy Ken! You are a prodigy Kagura! But you are scaring us with your actions! You're going down a bad path son and sooner or later, we'll either have to terminate you from the hero program or worse!" pleaded All Might.
Kagura couldn't even get mad at the symbol of peace anymore as he understands now that he truly needs help… but he honestly thought that nobody could help him because he doesn't know if he wants to be a hero or a villain. And he figured no one can help him or influence his decision either because no matter which way you flip the coin… all sides have pros and cons. Faults and perks. Downfalls and risings. He was smart enough to see this, and confused enough to not see what's right and wrong. All Might then frowned and said seriously:
"I'm tired of seeing you making costly decisions that could effect your life! So, I'm going to make an ultimatum for you, young Kagura! After the sports festival, you will be given one week of internships under a pro hero! But you will be special! You will intern with TWO heroes! One I will arrane for you, the other will be your own! Either way, this hero that you choose will be notified of your second internship! They will either collaborate together to help you rectify your behavior or you put in more time into your internships! Then you will continue interning under that hero I chose for you and if you manage to show progress and developments, then you will stay in UA! If you don't, then you will have to find another high school to attend to and you'll spend time in a facility for at risk teens!"
Kagura frowned at this and thought that the high time was coming for him and his family. All Might then asked:
"Do you understand, young Kagura?" he asked sincerely.
"Yes", he said stoically.
"Good. Now then, go back to the matches. I think Izuku's match is now starting up soon".
Kagura did just that. He found out from arriving to the stands that Ochaco stormed out of the arena without a word and Mina was Kagura's opponent in the final four. He then went over to the right side of the arena to wait for his next match. He figured for this match he take it a bit easy on his hands and try another tactic. He then waited for Present Mic to announce the next match.
So, I apologize for the lack of updates as of lately. I have discovered the power of online streaming services, which I have been using up wonderfully by binging on shows. I hope you guys had a good holiday. I can't make a chapter for New Year's Day or eve because I don't have a whole lot of content. So, Happy New Year to all my all fans and I'll see you guys next week or next year if you want to be corny like that.
