In the temporary home for the L/n Family, M/n was sitting on the couch as the TV showed the UA Sports Festival onscreen. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She knows that she's watched it before countless times with Y/n, but seeing her own son participate in it made her worry. But she trusted her little boy. She knew that, if Y/n was anything like his father, he would pull through.

"THE FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS ARE ALREADY OFF TO A RACING START! AND IT'S ONLY THE FIRST ROUND!" Present Mic announces. "TALK ABOUT A CRUEL COURSE! OUR PLAYERS ARE RACING AGAINST EACH OTHER IN A VICIOUS BATTLE WHERE ALL GOES AS LONG AS THEY STAY IN THE BOUNDARIES!"

"Watch it," a man wrapped in bandages dodges his fellow commentator's arm.

"WE'LL CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU LIVE UPDATES AND PULSE-POUNDING ACTION THANKS TO THE CAMERA ROBOTS PLACED AROUND THE COURSE!"

"Why do you need me here?" the full-body bandaged man asks.

"THE STAKES ARE HIGH! WE'VE GOT A WHOLE SCHOOL OF TOP-NOTCH STUDENTS TRYING TO BE HEROES," Present Mic says, "BUT DO THEY REALLY STAND A CHANCE AGAINST OUR HEAVY METAL SWARM OF ROBO-INFERNOS?"

All the first-year students watch as Shoto Todoroki takes an early lead ahead of them. However, they were also freaked out that some students got smashed by the falling metal debris.

"Hey, some guys are trapped under there!"

"Are people serious gonna die here?"

"Jesus Christ, am I happy I wasn't over there," Cannonbolt mumbles.

The frozen metal suddenly erupts, a redheaded student emerging with rock-hard arms and face.

"Holy shit, he's alive!" Cannonbolt declares in shock.

"I'M ALIVE!" the redhead declares.

"KIRISHIMA FROM CLASS 1A! WHAT A HARDCORE DEBUT FROM THIS ROOKIE!"

"If I was anyone else, I'd be dead!" Kirishima states.

"Class 1A really is full a' jerks!"

The frozen metal next to Kirishima suddenly erupts, with Tetsutestsu emerging with his body like iron.

"Holy shit, he's alive!" Cannonbolt declares in shock.

"HELL YEAH, I'M ALIVE!" the iron man declares. "I'm gonna demolish that icy bastard when I get my hands on him!"

"TETSUTESTSU FROM CLASS 1B WAS ALSO STUCK UNDERNEATH! WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!"

"Ya know, if I was anyone else, I'd be dead!" Tetsutestsu states.

Kirishima started running forward. "Our Quirks are basically the same! How am I gonna stand out now?"

"Damn copycat!" Tetsutestsu yelled at the redhead.

"Man, how lucky are they?" the electric blonde says. "They don't have to worry about being crushed!"

"We're facing each other, but let's team up for now," a random student says. "Let's carve a path."

Cannonbolt ran forward a bit, although clumsily but without falling, before hearing an explosion. He looks up to see Bakugou flying upwards and above one of the Zero-Pointers. The guy with the raven head and the guy with the large elbows followed after him witn their Quirks. They all earned a commentary from Present Mic.

"Dammit... I can't let those 1A guys show me up!" Cannobolt exclaimed. "Time to rock and roll!"

He suddenly leaped forward and rolled into a giant ball. The large alien sped forward and past his fellow first-years, careful not to hit anyone in his way. He bashed through the smaller robots with ease, making the nearby students look on in shock.

"Dude, do you see that?"

"Wasn't that L/n from General Studies?"

"Dude, how come he told no one about this? His Quirk is crazy!"

Cannonbolt smirked in his ball form as he sped by the robots. He then quickly exited his sphere, allowing him to jump upwards and towards one of the Zero-Pointers. When he got close enough, the clumsy alien spun into a ball again and generated enough speed and momentum to roll up on the giant robot.

"WHOA! HEY, HEY! WHAT'S THIS?!" Present Mic asked. "ONE OF THE FIRST-YEARS IS CLIMBING A ZERO-POINTER! BUT HE ISN'T ANYONE I RECOGNIZE!"

"His name is Y/n L/n from the General Studies Course," the tired voice says.

"GENERAL STUDIES? WITH THAT COOL QUIRK OF HIS, WHY ISN'T HE IN THE HERO COURSE?!" Present Mic asked.

Cannonbolt made it to the head of the Zero-Pointer and sped right through its head. He shot through it like a bullet, taking it down as he flew up into the air.

