Chapter 5, Training.
Izuku yawned and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, not having very much sleep last night due to the mind-blowing discovery he had. Aliens are real.
The very thought sent shivers down his spine. There were billions of species out there, countless cultures, and technologies far beyond human understanding. And yet... his transformations were part of that vast universe. He wasn't just wielding Quirks like everyone else—he was carrying alien life forms within him. The thought of entire worlds filled with beings like FourArms or GhostFreaks made him feel impossibly small. Am I even human anymore? he wondered.
'are ghost aliens?' Izuku wondered as he thought of his ghost form.
Shaking his head he looked at his phone and opened Twitter, looking as his new friend was trending along with his newly discovered transformations.
PeanutLuver #DiamondHead #Vigilantes did you see DiamondHead's new costume? So cool, and how he humbled that blue lizard guy? It's obvious he's the leader of the team!
Alien Queen reply to @PeanutLuver naaaa HeatBlast is definitely the leader! I bet he actually knows how to dance xD
MurikoThighStan #Vigilantes #DiamondHead anyone else catch how DiamondHead called the raptor guy a child? So that makes two confirmed kids on this stupid team, and I'm still not sure about Ditto...
HotDogLips #Vigilantes another one? And he's a kid? Won't be long till this whole team gets caught and brought to justice.
Izuku scrolled through the endless stream of tweets, each mention of his alien forms sending a small knot of anxiety through his chest. Top 30 hero numbers... He swallowed hard. His personas were blowing up online, and not always for the right reasons. The constant attention, the wild speculations—it was all too much. And Harangue's scathing critiques on live TV? Those were a nightmare. I'm not ready for this kind of attention, he thought, tucking his phone away as the gates of the school loomed ahead.
Opening his classroom door he let out a sigh of relief seeing Kachaan wasn't here yet, considering the last time he saw him Uraraka had just smacked him Will Smith style. Speaking of which he noticed Uraraka in her seat waving at him with a smile. Quickly returning the smile and making his way to his seat on her left, trying his best to ignore the dodgy stares from his classmates.
"Hey, Deku!" Uraraka greeted as he sat down.
"M-morning!" Izuku greeted back, looking around he was a bit surprised by the lack of absence of Uraraka's friends she had following her around all yesterday, they seemed to be sitting away from her and glancing at her with the occasional look he usually receives. "Did something happen with your friends..?"
"Oh, yeah..." Uraraka hesitated, forcing a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. "They weren't too happy about me slapping Bakugo yesterday. Guess they don't want to 'associate' with someone like me." She shrugged, trying to play it off, but Izuku noticed the way her hands fidgeted with the hem of her shirt.
She's hurting, he realized, guilt creeping in. "I-I'm really sorry, Uraraka. If it wasn't for me—"
"No, it's not your fault," she interrupted, her voice a little too quick, a little too high-pitched. She bit her lip, then smiled again, softer this time. "If they can't handle me standing up to a bully, then maybe they weren't really my friends." Uraraka forced a smile.
Izuku instantly felt guilty, this being the exact reason he was a bit scared of her being so publicly friendly with him, afraid her image may be tainted.
"Bakugo's gonna kill you." The casual warning shattered Uraraka's smile. Both she and Izuku turned to face the kid with the stretchy neck, his smirk unsettling. "He was losing it yesterday. When he gets here... you're dead. Both of you."
Izuku felt his stomach drop. He could already hear the explosion ringing in his ears, Bakugo's fury boiling over. He glanced at Uraraka, who tried to put on a brave face, but her hands trembled ever so slightly.
"I'm not scared of that jerk," Uraraka said with a glare, although feeling nervous at seeing how scared Deku looked at the mention of that kid's name.
"You will beeeee" the long-necked kid stated as he stretched his neck back to his desk as the teacher came in.
Izuku and Uraraka watched in worry as the students trickled in one by one filling the classroom up until one seat remained.
"M-maybe he's not here today?" Izuku whispered to Uraraka with a shaky smile.
SLAM
The classroom door slammed open with a force that made everyone flinch. Bakugo stalked in, his red eyes already blazing, scanning the room like a predator searching for prey. His gaze locked onto Uraraka first, narrowing in on her with an intensity that sent a shiver down Izuku's spine.
Uraraka straightened her back, returning his glare with as much defiance as she could muster, though Izuku could see the tension in her shoulders. She wasn't as unaffected as she pretended to be.
Bakugo's lips curled into a sneer as he passed them, the faint scent of burnt ozone clinging to the air around him. "After school," he hissed, sliding a finger across his neck before stomping to his desk. The threat hung over them like a storm cloud, and Izuku could only manage a shaky gulp.
_____________________________________
Lunch arrived soon as Deku put his meal tray onto his empty cafeteria table, at least he thought it was empty until Uraraka came and slammed her tray opposite his and sat down.
"So what's the plan?" She asked before immediately shoving food into her mouth.
"P-plan?"
"Yeah, what are we gonna do about Bakugo?" Uraraka mused, leaning in. Then her eyes lit up.
"I know! You could turn into one of those new aliens you haven't used yet and scare the crap out of him. Maybe DiamondHead or HeatBlast could—"
"No!" Izuku's response was immediate, his voice a little too loud, drawing a few curious stares. He lowered it, glancing around nervously before continuing, "I can't do that."
Uraraka raised an eyebrow. "Why not? You've got the power."
Izuku stabbed at his food, his mind racing. Because if I use them for personal reasons... if Bakugo finds out... if anyone finds out... He shook his head. "It's too risky. If I used one of my aliens, people could connect the dots. Not to mention... I don't want to hurt him."
Uraraka frowned but nodded slowly. "Yeah... I guess you're right."
"Besides, everyone hear knows im Quirkless.."
"Mmm fine then, we'll just run. I know! Turn into that Blue Raptor guy-"
"XLR8" Izuku said cutting Uraraka off.
"Huh? Accelerate?" Uraraka asked in confusion as she tilted her head like a confused dog.
"No XLR8, that's what I called him." Explained Deku.
"..."
A blush slowly made its way onto his face at Uraraka's deadpan staring"W-what I thought it was pretty good!"
"N-no it's good! It's just...XLR8? X L R 8? Why spelt like that?"
"I don't know, it just felt right," Izuku said as he shrugged.
"Well as I was saying, just turn into XLR8 and run us to the beach, I can't wait for training!" Uraraka stated as she pumped her fist into the air "I still can't believe aliens are real! Deku were gonna be trained by a real-life alien!"
"Y-yeah, I wonder what Tetrax will have us doing for training?"
"I bet it's gonna be something cool like training on Mars or something! Oh yeah by the way you owe me $100" Uraraka said a dark aura emitted from her as she let out a villain-like smile. Only to immediately turn happy as Deku let out a grumble and handed her the money, his grumbling increasing as she pocketed it into her beat-up purse.
"Mars? I don't know about that." Izuku said as he scratched his cheek.
"But it'd be cool right?"
Breaking into conversation theorising about whatever Tetrax has planned for them the two of them happily chatted away, unbeknownst to the furious glare they were receiving from halfway across the cafeteria from a certain explosive blond.
