Todoroki Twin Origin PT2

The crowd cheered loudly as the torch had been lit. Izuku Midoriya and Shoto Todoroki each stood on opposite sides of the stage. Their classmates, Class 1A, had cheered the loudest as usual.

"GOOD LUCK DEKU!" Ochaco shouted.

"BREAK A LEG!" Floyd yelled, "BUT NOT LITERALLY BREAK IT!"

"MONEY'S ON YOU BROCOLI HAIR BOIYO!!" Gio shouted.

Reina looked at the two of them as she still had been worried. She saw the way Shoto had left at the mention of Fubuki. She had concerns about Izuku, since he still didn't have control over the One For All. For all she knew he would hurt himself in a way that wouldn't guarantee he would be fixed.

She was scared, scared for both of them. And there was nothing she could do.

"Please… Please let nothing bad happen in this match…"

She had been snapped out of her thoughts when she felt someone flick her head. Katsuki who sat beside her had gotten her attention.

"Stop looking so worried." He told her, "Everything's gonna be fine."

Though Reina still had her doubts she had eventually nodded her head as she looked back to the stage; Her worries still hanging above her head.

"Thanks for waiting everybody!" Present Mic said over the PA, "Here comes what should've been the second match, the first big match of the second round!"

Shoto stepped up onto the stage as he looked to be calm.

"Here's the man who won a huge victory in the first round and literally left the audience frozen--!" Present Mic said, "--From the Hero Course! Shoto Todoroki!"

Izuku stepped up onto the stage as he had a determined look on his face, "On the other hand, this guy barely made it past the first round!" Present Mic said, "What kind of fight will he show us this time!? From the Hero Course! Izuku Midoriya!"

"Tokiyama-kun? Shoichi-kun?" Tenya soon said, "What do you think of this match?"

"That all depends on whether or not Midoriya jumps in too close to Todoroki." Tokiyama replied.

"What I'm really worried about is…" Chouko said, "... What is he going to do about the ice?"

Shoto and Izuku stood ready to fight one another as they both gave each other a look. "Do you remember what I told you Midoriya?" Shoto soon said, "I will rise above you, with just my right side."

"I know." Izuku replied, "But you should know… I don't plan on losing either. I have to live up to the hopes of those who supported me. I will beat you too!"

"At this year's Sports Festival, both have shown the top class performances!" Present Mic said, "Midoriya vs Todoroki! It's like two rivals fighting each other! Now--"

Izuku soon had a thought come over him, "Just from his match, the cavalry battle and the obstacle race… He'll most likely come at me with the ice."

A thought came over Shoto as well, "It'll be dangerous to let him use that power as much as he likes."

"In the instant we start…"

"BEGIN!!"

Thus the battle began.

Shoto made his first move as he activated his Quirk; Ice began to move across the stage and Izuku went to activate his Quirk.

"SMASH!!"

With the flick of his fingers a huge gust of wind emerged from the sheer force breaking the ice. The large shards broke apart carrying with it; Shoto had barely blocked the attack and created an ice wall just behind him. The crowd soon found themselves engulfed in the cold winds; Class 1A included.

"S-S-S-SO COLD!!" Gio shouted.

Floyd shouted as he shivered, "I t-t-think my i-ink f-froze…!"

Reina managed to shield her eyes from the oncoming small shards of ice; Katsuki used his own body to protect her, in case one of the loose shards came flying in their direction.

"He was able to mix the wind with the ice?!" Reina exclaimed in her thoughts, "How strong is the One For All Quirk!?"

On the stage Shoto managed to recover as he caught his breath.

"Just as I suspected…" He thought as he saw Izuku's fingers had been a purplish color, "... He was prepared to injure himself to negate the attack."

Reina's eyes widened when she saw the camera focused on Izuku. "His fingers--!" She exclaimed.

Floyd noticed this too as he said, "Oh man, Izu! I told you NOT to break a leg---NOT TO I SAID!"

It hadn't been long before Shoto activated his Quirk again; the ice had appeared once; Izuku soon activated his Quirk again.

"SMASH!!" He yelled as he flicked again.

Once more the ice broke again, creating another gust of wind. Reina saw on the screen that Izuku's arm had been shaking; Her own body started to shake with worry. "The One for All Quirk--" She thought to herself, "--He still can't control it yet! If he keeps doing this--- He'll--"

She couldn't help but grasp the fabric of her PE to stop herself from shaking, though it proved to be useful as her heart started to race.

