Chapter 15: The Unforseen Simulation Joint
"Huh? Where's your costume Deku?" Uraraka asked as she pinched at her own skin-tight outfit, as 1-A prepared to head to their first every rescue training lesson. "It wasn't destroyed in training so…"
"I thought it'd be better to go without for now." The greenette explained as he scratched the back of his head, watching Iida and Yaoyorozu work together to get everyone ready to leave. "After all, the only part that served actual function was this utility belt. All my aliens get rid of my clothes so I thought i'd be as well going with the best outfit I had available and i'm still not used to the material of that jumpsuit."
"Oh, I suppose that makes sense." The brunnette nodded as the two of them clambered onto the bus, taking them to today's hero training. Rescue at 'The Unforseen Simulation Joint'. "Though it might look a bit weird. Everyone else in costume then there will just be you in a PE suit."
"Well, I could just make a gimmick out of loving exercise." The omnitrix wielder chuckled lightly as he said this, taking a seat in between Iida and Asui, Uraraka sitting across from him with Yaoyorozu and Kirishima.
"I thought that would more be Kirishima's deal. Ribbit." Asui put in with stoic face and the red head pouted, though it was clear there was a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. While his friends continued to talk and poke fun at one another, Midoriya started fiddling with his watch, trying to guess who would be the best for whatever was to come.
'Maybe I should debut someone new if I have the chance…Reverb? Probably a bad idea in a landslide. Maybe Colossus will finally come out? It's been a little too long since I used him anyways…'
"…Though probably Midoriya's got one of the best chance out of any of us to go pretty far, considering the fact that his aliens are all super strong in their own right. Not to mention he can be as flashy as he likes." The greenette picked up on Kirishima talking and the red head hardened his arm into a point. "I mean my hardening can help beat bad guys in a fight easily but it's really bland next to a full diamond body."
"Huh? Oh no way! I think your hardening is super awesome actually!" Midoriya shook his head as he realized most everyone in class was listening to them, causing him to blush lightly. He scratched the back of his head as he defended his friend's quirk. "Not to mention you can use it at will, I have to decide ahead of time exactly what I'm going to do and then have to do it on a time limit. So I can mess up pretty easily if I accidentally pick braniac or something when I need Blink."
"Brainiac?" Iida questioned, readjusting his glasses. "I don't believe you've explained that one before."
"Oh, well he's actually how I got past the entrance practical exam." The Omnitrix wielder revealed and tried to ignore the squeaking of the chairs as half the class seemed to lean in, curious. 'My aliens aren't really that interesting are they?' "I wasn't planning to use him but I got knocked over by someone and ended up transforming into him against my will."
"So what is he exactly then? Ribbit." Asui asked, finger to her chin. The teen boy couldn't help the laugh that escaped him.
"It's actually kind of funny you of all people asked Asui-"
"I told you to call me Tsu."
"Right, sorry. Anyways it's funny you asked, cause the closest thing I can compare him to is a frog." The greenette explained and Yaoyorouzu rose an eyebrow. "A bipedal, tongue less frog but it's really the closest thing I can think of."
"So what's his powers then? I mean all your transformations are scary overpowered in some way or another." Ashido asked as she leaned over her seat behind Jirou, practically touching her face against the hearing girl. The purple haired girl just scowled at the girl invading her space. "And how did he get you in then? I thought you turned into a giant!"
"Only at the end, and It's nothing that special, really, he's basically just super smart. Basically while I'm in that form, I can understand any tech I look at or solve practically any equation thrown my way. I've tried but there's nothing I haven't been able to not solve in less than five minutes as him." He explained, looking out the window to see that they were nearing their destination. He failed to notice Aizawa staring intently at him. "I'd originally planned to bash my way through with one of my stronger aliens, but annoyingly he's the only one I can't turn back from. Really, it's an annoying flaw when you're in your least resistant form."
"You couldn't turn back?" Kaminari asked and the greenette nodded.
"To turn back, like you saw Kacchan do in training, I have to press the symbol three times in succession. It's a failsafe." 'I think.' "So anyways, what I ended up doing was using my smarts to rewire the robots to destroy themselves and attack each other."
"Oh, that explains why one barreled into another in front of me." Iida muttered and Midoriya chuckled. "That has been confusing me for weeks."
"Whoops."
"Still, you're probably going to do better than some of us. Ribbit. Bakugou especially I don't see going far, with his attitude." The frog girl commented bluntly and the blonde, hearing in the slight let off a blast as he stood up.
"THE FUCK YOU SAY FROG BRAIN?!"
"See what I mean? Ribbit." The greenette said as she pointed at him, and Midoriya tried his hardest not to grin. 'They're making fun of Kacchan and not me….'
"Alright guys, we're here." Aizawa announced as the bus pulled up. "Just go inside, I'll catch up in a moment. Thirteen will greet you there."
"Yes sir!" Everyone chorused as the stood and made their way out. As they walked, Midoriya felt a pinch on his neck and slapped it instinctively. Checking, he saw nothing and shrugged it off as nothing.
He failed to notice the fly like creature mangled on the ground, metal insides sparking and fizzing.
The USJ was massive from the outside, shaped like a giant dome with a tinted glass ceiling and iron supports. Standing in front of it, ready for them all was a pro wearing a white puffy space suit was the rescue hero, Thirteen.
"I can't believe it's really them! I'm a huge fan." Uraraka said excitedly besides the greenette, fists shaking in excitement. "I wonder what they'll think of your alien theme with their space theme…"
"I have no idea, i'm just excited to finally be doing rescue training." Midoriya answered with a toothy grin. 'This is what i've been waiting for.'
"Hello everyone! I'm glad you all could make it! I'm Thirteen and this is my rescue training facility." The space hero introduced themselves before unlocking the door and gesturing for them all to come in. "Step inside and give me your name as you walk in!"
The class made their way inside, Uraraka and Midoriya near the back of the group. As they walked the greenette heard a small clang and turned to see his friend about to fall on her face.
Quickly he grabbed her shoulders and set her back upright. The brunette let out a sigh of relief and the Omnitrix wielder spotted the culprit, a rock set in the dirt. "Thanks, Deku."
"N-no problem." He said, smiling to himself as he remembered how they met in the first place. They made their way inside at the back of the pack.
"Seeing as everyone else is in, you must be Midoriya and Uraraka." Thirteen said and the students nodded in reply, the lights on the helmet of the heroes suit seemed to change to resemble a smile. "I've especially been looking forward to meeting you two!"
"And it's great to meet you!" Uraraka said as she clapped her hands together and beamed. Midoriya echoed the sentiment and felt his jaw drop as they made their way inside.
"This facility is split into different zones, so different quirks work better in certain areas, but despite that all pro's need to be ready for any eventuality. The best pro's are able to adapt, even in situations that directly counter them." Thirteen started lecturing, walking to the front of the group. The entire class seemed to hang onto their every word, missing their home room teachers arrival. "And of course, with this being rescue training I also have to remind you that your quirks and powers are, and will always be dangerous if you use them incorrectly. Take my quirk for example, Blackhole. I may be a rescue hero but the destructive nature of my power could easily be used to kill. In fact I believe you witnessed the danger of quirks first hand in your last exercise."
A low snarl sounded from a certain blonde. The teachers ignored it.
