Heroes Never Die It's Hero Time

by CreateGunner1209

One would think that in a world where everyday people possess impossible abilities nothing would really be a surprise. Izuku Midoriya, who upon the age of four was diagnosed as quirkless, was denied of his dream of become a hero that can save everyone with a smile. But fate gives him a chance; allowing him access not to one but a universe of powers and abilities.

The intruder pauses. "Tomura…Shigaraki. Hehehe." The intruder chuckles, slowly turning around to face the leader of the League of Villains. "It is a pleasure." His red eyes shine with mirth, as his black lips curl into a sinister smile.

Tomura Shigaraki immediately senses that something is not right with this guy, not at all. This guy…he…he doesn't seem…he doesn't seem. Human? For some reason. Why though? He's just a freak with a Mutation, so then why? Why is he on edge?

"What do you want?" Shigaraki spits out, demanding an answer!

"I want-" The skeletal intruder leans forward, his grin widening, his yellow teeth on full display in a disgusting smile. "-what my Master desires."

For a moment, it feels like all the air has been sucked out from the room as Shigaraki eyes the skeletal ambassador with much skepticism and unease. Who is this guy? And who in the hell is his… "Master?"

What the hell is this guy's deal? "What the hell are you spitting on about? Who the hell are you?" Shigaraki eyes the seemingly frozen Nue who's surrounded by some sort of electrical field that's holding him in place. "And what did you do?"

The intruder bows. "Excuse my interruption. I never meant to offend, but your…pawns didn't take kindly to my arrival."

"Well if you don't mind, Skelator, but can you…unfreeze the freak?"

"Very well." Skeletor goes ahead and with a press of a button on his arm brace, the electrical field around Nue dissipates.

"RAH!" Nue unfreezes, stumbling forward, and catching his breath. "What the hell was that?!" He snarls up at the intruder, baring his jagged fangs as he emits a low growl. "What did you do to me? What the hell was that Quirk?!"

The intruder, skeletor, scoffs. "Quirk? Hehehe."

Shigaraki scowls. "You have a lot to answer for, skeletor. For starters, who the hell are you?"

"Pardon me, I'm afraid I failed to introduce myself." Skeletor bows. "My name is Psyphon."

"Psyphon?"

From behind the bar, Kurogiri finally picks himself off the ground, brushing off his dust vest to recompose himself. "And what brings you here, Psyphon?"

Psyphon answers, without turning away from Shigaraki. "I am here for the League. I am here to recruit you for my Master's ambitions."

"Recruit? Us?" Shigaraki's fingers flex at his sides. "You're pissing me off. What? You think the League are some thugs for hire?"

Psyphon scowls, annoyed. "Save your breath, I care not for your whims." He leans forward, sneers as his red eyes narrow in on Shigaraki like he's under a microscope. "But I do care for your master's whims."

Shigaraki's taken back. "What?"

"You…are a servant." Psyphon explains. "A pawn. Like me." He grimaces, acknowledging his truth. "I can spot a fellow slave."

"I. Am. No. Slave!" Shigaraki snaps!

"You may not see yourself that way, but you are a slave to your master's will, to their whims." Psyphon sneers. "To their goals."

"You SON OF A BITCH!" Shigaraki lunges forward, his hand ready to strike!

But Psyphon is unsurprised and prepared as with a simple press of a button a red electrical forcefield encases his entire being.

Shigaraki's hand harmlessly slams onto the forcefield before being batted away by the shock. "What?!"

Dabi frowns, eyeing the glowing shield. "A…forcefield?"

Himiko Toga gushes. "So, cool!"

Charmcaster frowns, eyeing the forcefield with worry and curiosity. "That's not a Quirk."

Giran whistles at the sight, his grin wide and thrilled at the potential money maker. "That's some high-level tech you got there. Mind sharing where you got a piece of beauty like that?"

Psyphon lets out a boisterous laugh! "Hahaha! Please, this technology is out of your reach."

Seeing his attacks nullified, Shigaraki backs off.

"Tomura Shigaraki…I wish to speak to your master on behalf of my Master."

Shigaraki tsks. "Tough luck, he's not here right now."

"No, he's not." Psyphon acknowledges. "But like any master, they always have a close eye on their underlings." From the safety of the forcefield, Psyphon goes ahead and scans the entirety of the bar from the drinks, to the chairs and walls, until finally his eyes land on the TV monitor seated at the corner of the bar table. "I know they are listening."

Everyone pauses, remaining silent waiting for Psyphon to continue. But Psyphon paused to wait, to wait and see if an answer would come.

It does not.

"I see." The forcefield around Psyphon powers down as he turns to face Shigaraki. "Perhaps I need to be more…assertive." His fist begins to glow red and a light hum of a high-tech laser powering up can be heard.

Nue's eyes widen before he leaps into action! "RAAGH!"

He swings a diamond blade down at Psyphon! But Psyphon's lanky build allows him to swiftly sidestep away before blasting a red laser into the freak's face, laughing him into the wall!

"Nue!" Kurogiri cries out as a portal begins to form just above Psyphon.

However, the little scout drone that's been hovering over its master aims up and greets the portal with an electrical discharge dissipating the smoky portal!

As this all goes down, Shigaraki takes his shot, seeing an opening to charge in and strike!

But he doesn't make it far as his entire body freezes in place, unable to move an inch as a transparent electrical field dances around him. Immobilizing him completely.

'I…I can't move!' The damn skeletor looking freak got him with some sort of freeze-frame Quirk or ray or something!

"Shigaraki!" Kurogiri cries out, ready to leap over the bar to save him but he's too late.

Psyphon practically glides over to Shigaraki's side and slams his glowing red fist towards the man's head, threatening to blow it off with one shot! "Stand down, pawn. Or this one meets his end."

Nue scoffs. "Like I care about that guy?!" He prepares to attack again!

Kurogiri snaps! "Nue! Stand down!"

"RAHHHHH!" Nue pounces, roaring at the top of his lungs as he prepares to bash the intruder's head in!

Even with a beating headed his way, Psyphon remains unflinching and patient.

"I'LL KILL YOU-"

"That's quite enough, Nue."

The chilling tone, the cold shiver of looming death, and the calm yet dangerous voice brings the entire bar and its patrons to a standstill.

No one makes a move: not Nue, not Kurogiri, and not the new recruits. And none of them have even been blasted by Psyphon's freeze-frame ray.

Speaking of, Psyphon turns and glares back at the TV monitor that's now turned on and displaying nothing but static.

After a moment Shigaraki's master's voice echoes through. "Please, Psyphon forgive my associates. They are head strong and high spirited, I'm afraid." There's a pause likely because the speaker is briefly examining the state of his underlings. "They are especially prone to lashing out at those they find to their disliking."

Psyphon scowls at the screen, before he stands down. His laser shuts off and he deactivates the freeze frame, releasing Shigaraki. "You must be their master."

Shigaraki coughs, and glares at Psyphon with murderous intent but the sound of his Sensei's voice holds him back.

"Master? I much prefer regarding myself as their Sensei than master."

Psyphon waves his claims away. "What you think of yourself is of no consequence to me."

"Fair enough. But for full disclosure I don't normally partake in such transactions such as this. But your unique arsenal has certainly caught my…attention."

Psyphon scowls becoming more impatient with each passing second.

"But you are not here to discuss trinkets and gadgets. No, you came for something else entirely. You wish to recruit my League of Villains?"

"My Master would like to recruit the League's services, yes."

Shigaraki snaps. "Why you-"

"And who is your Master?"

Psyphon's glare turns cold with an underlying hint of fear behind his crimson gaze. "A conqueror."

One could almost hear All For One crack a smile from the other end. "As am I. Sounds like your Master is a man cut from the same cloth."

"No." Psyphon's voice is quiet and fearful, like one who's lost all hope. "He is no man. He is a being beyond your comprehension and power."

There is a harsh pause over the interior of the bar, the patrons all sharing looks of skepticism and suspicion. Unsure what to make of the messenger's declaration.

But All For One couldn't be more amused, chuckling lightly to himself in the background. "In any case, what would my League gain from working with you and your Master?"

"That is something my Master wishes to discuss with you." Psyphon bows in respect. "My Master can be very generous to those that cooperate with his vision. He can offer many things: knowledge, weapons, and" A cruel smirk forms across Psyphon's dark lips. "power. '

He doesn't say anymore. "In that case, I'd certainly like to speak with this…being."

"Very well." Psyphon straightens up. "My Master will allow you to set a date, time, and location to congregate."

"I'd be happy to oblige. I look forward to finding out what exactly your Master has to offer me."

A cold calculating smirk forms across Psyphon's lips. Pleased with his progress and the naivety of these humans.

Ch.46 Alien Emotion

The alien-tech elevator slowly begins to descend into Plumber Base. The two riders, wearing summer attire, stand around waiting for the elevator to reach its destination.

Izuku Midoriya adjusts the collar of his black and green hoodie, the same one gifted to him by Uraraka. "So…?"

Ochaco Uraraka leans back and looks over at him.

"How are you after…?" Izuku lets the question hang in the air, allowing her to finish the thought.

And she does. "I'm alright, still a bit shaken but I'm doing a lot better."

It's been a few days since the encounter with Shigaraki but after a few days of police protection and monitoring it was deemed safe for her to go about her days without worry. At least for now.

"I'm kinda surprised your folks even allowed you to leave the house."

"Yeah well Mr. Tsukauchi gave them a call reassuring them there'd be nothing to worry about." It was a very long call to be honest. "Plus, I told them this was important hero-school stuff."

"Well that's not entirely wrong." Izuku chuckles. "I mean we are by U.A." Technically, albeit within the hill besides the school.

"True." Ochaco blinks curiously. "Where's your dad by the way? He must have gotten the alert too?"

Well she says an alert, but it was odd: it was just a message from Thirteen to get to Plumber Base ASAP to provide some help with something.

Izuku frowns, a hint of exasperation in his eyes. "He…left early this morning."

"Ah." Ochaco's gaze fills with concern, eyeing Izuku worriedly after noticing how quiet and somber he became at the mention of his dad. "So… How are things with you?"

"Okay."

"I meant. How has getting along with your dad been going?"

Izuku averts his gaze, becoming quiet for a moment before replying. "It's…okay."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah…"

She's not so sure. "Deku, just…don't get upset with him, okay?"

Immediately Izuku becomes flustered and panicked. "I'm not upset!?"

Ochaco gives him a deadpan, skeptical look.

"I mean…I don't think I am."

Before Ochaco can dig more into the issue, a ding of the elevator draws their attention; they've finally arrived.

They both stand up straight waiting for the high-tech door to slide open. Their minds run with questions; wondering what the alert could possibly be about. Perhaps they want to show them some more alien stuff? Or maybe they need more people for a search and rescue? Or maybe they just need someone to do some chores around the base? Whatever it is they're both sure they'll be able to handle them. It'll be no problem. No sweat. No trouble at all.

The door slides open and-

"WE DEMAND ANSWERS!"

"HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO LIVE OUR LIVES!?

"GRBGRBGRB!?"

"WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE SOMETHING!?"

"SKREEEE!?"

"HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PROTECT US!?"

The two teens are nearly thrown back by the sheer pressure of the uproar they are met with! They immediately clamp their hands over their ears but even that's not enough to stop the flood of piercing thundering noise!

The main lobby of the Plumber Base is overrun by a horde of rowdy upset aliens that all seem to be congregating towards the center of the lobby, protesting about something.

Ochaco squeezes her ears. "What's happening?! Why are all these aliens here?!"

"Don't know! Come on!" Izuku immediately throws himself at the horde, with Ochaco tailing right behind him.

They push and shove their way through the loud and rowdy crowd! Trying their best not to get themselves shoved to the ground and trampled.

Izuku has to basically pull away flailing limbs, claws, tails, and tentacles away from his face. "Excuse me!"

"WATCH IT!"

"Sorry!"

"MY TAIL!"

"My bad!"

"SKREEEE!"

"Pardon me!" After a few more drives towards the front of the crowd, Izuku is eventually able to spot Thirteen, One-One, and Principal Nezu at the center of the alien mass. And joining them is of course his father, Hisashi Midoriya, and his droid, Chopper. They all seem to be trying their best to calm everyone down, but the upset only seems to be escalating.

Cinder, decked out in his full red-Plumber attire, is mounted atop a nearby desk! "People please, settle down, please! There's no need to panic!"

"Panic?!" Cries a small pink-bunny looking alien. "This is the perfect time to panic!"

Thirteen, also in their full uniform, helmet and all, steps forward to meet the crowd. "Please, remain calm."

"Calm?!" Shouts a Boove. "How are we supposed to be the calm with the one knowns as Vilgax looms over our heads, yes he does?!"

The entire horde of aliens cry out in agreement! "YEAH!"

Izuku and Ochaco immediately go cold upon hearing the conqueror's name.

Glad-One backs away from the crowd, not wanting to be kicked around. ^Oh, my, everyone sure is rowdy.^

Sad-One, obviously, has to chime in. ^Yeah, if this keeps up they'll tears us limb from limb.^

^Bwap!^ Chopper shakes his head, his metal limbs flailing around out of panic, not wanting to be torn apart and turned into scrape!

The crowd continues to cry out in protest! "We know he's here!"

"Yeah! And what, you guys thought you could cover it up?!"

"Not only that, you didn't warn us about the bounty hunter either!"

"Yeah, what if SixSix came for us?!"

Principal Nezu frowns worriedly, becoming more and more concerned with the growing animosity. "My apologies. It was my decision not to inform you all, in the hopes of not disturbing your peaceful lives."

"Too late for that!" Shouts a Quarren who bursts to the front of the crowd! "How are we supposed to go about our business when a slimy, no good, octopus-faced creep threatening us?!"

"No kidding!" A blue-skinned Octalian squeezes himself out from the crowd besides the Quarren. "How are we supposed to hide from a guy like that? He'll find us no matter what!" As if to prove his point, the Octalian inhales and holds his breath before his entire body morphs and squeezes in onto itself until he becomes a turtle! He lands on the ground with a clank before tucking into his shell.

A thin yellow tentacle slithers out and picks up the transformed Octalian and a rather tall alien reassembling a yellow octopus slides forward. He has a large, bulbous head with a large smile with beady eyes. He's wearing a black academic dress, a small black squarish academic cap with a yellow tassel, and a large black tie with a yellow crescent-shaped moon on it.

The yellow octopus comforts the transformed turtle, his grin never moving or faltering like he's unable to actually move his jaw. "He's too slippery to even be caught! And way too smart to be defeated! He's too dangerous!"

Standing not so far away from within the crowd, Izuku frowns while wondering. "How'd they even find out?"

Ochaco shrugs just as worried. "No, idea. But why now?"

"Not only that!" Shouts an Edosian! "How can we keep lying in secret with the boy exposing us?!"

The teens' hearts drop to their stomachs as the rest of the aliens are thrown into an uproar!

"It's crazy! How can we remain a secret if the kid's transforming into us?!"

