When Magic, Mechas and Heroes can(not) mix on the Cavalry Battle.
As the story is full of cross-overs, why not allow Izuku to combine with Hatsumu Mei to create a giant Gundam robot using the Knights and Magic techno-magic?
Neito only stayed there as an operator without control functions, or much to copy the individualities and to remove the bandages.
Cavalry Battle...
Once the weirdness freak show given by the peculiar green haired Hero Course's student ends with their victory, Midnight proceeds to announce the second stage, where the first 42 athletes who won the first game are assigned to do a team-based sports game. The chosen game was a cavalry battle.
Izuku sighs, and displays some amount of uneasiness, much due to the unwanted public unleash of his vampiric nature, or his on powers, even it was a old dream to give him any chance to participate on the Sports Festival. First, and the most silly one, it was the absurd amount of points given to the victor, 10 million, while the remaining 41 students was given an arithmetic progression of points, beginning at 1000, and reducing each lower ranked student by 25. The last one, had a null classification. And the second oddity, that Izuku never cooperates too well, is the team-based nature of this game. It was expecting that the 42 students would form teams by 3 or 4 athletes. Normally, the average number of teams are around 12, and this year was no exception, as a symmetrical number of six 3-person and six 4-person teams was formed, after a long quarter of hour discussion, and selection.
Due to some excessive training sessions between the vampires Aizawa and Izuku, and some mad mood mixed, both students from 1-A class refuses to pair with Izuku. Playing alone was usually out of question, but luckily, some remaining students from other classes pair with Izuku to form the most oddly team, when all options are out. First, one curious and daredevilry arrogant boy called Neito Monoma, who was one of best students from his 1-B class, and also the most unfriendly, as himself speaks, "My only dream is to surpass every student from 1-A class", while Izuku speaks, "On my long philosophical dissertations, I even think that current age heroes are easily mistaken by some wrestlers who just want their moment of fame...". Neito throat almost coughs he heard the vampire's sentence, "Damn it..."
And the second one who decides to join the group, was a student from 1-H class, the gadget-maker Hatsume Mei, where already gains the reputation of one most bizarre Heroes Support Students on most recent years. After all, Izuku's team is also the Freak Team!
"A young vampire, a quirk hacker and a gadget genius!", said Izuku, who already knows their quirk effects forehand.
"So...", said Mei with some genuine curiosity, "It's you the freaking, cute, mysterious, ...", and she starts to ventilate, and spins while enumerate every possible attributes, "Cinnamon roll hair… vampire!...", and prepare every conceivable instrument from every hardware Mei could ever manage to handle, "But you are nowhere near from my precious children!", as treat their inventions as part of their family.
"God...", Izuku makes a strange face, with some weirdness facial expression, "If you ever manage to be a genuine heroine, it would be like a Gundam mecha!", where with the last sentence gives Mei to just pop off a weird idea, "Oh! Cinnamon roll vampire!...", while the cited person answers, "My name is Izuku Midoriya...", but Hatsume Mei brings all thirteen cases, filled with every imaginable weirdness stuff, and start to mount, in less than two minutes, a kind of giant mecha robot.
At first, it was a mixture of steel pipes, servomotors, and recycled garbage, barely resembling a robot at all. Once connect some wires to an electronic box, where any specifications or indications are only known by the gadget-maker girl. If she really knew about the specifications at all!
"I have a simple question...", Neito dares to ask, "I heard that you don't have a real quirk", as he touch Izuku's body to cast any doubts, "Well... And I could agree, since my Copy quirk don't give me anything!".
Instead to reply, Izuku sighs while hops to the top of the Mei's mecha, without taking too much attention to Mei as she tries to assume the mechanical control of a kind of giant sword, hold by the right hand, or anything resembling an arm at all.
Finally Izuku answers Neito's question, "Well… sorcery is a different kind of special powers, much older than the quirks, but extremely rare...".
