Chapter Thirty-three: Semi-Finals

"Alright folks,it's time for our semi-final battles. These battles will operate differently. Since we have more contestants we will have rapid fire battles,after each battle,the next one will immediately take place,even if you have already fought,unless you are unable to fight. The winners of each battle will face each other after. And depending on your performance you will be ranked first,second,or third," Mic said. "We can go ahead and get ready for the first battle. The two contestants are Max and Todoroki. The battle will begin shortly," Mic said as everyone is hyped up. "Alright. Let's get started," Max said as he started to walk out. Max and Todoroki stood on the stage. "This must be a good fight if I get to fight the child of Endevor" Max said as he turned robotic. Todoroki said nothing as ice appeared and tried to strike Max but he dodged. "Ice? Must be your mothers side of the genes. Come on, use your fire!" Max said as black ice appeared and negated Todoroki's ice. "How did you copy my ice?" Todoroki said as he pushed back Max's ice. "I have an ability called shadow mimic. It doesn't copy all aspects of what I want and not at full power. You will see that my ice does not have the thermal power of yours. My ice is room temperature while yours is very cold. But my ice doesn't melt" Max said as he summoned black chains to attack Todoroki, but he froze the chains. Max made black fire out of his robotic hands and threw it at Todoroki as he made an ice wall. When the fire made contact to the ice it exploded but there was no heat. "Why can't I beat you!" Todoroki yelled. He seemed in rage as nothing he could do could harm Max. "He is trying though," Max thought to himself. "You wanna play rough? Ok. Say hello to my little friend," Todoroki said as he slammed his hand into the ground and made a massive wave of ice. "I told you that ice alone won't cut it" Max said boredly as he uses his shadow ice to stalemate Todoroki's ice. "Heatwave!" Todoroki yells as his left side ignites in a bright flame. Todoroki then shoots out a massive wave of fire that engulfs the two ice glaciers. "How's that!" Todoroki angrily yelled but what he saw shocked him. "WOAH! Max's shadow ice is still standing,how will Todoroki find an opening if he can't even handle Max's ice!?" Mic yelled as Todoroki cooled himself down with his ice. "Since this is a bit unfair how about I fight you without using shadow mimicry" Max said as all of his ice disappeared. "Really? He's taking pity on him?" Tokiwa thought as he watched the match "fight me seriously,if this is a fight then treat it like one!" Todoroki said as Max laughed condescendingly "ha,if i were to take this seriously your head would be rolling at my feet. In this fight alone I could have killed you at least 50 times,but if you're so hellbent on taking this seriously,I guess I could give you a taste of what I can do" Max said as he shrugged his shoulders. Max made the entire area covered in a shadow and he started to change. Black lightning spread everywhere with the center at Max. A black fog covered the arena. A few seconds later a black metal dragon was on the stage. This one was about the fourth of the size of the dragon Kax had shown previously. "You want me to fight seriously! This is what you get, try not to die" Max said in a deep demonic voice as black lightning and black fire was all over his dragon form. "Tch,if i'm not careful i might actually die!" Todoroki thought as he made a giant wall of ice to protect himself "useless!" Max yelled as he used the tail of his form to smash the wall to pieces. "Crap,Heatwave!" Todoroki yelled as he shot a blast of flames at the massive dragon "cute,my turn" Max said as the flame was ineffective. Max opened his mouth and shot out a massive blast of shadow flame that pushed back Todoroki's flames and pushed him off the stage. "MAX WINS!" Mic yelled as Max went back to his regular state. "Phew,i shouldn't have used that much energy for him,but i wanted to make a point" Max thought as he walked to the stands "Max goes onto the finals!" Mic yells as he announces the second match "Tokiwa V.s Bakugou," Mic said as the next battle started.