"You'll be training here for three hours. You will spend ten minutes in each area, with five minute breaks in between." The space hero announced and a wide grin split across the greenette's face. 'Couldn't be more perfect…'
"Wait hang on, wasn't All Might supposed to be here as well?" Kirishima asked and the omnitrix wielder blinked, surprised he missed the man's absence in his excitement. He saw Thirteen hold up three fingers to their homeroom teacher and realization dawned upon him.
'I saw some headlines this morning about All Might stopping a few crimes on his way to school. Which means…He went passed his limit.'
"All Might's still adjusting to his new role as teacher. We all struggled at first to balance hero work and teaching. Alright guys, we should start at the-" Aizawa began to instruct them but he suddenly stopped, eyes narrowing in concern. "Midoriya what's happening with your watch?"
"-H-huh?" The greenette pulled up the Omnitrix confused and felt his eyes go wide as he saw little green sparks of electricity flying around the now yellow interface. "What the-AHHHH!"
Everyone instinctively jumped back, as the electricity suddenly burst around the teen. 'I…I can't….move!'
"Midoriya!" Thirteen shouted in surprise when suddenly a few of the lights around them went out. Just at the corner of his vision the greenette could see a swirling purple mass, which multiple people walked out of. 'No….it can't be.'
CLUNK. WHIRRR. BZZT.
'Are these…the ones who attacked me?'
"EVERYONE GET BACK. THIRTEEN, COVER MIDORIYA. THIS ISN'T A DRILL, THOSE ARE VILLAINS." Aizawa's concerned voice rang out and the greenette would of gulped if he could. "IIDA, GET OUT AND GET BACKUP ASAP!"
"Yes sir!" The engine teen said and sounded as if he ran ahead but Midoriya couldn't be sure. A moment later though he definitely could be sure that stairwell they were on was surrounded by the purple mist, and a new voice spoke up.
"Perplexing. The schedule we retrieved said All Might should be here, yet he's not." A wispy, eerie voice said, that would of made Midoriya shudder if he was capable. "Curious?"
"All Might? I thought they were attacking Midoriya?" Mina asked, confused. He could practically feel the air around him withering at the laugh that followed. Not by the voice from before but a new one.
"Ha, some of us have more important goals to deal with. Thank you Kurogiri. I'll take the brat now."
"MIDORIYA!"
"DEKU!"
Suddenly, the floor disappeared beneath the teen and he crashed into solid ground. The paralysis dropped and he scrambled up, coming face to face with a towering muscular figure.
His skin was green and he had tentacles falling over his mouth like a squid. His eyes were angry red pin pricks and he wore metallic brown armor over his body.
"We finally meet, Midoriya. I am Vilgax. Conquer of ten worlds." The creature said, as it bowed ever so slightly towards him, but not out of respect, solely out of needing to do so to see Izuku better. "And the death of many more."
Then he stood up straight again and the freckled teen felt the unadulterated hate radiating off him. Not just a thug with some powers but a genuine threat, an actual villain stood before him. A villain…
"You have something of mine, and I will have it back."
…A villain he knew wouldn't hesitate to kill him.
Chapter 16: Vilgax
"Your watch? Wait, then you're the one who sent those drones after me?!" Midoriya questioned as the towering figure of Vilgax stomped towards him. The ground shook as he did, and the boy gulped. "And let me guess, you're not really with those villains?"
"Perceptive, as usual. I will admit, for a human you were somewhat impressive facing my soldiers but they hold no candle to me. This is the end of your pointless hero charade, the watch is my rightful property!" Vilgax growled as his stride got faster. The greenette gritted his teeth and lifted the watch. 'Please give me something good…'
"If this is your watch then i'm afraid I'm confiscating it permanently!" He said as his slammed down on the dial. The familiar green flash coated the boy and his form shrunk, his head widened and Vilgax looked down to see the white and green silicone suit of his opponents new form. "Re-verb? Works f-or me!"
"A Sonosarian? How pathetic." Midoriya leapt back out the way of a fist that came crashing towards him and his body glowed lightly as his body began to split, until another Reverb leapt out of him. This repeated constantly and in an instant, Vilgax was surrounded by dozens of clones.
"Ge-t hi-m boy-s." The original clone commanded and they all rushed forth, in an attempt to dogpile the alien. It didn't work as the muscular alien shook them off and tore some of the clones apart, causing him to dissipate. "Cr-ap. Slow-him do-wn."
The remain clones opened there mouths wide and the rest of the noise in the building was instantly drowned out by the screaming the rapidly multiplying aliens produced.
"AHHH YOU INSOLENT PESTS!" Vilgax screamed as he cupped his ears, slowly being pushed back by the sound waves. He then suddenly charged forward through the attack, smashing the clones out of the way and disrupting the attack.
"Ow-ow-ow!" Random clones complained as they all stood up. Vilgax stood tall above the original Reverb with a harsh glare. "Uh-oh."
"No mere sound can hold down me, child. It's almost a shame you don't know what you're dealing with." The villain said as went down to pick the boy up. The sound alien groaned as he glared back.
"Nei-ther do you." He said simply, and rapidly cloned as many times as he possibly could. Vilgax's eyes widened and he quickly balled his hand into a fist but he was too late. "Impro-vised Special Mov-e…"
"So-nic Laun-cher!" He announced and every clone let out a full power short sonic scream, knocking the monster off his feet and giving the teen some breathing room. "Sur-prised that wor-ked."
The army of clones all got to their feet and the prime Reverb took cover behind a rock. "Se-cond Spe-cial move. One So-und Army."
As Vilgax climbed to his feet, the clones once more let out full power screams, however this time they refused to let up. Vilgax continued to be moved back, as the ground split and cracked. Were it a human on the other end, there head would be liable to explode. Literally.
Vilgax dropped his hands from his ears, screaming in pain or fury as he grabbed a giant chuck of the ground and swung around, launching it at the armada. The sound slowed it down but the villain had thrown it with so much force that avoiding it was impossible. The majority of the clones were wiped out, only one managing to dodge out the way.
BEEP BEEP BEEP.
"Oh co-me on. Not now. It's not even be-en ten min-utes." The clone complained and Prime Reverb silently agreed from his hiding place.
BWOO.
'I…we're still separate?'
"Yes, I wasn't so much of a fool to not take precautions against such a powerful device. Still it's annoying Galvan tech, so there's no time to explain." The squid like alien said, grabbing the clone Midoriya by the arm and yanking him into the air. "No use explaining it to a clone or a corpse anyway, and you're both."
Splat!
"Ugh!" The clones eyes widened as Vilgax's fists went straight through his stomach and out the other side. The original Midoriya felt like he was going to be sick. Then, the now dead clone morphed into a green light and flew back into the Omnitrix, giving away the real teen's hiding position. Vilgax gave a small, cruel grin.
"Finally, time that I get what I should never have been denied." Vilgax said and Midoriya quickly scrambled back, only to bump into another rock. "And I have to thank you, Midoriya for confirming something for me. No normal Sonosarian could fend me off like that, Omnitrix aliens truly are the pinnacle of their species."
He lifted the teen up by his shirt and Midoriya shivered as he saw nothing but endless hate in those red eyes. "And you still couldn't beat me. That is why I am Vilgax, why those who know me tremble before me. Only insignificant insects kneel, and everyone kneels before me."
