Chapter 3: The Probe
Knock Knock Knock!
"Izuku, it's me! Not that…it would be anyone else I suppose…" Inko's voice trailed off through the green haired teen's door. He sighed with a slight smile as he shook his head.
"Come in." The boy said as he cleared up some room on his bed so his mom could sit down if she needed to. When she walked in she was fidgeting and Midoriya could only quirk an eyebrow at that. "Something the matter?"
"No, it's just…" Taking a deep breathe the woman sat down on the spot the teen had cleared for her and turned to face him. "About this whole All Might situation…"
The boy tensed.
"I'm not going to pretend I'm not upset that you didn't tell me." She said and the boy flinched. 'Not good.' "But I get why and I just wanted to make sure you know I already forgive you for it, ok?"
"Mom…." The boy muttered, not sure how to respond before opting to just take the woman into a hug which she gladly returned. "I love you."
"I love you too sweetie." Inko replied as she wrapped her arms around him tight. They stayed like that for a moment before the older of the two pulled away with a serious look. "And so you know, I just got off the phone with the doctors. All-…Toshinori called ahead like he said, they managed to book a three hour appointment."
"Oh. That's good then." The greenette said as his eyes trailed down to the watch, somehow it hadn't actually been that uncomfortable to sleep with. "Let me guess, until then no transformations? Not that I was particularly planning to anyways."
"More or less." Inko confirmed but then her face perked up into a smile. "Thought the doctor didn't seem that concerned to tell the truth. He said it was more likely to be like a long quirk assessment than anything else."
"Wait, quirk assessment?" Midoriya questioned as he tilted his head in confusion.
"Well, yeah. So long as you can turn back, the doctor said that while you shouldn't transform, if you do just treat it like it's a quirk." His mother beamed and the boy's brain shutdown. 'A quirk? I have a substitute for a quirk on my wrist and I probably have to take it off soon? Of course.' "Izuku?"
"Uh, yeah. Sorry just processing that." The boy said as he shook his head. "So no transformations, at least until tomorrow."
"Well actually, the doctor said one." The plump woman said as she scratched her head and Midoriya looked up in surprise. "He said that you should figure out how the watch works first, but to only use the one you already turned into so we know you'll turn back. I'm a little worried about it but it was the doctor's orders so…."
"So…I guess we're going to the park then?" Midoriya asked and the woman nodded. "Can we do it now then? Cause I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious."
"Of course you are." Inko muttered with a small but affectionate roll of her eyes. "Just let me get my coat, its cold outside."

Wind blew past as the two Midoriya's stood alone in the park. The weather had kept most people inside and away from any recreational activities outside so they had the place to themselves, the only exception being two young kids playing in a green sand pit a fair bit away from them, which suited the younger of the two just fine.
The park had always been one of the few places where quirk use was basically completely allowed but some pros would occasionally come past without knowing that and it would always lead to a nightmare trying to explain that fact.
"Ready?" The teen asked his mother who gave him a thumbs up, for her face betrayed her nervousness. Turning back to face the watch he pressed in the sides and the face popped up like before, once more displaying the silhouette of the dinosaur. "Ok so that's how I get it open then, good to know. It was when I pressed it down it transformed so what if instead I…"
His hand cupped around the side of the face that had popped up and twisted. It gave no resistance and the top flashed green for a moment before displaying a new silhouette. Turning once more it flashed yet again and another new form popped up.
Including the dinosaur-like creature he had turned into there were ten in total, most of which looked humanoid but with distinct features. One's head was seemingly ablaze, another had moth like wings, and one's body seemed to be dissolving. 'What are these guys?'
Finally he scrolled back around to the first one he had transformed into and looked down at the watch for a moment, hesitating on the transformation. 'Better prepare myself mentally for it this time.'
He took a few deep breathes, which he let out slowly before placing his hand into the sky, preparing to slam it down. It wasn't necessary but hanging out with All Might for so long had given him his own knack for theatrics.
A green flash engulfed the boy as his body went numb once more. One it dissipated he looked down in surprise.
"This…isn't who I was supposed to turn into…"
~~~~
OMNTRIX: LOCATED.
Musutafu, japan, Asia, Earth
Attached to "Izuku Midoriya", Homosapien, Male, no impressive attributes: Threat level = low
"A child?"
"Yes sir."
"This will be even easier than I thought. Send the probe."
~~~~
"What…are you? Inko questioned worriedly as she inspected her son. Instead of turning into a giant 12 foot dinosaur he had turned into a creature who seemed to have a similar dinosaur like theme though one more akin to a velociraptor whereas the first could be seen more like…well an amalgam of massive dinosaurs really.
"I…don't know." Midoriya said, his voice now raspy. Unlike the form before that wore no clothes, this one wore an odd aqua colored jumpsuit, with a black area covering his chest. On top of the black was the watch's symbol. He had a tail wit stripes, some parts the same aqua of the jumpsuit while others were a more normal blue. "Wait, are my feet…balls?"
"I think so." Inko said as she looked down to her sons thin legs. No longer did he have feet or hands, his hands being replaced by three sharp claws that held themselves together in a cone shape when relaxed and his feet where replaced by two black balls that the boy swore he could feel little tiny nips of electricity shooting through and on to the ground. Feeling his head he realized he was wearing some kind of metal helmet with a similar color to his clothes. "This isn't the one from the forest?"
"No, I mean that one was massive! this guy is…whoa." The boy suddenly shot his head back as if he'd been punched before looking left and right so fast that his mother was worried he'd give himself whiplash. "Fast. Nippy, agile. So many words shot through my brain there. He can think so fast, it almost hurts to keep up. Icanrecalleverythingthathappenedyesterdayinseconds. Thisissofastit'sinsaneimeanicanthinkupanyalis'sinsecondsitsamazingbut-"
"Woah, woah woah! Slow down Izuku! I can't understand you at that speed." The woman said as she looked over her son worriedly. "What are we going to do now? We were told specifically not to let you transform into anything else!"
"Well…." The blue dinosaur-like boy looked around the park they were in and just shrugged. "It's not like there's any helping it at this point. The best we can do is hope the timer applies to every transformation and see what this guy can do in the meantime. Because I know one thing, he is fast! But how fast? Oh good question."
"Wait Izu-" Inko couldn't finish her sentence as the boy was suddenly gone in a blur of blue and black. Looking around she saw her son at the other end of the park looking at his hands. "-ku…"
"Ok, that's faster than I thought." The boy said and the woman noticed the helmet had closed. Whereas before it had shown the face of the boy, with green eyes and black lips, it was now closed showing an odd blue visor.
BWOOSH!
Just a second later he was back into place and Inko's mouth dropped wide open. Hearing about the transformations was one thing, seeing it was completely different "Wha…"
"I can figure out if move faster or think faster. The world feels like it's going so slow right now!" Midoriya exclaimed as he looked around. "Shame all we got is this park. OH! I wonder how many laps I could do in a minute, gotta pass the time somehow. What do you-"
"IZUKU! Breathe for a moment!" The woman shouted as she massaged her head. "This is a serious problem you know!"
