Chapter 18: The Tournament Round Begins

{Play Eminem Lose Yourself}

If you had one shot, one opportunity to achieve everything that you ever wanted. Would you capture it? You would, would you not. Well that is what's in store for these sixteen students that had made it to the final event of the Sports Festival. The tournament round is set and the contenders are ready to do battle with each other. They all have fought their way to two events and finally made their way here, and now...now this is the last stop before greatness.

Danny was shadow boxing on the wall in the bowels of the building, his punches flying at speeds that would make even boxing champion proud. He finished with upper-cut and turned to leave, his destination for the stands for the tournament was about to begin. But before he could leave, his path was blocked by another familiar person and that was no other than Shoto.

Shinso in the bathroom, the general studies student looking at himself in the mirror as he took a deep breath in. When he released it he began to head to the door, his dream was right there. He was so close and he could feel it, all he had to do now is win.

Itsuka Kendo was in the women's bathroom, practicing her martial arts technique. She threw a high kick and finished with an axe kick down. When her routine was done she nodded her head and walked out the door, her destination the stands. Eijiro was in the halls leading toward the stadium stands, the teen had a large smile on his face as he cracked his knuckles.

Ochako was in the women's locker room as she paced back and forth, taking deep breaths and trying to calm her heart rate. When she was ready she took off her jacket and walked out of the room. Mina was leaning on the wall near the entrance, she was rubbing her hands with a smile on her face as acid appeared on them.

Tenya was stretching his legs as he got ready for his match, the teen eyes were focused as he continued to do the stretches. Mei was in the lab working on her gadgets, goggles covering her eyes as sparks. She quickly tried to finish an invention before the tournament started. When it was done she put the gun in her bag and put own black gloves, soon walking out of the mini support room.

Ojiro was meditating on the floor, the karate expert keeping a calm mind as the clock ticked down, there wasn't much time before the first two fighters entered the ring. Neito walked confidently to the stands with a smile on his face, the teen predicted his victory not just in this fight, but for the rest of the tournament. He will show the world and Class 1-A the power of Class 1-B.

Katsuki growled as an explosion came from his hands, the teen had his powers back and he was glad for that. Now he could use them on the man that took them away from him in the last event. Katsuki had his eyes set on one man during this tournament and it was Izuku, so he hoped that the deku wins, only so he could face him.

Fumikage walked through the dark hallways as he saw the light at the end of the tunnel. He had a tough task ahead of him, no doubt the toughest he will face, but he will not be alone. The bird teen raised his hands and Dark Shadow appeared, the shadow being raised his hand and gave his master a high-five. If they go down, they go down fighting together.

Momo was already at the stands, she was reading her formula book and coming up with plans to defeat Izuku. The creation teen had to be quick with her moves or she would not last long in this fight against the quirkless archer.

Melissa was in another bathroom looking herself in the mirror, this was it for her. She looked at the secret weapon that was around her neck and touched it. The collar was on and working perfectly, now she just had to test it and what better way to do that than on her opponent. Melissa took a deep breath in and released it sigh. She could do this...she will do this. She will shock the world and win not only against Shoto, but the tournament as well.

Izuku, the lone archer, mister cool, the secret agent, the underdog, the avenger. He was in the locker room, his head was down, his shades were off, and his arms were leaning on his knees. The teen was pressing himself for what is going to be a fight. Momo he could handle, he knew that, but after her it was anyone's game. This tournament packed a lot of heavy hitters and they were not going to go down easily.

"So, what?" Izuku looked up and saw his teacher, the late Clint Barton, the Avenger Hawkeye. Barton looked down at his student and smiled at him.

"If they don't go down first time then hit them harder and harder. Think faster, anticipate their moves, and shoot quicker. Did you forget what taught you, kid?" Izuku smiled, he knew that Barton wasn't really here and that it was just some ghost talking to him.

"Nah, I didn't forget." Izuku got up and opened his locker where a black quiver laid, he was going to need the big guns for this round and none was better than his SHIELD arrows. Izuku grabbed the quiver and the bow, strapping to his back. He then walked to the door, he put on his shades at that his teacher gave him and looked back at the ghost of his mentor.

"Go kick their ass, Izuku." Izuku smiled and showed his teeth as he opened the door and walked out of the locker room. The ghost of his fallen mentor had a proud smile as his student was about to steal the show.

Izuku walked through the tunnel till he saw the light at the end, when he did he took a deep breath and then smiled. "It's showtime." Izuku proclaimed as he stepped into the light to see and hear the roar of the crowd as the ring was empty. Izuku made his way to the stands where all the other fighters waited till their battles began.

