Pickles

DISCLAIMER: Kōhei Horikoshi owns the characters and the world known as Boku no Hero Academia. I do not own anything else, but I enjoy playing in Horikoshi's universe.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Mei's apparently very awesome, yo.


Mei was in the Studio Development Workshop instead of class. This is where Power Loader found her after home room ended.

"Hatsume! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in class," the man told his student.

"Sorry! Gotta help Izuku and Ochako! They got turned into pickles this morning."

And the two pickles that are sitting upright in a small clear drinking cup partly filled with refreshing cold water was a green and pink pickle… with faces?

"Hello, sensei," the pickles greeted the man.

Power Loader stared, before he turned to Mei.

"They got turned into pickles by a guy's Food Transformation quirk this morning. Making them arms and legs so they can move."

Power Loader looked at the desktop that was scattered with various small parts.

"Gundam gunpla parts?"

"Better than rat suits," she says.

"Awww, but I wanna be Rat Suit Pickle Izuku," said Izuku.

"And Rat Suit Pickle Ochako," Ochako added.

"We're not doing a Rick and Morty thing."

"But this story is based on Rick and Morty," argued Izuku.

"What?" asks Mei.

"What?" Izuku and Ochako repeated the word.

Power Loader's brain was hurting.

"Well, can I at least be Gundam Deathscythe?" asks Ochako.

"And I want to be Wing Gundam Zero," says Izuku with a giddy voice.

"Just make sure we don't blow up," Ochako warns Mei.

"Please! I'll make sure you won't blow up! If you do, I won't get my threesome."

"What?" inquired Izuku and Ochako.

"What?" Mei repeated the word.

Power Loader wisely saved his sanity by leaving the studio workshop.

After an hour of construction, Mei was grinning as she hits a button and a Rube Goldberg-like sequence started up, starting with two crane arms grabbing Izuku and Ochako and setting them up on the stand as numerous mini mechanical arms started to assemble a network of parts to form two functioning mechanical bodies. All the while Mei watches with a giddy smile on her face as her babies went to work gifting mobility to her two friends.

Later during lunch break, Class 1-A sat at their usual tables. It was a bit quieter than usual for 1-A today as Izuku and Ochako weren't attending classes due to the situation they're involved in currently. Their homeroom teacher wisely informed Nezu about the situation and the two students in question were excused for the day while the quirk eventually wore off and their transformation ended. Luckily for Izuku and Ochako, they had several classmates take diligent notes on today's classroom assignments and collected their homework assignments from the teachers.

"Hey guys!" Mei cheerfully greeted as she pops up with her lunch tray. Once again she was convinced to eat something by Izuku and Ochako, as she sits down between Tenya Iida and Shoto Todoroki.

"Hatsume! How are Midoriya and Uraraka?" asks Tenya as a fellow concerned classmate/class rep.

"They're fine. I got them moving now," she answers.

"Moving? How, kero?"

There's the sound of thrust engines as two figurine-sized toys seemingly flew into the cafeteria, catching everyone's attention before landing on the table hosting 1-A.

"Hey everyone! It's us!" Izuku cheerfully greeted them. "Wing Gundam Zero Pickle Izuku!"

"And Gundam Deathscythe Pickle Ochako!" Ochako shouts happily.

Izuku and Ochako high-five each other.

Aside the cockpit base and the heads replaced with Izuku and Ochako in pickle form, it's like someone had taken the two most famously recognized Gundams in the entire series and shrunk them down to pickle size. They have the parts and everything included that resembled the two famous Gundams in Gundam history. They even have the weapons equipped (modified, of course).

"Aren't I fucking awesome?" asks Mei with a cute smile.

"Holy crap! They're Gundams now!" shouts Mina.

"This is totally awesome!" Denki shouted, agreeing with Mina, snapping pictures with his phone.

Izuku and Ochako were grinning. Despite their pickle situation, they were actually having fun being Gundams for a day. Little did they know that they would be able to perform some heroic work on this day in their current forms…


It's not Rat Suits, but Gundam Suits!

In the next chapter, Izuku and Ochako fight against a dastardly food-thieving villain inside the walls and underground of the school.
