Izuku Midoriya was bored.

Very, incredibly,

Bored.

He didn't hate school, don't get him wrong, and being able to see well known Pro Heroes everyday was amazing, he already got all their autographs and everything. But it's different when you see a cool Pro Hero save a whole building full of people versus when that said hero teaches you English. It definitely made it less boring but English was English and it was completely, mind numbingly boring.

''The relative pronouns are wrong in the last sentence.' Izuku thought as his mind drifted elsewhere as the rest of his class looked relatively bored as well.

Izuku looked at the Omnitrix and almost let out a sigh of relief. The class would be over in a few minutes and then it was time for lunch.

And after lunch was…

Hero Basic Training

Izuku grinned as he imagined what they'd be doing in the class. All he knew was that anything was better than where he was at at the moment. He tried to focus on the lesson Present Mic was teaching but his gaze drifted to Omnitrix again as he tapped his foot waiting for the end of the lesson.

He knew he should've been paying attention but he was tired from last night due to testing out one of his new transformations he dubbed "Swampfire". Izuku had turned into him yesterday in the fitness tests and was curious on what he could do after class. Fortunately, he took Ben's advice and went to Dagobah Beach to test him out. Good thing he put out the fires in time. Man, it would've been bad if he had tested him out in a forest or something.

'I really wish the new aliens came with a manual or something.' Izuku thought as the bell rang and he stood up from his seat to get out the door. His classmates were chatting to each other as they all went to lunch and were discussing who the heroics teacher would be.

"I heard a rumor that it'll be All Might!" The boy he recognized as Kaminari said as all his other classmates nodded. Izuku had heard about the rumor online on the hero boards but he really hoped it wasn't true.

He wasn't ready to face that man yet.

'Not now, maybe not even ever.' Izuku thought as he and his classmates split up, Ochako and Tenya joined him as they went to lunch. Izuku wasn't really used to eating with friends at lunch, considering his past at Aldera. It was really weird and really nice at the same time.

'Speaking of which… where's Mei? I can't see her anywhere.' Izuku thought as he ate his food, chatting with Ochako and Tenya. Izuku really hoped that Mei wouldn't give him a missile or something now. He kind of regretted giving her permission to design one thing for his costume.

'Hope she's doing well.' Izuku thought as him and Ochako began to talk about Thirteen, one of Ochako's favorite heroes.

Izuku smiled.


4 hours ago

In a loud workshop, a pink haired girl in goggles began to look at a piece of paper with a bunch of info, containing a drawing of a boy with curly hair wearing a shirt and pants with a watch on his left hand.

'This is seriously his costume?' Mei thought as he looked over it again. True to his word, Izuku's costume was just a black shirt and blue jeans. It was literally just casual wear. He had no support items either, except for the watch on one of his wrists.

"This won't do. Izuku deserves an extra cute baby!" Mei cackled as he began to think up his new costume. She really didn't know why she was so inclined to redesign his whole costume for him. All she knew was that it would make him happy and she liked it when he was happy.

She looked over the future upgrades/design changes he had wanted to make after this costume and one sentence caught her eye.

Add the number 10 somewhere

Mei looked at the black shirt he had wanted for his top and suddenly an idea formed.

"Oh he'll like this, I know it." Mei said, grinning from ear to ear as she crossed out his former costume and began to sketch up a new one. Suddenly an explosion rang out in the workshop and a loud voice yelled.

"Hatsume! What was that?" Powerloader asked from behind his desk.

"It wasn't me this time! I promise!" Mei replied, looking around at the workshop to a smoking student project from one of his classmates.

"Can you blame me for asking?" Power Loader asked as Mei rolled her eyes and continued to sketch up Izuku's costume.


Izuku sat down in his chair, as did his other classmates who were waiting for heroics class to start. He waited patiently as thundering footsteps made their way to the door.

'Please don't be All Might, please don't be All Might, please-' Izuku's thoughts were cut short as the door opened a muscular man with blonde hair appeared wearing red, yellow, white, and blue costume with a cape.

"I am here! Coming through the door like a hero!" All Might said as Izuku nearly banged his head onto the table. How bad could his luck be? First, Bakugou being in his class and now All Might as his teacher? Was the Sludge Villain gonna come out of the corner and reveal himself as the school janitor?

