OK, here's a revamp of Ben 10 Omniverse, called Ben 10 Guardians. It's a working title; so let me know what you think of this. I hope you all enjoy it. I do not own any of the characters presented, they belong to Man of action.
Things Change Part 1
(Bellwood, USA. Bellwood First National Bank. August 5th, 11:34)
In the town of Bellwood, there was screaming going on at one of the bank, as two cars arrived as four figures came out of the vehicles before heading towards the building.
The patrons and employees were backing away into a wall by four figures, which were all laughing cruelly. "Thank you my friends...for getting me something to eat." said a wheezing voice as the people looked behind the three figures who moved out of the way, revealing someone behind them.
The person in question appeared to be a clown with pale skin, a blue round nose, yellowish eyes, a sinister grin and wearing a blue suit over a stripped shirt and black clown shoes, along with a top hat with a strange orb on it. Though he appeared to be slightly thin as he looks at the people with a dark smirk. "Now, hold still..." he said as a device on his hat glowed faintly before making the people scream out as some form of energy came out, making his body to fill a bit.
"I don't get why you gotta have that weird machine, boss.' said a young woman with long, dark red tentacles for hair and a tight, formfitting outfit that exposed some cleavage, a pair of arm sleeves with stripes on them, along with boots with the same design on them.
"Who cares/ as long as we get paid, right boss?" asked a lanky man who had only a small amount of hair on his head, dark red eyes (one with a larger pupil than the other), a long-sleeved yellow and black striped shirt, a pair of black overalls and black boots, with very disgusting-looking gums with cracked, yellow teeth and a hunched composure.
The clown just chuckled as he saw the people fall over, groaning a bit as they felt exhausted. "Indeed. Steal away, my friends. Take as many riches as you can carry. It's not like these stiffs need them...but first, to make sure they cannot call for help...Thumbskull, silence them."
"Gotcha boss." said a very large man with an all-black jumpsuit with yellow stripes, black boots and also what looked like a toenail on his baldhead. He grabs a man, who groaned as he grabbed his head, a dark smirk on his face before a green blast hit him, making him let go. "Who did that?" he asked...before he groaned. "Ah crud..."
"So, I see you're back to working at the circus, huh?" asked a voice as four others came in, walking into the room. "Guess Zombozo wanted the cheapest help, especially after the last time we met."
"Ah great, it's those party crashers plus a guest." said Zombozo with a growl as Thumbskull, Frightwig and Acid Breath came up, glaring at the four as the lights revealed the four in question. The source of the voice was a young man, around 16-17 years old, with neck-length shaggy brown hair, green eyes, a black t-shirt with a white stripe going down the middle and on the collar, under a green and white jacket with a '10' on the right side and a pair of light brown khakis.
"We got these numbskulls, Ben. You take on the clown...unless you're scared of him." said a young woman, around his age, with long red hair tied in a ponytail, dark green eyes, a dark blue long-sleeved shirt over a white undershirt, a pair of black pants with black shoes.
"Haha, so funny, cous." Ben said with an eye roll, though heard snickering from behind him as he gave a stink eye to the other two in the room. "Traitors."
"Sorry, Tennyson. But I call dibs on the big Guy." said a young man, a year or so older than the other three teens in the room, his dark eyes glaring up. He had long black hair, a ripped sleeved Black shirt over a gray long-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, a chain-link necklace with a bike lock on it with an '11' on it, a pair of khakis and black tennis shoes, and faint trances of horns under his hair as he grabs the ground. The stone on the ground began to creep up, absorbing the stone as it coated his body. He then charged at Thumbskull, who grunts as the two began to grapple with the other.
"I'll take on Frightwig," said Gwen as she gave a sheepish look to the second young woman in the group. The girl in question was a Japanese-American, brown-eyed girl with black hair tied into a small ponytail, a pink hoodie over a her white shirt, a white skirt and white shoes with a black backpack with green stripes and a green circle on the front. "Sorry Julie...guess you get Acid Breath." Suddenly she was grabbed by two of the tentacles and thrown into a wall as Frightwig jumped at the red-haired girl.
The girl in question just rolled her eyes at this as she says, "Good thing Ship can take on that freak's breath. Ship, lets take these guys." Suddenly the backpack came to life, saying 'ship' in a beeping tone as it suddenly went over her, making her grow a bit in height as she was now wearing a black battle suit with green stripes going around her with a green visor to reveal her face.
She then flew at the lanky man, who dodged before glaring at her before breathing a light green mist at her, as the machine gave out pained screeches from the acid's effect on him. "Don't worry, Ship, it won't be long." She said, patting the spot that was hit by the acid in a comforting manner, as the armor gave off a faint groan, showing some pain.
Ben looked at his friends fighting them as he gulped faintly before moving his sleeve down, revealing a white wrist watch-like device with a black dial face with a green triangle on it, making an hourglass shape. He pressed it down, looking through the list before he nods and selects a creature and as the front came out, he slams it down, yelling out "IT'S HERO TIME!"
