The Race is On!

Reina picked up her head to look forward, and was taken back a bit when she saw someone different in the crowd. In fact it was someone that was familiar to her; it was the same boy she had been seeing, wearing her own red hat. He was standing beside two people. One of them was of herself as a child, as she looked happy to be beside the boy, tugging on his hand. The second was a woman; her hair was purple like her but was in a lighter shade, and the other half of her hair was green unlike her aqua green hair. Her appearance other than her short bob style cut hair was hard to tell as Reina tilted her head slightly.

"What in the…?"

She started to slowly walk towards the people she saw in front of her; her eyes had been focused on the woman in particular as she reached out to her.

"...I've… I've seen her before."

Just as she was within reach with the woman before her, she heard the buzzer sound off causing her to jump; the three people disappeared the moment she blinked.

"START!" She heard Nemuri yell before she was bushed by the ground of students through the red gate.

It took Reina all but a minute to regain herself as she quickly went to run along with the crowd out of the stadium and into the open area provided. Though she had a tough time getting there as the space in the tunnel was small, causing everyone to squish at each other.

"OW! MOVE YOUR ELBOW!"

"WATCH IT THAT'S MY FOOT!"

"MOVE IT DAMN IT!"

Reina let out a groan as she tried her best to get herself to move forward, though had difficulty doing so as a couple of times she almost found herself tripping on herself again.

"Damn it! I gotta get ahead of this crowd somehow! But how do I--?!"

Her thoughts had been cut off when she along with several students felt a cold rush go through the tunnel and just outside. She felt her ankles were suddenly trapped in ice as were the other students around her.

"This is--!!"

Reina saw two familiar people run past her and the crowd and went ahead. It was Shoto and Fubuki that quickly got ahead. As they both ran, they created a trail of ice as they ran. "Sorry." Shoto said as he ran ahead.

All the students started to try to pry themselves from the ice, though most couldn't due to the pain. "Okay, we're doing this now!" Reina exclaimed as she quickly broke out her sword. Drawing her blade and giving it a swing breaking ice instantly. Sheathing the sword she quickly activated her Quirk as she jumped, making her jump over the crowd. She had been able to keep momentum as she stepped on the heads of the crowd.

She was able to get herself ahead of the crowd; though not only had it been her, she saw Katsuki, Momo, Yuga, Eijirou, Chouko, Floyd and Gio had flown with her.

"TAKE THAT!!" They all yelled.

"I WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY SO EASILY!!" Katsuki shouted as he flew with his Quirk, "HALF N HALF BASTARDS!!"

Reina smiled before she said to Shoto and Fubuki, as with the help of her Quirk she had been able to jump over the ice, "I'll show you guys!"

Floyd said with a smile as he drew himself a pole to help him gain some air, "I'M GONNA GET FIRST PLACE!"

"Don't count me out just yet!" Gio yelled as he was jumping like Mario; hitting the students head like what Reina had done earlier.

Reina found herself neck and neck with Gio, Katsuki and Floyd as they went across the ice to attempt to catch up to the Todoroki twins. Floyd attempted to trip the two of them by drawing up a couple of banana peels and throwing them at their feet. They managed to dodge with ease at this.

"Banana peels!?" Reina said with an amused smile, "Is that really the best you got!?"

"NOPE! Plan B!" Floyd shouted as he drew up what looked like a hovercraft from a certain video game. "This is something I learned from Gio! I call this My--INK RIDE!"

(Music Starts: City Trial-Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)

He jumped up on his ride as blasts away leaving an ink trail while squirting some on some of the General Studies and Class 1-B.

"Gah! There's some ink in my mouth!" Kuriruzu shouted. "DAMN THAT AIHARA!"

"THAT PAINTBRUSH HAIRED FREAK!" Tetsutetsu shouted. "IMMA END HIS LIFE!"

"GET IN LINE!" Katsuki shouted from a distance

"What a pest..." Hitoshi said with a sigh as he had been riding on a bunch of people who appeared to have blank expressions.

