Today, we move into the 2nd sub Arc of the Might of the Titan Arc! Welcome to the beginning of the U.A Sports Festival! But, fair warning. This Arc, might not be what you expect.
I will explain how at the end of this chapter.

Gojira
3 days later…
Gojira could only grumble as he stood at the back of the room.
'I should be out there, hunting the insects that dared to defy death. And yet, here I am, babysitting these hatchlings. If the Rodent wasn't my only hope at returning to my true form…'
Gojira's thoughts trailed off into fantasies of all the ways he would've broken out of the school, and tortured the Insects who defied nature. Mainly revolving around Atomic Burns and Nuclear illness. "You Guys!" Gojira flinched as the all too-happy voice of the invisible girl spoke up. "Did you watch the news last night?" The Tailed one nodded, "Yeah", The sleeve of the invisible girl raised, signifying that she raised her arm. "It was so cool that we got a few seconds of screen time!" The Invisible girl's shoulders then sagged, and her voice took a more sombre tone "Though I bet nobody noticed me hanging out in the background with everyone focusing on Gojira." The multi-armed one winced, "Probably not. It is difficult to stand out when you're just a pair of gloves." The tailed one raised a finger " Add on the fact that Gojira's a natural show stealer and I don't think any of us stood much chance."
'Such concern about popularity. This is mediocre at best compared to what I used to get.'
The Blonde one leaned back on his chair. "Those news channels love us, we're basically celebrities" The Red-haired one nodded, "Yeah, it's crazy right? I mean, we didn't even really do anything" The strange-eared girl sighed, "Get over yourselves, The hero course that pumps out pros were attacked, and a former villain saved us, and that's what they care about." Gojira sighed quietly.
'I knew the human younglings talked often. But this is irritating.'
Unlike the rest of the room's occupants, Gojira himself wasn't concerned about the attack, but rather the attackers. The Nomu in particular.
'It was artificially created by insects. And in insect fashion, I doubt they would've left such a powerful weapon well enough alone. These younglings are missing the point.'
Deciding to add his two cents, Gojira spoke up. "You are all missing the point." Almost instantly the younglings silenced and turned to look at him. "Uh… What point?" the pink one asked, Gojira scoffed, "The Nomu wasn't natural, any fool with eyes could see that." The girl with the ponytail's eyes widened, as she began to understand. "That means it was artificially created." Gojira nodded, "Indeed. Do you know what that means?" this time it was Midoriya who spoke up, "That means there could be more like it." Gojira uncrossed his arms, "Not could Midoriya. Will. You, humans, are destructive and possessive by nature. You find a weapon, and you abuse it. Mark my words, there will be more Nomu, they will be stronger, faster, better. As you all are, you stand no chance against them, and when you meet another Nomu unless you become stronger. You will perish." Silence fell over the room, and Gojira scoffed at the wide eyes that all stared at him. "People aren't like that! Sure some of us are-" the Red Head protested standing up, but Gojira levelled a glare at him, silencing him. "You discovered how to make fire, and now you have bombs and flamethrowers, you discovered farming, and now you destroy nature for money and personal gain. You discover Radiation, and you create the Nuclear Bomb, and now, there is the Nomu. Quirks are just the latest in the eternal line of exploitation." The redhead opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out, and Gojira rolled his eyes.
"Attention!" Gojira groaned as he heard the voice of the jetted one running into the room. "Homeroom class is about to begin! Everyone stop talking and return to your seats!" Gojira's face palmed at the Insects antics. "Uh, we're all sitting." The red-haired one said, and the elbow one agreed. "Yeah, you're the only one standing." The Jetted insect was sitting down before elbow even finished his sentence, "Dang it!" he muttered. The Chubbyish one tried to console the Jetted one, "Don't sweat it." The Pink one leaned back in her seat to talk to the frog behind her. "Hey, Tsu. So who do you think is going to be teaching class today?" the Frog tilted her head, "No idea, Mr. Aizawa's still in hospital recovering from his injuries." Recognizing an approaching scent, Gojira nearly chuckled.
'That human is certainly resilient.'
The door opened and Gojira felt a small flare of respect ignite for Aizawa as he walked into the room. "Morning, Class." "Mr. Aizawa?! What are you doing here!" the younglings all shouted in shock. The blonde stared at Aizawa in a mix of fear and awe, "Woah, what a pro." Gojira blinked in small surprise as he saw the bandages that covered Aizawa.
'Can he even see?'