A green light came out as Zombozo looked nervously as he saw Ben become a muscular, humanoid tiger-like creature with orange fur with black stripes, a white area on his face, hands, feet and chest area, pointed eyebrows on his face and a hourglass-like symbol on his face. "RATH!" He roared out, making the others watch this.
"...Oh no." Gwen groaned, face palming as Julie just sighed, shaking her head as well.
"This can't end well..." Julie said as Acid Breath tried to blast her with another burst of acidic breath, but Julie was able to move out of the way before turning her armor's arm into a cannon and fired a blast of energy, making the lanky man yell out as he was sent into a wall, groaning a bit as he hit the ground. "How come whenever I get to help fight, I get designated the easy target?"
"Because it helps get rid of these guys easier!" Said Kevin as he threw Thumbskull into a wall as Rath growled at Zombozo.
"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, ZOMBOZO! RATH REALLY HATES CLOWN! MORE THAN I HATE PEACOCKS!" he roared as he jumps at Zombozo, roaring out, as Kevin, Frightwig and Julie just stared at this before looking at Gwen, confused.
"Long story, lets just say it involves Dr. Animo when we were kids and leave it at that." said Gwen as she fired a blast at Frightwig, making her yell out as both Kevin and Julie grabbed her hair and threw her right at her teammates, making the three groan out as Gwen chanted something in a whispering tone as the hair tied the three up.
Zombozo got out a mallet and tried to slam it onto Rath, who just catches it with ease as he crushes it with his bare hands before growling at Zombozo, roaring out as Zombozo screamed out in terror as the other three cringed as Julie's armor powered down, turning into a living mass of black and green liquid metal with a green circle for an eye, as the four cringed as they watched the beat down.
"GAH! Help me, he's crazy!" The clown screamed as Julie covered her eyes as Gwen looked away, while Kevin just smirked.
"Come on, Rath! Pile drive that bozo!" said Kevin as both girls glared at him.
"Don't encourage him..." Gwen groaned as Julie walked over, crossing her arms as she watched Zombozo get thrown over her head, making him crash into his henchmen, as Rath panted a bit as he saw Julie giving him a stink eye.
"...What?" asked Rath, crossing his arms. "I don't like him, that's all." He said, looking away as Julie just rolled her eyes at this as she walks over and pets Rath on the head, making him scowl a bit as he calmed down a bit.
"Why are you such a grump in this form, Ben?" Julie asked as Gwen looked at the groaning henchmen before looking at Kevin, who nods as the two walked up.
"Hey, Ben? Julie?" Gwen asked as Ben powered down, looking at the two curiously as Ship slinked between the other couple, going to his owners. "Listen...about what I told you before this heist happened..."
"We know, Gwen. But come on, you really gotta leave?" Ben asked, crossing his arms. "You love helping out here."
"You're just lucky Julie declined, dude. Of course, if you had any brains, you would be heading to collage too." Kevin joked as he powered down, as Julie gave a sheepish look.
"I wasn't really interested, plus I still got training to do with Max." Julie said, rubbing her head at this.
"Come on, there are plenty of good collages near Bellwood." Ben said, as Gwen gave a soft smile.
"There are, but not at Ivy League's level." Gwen said as he looked down, looking disappointed. Gwen put a hand on her cousin's shoulder. "Look, I've helped you save the world for years now. I wouldn't mind seeing what I've been saving."
"Gotcha...so I guess it's just the three of us taking on the world, right Kev?" Asked Ben as Julie cringed a bit.
"Actually...uh...I kind of got a job near campus, so I'm going with." said Kevin as Ben looked even more disappointed.
"Oh...I guess that means the team is splitting, huh?" Ben asked, as Gwen shook her head.
"Nono, We can still visit for holidays or if you really need help. Plus you got Julie and ship, they can be of great help while we're gone." Gwen reassured him as Julie gave a nod.
"Ship, ship!" said Ship, rubbing against Ben in a comforting manner. Ben just smiled at this as he pets the creature, which purred at the touch.
"Plus, we're cousins, it's not like we won't see each other, right?" Gwen said as Ben just nods as he gave a nod.
"Right." Said Ben as Kevin came up, giving the two a smile.
"See ya later man, Jules." said Kevin, as he and Ben were about to hug, but decided to go with a fist bump...but then Kevin grabs Kevin and puts him into a noogie. "You better behave yourselves, OK?" Both Ben and Julie looked at each other in surprise before looking away shyly at that remark.
"Kevin, don't tease." Gwen said as she elbowed him in the stomach as she shared a hug with Julie. "You make sure Ben behaves himself while we're gone, got it?"
"Don't worry, I'll keep him well under control." Julie said with a smile as the two cousins shared a hug as well while Julie gave Kevin a hug goodbye as well, which he returned.
