UA stadium central arena (Izumi POV)
"Our teams are lined up and ready to go and the stadium is going wild! Anything to add my co-host." Present Mic says getting more cheers from the crowds.
"No lets start already." Came the less than enthusiastic responses of said co-host Eraser Head.
All the teams were looking at each other sizing up the competition. While some of the teams looked odd like Tsu and Mineta riding Shoji I can already tell they will be trouble. Momo's team looked good and Kacchan plus Mina looked ready.
"3... 2... 1... and begin!" Midnight shouts starting the Cavalry Battle.
Immediately all of the other teams turned to our us with hunger in there eyes, ten million was incredibly appetizing. So i did the only play that would get us the breathing room we need.
"Tokoyami NOW!" I shout to the bird boy on my shoulders.
He takes the one million point headband off and chucks it as hard as possible at a random team, who just so happens to be Todoroki's team. The ice boy's eyes widened as he fumbled to catch the headband, once he had a firm grip he realized what we did.
The rest of the teams pause looking from my team to Todoroki's team, then most proceeded to rush him like packs of wild dogs.
"Oh what a surprise move to ditch the biggest prize, but is it legal?" Mic says.
"I don't see any rule against it!" Midnight says crackling her whip.
"That was something..." Ochaco says.
"Well it worked, now lets get some points." I say seeing teams that refrained from the mosh pit. which was cut short by a massive wave of electricity from said team.
The first team we went after was a duo of a guy with bug mandibles riding a horse girl. Rushing them with Dark Shadow darting out we got both headbands with little trouble.
Retreating back the next team we targeted was an all girl team with four members from Class B. Not knowing what quirks they had I implement plan two.
"Tokoyami get ready for a fly by, Raka when I say go get rid of our gravity, Mei same signal to start the jet pack." I say getting nods from my team.
"This is going to be good!" Mei says practically vibrating.
"Three, Two, One, Go!" I shout.
I felt gravity lose its hold on us at the rockets on my back raged to life. Flying in a somewhat straight line we catch our target by surprise. Going right over there heads Dark Shadow reaches down and takes there headband. They just stare mouths gaping as we land further past them.
"Good job Tokoyami and Dark Shadow." I say as he puts the headband around his neck.
"I thank thee." He say with the bird equivalent of a blush.
Looking at the center some teams have given up and began to look for other points. Todoroki's team was walling themselves in a dome of ice while Kacchan was trying to blast his way through as Mina sprayed acid on the ice. while this was happening Sero and Kirishima were defending against other teams trying to sneak up on them.
In our momentary distraction Dark Shadow sprang to our side covering us from a hail of purple balls. Snaking its way around Dark Shadow was a familiar tongue reaching for our headbands. Grabbing the long tongue I gave a light yank then let it fall and retract like a measuring tape.
"Tsu keep your tongue to yourself!" I yell after letting go of the appendage.
"Cant blame a girl for trying." She says back
"Five minutes left! Get moving if your low on points!" Midnight announced.
"Alright we have two hundred and ninety five points so we need to move fast." I say already spotting out next prey.
Moving through more teams we manage to get grab more headbands racking up lots of points and the only close call was when Jiro almost got a headband with her Earphone Jack.
"One minute thirty seconds left!"
"Izumi go big or go home!" Ochaco says pointing at the now massive brawl between Kacchan and Todoroki's teams.
"Anyone against this act of lunacy?" I ask the rest of my team.
"No objections to this course of action." Tokoyami says with Dark Shadow nodding his head.
"It'll be great advertisement for my baby's." Mei says with a smile.
Doing something stupid we charge into the fray among the explosions and columns of ice. Kacchan's team had made it through and seemed to be charging Todoroki's team. So focused on each other they didn't see our team running right into the mix.
"Grab what you can!" I yell both teams looking at us in surprise as we are about to collide getting a small burst of flame from Todoroki.
"And that's time for our second event. Give a big hand to the Students." Present Mic announced causing us to stop and Kacchan to fall flat on his face.
