"AFTER THE INTENSE BATTLE BETWEEN TOREKUROSHI AND TODOROKI, IT'S TIME FOR THE NEXT MATCH!" Present Mic announced. "FIRST, WE HAVE THE BIG BEAUTIFUL GAL WHO MAY LOOK ROUND AS A BALL BUT UNDERNEATH, IT'S MUSCLE, Y'ALL! IT'S HILDA TOUKOTOYA! AND HER CHOSEN OPPONENT; THE CHARMING, THE MYSTERIOUS, THE ELUSIVE NATURAL HARMONIOS GROUPIUS! TALK ABOUT A WEIRD NAME TO GIVE YOUR KID!"
Hilda walked onto the stage and saw N casually approaching with his hands in his pockets and a cool smile on his face. The big girl couldn't help but feel her heart thump in her chest and her face heat up with excitement.
"Come on, Hilda. It couldn't have been those ten hot dogs you had earlier to tank up..." She thought to herself.
"I must say, it's nice for us to be able to once more clash with everything we have," N said with his friendly smile still on his face. "I look forward to seeing you go all out."
Hilda took a deep breath and smiled back. "Thanks, me too. I'm not gonna go easy on you, y'know!"
"I wasn't expecting you to."
As soon as Midnight cracked her whip to signal the start of the match, N surprised Hilda by moving at supersonic speeds with Soru. The adorable fatty raised her hammy arms up to block the incoming palm strike which pushed her back a little as N then dashed around the arena.
"Behind you!"Came Hikage's voice as [Danger Sense] blared in Hilda's head.
Spinning around, Hilda immediately threw a punch, wincing slightly as it collided with a muscular grey fist that had red marks on it.
"MACHOKE FIST!"
Hilda jumped back and landed, her belly wobbling in a tantalizing display as N then tucked into a ball and spun before a shell of hard rock formed around him as he dashed toward her.
"GOLEM ROLL!"
Hilda caught the incoming boulder and dug her feet tightly into the ground, gritting her teeth as she pushed back with all her might, pink and white electricity dancing off her as sweat poured down her neck.
"Cool, keeping up the pressure on me, huh? Mind taking me out to dinner first?!"
Hilda then pushed the boulder away, which shattered as N swung his leg, using Rankyaku to send a vacuum blade straight for Hilda, who ducked to the side as she felt her blood boiling with passion.
"Give me all you got!"
Suddenly, much to everyone's shock, no less than Hilda's, strange black strands exploded out of her arms.
Toshinori nearly fell out of his seat when he saw that. He needed Melony to catch him before he hit his head.
"That...That's [Blackwhip]! The Quirk of the 5th User of [One For All]!"
The rest of Izuku's Crew were also surprised as Shun looked interested the most.
"The energy of that Quirk is similar to the one from that man in the Vestige Realm...I think his name was Daigoro Banjo or something." The Seraph of Lust noted.
N was certainly surprised as well but did not let this distract him as he resumed his assault, turning his fists into red boxing gloves as he lunged at Hilda.
"HITMONCHAN ASSAULT!"
Hilda smirked, despite the shock she felt of having black tentacles come out of her arm, and used Tekkai to tank N's blows. As the boypicked up the pace, Present Mic couldn't help but comment:
"STANDING HERE, I REALIZE!" The loud Pro sang! "YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME, TRYING TO MAKE HISTORY!"
BONK!
"Shut up." Aizawa groaned as he cut off the radio feed.
"OUCH! WHY YA HIT SO HARD?!"
The black strands still lashing around, Hilda focused herself and then launched them to force N to dodge and give her some breathing room. As she did, she saw the spirit of a man with a shaved head, biker gear, and a bullet bandolier.
"Good job unlocking my [Blackwhip], kiddo!" The man grinned. "Name's Daigoro Banjo, the 5th User of OFA! Just know I've got your back as well as everyone else!"
Hilda smiled as Daigoro's spirit faded away before she decided to try something with her new power and aimed it forward.
"PINPOINT FOCUS!"
A single strand shot out and narrowly missed N, who flinched in surprise before suddenly seeing Hilda barrel toward him like a cannonball. He had no time to put up a defense as she slammed into him, the two flying out of the ring together.
"HILDA KNOCKED N OUT OF THE RING FIRST! THE VICTORY GOES TO HER!" Midnight declared.
Hilda groaned before looking down to see she had her opponent practically pinned to the ground, especially with her heavy belly. N could look up as his face wasn't that far from Hilda's chubby face.
"S-Sorry!"
She bolted to her feet, blushing the whole time before realizing N was still just laying there. With a yelp, she offered him a hand to his feet, which he took.
