Alright, all three worlds now have their missions! Ren's team has been put into the fray right off the bat, just like Naofumi's team, and things are sure to get intense very soon. However, i'm letting you all know that i'm making a change to the arc schedule. Ayu and Naofumi's teams will have the regular 3 chapters before they switch, but Ren's will only have 2. The reason is because his team is gonna have a shorter time in their world than all the rest. Now, that means we're back to Ayu's team. Some time will have gone by in their world, and, I've decided that we're gonna skip over the entire first round and move on  to the top 16. I'll let you know all the combatants who are still left too. Now, let's get back into their story. Enjoy!

-POV: Ayuma-

"And that does it folks! With that last battle coming to an end, we now have our top 16 and we'll be moving onto the one-on-one battles! Now, in case you missed any of the fights, whether you be watching in the stadium or on your television, here's who we've got left in the competition!" Present Mic announced as the big tv screen in the arena brought up the bracket and displayed our next match-ups. 

Match 1: Itsuki vs. Todoroki

Match 2: Ayuma vs. Kirishima

Match 3: Tokoyami vs. Krystal

Match 4: Midoriya vs. Filo

Match 5: Alex vs. Yaoyorozu

Match 6: Bakugo vs. Kendo

Match 7: Uraraka vs. Cry

Match 8: Shiozaki vs. Tetsutetsu

"I was able to make it through my first match with only a few scrapes and bruises, but I had to go to the infirmary afterward so I could be healed. I wasn't able to see what this Kirishima person was capable of or what his quirk was. Which means, i'll be going in blind like before. I'll admit, the two students I faced in my first match were more skilled than I thought, which means there's no way any of us can breeze through this competition." I thought to myself as I sat with everyone from my team on our balcony. 

In terms of our advancement, 5 out of the 7 of us went on to the next round. Only Rein and Claire didn't make it, but they each had incredibly difficult opponents first round. Rein had to face off against a student named Kaibara who had a quirk called "Gyrate," and, he had to face one of U.A's big three, the one named Midoriya. His quirk granted him an immense boost in speed and strength, making him so fast he was like a blur. And, as for Claire, she had to face a student named Mina, who had an acid quirk, but she was the least of her worries. Her other opponent was Cry. His reality quirk was simply incredible that she couldn't even hold a candle to him. 

But, we still have more than half our team in the competition. We still have a chance to win this whole thing. And, if Itsuki can win his next match, that'll make a statement of exactly what all of us are made of. He's against one of the big three in his match. The one named Todoroki. He uses both fire and ice, and Itsuki's been thinking of all possible strategies to use against him since he knew he'd be facing him. He's been having a really tough time since Todoroki's quirk blends together offense and defense so perfectly. Hell, even I'd have a tough time against a quirk like his.

"Alright all you roaring sports festival fans! Are you ready to begin our second round of amazing fights!?" Present Mic asked the crowd as they responded with an explosion of "YES!"

"Sounds like they're on board, Mic, and i'm on board too! Let's get things under way and begin round 2!" Wrath Queen announced as the crowd got even more hyped up. 

"Woohoo! Let's get this party started! Can the two combatants in our first match please make their way to the battlefield!" Mic shouted as Itsuki left us all to go and face Todoroki. 

"Good luck, Itsuki. If you win this match, it'll make a statement that we're not just trying to get these students to fight for us. They'll see we can defend ourselves with our own power, and not just have to rely on them." I thought to myself as we waited for both combatants to enter the arena. 

"First up! He blew everyone away in the opening match of the sports festival, and i'm sure he'd like to keep his win streak red hot! One of the exchange students, hailing all the way from the country of France, it's Itsuki Kawasumi!" Mic announced as we watched him walk through his entrance. He didn't wave back to the crowd, nor did he move his head at all. He was just looking forward to the battlefield, awaiting his opponent. He was focused. 

"And now, this students powered his way through his first match, but can he beat the exchange student with the windy fists!? From class 3-A, U.A's big three, and son of the current number one hero, it's Shoto Todoroki!" Wrath Queen announced as he walked over to the battlefield. He had the same gaze as Itsuki did. Both were only concerned about the person in front of them right now.

"Let's not waste any time here! 3.... 2.... 1..... BEGIN!!!!!" Mic shouted as the starting buzzer went off. Todoroki was the one to make the first move. From his right foot, huge ice spikes began to shoot out of the ground and were making their way over to Itsuki. 

