(This chapter is going to be a little longer than the first three.)

Above Earth, we see the alien warship still undergoing repairs. Inside the bay, the drone looks at the monitor as it beeps. It runs toward the pod containing the injured commander. "Master, the Omnitrix has been activated."

The alien commander says nothing for a moment. He then turns his face to see a shadowed figure.

"Go...retrieve the Omnitrix to me!" He then coughs a little, before continuing. "Kill the holder...if necessary."

The figure then walks off. A pod then ejects from the ship, landing in the beach. Upon seeing the pod that contained the Omnitrix, it disintegrates it. The Mechadroid then turns into a car and drives off into the city to not attract any attention.

School

It's Thursday, and Izuku was getting ready to leave the room, preparing for the U.A. Entrance Exam. He's writing his usual stuff down on a regular notebook, probably to not attract any attention from Bakugo. Speaking of which, the spiky haired jerk hasn't been bullying him today. It's been a day since the sludge villain incident and he seemed to mellow out. Why?

He then flinches as an hand lands on his shoulder. He turns to see that it's Ben. He then calms down, holding his heart to try and catch his breath.

"Hey bud, sorry to scare you like that." 

"Oh, it's fine." He then looks at Ben. "So, you started training yet?"

Ben shakes his head. "No. My teacher needed me to get something for him. How about you?"

"No, I have to do something for my teacher too."

"Well, it must be something important for them."

The two then let out a sigh. Izuku then looks at him. "Well, I can't believe that we're heading to U.A."

"Yeah, me neither."

Ben then lets out his fist. "Well, let's do this together."

Izuku then lets his fist out and they do a fist bump. Ben then leaves the room, waving bye to his friend.

Somewhere in Kiyashi Ward

A man in a brown suit is knocking at the door of an apartment building. It was rundown and not in good shape. The sign on the front of the door said, 'Dr. Animo'.

"Yo! Animo! Open up! I know you're in there!"

Hearing no response, he uses a key to unlock the door. Upon entering, he holds his nose, and the inside wasn't a pretty sight to see. Filthy tanks and cages holding many animals as far as the eye can see.

"Phew! Smells like a zoo in here!"

However, unknown to him, a figure was approaching from behind. As he turns around, he yelps in surprise, disturbed by the doctor's appearance.

Animo appeared to be in his 60s, had pale green skin, long white hair, yellow eyes, and teeth that looked like they hadn't been brushed in weeks. He wore a black shirt and cargo pants.

"HOW did you get in?!" He demanded in a scratchy voice.

The man in the suit adjusts his tie. "Pass key. I am still your landlord, remember? Maybe not because your rent is six months pass due."

Animo then shrugs him off. "All my funds go to my research. Now GET OUT! You're disturbing me!"

The landlord looks around the apartment and is more mad. "Hmm. Looks like you were "disturbed" long enough before I got here pal! Listen here, Doc. The one that is going to be out on the street are you and your furry friends. Now pony up the green." He lends his hand out.