{Stop playing the Song}

Izuku walked up the steps and just went to the wall to lean on it. All the other combatants were minding their own business, their eyes on the stage as the first fight was minutes away from beginning. There were no friendships here, no alliances. No, this was just one thing and one thing only. A tournament to determine who is the best in UA. A title that all the competitors wanted to have added to their name.

"Izuku," The teen heard his name called and looked to the stairs to see that it was Danny coming up. The blonde powerhouse came up the stairs seeing his best friend hands in his pocket and his foot up on the wall.

"What's bothering you?" Danny was surprised to see that Izuku saw what was bothering him.

"How did you know?"

"It's in the job description to know how to read people." Danny nodded his head to that and joined Izuku on the wall. The archer was right, there was something bothering him and it was two things to be exact.

One was the fact that his quirkless cousin was going up against Shoto Todoroki, and the second problem was what Shoto told him about his childhood. If Danny could somehow sum it up in one word, it would be rough.

"Remember on the second day of school, before we left for battle training you told me that heroes are not always your idols." Izuku nodded his head remembering telling Danny that.

"You were right. I don't think I've ever heard a more true statement than that. I just had a talk with Shoto and...and he told me about his childhood."

"So you know now, huh?" Danny looked at Izuku at surprise, he didn't know that he would know about Shoto. Izuku turned his head to him and looked at his American friend through his shades.

"You knew?" Izuku nodded his head to Danny's tone and he didn't fail to hear the surprise as well.

"Keep your voice down and yes, I knew. I did my own research on the kid when I got more access in SHIELD, plus Endeavor has always been known for being a little rough on the people he faces. As great as a hero he is, he is not a great father." Danny looked back at the stadium as he watched the pyro activated for Melissa had come stage.

"What am I going to do, Izuku? He crippling himself on purpose to prove that he can be number one hero solely on his ice. Shoto basically trying to stick it to Endeavor without really knowing the true consequences of his actions." Izuku didn't really listen to Danny complain about Shoto, his eyes were on Melissa and how hot she looked in the black tank top. He also enjoyed the fact that it showed her chest very well.

"Danny, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't a fuck. Shoto's daddy issues are his problem, not mine. If he wants to cripple himself to stick it to his old man then let him, he won't get far in the real world fighting like that."

"But-"

"But nothing, D. If you want to give icy-hot over there a heroic speech about quirks and BS, then go ahead cause I'm not wasting my breath. But correct me if I'm wrong, we fought a monster that was created to kill All Might with everything we had and lost. You sustained back injuries and I lost an arm. Imagine if he was a hero in the field fighting against the Nomu and there were people around him."

Danny didn't want to imagine, hell he didn't have to because he knew what would happen to Shoto and those people. They would be dead, simple as that. Villains don't care about your sob stories and will use your weakness against you.

"And if you're thinking that you still need to do the whole heroic speech thing, I'm going to give it to you like this. Shoto could easily be the strongest student in our class using both his elements. Since he is only using one, he is…let's see fourth on that list. Behind you, Katsuki, and I. Come on, man." Izuku had a point and Danny could see it.

Shoto should easily be number one on that list, he can't control his powers, Katsuki is a loose cannon, and Izuku, as skilled as he is, is quirkless. Even he knows that there are individuals stronger than him. Shoto is the most complete hero in that class, but instead of being complete he settled for just being 50%.

"I guess you're right." Izuku snorted, he was right and he reminded Danny that he was.

"I am right. Besides you should worry about your own match. Shoto won't be on our radar when we get to my match." Danny looked at Izuku curiously now. Did he know something that teen didn't about his cousin. Danny hoped that Melissa would win, and knew that she had something trick in her bag, but at the same time she would be going up against Shoto.

"You think Melissa can pull this off?" Izuku showed his toothy smile and lowered his shades to his nose, and for the first time Danny saw Izuku's forest green eyes.

"I know she can pull this off. Don't underestimate you cousin, D. She got something planned for Mr. Freeze over there. Just sit back and watch, for she is about to show that you should never underestimate the quirkless." Danny did indeed watch as the time for talking ceased and the time for watching now began. And for Shoto and Melissa it was a time for action, it was the time to start fighting.

{Play Throne by Bring Me The Horizon}

Midnight cracked her whip to bring the eyes of the crowd to her as she made the announcement for the first match of the first round of the tournament.