"Midoriya I'm sorry I failed to get the one million headband, but I have managed to retrieve Todoroki's original headband." Tokoyami says getting down from my shoulder with Dark Shadow showing the six hundred and fifteen point headband.
"Don't apologize you did amazingly." I say patting him on the back with a smile.
"Ya we were awesome!" Ochaco says jumping up and down.
I would have also included Mei in the celebration but she was already tinkering with the equipment while muttering to herself.
"Now let's get rolling, in first place we have team Todoroki." Present Mic says getting a massive cheer from the crowd.
Said team was celebrating but Todoroki was just looking at his left hand in confusion.
"In second we have team Tokoyami!" He continued.
"WOOO THAT'S MY DAUGHTERS TEAM WOOO!" I hear Mom shouting while waving her banner.
"Coming in third we have team WHAT! Team Shinso stealing third place!" Present Mic says surprising everyone with the General education participant.
Looking over I see the purple hair guy from our confrontation in the hallway a little bit ago.
"And bringing up the rear is team Bakugo in a close fourth place." He announced.
looking at Kacchan I see a couple of extra headbands around his neck. That did show he was smart enough to get some extra points instead of only going after the ten million one.
But as his team looked relived at barely placing top four he was practically frothing at the mouth in anger.
"Now we will be taking a small lunch break to get the field ready for the third event so don't go anywhere!" Present Mic says proudly going to commercial on the live broadcast.
"Hay I'm heading to the stalls out in front of the stadium to see what they got." I say walking to the entrance waving to my friends.
Making sure it was ok with Midnight I make my way to the front of the stadium where there were rows of stalls selling fresh festival food. Going up to a takoyaki stand I order a large helping before remembering that I don't have my wallet, as I'm about to say it something interrupts me.
"Oh allow me to cover you." A very familiar voice says as a purple clad hand slides money over to the stall owner.
Taking my order I turn around to see Yu smiling at me but sinister glint in her eyes.
"Ah funny running into you here, although you did say you'd be here." I say trying to act casual while popping a takoyaki in my mouth.
"Ya Izumi funny running into to you as well. How about we talk a little by ourselves." She says slinging an arm around my shoulder and leading me off.
UA stadium Hero area 5 minutes later (Yu Takeyama POV)
Dragging Izumi to the temporary hero area outside the stadium was a split second decision. Seeing her at the stall I knew waiting wasn't an option, I needed answers. Maybe it was overreacting a bit but this girl knew some real personal secrets that I spilled.
"So when were you planning on telling me you were a middle school student when we met?" I ask hardening my stare.
"Honestly I tried to tell you multiple times, but we got interrupted a lot." She says popping another takoyaki.
"Oh so that's what that was... I thought you were trying to come out of the closet." I say only to realize that was out loud.
Izumi didn't respond, just gave me a flat look finishing her food.
"Not that there's anything wrong with that, and as your friend I will support you." I say waving my hands in front of me.
"Glad to hear we are still friends." She says smirking.
"She's right you know." A little voice says in my head.
Despite the age difference Izumi was a much more mature than me, as evident by all the fights she breaks up with Uwabami and I. At the end of the day Izumi was my first real friend since I became a big time hero.
The thought of us never talking again twisted my gut.
A pair of arms reach over my shoulder and a warm body hugged me. Apparently my face was doing something Izumi didn't agree with so she decided to hug me.
"Listen Yu... I'm sorry if it seemed like I was keeping this a secret but your my best friend. I would hate to lose you to a misunderstanding." She says tightening her hug a little.
Hugging her back we stood there for a good couple of minutes and when we pulled back, we both had tears trailing down our faces. After getting ourselves together and talked a little more to reassure each other our time ran out with the five minute warning rang for the next round.
I only had one thing to say.
"Izumi win this whole damn thing." I say flashing her a thumbs up.
"You got it!" She yells running back to the stadium.
Stadium central area 1 hour later (Izumi POV)
Walking back to the central stadium with everyone else we stand ready to hear about the next event. Moving over to Ochaco and Momo I noticed there particular dress, looking around I also saw all the girls in my class wearing the same thing.