"What's worse is that the entire country, no, the entire planet, saw him!"

"What if the humans and the heroes figure it out?!"

Cinder immediately takes offense, quickly interjecting with these claims! "People, please, there is no threat of exposure. Everything is under our control."

It doesn't work as he's met with nothing but more outcries from the very upset and rather scared aliens! And for good reason, after all a conquer of worlds is hovering just above their heads.

But right now the aliens within Plumber Base are what has the teens worried right now.

"Hey it's the kid!"

And just like that, the entire horde have turned their attention onto one person, the holder of the Omnitrix.

"WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF!?"

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

"YOU'RE GOING TO RUIN US!"

"Hey, get away from him!" Ochaco tries to step forward to defend her friend but she's shoved aside by the unruly horde!

And that leaves Izuku to deal with the shouting and outcries all alone, lost in a mass of confusion, anger, and fear!

Cinder's eyes flash with fear before he scowls and loses his composure at the sight. "Enough! He's just a kid! Stand down!"

But his pleas go unheard and unanswered as the panic grows and grows. The aliens becoming louder and more unruly with each passing second!

Ochaco finds herself shoved back all the way to the elevator, stuck between the large metal door and the backs of aliens. They're so loud she can't even hear her own shouts!

But one thing catches her ears other than the shouting, and it's the ding of the elevator, announcing its arrival into the base.

Ochaco pries herself away from the door just as it quietly slides open and upon it becoming ajar a soothing aura washes over her, calming the girl down with a sense of relief and calmness.

And it's not just her soon the shouting and shoving calms down too as each and every alien falls under some sort of spell. Each of them becoming calm and passive as a soothing hush befalls them all, it honestly feels like a veil of positive emotions have washed over them making them subdued and relaxed.

"Oh my, this is no way to conduct yourselves~."

The entire horde turn towards the elevator and upon seeing the new arrival they all part away like the Red Sea allowing the being a straight path towards the Plumbers and a now freed Izuku.

The new arrival is, in a word, beautiful. She is elegant, yet strange, graceful yet inhuman even though she has a clear humanoid body. Her features are soft, her skin pale as fresh snow, her attire alien yet sleek like a veil made of unearthly silks practically floats off her body. Her blush-pink hair is lush and runs down her sides and past her shoulder blades, as two smooth yellow antenna protrude out her head, and cure ever so slightly back, almost waving in the air like they're underwater water.

Thirteen's eyes widen at the sight of her.

The alien woman doesn't show any expression other than utter serenity. "Your worries, your fears, they are not unfounded~." She practically glides forward undeterred by the now calmed aliens. "But they are ill advised~. These Plumbers have given us their time and efforts towards our peace of mind and well-being~. It is unjust and unwise for us to accost them for fulfilling their duties~." She looks towards the Plumbers. "I agree that we should have been made aware, but I understand why you chose to keep silent about this~." Her soft yellow eyes land on Nezu. "You feel it necessary to keep those out of the loop for their own wellbeing and mental stability~. A noble gesture but sometimes…" She frowns and for a second there's an air of guilt surrounding her. "a foolish one~..."

Ochaco makes her way to Izuku's side, but neither of them acknowledges each other as all their attention is now on the woman and the air around her.

The woman's antennas wave slowly through the air as she turns to address the massive horde. "For all our sakes, I suggest we trust in the Plumbers who've willingly placed their lives to serve and protect us~."

There are nods and chimes of agreement from within the crowd. And they all settle down enough to signal that the outcries are indeed over.

With the horde calm and appeased, Principal Nezu finally lets out a relieved sigh. "You have my most grateful thanks."

The woman smiles. "It was no trouble; I am most pleased to have helped~."

Cinder hops down off the desk, eyeing the woman with some familiarity.

And in the meantime Izuku and Ochaco watch on, unsure of who this woman is and what she did to calm such a turbulent crowd.

Principal Nezu smiles on. "Can I assume you did not come here to demand answers?"

The woman nods. "You presume correctly, I've traveled here today to speak~."

"Speak to whom?"

"I'd like to request that I speak with Thirteen~."

Thirteen immediately steps forward with a sense of knowing. "I'd be more than happy to, but…" They eye the still present crowd.

Principal Nezu waves it off. "Not to worry, the rest of us can handle things from here. Go on, you may use our conference room."

"Great."

"Thank you~."

And so Thirteen leads their guest away from the lobby leaving the rest of them to deal with the now quiescent horde of aliens.

Even so the teens just stand there, watching on as Thirteen and the woman disappear behind the shutting doors leading into the main base.

Off to the side, Glad-One chimes in. ^She's very pretty.^

Sad-One responds, deadpan and suspicious. ^I don't trust her.^

---

"Phew!" Ochaco slumps back into her seat, having been posted behind one of the lobby desks.

Izuku wonders over feeling just as tired. "Yeah, finally…"

After an hour they were able to reassure all of the aliens on an individual basis to address their questions and safety. And thankfully after the spell that mysterious woman casted over them most of them remained open and reassured by their claims before leaving.

Ochaco frowns thinking about the crowd's reaction before the woman's arrival. "They all seemed really upset."

Izuku frowns too, shivering at the thought of being at their mercy again. "Yeah, but…why now?"

Overhearing, Principal Nezu strolls over and provides an answer. "Rumors."

The kids blink. "Rumors?"

"Yes, most of the community were skeptical and had their suspicions about Vilgax's appearance. But the recent rumors have them on edge."

Izuku frowns. "What rumors though?"

"After speaking with them, the alien residents. There are claims, rumors, of a servant of Vilgax appearing in Japan. But there's no clear evidence of their visitation." Still though it is rather concerning. "Even so Vilgax's ever growing presence in this solar system is continuously a bother for the residents."

Hisashi removes his respirator, stepping forward to add in his thoughts. "It doesn't help matters that Vilgax has shown a great interest towards you, because of the Omnitrix, and thus they can't help but aim their frustrations at you as well."
Izuku tucks into himself feeling somewhat guilty and a bit of a target at this point. But then again guess he was always a target…

Ochaco airs her concerns. "Isn't there anything we can do? I mean a lot of the residents were asking why we don't recruit more experienced Plumbers to help out."

Principal Nezu frowns. "I've requested aid, but sadly to say my requests have been met with silence."

"What? Why?!"

"Politics. Favoritism. And the such." Principal Nezu responds. "And the threat of galactic war."

Hisashi explains before the kids can even ask for clarification. "If the Plumbers as a whole act too rashly they risk being drawn into a full-blown war with Vilgax and his empire. And no one's exactly willing to risk trillions and trillions of lives…for a backwater planet…" Hisashi frowns, his expression becoming sad and offended as he quotes the higherup's words.

Now Izuku feels even more self-conscious and depressed. Not only does it hurt to hear your own planets referred to as "backwater" but the fact that they can't even take action without putting trillions of lives in danger hurts even more.

Hisashi immedialty takes notice of Izuku's discomfort. "But I wouldn't stress over it, the threat of war also applies to Vilgax as well. And he knows how capable the Plumbers can be, hence why he hasn't tried anything too drastic." So far. "Besides he can't even track the Omnitrix anymore so he can't find you."

Good think Principal Nezu and One-One installed that signal jammer, preventing Vilgax from even tracking Izuku anymore. Plus with their friend, Tetrax, out leading Vilgax's forces on a wild goose chase they really don't have too much to worry about for a while. At least until they can figure something out.

Even knowing all this himself, it fails to cheer Izuku up in any way. "Yeah…"

Frowning with concern, Hisashi slowly reaches out in order to give his son some form of comfort.

But almost reflexively, Izuku backs away before allowing his father to even grace his arm.

The move was so sudden and without thought that a resounding sting is left behind as Hisashi's hand remains alone and unmoving in the air.

Principal Nezu frowns at the reaction as does Ochaco as Hisashi's frowns, feeling the sharp sting of rejection.

Before anything can be addressed, the main doors to the base open up.

"Hey everyone, I-!" Thirteen comes to halt, pausing in their step upon seeing the stunned and concerned faces of the others. "Um, did I walk in on something?"

Hisashi slowly lowers his hand before somberly responding. "No, it's fine. Do you need something?"

"Yeah, I need them." Thirteen points right at the two kids.

Ochaco slowly turns away from Izuku. "Us? What for?"

Thirteen gestures for them to follow and so they do, leaving the others to their own devices. After a moment of composing himself Izuku finally speaks up. "Thirteen, what's this about?"

Without looking back Thirteen leads them up towards the top floor. "You know our guest, right?"

Ochaco nods. "The one that calmed everyone down?"

"Yes, they need you two."

"Us? But why?"

"We both think it's best if you two handle this rather than me."

Izuku frowns. "What does that mean?"

Thirteen doesn't reply as they enter the conference room with its carpet and huge table with the nearby doors leading into the armory and control room.

But seated at the table is the very guest they came to see.

The woman rises from her seat, bowing in respect at Ochaco and Izuku. "Hello, dears~."

The two teens bow back in respect. "Hello."

Thirteen steps forward, legend the kids forward. "Midoriya. Uraraka. I'd like to meet my good friend, Eirene."

"The pleasure is all mine~." Eirene gives a soft smile, her yellow eyes glimmering. "I've heard so much about you both, it feels like I already know you~."

The kids can only assume Thirteen's spoken of them before, plus there was the Sports Festival and the news so they're not exactly unknown people.

Izuku steps forward. "Thirteen said you need our help, is that right?"

"Yes~. I believe you two would serve my purposes the best~."

Izuku and Ochaco share a look, wondering what purpose they would be serving?

Thirteen gestures towards the table. "Why don't you two sit down? And we can explain."

And so they all take a seat sitting across from each other: Thirteen and Eirene on one end with Izuku and Ochaco on the other.

Before they can explain, Izuku's itch for answers takes over and he jumps the gun a bit. "So, um, I'm just curious, but how did you do that?"

Eirene frowns. "Pardon~?"

"Back there? You were able to calm everyone down just by walking into the room, how?"

Eirene smiles, understanding the question. "Aw~. I suppose you've never seen anything like me have you~?" She gets up allowing the students to take her all in. "I am what's known as an Emotlyst~."

"An…Emotlyst?"

"Yes~." The Emotlyst nods, her antennae waving over her head. "My species has the unique ability of emotional production, influence and stability over ourselves and others~."

Confused, the teens turn to Thirteen for an explanation.

Not missing a beat, Thirteen clarifies. "She's an empath."

Both teens oh in understanding. "Ooohhh."

It then clicks for Ochaco. "Oh! Emotlyst! I get it, it's like…emote!"

Eirene chuckles. "Why, yes it is~. Coincidentally, you may refer to my power as Emote~." It's much easier to refer to an Emotlyst's power.

"Cool!"

Izuku's curiosity continues to get the better of him. "How does it work exactly?"

"My antennae~." Eirene gestures to the slowly waving yellow horns over her head. "Evolutionarily they allow my species to communicate with each other through the emotion waves our brains can emit~." Allowing them to communicate how they are feeling at any given moment, if they choose to do so. "However these frequencies are powerful and can affect those around us~."

Izuku gasps. "Like what happened earlier?!"

"Yes~. I simply emitted my own emotions of calm and ease to sooth them~."

Ochaco's in awe. "Amazing."

"Thank you~."

Izuku frowns, leaning forward in his seat. "But…why would someone like you need our help?"

"I'm afraid my situation is…rather sensitive~." Eirene admits with a frown.

"How so?"

This is when Thirteen cuts. "Alright, so…" They pause trying to figure out the best way to explain this. "as you know aliens have been living among us for a while now."

The teens nod, wondering where they're going with this?

"Well that means sometimes humans find out about aliens."

Ochaco nods. "Okay." Not a surprise, after all Mr. Baumann's a human and he knows about aliens so yeah it makes sense others would find out too.

"And well sometimes those encounters can go really well." Thirteen fidgets in their seat trying to keep this as mature as possible. "So well the humans and aliens become friends…" Their eyes drift over towards Eirene. "And maybe even more…"

"And sometimes~." Eirene smiles softly caressing her heart. "They create something very special~."

After a moment, it all clicks together and the teens freeze in place, turning pale.

Thirteen continues. "And here lies the problem."

Eirene bows. "I need your help…to help me reveal everything…to my child~."

The teens gasp! "What?!"

An exasperated Thirteen gives in and goes ahead with the full explanation. "Okay, here's the deal. Her kid's half-Emotlyst and half-human. But they don't know it; they don't even know aliens exist."

Izuku's eyebrows furrow in confusion. "So…what? They think they're a normal human?"

Eirene nods. "Yes~."

Well it sort-of makes sense, the kid probably thinks they have some-sort of Mutant type Quirk or something to explain their appearance. The little kid's probably getting to an age where they have a lot of questions or at least at an age where they can keep a secret.

But there's something the two teens need to know.

Izuku goes ahead and asks. "But why us?"

Thirteen replies. "Simple, kids are more likely to listen to other people their own age. And you guys, especially Midoriya, can provide evidence to back up everything you're going to say." Add some sense of validation and truth to the matter. "Eirene needs you to help convince her kid that aliens are real, that they're mother's an alien, and by extension they're also an alien."

Ochaco gasps, shrinking away from this huge responsibility. "This sounds like a lot of pressure! You know potentially blowing up someone's reality!"

"You're not going alone; I'll be there too." Reassures Thirteen. "But it'd be best to have you two to help keep things calm."

"Calm?" Izuku tilts his head to the side. "Can't she do that, with Emote?" He gestures towards the Emotlyst.

"Afraid not~." Eirene replies, gesturing towards her antennae. "Emote only affects others of another species~. But to our own kind, even partly, all it does is act as a form of communication, nothing more~." They cannot influence the emotions of other Emotlysts.

Izuku nods. "Ah, I see."

"That's why I require assistance, especially from you both~." Eirene explains. "As I've said, and from what you have seen, Emote can be quite powerful, but any misuse can have rather dire consequences~."

The teens need an explanation and Thirteen is quick to provide one. "Just think, that angry mob, loud and angry, but then boosted by Emote because an Emotlyst was having a bad day."

The kids go pale and a shiver runs down their spines, as a shock of dread courses through them as they imagine that crowd tearing the base apart in a rampage.

Thirteen nods, knowing that they fully understand the situation now. "They'd be rioting and rampaging across the base, and maybe up top too." And neither's a situation the Plumbers would like to deal with, not one bit.

"My child's own Emote has been developing rather slowly~." Eirene admits. "But I can feel Emote growing more and more with the passage of time~. And…I'm afraid of the consequences if it were to go unchecked~."

Izuku frowns. "But wait, can't you explain Emote as a Quirk?"

"No." answers Thirteen. "Her kid's already developed a Quirk. One that's not even related to Emote."

"Really? Then what about Emote? How can it develop if there's already a Quirk?"

"Emote's not a Quirk, it's a staple of the species as a whole like how all humans are genetically built to have hands or a heart. It's the same for them. Think of it like a car, Emote is like the engine of the Emotlyst species car but a Quirk is the turbo that gets added in to give the car itself a boost. "

"Oh." Makes sense both can occur with each other, but the Quirk is unnecessary compared to the evolutionary design that is Emote.

