Master Control
Chapter 18
Kurogiri had managed to get those accursed horns off himself, along with that troublesome student. He managed to escape him by sending them both into the waters of the flood zone. The new environment and lack of air got the boy to let go of Kurogiri. One he was free, the villain teleported himself back to Shigaraki's side. He saw EraserHead battling against the many thugs they managed to hire for this task.
"Why are you back?" Tomura asked, but it was always in demands.
"The children were more troublesome than I anticipated. One of them escaped."
"Do you think he'll get All Might to show up?"
"There's a chance, but it's unlikely."
"Ah well, that sucks." Tomura halfheartedly replied, then narrowed his red eyes on the hero in front of them.
"I really, really wanted to use our op party member."
"You still can." Kurogiri offered. "I doubt anyone could resist the nomu."
"Hmmm, you know what. You're right." Tomura pointed his lanky finger towards the eraser hero. A large figure watching where its master was pointing. It had large muscles, every twitch breaking its purple skin and healing back over. It had an exposed brain, jagged teeth jammed into its beak, and animalistic eyes. "Nomu, break him."
It moved faster than anyone other than the best could react to. Too bad for the hero, he wasn't the best.
*CRACK*
The nomu had gripped into the hero's spine, clutching it like a pencil in its hand. For a few seconds, Eraserhead's body didn't process the pain, but when it did.
"AAAAHHHH!" He screamed, earning a chuckle from Tomura.
"Ok, now nomu, take his leg-"
"DIE!"
*BOOM*
Bakugo had flown over, throwing an explosion at the nomu's face. It let go of the teacher, his back started to leak several fluids. The boy didn't stop, circling the nomu with explosion after explosion to burn away it's flesh.
"Does a level one really think he can beat the boss?" Tomorua asked, scratching his neck. Already he was bored of the new npc. "Nomu, kill him already."
With one swipe of its hand, the air cleared around the nomu. The burnt skin already healing. It drew back a clenched fist, ready to turn the boy into vapor.
*Shlk*
A red crystal burst from the ground, stabbing into the nomu's shoulder.
"Switch me!" Eijiro shouted, sprinting past Bakugo and facing the nomu head on.
"Oi! I ain't taking orders from you!"
"You want to be a hero?! Save our teacher!"
Bakugo clicked his tongue, looking over the wounded man. "Shit this is bad."
Tomura scratched his neck even more, so tired of more worthless characters showing up. "Nomu, stop waiting around and kill."
It obeyed, throwing its opposite fist into the crystal spear and cracking it off. Eijiro wasn't going to give it time, more and more red rock emerged from the ground and stabbed into the nomu. It got faster, punched stronger, breaking the crystals and pulling them out of its body for it to heal.
This was getting nowhere, the two of them were just distracting each other. Fine, if you want someone dead do it yourself. Tomura charged at Eijiro, the boy not noticing the man coming right to him. Instead he was coating himself in that ruby red substance, shoving more of it into the nomu.
Tomura threw his hand onto the boy's arm, all five fingers ready to disintegrate the boy…..
"Are you trying to do something?" Eijiro asked through gritted teeth, ignoring the handy man.
Tomura chuckled. "Wow, you really are cool Eraserhead." He turned around, but the man didn't have his eyes open. He was in the care of that explosive brat.
His quirk...didn't work on this kid?
Cheater.
"QUIT FOOLING AROUND SPARKLES!" Bakugo shouted.
"RAH!" Eijiro summoned a massive boulder to encompass the nomu, temporarily locking it in place. "Ugh, I think that's the most I've ever made."
Cheaterscheaterscheaters, he was going to kill them all.
Seeing that targeting the red boy was useless, Tomura focused his attention back on the nearly dead teacher. He started to run forward, only for a pink wall to show up in between him and his target.
"Finally!" Bakugo shouted seeing the three new students show up. "Icyhot, alien face, get over here and help get Sensei out of here."