"Good fight." Hilda smiled as they shook hands, the crowd erupting in cheers.
"Excellent fight." N replied, smiling and he leant in to kiss Hilda on the cheek.
Many in the crowd gasped.
"Your vicgtory prize." N smiled sweetly, as he then took a bow and departed the stadium, not using Hilda frozen in place with not only a beet red face, but steam escaping her ears and a dopey, lovey dovey smile on her face.
"Hark!" Mina gasped in excitement. "Do my shipping eyes deceive me?!"
"I dunno, do they?" Himiko asked.
DEVIL
"UP NEXT, WE HAVE A SHOWDOWN BETWEEN THE SUPER TOUGH PINK PUFF, KIRBY SAKURAI! AND HER OPPONENT, THE FROGGY WHO MAKES IT EASY BEING GREEN, TSUYU ASUI!"
"Let's have a good match-Kero." Tsuyu croaked to Kirby, who nodded.
"You got it! I'll even make it part of your element!"
Kirby then took out a bottle of sparkling mineral water and inhaled the whole thing. In a flash, she was now clad in a beautiful blue swimsuit-like outfit with a light blue sash, a magenta skirt, and magenta anklets. Her pink hair had turned an ocean blue and atop her head was a golden crown housing what appears to be flowing water.
"Damn, you're so lucky, Bakugou!" Minoru exclaimed.
"Heh, you know it, Grapist," Katsuki smirked, a small blush on his face.
Tsuyu nodded and as the match began, she leaped at Kirby with her powerful legs. The transformed girl created a small water wave to ride on as the two met in the middle, Kirby forming water over her fist to clash against Tsuyu's kick.
The two jumped back as Kirby tilted her head down and her crown fired a powerful geyser of water, which Tsuyu dodged and ran from while hopping on all fours. Kirby then built up water in her mouth and spit it out as a jet stream, which Tsuyu jumped over before lashing her tongue out to wrap around her waist and yank her into the air.
However, the frog girl didn't notice the smirk on Kirby's face as she created a large sphere of water around her. In a flash, she created a beautiful rainbow flourish that got the crowd cheering in awe.
"RAINBOW RAIN!"
The blast was powerful enough to send Tsuyu crashing down out of bounds. The frog-like girl managed to pick herself up and dust off her clothes as Kirby landed and turned back to normal.
"Good match-Kero."
"You definitely are quick on your feet!"
DEVIL
The next match was between Lilique and Chuchu, the two old friends played it relatively safe with each other, which made sense given their history. However, Chuchu showed impressive use of her Quirk, one of which was pulling out her approved Support Items to use with them...which were a pair of battle mech arms that connected to her hair puffs as if they were ball joints and became an extension of her body.
"BALL JOINT MODE!"
"THUNDERBOLT TEMPO!" Lilique exclaimed, creating a thunder strike as Chuchu dodged with jet boosters in her mech arms.
As the two danced around each other, Lilique shapeshifting her Clima-Tact into a large frying pan to slam against the mech fists, the students of 1-A, 1-B, and 1-C were chatting.
"Man, this is just so crazy! I hope with all the battles that have been happening, those who got fights will get recommendations!" Minoru noted as Kouji nodded in agreement.
"Lilique is giving it her all there to be sure." Bakara nodded. "She may look sweet and delicate, but she's trained with us before."
Kobeni smiled slightly. "Lilique is always so kind...she'll make a great hero, I think."
"You guys really stick up for each other, huh?" Kinoko Komori noted with a smile.
"Heck yeah! If it wasn't for Lilique, none of us would have become friends!" Himiko said, referring to herself, Bakara, Kobeni, Mukuro, Nia, and Mipha.
Eventually, Chuchu managed to knock Lilique out of bounds. Despite this, the soft-figured girl was happy and pulled Chuchu into a hug afterward to show there were no hard feelings, much to the pink puffball-haired Support student's embarrassment.
DEVIL
The next match was between Rebecca and Ellie. The latter smirked as she took out a large wrench that she held over her shoulder while Rebecca's fists bulked up and sparked with electricity as she clashed them together.
"Give it all you got, sugar pie!"
"Only if you do as well, meatball!"
The two rushed at each other as Midnight cracked the whip. Rebecca's gauntlet fists and Ellie's wrench clashed together with a mighty CLANG before they jumped back. Ellie then slammed her wrench into the ground to break it apart before using her Quirk to form the chunks into a stone hammerhead over her wrench, turning it into a makeshift hammer.
"Not bad!" Rebecca commented as she jumped over a swing from Ellie's hammer wrench with boosters in her feet before getting behind her and detaching her right arm by an energy chain.