And so at this point telling the kid that they developed a second Quirk, one unrelated to their actual Quirk, probably wouldn't go over all too well, especially when they get older and want to seek out medical attention for issues that might not even be human related.

And what's worse, if this gets ignored and the kid's never told the truth about Emote, and the one day they get upset or even depressed, the effect that might have on everyone else. It might just be a catastrophe in the making.

Thirteen looks to the students for their answer. "So, can we count on you both to be there?"

After a moment, Izuku answers. "I don't see why not."

Ochaco has to agree. "Yeah. I mean I'm kinda nervous, but I think it'll be okay."

Eirene smiles, grateful for their commitment. "Aw~. Thank you~."

Ochaco grins. "We're happy we can help."

Izuku turns to Thirteen. "So when do we go?"

Thirteen replies. "Later today, actually."

"We'll reconvene at my place of residence~." Eirene adds in.

Makes sense, the kid's own home will be the most comfortable place for them to be in when they potentially shatter their whole reality.

Thirteen cuts in. "In the meantime, we'll stay here and prepare."

Ochaco gives a big thumbs up! "You got it!"

Eirene smiles on, overjoyed with the news, and oh so grateful for the teens' involvement.

As Thirteen explains more about their plan, Izuku's mind begins to wonder. 'Wait, why did she keep this a secret to begin with?' He eyes Eirene curiously, wondering why a parent would keep such a big secret from their child….

---

Hisashi is slowly strolling through one of the many halls of the Plumber Base, he's just been released to go out on patrol, but he needs to head over to the armory to make sure he's all geared up before he heads out.

As he wonders, he can't help but replay the scene in his mind, how instinctually Izuku moved away from him back there. And the more he thinks about it the more it hurts; it hurts because it really does feel like he's over stepping. But what else can he do?

What's worse is that he's picked up that something else has been weighing on Izuku's mind. And he'd really like to ask him what's been bothering him, but again…Izuku would probably walk away and not bother with him.

Just like at the beginning… Nothing's changed…

As Hisashi makes his way to the upper level he spots Eirene gracefully and slowly ahead of him, making her own way back towards the main lobby.

"Eirene." Hisashi smiles in greeting. "It's good to see you again. Sorry we couldn't speak before." He admits with a sheepish grin.

Eirene waves it off. "It's quite alright, you had your hands full at the time~." She says with a bit of concern.

Hisashi wilts trying to keep up his friendly smile. "So, are you on your way out?"

"Not yet~." Eirene admits with a worried frown. "I was just…concerned~."

"Concerned? About what?" Hisashi laughs. "Everything's good here."

Eirene gives him a very disapproving look. "Please, Cinder, I know that you know that I don't need to tell you how Emote also allows me to sense the emotional states of others~."

Hisashi's smile fades away as Eirene steps closer with a sad frown on her face. "Ever since I arrived, I could sense it~." Her antennae slowly waves in the air to emphasize her point. "The remorse and sorrow looming around you and your child~."

Hisashi's shoulders slump in defeat, sighing and admitting the truth. "I've been gone a long time. But I have a duty. And I was forced away."

"I'm well aware~. But you have another duty, to your child~."

A responsibility to be there for your child.

"So now the question is: which duty do you prioritize~?"

"That's easy, my family." Hisashi replies, hastily.

"Is it~?" Eirene isn't so sure. "You don't feel that way~."

"What? Yes I do!"

"Your emotions and heart betray each other~. Your sense of responsibility and selflessness is inspiring and reassuring~. However, your sense of duty towards protecting and serving others has caused a rift within your own home~."

Hisashi's heart plummets into his stomach.

"You've been away from you child for so long~." Eirene's voice is sorrowful yet empathetic. "You feel out of place, like he doesn't require your guidance, that he' doesn't need you~."

That's true.

"You feel like…you have to earn his love~."

Yes.

"You're afraid that there's a barrier between you both that you can't break~."

Yes… it's all true. Izuku's lived his entire life without him, he doesn't need him. And he knows it, that's why…that's why he's hesitant to force Izuku to open up. Because he doesn't actually think he deserves to be part of…his son's world.

"Although your fears are not without reason, they are holding you back~."

Hisashi's breath hitches.

"Izuku needs his father~. He needs you to love and support him~. He needs to know that you were always there and always will be~." Eirene looks Hisashi right in the eye, from one parent to another. "Break through the barrier and reach him~."

Her message hits home, taking Hisashi's breath away. She makes it sound so easy but…how? How is he supposed to break through? How can he reach him? Without him turning away…?

With her message delivered, Eirene bows her head in respect. "Take care~. Cinder~."

And she takes her leave, heading off to prepare, leaving Hisashi alone to contemplate over his own truths.

---

A few hours later, Izuku, Ochaco, and Thirteen are strolling through a suburban town, making their way for Eirene's home and her kid.

"This is kinda exciting." Ochaco fidgets as they stroll down the sidewalk. "But I'm also kinda nervous, I mean I never met a half-human and half-alien before."

"I know." agrees Izuku.

"It happens a lot more often than you might think." Comments Thirteen who's dawning a normal business attire, their hero costume nowhere in sight. Something about not wanting to draw the attention of hero-fans and the media. "A lot of aliens end up marrying and having kids with humans."

Ochaco lights up. "I bet they become great heroes if they have a Quirk and their alien powers."

Thirteen frowns. "Well, in truth some end up joining the Plumbers most of the time and the others would rather keep to themselves and live a relatively normal life."

Thirteen continues. "Besides even though it happens from time to time, it's not like every eighth person you meet is part alien. It happens but it's still a bit of a rarity but not unheard of."

As they continue on their way Izuku's mind begins to wonder and question the sense of it all. He understands that the kid's unaware of their lineage, but he has to wonder why that is? Why would Eirene keep such a huge secret from her own child?

Then again, guess that's something him and the kid have in common; parents with a sense of need to keep them in the dark.

In the meantime, Ochaco peers over at Thirteen. "Are you sure we're the right ones to do this?"

Thirteen nods. "Of course, tasks like this will always come up for us."

Izuku raises an eyebrow. "So…what can you tell us about her kid? We don't even know if they're a boy or a girl."

"Oh, Eirene has a daughter the same age as the both of you."

"Really?"

"Yeah, and it'll be good for her to have some familiar faces there."

The teens pause. 'Familiar faces?' Oh, right, the Sports Festival and all the media coverage; the kid's probably a fan or at least familiar with them by now.

Thirteen comes to a stop, turning towards their destination. "Alright, we're here."

The teens stop and have a look themselves and what they see before them is…honestly…kinda a letdown. It's just a normal plain suburban house: two stories with a clipped yard, a flower garden, and even a little doghouse in the corner.

Izuku stares at the house, scanning for any signs of a hologram. "This is where an alien lives?"

Thirteen scoffs. "Duh! What did you think they lived in their spaceships in the middle of suburbia?"

Izuku blushes feeling rather embarrassed for jumping to the wrong conclusions.

The trio walk up the driveway only to be greeted by a tiny creature that springs out from the doghouse!

"Yap! Yap!"

"Aw! What a cutie!" Ochaco gushes at the tiny doggie.

A small Pomeranian with white, fluffy fur and a brown muzzle, ears, and paws yaps and scampers playfully around their feet. His little tail waving happily, thrilled to be having new potential friends visit.

"Yeah, that's Osushi." clarifies Thirteen, smiling in awe of the adorable creature just as much as Ochaco. "He's really friendly." To prove their point Thirteen bends down and picks up the little fuzzball who squirms and waves his paws around like he's trying to give them a hug.

Ochaco gushes, gently touching the little furball's waving paws. "And cuddly! Aw~."

"Yap!" Osushi launches himself forward and to the ground.

He yaps all the way to the front door where he plops his little rump down, wags his tail, and sticks his tongue out, panting, waiting for the new friends to ring the doorbell and meet the rest of the family.

Thirteen chuckles, understanding the message. "Here why don't you two go ahead and introduce yourselves first."

The teens nod and step forward, Osushi jumps the gun and paws at the door but he's too tiny for there to be any noise. And so with a quick inhale Izuku goes ahead and knocks on the door, the knock echoes within the house and almost immediately they can hear the muffled sounds of shuffling and calls. They can hear a young woman's voice whining about something, and the two teens immediately assume it's Eirene's daughter. There's more sounds of calls and shouts going back and forth from within the house.

Izuku and Ochaco worriedly turn back to Thirteen who gives them nothing but a smile and a thumbs up. And so the teens turn back towards the door as the commotion inside finally begins to die down.

They hear a body slump onto a wooden floor with a thump, like someone slide off their couch, followed by the sounds of bare feet lazily strolling up to the door.

Izuku and Ochaco straighten up becoming very self-conscious and nervous. This is it, they're about to meet a real half-alien half-human. Huh, gotta wonder what they look like if they're a mix.

The daughter's voice calls out from behind the door as it begins to swing open. "Hi! Sorry, you must be my…Mom's…guest…"

Izuku and Ochaco's eyes widen as they can only stare like fish out of water.

In response, Mina Ashido stares right back with surprise, not expecting to see this duo at all today.

…

All three of the hero students cry out in shock! "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?"

Their screeches so loud that Osushi whimpers and tries to press his tiny paws over his ears to muffle the shouting!

In the meantime, Thirteen snickers into their hand before peering over to the mailbox where a little sign hangs and the sign reads "Ashido Residence."

Mina gasps, peering around her classmates. "Wait is that Thirteen, too?! What are you guys doing at my house?"

Izuku and Ochaco gape their mouths opening and closing like fish gasping for breath. "We, uh, uh!"

Not finding their reaction at all amusing right now, Mina shakes her head. "Look I'd love to hang out, but my parents said that some really important guests were coming over, so this isn't really a good time."

Nothing she said actually processes in their minds, Izuku and Ochaco are into too much of a stunned silence to really process anything. Except for one thing: Mina's the ALIEN! Their classmates, their friend, is a half-human half-alien! And they never had a clue!

"Hahaha!" Thirteen finally breaks down laughing, overly enjoying their reactions and expression!

Eirene calls out from within the house. "Mina, are our guests here~?"

Izuku and Ochaco perk up at the sound of the familiar sing-songy voice as Eirene steps closer to the door.

But once again they're thrown for a loop as someone else greets them! Instead of Eirene they see her with long black-hair. Her head's topped with a large beanie, with two protrusions poking up from within, a clear indication of horns of some sort. Her face is completely covered with a thick pink scarf, and for some reason she's wearing sunglasses in doors! The rest of her is no better, she's completely decked out in a thick woolen sweater to her waist bound skirt that stretches down to just above her ankles. But that doesn't matter because she's wearing thick winter boots!

Izuku and Ochaco cry out! "WHO ARE YOU!?"

"Guys, seriously?" Mina pouts, annoyed and feeling rather offended. "You met her, that's my Mom. Remember? She was there at Parent's Day."

"Wait, but…" How?! How could Ms. Eirene go from such elegance and beauty to looking like a winter clothes magazine threw up all over her?!

Eirene gasps from behind her scarf. "Oh, my~. My apologies, this is the getup I like to wear when I go out~." As to show her point she pulls back on the black-haired wig revealing her real hair underneath. "I just came back from the store you see, and I didn't want to draw attention to myself~."

The teens frown. "Attention?"

"Yeah." replies Mina a matter-of-factually. "My mom's shy about her looks."

Somehow the teens doubt that's really the case.

"And she really shouldn't be." From behind Eirene a man steps forward, who the teens assume is the human and Mina's dad. "Hi, you must be Mina's friends from school."

Izuku jolts upon realizing who the man is. "Oh, you must be Ashido's human-I-I mean Ashido's dad!" Smooth Izuku, real smooth there buddy.

Mr. Ashido is tall and appears to be in his mid-forties. Like his daughter his entire body is pink, although not his hair, mainly because he's bald. Instead a small prehensile antenna-like appendage protrudes just above his forehead and curls back over his head. His eyes are dark just like Mina's with red pupils. His attire is that of an average office worker, minus the suit that's been left in the closet.

Mr. Ashido lets out a bellowing laugh! "Haha! Yes, I'm her dear old dad. The name's Buuyu Ashido. And it's a pleasure." Mr. Ashido sticks his hand out in greeting.

Izuku takes it. "A pleasure to meet you too."

Huh, so now they know where Mina gets her…looks from. And her Quirk.

Mr. Ashido grins in Thirteen's direction. "Thirteen good to see you."

Thirteen smiles back. "It's good to see you too. And not to seem rude but I think our young friends could use some clarifications."

"Yes~." agrees Eirene. "Mina darling~."

Mina stands up after pulling Osushi into her arms. "Yeah, Mom?"

"Would you please see our guests inside~?"

"Wait." Mina turns, her jaw dropping. "You guys are our guests?!"

Ochaco smiles sheepishly in response. "Surprise…?"

"Yarp!" yaps Osushi as if to say yet!

Izuku chuckles, rubbing his head shyly. "Yeah, honestly, it's a shock for us too."

Now Mina's really confused. "Well, whatever I guess." A wide grin forms on her face, delighted with the fact that the surprise guests are in fact her own friends. "Then come on in! We got cookies and tea all set to go!"

"Yarp! Yarp!" Mina let's Osushi go who instantly scurries away, leading the way to the living room.

And so they all congregate in the Ashido's living room as Eirene heads upstairs to…prepare herself before they begin.

"So…what brings you guys here?" Mina questions as she plops down on the couch beside her dad. "No offense but this is kinda an odd group here."

Izuku grins shyly from his seat, peering over at Ochaco and Thirteen who are sharing the same couch. "Well, we have a good reason."

Ochaco nods, forcing a smile as she shrinks back into the couch. "Yeah, and it actually has to do with you."

"With me?" Mina eyes them suspiciously, mainly because of their odd answers and forced smiles. "Okay, guys, what's going on here? You're all acting very strange."

In response the teens begin sweating bullets becoming more and more nervous with every passing second.

Mina frowns, becoming flustered and annoyed! "My parents said this meeting was important, and I've been dying to know why!" She looks ready to jump and shake them until they give her answers! "So come on guys! Spill! What's going on?!"

They shrink away in response.

Mr. Ashido thankfully steps in, placing a hand on his daughter's shoulder. "Don't worry, Mina, it'll all make sense soon." His gaze is soft and reassuring, but there's also a tinge of worry and concern.

Eirene's soft voice calls from the hallway. "Yes, now, we reveal everything to you~."

They all turn and watch as Eirene, without her disguise, elegantly enters the room.

Mina gasps shocked her mother would reveal how she really looks in front of others! "Mom! Your outfit! But what about your anxiety?!"

"It's quite alright~." Eirene reassures. "I am among friends and family~. I can be myself here~."

Mina sits back, blinking in confusion.

Everyone remains silent and patient as Eirene takes a seat beside her dear daughter.

