Long before the age of Quirks, humanity was often threatened by great and terrible monsters, aliens from other worlds, and kaiju that had been sleeping beneath the Earth for millions of years. Earth's attempts to defeat these monsters were futile, and every day the flame of hope grew ever dimmer. But then, humanity's salvation arrived from beyond the stars—a silver giant who wielded the power of light and reignited the fire within the human soul—the one called Ultraman.
And throughout the decades, more Ultramen would arrive on Earth to defend us from any extraterrestrial threat. Eventually, the invasions stopped, and the Ultras soon left Earth with humanity no longer in need of their protection. Thus, the Age of Aliens became a distant memory as the Emergence Age began.
On a warm summer night in Qing Qing City, China, the first human born with superpowers, called Quirks, was born, and humanity was thrown into an age of chaos. Day after day, more Quirked children were born with incredible abilities ranging from telekinesis to shapeshifting. Many scientists say that if it weren't for the chaos of the Emergence Age, humans would have colonized the stars by now.
Soon, noble individuals stepped forward to use their Quirks to save people and fight against those who would attempt to take advantage of the chaos for their own selfish desires. As more and more people developed Quirks, the strange became normal as the Age of Heroes began.
For almost a century, humanity remained in a state of relative peace. While villains still roamed the globe and tried to wreak havoc, the heroes were there to keep them in check.
But all that changed thirty years ago. Twin cosmic events known as the Ultra Flares and Dark Lightning Energy unleashed waves of giant monsters. Opportunistic aliens tried to take advantage of the chaos to invade and conquer Earth. The heroes and the military did their best to fight back against the invaders & monsters. Still, they found themselves outmatched by the sheer destructive power before them. Even All Might struggled against these monsters.
At their darkest hour, when the spark of hope was threatened to be smothered and extinguished entirely, salvation returned in the form of an Ultraman named X. The tides began to change as Ultraman X arrived. He and his allies defeated Greeza, the source of the Ultra Flares and the Dark Lightning.
And unlike the Ultras before him, X stayed on Earth to act as its stalwart guardian, planning for the next invasion, should it ever occur.
The Xeno Invasion Outcutters, known simply as Xio, who fought alongside X, expanded tino a massive rescue force, ever vigilant of any alien activity. They also continued their other goal of finding a way for Kaijus and Humans to live in peace together. The Hero Association also reorganized itself, training future heroes to handle crises alongside Xio.
My name is Ochako Uraraka. And this is the story about how my friends and I saved the world.

A My Hero Academia/Ultraman Crossover
Ultrawoman Cross
Chapter 1: The First Encounter
Jupiter's Orbit…
In the endless sea of stars, two glowing spheres smashed against each other over Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, one purple and one blue. Eventually, the blue sphere knocked the purple sphere onto the lunar surface. The sphere dissipated as it crash-landed and revealed a creature, half-organic half-machine, with four green eyes and two rows of sharp teeth. It was insectoid in appearance, mostly silver cybernetics with dark purple segments mixed in, especially around the chest and visor.
As the creature got back up, it saw the blue sphere land on the moon and dissipate.
"Hmph. You Ultras are so damn persistent," the cyborg spoke in a low, feminine voice.
Out of the sphere emerged a silver & blue giantess, with hints of gold around her chest armor and head. She had silver patterns running down her from her lower torso to her knees, matching her silver wristbands with a blue and gold bracelet on her left band. Her head had three-horned segments, with the middle one being primarily blue. In the middle of her chest was a blue gem held within a silver rectangular octagon.
"When it comes to delivering scum like you to justice, a Science Officer never gives up. Especially when they're a member of the Space Garrison," the giantess spoke, her yellow eyes shining with determination.
"Ha! Talk about stuck-up!" the cyborg said as she held out her left hand. Energy poured out from her chest cavity, data given life. The data energy swirled around her open hand and coalesced into a vicious curved blade. The cyborg charged at the Ultra, but the blue & silver alien leaped over her foe as she swung her sword.
Landing behind her, the blue Ultra was quick to strike, hitting the cyborg with a series of palm strikes that disorientated her opponent. But the cyborg was fast to react with another data stream, this time manifesting a twin-barreled gun on her right gauntlet.
