Part 2 is here! As promised! See! And you all thought I was lying. Take that naysayers!
*I forgot to mention this last time, I thought I did but I forgot. But Inspector Tezuka is straight out of the Ducktales reboot series.
*PLEASE* check out my new side story for this story called "Heroes Never Die; It's Hero Time, Anytime." You will find an assortment of one-shots that take place in the canon of this main story. Most are really short little stories but there are full chapters there such as "OVA: My Zombie Academia." Which is a great change from the norm and is again canon to the main story.
*This story has a TV Tropes page so feel free to check it out.*

"I can't believe I'm here!" Izuku cheers, his eyes wide and sparkling with child-like wonder. "I finally get to explore TOKYO!"
"MIDORIYA!"
Hisashi pales as the crow-head woman marches forward. "Ah, Officer Tezuka. Hello. What are you doing in Tokyo-OW!"
With one swift motion the officer managed to grab Hisashi by his arms and throw him against the hood of her car!
"Keeping it safe from corrupt scumbags like you." She snarls.
"Midoriya?"
Izuku freezes, the voice of familiarity snapping him out of his shock and fear. "Tokoyami?"
"Sooo, your mom's a cop. That's cool."
Tokoyami smiles. "Yes, I'm very proud of her and her work."
"Cool! I bet you're learning a lot."
"Indeed I am." Tokoyami pauses, hesitating before finally asking. "Sorry if this seems intrusive but may I ask why my mother wants to arrest your father?"
Hisashi takes a moment to collect his thoughts before delving into it. "When I was still stationed here on Earth I used to patrol right here in Tokyo as a pro hero. But as you're well aware that is just a means for me to conduct Plumber work. Well one day I intercepted a pair of…"unique" characters. And well they were on a mission to stop a killer alien robot from destroying the planet. I joined them but there was an incident, and our covert op was discovered by Offi-I mean Inspector Tezuka. We ran and I was reported in for assisting supposed villains. Long story short, obviously we managed to save the day but because I couldn't allow the police to get their hands on the aliens or their tech, I had to make sure everyone escaped the scene unnoticed. And as a result, I was labeled as a felon and conspirer of villains."
Ragnarok holds his chin up as he glares down at the human. "Do you understand just how foolish you were to challenge me? My solar energy beams can burn through anything, even your own flames, Plumber."
Cinder swings the rod forth, his thumb pressing down on the pressure gauge while crying out the weapon's name. "Amenonuhoko!"
"Farewell, Plumbers." Ragnarok aims his glowing claw down upon the downed duo. "I will cherish your demise till the end of my days."
A veil of flames erupts forth, interfering and blocking the Midoriyas from view.
"I know how you feel." Endeavor smirks. "I've been waiting for that pathetic waste of space to drop dead for years."
"You're here too, Todoroki?!" Izuku gasps.
Shoto hurries to the Midoriyas' side. "Yeah, and honestly sad to say I'm not surprised to see you here too."
"Hi there! Is this one with you?" He points to Izuku's feet dangling out from his belly fat.
"He is." Shoto responds.
"Oh, oops!" The man inhales and with it Izuku falls out with a pop! "Sorry about that kid! I was aiming for the other guy."
Izuku gasps for air. "It's…all…good. Oh, wait, you're Fatgum!"
"Lucy Mann reporting for duty Mr. Cinder, sir! "Eheheh! *Snort!* Eheheh!"
Hisashi explains. "She's a Sludgepuppy."
"Oh, right" She almost forgot. "My mission…is to stop Ragnarok."
She speaks definitely not at all mixing her words. "His ship has the ability to drain energy from stars, destroying them in the process. Once he's drained a star and killed it he sells the energy off to the highest bidder. With no care of how or what they'll use it for."
"My mission was to infiltrate and investigate Ragnarok's ship. During my investigation I discovered the source of his power and the key to controlling his entire ship. And so I stole it before he could activate it. Unfortunately, I was discovered immediately after. I managed to hijack his teleporter and beam myself down to Earth. And he's been chasing me ever since."
"I just need a way to get the key back to Plumber Academy where it can be locked up for good and put a stop to Ragnarok's crimes once and for all."
"We're here and…" Hisashi drags his finger across the map, sliding it across to the literal other side of the city. "and here in the Adachi-district is where most of Tokyo's alien population reside."
Izuku's not sure why that's useful. "How's that help us?"
"It helps because that means that they'll have resources available for us. Like a ship."
Lucy pats Izuku on the shoulder. "I'm in your hands." She looks to her superior. "Both of yours."
'You were right, Tezuka.' Hisashi thinks with an ironic smile. 'This does all seem suspiciously familiar.'
Cinder chuckles. "Aw, Magister Patelliday! How you doing you old coot?"
["We just received word from Plumber HQ that a rogue scientist has decided to bring quote-on-quote peace to this here planet."]
["You're not going at this alone. To help defeat this quack and his creation Plumber HQ decided to send us our own little genius to help us. And they are bringing a specialized device tailored made to stopping this madman and his rampage."]
Cinder frowns, finding the aliens…not exactly what he expected. They're Galvan's which is great but…they're rather odd even for their species.
The two Galvans spot Cinder staring down at them, shrinking back in surprise.
"Oh, um," The taller one waves, smiling up at Cinder. "Hello Earthling."
The shorter one nods, hiding behind his friend. "We, um, come in peace."
Cinder raises an eyebrow. 'Well, these two are certainly…unique.'
Cannon Busters Opening - Showdown
(Beginning Instrumentals)
An open road, a bright sun illuminating the beautiful summer day, and the rush of wind in one's ears as the Rustbucket cruises by moving across the road like a sports car before zooming past with grace.
We got places to go, things to do, people to see, and we got to get it done right away.
Izuku adjusts his hoodie, tugging it down over his body. All before gripping the dial of the Omnitrix and giving it a shine with his fingers.
So if you on the crew, guess we a team. Thicker than thieves and we all tryna help find a way
Hisashi buttons up his Hawaiian short, before grabbing his respirator and dawning it over his maw. He then snatches up a few loose tickets and pamphlets before tucking them away.
If you know the destination, we making conversation. Time is ticking, sun is setting, we got no time for waiting
Chopper latches his leg to his body, readjusting it. Before his arms pop out and flex about making sure they're working properly.
Might be the showdown, Looks like it's 'bout to go down
Bust through with the cannon, at the hoedown

Izuku grins falling through the air alongside Rath, Wildvine, and several other inhuman silhouettes! As the glow of the sunrise illuminates U.A. in the background!
We've been on this road too long, so long
Hisashi and Izuku stand back to back looking away from each other as the scene rotates around them.

A legion of villains have their backs to the camera but as the camera slides through their line up, each of them turn to acknowledge the audience.
Kraab's claw flexes and clamps nearly clipping the camera.
Rojo folds their arms together and smirks as the camera rolls past.
Sunder raises his axe at the ready.
Silhouette (C) stands tall and proud, towering over the camera.
Nue bares a sharp tooth grin, his eyes gleaming with malice before the camera zooms away and up into to the forbidding sky, through the void of space, through the walls of the command ship, before halting before an all observing Vilgax.
Playing with fire (Fire!)
Take me higher
From up in the air Cinder releases a cloud of flames down upon Rojo below! Rojo cuts through the flames before rocketing up and clashing with the hero in midair!
We're on our way, we're on our way
Undivided (-Vided!)
All Might zooms past, his grin wide, as he slams his fist into Silhouette (C)! Silhouette (C) crashes into the ground, kicking up smoke, but it rises again, unharmed.
And ignited
We're on our way, we're on our way, yeah!
From the smoke cloud, Ochaco leaps back in a spin as Sunder soars after her. Sunder his axe at her but she counters it with a Ryou Sphere!
On our way, we're going
Nue grins madly as he stares down Deku who grins back just as determined and manically.
And no mistakes while we're rolling around town

Ch.55 More Than Meets the Eye Part II
##########(Flashback)#########
Cinder stares down at the little Galvans in disbelief. "Seriously, you two are the reinforcements?"
The pair of Galvans hesitate, giving each other somewhat nervous looks before the fatter of the two answers back.
"W-why of course we are, Earthling."
"Yeah!" shouts the thinner one. "What were you expecting?"
Cinder shrugs, shaking his head. "I don't know a Tetramand or maybe an Appoplexian? You know someone with a little more…oomph."
The bigger of the two Galvans frowns, offended. "That is rather insulting, Earthling. I will have you know that us Galvans are far superior in intellect to any other beings you may find."
Cinder frowns, raising an eyebrow. "Right, and what exactly can I call these two superior intellectual beings?" He gestures to said beings.
The taller one is more than happy to answer "I'm Blukic and this is my friend Driba."
Driba nods. "That we are, and we're here to assist in any way we can sir…" He holds, allowing Cinder to introduce himself.
"Midoriya, Hisashi Midoriya." Cinder introduces. "But while you're here, call me Cinder."
Driba frowns, confused. "Cinder?"
Blukic starts. "Oh, right I heard that many of the Plumbers here on Earth take up aliases to hide their identities."
"That's dumb."
"It's not." Cinder defends before moving on to address their flying saucer, which may or may not have been shot out of the sky. "Well, what happened? Were you two attacked?"
Blukic and Driba hesitate again, looking at each other in silent worry.
"Oh, oh yeah we sure were!" Driba spits out in a hurry. "We were, um, fired out of the sky!"
Blukic shakily nods his head. "Oh, yes, most definitely!"
The two Galvans give the human wide sheepish grins, hoping he'll buy it.
He doesn't. "Then how come there aren't any scorch marks left behind by laser fire?"
The two's smiles wash away in an instant.
"We were boarded!" shouts Blukic.
Cinder frowns, even more suspicious of them. "Really a ship that was specifically made to carry Galvans was boarded?"
Blukic pauses before answering. "Yes."
"Oh, you two are gonna be fun." Cinder rolls his eyes, mumbling under his breath. "So, um, what exactly are your…positions within the Plumbers."
Driba is quick to answer. "I will have you know that we are-"
However, Blukic obliviously cuts in. "We're Tech Support."
"Tech Support?!" Cinder gasp! "I thought HQ was sending me a field agent, not the Geek Squad?!" Cinder pauses, before turning away. "Excuse me for a moment fellas." Turning away he pulls out his badge and calls Patelliday. "Patelliday?! What is going on here?"