The Jetted One raised a hand, "Mr. Aizawa. I'm glad you're okay." The Chubbyish one didn't seem to agree with the Jetted One, "You call that okay?" "My well-being is irrelevant," Aizawa grumbled as he arrived at the desk. "What's more important is that your fight isn't over yet." "Our fight?" asked the 2nd blonde one, "Don't tell me…" Midoriya muttered, "Not more Bad guys!" The Small Insect shouted in fear. "The U.A sports festival is about to start" the Red Head shouted in excitement, while the others shouted, "Why would you scare us like that?!"
'Sports Festival? The Rodent mentioned something along the lines of that.'
"Let's go kick some ass!" The red-haired one shouted, "Wait, a second, is it really such a good idea to hold the sports festival so soon after the villains snuck inside?" The weird-eared one asked, "They could attack once we're all in the same place." The tailed one said. "Apparently, the administration thinks this is a good way to show that the threat has been handled and our school is safer than ever. Plus they've been beefing up security compared to past years, and that's without Gojira's presence. This is a huge opportunity for all students at U.A. It's not something we can cancel because of a few villains." Aizawa explained. "Uh I'm sorry, but why not? It's just a sports festival?" the small insect asked, Gojira would take it to the grave, but he shared the Small Insects' views here sadly. Midoriya turned around to face the small insect, "Huh? Mineta, don't you know how important this competition is?", the Small Insect nodded, "Of course I do! I just don't wanna get murdered" "Our sports festival is one of the most watched events in the entire world. In the past everyone obsessed over the Olympic games." Gojira huffed quietly at Aizawa's words, muttering, "They were entertaining, I always watched those." He didn't fail to notice the weird-eared girl flinch and glance back at him with a confused look.
'Hmm, super hearing. Noted.'
"But then Quirks started appearing. Now the Olympics have been drastically reduced in terms of scale and viewership. For anyone who cares about competition, there's only one tournament that matters. The U.A sports festival." Gojira descended into continuous muttering, unhappy that one of his old favourite shows was overcome by a child's competition. "That's right! And top heroes everywhere will be watching. This is where you get scouted." The ponytailed one said, "Sure, unless you're dead." The small Insect said, "She's right. After graduating, a lot of people join pro agencies as a sidekick." "Yeah but that's as far as some go, they miss their chances to go indie and stay eternal sidekicks. Actually, that's probably where you're headed. You're kinda dumb" The weird eared one said to the Blonde one. Gojira didn't even comment, instead focusing on the fall of the Olympics.
'Humanity decides that watching children use their Quirks to cheat is more entertaining than watching the fruits of hard labour and dedication.'
It was Aizawa's voice that finally brought Gojira out of his rumbling, "It's true that joining a famous hero agency can garner you greater experience and popularity. That's why the festival matters. If you wanna go pro one day, then this event could open a path for you. One chance a year. Three chances in a lifetime, no aspiring hero can afford to miss this festival. That means you better not slack off on your training" The class all nodded, but before Aizawa dismissed them Midoriya raised his hand, "What is it Midoriya?" Aizawa asked, "It's about the festival." Aizawa sighed, "What about it?' "I know that, for all of us, it's a chance to test our skills and grow against others. But what about Gojira?" Midoriya asked, the Small Insect yelped as a haze of despair and fear surrounded him, "Oh shit! I totally forgot about him! If he's in the Festival… we don't stand a chance!" the Blonde one joined in, also sharing the fear "Forget that, we won't survive he'll kill us all!" Gojira scoffed.
'They know their place. This festival may prove useful after all, in showing these insects how weak-'
"That's simple, he won't be participating," Aizawa revealed, cutting off Gojira's thoughts and the ramblings of the younglings. "What?" Gojira asked, confused and annoyed, Aizawa shrugged, "After seeing your performance with Nomu, it was obvious that the festival would be little but a game for you. And in doing so, you would steal all of the opportunities from the other students. So we decided that you won't participate in it." Many of the insects sighed in relief at that, and Gojira deadpanned. "Class is dismissed"
'That Rodent's always ruining my fun'
Later that day…
"That villain stuff sucked for sure. But I'm pumped for these games!" The red-haired one shouted. "We put on a good show, and we're basically on the road to bein' pros!" exclaimed the weird-elbowed one. "Yeah, this is why I'm even here in the first place." The fat-lipped one said, "We get so few chances. We have to make the most of this." The bird one muttered.
"Oh, man Ojiro. I'm getting kind of nervous about the festival. I have to come up with a way to be noticed!" The Invisible Girl said, "Uh, Sure." the tailed one agreed in slight confusion, "Maybe with a cheer!" "Maybe you should be looking at a shinier costume or something? Otherwise, you're gonna have to try really hard." The Tailed one said. "My, what's a boy to do? I stand out even when I'm standing still. That means the scouts won't be able to take their eyes off me!" The 3rd blonde one said, pointing at the rock-headed one, "Don't you agree?" The Rock-headed one then nodded repeatedly.