'Stupid fucking Deku, stupid fucking round cheeks. Why's he even giving her money? Fucking weirdos. I'll show them..' Katsuki thought as he watched them interact, so sickened by them he didn't feel like eating.
"Bakugo man you okay? You haven't touched your food" one of Katsuki's lackeys asked.
"Shut up fuckhead" only to be quickly silenced by Katsuki's short reply, not once taking his eyes off Deku and Uraraka.
_________________________________________
RINGGG
The school's final bell rang letting everyone know it was time for home, everyone packing up and making their way out of the class. Deku and Uraraka were no different as they were one of the first to leave, eager to escape Bakugo's wrath.
"Deku! Round Cheeks!"
Which they seemed to have failed at, turning around They saw Bakugo angrily walking towards them from down the hall, his two lackeys following eager to watch the show. Instantly Uraraka grabbed Deku's hand and broke into a sprint.
"Grrr get them!" Katsuki yelled breaking into a sprint himself as his lackeys followed closely behind.
Weaving in-between students the two teens desperately ran, Izuku looks back only for his eyes to widen as he saw Kachaan quickly catching up to them.
"He's catching up!" Izuku's voice cracked with panic as he risked a glance back. Bakugo was gaining, fury blazing in his eyes.
Uraraka scanned the hall desperately. No teachers. No escape routes—until her eyes landed on an open window. Without hesitation, she grabbed Izuku's hand. "Deku, do you trust me?"
"What? Of course, but—"
Before he could finish, she yanked him out the window. They were falling fast, the ground rushing up to meet them—until their fall suddenly stopped mid-air.
"Release!" Uraraka said.
"Oof" Izuku let out as his butt hit the ground. "Good thinking Uraraka!" Looking at the window they just leapt from Izuku watched as Katsuki looked at them with a face of shock before making eye contact with Izuku, his face turning into one of rage as left the window in a hurry presumably making his way out of the building. "W-we should go now."
"A-Agreed" Uraraka said, grabbing Izuku's hand once again and breaking off into a sprint.
As they ran amongst the streets bumping into random people leaving work, Uraraka quickly broke off from the main Street pulling Izuku with her into an empty dark alleyway and pulling him behind a dumpster.
"Now huff would be puff a good time to change into XLR8" Uraraka stated as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Right," Izuku said as he dialled up the alien, pressing the dial down as he saw the speedster's silhouette.
FLASH
Uraraka covered her eyes as the green flash lit up the dark alleyway. Uncovering her eyes she looked on at the familiar blue raptor, his visor sliding down covering his face. Uraraka barely opened her mouth before XLR8 disappeared into a blue blur and she found herself being held bridle-style.
"Hold on, pedal to the metal" His raspy voice warned as he once again broke into a blue blur, Uraraka holding on for dear life, before coming to a stop near the familiar rubbish piles of Takoba Beach.
"Woah already?" Uraraka asked in disbelief as XLR8 put her down.
"Pretty fast huh? I wonder if I could even keep up with All Might?" XLR8 said as his visor slid back up showing his face.
"Who cares! I wanna see what our training is gonna be, C'mon!" Uraraka yelled in excitement as she ran out of sight behind the mountain of trash. XLR8 crossed his arms tapping his balled foot as he gave her a headstart.
BANG
"OW!"
Or not, his visor instantly going down and breaking off into a blue blur in fear that Uraraka has been attacked. Only to find Uraraka in a bit of a clearing amongst the beach, mountains of trash stacked high around it. In the middle Uraraka sat rubbing her forehead, XLR8 blitzing his way right next to her in a matter of seconds.
"You okay? What happened?!"
"I hit my head, on...nothing?" Uraraka said in confusion as she looked to where she had hit her head. Holding out her hand her eyes widened as she seemed to touch an invisible surface. "Woah!"
The reptile followed as he raised his claws and felt the invisible surface as it made a strange scraping noise as he dragged his claws along it.
"What is this?" XLR8 blurted out, his visor coming back up.
Suddenly green consumed their visions, XLR8 quickly grabbed Uraraka and backed up about 10 meters in case it was dangerous. Curious the two teens watched in bewilderment as the green shimmering started to form a shape of some sort, something large, only for the green shimmer to disappear leaving a...giant-
That... that's a spaceship!" Uraraka's voice trembled with excitement and disbelief. Izuku's alien eyes narrowed as the shimmering cloak peeled back, revealing the massive structure in full. The sheer size of it, towering over the trash heaps, made them feel insignificant.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
In a flash of light, XLR8 was gone, and Izuku stood in his place, eyes wide with awe. "I can't believe it... we're about to board a real alien spaceship."
HISSSS
The two teens quickly snapped their heads to the sound as part of the ship opened up and a ramp extended down to the sandy beach. Amongst the smoke, a familiar silluhoute appeared. Said silhouette raised his fist and tapped it to his chest in some sort of unique greeting.
"Tetrax!" The two teens once again yelled out in unison.
"You're late, I expected you children here at sunrise to maximize your training period." The diamond man said, slight annoyance in his deep voice, his annoyed glare being seen due to his helmet being down.
"W-we had school" Izuku stated nervously.
"Y-yeah!" Uraraka hastily agreed.
"You wield the most powerful weapon in the universe," Tetrax said, voice deep with disapproval.
"and yet you're concerned with something as trivial as 'school'? Humans are... strange creatures." He crossed his arms, his cold eyes sizing them up like they were more of a puzzle than worthy trainees.
"Still, perhaps there's something about your dedication to these odd traditions that I can't quite understand." He paused, rubbing his crystalline jaw thoughtfully. "For now, I'll humor your schedule. But once you're on my ship, you'll need to take this training seriously."
"It's not like we can just skip school" Uraraka stated with a pout.
"Y-yeah! My Mum would kill me" Izuku stuttered out.
"Your own mother would kill you for missing out on something so trivial for the greater good? Perhaps it would be best not to miss your education then.." Tetrax stated as he rubbed his Crystal jaw in thought. "We'll sort out the schedule to suit your strange human traditions later. Follow me"
'He does know she won't actually kill me right?' Izuku's sweat dropped as Uraraka had a goofy smile on her face.
'He really is an alien!'
Noticing said alien was making his way up the ramp back into the ship, the two teens hastily followed. Once inside they looked on in awe at the sheer size of it. The entrance is some sort of storage compartment with a factory-like look to it.
"Cool!"
"It's so big!"
"Yes it is..cool, isn't it? And this is just the storage room, it gets a lot bigger trust me" Tetrax stated with a slight proud grin, before pulling out a small device from his belt. "Gluto, Reactivate cloak mode."
"Cloak mode? That's why it was invisible earlier! That's so cool! Do all alien spaceships have these?" Izuku excitedly asked.
"Yeah and who's Gluto? oh Is he another alien!?" Uraraka excitedly asked herself.
"Yes cloak mode was the reason my ship was invisible earlier. Sorry for the problems it may have caused you, I heard about your little run into the ship Uraraka" Tetrax explained, Uraraka letting out an embarrassed chuckle as he finished. "Not all ships have them but it's standard protocol for any visitors to have it when visiting low-level planets. As for who's Gluto? You'll see"
As Tetrax finished his explanation the square platform he had led them to slowly rose, startling the two Vigilantes. Before rising up and following a hallway through the ship, the two teens looked on in awe at all the different rooms and sheer size.
