Chapter 4
Bj manifested himself in front of the screen with a new tape in hand. But before placing it inside, he had a small announcement to give.
"Alright everyone, I'm sure some of you may become overwhelmed with the universes you'll have to see. So I have decided that after 2 or 3 more we will have a short intermission so that you all may have a break. That sound alright?" He asked, receiving a near unanimous agreement among everyone.
While yes, all they were doing was just sitting down and watching stuff, they needed a break after seeing the once meek and quiet Midoriya in multiple crazy situations and worlds.
Nodding, Bj slipped in the new tape before disappearing. This one weirdly titled, 'Dekuman: Episode 1'.
A title card popped up on the screen, showing Izuku and All Might holding onto each other in panic as something fang-like approaches. On the fangs were words spelling out the title of the episode.
'The Beginning and End of Dekuman'
"Dekuman? What kind of name is that?" Mineta questioned.
Kaminari shrugged. "Who knows. I'm more curious about this title card thingy."
"Yeah. What is this supposed to be? Some kind of tv show?"
We cut in on both Izuku and All Might tied up and hung over a large mechanical pit, a corrosive pool of liquid bubbling at the bottom to truly show the peril the two were in. Both were in their hero apparel, though Dekuman now dawned his mask along with a new red scarf.
Smiling off to the side was a purple-haired man whose hair stuck up in a long tube in the air, similar to Marge from the Simpsons. His left hand also appears to be a robotic claw replacement. A narrator suddenly gives off a rather dramatic opening.
"When last we left Dekuman and All Might-Man, they were trapped in Dr. Bomb's cruel clutches! Now as our story continues, can they possibly survive?"
No one was sure what to think, seeing as they were already thrusted into conflict. Eri however was noticeably worried about Deku and wondered how will he get out of this one. She hoped that he will be alright.
"Momentarily the moment of your destruction will imminently commence, at the destructive hands of... Dr. Bomb!" The purple-haired man, now known as Dr. Bomb, said dramatically.
"... What did he say?" Mina asked out loud, voicing the thoughts of almost everyone there.
"I am... not very sure." Yaoyorozu stated.
Dekuman quirked an eyebrow, clearly confused by the evil doctors statement. "Right... Well uh, good luck with all that... whatever you said. All Might did you get any of that?"
"It seems he's planning on lowering us into this ominous-looking pit here." All Might-Man answered.
"Psh! Cliche." Dekuman scoffed at the notion. "How did we get up here anyway? I don't even remember him capturing us."
"Do either of them care for their own lives?" Jirou asked.
Tsuyu shrugged. "Hard to say. Although, it is pretty hard to take a villain with the name, 'Dr. Bomb', seriously."
"Good point. He sounds like a recurring villain on some kind of Saturday morning cartoon."
"I'd wager the shows writers wanted to start this episode off mid adventure. It's a writing technique called, 'in medias res'."
"In med... wha wha?" Dekuman said, not understanding one bit what the word meant.
"I think it's Latin for... 'skip the boring parts'."
This earned a laugh from most of the room. Despite it starting off semi seriously, it quickly devolved into a light-hearted comedy.
"Wait, did he just say episode and writers? Do they know their in a show or something?" Sato questioned.
Todoroki shrugged. "Probably."
"Enough!" Dr. Bomb suddenly shouted, gaining the attention of our two heroes as he gripped a rather large lever. "Now is the most timely time of your doom. With the pulling of the lever, down, the down most depth." He said before pulling the lever down, a huge grin on his face.
Everyone was slightly tense as they watch the man pull the lever. Despite the seemingly comedic tone at the beginning, they didn't know if it was going to take a drastic turn all of a sudden. Like that first one they saw.
Dekuman and All Might-Man were befuddled as they have not moved an inch. All that seemed to happen was that the lights flicked for a second.
"Huh?! The hated heroes remain vertically unchanged?!" Dr. Bomb said in surprise, unsure as to what had went wrong.
"Well, that's embarrassing." Dekuman chuckled a bit.