"Rapid Data Bullet!" The cyborg unleashed a barrage of green bullets that knocked the giantess back, causing her to stagger a bit. The four-eyed alien charged with her blade, but the Ultra quickly manifested a circular energy shield in front of her. Using this momentary distraction, the giantess rolled to the side, extending her right hand forward before placing her left hand on her right upper arm.
"Cross Shot!" A blue stream of cosmic energy launched from the Ultra Warrior's right hand, knocking the blade out of the cyborg's hand. The bio-mechanical creature quickly turned and rushed towards her foe with a glowing fist. But the Ultra Warrior stood up, her horn crystal glowing with light energy.
"Ultra Acceleration!" A blue light covered her entire body before fading. In a blur of superspeed, the blue & silver giantess quickly evaded the cyborg's attack. In anger, the cyborg manifested and fired a barrage of missiles at her enemy. The giantess knocked the missiles out of the sky as they approached her. Her movements made her a blur as the missiles exploded around her. With a grunt, the giantess rushed forward, slashing at the cyborg with a superspeed hand chop and forcing her on her back. "It's the end of the road for you, Jagerin."
"Wait, wait, wait!" the cyborg quickly spat out as she held her hands up to the towering Ultra. "I-I can tell you what my job was! Just don't kill me!"
"Very well. Enlighten me," the giantess replied as she offered her hand to her downed foe. "What were you planning on doing with those monster body parts?"
"I'm…" Jagerin began to say as they seemed to reach out to grab the blue Ultra's hand. "Not telling ya jack shit!"
Before the giantess had a chance to react, the cyborg reached up and grabbed her by the neck, her mechanized strength putting immense pressure on the silver & blue alien. Jagerin laughed as she stood back up, lifting the ultra off her feet as she did so.
"Hah! I can't believe you fell for that! You heroic types are so damn gullible!" the cyborg proclaimed as the blue ultra continued to struggle. "You and that partner of yours caused me a ton of trouble. Maybe after I've ripped that gem from your chest, I'll go back to your galaxy and kill her too."
As Jagerin continued to gloat, she failed to notice a green ball of light emerging from the giantess's bracelet and floated towards into right hand as she raised it towards the cyborg's stomach.
"Don't worry; your corpse won't go to waste. I'm sure I can find someone looking for a sample of some Ultra DN-AAAGGHH!"
Without warning, the light within the blue Ultra's hand suddenly transformed into a glowing blade, stabbing Jagerin through her stomach. With a strained yell, the giantess swung her arm upwards, slashing the cyborg across the chest, gears flying out, and hydraulic fluid staining the surface of the moon. Screaming in pain, Jagerin dropped the Ultra warrior, grasping the hole in her chest.
"Y-you…HOW DARE YOU?!" Jagerin blared. "Forget the harvesting! I'LL BLAST YOU INTO STARDUST!"
The upper cavity of the four-eyed cyborg's chest opened up, revealing an energy emitter as green energy gathered around the tip. The giantess looked up and saw this oncoming attack, her energy blade vanishing. She knew she had to think of something quickly as she stood up, grabbing another green light orb from her bracelet.
"MAXIMUM HUNTER CANNON!"
"ULTRA DEFENDER!"
The giantess conjured up a glowing shield right as Jagerin fired a devastatingly powerful energy beam that clashed against the shield. But the shield could not stand against the raw power of the beam and began to crack. The energy beams then shattered the shield and consumed the blue Ultra, who let out a pained cry as she faded into light particles. The beam eventually faded, Jagerin's chest cavity closing.
"There…that'll teach you to interfe-"
Jagerin fell face-first onto Ganymede's surface with her energy drained, her four eyes blinking before shutting down.
Unbeknownst to anyone within this galaxy, this was merely the start of the next grand epic in its history.
Earth, Four Months Later…
(My Hero Academia OST - Bright & Cheerfully)
"Alrighty, looks like you saved 2,500 yen," a grocery store clerk said as he rang up a customer.
"Thank you," the customer said with a smile. The customer was a girl in her early teens with brown hair in a medium-length bob haircut. She had two dimples on her cheeks, making it look like she had a permanent blush.