"Two reasons. One, even if he could've qualified, L/n may not have been able to join," the man wrapped in bandages states as he looks at some papers. "And two... their was a mix-up in his papers saying that he was Quirkless apparently. Some irrational person must've messed up their job."

Cannonbol uncurled himself from a ball and turned back to look at his fellow first-years. He then smirked as he did some stupid pose that made Shinso snicker. The large alien then rolled into a ball again and fell down towards the ground as the defeated Zero-Pointer fell to the ground. When he landed, he continued rolling forward after the Class 1A students.

'Swiggity, swoogity, I'm comin' for that booty!' Cannonbolt joked in his head.

Behind him, other students were taking down robots either by sheer power or with strategy and wits. Even the girl with the ponytail created a cannon that shot down some of the remaining Zero-Pointers. This allowed the others to run forward and continue the obstacle race.

"FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THOUGHT THAT THE FIRST OBSTACLE WAS EASY... LET'S SEE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THE SECOND ONE!" Present Mic announced.

As the students come across the second obstacle, they all stopped as they looked upon the huge gorge in front of them. Pillar platforms were laid about in between each end of it which were connected by metal cords. Cannonbolt looked down and around in surprise.

"Aw, man..." he said.

"IF THEY WANNA GET PASS THIS TEST, THEY'LL HAVE TO GET CREATIVE!" the Pro Hero declares. "IT'S THE FALL!"

"When did have time to make all of this?" 1A's brunette asks.

Cannonbolt examined the giant gorge in front of him before seeing a girl with long green hair leap forward. She lands on one of the metal cords and clings to it. She begins to crawl forward like some kind of frog or lizard.

"Oh, damn," Cannonbolt said. "That was kinda cool. Wait, did she just say 'ribbit'?"

Cannonbolt shook his head as other students soon passed him and made their way across The Fall. However, the transformed teenager couldn't figure out a way to pass the obstacle. Then he begun to realize what he was seeing.

"Wait a minute... this looks just like some of the platforming levels in Sumo Slammers!" Cannonbolt declared with a grin. "I'm the king at these games! I can do this."

He turned and curled into a ball and sped away. This confused the students he passed. But then he turned in a large arc and sped forward towards The Fall.

"Wait, is he seriously--?!"

"Hey, man, stop!"

Cannonbolt didn't listen as he rolled forward as fast as he could. He then unfurled from a sphere and leapt forward when he made it to the edge of the gorge's beginning. Everyone that was still behind look on at him in shock as he sailed through the air and towards the first platform. However, before he landed, he spun into a ball again and landed on the platform. He rolled forward and sped over the surprisingly sturdy cords, and it was all thanks to Cannonbolt's amazing balance in his sphere form. He may be clumsy on his two legs, but he's amazing as he rolls.

"Hey, hey! L/n!" a familiar female voice called out to the General Studies student. "That was a pretty cool trick! Was that your Quirk you told me about?"

Cannonbolt started to sweat as he rolled. 'Why do I feel like that's Hatsume? Why am I scared?'

Nearby at the beginning of The Fall, Shinso watched his friend speed forward. He smiled.

"Good going, Dial-Up," he chuckles a bit. "But I ain't letting you beat me that easily."

Shinso then ran forward to pass The Fall.

"IN A WORLD OF HEROES, IT'S HARD TO GET POPULAR WITHOUT A FLASHY QUIRK!" Present Mic turns to his fellow teacher. "RIGHT, ERASURE HEAD?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, idiot," said Pro Hero sounded agitated.

"ANYWAYS, IT LOOKS LIKE TODOROKI IS STILL SKATING BY EASILY!" Present Mic declared. "BUT LOOK! L/N FROM GENERAL STUDIES IS GETTING BY JUST AS EASILY!"

Todoroki, at the end of The Fall, heard this and looked back to see Cannonbolt near the end of the obstacle. He then looked up above the alien to see Bakugou rocketing towards him with explosions.

"It looks like some people are finally getting fired up," he says. "Took 'em long enough."

"YOU SUCK! ICY-HOT BASTARD!" Bakugou yelled as he shot forward.

Cannonbolt eventually made it to the end of The Fall and uncurled from a ball. He let out a breath and wiped off some of the sweat forming on his underside.

"Phew! Didn't think that would work," he tells himself.

"BOY, DOES HE LOOK FOOLISH!"

