A/N: I'm quaking in my boots because I meant to mention it sooner, and, well, DIDN'T-

So, back when I first created Hitomi, I busted my butt looking for a voice that would fit her, and found both a Japanese VA and English VA that I think would fit her well if she was part of the canon.

If you were looking for a good voice that would represent her while you read, these would be her voices -
JP: Saori Hayami (Yuzuki Shiraishi from A Place Further Than the Universe)
EN: Kira Buckland (Umi Sonoda from Love Live)

(Personally, I would watch her subbed instead of dubbed, but that's just because I prefer subs in general, so...)

The three students continued through the cityscape, a large sign with Principal Nezu's face coming into view.

"Almost there…" Midoriya said as he was carrying Hitomi in his arms. "Almost at the escape gate! It seems cuter than it needs to be, but as long as one of us gets through, then we pass!"

Hitomi was keeping an eye over Midoriya's shoulder, trying to ensure her force field stayed up. Bakugou only stayed silent.

"It doesn't look like All Might's chasing us," Hitomi said.

"Don't tell me we knocked him out…?" Midoriya asked.

Bakugou scoffed. "Bastard, didn't you keep saying there was no way we'd beat him, you idiot?! There's no way he was knocked out by that! The next time he catches up, it'll be my turn to blow him away with my gauntlet!"

"Yes, yes," a new voice said. "And then?"

All Might suddenly appeared, effortlessly destroying Bakugou's gauntlet before he could do anything.

"What're you surprised about?" the hero asked as he swung at Midoriya, simultaneously destroying the gauntlet and knocking Hitomi out of his arms.

She fell to the ground harshly, letting go of the hold she had on the barrier they'd left behind.

I didn't feel any impact on it or anything… shit. I must not have made it high enough in time.

Hitomi tried to get up from her place on the ground as All Might easily took down her teammates, obscuring them from view in a large dust cloud.

She fell back to the ground, feeling a shooting pain in her shoulder.

I must've sprained it.

"That's wonderful, boys!" she heard All Might say. "You cooperated—however reluctantly—and faced me!

However, you two—that was a prerequisite for this exam!"

The dust finally cleared, revealing All Might had the two boys completely immobilized. Bakugou was pushed down on the ground by All Might's foot, while Midoriya was dangling in the air from All Might holding his arm.

I need to save them, idiot!

Getting up from the ground, she threw a force field at the hero with her good arm.

"Don't forget I'm still here, All Might!"

"Oh, you're still kicking?"

All Might glanced down at Midoriya struggling to break from his hold, saying, "What kind of face is that, Young Midoriya?"

Don't ignore me!

He suddenly threw the boy, directly at Hitomi and sending the two crashing into a nearby railing, enhancing the pain in the girl's shoulder. She also felt her ankle twist in an odd way, sending pain shooting through her leg and causing her to scream.

Shit!

"Getting away from me with your maximum firepower, barricading me in the city, and then getting through the escape gate.

That appears to have been you kids' answer, but now that I've destroyed Young Bakugou's gauntlets, you've lost that maximum firepower.

It's over."

Bakugou clicked his tongue before suddenly yelling.

"SHUT UP!"

Sparks crackled from his palms, before he suddenly let off a huge explosion at the No. 1 Hero.

"The blast from the sports festival…" Hitomi said as they were covered in a large cloud of smoke.

Bakugou suddenly grabbed Midoriya's collar in all the chaos. "I'm gonna send you flying! I don't like it, but with what we've got right now, this is the only way to win!"

"Hey, wait! Don't tell me-" Midoriya cried out.

"DIE!"

Bakugou threw Midoriya as he set off an explosion, launching him through the air towards the escape gate.

Bakugou winced as his arm twitched, before he turned to Hitomi.

"Kanetsukabe! Get off your ass and get on my back! We're gonna keep that fucking bastard All Might distracted!"

"Uh, right!"

After clambering onto Bakugou's back, the boy ran after Midoriya as they heard All Might's voice.

"New Hampshire Smash!"

The smoke cloud cleared as All Might sent himself flying through the air, directly into Midoriya's back.

Hitomi could hear him scream in pain.

"Damn it!" Bakugou said as he launched he and Hitomi into the air with an explosion.

Midoriya was sent flying into a nearby bus, ricocheting off the vehicle into the ground.

"Midoriya!" Hitomi yelled.

Bakugou continued to fly through the air with his explosions, bringing the two of them closer to All Might.

"When I get close," he told Hitomi, "you're getting off and barricading me and All Might from you and Deku. Make sure that bastard gets to the escape gate, you hear me?!"

"I will!"

Bakugou aimed his arms at All Might, about to use his quirk.

"I was so stupid…" he said to All Might. "There's no way I could beat you without taking any risks!"

Bakugou screamed as he set off another huge explosion.