"STRONG RIGHT!"
Ellie spun around with speeds her rotund frame would have you not believe and slammed her hammer wrench into the incoming arm flail. The stone hammerhead shattered into pebbles as she moved back to avoid a swinging slam strike.
"WEAPONS LEFT!"
Rebecca held out her left hand, which flipped open to reveal a cannon in her forearm. She fired a powerful energy blast at Ellie, who slammed down one of her approved Support Items and created a golden hexagonal bubble shield to protect her from the attack.
"Let's have a little fun!"
Ellie then threw out her Axton Saber Turrent, which unfolded and began opening fire on Rebecca, whose cybernetic lines glowed a bright gold as she moved at superfast speeds.
"OVERDRIVE!"
Ellie couldn't keep up with Rebecca's speed as she grabbed the turret and threw it at the Bubble Shield, shattering it and causing Ellie to tumble out of bounds. The cyborg smirked as she wiped her mug and then struck a pose for the crowds
"SUPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!"
Ellie chuckled as she hefted herself up and strutted over to pat Rebecca on the back in congratulations for her victory.
DEVIL
The next match was between Nia and Vivi and already the two were going at it. Vivi was surprisingly quick on her feet while Nia gained what appeared to be Cheetah stripes on her clothes as she ran at much faster speeds than normal.
"CHEETAH POINT!"
Vivi used Soru to dodge Nia's attacks but the cat girl grinned as she had a surprise in store for the Princess of Alabasta.
"KAMISORI!"
With a mixture of Geppo and Soru, Nia began blitzing in a zigzag motion in midair. Vivi gasped and quickly got on the defensive by erecting a barrier of sand but Nia switched to her Lion Point.
"HEAVY GONG!"
With a powerful punch, the sand dispersed as Vivi ended up falling to the ground, only to quickly stop herself with a cactus blossom acting as a cushion. She then huffed before thrusting both hands out and shooting jets of water from her palms.
"WHOA! HOW IS VIVI USING WATER?! DOESN'T HER QUIRK MANIPULATE DESERTS OR SOMETHING?!"
"You forget that even in deserts, you can find water." Aizawa pointed out. "Not just in cactus plants, but also in certain springs. There's a reason her Quirk is called [Oasis]."
As Nia ducked and dodged the streams, trying to get close to Vivi, she racked her bain trying to find a way to actually damage her opponent she caught sight of someone:
From within the stands, a tall man in a top hat with a pigeon on his shoulder watched, his attention on Nia. Beside him were a blonde man with a rectanglur, Pinnochio like nose and a beautiful blonde woman in a red dress, with jacket and hat.
They were Rob Lucci, his best friend Kaku and their colleage Stussy. Having a day off from the HPSC, they had decided to check out the Sports Fest. So far, they were mildy impressed, but not too interested. That was until Nia, Lucci's niece, came onto stage.
"LEPOARD POINT: LEOPARD MAN!" Nia called out, transforming yet again, this time her body much more brawnier, but just as fast, as she stretched her index fingers forward in a jabbing motion. "SHIGAN: MADARA!"
Nia caught Vivi off guard and started jabbing her now clawed fingers at the princess, who simoply turned into sand and water to delfect the attacks…only to find, as Nia pulled her arms back, that she couldn't move.
Glancing down, the princess saw that Nia had wrapped her tail around her waist: her now BLACKENED tail.
Nia used this to bring her fists together and place them onto Vivi's stomach, before she roared:
"ROKUSHIKI OGI: ROKUOGAN!"
The resulting shockwave sent Vivi flying out of bounds and tumbling in a heap on the grass. Nia then relaxed her body, the leopard spots and fur disappearing as she hurried over to the princess and helped her up, making sure she wasn't too hurt. Vivi smiled warmly, proud of her friend.
"NEFATARI VIVI IS OUT OF BOUNDS! VICTORY TO NIA!" Midnight declared.
Cheers erupted from the crowd, and Lucci stood up to applaud his niece, a proud smile on his face.
"WOHOO!" Kaku beamed. "THAT'S MY GODNIECE DOWN THERE! MY GODNIECE BEAT AN ELEMENTAL!"
Strussy gently pulled Kaku down, but she shot Nia a smile and wink as the wto girls left the arena.
"I'm sorry, Vivi…" Nia started, but the blue haired girl shushed her.
"If papa was here, I'd have done the same." Was all she said.
DEVIL
"Let's have ourselves a good match, Friend Seryu!" Penny smiled as she and Seryu plus Koro stepped onto the ring next.
"Show me just how dedicated to justice you really are!"
