Chapter 27: Third event Fight it Out!! Ochako rising!
IN OUR FIRST MATCH, WE HAVE NEITO MONOMA THE GUY WHO CAN STILL YOUR SHTICK WITH A TOUCH!!"
Monoma walked to the stadium with a smug look on his face."Time to show class B is superior."
"AND THE KID LET'S BE HONEST WERE ALL ITCHING TO WATCH!! HE'S SLIMY FREAKY, FAST, AND STRONG! IZUKU MIDORIYA!!!!!!!!"
The crowd exploded and roared in excitement as the boy in question walked into the battle, a fierce, determined look on his face.
"It's hero time!" He said a fierce determination on his face.
"Begin!" Midnight exclaimed with a crack of her whip.
Izuku was about to activate the Omnitrix when his Danger sense went off he activated One For All as a sudden fire blast tore through the air, Midoriya surprised by the sudden attack got he's shoulder burned before he stopped to a halt skitting to the ground.
He looked at Monoma, who had his ablaze in flames with a psychotic grin. The flames were so hot that Midoriya could feel the heat from where he stood a few feet away from Monoma
Izuku squinted his eyes before widening. "Th-Those flames a-are..."
He blasted another torrent of fire. Izuku acting quickly spun in the air and dodged the flames, clutching his burned shoulder.
"WHOA?! MONOMA ARE THOSE FLAMES?! AND POWERFUL TOO? THE ONLY PERSON I CAN THINK OF WITH THAT KIND OF POWER IS ENDEAVOR!! HOW THE HECK DID YOU EVEN GET IT!?"
...
Back in the seats, Shoto gripped his seat in anger, he knew very well whose quirk Monoma had copied, he lived with the man for his entire life and he first hand has experienced the heat of those flames. There was no doubt in his mind when he saw that stream of fire.
"C'mon Dekiru!" Whispered Ochako, as she saw him narrowly dodge another stream of fire.
"That doesn't seem good." Noted Ojiro.
"The fates do not seem to align with Midoriya. He's already suffered an injury," commented Fumikage.
"We shouldn't underestimate our classmate, Midoriya always pulls through," Momo said.
Yuga had been silent for a bit before turning to Ojiro. "Wasn't he's quirk some sort of mind control? I mean, that's how he got us into a team."
"No, Monoma's quirk is copy. I don't know much about it, though." Ojiro said with a shrug.
"Itsuka probably knows more about his quirk. They are classmates, and she always knocking him out." Uraraka suggested before the girl in question spoke up.
"Only because is always being an asshole!" Kendo commented as Izuku jumped over another stream of flames that crashed into a wall. They winced from the heat as it left a massive scorch mark.
"I can tell you what it is." Said Setsuna, her floating head over the divider.
"He can copy a few quirks, the some he can't, but so far, Midoriya is the one he can't copy. Not only that, but he can copy quirks up to five minutes after copying it, but he can store up to three in his repertoire." Setsuna said to which Bakugou snorted.
"No wonder that blonde ass didn't copy Deku's quirk," Bakugou said
"It's not manly," Kirishima said
"Wait, how come Midoriya hasn't transformed?" Sero asked Izuku, dodging another flame attack.
"He's trying to figure out if he has any other quirks before transforming, he doesn't want to pick a poor form, and Monoma may have a trick up his sleeve like in the Capture the Flag," Momo said, watching as the boy backflipped over another torrent of flames.
"Midoriya is probably not aware of Monoma's time limit, Midoriya could fight as long as he needs to, but Monoma has to end this fight as quickly as possible," Kendo interjected.
"Okay, so that explains why he hasn't transformed, but who did Monoma copy?" Pony asked in curiosity
"He took Endeavors." Growled Shoto, causing everyone to fall silent." He's using my father's quirk to bulldoze through this."
"I won't forgive if you lose." Thought Todoroki as ice began to creep up his chair, "I will be the one to defeat you and deny my father."
...
"Heh, looks like your golden goose isn't doing so well," smirked Mt. Lady while they were on patrol duty, he had scolded the woman to not be distracted, but this time, he was the one focused on the television set.
"Well, that quirk looks a lot similar to Endeavor. I hate to break it, too, but the kid isn't beating Endeavors' quirk. Is he even panicking." Mt. Lady said with a chuckle. "I can feel my pockets getting heavier,"
"No." Death Arms said as he blew a puff of smoke. Mt. Lady gave a deadpanned expression and raised an eyebrow."Huh?"
"Look at his face." Pointed out Death Arms. "That's not the face of someone who's panicking. He's gauging his strength. He's thinking."
...
Monoma breathing heavily and sweating, pit stains appeared on his P.E. uniform, "Time to use Shinso's quirk. I'm running out of time. Everybody thinks it's touched based, which is good for both of us."
"Midoriya, honestly, I have something I have always wanted to say about your class," Monoma said to which the boy himself, he's watched Midoriya and he knew one thing when it comes to his classmates he will defend them no matter what.
"I mean, everyone in your class is an over-arrogant asshole, and then there's complete attention hogging of Bakugou always screaming at the top of the lungs. I mean, I don't know where to begin with, the dumbass Kaminari. I mean, does he even have brain cells?"
Izuku widened before his face contorted into anger.
"Then there's Yaoyorozu, I mean, besides her intelligence, she has no real redeeming qualities. Then the invisible girl? How the heck -"
"DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT MY--"
Monoma smirked, "I wi--"
He suddenly felt a fist collide with his fist as Midoriya's face green eyes with a glare."--FRIENDS!!"
He stood One For All crackling around him. "What happened? Everything was like a fog..."
Izuku remembered a few seconds replaying it back in his mind.
Izuku for a moment the world went into a haze before a stabbing pain broke him out he shook his head before he ran up towards Monoma and sent a right hook causing him to tumble backwards as he sent another flame wave.
The flames caught on his shirt and were quickly spreading, Izuku acting quickly ripped off his shirt and threw it to the side and stomping it putting out the flames as the stadium had a clear view of a shirtless Izuku Midoriya. The girls of class 1-A and a few in 1-B face warmed up.