"Uh Momo what with the cheerleader outfits?" I ask scratching my head.
"We were tricked my Mineta and Kaminari to wear these humiliating outfits." Momo says hiding her face behind both hands.
"So the self admitted pervert hands you a skimpy outfit and you didn't question it at all?" I ask in disbelief, Momo was usually much sharper than this.
"He said Mr Aizawa told us to do it..." She says realizing how suspicious that sounded.
"Momo my friend... We will be discussing your naivety at a later date." I say dropping the subject.
"Now let's get ready for our final event, the one on one tournament fight!" Present Mic says focusing all of our attention.
"Now everyone come forward to draw lots to see who your up against. But before that we will be holding the recreational games before we start. The sixteen finalists have the option to sit out these games if you want to prepare for the finals. Now lets start with the fist place team." Midnight says holding up a box labeled lots and walking to Todoroki to start.
"Uh excuse me... but I'm withdrawing." Ojiro my class mate announced getting a surprised gasp from most people.
"Are you sure? As you're class president I will advise against this." I say class mate.
"It just wouldn't be right, I barely remember anything from the Cavalry Battle just the very end. I think it was one of my team mates quirk." Ojiro says looking down cast.
Spotting the purple haired guy avert his gaze was a good indication that it was him.
"I know this is a great opportunity but my conscience won't let me." He says showing his resolve.
"If that's how you feel then I can't stop you, but I admire you sense of honor." I say getting a smile in return.
The two others students who were his team mates also stepped forward to drop out, in the end it was still up to Midnight if she let them. The Rated-R hero seemed to think it over before delivering her verdict.
"This sort of talk is incredibly naïve my boys, that turns me on! Shoda and Ojiro you're out!" Our high-school teacher yells for the world to hear.
After finding two replacement students from Class 1-B, Ibara Shiozaki and Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu we drew lots showing who we would fight. I was places as the first match against Shinso so I need to prepare.
"That is you right? Izumi Midoriya." A voice says from next to me.
Keeping my self from jumping at the sudden appearance of my first opponent. I run through a rapid check list of every controller quirk I've seen and read about how they activate.
Skin contact.
Eye contact.
Verbal contact.
Area of effect.
So I did the safe thing and just walked away and past Ojiro glaring at Shinso. Deciding to sit out the games I walk to the locker room to come up with a plan. Ojiro follows close behind and once the door is closed he spills what he know.
"The guy your up against has a controller quirk that activates when you talk to him." He says.
"Good thing I'm the strong silent type." I say getting him to chuckle.
"Listen it was really... Uncomfortable waking at the end of an event with no idea how I got there." He says looking really shaken.
"Listen I will be careful and as long as I don't say anything he wont get me. Then this fight is between a guy that has an average build versus me a 195 centimeters woman who can bench press twenty of him." I say confidence shooting off me.
"That's good to know and best of luck." He says walking out of the locker room.
Sitting down to relax I was interrupted by the door opening again with All Might stepping in. He wore a suit and his trademark smile standing at the threshold of the door.
"Young Midoriya I want to wish you luck in the finals! I hope you come out on top!" He says flashing a thumbs up.
"Oh uh thank you All Might sir." I say a little a taken aback that the number one hero was rooting for me.
"Please just All Might and you have a great heroic spirit. So good luck again." He says running out.
"Well that happened..." I say trying to relax again.
UA stadium central arena 1 hour later (Izumi POV)
Walking through the tunnel into a the stadium you could feel the roar of the crowd practically vibrating the ground. Shinso was already here waiting for me in the square arena made by Cementoss Modern Literature teacher. When I was visible the already loud crowd was deafening, although one voice cut right through.
"Izumi! Fight! Fight! Fight!" Mom yelled now waving sparklers in both hands.
"Ya Izumi what she said!" Mitsuki also yells giving in to her friends antics.
"Now from the General Education course we have coming in at 177 centimeters and weigh-in at 63 Kilos, our master of the mind SHINSO HITOSHI!" Present Mic announced getting another loud roar.
