Soul Heroes (Maka Albarn vs. Izuku Midoriya)

Izuku Midoriya and Maka Albarn, holding Soul in his scythe form, met in the center of the ring with a handshake. The two then backed up to their respective sides of the circle, not taking their eyes off each other, staring at each other with intensity, as if trying to strategize their start to the fight. Blair looks at the both of them, and the crowd of students looking on, before waving her flag down to the ground.

"And….BEGIN!" Blair yelled out. Despite the match starting, Maka and Midoriya were still in their respective sides, looking around the circle, and deep in thought.

"Start the fucking match already!" Bakugo yelled, causing both Midoriya and Maka to look back at him and glare.

"Is he always this much of a dick?" Maka asked Midoriya, still looking right at Bakugo, who was growing tick marks on his head. Midoriya rolled his eyes at Bakugo's anger and nodded his head at Maka.

"Yep," Midoriya responded before both he and Maka ran to the center. Midoriya went to a set of punches, but Maka was able to counter by shielding herself with her scythe. Maka hit a kick to Midoriya's stomach, but Midoriya barely moved and tossed Maka behind him. Maka was able to land on his feet, and hit a flying kick onto Midoriya's back, sending him to the ground.

"You're really good, Maka," Midoriya complimented, with a smile on his face that showed the pain of the kick to the back.

"Flattery will get you nowhere, Midoriya," Maka quipped, coming at Midoriya with a fist, but Midoriya dodged the fist, and hit Maka with a couple of kicks to the arm, and then hit a spinning heel kick to Maka's face, sending her down with a bloody mouth. Maka put her gloved hand over her mouth, covering the glove in her own blood. She put on a smile, and tried to sweep Midoriya's legs, which Midoriya jumped up to avoid, and kicked Maka in the gut.

"Yeah! Go Deku, you can do it!" Uraraka cheered, causing Midoriya to blush briefly before he went back to planning his next move. Bakugo rolled his eyes and smirked at Uraraka.

"Jesus, why don't you fuck him already, Chipmunk Cheeks," Bakugo joked, laughing at the blushing face of Uraraka.

"Shut up!" Uraraka shouted, before noticing Midoriya and Maka trading kicks and strikes. Maka kicked Midoriya's knee and punched him in the face a few times. Midoriya turned on his All for One ability, with light green lightning spreading throughout his body while his veins glowed a bright red. Maka was taken aback for a second, which was enough for Midoriya to recover and punched her in the face, sending her careening to the other side of the ring.

"OK…looks like we're going full force, are we?" Maka asked before she raised her scythe. "Soul, it's time we went in full power too," Maka told Soul in his scythe form, before turning the scythe onto its blunt end, and rammed it into Midoriya's stomach before putting the scythe down like a pole, and used it to hit a tiger feint kick onto Midoriya, hitting him right in the face and causing him to stagger. Maka picked up the scythe, twirled it over her head, and hit the blunt end into Midoriya's face, sending his body twisting and rocketing away from Maka.

"Alright Maka! Way to kick ass!" Liz cheered, with Patty clapping and nodding in agreement. Iida nodded but looked over at Midoriya, who was slightly staggering from the hit with the scythe.

"Come on Midoriya! I believe in you, and so does the rest of Class 1A!" Iida called, with most of Class 1A cheering him on, except for Bakugo.

"Come the fuck on, extras! If I couldn't beat one of these DWMA losers, then what chance does Deku have!?" Bakugo yelled at Iida, to which Uraraka turned him around and glared at him with as much intensity as she could muster.

"Why don't you shut the hell up Bakugo!? Deku can win this, and he'll do it better than you ever could!" Uraraka yelled while Midoriya had run to Maka, and started trading punches and kicks with her. Bakugo grew several tick marks on his head, and Uraraka was still glaring at him. Before Bakugo could yell at Uraraka, Lord Death hit Bakugo with a chop to the head.

"Quiet in the front, please! We're watching the exhibition," Lord Death chastised before Bakugo grumbled at Uraraka and returned his attention to Maka and Midoriya's fight. Midoriya was still fighting with All for One, and Maka was trying to deflect his punches and kicks with the scythe.

"Maka! Can we try another plan now? I'm not enjoying getting punched like this," Soul commented, which Maka responded to by turning to him with a smirk.

"Well, you want to take this thing to the final level then?" Maka asked. Soul quickly realized what Maka was talking about, and agreed.

"Alright, let's do it!" Soul exclaimed before Maka and Soul performed a Soul Resonance, causing the blade of the scythe to become larger and emit a light blue aura. Midoriya looked at the transformed scythe in shock, while Maka was looking at Midoriya with the smirk still present on her face.

"Alright, Midoriya, I want all the power you have. I'm giving you one of my most powerful moves, and I want to see what you have to fight it with," Maka called, with Midoriya nodding.

