Heroes Never Die It's Hero Time

by Guardian-Sigil

One would think that in a world where everyday people possess impossible abilities nothing would really be a surprise. Izuku Midoriya, who upon the age of four was diagnosed as quirkless, was denied of his dream of become a hero that can save everyone with a smile. But fate gives him a chance; allowing him access not to one but a universe of powers and abilities.

89. Ch:82 Irruption

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! Since you've all been good this year I figured I'd give you a new chapter as a present. It's not exactly full of merry and cheer, nor does it have gumdrops and sugar canes, but it is fun like a Home Alone movie.

It finally begins, we all finally get to see the start of The Negative Nine vs. the Plumbers! Hope you're ready because it's Naughty vs. Nice!

Trembling. Everything feels like it's trembling. But is that just her unsettling nerves growing more and more intense as they approach impending doom? No. It's the spacecraft, The Plus Ultra, its entire haul shakes and trembles violently whenever it breaks through another layer of the atmosphere. Not like she can confirm this thanks to the sealed-up bay doors and the lack of windows the large and darkened hanger provides.

It's so cold too, so much her knuckles are turning white. But is that also nerves or is that because of just the sub-zero temperatures of space? Again, she is not sure and doesn't want to think about the possibility of a leak.

Either way, one way or another, Ochaco Uraraka cannot get her heart rate to calm. So much so she is kinda jealous of just how calm the others are, especially her teachers.

"These suits aren't exactly slimming." Midnight comments as she inspects her white armored Plumber suit, which like Momo's it leaves much of the black under armor exposed.

"They're not supposed to be." Eraserhead chides. "They're meant to protect us from the vacuum of space." He says that but he still ditches the chest plate of his suit in favor of staying more limber and flexible. Although Thirteen did clarify that the under armor is specialized to survive the vacuum of space for a minimum amount of time.

"Space. Ha! Still wrapping my head around this one!" Present Mic all but shouts and yells excitedly. And he too is wearing white Plumber armor. "But come on! This is rocking! Oh, I should have a segment on my show just for those rocking aliens we met! I'd bet they'd love it!"

"This all has me nervous." Snipe comments before giving his Needler gun a spin in his hand like it were a 6-shooter. "But then again it does seem to have its perks." Even with his cowboy hat and mask he still looks cool in that Plumber armor.

The other teachers like Vlad King, Cementoss, Power Loader, and Ectoplasm seem to be of the same mind as they each inspect their weapons and gear one last time.

"They're right." Eijiro Kirishima A.K.A. Red Riot is grinning like an idiot and looking very macho in his matching red Plumber suit. The giant high tech warhammer over his shoulder also boosts just how manly he's looking right now too. "I can hardly believe it either. For real, man."

"But it is." Shoto Todoroki once again inspects his red suit, noting the temperature regulation capabilities within it. "It's all real."

"It's so exciting yet scary all at once!" Mina Ashido A.K.A. Pinky slides over with Deku's Hoverboard folded up and locked against the red Plumber suit's belt.

"Yes, it is." Momo Yaoyorozu A.K.A. Creati nervously yet calmly agrees, making sure that her shrunken Zircon sword is locked in place against her thigh. "I just hope we're ready for this."

"We're more than prepared!" Tenya Iida A.K.A. Ingenium races over to the squad, his armor fitting him so perfectly it's almost an entirely red version of his regular hero suit and it even comes with its own helmet that's similar to his own.

He slides to a halt, his Engines humming in anticipation. "I'm positive this plan will go off without a hitch! However! We must remain sharp and vigilant at all costs!"

Shoto agrees. "I hope you're right."

"Glasses has the right idea! So, don't start slacking now or you'll have to deal with me you damn extras!"

Everyone stops chatting and looks over to find a red armored Katsuki Bakugou stomping across the hanger. His Grenade Gauntlets clash with the red armor but he doesn't care about that shit. And then strapped across his belt and bandolier is a collection of blue spheres, most likely a weapon he snatched up from the armory.

"We're gonna fucking murder everyone in that flying saucer!" He grins maniacally, almost too excitedly.

So much so that maybe everyone else has a reason to be a little bit concerned.

However, one person sees it a little differently. Finding it encouraging rather than not. So much so that she finally leaves the corner and steps forward to join the warmth of her friends. "If you mean murder their plans, then yeah. We're gonna kill it!"

The teens pause and look over to find Uravity smiling back at them with an expression that's a mix of honest nerves yet sheer determination.

But what really watches their eyes is her new hero costume. It's the same relative design and color scheme as before, however, The belt around her waist has been minimized, no longer having a center. And her headgear no longer has a visible visor and has been split into two parts that sit over her ears with pink extensions sticking up and kinda making them resemble pink bunny ears. And finally, her arm gauntlets have been altered. They are narrower yet longer than before and it seems they have been suited up with wrist pads that are most likely for communications and other purposes. No doubt this suit was made with Plumber tech and materials so there's no doubt that this space suit has some surprises in store.

Pinky lets out an impressed whistle. "Girl! Check you out!"

Uravity blushes and gets all sheepish, not exactly comfortable with all their awed staring. "It's not too much is it?"

"No way~!" Lucy Mann slithers by, her from twirling and swirling until it becomes her standard human form. "I couldn't wear it any better myself." She winks.

"I love the new look!" Pinky reaffirms with a grin.

"As do I." Creati agrees, admiring its material especially. "It's quite lovely."

"It's so you." Lucy winks before a mischievous glint in her eye draws itself towards the boys. "What do you think, boys? Doesn't she look good or what?"

"It is indeed excellent! It is both practical and inspiring!"

"It's very wom-er, manly!"

"It suits you."

"Tsk. Who cares?!"

They all may have given a response and yet none of them can meet her gaze instead they all have their eyes locked up towards the ceiling while also praying that their blushes aren't that obvious in the low light.

Even so, she still appreciates the comments. "Thanks guys. But guess what! This costume was made with space in mind. It's a zero-suit so it should survive the vacuum of space. And my wrist gauntlets have some tricks too! Although I'm still reading the manual." Her belt also has a few spare compartments now too, perfect for storing spare supplies, an important letter, and a special gift.

As the girls, mainly Lucy and Pinky, pester the boys for better answers. And Ingenium requests to see the manual. And Shoto and Bakugou go over some of the red suits' features, they are being watched over by their teachers and allies who take in some warmth from the innocent scene.

"Aw, to be young and naive." Midnight gushes and squirms with a passion.

"Please don't start." Eraserhead deadpans as Present Mic laughs it off.

"Is it really that wise to bring hatchlings into battle?" Xylene questions as she too watches the scene from the other end of the hangar bay. "Especially, into a battle such as this?"

Gran Torino doesn't get up from his seat, instead he sits there with his eyes closed as to rest and mentally prepare for the hardship ahead. "You've seen the girl fight. The others are just as tenacious. I don't doubt any of them for a second."

She smiles, getting nostalgic for the old days. "Like you didn't doubt your student?"

"Still haven't." He finally opens his gaze and gets a far off look across his elderly face. "He's a fighter."

She smiles and stays quiet as they both reminisce.

However, they are far from the only ones drawn into silence. The lone detective, Naomasa Tsukauchi, has secluded himself to the far corner of the hangar. Seated atop a stack of strapped down metal crates and alien supplies. He's not paying attention to anyone or anything but instead there is a faraway look on his face as he stares down at the Phaser gun sitting in between his hands.

"You've been quiet for some time now."

Startled, He nearly jumps, only to visibly relax when he sees that it was only Recovery Girl coming over to greet him.

"How are you feeling, deary?" She asks with a gentle and warm smile.

He debates, for a second, of just telling her that he's fine but… "Honestly, I'm a bit lost and confused. And conflicted… I had my suspicions all this time, and I'm sure Principal Nezu was aware that I was conducting my own investigation as per All Might's request. And yet he did nothing to stop it." Or perhaps he did stop it, by manipulating the situation past his own understanding. "I can't help but feel like I was set up. But then again maybe it was for the best… Whenever I take on a new case I wonder just what kind of dangers we'll find ourselves in. So I half expected that I'd disturb a hornet's nest when I opened this can, however, I never would have guessed that I would have fallen head first into a rabbit hole instead. It's…all a bit much."

Well she can certainly see why he has his hangups, she certainly has them too, however… "That is what conducting an investigation calls for though; finding clues, following leads, and unearthing discoveries." She looks out towards what would have been the results of such an investigation and stares questioningly at the RazorCrest and the alien weapons they're all equipped with. "None of us saw this coming, not a one, certainly not me. But their intent was never ill-will or intended to disrespect us or our trust in them. Instead, we should feel honored that they trusted us with this."

"Why's that?"

"Because they did tell us." She replies with a firm confidence. "It shows that the Principal, Thirteen, those kids, they all value your opinion. They all respect you too much to keep this from you or us any longer."

That may be true but is it really all that? What's the point of including him into the fold? He's not a hero. He's not a space cop? So, why?

"Heroes come in all shapes and sizes." Recovery Girl continues as if senses his innermost worries. "Whatever they're doctors, policemen, or teachers. They understand that each and every one of us will set aside our fears and answer the call of duty. To do what is right. And to help a friend."

Friend…help a friend. That strikes a chord within the detective as he gazes down at the Phaser in his hands. To which his fingers slowly but firmly grip the hilt.

Meanwhile, Shoto is still obsessed with the suit as he continues to examine the technology incorporated into it. "These suits really are something, aren't they?"

Ingenium couldn't agree more as he makes sure that his helmet is locked in place nicely and securely. "Yes, it's impressive that the principal had such adjustable armor at the ready."

"It's only logical we would." Thirteen's voice calls out as they enter the hanger alongside Cinder, Patelliday, and Chopper. "There are millions of different races out there with all sorts of body types and needs. So of course, our armor can be adjusted to suit them all."

"Huh. look at that." Red Riot comments as he Hardens his arm and watches as the armor and zero-suit stretch with it.

Eraserhead hastily makes his way to the front, on edge and alert for any danger. "Thirteen. Is there an emergency? Are we getting close?"

Everyone tenses up, awaiting the Plumber's answer.

"No emergency." Thirteen explains. "No danger. Not yet anyway."

"We came down for a different reason." adds Cinder as he and the other two guide everyone to stand before the sealed bay doors.

"That being?" Ectoplasm asks with a hint of hesitation.

But Thirteen's gentle gaze calms his and everyone else's worries. "There's something Majister Nezu thought you all would like to see."

Patelliday peers down at the astro-mech and gives him permission to do as they discussed. "Chopper, mind doing the honors?"

^Wa-bop!^ With a skip in his step, Chopper wheels over to beside the bay doors where he plugs himself to the ship's mainframe.

Eraserhead watches as the little droid programs away at the circuits, curiously. "What is this about then?"

Thirteen replies with an honest keenness. "We wanted to indoctrinate you all, the right way."

In perfect timing with Thirteen's words Chopper finally unlocks the bay doors, resulting in the hangar doors to shift outward before parting away, breaking their seal between the earthlings and the vacuum of space.

The guests all brace themselves, their hearts skipping a beat, fearing that they might be sucked out but nothing of the sort occurs. Before realizing that there's a transparent electrical field in place between them and opening giant doors.

Once their hearts have begun to beat once more they stop once again but this time not of fear or despair but that of sheer wonderful awe.

As the hangar bay doors part away the heroes and students are greeted by a vast and endless ocean. One that twinkles and glimmers in the dark, the endless darkness is showered in light creating beautiful hues that should be impossible to create. And yet there it is stretching out to the infinity with every star floating freely to their own wonderful destinies.

They are not sure how they felt before. Whether seeing this would hammer in the fact of how alone and small they are. But in this moment, before this beauty, none of that matters. Not their worries. Not their fears. Only their hopes and dreams light up before them. For if the universe as beautiful and vast existence then so too can their own ambitions.

At least that is Uravity's thoughts and emotions, it's a wonderful feeling one that she can drift away into forever. But a glimmer, a speck of red fading in and out beside the glowing moon catches her eye. That red sinister dot flickers in and out, ruining the beautiful canvas.

A sense of dread and nervousness well up in her throat at the sight of it.

"That's where we're headed." Cinder strides up beside her, his stern gaze locked onto the red speck as well. "That's where they're holding Izuku and All Might."

Uravity's body tenses, her fists tightening, and One For All sparks across her arms.

Watching as two of his mentees' expressions turn grim and sour, Gran Torino let's out a sigh in exasperation. "Such serious looks on your faces. You two need to learn to smile more."

Cinder gives him a look asking if he's actually serious about that. "Why would we smile at a time like this?"

The question only causes the old man to chuckle. "In the words of a friend, it's to show everyone that everything's gonna be okay."

A sense of familiarity strikes Uravity's memory, she can almost hear All Might saying something similar to that. And it does bring a smile to her face. "It will be okay." She affirms, turning her smiling gaze to her awestricken friends and teachers. "Nothing's impossible, not when we have each other's backs. We might be training to become heroes but today, right now that's what we are."

Pride and excitement well up in her friends who all grin back in eager yet nervous anticipation.

To which Uravity's grin stretches further. "And as another friend would say-"

Punching her fist into the air everyone joins in to shout out. "IT'S HERO TIME!"

Ch.82 Irruption

Magister Nezu watches the wonderful view from the command center of The Plus Ultra, standing at its front just before the massive windows leaving him just inches from the stars outside. Meanwhile, One-One is locked into place of his usual command posting but this time acting as the ship's main and only pilot. And a graceful one at that as they float amongst the stars.

"These systems are incredible!" But of course, they are not alone up here. Which is proven true with Power Loader leaning over his monitor with a gaping jaw. "We have to incorporate them into U.A.'s system first thing when we get back! This will greatly improve our own security measures and then some!"

Seated beside him is Vlad King, who certainly doesn't share his colleague's enthusiasm. "I'm still not so sure. These weapons systems are a little complicated." He adds while fiddling with his own monitor and console.

Across from them both sits Cementoss who's looking over and familiarizing himself with the ship's radar ad systems. "Better learn fast. We don't have much time."

"There never is." Nezu all but whispers to himself, however, the others catch it and they all go stiff at the implication. "I am sorry I kept this from you all." Nezu starts, addressing them while he continues to stare out at his own reflection. "But I hope you understand my reasons."

"I understand why." Vlad King starts. "But I won't lie and say I have my hang ups about this."

A pregnant silence fills the command center as his words sink in for Nezu who can acknowledge that he will have to address his and everyone else's concerns at another time.

And thankfully Vlad King understands this as well. "But right now isn't the time for trivial whining. Now's the time for action."

Nezu greatly appreciates the patience and the focus. He has truly assembled the best for his school. "Thank you. And you are right. Time is not on our side, however, I have complete faith in each and every one of you." he then turns to address the tiny droid that's inserted into the ship's main command console. "One-One."

One-One spins in his port with Glad-One being the side of him to respond first. ^Yes, Magister, sir?^

Sad-One then chides. ^Can't you see I'm busy?^

"Please message the others, let them know that we will be making our approach."

^Okey-dokey! We'll get on it like we're cherry on a pie!^

^I hate pie, it's because my sensors can sense taste.^

Glad-One activates the speaker systems and begins his announcement all throughout the ship. ^Excuse me passengers this is your Conductor One-^

^-One.^

^And I wanted to inform you all that we'll be approaching the wicked kraken's ship very soon. Hooray! I'm so excited that I'm shaking!^

^That's the fear setting in.^

---

Glad-One's voice rings through the hanger, snapping the heroes' attention away from the view. [^Please board your assigned spacecrafts and prepare yourself for the excitement ahead.^]

[^I suggest preparing by writing a last will and testament.^]

Taking that as a direct order, Xylene gives a salute as she alone heads to her ship. "Take care Sorahiko, I wish you honor and glory in this battle."

Gran Torino acknowledges her back. "Thanks, you take care out there."

She smirks, taking that as a joke. "You should be praying for my enemies."

He smirks back.

"This is real. This is really happening." Tsukauchi locks the Phaser into his holster that should be for a normal gun. "This is it."

"It is." Thirteen confirms as they stand before the ramp leading into the RazorCrest.

"Seems too much for me… I'm just a cop."

"You're a detective." Thirteen firmly corrects. "And a good one at that. One that we all trust. One that All Might trusts. And now we're asking you to trust us."

Tsukauchi pauses his mind recalling Recovery Girl's own words of encouragement. '"They all respect you too much to keep this from you or us any longer. They understand that each and every one of us will set aside our fears and answer the call of duty. To do what is right. And to help a friend."'

"Then I'll trust you to get me there." And with less hesitation in his step, Tsukauchi begins to climb the ramp followed by others that are just as determined like Snipe, Ectoplasm, and Lucy Mann.

Although some more ecstatic about the sci fi elements if anything like present Mic who's geeking out as he takes in everything inside the RazorCrest. "This is so cool! HAHA!"

"Mic, keep your voice down!" Midnight scolds. "I don't want to be sucked into space."

"Oh don't worry." Patelliday waves off the concern as he enters the craft alongside Chopper. "These crafts are the perfect cultivation of engineering and science. This is not some old jalopy your grandfathers used to drive."

Thirteen enters last but not before throwing the kids and the others an encouraging thumbs up.

A grin, a genuine excited grin, is stretching so far across Bakugou's face that the others are afraid it's going to rip his cheek apart. But then again, who can blame him for being so excited? "That's fucking cool." He admits while admiring the RazorCrest's shining frame and build.

Cinder chuckles, sliding up next to him while folding his arms up in pride. "I know, right? She's a beauty."

Bakugou is about to agree before realizing that Cinder is not talking about the ship. Following his gaze he realizes that the old man I was referring to the literal rust bucket of an RV! "WHY'S THIS EVEN HERE!?"

He's not the only one wondering this, so too is Red Riot. "Um, dude? Why did you bring your RV along?"

The smirk on the Plumber's face couldn't get more alarming. "Why? Well. Because that's our ride."

It takes a second for each of the kids to register his words, but eventually…- "WHAT!?"

Even Uravity's flabbergasted. "We're taking the Rustbucket?!"

"Well, we all can't fit on the RazorCrest." Cinder explains as if it were obvious. "And don't worry, I'll drive." With a wink he flips up his keys and gives the automatic starter a press, causing the RV to beep several times before unlocking.

"That's not my concern!" Uravity screams.

However, Shoto is more concerned with another thought. "Wait, if you're driving that thing then who's flying the-"He peers up and his heart stops when he sees Chopper waving back at him through the cockpit of the RazorCrest.

Pinky winces and lets out a low hiss. "Yeah, I'm not so sure about this carpool, guys."

From the cockpit Thirteen shoves Chopper down from view and takes the driver seat instead but even so the kids are still nervous as they step into the rickety earth vehicle.