"Everyone, the first match of the tournament will kick off with Hero Class 1-A Shoto Todoroki versus Support Class 1-F Melissa Shield." The crowd roared with anticipation as the fight was about to begin. Everyone began to make bets and predictions, all of it went to Shoto picking up an easy victory.

Melissa heard the comments and just ignored them, all she did was look at Midnight and gave a nod of her head to confirm that she was ready to fight. Midnight looked to Shoto next and he to nodded his head, and with both fighters ready Midnight cracked her whip on the ground to begin the battle.

"Begin!"

Shoto wasted no time with Melissa and activated his ice quirk to freeze her in her spot, but that was not all. To everyone one watching Shoto went too far as he didn't just freeze the girl, but he made a glacier of ice so high that it could be seen from outside the stadium.

"Whoa!" Someone from outside the stadium screamed as they saw ice block their sunlight.

Danny looked worried as did Mei since they saw Melissa stuck in the ice, only her head and neck sticking out. Izuku didn't show any reaction, but he did narrow his eyes behind his shades as she saw her trapped.

"Come on, Lis. Get up." Izuku whispered out to her, hoping that she could hear him.

"Do you yield?" Shoto asked the quirkless girl and Melissa tried to speak, but it seemed like she couldn't because of the ice. So, Shoto moved closer to her to melt some of the ice to allow her to end this match, but what he didn't was that was her plan. Melissa needed her target to get in close so she could hit him with her new device. She just hopes that it works to her perfection.

When Shoto got close to the ice he put his left hand on it and everyone soon saw that the ice begin to melt. "Do you yield?" Shoto asked again and this time Melissa smiled as she brought her head up to let Shoto see her smirk. When Shoto saw the smirk he widened his eyes, for he saw the technological collar on her neck. Melissa had him surprise and she knew it. So opened her mouth and let out one loud cry.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone covered their ears as the sonic scream rang all around the stadium, glasses were being shattered, the ice broke freeing Melissa, Izuku's and Mic's shades cracked, and Shoto was blasted to the near edge of the arena. Melissa stopped her screaming when she saw that Shoto was near the edge, everything was going according to plan and now she just had to finish it off.

"Kick his ass, Lissa!" Izuku screamed as he removed his hands from his ears.

"Get him, Melissa!" Mei cheered for her best friend.

"What?!" Danny screamed since his hearing along with everyone else may have been permanently damaged thanks to Melissa sonic cry. Mei knew what her device was and helped her build it, but even she didn't know that it would be that powerful. There goes her plan if she has to face her, now she has to come up with another idea for taking down Melissa.

Melissa kept on running to Shoto, she was going to kick him out and she just hoped that she would pull this move off. She only did it once and that was against Izuku, but hopefully the second time's the charm.

Shoto was delirious, he couldn't see straight, he was seeing double of everything and everyone. That scream made him near death so he couldn't hear the screams of the people or his own thoughts, and worst of all his head was ringing like a bell.

The teen got up albeit wobbly, it was probably best if he stayed down for he lost the fight. Shoto looked up and saw two Melissa's running at him, the look of intensity was on both of their faces. Shoto wasn't going to give up, he was going to show his father that he could succeed with just his mother's quirk, and he will do it.

Shoto lifted his left hand, but he thought it was his right. What Shoto didn't realize was that Melissa sonic device disrupts brainwave functions to the body thanks to the ear piercing sound. So what Shoto thought was his right hand for his ice was actually his left hand.

When Shoto realized that he was going to use his fire side, he widened his eyes again and paused. That pause is all that Melissa needed as she was close enough to jump into the air and when she did Inko, Owen, Nezu, Cisco, and Coulson widen their eyes in shock.

Izuku felt like he was fighting Taskmaster and Melissa again when he saw Shoto get hit with the same double dropkick that took him down...twice he may add. When Melissa's feet hit Shoto's chest, she sent the teen backwards outside of the ring and backflipped to land on her feet. When Melissa landed on her feet the stadium went deathly quiet. No one stayed a word, it was so quiet that a cricket could be heard on the television.

Shoto was out of the ring by knockout making Melissa the winner. Melissa won. The silence would be broken by none other than Midnight as she called the match.

"Winner by ring-out, Melissa Shield!" Even with the announcement given everyone was still quiet. Why? Well it's because a quirkless girl beat the son of Endeavor, and they might as well say with ease.

"We have a winner! This victory is by far the biggest upset in UA tournament history!" Mic commented as the stadium began to get life back. Cheers could be heard for Melissa by Izuku and Mei, but it was not only them, but also some others in the stands. Attendees that were also quirkless cheered for the girl on her upset victory.