"Oh…Yeah your right….sorry mom…Just…..I got excited is all." The boy said as he finally stayed still and the woman sighed.
"Of course you are sweetie, just give me a moment to catch up please." She said as she rummaged into her bag. A moment later she pulled out her phone and opened its notepad application. "So…..you're fast….really fast. We should probably write this down for tomorrow."
"Yeah. Don't forget thinks fast!" The speedster said as he looked around. His head had so many thought passing through that even his normal brainstorms paled in comparison. He felt bad for anyone he started mumbling around like this. "Bit sore but I think that's just because I'm not used to it. I can feel my fingers, uh…claws buzzing as well, I think they can move just as fast if I wanted."
"Ok then." The greenette said as she took a seat and typed down the notes into her phone. "So nothing bad other than the head?"
"Nope. Nothing bad at all!" The boy said happily.
BOOM!
"….I really need to learn to keep my mouth shut." He muttered as he hunched forward before looking around to see a massive red robot with four legs and claw like hands as big as his last transformation had been stomping towards the kids who had been playing in the sand. Now however they were huddled together as the robot stomped towards them with killing intent.
Looking around the teen felt his blood go cold as he realized that no heroes or anyone were around. The only people present were him and his mother.
Stomp. Bzzt.
A light turned on upon the robots arm, a laser preparing to fire.
One of the kids screamed and it caused Midoriya's mind to shut down as his instincts took over.
BWOOSH!
BOOM!
The sandbox the kids had been playing in exploded but the children where no longer inside, Inko barely had time to blink before all of a sudden her son stood before her with both of them in his hand. "It's ok! I've got you. Here, my mom will get you to some pro's, right mom?"
"I uh..wha…"
"MOM!" He exclaimed and felt slightly guilty, but they hardly had time for being confused now.
"Uh right, we'll get you to the safety. But uh….What are we going to do about that thing following us? We can't lead it to more people." Inko said as she took the two kids into her hands, who gladly held on. She looked up and even through the visor her son's transformed eyes hid behind, she could see what he was thinking. "Izuku NO! You are not fighting that thing!"
BOOM!
It was getting closer, they didn't have the time to argue.
"Not the time mom! If you can get a hero then I won't have to but you have to go now!" He shouted and she still hesitated. The two kids clearly got more scared.
BZZT
Another laser being prepared.
"MOM, GO! I CAN HANDLE MYSELF FOR A FEW MINUTES!" He almost screamed, more out of fear than anything and she finally got the message, turning and running with the kids in hand, though the look on her face showed just how unconformable she was with doing it.
"Be careful, I'll get a pro as soon as possible!" She shouted as she ran and the boy turned and just barely side-stepped out the way of the new laser.
"So what's a robot doing attacking some kids?" Midoriya asked, trying not to think about the fact he was operating on an unknown time limit. "Malfunction or did a villain program you?"
"OMNITRIX LOCATED. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: RETRIEVE OMNITRIX."
BZZT
"Omnitrix?" The speedster asked as he avoided the laser which created another loud boom. A second later he was behind the robot, who amazingly managed to keep track of him and swirled its head around. "What's an Omnitrix?"
"SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: ERADICATE IZUKU MIDORIYA."
"Oh co- Wait WHAT!" The boy froze up and a laser fired off that he failed to react to in his surprise. He felt the ground disappear from under him as he flew backwards before rolling across the ground. Rising to his feet he shook his head as he watched the behemoth stomp towards him. "How do you even know me?! Wait is the watch the 'Omnitrix?'!"
"AFFIRMATIVE."
Bzzt! BWOOSH, BOOM.
"Crap…."
The actual 'fight' was proving amazingly repetitive as the speedster was for too fast for the robot to stand a chance of hitting him. It would just continually fire lasers he would dodge, in the teens mind though his thoughts were running a million miles a minute and not just because of his new form. 'What do I do, what do I do? At least the kids are safe now he wants me and the watch but why is he trying to kill me for it?! Does this robot belong to the person who made it? Can't say I'm keen to give it back if so but why would brute force be needed?! Maybe something else? Oh forget it, that doesn't matter right now! How are you going to win, figure that out!'
The robot finally stopped firing lasers as a burst of fire shot out its back propelling it forward and it tried to smash the blue blur with its claws. Midoriya jumped out the way in time, feet landing on the armor of the claw which he used as a ramp to zip into the air and over the robot, flipping around in the air and putting some distance between the two as he landed back in the park where he started, giving him some time to think uninterrupted.
'I can't fight this guy head on, I'm lucky enough to be in a park where quirk use is allowed at all but this….this won't go down as well if I destroy him. Sure self-defense but it rarely gets presented in that light. If I hit him head on, I'm technically breaking the law…..if I hit him head on…hit, HIT! So long as I don't hit him, I'm good so I just need to find a way to beat him without touching him….easier said than done but…'
BZZT
BWOOSH
BOOM!
He was behind the behemoth once more and now he knew how to win.
"Alright big guy! I can't hurt you but gravity can!" he shouted as he dodged another incoming claw, but instead of side-stepping or just moving to the back of the robot he continued to run without stopping, circling the robot and picking up speed. The robot started to smash its claws into random places into the ground and firing lasers off but the boy's new reflexes made them almost too easy too dodge. Mentally he tried to keep count of how fast he was going, though he had no way to know if he was accurate.
'30 miles per hour, 40, 50, 55, 60, 75, 80, 95, that should be a hundred!'
He started to maintain his speed instead of accelerating, still dodging all the obstacles the robot tried to throw at him. A part of him was surprised he could even go this fast but he wasn't complaining, as he felt the wind he was generating pick up. He continued to circle and even from his view point he could see the blur trail he left rising into the air, forming a tornado. 'One more rotation and then…'
The speedster left his path, once more stood in the park and looking at his handiwork with a smile. The robot lifted of the ground and started flail, seemingly unsure of how to react, he quickly rose higher and higher into the air until he was definitely way too high to survive "Gravity can take over now!"
And sure enough it did. A whistling noise could be heard as the hunk of metal suddenly plummeted before it collided into the ground with a harsh thud that was strong enough to make the teen cringe. Pieces of metal flew everywhere before…
BOOM!
"Yeah….I think my work here is done. I better go home quickly, don't want to run into any pro's other this."
BWOOSH!
To the boy's surprise he quickly picked up the speed he already had faster than before. He zipped past people and cars at speeds so fast he was sure he probably wasn't even being seen which suited him just fine.
The boy started keeping a count in his head. '6…7…8'
And he was home, in his room. "Ten….ten seconds. I travelled around the entire block in ten seconds….holy crap."
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BWOO!
Looking down at his human form he smiled slightly in surprise. "Well, that's a new favorite….not that there's much to work with…."
"SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: ERADICATE IZUKU MIDORIYA!"
"RETREIEVE THE OMNITRIX"
The greenette's smile quickly disappeared and he rummaged inside his pocket, pulling out his phone and quickly pulling up his contacts.
