Chapter Seven - The Sports Festival Concludes

After their match, Aerrow and Piper returned to the stands. When they do, Junko ran up to them and gripped them both in a tight bear hug.

Junko: THAT WAS AWESOME GUYS!

Aerrow: J.....Jun.....ko......

Piper: Can't.....breathe.......

Junko then released Aerrow and Piper from his bear hug. Junko wore an embarrassed smile on his face while Aerrow and Piper were catching their breath. 

Finn: Man that was an insane match you guys put!

Aerrow: Thanks guys! Glad you enjoyed it!

Stork: It was entertaining. Though that last move was a bit....over the top. 

Piper: Sorry about that!

Finn: You should've seen Midoriya! He was having a field day with your fight! He was taking notes in that notebook of his!

Finn then points to Midoriya who was mumbling to himself. The next match ended in quick victory for Tokoyami against Mina. The next match was Junko against Bakugo. Before the fight, Junko approached Bakugo. 

Junko: Good luck out there Bakugo!

Bakugo: You're dead. 

Hearing that made Junko whimper. Junko turned to the other Storm Hawks.

Finn: You got this Junko! 

Aerrow: Give it your all! 

After the encouraging words from his teammates, Junko and Bakugo went to the arena. 

Present Mic(Intercom): AND OUR NEXT FIGHT IS ABOUT TO BEGIN! OUR FIRST FIGHTER IS THE GENTLE GIANT OF 1-A JUNKO! AND HIS OPPONENT IS KATSUKI BAKUGO! 

Bakugo clenched his fists as Junko prepared himself for Bakugo. When the match began, Junko activated his Muscle Augmentation Quirk and charged at Bakugo. As he does so, Bakugo unleashes a barrage of explosive attacks using his Explosion Quirk. At the stands, the Storm Hawks can't see Bakugo.

Finn: I can't see Junko! 

Piper: How much damage can Junko's Quirk take? 

Stork: From those attacks? Probably not much?

Back at the fight, Bakugo sees Junko staggering. Sensing an opportunity, Bakugo unleashes one final explosion on Junko. The force of the explosion knocks him down. Midnight checks on Junko and sees him unconscious.

Midnight: JUNKO HAS BEEN KNOCKED OUT! THE WINNER IS KATSUKI BAKUGO!

After the match, Junko slowly got up and felt disappointed with himself. His spirits were lifted when he heard the loud cheers from his teammates. He returned to the stands with a sad look on his face.

Junko: Sorry about the loss guys.....

Piper: It's okay Junko! You gave it all you got! There's nothing to be ashamed about!

Junko began tearing up and locked Piper in a tight bear hug. Junko began crying hysterically as Piper struggled for breath. 

Aerrow: Easy there Junko! Piper's got a match coming up!

Junko then released Piper from the hug. The final two matches were decided. Piper be going up against Todoroki while Tokoyami would be facing Bakugo. Piper had studied Todoroki's fight against Sero and Midoriya. Soon, Piper and Todoroki went to the arena. Todoroki was quiet as if something was on his mind. 

Present Mic(Intercom): BEGIN! 

Piper uses her Binding Quirk to activate Diamond's Edge. She then uses Speed of Light to charge towards Todoroki. As she prepares to attack Todoroki in an attempt to knock him out of bounds, he summons a wall of ice to block her attack. 

Piper: A wall of ice?! 

Suddenly, Todoroki uses the Ice part of his Quirk to freeze the ground and encases most of Piper's body in ice. Piper tries to use Titan's Might to break out, but is unable to. 

Piper: (You idiot Piper! How could I not see that?!)

Midnight: PIPER HAS BEEN IMMOBILIZED! THE WINNER OF THE MATCH IS SHOTO TODOROKI!

After the fight, Todoroki walks over to the trapped Piper and uses the Fire part of his Quirk to free Piper from the Ice. She returned to the stands. 

Finn: Man Todoroki was not messing around!

Piper: I should've seen that last attack coming! I....

Aerrow: It's okay Piper. It happens to the best of us. 

After that, Bakugo scored an easy victory against Tokoyami. When the final match against Todoroki and Bakugo began, it was surprisingly one sided for Bakugo. When the match was called for Bakugo, Bakugo grabs Todoroki's shirt and demands that he get up and keep fighting. Midnight had to use her Somnambulist Quirk to knock out Bakugo.

Finn: Man talk about a sore winner!

Piper: Something was up with Todoroki. When I fought his, it was like Todoroki was.....somewhere else. 

As the Sports Festival ended, the top three winners: Bakugo, Todoroki and Tokoyami were given metals by All Might. Bakugo had to be bound and restrained as he was still angry about the fight. 

Junko: Bakugo sure does look mad! 

Aerrow: You're not wrong Junko......

As the Sports Festival ended, the Storm Hawks felt proud at themselves despite not winning the Sports Festival. They showed the world what they could do and that was enough for them. Meanwhile, Master Cyclonis and Count Ulric watches the end of the festival with interest.

Count Ulric: It seems that UA has plenty of potential candidates for the Syndicate. 

Master Cyclonis: That Piper girl.....tell me Count, you fought her correct?

Count Ulric: Yes. 

Master Cyclonis: What did you think?

Count Ulric: Her Quirk was most impressive. Her mind was sharp and her skills were formidable. I'm sure with the proper training, she'd become a valuable member of the Syndicate. 

Master Cyclonis: Inform our agent to keep an eye on her. 

Count Ulric: As you wish, Master Cyclonis.

As Count Ulric left the room, Cyclonis's interest in Piper grew. She saw potential in the young Hero. She saw someone who could be a valuable asset to the Cyclonian Syndicate. For now, all Cyclonis could do was wait until an opportunity presented itself.
