Master Control
Chapter 34
The map brought him right towards the salvage yard, where he was originally going anyway. At this point it didn't really feel like all these events in his life were coincidences. Walking up to the worn out building littered with scorch marks, Izuku peeked his head towards the cracked window. He didn't see a sign for open hours, or any signs at all besides the address. Maybe this place was abandoned, best case scenario to go in, track this alien down without getting noticed, and grab some spare parts.
"Hi there!"
"Ah!" Izuku jumped from the surprise greeting, spinning around with his hand going over the dial. The person smiling there was filthy, covered in soot head to toe. The only part of the girl that wasn't covered was her teeth and around her eyes in the shape of goggles.
She tilted her head, humming as she leaned in to the point she was pressing herself against him. "Have we met?" Her eyes glanced down to his wrist, sparkling when she connected the dots.
"I knew it! I knew you would bring this baby back to me!" Without permission, Izuku's arm was grabbed as he recalled the familiar sensation, including the licking. Oh no not this girl.
"Yep! It's the same!" Mei Hatsume pressed the omnitrix against her face, her crosshair eyes spinning as she took in every detail. "So, have you come to let me reverse engineer it? Sell it to me? *GASP* Does it come with schematics?!"
"N-no!" Izuku ripped his arm free, Hatsume's smile dropping as she was on the verge of tears. She reminded him too much of a toddler. "I came here because I needed some parts."
"An inventor!" She instantly perked up again. "So you did make that watch?!"
"No!" Izuku had to keep his arm away from this girl as she kept reaching for it, almost like she was possessed. "I was given it to look after it. I can't give it to you."
"Awww." Mei pouted, her heart longing to understand the materials behind the fancy watch. "Fine, so, what are you building?"
Her renewed excitement was really throwing Izuku off, either she was hyper excited or whining about something. How did she even get into UA? "Hold on, you have school today right?"
"I got suspended for trying to build the future! Which may have violated international peace treaties, but I didn't know! What about you?"
"I, um, there's a lot of reasons." Having kids, getting held hostage, picking fights with top ten heroes, those were just the immediate three reasons he could think of.
"Eh, it doesn't matter." Mei waved it off, grabbing his arm and leading it to the front door as she held up the key. "What's important is that you need help making babies!"
NO THANKS! He already made kids on his own, he didn't need any more!
She clicked the key into the hole, bringing Izuku into a den of half torn apart machines all around. "So, what are you going to use your babies for?"
Use them for? Oh thank All Might she meant her inventions. Now significantly more calm, Izuku could think more clearly about what he needed. "I mostly need parts from AC units, compressors, condenser coils, and some working batteries if you have any."
"Oh?" The girl gave him a quizzical look. "Are you just doing some home repairs? If so you could probably get better parts from the manufacturer, since most of those are covered by warranties anyways."
"No no." Izuku looked over towards the salvage yard, filled with all sorts of junk. Mostly he was looking for anything that didn't look like human junk. "I'm making some, pocket air conditioners. I have some, siblings that get overheated quickly but-"
"AHA!" Mei slammed open the backdoor, leading to the vast collection of scraps. "So you are an inventor! I thought you were just some lame youtube video watching repair guy, but you're making something new to solve an issue! Necessity is the father of invention after all! Pairing nicely with his lovely wife, failure!"
Please just leave him alone already.
Following her out through the rows of stacked rust, Izuku saw all sorts of everyday items stripped of all sorts of components, leaving little behind. "Um, are you sure we can just come in here without permission?"
"It's alright! My uncle owns the place. Whenever Powerloader kicks me out of the support studio, I come here."
"Do you ever go home to see your parents?"
"Nah, they got arrested for super heavy drug abuse and child neglect."
Izuku stumbled from how straight forward she was. How was she just so casual about that? Deciding to move on from a subject that should be sensitive, he checked the omnitrix again to see where the alien was. The ping on his minimap kept moving around, never staying in one place for long before popping up somewhere else. Oh no please don't be glitching out.
"Here we are!" Mei threw her arms towards a pile of old apartment AC units. "These old babies should have whatever you need, after that we can go find some good batteries! There should be some ok ones kept near those worn out electric scooters."
He nodded, glancing at the pile but not really sure what was in good enough condition for his aliens. Hoping to just transform really quick, he glanced behind him to see Mei sifting through the parts with him. Guess he would have to rely on her for now.
"So um, how much is this gonna cost?" He mentally recounted how much money he actually had, which wasn't much but junk couldn't be that expensive right?
"I don't need any money."
Whew.
"I just want you to give me a new quirk!"
Shit.
