The "Mighty is Here" AU

This is far too comedic for it’s own good, but who cares. My sister and I were talking and somehow this AU formed and then grew and then oh god there’s too many Mightys. Mighty is already starting to not look like a word sometimes.

The gist of this AU is that now there is just. Mighty. He exists. Probably a Bugster or something.

Technically, it's Proto Mighty first. He shows up after Zero Day. He mostly just lurks around Kuruto's office, he's ambivalent to most people. He prefers being around Parad and Graphite, since they're Bugsters.

Then, after Emu transforms into Exaid for the first time, Mighty just kinda, pops into existence. He likes Emu best, though he too is also fond of Bugsters.

This means that if he's around the CR, he tends to be around either Emu or Poppy. If he isn't, he's probably found his way to Parad or Graphite, though he favors Parad.

Also, none of the Mightys can talk, they're just silent and somewhat judgmental feeling because of it.

Please note, the Mightys still have their corresponding weapons. So at this point, we've got Proto and Mighty with their Gashacon Breakers. Bonking most certainly ensues if they don't like you or you get on their nerves.

Mighty tends to bonk Kuroto, if they cross paths. No one can stop him.

After Emu uses the Mighty Bros Gashat, not one, but two new Mightys appear, Orange and Cyan. They have the Gasahcon Keyslasher and take turns using it. They are a lot like Mighty, though Orange favors Parad more than Emu and Cyan Emu more than Parad.

How does Maximum Mighty Action X work, you may ask? Mech. Mighty gets a mech. No separate Mighty, just a mech appears that Mighty can use. The same for Proto, at a point.

Doctor Mighty is just two Mightys dressed like doctors, Black and White. One of them favors Kuruto, while the other favors Kiriya.

The one who likes Kuroto is kind of the odd one out here, the rest of the Mightys aren’t entirely sure what to think.

Muteki Mighty exists and is kinda just dramatic in everything he does. It's fine. You cannot harm Muteki, though. He is Muteki.

As a general rule, the Mightys like Emu best of the humans and just Bugsters in general. Except Salty, for obvious reasons.

They don't terribly like Kuruto, for a few reasons. Proto was ambivalent for most of the time, but after Mighty shows up and Gemn starts fighting Emu, at least, Proto decides he likes Emu better, especially once Gemn switches to using Dangerous Zombie.

The Mightys possess the ability to consume food simply by touching it. This had led to more than one incident where someone's food got accidently eaten (Read, Hiro's desert on more than one occasion).

They end up plopping down somewhere and getting mistaken for plushies, especially Mighty, who has actual plushies. So sometimes, they get cuddled.

If you're unlucky and startled one of the Mightys, you may get Bonked.

The Mightys just kinda... hang out, generally. Sometimes they sneak around the hospital and visit any of kids who might be in Pediatrics. Or if there's someone in the CR, they might go and try to cheer them up, especially if they're a kid.

Then there’s this one Mighty that is considered something of a cryptid, even among the Mightys: Bike Mighty. He is Mighty, but he runs around constantly on a motorbike. No one knows where he comes from or where he goes. Just exists, him and his motorbike.

Usually ends up running over Kuroto’s foot.

Appears most around Kiriya, to only minor surprise.

So our list of Mightys are as follow:

Mighty Action X = Mighty

Proto Mighty Action X = Proto

Mighty Brothers XX = Orange and Cyan

Doctor Mighty XX = Black and White

Hyper Muteki = Muteki

Motorbike Mighty??? = Bike/Cryptid

Enter, Mighty!

Mighty may be a Bugster, or he may not be. No one really knows. All anyone can tell, at this point is that he's a silent gremlin.

"Ah... Emu?" Poppy inquired, "What's that in your arms?"

Situated in Emu's arms, like one might hold a stuffed animal, was a familiar looking pink shape, with spikey hair and big eyes. The... Mighty... Was kicking his feet around, like a child sitting on a big person chair, his hands wrapped around Emu's arms. Mighty peered up at her, silent, but seeming like he was judging.