["I'm just as confused as you are."] responds the Magister from the other end. ["We were supposed to be sent one agent, not two. Perhaps there was a communications mix-up. But either way their main objective was to deliver the device."]
"Right." Cinder sighs, pulling his badge away as he re-addresses the duo. "So, fellas. You were supposed to deliver something to help. Is that right?"
Driba gasps. "Um, oh, yes we were!"
And with that both Blukic and Driba rush back into their flying saucer leaving Cinder outside to wait.
Cinder waits beside the small ship, listening in as the duo shout and clatter around for the device.
"Where is it?"
"It's over here!"
"No, it's not, I specifically remember us putting it over here!"
"That's not right, Driba. I know for a fact we put it in here."
"Ah I found it! See Blukic I told you it was here."
"I'll never doubt you again, Driba."
Blukic and Driba scurry back out of the ship with the device in hand.
Cinder frowns, eyeing the strange alien device.
Honestly it looks like a pair of high-tech alien tweezers that can fit in the palm of Cinder's hand. With two sharp pincers linked to a bulbous green engine that encapsulates a strange greenish energy of ooze inside a small tube.
"What is it?" asks Cinder.
"That Earthling is the Galvanian Skeuomorph." answers Driba. "The very device that will save your planet."
Cinder frowns, eyeing the device critically. "A goober."
Driba frowns. "Pardon?"
"You know a goober." Cinder defends. "That's what I call these McGuffin type things. I mean there's always a flashdrive, or a virus, or a key that saves the day. So I call it a goober to make things easy." He explains as he takes the device from Driba.
"Right…but in any case, please be careful with the Skeuomorph. It has the potential to destroy a radius of 400 meters."
Cinder spittakes, nearly dropping the Skeuomorph in shock! "It can destroy a city block!?"
"I said it had the potential to." Driba corrects.
"Try to listen, Earthling." chastises Blukic.
Cinder frowns. "Call me Cinder, not Earthling."
"Right, of course…Mr. Cinder sir."
"Yeah." Cinder pockets the device, making sure not to agitate it too much as he does so. "Well fellas thanks for the delivery. But if you don't mind, I have a job to do." With a salute he turns away, ready to get going.
However, the duo are quick to shout out.
"Wait!"
"Now just hold on for one minute there, Mr. Cinder sir!"
Cinder pauses, allowing them a moment to speak.
Driba shys away under Cinder's gaze. "W-we, um, can't go back until we've seen the mission through."
Cinder's stare narrows. "Oh, really?"
"Yes, because, um, well, um-"
Blukic cuts in, defending his friend. "Because the Skeuomorph is highly sensitive and we can't risk it going haywire on you!"
Driba nods, relieved to have an alibi. "Exactly!"
"Uh, huh?" Cinder's not quite buying it.
Driba continues. "That's why we insist that we accompany you on this mission."
"Um, I'm not sure that's exactly a…smart idea."
"Well, we think it is." Driba smirks, gesturing to himself and his partner.
Who chimes in with. "And we're geniuses."
Cinder pauses, wondering if these two really do mean it. "Well, I'm not sure if you're aware or not but aliens aren't exactly common knowledge on Earth if you know what I mean."
Blukic clearly doesn't know. "What does that mean?"
Driba, however, does. "He's talking about how small minded most Earthlings are. Apparently, they have an instinctual fear of the unknown."
Blukic shakes his head in pity. "My my, must be a sad existence. Pushing anyone and everyone away just because they're different. No wonder Earthlings can never come to solutions effectively."
Okay even Cinder felt the sting of truth behind that. And it frikin hurts. "In any case…I can't exactly pocket you guys and call you my pet frogs."
Driba smirks, waving the Plumber off. "No need for that Mr. Cinder sir."
Blukic breaks into a wide grin as well. "We have our own means of getting around."
On que the flying saucer ejects out a droid from its side. The droid stands up on its own, moving around on auto-piolet as it turns to face the hero and the aliens.
The droid is nearly as tall as Cinder with a very humanoid form. Its body is thin and metallic with an array of wires coiled and protruding from its limbs. Its head is small and narrow with round yellow eyes.
Blukic grins up at the droid. "Say hello to the PROXY drone!"
[Look up "PROXY droid from Star Wars."]
Cinder eyes PROXY curiously. "What is it?"
"It's our disguise." answers Driba. "It's capable of generating a hologram around itself, allowing the rider to blend right into the populous."
Blukic and Driba hurry to the droid, climbing up its thin frame to its chest. The chest rips open revealing a small cockpit inside.
Blukic smiles up at Cinder. "We can pilot this drone from inside."
Cinder eyes the cockpit, noticing how there's only one seat. "Why does the cockpit only seat one?"
The two Galvans jolt, startled by the revelation before they turn and give the hero the same excuse. "Budget cuts."
Cinder doesn't buy it either but they're running out of time and honestly, he's kinda done with this. "Fine, I guess you two can tag along."
The two share wide grins before they clammer inside, but with a seating of one it isn't that much of a comfortable squeeze.
"Hey, watch it!"
"No, you watch it!"
"Get your foot out of my face, Driba!"
"Blukic, get your face out of my foot!"
After a minute of them squeezing themselves inside they're finally able to close the hatch up.
PROXY stands up straight as a hologram washes over its form. And within seconds Cinder finds himself standing before a holographic image of a fellow human. This one thin and gangly with dark hair and sunken in face.
[Think of "B'arzz O'oomm" and his Human Guise from DC's Young Justice series.]
"I'll admit it, the hologram's pretty cool." Cinder admits, admiring the ingenuity. "Speaking of, can you guys do anything about that?" he points to their downed flying saucer.
PROXY turns and responds back with Driba's voice. "Oh, yes, of course."
After a moment the ship's own holographic technology activates and soon the ship and the damage it wrought vanishes, hidden away under an illusion of untouched forest and earth.
PROXY turns to Cinder, speaking with Driba's voice. "Well Mr. Cinder sir." And then it switches to Blukic. "Let's get this here mission done!"
'I have a bad feeling about this.' Cinder thinks, not exactly sure why he feels the way he does. "By the way, where's this mad scientist supposed to appear?"
PROXY responds. "Oh, in a little Earthling village not too far from here."
"Really? What's it called?"
Driba tries to recall the name. "Toy-Tokkk-Tokyo. Yeah, Tokyo!"
Cinder pales, stunned. "Nani?!"
Meanwhile, atop of one of Tokyo's many skyscrapers a bright blinding light statics adobe the city. A portal breaks through the night sky, summoning forth an alien being.
The portal vanishes and outcomes forth a humanoid alien of white, grey and black in color. Almost like he was taken right out of a film from the 1950s. Even his appearance was more fictitious like how humans would have perceived aliens back then as grey men with antennas and sharp ears. His costume is outlandish and odd while an emblem of a planet with two rings is displayed across his chest.
The alien smiles down at the shining city and its oblivious inhabitants. "People of Earth! Prepare for peace for I am Benevelon!"
As he speaks another portal forms at the base of the tower, this one much larger than the one that summoned him.
"Come B.L.R.R.T.!" Benevelon chants, smiling gleefully. "Let us bring blessed bliss to this planet!"
Suddenly a giant mass of metal drops down onto the city street, the portal vanishing all at once. The giant opens his gaze which falls upon the terrified Earthlings below.
"His name's Benevelon?" Cinder gawks as he and PROXY dash through the city.
"That is correct." responds Driba from inside PROXY.
"And he's here to bring "peace" to us?"
"Yes."
"Huh, talk about backwards logic."
"Indeed."
As they dash through the city in record time Cinder's badge rings, alerting him of an incoming call.
Cinder holds the badge to his ear. "What's up Patelliday?"
["Cinder?!"] Patelliday's voice shouts from the badge. ["What are you doing?!"]
"Hey, don't blow up at me, I just picked up the package."
["Well, I'll tell you what's blowing up. The entirety of downtown Tokyo!"]
Cinder halts to a stop just in front of an electronics store. "What are you on about…?"
His voice trails away as he turns towards the electronic store and it's wall of TVs. The TVs are alight, broadcasting live coverage of the battle taking place downtown. A battle of heroes and police against a massive robot taken from a 1950s movie!
Cinder takes off for the scene. "We're on our way!"
["You better!"]
########(End Flashback)#######
Hisashi sits back, his eyes staring out into the distance not at all aware of his surroundings and instead soaks in his memories. And what better place to be lost in thought than on a bus that's filled with friendly people who are all lost in their own little worlds.
In the seat in front of him, Izuku spins around and gives his dad an odd look. "Should you really be wearing that?" He points to Hisashi's hero costume.
Hisashi looks down as his red Plumber suit. "Why not?"
"Isn't the point not to stand out?"
Hisashi shrugs, leaning back and enjoying the smooth bus ride. "It's Tokyo there are heroes and cosplayers everywhere." He gestures towards the window.
Izuku peers out and sure enough spots a group of Sailor Moon cosplayers hanging out on the sidewalk. There also someone parading around in a Master Chief costume too. As they continue heroes and sidekicks pop into view every now for example at one-point Izuku spots a bald guy in a yellow suit, white cape, and red gloves hanging out with what he thinks might have been a cyborg, but the bus was moving a bit too fast for him to get a good look.
Izuku turns back to his dad, giving him a questioning look. "So, you're hiding in plain sight, then?"
Hisashi smiles and nods. "Exactly."
Izuku's eyes narrow. "…You forgot your disguise back on the shopping street, didn't you?"
"Yeah, I totally forgot about it."
"Knew it." Izuku turns back around and sits back in his seat beside Lucy who's enthralled by the bright lights and colorful sights Tokyo has to offer even while stuck inside a bus.
Even though traffic is bad they still decided to take the bus to the Adachi-district. It seemed like a good idea at the time, allowing them to hide in plain sight, they stay covered while still on the move, and they don't have to walk so a win-win.
Although he can do without being crammed into his seat and the loud wailing of the toddler in the seat in front of him. "Waaaaaahh! Waaaaaahh!"
His mother is trying her best to calm him, leaning him up against his shoulder the little guy continues to cry and cry.
Lucy fidgets in her seat wanting to help settle the toddler, when she has an idea. Her hands turn back into sludge that melds and slithers about becoming all sorts of bright colors and shapes.
