(Your POV)
It was finally the end of the day, and I was tired. Sadly, the vast majority of my peerage is now out of the tournament, with the only exceptions being Bam and I. To sum it all up, all of my peerage members need to learn how to expect the unexpected, all of them were caught off guard by their opponents and forced out of the arena, but I was glad none of us ended up fighting each other. In any case, there were now only sixteen people left and the tournament would be over, it should be easy to finish off this whole tournament thing.

It was kind of a pain knowing most of my peerage was out, but it felt it went by so quick. As if whatever god up there just wanted to hurry up and get this over with. In any case, Charlotte and Laura we're currently fighting above a forest and ocean terrain, which was useless since stratos users specialize in aerial combat. However, I wasn't focused on that, I was trying to sleep on the bench I was laying on while using my hands as a pillow and Bam watched the fight.

Me and Bam weren't the only ones in the waiting room of course, everyone in the list was in here with us, aside from the two fighting. Arlo also sitting on the bench next to Bam, most likely since we are the only people he actually knows.
I was thankful that Tohka still treated me like a friend even in this situation, but she was currently sitting on my stomach for whatever reason, red faced as she did so. Rias and Akeno were sitting on the bench across from us, with Rias giving a jealous glare at Tohka and I, while Akeno watched and had an intimidating smile on her face. Yang was also on the bench across from me, but she just looked at me with a pouting face.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Luffy were arguing about who was going to become the Hokage/King of the Pirates respectfully, that was until Ichigo broke up the argument and now it's a three way argument. Watching the argument was Zoro and Gaara, both of whom looked disappointed in their future opponents. As I looked around the room, I noticed that Laura wasn't here, so I tried getting up but was stopped by Tohka.

"Arlo, Bam." I called out to my two friends, getting their attention in the process. "Any of you two see that Laura girl anywhere? She was here a minute ago?"

"I think she went out to get some air." Arlo answered bluntly, his tone still all high and mighty, kind of like Weiss. "Why? Does she owe you something?"

"No, I just have a gut feeling that I should keep an eye on her." I admit as Tohka stared at me, and I would've gotten mad if Tohka wasn't so damn adorable. "Tohka, why are you sitting on top of me?"

"I don't know why, but I heard Akeno wanted to ride you, so I wanted to see what the big idea was?" Tohka admits, causing me to go red-faced and glare at Akeno, who was getting pissed off glares from Rias and Yang.

"Tohka, you're way off." I informed the girl, not really giving her a solid answer as I gently removed her off me and sat up. "In all seriousness guys, I just have a bad feeling about this Laura, like she's going to do something drastic."

"I'm sure she isn't that bad." Bam suggested, sweats dropping in the process as he said this.

"Normally, I can tell what someone's feeling by looking into their eyes." I admitted as I started condensing water in the palm of my hand since I was starting to get bored. "With that in mind, Laura seems...angry and vengeful about something, but I don't know what."

"Can't do anything about it now can we?" Yang stated as she leaned back on her bench and got comfortable. "All we can do is hope she doesn't do anything drastic."

(Third person, in the stands)

In the stands, was everyone in your peerage who got disqualified all sitting together. With the disqualified pieces were Yoshino, Sung, Raynare, Mittlet, and Kalawarner. Yoshino was currently wearing more normal clothes to blend in with everyone, which was a dark blue shirt, white skirt, paired with a sun hat that had a (f/c) ribbon around it, and mint green crocs. As everyone watched the fight, Yoshino started to feel somewhat distressed, and Raynare noticed this before taking action.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Ray asked the girl who sat between herself and Sung. "You can talk about it in private if you want, just don't summon a storm."

"She's worried." Yoshinon answered in his mistress' stead, somewhat annoying Raynare. "If this keeps up, her father will have to end up fighting one of those big machines!"

"You mean those stratos?" Mori asked from behind the girl, causing Yoshino to nod slowly. "Please, (Y/N)'s taken on one of those and won without much effort. What's more, it was the British Representative who he beat, so (Y/N) won't lose to a bunch of people who rely on machines to fight."

"And he's only gotten stronger, so I wouldn't worry too much about him if I were you." Sung commented as he watched the fight between 'Charles' and Laura unfold in front of him, noticing that Laura has a massive advantage. "If something were to happen, he can always summon that Fulgore machine to fight alongside him."

