Again, this is a spin off story from Apotheosis by Lord Wolfe. All non-cannon to his story. Essentially its an AU. If you wish to read this, I highly suggest you read his story fully so you can understand where this is. At the moment this is chapter is made, there are 31 chapters in his story. As another side note, pairings. I'm thinking about adding one since its an AU but its not set in stone at the moment.
Enjoy!
After getting Mei out of her small shock, they had immediately started with disassembling the robot, its circuitry and its main power core along with connecting wires from the computers to its head to allow it to be powered on. The coding was a tad bit difficult but making adjustments to the original program the other Titans possessed. Mei had surprised Izuku with her bit of coding knowledge, while not as much as him it was a good amount that made him confident in letting Mei make the base while he rewired some parts of the body to make room for any last minute adjustments they might want to add.
'How is she still going?" Izuku thought as he was honestly amazed at the pace Mei went and dedication she had. They made good time and were progressing at a good pace with Mei taking less breaks than him. Her tenacity to inventions was a really good quirk for her, which made Izuku glad that he brought her over to help him out. Looking at the data they were coding in, and the body of the titan he set down two futons, one for him and one for Mei and laid down. A small break wouldn't hurt.
Hours passed, and soon hours turned to days and days turned into a week. At the end of said week Izuku suddenly sat up gasping as he raised his gauntlet up as If expecting an attack. Only to see that he was still in the lab. He groaned and stood from the floor where his futon was and rubbed his eyes a bit with his free hand. "How long was I out?" He asked as he saw Mei still typing on the computer.
"Only for several hours." She said as the sounds of fast typing came from her. "You passed out while we were adding in the basic coding and data." Mei had her goggles on as she stood up and put a data chip into the Titan's head. Its body was still in the table, only it looked like it was torn apart for scraps or spare parts.
"Well, thanks for helping me to my futon then." He said as he went to the fridge and opened it as he saw how bare it was. Getting a can of juice, he turned to her. 'note to self, restock fridge.'
"Oh, I didn't. Your titans did." She said as the pinkette was wielding in a few wires and made sure the hardware was in correctly. "Speaking of which, how long have we been working on this?" She asked as Izuku walked over to his assistant. She turned to him and raised her goggles up to reveal her eyes.
"Gah! Oh my- Mei do you need to rest?" He asked, very worried as he noticed how dark they were. Her eyes were a bit bloodshot as well, and he noticed how her quirk actually helped Mei stay up longer than him.
"What? No I'm fi-"
Thud.
Izuku sighed at the collapsed Mei, "Evidently, you're not." Momentarily setting his beverage aside, he scooped up Mei from the ground. Placing her down on her Futon, intending for the pinkette to get some much-needed sleep. Grabbing his juice, he took a sip to check on the progress the two of them had made. More specifically the coding.
The difference between the weak and strong, the quirk scanning and adapting protocol, and of course the most important thing. The robotic law programs. Something Izuku wanted to make sure it would stay in this program with a bit of tweaks.
To not fatally harm or kill any human beings or allow them to get killed or fatally harmed, to obey his and Mei's orders exclusively unless it goes against the first rule, and finally for it to protect its own existence as long as it doesn't go against the other two rules.
"Those seem good." Izuku said as he kept skimming through the wall of words until he realized something. "Voice… Understanding, smooth but deep… and… hmm prioritize the weak, and finally improve the hero society." He mumbled as he typed that down and entered it in. He watched in wonder as the data all started to get downloaded into a single file which in turn would enter a data chip that would be the mind for this new program. After a while he heard a small snore and turned to see Mei slowly trying to sit up, he went over and placed his free hand on her shoulder to keep her down. "Get some sleep Mei, you did amazing." He said, praising his assistant for helping him. She had a smile on her face and kept her eyes close as she felt him rubbing her shoulder. Soon going back to sleep, content with his words.
Izuku stood back up and yawned. He looked over what happened for the past week. Of course, he didn't stay inside the lab the entire time. He still had his other priorities outside, such as tricking Nedzu and U.A into a false sense of security and got Ilda to accept his offer into becoming one of his knights. He looked to the two titans and spoke up. "Make sure Mei gets the appropriate amount of sleep. If she tries to get up, keep her down gently." He said as he made his way to the door. "Make sure no one comes in besides myself." He said, not wanting anyone to know about this program yet. Besides, he had plans to unveil and let the others see his and Mei's baby.