Shuffling out of the trash like it was her natural habitat, a fierce grin was spreading across the mad woman's face. "I heard about you when those other hero students keep coming for costume changes. They thought your class was getting quirk boosts through outfits at first, but I kept track of every baby made in the studio and told them Powerloader hasn't approved any of my quirk mimicking babies yet. But you aren't a hero or support student, so there's nothing stopping you from using personal equipment at school! When I rewatched the sports festival, I saw how all those folk who put in new costume changes were all hanging around you and had a BUNCH of new quirk abilities to take into account! You don't have a quirk, and since your watch doesn't tell time it has to do something else to use a metal I can't even identify. So now I want you to use your watch to give me an even better quirk for making babies!"
This girl was more observant than he thought, which really scared Izuku about just how many people in the school might now be starting to make similar connections.
*BrZrzZ*
The stress of keeping track of secrets temporarily took a backseat as Izuku glanced up towards a wire that was sparking wildly. "Um, is that normal here?"
"Hm?" Mei looked over towards the source, pulling her signature goggles over her eyes and checking out the phenomena.
A blue streak of lightning was zipping across one of the electrical wires over the scraps, before ejecting out towards a rusted pile. He pulled up the map on his omnitrix, seeing the blinking dot right where that spark went.
"What's over in that pile?" Izuku asked hesitantly.
"Oh that area? That's where my Uncle stashed my failed mini nuclear babies."
Pleasebeafriendlyalienpleasebeafriendlyalienpleasebeafriendlyalien.
Sprinting off towards the source, Izuku did his best to silence his steps while swiftly making his way over to the area. With a directed thought, he commanded the omnitrix to switch back to mental notifications instead of vocal. Crawling up a stack of stripped cars, Izuku slowly looked out to get a better look at what he was dealing with. He hoped to be able to recognize the alien to better understand just what he was dealing with. Something like an Atrocian, Revonnahgander, or even a harmless Lewodan.
Instead he saw one he didn't recognize, a being resembling a blue humanoid jellyfish. It had four tentacles it used for arms, with two others that had larger stumps at the ends serving as feet.
"No." It spoke, lifting a random sheet of metal to peer under it.
"No." Moving towards another section of the trashed contraptions, it propped open a scorched panel and checked inside. "This doesn't look salvageable either."
"Watcha doin?" Mei popped up beside Izuku, nearly giving him a heart attack.
"Shh!" Izuku threw his hand over her mouth. "We don't want to let him know we're here."
"Junk!" The alien tossed a worn out generator. "This incursed world and its lack of technology. Bivalvan will just have to find a way to fix the hyperdrive without spare parts, given how nothing here is useful."
"HEY!" Mei forced her way up past Izuku, pointing right at the alien. "This isn't a junkyard! All of these parts can make plenty of handy babies!"
"Hatsume!" Izuku grabbed her shoulders to try and pull her away.
'Uncataloged DNA detected.'
The dial of the omnitrix rose out of the housing, a flat yellow ray overcoming the alien's form. After passing over the being, it receded back into its original position.
'Unknown DNA sample acquired. Scan complete.'
As much as he wanted to sit down and go over having a new alien to look into, he was more concerned about how said alien was now very well aware of him. Great, he had ONE job, not to get discovered by aliens who could be world ending threats looking for him. So what did he do? Chase after the first sign of alien life without letting any of the few people who DO know about a potential threat about it. He just left his youngest sister with five super powered alien children that were just a day old.
Izuku swore he wasn't this stupid.
"So, you gonna say something?" Mei stepped up towards the alien hovering right in front of her. "Huh? You calling this place trash? Well guess who came to steal it! You! Trash stealer!"
"Your insults are hardly as effective as you believe them to be." The alien dismissed the child, turning towards Izuku. "And you, Izuku Midoriya, bearer of the omnitrix."
SHIT HE KNOWS!
"Do not be concerned." The alien raised a tentacle. "I am not the threat you fear."
Then, how did this guy know what he was afraid of?
As if sensing his thoughts, the alien began to explain. "I am Ra'ad, my species are masters of electric currents and can read the electrical pulses generated in the brains of nearly every creature."
Oh, so he literally could read minds.
"That's what I just said yes."
"So wait." Izuku in a much calmer state was piecing things together. "What are you doing on Earth then?"
"I KNEW IT!" Mei lunged to hug the alien, who became intangible to the girl's impulses. Despite crashing into a pile of scraps, her enthusiasm didn't die down. "ALIENS ARE REAL! HAHAHAHA! TAKE THAT POWERLOADER!"
A new headache began to form in Izuku's head, realizing he just unintentionally let another person know about aliens.
"Hmm." Ra'ad narrowed his eyes at the psychotic girl before looking over to Izuku. "I and four others were attempting to escape from an Osmosian named Aggregor. We crashed onto this planet and were about to split ways, but then we quickly discovered that this world was in chaos. Fearing that there was a contaminant in the planet that rapidly mutated the species, we sheltered ourselves in the crashed ship while seeking to repair it as quickly as possible before Aggregor located us. Yet if we are truly a universe away from him, then we are safe at the moment, but lost from our homeworlds."