"Woah what's this?" Izuku asked in awe at the strange room they were currently passing through. Said room appeared to be an obstacle course of some sort, all sorts of dangerous contraptions laid about ranging from spinning blades and spiked balls.
"My personal training room, have to stay in shape in between missions" Tetrax stated.
"We're training... here?" Uraraka's voice was barely a whisper as she stared wide-eyed at the obstacle course in front of her. Spinning blades, spiked pits, and steep falls lined the room, making it look more like a deathtrap than a training ground.
Izuku swallowed hard, feeling the weight of the situation sink in. "This... this is a bit more intense than I expected." His heart pounded in his chest as he imagined trying to navigate the deadly course.
Tetrax chuckled darkly, noticing their reactions. "Relax, this room isn't for you. It's where I keep myself sharp between missions. Your training area will be... safer."
"Moving on. That's the hover simulator, It can recreate over a thousand different courses. You two are welcome to use it anytime"
Said two were currently foaming out the mouth as they stared at the many Hoverboards to the right of the strange glowing green room. Eager to use an actual freaking hoverboard!
"This is so awesome!" Uraraka yelled in excitement, Izuku happily nodding his head in agreement eager to learn how to use a literal hoverboard. The two excitedly celebrated as they followed Tetrax off the platform into a more narrow hallway, watching curiously as the doors slid open for them with a hiss.
"Woah" Izuku said in awe as he and Uraraka walked into the room, not noticing a strange figure to the left of them. Looking around at the strange but obvious control room for the ship.
"Check it out, it's like we're in a big video game" Uraraka pointed out as she walked forward towards the nearby strange pod with controls. Only to immediately let out a small shriek as a brownish-reddish slime erupted up from the middle of it. "AH living snot!"
"That's my Pilot, Gluto." Tetrax informed.
"Grrrrbbbbbb" the now-named Gluto garbled out, stretching his slime-like body into Uraraka's face.
"Woah! Another alien! You're so cool! Nice to meet you Gluto!" Uraraka said in excitement as the slime beings eye's widened and a small blush took to its face.
'I've seen enough video's to know where this is going' Izuku thought with a deadpan on his face as he stared at the alien with slight interest and disbelief.
Letting out another happy garbled at Uraraka he made his way over until he was face to face with Izuku.
"Grrmmmm"
"H-hey, N-nice to meet you too" Izuku stuttered out. The snot-like alien squinted its eyes before making its way back into its odd chair. Before Izuku could speak a new voice made itself known startling the teens.
"Welcome back sir!" A unique voice shouted, Izuku and Uraraka turned around and looked in awe at the strange new robot saluting Tetrax.
"And this is OOM-10, but you can just call him OOM or 10. He's a B1 Battle Droid I bought for security when I'm not here, although sometimes I wonder if his programming is faulty..."
"My makers called me an independent thinker!" OOM announced, swiveling toward the humans. "Hello, flesh bags!"
"h-hey..." The two teens stuttered out with a sweatdrop each.
"Sir, the badge you requested is ready," OOM said, handing Tetrax a small, all-too-familiar badge. 'Another Omnitrix?!' the teens gasped, staring wide-eyed at the device.
"Oh, can I use it? I want to turn into an alien—maybe FourArms! No, Ditto!" Uraraka asked, her excitement overflowing at the thought.
"T-T-there's another?" Izuku asked in confusion.
"No, Sorry to disappoint you Uraraka but this is just a badge that I had OOM make up in the workshop so onlookers aren't confused as to why 'Diamondhead' isn't wearing his badge whilst we go on patrol"
"Patrol? Is that what we're doing for training?" Uraraka asked, an excited smile taking up her face.
"Wait so you're gonna pretend to be DiamondHead?" Deku asked.
"Not yet, but it'll prove to be useful training once I'm sure you two can handle yourselves, not only that but it is a noble thing to do. And whilst on patrol yes I will be pretending to be DiamondHead, we don't want the public to ask why there are two people with identical quirks." Tetrax explained as he stuck the green badge on his left where DiamondHead's usually is, the badge sticking to his suit like a magnet to a fridge.
"I guess that makes sense" Izuku said agreeing with his plan.
"So..what are we doing for training then?" Uraraka asked curiously.
The crystal man only let out a smirk before walking away, the two quickly following him, once again hopping on the platform that took them to a different room.
"A gym? Ohh a pool!" Uraraka pointed out as they made their way to the massive room. Many different areas sat within it all from a gym set to a pool to a running course to even a freaking shooting range!
"I got tired of visitors using my personal equipment. So I had this made in case whatever being in the galaxy that was working with me wanted to as you humans say 'Get them gain's ' " Tetrax informed as the teens looked around in awe. "It should be useful to train all the aliens within the Omnitrix."
"So cool! What do I do first?" Izuku asked excitedly as he popped the dial-up the Omnitrix.
"Go the Pyronite, HeatBlast I believe you called it"
"Okay!" Izuku stated as he pressed the dial down.
FLASHHH
As the flash died down, Uraraka once again rubbed her eyes in agony from the brightness, HeatBlast stood with an excited face.
"So what do you want me to do with this form?"
"Head over to the shooting range, I'll join you shortly. I wish to discuss Uraraka's training" Tetrax said, HeatBlast giving Uraraka a thumbs up before breaking off into a goofy run towards the shooting range.
"So what's my training gonna be like?" Uraraka asked with a tilt of her head.
"Follow me, and tell me about you and the limits of your powers"
"O-oh right, my quirk is Zero Gravity, anything I touch with my hands will lose its gravity. But my limits are only 4 tonnes..maybe 5 if I push myself" Uraraka explained.
"The power to defy the laws of gravity itself... You humans are terrifying." Tetrax said. "And what of Izuku's? Fire breathing?"
"Huh? Fire breathing? No, he's Quirkless"
Now that shocked Tetrax "Quirkless? I wasn't aware that was capable, must explain why he's so trigger happy with the Omnitrix"
"Y-yeah" Uraraka said with a sweatdrop 'kinda my fault that, making him go vigilanting with me'
Passing by the gym set Tetrax stopped in Infront of a strange basketball-sized ball that was in Infront of a computer of some sort.
"Make this float" Tetrax stated.
Shrugging Uraraka walked over and made the ball float quite easily.
"Now what?"
Tetrax only smiled "Keep it floating" On the computer Tetrax slid a slider up. Uraraka instantly felt the effects as she began sweating and shaking.
"So... heavy!" Uraraka strained, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
"This is Galilean Technology, an honourable and powerful race. like you they possess the power to affect gravity" Tetrax informed 'Probably best not to tell her this is used for children as a game on their planet '
"I c-cant hold it anymore!" Uraraka grunted as the metal ball dropped with a heavy bump onto the ground. "How huff heavy was huff that!?"
"4 tonnes, will be aiming to increase your limits" Tetrax explained before pointing towards the gym set "Not only will we be training your Quirk, but your body as well. Here I this was made by an old friend of mine, he was human as well, follow his instructions. " Tetrax said as he handed Uraraka a piece of paper with a workout regimen on it.