"You two better come visit as much as you can, OK? We don't want it getting to quiet."
"I'll make sure Gwen keeps that in mind." Kevin said with a laugh. "Knowing her, she'd get to stuck in the books to remember." Gwen gave her boyfriend a stink eye before smiling at Ben.
"I'll see you later, OK Doofus?" Gwen said, the last part in a teasing tone. Ben looked down, remembering when they were kids before giving her a smile.
"You too, dweeb." Said Ben with a nod as the other two left, as Ben and Julie waved to them as they left, as Ben looked down a bit, sighing a bit.
Julie looked at him with concern as she put her hand over his, as he squeezed it. Zombozo just chuckled a bit as he groaned a bit, getting up as he looks at the two with a dark chuckle.
"You know...if it wasn't for those two, you wouldn't be able to capture me or my friends...how are you going to fair with only that girlfriend and her pet as your only back up against the threats of the world?" Zombozo asked as Ship growled, his posture going up a bit as he glared at the dog-like creature before giving a growl of his own, making Ship whimper a bit as it hid behind Ben.
"Shut it, Zombozo. I'm a super hero, Julie and I can easily take care of Bellwood even without our team." said Ben as Julie gave a nod, glaring at the clown as well.
"Yeah, that's right-...wait, why are we talking to the crazy clown?" Julie asked, groaning a bit at the last part as Ben nods.
"Come on, let's put our money with our mouths is." Ben said with a smirk...before a growling sound from his stomach was heard, as Julie giggled at that. Ben just gave a sheepish look at this, as Julie grabbed his hand.
"But first lets get something to eat. I sent a signal for the Plumbers to pick these Circus rejects up." said Julie as Ben nods, as the two headed out with Ship not far behind, unsure of what the future would bring, unaware of someone watching the two exit the building from afar, heading to a black and green car with Omnitrix symbols on it. Ben opened the door for Julie as Ship hopped in. Julie gave Ben a peck on the cheek before going into the car as Ben quickly got into the driver's seat.
"So that is our quarry, hmm? Interesting..." said the figure before moving out, a growling tone behind him as a dog-like creature followed after the figure. "Time to see if he is all he cracked up to be..." he walked up, revealing himself to be a green reptilian-looking humanoid wearing what looked like bone armor over a black and red outfit and boots, with razor sharp clawed gloves, gill-like and dark red eyes.
(Later…)
(Downtown Bellwood. 12:30)
Ben drove through town as Julie noticed the local Mr. Smoothie, one of their favorite hangouts. Ben saw it too as the two shared a look and both looked down, remembering Gwen and Kevin weren't there to be with them there.
"Nah, it wouldn't be the same…lets see if there's something at the base for us to eat." Ben suggested, as Julie nods in agreement as the car pulled away from the store and headed off.
"So Julie, how's the academy holding up for you?" Ben asked, wanting to strike a conversation with Julie as she pets Ship.
"Oh the usual. Except the academy got blown up because of two dopes who didn't know how to turn off one of the fusion grenades. Luckily they were able to get us off and get us here on Earth for the rest of our training." Julie said with a sigh.
"…Vreedles?" Ben asked as Julie nods as he just sighed a bit, putting a hand through his hair when he heard that.
"Yeah…I doubt they'll be allowed back after THAT mess up." Julie said as the two went to a plumbing store that read 'Max's Plumbing' on it. The two exited with ship turning into a backpack again to help with his civilian form as the two walked inside to a wide variety of tools and pipes.
"Hmm…no one is here. Good." Said Ben as he walked towards a bathroom marked 'Out of Order', with Julie making sure no one was around before entering herself. The two then stood in front of the toilet as Ben pulled the chain, as a computerized voice analyzed the two.
"Recognized: Tennyson, Benjamin Kirby. Recognized: Yamamoto, Juliette Marie." Said the computer.
"Its just 'Julie'. Why can't that Computer ever just call me that?" Julie muttered to herself as she and Ben were lowered onto a secret elevator that was in the room as it lowered them down to a high tech, green and gray base filled to the brim with alien and humans alike.
The two walked through as Ship turned back to his normal form, looking around from Julie's shoulder as various agents gave them greetings, which they returned as they headed downstairs.
"Hey Grandpa!" Said Ben as an older man, who was in his mid-sixties looked up with a smile. He had dark gray eyes, dark gray hair with lighter gray streaks on the sides of his head, a red floral Hawaiian shirt, a pair of khakis and a pair of black shoes.
"Hello Ben, Julie. You're just in time." Said the older man as four others were currently eating. One was a towering, red-skinned young man with four yellow-orange eyes, four arms 9with the lower left one having a prosthetic, three-fingered hand) with four appendages on each hand with the three good ones having black, fingerless gloves and wearing a green and black jumpsuit.
