Transformers: My Hero Academia, Arc 1: Bumblebee

Chapter 1: Discovery

It was a hot and sunny day in Musutafu, a small city near Tokyo, Japan that also happened to be where the prestigious U.A. High School was located. At this prestigious school, young people from all over Japan, and even a few from outside of the country, enrolled there to become the next generation of heroes in a world where eighty percent of the population had superpowers. These powers, known as "Quirks", were considered to be the norm for many people, while the remaining twenty percent of people were born without quirks. These people unfortunately tended to be considered second class citizens by most, seen as unfit in a world where superpowered beings were seen as superior.

And it was here that a green-haired young man known as Izuku Midoriya was currently training… and at the moment, he felt like dying on the hot sands of Dagobah Beach. As it happened, he was one of these "Quirkless" people. But all the same, he dreamed of one day becoming a hero, despite many telling him that he couldn't because of his lack of any power. However, that all changed one fateful day when he had met his all-time favorite hero; the Symbol of Peace… All Might.

The meeting had initially gotten off to a rather rocky start, to say the least. But after an incident with a sludge villain and seeing potential in the teen after risking his life to save another, All Might had given Izuku the opportunity to inherit his own Quirk; 'One for All'. In order to do so, however, Izuku had to prepare his body for it first. And if he could do so in time, the heroic—if somewhat awkward—teen would be able to try and pass the U.A. Entrance Exam, allowing him to get into the school of his dreams and try to become a hero.

And that it where we find Izuku now; training on Dagobah Beach to increase his strength in order to handle 'One for All'. All Might had given him the task to clear away all of the junkheaps that had littered the beach for years, which, as expected, proved to be quite the daunting task. It had been some months since his training started, and he was making good progress, but at the same time, it was still murder on his muscles.

'…But I can't give up.' Izuku thought as he forced himself onto his feet, clenching his teeth as tears began to fall from his eyes due to all of the exhaustion. 'I have to give it MORE than my all if I wanna get into U.A.' He furrowed his brow in determination as he focused on the obstacle before him. He was trying to move a tall, metal storage unit that was in front of a large mound of scrap metal, and he had slipped on the sand when trying to push it the first time. He clenched his fists and thrust his arms toward the side of it again, opening his palms to push on it once more. 'Alright, Izuku, you can do this… I think.'

With all of the strength he could muster, the freckled, green-haired boy began pushing on the storage unit once more, making sure to keep his footing on the sand this time. Surprisingly, after about half a minute of not budging, the unit began to slide across the sand, with Izuku giving out a happy gasp at the sight. 'Yes! Come on, just a little more!'

The more he pushed, the further the unit moved. But as it did, Izuku began to notice something very odd… the mountain of scrap was actually surrounding something, and it was quite a large object as well. From what he could see, it appeared to be a vehicle of some sort. However, the inheritor decided to focus on his current task of actually moving what was blocking the other large object before focusing on that one next. In three minutes time, the storage unit was out of the way, and Izuku let out a heavy sigh as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Glad that's out of the way. Now, what's under… h-here?"

Izuku's jaw dropped at what he was seeing. This… was probably the most impossible sight he ever could have laid his eyes on. It was indeed a vehicle, one that was partially covered by a tarp. But it was one that many would be hard pressed to see in-person nowadays, probably only in an automotive museum if they were lucky. It was a Pre-Quirk car, one that was obviously quite old and rusty… but still appeared to be mostly intact. Its headlights were alright, its chassis was still in place, its body was pretty rusty, but the young boy could see hints of yellow paint in certain spots, and its tires… were all flat, but they were still there. The front of the car appeared to be round and bulbous, and its bumper was just barely hanging on, something that Izuku was surprised by.

"H-How can this thing still even be HERE?!" He said out loud to himself before spinning around and cupping his hands over his mouth. "H-Hey, All Might?! I-I found something that you might wanna come check out!"

"Young Midoriya?!" Came a deep, yet somewhat raspy voice from behind the heaps of scrap. A few moments later, a near-skeleton of a human being appeared, his clothes hanging so loosely from his body that they almost seemed like they'd fall off at a moment's notice. His long blonde hair was quite scraggly and his features sharp and angular, his long skinny arms swinging at his sides as he strode forward. This was Toshinori Yagi, A.K.A. All Might, the Symbol of Peace… at least in his true form. The man locked his beady blue eyes onto Izuku with a perplexed face. "What did you find, young man? Something important, I take it?"

"Y-Yeah, you could say that!" Izuku pointed a shaky finger over to the car and said; "L-Look!"

Toshinori set his eyes over onto the vehicle… and let out a surprised yell, causing blood to splatter out from his mouth. It was something that Izuku had gotten used to seeing, given the injuries that All Might had sustained long ago. "GAAAH!" After letting out a few coughs and wiping the blood away, Toshinori stepped up and set a hesitant hand onto the vehicle, the man in utter disbelief that he was actually touching one of these things. "Young Midoriya, this… this is quite the find!" A smile came to his face as he turned back to his protégé. "Do you know what this is?"

"Y-Yes, b-but I've only seen these in pictures!" Izuku set his eyes on the car once again as All Might pulled the tarp back a bit more, or as much as the scrap covering the car would allow. "It's… i-it's a Volkswagen Beetle!"

"Correct, young man." Toshinori confirmed as he began dusting off the hood of the car. "And I must say… this is in surprisingly good condition! People all over the world used to drive these things around before Quirks, you know. They were quite popular in the 1900's, especially in America and Germany."

