After Midoriya had finally told the class the truth of the Omnitrix, and talked with Aizawa outside, he'd returned to class to find out about the sports festival before going on with the day.
He already knew what it was of course, it would be more worrying if he didn't. It was one of the biggest sporting events in japan. Every year U.A. would hold a festival where the students of each year group would compete with one another, fighting to come out on top.
They did it to show off their potential to hero agencies, hoping to get internships. At least, that's why they did it in later years. It was a rare occurrence for first years to get any.
Still, a chance to prove themselves wasn't something to turn down!
After that had been explained, they had gone about their day as usual and the boy's usual friend group had been especially clingy that day, not that he could blame them.
Eventually, it was time to return home and they had all been walking out towards the front of the school however instead of them leaving to Yaoyorouzu's limousine like usual the raven-haired girl turned to the boy with a soft smile.
"Oh, I entirely forgot to mention! We were talking with mister Aizawa this morning and got permission to spend some time with you here. We would of asked first but we weren't sure you'd be back so soon…" She explained with a light blush, rubbing the back of her neck. "So… I kinda called off my limo for a while…"
He could only blink dumbly for a moment before grinning. "Well… then I guess I might as well show you around. And… thanks guys."
"Hey, what are friends for!" Kirishima said, throwing an arm around his neck. "Now let's go!"
"So… it's only working for a couple of minutes at a time then?" JJ pondered as she inspected the odd machine before her, as Inko nodded with an amused smile. The alien girl was almost like a child in some ways, not understanding parts of the world around her.
"Yes, that is the point of a microwave. We don't use them longer than we need the or we lose power." The green haired woman said with a nod, while pulling out some carrots from the fridge. JJ turned out to be a vegetarian so they had been mainly feeding her salads in the mean time, not that she really minded. After all, a few years of barely edible space gunk made any real food pretty appetizing. "Did you want to try mashed potatoes today by the way?"
"Oh! That sounds really nice miss Inko!" The girl nodded her head, still fiddling with the machine in front of her, unaware the woman had unplugged it to be safe when a small bang attracted their attention.
"I'm home!" Came Izuku's voice, however more than just his footsteps echoes through the halls. "I brought some of my friends!"
"Huh? Oh, what good timing." Inko said with a lighty chuckle, opening up the fridge. "I can make something for them as well. We're in the kitchen sweetie!"
Once she called through, the boy had quickly shown up and behind him they're had been a small group of human's fowling him. The Splixson's grin turned nervous as she turned around, especially when all their faces seemed to turn to ones of shook when they laid eyes upon her. "Uh…hi?"
"What…" The tallest of the group, a boy with blue hair and glasses stared perplexed, readjusting his glasses to make sure he was really seeing what was in front of him. Noticing their odd stares Midoriya chuckled for a moment before hurrying up to her, giving her a small pat on the shoulder to reassure her.
"Right, I forgot to mention. Guys, I want you too meet JJ, JJ these are my friends from school. Uraraka, Yaoyorouzu, Kirishima and Iida." He said simply, helping her off the counter without hurting herself. "Guys, you already know who she is."
Yaoyorouzu walked up first, kneeling down with a soft smile and offering her hand. "A pleasure to meet you. Truly, thank you for everything you did for Midoriya.."
"Aw… it was nothing." She said with a nervous laugh, scratching the back of her head. "Besides, he did the real impressive stuff."
"Still, you got Deku back to us." Uraraka said, shaking her fists with a grin. "So you're definitely awesome to me."
At that, the splixson grinned for a moment, before it fell as the other events of that day returned to her. Aside from Midoriya, Kirishima surprisingly was the first person to pick up on it and quickly looked for a change of subject.
"Yo, miss Midoriya! Good to see you again, Ma'am." He said, pulling the attention towards the woman while the younger Midoriya pulled his alien friend into a sideways hug. "What you cooking?"
"Oh, Kirishima! I'm so glad you asked! It's a special meal designed for JJ. We've been toying with some food and found mashes carrots mixed with red grapes is actually pretty similar to an old food from her past she loved." The woman explained with a smile, fishing out more stuff from the fridge. "Will you all be staying long? You're timing is impeccable if so! I'd love to cook something for you all."
