I rung my hands in worry as I watched the robots take Shoto and Iida on a stretcher. They had both fought well. They were injured but I knew that Recovery Girl would be able to heal them quickly.

"Team four prepare yourselves!" Vlad announced.

The next team to fight from class A was Katsuki, Jiro, Sero, and Sato. They were up against Bondo, Awase, Kamakiri, and Tokage from class B.

Once everyone was in position the match began. Each team had some sort of plan, but based on the looks on Sato and Jiro's faces I could tell that Katsuki had come up with something crazy.

Monoma began to laugh like a mad man, "this is it! Each class has a win and a lose! So if you guys lose or tie this next one you guys can no longer say you're better!"

"You need to chill man," Kaminari said with a bored expression.

"Ohhh! I've been waiting for this match in particular!" Monoma continued. "Why you ask? Because Tokage is in this one! Bakugo better be ready! Setsuna Tokage is the other one in Class B who got in on special recommendation! Let's just say she's not one to mess with!"

I looked to see Midoriya staring at the screen. He must be thinking of Katsuki as well. But it didn't matter what sort of tricks they would pull. Katsuki is not only strong but he's smart as well.

"Time for match four!" Vlad announced. "Each class has one win and one tie from the last match. However if you're thinking they're evenly matched then guess again! Class A's single win was mostly thanks to Shinso!" He continued to laugh.

"Hey! That's just mean!" Kaminari and Kirishima shouted. It wasn't long before others joined them in protest.

"That's enough," Shota said. "Are you going to complain over every failure once you go pro? Class B came up with better strategies. That much is clear." He gave an annoyed expression, "and Vlad is really showing me up!"

"Did we really expect much from the troublemakers?" Monoma laughed, getting on my nerves. "I mean it's no wonder that your inexperience gets you into so many disasters."

I scowled at him and looked back up at the screen. Katsuki and the others were on the move. It seemed they were going for a head on assault against class B.

They came to a stop and Jiro listened but it was too late, they had been lured into a trap by Tokage. Using her ability she split her body into pieces she left pieces all over the area. She began to attack Katsuki.

Sero jumped back with Sato and Jiro and made a barricade of tape to stop her body pieces from getting to them. However Bondo came in from behind and covered the tape in sticky glue. It began to drip down the tape and pool around the others.

As they tried to escape, Kamakiri made blades from his arms and cut the glue covered pipes above them.

"If that falls they'll get stuck," I chewed on my nail.

"They're using our moves against us!" Midoriya exclaimed.

Sato went to stop the falling pipes so Jiro and Sero could escape however before they hit, Katsuki came in and blasted the pipes away.

"Katsuki!" I gasped.

Kamakiri used the opening he created to jump down to attack and take out Jiro.

While being attacked by Tokage, Katsuki quickly rushed in and protected Jiro. He blasted Kamakiri while kicking Jiro out of the way. Kamakiri reacted in time and used his blades to block the blast but Katsuki followed up with another powerful explosion that knocked him into a pipe.

"What's this?" Monoma wondered. "Do my eyes deceive me? It almost looked like he protected Jiro."

"Yeah he did!" Kaminari said. "By kicking her!"

"Don't worry, Monoma," Kirishima said. "He's got sides to him you wouldn't expect. But it's true, this is the first time we've seen him put everything on the line for someone else."

I looked from them back to the screen where Katsuki was grinning. It's not the first time...at least not for me. I remember how close he held me when we were kidnapped. How much he tried to protect me from...him.

"He silently snuck up on them," Midoriya said snapping me out of my thoughts. "They're using the opposite strategy now."

Awase used some of the pipes to trap Katsuki between columns. He welded the pipes to Katsuki's gauntlets and other parts of his costume.

Sero tried to grab Awase with his tape but he managed to get away. Sato ran in and punched all of the pipes trapping Katsuki. His gauntlets were broken in the process but he was free to go after Awase.

Awase quickly covered himself in armor just as Katsuki reached him. However Katsuko jumped over him, leaving him to Jiro and Sero.