Neito becomes a little worried, because magic or sorcery was a terrae incognita to him. Meanwhile, Mei instructed Izuku to handle the controls for the legs, while himself warns, "I never saw a Yuuei student so insane, but I will aid you with my magic", as Izuku remembers a novel, and an anime adaptation of the same canon, that was about mechas on a fantasy medieval setting, operated my sorcerers and alchemy.
"Ingens honesti militis mei ferri...", chants Izuku, while channels his magic vitality along the components of the rude mecha robot, transforming and transmute the pieces into a giant robot, once made from scrap, to something resembling a medieval steampunk robot, covered by magic shields and additional components from the Mei's own inventions.
"Surge ex illo certamine passim...", and finally stands up, "Sinit proelium incipitur!", while the sword made from a metal pole gains an energetic plasma blade, "Midoriya's Team: Magic Mecha Knight… Launch!"
Both Neito and Mei just grins and express a genuine astonishment from their faces, "What's is this ?", but Mei shifts into an amused curiosity, "You are using this magic to enhance my children ?!"
"Let's hope that this Gundam Knight at least works by the next 15 minutes!", said Izuku, as his mind focus shifts to control the strange technological and magical invention, "And also I don't need to bite too soon...", while said that, his fangs drops.
Again, Midnight stared when the contraption mecha robot forms due to Izuku's powers with Mei own aid, before shouts, "Cavalry battle… Start!", while she thinks, "What kind of quirk can transform scrap into robots ?!"
Meanwhile, the Katsuki's Team witness the mecha running around the play-field, as the blond himself drops his jaws, "WTF hell is Deku doing ?!".
Ilda and Kaminari, who just handles Katsuki, tries to approach and blast an electrical wave to the Izuku's mecha. Both Izuku's members are just sited on the top of the machine, and the bandages with the points are equally accessible to be stolen, as the other groups do.
Ilda uses his Engine quirk to propel his leg in a swing movement, in order to break the Mei's mecha right leg. Izuku then casts some manoeuvrability spell to order the right mechanical arm to swipe the sword and blocks the Iida's movement. Almost on the same time, Kaminari tried to blast using his Electrifying quirk to destroy the cables that powers the servomotors. The robot suffer some damage, just to Izuku counters with a cast of the Damned spell to blast Kaminari out of his sigh, just to be rescued by the Tsuyu.
Katsuki also breaks the formation just to propel in mid-air using his Explosion quirk, in order to land inside the Izuku place. The vampire managers to blast a Impellitteri to mid-air, blasting Katsuki to the ground, and tear apart the Katsuki's team formation simultaneously.
"Where is my bandage ?!", Izuku notices that the ten million bandage on his forehead was missing, and when scan the surroundings, he discovers that the Dark Shadow summoned by Tokoyami just stole it.
And the damaged mecha was just tear apart due to the combined damage from the Katsuki Team forehand.
"Mei...", Izuku asks, just to give a hopeful answer from Mei, "Yes sir!...", but fells a little annoyed, before he could manage to repair the broken mecha, "Now, he have only 200 points! And your robot was destroyed… Do you have spare pieces ?!", just to Mei points to an huge pile of scrap laid on the play-field boundaries.
"The problem is to get there without leave the battlefield!", said Neito.
"No problem!", Izuku stretch his right arm, and casts a new magic spell, "In-Chi...Ko… Gara!", and increases the accuracy and range of the vampiric native telekinesis, "Lord of Gravity… Guardian of Nature!...", in order to reach the scrap several meters away, "I pledge your Contract, and Seal my Hand to become your Dominion!", once he activated the spell, "GRAVIS!"
"I will bring this...", and finally Izuku could use his magic enhanced telekinesis to scatter all scrap metal, and bring back to him.
"I think a telekinesis quirk would by more easy to make the same thing !", spoke Mei, before Neito could reply.