Hitomi let go of him, letting herself fall to the ground as she made a force field around herself. She dropped it as she finally hit the ground, landing near Midoriya.

She got into position, wincing as she felt her ankle ache. Placing her hands on the gravel, her pupils glowed as she activated her quirk.

"We're doing this for you. Make sure you get to the escape gate, Midoriya!"

Drawing in massive amounts of plasma, another huge wall began to form. Hitomi winced as she felt her palms begin to burn, but kept drawing in more heat to make the wall taller as quickly as possible.

It needs to be taller than the buildings this time…!

"GO, DEKU!" they heard Bakugou yell. "HURRY!"

Midoriya tried to get up, struggling as he felt searing hot pain in his back.

"I can still move more than you," Bakugou continued to yell, "with your cobbled together power!

Make yourself useful, damn scum!"

Hitomi concentrated on bringing her wall up in height as Bakugou continued to fight off All Might, the boy setting off another large explosion.

"Midoriya, please!" Hitomi cried out, heat beginning to burn in her lower arms. "I don't have the same amount of power you and Bakugou have, and I can't even walk right now. I wouldn't make it in time. It has to be you!"

"Kanetsukabe-san…" Midoriya glanced at her before they heard a large crash on the other side of the barrier.

All Might had thrown Bakugou into a building, and was walking through the smoke and dust before finally stopping in front of Hitomi from across the wall.

Hitomi started to scoot back as she and Midoriya could only stare in fear.

All Might knocked on the force field, glancing up to see it had extended past the height of the buildings.

"Amazing, Young Kanetsukabe!" All Might exclaimed. "That's the largest I've ever seen you make so far!"

Hitomi's eyes narrowed as she stopped by Midoriya, the two helping each other up.

"Your force fields have always been formidable," All Might continued, "but like Aizawa said…"

He suddenly reeled his fist back, punching the force field with 100% of his power. The barrier shattered, throwing Hitomi and Midoriya back into the ground from the wind force.

"...you rely on that fact far too much."

"No way…" Hitomi said from her place on the ground, feeling like the wind was knocked out of her lungs. "He broke it…"

All Might suddenly appeared in front of the girl, picking her up by the arm.

Hitomi cried out in pain, All Might having used the arm with the sprained shoulder.

"You really are quite troublesome."

He threw her across the ground, away from the gate. Hitomi felt herself getting dizzy, in too much pain to get back up.

Shit! Shit, shit, shit, SHIT!

"DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME, YOU BASTARD!"

Bakugou emerged from the building he was launched into, nearing All Might and setting off another explosion.

"FUCKING DEKU!" Bakugou shouted. "GET TO THE DAMN GATE ALREADY!"

Midoriya activated his quirk, making his way to the gate before All Might came after him from the smoke.

Bakugou appeared in front of the hero, yelling as he used another explosion. All Might finally dodged it that time, grabbing Bakugou by the head and slamming him into the ground.

"Go to sleep, Young Bakugou," Hitomi heard All Might say.

Hitomi tried to move, her body numb.

I can't…

I can't save him.

She heard Bakugou's voice, but couldn't hear what he was saying.

The sounds of Midoriya's quirk activating were heard nearby, causing All Might to turn around.

"Whoops, I won't let you-!"

Hitomi and All Might saw Midoriya making his way towards the hero, a determined smile on his face.

"Please move, All Might!"

He punched the man in the jaw, yelling out.

"SMASH!"

As the freckled boy picked Bakugou up, Hitomi weakly raised her arm, activating her quirk.

She formed a barrier between the boys and All Might as the hero tried to right himself.

"Go, Midoriya."

Midoriya nodded at her before turning around, making his way to the gate with Bakugou.

All Might sprang up, ready to jump back into action. "I won't-"

"Not so fast, All Might," the girl behind him interrupted.

The wall suddenly moved back, slamming into the No. 1 Hero.

All Might faltered, falling to the ground and coughing into his hand.

"Jeez, you all could've passed if he'd just gone through the gate by himself," she heard him say.

Hitomi didn't miss the way steam seemed to rise from his body as the hero coughed blood into his hand.

"He hit me with everything he had, huh?"

Hitomi kept the wall up as Midoriya continued to run towards the gate.

She finally let it drop when she heard the announcement, allowing herself to fall into unconsciousness.

"Team Midoriya, Bakugou, and Kanetsukabe have passed."

A/N: When you add a factor that should change the game yet the outcome stays the same-

Oof, I kinda struggled writing the final exams. When I'm referencing direct scenes from the anime, my need to be accurate messes with how I want Hitomi to be implemented in the story, hence the fast/odd pace. Hopefully this arc was satisfying, though!

If you're wondering to yourself "Why didn't Hitomi just run to the gate?" well, uh- My excuse is she hurt her leg and couldn't walk, even though both of the boys suffered worse injuries than her...