All Might
You: We need to talk ASAP. If you can please come to my house immediately. – 18:45
After he sent that text he quickly found his mother's contact and called her.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Ring. Ring-
"IZUKU?!" The worried voice of his mother came through far too loud and he clutched his head as he held the phone away from him.
"Ow! Yes it's me, you don't need to shout. I'm perfectly fine before you ask, nothing happened to me."
"Oh thank god. Where are you? I managed to find a pro but by the time we got here the robot was completely destroyed. Was that you?!"
"Yeah it was me. Look I'm back home, didn't want to run into any pro's and have to explain that. I just got in touch with All Might and asked him to come over as well, please come back and I'll explain what happened."
"Ok, I'll see you soon. You're definitely safe?"
"…."
"Izuku."
"Yeah…sorry."
Chapter 4: Doctors visit
"I don't like this." All Might said as he sat in the waiting area outside the doctors, magazine in his hand as Inko fidgeted nervously next to him as she continued to be the nervous wreck she had been for the past 20 hours.
"Why did you start reading Grandma's Knitting Techniques Weekly then?" Midoriya asked with a quirked brow from his spot across from the two, hand idly running over the top of the watch.
"No, not the magazine. It's actually quite interesting. I meant what's happening with this watch." The blonde explained as he set the issue down on the table beside him. "Sorry I couldn't get there yesterday by the way."
"Its fine, your time limit was up and you were in another city, it couldn't be helped." Midoriya said as he waved his hand quite the same as how he waved away the issue. "But yeah, it's…..I don't know how to describe it!"
"Worrying, that's how." Inko said, her tone clipped before she shook her head with a frown. "Sorry, I'm just really worried about you sweetie. I hope they have a way to take it off so whoever wants you will leave you alone."
"Yes, I think we can all agree that would be for the best." The skinny pro said as he re-adjusted his place in his seat. "The matter of finding a way to get it off though is something else.
"….I don't think it matters." Midoriya muttered, getting the two adults attention. He looked up and sighed when he saw their questioning glances. "Let's say we get it off, there's no guarantee that will definitely make me safe. For all we know they could still want to kill me once this thing is off, and then whoever it's given to next and we know nothing about them yet to stop them! I don't doubt you could stop them All Might if you had it but you couldn't protect it 24/7 and I'm sorry but I am not taking it off if it has any chance of falling into whoever attacked me hands. This thing made me, a quirkless kid with no experience able to take on a killer drone, could you imagine what it could do for a serious villain? Not to mention all the things the other forms might be capable of that we don't even know yet!"
"It….would certainly not be pretty." All Might admitted with a sigh. His sunken eyes then narrowed as he looked at his successor. "This defense of keeping it on wouldn't happen to have a certain ulterior motive though, would it?"
"Well of course for me it's a bonus. Maybe that is a little selfish but I admit it, not having any powers then suddenly having a way to be normal and being told I have to give it up….It's frustrating." The greenette sighed and Inko stayed strangely quietly at that. The blonde at least had to commend his student for being honest about part of his reasoning, and regardless he did make a good point about what would happen once it was off. "For all we know this conversation doesn't even matter, it's not coming off by normal physical means and I doubt we're just going to stumble across a manual for it."
"Yes, that's something else that's been concerning me, and it seems as time passes my concern only grows." The hero said as rummaged through his pocket before taking out his phone. "With such an odd and powerful contraption and no idea how to work it, I reached out to a few contacts to see if anyone had any idea what the watch was. Now it's only been a day so I didn't expect them to find it by now but there's something they all say which is starting to make me think we may not get any answers."
As he said that he pulled out his phone and tapped something on the screen before holding it out for both the Midoriya's to hear.
"So far there has been nothing we could find on any 'transformation watch', it's unlikely we will. Many here don't believe such a thing to be possible, at leasy not with the technology we have."
"I'm afraid we've yet to find anyone with knowledge of such a watch. The chances of finding such technology is next to zero. It shouldn't be possible."
A few other similar messages played but they all repeated the same thing, the watch shouldn't be able to work at all.
"But it's right here on my wrist so it has to be possible!" Midoriya exclaimed as he shook his watch wrist for emphasis. Toshinori shook his head lightly as he leaned back and placed his hands over his stomach.
"Well, I have one theory but you may think me a lunatic for suggesting it."
"I'm a quirkless kid who turned into a 12 foot dinosaur because of a watch and fought the world's number one hero right after because of a misunderstanding. Weird may as well be the name of the game." Midoriya said as he scratched his head. Despite his encouragement, he still wasn't prepared for the answer he got.
"Aliens."
Inko froze and Izuku just blinked in surprise. "Aliens….?"
"Told you it was a lunatic theory."
"Actually no….The watch did fall out of the sky like a meteor, and if it doesn't match up to any known technology on earth but does exist then it has to match up to some kind of technology somewhere." Midoriya started to mutter as he placed a finger to his chin. "Not to mention I have never seen anything like the things I transformed into, it wouldn't be stretch to consider that if aliens do exist some would take a similar evolutionary path as earth if they were in similar conditions and I turned into dinosaur like creatures. Dinosaurs came before us so….It might be possible."
"Wait are we seriously considering this?" Inko asked as she looked between the two with a look of disbelief.
"Apparently so." All Might said, similarly surprised his idea had actually gained traction.
"Well, it's better than nothing." Midoriya pointed out. Looking down at the device on his wrist he let out a small smile. "And it's less of a mouthful to say I can turn into ten aliens, than into ten different transformations."
"Well that's certainly true." All might smirked before it dissipated and he turned to face Inko. "Of course, if we really can't take the watch of him, whether it be by his refusal or because there is no way to then I better offer this now. If you want I could get in contact with some people to have a few pro's constantly stationed near your house for your safety if you want."
Before the woman could give her answer, the door opened and out walked a black haired man with blue eyes in a white coat, who had a clipboard in hand. "We're ready now, please come in. I'm Doctor Tsuruki Izumi, I'll be working with you today."
The three stood up and followed the doctor into the room he had come out of, which proved to be quite spacious with an operating bed, sitting area and various odds and ends scattered about.
"You must be the one All Might was telling me about! and you must be his mother, so nice to meet you both!" Izumi said as he shook their hands as he addressed them both before he pulled back and turned to the skinny blonde with a kindly smile. "And it's good to see you again All Might."
"Woah, he knows about your secret?" Midoriya asked surprise and the blonde laughed as he shook the doctor's hand.
"Doctor Izumi was one of the people who worked on my operation when my stomach was…well you know. Kinda hard to keep it secret under those circumstances." The man explained and Midoriya nodded in understanding, while Inko took a seat and resumed her fidgeting. "So what's going to happen, doctor?"
"Right, well if you could please come here and sit atop the bed Midoriya, I'd like to first start with a check-up of your physical health." Izumi said as he patted the spot on the bed. "After that we can discuss these transformations All Might has told me about."
