So, I am not having a good start to 2023. Finally got COVID for the first time. And yes, I am fully vaccinated. Damn, it still got me. Thankfully it wasn't that bad, but I was bedridden for a few days. But I guess there was a benefit. I was able to work on this chapter during quarantine, so I guess something good came out of it. Actually, I finished this chapter last Friday, but I like to have a few friends read it over first so, obviously, I didn't post it then. I also figured if I waited another week then maybe I'd get ahead on the next part. Now, don't get used to a faster upload schedule. I'm sure some of the upcoming chapters are gonna hold me up for a while. There are some big things coming! Just wait and see.
*BR-FACT (provided by RAY ETHAN)* - Wildmutt's name is both a joke and yet still creative. That name being "Besta." Which can have several translations such as "Indomable Beast, Wild Animal, Monster, Creature." But it can also translate to "Stupid, Dumb, or Low Intelligent Person." So, this name/word speaks both about Wildmutt's, or rather Besta's, animalistic instincts AND his low IQ!

"RAAAAAA...!"
Even through this thick dark forest, the ringing of distant roars catches his ears. And he peers over the tree line into the distance past the glow of azure flames and the dissipating purple smog.
"Sounds like everyone's having fun out there." He growls, remaining surprisedly patient.
He wipes the blood off his hands while Kurogiri prepares to take his leave through a waiting Warp Gate.
The shadow master waits for him to follow but when he doesn't join his side, he becomes concerned. "Don't do anything rash." He warns, his yellow eyes narrowing dangerously.
"Don't worry. I'll play nice."
Kurogiri eyes him warily for a moment before contemplating to himself. "You are not a pawn…"
He blinks back in confusion, not sure of what Kurogiri's talking about.
"You are a powerful asset that we can rely on." Kurogiri explains. "And we cannot risk losing either you or me in this operation. We are to stick to Shigaraki's plan."
"Yeah. The Plan. Don't worry, I know my role." Which is staying back and only to provide support incase those bastards fuck up.
"We all have a role." Kurogiri explains before he stops to consider a potentially bad idea. An idea that could potentially be catastrophic or perhaps be just the right amount of chaos to ensure the plan's…to ensure Shigaraki's plan's overall success. "I still have one more to fulfill. So, I trust you won't make too much of a ruckus while I'm gone."
It takes him a second to understand what Kurogiri means until he watches the shadow man approach the portal without him. "Really? You're letting me off the leash?" Not that he's complaining but he has to wonder. "I thought we were just supposed to be the backup on this one?"
"We are. But we can still play an active role." Kurogiri peers back at him and warns. "You have until I return."
The Warp Gate washes over the shadow man, transporting him away and leaving him to his own devices.
"Ehehehehe." With a grin, he turns facing the direction of the distant roars. "Then I'll have to make the most of it."

Ch.73 Monsters in the Dark
TEN MINUTES EARLIER
{"Everyone! Two villains attacked us."} Mandalay's Telepathic voice rings out in a panic all through the woods, alerting everyone to the danger. {"It's possible there are more coming. Everyone, return to camp immediately. We're regrouping. Do not engage any enemies."}
Unfortunately, it's unavoidable for some of them, Tsuyu Asui thinks as she and Ochaco have already encountered another villain. "Ochaco, is your arm, okay?"
Ochaco Uraraka winces, standing beside her while holding her bleeding left arm. A nasty gauge has been sliced through her sleeve and skin, causing it to bleed but thankfully it's nothing that severe. "Yeah, I'm fine. It's just a scratch."
"Mm…Hm." A Blonde girl in a school uniform and a bane-like mask is blocking their path. But she doesn't seem that interested in them yet, instead her feline-like eyes are intensely focused on the thin splashes of blood staining her knife. "Shallow. Not much blood."
Tsuyu grimaces at the remarks. "What kind of person slashes people out of nowhere? Just who do you think you are?"
"I'm Toga~." Himiko Toga happily announces while pointing the knife back at them. "Jeez, you two are super cute. Uraraka and Asui." Her knife points from one to the other as she says their names, putting both on edge.
Especially, Ochaco. "How does she know who we are?"
"Maybe from the sports fest?" Tsuyu offers. "We know nothing about her, so we're at a disadvantage. Stay on guard"
"There's not enough blood." Toga reaches behind her head, specially, the back of her large loose black mask she wears around her neck, which is decorated with pieces of pale metal in the shape of a carnivorous grin. "Normally I'd suck it directly from the cut to make it flow, but there's no time." She presents a metal cylinder that's attached to a thin tube leading to a strange machine strapped to her back. "Don't worry, girls. This machine will start pumping it out as soon as I stick it in you." With a press a sharp long syringe pops out from the cylinder like a hidden dagger. "I'll get my fill and move on. Who's first?" Impatient for an answer, the villainess charges, knife and syringe in hand and ready to draw blood.
Ochaco gasps in surprise, but soon steels herself. Not one to roll over, she gets ready to charge in herself before Tsuyu's long tongue wraps around her waist and hoists her away!
"Ochaco!" In a panic, Tsuyu lifts her away and tosses her as far as she can. "You have to get back to camp! Just like Mandalay said! We're not supposed to engage the villains!"
"Tsu, come on!"
"I'll be right behind you!" Tsuyu releases her, letting Ochaco fly off just as she herself turns to face the villain.
She turns back in time to find Toga's knife just inches from her face.
She only has a second to react, parrying the knife away with her tongue. Unfortunately, cutting it in the process causing blood to gush out.
"Tsu?" Toga comes to a stop and despite the mask over her face Tsuyu can see the hints of a blush forming on the girl's face. "Tsu~."
"Kero…"
"What a cute nickname~." Toga gushes, pulling down her pipe-lined mask to reveal an almost deceptively cute grin even with her fangs and blushing expression. "I think I'll call you that, too!"
"No, you won't! Don't even think about it! Only my friends get to call me that!" Tsuyu tries to hop away, hoping to escape too.
But Toga's reflexes are too fast as she throws the syringe which catches the braid in Tsuyu's hair and pins her against a tree much to Tsuyu's dismay but Toga's delight. "Yay! That means I must be your friend, too! Hahahaha!"
"I'm coming!" Ochaco rushes in after landing far off thanks to Tsuyu's throw.
But she's too far, giving Toga enough time to lean over the defenseless frog. "Aw, you're bleeding, Tsu~. You couldn't be more adorable~. I just love blood." Toga blushes with extasy, leaning in closer towards the blood leaking out from the corner of Tsuyu's lips. "We're gonna be such good friends~."
"Get away from her!" Ochaco's body roars with pink energy as OFA surges forth.
But a sharp pain in her thigh cuts off her focus, and forces to one knee. Peering down she finds that Toga launched one of the syringes at her.
It's pierced her thigh and even though it's still been lodged in for a brief second, it's already pumping away at her blood, she can see it flowing down the thin tube quickly like a robotic mosquito.
"Ochaco!" Tsuyu screams, while still trying to wiggle her head free.
Whereas Toga is literally jumping for joy. "Yay! That's it! Adorable~!"