"Y-Yeah, but… w-what's one of them doing HERE of all places?" Izuku asked. "And in THIS kind of condition? The metal should've rusted to dust by now!"

All the Symbol of Peace could do was shrug his shoulders. "Who can say? Perhaps it was a restoration piece that had to be constantly maintained and the previous owner was unable to handle the up-keep."

Izuku stepped forward and locked his eyes onto the front of the car, staring into its headlights. It was somewhat of an odd feeling, but… he could swear that the car was gazing back at him, staring directly into his soul. "Do… d-do you think it could be restored? I-I mean, it'd be a shame if we'd have to scrap it."

"Oh, don't even think about that, young Midoriya." Toshinori said as he stepped away from the Beetle, giving himself some good space between him and the car. "I wouldn't even think about scrapping a find like this without seeing if it can be restored. In fact, I have a friend who I'm pretty certain can fix it."

A bright smile came to Izuku's face at this news. "R-Really?! That's great!"

"Indeed, and he lives close by in Tokyo as well, so getting this to him should be pretty easy." All Might waved his hand at his protégé, ushering him to stand clear. "Now, I suggest you take a few steps back, because it's going to take some extra power to get it out from under there!" The Quirk Inheritor stood clear as All Might entered his Muscle Form, the skinny man now becoming a practical titan at seven-foot-two, filling out his baggy clothes. At the same time, his hair became less messy and his two long bangs stood up on end, giving him a more heroic look. An ear-to-ear toothy smile graced his face as it became more dynamic, his eyes being obscured by shadows. Izuku wisely got out of the way as All Might did his thing.

The Symbol of Peace cracked his neck a few times before spreading his arms out to his sides, his palms facing inward. "Tennessee… SMASH!" All Might then brought his hands together in a thunderous clap, whipping up a huge gust of wind at the same time. Much to Izuku's amazement, the whipping wind blew off most of the scrap along with the tarp, leaving the beetle completely unscathed.

"W-Whoa! How did you…"

"Practice, young Midoriya!" All Might said as he stepped back toward the Beetle. "You would be surprised at how handy it is when it comes to criminals holding other people hostage." Then, with one hand, All Might lifted the beetle off of the ground as gently as he could, hoping that no parts would fall off in the process. Amazingly, none did, and he faced Izuku with another nod. "I'll swing by my friend's place and drop this miraculous find off, but when I get back, I hope to see the truck loaded up with more scrap. Think you can do that before I get back, young man?"

Izuku smiled happily and gave the Symbol of Peace a salute. "Yes sir, All Might!"

"Very good!" All Might said with a salute back. "Well, I'll see you in a bit!" With that, the large man performed a mighty leap and practically flew up into the air, still carrying the Volkswagen in one hand.

Izuku couldn't help but beam up to his hero in admiration… but then his smile faltered as he realized he still needed to get more scrap into the truck. He faced the storage unit he had moved, let out a small groan and began pushing on it again, all while thinking back to the Beetle that he had found. '…Why did I get the strange feeling that it was looking at me?'

After that day on the beach, the months continued to pass, and it had transitioned from Summer into Fall before anyone knew it. In that time, Izuku was giving it his all in the training program that All Might had set up for him… and then some. Every day it was work, work and MORE work, be it studying, clearing the beach, exercising, or even EATING the right meals. Izuku barely had any time for himself at this point, but he didn't care. He NEEDED to push himself, otherwise he would never make it into U.A.

And that's where Izuku found himself now; running down a park path while carrying a huge safe on his shoulder. Meanwhile, All Might was in front of him in his skinny form, the skeletal man wearing a rather nice trench coat and scarf as he rode on his Segway. However, Izuku was beginning to feel his overexertion begin to take its toll on him, the teen beginning to feel woozy and disoriented. In the end, he tripped and fell onto his face, dropping the safe next to him with a CLUNK!

This didn't go unnoticed by Toshinori, the blond man stopping and looking back to see the green-haired boy sprawled out across the ground and breathing raggedly. "Hey, hey, kid, look alive now! You've only got three months left until the entrance exams. What're you gonna give up after all this work? Just flush it all down the toilet and take it easy?"

After a few moments with no response and seeing his protégé struggling to at least crawl, Toshinori quickly realized what had happened. "You're overworked." He stated, stepping off his moped to get closer to the boy. "The "Aim-to-Pass American Dream Plan" was made with your body in mind. It was fine-tuned to ensure your progress was swift, but manageable." Toshinori's eyes lightly narrowed as he continued. "Which means… you haven't been sticking to it. You're overdoing things. That's going to give us the exact opposite of what we want."

"I… I HAVE to work harder!" Izuku clenched at the ground he was crawling on, clawing up the dirt with his fingers. "Or else I won't stand a chance against the other applicants!" Toshinori was taken aback by the inheritor's statement, but Izuku continued as he brought his head up. "I don't just want into U.A., I want to excel! I want… to be like YOU!" This made Toshinori's eyes widen, seeing Izuku pick himself up despite how exhausted he was. "I want to be… the greatest hero in the world! So I'll keep trying… until I got what it takes to do that!"

As he witnessed this, Toshinori thought back to the first day he had met young Midoriya, thinking on a certain statement he had said; "I want people to see my fearless smile and feel safe. And be just like you!"