Recovery Girl stands beside the door, wishing to see them all off before they go. "Good luck to all of you. Be safe and don't get hurt out there or you'll have to deal with me when you get back!"

She watches the kids enter one by one starting with Uravity, Bakugou, Pinky, Shoto, Red Riot. Creati, and then Ingenium. After they're in she gives Blukic and Driba a boost with her cane so they can climb inside before Gran Torino hobbles his way in next while Cinder hops through the driver door and into his seat.

But the final person to enter is the one that throws her off the most. "Eraserhead, you're tagging along in here too?"

"Of course." Eraserhead calmly but stoically admits. "These are my students, can't be leaving them unsupervised not even for a second."

She nods in approval with a soft understanding smile. "You really are a softy deep down. Aren't ya?"

She doesn't expect an answer, but it does give her confidence that these children, these young heroes, will be well looked over. Hopefully their fates are sealed just as tightly as the door as it closes shut.

The kids weren't too sure what they would find inside the Rustbucket but they kinda expected something…nicer. In a word it's…tacky. And old. The carpet that was once red and orange is worn out and faded. The leather seats are no longer soft and firm but thin and sunken. And all the appliances look several decades out of date. All in all, the only thing special about the RV is wondering exactly how it's managed to stay running after all these decades.

"So, how is this supposed to work?" asks Red Riot, looking around as if thinking it's all hidden under some kind of hologram. "I bet this baby is gonna transform into a haunting spaceship, right? Right?! With awesome laser guns and missiles!"

Blukic and Driba start, questioning the red head's inquiries.

"Transform?" Driba questions.

Driba sadly shakes his head. "How simple minded. Can't these earthlings identify their own engineering when it's right in front of them?"

"Sad, ain't it?"

Ignoring them both, Cinder goes ahead and addresses Red Riot's concern. "This old girl has class. She doesn't need anything that fancy."

Ingenium can only defend the Plumber's authority for so long but this is really pushing it. "So, how pray tell, are we supposed to get over there?!"

Cinder chuffs. "Easy. We're hitching a ride."

He times it perfectly, from outside the windows they can see the RazorCrest rising off the hanger floor. Amazingly it hovers gracefully just feet off the floor without having to speed forward or have the engines roar to the point their ears pop. But even more amazing is how delicately it hovers over the Rustbucket and with a spark and snap the RV is hoisted right off the ground and locked magnetically in place to the RazorCrest's underside.

^Ba-Ba-Bwa!^ Chopper announces that they're secured.

Although it's kinda cool, Bakugou finds it more annoying than anything else. "We're fucking cargo?!"

"Yeah, you get it." Cinder confirms.

That seems to make them more nervous. And so they each take a seat, hoping that something firm might at least let them brace themselves. Pinky, Red Riot, Creati, and Ingenium take the seats around the table while Shoto and Bakugou hang back by the bunks. Uravity and Eraserhead stay standing but hold tight to whatever they can as Gran Torino remains seated in shotgun as a grinning Cinder grips the wheel.

They're ready.

They all watch from inside the hanger as the Plus Ultra flies closer and closer to the moon, using it as cover before they reveal themselves to the enemy ship. And as they approach one final speech echoes for all to hear.

["Everyone."] Magister Nezu announces through the RV's radio and RazorCrest's holophone. ["The moment of truth. Often depicted as a momentous occasion, romanticized as the defining moment that one's true character is revealed. Whether that moment is now or in the future I am uncertain. However, what I am certain of is that we cannot fail. Not just for our own sake. Or for our home. But for those that are counting on us to save them. On those calling upon for a hero to save them. That is the moment, this is our moment. So go forth! Go forth and show these villains just what Earth's Mightiest Heroes have to offer!"]

---

Said villains have already begun to move although their own patience is far greater than the heroes' own.

The battle arena's walls have been projecting the image of the Plumber's Command Ship for some time now. Even as they pull behind the moon they are still quite aware of their position. They will be upon them soon.

And so not wanting to waste time Vilgax had sent Ragnarok away with the locked away Omnitrix and Charlotte Project for safe keeping. Psyphon too has left to personally oversee the command center.

Leaving Vilgax and the rest of his Negative Nine to watch with great anticipation.

"What should we do with these two?" asks the smirking Sunder. "I mean it's not like they're much of a threat anymore."

Rojo scoffs in response. "We got ourselves a withered old man and a powerless runt right here."

They are of course referring to the trembling and powerless Izuku Midoriya and Toshinori Yagi.

"They…are no longer of any use to anybody." Vilgax exposes his back to the two weak humans without any hint of worry. "Keep them locked away in here and post a squadron of drones to oversee them." He lifts his gaze once again to the display of the Plumber ship before declaring. "Let them watch as their comrades' corpses float away into the abyss."

"You son of a BITCH!" Kraab spouts while trying and failing to slip through Nue's claws.

Vilgax's gaze glows red once again but they soon dim away, figuring that this pest is beneath him. "And send that traitorous piece of filth where it belongs."

"I nwok xacelyt heerw uyo lognbe." Even with his helmet on, everyone can tell that SevenSeven is smiling underneath it as he snatches the struggling Kraab from Nue's grip. "Nad os odes nya trSa arWs nfa."

Izuku weakly but desperately reaches for his friend but not even his legs bother to move at his command. And he's left watching as SevenSeven's claws dig into Kraab's plating.

Meanwhile, Vilgax doesn't even bother to give the boy a second glance.

With a sniff and a swipe at his tearing face Izuku can do nothing but choke and sob. "You're…you're a…"

"A monster? A villain? I am much more than any of that." He finally acknowledges the boy only to glorify his own existence. "I am Vilgax the Conqueror! And once I have destroyed the last of the resistance Earth has to offer, your planet and all its potential will be mine! Hahahahaha!"

That terrible laughter will haunt their nightmares for years to come. But then again will they have that long? Both Izuku and Toshinori are left to wonder as they watch as their friends and the last of their hope slowly rises towards the never-ending void.

"Do not hold back! Launch ALL FIGHTERS! Let their blood shower their planet like rain!"

---

Bakugou lets out a sharp tsk, even though the enemy craft isn't in sight yet nor the fact that they haven't launched their own ships yet, he's already acting like the fight is nothing. "This loser needed criminals to do his job for him. So, how tough can this shitbag actually be?!"

With the RazorCrest and Rustbucket still safely tucked away in the hanger, The Plus Ultra finally rounds the moon's orbit and there Vilgax's ship appears.

The Chimeran Hammer is massive, far bigger then any of them expected, looking like it can fit an entire city inside. Its armor, dark and that of copper but stronger then any steel known to man. Alien in design, seemingly inefficient yet terrifying with its blood red cores and panels left exposed as if a warning to those that would dare challenge such a bloodthirsty beast. Its fangs of red plasma strike like lightning between its protruding jaws that threaten to slice any ship within reach into two. It's a menacing visual, one that shakes them to their core.

And Bakugou says it best. "Oh…shit."

"Hey! Something's happening." Red Riot spots what he thinks are hanger doors on the massive ship opening.

Pinky panics, growing scared. "Are they firing at us?!"

["Get ready!"] Thirteen calls from their individual com sets that are built into the wrist pads of their armor. ["Brace yourselves! Chopper's picking up on incoming fighters!"]

Activating her com, Creati asks back. "How many do they have?!"

"Who cares?!" Bakugou huffs. "They're gonna need all of them to take us out!"

From the hangar bays what appears to be a massive swarm of red emerges. Like hornets attacking an invader the swarms of red race through the void without any fear of death or remorse.

The scarlet Vulture Droids whirl and buzz, their metallic frames just barely grazing each other as their laser guns charge and prepare to let loose.

"I think that's the problem!" Uravity cries out just before the massive swarm overtakes the entire Plumber Base Ship!

Like hornets the Vultures shower the entire ship in a rain of red lasers! They fire and fire while racing through the void and blinding speeds. Like a wave of red and metal they're never ending and ever swarming!

---

"Shields holding at 100%!" Cementoss lets out a sharp gasp as the number changes on his screen. "Now 99%! 98%!"

"Nezu, sir!" Vlad King calls out with sweat dripping from his brow. "We're sitting ducks out here! They'll chip away at us until there's nothing left!"

"Do not wait on my account!" The Magister responds. "Let's show these invaders what kind of fire power we're equipped with!"

One-One takes the hint and activates the necessary program. ^Weapons systems activated.^

Vlad King's monitor flights up as the keypad transforms and shifts into a set of handles and levers.

^Targeting systems operational.^

^Ion levels fully charged.^

^Safety protocols offline.^

^Happy hunting.^

Vlad King gives a sharp toothed grin before he takes the handles and presses down on the twin triggers!

Azure lasers from every side of The Plus Ultra shower across the blackness into the swarm creating a brilliant lightshow of red and blue accompanied by a symphony of explosions and ripping metal.

---

"Check out the fireworks!" Present Mic woods and whistles, grateful that that electrical field is still in place between the Vultures and the RazorCrest.

Midnight, Snipe, and Ectoplasm are not so amazed by the show but instead growing weary by the seemingly never-ending assault.

Detective Tsukauchi braces himself against the wall. "Can the ship handle this much incoming fire?!"

"Yes." Thirteen responds with a cool calmness from the pilot's seat. "Those are Vulture Droids, they're fast but not that powerful. They are designed to swarm and overwhelm."

"But what about that battleship?" asks Midnight. "Won't it fire?"

"Not while their fighters are surrounding us." Patelliday explains. "That would be a poor use of resources if they did."

"So, the U.F.O.s out there are our shields?!" Tsukauchi's not so sure if that makes him feel any better.

---

"Yes." Magister Nezu responds after hearing a very similar questions from his own crew. "One-One will pilot the ship and try to close the gap as much as we can before we launch our agents. Mr. Cementoss you are in charge of monitoring our shields while Power Loader is in charge of our power and systems. Meanwhile, I will oversee command allowing Vlad King to focus on depleting their numbers." He turns, gazing back out at the whirling swarm of red and metal. "We will push this command ship to the limit and that's when we will launch our attack."

That's all good but there's one detail the magister overlooked. "But how are two ships supposed to make it through all that?" asks Power Loader.

---

"Xylene will clear the path." answers Cinder. "Her ship is faster and more powerful; she will provide us cover as we fly."

"We're heading right for the enemy's hangers." Gran Torino adds. "Once we're in we'll clear the evacuation zone and claim it for ourselves. We'll then break into our predesignated teams and commence with the divide and conquer."

The entire command ship rumbles and shakes violently as a layer of the shields breaks down.

"If we make it that is!" Uravity cries as they all brace themselves against the shaking.

---

Izuku and Toshinori can't look away from the projections, it's terrifying the massive ship is being swarmed, it's like watching feeding frenzy of piranhas onto a single slab of meat! And yet the cascade of lasers deflect off the ship's surface with only a few managing to break through and scorch the armor.

"It's holding." Izuku comments. "T-their ship is holding. I-I don't think it's taking any damage."

"It's not?" Not even a bit of relief that brings can get Toshinori's heart to calm down.

"No, it is not." Vilgax too has come to the same conclusion. "The Plus Ultra. I have never heard of such a vessel. Most likely it has never been seen combat until now. Well then, let's test its steel, shall we?!" With a flourish Vilgax roars out across the ship and into Psyphon's awaiting ears. "Ideon Cannon!"

---

From the command center, Psyphon grins maliciously as he prepares the weapon. As he does the ship's massive protruding jaws ignite with an internal fire! The fangs of red lightning grow chaotic and convulse at the center of the ship's bow.

---

Power Loader lets out a sharp gasp. "Principal Nezu, sir! The enemy ship! Something's happening! An astronomical amount of power has been diverted to its front!"

"What are they doing?!" shouts Vlad King.

"Sacrificing their pawns!" Magister Nezu all but screams. "Quickly! One-One! Evasive maneuvers! We cannot be caught in the blast!"

Just as One-One begins to maneuver the ship down and away. Discharges burning red plasma collect and accumulate from between the Chimeran Hammer's jaws like a star of blood red fury.

And then as the star couldn't grow any bigger without melting the haul, it compacts, shrinking to a fraction of the size. And as all sound vanishes a devastating BOOM erupts forth a burning beam of scarlet races across the void, bathing it red!

Nezu and the others barely have time to brace themselves as the Beam just barely skims past the ship's rear. While also taking out a significant portion of the enemy's own forces!

Even though it wasn't a direct hit, the sheer power and force of the beam rattles the entire ship causing every screw, weld, and circuit to shake and tremble.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Everyone is holding on for dear life as RazorCrest and RV shift and shake. Eraserhead tries his best to cover the kids with his body as Shoto and Bakugou and Uravity brace themselves against the Rustbucket's walls. Unfortunately, this leaves Blukic and Driba bouncing around the air in suspended motion.

Even the teachers are knocked off their feet.

But mercifully the beam fades away, vanishing into the bleeding stars.

Meanwhile, Cementoss was gripping his monitor so hard the screen cracked but thankfully it still operating. "Shields! Shields drops to 78%!" That was a drastic drop, just what was that beam?!

^Thankfully it seems we avoided most of the damage.^ One-One comments but somehow even this little droid looks like he's sweating.

"But we can't take a hit like that!" says Power Loader. "Just one blast might be the end of this ship!"

"Principal!" Vlad King calls. "What do we do now?!"

The Magister is unsure of what to do. He is sure of what will occur. "We cannot afford to get any closer. Doing so will only leave us open to more attacks from their fighters and gunners. Any closer and we also hinder our chances at evading that beam, we can move much faster from out here!"

"So, what do we do?" Vlad King repeats.

He's thinking! He is! And maybe…he knows exactly what to do.

---

"It missed!" Izuku cheers, tears pricking at his eyes. He was so scared but they're okay and the swarm of red isn't as big as before.

"They're alive." Toshinori sighs, allowing himself, for a moment, to feel hope.

"That should have finished them." Vilgax admits although he doesn't seem all too upset. As if ending the hunt now wouldn't have been enough sport for him. Although he is still furious with the lack of efficiency. "That charge has been stockpiling for months and it missed." He could twist Psyphon's head off for that. However, there will be more opportunities. "The Ideon Cannon will take time to recharge. But when it does, your friends will be nothing but a fleeting memory!"

---

"What was that?!" Pinky screams.

"Is anybody hurt?!" asks Ingenium.

"Are we hit?!" Shoto leans against the nearest window, looking for any signs of damage. "What's going on?!"

["We have encountered an unforeseen obstacle."] Nezu announces through all their coms. ["The enemy ship possesses a plasma cannon! One strike and the Plus Ultra is no more. We cannot hope to bring the ship any closer until it is disabled!"]

Blukic lets out a sharp gasp. "A Ideon Cannon?!"

"That's illegal in five galaxies!" Driba explains.

"Six actually." Blukic corrects.

The Magister continues with his explanation. ["Another team will need to separate and disable the cannon immediately or we cannot hope to assist you."]

Cinder pounds his fist into the dashboard. "Dammit! Already the plan's getting turned on its head."

"It's too early for that!" Uravity shouts, determined not to let this one hiccup get in their way.

["Nezu! Sir!"] Thirteen calls through the com system. ["How should we proceed?"]

["It's now or never."] The Magister responds with steadfast resolve. ["That beam needs time to recharge and that last blast took out a portion of their own forces. If we are to succeed the time to act- IS NOW!"]

Their orders are clear. Their objective is obvious. And their resolve is unshaking. As the RazorCrest's and Xylene's ship's engines roar like beasts locked in a cage, ready to be let out to hunt. Even the Rustbucket unleashes a resounding roar of the engine, a rumbling of a beast that's bound for revenge.

"Well, you all heard the rodent." Cinder grips the wheel before peering out his window and over at Xylene's hovering spacecraft. "Lady's first."

They can almost hear Xylene's smirk from over the radio. ["With pleasure!"]

Her ship, elegant and strong, rockets up and out of the hanger with such ferocity it rocks the RazorCrest and the attached Rustbucket.

And into the fray she dives, charging right into the cascade of red Vulture Droids. She open fires, demolishing and vaporizing squadrons upon squadrons of droids within seconds, leaving behind a cacophony of dazzling fireworks.

Now with a path open, she screams. ["Move now!"]

"Right behind you!" With Thirteen at the helm, the RazorCrest and its added cargo take off without a second of hesitation. Taking them all into the burning unknown, together!

Almost immediately there are swarmed flashes of red and metal whiz past like angry hornets from every angle. Racing past them all at such breakneck speeds. Cascades of laser fire shower down from all directions, some hitting but most missing but still just as terrifying. Like a rollercoaster the teens and heroes can do nothing but ride it out while their senses are being overloaded;. Explosions and shockwaves rattle the ships from the outside as Chopper and Xylene fire back at their ravenous attackers. Vlad King provides as much cover as he can, causing blasts of azure to implode just meters away from his allies. Thirteen the ship, diving and climbing and spinning so much that they lose track of which way is up. But no matter how far they race with every turn with every blast of an enemy their numbers never seem to decrease. They never seem to get closer. As the swarm of scarlet continues to descend upon them. And yet the two ships race on through the storm of havoc and chaos! And into the eye itself!

---

"That ship…" Izuku recognizes it, even through the explosions and sea of red he can make it out even from here.

And so too can Vilgax as the two both cry out in unison. "The RazorCrest!/THE RAZORCREST!"

"Oh, and the…Rustbucket? W-WHY!?"

"So, that is their game." Vilgax's whole form is shaking but from rage or anticipation is any one's guess. "All fighters forget the carrier and intercept those ships' paths! Do not let them through!"

---

From above the moon's orbit, the swarming droids back off and race away from the Plus Ultra as well as its two ally ships. And instead race back towards their point of origin.

A move that Creati is quick to notice and point out. "They're not attacking?!"

"Look!" Pinky points. "They're forming a barricade!"

They are. The droids. The vultures. They're swarmed together, forming an ever moving barricade that stretches so far beyond them that none of them can even see the Chimeran Hammer anymore. They have successfully blocked their path!

---

Nezu has noticed the move too, however, and is quick to respond. "Quickly! Concentrate all firepower on the blockade!"

"Sir!" Vlad King roars and unleashes all the firepower this ship has upon the moving wall.

---

As azure lasers fly past their ships and implode against the barricade, so too do the RazorCrest and Xylene's ship join in and fire upon it. They fire and fire and fire but the barricade, the swarm, it never seems to shrink. The enemy's formation is flawless!

["It's not enough!"] Thirteen cries as they race closer and closer. ["At this rate they'll win!"]

Ingenium is astounded by the show of sheer precision and strength. "It's like they know exactly what our plans are!"

