And here we are! Yes, we're sticking to team 1 for one more chapter because I can't just leave you all hanging right before the final match of the sports festival! No! I'm sure you're all dying to find out who comes out on top between Cry and Krystal, am I right? So, we're sticking to it and going through with the final battle! That last chapter though..... oh boy.... it took a lot out of me, as it did with the characters as well. For both Alex and Cry, in both of their respected stories, that it probably the furthest I've ever pushed either of them, and it was literally a coin toss for whoever could win. But, just the fact that Cry was able to overcome Alex's grand magic spell shows just how strong he really is. What's Krystal supposed to do to beat him? Honestly, i'm not even sure myself. We'll find out shortly if she can though. Enjoy!

Note: Hey! This is me again, but talking from a few hours later! I'm since each mission is nearing its end, i'm just to going to finish off all of them separately when we switch back to them, meaning i'll finish team 1's mission soon, then i'll finish team 2, and then team 3. And lastly, this chapter is going to be very LONG! So sit back and enjoy it!

-POV: Krystal-

The next morning came around in no time. Alex's wounds, as well as, Cry had been treated by U.A's nurse and everything was ready to go. I was all that was left between success and failure. No matter what happens next, I have to win the upcoming battle. Even if I have to kill myself, i'll emerge victorious. I now waited in the infirmary, sitting in between the beds of both Ayuma and Alex who were both still unconscious. 

"The two of you..... both of you tried harder than anyone who came here to win for our world.... and this is what's become of someone who's just trying to save their home world.... I promise.... as a member of this world's team.... as a member of the axe hero's party..... as a member of our family.... I'll win for everyone....." I said as I felt tears drip from my eyes.

"I was told by Principal Nezu and my son about who you all really are. I understand the pressure and pain you must be going through." I heard a woman say as I looked to the entrance to the infirmary. Standing in the doorway was a middle aged women with snow white hair, bright blue eyes, and she wore a black and red scaled battle dress, with leggings and shoes to match. This woman was Wrath Queen. She came into the room and pulled up a chair to sit down next to me.

"What're you doing here? I thought you'd be with your son to cheer him on." I said to her as she let out a small chuckle.

"He gets super nervous when it comes to the finals. It's best to just leave him alone or he starts to psyche himself out. Besides, I came by to see how these two are doing." Wrath Queen said, looking at Alex and Ayuma. 

"Their conditions have been stabilized, or so says the nurse. Now they just need to rest. Hopefully they wake up soon." I said as Wrath Queen put her right hand on my left shoulder. 

"They're tough, that's for sure. I've never seen people with such raw power and determination before. They'll make it through to see the light of day." She said to me as she then let out a heavy sigh. 

"I'm sure they will. I just wish they were awake to cheer and support me." I said. 

"They will be cheering for you though. Whether they're there or not, and whether you can hear them or not, you know they're cheering for you, in your heart." Wrath Queen said as we both gave each other some smiles.

"Your son..... Cry..... has he always been so dedicated to become a hero?" I asked Wrath Queen as she shook her head. 

"Surprisingly, no. His desire only came a few years ago. Three to be exact, when it was 2 weeks before the U.A entrance exam. But, he was unsure of so much because his original quirk made him an outsider. He only wanted to become a hero so he'd finally fit in with the world around him. And, after he passed the exam, he started meeting his first real friends in his class, and they helped him open up and come out of his shell. He grew confidence like i'd never seen before in him and his passion rose to even greater heights. As far as i'm concerned, he's already surpassed even myself in terms of being a hero." Wrath Queen explained to me. 

"Watching him in his match against Alex.... it's honestly hard to believe if anything can beat someone like him. His quirk..... no, just his raw talent is immeasurable. He far exceeds anyone I've ever fought, and that includes one of the demons we're trying to defeat now." I said to her as she let out another small chuckle. 

"He wasn't always this good. When he lost his original quirk and received this new reality one, he had to restart from the very beginning again. He worked twice, no, three times as hard as anyone else in this entire school to hone his skills and quirk abilities. He's fully mastered his quirk, his mind, and his body's capabilities. He's at his peak, and, it appears he may never come back down. But that doesn't mean someone else can't bring him down themselves." Wrath Queen said to me as I looked at her with surprise. 

"What do you mean?" I asked her. 

"My son may seem unbeatable at first glance, but believe me, he's anything but. The secret to beating him is what allows him to create so many things in the first place." Wrath Queen told me. 

"His weakness is his strength...... his diamond arm!?" I said as she gave me a nod. 

"Yep. With his quirk, he can't create anything from his own body if it's made of an organic material like skin. But, since he's created that diamond arm separately away from his body and then attached it, he can make things from it directly. It's his engine. Take that out and it becomes much harder for him to fight." Wrath Queen explained as she got up from her chair and headed for the exit. 

"Where are you going?" I asked her as she stopped before leaving to look at me. 

"I'm one of the commentators, remember? And the match is gonna start in just over 10 minutes. Gotta go get ready. Knock 'em dead out there, kid." Wrath Queen said as she left me.

"Thanks...." I said as I took her words as I sign to go and get ready myself. The big battle was moments away. It's time for me to prove why I deserve to be here.... why I deserve to be with the axe hero....

"WHO'S READY FOR THE FINALS!!!????" Present Mic roared into his microphone as the entire crowd responded with a huge "WE ARE!!!!"

"LIVE FROM U.A STADIUM #3, THIS IS THE FINAL BATTLE OF THE SPORTS FESTIVAL THIRD YEAR EVENT!!! AND BOY, WHAT A BATTLE IT WILL BE WITH OUR TWO REMAINING COMBATANTS!!!!" Wrath Queen announced as the crowd was just getting more and more hyped up.

