I don't know why I'm always so late thes days. Hope you guys don't mind.

And also, can any of you do a Wikipedia page or a Tv Trop page for this story. I know I'm asking too much but I appreciate if you guys are willing to help me out.

The final round was one on one battle that they were waiting for. Within next few minutes, the match card was on the LED board. It showed their opponents that they has to face in order to move on to the next round. Until the last one stands, the festival continues. It's matter of time when the winner stands tall at leaderboard. The ten of them who won got listed and paired with random students. Katsuki' red eyes intensely followed the name across him on LED boards, and then he slowly looks at the brown haired girl who was frozen on the spot. It's Katsuki Bakugou facing Ochacko Uraraka. Izumi was next to Uraraka, and placed her hand on the short girl' shoulder.

"Hey, it's alright. I know you can do it." Izumi encourages. Because, Uraraka seems stressed and panicked all of sudden. After all, Katsuki is a strong dude, Ochacko must have that much of awareness.

"I know. It's just..." Uraraka started. She sighed pulling out her phone. "I was thinking of my parents. I told them, I'll do my best." She added and smiled at Izumi.

"And you'll do it, right?" Izumi asked smiling back.

Uraraka looks at Izumi and thought for a second and nodded. "You know, I got this. I'll do it." She said determined. Uraraka encourages her mind with words she knew that's hard to keep. Her parents taught her to never see others smaller than her abilities and strength, and on top of that she's facing someone who's weirdly a hero type in his own way and stronger. This is challenge she'll take way more seriously than her well-being. She doesn't have motivation to do it but she has to step out of her limitations and she will. Today her limits won't stop her. She'll try.

"That's I wanted to hear." Izumi said hugging Uraraka.

"Thanks Ami."

"Hey we're buddies. Who else I support?" Izumi replied giggling.

"So, what about you. Who's up against you?" Uraraka wondered turning her attention back to the LED board. Izumi sighed already knowing who' she up against.

"It's a guy of class 1-C I think. Shinsou Hitoshi. Truly I don't recall I ever seeing him today." Izumi explains.
"Oh, if that's the case, you're at disadvantage." Uraraka says looking at the picture of sleepy looking boy' picture above his name on the board.

"Yeah, I'm kind of lost there. I don't know anything on him. His quirk, I mean." Izumi says.

"I don't know what to say anything, but good luck out there." Uraraka wishes both of them luck.

"You too."

"Okay. Hey Ami, you don't mind if I attend this call, right?" Uraraka asked showing her phone.

"Of course not."
Izumi' last encouragement, drifted off with Uraraka' lack of presence. The brunette was somehow calms her nerves if around. But when she distances their gap, the uneasy feeling currently haunting Izumi, returns. Not like she's afraid of anything. Just her mentality on public interactions or public presence, changed within a day. Izumi used to be confident, easygoing girl who never hesitate to speak what she wants to, in front of everyone. But sadly, the said courageous side of her disappeared mysteriously. The main thing that extinguish her confidence all of sudden is the new perspective of herself she desperately trying to portray in front of others. 'Be the greatest hero and become number one.' That was her first view of being a hero before this whole U.A admission and...Izuku' passing. But soon enough, without her knowing, Izuku' ideology mixed up with her own dreams that lead her to this extant of her worrying what the spectators would think of her.

Now her ideology is the torn up version that merges both her and Izuku' dreams together, pushing her out of her comfort zone and the understanding. 'Be the hero people think of first in their hearts and become the number one for them.' Sadly though, she ever thought of reaching the spot of the number one all this time and she was ready too. However, her guilt and overwhelming emotions made her follow Izuku' dream at some point and unknowingly creating a distance between what's she' doing and what she wanted to be.

Izumi sat there staring blankly at nowhere in particular as she felt something white from corner of her eyes. "Um..Izumi?" A male voice snapped her out of her trance making her flinch slightly. Eyes widen, she looks up at the owner of the voice.

Ojiro, looked back at her apologetically. "Oh..I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to startle you." He apologized bowing.

Izumi shook off her frozen stature as she gave him a little smile. "Don't apologize for it. By the way, what brings you to me?" She wondered.

He nodded and sighed. "I saw who's you're up against the first round. And please hear me out on what I have to say, okay?" He asked politely and waiting for her answer. Izumi frowned but motioned his to continue. "Starting off, I don't remember anything that happened at the cavalry battle. I know it sounds nonsense, but that's the truth." He starts seeing her frown deepen and he looks at the LED board, eying the boy in the interest. "I've barely remember much of it and midway I 'woke' up from whatever I was in. I came here to warn you, Izumi. I remember I answering his question and after that I only remember pure darkness." He added.

"You mean that I-" She put the dots together.

