A whole lotta fighting

“START!”

A massive wave of ice was already on the way to Midoriya.

“SMAAAAAAAAAAAASH...!” A finger flick at a healthy 50% of One For All’s power stopped the wave dead in its tracks, its shockwave breaking through the ice in seconds... only to reveal Iida hidden behind it, aiming a kick at the green-haired boy. “First Gear: Lightning Kick!” He wasn’t joking - without Danger Sense, he would have barely seen that ridiculously fast kick coming. Even with it, could he dodge it in time...?

“Faith’s Shield!” Ibara’s vines popped from the ground, erecting a massive wall of thorny plants between the two right as the kick struck, which gave Izuku enough time to step back. Iida was too far gone into his kick to stop himself, and the vines were not tensed up enough to break under the pressure - the majority simply bent under his leg and returned to their upright position once it had passed through, but as he kept spinning in the air trying to land, many of the thorns stuck to his legs, ripping those vines off. Ibara didn’t seem to be pained by it in the slightest.

The speedster finally landed, wincing as he removed vines from his legs. He was bleeding from them, as his bloodstained hands showed him soon; those thorns were larger than any he’d seen before, and too sharp to be natural. Yet, a strange sight soon unfolded in front of him, as Toga appeared out of nowhere to collect the discarded bloody plants. When Iida tried to give pursuit, he accidentally bumped into a flying Sherry coming from behind him, who started bouncing from wall to wall of the dome like a ridiculously bouncy rubber ball. “HEY- WATCH WHERE YOU’RE GOING BIG GUY!”

“SORRY!” Iida tried to move to the other side, but nearly crashed into Shouko as she rode a wave of ice around his side. “Focus on your surroundings, Iida!” Asui hopped over him, while Momo ran to him and left a machete in his hands. They were telling him to forge his own path ahead, cut those vines down and strike at Izuku with his speed. It seemed he was up against a troublesome foe.

Shouko was coming for Izuku, he knew that much. The girl had been laser-focused on him for a while now, even weeks before the Festival would begin. The icy mist to his right only confirmed her path. “SMAAAAAAAAAAASH!” Another finger flick, and her ice wave stopped, then shattered, sending her flying towards him with her right hand extended at him. It felt as if she wanted to freeze him with a touch, so he prepared another flick with a different finger and looked into her eyes...

Her eye scar lit up in flames.

“Wha...?” Izuku’s stance faltered. What was going on? She just said she wouldn’t use her left side in combat... Danger Sense struck his mind sharply, making him sidestep and turn right - not only did he avoid Shouko crashing into him, instead having her break the fall by sliding through the ground on her ice ramps, but he also dodged a pole strike he soon learned came from Yaoyorozu.

“Ochako-chan! Now!” Momo’s eyes went wide open, turning to meet Uraraka’s already-too-close hands. Her fingertips connected with Momo’s torso, despite Momo slamming the metal pole against her side in retaliation. Her body floated up, up, up, until it connected with the dome high in the air. Surely she was all but out of the fight now.

Izuku turned to aim a finger flick at an approaching wave of ice, but Danger Sense struck in two directions at once - rather than shoot, he applied One For All at 50% in his legs and leapt. The result was... explosive. The ground ruptured and cratered, not as bad as his 100% leaps, but still enough to break off the ice wave even as he didn’t need to dodge it anymore. Up in the air, he noticed that the Danger Sense trigger behind him had been a rapidly approaching Sherry, now blown away by the shockwave.

“Seriously?! What do they feed you, Midoriya?!” Sherry complained, unable to fly all too well with so much wind blowing her tiny form away. She instead opted to return to a more human size, looking up to see him reaching the apex of his jump.

“SMAAAAAAAAAASH!” He aimed the airwave at Shouko, who put a wall of ice in front of her to stop it - it barely did the job, breaking under so much power. She seemed... different from when they started. Rime covered parts of her body, though not enough to be too noticeable. Easier to note were her eyes. She wasn’t staring at him with ice-thawing hatred fueled by the sight of her father. She was looking at him as if she was seeing snow for the first time. Her eye burst into flames again, causing her to cover it up with her hand... and the rime on her skin and clothes disappeared little by little during this time.