'Keep your cool. I'm sure he didn't mean to crush your hopes and aspirations that day on the rooftop! He was just looking out for you. He's a great hero, he saves countless lives. Don't be angry just because of what he said to you once.' Izuku tried to smile, but was nervously clutching the Omnitrix as his class cheered at All Might's appearance.

"It's really All Might! Woah!" Kaminari yelled as the class shared his energy and enthusiasm.

"The rumors were true! This year is gonna be awesome!" The boy named Kirishima yelled as All Might strode up to the podium, exaggerating his movements.

All Might placed both of his fists on his waist as he stood up on the podium,"Welcome to the most important class here in U.A! Think of this as Heroing' 101!"

"Here you'll learn what it means to be a pro and what it means to fight for the name of good! Let's get started! Today's lesson will leave you sore!" All Might declared as he showed a small card with the word "Battle" on it.

"Finally! The good shit!" Bakugou yelled a manic gleam in his eyes. Izuku's eyes widened as he genuinely smiled.

'Battle Training! I get to use my forms in a fight now! I've been wanting to field test some of my aliens for a while. I can't wait.' Izuku thought as All Might continued.

"But one of the keys of being a hero is looking good!" All Might declared as the walls opened up to reveal numbered containers.

'Hero costumes? Awesome!' Izuku thought as he remembered a few weeks ago when he was filling out his new quirk registration form. It had been a shock when he revealed it to his mother, but after turning into one of his aliens she believed him. Then she proceeded to burst into tears and hug him, which was pretty hard considering he was Gray Matter at the time.

"Oh! Izuku you're here!" Izuku perked up and saw his Mom standing a few feet away from him.

She quickly pulled out a white and green hoodie. The hoodie seemed to be handcrafted, with green stripes running across the arm. It looked like….

'Isn't that what I had sketched in one of my notebooks?' Izuku wondered as his mom happily held it up.

"Is that what I think it is?" Izuku asked as his mother blushed.

"I was bringing you food earlier and you dozed off. I saw that drawing of you wearing that jacket and figured it was part of your hero costume and made it for you! At first I was really worried about you becoming a hero. But now….. I believe in you, Izuku. I really do. Not because you got a quirk, but because of your good heart. Your father would be proud." Izuku got up to hug her as tears went down her face as Izuku began to cry too.

'My mom made it for me, how could I not wear it.' Izuku thought as he brought his crate with the number 10 on it in the changing room. He glanced and saw a small sticky note, written in shaky handwriting and was covered in grease and oil on top of the crate.

Hope you like the changes I made :)

~ Mei

Izuku groaned as he opened the crate and saw…

"Mei, I'm never doubting or complaining about you again," Izuku muttered as he held up a black, green striped t-shirt with the number 10 in the middle. Although she did change his blue jeans to brown cargo pants which he was a bit miffed about. But he supposed it didn't matter. He slipped the shirt and jeans on and put on his mom's hoodie, leaving it unzipped. He finally tied his signature red shoes and went into the tunnel.

"Woah! Nice costume Deku! Looks really practical!" Ochaco said as Izuku came out of the tunnel and began to furiously blush. She was wearing a skin tight black and pink costume that left nothing to the imagination. It looked space themed, with a visor on her head too,

'Look away Izuku! Look away! Don't be a pervert!" Izuku yelled in his mind as Ochako rubbed the back of her head, sheepishly.

"I should have been more specific about what I wanted.. Skin tight really isn't my style" Ochako said as All Might began to talk.

"Now that you're ready, it's time for your combat training!" All Might said as a boy clad in white armor raised up his hand.

"Sir! This is the fake city from our Entrance Exam! Will we be conducting urban battles today?" The boy asked as Izuku pieced things together.

'That's Lida? Woah, his costume looks cool.' Izuku thought as All Might held up two fingers.

"Not quite! We'll be moving ahead of schedule! Most of the battles you see on TV or in person are done outside, however statistically speaking more battles take place indoors! Truly intelligent villains stick to the shadows!" All Might declared as the class nodded. Izuku stroked his chin as he thought about it.

'Yeah, he's right. Most public appearances by heroes are done outside, but most fights take place in buildings and abandoned structures.' Izuku thought as All Might began to explain that they would be splitting up into teams of 2, one being villains and the other one being heroes. The villains have to protect a bomb and the heroes have to find it. Heroes win if they touch the bomb and caputure the villains and Villains win if they capture the heroes, or just stall for enough time.