"That's not it, look at the eye patch girl's stratos!" Yoshinon pointed it's fabric hands at Laura, causing everyone to focus on Laura.

As everyone of them focused they not only realized that Laura had some sort of barrier protecting her from 'Charles' attacks, but her veins were also turning black for whatever reason. Jihan used his version of [Observe] on Laurato understand what's going on with her, then his eyes went wide. Jihan then tapped his neighbor, Dark's , shoulder to show him the pop-up, gaining a surprised look from the warlock.

"Guys, check this out." Jihan showed off the light brown pop-up in front of him, revealing that Laura had a [Boosting Drug] status applied to her, which is pretty self explanatory. "Sera, John, is this Ember's doing?"

"No clue, but we should probably tell Meliodas about it before things get out of hand." John then proceeded to take out his phone to text Meliodas, but that's when things started going south.

Laura summoned tentacles from her stratos that wrapped the tentacles around Charles' legs and sent the pilot into the air before dropping 'him' into the dirt and dragging 'him around brutally. As Laura did this, she looked completely unamused and more impatient than what would be considered to be me normal. The scoreboard also showed the two contestants' HP, and Charles' hit points went below the required amount, but Laura didn't stop then.

"Laura Bodewig, you already won this fight, calm down." Aizawa ordered the girl, who returned the order by dropping Charles from 25 meters in the air. "Bodewig!"

"I'll only stop when I fight (Y/N) (L/N)." Laura said in an impatient voice, making Meliodas sigh. "He's the only real soldier here, everyone else here are nothing more than weaklings."

As she said this, everyone in your peerage started getting pissed off, in contrast to the rest of the audience's expressions of fear and concern. Joe already had his fangs and tiger eyes summoned, ready to go while Jihan started chanting with his staff in hand. Everyone was about to jump in before Sung stopped them, he then proceeded to take out a nail and throw it into the arena. The nail was stopped by a force field before it reached into the arena, causing everyone in your peerage to reluctantly calm down and put away their weapons.

"You know Laura, you should probably learn to calm down." Meliodas distracted the German girl as an orange portal appeared below Charles, letting the 'boy' through before vanishing back into nothingness. "You would have fought (Y/N) if you simply went with the rules."

"Well he and I have some unfinished business." Laura responded to the teacher's demands, catching Meliodas off guard. "If I can beat (Y/N), the true Queen of the Storms will finally acknowledge me once more."

After she said this, the dark hall that led to the locker room suddenly sparked (f/c) sparks for a brief second before the darkness consumed the hall once more. From this darkness, a familiar spear launched itself at Laura, which she dodged with little effort. The spear wasn't alone however, after she dodged, a greatsword, trident, sword, pickaxe, chainsaw/sword, scepter, and even a wrench all launched themselves at Laura. This caused the pilot to fly upwards to dodge the new weapons, but that was before a familiar spear lodged itself into Laura's main cannon. Shocked by this, Laura looked at where the spear should have landed to see you, holding [Failnaught] and hair covering your eyes, but you had a grin on your face.

(Your POV)

"Sorry Friend, but you should probably give up on that dream." I advised as I dismissed all of my weapons except for [Failnaught] and [Areadbhar]. "Mind just dropping this whole 'True Queen of the Storms' nonsense and coming along peacefully?"

Despite my calm demeanor, I was beyond pissed at Laura for harming Charlotte. I was thankful that I managed to use my [Portal Gun] to get Charlotte out of there, and that Arlo went to go find Elaine, but I still pissed that Laura would go this far for someone. Still, maybe I can use her to find out Ursula's location and finally finish this prophecy crap we're in. In any case, [Areadbhar] was thrown back at me by Laura, which I quickly caught with my spare hand.

"So you finally showed yourself (Y/N), were you perhaps worried about her?" Laura turned her head to the place where Charlotte would've landed, but Laura's eye went wide when she saw that there was no one there. "I take it you got her out of the arena?"

"Bingo, but I'm more disappointed in you about this whole thing." I admitted before drawing [Areadbhar] back with [Failnaught] before taking aim at the pilot. "Patience is a virtue, they say."

"Looks like a last-minute fight folks!" Koro-Sensei tried to make this entire thing look like an act they planned from the start, a good idea for controlling the crowd. "In the air we have the German Representative, Laura Bodewig. Drawing his bow, we have (Y/N) (L/N), it's hard to say how this fight will play out!"