Ochaco quickly slaps the syringe away, snapping it.
But despite that Toga seems delighted with the results. "Wow~. These really do work. It was only in there for a moment, but I have so much blood now~. Yay!"
"You're insane!"
"Hehehe~." Toga's blush turns a brighter shade of red
"Listen! You don't want to fight me." Ochaco warns, letting her fists glow pink.
"Oh~?"
"If you did see us in the Sports Festival. Then you have to know what I'm capable of. Do you really think you can stand up to me alone?"
"No~. Of course, not silly~!" Toga's eyes flash dangerously like a feral feline that's discovered a new bloody toy. "That's why I brought a friend too~."
"What?!"
On cue, a mysterious cloud of sparkling purple pixie dust slowly rains down from above, coating this entire section of the forest path like a mystical fog.
The pixie dust is almost mesmerizing but just as the sparkling dust touches the trees and dirt it sets off a chain reaction of small fiery explosions. The chain of explosions swallow Ochaco up, knocking her around as a chain of chemical reactions warps and twists the nearby trees an earth to a violet palette with macabre allure.
It's like this section of woods was transported away to an entirely different realm. Every tree and plant are unrecognizable, each one bending and twisting like a Dr. Seuss drawing but with a lean towards the horror genre and an affinity to the color purple.
"Ochaco!" Tsuyu screams watching as the trees bend and twist unnaturally like they've been cursed and manipulated.
The pixie dust soon fades away and the miniature explosions come to an end, much to Ochaco's relief.
She collapses against the now violet colored earth; her body aching all over with small burns and bruises. She struggles to get up, her eyes burning from the searing dust. "What…was that?" That dust seemed…familiar?
A familiar venomously sarcastic voice hums in the air causing Ochaco's breath to hitch. "Sorry, but did I steal your spotlight? My bad. But then again, you were acting so immature. Look at you. Sprawled on the ground, covered in dirt, and bleeding. After talking such big game."
Ochaco's head snaps up in shock to find another teen with long silver hair, and amethyst eyes. Wearing a magenta coat with purple trims and dark purple latex pants and boots. All the while a monstrous-looking purple bag with the zipper acting as a mouth and loose buttons as eyes is strapped to her waist.
"I can't believe I ever lost to a Little Girl like you." The older teen smirks as she remains perched upon one of the now twisted trees, having been warped and bent to look like a brown and purple candy cane that's been twisted around.
Ochaco gasps. "Ch-Charmcaster?!"
"Hoho, the Princess of U.A. remembers me." The Charmcaster sarcastically teases. "I'm sooo honored. Oh, a lowly witch like me is nothing compared to you."
"Why are you here?! What's your game?!"
"My game? Hehe." She reaches through the purse's mouth and juggles out a number of clay figures. "It's nothing that complicated." She explains while lazily letting the figures fall from her fingers and tumble down to the ground. "The League of Villains wanted some good old fashion payback on the kids that humiliated them. And so do I."
From the ground where the clay figures fell the ground shifts and contorts as large golem-like creatures sprout forth. With purple runes lining their bulky gorilla-like frames.
Ochaco scampers to her feet, quickly backing away from the monsters.
"What's the matter, brave hero?" Charmcaster teases, as her new and improved Golems come to life. "Can't you handle a little witch like me?! Ehehehehe!"
Meanwhile, someone else is facing their own troubles. Specifically, Kraab he's been constantly on the move since splitting from Deku, but his trip has not been going well. Why?
[Artwork: "Kraab" by Voidv25 on Deviantart]
"Curse, these little legs! They're useless!" Kraab screams, mostly to himself as he continues to run.
Or rather scuttle across the ground. Thanks to Melissa Shield's upgrades he can move but now he has to scuttle across the ground like a real crab, walking along sideways with his pincers up.
"I'm glad I can move around on my own, but this is ridiculous! A Gatlian can outrun me! Was it too much to give me a rocket booster? Or a grapple?! Seriously?! Anything would have been nice!"
He must not just be complaining to himself as the faintest sense of being watched sets over him. Being an ex-bounty hunter he's more sensitive to these things, going on high alert.
"What? Who's there?!" He calls out, pincers raised towards the pitch-black darkness of the forest. "I know you're there! I know when I'm being hunted! Now come out and face me like a crustacean!"
But there's no response.
No movement.
No presence.
Perhaps he's just going paranoid? Maybe the fact that there's a number of unknown assailants is getting to him?
And so Kraab continues on his way, but he doesn't make it a few steps before his own shadow launches up and snatches him away into the woods. "Aaaahh!"
{"Everyone in Class A And Class B!"} Mandalay's Telepathic message calls out again into the valley. {"In the name of the pro hero, Eraserhead, you are granted permission to engage in combat! I repeat. Use your training. You may fight these villains!"}
"Mr. Aizawa said that?!" Tsuyu gasps between pulling on her hair but the syringe is still keeping it pinned to the tree.
Toga giggles in delight, having heard the announcement as well. "Does that mean you'll stay and play with us?! Huh, Tsu~?!"
"Stay away from her!" Ochaco screams, zipping past the gorilla-like golems like a pink blurr.
Toga's eyes narrow, flashing dangerously like a cat's before leaping away. And just in time as the pink blur, that is a glowing Ochaco, rips Tsuyu free and dashes away.
Meanwhile, Mandalay's Telepathic call continues. {"Listen, we've discovered two of the villains' targets! One is Ochaco Uraraka. And the other student's named Kacchan."}
Ochaco and Tsuyu slide to a stop, both stupefied by the news.
{"Uraraka. Kacchan. You should try to avoid combat. And stick to a group. I hope you both can hear me!"}
"You're all really after Ochaco?!" Tsuyu gasps.
From atop her perch, Charmcaster seems hesitant to answer, averting her gaze before coming to a decision. "Of course. It's like I said. I want payback!" Grabbing a pair of knives entwined with a feather each, Charmcaster's Alchemy dusts over them as she launches them forward.
The knives and feathers emerge from the sparkling dust cloud like flying razorblades, shooting through the air at blinding speed.
Ochaco grabs Tsuyu before throwing them both to the ground letting the ethereal-looking blades slice fast the overhanging warped branches and roots. "Tsu! Are you okay?!"
"I'm fine. Kero."
"Well, you won't be for long. Crush them!" Charmcaster screams from atop as her minions sets themselves upon the girls.
The hulking golems are only six feet tall with stubby legs and thick frames, it's almost cartoonish but their strength speaks for itself as they easily shove and crash their way through the transmuted forest.
With a chorus of growls and snarls the purple-clay Golems attack. Throwing slashes and fists at the girls, who respond in kind.
Tsuyu manages to kick one in the chest, launching it back and into its brother; both crumbling away to rubble.
While Ochaco manages to leap back as another Golem swings its fists down in an attempt to crush her. With its arms down she slaps its arm making it float in the air.
As the first Golem floats upward another Golem charges only to be crushed when Ochaco releases her Zero-Gravity on the first.
"You stupid monstrosities!" Charmcaster screams before throwing out more of the tiny clay figures. "There's only two of them!"
