When Momo Yaoyorozu woke up that morning, she was not at all expecting the day to turn out like this.

She had woken up for a few simple things: morning tea with the girls before heading to class, having a normal day of academics and an after-school faculty meeting with Midoriya and a few other reps before calling it a day. She was even eagerly awaiting dinner since it also meant her new book had come in the mail and she was dying to read it. She was curious of romance novels. Who knew?

Of course, learning about Midoriya and Uraraka's secret relationship and the attack by QICDs put a brake on her nightly read. She was supposed to have her nose buried in her book while in her bed, not fighting for her life. She was a combat-support hero for crying out loud.

And yet, here she was. She held her shield strongly against the brute strength of the two QICDs that ganged up on her. She swung her spear at them to clear some space, though it didn't work for the mech that side-stepped and grabbed the shield before throwing it away. Yaoyorozu began backing up and throwing her spear at the head of a mech while simultaneously creating a heavy iron bat and swinging it. Metal clashed with metal as the mech that was closest to her stumbled backwards before falling to the floor with a large dent in its head.

The other mechs continued to close in on the Everything Hero. One mech in front of her lunged forward with its arms poised for a steel grip. Yaoyorozu could only act immediately by opening up her guard and creating a gag weapon: a boxing glove on a spring. The spring erupted from her stomach and slammed the boxing glove into the mech, stopping it in its tracks before dropping to the ground. She then pulled the spring from her body and swung at another mech, striking the head before swinging it around and striking its hip. Once it fell over, she smashed its face in with the bat, destroying the sensor that was probably in it.

Yaoyorozu rose up with her bat and held it defensively. She started breathing heavily and her skin started to glisten with sweat. I-I'm at my limit... Those bombs and that spring glove sapped me...

She looked over to see Midoriya leaping off of walls with the mech right behind him. The mech had repulsers on its legs, giving it greater mobility than the average mech, but making it not as agile as the Fairy QICDs. It pursued him with ferocity that matched Bakugo when he got especially pissed at the young inheritor.

Midoriya stamped the brakes onto the ground and spun on his heel, delivering a sudden roundhouse kick that knocked the mech through the air and crashing into a regular mech. Yaoyorozu watched the mech recover and approach the inheritor, ignoring her. Your strength factor is...impressive.

Midoriya cracked a small grin. "Thanks. I haven't heard that before," he said.

Your strength factor is increasing at an accelerated rate. Your cap, however, has been reached.

The young inheritor smiled as he shifted his stance. "I will happily disagree with you."

Focusing on the power within, Midoriya summoned more of One for All and breaking his earlier cap. Tendrils of green energy sparked all over his body and his smile grew wider as he pushed himself further. Half power...hope I can pull this off, Midoriya thought to himself.

The mech scanned the hero. Your strength factor has increased. Logging for future battles.

Midoriya breathed in carefully and dashed at the mech. Unlike before when it was able to follow him and scan for potential moves, the mech did not have a change to move as the young inheritor sped through it with his legs pushed in. The mech's torso was a distant memory as its many pieces were scattered onto the floor.

The mech's head bounced away before settling at a nearby wall. Abigail watched the mech fall apart with wide eyes and mouth agape. She turned to Yaoyorozu. "You! What's his strength limit?"

The Everything Hero looked shocked. "You think I'd know? I thought all he could do was smash his bones everytime he used his Quirk. This is a shock to me too," she explained.

Abigail watched as more QICDs entered the room. Yaoyorozu readied her bat and leapt into action along with her VP by her side.

Marinette dropped onto the back of a Fairy QICD and ripped its wings off, letting it fall to the earth and smashing into the rim of the acid pool. She jumped into the air and flew toward Uraraka. The Gravity Hero was face-first in the ground and was groaning as the mech behind her was blasted by Nejire's Quirk. She dropped next to her old teammate and helped her to her feet.

Uraraka lightly shook her head as her old teammate checked her over. "You okay Ocha?" She wondered.

She nodded. "They're getting desperate, I think. They never did sneak attacks before," she noted.

"Yeah, they're getting sneakier. That means we're winning!"

