Author Notes: this is a "My Hero Academia (Boku no Hiro Akademia) fanfiction story. I claim no rights, or anything associated with this series as they are rightfully owned by Kohei Horikoshi. This is an AU story that I came up with after seeing the images of Izuku looking like a snake. Some of the abilities and attacks that Izuku will have either come from other anime/manga series (so please don't hate). The images that I will be using aren't mine as I got them from the web so all credit goes to them. Warning before I begin, it won't be exactly like the series as I did change things to make this story my own. First thing is that Katsuki Bakugo isn't a bully to Izuku as he is a true and loyal best friend, second thing is that All Might never gives his quirk to anyone nor is he injured or getting weaker, third thing is that Izuku's have a quirk will have abilities similar to that of Mina's and Asui's but very different in the way that he uses it, and fourth thing is that I will be not having some people in the story because I don't either like them or don't find them useful for this story (Yuga Aoyama, Koji Koda, Toru Hagakure, Minoru Mineta, Manga Fukidashi, and Neito Monoma). Please be sure to leave your thoughts and comments telling me what you think of the story as I greatly appreciate the feedback. Also who do you guys think should win the sports festival? I have an idea of whom I would like to see win but I would like your guys opinion.

Chapter Twelve: rivals

Izuku was a bit stunned that his plan worked so well. The roar of the crowd broke him out of his shocked state as he walked over towards Iida undoing the paralyses.

"You will make a great hero Iida just remember not to underestimate your opponent. They may surprise you." Iida nodded his head understanding Izuku's words.

"Good luck in the next round." Iida stated. Izuku looked over to the stands to see Katsuki give him the thumbs up before walking off to get ready. Izuku knew that his next match with his next match with his best friend wasn't going to be easy. Every time the two trained together and performed mock battles, Bakugo always won. This time Izuku was more determined to win. But he also knew that it won't be an easy fight to win.

'I will give it my all regardless.' Izuku thought to himself as he went to get ready for his next match against his best friend and rival... Bakugo. It would take everything Izuku had to win his match.

The crowd roared in anticipation as the final match between Bakugo and Midoriya was going to begin.

"All right you mad crazed fans this is the final match between two of the most promising course. First to the stage is the explosive kid with a fiery temper to match. It is Katsuki Bakugo!" announced Present Mic. Bakugo walked up to the main stage with a serious look on his face. "Next to the stage is possibly the most dangerous student in all of class 1A's hero course but he has shown that is only a small fraction of who he is. It is Izuku Midoriya!" announced Present Mic. Izuku walked up to the stage meeting Bakugo in the middle.

"You both know the rules so give it your all." Midnight stated. Bakugo extended his fist out towards Izuku with a sly smirk on his face. Izuku smiled back as he hit Bakugo's fist with his own.

"Now Begin!" shouted Midnight. Izuku and Bakugo leapt back away from each other. Izuku allowed his iron skin to coat his body as it would protect him from Bakugo's explosions. Izuku could already see the sparks light up Katsuki's hands. Bakugo released a huge blast at Izuku. The second that the blast cleared, Izuku was no were to be seen.'

'Damn he's using camouflage so he could be anywhere within the arena. His iron skin active it will protect him from my blasts. He knows that I won't be likely to meet his gaze which won't allow him to use him to use his binding snake glare and hypnotizing snake stare.' Katsuki thought to himself. Katsuki let a huge blast hopefully to reveal where Izuku was hiding. Katsuki managed to dodge barely in time avoiding Izuku's claws. Bakugo leapt back before moving to charge at Izuku. The two traded blows meeting each other in a flurry of fists. The two seemed evenly matched as neither one seemed to be backing down.

The crowd's roars grew as they watched both two students give it there all. Most seemed amazed by their grasp on abilities and power. Both had so must potential as there was no doubt that they will both make great heroes.

"I am ending this right now!" Bakugo stated as he leapt up into the air. Using his explosion's he turned himself into a small tornado. "Howitzer Impact!"

'Kacchan... If you are going to use that move, I will counter using my strongest move.' Izuku thought to himself. Izuku took a long deep breath pooling all of his acid and poison together. "Snake Fang Cannon!" Izuku called out as he unleashed a powerful blast. Both attacks collided resulting in a large explosion which shook through the arena. No one could see the result of who had won the match. Izuku had used his claws to dig into the arena to prevent from being blown out of bounds but, since Katsuki was already in the air he wasn't so lucky as the blast managed to slam him hard against the wall. Everyone within the arena waited with baited breath to find out who had won the sports festival. All Might could feel his power of One for All vibrating through his entire body.

'Is he the one? Is this power meant for Izuku? It is true that he already has two powers of his own which is quite unheard of this day of age. Even the one whom somewhat originally help create One for All the being known as All for One had multiple quirks as he gave a power to what he thought was his quirkless brother not knowing the truth about his ability or quirk that he had.' All Might thought to himself.

"I think the smoke is beginning to clear. I can see a body by the outer wall..." stated Midnight. Everyone gasped out loud as the smoke finally cleared.

"Bakugo Katsuki is out of bounds!" announced Present Mic.

"But where is Izuku Midoriya?" asked Midnight.