"On one hand, (Y/N) excels in weaponry and variety, while Laura specializes in power and aerial combat." Meliodas calmly said, while I prepared a stragety. "It's hard to say who'll win."

After he said this, I aimed [Failnaught] into the sky and let the spear lose, sending [Areadbhar] into the sky and past Laura, causing the spear to disappear in the air. While she was distracted by the spear missing her, I shot three arrows at Laura, but those arrows were blocked by a barrier suddenly appearing in front of her. I then watched as Laura charged up her railgun before firing, forcing me to summon [Spear of Leonidas] and throw the broken spear before warping to it. After I landed in the ocean biome, Laura used tentacles to come after me.

In response to the tentacles, I dismissed [Failnaught] and bit into [Spear of Leonidas]' hilt, then I summoned [Murasama] and prepared the blade by placing my hand on the hilt. Once the tentacles were in front of me, I quickly unsheathed [Murasama], revealing it's red blade as I cut all of the tentacles before sheathing the blade once more. I then let go of the sword before summoning [Keyblade] and using [Fire] to summon three fireballs headed in Laura's direction. Of course, the fireballs were blocked by Laura's shield, but they were enough to create smoke that was enough to temporarily blind Laura.

I then dismissed [Murasama] and [Keyblade], then I summoned [Direct Hit], [Brass Beast], [Star of the Rouge], [Trident of the Oracle], and [LVL 3 Sentry]. I quickly started opening fire by using [Brass Beast] with one hand as my [Sentry] started shooting off bullet rounds at Laura. With surprised eyes, the shield blocked the bullets once more, while I threw [Star of the Rouge] with my spare hand. After throwing the star, I grabbed [Direct Hit] and began circling Laura, firing my guns as I did so.

Strangely enough, Laura didn't use her shield on the missiles I launched at her, instead, she dodged everything I threw at her. That must be because Laura's shield has a limit as to how much it can block at once, so I started using [Elven Sprint] before summoning [Terra Blade] in my mouth. As I circled around Laura, I shot bullets, rockets, and energy swords all at once. Laura was starting to become overwhelmed by this, and she had to rely on her armor to take the hits for her. However, I was starting to run low on ammo, so I summoned [LVL 3 Dispenser] next to my sentry. I then stopped next to the dispenser to resupply my ammo, still firing at I did so.

Laura then fired her railgun at me, but I summoned my [Shield of the Just] in front of me, holding it up with my foot as the shield blocked the shot from the railgun. I then dismissed my shield as my Star came back to me and Laura looked to be struggling with all the bullets flying at her. Laura, looking to be one her last nerve, ditched the traditional stratos fighting style and summoned two blades of energy from her palms. Forcing me to dismiss all of my weaponry with [Rain Gate] and summon [Sword of the Creator] plus [Aymr].

I then kept back to dodge Laura's strike with her right hand, followed by me using [Sword of the Creator] to wrap around her arms, but the shield blocked it, so I used [Aymr] to strike the legs. [Aymr] landed itself onto Laura's leg, confirming my theory on Laura's shield. So I kept back once more and threw my two weapons before using [Elven Sprint] to get behind Laura.

"[Fist of the Black Turtle]." I drew my fist back, summoning a black aura around my entire arm before punching Laura's back and sending her forward due to the force, followed by me summoning [Sword of the Tall] above of Laura and forcing her to use her shield on it.

"[Kick of the Red Phoenix]." I raised my leg up before stomping it on the ground, summoning a red pillar of fire that enveloped Laura. I then summoned [Diamond Pickaxe] and threw it at Laura's back to force her shield to activate before warping in front of Laura.

"[Dance of the White Tiger]." I then proceeded to deliver rapid punches and kicks all at once all over Laura's stratos, further damaging it, that's when I noticed a familiar spear falling above Laura.

"[Wave of the Blue Dragon]!" I drew both my hands back to form a kind of orb in my hands, only acting once more after [Areadbhar] activated Laura's shield from above. That's when I sent a wave of force in Laura's direction, sending into the forest and with her HP down the required amount. "Checkmate."

"No..." Laura stubbornly refused her defeat, despite being covered in injuries. "I am not weak, I will not be defeated by the likes of you!"