"See ya next week, Oozori!" the girl said with a cheerful smile, leaving the grocery store with a bag in each hand.
"You too, Uraraka."
The brunette walked out of the store, passing by the other people going about their day in Mie Prefecture. The city of Jakuto was a small town sitting on the shore of a massive lake. The girl was on a chore run for her parents and was currently heading towards the bus stop. Uraraka sat on the bench, texting her mom that she was on her way back home.
"Get 'em, X!" The brunette turned and saw three teenage boys watching something on one of their phones.
"What's going on?" Uraraka asked as she looked over their shoulders.
"Ultraman X an' Xio are fightin' a bunch of weird duplicating aliens in Russia," one of the boys explained. He lifted up his phone to show Uraraka a live broadcast of an armored silver & red giant battling a seemingly endless group of gray, lobster-like aliens. The giant got blindsided by a laser attack from behind. However, three light streams appeared near X. As the light faded, three cybernetic monsters appeared by his side. One had large claws, one had a pair of antennae on its head, and the other resembled a fat bird.
"Alright! They called in the Cyber Kaijus!"
"Kick their ass, Eleking!"
"Wow!" Uraraka said in amazement as Ultraman X and the cybernetic version of Gomora, Eleking, and Bemstar began their battle against the army of Baltan aliens. Earlier, the brunette had seen the debut of that new hero in Mustafa called Mt. Lady. And now Ultraman and his friends were taking on an alien invasion.
But such was the case of their world. While the fantastical was commonplace, such feats still inspired awe. As Uraraka waited for her bus, she thought about what she was going to do with her life. In a few weeks, the brunette would graduate from middle school, aiming to enroll in the prestigious UA Academy. Or at least, she was going to try. As the alma mater for several renowned heroes and Xio agents, the bar to enter UA was as high as it could be.
To be honest, Uraraka wasn't sure if she could make the cut. Sure, her parents believed her quirk was amazing, but every parent says that about their kid. She just wasn't sure she had anything about her that would make her stand out against any other applicant.
(Music Switch: Ultraman X OST - Approaching Crisis)
However, she was pulled from her train of thought when the ground began to shake. All around the town, car alarms went off, objects fell over, and street lights flickered. And suddenly, something massive burst from the ground, creating a dust cloud that enveloped a dozen city blocks.
When the dust faded, the townsfolk were in awe and terror at what they saw. Standing ten stories high was a black & grey robot that looked like an anthropomorphic mole. Its claws were the size of train cars, its nose was a giant drill, and it had a strange conduit on its belly. With a mechanized yell, the creature swung its claw, demolishing the building next to it.
"Attention, All Citizens! There is a monster attack in progress! Please report to the nearest shelter!" The emergency channel broadcasted over the town's P.A. system, televisions, computers, and cell phones. "Repeat: There is a monster attack in progress! Please report-"
It was absolute chaos as the townsfolk tried to run away from the mechanical menace, who continued to smash, slash, and stomp over anything it could find. As Uraraka ran with the crowd, she tried to call her parents, only to drop it as someone bumped into her. "Hey!"
(Music End)
Meanwhile…
In an undisclosed location was a laboratory filled to the brim with technology advanced beyond the wildest dreams of anyone on Earth. Hundreds of pieces of alien technology were strewn across tables and workbenches and filled every shelf and cabinet in the room to bursting. Every device had at some point been opened up, taken apart, and put back together in a million different ways that their original creators would never have thought of. The centerpiece of the lab was a massive computer with a dozen and a huge chair that levitated a few feet above the floor and looked like it was about the most comfortable chair in the world. The computer's central screen was taken up by the image of the robot rampaging through Jakuto.
"YAHOO!" A small spherical red robot cheered as it floated around the chair and its occupant. "Congratulations, Master! Morutron Mark 1 is so cool!"
"Indeed it is, J0-E," said the chair's occupant, a large ape-like man wearing a dark pink lab coat and coke bottle glasses, proclaimed as they watched the live feed of Morutron tearing the small town apart. "This test run is going swimmingly so far. With X and his lackeys busy in Russia, this is the perfect chance to unleash my genius."