~~~~
The check-up went by fairly quickly, only taking ten minutes in total for the doctor to get the results he needed. When asked about whether he exercised, Midoriya answered honestly and tried not to flinch when he saw All Might's questioning glance when he got more into detail.
"Well, the results are….interesting. Your body is suffering from being overworked but it has nothing to do with the watch. These exercises you have been implementing on yourself, you need to stop them otherwise they will be extremely detrimental to your health!" Izumi warned and Inko gasped lightly while All Might just looked at him with a disapproving glance which honestly hurt more than any of the exercises. "As for the watch though, there's only one way to find out if it has any negative effects."
"Transform?" Midoriya asked and the man nodded his head, before gesturing to a door the boy had failed to notice before.
"That leads to the outside, where we'll be doing these experiments. Due to the immense size your first transformation apparently was, I don't want to risk another even bigger one showing up and destroying the ceiling." The blue eyed man explained as he walked forward and Midoriya followed him, All Might and his mother not too far behind. Once they were out in the open, Midoriya looked around and was surprised by just how much space they had available to them. "I believe you should have figured out how to operate your watch yesterday, yes?"
"Well yeah, I figured out how it worked but I ended up as the wrong alien. Fortunately he still timed out though."
"Alien?"
"Oh, uh that's what I'm calling them for now, just cause it's easier than saying transformation."
"Well, ok then, aliens it is. An accidental transformation could be problematic but we'll deal with that bridge when we come to it." The doctor waved the issue away as Midoriya brought up the watch face. "Speaking of names, do you have any for the 'aliens' so far? Being able to separate easily would make my job easier."
"Actually, I hadn't thought of any but…I guess there's no reason I can't name them now." Midoriya said as he stopped the watch's selection screen on his first transformation. "I assume you want the original one I turned into?"
"Preferably."
Midoriya gently pressed down the plate and his body went numb as a green flash engulfed him. A second later a towering brown dinosaur like creature took his place, his size truly frightening to the two of the three who hadn't seen it yet.
"Oh my….That is quite the transformation." Izumi muttered with wide eyes before shaking his head and pulling out a pen. "Tell me, aside from size, do you feel any different?"
"Well, I feel stronger but other than that, I'm just me." Midoriya said as he looked down at his massive fists. "Actually I don't feel tall at all, I feel pretty small for some reason."
"Well that's certainly odd." The doctor muttered as he wrote down his notes. "Is there anything you can do regarding your size that might be related to you feeling this way?"
"Maybe? Hang on a second." The dinosaur closed his eyes and concentrated as he felt a weird sensation run throughout his body. Moments later he felt his body stretch and grow as the world became smaller and smaller. "WOAH! NOW THIS IS HUGE!"
"AMAZING! YOU MUST BE SURPASSING AT LEAST FORTY FEET AT THAT HEIGHT!!" The black haired assessor shouted up to the now massive boy. All Might barely had time to catch Inko when she fainted. "IN FACT, YOU SEEM ALMOST AS BIG AS MT. LADY AND SHE IS OVER SIXTY FEET, THIS IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE! PLEASE SHRINK NOW IF YOU CAN!"
Another few moments later and the massive alien was back down to his regular size, which still towered over the others easily. "Holy….I had no idea he could do THAT!"
"Yes, size enhancers are rare as well. I think I have what I need to know too set up a test for this 'Alien' as you call if there is no other abilities he may have?" Izumi said and Midoriya shook his head to indicate he didn't think there was any. "Alright then. And like we were saying, do you want to name him now or later? Or would you rather just refer to them numerically?"
"Hmm…Well actually I did have an idea for a name once I got so big." Midoriya admitted as he looked down at the doctor. "What do you think of 'Colossus'?"
"Well, I certainly like it." The doctor encouraged with a smile before turning to the other two present. "What do you both think."
"…." Inko just stared blankly forward.
"Colossus works." All Might added, with a hand on the woman's shoulder.
"Alright then, Colossus it is for transformation one." The doctor said as he wrote it down in his notepad before wondering inside. When he came back out he was dragging a tray with different materials like wood and steel. "You said you felt stronger, let us see just how much stronger. I want you to punch each one of these, we'll see how many you can affect. We'll start with plastic and work our way up to our strongest metals. Ready?"
"Ready!"
~~~~
"Sir, the Omnitrix has been activated multiple times in the past few earth hours. Shall we send another drone?"
"He defeated the last one?"
"Yes, with a Kinecelaran transformation."
"Interesting… leave him be for now."
"Sir?"
"I wish to see just what I'm dealing with."
~~~~
"Alright Midoriya, I think there's just one more transformation in there but I don't think we'll have the time to look at him I'm afraid." Izumi said as he looked over his notes. They had returned inside and were now awaiting the results of the tests Midoriya had performed. "I would like to do another checkup now to see if any of the transformations have affected you and then I will tell you how they performed."
Fortunately said check-up was quicker than the first as they already had some of the stuff they needed. They were in for a surprise as the checkup was wrapping up though. "Well I'll be a donkey's grandfather!"
'I don't want to think about how that would work…'
"It would seem your transformations, if anything, are actually beneficial to your health." The doctor said as he looked over the results. "It's possible you just got a little better from the fresh air but these results seem to indicate your transformations have actually helped make you healthier."
"That….what? How?!" Midoriya asked incredulous as his mother and mentor looked on, similarly shocked.
"I'm not fully sure but I would guess however the watch transforms you, when it brings you back to normal it puts you into what it considers to be your normal physical state. That's just a guess though mind you." The doctor said as he placed his clipboard to the side and turned around to face them all. "Well anyways, I'm sure you'd like the results, though I'm sure you already have a good idea of where a lot of them stand."
"Colossus is the strongest?" Midoriya asked, already knowing the answer from the many times he ended up hurting his hand as other 'aliens', as it turned out almost all of them had enhanced strength but most didn't come close to his massive dinosaur form.
"Yes, I'd say strong enough to give All Might a run for his money as he is now, though not necessarily prove stronger mind you. He is also one of the most durable. Your fastest is easily the one you decided to call Blink, he managed to clock 400MPH from the tests and I believe you said you hadn't reached top speed. Your most durable was certainly the slime and your smartest was 'Braniac' as you named him. I could list more feats but you were there, you know what you are actually capable of, at least somewhat. Your trnasformations all share the same time limit, ten minutes and after that, it takes five minutes to recharge. Though this seems to fluctuate because of unknown factors yet they only seemed to decrease recharge time."
"So…."
"So, it would seem that the watch has no negative effects on you. So as long as there is no outside factor calling for it, you needn't be in a rush to remove it." The doctor said and Midoriya let out a sigh of relief. "I would suggest just treating it as a support item for now. As it is, I'd be as welling saying congratulations, you now effectively are no longer quirkless Midoriya."
And that's when the boy fainted. A moment later he returned with everyone looking at him worriedly, though the doctor didn't rush to do anything, seeming to understand it was more from shock than any health issue. He did hand him a cup of water though. "Drink, it helps."
"Thanks." Midoriya said as he stood up.
