Chapter 3: Crash

The next day Izuku woke up early again.

"Izuku, are you awake?" The soft voice of the Inko passed through the door.

"Mom? What are you doing up so early?"

"I'll make breakfast, let's talk while we eat."

The boy began getting dressed, tugging his clothes over his body. Mom isn't usually like this, what's going on? Properly dressed, he walked through the door and waited at the table. A couple minutes later his mother returned with miso soup, rice, and pickles; a traditional Japanese breakfast. She returned with chopsticks and sat down at the opposite end of the table.

"Izuku… is something wrong? You've gone to bed very early these past couple of days, that isn't normal for you. Something happened, didn't it?"
"I-" Izuku sighed. "Yes, something did happen. I can't explain it here, not without showing you, but something good did happen. Something I almost can't believe happened, did happen."

He'd taken her to the beach, where he experimented with his powers the day before. His mother followed behind with a strange mix of nervousness and enthusiasm. Then he used it, Model O. Inko fainted right there on the spot, and Izuku had to do it again for her to believe it. That her son had gained a quirk. That her son could finally become the hero he wanted to be. She began crying, it wasn't long before her son joined her too.

Izuku skipped school that day to register his new quirk. Like most quirk name's it was straightforward and explained what the quirk did. Robotic armor, a dull name, but Izuku already tried Omega as a quirk name and it had been rejected. On the way back home he'd gotten his mother to promise not to tell anyone about the quirk until he got into U.A.

The time until the U.A. entrance exams passed quickly. With Bakugo not knowing about Izuku's power or his real plan for U.A. the bullying became less intense. Eventually it almost stopped entirely and Izuku was able to practice in secret freely. During that time he learned several new techniques. The most useful had been learning how to control his gauntlets, by unlocking them from his body Izuku could launch the fist for a ranged punch or grab something from a distance. He couldn't use it too far away, the biometal increased his eyesight but focusing on a far object while in danger would spell disaster. Mastering levitation was harder, so far he could only hover and move slowly or use it to slightly increase his speed while running. The sword on his back was the final thing he practice on, mainly on controlling it's sheath. After unsheathing the sword and swinging it at scrap metal he'd realize the sword cut through everything like butter and decided to only use it sheathed, only taking off the sheath for the worst scenarios.

Finally, the time for the exams had come.

"I made it!" Izuku panted. U.A.! If all goes well this will be my future highschool! This will be my first step to becoming a he-

"Deku! Youuuuu!" An enraged yell came from behind Izuku. The poor boy's face turned just in time to get punched by Bakugo.

Izuku tumbled to the ground, his backpack opening in the chaos and spilling it's contents everywhere. Bakugo slammed a knee onto the ground and reared up another punch, pausing only when he noticed the crowd suddenly forming around them. He scoffed and stood up, jamming his hands into his pockets and looking away from Izuku.

While walking away he said one thing to Izuku. "Leave."

Izuku nursed his face as a bruise formed. He observed the students leave him be as they walked towards the school. They're too worried about getting to the exam early to help another student out, of course. He sighed. I'll have to pick up everything and rush to the auditorium.

"I can't believe he just punched you! Are you okay?" A gentle voice came from behind the boy.

"Eh?" Izuku turned his head and saw a cute brown haired girl holding his tracksuit and school supplies in outstretched hands. Slowly he took them from the girl's hands. She's so nice!

"Here's your backpack as well! We might be future classmates so it's only right if we help each other out. Good luck!" Just as quick as she came, she left. Nonetheless she helped Izuku out a lot and saved him some time. Still aching from the hit, the young boy put everything away and dashed off to the auditorium.

Izuku stood outside the gate to a large, fake city. The rules behind the exam were simple, destroy as many robots as you can. He already knew past exams used robots, but he didn't know anything about zero point robots. Izuku had been more surprised to see Present Mic was the one explaining the rules, he knew that U.A. employed pro heroes as teachers, but seeing it was a completely different thing than just knowing it. He probably would have muttered and annoyed the people around him if his jaw didn't hurt.

Now he just had to wait for the start of the exam. Looking around he didn't see anyone he recognized, but that was to be expected. The administrators of this exam wouldn't want anyone teaming up with people they know. Between unfamiliar faces he spotted a brown haired girl. It's the nice girl! I should go and thank her for earlier. Nervously he walked over to her before a hand suddenly grabbed him on the shoulder.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to distract her before the exam starts?" A smart looking boy with glasses stopped him. He was taller than him and also much better built.

It's the guy who asked about the zero-pointer. "No I'm just going to thank her. She helped me out earlier." Izuku replied calmly.

The taller boy took his arm off Izuku's shoulder. "Oh, I-"

"STAAAAART!"

What!?

"What's the matter? There's no countdowns in a real fight! Get a move on!" Present Mic shouted from above.