Uraraka smiled. She looked toward the massive Executor robot and sighed. "Deku and Yao-Momo are still in there. They have to shut down the robots in there, otherwise they'll just keep coming," she said.

"You have a comm unit with them?" Nejire wondered.

Uraraka nodded and gestured to her ear, showing the ladybug-themed earpiece. She pressed on the device and called in. "Deku, Yao-Momo, you there?"

Static. "Deku? Yao-Momo? Hello?"

Nejire sighed as she turned to Marinette. Her antennae hung low as she turned to the robot. She narrowed her eyes as she sighed. "I would use my Lucky Charm right now, but they have it. If I call another, theirs will disappear."

Uraraka nodded. "I'd love a nice Lucky Charm right about now," she said. "Then again...I want food."

Marinette chuckled. "I've had to dash to fight akumas right before dinner so I know that feeling. Sometimes they would last the whole night," she said. "Hopefully it doesn't come to that..."

Uraraka's earpiece sparked to life, altering the Zero Gravity hero. "Deku?"

"Ochaco! Oh thank goodness!"

She blushed, earning a knowing grin from Nejire and Marinette. "D-Deku, open channel."

"Oops...anyways, we're in the head of the robot. Abigail knew we would fight back with force so she's trying to wear us out," he explained. "Yaoyorozu and I are clearing the QICDs up here but they just keep coming."

Marinette chimed in to the call. "Midoriya, have you guys used the Lucky Charm already?"

Another voice entered the call. "This is Yaoyorozu. We used the Lucky Charm and destroyed some of Abigail's command consoles. She won't be able to control the robot for much longer."

"As for that mech distribution problem?"

"We have a plan for it. Pull back the heroes on the ground and get ready. Once it goes down, the remaining mechs will likely panic and make plays against you all," she explained.

Marinette and Uraraka eyed each other. "Alright. I'm going for another Lucky Charm. Please give me a portal with a Terminator or something," the pig-tailed hero prayed.

Uraraka and Nejire snickered as Marinette grabbed her yo-yo. "Here we go...LUCKY CHARM!"

Her yo-yo flew into the air, attracting the attention of a passing Fairy QICD. It diverted from chasing Bakugo and made a beeline straight for the spotted heroine. Before it could crash into her, Uraraka canceled her own gravity and launched into the air with her bo staff. She swung her weapon, striking the mech in the head and diverting it into the ground next to her inter-dimensional friend.

When the light died down and Marinette's Lucky Charm fell to the ground, Nejire watched with wide eyes as she saw the magical ladybugs disappear into the air. The Charm was a fairly large box with a ladybug-esque wrapping paper around it and tied with a ribbon. A sticker on the box simply said 'Paris Yum!' and the picture of the Eiffel Tower on it.

Nejire peered over to get a look at the box. "Cool! You can make things with your Quirk!"

Marinette nodded. "Sort of. Long story short: this is magic, not Quirks. But I don't get what I'm supposed to do here." She raised it to her ear and shook the box, hearing the sound of unknown objects rattling around. "It's full of something, but I don't get it."

Uraraka turned back to the robot. "Well...your Lucky Charms haven't steered us off course before, so it must be something good," she said.

Marinette nodded. She untied the ribbon and tore back some of the wrapping paper when her earpiece beeped. Uraraka's beeped as well, and the panicked voice of Momo Yaoyorozu rang out. "Guys, we got a problem...!"

Inside the robot, 5 minutes ago...

As the mechs continued their attack against the heroes, one of Abigail's mechs quickly approached her. New Quirk detected!

She turned to it with a startled look in her wide eyes. "What? Another hero is in here?"

Negative. New Quirk detected!

She gestured to Midoriya as he used his Black Whip to yank a mech away from Yaoyorozu and send it into the wall. "Is it him? I thought we already registered his power?" She wondered.

New Quirk detected!

"Oh for Heaven's...alright, I get it. Eliminate the Quirk already! I don't want any more distractions here!" She turned away from the mech and watched the fight.

The vanguard turned to the other mechs approaching her. It turned back toward Abigail, who looked upon her mech with a confused and angry look in her eyes. "Well? Eliminate the Quirk!"

The mech beeped. Confirming order. Eliminate rogue Quirk!