"You're so lucky shoji. People are bound to notice your unique Quirk" the Blonde one sighed, "Sure but what matters is that I show them how useful I can be" The multi-armed one said, "No doubt you'll make a scene, too" The weird eared one snickered, making the Blonde one growl.
Gojira shook his head, before turning to Midoriya and walking over to him and his group. "This is gonna be nuts! Everyone's so excited." Midoriya said happily, "well, yeah. Of course, we are! We enrolled at this school with the sole aim to become heroes. So naturally, we're getting all fired up." The jetted one exclaimed. "Wow Iida, those are some interesting moves ribbit" the frog observed. "You have to be excited too, right, Midoriya?" The Jetted one said, making small hand chops as he did. "Well, yeah of course I am! And also nervous." Midoriya said, although there was a hint of confidence in his usually weak voice. Likely a result of his training. "Deku! Iida!" Gojira, Midoriya and the Jetted one all looked at the Chubbyish one, and Gojira was surprised at the look of absolute determination and bloodlust on her face.
'What the hell is wrong with her?'
"Let's do our best in the sports festival." she said, "Uraraka, what happened to your face?" Midoriya asked in surprise and slight fear. "You're normally, like, the most laid-back girl ever." The Pink one observed. "PMS?" The small insect asked, only to be promptly slapped by the Frog's tongue. The Chubbyish one raised a hand into the air as shadows covered the top of her face, giving her a demonic appearance "Everyone! I'm gonna do my best!" she shouted. Midoriya and the jetted ones raised their hands in agreement, although with much less energy. With Pinky joining in, "Yeah!". The Chubbyish one then turned to the Red-haired one, the Bird one, and the elbow one. "I said, I'm gonna do my best!" They also raised their arms, "You okay? Ya kinda look like you're losin' it," the red-haired one said. Gojira nearly flinched as the Chubbyish one then turned to her. "I SAID, I'M GONNA DO MY BEST!" she screamed. Although she and everyone else noticed who she had shouted at, they all went quiet and The Chubbyish one's face turned to worry. But Gojira chuckled, "You have a fire within you. Good." Uraraka blinked, before smiling "Thanks!" Her face then returned to bloodlust and she went off to find new victims.
After the end of school…
Gojira hummed in satisfaction as the final class ended, and he could finally return to training, and extend an offer to Uraraka.
'Uraraka has devotion and a strong competitive spirit. But her strength betrays her. Perhaps she would do well in training as well.'
But as he stood up and walked towards the exit, where the Jetted one, Midoriya and Uraraka all currently stood, he paused before frowning and muttering, "What the hell?". Blocking the exit of the room was a mob of younglings. "U-um, why the heck are you all here?" Uraraka shouted, "Do you students have some sort of business with our class?" The Jetted one asked, "Why are you blocking our doorway? I won't let you hold us hostage!" The Small insect shouted. "They're scouting out the competition, idiots." The 2nd blonde one said as he walked past them, "We're the class that survived a real villain attack. They just want to see us with their own eyes." he continued, while Midoriya was assuring the Small Insect that the 2nd blonde wouldn't explode anyone. "At least now you know what a future pro looks like. Now move it extras" The 2nd blonde growled. Instantly the Jetted one shouted, "You can't walk around calling people extras Just because you don't know who they are!"
'The 2nd Blonde isn't wrong though.'
But as Gojira watched the scene with amusement, a new voice spoke up. "So this is class 1-A. I heard you guys were impressive, but you just sound like an ass." As Gojira watched, a lanky purple-haired boy pushed himself to the front of the crowd. Almost immediately Gojira disliked him. "Is everyone in the hero course delusional, or just you?" The others next to Gojira were shocked and began to shake their heads in a warning. "How sad to come here and find a bunch of egomaniacs, not to mention you've got a villain for a friend." Gojira narrowed his eyes at the last part, "I wanted to be in the hero course, but like many others here, I was forced to choose a different track. Such is life. I didn't cut it the first time around, but I have another chance. If any of us do well in the sports festival, the teachers can decide to transfer us to the hero course. And they'll have to transfer people out to make room." The Jetted one, Uraraka and Midoriya all gasped at that. "Scouting the competition? Maybe some of my peers are, but I'm here to let you know, that if you don't bring your very best. I'll steal your spot right from under you. Consider this a declaration of war" Gojira laughed at that, making the lanky boy move his head back in surprise. "A declaration of war? Pitiful." Gojira walked forward, making the insects step back, to the lanky one's credit, he stood still for a little longer than most. "Pitiful? I don't think you understand. Even if you're from the New Goals course, you aren't safe from being transferred out. If I was you, I would be careful or I'll take one of your friend's places" Gojira scoffed, "Insect, you should watch your tongue. You had your chance to get into this room, you just like everyone else. And you failed, like so many." He then glared at the boy, "That means that everyone in this room is better than you, stronger than you. They are superior. If you take their place, they don't deserve to be here. But until that happens, they do. And I look forward to seeing you be beaten into your place, even If I can't do it myself." The Lanky one's eyes widened in freight, and Gojira growled, turning his gaze to the others, "Now leave, before I start breaking bones." He then turned around to face Uraraka and Midoriya, "Midoriya, Uraraka, come with me." The two nodded and ran to his side, and they left, the mob of insects parting like the red sea before them.