"Y-yeah well I wouldn't want to look at that f-face either." Midoriya got out, throat dry.
"You think you're funny?" Vilgax asked, and before the boy could answer he was smashed into the ground. He felt the air leave him as the villain got a hold of his leg and beat him into the ground again, before launching him up and punching him into a nearby tree. The teen barely lifted himself up, feeling his eye beginning to swell. 'I think he…broke my everything. I think All Might would…struggle with….this guy."
"Midoriya! Get off him you bastard!" Aizawa's concerned voice yelled out and the greenette's breathe hitched as he turned to see Aizawa bolting at them, flinging out his capture tape.
"Wait no, Don't!-" Too late, the tape wrapped around Vilgax's body, looping around his arms and legs. Aizawa rushed forth and presumably went to go for a kick, Midoriya had no idea though as the alien yanked the pro towards him and caught him by the head. The pro let out a scream as the aliens grip tightened. "Mister Aizawa, no!"
"Hmph. I'm in a rush, so be wise and take this opportunity I give you human." The monster growled as he threw the man up and batted him away, seemingly uncaring about the capture tape around him. "Do not follow us. Shigaraki, let your pet play."
"P-pet?" Both teacher and student questioned and suddenly a giant muscular bird like creature slammed down beside a white haired man covered in decapitated hands.
"Nomu. He's a perfect counter to All Might, but a little practice won't hurt…" the white haired villain, presumably Shigaraki said. "I fail to see how this brat is at all more worth it than the number one hero."
"You fail to see a lot of things. Is the warp ready?"
Beep.
Midoriya looked down as the two villains conversed, Aizawa recovering. The Omnitrix had recharged.
"Whatever. Nomu, kill Eraserhead…" The white haired villain commanded and the bird like creature suddenly smashed Aizawa into the ground. "…and make it slow."
"Noo!" Midoriya shouted as he struggled in Vilgax's grasp. Aizawa turned to try to roll away, Nomu's foot about to come down atop him. Vilgax grabbed tighter at the teen and there was a sudden growing green light coming from the boy.
"What?!" Vilgax questioned before suddenly being blasted back, the Omnitrix exploding like it had before with Bakugou. Midoriya didn't focus on that, instead immediately slamming down on the interface as he turned towards his teacher.
A green flash engulfed him and then all of a sudden, Crystalize burst out of the smoke at full speed, firing out crystal projectiles. "Get off him!"
Nomu didn't react as the crystals bounced off him and even one or two lodged into his brain and went through. Midoriya wasn't discouraged though, immediately dropping and coating the floor in crystal.
Nomu's foot came down on a shield as Aizawa was quickly carried away and the Nomu was trapped. Shigaraki also was knocked back by a block of crystal but otherwise unaffected.
"Wow, that's quite the ability you have." The hand covered villain mocked as he recovered, and Crystallize carried his teacher to safety behind cover. "But….Nomu won't be stopped so easily."
CRACK. CRACK. SHATTER.
"Sir, are you ok?" The transformed teen questioned his teacher from their point hidden near the forest, and the man groaned, standing up.
"I'm…sorry."
"huh?"
"I'm you're teacher, you shouldn't need to rescue me. Save yourself." The scraggly man ordered as he stood.
"And leave you to face two guys that would give All Might trouble? No!" He immediately argued, and the teacher glared.
"I will expel you!
"Fine then, expel me. It won't change the fact you need help, and I can give it." The teen said without missing a beat and Aizawa blinked, before a light but pained smile crossed his face, just for a moment.
"You really are like him. Fine, only because of the situation and because everyone else is scattered around. We can't let those two get away and run into any unprepared students." Aizawa said, before the ground started to rumble. "Incoming!"
"If I get your capture tape back can you take Shigaraki?"
"Yes. I'll keep him distracted in the mean time. You sure you can handle that villain?"
"Alien sir. And it's not a matter of can or can't."
Suddenly, some of the trees flew apart and a clearing opened up revealing an annoyed Vilgax. Crystalize glared, instantly sending out a massive pillar of crystal to knock him back. "I just will!"
"Nice try, Midoriya!" The alien said as he punched the crystals into pieces, sending them flying. "But you will finally learn to fear-
"Get over yourself, Gaxxy." The crystal manipulator interrupted, rushing forward. At this point, he was starting to get angry. "You're another bully, just like every other villain, and I swear on everything I value I refuse to fear any bully ever again! No matter who they are!"
Midoriya faked going in for a punch, backing out just at the last moment as Vilgax went to counter, crystal structures bursting out of the ground and knocking the villain into the sky. The crystal alien continued storming forth, creating and leaping onto taller and taller pillars before catching Vilgax by the arm and slamming him into the diamond floor, grabbing the tape and throwing it towards the side Aizawa would be on. He didn't look though, as his opponent rushed at him.
Diamond fist meet metal and the two aliens struggled against each other a couple of moments. However, cracks started forming along Crystalize's arm and he quickly retreated upon noticing them, only to be uppercutted off the podium to the floor below. 'Ok, no clashing then.'
Splish. Splash.
"AHHH!"
The teens eyes widened and he looked a way a moment as he recognized the voice, seeing a ship on water surrounded by villains. On it, he spotted two of his classmates. 'Mineta? Asui? Oh that can't be good.'
A loud bang got the boys attention and he turned to see Vilgax running towards him. He grinned as an idea came to mind. The villain got closer and the boy dropped, creating one massive structure out the ground to throw the villain out the way. It worker just barely, and the structure continued going, diving into the lake and 'freezing' it all solid, as well as leaving a little present for his friends.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Finally."
'No!'
Bwoo.
Midoriya turned nervously, coming face to face with Vilgax. He fried to run but..
BZZZT
"AAAHHHHHH!" He screamed as he dropped, unable to move. Vilgax grabbed him and started dragging him away, as he was unable to resist.
"Midoriya!"
BOOM!
'What…'
"About time he showed up."
"I AM HERE!"
Though he couldn't get a proper look, Midoriya could see his mentor at the USJ entrance. Standing tall, emanating raw fury.
And he wasn't smiling.
"Too late." Vilgax said, almost as if his very tone was smiling and blue bars surrounded both him and Midoriya. Villains all around suddenly were kocked out and removed, and then there All Might stood before them face shocked and almost in fear.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY SO- MY STUDENT!"
It hurt, it hurt like hell to move anything through this electric containment but if he put all his effort in, used all his strength he could just about get out a few words.
"Focus…on…Nomu…"
Then, the USJ disappeared. Everything he knew disappeared. Midoriya blinked and he was no longer in the USJ. He was on a cold hard metal floor, looking out a window.
A window that showed him the planet earth.
Chapter 17: What makes you, You
"Ah!" Midoriya hissed as wire after wire was plugged into him, creating little curs all along his arm. He was trapped, arms and legs bound by some circle shaped contraption holding him prisoner.
His hands and feet were bound by shackles and his watch was sat snug inside the biggest one, unable to be used.
"Test one, overloading." Vilgax said to one of his drone soldiers, Midoriya glaring at him. The robot seemingly nodded and typed in some codes. 'Overloading?' "500 volts."
"BZZT BUZZ BZZT."
"Ahh, szzz, ahhh." Midoriya groaned and hissed as blue bolts of electricity started to course near him, not yet painful but incredibly unpleasant. Then his eyes widened. 'Oh no, they're gonna….'