"There has to be something I can do!" She thought, "But--What can I do?! If I try to stop the fight he'll lose! But if I don't he'll--!" She took a sharp inhale, "What should I say--What should I do!? What should I do!?"

She soon felt Katsuki put her hand on top of hers which took her by surprise as she looked at him. He didn't take his eyes off the stage, though she felt him give her a reassuring squeeze, as if he had been repeating his words from earlier. She allowed herself to calm down at this gesture.

"What am I thinking?" She thought, "I need to have faith in Izuku-kun… He'll find a way! I know he will!"

Back on the stage Izuku caught his breath again, as the smoke around them started to clear up. "From what I know of Todoroki-kun's fighting, he always attacks in an instant, so I don't have much data on him." Izuku thought, "Data… During this fight… I need to find an opening!"

He looked over in Shoto's direction as he saw him regain himself.

"The ice wall behind him…" He thought, "... It's probably how he plans to keep himself from blowing away." He looked to his hand, "Which means I would have to use my right fingers. It's likely that it could work against a 100% smash where I sacrifice my arm. I've got to look carefully… Just stay calm… And think… I only have six more chances…!"

Shoto made his move once more. Again, a trail of ice came towards Izuku, forcing him to take action as he flicked his fingers again. The gust of wind came again, making the crowd protect themselves.

"IS HE NUTS!?" Gio shouted, "WHY DON'T THEY JUST CHARGE ALREADY!?"

Floyd yelled as he leaned forward in his seat, "COME ON MAN!"

"Izuku-kun…" Reina said as she still couldn't help but worry. Katsuki felt her hand shaking as he gave her a comforting squeeze at this.

"Five more chances…!" Izuku exclaimed in his thoughts.

"Don't worry." Shoto said, "I'll end this quickly."

The ice came towards him again, forcing Izuku to use his Quirk; the ice broke apart once more though there had been a problem. Reina's eyes widened in horror, "Not good! He used up all his fingers on his right hand!"

Floyd noticed this too as he stood up out of shock, "Oh man, oh man, Izuku!"

Shoto created a ledge for him to run on as it had been above his head.

"Damn it…!"

Izuku turned to his left hand; though it had been bandaged up, he activated his Quirk with a flick. Shoto flew from it as it broke, and attacked from above. Luckily Izuku proved to be quick; the moment he did, a tower of ice appeared in his place. However the ice extended over to him, reaching his foot. Izuku did the only thing he could do. Instead of flicking his fingers, he clenched it into a fist, and the One For All was activated.

What scaled like that of a tornado emerged, masking the fact that Izuku had cried out in agony, and it had nearly blown Shoto off of the stage.

When the dust started to clear the whole crowd had been taken back when they saw Izuku's whole arm had been in a reddish color, his fingers being in a much worse condition than before.

"Deku!" Ochaco exclaimed.

"His arm--!" Tenya said.

"Oh man!" Gio said as he turned over to Floyd, "That ain't good right!?"

Floyd said as his own voice trembled, "It's way worse.."

Reina saw that his fingers on his left arm, as her heart started to race. She had been left completely speechless.

"This--" Reina thought to herself as she felt her fear rise, "--This is just torture! I want to help him! I really want to, but--I can't!"

The world around her started to turn gray, as she started to think of the worst case scenario. She didn't know it, but her eyes had already started to change to that familiar color.

"But--If nothing's done--If I don't stop it--At this rate--Izuku-kun will--!"

Reina gasped lightly when she felt Katsuki's fingers intertwine with hers and tightened his grip. With a sigh, she gave his hand a squeeze as an effort to keep herself calm; thankfully her eyes had changed back and the color of the world seemed to have returned.

"Please…" Reina said softly, "... Please just find a way…"

Izuku looked at his opponent, wondering if Shoto had been blown off of the stage. Although--

"That's a lot more powerful than before."

Izuku's eyes widened when he saw that Shoto had managed to rebuild the ice wall just behind him. Shoto moved the ice that had been in front of him.

"Are you trying to tell me to stay away?" Shoto asked him as he stood, "Is that it…?"

Izuku soon realized something in his head.

"No… This is just more than his Quirk…" He thought, "... His judgement, application, skills, mobility… All of his abilities… Are strong!"

Shoto let out a sigh, "What? You're that beat up just from defending and running away?"