"THAT'S RIGHT!!! FROM A STARTING FIELD OF 48 STUDENTS, WE'VE SEEN MATCH AFTER MATCH WITH SOME OF THE MOST SPIRITED BOUTS WE'VE EVER WITNESSED!! AND NOW, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS!!!" Mic shouted. 

"THAT'S RIGHT!!!! TWO FINALISTS ENTER, BUT ONLY ONE WILL EMERGE VICTORIOUS AS OUR CHAMPION!!! WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF YET AGAIN WITH REIGNING CHAMPION, CRY, TAKING ANOTHER WIN!!??? OR WILL NEWCOMER, EXCHANGE STUDENT, AND RISING STAR, KRYSTAL STEAL HIS THUNDER!!?? LET'S FIND OUT RIGHT NOW!!! BRING ON THE FIGHTERS!!!!" Wrath Queen roared into her mic as the introductions were about to begin.

"LET'S GET THIS GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL UNDERWAY!!!! HERE'S OUR FIRST COMBATANT!!!! WRATH QUEEN, TAKE IT AWAY!!!!" Mic shouted as Wrath Queen took over. 

"ALL HAIL THE REIGNING KING!!!! LET'S HEAR IT..... FOR THE UNDENIABLE.... UNDEFEATED..... TWICE REPEATED..... U.A SPORTS FESTIVAL CHAMPION OOOOOFFFFFF THE WOOOOOOORRRRLLLLDDDDDD! YOU KNOW, OF COURSE! THE ONE..... THE ONLY..... CRY!!!!!!" Wrath Queen roared with intensity as the crowd went ballistic for their returning champion.

"After one hell of a semi final match against Alex, Cry came out on top just barely and, after a night of intense pain recovery, he's raring to go for this final battle! He's looking as unstoppable as always, but can his opponent find some way to finally bring him down to earth!? Let's find out!!!" Present Mic announced as I began to walk into the arena. 

"ABRACADABRA! ALAKAZAM! THIS GIRL'S THE JAM!!! THREE TIMES SHE WAS TESTED!!! THREE TIMES SHE PREVAILED!!! JUST ONE OPPONENT LEFT TO THE SHINING HOLY GRAIL!!! HERE TO SEIZE THE CROWN!!!! AND TAKE CRY DOWN!!! IT'S KRYSTAL!!!!!!!" Present Mic roared with passion as the entire crowd went nuts for me. I waved to everyone as they did the same for me as I walked onto the battlefield. However, Cry was not the only person waiting for me there. There was two officials on the battlefield too, one where Cry was and the other where I was positioned. They were both strapping cameras to our chest. 

"What're these for?" I asked. 

"You'll see. Present Mic will explain shortly. Good luck!" The official said to me as they strapped the camera to me and then left the field. The other official on Cry's side strapped his camera to him as well and then went to take his position at the side of the battlefield. 

"Some of you in the crowd and watching at home may be wondering what the cameras on our fighters are for!! We'll let's clear that up for you all!! Combatant and champion, Cry, always like to put on a show for us all whenever it's the final match! For this battle, there will be no ring outs, only knockouts! Prepare to be sent across our world in a battle that will defy all expectations! These cameras will help us all watch the entire battle, because it won't be long until these two are on the opposite side of the planet!" Present Mic explained as I was still a little confused. 

"Wait.... we're not just fighting inside the stadium?" I questioned. 

"That's right. And that's because of these!" Cry said as he suddenly opened up dozens of different portals around the stadium and battlefield. 

"Each of these portals takes us somewhere different. It could be under the sea, above the clouds, in a forest, who knows where!?" Cry explained to me as I got it now. 

"What if one of these portals takes us to a populated area? Won't our fighting cause harm to some innocent bystanders?" I asked as he shook his head. 

"Nope. The portals take us to an alternate earth that I've made. It's completely uninhabited so we can go as wild as we want." He told me as he started to crack his knuckles. 

"Looks like everything down there's ready, so there's only one thing left to do!!! Let's kick off this sports festival grand championship final battle!!!! Say it with us, folks!!!!" Wrath Queen shouted as the entire crowd began to cheer with her. 

"3..... 2...... 1............ BEGIN!!!!!!!!!" The entire stadium roared with excitement as I took off running towards Cry.

"Spark! Flare!" Cry shouted as he thrusted his right arm forward, launching a stream of flames at me. I avoided the attack by sliding underneath the flames and then getting back up to resume my charge. 

"Glimmering Flash Pellets! Barrage technique!" I shouted as I created dozens of floating balls of light around me. I sent each and every one of them flying at Cry. 

"Expand! Shield!" Cry shouted as his diamond hand morphed into a huge circular shield which proceeded to block all of my attacks. 

"Perfect! Now, Blinding Light Whip!" I shouted as I created a long whip which I swung at Cry. It wrapped around his right arm as he shrunk his hand back to normal and I started to swing him around the battlefield.

"If i'm able to overwhelm him, then he won't be able to fight back!" I thought as I swung him overhead and then slammed him back down onto the battlefield.

"And Krystal starts off this final in control! She's looking strong so far but this is only the beginning! Things are sure to get crazy real soon!" Wrath Queen announced as Cry started to get back up. However, my light whip was still wrapped around his arm so I decided to tug on it hard and pull him towards me. 

"Lightspeed Kick!" I shouted as I created light around my left foot and I reeled it back. When Cry was close enough, I thrusted my foot right into his chest and sent him flying. He went right off the battlefield but flew through one of his many portals.

"And there we go!! This battle's moving on to its next stage!! Let's check out Cry's camera to see where he's ended up!!" Present Mic shouted as the big tv screen changed to show where Cry was now. It showed him underwater surrounded by fish and a coral reef. 

"How are we supposed to fight there!?" I questioned.

