The decision happened in a slipt second, it seemed almost...innate. From the crowds perspective and the students, for you...you weren't sure really except something snapped inside, went black, and felt your body move on its own involuntary. As if someone or something else took control suddenly, the moment Jun utter those harmful words. Something inside just...just burst you suddenly, covered in a blaze of luminous energy like fire, jumped and put yourself before Jun and the attack. Surprising him for that moment, draw your left palm back coated in the same blazing energy, drive it forward with such force into his abdoman, he spit up saliva and air from the force. Shot back from the sheer force back to the floor, skipping like a rock across a lake slide nearly to the boundaries. Curled inward from the surging pain emitting from the strike for a moment. Managed to lift his eyes to you hoovering before the class, staring back with glowing eyes and clenched fist either warning or sending a threat that you would not stand for his action.
A part of him wanted...oddly smirk yet this fear rushed through him to not even think about it. For a moment Jun found himself young again with you standing over him with the same darkened look on, hard cold glowing eyes sharply staring down. Daring him to make a single move, watching him carefully to see if he'd make a move. Even the simplest twitch or blink would provoke you to react, and just like always...back then he remained beneath you frozen and defeated. Sinking away, submitting victory to you. The feel covered him now again...after all this time...he didn't think that...he had grown stronger and here...you managed to still...but just earlier he had you on the run. Beating you up, showing off his skills that took years for him to achive that you had years ago. You were suppose to be soft...weak!
Not...not this!
Damnit!
He wanted to slam his balled up fist down and scream, but held out, your eyes watching him with burning meticulous. He wasn't sure if they'd shot something out of them or not. It sure felt that way. Taking notice of his motionlessness Midnight rose her whip and began counting down. Each number stung Jun, he couldn't be out...not now. Not when he was so close...he couldn't lose like this, keeping his eyes locked with your eyes kept them unreadable as he could. The slightest change or tinge of expression would surely cause you to attack. He had to be careful thinking of what to do next, with the searing pain taking most of his attention it was hard. But, he had to try, shuffling through his mind...just what could he do? Against you like this?
….It was quite clear you would remain there and prevent any further attack he might try in that direction. His primary target was off limits he saw that, any sort of attempt would lead to a swift and most likely brutal defeat. Just imaging what how you use to do it, added old pain to his current one. He couldn't risk that...then again...if he did others would see there was another side of you than what they were seeing now. Also...his mother would be happy, she wanted him to show your worth.
Wasn't this good enough, he thought. Knowing the answer right away. It wasn't.
He shuffled through his mind quickly for another course of action...feeling his mother's piercing eyes demurring on him, he couldn't lay here forever. If he could just get up and...even just a mere few seconds avoid you and stable himself he'd be able to keep going. There was more he wanted to show...just who could he go after next? The countdown was nearly down, from the corner of his eyes Jun saw her whip lowering, his heart jumped for a moment. When the idea struck him like lightening, he knew what to do! Taking a quick moment inhaled sharply, pushed out the pain he had in one heavy breath. Pushed him self up, as expected you cut through the air like a knife at him ready with an attack, holding his mid section jumped and tumbled out the way just in time. Stumbling a bit. Watching you strike the empty spot expelling a blast, leaving the spot with a deep crack and small crater. Those in their seat gasped a bit, Izuku's eyes widen in disbelief at what he just saw. He had to blink a few times to make sure he saw what he did, he wasn't the only one. A few of the other students did the same, except for one.
"Yes!" They shouted from class 1-B with praise of redden cheeks. Pumping a fist in the air, cheering.