"Well, I believe that is everything. I'll schedule for an appointment next month, you should be fine though." The doctor said as the three made their way to the door. "Nice to see you all, have a good day!"
"Thank you."
"Same to you, thanks for helping!" Midoriya said as the door closed and the three were left alone in the hall with this new information. The greenette sighed as he turned to his mentor who had an unimpressed look on his face. "Talk?"
"Talk." All Might confirmed before looking up to his mother. "Do you mind if the two of us do this alone for a moment. If you wish to stay that's fine, it's not to do with the watch though."
"If it's nothing to do with the watch then I suppose I can stay to the side for a moment but we need to talk about the watch as well and I want to be here for that." The woman said with a serious tone before she turned and made her way down the hall to a nearby vending machine, likely to get a snack.
"So….I guess you're pretty upset with me." Midoriya said as he turned to face his mentor.
"I am frustrated you didn't follow my plan yes but I'm more worried than anything. You heard what the doctor said, overworking your body won't do you any favors in getting stronger or making you able to wield One for All." All Might said and the boy flinched as he sat down.
"I'm sorry…It's just….just…I want to be a hero…so much…and the only way to do that is if I'm able to take on One for All. I just...I thought if I could fit in more exercise I could get stronger faster." The boy looked down at his feet, hand gripping his pants and trembling. "I don't….exercising never was my strong suit. I guess that's showing now."
"Young man…." Al Might sighed, before walking forward and kneeling down, placing his hands on his successor's shoulders. "I'm not mad, ok? To be completely honest, once upon a time I would have done the same thing probably, but it's bad for your health to overwork yourself like you have. It's fortunate we picked up on it early, it can be fixed with no major repercussions. Are you willing to follow the plan I give you this time? WITHOUT modifying it?"
"Yes. I'll do whatever you say, I'll follow your plan properly!" Midoriya exclaimed as he looked up, a determined gaze set on his features. Inko wondered back at that moment, and the two separated.
"As for it being the only way to become a hero….that's not true." All Might said and both the Midoriya's turned to look at him. "You heard it from the doctor himself that its basically the equivalent of a support item and you already made it pretty clear your probably not taking off the watch even if we find a way to so…We saw what you could do in those tests, even without One for All there might be a way for you to be a hero, and its sitting on your wrist."
"Wait, you mean…."
"Yeah, that watch might as well be your quirk for now." All Might said with a grin before looking up to the portly woman. "Assuming it's alright with you of course."
"I'm…..On one condition I can accept that." The woman said firmly, as she walked up to them both and looked the blonde dead in the eyes. "Keep my baby safe. I can't stand the thought anyone wants to hurt him, but if he refuses to take it off then I can't make him. He can be stubborn like that. So that patrol of pro's you were talking about? Please set that up, and when he trains with you, which I won't stop, please just keep him safe."
"I promise I will." All Might said and Midoriya jumped up as well, before pulling his mother into a hug.
"And I promise I'll try to stay out of trouble. Try being the key word though." He said, mostly jokingly though no one objected as the woman held her son. A moment of tender silence passed until All Might spoke up.
"Well, this has proven much better than I could have hoped. I suppose I had better get to work on your new exercise plan young man, both to make up for what was lost and make room for some training with that watch. While you have it, you would do best to learn how to use it."
"Yes sir." Midoriya agreed as he pulled away before his eyes widened as if he remembered something, before turning and knocking on the doctor's door. A moment later the man looked out with a confused stare before noticing the boy.
"Yes, did you forget something?"
"I forgot to ask for the names I used. I wanted to write them down for my own notebooks." Midoriya explained and the doctor's mouth perked up into a kind smile.
"Ah, just give me a moment." He said before walking back into the room. The sound of a scratching pencil could be heard before he showed up again with a loose piece of paper in hand which he gave to the teen. "Here you go. Have a good day!"
Midoriya thanked him and bowed, and once the door was closed turned to join his mom and mentor. "Ok, we should probably go now. Don't want to miss the train!"
As they walked, a smile passed the smallest of the three's face as he looked at the list.

Yeah, he was fine with these.
Chapter 5: Interim
It had been three months since Midoriya had been blessed with the discovery of the device that was the omnitrix, and he had used that time well to get more used to the watch.
That hardly meant he understood it though. In that time he'd learnt only two things about his watch, it had a randomizer function. Whenever enough force was applied to the dial, he would end up as a random alien that wasn't who he picked.
That wasn't a problem, in fact it was quite fun, as the boy used the feature a lot in his house during the first month of having it, to take notes and learn more about his aliens. A part of him had to wonder if his own thoughts influenced the random selection as he quite commonly ended up as Blink, his blue speed demon…or rather alien.
So maybe he kind of had a favorite, but he had a soft spot for all his aliens, going as far as to re-arrange his room to have small sections for each alien who wasn't colossus (who barely fit in the room at all whenever he did show up.
Still, after the 'tenth alien incident' when he and All Might had been training at Dagoba, he had stopped the randomizer in doors if he could help it. Speaking of, ever since he had obtained the omnitrix the training seemed to have relaxed a little.
While he was still being worked to the bone to get the beach cleaned up, he had stopped overworking himself and could see the difference from how he felt before, the results of the training seeming much greater than before.
Well he ached less at least. Occasionally, All Might would let the boy use colossus or an alien made pf solid blue crystal he had taken to calling crystalize, too get used to his alien forms. However he had explicitly banned him from using Blink due to the alien being "cheating", as the blonde had put it.
Rarely, very rarely, the blonde wouldn't ask the boy to clear up more of the beach but instead go to one of the already finished areas to test his aliens further. He had set an entire notebook aside for them, though this one was set in a code only he could read. He hadn't shared it with All Might or his mom to keep it as secure as possible. Occasionally he would flip through it just to remind himself this was real, he had the eqequivalent of a quirk now…or really the equivalent of a bunch of quirks in one.
He was reading the third page of that book now, on the one alien who he had mixed feelings on.
Goop
A good offense and defensive alien. He is made of a green slime like substance or a "goop", hence the name. He comes with some form of gravity device that allows him to take on a humanoid shape. When deactivated he turns into a slimy puddle.and cannot move so defending said device id important.
Due to his odd form, he is nigh indestructible to most forms of physical attacks similarly to the slime villain who once attacked me and Kacchan. However, goop has an advantage with his device, so long as it is active he can reform at will.
Also, unlike the slime villain, goop can change the form of his body to resemble acids and adhesives; I have yet to find a material strong enough to withstand the corrosive form of Goop.
It would be obvious to anyone if they read the page of notes that the alien had to be one of the best in the boy's arsenal due to his ability to take nearly any kind of damage but due to his similarities to the villain that had attacked him once upon q time, the alien always left a sour taste in the boy's mouth afterwards.
"Izuku! Dinner! I need some help with the usual"
"Coming!"