Cannonbolt looked behind him at this. There he saw the blue-haired boy with glasses from 1A pushing himself forward across a metal cord with the engines in his calves. This makes the transformed teenager snort and snicker at the sight before turning to roll forward.

"THE LEADER'S PUTTING DISTANCE BETWEEN HIM AND THE STUDENTS STUCK AT THE FALL! IT HASN'T BEEN ANNOUNCED HOW MANY COMPETITORS WILL MAKE IT THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND, SO THERE'S NO TIME TO RELAX!" Present Mic announced as Todoroki arrived at the final obstacle. "AND NOW, WE'RE FINALLH APPROACHING THE LAST OBSTACLE. EVERYONE BETTER TREAD CAREFULLY. YOU'RE STEPPING ONTO A MINEFIELD!"

Todoroki looked out onto the minefield before clicking his teeth. He slowly started to make his way forward.

"IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THOSE LITTLE BOMBS ARE BURIED, SO KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE GROUND, FOLKS!" the Voice Hero exclaims. "BY THE WAY, THOSE LANDMINS ARE DESIGNED TO BE LOUD AND FLASHY, SO THEY WON'T CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE AND INJURY. BUT THEY WILL MAKE YOU PISS YOURSELVES!"

"Get a hold of yourself," Erasure Head orders his fellow teacher.

Cannonbolt had earlier arrived at the minefield and groaned in distaste. This final obstacle wasn't going to do well with him since he was clumsy on his feet, so he had to make sure he was careful. So there he was with the other students, barely at the middle of the minefield due to his short, stocky legs that couldn't stretch very far. All around him, students were blown away left and right.

'Dammit...' he swore in his head. 'How am I gonna pass now? Shinso is gonna laugh at me!'

The sound of something beeping caught Cannonbolt's attention and he looked down at his waist. The hourglass symbol was flashing red as he stretched his leg over to step onto a safe spot. Then he was engulfed in red light, turning him back to normal as he stepped down.

"Hey! I'm me again!" Y/n declared. "This makes things easier."

Y/n started make his way forward at an easier pace. However, some explosions caught his attention and he looked to see Bakugou blasting by him with his Quirk.

"Hahaha! It's over," the ash blonde laughed before rocketing towards Todoroki. "Bastard! Your declaration of war... was to the wrong person!

Bakugou fires an explosion at his classmate who dodges. Y/n couldn't believe his eyes!

"JUST LIKE THAT, A NEW STUDENT TAKES THE LEAD! THE CROWD IS GOING CRAZY!" Present Mic declared as the stands cheered. "THERE'S NOTHING MORE THEY LOVE THAN AN UPSET! HEY, HEY, HEY! AND THE REST OF THE COMPETITORS ARE CATCHING UP, TOO!"

Y/n, finally at the midpoint, turns to see the blue-haired 1A student speeding forward. However, he was engulfed by a big blast from a landmine. The General Studies student grunted as he turned back to face the front. He had to make sure he passes on to the next game. Y/n knew he couldn't his his watch again so soon. It as recharging, and even if he could, it wouldn't be smart. He'd stay in that transformation for the next ten to fifteen minutes, and he needs that time as the right alien.

A massive explosion caught Y/n's attention and he looked behind him to see a huge link cloud erupts into the sky.

"WHAT'S WITH THAT HUGE EXPLOSION IN THE BACK?!" Present Mic asked. "THAT WAS WAY MORE POWERFUL THAN IT SHOULD BE!"

The greenette from 1A was seen rocketing forward on some kind of metal slab which he used to sail forward across the minefield. Everyone stops for a moment to watch in shock.

"INCREDIBLE! WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! WHATEVED IT WAS, IZUKU MIDORIYA FROM CLASS 1A IS SUDDENLY IN HOT PURSUIT OF FIRST PLACE!" Present Mic declared. "STRIKE THAT! THE LEAD IS HIS!"

Izuku Midoriya from Class 1A shot ahead of the two in the lead, Bakugou and Todoroki, with shocking speed. This made the two stop fighting one another and run forward to catch up with and pass Midoriya for first place again.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, HUH?!" Bakugou yelled in anger.

Todoroki also made a path of ice using his Quirk and ran forward. Y/n didn't bother to pay much attention to them, though, since he himself had to be careful about every next step. However, another explosion in front of him gains his attention and he looks to see Midoriya flying forward again after slamming the robot piece he found on the ground in between Bakugou and Todoroki. He was sent rolling across the ground, but he caught himself and started running on his feet.

