Ch 1. The beginning of a new legacy
A few notes to start us off...
1. In this story I've made Izuku slightly more confident. He doesn't take peoples shit as much as Izuku in the main story, but don't fret, it isn't too drastic.
2. This is a ben10xBnha story, Incase you didn't you know.
3. I did start a previous story related to this same idea, but I found that I was rushing each chapter. This time I hope to include more detail and depth into my story and, hopefully, make it turn out better then last time.
4. Also, when I post chapters, please don't be afraid to tell me how I can improve my story, writing, grammar etc. It's really helpful in the long run :).
Without further ado, lets get this started already. I present to you...

Deku: The wielder of the omnitrix - Ch 1.
━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━
In the distant future: year 2036...
Earth 1
After saving the universe countless times and establishing peace over multiple galaxies, including his home plane, earth, Ben Tennyson found it was time to give up his mantle of being the universes greatest protector. Yes, it was time for someone new to fill in those shoes, and who better yet than...
"My son," Ben said in a soft tone. "I wonder how he'll react to receiving the Omnitrix." He smiled as he finished wrapping an item in wrapping paper.
"I'd expect similarly to you, and he'll most likely use it as just as irresponsibly," a small, grey frog like creature said just to the right of Ben's hand. "And are you positive on handing off a device as powerful as the Omnitrix to anyone other than yourself?" The frog like creature blinked side ways.
"Ah well, not really," Ben starts, stroking his goatee. "I've had many many adventures with the Omnitrix over the past 35 years I've had it. Every catastrophe, every triumph, it was there with me and I enjoyed every second of it... but that is also why I need to retire from it, I want to give someone else the opportunity to experience these adventures... to be a hero!"
The grey creature responded with a genuine smile. "You really have grown since I first met you, Ben Tennyson. Well who am I to stop you once you've set your mind."
Ben gave a stoic laugh. "Besides, its not like I'm retiring for good. I'll still be around, just not as an alien all the time." They both turned as they heard three consecutive knock coming from the door.
"Well, it seems like they've arrived." The frog creature said.
Ben took hold of the metal object wrapped in wrapping paper with ease. "Thanks again, Azmuth. By the way, did you make sure to install the guidance system and the-"
"Who do you take me for, Tennyson!" Azmuth interjected with an annoyed tone.
"Ah, of course you have, just making sure." Ben took the metal object and walked towards the door. He sighed one last breath as he is about to give his son the universe's greatest weapon for his 10th birthday. He went to unlock the door, but just then, out of nowhere, a blue light engulfed the Omnitrix.
"What!-" before he could even do anything, the Omnitrix vanished from his hand in a blinding flash of azure blue light, leaving nothing but a legacy behind.

Japan: Musutafu
Earth 0
Waking up, Izuku Midoriya's eyes were met straight away with the sun's blinding rays of light. He careened to the side in a cat like manner in order to avoid it.
"Hnnnng~" he groaned, stretching his body all the way out, gaining a satisfying feeling for a few seconds before it subsided. Opening his eyes fully now he noticed why light had reached his eyes. The curtains are up. "Mom must've opened it." He concluded.
Anyways, he got up and started to get ready for school, going through his usual morning routine. Taking a Shower, brushing his teeth, putting on his school uniform and then finally, breakfast. His stomach had been rumbling throughout the whole time as the savory smell of bacon and eggs covered the whole house.
He yawned as he came to the kitchen and sat at the breakfast table.
"All right, here you go, Izuku," Inko, his mother, said as she served him his breakfast. "Your favorite, blueberry Pancakes, eggs and bacon!"
Izuku smiled. "Thanks mom." He scuffed down the food, savoring every last bite as each second passed. "So good!"
Finishing, Izuku plopped the plate over to the sink and hurriedly ran out the door, since he was slightly late, and said bye to his mom.
Now came in the part he hated the most, school. He sighed in contempt as he made his way there and thought about what day it was. Today was the day that his high school of choice would be addressed as it was his final year in middle school. He absolutely dreaded the thought of what everyone was going say and do once they heard which school he had applied to. He almost wanted to stay home in fact, but he didn't want his mom to figure out he was being bullied. He just didn't want to get her involved.