Monoma rubbed the cheek where he had been punched."What the hell? I could've sworn I used his quirk!..."
Midoriya, seeing Monoma, was preoccupied and took this chance to activate the Omnitrix and begin spinning the dial. Shinso looked down in disbelief as he and Monoma shared the same thought.
"How the hell did break through my quirk!?"
Izuku proceeded to slam down as a green blinding flash blinded Monoma, he suddenly felt a punch to the face sending him rolling back, and then another fist collided with his stomach before kicking him in the face before suddenly appearing behind him
Everyone looked in shock as they lost sight of the boy, as he became a blue blur blitzing through the arena unable to catch him with their eyes as Monoma was relentlessly sent blow after blow to his body unable to catch him.
"AND MIDORIYA REVEALS HIS RESIDENTIAL SPEEDSTER FORM FASTTRACK!! HIS SPEED IS CRAZY I BARELY CAN CATCH HIM WITH MY EYE!"
"They said this kid was fast, but damn."
"He's even faster than me." Hawks said as he tried to keep up with the boy by sight.
"Someone sounds jealous," Miruko commented to which the pro chuckled.
"Okay, the kids fast, but in the sky is where I rule," Hawks said with a thumb to his chest.
Miruko snorted."Sure, whatever, bird boy."
...
Fasttrack was about to send another punch before he felt that he hit something hard, he looked to see Monoma's skin was rock hard like Kirishima's before he blasted a wave of fire the alien blitzed back to the other side of the arena.
...
"Holy shit!? I knew he was fast but not that fast!" Tsubaraba said in surprise.
Class B except Kendo looked shocked to see the speed Midoriya was displaying as he dodged another flaming blast before seemingly appearing behind Monoma who hardned as he sent a drop kick causing him to crash to the ground cracking the pavement before he blasted another fire blast.
"Such speed," Ibara said entranced by the boy.
"I just hope he's not always that fast," Setsuna said, which made their girls blush in embarrassment.
"Midoriya always works hard and as fast as possible in every aspect from school work to training," Iida said with a chopping motion.
"You heard that--"
"Say anything. I'm knocking you out." Kendo said as Setsuna chuckled before relenting her hands in the surrender position,
...
Monoma didn't stop his attack as he blasted flames even hotter, Fasttrack dodged the attack and he tried to get in close before the blonde boy launched another flame attack making the alien move back as the flames were wide range heating up the battlefield.
"Dammit, this arena's too small, and those fire blasts aren't helping, plus Fasttrack isn't their best in stopping. If I go too fast, my sudden stop could cause me a ring out." Fasttrack thought frustrated.
Fasttrack then dodged another blast of flames before realizing the flame's heat had lost some intensity. He then looked at Monoma he was sweating and breathing heavily, and his movements were getting sloppy he noticed that some of his forearm was burned a little,
He squinted his eye before an idea began to form." I suggest you surrender, or I'll have to burn you." Monoma said, pushing his up a bit. Before the flames roared to life, their previously orange flames turned blue, Fasttrack had to cover his eyes as the stadium could feel the heat cranking up.
...
"This boy..." Endeavour growled. "He's being reckless."
...
"Oh no, Dekiru," Uraraka said worriedly.
"T-The heat is rising d-do think Midoriya will be okay?" Hagakure asked as she could feel the heat coming from Monoma.
" I have no doubt Midoriya will be okay," Momo said while clutching her chest.
...
Fasttrack then gestured to Monoma with a thumb. "C'mon, let's see if you're not just talking! Bring the heat! I'm honestly not feeling it. Honestly, I'm getting cold!"
Monoma lowered the firewall in confusion before scowling and realizing Midoriya had a plan of some sort.
"Hmph. I'm not sure if the heat has gotten to your brain or if you're desperate, but I'm done playing around. Don't blame this!" Shouted Monoma he had probably a minute and thirty seconds left on the clock.
Monoma cocked his fist back and collected and concentrated flames in his right hand, as Fasttrack took runners position, One For All exploded with blue electricity crackled around him sparking around him, his green crackling as the ground a little when he activated 10% One For All.
Monoma fired off a bastardized Flash-Fire jet burn, the heat melted the cement as it travelled across the air towards Fasttrack, and everyone feeling the heat grew concern for the boy as he made no moves to dodge the attack.
"Oh no, Dekiru/ Midoriya!!" Shrieked out Ochako, Tsuyu, and Momo in fear, as the flames rose in size and heat.
"Midoriya!!" Tenya and Denki shouted.
"Holy shit isn't that going too far?!" Cried out, Mineta.
"C'mon Green," Kyouka shouted in her mind.
"Somebody stop him!" said Pony, as she reverted back to English, so only a few people understood.
Kendo could only clutch her fist as it shook.
...
Fasttrack inhaled feeling the coming heat, before he's eyes shot open and like a bullet escaping the barrel of a gun he ran forward straight towards the flames, everyone widened in shock as the boy ran into the flames lighting crackling behind him.
Fasttrack spun out the flames following behind before he ran around Monoma. The flames spun around Monoma, creating a blue and orange flaming tornado. He spun running around Monoma trapped in the flames and began to breathe heavily.
...
"Wait, what is Midori doing?" Ashido asked, to which Todoroki only widened in realization.
"He's overheating him, trapping him in his own flames," Shoto said, shocked.
"W-Wait, but that's Endeavor's quirk? Isn't it basically trying to overheat a campfire or an oven?" Sero asked.
"Yeah, it doesn't seem really smart," Kirishima said
"Idiots! Quirks have limits, even Endeavor he can't just spam his attack without some backlash." Bakugou said, cupping his face, looking at the flaming tornado Monoma was trapped in."We all have our limits."
"And Midoriya just found his," Momo said.
...
Monoma unable to take the tense heat fell to one knee he shot a blast but it only added to the flames, Fasttrack so Monoma was at his limit and he stopped skidding to stop dragging his feet leaving skit marks.
The flames Monoma was previously surrounded by began to die out and sputter, as all that was left was a little flame on the ground, the melted cement that quickly began to dry up and Monoma was exhausted sweaty and tired.
