Last chapter for a few weeks! I hope everyone's been enjoying this series. It's very fun to write.
Anyways, here's your chapter. Here's the Discord: /cgFmXz3qJ5
Izuku's team arrived in the Downpour Zone shortly after the fight, with Iida taking the lead. The signs of battle were all the clues they needed that this was the right way, but the fact they couldn't find any present sign of Ochako or Ben made them concerned.
"I can have Dark Shadow do some recon for us," Tokoyami offered, "He might be hiding somewhere."
"Do it," Izuku said, looking around the place. "The commotion came from over here."
"Ben 10k didn't hold back on her." Aoyoma noted, looking around the wrecked area. "This looks like a warzone..."
Because she fought back with some of his own weapons, Izuku thought to himself, surveying the damage. He could easily pick out the telltale signs of Gravattack, Heatblast, Big Chill, Chromastone, but the massive crater in the ground wasn't like any of the others. Was Ben responsible for that? Did he tear a chunk out of the pavement and throw it at Ochako as Four Arms or maybe even Humoungosaur?
"Deku!"
Izuku looked over to see Momo running over with her group- Mineta was still wrapped up in bandages. Shoji looked none too pleased carrying him. "Were you the cause of all this noise?" Momo asked.
"No- Ben kidnapped Uraraka. This was all between the battle with her and Ben!" Izuku exclaimed.
"What?! She was fighting him alone?!" Mina panicked, "Where is she? Is she ok?!"
"We don't know." Iida said, coming to a halt. "But she's somewhere around here!"
"Then keep searching!" Tsu yelled.
"Never sto-THERE YOU ARE!" Tokoyami yelled and had Dark Shadow grab hold of a figure in the darkness. That figure struggled before electrocuting the raven-headed student, knocking him back a bit.
"TOKOYAMI CHILL! IT'S US!" a familiar voice called out.
"Kirishima? Kaminari?!" Iida asked as he saw Bakugou's group emerge from a nearby alleyway.
"Lemme guess, you didn't fight the real deal. Just a decoy, right?" Bakugou asked.
"Uh...yeah, how'd you-" Izuku began.
"It should be obvious how I know! Came this way thinking the real deal would be here. Unless you already beat him, looks like I'm right."
"I think Uraraka seriously FOUGHT the real deal." Izuku said, looking at the damage.
"Man, how'd Uraraka last a second with Ben 10k?" Kaminari asked.
Izuku, Todoroki, Momo, Iida and Kirishima shared a collective glance.
"She's a lot stronger than you give her credit for," Bakugou surprisingly chimed in, "She survived our fight during the Sports Fest, didn't she?"
"Yeah, but that's against you. A small, angry Pomeranian human hybrid." Sero quipped.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY!?" Bakugou yelled.
Just as the group was about to discuss their next move, a voice interrupted them.
"Well, well, well, look who finally made it." The voice was familiar, and as they turned to face the direction it came from, they saw Ben 10k walking out of the shadows, clapping sarcastically. "Congratulations, you managed to work together to get here. I'm impressed."
"What did you do to Uraraka?" Izuku demanded, stepping forward.
"Relax, she's fine. In fact, she put up quite a fight." Ben said, still clapping. "I'm starting to take you guys more seriously now."
"Enough games, Ben. What do you want?" Todoroki asked, crossing his arms.
"What do I want? I want to test my limits, push myself to the next level." Ben replied, a glint in his eye. "And to do that, I need worthy opponents. That's where you come in."
Before anyone could react, Ben's body began to transform. His features shifted and twisted until he had taken on a new form - that of the alien Brainstorm.
"I think it's time we had some real fun." Brainstorm said, crackling with electricity. "Who's first?"
Kirishima scoffed. "Seriously? A crab? That's your alien of choice against us?"
Izuku's eyes narrowed. Which one is this? He never really uses this guy...
"This 'crustacean' form of mine is far better than all of your minds put together. Even greater than Principal Nedzu..." Ben boasted. "Please, humor me with something."
Kirishima smirked. "Oh, you got it, crabcake!" Kirishima leapt up.
Brainstorm's eyes glowed as he quickly analyzed Kirishima's physical abilities and weaknesses. "Impressive strength and durability," He mused, "But you lack speed and agility."
He fired a bolt of electricity at Kirishima, forcing him to dodge to the side. "Come on, is that all you've got?" Kirishima taunted, charging forward.
