Chapter 22

The Finals pt2

"WHOO! SORRY ABOUT THE LONG WAIT EVERYONE! NOW THAT WE GOT ALL THAT ICE OUTTA THE WAY WE CAN FINALLY MOVE ON TO THE MATCH!" The crowd cheered in excitement as the festival was finally resuming after a long wait to clean up Todoroki's ice from the previous match.

"ITS TIME TO WELCOME NEW COMPETITORS! HE'S DARK AND HAS A GLOOMY VIBE TO HIM! WITH THE ADDITION OF HAVING AN BIRD FOR A HEAD! IT'S FUMIKAGE TOKOYAMI FROM THE HERO COURSE!"

Tokoyami walked out onto the field as the stadium cheered at his appearance. As he continued walking forwards, he glanced up towards the sky and could see that the sun was directly above them shining its blinding light down upon everyone.

"Of course..."

"VERSUS! HIS VERY OWN CLASSMATE WHO HAS MADE QUITE THE IMPRESSION SO FAR! IT'S IZUKU MIDORIYA!"

Izuku's breath shook as he walked out receiving a cheer from the audience that somehow dwarfed the one for Tokoyami. Who Midoriya couldn't tell if he was currently glaring at him right now, his raven eyes piecing through the green haired boy like butter or if that's just how he normally looked at people. Izuku fidgeted, trying to look away from Tokoyami's gaze. The raven headed boy was powerful. Izuku saw that firsthand during the Calvary battle. And his quirk Dark Shadow was all the more fascinating to Izuku as it was a living sentient quirk. Sentient quirks were rare in the world, and on that fact alone must have given Tokoyami a huge advantage getting into U.A besides his own skill.

Midoriya gave a small sigh as he looked at his hand. "Tokoyami is incredible...His quirk is incredible...Being able to control and coexist with a living quirk is so cool. It's no wonder he made it into U.A."

He clenched his fist "If I want to have any chance at beating him, then I can't hold off on using one for all any longer...I have to use it." Izuku glanced up to the stands where Toshinori was watching with his chin resting on his hands. Toshinori nodded down to him, signaling that it was time.

"Young Midoriya. I want you to think of this sports festival as your debut. You are the fledging symbol of peace. The next All Might!"

"That's what being a hero is all about Midoriya! Heroes take chances!"

"I'm sorry Izuku...I wish things were different.."

Izuku came to a stop as he faced his opponent. "Mom...Sonic...All Might...Don't worry, I'll win this and make you all proud!"

"While keeping a smile on my face!"

Up in the stands with Class-1A, Iida crossed his arms with slight concern "So far Midoriya hasn't used his quirk once. Tokoyami is no slouch. If Midoriya wants to win this then I'm afraid he's going to have to use it without hopefully injuring himself." Iida spoke. Uraraka cupped her hands together before bringing them to her chest while nodding in worry.

"Let's go Izuku! Win this!" Sonic cheered before putting two fingers into his mouth and letting out a whistle. Todoroki sat behind them quietly, but he too was hoping for the green haired boy to win. After all, he still had to keep his promise on beating him.

"You must advance onto the next round Midoriya. So I can beat you with one hand."

Tokoyami looked at his opponent before speaking "Don't expect me to go easy on you just because we were teammates during the Calvary battle."

Midoriya nodded "R-Right, I don't expect anything less than us giving it our all!"

"ALRIGHT COMBATANTS! I WANT TO SEE A FLASHY BATTLE THIS TIME! READY?...BEGIN!" Present Mic shouted

"Dark Shadow! Throw him out of bounds!" Tokoyami commanded; the sentient quirk formed out of Tokoyami before it charged through the air towards Izuku. Its ghostly yellow eyes were dead set on the green haired boy while it's sharp claws that were made out of pure shadows were outstretched to its sides.

Midoriya yelped in fear right before he jumped out of the way of an attack. Dark shadow then attempted to grab the green haired boy before Izuku rolled under him. Midoriya quickly got up before he sent a punch into Dark shadows side...which did absolutely nothing. The sentient quirk stared at him before it began to growl.

"uh oh" Midoriya squeaked before he shrieked and ducked under a claw made of shadows. He jumped back once more barley dodging another attack that managed to slice the U.A standard gym shirt that Midoriya was wearing which left three tear marks on it but was then smacked and sent tumbling across the ground. Izuku rolled to the side dodging an attempt of being grabbed by Dark shadow before he then proceeded to run for his life around the arena while at the same time narrowly dodging attack after attack from the creature you might think you would see in a horror film.

"Woah...Dark Shadow is terrifying!" Kaminari shouted

"For real...I'm glad it's not me down there.." Sato said in agreement

Sonic only grimaced as he watched "Come on Izuku! Think! Use that noggin of yours!"

"KEEP DODGEING IZUKU! KEEP DODGEING! PRETEND IM PLAYING DODGE THE SPINDASH AGAIN! MAYBE I'LL TIRE IT OUT!??" Izuku screamed mentally as he continued to run around the arena

"DARK SHADOW SEEMS TO HAVE MIDORIYA RUNNING AROUND LIKE A HEADLESS CHICKEN!" Present Mic exclaimed as the entire stadium began to laugh as they watched Midoriya continue to run away from Dark Shadow who was closely on his tail. Up with Class-1A Bakugo was laughing like a mad man at the scene playing out in front of him.

Midoriya continued to run while at the same time trying to come up with some sort of plan that he can maybe use to win "There has to be something I can do! I won't be able to keep up with running away forever but I can't even hurt Dark Shadow! Maybe I could with one for all but I need to be careful with how I use it. Okay here it go-!"

But before Izuku could even turn around and activate one for all. Dark shadow had managed to cut the green haired boy off causing Midoriya to get practically closed lined by the tendril that connected Dark shadow to Tokoyami. While Midoriya was still on the ground dazed Dark shadow grabbed the boy by his arms before slamming and pinning him back down to the ground. Izuku coughed up bits of saliva while his vison turned blurry from the blow.

"WOAH WHAT A SLAM! IF MIDORIYA CAN'T GET OUT OF THIS THEN IT LOOKS TOKOYAMI WILL WIN DUE TO IMMOBALIZATION!"

"Stay down kid! If you know what's good for ya!" Dark Shadow warned

Midoriya gritted his teeth as he glared back at the yellow glowing eyes that stared back down at him. No...It can't end like this! Izuku has made it to far to get knocked out of the competition like this. Dark Shadow had his wrists pinned with its claws so he couldn't even use his quirk to attack. Izuku's legs were free but if he were to use them with one for all he would be sacrificing his ability to walk. But there has to be something he can do. Maybe Dark Shadow has a weakness he's missing? A weakness that Izuku could exploit?

Izuku's face then scrunched up as he was momentarily blinded from the sun's rays from above as Dark Shadow had slightly moved its head which was previously blocking the sunlight from Izuku.

Midoriya's eyes widened "Wait...Of course! Light!"

The user of one for all then brought his leg up and managed to kick Dark Shadow in the face. It might not have hurt the sentient quirk, but the action did cause it to let go of Izuku's wrists which was all Midoriya needed. Izuku's left pinkie finger began to glow before he flicked it unleashing massive amounts of power that sent Dark Shadow flying off of him and into the air.

"Tch! This power!" Tokoyami grunted as he covered his face from the harsh winds that were generated. Some of the spectators in the closer stands could even feel it!

"Alright! Izuku finally used his quirk!" Sonic exclaimed in excitement.

"But did he hurt himself again!?" Uraraka asked with concern and worry for Izuku. Iida only stayed silent as he continued to watch the events unfold in front of him.

Midoriya got back up to his feet as he clutched onto his pinkie finger. It was obviously swollen and bruised, and it definitely hurts. But he wasn't sure if it was actually broken like the many times of what would happen to his fingers if he used one for all beforehand. Was he starting to finally get a bit of control? He wasn't sure.

His eyes shot up as he heard a screech from Dark Shadow who was currently charging straight at him. Izuku clenched his fists but instead of running away he did the unexpected and ran straight towards the murder bird. Right before the two made contact Midoriya suddenly dropped to ground sliding under Dark Shadow who almost grazed the green haired boy with his claws.

"Huh?" Before Dark Shadow could fully turn around Izuku quickly got back up on his feet before he jumped on top of Dark Shadows back.

"Wha-? Hey! Get off!"

Dark Shadow began to wildly thrash around, trying to shake Midoriya off as the green haired boy held on for dear life with his arms wrapped around Dark Shadows neck and his legs wrapped around its skinny torso.

"Dark Shadow shake him off!" Tokoyami commanded once more. Dark Shadow kept on trying to throw the boy off of him but to no avail, as Izuku was hugging him very tightly.

As Dark Shadow continued to struggle Izuku pointed his right pinkie finger towards the ground before he flicked, propelling both him and Dark Shadow high into the air due to the gust of wind created. He continued to do this with each finger, enduring the pain as they got higher and higher with each flick he made.

"WHAT IS MIDORIYA DOING!!? IS HE INSANE!?" Present Mic shouted as everyone looked up into the sky at them in shock.

Aizawa watched before a small smile crept up his face, realizing what Izuku was doing "Your smart kid, but your also crazy."

"Is he crazy!?? He could die from that height!" Mina squealed while the rest of Class-1A only looked up in horror for their classmate.

Sonic only smirked "Looks like Izuku is using that noggin of his and has a plan!...Despite how drastic it seems!"

With Class-1B. Their reactions were mostly the same! Classic Sonic's jaw was dropped as now Izuku and Dark Shadow were at a height that passed how tall the stadium was! Classic Sonic didn't think this was what Toshi meant by "Kicking mean booty".

"This was NOT what I meant! What the hell are you up too kid!?" Toshinori thought with worry.

Tokoyami could only stare up into the sky, trying to figure out what Midoriya was up too before his eyes widened in realization.

"No...How does he? DARK SHADOW! COME BACK DOWN! NOW!" Tokoyami screamed, but Dark Shadow was far too high up for it to hear him.

Place a three-story building on top of the stadium and that would equal the height Midoriya and Dark Shadow were at. Izuku looked back down to the ground before he gasped seeing how far up they were. He shook his head as he didn't have time to be scared. He had one finger left and if he doesn't pull this off correctly than he can kiss his dreams of being a hero goodbye.

"What do you think you're doing kid!? Are you trying to kill yourself!?"

"Sorry Dark Shadow! But if all shadows have one weakness in common!" With all the strength he could muster up Izuku managed to twist Dark Shadow around having him face the sky while the green haired boy was now hanging onto dear life.

"It's light!"

Dark Shadow looked back up in front of him to the sky only to find himself blinded by the sun. He hissed in pain as his form shrunk.

"T-T-Too Bright!" He cried out

The two then began to plummet all the way back down. The crowd gasped in horror as they watched them fall. Some of the heroes that were watching were even debating with themselves if they should jump in and save them. But Izuku had a plan. As the two began to rapidly approach the ground, Midoriya's last finger began to glow before he aimed down at Dark Shadow and flicked, creating a gust of wind that sent Dark Shadow crashing down into the ground below with the help of the earth's gravity while at the same time breaking Izuku's fall.

But Midoriya's landing was still rough as he was a good 25 feet in the air. Midoriya was sure he had sprained his ankle from the fall but due to the adrenaline rush he was feeling he couldn't feel any pain at the moment.

Izuku groaned as he slowly got up. He looked to the side and could see Dark Shadow was unconscious on the ground. He looked towards Tokoyami and could see the boy was staring between the two of them with wide eyes.

"H-H-How did you?-" The raven headed boy didn't have time to speak as he was caught off guard by Izuku suddenly rushing towards him. The green haired boy grabbed him and began to push him towards the edge of the fighting stage.

Present Mic had a look of disbelief on his face before he quickly recollected himself, adjusting his shades "I-I-I DONT BELIEVE IT! M-MIDORIYA JUST FELL FROM AN MONSTROUS HEIGHT AND GOT BACK UP LIKE IT WAS NOTHING AND IS NOW TRYING TO PUSH TOKOYAMI OUT OF BOUNDS! WHAT TYPE OF WILL POWER IS THIS KID FUELED BY!?"

The entire stadium roared as they watched Midoriya push Tokoyami closer and closer towards the edge. Tokoyami tried to fight back, sending a punch into Izuku's face which caused his nose to start bleeding. But Izuku gritted his teeth as he kept pushing on. Suddenly Tokoyami grabbed the collar of Midoriya's shirt before turning him around and now started to try and push him out of bounds!

"No! I can't lose!"

Midoriya was now a couple of steps away from losing before Midoriya grabbed Tokoyami's arm and similar to what Izuku did to Bakugo during the mock battles he threw Tokoyami over his shoulders and slammed him into the ground out of bounds.

Midnight raised her hand "Tokoyami is out of bounds! Midoriya advances onto the next match!"

The crowd erupted as Midoriya just stood there still grasping on Tokoyami's arm in a mixture of awe and shock still processing his victory over Tokoyami. The raven headed boy laid on the ground stunned as he tried to catch his breath. Somewhere at home a green haired woman was crying tears of joy for her baby. Class-1A was in disbelief at everything that just happened.

"Ha! He did it!" Sonic shot up from his seat before he disappeared in a blur.