"And from our Hero course coming in at 195 centimeters weigh-in at 105 Kilos of muscle, the ash skinned specter Midoriya Izumi!" He continued hyping me up as I stand waiting.
We both looked at each other from opposite sides of the arena, him with a look of tired disdain and me with my normal deadpan face.
"Now lets begin!" He shouts starting the match.
"Must be nice having a great quirk for that biased entrance exam, I wasn't so lucky when my is useless against robots. But hey be proud that you're lucky enough to be born special instead of me who has to work for what I want." Shinso says trying to get a response.
All I did was start to walk towards him.
"Oh so your classmate told you about my quirk, Just another advantage you have over us lesser people." He says attacking my pride.
But after years of Kacchan's verbal bullying this was nothing, so I just got closer. He was starting to panic as I got a few steps away and finally does something other than talk.
He runs and throws a punch right into my stomach.
It was sad.
Apparently his noodle arms were just that, noodly. Honestly the punch did little to nothing in terms of stopping me as this guy has probably never lifted a weight in his life.
Grabbing him by the front of his sports festival uniform and picked him up like I did in the hallway a week ago. This time however I heaved him up high and threw Shinso with a great deal of force sending flying out of the ring.
"Uh winner Is Midoriya Izumi by ring out..." Midnight says.
The crowd didn't really what to do with an anticlimactic fight like that as an opener for the finals.
Shinso himself was laying on the ground just looking at the sky as depression wafted of him. Honestly he may be a dick but with a quirk like Brainwashing the guy probably got shunned since age four. making my way down to him I offer my hand to help him up.
"Let's be honest, if I didn't know how your quirk activated this would have gone differently. I personally think you will be an amazing hero if given the chance." I say still holding out my hand.
"Too bad I'll never get that chance..." He says taking my hand and standing up.
"With how determined you are I doubt it will be long before your in class with me. Word of advice though, hit a gym because you're arms are noodles." I say patting his back.
He seemed to lighten up after that even crackling a smile until my last comment hit him , then went back to his resting bitch face.
UA stadium 1 hour later (Izumi POV)
Most of the matches after mine were interesting with Todoroki covering Sero and half the damn stadium with ice.
Kaminari getting taken out by the most virtues bush from class 1B Ibara.
Ida being turned into a living advertisement By Mei.
Mina uppercutting sparkle boy.
Tokoyami with a surprise victory on Momo.
A very redundant fight between Kirishima and Tetsutetsu ending in a draw.
Then a great fight between Kacchan and Ochaco were the crowd got unruly until Eraser Head scolded them.
Lastly an Honestly boring tiebreaker between both guys with hardening quirks ending in Kirishima winning to move on.
Now it was my turn again and I was fighting someone with arguably one of the strongest quirks in Japan.
Todoroki Shoto
The main problem is I didn't have any earthly idea what to do about a guy who can make a fucking glacier on command.
"I could try shooting it..." I think sarcastically.
While my knowledge of exotic Shotgun shells was large I didn't have much practice actually using them, beanbags and buckshot wouldn't cut it. There was also the concern of using lethal shells and accidentally seriously hurting my classmate or God forbid something worse.
"The next round will begin in five minutes, would Midoriya Izumi and Todoroki Shoto make there way to the arena." I hear Midnight announce.
Walking out of the locker room into the open stadium I keep trying to come up with a plan. Todoroki was also entering with his normal cold look but he threw a glance to the top of the stands. It wasn't hard to see a flaming spot at was Endeavor who Mom had won many lawsuits against. After Todoroki looked at his father his attitude shifted from cold aloofness to anger for just a second.
"Well if Mom's words are accurate Endeavor is a flaming bag of shit, guess his son also thinks that." I think going up the steps into the arean opposite Todoroki.
"Are both competitors ready?!" Midnight asks.
We both just nod.
"Then start!" She yells jumping down from her pedestal to avoid getting covered in ice like last time.
I was already teleporting when a massive wave of ice hit my previous spot. Landing on his left I pulled out a Shotgun and fired a beanbag right into Todoroki's left arm. unfortunately this arm was covered in a sheet of ice mitigating some of the damage.