'…Gotta hand it to the kid, he's put a lot of thought to the future.' With that thought in All Might's mind, he buffed up into his Muscle Form and picked Izuku up by the collar of his track suit, holding him up just above the ground. "That fighting spirit's what I like about you, fanboy! It serves you well! I do get your concerns, but that said; now is not the time to rush progress!" He raised a finger and pointed at the limp form of Izuku as the boy simply continued to hang from his own tracksuit. "FEAR NOT! Because I can get you back on track! Leave it to this old man to adjust your plan!"

"You're not an old man… All Might." Izuku managed to struggle out, making All Might let out a hearty laugh.

"AH-HAHAHA!" However, after his brief chortle, All Might set Izuku down, the green-haired boy practically dead on his feet. "By the way, there was something that I wanted to mention to you! I was going to wait until after this training session was over, but I suppose now is as good a time as any!" This managed to get Izuku's attention. "You remember that Beetle we found a few months back?"

The inheritor blinked in surprise. "Y-Yeah, I do, but… wait…" Izuku smiled in excitement. "Has it been fixed?!"

A sheepish expression came to All Might's face. "Well… sort of. My friend says that, for all intents and purposes, the Beetle is one-hundred percent operational. However, he said he had to call in some help for… a few additional things he found inside the car that he hadn't accounted for." He held up a hand and whispered to Izuku. "And he also said that these "additional things" were quite important, and that we should come over to his auto shop so that we could discuss them."

Izuku blinked at that. "Woah, really? Sounds pretty important, then."

"You've got that right, young Midoriya! And, considering how fatigued you no doubt are, we will be taking the rest of the day off to do just that!" All Might crouched down and ushered for Izuku to climb onto his back. "Now come! We're burning daylight, you know!" Izuku nodded and climbed on, though All Might made sure to give Izuku a small warning. "Now, remember what I told you about flying and keeping your face low. We don't want a repeat of last time, correct?"

Izuku couldn't help but grimace at that. The first time that he had sailed through the air with All Might, he had made the mistake of keeping his eyes and mouth open… resulting in his eyelids and cheeks being blown in the wind. It wasn't a pleasant sight, according to All Might. "Yes sir, I know."

"GOOD! Now here we go!" With that, All Might leapt up into the air, making sure to grab his Segway before he did so.

After literally only a few minutes, the 'One for All' user and his student made it to the main city of Tokyo, where All Might immediately let a shaking Izuku down from his back. "And here we are! And good job, young Midoriya, you stayed pretty steady the whole way!"

"Y-Y-Yeah, I-I sure did!" Izuku stuttered as he continued to shake like a leaf. However, once he noticed where they were, he blinked a couple times in confusion. He glanced around to see that they were on a small back street in the middle of Tokyo, though he could see the busier sections of the city just beyond the nearby buildings. "W-Wait, where are we anyway?"

"Take a look for yourself!" All Might gestured in front of them, indicating a large building with two garage doors on its front.

Izuku craned his head up, noticing a sign over the two garage doors that read in kanji; "…Hatsume Auto Repair?"

All Might gave Izuku a light pat on the back… which still ended up making the feeble teen trip up a bit. "Yep! The friend that I mentioned runs this business. Come on, he should be waiting inside." The Symbol of Peace ushered his protégé through the front door and into the main lobby, where he lifted his hand to his face and called out. "Yo! Yusei, where're you at?!"

Not a minute later, and a man in navy blue, grease-stained coveralls came strolling through the door behind the front desk, his gloved hand going to the brim of his red cap to tip it to the hero. There were two things that stood out most to Izuku, though, the first being his shaggy pink hair and matching five o'clock shadow. Though Izuku didn't exactly blink at it. He himself did have GREEN hair after all. What he noticed most though were the man's eyes. They were bright red and his irises looked like target reticles. "Hey, hey, All Might! Good to see you, my friend!" The man, Yusei greeted, giving All Might a handshake. "Glad you could make it." He glanced down to Izuku and gave him a nod. "Ah, and this must be the student you mentioned.

"Indeed! Yusei, this is Izuku Midoriya." All Might set a hand to Izuku's shoulder. "And young Midoriya, this is Yusei Hatsume. He's a friend that I once went to middle school with. He also happens to be the best damn auto mechanic in all of Japan." He then gave his student a thumbs up. "And er, don't worry, he knows about my… ahem, condition."

"He's right on all accounts. And don't let anyone tell ya different about the greatest mechanic part." Yusei winked as he shook Izuku's hand. "I take great pride in that title."

"I-I see." Izuku nodded. "W-Well, it's very nice to meet you." However, the more he made eye contact with Yusei, the more Izuku couldn't help but ask. "Um… if you don't mind me asking… what's your Quirk?"

Yusei laughed and pointed to his eyes. "Haha, lemme guess, the eyes are freaking ya out, huh?"

"O-Oh, n-no sir!" Izuku insisted. "In fact, th-they're really cool! It's just… I'm fascinated with how a lot of quirks work, and…"

"Ah, I get ya." Yusei nodded, indicating his eyes again. "Well, if that's the case, then I'll tell ya! My Quirk is called 'Transport Target'. It allows me to lock on to any broken part of a vehicle and analyze it so that my brain immediately knows how to fix it. And that's pretty much how I got to be where I am today."

Izuku immediately lit up in admiration. "Oh wow! That's really cool! I'll bet you can fix just about any car, huh?!"

However, Yusei visibly winced at that. "Er, yeah… you see, that might've been called into question the moment All Might brought me that Beetle."

The green-haired teen blinked in confusion. "W-Wait, I thought you said you fixed it?"