Todoroki looked to see Floyd on his ride, as he started to catch up with them.

"Fubuki!"

Fubuki nodded her head and jumped into the air; concentrating, she was able to create a spear made from the ice itself. The second she was able to complete the spear, she threw it towards Floyd, aiming just underneath his vehicle. It landed just in front before he knew what happened he ended up crashing. "OH COME ON!" Floyd yelled.

"SEE YOU AT THE FINISH LINE FLOYD-KUN!" Reina shouted as she passed him.

"LATERS!" Gio shouted just as he passed him too.

"HEY! NO FAIR!" Floyd shouted just as Katsuki passed by him. He quickly fixed up his ride by drawing new parts before he yelled, "IT'S NOT GAME OVER JUST YET!"

He boosted some more, this time with twice the ink it made squirting on most of the general studies group.

"OH COME ON!" One of the 1-B students shouted.

"GAH! My hair!" One of the blonde students shouted.

"THAT STUPID ART STUDENT IS IN FOR IT NOW!" Tetsutetsu yelled as he started to sprint.

"Oh looks like Little Miss Perfect isn't the only one who's on my hit list!" Kuriruzu growled as she did the same.

As Reina started to catch up to Shoto and Fubuki, she looked behind her to see who was attempting to catch up, and came up with a strategy in case someone attempted to pass her. Though what she or anyone else had expected to see was Mineta pulling ahead of the rest of the crowd. With the help of his purple balls attached to his head he threw them just ahead of them. He jumped overhead to the three of them.

"HA! I'VE OUTWITTED YOU ALL!" Mineta yelled, "HOW PATHETIC! NOW PREPARE FOR MY SPECIAL ATTACK!"

Mineta pulled out two purple balls from his head and aimed for Reina; his face turned red and his nose started to bleed.

"OH HELL NO!" Reina yelled as she started to pick up the pace.

"GRA--!"

WHAM!

Reina and others had been taken back when Mineta had suddenly been sent flying, nearly off of the track courtesy of something familiar. It was the faux villains back when they were in the entrance exam. Reina stopped in her tracks when the faux Villains surrounded her and some other students.

"Obstacles have suddenly shown up!" Hizashi said over the speakers, "Starting with the first barrier! Robo Inferno!"

"These are the Zero Pointers from the Entrance Exams!" Gio exclaimed.

"You gotta be kidding me!" Denki shouted.

"So this is what they used in the exams." Shoto said as one of them loomed over him and his sister.

"How did they even get the money to pay for these!?" Momo said.

Reina merely smiled at this, as she drew her sword; one of the robots reached for her. "I've beaten these things before…" She started to say, "... I'll do it again!"

Reina quickly got under the robot just as it was within reach of her. She sliced the arm in two making the robot stumble back before she used her telekinesis to throw the arm to trip the other robots before she quickly got over them with the help of her Quirk. Just as she managed to get over them, she saw Shoto and Fubuki take each other's hand before they used their Quirk to move at an incredible speed. It was than Shoto used his hand to freeze them over before they both ran under its legs.

"They really are strong!" Reina said, impressed as she was now neck and neck with them, just as the robot fell over, nearly hitting the students that were behind them.

"The Todoroki Twins and Reina Nouki from Class 1-A are the first ones through!" Hizashi soon said over the PA, "As expected from the twins who got in through recommendation and someone who had gotten to the top in the Entrance Exams!"

The robots soon had Gio and Floyd surrounded and looked as though they were cornered. Both Floyd and Gio smiled however.

Floyd said as he drew up something for his vehicle, "This is where the fun begins!"

Gio rummaged through his pockets and took what appeared to be a bell with black beady eyes. "CAT MARIO POWERS, ACTIVATE!" Gio yelled before he put the bell on his neck. In a puff of smoke, he was suddenly in a cat jump suit that was in the color of blue and white, like the PE uniform before he got on all fours.

"LET'S-A-GO--NYAN!" Gio shouted before he quickly ran up the robot at a fast pace.

