Bit of a long chapter here guys I hope you enjoy
Narrators point of view
To say that the guardians of the globe were in shock would be an understatement each one of them was a great hero in their own right they had faced countless villains by themselves and won every single one but none compared to the monster that that they witnessed coming out of the ground
The giant towered over them his muscles like boulders it's very presence was intimidating. The slightest flinch from the giant caused all the guardians including Eve to be on guard.
Izuku on the other hand was still terrified, but he was confused he remembered gigantomachia he was loyal to all one so why is it that the loyal henchman/bodyguard of the Demon Lord would want a new master pacifically with his old masters arch enemy
They didn't have too much time to think about it, though danger sense went off as the behemoth raised his arms in the air and smashed them into the ground, causing the heroes to be blown away by the shit impact as rocks were flown at them
Monster girl turned into a monster form, but even that didn't save it from getting beaten up a bit to shrink shrunk down which only made things worse. She was nearly blown away like a kite if it wasn't for black Sampson catching her in the mix that he flew up Robot lost an arm and Kate... She went through six clones just to survive the initial impact
Only for the beast to start crying his eyes out
gigantomachia yelling at the top of his voice through his tears:! You promised me a master who was strong and I don't wanna question you my friend you freed me but... He's too weak to deserve this!
Black Sampson: hold on... it's Crying?
Izuku: it's not an it it's a he known as gigantomachia he's awful one's biggest fan and his bodyguard!
Monster girl in her monster form: you're telling me this is giant crybaby is a bodyguard! To the Demon Lord!?
The giant continue to cry like a baby having its first hissy fit, allowing the guardians to get back together
Eve: izuku what do we do?
Izuku go but tried putting on a brave smile: I don't think there's anything we can do... It took an army of heroes to take down gigantomachia and even then that took nearly an hour and a half but even with that it only worked because my friends managed to force feed him some drugs that slowly wear him down until he fell asleep... Right now we're looking at him at full strength and there's not even a handful of us
Kate duplicating herself already feeling like this was going to be a long and traumatic day: then can I ask why the hell are you smiling?!
Deku started moving his legs and repeated fashioned to build up energy: because we still gotta try anyway!
He leaps up towards the giant and kick him around the head using the built-up energy he had only thought to have... Very little effect
gigantomachia Stopped crying if only for a moment: good... But not good enough!
The giant waved his hands almost flattering izuku if it wasn't for even using her powers to shield him at the last second allowing him to get away
Izuku: thanks Eve I owe you one
Eve: forget about it you've saved me considerate just returning the favour
Robot: this giant is beyond us I recommended strategic withdrawal
Kate: I usually don't agree with retreating without a fight but in this case I'll make an exception... This thing is unbeatable!
Izuku didn't like agreeing with that, but he saw no other option. They were wilfully unprepared to take on this giant.
He remembered the aftermath of gigantomachia last rampage he destroyed countless cities that were in his way he just kept marching towards his target and he knew the same thing would happen here
But before the young hero could tell his new team that the monitor appeared in front of them completely unfazed by the crying giant behind him roaring in the sky: that would be unwise Kate... hello Deku, you seem to have run into some trouble
Izuku: yeah and I have a sneaky suspicion you were behind this what is this now Another trial?
The monitor: not exactly... but please allow me to finish explaining this to Kate you see this giant has multiple powers in his body. One of them is a tracking quirk. If you were to leave right now he would just follow you. It wouldn't matter if you cross the ocean gigantomachia would just follow you he would cross the ocean to find his target and I don't think you want this creature appearing in a populated area of the coast
Shrink: so no escape from him!?
The monitor: exactly he has incredible speed and stamina and with his body he can survive multiple quirks without going under any modification a few years before deku predecessor weak all for one the Demon Lord hid his most trusted lieutenant away to wait for his successor to arrive however when his successor did arrive and he proved his loyalty to the giant and the first sign of trouble he abandoned the loyal subject and now he's in the job market for a new master... And I have recommended you deku this is your gift
Eve using her powers to create energy beams in her hands: call me crazy but this doesn't seem like a very nice gift
The monitor: that is quite right to Eve gigantomachia is loyal that's what left him down the path of despair you see before now he was betrayed by someone he kept very close to his heart and now his recommendation new master doesn't quite measure up to what he hoped for which has left him quite in despair.
The giant had finished with his hissy fit and was now charging towards the heroes tears still falling from his eyes
Eve pouring all the energy she could into her hands: so you're saying we gotta make this big baby like us!
Eve unleashed all the energy she had built up in a straight being the rampaging giant it made him stop for only a second when it made impact and for a moment eve let out a breath of relief only for gigantomachia to continue charging through the energy beam
gigantomachia: good... but not good enough either!
Kate: well that didn't work at all
The giant continued to charge in the monitor could see that he was going to get nothing out of this challenge. At the moment. He snapped his fingers and gigantomachia fell to the floor and started hugging a radio
The monitor: I modified his radio to send signals that only he could hear that would relax his brain. I knew it would calm him down.