As they both sit side by side Izuku and Ochaco take a moment to compare the two. Mina may have inherited her messy hair, pink skin, and dark eyes from her dad. But everything else is almost a copy and paste of her mother except for the smaller and more stable antenna, the dark eyes, and pink skin. But either way they're clearly mother and daughter.

Without a word, Eirene gently caresses Mina's hand in a loving embrace.

Mina stares at their hands and back to her Mom, her face riddled with confusion. Wondering why her Mom's acting so out of character.

Eirene's gentle smile is full of the loving tender care of a true mother as they admire their lovely child. "Mina~."

Mina straightens up, having enough sense to understand that this is serious. That her Mom must have something to get off her chest.

"I love you dearly, with all my heart~. You're truly a blessing~. You've brought me so much joy and happiness over the years~. And I will always treasure those memories~."

"Mom?" Why is she saying all this? What brought this on?

"And I hope I mean the same to you~."

"Wha?! Of course I do! You're my Mom! I'll always love you!"

A shining tear leaks down Eirene's smiling face. "Thank you~."

Mina frowns, her antenna twitching, sensing an underlying hint of trepidation from her mom. But not just her but from…everyone in that room.

Mr. Ashido pipes up. "Mina. Do you know how your mother and I met?"

Mina nods. "Yeah, you guys met in college. Mom was studying abroad, and you guys met because of a group project and hit it off.

"And where is your mother from?"

"Greece." Mina's eyebrows scrunch up. "What with these weird questions?"

"Mina, darling~."

Mina turns back towards her mother.

Eirene's frowns. "What your father is trying to get at is~..." She takes a deep breath, hesitating for just a moment, before she begins to pull back the veil. "That none of that is true~."

Mina's eyes widen for a brief second in surprise.

"Mina~. I am not from Greece and I didn't meet your father in college~." She shakes her head, her antennae slowly waving above her head. "I never even attended school~. At least not here~."

Mina's becoming increasingly worried. "What does that mean? And why make it all up? What's going on here?" Why is she saying all this? What's this all about? Why lie? Why tell her now?!

"Mina~." Eirene begins with a soft regretful sigh. "I've been keeping a secret from you~. Not just a shameful or small secret, but one that will… change your entire worldview~. Especially of me…and yourself~."

"My…self?" Mina slowly eyes her mom and the silent group, immediately taking notice of their serious and nervous expressions. "Okay, what is this?! What's this all about?! Why are they here?! And why are you guys bringing this up now?! Why even keep it a secret?!"

"Mina~." Eirene pleads. "Try to understand that…we thought it'd be for the best~. To ensure you lived a normal, human life on Earth~."

"Why are you saying it like that?!" No one talks like that, not even her Mom! "Okay so you didn't meet in college and you're not from Greece so what? What's your place of freaking birth have anything to do with anything!"

"It has to do with everything~." Eirene quiets down unsure of how to proceed. "Mina~..." She drones off again, hesitating, almost like she's considering calling this whole thing off. Too afraid to reveal the truth, the full truth, to her halfling kin. "I-"

After dragging it out for so long and dancing around the issue, Ochaco finally succumbs to the pressure of it all! And. She. SNAPS. "YOU'RE MOM'S AN ALIENS!"

The entire living room is thrown into silence as everyone stares at Ochaco for delivering one hell of a bombshell. Even Osushi looks perplexed, staring at her in disbelief for jumping the gun like she did.

It actually takes Ochaco a minute to fully process what she just did. "I'm sorry!" She slaps a hand over her mouth, but it's too late. "You guys were dancing around the issue and the tension was really getting to me! I couldn't help it!"

The group frowns as they all have the same thought. 'At least the truths out now.'

But how will Mina react?

To find out, they all slowly, and fearfully, turn their attention towards her.

Mina seems perplexed but not shocked, instead she just stares at Ochaco with a look of disbelief and disapproval. "No. Ochaco just no. I mean I joke about that stuff all the time but come on." She scoffs, but it's not at all amused. "That's not even funny. I mean aliens don't exist, they only happen in movies and stuff." Mina let's out a soft chuckle, perhaps this was all an elaborate joke or something. "I mean right?" She looks to the others for confirmation.

But she doesn't find any, as everyone averts their gaze as they refuse to respond.

Mina blinks, becoming somewhat panicked. "Guys?"

"Mina~." Eirene interrupts, her soothing voice reassuring her confused daughter. "She speaks the truth~."

"What?" Mina gasps.

Thirteen leans forward, cupping their hands together in a serious business-like manner. "Ashido. Your mother is an alien, a full-blown alien, just like the ones from the movies. She came to Earth after escaping some…unfortunate circumstances. I helped her lay low and set her up with everything she could need." Thirteen's eyes drift over towards Mr. Ashido. "But along the way she made another friend here on Earth. He was human but they got along so well. "Obviously. "And then…they had you."

Mina still isn't buying this, like at all. "You…you can stop kidding now."

"Mina." Ochaco calls. "This isn't a joke."

Izuku sits up, his expression serious and honest. "Aliens are real and they're here, in Japan."

Ochaco nods. "Actually Deku and I, we help Thirteen with them. Make sure they're safe and protected." Or at least they will one day.

"That's why we came." Izuku confirms. "We wanted you to know."

Thirteen continues. "We wanted you to know the truth."

Thirteen unpockets a small mechanical device; it's clunky and heavy looking even though it fits all a baseball in their hand. With a press of a button the portable cloaking tech activates, buzzing and humming before light rays seemingly explode out! And in a flash the entire living room looks like it's been thrown into the cosmos with stars, galaxies, and planets floating around them; a top-tier hologram for sure.

"Level 15 tech." Thirteen explains. "A state-of-the-art cloaking device. Good luck finding something like this in Japan."

Izuku and Ochaco can't help but admire the sea of stars surrounding them. Eirene and her husband smile in silent awe. And even the dog, Osushi, is enthralled with the sea of stars and planets hopping around and scampering off trying to bite the holographic lights floating in the air.

As for Mina, her eyes are wide, her jaw is dropped, with a clear expression of amazement and awe as she carefully tries to flick a little floating star away from her face.

"Mina~."

The pink halfling turns towards her alien mother.

"As a result of my love of your father~. We had you~. You are half-human and half-Emotlyst~. And it's about time that you knew~."

And with that it truly hits home for Mina, her antennae twitching as she nearly stumbles back in her seat. They're telling her the truth, the whole truth. She's not sure how exactly but she just…knows, knows that it's all true. She's…she's…half-alien.

And so they go ahead and tell her the rest. Eirene explains that Mina is a half-Emotlyst and what that means especially for her…their power of Emote. Thirteen, Izuku, and Ochaco go ahead and tell her about the Plumbers at least about what they do and why. Then of course they all join in to tell her about the technology, the knowledge, the…the…the everything! Albeit the short versions for now as to not completely overwhelm the poor girl.

Eirene and Mr. Ashido went into full detail about how they truly met. Apparently Ms. Eirene was being chased by alien goons, but Mr. Ashido saved her without knowing what they were. And as they say, the rest is history.

Mina slumps back into her seat, looking exhausted like she's been tossed around from one reality to another. "This…is a lot to take in…"

Izuku chuckles ever so lightly. "Yeah, been there."

Mina blinks, her expression serious and confused. "I mean…Plumbers? Like really? Were all the good names taken?"

Izuku's stunned! "That's the part you're hung up about?!"

"Yap! Yap!" Osushi paws at Izuku's leg although it's hard to tell if the fuzzball's comforting him or mocking him.

Mina ignores him to address her Mom. "This is so crazy but…it also makes sense."

The times she had to explain simple things to her own mom: like sushi bars, or that movies are fiction, etc. But all those times she just figured her Mom was sheltered or just so "old fashioned" that she wasn't in the know. And this Quirk-she means power, Emote, it also kinda makes sense; she always seemed so open to other people's feelings, but she just thought she was always good at reading people.

"So…" Mina looks to her classmates. "Did you two know…this whole time?"

Ochaco shakes her head. "No."

"Technically we didn't find out until we got here." Adds in Izuku.

"Yeah, I mean we knew we were speaking with Ms. Eirene's daughter but…" Ochaco glares over at their supervisor. "We were miss informed."

Thirteen shrugs. "Well technically you guys never ask who they were." A coy smile plays across their lips. "But in truth I just like messing with you kids from time to time." Although they probably won't appreciate it from this point on.

Mina frowns, curious. "Are you two…half-aliens too?"

Izuku shakes his head, waving it off. "Nope, we're full-fledged humans!"

Ochaco snickers. "Well he is, sometimes."

Mina tilts her head to the side, confused yet intrigued. "Sometimes?" And then it hits her like a freaking train! "WAIT! You mean-!"

"I'll explain later!" Izuku quickly jumps in, sweating nervously, now isn't exactly the best time to explain; one Earth shattering secret is enough for today anyway. Maybe he can properly explain his own situation tomorrow.

"But what about our class?" Mina questions with worry. "Are there others, too?"

Thirteen is quick to answer. "No, the only ones here are the only ones that know anything about this. In fact you're the only half-human, half-alien in U.A. Please understand that the knowledge of aliens existing…can't be revealed to the general public. For everyone's safety."

Mina nods, confirming that she understands.

Ochaco's eyebrows scrunch up. "But why didn't you tell us about this earlier?" She asks Thirteen.

Izuku has to agree. "She's right. Wouldn't it have been better if we at least knew sooner."

Thirteen frowns. "This is a sensitive secret guys, and a personal one at that. It wouldn't have been right for me to go around telling everyone about this. Heck, most of the alien community don't know about this either."

"But there are others?" Izuku reaffirms.

"Just those in the Plumbers." Thirteen clarifies. "And Mr. Baumann."

"Oh, makes sense."

"I'm sorry." says Ochaco looking to Eirene. "But it just occurred to me. Was there another reason why you decided to bring this up now?"

Eirene nods. "As a matter of fact, there was another reason~." She eyes the two teens. "It was because of you two~. When I heard two other children were part of the hero/Plumber program it made me reassess my own situation with Mina~. And after some time I thought it best to involve her, and with two others that know about her situation~." I could only hope that she'd be in good hands~."

Ochaco smiles, nodding in confirmation.

Mina frowns. "There's still something I don't understand." She turns to address her alien Mom. "Starting with: why? Why did you keep this all a secret from me?"

Eirene breathes, she was expecting this question to arise. "I wished to keep you and others safe~."

"Safe?"

"Our power, Emote, can be…potentially dangerous~." Catastrophically so. "We can influence others through our own emotions. As a result if we allow our emotions to become unbalanced through anger, sorrow, or fear~. We can have some dire effects on others~."

Chaos, blind rages, suicides, and so much worse can result when an Emotlysts allows their Emote to influence others while in states of distress, sorrow, and anger.

"Civilizations and entire armies have turned on each other~ .Torn each other apart and fell to despair all because an Emotlyst used Emote to influence them~. Intentionally or not~... What's worse is that those you influence such as villains would have their own emotions amplified and that may turn their attention and wrath onto you~."

In other words, Eirene feared that if Emote reacted to Mina's fear and it affected an attacking villain, said villain will lash out succumbing to their own amplified fear. And with Quirks abound there's no telling how one will react to such situations, especially a villain who has no quarrels with using their own Quirk to harm others.

"I had hoped you'd have taken after you father and not developed Emote~." Eirene frowns, ashamed of her own wishes. "But I was mistaken~. Over this last year, especially, I can sense Emote growing and developing~. And so I thought it wise to finally bring you into the loop~."

Mina frowns, finding a flaw with her Mom's plan. "If the intention was to keep me safe, why'd you allow me to even attend U.A.?"

"I was not without my trepidations of course~." Eirene confirms.

Mr. Ashido continues for his wife. "When you were accepted we asked Thirteen to personally make sure you'd be looked after and safe."

Mina gasps remembering Thirteen's own words during the U.S.J. Incident: "It wasn't…your fault." Thirteen wheezes, helmet cracked, suit corroded, and a bit blood leaking out. "I was just…doing my duty…"

That's what Thirteen said when they dove in the way of those mutant serpent's attacks. Was there more to it? Is that why Thirteen was so desperate to save her?

Mina spins around staring at Thirteen with a new sense of admiration and appreciation. "You made a promise."

The pro hero nods, offering up a kind smile. "I did."

"But still…"

Eirene takes a brief moment to organize her thoughts and how to best reassure her daughter of her questions. "My intention was never to stop you~." She admits. "My only desire for you was to live your life free and happy~. And if becoming a hero, protecting, and helping others is what makes your life worth living~." A soft gracious smile forms across the elegant woman's lips. "Then I have no need to get in the way of that~."

Mina remains silent, her heart swelling at her dear Mom's words.

"Mina~. I am truly sorry I kept this all from you~. But I hope you can understand why I did it~." She did it to protect her from the fear that this knowledge can bring with it.

"I…do understand." Mina confirms. She nods her head as she thinks about it more and more before looking into her mother's yellow eyes with nothing but love and respect. "You're my Mom, and you're always going to be my Mom." She chuckles softly. "You worry about me, because you care." And caring is the number one job of a Mom, of a parent. "You wanted to keep this a secret because you were scared for me. You did it out of love not because you didn't trust me. Sure I…I'm a bit overwhelmed and I wish you had…told me a lot sooner but…" She smiles, a smile filled with love and admiration, for her family. "I'm grateful you told me now. And…thank you."

Eirene looks like she'd be moved to tears if she was able to produce any. "You're not upset~?"

"No!" Mina nearly laughs out loud at how absurd the idea is! "You only did what you thought was best for me. It'd be unfair to be upset with you. When you did what your heart told you to do."

"Mina~." Eirene nearly jumps forward, throwing her arms around her beloved daughters' shoulder, holding her tight.

Mina's smile grows as she returns the embrace, resting her head into her Mom's shoulder as her elegantly alien hair curls around her with the sweet scent of flower petals in the spring.

Mr. Ashido wipes a few stray tears from his eyes, absolutely happy with the results, and oh so grateful Mina didn't lose any of her love and joy from this before he joins in on the hug. Even Osushi jumps up wanting in on the love, squeezing himself between Mina and Eirene's bodies.

Thirteen and Ochaco smile on as well, allowing the family to enjoy their little moment of peace.

As for Izuku…he can only watch on with a subtle frown. The moment is touching and oh so sweet but…a pang of guilt wrings his heart from within. And he's not completely sure of why.

---

The weird out of place feeling of guilt follows Izuku the rest of the way home. After clearing things up with the Ashidos they all went on their way to give the family their own time to adjust. But not before Izuku and Ochaco promised to show Mina around and explain more about the whole alien thing. But that won't be for another day or two.

Anyway Izuku arrives, throwing off his shoes as he shuts the door behind him. As he turns to put on his slippers he stops as his eyes lock onto his father's shoes sitting by the door. Slipping into his slippers he pockets his hands into his hoodie and heads for his room.

As he makes his way he passes by the living room where Hisashi is, he was watching the news, before he heard Izuku come in.