"It's because we're too predictable!" Bakugou shouts back from the rear of the RV.

His response was so unprecedented yet astounding, it gives the likes of Uravity, Shoto, and even Eraserhead pause.

"We need to throw them off their game and into ours!" He explains with a burning rage. "We need an ace! A wildcard! Something that these assholes won't ever see coming!"

"A wild card, huh?" Cinder has an idea, a scheming, but wonderful idea. "Chopper."

[^Bop.^]

"It's time."

[^Bobopopop!^]

---

Chopper seems really excited about something because he's practically hopping in place in the already cramped cockpit. And then he does the unthinkable, through the port he forgets about the weapons system and hijacks the controls of the RazorCrest for himself.

Thirteen notices right away when the handles stop responding. "Chopper! What do you think you're doing?! Have you lost it?!"

^Ba-wo! Wop! Wawawawawa!^ Chopper all but laughs as the RazorCrest suddenly rockets towards the barricade, throwing everyone back and off their feet.

"I knew it! I knew it!" Present Mic screams while buried underneath Midnight and Snipe. "I knew A.I. would eventually kill us all!"

---

"Time for what?!" Pinky screams, she was nearly thrown out of her seat from how fast Chopper hit the thrusters. "Just what are you planning, you psycho?!"

Even Gran Torino has to agree with the statement. That thrust nearly threw out his back. But before he can question his student he spots the cocky grin on his face, the same one he had when he first arrived at his agency all those years ago.

"I'm planning- to do something really STUPID!" With a few clicks at the radio's buttons and switches the entire Rustbucket undergoes a change.

Although they can't see it, the wheels fold away and the antennas too. Revealing a number of rocket thrusters. Wings project out from the rear lights acting as extra stabilization as a metallic shield unfolds and covers up all windows, using just a hologram to reveal their front. And the grill of the RV shifts and protrudes outward, becoming wider with metal extensions with an infused ray shield that turns the armored grill into an electric battering ram!

Red Riot can't believe his eyes, this is insane! "I thought you said this thing can't fly?!"

"It can't." Cinder smirks before calling up his partner in crime. "Chopper on my mark, release the locks and follow me!"

[^Be-wa!^]

"Release the locks?!" Eraserhead does a double take. "Just what are you planning?!"

"You'll see! Chopper punch it!"

[^Woooooooo!^]

Under Chopper's command the RazorCrest races forth, outpacing Xylene's own ship, much to her dismay.

"What is that fool up to?!" Xylene screams, unable to process just what he's thinking.

Even Vilgax and the Negative Nine are confused. Just what is this earthling planning?! He must want them all to die.

But Nezu knows, he trusts his staff, and so he's the only one smiling on as his teachers and friends watch on in frozen horror.

"It's time for-" On Cinder's cue, Chopper releases the magnetic locks on the RV, throwing it forward with all its momentum. "THE MIDORIYA SPECIAL!" With a push of the lever and a shift of his gears the rocket boosters roar like thunder, thrusting the RV through the stars like a laser beam!

And like a laser the Rustbucket pierces the barricade, racing through it without any hindrance the unfortunate vultures in its way are repealed off the electrified battering ram. Repelling them away like bugs on a windshield!

The enemy drones try to blast out of the sky but with such speed and force their attacks miss, striking their allies or are bounced right back, causing a chain of explosions across their ranks!

"This is insane! You've lost it!" Shoto screams watching in terror as hundreds of droids whiz past just inches away from the RV's frame.

"Mad! You're completely mad!" Ingenium cries out.

Gran Torino is so tense his knuckles are turning white against the arm rests. "I knew one day one of my old students would get me killed! I just never knew it would be because of two of them!"

Meanwhile, Bakugou is laughing up a storm. "HAHAHAHA! HELL YEAH! NOW THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT! HAHAHAHA!"

Even as she holds onto the fridge's handle for dear life, Uravity can't help but cry. 'He's lost it!'

In a blink of an eye they've broken through to the other side of the barricade with a blaze of fireworks and explosions behind them! Now clear of their one and only obstacle, and with nothing left but the wall of the Chimeran Hammer left before them, Cinder hits the thrusters one last time! Combined with the momentum they've already built up they fire forward and SMASH through the Chimeran Hammer's armor like a rock through paper!

They smash, crash, and bulldoze past layers upon layers of steel, pipes, wires, and circuits. Sparks and shrapnel fly!

"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Everyone is screaming, Blukic and Driba are thrown across the air, and Cinder is a grinning mess as the Rustbucket smashed through each and every wall in their path.

"YES! HAHAHAHA!" Bakugou is laughing like a maniac as the Rustbucket scrapes and smashes against the various layers of foundation. They smash through hallways taking unexpecting Bioids with them! All before they're sucked out into space! And all while Bakugou's laughter echoes through the halls! "HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

With one final SMASH The Rustbucket has crashed its way right into the ship's hanger! Where with a slam of the brakes the RV skids to a screeching, burning halt that nearly tosses them all out of their seats. And with one final whiplash of the vehicle coming to rest do they all catch their breaths.

"YES!" Bakugou cheers, raising his hands over his head as if this was nothing but a trip to Six Flags. "HAHAHAHA! YES! HAHAHAHA!"

Uravity and Shoto have been thrown to the ground, thankfully unhurt. But as they catch their breaths they both share a look of concern about Bakugou. But that concern soon turns into smiles as Uravity comments on their entrance. "Just like All Might."

---

They all felt the crash. The Negative Nine especially even though they're so far away from the crash site.

"That pilot is insane!" Sunder can't take his eyes off the projection. "He just flew them straight to their deaths!"

Nue huffs humorously. "I bet all their guts are squashed."

[Maybe it was empty? A decoy.] suggests Malware.

"So, that was a landing?" asks Rojo.

Izuku blinks in rapid succession, a sense of familiarity rising within him after witnessing such a reckless and stupid move. "The Midoriya Special…"

A frozen Toshinori's ears perk up but he's not sure if he heard him right. "The what?"

---

The Chimeran Hammer's portside hanger is a mess. Flames and rubble have been thrown everywhere, causing the place to fill quickly with smoke. Thankfully no supplies or oxygen has been lost, thanks to the safety ray shield protocols in place, acting as a barrier between the inside of the ship and outer space. A squadron of Hover Drones quickly inspect the damage and make moves to assess the mysterious vehicle that now resides inside their base.

The Rustbucket remains still as the Hover Drones inspect it. The machine seems unalive, quiet and still before suddenly it's all turned on its head!

The door to the Rustbucket is kicked open and like Pandora's Box a legion of monsters are unleashed upon the world!

"DIE!" Bakugou strikes first, blowing up five of the drones all at once!

"RYOU SPHERE!" Uravity is right beside him, launching power spheres with pinpoint accuracy.

"You're in the way!" Shoto is right behind with a wave of ice at his beck and call.

"Remember they are just robots!" Ingenium speeds across the hanger, kicking one drone into another, smashing them both to pieces. "So, there's no need to hold back!"

"You got it! YAAAAH!" Red Riot's Hardening proves effective as he slams his knuckles into the drone's weak frames.

"Take this tin cans!" Pinky's Acid rains down on more of the drones, melting them into puddles.

"Just vile things." The Zircon Blade slices through the remaining drones in seconds, leaving Creati unscathed and unimpressed. "They will not stop us!" _

The teenagers stand together, readying themselves to take on anything as courage blooms within them from just knowing that they each got their backs.

Gran Torino hops out of the passenger door and takes a moment to admire the kids' efficient work. "Impressive work. They move fast and efficiently. You must have been putting them through the wringer, haven't you?" He asks, directing the compliments towards Class 1-A's homeroom teacher.

Eraserhead nods, but he can't take all the credit. "Yeah but I think that right now, they're more highly motivated than ever to succeed."

"Such violence." Driba shutters as he hops out of the door and onto the step and then finally the ground. "Typical of such low intelligent species."

"Too true." agrees Blukic. "But you have to admit, they are effective."

"Too true. Too true."

Cinder's impressed by the kid's quick action but they'll soon have to prove themselves again when he spots movement through the smoke and rubble. "Everyone! Stay alert! More drones are incoming." He rips his folded spear off his belt and with a click his shinning Amenonuhoko pierces the air as he gives it a sharp flourish. "Prepare yourselves!"

"SIR!" They all respond back, like well loyal determined soldiers.

Bakugou especially is ecstatic as Explosions spark between his palms. "This is just like the Entrance Exam! They've got nothing on us!"

From the smoke and flames rises a trio 40 foot drones that loom over the heroes' heads. Their beady bug eyes glowing red with hostility, their claws long and menacing, as sets of rocket launchers protrude from their shoulders, ready to take fire.

Red Riot just gives Bakugou the most exasperated look. "Dude. You have got to stop saying stuff like that."

The Mad Bomber has half a mind to slap him.

"Hold your ground!" Cinder shouts, racing to the lead so that the gigantic drones will target him instead. "We need to secure the area! We can't afford for them to cut us off from our exit! We cannot afford to let a single one of our enemies through. Do you understand me?!"

They do and they're ready. They'll crush these bots. They'll smash these walls. And they will NOT STOP! NOT UNTIL-

^WOOOooo!^

Out from the tunnel they themselves created, the RazorCrest races through and lets off a trio of laser blasts that completely hinder the gigantic droids to melted metal. Their skulls are blasted away, along with a claw or tow and they collapse all to their sides like beaten pinatas.

"Hey-hey! Nice entrance Chop!" Cinder waves.

^Be-wop!^ Chopper waves back from the RazorCrest's cockpit as it comes down and lands beside the Rustbucket.

"Dammit! You didn't save any for me!" Bakugou rages.

From the smoke and flames an entire legion composed of Hover Drones, little red humanoid Bioids, and 3 more of those Gigantic Drones appear. With all their weapons and rath locked onto their reckless intruders.

And immediately everyone turns on the loudmouth blonde. "BAKUGOU!" They all shout, pointing the blame on him.

"What?!" He defends, not understanding how this is anyway on him!

"Stand back!" Eraserhead races forth at the same time the ramp to the RazorCrest slams open. "Let us have a go!"

"YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!" Leaping out from the ship, Present Mic unleashes space shaking sonic boom! The sonic scream demolishes through rows upon rows of drones like a tidal wave, shattering them all!

Which creates the perfect pass for Eraserhead to rush through the center of their ranks. With the S.A.G.E. Gun in hand he focuses on the task at hand unleashes a round of green plasma that blasts apart and through the oncoming Bioids. Ectoplasm follows him into the fray, multiplying into the Plumber's personal clone army with each member equipped with a DC-15S Blaster Carbine! And thus, as they line up and shoot the entire hanger is filled with the burning blue rain of their laser shots!

Midnight weaves her way through the ranks of hover drones, moving swiftly and dancing with the electrified whip with grace and agility. Her swift movement combined with her precision with a whip allows her slice through the enemy, splitting them all apart until they're nothing but cubes.

Bioids and Hover Drones rush in to take her on, but Snipe and Tsukauchi provide her with cover. Snipe's Needler combined with his Homing Quirk one shots each and every Hover Drone. As the Detective's Phaser pierce through each and every Bioid until they're a crumbled mess on the ground.

This leaves nothing but the 3 gigantic droids, that lurch over their destroyed allies as they make a move to smash their foes to pieces.

However, Thirteen intercepts their path and unleashes they're iconic BLACKHOLE! Which sucks them all in, turning them to dust and particles until there's no trace of them left. And with a clink of their gloved finger closing, the enemy has been soundly subdued and beaten much to their students' amazement.

"WOOOOAAAAH!" They all gape. "They're so cool!"

Shoto takes in the precise, clean, destruction, noting just how little damage the heroes actually caused to the rest of the ship despite the large numbers they handled. "They took out all those robots in an instant."

Ingenium couldn't agree more with that assessment. "Yes, especially when we could only take down a few at any time."

"Don't let it get you down." They all turn to see Lucy Mann leading the likes of Patelliday out from the RazorCrest. She too had witnessed the display of action and is just as impressed as the students. However, she is not one to get hung up on the details. "There's a difference in experience here. But don't go thinking you have nothing to contribute."

'She's right." Says Patelliday as he holds up a large barreled rifle, and even though it's made of chrome silver metal, it looks closer to an alien-shotgun if anything. "Just think, they wouldn't have allowed any of you to come unless they didn't have faith in you."

The students take their words to heart, promising themselves that they'll just have to make sure that their faith isn't unfounded.

"Yo! Now this was worth the price of admission! I'm loving this all-inclusive trip to space!" Present Mic is nothing but smiles and glee while surrounded by his and the others' handy work.

"Stay sharp, Mic. Don't get distracted." Eraserhead warns as he cruelly blasts the head off a bisected Bioid that was desperately crawling away.

"I won't! Sheesh!"

Midnight examines her whip and is amazed by its control and deadliness. "These weapons are far more effective than I realized."

"Are they?" Ingenium pauses, and pulls out that tiny tiny blaster Patelliday gave him from before. It can barely fit in his own hand but if those weapons are that powerful then…just what kind of power is this one hiding? He wonders.

"We now have another issue." points out Detective Tsukauchi, keeping his Phaser up and ready. "That cannon needs to disabled too."

"Who do we send?" asks Patelliday while keeping a lookout for any more enemies, but it appears that they've secured the hanger for now.

"I know who." answers Thirteen. "Snipe, Creati, and Ingenium. You three will make your way to the cannon, disable it and then make you're way right back here to our evac-zone."

Creati's startled, already becoming nervous. "U-us?"

"Yes." Thirteen reaffirms confidently as they show Snipe how to pull up the holomap on his wrist communicator. "A smaller group will move faster, and I need to get this device to the Power Core." They gesture towards the large battery-shaped bomb strapped to their side for emphasis. "We can't afford to pull anyone else from the other objectives. We still need to defend this area and break our friends free."

"I see." Ingenium considers the plan, and it certainly does makes sense even if it means their numbers will be limited.

"We'll come too!"

Ingenium snaps out of his thoughts to find Blukic and Driba standing at his feet.

Driba cockily smirks up at the human. "You earthlings would get lost in this battleship without us."

"Yeah!" Blukic chuckles. "And besides we're the only ones that can understand the complexities of alien programming anyway."

"Oh, well, um, I guess this means welcome aboard." Ingenium leans down, presenting the two with his arm like a ramp sot hat they may hop aboard his shoulders.

"Things are going to get hairy." Snipe gives his six shooter and Needler a spin in each hand. "Just make sure you two stick close to me."

Both Ingenium and Creati stand at attention. "Yes, sir!"

"If they're going on their own then that means we'll be a group of three as well." comments Shoto as he looks between himself, Thirteen, and Bakugou. "Then that'll leave us to take out the ship's power core."

Thirteen nods. "Correct."

Bakugou scowls in response. "Then it's a race to the finish then." Good, that'll make things somewhat interesting then.

"Everyone." Cinder spins the Amenonuhoko, he then ignites its ends, adoring them in fire before slamming the spear down like a staff. "This is it!" he announces with a righteous, burning fury. "There's no turning back. No option to retreat. Failure is not an option. Only victory. So…" He looks to each and every one of them and he doesn't find an ounce of hesitation. But even so he still has to ask. "Are. You. Ready?"

One look says it all; they are.

The likes of Red Riot, Present Mic, Midnight, and Ectoplasm hang back to protect the hanger as everyone else rushes for the nearest passageway.

A maniacal smile once again graces Bakugou lips as he laughs and announces for the entire ship to hear. "Show Time, A-Holes!"

---

["Master."] Psyphon calls down from the bridge. ["The drones have reported in, the Plumbers have captured the second hanger and are now infiltrating the rest of the Chimeran Hammer."]

That is a nuisance but not a surprise, if anything it's welcoming news to Vilgax's ears. "An annoyance but perhaps a blessing in disguise. It'll be so much more satisfying to hear their bones snap personally."

He calls out through their own coms so that all members of the Negative Nine, whether they're in the arena or not, can hear his declaration. ["The enemy has infiltrated our territory without fear of extermination. We must show them and all others that will oppose us why we should be feared. Negative Nine proceed to your battle stations! Show these champions of earth why we reign supreme!"]

They got the message loud and clear. It's time to greet their guests. And so every member of the Negative Nine that hadn't left before makes their way for several different ends of the dome. The panels all fold away creating a portal for each of them to exit.

Izuku desperately tries to rise, but his legs give out on him once again and Toshinori is no better. And so, they are forced to watch as the Plus Ultra is continued to be swarmed.

Nue, however, stays behind and watches in glee as the projects shift from the Plus Ultra to reveal the images of the Plumbers and their friends running through the halls of the Chimeran Hammer.

To which the captured duo can feel their hearts drop at the sight of Izuku's classmates and teachers running through the walls beside their alien allies.

Anticipating the chaos that's about to ensue. With a fang filled grin and burning glee, Nue announces out for the entire ship to hear. "Show Time, A-holes!"

---

The Plumbers and their allies are racing against the clock, all 17 of them move as one single unit through the Chimeran Hammer's wide hexagonal halls. Their wrath and determination is proven unstoppable for every squad of drones and Bioids that stumble in their path are left behind as scraps of metal.

"So many robots!" Pinky throws a splash of Acid onto the oncoming Hover Drones, melting them to nothing but puddles of goo. "There's an entire army in here!"

"And then some!" Cinder speeds past, his burning spear having pierced through three of the Bioids like a shishkebab. "They might not be strong, but they're designed to overwhelm and outnumber. As long as we keep our cool and don't let them swarm us we should be fine!"

Patelliday takes cover behind a nearby bolt head that's protruding just enough off the walls to provide some cover. "Hear that! Order and Precision will win us the day." He then takes aim with his laser rifle and fires, shooting off a scatter shot of lasers that blast apart the incoming bots. "So, no showboating!"

Lucy Mann whizzes past, her oozing form like a whip as she splashes onto several of the Bioids, weighing them all down before using her increased mass to swat them together into a ball of wires and scrap.

It's a shared fate of all the bots as they're either frozen, melted, exploded, burned, slashed, kicked, blasted, and pummeled.

And Chopper is happily observing it all, wheeling behind cheerily and without a single care.

^Wa!^ He calls out just as they reach an intersection of 4 hallways, and he projects a hologram of

the Chimeran Hammer's interior.

"Alright this is it." Cinder slides to a stop just as the last of the drones are taken out by Gran Torino's ricocheting kick. "This is where we split up." With the hallways to the hanger at their six o'clock, Cinder points at the hallway on their three o'clock. "This corridor will take us straight to the prison."

Those determined to go stand at attention. Uravity especially tenses up as Pinky, Gran Torino, and Eraserhead take to her sides. Patelliday ensures his rifle is at full charge as Tsukauchi's Phaser hums dangerously.