"I knew you'd start off with your ice! Now, Shooting Star Blaster!" Itsuki shouted as he created a blue and orange ball of sparking flames in his right hand. He threw it forward and it collided with the ice, making a massive explosion that decimated the remaining ice Todoroki had created. 

"I knew my wind wouldn't be enough to smash your ice, so I had to go with a more powerful attack. Luckily, that attack hits with the force of a meteor. Plenty of strength to crush some measly ice." Itsuki said as Todoroki let out a quick chuckle. 

"It seems you've thought this fight through quite a few times to think about that. But no matter what strategy, speed, or power you possess, you won't beat me." Todoroki said to him. 

"We'll see about that. High Wind Slash!" Itsuki shouted as he fired off a whirling wind from both his fists. It was ripping its way over to Todoroki but he didn't move an inch. 

"Predictable." Todoroki said as he started making flames appear on the left side of his upper body. He reached out his left arm and fired off an enormous channel of fire which collided with Itsuki's wind. The resulting impact created an updraft followed by a tornado that nearly covered the entire battlefield. 

"Now's my chance! Secret weapon time!" Itsuki shouted as we watched him run straight into the flaming tornado. 

"Is he crazy!? He'll be burned alive in there!" Alex shouted. But, Itsuki was doing what he could to try and impress those who were watching. He proving how strong he is. And, if he thinks that he can power through a tornado, then i'll believe he can as well.

"Thunder Hammer!" Itsuki shouted as he came leaping out of the tornado, right in front of Todoroki. The entire upper half of his training jacket had burned away, but that wasn't important right now. He had reeled back his right fist and was making electricity spark from it. 

"You can use electricity too!?" Todoroki said in surprise as Itsuki threw his punch right at him. Todoroki made some ice appear over his body as Itsuki struck him. He shattered the ice and made Todoroki slide backwards on his feet a bit. But, it wasn't far enough to make him go out of bounds. The ice must've softened the blow.

"Tell me this, Todoroki. Was that predictable?" Itsuki asked him. 

"I'll admit, it wasn't. It seems you and that other exchange student, the one named Ayuma are capable of multiple abilities. You're just like Cry. But, at the same time, neither of you hold a candle to him. He's my rival and no one else. You're just another stepping stone for me to surpass him." Todoroki said he suddenly started making more ice shoot out of the ground. Itsuki jumped back before he could be struck but his left foot got caught and froze in place within the ice. He was stuck. 

"No, damn it. I'll just have to smash this apart!" Itsuki said as he took his lightning charged fist and hit the ice. But, it didn't shatter. In fact, it barely even cracked. 

"The ice my quirk produces isn't like your typical ice. It's much more dense and thick, meaning it takes much more than the average force to break it. You were obviously unaware, which means you were just lucky to have smashed it apart at the beginning of the match." Todoroki said to him but it looked like Itsuki didn't care. 

"Lightning Bolt Barrage!" Itsuki shouted as he thrusted his right arm forward, firing off three quick bolts of electricity right at Todoroki. In return, Todoroki made an ice wall appear in front of him to easily block the attack. 

"Shooting Star Blaster!" Itsuki shouted as he used his meteor flames to break apart the ice that was trapping him. 

"Just like I thought." Todoroki said as, from behind the ice wall, he started firing his flames, melting through it. In no time, his flames burst through the ice and collided with Itsuki.

"High...... Wind...... Field!" Itsuki shouted from within the flames as he suddenly blew them all away. His body was a bit charred but he managed to break through Todoroki's powerful attack. We saw he made what looked like a shield of wind form around his body. 

"Your flames can't touch me now, so bring it on." Itsuki said as Todoroki started smiling. 

"Looks like you're full of surprises. I like that. Show me what else you can do!" Todoroki said as he made another ice wall appear in front of him, only this one was much taller. He then made it fall over right onto Itsuki. 

"I've come here to support the people back in my home land, but that doesn't mean I have my own reasons right now! There's someone I want to face. To show them i'm not a weakling! If I win, and they win the next match, then i'll have my chance to prove to them I can hold my own! That I can protect! So, I cannot lose here!" Itsuki shouted as the wind surrounding his body turned into his meteor flames. He'd engulfed his whole body. 

"Comet Body: Shooting Star Impact!" Itsuki roared as he delivered an immense uppercut to the ice wall which smashed it to pieces.

"When did he learn that technique!?" I questioned as Rein began laughing. 