Izuku: thanks... Not sure if I should be giving you that since you're the one who brought him here and what do you mean? You've recommended me as his new master? I'm not working with him
The monitor: are you sure he could be quite useful to you and he is renowned for one as a matter? Fact he's rather angry at the Demon Lord for leaving him behind his anger could be a great weapon to you in the future
Izuku: don't try to sweet talk me yeah I know he could be useful, but I'm not going to enslave him to serve me
The monitor: I can see that this will take a bit more convincing perhaps we should talk somewhere else one second
He snapped his fingers and all of a sudden the guardians of the globe eve and deku weren't in Africa anymore they were somewhere else it looked like space, but it wasn't. There was no stars. There was just darkness with a few small bits of light.
(just ignore earth in the background and the stars)
The monitor now sitting on a chair a few feet away from the heroes: this is my home where I watch all throughout the Multiverse
Izuku: thank you for having us... while we're here, I wanna ask you a question. You're the one who brought doubler and sniper to this dimension, didn't you?
The monitor: yes I believe they would be great allies for you in the fight
Eve crossed her arms: yeah except for the fact that both of them tried to kill him on numerous occasions not to mention the doubler he's loyal to the villains he's their friend cause him to betray them
The monitor: that is for you to figure out... I've given you all the gifts you need but this one you'll have to fight for. I need to see some improvement now before I give you your final gift izuku ...
The guardians looking around it the place it was filled with what look like computer screens but we're floating in midair each one of them displayed... A different dimension
Black Sampson: from what I've seen your gifts seem more like a curse
The monitor: I wouldn't agree with that black Simpson but you are free to believe whatever you want. I know how stubborn you can be... For those of you who don't know who I am I am the monitor I see all things in the Multiverse into the matter of fact I know each and every one of you better than you know yourselves... And I have to say you're all so terribly boring well except for izuku and eve they are the only ones that interest me consider me bringing you here. I'm a benefit.
Robot: so we do not interest you yet you bring us here why?
The monitor: mostly because I fear that if I didn't, my champion would think I was having the giant attack you while he wasn't there to help and I didn't want that I want there to be trust between us
Izuku: you want trust stop sending villains my way and what do you mean by a final gift?
The monitor waved his hands and a ball of energy appeared in front of him: this is my final gift to you young hero... It's power unrelenting power but unfortunately I cannot just give it to you. You're still far too weak and as for your allies they are... Too basic except for Eve who seems to not understand the true value of our power
Eve: what are you talking about? I've had my power all my life. I know my limits.
The monitor: oh do you... Well you'll figure out soon enough that it's wrong. You are more capable than you give yourself credit for but you refuse to acknowledge it but back to the topic at hand my final gift
Izuku: you can keep it send us back. I don't want your help.
The monitor: are you sure about that? I know if you're coming back and I can tell you right now that you are vastly unprepared even if you complete that project you're doing this chances of winning is astronomically not in your favour... You don't want my help you desperately need it but I will need some convincing you have improved. I will give you that but what is your new game now that you've discovered how smart you really are changed for you izuku Midoriya
The young hero took off his mask. It was true that he felt something changed within him, especially when he found out that he was a genius and new ideas popped into his head new convictions new theories new ideas and new... Distractions
He looked towards Eve who didn't have a serious expression anymore she was waiting for his response
Izuku looking to the past users for guidance, but they told him nothing. They merely suggested that he should speak for himself: honestly... i've been thinking how did I not know that I was a smart as I was? Why was I always getting bad grades in middle school?... And then it hit me They docked my grades didn't they my teachers I mean
The monitor nodded: yes they did
Izuku almost smirk it how ironic that was he always thought he was nothing back then and now it turns out he was something it's just that people didn't want him to see his high potential: you know it kind of makes sense thinking about it no matter where I go in my mind no matter how far I go back in my childhood there's always those words that follow me... You are nothing... You're just a waste of space... An insect... Go jump off a roof
Eve shocked: izuku
The hero continued: and for a long time I believe them... To the point where I thought maybe I should've just jumped... But something changed I got incredibly lucky. I found someone who believed in me when I was in my darkest moments when I thought there was really no point in living.
Eve:izuku you're not talking about-
The monitor: please let him finish
Izuku: and things were good for a time after that I made friends. I finally felt like I belonged but there was still... There was still something that felt like it was missing. Maybe it was because I still didn't think myself a genius but even now when I feel this way I still feel like there's something missing within me... And I don't think that will ever go away. I feel like something has been taken from me something that I can't get back so it doesn't matter if I defeat all for one doesn't matter if I save the world that missing peace of me will be gone and I'll have to carry that for the rest of my life... But that just makes me think that no one else should feel this way no one else should have to live like I did abused hurt discriminated against! when I found this world I thought it was incredible how similar and yet different it was yet it still has the same problems and I thought to myself how can I fix it? So that's what I'm going to do I'm going to fix the world so that no one else will feel this way no one else will feel as if a part of them was stolen away that's my conviction to make sure that no one else feels like this!