Tsuyu bounces off one Golem's head and to the next before landing beside Ochaco.
"What are these things?!"
"They're golems!" Ochaco explains while managing to cripple another one by floating it up and dropping it. "Stupid clay golems! But they used to be smaller! And…cuter in that scary kinda way."
"You like 'em, Uravity?" Charmcaster calls out while still watching from her perch upon the highest warped-tree. "These are my new and improved minions." She holds up another clay figure and looking closely one can see bits of animal fur mixed in said clay and stone. "Dr. Animo hooked me up with some gorilla DNA which makes for some powerful foot soldiers!"
"Powerful?" Ochaco scoffs as she crushes one of the soldiers under her glowing fist. "They still break the same!"
"Grrr. Crush them!" Charmcaster shrieks.
"Grrrr!" Her wish is their command as her minions set after the girls once again.
Tsuyu lashes up one of the golems in her tongue before swinging around into another squad, crushing them all. "She really doesn't like you." She comments, long tongue sticking out, back at Ochaco,
Ochaco fist's smashes straight into a golem's chest before it explodes in a flash of pink light. "Yeah, well I nearly got her arrested during my internship. But that was after she betrayed my trust! And lied to me about her evil Uncle!" She shouts the last part, loud enough for Charmcaster to hear.
But instead, someone else was listening in.
"Oooh~. Tell me more!" Toga suddenly appears from seemingly thin air, her face still flushed with red even while she's thrusting her knife at the girls. "I wanna hear about Charm-chan too~!"
"Ochaco!" Tsuyu's tongue grabs Ochaco and swings her away before she herself hops after her. "Stay away from her! Leave us alone! Kero!"
"Heheheh~." Toga slips back between the warped-branches.
Thinking she can take out the villain, Tsuyu chases her, hopping over a downed warped-tree only to find nobody on the other side. "Where'd she-"
"Grrrr!" From behind one of Charmcaster's Golems attacks but it gets blasted to dust as Ochaco smashes down on it from above.
"Tsu! What happened?!"
"The villain, Toga, she's gone!"
"What?!" Ochaco scans the warped forest but there's no trace of the assassin. 'Does she have some kind of vanishing Quirk?'
"Grrr!" More Golems attack but they don't stand a chance against an angry Ochaco's Ryou Spheres.
They fall one after the other, crumbling away under the power of the energy projectiles. Blasted apart to sand and rubble that float in the air, hindering the view of the other incoming enemies.
All except Charmcaster who refuses to come down from her perch. "You've gotten really good with that move." She stretches her hand over the side allowing her Alchemy Quirk to wash over the forest floor. "But I learned some new tricks of my own!"
From below the pixiedust engulfs the already warped roots, they twist and bend before lashing out like purple-striped tentacles.
The living tentacles nearly grab Ochaco, but she ducks, and dodges even punches a few away with OFA.
Tsuyu does her best to help as well, hopping over the tentacles, using her tongue to grab one and lash it around another, binding them together in a knot.
But there's too many, the tree sized tendrils overwhelm Ochaco, wrapping around her and binding her in place despite her struggling.
"I have her!" Charmcaster calls out. "Take her out! Now!"
"Yay!" Like a serpent taking to jungle vines, Toga springs upon the tentacles, running across them with a knife and syringe in hand. "Let's be friends, kay~?! So, share your blood!"
"No thanks! I don't like to share!" Ochaco's body explodes with OFA, generating a Zero-Gravity sphere around her like a bubble. The force of which shreds the tentacles apart before the bubble implodes and blasts Toga and her weapons away.
"Hey, that was mean!" Toga pouts, waving her arms in the air in annoyance.
"Kero!"
Toga's eyes shoot open to find a golem being flung right at her by a long pink tongue.
"Woah!" She jumps away, falling backwards into the warped-trees before the golem smashes into her previously occupied spot.
After tumbling away, Tsuyu hops onto the scene and quickly scans for the villain. "She's gone."
Ochaco growls in annoyance. "How does she keep doing that?"
Seeing an opportunity, Tsuyu grabs her hand and pulls, forcing both of them to sprint away. "Quick. We need to get out of here while we can!"
Ochaco nods and they go. With one villain doing a disappearing act and the other leading an army of monsters, it's best to escape and get help.
"Wait!" Toga leaps out from the front, ambushing them and jabbing her knife at their heads. "I wanna get to know you both some more!"
The girls barely have time to dodge the incoming knife. Tsuyu even swatted Toga away as the two slid to a stop along another downed warped-tree.
But before they can make another move, they find themselves cornered. Every angle is a web of warped purple-branches and roots, and in that web crawl out an entire squadron of gorilla Golems; all snarling and growling at them with rabid ferocity.
"We're surrounded!"
"Hehehe~" Toga stalks out from behind the army, somehow having circled all the way back around the forest in order to greet them. "You're both so cool~. I…love it~."
Ochaco balks at Toga's deranged expression, the way her fangs glisten and the way her eyes are a mix of insanity and bloodlust are too upsetting. They need to escape but with all directions blockaded there's only one way to go.
"Tsu! Hold on to me and don't let go!" Pressing a hand to Tsuyu's back and to herself, Ochaco's fingers glow before they both begin to float up into the air.
Realizing where this is going, Tsuyu quickly wraps her tongue around Ochaco's waist just as the gravity girl unleashes a devastating midair punch right towards the ground.
The simple swing of her fist, combined with the power of OFA, generates a whirlwind that rockets them both up high. Far away from the Golem army's reach and Toga's knives.
"No! Don't go! I haven't collected enough blood yet! Come back!"
Charmcaster sees this and quickly reaches into her purse for supplies. "They're not going anywhere."
From her purse she procures a collection of gloves entwined with feathers and painted with a variety of unrecognizable chemicals.
"Let's give my Mage Claws a try."
Throwing them up in a cloud of pixie dust, Charmcaster's Alchemy transmutes the items until a squad of levitating claws spring out from the mist.
It's like a squadron of living Victorian-styled gloves have come to life. Tainted in dark colors and purple glowing runes, the 4-feet big claws tear through the sky in order to get their clutches on the innocent heroes.
Gasping in surprise, Ochaco kicks in the air. Propelling her and Tsuyu away but the Mage Claws change course and continue the chase. Off they go zipping through the air, making a beeline for Ochaco and Tsuyu no matter how much Ochaco redirects them.
She swerves and dives, even blasting a few out of the sky with Ryou Spheres as Tsuyu lashes back, whipping them out of the air with her tongue and well-timed kicks.
All throughout the girls hold onto each other, not willing to risk being separated. Not wanting to leave the other behind. No matter what.
But this is their downfall as one of the Mage Claws slips past their maneuvers and latches onto Ochaco's leg slowing her down.
"No!"
"Hang on Ochaco!" Tsuyu swings over in an attempt to pry the flying glove away, but another Mage Claw grabs her by the arm and yanks her away. "No! Let go!"
Ochaco tries to pull her friend free. "Tsu! We have-Hmpf!" A Claw latches onto the back of her head, its long finger draping over her mouth and shutting it.
