No one's POV

In the waiting room, Shoto ponders the conflicting thoughts of his mother's breakdown and Izuku's encouragement. He's interrupted when Sora suddenly entered the room.

Sora: Eh? Wait, I thought this was—

Sora quickly realizes that he is actually the one in the wrong waiting room.

Sora: Well, that's fine I guess. I wanted to have a little talk with you before our match.

Shoto: What—?

Sora: I want you to come at me at full strength. In other words, using your flame.

Shoto: That's what Midoriya said to me, too. That guy acted recklessly and came to destroy all the problem I'd been carrying. You guys are childhood friend, right? Are the two of you always like that when you were young?

Sora: Yup. As long as there is people that was in need of saving, Izuku won't hesitate to do the extreme. That's just the man he is. Whatever the case, I want you to forget about everything in this match. Your family problems, your father, mother, everything. Because this match is between you and me. So you better use your flame as well.

Shoto replies that Izuku had told him the same thing, and comments that he was foolish for trying to help him rather then winning the match. He asks Sora if Izuku was helpful during their childhood, and Sora smile saying that he does. At the same time, Sora told Shoto to ignore Izuku and his family issues so that he can use his fire during their bout.

Shoto: Why are you going that far for me to use my left?

Sora: Todoroki, you challenge me. To settle the score between us to whom which of us are stronger. So it's pointless for me to win if you are not at your strongest.

Sora said solemnly as he continues on.

Sora: Like I said before, you and I are one and the same. The two of us resent our father. It's because of him that we had to suffer like this. But, Todoroki I won't go so deeply as to resent the Quirk that I inherited. Because this Quirk is part of me. Regardless of what people say, I am Sora Uzumaki who inspired to become a Hero. Not the son of the Third Hero whom is just following his father's footsteps.

Shoto:...

Sora: So that's why, I will hold them down from above.

Sora exits the room and states he wants everyone to know he beat Shoto at full strength. As soon as Sora left, Shoto ponders back at what Sora says, that his Quirk is a part of him, not because he's the son of the Third Hero. That Sora will become a Hero the Sora Uzumaki way, not by following someone else's footstep.

(Timeskip)

Present Mic: The first round of the semifinal. They're both from a family of heroes. A battle of the elites. Shoto Todoroki from the Hero Course, vs Sora Uzumaki from the Hero Course.

The match of the semi-final matches will finally be underway. Two opposite rivals stood at one another. On the left was Shoto Todoroki and on the right was Sora Uzumaki. They are the sons of two Pro Heroes that were rivals as well. Naruto and Enji both will be watching the battle with bated breath, since their son will finally clash. Even the people in class 1A were all watching with no one daring the blink.

Present Mic: Now— START!!

The battle is finally underway with Shoto using a more controlled version of the giant ice attack he defeated Hanta with.

However, Sora didn't panicked and covered both palms with Wind and he rapidly fire blast of Gale Palm towards the oncoming Ice.

Sora: Tch!

Present Mic: Todoroki gets a blow in right away! Is he trying to avoid close combat with Uzumaki? Has the winner been decided already?!

Izuku: It's not on the same scale as in his match with Sero. He aimed his attack while being careful of what'll come next.

*Boom*Boom*

Then suddenly, the ground itself tremble, and sounds of explosion was heard within the ice. Shoto was looking towards the ice where Sora was burried waiting patiently.

Mineta: What's that sound?

Tsuyu: It's Sora's doing.

When it came too, the ice was all shattered completely. And came from it, was 15 Sora. Sora had summoned 14 clones from within the ice. First he had uses Gale Palm not to destroy the ice completely but to create an igloo from within so he had some space on the inside. After he created his clones, all of them uses Gale Palm; Barrage to destroy the ice simultaneously.

Sora and clones: It's payback time! With interest pal!

Sero: Did he dig his way out through the ice with his clones?

Kaminari: That's so weird!

All 15 Sora rushes towards Shoto in unison. Shoto not wanting to get too close to Sora once again blast another volley of ice at an alarming pace.

Shoto's attack once again incase Sora's clone in ice, however the real body manages to leap forward by using one of his clones at bait and rushes on.

Sora(mind): I knew it! A strong Quirk like that...means his attack ain't that precise!

Sora rushes Shoto, commenting that his attacks are powerful but he has bad aim and needs to try harder. Shoto moves to counter attack, but Sora evades using a mid air wind propel and grabs onto Shoto's left side before throwing him.

Sarada: He dodge the ice and then grabbed him!

Ochako: Wow!