Uraraka gave a sigh of relief as she melted against her seat "Man that was so nerve wracking! I can't believe Deku just fell from the sky and won!"

"That's just a classic Midoriya maneuver! Always putting himself in danger to win in the end!" Iida exclaimed

Izuku continued to stand there in thought before letting go of Tokoyami's arm. But before he could fully pull away Tokoyami grabbed his wrist.

"T-Tell me...Did you know? About Dark Shadow's weakness?" Tokoyami asked weakly, still trying to catch his breath

Midoriya shook his head "No...I guess you could say I made an educated guess. I figured since shadows disappear due to light, that Dark Shadow would have a similar weakness to it." He explained

Tokoyami stared at the boy before he closed his eyes and chuckled "Heh...well played."

After lending a hand and helping the raven headed boy up Izuku began to limp his way towards the tunnel he came out. Now starting to feel the excruciating pain in all of his fingers as well as pain in his right ankle that would spike up with every step he took now that the adrenaline rush from falling was wearing off. Midoriya heard a whoosh of wind to his side and turned to find Sonic smirking at him.

"You're first match and you already break all of your fingers!...Eh, I guess it could have ended worse!" Sonic shrugged before he ran over and lent a shoulder for the green haired boy to put his arm around as he helped him walk to the tunnel. Although it was difficult considering the height difference.

Izuku gave a pained laugh "T-True, and I have you, Maurice and All Might to thank for! I-I don't think I could have ever beaten Tokoyami if it wasn't for you guys helping me prepare."

"Leave some credit for yourself buddy! As of now let's just get you to Recovery Girl so she can fix you up before your next match with Roki!" Sonic advised, which left a pit in the green haired boy's stomach.

"Umm...Maurice? Where are you taking me?" Pony questioned as Classic Sonic led her through the corridors of the stadium by holding her hand.

Classic Sonic looked over his shoulders at the blond girl with horns before smirking and pointing forwards. Pony tilted her head curiously at the small blue hedgehog before giving a small smile of her own.

"Okay then but let's not take too long! I don't know how long the other matches before mine will last." Pony explained

There were only two matches before hers, the match where she would have to face off against Reiko. Pony's feelings on this whole situation between her, Maurice, and Reiko were...weird. She didn't understand why she was feeling like this. Whenever she would see Maurice and Reiko be friendly to each other she couldn't help but feel jealous. She didn't have any hatred for Yanagi, and she wasn't crushing or having any feelings for Maurice. God no. Which is what made this all the more confusing to her. Why was she feeling like this?

Pony looked at Classic Sonic who was still dragging her along to wherever he wanted to take her too. Her mind flashed back to the moment from the U.A Entrance exam where Classic Sonic grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the falling debris caused by the zero pointer. From that moment a friendship was born, and she first truly knew what it was like to have a friend. A friend to confide and trust in. A friend that will have your back no matter what...A friend that actually cared about you.

A warm smile formed on Pony's face "Maurice...Thank you...For choosing to be my friend."

"Why would I ever want to be friends with a freak like you?!"

Pony clutched the fabric on her chest as a memory from a long time ago came to her. A terrible, painful memory that stopped her from trusting and counting on people. After that memory she became too scared to open up and form new friendships with the exception of Classic Sonic. And what Shinso said to Maruice didn't help her at all. She shook her head, pushing that awful memory away.

Classic Sonic rounded a conner before coming to a stop and letting go of Pony's hand. Pony looked forward and was certainly surprised at who she saw. Standing there was Shinso...but in a chicken costume???

10 minutes earlier

"There's no way I'm wearing that!" Shinso exclaimed, pointing at the chicken costume laying on the ground.

Classic Sonic furrowed his brows in annoyance before he wrote on a sticky note and in a blur jumped up and stuck it on Shinso's forehead. Shinso grumbled before he took it off and read it.

"Last I recall you said you would do ANYTHING to make up for controlling Pony's mind AND for talking smack about her!"

"Yeah and I said I would apologize too her for it! But why do I have to apologize while wearing that!" Shinso questioned

"And where did you even get that thing?"

The blue hedgehog grinned as he thought back. After Midoriya left them in his waiting room for his match Classic Sonic had asked Toshinori an strange question and that was if he could borrow some money. Toshinori gave him a curious look but said sure. After receiving the money Classic Sonic used his speed to leave the stadium and ran to a nearby store while at the same type making sure no pro hero saw him. He looked around for a bit before his eyes landed upon a chicken costume, a mischievous smirk formed on his face before he made sure he had enough and zoomed out of the store with it after leaving the money at checkout which startled the bored cahier because of the money's sudden appearance.

Classic Sonic wrote something before using his speed to quickly put it on Shinso's face. Shinso swiped it off before looking at it.

"Because it's the least you could do. And besides, I have worse things you could wear while apologizing. :) "

Shinso looked back up at Classic Sonic who was giving him a sly smirk.

"Okay..."

Shinso gave a long sigh with a slight look of embarrassment on his face as he stood there in costume "Do I really have to do this?"

Classic Sonic crossed his arms firmly

"Fine..." Shinso groaned, the indigo haired boy proceeded to do the chicken dance flapping his arms around and doing little spins. Classic Sonic started to laugh while Pony only stood there watching not sure on how to react.

"Tsunotori, I want to say I'm sorry and would like to apologize for taking over your mind without your permission." Shinso spoke as he did a little spin and kept flapping his arms

Shinso's cheeks began to redden up "I would also like to apologize for talking negative and insulting you too Maurice. I wasn't aware you were able to hear anything in that state but that doesn't excuse my actions."

With one final spin, Shinso then bowed "I hope one day you find it in yourself to forgive me."

At first Pony blinked as she stood there puzzled, but then she brought a hand to her mouth letting out a quiet giggle. She put her hands behind her back before she walked forward and stopped right in front of Shinso. The indigo haired boy stared at her before he broke eye contact, looking away nervously. A teasing smirk formed on Pony's face before she used one of her hands and plucked a feather off his costume.

"You're forgiven. And please, call me Pony!"

Shinso stood there a bit surprised "R-Really? Even after every nasty thing I said about you?"

Pony nodded "Really"

"Right, Th-Thank you...Pony" He spoke before he turned towards Classic Sonic. "Can I take this stupid thing off now?"

Classic Sonic held up a finger before he wrote on a sticky note, once he was done he used his speed and smacked it on Shinso's cheek.

"Can you quit with that?" Shinso grumbled before he grabbed and looked down at it.

"Say Cheese!"

"Cheese? What are you-" The indigo haired looked up to find Classic Sonic holding up a camera with a smirk on his face.

"Crap..." He mumbled

FLASH!

"Mwah! There you go! Your fingers are all fixed up!" Recovery Girl exclaimed as Izuku rubbed his slightly reddened cheek where he was kissed on by Recovery Girl.

"Just try to go easy next time.." Recovery Girl advised before she suddenly sent a fist into Toshinori's side "Have you been pressuring him again Toshinori!? Why would you make him drop from the sky as an attempt to win!?"

Toshinori hissed as he rubbed his side "Th-That wasn't my idea! That was all him!"

"Either way it's your responsibility to look after this boy!" She scolded before she pointed her cane at Midoriya who yelped and put his hands up in the air in fear.

"And it's YOUR responsibility to take care of yourself! I don't want to hear you knocking on my door every day!"

"Y-Y-Yes mam! I-I'll try to be more careful next time!" Midoriya shivered

"B-But I don't know if I can promise that with my next match against Todoroki.."

Sonic who was laying on a nearby patients' bed with his arms behind his head snickered before he suddenly got up. "Well, it's great that your healed up Izuku! I'll see you and Toshie in a bit." He said before he began to walk towards the door

"Wait, you're leaving already Sonic?" Izuku asked

"Yup! My match with Yaoyorozu is about to start!" Sonic reminded him

"O-Oh! Right!" Midoriya began before he reached behind him and pulled out his hero journal "Would you like to use my notebook? I have some data on Yaoyorozu that might be able to help."

Sonic shook his head "Thanks, but no thanks! I appreciate it but I want to see what she's capable of with my own eyes!"

"O-Okay, good luck Sonic!" Izuku smiled

"Yes, fight well Young Sonic." Toshinori nodded

Sonic jerked a thumbs up before he closed the door behind him. As he walked down the hall, he came to a stop and shivered. Sonic didn't know why but he felt like something...bad, just happened at that very moment. Like the universe was telling him that something or someone just appeared. And that the whole world was now in huge danger.

"Probably just cold..."

"ALRIGHT LET'S GET STRAIGHT ONTO THE NEXT MATCH! OUR FIRST COMBATANT! SHE'S THE MASTER OF CREATION FROM CLASS 1-A! IT'S MOMO YAOYOROZU!"

Momo stood there in the arena holding her arm as the crowd cheered for her. Her eyes were filled with unsureness, and inside she couldn't deny that she was extremely nervous as she stared and studied her opponent in front of her. Ever since it was revealed who her opponent would be she was strategizing and coming up with potential ways to take him down. She needed to be careful. If she were to even blink during this fight then it could be over.

"AND THE SECOND COMBATANT! HE'S THE OLDER BROTHER OF THE WINNER OF OUR FIRST MATCH! THE STUDENT WHO MADE 1ST PLACE ON THE ENTRANCE EXAM AND SET THIS WHOLE FESTIVAL OFF WITH HIS STUDENT PLEDGE! WE'VE ALL SEEN THE CRAZY SPEEDS THIS GUY CAN REACH! FROM THE HERO COURSE! IT'S THE FASTEST THING ALIVE! SONIC THE HEDGEHOOOOOOG!"

Sonic smiled and waved towards the stands as the stadium practically exploded hearing his name. Throughout the festival Sonic had performed skills and feats that had definitely caught the attention of the audience. Even some of the pro heroes watching! Sonic glanced up to the stands before making eye contact with Classic Sonic who nodded down to him and gave his future self a thumbs up. The blue hedgehog returned one before turning his attention to the dark haired girl before him.

"Ready to rock and roll Yaoyorozu!?"

Momo looked surprised not expecting a conversation but only for a split second before nodding "You could say that, I assume your excited for this Sonic?"

"You bet! This whole festival has had my blood pumping! Especially from having to try my best in front of all these people!" Sonic said, his excitement showing in his voice

"Yes...I-It is quite the experience." Momo agreed

"Sure is!" Sonic said as he stretched his arm " I hope your excited too! Don't forget our agreement about us trying our best against each other!" He reminded

Momo blinked "Of course! I still fully intend on giving it my all! If I want to become a hero than I must give it my everything!" She stated

Sonic smirked as he got into a fighting stance "As am I!"

Yaoyorozu nodded as she examined Sonic in front of her. More specifically that trademark smirk he always had on his face. Recently after the U.S.J, Momo had become interested in the blue hedgehog. At first, she felt a bit repulsed by him and how he acted. Now he was nowhere near as bad as that perv Mineta or the angry delinquent Bakugo. But he was the kind that didn't take anything seriously and thought everything was a big joke while having that cocky attitude and stupid grin on his face. Her opinion on him was even confirmed during the mock battles as from the observation room she had watched him treat the training like it was a game.

Being a pro hero is serious, it's a dangerous game to be one while acting careless. That's how innocent lives can be lost. And if Sonic wasn't going to take being a pro hero seriously than too Momo it would be safer for Sonic himself and for others if he didn't become one.

But after what happened at the U.S.J, after Sonic didn't just save her and Jiro from that group of villains but the entire class and even All Might himself! Her opinion on him changed, and instead of feeling repulsed she now was curious about Sonic. Since the schoolyear started Momo always noticed that smirk he always seemed to have plastered to his face. A smirk that was full of smugness and cockiness. The very same smirk he was wearing now.

But after the U.S.J, she saw it in a different light. She could see more than a cocky smile but a smile that was confident and gave off a feeling of comfort. Like everything was going to be alright. Kind of similar to when All Might would flash his signature smile.

Momo wondered...How could someone like Sonic be filled with so much confidence not just in himself but in others? How could he be put in a dangerous situation, be threatened by villains, and even have death closely on his tail chasing him throughout the U.S.J...and still have that smirk present on his face? Where did he get that confidence from? That confidence that allowed him to take on a hoard of villains? To give a speech in front of hundreds of thousands of people? Where?...How? She wanted to know...

"BEGIN!"

"Here we go! Best of luck!" Sonic blasted forward before jumping into the air and curling into a ball to perform a homing attack.

Yaoyorozu gasped as her thoughts were cut short as she quickly created a shield out of her arm, raising it up and blocking the spiky blue ball that managed to push her back from the impact. Midair Sonic performed another homing attack using Yaoyorozu's shield to jump over and behind her. Momo summoned a metal pole out of her right hand swinging it at Sonic who jumped back. Sonic rushed forwards sending a barrage of kicks into her shield. Momo bit her lip as she stood her ground, slowly getting pushed back with each fast kick that landed. Sonic twisted his body before sending a powered round house kick into Momo's shield which broke it in half and sent her tumbling across the ground with a cry.

"WHAT AN START! SONIC SEEMS TO HAVE YAOYOROZU STUCK ON THE DEFENSE!"