"Yeah!" Izuku cheered for his girl and Mei did the same. Melissa slowly got from her kneeling position and she couldn't believe it. One, her device worked. Two, she landed that move perfectly. And three, she won! She was moving on to the quarter final.

"Yes!" Melissa cheered as she curled her fist in victory, she was moving on, but she had to quickly calm herself for this tournament was not over. It was only going to get harder from here.

"Melisa won," Danny said with shock and happiness. He was happy that his cousin won, but he was still shocked that Shoto lost. But when he thought about it, Shoto lost because of his pride. He underestimated Melissa and not only that he basically gave her an advantage.

This loss was all on him and he had to accept that. That thought made Danny really see that Izuku was right, if Shoto was an actual hero he would be dead. Danny just hopes that Shoto could see that crippling yourself for your pride is no way to become a hero and it get him far in the real world.

"It looks like papa flame is pissed." Izuku spoke as Danny saw him looking at Endeavor, who was not happy. The man turned his back on the crowd and left the stands to see his son. They didn't know what he would say or what Shoto would say. If they were Endeavor, they wouldn't say anything. They would just let Shoto figure it out for himself. He wants to be better than the man after all.

"Well, with the first match over with let us get a move on to the second battle. Mei Hatsume and Tenya Iida are up next." Mic told the stadium as they started to get their mojo back, meaning they were also recovering from their shock as Shoto was being taken away by medical bots.

"Good luck, Mei-Mei." Izuku gave his friend support, he didn't know how this could go. Mei could pull this one with her inventions, she is a mad woman when it comes to her inventions. But Tenya is not to be messed with. He is fast, he would have to be especially when he has an engine for a calf.

"Hey, Zu."

"Yeah," Izuku looked to Danny as he took off his broken shades and replaced them with a spare pair that he kept in his pockets. He always carries at least two pairs of shades with him, just in case.

"Did you teach Melissa that move when you guys trained together?" Izuku didn't even know how he should answer that question. He didn't know where to begin, so he chose the best answer to protect his best friend.

"Yeah, I taught her. It took a while, but I'm glad she was finally able to get it down." Izuku lied perfectly and Danny was none the wiser, he did take a long look at the teen, but thanks to his shades he couldn't get a beat on him. Lucky for him Danny decided to leave at that, but the other Agents of SHIELD had different things running through their mind.

They all knew that move, it's called the Widow Drop. A move created and developed by none other than the Black Widow. So this begs the question. How does Melissa know about the Widow Drop and who really taught it to her?

"I didn't know she could do the Widow Drop. No wonder Izuku had me look into her." Cisco said surprisingly and Coulson closed his new comic book to look at the Spanish teen.

"Agent Midoriya had you look into the girl? What did you find?"

"Nothing, she has a spotless record. There was nothing that I could find that says she would know that move or have connections to the Black Widow. It was clean." Coulson looked concerned and Cisco could see it.

"Sir, is there something wrong?"

"If her record is as clean as you say then that means she or someone close to her is hiding something. The cleaner someone seems the more they are trying to hide. Expand your search to family as well. When the director gets back I need to have a word with her and Izuku." Coulson told Cisco and he nodded his head as the next match was about to begin between Mei and Tenya.

"By the way where is the boss?"

"She is speaking with a doctor." Coulson left the cryptic message and went back to reading his comic that he received from Cisco and watching the festival at the same time.

{Play Light It Up by Rev Theory}

Mei and Tenya had stepped through the tunnels and now were on opposite sides of each other. Tenya had his game face on and Mei had a smile on her's, a smile that said she got something planned. Melissa and Izuku could see it, and whatever Mei's had in mind they just hoped it wouldn't end in the stadium blowing up in a massive fireball. Midnight cracked her whip to silence the crowd so that she could give the announcement of the second match of the first round.

"The second match will now begin. Hero Class 1-A Tenya Iida vs Support Class 1-F Mei Hastume. Are both fighters ready?" Midnight looked to Tenya first and nodded his head, she then looked to Mei who did the same.

"Then...BEGIN!" Midnight cracked her whip to officially start the match and Tenya came out the gate first with his speed. The taller teen dashing at the cherry blossomed harried girl.

Mei knew that Tenya had the advantage in strength and speed, but she could stop both of those with her gear. She was saving these for Izuku, both ever since USJ she decided to keep them for herself and work out the kinks…and she did. Mei tossed what seemed to be grenades on the path the Tenya was heading. The teen narrowed his eyes and jumped over them.