The tearful toddler watches as her sludge turns from green to red to blue to yellow before becoming cartoonish versions of animals like dogs and sheep. She has them prance around like a pair of sock puppets before remolding them into bunnies.
"Ehehehe!" The toddle giggles, smiling cheerfully as the puppets.
Izuku, although glad to see the child smiling, can't help but be worried. "Should you really be doing that here?"
"It's fine." Lucy smiles, continuing with her little show. "What's the harm?"
Izuku supposes nothing and sits back, staring out of the opposite window.
Too bad he hadn't decided to look through the nearest window instead. If he had he might have just barely made out the nearly invisible silhouette of a camouflaged scout drone. The drone's surveillance zooms in on Lucy's transforming hands before pulling back and gliding away.
But the occupants are none the wiser, happily enjoying their cheap ride to their destinations. Or they would be if the bus hadn't suddenly come to a screeching halt, nearly throwing everyone out of their seats.
"Waaaaaahh! Waaaaaahh!" The toddler wails, startled by the sudden whiplash.
"Move it, you idiot! Get off the road!" The bus driver shouts, honking his horn.
The other passengers all stand up, trying to get a look and as a result blocking the Midoriyas' and Lucy's view.
Izuku tries to peer over but he's too short to see anything past people's shoulders. "Why'd we stop?"
"Traffic?" Lucy suggests with a shrug.
Hisashi stands up and tries to sneak a peek. Through the cracks between people's heads he manages to get a quick glimpse of a scowling Ragnarok marching through traffic making a beeline right for their bus.
Hisashi dawns his respirator, grabbing Izuku by his shoulder, alerting him. "Get ready to run."
Izuku and Lucy nod, already picking up on the situation.
Cinder slips through the crowd, signaling the bus driver to open the door which he does, allowing Cinder to exit and approach Ragnarok. "Isn't it weird how you always run into people you know when you're in the city? I mean what are the chances?"
Ragnarok pauses, surprised to see the Plumber before quickly getting over it. "Extremely likely."
"Ominous." Cinder laughs.
"Enough games Plumber." Ragnarok growls. "I know that thief is with you. Hand her over along with the key and I promise not to bring harm to you and your…spawn."
"I can't help but feel like that's an empty promise, considering what you're gonna use that key for."
Ragnarok takes that as a no. "Is that your choice?"
"It is. But now I'm gonna give you a choice." Cinder's smile turns sour, his gaze narrowing like a predator that's entering the hunt. "I can bring you in warm," He brandishes his Amenonuhoko and ignites the ends. "Or I can bring you in…hot."
Ragnarok's scowl darkens in response. "Burn in hell, Red Spot." His fists glow ready to strike.
Cinder charges forth before he can, swiftly dodging the incoming beam before swinging his spear forward. The two clash, throwing strikes and swings at each other, one after the other, vying for control of the battle.
Lucy and Izuku watch uselessly from inside the bus, waiting for an opening to slip away but they have another problem: no one on the bus is running away! And not just them but pedestrians on the street have stopped to watch on with their phones, finding the fight more as entertainment than a need to seek shelter.
Lucy pulls Izuku's attention. "We should leave, now."
"How?"
The two scan for an answer.
"There!" Izuku points towards the subway entrance.
Lucy pulls on Izuku's arm. "Let's hurry while he's distracted."
"Hang on." The greenette pulls his arm free so he can unlock the Omnitrix. "If we gotta leave Dad behind then we might as well make a "run" for it." He dials up the appropriate alien for the job. "Lucy, meet XLR8!"
When the Omnitrix's energy encompasses his entire being, Izuku expects to feel his limbs stretch and bend. But instead, his entire body feels like it's inflating, bloating to impossibly large proportions from his fingers to his feet and head. His spine stretches and expands making him feel stiff and heavy before the transformation washes away and suddenly the already cramped bus becomes far more cramped than before.
People yelp and shout as the bus becomes too tightly packed as a heavy weight presses against their backs.
Lucy gasps, when she can finally see again. "I-Izuku?!"
"It…sure…is a tight…fit in here." Responds the large new alien, squeezed between the seats and other patrons.
Izuku tries to have a look at himself peering into the window to find his reflection staring back at him. This new alien is a hulking, broad-shouldered alien covered in some sort of natural, yellow armor plating on his back, shoulders, and arms. His underbelly is mostly white with trims of black, like that of a panda. His maw is large and filled with sharp teeth, his eyes wide and blinking at his new form.
"What am I?" The new alien ponders aloud.
"I…I think you're an Arburian Pelarota." Lucy whispers in his ear.
"That's…a mouthful."
"Well, they're sometimes known as Tortugans."
"Tortugan." The Tortugan repeats, allowing the species' name to roll off his tongue. "Dang it Omnitrix, this is two for two now that you gave me the wrong guy…" He grumbles, whining to himself.
"Why'd you turn into this of all things?"
"I wasn't trying to!"
"Well…come on!" Lucy leaps over the seats and slips past the other riders.
The Tortugan tries his best to squeeze through the bus. "Excuse me. Pardon me."
"Ow!"
"Watch it!"
"Jerk!"
"I'm so sorry!" The Tortugan apologies as he tries to step out of the bus but his feet are too large and stubby and so he slips, losing his balance. "Woah-woah!" And he falls, crashing through the door, breaking it, and landing on the road with a loud thunk.
"Oops." The Tortugan frowns as Lucy tries to help him up.
At the same time, Ragnarok manages to spot Lucy. "The thief!"
The Tortugan gasps. "Double oops!"
Ragnarok fires off a powerful beam of solar energy at the teens.
Lucy leaps away but the clumsy Tortugan isn't so limber and so the beam hits him, blasting him into the air!
"Waaah!" The Tortugan flies through the air before crashing down onto an unsuspecting car.
The car's hood is smashed in as the road burns as a result of Ragnarok's powerful beams.
And finally, after witnessing someone other than a hero being attacked the pedestrians finally realize the danger. They immediately panic like headless chickens running away in every direction, hoping to save themselves.
Ragnarok trails his lasers after Lucy.
"Keep your eyes on me!" shouts Cinder as he swings his flaming staff at Ragnarok's head.
Ragnarok blocks and proceeds to retaliate.
Lucy rushes to the Tortugan's side. "You good?"
"Surprisingly…I am." The transformed Izuku admits, shoving himself off the smashed car. "This new guy can really take a punch." Must be thanks to that thick shiny armor.
"Yah!"
Hearing his father yell, the Tortugan watches as Cinder takes on Ragnarok.
"I just hope he can pack a punch too." The Tortugan attempt to step forward.
"No!" Lucy stops him. "We need to stay on mission."
The Tortugan pauses, hesitating, weighing his options. "You're right."
"Follow me!" Lucy turns and makes a dash for the nearby subway.
"Wait for me!" The Tortugan tries to run after her but it's slow going, he's giving it all his might, but it becomes very clear that this alien was not meant to run.
"Hurry!" Lucy shouts, waiting for him by the entrance.
"Uh, uh…" The Tortugan's already out of breath just from that short run. He keels over, winded and trying to catch his breath. "Does the Omnitrix have…a sense of humor or something? If I wanted to go slow, I would've gone with Terraspin."
"Quit goofing off!" Lucy shouts, leaping down the steps and into the subway.
"I'm not!" The Tortugan shouts before trying to follow after her. "Woah!" Thanks to his tubby feet he slips almost immediately, sliding and bouncing down the steps like a stray beachball.
As Ragnarok fends Cinder off, he spots the teens fleeing into the underground. "I will not allow you to escape me again!"
Ragnarok unleashed a brilliant explosion of light that blasts Cinder away, tossing him through the window of a nearby convenience store.
Now free, Ragnarok chases after the teens into the subway, rushing past dazed and terrified civilians.
Cinder groans in pain, wobbling out of the store, holding his head. He scans the street and just barely misses Ragnarok disappearing into the subway.
Meanwhile, Lucy bobs and weaves through the crowded subway station as on-goers go about their day oblivious to the battle above ground. She sprints nearly running into various bystanders until coming to a screeching halt just above the train tracks, nearly falling in in the process.
She spins around, looking for Izuku only to see bystanders parting to allow the large and out of breath Tortugan through.
"Why are you running?" She shouts in disbelief.
The Tortugan frowns, coming to a stop beside her and trying to catch his breath. "Shouldn't I be?"
Suddenly a stray solar beam whizzes over their heads, any closer and they would've lost their heads.
Immediately the crowded subway is filled with terrified screams and panicking people.
The two aliens spin around to find Ragnarok marching his way through the panicked sea of pedestrians as if they're not even there. "Hand it over, thief."
Lucy looks for a way out. "This way!" Without waiting she leaps down onto the tracks and takes off running down into the tunnel.
"Are you crazy?!" The Tortugan shouts but she's already at a full sprint. "I'll take that as a yes." And so, he clumsily hops, or rather tumbles, down onto the tracks before running/waddling off after her.
Ragnarok scowls in annoyance before pursuing after them.
As he hops down onto the tracks, Cinder shoves and weaves his way through the panicked flood of people fleeing the scene. As he fights against the wave of people, he scans for Ragnarok only to be too late as he's already disappeared into the tunnels. As he shoves and snakes his way down a large mechanical machine catches his eye. Peering over Cinder spots a hi-rail parked along the second pair of train tracks.
Back within the tunnels, the two teens duck and run as solar beams fly over their heads.
The transformed Izuku covers his large head as more beams fly their way. "This guy is unrelenting.!"
"You're telling me!" Lucy shouts from the front.
"Surrender now!" Ragnarok roars as he concentrates his beams together and unleashes a massive blast of light towards Lucy's retreating form.
"Look out!" The Tortugan throws himself in the way, taking the hit for Lucy.
The beam slams into his armored back but instead of blasting him to bits the beam is reflected away, dispersing it and leaving nothing more but a temporary scorch on the Tortugan's hard shell.
"Nice!" Lucy cheers, grabbing the Tortugan's hand and pulling him along. "How'd you know that Tortugan's shells were nearly impenetrable?"
"I…didn't."
The two teens slide to a halt atop a set of tracks as they enter a massive intersection of train tracks, resulting in a massively wide underground dome, lined with a numerous number of tunnels that stretch to every corner of the city.