"Ah, you needn't do that miss Midoriya!" Iida quickly said, bowing. "I do appreciate the effort but you shouldn't have to do anything on our account!"
"Nonsense, I'd love to!" She said quickly and Midoriya grinned, as he looked up at his friends.
"Don't bother arguing. She won't take no for an answer. She's about this close to breaking miss Midnight already." The greenette laughed, deliberately pressing his fingers together. His prediction of the entire school staff sat around his kitchen table might come a little sooner than he expected at the pace she moved. "I bet Aizawa will be next…"
Suddenly, the mental image of Inko kidnapping the one scruffy and strict teacher Midoriya had told the splixson about came to mind and she snorted.
"Well, I guess if we can't say no… you got any Ramen?" Uraraka wondered with a smile that the plump woman returned, fishing out the noodles. Iida just grumbled under his breathe.
After a moment the others also put in requests for some food that would take a while, leaving them to ponder what to do. They were only silent for a moment though as a glint appeared in Midoriya's eyes.
"Well, I'm allowed to use my powers here and JJ needs to get used to the area anyways so…" He leaned over to Yaoyorouzu and began to whisper in the raven-haired girls ear. JJ noticed she blushed at the proximity, making her grin a little.
The creation girl's eyes lit up at whatever his idea was however and she stood up with a smile of her own, while Midoriya looked to the rest. "Come on guys, we should probably get a teacher to supervise."
"Huh? What are we doing?" Kirishima asked as the group, sans Inko all walked out into the hall and across to the opposite apartment, knocking on the door.
"You'll see…" Was all the Omnitrix bearer said, before the door opened up revealing Midnight in her hero outfit. "Hey, miss Midnight."
"Oh, hey kiddo." She said with a grin, getting the rest of the students to look at them with odd expressions. "What's up? Why are your friends here?"
"Just visiting, what with everything that's happened. The reason came over though is we need to show JJ around anyways and thought it would be fun to do it through a game. We need someone as a referee for it though. I heard you complaining on the way in about being bored so…"
"Hah, you're sweet kid." The teacher laughed, walking out and grinning at them. "Actually I'm going to be the main referee at the sports festival anyways, so I'm down for it as a bit of practice. As long as I can supervise, I assume you'll be using quirks."
"Yes ma'am, we need to start the game in the first place." Yaoyorouzu said with a nod. The teacher gave a thumbs up and the girl smiled, as she turned and unbuttoned part of her blazer to create somethings. She turned back with a grin, holding a blue ball in her hand which she chucked over to Midoriya.
"The game… It's a bit more frantic a version of hot potato." He explained, while scrolling through his transformations. "The ball Yaomomo just created is on a timer. When it's turned on and runs out, it will open up and spray whoever's holding it with a little water. Not much, just enough to know who lost."
Then, he pressed in the selection dial, disappearing into a flash of green light and shrinking down until he was shorter than even JJ. He looked up at them all, with dead eyes and a wide open green mouth.
Finally for the first time his friends got to meet Reverb. His body glowed for a moment as a clone split out either side of him before two more came from them. "And to ke-ep it fa-air, te-ams of sev-en? Boys vs Gir-ls. J-J, you in?"
The splixson blinked for a moment before punching her open palm and cracking her knuckles, with a determined grin and splitting into multiple of herself. "Challenging me with a Sonosarian? How could I ever back down. Boys vs girls it is!"
With that they all began to walk out into the city, but not before Kirishima spoke up with a teasing grin. "So, 'Yaomomo', Midoriya?"
At that, the white silicone housed alien froze up, and Uraraka also giggled a little at the realization. Said girl blushed and rubbed her head but gave him a reassuring grin. "It's ok, i… I like it. It's cute. It's also understandable if my full name was getting a little much to say."
"Hehe. Deku and Yaomomo…" The red headed boy grinned, before getting elbowed in the stomach by Uraraka. "Hey! I'm just saying…"
The game was even more hectic than JJ had expected. Yaoyorouzu had set the timer for six minutes, giving them plenty of time to scatter. They had confined themselves to two streets however allowed themselves to enter the building.
Two more of Midoriya's reverb clones had also been created but giving markings to distinguish them. They weren't playing, just following the ball when it went inside to feed information to Midnight when she couldn't see.