"Don't worry, Krystal! Even though we'll be underwater, i'm filling the area with breathable air. Come on in so we can continue!" I heard Cry say as I took his word and followed him through the portal. I jumped into it and immediately became drenched from all the water. But, like Cry said, I could still breath. I just had to grow accustomed to swimming around and fighting at the same time. 

"Welcome to my world's great barrier reef. One of the most beautiful locations on the planet, and, our first stop in this glorious fight of ours." Cry said as I took a quick look around. The view was absolutely stunning. Fish species i'd never seen before, multi-colored coral species that went on for what seemed like miles, it was all here. There were even more portals around to take us to different locations.

"It truly is stunning, but I didn't come here to enjoy the sights. I came here to take you down." I said Cry put his right arm behind his body. 

"I know. So, let's pick things up again! Jet propulsion!" He shouted as he began to shoot water out of his right hand, pushing himself forward at me at a blazing speed. I tried to maneuver myself to counter him but the water was disorienting me. I had no chance to dodge as Cry came right up to me and used his propulsion to shoot his arm forward and land a monster punch to my chest. He sent me flying through the water but I was able to grab onto a piece of coral to stop me.

"I've gotta figure out some way to move around easier here! Maybe if I do it like he did...." I thought to myself as I turned my body away from Cry and placed my hands together.

"As source of thy power, I order thee! Decipher the laws of nature and obliterate my target with a light that burns all shadows! Sparkling Heaven Star!" I shouted as I fired my huge beam of light from my hands. Like Cry, I propelled myself through the water and I was quickly coming up on him. 

"Expand! Giant Hand!" Cry shouted as I looked over my shoulder to see his right hand grow to massive proportions. It was easily 30x times its normal size and he reached out with it to grab me. However, thanks to the water, he was much slower than anticipated and I rammed into him before he could grab me. I pushed us across the reef and into another portal. We came out the other side and immediately, the temperature changed drastically. We started falling towards the ground and we both crashed about 20 feet apart in a sea of sand.

"Where are we now?" I questioned as we both got up at the same time. I took a brief look around and saw some structures in the distance. They were pyramids. 

"Welcome to Egypt! And over there is some of the greatest wonders on our planet! The pyramids of Giza!" Cry explained as he held out both of his hands and started creating an intense wind from them. 

"Given the fact this country is covered in mostly sand, it tends to have a multitude of sandstorms! Like so!" Cry shouted as his wind picked up the sand, making a wall of it come rushing for me. I became engulfed by the massive sandstorm and I could hardly see a thing anymore. There was so much sand in my eyes.

"I can't..... see..... anything..... Got to.... get out of here......" I said as Cry suddenly came flying into the sandstorm to land a hard punch to my face. I nearly fell over but I was able to keep my footing. However, with my vision heavily reduced now, I couldn't tell if Cry was still there or not.

"Blinding Light Whip!" I shouted as I made my whip once again, swinging it around to strike something. Anything. But, as I went for my swing, Cry seemed to catch it as it just stopped all of a sudden.

"You're coming over to me, now!" I heard him shout as he pulled me forward and out of the sandstorm. I fell over in front of him and used this brief moment to wipe some of the sand out of my eyes. Cry stood before me, about 10 feet away and he placed his left hand on the surface of the sand.

"Change composition! Liquify!" Cry shout as I suddenly began to sink into the sand around me. He had turned it into quicksand. I tried my best to break out but my lower body was stuck. I couldn't move it at all. If I didn't hurry, then this battle would be all over in just a few seconds.

"As source of thy power, I order thee! Decipher the laws of nature and create a creature that sores above even the heavens! Brilliant Flickering Falcon!" I roared as I raised my hands straight up to the sky and made a golden bird of light appear overhead. 

"I'm not letting you escape so easily!" Cry shouted as he raised up his right hand and started firing bolts of lightning at my creation. But, my falcon was too fast, even for lightning to catch it. It swooped down and grasped onto my hands with its talons. It pulled me out of the sinking sand pit and flew me straight for Cry. I pulled back both of my legs until I was right on him then shoved both of them into his face. I sent him sliding backwards along the sand but he was able to get back up as I landed with my falcon on my shoulder.

"You've gotta try a lot harder if you want to beat me." I told Cry as he cracked his neck. 

"Then I guess it's time I take things up a notch." Cry said as his diamond arm began to expand over his whole body, just as it did when he fought Alex. Soon enough, he was covered in a thick layer of diamond armor. 

"Just try and hurt me now!" Cry said as he smashed his fists together. 

"I plan to." I said as I began to make light appear on both my hands and legs. 

"Lightspeed boots and gauntlets!" I shouted as I started running at Cry again. My speed drastically increased tenfold and it caught Cry off guard. I was on him within a second and I threw a uppercut into his jaw that sent him flying up into the air. I didn't break his armor, but it was enough to know that it still hurt him. Cry flew through yet another portal and I jumped up to follow after him. When I emerged, we were now in a city. Like he explained before, there were no people around at all. It was just us here.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Cry said as I quickly surveyed my surroundings. What caught my eye most of all was an enormous metal tower standing above all other buildings around it. 

"It's called the Eiffel Tower. It resides within the city of Paris, in the country of France. One of the greatest man-made wonders in our world. I've always wanted to see it. And now, I can. And so can you, and everyone watching. I'm sure they're all going wild back in the stadium. But, I can tell it'll be a while 'til we go back there." Cry explained as I agreed with him. 

"Cut the chit chat and get on with it! We're here to fight! Not you giving me a tour guide!" I shouted as Cry let out a sigh.

"Alright, fine. I was just trying to be nice. But if that's how you want it, then I guess i'll just go along with your example!" Cry shouted as he leaped for me. I prepared myself to meet his attack but, moments before he was about to come in contact with me, he opened up a portal in between us and went into it. The portal closed and he disappeared. It didn't take long at all for him to reappear though as I felt a rock hard punch strike me in the back of my head. Cry sent me flying forward as I landed on my side. I got back up though and wiped off some blood from the back of my head. 