Arriving to school, Izuku quickly took to his class desk without making any eye contact with the students. He slumped down and covered his head as he waited for the teacher.
You'd think that living in a society in which super natural powers called "quirks" are normal would be anyone's dream come true. Flight, super strength, super speed and more, all these once thought to be fictional abilities had came to life as humanities next step in evolution. Unlucky, however, Izuku and the remaining 20% of the population had no such abilities, they were dubbed, "quirkless". And just because of that slight difference, that lack of a certain gene, he and quirkless people alike garnered segregation and discrimination in their day to day lives. Even in places such as school, which is why he wasn't trying to get noticed by his peers. For a while it was working, they were too invested in chatting with their friends to even notice his arrival. Izuku enjoyed the peace, until...
"Oi, Deku!" A voice barked, causing Izuku to stiffen in his seat. "Up here freckle face!" A hand slammed down at the front of Izuku's desk, startling him to a jump.
"H-hi Kaachan..." he nervously greeted, looking at the blonde haired boy standing in front of him, noticing his smug smile quickly shift to a frown.
"How many times have I told you, Deku, my names Katsuki Bakugo, not some dumb nickname you gave me when we were kids. I'm not your fucking friend anymore you get that through your thick skull?"
Izuku winced. He could still remember Katsuki before... before he his quirk and changed.
Before he reached the age of 4 (when people develop quirks) they were good friends, best friends even, but once the time rolled around, their friendship snapped. All because he had let the complements towards his amazing explosion quirk get to his head. He told Izuku that he couldn't be friends with a worthless quirkless like Izuku. Not just that, unlike everyone who usually kept their distance and mocked him from a far, Katsuki went the extra mile and physically tormented him.
"Loser." Both of Katsuki's goons added from behind him.
Izuku sinked his head down and stopped responding to their usual degrading insults. Finally the teacher arrives and Katsuki and his goons walk to their desks in a swift motion.
Izuku sighed as the lesson began.
"Alright, students, as you all know you'll be graduating this year..." the teacher starts, but Izuku simply blocks all of it out as he stares down at his desk boredom. He hears the class applaud and cheer after something the teacher had said but he takes no note of it. And then hears the words...
"Ah, Bakugo, you've applied for U.A haven't you?"
Izuku's heart started pumping.
Katsuki grinned and jumped on top of his desk, the others watching in awe.
"Damn right I have!" He shoutdd, gaining a few compliments from the class on his confidence which soon turns to anger when he said, "I'm gonna the only one out of all you extras who gets into such a prestigious school like U.A! In fact, you're all just stepping stones on my path to eventually surpassing all might!"
"Yo, did he just call us extras?!"
"I know He's got a cool quirk and all but U.A's still only got a 0.1% acceptance rate and he's talking smack like he's already in!"
"What's that all about, Bakugo!"
As the class started a shouting match with Katsuki, Izuku brung his head down but it is all for naught since the teacher noticed him.
"Midoriya," the teacher began, getting the class to quiet as they turned their heads to look towards the green haired boy, "You also applied to U.A, didn't you?"
"Oh no..." Izuku muttered to himself.
The class froze for a second and then erupted into a loud, crashing group of howls and laughter.
"Him-U.A? I understand Bakugo, but Midoriya!?"
"He's joking right?!"
"No way he's trying to join U.A with no quirk! Do they even allow that?!"
Izuku sunk his head down and covered It with his arms again.
"Could this day get any worse?"
─── ❖ ── ✦ ── ❖ ───
Unlucky for Izuku, it could. After the first lesson the rest were pretty mundane but the day still travelled quick until the end of the last lesson.
"Where is it?" Izuku whimpered, trying to look for his notebook long after everyone had already left for home. It contained years worth of analysis of hero's and hero quirks. Though he was not very physically fit, he worked on his intelligence and strategies which would be helpful in a fight. That notebook was one of those items that helped him do that, and if it was gone...