"HEY!" Floyd yelled before he went to catch up with him, "YOU WON'T GET AWAY THAT EASILY!"

Katsuki took everyone by surprise when he quickly flew over the robot landing at the top of them; he had been able to evade the punch that the robot threw at him. "I'M NOT LETTING YOU GET AHEAD OF ME!!" Katsuki yelled as he landed on top of the robot.

"Class 1-A's Katsuki Bakugou, Floyd Aihara, and Gioco Terebi are going overhead since the bottoms are blocked!" Hizashi said, "How clever!"

Soon enough, Sero, Fumikage and Chouko followed them.

"Sorry, but I'm gonna have to take your idea!" Chouko said with a smile.

"Hope you don't mind, I'm gonna hitch ride!" Fumikage said.

Katsuki quickly jumped off the robot with Floyd and Gio following after him, as well as Sero, Fumikage and Chouko who had quickly landed on the ground and started running. Katsuki and Floyd were both neck and neck and they actually glared daggers at one another.

"DON'T GET IN THE WAY YOU INKHEADED BASTARD!" Katsuki yelled at Floyd, as he created a smoke screen thanks to his Quirk. Floyd quickly drew up a fan and blew some of it Sero's face making him cough.

"FUNNY! I WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME THING!" Floyd shouted as he used the wind to his advantage, he boosted up in the air catching up to Katsuki, "NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL AN AIR RIDE! HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?!"

"F*** YOU!!" He yelled as he flipped him off, before increasing his blasts which nearly hit Floyd only for him to dodge and hit another robot that came after them.

"Uh-oh, looks like there's heat coming from Aihara and Bakugou!" Hizashi announced, "The question is who will catch up to the three in the lead!?"

"IT'S GONNA BE ME!!" Katsuki and Floyd both yelled as they went in each other's faces.

"They're even looking to pick a fight in a race!? Why am I not surprised!?" Reina said, having seen this from a distance as she tried her best to keep up. Reina was quick to take notice that Momo had used her Quirk to make a cannon, blasting the robots down and allowing the other students to pass without any problems. Reina soon had a somewhat worried look on her face when she thought of a certain boy with green hair, "I hope Izuku-kun is doing alright. After all he can't use the One For All as of yet. I wish there was a way I could--"

"OH CRAP!" Reina soon yelled aloud.

She quickly deactivated her Quirk, causing her to slide, eventually coming to a halt when she saw that Shoto and Fubuki stopped; some of her other classmates joined up with them. She saw that before her eyes there was a canyon with large gaps in between each rock formation, and the only thing that was a bridge was a single white string between each gap and rock. The ground wasn't seen as what had followed was darkness at the bottom of it as Reina peered over the ledge.

"If you thought the first barrier was easy, than take a look at the second!" Hizashi said to the students and audience, "If you fall you're out! If you don't wanna fall, then crawl! It's--THE FALL!"

"Well it certainly lives up to its name." Reina said aloud.

"When did they even have time to build this!?" Ochaco exclaimed.

"How are we supposed to get across!?" Mina exclaimed.

Tsuyu soon stepped forward, and some were a bit taken back when she jumped a good feet away from the crowd as she landed on the rope; She started to make her way across as she was on all fours. "This is like a glorified tightrope." She said.

"Whoa, she's going over like a pro!" Ochaco said in awe.

"I never thought she could move so fast!" Reina commented.

"Yeah!" Gio said as he was still in his catsuit, "Well two can play at that game!" Gio backed up a good few feet before he ran and jumped. He was able to gain a good distance as he landed just halfway on the rope.

"COOL!" Reina, Ochaco and Mina shouted at the same time.

They soon heard someone giggling behind them, as it had been out of excitement. They turned to see a girl with pink locks and a pair of yellow eyes and having a pair of goggles; though what really took them back was the fact that she had on some sort of leg devices on her and another around her waist which looked to be rockets.

"Here it is!" She said, "Here's my chance to show off! It's time for my support items to be in the limelight! LOOK, ALL YOU SUPPORT COMPANIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY!"