More of the Mage Claws swarm in, latching on wherever they can and weigh the girls down.
"Did you really think it'd be that easy?!" Charmcaster shouts, looking on with vile glee in her eyes. "I told you, this is payback!" Throwing up tubes of chemicals into the air, her Alchemy Quirk washes over them leaving behind a set of thin floating masses of glowing amethyst-crystals. "This is for standing in my way, URAVITY!"
The narrow clouds compact and fire out like amethyst missiles, swerving and snaking in the air like magical comets, and coming from all sides before imploding upon impact.
"AAAAaahhhhh!" Ochaco and Tsuyu cry out as they and the Mage Claws are caught in an explosion of sparkling purple fire and smoke.
All the while Charmcaster, Toga, and their minions watch on with ecstasy. Their vile eyes shining under the brilliant show of fireworks above.
"Goodbye, Little Girl."
It's dark. Pitch black. He can't see or feel anything. It's like the shadows themselves have swallowed him up. He can't even see his pincers in front of his face. But he knows they're there. He knows that someone or something is moving him around, dragging him through the forest and blazing speed. Undoubtedly to his death. But shadows be damned if Kraab's not going out without a fight.
"Not again! I will not be someone's plaything that gets locked away into a cabinet for comedic purposes! No! I'll kill ya! I'll cut your throat! Rip out your vocal cords and shove into your mouth! Come at me! I'll make you watch as I scoop out your eyeballs! I'll tar out your ribs and use 'em against your ass to play the drums! I'll-"
"So violent!" A feminine voice gasps somewhere in the pitch-black void, far beyond what Kraab can see. But she sounds close, almost like she's right there. "And such foul language. How'd you capture such a villain?"
A male's voice, this one closer, maybe his capture, explains. "He's tiny. Kekeke. Heard him wandering around when I was scouting ahead."
A third voice, another male, this one meeker and more polite then the first chimes in. "Tiny, huh? How dangerous could they be?"
The captor speaks up again just as the pitch-black void shifts around. "Here I'll show ya. He's feisty though."
Suddenly light finally enters the void, well a dim, very dim light as Kraab is back in the forest, dropped onto the forest floor like trash.
Well, he's not gonna stand for that. "Oh, so now you wanna fight?!" he puts up his claws like he's gonna box. "Alright, but just warning you. I used to be known as the Cancer of the Galaxy!"
The third voice pauses and asks in bewilderment. "Like the constellation?"
"Yes, like the constellation." Kraab answers before pausing himself, he spins around expecting to find a trio of villains but instead…he finds them. "Hey, wait a minute! You're just a bunch of kids!"
More specifically it's Momo along with two members of Class B: Awase and Kuroiro. The latter being the one who captured him.
"And I know you!" Kraab points at Momo. "You're that rich chick that hangs out with gravity girl and Deku."
Momo Yaoyorozu eyes Kraab suspiciously before finally recognizing him. "I remember you, but I don't recall you being so violent?"
"I'm a crab of many mysteries."
"Awase, Kuroiro, there's no reason to be alarmed. This robot belongs to Midoriya. If I remember correctly it's-"
"-His!" Kraab corrects.
"Apologies. His name is Kraab."
Yosetsu Awase and Shihai Kuroiro look at each other in confusion. "Midoriya?"
"Really?" Kuroiro scowls, unsure of any of this and finding this all too suspicious. "What's green bean doing with a robot? And why is it-he here? We weren't even allowed to bring our cellphones on the trip."
Kraab glares up at the living void and explains. "In case you couldn't tell, I'm way more smarter than any smart communication device. I can make my own decisions."
That may be true but Awase's a little taken back. 'More smarter…?'
Meanwhile, Kuroiro glares back at the offending bot. "Doesn't that go against like your programming or something?"
"My programming?!" Kraab gags, offended on his and every other droid's behalf. "Listen here you one-shaded silhouette! Believe it or not but I actually snuck into the camp on purpose! Had to make sure Deku wasn't gonna get himself killed… Okay saying that aloud I just realized I might have failed in that but whatever! I'm here and I'm gonna save all your asses, that's what's important!"
Momo frowns with interest, wondering what Kraab's implying. "What do you mean?"
"Before Deku and I split up I was able to pick up on some jamming signals."
Awase blinks, not sure if he fully understands this. "Jamming signals? Like the thing that happens in sci-fi where someone cuts off communication?"
"The exact kind." Kraab confirms. "I'm on my way there to cut off the source. Cut off the source and there's nothing stopping us from calling for backup. Like the Plu-I mean, the police and heroes."
Momo stops to consider Kraab's plan, while cupping her chin she can't help but comment on how risky it is. "I'm amazed Midoriya set you off on your own. But then again he's probably trying to help save his friends."
Kraab doesn't even try to defend the brat. "That kid. He's gonna get himself killed before he learns to prioritize his own health."
"Where is this jammer?"
"Further up this way. From what I can tell the signals coming from atop that cliff that's overlooking the forest."
The three hero students stop and look at each other, silently considering the same idea in their heads.
And Kraab doesn't like being left out of the loop. "What is it? What do you know that I don't?"
"It's Ragdoll." Momo explains, worriedly. "We think a villain has her and took her to the same location."
"Ragdoll? The hero with green hair?"
"Yeah." Awase confirms. "Not too long ago we saw some crazy looking villain running past carrying her in his tentacles!"
He can still remember it; the villain was huge with four arms and two tentacles running off his shell-like back. The guy didn't see them which is amazing considering he had more than two eyes. But one second, he was there and the next second he was gone. Having sped away in a blink of an eye despite his size!
Kuroiro goes ahead and explains the rest. "But they were moving too fast for us to catch up and rescue her. So, I went ahead to see if I could find them again."
Kraab's starting to see the big picture here. "And that's when you found me. So, you think she might be at the same location as the jamming device?"
"We hope so." Momo nods, albeit hesitantly, likely because she's trying to be hopeful. "That is why we are coming with you."
"Oh, no you ain't! I ain't letting you all tag along! No chance! The old man's gonna rip my new legs out if I do."
Hisashi already threatened to melt him down if he betrayed Deku so there's no telling what he'll do if he finds out about this!
Kuroiro doesn't seem to care, however. "Well, you're probably gonna get your legs ripped out by some villain first if we don't tag along."
"You got a point there." Damn, Kraab really wishes he had his old body back. If he did, he could have handled this whole situation all on his own…okay maybe not all on his own but still! But as he is now… "Are you sure this is what you kids wanna do…?"
Momo checks with the two boys first, both silently nodding their heads firmly.
"Yes." Momo reaffirms, trying to sound as confident as possible. "We wish to help everyone! We want to save our friends. And calling the pro heroes will ensure everyone's safety!"
"Can't argue with that." Kraab peers around the canopy, and there through the leaves he spots their destination towering over the forest in the distance. "Alright, kids. Follow me. And stay alert. Who knows what kind of monsters are lurking in the dark?"