"Deku, looking for this!" Katsuki's voice bellowed out from the door, waving a notebook at him in his hands. Izuku was slightly startled but he walked over to him and held out his hand.
"Y-yes... Can I please have it b-" Izuku said before getting pushed to the ground by Katsuki. "K-kaachan?-" he then felt the tugging of his shirt collar as he lifted into the air.
"You DARE try and challenge me, Deku?!" Bakugo shouts.
"Challenge?"
Trying not to choke, Izuku replied, "What do you mean? I wasn't trying to-"
"SHUT UP, you applied for U.A and now you think you're better than me even though you have no fucking quirk. I was supposed to be the only one who even applied, and yet... someone like you..." Katsuki grunted before mini explosions began to erupt out of his palms.
"I don't think I'm better than you! Okay?" Izuku raised his voice, " I know I'm not better than you... but I still want to become a hero!"
"Don't give me that bullshit," Katsuki said, throwing him onto the floor.
"Oi Bakugo, relax," one of his lackeys intervened, "maybe he got hit in the head when he was a kid or something!"
"Good one!" Another one laughed.
Katsuki didnt pay attention to the two, instead he exploded Izuku's notebook and tossed it out of the window.
"H-HEY!" Izuku shouted in surprise.
"Deku," Bakugo started as he and his lackeys head out the door, "If you really wanna be hero so badly... why don't you take a swan dive off the roof and hope for a quirk in your next life!" He laughed in snide tone.
"...That's it!" Izuku ran over to Katsuki in a fit of anger, surprising the hot head slightly but he easily dodges his slow tackle and places his palm on his pale face, releasing a few mini explosion which are enough to knock Izuku off balance and force him to crash into a wall.
"Some hero you'd be." Katsuki said as he walks out the class with no interruptions this time.
"Ow..." Izuku whimperd, his face scorched and in pain. "Dammit." He punched the ground. He couldn't do anything back there. How does he expect to protect others if he can't even protect himself?
Groaning, he went over to the window to see where it had landed. Just his luck again, it had landed in a pond. He went down to retrieve the book having not suffered too much damage as his body had gotten slightly used to these daily beatings.
─── ❖ ── ✦ ── ❖ ───
"Great, all the pages are sopping wet..." he muttered in a disgruntled manner, stuffing it in his bag anyways as he's walking home. "I should probably go this way, Kaachan always goes that way..." he decides, taking the longer path home.
On his way he goes through a tunnel path, only to be attacked by a villain in the shadows.
"What?" He tried to say, only for a muffled sound to escape his mouth.
"Hey kid don't fight it." A voice said, shocking Izuku as he flailed about in this weird green substance that had entrapped him like a fish out of water. "It'll be easier for the both of us if you just let it happen!"
The slime-like substance filled Izuku's lungs to the point where He was losing oxygen. He tried to scratch to rip the slime off of him but it was no use. He was going to die. He could already feel his consciousness diminishing, his vision blurring and the only sound passing through his ears at that point being a very faint, "smaaaaash!".
He blacked out, only to wake up a few minutes later,
"Hnghh where am I?" He murmured as he waited for his eyes to adjust. All might was holding him. All might was...
"ALL MIGHT" he squealed, realizing the number one hero, All might was so close to him. The blonde, western looking super hero, sighed in relief.
"Glad you're okay citizen!" The heroe's voice boomed.
Izuku was literally going to explode at this point. "C-could you p-please sign-"
"I already did, citizen!" All might said as he handed back his notebook to him with his autograph written written on the cover. All might finally put him down.
"Oh my god!!!" He wanted to squeal out in glee. He couldn't believe his idol all might was here. Without him he probably never would've pursued heroism. His immense strength and always smiling attitude during any crisis inspired him when he was younger to strive and become someone just like him. Someone who could save anyone from any danger with a smile on his face.
"Ah right! I have a question I've wanted to ask!-" He remembered, only to look over in panic as All might began to squat down.