"All those devices and talk for companies… You must be from the support course." Reina quickly concluded.

"What's with all that equipment!?" Ochaco said.

"Are you even allowed to bring that kind of stuff!?" Mina asked, "I know Rei-Rei gotta have some of her equipment, but what about you!?"

"Well the Hero Course undergoes combat training regularly, so in order to keep things fair, we are able to keep things fair, we are allowed to equip items from our costumes--Or perhaps I should say--" Suddenly the device from her waist fired a grappling hook and attached itself to one of the rock formations, "--The support course does!"

She soon started to hoover, taking the three of them by surprise before she made her way across; she pulled herself up before they saw her on the side of the rock formation getting herself up; and she flew with a leap and they saw her further ahead than Gio and even Tsuyu.

"Wow…" Mina said speechless.

"There's no way in hell I'm letting this stop me!" Reina soon said with a determined look on her face.

She took Mina and Ochaco by surprise when she ran onto the rope, and kept up her pace despite having to struggle on her balance. Ochaco and her looked to one another before they followed behind her post haste. The other students quickly followed behind while Shoto and Fubuki took a different path. With the help of their ice they were able to slide over the rope and pass many of the students from other courses before they reached the end.

"And the Todoroki Twins are the first to get past the second barrier!" Hizashi announced taking some if not most of the students back.

Reina soon saw something fly overhead; she had been quick to realize it had been Katsuki and Floyd, who had flown overhead, catching up to Shoto and Fubuki.

"DAMN IT!" Katsuki yelled as he pushed Floyd off of him. Floyd had been quick to catch himself, before he went after Katsuki, as he flew to the twins. Floyd yelled as he drew up another weapon, "HAMMER TIME!"

With his hovercraft he spun around like a top aiming towards Katsuki and the Twins. He managed to knock Katsuki out of the air, and caused the Todoroki Twins to stumble, and he found himself ahead. He said triumphantly, "FORE!"

"WRONG SPORT!" Gio yelled as he went to the stairs still running on all fours before he was bonked on the head with a smaller hammer courtesy of Floyd as he said, "WHO ASKED YOU?!"

"YOU DAMN HALFBREED!!" Katsuki yelled before he rocketed himself towards him and they engaged in another fight.

"Are they really both serious?" Fubuki signed to her brother as she helped him to stand back up.

"I guess." Shoto said, "Let's go." Thus the twins started to run to catch up to Floyd and Katsuki.

After struggling to keep balance, she finally managed to get to the end, passing other students along the way as she finally managed to catch up with the small group. She couldn't help but look back with a bit of worry as she still thought about Izuku and how he was doing. She wanted to go back to at least see where he was but she knew she couldn't. She knew Izuku wouldn't want her to do that, and ruin her chance. She didn't think he or rather herself wouldn't forgive themselves if that were the case.

She had finally reached the final barrier when she once again found the twins had stopped again.

"And now, we've finally come to the third and final barrier!" Hizashi soon said over the PA, "The reality here is… It's a minefield!"

"MINEFIELD!?" Reina and Shoto shouted in unison while Fubuki looked shocked.

"It's set up so that you can't tell where the mines are if you don't look carefully!" Hizashi explained, "So you have to exploit your arms and legs! By the way these landmines are for the games, so they're not that powerful, but they're loud and flashy enough to make you wet your pants!"

"That depends on the person." They heard Shota add.

"What does that even mean?" Reina said questiongly.

They soon saw a student from the general studies had caught up with them. "HA! TAKE THAT CLASS 1-A!" The student yelled. Though he didn't notice that he stepped on the landmine.

BOOM!

He let out a scream as he found himself flying and Reina was taken back by this as they saw him fly off the course; Even Floyd and Katsuki saw this as they stopped fighting before they fell onto the ground since they stopped flying momentarily.

"Oh, that's what they meant." She said, astonished.

Floyd added as he stood up, "Ha! SERVES YOU RIGHT, ASSWIPE!"