"Hey…Champ." Hisashi waves, hesitantly, hoping for a positive response. "How'd it go with the Ashidos?"

Izuku averts his gaze, the pang of guilt growing ever so steadily within him. "So, you knew then?"

"What? Of course I did." Hisashi blinks. "Wait, you didn't? My bad." He just kinda assumed he knew already.

Not wanting to talk, Izuku makes for his room.

Hisashi frowns thinking about his previous conversation with Eirene: "Break through the barrier and reach him~."

Hisashi quickly gets up from the couch. "So, hey, Izuku."

Izuku stops but he does turn to look.

"So, hey, I…I um couldn't help but notice you've been feeling kinda down lately." He rubs the back of his neck, feeling really unsure. "And well, I just wanted to offer an ear, you know. If…if you wanna talk about it."

He waits for a response but Izuku makes him wait for a moment, a brief yet agonizing moment.

Izuku considers walking away but after seeing the Ashido's own family situation he…he hesitates.

And there is one thing bothering him, or at least that's been bugging him for a while. The Exam or at least his outburst. Maybe…maybe this is a good time to bring it up. Maybe? "I…I got into a fight."

Hisashi straightens up his expression becoming serious and quizzical. "A fight? With whom."

"I…I hurt one of my…teachers."

Hisashi's heart stops.

"I…I was so mad and frustrated that…that I ended up lashing out during my Exam. And I even hurt a couple of my classmates in the process." Izuku admits with shame.

Hisashi shakes his head in disapproval, going full professional mode as he takes a more serious expression. "Izuku, you can't just attack your teachers and classmates. And during an Exam?! Come now!"

Izuku grits his teeth, becoming mighty annoyed. "It was part of the Exam, okay. And yeah I went overboard but I'm already feeling terrible about it."

"Feeling bad is one thing. But what did the school say?" And why didn't Nezu or Thirteen say anything about this?!

"Mr. Aizawa said I could tell you guys myself, and I am!" Izuku declares, offended. "I already served detention and yeah I have to go in for some kind of counseling later. But the school isn't upset, at least not with me."

"And why not?" There's a hint of suspicion in Hisashi's voice.

"Because…" Izuku becomes hesitant, but he's already said so much it'll seem worse if he doesn't say anything. "Because I was angry!" Izuku shouts.

"Then why were you angry?!"

"Because you both turned your back on me!"

And like that it feels like someone dropped a bomb atop the Midoriya household.

Hisashi's own heart goes ice cold, as the piercing truth leaves a brutal sting. "Wh…what…?"

From the kitchen Inko rushes into the living room, all panicked when she heard the shouting. But she comes to halt when she sees Izuku's frustrated face.

Izuku glares up at his father, not noticing her. "I was so angry because…because you both looked down on me!" Izuku's shaking but he's holding himself back, he needs to say this, he needs to put this out in the open. "You left me. He left me. All alone and all because I didn't have a Quirk!" Izuku snaps. "Okay yes I get it, both of you had your reasons! Good ones even! But…but it still hurt! And then when…when you came back I was just…I am so confused! And angry!"

Hisashi steps back, as if he was shoved away. Inko cups her mouth becoming increasingly scared and worried.

"I wanna be happy that you're back! But I'm not…" Izuku shakes his head. "I'm upset about it! It was like you were invading my life: my home, my school, everything!" Hisashi's involved with all of it, even with the Plumber stuff! There's just no…no escaping him! "And it'll all just boiled over during the fight! So, I lashed out, and…and people got hurt… I was angry and that's on me but…" He looks Hisashi right in the eye. "I was angry because of you."

Hisashi looks like a wounded dog, Izuku's words doing more damage to him than even a SMASH from All Might.

His gaze is filled with a longing mixed with horrible fear and regret. "Izuku…please…just give me a chance…"

Izuku spits. "Why should I?" Before anymore could be said Izuku spins around and rushes for his room where he locks himself in.

"Izuku!" Inko chases after him, tears in her eyes.

Hisashi, left all alone in his own home, stumbles back, collapsing onto a chair in utter defeat. He looks like he wants to cry but with a sniff he nods his head as if…as if he's accepting it. A part of him was afraid that…Izuku wouldn't ever see him as his dad. And that fear ended up being correct, and it hurts to accept that as the truth. But it is.

Perhaps there's nothing he can do to truly turn things around. Not anymore anyway…

---

Izuku slams the door! Before he pressed his back against it and lets out one long breath. He feels somewhat light now, like he's relieved to have finally gotten all his feelings out in the open and off his shoulders. But on the other hand he still can't help but be angry. Hisashi was gone for a decade, A DECADE! And he comes back and acts like, hey, it'll all be like old times! But Izuku can't even remember the "old times." And hey when he does get back he wants to act like a veteran dad who's been through it all, heck, he was even trying to scold Izuku like a parent should when their kid's messed up. But guess what?! Hisashi's the last person to lecture him about responsibility! What about the responsibility to them, his family, huh?! No, the job was more important!

Izuku can almost bet that a part, even a small part of Hisashi left them just to get away. To get away from the truth, that his son didn't have a Quirk!

Give him a chance, he said. Huh?

Izuku shakes his head, taking a breath, calming himself down, before he scans his room, his very empty room.

The walls bare, the room colorless, and the shades drawn allowing for dark shadows to loom. Annoyed and already in a depressed state of mind, Izuku walks over and pulls the blinds open.

"Ahh!" He backs away, wincing as the bright sun shines in and blinds him.

Izuku hisses and rubs at his eyes as he steps away from the window, blinking away the blindness.

When he finally regains his vision, he happens to be turned towards his closet. The door was left open and the piles of clothes and merch that used to be in there are now gone making the closet look emptier than it really is. And as such, the sun has nothing to stop it from shining down on a little shoebox that's tucked away in the back of the closet.

Izuku frowns, his heart gripped with a surge of guilt as he eyes the box. That box, it was meant to remain hidden, hidden away, and forgotten about, it should have never seen the light of day. But with everything stripped away, there's nothing to hide it anymore, nothing to distract Izuku from it and its contents.

In his mind, Izuku replays Hisashi's previous wish: "Izuku…please…just give me a chance…"

Izuku frowns, the guilt leading him by the hand towards the little box. He gets down to his knees, he hesitantly reaches for the box before slowly pulling it out. He stops a few times, considering to push it back and forget about it, but the guilt forces him to remain steady. And so he pulls out the box and with a shaky, nervous, inhale he opens it.

Inside the box is a treasure trove of letters, all of them addressed to him, all of them unopened and, and all of them from the same person: Hisashi Midoriya.

These letters were a constant growing up, arriving once a month throughout the entire year ever since Hisashi was forced away. But not one, not once, did Izuku ever bother to read them.

But why? Because…because he was scared or angry or betrayed…. Afraid to see what he'll read: that Hisashi really does hate him. Or maybe he's just so petty and angry so he didn't read them out of spike. Or maybe…maybe he wanted to pretend there was nothing wrong, that his father never left, that he simply didn't exist….

"Izuku…please…just give me a chance…"

He never gave him a chance…?

Izuku slowly reaches in and fearfully pulls out one letter, it was the last real letter he ever got from Hisashi.

Izuku takes the letter back towards his bed and sits down, he carefully opens the envelope like something's going to pop out and attack him, but nothing like that occurs. Instead he finds three pages worth of letters inside. And so with a heavy heart Izuku goes ahead and reads, for the first time ever, a letter from his father.

It reads:

Hey Izuku,

How're you holding up buddy? How's school going? You know high school's going to be coming up real soon, are there any schools that have caught your interest? You know I used to attend U.A. back in the day. I bet you'd be a great shoe-in for the Support Course, your grades are top notch.

Izuku frowns, he almost wants to roll his eyes. Figures that Hisashi would try to act like nothing's wrong, even in his letters.

Things for me have been pretty tough as of late. My boss has really been on my case, working me like a dog, but in all fairness the job itself has kinda taken some bad turns here and there. I'd like to tell you more, but you know how the Self-Defense Force is. Everything's "classified" and all that.

Izuku does roll his eyes, by Self-Defense Force, Hisashi is actually saying the Plumbers. But either way he continues on reading.

I can sort-of mention this, at least partly. And it's really cool. I stopped a potential war between two nations. The two sides were some really…colorful characters (specifically red and blue). And admittedly they were fighting for a really stupid reason. But I fixed it… Although now they hate me so…not a total win. But hey no war!

Oh, while traveling on a ship we were attacked by pirates! I know right? Cool? Yeah, not really. There were so many of them we had to fight off. And the captain, oh the captain, I mentioned him before I think. Hondo, now he's somehow both such a fun guy and a scumbag all at once. Seriously he is so self-centered, avaricious, and cruel but with an air of friendliness and comradery! I honestly don't know if he's a friend or an enemy… He's aided me so many times but also backstabbed just as much! He also got away. God dammit, if I see him again it'll be too soon! Wait, sorry, I had to rant.

What else? Oh, and I took that new recruit I've been traveling with and dropped him off at the academy. You know, the recruit I scouted and mentioned in my last letter. He's a good kid, a bit too straight forward but he's honest. I think you'd get along real well with him. Perhaps I can introduce you two someday.

Anyway I really hope you're hanging in there alright without me. I know I've been away for…a while but I'm hoping to be home soon. Maybe even within a year, but…we'll see.

Izuku sighs, he's not sure why, but he almost felt like this would hold the answers. That this letter would reveal some hidden truth about his father, about how he really feels. But it's just Hisashi bragging about his own adventures while acting like nothing's wrong or that being away is no big deal. He almost wants to toss the letter aside and give it a rest but…his heart compels him to finish reading.

And I really hope, I pray, I can return to you and your mother soon. I want to hold you both in my arms and hear about everything I've missed. I want to be back, I want to be home, I want to see your smiling faces.

But…I'm also afraid for when that day will come.

Izuku's heart skips a beat, his eyes widening as the lock onto those words. 'Afraid…?'

Yes, Izuku. I'm scared. I'm scared of how…you'll see me. How you will react when I finally come back. Will you be happy? Overjoyed? Thrilled?

No you'd probably be…upset. Scared. And…angry with me. And I'm afraid of that… I'm afraid you don't want me to come back.

I mean you don't even read my letters. Not once have you ever written back and so I can only assume you don't even want to speak to me. Sad to say, but I wouldn't be that surprised if each and every one of my letters just…just ends up in the trash as soon as they arrive. So then why do I keep writing to you…well I guess…a part of me really hopes you…you do read them. That you still want me in your life…

But. I've been gone for so long and left when we were given the news, I wouldn't blame you for…for hating me. The truth of the matter is…I did leave. Was it because of work, yes, but…I still chose to leave you and your mother behind. And I hope you will one day understand why I did it. I did it to project you, our family, our neighbors, and our friends from some truly terrible evils in the world. But I had to sacrifice my time with you in order to do my part in keeping you safe. And believe me there have been times so many times where I wanted to abandon it all and come back to you. When I was held up by enemies, stranded in the middle of nowhere, when everything seemed at their worst…the only thing that kept me going was the thought of seeing my family again. And it got me through every single time. Knowing that what I am doing is for them is what drove me to step forward time and time again.

So if you're angry with me, if you don't want to talk to me, even if you hate me. That is fine. I understand. Even if I didn't mean to. I hurt you, I walked away and left you feeling alone and abandoned. You probably feel like I left because you're Quirkless. Please, Izuku, please, that isn't the truth. Not at all, I could care less whether you have a Quirk or not! I just want you to be my Izuku, my son! Please believe me that not a moment went by where I held nothing but love for you. Every time your mother wrote to me she'd tell me all about what "Izuku did today" and it'd be the highlight of every letter.

Knowing that you are safe and happy is all that I needed. I don't need anything else. I won't push you to accept me, to love me even. All I need is for you to live your life to the fullest, with or without me. If that's the case… I hope…I wish we will be able to come together, to patch things together one day. And I wish that one day we can really be a family again. It might not be right away but…I hope you will give me a chance, Izuku. And I hope that I can have the chance…to see the kind of person you will…did become.

Take care of yourself and go live your life with smiles and cheer, Champ.

I will love you always.

You're Old Man,

Hisashi Midoriya

Tears, a few stray tears land beside the signature and right beside a patch of old dried up tears that have wrinkled the paper.

---

"Hisashi…" Inko hovers over her husband who's slumped over in his chair in utter despair.

"It's okay…this…this isn't a surprise." Hisashi admits with a pained cough. "I knew, I knew it would go like this. I guess I was just too hopeful." He nods his head shakily, still processing it all in. "But if my presence is enough to set him off then…maybe I should at least stay in another apartment."

Inko frowns, that's the last thing she wants. They've just gotten back together; this is the first time in years the whole family's been under one roof. But…is it really going to end before they can even truly begin?

Hisashi rests a hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her. "I'm sorry but…this isn't good for Izuku's emotional health." The anger, the pain, the regret it's only going to eat him from the inside out. "It's for the best, I think. He…he can't stand me anyway…"

A choked sob meets their ears. "I'm…I'm sorry."

Hisashi and Inko spin around to find their son at the foot of the living room, his eyes red and puffy with streaks of dried up tears under his eyes as he clutches a three-page letter in his hand.

Inko frowns worriedly. "Izuku…?"

"I'm sorry." He repeats as a bit of tears form out of the corners of his eyes, "I…I never really gave you a chance."

Hisashi gets up from his seat a tiny spark of hope begins to flicker inside of him.

"For so long I assumed…the worst. I thought you left because of me and that hurt." Izuku takes a shaky, choked breath before he continues. "And so…it was easy for me to blame you, to say that you left on your own, for yourself." He shakily holds up the letter, the letter he finally sat down and read. "But…I was wrong so wrong."

Hisashi tightens his lips holding back his own tears as he eyes the letter in Izuku's hand with hope.

Izuku sobs, wiping away at his eyes in a desperate attempt to hold off his grief. "I was unfair to you." He admits with a regretful sob. "You weren't part of my life for ten years… But it never occurred to me that I wasn't part of your life for ten years, too."

So, what was Hisashi feeling during that time? If Izuku was hurt and felt abandoned then how…how much guilt and loneliness was Hisashi dealing with at the same time?

"I've always had Mom on my side, but you…you were truly alone. Forced away with the hope that you might see us one day." And the hope that his own family might be happy to see him. "And here I am acting like I'm the only victim. Acting like your feelings don't matter!" Izuku snaps allow the tears to stream down as he desperately claws at his eyes as if he could hold them back. "I've been so unfair! And it's not right! I-I should have given you a chance! I'm-I'm sorry!"

Hisashi trembles, his own guilt and regret spilling over as he tries to keep himself composed. "Izuku…I'm sorry too."

Through the tears Izuku is able to hold back enough to look up towards his father.