Next to him was a young woman with blue, reptilian skin, yellow-green eyes, a black helmet covering her head, and wearing a similar jumpsuit to the red skinned young man's with a long, black and blue tail and what appeared to be spheres attached to her feet. Sitting next to her was a tall, muscular young man with neck-length blonde hair, blue eyes and wearing a t-shirt with a '3' on the front and a pair of jeans.
The last person was an African-American teen with a scrawny build, curly black hair and dark eyes, wearing a similar green and black jumpsuit as the other three. The four looked up as they waved as well.
"Yo Ben, we heard what happened with Gwen. That's great for her, but…you OK, dude?" The red skinned young man asked, looking at them with a curious look.
"We're OK, Manny." Said Ben as Julie nods as she looks at what they were eating.
"What are you eating?" asked Julie, confused as Max chuckles as he opens the pot.
"It's Centurian Goulash." Max said as inside of the pot was what looked like a dark red liquid with what looked like noodles and…tentacles and other body parts of some form of cephalopod.
"It's a lot better than it looks. Grab a seat, try some." Said Alan as Ben looked to Julie, both unsure.
"Uh…I'm good. I suddenly lost my appetite. We'll go back on patrol," Ben said sheepishly as he began to push Julie and ship out, as Julie yelled out.
"Ben, I can walk you know!" said Julie as max put the pot down.
"Wait a minute, you two. I got some big news for you two. You're gonna be glad I told you." Max said as he got out a paper as Manny snickered a bit, but got elbowed by the blue girl, named Helen. Cooper and Alan, the other two present, just rolled their eyes at this as Ben put a hand up.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'm great, I wouldn't mind some hero action." Ben said, before whispering to Julie, "And eating something that wasn't made from an octopus." Julie nods in agreement at this.
'Better then the 'all-natural' stuff your mom tries too feed you." Julie reminded him as Ben just sighed as an alarm went off.
"Looks like trouble!" said Cooper as the group ran upstairs to see what was going on, but Ben ran towards the elevator.
"Send the coordinates, we'll be right there!" Ben said as Max looks up at this, seeing Ben go.
"Wait for back up, Ben. I'll send Alpha after you, or Manny's squad." Said Max as Ben just gave a smirk.
"Please, I don't need back up. I'm me." Ben said as he ran off, as Max and the others looked at Julie, who gave a sheepish smile.
"I'll, uh…go make sure he doesn't end up blowing something up…again." Julie said as she quickly ran after him, as Max just shook his head at this.
"Teenagers…" Max muttered to himself, as he got a badge out. "I'm gonna go make a call." The others nod, as they looked at the screen.
(Later…in Upper Bellwood)
Ben drove Julie over to where they were going, as Julie sighed. "I feel kind of bad we didn't hear Max out…he could have had something that was really important, Ben."
"Don't worry, Julie. We'll find out what's going on and then we can hear Grandpa ou-whoa…" Ben stopped himself as he stopped the car with the two going out and looking in horror at the sight before them: An entire building was reduced to rubble with no clear sign of life anywhere.
"…What happened here…?" Julie asked as she looks around cautiously as she whistled a bit for Ship, who came out with her bag as she got out what looked like high-tech sunglasses and activated them, analyzing the area.
Ben and her went down into the crater as he asks, "What did this?" Julie shrugs, a concerned look on her face. "Come on, let's look for any survivors."
Little did they know, the figure from before was standing near a reptilian, canine-like creature with blue scales and red eyes with a blood-red callor before putting on an odd-looking device on it. "Go my friend…attack." He let the dog out before giving off a high-pitched whistle, as the dog growled as it began to grow.
Down below, Ship looked up curiously, confused. "Ship?" it asked, confused as it looked around.
"What's wrong, ship? You hear something?" Julie asked as a thunderous roar is heard as the three looked to the source and went wide eyed at what they saw: A large, rock-like beast with six crab-like legs and a head akin to a rhino with piercing red eyes and what looked like a collar around it's neck. IT gave out a thundering roar as it jumps down on them.
"That could be our demolition crew. Very good job, by the way." Ben smirked as he looked at the creature, which just growled. "Come on, Julie. Lets teach this thing a lesson." Ben said as Julie smirks.
"Gotta power up!" said Julie as Ship turned into his armored form, as Julie got ready. "Ready, Ben?"
"Ready. Lets go, Humongasaur!" Said Ben as he slammed it down, a green light going around him before…it was revealed he had turned into blue, monkey-like creature with four green eyes, four long arms, dark blue skin with a lighter blue fur, a long tail with black stripes on it and three fingers per hand and three toes on each of his feet. He was currently clad with a black jumpsuit that reached to his wrists and ankles with white patches on the shoulders, elbows and chest area with the Omnitrix insignia attached to the chest.
"Spidermonkey?" the newly transformed teen in confusion as the monster slammed him into a wall, making him screech out. "Ugh…I thought I was OVER this sort of glitch…"
"Hey, back off ugly!" Julie said as she fired lasers at the monstrous creature, who just smacked her aside as well, making her and Ship yell out as they hit the wall of the crater. Spidermonkey groaned s the creature slammed him into a wall.