"This match is different from the others. It shows us what happens when you pit an offensive quirk and defensive quirk up against one another." Aizawa commented

Up in the stands with Class 1-A, after getting back from Recovery girls office wanting to see Sonic's match. Izuku was writing in his notebook as he was in his thoughts watching the match.

"Mr. Aizawa is right. With an almost unstoppable power like Sonic's against a quirk as versatile with seemingly endless possibilities like Yaoyorozu's it's anyone's game," Midoriya thought while unknowingly muttering

"Yaoyorozu might be able to create something that can give her an advantage over Sonic's overwhelming speed. But from what I've heard she has a limit to how much she can create with her lipids while Sonic's stamina seems to be limitless! I'm not sure if I've ever seen him or Maurice tired! Not to mention she has to know the key components and molecular structure of said object she wants to create if she wants her quirk to work. So that's another limit her quirk has. But Sonic rejected the information I had on her as he wanted to see what she could do for himself so he may or may not know about these weakness...Hmm maybe if-"

"OH SHUT IT NERD!" Bakugo shouted from above

"oh! S-Sorry!" Izuku squeaked

Sonic sprinted forward as Momo got to her knees before she turned around and quickly threw her arm forward as three small objects flew out from being created. The blue hedgehog came to a stop as his eyes landed on the objects in front of him.

His brow raised "What the?"

On the ground in front of him were three russian nesting dolls. Sonic looked at them curiously before they suddenly exploded.

BANG!

"AHH!" Sonic screamed as he dropped to a knee while covering his eyes. His ears were ringing while his vision had turned white for a split second from the flash of light before he started seeing double of everything around him. He slowly got to his feet but was experiencing a loss of balance.

"WAS THAT AN FLASHBANG!?? THAT'S MILITARY IS THAT EVEN ALLOWED!? SONIC IS NOW DISORIENTED!" Present Mic exclaimed

"As long as what she creates is non-lethal then its allowed!" Midnight confirmed

Momo sprang to her feet "His enhanced hearing is working against him! This is my chance!"

She pulled up her shirt revealing her stomach before it glowed pink and created a launcher or gun of some type. Out of her hand Momo created a metal sphere that was the size of her palm before she loaded it into the gun she created before aiming it at Sonic who was still rubbing his eyes. Sonic got back up to his feet trying to keep his balance as he looked ahead with half lidded eyes and could see after images of Yaoyorozu aiming something at him. Did she create a gun?!

Momo fired as the spherical ball flew towards Sonic, it suddenly exploded as a net came out of it and wrapped around Sonic. The blue hedgehog fell to the ground struggling to get out of it, he was still feeling the effects of the flashbang and this net Yaoyorozu created was made out of some type of metal.

"SONIC IS TRAPPED! IS HE OUT OF THE FINALS!?"

"Sonic, are you able to move?" Midnight questioned

Without answering Sonic managed to tuck into a ball and started to spin rapidly, it took a few seconds but the net that had Sonic captured was shortly shredded into pieces. Sonic winked and gave an thumbs up towards Midnight.

"All good!"

Momo was shocked "H-How? I specifically made that net out of tungsten! One of the strongest materials on earth!" She exclaimed

"Heh, these quills aren't just for show!" Sonic remarked before he disappeared in a blur before he reappeared right in front of Momo who quickly created a shield and blocked a strike that sent her skidding back.

The blue blur began to run around Yaoyorozu creating afterimages of himself to confuse her, similar to what he did against Izuku. Momo created another metal rod before she started to swing aimlessly at the many Sonics only for the bar to go through them.

"Woah! How's Sonic doing that!?" Uraraka exclaimed

"It's called a speed mirage. He's simply moving faster than the eye can process." Iida explained

"My older brother Tensei or Ingenium tends to use this trick time from time to confuse the villains he goes up against. It's quite effective."

Midoriya nodded remembering how Sonic used it against him. It cost him breaking his hands to counter it. How was Yaoyorozu going too?

Momo was knocked to the ground from an attack by Sonic. Using the pole she created she slowly got up as she gritted her teeth. Despite this looking bad for her she still had one more card up her sleeve. She began to create more metal spheres out of her body before she would throw them all around her in random directions. The dozens of spheres she made then exploded a glue-like substance all over the ground. Sonic who was running was stopped in his tracks as he stepped into the glue, all of the afterimages of himself instantly disappearing.

"What? What is this stuff?! I can't move!" Sonic said as he attempted to move his feet but was unable to as the glue quickly hardened keeping him stuck.

"Glue! Courtesy of student Kojiro Bando from Class 1-B!" Momo informed him with a smirk of her own. After it was revealed that it was Sonic that she would be facing, she remembered seeing a student from the obstacle race who could dispense glue from his head. It took a while to find him but after she did, she asked him what his glue was composed of so she could create it figuring that it would be a great countermeasure to Sonic's speed. Kojiro agreed to tell her, most likely because of the fact that it was a very attractive girl asking him.

"And that isn't some normal glue! A whole bus wouldn't be able to get out of it!" She continued

Sonic looked at her a bit surprised at this statement before he grinned "Let's put it to the test than shall we?"

The blue hedgehog than began to rapidly punch the glue that kept him stuck, creating a white blur from his gloves. Momo created another net out of her hand as well as another bar before she began to walk towards him. "I told you it's pretty much impo-"

The dark haired girl cut herself off as she could see cracks were starting to form on the glue with each punch that landed. Sonic cocked his fist back and in one final strike the glue shattered freeing him. Momo was in disbelief. Who...What was this guy?! Could anything stop him!? Was this where he got his confidence from? Because he was just so powerful!?

"I-I..."

Before she could speak Sonic started to charge up a spin dash before he shot towards her. For the last time Momo created a shield blocking the attack which ended up breaking her shield and sent her flying out of bounds.

"Yaoyorozu is out of bounds! Sonic is the winner!" Midnight announced as the crowd exploded in cheers.

Momo just laid there on the ground with shock in her eyes. She...lost...And there was nothing she could do about it. Sonic was just way out of her league to beat. She wanted to show to everyone, to prove to everyone, to her classmates, to the pro heroes, to her parents that were always away from home. That she had it in her to become a hero. But she had lost...her very first match. No pro hero would take her under their wing now.

Momo sat up, with an obvious look of disappointment on her face. She felt like she might even start to cry. But than a gloved hand was put in front of her. Momo looked up to see Sonic with that smile of his lending a hand to her.

"Hey, what's with the look? Turn that frown upside down! They're not just cheering for me you know?" Sonic spoke, his tone soothing

Yaoyorozu looked at him, unsureness in her eyes if he was right before staring at his hand. She then took it as Sonic pulled her too her feet as the crowd continued to cheer and applaud the two.

"Sometimes, it's not bad to give off a performance..."

She couldn't stop shaking. How could she? Pony sat there nervously in her waiting room as the match between Uraraka and that pink skinned girl went on. She would have liked to watch but she needed to be somewhere alone where she could figure things out. To figure these feelings out. She felt like a broken record trying again and again to figure out...well everything! Her jealousy over Maurice's and Reiko's friendship, how she was going to beat Reiko in her upcoming match, old bad memories resurfacing, and on why she was starting to wish she was Maurices only friend! That she could have him all to herself. It was all so overwhelming and didn't make sense to the poor girl.

"UGHHH!" Pony groaned as she laid her head on the table. Suddenly a knock was heard on the door.

Her head shot up "C-Come in!"

The door creaked open as Classic Sonic peeked in. A smile was brought to his face as his eyes landed on Pony before he fully opened the door revealing himself.

"M-Maurice! Wh-What are you doing here!?" Pony asked in surprise, quickly standing up. The Blue hedgehog walked over before handing her a sticky note.

"I came by to wish you luck! I know you'll do great out there!"

"Oh! Th-Thank you Maurice...You don't know how much your support means to me..." Pony spoke as she began to nervously play with her hair.

Classic Sonic nodded with a warm smile, but then he tilted his head at her. Something about her seemed off. She seemed...distracted. She was awkwardly messing with hair while she kept her eyes directly on the ground, avoiding eye contact completely. And her tail that would occasionally be swifting from side to side had no movement. Classic Sonic wrote on his note pad before he handed it to her.

"You okay? You seem down?"

"Wha-? Noooooo! I'm fineeeee!" Pony claimed before giving off a mad grin "See!"

Classic Sonic just stared at her blankly with the occasional blink before giving a slight shrug. He scribbled down something else before once again handing it over.

"If you say so. I'm going to go check up on Reiko now. Catch you around?"

Pony's breath was caught in her throat as she read this. She turned away with her head lowered, her long blond bangs blocking her eyes from view. "Right...You go and do that..."

Classic Sonic's eyes slightly widened at the sudden coldness in her voice. Something was definitely wrong with her. Or did he say something wrong? The blue hedgehog began to reach out to her before he stopped himself in hesitation. Maybe she just wanted to be alone to prepare for her match.

Classic Sonic gave a small nod and waved before he turned around and left the room, not without looking back at her once more though with concern. Pony didn't turn back until she heard the door close. She sat down with a long sigh before she began to rub her temples.

"What is wrong with me!?"

Sonic lazily rested in his seat with his legs over the railing. The match between Uraraka and Mina had surprisingly ended quickly with Uraraka gaining victory over the pink skinned girl thanks to her zero gravity. Sonic wanted to rest up as much as he can for his next match as his opponent was funny enough going to be Uraraka. She might not be threating but if she were to get her hands on him and take away his gravity then there wouldn't be much he can do to stop her from throwing him out of the ring. Maybe it was possible for him to do a homing attack without having any gravity? He would still rather not test that theory out.

The blue blur then felt a looming presence overhead. He opened one eye to find Iida with his hands on his hips looking down at him with a stern glare. "Sonic! Sit properly! Having your legs out like that is disrespecting this building's infrastructure!"

"Relax Iida! I'm just trying to rest up here!" Sonic whined

Iida would have continued to scold Sonic, but two voices were heard from above making their way to Class-1A's stand.

"Man! I can't believe you threw me out of the ring like that! So unfair!"

"Ha! Well I did warn you beforehand didn't I?"

Both Uraraka and Mina appeared from above before they walked down and took their seats.

"Hey nice job out there girls! You both did super!" Sonic praised

"Yes, you both performed well." Iida nodded in agreement

Mina smiled cheekily as she scratched her head "Thanks guys! Although I'm a bit disappointed I lost and now I'm out of the finals..." She pouted before Uraraka put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Aw it's okay! You can root for me now!" Uraraka teased, Mina rolled her eyes but couldn't help but laugh.

"You better hope she does Gravity Girl! Because now you're up against me!" Sonic warned with a smirk "And don't think I'll go easy on you because you're a good friend!"

The brown haired girl looked at Sonic for a moment taking in his words before a confident smile grew on her face "You're on Sonic! From here on until the end of our match, consider us enemies!" Uraraka boldly proclaimed, a glint of pure confidence and determination sparkled in her eyes

"Heh! Consider it done!" Sonic agreed, this little banter was going to be fun!

"Oh yeah that's right! Yeah I'm rooting for Sonic! Just in spite of you beating me Uraraka!" Mina proudly announced

"Heyyy that's not fair! " Uraraka cried out, gaining laughter from all around.

Iida's eyes brightened as he quickly remembered something "Oh hey? Isn't Pony's match up next?"

Sonic nodded in confirmation "Yup! She's up against another one of Maurice's friends. I met her during the race earlier. Seems like a cool girl!"

"Then I hope Pony will do her best! I'll be cheering for her!" Uraraka exclaimed

Meanwhile in Class-1A's neighboring stand with Class-1B, Classic Sonic was staring off into space with his arms crossed in his seat thinking. In just a few minutes Pony and Reiko are about to go head-to-head and if Classic Sonic was able to talk and say he wasn't a little bit worried about how it will go down then he would be lying. He didn't want whatever outcome or whoever comes out the victor of this fight to be the start of an "Enmity" if you would say. He didn't want his two friends to start hating each other. The blue hedgehog was going to be cheering for both, he wasn't going to pick sides. But another thing that had Classic Sonic worried was Pony's strange behavior from earlier. For some reason right before he left her in her waiting room, it was like she became kind of cold and almost distant. Like something was getting to her.

Throughout the festival Pony seemed to be fine. She was her usual bright, happy self. The only other moment Classic Sonic could remember where Pony seemed cold or down was when she was scared that Classic Sonic would have abandoned her when Reiko asked him to join her team for the calvary battle. So he had no idea what could be bothering her now. Maybe it was the whole Shinso thing? Or was it something he said? If Classic Sonic remembered correctly all he said to her before leaving was that he was going to go check up on Reiko. How could that possibly set her of-...

Classic Sonic's eyes widened in realization. It was like a piece of a puzzle was snapped into place inside his head. A vivid image of when Pony was glaring into Reiko's back after she had asked that question popped into the blue hedgehog's mind. Those cold blue piercing eyes.

"ALRIGHT AUDIENCE! ITS TIME WE JUMP INTO OUR NEXT MATCH! OUR TWO COMPETITORS ARE BOTH FROM CLASS-1B! ON ONE SIDE WE HAVE THE GIRL WHO LOOKS LIKE SHE CAME FROM THE AFTERLIFE! REIKO YANAGI!" Present Mic announced

Out of one tunnel Reiko walked out with her hand up normally in that crooked position. Her body jolted slightly in response from the loud cheer that came from the audience before continuing to move forward.