"I tire of this chase, Plumbers."
The teens spin around to find Ragnarok blocking one of said tunnels.
"Give me what is rightfully mine before I burn you all to ash."
The Tortugan scowls back, stomping forward, putting himself between Ragnarok and Lucy. "You know I might be a newbie but I'm already getting tired of you bad guys and your standard monologuing."
"Be it as it may. You can't escape me." Ragnarok takes in the wide underground system, surveying the battlefield before re-addressing the teens. "This place will be your grave."
"See that's where you're wrong." The transformed Izuku makes a subtle gesture for Lucy to get behind him, which she does. "You're just an annoying tourist who doesn't know the first thing about our culture. If you did you'd know that humans are a…stubborn bunch. And two you'd know that we're real creative types. And three," A large smirk stretches across the Tortugan's lips. "you really should've learned about our city planning."
Ragnarok frowns, fidget the last statement odd. "What?"
The Tortugan grins as a bright light shines behind him, blinding Ragnarok while a loud booming horn and the screech of metal against metal roars through the tunnels.
The Tortugan dives out of the way with Lucy in toe, just in the knick of time.
Ragnarok gasps before leaping out of the way, nearly getting himself run over by this planet's primitive means of locomotion.
He gets back up, looking but failing to find an opening between the speeding train cars, even so he can still see the teens cowering on the other side.
"Raaaghh!" He roars, awaiting his moment to attack.
The Tortugan gulps. "He's not gonna quit."
"I know." Lucy scowls in frustration. It's become very clear that they won't be able to outrun him like this. They need to slow him down first. "With no one around, what do you say about having another go at him?"
The Tortugan slams his arms together, as if his pads were a pair of drums. "I'm willing to give it a shot."
Lucy smirks as her sludge washes over her and she dawns her more alien-human hybrid like persona.
The train zooms by, disappearing into the tunnel.
"You were right." A maddened Ragnarok marches forth. "You humans really are a stubborn lot."
And so, he fires, intent of ending them.
The Tortugan jumps in the way, blocking the attack with his arm, using his armor to reflect the beam away.
Lucy stretches up, molding and slithering up and around the large alien, quickly slithering close for an attack.
With attention diverted at the Tortugan she gets in close from below reforming and leaping up, slamming her foot into the bottom of his skull!
"Insolent worm!" Ragnarok seethes, swiping at her but his claws harmlessly pass through her malleable form.
"Ya!" She spins around, delivering a rolling kick into his side.
"Rah!" Ragnarok roars, firing a beam and forcing her back!
"Yah!" The Tortugan charges in close and takes a swipe at the mad alien with his large, padded claws.
But he's far too slow and lacks the power as Ragnarok blocks his arm while jabbing the Tortugan's stomach with his free hand. His fist glowing brightly before delivering a beam into his underside!
"Gahh!" The Tortugan gags as he's blasted backwards, coming to a stop when he crashes into the wall. "Ah, ow!" Falling, he rubs at his scorched aching belly. "Okay…now that hurts. Like really hurts. Ow."
Meanwhile, Lucy does her best to avoid the incoming beams, managing to allow them to pass through her but one hit will surely fry her. "What are you doing, newbie?! Fight back!"
"What do you think I'm trying to do?!" The Tortugan struggles to get himself up, nearly falling over again in the process. "I'm not used to this guy!"
"We'll figure it out!" Lucy shouts before leaping away, evading another scorching beam.
With Ragnarok not focused on him, the Tortugan pauses, taking a moment to figure out what exactly this…guy can do. "What does he even do?"
Well one way to find out.
The transformed Izuku takes a deep breath, turns away and exhales as if he could breathe fire. But of course, nothing happens but a whiff of bad alien breath. "So much for breathing fire. Hm?" What else is there? Oh! "Maybe I can fire freeze rays from my eyes." He squats down and focuses, squinting his eyes as hard as he can.
*Toot!*
The Tortugan blushes, waving at his backside, hoping no one noticed.
"Magnetic blasts?" He raises his claw towards the nearby tracks: he twists and bends his stubby claws as best as he can manage hoping something, anything will happen.
But of course, nothing does.
"Stop goofing around already!" Lucy seethes as she's stuck in close quarters combat with Ragnarok.
"I know! I know!" The Tortugan tries his best to rush to help Lucy even if he can't properly use this guy.
He wobbles over the tracks only to trip over them, taking a tumble and landing on his back atop of them.
The Tortugan blinks, annoyed trying to pull himself up to no avail. After a few attempts he sighs, giving up. "Omnitrix…if you're listening…next time you give me a new alien please let it be something that's useful."
Suddenly the tracks begin to vibrate violently as a bright blinding light washes over him and the roar of an incoming train and its horn screeches in his ears.
"Waahhhh!" The Tortugan screams as a train steamrolls right for him.
The conductor honks the horn over and over again in a panic, watching useless as the train speeds towards the massive alien.
Lucy spots the downed Tortugan. "Izuku!" But before she can even attempt to get to him Ragnarok cuts her off with a scorching beam of light, forcing her back.
The train roars, announcing the Tortugan's demise.
"Waahhh!" Out of instinct the Tortugan tucks his head in only for his body to naturally curl up into a perfect yellow sphere.
WHAM!
The train drives right through the alien but instead of squashing him to hit the rolled up Tortugan and sends him flying. His body spinning through the air, his spherical body bouncing off the walls like a tennis ball. The Tortugan even ricochets off the speeding train, unintentionally being redirected towards Ragnarok.
Ragnarok gasps as the ricocheting's spinning mass zooms towards him.
WHAM!
The spinning Tortugan slams into Ragnarok so hard that he sends him flying back, where he himself crashes into the wall, leaving behind a massive crater in the process.
The Tortugan finally comes to a stop, his curled-up body falling beside Lucy before he unravels allowing the very surprised yet impressed Tortugan to stand up and take in what he's done.
"Woah! Did you see that?!" He asks with a huge, excited grin on his face.
Lucy breaks into a grin as well. "I sure did! You were like a cannonball!"
"No, more like a." The Tortugan puffs out his chest and declares. "CANNONBOLT!"
"Hm…" Lucy pauses counseling the name. "Don't…hate it. But we could do better. How about Steamroller? Or Rollout? Oh, what about Roadkill?!"
"Nope!" Cannonbolt readily declares. "Cannonbolt it is. I'm already married to the name. No take backs."
Lucy can't help but chuckle, rolling her eyes at how juvenile it is that he even names his transformations as such.
"Ugh…" Ragnarok groans, stumbling his way out from the wall.
Cannonbolt breaks into a wide grin before he hops up and curls up back into a ball. His body spins in place before zooming forward!
In an attempt to counter the incoming attack, Ragnarok unleashes a solar beam in response.
However, the beam like before is easily reflected off Cannonbolt's spinning armor, refracting it in all directions as he speeds closer and closer.
Ragnarok spins to the right, narrowly avoiding the speeding Cannonbolt who races past and instead crashes into the wall.
After crashing Cannonbolt unfurls, wobbling onto his feet, turning around to try again. But instead, he is met with a punch to the face followed by a sweeping low kick that knocks him off his feet.
"Huh!" He groans as Ragnarok kicks him against the wall.
"Your skill is unrefined, unfocused." criticizes the mad alien, looming over the downed Cannonbolt.
Cannonbolt scowls in response, curling backup before charging forward in a straight line!
Ragnarok, however, sees the attack coming from a mile away. Sidestepping and allowing the sphere to harmlessly race by once again.
Cannonbolt tries but fails to come to a stop, crashing into the opposite wall instead.
"You lack discipline, boy. You flail about like a child, striking with no purpose or technique."
Becoming angry and frustrated, Cannonbolt charges once again, his armor tearing into the ground as he propels forward!
This time however Ragnarok doesn't dodge instead he braces himself and catches the spinning mass with his bare hands. He's shoved back but he holds his potion, fighting against Cannonbolt with nothing but his sheer will and strength.
"Allow me to show you what years of skill and technique can do."
With Cannonbolt stuck in place, Ragnarok brings his hand forward, holding out two glowing fingers. Concreting, the tips of his fingers glow brightly before unleashes a concentrated beam right into Cannonbolt's hide.
The thin yet powerful beam blasts Cannonbolt away, soaring through the air and crashing into the subway's ceiling before plummeting to the ground.
"Ugh! Ugh…" Cannonbolt groans, having felt that attack.
"Izuku!" Lucy rushes to his side, relieved to see him alright.
Ragnarok smirks, marching forward.
Lucy scowls back. "Raahh!" Her body morphs and expands, becoming her more accurate form. "Stay back!" She roars, lunging at him with her massive gooey arms and tendrils.
Ragnarok dodges and blasts the incoming tendrils away.
Lucy backs off, shrinking back to her alien-human form.
Ragnarok smirks. "Please, you can't possibly hope to defeat me."
Bright lights shine in his face from the side, blinding him, and making him flinch before WHAM a high speed hi-rail smashes into the villain!
"Got ya!" Cinder shouts as tucks and rolls out of the hi-rail!
The hi-rail speeds off, with Ragnarok glued to its front, it loses traction and slips off the tracks, flipping over and explodes into the wall bursting into flames and hot metal!
Cannonbolt jolts up in shock as the flames illuminate throughout the tunnel system. "Dad?!"
Cinder gets up. "You two alright?"
Lucy nods. "Yeah." She spots movement from within the flames. "Heads up!"
From inside the inferno, Ragnarok emerges, flames sliding off his body like the wind.
Cinder grips his spear, lighting a flame. "I got this. You two make a run for it."
Cannonbolt shakes his head worriedly. "But-"
"Go, Izuku!" Cinder shouts, cutting him off.
Cannonbolt's lips seal tightly, but he refuses to move.
Cinder takes a breath before looking into his son's eyes. "I'll be fine, champ. Promise."
Cannonbolt seems hesitant but after a moment he gives his father a nod. "Alright." He turns to Lucy. "Let's roll out!"
He grabs Lucy, curling his body up around her before rolling away in a haste. Spinning in place before ripping towards a random tunnel.
"No! Come back this instant!" Ragnarok seethes, firing after them.
Few of his beams hit the escaping Cannonbolt but they either reflect right off or blasts the alien further away.