Fasttrack then suddenly appeared in front of Monoma, who had widened eyes., as Fasttrack had his fist cocked back and aimed at his lower region. "Man crusher." That's all Monoma heard before the fist connect in between Monoma's legs.
Monoma fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth clutching his manhood in pain, tears trickled down his face.
The stadium was silent, Present Mic's glasses fell off in shock and dropped to the ground like everyone else. The girls gasped in shock. Aizawa's eyes widen as he blinked a few times.
Some men could only wince in pain. They themselves weren't hit but could sympathize as they looked away in silence.
"A hit to the scrotum is unforgivable. Even if it is Monoma!" Iida said, crossing his arms as he looked away, unable to look at the fallen Monoma.
Kendo however chuckled wiping a tear.
All the other boys instinctively placed their hands on their precious area and shivered.
...
Midnight shivered in fear as she shakingly raised her whip.
"M-Monoma is... more than immobile! Midoriya wins!!"
"Hell yeah! That was epic!" Cheered Setsuna.
"But the way it ended was so unflashy," Aoyma said.
"It was super manly! Except for the last part!" Tetsutetsu agreed.
"Didn't think Midoriya would pull a win like that," Sato said.
Bakugou made an."Hmph." Before he stood up and began to leave.
"Wait, where are you going?" Kirishima asked.
"My match is next stupid hair! It's not like they are going to let Deku fight again!!" Bakugou shouted Uraraka herself flinched in fear, realizing her match was next.
Tsuyu placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Ochako, we will be routing for you."
"Y-Yeah, you got this," Jirou said nervously, knowing how violent the blonde was she was a little worried.
"Plus, you can wait a little bit they still need to repair their stadium."
Fasttrack breathed heavily as the crowd cheered even though it ended in such a way, the audience couldn't help but roar in excitement, the boy touched his dial on the dial turning back to Izuku still shirtless, his muscles shown to everyone.
Mina's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, but not even from the battle, she was staring at something else that had caught her attention.
"D-Did Midori always have those muscles?"
A few people's eyes blinked as they glanced down at Izuku shirtless.
"Huh? Yeah, we've seen them all the time in the locker room.." Kirishima said.
"He... is more built-up than I thought," Tsu said with a hidden pink blush.
"Purge sinful thoughts, purge sinful thoughts, purge sinful thoughts..."Ibara repeated to herself in a praying position.
"Wow... Midoriya's... wow." Setsuna said, stunned her face red.
Then they heard a click as they turned to Kodai, who had her phone out and took a picture, as she took three more.
"K-Kodai!" Kendo exclaimed."You can't just do that!" She said, blushing profusely.
"I'll send you some." She said to which Kendo opened her mouth to protest before sitting back down in shame.
Momo tried her best to look away, especially while blushing, but failed and looked anyway.
Kyoka covered herself with her hands opening a bit to see the few.
"Kodai, send me some if you don't mind!" Hagakure shouted to which the girl gave a thumbs up.
...
Naomi herself widened in shock. She knew hero course students were built, but Midoriya's body from her memory was skinny and wimpy, but now he looked like an Olympic athlete
A small blush appeared on her face.
"Midoriya's... uh... wow." A girl said her face, feeling hot as she made a motion of fanning herself.
"Y-Yeah..."Another girl said as she stuttered as she was blushing.
"That's... I-I guess that's why the girls seem to like him." Another girl said in jealous, regret as she remembered the comment about how no one would have wanted to date him.
...
"Wait, but Yaomomo, haven't you felt him up?" Kaminari asked before all the girls turned to Yaoyorozu with a murderous aura.
"Oh, she did, huh?" Ashido asked, staring at the black-haired beauty.
The girl feeling the gaze made an"Eep." Before gulping.
Jirou punched Kaminari in the shoulder."We told you to keep it to yourself!"
Toru turned to her."Oh, and you knew?"
Kyouka gulped as she tried to make herself small."I'm in danger."
Uraraka decided to keep quiet. Before she stood up, she glanced at the shirtless Izuku and blushed before going to the waiting room while everyone was distracted, leaving her drink there.
...
Mt. Lady stood gawking at the jumbotron, unable to believe that Izuku made it through.
"See, told ya," grinned Death Arms while Kamui cawed in delight.
"To think you're betting against the only guy who can hook you up with Four Arms," Kamui said mockingly.
"Whatever!" Blushed Mt. Lady, "He still has more fights to get through! It's not over yet. Plus, when he does lose, I'll come in and make him feel better with an autograph and my charming good looks." She winked at the two who deadpanned.
"And no way a kid with a copy quirk could truly use Endeavor's quirk to the fullest no one can beat the original."Mt. Lady said.
"True, but the fact that he beat him is still a feat." Reminded Kamui. "Looks like I'll be hitting the jackpot soon."
Mt. Lady huffed away
...
"Geez, the sports festival is getting so much more violent each year." Grumbled Recovery Girl as Toshinori sat with them.
"You only had a few burns, but besides that, you're fine." She said, checking up on the boy.
"T-Thank you," Izuku said.
"So this new quirk appeared this morning, correct young Midoriya?" Toshinori asked.
"Yeah, it was like a dream. I don't remember much, but if I activated this quirk, do you think I'm going to activate the other users?" Izuku asked.
All Might put a hand to his chin and cupped it."Possibly, we will have to look into this. I look up the other users' quirks. This time, it was subtle, but if you had activated my master's quirk, you floating would have raised questions."
"Y-Yeah, so that's seven quirks I'll be obtaining," Izuku said nervously.
"Six." Toshinori corrected.
To which Midoriya gave a confused look.
"With the one that is already active that's 5 quirks you will be getting," Toshinori said, to which the boy gave a confused expression.
"Uh, All Might but weren't they 8 users before me, the first one is out already which means I'll get the second, third fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and your quirk right?"
"Uh, now I see the confusion. Yound Midoriya like you, I was quirkless."
The boy widened in surprise."Quirkless...?"
"Yeah, honestly, I see the old me in you," Toshinori said with a smile.