At the ends of his chair's armrests were two joystick controllers. The ape-man laughed as he used the controllers to make Morutron destroy everything around it. "You puny masses should be grateful! Yours is but a small sacrifice to prove the genius of Dr. Oozaru!"
Back in Jakuto…
Chaos was all that was around Uraraka. The townsfolk were running away as fast as they could while Morutron roared in the distance. The local officers and heroes were attempting to corral the citizens to shelters and safe zones, but were overwhelmed the panicking masses. However, Uraraka saw a trio of red jet/car hybrid machines flying above them. The wind whirled around the teenage girl as she saw them fly towards the rampaging robot.
"It's Xio!" Uraraka cheered, a sense of hope washing over the crowd.
"Gamma: Open Fire!"
The three over-tech machines flew towards the mole-like robot and fired a laser barrage at the machine. However, Morutron's red eyes glowed. A crimson force field surrounded the robot, easily deflecting the Xio Sky Musketties' laser blasts. The airborne trio passed by and attempted to make another run.
However, Morutron's back opened up, revealing several silos. A barrage of surface-to-air missiles launched from its back, locked onto the Xio squadron. Two of the high-tech aircraft managed to evade or shoot down the missiles that targeted them. However, their wingmate wasn't lucky as a stray missile blasted apart one of the Sky Musketty's wings.
The pilot attempted to separate the car module from the jet module, but the attack had fried the separation mechanism. The Xio Agent grabbed his divisor and pressed the eject button. As he was sent into the air, he spread his red wings and glided down to a nearby building. The pilot took off his helmet, revealing his short blond hair and red eyes.
"Yikes," the man said as he saw his Sky Musketty crash into a nearby street. "The boss is gonna have my ass for this." He then activated his divisor. "This is agent Takami. The big tin can shot me out of the sky."
"Are you hurt?" A male voice asked.
"Naw, just a bit winded," Takami said before turning back to watch as his wingmates battled against the mole mecha. "Requesting permission for Cyber Kaiju realization."
"Satellite Scans show that the surrounding area is totally evacuated. Realization Authorized."
"Roger!" With that, Takami tapped on his divisor's screen, manifesting a card in front of it. The red-winged man then grabbed the card and slid it into the front case.
Now loading Cyber Arstron!
(Return of Ultraman OST - MAT Theme AKA Wandaba)
In a flash of light, an object that looked like an action figured-sized manifested above the divisor. It was a mechanical bipedal creature with a long tail and a prominent horn. It had a black body with orange lining, with matching solid orange eyes, a yellow X on its chest, and big orange A's marked on its hands. Takami took hold of the doll and looked at it with fondness.
"Let's show off, partner." Takami placed the action figure on the circular scanner.
Realize!
In a blinding flash of light, a gigantic version of Cyber Arstron manifested in front of Morutron, now fully mobile and raring for a fight.
"If long-range weapons don't work, they'll just have to beat him the old-fashioned way!" Takami shouted into the divisor. "Kick its ass, Arstron!"
The cyber kaiju roared and began to stomp towards Morutron, each footstep echoing across the city.
Back in his secret lab, Oozaru smirked at the sight of the beast.
"GAAAAGHH! They summoned a Cyber Kaiju!" J0-E cried out.
"Don't panic, my spherical compatriot," Dr. Oozaru said as he gripped the controls. "This is merely an opportunity to test Morutron's full power. Behold the might of my genius, Xio!"
The two mechanical creatures charged towards each other. They struck simultaneously, creating a shockwave that was felt even many blocks away.
"Woah," Uraraka said, watching that battle in awe. "So this is what it's like when two kaiju fight."
"Hey, young lady!" Uraraka turned and saw a man in a full-body green & white costume, with an equally green scarf around his neck.
"Wind-Walker?!" Uraraka said, surprised by the appearance of the town's local hero.
"There's no time for rubberneckin'! You gotta leave before the fight spreads out!"
"R-Right...but…"
"No buts, missy. Just let Xio do their job while you scoot to the nearest shelter. Got it?"
Uraraka straightened up and saluted. "Yes, sir!" She proclaimed before heading off, the masked hero sweat dropping.
(Music End)
"The salute wasn't necessary," the hero said before looking in the distance. Cyber Arstron stepped back to evade a claw strike before swinging its tail at Morutron, pushing it back. As he watched the fight, Wind-Walker scowled under his mask, feeling utterly useless.