"Me and his other party members put him through loads of training while we traveled across Melromarc. But, this ability he's using now has always been difficult for him to use. But, it looks like his determination's made it so he can actually use it." He explained as Itsuki charged for Todoroki.

"It won't matter if I just freeze you in place!" Todoroki said as he created an ice floor below him and Itsuki. Itsuki's lower body began to freeze and the ice was quickly moving up his body. His movements were slowing and, soon enough, he was frozen solid. But, his flames were still burning inside. We could hear the ice beginning to melt and crack already. 

"I figured that wouldn't hold you, so I hope that buys me enough time to finish this fight!" Todoroki said as he ignited his entire left half of his body in blue flames.

"Hotter! More fire!" He shouted as more and more flames were shooting out of him.

"Hurry up, Itsuki! Get out of that ice before he finishes charging!" Krystal shouted to him as he burst out of the ice. 

"Your ice can't effect me when i'm like this!" Itsuki shouted as Todoroki reached out his left arm. 

"Then let's see what my flames can do at their maximum! Ultimate Move: Nova Flare!" Todoroki roared as he unleashed a colossal wall of blue fire right at Itsuki. 

"I will not be done in by someone like you! Ayuma's waiting for me! I have to show her i'm not weak!" Itsuki cried as the flames engulfed him. But, we could see he was slowly walking through them and getting closer to Todoroki. 

"It's still not enough!? Then i'll just go even hotter! More flames!" Todoroki shouted as his flames turned violet. 

"I WILL NOT LOSE!!!!!" Both of them roared as the flames surrounding Itsuki began to encircle around him, making a huge ball of fire on the battlefield. And, after engulfing the entire battlefield, a massive explosion filled the arena. 

"Holy Crap! These two are truly insane! We knew what Todoroki was capable of, but who would've though he'd meet such an opposing opponent early on!? These two nearly blew up the entire stadium!" Present Mic shouted in awe as we waited for the smoke in the arena to clear. 

"That match truly was a spectacle to behold. whoever comes out on top, both of these boys deserve to move on. Honestly, it's sad to say that only one of them can." Wrath Queen said as I agreed with her. 

"Itsuki..... whether you won or lost this battle, you've already shown me that you're not weak. You don't have to fight me to prove it. And, if you did lose, then at least know that i'm.... no, we're all proud of you." I thought to myself as one of the officials who had a wind quirk of their own blew away the smoke to reveal that the battlefield was in pieces. 

"Sounds like no one's fighting down there, which means we must have a winner! Now, who could it be!?" Mic said as everyone tried to focus on the battlefield. The first to appear was Todoroki. The left portion of his training jacket had been burned off by his flames and he was down on his knees, breathing very heavily from exhaustion. And shortly after, Itsuki appeared. He was in the centre of the broken battlefield, laying on his back, his body smoking from all the fire. His eyes were a blank white and he wasn't moving at all. The fight was indeed over. 

"After an incredible display of determination and willpower, we finally have a winner! Shoto Todoroki advances to the next round!" Wrath Queen announced as the crowd went nuts for him, chanting his name. 

"No..... not bow guy." Filo said, sounding sad. 

"Hey, don't worry, Filo. He tried his best and came pretty close to winning. And besides, there's till four of us left in the competition. We still have a good chance of winning." I said as she grew a little happier.

Medics rushed out onto the battlefield with stretchers to carry both combatants away to the infirmary. Everyone from my team got up so they could go see Itsuki but I stayed in place. 

"Ayuma, aren't you coming to see if Itsuki's alright?" Krystal asked me as I shook my head. 

"I know he'll be alright. It's Itsuki, after all. And besides, i'm in the next match. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to see him. So, could you pass a message along to him from me?" I asked her as Krystal gave me a nod. 

"Thank you. Tell him how strong I thought he looked out there. Ad tell him that i'm proud at what he's done." I said as Krystal gave me a nod before running to catch up to everyone else. 

"Alright. It's my turn next. Itsuki was able to show me how powerful that Todoroki guy is too during his fight. Which means, if I beat my next opponent, i'll have to face Todoroki's power as well." I said to myself as I got up to head to my entrance. It wouldn't take them long to repair the battlefield, so I figured i'd make my way down and prepare myself. 

"Alright, sports festival fans! The battlefield's been fixed right up and now it's time we move on to our second match of the top 16!" Present Mic announced as the crowd cheered with him. 

"That's right! So let's bring out our second pair of fighters!" Wrath Queen said as I stood at the gate of my entrance, just waiting for my name to be called. 