"That was awesome!" Y/n stated as he ran forward.

He ran and ran as fast as he could to make it to the finish line. However, he wasn't first. That honor belonged to Izuku Midoriya, which honestly shocked both him and a few others. Todoroki and Bakugou passed the finish line not long after their classmate, and Y/n joined them not much later with a few others. The General Studies student panted as he held his hands on his knees.

"Jeez... that was something..." he breathed out.

"Good... going... Dial-Up..." Shinso said as he slowly stopped next to his friend and fell to the ground in exhaustion. "Maybe I should've worked out more over the last two weeks..."

"I think we both should've instead of just focusing on my aliens..." Y/n panted out. "But in the end... I still beat you... Braindrain."

"Shuddup..." the brainwasher grunted.

Y/n laughed a bit and offered his friend a hand up. Shinso takes it and gets pulled to his feet. They smile at each other and walk over to the stage where Midnight stood on.

"The first game for the first-years is finally over, and what a game it was!" Midnight exclaimed. "Now, let's take a quick look at the standings, shall we?"

The screen behind her lit up to show the leaderboard.

Izuku Midoriya: 1st
Shoto Todoroki: 2nd
Katsuki Bakugou: 3rd
Ibara Shiozaki: 4th
Juzo Honenuki: 5th
Tenya Iida: 6th
Y/n L/n: 7th
Hanta Sero: 8th
Ejiro Kirishima: 9th
Tetsutestsu Tetsutestsu: 10th
Mashirao Ojiro: 11th
Yosetsu Awase: 12th
Tsuyu Asui: 13th
Mezo Shoji: 14th
Rikido Sato: 15th
Gwen L/n: 16th
Ochaco Uraraka: 17th
Momo Yaoyorozu: 18th
Minoru Mineta: 19th
Mina Ashido: 20th
Koji Koda: 21st
Kyoka Jiro: 22nd
Sen Kaibara: 23rd
Kosei Tsuburaba: 24th

Y/n didn't take notice of the rest of the places after finding his placement. He was seventh baby! He couldn't believe it!

"Congrats, Dial-Up," Shinso pats his friend on the back. Then he notices the person in 16th place. 'Is that...?'

"Only the top forty-two will advance for the next round. But don't be too let down if you didn't make the cut. We've prepared other opportunities for you to shine," Midnight giggles again as she licks her lips. "Now the real fun is about to begin. The chance to fully move yourselves into the limelight! Give it your best!"

"I plan on it," Y/n said to himself.

"Now let's see what we have in store for you next. Will your wildest fantasies come to life? What could it be? The waiting is torture," Midnight cracked her whip as the screen behind her spun. It stopped at-- "Calvary battle!"

"Calvary battle?" Y/n questions. "I've never done that before."

"It's a real easy game when you can just tell everyone what to do," Shinso smirked. "But I do wonder how they'll split us up."

"Here's how it will go. The participants will form teams of two to four people as they see fit," the R-Rated Hero explains. "In theory, it's just like those little playground games. But there is one difference. Each player has been assigned a point value based on the results of the obstacle course."

"Alright," Shinso nodded. "That makes sense."

"So that means each team will have a different set amount of points," Y/n said. "Kinda like a video game."

"MAYBE YOU SHOULD SHUT UP AND LET ME EXPLAIN IT!" Midnight yelled at everyone that was talking, which wasn't just Shinso and Y/n. "Now, the point assignments go up by increments of five, starting at the bottom. For example, 42nd place is worth five points, 41st is worth ten, 40th is worth fifteen, and so son. And the point value assigned to the first place contestant is... ten million!"

Izuku Midoriya froze as he suddenly felt dozens of eyes on him. Every first-year competitor that qualified for the calvary battle looked at Midoriya with eyes like predators. The greenette felt himself beginning to sweat.

"That's right. It's survival of the fittest here, with a chance for those at the bottom to overthrow the top!" Midnight declared. "Of course, you'll hear that over and over again at UA. Show us what 'Plus Ultra' means!"

"Yeah," Shinso smirked. "It's time to go beyond."

"You said it, pal," Y/n slammed a fist into his palm.

"Now! These are the rules that you'll abide by: the game itself will last fifteen minutes."

"Individual point values will be added together to reach your team total. Everyone will know what you're worth thanks to your headbands," Midnight exclaims. "Swipe as many headbands as you can to raise to raise your team's score. Stolen headbands must be worn from the neck up. So the more you steal, the harder it'll be to manage them."