Izuku returned the smile.
"Now you should head back. Uraraka match will begin after they are done repairing the stadium. And I'm sure she will want your support." Toshinori said, giving the boy a wink and thumbs up. Izuku blushed before running away in embarrassment. "I-I-I don't know what you're talking about All Might!"
Izuku then stood up and left. He turned to see an unconscious Monoma still foaming at the mouth.
"Sorry, Monoma." He said apologetically.
The boy's eye just twitched as Midoriya left feeling guilty. On his way, he decided to take a detour where Uraraka waiting would be.
...
As he ran and turned a corner he soon caught Uraraka existing her waiting room, the girl was shaking and clearly nervous.
"Uraraka!" The familiar voice of Midoriya eased her as he sprinted and stopped breathing heavily.
"Dekiru. Congrats on winning." She said smiling at the boy, the smile was clearly trying to hide her anxiety.
"I-I know Bakugou can be scary b-but since you're always supporting me. I just wanted to say good luck! I-I know you can do this! You have shown so much faith in me, even though I don't think I'm all that great but you don't seem to ever doubt me, so I'm going to put my faith in you and I hope you know I'm going to beat you in the semi-finals!"
Uraraka's face turned red with a shaky thumbs up. "I'll see you in the semi f-finals Dekiru."
Izuku smiled before pulling out his notebook." Bakugou always starts off with a right hook, he's reflexes are insane getting a touch on him won't be easy -"
"Woah Dekiru, I don't need you -" Waving her arms rapidly
"I know you're going to say no, but you do so much for me. Giving a little advice on Kacchan will make me feel better,"
"I-I don't do that much." She noticed she was taking up time before she ran off waving goodbye. "Bye."
He then was about to leave when, from her waiting room, stepped out Momo, Tsuyu, Iida, and Kendo.
"Oh, hey guys," Izuku said before quirking an eyebrow. "H-Have you guys been listening in?"
"Midoriya, no offence, but you're a pretty loud person, plus we're right outside the door," Tsuyu said bluntly.
"On behalf of Uraraka, I'm sure your words gave her encouragement!" Iida said with a handing chopping motion.
"Yeah, she was really nervous about fighting Bakugou," Kendo said.
"I tried to remind him that she also judo-flipped him, but she didn't think that counted cause she wasn't focused on him," Momo said with a sigh.
"And I'm sure Bakugou wouldn't use his full explosions on a girl," Iida said, which made Momo. Kendo and Tsuyu raise an eyebrow, "What's that supposed to mean?"
Iida at that moment began waving frantically." N-No, that's not what I meant - I just meant uhm--"
"Yes, he would," Izuku said, saving his friend from the wrath of the girls. Who turned to him.
"I'm pretty sure Kacchan doesn't see gender and even if he wasn't facing a girl, we're trying our best. Holding back would be detrimental."
"Ribbit? Like you have been holding back?" Tsu asked
Izuku stumbled in surprise."I haven't been holding back on purpose!"
"Just kidding, Midoriya." Tsuyu said with a smile." I saw your injury breaking your bones at full power sounds painful."
"Y-Yeah," Izuku said as they continued walking as they reached the stairs to the seats.
"But after a while, I got used to it." This one statement made the group stop in their tracks and turn to him.
"W-What do you mean you got used to it?" Momo asked nervously.
As the group had concerned looks on their face.
"U-Uh, well, at first, I kept breaking all my fingers and my arms when I used my quirk."
Momo cringed when she heard that. Some of their classmates overheard this and cringed.
"Wait, what?! You broke your what?! Using your quirk?!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"U-Uh, it's not a big deal, I-I learned how to use my quirk and how much power I'm using, so I won't you know break," Izuku said, which calmed them down.
"Hmm? What about your transformations? Can't they use 100?" Ashido asked.
"Uh well, in the entrance exam when I was Heatblast I blasted a fire fist at around 20% and there was no backlash and it didn't hurt but Recovery Girl told me I shouldn't go over my limit even in my transformations."
"You know Midoriya, your quirk is a lot like All Mights," Tsuyu said as she sat down
Izuku immediately panicked."H-Huh?! Y-Y-You think so!" He stuttered back.
"Hold on All Might doesn't break bones like he does," Kirishima pointed out, everyone seemed to believe this before Monoma appeared.
"Well, I mean, we don't know if All Might didn't break his bones." Monoma pointed out.
"Huh? But All Might doesn't - " Kirishima was about to say to only be cut off by Monoma
"All Mights a 40-year-old man who's had experience and training with his quirk, and his past is also isn't well known for all we know maybe he used to break his bones similar to Midoriya but gained control over it." Monoma pointed out, which made sense to the class.
Todoroki listening could only agree but chose not to say anything.
Momo could only agree as eyes went from Monoma to Midoriya.
Izuku internally panicked again."Dammit, Monoma!"
"So when he transforms, he's basically any hero, but when he's our resident cinnamon roll, he's basically small. Might." Kaminari said.
"So first he hides the fact he's small Might..."
"I-I wasn't hiding--"
"... Then he hides all those muscles," Ashido said, walking up to the boy
"I-I wait what?!"
"We all saw your shirtless moment! And Midori, how could you not tell me you had such muscles."
"I-I wasn't -" Izuku said and got a few chuckles as he tried his body in embarrassment.
"Since you let Momo feel you, will you let anyone feel you--"
Kendo decided to intervene, grabbed her, and placed it in her seat.
"Okay, that's enough out of you," Itsuka said.
"Thank you. Kendo."
"No problem. Though she is right, those muscles were amazing." Kendo said Izuku's face turned crimson at that point in embarrassment as he sat next to Iida and covered his face in complete embarrassment.
"I-I can't believe she said that!" Izuku screamed in his head.
"HE WAS KIND OF FAMOUS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL!! THIS ISN'T THE FACE OF A REGULAR PERSON! FROM THE HERO COURSE KATSUKI BAKUGOU!!"
Bakugo had a piercing glare aimed at Ochako.
"Versus! She's the one personally rooting for... From the hero course, it's Ochako Uraraka!"