“... I get how it works now-!” She got colder the more she used her ice and needed to balance that out with her fire! Danger Sense struck again, having him turn around in mid-air to notice a huge net about to wrap him up like a present. Yet, at the last moment, the net got yanked away by a cable... no, an earphone jack stretching about 20 meters from below. Yaoyorozu had tried to catch him even as she couldn’t come down from the ceiling...! He had to pay attention to her too after all!

“Thank you, Jiro-chan!” Her earphone cable shot towards him and wrapped him up next, pulling him towards her just as Tsuyu’s tongue was about to capture him from a blind spot.

“This is annoying... they’re trying to attack us from all directions.” Jiro complained. Her second earphone jack stuck to the ground, keeping tabs on all combatants. “Uraraka, Sherry behind you! Duck!” Calling shots like this is how the others had dealt with a bunch of the enemy team’s attacks, most of which seemed to be getting tired already. Jiro really was acting as their own mini-Danger Sens-

throb

“SMASH!” A quick finger-flick hit Tsuyu’s tongue right as it approached to capture him from behind, causing it to ripple and bruise painfully before she quickly pulled it back with a hurt expression. Danger Sense had once more saved his ass - the Fourth User would no doubt tease him about her usefulness. “S-Sorry, Tsuyu-chan, I didn’t know it was you!” Huh, that’s an interesting weakness of Danger Sense... he didn’t really know the nature of the attacks he would face, only their direction and when they would come.

“Why are you apologizing? You’re my opponent-kero!” She leapt at him, but turned around in midair to grab something falling from the ceiling. Presumably, it was Momo’s work. It was a round shield that seemed to stretch forwards into a tip like a massive spearhead.

“SMAAAAAAASH!” The wind pressure connected and sent her a bit upwards, but most of the wind slid off the shield by its aerodynamics. “Thank you, Yaoyorozu-chan!” Tsuyu croaked out.

Dang it. He couldn’t rely on wind waves all the time, and his fingers were hurting a little. Maybe even 50% was unsustainable in the mid- to long-term. “Kyoka-chan, fling me at her!” Jiro seemed shocked and embarrassed by his sudden use of her first name, but she complied almost immediately, wrapping him in her elongated earlobe before slinging him at Tsu. He was hoping this would deliver less power than a 50%-power jump.

“I’ll capture you even if I’m hurt, kero!” She shot her tongue at him mid-flight, but his Danger Sense had already predicted this - he flicked a finger to his side, boosting himself in mid-air with the attack’s recoil to dodge her tongue. Then, reminding himself of Kacchan’s way of propelling himself with explosions, he closed his hands in a fist with all fingers locked by his thumbs but straining against them, put his arms behind him, and then suddenly opened them at 50% power, shooting himself at Tsu in the blink of an eye as two massive wind waves pulverized parts of the ground below. She didn’t even have time to retract her tongue to try again.

“TEXAAAAAS SMAAAAAAAAAAASH!” His fist connected against the side of Tsu’s shield, which resisted it at first, only for cracks and ripples to spread through it. In a few seconds, the shield crumbled to pieces, though it had absorbed all the impact. Tsu, while shocked, wasn’t hurt.

“He broke through tungsten alloy?! Tsuyu-chan, retreat quick!” Momo shot a grappling hook from her palm at Tsu, picking her up and reeling her to the ceiling with her. It was a solid move, as Izuku could have finished the job if she hadn’t intervened. He’d have to deal with her later.

Looking down, things were looking kind of tiresome for everyone. Sherry was constantly harassing Jiro’s senses and trying to attack without touching surfaces, so she wouldn’t know her position. Her size was an annoying advantage. Meanwhile, Ibara was barely holding off Shouko on her own, though it seemed she was losing the elemental rock-paper-scissors. Her roots broke through ice waves consistently, but not fast enough to come out of it unharmed, or to actually reach Shouko herself. Uraraka was trying to touch Shouko, to no avail. Speed was on the icy girl’s side by far. Iida was nowhere to be seen, though. Neither was Toga. Were they hiding in the multiple vines spread through the battlefield?

Helping Uraraka and Ibara was the priority, then. Izuku boosted himself in the air towards Shouko in Katsuki’s style, preparing to enter a range closer than either of them wanted to be at with each other. “EXPLOSIVE STYLE - 50% ARIZONA SMASH!” The #2 Hero’s daughter immediately put up a giant ice barrier between the two, but Izuku’s downward-facing punch obliterated all of it, leaving a small crater on the ground on top. The shockwave surrounding his fist had protected it from being pierced by the ice spikes while at it.

