Exactly one word was going through Midoriya's mind, on an endless loop as charged forward towards his towering opponent with nothing more than a blaster, a hover board and his own wit.
'Crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap!'
He could hear the pattering of his alien allies feet as she rushed off to recover the omnitrix and vaguely he registered relief that she'd at least be safe for the moment. That helped spur him on.
The squid like alien reared back his fist and swung forth, fist moving fast. Not so fast that the boy couldn't react though it really was last moment as he jumped over the villains head and rolled across the metal ground as the board smacked square against his face. "Ahh! You pest!"
The villain turned to face him as he scrambled back up to his feet and put a bit of distance between the two. 'Can't rely on my own strength here obviously, so got to find someone to beat him without touching him…'
"Last mistake brat. I need only end you now and throw you out myself! A simple endeavor." The villain growled as he started stomping forth and Midoriya quickly gripped the blaster tight as he waited for his opportunity. Vilgax's fist came down again and he dived, barely making through the gap only to be yanked back by his leg. "Hmph. Goodbye Midoriya."
'Quick, quick think!' Midoriya thought, looking around for anything he could use in the situation he was in as Vilgax lifted his fist, ready to knock him out when he noticed it. Part of the grating on the floor was loose and the railing barely was attached. As quickly as he could the boy pressed the trigger as he aimed vaguely at his opponent and a blast went off. "AHHHG!"
"Ah!" The greenette let out a short cry as his body smacked against the metal, accidentally kicking the gun off the edge of the platform into the abyss. He hurried to the other side quickly before Vilgax recovered, grabbing his board and turning to face the villain. 'Maybe…when he' angry he gets a little more reckless…'
"Y-you were saying? Seems like your kinda terrible at actually getting anything done yourself…" He baited as he kept the board ready. Vilgax fell for it amazingly, red pinprick eyes almost glowing with anger as he charged forward and smashed a fist down as Izuku took a leap of faith of the catwalk, placing the board beneath him and flying around and above the villain. A quick check revealed his theory was spot on as another part of the catwalk had started to crumble under the aliens strength. 'Perfect. I can work with this.'
"You think it's wise to insult your destroyer?" The squid questioned as he ripped part of the railing off and launched it at the boy who had to jump off the hover board to dodge, leaving it in midair. "That's it…"
"No but I refuse to die here so I haven't done anything unwise yet." The boy stalled as he looked for his next attack point. The villains arms twitched as he let out a small chilling laugh.
"Except say that." Vilgax mocked as he rushed forward for the final time, as his fist crashed down against the grating, screwing flying into the air as Midoriya dived only to be caught even sooner by Vilgax, who smashed him against the floor. 'Ow….' "Did you really think that would work again without a blaster?"
"W-worth a shot…" The greenette muttered as he looked up, the final screw right in front of him. He shot his hand out and managed to grab it, yanking it out and causing the platform to begin to fall, both of them still on it.
"You idiot child!" Vilgax laughed amused as he jumped up trying to reach safety and let him plummet. He didn't make it far however as a grey blur suddenly collided into his and knocked him into the side wall, sending him plummeting to the depths below.
The grey ball continued, bouncing off the wall and coming back, opening up and making Midoriya's eyes go wide. "Hang on, Izuku!"
"Roller!" He cried out happily, being caught up in the aliens arms as his vision filled with pure white for a minute as his body twisted and turned as if it was in a rollercoaster. Suddenly the world came back into view and Midoriya pushed up to see they'd landed on the catwalk again. "I guess you beat Cross then?"
"For now, Appoplexians are tough creatures. He'll be back in no time." The alien said as the both stood up. "So will Vilgax, we only delayed him. Where's JJ?"
"I sent her ahead to keep her safe while I fought Vilgax. You just helped me out of that so…" The greenette turned and was surprised to see the hover board in front of him. "Oh…thanks for grabbing that."
"No problem. I can't believe you survived a direct conflict without any powers…guess I really did underestimate you." The Petarola said as they hurried down the halls, fortunately not making any turn offs. A loud bang echoes from behind them and the two stopped, looking back.
"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING MASSIVE GAP BLOCKING CROSS' PATH, CROSS DOES NOT APPRECIATE YOU PATHING CROSS'S OBSTRUCTION!" Came the loud angry growl of the tiger like alien and Midoriya grimaced as Roller stepped forward.
"Keep running, find JJ. I'll create a blockage." The older alien instructed and Midoriya nodded as he sprinted off, throwing the hover board in front of him and flying on.