The Red Plumber then points to the one at their 12 o'clock. "That one will eventually lead to the power core."

Thirteen, Shoto, and Bakugou look ahead as if staring into the jaws of a wild beast.

And finally, he points to the one to their left. "And that one…should take you to the cannon." Snipe pushes up his hat with the Needler as Creati grips her sword and Ingenium activates the Omni-Shield, which startles the cowering Blukic and Driba.

"Good luck everyone," Cinder begins, looking at each of them as if some part of him is afraid that this will be the last time they see each other. "Make sure no matter what, that you'll make it home safe."

Just as the Cannon Disabling Team is about to head out, Uravity calls out to them one last time. "Good luck, Ingenium. Creati."

"Thank you." Ingenium waves, his red armor shining and well fit.

"And good luck to you as well." Creati bows, her Zircon Sword extending to its full length.

Uravity nods back and turns to head out herself when Ingenium calls her back.

"Uraraka."

She stops, peeking back and meeting Iida's blue eyes. "Bring our friend home, please."

She doesn't even hesitate to answer. "I will!"

"You all better come back in one piece!" Bakugou spits out, his back turned to them as he struts towards the center passageway. "If you don't I'll blast you to oblivion."

Uravity smiles and laughs at his threat. "Try not to blow up the ship before we get off it, kay?"

"No promises!"

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him." Shoto promises as he follows Bakugou out.

"And I'll keep an eye on you both." Thirteen gives them both a thumbs up as they wait for the two of them at the entrance. "Let's roll."

And with their initiative, they begin the parting of each individual team.

Lucy pries at one of the many pipes that's lining the steel walls, once she manages to pry one of them loose and expose the center hole she gives everyone a cheery wave and a wink before literally diving into the pipe. "Into the vents I go!" And she vents right in front of them, fast traveling herself to the command center.

Snipe inspects his bullets, making sure each chamber of his six-shooter is ready and fully loaded. "Principal Nezu is counting on us. Ingenium."

The blue-haired teen stands at attention with his arms straight at his sides. "Yes, sir?"

"You take point."

They can sense the grin on Ingenium's face from behind that red helmet. "Yes, sir!"

His Engines roar as he suddenly takes off down the passageway at a breakneck speed!

While the poor Galvans hang on for dear life. "SLOW DOWN!"

But their cries go unanswered as Ingenium leads the way to victory!

And that just leaves the Rescue Team themselves behind.

"Stay alert!" Cinder warns as he takes off down the last hallway. "As the biggest group we're the ones most likely to run into trouble! No doubt Vilgax will send most of his forces after us. So, stay on your guard! And watch each other's backs!"

"This place is a maze." Eraserhead comments as he and the others chase after the Plumber. "How are we supposed to find our way through?"

Cinder points back at Chopper who's managing to keep up with them so far. "Chopper here is mapping out the entire ship and I gave Thirteen and Snipe a holomap that are also acting as extra sensors. Meaning that as we spread out we collectively assemble an entire blueprint of this ship. Also, it helps that I remember the layout from last time I was aboard."

Tsukauchi's ears caught that instantly. "Last time?"

"This isn't the first time I've infiltrated Vilgax's ship." Cinder explains as they race through the hexagonal and pipelined hallway. "It's not even the first time we've clashed! I specialize in infiltration and combat. Meaning I was often sent on solo-missions. Not to mention, I helped to establish resistances against his forces all across the galaxy. So, naturally I'm on his most hated list. I'm sure he predicted our arrival. And is taking the appropriate countermeasures. So be careful! Because to him there is no such thing as going past the line."

Pinky shudders in worry. "Scary."

"We're facing off against an alien overlord." Eraserhead keeps a calm demeanor as he addresses her. "But that's no reason to let your nerves get to you. Keep focused on what you can do for now."

Pinky starts, recalling that those were Grey Matter's words to her back at the camp. It's a shame those were the same words that indirectly led to Midoriya's and Bakugou's capture. But then again she understands what she can do a lot better. She knows what the stakes are. What the situation is. Which means, she can play her part to perfection this time!

She takes the folded up Hoverboard and throws it. It unfurls and activates, floating just off the ground before she jumps aboard and races off, taking the lead for herself!

Unfortunately for her, another squadron of Bioids have taken to block their path. But she's determined to succeed, not slowing down she races up and over their heads, leaving a trail of Acid behind her that rains down onto the bots. And like a horror movie their outer shells are melted away till their metal skeletons are left exposed and sparking.

Not to be outdone the rest of them quickly get in on the action as more and more droids intercept their path.

Cinder's flaming Amenonuhoko is like a burning tornado as he spins it this way and that, slashing and piercing through every obstacle.

Patelliday's, Tsukauchi's, and Eraserhead's firepower rains bolts of blue, orange, and green down on the enemy. With Eraserhead taking his Capture scarf to pull in and kick apart any drones that get too close. Even using the scarf to lasso up some of the Hover Drones and pull them down so Patelliday can deliver a crushing bite or slicing slash.

"There's more!" Tsukauchi calls out, spotting a squad running up to them from behind!

A whir of pink zooms past, and Uravity's entire arm is aglow with might as she races to face this legion alone. "MERCURY SMAAASH!"

One strike, one strike and a blast of wind and the bots are no more. Vanished from sight with nothing but scraps falling away like leaves.

^Wooooo!^ Chopper cheers, impressed yet terrified all at once.

Pinky flies overhead and stops just shy of the Uravity's shoulder. and overhear head. "I'm loving this board! I got to get one for myself! Hm, maybe Christmas?"

Uravity grins up at her, knowing all too well how freeing it feels to fly. "Yeah! It suits you!"

"Midoriya's been carrying this kind of firepower?" Eraserhead questions as he inspects the S.A.G.E. Gun. "Is that really the most responsible thing?"

Cinder stays silent but there's no hiding the shame nor the nervous sweat on his brow.

"We can deal with the morality of it later." says Tsukauchi as he aims his phaser down the hall and fires upon yet another legion of enemies. "We have more incoming!"

"This is taking too long." Gran Torino calmly and coolly hobbles to the front, not a hint of worry or stress to be seen. Like this attack is nothing more than a walk in the park for him. "Allow me."

"What are you-?!" Uravity gasps as Gran Torino reveals the alien weapon he has chosen for himself.

Like a bullet Gran Torino takes to the air, meeting the charging legion of Bioids alone. But his friends have nothing to fear, instead they are left in astonishment as the veteran equips the silver hilt from his side and to his hand. And with a click the hilt ignites, unleashes a dazzling aqua blue energy blade from its top. Combined with his blinding ricocheting, Gran Torino is like a living laser that slices through every bot in a flash of blue and heat. He speeds through them all, sliding to a stop with the blue saber still ablaze. The enemy is left motionless and silent before their frames fall apart, melted, and cut to pieces.

The others are left slack jawed and amazed, when Gran Torino suddenly addresses them.

"What are you all waiting around for?! An invitation?! Get moving already!"

They don't need to be told twice as they race for the finish!

With every legion they smash through. With every Hover Drone they blast out of the air, they race closer and closer to their destination! And soon it's within sight, the finish line. The end of the tunnel. It's right there! Guarded by 2 sentries of 40ft gigantic droids that'll do all they must to stop them from getting through the set of gigantic durasteel gates behind them.

With her body weightless, Uravity's Gyro-Disc is able to propel her forward with incredible ease and speed. Coming up beside her, Pinky and the Hoverboard are able to keep pace and then some.

The two girls share an ecstatic look, their minds melding as one.

"Pinky!" Uravity reaches out her hand to her.

"Uravity!" Pinky reaches and grabs for her hand.

The two clasp and lock together and their flying devices continue to propel them forward. Combined with their momentum the two begin to spin and spin and spin and with every spin they gain more and more speed. As they hold on they stretch their opposite hands out with Uravity's fist a glow with One For All and Pinky's trailing behind a cascade of Acid. Together with their spinning and speed their forms become a rocketing tornado of pink light and acidic wakes. And the two girls cry out in courageous unison. "PINK CAROUSEL!"

The 2 sentries lash out to stop the incoming storm but it's for naught, for not even the iron gate they guard slows them down. They are left shattered and broken beyond recognition before the spiraling pink storm of destruction. Like a drill the strike burrows through the gate in seconds leaving behind a massive pile of melted iron and ore.

And the girls finally unlock their grips, leaving them hovering over the entirety of Vilgax's personal dungeon.

Cinder steps through the nonexistent gate and announces to them all. "Welcome to the cellblock."

Uravity floats down, joining the rest on the ground. "This is where Deku and All Might are being held?" She asks.

"Yes."

"But there's so many cells." observes Pinky as she takes in the rows of rows of laser shielded cell doors. "How do we know which one they're in?"

"We look." answers Eraserhead a-matter-of-factually.

It is the best plan they got so they get right on it with all of them splitting up in order to complete their objective as quickly as possible.

And unfortunately it's not going as smoothly as they'd like, Vilgax is quite the collector apparently. It's a mess of lifeforms of all shapes and colors in this prison, with each level of cells seeming more like framed prizes than anything else. Nothing but trophies and reminders of his own conquests.

As Tsukauchi covers the exit, Gran Torino zips himself up and through the air, quickly reaching the third and highest level of the open layout prison. There he zips past a cell with a hissing Xenomorph. He ricochets away and lands before a grumbling Gromflomite. One final ricochet away to the other side and he slides to a stop before a cell with two slim figures inside, both looking humanoid but too far back for him to get a proper look.

Wanting to make sure it's not Toshi or Midoriya he slaps the unlock switch and the electrified laser door vanishes.

The two figures quickly snap to their feet and rush forward into the light to escape, revealing themselves as just a pair of antsy and villainous Flaxans.

"Sorry. You are not the prisoners we're looking for." Gran Torino trolls them with a smoke before slapping the switch again and watching as the two Flaxans run headfirst into the laser wall.

Eraserhead has his Capture Scarf tight in his grip as he checks every cell along the second level. Only stopping when he and a masked Yautja make eye contact. The two eye each other, Eraserhead's eyes flashing red out of habit and in warning as the alien snarls back.

Meanwhile, Chopper is just casually rolling along the bottom level and not even giving the Borg, Utrom, or the random jetfighter a second glance.

Pinky is kinda enjoying herself too, feeling like she's in some kind of morbid zoo especially when she finds a trio of cells holding a collection of spiny furballs, it's neighboring cell has what looks like to be a group of vantablack gorillas, and the last cell has an adorable little gerbil who's wearing a little red cape.

"Aw~!' She gushes at all of them.

In response, the Critters suddenly launch themselves at the door with their little teeth gnawing and snapping at her as the Space Gorillas snarl and show off their glowing fangs, and Hamstervelle throws a tantrum to end all tantrums.

Which all earns a terrified shriek from the poor girl. "EEEK!"

Cinder's on edge, this all feels wrong, and it's not just because he has so many hateful glares coming his way. It's a gallery of familiar faces, races and species that either he himself has fought or that Vilgax has subjugated like the Triceraton, Boglodite, and Thanagarian. All three of which are staring the Plumber down so hard that their looks could kill if they could.

Seeing as they all got this, Patelliday pulls back to make a call. "I'll contact Magister Nezu and let him know we arrived."

Finally, that leaves Uravity who's floating softly around and trying her best to scan each and every cell, but with how big this prison is it feels like there's hundreds of them in here. All the colors and shapes and sounds are overloading her senses but she takes in what she can with a quick scan like the alien starfish, there's a living glob of black ink, and a bunch of floating green transparent brains with fangs dangling underneath. And that's just a top of the iceberg with how many cells there are in here with all sorts of alien creatures and monsters tucked inside.

She comes down for a landing right in front of a larger cell and almost immediately upon landing a giant mutant bug with a set of giant pincers as its head charges the laser door, hissing and screeching.

"Ah!" Uravity leaps back away from the horse-sized bug and backs away into the intersecting wall between two cells.

The giant Bug slashes and leaps at the door to no avail, but it can't seem to determine what is hindering it and so it keeps lashing out with no success to be had.

Sighing, realizing it can't get to her, Uravity allows herself to relax when-

"Grrr! BARK! BARK! BARK!"

With a sharp gasp she pulls away from the cell to her right, spinning around she tries to see what exactly barked at her when suddenly she loses her breath as she spots the neighboring cell instead.

That cell is empty, with no laser shield to be seen, and with no prisoner to be had. And yet this cell is smaller than the others, cold and empty, it can house just one person, maybe two…

"Deku… All Might… Where are you?"

---

"That's quite a lot of noise out there. I hope our poor dearies are alright." Recovery Girl comments as she finally arrives at the Plumber ship's bridge with all the others.

Explosions and laser fire still echo from the outside but thankfully the shields are holding, leaving them like a snapping turtle chomping away at schooling minnows.

From outside the windshield, Xylene's ship whizzes past and a chain of burning Vulture Droids are left in her wake.

All the while Majister Nezu stares ahead, his eyes locked onto the Chimeran Hammer and its deadly cannon. "They are making steady progress. Magister Patelliday has just informed me that they've arrived at the prison block."

Recovery Girl smiles in relief. "Good. Hopefully they can grab our dear boys and escape that dreadful place."

"Yes. I hope so too." After a moment of silence, the little chimera turns to ask the others. "Status report."

"Shields back at 80%." answers Cementoss.

"Power is stable." says Power Loader.

"Weapons are still fully functional!" roars Vlad King who's still firing away at the swarming droids, whose numbers are finally beginning to dwindle. They are admittedly not much of a threat, fast sure but their fire power has much to be desired.

They will never know how much that little bit of good news was such a weight off the Principal's shoulders. And the fact that the cannon hasn't fired again is yet another good sign, they must still be charging. "Good. Keep moving One-One we can't afford to remain stationary not even for a second."

Glad-One starts. ^Roger-^

^-Roger.^ finishes Sad-One.

A thundering boom suddenly echoes across the ship as the entire Plus Ultra shakes and rumbles.

The heroes brace themselves as the bridge is knocked this way.

"Shields! Down to 75%!" Cementoss roars as the ship begins to settle.

"We're hit!" shouts Vlad King. "Was it the Chimeran Hammer?!"

Power Loader is checking the systems. "I'm not sure! Nothing showed up on our scanners!"

["Magister! Magister!"] Xylene calls in sounding panicked and worried.

"Xylene!" Magister Nezu calls her back. "What was that?!" Magister Nezu

["There's a ship out here! I don't recognize it. But-it was hidden behind the swarm! And it's close, too close! You need to get out of there! Now!"]

"Xylene! What kind of craft is it?! Do you have visuals?!"

^S-sir!^ One-One shakes in his port as he gazes out space.

There's a whizzing sound before another thundering boom has the entire ship shaking again.

"Shields 70%!" Cementoss yells.

"Who's firing at us?!" questions Vlad King as he looks for a shot.

Magister Nezu looks out to the illuminating red void and what he sees brings the little chimera's heart to a stop. For that is when he sees the nightmare that is an approaching enemy ship.

It's like gazing upon a floating horror show, the incoming craft is like nothing he's ever seen. Or rather it's an amalgamation of many kinds of ships he has seen. The base is that of a Covenant Phantom carrier with Triceraton raptor-ships wired and melded to its sides. Chrome tentacles wiggle and whip from the tail end of the ship as oozing light spreads across the frame, an indication that a Krang scout ship was also used in this nightmarish puzzle. And that's just the beginning parts of many of ships from many other races have been incorporated into this abomination: Borg technology, Yautja ship armor, Thanagarian weapons, and many many more have been used to make this Frankenstein monster of starships.

But there is no question of how this enemy craft came to be. No question of what kind of abomination can command its own abomination. That red shade, those black veins, only one creature in all of existence is capable of such a feat.

[Flesh Bags! You will all perish at the hands of MALWARE!]

---

Missiles of red and ire rocket from Malware's amalgamation of starships and explode into a brilliant lightshow of explosions. And although they can't hear nor feel the blasts, Izuku and Toshinori can see the Plus Ultra's frame visibly shaking as it tries to outmaneuver the much faster ship.

(Nue taunts All Might and Izuku about his new team has a line in each section.)

"Atta boy, Malware! Ha ha!" Nue laughs, acting like he's watching a sports game. "That's pulling your weight! Hahaha!" He nudges Izuku so hard with his elbow the boy tumbles to the ground. "What do you guys think? I really upgraded, didn't I?! The League of Villains' got nothing on this! No parlor tricks! No scheming! No lurking in the shadows! We only follow one rule! One law!"

With his back to his prisoners, Vilgax finishes Nue's statement with a cold and calculating glare. "Only the powerful succeed."

---

Bouncing back up into the air, weightless, Uravity desperately calls out for her friends. "Deku! All Might! Where are you?!"

Her shout echoes across the prison, making many of the prisoners jump and shift. But there is no answer.

She becomes dejected and is about to float herself back to the ground when…

"U-Uraraka…?"

"Young Uraraka…?"

Uravity's head instantly snaps up. "Deku?! All Might?!"

She scans the cells and then, there at the third level she spots a human hand desperately pounding at the laser shielded door.

And from it she hears Deku call out. "Uraraka…it's us. P-please, open the door…" He sounds weak and sickly, which only spurs Uravity to hurry.

Racing to the cell she yells out to the rest. "Over Here!"

Gran Torino's head snaps up at her from the second level. "You found them?!"

"Yeah! Quickly! How do I get them out!" She lands with a stumble that transitions into a run and then a sprint right for the cell's lock pad.

Pinky's Emote sensing antennas are flaring off with activity, and immediately the girl is screaming. "NO! URAVITY, DON'T!"

But it's too late she's already unlocked the door and ran in front to greet her friends. But instead of finding them she finds a iron knuckled gauntlet to the face that throws her back and into the railing, denting it with a thundering boom and a red flash. "AAAhh!"

As she screams in pain a figure zooms out of the cell and over her head, whining away atop a grey glider and its snickering rider. "Hehehe!"

Fighting through the pain, Uravity looks up and spots the grey goblin riding atop the glider. "Sunder?!"

Sunder smirks and soars over their heads, free of their range and free to do as he wants.

Uravity goes to get up but then a second figure calls out to her from inside the cell.

"Long time no see, Little Girl."

Uravity's blood runs cold and slowly she turns around and spots a face she never thought she'd have to see again.

A red armored woman smirks down at her, flashing the girl a little wire box and speaker that is definitely some sort of voice modifier. "Hey, Little Girl. I still owe you for what happened last time we met, ya know!"

From above, Sunder presses a button on his wrist pad and in doing so several other cells open away and a flood of, not alien, but more of Vilgax's Hover Drones and Bioids emerge. Which immediately engage the heroes and sends the entire prison into a screaming uproar.

