Deku: The wielder of the omnitrix - Ch 4.
━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━
The students of class 1-A watched as Ditto, or both ditto's body's split into different pairs of ditto's. It was happening so fast, their eyes flickered from focus to focus as more and more ditto's flooded the inside of the circle, each pushing to climb over one another.
"Move!"
"Me first!"
"No-me first!"
It was like seeing kids fighting to get to the top of the slide first, but unlike that it was planned. A column, no- a towering mass of ditto's was built in quick succession, every row working to lift the weight above it. It was amazing, yet scary at the same time.
"We call this," the ditto's shouted in unification, the tower of toddlers beginning to sway to the side. "The leaning tower of Ditto!"
The tower dropped just as fast as it was built up, rapid in its descent, the Ditto at the top of the tower with the back in his hands jumped at the very last second. Boom. Impact.
A shockwave of combined pain seethed within each and every ditto's body.
"OWWWW" they all yelled.
"WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?!" Ditto #50 demanded. The other ditto's pointed at the only ditto still in the circle.
The ensemble of ditto's flared in anger, cursing the original ditto as he also squirmed in the circle in pain. The original ditto then slammed the omnitrix symbol allocated on his forehead. A flash of green bursted from its body. Izuku was back, still on the floor- in pain.
Aizawa turned to the class and showed the device which read "540.4" meters.
What just happened? The students of 1-A had each and everyone their jaws dropped.
"Did that really?-"
"This guy- what kind of quirk is that?"
Katsuki couldn't believe his eyes. For a moment, he'd thought he was going crazy. Maybe he was. He didn't know how Izuku did that. If he had a quirk then he would've gotten it when they were kids but now?- that was the last straw- the last tick to his bomb.
He. was. pissed.
Barely getting to his feet, Izuku turned, still moaning in pain. He was caught off guard by Katsuki's sudden charge. Instinctively, he reached his hand out for the omnitrix again and then, something took a strong tug at his hand, pulling it the opposite direction.
"Deku, What the hell was that!-" A set of explosions detonated from Katsuki's hands. But something was stopping him from moving forward any further. His body, he looked down - it was entrapped by a scarf. He couldn't move an inch further.
"You two, stand down!" Aizawa ordered from the sidelines.
"Why- the hell is your scarf so damn strong?" Katsuki said, staggering back. 'Why can't I use my quirk?'
"It's a capture weapon made of carbon alloy," Aizawa's eyes glowed red as his hair floated upwards. "Making me use my quirk so much- it gives me serious dry eye."
'That quirk, I've seen it before... that's-' The scarf returned back to Azawa in one seamless motion- his hair dropping back to place. 'Eraserhead! The underground hero, I can't believe I didn't realize it!'
"You're wasting my time now. Next person. Go." The pro hero grumbled as he left the two troublemakers unshackled.
Izuku ran off back into the group of 1-A students, Katsuki stayed behind for a moment longer.
'This has to be some kind of prank.' He scrunched up his face, 'That fucking watch. I know that thing has something to do with it. That's right, Deku, you're nothing but a pebble- a small tiny useless fucking pebble! And I'm going to find out your damned secret.'
...
The rest of the tests went by smoothly. Sit ups, seated toe touches - both of which he didn't bother turning alien for. The last test, long distance - he left XLR8 to do the job. Needless to say, he lapped them with ease.
In the end, Aizawa called for them all to gather up.
"So, time for your results." he said with disinterest, "I won't be going over what each of you can improve on, but seeing your rankings should give you all a clear image of your standing."
He clicked the remote in his hand and a hologram appeared with all the rankings of the students.
Izuku Midoriya 1st
-
Momo Yaoyorozu 2nd
-
Shoto Todoroki 3rd
.

Mineta Minoru 20th
'N-no way....' Mineta's heart sank, 'last place? No. No no no-'
"And I was lying about expelling any of you." Aizawa's mouth turned into a sly smile. "It was just an elaborate ruse to get you to work your best."
"Me-WHAAAT!?" The class roared.
"Oh thank you god for allowing me to stay in a school with such cute girls." Mineta murmured, kissing the floor as tears filled his eyes. "I am forever in your debt."