You paid their cheering no mind, just stood woodenly staring at the damaged spot for a moment. It was hard to make out what was going through you mind by the expressionless look on you. The only notion anyone had was by your energy flickering around you, still a blazed with dark golden vine markings appearing all over now. Slowly you turn in the direction of Jun, locking eyes like steel with him. He jerked a little, that went unnoticed by others, stood his ground. Holding back the rising pain, cast you a smug smirk. Spit out the bit of collected in mouth, wiping the rest away. Rose a hand, you fly at him swing a leg coated in energy at him leaving a trail behind you. It was so precise cutting air it seemed, luckily Jun dove and rolled under. Picking himself keeping a distance, winched a bit but remained standing. You missed again...no matter, hoovering a few inches off the ground straight shoot at him, for another attempt. Drawing your right fist back throw it forward shot out a blast of energy, to his surprise quickly crossed an arm in front of him producing half a dark silver energy shield that seemingly resembled an open rose with three petals, blocking and protecting him from the attack.
"Whoa," Shinsui set up, "that's new."
Indeed it was and for some reason it seem familiar, to you. For a moment you stopped your charged from this...familiarity feeling sweeping over you. At the shape of his shield...your eyes for a moment widen...that...that shape...why did you suddenly hear...familiar crying of a child. No, you blink for a moment and see before you in Jun's position, a little boy either five or six dressed in dark colored body suit. Crouched down grabbing his knees trembling with the same color silver hair or was is it green, with what seem like injuries crying and...this little girl who looked like you, wearing the same outfit as the boy, just a bit marked up, with arms crossed over each other set before her chest like a shield casting the same...shield as Jun just a golden color. A fierce yet cold look in her eyes, standing before the boy protectively against...someone or something. Whatever it was enough to put you in a mild state of shock, you didn't move, just remained hoovering where you were.
Jun wasn't sure what happened or what was going on, he kept his shield up watching you carefully, with his other hand gathered dark silver energy in it. For an attack.
"Did she break or something?" puzzled Mt. Lady, watching the screen with Kamui Wood and Deatharms, trying to wrap her mind around what just happened. "She's just...not moving or anything. What the heck is going on?"
"I can't tell, you can't just suddenly freeze like that," Deatharms berated, "a villain is likely to take you out. She'll easily get taken out, she was doing good a moment ago."
Mt. Lady agreed, "She's confusing really. Her quirk is interesting. But, she just seems undecided, a few minutes ago she was taking beatings, next thing she managed to hit him back and went in for the attack. Turning the table, I was cheering for her and now this. Also," she looked closer at Jun's shield, narrowing her eyes a bit, "that shield...it looks familiar. As though I've seen it. What do you think Kamui?"
The wooden hero remained silent, inventively focused on the match. Particularly on you, there was something...he could see it...Kirby saw something different where he stood and his heart plummet at the sight of Jun's shield. A chilling cold swept over him, that...symbol of all things, it was as he thought. That boy...Jun...clasping a hand over his heart Kirby shuttered a bit. The way you where looking at it, wishing his wife was here ease the haunted swelling flickering in your eyes and creasing on brows. Swallowing the tightness in his throat, a dreading feeling came over him he began shifting his eyes slowly to the left then the right. Where she here? He began to wondering feverishly, if she was...where could she be?
Doing his best to not make his scanning noticeable, in case they might be nearby, then again...he was sure that she weren't allowed in the picture anymore. She had no more contact with any of them. After all this time, he was sure of it. Even so that didn't ease or settle the looming feeling. Pushing back those feelings returns his focus back to the arena, Jun slams his energized hand on the ground, flicked a finger up, erupting a bed of trailing and sharp energy spikes from the ground. Kirby screamed for you to move, which you did just in the nic of time. Flying up and looping around those that suddenly sprung up to block you. Kicking off those you couldn't avoid, pushing back flipping over others fly back to Jun ready to deliver a blast. He saw, released more energy into the ground, gaining dark vine like markings similar to yours, erupting more spikes twice the size and thicker than the last ones. Gaining speed and accuracy, dodging was becoming difficult. Your aero maneuvering became strained. Yet, you remained ever so calm, devising and searching for an opening or way to counter, for a second. A spike thrusts up like a spear, at your core, ready to rip through.
