Chapter 28:
(Okay, time for a bit of an intermission. I have to keep Claus' storyline if I want to keep it consistent with a few things in the story. So, this story may be a little longer, so I'm sorry. Anyways, with that out of the way, enjoy the chapter)
Claus relaxed as he sat in the hot spring, after a lot of trekking with Fuel, Boney and Kumatora, he needed a bit of a break.
"Claus, you guys almost done? I need a turn." Kumatora asked the boys, "Give us like…maybe five more minutes, Kumatora?" Fuel said. Claus took a breath…easing into the water.
"You dorks said that 15 minutes ago. You idiots better not be hogging that hot spring." She said, Boney just barked.
"Ruff, ruff, ruff(You guys don't know how happy I am to be in a bath, right now.)" Boney said, but only Claus could understand him.
"You mean this is the only time you'll take a bath, willingly?" Claus argued, Boney panted. "(You shut up. You're the one who needs a bath, Claus.)" Boney said. "Oho, so I'M the one who smells like dung beetles?" Claus asked, "Ruff. Ruff.(Yes. Precisely, you're always the one covered in dirt.)" Boney said.
Fuel looked over between the two of them…
"What'd he say?" He asked. "He—" Before Claus could say anything, he was interrupted.
"He said: 'It's time to let Kumatora have a turn at the hot spring.'"A voice said, immediately slapping Fuel.
"K-Kumatora?" Claus asked, slightly nervous and putting on a nervous smile.
"Y-You know, now that I think about it, it IS your turn." He said.
"Claus. Fuel. Boney. I will give you idiots five SECONDS to leave. Without. BEATING YOU TO A PULP!" Kumatora said, aggravated for waiting for too long.
"START WALKING, NOW!" She shouted, at the same time, they heard thunder.
"R-Right, we're going." Fuel said, getting a towel and walking off. Ruff. Ruff.(Sorrysorry!)" Boney ran ahead, she started hitting and kicking Claus as he was going, "Guys, wait for me!" Claus managed to make it to his towel, but as he was trying to grab it, thanks to Kumatora's kicking and hitting.
The towel fell into the spring. "No! My towel!" Claus said, "Okay, I'm going! I'm going!" Claus said, getting out of the water and leaving. Kumatora got in the water, "Those boys are idiots." She said.
(Later)
Claus was regretting not getting that extra towel. "Dang it. Now my laundry's all wet." He said, his clothes soaked in water.
"How long do you think she needs to clean herself?" Fuel asked, remembering that he got something thrown at him as they tried to escape. "(Fuel, don't complain. We were in the spring too long.)" Boney whimpered in a bit of fear. "(I'm worried whether or not my fur now being in the spring will make her more angry.)" Claus looked over, "Okay, we should talk about these roots. I know we had a change of plans, but Kumatora got a letter from Salsa at the Research Lab." Claus looked at their map, "'Kay, we should make it in at least three hours. There's still time to get Salsa out of there and figure out who…Mr. Andonuts is." Claus said, keeping note of the time of day.
"If we can make it before sunset, that'd be great. Batangutans begin to come out of caves."
Fuel was about to say something, "Yes, Fuel. I heard what I said, your stupid pun name." Claus said, realizing he used his friend's name for the Chimera breed. "Clearly, it's not stupid enough if you're using it." Fuel said.
Claus looked at the map, checking for any territories for any stronger Chimeras, in case they were need to steer clear of.
He heard a sigh from behind, "Hey guys, sorry I got on you, earlier. That spring really does wonders on your muscles." Kumatora said, already clean.
"Oh, no worries, Kumatora. We shouldn't have hogged it." Fuel said. Boney was still shaking himself out, "Yeah, no, I totally see why though." She said, "Anyways, we're still going or camping?"
Claus then heard something. The ground was shaking.
"What's…Oh no, not here!" Claus said, knowing too well what that noise and feeling was, and it wasn't from the summer storms.
"We need to run! Now!" Claus said, running, "Come on! They're not hitting this direction!" He grabbed Kumatora and Fuel's hands and they started running with him.
Lightning struck one of the trees nearby. "What do we do? Where do we go?" He asked himself.
These strikes of lightning, what the heck was this? They weren't striking houses.
"A diagnostic's run?" Claus thought to himself as he continued to run out of the area, they've gotta find a place to hide.
"No…they wouldn't just be shooting anywhere for that? Would they?" It was then that a lightning was about to strike.