"That was a bit of a cheap trick, you know." I said as he chuckled a bit.

"A hero must do what they can to win. Sometimes, it means fighting dirty a bit." Cry said as he came running at me again. This time, I had to be prepared for an attack from any angle. But, I know Cry's intelligent, so he'd probably assume i'd think he'll come at me from behind again. So, I waited for a full frontal assault. I still had light on my hands and legs so I was ready to meet his attack.

"Open! Portals!" Cry shouted but, I noticed the veins within his body didn't start glowing this time. He was bluffing. He reeled back his now diamond left arm and threw his punch right at my face. But, I reached up and caught it with my right hand and held it there. 

"So, you figured out it was a lie, then. Not too bad at all!" Cry shouted as he threw another punch with his right arm now. But, like before, I caught it with my left hand and held it there. We entered a shoving match in which neither of us were backing down.

"There's..... a reason.... why I know.... you're not beating me...." I said to Cry as he tried to push back even harder, but I met him with the same strength. 

"And.... why's that?" He asked me as I began to tighten my grip on his right arm. 

"It's because..... I know your weakness!!!" I shouted as I began to crack the diamond. He looked shocked and tried to pull himself away from me, however, I was not letting go of him.

"Meteor Crush!!" Cry shouted as his veins began to glow this time. I knew what this attack of his did and I could already see the shadow of the meteor around us growing larger. It was coming down right on top of us. 

"What'll you do, Krystal!? You can let me go and take out that big meteor, or, keep holding me and take us both out! What's your call!?" Cry said as I gritted my teeth and let go of his hands. I then turned so I could blow away this meteor before it struck me. I brought my hands together and moved them to my right side. 

"As source of thy power, I order thee! Decipher the laws of nature and obliterate my target with a light that burns all shadows! Sparkling Heaven Star!" I roared as I thrusted my hands forward, unleashing my giant golden beam of light at my target. The meteor had come within a hundred feet of me by the time my attack collided with it. And, with my one shot, I blasted apart the meteor and sent pieces of it flying everywhere, with one small chunk nearly falling and hitting me. 

"That.... takes care.... of that..... now then...." I said as I went to turn around and face Cry. However, he was already right behind me and I saw his diamond armor was producing electricity. He landed a punch to my back and the shock was unreal. The sting from the volts was so immense that I let out a super high pitched scream as I was knocked down. I landed on my front and Cry proceeded to pin me down with his legs, leaving my arms free because he knew I couldn't reach him in this position. 

"You put up a hell of a fight, but this is over! You lose!" Cry shouted as I saw him raise up his right arm to prepare to strike me down. I quickly looked to my left and saw the piece of the meteor that landed near me. I reached out and grabbed onto it and then raised up my left arm behind me. As Cry was bringing his arm down, I was just able to smash the meteor piece against his head and knock him off of me. I got up and instantly turned to attack Cry, but, he was gone.

"It's just like before! When he used a portal to attack me from behind! Which means....." I thought as I quickly sidestepped to my right. Cry came crashing down next to me and landed hard on his feet, his diamond armor bring heavy enough for him to crater the ground we were standing on.

"I knew you'd try to pull that move again! But it won't work on me anymore! Now, take this!" I shouted as I threw a punch with my right arm and struck his left side. My one strike shattered the diamond armor over his left arm and a small portion of his chest.

"But how!? How the heck can one of those punches have so much force in them!?" Cry questioned as he looked genuinely surprised.

"When I cover one of my body parts in light, it fully gains the attribute, and that includes it speed. I may not move it at the same velocity, but each punch or kick I use hits you with the full force as if it was moving at lightspeed!" I shouted as I leaped towards Cry. I started to flip forward at him and I raised both of my legs above my head. 

"So that's how your power works! I've been curious all this time, but it's like you say! It's pure light, the strongest element! But, even light has its weaknesses! And i'll find a way to bring you down!" Cry roared as he crossed his arms above his head to block my attack. I swung my left leg down at him and struck his arms, his diamond right arm cracking just a bit more, but not enough to shatter. 

"It's still not enough!" Cry shouted as I then brought my other leg down.

"That's because I didn't go all out the first time!!!!" I roared as I brought my leg down and struck his right arm. With one mighty blow, his arm completely shattered into pieces. His veins glowed briefly afterwards and the remaining diamond armor on his body fell off of him, shattering to pieces like his arm did. Now, he had little options to attack and defend. 

"What will you do now? I just broke what allowed you to do so much. How will you fight me now, Cry!?" I asked him as he looked a little afraid of me. 

"Just because you took away my engine, that doesn't mean you've won! I'll just make a new one like yesterday!" He said as I cracked my knuckles. 

"Unless I don't give you the time to make one." I said as he looked to his right and saw a portal was sitting there. 

"Try for it, but just know you won't make it in time." I told him as he gave me a more nervous look now. I had backed him into a corner, like a fox trapping a rabbit. He was through. 

"You think you've won, but that's far from the truth! I'll still emerge victorious! I'll beat you right here and now!" Cry shouted as he came running at me. He pulled back his only arm to try and attack me but, when he threw his punch, I caught his fist easily. 

"Admit it. It's over." I said as I pushed back his hand and hit him with the back of it. I then kneed him in the gut with my left leg and made him hunch over. Cry collapsed onto the ground below me and rolled onto his back. I stepped down onto his chest with my right foot and pinned him there. I made sure I looked right into the camera on his chest with this next action. 

"Yield!" I demanded from him as he let out a heavy sigh. But, following it was a small chuckle. 

"Is something funny?" I asked him.