"1000 volts."
"AHH! STOP—AHAHAHHH" He felt tears begin to prick at his eyes as the unforgiving machine started burning him, leaving him gasping for air when it finally cut off. "Ahh….You….."
"No visible changes so far. I will get this watch, whether I have to kill you or not." VIlgax said simply, looking over some readings the greenette couldn't make out.
"Over my…..dead…..body….."
"That's the idea. Let's stop playing around. 500,000 volts."
'No! That's'
"Sir?"
"Do it."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH STO AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ALLL MIiGHHHHHTTTTT HELPPP….."
The muscular villain wasn't satisfied however, continuing to up the voltage and seemingly taking pleasure in the boy's pained and terrified screams.
"Sir, the Omnitrix is still not affected." The drone announced and the squid like villain laughed, seemingly causing the room's temperature to drop from that alone. "Sir?"
"Of course it didn't. Cut the power."
The greenette slouched forth, breathing heavily as the current ceased, tears falling freely and his whole body feeling as though it had ceased to exist. Vilgax stepped forth, lifting up the teen's head to look him in the eye.
"That….was for all the trouble you've given me so far. Now I will take what's rightfully mine. DNA Identification Code 2307861."
Though muffled, a voice replied, seemingly coming from inside the shackle with the watch. "Code recognized. Bearer reset imminent, please standby for DNA scans."
'Is that…the Omnitrix?'
"Release the brat's arm." Vilgax commanded and the shackle holding his Omnitrix was let loose. His arm dropped as he was still recovering from the shock and he felt his blood run cold, as it started to slip away.
Then, it fell off, clattering with the floor. The Omnitrix….was no longer a part of him. "N…no…."
"Finally, after so long, just picture it. An army of aliens, all under my command.…Droid, take this to that room I had you set up. It will need time to reset." The villain instructed and the robot took the watch away. Weakly, Midoriya tried to reach out to it but he ended up just falling on his face when the rest of the shackles opened up. "Cross, I don't want to take any chances with this brat still being on the ship after how long he's possessed my watch. Throw him off the ship, preferably back towards his little cesspool of a planet."
"Cross is on it!" A gruff voice spoke up and the now watch-less teen forced his head up, surprised to see a bipedal tiger with claws and an almost luchador like outfit. 'Another alien?'
"G-good kitty…" He muttered dumbly, unable to think of anything else to say. Bad idea. Suddenly he was lifted up by his shirt with a pissed of alien tiger snarling in his face, fist reeled back to attack.
"Let me tell you something, ugly looking earth kid! No one calls Cross a kitty but Cross, and CROSS NEVER CALLS KITTY A CROSS!" Cross yelled in his face, fist incoming fast before it was intercepted by Vilgax.
"Did I tell you to beat him to a bloody pulp? No? Then don't do it! I don't have time for your antics." He chided, and the alien seemed to deflate a little before dropping the boy to the floor and dragging him away. "Now that's a good kitty."
"…"
Midoriya didn't recover for quite a while, yet fortunately the ship was quite large so he at least had time to rest as his back was dragged along the rough metal floor.
Cross muttered to himself annoyed the entire way to wherever they were going, constantly referring to himself in the third person. For some reason, the greenette couldn't help but feel Bakugou both would and would not get along with the alien.
He tried his best to think of anything he could do to escape, to run, to get away but there was no way he could get his hand loose from the alien long enough to escape him and even if he did, he still had to figure out how to face Vilgax and get home.
No matter what, even if he had to die to save it, he was not letting Vilgax keep his alien paws on the Omnitrix. 'But….he's so strong….how do I face somewhat like that without a quirk?'
How did you plan to prove your worth to U.A before you met All Might?
He winced as Cross dropped him beside a door and started fishing through his pockets, only to groan and shout. "AHH DAMMIT! CROSS FORGOT THE KEYCARD! LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING SOLID TITANIUM DOOR PREVENTING CROSS FROM DOING WHAT VILGAX ASKED! CROSS WILL HAVE A KEYCARD NEXT TIME AND CROSS WILL USE THAT KEYCARD ON YOU REAL GOOD, AHHH!"
With that he yanked the greenette back to his feet and stomped off, dragging him to a door and inputting some code, causing it to slide open. "PRISONERS! CROSS BROUGHT YOU A FRIEND, HE WILL BE GONE SOON SO ENJOY IT!"
Midoriya was thrown across the room like a ragdoll, colliding with the wall and falling to the ground with a thud. 'Ow…'
The door slid shut and the greenette took a second to look around once there wasn't spots in his vision. It was a mostly barren room, however there was something almost akin to a large hamster wheel in the room, linked up to various generators. As he continued to look around…
"Uhh, hi?" A high pitched, curious voice said and the boy looked down, coming face to face with two aliens, standing roughly the same size as a ten year old child. They had full body pink clothing and white bodies, as well as pigtails in their head. The teen really hoped it wasn't racist to think they looked the exact same. "We're JJ. You're a human, right?"
"Uh yeah….I…wait, we?" He questioned as he started to stand up, finally feeling some…well feeling coming back to him. 'I'm recovering way to fast from what happened back there…Did the Omnitrix save me?'
"Oh, yeah, I forgot most human's don't know much about 'aliens' for some reason." One of the two laughed, rubbing the back of her head while the other took over. "We're a Splixson, we can split into multiples of ourselves!"
"Oh…so it's like…ah, what did Vilgax call him? A Sonosarian?" He questioned while looking for anything useful and the two JJ's looked at each other with crossed arms.
"I guess that's fair for someone who doesn't know much. The difference is a Sonosarian is a single shared conscious among multiple bodies more or less. They lack agency, doing everything the prime Sonosarian wants. We Splixson are independent, able to act of our own accord when split." The first JJ said with a flourish of her body, while the other sat down and started drumming her fingers against the floor as she took over. "So we can play games, and the like our even create full colonies from a single Splixson."
"That's….really cool." Midoriya said with a grin, wishing he had a way to learn more about aliens. 'I should start a notebook-Wait, not the time!' "That….whatever he is, Cross, he called you prisoners?"
"An Appoplexian." A new, weary voice spoke up and Midoriya turned to the corner where a large alien with a white body and grey bumps all over sat. He sounded so…old… "They're pure anger incarnates. They're also incredibly skilled and powerful fighters, so I wouldn't even think about trying anything. I can see the look in your eyes."
"But…I can't stay here! I just got kidnapped while my Da-Uh I mean…" 'Thank god All Might wasn't here to hear that.' "My teachers lives…My friends lives are in danger. Even with Vilgax gone!"
"Hmph. So were mine. So were hers. We never made it out." The alien said as he curled into a ball. Midoriya sighed and looked to the girls who just pouted.
"Oh come on Pelarota…" The first JJ whined and the other huffed as she hopped over to Midoriya. "Don't be so harsh, he's probably still freaked out."
"It's the truth. And my name isn't Pelarota! That's my species!
"Well you never tell us your name!"
"Because I don't remember it."
"Then all I've got is your species, why argue?!"
"Because there's nothing else to do here."
"Ahhh!" The splixson's groaned as they formed back into one frustrated alien girl. Fed up she turned back to the human. "So…there's an attack going on right now Vilgax took you away from?"