"WHY ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT THIS!?" Reina shouted as she hit Floyd on the head; that's when she noticed that Shoto and Fubuki were both gone. She saw that they started to make their way across the course as they had been moving in between where the mines were placed, while the rest of the students that passed her and Floyd accidentally stepped on the mines and flew at least twenty feet in the air.

"CRAP! GOTTA MOVE!" Reina said before she activated her Quirk again just as she took a leap; she jumped in between where she saw the mines were placed and leaped tremendous gaps.

"Oh man! Like a wise hero said--Gotta go fast!" Floyd said as he added more parts on his ink ride and zip between were he saw the mines while his ink ride spouted more ink. Gio soon caught up as he saw more students set off the mines.

"Time for another power up!" Gio said while after a puff of smoke he was back to normal. He soon took out a star with black beady eyes on it. "MARIO STAR POWER ACTIVATE!" Gio yelled before he placed the star on his chest; he soon started to flash bright lights before he started to run, purposely activating some of the mines though he didn't seem affected by it whatsoever.

Reina continued to move forward; she had almost found herself stepping on a mine, and flinched slightly whenever someone accidentally stepped onto the mine. She wanted to be able to turn around so that she could see if Izuku had caught up, but all she could do was keep moving forward as she was more afraid of the mines if anything.

"Izuku-kun!" She thought to herself, "You had better be okay! Please! You have to be--!"

Reina's thoughts were soon interrupted when she saw something out of the ordinary. It was the boy wearing the red hat once more with herself of a child again. This time they both looked scared as she watched shadowy figures surrounding them. She saw the same woman she had seen before, this time armed with what looked to be… Her own sword?

CLICK.

The next thing Reina knew she was flying in the air with a colorful explosion as she had accidentally stepped on a mine. She let out a scream before she landed on the ground hard. Her vision had been a blur and she heard a pierce ringing go through her ears and felt an intense pain in her head. Many of the students passed over her not paying any mind to her as she struggled to get herself up off the ground. Though everytime she heard an explosion from the mine she found herself curling up into a ball.

For a moment she found herself in a different place; and instead of the dirt she felt underneath her, she instead felt hard cold concrete. She found herself underneath what appeared to be a bench, as she smelled fire and saw nothing but red in her vision. She heard the sound of people screaming, crying out in agony and despair. She saw people attacking each other and blood splatters onto the floor; she couldn't even scream as she saw some fall where she had been. Some of the words were incoherent as most of them sounded distorted and not human, which couldn't help but scare her.

"Wh--What's happening!?"

She soon heard someone call out to her.

"Rei-chan!? Rei-chan, where are you!?"

She saw a pair of feet stepped into view; a pair of red sneakers to be exact, covered in a bit of mud and a couple of holes were in shoes as whoever it belonged frantically looked around. For some reason Reina looked relieved. The boy soon kneeled down to reveal it had been the boy from many times before; He held his hand out to her.

"We have to go! Now!"

Reina reached out to the young boy before--

"Reina-chan! Stay with me!"

Reina blinked and found herself back in the Sports Festival, where everyone had still stepped on the mines, and flying high into the sky while screaming. She was moving but it wasn't of her own movements as her arm was over someone's shoulder. She realized who it had been when she saw a familiar face with freckles and green hair that helped her to stand.

"Izu...Ku-kun…?" Reina managed to say as she sounded a bit weak just as she felt her nose start to bleed.

"Just hang on!" Izuku said as he kept his hold on her, while he had what looked to be a large piece of a robot on his back, "I've got you!"

Izuku quickly used the robot piece that was on his back to protect himself and her from the shockwave of the blast as another mine had been set off; Reina couldn't help but flinch slightly when at the shockwave.

"What are you… Doing here…?" Reina groaned weakly, "... You should be… Focusing on… Winning this race…"

"There's no way I'm going to leave you out here like this!" Izuku told her, "You didn't leave me behind in the training exercise, so I'm not going to do that to you here!"