When Mei saw him leap into the air she grabbed her grapple gun and aimed at Tenya. Using her zoom quirk for aiming she fired the grapple at Tenya, but the teen moved, making Mei miss. Izuku narrowed his eyes behind his shades as he scanned the stadium floor, the grenades were not what he originally thought.

At first he thought the Mei may have seriously lost her mind and decided to blow the arena to kingdom come, but with his shades he scanned objects and found out that they contain some kind of substance that sticks, almost like glue. When he looked at that and then the grapple, he saw that it was stuck in the wall, but that was not all.

The grapple had another hook at the end. When Izuku saw the grapple that had a second hook and the grenades all over the stadium he realized what Mei was doing.

'Clever girl,' Izuku thought with a knowing as he could now see what Mei was planning, she just needed to execute it and judging by the looks of it she would do just that.

Tenya was still in the air and raised his leg to do an axe kick, Mei saw him and rolled out of the way, but not before dropping something, another prize for Tenya. When Tenya landed on the ground he saw the circular device and kicked it away like a soccer ball. The device went outside the ring and exploded shocking everyone.

Mei smiled and it wasn't a normal smile either, it was her crazed inventing smile. Izuku and Melissa had seen that smile more than enough to know when whenever she has it on, it's bad news to whoever is around her. And her new lab rat is Tenya, too bad for him.

Mei activated a device on her wrist as she activated all the other grenades on the stadium. The circular glue grenades lit up in green color and then began to roll to Tenya location. The engine teen widened his eyes and began to dash away from the explosives. Tenya was now being chased like he was running away from dogs.

Mei laughed as she activated another explosion and threw Tenya off balance, all she need was one slip up and she will have him trapped in her glue. Once he is trapped he will have no choice, but to give up. Mei smiled even more as she could already taste her victory, but Tenya was not from a hero family for nothing.

The Iida's were not the type to give up and neither will Tenya. The boy focused his eyes and put more power to engine's to boost his speed. When he did he was creating more distance between him and grenades.

Mei lost her smile when she saw Tenya do a hard right and narrow his eyes at her. The teen crouched down and fired more power to his calf, the engine's shooting out blue fire as Tenya was about to come at Mei with full speed.

"Recipro Burst!" Tenya yelled as he just disappeared in a burst of speed and headed in a straight line right for Mei. Mei quickly activated the grappling hook that was outside and it quickly fired it at Tenya. Mei knew that Tenya was moving faster than claw and at his speed he would easily push her out, but that was her plan. She had made something just in case this would happen and planned ahead just in case.

Tenya was successful in pushing Mei out of the stadium and he will now win by ring out...or so he thought. Everyone watched as Mei was flying through the air and nearly falling onto which would make her lose the match, but the quirky and smart support girl shocked everyone when she activated her gloves and boots.

Mei activated her gear that she worked on for a whole week, what that gear was you may ask? Well it was hover boots and hand boosters, basically flight gear.

"Whoa!" Danny exclaimed as he and everyone saw Mei activate her flight gear and turn in mid air so that her boosters were pointed downwards. With her boosters down she could now stand straight up while mid air.

"Yes, it worked!" Mei exclaimed, not really knowing if her invention would work. The girl has a track record of making things go boom, but for one her invention panned out great for her. Izuku was looking at Mei's stance and it seemed to him that someone did their research on Iron Man, but Izuku was not the only one that saw the resemblance. For the other agents in the stadium and a certain someone.

Elsewhere

"Mr. Stark," A robotic voice called to the great inventor and former Avenger.

"Yes, Jarvis." Tony answered his...robotic butler or a better word would be his Artificial Intelligence. When Jarvis called to his master, the inventor was working on an engine in his garage. The man's hand was covered in black oil and grease from the new engine part that he was designing.

"The UA Sports Festival is on and Clint Barton's student is in the tournament round." Tony's ears perked when heard AI speak about the young archer. He actually likes Izuku, he reminds him a lot of Barton. Clint did good with that good and Tony could see it, the old hawk left an impact on the kid.

"Is he competing now?" Tony asked as he continued to work the engine, tighten a bolt with a screwdriver.

"No, sir. But I was watching it and I saw something rather...precarious." Tony now stopped what he was doing and put down the screwdriver.

"And prey tell what was that?" Instead of answering his creator Jarvis decided to show him what he was talking and about. When Tony saw the image of Mei hovering above the air in very similar fashion and he widened his eyes.