"I did, but… not without help." Yusei sighed. "See, the part that WAS a normal Volkswagen Beetle was easy to fix… but as I dug deeper into it… I noticed that it wasn't JUST a normal Bug." He craned his head up to All Might. "And that's why I wanted you two to come here today. To see just what we're dealing with here. It's… a bit disconcerting."

All Might's brow furrowed, but his smile didn't waver. "You suppose it could be something dangerous?"

"Potentially. Why do ya think I wanted YOU of all people here?" Yusei replied snarkily before waving them toward the door on the other side of the room, leading to the garage. "C'mon, with any luck, my… ugh, darling assistant should be finishing up as we speak."

Izuku could hear a bit of irritation in the man's voice. "Is there something wrong with your assist—" BOOM! Without warning, a huge explosion could be heard from the garage, with black smoke beginning to pour out from the seams in the door. "AAH! What was THAT?!"

Yusei slumped over and sighed. "THAT was my assistant. See, when I discovered that this Bug was something a LOT more than just a car, it became something that I wasn't able to handle on my own… but I DID know someone who could. So…"

"UNCLE YU! I've DONE it!" A feminine voice called from the garage. "This baby is READY TO GO!"

"Ugh… I called in my niece from Kyoto to help me." Yusei finished as he opened the door and began wafting the smoke away with his hand. "Damn it, Mei, what did I tell you about blowing things up in the garage?!"

That one word was all it took for Izuku to lock up and freeze. "H-H-His… n-n-n-niece?!" To say that Izuku was socially awkward was an understatement, but when it came to women, he was even MORE of a nervous wreck than he usually was. The very idea of having to talk to a girl was making his brain was to curl up into a ball and hide in the corner of his head, never to be seen again.

However, as he was about to have a mental shut down, All Might set a hand onto Izuku's shoulder, snapping him out of it. "Young Midoriya, I am aware of your many social anxieties." he whispered as low as he could. "But, if you wish to but the Number One Hero someday, you WILL have to learn to be social with everyone, and that includes women. Take a deep breath, and keep yourself as steady as an oak. She is a person just like you are. Remember that, and you can get through this."

"…Y-Yeah, you're right, All Might." Izuku nodded before taking a deep breath… only to start coughing and hacking as he took in a bit of smoke.

All Might deadpanned at this, though he gave Izuku a sympathetic smile. "Hm, poor choice of words on my part." He lead the coughing boy into the garage, patting his back all the while. "But worry not, young Midoriya, I'm sure that she's just every bit as normal as you and—"

"HEY THERE!" Without warning, a girl about Izuku's age suddenly popped up in front of the duo, taking them both aback. All Might merely took a step back, but Izuku let out panicked scream as the young lady was practically an inch away from his face.

The girl was definitely pretty, no doubt about that, which would make talking to her directly a challenge for Izuku. She wore fingerless gloves and heavy boots, along with a pair of steampunkish goggles on top of her head. Like her uncle, her hair was also pink, but it was shoulder length and styled into dreads. She was wearing her own set of olive-green coveralls, the top of which was tied around her waist to expose her black… and rather fitting tank top. Needless to say, Izuku made sure to keep eye contact. But when he did, he noticed that, also like her uncle, the girl's eyes were special. They were a bright yellow and had crosses across her irises, along with a darker yellow pupil that had a single black dot in each of them. They almost appeared to be scope lenses of some sort.

"So, you're the guy who found the Beetle Baby, right?!" the girl asked as she drew ever closer to Izuku.

"U-Uh, y-y-y-y…" Izuku couldn't get a word out. Between his proximity to her and being questioned on the spot, it was all too much for him.

"Mei! Would ya get out of the poor boy's face?" Yusei hollered to his niece. "You're scaring the hell out of him!"

The girl, Mei, glanced between her uncle and the boy in front of her, finally noticing the sheer terror on his face. "Ah, I see. Well sorry, I guess. But when I heard that you were coming over, I just HAD to thank you!" She jabbed a thumb over toward the car behind her. "After all, finding a baby like that is BIG. Like, you don't even KNOW how big!" Then, she pointed her thumb to herself. "Name's Mei Hatsume, by the way!"

Izuku gulped down as much fear as he could, forcing himself to at least say his name. "I-I-Izuku… M-M-Midoriya." Meanwhile, in his head; 'Oh my gosh, I just spoke to a girl who ISN'T my own mother!'

Mei titled her head in confusion. "You good, Midoriya? If you were a machine, you'd be short circuiting."

"Eh, forgive him, young Hatsume." All Might said as he put his hand on the back of Izuku's head, making the teen bow respectfully. "Young Midoriya's social skills aren't exactly the best, so—"

"Oh! Kind of like mine!" Mei said with a smile, making both All Might AND Izuku do double takes. "Usually I don't talk to anyone outside my family or my babies, so I guess everyone's got different ways of having bad social skills!" However, her eyebrows rose when she noticed that she was speaking to All Might of all people, to which she turned to her uncle and smiled. "Wow, Uncle Yu, you DO know All Might!"

That made All Might falter a bit. 'THAT'S her big take away from this?'

Yusei shook his head at his niece's behavior. "Ugh, Mei, you really need to get out more."

"And give up spending time working on my Babies?!" Mei questioned. "No way! You're seriously just as bad as my old man!"

Izuku couldn't help but blink as a certain 'b' word was brought up again. "Er, your… babies?"