"This is... Mighty. I think." Emu responded, looking down at Mighty in his arms. At that, Mighty began to wiggle, until Emu let him go and he jumped down to the ground. "Not sure where he came from though? I think he's a Bugster... But he just sort of showed up in my kitchen this morning?"

Poppy had been looking at Mighty, but when Emu had began explaining, looked up at him. When he finished, she shot him a curious expression, "In your kitchen?"

"Yeah..." Rubbing the back of his neck, Emu sighed, "He really startled me."

"But how?"

"I have no clue."

There was a boing! And soon Mighty had jumped onto the table, leveling the two with his only expression. Poppy and Emu turned there attention to him, as though he might be able to say something. Though he, as he always seemed, was quiet.

"So..." Emu began, after a moment of silence, though he didn't dare take his eyes away from Mighty, "What should we do with him?"

Taking a moment to think, Poppy responds, "Well, we should keep him here. To keep him out of trouble," She said, "Though if he's a Bugster..."

"Then he should be someone's Bugster."

Poppy nods, "But for now he'll just have to stay here, until we figure it out." At this point, Mighty seemed to have gotten bored, sat down on the table, his eyes closed.

As they went about their day, the two had forgotten about Mighty, and though Poppy had told the director about the newest Bugster, they hadn't mentioned it to anyone else.

Which meant that when Hiro had entered the CR that day, he'd found only one odd thing. What he thought was a plush of Mighty. He assumed Poppy or Emu had left it there, it was something either of the two would probably have - Poppy because it's cute, Emu because of his Gashat, if nothing else. So he payed it little mind.

At least until he looked away and it was gone.

Now if Hiro were a more superstitious man, he'd have been rather freaked out. But Hiro was not superstitious, not in the slightest. So while it was odd that the Mighty plush had disappeared, he chose to disregard it. Perhaps he's simply been mistaken and it'd never been there at all. Or maybe it'd just fallen - it had been near the edge of the table.

So Hiro continued on, sitting down with a slice of cake. As he went about eating, he'd occasionally hear an odd sound, but he could never find the source. He decided that he was probably just imagining it, the Bugsters that have been appearing might have been getting to them.

Something lands on the ground and rolls to his feet, some kind of empty can. It catches Hiro's attention, prompting him to lean down and pick it up. He wasn't really sure where'd it come from or how it had even fallen.

Belip!

At the strange sound, Hiro sits back up and turns towards it source, the table. There, standing behind the Hiro's plate was Mighty. The very same one that had been on the table earlier. The plate though, was lacking something. The remains of Hiro's cake had disappeared, leaving the only answer to it's disappearance being Mighty. Mighty, who looked at him with an equally non-expressive face as Hiro was looking at him.

Mighty, who isn't real.

It was about then that he heard the tell-tale footstep of Poppy and Emu entering the CR. Perhaps they might have an explanation, or at least be able to help him get rid of this pink gremlin.

"Oh, Hiro!" Poppy exclaimed, "You've met Mighty!"

"Mighty," Hiro repeats slowly, "And where did Mighty come from?"

Sheepishly, Emu explained, "He showed up in my kitchen this morning?" He hadn't meant for it to sound like a question, but given the look Hiro was giving him... Well it wasn't much different from Hiro's normal expression, but still.

"This morning?"

"Emu brought him here," Poppy explained, "The director thinks we should keep him here so he can't cause trouble. We think he's a Bugster."

"We, ah, we forgot to tell you, didn't we?" Emu realized, hoping that he wouldn't be on the sole receiving end of Hiro's ire.

"You did."

"He ate my cake, I believe."

Poppy frowned and marched over to Mighty, "Mighty! You can't go eating Hiro's cake!"

Mighty didn't respond, instead just hopped down off the table and into a chair, sitting down on it. He almost seemed like a human, not the strange ball with hair and limbs that he was. It was hard to tell what he was thinking, since he only had eyes and didn't speak.