'I can think of a lot of aliens good for this situation. I could go XLR8 and just check every room for the bomb as a hero or even just sneak in and touch the bomb using Gray Matter. Of course I could just go for Four Arms or Diamondhead but it'd be easier to go for the objective as hero instead of trying to fight my way through. As a villain I could go Wildmutt to smell where the enemy team is and then either take them out or recon it back to my teammate.' Izuku thought, mumbling, as he unconsciously pulled out the Omnitrix and scrolled through his selection as everyone stared at him, including All Might.

"Uh…. sorry, force of habit." Izuku mumbled as he stopped scrolling and covered his mouth. All Might continued reading from his script.

"We will be drawing lots to choose your teammates!" All Might declared as Tenya interrupted.

"Sir! Isn't there a better way to do this?" Tenya asked as Izuku answered his question.

"Well, if you think about it most of the time heroes don't really get to choose who they work with most of the time. I think it's the same thing here." Izuku as Tenya nodded.

"Yes, I suppose. Life is a random series of events. Forgive my rudeness!" Tenya said, bowing to All Might.

"No worries! Now let's draw!" All Might said as he began to draw lots, but Momo Yaoyorozu interrupted him.

"Sir, there aren't an even amount of us here since Mineta got expelled. What will happen?" Momo asked as All Might stroked his chin.

"One of you will have an extra member! It will not be fair but it can give you an idea of what it's like to fight outnumbered, which is a real thing that happens in our line of work!" All Might declared as Midoriya sweatdropped.

'One of the teams will have 3 people? I really hope I'm not facing them.' Izuku thought as All Might continued to draw lots.

Team A: Izuku Midoriya and Ochako Uraraka

Team B: Shoto Todoroki and Mezo Shoji

Team C: Katsuki Bakugou, Tenya Lida, and Momo Yaoyorozu

Team D: Mina Ashido and Yuga Aoyama

Team E: Rikido Sato and Koji Koda

Team F: Kyoka Jirou and Denki Kaminari

Team G: Tsuyu Asui and Fumikage Tokoyami

Team H: Toru Hagakure and Mashirao Ojiro

Team I: Hanta Sero and Eijiro Kirishima

"Woah! What are the chances! We're a team!" Ochako exclaimed as Izuku began to panic. How was he supposed to focus with such a cute girl on his team.

'Focus. Focus. Don't look. You're not a pervert. Focus on the exercise. Think of a plan.' Izuku thought as he blushed.

"The first teams to fight will be….. Team A and Team C! Team A will be the heroes and Team C will be the villains!" All Might' declared as all the color left Izuku's face. He was gonna face off against Bakugou with 1 more teammate than him.

'I am so screwed. Oh, god. The universe hates me. That is the only explanation.' Izuku began to grip the Omnitrix tightly as Bakugou glared at him. Izuku began to shake in fear but a voice echoed in his mind before he even put on the Omnitrix.

"I know you're gonna be a good wielder, make me proud and be extra awesome."

Izuku straightened himself and glared right back at Bakugou, startling him. That didn't last for long however as Bakugou glared at him even harder.

'I was chosen to be the wielder of the Omnitrix, me, not anyone else. I can't lose and I can't be scared of him. Kacch- Katsuki has controlled my life for too long. I need to teach him a lesson.' Izuku thought as All Might began again.

"The rest of the students, come with me to the monitoring room to watch." All Might said as the class began to shuffle off.

Izuku had to get ready.

He had to win.

"Villains! You may go inside to get set up! In 5 minutes the heroes will be let loose and the exercise will start. Young Bakugou, Young Lida, and Young Yaoyorozu, the key to being successful in this challenge is to embody villainy. Think from the perspective of an evildoer. If things go too far, I'll step in" All Might said as Bakugou stared at Izuku who was breathing heavily, gripping his watch tight.

'I'm gonna break that stupid watch of yours and put you in your fucking place, Deku. You'll be back to being a quirkless freak and there'll be nothing you can do about it.' Bakugou thought as he grinned maniacally.

The villain team walked in the building as they came across the payload they must protect. Momo and Tenya were talking, thinking of a plan to thwart the heroes as Bakugou interrupted them.