Closing the book and setting it away in a hidden 0art of his desk he stood up and pulled up the selection dial on his watch, scrolling til he found what he wanted. "There you are, if my foods to hot then i'll need it to be a little….Chiller…"
Yeah, puns were not his area of expertise. Nevertheless he activated the watch, pressing it down as gently as he could and being engulfed in a flash of green. Seconds later where the greenette stood was now a blue humanoid moth standing six foot tall with his wings wrapped around him like a cloak.
"Cool." He said in a whispery voice that drawled on, a cold breathe of air blowing out before he started to turn transparent, only a faint outline visible of him and he passed right through his wall I to the kitchen. "I'm here…"
"Hmm? AHHH!" Inko shouted out in surprise as she turned to see the humanoid moth form back into existence. Placing a hand over her chest the woman shook her head.
"Sweetie, i'm happy you have a power of your own now but you know Chiller scares me!" The woman complained as she turned to face him, slightly unnerved. "It doesn't help when you appear out of nowhere, please just use the doors."
"Sorry…" He apologized as he walked up to the stove, an old one that had become faulty in recent years. They had no money to afford a new one though. A quick inhale before the teen blew across the top of the fire, a harsh cold wind travelling through and immediately extinguishing the fire. Near the back some small pieces of ice started to form when the boy stopped blowing. "I'll turn back now."
The second thing he had learnt about his watch was that he didn't have to stay alien for as long as the watch wanted if he tapped the watch symbol on his alien forms a couple times. On Chiller it was located on his chest, making it easy to reach. Once the familiar rhythm of three taps were played against the hourglass symbol of the Omnitrix another flash occurred and once more Izuku Midoriya was standing there.
Turning to join his mother at the kitchen his thoughts turned to the watch itself and not the aliens within, sometimes he wondered if it was aware. It was an odd thing to think perhaps but ever since he had first returned to school he'd experienced something odd that had him pondering if it was even possible.
~~~~
Midoriya took a deep breath as he walked the halls to his class, ignoring the pointing and stares he received like always. Most were making fun of him for being the 'weirdo with no quirk' and he was used to it, so it was easy to tune out.
Unfortunately it wouldn't be as easy when he entered his class, were someone would inevitably notice the Omnitrix. He and All Might had gotten it registered as a special support item for him, acting in place of a quirk. He was still registered as quirkless but as he understood it, there was now a note about his watch next to register.
Taking a deep breathe he opened the door to class and did his best to ignore the jeers and taunts that came as soon as they realized who it was. Bakugou, his blonde childhood friend 'Kacchan', growled as he walked past but said nothing.
The teacher arrived soon after and fortunately, the first two periods passed with only being occasionally openly mocked or hit with spitballs and hard to see quirks. A pettier part of him was honestly kind of excited about when they'd find out about the Omnitrix and they could no longer hold his lack of powers over him. He had no doubt they'd try but he was prepared, for once.
It turned out to be their first break period when they finally tried to move to more openly attack Midoriya now that no teacher was present. Unsurprisingly to the greenette, it ended up being the usual suspects who wondered up to him with their malicious grins and eyes reflecting their ill-intent.
"Heya Deku." One said with forced joviality and the boy openly rolled his eyes. While he was certainly still super uncomfortable with the scenario he was in and didn't want to deal with it at all, he at least now could fight back if he needed and something about that knowledge made him feel a lot better in himself. He wasn't going to keep being a stepping stone for the people in this class.
"What? " He asked with a short tone, surprising even himself when he didn't stutter or stumble.. The boy looked insulted and leaned over the desk to the greenette.
"Where do you get off talking like that?" He asked with barely concealed anger, his fist turning into a rock like substance and the greenette noticed Bakugou had turned to watch the interaction with new intrest. Midoriya sighed as the rock quirk boy glared down at him, he had already been one of the worst aside from Bakugou, being one of the few willing to attack Midoriya without anyone telling him to. "Everyone in this room is your betters, you quirkless snotrag, you would do well to remember that."
Midoriya didn't bother responding, hand already placed a top his watch prepared to transform into Colussus if need be….but instead he moved his hand away while saying a single phrase that he would make sure defined the rest of his last few months here. "You're not even worth it."
"Excuse me?! We are all more-"
Midoriya didn't bother to listen as he stood up, showing the boy his watch. "Got powers and I don't? I know, but this changes that."
"A stupid watch?"
"My stupid watch." Midoriya said as he flipped the dial open and slid along a couple aliens, before pressing down the face as most of the class looked in in bewilderment. A familiar flash appeared and a second later the blue velociraptor like form of Blink was before them all, causing Bakugou to jump out of his seat in surprise. "Is a little more than just a watch."
"Deku, the fuck?!" He questioned, yet for once he seemed to be missing his hostility in absolute bewilderment. Most of the rest of the class held similar surprise and a smirk passed the speedsters face, though it was hidden by his visor.
"Ok….Still doesn't make you any better than us!" The rock quirk wielder said as he threw a punch at the boy, but quickly found himself falling forward when he missed, the transformed teen now behind him with his arm crossed. "Dammit, you have no right to think that just because you got some fancy watch thing, your better. You're still a quirkless loser."
"Maybe. But i'm one who could take you for the most terrifying joyride of your life." Blink threatened as he walked forward. "But what makes me better than you…"
Three rhythmic taps against the symbol on his chest and Izuku Midoriya stood there once more, looking more confident and more annoyed than most of them had ever seen. "I had actual reason to, but I didn't. It's called restraint."
With that he had planned to return to his seat, feeling much better about himself than he had in years, topped only perhaps by the moment All Might told him he could be a hero. However he couldn't return to his seat for a reason he really should of foreseen. Before he could take his seat he was suddenly grabbed and thrown against the black wall, the familiar heat and bang of an explosion sounding out.
"Deku…" The unmistakable growl of Bakugou came as the blonde pinned him against the wall, another explosion threating to go off on him. "Give me that damn watch."
"N-no Kacchan."
Boom!
"Give me it you worthless nerd, a bastard like you doesn't deserve it." The explosive teen threatened, his anger rising and maybe it was just the explosion disorienting him, but it seemed like was actually being cheered on by the class.
In another timeline, maybe Deku would of shyly admitted he couldn't and took whatever punishment the blonde gave.
Maybe in another he even knew how and did.
But not in this one, in this one Deku wasn't feeling shy, though a underlying fear implanted since his childhood with the blonde was prevalent, Midoriya had one thought in his head. 'No more.'
He wasn't the same quaking, quirkless Deku he was just months prior. He had become the number one hero's imminent successor, he had powers now, lots of them, and he had taken on an actual villain, alone, and had won. He refused to be a victim, not anymore.
As if sensing the confrontation the Omnitrix beep when Midoriya grabbed his childhood friends arm. Neither noticed the increasingly bright shine from the watch. "No more Kacchan, i'm not powerless anymore and i'm not your p-plaything anymore."
He still shook, he was still scared. But he was also tired, and had enough. Bakugou seemed to not like that answer as he moved to set off another explosion but before he could.
BEEP.
BOOM!