"Made you look...." Cry said as I suddenly felt a hand grab onto the top of my head and then grab my hair. It pulled me off of him and it allowed him to stand back up. I looked behind me but I saw no one there. I reached behind me and grabbed onto whatever was holding my hair. It felt like a rock and I ripped it away from me, tearing off some of my hair in the process. I then threw it forward and saw it was another diamond arm. Cry was controlling its movements like some sort of puppet. He then walked up to it and it attached to where his right arm should be. 

"I just needed to buy a little time and make another one. And ta-da! Good as new!" Cry said as he showed it off to me.

"Damn it..... Just when I thought I had him beat as well. Guess I should never underestimate an opponent ever." I thought to myself as Cry covered his body in his diamond armor once again. He then raised his right hand up into the air and the veins within his body began to glow yellow this time. The clouds above us gathered together and started rumbling. I knew what was coming next. 

"Raging Black Bolt!!!!" Cry shouted as he brought his arm down and pointed at me. An enormous black lightning bolt came crashing down from the sky and I went to block it by raising my arms straight up into the air. The bolt struck my light gauntlets but my power far exceeded any lightning bolt. The attack dissipated after a few moments and I brushed it off like it was nothing but dust on my shoulder.

"Okay, didn't quite see that one coming...." Cry said as, by now, i'd had enough. It was time for me to finally end this fight with something that not even he could defeat.

"Everyone watching us through these cameras on us are about to watch as I bring you down with my ultimate spell!" I said as I began to pool every mana particle within my body together.

"You're going for that move you used to beat Midoriya, aren't you!? Well, I won't let you! Ultimate move: Absolute Mass Hammer!!!" Cry shouted as his right arm began to vibrate wildly. He came running at me as I began to chant my most powerful spell. This was it. This spell drains all my magic at once in exchange for unmatched power. If this doesn't work, then it's all over for me. 

"As source of thy power, I order thee! Decipher the laws of creation and imbue me with the very essence of light itself! Mana Body: Lightspeed Warrior!!!!" I shouted as my mana expanded through my body, turning me into the element of light. Cry went to throw his monumental punch at me but I was effortlessly able to avoid it. I could now move at the speed of light itself, meaning everything around me looks like it doesn't move at all. I simply walked around Cry to stand behind him. When I stopped, he sped up for me again and nearly fell over from using his attack. He turned around to look at me standing there, a shining figure of light.

"Even I've got to admit, I've never had to face something that moves at lightspeed before. So, I say it's time to find out if I can compete in that sort of league! No matter how fast you are, i'm still not going to lose!!!" Cry roared as he came running at me again. But, even he must know that it's no use now. I walked again right up to him as his body slowed to a crawl. I stopped when I was right next to his right side and he sped up again. He noticed I moved instantly and, in the corner of his eye, saw I was standing to his right. I reeled back my right arm and threw a punch with all my might right into his diamond arm. It shattered into dust this time, but something strange also occurred. Cry himself also shattered into dust. 

"What happened!? My magic's not supposed to do that!?" I said with worry as the dust that was Cry then vanished completely, like it was some sort of illusion. 

"Relax, Krystal. That wasn't really me. I just had to buy some time so I could make my new arm, that's all." I heard Cry said as I turned around to see him standing there. 

"What!? How!? You were....?" I began to ask but he stopped me. 

"It's simple. When my first replacement arm grabbed onto your head and took away your attention from me, I used that moment to make a copy of myself. It fought you for a bit until I could make a second arm form myself, as you can see." Cry said as he raised up his new diamond arm. 

"And, watching you fight my copy, it gave me an idea of what to use to beat you. Something new to even me! If you use light, then i'll just have to use darkness! Dark Body: Black Knight Armor!!!" Cry shouted as his whole body became encased in a black force. It wasn't like Ayuma's demonic form, more like what he said. It's a layer of armor. In fact, it looks just like the form i'm n right now. I'm pure light, and he's pure darkness.

"The speed of light and the speed of darkness. The two are practically one and the same. Time to find out which is truly the strongest!!!" Cry shouted as he started running at me like normal. I began to walk around him like I would and his movements slowed to a crawl like before. I walked behind him and prepared to strike him by pulling back my left arm. 

"Nice try!!" Cry suddenly shouted as he started moving again. He turned and grabbed onto my face and pushed me down onto the ground. 

"But how!? How can he move too!? Can darkness keep up with the speed of light!?" I thought as I punched Cry in the face. I was expecting my punch to send him flying but he barely even flinched. 

"Looks like an element that moves at the same frequency as light isn't affected by it too much!" Cry said as I tried a different move this time. 

"Glimmering Flash Pellets!" I shouted as I made hundreds of balls of light appear above Cry. All at once I sent them crashing down onto his back. He was bombarded by the attacks and I forced him off of me. 

"Looks like enough light will still hurt darkness! Now, here I come!!" I shouted as I started running at him this time. He was able to move the entire time I was moving, meaning he could keep up with my monstrous speed. I started flying at him and I grabbed onto his face, taking him with me as we flew through another portal. We came out above an active volcano and we flew down towards its crater. 

"If my light isn't enough, then what will the strongest force on the planet do to you!!??" I roared as I threw Cry with all my might into the volcano. He crashed down right into the pool of lava below as I floated down and landed at the edge of the crater. 

"Where are you? I know that this won't be enough to keep you down. So just come back out already!" I shouted as Cry did just that. He came rising out of the lava, shielding himself inside a bubble which then popped. 

"Sorry, but i'd rather not be roasted alive today! Now, as thanks for nearly killing me, I think i'll blow away all that light you've become so proud of! Dark Body Dragon Strike!" Cry roared as, appearing and wrapping around his right arm was a miniature dragon, the same as Ayuma's but only black. He was using her technique against me. 

