Chapter 20: Sports Festival
"It's time." Deku and Toga stood at the start of the walkway to the building that holds U.A Sports festival, the place where the hero's in training go head to head, using their quirks to the best of their ability.
The sky was a clear baby blue, making the day even more exciting, the day that Deku and Toga intended to throw into darkness.
"Let's go!" Toga grabbed Deku's hand and pulled him forward as she quickly began walking towards the entrance to the festival. Deku chuckled as he let his body be pulled forward by Toga, eventually keeping up and walking next to her.
The were only interested in the last part of the Sports Festival, recording the first part for them to watch when they get home.
Since Deku used to be a student at U.A, he was given permission by the staff to be able to go backstage and meet all of his former classmates as well as sit with them whilst they watched the fights take place.
Before anything, the class were looking at the tournament board to see who they would be fighting against.
"Hey, guys!" The sound of Deku's voice made them turn their attention from the board and over to Deku. They were surprised to see him, almost all were happy as well. Uraraka and Iida were the first to approach Deku.
"Deku!" Uraraka shouted out his name and rushed to him with an over excited smile.
"Midoriya, what a pleasant surprise to see you here." Like always, Iida was the serious one. Deku awkwardly laughed as he felt overwhelmed by everyone's joy.
"There's no way I would miss the Sports Festival, I'll be cheering you all on." Deku took a deep breath to calm himself down and then moved onto the next part or the reunion, "So how has everybody been holding up?" The rest of the class was now in front of Deku.
"We miss out class rep, man!" Kirishima was the first to speak, "Iida is doing a great job and all, but it feels like you really had what it takes to be a great leader!" Deku blushed at Kirishima's comment. Before anyone else could answer Deku's question, Mina barged through the group and pointed out the person who was new to the group.
"Anyways, Deku! Who's she!?" Mina pointed at Toga, who then pointed at herself in confusion. Once she realised what Mina was asking, she put out her hand for her introduction.
"I'm Toga Himiko!" Toga looked as excited as ever. Before she continued, she then grabbed onto Deku's arm, "I'm Izuku's girlfriend!"
"Girlfriend!?" The entire class shouted at the same time, all shocked about the same thing. They knew that Deku would be someone who could be popular for his strength and mind, but they didn't expect him to get a girlfriend so quickly.
"She's your g-g-g-g-girlfriend?" Uraraka was stumbling on her words. She felt both defeated and upset.
"Moving on!" Deku wanted to move the conversation as quickly as possible so he wouldn't be rushed with questions, "When is the first fight happening?" Deku began walking towards the board that the class was looking at before right after Toga let go of his arm.
"The first fight for our class is Todoroki verses Sero, it's just after the one that's going on now." Kaminari gave exactly what Deku wanted to know. Deku thought he might as well watch how everyone is in the school fights before the attack, that way he would know what to expect.
"Okay! Let's go watch the fights then!" Deku then pointed in the direction where class 1A would be sitting to watch the fights before theirs. Everyone walked on ahead of Deku, but Bakugo stayed as he had something he wanted to say.
"Hey, nerd. I'm sorry about what happened." Bakugo wanted to apologize in person in the hopes that Deku would leave everything behind. But after all those years of bullying, it was too heavy for Deku to just leave behind. Years of torture, pain and suffering. Deku hated it, but still looked up to Bakugo.
"It's okay, Bakugo. I forgive you." When Deku called Bakugo by his real name, his brain blocked it out and removed everything on Deku that Bakugo used to remember. All he could see was Deku's true emotions behind the mask, "We'll be even soon enough." Those words came from the mind of Bakugo, not the mouth of Deku.
With a cheery smile, Deku walked past Bakugo, holding Toga's hand.
--------------------
They sat in their seats as they watched their friends fight, winning and loosing. However, one thing Deku noticed about someone specific really irritated him. Deku knew that Todoroki could use both fire and ice, yet Todoroki only used ice throughout each fight. They both stood in the empty as the final fight for the semi-final round and the crowd echoed through.
"Tell me, why are you only using half of your quirk? Do you think you're better than everyone else?" Deku was joyful or cheery, he was dead serious.
"Ever since I was a child I have hated my father." Todoroki began his explanation, "I'm going to prove that I don't need him to succeed by only using my mothers quirk." Just hearing that pushed Deku over the edge.
"Seriously?" The voice was cold, but a psychotic smile came on his face as he began maniacally laughing, "You intend to separate yourself from your father by letting him control you so easily? How pitiful."
Deku had every right to be angry as he spent almost all of the years of his life being quirkless, and right in front of him was someone who chose to reject their quirk.
"In your fight against Bakugo..." Deku's face was looking in the direction of Todoroki's chest, but his murderous eyes stared straight into Todoroki's eyes, "You will use your flames, or I'll slit your throat." Deku used his thumb as if it was a knife and pretended to slit his own throat.
