Somewhere on the field, Mineta whispers under Shoji's arms. He was upset that his headband was stolen.

"You know, usually I wouldn't team up you with you," Asui admits  "but this was a good plan. So, I'm not sure how you lost your headband."

"Where the heck did it go?!" Mineta asked in worry before getting serious. "This just means there's nothing left to lose! Shoji, full-on attack mode!"

Shoji nodded and does as he was told. He takes his arms away from Mineta and Asui, and rushed towards Team Todoroki and Team Midoriya.

"We'll use all the power we have at our disposal to steal the points from those two teams!" Mineta declares.

Meanwhile, at those two said teams, they were standing off against each other. This was the match that was secretly wanted by Fourarms, mainly because his cousin was in it. Team Todoroki vs. Team Midoriya.

Fourarms grins. "So it seems we're in a bit of a pickle here."

"The game only halfway over," Midoriya states. "We have to do this now!"

"Now, Iida," Todoroki tells his front horse. "Forward!"

"Right!" Iida nodded and jetted forward with his speed.

Thanks to Gwen, she and Kaminari were standing on small footholds made of energy so they could easily go with Iida's speed.

"L/n, be ready to protect us," the son of Endeavor orders.

"On it," Gwen said as her eyes glowed pink. "And I thought I said to call me Gwen! I don't want people to confuse me for my dweeb of a cousin!"

Todoroki ignored his teammate. "Kaminari--"

"Oh, I know what I gotta do," Kaminari grinned.

Midoriya slowly began to worry. However, he noticed other teams charging in from different angles.

"Everyone, eyes up! It's not just Todoroki," Midoriya informs. "Everyone's after us!"

"What's new?" Fourarms asks.

"I hope you made something strong, Gwen!" Kaminari says as he begins to spark.

Gwen only smirks as she makes a pink barrier around her, Todoroki, and Iida. However, Kaminari didn't get one as he let loose his Quirk.

"Indiscriminate shock! 1.3 million volts!"

The entire field suddenly was covered with powerful electricity. It electrocuted the nearby teams going of Team Midoriya. Even Fourarms yelled out in pain as he took the brunt of Kaminari's attack. Then the electricity stops and Gwen drops the barriers. She then makes a pole of energy that struck the ground.

"Only six minutes left," Todoroki says. "It's time to make a move."

The dual-haired teenager placed a hand on the pole made by Gwen and used his Quirk. He covers most of the field in ice and froze teams in place. All except for Team Midoriya.

"WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT! HE'S STOPPED ALL THOSE TEAMS COLD IN THEIR TRACKS!" Present Mic announced.

"But only after Kaminari had immobilized the students using his electricity," Erasure Head states. "In the obstacle course, Todoroki was surprised by how many people avoided his attack. He's adapting his strategy."

"NICE COMMENTARY!"

One of the Class 1B students watch in shock as Todoroki takes her headbands.

"I might as well take these," the dual-haired boy says.

"H-hey! Come back!" the orange-haired girl growls.

A giant ice wall suddenly erupted around Team Midoriya and Team Todoroki. Midoriya then noticed noticed Fourarms was still in pain.

"L/n, are you okay?" he asks.

"I-I'm fine..." Fourarms lets out a shaky breath. "Guess I'm p-pretty tough ag-gainst anything but electr-tricity..."

"Is your watch okay?!" Hatsume asked in fear.

"Guys, they're comin' in pretty fast!" Uraraka informs her team. "We can't run away in time!"

"I-I got this!" Fourarms exclaims.

The transformed teenager rushed forward and threw a fist at Todoroki. However, Gwen reacted in time to create a shield that blocked the attack.

"Nice try, dweeb," she smirks.

"Shut it, dorkerina!" Fourarm growls.

He then begins to back away from his enemy team.

"L/n, you know her?" Midoriya asked his teammate.

"She's my cousin, Gwen," Fourarms says. "Her Quirk is pretty strong, but she mainly uses it for defense. Kaminari is the one we should be afraid of in this fight."

"Right," Hatsume says. "You couldn't move for a moment earlier, couldn't you?"

"I'm usually durable as Fourarms, but I guess electricity isn't something I can take well," the transformed Y/n informs. "This is gonna sound weird coming from me, but we're gonna have to be careful."