Once bring the scrap, izuku cast a new spell, "Lapsae bellator...", and Mei opens the toolbox to connect all cables and pieces, "Redeem ignominia tua et redire in pugnam...", and creates a better mecha model, where Izuku adds a real shield that holds on left arm are now placed, "Midoriya's Team: Magic Mecha Heavy Cavalry Knight… Launch!..."
Once everything assembled, the refurbished mecha slides against the Tokoyami's team, while Izuku decides to increase the defences, by casting a Ritual Magic Cast, "Antiquorum patrum vampyras... ", where Izuku's bites to himself, and drain some blood away. Magically, due to incantation, a flow of blood covers the entire mecha, making a magical shield, "Antiquam virtutem optime ego voco ...", that even helps the mecha to levitate a little, "Ego antiquum sanguinem eiusdem est transmutare...". And finally creates an entangled web of magic bloodied wires, "Ad summum creare defensionem adversus inimicos meos...", while declare, "Midoriya's Team: Knight Blood Shield!"
The last magic spell that Izuku just cast, it increases the magic and physical defence, while also helps to block the furious attacks from the others teams. But it don't avoid the strikes from Todoroki, who paired with Tokoyami, and also from Katsuki, that could freeze or burn much part of the magic shield.
Neito grabs several bandages using his Copy quirk, while hops in and out from the Mei's mecha, while Izuku slams or attacks the other teams. Once the chaos cools a little, Neito dares to ask, "Just for curiosity… What's your more powerful technique ?".
Izuku thinks a little before answers, "I have a magic gravitational collapse, a magic nuclear explosion and a magic plasma cannon spells, where I named by the same order, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Halloween...", where Mei and Neito frightens with blank sweeten faces, "What ?!", before Neito dare to ask, "And why you just do not use one for them to finishes this game ?"
Izuku sighs, with some angry tone, and gives to them a deadly glare, "Those spells are very dangerous, it requires a delicate summon and casting, and burns my own blood as a pay off, making only possible to cast a single one of them each month, at best!", making Neito a little bewildered, "Specially the Black Sabbath, that simply will wipe-out the entire Coliseum and kill up to a million people, that was just gathered here!", as the young vampire ends almost yelling.
The whole conversation breaks momentarily the Izuku's concentration enough to a group with a student capable to cast green vines, attack the robot body, and breaks much of the vampire spells.
"Damn it! that's the worst thing I could do !...", Izuku yells in frustration, while notice that the entire game was barely half-way, and the second robot made with Mei's help was about to break apart. Neito helps to counter-attack, while Izuku tries to fix the shield spell. It was partially successful, and brings another bandage, to sum 8750 points. The real problem here is the magic energy form Izuku was failing, due to overuse of Rituals that consume his own blood.
The fight for the ten million point bandage was making the whole game a fight between Todoroki and Katsuki, once they stole from Tokoyami. The Izuku team menages to go to the fifth position, just in the borderline between winning or losing the entire tournament.
The relationship between the magic caster Izuku and the gadget-maker Mei was gaining several fruits, even this scrap mecha was beyond any usefulness standards, the last emergency fixes on the second model makes possible to function when the entire battle already lasts 12 minutes.
Once Izuku could relax a little, just to attack the another team, the Todoroki team decides to freeze the ground, while Katsuki team also strikes against Izuku, causing enough damage to break the mecha apart. For Izuku, it's the second time that his own colleges makes the same attack.
"All right...", Izuku mind decides to force himself to be less generous, and becomes more curbstomped, "I will teach them a real lesson...", with some bloodlust on his eyes and their fangs dropped.
Suddenly the Izuku's hair electrifies, and his dark aura explodes, while take care to use his native telekinesis powers to rebuild the Mei's mecha for a while. Mei also notices the bad mood from his partner, and tries to warn, "Please, don't make something stupid!"