The way Mei was hovering was just like him was when we first made his flight gear for the Iron Man Armor Mark I. Tony's shocked face soon became one of curiosity and he even a donned smile as he turned fully around to watch the girl battle the taller teen.

"Jarvis, get my everything on that girl and also prepare the popcorn. I think I'm going to be here for a while." Tony grabbed his alcoholic drink and sipped some of the strong drink as he watched Mei.

'Maybe it's time I found myself an apprentice?' Tony thought with a smile as he turned his head to look behind and he looked at a case that held a certain armor with a silver and purple color scheme. The name on the case was Iron Man Armor: Mark XlLX. In short it was called the Rescue Armor.

Mei was hovering in the air shocking not only Tenya, but the audience. But before they could even piece together what was happening Mei decided to tell Tenya to look behind.

"I would turn around if I were you." Tenya didn't understand and when he did it was too late. The teen turned around and saw a grapple claw grabbed his shirt. He looked at where the claw came from and saw it was from earlier in the battle when Mei fired her grapple at him. He was never the true target, it was the wall outside of the ring.

The grappled claw attached to Tenya began to pull him backwards to where the other claw was and there was nothing he could really do to stop it. He burnt out his engines when he used the Recipro Burst and now he was stuck. All Tenya really could do was try to fight it, but it was hopeless especially when Mei hovered back into the ring and grabbed the same gun that fired the first grapple claw.

She aimed it at the same spot as the first only difference was that it was next to it. The claw fired and latched onto the wall. When it did it locked on Tenya's location and grabbed him, and just like the first it began to pull Tenya outside. When Mei fired the second it claw it was inescapable and Tenya had lost as Mei activated a boost in the claw to speed back up the process of taking him out.

"Winner by ring out, Mei Hatsume!" Midnight called the match the moment Tenya's feet were removed from the arena and the crowd screamed for the victory of the support student.

"Way to go Mei."

"Yeah, Mei!" Both Izuku and Melissa cheered for their best friend as she gave them a thumbs up.

"Another upset has happened in the first round and again it was by a student in the support class. Powerloader, what are you teaching those kids?" The Powerloader who was sitting with the rest of the teachers smiled at Mic's question. He is happy to see how far those girls were going and as much as he will miss them in support, he would be proud having two of his best enter the hero class.

"Mei and Melissa have both taken the tournament by surprise, but we are far from the end. Let's see what happens in the next round."

"Good commentary, partner." Mic complimented Aizawa on his commentary as Izuku made his way down to the stadium. "Will we see another upset as the next match begins?" Everyone's eyes were on this match for it was Izuku's turn.

The teen was exiting the tunnel when the pyro ignited and he made his way into the square arena. On the other side was none other than his class vice president, Momo. Oh, this was going to hurt Izuku. He never likes making a beautiful woman feel like a loser, but he wanted to win. He just hopes that she will be alright.

'I don't have arrows to spare, so I'm going to finish this quickly. Because I know for a fact that Danny and Katsuki will be in the quarter final and if not that then the finals. Sheesh...this is going to be harder than I thought.' Izuku thought as Midnight cracked her whip to officially start the third match of the first round.

The first two were upsets, people betted on the ones with better quirks and lost. Nothing has changed for this fight as everyone was calling for Momo to win even though Izuku has shown them that he is no ordinary quirkless. But hey, he didn't care. In fact, Izuku liked being the underdog. While Midnight cracked her whip to make the announcement Izuku was busy choosing a song.

"The third match will begin with Class-1A vice president Momo Yaoyoruzo vs Class 1A Izuku Midoriya." The crowd roared with approval as Midnight looked at the fighters.

"Fighters are you ready?" Momo gave a confidant nod to Midnight and then the official looked to Izuku to see him...not really nodding his head, but bobbing it.

"Uhh...Izuku, are you ready?" Midnight asked again and Aizawa decided to answer for her since he knows what Izuku is doing. So did Melissa, Danny, Mei, his mom, Owen, Nezu, Cisco, and the rest of SHIELD.

"Nemuri, just start the match he's not paying attention. He's listening to music, just look at his lips." Aizawa dragged as everyone could see Izuku lips moving as if he was singing a song...really was rapping it. Izuku was listening to Rule The World by 2 Chainz and Ariana Grande. Anyway, let's get back to the fight.

"Begin!" When Izuku saw Midnight crack her whip he quickly fired an arrow at Momo, it was so quick that people barely had time to blink and Momo barely had time to create a shield to block the arrow, but when she did that it opened her guard up and Izuku like he said earlier. He was going for the kill, he wanted to end this early and he was going to.