Seryu and Koro showed themselves to be a formidable tag team, with Seryu first having Koro transform her right arm into its Justice Ball & Chain configuration as she used it in tandem with Koro's own assault, the cute little dog creature growing in size and sprouting buff arms.
However, Penny was skilled in her own, having scanned the Quirks of all of Class 1-A and 1-B with their permission, she started out with Inasa's [Whirlwind], which created a pair of arm cannons that fired charged-up bursts of wind.
Koro raced to face Penny head on, swining a fist at her, only to have the force repelled by [Full Counter] and send the dog flying…and Penny nearly falling to her knees.
'I'm not used to this!' she mused, her eyes widening in shock when she saw that some of the skin on her arm was peeling off, revealing metal underneath….but this was soon forgotten as she caught Koro chomp on Seyru's arms and change one to normal and another to a drill.
"JUSTICE LANCE!" The brunette roared, aiming to knock Penny down. Penny quickly sent her blades to delay/deflect, and caught the drill with her bare hands, sending Seryu skyward before she activated her jet boots to follow.
Quickly catching up to her opponent, Penny brought her fingers together and slapped Seyru before returning her hands together.
"RELEASE!"
Seyru began to fall, but grabbed Penny and dragged her down. Penny's jets tried and tried, but the failed and the two girls crashed to the stadium floor, a mushroom cloud erupting from the impact.
Everyone was on edge, hoping the two girls were okay….As the smoke and dust cleared, a silohette could be made out…
It was a shocked Seyru, standing over Penny….who was now missing an arm, and whose arm socket revealed wire and electricity instead of blood. And not only that, but…some skin on Penny's face was gone, revealing metal in its place.
"Oh no...I didn't want anyone to see this..." Penny whimpered fearfully, trying to hide as she ran out.
"Friend Penny! Wait!" Seyru called out in worry. "It's alright! Come back!"
But Penny wasn't listening.
DEVIL
Rosa and Shouji's match was pretty straightforward. Rosa simply took on the property of cement from the floor of the arena and used it to match Shouji's behemoth strength. The plump girl blushed as she felt the multi-armed boy's muscles even in her cement state.
However, that gave Shouji the opening he needed to throw her out of bounds. Afterward, he helped her up as she disengaged her transformation, pouting in disappointment at her loss.
"You did good."
Rosa stared up at Shouji and even though he had his mask on, she could see that he was smiling. This caused the big girl to flush a bright pink on her chubby face.
DEVIL
Next up was Mipha and Nimona's match. Nimona's Quirk, [Changeling], granted her powerful animal transformation abilities but Mipha was skilled in Fishman Karate and showed that during their fight.
"SPEAR WAVE!"
Combining her [Wellspring] Quirk with Fishman Jujutsu, Mipha sent a spear-shaped burst of water at Nimona, who turned into a dolphin, swam right through it and then turned into a gorilla to deliver a double downward strike.
"BANANA SLAMMAH!"
Mipha crossed her arms, coating them in Armament Haki as Nimona's gorilla fists collided with them. The Zora Princess then broke Nimona's guard and pulled her fist back, the transformed girl unable to react in time.
"MIGHTY RELIANT PIERCING!"
Nimona was sent flying like a bullet into the wall, transforming into an armadillo to withstand the impact with her hard shell before rolling on the grass and unfolding in a daze, transforming back to normal afterward. Mipha quickly hurried over to tend to whatever injuries she may have caused.
DEVIL
"ALRIGHT, IT'S TIME FOR THE SEMI-FINAL MATCH! IN THE RED CORNER, WE HAVE MARCO NUI, THE MYSTERIOUS ALIEN AVENGER! AND HIS CHOSEN OPPONENT, HE ALMOST DIDN'T ENLIST AT UA BUT HAD A CHANGE OF HEART, INASA YOARASHI!"
Inasa smiled. "Let's have ourselves a hot-blooded match, Marco!"
"You got it!" Marco smirked, Click chirping in excitement.
"BEGIN!" Midnight hollered and instantly, both boys took to the air, firing wind blades at each other, which were repelled. Inasa quickly shielded himself in wind and tried to ram into Marco, who barely dodged the attacks before drawing Click in shield mode to tank one of said hits; the force of which was so strong it returned to bio-droid to the stadium ground.
"Let's see how good that defense is….WIND FLY SANDTWISTER!" Marco called out as he willed and motioned a tornado of sand, dirty, pebbles and litter to race upwards, hitting Inasa head on.
The hot blooded boy smirked; he'd thought about this long ago! If he could snuff out flames, pushing away some dirt would be a cinch….but then he realized he lost sight of Marco as he shifted through the twister's contents.
"Inasa!"