Ochako took a deep breath, putting on a determined expression.
Izuku looked nervously as Tsuyu stood up and took a seat next to him and grabbed a hold of her hand. The boy was surprised.
"I'm worried about Ochako too, and you look like you needed someone to calm yourself."
"Y-Yeah," He looked nervously at the fight that was about to begin.
"Do your best, Uraraka!" Izuku thought, looking tensed up.
"This battle is about to explode!!"
Bakugo held his palms out to his sides, light explosions crackling, causing smoke to spew from his hand.
...
Noami in the stands was smiling maliciously as the girl she hated more than Momo was about to go up against Bakugou,
"That useless Deku is about to watch his girlfriend get absolutely destroyed by Bakugou. Oh, today must be my lucky day." Naomi said
Ishida just gave a smirk lying back in his seat.
...
"Let's rock!"
Izuku watched as Ochako rushed over towards Bakugou, trying to predict his right hook swing. But Bakugo swiped his arm fast and, with an explosion, sent her flying back.
The girl refused to stay down, got back again, and rushed forward again into the smoke Bakugou made.
He watched as Bakugou blasted in another direction, only to see her U.A jacket there and Ochako behind him her fingers out and almost about to touch him
"She can get him!"
Yet Bakugo immediately turned around and sent an explosion to her face, blasting her backward
"No! Kacchan's reactions are too fast!" Izuku gritted his teeth with a face of worry.
With that reaction time, it doesn't matter if there's a smokescreen. With Uraraka not being able to activate her Quirk unless she touches him, she's at a disadvantage with Bakugo's reflexes." Kaminari commented as he figured that the matchup was not entirely favourable for Ochako.
"C'mon, Uraraka just needs to get one touch, and she wins," Kirishima said to which Momo scrunched her face and bit her lip.
"Even if she does touch him, Bakugou can use his explosions to keep himself in the air." Yaoyorozu thought, keeping it to herself.
"But maybe somehow she can win." Yaoyorozu thought her emotional side wanted Uraraka to win fighting with the logical side that said there was no real way she could win.
Bakugo just kept up his relentless assault blasting Ochako her back. The girl refused to stay down and continued to run back towards him.
This pattern kept going on, bruises and a few burns forming on the gravity girl, her body covered in scorch marks, and burns to which Izuku could only wince.
"Not yet!" Ochako shouted, rushing once more.
Not yet!" Ochako kept on getting back up after each blow, but Bakugo just blew her back down to the floor every time. It was getting to the point where the entire ring was breaking apart due to the force of Bakugo's explosions.
"URARAKA KEEPS ATTACKING WITHOUT REST, BUT... THIS IS..." Present Mic stopped talking, as he didn't know what to say. What could he say? He said that he wanted a bloodbath and all, but this was a massacre.
"Her substitution earlier didn't work, so she's getting desperate." A Pro Hero commented from the crowd, to which a few agreed on.
Monoma looked towards him and sighed in annoyance. "What an idiot." He simply said.
"Hey, shouldn't you stop this?! Isn't he going a little too far?!" A random member of the crowd yelled at Midnight.
Ochako ran straight ahead towards Bakugo, but the ash blonde just fired another explosion.
"I can't watch... "
...
"Tch, can't they shut up? I'm enjoying this."
"Poor Deku probably is in pain watching getting blown up like that," Naomi said a satisfied glee on her face.
...
"Hey! How can you say you want to be a Hero like that?! If there's such a huge difference in your abilities, then hurry up and send her out of bounds! Stop bullying and playing with the poor girl!"
"Yeah! Yeah!"
The crowd then began booing Bakugo for tormenting the girl with his violent actions...
"THERE'S BOOING FROM PART OF THE CROWD... BUT HONESTLY, I ALSO FEEL THE SA-"
Aizawa elbowed Present Mic in the face before he could finish that sentence.
"Was that a Pro saying he's playing around? How many years have you been a pro?" Aizawa asked.
"Huh?"
"If you're saying that with a straight face, there's no point in you watching anymore, so go home! Go home and look into changing careers!" Aizawa yelled.
Everybody was now confused by what he said, but the words got to a few pros as they sat back down.
"EH? WHAT DO YOU MEAN ERASER HEAD?!" Present Mic asked.
"Bakugo is being careful because he's acknowledged the strength of his opponent who has made it this far. It's because he's doing everything he can to win, that he can't go easy on her or let his guard down."
The smoke cleared to show Ochako still standing on her feet, panting, but still on her feet, a determined expression on her face.
"Not yet... She's still... not dead!" Bakugou thought as he acknowledged the fact that Ochaco is a lot tougher than she looks. He commends her for lasting this long.
Izuku nodded, approving of Aizawa's statement because despite being brutal and blowing the shit out of Ochako. He saw respect in Bakugou's angry eyes.
"It's about time... I think... Thanks, Bakugou... " Ochako weakly said.
Ochako brought her hands together and pressed the fingertips together.
"...for not letting your guard down!" She finished before internally saying. "Release."
"Huh?" Bakugou said in confusion as he didn't understand what she was referring to.
"It can't be helped from where Bakugou is, but it's embarrassing for a Pro in the stands to start booing without noticing." Monoma suddenly said as he now had everybody's attention.
"She kept her body low as she advanced, concentrating Bakugou's attacks on the ground, storing up weapons. Then, she narrowed his field of vision with relentless attacks to keep him from noticing."
Monoma then looked up, and everybody saw what he was referring to. Up in the sky were a bunch of rubble and other debris that were created due to Bakugou's explosions. Everyone stared wide-eyed as most of them didn't even notice that Ochako had been using her Quirk all along.
"I'm gonna win!" Ochako shouted with determination as she released her Quirk. All of the debris began to fall towards the ring at high speed.
"A METEOR SHOWER?!" Present Mic cried out in shock.
"You should have noticed," Aizawa said.
"She had a desperate plan like that up her sleeve?" Mina yelled out in shock as the majority of Class 1-A and B didn't even realize that she was planning this from the beginning.
Izuku looked up in surprise."Hey, she had a plan all along!"