"Well, Goodbye young citizen and stay safe!" All might announced before jumping up way into the air, cracking the ground beneath him and creating a mini hurricane. Gliding through the air with ease, the number 1 hero felt something weighing down slightly.
"What- THAT KID!" All might panicked, looking directly at Izuku who was holding him tightly by the waist as they soared through the air. "I need to drop him off somewhere before my time runs out..."
─── ❖ ── ✦ ── ❖ ───
"What where you thinking latching on to me like that?" All might scolded after landing on a building rooftop, "One wrong move and you could've died! Please don't do such things again, young man."
Izuku bared his head down in silence.
"Fanboys can really be excessive sometimes," All might walked off to the edge and bid Izuku goodbye again.
He wasn't going to let him go this time, however. Unfolding all his courage, Izuku yelled out to his idol, "All might, I have an important question for you!"
"I'm sorry but I really do have to get going." The blond hero explained as he got ready to jump.
"PLEASE," Izuku begs, final getting his attention, "Can a quirkless person like me can become a hero!?". All might stopped and turned to look at the boy.
The number 1 hero, upon looking at the boys determined eyes, really wanted to say "yes." At that moment. He wanted to tell the kid he could do it as long as he worked hard and set his mind to it. But there was a blaring harsh reality that played in his mind like a siren. The world doesn't pity you. Neither do villains. They don't care how weak you are, they will still decimate you to shreds with all of their power. Being a hero is a dangerous job after all. even he, the number hero has experienced near death countless times, every hero does, but the difference is most if not all have quirks to help in their endeavors. This child doesn't. He doesn't want to be the cause of death for a valiant young boy. His usual heroic smile diminishes as he turns to tell Izuku the cold truth.
"No. You can't become a hero without a quirk," he immediately regretted those choice of words when he saw the determination turn into a hollow, devastated face.
Those words rung in Izuku's head like a jackhammer. "I can't become a hero...". He gripped tightly at the handles of his bag. All his life he'd been told he couldn't achieve his dream because he was quirkless,and yet, he still had a slim shred of belief that it wasn't impossible. But now he didn't know what to think. All might, his idol had just shot down his dreams himself.
"It's too dangerous of a job, but don't lose hope!" The hero exclaimed, "you can still become a policeman. It's a safer job and they do just as much as heroes to help the lives of others!" All might sighed when he only received a slow nod of understanding. "I'm sorry..." he finally jumped off the roof and was out of sight within just a few seconds.
"Nobody believes me..." Izuku clenched his fist. "Why did I have to be born quirkless?". He pitied himself, really, to be born into such a world only to have his dreams crushed. It sucked.
─── ❖ ── ✦ ── ❖ ───
Landing in a Barron alleyway, Yagi Toshinori, or more widely known as All Might finally transformed out of his heroic state. A cloud of mist erupted from his body. What came out, as the cloud dissipated, was a skeletal looking man who couldn't pass for a healthy looking hero, let alone a healthy adult. The man bared a hollow resemblance to the esteemed hero, although his muscle size and anorexic-like body quickly deterred anyone's thoughts about the possibility that they could be linked. The mans gloomy, frail hair was but a failed copy of All nights luscious, strong blond hair. His face was no better, his heroic smile gone and replaced with a grim frown and his eye lids were darkened as a result of overwork. Coughing up blood, the man began to trod out of the alley with plastic bag held in his right hand.
"Ah, I should've said something else to the boy... but If I stayed for longer my secret would've been revealed..." the now average man brooded, walking down the street as he was on his way home.
What Yagi had been unaware of was that the special container he used to contain the sludge villain had been accidentally dropped when Izuku had unceremoniously latched on to him earlier.
─── ❖ ── ✦ ── ❖ ───
In another alleyway, Katsuki and his lackeys walked around, creating a ruckus in the neighborhood because of Katsuki creating explosions every now and then.
"DIE!" Katsuki shouted, exploding a garbage can to bits with his quirk.
"Woah Bakugo, I know you're pissed off at Izuku but chill..." one of his lackeys said, stiffening up when Bakugo turned towards him with sneer plastered on his face.