"Why should-Holy shit!" Mina exclaimed, now seeing how badly their teacher was hurt. Shoto came forward, applying ice to the man to help slow the breathing.
"Cauterize his wounds dipshit!" Bakugo scolded.
"I can't use my-"
"If you don't he's going to bleed out! He dies, that's on you not me. I'm going to where the fight it." Bakugo rolled his shoulders, leaving Mina and Shoto to care for Eraserhead.
"I don't think we should engage them." Kendo warned, keeping up the barrier.
"Not like they care, brainy is going to pop out of his cage any second."
"Who's-"
*CRACK* The red crystal around the nomu was starting to crack, slowly spreading over the container.
"Crap! Guys he's coming out!" Eijiro alerted them, making crystal blades over his arms.
"Can't you just trap it again?!" Kendo asked, taking a fighting stance and letting her fists be engulfed in pink energy.
"He's been stabbing and trapping that thing constantly. Wasting all his quirk." Bakugo explained in a low tone so that the enemy didn't hear. It was true, the area was covered in plenty of broken parts of Eijiro's constructs, more than he made in the quirk apprehension test. He couldn't make too much more, or he would run out of juice.
"Nomu." Tomura demanded. "Take care of the crystal brat."
With one last flex of its muscles, the creature broke free. Screaming at them.
"Kurogiri, help me deal with these two." Tomura said, pointing at Kendo and Bakugo.
"Very well." The shadow man said, obeying his commander.
"Bring it!" Eijiro shouted, getting a fist to the face in reply.
*Crack*
"Did he finally die?" Tomura asked.
"It appears not." Kurogiri pointed at the boy, who still had a face full of nomu's fist. He had stabbed his arms into the nomu, clinging onto it like a mad man. Eijiro took a bite out of nomu's fist, making it retract out of reflex.
"It's going to take more than that to-"
*CRACK* The nomu punched him again, the boy still keeping himself attached to the beast.
"You got a plan?" Kendo asked Bakugo.
"Kill the villains, don't die."
"I don't exactly agree with that first half."
"Then you're going to fail step two."
Keepcalmkeepcalmkeepcalm. What's the first step of treating a wound? Stop the bleeding, but he couldn't see a way to stop it. There was metal sticking out of her body. Izuku started to hyperventilate as he kept trying to find some way to help Jiro. His hands hovered over her, seeking something to do to help her. He couldn't move her, she was stuck. He couldn't take out the rebar, it was apart of the rubble that he didn't have enough strength to lift.
The wind and rain kept whipping against his face, resetting his mind to come up with a way to do something useful. He wasn't though, because he was Deku.
A gurgle came from Jiro's mouth, blood bubbling out from it. Her eyes kept looking over Izuku, pleading for something but he didn't know what. Her hand lifted up, grasping his black t shirt and spreading her blood further on it.
"MIDORIII! HEEELP!" Kaminari screamed out in desperation. It wasn't just Jiro hurt, it was Yanagi.
"I'm sorry." Izuku apologized, holding Jiro's hand. "I'm so sorry, I-I don't know how to help you."
He couldn't, because he was the same quirkless boy. The same one that got beat up, the one that couldn't really help people. It was the omnitrix, it was the one to save people not him.
Izuku was, and always would be, a Deku.
'You can do it, for that is the truth behind your name.'
Why, why were those words coming to his mind now?! Why would Professor Paradox give the omnitrix to him, why did he entrust the fate of an entire universe's species to him, why give a ten year old the untold power of the watch on his wrist?
Jiro's hand was cold, it wasn't right, no one should be this cold.
'Stop thinking about yourself, and just do something!' Izuku screamed in his mind. This whole time he had been worrying about himself, about getting caught, when there were people who needed help right now!
The omnitrix flashed briefly, Jiro's hand slipping against it.
"Unstable quirk factor detected."
Izuku knew what he could do, even if it got him in trouble eventually. Any price was worth saving them.
