260Homura ducked and weaved around the blasts fired his way by Izuku, many getting too close for comfort before he dived for cover nearby, firing a few blasts at the teen, which were promptly absorbed once more.
"Ha! This is awesome." The alien chuckled, before shaking his head and his eye narrowed as his more serious side took over. "Thanks for helping me get used to this form first, Homura. I think it's time though that-"
He didn't get a chance to finish as a small device suddenly flew out from cover and Izuku's eyes widened as he realized it was a grenade. Doing the first thing that came to mind, he fired off a blast at the floor and rocketed into the sky, before laughing nervously when it exploded as he realized he was hovering.
'Can- Can I use this to fly?! So cool- Focus, Izuku!'
He dropped back down to the ground, charging a blast up.
"Nice try." He said, before firing off his blast and causing the console he hit to explode, the plumber tumbling forward and rolling across the ground. The man groaned but made no move to get up.
Once Izuku was satisfied the man was incapacitated for now, he turned his attention to the entrance and aimed another blast, firing it before launching off the ground and flying through the smoke.
As he travelled up the elevator shaft, he called upon One for All and felt a familiar fire flowing through him, crackles of energy appearing around him as his eye glowed. His body became coated in a blue energy like substance, his eye the only part remaining it's initial colour.
He shot out the top of the smoke, and felt a whole bunch of energy swirling around him, absorbed from the street lights without even trying as he flipped, coming down to the street.
He smiled wide at the sight he saw, various plumbers all around having been defeated and either encased in ice or restrained with pink light constructs. There were only three soldiers left, staring down Gwen and Todoroki who looked no worse for wear despite the ambush.
Izuku used his energy blast to rocket down near one of the soldiers, delivering a strong kick to their head and knocking them out before blasting another down the street. The final one turned in surprise at his arrival and opted to try to punch him upon seeing he was a Conductoid.
The strike landed but the teen was barely phased. The soldier let out a pain cry as his body began to violently shudder as though he was being electrocuted, before he dropped to the ground.
"Nice work. About time you showed up." Gwen said, sighing as she noted a small chunk of her clothes had been destroyed by one of the plumbers. "Annoying blasters…."
"We should hurry." Todoroki said simply, not even waiting for the other two as he hopped down the hole in front of him, ice forming on his way down. Gwen looked to the alien teen confused, who just shrugged and followed after him.
As soon as he landed back in the room, using the energy beams to slow his descent at the last moment, he looked up and let out an irritated shout once he realized Homura was no longer in place. "Dang it! I knew I should have tied him up."
"Why didn't you?" His heterochromatic friend asked as he took in his new surroundings.
"I knew you two were being ambushed, I didn't know if I had time to waste on that." He explained simply, Gwen floating down beside him. "We'll have to follow him, we can't let him get too far ahead!"
He began to run ahead but before he could get more than a few steps Gwen called out to him.
"Midoriya wait! Me and Todoroki will go after him, you need to focus on the prisoners."
"But-"
"You're our best shot at making sure they listen to us. We'll be fine, ok? So focus on the aliens." Gwen commanded, and Izuku nodded with a small frown, knowing she was right. The three of them came out into a hallway, splitting up as they went.
Izuku headed for the main complex while his friends disappeared down a different path. He burst into the prison area, knowing he'd have to descend a few floors to get to the controls he needed.
"THERE! GET HIM!" A voice shouted, and the One for All bearer looked up to see a group of plumbers getting ready to fire at him. He readied himself with a grin, absorbing the blasts the second they were fired before pointing his hand forward. "Oh crap…"
He fired, instantly dealing with the group of plumbers before he jumped over the railing and flew down to the area with the main controls, blowing the door open and running inside.
Another plumber had been there, reaching for a rifle but a quick strike to the neck combined with his current taser like body instantly downed him. He turned his attention to the main control console and hummed.
"Alright let's see, got to be one of these buttons…. Aha!" Finding the one he was looking for, he could only grin victoriously as sirens started to sound and he heard the sound of various cells being opened. He then pressed down a button nearby, where he spotted a mic and cleared his throat. "Alright then. CALLING ALL THOSE WRONGLY IMPRISONED! MY NAME IS IZUKU MIDORIYA! I'M ON YOUR SIDE, I PROMISE, JUST LOOK FOR A CONDUCTOID COVERED IN BLUE ENERGY AND THAT'S ME! MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE BOTTOM FLOOR A.S.A.P!"