Cannonbolt, struggling to make turns or even make out which way he's going bounces and ricochets off the walls going this way and that before luckily ping-ponging into another tunnel and speeding away in another direction.
"NO!" Ragnarok hurries forward in pursuit.
However, Cinder strikes at him with his Amenonuhoko: Dual Burn!
Ragnarok scowls, back stepping as he blocks the incoming strikes. He counter attacks but Cinder easily evades and parries.
Ragnarok growls in annoyance. "Step aside, Plumber. Or you won't see the light of day again." he pauses and smirks. "But then again if I succeed then your entire planet won't see the light of day again."
Cinder gives the alien a questionable look, raising an eyebrow. "Um, was that your attempt at persuasion?"
"Grr." Ragnarok snarls, frustrated and tired of this Earthling's antics.
He eyes the maze of tunnels and soon realizes that he's lost track of which tunnel his quarry had escaped through. He's turned around thanks to Cinder's assault and thus he now finds himself lost in this vast labyrinth unaware of his location or the whereabouts of his prey.
Cinder smirks. "You just realized it, didn't you?"
Ragnarok's silent anger is more than enough of a response.
"You'll never find them again." Cinder twirls the Amenonuhoko, its burning blades illuminating around him. "I'll make sure of it."
"We shall see." Ragnarok scowls as his fist glow bright. "Tell me where she is."
Cinder shrugs. "Don't know. And even if I did I wouldn't tell you, poser."
"Then you leave me no choice. Raagghh!" Ragnarok unleashes a blinding beam throughout the tunnels.
Cinder ducks out of the way, covering his eyes, anticipating incoming fire.
But as the light fades away he remains unharmed and untouched. He pokes his eyes out only to find nothing but a maze of tracks, a burning hi-rail, and labyrinth of tunnels before him. But Ragnarok is nowhere in sight.
Cinder kicks a rock in frustration. 'That was nothing but a lightshow!' He was never gonna attack. 'Idiot!' Not only did he allow for his quarry to escape but he failed to put this alien fiasco to a stop. "Dammit!" He screams in frustration.
Just then a rush of footsteps and unfamiliar voices echo through from nearby tunnels.
"Did you hear that?"
"This way!"
"Over here!"
Cinder spins around and spots the movement of search lights illuminating through the tunnels. Assuming it's the police he backs away before taking off into an empty tunnel.
He takes off at full speed, moving gracefully, his feet barely making sound as he dashes through the labyrinth. 'Hang in there, kids. I'm on my way!'
##########(Flashback)#########
It doesn't take too long before both Cinder and PROXY make it onto the scene and despite having a preview via the news, they are not prepared for the chaos they've found themselves in.
It's a warzone of heroes and police firing and battling away with the war machine.
The robot roars and unleashes a white static-like beam from its eye blasting away police cars, barricades, and heroes.
And despite already getting a glimpse at the monster Cinder is astounded by its sheer scale and power.
The robot is over 30 meters tall, its body composed of some sort of indestructible alloy, allowing it to tank anything and everything the heroes and police throw at it. It has long arms and legs that seem ridiculous at first glance, like they were made of tin piping. Its head is oval in shape, with an antenna on top and a single white eye glaring down at the city while a massive "B" is symbolized upon its chest.
"What is that?!"
Driba explains. "That is the Big, Large, Rampaging Robot of Terror."
Blukic chimes in. "In other words."
And together the Galvans respond with. "The B.L.R.R.T!"
B.L.R.R.T unleashes a powerful beam down upon the police and heroes. Many of the heroes dive in and shield the police via their Quirks and/or bodies but they can't hope to withstand the attack as they're all blasted away like flies taking on a water hose.
"What do we do?!" Scream the two Galvans.
"You stay here!" Cinder shouts. "If anyone finds out about you two, they'll lock you up and dissect you."
Blukic nervously laughs. "You're joking right?"
Cinder glowers in response.
Blukic and Driba gulp, sharing very worried looks.
More blasts echo through the streets as the B.L.R.R.T. continues its assault on the city.
"I gotta get in there!" without waiting Cinder rushes in to help.
The Galvans gasp, shouting after him. "Wait you have to use the Skeuo-" But he's already gone, and with the Skeuomorph forgotten in his pocket. "Uh, oh."
Meanwhile, Benevelon watches from above, watching from up high along with the helicopters of the police and news all of which are locked in on the battle below. "Yes, yes! Come Earthlings one and all, for I will grant you true peace in the universe! Hahaha!" He cackles, watching with glee as an Earthling cladded in red sprints towards their share of peace.
Back down on the ground, Officer Tezuka fires off round after round of her pistol at the bot, but nothing seems to faze it.
B.L.R.R.T soon takes notice of her taking cover behind a police cruiser. It locks on, swinging its long metallic arm up over its head before swinging it down!
"Look out!" Cinder dives in from out of nowhere and tackles her out of the way!
The two roll as the massive car crushes the police cruiser.
As they roll to a stop, Officer Tezuka breathes, her life nearly flashing before her eyes. "Thanks, Cinder."
"Don't mention it." Cinder greets as they both take cover between a building's entrance. "Care to fill me in?"
Tezuka eyes the rampaging robot as she informs Cinder of what they know. "Not much to say other than that thing suddenly appeared and began attacking anything that moves!"
Cinder frowns both with relief and disappointment. Relieved because it's clear neither the police nor heroes are aware of what the B.L.R.R.T actually is. But disappointed that they couldn't pinpoint a weakness.
Cinder turns and watches as B.L.R.R.T continues its attack, but Cinder's too focused on its massive eye.
Officer Tezuka notices the skimming look in Cinder's eye. "What are you thinking?"
Cinder smirks. "Nothing, just thinking about how badass I'll look," before finishes he takes off, springing right towards B.L.R.R.T. "when I take this thing out in one hit!"
Tezuka rolls her eyes, watching him dive headfirst into the fray. "Men."
Cinder reaches the B.L.R.R.T and just as it turns and locks onto him Cinder exhales and launches a Fire Breath right towards its eye.
The flames burst and engulf the bot's head and eye, burning at it like kindling.
Cinder smirks. "And that's how it's done."
B.L.R.R.T swats at the flames wiping them away like it was nothing more than a piece of paper in its face. The robot scans the street until it spots the one who dared to challenge it: Cinder.
The pro hero gulps. "My bad…"
B.L.R.R.T's eye glows before it unleashes a beam!
Panicked, Cinder dives out of the way, the blast nearly launching him away in the process. As he dives away, he slides across the ground hard and as a result the Skeuomorph tumbles out of his pocket and rolls away, coming to a stop in the middle of the fire ridden and damaged road.
Hiding across the street, within an alleyway, Blukic and Driba spot the Skeuomorph rolling to a stop. "The Skeuomorph!"
They pilot the PROXY to bend down and crawl its way towards the Skeuomorph, both of them praying that they aren't spotted by the Earthlings.
Cinder carries on with the attack as the police back him up, firing away uselessly with their guns.
Cinder unleashes a veil of flames from below, the flames assault the robot's eye forcing it away. As it turns it swipes at the hero, Cinder dives away but the robot swats at his leg and throws him off, launching him to the side.
"Cinder!" Officer Toyomitsu, having seen Cinder tossed aside, rushes towards the flying hero. He expands his belly out and catches the hero in his Fat Absorption.
Cinder groans as Officer Toyomitsu sets him down. "Nice catch."
"You're welcome."
Officer Tezuka rushes to their side. "Everyone okay?"
Cinder nods, holding his head. "I think so."
Meanwhile, a crawling PROXY manages to snatch up the Skeuomorph off the ground.
"Look, we got the Skeuomorph, Driba!"
"I know!" responds Driba. "We did it!"
The holographic PROXY scans for Cinder but its smile vanishes as it watches the B.L.R.R.T. prepare for another attack.
Both Blukic and Driba call out as the robot swings its arm back. "LOOK OUT!"
Cinder and the two officers jolt up in time to spot the robot winding up its arm.
Knowing they can't escape in time, Officer Toyomitsu grabs Tezuka and Cinder and tucks them in, turning his back towards the bot and shielding them with his body.
The B.L.R.R.T.'s long arm scrapes against the road as it swings in full force towards the trio.
But then a raging inferno stonewalls the robot's attack, flinging its arm back. The flames expand, becoming a raging Hellfire forcing the B.L.R.R.T. stumbling back from sheer force before crashing into a nearby building.
The officers' and Cinder's jaws drop in awe of the brilliant flames.
"How is it you get yourself into these messes?"
Cinder spins around, a sense of relief and dread bubbling up inside of him.
From atop a nearby building, The Flame Hero, Endeavor, playfully smirks down at Cinder.
Endeavor launches himself off the roof, and lands just before the trio. "How come I always gotta be the one to save you?"
Cinder shakes his finger. "Hey, the last time didn't count. I let you save me that time."
"Haha!" Endeavor genuinely laughs. "Smartass."
"Oh, what is this?" Benevelon peers down, frowning as flames consume his masterpiece. "Oh, tsk, tsk, tsk. It appears these Earthlings don't know what's good for them. Oh, B.L.R.R.T.!" He calls. "Please be a dear and show them otherwise."
The B.L.R.R.T.'s single eye glows brightly before it swings its arms out and pries itself free of the flames and building.
Endeavor glares up at the bot just as the police and other heroes come in and fire away. "Up again already?"
Officer Toyomitsu sweats nervously, watching as the robot easily bats away a couple of air borne heroes. "Just what is the thing made of?!"
"Doesn't matter." Endeavor's flames rise across his body and fists. "It'll be a hunk of molten metal when I'm through with it."
Endeavor's path, putting a hand up to stop him. "Hold it Enj-Endeavor." He corrects. "We have no idea what this thing is capable of."
Endeavor looks like he wants to argue but he knows his friend is far better at seeing the bigger picture than he. "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Cinder pauses, considering what to do. He eyes the chaos and comes to realize that he can't do this alone, there's too much going on and he can't focus on one thing or the other. He can't stop B.L.R.R.T. and stop Benevelon all at the same time. He needs to stop Benevelon in order to stop the B.L.R.R.T. Or at least he needs to find that darn Skeuomorph again somehow.
He considers his options and comes to one.
It's a risky move but if he can at least get Enji's help in finding Benevelon then they might just be able to beat the robot. He'll deal with the cover up later and if need be he can get Enji in on the secret if he has to.
