"I AM THE GREAT STORM DRAGON; VELDORA, AND YOU, ARE MY CHILD!" Veldora exclaims excitedly uppn Izuku asking for his name.
"... EHHHH!?" Izuku yells, confused.
"Your current body was formed from his magicules, thus making you his offspring by way of technicality." Rimuru explains, clearly understanding his confusion.
"Y-yeah, what she said." Veldora says, far quieter than before.
"S-so, does that mean that my body isn't real?" Izuku questions after taking a second to ponder it over.
"I wouldn't say that. I'd say that your situation is similar to that of my other child, Charybdis. You have a body of your own, but if you were to die, it would be possible for you to revive by claiming the body of another being. Key difference being, you actually have a soul, and a mind of your own." Veldora explains. "Now then, we need to figure out how to remove unlimited imprisonment."
"Hey Izuku, do you know what your Unique Skills are? According to Great Sage, everyone who possesses one should instinctively know what they are." Rimuru says after thinking it over for a second.
"H-hold on, let me think." Izuku says before doing thinking it over for a bit. "Aha, if Unlimited Imprisonment is the result of a skill, then one of my Unique Skills should work to get rid of it. One of it's aspects is the ability to remove the long-lasting effects of other skills." He says excitedly. "Also, who's Great Sage?"
"Don' worry about it." Rimuru says offhandedly. "Anyways, try using your skill on Unlimited Imprisonment, then we'll try my idea, which is for me to use Predator on it."
"Alright, here I go!" Izuku exclaims. "PURITY!"
A beam of brilliant, greenish-white light launches from his body and impacts Unlimited Imprisonment. The instant Purity hits Unlimited Imprisonment it begins to crack, and for a second it seems like it'll work, but instead of Unlimited Imprisonment shattering, Purity does.
"DAMNIT!" Rimuru shouts upon seeing this. "Welp, onto Plan B." She says as she approaches the Barrier.
"What are you doing?" Izuku questions, Veldora nodding in agreement.
"I'm gonna use Predator on it." Rimuru responds.
"And what exactly does Predator do?" Veldora asks.
If she had a face, Rimuru would grin. "Just watch. PREDATOR!" Her body extends toward Unlimited Imprisonment, but it just bounces off instead of doing anything. "Huh, I really thought that would work.
"Can you explain Predator to me?" Izuku asks, and Rimuru does so. "I see. How 'bout this, the 2 of you both analyze Unlimited Imprisonment at the same time, Rimuru using Predator's analysis aspect from the outside, while Veldora analyzes it from the inside."
"But we don't know how long that could take, and I only have about a decade left until my Magicules run out and I die. Also, you both would be stuck here while that happens." Veldora argues.
"Wait, I think that I know what he's saying to do." Rimuru interjects, placing a metaphorical hand on her metaphorical chin, before turning to Izuku. "You're saying for me to use Predator to store Veldora and Unlimited Imprisonment in my stomach, and do it that way, right?" Rimuru asks.
Izuku nods, making Veldora's eyes widen in realization.
"Indeed, with my Investigator skill and Rimuru's Predator skill working together to analyze Unlimited Imprisonment, we'll be able to analyze Unlimited Imprisonment twice as fast!" He exclaims. "LET'S DO IT!"
Rimuru mentally nods and prepares to use Predator.
"But first!" Veldora exclaims before he shrinks and takes on a human appearance. "I shall teach Izuku how to enter Human Form!"
"Wait, I can do that!?" Izuku asks.
"Indeed! All True Dragons have a Human Form! We're too large and Powerful to lead a normal life without one!" Veldora answers loudly. "In order to enter it, merely envision what you want your human form to look like, and condense your magicules into that shape, then that will become your human form, which you can enter or exit with a thought." He explains.
Izuku's eyes narrow in concentration as he does so, eventually being engulfed in a flash of emerald light as he transforms in a way that is far flashier than Veldora's transformation. When the light clears, Izuku's human form is revealed.
"Lookin good, Izuku." Rimuru compliments upon his human form being revealed.
Izuku blushes and nods. "Th-thanks, I based it on what I looked like prior to reincarnating, though the horns are a nod to the fact that I'm no longer human." He explains.
"By the way, I forgot to ask, but what's your element? It'll probably have something to do with weather, seeing as I am the Storm Dragon, but I'm curious as to what exactly it is." Veldora asks.
Izuku thinks about it for a second before raising a hand as emerald lightning begins to cackle around it. "I'm the Thunder Dragon, as I have the ability to manipulate both Lightning and Sound, just as you can manipulate both Lightning and Water, which combine to make the storm element." He says.
Veldora nods before returning to his Dragon form. "Now then! It's time for our analysis of Unlimited Imprisonment! Rimuru, take both me and it within your stomach with Predator so that we may begin the process of my revival!" He exclaims.
"Right! PREDATOR!" Rimuru yells, her body expanding and wrapping around Unlimited Imprisonment before shrinking back to it's normal size, sealing away Veldora until the day that he can be freed.
"Now then, time to find a way out of this cave." Izuku says as he turns to begin searching.
"Indeed!" Veldora exclaims via telepathy.
"Huuuh!?" Izuku and Rimuru yell simultaneously upon hearing Veldora's voice in their minds.