Reina's eyes widened slightly at his words before she laughed to herself weakly, "... Seriously…? You're being… Stubborn now…?"

Izuku couldn't help but laugh too before he looked ahead, while keeping the piece of the robot in front of them. He knew that by now Reina, and him were way behind in the race and that currently Katsuki, Shoto, Fubuki and even Floyd were in the lead. He had to find a way to make himself--No, to make themselves known. He had to find a way, like All Might would.

He had been too deep in his own head, he felt someone shove them accidentally causing them to fall forward.

"OH GOD NO!" He exclaimed, when he realized that they were about to fall into a mine.

Just when he was about to land face first, something actually stopped him when something hooked on the back of his jacket. He realized that it was a fishing hook made of ink and he had been quick to conclude who it belonged to.

"Floyd-san!?" Izuku exclaimed as he saw him reel himself over to them.

"Hey!" Floyd said with a smile of his own when he approached, taking care not to step on a mine.

Izuku couldn't help but feel relieved to see him, but that expression quickly changed when he realized something. "You were in the lead with Kaa-chan, Todoroki-san and Fubuki-san! Why did you give that up?!"

Floyd laughed to himself as he rubbed underneath his nose, "Just like you dudes didn't leave me behind during the training session! I'M NOT GONNA DO THE SAME!"

Izuku smiled at Floyd before he said, "Reina-chan stepped on a mine earlier, while her Quirk was active! The blast really made her weak, so we have to find a way to get ahead of everyone and fast!"

Floyd thought to himself before he took notice of the piece of the robot that Izuku had on his back. Floyd soon hatched an idea as he said, "Call me crazy, but I got a plan!"

"Huh?" Izuku said with a bit of confusion.

Hizashi soon said over the PA, "In a stunning turn of events, Midoriya, and Aihara of Class 1-A had turned back to help their fellow classmates in her time of need; Talk about sportsmanship! How will they be able to get ahead of the rest!?"

The next thing Izuku knew, he, Reina and Floyd were on top of the robot piece with a set of rockets and a set of wheels that Floyd had managed to draw up. Despite Izuku looking nervous he still had a determined look in his eyes. "Are you sure this is going to work Floyd-san?" Izuku asked Floyd as he prepared himself.

"Hey, your setup is more safe than mine." Floyd said as he added final parts to his ink ride, "Worse case scenario, you go flying to space or a nearby building and I fry. Better that option than Reina-chan dying."

Izuku gulped but he had been mentally prepared, "... Okay… Let's do this!"

Floyd nodded and placed Reina on Izuku's back, before he drew a safety harness around her and Izuku so that she wouldn't fall off.

"You ready?!" Floyd asked

"I'm ready when you are." Izuku replied.

Floyd smiled as he drew up a hammer and hit one of the mines as he shouted "Then without further ado.... BANANA SLAMMA!"

Hitting the mine, it caused an explosion so huge, it actually ignited the rockets on the back of the makeshift cart, causing a chain reaction, making several other explosions. The blast caused them to fly high into the sky drawing the attention of everyone, even Shoto, Fubuki and Katsuki who had ceased their fighting that they had been doing earlier; everyone protected themselves from the shockwave created from the explosion.

"WOAH! Was it an accident or did they do that on purpose!?" Hizashi yelled over the PA, "Class 1-A's Midoriya, Aihara and Nouki are in hot pursuit with that huge blast!"

This had taken everyone back as they flew over them, eventually they even took Shoto, Fubuki and Katsuki by surprise when they were just above their heads and a few feet ahead of them. "AND THEY TAKE THE LEAD!!" Hizashi shouted in the PA.

"THERE'S TOO MUCH FORCE!!" Izuku yelled through the wind to Floyd, "WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO LAND SAFELY!!"

Floyd shouted back at him as he went to draw up something to at least slow them down, "ON IT!"

"DEKU! INKHEAD!"

They soon noticed that Katsuki rocketed himself forward towards them with his Quirk, "DON'T GET AHEAD OF ME!!" He yelled.

