Back from commercial, we see Ringmaster announcing the next match "The following contest is scheduled for one fall!"

The crowd heard the My Hero theme as Izuku came out from the curtain.

"introducing first, from Musutafu Japan... Izuku! DEKU! Midoriya!" Ringmaster introduced.

Deku adjusts his sleeves as he walks down the ramp, the look in his eyes tells the story of a man keeping his emotions in check as he thinks about his rivalry with Henry Rhodes. What he thought was just a guy mad he didn't go to challenge for the world title and is taking his anger out on the first person he saw, became personal when he attacked a man's girlfriends.

Deku climbs up on the apron and leaps into the ring, he then circles the ring and looks to the stage as his opponent makes their entrance.

Which happened to be a really large man in a butcher outfit, effortlessly carrying a big chunk of uncooked meat with one hand over his shoulder, with a cleaver in the other. He gave a hearty laugh as he came down.

"And his opponent, from Willimate, weighing in at 312lbs... Larry Chiang!" Ringmaster announced, as out came Larry from the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.

"Once more we got some Dead Rising representatives, with pschyopath Larry Chiang." Johnny told the people watching on TV. "Built like a fridge and the strength of a bull."

"Don't let his chipper demeanor fool yah, this guy rendered Carlito Keyes out of commission in the story, and he gave Frank West a run for his money." Nick added.

"Deku will have his work cut out against thhs massive man." Johnny said.

Deku took a breath as Larry dropped the cleaver and carcus before he grabbed the top rope and stepped up to the apron and over the ropes, "Haha! Lets give them a show Deku boy!" Larry cackled.

Deku nodded as he got into a stance as ref Zooble called for the bell, "Good luck." They told the green haired hero in training.

Deku immediately came out of the gate and punches away at Larry, who laughs as Deku through light speed punches at his big bulky chest as if he were Raiden against Senator Armstrong.

Larry then goes for an overhead chop, but Deku reverses and hits a flurry of kicks to the butcher's chest which knocks him into the ropes. He then runs the ropes and Larry catches him with a Lou Thez Press and slams him repeatedly into the mat.

"And that early flurry of offense gets snuffed out by the sure power of Larry Chiang." Johnny said.

"Indeed, of the pschyos in Dead Rising, you can argue that Larry is the strongest due to his emposing frame and his occupation as a butcher." Nick said.

Larry then hoisted up Deku and tossed him into the northeast corner, Larry then hit a series of short arm lariats before he charges across the ring- only for Deku to chase after him and surprise Larry with a running corner dropkick.

Deku then pulled Larry out of the corner before he hopped on the middle rope and nailed a diving bulldog to the butcher.

Deku quickly rolled Larry over for the cover, but before Zooble can get into position, Larry launched him in the air.

"Larry with an emphatic kick out." Johnny said.

"Butcher muscles." Nick comments.

Larry gets up, Deku leaped at the butcher and fired shots at his face. And he goes for a wind up kick, only for Larry to catch his foot. Deku hopped on one leg as Chiang stands up and flips Deku so hard he does a backflip and lands on his back.

"A hard bump from Deku." Nick said.

Larry then ran the ropes and goes for a splash, only Deku to roll out of the way. Larry winced from the failed move before he gets hit with a shining wizard from Izuku. The green haired hero then hit a bottom rope springboard moonsault.

Then a second rope springboard moonsault.

And finished it off with a top rope springboard moonsault.

Izuku then hooks the leg.

Zooble is then able to make a count.

1.

Larry pops the shoulder up.

Deku then gets up and nails a series of kicks to Larry as he gets up, only for the butcher to drop the green haired hero with a spinebuster. Larry then hooks Deku's legs and hoisted him up before driving him down with a powerbomb, he then repeated this over and over again.

Larry then tries this again, but Izuku punches away at Larry's head before he grabs the ropes and sends Larry to the ringside area. Deku steadies his footing before he springs off the ropes and hits Larry with a crossbody that sends him crashing into the announce table.

"And Deku with the high flying crossbody!" Johnny called.

"And right through our announce table!" Nick adds.

Deku and Larry gather their bearings as Zooble counted them out.

1.

2.

Deku rises to his feet as Larry is pushing himself up, he then grabs Larry by the apron.

3.

Deku pushes Larry into the ring, the butcher rolls to the center of the ring. Deku pulls himself up onto the apron, he then steadies as Larry gets up.

Deku then springs off the ropes and goes for a diving DDT- only for Larry to catch him and adjusted the move to hit a suplex. Larry then kicks Deku in the gut which sends him to the southeast corner, he then pressed his size 16 boot in the face of the hero in training.

Larry then stomps Deku's midsection until the teen hero is sat down in the corner, he then ran the ropes and hits a running hip attack.

Larry then tosses Deku out of the corner before he climbs up to the middle rope, before he leaps, "No, this needs a little more pop." He then climbs up to the top rope, but this second's hesitation is enough for Deku to shoot up and hit a frankensteiner off the ropes!

"Deku sends Larry to the floor!" Johnny said

"Can he finish the job?" Nick asks

Deku then climbed up to the top rope, he then hits a corkscrew moonsault that lands flush on Larry's midsection.

Chicago Sault!

"Deku with the corkscrew moonsault!" Johnny said

Deku then pins Larry.

Deku gets up as Zooble rings the bell.

"And Deku wins!" Nick said.

"A big momentum boost for his match with Henry Rhodes." Johnny said.

Zooble holds up Deku's hand as Ringmaster announced, "Here's your winner! Deku!" He presents.

Deku smiles at his first win under the UFW banner, and he beat a tough opponent. But before he can celebrate anymore he sees a video feed on the stage monitor of Tsuyu and Panty doing some training drills, confused why this playing he watches.

Nick asks, "Johnny why are we seeing this?"

"I'm not sure." Johnny said, "And this is playing right after Deku won his match." He then goes wide eyed. "Oh dear."

Back on the feed the girls are still training, with Tsuyu slapping Panty with her tongue when the blonde angel gets too gropy with her grabbing techniques.

"Come on Tsu-Tsu~" Panty laughed at the smack.

"What did we say about grabbing like that in public?" Tsuyu deadpanned.

Just then they and the audience hear... Gone Guru by Lifeseekers.

"Oh no, I know that tune!" Nick freaked.

"Do you hear that?" Panty asks as Tsuyu catches coming round a bend on a jeep, three unknown guys in jumpsuits, revealed as the convicts from Dead Rising, zoomed by and almost hit Panty, only for the frog girl to push her out of the way to leave her to get a drive by with a steel chair.

"Oh no!" Johnny said.

Panty gasps before she glares at the convicts as the drive back around, only for Panty to thwip off her namesake and morph it into a gun to shoot the front left tire causing the convicts to crash.

They try to go after the angel, but are stopped by an incoming Deku and Uraraka, who kick the driver into production truck and judo throw the passenger seat convict into a car hood respectively. Before Uraraka smashes the third with Deku's knee to the skull.

Security came round and took the convicts into custody, while Panty and backstage producers and officials checked on Tsuyu. Deku and Ochacho then came over and helped up Tsuyu, "Tsu!"

"Izuku?" Tsu looks up in delirium.

"Come on." Panty said as she helped Deku carry Tsuyu to the medical room, putting aside any lust for now.

"Henry says hi!" One of the convicts laughed to Deku as he was dragged away in handcuffs, and one of tbe guards shut him up with a right hook. Deku growls as a small part of him was plotting the to maim his opponent at the continental. But first he needs to get Tsu tended to.