"This thing couldn't have gotten here on its own," says Cinder. "There's gotta be a puppet master who's watching all this from nearby."
Endeavor frowns, eyeing the vast skyline. "But where?"
"I…I don't know."
Officer Tezuka frowns, considering what to do next. "You two go and search for them." The two heroes pause and gawk at her..
She presses on, reloading her gun. "In the meantime, we'll" She gestures to herself, her fellow officers, and the other heroes. "will keep this thing occupied."
Cinder smiles in appreciation. "Thanks, Officer." Cinder then turns to begin the search, turning to his longtime friend. "Try to keep up will ya?"
Endeavor scoffs. "Please, you were always the one chasing me."
And with that the two take off with Endeavor rockets up in the air and Cinder taking off on the ground to begin their search.
In the meantime, the police and heroes turn their attention back on the rampaging robot.
But they are far from the only ones having a difficult time.
"What do we do with it now, Driba?!" Blukic screams from inside the PROXY.
"Isn't it obvious?" asks Driba. "We gotta get the Skeuomorph to Mr. Cinder."
"But Driba, Mr. Cinder's not here."
Driba pales. "What?"
"Look!"
The PROXY turns, peering through the smoke and flames, watching on as Cinder disappears from sight, running off to who knows where.
"No!" Driba screams. "There's no way we can safely deliver the Skeuomorph to him now!"
Blukic frowns, considering what to do. "But we can deliver it!"
Driba scowls in annoyance. "Weren't you listening? I told you that it was impossible."
"No, it's not. Driba look!" Blukic points out to the battle where the heroes and police are holding the bot's attention. "The B.L.R.R.T.'s distracted!"
"So?"
Blukic smiles back eagerly. "So, what if we delivered the Skeuomorph ourselves and put a stop to the B.L.R.R.T. once and for all."
Driba shakes his head but after a moment to consider he soon changes his tune. "Blukic you're a genius! If we stop the B.L.R.R.T. then Luhley will have to forgive us for taking her ship!"
Blukic breaks into a wide grin. "Exactly!"
This is their chance for sure. After they had clumsily activated and took Luhley's ship, they have no doubt that she's angry with them. Oh, and there's Plumber Command too, no doubt they'll have much to say to them. But if they were to complete this mission all on their own then they'll have to be forgiven!
Driba buys the delusion more and more. "Come on Blukic, we have a planet to save!"
"Oh, boy!" Blukic cheers. "We're gonna be heroes!"
And so they clumsily get the PROXY onto its feet and take off in a shaky run towards the rampaging B.L.R.R.T.
Endeavor levitates down onto the ground, burning the street as he lands. "Anything?"
Cinder slides to a stop after sprinting around searching for a good while. "Nada. This city's too big, they could literally be anywhere."
There's too many hiding places and spots this Benevelon guy could be watching from and they've only searched half the block so far. But even so they have to keep searching before it's too late.
Meanwhile, somehow the PROXY managed to weave its way through the smoke and rubble and to the foot of the B.L.R.R.T. There the PROXY squats down and jumps up and onto the back of the B.L.R.R.T., using its magnetic pulse in its hands to cling on.
The B.L.R.R.T. is unaware of the hitchhikers and instead resumes to bat away at the heroes with its massive arms and powerful beam.
The PROXY fiddles with the Skeuomorph as the bot continues to rampage and thrash about.
Driba clings to the control for dear life. "Quick turn it on!"
Blukic blinks back, confused. "How?!"
"What do you mean how?!"
"I mean, I don't know how to turn it on!"
"What do you mean you don't know how to turn it on?! You said you knew!"
"No, I didn't!"
"Yes, you did."
"No, I didn't!"
"Yes, you did!"
As the Galvans bicker, the B.L.R.R.T. swings around swatting away incoming heroes and in doing so washes away the pillars of smoke that were shrouding it leaving the bot and the PROXY completely exposed.
The police hold their fire as do the heroes, watching as the PROXY clings to the bot's back and shoulder.
Endeavor, noticing the cease fire, looks and instantly spots the stranger clinging to the rampaging bot. "There!" He rockets away toward the two robots.
Cinder jolts, spinning around and paling when he spots the disguised PROXY. "Oh, no." He rushes after Endeavor, praying that it's not too late.
Meanwhile, the two Galvans continue to argue and bicker, completely unaware that they've been exposed.
"I'm telling you that you did and that's final!" screams Driba.
"And for the last time, I'm telling you that I didn't!" Blukic shouts back.
"Hold it right there!"
From inside the disguised PROXY bot the two Galvans peer up to find a flaming human hovering high above them.
Driba gasps. "Oh, no!"
"We've been spotted!" shouts Blukic's voice from inside the PROXY.
Endeavor's eyes widen in surprise, taking note of the stranger's use of the word "we." "So this is your monstrosity then?"
The two Galvans pale, shrinking back in fear. "Uhhhh…"
"Raaagg!" Not waiting for an answer the young flaming hero roars out, his flames dancing around his body like a star. "Take this villain!"
"Waaaaahhh!" Blukic and Driba scream in terror, clinging to each other for dear life!
However, upon hearing the screams and seeing the blinding flames, the B.L.R.R.T. reels back and lunges at the hero. Swinging its arm up and dead into him, launching him back like a racket to a tennis ball.
"Waahh!" Endeavor roars as he's launched through the air and through the glass of an office building where he crashes through several rows of desks and cubicles.
Cinder slides to a stop and shouts out for his friend. "Enji!"
After being stunned at the sight of Endeavor being swatted away, Officer Tezuka snarls and redirects her anger towards the supposed mastermind and his creation. "He must be controlling the robot! Stop him!"
The police open fire upon the B.L.R.R.T. and the PROXY with the two Galvans screaming inside.
Fearing for the Galvans' lives, Cinder cries out and unleashes a veil of flames. "No!" The flames intercept the rain of bullets, catching them in a net of raging heat, melting them away as they whiz through.
Officer Tezuka's taken back. "What are you doing?!" She screams in outrage.
Cinder stares back, out of breath and nervous, unsure of what to say. But then a roar from the B.L.R.R.T. cuts him off and he leaps out of the way. "Look out!"
The B.L.R.R.T.'s massive arm smashes into the street, nearly flattening the Plumber if it had struck. The B.L.R.R.T. then fires up a beam, aiming towards the Officer.
"Tezuka!" Cinder screams as he grabs her and shoves her out of the way, allowing the beam to burn pass.
The B.L.R.R.T. roars out swinging and firing away almost at random, thrashing about as the heroes and police attack it from all sides.
"Wwoooaahh!"" The Galvans yelp as the PROXY loses its hold as is thrown off the B.L.R.R.T.'s back!
After having been saved, Officer Tezuka continues to press the hero for answers. "Cinder, what was that?!" But there is no response. "Cinder?" She scans the street, worried that he might have gotten hurt, but instead she spots Cinder running away! "Cinder!"
Cinder ignores her, knowing he'll regret it, as he slides to a stop beside the downed PROXY. "You idiots! What are you doing?!"
The PROXY shifts and bends inhumanly before rising to its feet.
Blukic answers the Plumber. "We're trying to help."
The B.L.R.R.T. roars out and fires away at the police. But then Endeavor shoots back onto the scene and delivers a fiery punch into the bot's skull. Although it doesn't break it does throw the bot off balance. The B.L.R.R.T. retaliates firing its beam after the flame hero.
Cinder shields the Galvans with his body and shouts. "You two gotta get out of here!"
"My, my, this is no good." Benevelon tsks, shaking his head in sad disappointment. "Such poor naive Earthlings, why do you deny everlasting peace? Hm?"
He scans the battlefield until he spots an Earthling dawning a Plumber uniform beside another strangely moving and jointed Earthling.
"Hm?" Curious Benevelon pulls out a small monocle-like device and holds it over his eye. Through its lens he switches from thermal vision, to a mode allowing him to see through holograms.
And thus, he spots the PROXY bot in full without its disguise. "A PROXY bot?" Even more curious he switches the monocle to X-Ray vision, and thus he can finally see the two Galvans squashed into the droid.
Benevelon somehow snarls and chuckles at the sight. "Ah, of course my old nemesis would try to interfere and of course he couldn't be bothered to do it himself." He feigns being offended. "For someone who claims to be the smartest being in the galaxy he can't seem to comprehend my mission. Oh, why can't anyone see my own genius? Oh, well."
Seeing no point in sticking around for now, especially with a Plumber and Galvans on the scene, Benevelon snaps his fingers and his static-white portal reemerges. "Let us go B.L.R.R.T. We shall regroup for now!"
The B.L.R.R.T. halts its rampage and roars out, reeling back as a bright blinding light surrounds its being. The portal surrounds it like a dome and energy like lightning discharges around it.
Officer Toyomitsu gasps, having worked on the bomb squad for a time, he panics and cries otu in warning. "It's gonna blow!"
The heroes and police run for cover as the portal continues to expand and pulse around the bot. The portal flashes and everyone braces for the explosion. But it never comes. Instead, the B.L.R.R.T. has completely vanished from sight along with a chunk of the road and nearby buildings.
Cinder, having taken cover along with the Galvans behind a dumpster, peeks out. "What happened?"
The PROXY peers out. "It portaled away."
Cinder scowls, both annoyed but relieved to have the bot gone for now. He turns to the Galvans, grabbing their bot by the arm. "We better portal away ourselves, and fast."
The PROXY jolts, the Galvans cowering from inside. "Um, Mr. Cinder, sir."
"What?"
"B-behind you."
Cinder jolts, his dread rising, turning to face the suspicious and accusing glares of the police and heroes.
Officer Tezuka and Endeavor stand at the front, both eyeing the droid and Plumber with silent accusations and…betrayal.
########(End Flashback)#######
Stream rises like smoke from inside the sewer grate, rising to the clotheslines and fire escapes above. Water pools into puddles across the dark and filthy alleyway, the corners littered with garbage and dumpsters as a feral cat prowls about for a meal.
From underneath the sewer grate a purplish sludge pokes out and an inhuman eyeball peers around, making sure that the coast is clear before shrinking back inside.
The sewer grate rattles and shakes, startling the cat which runs off in fear.
Lucy and Izuku, with a red glowing Omnitrix, crawl out from the sewer grate.