"SPACESHIP?!" Mei bounced around the alien faster than he could watch her, or read her thoughts. "YOUMEANYOUHAVESOMETHINGETHATHASAPOWERSOURCECAPABLEOFFASTERTHANLIGHTTRAVELAND-"
*Zap*
The girl jolted as the alien sent a current through her body locking up her muscles.
"I should take you to the others." Ra'ad floated towards Izuku. "It will make explaining things easier."
"A-ah yeah! Of course!" The boy nodded along with the alien, just overall relieved to know that this wasn't the world ending threat, just another group of lost aliens.
"Follow me."
"Wait!" Izuku called out before the alien flew off. "We can't just leave her."
"That's right!" Mei sat up, her body forgetting it was supposed to be paralyzed. "I need to see your ship! I can even help fix it!"
Narrowing his eyes at her, Ra'ad examined the girl. "How are you moving already?"
"I get zapped like that all the time working on stuff. NOW LET'S GO SEE THAT SPACESHIP!"
*click*
Eri looked over towards the door as her sister entered, with many others.
"Did all of you have to come?" The annoyed blonde set her school bag down, Eijiro, Kyoka, Denki, Reiko, and Pony all entering behind her.
"We wanna see the babies!" Denki excitedly moved in, not seeing anything but Eri laying on her stomach in the living room on her laptop.
"Hey Eri." Pony waved over to the younger girl. "Where's the blubies?"
"Blubies?" Kyoka wondered if it was an American term.
"Oh!" Eijiro saw what she was getting at. "Blue babies!"
"They're sleeping." Eri pointed towards Izuku's room, the cold climate sealed off from the rest of the house.
"Ah dang." Denki slumped his shoulders in disappointment. "When will they wake up?"
Eri just shrugged, going back to looking up random things on the internet.
"Where's Izuku?" Reiko questioned as she stuck her head through the door to check on the baby chills.
"He went to get some stuff." Eri casually stated, nearly giving everybody else a heart attack.
"Seriously?!" Himiko shouted. "He had ONE job to do! Not leave the house and get some rest!"
"He also pissed off a villain yesterday." Denki added, getting a jab in the ribs by Kyoka who pointed towards Pony. "Ah, sorry. Didn't mean to bring up-"
"Where did he go?" Pony instantly demanded from the youngest in the room.
"He went to get stuff from a scrapyard for the blubies to make sure they don't run off." Eri explained. "Now that he can transform, you guys shouldn't be so worried about him."
"Ok and?" Himiko knelt down to Eri. "So what if he can turn into Frozen Mothman-"
"He hates being called that." Eri cut her off.
"Whatever." Himiko rolled her eyes. "That doesn't mean he'll be safe for sure if-"
"Do you know about that alien he turns into to feed the baby chills?" Eri cut off Himiko again.
"All Might rip off?"
"Nuclear, All Might. He can literally create suns in the palm of his hands with that one. Another one of his aliens can manipulate time, or another run across the planet in a few seconds, and one that can fly across the galaxy faster than light itself. If the omnitrix can turn him into any of those to prevent him from dying, then he's more powerful than anybody on Earth."
They stood in silence at the information, never connecting overwhelming strength and Izuku.
"Seriously?" Denki was in awe thinking about it. "So, why are we worried?"
"He can still get hurt." Pony rubbed her hands together, remembering how Izuku was crawling away from a fight against Gang Orca. "He may have strong forms, but that doesn't mean they're invincible. He can still feel pain, he can still get injured, we just want to make sure the people trying to hurt him don't get that chance."
"Scrapyard huh?" Himiko showed them all her phone, a dot located near one of the beaches on the opposite side of Japan. "Oh, look at that, he's keeping secrets again."
"Hold on!" Eijiro came forward to stand between the sisters. "You remember how often he gets distracted or sidetracked when something comes up?"
"You remember all those secrets he kept?" Himiko shot back.
"All the secrets he told us?"
"All of them?!" Himiko stomped her foot on the ground. "You were always trying to figure out what secrets he was keeping."
"Where is all of this coming from?!" Eijiro shouted back. "You 've been on edge ever since the sports festival!"
"Oh so none of this bothers you? I know you're upset Mina doesn't know about any of this, how do you think she feels being pushed away from us and she doesn't even know why? Everythings would be fine without all these damn secrets that keep endangering everyone!"
*ring ring*
The yelling halted as Reiko held her phone up to her ear, awaiting for the person on the other side to answer.
"Hello?" Izuku's voice came over the device.
"Hey." Reiko greeted. "We came to check up on you and say hi to your kids. Where are you?"
"Oh, sorry. I ended up meeting an alien while searching for parts. He brought me to his friends where-"
"We are not friends." A deep man's voice spoke up in a russian accent.
"-allies." Izuku corrected. "Anyways, their ship crashed here from another universe. I'm going to see how I can help them. If you need me back just shoot me a text and I'll be right over."