"Guys, get back!" Claus turned around and pushed back his friends, before trying to run.
"GYYAAAAAARGH!" Claus shouted in pain as he saw that the lightning hit his leg.
"CLAUS!" Fuel & Kumatora shouted.
Claus tried to pick himself up, "No…I can't. My friends…are still in danger. My brother's still missing…I'm…NOT DYING HERE!" Claus said, determined to get out of here, he didn't realize something: he was walking. "Wh-Wha…how am I…my leg shouldn't be able to move." He thought to himself.
"Claus, are you okay?!" Fuel asked, worried about his best friend.
"I-I'm okay…I…think it just barely missed me." He said, hyperventilating. "Claus, it DIDN'T miss you! You…took the lightning." Kumatora said, "Come on, let's go find some cover." Claus was walking, without even thinking of touching anyone. What remained of that strike of lightning, was turning from white-to teal and purple. "Claus…it's weirder. Why's the lightning changing color?" Fuel said, "What?" Claus asked, frightened. What's going on here? There's no way he should've survived that strike, right?
(Okay, intermission over)
"Asui, you lost your headband!" Denki said, "Oh no, someone got the jump on. Well, I have an idea." Tsuyu had her eyes on Team Midoriya and Team Todoroki.
"Shoji, let's head into Full-On Attack Mode!" Tsuyu said, as Mezo uncovered his two teammates.
"We'll use their focus on each other, then strike for their headbands." Tsuyu said, "You got it, Asui!" Denki said, readying himself.
Shoto stared the team down, "I didn't think this confrontation would happen until later in the contest. He seems to really have it out for you, Midoriya." Fumikage said. "We can't stop now!"
"Now, Iida. Forward!" Shoto told Tenya, who ran toward their opponents. "Yaoyorozu. Be ready to protect us." Tenya said, Momo using her Quirk to make something.
"Sakai, get ready for a barrage." Tenya said, "Understood!" Lucas said,
Izuku realized that it wasn't just Team Todoroki that was after him.
"Everyone's after us!" Izuku said, reminding his team to stay on guard, "Here we go! This is your moment, Team Midoriya!" Lucas sent a blast of fire at their team, and Dark Shadow took the brunt of the attack.
"Okay, less than six minutes." Shoto thought to himself, "Sakai, now!" he shouted at Lucas, who started using his using his power to create barriers around the other teams.
Momo finished what she was making, some sort of rod, which Shoto grabbed and used his ice Quirk, freezing the fellow teams in place!
"Sorry, but there's no other way." Shoto said, running ahead to catch Team Midoriya.
"Will you look at that?! He's stopped all those teams cold in their tracks!" Present Mic said, as they continued onward.
"He kept them in place for a minute with Raito's powers, he's creating some psychokinetic barriers around the other teams to give Todoroki enough time to use his Quirk." Aizawa explained, "In the obstacle course, he was surprised by how many people avoided his attack, he's adapting his strategy."
Hizashi gave him a thumbs up, "Nice commentary!"
Shoto managed to grab another 1-B student's headbands. "I might as well take these." Shoto said, "Sorry, everyone." Lucas said, with a ginger-haired girl's shout saying, "Come BAAACK!" Before Shoto put up an ice wall in front of them.
Izuku realized that the jetpack was malfunctioning, "Baby! Guess it needs some upgrades." Mei said, upset that her baby wasn't working properly anymore. "Oh, no, they're too fast!" Ochaco said, as Team Todoroki was coming in hot.
"Take care of them!" Fumikage shouted as Dark Shadow tried to attack them.
"Yaoyorozu!" Shoto shouted, with Momo pulling up a defense against Dark Shadow, she smirked at Fumikage's dismay. "She's too good at her Creation Quirk, we need to be careful." Izuku said, "But…Then there's Lucas." Lucas looked slightly worried at him, "Agreed. Sakai's one of the one's to fear." Fumikage didn't understand that burst of fire, "If there was any more sunlight, Sakai's attack would've completely destroyed Dark Shadow." Fumikage said, Izuku gasped in fear.
He remembered how Fumikage's Quirk worked, how Dark Shadow was easier to manage and control in the sunlight than at night, but while it's easier to control, Dark Shadow is weaker in the sunlight. "You're right. Lucas has a number of things he can throw at us. That fire being one of them." Izuku said, noting all the things about his friend's abilities.
"As long as Sakai continues to use his Quirk, it will be very difficult for me to attack." Fumikage said, "Dark Shadow is too timid in the light." He said, as Dark Shadow looked sheepish, "Violence solves nothing." Dark Shadow said.