"None you guys realized that?" Momo Yaoyorozu, the girl who arrived second said, "should I have said something?"
"YES!" Everyone replied.
Well, it didn't really matter now. A cheeky smile stretched upon Izuku's face. He could help but glance at the scores again.
Katsuki's face formed a scowl that grabbed Aizawa's attention.
'Those two, they need to be sorted out.' Aizawa turned, 'it seems they have some kind of history between each other. Hopefully their attitudes will change with time. Heroes shouldn't be fighting amongst each other, no matter the resentment they have.'
"Well, that was your first day of U.A" he said as he walked away from the group, "things are going to be tougher from now on. Be prepared for tomorrow when your actually training starts."
'Izuku Midoriya,' Aizawa pondered, 'I was told he had a transformation quirk, yet... back then- I tried to erase his quirk and it didn't seem affect him?'
...
The quirk assessment - the first day of high school was finally over. Izuku walked towards the U.A gate.
"Ditto, Crashhopper... these aliens are still fairly new to me. I really need to learn utilize their abilities..." he muttered quietly.
"Midoriya, what's this about aliens?" A familiar voice asked from behind. Izuku jumped in shock, turning his body to see...
"Iida? Well... Er... I was just rambling on about Mr Aizawa!" He lied, "What did you think of him?"
"Ah, I see." Iida replied as he walked beside Izuku, "to be frank, I found his way teaching slightly jarring, nevertheless I was really impressed- the way he encouraged us with such a lie. U.A really is the best of the best isn't it?"
Izuku nodded his head. 'He really is just extremely earnest isn't he?'
Uraraka, the infinity girl called for two as she caught up to them. "Hey, your Iida Tenya, right? And you're Deku?-"
"Deku?!"
"Hmm? During the physical test- isn't that what Bakugo called you?"
"Ah-well... it's kind of complicated. It's sort of like an insult he's called me ever since we were young."
"An insult, huh?" Iida queried.
"Is that so? That's disappointing because I though Deku sounded like "You can do it", y'know? I liked the name-"
"DEKU IT IS!" Izuku blurted. Iida questioned why he'd accept that name. Izuku covered his red face in embarrassment. Uraraka laughed.
"Alright, Deku," Uraraka said, regaining her composure, "about your quirk... what exactly is it?"
Izuku stiffened.
"Actually... I had the same question." Iida stated. "It's like a transformation quirk I presume, but it almost seems as if you have multiple quirks all in one."
How was he going to get out of this one? Then the thought dawned on him. "So... you know Aoyama?"
"Yeah, the belly laser guy?" Uraraka said.
"Yeah, I'm kind of like him..." Izuku lifted his wrist and showed them the omnitrix.
"That device - I saw you press it each time you transformed!" Iida said. "So you mean that you too aren't able to use your quirk without a support item?"
"Exactly," Izuku answered.
"So it comes at a price, huh. Still, the difference between you and Aoyama even with his handicap is astounding. I guess it's true that not everyone is born equal."
"Yeah..." Izuku knew the feeling all too well. He couldn't help but think about the similarities between him and Aoyama. But he couldn't feel too bad, at least he had a quirk, at least he didn't spend the first years of his life in everyone's shadow.
But he couldn't dwell on the past much longer, on the bright side, his first day at U.A had been great and so far and he'd made some pretty good friends already.
He wondered what U.A held for him the next day.
...
Izuku was bored. Not once had he ever thought that U.A, Japan's top national school, would be so boring. It felt weird to think about. The school that raised generations upon generations of esteemed heroes, and he was sitting at his desk... learning poetry?
It wasn't just him either, The other students could barely keep their heads up in class.
"Now, What is the author trying to imply in this sentence?"
'So boring...'
"Hey hey! Keep your heads up and pay attention!" Present mic yelled, "Come on!"
After the morning lessons, it was time for lunch. It kept up with the usual theme: huge. The cafeteria was daunting to look at. Spacious seating areas, a fantastic aroma, delicious food? What more could you ask for?
"Wow, I could get used to this." Uraraka said with a mouthful of rice. Meanwhile Izuku was trying his best not to explode out of pure excitement.
"Glad you enjoyed it!" The pro hero Lunch Rush said just by their table.