"I've been dying for some payback! And guess what?! Payback's a BITCH!"

---

"This is so lame!" Red Riot kicks the skull of a nearby Bioid, but it remains unmoving, just like all the rest. "Why am I always holding down the fort? I can help too, ya know." Not to mention he never got the chance to use this high tech hammer he brought; he still has no idea what it does by the way.

"Don't take it personally, Red Riot." Midnight consults while standing atop a stack of no longer flaming drones. "Eraserhead told us all about what you kids did at the Training Camp. It's because of you that your classmates had somewhere safe to retreat to."

Red Riot stares ahead, mulling over her words.

"We all have a role to play, but do not think of yourself as a barricade that's left to conduct traffic." She places a confident yet assuring hand on his shoulder. "You are a fortress! One that your friends and allies are depending on to keep them safe."

"Yeah… You're right!" he flexes, his arms Hardening as he hoists the hammer of his head. "It's not manly to cry about it! This is no time for sulking! I can do this! YEAH!"

Present Mic smiles, enjoying the scene. "Well, you sure bounce back quickly."

"Good thing too." comments one of Ectoplasm's many clones, all the others of which are spread across the hanger and taking up various defensive points. "We can't afford to be shaken too soon."

*BOOM!* An explosion of violet erupts from the sealed off passageway. The gate is blasted away, taking out several of the Ectoplasm clones, leaving a plume of purple smoke to rise.

Having been taken by surprise, the four defenders can only watch as a purple armored alien stalks through the smoke with an entire legion of gigantic drones silhouetted behind them.

"Htaw's pu ithcseB?!"

---

Izuku and Toshinori witness this all happening as sections of the arena's dome give them the perfect angels to watch it all unfold. They see a red armored Iida racing through the ship's halls. There's Sunder hiding within the prison cell. Malware attacking the Plus Ultra.

Even Nue is watching closely, he's particularly eyeing the screen with Bakugou, Shoto, and Thirteen on it.

"Don't you understand?" questions Vilgax. "Your allies willingly entered my domain. Thinking that they can take what is mine. But did they think I would not have the proper pawns to face them in battle?!"

Izuku and Toshinori's hearts drop when they see Ochaco get herself blasted back by a kinetic bursting gauntlet.

---

Uravity is unable to keep her eyes off her attacker despite the chaos taking place 3 levels below her. "Rojo?!"

Rojo's smile stretches. "You remember me. Good. I was almost afraid a big shot U.A. celebrity might have forgotten all about a lowlife like me."

Said celebrity nervously stumbles back and props herself up with the busted railing. "What-what's someone like you doing here?!"

"I'm not some crook anymore, Little Girl!" Rojo rages, offended and mirth by the girl's blatant question.

"Really?!" Uravity scoffs. "You tried and failed to kidnap me? What? Decided to give it another try? You're still just a crook!"

"I'm so much more than that." Rojo raises her fist and her knuckles tighten and the red high-tech gauntlet glows dangerously with a burning red light, even the knuckle spikes glow red hot with anger. "I'm DANGEROUS!"

Rojo's fist rockets forth and slams into the girl's side, the moment it does it explodes, releasing a shockwave of crimson that sends the girl flying across the prison, over the gap, and to the opposite level!

"URAVITY!" Pinky and Cinder cry out, both racing towards the lift but they are cut off, literally, as a section of the floor is ripped out of the ground and teleported away to the Null Void. As Sunder launches his repaired Null Void Axe down at them. The axe's glowing red blade slices the ground before their feet, before swinging around and reeling back up into the air where Sunder catches it. Grinning he grips his repurposed axe, satisfied to find that trading the hilt for an elongated chain was definitely worth breaking it the first time.

"Taste my steel, Plumbers!" Sunder launches his axe down at them again from way on high, this time giving it a spin as to give it a more unpredictable path.

"Stand back!" Cinder shoves Pinky back while keeping his spear ready to parry.

But the two weapons never get to clash as Gran Torino zips in and bats the spinning axe away with a flick of his saber. "Don't let the blade touch you! If you do you'll be teleported into a hellhole even worse than this!"

Cinder and Pinky are about to move again but then they find themselves surrounded by a squad of armed Bioids.

Meanwhile, Uravity forces herself to her feet again, fighting through the shock and pain just as Rojo snickers from across the gap. "You have no idea how long I've been looking forward to this!"

"Just what is this?!" Uravity shouts back while being simultaneously hissed back at by the jailed up Metroids. "Why are all the villains I fight always out for revenge?!"

"He! Who knows?! Maybe we just gravitate towards ya, LITTLE GIRL!" Rojo's rocketpack ignites and she's propelled up and over the gap, and with her gauntleted fist raised above her head.

Uravity leaps to the side, rolling herself away. Leaving Rojo to crash into the balcony with an explosive red shockwave,

"Stop calling me that!" She screeches. "I'm not like before, Rojo! I've changed!"

"Oh, yeah." Rojo smirks dangerously as her high-tech armor shifts and releases puffs of steam, from her elbows and shoulders sets of mini-rocket launchers and sharp melee-weaponry sprout forth that whirl and hum with life. "So have I!" She launches herself at the girl once again as a swarm of rockets the size of darts are fired from her shoulder pads.

Uravity dodges the first rocket dart but then fires a pair of Ryou Spheres at the rest, the resulting implosion knocks them all away but fails to stop the merciless villain who nearly socks her again with a shock-powered punch.

"You missed!"

Rojo's expression is so grim and gleeful it causes the overconfident girl to freeze. Emerging from her sides, near her ribs 2 pairs of insectoid legs appear. They're not long or strong enough to walk on, however they're sharp and the tips are ignited with dangerous sparks of electricity.

And Uravity finds out firsthand how painful they are when the all 4 spikes pierce her sides and deliver the nastiest of shocks right to her system.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

"Feel that?! That pain! That's payback! Because if it weren't for you I would have never been caught! I would have gotten away!" Rojo reels back her fist in preparation. "And I'd never would have become that damned squid's pawn!" She delivers another booming punch to Uravity's side and this time it launches her down towards the center of the prison where she crashes into the bottom level in a heap of smoke.

"Leave the girl alone!" Gran Torino races through the air in order to the reach the girl but his path is interrupted. "Ahh!" A rain of laser fire cuts him off before he redirects himself and slices through the interrupting Hover Drones. 'Dammit, we're outnumbered. Before it was easy since they could only come from two directions but now we've been caught out in the open!'

Which is why they're all having such a hard time Patelliday and Tsukauchi are covering the doorway, but they've been forced behind cover as another legion tries to break through the busted gate. Cinder is holding his own, but Pinky is currently being chased through the air by a pack of Hover Drones. Chopper is screaming his little head off while Eraserhead uses his scarf to throw the Hover Drones into the oncoming Bioids.

They all have their hands full right now which means Uraraka's gonna have to win this fight on her own!

Meanwhile, as the smoke and dust clears away, Uravity is revealed to be sprawled o the ground. Sensing that Rojo's watching her from high above she spins around onto her back and fires a cascade of Ryou Spheres back at the villain.

Her aim is not great and Rojo's an expert in reading them. The villainess gives and leaps away using her various tech like her rocketpack and wire grapples to swing and reel herself away from the pursuing implosions. She swings onto the second level and with her back turned, Uravity leaps to her feet and fires her one last Ryou Sphere. This sphere, slightly bigger than the rest, speeds through the air like a bullet but this villain is used to reading speeding opponents. She easily side steps the attack and jumps off the balcony using the following explosion to give her some extra thrust!

"Is this all U.A.'s got?!" She roars. "I thought you got stronger?!" Rojo rockets down, her Shock Gauntlet out stretched and ready!

"You want to see my strength?' Uravity stands her ground as her entire body ignites with the power of One For All. "Here it is! VENUS SMASH!"

Their fists collide in midair! One of flesh, the other of metal, one of pink and the other of red. The two forces of body vs. technology rage causing the ground to shake and break.

"Is that all you got!" Rojo roars against the raging shockwaves.

"YAAAAHHHH!"

As Uravity gives it her all Rojo's gauntlet quivers for the briefest of seconds before BOOOOM an explosion of crimson blasts the two women away!

Rojo is sent flying into the wall behind her while Uravity is flung into a laser shielded door. "AAAAAhhhh!" She screams, her entire body undergoing electrification once again.

There's a sharp gasp of worry and…recognition from inside the cell but this is not a detail Uravity notices.

Her ears are ringing, and her vision is blurry as she tries to see what happened to the villain. But all she can make out is the pillar of smoke and dust, her friends fighting, and that the cell next to her is the same one as before. The one that was empty and bare, the one that might have held her friends…

"God! You are such a bitch!" Rojo groans as she pulls herself out from the broken metal wall. "You almost destroyed my gear back there!" Her gauntlet's fingers flex and rebend into place and there's some weird internal whirring sound but she can only assume that it's nothing. "But almost doesn't cut it." She stumbles but catches herself and then makes her way forward, ignoring the fighting and blasting going on in the background.

Uravity watches her approach carefully while considering her options. Last time she rushed into a fight Charmcaster and Himiko Toga took advantage of her recklessness and stupidity. She can't make the same mistake again, no, she needs an opening. Get her in close, off her game. Maybe keep her talking. That'll give her time to think of a work around. She needs a way to turn this around in one move. But how?

The sound of shifting glass quietly echoes from within the cell behind her. And with curiosity getting the best of her Uravity spares the briefest of glances back. And what she sees causes her heart to race.

"Don't look away!" yells Rojo as she stomps her way closer. "I'm over here!"

"Where-...where are they…?" Uravity asks weakly, her head still spinning from that last sudden surge of power. "Where's All Might…? Wh-Where's…where's Deku?"

"Deku?" Rojo smirks to herself. "Oh, yeah him. Ya know, did he tell you about our little encounter this summer?"

Uravity glares, her entire form trembling in anger and pain as Rojo finally reaches her.

"Yeah, that's right, I had a little tussle with that boyfriend of yours too. And he was a real challenge. But you-you're off your game, Little Girl." The villainess pulls back her fist as her electrified spikes reel back in anticipation and her shoulder pads get ready to launch. "You're making this revenge, unsatisfying! Give me the challenge that I've been dreaming of for the last YEAR!" She goes in for the kill!

Which is the exact moment Uravity's been waiting for. She dives for the cell's lock and in a single motion, she swipes it open.

Before Rojo can react or pursue her, she suddenly finds herself in a deluge of crystals! An entire wave of diamonds crashes across the lower level, demolishing every Bioid and drone in its path like a tidal wave. Pillars of diamonds reach into the air, smashing through the high-rise balconies. They stretch and spread so high that it's impossible for anyone to tell what happened to Uravity and Rojo. Even Sunder is forced back and away, having to use his axe in order to slice away those same pillars that would have him skewered. As for the heroes they are in no danger nor threatened by the crystals, instead a rain of diamond dust fills the entire facility, making it shine and glimmer all around them like shards of hope.

Rojo coughs up a bit of blood and a tooth, her armor is cracked, and she lost two of her electrified spikes. Thankfully her rocketpack remains undamaged and was fast enough to get her out of that assault. But more importantly it's given her a chance to enact some revenge on the bastard that interrupted her vendetta.

"She's not making your revenge satisfying enough? Then perhaps," Like a character straight out of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, the prisoner struts out of his cell and takes a stand before the villain. "you will find me a more suitable opponent!" The prisoner roars, his resolve unbroken just like the diamonds he commands.

Meanwhile, a smile, a huge smile stretches across Uravity's cheeks, thrilled that Tetrax Shard has officially joined the party.

---

Meanwhile up on the bridge, a lone Bioid has just walked through the doors. As it enters it briefly cans the room and picks out an empty monitor near the back corner. It's unfortunately a distance away from the exit but it'll do.

The Bioid doesn't draw attention to itself nor does it make a noise as it robotically walks past other Bioids and their stations. It soon reaches its monitor where it sits down and begins its operation.

"Master, the Ideon Cannon is at 80%." Psyphon stands at the head of the bridge, his back towards the Bioids and their stations so that he may focus on overseeing the ship as a whole. "We will be firing in approximately five minutes."

["Excellent."] Vilgax's voice responds back.

The Bioid watches Psyphon closely, he's several stations away but even so she'll have to be careful. Those are the thoughts going through Lucy's head as she sits before the monitor. 'I'll need to be more subtle about this, robots are one thing but a living person. He might pickup that something's wrong. If I give myself away too soon then I won't be of any help. I'll have to do this carefully and precisely. I just hope the others can hang in there without me.'

---

"Mr. Shard… You have no idea how happy I am to see you." Uravity's so happy in fact she's almost brought to tears. "Thank you. And I'm sorry, we couldn't help you sooner."

He shakes his head, his body sounding like shattering glass as he moves. "Don't apologize. I was well aware of the risks. But it is still a pleasant sight to see you once again, Ochaco Uraraka." He stands tall and proud at her side as he directs his attention back at the glowering villainess. "Your control over your power has improved, I see. However, I think your combat skills could use some work."

"She took me by surprise. It won't happen again." Uravity gets ready for the fight ahead, raising her fists up in defense.

"Good. I'd like to see just how much you've improved since the U.S.J."

"You bastard!" Rojo looks frantic and crazed; she's become totally enraged as she screams. "Go Away!" Her shoulder pads shoot up and fires a barrage of whizzing rocket darts at the duo,

Tetrax retaliates with a rain of shards, most miss the incoming darts but it's enough to cause them all to prematurely explode. Which provides the perfect cover for Uravity to race ahead and get in close!

Rojo takes a swing at the girl, but Uravity slips past her and as she does, instead of a SMASH, she slaps Rojo's side with her five fingers.

As Rojo goes to spin around and throws a red gauntleted punch, the force of the thrust launches her off her feet and her weightless body is sent flying backwards. Where she is then clotheslined by Tetrax's outstretched crystal arm.

"Gaaahh!" A splash of Rojo's blood goes floating through the air as her weightless body is sent spinning into the pillar of crystals. She lands with a full impact just as Ochaco releases her Zero-Gravity.

"Give it up!" Tetrax's aims his spiked fists down at her from afar. "You're outmatched!"

As Rojo props herself up, she spits at the ground before yelling out. "She's mine! Revenge was mine! I won't let you STEAL THIS FROM ME!"

Just as she declares her revenge, the section of diamonds behind her vanishes in a blink of red and in a roar of thunder.

"URARAKA!" Sunder zooms onto the scene with the axe spinning at his side and ready to launch. "I will not be humiliated by a little girl! NOT AGAIN!"

Like slow motion, Sunder spots a blur movement to his left. And it's the spinning form of Eraserhead. The hero had leapt down from one of the pillars and gave himself a spin as to build up momentum, and now with perfect precision and timing he delivers a roundhouse kick right into the back of Sunder's skull! And the alien goes down, his glider spiraling with him as it all comes crashing down at the enraged Rojo's feet.

"So, you're an alien?" Landing with a cat-like grace, Eraserhead glowers over at the grey goblin's sprawled form. "I'm not impressed. You're just like any other crook on Earth, a push over."

"So, cool!" Uravity gushes.

Eraserhead peers over, spotting his students standing alongside an alien that looks almost exactly like Midoriya's Diamondhead form. "Uravity, who is this? A prisoner you freed?"

"Mr. Aiza-er, Eraserhead! This is Mr. Shard!" She introduces with a shy yet gleeful smile. "You know, the one we talked about!"

"Is he?" He eyes the alien suspiciously.

Tetrax eyes him back before a wave of recognition comes over him. "I remember you, you're the brave soul that took on that monster alone." By monster he is of course referring to the crab-like Nomu that attacked U.A. along with the League of Villains.

"So you were at the U.S.J. Have to say I don't appreciate someone breaking into my school." Eraserhead eases up but he remains wary of the hunter. "I would very much like to know how you did that."

"If we survive I'll go ahead and show you exactly what I did."

Rojo has her guard up, her rocket launchers are ready and waiting for the heroes to move in, but she's holding her ground for now, giving Sunder a chance to recover. "Sunder."

The grey goblin peers up at her with a scowl.

"It's time. No more holding back."

A cruel malicious grin stretches across his face and he quickly sends a signal through his wrist com.

Rojo jumps and nearly preemptively fires another round of rockets as the rest of the Plumbers and heroes swoop in from above the pillars to rejoin their friends.

"Ochaco!" Pinky flies in from above as Gran Torino flies Tsukauchi up and over the diamonds.

Pinky quickly spots what she thinks is Diamondhead but after a quick second she realizes that it's not Midoriya. "Who's that?!"

As Gran Torino and Tsukauchi lands, so too does Chopper who rocketed himself over.

Patelliday is clawing his way up and over as Cinder launches himself up with a stream of fire from his mouth. Cinder lands and quickly takes in the scene and then addresses the unfamiliar face. "So, you're the infamous Tetrax Shard."

Tetrax immediately recognizes that red armor and that fire. "And your Cinder. Never thought we'd meet like this. At one time I was even considering taking on your bounty."

"Heh, are you saying we need to pay to be on our side?"

"No." Tetrax takes a step towards the villains and with a shink his arms morph into a pair of maces. "This hunt is free of charge."

"Fuck!" Rojo can't believe her luck; it wasn't bad enough that the one cell the girl opened happened to be the one with an ally inside but now all of the other heroes survived too. What in the hell! "I hate this! Why'd you have to go and prove the squid right?! We told him we didn't need the back up! But you've forced our hands!"

The rumbling of heavy machinery hums throughout the prison, the sound of hidden trapdoors sliding open can also be made out, causing the rumbling of machinery to grow ever louder. The heroes all gather together like a herd for even through the crystal walls they can almost make out the gigantic shapes marching along the other side.

"THIS IS ALL ON YOU, HEROES!"

With the roar of engines and power, a legion of gigantic drones crash onto the scene, clawing up and over the crystals and smashing their way through the prison with vigor and wrath.

But these are not the same red clad gigantic drones from before. Although they are of the same design and height of 40 ft, the 9 drones that emerge are all of different colors and unique weaponry!

"This is our leader's DOMINATION PARADE!"

These Dominator drones take to action quickly with the most armored cladded one, the one with Bronze armor, takes the charge, its frame bigger and heavier than the others. Its claws replaced with giant drills swing with a destructive force as its hammers down at them from above!

Patelliday fires back but his blasts deflect off its heavy armor. "Take cover!"

"Get behind me!" Tetrax slams his fists to the ground and a barricade of crystals intercepts the massive screeching drill.

"You did it!" Pinky cheers but a sharp gasp escapes her lips as a high frequency pitch rattles nit just their bones but the crystal wall!