"Yeah go Reiko! Do your best!" Kendo and a few of the other Class-1-B girls cheered for their friend.

"AND ON THE OTHER! WE HAVE THE FOREIGN STUDENT WHO WILL MOW YOU DOWN WITH NO HESITATION! AND WATCH OUT FOR HER HORNS! THEIR SHARP! IT'S PONY TSUNOTORI!"

Pony marched out of the tunnel confidently, her hooves impacting the ground with each step she took. She paid no attention to the audience's cheers for her as she kept her eyes forward on her opponent. Those eyes that had no traces of fear in them...but instead anger that had been hidden for so long. She glared at Reiko the moment they made eye contact. Those cold blue eyes piercing through her like ice.

Classic Sonic's shoulders slumped. Oh boy...it seemed like that enmity had already started, but just only one-sided.

Reiko stood anxiously in place, she wasn't used to having so many eyes on her. She never expected she would have ever in her life be put in front of so many people. If she were being honest she would much rather be at home right now secluded away in her dark room watching spooky things like a horror movie or reading scary stories online late into the night. Which is why she always seemed to have bags under her gloomy eyes. That was just her lifestyle, growing up she didn't have a lot of friends and while her parents did their best to give attention to her they were always busy with work or other stuff. So she became isolated from the world around her, finding it much easier to talk and make friends with strangers online than talking to people in person.

That was, until a little blue hedgehog came speeding into her life. Reiko was still having a hard time believing that she actually had made friends at U.A. Kendo, Setsuna, Kinoko. She might not be good at expressing it but these three girls meant so much to her. On the morning of the first day of school she was thinking that she would be alone, the odd one out, the black sheep of the class maybe. But she never would have thought when she first approached the classroom that she would meet a hedgehog who was desperately hanging off the classrooms door who would become one of her closest friends and help her to reach out of her comfort zone. She would always be grateful to Maurice for that. Maurice had even come before her match to check up on and support her which she greatly appreciated. She liked his company, and she would like to hang around him more. But recently it seemed he was always too busy being with Pony. The very same girl in front of her who Reiko needed to beat to move onto the next match.

"I hope this doesn't make things weird between us.." Reiko thought as she glanced at her opponent. However the silver haired girl had to do a double take as she could see Pony's eyes were drilling into her. Her posture was as stiff as a statue and her hands were bawled into fists. Reiko could also feel large amounts of tension in the air between them. Like it was electrified.

"Is...Is she mad at me?" Reiko thought confusingly, what could she had done to tick her off? She couldn't think of anything in recent times. She was pretty sure she had never even exchanged words with the horned girl before.

Midnight gave a sly smile before raising the flag in her hand in the air "Alright! You both may start!" She exclaimed before throwing the flag down.

"TAKE THIS!" With no hesitation multiple sets of horns grew off of Pony's head before they were sent barreling towards Reiko.

Reiko quickly raised her hands, her quirk activating as the horns gained a purple hue before she swiped them away. The horns immediately changed directions before they impacted into the ground, sticking out of it.

Reiko's gaze lingered on the horns "We're standing on concrete and yet her horns managed to pierce through it. What would have happened to me if I didn't react on time?" She thought, the telekinetic didn't have time to dwell on this question as more sets of horns were sent towards her.

She continued to deflect the horns via her quirk while Pony kept her distance. Reiko had expected this however as Pony's quirk worked long range instead of up close so it made sense. But so was Reiko's. Instead of deflecting she began to catch the horns midair with her mind as dozens of horns floated around her. Reiko had a limit however on how many things she could control with her mind, if she were to control too much her mind would get overwhelmed and her head would start to hurt and if she would attempt to lift something that weighed heavier than the average human she would often find her nose starting to bleed and she would sometimes pass out.

She flung her hands forwards as all of the horns were sent straight back towards the blond girl. Pony eyes widened in surprise before she sprinted, dodging and ducking under the barrage of horns.

Pony gritted her teeth "Using my own horns against me!? How cheap!" Pony began to send another fury of horns towards Reiko much faster than before. Reiko kept on using her quirk to deflect or catch them but their speed was proving to be quite difficult to do. Reiko failed to stop one of the horns as it went flying by and grazed her shoulder leaving a small cut. She cried out as her hand flung to her shoulder.

"Is she trying to kill me!? That could have easily hit something important!" Reiko looked back up before her eyes widened in shock to find Pony flying towards her by riding on top of her horns. In the nick of time Reiko managed to move out of the way from a punch as Pony flew past her and into the air. From above she began circling and firing more horns down upon Reiko, the silver haired girl tried her best to deflect them but a few would get past coming dangerously close to hitting her, instead impacting the ground around her. One had even flown by her head cutting a piece of her hair off. She needed to get out of this situation so she sent all of the horns she had control of back towards her.

Pony flew through the air dodging her own horns until she lifted her leg up to prevent it from getting hit before she lost her balance and fell off hitting the ground hard. Pony coughed and wheezed as the oxygen was knocked out of her lungs from the fall. She slowly lifted her head up to find Reiko immediately on top of her. She grabbed Pony by the head pinning her against the ground.

"Look! I-I can tell your mad at me! Can you at least tell me what I did to upset you!?" Reiko tried to say.

"G-Get off me you witch!" Pony screamed, she managed to free one of her legs before she kicked Reiko in the face, her hoof striking her right in the mouth.

Reiko fell back, her hand covering her mouth as the taste of blood filled her tastebuds. She looked up with wide eyes at Pony who was slowly getting back up on her feet. Reiko's hands bawled up and for the first time in her life she saw red. Reiko sprang to her feel before she charged forward and sent a fist right into Pony's nose as a loud crack was heard. The blond girl was sent stumbling back as she held her face in pain. Reiko backed up, wincing as she felt pain in her hand. She might have broken something with that punch which would have explained the crack. Pony took her hands off her face to reveal her nose was profusely bleeding with her hands covered in her own blood. She looked down at them with trembling eyes before looking back up at Reiko who could only stand there.

Pure rage entered Pony's eyes as she screamed while charging towards Reiko before she tackled her to the ground. She held her down before attempting to punch her in the face, but at the last second Reiko moved her head to the side as Pony punched the hard ground instead. She cried out from the stinging feeling on her fingers before she was slapped off by Reiko who then lunged at her. From there the two wrestled each other, punching, kicking and even pulling each other's hair.

"Jeez, talk about a cat fight." A pro hero in the stands commented

"I know! That blond chick really has it out for that girl!" Another pro hero agreed

Up above in Class 1-B's stand. Classic Sonic would have heard this but he didn't as he was too horrified at the fight in front of him. This...This was bad. Really Really bad. They're not just trying to beat each other. They're straight up trying to kill each other. At least Pony was. But why? Why does Pony hate Reiko that much? Do they have history? Or was it just because Reiko wanted him to join her team? It just didn't make any sense. All Classic Sonic could do was hope that this fight would end right now.

The two rolled around on top of each other before Pony got the upper hand and began sending a bunch of sloppy punches while Reiko blocked her face "YOU CAN'T TAKE HIM! HE'S THE ONLY FRIEND I HAVE! I WON'T LET YOU!" She cried out, her eyes beginning to water.

"Dude what are you talking about!? Take who!??" Reiko shouted back, she caught one of Pony's fists in her hand before she pushed Pony off of her.

"DON'T LIE! YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHO!" Pony screamed as she shot off multiple horns.

Reiko barley managed to whip her head to the side as a horn slashed her cheek, she hissed from the pain. Seeing that she was disoriented Pony hopped on two of her horns before she flew towards and grabbed Reiko so she could throw her out of bounds.

"BY BEATING YOU I'LL PROVE THAT I'M WORTH SOMETHING TO MAURICE! THAT I'M WORTH BEING HIS FRIEND!" Pony shouted, she was just a couple of seconds away from throwing Reiko out of the ring and finally winning. To finally proving herself.

"M-Maurice? Th-This is about h-him?" Reiko thought in shock and confusion. What did Maurice have to do with this?! She turned her head to the side and could the see the boundary was quickly approaching. Having little to no time Reiko looked down at one of the horns Pony was using to fly before she quickly outstretched her hand and used her quirk to pull it out from under Pony's foot. The horned girl's eyes widened as she instantly felt the support for her right hove vanish as the two fell and tumbled across the ground from the momentum, just stopping right in front of the boundary.

Reiko's face grimaced as she struggled to get up, her whole body was aching and exhausted. Her breathing was heavy and she was pretty sure her lip was busted as it was bleeding. Not to mention her fingers would feel like they were being stabbed by little needles at the slightest movement. She looked up to find Pony who had already gotten back to her feet.

"Sh-She's already back up!? How is she so resilient to her injuries!?"

Pony slowly began to walk/limp towards the downed Reiko with four sharp horns menacingly hovering by her side. Her face from the nose down was covered in blood but her face remained stoic. Her blue eyes that were once always shining with life and joy were dead and cold. Her long wavy blond hair that was usually combed elegantly was now messy and madded.

"When I was young my mother would teach me how to fight to defend myself. As well as to help me become a Pro hero as great as she is!" Pony spoke, she reached down grabbing Reiko by the collar of her shirt. Reiko grabbed her arm but was too weak and drained to pull her grasp off of her. She met Pony's eyes. Reiko could see the anger within them. But for some reason she could also sense sadness, pain, and maybe even a bit of suffering behind those eyes.

"I guess it paid off because I beat you Yanagi! I finally proved that I'm a better friend for Maurice!" Pony continued, a hint of superiority and pride laced her voice

"Wh-What?" Reiko muttered "I-I don't know what you're talking about or how Maurice has to do with anything!"

"Oh cut the crap! I know you've been trying to steal him from me! Ever since you asked him to join your team during the Calvary match!" She almost shouted in her face, tears starting to pour from her eyes.

"Huh!?" Reiko's fist flared up as she tightened it, but she ignored the pain. Unknowingly to her a strange purple outline started to form around her body. "I was asking him to join my team because we had room for one more! Yeah it's because he's my friend! So what! I didn't know you two had already packed together at the time!"

"NO! Your just jealous of our friendship! I-I know it! You're trying to take my closest friend away from me! The o-one person who wants to be with me despite it being me! Y-Y want him all to yourself!" Pony accused her, the levitating horns that were next to her were now inches away from Reiko's face "And after I show it to him..."

"He'll want nothing to do with you!"

Right there. Once those seven words were spoken something inside of Reiko snapped. The outline that Reiko had gained began to glow brighter "Let...me...GO!" She screamed as suddenly a purple shockwave erupted out of her. Midnight had to cover her face from the dust that was kicked up as Pony was sent flying out of bounds.

As the dust settled, Reiko fell to the ground on her back. Whatever that pulse of energy that Reiko had unleashed was it had seriously drained her. She stared into the sky confused with widespread eyes "What was...H-How did I do that?"

"Pony Tsunotori has been thrown out of bounds! Reiko Yanagi advances onto the next match!" Midnight suddenly spoke, the cheering from the stadium brought Reiko back to reality and out of her thoughts on whatever that strange power was.

Her arms shook as she forced herself off the ground. She didn't care about the constant cheering coming from all around her, if anything it was only adding to the growing headache she was beginning to feel. She just needed to get out of there. Somewhere she could sit down and recover from all this. But before she could even take the first step, something stopped her. A sound.

Through the loud cheers Reiko's ears caught the sound of someone quietly crying. She turned around to where Pony was still lying on the ground where she landed out of bounds, her back to the sky. She had her face burrowed into her arms, most likely to hide her tears. Her back would rise up and down in rapid pauses from her sobs. Reiko watched the girl and couldn't help but feel that the sight of her suffering made her stomach drop, everything in her head was telling her to turn her back and walk away.

All she needed to do was to move her feet. It would be so easy...So why was it so hard to do?

She didn't owe this girl anything. The girl who had basically tried to kill her throughout their match without giving any well-informed answer on why. Only that it had something to do with Maurice. So why was she hesitating? It sounded cheesy but in her heart Reiko felt empathy for Pony. A recent memory of when Maurice stuck out his hand towards the crying indigo haired boy from the end of the first match flashed in Reiko's head. She stepped forward until the whimpering girl was before her feet. Reiko kneeled down before she put a comforting hand on Pony's shoulder. Not just because it was the right thing to do. Not just because it was something Maurice would do.

But because it's what a hero would do.

"Hey...Come on let's get away from all these eyes. We can find somewhere private to talk and find out what's been botheri-"

Before Reiko could finish her hand was suddenly slapped away before Pony jumped up and booked it towards the tunnel, her head down as she sprinted to make sure no one could see her face through her hair.

"W-Wait!" Reiko called out, her hand reaching out towards Pony. Whether Pony didn't hear or she was ignoring her she continued to run before she disappeared into the tunnel.

Reiko only sat on the ground, in complete disbelief about everything that just happened "Man...What is her deal?"

Classic Sonic hurriedly ran down the halls, he needed to make sure they were both okay. He ran around a corner almost hitting a student in the process who yelped in surprise. He gave an apologetic smile before he continued to run. Up ahead he saw his destination before Classic Sonic slid to a stop in front of Recovery girl's office. As much as he wanted to let himself in he decided against it and knocked on the door. Patience was never a strong trait of his.