"Jiro, I can save you, but I'm going to have to replace your quirk with something else to do it." Izuku said in as calm as a voice as he could, clutching her fingers to comfort her. Her eyes were shaky, barely able to stay on his face. Another gurgle came from her throat, making him fight to just stay looking at the gruesome scene.
"Nod if you are ok with that." He requested, because he really, really didn't want to do this without her consent. If she said no, well, he was still going to save her life.
Jiro's fingers clenched his hand, she was scared. Of course she was scared, but she nodded. Izuku kept her hand over the watch, mentally cycling through all the aliens he had researched. Number one priority, once her quirk was gone he needed to give her something that let her survive these injuries. Most plant based aliens could do that along with a few others. Second Priority, something similar to her original quirk for easier adaptability and familiar for her to use. Last priority, something that didn't alter her appearance or way of life too much.
That last part was pretty much impossible, but he had to try.
Remembering an alien that matched those requirements, Izuku hoped she would be able to use the abilities quick enough. So, giving her hand once last squeeze, he braced himself for step one.
"Omnitrix, stabilize her DNA."
*SKREEEE*
Her form was encompassed in green light, the jacks on her ears disappearing when the blinding energy calmed down. She tried to talk, one of the bloody bubbles popping in her mouth and hitting his face. Jiro was still injured, just quirkless now.
"Omnitrix, splice her DNA with Sonorosian."
One more flash of light took over Jiro, her skin turning incredibly pale with small black lines tracing up to her eyes and down her arms. Her ears rounded out, two vents on each side to allow sound to enter through the new filter. They took on the shape of earbuds, the extensions running along her head and down into the sides of her neck. The rebar was still sticking out of her, whatever was her new blood still seeping out.
"Mi-dor-i-ya." Her voice came from her throat as her body kept trying to breathe. It still sounded like her, except if someone put an autotune filter over it.
"I know you're scared." Izuku said, standing up with her hand in his. "But I need you to focus, imagine yourself standing next to me, right here, holding my hand. Once you do just..I don't know use what you feel is your quirk. I never had one but you know what it feels like!"
She was choking on her own blood, the rain hiding the confused tears spilling from her eyes.
"Please Jiro! You can do it!" Izuku pleaded, his voice piercing through the wild wind.
"I-I-I-" Her voice still came out, despite her choking. It just shows her new anatomy didn't need to breathe to speak. Jiro's body had a tiny flash of purple over her skin, trying to do what Izuku said. She did her best, trying to imagine herself, standing next to her, hand in hand.
And she was, Jiro wasn't choking, she could breathe!
"Th-ank y-ou!" Jiro hugged Midoriya, beginning to cry in relief and not caring for whatever the hell just happened.
*Cough cough*
There was a cough, below, where she was. Jiro slowly turned her head, seeing herself still in the rebar. That was her, filled with fear, confusion. Jiro felt it, but that wasn't her, but it was.
She was still dying, right in front of herself. Izuku began to tug her hand, to lead her away from what she was seeing. Jiro didn't move, locked onto the horror in front of her, the wounds in herself that she could still feel moving against her organs with each breathe.
Jiro didn't escape, she was still dying. There was simply another one of her watching it all happen and feeling every single thing.
"HELP! MIDORIYA PLEASE HELP DAMNIT!" Kaminari screamed out, his more clear than it was earlier.
"I have to go help." Izuku said, pulling his hand away from her grip. "I'll send Kaminari right to you. Ok?"
She couldn't look away, either one of her couldn't look away from the other.
Izuku turned away, he had to if he wanted to save Yanagi. "I'm sorry."
Trying not to slip over the wet loose rubble, Izuku quickly made his way down the destruction, jogging over to where Kaminari was kneeling over Yanagi. Both of them were desperately trying to keep the blood from spilling out her jugular, the puncture from the clawed villain when both of them were zapped by his quirk. Izuku stepped down, holding Kaminari's blood soaked shirt on her neck.
"Kaminari, go to Jiro." He simply said, but he probably didn't hear him.
Kaminari was frozen, staring at Yanagi's eyes as they started to lose their focus.