Bang after bang sounded behind him as he passed door after door, only making quick checks along the way until finally he came across a room that seemed to almost glow from the outside. He swerved in and paled at what he saw inside.
All across the floor, struggling and in pain were JJ's clones and herself, all trying to fight a drone. Not just any drone though, the same one that had attacked him and his mother. He could tell by the markings.
The greenette inspected the room quickly and noticed an energy spear of some kind behind him. He grabbed quickly without a thought and sped forth, leaping into the air behind the robotic fighter and brought the weapon down clean through its head. It failed to notice him and as a result nothing stopped the attack. As the head collided with the floor, the body fell backwards as well.
"T-thanks…another minute and I was done fo-Wairly, IZUKU?! Y-you actually beat Vilgax?" The Splixson questioned as she merged back to normal with her clones. Midoriya shook his head as he looked around and his eyes narrowed in disbelief as he saw the Omnitrix sat upon an altar as if it was some ancient relic.
"Not exactly. We still have to hurry but Roller's just behind me at least…" The teen explained as he sprinted up the steps, surprised to be greeted by the omnitrix's voice once again.
"DNA samples identified. Owner…." Then, without the boy even doing anything the watch leapt out, wrapping tight around his wrist. He couldn't help but smile at those familiar beeps as it finished up. "..Izuku Midoriya."
"Good it feels good to have you back…and now i'm talking to a watch…" Midoriya started off excited before deadpanning as JJ started walking towards him.
"Tampering detected. Temporarily disabling time-out function." The eatch announced next and the greenette's grin grew even wider. 'That would have been useful before but i'm not complaining.'
"Sk this is an Omnitrix?" The alien girl asked as she walked up to get a closer look and the boy nodded, only for both of them to jump when a yellow light suddenly shout out and washed over the Splixson. "Hey what the heck?!"
"New DNA sample acquired, Splixson." The watch announced and Midoriya looked back down, surprised to see a new silhouette show up in the interface. 'No way….'
He could hardly resist as his he pressed in the screen, green light engulfing him like it had so many times before. When it dissipated in his place stood a single male Splixson with a bright green jumpsuit and white gems around his body. "Hah! This is awesome! I didn't know the Omnitrix could scan new aliens."
"W-wait…are you a male me now?!" JJ questioned dumbstruck as she looked at him and the boy nodded with a grin as his body began to split.
"Woah that's weird. Nothing like Reverb…" The first one said, as the second one stretched. "Yeah, we need a good name for ourselves. Oh! How about duple?! What do you think JJ?"
"Sounds awesome Midoriya!" The alien nodded her approval as the two Duples formed back into one and tapped the Omnitrix symbol, returning to normal. "That's so cool, so you can turn into any alien you want?"
"Not any alien, just whatever I already have in the Omnitrix apparently. Though now i'm curious why it didn't try to scan Vilgax…" The boy shrugged as he did a quick head count. All ten of his original set and the new addition were accounted for.
"So…it is real…" Came Roller's stunned voice as he walked into the room, looking at the boy. "It suits you..."
"Thanks.." Midoriya smiled as he scratched the back of his head when the watch once more kicked into action, scanning the older alien. "Huh, guess you weren't in here either."
"New DNA sample acquired, Pelarota." The watch announced again, once more showing a silhouette with it. The greenette grinned but then shook his head, remembering why they were hear in the first place.
"Ok guys, we need to get to the front of the ship. If we can I can use my Braniac or Enhance forms to get us down to earth. I really hope too much time hasn't passed down there." The boy instructed and the two aliens nodded as they turned and hurried towards their destination.
It only took a few minutes to find it, with Roller quickly dispatching the drones they found along the way. They eventually arrived in the cockpit and Midoriya grinned as he saw the controls. "Hopefully, I can just Brainiac to reverse the teleporter for a one way trip. The three of us leave and those two get stranded up here…"
It was going so well, then in an instant things went sour. The watch face turned yellow and suddenly the light shot out to behind, causing the greenette's eyes to go wide.
"ROLLER! LOOK OUT!" JJ screamed in a panic and Midoriya looked up as a red beam suddenly shot past him, in to the glass window and back at the Pelarota, who raised his arms to block.
"New DNA sample acquired."
Despite his attempt, the alien was too slow as the laser hit him right in his exposed stomach and the aliens eyes widened before he slowly began to fall over. "Roller no!"
"Appoplexian."
The teen turned, and there stood Vilgax with a blaster in hand and his underling beside him….and Midoriya snapped.
"You...BASTARD!" He screamed as he ran at the pair, pressing in the watch face and launching at the two out of the green light of the omnitrix.