Uraraka let out a breath she didn't know she was holding, thankful that Deku was ok. She wasn't sure if she could handle another 'Deku dies' universe.
"Hey, boss! You pulled the wrong lever. That was the escalator control." The pit suddenly spoke, now revealing the face on the other side.
"What?" Looking behind himself, Dr. Bomb sees the stairs he used to walk up to the platform were now moving down. He slaps the lever from before back up in frustration. "Improbably pointless. Where is the lever to be pulled for downing hated foes?"
Powerloader couldn't help but think of Hatsume as he hears the pit speak about having an escalator control. The entire mechanical pit just seemed like something she would be crazy enough to want to make. Looking over to her, he already sees her jotting down the mechanical pit in her notebook and ideas for her own.
"Didn't you read the manual?! There's a-" The pit tried to explain before being cut off.
"Ba ba ba ba ba! An intelligent genius such as Dr. Bomb, needs no manuals." We see grab hold of another lever and pull it down, only to find no reaction. He shouts in anger as he beats on the lever panel.
"For being a supposed intelligent genius, this guy is kind of an idiot." Sero commented.
The pit couldn't help but groan in frustration. "I'm really sorry about the wait fellas. I'm sure we'll get this figured out eventually."
"Well you better. 'Cause by now I was supposed to be flashing back to my origin story as I face certain doom." Dekuman pointed out.
"Oooh, an origin story? So we're going to learn about Midoriya's past and how he became a hero?"
All Might and Bakugou were both nervous at the thought, All Might from the possibility of One for All being revealed, and Bakugou from his history with Izuku being revealed. Although this was a different universe, they still weren't sure just how different.
For all they know, the only difference was that Dr. Bomb was apparently a thing.
"Oh yeah? Is it riveting?"
Dekuman scoffed. "The rivetiest."
"And now, the origin of Dekuman!" The narrator said. We see Izuku casually walking on the sidewalk, bag in hand and smile on his face, not having a care in the world. "Our hero was once just a common high schooler. Until-" Suddenly, something crashed right in front of Izuku, knocking the boy to the side and creating a crater.
As the dust settles, a buff man stands up, huge grin on his face as he looks down at Izuku. He introduces himself. "I am All Might-Man. An alien from the planet All Might."
Nearly everyone deadpanned at the redundancy of All Mights name, said hero looking off to the side in embarrassment, and slight relief that this was certainly not how the two actually met. Fortunately, Izuku was able to voice their thoughts shortly afterward.
"Well that's... redundant." Izuku said as he stood back up.
"I have traveled across countless galaxies, and braved the dangers of the cosmos, to bring you some super secret awesome space stuff." All Might-Man said as he pressed his massive finger against Izuku's chest.
"Um... sure?" Despite being completely and utterly confused by these sudden events, Izuku thought, why not accept some secret items from an alien, that sounded like a reasonable choice. All Might-Man kneels down as three bright objects fly out of his hands and into Izuku's.
"The alien All Might-Man, entrusts this mere human with 3 powerful items. A metal rod, a tuning fork, and a 100 yen coin." The narrator explained as Izuku looked down at said objects.
'Really? That's the super secret awesome space stuff he was talking about?' Bakugou wondered. 'What a load of *bleep*'
He froze as he ran though multiple swears in his head, only to hear the same loud bleeping each time.
"God *bleep* you're bleeping my thoughts too?!" He shouted at seemingly no one, only receiving a cheeky chuckle in return.
"What is this? Junk you keep in your glove box?" Izuku asked in annoyance.
"Junk I keep in my space glove box." All Might-Man emphasized, not noticing Izuku's irritated tone.
Kirishima shook his head in disappointment. "Like that's any better."
Izuku rolled his eyes. "Oh yay... Well thanks. I gotta be-"
"But suddenly, an amazing event occurred!" We see the three objects fly out of Izuku's hand and surrounds him, causing him to float into the air. In a bright flash, Izuku is suddenly in his hero costume, along with a red flowing scarf. He slowly floats back down down to the ground and poses dramatically to no one in particular. "A new hero is born... Somehow! Dekuman, Super Unequaled Hero of Excellence!"