Humungousaur crashes through the woods, rushing along as quickly as he can despite his size and weight. 'KACCHAN AND TODOROKI WENT SECOND IN THE TEST OF COURAGE. IF THEY DIDN'T GO BACK TO CAMP YET, THEN THEY MIGHT STILL BE AROUND HERE.'
Hopefully he can find them and then run into Uraraka and Tsuyu on the path back to the lodge since they'd be closer to there anyway.
*BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.*
In a flash of red, Izuku stumbles forward as he nearly falls over into the brush.
'What?! Now?! Must have already been ten minutes. Damn. I thought I had more time. Huh?'
From the front a slithering dark mass fires out at him.
Sensing the danger, Izuku tries to run but the pain in his broken arm sends a shock of pain up his system. The pain is too much, forcing him to freeze in place and unable to react as the massive shadow comes crashing down upon him.
But a set of strong warm hands snatch him right out of the way just as the mass smashes into the spot he was just occupying.
Confused, Izuku slowly peels open his eyes to find himself wrapped up in Mezo Shoji's arms and pressed against his back like a backpack. "Shoji! What happened?" He instantly notices that one of Shoji's limbs is bleeding profusely from the tip.
Shoji's out of breath and Izuku can feel that he's covered in sweat, no doubt he's been running away from some villain or other.
But whatever the case Shoji's just glad he was able to save Midoriya just in time. "With those injuries…you should be laid up in bed recovering. But you wanna save your friends. No matter what the cost."
"Am I really becoming that predictable?" Izuku half-jokes, half-sighs. "Besides you're injured, too."
"Yes. We were ambushed by villains, and I covered us. But the attack triggered Tokoyami's Quirk, even though he was desperately trying to hold it back."
Izuku freezes as he thinks back to what Tokoyami had told him back during the Sports Festival: "'My Quirk's offensive ability gets stronger when I'm in darkness. But that makes Dark Shadow aggressive and difficult to control.'"
"No… Don't tell me!"
Shoji hates to admit it but it's true. "Yeah. If we wanna get through here," he turns them both towards the looming darkness of the forest and states the obvious. "we'll have to face Dark Shadow first."
"RAAAAAA!" Dark Shadow lets out a booming roar. Its entire mass has expanded, becoming a terrifying monster like that of a cross between a raven and a kraken with massive shadow claws and tendrils thrashing about. All the while keeping a desperate Tokoyami himself as its core.
Fumikage Tokoyami spots his classmates and panic quickly sets in as he struggles for control. "Stay away…from me! You'll die!"
"Tokoyami, no!"
"RAAAAAA!"
Izuku holds his breath, watching in horror as Dark Shadow rages through the forest, blindly and without purpose. "But… How did he get this way?!"
"Keep it down." Shoji shushes him, holding him closer to his back with his multiple arms. "After Mandalay told us what was happening and that we shouldn't engage, we were both on high alert. Still, one of the villains got the drop on us."
It was some freak with blades for teeth, his Quirk nearly skewered Tokoyami if he hadn't shoved the raven out of the way. But it was at the cost of an arm, literally, the villain's blade slices through his hand much to Tokoyami's horror.
"I hid in the bushes and tried to cover Tokoyami, even though one of my arms was cut off."
"Really?" Izuku looks down and finally notices that yes, one of Shoji's Dupli-Arms is in fact bleeding.
"It looks bad. But it's not like it's lost forever." Shoji explains, not giving it a sweat. "My Dupli-Arms are capable of making duplicates upon duplicates. One of those was cut off." But it still hurt like hell though. "Thing is, he couldn't stand seeing me injured like that."
Tokoyami that is. He went ballistic, total outrage. And accidently released Dark Shadow along with his pent-up anger and regret.
"The Quirk he'd been suppressing began to rage and take over."
"RAAAAAA!"
Izuku quivers as Dark Shadows roar shakes the entire forest. "The darker it is, the less control Tokoyami has. I had no idea his Quirk could explode like this."
"It's probably fueled by his righteous indignation and regret. He's tried to hold it back, but they made it wilder." On the point, Shoji tries to slink away, taking a step back while using the trees for cover.
But he missteps, snapping a fallen twig in two with his foot.
The instant the twig snaps, Dark Shadow lashes out at them. His claw tearing apart the trees. But thankfully Shoji was able to sprint away and hide them again before Dark Shadow could spot them.
Ironically it appears Dark Shadow can't see too well in the dark. So at least they have that going for them.
It started lunging at any sound or movement, a beast lashing out with indiscriminate attacks."
"RAAAAAA!" Dark Shadow crashes through trees, not anywhere near them but it is certainly searching for them.
"Forget about me…!" Tokoyami cries out, still struggling to break free his ethereal shadowy binds. "Go…! Find our…classmates! Help them instead! Stop this! Calm down, DARK SHADOW!"
Shoji hates to see him like this, it must be painful. "His Quirk has a weakness to light. Is your Quirk recharged enough to bring out Heatblast or Buzzshock?"
"No. It's not." Although he really wishes he could. "I just timed out before I ran into you."
Shoji figured as much but he really wished it wouldn't come down to this. "Alright, then. If we can lead them to a fire or back to camp, we can contain it." Unfortunately, that in of itself is risky, they're far from the camp and the nearest fire is burning out of control thanks to an unknown villain. Also…there's another problem that needs to be addressed. "Midoriya. I know these are strange circumstances, but I can't just leave a suffering friend behind. You forced your broken body to get you here because you were worried about Uraraka and Bakugou. If you still wanna save them, I'll distract Dark Shadow for you. And you can run."
Izuku winces in pain as he tries to adjust himself on Shoji's back. "Hold on. Enacting reckless plans is my thing. And besides, the fire and camp are both pretty far away. You'll be in danger if he-"
"RAAAAAA!" They're being too loud as Dark Shadow lashes at them again.
Shoji dodges, ducking down and running off as Dark Shadow's claws and tendrils crush the trees under their weight and power. "I know that. But to save people, you have to take risks. That's what makes a hero, a hero."
Shoji stops, hiding behind another stand of trees, while never keeping his eyes of a defeated Tokoyami and his rampaging familiar. "Will you stay with me and help Tokoyami? Or will you rush to their side? You have to make a choice. Right now."
It's not an easy choice. Nothing ever is. In fact, Izuku hates the fact he even has to make a choice between who he can save. If he could…he'd like to save everyone. But then again…why not?
Heroes take risks. So why not take a bigger risk?
"I already have."
"Fleeesh… Pieces of meat…!" Suspended in the air by his own bladed-teeth, Moonfish lets out a starved moan. "FLESH…!" The web of blades explode out, bashing and piercing down and through the mountains of glaciers below.
Shoto counters, shielding them with ice but the blades break through. They're thin but sharp and flexible enough to pierce through even his ice walls. Nearly stabbing him and the unconscious Kosei Tsuburaba in the process.
"Teeth attacks? Seriously?!" Katsuki Bakugou snarls, watching uselessly from the side. "It's time to blast this freak with everything I've got!"
"You can't!" Shoto scolds.
"If the trees burn then just cover them with ice, stupid!"
"A big explosion will impair my vision, though. I may not be able to see the fire! And how are you gonna get close to him anyway?"