"Yes, you guessed it. Do at any cost, avoid verbal exchanges with him. Don't speak if he's around. That guy's a bit sneaky and there's a higher chance of him taking you off guard." He finished those lines for her.

Izumi looks at him and then at the LED board and nods. "Okay. I'll utilize your advice. Thank you for the info." She said standing up and waving at the tail hero as he walks away.

Two more minutes, and Izumi took a deep breath. At least she knows what she has to do now. 'keep her mouth shut.'

Walking through the hallway leads the balcony again, Izuku walks calmly with hands on either of his hoodie pockets. He thought of his interaction with his sister and her friends, which wasn't his plan. Sensing some fake heroes at the less populated part of the arena, he was doing his duty and when he was returning he chose a different way to get to balcony again and that's how they saw him. He do recall he saw self doubt and little confidence and the overflow of the nervousness, in their soul and eyes. And when he saw his sister close enough, he senses she was doing worse than he originally thought. However he didn't do anything to ease up their spirits or help out his sister. Izuku doesn't see a point of calming his sister, because there's a still part of him that hates her for she did to him. And that part of his heart is the biggest part. Sure, he should be hating Katsuki more than Izumi, but there's another reason to it. Katsuki never was his blood, but Izumi was. Whatever others do to him, being blood related, she could at least be nice to him. However she hated him for no reason and then all of sudden she got more overprotective or she was so mean to him. Before his last breath, she even hurt him physically. There's a lot of things proves that she deserves no forgiveness. Not for now.

This time Izuku chose a free seat at the balcony still away from anyone else. He was on time, because soon the present Mic' screeching voice announced the main event of the festival. "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, NOW THE WAITING HOURS CAME TO AN END, PLEASE WELCOME OUR FIRST PAIR OF FIGHTERS. LET'S SEE WHO WILL THE ONE ADVANCE TOWARDS THE SECOND ROUND." He shouted. "FIRST WALKING TO THE BATTLEGROUNDS, THE BEAUTY OF CLASS 1-A, IZUMI MIDORIYA. AND, WITH THE FEROCITY OF A MOUNTAIN CAT, SHINSO HITOSHI OF CLASS 1-C." Present Mic said as two students with those names walks to the battlefield. Izuku chuckled hearing the fantastic introductions Present Mic did. 'The ferocity of a mountain cat' is mostly looking bored and sleepy, then he got it right about Shinsou. The purple haired boy looked more like a ghost than a mountain cat. Jokes aside, Izuku watches his sister and sensed her mind set. She's unusually panicking today. Her nervousness was also evident on her face as the cameras did a close ups on both of them.

Izuku was right, she's not herself now. She's just a puppet that was controlled by his long lost dreams she picked up along the way.

(IZUMI' POV)

Self awareness hit me all of a sudden. I don't know why but my concentration was full on the quantity of people gathered up and I can literally feel their eyes on me. My body was sweating and shaking, an ache on the midst of my heart. I don't know what's going on with me, but I really want to know. I'm also thirsty. Really want a drink because my throat was scratchy and dry. Those butterflies in my stomach keep increasing in size, my breathing sound was audible to me.

I then looks at the boy standing across me, with a bored look on his face. I wish I was that calm right now. Little did I almost missed the que on beginning the match, due to I wasn't concentrating anything until now. What now? I know my breathing hitching and heartbeat quickening, however before I got here, I've planned a simple strategy on the way. I looks up that boy who was saying something that I cannot hear. I can see his lips moving, and I can guess he's speaking full sentences but still I cannot hear him. Truth to be told, I cannot hear anything at all. What' happening? Looking around, my vision blurred a bit with black spots and sometimes blinding white light. Soon enough I felt like floating above the ground but I'm sure my legs are safely on the concrete, not high above the sky. Those feeling wasn't strange enough? But the next thing happened with me was my legs wobbled even though I no longer feel my own weight for some reason. Wait...my breathing,..it's like a stutter, inhaling and exhaling with a long lag. I don't know why when I looked around, all I saw was like watching a dream but it was real. I don't know why there's no answering me of what's going on with me. After I don't how long, I did felt like I'm on my one knee now, and I had to look a bit up in order to make out the outlines of random things that I can't Identify.