Katsuki continued moving forward to get Bondo. Bondo sent a glob of glue to try and grab Katsuki but he avoided it with an explosion before blasting Bondo. In the smoke Sato grabbed him and held him firm.

Sero and Jiro were able to capture Awase before heading off to meet with their teammates.

"What quick work from class A!" Vlad announced. "They've captured two of my students in the blink of an eye!"

I could hear Monoma growling in frustration. I turned to see a deep scowl on his face.

"Really? That tyrant never had a cooperative bone in his body! You're telling me he's mellowed out this much!"

"Jiro and the boys have good faith in him," Uraraka said.

"Their trust is how they are able to get the job done," I added on.

Katsuki went after Kamakiri next and took him down with a few quick moves. Katsuki's speed and agility winning him that one as he slammed Kamakiri against the wall with the force of an explosion backing him up.

All that was left was Tokage. Sero attached a grenade he had gotten from Katsuki onto one of the pieces Tokage had sent off. As it came back to her it exploded. She narrowly managed to avoid it but she fell into a trap laid by Katsuki. He jumped up from behind her and brought his hands together firing off a stun grenade move. The bright light and explosion was enough to bring her down.

Katsuki's team had one 4-0 within five minutes of starting.

"Class A's unexpected teamwork has led them to a 4-0 victory!" Vlad announced.

"You kept overall damage to a minimum and we're very efficient from start to finish," Shota said, giving them their results. "With Bakugo's mobility and power being the foundation, you three worked well and everyone did their jobs well."

"You guys had a solid strategy based on your opponents past fights and strengths," Vlad said to his students. "But the plan was too rigid unlike Honenuki's flexible approach."

"Sorry I dragged you down with me," Tokage apologized.

"Nah," Awase said. "Once their star player started using team work we never stood a chance."

Kaminari went over to praise Katsuki and the rest of his team but they were stopped by All Might.

"That gave me chills!" All Might smiled.

Katsuki turned and walked off, "oh yeah? Well you better see a doctor."

"Kacchan!" Midoriya exclaimed as Katsuki came near us.

"Out of the way nerd!" Katsuki instinctively yelled.

"I'm not actually in your way," Midoriya pointed out.

"I'm making progress," Katsuki said looking straight ahead.

"Yeah you did great out there," Midoriya agreed.

"At a speed you can't keep up with," Katsuko glanced over his shoulder. "Neither you or the Snowflake."

"Heh, we'll see about that," I smirked and put my hands on my hips.

"I'll surpass you," Midoriya declared.

"Shut it!" Katsuki snapped. "Is that all you two got to say? Cause you'll never beat me you dweebs!"

"Just watch me!" Midoriya replied.

All Might approached us, "that's one good friend you've got."

Finally it was our turn to go up against class B. It was me, Midoriya, Ashido, and Uraraka against Monoma, Yanagi, Kodai, Shoda, and Shinso.
I knew Monoma could copy other's quirks, but I didn't know the limit of what he could copy. Yanagi could make objects move and Kodai could alter the size of things. I didn't know much about Shoda's quirk other than it was a power type.

Of course there was Shinso to worry about. His brainwashing mixed with the capture rope he learned from Shota. I had a feeling he was going to be out biggest threat.

As we got into position we began to come up with a plan.

"We need to be careful of Shinso's brainwashing, if he gets us it's over," I said as I put my goggles on.

"Let's not focus too hard on him though," Uraraka said. "The others are the type to stay hidden and launch attacks at us."

"I'll be bait," Midoriya said as he jumped down in front of us.

"How are things?" Ashido asked. "You said your quirk has been acting weird."

Midoriya looked down at his hand, "there's nothing strange now. It's back to normal. Still based on the fourth match they are probably gonna be extra wary of me. I'd better be ready to go all out."

"I'll come with as back up," I said. "They're probably expecting me to go in with a head on assault but if you and I can distract them, Ashido and Uraraka can take them from behind. I'll provide defense for you guys."