Izuku knew it was going to be a jackass thing to do, but two people needed help and there was only one him. He shoved Kaminari, the boy's eyes turning to him. They were bloodshot, of course they were who wasn't crying.
"Go to Jiro, she needs someone. I've got this."
Kaminari nodded numbly, moving away and walking to where Jiro was. The cold storm washing away any of the blood he had on his arms or bare torso.
Izuku took in a deep breath to focus himself. He could do this.
Something that can heal.
Something like her quirk.
Something that retained a sense of normalcy.
Moving Yanagi's head to face his own, he could feel her shaking slowly stopping. Either shock or hypothermia was setting in. Both were bad. He already knew what he needed to do, so he sent the mental commands to the omnitrix in quick succession.
Two waves enveloped Yanagi, the second longer than the first. The pale girl's skin turned more grey, black tears ripping into her skin making it look more like fabric. One of her eyes vanished, the other receding deeper into her head and stretching open the tear running along the side of her face. It was an ethereal blue with a small pupil. No white in her eye present. Izuku moved her bangs to cover the eyeless side, to make her transition more peaceful.
Ectonurite, the species that can retain their consciousness in a single cell. When he first discovered that terrifying fact he wanted to make sure he wasn't trapping on in the omnitrix. Apparently it had happened before, and the omnitrix now had over three hundred safeguards to ensure that wouldn't be the case. There were many ghostly abilities this species held that Izuku wasn't sure would carry over in a hybrid, but the one he was looking for was their telekinesis. It would be similar to her last quirk, and if she was lucky then she would have intangibility, flight, immunity to mind control, and possibly possession.
This might be arguably one of the most powerful aliens in the watch due to how many abilities they possess and their lack of living bodies. That's right, apparently they don't count as living beings.
"Midoriya." Yanagi said with a new raspy, interrupting his random train of thought. She was talking, and in her standard monotone voice as well. No hint of panic in it. Good, it worked.
"Are they ok?"
Izuku turned around, seeing Kaminari looking down with Jiro right next to him. They did not seem ok.
"They...they saw something bad."
"What is it?"
"...Jiro's death."
"But, she's right there." Yanagi pointed at the still standing, yet haunted form of Jiro.
Izuku nodded. "She is."
Getting back on his feet, Izuku tried to wipe the blood from his shirt. The rain had washed off all of it that was on his leather jacket, but his black shirt had absorbed it. It was black, so hopefully no one would notice it. Grabbing the zipper Izuku closed his green jacket, realizing he was still holding Kaminari's used to be white shirt.
"Is that my blood?" Yanagi asked.
"Yeah.."
"Huh...I'm either still in shock or whatever you did, thank you by the way, altered my sense of horror."
"You're welcome." Izuku nonchalantly said back. He might be in some kind of shock too, he stopped caring about his fear, or his sorrow, he just focused on what to do next. "Let's get back with everyone and make sure they're ok."
"Right." Yanagi agreed. She lifted her hand, curiously eyes her new skin. Pinching her fingers against one of the tears, she ran them along the outer skin. Strange.
Eijiro took another hit from that Nomu, feeling his skin crack again. If he wasn't fighting for his life he might feel some sort of excitement to test his limit. *CRACK*
It punched him straight in the torso, sending him right into the roof of the building. Ouch, that was rough. Today was not the day to find out his limits. On the plus side, he was standing his ground against something built to fight All Might! Extending some crystals from his back, he pushed himself out of the metal divot he was stuck in. Making his arms into spears, he fell right towards the nomu, stabbing them into each of its shoudlers.
"SCRAAAA!" It screamed, spitting all around as it tried to pull him out.
"No way buddy! I'm here to stay!" Eijiro kept stabbing, pushing what strength he had to shred the internal function of the beast. He had given up trying to take this thing in alive, he wasn't even sure they could take it in dead!
"Having fun?!" Kendo asked, making another barrier for Tomura to slam his fingers against. Dropping it she threw forward a pink fist charged with Once for All to try and hit the villain. He leapt back, dodging the punch. She began throwing pink balls of energy, trying to hit the villain. He was way too fast for having a decay quirk.