After she said this, Laura's stratos started to turn into some kind of liquid state and grew. The stratos started enveloping Laura's entire body, catching me off guard. Laura's expression of determination and rage was quickly replaced by one of fear and helplessness, so I tried helping her by using [Lord of the Sea] on the liquid in hopes that it will work, but the liquid just won't budge. I looked up at the teachers to see if they knew what was going on, but all of them looked as confused as I did. However, Meliodas gave a light nod, which I understood immediately.  As the liquid finished enveloping Laura, it showed an entirely different stratos with Laura's entire body nowhere to be seen. Meanwhile, I summoned [Taiyojoo] in my right hand, [Tsukihime] in my left, and [Lostvayne] in my mouth.

"Hold on Mel, isn't that your-" Present Mic asked, obviously shocked that I have [Lostvayne].

"I'm not entirely sure, could be a replica." Meliodas smirked jokingly as he looked down at the arena with interested eyes. "Also, is it me or does Laura look like Chifuyuu now?"

"Now that you mention it, she does look like Chifuyuu." Aizawa commented as me and Laura looked at each other. "It looks like Laura's using one of those illegal Valkyrie systems, they allow whoever's been taken over to take on all of the strengths of whoever they look like. So in other words, (Y/N (L/N) is going to be fighting the infinite stratos teacher here. Think we should intervene?"

"Nope!" Meliodas agreed, causing me to smirk as me and Laura dashed at each other to signal the start of the match.

I slashed at Laura with [Taiyojoo], causing her to dodge and deliver a kick to my stomach before I could even react. I was sent into the air, Laura then flew at me with a greatsword in her hands, catching me off guard and forcing me to block. Since I was in the air, I was at a massive disadvantage, given how I can't fly. I still fought back with everything I have, but Laura now seemed to outclass me in the strength department and sent me into the water of the ocean biome. I used [Lord of the Sea] to use the water around me to make an ice shield in front of me before Laura flew at me and destroyed the shield.

I kept up into the air and used my jacket's enchantment to stay above Laura as she charged below me, finally realizing where I was before flying up at me and att,ping to slash me with her great sword.  I then realized I had no choice and began using everything I had. I began by using [Holy] to summon a (f/c) substitute of me that remained in place as Laura swung at it with her sword, causing a bright flash to engulf the area. I then summoned [Joker] to help me out, followed by me handing him both of my sealed zanpakuto before I summoned [Bow of the Clever] and [Soda Popper]. I then used [V.A.T.S] to aim for her head, but only three out of ten shots hit their marks.

"Joker, [Hopscotch]!" I ordered my stand before dismissing both of my weapons to grab my swords again, causing Joker to create black, chalk-like lines around the arena. "Remember Laura, step on the line, you break your spine."

I carefully landed on the middle of the part, trying not to step on a single line because I can't afford to break my back. However, Laura stepped on one crack and caused her back to become crooked, but that was quickly fixed with a horrid sounding 'crack' as the stratos seemingly repaired itself. I realized how pointless this game was so I deactivated the game and pointed [Taiyojoo] at Laura As I pointed [Tsukihime] upwards. 

"The rain drags the black sun down, but the rain is dried by the white moon." I held out both my zanpakuto, while Laura charged at me with her greatsword. "Kuro Taiyojoo no Shiro Tsukihime!"

As I said this, a white gust of wind blew around me, alongside black cinders. These winds and cinders enveloped my whole body and made me disappear for a moment before emerging with my zanpakuto in their shikai states. I grabbed [Lostvayne] with [Kuro Taiyojoo]'s gauntlet and covered the blade in black flames, causing Laura to stop for a moment. I then dashed at Laura, both of my swords drawn back.

The greatsword clashes with [Shiro Tsukihime], causing frost to start to spread across the blade Laura was holding, I then used [Lostvayne] to cut the wing of the stratos, setting it ablaze in black flames. Laura flew back and tried slashing at me once more, but I blocked it with [Shiro Tsukihime] before slashing at Laura's other wing to set it ablaze, but Laura didn't seem to care. She seemed solely focused on defeating me, which I wasn't going to let happen.