"Her blasted inventions are what she's talking about." Yusei clarified. "You know, the ones that are liable to BLOW UP?!"

However, Mei just waved her uncle off. "Oh, you're just jealous that I was able to figure out the Beetle Baby and you weren't, Uncle Yu!"

Yusei pursed his lips at that. "Hm, right." He jerked his thumb over his shoulder toward said Beetle. "By the way, I think it's time we show these two just what we're dealing with."

Mei clapped her hands together in excitement. "Oh, that's right! The moment of truth!" She whipped around and locked eyes with Izuku again, making him flinch. "Hey, you wanna see just what this super cute baby's gonna do? …Or at least what we THINK it's gonna do?"

"U-Uh, I-I guess s-so?" Izuku said hesitantly, only for Mei to grab him by the wrist. "AH! W-What're you—"

"Well, c'mon! We ain't got all day!" Mei exclaimed as she led Izuku over to the car, with All Might and Yusei keeping in step behind them.

Initially, Izuku's mind was going a million miles an hour. A girl was not only talking to him, but had practically taken him by the hand as well. What had turned into a small step had turned into a giant leap all in the span of two minutes. However, once Izuku's eyes landed on the Bug itself, his mind was able to clear, and his lips parted in shock. He could hardly believe that this was the same Volkswagen that he and All Might had found just a few months back, but there was no mistaking it. Namely because it was the ONLY 1973 Beetle in this garage, if not ALL of Japan at the moment. It had been completely restored to what he could only guess was its original state, its silver bumper, headlights, rims and trimming all shining in the light. And its canary yellow paint was like a beacon in the predominantly grey and white room.

Izuku's jaw dropped in shock. "It's… it's amazing!"

"Indeed!" All Might beamed with a thumbs up. "Yusei, you've done it again!"

"Heh, thanks, All Might." Yusei rubbed the back of his head. "But remember, it wasn't ALL me. After all, Mei handled the parts that WEREN'T part of the care."

All Might's brows furrowed at that again. "Just what are you talking about, Yusei?"

"You'll see." Yusei pointed toward the car, indicating that his niece was retrieving some garage creepers for both her and Izuku to use.

Mei set the rolling mats onto the floor and smirked up to the green-haired boy. "Okay, so you know how to get under a car, right?"

Izuku took a small step back. "W-Well, I suppose, but—"

"GREAT! C'mere, c'mere, c'mere!" Mei frantically led Izuku by the wrist again and lied him down on his back onto one of the creepers, with her doing the same directly next to him. This did NOT help Izuku's nerves in the least. "Alright, now let's get under there!" With that, Mei rolled herself and Izuku under the car, which had been jacked up enough for them to do so. Mei reached into her pocket and took out a flashlight, pointing it at a small wire that had been disconnected. "Okay, see that wire there?"

"Y-Yeah?" Izuku muttered.

"When I connect it, all of the electrical systems in the Beetle Baby should turn on. And when they do… I think we're gonna see some serious stuff happen." Mei held the flashlight in her teeth as she connected the wire to where it was supposed to go, giving her uncle a shout. "Okay, Uncle Yu! Give this baby a start!"

Within seconds, the duo heard the motor begin to run… from the back of the car. "W-Wait, what?" Izuku asked.

"Oh yeah, older Beetles had their engines in the back and trunks in the front. Pretty neat, right?" Mei's features grew curious as she quirked a brow and moved her flashlight around. "But… something doesn't seem right. I thought for sure we'd be seeing—WAIT!" She stopped for a moment and moved her flashlight back to a previous position… where there appeared to be a face peeking out from under the car. "…You see that, right?"

Izuku's eyes widened as he saw the face as well. "I… I don't—" BZZ! Without warning, two bright, blue light suddenly started shining from what Izuku could only assume were "the eyes", and it made him scream in shock while Mei cackled like a mad woman. "AAAAH!"

"AH-HAHA! I was RIGHT!" Mei shouted.

"Kids?!" Yusei called out. "What's going on under—HOLY CRAP!"

"What the hell?!" the kids heard All Might exclaim.

However, all Izuku and Mei were focused on was the many parts underneath the car beginning to move, with the "face" that was gazing back at them starting to shift around as well. They heard a sound that could only be described as; whrr-tschzz-tschzz-tschzz-chk as the vehicle began to change into something else entirely. Something that could only be described as… a robot.

The roof of the car transformed into the large robot's chest, with the entire front of the car converting into the robot's feet as its legs formed from its undercarriage. The doors and front wheels of the car folded into the robot's heels as the back wheels suddenly folded upward toward the robot's head, sticking up out of its shoulder blades while revealing the mechanical being's arms. The hood folded into the canopy as the entire back end of the car settled onto the robot's back, giving it a sort-of "backpack".

Finally, its head was fully revealed. Izuku could only described the robot's helm as almost shaped like an almond with a small horn on each side and a crest in the middle. Its face was a bright silver with two, glowing blue optics and the bridge of what appeared to be a nose in between them. However, when he saw the creature's mouth, Izuku tilted his head. It didn't appear to be a mouth, rather a face guard of some sort, with what appeared to be a round speaker in the middle of it. The robot stepped over him and Mei and backed away from all four of the humans, standing as still as a statue as it gazed at them.

