“THE WINNER OF THIS YEAR’S FIRST-YEAR UA SPORTS FESTIVAL, FROM CLASS 1-A, IS KATSUKI BAKUGOU” Present Mic screams excitedly as the crowd does too. Pictures of Bakugou appear all over the screens of the stadium signalling his victory. 
   
Fireworks go off as Bakugou is shown in 1st place, Deku in 2nd, and Tokoyami in 3rd. “Along with Tokoyami in 3rd place is Iida, but he had to leave because of family reasons” Midnight announces, which worries Deku.

When it was time to award the medals, All Might appears on the top of the stadium, and jumps down doing acrobatics saying his signature catch phrase, “I AM HERE.”

All Might awards Tokoyami his medal while giving him a hug and some advice. Then, he turned to Deku, who had eventually timed out of the glitching device. 

“Congratulations my boy! You keep on aiming for the top and you get there! You deserve this medal.” All Might places the medal around Deku’s neck, as he promises to win next time.

Bakugou stands on the stage with arrogance written on his face. All Might awards him while saying that he has a lot of potential, and that he looks forward to seeing what else he can accomplish. Bakugou scoffs and says that he'll surpass All Might himself, in which the teacher responds with a laugh.

All Might turns to the cameras and announces, “These are the winners for this year, but remember that anyone here could’ve ended up on the podium. What’s important is to improve, compete, and go beyond. The next generation of heroes is very promising! Now, everyone says it with me… THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK!” The crowd replies “PLUS ULTRA” followed by “ALL MIGHT IT SHOULD’VE BEEN PLUS ULTRA INSTEAD OF THAT” “Well I thought everyone worked hard” All Might laughed. 

The class meets back in their classroom where Aizawa says that there won’t be school for the next two days for the other year’s sports festival. “I’m sure there’s pro heroes who watched you guys that would want to recruit you, and we’ll consolidate it when you get back. So rest well and look forward to that” Aizawa says with zero energy. 

 Uraraka tells Deku about how Iida’s brother got attacked by a villain, and had to go to Hosu City to see him, as he was in critical condition, and Deku continues to worry. Deku texts Iida on his way home, letting him know that he and the class are there for him no matter what happens, and hopes that he’s okay. 

Deku didn't see Bakugou in the classroom, but he knew that he definitely would want answers. 

When he exited the school building, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up when hearing a gruff voice. "Oi Deku."

Deku turned around to see Bakugou standing against the wall. He seemed angry like usual, but not as enraged as Deku would've expected. "You know what I want" Bakugou starts, "Now start talking." 

Izuku takes a deep breath and starts "Can you follow me somewhere?"

Begrudgingly, Bakugou agrees as they walk onto the beach that was once plagued with litter. "So why they hell are we on a beach?" Bakugou growls, but curiosity fills his mind as they approach a crater. 

"This is where I got it," Deku explained while holding up his wrist. "I saw a shooting star here, and after making my wish it changed directions and landed here. I thought it was a satellite, but it was actually this watch. It jumped out of a pod and now it's attached to my skin, and won't come off. I eventually figured out that by using it, I can transform into 10 different aliens. Well, 11 but I didn't know I could unlock new transformations until recently."

Bakugou furrowed his eyebrows, but kept listening. "Today during my fight with Shinsou, I found out that one of my transformations has its own consciousness, and explained the origin of the watch, the omnitrix. It uses alien DNA and injects it into the user, making them turn into the alien. The transportation that was carrying the omnitrix was attacked, so they sent it to go to the strongest person in the universe, All Might. I happened to be in the same area as him, and I got to it first, so now I'm stuck with it forever."

Bakugou stared at the green haired boy for a moment in order to process what he was just told. Deku shifted his feet and put his wrist out to him. "Here, you can transform me if you want." After a moment, he accepted and scrolled through the 11 options that he could possibly turn Deku into.

After landing upon a familiar silhouette, Bakugou smirked and pressed down on the device. 

Bakugou broke down laughing as a seagull chased the small Gray Matter around the beach. Eventually, just like during the finals, the omnitrix sparked and transformed Deku into Upgrade, scaring the seagull away. 

Deku looked down at the omnitrix symbol and then decided that he should head home to figure out how to fix the random transformations. Bakugou scoffed and parted ways with him, but not before saying, "You may have a 'quirk' now, but it's obvious mine is still better… Deku."

After a couple of hours working on the omnitrix while as Gray Matter and Upgrade, Deku extracted a piece of crystal lodged inside. After taking it out, the random transformations stopped. With a sigh of relief, Izuku layed down and drifted off to sleep.