"Alex may have some abilities that are out of my reach, but even this one that Ayuma uses is strong enough to best any foe with enough might. Now, let's see what it does to you!!" Cry shouted he flew for me with his full speed. 

"Mana Body: Grand Light Gauntlet!" I shouted as a shining golden glove appeared over my left hand. I flew for Cry with my full speed as well as we collided. The force of our attacks created a shock wave so powerful and massive that it caused the volcano we were on to erupt. We fought at the edge of its crater as lava spewed everywhere. But, neither of us were backing down as we couldn't push each other back. The lava around us was beginning to fall above us and, if we didn't move soon, then we'd both die.

"Looks like it's time to take a little trip!! And I know just the place!!! So..... let's.... GO!!!!" Cry shouted as he dropped his right arm, making me stumble forward with my momentum. He then grabbed onto my other arm and started pulling me with him into the air. He flew us threw another portal and, when we came out the other side, the sight I took in with my own eyes was simply amazing. 

"We're..... in space....." I said as Cry let go of me and flew about 30 feet away. We were both floating near the sun itself and to my right was the earth we had been fighting on. 

"What better place to end this grand battle of our than next to the very thing that started it all!!!" Cry said, pointing at the sun. 

"His power to warp reality.... to think it gives him the power to even make his own separate universe..... it's undeniable..... he's in his own league, far exceeding anyone...." I thought to myself as I turned to face him and then cracked my knuckles and neck. 

"Except for me!" I shouted as we both simultaneously flew for one another. We both threw a multitude of punches at one another, landing blow after blow, jab after jab, each hurting more than the last. But, all things must come to an end eventually. And it began to right now. As I started flying for Cry once again, the light of my body began to dim. 

"No! I'm running out of mana!" I thought to myself as I stopped flying and instead, quickly started to charge up one final attack.

"As source of thy power, I order thee! Decipher the laws of creation and create a burning light that blows away all forms of darkness! Mana Body: Mighty Solar Flare!!!!" I roared as I jettisoned all of the light energy my body had left into a huge blast of light. I became the sun itself with this attack and I engulfed Cry within my bright light. I heard him scream in pain as I amped up my power, giving it everything I had.

"I'LL WIN..... AND THEN TOGETHER..... WE'LL SAVE OUR WORLDS!!!!!" I cried as the last of my mana left my body. My light disappeared and I was left floating in space, my body turned back to normal and feeling like I could barely move. 

"It's over..... I've-" I started to say as I saw something move very far out in the distance. I wanted to break down into tears when Cry flew to me and stopped mere feet from my body. His armor was melting off of him, meaning my last ditch effort spell worked at beating the darkness he was using. However, it didn't keep him down. 

"I'm sorry it has to be this way, Krystal. But, from when I watched you face Midoriya, I know that spell of yours uses every piece of magic that's left in your body. Which means, you're all out now. You can't fight back anymore. I know you don't want to hear this.... but it's over. You've lost." Cry said to me with a mix of a serious and sad tone as he floated over and grabbed onto me with his hands. 

"No..... I'm done.... when I say..... i'm done....." I quietly said as Cry looked at me with concern. 

"What'd you say?" He asked me. 

"I haven't lost yet..... i'll fight..... until I die..... and.... I know just how to beat you now!!!!" I shouted as I raised up my right leg and kicked off of him. I flew away from Cry and right into the sun itself. The extreme heat was so intense but I had to endure it for as long as I possibly could. 

"I may be out of magic.....but please..... even if it's only for a moment..... GRANT ME YOUR POWER!!!!!" I screamed at I held my arms out and attempted to absorb the light within the sun. 

"AS SOURCE OF THY POWER, I ORDER THEE!!!! DECIPHER THE LAWS OF REALITY ITSELF AND GRANT ME THE POWER THAT HAS BROUGHT LIFE TO THE VERY UNIVERSE IN WHICH EVERYTHING RESIDES!!!!!" I roared as I began to take in the vast energy within the sun. The amount of light I absorbed was so immense that my previous mana body form felt like I was a baby crawling on the ground. This was the true power of light itself, and it was all mine. I flew out of the sun and stopped when I reappeared. 

"With the power that the sun has gifted me, I will not lose ever again!!!! Universe Mana Body: Grand Golden Valkyrie!!!!" I shouted as the light from the sun turned into a shining golden armor on my body. 

"THERE'S NO WAY!!!! WHAT YOU JUST DID SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE!!! YOU SHOULD BE DEAD AFTER GOING INTO THE SUN!!!!" Cry said with utter disbelief as a golden fire radiated from my very eyes. And I was locked right onto Cry with all my brilliant fury.

"WELL, WHETHER YOU SURVIVED OR NOT, IT WON'T MATTER!!!! YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BEAT ME!!!! DARK BODY: BLACK KNIGHT ARMOR!!!!" Cry shouted as his dark armor appeared over his body once again. He came flying for me and he reeled back his left arm to strike me. I simply floated there and waited for him to get close. And, when he threw his punch, I reached up and caught it, instantly stopping all of his momentum. 

"Your darkness can't match me anymore. Now, begone!" I shouted as the light of my armor began to burn off the dark armor he was wearing.

"No!!!! There's no way..... you're this..... strong!!!!!!" Cry said as he tried to pry himself loose from my grip. But, I held him with all my strength, meaning he wasn't getting away from me. 

"Believe it. Nothing you do now can beat me. So give up before I embarrass you." I told him as he grew angry. 

"Nothing I do will hurt you, you say!? Well, what about this!!!????" Cry screamed as he held out his right hand into space and then gestured as if he threw something at me. And then, in the distance behind him, flying over the earth was another planet. I let go of Cry as this matter was much more serious than any he's tried to use before. 