On cue, the nearby blades that were wedged in the ice expand and contort, nearly slashing Shoto's and Bakugou's sides.
"Grr." Bakugou hates it when Todoroki's right. It's so annoying.
*BOOM…! BOOM…! BOOM!*
Bakugou's head snaps up in shock, those distant explosions aren't coming from him. No wait those aren't explosions, something big is rumbling through the trees. But what?
That's when both he and Shoto hear it; the faintest of shouting mixed in with the crashing and tearing of trees and earth.
"There. I see ice! They're fighting!"
Even Moonfish is curious, wondering what all that noise could be. "Uh…?"
From his height he can see it, trees are ripped right off the ground, their canopies exploding into splinters and leaves as something BIG crashes right through them without a hint of reservation. Almost like a speeding train is blasting right through them.
But it's not that. It's just some kids running away from a giant shadow monster!
Shoji is panicking, his usual cool persona gone now that he has Dark Shadow on his heels and a just as terrified Izuku strapped to his back. "Bakugou! Todoroki! One of you! Give us some light!"
"More flesh…!" Moonfish won't squander an opportunity like this, he'll have his fill of meat even if it kills him! "FLEEESH!"
His Bladed Teeth whip and crack through the air, racing towards the incoming victims.
The rampaging Dark Shadow, however, can't be bothered by insects like Moonfish. Even as the blades pierce through its massive claw and form it easily crushes the blades and the glaciers of ice under its grip. "RAAAAAA!"
It lashes out wildly, its claw slamming into Moonfish, smashing apart his blades before throwing him to the dirt with a sickening splat.
Bakugou and Shoto are left in shock as Dark Shadow's flailing tendrils and claws level the forest, clearing it of trees, earth, and ice.
"RAAAAAA!"
All the while Tokoyami weeps, unable to stop the rampaging monster.
It hurts to know that his friend is in so much pain, but Izuku knows it's for the best. And soon the pain will be over.
##########(Flashback)#########
"Shoji. I have a plan. It's not perfect, but it might work."
Shoji stares back at him in confusion, not sure what this crazy plan could be. "What?"
"If Dark Shadow reacts to sound, then make duplicate arms to bait him, so he'll follow us without attacking our actual bodies."
Shoji gets it but he's a little concerned here. What would be the purpose of doing all that?
"We can lead Dark Shadow to Bakugou. He'll be able to weaken him with an explosion. I don't want to choose one or the other. I want to save them both!"
########(End Flashback)#######
'It was a good plan but dammit! I'm never gonna let Midoriya talk me into another crazy plan like this!' Shoji thinks as he beelines through the forest, his Dupli-Arms outstretched far from his sides each one leading to a cloned mouth so can keep confusing the mindless shadow.
With Dark Shadow on their heels Izuku yells out for help. "Bakugou!"
But Bakugou remains rooted, stunned by the display.
Even Shoto is confused until he's finally able to make out the fleeing pair. "Shoji and Midoriya. And is that…Tokoyami?!"
"RAAAAAA!" Dark Shadow continues his chase, crashing through the trees without ever slowing down.
"We need some light now!" One of Shoji's duplicated mouth cries out for the end of a stretched arm. "He's out of control-!"
The limb goes silent under Dark Shadow's claw, having blindly slashed it after hearing it make noise. "RAAAAAA!"
Shoto quickly puts the unconscious Tsuburaba down and prepares to fight. "He's attacking blindly. I'll use my fire."
Bakugou stops him, holding a handout in front of him. "Not so fast."
Moonfish's living corpse slowly rises off the ground, his web of blades prying him off the ground like a horrific spider. "Flesh… Slabs of meat… No good… Can't allow it… I'm the one who gets to slice them open… DON'T STEAL FROM ME!"
His blades pierce the monster's hide but they're nothing to Dark Shadow.
"You don't matter. Insignificant bug!" The raging beast crushes the blades under its claws with ease.
And a cruel smirk stretches across Bakugou's face. "Now finish him."
"RAAAAAA!" Dark Shadow takes Moonfish, smashing past his blades and grabs the villain. And with a roar prepares to do him in!
But then a massive blur of a figure dashes out from the remaining trees. It zooms right into Dark Shadow leaving a blazing trail of green electricity in its wake before snatching Moonfish right out of its grasp.
"REEEeee!" Dark Shadow shrieks with agony and fright, its mass temporally shrinking under the light of the sudden lightning bolt.
Everyone's shocked, frozen by the appearance of the intruder. But none are more upset or shocked than Bakugou and Izuku.
Bakugou's fists clench at his sides, his nails digging into his palm in an attempt to stop himself from shaking. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh. What's the matter, Blasty?" Nue flashes a jagged tooth grin, his limbs flex as his tendrils and tail whip through the air. "Weren't expecting me? Ehehehehe!"

To be continued…
Yeah, I know. Why Guardian-Sigil? Why another F*ing cliffhanger!? I know I suck. But this is the best way I feel to end a chapter on. And to be honest this chapter was originally gonna be twice as long, which is why it feels like this chapter felt more like it was setting up the last few matches. So why did I feel the need to split the chapter? Well like I've mentioned before I am trying to shorten and split these chapters to save myself time and sanity. Speaking of which, the next chapter is coming along nicely. So, I hope to have it done and ready for next Friday if not it will for sure be ready for the following Friday. I'll try to post an Omake if it ends up being the latter.
Also, just if you're curious we only have about 2-3 more chapters left after this chapter until the Training Camp Arc is over. And you all know what that means, right?
*I apologize if you are getting lost and confused between the constant scene changes in this chapter. I am trying my best to have it all flow naturally and to be as clear as possible when we jump from one fight to the next. So please let me know if you were able to follow along or if you have any advice to help with this. Especially since the next chapter is gonna have the same issues. And so will the following arc or two.
*Fanfic is undergoing some maintenance issues. Mainly that every 90-days or so everyone's account will reset and the "E-mail Notification" or "Email Opt-in" will be turned off.
Everyone needs to go into their Account Settings and set "Email Opt-in" to Yes. Otherwise, you will not be getting alerts or emails about chapter updates from my story and all other stories on this site.
Responses for "Guest" reviewers from Ch.72:
Atom king: Well thing have gone from bad to worst not only the villains have seven seven on their side they now mutant bats the size as human so I can only imagine they are man-bats, and nomu with chainsaw hands not only that dark shadow is going berserk yeah this going to be an long night for everyone.
Izuku thinks the villains are after Ochaco and Bakugo but I think the real goal is him and the Omnitrix, I have will izuku become ghost freak to fight dark shadow?
Guardian-Sigil: And now Charmcaster and Toga are running around. And then NUE figured he might as well jump in just to make things even worse!
Guest: saw your response to Guest-no relation (get it, I'm hilarious) about ship and Eri and frankly there are exactly 4 aliens the unicorn should meet
Baby necrofrigians
Ship
Tiny
Alien X the ultimate cosmic being conversing with a 6 year old doesn't even have to Izuku's alien X it could be another one
Guardian-Sigil: No sarcasm, laughed my ass off at your first line. Haha!