In a quivering boom the wall shatters away like glass revealing a Purple Dominator with speakers on his arms so advanced it's able to generate high sonic frequencies.

"A sonic attack?!" Eraserhead gasps just as the White Dominator launches its own attack.

From its hands it fires thin rays of cold, which slathers the entire floor in ice that encases the hero's legs and feet.

^Brbrbrbrbr^ With his entire body entombed by ice, Chopper is left shivering and frozen in place.

"So cold!" Even through the suit, Uravity can feel the sub-zero temperatures sinking through.

Growing frustrated, Cinder unleashes a blanket of flames across the ground, melting the ice away and freeing them. Once they're all out he turns his stream of fire onto the Dominators.

But the Blue one counters his flames by holding them down with a geyser of water.

"What the hell?!" That's when it clicks for Cinder as he takes in these new machines' weaponry, the prisoners, Rojo's Equipped technology, it was all stolen. This had always been Vilgax's way, steal, conqueror, and meld for his own uses. There's a reason he keeps such a collection, why he takes what he does, it's all in the name of creating the most efficient weapons!

The Red Dominator unleashes a stream of flames from its eyes to which Cinder bends to his will an with a breath and his spear he rotates the flames up and away from them all. 'It's all in the name of conquest!'

The entire prison is thrown into disarray, this parade of Dominators keeps them on their toes with every blast of fire, ice, and electricity.

Not to be left out, Sunder gets back in there and is already running their defenses as he slices away sections of Tetrax's pillars, granting the Dominators much more room to rampage. Eraserhead and Gran Torino race to stop him but they are cut off by the Yellow Dominator that has pairs of electrified cables whipping across the battlefield.

"Hey buddy!" Pinky shouts, the hoverboard roaring as it hoists her high into the air after him. "Watch where you aim that thing!" With a swing she tosses an entire pool of Acid at the alien.

He scowls and pulls away on his glider. "You have a fire. I'll be sure to put it out!" With a roar he gets ready to launch his axe when he receives a hard kick to his arm.

"You'll try, that is!" Gran Torino zips away, using his saver to parry the incoming Null Void Axe.

But he has to stay on his guard as an Orange Dominator lashes out at him with a 10-foot-long energy blade of its own.

It's a madhouse in here now, as Dominators roar and assault the heroes with their various attacks, all the while the prisoners roar and jeer from their cells.

The Green Dominator matches Pinky's Acid with its own vile toxic Acid. Forcing Tetrax to shield it all with another pillar of diamonds.

\The Silver Dominator generates a vacuum current that pulls Cinder off his feet, dragging him closer and closer to its swirling fan blades.

Wanting the kill for itself, the Bronze Dominator once again goes it to crush the hero with its drill.

However, a few rounds from the S.A.G.E. Gun by Eraserhead is enough of distraction for it to miss and for Cinder to use its own drill to kick himself free of the vacuum.

Rojo takes it all in and is both thrilled and disgusted by it all: her gear is damaged, she bloodied and bruised, and the Dominators won't care if she ends up as collateral. 'If life has taught me one thing, holding my ground isn't worth my life.' She slides against the wall, keeping herself tight against as she tries to slide away, 'Time for me to bail. I'll figure out my next move later.'

"ROJO!" Uravity snakes through the chaos, flying her over with her Gyro-Disc working double time. "You're gonna tell me everything! You're gonna tell me where they have my friends! And you're gonna tell me what's going on here!"

She crashes into Rojo, dragging them down across crystal encrusted ground.

"Why are you doing all this?! What's the point?! Why are you working with Vilgax?!"

"I don't have a choice! This is just the cards life's dealt me!" Rojo struggles to shove her away her electrified spikes flailing but failing to find purchase. "He turned me into a weapon! A weapon for his Negative Nine to use!"

"Negative…Nine?" She's distracted, it's enough so that Rojo's able to break her grip and hurry away.

"It's what he calls us. Me. Sunder. The others…" She says, coming to a stop after putting some distance between them, "We're all his little puppets, his chess pieces, while he sits at the top as the king." As a cruel violent king, one that wouldn't find their deaths meaningful but an excuse to replace them with someone better, stronger. "I am not gonna die here! But if you're gonna stand in my way! Then be ready for a beating!" Her shoulder launcher prepared to fire but a speeding Ryou Sphere blasts it apart to nothing.

"Where are they?!" Uravity screeches, racing forward like a pink bullet she tackles Rojo to the ground. "Where's Deku and All Might then, huh?! Where?!" She begs, shaking the villain by the collar.

Frustrated and angry, and knowing she can't win, Rojo can only smile back in cruel and vile spite. "They're dead!"

The confession makes Ochaco's heart stop, and her grip loosens, but Rojo is so lost in spite she doesn't even realize.

"Vilgax he tortured them! Slaughtered them right before my eyes! You're already too late! Ha ha ha!"

That laughter rings in the poor girl's head as her fortitude begins to crumble to despair.

However, it doesn't last long when Tetrax calls out.

"She lies!" He roars while forcing back the Brown and Purple Dominators with a wave of crystals. "All Might! He was here! I never saw the boy but they're both alive, I know it!"

"Shut up!" Rojo is seething but unable to stop him.

"Vilgax would much rather keep them alive and tormented, granting his enemies death is too merciful in his eyes." With a big inhale Tetrax exclaims. "They are still HERE!"

Gran Torino zips past, his saber slices apart one of the Yellow Dominator's electrified cables. "Any ideas where he's being held?!"

"His arena." Cinder answers with a haunted look. "He must have been both in his arena."

"Yes, I believe so." agrees the bounty hunter. "And if Midoriya's there then that means that the Omnitrix is there as well."

That's all the Plumber needed to hear. "Change of plans! Forget the prison, we need to fight our way to the ship's top level!"

"Love to! But we got a problem!" shouts Tsukauchi as he desperately tries to Phase the rampaging drones. "Nine problems to be exact!"

Nothing seems to be slowing these Dominators down. No matter what they do. That White Dominator keeps freezing their surroundings and no matter how much Cinder tries to melt the ice away his flames get hosed down by the Blue one. Only for the Red robot to come in and fire upon them all with its own flames.

Tetrax is holding off the Orange and Silver dominators with another barricade of crystals as Eraserhead and Patelliday keep the Purple one distracted. All the while the Green Dominator shoots geysers of Acid up at the flying Pinky and nearly melting Sunder in the process too.

The Orange Dominator has its eyes set on Uravity as it swings in its massive orange glowing blade.

She's not gonna be able to move out of the way! It's too fast!

But then her teacher's scarf grabs her around the waist and pulls her away, allowing the blade to slice the air between her and the stunned Rojo.

Eraserhead catches her and drags her away as the Orange Dominator chases after them. "Does anyone have any ideas?!" He shouts.

^Wa!^ Chopper seems to as he wheels away to go enact it.

"Chopper!" Cinder shouts. "Don't run away! Get back here!"

^Bo-pop!^ He waves him away and scans for a counsel or port.

There, he's spotted one near the far end of the prison and he quickly weaves his way through to get there.

Tsukauchi shouts over the uproar and chaos. "Just what is that little robot planning?!"

Chopper reaches the console where he quickly inserts his hacking rod into the designate port. As he begins to hack away at the system he finally calls out an answer to the big question. ^Wop! Brrr-op!^

All the color from Cinder's and Patelliday's faces drain away.

Cinder screams. "Are you malfunctioning?!"

As Patelliday cries out. "That's not just reckless! That's suicide!"

Their reactions drag everyone into a panic as they all start shouting with questions all at once.

"What is?!"

"What's he doing?! Is he going to suck us out into space?!"

"Is he going to blow us up?!"

"I knew it…"

But no, Chopper isn't after a self-destruct sequence nor is he planning to fling them into freezing space. No he has other plans, plans that they are soon clued in on the moment that every laser shield that's blocking every cell flickers before vanishing away.

Everyone stops: the heroes, the villains, even the Dominators freeze in place with hitched breaths and stunned expressions. Silence swallows the entire prison, everything is still, not a sound is made nor heard…

"FREEDOM!" But then just as fast as they all stood still, they are all thrown into chaos as every corner, every cell, every alien and every section of this prison explodes into an uproar of chaos and violence! Tentacles go flying! Roars and shrieks of unholy sorts fill the air! And weapons are fired off at all cylinders!

Forget order and precision, let havoc and chaos reign!

A swarm of Metroids is released and they immediately clamp down and gnaw away at the Green Dominator's head. As a pack of chittering Critters become a feeding frenzy upon its insectoid legs.

"Face the wrath of the Triceraton Empire! RAAAGH!" The Triceraton stampedes out of his cell, head down, he skewers the Purple Dominator's side and begins pushing it back and away. But not to be taken down lightly the Dominator releases a high frequency blast that only serves to rile up the already growing chaos!

"YAH! Foul machines!" The Thanagarian lets out a joyous battle cry as he swoops out from his cell, his massive wings taking him to the air.

The White Dominator fires blasts of cold after him but the hawk man is far more agile then he appears despite his bulky build.

"Those that dare clip my wings! Will not be spared! YAH!" He slams into the White Dominator with a bang, knocking it back!

The Dominator stumbles, tumbling before one of the larger cells. Ready for an attack the Dominator rises but pauses it finds nothing more than a still fighter jet parked inside the cell. It whirs in confusion when suddenly with a leap and a bound the fighter jet springs to life! Its entire frame and parts transform into a humanoid robot!

"Freedom is mine!" The Transformer gloats with a sharp and unique voice. "You powerless inferior machines! For you are powerless before the mighty-OW!"

He takes a rogue electrified cable to the face as the Yellow Dominator lashes out after the ricocheting Gran Torino and the rampaging escapees.

"WAAAAAAA!" The two Tallest Irkens are flailing about the battlefield, screaming their heads off as explosions and roars ring around them.

"Out of my way!" Screams the purple Tallest while accidentally shoving past his equal.

"No! You get out of my way!" The red Tallest shoves him back.

"Don't shove me!"

"But you pushed me!"

"But you-AHHHHH!"

They are both enveloped by flames, courtesy of the Red Dominator.

They are not the only aliens trying to make their escape. The dog-sized purple starfish is dragging itself along the ceiling towards a nearby vent. The red-eyed Space Chicken calmly yet angry marches off but not before plucking a blaster off the ground.

The inky Symbiote slithers away like a living puddle while Hamstervelle desperately scampers around and tries to avoid being stepped on by the many other aliens all making a dash for it.

"Chopper! You really did it this time!" Cinder shouts while fighting off the flesh craving Boglodite with his spear. "When we get out of this I am so gonna reprogram you!"

^Bwo!^ Chopper clearly doesn't care, waving it off as nothing more than an empty threat.

But his tune changes the moment a silver-bodied android with a brain stuffed into its torso draws a found blaster on him.

"Astro-mech that is in the place that is the place that holds the prisoners. Gratitude is not given to you, which is the one that freed Krang!" The Krang open fires on the little droid, sending him whirring and running for his life.

^Wawawawawawaaaaa!^

The Krang fires after him but his plan for annihilation is cut short when a crystal blades cuts through his neck.

The android falls and the tentacled brain in its gut bursts out, retching and squealing before scurrying away, fearing for its life.

"Disgusting." Tetrax shakes his blade back into its normal form before wiping his hand off his suit. After wiping away the goo he looks at the quivering droid that he just saved. "You're welcome."

^Bp-op!^

They are not the only ones having robot troubles as the cybernetic Borg advances on Eraserhead and Uravity. "You will be assimilated." it chants over and over with that same robotic and lifeless tone.

Eraserhead and Uravity prepare to face off against it as it draws closer and closer.

But then it stops, not willingly. Rather it seems like an invisible force is holding it in place. And then with seemingly nothing in sight it is hoisted off its feet and a set of claws pierce their way through its spine and torso and with a slash the Borg is split in half, raining a mix of oil and fluids onto the invisible form of a large muscular humanoid form with grotesque mandibles and a mane of dreadlocks.

The Yautja snarls like the Predator it is, it decloaks and stalks forward, its body language signaling a challenge to the pro hero.

Eraserhead quickly picks up on it. "Uravity, stay back." He grips his scarf in one hand, his hair floating high as his eyes flare red, and in his other hand he wields his student's own signature blaster. "Come on! I'm here!"

"RAAAAAAAHHH!" The Predator lunges and takes a swing at the pro's head.

Who ducks and delivers a series of jabs to the alien's side.

The alien hisses but doesn't reel but instead takes a back swing at his chosen prey.

Eraserhead rolls across the ground, letting the swing fly right over him before he makes a run for it to put some distance between him and the fighter.

"RRRRrrrrr!" With a snarl the Predator spins around and swipes a dropped blaster on the ground from one of the busted-up drones. It then takes aim with a single hand and fires a succession of laser bolts!

Eraserhead throws his Capture Scarf to the railing above and pulls himself away! But the Predator keeps his sights on him as he fires and fires. But this hero is too slippery even in midair the pro expert wields his scarf like an extension of himself in order to swing himself around all across the open layout prison.

"RAAAGH!" The Predator reaches down and buries its claw into the back of a ripped apart Bioid and with a single swing it chucks the oil spilling bot after the hero as if it were a baseball!

Seeing it come from a mile away Eraserhead makes a move to swing out of its path, however, that's when the Predator no-scopes the Bioid with a single shot!

BOOM! The Bioid explodes and the resounding blast knocks the hero off his balance, pulling him back down to the ground.

"Ugh!" Eraserhead hits the ground hard and with a groan, struggling to get up as his dark mane of hair dangles over his face.

With its mandibles clicking, the Predator stomps over the stumbling hero before grabbing him by the shoulders and yanking him to his feet like a wrestler who just can't stand the idea of his opponent quitting too soon. "RRRRrrrrr!"

"Arh!" Eraserhead snaps back into focus, and he struggles against the Predator's weight and build. He pulls and struggles to shave it back as it lifts him higher and higher.

In a last-ditch effort for some purchase he grabs the sides of the alien's helmet and uses the leverage to kick his feet up against the alien's chest. And with a hard thrust he manages to break the alien's grip but in doing so he manages to rip its helmet clean off.

The Yautja reels back in a mix of pain and shock before it braces itself and turns to the pro hero with its horrifying face fully exposed from its protruding forehead, scaly skin, wild mandibles, and sunken creature eyes. "RRRRrrrrr!"

Eraserhead stands there, disgusted and horrified. "You are one ugly motherfucker!"

"RAAAAAAAHHH!" The Predator lunges at Eraserhead, intending to dig its claws into torso chest and rip out his spine in one go!

However, it misses its mark yet again as the pro expertly weaves out of the way, and instead it finds its entire fist wrapped in the hero's binding cloth.

With a pull and a twist, the Yautja finds its arm bending a way it shouldn't. And then as it's about to pull against its binds, the S.A.G.E. Gun is brought to its elbow with a single PEW its arm is blasted clean off!

"RAAAAAAAHHHH!" While stumbling away in agony and rage, glowing green blood spills from the severed limb as it hisses and howls.

With splashes of glowing blood on his suit and face, Eraserhead stands grim yet steadfast before his enemy. "If you bleed, then I can beat you." He holds the S.A.G.E. Gun steady as his eyes flash dangerously red.

"RAAAAAAAHHHH!"

That howl stretches across the entire prison, and even reaches the ears of Sunder who's overseeing the chaos, out of reach, and safely from atop his high-tech glider.

Sunder watches as the prisoners rage a war against the Dominators. As the Plumbers desperately try to keep ahead of both sides. He watches as Patelliday guns down the badmouthing Gromflomite. And as Gran Torino ricochets off the floating Metroids. It's truly a feast for the eyes, a true show! A horror show that is.

And it will be especially worse for him if the heroes manage to slip away in all this chaos. He needs to strike them down with swift precision and before they realize his incoming attack amongst all the madness. "I'll make this quick and leave before things get worse!"

"Well, it's too late for that!" Through the pillars of smoke Pinky shoots up after him once again with the Hoverboard whirring underneath her feet. "Your luck's about to get so much worse!"

"Stupid, girl! This is way above your head!" Sunder launches his axe at her but she evade letting the chain zip past.

"Maybe! But that's no reason to give up!"

He sees his opening and with a crack he whips the chain to the sides, causing the chain to whip the side of the girl's head!

"Ahh!" She's losing control, she's spinning out! But before she loses her footing she manages to jump and grab onto the wing of Sinder's glider.

"Woah!" he's taken back as the glider falls a good distance before stopping. "You're an amateur with that thing! You think you can fly at my level?!" He roars.

"No! But I can drag you down to theirs."

He's taken back and that's when he realizes that they're hovering parallel to the third level balcony.

"HSSSSSS!" With one of its capturers in reach, the horrifying visage of a Xenomorph makes its terrible presence known!

It pounces into the air and latches itself to the glider causing it to spin out from the sudden weight and motion.

"Get off, creature!" Sunder grapples with the thing but it's stronger than its skinny frame would suggest, and it gives him a fight!

And so, wishing to end that swiftly Sunder readies his glowing red axe.

And that's what the moment, Pinky knew to act. "Nope!"

With the glider spinning this way and that, she somehow manages to hoist herself up and grab onto the axe's hilt before falling, her weight combined with her grip is just enough to pull the axe and its chain right out of Sunder's grip.

"What?! NO!" Sunder tries to snatch it back but the Xenomorph lunges for his head as its claws sink into the glider causing it to spark and go berserker.

"Aaahh!" Pinky falls but thankfully she was thrown off the speeding glider at an angle allowing her land on the second level with a hard thud.

"Ugh!" She groans her back aching as the axe bounces across the ground beside her, the chain falling at her heels.

Meanwhile a midair battle rages above her.

"HSSSSSS!"

"RAAGH! Away with you!" Sunder finally manages to out match the alien and manages to Spartan kick is right off the out-of-control glider.

"HSSS!" The Xenomorph falls away and is thrown onto the second level opposite of Pinky.

With a feral growl it scans its surroundings and quickly spots a large vent installed into the wall. With a tilt of its head and a snap of its fangs, it extends its claws out towards its escape.

Now with his attackers gone, Sunder manages to regain enough control over the sparking glider and bring it back to a stop near the third level. And now that he's back in control he figures the next step is to retrieve his weapon of choice.

"My axe. Where is my axe?! Where is that girl-" He lets out a sharp gasp as a large shadow barrels towards him from below.

The swerved crumbled head of the Purple Dominator comes hurling towards him.

He kicks for the glider to move but it stalls from the earlier damage and Sunder is left wide eyed and stunned as the massive head slams into him, crying across the air before crashing and impeding itself into the furthest cell frame, trapping Sunder completely inside.