Then again, such was the plight of the small-time, local hero. He was no Endeavor or All Might. Hell, he wasn't even on the level of Fourth Kind. He was just some schmuck with a light wind-manipulation quirk who defended his hometown from gangsters and the occasional villain, none of whom even deserved the prefix of "super."
But giant robots, this was beyond his capabilities. So all he could do was make sure the townsfolk were safe and let the experts handle the mechanical terror.
'Here I go,' Wind Walker thought to himself, using his wind quirk to blast off and help with the evacuation.
Uraraka decided to cut through an alleyway to avoid the large crowd. The young girl was terrified that something was happening in her hometown. And even worse, she couldn't stop worrying about her parents, hoping that they would make their way out too. But suddenly, the brunette was taken out of her thoughts when she heard crying.
Exiting the alley, Uraraka saw a little girl with a lizard mutant-quirk, possibly no older than four or five years old, standing in the middle of the empty street, bawling her eyes out.
"Papa! Where are you?! Papa!"
'She must've gotten separated from her dad,' Uraraka thought to herself and rushed to help the girl.
But at the same time, Morutron and Cyber Arstron's brawl became increasingly violent. Buildings all around them came crashing down as the titans clashed. The two Xio fighters decided to use the fight to launch another attack, hoping that the clash with Arstron would distract it from deploying its forcefield.
"FIRE!" The two machine hybrids unleashed another laser barrage. Still, the barrier did appear partially over Morutron's back to block the blasts.
"Dammit. The barrier's automatic," Takami said, groaning both in frustration and the strain of his connection to Arstron. The mechanical beast then used its drill nose to knock Cyber Arstron into a nearby building, demolishing the structure. Morutron then turned towards the airborne Xio machines and launched another missile barrage. The two fighters managed to evade and shoot down most of the missiles...save for a stray missile that flew off course.
As for where it landed, that was the unfortunate part as the missile hit the top of a building near Uraraka and the lizard girl. The brunette saw the building start to collapse and ran faster towards the girl.
"Hang on!" Ochako said as she placed all ten of her fingers on the girl, a pink light showing her quirk was activated. "GO!"
With the effect of gravity no longer affecting the surprised lizard girl, Uraraka pushed her out of the way…right as a massive piece of debris came crashing down right on top of her. The lizard girl was then caught by a leaping Wind-Walker.
"Are you okay?" The local hero asked. The shaken girl slowly nodded.
"Y-Ya. But…there was an older girl that saved me. Is…is she okay?"
Wind-Walker turned his head, his throat clenching as he saw the street behind covered in massive debris. Anyone who would've been on that street would have constantly been crushed by the flotsam.
"I-I'm sure she got somewhere safe," the masked hero stated. "And we should get ya somewhere safe too. Okay?"
"Okay." And with that, the local hero and the girl left the street, neither of them seeing the small ball of blue light that flew underneath the boulder that crushed Uraraka.
"…wake up."
"Huh?"
"Wake up, Ochako Uraraka."
Ochako opened her eyes and saw that she was floating in a void of blue light.
"Where…where am I?"
"You are within my personal Ultra Space," a woman's voice proclaimed. Ochako turned her head, and her eyes widened as she saw a blue & silver giantess.
"You…you're an Ultraman!" Ochako shouted in shock, causing the giantess to tilt her head with curiosity.
"Hmph. So you know about my kind, although, I do not believe I am, by your species' standard, what you would call a 'man,'" the giantess stated. "My name is Cross, a science officer of the Space Garrison."
"Oh, you're a woman," Ochako said, just now noticing her voice and curves. "Ah, so you would be Ultrawoman Cross."
"I suppose. You seem to be in good spirits considering what just happened."
"What happened?"
"You died."
"Oh, I see," Ochako said. Suddenly the full meaning of Cross's words hit like the debris that brought her here and Ochako's eyes went wide as dinner plates. "EHHHH?! I DIED?! Wait, what about that little girl?! Is she-"
"She's safe. A man wearing a colorful costume caught her."
"Really? Thank goodness," Ochako said in relief before her smile turned into a frown. "So, I'm really dead?"