Sora: Your looking down on me, Todoroki!

Shoto creates and surfs an ice wave to avoid going out of bounds. Sora attacks again and Shoto is able to stop him by evading his Wind and grabbing onto his forearm. Rather than using the flames in his left arm, the same arm he used to grab Sora, he simply tosses him away. This only angers Sora, causing him to ask if he's unworthy of Shoto's flames.

Sora(mind): He lost his drive when, unlike when he was fighting Izuku!

Sora thought as Shoto appears to have lost his spark after his match with Izuku. This aggravates Sora more since he wanted to win against Shoto at full strength.

Sora: Why are you holding back?

Shoto: I...

Sora: Your the one who challenged before the sport festival... So why are you holding back?

Shoto: I...

Sora: Like Izuku says, there's no point in winning if I don't defeat you at your strongest! Everyone's here is trying their best, so if you're not trying to win than you have no right to stand here with us!

Shoto: I...

Sora had completely stopped his attacks but didn't let down his guards. Shoto's head was down not even trying to look at Sora in the eyes. This creates a temporary cease on the battlefield.

Present Mic: Um... Why have you guys stopped battling?! The fight is still ongoing?!

Sora ignores the comments from the spectators and continues to goad on Shoto.

Sora: Why are you even here?

Shoto(mind): To be a Hero.

Sora: You don't know what you should do? You don't know whether or not what you're doing is right... I'm pretty sure you don't even sure about anything anymore.

Shoto: !!

Shoto's body tremble as Sora's comment was right on the mark. Shoto internally apologizing to Sora because he is still too unsure about what his left side means to him to use it.

Sora: You know, Todoroki. When I'm here right this moment, I forget everything. My ridiculous bet with that Stupid Old man of mine. I want to win so badly to prove to that bastard that I'm not some kid who needs protection! But what about you?! You want to prove to him too, don't you! That you are not some masterpiece for his ambitions, but Shoto Todoroki who inspired to become a Hero, right?!

Shoto: I...! I...!

Sora: So prove it to me right now! Prove it to everybody that is watching right now, that you have your own goal! That you are not just the son of the Number 2 Hero, but you are Shoto Todoroki!

Shoto: ?!

Sora's words made something inside Shoto snap. No he was sure that something had snapped from within him.

Shoto(mind): Be a Hero the Shoto Todoroki way....?

At this instant, all of the family matters that had been haunting him. His mother's words of how unsightly his left side was. His father, his siblings, everything was erased from his view. Impassioned once again, Shoto ignites his flames and prepares to counter Sora's next move.

Shoto: Uzumaki...! You...! Whether it's Midoriya or you...! You guys are insane...! I want to win too...! To prove that I'm the strongest...!

Hearing Shoto's declaration, Sora finally grin since the flames are finally out. The shackle that was binding Shoto had finally been released. The two rivals were finally going all out. The people all could see from the grin on both faces.

Sora: Yes! That's what I wanted to see!

Finally able to fight to his fullest, Sora rushes towards Shoto in blinding speed. He created several clones once again trying to pincer Shoto from all side. However, before he could, Shoto erupt his left side and shot Sora with a Flamethrower attack, destroying all the fakes.

Sora whom was covered from within the flames held his hand in front of him to cover himself from the heat. He wanted to create a Wind barrier but that will only make the flames grew stronger. So in order to to destroy the flames before it consumes Sora completely, Sora finally led out his secret technique that he had been saving.

Sora: Twin Dragon Fist!

Sora's voice echoed from within the flames and then the flames all subsidies. And Sora stood there with both palms, surrounded by Wind whom had form a shape of a Dragon.

Shoto: Wh—What the heck is that?

Present Mic: A Dragon! A dragon has appeared on the arena!

Tenya: The Wind that surrounds Uzumaki's palms turned into a Dragon!

Izuku: It's just like—

Naruto: Hinata's Twin Lion Fist!

The crowd was erupted in sounds, cheers, applause, shock when Sora unleashed a technique that he has yet to reveal in the Sport Festival. From within the stands, Hinata smile brightly.

Hinata: Ah... So he finally uses the technique.

Naruto: Wait, you know of this?

Hinata: Yeah, of course. I'm the one who shows it.

In fact during his week of training with Hinata, Sora had learned not only Hinata's Gentle Fist but all of her moves. Then during the night in his room, he would see video on the internet about all his mother's technique. Every day and every night he watches, learned and made his own moves that doesn't involve his Mother's Quirks. And the solution he came up with is this; Twin Dragon Fist.

Sora: The real fight starts now!