"Ha-za!" The Triceraton cheers from atop the busted-up body of the Purple Dominator. "HA HA HA! Such is the fate that dare oppose the Triceraton Empire! All shall fall! HA HA HA-GAH!"

A sudden wave of crystals crashes into the Triceratops-alien, silencing him for now.

With Sunder temporarily imprisoned, Pinky allows herself to catch her breath. She looks around and she cracks a smile when she spots that the Hoverboard happened to land nearby. She grabs it and gets up but then pauses as she looks down at Sunder's abandoned axe with a curious expression.

From the sidelines of the chaos, Rojo has managed to keep out of sight by sticking close to the cells and by shadowing the fallen debris and Dominators. At first she was sneaking up for an attack but after seeing Sunder get himself taken out she redirected her sights on the exit. Battered and bruised she shakily but quickly makes for her escape. After throwing herself across the busted gate's threshold she turns back at the chaos one last time before thinking better of it.

"Next time, Little Girl. You won't be so lucky." She growls before dragging herself away.

Uravity meanwhile is floating high above the chaos. Scanning the battlefield for Rojo but amongst the mayhem she's lost her and instead is forced to watch as her friends fight off the escaped prisoners and rampaging robots.

"RYOU SPHERE!" A trio of pink balls whiz downward like bombs before imploding and taking out the some of the escapees like the Critters, Metroids, and that black inky glob.

She scans and scans looking for any sign of the villainess.

But there's no sign of her. She watches as the prisoners savagely take each other down: the Triceraton and Thanagarian are battling it out, horns vs. wings. And the Critters have chewed through Green Dominator's leg! Causing the massive bot to fall and break, shutting it down and causing its vats of green acid to spill and leak across the floor that is quickly eaten away exposing a large portion the ship's inner workings and massive vents.

"We need to get out of here!" Cinder calls over the uproar and chaos from atop the second level balcony. He waves his spear, trying to get his allies' attention. "Everyone! This way! Ah-Dank Farrik!" He's cut off as the giant Transform's claw nearly slashes him into two.

'This is crazy! And I know crazy!' She continues to search and search and that's when she spots a commotion at the bottom level.

A pack of Space Gorillas are surrounding one of the unlocked cells, the same cell that sat to the left of the one that presumably held All Might, but it itself is not the same one that held Tetrax Shard.

The creatures of vantablack fur and neon fangs screech and howl and snap at someone from inside the cell. Clearly the person inside is putting up a fight based on the amounts of barks and snaps that are coming from inside.

'They're in trouble!' Without even thinking on whether this prisoner is evil or anything, Uravity zips down, plummeting like a painted pink rock.

"MERCURY SMASH!" Like a flash of pink hued lightning, Uravity SMASHES through the feral pack knocking them all away with broken bones and bruised tempers. And before she even realizes what she's done, she's already looking out for the prisoner she just saved. "Hey! Are you alright?! Can you fight?! If you can, please listen! Can you help us?! If we all work together we can all beat Vilgax!"

"Bark!"

She freezes, that bark it's too familiar. Sure, she heard it before when she first entered the prison. But it's different. It's not alien or beastly at all. Or rather it is beastly but not in that way. There's a light panting followed by another bark and there's a swish of fur being swung side to side with cheer and glee.

Slowly she crooks her head around, nervous and wary but then her entire body goes slack with both relief and shock.

"Bark!" A dog, a dog is smiling back up at her!

No, it's not an alien dog. Or a horrifying mutant. It's a dog! Just a plain ordinary dog. It looks like a mix between the two best breeds of dogs: it's a Golden Retriever–Labrador Retriever mix. It has big old doe eyes that just scream "love me," floppy ears that seem oh so warm and stretchy, and a coat of chocolate fur that seems so soft and inviting.

It's just an ordinary dog…well except for the fact that it's wearing a freaking SPACE SUIT! Like a full-on astronaut suit, with the fishbowl helmet and everything, the helmet is half open so its face is exposed. Speaking of which, there's no gloves or boots so the doggie's paws and tail are free and exposed. And on the dog's chest the letters JAXA are stitched in red.

"A dog?!" Uravity is totally confused! 'How did a dog get in here?! Did Vilgax abduct it? Why? Is he a dog person?!'

"Woof!" The Space Dog happily yips back, its tail swishing furiously with naivety and glee.

"SKREEEEE!"

That hellbent screeches snaps her attention away from the dog and instead towards the massive Bug squeezing itself from its own cell and the crystal pillars that were keeping it trapped inside.

The Bug shakes and hisses, its massive guillotine like mandibles snapping all around before it locks onto its previously attempted meal: Uravity herself!

"SKREEEEE!"

Her body reacts on its own, she grabs the Space Dog by the middle and yanks it and herself away, in a flash the Bug has descended upon them, its massive jaws missing by a literal hair!

"SKREEEEE!"

"Bark! Bark! Bark!"

Uravity takes off as fast as she can, she does her best to keep a grip on her passenger but she has no idea which way she's going. She's just moving as the Bronze Dominator stomps overhead and laser fire is hot here and there by the Space Chicken and the two cowering Tallest.

"SKREEEEE!" The Bug charges past, it bats the Tallest Irkens aside like nothing before slipping past the rampaging Dominator, before making a beeline for Uravity's heel!

"Bark! Bark! Bark!"

'This bug won't give up!' As she dashes by, Uravity slaps her hands against chunks of shattered crystal which immediately begin to float up and around, forming a makeshift floating wall.

She stops just short of it, in order to pull this off, she needs to time this perfectly.

"SKREEEEE!" The Bug barrels right through the floating wall, causing a portion of the diamonds to bounce and scatter.

And that is her moment. "RELEASE!"

In one motion, the still floating chunks of diamond plummet right onto the Bug, taking it down and crushing it like the insect it is. It goes still underneath the weight, crushed, and leaving nothing of its presence except for the oozing green and yellow slime leaking out from between the cracks.

"Ugh!" Uravity releases the breath she was holding and despite the situation she allows herself to take a breather.

Too bad the Space Dog won't let her as it begins to wiggle and bark with urgency. "Bark! Bark!"

"What is IIIIITTTTT-?!" The massive leg of the Bronze Dominator slams into her from behind!

The robot stumbles back, its front damaged and blasted open presumably by one of the escapees.

Uravity tries to peel herself and the dog away but she loses her footing! Quickly she realizes that she happened to be standing right next to the massive hole left by the leaking acid from the Green Dominator. And down she and her companion go! As the massive frame of the Bronze Dominator collapses and seals the hole with its own smoking husk.

"AAAAAaaaahhh!/ Aroooooooo!" She screams, hugging the howling dog tight as they fall, and although it's a short fall the fact that she lands inside the vent on her back and with the dog on top of her chest is enough to wind her for a second!

And while she catches her breath, they both begin to slide backwards, the vent is installed on an angle and so she ends up sliding away head first away into the pitch darkness of the vents! "AAAAAaaaahhh!/Aroooooooo!"

"URAVITY!/OCHACO!" Her friends and allies cry out after having just escaped to the second level.

"I'll get her!" Shoving Sunder's axe into Patelliday's hands, Pinky takes the Hoverboard and quickly makes a move to get to her friend.

When Cinder suddenly grabs her and yanks her back. "Wait!"

Thankfully he acted fast enough because the Yellow Dominator soon comes crashing down before them, its head smashing into the second level balcony just feet away from where they are.

"Eeek! That was close!' Pinky screams.

"This is too much!" Eraserhead shouts while yanking Pinky and Cinder to their feet. He;s covered head to toe in some kind of green glowing slime but he doesn't care about that, he's only worried about them! "This is nothing but a distraction, neither Midoriya nor All Might are here. We have to keep going!"

"But what about Ochaco!?" Pinky all but cries. "We have to save her!"

"Ashido!" Mr. Aizawa grips her arms, steadying her, and while looking into her eyes he does his best to reassure her. "We will get her back but right now we can't help her unless-"

"Unless we help ourselves." Pinky finishes with somber understanding.

He nods back although there is a fair amount of guilt and shame around him. He'd much rather go after her too but with no idea where she ended up it'd be best for them to get their bearings first before attempting another search and rescue.

"Come on!" Cinder pulls them away towards the busted entrance of the prison as the prisoners continue to riot. "We'll contact Lucy! She can guide Uraraka back to the RazorCrest!"

That sure gives Pinky some relief but still…

"Don't you worry, youngin'." Patelliday runs up beside her having already tied the massive axe around his back and shoulder. "She can take care of herself."

"She is a capable warrior." Tetrax agrees, running up behind them both with Chopper tucked under his arm.

"She's a tough one." comments Gran Torino as he zips overhead. "There's nothing in here she can't handle."

Pinky slowly nods back but she still has her hangups. "Yeah, you're right. But I can't help but worry."

'Neither can I.' Eraserhead thinks as they sprint for their own escape. 'But the Plumber is right! Uraraka is stronger than anyone gives her credit for.'

Escaping the prison, the Plumbers are with heavy hearts. Not only have they failed to find their missing friends, but they've managed to lose track of another. With any luck they'll save all three of them before it's too late.

To be continued…

"I hope this fable has brought you delight~

I apologize for its duration; the deadline was tight~

I toiled and I typed~

I pondered and I thought~

How to best wrap this for you, so that everything comes out alright~

This chapter was to be longer, but the bell rang true~

And so here we sit, hurried and crude~

I hope this tale was enough for you~

And so I say to you that may read~

I say have a Merry Christmas with sweet melodies~."

- Guardian-Sigil 12/21/2023

*If you couldn't tell from the poem, this chapter was supposed to be a bit longer, but I really really really wanted to have this out by Christmas Eve. So, it had to be cut short so I apologize if the ending felt awkward. That being said we have roughly 3 more chapters to go through till the end of this arc. It'll probably take me another month or so to write the next one because I really do want to get these right. But next time we'll see how everyone else is holding up? Did Kirishima finally get to use his new weapon? What is Ragnarok doing with the Omnitrix? Will Nue get off his ass and go fight Bakugou? And Deku finally be reunited with his friends and family? Only time will tell. So, stay tuned!

*Full disclosure, one reason the next chapter is gonna take so long to write is because I am going to make a New Years OVA/Omake for the side story, "Heroes Never Die; It's Hero Time, Anytime." I was inspired to write this last minute, so last minute that I barely started it. So, I can't even say if I will have it ready for New Years Day itself. But I am going to try! It'll be a short little thing, but it will be considered canon to this story. So, look forward to that!

*EASTER EGGS*: Did you guys think that the Easter Eggs and Cameos from last time would only get one second of screen time? HA! Not this time! I wanted all of them to be in the fray for this. And it probably won't be the last we see some of them during this arc. And maybe some stuff here after. We had a lot this chapter and here's the finalized list, although I wouldn't be surprised if I missed one or two: Xenomorph from the Aliens franchise, Gromflomite from Rick and Morty, Flaxans from Invincible, Yautja from the Predator franchise, Borg from StarTrek, Utrom/Krang from TMNT, Critters from the franchise of the same name, Space Gorillas from Attack on the Block, Hamstervelle from Lilo and Stitch the series, Triceraton from TMNT, Boglodite from MIB 3, Thanagarian from DC comics, Starro is also from DC comics, Venom from Marvel comics, Metroid from franchise of the same name, a Bug from Starship Troopers, the Transformer was obviously Starscream specifically from the Transformers Prime series (Fun Fact: both Starscream and Vilgax are voiced by Steve Blum), the Tallest from Invader Zim, and the Space Chicken from Courage the Cowardly Dog show.

*Oh there was one more cameo in here that was probably pretty obvious considering how much attention they got. Let's just say that Uravity's new pal is gonna be sticking around for a while ;P

Responses for "Guest" reviewers from Ch.81:

Atom king: This chapter is epic, everything in it played out exactly how I imagined at the first part with everyone asking just random questions about Izuku aliens transformation, plumbers and just overhaul everything that going on,I love it.

Now we get meet the rest of the rescue party with Lucy everyone favorite mub shape shifter, the Galvan duo of Blukic and Driba and the old plumber Patelliday which cause Momo to realize that they're little summer adventure had fight actual aliens her reaction was funny, finally Xylene who explained that she sent Omnitrix to earth and continues her romantic feelings with grand Torino I wonder if they stayed together after this adventure?

Now with everyone gearing up I like that they get plumber tech version of their hero suits that cool along with the ship they're going to use, all this is getting me so hyped up for the next chapter when our heroes are going to face the negative nine and vilgax.

One more thing Happy anniversary!

Guardian-Sigil: I loved it too! I knew there was a risk it would break the tension too much but I couldn't resist. I mean they are legitimate questions, not at important to the moment, but they are real questions.

But I hope the hype was well worth it. I think it was. Because they finally were able to invade Vilgax's ship!

---

Thunder Dragon: First off I apologize for me and my colleges spamming request.

Second Review time. With Bluckvic and Driba this is going to be a disaster. Also we need to get the Omnitrix back and fast! And here is Vilgax's arrogance. I hope we see that smarmy attitude be wiped off his face.

Also You need to look at this TV show. You need to look at the Silver Surfer (1998) TV Series. Maybe you can use the show as inspiration for Cosmic Level Threats that the gang have to face.

Guardian-Sigil: It's all good. Thank you

Oh yeah, Blukic and Driba are gonna be causing some problems. Oh yeah

Hopefully next chapter we will see the return of the Omnitrix

Silver Surfer (1998)? I'll have to check it out

---

Grimm: It was not as epic as the previous one but it was very exciting to see everyone, Lucy, Blucik and Driba, Patelliday and others, I am excited to see them in action including almost all of UA, hold on Midoriya and All Might, and it makes me happy as You enjoy continuing with this fanfic and how you write, maybe I wasn't there from the beginning of the fanfic to feel the 4 years since it started, but I remember that I did a marathon of your fic when I wasn't at my best and I'm here now , enjoying this arc as you have no idea and sharing my suggestions to continue watching this fic, I loved everything in your story, how you united my two favorite franchises, you not only limited yourself like in others to only put different dimensions or things without meaning or cohesion you took the time to use what works and remove what doesn't work, and still maintain your creativity and ideas and be open to the suggestions of others, a story like no other. and thank you for answering my questions and ideas, I will wait with You look forward to the next chapter and keep it up.

Guardian-Sigil: Well yeah that was gonna be the case. It was more of a set up than anything else. I hope though the set up led into a chapter full of fun and action, however.

I'm sure you will enjoy it considering how much you already enjoy this story. Thank you for taking the time to read it and to leave such a kind review. I like the premise of this "What If" story and I love my little twists too. So thank you for sticking around

---

Brookdking: I hope izuku turned into a being of the vilgax species. That fix would be fun.

"do you think that just because you are transformed into a Chimera Sui Generis you will defeat me?" asked the tyrant.

"I don't think... I know I can!" shouted izuku with a big smile "and call me gax! (or whatever name you prefer)"

That's something I think would be fun if it happened.

My name is brookdking, saying hello from Brazil!

Guardian-Sigil: It would be

DeadCool14: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! HOLY GOD, THIS IS HYPE!

When they finally get to Deku he's be like "Why do you all have my stuff?!" XD

I wanna see Deku schooling Aizawa with the S.A.G.E gun, like Aizawa is good but Deku's better

Ok, now Deku HAS to get the Ultra Ben-style visor. I imagine that Thirteen probably based it off his All Might hood from his first costume. Also please add this: Thirteen took inspiration from that to make Ochako's new helmet (so it can still be inspired by his hood like in canon) and also did it to mess with them; whenever people see them use them they think it's a couple thing, because they match XD

Awesome references. Holy crap Kiri has a Gravity Hammer. How about these too:

The 'it's not a trap it's a face off' scene, the 'Did that look cool?' moments, Peter's F-Bomb but with Deku, that scene when Groot is just a head and when Nebula gets her head knocked off in Guardians 3 but with Swampfire, and the running gag of Mantis falling on her neck but with Mina; Emotlysts could have sturdy necks lol

Will Rojo point out how Uraraka wouldn't have beaten her without Deku's help?

Oh damn, sorry, I thought it said that I should post the suggestions on the main story, guess I read it wrong.

With what we know about Quirks now, I'm gonna bet that Vilgax will have some complications later down the line that will eventually culminate on him becoming Malgax

Will there be a moment where Deku has to fight and has nothing except a pipe, like All Might did?

In a Blue Beetle comic, it said that the clothes Jaime gets when the armor is not in use are made from recycled skin and waste. So that could be the explanation of how the suits work

It could have been more gory with like Vilgax ripping out stuff from him. Like he incinerates Stinkfly's or rips-offs Big Chill's wings, or he tears out a pair of Four Arms' arms, things like that. Another neat thing could have been XLR8 ramming into him like in the show, but it ends up cracking his helmet and then Vilgax shatters it with a punch

Thanks for the facts about dinos, that's neat

Goddamn you actually had to copy and paste the same answer like three times, f****ing people man

The Plumber Base was also a ship in OV right? They did that like near the end of the show

Given how "excited" Mina and Midnight got about their hunky aliens what do you think of this scenario: Midnight flirts with Tetrax but he's completely immune, because while Petrosapiens have romance, they don't have a concept for casual sex or flirting and they reproduce solely to have children

I think Wildvine, Swampfire, Stinkfly and Jetray have enough differences between them. I mean, Wildvine can't shoot flames and control plants, and Stinkfly shoots goo but not lasers and, as far as I know, can't go to space. Can I throw some suggestions for power twists:

-Bullfrag has a sonic croak like Mr Toad from Beware the Batman

-Chromastone can use hard light, like MCU Ms Marvel and the Atom Eve Special, and maybe some powers like Kizaru from One Piece. Check out this video for that: "Borsalino Kizaru All Attacks and Abilities Pika Pika no Mi (Glint Glint Fruit) 4K HDR" tho a lot of these could also work better for Sugilite

-Jury Rigg can shoot lasers from his eyes and has goggles that can change the intensity of the beams, they can be used for welding or attacking. I got this from Insane-Mane's version of Jury Rigg. I'm just throwing this out there because I remembered that moment is the Sports Festival where Grey Matter made that mech, that felt more like something Jury Rigg would have done

-If you won't change Ditto's power for when Echo Echo appears, then will play more with the skills they already have; besides the obvious clone limit with Echo Echo, the Dittos, despite their bickering, could be better at working together and coordinating since knowing what the other is thinking, meanwhile the Echo Echos are their own beings and don't work together that well, but they do bicker way less. The Dittos are also really stretchy, and he can use that to is advantage, like turn they make a giant slingshot and shoot other Dittos that clone themselves mid-air to slam into an enemy, dodge by cloning in a direction and then merging back

One good example is that scene from Boruto where he uses his shadow clones to grab a lever

I won't lie, didn't like this Halloween OVA very much, tho I do like the way you presented it, it all flows very well and makes sense, specially that bit about Zombozo's Quirk not affecting light, that was neat. It sucks that some of the main kids weren't the focus, but I get it, you wanna give the teachers more room to shine, but this could have been the perfect chance to do a Don't Drink the Water and have baby aliens. Wittle Thirteen is adorable :3

Damn, you really blue-balled me with Toepick.