Confusion creeps up my dizzy mind as I looked around and I was met with a wide blue and dull eyes which was staring at me. Why though? What's happening with my lungs? They were tighter and heavy unlike usual. A warm something slid over my cheeks. With my unusually shaky hand I reached out to inspect what that warm thing on my cheek. As my fingertips brushed with it, even after my finger was numb, I knew the warm thing is wet. Tears? Am I crying? What's going on? Looking up at those blue wide eyes I squinted my eyes to get a better look at the person. The figure the boy was just blur to me and my ears ringed all of sudden. I wanted to blink but I don't know why I don't feel anything at all. I'm sure that I was breathing normally, but why I can't breathe anymore. I subconsciously raised both my hands up and clutches my throat and slowly scratched my warm skin. I can feel my lungs shrinking and heart wasn't beating like it used to be. I can literally hear my heartbeats and nothing else. I did expected to hear crowd, but they are now silent. Wait.. Crowd? I looked around once more and I saw something purplish pink blocking my eye sight. I can't unsee the purplish pink color anymore and I little did pick up that, those colors emitting out of my body. As if it's spreading, the color soon distanced itself to mine. Without knowing an earsplitting scream left my mouth like I'm in an intense pain. Honestly, I don't even know what hurts anything that's not my heart. Like it was being crushed, the pain was both numbing and agonizing at the same time. Is that why I'm screaming? I don't know what's what anymore.

My head moved on their own as I stared up at the sky which was so bright that I had to close my heavy eyelids. Then it was dark and my breathing was non existent as I feel what's going on with my heart. I must have concentrated so much that I regretted it already as that numbness of it faded exposing me to the pain that hidden behind it. Now I know why I screamed a little while ago, because next thing I remember is I was on the ground rolling around and my nails left scratches on my skin as I scratch it out of pain. My heart was like being squeezed as well as bunch of knife stabbing through the flesh. Even though my thinking got more faded, I still realized what's going on with me. But it's too late though.

Even though I can't breathe in correctly, I noticed a nice smell enter my nostrils that somehow comforted me and pushed me into darkness.

The arena was dead silent as they saw the picture of Izumi Midoriya on the LED screen darkened and Shinso' picture brightened with some letters written under it. It reads 'winner'. Like what the hell, the match just ended before it even started. Audience and teachers stared at the scene dumbfounded as they watched Midnight helping Izumi to one of the stretchers the medical bots carrying. What happened now wasn't what they expected to see. Izumi Midoriya was standing before Present Mic gives the start signal. However with few minutes she was silent and was looking paler and then out of nowhere a purple dome like thing rounded her and she started to scream in pain. In the end Midight has to step in both to stop the 'match' and also knock out Izumi.

Watching the scene unfolds before his eyes and sighed. He..before his death something similar to this happened to his twin sister. In front of him, just like now, but that time Izuku was panicking and crying because she was in pain. She's fool to just let her emotions go uncontrolled. Izuku knew what's going on with her and has the perfect explanation for what happened to her.

Izuku stood up and for the fifth time, he left the balcony and towards one place that's his new destination. Hands in pocket he walked through the corridors of the arena and this time using a more public path than 'students only' ones. Can't risk running into someone he don't wanna see. However things always don't go that easily in life. He ran across a junction and first saw the broad shoulders of the flaming hero, Endeavor, who has his back to Izuku.

"...I know at some point, you'll see the true capability of the powers you're gifted with, Shoto. You'll come to line." Endeavor' voice boomed and that's when Izuku realized that Shoto Todoroki, his son, was with him as well.

"You're wrong, old man. You got it wrong. Because I only consider my right side is as myself. My left side is curse to me. To stumble into your line, you must have to break me first. But I have my motives that won't let me stumble on my way. I'll use my ice and master my right side and you better watch out. I'll be someone that you never in million year can be." Shoto' calm tone said with a slight hint of anger. "I'll become someone who's not a monster." He added.

Endeavor was staring down his own son but before he could speak up, Shoto turned and walked away to his fight with Sero.

Izuku stood there staring at Endeavor. It seems like like the number two hero sensed his glare and turns around to look at Izuku. Endeavor could only see two intimidating glowing green eyes but remains calm. But deep down, Endeavor was really shocked. Because he was around strong and powerful foes and allies before, but neither of them has the aura this stranger possess. The strange part is that the guy is just standing there and his aura already different than even Allmight'. No. This stranger' aura is something out worldly that he never seen before. That alone fact was enough to let Endeavor guess the power this stranger is stored in him.

"Endeavor." Izuku said the man' name in a deathly low voice. Even though, Endeavor is one of his targets, this part of the arena is filled with life. Izuku doesn't want anyone interrupt his job and also he doesn't want to make the officials cancel the sports festival midway, because they discovered the number two hero' dead body.

After hearing Izuku call him that, Endeavor' spine received the chills, which he never experienced before. A tiny droplet of sweat rolled down his temple as he looks at izuku' green eyes. They are beautiful if you're a kind person, but a sinner could only see in those green orbs are their end. The finish line of their life.

