MHA Chemical Bonds Omake/AU Concept: The UA Games
Basically Apex Legends but with MHA characters. Featuring aliens, magic and other sci-fi nonsense nerds love.
The UA Games weren’t for the faint of heart. Across the volatile Musutafu galaxy, countless warriors, bounty hunters, and mercenaries fought in brutal combat for fame, wealth, and survival. For Deku, a rookie competitor in the games, it wasn’t about fame—it was about staying alive.
“Oi, newbie!” A neon-lit figure dropped from the ramp of the drop ship, boots clanking on the metal floor.
Alien Queen was as much a spectacle as she was a legend. Her gleaming black latex outfit reflected the fluorescent lights, while pink neon tubing ran along her arms, pulsing in rhythm with her breathing. Her gas mask hissed ominously, her fur-lined shoulders giving her a regal, dangerous appearance. She looked like chaos incarnate—a walking rave with a penchant for destruction.
“You’re Deku, right? The analyst-turned-merc? Cute. Stick with me, rookie and you might actually survive.”
Deku gulped, adjusting the goggles strapped to her helmet. She wasn’t sure what was more intimidating: the battlefield ahead or Alien Queen’s aggressive personality.
“I’ll do my best,” Deku said, clutching her plasma pistol.
Alien Queen snorted, adjusting her spiked collar. “Your ‘best’ better include not dying, rookie. We’ve got a fight to win.”
The arena was a labyrinth of broken machinery, glowing hazards, and towering piles of scrap metal.
The crowd roared as two opponents entered the battlefield, their silhouettes illuminated by spotlights.
First was King Explosion Murder, a one-man army armed with twin RPG launchers strapped to his arms. His explosive temper was as legendary as his firepower, and his savage grin promised nothing but destruction.
Beside him was Jackmantis, a lithe insectoid assassin cloaked in shimmering green chitin. Energy blades extended from his arms, crackling with power, and his segmented eyes scanned the arena for his next target. He moved with unsettling precision, every step a promise of violence.
“Well, that’s not fair,” Deku muttered, ducking behind a stack of crates as explosions echoed across the arena.
“Fair?” Alien Queen laughed, skating across the battlefield on acid-coated skates that left trails of sizzling pink behind her. “This is the UA Games, rookie. Nothing’s fair. Now, get moving and keep Explosion Boy busy. I’ll handle Bugsy.”
“What?! But he’s—” Deku’s protests were drowned out by an explosion that sent debris flying.
“You’ll be fine!” Alien Queen called over her shoulder, already closing the gap with Jackmantis.
Alien Queen wasted no time, hurling a glob of sizzling acid at Jackmantis as she vaulted over a pile of scrap. The insectoid assassin dodged with unnatural speed, leaping high into the air and descending with a spinning slash of his energy blades.
“Nice moves,” Alien Queen quipped, skating out of range and firing a volley of arrows. “But let’s see how you handle this!”
Jackmantis hissed, his blades deflecting the projectiles with a crackling burst of energy. He lunged, slashing wildly, but Alien Queen weaved around his attacks with practiced ease, her neon-lit form a blur of motion.
Meanwhile, Deku was locked in a desperate game of cat-and-mouse with King Explosion Murder. The explosions were relentless, tearing through cover and leaving her scrambling for safety.
“Stop running, you damn coward!” King Explosion Murder roared, launching himself into the air and firing a barrage of missiles.
Deku dove behind a barricade, her goggles lighting up as she analyzed his movements.
“Okay… he’s aggressive. Overcommits to every attack. If I can time this right…” Deku muttered, gripping her pistol.
King Explosion Murder charged, his grin feral. “Time’s up, nerd!”
At the last second, Deku rolled out of the way, firing a plasma shot that detonated one of his missiles mid-air. The resulting explosion sent him stumbling, giving her a precious few seconds to reposition.
The tide of battle began to shift as Alien Queen and Deku started working in tandem.
“Deku!” Alien Queen shouted, dodging a slash from Jackmantis. “Lure Explosion Boy toward the scrap pile!”
Deku nodded, sprinting toward the designated area as King Explosion Murder gave chase, his explosions tearing apart the ground behind her.
As they neared the scrap pile, Alien Queen hurled a massive glob of acid at the structure, triggering a chain reaction of explosions that sent both opponents flying.
Jackmantis, seeing his partner incapacitated, lunged at Alien Queen with a desperate strike. But Deku, finally finding her rhythm, fired a perfectly aimed plasma shot that destabilized his energy blade, forcing him to retreat.
“And the winners are… Alien Queen and Deku!” the announcer’s voice boomed, met with deafening cheers from the crowd.
Alien Queen helped Deku to her feet, her grin as sharp as her spiked bracelets.
“Not bad, rookie,” she said, slapping Deku on the back. “Maybe you’re not as useless as you look.”
Deku laughed, her heart still pounding from the adrenaline. For the first time, she felt like she belonged.