"QUIT YAPPING MORE FIGHTING!" Bakugo yelled, throwing himself above another portal that tried to capture him. Kurogiri was on the defensive, backing away and trying to send the teenager somewhere that wasn't within detonation range. Bakugo's reflexes were the best unfortunately, as he used his explosions to dodge each attack or blow up another, getting him closer to the portal maker.
"What do you think we're doing?!" Eijiro yelled back, his legs in the grip of the nomu as it was whipping him back and forth against the ground.
"This wasn't supposed to happen, All Might was supposed to be here!" Tomura yelled out.
"Yeah? Well you're not!" Kendo charged One for All into one of her balls of pink energy, throwing it right towards Tomura. It detonated against the ground once he dodged, making a small explosion of pink.
"DON'T STEAL MY EXPLOSIONS!" Bakugo yelled at her.
"I didn't even know I could do that!"
"Uh, guys!" Eijiro was shoved into the ground legs first, the nomu punching his face over and over as his spiky hair kept stabbing its fists. "Little help!"
"One second!" Kendo makes a circle of energy around her, throwing it outwards to try and hit the villain. He jumps over it, getting dangerously close to touching her. She puts One for All into her legs, jumping above the villain and making a platform of light to land on. Now having created her own highground, she starts throwing One for All powered balls at Tomura.
Eijiro could feel his face starting to split more and more, the cracks on his skin running deeper and deeper. It didn't matter how much this thing was destroying its own hands, killing him would be the last thing it tried to do. It felt like he was reaching the point of his durability, a chunk of his diamond hair snapping off. This was it, he was stuck taking his after hit from All Might punches.
*crack*
He saw himself as a kid, showing his quirk off to his parents.
*Crack*
Eijiro being wheeled through the hospital after more treatments.
*CRACK*
Being healed by a strange boy with a strange watch.
*CRACK*
Defending Izuku from explosions with his back, even though he had no quirk to defend himself. Did he do it? Did he keep Izuku safe.
*CRACK*
He couldn't remember.
"Eijiro!"
Izuku.
His barely functioning eyes looked over to see Izuku charging, running right to him. Ah, that's right, he remembers now. Izuku gave him that strength to defend himself, defend others. Izuku is a real manly hero. He's glad to be best friends with him.
"Is that a hero student?" Tomura asked Kurogiri, seeing the green haired boy charge right into the fight.
"I don't know, it certainly doesn't look like it."
Tomura smirked, seeing a way to finally start breaking their spirits. "Nomu, bring me that one."
Kendo, Bakugo, and the barely awake Eijiro all saw him point at Izuku. All of them suddenly filled with dread.
"YOUR FIGHTS WITH ME!" Bakugo shouted, trying to launch between the beast and the boy.
It was too fast, grabbing Izuku's arm and running back to it's master. Izuku tried to fight while being lifted by his left arm caught in the nomu's grip. He grit his teeth, clawing at its skin.
"Izuku!" Mina called from the stairs in panic, running down with Shoto right beside her.
"Listen up students." Tomura mockingly called out, reaching his hand towards Izuku. "This is what happens to brats that get in our way."
"Genetic damage detected."
Izuku's eyes widened, looking right at the nomu. The very monstrous, not human nomu. "HEAL IT!"
*SKREEEE*
Everyone shielded their eyes, a blinding green light overwhelming the area.
*flop*
In their place, was Izuku standing there holding up a man in oversized cargo shorts. A man, not a nomu, just a normal man.
"What the hell, what the FUCK!" Tomura screamed out, looking at what was his All Might killer. It was taken away from him, his chance to kill the symbol of peace, all gone.
"Tomura." Kurogiri came up beside the villain. "I believe it was that boy's watch, it acted strangely earlier when I confronted the students."