"First up! She came all the way from the United States to show just what she's made of! And, with a quirk that gives her more powers than she can count, i'd say she's done a pretty good job so far! The princess of power! The beauty of battle! It's Ayuma Saruwatari!" Mic introduced as I entered the arena. It sure was intimidating having so many eyes watching me at once, but with everything i'd gone through up until now, it was easy to shrug it off. 

"And her opponent! Also from class 3-A like Todoroki, he managed to bulldoze his way through round one! With a manly heart as hard as his quirk, he's planning on outlasting every combatant in the competition! It's Eijiro Kirishima!" Wrath Queen announced as my opponent walked into the arena. Kirishima was about my height, and he had red eyes, sharp looking teeth, and spiky looking red hair. 

"You had some pretty impressive moves in your first match, Ayuma. It's sure to make things interesting for the both of us." Kirishima said as he walked over and held out his left hand. I reached out with my own and shook hands with him as we also exchanged smiles.

"I wasn't able to see your first match because I was in the infirmary getting healed, but just because I don't know what you can do, don't think i'll lose to you." I said to him as we tightened our grips on each others hands before suddenly letting go. Kirishima walked over to his side of the battlefield and took a ready position. I did the same as we waited for the fight to start. 

"Looks like both fighters are ready to battle! So let's get this party started! 3.... 2.... 1..... BEGIN!!!!!" Mic roared as the starting buzzer went off. Both of us instantly started charging for each other, but I was determined to make the first strike. 

"Fiery Stance: Flaming Fist Formation!" I shouted as I clapped my hands together, creating flames on both of them. 

"It may not be as intense and massive as Todoroki's, but let's see how you handle my flames!" I shouted as I threw a punch right for Kirishima's face. I struck him right away but he didn't flinch whatsoever. In fact, I could feel an intense pain starting to course through my hand and arm after I hit him. I pulled my hand back and saw my knuckle was bleeding. 

"That's now gonna work on me." Kirishima said as I got a better look at him now. His body had changed. His skin...... it almost looked like it turned to rock. This must be his quirk. 

"My quirk lets me harden my entire body. It's the perfect defense. And..... it works as a good offense too!" Kirishima shouted as he now threw a punch at me. He hit me right in the gut and sent me sliding backwards on my feet. But, I was able to stay standing, but that punch really hurt. I'm sure his strength increases too when he's hardened up like that. 

"Ayuma's attempt to finish Kirishima off quickly has failed! What will she do now!?" Mic announced as I tried to think of a plan as fast as I could. 

"Okay..... If he's like a rock now, then that means all my main elements won't do much ti him. My flames aren't strong enough, electricity doesn't effect rocks very well, and he'll just smash apart my ice. So..... i'll just have to smash him apart first!" I shouted as I brought my fists together and began my chant. 

"As source of thy power, I order thee! Decipher the laws of nature and enhance my physical strength! Barbarian Shock Wave!" I shouted as both of my fists began to glow with a black and white aura. This was the power of my Barbarian Minotaur axe. The power wield shock waves. 

"Didn't see this one in your first fight. Looks like you've still got some tricks up your sleeve. Good. That means this'll be an even better fight than I thought it would be!" Kirishima shouted as he started to rush me again. 

"Glad to see you're fired up! It wouldn't be an interesting match if you weren't!" I shouted as we both threw punches at each other. My left and his right collided and we instantly blew each other back. The power of my shock wave was stronger than I thought that it caused a bit of recoil. But, thankfully it didn't cause any damage to me. 

"Ow...." Kirishima said as I had knocked him down. He scratched the top of his head as he stood back up and regained his balance. 

"It doesn't look like that hurt him too much. His hardened body makes it difficult to do any damage at all. Which means i'll just have to chip away until he's tired and then knock him out. With my wings, I know i'm faster. Speed is key, and i'll have to pick my shots perfectly to wear him down." I thought to myself as I extended both of my wings out and started flapping them. 

"Oh no you don't! I'm not letting you get away from me!" Kirishima shouted as he started to bolt for me. 

"Come on, gotta get up into the air!" I said as I started to flap faster and harder. I was slowly rising off the ground, getting to about 8 feet but it still wasn't enough. Kirishima made it under me and jumped up to grab onto my right foot. And, it honestly felt like I was carrying a rock at this point. 

"Get..... off of me..... you're too.... heavy!" I shouted as he started to climb me.