I leapt back and took a large breath of air before charging at Laura to finish this fight. As I ran at her, I used [Water Breathing, Tenth Form: Constant Flux] to summon dragons from both of my swords. From Tsukihime, a dragon made of frost emerged to show off it's milky white eyes. As for Lostvayne, a black dragon of flames with amethyst eyes emerged. Laura tried blocking with her greatsword, but a slash with [Lostvayne] broke the sword in half, leaving black flames where it cut. I then slash at Laura's stratos with [Shiro Tsukihime], cresting a moment of stillness before her stratos completely shattered like clay.

After destroying her stratos, I dismissed all of my weapons and felt myself become exhausted, but I still turned my attention to Laura, who was unconscious. So I jumped below her in order to carry her small body bridal style, followed by me landing on the ground with a large thud. Shorty followed by Laura grabbing onto my shirt, causing me to give her my full attention.

"Why...why are you so strong?" Laura asked weakly, sounding more disappointed in herself than anything.

"I got stronger to protect everyone I care about." I admit, gaining a look of admiration from Laura. "Now rest, you've done enough today."

After I said that, Laura closed her eye and I continued my walk into the locker room. The stands were completely silent until I walked back into the hall, then I heard the crowd roar into cheers and clapping. In response to the cheering, I let out a small smile and continued walking to the locker room, since Laura's obviously gonna need some rest after all that. Now that I mention it, I could go for some rest too.

(Timeskip, brought to you by Dawei looking proud that you managed to perfectly learn the Dance of the Four Gods)

After that fight went down, the tournament went on as scheduled, but I didn't fight anymore. I was worried I got myself disqualified from the tournament for intervening with Charlotte's match. However, the girl in question reassured me to tell me that it was fine, and that it's thanks to my actions that she's alright. I was still worried until the winners were announced, that's when the official tournament came to an end. So everyone who wasn't disqualified made it up. I was surprised to see that there were only five of us who made it this far, Naruto, Luffy, Ichigo, Rias, and myself.

"Welcome you five!" All Might cheered in his usual heroic tone, making everyone around him feel like they were staring at greatness personified. "Congratulations on making it this far, so shall we begin handing out the medals?"

"I don't want a medal, I want a feast!" Luffy commented, making facepalm.

"Okay..." All Might sweat dropped before clearing his throat to get back on track. "In any case, the third place winner is...Ichigo Kurosaki! Your stubbornness and determination allowed you to make it this far, so you've earned this place.

"Congrats man." I congratulated my friend, who stepped up to the lowest podium, who looked back at me to give a thumbs up.

"The second place goes to...Naruto Uzimaki!" All Might announced, making the ninja in question cheer and point somewhere in the crowd to some guy with a mask. "Naruto, your drive never faltered in this tournament, so it's only fitting you earn this spot.

"You hear that Kakashi!" Naruto shouted as he pointed at the supposedly named Kakahi. "You owe me a treat to Ichiraku's Ramen!"

"Now...the first place winner is...(Y/N) (L/N)!" All Might surprised me, but he returned my surprise with his signature smile. "Young (Y/N), you prioritized saving Charlotte over fighting Laura, and you managed to do so with careful planning. You showed not only strength, but the embodiment of what a hero should be!"

"Thank you." I thanked the pro-hero with a light bow before walking up to the podium.

After the announcements, the three of us walked onto our respective parts of the podium. I simply stood on the top podium with my hands in my pockets, getting kind of nervous thanks to all eyes being on me. I looked to my right to see All Might placing a bronze medal around Ichigo's neck, followed by a silver medal around Naruto's, and finally, a gold medal around my own neck.

"So Young (Y/N), any words you'd like to share with the audience?" All Might handed a microphone to me, and I knew exactly what to say and gratefully took the microphone.

"Indeed I do, thank you." I then proceeded to take off my [Pip-Boy] before balling my hand into a fist and raising my hand into the sky with the back of my hand facing forwards. "The Seven Deadly Sins are back, and I'm the Dragon Sin of Wrath! (Y/N) (L/N)!"

(A/N: Thank gods that the tournament arc is finally over! I hated this arc so much! Now I know what you're thinking, what about the fight with Todoroki and Rin? Well the answer is...they would've been too short. Todoroki using ice against someone who controls ALL FORMS OF WATER? Rin, who uses a METAL stratos with no barriers against someone who can control LIGHTNING. Plus I'm pretty sure everyone hated this arc, myself included, so I finished it up now. So now it's time for the Riser bullshit!