He watched Ochako's fight and did not give up. Watching relentlessly fight on a familiar feeling in his chest before he shook it off and tried to ignore it.
Ochako then began sprinting straight ahead towards Bakugou.
"With this much debris, whether he's evading or counter-attacking, there will definitely be an opening! At that moment, I'll get close to him with my secret move!!" Ochako then activated her Quirk as now she was ready to go for the win.
"I will win! I will win and be just like Dekiru, too!"
She outstretched her hand, and she was fingertips away from touching Bakugou. She was fingertips away from winning... she was fingertips away from winning just like Dekiru!
But right before she could touch him, Bakugou raised his palm up and ignited a huge explosion towards the sky. The explosion Shockwave blasted her back, and the audience felt the power of the explosion.
The resulting explosion was so powerful that it completely obliterated all of the debris. The explosion was also able to blow many people off of their feet.
"Since you're friends with Deku, I thought you'd be up to something..."
The smoke cleared to show Bakugou... unscathed.
Ochako stared wide-eyed in horror. "How? How is he so strong?" She wasn't the only one who thought that, as even Izuku was surprised by the power of Bakugou.
"That was at least 2 times stronger than the explosion he fired off when we did the Battle Trials exercise. To think he managed to fire an explosion like that without any support items. Just how much strength did you get during the last month, Kacchan?" Izuku thought, shaking nervously.
"B-BAKUGO DELIVERS A SATISFYING EXPLOSION! HE BLASTS BOLDLY THROUGH URARAKA'S SECRET PLAN!" Present Mic stuttered as he and the rest of the stadium could barely form words at the display of such raw power.
Bakugo took a deep breath. "That was close." He murmured while he held his shaking arm
Ochako shook as her mind could barely process everything that just happened. "I-I did as much as I could...! But he was not fazed at all..."
The girl then stood up, he legs feeling weak, a fierce determination written on her face, she was clearly wobbly.
"No... I want to be just like Dekiru... He wouldn't give up..."
"He's pushing himself every day..." Ochako stood up to the crowd's shock. She began standing, her body clearly exhausted.
"For me... For my parents... I can't give up! I won't give up!!"
Bakugou smirked, seeing the girl not giving up and standing back up, explosions crackled in his palms.
"I will prove myself!" Memories of Midoriya flooded her mind. The rubble near her began to float, and Bakugou himself suddenly felt weightless...
"Not just to me... But to him!"The thought made her stand back up she was clearly still wobbly. As then all the memories of him, from his smile how he took notes, and how he never gave up. And how he stuttered and got so flustered made chuckle.
" What's so funny?!"Bakugou shouted. The girl, however, ignored him, and for some reason, she felt her body getting stronger. She then remembered how she always raced anytime was nearby.
"Why am I getting stronger? Because I..." She got up again even though her body told her to give up.
("But I know that I can and have stronger with him,")
She remembered Kendo's words, feelings she had been surpassing, were now exploding, as everything around her began to float.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Bakugou said as his feet left the ground to the shock of everyone.
...
The whole Class A and B were equally shocked. "What is... happening?" Denki stuttered as he looked so confused. "Guys I didn't short-circuit my brain again, right?" He asked just to make sure, which made him get a nod from everyone who had their jaws open.
Izuku couldn't understand." Uraraka Quirk lets her nullify the gravity of anything she touches. So how? How is Kacchan floating in the air like that?"
"I... I.." She knew she had a massive crush on him deep down she knew. She then turned to Izuku sitting in the booth as she panted
"... Love him!"
The entire rubble and some that ripped through the ground, Ochako's hands were glowing pink, as Bakugou was in the mid-air Ochako moved her hand to her realization and shock she was controlling everything.
CAN YOU ALL BELIEVE THIS?! SOMEHOW URARAKA ACTUALLY MANAGED TO MAKE BAKUGOU FLOAT! UNBELIEVABLE!" Present Mic cried out, while the whole crowd were watching in awe.
"I don't understand?" Aizawa muttered in surprise before looking at her hands. "Those almost look like..."He then looked at Midoriya from his booth."... Galilean. "
However, after snapping out of his shock, Bakugou was not going to let himself lose like that. Not after coming this far. After all, he had a score to settle with Izuku.
Bakugou widened as she smiled before she sent the rubble to the helplessly floating in the air Bakugou, immediately reacted by forcing his palms forward and setting off explosion after explosion after explosion to the incoming boulders
Uraraka swiped her hand moving some rubble to the side of Bakugou seeing this he had one hand in front and the other to the side before setting off explosions, but some got through cutting up his clothes and cheek.
"I'm going to win!" Ochako yelled before with a might pushed Bakugou trying to throw him out of bounds.
Bakugou refused to lose he placed the explosion behind him and like Uraraka's attack with the falling rubble he sent similar explosions tearing his muscles, he winced at the pain as he refused to be pushed out of bounds!
"C'mon, you can do it Uraraka!!" Izuku shouted from the stands.
"You can win!!" Tsuyu shouted from next to him
"Yeah beat him!!" The rest of the class shouted.
"C'MON YOU HEARD MIDORIYA!! YOU CAN DO IT!" Present mic shouted from the speakers
"You're supposed to be unbiased." Aizawa pointed out.
"FUCK THAT! C'MON TAKE THAT PROMERIAN OUT OF HERE!!!"
"YEAH!!"
Uraraka pushed she felt her body straining, getting heavier but she couldn't give up, she refused to lose as the crowd held on to her seat, as Bakugou kept blasting blood trickled down and hit the floor or floated away.
"DAMMIT!!!" Bakugou exclaimed.
As Bakugou's hands were about to give out he suddenly felt his hold become weaker.
"No... Dammit." Ochako said before the rubble completely fell to the ground, Bakugou fell to the ground's hands bloody and bruised he looked at them before a thump was heard.
Uraraka lay on the ground unmoving her eye
"Uraraka is out of commission! Bakugo wins!" Midnight announced.
...
Izuku felt his heart break as he watched Uraraka carried away on a stretcher. The boy waited a few minutes before standing up and leaving.