"Oh don't worry, I have all I need right here," Midoriya responded, concentrating All for One into his right arm and hand. Midoriya also focused All for One onto his legs, so that he could move faster than he did before. Maka was having a hard time seeing Midoriya, but she was able to see the green streak of lightning that was trailing behind Midoriya and started swinging the scythe at Midoriya, activating the Genie Hunter. Midoriya's hand made contact with the blade of the scythe, causing a giant explosion, sending smoke and dust all around the battle arena. Everyone in the vicinity of the smoke and dust started coughing and rubbing their eyes. After a minute, the dust and smoke started to clear, revealing that both Midoriya and Maka were out of bounds, and unconscious.

"Well…uh…IT'S A TIE!" Blair yelled out, as Midoriya, Maka, and Soul who had turned back into a human started stirring.

"Wait…DOES THAT MEAN WE LOST!?" Bakugo yelled, with everyone surrounding him rolling their eyes before Todoroki decided to speak up.

"First of all, since we won a match, the DWMA won a match, and both sides couldn't win the last match, it's a tie, not a loss. Secondly, this wasn't a competition. The purpose of these fights was to help us be better prepared in different styles of fights," Todoroki explained to Bakugo, who paid him no mind.

"A TIE IS JUST AS BAD! WE'RE BETTER THAN THESE LOSERS!" Bakugo countered, with Black Star laughing at him.

"Coming from the guy who got his ass kicked by Kid," Black Star mocked, patting Death the Kid on the back.

"AT LEAST I DIDN'T GO DOWN AFTER 8 SECONDS!" Bakugo yelled at Black Star, who came up and went face to face with Bakugo, with Tsubaki right behind Black Star, trying to convince him to back off. However before the two could come to blows, Aizawa entangled Bakugo in his scarf and Lord Death hit a chop to Black Star's head.

"That's enough. Todoroki's right Bakugo, this isn't a contest. I don't need you causing more trouble with more people for UA, so why don't you-" Aizawa lectured before he heard a rustling coming from the bushes. Aizawa turned fast enough to cause whiplash in a normal person and used his scarf to bind the person and lift them up in the air. The person turned out to be a pink-haired teenager in a black dress, who looked like he was going to have a heart attack.

"Uh…hi there," the intruder said meekly, avoiding eye contact with all the members of Class 1A. This did not stop Bakugo from stomping up to him and grabbing him by the front of his shirt.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND HOW DID YOU GET HERE, YOU LITTLE SHIT!?" Bakugo screamed in the face, causing the boy to start freaking out, shaking, and squirming. Maka, who by now had gotten up from her battle, grabbed the teenager by the back of his dress and pulled him out of Bakugo's grasp.

"This is our friend, Crona. I don't know why he's here though. Crona, why are you here, I thought you didn't want to come to UA with us," Maka asked, while Bakugo was seething that someone who had just gotten knocked unconscious could take something from his grasp. Crona, meanwhile, was blushing and looking at the ground.

"I…got lonely," Crona mumbled out, but it was loud enough for Bakugo to hear as he started laughing. Maka rolled her eyes and jabbed her pointer finger in Bakugo's chest.

"Why don't you shut the hell up, crazy!? At least he has friends!" Maka argued, causing Bakugo to get in her face.

"I don't need friends! I'm going to be the #1 Hero!" Bakugo yelled back.

"Don't you need to be nice to be a hero?" Crona asked, mumbling quietly, but Bakugo was able to hear him.

"FUCK YOU, LOSER!" Bakugo yelled before Lord Death pulled Bakugo back behind him. "HEY! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR!?"

"Crona, since you're here, and we have plenty of other students here, would you mind taking part in one last exhibition fight?" Lord Death asked gently.

"Uh…well…I just…I'm not…I didn't know I would…uh," Crona stammered, trying to find the most polite way to say 'no', but an unwanted guest decided to make his opinion known.

"Oh don't be such a baby Crona, let's go and show these losers who's the best!" Ragnarok exclaimed after sprouting from Crona's back, causing the Class of 1A to jump and scream. Even Aizawa seemed to flinch in surprise upon seeing Ragnarok growing out of Crona.

"Well that was unexpected," Bakugo mumbled, his anger completely dissipating and being replaced with shock and confusion. Fumikage Tokoyami, the Dark Shadow quirk user, stepped out of the crowd and faced Crona.

"Interesting…you appear to have an ability similar to mine with Dark Shadow," Tokoyami stated, as Dark Shadow came out of Tokoyami and started down Crona and Ragnarok.

"So…do you…want to…battle me?" Crona asked, not looking Tokoyami in the eye.

"That's the spirit, Crona!" Ragnarok exclaimed, giving Crona a pat on the back, who responded by rolling his eyes and mumbling both miserably and angrily.

"I would love to. I want to see which of our…partners are stronger and whether I have what it takes to battle a DWMA student," Tokoyami said respectfully, holding a hand out to Crona. Crona looked shocked for a moment, before shaking Tokoyami's hand with his lips curving slightly to form a small smile.

"Now that we have that settled, let's get this final match underway," Aizawa instructed, causing everyone, DWMA and UA students alike, to follow him back to the sparring ring.