As the two crawl out, Izuku kicks the grate back into place. The two lean against the opposite wall and fall, taking a moment to rest and catch their breaths.
After a moment of breath, Izuku looks to Lucy the senior, the senpai, of the situation for direction. "What now?"
It takes her less than a second to respond. "We keep to the same plan as before." Her expression is calm and serious. "We finish the mission."
Izuku chokes, worried. "What about my dad?"
Lucy smiles sympathetically, understanding his worry. "He'll do the same. He knows what's at stake." The world in fact but hey no pressure. "I'm sure he will join up with us when he can."
"R-right…" Assuming that he'll escape Ragnarok that is…but then again, his Dad's an elite Plumber. A veteran. He's survived all sorts of near-death experiences and maniacal villains before. This Ragnarok guy can't be that much different.
Realizing that the situation is not as lost to them as he first thought, Izuku pulls himself to his feet, ready to move out. "We better move quickly then."
"No kidding." Lucy rises to her feet. "So, which way now?"
Izuku opens his mouth to answer but he pauses realizing that he doesn't actually know how to get to the Adachi-district. "Um, one sec."
He rips out his phone and google maps for directions. But as he unlocks his phone Izuku finds a number of alerts from his social media and news accounts. All of which are reporting on the newest and most recent Tokyo villain attack. "Oh, no."
"What?"
Izuku hisses, worriedly. "Well, as it turns out, Ragnarok might not be the only one trying to track us down."
Lucy frowns unsure of what he could possibly mean.
"I've got a bad feeling about this." Shoto grumbles to himself as he and his father approach the scene: eyeing the crushed cars, stranded bus, and burn marks scorching the road.
Police have already quartered off the entire block and are conducting interviews, pour over surveillance cameras, and forensics are already pouring over the scene.
Endeavor spots Inspector Tezuka within the mess, directing everyone to their roles and positions; having just sent down another search team into the subway. "Has there been any word from the search teams?"
Inspector Tezuka shakes her head. "Not yet. The teams are still on patrol for the villain and the hero that pursued them."
"Hero?" Endeavor frowns, curious. "What hero?"
"That's…been unclear as of now."
Shoto joins Tokoyami who's been listening silently from the sidelines. "This Ragnarok guy sure does make a mess of things."
"Indeed." responds Tokoyami. "But I'm afraid that something else doesn't bode well for us?"
"Huh, you feel it too then?" But what is it, this sense of foreboding? Almost…like they are both something…or someone is in trouble.
"Hey, you guys!" shouts Fatgum.
Everyone turns in time to see Fatgum rushing towards them with a tablet in hand.
"What is it, Toyomitsu?" asks Inspector Tezuka.
"You're all gonna wanna see this." He holds up the tablet for them all to see. "We were able to get some footage off some bystanders that happened to record the attack." He turns on the tablet. "Look."
They all watch as a shaky and out of focus video plays on the screen. But it becomes clear what they're seeing, watching Cinder take on Ragnarok once again amongst the populated street.
"Midoriya." Endeavor growls accusingly. "What is he doing?"
Fatgum responds. "According to witnesses he confronted the villain. And from what it sounds like the two knew each other but that could have been because of the earlier attack."
"Or not." Inspector Tezuka spits. "I'll put out a city-wide APB. We need to find this guy and Midoriya."
Shoto jolts in place, startled by the news. "Wait, why search for Mr. Midoriya? I mean he fought with the villain, how does that make him a suspect?"
Inspector Tezuka frowns, her eyes flaring with anger and frustration. "Because if he was really against the villain then how come he hasn't contacted us about it?"
Shoto has no response. The only things coming to mind are that Mr. Midoriya is either dead, kidnapped… or in cahoots with the villain somehow.
Inspector Tezuka continues. "There's something else going on here. And I'm gonna find out what it is." She turns to address her officers. "We won't let either of them slip away. I want them found, yesterday people!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Her officers salute before rushing off to assist where they're needed.
Fatgum frowns before he remembers one final detail. "Oh, one more thing."
The Inspector, Endeavor, and their sons pause to listen.
"There were apparently two others involved in the attack." He slides his fingers over the screen, zooming in on the fuzzy back images of a teenage girl with blonde hair running while a large yellow pill bug chases after her.
The Inspector frowns at the blurry images. "Who are they?"
"Not sure." Fatgum shrugs. "But witnesses say that the villain targeted them both and chased them into the subway."
"Locate them as well." orders Inspector Tezuka. "We're not taking any chances, if they're part of this somehow then I want them brought in for questioning!"
Shoto and Tokoyami can't help but feel a sense of foreboding hanging over their heads like an approaching dark storm. They stare at the image of the pill bug, eyeing it worriedly, examine it carefully before they notice the faint blurry glow of the Omnitrix on the creature's form.
The two lean back, mildly surprised but thoroughly concerned, both wondering the same thing. 'Midoriya what exactly did you get yourself into this time?'
To be continued…
And that was Part 2. I know it was a lot shorter than normal but hey you guys gotta faster update out of it. So, it's all good. Speaking of updates, I hope to have Part III ready in 2 weeks. But I can't confirm that as of yet. I will probably have a better idea next week which you can find out in my new side story called "Heroes Never Die; It's Hero Time, Anytime."
*Speaking of which, if you read the most recent "Omake: Omni-anon" from the side story then you know that I implied that a new alien was gonna be in this chapter. And it was Cannonbolt! Which, I think maybe about 5 people guessed correctly. Everyone kept guessing Humongousaur or Way Big. Guys…if I was hinting at either of them, I would have said "ginormous," or "giant," or "HUGE." Also, in the most recent "Preview" from Ch.53 I actually gave you guys a little hint that Cannonbolt was gonna "roll" his way into the story. But in all fairness that chapter was over a month ago, so you could've forgotten.
*I forgot to mention this last time, I thought I did but I forgot. But Inspector Tezuka is straight out of the Ducktales reboot.
*PLEASE* check out my new side story for this story called "Heroes Never Die; It's Hero Time, Anytime." You will find an assortment of one shots that take place in the canon of this main story. I update this side story weekly along with posts about how the next main chapter's progress is going and when it will come out. Most of the one shots are really short little stories but there are full chapters there such as "OVA: My Zombie Academia." Which is a great change from the norm and is again canon to the main story.
Responses for "Guest" reviewers from Ch.54:
Guest: People reacting to Izuku...
Ship.
(Izuku being ship with girls) :
"Uuuggh why you ship this girls with Deku" "This ship doesnt make any sense" "Huh people ship Izuku with anyone huh" Why someone ship this"
(Izuku being ship with boys) :
"Omg I loving it" "This is so cute" "Yes Deku is gay" "I want this to be canon" "Horikoshi you better make it happen or I will kill u"
Fanfic/Story
(Story about Izuku dating a girl, having a harem, being treated like a prince, being the best student in class 1a):
"Man this story boring" "Tsk typical" Who wrote this" "This plot is a joke" "Ugh Deku having a harem what a joke"
(Story about Izuku being gay, raped, enslaved, tortured, cheated and bullied) :
"Holy shit this fic is awesome" "I like this fic" "Please continue" "This fic is my favourite now" "Hah take that deku"
Youtube video
(Video about Izuku character analysis, how strong Izuku is, why Izuku is a great character):
"Booooriiiing" "All of this is wrong" "Deku suck" "You're wrong"
(Video about how bad is Izuku, being gay, being beaten in the anime):
"Hell yeah" "Damm this is good" "Adorable" "Hahahaha"
Rule 34 art
(Artwork where Izuku making love with one girls or multiple girls):
"This is ridiculous" "Who draw this" "Bullshit" "Yeah right as if he can do that"
(Artwork where he got raped by boys or dickgirl, seeing Ochako cheated on him, being transform into girls):
"This is hot" "Damm this is sexy" "Im turned on right now" "Pound him harder"
Why ? Just why? What makes this pure heart boy get this such attention...
CreateGunner1209: "Different strokes for different folks" - Fatgum
Atom king: This is awesome with Ragnarok and Lucy appearing now we get into more detail of Hisashi early days as a plumber and risks of keeping the knowledge of aliens a secret as he's not well love in Tokyo, I love the DuckTales reference in this chapter with the reveal of Tokoyami mom inspector Tezuka along with shoto and endeavor showing up plus fatgum who also hate Hisashi I get the feeling that the Midoriya family as a whole is not welcome to Tokyo. I wonder who else hates Midoriyas ?
Other in flashback we see the first appearance of Blukic and Driba I wonder if they are still on earth ?
I can't wait for the next part of this arc.
CreateGunner1209: Thanks, I thought it'd be a good way to combine their story elements. And it's working out, I think. Plus I can do the same thing for Hisashi's own backstory, too! Now there's still Part 3 that has to play out and it'll wrap things up and answer lingering questions.
Guest: If Izuocha happens in the manga/anime will it happen in the fic?
CreateGunner1209: Maybe
DeadCool14: Omg yes! The Omakes are so hilarious XD
Would Rath be immune Road Rage's Quirk or it somehow make him angrier?
Yep, you were right, I checked, Endeavor and All Might have a three year difference so when Endeavor and Hisashi were first years All Might was a third year
The answer will definitely be "imagine it whoever you want" but what the hell. When Ghostfreak appears will he have the chains or will he get them when he gets back into the Omnitrix?
When Deku gets Humungousaur can you have him say the "I'd mock anybody who uses the word mock" line from the Alien Force pilot, I really love that line
How about these for openings: "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Ending 17 Full Who are you?" The lyrics really work for it.
And: JUJUTSU KAISEN - Ending Lost in Paradise feat. AKLO
You could replace Yuji with Deku and his aliens, Shinso with Fuyumi, Ochako and/or Mina with Nobara and Hisashi with Gojo
Oh my God that Halloween OVA was amazing! I honestly thought this was gonna be a Dekuzarro origin that took place between chapters. Those references were hilarious though I think it was missing a lot of Zombieland, like maybe Deku makes up all the rules and maybe have Bullfrag say "Time to nut up or shut up". Did not expect Rattle to show up but I'm glad he did, really hope he actually shows up later on, and if so could you give him the power to temporarily turn others into zombies and that his species are called Ormerowon? And I can't wait to see who that other OC alien is
And speaking of Anur aliens, could Blitzwolfer's special move be the Super Bark from Bolt?