"Ok. Good luck." Reiko then ended the call, looking back towards Himiko and giving her the stink eye. "See? There's no reason to not trust him. All you have to do is ask."
"Pr?" One of the baby chills stuck their head through the door, yawning as it's tired eyes glanced over the group. When it saw Pony, it perked up and flew towards her.
"Woah." Denki stared at the creature as it nibbled on Pony's horn. "They don't look like him at all."
"They're alien babies." Kyoka reminded him. "When Izuku was transformed, remember?"
"Yeah but." Denki scratched his head as another one came out of the room. "I at least expected some freckles you know?"
"Maybe they do." Eri pointed out as she traced her fingers over one of their heads. "They have patterns, so maybe these are the same as freckles for them."
"Do they need diapers?" Eijiro asked as he knelt down to another.
"Izuku said they didn't." Himiko relaxed, seeing Enji start to play with her hand. "I mean, they got no dicks, no balls, and no butthole either because these guys feed on radiation."
"Solar plasma." Eri corrected her sister.
"Well-" Pony walked over to the cupboard, where Izuku had stored some leftover metal from the freezer in portion sizes. "-Until he finishes up what he's doing. We can look after the bluebies."
"Sure." Kyoka smirked seeing Tensei flying circles around her. "I mean, how hard is it to handle some aliens?"
"So these quirks here, they aren't contagious right?" A Russian man's voice came from the walking furnace. His suit was ridiculously bulky, three slits allowing the alien within to see what was beyond his metal prison.
"No one really knows where they came from." Izuku answered truthfully. "And it's not exclusive to humans, but if the omnitrix says you'll be fine that's the best answer I can give."
"Speaking of which." A humanoid crimson crustacean spoke from his work, a blowtorch device in hand repairing one of the thrusters. "I thought the omnitrix was on Earth., the one in our universe."
"I was given it." Izuku showed it off. "To keep it safe from an invasion."
"That's right." Ra'ad nodded along. "It even reached our galaxy when the Highbreed eliminated Galvan Prime just recently. Azmuth must have sent the omnitrix out of the Highbreed's reach by sending it here to this universe."
"Azmuth?" Izuku asked aloud. "Who is that?"
"The creator of the omnitrix." An oversized turtle with flat appendages spoke.
"Ugh." A lumbering alien with a hard yellow shell with pistons over his elbows groaned. "Too much talk for Andreas, need food."
"You'll get food once we leave this planet." Ra'ad explained to the less intelligent of them. "We get enough complaining from P'andor already."
The other Russian sounding alien harrumphed from being called out. "At least I know to stay away from large crowds."
"I don't know if we'll finish in time to get food." Bivalvan spoke up from his work spot. "Half of the fuel rods are cracked, and even if we get off this rock we don't know if our worlds even exist in this universe."
*POP* Smoke began to rise from the other engine, Mei coughing as she waved the substance away. "It's alright! Just a minor boom. Nothing to worry about."
*Fwoom*
There was a good reason to worry when the engine Mei walked away from began to catch fire.
"No no!" Bivalvan ran over, dousing the engine with water from his palms. "That was the good one!"
Oblivious to the danger, Mei just wiped her brow and smiled. "It was super clogged up with this funky glowing stuff."
She held up, a glob of something that Izuku swears should not be handled without a hazmat suit. The way it was glowing was pretty scary.
"Speaking of food." P'andor came over, taking the glob out of Mei's hand and pushing it through his facial slit. "Ahhh, that's a good snack."
"Is that, healthy?" The turtle alien asked.
"Maybe not for you Galapagus." Ra'ad responded.
"Um." Izuku rose his hand to get their attention. "I know Andreas is hungry, but-"
"Andreas is really hungry!" The mechanical alien armadillo yelled to the boy.
"Why don't we go get something to eat then?" The boy offered.
"You mean among your own kind?" Ra'ad looked out towards the trees, sensing the civilization's homes beyond nature.
"Is it safe?" Galapagus wondered aloud.
"As if humans could harm us." P'andor boasted, clanging his fist on his armor.
"Andreas crush mean humans!"
"No no!" Izuku waved his hands in front of the four. "That won't be necessary! Because mutant quirks can make people look really different, then you can blend in just fine! Sort of."
"Your confidence is assuring." P'andor began to walk ahead, taking on humanity head on.
"Is that lying too?" Galapagus questioned the armored alien. "Because our human friend clearly doesn't have much confidence in his speech."
"Let's just get this over with." Ra'ad floated off to watch the others, Andreas following behind them.
"Bivalvan." Izuku called out to the alien. "Are you coming with us?"
"No." The alien grumbled as he was pushing Mei away from one of his tools. "I'll be too busy here to-hey! Get away from that!"
"Ok." Izuku began to follow the other aliens. "But if you find out anything you need, or want us to pick something up for you, you have my frequency."