"Oh Midoriya pulling out a gun! Are guns even allowed?" Present Mic says to his co-host.
"If it was made with her quirk then it's allowed." Eraser Head replied in a sleepy tone.
Todoroki rounded on my location but before he could throw more ice at me I pulled out a second Shotgun and kept firing. Under the onslaught of high velocity hits he summoned a wall of ice to protect himself.
Just what I was hoping for.
Throwing away one of my shotguns down I summoned a new one with a little more kick. Aiming for the wall of ice I hope this doesn't end badly.
Boom!
The explosive shell goes off with a bright flash shattering the ice surrounding Todoroki. I see his eyes widened probably feeling the concussive force behind the explosion. The surprise didn't last as he hardened his face and began to attack again.
The arena was becoming much harder to navigate with ice filling the small space. I need to get close to either push him out of the ring or go for a knock out.
Dissipating to avoid more ice I mull over my options.
The only real advantage I have is he was only using half his quirk. If I dissipate and get close he will just freeze me as soon as I turn solid. But he was starting to show signs of slowing down with his breath coming out accompanied by steam. While I could just wait him out, he wasn't an idiot that would keep flinging attacks.
Reforming he sees me aim and fire but another wall of ice comes up, this one much thicker than before.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Emptying the last three explosive shells into the wall making enough cracks to open it up. Before he could reinforce it or attack I dissipate and fly through the openings in the ice. Fatigue made his response a split second to slow as I reform right in front of him. A small flicker of flame came out with some ice but it was to late.
"THIS IS SPARTA!" I yell for some unknown reason kicking him right in the chest.
His body flies right out of the arena and rolls a few times coming to a stop. The crowd was silent until a voice cut right through it.
"YEA THAT'S MY GIRL!" I hear Mom scream in excitement.
The crowd started to cheer as two UA drones come out with a stretcher to carry an apparently unconscious Todoroki to the infirmary.
"Our winner Midoriya Izumi!" Midnight announced.
letting out a breath of relief I walk back to the locker room to rest for my next match.
Undisclosed location same time (All For One POV)
"Yes! Take that little shit down!" I say proud of my daughters performance.
"Master?" Dr Garaki's voice says close by.
"What is it doctor?" I say in a low menacing voice at this fool interrupting my viewing.
"I wanted to inform you that Tomura's new arm is ready to be attached." The living prune of a man says nervous at my anger.
"Good. Call him in to have the procedure." I say already turning my attention away.
"There is one more thing Master." He says shuffling in place.
"Spit it out." I replied.
"There was hit on the quirk database from an unregistered quirk that belongs to a criminal who was just arrested. Quirk is named Chrysalis Dome, it gives him the ability to form a cocoon over others and heal them. He was running a Villain hospital until the police raid captured him." He says looking over a clipboard.
"Doctor we have tried many healing quirks already." I sigh at the idea of chasing another dead end.
"Master this one is different! This idiot's quirk can regrow missing tissue by hyper accelerating cell division, He could even regrow organs! The only major side effect is that it speeds up the aging process the more it's used on someone, that's hardly an issue for you master!" He says in a fervor waving his arms about.
"Fine have Kurogiri retrieve him... What would happen if we used this quirk to regrow Tomura's arm?" I ask genuinely curious.
"To regrow an arm from the elbow down hmm... According to my calculations it would add about fifty years to his age. For those who's quirk are activated by touch require more energy than someone who doesn't." The Doctor says rubbing his mustache.
"Alright now leave, I have things to observe." I say waving my hand in dismissals.
Focusing my attention back to the sports festival it seemed they are still cleaning up the ice. Izumi was so powerful and had such a magnificent quirk and that brought back memories. When she was a little girl we would sit down and watch the news to pick apart the quirks of heroes and villains alike.
"She definitely gets her quirk analysis skills from me, Inko would get so annoyed when I babbled about quirks." I think with a large dose of nostalgia.