"I…could have handled my return a lot better." Hisashi admits with a little nod. "And looking back on it, I see now how my presence was able to upset you like it did." Like seriously there were so many signs. "And what's worse is that I still haven't really acted like a proper dad." Not really anyway, he may tell people he's Izuku's dad, but not once has he really shown or put that into practice. "I may try to reach out to you, but I also give in too soon. Afraid that I'm already stepping over bounds I shouldn't be, because…because I am out of place here." And it still feels like he's a stranger in his own home, that's because he is. "So don't go blaming yourself for how you felt, alright? I'm still the one to blame, not you."

As he says this he recalls some recent events specifically when he and Inko went to the police station to pick up Izuku after the mall encounter. Rather than letting Izuku know that he is happy and relieved that he was fine, Hisashi instead went right into hero mode and demanded answers and the status of the investigation. He unknowingly prioritized his work over his son.

"I'm a flawed human. After finally coming back home I'm still prioritizing my work over you guys. Even if I don't mean too." A sad but ultimate truth. "I can make the excuse that I'm still adjusting but…I need to put more of an effort to be here, with you." With Izuku and Inko, his family. "And I promise, I will do right by you. I've failed you for far too long and I need, I need to set it all right. I need to do better by you both." He looks Izuku right in the eye, blinking away the tears that're smearing his vision. "I promise I'll always be there from now on. No matter what I will prioritize my family from here on out." Hisashi shrinks back a bit, his shoulders slumping as his gaze falls in melancholy. "That is…if you want me to be a part of it…?"

With tears Izuku shakily nods his head and shouts! "Yes! Yes, please, stay!" Without warning, like his own sorrow pulling him on a string, Izuku launches himself forward and grabs Hisashi by his waist and squeezes him so tightly, like he's afraid that if he let's go he'll disappear again. "Dad, please…stay."

Tears leak down Hisashi's face, because for the first time, the first time in over a decade…Izuku called him…Dad. "Izuku…thank you."

Hisashi returns the embrace, holding Izuku tight with as much love and joy as he can express. They both let the tears go, allowing their regrets and sorrow to wash away as they finally reunite.

Inko is in tears as well, a joyful smile painted across her lips as she takes in the beautiful sight before her. Finally, finally after so long they can truly begin to be a family once again.

---

As one reunion ends with joy another begins with trepidation and foreboding.

Psyphon enters the ship's command bridge, where his master lies in wait inside his recovery pod.

The master's body is nearly complete, every day he grows stronger and stronger, and with it more menacing then he ever was before.

"Psyphon." His master calls. "What news have you brought?"

"My master." Psyphon bows. "I've located the human organization known as the League of Villains as you've requested."

"Have they given in to my demands?"

"No, my lord."

Bubbles erupt around his master's maw, as his deadly glare drills daggers into Psyphon's skull.

Psyphon flinches, backing away like a mouse before a dangerous predator. "I-I'm afraid, the humans are far too…stubborn and willful to submit. Their leader, Sensei, has quite the…influence over his subjects. Much like you do."

"Is that so?" The commander questions with a hint of intrigue.

"Yes!" Psyphon nods his head, smiling. "But as I said, humans are stubborn, him especially. I tried my best to negotiate but he demanded to speak only to you."

The commander's glare narrows.

Psyphon flinches in response, grimacing.

"Very well." Says the commander. "Contact this…Sensei and tell him that I will agree to meet with him." The commander ponders and begins to chuckle to himself in a haunting manner. "Allow him to set the conditions for our meeting: he may choose the time and location of our meeting."

Psyphon frowns, confused. "My lord. Is it wise to allow the humans such an opportunity? They could so easily betray you if they are allowed to set the terms."

"It matters not what the humans do. They cannot match my power." Without warning the glass of the healing pod breaks, it begins to crack until gallons of liquid crash through, flooding the floor of the command center. From inside the obliterated healing pod, a towering mass marches forward for the first time since their immobilization, moving forward with purpose, drive, and an air of death airing around their aura.

His metallic armor slick with liquid, metal-cylinders piercing into his flesh spark and flex with his contorting hulking-muscles. The enhancements playing their part to explode his strength and might.

"Like all beings in this universe,"

Psyphon stares up at awe at the titan before him.

"They will all fall to the conquer that is…" The tentacled commander looms over his servant, grinning from underneath his breathing apparatus like a lion overriding a helpless fawn. "Vilgax."

---

That's right, Vilgax is officially healed up and bader than ever. Although much like Thanos, he's going to sit on his chair and let his underlings deal with his problems. For now at least.

I really hope you guys liked this chapter. I've been planning it for a long time now since literally Ch.1 of the story: from Mina's alien origin, to the box of letters, and the Midoriya family coming together again. I really hope it paid off well.

*Yes guys Mina was in fact a half-alien the whole time. Hence why her antennae twitched around from time to time during high emotional moments. That was a hint. Now are Emotlysts a reference to anything? No. I made this species of alien up a while back, although the idea was inspired by Mantis from Guardians of the Galaxy. SO if you're confused on how Mina's Emote power works it will work just like Mantis'. And I will be exploring Emote more next time anyway.

I will admit that after people guessed she was half-Kraaho… I was kinda kicking myself for not thinking of that first. But at that point I had already fell in love with this idea and already hinted to it that it was kinda too late to go back on it. So sorry to those that felt led on but in all fairness that was not my intention at all. Either way I hope it worked out.

*Just to be clear we have one more chapter to get through. The next chapter will delve into showing Mina more about the Plumbers and aliens of Japan. It should be fun. AND the chapter will officially reveal what my original arc is going to truly be about. So please hang in there and all will be revealed.

Seriously I think you guys, and I mean a lot of you guys, will absolutely love what I have in store for you next time. Like I think some of you will be so overjoyed for…whom I got in store for you ◕‿↼

*There were so many Easter Eggs and Cameos in this chapter. And to be honest most of them were last minute add-ins. I wanna say there are about 11 or so Easter eggs/cameos in this chapter alone. Some are Ben Ten related while others are references to other animes, franchises, and series. So good luck to anyone that can figure them all out.

*I've been told that I should probably announce this; this story has a TV Tropes page so feel free to check it out. It contains all sorts of fun facts and insight into this story. And I wanna say thank you to all those that have taken the time to set it up and work on it, it truly is an honor.

Responses for "Guest" reviewers from Ch.45:

Guest: You better not let midoriya failure in provisional hero licensing exam and when he pass will he go to gang orca again he does have great track record and I want to see him with gang orca and his sidekick because it make me laugh when he is his internship

CreateGunner1209: Relax that was never my plan sheesh, but no Izuku will be with a different hero afterwards, sorry to say

---

Shark: Flawless chapter as always, I especially like the development of All Might, Izuku and Uraraka. Feels organic and flows well. Can't wait for the next chapter

CreateGunner1209: Thanks I'm trying my best so I guess it was working

---

Guest: Ok so I can no longer do this story...chapter by chapter that is I'm gonna wait a bit allowing the chapters to add up then binge if I time this right you'll be through the original arc and maybe I-Island.

Moving on I read through your review answers just now and I swear if you introduce RVB as a plumber squad or members of the academy or in any fashion I will love you forever.

Also the dragon ball abridged...would you consider giving ochako a similar relationship with one of or all the previous holders as piccolo and nail

"Hey Ochoa can we talk"

"I'm meditating Banjo"

"No your napping I know the difference"

CreateGunner1209: I look forward to your return and I love the line and I want to use it!

Atom king: Well this chapter was awesome with the league of villains meeting with charmcaster toga and dabi giving what we about dabi later can't wait to see you have planned for him.

Now back at the school Eraserhead is planning for summer camp with Nezu, I like Nezu quick thinking when Eraserhead mentioned that he couldn't turn off heatblast powers still can't wait for Eraserhead find out the truth about everything.

At mall Izuku and Ochaco and the rest of their classmates are shopping for the summer I like the mentioned to Izuku and Ochaco first adventure together fighting animo and his mutant pets with the pet shop closed still it looks like it play out exactly like in the main story only with Ochaco in Izuku place when taking with Shigaraki I do like Izuku rushing in as big chill to save Ochaco still it looks like there some animosity between the two I guess Shigaraki still remember Izuku from last they met, still can't wait for the fight between the two.

Now afterwards Izuku and Ochaco call the police and inform them about Shigaraki and plus the detective Tsukauchi has finally met Hisashi with a surprise look on why he wasn't about his return home with most his file being classified can't wait for tsukauchi reaction towards the truth about Hisashi activities as a plumber.

Now the final part of the chapter with Psyphon showing up in the villains hideout with a vilgax drone next to him can't wait for the next chapter with psyphon setting up a meeting with Vilgax and the villains, what kind of deal will they make to get what they want from each other?

I just can't wait for the next chapter I'm really excited for it, keep up the good work.

CreateGunner1209: I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter sooooo much! I really hope this latest chapter was a good follow up and if not the next chapter will for sure make up for it, promise. Although it will be a few chapters before we see the results of the negotiations.

---

Masterchief5555: Great chapter! I hope Hizashi snaps later and fight Deku for his coldness; All might failed him, Bakugou bullied him, Nue tried to use him and yet he can't forgive his father for doing his job (Hizashi sends letters) even when he lets Izuku insults him (Deku suggests Cinder had cheated on Inko when he comes back); until our hero stops being a brat, I will hate him

CreateGunner1209: Well I hope this chapter was able to fix it or at least allow for things to calm down between them.

---

Guest: Who is Deku's favorite Alien? I'm guessing Big Chill or Four Arms

CreateGunner1209: I'd say Dimaondhead at least at this point in the story.

---

AcceptableGhost: I can't wait for Vilgax and LOV interactions. Also, I can't wait to see Vilgax's reaction to Nue. And the reactions of the villains when they learn about Aliens.

CreateGunner1209: Neither can I. Neither can I

---

Guest: This chapter was very good I liked how nue and shigiraki reacted to the new members of The league I thought it was very good to have uraraka for shigirakis captive and I loved how eraser is questioning isuku's transformations I liked izuku's reaction to his father when he's getting out of the police station and I thought the ending was awesome to have siphon neutralize the entire league love your stuff can't wait for the next one

CreateGunner1209: Thanks, I hope this chapter was a good follow up.

---

DeadCool14: Thank you so much for taking the time to actually see the links, they're really good I know you'll like them. I'd be really stoked if you decided to add Akina as she works off Bakugou really well and she could also help foreshadow Zed, if you decide to give her to Bakugou instead of Henzu that is. Oh and two more reason to add her: Her ship name with Bakugou is Bazuka and her English voice is Sasha from Attack on Titan, who is very close with Connie, who is voiced by Bakugou's English VA.

If you do an Outbreak chapter then is The Tower of Babel gonna make a reappearance with the weaknesses of Deku's aliens in it?

When Big Chill gets pregnant how will Deku react? Will he act more feminine and experience the symptoms of pregnancy? Like morning sickness, mood swings, being more emotional and the food cravings? Which would kinda make sense since males also have an X chromosome.

Is Thirteen like Deku in which she wears her yellow shoes all the time even when she's not in costume? On that note, will Albedo have green shoes?

Do you have a name for the arc?

Did Izuku and Todoroki meet when they were babies? Like they had play dates and stuff? And what was the relationship between Inko and Rei? Were they good friends?

Is Deku gonna get the Alien Force jacket if the hoodie becomes part of his costume?

Will Deku have more support items for when they Omnitrix is timed out? Like a grappling hook and maybe those gizmos Kangaroo Kommando used in The Vengers to make him jump high. He could've even gotten the idea from him; he could've been an old hero with a jumping quirk that used that support item to make him jump higher. Just to reference him since he was a super hero in canon and it would be fitting that he'd appear in some form in this universe.

Are you gonna give a reason why Feedback is always smiling? Because I've always wondered about that; is it because of All Might in this universe?

Also I was wrong about Way Big's height, the 90 feet thing was from a fan wiki, I had an odd feeling about it and when I checked I found out it was made up. Way Big is canonically 120 feet (36.576 meters) tall which I doubt could work on the story, just telling you so you can figure it out better.

Is Chromastone gonna be related to Petropia and the Omnitrix's second main function besides wanting to bring peace and understanding to aliens?

Are Deku and Uraraka gonna call themselves Alien Force?

Is Kota gonna be this universe's Jimmy Jones? I mainly want that because of that scene from Ultimate Alien that showed that Jimmy plays games online a Forever Knight XD

Articguana's name is actually written Arctiguana.

When Deku gets Chamalien will everyone think he's saying chameleon to cover it?

Will Gravattack be named by Ochako? And his name could be one of her hero name ideas before she settled on Uravity.

When you introduce Fasttrack can he please look different? Because his original design sucked, it was just so basic and lame and it did not look at all like a cat. .es/20180427/ysw/kisspng-ben-10-omniverse-deviantart-drawing-5ae30fee9bb530. . img.

These three designs mixed together is what he should look like. Also if you didn't know the fur on his legs and elbows are actually spikes. Oh and I thought of a different approach to his powers to make him different from XLR8. Instead of just being fast physically, his brain would be what's going fast. He could stimulate his brain, speeding up his perception and thoughts relative to anything else, allowing him to move faster than everyone else and experience things in slow motion. And he would generate electricity from his body and leave a streak of it when he runs, the electricity is actually static that comes from his fur because he's moving so fast. That is both a reference to The Flash and something else MHA related, can you guess what it is?

wiki/Ball_Weevil_Species

wiki/Atrocian

Look at the trivia for these two, they expand on Ball Weevil and The Worst's species which are apparently tied, it's very interesting.

Sorry, I got it mixed up, I meant Sheelane, Mr Baumann's alien fish girlfriend.

Are you gonna make a Green Needle reference when Brainstorm appears?

Will Mirio and Big Chill be able to touch each other if they're both intangible? And I'm sure I don't even need to ask but still, will Mirio like Deku's puns and alien names?

When you do your multiverse spin off can you have a cameo of Ben 10 Franklin from that MAD sketch?

Are you gonna have Uraraka do her Kansai accent at some point? It's basically the Japanese version of a southern accent. She usually speaks it when she's with her family.

Could the Omnitrix be able to scan samples from everyone with a quirk since they're all genetically different? And since the Omnitrix can also repair genetic damage, could it restore someone's quirk if it was stolen by All For One?

Are you keep Kota's and Mandalay's relationship the same as in the anime? By that I mean that in the anime they're cousins once removed while in the manga they're aunt and nephew, specifically one of Kota's parents was her sibling. Just asking because I like the second one. And speaking of her and things said in recent chapters, were the Pussycats U.A. students?

Do aliens know about Celestialsapiens? Like they don't know if they're real but there are like billions of stories and rumors about them. And just throwing this out there in case you don't know: Alien X willingly gave up his DNA to Azmuth so he could put it in the Omnitrix. And speaking of him, I got an interesting idea for Alien X and where he could get his name from.