"An entire planet truly has the power to become a great concern to me, but against the might of the sun, your planet is a mere insect!!! Now, watch it burn!!!" I roared as I thrusted my right hand forward and made an intense white flame around it. That flame flew forward at the incoming planet and expanded so large it engulfed the planet and burned it away until absolutely nothing was left.

"A meaningless effort." I said as Cry came flying at me from my right. 

"Absolute Mass Hammer!!! Maximum Output!" He screamed as his arm was vibrating even greater than before when he'd use this technique. He threw his punch and struck me right in the face, sending me flying through space. But, I was able to stop myself and reposition myself so i'd face him again.

"That last attack.... I actually felt it this time...." I said as I spit out a tooth from my mouth. 

"It one of my strongest. Normally, I use the bare minimum for that attack with an output of 200 tons of TNT. But, at maximum, it gains the strength of an atomic bomb. One of the strongest weapons on earth. Some powerful enough to destroy countries." Cry explained as I understood why his hit felt so strong. 

"It is indeed impressive the strength you possess. But, in the face of what gave life to your solar system, everything pales in comparison to the sun!" I shouted as Cry gritted his teeth and held up his right arm. 

"We shall see....." He said as his entire arm began to glow with the same intense white light it had when he fought Alex. 

"Your ultimate attack?" I asked as he gave me a stern nod. 

"This attack is as it says. I attack with the power of an exploding star. I've never met anyone or anything who's bested its power, and you're not going to be the first. Try as you might, but this is where the battle ends. I'll emerge victorious and you'll face a crushing defeat." Cry said as the light on his arm grew even brighter than before. 

"If you're truly using everything you have left, then I shall as well. This final exchange will decide the winner once and for all!!!! Here I come, Cry!!!! SUN GODDESS!!!! RADIANT LIGHTBRINGER!!!!" I roared as my entire body burst into brilliant golden flames. 

"ONE FINAL STRIKE!!! THAT'S ALL THIS COMES DOWN TO!!!! ONE SHALL STAND!!!! AND ONE SHALL FALL!!!!" We both simultaneously screamed as we flew for one another. We both pulled back our right arms and prepared for impact. 

"ALMIGHTY SUPERNOVA!!!!!" Cry howled with pure determination. 

"LIGHT OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!" I roared as we threw our final attacks. 

Our fists made contact and then..... everything began to fall apart. The intense shock waves we made from our attacks literally blew away everything around us. The planets, the sun, the stars, everything was disappearing. And, even more so, a loud cracking sound was starting to echo around us. Reality itself was breaking and, after just a few seconds, it shattered. 

The world and portals Cry made for us to fight in broke apart and the two of us reappeared in U.A's stadium, both of us still attacking with everything we had. 

"AND JUST LIKE THAT, THEY'RE BOTH BACK BEFORE OUR VERY EYES!!!! THIS BATTLE'S BEEN OFF THE CHARTS SINCE THE BEGINNING, BUT EVEN NOW, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!!!! IT'S SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!!!! AMAZING!!!! DOWN RIGHT MIND BOGGLING!!!!! AND IT'S TOO CLOSE TO CALL!!!!!" Present Mic screamed as the entire crowd roared both of our names. 

"CRY!!!!! KRYSTAL!!!!!" Everyone screamed as me and Cry roared at the top of our lungs, trying to get that one last push to beat the other. 

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" We both screamed as, with all the strength we could muster, we both gave that final push. 

"I WANT TO BE A HERO MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE!!!!! I'LL WIN..... AND BECOME ONE..... AND I'LL PROTECT EVERYONE..... IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!!" Cry howled. 

"I MAY NOT BE A HERO LIKE AYUMA.... BUT SHE LET ME JOIN HER..... SHE SAW POTENTIAL WITHIN ME..... TO BECOME SOMEONE LIKE HER..... I'M NO CARDINAL HERO..... BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T BE A HERO AT ALL!!!!!!!!" I screamed. 

This battle of ours had finally reached its climax. Both of us going beyond our limits to put the other down. Something..... anything had to give..... and it did. As we both gave it one last push, a cracking sound could be heard throughout the stadium. It was Cry's diamond arm. It was breaking apart from the force of our attacks. 

"NO!!!! I REFUSE TO GIVE UP!!!! I'LL BEAT YOU BEFORE IT BREAKS!!!!" Cry shouted. 

"YOU'LL NEVER WIN!!!!! MY LIGHT..... IS THE VERY LIGHT..... THAT SHINES DOWN ON THIS WORLD!!!!! IT'S THE LIGHT..... THAT CREATED THE VERY HEAVENS!!!!! AND NO FORCE IN EXISTENCE...... CAN DEFEAT IT!!!!!!!!!!!" I roared as I pushed one final time. 

With that last bit of strength in my attack, Cry's arm shattered completely and I drove my roaring fist right into his face. I drove his head into the floor of the stadium battlefield and everything ended with a colossal explosion that was sent even above the clouds. The whole stadium filled with smoke and everyone was left to wonder if the battle was indeed finally over. 

-POV: Third Person-

"WHAT HAPPENED!!!????? I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING DOWN THERE!!!!! IS IT OVER!!?? DID SOMEBODY WIN!!???" Present Mic questioned as Wrath Queen took over. 

"If anyone's down there, we'll need you to blow away all this smoke so we can determine what happened!" She yelled into her microphone. Sure enough, the official used his wind quirk to blow away the smoke. And, when it was all cleared, both combatants came into view. All cameras within the stadium zoomed in on them and viewed them on the big TV screen. 

Krystal stood above Cry who was laying on his back, a fist mark embedded on the right side of his face. He was still conscious and looking up at his opponent who looked down at him with her fists still ready to fight if he could keep going. Cry's right diamond arm was gone and his whole body was covered in bruises and was bleeding from several parts, as was the same with Krystal.