Y/n spots his friend smirking in the corner of his eye.

"And another thing! Even if your headbands does get stolen or your team falls down, you can keep playing until time's up!" the provocative Heroine states.

"It's anyone's game, then," Yaoyorozu says.

"And since there are fourty-two contestants, there'll be ten or twelve teams fighting on the field the entire time," Sato states.

"Sounds hard," Aoyama pops in.

"I totally got this," Y/n states and turns to his classmate. "You're going down, Braindrain."

"Is that a challenge, Dial-Up?" Shinso asks with a smirk.

"So, if you lose your headband at the beginning, you have more time to plan," Ashido deducts.

"I dunno, Mina," Asui says. "Maybe we should wait to see how the teams turn out before we start strategizing."

"This is going to be rough. You may use your Quirks as you see fit," Midnight continues. "But there are still rules! Make a team fall on purpose and I'll slap you with a red card. You'll be disqualified!"

The screen behind the UA teacher shows a fifteen minute timer.

"Now, you've got fifteen minutes to build your teams," she says. "Get started!"

Immediately everyone dispersed to start forming their teams. Y/n and Shinso decided not to team up since they didn't want to rely on each other, so they were enemies in the competition once more. So now the teenager with the alien watch had to decide who he had to team up with to win. But he barely knew anyone at UA except for a small handful of people, like Shinso and Hatsume and--

"Don't think too hard now, dweeb," a familiar voice said behind Y/n. "Don't want to ruin the last few brain cells you have left, now do we?"

Y/n jumped in shock and turned to see a girl with red hair and (E/C) eyes. She looked like Y/n, but with a few key differences.

"G-Gwen?! What're you doing here?!" Y/n asked his cousin.

"Urk? The hell do you mean?! I'm in the Support Course!" Gwen L/n declared. "How can you be so forgetful?!"

"Hey! I've barely seen you in school!" Y/n announced. "Don't blame me, freak!"

"Dork!" Gwen snapped back.

"Fish breath!" Y/n shot back.

The two butted heads with angry eyes. However, Gwen decided to back off and cross her arms.

"Look, there's no reason to fight right now," she states.

"What? You asking to be on my team?" Gwen's cousin asks. "No way am I having Geekzilla on my team!"

"Why you little--!" Gwen caught herself and took a breath. "No, I'm not here to join you. I'm on Todoroki's team."

"Then why are you here?" Y/n asked.

"I wanted to talk to you. About that thing on your wrist," the redhead points at the watch on her cousin. "I know now isn't the best place and time to discuss it, but I know damn well it's not some random Quirk."

"Dammit..." Y/n sighed.

"Now, I'll see you later when I crush you, dweeb," Gwen turned to walk to her team. "And don't forget that I want to talk later."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Y/n said. "And Gwen?"

The General Studies student's cousin turned to glance back at the teenager. He smiled at her.

"It's good to see you again," he states. "Even if you're a major geek."

"And you're the same pizza-face as ever," Gwen laughed and walked over to her team.

Y/n couldn't help but laugh as well. However, he realized now he'd have to explain the watch to his cousin. He groaned as he knew she wasn't going to believe him.

A hand suddenly placed itself on Y/n's arm and he turned to see who it belonged to.

"You. I want you to be my team."

●●●

Fifteen minutes have passed. Now all twelve teams have been formed and stood at the ready on the field.

"Oh, goody. It's time to get this party started," Midnight stretched a bit as she looked at the newly formed teams.

"HEY, HEY, LOOK ALIVE!" Present Mic told Erasure Head who stirred awake. "AFTER FIFTEEN MINUTES TO PICK TEAMMATES AND TALK STRATEGY, TWELVE CALVARY TEAMS ARE PREPARING TO GO HEAD-TO-HEAD!"

"I see some unexpected student combinations," Erasure Head observes.

"COME ON, EVERYONE GET YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR! IT'S TIME FOR AN ARENA-THUMPING UA BATTLE ROYAL!" Present Mic declared. "LET ME HEAR YA SCREAM!"

The stands roared with excitement. Down below, Midoriya tightened his headband of 10,000,325 points around his head and wore a jetpack on his back. Uraraka and Hatsume were on either side of him with Y/n as the front horse.

"You ready?" Midoriya asks.

"Yeah!" Uraraka nods.

"Hatsume?" Midoriya turned to the Support Course student.

Hatsume laughed in response.

"L/n?" Midoriya looked at his front horse.