I do love Justice League Action. That means you'll add Space Cabby later on, right?

Will you do a chapter like the episode "Field Trip"? You could do that scene where Firestorm rants about how his powers work with Momo or Atomix. I read a fanfiction where they explain that Momo's Quirk works like nuclear fission, and Atomix could work if you give him the power to transmute matter (he doesn't in canon, but he does in 5YL)

When Feedback absorbs and redirects non-electric energy, do you think they retain the same properties? Like, he absorbs Vilgax's Omega Beams and when he shoots back, he can control their direction?

I was so happy with the kids discussing what happens when Deku transforms XD. I have another one like those: Someone asks what happens to what Deku ingests when he transforms. Like, if Deku drinks something and turns into Humungousaur, does the quantity of liquid stay the same or would it change with him? And what happens if he has to pee? Can he do it if he has the proper… equipment or does it somehow disappear if he doesn't? And even if he does, how can he do it with those uniforms? They don't look like they have zippers! These are legitimate questions!

In the birthday OVA, what was the second outfit and final outfits references to? Also, shocked you didn't reference other Ben 10 outfits, like the suit from Big Fat Alien Wedding (unless you're saving that for later) or the Speed Racer style get up Ben has when he's in his bike

Also I just now realize there wasn't a scene with Henzu, like maybe him acknowledging that it was Deku's birthday?

Did Argit gave Deku an I.O.U as a birthday present?

Can one of Kirishima's moms have an alligator mutantion, and she has a Cajun accent? Because in the 5YL wiki there is an alien called "Elimigator" that was inspired by Kirishima and that would be a really awesome reference

Will Upgrade do more shapeshifting-based combat? Because that's one of his biggest weaknesses, he only ever uses machines or his laser. He could do things like in Game Over when he's fighting Kenko and turns his arms into a hammer and a mace, or that move Fistina did in Outbreak

*Oh, I thought of another way the fight between Deku and Vilgax could have been gorier is that it could have been like in Invincible, like Invincible vs Battle Beast and a little of Invincible vs Omni-man

Fun Fact, I don't remember if you pointed this out before: The reason Vilgax only has robots is because everyone else is too scared to work for him. Besides Psyphon, of course

Guardian-Sigil: So funny you bring this up the stuff about Thirteen's helmet. Because next chapter I will have Ochaco show off some of her suit's new gear. And Deku is gonna get a new piece of gear too. Already got a design and function for it just waiting to have it uploaded when I finally introduce it

Oh trust me I am going to work in a lot of Guardians of the Galaxy references. There was actually 2 references in this chapter. The second cameo was obvious. But did you catch the first?

Sure the fight between Vilgax and Izuku could have been gorier. But I need Deku ALIVE for the next chapters not in a comma or worse.

Also, yes, the Plumber Base was a ship in Omniverse. It's honestly amazing no one ever asked if I would do that.

Your Question: "Given how "excited" Mina and Midnight got about their hunky aliens what do you think of this scenario: Midnight flirts with Tetrax but he's completely immune, because while Petrosapiens have romance, they don't have a concept for casual sex or flirting and they reproduce solely to have children""

This could be fun. I'll consider it.

As for the Halloween OVA. How was I supposed to "Don't Drink the Water" when they live in Japan? And I said that magic doesn't exist? And yeah i wanted the focus on the teachers because who's the say I won't do my own version on "Don't Drink the Water" later anyway?

Also yes. I wanted to add or at least mention Space Cabby later.

I do have a sort of an idea for the "Field Trip" episode. But I might save that for something else entirely.

As for Feedback redirecting energy. I think it;'s just a straight he absorbs it and shoots it back as his own energy.

As for deku's outfits here is the order of references:

The punk rockstar was a reference to Hobie Brown's outfit.

The hoodie, jacket, and jersey combo was a reference to what Miles Morales wears during the rooftop party scenes.

"He kinda looks like a reporter with a nice blue business suit, red tie and even a pair of square-lensed glasses." - is a Clark kent reference.

"pink tie-dye and in a style straight out of the 80's" is a Barbie and kent reference.

The final outfit was not a reference. It was an original outfit for that Omake.

And I did think about including Henzu in that OVA but thought it was unnecessary. Also in was running out of time to write it anyway.

Upgrade will not be able to make his own machines. He has to fuse with them and UPGRADE them accordingly.

Plus there are already aliens like Bloxx that can do exactly what your describing anyway.

"Fun Fact, I don't remember if you pointed this out before: The reason Vilgax only has robots is because everyone else is too scared to work for him. Besides Psyphon, of course"

Huh, I did not actually know this.

BlueRanger-Lyric: Wow, that was quite an amazing chapter there, seeing the guys explaining everything to them and all the bizarre questions they had to ask, and that time with them gearing up with that song being played, it reminds me of Guardians of the Galaxy, and I believe that was intentional with how it was done, and wow, the Plumber base was a ship this whole time, I did not see that coming at all, I'm really interested to see how things go in the next chapter and throughout the arc, and I like how you explain the even with Vilgax having the Omnitrix, he still has yet to be able to use it for himself, and with all the mentions you've made about Tetrax in this chapter, I'm starting to think that your hinting that it's Tetrax that's All Might's Cellmate instead, which may answer why he was never heard from for a very long time, regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next in the next chapter~

P.S. Since Midnight talked about a Planet to go on Vacation, it makes me think, will you try and make a Vacation arc/chapter where everyone goes to X'Nelli to try and have a Vacation and maybe have Izuku scan all the Manzardill species, especially since Ink Tank made transformations for all of the once they made, including their "God", but anyway if you didn't before, I hope you do now, now that I spoke about it?

Guardian-Sigil: Hehehe that was the point. I love the Guardians of the Galaxy movies (Hence my name Guardian-Sigil). So I've been dying to use their Cherry Bomb scene for a long while now.

And yeah I wanted to foreshadow Tetrax's return. If you go back to when he first was speaking to All Might in their cells I wrote about how when his body movies it sounds like shattering glass. Because that is the sound effect Diamondhead and tetrax's bodies make when they move.

Not gonna lie that Ink Tank video did inspire that line from Midnight. NOT sure if I will do it but I do think it would be really really fun if I did.

---

Guest: If you've seen Ink Tank's latest video with the redesigns and additional forms they gave Aggregor, it makes me wonder, if you choose to include Aggregor in your Fanfic, will you be using the classic looks he had from the show, or will you use the Ink Tank redesigns for him instead?

Guardian-Sigil: Neither. I won't be adding Aggregor himself into this story. But IF I was I would probably go with the Ink Tank design. Because why not? It's cool!

Guest: I hope you like KiriMina, because I have a potential idea you could use to get things going between them, so what if of all her classmate's opinions about her being half alien, Kirishima's opinion matters the most to her, ether intentionally or unintentionally, something like Artemis being more worried about Kid Flash's opinion about her in Young Justice, and especially with the history between Mina and Kirishima, and maybe that could lead to them starting to develop feelings for each other as the fanfic goes on, but what do you think dude?

Guardian-Sigil: It's certainly a cute and appealing idea that's for sure

---

Guest: I also hope Shoto and Momo will start developing feelings for each other and they navigate this new alien reality together, especially if they trust each other that much and are most comfortable with each other, but that's just what I would like to see~

Guardian-Sigil: We'll see. I don't really want to get into ships in this story. I mean I'm already slow to update and writing full chapters with characters dating is gonna take me way longer to get to what I actually want to write about. Sorry if this is disappointing to hear but it's only fair to be honest.

I do have a concept of final ships kinda like they did in Harry Potter but we won't really explore them

---

Guest: Are we going to get am massive space battle at some point. Like one armada vs another.

Guardian-Sigil: Maybe, I haven't thought that far ahead yet

---

BlueRanger-Lyric (again): After looking at the Episode "Mud Is Thicker Than Water" it made me wonder if Lucy would be the only character willing to pull pranks on Bakugo with her shapeshifting abilities, really getting on his nerves and tricking him any chance she gets to catch him off guard, like what she does with Gwen in said episode, but what do you think about that idea for Lucy to do to Bakugo as a potential running gag?~

Guardian-Sigil: Oh, for sure.

---

RTGEX: Finally caught up and wow amazing story man, definitely one the best I've read. I have a few questions about stuff I've been curious about and just this chapter overall.

"You're something else Bakugo" Deku just got his ass beat to a bloody pulp and his powers taken meanwhile his girl saying stuff like that to Bakugo!? Gotta be the worst day of his life LMAO

On the topic of Bakugou... Where's his dad at? Is he dead or something in this story? A plumber maybe? I could be completely wrong but it's just we haven't really seen him. Not a the parents to school day, not at Izuku's birthday and not at the Midoriya household comforting Inko... If he is alive he's kind of a dick lol.

I'm surprised Rad didn't show up with his ship, seems like someone Lucy or maybe even Xylene would've hired. Even then I was expecting him to show up to save Izuku simply because..."He owes me." Straight business haha, he doesn't seem the type to let Izuku escape owing him a favour.

Speaking of Lucy, why was she not an exact copy when changing into 1A? I may have forgotten or something but does she usually have that issue? Btw was expecting her to have a line like "Izuku owes me a date/ Sushi!" I don't remember exactly what is was lol.

Will the rest of class 1a find out? If so I'm curious as to how they'd react, sure the most trusted are okay with it but I imagine atleast a few of them will be mad or maybe just plain betrayed by Izuku. Also what about those members of class 1-A in particular made you pick them to be the main ones to be involved? Good picks just curious as to why them in particular.

Im interested to see Izuku with out the Omnitrix, angst and sadness wise Izuku gonna be a mess, especially considering all his family and friends are about to be brawling with all his worst enemies while he doesn't even have his shield or gun...who knows maybe he'll steal a space ship or something and pop off.

That's a point to, Izuku's saige gun was given to Aizawa...wouldn't of made more sense to given to snipe? He'd be alot more effective and we don't even know if Aizawa has any idea how to use a alien gun, heck even a normal gun lol. Not to mention it would of been a cool little character moment for snipe to shine and maybe even have a moment with Izuku considering he's the one who discovered Izuku's talent with guns.

Anyway those are my only questions and thoughts I can think of rn thanks for writing this man, it's been a long but pleasant read, you should be proud of such work. Thank you!

Guardian-Sigil: Thank you for the review.

Bakugou's dad is still alive just haven't had the need to throw him in yet.

I thought about adding Rad Dudesman but we really haven't spent all that much time with him yet. So, I rather save that for later

As for Lucy she can turn into perfect copies of anyone. BUT she is not Himiko Toga, she can change her shape at will and to look however she wishes. She did the discoloration on purpose and as a gag. Like how characters in Fighting Games like Smash Bros or Mortal Kombat get different colored skin or outfits. She was just trying to have some fun. Also he doesn't owe her Sushi, they already went out for Sushi with Shoto and Tokoyami too.

Yes, the rest of Class 1-A will find out eventually. Just not any time soon.

I thought about giving the S.A.G.E Gun to Snipe BUT I have my reasons. Although it might be a minor reason. Which we will see later. And besides I think Aizawa used it well enough in this chapter. He did blow off a Predator's entire arm with it!

Grimm: To celebrate the 4th anniversary I have some more personal questions for you.

What was your favorite arc from both the Ben 10 and My Hero Academia series?

your top 9 favorite aliens and quirks

and favorite character from both franchises

Guardian-Sigil:

Favorite Ben 10 Arc: The DNA Aliens and Highbreed was really good. But I also enjoyed the Incursion Invasion too.

Favorite MHA Arc: I like the movies a lot. Do those count? If not I really enjoyed the intensity and stakes of the Overhaul Arc.

Favorite Written Arc: probability the Road Trip Arc since that felt like the perfect combination of MHA and ben 10 for me.

Top 9 Favorite Aliens: these are not in any particular order.

Cannonbolt

Ghostfreak

Ripjaws

Armodrillo

Blitzwolfer

Jetray

Upchuck

Rath

Diamondhead

Top 9 Favorite Quirks: these are not in any particular order.

Dark Shadow

Double

Fat Absorption

Orcinus

Warp Gate

Anivoice

Blackwhip

Invisibility

Weather Manipulation

Favorite Characters: some of my favorite characters include Gang Orca, Fat Gum, Patelliday, Rook, Azimuth, Professor Paradox, Eri, all of not most of Class 1-A, Aizawa, and in all honesty there really isn't an MHA character that I hate.

Guest: I'm curious about something, since you gave Vilgax the Tentacle power he had from the Reboot series, will you be included other things that came from the reboot series, like the new Alien transformations like Overflow, Hive Mind (Reboot Stinkfly), Shock Rock, Slapback, Surge and Steel Jaw (Unmutated Bashmouth), or the Antitrix, or some of the new characters and/or villains that came from that series, or are not going to include any more stuff from the Reboot?

Guardian-Sigil: NOPE! That was the only exception to my "No Elements from Reboot Series Rule." Mainly because I think he should have always been able to do that. I tried to watch the reboot and I couldn;t even get past episode 2. It wasn't bad it just wasn't for me.

---

Guest: Are we ever going to see the "Tummy Troubles" story from Omniverse. I just think that 1-As reaction to the Gourmands eating their own planet would be hilarious.

Guardian-Sigil: Maybe. I think it would be a fun one

---

Metal Lizard: When Deku will travel to to other Dimension's will he also meet other Omnitrix users? what if he meets his friends who are Quirkless but have a Omnitrix it could be neat to see how they each use their Omnitrix to become Hero's like Ochaco,Tenya,Bakugo,Shinso each of them figuring out how to use their their Alien Forms and becoming both Heros and Plumbers and their are some Aliens that fit them perfectly besed on their quirks and personality that they could have when they got their Omnitrix

Ochaco Uraraka-Gravattack,Four Arms,Diamondhead,Upchuck

Tenya Iida-XLR8,Cannonbolt,frankenstrike,Upgrade

Katsuki Bakugo-Heatblast,Humungousaur,Rath,Blitzwolfer

Hitoshi Shinso-Whampire,Snare-oh,Ditto,Eye Guy

there could also be a moment where when they all transforme at the same time but they all turn into the wrong Alien Deku goes for Bloxx but turns into Juryrigg

Ochaco goes for Chamalien but turns into Goop

Tenya goes for Shocksquatch but turns into Articguana

Bakugo goes for NRG but turns into Kickin Hawk

Shinso goes for Spidermonkey but turns into Gutrot

I think that it could be a funny moment.

Guardian-Sigil: So, I have my own ideas on how Deku's TimeTravel and Timeline hopping adventures are gonna go down. I rather not get into it due to spoilers but it's gonna be fun.

Dinobot: Since Cinder has had fought many Villans on Earth are does he have any Allies on like that are Plumbers and Hero's who are not Plumbers but do help them out like Gran Torino there some charaters that could I know could do that are

Wildcat-DC

Bulletproof-Invincible

Tracer-Overwatch

Colossus-Marvel

Guardian-Sigil: There probably are. But if I was gonna do them I think logically they would have been introduced by now

---

Guest: From start to the end of the current chapter, this has been an amazing story. You've done an amazing job here and if you need a break from writing, take it. Four years of writing this one story, your determination and persistence can only be likened to All Might and Deku themselves.

As for current chapter events,(last chapter actually) a LOT more characters were let in on the big alien secret than I thought would be let in. I figured the rest of Class 1-A and only the rest of Class 1-A would be told about aliens, not half of Class 1-A, most of the pro hero teachers that we know work at U.A. High, the two moms, and the good Detective Tsukauchi. *I think that's all of them.

ML-E calling Aizawa, Mr. Hoboman, was hilarious.

Now, actually current chapter events. Alien allies are here! Blukic and Driba, honestly, I agree with Hisashi on those two.

Magister Pateliday, is here. Ripjaws is strong but he's not that strong out of water and technically Pateliday is weaker than Ripjaws since the Omnitrix transforms the wearer into a peak physical condition version of a given species given the user's own age and barring any injury sustained prior to transformation. Pateliday does use a blaster though and last I checked gun trumps fist in getting the first attack in.

Xylene's strong telekinesis should prove an invaluable asset to our rescue team, really I'm just waiting for someone to drop a line like "Gran Torino kissed an alien!" infront of poor Toshinori's face.

Lucy Mann is back! As an Among Us player, Shapeshifters are both fun and extremely frustrating, Vilgax will never see her coming.

I gave Cherry Bomb from the Runaways a listen during the armory scene and personally, I think the main theme from 2013's Pacific Rim fit the bill better. It's easy to find on Youtube, give it a listen if you want. If you don't like it that's fine too.

Gran Torino get's a light saber. A LIGHT SABER! That seems extremely unfair ... for Vilgax's security system. ;) But seriously, that sounds sooo op.

Calling it now, Tetrax was All Might's space prison neighbor.

To anyone who still wants Eon in the main story instead of the side story. NO! VILGAX AND AFO ALONE ARE ALREADY MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR THE ROLE OF MAJOR OVER-ARCING VILLAINS AND IF INK TANK'S 5YL COMIC SERIES IS ANYTHING TO GO BY WE REALLY DO NOT NEED EON GETTING HIS ALTERNATE-REALITIES-SPACE-TIME-GOD-SUCKS-TO-BE-YOU-I-WIN-BULL-CRAP INTO THE MY HERO ACADEMIA WORLD. NOT TO MENTION GUARDIAN-SIGIL HAS ALREADY STATED THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO BRING EON INTO THE MAIN STORY, BUT AS A SIDE STORY MAJOR QUEST OBJECTIVE.

Guardian-Sigil: Oh I will be taking a break…eventually. My plan is to finish this arc and then take a TEMPORARY hiatus. Which isn't even true because I'll still be uploading Omakes during that time. But it'll also give me a chance to plan out the future of this story and plot too. And then when I feel confident about it I will jump right back into it.

Hahaha! I'm so glad you found some of the character interactions funny. I wasn't sure if ML-E's little joke went unnoticed or not.

Oh man the Pacific Rim main theme is a cool one! I love that soundtrack. But I was trying to emulate the guardians of the Galaxy Cherry Bomb scene from the first movie.

And yup! I gave Gran Torino a freaking LIGHTSABER! WOOOO! Hahaha!

Also as for your final comment. THANK YOU!