Izuku felt a big push as Mei and Ochaco realized they were going out of bounds.
"Your attack power is too low, but they have no idea that's the case, right?" Izuku asked. "I don't think so. The only person I've mentioned this weakness to is Koda back at the USJ."
Izuku nodded, "Okay, good deal. We can use that. This'll work out. All we have to do is hang on to the ten million points, no matter what." Izuku said.
(As we cut back to Katsuki fighting you know who)
"Monoma. Don't provoke him, man. That's something he would do." The blonde student—Neito Monoma's classmate said, "Yeah, I guess you're right. It's not very heroic of me. Besides, you know how things work." Neito explained, "Heroes are always being hounded by moronic villains desperate for some kind of revenge." Neito said that deliberately trying to antagonize Katsuki.
"Calm down, Bakugo. You've gotta keep a level head or we'll never get our points back!" Eijirou said, but to no avail, Katsuki just roared, and punched his fist with his Quirk. "Shut up! I've never been calmer. Can't you tell? Now get after them, Kirishima!" He shouted, revealing his slightly unhinged-looking smirk. "Please don't make us regret this." Eijirou said. Team Bakugo ran straight in for Team Monoma, all Neito did was smirk, "You think you're tough?! Die!" Katsuki launched an explosion at him, as Neito dodged with ease.
As Katsuki turned back around in surprise, what was more surprising was…Neito's using Katsuki'd Quirk against him?!
"Huh. Wow. I see why you like this Quirk!" Neito said, before brushing his hand off of Eijirou's hair.
"My power?" Katsuki asked, "Whoa, weird. That guy has your Quirk!" Eijirou said, Katsuki grew angry and shot for him again, only this time…Neito had Eijirou's Quirk?!
"You both have impressive powers, but I think you'll agree mine's better." Neito said, leaving Eijirou shocked.
"Huh? What? Mine, too?" He asked, Katsuki figured it out.
"His Quirk…He can copy other powers." Katsuki figured it out, Monoma kept his flat smile on, "Very good." He pointed to his head, "So, even an idiot can figure it out." As another team came up and shot some form of liquid in between the the already opposing teams.
"Nice one. Thanks for the backup, Bondo." He said, keeping Katsuki from charging at Neito. "Monoma. If we keep those headbands, we're good. As long as no one gets near us, we'll make our class proud." His teammate said, as Team Monoma departed. "Stop 'em!" Katsuki ordered, but Kirishima was stuck in whatever that Bondo student shot at Team Bakugo.
"No prob, I'll melt through this gunk with my Quirk!" Mina said. "Well hurry! We're sitting at zero points now!" Hanta said, "Oh yeah, no hard feelings, right?" Neito said, showing off Katsuki's Quirk. "After all, you provoked us. What was it you said at your little speech before the games?" He asked, condescendingly. As Katsuki stared at him with an unhinged grin once again, "Uh…Oh, right. Oof." Katsuki told himself it wasn't over yet, "I'm still gonna come out on top. And I won't just be first place, I'll be the undeniable champion!" He thought to himself, growing more enraged.
(Just a quick check, how does Mythra sound for Kumatora's voice? O-Oh yeah, back to Izuku and Shoto or something)
It's the last half of the game, and Team Todoroki has Team Midoriya surrounded on all sides. "Stay back!" Izuku said, Shoto was about to charge, as Dark Shadow appeared for defense.
"You're doing good, kid." Toshinori said, proud of his protege.
"He's exploiting your weakness. Don't be a fool." Endeavor said, keeping a critical state on his son.
Shoto realized Izuku's strategy, "Midoriya's keeping his distance and staying on my left side. That's his strategy. From this position, if I try to hit them, I'll hit Iida." Shoto thought about what to do, "Sakai, shoot them with fire!" Shoto realized that Lucas could still fight for him, "G-Got it!" Lucas blasted an attack of fire at Dark Shadow. "I noticed when Dark Shadow took the attack, he flinched." He thought to himself, coming into realization. "It wouldn't be presumptuous to assume the phantasm is a simple shadow, solidified for physical attacks." Lucas then heard something and it wasn't his voice. "Wh-Wait…That wasn't…" He quickly looked around, making sure another team wasn't nearby. Lucas calmed himself once he saw no one was nearby. "Their defenses are weakening. Tenya, I'll send a shot of flame out at Dark Shadow, then you go in and grab Izuku's headband." Lucas said, Tenya nodded at his classmate.