"Finally!"

What happened next terrified Abigail completely. Her closest vanguard reached out and grabbed her by the top of her head and yanked her backward. It threw her onto the center console where she landed upside down and her arms sprawled out. The two other mechs quickly closed in and grabbed her arms. They used the excess armor on their arms to create binding cuffs around her hands and wrists, clamping them down onto the console.

Abigail's eyes were wide as she began to panic. She tried freeing herself from the clamps to find that they were secured to the console. Her head hung off the bottom of the console and she strained as she looked up. "H-Hey! What the hell?!"

The mech's glass visor flashed blue at her. Scan complete. Subject: Abigail Winters. Quirk: Regeneration.

"What are you talking about?! I-I'm Quirkless!"

Negative. Quirk identified as self-regeneration. Possible emission point in the hands. Possible automatic regeneration due to previous data collected. Counter-measures for regeneration Quirks are complex, the mech said.

"I DON'T HAVE A QUIRK!"

You were temporarily injured earlier this day. You sustained a foot injury that regenerated immediately after sustaining damage. Your extensor muscle region received damage after being struck by a large monitor. You regenerated almost immediately, it explained.

Abigail froze as she remembered the moment of impact. She did fear the impact and she felt as if she couldn't stand straight again. And then...

Abigail's eyes widened in terror as the mech made up its mind. Counter-measure recognized. Recommended course of action: Amputation of the head!

The mech raised its arm and unsheathed its blade. It stood to the side and aimed at her neck. Abigail screamed as the mech wound up its arm. "HELP!"

Yaoyorozu saw it immediately. "MIDORIYA!"

Calling out for him wasn't necessary. As soon as Abigail screamed, the mech brought its arm down, but it did not meet its target. Instead, Midoriya flew through the air with his knees pulled in and shot forward, smashing the mech in the head and sending it into the wall.

Once he landed, the other mechs turned to him and unsheathed their blades. They both swung at him, a futile effort as Midoriya effortlessly dodged both of them. He back-kicked the mech behind him and ducked as the one in front of him continued trying to kill him.

After a few swings of its blade, the mech tried moving in to stab him. Midoriya, taking a page out of Uraraka's training, side-stepped him and grabbed the arm where the blade was. Pulling with all of his strength, he yanked the blade from its slot and countered its attack with its own blade. The mech could do nothing as the young inheritor skewered it with its own blade through the chest. He yanked the blade right out and slashed at its head, severing it from its body completely.

Slamming the last mech off of her, Yaoyorozu radioed the heroes on the ground. "Guys, we have a problem..."

"What happened?"

"The mechs turned against Abigail. Turns out she does have a Quirk and they tried to decapitate her," she reported.

"Isn't there a law against that?" Marinette wondered.

"Asimov's First Law. Robots cannot harm humans," she said.

She heard Uraraka blow some raspberries on the line. "I feel like that Law has been ignored lately," she said.

"Right, but it almost killed her. We cannot wait any longer!"

"So what can we do?"

Yaoyorozu sighed as she reached into her pocket, revealing a currently deactivated detonator. "We can destroy the repair facility thanks to some bombs we have placed. Get as far back as you can!"

"Got it. I'll be standing by to get you guys out of there!" Marinette said before the call disconnected.

The Everything Hero looked up to see Midoriya and the other vanguard QICD locked in a bladed battle. The mech had sustained some serious damages, though it had managed to do the same to the young inheritor. The two locked blades, sending a high-pitched ring throughout the room. The young hero struggled as he kept his guard from falling.

Pushing with a small punch of power from One for All, Midoriya broke the mech's block and kicked it away. "YAOYOROZU!"

Understanding almost immediately, the Everything Hero created and expelled a sharpened javelin from her stomach. It flew through the air and into Midoriya's waiting hand. Taking careful aim, the young hero threw the weapon with One for All behind the throw. It soared through the air and skewered the mech in the head, sending it flying before impaling itself into a nearby wall.

As he landed, the head QICD that Midoriya kicked earlier removed itself from the wall. It quickly identified Yaoyorozu as a threat and lunged forward and slammed its arms into the ground. It splashed a line of oil at the Everything Hero before setting it ablaze.

