Chapter 17 – Clash

“Back away please!” The vine-haired girl -Ibara- from Class 1-B requested as she lashed out her vines toward the approaching Ochako.

“Whoa!” Ochako twisted to avoid being ensnared. She used the Hover Soles and a boost from the Jetpack to ascend out of the other girl’s reach. “That’s a mobile defense!” She looked over the Team with Ibara at its center, they were steadily moving around the field using Ibara’s Quirk as both offense and defense. It was a rather ingenious strategy.

So far Ochako had only been able to snatch a single flag, that being the one belonging to Mineta and Shoji’s two-man Team. She’d flow in from behind and snatched the flag off Mineta’s back in the moment that Shoji had unraveled his Dupli-Arms Quirk for Mineta to have free reign to use his own. Being weightless had simply let her blitz forward faster than either of her classmates could react.

“I need to try and get more flags though…” Ochako grimaced at the multiple failures she’d had since the start of the match.

Team Kendo had been an immense surprise for the Zero Gravity user. Kendo’s Quirk had almost smacked her out of the air. The silver-haired girl -Reiko- had launched a mass of pebbles from the arena floor at her like buckshot. The green-haired girl -Setsuna- had detached her torso and floated up after her to engage in aerial combat! Ochako really hadn’t been expecting that! Team Todoroki had Iida patrolling the outside of their ice fortress. The walls were being manned by the brunette girl from General Studies. She could turn the ice into water and then launch it as large spikes at Ochako to ward her off. With how much ice Todoroki had provided, her fellow brunette wasn’t going to run out of ammo any time soon. The worst part was that Kaminari was practically standing over the flag just waiting for anyone to find a way into the fortress. In an enclosed space like that, a single shot of Kaminari’s Quirk would render any invader incapable of continuing the match.

“I can’t even get close to Team Bakugo’s flag…” Ochako looked at the wide net of tape that Sero had constructed with his Quirk. She’d be like a fly stuck to flypaper! There wasn’t enough space between the various strips for her to maneuver. Not to mention that Sero was inside the net just waiting for someone to try and get past it. Mina was skating around the perimeter to reapply the acid trap and ward off ground invaders. Kirishima was engaging other teams to try and snatch flags. Or it seemed that way, but Ochako suspected that the redhead might be playing the distraction. Wasting time for any Team that got too close and wearing down the clock.

“Ochako, return to base,” Momo’s voice was heard in her ear through the small communicator the ravenette had made before the second round had started. “We may need to use our backup plan. Izuku is dealing with both Todoroki and Bakugo right now and the three teams from Class 1-B are still trying to get into our base! Do you have what we need?”

“I do,” Ochako confirmed as she turned and flew towards her Team’s base as fast as the Jetpack could go. “I’ll be their shortly!” Even as Ochako relayed this information she watched as a mass of ice formed near their base followed by a huge explosion. “Just hold on, Izuku!”

-Izuku, Bakugo, Todoroki-

“Hand over the flag, Midoriya.” Todoroki demanded as he slid down the wall of ice he’d thrown at his classmate.

“Damn Deku!” Bakugo snarled as he charged forward through the cloud of smoke caused by his Quirk. He ran headlong into a translucent green barrier.

“Tch,” Todoroki didn’t look amused to see the wide barrier that had blocked both his ice and Bakugo’s explosion. “That won’t save you.”

What Todoroki and Bakugo didn’t expect was to suddenly fall into separate portals of swirling black-purple fog. The two teens fell three meters onto some of the Class 1-B members that were attempting to siege Team Midoriya’s base.

“Ow!”

“Hey watch it!”

“Where did they come from?!”

“Shut up you damn extras!” Bakugo roared as he shoved his way out of the pile they’d made on impact.

“Please move,” Todoroki looked less than pleased at suddenly being on the opposite side of the base away from Izuku. “You’re in the way.”

“What’d you just say?!” Kaibara demanded with a glare at both Class 1-A students.

“Did I fucking stutter?!” Bakugo got in the other boy’s face with a snarl.

“I’ll take you out first, prick!” Kaibara’s arm started rotating at high-speed, much like a drill.

“Kaibara, stop, neither of them has a flag, it’s a waste of time.” Monoma spoke up to stop a pointless fight.