"Tuesday cardio? Aw maaan" Uraraka complained as she made her way to a treadmill "I already feel like throwing up"
"After you complete that head back to the Gravity Ball, and attempt to hold it for as long as you can"
"Right!"
Tetrax gave her a respectful nod before making his way towards the Pyronite who was waiting patiently.
"So what am I doing?" HeatBlast asked.
"Today, we'll focus on your aim with your Pyronite form. Better to master control before you accidentally torch the city."
"Pfft, accidental fires? Me? Never!" HeatBlast chuckled, a nervous grin betraying his confidence.
"Ehh right... Anyway, I want you to hit all 4 targets, if you miss will try again until you get all 4" Tetrax explained as he pushed a button near the shooting range. 4 cutouts of a red target popped up moving left to right about 30 meters from Izuku. "Also focus on absorbing the flames back in, it'll be good training for how far you can absorb from"
HeatBlast glanced at his hands, then nodded at Tetrax, slipping into a mock gunslinger stance. "Here goes!" HeatBlast yelled as he drew his hand from his hips and pointed it in a handgun-like position towards one of the moving targets.
BOOM
The target instantly exploded in a mass of fire and smoke. "That's what I'm talking about," The Pyronite said with a smile.
"Good shot… or just luck?" Tetrax asked, eyes fixed on HeatBlast. "Again."
HeatBlast narrowed his eyes, forming a large fireball between his hands. With a grin, he split it into two smaller, denser flames.
Looking on with a cheeky smile at his creation the Quirkless teen couldn't help but feel good. "Liikinnngit" his eyes narrowed as he shot the balls of flame toward the targets
KABOOM
The fireballs instantly hit straight onto 2 of the 3 remaining targets destroying them instantly, the last remaining target was quickly destroyed as HeatBlast fired on it. The flames were quickly absorbed back into the Pyronite before they could spread.
"Boom! Four for four! HeatBlast punched the air in triumph—only to send a fireball crashing into the ceiling, leaving a smoking scorch mark. 'Uh… my bad.'"
Tetrax could only stare at the black scorch mark as he thought how he was gonna clean that. "Sigh… aside from that, you did well. Your aim's impressive, especially for a rookie."
"Thanks, I think I just got lucky though aha," The Pyronite said as he rubbed the back of his head bashful at the compliment.
'ha take that Kachaan! Who's useless now?'
BEEP BEEP BEEP
'Crap...'
FLASH
Izuku stood with an annoyed look on his face as he stared at the now red-glowing Omnitrix. "Guess training's over for the next 10 minutes.."
"Around 10 minutes huh? That's okay, we can work with this" Tetrax stated as he pulled out a piece of paper the same as the one he had given Uraraka and handed it to Izuku. "Follow this regimen until the Omnitrix recharges, then return to me. Whenever you aren't using the Omnitrix I want you to be training your body, not only will it come in handy but I'm sure it'll affect your forms as well."
"Right, makes sense, when I get hurt as an alien I usually have the same wounds when I transform back." The teen informed before staring at the regimen he'd been given and walking towards where Uraraka was. "Cardio?"
Tetrax watched the boy's figure walk away as he thought to himself. 'His aim was really good for a rookie... Guess I shouldn't be surprised, not if he's anything like him"
_______________________________________
Huffing and puffing already, Izuku felt bad for leaving Uraraka's side as she attempted to hold the Gravity Ball. Regaining his composure he looked to Tetrax for instructions.
"Today will go 1 to 10, we had your Pyronite form now who's next?"
"Oh, uh..." Izuku dialed up the Omnitrix, twisted it, and slammed the dial down as the green flash engulfed him.
FLASH
Tetrax stared into the eyes of a fellow Petrosapien, feeling a twinge in his chest from old wounds. "Good. This is the form I can teach you the most about.'"
"Makes sense," DiamondHead said as he looked at how similar this form and Tetrax really are. The main differences were the larger crystal spikes on his back and a greener hue than Tetrax. "So what do you want me to do?"
"'This,' Tetrax said, slamming his hands to the ground. A crystal pillar shot up, slamming into DiamondHead's chest.
"OOF!"
"Now shoot me" Tetrax demanded as he watched the teen groan and make his way back to his feet.
"'You want me to do what?!' DiamondHead stammered, wide-eyed, before catching Tetrax's narrowed gaze. 'S-SPOOKY!'
Shaking his head he focused on morphing his hand, taking aim he then proceeded to fire three sharp crystals towards his chest.
Tetrax reacted quickly, slamming his hands together as they morphed into a crystal shield, deflecting the shards in all directions.
Morphing his hands back into their usual shape, his suit must've been made to be adjustable for when he did that. "You figured out what I want you to focus on today with this form?" Tetrax asked.
Izuku instantly squinted his eyes in thought before coming to a conclusion. "Defense?"
Tetrax grinned. "Correct, as you saw a great defence is the best offence. When I saw footage of you fighting the Mother Drone you were getting thrown around all over, I hope to improve your defence should that encounter happen again."
DiamondHead bashfully rubbed the back of his head in slight embarrassment. "Eh it wasn't that bad hehe"
"You got thrown through multiple cars" Tetrax said flatly.
"T-thats just normal earth things! cough anyway what now?" DiamondHead asked quickly changing the subject.
Tetrax responded as his arm instantly morphed into a spiked mess and was pointing right towards him.
"'Now it's my turn to shoot."
"Wait—what?!'"
______________________________________________
Izuku sat, his chest and arms bruised all over. 'who knew crystal on crystal hurts' panting as after he timed out he returned back to the gym equipment, Uraraka not fairing any better as she was green vomiting into a bucket OOM held.
"This has got to be the worst job in the galaxy" the droid said with a depressed tone.
Working out until his Omnitrix recharged, Izuku once again found himself standing before Tetrax panting heavily.
"Next" Tetrax calmly said.
"Huff Right!"
Dialling up and twisting it, Izuku once again transformed.
FLASH
"A Splixon? Interesting, what do you call this form?"
"Ditto!" Informed the Splixon as he stretched.
Tetrax hummed in thought before coming to a conclusion "Follow me"
Ditto followed, trying hard to not fall behind the much taller being as his legs were short. They soon found themselves in another corner of the room, a whole Ninja Warrior-type course.
"Split into 10" Tetrax demanded as he watched the Ditto split into two then to four then to eight and finally to 10.
"Now what?" Ditto (1) asked.
"Yeah, we racing or something?" Ditto (7) asked.
"Want you to complete this course as fast as possible, hopefully getting a better time each try. I'll only stop when all 10 of you make it to the finish." Tetrax stated as OOM-10 walked over holding a timer of some sort.
"Ready when you are sir!" OOM stated
"You ready Midoriya?"
"Yeah!" All 10 Ditto's answered in unison getting in a position ready to sprint.
"3...2...1..GO!" Tetrax yelled as the Ditto's broke into a sprint towards the first obstacle, OOM-10 starting the timer.
The Ditto's stared upon their first test, a rock wall about 10 meters high. Ditto (1) taking the lead with the rest following it was a matter of seconds as they made their way to the top. Looking on they stared at a narrow walkway with a wall with holes in it.