"Eh? You trying to take Deku's side huh fuck face," Bakugo growled, startling his lackeys, "Dont try that shit on me got it, fuck faces?"
"Yo what the hell is your problem man? You don't have to say-" Another one chimed in.
"Shut up!" Bakugo shouted, kicking a weird looking open can that was on the ground.
They both sighed contemptuously. Why were they even hanging out with this guy?
"Dude, you said this guy was gonna make us popular, but now everyone's just scared of us," one of them whispered, pulling the other back. "Plus he's treating us like shit!"
"I know- but.. just bare it all right? He's gotta cool quirk so we're bound to attract peoples attention if we're friends with this guy." The other replied.
"Yeah, "friends."" The other mocked. "Fucking he- Hey man? What the hell is that thing?" He was shaking now as he pointed right above Bakugo's head.
"What are you talk-" the other froze right as he turned to look. Right above Bakugo's head there was a...
"SLUDGE MONSTER!" They both shouted in fear before booking it the opposite direction.
Before he could even react, Bakugo felt something... slimy envelop his body.
"I was watching your quirk back there, kid, it's perfect. Now to just take control of your body... I'll be unstoppable!" The villain laughed, digging his tendril like slime appendages into Bakugo's mouth.
"...!" Bakugo began to panic, releasing explosions from his hands only for the sludge villain to redirect them. "GET OFF ME!" He tried to yell, only coming out as a muffled "MFFM".
"Damn are you persistent!" The villain said, getting pushed into the streets by each explosion's recoil . But because they went off into the streets, Bakugo's explosions could cause much more collateral damage. Not soon after the city was set ablaze and citizens were forced to evacuate.
The shrill screams of everyone caught one particular person's.
"Dammit, of course I've already reached my daily limit!" Yagi said to himself, clutching a pole as more and more people began to surround the scene. Luckily enough, heroes soon arrived at the spot, telling every individual to back off as they handled things.
"Ah, help's arrived!" Yagi was relieved but he realized that now it was only a matter of how they were going to attack the villain without hurting that child.
─── ❖ ── ✦ ── ❖ ───
"F-fire? A villain attack?!" Izuku concluded, taken aback by large city fire he had stumbled by as he was walking back home. "What kind of villain caused all this damage!?" Running towards the scene, he scuffled past the crowd to gain a better view. That's when he saw him...
"BAKUGO?!" He yelled in surprise, trying and failing to get his childhood friend's attention.
"Step back!" A voice ordered from behind him as a pair of hands gripped him and yanked him backwards. "Be careful, kid! If you get too close you might get injured! Just stay behind us as we try to asses the situation." Upon turning around, Izuku recognized the hero. It was death arms, a pro hero with super strength. As much as he admired him, he just couldn't begin in to fanboy in a situation as dire as this.
A moment passed and nothing happened.
"H-hey? Why aren't they doing anything?" He thought, waiting for the to even move an inch. But they just stared at Bakugo the whole time he struggled. More time passed. "Why isn't All might here yet?... What's going on!?" Izuku was getting more and more frustrated as Bakugo's pleads for help got louder and louder.
At that moment his heart was jack ha,merging at a million beats per second. He was sweating from the heat and was looking around hurriedly. No one was doing anything? Gritting his teeth he remembered All nights words from earlier. "You can't become a hero without a quirk."
It ringed in his head again, but his body had already made its decision. It didn't matter what All might had said, If no one else was going to be a hero, then he would. Even if it meant doing something as stupid as running into a situation such as this with no plan whatsoever.
"Ah! You're the same brat from before!" The sludge villain roared.
"Yeah! W-what about it!?" Izuku stuttered, ignoring the heroes trying to call for him. Running towards the villain he took off his backpack, spun around before throwing it dead smack in the villains eyes.
The villain groveled out in pain, giving Izuku just distraction needed for him to jump on and begin to rip Bakugo, who could only grunt an inaudible sound at that moment, out of its clutches.
"That child!... he's the same one as before!" All might recognized, "He's quirkless isn't he? And yet he still went out to save that young man in danger!" All might clutched at his heart. He smiled.