"Ugh…if I was Humongasaur, you would be in so much trouble." Spidermonkey said as he fired webbing at the monster's face from his tail, trying to get to it's eye but it wasn't able to due to his face getting in the way. "Ugh…that isn't helping." He yells out as he got crushed against the wall.
"Ugh…Ben!" Julie said as she fired more energy blasts at the creature from behind, trying to get his attention but the lasers did little against his skin. "Ugh…it's not working…his skin is too thick."
Spidermonkey saw this as he looked up, smirking as he fired a web up to a part of the remains of the building. "OK, I need too get away from-" When he pulled down to climb up, he heard a crumbling sound. "Oh no…" suddenly that part began to fall, putting both under the rubble.
"Ben!" Julie cried out in horror as Ship gave out a shocked screech at that as Spidermonkey groaned as he crawled out of the rubble.
"I'm OK…ow." Spidermonkey groaned as he ran over as Julie sighed out of relief before she gave him a death glare.
"NEVER scare me like that again, got it!" Julie said, angered but relieved he was OK as Spider monkey put his hands up nervously.
"Hey, I was trying to get out of horn-boy's grip. I didn't know it would fall." Spidermonkey said as Julie crossed her arms.
"The rest of that building isn't sound! It would have fallen1" said Julie as the monster roared out as the two looked towards the rubble as the monster charged at them.
"…How about we argue AFTER we run from that monster!" said Ben as Julie powered down with ship on her shoulder.
"Good idea!" Julie said as the two made a run for it, dodging the monster's claws as its owner watched.
"Hmm…that mate is an annoyance, we cannot catch our prey with her…she'll be likely to follow. But that boy…he is worthy prey." He said to himself as he saw Spidermonkey fire web into the monster's eye, making it roar out in pain as it glared at the two with its good eye. He then whistled, making the monster look up before running away.
"Uh…yeah, you better run!" Spidermonkey called out, as Julie looked confused at this.
"Why did it run away?" She asked in confusion as she saw one of the toilets from the remains opened up as a small, green-skinned alien came out. He had eyes on the sides of his head, akin to a bird, with sharp teeth, faintly clawed hands and wearing a black shirt and pants with gray armor on it.
"Is it gone?" it asked as the two jumped back in shock.
"Uh…who are you?" Ben asked, confused as the creature got out of the toilet.
"I am Pakmar, this is my place…well, it was." Pakmar said as he sighed, as Ship looked at him sadly.
"Well, you're safe now.' Ben smirked as Pakmar just gave him a flat look.
"My hero…" He muttered sarcastically as he continued to clean up what was left his store.
"You…need any help, sir?" Julie asked as Pakmar glared.
"No, just go away! Pakmar wants no more trouble." The small creature said as Ben looked around, seeing it in ruins, but didn't say anything. 'All I wanted was to work my Toilet emporium in peace…now look at it."
Julie noticed an odd-looking toilet near by as Ben flushed it, making it move around crazily. The two gave Pakmar an odd look as he just shrugs. "I…rather not know what this is for." Julie muttered as she asks, "Who did this? Angry customer? Given the aliens I've met, I would believe that."
"No. A group of low lives are intimidating all law-abiding businessmen in town. If they have Taytanite, they will give protection. If not, we need protecting from them." Pakmar said, as Julie and Ben went wide-eyed.
"Baumann…he's the only other alien business in town." Ben said as Julie nods.
"We gotta go help him, fast!" the two then went off, as she says, "We'll call some plumbers to help you relocate! We'll take care of those criminals for you!"
Pakmar just yells out "Go away, girl human! Take you and your shape shifty boyfriend and mutt!" as the two cringed at that, knowing he wasn't happy.
(Later…at Baumann's store. 13:32)
The two had parked outside as they stood behind a man who was stacking up cans of food. The man in question was about Max's age with a balding head and wearing a red and pink outfit with the name 'Baumann's' on his apron "So Mr. Baumann, what do you know?" Ben asked, as the man just shrugs.
"I know a lot of things." The man said with a shrug, as Julie looked at the alien patrons.
"What about…alien shake downs?" Julie asked, making the older man look up in surprise.
"Uh…no. Look, I am really busy." Mr. Baumann said, as Ben and Julie shared a look.
"Uh-huh…" Ben said as Mr. Baumann looked around cautiously before pushing the two out as Ship gave out a beep of surprise.
"Look, it was nice seeing you kids again. You can have something to go, just leave. Now." Mr. Baumann said as Ben looked at Julie.
"They're coming now, huh?" Ben asked as Baumann groaned.
"Look, it's a simple arrangement, OK? I pay them and they leave my business alone." Baumann said as Julie looked at him with concern.
"Mr. Baumann, we've seen what these guys can do. That guy, Pakmar, lost his business already. He could have died from that explosion. We don't want to see these guys do anything to you or anyone else." Ben said, looking at the older man with some concern as Baumann looked around and sighed.