Izuku moved forward and faced the number two hero. "I heard people are comparing you to the 'vigilante', if I'm not wrong. I wonder if your 'Hellflame' quirk is enough. But just to you know, I think you never saw the actual Hellflame even in your nightmares. And I also think you'll have a taste of the real hellflame in the near future. That day is so near." Izuku said darkly and walked away leaving Endeavor there who was pretty shaken up.

Within few minutes, Izuku got where he wants to be. The school infirmary. Not like he's there to see Izumi. He was just wandering around and when he got there, he wasn't the only one there. The person was outside the door of the room anxiously waiting for something. Or he should be saying, Someone. Izuku stood there and smiled seeing this brunette again. She looks good even in that PE uniform. Izuku thought and nodded at his own statement. Izuku didn't even realize when he started to being a pervert, but the funny thing is, Uraraka is the only one has that kind effect on him. She's so told others that she wanted to become a hero because she wants money. But her intentions weren't bad at all. Help your parents struggling with financial issues with your hard earned money and you won't take single coin out of it until your parents are okay with it. That's how Uraraka thought of her dreams.

izuku moved closer to her and let his hood fall and cleared his throat. Uraraka stiffened and looks up at him with wide eyes and he didn't miss her not so obvious red tint appeared on her cheek. "Hey." Izuku waves and she gulped.

"He..hey." She stutters and blushed again in embarrassment, afraid he'll have the 'wrong' idea of her behavior and figure out her naughty little secrets.

"What's up? Are you alright? Why are you outside the Infirmary?" He asked knowing why.

Uraraka blinks twice with the question. Why is she there? Standing and staring at nothing and looking lost. "Oh..Um, well you know, the Izumi Midoriya you saw at the field, is my friend. I was told to wait outside so Recovery girl aid her." Uraraka said in a gloomy voice. The sorrow in her voice was clear as day. But Izuku on the other hand knew there's more to it than it looks outside. Uraraka was sad, because Izumi...unfortunately couldn't keep her promise. Izumi told her that she'll be on the top. Reality is..after all is harsh and that's why Uraraka learned the lesson, to not keep the expectations high. But Izumi was a capable individual who can conquer anything if wished, and considering that, Uraraka speculated there' more than what she saw happened to Izumi.

Izuku looks at her and smiled. "That's so nice of you. This Izumi girl sure is lucky to have a kind friend like you." Izuku praised the already tomato like girl who gained more red color as Deku compliments her. Hearing this handsome boy telling her such things as he looks at her adoringly, was enough to make her heat up. She blushed even more as the heat increases down somewhere inappropriate place and was surprised as well to experience something that's so oddly foreign to her. Uraraka didn't want to be a creep who eyeing up beautiful man and have this uncontrollable emotions. So she looks down at the ground, and nodded smiling. Like always, izuku find it adorable. It's so strange though, that they only saw each other a couple of times and they both having this attraction beginning to build between them.

"I..don't know how to think of that. I know you mean it. But to be honest, a true friend should know what's going on with the friend you care. But I don't know what happened to Izumi. And that's why I doubt my bond with her." Uraraka mumbles without thinkin. But eventually she realized it. She did talked too much. But though, surprisingly she knew that it's not a bad thing.

"Psychic Overload." Izuku said, seeing Uraraka' self doubts and insecurities.

"What?" She blinked back confused.

"Psychic Overload. Since this friend of yours wields the power of the mental quirk, in short psychic, the power gets tangled if the mentality of the wielder is disturbed. I'm sure Izumi was a little bit uncomfortable or nervous out there. Psychic Overload is same as a regular anxiety attack. The difference is, the psychic overload will crush the wielder with their own mental struggles and I know you heard her scream. Izumi' heart may have gone through the said process and it always leaves the excruciating pain with the force of it thickens." Izuku explains and he knows all that because Izumi gone through it countless times.

Panic was written all over Uraraka' face. If Midnight did not intertwine, Izumi may have died. "Oh..my god." She whispers.

Izuku smiled and place his palm on her trembling shoulder and she stiffened for a sec. "Don't worry. I'm sure the god has listening to you. I'm sure Izumi Midoriya can and will surpass this." Izuku said. "Now, I'm sure you're being late for your match against Katsuki Bakugou. You should go now." Izuku reminded her.

Uraraka shook her head and turns around to look at the infirmary door. "But..I.." She stutters unsure if to leave Izumi' side.

"Hey" Izuku calls her and she looks at those fiery green eyes. "You have a promise to fulfill." He says leaving her all shocked.

"How...D.."

"How do I know? I think it's because I understand you. And whatever I understand about you, I love everything of it." Izuku says and give her a teasing wink, leaving her little puddle on the garden. Her heart did summersault and looks at him as he leaves.

How was it? Please comment me guys and tell me anything what you felt reading it. And thanks for the great support.