“You’re not getting away!” He touched the ground and prepared to leap, as Todoroki used the chance to freeze the surface in order to catch his feet in the wave. Too slow and too late, he made the jump and instantly reached her, grabbing her by the arms and pinning her to the ground, her large chest pressing against his half-naked own. She breathed heavily, recovering from getting the air knocked out of her lungs when hitting the ground so harshly. Her expression was one of wonder as she looked into his eyes. Her entire right side felt hot at first, then burst into flames again, causing him to release her and get back up.

“Izuku-chan!” Iida’s voice called out from behind him. How... did he get past his Danger Sense? No, this had to be...! He ducked as he turned back, Iida’s kick going over his head only to hit Shouko’s face in her attempt to get up. Iida spun around while apologizing, using his momentum for a sweeping kick that Izuku jumped over... and hit Shouko’s stomach.

“Iida, what are you doing?!” She was exasperated, but also doubtful of what her eyes were showing her. Iida should kick much harder than that if he was serious, was the foremost thought in her mind. “Just get out of the way, Shouko-chan!”

Wait... “chan”? Iida doesn’t call anybody like that, he always uses “kun”. Shouko's thoughts betrayed her next course of action.

She lifted her right arm, but Iida kicked it down as he focused on attacking her now. The boy’s face slowly melted as it revealed Toga’s appearance behind it, his voice distorting back into hers.

“Aww, I messed up, didn’t I? It’s easy to recognize when people notice I’m not my disguise~!” Toga’s onslaught was actually impressive, while Shouko didn’t appear to be well-versed in close-quarters combat. As she got ready to send off a massive wave of ice and get it over with, the blonde girl tackled her back to the ground.

“Iida’s muscles are nice when I wanna pin you down like this, but these delicious titties... I bet Izuku-kun will loooooove to fondle them~!” She smirked, keeping her arms pinned while using her sharp teeth to unzip her costume down the middle. Little by little, Shouko’s cleavage came into view, leaving her in shock and staring in disbelief at Toga, then at Midoriya, then back at Toga. Her ice spread through Toga’s arm and covered half of her copied body, but she simply smiled like it was a mere inconvenience. “This speedy boy's costume... keeps you nice and fresh whether it’s hot or cold, huh~?” Despite the bluff, her face was unprotected by Iida's helmet, as she needed to use her teeth, so her head was suffering from her ice all the same.

Shouko’s zipper went far down enough as to reach her belly button. However, Toga stopped just before that point, directing her attention back to her breasts - and stretching out her half-frozen tongue to lick at the underside of her left tit, right where it pressed against her torso. “This is the hot titty, isn’t it? My, my, it’s as sweaty as I thought it’d be~ I like you a lot too, Shouko-chan~ Wanna be friends? Can I lick your titties all over once we’re friends~? Your sweat’s so tasty~ I just wanna grab a straw and slurp it all up~” Her expression had gone beyond the point of bliss after just a few licks, and was nearly a full-blown ahegao.

Danger Sense struck again, but it was too late to stop its source - Toga was kicked off of Shouko hard enough to fracture all the ice covering her, shattering it as she flew away. A wounded, bleeding Iida offered her a hand to get back up, and wordlessly zipped her costume back up while mildly blushing.

“I’m ashamed it took me this long to deal with Ibara’s trap... that cunning woman damn nearly trapped me in an endless maze of vines!” Shiozaki nearly went off on how she’s not cunning and shuns scheming, but saw an opportunity to grasp a tired Sherry with her vines and took it, her tiny size a great disadvantage against the constricting, thorny plants. Grappled by a large ball of thorns, she was done for.

Iida began fighting Shiozaki in full, with Jiro aiding her to avoid surprise attacks because of his bursts of speed. Toga had been snatched towards the ceiling by Tsuyu’s tongue, the frog girl’s body hanging from Momo’s grappling hook still. Uraraka and Izuku were up against Shouko.

