Izuku calmly walked through site of the demonstration. Few gave him an eye as he was followed by a pair of P.A.M.s pulling a cart behind him. The gathered crowd mulled about as he approached the stage.
On the stage was another small group. A small line of investors, the chief of the local police precinct, and the couple who owned the construction company aiding in the demonstration. An agent approached him, glanced at his ID, then handed him as small microphone. He accepted the piece, putting it on his head as he walked on stage.
He tapped the piece, testing to see its reaction. A small nod from the line behind him was the que to start. "Hello, hello, thank you everyone for showing up. You may not know me, but you do recognize the Droids behind me." he said as the speakers let his voice boom. "Many of you have seen my P.A.M.s in action before, but now I have another Model to show you today. Behold!!" He said as the P.A.M.s unveiled what was beneath the tarp.
It was a new Droid, slightly larger than the P.A.M.s and far more robust. It bore a pronounced top with a vast collection of plates covering it. Their was a solid frame surrounding the main body with four sets of arms tucked along the frame. It stood on four separate treads, each triangle shaped with three wheels inside.
"What you see here is my Autonomous Search, Rescue, and Recovery Droid. The A.S.R.R or Azure Model Droid." Izuku introduced the machine as it powered up. "This machine is designed to act alongside First Responders in emergency situations. With powerful hydraulic arms and all terrain treads the Azure can go almost anywhere in the case of disasters." Izuku said as the machine began rolling around on stage.
The Azure drove to the right of the stage and proceeded to the construction site nearby. "Thanks to help from the Uraraka Construction Company we have set up the nearby site to demonstrate some of the Azure's capabilities in an urban environment." Izuku said while gesturing to the pair. The Azure drove to the construction site, stopping for a second as a nearby worker hid behind a wall of bulletproof glass. "The Azure is designed to withstand high stress situations and build with the means to match it, drop the bar." Izuku said as the worker pulled out a remote.
The Azure stood still as a large steel beam fell from a nearby crane. The audience gasped as the large hunk of metal flew down. In an instance the metal plates on Azure's head shifted, becoming a large shield as its arms flew from its body. Before the steel beam could strike the droid its arms shot out and caught it. The Droid let it's right arms take the weight of the beam before it let it dropped the metal just to the right of it.
The plates shifted once again, returning to the state it had been before. "That's not all the Azure is capable of with its powerful arms." Izuku commented as the Droid turned to the audience and picked the steel beam back up. With little effort the steel beam was bent at several angles by the four arms of the Azure.
"Now, the Azure isn't just about brute strength." Izuku said as the Droid continued on. It drove to a section that was separated by another pane of bullet proof glass. A man lay prone under a small pile of construction pieces. The Azure drove close to him, extending its hydraulics as it began to carefully remove the debris from overtop him. Once enough was removed the Azure pulled the rest of the rubble up and began to pull the man out. Its main body began to shift, the frame seeming to sink into itself as the plates began to flatten out into a large flat shape.
The crowd watched as the Azure pulled the man onto the newly made flat before it straightened out and began driving. Once they left the area the man leaned up and the machine stopped driving, shifting its main body so that the man could step off the flat. "The Azure is designed to help aid evacuations and rescue trapped civilians in high stress situations. Thanks to the 'Hard Hat' on the top of the Azure it can be used to both protect itself, and also aid civilians in such situations." Izuku said as the Azure seemed to nod.
"Now, does anyone have any questions?" Izuku asked. Several hands shot up and Izuku pointed to a random one. "Sir, is this machine meant to act as competition to Heroes on the scene?" one reporter asked. "No, the Azure is a supplement is such missions. Designed to help fill in the gaps of manpower and take on dangerous situations for the sake of civilians safety." Izuku replied before he gestured to another questioner.
"Just how durable is this machine?" the reporter asked. "Ah, the Azure is designed to withstand several thousand tons of pressure, large explosions, and both forms of extreme temperature. I just haven't made such a demonstration due to the danger involved." Izuku replied.
"Are you connected with these mass villain attacks?" Someone asked. "Excuse me?" Izuku replied. That same person approached, the crowd around him parting ways. Sir Nighteye walked out to the front of the crowd. "Are you connected with the villain attacks?" Nighteye repeated. Izuku looked over, seeing that the local chief was shocked at Nighteye showing up.
Izuku breathed in, letting out a sigh. "I won't lie. I've seen those things on TV, and I've been scared that this would happen. I am not with those villains." Izuku replied as he looked to the rest of the crowd. "Don't dodge the question." Nighteye said.
Izuku leaned down, turning off the microphone; "Sir, while I do not wish to interfere with such investigation. This is an unwarranted interrogation without legal backing and I will have to ask you to leave before security gets involved." Izuku said.
Nighteye stared him down, Izuku knew of his Quirk and he grew worried of what Nighteye would see. Nighteye seemed to sigh before leaving. "Good luck on the business" he muttered as Izuku shook his head. Izuku stood back up and turned his microphone back on. "Sorry about that, the crime spree has left a lot of people on edge." Izuku apologized before he looked to the next question.
"See Nedzu, we can see his face now." Power Loader said as he gestured to the screen. "Yes, his machines are most interesting. Though I have to do something now." Nedzu said as he turned away from Power Loader. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. The moment the phone was picked up Nedzu sneered. "Nighteye, what are you doing?!" he asked with agitation in his voice. "That's not important, I have some information that would interest you." Nighteye replied.
"What would that be?" Nedzu asked. "He's going to be targeted. When I looked into his eyes I saw him working on some machine, then something attacked him from the shadows. It was tall and imposing, it even had a tail. The boy is in danger." Nighteye said. "Who do you think would do such a thing?" Nedzu asked. "Maybe villains, maybe the HSPC. We both know they aren't happy with how successful the Azure may end up being." Nighteye said.
"Indeed, it may be best to put him under watch. However I still can't help but think that your method was rather unnecessary." Nedzu commented. "I know, but the villain group has been getting more bold. I had to see if there was a connection. A young man with such a skill in robotics pops up around the same time as a villain with a small army of machines, that isn't a coincidence." Nighteye argued.
"I understand. Just prepare yourself for some backlash." Nedzu commented. "I will, have a good day." Nighteye replied. "Good day." Nedzu said before he ended the call.
"Doctor, what is this?" All For One asked as he looked at the solid mass of metal in the Noumu's hand. "This... is our intruder. What's left of it to be precise." Garaki said. "Really?" Afo asked. "Shortly after the scrambler got the machine it activated some kind of fail safe. Left only a pile of slag behind." Garaki answered. Afo angled his head down, feeling the slab of hardened metal. "Anything else?" Afo asked. "The tunnel was sabotaged not long after, the pack we had sent in has yet to be recovered." Garaki said.
"Great, just great." Afo commented. "Garaki, while my student is attacking U.A. I want you to prepare a group of Noumus with with Electric Quirks, sensors, and strength boosters." Afo said. "Have the data from the first two packs analyzed, we know that we're close." Afo commanded. "At once sir." Garaki replied. "Soon, very soon." Afo said dryly.
"So, this is the guy who helped your family?" Mina asked as she watched the video. "Yeah, I only heard them talking over the phone. I never expected him to look so..." Ochako trailed off. "Cute." Mina replied. "What... I... I mean." Ochako tried to argue. "Omg, you have a crush." Mina teased.
Ochako was about to argue when Aizawa walked into the rooms and all the students stood up straight.
