Tears of a Green Hero

by Cyclorocodile

Ever wondered if Deku had the powers of link in ToTK? No? Well that's too bad. I had the idea stuck in my head and now it's everybody else's problem. This is my first FF so let me know how I did.

10. Chapter: 10 King

'Well done to out top 42 contestants who will proceed onto the second round. For the others that didn't make it there's plenty of other games and sports to show your skills.' Midnight stated. 'Now let's get right to the second round, looks like it's going to be, "The Cavalry Battle", you'll have to make a team with up to four people. You will have a rider who will have to wear a headband above their neck with the amount of points your team is worth. If your rider touches the ground you will have to drop your headband on the ground and exit the arena before re-entering. Any questions?'

'Can you be on a team by yourself?' Bakugo asked.

'You can, but you'll be forced to fly throughout the entire competition.' Bakugo cursed as he saw the fifteen minute timer on the board, while was much better at flying then he once was, sustained flight for that long was beyond him if he wanted to compete in the third round.

'How are the team's points calculated?' Izuku asked.

'Good question young man and fitting coming from you. If you'll look to the board now you'll see the scores. Each person is given a point value depending on where they placed, starting from five with Minoru Mineta and increasing by five for each place above. Except that is for first place, your team no matter what, will instead have a gold headband which is an instant win. Whoever holds that headband at the end will progress to the third round. You have ten minutes to pick your teams.'

Izuku felt the shift as everyone's eyes turned to him, shining with greed. He swallowed heavily before starting to plan, with his abilities and a few others he could probably pull this off, with a grin he raced over.

'Hey Momo want to team up?'

'Well I guess I'll definitely have to prove my worth if I'm on the number one team. I'm in Izuku, who else were you thinking?'

'Really dude? You want me? Why? I figured you'd go with Bakugo or Shinso.'

'No, you're the only person who can make my plan work, please Kaminari?'

'HA, sounds like it'll be a blast. Let's fry the competition' he said with a high five.

'HEY MR NUMBER ONE' the Pink haired Support student yelled from behind Izuku. 'I want to be on your team. You're the perfect person to show off my babies.'

'Um what?' Izuku eloquently stated.

'My babies were going to make them destroy the competition.'

'Again, what?' Izuku was completely baffled as he looked at the equally confused faces of Momo and Kaminari.

Izuku did his best to ignore what she was saying to focus on what she wanted, 'So you want to be on the team? That's actually perfect. We're going to be the most kitted out team here. Let's start building.'

'Let's have a look at the teams that have formed. It looks like most of the teams have stayed within their own classes.' Mic announced.

'It's only logical, to work with people whose abilities you know. If you're going into a fight without knowing what your enemies can do, you should at least make sure you know what the people on your side can.'

'An excellent but boring lesson as usual Shota. Now Midnight is that even legal?'

As Mic asked that, the curtain covering Izuku's contraption was removed.

Instantly there was outbursts from the other competitors asking Midnight the same question. The contraption in question looked like a tank, reinforced on all sides by sleds that were made from Izuku's unique Autobuild material. On top was a hole for a member of their team to control the turret mounted to the top. The large wheels on the sides provided movement while frost emitters on the front and flame throwers on the back provided added offence. To add insult to injury the entire tank seemed to be wrapped in barbed wire.

'I'll allow it, provided that all the parts were made using your quirks, or were pre-approved by the support teacher.' Midnight declared. Izuku nodded his conformation.

'Everyone get ready, three, two one... GO'

Immediately Bakugo's team of Kirishima, Sero and Shinso rushed towards Izuku. Momo in response started launching out crowd suppressant bean bags from the tank's main cannon. Bakugo simply blasted the bags from the air and continued to advance. As Bakugo flew through the air a long mechanical arm extended through the gaps of the tank to try to grab his headband.

'NO WAY NERD, YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY FROM ME' Bakugo screamed as he deflected the arm and landed on the top of the tank.

His body immediately locked up at the electrical current Kaminari circulated through the metal. Izuku quickly used Ultrahand to grab Bakugo's headband, whipping it into the tank and then pushed Bakugo off by controlling his shirt. As he fell backward Sero grabbed him with his tape to bring him back to their chariot.

Izuku's team started racing around the arena, the robotic arms snapping out to try to snatch headbands from teams they passed. They weren't immune to attacks however as a wall of ice cut off their escape trapping them in the corner of the arena with Todoroki's team.

Todoroki's team was made up of Iida, Ashido and Uraraka. They raced towards the tank, travelling at Iida's full speed not slowed by gravity or friction.

'I will be number one Midoriya. I won't let you stand in my way' Todoroki said with just a hint of passion leaking into his words.

At those words Izuku started to enact his Todoroki counter measures. Instead of the flame throwers he was expecting to be met by, Todoroki was instead faced with a wall of cryogenic air that they sped into.

While he was more cold resistant then most, using his ice in large waves quickly brought him closer to hypothermia. Iida was racing forward too quickly to stop on the suddenly icy ground, they were soon surrounded by freezing air.

'Ashido get through the defence' he ordered.

'N-n-no w-worrrrrries b-boss' Ashido stated through chattering teeth. She sent out a wave of acid from her hand but due to the cold temperature it solidified. Instead of an even coat to destroy the entire side of the tank a single hardened corner bumped the wall.