"Sakai? You have a plan?" Shoto asked, Lucas nodded. "Ready, Tenya?" Lucas asked, "Understand that this'll make me useless, afterward." Tenya said, which perplexed his teammates. Lucas immediately shot fire at Team Midoriya, with Fumikage immediately pulling defenses. "What's..Oh no…Lucas figured it out!" Izuku said, as Dark Shadow was in a weakened state. "Dark Shadow!" Fumikage said, worried.
"Now, Tenya!" Lucas said, "All right, brace yourselves!" Tenya said, as his exhaust pipes in his legs ignited blue fire. "Torque Over—" Tenya sent them across as Shoto grabbed Izuku's headband.
Izuku had no time to think, all he could was watch in shock as Tenya and Team Todoroki succeeded in getting Izuku's headband.
Team Todoroki was now in first place with an extension of 10,000,000.
Lucas and Momo looked at Tenya in shock, with their classmate catching his breath. Hizashi was even shocked at what happened. "Iida, what was that?!" Shoto asked, tying the headband around his head.
"Forced my Torque and RPM into overdrive, which gave me explosive power!" Tenya explained, "Unfortunately, the recoil stalls my engines for a while." Lucas let go of Shoto with one hand and put his hand on Tenya.
"Here, Tenya, maybe I can still give you an energy boost." Lucas said, trying to use his healing abilities. Grunting in pain as he tries his best. Smoke was still coming from his exhaust pipes, "What?! Oh…Oh no. It's not an injury, so I couldn't do anything." Lucas said, "You had an ace up your sleeve, no one knew you could do that." Tenya stared at Izuku, who simply glared back.
"I told you, Midoriya…that I'd do my very best to beat you." Team Midoriya now fell behind with zero points, the crowd went wild with excitement as Endeavor grinned, while Toshinori looked nervous about how Midoriya would handle this. "Don't let them go!" Izuku said, getting anxious. "Sakai's still a problem to us! It'll be smarter for us to try for other points now." Fumikage said, to which Izuku strongly reminded that they don't know who has the other headbands. "This is our only chance!" Izuku said, Mei and Fumikage were reluctant.
"Then let's go! We'll get the points back, Deku! I know it!" Ochaco said, running ahead. Izuku remembered that Ochaco was especially determined to win, with how she could help her family with how hard she works.
"That's right…" Izuku remembered that he wasn't alone in all this. He remembered Mei using his fame to her personal advantage, along with Fumikage reminding him that they were counting on him.
"All three of them put their trust in me. This is my responsibility." He thought to himself, activating his Quirk. Shoto and Lucas looked shocked, "We're all have our reasons to win this, and I refuse to let the others down!" He shouted in his head, Shoto pulling up his left side, Lucas trying to pull up a barrier.
(Talking about teams is reminding me of Sonic Heroes)
"With time almost up, Team Todoroki is in the first place with four headbands." Neito looked at the score and saw that his team was in 2nd place, "Second place. We've done pretty well for ourselves. Now we can let the clock run out." Neito said, when his team heard an angry shout: "Losers! Get back here." Neito groaned in annoyance, Katsuki wasn't giving up just yet. "Knowing you've been bested is an important part of being a hero—" An explosion came off of Katsuki as he launched himself toward Team Monoma, "Hey, don't just fly off on your own!" Eijirou said, worried about getting disqualified. "Tsuburaba! Stop him!" Neito shouted, with Kosei Tsuburaba creating his barrier of air, that knocked Katsuki off balance for a second.
It was this moment that they continued to mock Katsuki, while the boy was punching the barrier. "You look pretty stupid for fighting with air." Kosei said, as the last punch was enough for Katsuki to get through and take the headbands from Team Monoma.
"Shoot. He took some of them!" As Sero managed to grab Bakugo with his Quirk, leaving Team Bakugo now in 3rd place and pushing Team Monoma down to 4th.
Team Monoma was defending themselves from their own classmates now, "We're still in 4th! It's fine." Kosei said, even explaining that Team Kendo's been frozen and their leader, Itsuka Kendo hasn't been a real player. "Yeah, if we defend this one to death, we'll move forward." Neito decided to keep their last headband.
"I told you to warn us before you jumped!" Hanta said to Katsuki, with the latter making it back to his team, "Whatever, this means we're advancing." Eijirou said, "WE'RE NOT DONE!" Katsuki shouted, still hopped up on his anger and hitting Eijirou's head. "WE'RE GONNA BE THE INDISPUTABLE CHAMPIONS OF THE GAME!"