Izuku looked up to his opponent; but that's when he saw it. On his right side--

"He's… Trembling…?" Izuku said in his thoughts, "... Is that how it is…? Damn it…"

"Sorry." Shoto soon said, "Thanks Midoriya." He looked up towards a certain someone in the audience, "That guy's face is clouded up thanks to you."

Of course, Izuku knew he had been talking about Endeavor. At this he gritted his teeth.

"Without using my damn old man's Quirk…"

The words repeated in his head like that of a record. He sympathized with Shoto and Fubuki, and what had happened to the two of them, but… It was something he couldn't take anymore the more he had thought about it. Though it hadn't been long before a certain came into his head; a girl with odd eyes that is.

"I could've helped him… I could've said something… I SHOULD'VE said something to him… But I only thought of myself…"

At this, Izuku knew what he had to do. He had to help the person before him… In the only way he knew how.

"With your arms like that, you can't fight anymore can't you?" Shoto asked him, though he didn't expect Izuku to answer him, "Let's finish this."

At this Shoto activated his Quirk again, as the ice came towards Izuku. Some of Class 1-A looked horrified at this.

"BAIL OUT!!" Gio shouted, "BAIL OUT MAN!!"

Floyd yelled after Gio, "DODGE! DODGE! DODGE!"

"Izuku-kun!" Reina said in a worried tone, her grip tightening in Katsuki's hand ever so slightly.

Just as the ice came towards Izuku, about to overwhelm him--

"WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING?"

Unexpectedly a huge gust of wind had been produced, blowing Shoto back this time and everyone had been surprised, especially that of Class 1A. Shoto had almost fallen out of the ring though stopped himself with the help of the ice.

When the dust settled the ice had practically gone, and Izuku looked worse for wear.

"No…!" Reina exclaimed, realizing what he had done.

Floyd realized what he had done as well as his body trembled, "Holy Shit..."

"Bastard…" Shoto said, noticing that his finger had been a purplish color, "... With your broken finger…?" He stood up after he regained himself, "... Why… Are you going so far…?"

"... You're trembling… Todoroki-kun…" Izuku replied, putting Shoto into shock, "... Quirks… Are physical abilities too. There's a limit to how much you body could take right…? Isn't that something you can solve… When you use your left side…?"

Shoto's expression changed once more, as he looked to be angry at this.

"Everyone here…" Izuku said as his body shook, "... Everyone in the festival… Is fighting with everything they've got… To win… To get closer to their dream… To become number one... "

His friends appeared in his mind; each one of them having a reason for being there, each one willing to fight, each one willing to make themselves known; or even going so far… As to help others, even if meant throwing away their fight; Though he chose not to say it out loud.

"You want to win… With just half of your strength!?" Izuku said, "You haven't put a single scratch on me you know!?" He clenched his hand, despite his fingers being broken.

"COME AT ME WITH EVERYTHING YOU GOT!!!" He yelled.

At this Shoto stayed silent; as he had taken a moment to process this.

"Midoriya…." Shoto said, "... What are you planning? Everything I've got? Did my old man buy you or something? Now I'm angry!"

At this Shoto went to charge as he prepared to attack. At this they saw that Shoto's movements had gotten slower, as he went to use his Quirk again. The minute he found himself off the ground, Izuku went for the attack. Using his left hand, he activated his Quirk.

"Imagine the egg in the microwave… Not exploding!! It won't explode! It won't…! It won't…!"

He landed a hit on Shoto's stomach, as it had been enough force to push him back. Though his fingers had been in a worse condition as he cried out. The crowd cheered as well as Class 1A; everyone except Floyd, Reina and Katsuki who had been watching closely.

"Come on man!" Gio said as he nudged Floyd, "He finally got a hit on him!"

Floyd said as his voice shook a little, "I wish I could say I'm proud of him..but...for some reason...I'm even more scared for him.."

Reina's hand trembled in Katsuki's as she had overwhelming thoughts in her head. She watched as the fight continued on; with Izuku just attacking back everytime Shoto made a move, splattering more blood onto the floor. Mixed images went by in her head, as she watched in horror; each one mixing up and piling up like her own thoughts.

"Izuku-kun…" She said softly; tears started to form as her vision became blurry, "Izuku-kun… Please…"

Katsuki softened the way Reina was acting. Sure, he didn't really like Izuku all that much, though he knew how much he meant to her. It was hard for her to watch that for sure. All he could was hold onto her hand, to let her know that he had been there for her. That's right… That's all he could do, for the moment.

