Unexpected

"Since both the losers of the third round did their best to get here! We decided to let them have one more chance! The two will be battling for the extra spot in the final match!"

Shiro Kurayami versus Fumikage Tokoyami

"W-what..."

"We'll be getting the final top three after the break everyone!"

-x- Third Person View -x-

"And we are back folks! It's time to determine the last one to make it to the final round!" The crowds within the stands all cheer and scream, the atmosphere as lively as ever as they await for the next battle to commence.

"Which of these two will make it in?! It's Shiro Kurayami versus Fumikage Tokoyami!" From the two ends of the arena, both of the students walk out, their faces holding serious expressions as they head towards the middle.

"And start!" The sound of the horn blared, the two students charging almost instantly at each other.

"Dark Shadow!" The crow-headed boy called, his Quirk activating as the entity known as 'Dark Shadow' loomed next to him, aiming a claw towards the female.

"Not so fast!" Jumping, Kurayami then does an aerial flip and avoids the claw of Dark Shadow, a smirk on her lips as she lands onto the ground once again and continues to advance toward the male.

As if on instinct, Dark Shadow then retracts back to his owner, shielding him from any possible harm that might come as Kurayami jumps and lands a kick at the head of the shadow, where it could have possibly hit Tokoyami head-on.

"Are you alright, Dark Shadow?!" Tokoyami exclaimed, looking at the pain filled face of his companion as the latter nodded slightly, his glowing yellow eyes merely looking at the girl in front of them in fear and confusion.

"I... I'ts too bright..." Dark Shadow muttered, his form shrinking smaller as his owner stood with wide eyes in shock, not knowing the reason behind the weakening of his Quirk.

"Dark Shadow...!" He called, trying to get him back up while the bi-coloured female took this chance to attack.

Sliding to the ground, Kurayami swipes her right foot under his feet, tripping him as he fell onto the ground, not expecting the sudden attack from his opponent.

"It seems Dark Shadow's out of it after so many fights." Kurayami said, getting up as she looks down at the male, seeing his distressed expression, his Quirk quivering at his side.

"What are you gonna do now?" Smirking, she walks towards his figure, a sudden movement causing her to jump back as she checked her stomach, seeing a cut across it as blood seeped form the opening.

"Dark Shadow..." The said entity stood, his claws up as he continued to protect his master.

"Man, he's really loyal to you, huh Tokoyami-kun?" Kurayami hummed, walking closer to the two as they move backward, away from her as she continues to inch closer and push them back.

'How is this possible? Dark Shadow shouldn't be affected by the sun this much. He wasn't this weak before and it hasn't gotten any sunnier...' Tokoyami thought, his eyes glaring at his opponent as he walks backward, stopping as he sees to edge.

"End of the line now." Hearing her words, Tokoyami looks from left to right, seeing that he had inched towards the corner of the ring, Kurayami blocking is only path as Dark Shadow tried to shield him from her.

"Such an unfaithful outcome." Sighing, he takes one more step backward, his feet going across the line as a crack of a whip was heard.

"Tokoyami is out of bounds! Kurayami advances to the final three!" Cheers shake the whole stadium, the two opponents shaking hand in respect before leaving their own ways.

"Dark Shadow, are you alright now?" The boy asked, glancing at his companion beside him as the latter nodded, growing back to his original size.

"Yeah, I dunno what happened. But I know for sure that something bright was in front of me the whole time!"

-x- Shiro's View -x-

"At last, we've arrived! The best of the best among U.A.'s first years will be decided!" Present Mic yelled, the yells from the crowds numbing my ears as I step out, on both side I see Todoroki and Bakugo as well, the three of us making our way into the ring.

"It's the final match! Todoroki versus Bakugo versus Kurayami! The first one that passes out of leave the ring gains third place and the last gets first!" Glancing at the two in front of me, I inwardly smirk, seeing their glares toward one another as they completely ignore my presence.

"Now start!" From that, I jump back, already knowing that these two would be up each other's throats at the start as a giant glacier of ice instantly shoots out towards Bakugo.

"The gauntlet's been thrown down! Looks like Todoroki wants to avoid close combat with Bakugo! Do we already have our winner?!" Present Mic commented, totally forgetting about me being in the final match as well while I look toward the ice, seeing the light inside.

The sudden explosion blocks my vision for a moment, Bakugo escaping from the ice glacier while the two continue to battle one another, again ignoring me.

"Seriously...?" I grumbled, feeling left out as I sigh, standing by the side to await for the perfect opportunity to wedge myself into the battle.

"There's no point in winning against some half-assed punk! No point if i can't do better than Deku! So if you're trying to win, get the hell outta my face!" Seeing the obvious rage in Bakugo eyes, I take this as my cue and make a dash between the two.

"Why're you even here you bastard?!" Jumping off from the ground, Bakugo starts to spin with the help of his Quirk, going at full throttle towards Todoroki as I come in front of him, my palms out directed at the blonde.

"Aegis Shield!" A bright light emits from my palms, a circular panel of gold and white blocking the force of the attack just in time as I felt growing flames from behind me, the shield fading as the explosion die down.

The sudden heat waves from the explosion got to me, two circular grey pieces falling from my face and burning as they fall to the floor, the contact lens burnt to nothing more than ash.

"OOH! What's this?!" Present Mic's voice was filled with excitement, the crowd going silent as they try to look at the final result of the battle.

"Hey Katsuki. Bet you waited long enough already, huh? Guess I'm done hiding." I smirked, the smoke subsiding as I watch the blonde glare at me, a menacing smirk on his face as his palms ignited in sparks.

"So you finally showing yourself, you coward...?" He growled, making me chuckle as dark matter gather in my right hand, swirling around my arm as it pulsed with energy.

"Shiro?" The sudden voice of Todoroki made me look over my shoulder, seeing his shocked and confused expression staring right back at me.

"Sorry for keeping this from you Shoto." I said, my smirk dropping into a smile briefly, turning back and walking a few paces, stopping right in the middle of the two as I turned sideways, glancing at the two of them.

"Secret's out, fellas. Kind of unexpected, huh?"