Ben simply sidestepped, avoiding Kirishima's punch with ease. "You're too predictable," he said, analyzing Kirishima's movements. "You rely too much on your strength and don't anticipate your opponent's moves."
Kirishima growled and lunged forward again, but Nem was ready for him this time. He used his electrical powers to stun Kirishima, leaving him vulnerable to a quick strike.
As Kirishima stumbled backwards, the other members of the group sprang into action. Todoroki unleashed a blast of ice, which Brainstorm deflected with a powerful energy shield. Momo created a cannon and fired a barrage of projectiles, but Brainstorm dodged them effortlessly.
"Oh, crap..." Izuku muttered, realizing which alien they were all facing.
"What?" Iida asked. "What's wrong?"
"Brainstorm...he's one of Ben's most intelligent aliens. He kinda outclasses Grey Matter in every way." Ben pointed out.
"Is there anything we can do to stop him?" Iida asked.
"If we had soundwaves, yeah- but Ben 10k was planning ahead when he took out Jirou earlier." Izuku frowned.
"We're sitting ducks..." Iida frowned.
"I'm afraid so." Izuku huffed. "Even my tactics can't hold a candle to this guy..."
"Then fuck your tactics!" Bakugou roared, blasting himself forward. Brainstorm crackled with electricity as Bakugou charged towards him. The alien simply held out his hand and fired a bolt of lightning, knocking Bakugou off balance and sending him tumbling to the ground. The explosive hero tried to get up, but Brainstorm used his telekinesis to keep him pinned down.
"Who's next?" Brainstorm taunted.
As Mina rushed forward, Brainstorm quickly analyzed her abilities and weaknesses. With a quick blast of electricity, he paralyzed her and followed it up with a swift hit, knocking her out. Shoji's multiple arms proved to be no match for Brainstorm's electric blasts, which stunned him long enough for Brainstorm to knock him out with a powerful blow.
Tsu's agility was impressive, but Brainstorm's intelligence allowed him to predict her moves and catch her off guard with a well-placed attack. She was quickly defeated. Yuga's navel laser was no match for Brainstorm's electric shield, which absorbed the blast and sent a shock back at Yuga, knocking him out cold.
Brainstorm turned his attention to Sero, Tokoyami, Tooru, and Todoroki. Sero was the first to move, launching a barrage of tape strands at the alien. But Brainstorm was too quick, effortlessly dodging each one. In a flash, he had closed the distance between them and unleashed a powerful electric shock that sent Sero flying.
Tokoyami summoned Dark Shadow, but Brainstorm quickly analyzed the situation and used his electrokinesis to disrupt the shadow, leaving Tokoyami vulnerable. A quick zap of electricity knocked Tokoyami out as well. Tooru tried to use her invisibility to sneak up on Brainstorm, but the alien simply used his enhanced senses to detect her and zapped her with a bolt of electricity before she could get close.
Todoroki had a grim expression as he prepared for the worst. He unleashed a barrage of ice and fire, hoping to overwhelm Brainstorm with his dual-element attacks. But Brainstorm simply absorbed the energy once again, using it to increase his own power.
"Your powers have no effect. My cranium energy can simply convert whatever energy you possess, and turn it into my own. Not an easy strategy, mind you." Ben declared. "Especially with all the math involved. Thankfully...I'm great at it.'
With a crackle of energy, Brainstorm launched himself at Todoroki, delivering a powerful shield ram that sent the student flying across the street. Todoroki tried to get back up, but his body was wracked with pain, and he knew he wouldn't be able to fight anymore. In no time, Brainstorm had taken most of Class 1-A, leaving only Momo, Izuku, Iida, and Kaminari to face him.
Kaminari made a face. "Okay, so I'm useless here. He's smarter than me, and he could totally absorb my attacks..."
Izuku paused. "...aren't you technically a human lightning rod?"
"...oh, yeah, I am!" Kaminari said.
Momo quickly made a rubber sheet for her, Izuku and Iida. "Wrap this around yourself like a cape. Maybe we can counter his electricity like this."
Brainstorm chuckled. "I see you're trying to come up with a strategy. But it's no use. You can't outsmart me."
Izuku gritted his teeth. "We have to try. We can't just give up."
Brainstorm raised an eyebrow. "I like your spirit, but it won't save you."
With a flick of his wrist, Brainstorm sent a bolt of electricity at the group. Momo, Izuku and Iida braced themselves against the impact, their rubber capes protecting them from the shock. Kaminari held up his pointer finger, where the energy suddenly curved towards. As Kaminari suddenly absorbed the energy, his mind's eye...sort of widened.