"Alright," Midoriya nodded. "We can win this."

"Time for Match 5!" Vlad announced. "The final battle! Everyone ready? Keep it together to the very end and do your best! Now start!"

Midoriya and I took off. He began jumping from pipe to pipe while I extended my glider and took to the air. Uraraka and Ashido followed on the ground below.

I stayed close enough to where I could see my teammates, however it was hard to tell if anyone was hiding inside the buildings and columns. We weren't able to speak freely at the risk of Shinso.

We had to lure them out. My strength and Midoroya's speed would be bait. There's just no way they can ignore us. As soon as they go for Midoriya then I can drop down on them with air and fire, bringing them to the others then it's game over.

I saw a barrel get thrown and Uraraka shrieked. I was expanding Yanagi, but was surprised to see Monoma. I brought my glider down and landed on a pipe near Midoriya.

"Did you spot me?" Monoma asked. "After observing Bakugo we'd be fools to take you two lightly. It's only natural to be on guard against someone so strong and agile as you," he looked at Midoriya. He turned to me and grinned. "You might actually be a monster here though. The clever ones among us realize that."

I felt my anger rise at his comment. I opened my mouth, but Midoriya grabbed my wrist and shook his head. I took a deep breath. That's right, he's just trying to get us to talk.

"On the other hand, someone truly clever might say it was the other three who amplified Bakugo's strength. Crushing them should've taken priority."

I moved in closer, blocking Monoma from Midoriya. Monoma controlled a barrel to try and hit Midorya who dodged it. He landed somewhere behind me.

"You're such a showman," Monoma told Midoriya. "And you've gone out of your way to protect him, Shichi. I'm sure my allies have already found yours. It'll be four against two. How do you think your team will fare? There's no way for you to communicate with Shinso out there."

I looked around, worried for Ashido and Uraraka. I reached for the ground and that's when Monoma sprinted at me. He grabbed me and slammed me to the ground.

"I was looking for a way to copy your quirk!" Monoma said as he grabbed my face. His eyes turned red and fire began to burn from his fingertips.

I activated my fire quirk and took control of his flames to stop him from burning me before using a gust of air to knock him back.

Midoriya jumped in from behind me and used his fingers to shoot air at Monoma. His eyes turned yellow and he formed an air shield.

"It's a wonder how you're so weak with a quirk like this!" Monoma sneered at me.

Midoriya landed next to me, ready for the next attack. I realized that Monoma could only use one of my powers at a time.

"I had a little chat with Shinso," Monoma said making orange flames around him. "The gifted will break this world."

"Tell me Shichi, how is it that you can still smile knowing you and Bakugo brought about the downfall of the symbol of peace?"

I heard Midoriya raise his arm but the world fell away from me.

"You'll be the one to destroy the symbol of peace."

I had heard those words before. I let out a breath and then the winds around me began to blow. The building and the pipes around me began to creak as the winds grew stronger.

I saw a black streak in the corner of my eye, I could tell that Midoriya had been blown away. I couldn't help but feel something was wrong with him, but I was too angry to do anything.

"Did I touch a nerve?" Monoma asked with a smug look. His eyes were yellow, making the air go around him.

'You asshole!' I thought as I took a step forward. The building around us gave out and exploded from the sheer force of wind I was putting out. I shot the debris out in every direction.

I could feel the pressure in the air start to change. When I looked up the clouds were beginning to darken.

"You've grown this much?" Monoma asked, surprised.

'I'm the most powerful person here,' I thought. 'I'll end you.'

All I could see was red, I was so angry and hurt and I could hear that voice in my head. I ran for Monoma just as the rain began to fall.

He held his hands up and tried to force me back with a gust of wind.

I cut through it with a blade of air. He dodged it and a gash opened in the building.

Lightning struck near Monoma setting the building on fire.

"How are you doing this?" Monoma asked, I could see the fear on his face.

The rain traveled to form a whip of water around my arm. My body trembled as I forced the wind around me to blow stronger. The storm of emotions that had brewed inside me were finally released for all to see.