With a second to think, Midoriya sped toward Yaoyorozu and carried her bridal style. The flames engulfed the floor they were standing on, and as she felt the head nearly engulf her, she also felt as if they were in the air for a bit too long.

Opening her eyes, Yaoyorozu felt her breath taken away. There was Midoriya, his attention focused on the mech that tried to roast her. She also felt weightless, as if Uraraka had quickly used her Quirk on them before returning back outside. They were floating!

Midoriya, thanks to his momentum from rushing to his partner, felt his feet hit a wall. Pushing off of it, he sped toward the mech with Yaoyorozu in his arms. Turning his entire body around, he launched a kick straight at the mech's head with enough speed and power to completely sever it from the rest of its body. Landing safely, the duo watched to see the remaining mechs on the other side of the blazing floor.

The mechs unsheathed their blades. Eliminate all Quirks! They all charged forward, ignoring the inferno on the ground.

Letting Yaoyorozu drop to the ground, Midoriya powered up and swung his Shoot Style in a deadly arc. The Everything Hero created her bo staff and held a defensive stance in front of Abigail.

A mech burst through the flames and swung its blade, meeting a raised block from Yaoyorozu. She continued to block various strikes from the mech while countering wherever possible. While she did not have Midoriya-level strength, her continued strikes found themselves hitting vulnerable points in the joints and spots where pieces of armor pressed together.

Midoriya continued to dodge and weave through mechs as they swung their blades. He threw punches and kicks at them, knocking them far while dealing lasting damage to them. He ducked one particular swing and quickly rose back up on one leg, swinging his leg around and kicking the mech's head clean off, sending it into the flames. He grabbed its arm and jammed the blade through the torso of another.

With two mechs down, Midoriya turned and was met with an overhead strike from a mech's blade. He slapped both of his hands together to stop the blade, however, it passed through his defenses and struck him on the head before pulling away. Blood trickled down his forehead as the mech retracted before moving to stab the hero. He side-stepped the mech, knocked out its front leg with a snapping kick while simultaneously grabbing its outstretched arm and using his power to drive the blade into the floor.

The young inheritor turned to see Yaoyorozu and Abigail defending themselves from the relentless attacks. He sighed and made a judgement call. "Yaoyorozu! The detonator!"

The Everything Hero didn't respond verbally as she slammed her staff into the head of the mech that was attacking her and swung at it, sending it to the side. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the detonator. "FIRE IN THE HOLE!"

She pressed the detonator and the explosions followed. The repair station below them exploded, sending support beams and conveyor belts into the air along with half-ruined mechs. The large containers were sent flying with some clogging up the port where they were being sent out from. The mechs that were somewhat operational before were destroyed by falling debris.

The explosions startled the heroes and the mechs outside of the robot. Marinette and Adrien, detransformed and feeding Plagg some cheese, watched with horror and wonder as the Executor slumped over. "Midoriya! Yaoyorozu!" Marinette shrieked.

"DEKU!"

Adrien's eyes were wide as he shoved the last piece of cheese at Plagg. "C'mon Plagg! We gotta go!"

Plagg continued to munch leisurely. "Aw calm down kid. They're all fine," he said as he continued to eat.

"You don't know that! They could be hurt!"

Plagg rolled his eyes. "Seriously kid, relax. You forget that I'm a literal God of Destruction. I know explosions, and those explosion did not kill them," he explained.

Marinette turned to him. "No?"

The kwami shook his head. "Although...damn these are good...they are in trouble. That thing will likely explode fully since it's gotta have...a gas tank maybe? I don't know, but that's running on something," he said.

Marinette nodded. "He's right. Remember the specs we got? That thing has a core smack in the middle of the thing," she said.

"That's right, sugar cookie. And to keep that from exploding, we'll need a little knowledge from another universe," Plagg said as he finished his snack.

"Sugar cookie?"

Uraraka still looked nervous. "S-So what can we do?"

"Nothing. The kid and I have to do something," Plagg said.

Adrien's eyes widened. "Oh? What can we do?"