"What am I doing here... I need to go and help them. I still have some strength to transform one more time!" Inspired, Yagi took to his took to his hero form.
Izuku realized that he was not getting anywhere swiping at the villains body aimlessly. And time had just ran out as the villain recomposed himself, lunging towards him, about to engulf him once more. And for the second time that day, by miracle, he heard All nights famous catchphrase, "I am here!" Followed by a thunderous, "DEEETROIIIT SMAAAAASH!"
All might, making sure to only target the villain, punched with the strength enough to create a strong wind which almost pushed everyone in the area off their feet. The villain, however, splattered all across and released Bakugo and Midoriya from his clutches.
There was a moment of silence... the crowd then bursted into cheers and chants that thanked and called All might. This time, right before his power faded away, he picked both the teens up and turned to Izuku.
"Thank you." He said, confusing the freckled boy as he asked what he was thanking him for. He simply smiled and carried them off to the crowd before jumping away in a heroic manner.
"The kid had guts," All might thought. "Hes a lot like me... If I hadn't already chosen a successor, he could've been a strong contender..." he quickly soared through the sky and was out of sight within just a few seconds.
Izuku, breathing hardly saw Bakugo quickly be rushed to the ambulance, noticing that many people within the crowd were praising him for his quirk.
"To be able to do that much damage!"
"I know, that's impressive I have to say."
"Yo that kid would be an amazing hero with just that quirk alone!"
What? Why were they praising him even though he had caused so much destruction? Nobody was paying any cent of attention to him and yet he was the one who...
"IDIOT, WHY DID YOU RUN IN THERE WHEN WE TOLD YOU TO STAY BACK?!" Death arms scolded, "DO YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT WAS? YOU COULD'VE MADE THE SITUATION A WHOLE LOT WORSE BY GIVING THAT VILLAIN ANOTHER HOSTAGE TO HOLD!"
Izuku's heart stopped at that point. As if in unison, all heads turned to him with disgusted looks on their faces.
"That guy... why was he trying to hinder the heroes?"
"If All might hadn't arrived he would've been a goner."
"He really had a death wish didn't he?"
Why are they... why are they talking about him in such a way? Why was he getting treated differently?
"HEY KID ARE YOU LISTENING?"
Why was any of this happening? Why did he always have to get treated this way?
"Why?" He cried, softly, tears going down his cheeks.
"What was that?" Death arms responded.
Gritting his teeth, Izuku couldn't keep it bottled up anymore.
"YOU DON'T GET TO TALK! YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BACK THERE! NONE OF YOU DID! WHEN SOMEONE WAS IN DANGER YOU JUST STOOD BACK AND WATCHED AND NOW IM THE ONE IN THE WRONG? YOU- YOU SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO CALL YOURSELVES HEROES!"
Everyone went silent. Covering his mouth, Izuku ran through the crowd, regretting every single word that had come out of his mouth. Especially to a pro hero. He ran back home, wiping off the tears on his face as they continuously dribbled down.
─── ❖ ── ✦ ── ❖ ───
"Hi mom," Izuku greeted.
"Oh, Hi Izuku! How was-" Inko said before Izuku rushed by her to head into his room. "...Your day..." Inko followed suite, sensing straight away that something was wrong. She knocked on his door in worry.
"Izuku?"
"Yes?" Izuku responded from inside.
"Is everything okay?" Inko asked. There was a slight pause but Izuku responded again with a "yeah."
"I just... I just need some space right now.."
Inko didn't take another second to press any further. If her child wanted space she would give him space. She left the door and hoped his mood would brighten later on. She even heard it in his voice. It didn't usually crack like that when he spoke. She really couldn't bare to have her son in such a sad feeling.
In the his room, Izuku stuffed his face into his pillow and took the time to rethink what death arms has told him earlier.
"He was right..." he mumbled to himself. "He was right about everything..." he now agreed with Death arms' argument. He really could've made the situation worse... But he let his emotions get the best of him that time. He wasn't thinking straight and he regretted it. Today had been an absolutely dreadful day, Izuku summarized.