"You two guard the bomb, I'll be going after shitty Deku." Bakugou said as the two's eyes widened.

"Bakugou, we have strength in numbers! We must not throw away our advantage!" Tenya said as Bakugou snarled.

"Can it, Four Eyes. You and Big Tits over here can guard the bomb. I need to put Deku back in his fucking place." Bakugou said explosions crackling on his palms.

"I respect the fact you're getting into the role, but we must be rational!" Tenya said as Bakugou scoffed. Momo placed a hand on Tenya's shoulder and shook her head.

"He can do what he wants, just let him rough them up and we can protect the bomb." Momo said as she glared back at Bakugou who was walking out the door, outside of the bomb's whereabouts.

Back outside of the building, Izuku and Ochako are chatting about if All Might wanted them to analyze the floor plans of the building or not. Izuku looked at it, trying to store it away for later. He could use it later if he decided to go XLR8 and just clear all the rooms.

"You know, All Might is as cool as he is in person as he is on TV. I'm really glad he won't give us some punishment like Mr. Aizawa. We can relax." Ochako said as she glanced up to the sweating boy with green hair.

"What's wrong?" Ochako asked, concerned as Izuku looked at her with panic in his eyes.

"W-Well, I know that Kaccha- Bakugou will go after me first once we start. I- I'm not sure about Lida and Yaoyorozu but he'll for sure try to pummel me to the ground instead of waiting near the bomb to use their strength in numbers. I-I'm just worried about the overwhelming advantage they have." Izuku said, looking at the ground as Ochako as the realization washed over her.

'Ye-Yeah I guess you're right.. But still! You have those cool forms, we can win this right?" Ochako asked as Izuku perked his head up.

"Well, I have a 10 minute time limit on my forms and then I have to wait another 10 minutes until I can transform again. I-If I draw out Bakugou and capture him, then cancel the transformation early, I can meet up with you and we can take on both Lida and Yaoyorozu." Izuku said, smacking his fist against his palm.

"Sounds like a plan! Let's win this!" Ochako said as All Might's voice blared in their ears.

"All right! Let's begin the indoor combat training! Team A and Team C your time starts now!" All Might yelled as he started to talk to the class behind him.

"Pay attention. Think about what you would do if you were in the same situations as them." All Might said as he began to think.

'Nezu said you weren't related to All For One or have any connection to him. But that does not change my apprehensiveness. A quirk like that is extraordinary and deadly in the wrong hands. I must keep an eye on you. For your safety and for your classmates.' All Might thought as he grimaced, glancing up to the monitors showing Izuku and Ochako climbing through the window.

"Careful Uraraka. He could be here already. Get ready." Izuku said as he brushed himself off and surveyed the surroundings. Him and Ochako began to walk around the twisting corridors as Izuku thought of what to do.

'I have to be ready to transform. I can't hesitate and let Bakugou knock me out before I can use it. I'll have to go Diamondhead or Swampfire in this situation since they can take his explosions. Four Arms is too big and XLR8 would just get lost in the twisting and confusing corridors. I can do this,' Izuku thought as they turned another corner and Bakugou appeared jumping out of a small opening on the right. Bakugou darted towards him with a large right hook, his palm exploding as Izuku dodged. Bakugou hits the wall instead as part of Izuku's jacket burns from the explosions.

Izuku tackles Ochako to the ground as Bakugou comes out of the smoke grinning.

"Uraraka are you okay?" Izuku asked as he gazed at Bakugou.

"Ye-Yeah." Ochako replied. Izuku crouched beside her and Izuku stood up. Bakugou tried to charge at him again with a right hook. Izuku reacts, dodging and grabbing his arm and slamming him to the ground.

'H-How. He- He knew..' 'Bakugou thought as his body bounced off the concrete below him.

"Y-You always start off a fight with a huge right hook. I-I analyzed every hero, including you. It was all in the notebook you blew away!" Izuku said, holding up his left hand, the Omnitrix gleaming.

"You might still call me Deku.. but I'm not the same defenseless kid anymore! You hear me! I've changed! From now on, Deku doesn't mean useless… It's the name of a hero!" Izuku declared as Bakugou let out a tch' getting up.

