Summary: Helping out the guidance counselor, Bryant does what he can with what he's got, and what he gets is a treat. Using the watches' Evolution feature is now more than just a novelty.
Note: Reviews welcome as always.
On another note, I hope someone who's never heard of or seen Ben 10 before enjoys this of this is their introduction and they're just here for MHA. That'd be something.
He wakes up in her arms, "Mmm, what? What happened"? She caresses his forehead, "You had some rest, that's what. Now you can get back to business". She helps him up, "How long was I out"? She answers, "Only about 10 minutes. Don't worry about it, I'm sure there are still some stragglers. But, how do you feel"? He feels his cut arm, "I'm still hurting but yeah, I'll head up to the nurse's office when we're done. I should be okay for right now". He shakes her hand again, "It was nice meeting you Ms. Kayama, stay safe". Allen walks off and tries to find the guidance counselor.
It doesn't take him long to find the rage fueled dog man, as he sees a man with stretchy arms slammed around on the ground. As he's pinned, the villain stretches out his arm to poke him in the eyes, but this just pisses him off more, as he rips off the muzzle over his mouth. With his freed mouth he chomps down on one of the arms and starts shaking him around savagely until a the 'Gravitational Spring' surrenders, "Okay, okay I give"! He spits him out, "You're darn right you do", he shouts in an angry voice. With a punch he knocks him out cold, and then notices Bryant approaching.
"What are you doing here? Get to safety"! He counters, "What safety, the place is overrun with villains. You need my help Mr. Inui". He scoffs, "I don't need anyone's help". Bryant walks right up to him and stares up at the big man, unafraid unlike most students, even as he gets in his face, "I said, get to safety"! Allen replies, "Well I said, I'm not going anywhere". Ryo picks him up in both arms, "This is NO game kid, you don't even have a license". He is still mostly calm, "Don't need one in self defense. Now you can feed me all this 'lone wolf' and 'angry beast' getup, but you're a UA staff member for a reason. You wouldn't hurt a student, you're the guidance counselor for Christ's sake. I bet underneath that exterior you're just a nice guy".
He puts him down without so much as a small grumble, "See. You're a Hero, simple as that. But let me say, I appreciate you. Just a guy trying to do right by us teens". He smells the air, "Growl". Bryant turns around to see not one, not two, but five villains walking towards them. One wears an unsettling cow costume stitched together, two have four sets of arms including one blue and one alien looking, a guy with enhanced muscles and a freak with horns and a cycloptic eye. The cyclops speaks up, but only to taunt them, "Looky here guys, just a dog man and a pathetic student. I say we take 'em. 5 against 1". Bryant touches Ryo's furry arm, 'mutagen acquired, alien form unlocked', "You ready Mr. Inui"? He lashes, "It's Hound Dog". The new silhouette shows a humanoid looking wolf creature, "This guy looks awesome".
Pressing in the watch his skin becomes covered in a thick, dark blue fur, and his legs bend forward like a canines'. His feet grow sharp two toed nails with an extra one on the back of the heel. His arms distend all the way down to his feet almost, gaining muscle despite a thinner build. A tail sprouts out of his spine and to his back while his hands shape into four fingered long claws. Lastly and of course most painful, his head and skull become wolf-like as it shifts the bones, ending with pointed ears and a long muzzle which is split into four segments like a knife cut through it; "HOWLLLL"! Bryant can't speak but he can at least think to himself, 'I'm a damn werewolf, this is incredible'. Hound Dog looks to him, "Not bad. Well kid if you want to help go on ahead. Just don't get yourself killed".
The counselor takes on the blue and alien looking guys while he takes the cyclops, cow man and mask guy. Feeling natural, Bryant crouches to his arms and legs and runs on all fours towards the muscular mask guy, pouncing on him. He starts gnashing his jaws at his helmet while being restrained only by the villain holding his arm in front of Allen's neck. Bryant tries to bite him like a wild animal, almost forgetting he is a person and realizes the simple things. He refrains from biting the helmet and instead chomps his sharp teeth into the restraining arm; the villain in pain trying to shake him off, "Argh, get, off"! He punches him with his free arm but Bryant just keeps hanging on, even managing to rip off some skin.
The cyclops grabs him from behind and flings him off of his partner and he lands in the dirt, "Whines", he holds his muzzle. As he holds the muzzle, the cyclops charges towards him with his horns and unexpectedly Allen's mouth splits open and a 'sonic howl' shouts at the bad guy, backfiring his charge as he is instead flung away. 'Whoa, that's great', he thinks to himself. Setting his sight onto the 'weak link' helmet guy again, he runs at him as with before and tries to claw him as he jumps to two legs. Helmet head manages to get a hit on him a couple times but so does he, slashing the villain across the chest, tearing his shirt and leaving four bloody cut marks on his chest. Animialistically, he then checks the villains to the ground and starts gnawing on his leg, shaking it, "Growl".