"Attacks from the air are highly effective against me, but, if I can stop those attacks from even happening, then I have no weaknesses! I will not let you take flight, Ayuma!" Kirishima shouted as he reeled back his left arm and thrusted it into my chest. The pain was unbelievable and it caused me to stop flapping my wings and crash into the ground. Luckily for me, I landed on top of Kirishima who now laid flat on his back. I re-positioned myself to try and trap his arms with my knees and I readied both of my arms to strike him.

"Let's see how many of these you can take!" I shouted as I began to punch his face over and over again with my shock waves. Each hit was embedding his head further and further into the concrete.

"I'm..... am not..... done yet!!" Kirishima roared as, from behind me, he raised up his legs and brought them up to my face. He squeezed my head between both of his shoes and pulled me off of him far enough to the point he could get back up. 

"I am an unwavering wall that cannot be brought down! No matter what you throw at me, I will withstand it and keep on fighting!" Kirishima shouted as he delivered a strong uppercut to my jaw with his right fist. He sent me flying off of him and I landed hard on my back about 20 feet away. I slowly got back up as he did too. 

"He's right. He can take anything I throw at him. Not even a powerful shock wave can blow him away. What else can I do?" I asked myself as I tried to think of a new plan. 

"He's not letting me fly away, nor can I harm him very much with my attacks. Unless...... I try something new! Something that can harm a rock!" I thought to myself as I tried to imagine the magic involved with my next move. 

"As source of thy power, I order thee! Decipher the laws of nature and grant me the power to merge two into one! Magic Combine!" I shouted as I clapped my hands together again. In my left, I produced electricity, and, in my right, I produced flames. I brought them together and combined their powers into something new. A brand new magic power. 

"Blazing Plasma Fists!" I shouted as I charged Kirishima. The plasma on both of my hands was extremely hot and was burning my skin a bit. I couldn't keep this attack up for long so I had to make sure I took Kirishima out quick. 

"Yet another power to add to your quirk!? Damn, I think you might have the same amount Cry had when he had his original quirk! In fact, even he could use plasma, just like you are." Kirishima said to me. 

"I heard about what happened to him, and what happened to you on that one mission to stop the Yakuza and save a little girl. You both fought bravely, and for that, I give you my upmost respect. But even so, I came here on a mission that I just cannot afford to fail. I know how much this sports festival means to and the rest of the students here at U.A, but i'm sorry to say you're going to lose." I said to him as he cracked his knuckles and smiled. 

"You say that now...." Kirishima said as he smashed both of his fists together, making sparks from their collision. But, he was doing something else too. His body was changing again. His rock hard skin was looking even sharper now and like a jagged rock. Even his teeth and eyes looked like rock now. And, his body was making this loud but strange sound too. It sounded like it was creaking. 

"Ultimate Technique: Red Riot Unbreakable!" Kirishima shouted as he started marching over to me. It looked like he was struggling though, meaning his movement speed was very limited now. 

"Let's see who's quirk really is the best right now! My ultimate defense!? Or your fiery offense!?" Kirishima shouted as he slowly began to pick up speed. He was beginning to sprint. 

"I accept your challenge, Kirishima! And i'll meet you head on with my own strength!" I shouted back to him as I now sprinted towards him.

"To save the lives of people......!" I shouted as we neared each other. 

"To protect the ones who cannot protect themselves.....!" Kirshima shouted as we both reeled back our right arms, preparing to strike. 

"THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A HERO!!!!" We both roared as our fists collided. A huge shock wave filled the battlefield but neither of us were blown away. We held our ground and kept on pushing. 

"Never give up! Never surrender!" Kirishima shouted as he was starting to push me back. Even with plasma, it still wasn't enough. His body was just so hard now that practically nothing could hurt him anymore. 

"I will not be brought down by anything!" Kirishima roared as he gave one last push and burst past my arm to strike me in the face. He drove his fist right into my face and I swear I could feel a few bones breaking. 

"Ultimate Move: Red Gun Turret!" He screamed at he sent me flying across the field. I landed on my side and kept on sliding, almost going right out of bounds. But, thankfully I stopped just at the line. 

"That attack.... he's..... so strong..... and his defense.... is impenetrable...... I can't..... beat him....." I said as I ever so slowly got back up to my feet. All the while, Kirishima was marching over to me to finish me off. 

"It looks like Kirishima's got Ayuma on the ropes! Will he achieve victory and advance to face Todoroki!? Or does Ayuma still have an ace up her sleeve!?" Wrath Queen announced, but I knew I didn't have anything left. I used everything in this fight, and it still wasn't enough. Kirishima has me beat. 