Izuku used recall to throw the block of acid back at the approaching team. They scattered, Todoroki jumping into the air being weightless apart from his clothes. While high in the air, finally clear of the cryogenic cloud, he created an enormous iceberg from his hand to slam into the roof of the tank.

Before they could be squished flat, the tank lifted just slightly off the ground and jetted forward with a rocket blast. Just short of slamming into Todoroki's ice wall they made a hard turn by using one of Mei's wire arrows.

'HAHAHAHAHA, This is great Number 1. Everyone be aMeized by my babies' Mei screamed with excitement.

Todoroki landed on top of the pillar of ice he had created. He quickly leapt back to his team, continuing the chase. Before he could arrive however a blast from the other side of the ice shattered a large hole as Bakugo's team joined them.

Bakugo's head was wrapped with at least four headbands but he clearly wasn't satisfied with a solid second. He launched explosions towards both Todoroki and Midoriya's teams, causing the tank to rock in place. Todoroki was forced to put up a wall of ice behind his team while Uraraka was forced to release her gravity back onto the team so that they weren't blown away.

Bakugo launched back into the air, landing on the roof of the tank he was careful to avoid the metal wires wrapped around it. He pushed his hand against one of the glued joints holding the left wall in place, and with a boom crack the wall of the tank flew away and shattered into green light.

Inside Mei stood towards the front using her robotic arms to reach out through the gaps, Kaminari sat towards the back looking vaguely spaced out as electricity continued to pour out of him. Izuku was at the control in the middle while Momo stood on his shoulders firing their roof turret. At the destruction of the door Izuku spun to the left to try to protect their vulnerable side, stopping Bakugo's chariot from reaching them.

'HEY PINKY, YOUR INVENTIONS SUCK' Shinso shouted from outside. Before anyone could warn her Mei erupted in anger.

'MY BABIES ARE PERF..'

'Gotcha'

With a quick mental order Mei grabbed the control stick fighting Izuku for control. Using this opportunity Bakugo swung inside launching an explosion which caused Izuku, Mei and Kaminari to slam into the wall on the opposite side.

Mei who dealt with explosions on the daily was the first to regain her bearings, Luckily the explosion had knocked her out of Shinso's control. Bakugo threw a rapid series of punches at the girl, but each one was evaded by her hydraulic braces, jetting her side to side. Momo then dropped from the hole in the ceiling swinging down with an electrified staff. Bakugo caught the staff in hand, using micro explosions to stop the staff from contacting his skin.

At that time Kirishima crashed into and through the good wall of the tank, knocking Izuku forward. Bakugo surged between Momo and Mei grabbing at one of the bands, now noticing that they were all painted gold. He snatched one before being yanked out of the tank by Sero's tape.

Izuku panicked for a second checking his headbands, Luckily Bakugo had gotten back his own. He suddenly felt the temperature plummet, as quickly as he could he summoned six flame throwers. The wave of fire met the wall of ice rocketing towards them, chipping a crack into the mountain of ice just wide enough to save the remainder of the tank.

'Guys I think it's time to bail. Kaminari are you still good to provide some more juice?'

'Weah I am' he answered, slightly slurring his words.

Outside the prison of ice they were trapped in, Bakugo and Todoroki's team began fighting. Todoroki's team carried forward by Iida clashed into Kirishima who stood his ground under the assault. Sero tried to throw his tape over Todoroki to pull him to the ground, but everything he tried was countered by Ashido's acid. Shinso threw out taunts non-stop while trying to Uraraka's hands whenever she tried to use her quirk on him.

Above all this the two powerhouses of 1-A traded blows. Explosions of hot and cold filled the air above their teammates. Limited as they were by the others in the way the deciding factor ended up being hand to hand skill, Todoroki just slightly edged out Bakugo in that regard.

Todoroki dove to the side evading Bakugo's latest punch, as he fell he created a curved slide and propelled himself around, snatching one of Bakugo's headbands in mid-air. Vulnerable as he was he could do nothing as Bakugo cupped his hands tightly.

'Big Bang Blast' Bakugo stated quietly.

From his hands a tightly controlled cone of destructive force met Todoroki full force, launching him clear to the other side of the arena.

'Uraraka, Ashido, Hold tight. RECIPROBURST' Iida screamed as the fire from his engines erupted into blue flame. He covered the distance to his falling captain in the blink of an eye, catching him before he could hit the ground.

With a groan Todoroki made a dome of ice to protect then for the rest of the event.

Bakugo's team smashed their way through the ice to re-engage Midoriya's team, only to find an empty tank and a melted hole above them.

Looking up they saw Midoriya's team far above them flying through the sky, held aloft by a dozen fans.

Aboard the contraption both Midoriya and Kaminari were panting with the exertion of fuelling the device.

'AND TIME' Midnight announced.

Their vehicle immediately started falling, Izuku had just enough presence of mind to use recall then cancel it to halt their momentum before hitting the ground.

'Wow, what a round listeners. Everyone give a cheer to out continuing contestants. Well done to Team Midoriya for holding onto the first place throughout the event. Now let's look at who will face who in the third round.' Mic spoke into the mic in his usual fashion.