"He's got a damn ADMIN ITEM?!" Tomura glared at Izuku, his body vibrating with rage. He then eyed the watch, strapped to the boy's wrist. If the game was supposed to be fair, then he needed to delete it. He lunged forward, his hand going for the boy's wrist faster than he realized what was-
*BOOSH*
A small blast from the watch broke his hand, launching him back to the fountain and hitting it harshly.
Everyone just looked at the prone form of the leader, his body not moving to the water rushing over him.
"Uhhhh." Kurogiri looked to his master.
"Uhhhhhhh." He turned back to the nomu, that was now an unconscious man.
"Uhhhh." Back to his master, who was also not responding. "Uhhhhh…..I think I'll be leaving now."
All the others were too stunned at what just happened to say otherwise, the portal villain simply taking himself and the self proclaimed leader away. That was it, it was over.
"Izuku! Eijiro!" Mina ran up to the two boys, one holding a man and the other's head sticking out of the ground. "What the hell was all that guys?! First I see Eijiro taking all those super punches, then Izuku comes in and takes out the big guy turning him into some homeless dude, and then you just BLAST the main guy away with your watch?! I thought PQE's didn't do anything!"
Eijiro turned his head, trying to look up to Izuku. "You going to tell her or am I?"
"Wait! Aizawa Sensei is still hurt! We need to-"
"Where." Izuku demanded.
"Just up the stairs, Todoroki and I-Hold up TODOROKI! Why aren't you with Sensei?!"
"Midoriya looked like he needed help."
"Obviously not!"
As Mina started chewing out Todoroki, Izuku marched straight up the steps like a man on a mission, handing off the not nomu to Bakugo who was too shocked to say anything. When he got to the top, he saw Pony, Ochaco, and Thirteen doing their best to patch up the spine that was partially pulled out of the man's back.
"Izuku." Pony knew she should feel happy, seeing he was ok, but with the state of things she didn't know if she could be happy.
"You shouldn't see this kid, it's not...it doesn't look good." Thirteen said gravely.
"Is he awake?" Izuku asked, kneeling down to the man. He cringed at the gruesome injury, but quickly moved past it. It startled the girls, seeing him hardly flinch at the wound. His breathing shuddered, the man moving his head to the side.
".w-what..happ-"
"Everything is fine now, I'm here." Izuku simply stated, summarizing the trademark words of his favorite hero. It didn't look good for Aizawa. The ice that held onto him helped slowed down the breathing, but it wasn't just the spine that was partially crushed, it was all his lower organs. His lungs and heart were barely functioning as is.
He knew what he had to do, he was getting good at that.
"I can save you." Izuku leaned down to Aizawa's face so he could hear. "I need to erase your quirk to do it. Are you ok with that?"
"What are you saying?" Thirteen tried to probe.
"Erase his quirk?" Pony tried to ask him, but he wasn't listening to her, just him.
"Midoriya." Ochaco started. "How could-"
"Are you ok with having your quirk replaced with something else?"
"W-will...i-it...h-heal...m-me?"
"Yes."
"...w-whatever…"
Izuku would take that as a yes. He pulled up the omnitrix, scrolling through the regenerative playlist he made through his thoughts on his walk from healing Yanagi to finding Eijiro being beaten into the ground. Literally.
*gasp* He barely acknowledge Kaminari, Yanagi, and Jiro now making it to the scene. Standing by Izuku as if he held all the answers.
Something that will save him.
Something like his fighting style.
Something similar to his life.
With the selection of Thep Khufan ready, Izuku placed his left hand over his teacher. Those around them shielded their eyes as the omnitrix rewrote his DNA, first to take away the unstable components, and then splicing him him the selected alien DNA. His skin became wrappings, coiling and layering over one another. The fingers stretched out, losing their bone structure to become bandages in similar texture to his capture weapon. The tired red eyes sunk into his head, peering through a shadow made from a slit in the bandages. The wound closed up, sealing back into his body where it belonged. Finally his black wavy hair clumped together, the cells changing to be just like every other part of his body.
He really did look like a mummy now.