The students in front of him stampeded into the city, leaving Izuku behind. Oh no! I'm already behind. He quickly transformed. Dash! Izuku's run became noticeably faster, letting him reach the main crowd of students, the guy with glasses was way ahead though. This technique let's me move faster by having my levitation pull me forward while my feet push me forward, it takes a bit of concentration though.

Tires screeched and with a crash a robot appeared through a wall. A one-pointer!

"Target acquired! Time to kill!" Robotic speech echoed out of it's head.

Izuku rushed forward and tackled the robot with his body. The robot tumbled and hit a wall and before it could recover Izuku shot his arm forward and tore off it's head. One point! The armored boy tossed the head to the side when he got hit by weak explosions from behind. The boy whipped around, the ground cracked as he suddenly lunged forward to the three-pointer hitting him.

"SMAAASH!" Izuku's detached fist launched forward cleaving straight through the faux villain and causing a large explosion. The gauntlet continued forward and punched a hole in the building behind it. These robots are weaker than I thought they would be, I need to hold back on my projectile punches. I don't want to accidentally hit anybody. Four points so far. Four more robots came out from alleyways and buildings. Am I making that much of a ruckus? Or maybe they can find me more easily due to my large size.

"Die human!" A robot screeched at him as all four surrounded him and attacked. Izuku couldn't feel pain through the armor but the attacks did little to him anyway. If he were moving he would be stumbling, but the robots were getting closer to him. Just a little bit closer. Come on. Now! Izuku drew his sword and hit the robots with a massive circular swing. Even with the scabbard covering the blade, the force behind the swing was strong enough to crumple them like cans and send out a gust of wind. Twelve points! Two more robots tried to sneak up from behind him, Izuku whirled and ran forward, slamming his fists into both. Seventeen! The armored boy ran forward with speed that surprised even him. He thrusted his sword forward like a lance and speared three robots along it. What?! I'm moving way faster than I did in training, I didn't even practice moves like this during training either! Where is this skill coming from? It doesn't matter right now, I need to stay focused. That's twenty-three points! Izuku dashed forward, hitting two robots into buildings. Twenty-six! The boy began moving as fast as the glasses guy from earlier, becoming a flash of metal and explosions. Twenty-nine! Thirty-one! Thirty-five! Forty! Forty-four!

At that point the ground suddenly began trembling. A truly massive robot appeared from around the multistory buildings of the fake city. That's the zero-pointer?! It's way too massive!

"Ahh! Ouch!"

Izuku looked downward, it was the nice girl from earlier trapped under some rubble. She's stuck! I need to stop that zero-pointer! Izuku dashed forward past the girl and slammed into the massive treads, breaking them apart. If I can break it's legs it won't be able to move forward! Izuku drew his sword again and this time unsheathed it, shattering the sword's cover. He began to swing-

What a pathetic machine.

What? Suddenly Izuku's body jerked. I can't move! On it's own his body moved and lifted the sword upwards. It began shining a dark pink before the sword was swung downwards. A massive blast of energy emerged from the swing and shot into the large zero-pointer. The blast continued but tapered down, exposing the remains of a machine that lost the front third of it's body. Metal groaned and the machine slowly topped over, exploding as it fell. His transformation suddenly went away and Izuku was launched backwards from the force of his own attack and the force of the explosion from the massive robot.

What just happened?! Izuku tried to focus on his surroundings. I'm moving way too fast, if I hit something right now I'll be seriously injured! Before he could react he already crashed.

AN: Wow, thank you all for the support. As of writing this I have 16 favorites, 23 followers, more than 500 views, and four reviews as well! Writing this story has been a blast so far, although the next chapter might take me a while, I've got exams and projects coming up. I think I made it clear enough, but for those who didn't get it Izuku's sudden power build up in this chapter came from Omega finally waking up. Destroying a whole bunch of robots like he used to do would definitely help wake him up. Yeah, the reason he hasn't talked at all so far is because he was recovering from his fight in ZX. If you have any questions about this leave them in the reviews and I'll answer them next chapter. Also for those who are wondering why Bakugo is far worse to Izuku in my story than in canon that's because how I've changed canon so far. In canon Bakugo changes after the slime incident and learns more restraint. The slime incident never happened to him here so he never really gets humbled nor does he get to see Izuku's heroic side in that incident.

Now for the reviews: Thank you Gapmoe for the support! Hearing how much you like my story really motivates me. For the guest review, I suggest trying to write the story yourself! There's probably 100 unwritten story ideas for every written story. For the longest time I worried about whether people would like my writing or not, but in the end I realized I should write for myself too. You can't just hand over your story to someone else, only you can write the story you want to see. What I'm trying to say is don't be afraid to try. Not everyone will like your story and this might be even more so with so many different crossover series, but if you write it yourself you'll feel a certain sense of satisfaction you won't get otherwise.

Next time: Izuku gets into U.A.! But his relationship with Bakugo is even worse than before! He'll also learn more about Omega!