As Kaminari absorbed the electricity, his body crackled with energy, and his eyes widened in surprise. Suddenly, he felt his mind expanding, and he could feel his thoughts racing faster than ever before.
"I...I can see it all!" Kaminari exclaimed, his voice cracking with excitement. "I understand everything!"
Izuku and Momo exchanged a look of confusion. "Kaminari, what's going on?" Iida asked.
"I can see all of Brainstorm's moves, his attacks, and his weaknesses!" Kaminari exclaimed, his voice tinged with a newfound intelligence. "I know exactly what to do!"
With newfound confidence, Kaminari stepped forward, electricity crackling around him. He darted around Brainstorm, analyzing his movements and calculating his weaknesses. Brainstorm struggled to keep up, his movements becoming more and more erratic as Kaminari darted around him.
Finally, Kaminari saw his opening. He let out a powerful blast of electricity, striking Brainstorm's weak point and causing him to stumble backwards. Momo, Izuku, and Iida quickly took advantage of the opening, launching their own attacks. Momo quickly created a whole cannon and fired a cannonball. Brainstorm quickly threw up an energy shield, but the force of the cannon broke it.
"Just as I thought-" Momo grinned.
"He can't stop kinetic energy! That's why he took out some close range fighters." Kaminari said.
Momo blinked. "It's weird to hear you say that."
"I kinda wish I had it for the exam!" Kaminari joked.
With this revelation, Iida and Izuku stepped up. Iida dashed forward, using his Recipro Burst to gain extra speed, while Izuku charged up his One For All to deliver a powerful punch. Iida moved in close, and landed a barrage of kicks distracting Brainstorm and creating an opening for Izuku. With a final cry, Izuku launched himself at Brainstorm.
"DETROIT...SMASH!" Izuku yelled, delivering a powerful punch that sent the alien flying across the city. Brainstorm crashed into a nearby building, leaving a massive crater in its wake.
As the dust settled, Kaminari stumbled backwards, his eyes returning to normal. "What...what happened?" he asked, shaking his head in confusion.
"You got smart for a second or two." IIda said, walking back over.
"Aw, what? Seriously? How come I don't remember any of it?" Kaminari pouted.
"Looks like instead of going all 'wheyyyyy', you just went back to your base intelligence." Momo guessed.
"Begs the question of what would happen if Kaminari absorbed other alien energy..." Izuku said.
The other classmates started to recover. As they were about to again start talking about finding Ochako, the sound of the Omnitrix activating got their attention. All eyes went over to a green flash from inside a building.
"You guys...saw that, right?" Tooru asked, getting a bit concerned now.
"Yep." Izuku frowned, as the building started to collapse. Everyone ducked for cover, but Izuku already KNEW which alien Ben had chosen.
"His ace...his go to." Izuku said.
"Which is?!" Mina asked.
The alien he'd chosen began to rise out of the collapsed building, a massive reptilian form that honestly gave Kirishima some very heavy Godzilla vibes.
"Ohhhh, come on!" Kaminari sighed.
"HUMUNGOUSAUR!?" Bakugou yelled. "THAT'S BULLSHIT!"
Humungousaur roared, causing the ground to shake as he towered over the class. His massive size and strength made him nearly impossible to take down. Class 1-A scattered, dodging the alien's powerful punches and stomps.
"His size and strength are just too much for us to handle!" Momo shouted as she created shields to protect herself and her classmates.
"We need to come up with a plan," Izuku said, analyzing the alien's movements.
"But what can we do? He's too big to even get close to!" Tsu said.
Suddenly, Kaminari's eyes lit up. "Wait, guys, I have an idea! Mina, can you create a slick surface?" Mina nodded, quickly creating a slick surface on the ground beneath Humungousaur's feet.
Kaminari grinned. "Now, everyone aim for his feet!" With Kaminari's electrical charge, the team launched a coordinated attack on the alien's feet, causing him to slip and lose balance, sending him tumbling to the ground.
"We did it!" Tooru cheered. But their victory was short-lived, as Humungousaur quickly got back up and glared down at the class.
"...eep." Tooru gasped.
Izuku felt One for All surge through his body. "We just need to get a good hit on him." Izuku sized up the alien. "We need to restrain him, so I can get a good shot in the chest."
"What the hell makes you qualified for the job, Deku!?" Bakugou cursed.