Himiko was squatting right in front of the five little demons, all of them staring at her with focused stares.
"Do it again!" Eri demanded, holding up her phone to record the event.
In a single blink, Himiko's eyes turned into the emerald bug eyed ones mimicking the 'bluebies' as everyone kept calling them. The children leaned forward, in awe at the familiarity manifesting on the girl's face. One of them reached out, poking Himiko's eye.
"Ah!" Himiko recoiled, her eyes shifting back to normal as Eijiro came over.
"You good?" He asked as Himiko shrugged it off.
"Eh, I don't really feel pain." Sitting up, Himiko stretched her head around three times before letting it rest on her shoulders.
"What about when you get water on you?" Pony mentioned from the couch, slipping through different channels with Denki and Kyoka sitting with her.
"That sucks." Himiko then proceeded to turn on the sink in the kitchen, putting her finger under the running water. The bluebies floated into the air, watching alongside the other teens as Himiko's finger slowly washed away down the drain. "But honestly, it doesn't feel bad, just weird like a limb slowly going numb until you can't feel it. Only in my case I can't feel it because it's literally gone."
Turning off the running water, Himiko showed off her hand as she grew a new finger.
"How often can you regenerate like that?" Kyoka questioned out of simple curiosity.
"I don't know, haven't tested it." The shapeshifter then found her fingers being pulled at by Rumi and Keigo, stretching them as they flew around the house.
"Mom doesn't want us to purposely hurt ourselves." Eri shortly explained.
"Is that alright?" Denki cautiously watched as Himiko's fingers were stretched all around the house, the girl's arm starting to become thinner.
"Oh yeah!" Himiko waved it off. "It's fine so long as-"
*crunch*
Himiko's arm plopped onto the ground, Enji having breathed some ice around her elbow breaking off the appendage. "-that doesn't happen. Uuuugh Mom will not be happy with this."
*Tink tink*
"Yeah." Eijiro held up his arm, showing Tensei nibbling away at his limb. "Um, they might be hungry."
*CRUNCHPSSHHHHHHH*
"AAAAH!" The panicked screams filled the house as Shinji bit into the tap, water spraying from the kitchen and into the living room. Himiko grabbed a nearby cushion, shielding herself and rushing away into her room while Eijiro and Denki tried to stop the water from spraying everywhere. Kyoka split into multiple of herselves, running around and trying to collect all of the kids as they seemed to love flying through the makeshift rain. Pony tried to help, using her horns to try and get the back down within arms reach.
"How do we stop it?!" Eijiro tried jamming his fingers into the leak, but it only increased the pressure and the size of the whole.
"I don't know isn't there a lever or something?!" Denki opened the cupboard under the sink, looking for anything that might help. He saw something, and in a desperate attempt to stop the chaos he twisted the knob. Suddenly the water became scalding hot, Denki wincing at everydrop that fell on him.
It went dark, a click of a lightswitch and it was near pitch black. The noise of the water stiffened, pipes groaning for a moment before a short squeak was heard. Nobody was truly sure what was happening, all that they knew was that they weren't being drenched anymore.
*click* The lightswitch came back on, Reiko standing next to it. "Sorry, I can use my powers better when it's dark."
"Is it over?!" Himiko yelled from her room.
"Yeah!" Eri shouted, pulling out her laptop from under her shirt. She then proceeded to walk over to the sink area, placing her hands over the damage. Her horn flared, the energy traveling through her body until she directed it towards the sink. Soon, it was repaired as if it was brand new.
"Gotcha!" A Kyoka grabbed Tensei from the air, Pony managing to grab Rumi and keep her in her arms.
"I think they're hungry." Pony voiced her concern as she looked over to the Midoriya siblings. "Did Izuku leave any food?"
"What's he gonna do? Leave a mini sun in the house?" Denki joked.
"Well he needs to get back here soon." Eijiro looked at the mess around the sink. Damn and the Midoriyas had just moved into the place. "I don't see how we can feed them."
Reiko instantly dialed her phone, calling Izuku. "Hey, your kids are getting hungry. How soon will you be back."
"I'm just arriving." Izuku answered. "Though I brought company to eat too-"
*SLAM*
"BURRITOS!" Andreas kicked in the door while holding up his massive arms, terrified yelling flooding the house.
"Hey hey!" Mei popped her head down over the side of the ship towards Bivalvan, who was currently working on a very sensitive engine.
"What is it?" He sighed, having to put up with her antics ever since they brought the humans.
"You need this?"
"For the last time." The alien grumbled as he was tempted to blast a torrent of water to wash her away. "I do not need any help from-"
He paused, seeing one of the critical components dangling from her hand. Cautiously he received it, looking it over and setting his tool down. "I thought I threw this out after it was damaged."
"I fixed it!" Mei smiled brightly towards him.
"How? We don't have any micro instruments on board to do the-"
"It's my quirk!" Mei lifted her goggles up to show off her eyes.
