Spectre - (MHA x OC)

Chapter 11: Todoroki vs. Gessei

Aiko sat in the waiting room, thinking up a strategy to beat Todoroki. 'I could try to fight him head-on, but I don't think I'll be strong enough to overpower him...' Aiko thought to herself, staring at her hands. Suddenly, the door burst open and Aiko's head snapped directly toward it. She relaxed when she saw it was just Bakugo. He said nothing, walking toward the table she was sitting at. "Ghost Face..." he started, "You better beat this Icy Hot bastard. I wanna fight you in the last round."

Aiko smiled to herself and said, "Ok Blasty."

Bakugo growled, "Don't call me that."

"Then don't call me Ghost Face," Aiko teased.

Bakugo rolled his eyes and said, "Whatever. I just wanted you to know that I'll be pissed if you don't make it to the last round. Show that Icy Hot bastard who's on top."

Aiko smiled some more and nodded, "Thanks Bakugo."

He scoffed and grumbled to himself, walking out of the room, leaving Aiko alone with her thoughts. Before she knew it, it was Aiko's turn to go up against Todoroki. Haru pat her back, wishing her luck as she walked out onto the field. Aiko took a deep breath, her pale blue eyes meeting the electric blue and dark gray eyes of her opponent.

Todoroki stared at Aiko, thinking over his strategy. 'She's very problematic... she will be able to avoid my ice by using her quirk...' he thought to himself, 'I'll have to try to freeze her when she tries to attack me, she'll be vulnerable then... maybe I could also try to overpower her in hand-to-hand combat, she's very small, it should be easy...'

"ARE YOU READY FOR THE FIRST MATCH OF THE SEMIFINALS????" Present Mic asked, the crowd roaring in response.

Aiko's heart pounded out of her chest, adrenaline pumping through her veins. "OUR FIRST CONTENDER, SHE'S THE STUNNING SPECTRE OF CLASS A... AIKO GESSEI!!!"

The crowd roared, causing Aiko to start buzzing with energy. 'Wait... their energy is converting to mine...?' Aiko thought to herself. Then, Haru's earlier words shot through her mind like a bullet. "I mean you could always find other ways to get energy."

"VERSUS... HE'S HOT AND HE'S COLD..."

Aiko then realized. 'Of course... I can take energy from...'

"SHOTO TODOROKI!!!" Present Mic announced, the crowd roaring.

As soon as Midnight started the fight, Todoroki shot ice directly at Aiko, hoping to freeze her before she became intangible. However, moments before the ice reached her, she started flickering. Aiko then ran toward Todoroki and as he prepped for the hit, Aiko slid down on the ice and grabbed his right leg so she could use her momentum as she slid behind him to kick at his left side. The second she touched his right side, however, ice started to coat her hand, but she didn't give up and kicked at his left side hard, causing Todoroki to stumble to his right. Aiko let go, sliding a few feet away from him. 'Shit... I can't make this hand incorporeal anymore... the ice isn't just on my hand... it's in my hand' Aiko thought to herself, staring at her ice-coated hand.

Todoroki growled and ran at Aiko, his new target being the iced hand that was now forced to be tangible. Aiko raised a hand toward Todoroki, willing 15% of his energy to go to her. 'I don't know the side effects of taking too much energy from a living being. Best to play it safe and not take too much, just enough to give me the upper hand in the fight,' she thought to herself as Todoroki noticed that he lost a significant amount of energy. Todoroki growled and ran toward her, 'So we're playing dirty, huh?' 

Bakugo noted that Aiko started glowing a soft blue, like when she takes energy from Haru. He smirked, "Come on Ghost Face! Kick his ass!"

The class stared at him in confusion. 'Since when has he ever rooted for anybody? And why Gessei?' everyone thought to themselves before Mina started to giggle, her gossip-loving brain taking this information and running with it.