When Izuku fired the first arrow, it was meant to be a distraction while he quickly grabbed the next arrow and fired it at her feet. Before Momo knew what happened to her, her legs were ensnared by a bolo rope and she was on the ground.

The next thing Izuku did was fire another arrow at the ground near her face. Momo looked at the arrow in front of her and wondered what it would do. She got her answer when a gas came out of these small holes on the arrow and her eyes began to close. Before anyone could say KO, Momo was KO'd by the arrow's knock out gas.

"Wi-Winner...Wow." Midnight couldn't even call the match because it was so quick. Izuku just finished Momo off in like ten seconds. She thinks that is a record. Not only that it was the second quirkless students that defeated someone more powerful in a very quick and stunning fashion. Melissa blasting and dropping Shoto out of the ring, and now Izuku hitting Momo with some sleep gas.

"She'll be up in a couple minutes. It was just a knockout gas. Peace." Izuku put two fingers as he walked back to stands and continued to rap the song that he was listening to.

"Y'all know me, so lowkey. All this ice on, I got cold feet. My shawty bad, she a trophy. She like to lay on me and call me cozy. Yeah." Izuku rapped as he made his way back to the waiting area for the fighters and everyone just watched with dropped jaws. Well, all except those that truly knew the archer, that was just his personality.

"Well...let the match next begin." Mic said and Aizawa decided to help everyone that was still trying to comprehend what they just saw.

"Momo never stood a chance against Izuku, the kid is just levels above her. Maybe one day she will be on that level, but as of right now Izuku is top three in my class. Go head be fooled by the jokes, the music, the raping, and the personality, you are going to pay for it. He is no game and those that underestimate him will fall very quickly. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. That kid put me down on the first day of school." That made everyone even more shocked at Izuku's skill, but for those that were quirkless and watching the Festival all around Japan they were giving hope.

Hope that one day they could make it, hope that one day that they show people that just because their quirkless doesn't mean that they're useless. The archer didn't know it yet, but he was gaining popularity with the people and enemies for Trickshot was watching more and more of the emerald archer.

"The fourth match will now begin between Daniel Yagi, Hero Class 1-A's class president and General Studies Class 1-C Hitoshi Shinso." Midnight announced to the crowd as they recovered from their shock for the second time today. This fight was going to be like Mei and Tenya's, this was a quirk battle.

Izuku watched Shinso carefully, his shades gave him his file and he knew what the teen could do. He is able to brainwash people just by then speaking to him. He wonder's how Danny will combat this. If he talks then he is Shinso puppet and the Aizawa mini me can easily just tell Danny to walk out the arena.

'This will be interesting. Let's see how that One For All helps against a guy like him, D.' Izuku thought as he returned to his place on the wall and watched as Midnight gave the call.

"The fourth match will now begin. Fighters are you ready?" Both Danny and Shinso nodded their heads and Midnight cracked her whip to officially begin the match. When the match began Danny waited to see what Shinso was going to do, but instead he had his hands in his pocket, all while his face had a calm smile on it.

"Wow, I heard class 1-A was overhyped, but damn I didn't think it was true. I mean two of your best go knocked around like they were kids. Maybe UA needs to go back and review their exam test scores." Ok, Danny had enough of Shinso bad mouthing his classmates. Yeah, they messed up and underestimated their opponents, but there was no need for a bad mouth. As class president and as their friend he was not going to stand for that.

"Hey, I don't know-" Danny stopped talking and his eyes went lifeless all while Shinso had a victorious smirk on his face. Izuku whispered dumb-ass as he saw Danny get caught in the general studies student trap. Everyone including the teachers wondered what happened to Danny as they saw him stop talking and stop moving.

"Go take a walk outside the arena." Shinso ordered the One For All user and Danny like a slave obediently nodded his head and turned around to leave. Izuku sighed, looks like his best friend won't be making it. It's a shame he was looking forward to fighting him, but it also makes things easier for him. If he does go up against Shinso he could take him down easily.

'Oh, well. Looks like it will be me and Katsuki later on in the tournament...Wait why did Danny stop moving?' Izuku stopped his thought half way through as he saw Danny just stop at the edge of the arena, his feet were right at the line. All the American teen had to do was just step out and the victory would go straight to Shinso. But something happened, something is happening to Danny.