"Run and find the bomb. Th-This is my fight." Izuku said as he pulled up his left wrist, getting ready to transform. Bakugou reacts as Izuku begins to scroll through his selection of aliens rapidly. He found his alien and slammed down on the core right as Bakugou threw another punch at him. They were both gone in a flash of light.

Back in the monitoring room the class looked at the screen with full undivided attention as Izuku slammed down on his watch on one of the monitors. His class looked at the green flash that covered both Bakugou and Izuku as the light died and smoke rose around the spot where the two were.

"What did he turn into this time?" Kaminari asked as the rest of them mumbled.

"Maybe he turned into that Four Arms guy or the blue velociraptor thing?" Kirishima said as the class looked closely to the screen. As the smoke cleared, they saw a green, humanoid plant with red petals on his head standing as Bakugou punched through his body.

"Wh-What the.." Bakugou said as his arm was stuck in the plant alien's body as he recoiled from the smell of him.

Izuku looked at him and punched his face with enough force to send him tumbling away. The burn marks and hole in the alien's body quickly began to regenerate as it turned back to the dark green color it was before. Bakugou quickly got back to his feet, stunned.

"I call this one Swampfire. He can regenerate from pretty much anything so none of your explosions will leave a mark on me for long. You've finally met your match." Izuku said as he held up his fists and charged at Bakugou. Bakugou leapt over him, sending another explosion at his back, which sent another hole through him. Bakugou landed on the ground with a huff as the hole in his body began to heal up again.

"Then I'll just kill you faster than you can fucking mend!" Bakugou said as he sent wave after wave of explosions at the transformed teen as he gritted his teeth. His body parts began to blast off and parts of his skin were peeled off, but they regenerated faster than Bakugou could imagine

He sent roots into the ground, to maintain his footing as he took the blows. Bakugou threw explosions, kicks, and punches at the alien but it did nothing as he just kept regenerating. A small grin appeared on Izuku's face as held up one of his fists.

"My turn." Izuku said as he threw a punch into Bakugou's gut as he keeled over from the blow. Izuku threw a kick at his side, throwing the boy off balance as he laid there on the ground. Bakugou quickly got up but was met with another punch to the face which made him stumble back from the blow.

His face was bleeding and had bruises and he looked completely pissed off. Bakugou threw another explosion at Izuku which he dodged. Izuku and Bakugou began to trade punches and kicks, one after another as the blonde boy began to get bruised and battered.

Back with Ochako, she had found the room containing the bomb as she waited outside for Izuku. She leaned against the wall as she heard the screaming below her.

'I hope he's doing okay.' Ochako thought as her heart raced.

Bakugou quickly stumbled back as he clutched one of his gauntlets, grinning madly. Izuku was bruised and had black spots all over his body but those quickly healed. He had to be careful. Swampfire was strong and if he put too much force into his blows he could end up killing him

"You know.. These gauntlets aren't just for show. They've been storing up my sweat for a monster blast!" Bakugou said as he gritted his teeth and got ready to pull the pin.

"That's too far Young Bakugou! You'll kill him!" All Might yelled as Bakugou cackled.

"He won't die if he dodges!" Bakugou yelled as he pulled the pin and a massive explosion barrelled at Izuku as he braced for the impact. He couldn't dodge, not at point blank range.

The blast hit him as he felt every one of his cells scream in agony as the blast consumed him and the corridor behind him.

The smoke cleared and there was nothing left where Izuku was standing. The only evidence he had been there was the green splatter on the walls and floor. Bakugou looked around and found nothing.

The entire class in the monitoring stared in shock as the smoke cleared and there was green splatter all over the walls. Even one of the girls looked like she was gonna puke.

"Di-Did Bakugou just kill Midoriya?" Kaminari asked as the room was utterly silent.

"Bakugou went too far!" Kirishima yelled as the shocked room looked at the monitors.

"Young Bakugou.. What have you done?!" All Might yelled into his earpiece as Bakugou stiffened.

"Di-Did I kill the fucking nerd? N-No I just wanted to show him his place. I-I'm not a villain.' Bakugou thought as he clutched his head.

'But you are. Did you care when you bullied him for 10 years? Did you care when you burned him and bruised him? Did you care when you told him to jump off a roof?" Bakugou felt as he clutched his hands. He went too far. He killed Midoriya. He killed the son of the woman who his mother had been friends with for years.