“We’ve already lost enough time, move aside.” Todoroki brushed past the Class 1-B students and jogged towards Team Midoriya’s base.

“You think you can get ahead of me, Icyhot?!” Bakugo yelled as he ran after the heterochromatic teen.

“Those two are so full of themselves.” The Scales Quirk user -Ren- shook his head at the other students.

“We might be able to use them to our advantage,” Monoma looked thoughtful. “If they keep Midoriya busy, we might just be able to bust through their fortification and take the ten million point flag in a rush.”

“I can break through that wall, I just need some time.” Kaibara mentioned as he looked over at the wall they needed to get past.

“If one of us can get through, then two of us can get through twice as fast!” Monoma grinned as he tapped Kaibara’s arm.

“I can provide you with some cover by firing my scales at them, but keeping all four of them at bay might not be possible.” Ren stated as he covered his hands and arms in green scales.

“I’ll create the biggest air barrier that I can,” Kosei nodded to the group. “I can’t let myself getting captured be the last thing I do in this event.”

“Then we have a plan.” Monoma looked between his classmates that still remained. All four of the other boys nodded back in acceptance.

While the teams from Class 1-B were plotting, Todoroki and Bakugo had tried to breach Team Midoriya’s base. They were intercepted by Izuku, and the battle began again. As the three boys prepared to square off the focus of almost everyone in the stadium shifted to them.

No one seemed to notice the brief chromatic cloud that filled the inside of the fortification. Ochako flew right into said cloud and then flew back out only a moment later.

“I won’t let you past me.” Izuku stared down both Bakugo and Todoroki.

“Shut the hell up, Deku!” Bakugo retorted as explosions snapped in his palms. “I don’t need your damn permission!”

“I’ll defeat you and take your flag, Midoriya.” Todoroki exhaled frosted breath as he extended his hand towards Izuku.

Izuku moved first, both of his hands rose and from his palms two balls of compressed air were launched, one at each of his opponents. Bakugo met force with force, as Izuku expected, and blasted the makeshift air cannon with his explosions. Todoroki formed and ice wall between him and the blast and the ice cracked from the force. Neither of the teens had been even mildly concerned by the attack.

“Is that all you got?!” Bakugo blasted forward with his explosions. A swirling purple-black fog appearing in front of him made the ash-blonde shoot himself to the side. “You’re not getting me with that cheap bullshit again, Deku!”

‘Figures.’ Izuku gave a mental huff at how quickly Bakugo was adjusting to the Warp Gate being used against him. ‘At least it stalled him.’

A blast of ice racing toward Izuku gave the Collector user an idea. A portal swirled into existence in front of him. The ice wave disappeared into the portal without touching Izuku.

“Gah!” Bakugo cried out as the portal that appeared behind him spat out Todoroki’s ice attack. The wave of ice covered Bakugo, partially encasing him in ice, and sent the Explosion user hurtling into the dirt below.

‘I can turn their attacks against each of them if I’m fast enough.’ Izuku cheered as he activated Mental Boost to increase all of his mental faculties, including perception and reaction time.

“Icyhot you fuck!” Bakugo swore at Todoroki as he used his free left arm to blast the ice off his body. The red-eyed teen was shivering, from the cold, but he was free. He was luck that he’d still had plenty of his nitroglycerin-like sweat on his free palm.

‘Enhance Function’, ‘Amplification’, ‘Gas Manipulation’, ‘Temperature Fluctuation’, ‘Heat Generation’, ‘Efficiency’, ‘Fire Breath’ Izuku compiled the necessary Quirks together and then blasted out a torrent of flames -much like a Dragon- at Todoroki.

“You…” Todoroki breathed out as he sent a vicious glare Izuku’s way. With a flex of his Quirk, an immense ice wall separated the raging flames from Todoroki. The heat made the ice crack from the sheer thermal shock. It was with wide-eyes that Todoroki quickly reinforced his already titanic ice wall. The sheer heat of the flames that Izuku was exhaling was quickly boring a hole in his ice.

“Whew…” Izuku cut off his fire breath just as Bakugo rushed him. The miniature explosions going off in the teen’s hands were quickly generating more sweat, which led to stronger explosions, which led to even more sweat in a positive feedback loop that would quickly have Bakugo’s Quirk back to full power.