"I'm sorry- did you punch out a robot around that SAME size?" Izuku yelled. Bakugou actually blinked at that, still not used to Izuku actually firing back.
"Ok, one good shot? I think we can buy you that opening," Momo said.
"And we can help." Sero said. "Always wanted to wrap up something big like that."
"Wrap the legs!" Iida yelled, putting on his helmet. "It's his only form of mobility!"
"Got it!" Sero confirmed, readying the tape. Meanwhile, Bakugou growled and started to get some of his blasts ready. Todoroki immediately started charging up his ice before slamming his hand down to the ground. A massive wave of ice raced towards the dinosaur-like alien to distract him. It didn't last long as Humoungosaur simply swung his tail and shattered the wall.
"His tail hits with the force of a wrecking ball!" Izuku yelled. "But keep distracting him with the ice walls."
"Easier said than done." Todoroki frowned.
With some effort, Momo finally created a cannon and took aim at Ben. "OVER HERE!" Momo called out, firing a barrage of shots aimed right at the dinosaur alien's face. Cannon fire bombarded Ben, who quickly blocked it. To him, it felt like he was being punched in the arm.
"Ow." Humungousaur growled, as he started to stomp over to the others. "That HURT."
"Uhhh, Kirishima?!" Momo yelled.
"ON IT!" Kirishima grinned, hardening up and racing in.
"Are you serious, man!? You can't take that!" Kaminari yelled. "That's impossible!"
"IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL I TRY IT!" Kirishima yelled, hardening himself to his hardest mode. Kirishima roared as he ran towards Ben-
Only to get swatted away with ease.
"...smart move," Humongousar deadpanned, before another rang out and exploded against Ben's face. Only this one left behind a lingering cloud of gas that blinded Ben for a few moments.
"Okay, somebody do something! I've got him blinded." Tooru yelled, as Humungousaur started to cough and sputter. He tried fanning the smoke away.
Bakugou growled and launched himself forward. His blasts wouldn't do much to an alien this durable, he knew, but the smoke left behind would help with the next part. With him blinded, Izuku decided it was now or never.
Izuku took a deep breath and channeled 10% of One for All into his legs. Izuku was hurtling towards Humungousaur at full speed with one enormous jump. Momo's eyes blinked. For a split second, he appeared to be a blur...
As Humungousaur swung his massive arm towards him, Izuku felt a surge of energy unlike anything he had felt before. Suddenly, time seemed to slow down around him, and Izuku instinctively dodged the incoming attack with incredible speed.
"What the...what just happened?" Izuku gasped, feeling a strange new energy coursing through his body. Izuku sped past Humungousaur, and towards the top of the USJ.
"H-he over shot it!" Sero gasped. Izuku struggled to slow his descent, but managed to direct himself back to facing Humungousaur's back.
"Come on...try it again..." Izuku said, still confused. As he launched himself in midair, he swore he heard the sound of an engine. Izuku couldn't quite place the sound, but it was familiar to him in a way that he couldn't explain. As he soared through the air, he focused on his target once more. Humungousaur was still struggling to clear the smoke from his eyes, and his movements were sluggish.
Izuku channeled One for All into his fist once again, and this time, he felt the strange energy surge through him even stronger than before. He knew he had to time it just right.
VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
With a burst of speed, Izuku closed the distance between him and Humungousaur in an instant. He could see the alien's back in front of him, and he knew that this was his chance.
"I have to do this," he thought to himself. "For all of us."
"One for All...100%!" Izuku screamed. "CALIFORNIA-!"
Izuku's body surged with power as he channeled One for All to its maximum limit. He spun into a frontal somersault, gathering momentum before punching Humungousaur overhead with a single fist.
"SMASH!" The force of the blow was incredible, sending the dinosaur-like alien plummeting towards the ground. As Humungousaur crashed onto the ground with a resounding boom, a shockwave rippled through the area, shattering the remaining ice walls and scattering debris everywhere.
It was like nothing Humungousaur had ever felt before. How the hell did Izuku speed up like that? Ben thought. Did he use One for All to boost himself at the last second? No...he didn't exert any force...
Izuku stood atop Ben's back, fist raised back just in case Ben tried to get back up.
I don't know why, but…my arm isn't broken. Weird. Izuku said, rolling his arm. It felt like I was at 100%...that was the sort of speed I had too. So, why-?
Izuku shook his head. Let's not shift gears now. Gotta focus on Ben.