The ice slide began once more as Shouko tried to cover ground, but her eyes burnt with hatred as she focused on Uraraka - her thoughts were in distress at the sexual **** she just suffered. “HEAVEN-PIERCING ICE WALL!” The second she was within close range of both of them, she harshly waved forwards with her right hand, causing a gigantic spike of ice to shoot upwards into the dome, crashing against it and freezing Uraraka and Izuku on the spot. They couldn’t even register what happened, while the audience was left in awe. Another hole had been made in the supposedly over-protective dome.

“Midoriya-san!” Ibara’s hair shot into the ground, turning into powerful roots as they traveled along. The great ice wall broke off into massive chunks under the root drills' expansion, but she didn’t stop at that; her hair used the roots on the ground as a support as it turned back into thorny vines, the side of her hair that pressed against her body turning into water lily leaves instead. This created a pathway for her to be carried by her own hair, sitting on cushioning leaves as the vines below traveled at full speed and rose to cover her from the sides and above. By the time she reached Izuku and Uraraka, taking both of their hands to sit them with her on the leaves, it looked like she was riding a massive plant tunnel from the perspective of the other combatants.

“T-Thank you, Shiozaki-s… an…?” Oh. She grabbed his hand. That’s why the turbulent ride suddenly started feeling much more comfortable - time was slowing down. Shiozaki herself didn’t seem terribly different, simply looking into his eyes with her lips slightly parted. But something else was weird. Lotus flowers grew over the unoccupied water lily leaves, while the thorny vines rising to encompass their surroundings blossomed with roses and dahlias. Even the crown of thorns-like vine-hair on her head was blooming with cute, amorous flowers.

Time came back to normal. Ibara slowly inched towards Izuku, much to Uraraka’s distress. Yet, she merely planted a soft kiss on the boy’s forehead, then slid away slightly. “May I speak to you two in private after the Festival? I think… I would love to get to know Class 1-A better, if you don’t mind. Yaoyorozu could also come, as the Vice Rep.” She was obviously trying her best to act as usual, but her hair was betraying her heart to the point of transparency. Even when she wanted to, she couldn't lie, huh?

Izuku nodded, but their time wasn’t endless - a huge spike of ice made the plant-haired girl swerve harshly in distress, dropping all three of them off to the ground as she stopped expanding her hair vines. Ibara tried to get up quickly in order to assist the other two, but Iida struck a sharp kick to the back of her head, knocking her out. Shouko’s entire body was covered in rime, the attack earlier paired with this other huge spike likely having taken her temperature to its minimum.

“SHIOZAKI!” Izuku shot towards Iida to stop him from taking Jiro out as well, and Iida’s engines began firing off a blue flame as he realized he would have to fight the One For All user, revealing yet another new move he'd never even talked about. He was advancing so quickly...! “RECIPRO... BURST!”

To the audience, their battle was nearly invisible. They were simply too fast to keep up with, but while Iida “only” had speed on his side, Izuku’s blows tore up armor piece after armor piece and shook the entire terrain with shockwaves and air blasts - in five seconds that, for the two of them, felt like minutes, Iida had been punched to unconsciousness. Deku’s bruises were worsening slightly, especially on his limbs where he took the brunt of Iida's kicks. He needed to get this over with soon.

From Tsuyu’s perspective, he might as well have flash-stepped up to her, eye whites shining out of pure energy output. “Momo-san!” Her tongue was busy holding Toga hostage, so she had no ranged attack to reach him with. Momo pulled out a police-grade pepper spray can from her palm and shot at Izuku’s face... or rather, his afterimage. She heard the wind whistle behind her. One blow to the nape later, she stopped fighting. Tsuyu winced, as Toga had grabbed her tongue and grown sharp ice crystals from her palm. “Whoops~ Did I mention I swallowed that bit of ice, too~?”

The frog-girl had to let her go. Izuku caught Toga on her way to the ground and helped her stand on her own safely; not that she could walk very well, between being covered in ice burns and having a really bruised stomach thanks to Iida. “We only need to take care of Shouko now, everyone!”

The #2 Hero’s daughter was cornered by three classmates, one of which alone had overpowered her earlier. She fought them off with what little stamina she had left in her, but ultimately was pinned to the ground a third time and the match was declared won by Izuku’s team, all of the enemy team incapacitated by then.

Even above the crowd’s frantic cheering, even louder than Mic’s voice, Izuku and Todoroki both could hear the voice of rage and disappointment itself.

“SHOUKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