There was a long, drawn out silence… and then the yellow bot tilted his head, letting out a noise which cause Izuku to let out a yelp. "AH!" Without even thinking, he grabbed Mei by the shoulders and began scrambling away… right as the robot was beginning to do the same thing. Yusei, Izuku and Mei all hid behind All Might as the robot suddenly tripped over one of the car lifts while also getting its head caught in a tarp that had been hanging from it. As the three smaller humans peeked out from behind All Might as the bot tried to free itself, bumbling around a bit before finally getting the tarp off. However, the moment it set its optics back onto them, it shied away, inadvertently transforming back into the Volkswagen Beetle.

Mei was grinning from ear to ear as she and Izuku stepped out from behind All Might in intrigue, the pink-haired girl taking the boy by his shoulders and shaking him rapidly. "Hehehehe, I TOLD you this super cute baby was something amazing!"

"I… I-I don't… what?!" Izuku exclaimed.

"That's… that's honestly what I was thinking." Yusei said as he took his hat off and placed his hands to his temples, quickly finding a seat before he passed out. "I've gotta sit down."

All Might was utterly flabbergasted at what he had just witnessed, so much so that, much to Izuku's shot, he saw the hero's iconic smile waver a bit. The Symbol of Peace extended an arm out in front of the teens and took a defensive stance, keeping his eyes on the beetle. "Young Midoriya, young Hatsume, stay behind me. We have no idea what this… thing is capable of."

"W-Wait, All Might!" Izuku exclaimed, waving his hands frantically. "I… I think it might be afraid. You saw how it moved, right? I-I don't know about you, but that looked like something that was scared to me."

"…Hm, you make a good point, young Midoriya." All Might put a hand to his chin in thought. "But how can we know for sure?"

Izuku paused and set his eyes onto the Beetle, a determined expression coming to his face but a moment later. "…I think I know." He took a few cautious steps forward, drawing slowly nearer to the Volkswagen with every second. All Might gave Izuku a concerned look, but the inheritor raised a hand, giving the hero a small nod. Despite his reluctance to do so, All Might remained where he stood. When he was in front of the car, Izuku knelt down and greeted: "H-Hello? A-Are you in there?"

Miraculously, the Beetle transformed once again, revealing the yellow robot in a matter of seconds. The bot set its optics onto Izuku and immediately shied away again, huddling into a small corner with its legs up to its chest. It hid its face behind its hand as best as it could, letting out a low humming noise all the while.

Izuku took a deep, reluctant breath and stood up steadily, keeping his eyes locked with the robot's. "H-Hi." he greeted again with a whisper. He took a step forward, and…

"BZZT, BZZT!" Izuku stopped when the bot let out a noise that sounded like a beep and a buzz combined, which made him drop to his knees again in hopes of showing the bot that there was nothing to fear.

"W-Who are you?" he asked, to which he received no answer. Izuku tilted his head in curiosity. "Do you speak?"

"…BZZZRT." The robot let out a lo buzz, a saddened look on its face. It glanced off to the side and noticed that Mei was slowly beginning to approach as well… and she was holding a wrench in her hand. The bot's eyes widened and its hand went to its throat in a panic, letting out a low scared noise.

Once Izuku saw where its optics were focused on, he let out a gasp and exclaimed; "H-Hatsume!" He pried the wrench out of her hand and threw it to the ground, making Mei reel in shock.

"Hey!" Mei said with an indigent face. "What was that—"

"It scared him!" Izuku explained, gesturing toward the clearly frightened robot.

Mei blinked in realization, her expression softening a bit. "Oh… sorry." She set her eyes on the robot and lifted her hands. "See? It's not here anymore. I'm not gonna hurt ya. Believe me, that's the LAST thing I wanna do."

"Sh-She's right." Izuku agreed, putting his hands up as well. "W-We don't want to hurt you."

The robot scanned its optics up and down the humans, focusing directly onto their hands. Once it saw that there was no sign of any weaponry, it began to slowly move toward them, extending its own hands as well. The big yellow bot gently and slowly pressed both of its hands against one of theirs, almost as if it were a greeting of some sort.

"Well… I'll be damned." All Might uttered.

Yusei rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. "They… they made friends with it?"

"Quite possibly."

Izuku and Mei smiled up toward the bot, which was now crouched down to their level. "Can… can y-you understand us?" the green-haired teen asked. He received a nod from the bot in response. Izuku slowly stepped forward and put a hand to the large bot's knee. "W-What are you exactly? A-And where did you come from?" This made the bot let out an unsatisfied him, pulling itself back as its features continued to grow more upset. "O-Okay, that's okay." Izuku reassured. "I-If you don't know, th-then you don't know."

"I… I think he might be an autonomous robotic life form of some sort." Mei deduced as the robot began to relax again. "It's made of metal, but I can see that it has clear human emotions! Haha, this is amazing!" The bot tilted its head toward her and pointed at both her and Izuku, confusing the both of them. "Huh? What're you saying?" Once again, the robot pointed at them, a curious expression on its metallic features. The duo's eyes widened as they realized what it must have been asking. "Oh! You're wondering who we are?" She received an eager nod from the bot in response. "Well, that's easy!" Mei jerked a thumb to herself. "I'm Mei Hatsume!"

"A-And I'm Izuku Midoriya." Izuku smiled up to the yellow bot. "So… what's your name?" Once again, the bot's face faltered, which gave the two teens pause. "Y-You don't know? Or don't you have a name?"

"BZZZBZZZRRRT." The robot's optics lowered to the ground as it made more sad buzzing sounds, though the noises couldn't help but make Mei smile.

"Hey… you sound just like a little bumblebee." The pinkette pointed out, making Izuku's eyebrows snap up. She directed her gaze to the boy and nudged her head toward the robot. "I think that's what we should call him from now on, don't you?"