"Yeah….somehow I have a feeling he helped organize it…" Midoriya explained as he walked along, feeling up random parts of the wall and looking for anything he could perhaps use as a weapon. "And…you two are prisoners? Why?"
"Kinetic energy." The older alien explained as he uncurled. "With her clones and my shell, we can keep moving for long periods of time. They siphon the energy we make whenever the generators get low and the ship needs power. If we don't…"
"Cross punishes us…" JJ finished as she sat on the hamster wheel, making the greenette frown. 'So…slavery can be added the list of reasons not to let Vilgax go.'
"Right….Well either way, even if you two aren't going to do anything I can't just sit here. I'm sorry about whatever happened to you but my friends are still there, they still need me. I can't let him have the Omnitrix no matter what, so as soon as he comes back, I'm gone." Midoriya said as he pulled off a surprisingly loose rod from one of the generators, missing the Pelarota's reaction to what he said. 'Should work for now.'
"I….What's your name?" JJ asked as she hopped off the wheel and walked to the entrance.
"Izuku Midoriya." He said as he walked beside her and she took a deep breathe before smiling up at him, a determined look in her eyes.
"Well, I snuck out the other day. It gets so boring In here, Cross caught me but….I didn't see much but I did find these robots working on a room, I bet they were making it for whatever you were looking for if it's important to him. If you really think you can get us out, then I'll take you there."
If he could get them out?
"There's no can or can't, I just have to do it."
"Alright ugly human child, Cross is back and-" The Appoplexian began talking as he opened the door, only to pause when he looked up. "Ugly human child? Prisoners?"
Silence from the seemingly empty room. The bipedal feline didn't think to look behind him as he started to launch into a rant. "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING MYSTERIOUS ABSENCE OF PRISONERS AND UGLY HUMAN CHILDREN, CROSS DOES NOT APPRECIATE-!"
Before he could continue, Izuku slid in front of him and swung around the makeshift baton he'd picked up right into the underling, right into… "AHH, CROSS' KITTY MAKERS!"
"NOW JJ!" The boy shouted and pink blur after pink blur began to dog-pile atop their captor.
"Hey over here!"
"Nah look here!"
"Better yet"
"JUST DISAPPEAR!"
"RAAH! LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, REBELLING CLONES OF ONE OF MY PRISONERS, CROSS DOES NOT APPRECIATE SNEAK ATTACKS!" The tiger like alien roared as he shook them off, throwing them all around and smacking one off the ground, throwing her back. The room was suddenly chorusing with the pained shouts of all the JJ's. 'They share pain?' "CROSS WILL PUNISH YOU!"
"Oh not on my watch!" The greenette announced as smashed the baton against the alien's face, only to pale when it snapped in two.
"YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR WATCH!"
Clawed fists came at his head.
"IZUKU MOVE!" Came the older voice of the Pelarota and the greenette jumped to the side, turning back to see a curled up grey ball colliding with Cross and throwing him back.
"Roller?!" The greenette questioned and the cannonball like alien looked at him confused. "Well I need to call you something."
"Right….Sorry about being harsh, it's easy to forget what it's like for someone new after spending so much time here….but….As long as there is a chance we have to get you back." Roller said as he turned back to Cross with a glare. "My race are peaceful, we don't fight typically so I never retaliated. Time that changed, take JJ and go! I'll hold him off."
"Uh, right!" Midoriya nodded in agreement and ran off, JJ reforming back into one and running with him.
"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING PELAROTA! CROSS DOES NOT APPRECIATE BEING KNOCKED ACROSS THE ROOM, ONLY CROSS DOES THE KNOCKING!"
SLAM!
The teen stopped running for a moment and looked back to see that a door had slid down, cutting them off. "Roller!"
"He'll be fine! Those shells are some of the toughest things in the galaxy, we need to keep moving!" JJ assured him, not stopping her sprint.
"Right!"
"Actually….We should take a quick detour, think you can handle some drones?"
"….Well….No time like the present to find out."
"Alley up!" JJ shouted as she threw another clone into the air, who grabbed a smaller flying drone and lead it into a nearby wall. The clone looked back with an annoyed look. "It's alley oop!"
"It doesn't matter!" Midoriya shouted back as ducked and weaved around a human sized robot, who by sheer luck was lacking any deadly lasers. He dodged under its legs, tearing one off and smashing it through the robots head. 'Never have I been so glad for All Might's training regime…' "Is there a reason you brought me here?"
"Yeah!" A third clone said, brushing away the remains of another slower drone and running to a nearby wall, riffling through the cabinets. "I know it's a little rude to say but human's don't really have much going for them, compared to the usual stuff Vilgax would go after so….I thought you could benefit from a few toys."
"Toys?" He questioned and the girl came back holding two guns of some description and two odd boards. "Also I think whoever decides that stuff needs to reexamine earth now we have quirks…"
"Yeah, well either way, here." She shrugged, passing him one of the guns and one of the boards. "You know how to use a blaster right?"
"Press the trigger and hope for the best?"
"Yeah, as far as I understand it that's about it. The board I think you might get more of a kick out of."
As she said that, she pressed a button on it and Midoriya watched as it fell to the ground, extending out to resemble a snowboard made of glass…and…. "A hover board?! Awesome!"
"Told you it was worth the detour." The splixson grinned, morphing back into one. "So what exactly are we trying to get back anyways? What's an Omnitrix?"
"Oh…well…"
So, as they continued to walk through the halls, being careful to avoid most of the drones and taking out some from behind, Midoriya explained how his watch worked and everything that had happened until that point as they hovered through the halls.
"…And that's why…Even if I can't get it back on my own wrist, I can't let Vilgax have it."
"So this watch, it makes you a hero?"
He started to say yes, then he paused as an image of All Might passed through his mind, of the day he saved Kacchan and he realized what he was doing right now.
"No, it just gives me powers. With or without it, I will be a hero. The Omnitrix just makes me better at it." He said with a grin, reloading the blaster. It was surprisingly easy to figure out, not to unlike a gun on earth. They got out onto a catwalk between two sections where fortunately no drones were present. "And between you and me, I'm totally keeping this board if I get out as well."
"INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT!"
Red lights flashed as sirens wailed and the boy felt his heart drop in his chest. "Great, now we better hurry!"
"Hurry where, Midoriya?" A voice asked and the greenette's eyes widened as he turned to see Vilgax standing tall. "You didn't think you'd get it back would you."
"Ahhh…." JJ shouted in fear as she fell off her board.
"And you….You shall be sharing his fate now for this insolence." The squid like alien said as he began to stalk towards them. Without another thought, Midoriya gritted his teeth. 'I AM a hero, watch or no watch…' "JJ, GO FIND THE OMNITRIX!"
And he charged at Vilgax.
Chapter 18: Izuku vs Vilgax, part 1
Exactly one word was going through Midoriya's mind, on an endless loop as charged forward towards his towering opponent with nothing more than a blaster, a hover board and his own wit.
'Crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap!'
He could hear the pattering of his alien allies feet as she rushed off to recover the omnitrix and vaguely he registered relief that she'd at least be safe for the moment. That helped spur him on.
The squid like alien reared back his fist and swung forth, fist moving fast. Not so fast that the boy couldn't react though it really was last moment as he jumped over the villains head and rolled across the metal ground as the board smacked square against his face. "Ahh! You pest!"