While I blame All Might for my current state some of it still fell to me. After meeting Inko and fell in love my criminal activity lessened but when Izumi was born I knew it needed to stop. The plan was simple, let All Might dismantle my empire and fake my death. Unfortunately I got greedy when my victory seemed assured and my brothers quirk was so close That ended with half my face blown off and losing over a decade with my family.
"I owe a lot of birthday presents to Inko and Izumi..." I think with a chuckle.
Melancholy was the most accurate word for this felling.
"But let's forget all that for now..." I think as the next match started.
UA stadium stands same time (Izumi POV)
"Hay Izu who do you think is going to win?" Tsu asks as Ida and vine girl sqare up.
"Ida is probably going to bum rush her out of the ring." I say knowing that was his best shot.
Sure enough that's exactly what happened, almost as fast as you could blink.
"Izu how good are you with quirk analysis?" Raka asks as we clap for Ida.
"Pretty average." I say.
"If that's average then you just called us all dumbasses." Toru says with a what I assume was a smirk.
"Ok, I'm better than most. I started really young watching hero news with my..." I start but trail off when that large sore subject pops up.
"Your Mom?" Tsu says looking over to said women who was currently setting up what looked to be fireworks.
Why nobody was stopping her I'll never know.
"No with my Dad..." I say kind spacing out.
"Is he?" Raka asks not finishing the sentence.
"As far as Mom and I know he's still alive, Just one day he disappeared without a trace. We reported it but to this day it's an open case." I say wondering why I was spilling my guts.
"Oh sorry..." Raka says awkwardly.
"No it's fine, let's just watch." I say gesturing to the central arena.
Mina and Tokoyami are up but I knew my pink friend would most likely lose. Dark Shadow rushes Mina a lot like Ida immediately pushing her out. While Mina looked disappointed her usual expression quickly took its place.
"Hey Izu who's winning next?" Tsu asks tilting her head.
Kacchan and Kirishima walked into to ring and while it seemed like a fair fight on paper, it was far from that.
"Bakugo will take the win." I stated simply.
"Are you sure? Kirishima is pretty tough." Raka says.
"While both are close range fighters Bakugo can do a ton more damage before Kirishima can even throw a punch." I say watching Midnight start the match.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Kirishima didn't even get to move before a hail of explorations slammed into him knocking him down ironically like a rock.
"Well that was brutal." Mina says walking back into out section.
"And with that I'm up." I say making my way to the arena.
"Good luck!" All of my friends yelled.
Going down the hallway and descending the stairs I stop when I hear shouting. Looking around a corner into an adjacent hallway I see the back of the Number 2 Hero Endeavor practically screaming his head off at someone in front of him.
"ALL YOU DID WAS SHOW EVERYONE HOW WEAK YOU ARE AND DRAG MY NAME THROUGH THE MUD!" He yells with his flames almost touching the ceiling.
"Your flames wouldn't have made a difference anyway." I hear Todoroki's flat voice reply.
"INSOLENT BRAT!" He shouts raising his fist.
Before he can follow through with the act of child abuse I quickly walk over and tap him on his shoulder. He spins around looking ready to attack but stops at the last second.
"Is there a problem here?" I say standing eye to eye with him.
"Nothing that concerns you." He says pushing past me and leaving.
The younger Todoroki was just standing now sporting a scowl but before I could ask anything he also storms off.
"Well that explains a lot..." I mutter to myself not sure what to do.
UA Stadium central arena five minutes later (Ida POV)
While it was sad that big brother could not watch me participate I'm still going to make him proud.
The real problem was I find my self hitting a wall, metaphorically and possibly literally.
Midoriya Izumi was that wall.
The entire time after She beat Todoroki I've been trying to make a workable plan, and so far I have nothing. Not only does she have a dangerous range attack, but even if I got close enough to land a hit she would just burst into mist like our heroics class.
"Would Midoriya Izumi please make her way to the arena." Midnight announced for the second time as my classmate was not here yet.
Midoriya was now walking out of the tunnel into the arena but something was amiss. While her normal expression could be described as tired acceptance of life but now she pensive look. As unsportsmanlike as it may be this would help greatly if she was distracted.