No one tried stopping him it wasn't hard to figure out where he was going. He took small steps towards her waiting room, trying to figure out what he was going to say, when it came to fighting and being a hero it came easy but cheering someone up when they were down was not his best in his opinion.
("I'll see you in the semi f-finals Dekiru.")
"Uraraka... I'm sorry"
It wasn't much to figure out the girl had given it her all, she would have had kept fighting and she would've won too, but knowing her the loss must be killing her.
So busy in his own world he didn't notice that Bakugou was walking up the stairs.
"Deku." Bakugou snarled this brought the green-haired haired out of his world, before seeing Bakugou.
Izuku brought to the real world. "K-Kacchan." He said in surprise before shaking and ignoring him and going where Uraraka was
"Hey don't ignore me!" Bakugou shouted in anger, he gritted his teeth when Izuku didn't glance at him.
"Her stupid plan was your idea, wasn't it?! I swear if did then I..."
"It wasn't mine."
"What--"
"If that match was harder it was because of her own power and her own strategy," Izuku said to which Bakugou could only scoff before the two heard a familiar voice
"Wow Bakugou! That was amazing." The unmistakable voice of Naomi said, Bakugou seeing the girl only had one thing to say
"What the fuck are you doing here?" He said looking at her who just smiled as she slid down the stairs.
"I came to congratulate you, I mean we are classmates." She said.
"The way you beat on Deku's girlfriend was honestly the highlight of my day," She was about to look at Izuku's reaction but he was gone, completely ignoring her.
"When stupid hair said you idiots were actually coming I thought you he was full of it but knowing you of course you would show up and I'm assuming that electrical jackass is here," Bakugou said glaring at her.
"Maybe..." She said looking at her nails."After you beat Deku me and the others were hoping we would y'know do the usual? Get him alone and..."
"Hate to break it to you but if you dumbasses try anything Deku will kick your ass, and honestly it probably won't take 5 minutes."
Naomi looked taken aback. "Oh, come on yeah he has a quirk but his still a useless worthless Deku."
Bakugou was about to retort before he remembered Ashido's words.
("If he's such a worthless, useless person, the hell does make you.")
Bakugou dry heaved, as he glared at the floor as the words kept repeating to himself.
"Huh? Are you okay? What's wrong with you?" Naomi said.
"Fuck off, can't you losers leave fucking Deku alone? It pisses me off seeing your faces! Why are you so obsessed with him I know you used really lo--" Bakugou said before stomping away.
"Shut up, don't mention that!" She exclaimed before she scoffed and walked away.
With Izuku he walked and slowly made it to her door he opened the door.
"Ah, man I lost..."
"Huh. ..?" Izuku was greeted by Ochako smiling and beaming at him as she sat down in a new P.E. uniform wrapped up for her.
"I got carried away at the end thinking I could win, dang it," Ochako said with a happy tone though Izuku could catch the smallest sadness in it.
"Uraraka what about your injuries? Are you okay?" Izuku was surprised to see her so cheerful, she fought like hell and she still lost.
"Yeah, Recovery Girl took care of me! It was only moderate Nurse White stamina I'm all good to go! But man Bakugou was really strong! He totally got me! I was so close though! But this only shows that I have to get stronger." Ochako raised her fist in frustration.
Midoriya looked at her in concern." Are... Are you sure you're alright?"
"I'm fine! Better than expected!" Ochako's phone buzzed, the caller ID said 'Daddy'
She pushed the phone towards her chest, "I mean you should immediately start looking forward kinda like you Dekiru, he falls but then you just get back and come back stronger."
"B-But don't worry about me, you should go the other matches are coming up and I'm sure you want to take notes on their quirks."
"Yeah but--"
"Go then! Go! I'll join you later! " The girl began to shove him out of the door, before closing it, as tears trickled down her face.
As soon as he heard his footsteps leave, she pulled up her phone and dialled her father's number, it rang a few times before he picked up.
" Sorry for not picking up Daddy."
{Dad: It's fine! Sorry for calling when you're busy.
Yeah you may have lost, but it was such a close match. I crushed my coffee cup when your 'Meteor crash or shower thing' started. My hand's gonna bruise from your mother squeezing it so hard. And then when you started making everything float around you!! I was cheering you on alongside the crowd!!}
"Dad, I...I wanna support you an' Mom as soon as I can. I-".
{Dad: 'Chako, we'll be just fine. There's no need to rush. Your focus should be on being a hero first...then you can shower your old man in moolah! Plus, the business has been somewhat booming!}
Ochako sniffed as she tried to stifle some tears."Really?"
{Dad: Yeah, for some reason, the city has been going through some crazy damages, a kid riding a bird, then another being chased by some knights! Oh, and the dragon ripping through the city! It's not perfect, and we're still struggling."
Uraraka let out a few of tears.
{Dad: Besides, you got next year. And the year after that! So, why are you in such a hurry to win right now?"
"But D-Dad, I...I lost! An-and I wasn' incredible! I got slaughtered out there! I thought I had a good plan but as soon as it failed I had nothin'! The last power move was... was a miracle and I still lost! My self-confidence blew up right in my face!"
{Dad: 'Chako, were fine no need to rush. Your feelings remind me of how kind you are! So I know you'll be a great hero.}
"Thanks, Daddy."
It was at that point that Uraraka lost it. Her tears flowed tenfold, but she had a smile on her face.
And that's when Izuku who was outside crying a little wiped a few tears when she heard her hang up he stepped inside.
Ochako, surprised by the sudden appearance, wiped away her tears."D-Dekiru? W- What are you doing here?" She sniffed, wiping her tears.
"God*sniff* I'm such a mess." She said, wiping her tears and trying her hardest to stop her crying.
"I-I uhm...I knew you were lying. There's no way you weren't frustrated by your loss."
The girl continued crying trying her best to suppress them as she looked at her table, Izuku could see her head was down and she was shaking.
"B-But take it from the guy who's number one at self-deprecating thoughts you were incredible!"
The girl gave a dry chuckle."N-No I wasn't I was wrecked! I tried my best but I still failed.