Izuku raises his right arm and casts a simple spell, that could be the mother of all Magic Elemental Arrows, if it was not present on Dark Schneider's Grimoire, "Spirits of Lightning and Darkness!", and Neito panics when saw the giant globe of dark energy forming about a meter ahead the vampire, "Unleash your wrath against the enemies, by a firestorm of lightning!", and a swarm of huge arrows fires against all adversaries, blasting the majority in the process, "IRON LIGHTNING ANTHEM!"
The girl with green vines quirk screams when the Anthem magic dark lightning arrows makes their vines-like hair self-combust and cast fire. Other students don't had much better luck.
Present Mic overreacts the last Izuku's magic spell, "Oh my goodness!", while Aizawa facepalms to himself, "Can you believe this ?", and yells, "The insane green haired student's quirk not only makes lightning strikes capable to blow students with quirks that should be immune, but also creates robots from scrap… with the help from Hatsume Mei ?!"
But some teams reacts after the powerful spell, and since the battle reaches the last minute, the fight against the Freak Team would not end too soon. Meanwhile, Izuku menage to create a third mecha version, but the whole design logic drains to the water, as appears more to a chaotic amount of scrap glued by Izuku's magic. But the relentless attacks from every group continues, and with less than 20 seconds, while Izuku tries to hold his 15000 points, and the fourth place, the third mecha starts to crumble.
As the time was reaching the end, Izuku still manages to cast another spell, while orders Neito to strike Katsuki, who had currently the ten million bandage, "Beware the false prophets of Doomsday!", while a giant vortex forms from Izuku's left hand, "Honor the ancient pact, while ignore the altar of spirit's blood, that shall not falter!", and a powerful lightning storm unleashes, "Lightning, obey my will and strike!", and stuns the most powerful opponents, such the Katsuki one, and Todoroki too, while Neito grabs the bandages, "TESLA!"
And at the last second, the Izuku Team manage to reach the first place, and won the insane and crazy Cavalry Battle of this year.
Midnight waits, and stands with a shocked poker face, against Izuku's team. Quickly, the computer announce the winners, "Team… team Midoriya wins the second stage! All three members was qualified! And the four-member Team Katsuki, Team Todoroki, and Team Shinsou also gives all members qualified!". Finally the computer selects a last member, while taking account their achievements, and selects a 1-A class member, Sero Hanta.
List of the Final Battles!
Once the best 16 students are chosen, the third game begins, which are always a single versus single tournament. At the first round, 8 battles are assigned, where the first one was Izuku against Shinsou. The other ones was, Katsuki against Uraraka, Mei versus Iida, Denki against Fumikage, Eijirou versus Tetsutetsu, Mina against Yuga, Naito versus Momo and Shouto against Hanta.
Aizawa Scolding...
But first, a mandatory two hours full rest follows once Present Mic announce the next match, while also begins the lunch break. For Izuku, it's time for their blood meals, and some potential reprimands from Aizawa-sensei.
"What kind of battle was that ?!", speaks Aizawa, almost enraged, "I notice that the girl from the Support Course was too weird, due to his own inventions, but why you make a freak show, mixing a team battle with some third-rate bad robot combat ?!", and grips the Izuku's collar, "I notice some teenage rebellion on your behavior, but I expecting that your could give a normal display on powers, and instead, you just want to display to the entire world, how powerful you are!"
Izuku clenches his firsts, and grits his teeth, while displays an enraged eye-look, "I won't make such hypocritical statement like, But the Yuuei motto is not Go Beyond, Plus Ultra; instead...", and tries to counter the teacher's grip, "I was just following my own instinct, and take some care to not hurt my mates, or any students!"
"You simply expose yourself, what you really are, and gives an hint that you just want to curbstomp everything on your path!", Aizawa yells, "You are just a brat, who still cannot manage all of your powers in a more discrete way!"
Izuku turns around, and walks away with heavy footing, while drops some tears on his eyes, "You don't know anything…", and slams the door too hardly, that cracks and bends the steel frame, "Stupid Aizawa-sensei...", and ignores the presence of Katsuki, who just walk on the hallways.