'Fine…just sit at the counter you two. And don't make a spectacle of yourself." Baumann said as he went to the counter as the two smirked.
"Ship, Galvanic Mechamorph disguise, please?" Julie said as Ship nods as he got on her head and began to melt down, making he look like a feminine form as Julie looked at Ben.
Ben smirked as he looked through his aliens. "Lets see…Eeny-meeny-you." Ben then slammed down, as he turned into a broad-shouldered, white skinned alien with a face on where his torso would be, a black stripe on his face that went over his eyes, a black sleeves on his arms and legs to make a jumpsuit-like look with a stripe on the forehead, and sharp clawed hands and golden-yellow armor with the omnitrix insignia on the forehead area, though this ended up with Baumann seeing him accidentally knock over his stack of cans, making both him and Julie face palm as a cloaked figure looked at the two curiously.
"Uh…my bad!" Cannonbolt said sheepishly as he went to the counter, with some cans in hand as he gave a sheepish look to everyone as Julie put a hand up to hide her embarrassment as Ship gave a groan.
"You HAD to pick the walking bowling ball?" Julie asked as the two sat at the counter, with Cannonbolt accidentally bending the chairs under his weight.
"Don't blame me, blame this stupid watch. I can't seem to get it work. You'd think Azmuth would give me something to make sure this doesn't automatically give me the wrong alien." Cannonbolt said as he heard his stomach growl a bit as he looked to the hooded man with a sandwich in front of him. 'Uh, hey dude, you gonna finish that?"
"Ben, that's rude." Julie said in an annoyed look as the man calmly gave him his sandwich, much to the two's surprise.
"Uh…thanks. Think you can pass me the-" Before Cannonbolt could finish, the other items were given at surprisingly fast speed. "Whoa! Uh, thanks." Said Cannonbolt as Baumann gave Julie one as well, as Julie and Ben both picked up their sandwiches when-
"Pay up, Baumann." Said a voice as three thugs walked into the building. The source of the voice was a worm-like alien in a battle suit with a cloud of blue mist on the inside of his helmet. Next to him were a feminine machine-like creature with a rounded head and a battle suit and a humanoid, chicken-like creature with dark eyes, razor blades on his arms and brown pants.
"Bwaa-Yeah, you know what happened to Pakmar." Said the chicken man as both Julie and Cannonbolt shared a look.
"I heard he had a great deal on Toilets, too bad for him." Cannonbolt said, setting his sandwich down as Baumann gave him a frown.
"Yeah…well, accidents can happen." Said the female as she cracked her knuckles. "Right, Mr. Baumann?" She then motioned to a large device of some kind, which looked similar to a time bomb
"Alright, here." Baumann said as he went t get the money as the chicken man took some of the near-by birdseed and began to eat it as Baumann got some blue crystals out, which the armored alien took.
"Thanks." Said the man with a smirk as Julie and Ben both got up, Ben accidentally making a crack in the counter as they got up.
'Hold it, Bubble-head." Cannonbolt said as ship's eye glowed a bit, as Baumann groaned a bit.
"This doesn't concern you two, so buzz off." Said Bubble Helmet as his partners, Liam and Fistina, glared.
"Sorry, but we're not gonna let you intimidate people any more." Julie said as Bubble Helmet frowned as he got out two laser lances.
"Well then, you two are gonna need to learn your lesson." Bubble Helmet said as he fired out lasers, which Ben and Julie dodged as Cannonbolt rolled up and charged at the worm-like alien, as Baumann hid under the counter, the Patrons running away.
Cannonbolt rammed into Bubble helmet, making him crash into some shelves as Julie saw Fistina glaring down at her, cracking her knuckles as Julie says, "Ship, Battle mode!" Suddenly Ship, with Julie still under him, changed into her armored state as Fistina and her pushed against the other, Fistina smirking.
"Ah, so you are using this Galvanic mechamorph as a pet, hmm? Interesting…" Fistina said as Julie just glared as she pushed back, using her energy blasts to get Fistina into a wall.
"Ugh…I knew this would happen…" Baumann muttered as the hooded figure just calmly continued to eat, mostly ignoring the action around him as Fistina ran at Julie, but Cannonbolt hit her into a group of shelves, making him and Julie cringe.
"Uh…we'll clean that up." Said Julie sheepishly as Baumann groaned.
"You always say that…all of you plumbers always say that…" Baumann groaned as Liam glared at the two, running at them and sending a jump kick their way, making Cannonbolt yell out as he knocked over the birdseed before Julie was also kicked, sending her right into the counter.
"Ok…this form is too bulky…" Julie said as Cannonbolt groaned as he saw Liam advancing, his claws out. Cannonbolt saw the birdseed near by and took a handful, as Liam looked curiously before coming over to take some…but Cannonbolt Smirked as he grabs him and rolls him up, rolling away as Fistina got up and fired her hand at Ben, which just ricochets off of Cannonbolt's armor.