"Ok, Ben, or whoever you are controlling him- where's Uraraka?" Izuku demanded. Ben reverted back to normal, and looked around. Class 1-A had him surrounded.
Ben took a deep breath. "Fine...you wanna know where Uraraka is?" Ben said, before coughing. His coughs quickly devolved into maniacal cackling. "I'll tell you where-"
A rock was chucked at Ben's head. "ACK!" Ben yelled, before falling over.
"Right here!" Ochako triumphantly said, several more rocks already prepped and floating behind her without their gravity.
"Nice entrance!" Kirishima cheered, "Kinda like something I'd pull."
"Uraraka! You're-!" Izuku said.
"Yeah, I'm fine. These rocks are just for tossing at him for doing that lame bit again." Ochako huffed.
Momo blinked. "I...don't follow."
"So, what do you think?" Ochako called out, "We all pass?"
"Absolutely," Ben answered, dropping that evil façade.
The class stared at Ben.
"He was faking it." Ochako explained. "The whole time."
The class continued staring.
And then they started throwing rocks.
"Ow! Ah! Hey! Easy, easy!" Ben chuckled a bit as he was pelted by the rocks.
"...I'm killing him and for once I think you're all in agreement," Bakugou growled as he tried picking up the biggest rock he could find.
"YOU SCARED US HALF TO DEATH! MAYBE ENTIRELY!" Mina yelled.
"You are far too good at being the villain! It was legitimately terrifying!" Iida added.
"I took acting classes, okay!?" Ben yelled, as he shifted into Diamondhead to tank the rocks. "Ah, there we go."
"Can someone PLEASE explain!?" Sero yelled.
Ochako took a deep breath. "This is all a test to see how we'd react to a situation similar to the USJ attack from earlier this year."
"Who's IDEA was this?!" Tooru yelled, "I feel like they should get a rock or two as well!"
Ben tapped his pointer fingers together. They made a cute 'clink' noise as he tapped. "Well…"
"Oh god, it was All Might wasn't it?"
"Well, HE was gonna be the guy that was rampaging, but he did the villain bit for-" Ben said, and then Bakugou threw a huge slab of concrete at him. Ben caught the slab and, with no effort at all, spun it in his hands and tossed it behind him.
"Rude," Ben scoffed.
Bakugou growled.
"Listen, I'm sorry for any trouble I caused any of you. Honest. But I wanted to see if you kids were ready for whatever comes next." Ben explained.
"Ok, first things first...when we get out of here, you're apologizing to Jirou and Ojiro," Kaminari said.
"Yeah, that's fair," Ben agreed.
"Then, when you get out of here...you're gonna turn into your most chuckable alien so I can HURL HIM INTO THE STRATOSPHERE FOR WASTING MY TIME-" Bakugou yelled.
"Bakugou. Please." Izuku sighed.
"I swear...in most of these fights, you did manage to pull something off that helped, and then you just turn around and do that again," Ben sighed, referring to Bakugou's temper. He was right, of course. Bakugou just didn't deign to respond to that, though.
"I still don't get it. Why did you target Ochako specifically for a one on one?" Mina said. Ochako's heart skipped a beat.
"I trained her! I expected her to have retained some of it." Ben explained. "Personal test."
"A-and I technically beat him before you guys even showed up," Ochako added sheepishly.
"You did?" Tokoyami asked.
"Barely, but yeah."
"How'd you manage that?" Kaminari asked. "No offense, but you're not really a power type."
"You forget she gave ME a run for my money." Bakugou said, walking off. "Whatever she did...she did it right."
"I think he got a little cocky in the end though," Ochako joked. "I managed to get him to do the one thing that all villains love to do."
"What's that?" Todoroki asked.
"Monologue!"
"Yeah, she just sorta...flung me up into the air, and smashed me down into the ground." Ben said. "My back isn't what I used to be."
"This was after he used...kind of a heavy hitter, honestly. Cannonbolt really did a number on me and the whole time he's doing this bit where he pretends to be possessed by someone named Zs'skayr- whatever. Still, I managed to win." Ochako said. "And I'm happy about that."
Izuku gave Ochako a small smile. She could tell him the truth later.
"So, what? Did Thirteen put you up to this too?" Kaminari asked.
"Nope. Aizawa. Thirteen was given as little information as possible to make it seem genuine...so I should probably apologize to her too," Ben answered.
"You need to apologize to a LOT of people." Momo frowned.
"Yeah, nothing new there." Ben sighed.