After that it was finally time for the most important part of the day. Heroics training.
"I am..." a voice expressed from the door, "coming in the room like a normal person!"
The class lit up at the sight of number 1 hero.
"Woah it's actually All might!"
"So it was true, he is our teacher!"
"Isn't that his silver age costume?"
"Man, I'm getting goosebumps!"
"Ahem," All mights voice boomed, "I teach heroics basic training,a subject in which you're ability as hero will grow. You will learn all the basics to becoming a hero in this class. And for today's first lesson... combat training!"
The class cheered. Finally, they'd be doing something hero like!
Not wasting any time, All might continued. "And with that being said." He pointed at a wall which had now begun to push out a group of mini shelves. "You'll be wearing the costumes based on your quirk registrations!"
Izuku was relieved to have remembered about the quirk registration a few days ago. He registered his quirk as a simple transformation quirk but he was slightly worried that he'd taken too much time to register it.
All might being here didn't make it any better. After the meeting on the rooftop, he just hoped he didn't remember what he said. About being quirkless? Yeah- the idea seemed slim. All might wasn't dumb, but he hadn't said anything about it yet, so maybe he had lucked out?
Keeping his secret... was getting tougher and tougher. It was only a matter of time until someone found out. He didn't know what he'd do in that situation.
Right now however, he had to focus on what was directly in front of him.
Yes, his costume he'd spent so long designing. He'd finally get to try it out. It was something to take his mind off his secret getting out.
"Head to the locker rooms and change, we'll meet at ground beta!"
...
The U.A changing rooms were surprisingly modern in the sleek sense. Entering the room with the other male students, Izuku found a spot to unload his costume case.
He opened the case. The first thing he saw: a vanta black vest that covered the rest of the costume parts below. It had pockets littered everywhere on it. They were already filled with everything he asked for, canisters, first aid kits, gas bombs the works.
Below that there were was a black under layer shirt alongside a navy green hoodie that could cover his mouth.
Next up were his vanta black cargo pants which were more tapered to the shape of his legs. Like the vest, it had many pockets already filled with all his needs.
Finally, his footwear was the last item in the case. They were a pair of shoes he normally worn on a daily basis. The difference however was the mini pockets allocated at the sides of each shoe.
Once he was fitted into the outfit, Izuku couldn't disregard the fact that he looked like a person serving he military. His vest, his cargo pants, his boots, he maybe went a bit overboard with the pockets. Still, it was necessary. When designing this costume he only focused on his weaker attributes. His human form.
The omnitrix had its limits. It can only last ten minutes- or even less depending on whether he reverts back to human and uses it again in that time frame. Recharging it takes around 5 minutes and in those 5 minutes, Izuku is a sitting duck.
Although he trained his body, it was mostly the abilities of his aliens that he worked on, so compared to most others, he's pretty weak. So, in order to combat this weakness, his costume is filled to the brim with gadgets, tools, anything to help him when the situation calls, at least until he can transform again.
There is also the fact that with each transformation comes with its own set of clothing for that species. The clothes he wears at the moment of transformation are somehow replaced which is still a blunder to him. But that means it wouldn't matter either way if he chose to adhere his costume to his aliens. It would simply be a waste.
He'd spent so much time looking and examine each detail of his costume that he didn't realize he was the only one left in the changing rooms.
Crap.
He rushed out and into the tunnel that led to ground beta. He finally reached the other students, all of whom sported amazing hero costumes.
"Ah, I was wondering where you were, Midoriya." Iida said in knight-like outfit. He looked even more intimidating than usual.
"Woah, Deku," Uraraka added as she caught sight of Izuku, "Your hero costume is so cool, you kinda look like you're in the military!"
Great, even she thought it. "Yeah, and your costume it's also-" Izuku averted his eyes with an instant of seeing her outfit. "Cool." She was wearing a skin tight blue and pink bodysuit which caught Izuku off guard.
"Really? I didn't write down what I wanted so it's not the exact thing I had in mind. It's kinda embarrassing to be honest." She said.
Before he could continue, All might finally called all of the students to a huddle.
"Alright, now it's time for your combat training." All might said.
"Sir!" Iida said while raising his hand. "This is the same area we had the entrance exam, does that mean we'll be doing battles outside?"