"….. I need to avoid her for a while." For all intents and purposes, he respected the pinkette and trusted her enough to not betray him. Similarly, to how he trusted Uraraka. But as a fellow inventor she was rubbing off on him.
LATER
It had been a good few hours since he woke up. Izuku's checked on Stains progress, and the rest of his knight's progress actually. "Ochako's been greatly improving with her staff combat, and Toga." He grimaced at the sight of a murdered training dummy. Thinking for a bit a small thought came to mind. "Could it work?" he said to himself as he walked towards the lab. 'Better give it more thought later.' He thought to himself as he entered and saw Mei nursing a cup of coffee in her hands while sitting at the comfortable chair with a blanket around her. Her eyes were normal with a bit of dark under them as she was still resting. "Mei had a nice nap?"
"Yeah, the best in a while actually." She said as she took a sip from her cup. "So, what will we call this baby when it's done anyway?" She asked as she looked at the metal body on the table. She was very eager to put it back together and add a few more features.
"Well, that's a pretty good question." Izuku responded as he was about to wave his gauntlet to put the titan together but looking at Mei. Maybe adding a few more improvements could work out well. "Its mostly going to help clean up the crime in any remaining areas. Of course, not alone, that's what heroes are for." He knew heroes out there would be doing more than just finding the next big fight, but for those who were and only wanted to show off their powers and strengths by slugging fists. This invention will minimize that by a lot. "Maybe… hmmm." He would have to think of a name later. For now, improvements would be needed. "Well, wanna get started?"
CRASH!
"YES YES YES!" Mei got up and tossed aside the blanket and grabbed a few tools with stars in her eyes. She had thrown the coffee cup aside while getting ready to work. "Think we can add in some of my babies to this one? It could really help!" Izuku gave it a bit of thought before he nodded. "Great! I had a few brought over here that I could work into it!"
"Well then, let's get started, shall we?" Izuku said as he got ready to help with the reassembly. It has been a while since he's actually built something with his bare hands. Granted ones covered by an extremely powerful gauntlet, but hey it's the nostalgia that counts.
LATER
The process of upgrading the original titan robot was much more complicated than they had initially thought, but it was welcomed. Mei had integrated a few of her inventions into it, from her Hydraulic Bracers, to the Hover soles that Izuku helped upgrade a bit. "Now that I think of it. None of the other titans have any flight abilities. Only grappling tethers. But this one doesn't." He said as flight heroes while rare, can be a bit hard to catch should the need to get them arise. Endeavor could fly but was an easy target due to his size. They didn't want this to be lethal, so the fists were cushioned with some pads that boxers use only much more enforced.
"This is going to be amazing! So many additions!" She said exited as if it was Christmas. Izuku smiled at that, sure this was for his own gain but seeing his acquaintances.
'No… She, and Ochako are friends.' He was caught in this thought. Did he technically have friends? One would think Uraraka was, but he did so much for her to help her become the ideal hero in the new hero society. He merely presumed that it was devotion and admiration rather than an authentic friendship. 'No time to think about that. "Well Mei, you ready to turn it on?" He asked as Mei was finishing in wielding the metal plating on. It was made with a slighter stronger metal than it had before. With so many complex gadgets, tools and programs at its disposal it did need a strong shell to protect it all.
"Yeah just done here!" She said as she lifted her goggles up. A week and a few days with materials they had in the lab helped crunch time down. Of course, this wasn't without flaws. It was still a prototype and if any errors occurred both had a shutdown switch to deactivate it. She stood by and the table started to tilt up to let the two inventors marvel at the ten-foot-tall, now silver body of the Titan prototype. Izuku noticed the look in Mei's eyes and handed her the remote to activate it. She gasped but smiled brightly as she took it from him and pressed the button, not before asking Izuku something. "What did you name it then?" The hum of the computers started. The wires all connected to the head of the titan sparked a bit as they looked at the robot's head.
"I'll call it." Its eyes suddenly turned from empty black to a glowing a dark green that stared down at the two teens, signifying its activation.
"Kiyomeru."
Before you go off and wonder what 'powers' it will have, it's a mix of its original tools and items it had, and others that Mei made from the show (Only it won't blow up).
And no this creation will not have its own gauntlet, that's only for Izuku, this is more of a Ultron like character, only with its own small twist. Not gonnna spoil anything else on what it can do, but when this thing is going against other characters its going to get intense. I'm also not a master at writing fight scenes but this could work as good practice.