Ditto (4) not hesitating ran across eager to get past it, all seemed to be going perfectly-
POW!
"Gaah!" A red padded pillar shot out from one of the holes instantly smacking Ditto (4) off the walkway and down onto the padded floor below destined to start over again.
"Screw that!" Ditto (3) said being next in line and not wanting to get whacked in the face.
"Just go already!" Ditto (6) yelled pushing Ditto (3) straight into the middle of the walkway, instantly breaking into a sprint maneuvering his body and avoiding the red padded pillars with surprising levels of agility before making his way to the next obstacle. The rest of the Ditto's catching up-
SMACK
"Ahhh!"
'Nevermind' Ditto (3) thought as he watched Ditto (6) fall to the ground. Looking at their next obstacle they looked on in confusion at the strange glowing square platforms in Infront of them in an 8x2 formation.
Ditto (3) quickly leapt onto the first platform, the right side of the two, landing with a solid...why is he falling?
"WHAA!? OOF!"
The other Ditto's looked on in confusion and grimaced as the platform disappeared as soon as Ditto (3) landed on it, instantly falling to the ground.
"..."
"Dibs not 1st!" Ditto (1) yelled, the rest of the Ditto's scrambling with their 'dibs not's' as well not wanting to go first. Albeit Ditto (9) was too slow and with a gulp jumped onto the first platform on the left. Seeing it stayed solid the Ditto happily jumped to the next one on the left, Ditto (1) behind him as he hopped along. Looking at the 3rd set Ditto (9) kept to the left side again.
"AHHH!" Only to go straight through.
The 6 Ditto's remaining made their way to the 3rd set of two platforms. " This isn't working, we're wasting time!" Ditto (1) stated.
"Got any better ideas than Einstein?" Questioned Ditto (8).
Thinking to himself a sudden plan emerged in his head, looking at his clone with a cheeky smile Ditto (1) cracked his hands. "Yeah. Watch this!"
Throwing his hand forward the other Ditto's watched as a clone emerged from his hands which then wrapped around his legs before repeating the process until there was a whole chain of Ditto's up in the air falling to the end of the platforms, the chain of Ditto's merging back together as the original Ditto's re-merged with his chain, the process being repeated as the final Ditto landed at the end and the chained now fully re-merged with him. "Tadaaaa!" Ditto (1?) Said as he threw up magic hands.
The remaining Ditto's copied his technique and made their way over. The obstacles continued challenging the Ditto's from rope climbing to a flying fox to dodging a canon. Finally making it to the end which was just a pole to slide down back to the bottom, seeing Tetrax and OOM-10 waiting patiently as the Ditto's who had fallen behind caught up.
Merging back into each other until there was only one. "So what huff did I get? puff"
"4:27 impressive for this form, practising this course should help how you perform manoeuvering around the city when on patrol, along with team coordination. " Tetrax informed as he stared at the timer before glancing back to Ditto "Again."
"Again!?"
___________________________________________
After redoing the obstacle Izuku got the time of 3:57, knowing how to deal with the course proving to help greatly. Izuku proceeded to repeat these processes with each Alien.
For StinkFly Tetrax made him carry him and perform extreme Ariel maneuvers. It was fun at first except for when he got tired carrying the heavy crystal man, causing them to unfortunately collide into the ship wall...ouch
Next up was FourArms.
"What are we focusing on?" Asked the tall red Tetraman.
Tetrax smiled as he stared at the muscled-up form. "Hand-to-hand combat" was all he said before rushing his way towards the behemoth, with a great leap he smashed his fist across the Tetramans jaw.
"GAH!" 'So much for a warning!' Fourarms thought turning around and using his momentum to swing his right arms in the form of a powerful backhand towards Tetrax's head only for him to immediately duck under it and counter with a deep left hook to FourArm's liver.
"OOOF!" Grunted out the Tetraman as he had the wind knocked out of him and fell to his knees. Not giving him the chance to recover Tetrax delivered a powerful push kick to his chest forcing FourArms onto his back with a grunt of pain.
"I win" Tetrax said as he looked at the beaten beast.
Letting out an annoyed grunt FourArms gritted his teeth. "Not yet!" Replicating a move he had once seen all might use FourArms clapped his hands together, the sheer strength of his arms forming a shockwave sending a surprised Tetrax flying back and skidding across the floor before recovering and forming a wall of crystal behind him to stop his momentum.
Letting out a smile Tetrax stared at the Tetraman as he made his way back to his feet. "Smart move" Holding his hand out he taunted FourArms by making a motion with his hands telling him to come at him.
"Let's go!" FourArms yelled sprinting towards him with an excited grin across his face. Tetrax himself broke into a sprint towards him, the two met in the middle as Tetrax leapt his fist aiming towards FourArm's jaw once again. FourArms himself brings his hands together over the top of his head to use as a hammer fist of sorts.
"GRAA!"
________________________________________
Izuku sat with a busted lip with an ice pack to his head.
'gaaah I'm so sore' Izuku thought to himself with a groan.
"Perhaps we should have gone a little lighter" Tetrax suggested far far too late, his own face sporting a small crack that was slowly healing. "Who's next?"
With a groan of pain, Izuku dialled up the Omnitrix and twisted it till he got to the next form in line.
FLASH
As the flash of light vanished, Tetrax looked around looking to see what Izuku had turned into...only to see nothing?
"Hey down here!" A squeaky said.
Tetrax quickly looked down seeing the familiar form that had been used to defeat Kraab. "Ah, the Galvan" Tetrax hummed as he crossed his arms in thought.
"Yes with this form my intelligence is increased greatly, what will my training be?" The little alien informed as he looked up towards his mentor. "Perhaps an extremely hard test to test my IQ? Some type of advanced alien puzzle? A riddle of some sort!? The answer to-"
SNAP
The Galvan watched in confusion as Tetrax pulled out his Hoverboard and snapped it in half before throwing it to the floor in front of him.
"Fix it."
GreyMatter watched in bewilderment as Tetrax simply walked away to check on how Uraraka was doing with her training.
"Eh?"
________________________________________
Granted GreyMatter managed to fix it within minutes but still! Who does that?! Letting out a sigh as Izuku made his way back from another workout in his human form, his body aching all over. Looking forward he found Tetrax waiting for him as he examined his fixed Hoverboard.
Looking up from it he turned to Izuku as he put his board back into his belt. "You did well, that was my favourite board so I'm happy you were able to repair it"
"Your favourite?! Why'd you snap it in half then!?" Izuku asked in disbelief.
Tetrax let out a smirk. "If your Galvan form was able to hack someone as cyber advanced as Kraab then I was confident you'd repair it" Tetrax stated before making direct eye contact with Izuku and narrowing his eyes. "Next"
Izuku tiredly pressed the Omnitrix down and once again was swallowed by the familiar green light.
FLASH
Tetrax looked on as the flash of light died down, his eyes widening in surprise he took a step back. "An Ectonurite?"
Tetrax looked on as GhostFreak's unique purple eye squinted before widening again. "Don't tell me your afraid of Ghost?"