"All Might I swear if it's you and that boy of yours is somehow injured again you won't like it when I answer this door!" Recovery girl's irritated voice rung from the other side of the door. A couple of moments later the door opened to reveal Recovery girl who wasn't wearing her headgear. She was looking up with an annoyed look on her face expecting to see All Might's stupid face grinning down at her with his stupid smile. But her face contorted into confusion when she didn't see him. She looked down to her eye level and found Classic Sonic who gave her an awkward smile.

"Oh! What a surprise! How can I help you dear?" Recovery girl asked sweetly, this time with no trace of annoyance in her tone.

Classic Sonic pulled out his notepad before her began to write on it, he tore the sticky note off before he handed it to her. Recovery Girl squinted her eyes at the sticky note before she reached into one of her coat's pockets pulling out a pair of glasses.

"Hey Mrs. RG! Is Reiko and Pony here? I was wondering if I could see how they were doing."

"Reiko? Ah yes! From the previous match! She's currently resting inside. Come in! Come in!" Recovery Girl opened the door stepping to the side as Classic Sonic walked in. Reiko who was resting in her bed looked up in surprise at the newcomer.

"M-Maurice! What are you doing here!?" She asked before she winced out of pain.

Classic Sonic nodded at her with a smile, but the corners of his mouth dropped slightly from seeing her condition. Her U.A uniform was off most likely because of battle damage so she was just in a black crop top. She had a large bandage over her right cheek to cover up stitches. Another bandage covered her left shoulder, and she was holding an ice pack to her busted lip to help with the swelling.

"I tried my best to fix her up, but the poor girl had practically collapsed at the door when she arrived" Recovery Girl spoke "I won't be able to do more until she regains her strength."

Classic Sonic gave an appreciative nod towards Recovery girl before he walked to the side of Reiko's bed. He gave her a warm smile before handing her a sticky note.

"I came by to see how you were holding up. How are you feeling?"

Reiko sighed "Like crap...Tsunotori really beat the crap out of me..."

The blue hedgehog's heart dropped as he heard this. Why Pony decided to go all out on Reiko was beyond him. It seemed nothing like her. Classic Sonic's eyes lowered, avoiding Reiko's gaze. But then he quickly realized something. Classic Sonic looked around the room as a question formed in his head. Why wasn't Pony here? Did she not want to get her injuries healed?

A look of panic struck Classic Sonic before he quickly wrote something and handed it to Reiko. "Was Pony here when you arrived!? Did she happen to come by while you've been here!?"

Brief surprise struck Reiko "N-No she didn't, I haven't seen her since she ran off at the end of our match."

Classic Sonic tapped his chin in thought, if she wasn't here than where was she? Suddenly the whole room shuck as a loud explosion was heard from outside. Recovery Girl scoffed as she opened up a nearby drawer pulling out a remote before turning on a TV that was hanging from the corner of the room. Playing on the TV was a livestream of the festival, and right now the camera was zoomed in on Bakugo towering over a beaten unconscious boy with red spikey hair. The scene then changed to an image of Bakugo with his usual butt ugly snarl on his face with the words "Katsuki Bakugo Wins!"

"This festival and it's reckless activities...I don't know why the school thinks it's a good idea to have you kids fight it out on national television until one of you drops dead." Recovery Girl ranted with a sigh

Classic Sonic crossed his arms as he watched the television. Now that this match was over, Classic Sonic's was up next. And if he recalled correctly, he was going up against Iida. He didn't have much time; he needed to find Pony fast. He turned towards Reiko before he wrote her something.

"I'm sorry Reiko but...I have to go find her."

A look of shame and guilt formed on Classic Sonic's face. He didn't want to leave Reiko's side to go and find the person that had beaten her up. But he needed to help Pony.

Reiko stared at the note in her hand. But a soft smile appeared on her face. "It's okay Maurice I understand...She needs your help anyway. During our match I could tell she was suffering on the inside and that she was trying to hide it until she couldn't anymore."

The blue hedgehog stared at her with surprise. So that definitely confirmed that something was bothering Pony. How come it took him so long to notice? Why did she decide to keep it hidden? Why didn't she want to talk to him about it? There were so many questions swirling around inside Classic Sonic's head.

"Out of curiosity...Did she say anything to you? During your guy's match?"

Reiko nodded "She mentioned you...saying how she wouldn't let me take you away from her. How you're the only person who's willing to be her friend. And how I was jealous of your guy's friendship or something. Kinda spooky if you ask me..."

Classic Sonic's eyes widened. Pony thought...Reiko was trying to steal him away from her? Why would she think that?

Reiko's soft hands than took and wrapped around Classic Sonic's gloved hand "Maurice...Whatever this grudge is your friend has with me. Whatever pain and sadness that she's feeling..."

"It's about you..."

Classic Sonic took a step back as Reiko let go of his hand. He was trying to process everything. It all started to make sense, from when Reiko asked him to join her team. Why Pony was acting so strange, and why she had acted so violent during her match. It was about him...but all of these answers only created more questions. Why was it about him? Why was she jealous of his and Reiko's friendship? And why did she say he was the only person willing to be her friend? She had made plenty of other friends in their class. So why was she so protective of hers with Classic Sonic and not anybody els-...

Classic Sonic took a pause. Now that he thought about, he couldn't think of a single time where he saw Pony socializing with anybody else with the exception of his double's Class 1-A's buddies. And that had only really happened because she was unintentionally put on the spot when she met his future self. The only person Classic Sonic could think of that Pony ever talked with...was himself...

He needed to find her, but what about Reiko? He couldn't just lea-

"Maurice..."

Classic Sonic was snapped out of his thoughts as his attention was brought back to Reiko, that soft smile still present on her face. "It's okay...I'll be okay. Go."

The blue blur stared at her with uncertainty and worry. But his gaze turned serious and he nodded. He gave both Reiko and Recovery Girl a mock salute and in a blur of motion. He had left the room.

Recovery Girl smiled to herself as she hummed in thought. "The hero course could use more students like that."

Izuku paced back and forth around the hall as he incoherently mumbled words upon words. Sonic and Toshinori could only watch helplessly from the side.

"Izuku, I think you just need to relax man.." Sonic spoke, concern evident in his voice.

"Young Sonic is right Midoriya. The more stress you put on yourself than the harder it's going to be to defeat Todoroki. You gotta go into this with a clean head kid!" Toshinori tried to explain. He didn't want to sound like he was rooting for Todoroki's downfall. He wanted Todoroki and every other hero course student to be successful. But if he wanted his protege to reach success too then he needed to make a point.

"I know!" Izuku suddenly exclaimed "But it's just..."

"Without having to rely on his damm fire quirk. I'm going to show him that I reject his power and I can take first place without using it."

"More..complicated than that..."

Sonic tilted his head, a bit curious at what Midoriya meant "What do you mean Izuku?"

Midoriya sighed. While of course he wanted to beat Todoroki and perform his absolute best in front of everybody. He had another goal in mind. Todoroki refused to use his fire side of his quirk. Because of his father, Endeavor. Midoriya didn't know what Endeavor had done to the point where Todoroki resented him and everything he stood for, but by what he told him of his past it did not sound pretty. He understood why Todoroki did not want to use his other half. But Todoroki was blind to the fact that his quirk belonged to him and not his father. If he continued to push his other side away he would only harm himself in the end. He needed to be shown that. Izuku needed to open his eyes and show him that he could write his own story with his quirk. And that even with it he was not tethered to his father.

"It's..It's nothing..." Izuku replied, shutting down the question.

Sonic and Toshinori shared a look but Sonic shrugged his shoulders "Whatever you say man! But you should really chill out about thi-"

Before Sonic could finish a whoosh of wind was felt as a small figure skidded to a stop in front of them. The three turned to find Classic Sonic.

"Oh! Hey little buddy! What's... " Sonic's voice began to trail off. Something was wrong with his younger self. Classic Sonic had a look of panic and fear in his eyes as his mouth trembled.

"H-Hey what's wrong!?" Sonic asked with notable concern, kneeling down to his level. Classic Sonic quickly wrote something down before handing it to Sonic.

"It's Pony! She's been acting weird lately and after her match I can't find her anywhere!"

"Pony?" Sonic repeated in confusion "What happened with her?"

Izuku also looked at Classic Sonic with concern, now pushing the Todoroki situation to the back of his mind "Wait, What's wrong with Pony!?"

From there Classic Sonic tried his best to explain everything. From when Pony's odd behavior started to show before the Calvary battle, the Shinso situation, what he had learned from Reiko during their match, and how he had been all over the stadium searching for her only to end in failure.

"Oh man...I-I had no idea know Pony was going through something." Midoriya mumbled.

"I know we haven't hanged out with her much because of different classes and all. B-But doesn't she realize we're her friends too!?"

"And you said you looked everywhere for her Maurice?" Sonic asked. Classic Sonic's eyes lowered with disappointment as he nodded in confirmation.

A bright smiled appeared on Sonic's face "Well don't worry little buddy! Will help you find her!" He exclaimed, pure optimism radiating from his tone. Midoriya nodded eagerly next to him.

"Yeah! I can go get Iida and Uraraka and fill them in on the situation and they can help too!" Midoriya stated, Classic Sonic looked at the two and couldn't help but feel the corner of his lips begin to curve upwards.

"Okay! Let's start looking now while we still have time!" Sonic advised

"Young Sonic..Maurice..Midoriya"

The three turned to Toshinori at the sound of their names. He had a neutral yet somber expression on his face. But his shallow blue eyes reflected compassion and understanding.

He turned towards Classic Sonic "Young Maurice, I think the reason why you have been unable to find your friend is simple. It's because she doesn't want to be found."

Classic Sonic could only stare at the number one hero in confusion. Toshinori walked over before he kneeled down in front of him placing a comforting hand on Classic Sonic's shoulder.

"From what you've told us it sounds like your friend has been hurting for quite a while and has been good at hiding it. But now that her pain has been exposed, she needs time to herself to think, grieve, and sort through it all." Toshinori continued

"But once she's ready to come back into the limelight. It will be your job as her friend to be by her side and support her through it." He said before he stood up.

.

"Being a hero isn't always about saving the day. It's the little things like simply being there for someone that tend to leave the biggest impact."

Classic Sonic stood there in thought thinking about Toshinori's words. He was right. Right now Pony wanted to be alone and Classic Sonic had to accept that. Even if he was extremely worried about her and her well-being. The blue blur than rushed forward and hugged Toshinori's leg, showing his appreciation and gratitude for the old hero's advice. Toshinori chuckled before he rubbed the top of Classic Sonic's head.

Sonic crossed his arms with a smirk "Heh, always leave it up to the symbol of peace when good life changing advice is needed!"

"Take it from an old guy like me. I've seen these types of things time and time again." Toshinori shrugged

"Okay gramps." Sonic snorted "Oh hey Maurice! Your match is up next! You need to get ready little buddy!"

"Oh that's right! You're up against Iida too! I wonder how that will go down..." Midoriya scratched his chin in thought.

"Iida isn't as fast as Sonic respectfully, But Maurice is a younger version of Sonic so Iida may fare better. Especially with his Recipro Burst technique. You also have to take in account to the wide gap in height between the two. Iida would be able to cross more ground with each step than Maurie. But also, Maurice could-..."

The three deadpanned as they watched the green haired boy ramble on. Sonic turned to his past self, giving him a look. "This might be your que to get going little buddy. He won't be done talking for a while. Will be cheering for you from the stands!"

Toshinori nodded "Yes, good luck Young Mauirce!"

Sonic put a hand on his hip, giving the symbol of peace an accusatory glance "What happened to not believing in luck Toshie?" A teasing smirk formed on his muzzle.

Toshinori backtracked, having been caught from letting his words slip "Oh...Well, Maybe just this one time..." He admitted as he scratched the back of his head from slight embarrassment.

Classic Sonic snickered, but then he gave his signature thumbs up to represent his gratitude for their support. After a quick goodbye he dashed away to prepare, not just physically but mentally.

He couldn't afford any distractions.

Present mic cracked his fingers before he turned on the Microphone." WE HAVE ARRIVED TOO THE SECOND ROUND! WE'RE GONNA BE STARTING OFF WITH SOME SERIOUS HEAT! AND BY THE LOOK OF OUR TWO COMBATANTS! IT'S GONNA BE HEAT CAUSED BY FRICTION!" He exclaimed as the audience cheered in excitement.

"OUR FIRST COMBATANT! IT'S THE BOY WITH ENGINES ON HIS LEGS! THE YOUNGER BROTHER OF THE PRO HERO INGENIUM! TENYA IIDA!"

Iida walked out of the tunnel as the crowd cheered. He walked straight forward, his eyes filled with determination and conviction. Right now he knew his older brother was watching live from home. And whether he will win or lose this fight. Iida knew deep down his brother would be proud of him nonetheless.

"Do your best Iida!" Uraraka cheered out

"UP AGAINST! CLASS-1B'S VERY OWN SPEED FREAK! IT'S THE BLUE BLUR! MAURICE THE HEDGEHOG!"