"Absolutely!" Y/n nodded with a smirk.

"Then let's do this!" the 1A student exclaims with determination.

"OKAY, FIRST-YEARS! I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOUR CHOSEN TEAMS!" Present Mic declared. "NOW LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED! ONE FINAL COUNTDOWN BEFORE THE GAME STARTS! THREE!"

Katsuki Bakugou cracks his knuckles. His team consisted of Mina Ashido, Hanta Sero, and Ejiro Kirishima. "Get 'im."

"TWO!"

"He's ours," Todoroki states. His team was made up of Tenya Iida, Denki Kaminari, and Gwen L/n.

(I'm so sorry, little ones... But with fanfiction comes sacrifices...)

"ONE!"

"Begin!" Midnight called out.

Immediately, every team charged at Team Midoriya with the intent to steal the headband.

"Wanna come at us all at once?" Y/n smirked. "Come on! Bring it!"

"This is it," Uraraka says. "What do we do, Deku?"

"That's easy," Midoriya states. "We run!"

"I don't think so!" Tetsutestsu yelled.

"Yeah!" Juzo Honenuki said as he slammed his foot into the ground.

The ground beneath Team Midoriya's feet suddenly became soft and they suddenly began to sink into it. They began to panic.

"Midoriya, I got this!" Y/n says. "Lemme just--"

"Not yet! We need you to transform at just the right time," Midoriya tells the General Studies student. "Uraraka! Hatsume! Watch your faces!"

The two moved their heads to the side and the greenette clicked a button that connected to his jetpack. It suddenly activated and set the team of four high into the air, out of the reach of the other teams.

"He flew?!" Tetsutestsu questioned. "Damn Support Course!"

"Jiro, now!" Toru Hagakure ordered her teammate.

"I got it!" Kyoka Jiro said.

She sent her earphone jacks straight towards Tean Midoriya. The rider of the team spotted this and turned to his front horse.

"L/n!"

"I got it!"

Swiftly, and without breaking the team formation, Y/n activated his watch and slammed it down. A flash of green surrounds the team, blinding them as the General Studies student transforms. Jiro's earphone jacks are then swatted away by two huge red arms.

"What the--?!" the 1A student questioned as everyone looked up.

The light dies down to reveal a massive red alien with four orange eyes, a mustache, and a goatee on his face. Four muscular arms were attached to his torso, black fingerless gloves on his lower two arms and armored black sleeves on his upper two arms connected to a white shirt and black pants. The alien transformation wore some kind of golden belt that was the same as the strap around his torso. The hourglass symbol lied on metal plating on the alien's upper left shoulder.

"FOURARMS!"

(Art by Fiqllency on DeviantArt. Credit to them)

"Come on! Who wants to tussle with the muscle?!" Fourarms asks as he basically carried Team Midoriya with his huge size.

"Whoa! That's so cool!" Midoriya gushes. "You call this guy Fourarms?"

"Yep!" Fourarms smirks. "Though while XLR8 would've been a possibly better choice, this guy will do as well!"

"Your so big, L/n!" Uraraka beams. "I bet you could carry all of us!"

"Let's find out, 'cause we're landing!" the quad-armed declared. "Hang on!"

Team Midoriya lands on the ground, with Fourarms holding his team on his back as he grunts. He slides forward a bit but eventually stops. He smirks as he looks up at Uraraka.

"Yep! Looks like I can," he tells her.

"Wow! With you, we might as well don't need the hover soles," Uraraka stated.

"Hmph!" Hatsume grumbled at this. "My babies can take your watch on any day, L/n!"

"Hey, I can't control what I turn into sometimes! It's not my fault," Fourarms defends himself. "I'm not trying to compete with anyone... except with these other guys of course."

"Come on, Jiro! They're getting away!" Hagakure exclaimed. "Speed up!"

"Hey, wait! Hagakure!" Sato spoke up. "You're headband's gone!"

"What?" Hagakure panicked. "Who--? No!"

Nearby, Neito Monoma and his team ran off with Hagakure's headband. "Well, that was easy."

"WOW! BARELY TWO MINUTES BAVE PASSED SINCE WE STARTED, AND IT'S ALREADY A TOTAL FREE FOR ALL!" Present Mic exclaimed. "YEAH! WATCH THOSE HEADBANDS! YOU CAN EVEN IGNORE THE TEN MILLION POINTS AND GO AFTER THE OTHER CHART TOPPERS!"