"Is that all you've got? You're a cardinal hero, for crying out loud. You're the strongest of all five of us and this is all you can muster?" I heard Naofumi's voice say to me from within. 

"But nothing I can do can hurt him..... And, I can't use the demon axe powers anymore. I'm out of options....." I said back to him as his voice was replaced by a new one. 

"We didn't join you because of your strength alone. We joined you because of your heart, Ayuma. Your passion and determination drives you to overcome any obstacle in front of you and this guy's no exception." Krystal and Xev said to me. 

"Not's not the point..... It just doesn't matter when nothing I do effects him at all!" I said back to them as they disappeared and were replaced by yet another voice. 

"You are my wife, Ayuma. The princess of Melromarc. You're the strongest person I know, even greater than myself and my abilities. If anyone can take him down, it is you." Alex said to me as I clenched my fists tightly. No matter what anyone says, I just can't do anything anymore. 

"Miss Ayuma..... you taught me that even in the darkest and most hopeless of situations, there is always a way to achieve victory. The spirit to never give up drives all of us to succeed! We promised we'd see each other again, and we always keep our promises! Fulfill it, Miss Ayuma! I'm waiting for you!" I heard Neela's voice cry out as my right arm suddenly burst into dark red flames. 

"What's this!? It looks like Ayuma's gonna give it one last attempt to take out Kirishima! But can she do it!? Or will Kirishima withstand yet another attack of hers!?" Wrath Queen announced as my arm was lifting itself up all on its own. The flames were turning into some sort of figure. It had a serpentine-like body, its body covered in scales, sharp claws, and the head of a dragon. 

"This is..... The power of the Dragon Heart Axe!" I shouted as the dragon wrapped itself around my arm, merging its head with my right fist. 

"I tried this before, but every attempt was a complete failure! The dragon powers were too strong for me to control without my axe! But now..... i'm stronger than before!" I said as Kirishima was beginning to near me. 

"Alright, Kirishima! I'm giving my all with this last attack! Prepare to lose!" I shouted as I started running at him. 

"That's how I like it! And, i'll give 100% too, Ayuma! Let's end this right now!" Kirishima shouted as he began to run too. 

"Ultimate Move: Red Gauntlet!" Kirishima roared as he reeled back his left fist and threw it forward with all his might. 

"Maximum power! Dragon Heart Quake Strike!!!!" I shouted as I reeled back my right arm and shot it forward. His fist and the dragon head collided and a monumental explosion ensued between our hands. The smoke engulfed us and shook the entire stadium. The crowd was going nuts at our display of power, and I didn't blame them. This fight was incredible. 

"Oh my goodness, another massive explosion! I can't see anything down there! Who won!?" Mic asked as the officials began to blow away the smoke. Kirishima was found first. Only, he was no longer on the battlefield. The explosive force of our attacks colliding was strong enough to send him flying off the battlefield and over into the back wall of the stadium. And that was easily 300 feet away. And, the best part..... his body wasn't hard anymore, nor was he moving. Kirishima was knocked out. 

"Kirishima is out of bounds and has been KO'd!" The official called as I appeared next. I hadn't moved from my spot at all. I still stood right by the boundary line, my right arm still extended out and on fire. But the flames quickly dissipated as I dropped to my knees from exhaustion. 

"SHE DID IT! AYUMA CLAIMS VICTORY AND MOVES ON TO FACE TODOROKI!!!!" Mic announced as I fell over to my side and looked at my right arm. 

"That power.... the power of a dragon..... and the explosion..... it didn't hurt me at all..... did the dragon..... protect me....?" I questioned as I slowly closed my eyes and fainted. Wrath Queen went on to announce the current standings, and who my next opponent would be.

"We'll need some medics down there to take care of them! Both fighters gave it their all and put on one hell of a show for us all today! And it's still only the top 16! Honestly, I cannot wait for the quarter finals now! Knowing that Todoroki and Ayuma fight in the first match, it's sure to be a sight to behold!" 

This marks the end of the chapter but I've got one last little surprise for you all. If you look below, you'll see my artist has done yet another awesome rendition of one of our beloved characters. This time, we have Krystal! Honestly, she looks incredible, and, I can't wait for you all to see her fight in the next chapter! And, please, please, please go check out my artists twitter! It would mean a whole lot to me and her at the same time! Thank you all once again for reading yet another chapter of mine, and we've still got a ways to go. As always, enjoy!