The stadium roared as Classic Sonic walked out and made his appearance known. Classic Sonic glanced to the stands as he made his way forward. Within his class he could see Reiko. The bandage she had on her face now gone most likely thanks to Recovery Girls healing. Reiko smiled and waved down to him. Classic Sonic returned the gesture before his eyes skimmed through the rest of the class. One notable person was missing. Classic Sonic could feel his smile beginning to fall. He was hoping that Pony would have been up there to cheer him on.

Up in the stands, Sonic leaned over the railing "Have fun you two! Do great!" He called down

Soon both opponents were now facing each other. Iida's hands tightened as he analyzed Classic Sonic in front of him. "Sonic's younger brother...I may not be too close to Maurice like I am to Sonic. But I know he is almost if not just as fast as Sonic. If I want to advance, then I will need to go all out. No holding back!"

Iida smiled "Good luck to you Maurice. Let's make sure we make both of our older brothers proud!" He stated before bowing respectfully. Classic Sonic smiled and nodded back in agreement before returning the bow.

"Alright! Iida! Maurice! Are you two ready!?" Midnight asked

After receiving nods from the both of them. Midnight flew her flag down. "Very well! Begin!"

The engines on the back of Iida's calves roared as they propelled him forward. Iida was like a gust of wind as he rapidly approached Classic Sonic who readied himself but didn't move. Iida than jumped high into the air with the help of his engine's. Coming back down Iida attempted to bring his foot down upon the blue hedgehog but Classic Sonic jumped to the side at the last second. Iida bent down to match height before the engines on his right calf activated letting Iida preform a powered leg sweep in hopes of hitting the blue blur. But Classic Sonic jumped up letting the kick pass under him.

But Iida had predicted this, as he twisted his body the engine on his left calf roared to life as he brought his left leg up to kick Classic Sonic while he was still midair. But what Iida hadn't predicted was for Classic Sonic to manage to mantle over his leg. Using the given momentum Classic Sonic twisted his lower body while still midair before he landed a devastating kick right into the side of Iida's face that sent him onto his back.

"OUCH! WHAT A KICK FROM MAUIRICE! I KNOW THAT HAS GOT TO HURT!"

Iida spat on the ground before he pushed himself back up. Classic Sonic put his hand on the ground before he tucked into a ball and began to spin rapidly, charging up a spin dash. Iida began to sprint towards the blue spinning ball but before he could reach him Classic Sonic shot towards him like a rocket. Iida's eyes widened before he managed to leap to the side as Classic Sonic went flying past. The blue ball of quills landed before he then circled around and shot again towards Iida.

"Eep!" Iida sounded in fear as he began to twist and turn his body in order to dodge the many spin dashes. He ducked as another spin dash went flying overhead before once again Classic Sonic while still in a ball turned around and charged towards Iida. This time Iida prepared for it as he charged up his booster before he kicked the blue ball of spikes away like a soccer ball.

Classic Sonic quickly uncurled before reaching out towards the ground to stop his momentum, his feet skidding into the ground as he came to a stop right before the boundary line. Classic Sonic internally gave a sigh of relief. If he had stopped his momentum a second later than he might have lost right there! Both opponent's eyed one other from afar before they made a break for each other.

As they collided, they exchanged blow for blow. But Iida was beginning to struggle not just from Classic Sonic's superior speed. But because of how much of a smaller target Classic Sonic was compared to him. All of this made it so easy for Classic Sonic to attack him. And those fast jabs Iida was tanking were NOT forgiving.

"IIDA SEEMS TO BE OVERWHELMED BY MAURICE! WILL MAURICE PUSH HIM TO THE END OF HIS ROPE!? OR WILL IIDA FIND A WAY TO COUNTER THE BLUE HEDGEHOG'S SPEED!?"

"The reason why Iida is falling behind is due to how both of their quirks and abilities work." Aizawa explained calmly

"Iida achieves his speeds thanks to the engines in his calves. But like a car engine it can get overheated if pushed to the brink. Maurice, just like his older brother. Has no such limit for his quirk."

Iida began to slowly back up as he tried his best to block the barrage of attacks from Classic Sonic. "He's too fast! I can't keep up with him! If I want to get out of this I need to find an opening or something!" He thought loudly

Classic Sonic then jumped up before he sent a kick towards the side of Iida's head that Iida had barely managed to block with his arm. He hissed as his arm stung but he saw it. "There!"

Before gravity could fully pull Classic Sonic back down to the ground Iida performed a roundhouse kick aiming it right at Classic Sonic. The blue hedgehog brought his arms up to block but Iida had wanted this.

"NOW!"

The engines on the back of Iida's calf ignited as orange yellowish flames spewed out with Classic Sonic's arms taking the full blast. Classic Sonic bit his lip as his arms burned, most likely he had 3rd degree burns. But the young hedgehog failed to notice that Iida's leg was coming back around in 360-degree fashion before it slammed into Classic Sonic's side. The hedgehog was launched away by the jet powered kick before he crashed and tumbled across the ground.

"OOH! AND IIDA DELIVERS A HARSH KICK OF HIS OWN!" Present Mic exclaimed as the audience cheered from the excitement this match was generating.

Classic Sonic got to one knee before he hissed out in pain. His arms felt like they were on fire. And his side that was kicked bruised. But he felt nothing was broken. He had taken much harder hits before from the likes of Metal Sonic or one of Robotnik's death egg robots.

While Classic Sonic was getting up Iida saw his opportunity as the boundary wasn't too far behind Classic Sonic. "Nows my chance!" Iida got into a runner's position as orange and yellow flames began to shoot out from the engines on his calves before they grew in size and intensity while they turned blue in color.

"RECIPRO BURST!"

Iida shot forwards, the wind around his cracking while he left a blue trail of flames in his wake. Classic Sonic's ears perked up at the sound. He looked up with wide eyes only to find himself getting yanked off the ground by his arm as Iida raced towards the boundary to throw him out. If there was a rough estimate Classic Sonic had about five seconds to come up with something to get out of Iida's grasp before he would be thrown out of the ring. The blue hedgehog's eyes shined as a wild idea popped into his head. He grabbed onto Iida's arm with both of his hands before he bit down hard on his arm, his canines jabbing into his skin.

Iida's face immediately contorted into pain as he yelped and threw Classic Sonic towards the boundary too early. Classic Sonic recovered by tucking into a ball before he hit the ground and rolled into a roundabout direction to stop himself from rolling out of bounds.

The boy with engines on his legs held his arm blowing on the red mark that Classic Sonic had left. He then looked back up towards Classic Sonic in shock "D-D-Did you just...Bite me!?" He shouted in disbelief.

Classic Sonic just stood there before he gave an apologetic chuckle and shrugged his shoulders. Iida wanted to continue scolding him, but he knew right now wasn't the time. Iida then tried to activate his engines only for smoke and steam to come out of the exhaust pipes.

"oh no...I-I pushed my quirk too far!" He said in horror. He turned back to Classic Sonic who had a smirk on his face.

Classic Sonic than began to run, but strangely enough. He wasn't gaining any distance? His legs moved faster and faster as his feet pounded against the ground. His arms than came to his sides as he clenched his fists. Soon his legs were moving so fast, that his red shoes became a blur of motion. Forming a shape like that of a red infinity symbol.

"WHAT IS MAURCE UP TOO!? I SEE HIS LEGS ARE MOVING BUT YET HE'S REMAING IN THE SAME PLACE! IS HE ABOUT TO SHOW US A SECRET MOVE THAT HE'S BEEN HIDING UP HIS SLEEVE!?"

Up in the stands with Class-1A, A wide grin began to creep up Sonic's face. "No way! He's gonna use it!" Sonic jumped out of his seat in excitement and hype. Gaining the attention of his friends as well as the rest of his class.

"Use what!? What is Maurice doing down there Sonic!?" Izuku questioned. Sonic turned to his green haired friend with a giddy expression on his face.

"The Super Peel Out!"

Down below Classic Sonic continued to build up speed by charging the super peel out. Iida took a step back in fear, unaware of what was about to happen. But then, he made one fatal mistake...

He Blinked

"H-Huh?" Iida sounded out in confusion. His position had changed. He looked around, confused on he got there. The moment he had blinked it was like he teleported. He was now on the other side of the arena from where he originally was. Iida looked down to find he was over the line and that Classic Sonic was holding onto his leg. The blue hedgehog looked up at the boy and winked before his grasp on Iida's leg tightened. What was he-

BOOM!

A sonic boom louder than any sonic boom Iida has ever heard from that was produced from a pro hero like his brother reverberated through his whole skeleton while a massive shockwave was sent out from Classic Sonic's original position that could be felt all throughout the stands. The platform they were standing on that was made out of concrete split in two from the sheer speed. The stadium itself shook while the wind generated blew through the audience blowing their hair and special appendages wildly. If Classic Sonic wasn't holding Iida down like an anchor than he was sure he would have been blown away. Midnight who was nearby had to hold onto Cemmentos so she wouldn't be blown away.

As the shockwave settled down. Everyone was in utter shock at what just transpired. Present Mic and Aizawa was unable to utter out a single word while Class 1-A and 1-B were speechless at what happened. It was all so fast! It happened in a instant!. Izuku and Uraraka stared ahead with widespread eyes, Bakugo's jaw was left hanging open in shock while even Todoroki couldn't help but feel his mouth open slightly in disbelief.

With Class-1B they all looked down at their classmate with shock and even fear. Now well aware at the type of power he possessed. Even Reiko was stunned at the scene. Toshinori who was watching from his own stand felt his face turn pale. Was that just a taste of the true speed that the Sonic's could go at? These hedgehogs...their power alone could easily match one for all!

Down below Midnight could only stutter a few words out before she finally managed to recompose himself. "I-I-Iida is out of b-bounds! M-Maurice is the winner!"

The whole stadium was quite before it erupted. Creating a noise that rivaled the previous sonic boom in decibels. Iida fell onto his rear as he gawked at Classic Sonic in front of him and the level of speed he had just shown, struggling to push out any words from his throat. He had completely blown anything Iida was capable of doing out of the water. And Sonic was supposed to be faster than him!!??

"I-I DONT BELIEVE IT! MAURICE HEDGEHOG JUST MOVED FASTER THAN ANY U.A STUDENT WE HAVE EVER SEEN MOVE THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE U.A FESTIVALS HISTORY! IT WAS OVER IN AN INSTANT!" Present Mic shouted into his microphone as the crowd continued to roar.

Sonic smirked approvingly "Ha! That's just my little buddy for ya!" Sonic bragged proudly

"S-So fast, ribbit..."Tsuyu croaked weakly

"TH-THAT WAS BOTH INSANE AND AWSOME!" Kirishima exclaimed with awe. "YOUR BROTHER IS SO COOL AND MANLY SONIC!"

"YEAH! THAT MOVE HE DID WAS CRAZY! YOU SAID IT WAS THE SUPER REEL OUT OR SOMETHING!?" Kaminari questioned loudly

"I believe he called it the "super peel out"." Tokoyami corrected "Nonetheless it was an impressive showing of speed."

"It was like Iida's Recipro Burst but times a hundred! N-No times a thousand!" Yaoyorozu stand corrected herself in shock.

"Oh man, poor Iida.." Uraraka mumbled, feeling bad for her friend.

"S-Sonic...how did Maurice do that?" Midoriya asked, disbelief still lingering in his voice.

"Well, picture the super peel out kinda like a slingshot. The faster Maurice moves his legs in a stationary state then the more speed he builds up! And eventually, like how after you pull a slingshot and let go it releases all that built up energy in a single shot. All that charged up speed allows Maurice to achieve insane speeds in an instant for a couple of seconds! Speeds that would normally take time to build up!" Sonic explained with enthusiasm

"It's actually somewhat similar to Iida's special move!"

Midoriya's eyes sparkled "Thats...so cool! It really is like Iida's Recipro Burst, but just on a whole other level!" He beamed

"And if Maurice is able to do the super peel out, then there's no doubt Sonic is able to as well!" The green haired boy quickly came to a realization.

"Sonic...How much have you been holding back?"

"HAHAHAHA! WHAT HAPPENED! I THOUGHT CLASS 1-A WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST!"

Suddenly a loud and, in Izuku's opinion slightly obnoxious voice interrupted Midoriya's thoughts as everyone turned to find a blond boy looking down at them from over the wall that separated Class-1A and 1B. Bakugo upon recognizing the boy started to growl.

A sly smirk that emitted superiority rested on Monoma's face. "Well? I thought you load of big shots were supposed to pick us off! But instead our star player left your friend in the dust! How does it feel you bunch of losers!?" He started to cackle crazily.

Sonic's brow raised. Who the heck was this guy? As Monoma continued to laugh in "victory". His body suddenly went limp as it was pulled off before another head popped up.

"Heh, sorry about him!" Kendo apologized. "He doesn't know how to act his age! None of us over here are like him trust me!" She said before she disappeared behind the wall.

Class-1A could only blink at the odd series of events that just took place.

Tensei Iida relaxed as he laid back against the couch, he had taken this day off from patrolling for a very special occasion. Today his little brother Tenya was partaking in the U.A Sports Festival. As much as he wanted to go back home to Mustafa to watch his brother with his family. His sidekicks that worked with him and his agency sided against it. Just in case if he was needed if an emergency were to happen. The city of Hosu were full of them. Especially with the rise of pro heroes being murdered lately.