"Hm." Bivalvan wouldn't say that he wasn't worried about this strange phenomena that overcame Earth, but seeing the practical use for it now, combined with the fact that this human managed to figure out what part he needed, the least he could do was make the best out of this. "You see that panel over there?"
"The one that controls the amount of fuel being burnt?"
"Yes, a lot of the control pathways are fried. Clean out the burnt ones and use this to put in new ones." Bivalvan handed the needle point tool to Mei, who seemed overjoyed to even be around all of this tech. She examined the tool carefully, testing each button and knob on it carefully until she was holding it properly.
"Yes sir!" Mei crawled from her spot to sit over the panel, hanging over it as she worked upside down and quickly opened it up with ease. At least she wasn't blowing anything up now.
"Oh! And maybe we can ask those heroes that are coming over for help! They should be able to do some heavy lifting."
What?
Bivalvan looked towards where Mei casually pointed, and didn't see anything. "How far away are they?"
"A few miles, but they look like they're combing the area!"
Bivalvan quickly went inside the ship, running to the command deck and tapping on one of the few still working instruments. The radar like screen quickly detected the approaching lifeforms, and just like she said they were coming this way.
He needed to warn the others.
"All of them know?" Galapagus looked over the cramped living room, many of the humans, er, many half humans sitting in the room. Denki and Kyoka were squished on the couch with Andreas stuffing the bean and cheese burritos in his mouth, watching the funny people on tv.
"HAHAHA!" Andreas pointed at the television, shaking both of the teens. "He fell down!"
"Yeah." Izuku answered as he placed the white square of technology on Rumi's chest. The four white bands snapped around her torso, thankfully she was distracted by the metal bottle that she nibbled on. The tip had some of Eijiro's crystals to make sure she didn't bite through it, and it stored a fine amount of solar plasma.
Of course, this was a project in progress until he got enough materials that Bivalvan deemed unnecessary to fix the ship
"Dude." Eijiro looked over P'andor, who was standing off in the corner.
"What?" The alien glanced over to the boy.
"Your armor is super cool."
"How would you like to be stuffed in a prison?" He harshly shot back.
"P'andor!" Ra'ad called out from across the room. "Stop bringing up your personal problems to our hosts."
"Hmph." P'andor folded his metal arms, sulking in the corner. He saw someone else staring at him, one of the 'alien' children was looking right at his visor. To think that one of the only two full humans present ended up being the parent of full blooded necrofriggian spawns.
"What?" He addressed his attention to the child, who's antennas twitched towards him. Another one fluttered towards it, sitting beside its sibling. P'andor grew nervous as he saw a third one show up. Soon, all five of them were right in front of him, staring straight at him.
"S-stay back." He demanded, instinctively preparing to defend himself from those hungry eyes.
That only spurred them to action.
"Gah!" P'andor flinched as he crashed his back against the wall. All five of the kids rushed him, all scratching and biting away at his faceplate. "G-get them away!"
*BWOOSH*
"Kids!"
Izuku had transformed into his own Necrofriggian form, commanding the kids with his parental tone. "Come here, now."
Their antennas drooping, all slowly fluttered towards Izuku.
"I'll give you all something to eat, for now just wait in your room. No more trying to eat others alive."
One after another, they slowly hovered towards the door. Enji lingered behind, slowly turning back towards them only to see Izuku point back towards the door. With a small whine, the child complied and reentered the cold room.
P'andor was relieved that he was no longer assaulted, but saw that there were some indents on the vents on his suit. Running his hand over it, he then glanced towards the boy who seemed to be covered in taydenite like crystals. "Excuse me. You wouldn't happen to-"
"No." Ra'ad interrupted the man before he could ask. "You know you have to stay in your suit for their safety."
"Um, excuse me." Eri stepped around them. "I just have to fix the hole."
"Hm?" P'andor moved out of the way, seeing the indent he left in the drywall. He watched with fascination as the girl used her 'quirk' to repair the damage that was done. "That is an, interesting gift you have."
"Thanks!" Eri smiled towards the alien. "My quirk let's me rewind things, but I'm still learning to do all sorts of things with it."
"A time manipulation power." P'andor hummed as he inspected the repaired section. "How rare."
Galapagus came up, investigating the evidence himself. "Not many have the ability to influence time, even in the known universe."
As Eri was praised for her quirk, the others had their attention on Izuku.
"Wow." Denki watched with some amazement. "You're good at being a Dad."
Returning back to human, Izuku picked up the bottle and pulled a few others out of the omnitrix storage. "I still don't think I'm doing enough."
"You're doing more than any of us expected." Pony reassured Izuku. "I mean, between helping us with school, extra projects in the business course, managing having the omnitrix, being a dad, and now you're helping other aliens who are trying to get home!"
"You've been extremely helpful." Galapagus complimented the boy with sincerity. "We are incredibly grateful to you."