"Nope. As you know, fighting villains is mostly outside, however villains who are keen and have any wit will usually stay in the shadows, inside. Hostages, bank robberies - heroes need to take into account that any of situations can occur which is what we'll be focusing on today. For this class, you'll be split into villains or heroes and split into teams of 2 to fight head on head battles with each other."
"With no basic training?" Tsuyu chimed.
"This is the basic training. Unlike fighting against mindless robots, you'll need to learn to use tactics against real people."
"How will wins and loses be determined?"
"Can I just blow them up?"
"Will we get expelled if we don't do well?"
"How shall we split up?"
"Isn't this cape magnificent!"
"One at a time! Please- I'll answer all your questions!" All might assured before pulling out a small notebook.
'Is that a cheat sheet?' Izuku questioned.
"The situation is that the heroes have hidden a bomb inside the building. The heroes will wither dispose of the bomb or contain the villains within the allotted time to win. The villains will need to keep their bomb from being switched off or capture the heroes."
'A very American-like situation..." Izuku compared.
"Now, as for the teams and opponents!" All might pulled out a lot box, "everything will be determined by drawing lots!"
Izuku was with Uraraka in team A.
Team B consisted of Iida and shoji.
Team C was Yaoyorozu and Mineta.
Team D was Katsuki and Shoto
Team E was Aoyama and Mina.
Team F was Sato and Koda.
Team G was Kaminari and Jiro.
Team H was Tokoyami and tsuyu.
Team I was Ojiro and Toru.
Finally, team J was Kirishima and Sero.
Izuku couldn't really complain, he was paired up with a friend at the very least.
...
"Alright half n' half, here's the plan, I kill the heroes and you defend the bomb, got it?" Katsuki commanded. Shoto Todoroki wasn't listening neither did he care for whatever Katsuki had to say. He stood against a wall,his arms crossed, his chilly- unfazed gaze was his response.
"Hey, listen to me you fucking popsicle!" Katsuki urged.
"We're supposed to work as a team." Todoroki finally said, his words cold and quick.
"The hell? I just told you what you have to do, Scarface.-"
Todoroki walked forward from the wall and glared at Katsuki. Katsuki glared back. "You're acting like a child. I can't believe I was handicapped with teammate like you."
A vein popped from Katsuki's forehead. "Handicapped? HANDICAPPED? YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" Katsuki's explosions went off in his hands. He walked over to Todoroki in spite, thrusting his hand towards him.
...
In the viewing room many of the students were watching the gripe between the hot headed explosive and the cold king.
"Are they actually fighting?"
"At this rate they're probably gonna take out each other before the enemy team..."
"All might, should we not do something about this?"
All mights face formed a slight frown. "No. This is all apart of their learning if they want to become heroes. Right now they'll need to learn that they won't always be paired up with the people they want. No matter the situation they should always be able to work as a team. If they can't do that then they simply aren't cut out to be heroes yet."
...
Ice, Todoroki half heartedly formed a wall of ice to block Katsuki's incoming explosion. It wasn't strong enough to keep Katsuki on the other side, though, as his explosion easily broke a hole through.
"Half n' half bastard..." Katsuki took his hand out of the hole with grit teeth. "Fine. You know what? I don't even need your help. I'll do everything my fucking self." He stomped off out of the room which had the nuclear weapon in it.
Todoroki stayed behind. 'Attacking your own teammate...' he wasn't impressed. Well, looks like the walking fuse got away with what he wanted to do in the first place anyway.
It was bound fail, especially against someone like Izuku Midoriya on the opposing team. He was the biggest threat out of anyone in the class after seeing what he'd done in the quirk assessment test. Going at him alone was not a smart idea.
...
"Okay," Izuku clapped his hands together, "battle plan. Have anything in mind?"
"Not really," Uraraka replied, "I'm not to good when it comes to that."
Izuku stared at the building in front of him, analyzing each each and every part. Windows. An idea..
"Uraraka, can you explain your quirk in detail for me?"
"Sure. My quirk basically allows me to fully negate the effects on gravity on anything I touch. I can remove the effect by putting my fingers together."
"So does that mean you can use it on yourself aswell?"