"Would you look at that? Class 1-B's strategy was a reasonable one, but there's one thing they forgot to consider…" Aizawa said.
"I couldn't brace myself earlier when I jumped. Get closer, we'll get our points back from this idiot, then go for the big one!" Katsuki said, his team smiled. "Elbow guy, tape 'em!" Katsuki shouted, lifting my his leg for Hanta to shoot his Quirk.
"My name's Sero!" Hanta reminded, focusing on his shot.
"You missed!" Neito shouted, "Raccoon eyes. Lay down some acid in the direction we're going." Katsuki said, "It's Mina Ashido!" She said, using her Quirk.
"Young Bakugo…You understand something crucial. A truth no one had to teach you." Toshinori noticed as he continued to watch Team Bakugo get those points back from Team Monoma. "That there's a difference between those who aim for the top, and those who will settle." Katsuki used his Quirk to send his team flying across the field.
"And that's important." Toshinori concluded his thoughts.
"Class 1-B didn't take into account Bakugo's overwhelming tenacity." Team Monoma created a barrier for them to block off their attack.
But Katsuki used his Quirk to break that air barrier and take Neito's last headband.
"Bakugo is a merciless force!" Hizashi said, now realizing that they took back 3rd place! With Team Monoma falling back down.
"Now, we're going after Deku and Todoroki!" Katsuki said, turning to the giant shards of ice.
(So, why are red and blue always at odds with each other, but not opposite colors? Or why are green and red not the eternal rivals, but opposite colors? I'm asking cuz of Izuku and Shoto's hair colors)
"This'll be fine, I'm not actually going to hit him! I'm just slicing through the air! To take out my opponents defenses!" Izuku thought to himself, grabbing using the wind to brush off Shoto's fire!
"My left side? What am I doing?" Shoto asked himself, not realizing that Izuku was going for the headbands! "He's turned the bands around to hide their point values, but he put the ten million one on last, right?" He asked himself, realizing it must be on top!
He grabbed it, moving past Team Todoroki as they grabbed a headband.
"That's it! I did it!" Shoto stood still, as the crowd cheered. "With just 11 seconds left, Team Midoriya is back in the game!" Mei quickly realized something was off, "U-Uh, wait a minute. Please tell me I got something wrong in my eyes." She said, as Izuku looked at the headband. It only read 70 points. "They tricked us!" Izuku said, "We mixed the headbands up. There's no way we'd leave the prize on top." Momo pointed out, "You underestimate us." Lucas looked guilty. He saw Izuku go all out, and he may not have anything to show for it. "Th-There's still time, right?" Lucas asked himself, "Come on, Izuku…" he looked at his friend, who was worried about their place in 6th.
"Todoroki, you better watch yourself, that was too close." Shoto was lost in thought, "Tokoyami!" Izuku shouted, as Fumikage used Dark Shadow to grab another headband.
"Sakai!" Lucas slightly hesitated as Shoto shouted at him to do something, but he put up a barrier and prevented Dark Shadow from reaching them.
"Uraraka!" Izuku shouted, with Ochaco started running. "Deku!" Katsuki found himself in the middle of it, launching himself at both teams and trying to figure out who has the points.
"Yaoyorozu." Shoto said, as Momo made a rod to use for the attack he used before.
It was neck and neck and neck! Three Teams trying to win, but there wasn't enough time yet.
Katsuki was almost to the ground, Shoto readied himself for defenses and Izuku tried to reach for another headband.
"TIME'S UP!" Hizashi said, with every team stopping what they were doing. Katsuki fell to the ground, "Bakugo! Are you okay, man?" Eijirou asked, as Katsuki slammed his fist against the ground, growling aggressively.
Shoto got off, realizing his mistake of using his left side, Lucas looked at him sadly. "Now, let's take a look at who our top four teams are." Hizashi said.
"In 1st Place, Team Todoroki!" Momo looked exhausted slightly, "We ended in first place, but it was too close for comfort." She said, Tenya apologized for…letting everyone down. "What? Tenya, if it weren't for you, we never would've gotten the headband." Lucas said, "Sakai's right, Iida. You're the reason we won. Thank goodness for that special move of yours." Tenya took a deep breath, "I see. Thank you, as for you, Sakai." Tenya said, slightly strict. "Wh-What? I-I-Is this because I hesitated on that last part?" Lucas said, worried about whatever scolding he was going to receive. "No, I was going to say you did great. You recognized Tokoyami's weakness and strategized." Tenya's strict look turned into a small smile. Lucas wasn't as sheepish, but nodded in understanding. "Oh yeah, thanks for the help with our defenses, Yaoyorozu-san. Our strategy on using Todoroki-san's attack worked." He then looked at Team Midoriya.