At some point, maybe between arcs off screen, Izuku would unlock Alien X but would not be able to use him, if he selected him and slammed down the face plate nothing would happen, he would try looking him up in the Plumbers database but would find nothing and when he asked his dad, Thirteen, Nezu and One-One none of them would know anything about him, but Hisashi did keep to himself that the figure seemed familiar but he can't remember how. So Deku would decide to name him Alien X since "X" is an unknown variable, which references how Alien X's appearance and powers were kept secret until his debut in canon. And when the right time comes to use him the Omnitrix would pop up on its own, it would already have him selected and it wouldn't let Deku select another alien. This could be caused by either Paradox, Starbeard or maybe even Alien X himself, like Bellicus and Serena would know it's the time to allow Deku to use Alien X and after he transforms Alien X would be unlocked to use whenever he wants but he would choose not to so because of the complications that come with that, not just because of the pain of dealing with Bellicus and Serena but also because he believes no one, not even him, should have that kind of power. And to make sure he wouldn't mistransform into Alien X he would use Grey Matter to lock Alien X out of the transformation playlist, but realizing how big of an asset he is he then used Grey Matter, Jury Rigg and Upgrade to make four keys to unlock him as an ultimate last resort. Each key would contain part of the code that would allow Celestialsapien DNA to be unlocked he would give one key to Uraraka, one to Bakugou, one to Todoroki and one to himself and if needed to use him he would just need to insert the keys which would merge with the Omnitrix and unlock Alien X.

How far are you in the manga? So I can know what questions to ask without spoiling you.

CreateGunner1209: I'll try my best to answer your questions. Although I am not comfortable with answering about half of them because honestly you just need to wait for when we get to those points. This is a What If story so the real tools I have are the small twists and surprises I can give the readers so please understand.

Izuku will act more motherly during the Big Chill chapter. But honestly it's going to be a full on filler chapter anyway. And I'm not really looking forward to it.

And yes Thirteen always wears those yellow shoes.

I do have a name for the arc and it will be revealed next time.

No, Izuku and Todoroki never met until highschool. As for Inko and Rei, they met but nothing past acquaintances.

Izuku has a hoodie already.

Izuku already has support gear: hoverboard and a shield. Remember?

I don't know what you mean about Feedback smiling. When I write I think about context so if Feedback's smiling that's probably because he's enjoying himself.

Alien Force…hm I'll think about it.

Kota is not, but I am considering doing a version of Jimmy Jones like I did with Kevin (Henzu).

And as for Fasttrack, it's up to you how you wanna picture them. I keep all the Omnitrix alien descriptions vague so you (the reader) can envision the version that you prefer. Although I have been considering making his powers more like that of the Flash but I'm not sure how well that would be received.

Green Needle?

Ben 10 Franklin? Oh, um, probably not.

Um, I wouldn't know how to write her Kansai accent. Am I supposed to say a sentence and edd with "(Kansai)" as if to say that's her accent? If you want her to have it just imagine she does.

Kota and Manadaly have the same relationship, although I don't really see why that matters anyway. And yes I always assumed the Pussy Cats were from U.A.

Um, IDK did the all the alien in Ben Ten know about them? And also Azimuth had a means of gaining DNA, he didn't ask permission from the aliens. Also Alien X is like end of the story material so I wouldn't expect anything related to him for a looooooooong while

Also I keep up with the manga but in truth I wouldn't bother asking me about it especially in relation to the story. Because I won't have any answers for you and I may have gone full AU before the current place in the manga anyway.

---

Guest: My oh my seems like the party about to begin. Sirigaki is now gonna join the frey alongside the villains league on people who knows about the omnitrix. Aizawa accepting the idea maybe short but I figured the excuse is not gonna last long as blunt as he is Aizawa is smart he will come back to question Izuku sooner or later about one man army. Hisashi looks like you time as a plumber is biting him in the bum as he is now on police radar.

CreateGunner1209: Everything will playout in due time, not to worry (╹◡◠)

---

Guest: No me acordaba que el dragón era un alien es que no e visto alien forcé en un tiempo y en YouTube no está así que grasias por recordarme lo oye y dime el omitrix aumentará su tiempo de transformación que tal 20 minutos y tarde 2.30 minutos en recarga y izuku aprenda como cambiar de alien estando ya transformado y aparesera últimos me preguntó cómo reasionara izuku y Ochaco al saber que ay herues alienígenas que son como ellos cuado apareseran armodrilo NRG y anfibio los otros alien de andrómeda izuku escaneara a esos aliens que vinieron ala tierra o se desbloquearan automática mente en el reloj.

Y imagino que hisashi será quien tenga que explicar ala humanidad sobre los aliens verdad jeje ya me puedo imajinar a inko yorando por la revelación de su esposo y su hijo y que ay algo más peligrosos de lo que un herue normal se tendría que enfrentar por sierto existirá la dimensión del proyector y así ay mandaran a Vilgax y cuando hisashi cuente su historia también contará como se enfrentó a Vilgax en el pasado podrías poner una situación divertida dónde izuku y Ochaco por acidente se besan como es un cliché en los animes aveses porsierto estoy seguro que con la tecnología alien podrían curar a all maigt de su estado y dejarlo como nuevo y también dar poderes artificiales con tecnología alien y izuku desbloqueara accidentalmente el control maestro como lo iso Ben en la serie

CreateGunner1209: Yes the Omnitrix will get an upgrade okay I get it. Please have some patience it won't be for a while.

---

Guest: RATH: LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING CLASS 1A TSUYU ASUI WHO QUIRK IS FROG LIKE RATH DOES NOT LIKE YOU ALWAYS CALL RATH TRANSFORMATIONS NAMES STUPID RATH WILL DETROY YOU

CreateGunner1209: I think Rath needs some catnip

---

Guest: He should have got jet ray instead of stinkfly jetray is way more faster then all might betray can fly into space in seconds cause we all know that the omnitrix is way more powerful than one for all

CreateGunner1209: Relax, all aliens were planned out to appear in a certain order for a multitude of reasons. Besides Jetray's set to appear in the future

---

DeadCool14 (again): Oh man things are heating up! I'm so excited! I can't wait! Also 50th chapter, congrats!

CreateGunner1209: Thanks but I kinda consider it Ch.45 since I don't count the announcement and Omakis. But thank you for the sentiment.

---

Guest: The transformation he should get next our rath, brainstorm,upgrade,ghost freak so he can scared his classmates with it like wildmutt that was funny by the way, ball wevil and wild vine shinso won't expect brain control won't work on this alien

CreateGunner1209: Just wait and see I have every single alien planned out to appear not to worry.

---

Guest: Also Wildmutt can either shoot his Quills as sharp projectiles or as protection while rolling, are you gonna show this ability?

CreateGunner1209: I didn't remember that. When did he do that?

---

Frogger: Would Tsuyu find Bullfrag attractive? And would she hate that attraction because of all the frog and toad puns he's bound to make?

CreateGunner1209: I think it would be the other way around at least for a moment, like how Ben as Bullfrag reacted to Attea. And yeah she'd probably hate it

---

Paradox: Ooooph! That was an intense chapter. I like how you had ochako targeted by shigaraki, felt appropriate for how izuku's been mentally. I am seriously looking forward to the original chapters. I have a bit of a fun question. No spoilers required but what are the top five aliens YOU are looking forward to introducing into the story?

CreateGunner1209: Chromastone, Ghostfreak, Humongasaour, Frankenstrike, and Brainstorm. These are not in any order but I have a lot of fun and cool ideas for them. And of course every Ben Ten alien is fully set to be introduced at some point.

---

MLK101: Pretty sweet Fan Fic so far my man.

I will say I do agree with the idea that giving some debuffs to the aliens in order to avoid power fantasy is helpful to make truly interesting characters and make the world more important without relying on Deku's power.

However, knowing the kind of villains and creatures out side of earth that Ben (or this case Deku) will face seem like keeping the original power scaling more appropriate. (Yes, I know you didn't mean to do that. But maybe have moments where deku is definitely outside the norm of Human quirk levels)

Plus the ideas this presents can help bring more complexity for Deku alongside his resentment & anger.

The burden of power, what would Deku do if he had Waybig, graviton, Atomix, NRG, The ultimate function.

I'm not saying in winning every single battle, but the idea of being able to defeat The symbol of peace, Surpass All for one and topple villains with a single alien form. (Not actually battle, just thoughts for his over thinking and how dangerous the Omitrix really is)

What kind of pressure would that bring? How would the world react that one of its heroes can destroy the whole country with a single press of a button? And the relationships ether made or broken, for example.

Ochako and Class-A questioning if they are even helpful to Deku when he essentially has all their powers in better quality.

Endeavour inheriting the Number 1 title when he knows there is a kid who can burn HIM! Alongside his father being a galactic Wide Hero! Almost seems a worthless title compared to the universe. The sacrifices made are all the more horrific to what hisashi accomplished.

I don't know, just giving ideas to show that the Omnitrix should live up to its title as 'The Most Powerful Device in the universe'.

Not as a show of dominance, but to bring us relief that It found deku and it will follow its main function of bringing peace and protection across not only earth but the universe.

As such acts committed by Deku and his near limitless powers inspires others to follow such examples. Like Todorki, Shiso and Ochako. All three have some grand power compared to most quirks, but thanks to Deku they can do good as best they can with Class-A following right behind.

Not as Deku's Lackey's, but as partners/friends to push him forward when he doubts himself, ground him when tempted with the likes of Alien X and always be there to save him when his powers fail.

So really, it wouldn't just focus on Deku having Godlike power, it is instead about how Deku focussed that power into becoming the Universe's greatest hero thanks to his friends, Family and later down the line, Azmuth & paradox (If you include them).

Anyway, thanks for listening to my Tedtalk.

Just spewing ideas how to make a good story even with a main character possessing tremendous power.

CreateGunner1209: So as for the whole supposed "power scale thing" I never really gave ti too much thought to be honest I just wanted to write a fun story. And as for the whole power and fighting stuff this what I have to say and I am quoting the Great Stan Lee when he said "If I put two characters against each other..who wins? Whoever I want at the moment of writing!"

That said, the power of certain aliens will still weigh in especially those of Way Big, Atomix, Clockwork, and Alien X.

As for how others will react well I guess we'll have to wait and see sorry, but I really don't like to give away soo much. But I like your points and will keep them in mind as we continue in the future.

---

Guest: a good chapter as always, I like how you are handling uraraka, if she feels like a protagonist at the same time as izuku and not the bottom second.

now I would like to ask some questions:

¿Will you add walkatrouth and the worst? They are one of the most useless aliens of the omnitrix (at least the ones they have shown us), but Walkatrouth who I think is the real worst, instead of the other yellow, at least the other one takes good hits.

¿Will uraraka inherit the gifts of previous bearers? I suppose you will wait until the 2 remaining gifts are revealed, but where it is seen they are only supportive and I do not know if it affects the scale of power in your fic much.

And finally, I would like to mention an artist on twitter, you can find him as a galaticmatrix, and he is doing aliens fan made, he has already completed his first batch of 100 aliens and is on his second, it is only a mention in case you are interested in this type of things

CreateGunner1209: No I don't plan to add Walkatrout and the Worst. If they do how up it's when I actually run out of aliens to add.

So yes I was always planning for Uraraka to receive the other Quirks. And if you're concerned about the whole OFA issue you don't have to be, I've already got several ways to get around it.

Thanks but I'm not going to look into OC aliens, not until all the canon Omnitrix aliens are in the story.

---

Jakesurfboy: Oh boy this chapter makes me have many thoughts in my head. As much of a Ben 10 nerd I am I honestly can't figure who the skeleton is at the end of the chapter and it's driving me nuts. Also the fact the Tsukachi is skeptical of Hizashi is now making me wonder if he did just come back for the Omintrix or if it's just a coincidence he came back. I got to say this is really hyping up for the Training camp arc where I'm hoping a new alien or 2 comes in to play hope to see it soon

CreateGunner1209: The skeleton was Psyphon. Although you probably realized that by now. But before we get to the training camp we got an original arc of mine to get through first, but one more chapter before we can truly start it.

---

Guest: Que Eon llegue al mundo de nuestro izuku en serio dime bakugo conocerá a Eon el tiene que conocerlo

Imagino que inko va a llorar al descubrir la verdad de su esposo y su hijo será cómico

Podrías poner una referencia a depredador como un cameo y cuando izuku y Ochaco irán a pueblo bajo

Si existen híbridos humano alien y si es así los padres humanos sabes que su pareja sin aliens y saben de los plomeros también

CreateGunner1209: During the spin off I will only be using my version of Izuku I don't really plan for others of Izuku's universe to really get involved with the time travel stuff. But AU versions of the characters are fair game

I already got a Predator reference coming up real soon, not to worry

And I hope this chapter was able to answer your question too.

---

Guest: You know what midoriya need a droid when he have to wait to transform his alien like BD-1 on his back help him in any way and give him stimpak if he or someone beside him are injured

CreateGunner1209: I know and trust me I am considering it but I wanna establish Chopper first before then.

---

Guest: Loving it. I would love to see a part where izuku briefly unlocks the master control of the current omnitrix maybe during class or something like that? Also the only pairing I would like to see is IzuMina but I understand your hesitance to want to add pairings. Keep up the great work I'm looking forward to the next update.

CreateGunner1209: Thanks for leaving a review. I really like to hear what you guys want to see. Gives me something to think about.

---

Guest: Arias que xylene sea como una madre adictiva para hisashi creo que encajaría bien y lucy si sería la primera de izuku y imajino que el no sabía que es parte alien y eya si sabía e eso y los plomeros y lucy si es la primera de izuku eya también conosia a bakugo

Izuku aprenderá a el cambio rápido en este arco tuyo y que pasa con manny Alan Helen y phirs y los hijos de los fontaneros apareseran y Rook si será estudiante de hisashi

Que ara Hatsune cuan descubra la tecnología alien se volverá loca más de lo que ya está verdad me preguntó que inventó podría Aser con eya

Hisashi sabe sobre los caballeros eternos

CreateGunner1209: So Xylene won't be having a real connection to Hisashi and Lucy…well I have to rethink where and how to add her into the story so we'll put a pin on that.

As for the what will occur in the arc you will just have to wait and see who and what occurs.

---

Guest: Arias que resulte que el padre de inko también fue plomero y así hisashi se convirtió en uno o será otra cosa

Y créeme eso que te sujeri de que Eon boro los quiks de los humanos de su dimensión le quedaría perfecto enserio debes de aser lo

Supongo que los caballeros eternos podrían apareser durante el arco de Eri aparte podría Resultar que chsaki es uno en secreto por sus metas y la de los caballeros eternos pero es tu decisión

Podrías poder a heatblast asiendo referencia al Kamehameha de Goku o con su pose oye con el poderes del cronosapiem izuku podría devolver los quiks a quienes fueron afectados por las balas Anti quirk verdad

CreateGunner1209: Inko's father was not a Plumber. And we'll see what happens during the Overhaul arc.

---

Guest: Do you remember the device Psyphon used to drain the powers of certain individuals and then transfer them into Vilgax? Will that come to play in the future? With it, Vilgax can take people's Quirks away from them and make it his own. He could possibly acquire similar abilities that his future self has used from the episode Ben 10000 in the original series and/or the ones from his alien force appearance. That would essentially make him a second All for One if you decide to go for this approach. It would build him up as the most dangerous enemy for Izuku and Ochaco to deal with.