"Yes. But there is a chance for you to come back to life," Cross explained, getting Ochako's attention. "You see, my physical body was destroyed in a previous fight, and I haven't been able to properly manifest. But if we merge on the molecular level, not only will I be able to exist on the physical plane once more, but your life will be saved."
"But if we merge, will I still be…well, me?"
"Of course. Your mind will always be yours."
"…are you sure you want to merge with me? I'm not really anything special."
"I disagree. I saw you save that girl. Despite the danger to yourself, you did not hesitate to save her life. Yours is a selfless and noble heart, Ochako. The kind of which is coveted within the Space Garrison. So I ask you; Will you merge with me and help me defeat that machine destroying your home?"
Just like before, Ochako clenched her fist before looking the Ultra in the eye. "Alright, let's do this."
"Excellent." Suddenly, Cross transformed into a blue light and flew towards Ochako's left wrist. The light faded to reveal a blue, gold & silver wrist device now strapped to her. On the left side was a blue cross in a silver octagon. On the tip of the right side, was a blue button, and in the center was a circular gold plate with Cross' visage on it, with the bottom open to reveal a roulette wheel. "Just follow my instructions; Turn the gold plate 90 degrees clockwise and push the button on the right tip. After that, all you need to do is hold your bracer arm up and shout a word or words of power."
"Right," Ochako said. Then, following Cross's instructions, Ochako turned the gold faceplate and pressed the right button, causing the blue gem within the hexagon to glow blue.
Let's Go, Ultrawoman Cross!
Ochako thought about what she should say, and remembered a phrase she had heard before. She recalled the motto of her dream school, the alma mater of Japan's greatest heroes and her personal favorite, Thirteen.
"Go beyond…" Ochako whispered before thrusting her left arm into the air. "PLUS ULTRA!"
A cyclone of blue and gold energy consumed Ochako as her body began to change. Soon, Ultrawoman Cross was standing in Ochako's place. The blue & silver Ultra rose, growing larger and larger until she achieved her true height.
In reality, a blue light burst from the rubble and blasted towards Morutron, smacking it away from the downed Cyber Arstron.
(Ultraman Anime OST - Ultraman)
"What?" Takami said as the blue light faded before Arstron, revealing the towering form of Cross, much to the shock of the Xio Agents, Dr. Oozaru, Wind-Walker, and the townsfolk. "It's an Ultra...woman?"
"Ultra detected! Ultra detected! This is bad! Really bad!" J0-E freaked out as he flew around everywhere.
"Calm down! This is merely an unseen variable," Dr. Oozaru proclaimed as he looked at Cross through Morutron's visual feed. Truthfully, he hadn't anticipated the appearance of an Ultra Warrior. But he wouldn't let this opportunity to test Morutron's might go to waste.
"Cha."
Cross stared down her opponent, taking a combat stance with her right palm held out. As the mechanical menace stood up once more, Cross ran towards her foe, attacking with a flying knee to the chest. Morutron attempted to swipe at the ultrawoman with its claws, but Cross avoided the left arm and blocked the right arm. But then Morutron kicked the blue ultra back before following up with a claw strike.
Cross rolled and dodged the strike, quickly standing back up to face the machine. She held her arms out the sides, each hand having its pointer and middle fingers extended. Blue electricity flowed around the fingers while her horn crystal began to glow.
"Neutron Wave!" Cross brought her hands to forehead crystal, firing a powerful green energy blast from her horn at Morutron. And like before, the forcefield appeared, managing to block the shot.
"Just how strong is that forcefield?" Ochako asked from within Ultrawoman Cross. Suddenly, jets from Morutron's feet ignited, the robot flying at the ultra warrior with its drill nose spinning. Cross managed to grab Morutron by the shoulders, stopping the drill from stabbing her. But then, the drill nose opened up, revealing a laser emitter. The laser fired, sending Cross crashing into a nearby building.
As the giantess got back up from the wreckage, she saw her mechanical foe launch another barrage of missiles at her. "Ultra Acceleration!" Cross took off into the air with blinding speed as the missiles chased after her. With speed greater than the fastest aircraft, Cross was able to bob and weave out of the path of the missiles, causing a few of them to hit each other and explode. And any missile that did get closer to her was knocked back into another missile with either a hand chop or kick. Morutron continued to fire until it emptied its payload, all of the rockets destroyed by the airborne ultra warrior.