Izuku brightened up at that. "H-Hey, yeah, th-that's a good idea!" He gave the bot a nod and spoke to him. "D-Do you like that, Bumblebee?"

The newly named Bumblebee perked up and let out more buzzes and beeps, indicating that he liked the new name.

"…They named it "Bumblebee"." Yusei deadpanned. "It's a robot, not a pet dog!"

All Might shrugged, however. "Well, it certainly goes with the outfit, I'll give them that." He stepped forward and set his gaze onto Bumblebee and the children, clearing his throat to garner their attention. "Ahem, greetings Bumblebee! Apologies if I startled you earlier." All Might gave him a thumbs up. "I am All Might, the Number One Hero of this world. It is a pleasure to meet you." Bumblebee tilted his head in intrigue, using his hand to measure All Might's height compared to Izuku's. "Hehe, yes, I suppose I AM much taller than a typical human." The hero added in his head; 'At least in this form.' The hero chuckled before saluting the bot. "But I assure you, I am no threat to you." Bumblebee saw the gesture and gave a salute back, letting out another buzz. "Hm, he learns fast." But then, All Might's eyes trailed down to Bumblebee's foot, and there, he noticed something. "Say… that wasn't on the car before…"

Izuku and Mei were initially confused before they glanced down and saw what All Might had seen. It appeared to be some sort of red insignia on Bumblebee's foot, one that resembled some sort of angular face. There was also a large slash going through it, almost as if it had been damaged in some way. "Huh, that's odd." Izuku stepped toward the insignia, which made Bumblebee take notice as well. The inheritor locked eyes with Bee. "You think this could be a clue to who you are?"

Bumblebee let out more buzzes as Mei suddenly got excited. "Ooh, I smell a project!" She set her eyes onto the face on Bee's foot and used her quirk to magnify it. Sure enough, as she thought; there was bits of circuitry within the insignia, which had been partially damaged due to the scar. "Ah-ha! Yep, there's definitely stuff to put back together in this thing." Mei clapped her hands together ecstatically. "And I can have it fixed in no time!" She spun around toward her uncle. "Uncle Yu, you HAVE to let me work on Bumblebee some more so that he's fully fixed up!"

"WHAT?!" Yu exclaimed, making Bumblebee flinch a little. "Mei, you just MET this robot and now you're just back to wanting to work on him like it's no big deal?!"

Mei gave her uncle a pout. "Uh, yeah, because I want to help him figure out where he came from! It's obvious that he's got some sort of amnesia, and the only way to figure anything out is if I study him and his systems more." She craned her head around and gave Bee a wink. "And don't worry, I promise that I won't hurt ya when I'm doing it." Bumblebee let out some buzzes of approval before Mei turned back to her uncle. "C'mon, Uncle Yu, pleeeeease?"

"Well…" Yusei glanced between his niece and Bumblebee, meeting the robot's optics for the first time. "Hm… he doesn't seem like a threat." He faced his niece again and gave her an approving nod. "Alright, he can stay here and you can work on him…" He raised his finger up to Mei. "BUT… I don't want you speaking a word of this to your parents. In fact, I don't think we should tell this to anyone."

Izuku pursed his lips. "He's right, i-if word spreads about Bee, the government will probably try to come and capture him…" Bumblebee's optics widened and he let out a series of panicked buzzes, waving his hands frantically. The inheritor sent him a reassuring smile. "B-But don't you worry, Bumblebee. W-We'll make sure that you're safe, r-right All Might?"

"Indeed!" All Might said as he put a hand to his chest. "You have my word that I will keep this secret. I will not allow anyone to come and hurt you, Bumblebee." What seemed to be a happy expression came to Bumblebee's features… but then his head tilted again as he outstretched a finger and pointed at All Might. "Hm? What's… oh." All Might set his eyes down to his own body… and noticed that there was steam coming off of him. 'Damn it.' He set his sights to Yusei, who was equally worried at seeing All Might begin to perspire. "W-Well, would you look at the time? It's been quite an interesting time here, but I'm afraid I must be going."

"Y-Yeah, understandable." Yusei nodded, knowing what was about to happen. "After all, the work of the Number One Hero is never done, right?" It was then that Bumblebee began buzzing worriedly again, his optics set onto All Might. "O-Oh, don't worry, Bumblebee, you'll still be safe. All Might just has a lot of work to do. Villainy never sleeps, and all that."

"Correct!" The Symbol of Peace affirmed as he nodded to Bumblebee. "Believe me, you'll see me around here soon, Bumblebee." He then put his focus onto his protégé as he continued to struggle keeping his Muscle Form up. "Young Midoriya, you won't have any trouble getting home, will you? You know how to get to the local train station?"

Izuku readily nodded. "Y-Yes, All Might, I do. I'll be able to get home safe."

"Good! Glad to hear it!" With that, All Might took a running position. "Yusei, it was good seeing you, and young Hatsume, it was an honor meeting you." He glanced over to his protégé one last time. "And I will see you tomorrow, young Midoriya! But for now… I must depart!" With a sudden burst of wind, All Might shot straight out the garage door and through the front door as well… giving him just enough time to poof back into his skinny form. All Might took in a few deep breaths, lamenting how his three-hour time limit hindered him in such a way. 'That early morning hero work is REALLY cutting it close for me.'