The first round had started with the ball in Kirishima's hands who had quickly thrown it off to one of the JJ's. The alien girl had called on another clone, throwing it to them as they leapt through the air to quickly launch it at a Reverb clone.
Instead of just catching it however he had used his sonic screams to launch it back into Uraraka's hands before the boy's all scattered. Unfortunately, despite being the fastest player Iida had failed to get out of sight.
Uraraka had floated the ball, and Yaoyorouzu had quickly came along with a baseball bat she'd created to launch it to the other class president. He'd turned to throw it back only to see the girls had already started dispersing. Taking a risk he threw it at the one JJ still in sight and managed to get it right into her hands.
After that, the clone hadn't found anyone until right at the end of the round, where Kirishima had gotten cocky atop one of the smaller buildings rooftops. Midnight had called out for him to be careful when the ball suddenly landed in his hands and sprayed him, throwing him over the edge.
Fortunately, the Reverb keeping track of the ball was quick to react, leaping of the building and multiplying rapidly to create what amounted to a hovering raft of bodies staying aloft via pure sound.
After a quick reminder to not get so close to the edges, they had begun again this time with Uraraka holding the ball. There had been more back in froth in the streets that time before they had ran off but eventually it came down to Iida and Uraraka in one of the buildings basements when the girl had taken to long to throw the ball and gotten sprayed.
The final round had come down to the original Reverb and original JJ on either side of the street, atop the buildings. With a tie, the alien boy holding the ball knew he couldn't afford to keep holding it any longer so he used his abilities to his advantage, running and using his sonic scream to launch himself across the buildings and throw the ball into JJ's hand where it finally sprayed her.
They'd all returned to Midnight after that, laughing regardless of how they performed and turning back into the original group, JJ's clones returning to her and Midoriya making sure to take all his back before changing back into human form.
"Well, as you all probably realize, the boy's won thanks to Midoriya's quick decision-making skills." The woman said with a grin and a twirl, writing on a notepad none of them had seen her take out. "Also, not related to the game but I think I'll have to look into getting a similar game added in as a standard hero exercise in future. It's quite good training for your reflexes and testing your quick thinking skills."
With that, they had all began to make their way back when Kirishima who was now holding onto the ball had tripped on an uneven part of the pavement and fallen forward. Iida had caught him quickly, however the ball had catapulted into the air. Before anyone else could react two different voices called out.
"I GOT IT!"
"I GOT IT!"
CRASH!
Both Midoriya and Yaoyorozu had jumped for it at the same time and smashed into one another, the taller girls weight throwing them forward onto the ground.
Everything went silent for a moment, no one giving any more attention to the ball as it shattered on the road, all eyes on the two students. Midnight let out a childish squeal while Kirishima rolled his eyes.
"Seriously could you two be any more cliché right now?" He asked with an amused grin, while Iida ran forward to help them both up and assess how they were. However the two didn't really register any of his words.
Because Yaoyorouzu had ended up laying on top of Izuku in the most embarrassing way possible. In the background, JJ began to laugh her ass off.
After they recovered both were helped to their feet, brushing themselves off and apologizing profusely to one another. They both stayed red-faced and quiet all the way back until finally they had started to eat and calm down.
JJ was still thoroughly amused.
"Thank you all for coming!" Inko called from the kitchen as Midoriya's friends finally began to file out. Iida and Kirishima had dispersed first, then Uraraka and finally after a sweet short hug even Yaoyorouzu had began to depart.
However before she could leave completely JJ had quickly ran out after her, catching up quickly. Hearing her footsteps the tall girl turned to face the alien with a look of surprise. "Oh, JJ? Is something the matter?"
"No, I just wanted to ask something…" She explained as she slowed down, walking up to the girl and taking her breathe. She hoped she could do this properly, her race weren't known for being intimidating. "Do you like Midoriya?"
"Huh? Of course I do, he's one of my best friends." The girls said, as if it should be obvious and tilting her head to the side. The Splixson shook her head as she looked up, putting on a mean face.
"No, I mean do you… Like him that way? More than a friend?" Her tone sounded almost accusing as she said it, and the tall girl began to blush as she stared at her.