The villain turned to face him as he scrambled back up to his feet and put a bit of distance between the two. 'Can't rely on my own strength here obviously, so got to find someone to beat him without touching him…'
"Last mistake brat. I need only end you now and throw you out myself! A simple endeavor." The villain growled as he started stomping forth and Midoriya quickly gripped the blaster tight as he waited for his opportunity. Vilgax's fist came down again and he dived, barely making through the gap only to be yanked back by his leg. "Hmph. Goodbye Midoriya."
'Quick, quick think!' Midoriya thought, looking around for anything he could use in the situation he was in as Vilgax lifted his fist, ready to knock him out when he noticed it. Part of the grating on the floor was loose and the railing barely was attached. As quickly as he could the boy pressed the trigger as he aimed vaguely at his opponent and a blast went off. "AHHHG!"
"Ah!" The greenette let out a short cry as his body smacked against the metal, accidentally kicking the gun off the edge of the platform into the abyss. He hurried to the other side quickly before Vilgax recovered, grabbing his board and turning to face the villain. 'Maybe…when he' angry he gets a little more reckless…'
"Y-you were saying? Seems like your kinda terrible at actually getting anything done yourself…" He baited as he kept the board ready. Vilgax fell for it amazingly, red pinprick eyes almost glowing with anger as he charged forward and smashed a fist down as Izuku took a leap of faith of the catwalk, placing the board beneath him and flying around and above the villain. A quick check revealed his theory was spot on as another part of the catwalk had started to crumble under the aliens strength. 'Perfect. I can work with this.'
"You think it's wise to insult your destroyer?" The squid questioned as he ripped part of the railing off and launched it at the boy who had to jump off the hover board to dodge, leaving it in midair. "That's it…"
"No but I refuse to die here so I haven't done anything unwise yet." The boy stalled as he looked for his next attack point. The villains arms twitched as he let out a small chilling laugh.
"Except say that." Vilgax mocked as he rushed forward for the final time, as his fist crashed down against the grating, screwing flying into the air as Midoriya dived only to be caught even sooner by Vilgax, who smashed him against the floor. 'Ow….' "Did you really think that would work again without a blaster?"
"W-worth a shot…" The greenette muttered as he looked up, the final screw right in front of him. He shot his hand out and managed to grab it, yanking it out and causing the platform to begin to fall, both of them still on it.
"You idiot child!" Vilgax laughed amused as he jumped up trying to reach safety and let him plummet. He didn't make it far however as a grey blur suddenly collided into his and knocked him into the side wall, sending him plummeting to the depths below.
The grey ball continued, bouncing off the wall and coming back, opening up and making Midoriya's eyes go wide. "Hang on, Izuku!"
"Roller!" He cried out happily, being caught up in the aliens arms as his vision filled with pure white for a minute as his body twisted and turned as if it was in a rollercoaster. Suddenly the world came back into view and Midoriya pushed up to see they'd landed on the catwalk again. "I guess you beat Cross then?"
"For now, Appoplexians are tough creatures. He'll be back in no time." The alien said as the both stood up. "So will Vilgax, we only delayed him. Where's JJ?"
"I sent her ahead to keep her safe while I fought Vilgax. You just helped me out of that so…" The greenette turned and was surprised to see the hover board in front of him. "Oh…thanks for grabbing that."
"No problem. I can't believe you survived a direct conflict without any powers…guess I really did underestimate you." The Petarola said as they hurried down the halls, fortunately not making any turn offs. A loud bang echoes from behind them and the two stopped, looking back.
"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING MASSIVE GAP BLOCKING CROSS' PATH, CROSS DOES NOT APPRECIATE YOU PATHING CROSS'S OBSTRUCTION!" Came the loud angry growl of the tiger like alien and Midoriya grimaced as Roller stepped forward.
"Keep running, find JJ. I'll create a blockage." The older alien instructed and Midoriya nodded as he sprinted off, throwing the hover board in front of him and flying on.
Bang after bang sounded behind him as he passed door after door, only making quick checks along the way until finally he came across a room that seemed to almost glow from the outside. He swerved in and paled at what he saw inside.
All across the floor, struggling and in pain were JJ's clones and herself, all trying to fight a drone. Not just any drone though, the same one that had attacked him and his mother. He could tell by the markings.
The greenette inspected the room quickly and noticed an energy spear of some kind behind him. He grabbed quickly without a thought and sped forth, leaping into the air behind the robotic fighter and brought the weapon down clean through its head. It failed to notice him and as a result nothing stopped the attack. As the head collided with the floor, the body fell backwards as well.
"T-thanks…another minute and I was done fo-Wait, IZUKU?! Y-you actually beat Vilgax?" The Splixson questioned as she merged back to normal with her clones. Midoriya shook his head as he looked around and his eyes narrowed in disbelief as he saw the Omnitrix sat upon an altar as if it was some ancient relic.
"Not exactly. We still have to hurry but Roller's just behind me at least…" The teen explained as he sprinted up the steps, surprised to be greeted by the omnitrix's voice once again.
"DNA samples identified. Owner…." Then, without the boy even doing anything the watch leapt out, wrapping tight around his wrist. He couldn't help but smile at those familiar beeps as it finished up. "..Izuku Midoriya."
"Good it feels good to have you back…and now i'm talking to a watch…" Midoriya started off excited before deadpanning as JJ started walking towards him.
"Tampering detected. Temporarily disabling time-out function." The watch announced next and the greenette's grin grew even wider. 'That would have been useful before but i'm not complaining.'
"So this is an Omnitrix?" The alien girl asked as she walked up to get a closer look and the boy nodded, only for both of them to jump when a yellow light suddenly shout out and washed over the Splixson. "Hey what the heck?!"
"New DNA sample acquired, Splixson." The watch announced and Midoriya looked back down, surprised to see a new silhouette show up in the interface. 'No way….'
He could hardly resist as his he pressed in the screen, green light engulfing him like it had so many times before. When it dissipated in his place stood a single male Splixson with a bright green jumpsuit and white gems around his body. "Hah! This is awesome! I didn't know the Omnitrix could scan new aliens."
"W-wait…are you a male me now?!" JJ questioned dumbstruck as she looked at him and the boy nodded with a grin as his body began to split.
"Woah that's weird. Nothing like Reverb…" The first one said, as the second one stretched. "Yeah, we need a good name for ourselves. Oh! How about duple?! What do you think JJ?"
"Sounds awesome Midoriya!" The alien nodded her approval as the two Duples formed back into one and tapped the Omnitrix symbol, returning to normal. "That's so cool, so you can turn into any alien you want?"
"Not any alien, just whatever I already have in the Omnitrix apparently. Though now i'm curious why it didn't try to scan Vilgax…" The boy shrugged as he did a quick head count. All ten of his original set and the new addition were accounted for.
"So…it is real…" Came Roller's stunned voice as he walked into the room, looking at the boy. "It suits you..."
"Thanks.." Midoriya smiled as he scratched the back of his head when the watch once more kicked into action, scanning the older alien. "Huh, guess you weren't in here either."
"New DNA sample acquired, Pelarota." The watch announced again, once more showing a silhouette with it. The greenette grinned but then shook his head, remembering why they were hear in the first place.