"Shouldn't we tell someone about this?" Kyoka spoke up. "Like Eraserhead or the Detective guy?"
"Not like they can really do anything more to help." Reiko shrugged. "I mean, not unless they can fix a spaceship."
"Still." Eri pondered aloud. "Won't they be mad that we didn't tell them right away?"
"Or." Himiko gave a very pointed look towards Izuku. "What about the fact that when an alien was detected Izuku charged straight in without letting anyone know about it?"
"Yeah." Eijiro nodded in agreement. "That wasn't very smart, especially since-uh." The crystal teen recalled how despite many knowing about the existence of aliens, Eri and Himiko were kept out of the loop of a world ending one that was after the omnitrix.
"What?" Himiko glanced over to the boy. "The villains?"
"Yeah! Them. Those guys."
Ra'ad watched the growing intensity within the dwelling, finding it hard to keep track of the rapid thoughts through such varying lifeforms.
"Incoming Transmission." The omnitrix alerted Izuku, saving them from the stiffening atmosphere.
"Hello?"
"Midoriya was it?" Bivalvan spoke on the other end. "We've got a bit of an issue."
"What's wrong?" Izuku became serious, holding out the bottles to Eri. "Did Hatsume do something?"
"No, she's been surprisingly helpful. Even if she keeps blowing things up."
"It's part of the process!" Mei's voice called over Bivalvan's.
"Anyways." The alien continued. "There's some heroes sweeping the area. They're still a few miles out but they're approaching."
Of course, a crashed ship is bound to get some attention even if it was somewhere unpopulated.
Ra'ad floated over, speaking towards Izuku's wrist. "How soon will you be able to repair the ship?"
"I need another hour or two, but the heroes will discover us sooner than that at this rate."
"Ok." Izuku answered. "We'll be there soon."
Ending the transmission, Izuku looked over to his alien friends. "Ok, we need a way to keep the heroes busy."
"I can handle that." P'andor answered as he stepped forward. "These heroes, they are strong yes?"
"Andreas stronger!" The mechanical humanoid armadillo stood up, finally taking his eyes off the television.
"Wait!" Izuku held his hands forward to try and deescalate the situation. "You guys can't be the distraction otherwise you might not be able to leave on the ship!"
"It is alright." P'andor placed a gloved hand on Izuku's shoulder. "I have grown very curious of what this world has to offer."
He wanted to stay here? In a world with quirks?! Others held Izuku's puzzled expression, Pony being the first to bring it up.
"Are you saying you want to stay here?" Pony double checked her understanding. "I mean, you might be able to fit in but it's going to be difficult."
"Trust me." P'andor's tone gave off plenty of confidence. "I can find my way around on my own. From what I've seen, Earth is not so different in its society as other planets."
"I mean." Denki scratched his head. "Is this really alright?"
"If it's really what you want." Izuku finally decided.
"But!" Himiko was quick to speak up. "If you get in trouble, you're on your own. We have enough attention already."
"Himiko!" Izuku tried to shove his hand over his sister's mouth, but she kept making more of them all over her body to smirk deviously at him. "Don't worry P'andor, I can teleport you to a new planet if you change your mind."
"Very well." P'andor agreed to the terms.
"Is that how we'll get back to the ship?" Galapagus asked the boy.
That was a good idea, given how they needed to get there sooner than later. But, if the heroes are searching the area then a flash of green light will attract their attention. Yet teleporting was the only way, so…Twisting the dial, Izuku turned to a transformation that wasn't alien this time.
"Woah man." Eijiro saw the hologram Izuku had on the watch. "Are you sure?"
"That's messed up." Denki winced, Kyoka agreeing full heartedly with him.
"It's fine." Reiko shot them a glare. "He knows what he's doing."
"Are you sure?" Pony asked Izuku as she held his arm. "What if the heroes spot you while you look like that?"
"They won't." Izuku assured her. "His portals are silent and don't generate light, so as long as I'm far away enough they'll never notice."
Pushing the dial down, Izuku turned into a familiar face. A dark swirling shadow stood before them, a metal neckbrace with the omnitrix dial at the collar of it. Izuku glanced down at his new hands with his flowing yellow eyes that emitted a mist that seemed to flow up and away from his eyes.
"I have a body." That was the first thing Izuku mentioned while examining himself, and his voice was just like the villain's. This was strange to Izuku, because he felt mostly human with just something extra in him. Was this what it was like to have a quirk?
"C-could you please leave now?" Kyoka asked hesitantly, not wanting to look at Izuku any longer.
"My apologies." Izuku answered, unintentionally his speech sounding just like Kurogiri's. "Let us depart, and I will return soon after helping with their departure. P'andor, I will drop you off nearby the heroes. I trust you have a plan to distract them?"
"Oh yes." The alien responded with anticipation. "I know just what to do to get a hero's attention."