Toshinori, the true form of All Might, also notices the whole situation, and walks to catch Izuku, "This Aizawa...", and tries to call the young vampire, "Midoriya-kun...", and transform to the muscular form, just before the green-hair young vampire turn his head, "Can I speak to you for a moment ?!"
Izuku thinks a while before answers, "If you try to criticize too awful, then I will leaving...", and All Might tries to gain his attention, without hurt the vampire feelings, "I want to warn you about some things, even I know that you are a lone vampire without much trust with humans, but please listen my remarks..."
"Tch!", Izuku displays a mad mood face, "Even my teacher is a vampire, has too tough!"
"Young Midoriya… I was totally aware that vampires like you was severally discriminated, and placed on the outskirts of human society, and you have very bad behavior instincts due to your nature…"
" It is just trivial crap ?!", Izuku yells by own frustration, "My magic powers was so frighting, that now need special lectures just to not use it, when my instincts warns that could be fatal ?!"
All Might notices the turmoil that Izuku had, and tries to calm him, "Young Midoriya… The true meaning of an Hero is to give hope, and peace… Instead, you are afraid of everyone, that defaults quickly to overuse your powers, even it was not required at all..."
Izuku snaps, turns around and walks away, while gives some random kicks, "Stupid All Might!..."
Katsuki was just witness the whole scene, while mumbles to himself, "All Might was right… This idiot Deku are misusing his own powers…", but suffers a pang of guilt on his chest, "But how to melt his ice cage that has placed inside ?", and adds, "It was like me, when I was much younger, a lone strong person, even Deku was not human at all, without any friends..."
Katsuki really understands that Izuku needs to make bounds with other classmates, but it won't be a trivial task.
Midoriya versus Shinsou battle!
Once the long two hours break ends, the third game event begins, where the main Duel Arena was placed on the middle of the Coliseum, courtesy of the Pro Hero Cementoss. The first duel are not faded to be the rarest oddly adversaries, but could also the fastest ones on Yuuei records. Even so, Shinsou would try to use his brainwashing quirk to won their duel. Except Izuku, and Shinsou, all classmates from every classes seats on balcony, before they go to the field.
Like every competition, all athletes uses the Physical Education uniforms, and Izuku even agree with such restriction. Using his own armored costume, could give a red flag, and an huge commotion. The whole week before the Sports Festival was much emotionally damaging to Izuku, due to the Aizawa's training routines, and the lower tolerance between Izuku's vampire nature and the human classmates.
Once the famous day arrives, for much 1-A class own feelings, they decided that was too far away, and just could severe the already weak bounds between the vampire Izuku and other classmates.
After all, he could won the two first matches without much brutal powers display, even the second one was more than an improbable connection of two freaks, plus an opportunist!
In secret, they decide that the entire 1-A class should commemorate together, with Izuku, since he should not feel guilty to gain a Level Threat Haoryuu, or Demon King Dragon, as explained by a preparatory lecture before the Festival was given by All Might himself.
On Previous week before Sport's Festival, A Lecture about Threat Levels...
All Might connects his laptop computer, to the classroom projector, and displays a file from a recent villainy and heroic classification, that would be mandatory on the next months.
"The Hero Association has decided to split the Heroes, Villains, Terrorists, and even the Nature himself, to a new Threat Scale..."
"WOW!", much of the 1-A class exclaimed.
"In reality, it is the new Global Aptitude Scale disguised by some villainy score scale..."
" All right, from the bottom to the top, the classes are… Cub, Wolf, Tiger, Demon, Dragon, Demon King Dragon and God!"
"OMG!", Todoroki frowns to the highest threat level.
"Quirkless people are normally Cub Level Threats, as their powers are not greater that this."
"How weak they are...", Katsuki plays a little, even to tease Izuku a little.