"You damn nerd…" He said softly as he looked back to the match, "... When this is all over, you're gonna get it."

The two kept on going at it over and over again, until finally Izuku had been unable to make a fist. This didn't stop him however, as he put his thumb in his mouth, while he activated his Quirk.

"SMASH!!"

With a flick, Shoto nearly flew off the stage again, when he went to attack Izuku at the side. Shoto managed to stop himself with the help of his ice.

"Why?!" Shoto yelled, "Why are you going so far?!"

"Because I want to live up to everyone's expectations!" Izuku told him, as he started to run towards him, "I want to be able to smile and respond to them… To be a cool hero! THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO BE!"

Shoto's eyes widened for the third time that day. As the words repeated in his head, an image seemed to have passed him by.

"Shoto..."

"Sho-chan!"

"That's why--!"

Izuku tackled Shoto as he fell to the ground again from the impact; Izuku fell face flat on the floor though they both managed to pick themselves up. Izuku had staggered towards him as he didn't look to be done.

"--Everyone is giving their all!" Izuku said, "There's no way I can know all of your circumstances or resolve! But for you not to become number one without giving it your all… To completely reject your father… Right now… I THINK YOU SHOULD STOP SCREWING AROUND!"

Shoto stayed silent at this, as more unclear images passed him by in his head, and voices came in echoes.

Finally… They all came flooding in.

***

-Years Ago-

Shoto had been on the ground, coughing out whatever he had eaten on the planks of wood. No doubt, it had been another one of Enji's harsh training, as he couldn't take the kind of endurance. How could he? He had only just gotten his Quirk, and yet here he was, putting him through what anyone would consider military training.

"Stand up!" He heard his father say, "If you're downed by something like this, forget about beating All Might, you won't be able to take the small fry villains--"

"Please stop this!" A woman soon said, as she came to the child's aid, "He's only five!"

"He's ALREADY five! Get out of my way!"

Shoto flinched when he heard the woman cry out, after his father had hit her.

"Mom!"

Today was the worst.

No matter how hard he tried he couldn't get the tears to stop. He couldn't even get to sleep as he had been wide awake. He tried over and over again, but he couldn't stop them. They just kept coming and coming.

He didn't even realize the door to his room had slid open; A soft voice came through.

"Sho--chan?"

A little girl who had been the same age as him stepped into the room, as she almost looked exactly like him. The only two things that had been different, her eyes had been gray and the red and white colors had been on the opposite side of her head.

Of course, it had been his twin--

"Fubuki…" He managed to choke out.

"Your face..." His sister said with worry, "... Father made you cry again, didn't he?"

Shoto stayed silent as he weeped; though she was a child, she had been quick to put it together. Fubuki stepped over to her brother, as she sat by his side on the futon before she gave him a hug.

"There, there, Sho-chan." Fubuki said as she gave him a pat on the head, "There, there. It's alright. I'm here, and mommy is too. Don't be sad."

Shoto couldn't even respond as he buried his face into her shoulder. Fubuki's expression softened at this, until an idea came to her head.

"Sho-chan?" She said before taking his hand, "Come with me for a second!"

"Huh?" Shoto said surprised, "Wa--wait!"

"Just come on, okay?" She said with a smile.

They both exited the room and went down the hall till they reached outside of the house and into the backyard, where the night sky had been clear of any clouds.

"What are we doing out here?" Shoto asked her.

"Fuyu-neechan taught me a new trick!" Fubuki replied, "I wanna show you, Sho-chan!"

"But--What about--?"

"I know father by now, he's fast asleep at this time. He won't notice us out here, he never does!"

"Even so… I don't want you getting hurt too."

Fubuki only gave her brother a reassuring smile, "I'm not scared of father Sho-chan. Besides… I can't stand to see you cry." His eyes brightened a little at this, though he noticed Fubuki hold out her hands, "Watch this Sho-chan."

She started to move her hands around and in the palm of her hands. She had been able to produce a mist made of ice, which he seemed to be hypnotized at.

"Ready, Sho-chan?"

She shot the ice mist into the air as the mist simultaneously separated themselves, as they started to form into snowflakes in an instant, leaving Shoto in awe by this.

"It's so… Pretty!" Shoto said as he smiled.

Fubuki giggled at her brother's expression.

"I'm glad, Sho-chan!"

***

Shoto couldn't remember the last time he played with his other siblings.

In fact, he couldn't find a memory to recall at all.