"That makes Kaminari a big problem then!" Midoriya exclaims.

"L/n, watch out!" Uraraka warns.

Fourarms looks behind him and stops. He was at the edge of the field boundaries. If if wasn't for the brunette, he would've crossed it.

"Thanks, Uraraka," Fourarms tells his teammate.

"No problem!" the brunette smiles.

"TEAM MIDORIYA HAS NOWHERE LEFT TO RUN!" the Voice Hero states.

Midoriya looked behind him at the boundary line and then forward at the approaching Team Todoroki. He quickly started getting an idea.

"You said that Kaminari is dangerous to you, but they have no idea, right?" Midoriya asks Fourarms.

"No," the alien shook his head. "This is news to me as much as it is to you."

"Okay, good deal. We can use that," Midoriya states. "We just have to make sure we don't lose these ten million, no matter what!"

Meanwhile, Katsuki was still pissed off about what Monoma was telling him. Kirishima tried to calm him down, but it didn't work.

"Calm down? I am calm! Can't you tell?" Bakugou makes small explosions from his palms. "Now get after them, Kirishima!"

"Please don't make us regret this," Kirishima tells his rider.

He, Ashido, and Sero all then charge forward at Team Monoma.

"YOU THINK YOU'RE TOUGH?!" he asks the blonde. "DIIIEEE!!!"

Bakugou thrusts his arm at Monoma to fire an explosion. However, the 1B student simply moved his opponent's arm to the side to redirect the attack. Bakugou growled as he went for another attack, only for his own explosions to hit him right in the face.

"Huh. Wow. I see why you like this Quirk!" Monoma laughs and slaps Kirishima's hair.

"My power...!" Bakugou shook his head.

"Whoa, weird!" Kirishima says. "That guy has your Quirk!"

Bakugou growls. "Dammit!"

He fires another explosion at Monoma. However, when the smoke clears, he could be seen blocking it with hardened skin. He had taken Kirishima's Quirk this time.

"You both have impressive powers," he says. "But I think you'll agree mine's better."

Bakugou gasps in shock as Team Monoma backed away.

"Huh? What? Mine, too?" Kirishima questioned.

"Bastard," Bakugou growled. "His Quirk allows him to copy other powers."

"Very good, Bakugou," Monoma smiles. "Does the angry pomeranian want a treat now?"

"THE FUCK DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!"

Team Bakugou attempted to charge forward, only for a nearby team of 1B students to stop them. A wall of white goo was shot at them, keeping them in place.

"Nice one," Monoma turned to his classmates. "Thanks for the help, Bondo."

"Monoma!" the blonde's teammate gets his leader's attention. "If we keep those headbands, we're good. As long as no one gets near us, we'll make our class proud."

Team Monoma then ran off. However, Bakugou wasn't done with them.

"Stop them!" he orders.

"It's too sticky!" Bakugou looked down to see Kirishima stuck. "Crap! I can't move!"

"I'll melt this gunk with my Quirk!" Ashido declares as she places her foot on the gunk.

She secretes acid through her feet and begins to melt the sticky substance.

"Well hurry!" Sero tells his classmate. "We're sitting at zero points now!"

Bakugou trembled with anger as he watched his prey get away.

"Oh, hey. No hard feelings, right? You are the one who provoked us," Monoma turns to Team Bakugou again. "What was it you said earlier? Uh... Oh, right! Oof."

The ash blonde begins to growl with anger as he recalled his promise earlier that day.

'This isn't over... I'm still gonna come out on top!' Bakugou tells himself. 'And I won't just make it to first place. I'll be the undeniable champion!'

The crowd roars again as we go back to the ice enclosed area of the field. Inside of it was Team Todoroki and the cornered Team Midoriya.

"TODOROKI HAS CORNERED THE TEN-MILLION-POINT TEAM AND IS POISED TO SEIZE THE ULTIMATE PRIZE!" Present Mic states. "AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD HAVE PREDICTED FIVE MINUTES AGO!"

The Voice Hero laughs as Fourarms, steadily shaking from pain, made sure to keep his distance from Team Todoroki. He couldn't let them steal his team's points.

"UNBELIEVABLY, TEAM MIDORIYA HAS BEEN ABLE TO KEEP AWAY FROM THE ICE MASTER FOR THE LAST HALF OF THE GAME ALL THANKS TO Y/N L/N!" Present Mic goes on.