Thirteen stepped back, scared about what just happened in front of her. The sack of humanoid fabric pushed itself up, sitting upright to look at everyone with the glowing red eyes in his faceless head. He held up his arms, seeing how they moved and how it wasn't just a costume or special effect. This was him now, this was Shota Aizawa. Near him he could see two of his students that were noticeably different now, their biology clearly altered. Turning his back that easily twisted with the movement, his glowing orbs landed on Izuku.
"I expect a good explanation later." He demanded in a gentle matter of fact tone. His grumbly vocals now combined with the sound of wind.
Izuku chuckled. "Of course, but I don't know how much anyone would believe."
*BOOM*
"I AM…..Here?" All Might paused, seeing the strange sight in front of him.
"About time." Aizawa said standing up to his new, taller height. "I nearly died."
"Some-one, did." Jiro said, making the muscled man clench his fist.
"Who?" Aizawa demanded, ready to test his new body by strangling someone.
"Me."
Naomasa had done the questioning himself, to everyone that was present, even a good amount of the villains they had arrested. What was most concerning though, was his one on one chat with Izuku. Something clearly happened to the boy as soon as he saw him. He wasn't stuttering, or shaky. The boy was as calm as an experienced soldier, which was scary for Izuku. Izuku told the detective everything that happened in his perspective, in order. He was so blind sided by the constant truths that came with each statement that he couldn't even think of a question to come up with for him.
That watch, he called it the omnitrix. It did a scan of the villain, took away quirks, and then altered the DNA of the recipients to help heal any damage done to them. He even healed the 'genetic damage' of something that was made to kill All Might head on. It was so….otherworldly, that he had to do one on one interviews with the ones he performed this action on along with sending what DNA they could get of before and after to Chiyo for testing.
The first, Reiko Yanagi. According to her, Denki Kaminari, Izuku Midoriya, and even the villain himself, she had a puncture to her jugular and was bleeding out. She was then made quirkless by the watch, then healed with half her DNA replaced. The other half, as reported by Recovery Girl herself, was dead. Half of her was dead, but she was just fine. A basic physical proved that she was functional, and somehow healthy.
The second, their homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Several different testimonies including one from himself and another pro hero reported he had life endangering injuries, organs ruined, smushed, a goner. He was fine now, he couldn't erase quirks (they tried) but he has something else. His body was made of layers of organic fabric that could move independently and lift things. When they had cut a piece off for Chiyo to study, it grew back twenty minutes later. After several tests, it proved he had a skeletal system of some kind and basic organs. They didn't want to open him up so soon after nearly dying, but the best guess was his entire body was composed of interwoven fabric that could serve as organs, muscle, his skeleton, and wherever his brain was.
The third, Kyoka Jiro, she was a mess. When she testified to her own death, that needed looking into immediately. His quirk said it was true, but for the first time Naomasa doubted it. Then they found her body, her very dead body. There was two of her, a dead one and a living one. The detective didn't push her to try and relive her own death, that was inhuman. But her body provided lots of knowledge to Recovery Girl, the autopsy showing her new body was designed to carry sound much more efficiently than Present Mic's own vocal cords. Another thing was discovered, half of it was silicon.
That was the breakthrough to discovering what Eijiro Kirishima was partly made out of. They were the first registered life that was partly silicon based. That boy was also roughed up pretty bad, but by the time questioning was over he was starting to look better, walking around without a chip of himself cracking off.
Then...there was the nomu. All testimonies told them it was something with multiple quirks designed to defeat All Might himself. That proved it, All for One was back, and he had made the first move.
Naomasa took another large gulp of his coffee, the sun set far long ago. It was around two a.m., and he was in Principal Nezu's office along with the One for All gang. Nighteye had assigned his sidekicks to keep watch over Izuku Midoriya's house and report if the boy was suddenly missing. Nighteye did argue to place Izuku under arrest and attempt to remove the watch, but that was very, very illegal. He was a teenage boy who just experienced something traumatic, even if he wasn't acting like it right now.