A massive flash of green light occurred and Midoriya actually felt the force of the shockwave throughout his body yet he didn't transform. When he opened his eyes Bakugou was on the floor across the room, everyone looking on in shock. When the blonde started to stir, Midoriya set his hand on the watch, prepared to transform but the blonde made no move to attack again as the bell rang, signaling the break had ended.
But Midoriya saw it in his eyes, the blonde would want to kill him for this.
And yet, finally, in the first time in forever, Midoriya spent the rest of the day without anyone even daring look at him wrong.
~~~~
The months continued to pass, seemingly in no time at all and soon enough they were in the final month of training, the final day. The entrance exam was taking place later that day and Midoriya was riding on a high.
He hadn't been bullied in months, Bakugou while he still threw the occasional insult or snide glance hadn't tried to take his watch again and there had been no incidents with whoever sent that robot so long ago.
On top of it all, with minutes to spare he had cleared the last of Dagoba Municipal beach of the trash surrounding it without once relying on his alien forms. He stood upon the final mound of trash to be cleated away as he looked out towards the rising sun.
"GOODNESS!" He heard his mentors voice announce in surprise, signaling he had finally arrived and Midoriya smirked. 'Did…it…'
And with that thought his legs gave out and he plummeted off the side of the trash heap before being caught up in his mentors hands. "Young Midoriya, you never cease to amaze!"
"I finished it…all…without using the Omnitrix…" The boy said as tried to catch his breathe, being set back on his feet by the hulking blonde.
"Excellent work. Truly, you are an amazing choice to be the next bearer of One for All, if I do say so myself."
"All Might…" Midoriya muttered before looking up at the blonde with a frown, a question dancing through his mind. "Is rem months really enough? For so much power?"
"Honestly? Only to not die, using it might be a different story when it comes to hurting you though im afraid…" all Might admitted with a quirked brow. "Why do you ask?"
"Don't get me wrong, of course I WANT one for all….but if my body needs more time…." The boy turned his gaze to his mentor and held up his wrist with the Omnitrix attached. "Do you think, I'd be able to…and allowed….to use the Omnitrix?"
"I had a feeling you'd ask." The pro admitted as he transformed back into his regular form. "I checked myself, support items are allowed for people who need them, and seeing as you're down as quirkless, i'd say you definitely qualify. You're sure about this?"
"Yeah…Don't think i'm not ungrateful or anything, really I am so thankful for all of this!....but, if the power is still too much, i'd rather train more to be ready for it. Not to mention, i'm probably going to rely on the omnitrix anyways, seeing as i'm more used to it."
All Might sighed before a smile spread on his face and he turned to walk away, gesturing for the boy to follow. "It's your choice kid. If you want to wait, we'll wait. Hope this whole exercise still gave you some good help for when you can't go alien though. Your absolutely certain?"
"Definitely."
"Well then, lets go see if U.A. ever prepared for an alien invasion."
Chapter 6: U.A. Entertance Exam
Midoriya gazed up nervously at the sign to the entrance of U.A. high. The school he'd always wanted to attend was before him, with the only chance he'd ever have at getting in.
His hand moved over the omnitrix, clutching it as a gentle reminder he had what he needed for dealing with what was going to come. "Hope I got the right alien…"
"Move it, Deku." Came the annoyed tone of Bakugou as he deliberately barged the boy out the way and stalked on, leaving the greenette to look on after him unimpressed. 'He's not been as bad as he used to be ever since the slime villain attack…but since I got the omnitrix he 's been sending death glares so much. Guess he couldn't keep his hands to himself forever…'
Shaking his head the boy continued on his way, he had nothing to worry about concerning Bakugou, he just had to focus on the exam. Taking a stride forward with new found drive he smiled, with the Omnitrix he'd be just fine
And then his foot hit a crack in the floor and the ground started approaching fast. He braced for impact as he closed his eyes tight but the collision never came. Cracking an eye open to check he started flailing about when he realized he was suspended in the air, only calming down when he felt a hand on his back set him upright again.
"Sorry about using my quirk, but I figured you wouldn't mind me catching you." A kind, feminine voice said and the boy turned to see a cute girl with short brown hair and rosy cheeks smiling at him, bundled up in a big coat and scarf. "I'm Ocacho Uraraka."
"Uh…"
"Isn't this all like, super nerve racking?" She asked and the boy just continued to stare with what he was sure was the dumbest expression ever. 'Why yes it is quite nerve racking. That's all you need to say you moron!'
"uhhh….."
"Well see you inside. Nice watch by the way!" The girl said as she walked off and the boy just continued to stand there for a moment before he came to his senses and slapped himself hard.
"What was that! Not even a simple thank you?!" He berated himself as he finally set on his way again. Groaning he just accepted he was never going to be good at interacting with girls. It didn't help when he wasn't used to anyone being nice to him either. "If I run into her again i'll have to make up for that."
"Sir…Not to impede on your greatness but why are we still waiting? The longer the child possesses the omnitrix, the more he learns to use it and it becomes harder to take. We already know what alien species he has access to, why keep waiting?"
"Patient, underling. We must know what he knows of their capabilities so we know what to expect when we fight him. I will not make the mistake of coming unprepared against someone wielding one of the greatest devices in the universe, even if they are just a child."
"But sir…"
"Enough! Lest you be the next head mounted on my trophy wall. We are almost finished collecting data anyway, we just need to see his tenth transformation one more time."
Midoriya fiddled with the dial of his watch as he and the rest of his group stood at the gate into where the practical portion of the exam would take place. The written tests had already taken place and then they had sat through an explanation on how the practical worked.
The explanation had been simple enough, that even when he had been briefly distracted by his own 'fan-boying' over Present Mic of all people doing the explanation he still understood the exercise. He wish he hadn't though as while Bakugou (who he had been sat beside) ignored him like he had for years. Some blue haired boy had taken offense to his muttering, calling him out in front of the entire stadium.
None of his alien could reduce the embarrassment of that.
'We just have to destroy as many robots as possible and avoid the zero pointer robots. Easy. He's not the fastest speed wise but colossus should be perfect for dealing with this exam so long as those robots aren't to fast.'
Once his watch was set and ready to transform him he looked around the group he was in, and to his surprise he spotted the brown haired girl from before doing some breathing exercises. 'Oh! Great, I better go say thanks while I can..'
He started to move towards her to do just that when a firm hand set down on his shoulder, turning him to face the one person aside from Bakugou he didn't want to bump into.
The tall blue haired teen from before, in some fancy sports like attire was glaring at him disapprovingly and Midoriya almost cursed at his luck. The boy turned to see the path the greenette was taking and shook his head. "She's clearly trying to prepare for the trials ahead. Are you really going to distract her like in the test hall?"
Midoriya shook his hands as he went to explain himself but before he could a bell sounded distracting them all.
"ALRIGHT LISTENERS! AREE YOU READDDYY?! AFTER MY COUNTDOWN WE'RE GONNA BEGIN SO PREPARE YOURSELVES! 10!"
The blue haired teen let go and prepared himself, accidentally bumping into Midoriya's hand as he turned away.
