After a quick, but pitched battle, the winner is...

Todoroki narrowed his eyes as the smoke came up over the team. "Kendo!" he shouted. She immediately understood what he wanted. Team Izuku would have an advantage in the smoke with those infared goggles, they had to get rid of it NOW! Itsuka grew her hand to maximum size, and swept it in front of the team, blowing enough of the smoke away to allow visibility. Just in time too, as he saw Izuku was about to punch him. Covering an arm with ice, he quickly blocked, the ice cracking under Izuku's enhanced strength.

"Indiscriminate-" Kaminari started, trying to shock Team Midoriya, but Momo was on him, producing an insulated blanket, and bringing it down on Kaminari, covering him up, and holding it in place as he thrashed. Iida tried to throw a punch at Momo, but had his arms tangled in capture tape Mei had on her.

Izuku and Todoroki traded blows, Todoroki starting to strain against the pressure Izuku was putting on him. Then, on instinct, he started producing flame on his left side. He realized, and quicky smothered it, but in his moment of distraction, Izuku landed a punch directly on his face, leaving him dazed. Before Izuku could capitalize on it, Itsuka placed an enlarged hand between them. "Don't think so!" she shouted.

"Move!" Izuku shouted, grabbing the hand, and when it wouldn't move, grunted, and increased the percentage of One For All in his arm to eight percent, and was at that point able to wrench the hand out of his way, though he winced as he felt his muscles tearing from the strain. Still, with his free hand, the one with the broken finger, he lunged, aiming for one particular headband. Just as Todoroki was starting to recover, Izuku snagged the headband, and pulled it away. "Ochaco, get us up!" he shouted.

Ochaco immediately applied her Quirk to the team, and they used the rocket boots to launch themselves back into the air. "Damn it, what happened!?" Kaminari demanded, getting the blanket off now that Momo wasn't holding it over his head anymore.

"They got a headband!" Iida grunted, getting the tape off his wrists with some help from Itsuka. "But the odds of it being the ten million points is-"

"It is the ten million points," Todoroki cut him off, remembering exactly where he had placed that particular headband, but he was at a loss for how Izuku knew which one it was. His eyes widened as Izuku, in the air, smirked down at them, waving the headband... which now had a few yellow splotches on it. What the hell!? Those weren't there before! It then clicked. Izuku must have applied something Momo provided to the headband, something that only became visible when exposed to a chemical of some kind, immediately before the game started. But when did he... the smoke bomb. It had been different from the ones used previously, had a different colored smoke. It must have been laced with the chemical needed, and exposed which one was the ten million points when the smoke had briefly come into contact with the formerly invisible dye.

"...despite all those defenses, he still planned for the possibility of the ten million points being taken?" Todoroki thought aloud, absolutely astounded at the level of planning Izuku and his team had come up with.

"Damn it, Deku, come back here with that!" Bakugo, having freed himself from the net, shouted, blasting himself through the air at the once again airborne Team Midoriya, determined to take the ten million points.

"Time's up!" Midnight announced, causing Bakugo to change direction to shout at her instead.

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?" he roared.

"Blue balled again!" Momo called after him cheerfully as Team Midoriya came back down. He whipped his head around, snarling at Momo in sheer rage as Midnight had the teams report to a booth to turn in their headbands, their points tallied. First place was Team Midoriya, for having reclaimed the ten million points. Second was Team Bakugo, who still had four headbands, then was Team Todoroki, and finally, Team Tokage. And as luck would have it, those four teams had 16 members between them exactly, which simplified the process for determining who moved on nicely. If there was a surplus to pass enough teams to get sixteen for the third event, then the lowest ranking passing team would have had to decide among themselves who got to move on.