His father always pulled him away to put him through more and more training. No, he shouldn't call it training at all; he called should call it torture.

He hated it, every second of it.

Worst of all…

His mother was bullied.

He hated it, he didn't want to turn into him. He didn't want it.

He had been in his room again as he tried his best to stop his tears. Fubuki sat by his side as she tried to calm him down, though it had been futile.

"Sho-chan…" Fubuki said softly, "... It's going to be okay."

"No, it's not!" He argued as he weeped, "I hate this! All of this! I can't take it anymore!"

The door soon slid open, "What's going on here?"

Shoto didn't react though Fubuki turned to the door and saw who it had been. "Mommy!" Fubuki said relieved.

"I heard yelling down the hall." She said, "Is everything alright?"

"It's Sho-chan mommy." Fubuki replied, "Father took him to the training room again. He won't stop crying. I tried to show him a new trick, but…"

There mother soon approached Shoto as she took him in her arms. "Shoto…" She said with a gentle voice, "... Why are you crying?"

Shoto stayed silent as he cried into his mothers chest; she gave him a gentle pat on the back. "It's alright Shoto. You know you can tell me."

Finally Shoto gave his reply, as he choked on his sobs, "I--I can't take this anymore… I don't want this anymore…!" He gripped her shirt tightly as his sobs became louder, "I don't want to be like dad… I don't want to become someone who bullies mom!"

"But you want to be a hero… Don't you?" She asked him. Shoto looked up to her, as he saw she gave him a warm smile.

"... It's okay for you to be one." She said, "As long as you have a future you feel strongly about."

Shoto thought about her words, before he felt Fubuki give him a hug. "Mommy's right Sho-chan!" She said, "So… Let's be Heroes together!"

"Fubuki…" Shoto said.

They heard the mother chuckle softly, "You really love your brother, don't you Fubuki?"

"Of course!" Fubuki replied with a smile, "I love Sho-chan, just as much as I love mommy!"

The end of the night in the Todoroki household and Shoto stirred awake with a yawn. Usually when he opened his eyes, he would see Fubuki sleeping right beside him. Despite his father forcing him to be away from his other siblings, he allowed Fubuki to stay in the same room as him. They were twins after all, they couldn't bear to be apart from each other.

However, when he opened his eyes… Fubuki hadn't been there beside him.

"Fubuki?"

He got up from his futon and proceeded towards the hall, as he figured she got up to use the restroom.

"Fubuki?" He called out in a hushed voice not wanting to wake anyone up at that hour, "Fubuki, where are you?"

It hadn't been long before he heard someone yelling from down the hall. He couldn't tell what the conversation had been, since the voices sounded incoherent.

"Fubuki?"

Just as he went towards the sound, he soon heard his mother's voice.

"Mom… I think I'm going crazy…"

Her voice had been coming from the kitchen; he peeked inside and saw his mother on the phone, the stove had been on, as a faint whistling came from the pot.

"I can't take it anymore…" He heard her say, "... Every day… The children seem to become more like him… Shoto's… That child's left hand looks very unsightly to me… I can't raise him anymore… I feel like I shouldn't…"

"M… Mom…?"

His mother flinched at the sound of his voice. He saw the look in her eyes when she had faced him; they didn't have the same caring eyes she had before. Instead she looked completely and utterly terrified when she faced him.

The teapot gave out a piercing whistle as a scream could be heard just down the hall.

At that, Shoto recognized the sound of the scream.

"Fubuki?"

Before he could do anything, his mother grabbed a hold of him, with the teapot off the stove and in her hand.

***

The ambulance came as soon as they were called. The whole way he sat with his sister as she cried from the pain she felt in her throat. He tried to do what she would do whenever he felt said; he tried to comfort her.

Though he didn't know how to make her smile, like she did with him

They eventually arrived at a hospital that had been in the vicinity and the doctors rushed over to the two of them. Each of them had been in a separate room as they looked them over; though when they had been down with Shoto, they went to help with Fubuki who had been on the verge of panicking.

Thus he soon found himself waiting, along with the man who had been at fault.

He waited for something.

Anything.

Just for a sign to let him know… She had been okay.

Soon enough a doctor had approached them.

"Well?" Enji said to the Doctor, "What's her condition?"

The doctor had soon replied nervously by his presence, "... Tha--Thankfully she's not in a life threatening situation, but--"

"But?" Enji said, Shoto seemed to have perked up slightly.

