Voodoo Deku

Supernatural Finals

The second round was coming to a close with Ochako able to win her match against Kirishima by simply touching him with her fingertips, sending him outside the ring before releasing the redhead from it. Thanks to this, both Izuku and Ochako had made it to the semi finals and were ready to face off against each other with just one final match to win. Right now, Izuku was sitting inside the waiting room preparing for his match against Iida. He began to think of any possible way he could face off against the engine quirk user. 'If I think about this, Iida has the ability to move around at immense speeds and react rather well during it. The major issue is the Recipro Burst or whatever he calls it. The speed potion I had was a good countermeasure, but now I need a new idea.' Izuku kept thinking of a possibility to succeed before the door opened to Ochako walking in. "Trying to think of an idea to win?" The young witch doctor came out of his train of thought to see his girlfriend sit down in front of him.

"Iida's speed is an issue. Strength wise isn't a problem, but I can't succeed if I can't land a punch on him." "Good point. Do you have anything that can work against him this round?" "Sadly no. The best thing I had was the one potion we used to win the last event." They kept thinking before Butters hopped on top of Izuku's shoulder. "You can use me if anything." The two thought about this before they heard Mic on the announcer. "Will the first two semi finalists please report to the field!" "That's me. I'll see you later." Izuku gave Ochako a peck on the lips before heading out. As he left, Bubbles came out of his bowl with a cigar in fin to smoke. "Why don ya both hump already. This soft crap is pissin me off." The brunette pulled the cigar out of the koi fish's fin to put out in the bowl. "OI!" "No smoking inside a room." Bubbles crossed his fins in anger and muttered to himself in annoyance.

On the field, the first semi final round was starting with the crowd cheering. "ALRIGHT BOYS AND GIRLS, TIME FOR THE FIRST SEMI FINAL ROUND OF THE DAY!" The crowd cheered with both Izuku and Iida entering in on opposite sides of the stadium. "ON MY LEFT, WE'VE GOT THE LITTLE WITCH DOCTOR HIMSELF! CLASS A'S IZUKU MIDORIYA! AND ON MY RIGHT, HE'S THE YOUNGER BROTHER OF THE ENGINE HERO INGENIUM! ALSO FROM CLASS A, TENYA IIDA!" The crowd cheered with both preparing for the match to start. "BEGIN!" Right off the bat, Iida came to Izuku with his engines revving as fast as they could. "RECIPRO EXTEND!" He came charging at Izuku with Butters coming out in front. His body slowly changed into a massive tiger to take the blunt of the attack. "OW! That hurt!" Trying to avoid the massive beast, Iida goes under Butters to get near Izuku. Unfortunately, the witch doctor was no longer near Butters. "Up top Iida."

Izuku was sitting atop the tiger form of Butters for him to try and catch Izuku. This only lead to the engine quirk user's legs being grabbed by something. Looking down, he noticed two arms of shadows holding his own shadow for some reason. "How is this even possible!?" "Shadows represent the person. What the person does represents what the shadow does. So why can't it be vice versa?" "Nngh! So I am trapped because you told my shadow to stop!?" "More I stopped your shadow and that stopped you in accordance, but it isn't exactly far off from what you're implying." Iida's legs began to stall out for the time he had to defeat Izuku coming to an end. "That trick of yours is an amazing trick, but it's a double edged sword that'll make you a liability if you fail to do what you do." Izuku came off Butters to charge his fist with 5% of OFA. "In the spirit of this, I'll at least try to save face for you by giving you a punch that'll make you lose by being sent out of bounds. We might be opponents, but I don't want you to be looked down on because you made this miscalculation."

Izuku socked Iida in the gut to send him out of bounds and onto the solid ground. "Iida is out of bounds, Midoriya wins!" The crowd cheered before Butters came down to give Iida a hand up. As he walked away, the engine quirk user felt nothing but embarrassment as he made a fool of himself in his eyes to both any scouts that wanted to recruit him and his own brother who he idolized. "You did your best man. Don't let it get you down. A defeat is only a defeat if you don't learn something from it." This helped save some of the engine quirk user's pride as he walked away without as much disappointment as he did prior. Butters soon transformed back into the small cat and returned to Izuku's shoulder to lay around his neck to relax. 'Lazy cat. All you did was turn into a tiger and you're this worn out? You should get some more exercise.'