20 Minutes later…
"Uhh, Gojira, what are we doing here?" Midoriya asked, confused. Gojira had taken them to one of the free Battle Centres and was standing in front of them with crossed arms. "Uh, yeah why am I here Gojira? You've never asked me to train with you before" Uraraka asked, scratching the back of her head, Gojira sighed, "I asked you to train here Uraraka because you earned a sliver of respect from me." Uraraka blinked, "Respect? How?" Gojira pointed at her, "Your fighting spirit. Your fierce determination was impressive and unexpected from you. As such you have earned the right to train alongside Midoriya. I will put you through hell, but you will become stronger for it. Are you ready?" Uraraka's eyes widened but she nodded, and Gojira smirked, as he took on a more feral stance, and glared at them "Good. Now run."
2 weeks later…
Gojira huffed as he watched the bleachers below.
He, alongside numerous other U.A Staff and Pro-heroes, was seated in a special booth, away from the other insects. He sorely recognized anyone else, but apparently, others recognized him. "Oi! Scaly" Gojira looked up and turned his head to see a short, oddly familiar figure storming up to him, anger written on her face. Dismissing the nickname, Gojira merely looked at her, "Last time I was here, I couldn't say what I wanted to. But that ain't the case now." Gojira deadpanned "Do I know you?" the woman's eyes widened and she just stared at him in mute shock for a moment. That's when Gojira began to take note of several features, dark skin, strong build, long white hair, red eyes, and bunny ears. Sighing he said, "Ah right, Muro", an expression of absolute rage covered the woman's face, "It's Mirko Jackass!", "Sure whatever." Mirko tapped his chest, "I've got a score to settle. And you better be ready for when I do." Gojira rolled his eyes but said nothing, "And what're you doing up here anyway?" Mirko asked, Gojira looking at her said blankly, "I am acting as both security and a referee for the students of U.A, I will stop the fights if they get out of hand, and I will stop any intruders from entering during the earlier rounds." Mirko blinked, "Then what're you doing here?" she asked, Gojira nodded at her, "Talking to you" Mirko growled but before she could answer him, an irritating voice boomed out from the speakers near him. "Hey-o! Make some noise you Rabid sports fans!" Gojira sighed, "That's my cue to leave." so turning around he left the booth and headed towards the exit to patrol the stadium.
15 minutes later…
Gojira grumbled as he continued his path around the stadium.
'This is boring. Almost makes me regret choosing this job. Almost.'
"Izuku Midoriya is our champion!" Gojira looked up at the nearby projector, and let a small grin grow on his face. "Good job Midoriya" but as he looked down, he realized there were 2 Pro-heroes staring at him in mute surprise. One of them looked like a walking tree, while the other looked like a human compressor, there was a third one to the side, a female, wearing an extremely tight outfit. "What?" he asked, deadpanning at the other Pro-Heroes. The walking tree pointed at him, "You're the guy who thought Godzillo aren't you? The former villain Gojira!" Gojira nodded, but before he could respond, he felt a foot plant itself into his cheek and push him back a foot or two.
Eyes widening in anger, Gojira spun around to see the female Pro-hero in a fighting stance, "The Villain Gojira?! This is a golden opportunity for me!" She shouted. While the Walking Tree and Compressors' eyes widened and they were waving their arms trying to get the foolish girls' attention.
'Moronic fool, she will need to be put in her place.'
With a single glance at the walking tree and compressor, he conveyed his message and they both stopped. Agreeing with him, although their eyes were requesting that he didn't break her. He also glanced at the nearby media.