Sora did a spinning motion and send both palms with Two Dragons in it hurtling towards Shoto at alarming speeds that could cause a massive damage. Though Sora lowered the Wind output so the attack would just knock Shoto unconscious instead of killing him. Seeing the two dragons flying towards him at a terrifying speed, Shoto embraced himself by created a chunk of ice wall in front of him.

Shoto: What power!

When the ice and the dragons clash, it does indeed cause an explosion that both Midnight and Cementoss that were near the arena was also blown by the shockwave.

Midnight: Oh come on! Not again!

Cementoss: Please try to restraint a little!

However the two rivals had just simply ignored the words and continue to grin at one another as if lost in their own world. They couldn't hear anyone else, forget about anything that consumes their mind, and just focus solely on the battle at hand. Sora once again created several clones and 6 clones all rushes towards Shoto from all sides. Shoto however created a wall of ice in front of the clones, and while the clones were trying to get over it or around it, the ice suddenly exploded.

Sora(mind): The ice exploded!

Seeing that, Sora knew right away that the inner ice were flames, taunting Sora to get close before exploding on a small scale. Seeing this the other clones along with the main body all separate themselves jumping from ice blok to another while also evading the hurtling icicle explosion attack that were coming towards them. Meanwhile, on Shoto's mind...

Shoto(mind): Why... I thought I said about not using my flames... And yet... His Words... made me forget why I'm angry in the first place.

All Shoto could do was to enjoy the fight. He forgets everything and grin at Sora whom was grinning back at him. The ice and the flames that held it swooped in on Sora, who was powerless to deflect it fully. Behind Shoto, Sora saw Izuku. He saw Sarada and Katsuki, the rivals that will probably face him in the finals if he win. He saw a certain blonde haired boy 2 years older than him, who had died in front of his eyes. He saw his own powerless image. Behind the Fire covered in eyes, he saw Naruto's Flames, and Hinata's white aura, and Himawari's tears. They woke in him a mad hope that tore at his heart.

Sora(mind): I want to be strong. So I can overcome this worthy opponent—and overcome my own powerless self. I want to be strong. So I can beat this worthy opponent—and so I never lose anything again. Be strong. Like a hero. Like a hero who protects the ones he cares about. Like a hero who struggles on even when reality crushes him and hypocrites mock him. I. Want to be...a hero.

Sora: Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Sora roared. He thrust himself forward beyond his limits and ran full speed into a world of white. He dashed with all his might through a white field where everything burned with white heat, toward the boy clad in fire and ice who waited on the far side.

Shoto: ?!

He lunged forward on his left foot with such force it blurred before the eyes of his audience, and at the same time he swung his fist. On his backs were 9 clones. Three of them were holding one of the other clones feet hurtling them like a cannonball.

His opponent could not respond in time to this boundary-shattering speed. The flaming ice that was said to protect Shoto was protecting him, explode near him instead.

Shoto: Guh!

Sora's punches crashed into Shoto's shoulder, but still Sora did not stop. He unleashed a storm of blows onto the tough ice.

Shoto: A—Aargh!!

As if it had reached the limits of its patience, the Flames covered Sora's body high into the air. The spectators screamed, but Sora ignored them and leaped forward at full speed.

The upward kick that exploded into his left cheekbone caught Shoto completely off guard. Not to be outdone by his opponent, Sora had turned his body into a weapon and unleashed his Uzumaki Barrage on his opponent. Shoto somehow withstood this kick to his face—but the next moment, Shoto was plunged into shock.

Still hovering in midair with his left foot extended, Sora thrust out his right arm like the barrel of a gun.

Sora: Raiton; Thunderclap Arrow!

He released six consecutive thunderbolts.

Shoto:—Guh?!

They were fired from such close range that the spectators watching gasped. The decisive blow damage one of Shoto's eyes. The force of his own blast threw Sora back. The instant he hit the ground, he ran toward Shoto at full speed. In his right hand, was his Gentle Fist, tottered backward a few steps, then lunged at his opponent and punch with all his might.

Shoto: Ha?!

Diagonal downward punch.

Shoto: Gah?

Horizontal kick.

Shoto: Damn it—?!

Uppercut. Three flashes of light all told. This time Shoto's full plate armor of ice split open, and his body gushed a fountain of blood.

Sora and Shoto: Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The Pro Heroes and spectators screamed as if their chests would explode at the sight of Sora's full power awakened. As for Shoto, whose left eye had been damage and whose body had suffered a deep wound—he smiled. A quiet, powerful expression so uncanny it silenced the cheers of the crowd for a moment. The two boy's will to fight was as fierce as ever. Sora rushed forward with his Wind, burning with determination. Shoto's Fire and Ice pounded into the ground, splintering it underfoot.