Laughter suddenly filled the air and Team Midoriya turned to see Mezo Shoji running towards them.

"Hey, hey! Another four-armed guy!" Fourarms pointed out. "Neato!"

"This is too easy!" Minarou Mineta's voice called out. "This isn't a fight. It's a massacre!"

"It's Shoji! Is he all by himself?" Midoriya asked. "Where's his team?"

"Think later! We need breathing room," Fourarms states. "We can't afford to get cornered!"

"Then let's move!" Uraraka says.

"Right!" Fourarms nods and goes to run, only for his foot to get stuck on something. "E-eh? What the...?"

"Is something wrong, L/n?" Midoriya asked.

"Dammit! I'm stuck on some purple guck!" Fourarms declares.

"That must be Mineta's ball," the team rider states. "But where did it come from?"

"From right over here," Mineta poked his face out from Shoji's arms. "Hi, Midoriya."

"What? Is that even allowed?"

"Says the guy riding on top of a huge, four-armed ali--monster," the red alien states.

"Judges says it is!" Midnight announces.

A long tongue suddenly shot out from Shoji's arms. Midoriya narrowly dodges it and the tongue retreats back to its owner.

"Impressive moves as usual," Tsuyu Asui told her opponent.

"Oh, man. You've Asui in there, too?" Midoriya asks Shoji.

"I told you to call me Tsu!" Asui declares.

The 1A student shot out her tongue again as Mineta threw his purple sticky balls at Team Midoriya. Fourarms was the one this time who had to dodge and move around to avoid getting hit. It was hard, however, since he was stuck in one place.

"TEAM MINETA'S COMING IN LIKE A TANK, MAKING CLEVER USE OF HOW COMPACT THEIR MEMBERS ARE!" Present Mic declared.

"L/n, we need to move!" Midoriya tells the transformed teen.

"I know! Just give me a sec!" Fourarms responds. "I have an idea, but it could be risky. Thankfully, I'm all about risky!"

"Do it!" Hagakure and Uraraka tells Fourarms.

The four-armed alien grunted with a nod and pulled his arms back. Then he slammed his palms together, creating a huge shockwave that sent Tean Tetsutestsu and Team Mineta sliding back. They fortunately didn't fall, meaning Team Midoriya wasn't disqualified.

"Holy crap!" Midoriya exclaimed. "That was crazy!"

"Hell yeah, it was!" Fourarms smirked.

[----]

Shinso: "Alien name: Fourarms. This muscular, four-armed alien is incredibly strong. He can tear apart metal and lift heavy objects with ease, and can create shockwaves by slamming his fists together or onto the ground. Y/n likes to argue that he's as strong, if not stronger than, All Might in this form. I highly doubt it, but anything's possible."

[----]

Fourarms then leaped up high into the air, freeing his leg from Mineta's sticky ball. The crowd gasps in shock at how high Team Midoriya goes.

"Holy shit! We're so high!" Hatsume declared.

"Sorry! I overshot it!" Fourarms apologized. "But, hey, at least we got away."

"DO YOU ALL SEE THAT?!" Present Mic asks. "Y/N L/N JUST GOT SOME SERIOUS AIR!"

An explosion catches Midoriya's attention and he looked to see Bakugou rocketing towards him and his team. Everyone else looked down at him as well.

"Kacchan!" the team leader exclaimed in shock.

"DON'T THINK FOR A SECOND YOU'RE SAFE!" Bakugou yells as he readies an explosion to fire.

"Eep!" Uraraka yelps.

"I'VE GOT YOU!" Bakugou declares.

"L/n!" Midoriya called out.

Without responding, Fourarms spun himself around and put up a crossguard. He blocked Bakugou's explosion, shocking him.

"What in the--?" Bakugou questions before he begins to fall.

Thankfully, Sero caught him with his tape and pulled him back down to the rest of his team.

"WHOA! BAKUGOU WAS SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF HIS TEAM!" Present Mic announces. "IS THAT EVEN ALLOWED?"

"He never touched the ground," Midnight states, "so technically it's okay!"

Fourarms lands back on the ground, successful at keeping his team safe. He sighs and looks up at his teammates.

"You guys okay?" he asks.

"Yeah, I think we're all fine," Midoriya nods.

"I'm all good," Uraraka answers.

"Same here," Hatsume states.

"Good. Now I don't know how much longer this form will last since these transformation time limits are wonky," Fourarms states, "so I don't know how much longer I can protect you guys."