Izuku narrowed his eyes behind his shades as he saw the streaks One For All appear on teen's finger. It wasn't before he widened them when he and everyone else in the arena got hit with a gust of wind created by none other than Danny and caused by his finger. Izuku zoomed in on Danny's left index finger and saw that it was broken.

"Not bad, perfect smile."

"What do you mean, Zu?" Melissa asked as she wanted to know as did Mei.

"He broke the mind control, by breaking his finger." Izuku told them to widen their eyes and they could see that he was telling the truth as Danny moved again. He looked back at Shinso with shock eyes as well and the purple haired teen was caught off guard. No one had ever broken his control before, this was something new for him and he didn't know what to do.

It wasn't long before Izuku saw Danny run at Shinso and judo threw him out the ring, making him the winner. Izuku smiled while everyone cheered for teen. He was happy for D, don't get him wrong. But he had theory...more like a question as well. He knows that One For All is like the avatar cycle.

So Izuku's question is: 'Was it you that broke the control or the previous users, Danny? Either way it looks like you got an avatar state my friend. And that just made this tournament even harder.' Izuku groaned as the first four matches of the tournament concluded.

Upsets by Melissa and Mei. An annihilation by Izuku and a come from behind win from Danny. The tournament is just heating as we still have the other four matches of the first round. Katsuki, Fumikage, Itsuka, Eijiro, Neito, and Ojiro. Those six students are still looking to have their moment to shine and advance to the quarter final. Business is just picking up and that's not all. For the next round the opponents will be different and come the finals the stakes get higher.

In New York City, The Sanctum of Sanctorum

Director Fury had finished telling the demise of Clint Barton to Doctor Strange and the man now rubbed his beard. Fury waited in silence as the Doctor processed the information.

"You seek to rebuild the Avengers with the next generation." It wasn't a question, it was a statement and Fury knew it. So she just simply nodded her head to the master of magic.

"Hmmm...very well. I will assist you in contacting Thor." Doctor Strange gave Fury his answer and then snapped his fingers, where one moment they were in a massive library that could put Hogwarts to shame to some kind office. Fury collapsed again, she was really starting to hate that whole teleporting without warning thing.

The woman got up and looked around to see that she was in his office. She saw many books and many arcane artifacts, artifacts that even she doesn't want to know what they do.

Fury looked on his desk and saw that it was a closed book, the book had a title that was called the Darkhold. Fury was moving her hand to touch it, even open it, it was so...alluring. But Doctor Strange quickly appeared and slapped her hand with some kind orange whip that just appeared out of thin air.

"Amanda, trust me. That is something that even your father did not want to read. Now, I will provide you the requirement to speak with the Odinson. Just please wait patiently." Fury saw Doctor Strange go over to the wall where a mirror hung. She saw him begin to write what she could only guess as magic letters and words on the mirror and then give a phrase.

"What is that?"

"It is a magic mirror with a name that your human tongue can not pronounce. It can teleport or communicate with those in other worlds and even the universes. I used to speak with another sorcerer from a universe much like ours, but with few differences. He was also a doctor at that, a lord of fate. We had to work together to save a young magical and gifted girl from her father." Fury was curious about who this girl was and the same was for her father, but since it was a different universe it was out of her jurisdiction. But, it couldn't hurt to ask who these people were that made the good doctor travel to another universe.

"Who were they?"

"The girl's name was Raven and her father was a demon lord by the name of Trigon. Doctor Fate, myself, and few other magical beings were able to save her, but that story is for another time. Perhaps I will tell it to you, but for now you have other business. Enjoy the talk, Director." The master of magic teleported to leave Fury alone in his creepy office so that she could speak with Thor.

Fury sighed and walked towards the mirror where she widened her eyes, for she was looking at him. She was looking at the king of Asgard, the former Avenger, the Thunder God, Thor. The god much older than she last saw him. His once long golden blonde hair now cut short and having a grey color. He still had that handsome face and jaw that can make earth women including herself threw themselves at him.

Thor sat on the golden throne where his father and grandfather sat for generations. Fury could see that he was not happy, in fact he looked pissed and that was saying something since he had only one eye. She also noticed that he didn't have his legendary hammer, in his right hand was a golden spear that oozed with electricity.

"Speak, human." Thor spoke with a deep, old, and dangerous tone. A tone could easily recognize someone that didn't want to be bothered...with anything.

'Great he's pissed. This will be a long chat.' Amanda thought pessimistically as she began to open his mouth to tell Thor who she was and why she called him. Will she succeed? She hopes cause if not this war will be a lot longer than she wanted it to be.