But it worked out as Tensei's agency had a faculty room with a couch and a TV. So he was still able to watch his little brother. Tensei knew how serious Tenya was when it came to wanting to be a hero. He had heard from their mother over calls about Tenya's ventures. How late he would stay up into the night to study. And how much time he spent at school to train. While it worried their mother because of how much stress and pressure Tenya was putting on himself. Tensei couldn't be prouder. There wasn't anyone else who was more worthy than Tenya to take up the Ingenium mantle.

The screen on the TV flickered, showing a small blue hedgehog with the words. "Maurice Hedgehog Wins!"

"You got so far Tenya. I couldn't be prouder of you than I already am. You're going to accomplish great things as Ingenium." Tensei thought warmly "But man that little guy was fast! Faster than me or any of our relatives for sure. Him and the other one. I think I know who I'm inviting for internships!"

Tensei than began to reach for his phone. Ready to call up his little brother to congratulate him for getting so far into the festival. But before he could, it started to buzz.

An annoyed look crossed Tensei's face as he picked it up. Seeing that one of his sidekicks were calling him. He answered it before putting it up to his ear. "Yeah what? I said not to call me unless it was for emergencies. This better be-"

Tensei stopped himself as he heard the panic in his sidekick's voice as he spoke to him. His face grew pale as he listened to what his sidekick was saying to him." A-Are you sure it's him!?" He questioned him

As he heard the confirmation he quickly got up off the couch before he raced into his armory to put on his hero costume. "NO! WAIT FOR ME! I'LL BE THERE AS SOON AS I CAN!" Tensei yelled into his phone before hanging up.

After hastily putting his armor on he raced out the door of his agency before he activated his engines letting him fly down the street. "Your slaughter ends today. Today is the day I take you down..."

"Herokiller..."

Sonic leaned against the wall within the tunnel while he watched the repairs get done to the arena by Cementoss after his duplicate had basically destroyed it. He tapped his arm before his ears perked up at the sound of footsteps from behind. Sonic looked over his shoulder to find the bearer of one for all.

"Hey man! You ready to kick some butt!?" Sonic called out to Izuku

Midoriya gave a weak chuckle "As I'll ever be.."

"B-But I still don't really have a battle plan...nor do I think I've gained any better control over one for all."

"Just give it your best shot! That's all that really matters you know!" Sonic tried to ease the boy's nerves with his words.

"Yeah I know..."

'ALRIGHT! ALL OF THE DAMAGES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED! THE NEXT MATCH STARTS IN 2 MINUTES!"

A silence than came between the two. The blue hedgehog and green haired boy stood side by side next to each other watching all of the people in the stands. Sonic broke the ice.

"You worried?"

"Yes." Izuku replied without hesitation.

Sonic nodded "About the fight? Or about Todoroki?"

"I-I am nervous about the fight, but it's Todoroki that I'm worried about. H-He's refusing to use his flames because of his father, Endeavor. Whatever pain Endeavor caused him and his mother in his past its still affecting him now. He's letting his father control him without even realizing it. I'm worried he doesn't realize he can use his full power without becoming like his dad."

Sonic's ears perked up at the name "Endeavor". He thought he heard it before somewhere but decided to stay silent.

"I want to show him that he can be his own hero. Even with his fire! That his legacy doesn't have to be chained to Endeavor."

"Th-Thats why I've been so stressed about this match. I don't just want to win. I want to save Todoroki!" "Izuku exclaimed

Sonic stared at the green boy before a smile appeared on his. If there was still any doubt about Izuku becoming the next wielder of one for all. Then that fire had been extinguished.

Sonic hummed "So Roki doesn't want to use his fire because of his old man right?"

Midoriya nodded "P-Pretty much"

"Hmm, Hey Izuku. Did you know I once fought a god of destruction?"

"Wh-What!?" Izuku exclaimed in shock, Sonic than put his hand up.

"Hold on I'm trying to do something here. I'll tell you all about it after the festival."

Izuku slowly nodded "O-Okay.."

"Back to my point. Similar to Roki, Chaos, the destruction god, had been wronged. By a tribe of people a long time ago. So Chaos became corrupted. A being with the desire to only inflict pain. A being that could only feel rage, anguish, and vengeance." Sonic continued

"And after a series of more events. He was given the chance to take his revenge on the world. It took me going super to match him." Sonic claimed

"W-Woah really?" Midoriya asked in shock.

"Really.." Sonic nodded "But guess what stopped him? It wasn't just the super form or the Chaos emeralds! But because we opened his heart. Showed him the error of his ways. That there was more to life than just hatred and revenge. We showed him that life had a greater purpose!"

"Thats a nice little story Sonic...But how does it help me with Todoroki?!" Izuku questioned

Sonic smirked "You gotta open Roki's heart man!"

"Open...his heart." Izuku mused

"ALRIGHT WERE ALL SET! THE TWO COMPETITORS MAY ENTER THE FIELD!"

"Remember what I said! Go get em tiger!" Sonic gave a little fist bump to Izuku's arm before he sped off leaving behind a blue blur.

Midoriya nodded before he walked out onto the field, the crowd cheering at his appearance.

"Right, Open his heart...Whatever that means..."

Fire from the corners of the arena shot up into the air as the crowd roared in expected excitement. Present Mic tapped the microphone before he spoke into.

"WERE AT THE SECOND MATCH OF THE SECOND ROUND FOLKS! AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE A HOT ONE! OR IN THIS CASE. A COLD ONE! AS WE GOT SHOTO TODOROKI! THE KID WHO WON HIS LAST MATCH BY A LITERAL LANDSLIDE! VERSUS IZUKU MIDORIYA! THE BOY WHO DROPPED FROM THE SKY LIKE A BOLT OF LIGHTNING FROM THE HEAVENS!"

Green eyes met dark gray and turquoise ones from opposite ends. Neither Izuku nor Todoroki backed down as they watched each other, it was almost like they were sizing each other up. With Class-1A they were all angsty in their seats, waiting to see which one of these powerhouses would come out on top.

Uraraka turned to Sonic with a worried look in her eyes. "Sonic, do you think Deku will be able to win this?"

"I'd say its 50/50. Roki might be a tough cookie, but Izuku's determination and willpower is stronger than that of a whole mountain of badniks!" Sonic smiled

"Badniks?" Uraraka repeated, but Sonic waved it off.

"Eh not important. But what is important Gravity Girl is to have faith in Izuku. If there's one thing the kid is best at doing. It's never giving up!"

The brown haired girl pondered Sonic's words for a moment before she smiled "Yeah! Like when he gave it his all to try and save Mr. Aizawa back at the U.S.J!"

"Exacly! Heh, it seems like you already realized that about him a long time ago huh Gravity Girl?" A grin than formed on the blue hedgehog's face.

"Wh-What!?" Uraraka's face tuned slightly red "I-I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Oh don't think I'm letting you off that easy! I didn't forget that little moment you had before the Calavary battle!" Sonic reminded with a smirk.

"Shhhh! Will you keep it down!" Uraraka began to hush with a reddened face. Sonic only chuckled before Iida came and sat between the two, his face pale and still full of disbelief from his match.

"Oh hey Iida! Nice job out there! You and Maurice sure put on a show!"

"I...I don't want to talk about it..." He spoke, his words barely passing as a whisper. Sonic snickered as he patted the poor boy's shoulders in hopes of cheering him up.

Down below Izuku's fists tightened as he continued to lock eyes with Todoroki.

"So here we are..."Todoroki began to speak.

"Only one of us is coming out on top."

Midoriya nodded. "Yeah, and I intend to use my full power to do so. I hope your considering too..."

Todoroki's eyes narrowed, hearing at what Izuku's words were hinting towards. "I don't need his side to beat you."

Izuku glared as he readied himself. "And that's where your wrong Todoroki. I'll prove it during this match." His arm raised as he prepared to flick.

"I'll force those flames out of you one way or another.."

Todoroki stepped forward, frost beginning to emit off his foot. "Then come over here and make me use them..."

"BUT WHICH ONE OF THESE TWO ARE MOVING ONTO THE NEXT ROUND!? LET'S FIND OUT!"

"He'll start with an ice attack." Midoriya predicted mentally as his finger began to glow.

"BEGIN!"

On que Todoroki slammed his foot into the ground as a huge cluster of ice rushed towards Izuku. Midoriya only had seconds to react.

"Smash!" Izuku flicked as he released a massive wave of power from his finger that collided into the ice stopping it in its tracks before it shattered and was blown back towards Todoroki by the generated winds. Todoroki put up a wall of ice to protect himself as the cold winds blew over him and through the stands.

"Man! Talk about a breeze!" Sonic shouted as he held up a hand to block the winds.

"S-So C-C-Cold!" Uraraka's teeth chattered.

Izuku grunted as he held his wrist, his middle finger now taking a maroonish color. But it wasn't broken.

"WOAH MIDORIYA MANAGED TO BREAK THROUGH TODOROKI'S OPENING MOVE!" Present Mic shouted as the stadium cheered. Toshinori's hand that rested on his lap began to grip as he continued to watch.

Todoroki sent out another barrage of ice before it was once again countered by a flick of a finger from Izuku. The wall of ice that sat behind Todoroki helped him from getting blown out. But this didn't go unnoticed by Midoriya.

"Let's continue..." Todoroki spoke before a wave of ice left his foot. The ice rocketed towards Izuku before it was blown up by another flick.

"Only seven shots left!"

"You want an endurance match! But I'll end this quickly!" Todoroki spoke before he sent another wave of ice that was destroyed by Izuku. But Todoroki had used this as a diversion to create a slop of ice to run up to get the drop on Izuku.

In a panic Izuku flicked another one of his fingers to destroy the slope, only having four fingers left. Izuku looked up to find Todoroki falling down towards him, ice begging to form on his right hand. He leapt to the side before Todoroki's hand slammed into the ground, ice materializing all around. Suddenly a pillar of ice shot out, catching Izuku by the foot.

"Oh no! Not good!"

Whether it was intentional or done in panic Midoriya's whole arm began to glow before he punched forward. A shockwave was created instantly destroying the Ice as dust was kicked up blocking Todoroki from view. Izuku cried out from the pain his arm was in.

Izuku looked up as the dust was starting to depart.

"That was much more powerful than any of your previous attacks. You're trying to keep me away. Smart." Todoroki's voice rung out. Midoriya's eyes widened as the dust cleared, revealing Todoroki had created ice behind him to catch himself. Izuku winced as he held his arm.

"What's the matter? Are you really that worn out from defending against my attacks?" Todoroki questioned, a tad bit of sarcasm in his tone.

The green haired boy gritted his teeth at Todoroki's words. But his eyes caught something. Even with the distance put between them. Midoriya could make out that Todoroki was starting to shiver.

"H-Heh, you're not looking so good yourself Todoroki! You're beginning to shake; don't you think it'll be nice if you heated yourself up a bit?"

Icy breath formed from Todoroki's lips as his face turned into a scowl. "You're getting cocky I see. When the schoolyear started you were just a mumbling mess. But it seems like all that time around Sonic changed you. His idiotic personality is starting to rub off on you."

Izuku stayed silent as he glared daggers at Todoroki for the insult hurled at his friend.

Ice began to grow around Todoroki. "Don't get ahead of yourself. With hands like that you're in no condition to fight. So let's end this." He spoke before he shot a cluster of ice towards Midoriya.

"OH NO! IS THIS TODOROKI'S FINISHING MOVE?"

Midoriya growled. "IM NOT DONE YET!"

An explosion of power suddenly erupted from Izuku. Todoroki's eyes widened before he was sent skidding back. He had barely managed to catch himself with his ice in time before he would have been out of bounds. Todoroki looked up in shock to see that Midoriya had used an already broken finger.

Midoriya's whole hand twitched from the pain coming from his finger. If it wasn't broken before it definitely was now as it was now a blackish dark purple color. But yet he made no sound, as he stared at the ground.

"Y-You used your broken finger...Why are you going this far!?" Todoroki shouted.

"Your trembling...Todoroki." Midoriya's broken hand clenched. "It's easy to forget that quirks have limits. You won't be able to take on the cold for much longer..."

"But I get it, normally you would be able to combat the cold by regulating your temperature with your fire. But you refuse to do that now."

Midoriya than faced up, his burning green eyes piercing through Todoroki. "Man up Todoroki! We're all here so we can do our best! So we can make our dreams a reality! You think you can beat me with half your strength!? You haven't put a single scratch on me! So come at me with all you got!"

Todoroki began to fume. "Why are you so keen on getting me to use my flames!? Did my monster of a dad bribe you or something!?" He began to charge towards Izuku with fury in his eyes.

But the ice was getting to him. His movements were slower. And Izuku could tell. At the right moment Midoriya charged up one for all into his arm as he punched Todoroki right in the gut. But Todoroki had managed to freeze a bit of Izuku's left arm before he was launched away. Izuku gasped out at the spike of pain shooting through his right arm while his left arm felt completely numb from the cold.

Todoroki slowly got up, that scowl still present on his face before he sent a line of ice towards Izuku's way. With the green haired boy hopping out of the way. Todoroki then rushed him, the two boys sent out their attacks to each other before they both dodged by jumping back.