"Are the competitors ready? Begin!" Midnight yells after a nod from me and a absent minded nod from Midoriya.
Immediate bursting into a sprint to try and surprise my classmate. Turns out she was not as distracted as I thought because right when my foot would have his her midsection it passes right through.
Following up with a spin and a second kick I am shocked when it actually connects with something. Trying to perform another attack my leg refuses to move. looking at said appendage a gray skinned hand is holding my ankle, said hand grips tightly. I feel my whole body get lifted and tossed to the side sailing at the boundaries at high speeds.
Thinking quick I push a huge burst out of my engines stopping my loss. Righting myself just in time to evade a kick aimed for my chest. jumping up I give another burst and spin with my legs out in a wild attempt to create space and it worked as Midoriya backs up.
"Your times almost up." Midoriya rasps out while taking a fighting stance.
That confused me until I realized what she was referring to, my engines are about to stall.
I only have one shot left.
Rushing into faint low kick Midoriya mists but that was the plan as I pivot into a spin letting out the last burst shooting my foot right into her head.
POW!
A very loud hit rings through the arena as I hoped a hit like that to the head would knock Midoriya out.
Hope and reality are very far apart.
Midoriya head was turned to the side from the hit and a second later she looks back at me. Neither of us move until she seems to roll something around in her cheek them spits a glob of blood out.
"Ah..." Was all I could say.
"Yes, ah." She says back.
Faster than what should be possible for someone her size she throws a fist right into my solar plexus, forcing my lung to expel out any air they had. Falling to my knees I gasp for any breath while the back of my shirt is tugged.
It felt like an eternity as Midoriya drags me to the boundaries and gives a light toss ending the match.
"Ida Tenya is out of bounds, winner is Midoriya Izumi!" Miss Midnight announced as the crowd cheers.
"Sorry brother but I tried my best..." Was my only thought.
UA stadium central arena 15 minutes later (Izumi POV)
"Of course the final was him and me." I sigh out as they clean out the the ring from the second to last fight.
While Tokoyami gave his best effort he couldn't do much when Kacchan produced one of Dark Shadow's only weaknesses. At least I was able to cheer him up and Dark Shadow seems to be a very supportive partner.
"And now for our final match to decide the winner of this year's UA sports festival." Present Mic says giving us our que to come up.
Both competitors from Class 1-A have fought tooth and nail to be here, as there teacher what your thoughts?" Present Mic continued turning to Aizawa for a answer.
"No comment." was his response.
"Deku I'm winning this." Kacchan says in probably the lowest tone I've ever heard him speak.
"You can try... But I'd hate to disappoint Mom." I say as we both look to the front rows of the stadium.
Mom was currently finishing up her third row of fireworks while Mitsuki was twisting the fuses together. It was great to have such a supportive mom but there are limits.
"Alright try not to kill each other, BEGIN!" Midnight yells striking her whip for the final time.
BOOM!
Not half a second in and Kacchan is flying right at me, in an open space his maneuverability was high. Teleporting to where he was standing I spin around forming my shotguns loaded with three rubber balls in each shell.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Firing three time at his back I managed to hit him a couple of times, but that was part of his plan.
BOOM!
Suddenly he shoots straight up with the sun now obscuring his body. Instinctively I avert my eyes from the bright sky and dissipated just to be safe, which was the right choice.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Where my misty form was is now a massive crater of rubble and smoke. Moving over and reforming I take aim again this time much closer.
Crack! BOOM!
Right as I fire he uses an explosion to spin around crossing his arms to cover his head. Going in for a heavy kick was a mistake when I was about to connect his palms fly out.
BOOM!
I was knocked back a good distance almost falling out of bounds but mange to dissipate at the edge. Reforming shotguns raised this time with beanbag shells loaded.
Crack! Crack!
Kacchan goes down hard as two beanbags slam into his legs making him roll slightly and stop face down. This may have been a bit excessive but this fight has gone on long enough.
His arms start to move but that wouldn't be a problem.
Crack! Crack!
Two more shots into arms.