"So, what the hell are we supposed to do?" Gran Torino asked the million dollar question.
"Isn't it obvious?" Nighteye asked them.
"No, it's really not." Naomasa scowled back at the man. "And if you try to do anything against that boy without reasonable cause I will place you under arrest."
"I have plenty of reasons."
"Not in the eyes of the law or basic human decency."
"Before we even decide on an action for Izuku Midoriya." Nezu said from atop his highchair, spinning slightly in place to keep himself awake. "We need to discuss if we believe him to be connected to-"
"All for One?" All Might interrupted, slightly out of it. "He's back, there's no doubt about it."
"But him using that kid? Against his own servants? Laughable." Gran Torino sagged into the sofa, considering taking a nap right there.
"It could be a play to get us to trust the boy." Nighteye mused.
"A house divided against itself can not stand." Nezu stated. "If Midoriya has the ability to take quirks away, then why gift new, powerful abilities that are stronger than previous quirks? These also cannot be taken away from All for One, seeing as it is in the foundation of their DNA."
"That's a good point." All Might said, leaning back in his chair. "If All for One ever had that power, he would not let it be used so...generously."
"So it's agreed." Naomasa rubbed his temple, glad they had gotten somewhere. "Izuku Midoriya is not working with All for One, nor is that man aware of the 'omnitrix.'"
"Not entirely, but we have nothing to say otherwise." Nighteye gave in, seeing how he would not be able to convince the others. What other power could do anything in that watch unless it was connected to him?
"He would be now." Nezu said, sipping at his beverage. "The leaders of this attack have seen first hand what the watch can do to take away quirks within a moment. That at the very least will be reported back to him, and he will be interested."
"So, we need to keep Izuku Midoriya safe from All for One?" Naomasa guessed.
"Oh yes." Nezu nodded. "Yet more importantly what is on his wrist."
"Are you saying we should try taking the kids PQE?" Gran Torino asked, not believing in the idea of it.
"This is far more than any scar." All Might said, leaning forward. His eyes shone through the dim room getting everyone's attention. "There is intelligence behind that watch, someone created it and strapped it on that boy's wrist. So long as Izuku Midoriya possesses it, he will be in danger from not just All for One, but anyone who wishes to dictate who and who doesn't have power."
I DID IT! TWO CHAPTERS IN LESS THAN TWELVE HOURS HELL YEAH!
Any grammar errors please point it out

Let me know what you think about it and if you want to see more!
Planar-Walking-Entertainment:
Paradox did hint at it in the very first chapter. For quirked aliens, that's a no. Too much confusion would happen. Kurogiri is simply the only one with a stable quirk factor because of how he was made to be a stable nomu.
Chaos-Guard:
NOPE! Not yet.
Animeguy1101:
Well guess what! I just put out another chapter around 3 hours after this review! IN THE SAME DAY BOOOOIIIII
The-Gamer-6818:
You're right, it's because of the on board AI. Izuku always refers to other peoples 'mutations' as quirks, so it learned from that.
EbayUserGreen:
He came in clutch in a life or death situation, Izuku simply had faith in his friends first before it got bad.
Funny-Little-Cute White Fox:
UUUUuuuuhhhhm..so yeah, he healed them. But it was either by the watch or by an alien and I don't want him transforming yet.
Death-boy36:
They live! Mostly. One's half dead and the other did die but is also alive.
Death Fury:
No transformations yet!
dsgundam00:
Ha! Boom baby!
trollzor69:
No.
arroyokenneth93:
That would be a cool idea, but we would need a lot more aliens first.
ProjectIceman:
Behold! He has accepted that he needs to use the omnitrix!
Stormgate:
Hey, I am posting a new chapter around ten minutes after your review so it's fine right?
Cavaliere Nero:
Yes, it wouldn't be hard for Azmuth to do it but Izuku would need to get in contact with Azmuth first. This omnitrix has its own storage, but can sync up with the original Primus to obtain even more DNA.