"It's fine. You're Quirk is amazing as it is," Midoriya tells his front horse. "Don't stress yourself out to early. Just do your best!"

"Right," the transformed Y/n nods and runs forward.

Midoriya recalls the moment before the calvary battle started. When he asked for Y/n to join his team.

Earlier...

"Wait, so let me get this straight," Y/n scratches his hair. "You want me as a part of your team?"

"Absolutely!" Midoriya nods. "I saw you transform during the obstacle race, and I even spotted you training with a few of your other forms sometimes during the last few weeks. With your unpredictability, we can keep the ten million and win the calvary battle!"

"That so?" Y/n asked.

"Look, we know you may hate us, but that's all Bakugou!" Uraraka exclaims. "We're really cool, I promise."

Y/n hummed in thought for a moment. The time he took to think over the proposal slowly made Midoriya lose hope. However, Y/n smiled.

"Yeah, alright," he says. "I'll join you guys. I'll help you get first place."

"Great!" Midoriya said. "Alright, now, here's my plan."

Present Time...

He then runs forward to make sure he keeps distance from the other teams. 'I wonder how Shinso's doing...'

"AS EXPECTED, EVERYONE IS GOING AFTER THE FIRST PLACE TEAM, GIVING THEM NO TIME TO CATCH THEIR BREATH!" Present Mic announced. "WHAT A SHOW THIS IS!"

Back with M/n, she was watching everythinggo down on TV. She was also nervously eating a whole box of mochi. She stress eats.

"Come on, son," she stuffed another mochi in her mouth. "You can win this."

"NOW WHO WANTS TO CHECK OUT THE POINTS SO FAR? IT'S BEEN SEVEN MINUTES, SO LET'S GET THOSE RANKINGS SORTED ON THE SCREEN!" Present Mic says and a leaderboard showed up, shocking everyone. "HOLD ON HERE. THIS IS AN UNEXPECTED TURN. OTHER THAN MIDORIYA, CLASS 1A'S NOT DOIN' SO HOT! EVEN BAKUGOU IS LOSING!"

Bakugou's headband was suddenly stolen from his head by Monama from Class 1B.

"Your class is too small-minded," Monama tells the ash blonde. "Think bigger."

"He got us!" Ashido declared.

"What did you say?" Bakugou asked angrily. "Come back here!"

"Midnight said the obstacle course was just the first game, and we figured they wouldn't cut that many of us right off the bat," Monoma grinned at Bakugou. "Would they?"

"Huh?" Bakugou tilted his head.

"Assuming they'd keep at least fourty contestants for the next event, all we had to do was make sure we stayed within that group as we ran," the blonde continued. "From our spots in the midranks, we could fully observe the Quirks our rivals had and judge their capabilities. Only a fool would obsess over winning the preliminary rounds, wouldn't you agree?"

"You planned this as a class?" the crimson eyed teen asks.

"It wasn't totally unanimous," Monoma ties the headband around his neck, "but I'd say it's playing out well. It's better than chasing after a temporary frontrunner like a horse with a carrot in his face."

The spiky ash blonde grew angry at this as he started to tremble with rage.

"Oh, and while I have your attention... You're kinda famous, aren't you? For being attacked by that sludge Villain. You'll have to tell me about it sometime," Monoma grinned. "It must be strange to always find yourself always in the role of the victim."

Katsuki's eyes twitched with rage. "Kirishima... we have a change of plans."

Kirishima gasps when he looks at his team leader's intense face. The other two horse trembled in fear as well.

"Before we take down Deku," Bakugou started, "we're gonna kill every last one of these B-list idiots!"

Nearby, Midoriya couldn't believe what he had heard. So then there was hope that Class 1B wouldn't come after him and his team.

"Guys, I think we're gonna be okay!" he tells them.

Fourarms laughs in victory, only to let out a shocked shout and he skids to a stop. Midoriya looked ahead and his determined expression immediately fell.

"AND HERE WE REACH THE HALFWAY POINT OF THE GAME!" Present Mic declared. "AS THE CALVARY BATTLE ENTERS ITS SECOND HALF, IT'S ANYONE'S GAME! CLASS 1B HAS MADE AN UNEXPECTED SHOWING, BUT WHO WILL WEAR THE TEN MILLION POINTS IN THE END? THAT'S THE REAL QUESTION, SPORTS FANS!"

"And we were so close, too..." Fourarms grumbled.

Team Midoriya had a new challenger for the ten million points: Team Todoroki.

"I'll be taking that, now."