I will do a chapter with the Necrofrigians but can't guarantee Eri is gonna meet them
Also I actually do have a chapter in mind for Tiny. I know exactly how it's gonna play out. But I don't wanna give it away but trust me it's gonna be adorable. And yes Eri will be part of it
Jakesurfboy: A nice cliffhanger for us for the new year, sounds about right but that's half the fun of these stories is the wait. This chapter was very nice as Kendo, Tetsu and Shinsou got a chance to shine so I hope they appear more in this story. I excited to see what differences this story of the Camp attack will differ from the Original and what will happen. Got to say I loved the Batman V Owlman reference talking about the abyss and blinking that was one of my favorite references in this story in a while.
Guardian-Sigil: Hopefully the wait wasn't too long for this one. And yeah we're gonna be in for a lot of cliffhangers from here till the end of the Kamino Ward arc. So brace yourself!
Guest: A jobber means someone that always/mostly loses a fight. Humungousaur and Wildmutt were victims of that :(
Guardian-Sigil: Oooooh
DeadCool14: Such a great fight; loved the Crisis on Two Earths line, boy is trying a little hard on trying to sound cool XD. Can't wait to read more of this awesome story next year, hope you're better now, take care of yourself. Happy (soon-to-be) New Year!
Did Tetsutesu really eat the gun?
He and Kendo are definitely the Kevin and Gwen of the group
shows/one-piece
Yeah I understand that the filler episodes are a real turn-off, so here this link will show them to you so you can skip them. It really sucks that the fact that it's very long turns away many people from watching it, but trust me it is worth it, it's an amazing story.
Also there is a lot of good material to pull from that, like I said Kickin' Hawk could do some of Sanji's moves, (and people would point it out) specially one that would work magnificently if he gets Skurd, and also the death of a character which would work very well with Feedback
Will Deku get photographic memory like Ben? Because it's possible to train that
When the Omnitrix recalibrates Deku gets a new set of aliens and then gets Water Hazard and Terraspin back by scanning Bivalvan and Galapagus; if you decide to do the Andromeda 5
What I asked about Toepick last time was that if you'll alter his powers a little bit? Like his main power stays the same but he can do some extra stuff like shooting gross gunk from his body. Cuz originally he was described as being very gross, but then his main focus is that he's scary/ugly
Will you use some the Fortnite MHA gear in the story? Like not make them part of the story but like as cameos because I think them having pick-axes would be pretty pointless, well except for the Blackwhip pick-axe, I can see that as a combo move with Ochako and Deku, she uses Blackwhip to form it and he freezes it; the Uravity Booster as well, that could just be an upgrade to the Gyro-Disc after she unlocks Float
I hope we get a moment with Deku and Shoji (maybe Koda too) talking about their history with prejudice. I can see Deku being sad that he can't inspire Quirkless people like how Shoji wants to do with heteromorphs because he has to pretend to have a Quirk
Will you do this when they get to the dorms? "Izuku Midoriya (Deku) x Ochako Uraraka Doujinshi - Acting like a couple"
Are you still watching JoJo? Because in Part 6 there some powers that could be used by either Deku or Albedo as Base/Ultimate Gravattack and Gutrot
Will you do the pterodactyl vision bit from The Mitchells vs the Machines, please? I can either see Setsuna or Astrodactyl do it
When Frankenstrike and NRG show up, can you have these jokes 9:10 and 18:23 from the Ink Tank video "Every Ben 10 Alien RANKED from Best to Worst!"?
Will Deku and Ragdoll have a moment together after she loses her Quirk?
One thing I expect to happen is to have maybe a reference to "Kevin 11" by having either Henzu or Spinner stealing a Summo Slammers game to play with Shigaraki
Also Fun Fact: Spinner calls his weapon the Super Knife Knife Sword
When Deku gets Walkatrout will he give him some more use? Since they're both perceived as useless I can see him wanting to get some validation for the both of them. He could use his slippery body to move around better, like he's skating, and do some acrobatics by using the momentum of him sliding and his slippery body to slide off of walls. I can see him winning a training exercise where they're supposed to catch him and he'd just troll everyone the entire time by literally slipping away XD
Guardian-Sigil: I am doing a lot better now. Considering I was sick for nearly a week and had to go into quarantine but it's all good now
And yes Tetsutetsu did, in fact, eat that solid steel gun
And no Deku will not have photographic memory. And Ben doesn't either that literally existed for 1 episode and it never came up ever again
Also no no no. When the Omnitrix recalibrates he will NOT be losing his previous aliens. And forget about the Andromeda 5. They will not be a thing in this story. Period.
I don't mind Toepick's single power. It's hallucinations so I can just get creative with that alone.
I know nothing about Fortnite and I don't have any plans to learn about it
I want to address the prejudice theme but at a later time
No they will not act like a couple
And I wouldn't get your hopes up about me catching up to JoJo. Although I did watch Arcane recently on Netflix and that was awesome
Pterodactyl vision? I don't remember that joke. I'll have to go back and watch the movie
Huh I did not know Spinner called his blade that. Good to know
No. Walkatrout still gonna be a gag character. Heck he might not even show up in the story at all
Dreadbot: I really like this chapter I liked all the fight scenes in it I like how Mina convinced izawa to go find the other students and I like the ending quote that shinzo said which is a reference from Justice League versus crime syndicate which is one of my favorite Batman quotes ever which proves why Batman is the best hero ever
Guardian-Sigil: Happy to hear you and everyone else like the changes so far. I know a lot of people were complaining that not much was different compared to the anime/manga at the start of the Training Camp arc but I knew in time they'd see that it would all pay off
And yeah I love that line too, hence why I used it :)
DeadCool14 (again): Shame there wasn't a moment with Kota and Water Hazard. And speaking of Kota and Water Hazard, you know have the chance for two great jokes:
-Tsu saying Humungousaur when Kota and the Pussycats are present and Deku saying Kota came up with it
-Humungousaur at full size doing the patented Midoriya cry and causing a flood
What would Deku consider a bad name? Because I assume he will meet Deku 22
I also have no interest in Dragon Ball but I still love the Saiyans episode because of how well done it is. Seriously, you should at least watch it for that reason alone; the way it could work in the Ben 10 universe and the way it connects all the races, it's so good. You don't really need to know Dragon Ball to enjoy it since they don't really go deep into the lore; though they do mention the basics like ki and Frieza makes a cameo but that's about it; it's just a really cool, solid and fun episode
Will you do "Don't Drink the Water"?
Guardian-Sigil: At some point I'll use those jokes. For now I'm keeping the joked to a minimum considering the weight of this arc
Well actually Izuku didn't want to use the names Bullfrag or Big Chill but got pressured into both of those names
"Don't Drink the Water?" was that the fountain of Youth episode? If so, then I'm not doing magic so no Fountain of Youth but I might do a version of a little kids adventure
Grimm: Exactly, I mean that when chromastone is locked up by the quirk of , he can get out of his sphere overloaded from the inside or also take out his companions from the spheres when he has them in his hand, since his quirk is to lock up anything or anyone in their spheres, and I thought that since chromastone manipulates all kinds of energy, it would be an interesting thing to see.
pd: yes, I tried to write the name of but I don't know why the name didn't take it, also the page didn't load my answer right away, but until days later it appeared
Guardian-Sigil: So stop trying to say Mr. Compress and just say Compress. Also the reason your review didn't show up right away, was not an error on the site's part. I approve which reviews enter the system and sometimes it takes me a several days to get around to it
Guest: Another awesome chapter. Seriously you are probably one of the best authors on this site.