With that, he backed away from the controls and hurried back out into the main area to see chaos. More plumbers were arriving but now all kinds of aliens, some he recognized and others he didn't, fighting alongside one another against their captors.
He aimed a few blasts around, providing quick moments of assistance to the fights closest to him before he leapt over the balcony and twirled in the air, firing when and where he could with surprisingly good aim.
Whether that was One for All or a natural talent of a conductoid, Izuku didn't know. He landed on the second to last floor, a massive group of plumbers blocking the way forward.
"TAKE THIS, SCUMBAG!"
'Really, I'm the scumbag?' Izuku thought slightly irritated, but his attention was quickly brought to the massive cannon-like blaster they had in their grasp. It fired off a massive beam and Izuku barely raised his hands in time, the energy of it all pouring into his hands and leaking back out, adding to the field of energy around his body.
The plumbers seemed to realized they were screwed at the same moment, as Izuku raised his hand and they gulped.
"You know; I really need to think up some names for my alien's super moves. Might as well start now, how does 'Pinpoint Pain' sound?" He asked, his fingers firing off various small blasts that all hit each Plumber separately but with enough power to blast them all back and destroy their weapon, dealing with them in moments. The Omnitrix bearer shook his head with a frown. "No, sounds too dark. More like something Kacchan would call it."
"Hey, are you the guy from that announcement?" A new voice asked, getting the teen to turn and see various aliens approaching, an alien of the same species as Pyroform. Behind her, Izuku spotted various aliens beginning to close in and up on a balcony…
"Yeah, I am." He nodded as he fired a blast at the plumber who thought he'd managed to stay out of sight, knocking him out instantly. When no new aliens showed up he looked around the group that had gathered, noting there was essentially a small armada of them now. "Is that everyone? Seems like a small number for the amount of cells."
"A lot of us…. Don't make it." An alien from a species Izuku didn't recognize said. He looked a lot like a kind of plant though, with a single eye and pods sprouting out of his spine, with tendrils for feet. Izuku let out a small growl before shaking his head.
No point getting overly angry right now, they needed him to focus.
"Alright, everyone pay attention and please, stay calm." He ordered, standing up tall as he let One for All fade away and he heard a familiar beeping sound, the Omnitrix symbol flashing red.
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BWOO.
A red flash engulfed them for a moment before Izuku's slightly shaky human form appeared, his body still recovering partially from having utilized One for All.
"Ah! HE'S A HUMAN! HE-"
"Calm down!" He shouted again, putting his hands up defensively as some of the aliens began to stalk towards him with glares. "Just let me explain, okay?"
They seemed reluctant, but any who wanted to attack him outright were held back by other calmer aliens. Izuku gave them all a thankful nod before clearing his throat and pointing to his watch.
"Alright, first the fact I was a Conductoid moments ago. This is the Omnitrix, it allows me to turn into any alien species as far as I'm aware, though I suppose I am the alien to you all. It also means I understand what It's like to walk a mile in some of your shoes, and as I've been kidnapped before, if briefly… I just want you to all understand I'm on your side." He began explaining, thankful as he watched most of them settle down, though they still seemed less than thrilled. "I get it if you don't trust me, the Plumbers have hardly made a great first impression for humans. I have a friend, Gwen, though who has been monitoring them for a while and we finally had a chance to free you all, hence why we're here now. I know where they are keeping a whole bunch of ships for you to take and use to escape, we just got to get there. So are you all in?"
There was a moment of silence as the group looked among themselves, before a Tetramand sighed and walked forward. "Anything's better than being tortured, so we may as well try it."
Various other aliens voiced their agreement and Izuku fixed them all with a smile, happy he was able to get through to them without too much hassle. Before he could say for them to go however, the Omnitrix suddenly shot out a yellow light, scanning the group at once.
"Hey!"
"What the?!
"What are you doing?!"
"Scan incomplete. Multiple DNA signatures present. Cannot create uncorrupted data." The watch announced, getting its wearer to roll his eyes. 'Of course, because it's not like that would have been useful or anything.'