"I think we are done." I say tossing my shotguns down.
If his legs and arms weren't broken then they were definitely feeling terrible.
"Bakugo be honest, can you move?" Midnight asks with a hand covering her microphone.
"I'm not done!" He says still trying to move.
"He's done..." I say crossing my arms.
"If Bakugo can not get up in ten seconds then the match goes to Midoriya." Midnight announced.
"10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2.-" Midnight counts down but gets cut off at two as Kacchan stands up.
"I said I'm not done!" Kacchan yells standing on shaking legs.
"Stubborn as always." I say shaking my head.
He tried to take a step but falls over again this time all out of energy.
"I'll ask again, can you move?" Midnight repeats.
Kacchan just growls.
"I'll take that as no. Bakugo is unable to continue. Winner of the UA sports festival, Izumi Midoriya!" Midnight announced causing the crowd to explode.
Unknown location five minutes later (All For One POV)
"Ha that will show you brat." I whisper seeing the spawn of Mitsuki get beaten by my obviously superior child.
During the entire time I courted Inko there was always her best friend Mitsuki right next to her saying how she should dump me. It took an inhuman amount of self control to not make the infuriating woman dissappear, but that would have made Inko sad.
"Ah what we do for love..." I say to myself.
"We will be having our metal presentation ceremony after this quick commercial break so don't go anywhere!" Says the Voice hero.
"Doctor how goes the procedure?" I say switching cameras to the operating room.
"It's going quiet well, I'm just putting the finishing touches." The Doctor says looking up at the camera.
Young Tomura was out cold on the metal table with an oxygen mask affixed to his face, where his stump of an arm was now had an somewhat human replacement. The arm was a shade of red with sharp talons for fingernails, probably taken from some person the Doctor was experimenting on.
"It will take some time but he should have full use eventually." the Doctor says twisting his mustache.
"Will he have the use of his quirk?" I ask.
"Honestly hard to tell, only with time will we know" He responds.
"Keep me informed of any changes." I say switch back to the other camera.
"Now here to present our metals is our newest heroics teacher All Might!" Came the broadcast showing a three pedestals with my little Izumi standing in first place.
The large buffoon walls out in that ridiculous costume holding a gold, silver, and bronze metal. The first one is given to a young man with a bird head who thanks the idiot with a slight nod. The second is the Bakugo brat who hisses like a cat and grabs the metal. Of course best for last Izumi who gracefully takes her metal showing her inherent superiority above everyone else.
POP! POP! POP! POP!
The broadcast cam zooms out to massive fireworks display in the stadium that looks like and amazing rendition of Izumi's face lights up the area. the camera pans over to the sorce of the display and Inko is standing on her seat firing off confetti while her friend Mitsuki is lightning another row of fuses. The cam pans back over to the pedestals showing Izumi with a hand covering her face.
"What a very enthusiastic display from one of our attendees. With that our first day of the UA sports festival comes to a close. Tune in same time tomorrow for our second year students. Present Mic and my co-host Eraser Head signing off." He says as the TV goes to commercial.
"Hehe haha hahahahahahhaha" Cough!
The only thing I can do is laugh at what I just witnessed. Inko was always one to over celebrate especially when it involves our daughter, but that was the most over the top display of parental pride I have ever seen.
"Haha cough! damn my nonexistent lung capacity." I say trying to control breathing.
Truly this moment is the most I wish to congratulate my daughter in person.
Midoriya apartment 4 hours later (Inko POV)
After the celebration that Izumi and her friends had in a local restaurant she asked if we could spend time together and watch a movie. Now she was passed out on the couch tired from all of the days flurry of events.
One of our favorite thing to do together has always been watching movies all night just enjoying each others company. Something we used to do with Hisashi before he went missing over a decade ago.
It may be a sore subject around the house but it's little things like this that we use to keep his memory alive. Even our movie choices are always movies Hisashi would have liked and loved to share with us. He was always picking classic movies that came out over a century ago or older saying that's when movies had substance.
Nodding off myself I can't help but think how proud Hisashi would be with Izumi.