"Oh shit! She's gonna get skewed!" Mineta shirked on the top of his lungs, eyes bulging, "It's like he's trying to kill her!"
A observation that didn't go unnoticed, Midnight slide her eyes quickly at Cementoss, understanding he gets ready just as she did raising her whip to stop the match.
Stop.
"She dodged it!" Kamanari exclaimed slapping a hand on the back of Leo, surprise, smiling wide. "Whoa! Dude!"
It was true you had managed to dodge, to some degree. If you hadn't flipped back mid air, the spike missed its intended target but still scored. Scathed you sharply on the side, leaving a rather deep wound. You fell out the air, crashing back to the floor.
A tired smile parted on Jun's lips, "Yes!"
His Iron Maiden Forest performed. He got you! Now, he just needed to finish it, but did he have enough? Dropping his eyes to hand still on the floor, it was trembling...he knew what that meant. He could feel it, the trickles of thick beaded sweat peppered his forehead. The color from his face was staring to fade no doubt, that last attack took a larger chunk than he initially thought. Still, he had enough for...something else and he knew exactly what to use it on, correction whom to use it on. Dropping his other arm to the side, canceling the shield looks over to you. You hadn't gotten up, but he saw fingers and limbs start to move. If he was going to do this, he needed to now. He still had a task to do.
Setting both arms before him, deeply inhales draws up the last bit he had surrounding himself in thick yet thin dark silver luminescent energy, a trademark similar to your own. The sight dropped a few mouths open. Focusing, Jun turning paler by the second his markings started turning ebony, something Izuku noticed.
Drawing the energy to his hands, Jun palms them together slowly pulling them apart with a spiked energy orb formed. Growing in size with the energy it was fed, struggling a bit with it. Managed to hold some degree of control, raises it overhead the orb twice its size, he finds his target...again. Hurls the orb like a baseball in the same and particular direction, collecting speed and momentum, a set of coated golden glowing hands rise crossing over each other. Slams down on the floor, sends energy traveling quickly across the floor in the same direction of the orb, burst out from the ground taking form before the students seemingly first as a large wall that constructed, transforming into an open golden energy rose with five petals of equal size. Expanding wide enough to cover both classes. Stopping and repealing the orb back.
"Whoa!" Mina gasp amazed staring at the shield like the rest of students and classmates, "it's so...so warm and...beautiful."
"It's huge!" A student from 1-B exclaimed.
Iida adjusted his glasses for a moment making sure he saw what was before him correctly. He blinked a few times, focusing on the form of the shield, the same with a few others.
"It couldn't be..."Iida mutters quietly to himself, drops his eyes to you, quickly shifts them to April hearing a small gasp leave her. Her eyes, he saw holding a glittering wide a bit with mixture of worry and fear strain in them, wrinkling her brows together. It was clear the effect it was having on her.
If he would lowered his eyes he would have seen her hands trembling despite Urakara's steadfast comforting hold, Izuku saw. There was doubt in his mind he knew she felt hopeless unable to go and give assistance to you, the small twitch her body gave to react was evident. But, she had to stay back. That had to be it or it was something else, because he knew it was with him. Turning back to the arena looking pass the shield directly at you, now standing, his eyes widen in shock. He jerks slightly in his seat at what he saw with you. He had to blink a few times to make sure, each time blink switched between your usual bright face to a...face livid and darkened with anger, a complete contrast. He searched every part of your face and glowing eyes for some sort of sign of you, but he saw nothing...not even that smile you had once when USJ was attacked. It was just...complete different.
That wasn't the only thing, "That's new, I didn't know her hair could glow like that," observed Tsuyu.
"It is a uninspected development," added Toyoyami, keenly noticing something with you. Narrowed his eyes for a moment, addressed his question to Leo. "has she done this before?"
"She looks pissed," Jiro said before Leo answered.
Leo was silent for a moment before answering, "...I'm not..really sure. Her eyes glow but...not like this."