Opening his bag, Izuku took out his notebook and threw it into the corner of his room in frustration. It's not like he needed that thing after all... he had spent years working on it for nothing.
Everyone is not born equal. Today had really just harshly made this more apparent for Izuku. He turned towards the sky as it began to turn to night. Stars began to appear in the dark blue sky. He took the moment to wonder.
"How different would my life be if I had some kind of quirk? Some kind of power? I-..." Clecnhing his fists he banging them on his wall. "I just wish I did. I Just wish I could fulfill my dream... to help people when they needed it the most... to be a person who can save..."
Just then an azure blue light encompassed his room. Startled, Izuku shut his eyes, waving his hand aimlessly.
"What is that?" He grunted, opening his eyes as the blue light diminished, leaving a strange... present in the middle of his room. It was covered in wrapping paper from what he could examine. Trodding over, being curious, he started to unwrap the paper. Beneath the paper, some kind of spherical metal object was the first thing Izuku saw and to his surprise... It opened.
"Woah!" He gasped, "Is that a watch?... How did a watch just appear in my..." he trailed off, engrossed in the device laying inside the metal sphere. The device resembled that of an obscenely large wristwatch, with a primarily black and grey color scheme. four white tubes trailed out to the outer ends of the circular dial, located in the middle of the device, which had a green hourglass-like shape on it.
"What the..." he mumbled, stretching his hand out to grab the glowing device. As he did so, it leaped on to his left wrist, firmly attaching itself to it. Izuku jolted up in shock at its sudden movement.
"DNA sample fail..."
A voice... Izuku's voice had just come out of the weird device, bewildering him even further.
"Seize the Omnitrix or be destroyed."
"D-destroyed?" Izuku laughed nervously, "w-what does this thing mean by-"
"You have failed to compromise. Self destructing in 10..."
Izuku blinked and another second passed. He froze up trying to take the words in. This had to be some kind of joke- a prank maybe?
"Last warning - Seize the Omnitrix or you will be exploded..."
If he didn't get the message before, that was the last nail in the coffin to set him into a frenzied panic.
"AHHH!"
In the other room, Inko heard his scream and over as quick as possible to see what was going on, opening the door to see him on the floor, struggling to remove something from his left wrist.
"Izuku?- Are you okay?!- Izu-" Inko asked in worry, getting closer to him.
"Stay back, I'm going to explode!" Izuku warned. She didn't get the hint. He was going to explode in a few seconds and there was a chance his mother could be affected by the blast as well.
"E-explode?" Inko copied.
He didn't have time anymore. He looked at his window and then back at Inko. If he was going to die now he didn't want take someone down with him, especially his own mother. The fact that they lived at the top of an apartment complex didn't make his decision any easier, but it was either him or him and her...
Just like earlier, he ran for all he was worth and tackled the window, smashing it to pieces. He started to fall.
"IZUKU!" Inko screeched in a terrified tone.
"5" The device read out.
Flailing about, Izuku continued to bang and bash the device hoping it would do something. He looked down and saw he was quickly accelerating towards the middle of the street.
"OH GOD-" he inhaled.
"4"
His chances of survival were slim if not none. If he could just stop this device from blowing up then maybe...
"Hnnng!" He exhaled, gripping the device with his right hand. With all his strength, with everything he could muster in his muscles, every fiber of his being, he pulled.
"3"
At that moment he didn't care for his arm, he just wanted to get the damn thing off.
"2"
"JUST. GET. OFF. ME!"
"1. Error. Error. Error. Error code: [̲̅0][̲̅0][̲̅0]."
A spark of green lightning discharged from the giant wrist-watch, making Izuku release as it stung his face.
"Self destruct mode deactivated."
He didn't know what he did, or how he had managed to stop the device's explosion, but he knew he couldn't celebrate for even a second. On a closer inspection, he realized he was going to collide with the ground with much higher speeds than he had previously estimated. looking at his wrist he realized the device had ejected its dial out of itself.