Deciding to take a different approach, Cross floated high above, glaring down at Morutron. "Ultra-Scan."
Cross's yellow eyes glowed as her vision zoomed in on Morutron, look through the robot's outer shell to its inner workings. And quickly, she found Morutron's main battery. "There it is."
The blue giantess extended her right hand forward with her left palm on her forearm."Cross Shot!" A stream of light particles rained down upon Morutron, its barrier automatically deploying to block the shots. But Cross acted quickly, landing in front of her metallic foe and rearing her right palm back, energy pulsing around her hand.
"Crossium Pulse!" In a flash, Cross thrust her palm against the mole-like machine, a pulse of energy flowing around the machine until the energy reached the primary battery, shorting it out and causing Morutron to shut down temporarily.
"Not good! Not good!" J0-E cried out as an irate Oozaru attempted to quickly activate Morutron's backup battery.
"Damn it!" Oozaru growled. "I designed and calibrated Morutron's defenses around X's abilities Xio's arsenal, Morutron isn't equipped to counter this new Ultra Warrior! I didn't even think it was possible for their species to generate EMP waves."
Cross could see Morutron's backup batteries were already activating with her Ultra-Scan and decided to finish this fight there and then.
"Ochako, rotate the faceplate back, spin the wheel until you see a lance, and then press the right button again."
"Got it!" The brunette said, rotating the plate and moving the wheel with her thumb until she saw an image of a lance, quickly pressing the right button.
Cross Sword Lance!
A green orb of light emerged from Cross' Brace, the giantess seized it with her right hand. The orb transformed into a sword lance, and this time, it was not obscured in light and clear for everyone to see. Like its wielder, the Cross Sword Lance was a mix of blue, gold & silver, with a blue shaft, gold accents on the bottom & sides, and a silver sword on the tip of the spear, a blue gem at the end. Under the blade was a silver sphere with blue & gold lines along it, a silver lever with blue & gold highlights underneath that, and a gold button underneath that.
Ultrawoman Cross twirled the lance in both her hands before pulling the lever with her left hand, causing the sphere to spin with blue & gold energy before quickly tapping the button. As the sword tip glowed with bright green energy, Cross twirled it once more before pulling her right hand back and taking aim with her lance.
"Sword Javelin!"
With a mighty yell, Cross threw the Sword Lance at Morutron, the alien weapon stabbing and flying right through its chest and center battery, leaving a massive hole in the mechanical beast's torso as the Sword Lance vanished into light particles. Electricity started to spark all throughout Morutron, its various gears and electronics short-circuiting before the mole robot finally exploded into a massive pillar of flames.
(Music End)
"She…SHE WON!" Someone among the civilians cheered. And soon enough, all of the Jakuto City residents were cheering, shouting words of encouragement to the Ultrawoman. The alien giantess looked at the humans with an inquisitive look before raising her arms and taking off into the air, vanishing in a streak of light.
Back in his lair, Oozaru glared at the status screen, showing that Morutron was destroyed.
"Professor?" J0-E asked in concern. All he got was a sigh of frustration.
"Live and learn, J0-E. That's the only way progress can happen." The ape-man proclaimed as he stood up from his control station. "Time to get started on the next innovation."
"Yes, sir!" The spherical robot said as he flew towards the main lab, his creator following behind him. As he walked, Oozoru thought of all the enemies he needed to eventually defeat to achieve his ambition. Ultraman X. Xio. And now this new Ultrawoman.
Whatever his next creation would become, Oozaru knew he needed it to be powerful to destroy all of them. Ochako and Cross didn't know it, but on that day, they made a powerful enemy.
Later…
"Have you seen this girl?" A dirty blond man in his mid-forties asked as he showed someone a picture of Ochako on his phone. It was about an hour after Morutron's rampage and destruction. Xio rescue workers, regular workers, and some local heroes from neighboring cities had arrived to help people, setting up temporary shelters until repairs could be made to the city.