Team Todoroki go to approach Team Midoriya. However, Fourarms grunts as he slams two fists into the ground to make a shockwave. Also, by advice of Midoriya, the transformed teen made sure to stay on Todoroki's left side. Something about the recommendation student's dual Quirk and that he'll have to freeze his team if he wanted to use it. And since he's refused to use his fire so far, it was the best strategy. Todoroki wouldn't be able to get a shot in.

"I'm not... done yet..." Kaminari states weakly, his eye twitching.

Todoroki stood still as he tried to think up of a plan. However, Iida seemed to have one.

"Everyone. We have less than sixty seconds left," he states. "I'm gonna do something that will make me useless to you, but it's worth it."

"What're you gonna do?" Todoroki asked his front horse.

Iida got into a running position. "Make sure you get that headband. Brace yourselves. Hold on tight!"

The sound of an engine whirring up is heard as Fourarms watches Team Todoroki carefully. He was sure they were up to something, so he had to be ready.

"Guys, keep your guard up," he tells his team.

"Torque over!" Iida yelled as his engine spewed out blue flame. "Recipro... BURST!"

Team Todoroki suddenly shot forward like a bullet. Then Iida jumped into the air to air to vault over Fourarms as Todoroki reached his hand out to take Midoriya's ten million points. However...

*BEEP!*
*BEEP!*
*FWAASSH!*

A red light engulfed the team and Y/n reverted to normal, making Todoroki miss his target. As himself, the shapeshifter was carrying all of his teammates on his back as his legs shook weakly. His body was covered in scorch marks from being electrocuted multiple times.

"No way..." Iida looked on in disbelief as he skidded to a stop. "I was... too slow?"

"Dammit...!" Todoroki grunted in anger.

"WHA-HOHO! WHAT JUST HAPPENED?THAT WAS ONE BIG BLUR!" Present Mic was shocked. "BUT THAT INSANE SPEED DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK! IT SEEMS Y/N L/N RETURNED TO NORMAL BEFORE TODOROKI COUKD SNATCH THE HEADBAND! HOLY SMOKES, FOLKS!"

"Phew! That was a close one," Uraraka said.

"Yeah, definitely," Midoriya nodded and then looked down at Y/n's trembling figure. "Uh, L/n? Are you okay?"

"Get... off... my... back..." he muttered out.

"Oh! Right!" the three said and dropped from Y/n's back.

Hatsume and Uraraka returned as the side wings as they and Y/n went back to carrying Midoriya normally. Todoroki looked at his front horse in shock.

"Iida, what was that?" he asked.

"I forced my torque and RPM into overdrive, which gave me explosive amounts of power for ten seconds," Iida states. "But... I can't believe I wasn't fast enough to get the points."

"No, you did well, Iida!" Gwen assured her teammate. "With my cousin back to normal, we can just speed over to them and nag the headband."

"I commend you for your optimism, L/n, but that won't be possible," the speedster states. "The recoil for my Recipro Burst stalls my engines for a while. Like I said earlier, I'm no use to you."

"That doesn't matter! We can still try one more time!" Todoroki declared.

"Right!" Gwen nodded. "Let me get rid of these footholds so we can get some extra speed."

Like she said she would, Gwen got rid of the pink energy platforms from her and Kaminari's feet. They both land on the ground and turn to face the newly delivered Team Midoriya.

"I told you I'd crush you, dweeb!" the redhead told her cousin.

"I am so not in the mood for this, geek..." Y/n replied.

"Let's go!" Todoroki ordered.

His teammates nodded and ran forward for one more try to nab the ten million points. Midoriya gasped in shock and instinctively activated his Quirk in his arm. Y/n suddenly felt his hair raise on end and looked up at his rider to see the greenette's arm glowing with some faint energy. The pressure from it was insane!

Todoroki looked on in shock as his team approached Midoriya's. So, without thinking, he raised his left arm and covered it in fire to perhaps scare Midoriya to step down. However, the 1A student with green hair didn't back down as he swung his superpowerwd arm through the air, extinguishing his opponent's flames.

"What the...?"

Meanwhile, Team Monoma looked up at the leaderboard and Monoma smirked.

"Second place. Not bad," the leader smiles. "We've done pretty well. Now, we can let the clock run out."