Tetrax looked on in annoyance at his assumption. "Of course not, it's just I've never seen an Ectonurite before" Explained Tetrax as he took in Izuku's form."I heard stories of them as a child but never once seen one, the Omnitrix truly is incredible".
GhostFreak looked on with amusement as Tetrax stared at him in awe. "Hehe guess even Aliens enjoy a good ghost story" quipped Izuku as he did a quick spin in the air enjoying the freedom of flight. "So what's the training for me gonna be?"
Tetrax snapping out of his awe quickly focused. "Hmm I'm not sure, I know barely anything of this alien's abilities...well apart from one." Narrowing his eyes he looked on towards the phantom. "Those folds in your skin.."
GhostFreak tilted his head a bit awkwardly for a second before he got what he meant, looking down towards his torso at where he had pulled his skin slightly apart during his fight with Kraab and tentacles appeared from. "Thiss? What about it? It's just some tentacles?"
Tetrax's expression remained serious. "The Ectonurites are mostly myths in the galaxy, but there's one constant in their stories: whoever sees beneath their skin loses their mind to fear." Tetrax stated as he walked towards the ghost and put his hand on his shoulder. "Promise to never use that move unless absolutely necessary."
GhostFreak's eye widened at the information before looking down towards his torso 'Lose their sanity? That's horrible... Why didn't Kraab lose his then? Then again he was looking towards Uraraka as I launched him. Still, that power to beat anyone by making them lose their sanity...that's not the type of hero I wanna be' Looking up from his chest and staring eye to eyes with Tetrax Izuku nodded his head. "I Promise"
Tetrax gave a warm smile and squeezed his shoulder. "A noble warrior indeed" taking his hand off and crossing his arms. "Now time to train, explain what you know about this form's capabilities."
GhostFreak nodded as he told him what he knew. "Flight obviously, Invisibility, Intangibility, tentacles but it requires me to remove my skin." Ghostfreak stated as he was Invisible for a couple of seconds. "Seee?"
Tetrax hummed in acknowledgement. "I see, I know exactly what to do" Tetrax said as he got into a fighting stance. "Try to hit me without getting hit, it should be good practice for your Intangibility."
GhostFreak responded instantly by narrowing his eyes and turning invisible. "This'll be too easyyy" GhostFreak watched as Tetrax sharpened his left arm into a spike and held it to the front of his head. Going behind him GhostFreak went for a quick hit as he made himself tangible. Unfortunately for him, Tetrax used the reflection in his spiked arms to spot the phantom reappearing, responding quickly he turned around and slammed his right fist straight into GhostFreak's gut.
"GAAAHH!" GhostFreak shouted in pain as launched into the floor sliding away. Narrowing his eyes and recovering quickly he made himself intangible once again.
Tetrax once again held his spiked left arm out trying to capture the ghost should he come from behind. Knowing Izuku was too smart to try the same thing again Tetrax lightly tapped his foot to the floor as a small thin layer of crystal expanded from beneath him.
GhostFreak was annoyed he was caught so easily, knowing not to go for the same strategy again, GhostFreak went above planning to perform a death from above type strategy. Unfortunately within his annoyance, he didn't notice Tetrax's new crystal carpet.
Making himself visible and tangible once again GhostFreak made his move as he dropped from above planning to smack Tetrax atop his head. Only for Tetrax to immediately jump a foot back and watch as GhostFreak slammed into the ground "Guh!" Choosing not to let him escape this time Tetrax grabbed the Ectonurite crushing him with a bear hug.
"Smart strategy, but not smart enough" Tetrax informed the dazed ghost.
Narrowing his eyes GhostFreak felt angry, a primal instinct taking over him as he let out a growl of rage letting his instincts win. Letting himself turn intangible, Tetrax was in confusion as the ghost floated into him darkness immediately taking him as he let out a gasp.
Tetrax grunted as he held onto his head in pain, black lines forming around his eyes as he held them shut before suddenly going rigid and standing straight, opening his eyes they shined a bright yet sinister purple.
"EhHeHe HoWs thiS for smart?" A haunting mixture of Tetrax's and GhostFreak's voice asked. Taking control of Tetrax's body GhostFreak experimentally moved his arms and took a couple of steps. "Now this will be fuuun" he stated before slapping his face multiple times. "Does this mean I win?" Chuckled out GhostFreak only to let out a groan as he held onto his head feeling a massive headache.
"Grr Get....Out of my head!" With a final grunt, GhostFreak felt himself lose his control at Tetrax's sheer willpower and was ripped out of him and onto the floor with his own grunt of pain. Tetrax himself falling to his knees and hands huffing and puffing whilst holding his head with one hand.
Recovering he looked towards the Ghost. "You won't do that again," Tetrax grunted out in anger before making himself back to his feet and taking a deep breath to calm himself. "Although I suppose it was a smart strategy...mind control is a powerful ability indeed."
GhostFreak looked on in annoyance before widening his eye realising how disrespectful and evading it was to literally force himself into someone and take control of them without permission. "Sorry... I don't know what took over me, I was...angryyy"
Tetrax looked on understanding how he felt. "It's okay to get angry, what's important is not letting it control you.. and even then I did say to hit me"Tetrax stated as he put a comforting hand on the phantom's shoulder. "Come will go again, I forgive you, just don't do...that, I'm not a fan of not being in control of my actions."
"R-right! Again sorry about that."
____________________________________________
As expected GhostFreak didn't do that well against the experienced bounty hunter, only landing 3 hits out of many failed attempts, though Tetrax stated he did well. After changing back into his human form and working out once again, Informing the exhausted Uraraka of what happened as she walked with him towards Tetrax as she was done for the day.
"Woah so you can mind control people too? So spooky!" Uraraka explained as she thought of what an evil GhostFreak could do. 'Good thing he's not a villain'
"y-yeah I feel really bad about it though" Izuku stated with a sigh.
"Don't worry about it, he said he forgave you" Uraraka smiled trying to comfort her friend. "Gee, I bet your exhausted huh?"
"Exhausted and sore" Izuku said as he lifted his shirt to her and showed his bruised torso from the many punches Tetrax had delivered there.
Uraraka's jaw-dropping in response. "Woah! What is he trying to punch the muscle into you?" Asked Uraraka in fear.
"Something like that" Tetrax's deep voice said startling the teens as they seemingly made it back to him without noticing. "Perhaps will spar soon Uraraka"
"Ehe N-no thanks" Uraraka stated as she stepped behind Izuku poking her head out with a smile.
Tetrax himself signalled for the next alien which Izuku immediately responded by pressing the dial up and swapping through the aliens to the next one.
FLASH
"MY EYES!" Uraraka yelled in agony once again furiously rubbing her eyes from being flash banged by the green flash. "How'd I not expect it?"
"Maybe you're just slow" a raspy voice said.
Uraraka instantly recognised the voice. "Oh XLR8!" Uraraka yelled in excitement pumping her first in the air.
Tetrax's eyes glimmered in recognition as well. "XLR8? Fitting name." Tetrax stated before turning around and walking in the direction of the running course. "Follow" he stated, only to pause as a blue blur rushed past him and stopped at the running course, waving at him. Letting out a sigh Tetrax continued his walk, Uraraka following close behind.