"Whoa!" Mina points taking notice, "she's turning...paler like that boy! Looks like she can barely stand too."
It was true, with her observation with everyone's. From your hair now envelop and taking the texture of wisp like energy, to your paler complexion, heavy dark circles under your eyes that where barely stayed half way and labored breathing. Even your markings turned ebony, the lower half of you quivered. The strain was showing on you, unsure how much longer you could go, you'd keep the shield up and by any means necessary finish Jun.
A feeling that shot ice through Jun, he slowly began backing up little by little. With each calm step you took, your eyes never left him. If that didn't fill his eyes with terror, your voice devoid of any emotions did.
"Don't touch what's precious!"
Energy collects in the palms of your hands, Jun continued stepping back all the way to the shield, found himself corner. That wasn't good, being cornered. Damnit, he did the same thing again. Feeling on the shield while trying to muster up some energy he might have, you charge drawing back your right elbow in a 45 degree angle envelope your palm with remaining energy. Lock and plant your feet, right foot pointed forward, left anchored and pointed 45 degrees, stop about three feet from Jun. Pivot your torso, pummel your palm forward-
"May! Enough!" shouted Splinter, shooting up his seat. "Enough!"
He wasn't the only voice shouting, there others, but that wasn't stopped your onslaught a mere inch from Jun. Who trembled pressed up against the shield that slowly began dissolving away, opened one of his shut eyes at you. Finding you standing there with your lips trembling pressed together, staring back with eyes filled and twisted with anguish and guilt. It seemed as thought you might...he saw this small flicker in your eyes for a moment recognition. Because your hand slowly lowered back to the side and you took a few steps back meekly.
Muttering apologizes incoherently, now in a trembling voice, he heard it. The sudden swift was baffling, weakly you kept stepping back, everything you that was...suppressed came back ten fold. Ever step sent a ripple of pain through you, you held yourself to keep from falling. But, it did little effort, the last ripple toppled you forward towards Jun. He froze for a second stepping back, freeze from your hand on his shoulder. A small weakly glow emitted from your hand that lightly pushed him forward, taking up the last of your strength. Stumble, drop down, collapsing out the arena over the side.
To the ground, everything felt so heavy...everything felt empty yet on fire... everything...
"May!"
You hear what sounded like a muffled voice shouting at you, it echoed for a mere moment in your mind. Fading out as the darkness swallowed you up, with your vision hazed and disoriented you couldn't make out much..not even the world not side ways only..the color green staring at you from their seats. You couldn't even feel, the pain surging through you became numb. Everything was numb.
You didn't care, the last of your thoughts and strength looked at the green dot standing, slowly you try to reach for them...wondering if...
From where he stood Endeavour watched you being taken away to Recovery Girl, his eyes follow you until you disappeared into the hall.
"So, is the transaction to your caliber?" she asked standing next to him, watching you as well. With a finger pushed up their glasses, "Of course she didn't win. A pity really, I was hoping they would. Either way, she showcased herself, wouldn't you say?"
The hero grunted. A pleasing smirk softly appeared on her lips. Delightedly. Held out a hand to the man.
He looks at it, back to the hall, then to his son, and finally to the woman next to him. "She should have won. That's what I expected."
Her heart dropped. Quickly she thinks up something. "Yes, I know. But, that doesn't mean she can't exhibit more feats later on. You clearly said you wanted to see her worth. What she can do. Her power. Yes, it's been withheld but even the amount shown you can see she has more to give and once I have her, those restriction will be no more. You will not be disappointed, I ensured you this years ago and now you have it. It didn't work with out first ones, but now we have what we wanted. Two prize horses, that will produce offsprings worthy of the names Tudor and Todoroki. Two strong houses united, what better way to start a new dynasty."
"...Alright," he accepted, sealing the transaction shaking hands, her eyes lite up gloriously, "Mary, the transaction is done."
"Lovely. Lovely, now I believe it's time for a mother and daughter reunion."