Cry attempted to make something with his quirk, but, as hard as he tried, he just couldn't muster up the strength to make anything. He needed absolute focus to create things and, with his body so badly damaged, it was impossible for him to do so. And so, he rested his head back against the ground and gave one last look to Krystal. 

"Alright..... You..... Win....." Cry said with pain in his voice as the entire crowd erupted in cheers. 

"THAT'S IT!!!!! IT'S ALL OVER!!!!! THE GREATEST FINAL BATTLE IN U.A SPORTS FESTIVAL HISTORY HAS FINALLY COME TO AN END!!!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!" Wrath Queen screamed into her microphone as Krystal suddenly took a deep breath before collapsing onto her back, nearly fainting in the process. She used up all her magic and the energy the sun had given her to win. Her body went beyond its own limit and she went far past exhausting herself. She couldn't even move a muscle now.

"Hey...." Cry said to her as they both tried to raise their heads up to look at one another. 

"What..... do you want?" Krystal asked him. 

"That was.... a great fight..... let's do it.... again..... sometime...." Cry said as he did his best to give her a smile. She did the same and gave him a simple nod as an answer. 

"One more thing..... the truth is.... we were going... to lend you our aid.... no matter what happened......" Cry said to her as she suddenly looked surprised. 

"What did.... you just say?" She asked him. 

"Well, we're a world..... of heroes, aren't we? If someone's asking..... for help, then.... we'll help them..... we just wanted..... to see what you were all.... capable of so we'd..... know what we were..... getting into....." Cry explained as Krystal rested her head back. It was finally over. She came out on top and ensured her and her team returned to Melromarc victorious.

"FIGHT AFTER FIGHT!!! BATTLE AFTER BATTLE!!! BRAWL AFTER BRAWL!!!! IT'S FINALLY COME TO AN END IN THE MOST CLIMACTIC AND INTENSE FIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF THIS FREAKIN' PLANET!!! LET IT BE KNOWN AROUND THE WORLD!!!!! WE HAVE A NEW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!! THE KING HAS BEEN SLAIN!!!! AND THE QUEEN EMERGES ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!!!! WITNESS THE BIRTH OF A TRUE CHAMPION!!! AND HER NAME..... IS KRYSTAL!!!!!" Present Mic wailed throughout the stadium as everyone cheered Krystal's name. 

But, as the celebration had only just begun, it was cut short when a beam of light came crashing down in the centre of the stadium between the two exhausted combatants. And, when the dust cleared, a nightmare stood before the heroes. 

"Hello, everyone!!!! Sorry to interrupt but we're just making a quick stop!!! Now then, could someone here please tell me where I can find a girl named Ayuma!?" L'arc shouted to the crowd as he and Therese appeared before us with both Itsuki and Filo in chains at their feet. 

"What.... are you two... doing here!? And what.... have you done.... to Filo... and Itsuki!?" Krystal asked them with anger as she tried to move. But, having blown through everything she had, she could not move even a single inch. 

"Nothing yet, kiddo. Nice job on the win, by the way. We were watching the whole thing. No, we've only come for Ayuma, and then we'll be on our way. We'll release Filo and then we'll be gone, plain and simple." L'arc explained to Krystal.

"WHO THE HECK ARE THESE TWO NEW PEOPLE AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH PREVIOUS FIGHTERS ITSUKI AND FILO!!?? AND WHAT COULD THEY POSSIBLY WANT WITH AYUMA!!??" Present Mic questioned. 

"We're like Ayuma and the others, from another world. But one that is different from theirs. And, it is our duty to slay the cardinal heroes of their world, and that means both Itsuki and Ayuma. Give us Ayuma, we'll leave with her and Itsuki, and then no one here has to get hurt." Therese explained. 

"You..... You have no right to be here....." Cry said as he ever so slowly pushed himself up to his feet. He still couldn't use his quirk but he was at least able to find the strength to stand. 

"And why is that, kiddo?" L'arc asked him. 

"You let those two go..... or i'll show you.... what we heroes.... are really made of....." Cry tried to say with a voice that sounded like he might die. 

"What a hero is really made of, eh? Well, i'll be honest, if you could actually do anything right now, then you'd might actually be intimidating. But I saw everything. You wasted all your energy and still lost your fight and now you can't do a single thing. I have no reason to be afraid of you or your overpowered Quirk." L'arc explained as Cry brought back his left arm. 

"NO!! DON'T DO IT!!!" Krystal screamed as Cry threw a light punch right into L'arc's face. 

"Then so be it...." L'arc said as he pulled out his scythe and impaled Cry through his chest with his blade. 

"Just know that you're the one who attacked first, kiddo!" L'arc said as he pulled out his blade and watched as Cry collapsed to the ground in front of him.

"NOOOOOOO!!!" Krystal screamed in terror. Cry was still breathing, but, with a hole in his chest he wouldn't last much longer.

"We know you're going to ally with these other heroes, and if you were to live, someone like you would be a major thorn in our side. Sorry, kiddo, but it's lights out for you!" L'arc shouted as he readied his scythe to kill Cry. But, as he was about to bring it down, the stadium filled with the sound of glass shattering. 

L'arc swung his scythe down at Cry and, just as he was about to kill him, dust filled the area and made it too difficult to see what happened. But, when it cleared, to everyone's relief, Cry was still alive. And, standing in between him and L'arc was Wrath Queen herself holding on the blade of L'arc's scythe with a death grip and literal fire in her eyes. 

"I may be a hero in this world, but you're going to die for trying to kill my son!"

This marks the end of the chapter but i'll leave an image below for those of you who are curious as to what Wrath Queen looks like! She and Cry are the only two OC's I made for my MHA series and I feel I haven't given nearly enough love to her as I did her son, Cry. So, next chapter, she's getting her moment to shine! It's gonna be great so look forward to it!