The boy turned to see Marco behind him, now ready to slam Click right into him. He sent out a blade of wind, but Marco caught it and then slammed his shield into his foe's face, sending him reeling downwards….
Inasa fixed his stature and began charing up two tornado punches, but Marco blitzed him and hit again, knocking the wind out of hoe foe, ho crashed to the floor.
"MARCO NUI WINS!"
"Awesome...I've never seen someone with more hot-bloodedness than me when it comes to manipulating the wind..." Inasa breathed heavily as Marco helped him up.
"Hey, you're pretty hot-blooded to me….and sorry I used…"
"Hey! Hey!" Inasa cut him off. "A real hero uses all options and tools. Hotblooded as it was, you can't hold back l;ike Todoroki did! I am proud to have fought and lost to you."
Click chirped in agreement as Inasa gave a smile before both boys headbutted each other, creating a shockwave that stunned everyone.
"I think Marco found himself a new friend." Izuku chuckled.
"Well, it's almost time for you and Koby's match, Izuku. You're the final bout!" Kohaku said.
Izuku smiled and stood up to get ready, Koby doing the same with the encouragement of his classmates in 1-A.
DEVIL
Meanwhile, Recovery Girl and Tsunade had finished up their healing of Ben. Shoto had been allowed to leave earlier since Ben had done a good job healing him from the beating that he gave him before letting Shoto blast him to kingdom come.
"Honestly, today's youth are a bunch of self-sacrificing idiots..." Recovery Girl grumbled.
"Well, considering how many glory hounds are still out there, I think we could use a few idiots." Tsunade mused, just as Penny came in, panting and trying to hide.
"Goodness dearie!" Recovery girl hollered, startling the poor girl, who tried to hide away, only to walk into Kazuya.
"Penny, what's wrong?" The Proud Serpahim asked. "You ran out so suddenly."
He then moved to see the entire crew (save Izuku), looking at her with worry clear on their faces. Yes, even Katsuki seemed worried, or at least trying to comfort Kirby.
Penny racked her brain in a futile attempt to come up with something, ANYTHING she could use for a lie to cover this up…but finding none, she came clean:
"I…I'm not a normal girl." Penny sighed, giving her friends a ful,l view of her metallic boy and the cricuits that she had in place of veins. "I was…built. Not born."
The room fell silent.
"My father…he made me." Penny tried to explain. "I feel, I learn…but I can't bleed. I can be repaired…I'll never grow truly old, just get upgraded…"
The room was still silent
"I just…I just wanted to be accepted."
"…And what's wrong with how you were made?" Kirby asked, breaking the silence. "Seriously, explain that to me. What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing." Kazuya said. "You should be proud of who you are. If others care for such a platry manner, that is on them."
"Yeah, not really seeing a problem here." Makoto mused. "You guys?"
Eeryone shook their heads or muttered 'no', 'not at all' or 'not really.'
…This was not what Penny had been expecting.
"You're….all taking this incredibly well." she noted,
"Penny, we were grown in tubes from the DNA of dead people and Kaido's right hand man. You are way more normal than we will ever be." Kohaku smiled.
"Wait, we were supposed to think you were 'normal?'" Chikara asked. "What even IS normal? Cause to me? Its boring and not cool at all. Which you are."
"Not to mention, normal usually translates to useless, which you are not." Shun added.
Bakura bonked him on the head for that.
"What these two mean is…Penny. You're you. That's all that matters to us."
"The kind, adorable sweetheart who wants to help everyone!" Himiko beamed.
"And whose always combat ready!" Hilda and Rosa cheered together.
"Penny. I'M a robot too, remember?" Marco reminded his friend. "Why on earth would I think any less of you?"
The more her friends spoke, the more Penny realized something; with this group? She had no reason to ever fear being treated like an unnatural creature or monster.
"In case we didn;'t say it before, we're saying it now!" Katsuki beamed as the whole crew took in a deep breath and declared:
"WELCOME TO THE CREW, PENNY POLEDINA!"
Tears crept out from Penny's eyes as she suddenly felt someone grab her hand and turned around to see Ben, who was still in bed but looking much better, a gentle smile on his face causing the android girl to blush in response.
"Hey."
"Hello." Penny replied.
Sumiko then cast a healing spell that brought Ben back to his seat, and then manifested a new arm and some skin to cover Penny up.
"Just to hold over for now." The Glutton said. "I'm sure Dorthoy and Maetel will be able to fix you up."
"Now, come on! We got a shjow to catch!" Makoto declared.
"Heck yeah! Our Captain is ready for the final battle!" Yaato grinned as everyone turned to the screen to see the fated final match between Izuku and Koby!