“You think you can look away from me?!” Bakugo roared as he blitzed towards the multi-quirked teen.

“Nope!” Izuku grinned, knowing it would anger Bakugo even more, as he fell through a portal under his own feet and disappeared.

“DEKU!!!” Bakugo blasted the ground where the green-eyed teen had stood not even two seconds ago.

“Midoriya!” Todoroki had made it around his ice wall and blinked at not seeing his classmate, only the cursing Bakugo. “Where did he go?”

He was given an answer by the sound of displaced air behind him. A hand clamped down onto his shoulder and Todoroki felt his cold disappear. He was dragged through the black mist and only briefly saw that he was in Izuku’s grasp on top of his own ice wall before he was shoved into a second portal that appeared as soon as the first one closed. Todoroki saw only darkness for a moment before the light of day hit him again as he crashed into Bakugo from behind.

“Icyhot!” Bakugo was about to swing an explosion-filled palm at Todoroki for crashing into him.

A green, cubic barrier surrounding both of them stopped Bakugo in his tracks. Todoroki looked around at the small box they were trapped inside as well. Izuku had enough time to use the Map Coordinate part of the Warp Gate since he was on top of the ice wall and out of reach by most. The Quirk quickly pinpointed the location that Izuku desired and below the cubic barrier a swirling Warp Gate appeared.

“Don’t you fucking dare!” Bakugo glared death at Izuku.

“Later, you two.” Izuku cancelled the barrier just as he moved the Warp Gate upwards to engulf Bakugo and Todoroki. The black-purple mist swirled into itself and disappeared.

-Team Todoroki’s base-

“What the hell?!” Kaminari cried out as a blackish mist swirled into existence in front of him. He saw two people emerge and reacted.

“Argh!” Bakugo roared out as electricity danced across his body.

“Ngkh!” Todoroki grit his teeth as he was shocked by Kaminari’s Quirk as well.

“Bakugo? Todoroki?!” Kaminari yelped as he looked at the two he’d hit with his Quirk. One being his own Team Leader! “Sorry Todoroki! I didn’t know it was you! You gotta believe me!”

“What the hell happened?!” The brunette from General Studies yelled down from the top of the ice wall.

“I just messed up!” Kaminari called back as he held his head in panic.

-Team Midoriya’s base-

“Almost there!” Kaibara declared as he and Monoma drilled through the wall.

“Hurry up! They’re gonna break through!” Kosei urged his teammates as his air shield was being pelted with everything both Momo and Mei could hit it with.

“She’s moving too fast! I can’t hit her!” Ren informed as he continued to launch waves of his scales at Tsuyu. The frog-like girl was leaping around, edging closer and closer to their position. Ren couldn’t get a hit on her at all.

With a crack the wall gave way. The duo of Monoma and Kaibara had made a way into the base! The two rushed in while Kosei and Ren held their exit open. They were met with what had to be almost a hundred flags, each bearing the ten million and change point value on them. They swiveled their heads around trying to discern which one of the flags was the real one.

“It’s that blonde chick’s Quirk again!” Kaibara muttered as he realized they were looking at one of Camie’s illusions.

“The wall was merely the first layer of defense…” Monoma gritted his teeth.

“Ow!” Kaibara cried out as he took what felt like a punch to the jaw. He stumbled to the side while his hand instinctively reached up to the injury.

“What the?” Monoma blinked, only for the Copy Quirk user to fall to one knee when an invisible blow slammed into his right leg. “Agh!” The hit radiated pain from the point of impact. Whatever had hit him was incredibly solid!

“Where are you?!” Kaibara swung wildly with his Quirk active. The rotation of his arms was upsetting the Camie’s Quirk and making ripples appear in her illusions.

“Here!” Camie called out and Kaibara turned to face the voice with his right arm cocked back. Only, there was no one where the voice had originated from at all. Something hard slammed into the back of his head and the teen stumbled three steps forward before collapsing to his knees.

“Fuck!” Kaibara deactivated his Quirk and cradled his head even as the pain flared through his skull.

“Kaibara!” Monoma hobbled over to assist his classmate only to nearly be folded in half as an invisible kick slammed into his torso. “Grkh!”