"Yes. What do you have in mind?"
...
The plan was set to go, Uraraka would wait outside for the signal whilst Izuku would go in alone.
"Start!" All might blared from the speakers.
The moment Izuku even entered the building his body- was freezing cold. the walls were lathered in ice, the air had turned frigid. His ears felt like they were about to fall off already.
'T-that was Todoroki's quirk?' He shivered. Going in alone didn't feel as good of a plan anymore. A powerful ice quirk aswell as an explosion quirk? What a combo.
'I-I need to transform. N-no. Recharge time. I don't know how long I'll last against those two.' With each passing moment he was getting closer and closer to becoming and Izukusicle but he powered through.
He walked through the hallways, rubbing his shoulders for comfort, that's when a familiar growl captured his attention.
"FUCKING DIE, DEKU!"
Izuku's head shot backwards, catching Katsuki in the midst of pulling the pin off his giant grenade-like object strapped to his arm. If he knew anything about grenades, it was that taking off the pin meant it would go off.
And it did. Out from Katsuki's hands, a massive explosion bombarded the room, the building shook, the sound loud - painful from close up. The explosion rapidly approached Izuku, engulfing the area with no difficulty.
Izuku didn't have time to pick and choose his alien, he just slammed down and hoped for the best. Still, there were only a few aliens who could survive this. His chances of surviving this head in were slim. He could practically taste the ash at this point.
His entire body was veiled below and illuminating sea of green light.
...
Katsuki was sure that had done it. His strongest attack, all in one blow against Izuku. He'd beaten Izuku. At least, that what he thought had happened. He didn't see Izuku, he was nowhere to be found, instead all he saw in front of him was yellow-fat-blob like creature in his place.
"The Worst!" It yelled. "AGH! That hurt like hell! The one time this guy's actually been useful!" The blob pressed on the omnitrix symbol located on its bellly button, changing back into Izuku who could still feel the pain.
"What the hell was that, Deku!?" Katsuki demanded. He hit him with everything had and he didn't even get out scathed? "Tell me right now you bastard!" He honed in on Izuku.
Not wasting any time, Izuku shuffled through the Omnitrix. 'This'll do!' He slammed down on it again. Another transformation, his total time was decreased. He had to make this fast. Really fast.
"XLR8!" He yelled, a biological visor dropping down from the inseams of his helmet like head. His tail twirled, his body leaned.
Oooh this was going to be fun.
As Katsuki sent another explosion his way, he realized Izuku was gone again. Turning his head, he realized he had taken the form of a different, velociraptor-like creature. Was he toying with him?
"Get your ass back here, nerd!" He demanded.
"If you can catch me first." XRL8 said. Katsuki blinked and then he was gone. It took Katsuki a few moments for hi, to locate XLR8.
Katsuki could barely keep his eyes on the black and blue blur even if he focused. It darted back and forth from wall to wall in a seamless motion. It was blitzing around him at tremendous speeds, lapping him every second or half. A cocky grin grew on his face. What was the objective again? He couldn't care less. Right then, he was fully enthralled in the heat of battle. Right then, he just wanted to beat the fuck out of Deku even with his new quirk.
He turned set off a barrage of explosions in every direction. "DIE!" He roared. the smell of ash filled the room, the explosions died down. Katsuki looked around the room looking for XLR8 but he was gone. Again. He went to the bomb instead.
'That bastard ignored me!'
XLR8 speeded out of the room, he figured fighting against Katsuki would only waste the time he already wasted. With XLR8 he could just go into the room and and get to the bomb without Todoroki even being able to react.
He was fast. When he finally found the room with the bomb in it, he didn't slow down. He'd gone too fast and was now sliding- full speed in to a wall. Shit. A nasty crash. What just happened?
He shook his head, disoriented he could see the reason now. In this room, even the floor was covered in ice. Not good for XLR8, he was useless here. He found himself in a tough position as Todoroki aimed his hand, ready to blast him with even more cold. The yells of Katsuki down the hell getting nearer and nearer.
How would he get out of this mess?
...
Hope you enjoyed :)
| The worst, species: atrocian. This species is a fat-yellow blob like alien with the only power of being indestructible however at the same time, still feeling pain. |