The rubble in the arena began to move as Izuku dug his way out.

"Ouch... That was a bit reckless even for me. I even felt that all the way through my iron skin." Izuku muttered out loud as he slithered through the rubble. Wounds littered his body from the resulting blast leaving black and blue's all over him even though his iron skin took most of the damage.

"Izuku Midoriya is the winner of the sports festival!" announced Present Mic. The crowd roared out in cheers and shouts that echoed throughout the arena. Izuku shifted back to normal as he rushed over towards Bakugo to make sure he was alright.

"Kacchan are you all right?" Izuku asked as he went to help Bakugo back up to his feet. Bakugo slowly came too as every inch of his body hurt like hell.

"Anybody get the name of the truck that hit me? God damn everything hurts."

"Sorry Kacchan it seems that when our strongest attacks collided, the resulting blast flung you hard against the wall." Katsuki looked at Izuku in shock.

"Does that mean you won?" Bakugo asked only to see Izuku smile. Katsuki ruffled Izuku's green locks roughly causing the teen to laugh.

Both Izuku and Katsuki found themselves standing on a podium along with Fumikage Tokoyami as Tenya Iida was absent.

"Tenya Iida will not be able to attend the ceremony as an important family emergency has come up. Now the person chosen to give out this years metals is none other than..." Present Mic began as a figure began to descend into the arena.

"Fear not everyone for I am here." announced All Might. The crowd went wild as All Might landed before the podium with metals in hand. The crowd commented how lucky that the first years managed to get All Might to hand out the metals. All Might asked Principal Nezu to present the metals as it gave him the excuse to approach the teens. Something within every fiber of being was telling him to have Izuku take his power, to let him have One for All. Never in his entire life has All Might felt a desire this strong. Izuku had everything that All Might was looking for in the means of a successor. Plus Izuku could see the past One for All users. "These young and inspiring heroes have shown great talent and skill. Lets recognize their strengths they have shown. Now onto the presenting the metals first in sharing the third place with the absent Tenya Iida is Fumikage Tokoyami." All Might stated as he presented Tokoyami his metal. "Keep up the good work."

"Thank you sir!" replied Tokoyami. Next All Might went over towards Bakugo.

"Congratulations on getting second place Katsuki Bakugo. You showed great skill and command over your quirk. You have done really well as you should be proud of yourself."

"I am... Thank you All Might." replied Katsuki as All Might placed the metal around his neck. Bakugo had a large smile on his face. All Might then moved over towards Izuku with a large smile on his face.

"Young Izuku Midoriya you have overcome much odds showing great ingenuity, skill, and command of your quirk. You have shown not only to everyone here but to others that quirks are what you make them to be. You have helped some here not only except their powers but alos them grow because of it. You will make an excellent hero when the time comes." All Might whispered to Izuku that he needed to speak with the snake teen privately Izuku nodded his head that he understood.

After the awards ceremony Izuku meet with All Might in the teacher's lounge. All Might was in his normal form which Izuku had seen first hand.

"All Might...?" Izuku asked wondering what was going on and why All Might called for him.

"Thank you for coming Young Midoriya. After watching you during the sports festival, something within me told me that you should be the one who get One for All." All Might stated. Izuku could see the other ghostly forms nod their heads in unison agreeing to what Yagi just told Izuku. Izuku still felt that there were better choices other than himself but it all of the past and present users of One for All felt this strongly then who was was he to turn it down.

"All Might have you ever considered giving the quirk to two people at once?" Izuku asked. Never has Yagi or the other One for All past users ever considered that thought. Izuku could see the past users shake their heads no.

"Not really. I don't think it has ever been tried before. Let me guess you want to attempt to share One for All with Young Bakguo." Izuku nodded his head. "To tell you the honest truth, I think we should try your idea. I'm not certain if your plan will even work. But let's give it a try." All Might.

Later on Izuku had returned along with Bakugo. All Might was still in his true form.

"Thank you both for coming so quickly."

"All Might what is this about? Deku didn't tell me why you suddenly wanted to see." Bakugo stated.

"I just felt that you should hear it from All Might rather than me." Izuku stated.

"I had a talk with Izuku about whom would get my quirk. I wanted to give it to Izuku seeing how he already possesses what looks like multiple quirks as his eyes can see the past One of All users." Bakugo looked at Izuku in complete shock. Izuku just nodded his head to say what All Might had just said was true. Bakugo felt envious of Izuku in that moment. Whom wouldn't want Izuku to have a powerful quirk like One for All. "However Izuku had come up with an idea of trying to get multiple people to gain the quirk at the same time. This is why I asked Izuku to bring you here. I want you both to inherit One for All. I have no idea if Izuku's idea will even work but, I am willing to give it a try. There is a good chance that only a slight chance of you both inheriting it." All Might stated as he plucked out a strand of hair handing it both to Izuku and Bakugo. "Both of you have to eat eat something containing my DNA in order for the quirk to be transferred. I think a piece of hair should be easy enough. Once its fully digested both of you managed to inherit One for All." Both Izuku and Bakugo looked a bit green in the face when they took the strand of All Might's hair. But both teens took a deep breath as they both swallowed the hair in one gulp like it was spaghetti.