READ BEFORE REVIEWING!
Some of you might be thinking about before when Izuku offered the Amperi transformation to Denki to splice with. Soon after I published that chapter, I realized that this would conflict with Ben 10 continuity since he didn't have that species before the highbreed invasion. Also, I had plans for the Andromeda galaxy aliens, as you see here.
SO! I changed that chapter a while ago, and while some people have reread this story (much to the joy of my heart) I know many others probably haven't and are going to point this out. Now that it is addressed, and the error has been fixed, there's no need to make a rant about continuity regarding this story.
I think I'm going to cut the chapter here, because while things are going to wrap up nicely I will be transitioning to the next arc fairly quickly. Trust me, it's something many of the readers have been waiting for ever since the beginning of the story. I need to iron out some details first but it's going to be huge.
I'm kind of surprised though to see so many people who know so much about Ben 10 predict aliens that the omnitrix already had categorized. The biggest hint was that the alien was not in the omnitrix database, but there were plenty who expected Tetrax. Other names were thrown out, but because the omnitrix never reacted to their presence means they were already a part of its database or were unable to scan.
Summer break is here, and my schedule looks like it will be more open than I expected. So, I committed that every day I have off I will write a new chapter for one of my stories. My goal is to finish at least three of them by the end of summer, and hopefully this will be one of them. I'm really driven to write for this one, so maybe it will happen. It's also the longest one I have in my plans to write, so it will be time consuming compared to others.
List of Hybrids (In order of splicing):
Eijiro Kirishima & Petrosapien/Diamondhead
Himiko Midoriya & Lenopan/Sludgepuppy
Kyoka Jiro & Sonorosian/Echo Echo
Reiko Yanagi & Ectonurite/Ghostfreak
Shota Aizawa/Eraserhead & Thep Khufan/Snare-oh
Denki Kaminari & Nosedeenian/Buzzshock
Tensei Ida & Citrakayah/Fasttrack
Any grammar errors please point it out.

dsgundam00: This is a shorter arc than expected but it will lead right into a heavy arc and tie in later to another mini arc. What makes this one great is that Izuku gets to interact with more real aliens that don't want to kill him!
Animeguy1101: True, but two points that should be brought up is the omnitrix stated they weren't compatible with basic human. So if they decided to have kids with someone that had more similar DNA it could work. Also, the highbreed were done in the same splice and only spliced enough to repair the genetic damage and give some variety to their DNA to solve their sterility problem.
I've read fics that rename aliens that are well known, and honestly it's just easier for everybody to have them keep the same names. Don't worry though, I have a solution to that on a similar method as one you suggest.
leoromerocalvo: Kind of, but when you find out that you are apart of an interstellar cause rather than just a single planet cause that no one really knows about you can see where she might put her priorities.
EbayUserGreen: Galactic enforcers do need some more attention.
Red the Pokemon Master: They're only incompatible with basic human, doesn't mean they're steril.
Gharreth: Yes, Izuku has alien force omnitrix. If he does get a newer omnitrix he will have to meet with Azmuth sooner than later.
Mashot Tito: Glad you're enjoying the story so far! It's been a lot so far, and we're just getting started.
1. Yes, very big change to that arc. We'll see his reaction soon.
2. Spoilers.
3. I plan to resolve it by the camping arc
4. Yes, unless he finally pics up on her feelings and does something first.
5. By the time I finish this story I think I'll be too exhausted to do a side story with them.
6. I haven't planned a specific point but it's towards the end.
7. Naomasa doesn't want Nezu to take control or do anything behind their backs given how unpredictable the Principal can be. Nezu might even try to either A) take over the aliens. B) Open back up Earth's space programs and reach out to the stars getting unwanted attention. C) Make his own secret alien army.
8. Eventually, but remember most of the hybrids are still teens and probably don't care yet about having kids.
9. Most don't need it, and it will take away from their unique quirks too. But there's lots of demand for it so I might do just a couple more and see how people react.
10. Upgrade, I always wanted to have some tech powers or even merge myself with a car and be a transformer. Not to mention how versatile his powers are from what we've seen of Ship turning into vehicles, becoming a battle suit, and so much more. Also, the not often looked at part of Upgrade being able to enter video games and live inside of them is such an underutilized feature. I could enter any video game, merge the tech with me, come back to the real world and maybe even enter shows if it can work like that.
Whywouldidothat2230: I agree, plus it's never been shown that Atomix can make matter like that. Yes he can make a star which probably has simple elements in it for the fusion reaction but it hasn't been explained in depth enough for us to come to a conclusion where Atomix could do something like that.
Puppy Leaf Owned: You have no idea how close we are to that meeting.
Guest: Mina is still out of the alien loop right now.
Felipe: True, but he won't have to worry about that until he's around graduation.
phantomkage: The first one.
BigTop: No plans for commercial aliens, only those seen in the show.