Back inside the garage, Bumblebee couldn't help but stare after All Might with wide eyes, giving out an impressed buzz. "Yeah, I know, right?" Izuku spoke up, garnering Bee's attention. Izuku met his optics and smiled at him. "L-Like Yusei said, he's the Number One Hero for a reason."

"Ain't that the truth?" Mei said before placing a hand on Bumblebee's foot. "Now, how about we get started on seeing just what makes this thing tick, huh?"

"Ahem." Yusei managed to get the teen's attention before jutting his thumb toward the garage windows, indicating that the sun was beginning to set. "As much as I wanna know what's up with Bee, I think that's a project best saved for tomorrow. Mei, I promised your mom and dad that you'd be home by eight, remember?"

Mei immediately got a downtrodden look on her face. "Aw! You've gotta be kidding me! You're gonna deny me the chance to study and examine him?!" The pinkette gestured to Bee with both hands for emphasis. "You and my dad really ARE spoil sports."

Yusei simply rolled his eyes. "Yes, because I know he'll kill me if I don't reign you in. But don't worry. Remember, tomorrow's Saturday, so you'll have the WHOLE day to work on him." This managed to make Mei happy again, or at least satisfied that she didn't have to wait for MUCH longer. This led Yusei to trail his eyes to Izuku, who was standing off to the side awkwardly. "I know you said that you knew how to get there, Izuku, but would you like a ride to the train station? You and Mei are going there anyways."

"S-Sure." Izuku stammered before realizing something. "B-But… if it's not too much trouble… c-could we maybe ride there in Bumblebee? I-I don't want him thinking that we're just leaving him all of a sudden, y-you know?"

"Hmm… I don't see why not." Yusei craned his head up to Bumblebee with a grin. "Think you're up for it, Bee?" Bumblebee gave the pink-haired man a nod and transformed into his Beetle mode once more, opening up his doors for them all to climb in. "Heh, then it's settled!" He went over and opened one of the garage doors, waving his hand toward the teens. "Well, get in kids! This'll probably get a LOT of heads turning on the road!"

Izuku and Mei did as they were told and hopped into the back seat, closing the doors and putting their seatbelts on. It was then that the green-haired boy noticed; "Hey… th-the steering wheel's on the right side…"

"Ah, don't worry." Mei waved off. "Uncle Yu can drive ANY kind of car."

"I-I'm sure." Izuku assured. "It's just… I-I guess we know w-where the Beetle was made now… i-if it was EVEN made." The inheritor scratched the back of his head. "I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Bee can transform between a car and a robot! Th-That's crazy!"

"I KNOW, right?!" Mei exclaimed, getting in Izuku's face again and making him shout in surprise. "I can't wait to start studying Bee and seeing just what secrets his robot mode has! Heck, maybe we can find a clue to where he came from!" She pat the leather seat next to her. "Wouldn't ya like that, Bee?" Suddenly, through the Beetle's radio, a familiar buzz of approval could be heard, making both teens light up. "Haha, see? What'd I tell ya?!"

Izuku couldn't help but laugh a little. If someone had told him that all of THIS was going to be happening to him today, he would've called them crazy for sure. "Hehe, w-well, alright then." He ran his hand across the brown leather of Bumblebee's back seat. "A-And don't worry, I promise that I'll come visit you whenever I can, okay Bee?" Once again, he got a confirming buzz, and Izuku nodded to himself. 'I think this is gonna be the start of something interesting…'

A/N: And there you have it! The first chapter in a saga that should prove to be quite the spectacle, no doubt! And indeed, we're seeing our first MAJOR change from canon here. That being; Izuku meeting Mei WAY earlier than he initially did. I'll be honest, I knew that there had to be a tech-savvy character in this story considering what I'm crossing MHA over with, and it gave me an excuse to use Mei, since she's one of my favorite characters. And yeah, I gave her an uncle based in Tokyo specifically so that she could come over from Kyoto to be a part of this story. But don't worry, Yusei's not just gonna be a one-off character. We'll see plenty from him.

But as for the big yellow bee himself, you'll notice that he's actually NOT influenced by his 2018 movie design. Rather, he looks more like his Generation 1 design with a bit of movie influence in the face (By the way, that's not his REAL mouth, just a mouth guard that looks like his movie face). To be specific, this version of Bumblebee is based on his War for Cybertron Trilogy Netflix Deluxe Class figure that was released not that long ago. Well, for this story, I'm going to be going with a more "Generations" feel to the characters, while also taking bits and pieces from a bunch of different Transformer continuities as well. So you'll see characters from G1, Prime, RID2015, The Unicron Trilogy, the whole nine yards. As you can see, I decided to go with the G1 inspired Bee, while also taking influence from his movie counterpart… in that he can't speak. I know, I know, a lot of people don't like it when Bee can't talk, but don't worry, I don't plan to KEEP him silent for long. He'll get his voice back eventually… probably not in this volume, though.

But of course, this is only just the beginning for our characters… and we haven't even introduced all of the MAIN ones yet! That will come in time, however, as NEXT TIME we… oh wait, this is MHA, isn't it? Well then, ahem… AND NOW, THE PREVIEW! The snow begins to fall as the winter months come to settle in, allowing for Izuku, Mei and Bumblebee, to take a little excursion out into the snow to practice the bot's hiding skills. However, when they return to the garage, Mei makes a potential breakthrough with the insignia on Bee's foot… but will what they find be what they want to see? Or will it just raise more questions than answers? Thanks for reading guys, and I'll see you all next time! Stay safe out there!