Thirteen punched Ben in the arm as hard as she could after he'd finished apologizing.
"So...apology accepted?" Ben asked nervously.
"Yeah...and don't worry. Once I find Eraser, he's gettin' a punch too," Thirteen pouted, "Can't believe he decided not to tell me. The kids I get, surprise villain test, but leaving the teacher out of things..."
"Yeah, that's on him. Punch him REALLY hard." Ben said. "I dunno WHY they didn't give you a full rundown."
"I'm punching Nedzu too." Thirteen declared.
"...that may get you fired."
"Punching him hard would. I've punched him in the arm plenty of times. Even gave him a few chops to the head when he decided to play a joke," Thirteen reassured.
"Wait, Principal Nedzu pulled-?" Kaminari began.
"Loooot of Rube Goldberg machines. It's insane what he can make sometimes," The blackhole hero interjected.
"It's true. He used one to take down Animo once. Kinda hilarious." Ben said.
"Oh! I remember that!" Izuku said, "It was-"
"Maaaaybe save the story for later, buddy," Kirishima interjected, nudging his green-haired classmate in the arm.
"I'm tired as hell right now..." Sero yawned. "I'm GLAD we have vacation tomorrow."
"Let's hope we can get enough rest so we don't miss our flight." Kaminari said, as he, Sero and a now freed Mineta walked off.
"Before you head off…Uraraka, Izuku, mind staying behind for a minute?" Ben asked.
Ochako and Izuku shared a look. "Alright, sure." Izuku shrugged.
"Yeah, ok," Ochako nodded.
"Ok, guess we'll catch up with you guys later!" Momo waved.
"What's up?" Izuku asked.
"Well...we have a bit of a situation." Ben said.
"We?"
"Yep me and-" Ben started, but was cut off by a very loud and familiar voice announcing themselves.
"I AM HERE!" All Might leapt out from seemingly nowhere and surprised the both of them.
"How long-?!" Ochako asked.
"The entire time! I was taking a page from Edgeshot's book and doing the 'silent observer' thing!"
"Anyway, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted…" Ben continued, "All Might and I wanted to invite you both to the I-Island expo. We're going there to see an old friend, and we got two 'plus one' things. It's a huge event with all sorts of cutting-edge technology and gadgets. We thought it would be a great opportunity for you to see some new developments in the hero industry."
"I-Island? That sounds amazing!" Ochako exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with excitement.
"I've heard of it before. They've got some pretty impressive research facilities there," Izuku added, nodding eagerly.
"Great! We'll arrange everything and make sure you have VIP access to all the events," All Might said, his signature grin plastered on his face.
"Thank you so much!" Ochako said, bowing in gratitude.
"We won't let you down," Izuku promised, his determination shining through.
"Excellent! We'll see you there then," Ben said, clapping his hands together.
With that, the duo left, practically bouncing with excitement. Ben and All Might exchanged a look, both grinning at the thought of what was to come. The I-Island expo was going to be one for the books, and they couldn't wait to see what kind of new technology and advancements it had in store.
All Might poked Ben. "Isn't there something ELSE you need to do?"
"Huh?" Ben asked, before his eyebrows went. "O-oh, crap. You're right. Hold on, be right back!" Ben hurriedly made his way towards Momo, who was just about to leave with the rest of the class.
"Miss Momo… I almost forgot. I wanted to give you this," He said. He handed her a small package wrapped in fancy silk. The silk looked pretty fancy, like it was mystical or something.
Momo looked at him quizzically before taking the package from him. "What's this for?" she asked.
"It's just a little something. Open it when you need it most," Ben replied with a smile.
"Is this…another Omnitrix?" Momo asked.
"W-what? No. I don't give those out all…willy nilly." Ben joked. "I was asked by someone else to give it over."
"Really? Who?"
"I…can't say." Ben explained.
Momo looked at the gift in her hand, still unsure of what it could be. "Thank you, Mr. Tennyson. I really appreciate it," she said, smiling at him.
Ben nodded. "No problem, Momo. Just remember to open it when you really need it," he said before taking his leave.
Momo watched him go before turning her attention back to the gift. She wondered what it could be, and why someone had asked Ben to give it to her. Was it a gadget of some kind, or maybe even something related to her Quirk?
With a sense of excitement and curiosity, Momo decided to hang onto the gift until the time came when she really needed it. She tucked it away in her bag, feeling a sense of comfort knowing that it was there for her when she needed it most.