"9! 8! 7! 6!"
The omnitrix bearer sighed as he set his hand over his watch, not noticing the changed selection
"5! 4! 3! 2! 1!"
BEEP.
"GO!"
Before Midoriya could even blink the rest pf his group were off like rockets, the blue haired teen seemingly leading the pack. Determined not to fall behind the boy pressed in the dial, ready to charge through with his giant dinosaur form.
A bright flash later and instead of towering at 12 foot tall and being able to punch through steel the boy looked around at the world that become gigantic, as he had turned into an alien who didn't stand even 12 Inches tall.
"Braniac?!" He questioned, looking down at his three fingered hands before it hit him what must of happened. "That boy bumping into me must of rotated the selection dial, changing what DNA was implemented into me….wait that's how the omnitrix works?! I should use brainy more ofte-Focus!"
Looking around he took in his surroundings as he ran into the fray, still faster than his regular form as he leaped across the street. He had frog like feet and sticky pads on his fingers. The omnitrix symbol resided on his back which was a problem. 'It had to be the one alien I can't turn back from. Ok think, I have frog like qualities in this form, and still a decent amount of strength. I'm not a fighter in this form though so….'
As he ran, one of the robots worth two points showed, barreling towards him yet it made no move to attack, likely unable to see him due to his size. Smirking, the alien had an idea as he leapt up and grabbed onto the robots side, crawling up to a crack in it's armor. 'My major advantage in this form, super level intelligence.'
Looking around the inside of the robot he had gotten inside he saw hundreds of wires running about and even a screen where the robots 'eyes' were, allowing the frog like alien to see outside. Grabbing a red wire he pulled it out and hopped up to a similar blue wire, also unplugging that. 'Let's see, if I can't fight and my opponents all have their own scores, I can't make them for me. But none of these robots have a score obviously, so if I replace this wire in the optic targeting systems motherboard with this wire from the motion detection sensor, and do a little quick reprogramming…'
As he thought he carried all this out, taking another few extra cables as well. The lights in the robots eyes died down for a moment before they cam back on, now green in color. 'Nice! And now fight for me my robotic minion!'
Leaping onto the roof of the robot, Braniac climbed out another crack in the robot and watched as it changed course, charging at a single-point robot and slicing it in half. A grin passed his face as he walked up to the edge of his robot, before leaping onto a building when he got a chance. 'That should rack up a few points, but the rest of the students are still gonna attack mine.'
CRASH!
The frog-like teen had to cling on tight trying not to fall off his place perched on the building when a three point robot smashed through it, coming out beneath him. 'Well, I needed another robot anyways'
He leapt down, landing on the robots head and quickly repeating the process. Once he got out he leapt off onto a street lamp and watch it go on its way, only to be destroyed by a blue laser before it could even do anything. 'Oh come on!'
The exercise was only fifteen minutes long, and now that the tenth had passed, Midoriya was once more in human form, waiting for his watch to recharge. He didn't seem particularly concerned as he had reprogrammed twenty different robots and as far as All Might was aware, six were still active.
"This years candidates are quite promising. I wonder were that frog guy went though, he had a pretty interesting approach i've not seen before. Or even a quirk like his." One of the U.A. faculty, a hero named snipe said.
"He's the green haired kid there." All Might said, pointing at his successor. Multiple sets of eyes turned to look at him confused and he realized what he said.
You know each other?" Midnight, a provocative and controversial heroine with long black hair, asked with a smirk. The number one pro stuck his tongue out in response.
"We met a few times yeah. Interesting kid, no quirk which is why you haven't seen anything like what he did." All Might said and tried not to fist pump as he congratulated himself internally on getting out of that little spot. "See that watch on his wrist?"
"Yeah? What about it?"
"It's a support item, a fancy one. It's what he uses in place of a quirk, effective i'd say." The blonde explained and most of the teachers expressions became those of interest and surprise, though at the back they all missed the scoff that cam from one Shota Aizawa.
"Well, anyways the students are doing well, but the real challenge is up next." The principal, a small odd amalgam of a dog, bear and mouse said, pressing a button on his desk. "There's still the zero pointer after all."
Midoriya felt a slight sweat run down his neck as he looked around, his watch still in the midst of recharging. Almost all his reprogrammed robots were destroyed and he was still not able to do anything more.
He was mostly just keeping on the tin to avoid any bots that would come after him when a loud rumble was heard, making everyone stop in surprise. 'An earthquake?'
Dust start to shake off the buildings as the greenette turned to the source of the noise and his eyes nearly bulged out of his skull. Standing as tall as a full sized colossus was a giant robot, in a very familiar shape.
"Think of the zero pointer as an obstacle you should try to avoid."
'That's the zero pointer?!' Midoriya wondered, bewildered as he took a step back, losing his balance on ending up sat on the floor. Some who had already come to their senses ran past him, including the blue haired teen.
Shaking his head the boy stood up as well, turning to run. Before his foot could even come back down onto the ground again though he heard something that made him freeze. "OW!"
Turning around, he saw the brown haired girl on the floor, some rubble pinning her legs down. She tried to stand but she was trapped with the zero pointer barreling towards her.
The omnitrix returned to a vibrant green color.
Beep. Bwooo.
"Sorry I didn't ask first, but I figured you wouldn't mind me catching you."
Without a second thought Midoriya charged towards the two, hand spinning through his list of aliens. 'Not Crystalize, not Goop, not Braniac!'
He got the one he wanted and pressed in the face, and while the usual green flash occurred Midoriya's form could be seen in the lights before it changed and he grew, taller and taller.
The light dissipated and even people in some other training areas stopped when they saw Midoriya. To the teen, people became ants, buildings looked like doll houses and the zero pointer barely came up to the boy's calf in his new form.
"I think this guy should be called goliath." The teen said, now in the form of a two hundred foot tall white skinned giant that had green markings on his hands and feet. His voice carried without effort and even from another city he could likely be spotted. His feet barely fit in the alley and he set a hand on top of the robot, picking it up with zero effort. "And you, i'll call 'screwed!'"
As he said this he brought up his other hand, crushing the robot into a small tiny ball of scraps, which the giant proceeded to place on top of one of the roofs. Looking down, he very carefully got onto his knees while making sure not to hit anything or anyone, picking up the rubble off of the girl, before placing her into one of his hands and lifting her up to face him at eye level as she just stared, flabbergasted.
"Hey, you ok?" He asked concern and the girl just nodded her head, seemingly unsure what to say. 'Oh how the tables turned.' "Ok good. Thanks for catching me earlier by the way. I'll put you down now, hold on."
He leaned down once more, making his hand into a kind of slide onto the ground. Once the girl was safe the boy tapped his chest, where the omnitrix symbol was and he transformed back into regular old Midoriya. "Now just gotta try to nag some more points and…"
BEEP!
"TIMES UP!"
"…Or not." 'Did I get enough points to pass.'
All Might smirked as he looked at the score boards.
Sitting comfortably in second place of the rankings was his succesor.