"Ochako don't talk like that. You were amazing!"
The girl didn't look at him as tears trickled down falling down to the table.
"You took a lot of Kaachan's explosions to make it rain concrete on him, and even when that didn't work, you made everything around you float! I have never seen Kacchan's so desperate before!"
She giggled at that, wiping a few tears.
"Okay, okay, Izuku, let's do this on a Plus ULTRA level!"
"Bakugou is strong, but you were incredible don't let this drag you down, we both know you're stronger than that,
"I still lo-"
Izuku immediately cut her off. "Not only that, but you were so determined to fight even when he pinned you down that you just got right back up! I think you're the first person he's also said by their last name and not some weird nickname at all. You were so much stronger than anyone could have expected. Everyone thought you were being bullied, but you just showed them! I didn't doubt that you would give it your all!"
He said as he suddenly felt arms wrapped around him in a hug, a crushing hug as she held tightly around him. Izuku only knew one thing he could do but hugged her back as he felt a wet spot forming on his shoulder.
The two embraced as they took the moment just to embrace one another."Thank you."
...
"ALRIGHT, LET'S CONTINUE ON!" screamed Present Mic. "IT'S THE SHOCKING SPARKING! THINKS HE'S A LADIE KILLER DENKI KAMINARI!!!"
The crowd roared as the girls of 1-A let out a few chuckles as Kaminari groaned in embarrassment.
"VERSUS THE FULLY EQUIPPED WITH SUPPORT ITEMS, FROM THE SUPPORT COURSE MEI HATSUME!"
"So he's going up against a support course?" mused Kyoka.
"I wonder what kind of fight this is going to be?" Questioned Tsuyu.
"Uh, what is that?" Sato asked in confusion.
Sato referred to the fact Denki held two wires in his hands that were connected to a power station that Hatsume had pulled out from somewhere. Kaminari hadn't exactly broken any rules as Hatsume had tossed the wires to him.
The girl then turned to class 1-A and gave specifically a thumbs up, which the strict boy returned.
"Uh, Iida why is the busty girl giving you a thumbs up?! Did Midoriya teach cheek magnet ways?!" Mineta shouted.
"No not that I'm aware of..."
Flashback
Kaminari was looking at the board and saw he was fighting some girl named Mei Hatsume." Hm? Who's Mei Hatsume?"
He then heard chuckling and what also sounded like hovering he slowly turned around to see a pink girl with dreadlocks with what seemed like hover boots.
"Whoa, she's pretty." He slapped at his cheeks. "No Ester would be so mad at me!"
"I have a proposition--" She suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to her teammate.
"I know what you're planning and I will not let you humiliate my classmate with your scheme," Iida said with authority.
"Wait what?!" Kaminari asked.
They both continued to converse ignoring the both of them.
"Oh, c'mon legs, don't be buzzkill. This is a business opportunity for me. Don't ruin it for me!" She said with waving arms.
"Regardless, Kaminari is working extremely hard to get here. You humiliating him won't be helping. Only make things worse for him."
"Hmph. He will be fine he was going to make it to the next round." Hatsume protested, pouting the fact that her plan was being interrupted.
"Uh, are we just going to protect like I'm not here?" Kaminari said.
"Make sure Kaminari is on board. He's striving to prove himself like everyone else if he gets a win on whatever scheme you have cooked up."
She scoffed as she turned to Kaminari. "Fine, Mr. Stick in the Mud says I have to let you in on my plan."
"I...uh, sure what the heck," Kaminari said with a shrug.
Flashback over
"Alright, ready?" asked Mei as Midnight yelled."Start!!" with a crack of a whip.
"Yeah, sure, but you're going to keep your end of the bargain?" Kaminari asked
"Of course!" Grinned Mei "This is the perfect opportunity for me! Any more after that is a waste of my time!"
"Err, h-has the fight started?" Asked Present Mic, turning to Shota with a confused look.
"It has but... I have a feeling something annoying is about to happen, " He said, a headache coming on.
"Hello everyone!!" greeted Mei, her voice echoing throughout the stadium.
"Er, what's happening?" Present Mic asked.
"She hijacked the speakers." Aizawa groaned in annoyance.
...
Izuku and Uraraka soon came back, taking their seats, and were both very confused by the situation.
"Uh, what's happening?" Izuku asked as he walked with Ochako to their seats.
"Uhm... well...actually I'm confused as well," Ashido said she said with a shrug and her tongue sticking out.
Noticing Uraraka was a little happier wasn't hard to tell that he made her feel better.
...
Mei proceeded to present all her inventions, hard selling them to the companies that were in the stadium. Mei used her quirk, Zoom, to magnify her sight to see the support companies seemingly interested but also confused. Denkis purpose was soon discovered when Mei began pulling out some more power-intensive gears
"This is going to take a while." Mineta groaned out before everyone nodded.
20 minutes later...
Izuku fell asleep on Ochako's shoulder, and Kirishima was snoring a little. Ashido was sleeping on Hagakure's lap, while Kyouka was on Momo's shoulder.
"I've presented each and every last one of them," sighed Mei with relief, wiping the sweat off her forehead. "I have nothing left."
With that, she stepped out.
"Err, Mei Hatsume stepped out of bounds! Kaminari advances to the second round," announced Midnight in slight confusion.
With that, Midoriya, Kirishima, and Mineta woke up, wiping a few drool from their face.
The girls soon followed suit, and Ochako didn't fall asleep, though. The boy she admitted that she was in love with fell asleep on her shoulder the whole 14 minutes was a blushing mess.
"Wheyy?" Answered Kaminari, who reverted to his retarded state after supplying electricity for so long.
Kyoka and Uraraka, seeing Denki's stupid state, made both of them burst into laughter.
"Oh, man, he's such an idiot!" Giggled Kyoka as she saw him standing there with his thumbs up.
Iida sighed."This is better than what she had planned."
"And to thank this brilliant idea, thank Tenya Iida!!" She exclaimed, to which the boy could feel some people give him some glares.
Midoriya patted his shoulder in comfort."There there."
Iida just sweatdropped.