Bauuman yelled out as he ducked, but the patron just calmly moved his food out of the way again as the fist returned, with Fistina yelling out as Liam was dropped him. Julie looked up and saw bubble Helmet starting the machine as she glares.
"Oh no you don't!" Said Julie as she says, "Speed Mode, now!" Said Julie as Ship glowed a bit, making the armor shrink down to become a more form-fitting jumpsuit with wheels going from her lower calf to her ankles, and disc-like protrusions on her wrists with a helmet with two spikes on the side with a green visor covering the upper half of her face, the lower half now free. Ship's eye moved down towards her chest area, becoming similar to an insignia there.
Bubble Helmet smirked as he saw Julie suddenly speeding towards him, the wheels on her feet giving her more speed as he says, "Too late, kid." As he presses a button as a red force field came over it, making Julie go wide eyed as she saw it beginning to count down.
Liam groaned as he and Fistina got up and ran over, as Liam kicked at Julie, but she dodged due to the more aerodynamic look on her new armor, as she sent a kick of her own at Liam.
Cannonbolt saw the bomb and rolled at it as Julie took on Fistina and Liam, using her advanced speed to duck and dodge the attacks. "I got the bomb, Julie!" HE said as a beeping sound came out before it timed out, making Ben call out in shock as he hit the force field with a groan. "Really bad timing, Omnitrix…"
'See ya, Baumann. Liam, Fistina, come on!" Said Bubble Helmet said as the two got up, as Julie growled and rolled over, helping Ben up.
"Isn't this usually when your other friends show up and help save the day?" Baumann asked in a flat tone, as the hooded figure suddenly jumped up, ditching the cloak to reveal his true form.
In front of them now was a young man, around his early 20s, with a cat-like appearance. He had periwinkle fur with white skin on his face, pointed ears, red eyes with yellow corneas, and wearing black and blue high-tech armor with a strange-looking weapon on his shoulder.
"…I was being sarcastic." Baumann muttered as Julie looked at Ben with confusion.
"Who is that?" Julie asked as the young alien jumped ahead, kicking Fistina in the back as he used a sweeping kick at Liam, making him squawk out in shock as he fired a blast of energy from his weapon, which sent down Bubble Helmet. He then looks at the shocked Julie and Ben, as Julie's helmet retreated to reveal her face.
"Who are you?" Ben asked, shocked as he gave a calm look to the two, as Julie looked at him with a curious gaze.
"I am Rook Blonco. I was sent by Magester Tennyson to aid you" Said Rook, as Ben looked surprised when he did a kick at Liam when he tried to sneak up on him. "I am your new teammate."
"Wait, you're gonna be part of our team?" Julie asked, as Ship beeped something in confusion.
"I didn't ask for a new teammate. OK…Uh, I'm Ben Tennyson, this is Julie Yamamoto." Said Ben as Julie just waved. "The armor is ship, her pet Galvanic Mechamorph."
"Yes, I know. It is an honor to meet you all." Rook said in a polite tone, as Ben gave a frown.
"I'm the wielder of the Omnitrix, and not to brag, but I saved the universe a thousand times." Ben said with a smirk.
"You forgot 'humble'." Julie muttered, rolling her eyes at this.
"Yes, I know. It's a required study back in the Plumber Academy." Rook said, as Ben looked surprised as he looked at a sheepish Julie.
"Only about a chapter or so, Ben. They don't know much about what you did when you were 10." Julie said sheepishly as Ben nods, understanding as he saw bubble helmet and his goons get up.
"Look, we had this handled." Ben said as Rook looked at the damaged store.
"I apologize, I thought you needed assistance." Rook said as Ben saw the goons get up.
"Don't stop though, the Omnitrix is timed out!" Ben said as Julie quickly fired the discs at the two, making them fall on top of Bubble Helmet as Rook fired a net, capturing the three easily. "Nice…what is that thing?"
"It is a proto-tool. Its one of the most versatile weapons in the galaxy…I made some modifications." Rook said as Ship suddenly began to beep, becoming liquid form again as he began to jump at Rook, making him moves it away from him. "Down, small creature. Stop that."
"Ship, don't be rude." Julie scolded the creature, picking him up as Ship looked at the bomb curiously before whimpering a bit in fear. "What are we gonna do about this?" Then Ben heard the Omnitrix time in.
"Yes! Julie, Rook, I got this now." Said Ben as he slammed down the Omnitrix, a glow coming around him as he took a new form. His body grew in size, taking a more colorful form as he became something similar to a coral-like material with rounded bumps on his body, which was blue, yellow and red in color with green orbs for eyes and having and a thick appearance, making him look akin to a humanoid ape.
