In the heat of battle, Uraraka wept upon your shoulder as you embraced her. The conflict with Bakugo was fierce, devoid of mercy, yet she stood resolute, conjuring even a meteor shower. "Hush, it's okay, Ochaco; I am here," you murmured, pressing your sizable head against hers. "I made the attempt, Y/N; truly, I did!" she sobbed. "I knew you did, and that's why I entrusted you to forge your own path," you replied with a purr. She wiped away tears, expressing gratitude and embracing you around your neck. "Thank you for believing in me, Y/N," she said, and you rumbled in satisfaction. Trusting her, you contemplated, "I must depart." As she fled, your attempt to detain her was in vain, and you sighed. Straightening, your tail lashed, and you walked away.

Encountering Izuku and Endeavor again, you acknowledged Izuku without direct eye contact. Izuku, however, seized your arm urgently, proclaiming, "Y/N, we must leave." He pulled you away from Endeavor, casting a disapproving glare. In the tense moment, Endeavor scrutinized both of you. Whispering to Izuku, you inquired, "What transpired?" He met your gaze briefly, then averted his eyes. Your quills trembled, sensing something awry. "Something adverse," he murmured in response. Not pressing further, you walked alongside him, your tail swaying as the two of you returned to the stadium.

"Ah, Izuku-kun," you rumbled as he glanced up into your captivating red eyes. "Best of luck." He smiled, nodded, and departed. "And good fortune to Todoroki," you added.

"In the ethereal echoes, Y/N, your memory resurfaces like a dormant power waiting to be unleashed!" The fierce clash between Izuku and Todoroki reached a crescendo, the latter finally tapping into the arcane potential of his long-neglected left side. Your heart swelled with pride, knowing that your words had kindled the awakening of this latent force. Meanwhile, Midojira, a master of mystical quirks, held sway over the battlefield, leading to Todoroki's ascension to the next tier as Midoriya found himself banished beyond the bounds of combat.

Moved by the unfolding saga, you gracefully rose, a serpentine figure navigating toward the sanctum of healing—the nurse's room. "Halt, L/N, what mystic force propels you?" inquired Recovery Girl, gracefully stepping aside as your majestic form breezed through the modified doorway, an entrance befitting one of your fantastical stature. "I seek my comrade within," you clicked, and Recovery Girl, attuned to the currents of the mystical realm, nodded knowingly. "Worry not; the nurse's room is a frequent haven for him. I know where he bears the mark of injury."

With a deep breath, you graced her with a radiant smile. "Furthermore, may I beseech you to mend the lingering wounds? My powers can only sustain him long enough to tread the mortal realm once more." "Indeed,"

"The upcoming match features the lightning-fast Tenya Iida against the formidable dinosaur hero, Y/N L/N!" The anticipation hung in the air as you locked eyes with Iida. "Begin!" The command echoed, and Iida sprinted towards you, attempting to maneuver around and push you towards the boundaries. However, your colossal size made you resistant to his efforts. Growling, you responded by swatting him with your tail. "Gah, Y/N, you play dirty!" Iida exclaimed, halting just inches from the bounds, only to receive a headbutt in the stomach.

"Sorry, Tenya, but I have something to demonstrate," you growled, and he found himself outside the boundaries. Midnight cracked her whip, announcing, "Iida is out of bounds, and L/N advances to the next level." Lumbering over, you nudged Iida. "Tenya, are you okay? I didn't mean to hurt you; I just wanted to make sure you didn't—"

"Don't apologize, L/N. You're really strong, and I respect that!" he interrupted, prompting you to wrap your arm around him, mindful of your long, jagged claws. After a sniff, you gave him a lick, and he blushed, chopping the air. "Don't worry; I'm fine." With that, he ran off, and you sighed. "He's so resilient, even in defeat. Nothing can change that."

"And now, the stage was set for the titanic clash between Y/N L/N and Shoto Todoroki!" As Iida hurried away, visibly perturbed, you, resolute, focused your attention on the impending duel, snapping back to awareness as Present Mic's booming voice declared, "Begin!" The arena buzzed with anticipation.

Todoroki unleashed a formidable wave of ice towards you, a cascade of frozen fury hurtling your way. However, you stood steadfast, a colossus unmoved by the chilling onslaught. The ice snaked and curled around your towering form, weaving through the gaps between your talons, only to find itself broken free when you, with calculated grace, charged at the icy-hot prodigy.

Your talons, adorned with glistening black claws, caught the sunlight as they descended upon Todoroki. His evasive maneuvers were swift, yet not swift enough to evade the inexorable force of your attack. One of your indomitable claws tore through his suit, leaving a brief but vivid trail of red, an angry gash manifesting as a testament to the potency of your strike. The crowd gasped, the arena filled with the palpable tension of an unfolding battle between giants. 


He hissed through clenched teeth, cradling the wound as the vivid red liquid seeped through his pale fingers. Undeterred, you turned on your heel, your tail swinging out with formidable force, a powerful, white force that collided with his midsection. The impact sent him hurtling backward, landing perilously close to the arena bounds.

You understood the strategic necessity of provoking him, compelling the release of his untapped left side. You refused to succumb to defeat by a singular element; the determination echoed in the resolute set of your stance. The battleground crackled with the unspoken tension, a dance of power and strategy unfolding between two formidable adversaries.


"I won't relent until I witness both sides!" you roared, a torrent of words punctuated by spittle flying from your lips. Your powerful tongue slithered out, a manifestation of the intensity coursing through you, as Shoto turned into a roar of pure intimidation. The sound startled him momentarily, but the realization dawned that the strings controlling his actions were unraveling. He sighed, scratching the already wounded area; the overuse of fire had taken its toll. He couldn't summon it again.

In response to your relentless onslaught, he reluctantly raised his left arm, and bright orange flames burst to life. They collided with you directly in the face as you charged at him, jaws opened, head lowered. Todoroki braced himself, but in a moment of instinct, he threw his left arm up. The flames erupted, hitting you square in the face. Your eyes closed, but not fast enough. A guttural, pained roar erupted from your maw as you whirled around, your tail connecting with Todoroki's side, sending him hurtling over the bounds and into the arena wall.

Amidst your continued roars, the flames continued to consume your eyes. Concerned, Midnight shouted, "Oh no! Y/N, are you alright? Send down a medic team now!" Medics rushed towards you, but you roared in defiance, the slashing of your tail signaling your discomfort. Suddenly, you lost control; a sinew snapped, muscles bulged, claws grew, and your eyes gleamed again. But now, a red gaze dominated as the monster within emerged.