"Ok guys, we need to get to the front of the ship. If we can I can use my Braniac or Enhance forms to get us down to earth. I really hope too much time hasn't passed down there." The boy instructed and the two aliens nodded as they turned and hurried towards their destination.
It only took a few minutes to find it, with Roller quickly dispatching the drones they found along the way. They eventually arrived in the cockpit and Midoriya grinned as he saw the controls. "Hopefully, I can just Brainiac to reverse the teleporter for a one way trip. The three of us leave and those two get stranded up here…"
It was going so well, then in an instant things went sour. The watch face turned yellow and suddenly the light shot out to behind, causing the greenette's eyes to go wide.
"ROLLER! LOOK OUT!" JJ screamed in a panic and Midoriya looked up as a red beam suddenly shot past him, in to the glass window and back at the Pelarota, who raised his arms to block.
"New DNA sample acquired."
Despite his attempt, the alien was too slow as the laser hit him right in his exposed stomach and the aliens eyes widened before he slowly began to fall over. "Roller no!"
"Appoplexian."
The teen turned, and there stood Vilgax with a blaster in hand and his underling beside him….and Midoriya snapped.
"You....BASTARD!" He screamed as he ran at the pair, pressing in the watch face and launching at the two out of the green light of the omnitrix.
Chapter 19: Escape
The blaster Vilgax held in his hand lit up as another red beam shot out, but before it could hit anyone, Midoriya jumped out of the light of his transformation in a brand new form.
He stood tall, almost exactly the same as cross except he lacked clothes and had green eyes instead of red ones. He deflected the blast with his claws, causing the blast to return and blow up the gun in the villain's hand.
Everyone looked at him for a moment, seemingly expecting some outburst from his new form. It didn't come however as he slowly turned with nothing more than snarl as he began running forward.
"HOW DARE YOU TAKE CROSS'S LOOK UGLY EARTH CHILD! ONLY CROSS CAN CROSS LIKE LOOK!" The clothes Appolexian screamed as he rushed to meet his opponent, fist coming forward. The teen intercepted easily however, bending his arm back down without a word. Cross's eyes widened slightly as he throw his other fist only for the same result. "GIVE CROSS'S ARMS BACK! CROSS NEEDS THOSE TO BEAT YOU TO A BLOODY PULP!"
"….Let ME tell YOU something, Cross, servant of Vilgax and Vilgax, evil alien from space…You killed Rath's friend…" The transformed alien finally spoke, voice low and dangerous.
"What the…" Vilgax seemed surprised by the much more tame demeanor of the teenaged Appoplexian, and took a step back as Cross was head-butted and thrown towards the squid like alien.
"…AND RATH BELIEVES IN EYE FOR AN EYE!" Rath screamed as he ran straight at the two, eyes full of fiery rage. His fist clashed with Vilgax's as the two started to trade blows.
Vilgax's punches knocked him back, the Appoplexian's durability was great but not perfect against such a drastically powerful opponent. Despite that fact, the alien forced himself back up, continuing to put his all into every attack.
"YOU ATTACK RATH'S CLASS!" Vilgax punched down towards him again but the tiger alien dodged, throwing the fist to the floor and aiming right for the face with his claw, causing the villain to let out a cry of pain. "YOU HURT RATH'S FRIENDS!"
"Why won't you just lay down and die?!" Vilgax shouted in frustration as his arms bulked up into much more muscular versions and he charged at the angry boy. "I WILL HAVE MY OMNITRIX!"
"RATH TOLD YOU!" Rath screamed as he leapt straight at him, barely avoiding a hit and flipping over the villain, rushing Cross who had finally started to get up and picking him up once more, throwing him at the villain as a distraction. "OVER MY. DEAD. BODY! AND RATH IS STILL LIVING!"
"Then allow me to fix that!" The squid villain said, throwing his minion to the side without a care. The two rushed each other once and Midoriya put his all into his next hits, very barely resisting the full brunt of the super powered attacks. Vilgax's strength had increased and the bones inside his body were ready to break any moment. Despite that though, he didn't let up and continued to put on the pressure. This seemed to really take the villain off-guard. "Even if you are a prime Appoplexian, how the hell are you so strong?!"
"Did no one ever tell you, Vilgax, alien who's time is running out?" The tiger mocked with a snarl, finally deciding to retreat after that, no longer able to hold up. "Anger is a great catalyst, especially when it's not just Rath who is angry."
For the final time, he ran at him once more and leapt high into the air, quickly landing behind the large villain and jumping onto his back, using a claw to pry parts of his armor off. At least he was trying to. "I'm angry as well."
"Cross thinks that doesn't even make sense!" Cross said in a daze, body on the floor. Rath was torn off by Vilgax and thrown into the window beside his new friends, causing it to crack.
"M…Midoriya."
The tiger's eyes widened in surprise and he looked to see Roller weakly reaching out for him, JJ trying to stop him exerting himself. "Roller? It'll be ok, Rath will save his friends!"
"I get it….Your personalities aren't merging like they should." Vilgax muttered as he stood up, a massive horrifying grin covering his face. "My, my you are an emotional child to have enough anger to be able to cause such an affect as an Appoplexian. What is your plan anyways if you do get back?"
"Huh?"
"They'll all be dead. That creature gave me a run for my money, barely. Do you really think any of your pitiful friends or transformations stand a chance against such an indestructible creature?" The villain taunted, causing the tiger to snarl.
"Rath doesn't understand-" Before Rath continued with his outburst, he was cut off by Roller's weak voice.
"You can…..can't utilize that forms full potential…." He coughed out, trying to push himself up.
"hey, hey roller, shh, shh. Don't push yourself…" JJ said quietly as a clone held him up from the other side.
"We need to…..to get away before….your transformations normal self takes over completely. Please…..turn back and let me do this…." The Pelarota said, coughing in between his words and the teen hated the flashes of All Might that went through his head hearing them.
"You aren't going anywhere! Not with that watch still on your wrist!" Vilgax shouted as he started to charge forward. The bidpedal tiger let out a sigh, watching the villain's movements. 'And….now!'
Vilgax leapt at him as a green flash engulfed him and he shrank back to normal. The villain turned with a look of pure rage, ready to try again. "Whatever you're gonna do, do it now!"
"NOO!"
"BRACE YOURSELF!" Roller shouted, coughing out blood as he did so. Midoriya felt sweat break out as Vilgax got closer and closer until suddenly all he could see was grey.
He registered a shattering noise. Things suddenly became cold and harder to breathe, as he felt both JJ's pressed against him. They seemed to be lacking any actual speed for a moment, before it suddenly picked up rapidly.
Whatever was happening outside, suddenly the cold disappeared, an intense heat replacing it for a few moments. He almost felt like he was cooking until it finally stopped and he just felt the tumbles of moments.
Finally, after so long of not knowing what was going on, he felt a sudden massive jolt and light returned to his eyes once more as Roller uncurled. The greenette pushed himself up and his eyes widened as he realized they were surrounded by tree's, fammilar ones.
He looked up, boom after boom filling his ears and saw the USJ. The fight was still going on.
"Ugh…." Roller groaned as Midoriya and JJ hoped off him, eyes closing.
"Roller no! Don't close your eyes!" JJ shouted out in fear as she hurried up to him, and Midoriya gritted his teeth. 'This is my fault, he wouldn't even be fighting if I didn't show up…' "Roller, please…"
"I'm sorry…I wasn't a…better friend." He choked out. "Izuku….Please….put my body to….better use than I did."