'I-I just wanted to show him his place.' Bakugou said as he looked at the ground, a teardrop falling on one of the splatters of Izuku's remains.

"Wait! Look!" One of the students yelled, pointing at the monitor. There were vines sprouting from the green splatter on the ground. The vines twisted and melded together as legs formed. Then the torso and arms, and finally the head. Standing behind Bakugou was a reformed Izuku Midoriya who had hatred in his eyes.

"If that was anyone else, they'd be dead!" Izuku roared, trying to contain his anger as he took out some seeds and threw them on the ground, sprouting into vines that kept the boy there. Bakugou didn't fight it as he let himself get captured, still in shock at what he had almost done and what Izuku had done to him.

'Deku was holding back in that fight, I could feel it. If he really wanted to he could've fucking smashed my brains in. Do-Does that mean in a one on one fight I would lose? But he's a worthless fucking Deku! A worthless fucking Deku I almost just killed. A worthless Deku I told to jump off a roof. I'm pathetic. Weak. Not even because I lost to Deku. I'm weak.' Bakugou thought, clutching his fists as Izuku walked away, slapping the dial on his chest. In a flash of green light the boy was back to normal.

"I-I used to look up to you, you know? Y-You were so strong and confident. I-I wanted to be you. I-I used to think we were friends….. But not anymore. We're done, Katsuki." Izuku whispered as he walked away, leaving a stunned Bakugou behind him, staring at the vines around him. The blonde boy trembled.

The class let out a sigh of relief that Midoriya wasn't dead. But the class was still in shock at what Bakugou had almost done. This was supposed to be a training exercise and yet… someone almost got murdered.

Izuku walked away as he broke into a run, touching his earpiece as tears flowed down his face.

"I-I captured Bakugou," Izuku said as Ochako's voice rang out in his ear.

"Wh-What was that explosion?" Ochako asked as Izuku turned around another corner.

"B-Bakugou." Izuku said simply as he went up the stairs and down another corridor. He kept running up and through the twisting maze as he found Ochako crouched beside the door near an entrance of a room.

"Hey, Uraraka." Izuku whispered as crouched down beside her. Ochako looked up at him and smiled.

"The weapon is in that room. I heard Lida and Yaoyorozu there. What's the plan?" Ochako asked as Izuku put a finger to his chin.

"I can go XLR8 and sprint in to touch the bomb but I might not get him." Izuku said, wiping the tears from his eyes as Ochako nodded.

"Okay, so what if that happens?" Ochako said as Izuku slammed his fist into his palm as he came up with a plan.

"Depends. But just try to touch one of them to immobilize and I can take care of the other one. Only one of us has to touch it and we'll be golden. We need to be quick. We only have a minute left." Izuku said as he gripped the Omnitrix and scrolled through the selection wheel. He stopped on a face and turned to Ochako.

"Ready?" Izuku asked as she stood up.

"Ready." She replied as Izuku slammed down on the Omnitrix, once again disappearing in a flash of light.

In his place crouching down near the door was a gray, small amphibian creature with wide eyes and square pupils.

"Aw man.." Izuku said, looking down on his hands, disappointed at the mistransformation as an idea suddenly popped into his head.

"Woah! That's a new one!" Ochako said looking at the frog looking creature.

"Run into the room and try to hide me. I'll climb up from the top and touch the bomb. Just distract them. Do whatever you can." Izuku said as Ochako nodded as Izuku climbed onto her leg. Him and her bursted through the door as the villains prepared to fight. Jumping off of Ochako's leg, Izuku stuck to the wall and began to climb up. There seemed to be barricades, but they must've fell off during the huge explosions that Bakugou had let loose as they were on the floor.

"Come and get some!" Ochako yelled as she charged into Momo, trying to touch her. She dodged and held up a metal pole which she used to jab Ochako in the stomach. She groaned as she started to fight Momo.

Ochako got her opening as Momo leaned a bit too far forward, leaving herself open. Ochako sidestepped and put her hand on Momo who started to float up.

Izuku crawled along on the ceiling, trying to hide. He narrowed his eyes and saw Tenya was guarding the bomb. He sneakily crawled and proceeded to leap to the bomb. Tenya spotted him as his eyes widened but it was too late as Izuku's body hit the payload with a loud thwack.