“Kosei watch out!” Ren cried out as Tsuyu launched her tongue at the Solid Air user. The long, prehensile appendage suddenly turned and smacked Ren across the face. The boy stumbled backward from the blow, but caught his footing before he could fall. “That was close.” Ren revealed his face to be covered in the same green scales as his arms.

“Ribbit…” Tsuyu quickly deduced the best course of action -a result of her training with Izuku and her friends- and rocketed at Kosei. Her powerful legs carried her the distance before Ren could get between her and Kosei. The brunette was left with only two options, stop reinforcing the barrier above them -letting Momo and Mei’s barrage hit Ren- so that he could focus on making a barrier between him and the rapidly approaching Tsuyu. Or he could keep the barrier above them up and trust Ren to help deal with Tsuyu when she collided with him.

Unfortunately for the air manipulating teen, he thought too slowly.

“Gah!” Kosei hacked as Tsuyu speared into his torso with force and carried him multiple meters away from his previous position.

“Kosei!” Ren called out only to hear the shattering of the Solid Air barrier above him. “Damn!” He cursed as he saw a Capture Net headed for him. He was quickly wrapped up in the strong, red net and hit the ground. He struggled against the net, even covering his body in scales to try and shred it. ‘It’s so strong!’ He realized now why it had taken Kaibara so long to break out of the one that had captured him the first time.

“That’s a very well executed hold.” Aizawa mentioned from the commentator’s booth as he watched Tsuyu restrain Kosei. The other teen couldn’t do much to resist since he’d had the wind knocked out of him.

“Team Midoriya’s defenses are just too strong!” Mic declared as the systematic destruction of the Class 1-B siege unfolded.

“Eeyagh!” Monoma cried out as Momo tasered the blonde teen. With him temporarily incapacitated Mei shot him with one of the last few Capture Nets. The red net pinned the blonde to the ground, immobilizing him for the moment.

“Damn it…” Kaibara groaned as the pain in his head flared and he too was pinned to the ground with a Capture Net. “Where is the flag?”

“Right there.” Camie appeared as she let her Glamor Quirk fade away. The voluptuous teen was decked out with a pair of brass knuckles and metal grieves on his shins. Both Kaibara and Monoma now realized just what they’d been hit with this whole time. The two looked over to the wall and noted a flag stuck to it.

“Wait…but that’s…” Kaibara blinked at what he was seeing.

“That’s not the ten million point flag.” Monoma groaned at seeing the point value on the flag. It was a mere two-hundred-seventy-five points.

“Yeah, sorry fam, we’re fresh out of ten million pointers!” Camie gave a ‘peace’ sign to the injured boys.

“Where?” Monoma questioned the girls that had so utterly destroyed his siege plan.

-With Ochako-

“Huh, looks like our backup plan worked.” Ochako smiled from high up in the air.

If one was able to see her back, they’d noticed the ten million point flag stuck to the small of her back. There was no rule that said you couldn’t change your flag’s position from one teammate to another or from a base to a person. This was still supposed to represent Hero work after all. Team Midoriya had merely extracted the one they were supposed to protect while keeping the enemies busy.

“Now I just have to stay up here until the clock runs out.” Ochako grinned as she looked down on the battles over flags still going on.

-Izuku-

“We should be just about done now.” Izuku noted the time as he moved to regroup with his team. A quick Warp Gate and he was near Tsuyu and Kosei.

“Izukun, a little help?” Tsuyu smiled at him cutely.

“Sure thing,” Izuku nodded as he placed his hand on Kosei and activated Quirk Nullification. “Look up.” He told Kosei.

“Phew…” Kosei exhaled toward Izuku and realized his Quirk wasn’t working. “W-Wh-What happened to my Quirk?!”

“I can explain,” Izuku mentioned and Kosei looked him dead in the eyes. Eyes that flashed with light briefly as Kosei lost feeling in his body. The brunette’s head dropped down to the dirt as Paralyze Glare took effect. “The short answer is I temporarily nullified your Quirk.”

“Should we go check on the others?” Tsuyu asked as she let go of the immobilized Kosei and stood up.

“Yeah, times almost up; I want to make sure everyone is okay.” Izuku offered Tsuyu his hand and with a warm smile she took it. The two walked over toward their base and entered through the newly made hole.