"Fubuki come on!" Shoto said as he held his hand out to her. Fubuki nodded and took his hand before they started to create a path of ice, quickly doing their best to catch up to them.

"The three students formerly in the lead have stopped trying to slow down each other and are now chasing Midoriya, Aihara and Nouki!" Hizashi said with excitement in his tone of voice, "Now that they have a common enemy they've stopped fighting!"

Floyd soon noticed that they started to slow down. "CRAP, THEY'RE GOING TO PASS US AT THIS RATE!" Floyd yelled, "WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING!"

Izuku soon felt a light bulb go off in his head, "FLOYD-SAN! HANG ONTO ME!!"

Floyd nodded and did just that; Izuku held onto the loose wire onto the piece as he pulled over his head. Using Katsuki and Shoto as stepping stones he placed both of his feet before he threw the piece onto a mine purposely setting it off. Thanks to the ink rockets and wheels it set off a strong explosion, once more taking the three of them by surprise as they found themselves surrounded with smoke as they sent themselves flying even further on the track. Luckily Floyd drew up a giant sponge and threw it where they were going to land, and they bounced off of it before they landed on their feet. They both started to run just as they stood up.

"Hey, is it hot or is it just me?" Floyd asked.

Izuku's eyes widened when he saw the state of Floyd's jacket, "FLOYD-SAN! YOU'RE ON FIRE!"

Floyd wondered what he meant, until he saw that his jacket was stained with ink and there was a seemingly large flame on it. Floyd screamed as he ripped the jacket off before throwing it to the ground, waving it in the air in an attempt to put it out; He soon shouted, "OH CRAP! OH CRAP! BAD DAY! BAD DAY!"

"Well this is certainly a turn of events!" Hizashi said, "The students from Class 1-A have made it across the minefield in an instant despite one of them being almost badly burnt and one barely conscious! Eraserhead, your class is amazing! What are you teaching them!?"

"I didn't do anything." Shota replied, just as they all ran, after Floyd put out the fire, "They got each other fired up on their own."

With Reina still on Izuku's back he ran at full speed, while keeping a hand underneath her to keep her steady; Floyd ran just behind them followed by Katsuki, Shoto and Fubuki who had been doing their best to keep up the pace. They all entered the tunnel, each of them neck and neck with each other.

"UA sports festival, first year stage!" Hizashi said.

"You're ignoring me!?" Shota exclaimed.

Though Hizashi ignored this as he continued, "Who could've predicted their developments at the beginning or this conclusion! Right now the first one back to the stadium is that man with one of the top students of the entrance exam!...IZUKU MIDORIYA! AND REINA NOUKI!"

Izuku was the first to step back into the stadium and the first thing he had been greeted with was confetti; The crowd cheered loudly as Izuku caught his breath, just as the safety harness of ink dissolved. He quickly caught Reina just as she slipped off his back.

"Reina-chan!" He exclaimed as he helped her to sit on the ground; He shook her slightly, "Reina-chan, can you hear me!?"

"... I… Can…" She groaned as she picked up her head, "... Did… Did we make it…?"

Izuku nodded, his eyes started to water, "... Yeah… We did."

Reina looked up to Izuku, as she gave him a small smile, "... Don't cry… You dork… Just… Smile…" Reina's eyes finally closed shut, and she started to breath softly. Izuku was quick to realize that she had just fallen asleep, as he couldn't help but smile and hugged her gently as if she had been a teddy bear.

Floyd soon emerged through the tunnel, followed by Katsuki, Shoto and Fubuki, and they caught their breath. No one seemed to notice that Katsuki had grasped his arms as it shook; he clenched it as he let out a hiss, "Again… Damn… Damn it…!"

"Reina-chan!" He heard Floyd yell.

Katsuki looked over to where he heard Floyd's voice, and his eyes widened when he saw Reina's eyes closed shut and her nose had been bleeding. He quickly went over to her as he let go of his arm completely forgetting out the pain he felt.

"Reina!" He called out drawing the attention of Izuku and Floyd.