"Nothing else to do," he mustered the rest of his strength to slam down the dial, "PLEASE! Do something!"
A radiant green light encompassed his body, and before he knew it, his world...
Had turned pitch black.

Is he dead? Was this the after life? He wondered, unable to see anything but darkness. Did he die on impact? He didn't feel much pain when contacting the ground. What was going on?
He managed to move his arms and legs in an aimless motion. There-Was-Movement. He was alive... HE WAS ALIVE! Somehow...
"Yes!" He tried to yell in triumph, only for an animalistic growl, akin to that of dog, to escape from the depths of his throat. Alarmed, he tried to get up, misplacing his back legs and immediately falling face first into the asphalt again. He barked, again.
"My voice! I-I can't talk?"
"Booting... You have transformed into a species known as a Vulpimancer," his, no, the device's voice said.
Izuku could only answer with an incomprehensible, "GROUGHOWW?" Before the device continued its explanation.
"Vulpimancers originate from the planet Vulpine and are very animalistic in nature and appearance, resembling that of a oversized orange canine on earth. Vulpimancers also do not posses the ability of normal, translatable speech. One major weakness of the species is that they do not possess sight, although its hugely counter acted by their incredible innate sense of smell and hearing."
The voice faded away, leaving Izuku by himself again to process the situation. "Transform?... what did it mean by that? What is a Vulpimancer? Blind? Incredible hearing and smell? What does this all mean!?"
To further educate you, unknown," the voice booted up again, "I am the Omnitrix. I posses the ability to transform my user into a multitude of aliens scattered around the universe, each with their own abilities and powers, so to speak, that you must learn and master, Unkown."
That's when it hit him. The weird watch, the ejected dial... when he pushed down he must've- no- it's not possible... no. - unless...
"So is it a quirk? Do you give me the the quirk ability to transform into aliens? " Izuku asked.
"Not exactly, but," the omnitrx responded having somehow read his thoughts. "Based off the perimeters of your intended thoughts, you could link it something like that. Now, Unkown, it is time for you to experience your very first transformation by yourself. Good luck."
The voice diminished once more.
"N-no way..." Izuku grinned, beginning to get up from the ground, "I-I've got a quirk! I've got a quirk!" He barked happily, getting up with more ease as his mind adapted to his new quadrupedal body.
"The dev-Omnitrix said I transformed in to a Vulpimancer," Izuku recalled, "And that I was blind. Of course my other senses would be heightened but to what degree? How would it make up for literal blindness?" Roaring and growling, Izuku decided to test it out.
Firstly, hearing. He already noticed its effects the second he transformed, but now that he was actively trying engage in it, he noticed his hearing had amplified by quite a large margin. Footsteps, birds, cars, people, the neighborhood- he could hear everything as if they were right next to his ears. But he still couldn't "see".
So, secondly, he inhaled and immediately... He could smell everything. And by everything, I mean everything. His hearing may have been largely, but his smell... It was increased exponentially! He could smell everything in the city! His nose,well noses as he realized when he had inhaled, at the sides of his neck were exposed to all All new smells. Good ones, bad ones, it made him disoriented for a few seconds. Shaking his head, he registerd the fact that he could- see. Well, it was quite a different type of sight then he was used to, but he could still see!
Taking another whiff, Izuku noticed a familiar scent.
"Mom!" He recognized, taking off towards the apartment complex entrance. He was light on his feet, infant to light- he was traveling much faster than he normally did. Half way through is dash to the door, a flash of red light encompassed him, reverting him back to his normal form causing him to fly through the air before crashing and skidding on the ground him because of the momentum.
"AGH!" He groaned in pain, his vocal speech having suddenly returned to normal. Still readjusting back to his normal vision, he looked up to see a blurry person coming in through the door in a hurry.
"Izuku! Izuku!" The person groveled, "Please be o...Kay..."
"Y-yeah," Izuku coughed, "I'm... fine...". Letting his eye lids droop down, he thought to himself, "This day... was hectic..." before losing consciousness.