As they made their way to the track they looked on as XLR8 had his arms crossed and tapped his foot at extreme speeds. "So what are we doing? Racing?" Only to pause as he saw OOM making his way to the other side of the course holding a strange device.
Tetrax nodded to the droid who was currently waving at them before turning to XLR8. "We'll be timing your top speed today" Tetrax stated as he pulled out his gun. "Get in position"
XLR8's eyes widened in surprise before his visor came down and he zipped to the start of the track ready to run at a moment's notice.
"Ready..." The word hung in the air, thick with anticipation. Izuku tensed, every muscle coiled like a spring. "Set..." His heart pounded in his ears. "GO!" The shot echoed, and Izuku vanished, leaving only a crack of wind in his wake. Tetrax's eyes widened as a blue blur streaked across the track, faster than his eyes could follow. Did I blink? Before he could process it, XLR8 was back, holding OOM like a prize.
"I think I'm gonna hurl up my circuit units" The droid stated with a groan as he shakily held up the results showing on the device to Tetrax and Uraraka.
Uraraka's eyes widened in disbelief. "Five... hundred and fifty miles per hour?!" She stared at the screen as if it might change under the weight of her astonishment.
XLR8's visor popped up showing his disappointment. "Damn that's still 50 lower than All Might in his prime" The reptile stated with a pout.
"Don't be too disappointed Izuku, that speed is impressive for a Kineceleran. " Tetrax informed with a smile. "Not to mention All Mights been honing his body and powers for years, you've only just begun."
"Hey, you're still faster than almost everyone else. And, besides..." Uraraka paused. He pushes himself so hard... is it ever enough for him? "...you've got plenty of time to get faster!"
"Thanks...but even Hawks is faster." XLR8 said before grabbing OOM. "Let's go again!"
Uraraka bit back a laugh, covering her mouth as the droid's scream echoed, fading into the blue streak of XLR8's retreating form. Poor thing never saw it coming, she thought, eyes twinkling.
_________________________________________________
Granted he didn't make much improvement, but Tetrax said he would improve eventually. Once again in his human form slightly exhausted from another 10-minute workout while the watch charged, he stood before Tetrax, Uraraka giving him a thumbs up from the side.
Tetrax stepped forward. "This is one of the two unknown transformations you have, be cautious okay?"
Izuku nodded as he dialled up the Omnitrix and twisted it nine times to the new unknown silhouette. Uraraka looked on in excitement at the prospect of a new alien to see.
'Please be cute lIke ditto!' Uraraka thought in excitement.
FLASH
A surge of pain shot through Izuku, bones snapping and twisting into new shapes. His muscles stretched and tore, knitting themselves into something tougher, stranger. The sharp sting of scales scraping across his skin made his jaw tighten just as his face elongated, teeth pushing forward with a crack. His vision blurred for a moment, the world swimming in green before snapping into razor-sharp focus.
Uraraka knowing it was coming closed her eyes shut as the green flash died down. Instantly looking up in excitement she froze.
"EEK!" Uraraka screamed as she looked on at the scaly monster before her. "What is that!?"
"A Piscciss Volann" Tetrax informed as he stared at the fish like an alien. "Known for their incredible jaw strength and viscous nature in the water."
Said Piscciss Volann looking down at his new form. "Woah talk about a monster from the deep" a deep raspy voice quipped out.
Uraraka once again let out a yelp. "He even sounds scary!" Stated Uraraka as she hid behind Tetrax's gaunt frame.
Tetrax placed a hand on Uraraka's shoulder. "It's rude to judge someone based on looks, I have a friend who's a Piscciss, real sweetheart."
Uraraka poked her head out before letting out a sigh. "Y-yeah guess your right." Walking out and facing her friend she bashfully rubbed her arms. "Ehe sorry Deku"
The fish man's face lit up with what she assumed was a smile. "Don't worry about it, guess I am pretty fishy hehe"
Uraraka's eyes narrowed. "Was that a pun?"
The fish man bashfully rubbed the back of his head. "Hehe yeah I've been huff trying to practice them, like All might huff youse to do to the villains when he was huff...younger" Suddenly the fish man's hands were brought to his neck as he fell to his knees.
"Deku!"
"Izuku!"
Without missing a beat, Tetrax hoisted the struggling fishman over his shoulder. "Stay close!" he barked, his eyes darting toward the distant pool. Uraraka didn't hesitate, feet pounding the ground as she chased after him, panic rising in her chest.
Uraraka's heart raced as she sprinted behind Tetrax. Her mind whirled. What's happening to him? "Deku, hold on!" The choking sounds sent a bolt of fear through her chest.
The fish man continued to make weird choking noises before he grunted out a response. "Can't huff...Breathe"
Uraraka panicking looked up to Tetrax as they sprinted towards the pool which was a decent ways away, immediately connecting the dots Uraraka's eyes narrowed in determination to save her friend. Smacking her hands on Tetrax's shoulder and Deku's head.
"Float!" Uraraka yelled as the two began floating.
Tetrax panicking for Izuku's health turned to the girl in confusion only to watch as she grabbed his arm and spun in a circle before hurling them at high speeds towards the pool.
"Woooahhhh" Tetrax yelled out, RipJaws just making choking noises.
Seeing them fly towards above the pool Uraraka quickly brought her fingers together. "Release!" Uraraka smiled as the two fell into the water before making her way towards the pool.
Upon arriving she looked on in panic as neither one had resurfaced, before suddenly spotting a dark shadow coming towards the top of the pool.
splash
"Gah refreshing" a now happy Deku said as he checked out the new tail that his legs had formed into. "I'm like a merman"
Uraraka awed at the tail silently thinking of when she was a little girl wishing to be a mermaid. "Haha, that's so cool!...hey where's Tetrax?" Uraraka asked as her face fell realising she just dumped a heavy dense man made out of literal rock into a deep pool. "Oh my god, I just killed our new alien teacher!"
Deku connecting the dots as well quickly got ready to dive down to save his new mentor only to a dark shadow slowly growing bigger. "What the- GAH!" only to be immediately knocked out of the water next to Uraraka as Tetrax came to the top using a giant growing crystal pillar to raise him out of the water and next to the two shocked teens.
Uraraka watched as the Diamond man coughed up water and slowly recovered before he made his way to his feet and turned to her with narrowed eyes. "I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I was just trying to help Deku and-"
"It's alright" Tetrax said cutting off the nervous girl. "You were just trying to help your friend, smart thinking yet amateurish thinking." Stated Tetrax as he let out a sigh. "First you mind controlling me and the next you nearly drown me. You two sure do bring your own very special case of chaos."
Said two instantly bashfully rubbed the back of their heads avoiding eye contact and looking guilty. "It's okay, I forgive you, from these mistakes you'll learn to become wiser," Tetrax stated with a warm smile before turning to the fish. "Speaking of which I have my own apology. I was so used to my Piscciss Volann friend having a breathing devise I forgot he even needed water to survive."
Speaking of which the fish man made his way back into the water once again sighing in relief at being able to breathe. "It's alright I forgive you as well" looking on in wonder as his legs formed into a tail.