"Ka-Kaa-chan!?" Izuku couldn't help but stammer, as Floyd quickly readied himself.

"What the hell happened!?" Katsuki yelled, giving a look over to Izuku, making him shrink, ignoring Floyd altogether.

"Uh--Well--Reina-chan stepped on a mine earlier!" Izuku explained as he couldn't help but shake a little, "Her Quirk was still active, so the blast took a lot out of her."

"SHE WHAT!?" Katsuki exclaimed, making Izuku jump.

Floyd yelled as he drew up a weapon, "NUH-UH! NOT TODAY MAN!"

Katsuki ignored Floyd as he couldn't help but have a thought, "No, this isn't right. Reina's never THAT careless. She always has her guard up and is always careful. Than that means--"

Katsuki's thought's had been cut off when Floyd hit him on the head, "HEY HALFBREED, WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?"

"Duh, for you to focus?" Floyd said as he pointed to the crowd.

"I HAVE PLENTY OF FOCUS YOU INKHEADED LOSER!" Katsuki shouted.

Floyd yelled back at him, "OH, DO YOU WANT TO DIE THEN?!"

"I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SET YOU ON FIRE AGAIN!" Katsuki yelled as his hands sparked.

"You! Aihara!" Shouted a voice familiar to Floyd. Floyd turned over and saw that it had been a student from General Studies.

"Oh Look who it is? The student from General studies.."

"That Ink ride of yours its… It's… SO COOL!"

"Huh?!" Floyd said with confusion.

"I can see where you got the inspiration from!" Another student said, "That was actually my favorite game as a kid"

Floyd couldn't help but smile at the comments as he said, "Oh stop it! You're making me blush!" The student with blonde hair and horns that was looking at Floyd came to him with her face all embarrassed.

"Oh You're that girl! Look I'm sorry I gave ya that mean nasty look! I'm sure you're not the same as those other dudes from that class."

The girl with the horns had stammered, "Oh N-no! It's o-okkk-ay! I actually liked your I-Ink ride too!"

Floyd merely rubbed his nose and gave her a wink "Awww shucks! Appreciate it!"

Katsuki merely clicked his tongue as he continued to chat, before he turned his site to Reina. He went over to her, and kneeled as he started to look over her, taking Izuku back. That's when Izuku noticed the look in his eyes when he saw him focused on the blood coming from her nose.

"Kaa-chan…" He thought to himself, "...He's worried about her…?" Izuku couldn't help but smile at this before he told him, "She's gonna be okay Kaa-chan. She just fell asleep."

Katsuki picked up his head, and Izuku couldn't help but shrink again, as he expected him to yell at him, like he usually did. Though what he didn't expect him to say was--

"Thanks."

Izuku's eyes widened in shock as Katsuki turned back to Reina. He couldn't help but brush her hair away from her face; leaning close he hoovered just over her face as he took her hand. "I'm sorry Reina… That I didn't go back for you…" Izuku couldn't help but give a solemn look mixed with confusion as he noticed Katsuki's expression changed; Even Floyd noticed this as he had a curious look of his own.

They saw that his face had been written with guilt, and his eyes had a look of knowing. Izuku looked down at Reina as she continued to sleep, as he thought back to how he found Reina.

Izuku and Floyd both knew Reina. They knew that she wasn't careless; she's the kind of person that analyzes even when she's in a situation. She always had her guard up, even if it was exercise, or just training, though now. She made careless mistakes; something that rarely happened so often with her, which left Izuku and Floyd perplexed.

"Somethings wrong…" Izuku thought, "... Reina-chan… She rarely makes any mistakes even when we're training… This is… This isn't like her to mess up on something simple, especially with her Quirk."

Floyd had a thought too, as he scratched underneath his chin giving a quizzical look, "Reina-chan has been acting strange lately… What happened just now… This is not like her at all."

Soon enough a couple of robots came with a gurney, and took Reina to Recovery Girl with Katsuki walking by her side, leaving Izuku and Floyd a bit skeptical.