"The Heroes win!" All Might yelled as Izuku groaned from the impact of hitting the bomb. He slid off as the Omnitrix began to flash red.

Beep Beep Bwoo

A red flash enveloped him as he returned to normal, facing a flabbergasted Tenya.

"Hehe, just in the nick of time." Izuku said sheepishly, scratching the back of his head as he let out a sigh of relief. He looked back to see Ochako barfing up her lunch as Momo consoled her.

Back in the monitoring room the class was completely confused at the end of the battle.

"That was…. An interesting way to end things." A boy with a bird for a head, his name being Tokoyami said, scratching his head.

I didn't expect him to go into the small frog form then touch the bomb kero. Thought he would've gone into that Four Arms guy or swamp person thing." The frog girl named Tsuyu said, surprised at the new form Midoriya had shown.

"There wasn't enough time to fight the other team for the bomb, so he went with the smart option.." A boy named Todoroki said as he studied the boy with the watch.

'Just what are Izuku Midoriya?'


After getting out of the building, Izuku and a still stunned Bakugou were escorted to the nurse's office. Bakugou had a lot of bruises and broken ribs which Recovery Girl fixed while Izuku seemed to be relatively unharmed. Still, All Might insisted that he go to make sure everything was fine.

"My, my, how are you not harmed?" Recovery Girl asked as Izuku thought about it.

"W-Well the form I was in could regenerate. I-I just didn't know I could regenerate from a point blank charged explosion." Izuku said as the Recovery Girl sighed.

"If you ever are in a situation where you are sure to be extremely injured, please pick that form. Makes my job a lot easier. Now if only all students here could transform like you, I could have an early retirement. Good job sonny, have a gummy." Recovery Girl handed him a gummy as Izuku made his way to the door to go back to class.

"W-Will he be okay?" Izuku pointed to the sleeping Bakugou on one of the beds in the infirmary. Recovery Girl snorted.

"Kids these days, doubting me. Relax, he'll be fine. Now shoo!" Recovery Girl said as she waved him away. He walked back to the monitoring room as All Might was talking about the results. All Might pointed to a spot next to Ochako and Izuku walked over to go stand next to her

"Now then! Who do you all think is the MVP for this match?" All Might asked the class.

"Well, it'd be Midoriya. He seemed to have a plan and had a form in mind to counter Bakugou. After capturing Bakugou, he rushed to help his teammate and turned into that frog creature and instructed them to distract the team so he could sneak in and touch the bomb. He was only focused on the objective and did not try to muscle his way through because he knew he was disadvantaged." Todoroki said plainly as Izuku began to blush from the praise. All Might stroked his chin and showed a thumbs up.

"Yes! Young Midoriya is our MVP for this battle. You pretty much covered everything but were wrong about a few things. Young Midoriya did not pick that frog form on purpose and was instead planning to turn into his fast form to touch the bomb quickly. That being said, he adapted remarkably and gained his team the win. Take notes on that, no good Pro Hero is a one trick pony, you must always be able to adapt and do new things."

"He seriously winged that last part? Man I would've given up right then and there" Kaminari said as some of the class agreed.

"Do not fret! Young Midoriya is a special case due to the variety of his forms, he could have finished the battle in multiple ways. Some of you do not have that luxury. That being said, onto the next match!" All Might said as Izuku and the others walked to the other students to watch the next match.

The next match ended as quickly as it began, Todoroki basically ended the whole fight with one touch to the wall and ground as the building was enveloped in ice. Izuku's eyes widened.

"He froze the whole building to immobilize the other team and touch the bomb! The amount of control that must've taken must be immense. The fact he didn't see him visibly exhausted must mean his limit is quite high. I wonder what's up with the costume though, why's half his body covered in ice? Is that a cosmetic choice or-" Izuku began to mutter as everyone stared at him. He rubbed his head sheepishly as he stopped.

"Er- Great observations, Midoriya!" All Might said as he was shaking due to the cold because of Todoroki's quirk. It quickly dissipated however as All Might announced that Todoroki's team won.

"Man, that guy's quirk is insane!" Sato said as the other students agreed.

"Yeah… he seems really intimidating." Kaminari said, looking nervous. As Izuku took notes and had to agree. The boy was scary.