'She must be extremely foolish for that to be their one request. And from what I hear, hero rankings are partially reliant on public recognition. So I guess I'm about to jump up the ladder I haven't even begun to climb'
Gojira raised his head, "Don't attack me again Insect." the Pro-Hero scoffed, "Callin me an insect?! I'm Mt Lady!" Gojira deadpanned, "Nah, you're Mt Shorty" the other 2 Pro-heroes chuckled at the insult, while the Blonde Pro looked outraged. "I'll show you!" and with that, she began to grow. Gojira slowly raised his head in small surprise as the Pro-Hero grew to large proportions, but Insect standard. "With my Quirk, Gigantify, I'll defeat you!" she proclaimed.
'She calls that Gigantify? She's what, 67 feet tall? Please, my Kaiju form is more than 5x that height.'
The Pro raised a foot and went to crush him beneath it. But Gojira merely looked up at it and raised his right hand. Grunting from the impact, Gojira nearly stumbled but held firm as he held the Pro back with one arm. "Weak." was all he said, as he pushed the foot off him, slammed his tail into the ground, and uppercut the Pro Heroine, making her stumble back towards the stadium.
'Ah shit. She's gonna wreck it.'
The Heroine seemed to have the same thought train, as she quickly returned to her original form. An animalistic grin growing on his face, he leapt up, around 60 feet, and caught her in his arms, much to her surprise. "Hey! Let me go!" She shouted as he landed back on the ground, grunting slightly as he did. Gojira merely chuckled as she continued to hit his chest in a futile attempt to make him release her. After sending a glare at the media to make them scram, he put her over his shoulder and walked over to the other 2 Pro Heroes. "Yu, do you have any idea what you just did?" The tree asked, the Pro heroine cried out in anger and despair from his shoulder, "Are you guy's in on this too? I don't wanna be kidnapped!" the compressor sighed, "Gojira went through the New Goals program Yu, he's a good guy now. And you just attacked him." Gojira dropped the Heroine, who had a very shocked look on her face, onto the ground. "Then why'd you let me fight him?!" she shouted jumping up, the walking tree shrugged, "We thought you needed a lesson, and Gojira just so happened to provide the chance. Besides, he fought the No.2 of America on equal footing, you really thought you would have beaten him?" To this, the Pro-Heroine deflated mumbling depression. While Gojira only scoffed, "You should learn to recognize your superiors. Godzillo was a much stronger opponent than you." He then turned around to head back into the stadium.
1 Hour Later…
Gojira chuckled as he watched the pure, unadulterated rage that was coming from Bakugou "I don't want that piece of Garbage!" All-Might reached out to place the medal on Bakugou's head, "C'mon now" "Get that Trash offa me, you idiot!" However, Bakugou's struggle was useless as the medal then decided to rest in his jaw. Standing on the podium, was the 3 that Class 1-A had taken to calling the 'monster trio' Bakugou was in first, with Todoroki in 2nd, and finally Midoriya in 3rd.
Sadly, even with his training, Uraraka had been unable to defeat Bakugou but had definitely managed to damage him. However, his attention was more locked on Todoroki than Bakugou.
They had managed to impress him with their displays, and the pushing of their limits. But more than that was the truth of Todoroki's quirk. Fire with his left, and Ice with his right, a powerful quirk, especially considering he only used his fire in the battle with Midoriya, even still Midoriya had nearly come out on top. Full Cowling had proven to be a boon for Midoriya.
'Hmm, continued training with Full Cowling and overall body strengthening for Midoriya. Nausea training for Uraraka, and perhaps attitude adjustment for Todoroki if I was to train him.'
Gojira shook his head, since when was he becoming a mother-Saurus for these younglings? Although, a flash of Jr and Minilla was all it took for him to understand.
'Is this a result of my Kaijin transformation? I do remember something about grief and trauma in the books that the Rodent provided me. I'll have to look into it.'
But as Gojira watched, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye, the running form of the Jetted one. Taking a whiff, his eyes widened slightly. Even from here, and the distance between them, the stench of grief, worry and despair was intoxicating.
'Interesting.'
And… there we go!
The U.A sports festival is done!
… in one chapter…
Look, guys, I'm sorry for condensing an entire Arc into one chapter, but I just didn't want to write things that Gojira doesn't directly interfere with.
If you want the rundown of what happened, you just need to watch the events of this in MHA canon, cause that's the best way to tell. But aside from that, nothing really changes.
I'm really sorry if this chapter wasn't that good, but I just want to get to the really good stuff, that being, the 5th Arc of this story, and the end of the 1st season.
So I now bid you farewell!
Small insect = Mineta Minoru = Gojira just despises the Midget
Blonde 1 = Denki Kaminari = Gojira likes him the best out of the 3
Blonde 2 = Katsuki Bakugou = Gojira likes him the 2nd out of the 3
Blonde 3 = Yuga Aoyama = Gojira likes him the least out of the 3