There was about 20 seconds of tense silence until the monitor chuckled: excellent simply excellent that is exactly what I was hoping for... You are a true hero through and through a diamond in the rough you are indeed worthy of my final gift... But unfortunately I still can't give it to you. You're far too weak however there is something you can do with that could change my mind
Izuku: you're talking about the behemoth
The monitor: yes he may be dense but he's quite useful... But unlike me he hasn't accepted you as a champion yet nor as his new master do you catch what I'm saying
Izuku: so in order to get this "gift" I have to earn it and the only way I can earn it is by taking on gigantomachia
The monitor: precisely
Eve got in the middle of the two and pulled her greenhead friend away to regroup with the other heroes: OK I'm just gonna say this is crazy right?
Monster girl back in our human form: oh absolutely this is insane. We're not just gonna fight for this guy's amusement just so he can give some sort of magical gift that might not even be real or we know that's a a disco ball
Robot: I'm not sure what the energy is, but if it's true that deku can tame that gigantic beast he could be a great asset as defence for earth
Shrink: except for the fact they're not even an army of heroes could bring him down. How are we gonna bring that thing to its knees?
Izuku: you won't have to I'll face him alone
Eve putting a stop to this idea: absolutely not you saw what happened last time your kick barely even affected him we don't have to play this game whatever he is he's promising you it can't be worth it. Will retreat and tell Cecil what's going on and he'll send a strike or something there's no one around here so no one will get hurt. This isn't your fight.
Izuku: you're right it isn't but it's too good of an opportunity if I can get the former bodyguard of the Demon Lord to follow my orders it will greatly help us in taking down villains plus what would happen if someone else found him and managed to get him to submit to them... I don't like following what the monitor says but we can't just leave gigantomachia back in Africa and I'm not even sure missiles could kill him or even affect him this might be our only way
Robot: it is risky but his logic is correct. I did a genetic scan of the beast while we were fighting him. His skin is nearly tougher than metal and that's just on the outer side and according to my calculations he wasn't so much as using an ounce of his strength when he separated us during his hissy fit.
Eve: all the more reason for us to retreat izuku you can't take that thing on do you have adeath Wish
Izuku: most of my life, yes but not today this is too good of an opportunity we can't pass it up I can't besides it will give me a chance to get more answers if the monitor and gigantomachia I've spent some time together it's possible that they've talked maybe if I tame him gigantomachia can you give me some information about the monitor? It's a big risk but it might just be worth it.
Sampson: I don't like the idea either but the kids got a point we can't just leave that behemoth for someone else to find and I'd rather not piss him off by sending in missiles and you remember what the monitor said. It didn't matter how far we would run, he would just follow us. I don't want that guy appearing in a city. This might be our best and only chance.
Eve:... Alright, fine but I'm staying with you
Izuku: what eve know it's too dangerous
Eve with a serious expression: okay either I'm staying with you and helping you tame that giant or so help me God I don't care how strong you are. I will drag you to safety. Do you get the picture izuku
The young hero had faced down countless villains and had been scared for his life many times, but nothing scared him more than a pissed off Eve: okay yeah sure... Monitor send us back but send the guardians back to their base gigantomachia he's only interested in me. They'll just be getting in the way of our fight.
The monitor: agreed I imagine that Eve which is to stay with you... That's excellent it might give her a chance to discover her true potential very well off the hero goes to face the beast
The monitor snapped his fingers and suddenly Eve and Eve were back in Africa face-to-face again with the behemoth who was still falling over the radio
Izuku: hello... Are you ready to submit to your new King?
And thus the battle to tame the giant began
Back with the guardians they had just dropped into their base where Rex nearly got started out of his skin when he saw his team
And the rough shape they were in: Jesus Christ, what the heck happened to you guys?
Sampson: we ran into another visitor from izuku world...
Shrink: yeah... I'm never going to Africa again after this
Rex: we could not have been that bad you guys made it back. Wait where is Eve?
Kate completely drained both physically and mental: she stayed in Africa with izuku their...... I don't know what the hell they're doing
This anger Rex he clenched his fist completely misunderstanding the situation. He thought that the two of them were alone in Africa making Kissy face which infuriated him even more.
Rex: whatever... You guys should probably get changed you look like shit
Monster girl: yeah well, we feel like it too. Anything happened while we were gone?
Rex gave out a smug look: nothing at all
None of the guardians noticed not even Rex that there was a small device strapped to the main computer of the guardians of the globe it was around the size of a small plug socket and it was strapped to the side under the table completely out of sight as wires filled in to the computer
In a small cave, a few hundred miles away from the guardians of the globe space sceptic sat at his computer typing frantically on the small laptop
He then let out a grain of success: we're in... Excellent work me and you... Toga
Toga the wild crazy girl let out a grin of pure evil :oh shucks it was nothing at least now I can finally kill that annoying little bastard
Dabi: how are you? Maniac? Not yet we still have use for him sorry but you're gonna have to... Keep talking to him just to make sure he doesn't get too suspicious.
Toga have to annoyed that she accepted it after all none of this would've been possible without Rex's stupidity as well as his need to be liked and to one up people he had no idea that he had just doomed the superheroes of this world