Sora's feet carried him forward with blinding speed. Each could see only the other. Their eyes flashed as they charged toward their final clash.

Sora and Shoto: !!

It was the final match. The roars of two rivals filled the air. No trace of elegance could be found in their duet—only the battle cries of two beings hungry for victory. Persistence clashed fiercely against strength.

Even as the damage on his right side, Shoto's powerful Ice crashed down to cut Sora's Wind short. The Wind and Ice were pulled back, only to meet again an instant later in a swirl of flashing light and flying sparks.

The Ice frost Sora's shoulder, and blood spurted out. The sound of Wind being crushed came from within the armor of ice that had deflected the blow. Sora's right hand shot a Thunderclap Arrow that stun Shoto's body, but mere contact with the inhumanly strong opponent was enough to damage more of Sora's arms.

This clash of wills and stubborn determination had nothing to do with pride. Each accepted no compromise from the other, instead urging him on like an image in a mirror. The Students leaned backward. The Pro Heroes shuddered. The Spectators smiled and cheered. The crowd sitting around the spectators forgot even to breathe, instead pouring their whole selves into one continuous scream.

Present Mic: This is the moment you've been waiting for folks! Which one of this two brave young Hero will come out on top!

Present Mic was shouting deliriously that it stop making sense. Sarada and Katsuki trembled at the sight of the deadly struggle. Naruto, Hinata, Himawari, Endeavor, whom had connection to the two boys watched with bated breath as the fight approached its final stretch. As they watched two rivals desperately staved off the end of their battle.

Izuku: This is it.

Sarada: Yeah. The next blow will decide everything.

Ochako: Do your best!

They were about 10 meter apart. Shoto with his final attack, intensified the strength of his Flames on his left side. He was prepared to used the same technique that won him the match against Izuku. Sora who guessed Shoto's intention readied himself by raising his right hand. Then a spiraling wind gathered on his palm. He was preparing his strongest attack, which was the Rasengan.

Naruto: The Rasengan?! When did he learn that?!

Naruto's shock was clearly visible, since he never once taught Sora one of his technique. No one could gave the answer to him. All Naruto could do was watch the fight that will be settled in this next attack.

Sora:...

Shoto:...

The image of the Crimson Flame reached Sora's eyes. The spiraling wind of light pierced Shoto's gaze. The two rivals eyes met. Both of them were brimmed with the will and determination that destroyed all the boundaries. All watched with bated breath. A single second seemed to stretch on forever. Their soul hungered, their eyes resolved burned fiercely. Sora's diamond eyes met with the dark gray and turquoise eyes of Shoto. And then—

Sora and Shoto: Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sora jumped into the air and hurled his body down using gravity turning his body into a powerful bullet. Shoto with his charged flames unleashed an attacked more powerful than anything he had ever unleashed before.

The spectators, the pro heroes, and the students gasped at the thunderous roars. In an instant, the mad rush reduced the space between the two forms to nothing. Sora swung his Rasengan down and then up again. Aiming for his opponent's red flames, Sora unleashed a ferocious Wind attack of Spiraling light.

Sora: RASENGAN!!!!!

Shoto: !!

One instant. That was all it took for Shoto to realize the spiraling ball of light of his opponent was crushing his crimson flames. Though before Sora's Rasengan made contact with Shoto's face.

*Poof*

Sora disappears revealing himself to be a clone. The stupefied Shoto and the shock audience stood there frozen. Before he realized what had happened, the real Sora is already on close proximity. The reason Sora cancel his clones is because if it had hit Shoto at its full power, he might've accidentally killed him. So Sora instead charged his powerful fist.

Sora: Dragon Fist; Explosion!

Shoto: !!

Shoto who had left himself completely open to Sora's powerful fist. Once the smoke from the blast clears, Shoto, has been blasted outside the ring. Looking at it closer, Shoto had been knocked unconscious, winning Sora the match.

Midnight: Todoroki is out of bounds! Uzumaki advance to the finals!

Thunderous cheers erupt from the crowd.

Present Mic: After the spectacular battle, we finally had a winner! Uzumaki advances to the finals!

Himawari: *clapping* He won! Big Bro won! He's in the finals!

Izuku: Todoroki...

Two rivals clash. But only one that could take it all. After a thrilling performance on both contestants, the winner goes to the son of the Number Three Hero; Sora Uzumaki