"Tch." Todoroki wanted to attack Deku, but remained professional and just walked right past him.
Deku stood silently in the hall with the same stare as he gave Todoroki. Once Todoroki's footsteps couldn't be heard, Deku finally moved onto the part he was most excited about with his psychotic smile.
"Kurogiri." Not even a second after Deku called his name, Kurogiri appeared next to Deku, "Let's get everything ready, shall we."
"Very well." Kurogiri formed a portal for Deku to walk through after he sent a message to Toga so that she was also prepared. Turning around, Deku walked through the portal and arrived at the laboratory.
A suit was neatly place on a desk for Deku, that suit being his hero costume. He decided that ti would be cool to base his costume after his Master and Kurogiri, the two who took care of Deku and trained him to become as strong as he was.
In a blink of an eye, Deku switched from his usual casual clothes and into the suit. The suit had a green shirt, black trousers and blazer with a red tie. The colors suited Deku.
"This is so cool!" Deku put on the black leather gloves to finish of his suit. Inside the blazer were knives that were smaller than a kitchen knife, but bigger than a butter knife. The knives were as sharp as a scalpel, and were perfect for Deku in combat, "Thank you, Garaki!"
"What shall I do with the Nomu?" The last thing Kurogiri needed to be informed about was where exactly he needed to put the Nomu amongst the crowed.
"You can just place them behind the audience seats and equal distance apart from each other." After checking out all the knives inside his blazer, Deku quickly answered Kurogiri's question, trying his best not to make a joke as he was in a very hyperactive mood.
Kurogiri opened up another portal so that Deku could get back to the sports festival. When Deku walked through the portal, he arrived in the hall of the U.A building, right in front of Toga.
"How do I look?" Deku asked, presenting himself with an excited smile.
"Hmm." Toga walked over to Deku and fiddled with his hair. She soon came to the decision to brush the top of his hair to his left with her hands, "That's better!"
Taking a step back, Toga admired Deku, and Deku blushed as he looked back at her.
"Well then, time to get the show on the road." Deku handed a knife over to Toga when he walked passed her. Deku continued to walk until he came across a window that looked down at the center of the arena.
The final fight was already happening, Todoroki verses Bakugo. It was over in seconds when Todoroki finally decided to use his flames, meaning that he listened to Deku's advice. It wasn't the death threat that got to Todoroki, but the idea of his father having control over him so easily, that was the reason.
"You should count yourself lucky, I was actually looking forward to slitting your throat." A psychotic smile came over Deku's face. Todoroki walked away from the stage whilst Bakugo was taken by nurses to heal his injuries, then the sound Deku had been waiting for came earlier than expected.
"Warning, level 3 security breach. All Students and Civilians, please evacuate the building in an orderly fashion." The announcer made its announcement, and at one quick glance, Deku noticed the Nomu standing behind the crowds of people, who were all frozen in place.
Deku quickly made his way to the walkway that lead to the center of the stadium. The pro hero's were all confused and were mostly focusing on getting the students, whilst Endeavour stood in the crowd, looking at the Nomu in confusion as he had never seen them before.
Kurogiri arrived next to Deku and handed him a mic.
"Thank you." Just like that, Kurogiri disappeared to let Deku continue with his plan. Deku walked far down the large hall and eventually walked into the light. He turned on the mic and tapped it a few times.
"Is this thing on?" Deku had always wanted to say that into a mic for a large crowd of people, seeing as it was such an iconic saying. His eyes lit up with joy when he heard his voice echo through the stadium, causing everyone to turn around and look at him with fear.
With the stadium now silent, the sound of the helicopter flying above the building sounded louder than it ever did before, with the camera-woman looking straight at Deku.
"You all must be so confused." They were confused, but the people who were the most confused were the ones who met Deku when he was in U.A, "Don't worry, the Nomu won't bite until I tell them to, you can pet them if you want!" Even though it was mostly a joke, Deku did allow the crowd to pet them.
Some were hesitant, but others let their child touch the Nomu. Deku thought it was cute, but the main event was yet to come. Toga impatiently waited for Deku to make the call, the words that gave her permission to go have fun.
All Might and other faculty members were trying to sort everything out as they put too much trust into their security despite also being prepared for an attack.
"I think its about time I introduced myself!" Deku stood in the middle of the stadium like he was presenting a show, and to Deku, that's exactly what he was doing. His voice sounded friendly, and even attracted a few members of the crowd.
Many security guards were approaching Toga, but Deku knew it was about time he made his announcement.
"You can call me Deku! And I'm with the League of Villains!" The second Toga heard those words, her iconic smile came over her face as she took out one security guard after another. The Nomu had also started to attack the crowd too, distracting Endeavour whilst Deku stood freely, laughing maniacally.
He had finally done it. Now, Deku was officially a villain.