"LOSERS!" Bakugou's voice called out. "GET BACK HERE!"

Monoma groans. "Doesn't he ever give up? Knowing you've been bested is an important part of being a Hero."

He turns to Bakugou as he says this, only to go wide-eyed when he sees the ash blonde rocket through the air.

"Hey, just don't fly off on your own!" Kirishima tells his team leader.

"Tshburaba! Stop him!" Monoma orders his classmate.

Said brunette took in a deep breath and blew it out, forming an invisible barrier with it. Bakugou slammed into it and glared at Team Monoma through it.

"Alright," Tsuburaba smirked.

Bakugou began punching the wall in an attempt to break it. Tsuburaba insults him by calling him stupid for fighting with air, and Team Monoma turned away. However, with a mighty yell, Bakugou punches through the solid air and grabbed onto the headbands Monoma had around his neck. He then pulled them off and jumped away.

"Crap! He got some of them!" Neito announced.

Sero snatched his team leader back to his teammates with his tape.

"TEAM BAKUGOU NABS TWO HEADBANDS AND MOVES INTO THIRD PLACE!" the stands cheer as Present Mic spoke. "THE FINAL MOMENTS OF THE GAME HAVE BEEN FULL OF SHAKEUPS! OH, TO BE YOUNG AGAIN!"

"I told you to warn us before you jump!" Sero berates Bakugou.

"Whatever, this means we're advancing," Kirishima states.

"WE'RE NOT DONE!" Bakugou exclaimed as he hit his front horse's head.

"Huh?" Sero questioned.

"We're gonna be the indisputable champions of the game!" Bakugou announces with determined anger. "I couldn't brace myself earlier when I jumped. Get closer! We're gonna get all our points back from that idiot, and then go for the big one!"

"Do it!" Sero cheered his leader on.

"Elbow guy, tape 'im!" Bakugou moved his leg out of Sero's aim.

"My name's Sero!" he shot a tape that "missed" Monoma.

He laughed. "You missed!"

"Raccoon eyes!" Bakugou called out to Ashido. "Lay down some acid in the direction we're going."

"It's Mina Ashido!" the horned girl declares as she shoots acid from her palm.

With that, Sero pulled at his tape as Ashido fired acid and Bakugou fired two explosions behind him, creating a crazy makeshift slip-and-slide for Team Bakugou. And before Monoma could react, they had passed him and Bakugou snagged the rest of his points.

"BAKUGOU IS A MERCILESS FORCE!" Present Mic declares. "WHAT A POINT HOG! THAT WAS A SHIELD BREAK HARD 'ROUND THE ARENA, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THE REPLAY!"

The explosive teenager looked up at the leaderboard to see that his team was still in third place. Right underneath Team Todoroki.

"Now! We're going after Deku and Todoroki," Bakugou states.

Back with the said two teams, Todoroki looked on in shock at his left arm. The flames were dissipating, and Team Midoriya had backed away from Team Todoroki to keep their headband safe. The dual-Quirk user couldn't help but stare at his arm. Was he really about to use his old man's fire?

"Haha! We're doing it!" Midoriya exclaims.

"WITH ONLY ELEVEN SECONDS LEFT, TEAM MIDORIYA HAS FOUND A WAY TO STAY IN THE TOP!" the UA English teacher announces.

"Dammit! They got away!" Gwen said.

"THE GAME IS ALMOST OVER! TIME FOR A COUNTDOWN!"

The big TV screen showed a countdown from ten seconds which steadily went down. One of the walls of ice made bt Todoroki were suddenly blown apart and Bakugou flew out in the air.

"Deku!" he called out to Midoriya.

"Bakugou!" Kirishima called out to his classmate.

"L/n! Uraraka! Hatsume!" Midoriya called out to his teammates.

"Let's do this!" Uraraka exclaimed.

"Bring it on!" Y/n yelled.

Team Midoriya all prepared for the full frontal assault from both Bakugou and Team Todoroki. They aimed for the ten million. And the wouldn't stop for nothing!

"TIME'S UP!" Present Mic announced.

Bakugou looks on in shock and he falls flat on his face. The crowd cheers.

"AND WITH THAT, THE SECOND ROUND IS OFFICIALLY OVER!" Present Mic stated.