The doctor gulped before he had continued, this time he looked to be in solemn, "We looked over the x-rays, and… Her laryngitis and thorax… Are damaged beyond repair. She won't be able to use her voice… Ever again."

Shoto looked horrified at this, though he didn't even see his father's reaction to this kind of news. Without even thinking he ran to where they had taken Fubuki, despite the doctor and nurses protest; he practically yanked open the door.

"Fubuki!"

There he saw his little sister, asleep in the bed; a bandage had been seen around her neck as she breathed soft yet raspy, her cheeks had been stained due to her tears. He approached the bed, as his hands gripped the sheets.

"Fubuki… I'm… Sorry…. I'm so sorry…"

"Damn…"

Shoto flinched at the sound of his father's voice, as he didn't realize he had followed him.

"This couldn't have happened at such an important time…" He said, "...First that moronic woman, and now this…"

Shoto had nearly forgotten, as the thought came back to him, "... Where's my mom…?"

Enji soon gave his reply, "Oh… She injured you, so I put her in a hospital."

Shoto's body shook at this. Is he really that blind?! What had happened to his mom… To Fubuki… It was all--

"It's your fault…"

Enji noticed the look his son was giving him; despite his tears his eyes had been filled with anger.

"You did this to them! This is all on you!"

***

Shoto had been brought out of his thoughts, as Izuku had tackled him again, causing him to nearly fly across the stage due to the energy he had put into the hit. He found himself rolling on the floor before he stopped himself with the help of his ice.

He stood up from the ground as he couldn't help but recall what had happened.

He looked to Izuku as he still stood with his body looking worse for wear. "Stop… Try to make me use it!" Shoto had told him, "I already told you before! I'm rejecting my old man's power…!"

"YOU IDIOT!!" Izuku soon yelled as he took Shoto back, "THAT POWER WAS NEVER HIS! IT'S BEEN YOURS AND YOURS ALONE!!"

Shoto's eyes widened at his words and something seemed to have snapped in his head.

"Children can inherit Quirks from their parents, but the important thing is not that connection, but recognizing our flesh and blood is recognizing yourself. That's what I mean when I say: 'I am here!' You see?"

"But you want to be a hero, don't you? It's okay for you to be one. You don't have to be a prisoner of your own blood. It's okay for you to become who you want to be."

"Mommy's right Sho-chan! So… Let's be Heroes together!"

"That's right… How could I forget…?"

The whole crowd had been taken back when a large flame seemed to have emitted from the stadium, taking everyone back. Class 1-A especially as they shielded their eyes from the flames.

"NOW IT'S TOO HOT!" Gio exclaimed.

Floyd shouted as he backed up as far as he could from the flames, "Geez! It's like he's trying to kill the dude!"

Reina held onto Katsuki as the flames nearly got out of control; The tears from her eyes seemed to have dried up as she watched the fire in awe.

"No way--!" She said in realization, "--This is--!"

On the stage, Izuku only seemed partly phased by the fires that emitted from his opponent as he looked to where he had stood.

"Even though you want to win…" He heard Shoto say, "... Damn it…"

Izuku saw the ice that once covered his body had started to melt away, as the fire took hold.

"To help your enemy…" Shoto said, "... Which one of us is screwing around now…"

Izuku's eyes brightened slightly when he saw there had been a smile on Shoto's face. "I…" He said, "I want to be a hero too…!"

Reina's eyes brightened as she looked on the screen the stadium had provided, before she looked back to the stage.

"Izuku-kun…" She said softly, "... This whole time… You were just--"

"YES SHOTO!" The whole crowd heard Endeavor shout, "Have you finally accepted yourself!? That's it! Good! It all starts here for you! With my blood you will surpass me and fulfil my desire!"

"Um…" Gio said having heard Endeavor yell, "... Was that supposed to be encouraging?"

Floyd slapped himself in the face, "Ugh, i know i already hate him but he's too much.."

Izuku couldn't help but smile back at Shoto, as he was both relieved and in awe, "Wow…"

"Why are you smiling?" He soon asked, "With those injuries, you won't be able to defend yourself… You're crazy… Don't blame me for what happens next."

Thus Shoto activated his ice again, though this time, his flames stayed a lit; a powerful gust of wind had been forming when Izuku started to activate his Quirk again; the force of it broke the ice on his arm.

However there was a huge problem.