“Izukun!” Camie grinned at him brightly. “We totally won this thing!”

“Izuku, our plans worked perfectly!” Momo was almost bouncing with excitement at how flawlessly their plans had gone.

“So many people got to see my babies in action!” Mei cheered happily with a manic laugh. “I knew teaming up with you would be for the best, Mr. Ten Million!”

“Coming in for a landing!” Ochako called out as she slowly descended to the ground. “We pulled it off!”

“You did great, Ochako!” Izuku praised her and the perma-blushing girl went red in the face with a happy smile.

“Thank you, Izuku.” Ochako covered her cheeks while Camie put her arm around the Zero Gravity girl with a teasing grin.

“Times up!” Midnight’s voice was heard over the speakers. “All teams bring your flags to me to be tallied!”

“I’ll take care of it!” Momo smiled happily as she held out her hands to Ochako. The brunette handed the flag over and the Creation user nearly skipped out of the base to turn it in.

“Are you two alright?” Izuku questioned the trapped Kaibara and Monoma.

“My head hurts a lot…” Kaibara gave him a half-hearted glare.

“My pride is the most injured…” Monoma sighed heavily. “But my stomach and right leg also hurt too.”

“I can help with everything except the injured pride.” Izuku offered with a small grin. Using his Sharpen Quirk, Izuku’s index finger became like a knife. He sawed away at the tough net for a while to free Kaibara before repeating the process on Monoma. “Mei your Capture Nets are really tough, excellent work!”

“Aren’t they though?!” Mei grinned as she was looking over the Jetpack and Hover Soles that Ochako had taken off. “I can give you all the details on them if you want!”

“I probably wouldn’t understand most of it…” Izuku rubbed the back of his head before returning his attention to Monoma and Kaibara. “One second guys.” Izuku placed both of his hands gently on Kaibara’s head. A soft green light emanated from his palms for about a minute before he pulled them away. “How’re you feeling now?”

“My head doesn’t hurt anymore, so that’s already a plus.” Kaibara stood up slowly and noticed his balance was fine. “I’m not getting any feelings of vertigo or nausea, I think I’m good.”

“I’m glad, you could stand to be checked out by Recovery Girl just to be absolutely sure though.” Izuku suggested and got a nod from the Gyrate Quirk user.

Izuku moved on to Monoma next, healing the blonde was much easier as he had no head trauma to worry about. The blonde was on his feet and walking under his own power in less than a minute. After healing both 1-B students, Izuku headed out of the base to undo the paralysis he’d put Kosei under. A quick bout of healing to fix up his bruised torso and the Solid Air user was good to go. It took Izuku a moment to find the headband-wearing teen that he’d paralyzed earlier.

“Dude, that was weird,” The other boy fist-bumped Izuku as he approached. “I could think and move my eyes, but couldn’t feel the rest of my body at all. That was kinda trippy. I’m Awase Yosetsu; you can call me Awase if you want.”

“Oh, thank you,” Izuku smiled at Awase. “I’m Midoriya Izuku and I’m glad to see you’re alright. In the heat of the moment I powered up Paralyze Glare and I wasn’t sure how long the duration would be. Usually it’s only about a minute, but powered up like it was it could’ve been longer.”

“I was up and about after ten minutes, but then Miss Midnight called time so I didn’t have time to do anything.” Awase shrugged at his loss. He was a good sport and Izuku was glad that he wasn’t holding a grudge.

“That’s the end of the second round and our Capture the Flag Battle!” Mic declared as the crowd cheered loudly. Everyone had enjoyed the dynamic and surprising second round of the Sports Festival. “Now we’ll take a look at the top four teams right away! These will be the teams whose members will participate in the third round!” The giant screens around the stadium lit up, displaying the rankings of the various teams. “In the first place, with over ten million points, managing to keep the highest valued flag for the entire time, we have Team Midoriya! Make some noise for the team that got through the entire round even with the biggest target on their back!”

The crowd roared, many of them impressed that the team had not only managed to keep the ten million flag, but also at the ingenuity and strategy they’d displayed. Their plan had worked flawlessly and kept their flag protected the entire time. None of their team members had been injured in the battles either. The team had made great use of all their available skills and resources and it showed.