"Can't say I have. I hope ya find her," the man said as he walked towards one of the temporary shelters. And so, Hiede Uraraka continued to look for a daughter until…
"Dad!" Hiede turned and saw Ochako running towards him, hugging as they reunited. So relieved was the older man that he didn't even notice the bracelet made of blue beads on her left wrist. With light tears in her eyes and a smile, Ochako said, "I lost the groceries."
"Oh, that's okay, sweetie," Hiede said, kissing her daughter's forehead. "I'm just glad you're safe. C'mon, let's go find your mother."
"Got it," Ochako said, looking around and smiling when she saw the lizard girl from earlier hugging her parents.
'Excuse me, Ochako.'
'Geez, Cross!' Ochako thought back in shock. 'Warn me before you do that!'
'I'm sorry, but I've noticed something peculiar about your genetic make-up. Your DNA appears to be a strange sequence of genes that, if my analysis is correct, would allow you to manipulate gravitons. Do you know anything about this?'
'Oh, that's just my Quirk.'
'Quirk. Hm, interesting.'
'This is gonna take some getting used to,' Ochako thought to herself as she followed her father.
So much happened that day that would change my life forever. That was the first day I ever saved anyone and the first day I met my best friend.
And at the time, I had no idea that this was just the beginning of our adventures together.
Epilogue…
"Wow! An actual Ultrawoman!" A young blonde-haired girl said as she watched a news report of Cross's battle with Morutron. Her hair was styled in two messy buns, her golden eyes wide with delight as she watched the battle. Her outfit consisted of a typical schoolgirl uniform with a pale yellow sweater over her shirt. "Can you believe it?"
All the girl got was muffled screaming from a teenage boy who was tied to a chair with duct tape over his mouth and tears running down his eyes. He could hardly believe this was happening. One minute, he and his parents were eating dinner and watching TV. Then there was a knock at the door, and a frail old woman said her car had broken down and her phone was dead, asking if she could rest in their home while she waited for a tow truck. As soon as she'd stepped into their apartment, the old woman transformed into the girl, slit his father's throat, stabbed his mother in the chest, and then gagged and bound him as she collected his parent's blood into different vials from her backpack. The girl only stopped her blood collecting when she saw the news footage of the Ultrawoman fighting a giant robot.
"Hey, do you think Ultras have blood?" The girl suddenly asked him as she stood up. "I mean everything living has blood. Oh, can you even imagine what an Ultra's blood would taste like?"
The boy swore to god that it sounded like this crazy girl was aroused by this thought. But then, she turned around, and his eyes widened in terror as he saw the insane look in her cat-like eyes.
"But enough speculating, cutie. Time to dig in."
As the blood-obsessed girl went to work on her next victim, six glowing green eyes appeared on her cell phone screen inside her backpack before fading to black.
Author's Note 2: Last year was tough on everyone. But during my time in quarantine (as much I can be in quarantine since I work at a grocery store), I fell head over heels for the Ultra Series. While I've been a Tokusatsu fan for most of my life, once I got into Ultraman, it quickly became one of my favorite franchises of all time.
I've been wanting to do an Ultraman story for a while, going through several concepts and ideas. I decided to make it a crossover with My Hero Academia since I figured that crossing over a series that gave birth to a vast majority of heroic Japanese tropes with one of the most popular shonen hero series in recent memory. And it's also an AU sequel to Ultraman X because X is awesome and tends to get overshadowed by Orb.
This story has gone through various stages. First, it was a story that had Izuku turning into Ultraman Victory, then Ochako turning into Ultraman Z, and finally, we got this version with my own original Ultrawoman.
If you guys want to read more about my inspirations/where I got my ideas, you can check out my Tumblr for the full details, mainly to keep these author notes from being too long. My Tumblr's called 'navek15', by the way.
And in the spirit of the Ultra Series, I'll have our Ultra Host tease the next chapter. Take it away, Ochako!
Ochako: Life's definitely a lot stranger with Cross being in my head. Huh, there's a rumor about a giant robot dinosaur in a nearby town? Is it related to that mole robot? Wait a minute! There's an underground kaiju! What's wrong with its head?!
Next time on Ultrawoman Cross: Roar, Kinzoku Rex! Plus Ultra!