" The Wolf Level are usually strong people, or threats that affect a restricted group of peoples. Much lower grade Heroes are placed here, as potential threats!"
"Like us, no ?", Mineta dare to ask.
"No… The majority of many Heroes, including yours on this room, are Tiger grade Heroes or Threats..."
"But not compare the majority to us!", and Katsuki still upholds his sense of superiority complex.
"Some students like Bakugou, Shoto or Momo are Demon Class, making possible to hold a city-level crisis."
"Demon ?!", Todoroki was a little unpleasant.
"For me, All Might, I was placed on the boundary of Demon and Dragon-class Hero..."
As expected for someone that was the Top Number One Hero.
"And finally, the Midoriya threat level, measured after several analysis, was placed on the Demon Dragon King, or Haoryuu Threat Level, with 3% chances to be promoted to the boundary of the God Threat Level ", making Izuku very frighting, "Since it is capable to destroy entire cities, even it had long cool-downs, but it is the expected."
"Haoryuu Threat Level… Right...", Izuku makes a depressed remark.
"The Hero Association thinks that is almost physically impossible someone being a God Threat Level by all levels, as it could simply destroy the entire Mankind by himself."
The class was demised after those announcement, but Izuku walks away quickly to home, as their classification becomes some kind of insult to him.
And the Battle ends as fast it begins...
Returning to the Duel Match, Midnight announce the two challengers, "From the Hero Class 1-A, the second vampire on Yuuei recorded history that manage to access the Heroics Department, Izuku Midoriya!", and a mixed public reaction of fear, surprise and applauses makes Izuku very unpleasant. The computer also display the following information, available only to the two challengers,"Quirk: Vryko-Warlock", and also, "Threat Level: Haoryuu", making Shinsou a little surprised.
And Midnight announce the Izuku's adversarie, "And the last survivor from the General Studies, from class 1-C, Shinsou Hitoshi!", while privatively the computer displays, "Quirk: Brainwashing; Threat Level: Tiger."
And finally, after the two boys face each other, Midnight shouts, "First Duel… Fight!"
Shinsou waits several seconds, while stare the green-haired vampire who simply relaxes, "Well… being a vampire is too much weird, don't you agree?"
Izuku answers, "Right...", but a psychic wave blasts his body, once he displays the Yrden Sign, "Sorry… But my Magic Trap Sign Yrden prevents you to brainwash me...", and grins.
"What ?!", Shinsou frails and panics, while his classmates also stares with some great confusion within their faces.
"I will show to you...", and Izuku grits his teeth's, "A real brainwashing technique… Hypnotic Wave Sign Axii!", that freezes the Shinsou body, while shatters his mind, and becomes vulnerable to the caster commands.
Midnight notices the sudden asphyxiation of Shinsou, "One a minute… Shinsou is not breathing!..."
Finally Izuku decide to end the match, "I summon the Fiery Power Blast of the Fallen Heroes...", and send an energetic blast that propel Shinsou against the concrete wall, "DAMNED!"
Izuku itself don't move a single step from the initial position, and manage to send a boy to the other side, "And… the winner is Midoriya!", said Midnight, very confused to Izuku's techniques.
A little above, on the 1-A balcony, Katsuki and Todoroki shouts, "Damn it… Izuku should have a very bad day… He was a little cruel against that General Education athlete!"
"Honestly...", said Uraraka, "Why Izuku was so eager to finish off so quickly ?!"
From the top, Aizawa and Present Mic decided to not comment further, as the older vampire mumbles, "Izuku could extend the fight, and train his muscular strength, since the adversary is not too strong.", and sighs, "Instead, he just smash quickly...", while tries to hide the fact that also have some remorse, "Probably, I should ask my class to bring Izuku to the reason… He's just hurting everyone and yourself with such bad behavior..."
And since the first match ends in less than 30 seconds, a five minutes pause was giving before resume the Duel Tournament.
To be Continued...