"H-huh?! W-what on e-earth makes you ask that?!" She questioned, and the alien just quirked a brow, making her look away. "I don't… I don't know? I mean do you? Is that why you're asking?"
"No, he's cool but…" JJ's mean looked turned into more of a pout as she crossed her arms. "He did a lot for me so I'm not going to let anyone hurt him!"
There was a beat of silence, then Yaoyorozu put her hand to her mouth as she began to giggle, causing the smaller of the two to look at her confused. The rich girl shook her head, taking the hand off her mouth and placing it on JJ's shoulders. "I promise I won't do anything to hurt him. I promise… and…. Thank you for caring about him."
"Well, as long as we are in the same page!" the Splixson said triumphantly, turning and walking back to her new apartment. Yaoyorouzu struggled to stop giggling all the way home.
Later that night, Midoriya had found himself near the forest area of U.A. with All Might and Nezu. He'd only gotten a text telling him to come meet them and no other information but he had an idea what to expect…
"Ah, there you are my boy!" The blonde waved when he noticed the greenette approaching and Nezu turned with a grin of his own. "Sorry to spring this on you but we need to do a little extra training…"
"For One for All, right?" The Omnitrix wielder questioned and was met with a nod.
"Yes. We got to figure out how it works now, especially with the Omnitrix deciding to regulate your power output itself. So… what do you want to deal with first? Human form One for All, or alien One for All? The latter is probably more dangerous but also what we really need to know about…"
"I… I think we should start with my aliens." Midoriya decided, pulling up his watch and scrolling through his transformations. "More of One for All goes to them so I need to think…. Probably the best bets for who can handle the full power would be Colossus or Crystalize…or I suppose goliath but that's overkill. Oh, I guess Goop also has an advantage on that front…"
Then, he scrolled past one transformation and he stopped. "Actually… if were going to start with any of them we should figure out what the Omnitrix was talking about. Let's start with Duple."
He pressed in the dial and a bright flash engulfed him as he began to shrink and his body became more rubber-y, arms growing long and large. He looked at himself when it was over and noticed no real change from before. "Huh… that's odd."
"Midoriya?" Nezu asked, and the alien looked up with a grin at his mentor and principal.
"Yeah, what's up doc?" He asked as he tried the first thing he knew he should before they began. His body glowed green and another alien exactly the same popped out. "This one's called Duple. Nice to meet'cha."
The clone was only around long enough to give a fanciful bow before merging back with the original so he could begin this. "So…. How do I do this?"
"Well, the first step is to clench your butt, of course!" All Might said with a laugh as if it was the most obvious thing, ignoring the aliens bewildered look. "After that, just focusing on calling the power to yourself and it should come!"
"Focus on calling the power…" The alien took a breath and imagined a raw energy flowing within him. To his surprise red lines started to cover his rubbery alien body and he looked over himself. "Woah… this… actually really stings but it doesn't feel like…."
"I think that's either the Omnitrix or your alien somehow keeping you from breaking. You're using far to much energy right now, can you even move?" All Might asked concerned and very barely the alien shook his head.
"Not…really…. Wait….I just need to tone down the power right?" He asked and the skinny man nodded, wondering where he was going with this. "Well if the power is separated across different bodies it can't do as much to me can it?"
"Wait…My boy I'm not sure if…"
It was too late for whatever the blonde was going to say as a green glow began to overpower the glow of One for all and then suddenly…
BOOM!
Both the teachers had to look away as a bright white light erupted before turning back and having their jaws drop in shock. The tree behind Midoriya had disintegrated in pieces from him colliding with it in the backlash.
Directly opposite him, slowly beginning to stand up was another Splixson. Unlike last time though this one didn't look the same as the original. It bared more of a resemblance to JJ in terms of body shape, with three tufts of hair instead of horns.
It's body was black and yellow instead of pure green and it began to talk in a much more feminine voice. One that caused the blonde to freeze up completely,
"W-what happened?" She asked, clutching her head as she looked up. "What happened to me. Why… why are my hands like this?!"
Midoriya finally recovered, clutching his arm in pain as he walked to his mentors side completely befuddled. The female Splixson looked up at them all and her eyes widened.
"T…toshinori?"
She knew All Might?
"M…Master?"
"Wait….WHAT?!"