"Oh God--!" Reina said as she stood up finally letting go of Katsuki's hand, "--This is too much! If they both hit each other--!"

Floyd had realized what was about to happen as he stood up from his seat, "If they charge--!"

Just as Ken and Nemuria went to act, Shoto and Izuku unleashed their full power; with Shoto sending more ice in his way, while Izuku leaped with his One for All, breaking his leg in the process. He flew towards him, activating the One for All again as it began to flow in his other arm.

"Just try to get close!!" Izuku thought to himself, "And give him everything I got!!"

Shoto went to use his fire on Izuku, as he had been at full power.

"Midoriya…" Shoto thought in his head, "...Thank you."

Just when they had been about to hit each other, with all that they had--

"STOP IT!!"

The two of them felt something change in the air for only a moment, as something had appeared in front of them suddenly just as their hands had been about to touch, which took the two of them back. "What the--!?" Izuku exclaimed in his head.

"What is this?!" Shoto thought.

The world appeared to have slowed down as Izuku came to a realization as there looked to be a wall in their way; little did he realize, Shoto had the same thought.

"Wait… Could it be…?" Izuku thought.

"... It can't be…" Shoto thought.

Their eyes moved as they couldn't stop themselves from moving as they looked over to Class 1-A, there they saw a surprise.

"REINA?"

BOOM!!

Just as they collided with the unknown force, before Ken could create his stone walls, an explosion was made causing everyone in the crowd to take cover as not to let the wind take hold of them, and creating a large dust cloud nearly covering the entire stadium.

Class 1-A managed to recover as they coughed.

"Holy crap…" Gio said, "... How are we still alive?"

"The hell if I know…" Floyd said as he coughed.

Reina let out a groan as she felt a familiar ring go off in her head. "Ow…" She said as she rubbed it, "What did I just…"

"Reina!" She heard Katsuki exclaim as he helped her up off the ground, "Are you okay!?"

"Ye--Yeah…" She replied as she let out another groan, "... But my head… It really hurts…"

His eyes widened when he saw blood drip from her face. "Damn it you liar, you were hurt!" He said, before getting her to face him, "Let me see--"

Katsuki stopped himself when saw something different, more specifically her eyes. "What… What is it?" Reina asked.

Floyd soon approached as he sounded panicky, "D-d-dude?"

He stopped himself when he looked at Reina's eyes.

"Okay, seriously?" Reina said, as she had been left clueless, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

She soon noticed that all of her classmates had been giving her the very same look Katsuki had been giving her. "You're… All giving me that look…" She said, "Stop it, it's creepy!"

"Reina-chan…" Ochaco soon said, "... Your eyes…"

"My eyes?" Reina said as she gave a quizzical look, "What about them?"

Floyd replied as he took out his phone, putting it on selfie camera mode, "take a look for yourself , dude"

Reina had been shocked when she saw it. Her eyes hadn't been an odd color but rather baby blue eyes; she saw her nose had been bleeding.

"Wha--What?" She said; she flinched when her eyes changed back to her usual color combination.

"Reina-kun…?" Tenya said, "... How did you do that?"

"I--I--" Reina stammered as her body shook, "--I don't--" She stopped herself when a sudden thought hit her, "Izuku-kun! Todoroki-san!"

She looked back to the stage as she wiped some of the blood off of her nose; she had been anxious about what had just transpired just now as she had been worried about the two of them. When the dust cloud cleared, she saw Shoto standing at his side of the stage in a state of confusion as to what had just happened as half of his jacket had been torn off. She didn't even realize he had been looking in her direction as her eyes darted all over the stage.

"Izuku-kun! Where is he?!" She exclaimed.

"Reina-chan!" Chouko said, getting her attention, before pointing in a certain direction, "Over there!"

Reina's eyes followed where Chouko had been pointing and she looked shocked and horrified. Izuku had been backed into a wall, as it had been damaged from the impact of the force. She saw him fell on his side as he appeared to have passed out.

Nemuri, who had recovered from the blast, saw this as she announced, "I-Izuku Midoriya is out of bounds! Shoto Todoroki advances to the third round!"

While the whole crowd cheered, Class 1-A had been in complete and utter shock as to what had just happened. Especially Reina as her eyes remained on Izuku as she looked horrified at the way her friend looked.

"Oh my god… IZUKU!" Floyd shouted as he saw the way his friend had been.

Reina fell on her knees taking everyone by surprise as she had been on the brink of tears again.

"... Izuku-kun…?"