Bakugou's team ran up to help him, but the ash blonde only let out an angry angry. Todoroki hopped off his teammates and onto the ground as he berated himself for losing. Midoriya got put back down on the ground as he thanked his team for all their help.

"NOW, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHO OUR TOP FOUR TEAMS ARE!" Present Mic said. "IN FOURTH PLACE, IT'S TEAM TETSUTE-- WAIT, WHAT? IT'S TEAM SHINSO? WHEN DID THEY GET HERE?"

Shinso smirked as his teammates all looked around in confusion. He thanked them for their help.

"Way to go, Braindrain," Y/n chuckled.

"IN THIRD PLACE, IT'S TEAM BAKUGOU!"

Ashido groans. "We were so close to first place."

"Yeah, sure," Sero shrugs. "But we're movin' on, so it's all good."

"I don't think our team leader would agree," Kirishima states.

Bakugou lets out an angry scream.

"IN SECOND PLACE, TEAM TODOROKI!"

"Man, what a bummer," Gwen sighed as she crossed her arms. "We didn't get first place."

"I'm sorry, everyone!" Iida apologized. "If I had been faster, L/n's transformation would've happened after we got the ten million."

"Hey, hey, don't kick yourself in the butt about it," Gwen said. "You did great. That dweebazoid is the one to blame."

Midoriya then realized what this meant. Was his team really...?

"AND IN FIRST PLACE, IT'S TEAM MIDORIYA!"

Midoriya immediately teared up and started crying, shooting tears from his eyes like geysers. The force of it sent him down to his knees, cracking the ground from the impact. Y/n laughed and cheered as Uraraka and Hatsume joined in.

"THESE FOUR VALIANT TEAMS WILL ADVANCE ON TO THE FINAL ROUND!"

"Hahahaha!" Y/n laughed. "I think I need to see Recovery Girl! Ow...!"

"NOW, LET'S TAKE AN HOUR LUNCH BREAK BEFORE WE START THE AFTERNOON FESTIVITIES! SEE YA SOON!" Present Mic said. "HEY, ERASURE HEAD. LET'S GRAB SOME FOOD."

"I'm taking a nap," Erasure Head states.

●●●

With Y/n, he was with Shinso. They had decided to grab some food together and were walking to the cafeteria to get some. However, they were stopped when a familiar brunette called out to them.

"Hey, L/n! Wait up!"

Y/n and Shinso turn to see Uraraka and Iida approaching them. Y/n smiles when he sees his former teammate.

"Yo, Uraraka!" the alien watch bearer waves at the brunette. "What's up?"

"I just wanted to see if you've seen Deku," Uraraka says. "He just up and vanished."

"No, I haven't seen him," Y/n shook his head.

"Alright," Uraraka nods. "Thanks."

"And, uh, hey. Iida, right?" Y/n turned to 1A's speedster. "Sorry about the whole second place thing. If I hadn't timed out, you guys would've won, I bet! That was some crazy speed."

"No, it's my fault for not utilizing my Recipro Burst earlier, but thank you," Iida states. "You are Y/n L/n, yes? Gwen's cousin?"

"Yeah, that's me," Y/n smiled. "And this is my pal, Hitoshi Shinso."

"Hey," Shinso greeted the two.

"It's a pleasure to meet you two," Iida tells the General Studies students with a stiff hand. "I look forward to facing you in the next round!"

"Same here," Shinso grinned eagerly.

"Hey, if you guys are done with him," a familiar voice said, "think I can have a word with the dweeb?"

The four turned to see Gwen walking up to them. Her cousin groaned.

"Yeah, yeah, give me a minute," Y/n turned to Shinso and the 1A students. "I'll see ya around. Gotta... catch up with my cousin."

They all said goodbye to each other and Y/n left with his cousin. Shinso watched a little longer than Uraraka and Iida, but he eventually turned around and walked to the cafeteria.

With the two L/n cousins, they're seen standing together in an empty hallway. Gwen leaned on one side and Y/n leaned on the other. She had her eyes narrowed at her cousin.

"So... here we are," Y/n said.

"Yeah," Gwen nodded. "Now spill it."

Yeah, sorry this chapter was short. Hope you enjoyed it anyways. Next time, you dive a little deeper into the mind of the boy who wasn't born with everything. Buh-bye!