Also, will Izuku be gaining more alien forms by coming into contact of aliens of the same species like what you did with Buzzshock, Diamondhead and Wildmutt? If that's the case, I would predict that he would gain more alien forms by meeting certain Ben 10 characters like Simian, Dr. Psychobos, Ship, Pax, Dr. Viktor, the Mummy, The Werewolf, etc.

Henzu will gain more powers by touching the Omnitrix right? He probably won't mutate any further upon doing so, but I think he would still gain Big Chill, Heatblast, Stinkfly and Wildmutt's powers. I mean take a look at Ultimate Kevin for example. He absorbed Aggregor's alien powers and his body didn't mutate to match the same body parts as those five aliens. Despite that, Ultimate Kevin has shown to have used the powers of Water Hazard, Terraspin, NRG, Armodrillo, and Amphibian. Also, does Henzu in his current form have the ability to fly? I imagine that Buzzshock would give him the ability to fly other than duplication and electric powers which is something Ditto and Feedback can do too.

CreateGunner1209: I do remember. And that's all I'll say about that. And not to worry more aliens are on the way. And so is more Nue content so just wait and see.

---

Guest: So its overall a good story but you are too greedy as an author. You merged the ben 10 and hero academy universes together. Just the omnitrix in the hero world would be enough. Furthermore writing with 2 MCs is crazy. The entire story should have foucs on deku not the classmates. No one cares about them. They are just extras. As for aliens you should have used the OG 10, no ghostfreak if you want 9. Then slowly introduce his other transformations. During the sports festival, he should be on the Alien Force og 10. And the finals with Alien X just one-shotting his opponent. Call him Almighty instead since no aliens and all. Alien X is Omnipotent so he all powerful, he's almighty. Plus Almighty and All Might, its works. Never use it again. And then the rest of alien force and ultimate aliens transformations. Just make the omnitrix's ai his teacher.

CreateGunner1209: I get that I do and thank you for airing your thoughts. Although I kinda have to disagree, I really like Izuku's classmates even if I don't do a lot with them. I think they're a lot of fun and can add a lot. Like what occured in this chapter with Mina. And I have a very good reason for choosing the aliens I did and why they appear in the order they have been. I can't say why but it is a very good reason. But I do kinda like the Omnitrix's AI being Izuku's droid/sidekick/mentor thing. But then again he's got a lot of mentors: Thirteen, Nezu, Hisashi, Aizawa, Gang Orca, and so on.

---

Guest: While may be a recent reader I am said I am thankful and proud to experience and enjoy this story that you have written. The differences from Canon are good but not so much that the train had gone off the rails but enough so that the story can progress in a similar yet quite special direction unique to this story alone. The Aliens abilities, fights and personalities hold quite true the Ben 10 series with the mix of Izuku's own. Your portrayal of the OG main characters and main side characters hold very honest to their Canon counterparts. I love you how address certain issues with the Canon MHA series and solving them by incorporating your own spin. This story that I have recently read (I'm a binge reader BTW) is truly a gem found only in the deepest oceans of other mundane, uncreative, lackluster and unentertaing stories that have already came and yet to come across(srsly there have been like zero good stories till I came upon this on Wednesday). I now have a few questions in mind about the story, not about how or what you will do in the future, you already long established what your plan is too many times it seems. But how or what you have already done, and I would be thankful if you could answer.

1. Original roster of Aliens. I was always curious why did you went for such a strange mix instead of the original 10 minys 1 one of them from the OG Ben 10 series. So it would be good to know.

2. Source of creativity. I am also curious on where your creative input comes from. Is it from the series, other fanfiction, fruebds who are also fans of both the series or from some other source. Please let me know.

3. Current state of the outline. You had mentioned befire many times you already had a sort of plan or outline about where the story goes, how it's written or who will appear. Those are none of my questions about your outline, instead I would like to know how far it has gone in comparison with the MHA Series and Manga. No fine details just need to know where you at is all. Knowing how many more original chapters and original arcs left would also be fun to know.

4. Slow rate/progress of Ben 10 original stuff. Don't get me wrong the stuff we got was good, Mr Baumann's store, Izuku's current playlist of Aliens, Mido vs Todo fight, Wildmutt (don't beat yourself up abou that too much BTW), Heatblast's full power(you know what I mean), Clancy, SixSix, Animo, Rojo, Tetrax... Vilgax. But I have to say in conjunction with the amount MHA episodes, the rate at which more Ben 10 oriented stuff are very slow. Now this could be because of how they could fit in the MHA storyline without bloating it up or you just simply are building up to something idk. Pls elaborate.

Now this one's has multiple questions... Favourite Ben 10 series, Favourite MHA Arc and character, Favourite Alien and Favourite MHA Ship. Mine are Omniverse, Villain Academia Arc and Mina Ashido, Alien X and How could I choose :P. Nuf said.

Lastly reboot, you have mentioned time and time again on your personal policy on the Reboot Ben 10,and I have to say... I 100% agree with you. Don't get me wrong it seems to be a... Interesting take on the series, and I find myself watching certain episodes myself. I like this versions take on Vilgax and Animo holds quite true to the original. However there is the fact that there are multiple problems with the show that affects the original fans. Things such as blasphemous animation style, blasphemous and insulting character changes, idiotic Ben 10 direction targeted at an idiotic childish demographic. So fair enough, but I would like to know why you didn't like it, because most fanfiction authors I have read that write Ben 10 oriented stories had actually no problem with it so it was exciting to find an author to relate to, so thank you.

Again this story is truly an experience. Thank you.

Sincerely an excited fan/reader

CreateGunner1209: Thank you, thank you for the kind beautiful words and an outstanding review. It really means a lot for me to hear and I'll try my best to answer your questions.

1. I had a good reason for it. For starters I first figured out where, when, and how each of the aliens would appear in the story like Diamondhead, Buzzshock, Heatblast, etc. Seriously I've got them all planned out from start to finish. And then I looked at the extras I had (at the time) and chose based off what they story needed, what wasn't too OP, and aliens that were different from each other to avoid repeats of powers. It didn't have to do with favoritism or odd combinations, it was all for the story to progress.

2. Sources of inspiration? Um I've always liked to come up with story ideas related to all sorts of series like Ben Ten and stuff. And so I finally decided to write one out, and to actually use my overactive imagination. Although there wasn't really a definitive fanfic or story that inspired me to write. I've read so many I tried to write a few times that I decided to give it a go. What really keeps me going now are the wonderful readers and the reviews they take the time to write.

it's written out to the Kaminao Arc (at leats in full detail) I am sort of reworking some stuff afterwards but I have a general outline at least up until the pro hero arc with Endeavor and the Hood. Everything after that, well I have ideas for, but I am putting it on hold for now because things can change in the story and could potentially change everything after.

4. I did it as to not bloat up everything I already have to deal with and besides I want to allow the alien stuff to grow over time as to signify the story progression. I.E. worlds collide type stuff.

5. Good question. I'm not really sure I tried to watch the first few episodes but it was clear that I am not the target demographic. Simple as that in a way. And also the art style is waaayyy to safe. Like it's bland and uninspired. Which sucks because the original plan for the series was for the animation to be more anime-style seriously I'm not joking. There's even bits of concept art and animation on how it would have looked with heatblast flying around like an anime character while fighting a giant alien, Attack on Titan style. I guess CartoonNetwork's hold over the series and it's artwork rubbed me the wrong way and I've struggled to start the series as a result. Also I prefer some of the original versions of the Omnitrix aliens over the new ones: Stinkfly, Wildvine, etc.

Now that said if you like the series that's fine, the series just isn't for me based on preference.

Guest: Buen capítulo, pero tengo dos preguntas:

1.- Se que suena demasiado pronto,

pero has pensado en un posible arco de redención para Nue como Kevin de Ben 10(Alien force para adelante), o planeas que se quede como villano?

2.- Has pensado también en un capítulo o arco donde Deku es perseguido por varios cazarecompensas, es decir, varios cazadores al mismo tiempo lo buscan, llegando hasta luchar entre ellos con tal de capturarlo, podrían aparecer personajes como: Seven-Seven, Kraab, Vulcan (creo que así se llama), o personajes de Star Wars como Cad Bane, Embo o los droides asesinos o el mismo IG-11, solo fue una idea nada más, ya verás si puedes hacerla o no, espero haberte inspirado algo por lo menos...solo siento que a esta parte de la historia se puede aprovechar, si se hace bien..

Buen capítulo, cuídate..

CreateGunner1209: Thank you.

not to worry I have plans for Nue, i've had them since the start of the story. Like everything else that occurs in the story.

2. I'm not really going to do that. Everyone thought I was going to during the U.S.J. But I'm not. Now will more bounty hunters arrive on the scene? Yes, but not all at once.

Guest: Oye Cres qué podrías poner ecenas embarazosas y graciosas dónde izuku y Ochaco estén en situaciones pervertidas y no sería divertido que unas aliens se terminen enamorando de minera y denki sería jenial y gracioso

También oye recuerdo que en Ben 10 abia un planeta donde la mitad derecha era de hielo y el lado izquierdo era de fuego si en el futuro izuku y Ochaco ban al espacio o hisashi les able de ese planeta que según recuerdo estaba una puesa del mapa del infinito de agregor y estaba la rasa de los necrofilias arian algunas bromas en base A ese planeta y a shóto todoroki y su familia y dime el quirk de tsukauchi de detector de mentiras funsionaria en los aliens y eyos digan la verdad o el de itoshi shinsho funcionaría por solo lo a usado con bestia y no recuerdo quien más o el de toga como ya pregunté

Porsierto ¿ la casa de izuku y su familia ay tecnología y equipo de los fontaneros escondido en el departamento que hisashi haiga ocultado o y si hisashi tenía la casa rodante dela serie y cuando izuku era de 3 años pasarón unas vacaciones en eya y si es así hisashi en un intento de agradarle a izuku la traiga y baya con izuku y Ochaco a tener un fin de semana juntos y mejor convivir y ese remolque tendría también equipo de plomero oculto en el ?

Oye dame una respuesta definitiva ¿En el spit-off arias a qué algunos villanos estén con Eon con sus poderes aumentados y que no se hibridisados en alien y dime si pondrías a una Eri villana que no se en ese mundo Kai lo le iso esas atrosidades y la educó y entrono para que eya fuera la mayor villana y gobernante del Inframundo criminal y traficante de armas con su peculiaridad aumentada y que nunca conocio a mirió y que edad le pondrías talbes unos 18 años lo arias si o no ?

Y ya me imagino la car de irá de endebor al descubrir la verdadera profesión de hisashi

Y oye sé cómo podrías solucionar lo del one for all que mata con la tecnología alien podrían Aser que lo modifiquen para que no pare a Ochaco facil y sencillo

¿Por sierto y quiero una respuesta definitiva tarde que dijiste que Nana no era plomera pero ya siquiera si sabía también sobre los aliens y all for one también sabe que existen o almenos si sospechaba sobre su experiencia?

Por sierto arias que aquí murió no pierda sus poderes y que izuku le de una armadura de plomero que resiste las balas y no sea penetrado por proyectiles

Y en dónde se situaría el spit-off si es después del rescate de Eri sería jenial por qué inpactaria más que los demás Bean una versión malvada de eya

Y una cosa soy solo yo o los eventos de su trama no recuerda ala película 3 de xmen la batalla final

CreateGunner1209: I could, we'll see, but I'm hesitant to because how toxic the fandom is about their ships. So providing fuel to that fire isn't exactly something I look forward to.

And I do know what planet you're talking about. But I don't think we'll ever see it in this series sad to say.

And no the Midoriya house is not layered with alien tech. Hisashi hasn't been there in ten years so he had no time to do so.

I have yet to fully figure out the spin-off and I don't plan to even start it until after the Provisional Licensing Exam so I can't give you a proper answer.

And thanks for the advice about the OFA but I've already had several ideas on how to fix it the instant I read the chapter. And I've already got an idea I love. But thanks anyway.

Nana doesn't know about aliens. She never did, she had no connection to them. Gran Torino knows about aliens yes but that's because he found out after her death.

Guest: Ya recordé que mosca apestosa si callo por la peculiaridad de itoshi pero eso se podría debatir Yaque izuku se convirtió en un alien pero su serebro sige ciendo la mente de un ser humano así que pasa un alien puro si cairia afectado por esa peculiaridad

Otra los herues no piediero Aser nada contra un pyronita adolescente y con irá ciega no me quiero imaginar que pasaría se se enfrentarán contra uno adulto que controla ala perfección sus poderes y tiene una gran experiencia en el combate los mataria

Arias una referencia a Ricky y morty que un alien diga que ay un viejo loco y si nieto viajando por el universo pero sin especificar quien es y que hisashi los cónosio y una referencia a los alien de la película evolución la conoses trata de que un meteorito cae en la tierra y una sustancia que trae ase que sus celulas evolución en algo como un dragón y en simios adules la arias y oye no aparesera el Kraken que aparesio en la serie

Por sierto si un alien octuviera one for all no le pasaría nada Yaque sus poderes son de una fuente distinta

Y sabes cómo sería perfecto que los aliens se revelarán as lo mismo que dieron los desecticons en Transformers 2 con los satélites y Vilgax de su mensaje ala humanidad y revele sobre los plomeros y izuku , Ochaco y hisashi aslo

CreateGunner1209: No, all aliens can fall under mind control like how all aliens fall under Whampire's control or Ghostfreak's. I never liked how in the series Ben was just immune to mindcontrol, that was total plot armor at it's finest because the writers didn't know how he would win otherwise.

I can try to do a Rick and Morty reference but not sure when.

Guest: Are you going bring shock rock if so imagine all enhanced his alien

CreateGunner1209: No, nothing from the reboot will be appearing, sorry.

Nick4Speed: Special move for Heatblast (if you don't like it that's fine I just want to express my thoughts about what kind move Heatblast should have in this fic but I think you probably already thought about it) Fyi his my favourite alien.

BURNING COMET.

Deku will unleash a stream of flame at both bottom of his feet to act as a thruster sending him straight at his opponent with both fist pointing toward while leaving a trail of fire behind. When in midair his body will unleash huge amount of flame that will cover his entire body to the point that his red rocky body cannot be seen because of the huge amount of flame but the outline of his body still visible and then he will spin his body in midair causing the fire to be more intense before colliding with his opponent. Huge blast of explosion happen next.

GRAND FIRE BREATH.

Deku will unleash huge amount of flame from his mouth. (It will look exactly like Natsu Dragneel fire dragon breath)

RING OF FIRE.

Deku point his right arm on the air creating a ring of fire in the air before tossing it at his opponent.

BURNING SPIRAL.

Deku will shoot a stream of fire with both hand while it's pointing downward causing him to levitate in the air before spinning his body rapidly creating a mini-fire tornado threatening anything that close to him to be burn (It act more like a defensive move)

CreateGunner1209: I like them and I will try to do them if I can but no promises. Thank you anyway for taking the time to share them with me.