"Hmm…who's this guy? Hmm…I know, I'll call him BLOXX!" said Bloxx as he flexed his arms before glaring at the bomb, trying to punch it down, but saw his hands shattered on impact. "What the?" They then grew back, making him scowl. "Rook, tag out!"
"Sir?" Rook asked as he and Julie, with Ship in the form of a blaster, looked at him oddly.
"I mean switch places. You two deal with the bomb, I'll get these guys." Bloxx said as they nod with the two heading to the bomb as Bloxx formed a barrier around them.
"How do you turn off the bomb?" Bloxx asked as the answer he got was just being fired at. "…Yeah, that helps…" he muttered, annoyed as the spots that got blasted healed over.
"OK, what do we have here?" Julie asked as Ship reformed armor around her, turning back into his default state as Ship analyzed it.
"Hmm…it's giving off an interesting energy field." Rook said looking at it calmly as Julie went wide eyed as Ship finished analyzing it.
"Whoa…this is high grade stuff…this bomb is level 10 tech. And judging by what happened to Pakmar's toilet store, this place will be a crater." Julie said as Ship tried to fire at it with their laser, but groaned a bit as nothing happened as she tried to reach through, but Ship cried out in pain from the energy. "Oh, sorry Ship! I didn't mean that, really." She said, petting the part of the armor that got hit, as Ship whimpered a bit.
"Hmm…it is unable to get touched by a Galvanic Mechamorph…" Rook said, concerned as Bloxx looked at them.
"How's it coming, you two?" Bloxx asked as Julie looked up.
"The force field isn't gonna let Ship through, so I can't defuse it. Rook, use that Proto-thing!" Said Julie as Rook nods as he got up and activated it before pointing it at a wall.
"Wait, what are you doing?" asked Baumann as Rook fired a missile at the wall, making a hole appear.
"What are you, insane?" Julie asked, annoyed by that. Rook looked at her curiously at this. Baumann just groaned, not liking this at all. "We're trying to help Mr. Baumann, not wreck his store even further!"
"I do not have any form of mental disorder, I can assure you, Miss Yamamoto. And also, please watch your language. It is quite rude" Rook said calmly as he looks at Ben, as Julie blinked at that last part, confused. "Mr. Tennyson, I cannot defuse the force field due to it having an becurix algorithm, we need to get it away from the populous."
"English!" Bloxx said in annoyance as the energy blasters continued to fire at him.
"Help me move it outside." Rook clarified as Bloxx got away from the three criminals and went over to them and grabbed the bomb and ran out, Julie and Rook following suit. Bloxx was about to throw it, but Rook yelled out to stop him. He then got out a tracking device and looked around.
"Yeah…just take your time…it's not like this bomb won't BLOW US UP!" Julie said in annoyance.
Bloxx looked at the bomb in concern as he says, "She's joking, by the way; Hurry up!"
"I am looking for any signs of life…you are good to go." Rook said as Bloxx was about to throw, but the three criminals fired his arms, making him drop the bomb.
"OK, these guys are getting annoying." Julie muttered as she glared at the three as She and Rook covered their fire as Bloxx went to grab the bomb.
"I got it!" He said…as it fell to the ground. "I don't got it…" He said as it sent out a shockwave. He quickly changed into a catapult with the bomb in his hands and threw it across the road to the abandoned building.
"Everyone, take cover!" Rook said as the three ran away, the criminals looking shocked. "Three…two…ONE!" Bloxx quickly formed a barrier over them as the bomb exploded across the street, destroying the building and leaving a large crater behind.
Bloxx turned back to normal and turned back to Ben as he looks at Julie, Ship and Rook. "You three OK?"
"Yeah, thanks Ben." She said, giving him a relieved look as she walked over and pecked his cheek. "Thanks for the save."
"Heh, no problem. Yo Rook, you doing OK?" Ben asked as Rook gave a friendly smile.
"I am alright, my Proto Tech armor helped. Thank you for the aid, Mr. Tennyson." Said Rook as Ben gave him a flat look.
"Call me Ben, Dude." Said Ben as Rook thought it over.
"…Alright, Ben-Dude.' Said Rook as Julie groaned.
"It's Reinny all over again…" Ben muttered as he saw Bubble Helmet, Liam and Fistina running out of the store. The three looked at each other and ran after them, Ship going onto Julie's back as they ran after them down a hole in the ground.
They followed after them, with Ben and Julie stopping when they saw a surprising sight. "No way…" Ben said as he saw what looked like a small town hidden underground, having reworked an abandoned subway station and sewer area into a livable area, with Rook passing by them.
"Well…nothing better to do…come on lets go find out who's their boss." Julie said as Ben nods with the two following after Rook.
Unbeknownst to them, the hunter from before, looked at the crater as he frowns. "No one escapes from Khyber…my friend, get the Omnitrix bearer…and get rid of those two with him while you're at it." The dog nods as it ran after them, Khyber just watched before looking ahead, a dark smirk on his face as he walked after his beast, keeping a calm composure the whole way.