The other guy in the bull costume shoots him behind with a set of lasers coming out of his mask, "Whimpers". Bryant turns around with anger as the bull guy shoots more lasers, but this time he opens up his jaw and howls again, which reflect the lasers back at him. The fat lug falls over like a sack of potatoes as he finally turns back to Hard Head to finish him off, "Grrr". He does an overhead smash with his claws manages to sink his teeth into the helmet, cracking and crushing it before ripping it off his face to reveal nothing more than an average ugly mug. 'Pfft, this guy's nothing special', he thinks. With his head exposed he shouts a howl right into his face, the villain covering his ears in pain, before being put down with a clawed punch.
The 'Stitched Giant' is out cold just like Hard Head, but the cyclops guy is still conscious and manages to gore an off guard Bryant, sending him into the dirt again, but this time he scraps the ground with his claws so not to take the full brunt of the impact. "Alright you freak, you managed to beat my allies, but I'm still in the game. Bring it". Bryant thinks to himself again, 'This guy's calling me a freak? He's the one with horns and a Polyphemus face'. He charges again but instead of howling, Bryant takes the right moment and 'grabs the bull by the horns', literally with his clawed hands. With enhanced strength, he lifts the heavy prick up and slams him into the ground after a brief power struggle. After hitting the ground, Bryant savagely starts ripping his blue skin to shreds with his claws, slash after slash, with even blood splashing a little. "Please, stop"! Bryant relents and howls to knock him out, 'Hmm, got a little violent there. But he probably deserved it. Still, remember what All Might said, know my strength'.
He decides to name his new form, 'Canis Hominid'. He heads over to Ryo, who is holding his own pretty well despite the odds, "Grr, that all you F ranked villains got"? Steel Bulwark and the Four Armed Zealot then decide to work together a bit more, as the blue guy punches Inui real hard with all four arms at once, sending him into the alien looking guy's own four arms. Back and fourth like ping pong, the take turns smacking him back anf forth between the two, not even giving him room to hit back except for one little slash. Bryant springs into action, 'Okay you assholes. If four arms are in, guess I'll try'. He switches to Warrior, "Now let's...actually, if four arms are better than two, then…". He turns the watch on his arm clockwise and slams it down, evolving the form.
His muscles harden and strengthen even further to where you can practically see the veins popping out, while he gains two more sets of arms to equal eight. Two more between his original double set and two more coming out of his shoulders which can actually face forward or backward; "Evolved Warrior"! With a large leap he jumps over right in front of the two, pushing Hound Dog aside out of the little 'monkey in the middle' act, "Hey you two, guess what"? They both try punching him with all their arms at once but he catches each one of the them in his own 'octo arms'. He finishes his own sentence, "Eight arms are better than four". He slams them together like slabs of concrete, then against the ground like rag dolls repeatedly. "I wonder how far I can toss two 300lb men. Let's find out". He does just that and tosses them both into the air until which he can almost not even see them.
They hit the ground in pain, but endure it to get back up, "Still not done"? He cracks all his knuckles, "Fine by me". Bryant holds off the blue guy with his shoulder arms, while he mainly focuses on the Zealot, giving him blow after blow in the face and chest. The smaller guy takes the beating like a man but even six arms against four isn't a competition, and with a new move Allen thinks of on the spot, he doesn't stand a chance. Having too much of the punching and ready for a finishing blow, Bryant puts his brain cells together and take his six free arms, smacking them together to create a seismic wave of air that sends the Zealot flying into the nearest wall with a K.O. With a strong grip, he takes Bulwark by the arms and slams him in front of himself, only to even pick him up. "Come on blue man, give me a fight".
Bulwark starts throwing punches but Bryant backs up, moving his head side to side and even counter punching here and there, "Got anything to say"? The villain stays silent. Finally having enough toying with the bad guy he grabs and restrains him by the arms, using his free ones to clobber him where he stands, in the gut, chest and face. Then just for kicks he forces his arms on himself and hits him with them, "Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself". Bulwark finally speaks up, "Cough, cough. I...give". Bryant starts to grip one of his arms and forces him to his knees, "How about saying uncle instead". His arms starts to crack, "Ah". The villain concedes, "Uncle". Allen picks him up and even dusts him off, "See that wasn't hard". He then knocks him out with one last punch.
Turning back on his own power, he turns to see Ryo looking on, "So uh, how long you been watching"? He admits, "For quite a bit". He walks over, "You're only a student but you managed to take on five villains almost single handed. You've got potential kid, I'll give you that". He smiles, "I appreciate it Mr. Inui". He goes back to his normal way, "Now don't let it go to your head". He raises his arms, "I won't". Hound Dog nods approvingly, "Now get to safety if you can. I'll clean up the garbage". Bryant takes his leave and walks away, content with the two forms he just used to dispatch the baddies. "Okay, time for the math teacher. God I hope he's more interesting than the class he teaches".