Tetrax let out a couch before bashfully scratching his head. "Right...now onto training, this form's most powerful weapon is its jaw, able to rip through most material like a Saber through Bantha butter."
"What'ma butter?" Uraraka asked tilting her head in confusion.
"Jaws huh?" The fish questioned rubbing his large jaw and touching his massive teeth. "That's a good name ya reckon! Jaws!"
Uraraka sweatdropped "Isn't that an old pre-Quirk movie franchise?" The fish man sputtered in response.
"Ehe I guess your right... What about...BigJaws! No RipJaws!"
Uraraka nodded her head "Ooh I like that! That's one your best names yet I reck'on!" Uraraka yelled, a bit of her country accent slipping out in her excitement much to her slight embarrassment.
The now-named RipJaws celebrated by going for a quick dive before launching himself out of the water, Uraraka and Tetrax watching midair as his tail transformed into legs before landing in Infront of them. "So what's my training gonna be?"
Instead of answering Tetrax pressed a button on his wrist which must have signalled OOM, as the teens watched the robot make his way towards Tetrax with a Stange bucket of mechanical balls. Tetrax wasted no time grabbing handfuls at a time before chucking them into the water, where they surprisingly floated. "Those are specific mines used for training in underwater situations, if enough pressure is supplied to them they explode. Your training will be to get them all out only using your jaw."
RipJaws ironically enough could only drop his jaw at such a request. "Are you trying to kill me?"
Tetrax let out a chuckle at the understandable reaction. "Relax, I had OOM-10 dial down the power of the explosions, it'll just be...a really hot pop" Tetrax stated before whispering to the droid. "You did turn the power down right?"
"I believe so sir!"
Uraraka could only spit take at that response. 'he believes so!?'
RipJaws hovered near the water's surface, eyeing the floating mines warily. Only twenty, he thought, gulping. His powerful jaws ached just thinking about the task ahead, but there was no turning back now.
Opening his mouth RipJaws gently picked up the mine with his mouth, moving very slowly he got it to the end of the pool in Infront of Tetrax and Uraraka. "I did it!" RipJaws yelled in excitement as he spat the mine to the floor.
Click
Only for everyone's smiles to turn into one of horror as the mine made a rough drop onto the floor.
BOOM
_________________________________________
Apparently, OOM-10 had only turned the power of the mines slightly lighter than what they usually are, resulting in Tetrax Quickly shooting a wall up protecting him and Uraraka, RipJaws himself diving under the water. What resulted after was Tetrax slapping OOM-10 upside the head multiple times and saying alien words that Uraraka and Deku could only assume were not the nicest of words.
With frantic apologies, Tetrax himself got in the water and recalibrated each mine to the lowest power setting. RipJaws quickly hopped in after to complete his training before the watch timed out again. A few of the mines exploded and as Tetrax said they only slightly burned, once retrieving them all RipJaws made his way out of the water towards the two spectators.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
As the red flash faded, Izuku stood there, rubbing his sore, burnt tongue. Uraraka giggled at the sight.
Noticing her giggle Izuku quickly released his tongue and turned to the Crystal being. "What was the point of that? BBQ fish fillets?"
Uraraka let out a small grin. 'He's really trying with this quipping thing"
Tetrax shook his head. "It was to help you train the pressure you use with your jaw, as I said those jaws are extremely powerful, bite someone too hard in a fight and you'll tear them in half."
Izuku ironically turned as green as his hair as the image of him biting someone in half went through his mind. "Good idea"
Returning to working out his human form for the final time of the day Izuku painfully made his way through it as his body was both exhausted and bruised. Finishing it he made his way towards a Tetrax who was currently fending off questions about space and aliens from Uraraka, seeing Izuku coming to his rescue from her assault of questions he quickly motioned for Uraraka to quiet down.
Looking at Izuku Tetrax let out a smirk. "The final transformation, let's see it" Uraraka nodded excitedly along to Tetrax's command.
Dialling up his final form with 10 mighty twists Izuku stared at his final transformation before pushing the dial down.
FLASH
Izuku instantly felt his skin change as a static-like feeling erupted throughout his growing body, shots of pain erupting from his fingers and the back of his head. The electricity and static in the air creating a tune of sorts for a small couple of seconds.
(https://youtu.be/mw5sDmq2AtY)
Uraraka and Tetrax stared on in awe as the light shined down and showed a tall dark figure with cord-like appendages coming from his head, along with a tail and conductor-like fingertips.
Uraraka snapping out of her stupor quickly ran towards Izuku. "So cool! Now this is an awesome alien! What's he do? Was that music I heard?"
As Uraraka pestered him with questions Izuku took in his form admiring its look and just simply...how good he felt in this form.
"What... am I?" Izuku's voice, now buzzing with static, sounded unsure but powerful.
Tetrax finally stepped forward and looked at the form of Izuku. "A Conductoid, powerful electrical aliens" he informed as he studied the aliens form with interest.
Izuku once again studied his form, moving his tendrils and tail he studied the plugs on them along with his hands. Before his tendrils slightly nudged by themselves towards Tetrax's gun in his holster. "Eh?"
Tetrax immediately understanding what was happening pulled his blaster out from his holster, setting it to stun he immediately aimed it towards Izuku whose eyes widened in surprise as he stumbled back in slight fear.
PEW
Izuku reacted purely on instinct as he held out his hands and watched as the laser was quickly absorbed into the plugs, deciding to follow his strange instincts he held his hand back towards Tetrax, a beam of energy instantly releasing towards him, reacting fast Tetrax quickly rolled out of the way. Making eye contact with each over they both let out a smirk as they figured out what training shall be.
Uraraka watched on in horror as the two literally shotat each other with massive beams of energy, OOM watching next to her holding a bucket of popcorn and wearing sunglasses as he watched the bright beams of energy.
__________________________________
Standing before Tetrax outside of his ship now on the beach, both Izuku and Uraraka groaned in pain at the torture they just put their bodies through, Izuku's more so as he had bruised all over him.
Tetrax gave Izuku and Uraraka a long look. "You're getting stronger... but strength alone won't be enough. There are enemies out there—forces beyond what you've ever imagined. You two need to be ready, understand?"
"Yes!" The two teens replied just as determined as eachother.
Tetrax let out a smile as he stared at them. "You two did well, I'll make warriors out of you yet." Tetrax stated as turned his back to them. "Return here tomorrow after your education, will be going on patrol" Tetrax stated as he walked back into his ship, the ramp sliding back in and shutting.
The teens watched as the ship once again turned invisible. "I'm so sore..." Izuku said with a groan.
"I think I'm gonna puke" Uraraka shakily said holding her stomach, the rough quirk training finally catching up to her once again.
"I think I'm gonna piss blood" Izuku stated with a grimace and groan as he lifted up his shirt and took in his heavily bruised torso and lower back.
The two teens tiredly made eye contact with each other before breaking out into small smiles.
"This"
"Was"
"Awesome!!"
The teens yelled in excitement happily high giving each over at what had transpired today, before suddenly stopping as Uraraka bent and started throwing up literal rainbows and Izuku grunted in pain holding his ribs.
"Ow..."