"In 2nd Place: Team Bakugo!" Hizashi said, Mina started waving her hands around, "Ugh. We were so close to first place." She said, "Meh. Sure. But we're movin' on, so it's all good." Hanta said, Eijirou looked at Katsuki. "I don't think our leader would agree with you. Like, at all." He said, watching Katsuki sit and then scream angrily that they didn't win.
3rd Place went to Team Hitoshi, in a very big surprise, as it was believed Team Tetsutetsu was in third. "Heh. Thanks for the help." Shinso said, as he walked away.
"Hey, Deku." Izuku looked upset as Mei took off her invention from him. "Guys, I'm…really sorry." He apologized. "Huh?" Mei and Ochaco were confused. She then started giggling as they pointed to Fumikage.
"I must apologize. When Todoroki was shaken by your first attack. I tried to grab the ten-million-point headband." He explained, "…but things didn't go as planned." Dark Shadow lifted himself up, as Izuku was shocked. "Still, I got one. It around his head, where his guard was the weakest." Dark Shadow got them a headband worth at least 579 points, "Midoriya, you're the one who created the opening for me. And endured our advancement." Dark Shadow giving a thumbs up, "And in 4th place is Team Midoriya!" Izuku was driven to tears, crying and entire fountain for just barely making it to the next round.
"These four teams will advance on to the final round!" Hizashi said, Toshinori taking a breath.
Lucas smiled, happy that his friend made it to the next round, but then turned to see Shoto lost in thought. "At this rate, he'll win and I'll be exactly who he wants me to be." Shoto said to himself, Lucas looked at him, worried what he meant by that. Shoto looked at his classmate.
"Sakai. After this, I have no reason to fight you." Shoto said to him, Lucas looked slightly worried about what he would say to him. "I…appreciate you trying to help me here. But if we face off: You better not hold back, understand?" Shoto said, telling Lucas to be ready to fight him if they go against each other. "Y-Yeah…Of course."
Endeavor watched as he saw his son talk to the mysterious hooded boy. "That one…he used fire as well." He said, noting that he has the same power as Shoto.
Present Mic told the audience they were gonna take a short one hour lunch break, before they started the afternoon activities. Aizawa decided to take a nap.
(Afterward)
Tetsutetsu's team realizef that they had zero points then it was all over. "Maybe it was some sort of karmic punishment for taking the frog girl's headband. It was so underhanded."
Shinso smirked as he walked off.
Tsuyu was upset that her team lost, but she walked up to Mina. "Mina. Congrats." Mina didn't have a victorious smile, "Mm, thanks, but Bakugo only asked me to join because I could melt Todoroki's ice." Mina didn't really believe that she helped that much.
"Iida, you've were holding out on us. I had no idea you could do that!" Ochaco said, running in place, clearly peeved.
"Rest assured, it wasn't my intention to deceive you. I was just being strategic." Iida was being adamant on the fact that he was going up against Midoriya.
"Hey, speaking of, where'd he go?" Ochaco asked, "Has anyone seen Deku?"
A while ago, Shoto brought Izuku to the entrance by the student, teacher faculty areas. He stared the greenette down, while the latter looked shaken. "You brought me here…Now what?" Little did they know that someone had followed them. Lucas hid quietly by the side of the wall, worried about how this would go.
(Flameo, Hotman)
Endeavor walked down the steps, but someone came up to him. "Yo! Long time no see! Let's catch up, Endeavor." All Might showed up, with Endeavor looking at him, with a sense of hostility. "All Might." Was all he said.
(Okay, one more round to go and the Sports Festival Arc is over. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I've set up a few things I think'll work, Shoto developing a friendship with Lucas, Endeavor taking note of how similar his powers are to Shoto's, Claus is starting to develop his abilities, and Lucas is close to meeting the mysterious being. So yeah, I got a lot done in here. Also, I wanted to note that I was trying to be a bit random with each cut to another character's perspective or moving to a later scene, so I hope that's not annoying. Anyways, stay strong and awesome! If I can encourage, try to spend some time in prayer. God has a plan for you guys)