"TELL ME TODOROKI! DO YOU REFUSE TO USE YOUR FIRE IN RETALIATION OF YOUR FATHER!? OR DO YOU REFUSE TO USE IT BECAUSE YOUR SCARED OF BECOMING HIM!" Izuku screamed as he flicked another one of his swallow fingers, breaking it. The miniature shockwave sent Todoroki crashing into one of his clusters of ice. The ice than cracked all around him before it exploded as look of pure anger dawned Todoroki's face.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?" He screamed, sending a mountain of ice and snow at Midoriya.

Izuku flicked, destroying Todoroki's attack. "BECAUSE I WANT TO HELP YOU! I'M TRYING TO SHOW YOU THAT YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO HURT YOURSELF IN THE END IF YOU CONTIUNE TO HOLD BACK!"

As the two continued to trade blows, attacking and countering each other with ice and flicks. Cementoss put a finger to his communicator.

"Should I step in Midnight? Midoriya knows Recovery Girl will heal him after the match. So he's acting reckless and is hurting himself. With all that adrenaline coursing through his body I'm sure he doesn't even realize how much pain he's in."

"I'm afraid if this were to go on. The damage done to his body may become permanent."

Midnight heard the fellow pro hero from over her communicator. But she said nothing as she didn't know whether to stop the match or not as she continued to watch.

Todoroki was knocked back, his head smacking against the ice he created to catch himself hard. His breath was heavy as he held onto the ice for support. "W-Why are you putting yourself through this? Wh-What are you trying to prove here?!"

"Because just like you I want to become the number one hero! I want to live up to people's expectations! I want people to feel safe enough to smile! But most importantly I want to save people! And that includes you!" Izuku exclaimed before he began to run towards Todoroki.

"BUT I CAN'T DO THAT WITHOUT GIVING IT MY ALL! JUST LIKE YOU SHOULD BE"

"Shoto..."

Todoroki stood still as his eyes shook, his mother's voice calling his name rung through his mind before he was socked in the face by Midoriya. Causing him to go flying back.

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU POSSIBLY COULD HAVE GONE THROUGH! BUT IT DOSENT MATTER RIGHT NOW! STOP SCREWING AROUND! ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO CHOOSE TO BE A FROZEN SHELL OF WHO YOU TRULY ARE!?" Midoriya screamed as he sprinted forward.

Ice began to crawl up and spread across Todoroki's right side as dozens of memories flashed through his mind "Shut up...I-I will reject him! I c-cant...I refuse to use his power!"

Izuku's arm powered up before he sent it crashing into Todoroki's chest. The ice around Todoroki's right side shattering instantly as he was launched back.

"COME ON TODOROKI! IT'S YOUR QUIRK NOT HIS! IF YOU WANT TO HAVE ANY CHANCE AT BEATING ME THAN STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF!" Midoriya shouted as he prepared to flick one last finger towards Todoroki to knock him out of bounds. His finger glowed brighter in luminosity before he unleashed a devastating shockwave towards the half white half red haired boy.

"OPEN YOUR HEART!"

It was like time was frozen for Todoroki, the shockwave coming his way moved in slow motion. Those three words echoed throughout his head. Was Midoriya right? Could he truly make his fire his own. Could he destroy his father's lingering hold over him and his fire?

"You do still want to be a hero don't you? Just remember, stay true to yourself. You are not a prisoner of your own lineage. It's okay to use your power, to become who you want be."

Todoroki's body shook as embers started to spark from all around him. It had been so long, he had almost forgotten..

An explosion of flames rippled out from Todoroki, the sheer intensity and power of them dispersed the incoming shockwave. Midoriya took a step back in shock as the temperature suddenly shot up.

"T-TODOROKI IS FINALLY USEING HIS FLAMES!"

"He's using his fire!" Uraraka exclaimed, her eyes squinting from the heat.

"Incredible..." Iida mumbled

Sonic watched the flames in awe, feeling the heat touch his skin. It seemed he was about to witness what Todoroki was truly capable of. But more importantly, it seemed Izuku had managed to open his heart.

"Good going Izuku!"

Midoriya panted as he looked at Todoroki with slight fear in his eyes. The rise in temperature had sky rocked. The air around Todoroki vibrated from the heat produced by his flames. And the ice that had covered his right side had quickly melted off.

"What's wrong? Scared? This is what you wanted right? I finally "opened my heart". " Todoroki's menacing voice cut through the hot winds generated by his fire. "Now which one of us is screwing around? I want to achieve my dreams too! I'll be a hero!"

A slight gasp escaped Izuku's throat before a smile dawned his face. "Amazing..."

Todoroki could hear his father calling his name with joy in his voice from the stands. But he simply ignored him as he stared Izuku down. "Why are you smiling? With those injuries...In this hopeless situation...You must be crazy." He stated before ice formed around his legs to act as a stable foundation while he lifted his left hand, ready to unleash his fire upon the green haired boy to end this match for good.

Izuku eyes widened. He had been so focused on getting Todoroki to use his flames that he had never actually came up with a plan to use to beat Todoroki if he ever gotten him to unleash his fire...Unless...

"I can't believe what I'm about to do..." He thought before he glanced up to the stands where his class was.

"Thanks for the advice Sonic...This one's for you."

Todoroki slammed his foot into the ground once more creating his biggest wave of ice yet. Midoriya directed his power into his legs, One for all coursing through his veins as he jumped into the air and over the wave of ice flying towards Todoroki who still had his left hand raised, embers dancing around his fingertips.

"I see now Midoriya...Thank you."

"That's it Midnight! One of them could be killed!" Cementoss exclaimed as began to control the cement that laid under the two boys to stop them.

"His body wont hold up!" Midnight yelled as she tore off a piece of fabric from her costume. Ready to put the two asleep.

As Todoroki shot his beam of fire at Midoriya, Izuku brought his arms back as they began to glow bright. The ground under him was beginning to pop up to form a wall to stop them both from Cementoss while the air around him turned pink from Midnight. But right as those three attacks reached him...

"SONIC! BOOOOOOOOOMMM!"

Midoriya slammed his hands together, cracking the air itself as everything around him including himself was sent flying back from the sheer power. The power emitted created a blinding flash of light while the entire stadium shook from the shockwave. Both Midnight and Cementoss were blown back from the pure force of the attack. Classic Sonic who had been watching with his class gripped onto the railing to fight back against the gust of winds.

"Wh-What is happening down there!?" Yaoyorozu shouted as loud as she could over the roaring winds.

"This is apocalyptic man!" Kirishima exclaimed

Sonic couldn't help himself as he started to laugh wildly "He used my idea!"

The chaos began to settle as the dust from the blast levitated into the sky. Midnight rubbed her head with a groan as she looked up to see who was still standing. As the smoke fully cleared, everyone could see Todoroki had somehow managed to stay in the ring by using his ice.

But as for Midoriya, he had been thrown way over the boundary line from the force of his own attack. His back was against the stadium's walls while his arms were a mangled broken mess. His head was down as he stood firm against the wall before he slowly began to fall over, passing out from the pain.

"T-There...Midoriya is...Out of bounds!" Midnight could hardly speak, still in shock.

"To-Todoroki moves on! He advances to the third round!"

To be continued

Man...I could easily say an excuse to why it took so long to get this chapter out. But I really don't have one. Procrastination is something else. This chapter was originally supposed to be way longer to make up for the long wait but I just needed to get this one done. So I figured start it with Deku might as well end it with Deku.

Anyway I hope you all have been doing well! I apologize about the long wait. I honestly don't know when I'll get the next chapter out. Hopefully soon.

So in the meantime, while y'all wait for chapters theirs a story on Wattpad that I recommend y'all check out. It's the same idea as mine with Modern and Classic Sonic going to the world of Mha but with a different story of course. It's called "Quirks and Quicks" and it's really good! I talked with the author and we agreed to have a little competition so that'll be fun!

Before I get to the reviews someone gave me a fun idea to leave little extra scenes at the end of chapters. Might not happen every chapter but it'll still be cool! Enjoy!

Extra Scene

3 days earlier

Classic Sonic waited impatiently by the school gates for his future self and Izuku. They were supposed to meet up with him so the three could train together to get ready for the sports festival, but he had no idea what was holding up the two!

"Hey! Sonic!"

The blue hedgehog then looked around, hearing someone call out his older self's name. But he quickly realized that Sonic wasn't around. And that there were four students in front of him. One had red spiky hair with sharp teeth. Another was a girl whose whole body was pink, with black eyes and two little jagged horns poking out of her fluffy pink hair. The third one was a boy with blond hair who had a lightning bolt imprint on his hair. While the last one was a short purple haired girl with really strange looking ears who wore a bored expression on her face.

Classic Sonic blinked. Were they talking to him? The one with spiky red hair than stepped up.

"Hey Sonic! How've you been man! We were just wondering if you wanted to come hang out with us! We're going to go sing karaoke!" He grinned, flashing his sharp teeth.

"Yeah! It's going to be super fun!" The pink skinned girl exclaimed as she jumped up to show her excitement.

"Yeah, it's going to be totes cool or whatever..." The girl with the strange ears spoke, but she seemed more focused texting on her phone than with him.

"You should join us man!" The blond boy insisted

Classic Sonic blinked once more. These guys must have been from his future self's class. And they must have thought he was their Sonic. But Classic Sonic had gotten so used to being called Maurice that he didn't even realize they were calling out to him at first. But Classic Sonic couldn't lie. He was starting to grow quite fond of the nickname. It had a unique charm to it.

The boy with spiky red hair than tilted his head, a puzzled expression was brought to his face as he began to strangely look Classic Sonic up and down, seemingly analyzing him.

"H-Hey Sonic, no offense but...Did you gain weight?"

A loud gasp was heard from the other three with even the strange eared girl looking up from her phone in surprise. The pink skinned girl than slapped the boy from the back of his head.

"KIRISHIMA WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT!? THAT'S SO RUDE OF YOU!"

"WH-WHAT!? IT WAS AN HONEST QUESTION!" He shot back.

Classic Sonic opened up his mouth in surprise before he frowned and began to rub his stomach in slight embarrassment.

Okay time for the reviews!

First up we have Grand Chaos Master's review

Those are some interesting ideas for shadow that could work but only for another story. Since I just think for example "shadow beating the shit out of the league of villains" while would be cool to see it would also be kinda random and take away the spotlight from both sonic's as well as the mha cast. Which is why i dont plan on bringing in other Sonic characters.

However that story I mentioned on wattpad does so I recommend you to check it out as it is great and uses the same idea!

As for your other review sorry i wasn't satisfied with the earlier chapters so I decided to update them. Fixing grammar mistakes, adding new dialogue and even adding and changing some scenes.

For Monster King's review

Will do! Appreciate the support!

For greninja 32's review

Wont be a ship but the two girls certainly do love the little blue guy!

For a guest's review

Im well aware that Sonic is faster than light. During this chapter I had even shown why the Sonic's are in a league of thier own with their matches. But here's the thing, Sonic wouldn't just destroy his classmates like that, its not in his charcter. He wants to support them and see them succeed even if that means he has to hold back. Which is what Izuku ends up realizing during the chapter.

For metalman777's review

Point 1, That's true, Sonic gets more powerful as time goes on but like a lot of charcters he can be inconsistent with his power sometimes. For example in Sonic generations he was fixing space and time with his speed. But then immediately in the next game he was struggling with the deadly six who he should have easily beaten.

Point 2, That is also true, but Im going to try and explain something to you. From a story standpoint powerscaling doesn't work. Like for instance if we had 616 comic spider-man pop into the mha universe and fight All Might than spider-man would clear because of the feats he has. But from a story standpoint it wouldn't make much sense for a character like spider-man who usually can't change the weather with a punch to beat a charcter who can like All Might.

The same can somewhat be said about Sonic. While I 100% believe Sonic is faster than anybody in the verse and can beat the verse with ease that dosent make him invincible (except when he's super sonic). Sonic has tanked hits from beings who are more powerful than All Might and All for one but from a story standpoint it wouldn't make much sense to the viewer for Sonic (a charcter whos known for his speed not durability and strength) to get punched by All might and not feel a thing.

I hope this makes sense in some way but unfortunately some nerfs have to be made but im trying to keep those nerfs as small as possible

For ajweems21's review

Appreciate it! I apologize about the grammar I hope ive been doing better with it. But yeah i do gotta give some credit to the infamous footwork story as it was a bit inspiration. Sucks how the author stopped uploading.

For Christopherprime22's review

Thanks man Im glad people think im doing good. And im guessing your talking about the beginning of the footwork story.

When i read it I didn't have a problem with it but i can understand why some people would.

For a guests review

Wow thats a lot. I put it in a translator and im glad you love the story so much! Thanks man!

For a guests review

Love that song :)

For Mark the gamer of grima's review

Hmmm something tells me they might. *wink*

For a Writers review

Honestly its a interesting offer but im going to need to know more before I make a decision. Like if its just going to be my story with slight tweaks here and there than im going to have to decline because then their wouldn't be much of a reason for me to continue writing this if theirs someone else writing it.

Now if your using the same idea but creating your own story than by all means go ahead. But yeah im going to need to know more.

Later guys!