Everyone was speechless at the sight, unsure as to what happened and how. The only one who wasn't was actually Eri, who was more amazed if anything. Watching Deku transform into a hero was a spectacle for her, and she was excited to see more.
"Yup, that's how it all happened." Dekuman said as the story concluded.
"An epic tale indeed." All Might-Man quipped.
The mechanical pit however, was less than impressed. "You got superpowers from holding random items? That doesn't make sense!"
"You don't make sense!" Dekuman shouted back. "You just a one-off incidental character. I bet you don't even have an origin story."
"Ok, there's no doubt about it." Sato commented. "These guys know that this is some kind of tv show."
Jirou nodded. "Yeah. I'd say it's more than probable at this point."
"Oh but I do. I was once just an ordinary pit, until one day, when I was suddenly bitten by a radioactive-"
"Lies! Such exaggerations!" Dr. Bomb shouted as he held up a magazine with robots on the cover. "You were ordered from the 'Inconceivable robots' Summer catalog. You know this truth to be true!"
Hatsume could be seen drooling at the sight of the magazine, wishing to own a copy for herself. If only it existed in their own universe. Perhaps if she asked Bj later he'll get her a copy.
"Oh come on boss. I'm trying to impress these guys!"
"Enough chatter chittering welps!" Dr. Bomb pressed a red button that happened to be on the panel. Red means death right? It had to be the right one.
Before they knew it, Dekuman and All Might-Man began to shake intensively, neither understanding what was happening. They started rocking back and forth as the shaking continued to intensify. Both were nervous to what the outcome will be.
Suddenly, there was a flash, and Dr. Bomb was now hung up over the mechanical pit instead of Dekuman and All Might. "Wha?!" He said in shock.
"Ok, how in the world did that happen?" Kaminari asked out loud, voicing his small frustration. No one really had an answer, as they were all just as surprised as Kaminari was.
We see Dekuman and All Might now at the control panel, completely fine. "Woah! How did that happen?" Dekuman wondered out loud.
"Perhaps there's a, rarely used, 'switch places with your nemesis' button." All Might-Man commented.
"You're right. Here it is!" Dekuman said in excitement, close to pushing the button himself. Until All Might blocked him from it, knowing that doing so will only bring them back t point one.
"Don't push that."
"Fine." Dekuman said in disappointment.
"Who on earth would even make anything like th-" Yaoyorozu started before hearing the mumblings of one Mei Hatsume. She was once again writing down in her notebook.
"Absolutely genius. So if I reroute the wiring, fix up the my own self running generator, then I may just be able to..." They all heard, as she was off in her own world.
"You will release me right this instance of seconds!" Dr. Bomb demanded.
Dekuman looked up at Dr. Bomb. "Hey, by the way doc? Did you ever try this button with the big arrow pointing down?" He asked, pointing at said button.
"... How did he miss that?" Eri asked, voicing out everyone's thoughts as they see the button.
"Oh, that button pressing is for the playing of mp3's." Dr. Bomb casually stated. "Yes, to 'get down' as the children of youth sing."
Jirou deadpanned at the words, feeling them hit her in particular, seeing as she was the most musically inclined in the room.
"Oh, ok. Well I guess we're off then." Dekuman said with a shrug as he and All Might finally make their way out, leaving the doctor tied up. Suddenly, Dekuman's hand stretches up to the panel and pushes the button with the downward arrow. "Let's press it anyway."
Dr. Bomb lets out a shout as he is suddenly lowered down into the pit, cutting to black.
While some were a little caught off guard with how Izuku had supposedly caused a mans possible death, most couldn't help but laugh at the situation. Besides, from the episode tone, it was most likely that that guy was fine.
Out of everyone in the room, none were more entertained than Eri. She wondered if there were more episodes to be seen, or even merch she could wear. A tv show about her hero Deku and his rise as a hero sounded like the best thing ever.
Imagine if a show like that actually existed.
AN: Come on, you should have seen this coming.