Guardian-Sigil: Thank you. That's way too kind
BlueRanger-Lyric: Wow, that was quite an interesting chapter with the changes, additions and all that, and you say those are appetiser? If that's the case, I wonder what the main course will be, is Izuku going to be taken rather than Bakugo, or will both of them be taken, like the League of Villains try to recruit Bakugo and Izuku is given to Vilgax in an attempt to remove the Omnitrix from him, now I'm wondering if this will lead to a fight between Vilgax and All Might and Hisashi trying to save him, that kind of action could be key to Izuku finally forgiving him for what he put him through, especially if he sacrifices One For All to save him and beat Vilgax, anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next and what changes and/or additions will come in the coming chapters, and take all the time you need to work on them, never mind the schedules, we all will understand
Guardian-Sigil: Yup appetizers. The main course is (sort-of) here. Charmcaster and Toga vs. Tsuyu and Ochaco. And now Nue decided he wants to play ball with Bakugou and the others. It's gonna get crazy.
Then I'll be adding some special sauce just to give the dish some new flavor!
And then I'll be brining out the dessert!
And then after all that we'll be moving onto the Kamino Ward arc
Grimm (again): I have a question, will you introduce the topic of Elena and the chips? because it is necessary to introduce nanomech, I would make the chips a quirk with their own consciousness (like dark shadow), only these manipulate elana as they did with her father
Guardian-Sigil: I already hinted to the chips back during the I-Island Arc
Guest: You should do a cameo of Matt and Kimolu from star trek lower decks as plumbers. I think it would be fun to see them.
Guardian-Sigil: I'll try
Metal Lizard: So this is cool like I think that Kota's favorite alien is Humungousaur because he saved kota from Muscular and with more new aliens more new battles and some team-ups with some I can think of some that would be good and some with The Big 3 who will playe major roles in the Shie Hassaikai
raid so why not ad some aliens to go with their powers so some team-ups that can go good with are
Hitoshi Shinso-Whampire
Mei Hatsume-Juryrigg
Toru Hagakure-Chamalien
Mirio Togata-Eye Guy
Tamaki Amajiki-Upchuck
Nejire Hado- Terraspin
I also wanted to say that I would've said Ghostfreak for Mirio but I still don't know on that part with him going evil and escaping the Omnitrix so Eye Guy is also good and I have a idea for when Eye Guy joins in when Class 1A fights Mirio and Deku is the last one standing he goes for Ghostfreak but gets Eye Guy instead still cool story and everything else is cool.
Guardian-Sigil: Yeah those are some cool team ups. Some are already set to occur but others are gonna be a little different
Dinobot: Since there's monsters like the Krakken so what about some man made monsters so I have a idea where Izuku and some of his friends are in the Playtime Factory from Poppy Playtime as to why they are there I'll leave that to you and maybe Kraab can also be there to help out and to see how terrify he gets when Kraab see's of what Playtime Co has done to these toys to became monsters and have to fight against these monsters like Huggy Wuggy,Mommy Long Legs,Boxy Boo,Bron Cat-Bee, and maybe befriend some of the toys that are not evil like Boogie Bot,Candy Cat,Baby,Long Legs,Poppy if she's not evil that is as for Izuku's friends that are with him I say Fumikage Tokoyami,Kyoka Jiro,Mezo Shoji,Mina Ashido, well that's the whole idea and if this idea will be in later on Izuku and his friends are going to to need work gather to escaped from Playtime Co.
Guardian-Sigil: If I do that I might just say the monsters are robots or something. I'm not that familiar with Playtime Factory but I am curious about it. Maybe that should be a Halloween OVA one day
Guest: If he's gets swampfire he'll be able to heal himself
Guardian-Sigil: I mean he has Wildvine
Guest: Are the aliens in the anytime fanfic are gonna appear in this one
Guardian-Sigil: Yes. There was an Author's Note explaining as much for Blitzwolfer's OVA
Guest: Is Eri gonna name a alien
Guardian-Sigil: Probably
Guest: Izuku should get the ultramatrix uauraka is gonna be op with few other quirks
Guardian-Sigil: I mean he already has over 20 alien powers compared to the other 6 she'll get
Guest: I wanna see deku x mina relationship like the awkward energy fanfiction
Guardian-Sigil: Maybe, but I'm not doing ships
Guest: Please do Omnitrix deku going to the mah cannon universe it will double the muttering and double the damnit deku from bakugo
Guardian-Sigil: It'll happen and if you want more info you need to read the "Special Announcement" chapter
Guest: I'll be honest I thought rath would be fighting muscular
Guardian-Sigil: I know. A lot of people did
Guest: When deku uauraka and mina starts there plumber's training?
Guardian-Sigil: They already have. U.A's training has the same curriculum as the Plumber Academy at least when it comes to obeying local laws, teamwork, combat, crowd control, investigations, etc.
Guest: Don't forget POOZER means useless rookies until it becomes friendly
Guardian-Sigil: I won't
I'm Hellboy: I know that Vilgax will probably make his appearance known if or when his plan to work with the league of villaiins doesn't go as planed and more villains will make their own debate Khyber, Fistrick, Zs'Skay ,Darkstar ,The Vreedle Brothers ,The Forever Knights, Attea things will just keep getting crazy.
Guardian-Sigil: Well after these events will will certainly be getting all of these villains eventually. Sooner for some. I mean I already introduced Fistrick. But he'll become more apparent later
Guest: Will you have deku as ditto do a "goodnight everybody".
Guardian-Sigil: Yes
Omar: Hello buddy, I have something new for you, on deviantart there is a guy called "crystalmoon101", he does ben 10 things, he has some very good fusions, for example he has one called "Tenfold Fusion" which is the fusion of the original 10, and he also has another called "Replay Fusion" which is the fusion of the alien force first 10, just in case you are interested.
Guardian-Sigil: Cool I'll check it out when I can
Omar: Oye ahora que recuerdo que el omnitrix piede reparar el daño jenetico... si en el futuro pasa algo que altere la genetica de las personas y izuku tenga que areglarlo.. esp no afectaria tanbien a dabi.
Touya. Tiene una peculiaridad de fuego que lo quema lentamente mientras mas lo usa.. eso no es un daño jenegico... que es areglada su peculiaridad con el omnitrix talves todo en el se aregle y elimine incluso sus quemaduras.

Vilgax tendra sus escudos de fuersa y rayos laser de los obos verdad.. y tanbien tendra su espada de fuerss alien?
Guardian-Sigil: So I won't say anything speciic for fear of spoilers. But I have a lot of elements planned out. Don't you worry :)