"Sorry about that. It tries to scan any life forms it doesn't already have in it. I can't stop it from doing it but it doesn't have any real effect on you." He explained, shrugging before he turned to the passage nearby and began to walk forward. "We shouldn't waste any more time, the longer we stand around the more time the plumbers have to try to stop us. Let's go!"
He took off down the hall, the aliens following not far behind. They managed to get a fair few of the halls without any issue until they came across a group of plumbers, who opened fire as soon as they set eyes on them.
Izuku reacted as quickly as possible, calling upon One for All as was timed out and dodging the blasts just barely. He managed to rush one of the soldiers, knocking them out and a fireball suddenly hit the wall near him, exploding and distracting the plumbers long enough for the Tetramand to grab them, knocking them out.
There was only one left, who recovered just in time to duck out the way of the alien and dived for a nearby switch, flicking it and having a steel wall crash down in front of them.
The four armed alien rushed at the barrier, delivering strike after powerful strike but not managing to really do any damage to it.
"Really need to find a way to deal with the timeout." Izuku groaned, knowing he could get through if he could just get access to his aliens again.
"Move." A somewhat out of breath sounding voice asked, and the teen looked to the source only to be surprised at what he saw. An alien that looked like something halfway between a fish, a monster and a mermaid stood there with massive jaws and a lure on top of its head similar to an angler fish. It only had what seemed to be a tail that had come undone to reveal legs covering it's modesty.
Beside him, a bright orange furry alien that was salivating and growling, that had no eyes and was on all fours much like a dog pawed at the ground. The two hurried forward, taking chunks out the metal with their jaws like it was nothing. 'Note to self, never put your head near either of their mouths because holy crap.'
The Omnitrix lit up again, scanning the two.
"Vulpimancer DNA sample acquired. Piscciss Volann DNA acquired." It announced as the two made short work of their barrier, spitting out the pieces onto the ground and leaving the greenette stunned.
"There." The fish-like creature said, clearly struggling to talk for some reason.
"We should hurry, if we have a Volann here especially near me." Izuku heard the alien that resembled Pyroform mutter. 'What did JJ say they were called? Pyronites?' "Looks like our plumber friend has gotten a little further ahead."
Izuku let out a frustrated sigh as he saw another barrier not too far ahead and the plumber had completely disappeared.
"Damn. I can't keep doing that for every door." The fish-like alien muttered in annoyance.
"Hold on, on it!" a new voice, that Izuku could only describe as 'grubby', said. He turned, eyes widening slightly as he saw a rather odd sight. A small somewhat fat green alien with big eyes and buck teeth stood before them, walking up the rubble created by the Vulpicmancer and Volann.
It only got weird when the new alien literally ate the scrap, swallowing it whole with it's somewhat creepy long tongue. With puffed out cheeks and a glowing stomach he waddled forth and spit out an energy blast that destroyed the door.
'What in the…. What…'
The greenette had no idea what to think, mouth agape at the sight. The short small alien started eating more of the rubble again in preparation once more while the Omnitrix kicked to life again.
"Gourmand DNA acquired."
With a quick shake of his head, Izuku turned his focus back to the task at hand and followed the 'Gourmand' as it blasted its way through another door, then another and another before they finally came upon the room they were looking for.
Izuku took the lead at this point, ushering everyone in as he himself took a quick look around the hangar. It seemed to be placed upon a runway, at the end of which the greenette could see the ocean which explained how they'd managed to move the ships here without being seen.
'Isn't Asui's internship somewhere out that way? I wonder if she'll see any of these ships.'
Izuku watched as the group began separating, some heading for specific ships and others forming groups before deciding on one as well, all getting ready to finally depart.
All of them finally safe from the clutches of-
"WATER! NEED…. WATER!" A voice cried out, pulling the teen's attention to the fish-like alien from earlier who collapsed forward, clutching at his throat. "Can't…breathe!"
"Hey?! You need water?" Izuku asked confused, looking up to one of the other nearby aliens who was looking around for a solution.
"Volanns can't breathe for long without training themselves once they're away from water! He's asphyxiating!" One of them explained, panicked. Izuku made to grab the alien, intending to bolt for the water and to drop him in for a minute but before he could…
"Good thing dead creatures don't need air."
Izuku whirled around, seeing Norio holding a blaster aimed straight towards the alien.
Then he fired.