“In second place, Team Bakugo!” Mic announced as the name appeared on the screen.

“They had a good defense and Kirishima managed to capture a flag while stalling another team. He passed it off to Mina who in turn passed it to Sero for protection.” Aizawa pointed out the second place team’s success. “It was a logical and well-reasoned response to their Team Leader running off on his own.”

“Hey second place isn’t anything to scoff at, right?” Mina beamed at their placement and that her team had advanced to the third round of the Festival.

“Yeah, you're right, no reason to complain.” Sero agreed with a nod as he rolled his right shoulder. “We did everything we could and we prevailed.”

“Maybe... but do you two think that's how he feels?” Kirishima whispered to the other two while pointing at the nearly growling Bakugo.

“Damn it, damn it, damn it…” Bakugo raged under his breath at losing out to Izuku’s team of all people! Small crackles of his Quirk were sparking off his palms in his frustration. He should’ve been the undisputed winner!

“In third place, we have Team Todoroki!” Mic revealed the next team to make it to the third round.

“Another defense-based Team that managed to capture a flag to boost their overall score.” Aizawa mentioned the team’s success. “Iida was keeping the perimeter around the ice walls. When he spotted a chance to strike he didn’t hesitate and was able to grab the mobile team’s flag and keep it from them for the remaining time.”

“You did great, Iida!” Kaminari praised his teammate. “You even bumped us up to third place!”

“Thank you, Kaminari, but I did technically leave the role I was assigned to capture that flag. I must remember to follow through on my assigned duties in the future!” Iida critiqued his own actions while Kaminari and the brunette from General Studies both sweat-dropped at the Engine Quirk user.

“A real stickler for the rules, isn’t he?” The brown-eyed girl mentioned with a raised eyebrow.

“That’s just Iida.” Kaminari shrugged with a grin.

“Midoriya…” Todoroki had a fixed gaze on the Multi-Quirk user of his class.

“In fourth place, we have Team Shiozaki!” Mic revealed the final team to make it to the third round. “Our sole contenders from Class 1-B! Will they pull a major upset in the third round?!”

“They kept mobile while also making the most out of their Quirks.” Aizawa gave actual praise. “By controlling the space around them, they didn’t have to worry about their flag being stolen.”

“Unfortunately we have more than sixteen competitors. The fourth place team must choose two members to advance to the third round with rock-paper-scissors!” Midnight informed after doing a headcount and coming up to eighteen students.

“Alright, you guys ready?” A silver-haired guy questioned his teammates.

“Sure, let’s have a fair game.” The guy next to him shrugged. His teeth were out and skull-like as he lacked lips.

“I pray that the most worthy shall pass.” Ibara clasped her hands together.

“Hm.” The ravenette of their team gave a non-comital hum. She was rather unexpressive, even though she was quite beautiful.

After two quick rounds of rock-paper-scissors, Team Shiozaki put forth the winners as their competitors for the third round.

“There you have it!” Midnight called out to everyone in the stadium. “These are the sixteen students that will advance to the final round!” With a crack of her whip the screens changed to a list of the competitors.

“Now, I am sure everyone could use a break! With that being said we’ll be putting the Sports Festival on a two hour pause for lunch! When we come back it’ll be straight into the third round! See you all in a bit! Hit the restrooms, grab some food, buy some merch, all proceeds go to the school!” Mic informed the public as the crowd began to stand up from their seats to take advantage of the break.

“Don’t pressure them to buy things.” Aizawa was heard over the speakers.

“I’m not pressuring, it’s a suggestion!” Mic chuckled at his co-commentator.

“Whatever…” Aizawa replied dully just before the speakers clicked off.

“Hey, let's go grab some food, Shota.” Mic grinned at the thought of food.

“Go get it yourself, Hizashi. I'm taking a nap.” Aizawa replied as he climbed into his sleeping bag and turned to face the wall.

“What? Come on, how many naps do you need?” Mic questioned his friend while nudging him with his boot.

“More than I get.” Aizawa responded as he buried himself deeper into his yellow sleeping bag.

“Well I don’t want to eat by myself, so you’re coming too!” Hizashi declare as he grabbed the top of the sleeping bag and dragged it along behind him.

“Ugh…” Aizawa groaned in dismay at his pushy, extrovert friend.