Oh my God, yes! Hisashi backstory! I can't wait to see where this goes. Also Lucy! Finally! Tho I kinda hoped she and Deku would be cousins
Could you add some JoJo references?
CreateGunner1209: I'm glad you liked the Omakes.
Rath would be effected by Road Rage's Road Rage. Because Rath is angry but he's a…funny/comical type of angry, not raging monster angry.
Actually, about Ghostfreak…for once I won't give you that answer ;) Why? Well, if you read the latest Omake "Omni-anon" then you have a not-so little hint of what I wanna do with the specter ;)
Haha, I like that Humongasour line. I'll ry my bets to fit it for sure, please remind me when he arrives
Also yeah I know! The OVA: My Zombie Academia was great, wasn't it. I really enjoyed writing it up especially since I decided to lean in on the violence and horror side of things. Also damnit, I should have rewatched Zombieland for more inspiration. But in all fairness I was trying to lean more towards horror rather than comedy. Also I know about the turn into zombies thing and I thought about it. But he's already fighting mutant zombies as it is so I didn't think it was needed
Blitzwolfer's special move…maybe. Remind me when he gets here
And I'll try to add some JoJo references if and when I can
Dreadbot: I really like this chapter I liked all the Easter eggs and references you had in it I loved how you included inspector tezuka from DuckTales I can't wait to see what you do next please keep writing
CreateGunner1209: Thanks, I hope you enjoyed the references in Part II as well. And yeah, I had the idea of putting Inspector Tezuka in this chapter since the day her episode aired. That's not a joke me and my "editors" came up with the idea like right after the episode was over
Shark: Dang, I feel bad for Hisashi. Everyone's treating him like trash and Endeavor of all people has no right to look down on him.
CreateGunner1209: Yeah he's got some rotten luck but people will often assume and judge others too quickly
Doc: It's ok if you haven't read the comics but they are a good slice of life comic for the most part. Will hatsume ever find out about aliens and bees true origin?
CreateGunner1209: I am considering adding Hatsume to the mix, but I am still on the fence at the moment. But I am leaning towards next
Guest: Y si asemos que izuku se transforme en almodrilo cuando se enfrenta a muscular su poder de crear terremotos sería genial contra la copia. Barata de Venom
CreateGunner1209: Perhaps, I have a lot of ideas on how the attack on the Training Camp will go down.
Guest: At this point I would say go the harem route
Izuku-Ochako, Tsuyu, Mina, Lucy, Ester
CreateGunner1209: Maybe
Guest: Man why do I want Inko to come in like a protective wife and give them all the business
Poor Hisashi he really does try his best
CreateGunner1209: He does, he really does, but he was never after credit
Guest: Why do I want the whole Midoriya family to come under scrutiny so bad
That would be a fun plot point
Especially with that foreshadowing
One wrong thing and all the good u did before doesn't matter
CreateGunner1209: Perhaps but it's kinda happening here already. But it's not a bad idea
Guest: Fatgum nnnoooooooooo
CreateGunner1209: Yeah, he doesn't like Hisashi either. But no matter what I still love Fatgum. Hence why I threw him into the story early
Guest: Seeing all this stuff with Hisashi makes me wonder how Inko handled it when he was first accused
CreateGunner1209: Maybe that should be an Omake in my side story, "Heroes Never Die; It's Hero Time, Anytime."
Guest: Oh plz let Lucy transfer into UA if not as a first year than definitely 3rd year with Mirio
Actually with their abilities I am curious to know who would win between the 2
Plus it would be an interesting plot point if it's discovered she is connected to Hisashi while he's under investigation
CreateGunner1209: I don't know if I will have her transfer YET. But I am very open to having her return and stick around later on
Guest: Question. I know you mentioned that because this is fanfiction so you can retcon OFA killing the user, but why don't actually keep that part of the quirk for this story.
Hear me out, how about OFA begins to wear on Ochaco in the future and make her weaker. It'd be a dramatic struggle and new arc as everyone tries to find a new way to save Uraraka. In addition this would be some character development for All Might as he realizes that him naming Uraraka his successor nearly sent her to an early death. And that could begin affecting his mentality as a teacher even more after what he did to Izuku.
This also be a way to depower or actually nerf Uraraka for your story. OFA started off strong and made her zero gravity quirk stronger, but the struggle of nearly dying from OFA has severely weakened her powers. I'm not saying to make her incredibly weak for the entire story, but this event would make her backtrack and have to work extra harder to get back to her original strength. This will make her start to get back into the proper terms of wavelength with Izuku on the power scaling.
CreateGunner1209: Okay so I did say that I COULD retcon the OFA. BUT I always said right after that I wouldn't. Meaning that I have a way to address it in story. And also I know all about the whole Uraraka is too OP thing, I've been told too many times to count at this point. On that point I do plan on correcting it. It was oversight on my part, I sort-a made her good with OFA so I could focus more on Izuku and spend less time on her. I was taking a short cut essentially. If that makes sense.
Atomic11: One name... Tooru Hagakure. If you read the manga latest chapter than you know what I'm talking about here. So what do you think about it and will this revelation affect the story?
CreateGunner1209: I did and you fell for the obvious twist. I didn't really take it seriously when he drew Hagakure and I was right. Also the traitor plotline was totally forgotten about for a time and since it didn't really build up I decided not to include in my story from the get go. Hence why it was Henzu who stole the date from UA before the USJ. And I've already set up how the villains will find the Camp to (Vilgax can track the Omnitrix).
Guest: Man this Road trip arc reminds me of the Berserk boat arc lol. At least yours hasn't been 8 1/2 years... so far
CreateGunner1209: I do try. I don't think there will be a hiatus for that long.
Paradox: Another interesting chapter, I am looking forward to seeing how this plays out. I really like how we learn more about Hiashi as Izuku does, it means it doesn't feel like everyone is talking about things they already know. Also how many of class 1-A had 'run into Izuku' on their break bingo card and how many more are going to get it ticked off? If I can make a guess, since this is a multiparter I am guessing Izuku is going to get a new form. I will await the next chapter with baited breath because I am loving what you do with this story.
CreateGunner1209: And you were right, Izuku got a new form. Which was hinted to in a previous Preview and in the "Omake: Omni-anon" from my new side story
Guest: Really love this chapter. This further shows the downside of having a secretive job like the Plumbers. It adds more character to Hisashi. Nice seeing early cameos of Ben 10 characters. I want to see how it will affect Midoriya's job and how it taxes him. Will it be like like Itachi and his role as double agent?
CreateGunner1209: That's why I've been looking forward to this 3 parter. So I can explore more of Hisashi's character and past.
Guest: Please release the next chapter at December 8th because it's when halo infinite come out and maybe halo reference next chapter
CreateGunner1209: I wish you said something a week earlier so I could add more, because the chapter was all done by the time you said something. But hey I got Master Chief in there.
Guest: You know you should add blue beetle in this story but let's say Melissa have it because it's alien tech
CreateGunner1209: To be honest, if I do a story that takes place in the later years. I would like to do Blue Beetle or Generator Rex. But for now I wouldn't get your hopes up since that's like years off and I might want to move on by then
Guest: Bruh the Midoriya's can't catch a break
And I know Endeavor gets better but F$&K him he can't say Sh T after what he put his family through
I seriously hope you have Izuku go off on them at the end of this after they save the day
Though I do love to relation to reality
Know one remembers all the good you do but the moment you mess up once everyone's on you and your just the worst kinda person
All that said when the world turns on Izuku I really can't wait to see the looks on their face when they realize he's their only hope
Assuming you do that
CreateGunner1209: Thanks for the wonderful review, you definitely get what I was trying to do with this chapter.
Guest: Hmmm judging by the omake. The new guy is gonna be Humungousaur!
CreateGunner1209: Nope, if you remember the Preview from Ch.53 I gave a hint that Cannonbolt would be "rolling" his way into the story
Boss kaiju: An intersting chapter who raise some question about Hisashi past career.
I really appreciate the Sublimino cameo and I can't wait for the next part.
As always I have a few question:
1- Are you planning to use Helene, Manny and Pierce, I think they can give good moment (like Bakougo and Manny arguing) ?
2- Are we gonna see Paradox in the main story line ?
3- Will Izuku visite the planet of some of his aliens?
As always keep doing your work because we are always gonna support you.
CreateGunner1209: 1. I would like to use Helene, Manny, and Pierce. I keep juggling between several ideas on how but I know for a fact I want them.
2. Please read the "Special Announcements" chapter, everything is explained there.
3. I mostly want to keep the story on Earth. BUT I at least have one arc in mind where he'll have to travel around in space
Loveless: Now you really get me to love this story even more. I have a few really important questions for you for the future of this story.
Can you give a hint about what exposes aliens to the rest of the world.
How would the heroes react to aliens being real
How would inko react that her husband is a space cop
How would their classmates react to aliens being real
Will class a-1 and b-1 be given an opportunity to become space cadets along with being given the true of certain events like izuku getting buzzshock.
What will nue redemption be like
CreateGunner1209: I am so glad you love this story so much. It really means a lot to me. But it doesn't mean I am so willing to spoil literally everything about my story. Sorry but that's a no, no. I rather reveal character interactions and reactions within the story itself rather than say it outright. Often because my answers change and if they don't then what's the point of sticking around if you know already? So no, I cannot answer any of your questions. Sorry but I am really against giving away spoilers especially since this is a response to a Guest review, where everyone can see the Spoilers. I hope you understand, and I'm sorry once again (bows head in apology)
Guest: You can tell midoriya is a little better at using the Omnitrix then the Ben and Gwen in the omniverse
CreateGunner1209: Thanks, but then again, I'm sure others would argue against it
Guest: Since your not going to give him master control or ultimate aliens can he at least tap the watch to change back in Fourth
CreateGunner1209: I never said he wouldn't get Master Control. I said that the feature is an End Game sort of function. Also I am sort-of reconsidering ht eUltimate Aliens, but no promises. As for tapping back and forth between aliens. It will happen, but I want to wait before Izuku learns this.
Guest: When is he going to get some heavy hitters aliens
CreateGunner1209: Like who? Cannonbolt? He's here now. Or do mean Alien X? Because he's an endgame alien for sure. But I will say this all the canon aliens will be in the story eventually. Some will take longer than others but trust me it will be worth it.