The rest of the battles continued afterwards and after All Might dismissed him, he found himself walking to the support wing to see Mei. He felt pretty bad about yesterday since he basically ignored her but he didn't think she'd mind. All she seemed to care about was inventing.

"Hey, Mei." Izuku waved as he came through the door to find Mei hunched over a desk, sketching blueprints for her next invention. Immediately she perked up and smiled widely as she looked at him. There was a bit of grease and oil on her face and her goggles were on.

"Izuku! How's your hero costume!" Mei asked as Izuku grinned.

'"It was awesome! How'd you come up with it? Also, are there any other features, like a death beam or built-in heater I need to worry about?" Izuku asked as Mei tilted her head to the left in confusion.

"Why would I do that? It's just a really durable shirt, relax. When have I ever gone overboard" Mei rolled her eyes as Izuku looked at her apprehensively.

"Mei, I asked you to borrow a pencil sharpener once and you decided to invent a pencil sharpener with the ability to shoot a pressurized air blast out of it. Can't blame me for being cautious." Izuku said as Mei shot a defensive glare at him.

"I didn't invent a pencil sharpener that could shoot a pressurized air blast out of it. I made a gun that could shoot a pressurized air blast out of it that doubled as a pencil sharpener." Mei said matter of factly as Izuku took a seat next to her to look at the newest invention. Ever since they met Izuku had been Mei's straight man to come to every time she had an idea for hero work. Most of the ideas she bounced off of Izuku were either amazing or completely overkill.

"So what are you making?" Izuku asked as he pointed to blueprints and she immediately perked up once again.

"It's a power suit! I'm planning to make it in time for the Sports Festival and show it off to all the support agencies. Then everyone will fund me and I will keep making super cute babies forever with infinite profit!" Mei cackled as Izuku chuckled. It was honestly pretty cute to see Mei nerding about her inventions. Izuku immediately turned bright red as he registered his thoughts.

'Where did that come from?' Izuku thought as he shook his head.

"I'm just glad you didn't make me anything overkill on my costume. I was half expecting you to give me a motorcycle or something." Izuku chuckled as Mei proceeded to flash him a grin. Izuku stopped, knowing what that grin meant.

"Mei, no, don't even think about it," Izuku said as Mei cackled running to the other side of the workshop where there seemed to be some engines.

"Too late!" She said running away as Izuku tried to catch her.

"Mei! I'm fifteen! I can't even drive a motorcycle!" Izuku yelled as Mei laughed some more.


"Sir? You wanted to see me again?" Izuku said, walking into the Principal's office, closing the door. Nezu looked at him, seriously. Izuku sat down, unsure of what was going on.

"Midoriya. We have a situation that can endanger the lives of everyone on this planet. I need your help." Nezu said as Izuku's eyes widened and he began to scroll through the Omnitrix.

'I thought he said I wouldn't be doing anything too important!' Izuku thought as Nezu began to giggle and snort.

"Psyche!" Nezu said in a feminine voice as Nezu morphed into a girl with long blond hair and blue eyes who looked around his age. Izuku began to sputter in confusion.

"Wha-What?!" Izuku yelled as Nezu came out from beneath the desk, also chuckling. Tears began to form on the girl's eyes as she kept laughing at him.

Nezu coughed and began to speak, chuckling a bit still, "Sorry, Midoriya the opportunity had presented itself and I could not resist."

Izuku still looked confused as Nezu began to explain.

"This is Tracy Mann and she will be your partner in future missions." Nezu pointed to the girl with a grin on her face. He recognized that type of grin, he saw it from Mei way too much. He did not like that grin.

"Y-You should've seen your face!" Tracy yelled as she kept laughing as Izuku deadpanned.

"Is it too late to say no to being a Plumber?"

A/N: I really wanted to use Swampfire in this chapter as he is one of my favorite aliens and actually would be a great counter to Bakugou in this exercise. Also, yes I added a descendant of Lucy instead of straight up her, because this story takes place in the future and it wouldn't make sense for her to be still alive.

For all intents and purposes, Tracy is just Lucy with a different name. I really liked her as a character in Omniverse and I needed a partner for Izuku to go on Plumber missions with and she was just the first person to pop in my head.

Next chapter will involve a grocery store and old passed down superstitions.

Until next time.