"ROLLER!" JJ screamed as she knelt down beside him. "No come on! We escaped! You can't die now, you can't! Please, don't leave me…Please…."
Midoriya felt his eyes begin to sting and his vision started getting blurry as tears started to fall. He wasn't even close the alien, but he certainly didn't deserve this. He pulled up the Omnitrix's interface, and started to scroll through the selections as he spotted the hover board on the ground. "….There's a building, just east of here. Take him there, and tell them Izuku sent you. Tell them to send backup to the USJ if they haven't already. I don't know what the nurse can do, she doesn't know aliens but….."
"…R-right." The distraught Splixson nodded as she separated into twenty of herself to speed up the process. One of them looked back at him as they began to carry him away. "What about you? What are you gonna do?"
"Respect his wishes. You said Pelarota shell's were one of the toughest things in the galaxy right?" He asked as he grabbed the hover board and jumped on it.
"Definitely, they're practically indestructible."
"Apparently so is whatever the hell their 'pet' is in there. So it's time to answer the old question. What happens when an immovable force meets an unstoppable object?"
With that, he took off towards the facility.
He arrived in no time at all, hopping off his board and slamming open the doors.
"Deku?!"
"Midoriya?!"
A few students and pro's were gathered as group atop the stairs. From a quick head count, Midoriya realized both Aizawa and Thirteen were injured and had to fall back. Thirteens back was ripped off and the erasure hero's arms was completely limp and one of his eyes swollen close. The other pro's were Nezu, sat atop Iida's shoulder, Snipe, ectoplasm and present mic.
Also atop the stairs was Uraraka, Satou, Sero, Asui, Mineta, Shoji and Mina. All of them looked both shocked and relieves to see him, with the frog girl being the first to speak up. "Wait, I thought one of the villains got you? Ribbit."
"They did." The boy said simply as he marched forward, seeing that a majority of the human thugs had been knocked out and All Might, along with Vlad King, Todoroki, Bakugou and Kirishima were fighting the Nomu and other pro's were spread about. One detail did definitely grab his attention.
Pretty much all of Vilgax's robots were still standing.
Before he could continue walking on, a hand shot out and held him back. He looked up to see Snipe holding him back. "Woah there kid, we're struggling as is to get everyone to safety. You can't just run back in!"
"….You can't damage them, can you? The droids I mean." He inquired, and the pro looked back at his co-workers before nodding. "Not surprising. Alien tech does seem to be seriously overpowered in the defense department."
"A-Alien? What are you talking about dude? Why are you acting so different from normal?!" Sero questioned with a worried tone and the greenette sighed.
"….Sorry, it's just…..Something happened, while that villain had me." He said simply, going through his aliens. "Too put a long story short for now….It was never just a little nickname or something for my transformations, I genuinely meant they're aliens. I promise I'll explain properly later…but for now…."
"….You have my full permission to assist." Nezu spoke up, getting him incredulous looks from everyone, and a smile from the boy. "We already allow him to fight within the training grounds if need be, this is no different. He knows these aliens in ways we do not, we shouldn't throw away our biggest asset against them now that we truly need him."
"Thank you, principal Nezu." The boy said, before turning back to the battle field. "You might want to stand back by the way, once I go alien I have a feeling they'll all be in one spot, so you don't want to be to close to the blast zone."
"What are you going to do? Use Crystalize's strength? Blink's speed?" Aizawa inquired through gritted teeth, obviously conflicted about this. "They aren't one hit kills. Not unless you're All Might but he's busy."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." With that, he pressed in the dial and his body got bigger, as he felt hard shells coat his back and his fingers were replaced by small claw like appendages. "I got a new trick. Meet Cannon Shot."
As he looked back to the field, he saw all of the robots running at him, ready to swarm him. He waited a moment, letting them get closer before he started to try to run forward, stumbling a bit from his top heavy weight. "Time to roll!"
With that he flew off the edge of the stairs, curling into his ball and rolling along the way. As he did, he could almost visualize where he was from the sounds and vibrations in the air. 'Huh, so that's how he saw like this…'
With that he aimed straight down, crashing straight through one of the robots interiors and bouncing off the ground into a tree and flying back at another, going through the bottom and bouncing back off the roof.
As he did this plenty of lasers fired upon him but his shell easily negated it all. He continued to bounce around, hitting off tree's, walls and the roof to smash through the robots with ease.
Finally, he smashed straight through the final massive robot and after a few moments of rolling, uncurled to take in his handy work. The entire set of robot had been decimated from his assault, making him grin just a little. "For you, Roller."
With that, he ran on ahead and found All Might struggling with Nomu while Bakugou and Todoroki kept Shigaraki and Kurogiri at bay. Kirishima provided back up to the two boys whenever one of them was on the verge of being hit by the villain's quirks.
Without a second thought, he charged in quickly picking up momentum and bashing into Nomu, bouncing off him and flying back into a wall. The bird monster was unaffected by the first hit but as the boy was launched back and hit against a wall, coming at him faster than before the bird went to hit.
A punch from All Might barely threw him off center for Cannon Shot to barrel into the monsters stomach and knock him back before uncurling.
"Young Midoriya?!" All Might exclaimed, tone a mixture of joy, worry and surprise. The villains and teens paused for just a moment, turning to the new comer with similar surprise.
"Midoriya?! How the heck did you manage to knock back that guy?!" Kirishima shouted in Shock, before turning and punching Shigaraki before Todoroki was grabbed by him.
"By hitting him?" The alien teen said dumbly, not really sure what the red headed boy was driving at.
"My boy…that creature has taken several one hundred percent smashes from myself already." All Might said stunned and Midoriya blinked.
"O-oh. Well I mean it's kinda this aliens thing so…."
A roar alerted them to Nomu returning and they took on fighting positions.
"I won't tell you to run, I know you won't anyway…. But that alien won't be the one to stop this creature, I'm afraid." All Might informed him and the boy sighed, changing back to normal, and quickly dialing through his selections. 'Sorry I couldn't do more, Roller. Still…if All Might says so then I shouldn't take chances…'
He was just about to press in Chiller when all of a sudden…
BOOM!
Once more they turned their attention away from the fight, as the roof shattered open and a figure crashed into the ground in a ball of fire, causing a crater where he landed. He stood up as the smoke cleared and Midoriya felt his blood boil as Vilgax walked out of the crater.
"Dammit! As if we needed another fucking villain." Bakugou shouted and annoyance, and Midoriya nodded in silent agreement.
"He's definitely as bad as Nomu…If not worse…." Midoriya said without hesitation. He wanted to believe there would be no competition with his mentor fighting Vilgax but he knew it wasn't the case. Then an idea struck. "Hey, All Might?! Remember when I first got the Omnitrix?"
"How is that relevant right now, my boy?" The man asked, confused as he wiped away a trace of blood at his lips. Midoriya grinned as he changed his selection to the very first alien he every changed into it.
"Well, let's make up for it properly, and show these guys the colossal mistake they've made attacking us."
"Ah. Good idea my boy. Together?"
A green flash, and where the greenette had stood now the towering Colossus had took his place with a smug grin, even upping his size a few feet past his normal height for a strength boost.
"Together!"