Plagg smiled. "Kid, because we were stuck outside this universe, Tikki and I were free to check out other universes. Some were...depressing, some were completely bland, one was where we were both fictional, but there was one universe that caught our interest," he explained. "It's a universe where our powers were significantly magnified and possessed different variations. Take Marinette's wings for example."

Marinette's free hand moved over to her back. "In this world, that version of Adrien has a power called 'Black Storm'. It's a sort of 'Super Move' that he uses, though it's not a fun power."

Plagg looked to the heroes around him waiting in silence, prompting him to continue. "This power takes the power of the Cataclysm, condenses it into a ball, and fires it in a single attack. The attack would single out the target over a long distance, so taking out that robot should be easy..."

"But...?"

Plagg chuckled. "But...it requires a lot of energy. The magic box you have should have what I need."

It was as if a lightbulb was screwed into Marinette's head. She opened the box to reveal a selection of cheeses wrapped in ladybug-themed wrapping paper. She unwrapped one and handed it to Plagg, whom had taken it with gusto. "Magic cheese is always awesome. For it to work, the kid needs to eat it too right before he fires it." He unwrapped and tossed the cheese into his mouth.

Adrien reached in and grabbed some cheese. "Eughh, gross."

Plagg rolled his eyes. "Uncultured...Ju-Just call the transformation."

The young man nodded. "Claws out!"

Once he transformed back into Cat Noir, Adrien stepped out with the cheese in hand. "They still need to get out of these."

"I got them!" Marinette declared as she flew into the air and toward the head. "Midoriya and Yaoyorozu, I'm coming in for evac. Meet at the top of the head."

On the other end of the call, Midoriya had his hand pressed to his ear. "Copy. Moving to evac." He turned to Yaoyorozu and Abigail. "Let's get out of here."

Yaoyorozu nodded. "Right. Abigail, hang on tight."

"T-To what?"

The Everything Hero rolled her eyes as she grabbed Abigail. Once Midoriya grabbed onto her as well, he powered up and leapt into the air, following the tunnels that led to the very hatch that Abigail entered from just an hour prior.

The young inheritor burst through the head of the robot just as Marinette appeared. She grabbed Yaoyorozu and Abigail before flying toward the safety of the streets. Midoriya, meanwhile, looked over to the shoulder of the mech and leapt down, following the arm down to the roof of a nearby building. Once his feet touched down on the building, the head of the robot was engulfed in fire.

Seeing him clear, Marinette yelled into her comm. "NOW!"

On the ground, Adrien breathed in a deep breath. The other QICDs had stopped their attacks, giving the heroes a change to back away as the cat-themed hero approached the mech. "Alright...here we go."

Taking a heroic stance, Adrien thrust out his fist with the Miraculous. He shut his eyes and concentrated on pulling energy into the magic jewel. "CATACLYSM!"

Instead of calling energy into the palm of his hand, Adrien called for the energy to concentrate on the ring itself. It formed into a little ball of pure black energy. He continued to pour his energy into his attack, causing the ball to grow larger and more chaotic as tendrils of energy sparked off of it.

As the ball grew, so did the concern of the native heroes of the area, excluding Uraraka. She watched with fascination as the energy continued to grow until Adrien's eyes widened. "...BLACK STORM!"

Releasing the energy, Adrien watched as a ball of destructive energy fire through the air and toward the center of the Executor mech. As soon as it left him, Adrien's transformation completely dropped.

Midoriya watched as the ball of energy struck the chest of the robot and completely faze through the machine. The ball flew high into the air, leaving a massive hole in the robot's chest. The hole was outlined with a large border of black, crumbling metal.

The explosions inside the robot died down immediately. Abigail turned to watch her once-precious machine slump forward and die. The mechs on the ground collapsed completely, ending their campaign of chaos.

In the battle of machines versus humans, the humans won.

'Black Storm' is a scrapped concept for Cat Noir's powers. The power and so many other concepts in powers and story can be found in the Ladybug Artbook released by SAMG Animation in 2016. If you have the book, you are lucky!

I personally love this concept for Adrien's powers and would've loved to see these in canon. Multiverse Theory can make anything possible, so why not this? I hope you all have enjoyed the journey so far. Your reviews are always appreciated.

Until next time,
