Prologue: End of a Road Trip!
(Current Timeline: Original)
It was a quiet ride back to the town of Amity Park. And our young hero, Daniel James Fenton, was not at all looking forward to going back. He knew that he would be the prime target for the jocks at school as soon as he got back from his summer road trip with the Tennysons, but that didn't mean that he'd be taking a willing beating from them! If anything, Danny would fight back against them regardless if it got him into trouble. Why should he get in trouble for fighting back in self defense?
But right now, there was an uncomfortable silence in the Rustbucket. Danny wasn't speaking at all, and was just trying to get used to the new selection system of his Nemetrix. It wasn't that hard to determine which face belonged to which predator, but there was one alien in particular that really got him confused. For one thing, the space on the wheel where his face goes was green instead of red, and it looked like the face of an herbivore. But why would there be an herbivore amongst a bunch of carnivores?
"Is everything okay, Danny?" Nova asked.
She was worried about Danny. Ever since the summer ended, he's been quiet and depressed. But she understood why. When he was on this trip Danny was shown true friendship and unity, but now he had to go back to Amity Park where all that was waiting for him there was scorn. Danny stopped fiddling with the Nemetrix, and put an arm around Nova.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. I just wish that the team didn't have to split up." Danny explained.
"Hey, don't worry about a thing Danny! We're still a team just like the old days!" Tucker said, missing the predatory glare that Danny was giving him.
"I was talking about my REAL team. Me, Ben, Gwen, and Nova." Danny said.
He may have been slashed across the eye by his evil double, but at least the eye itself wasn't damaged. But now he had a cross shaped scar over his right eye that made Danny look a lot more like a badass! But it was his proclamation that shocked Tucker and Sam. Why wouldn't he want them to be a part of his team anymore?
"You're joking, right Danny?" Sam asked in a disbelieving tone.
Danny's glare just hardened, which looked a lot more intimidating due to the slit pupils in his eyes.
"No Samantha, I most certainly am NOT joking. You two gave up the right to be considered teammates and friends when you betrayed me for popularity!" growled Danny.
Maddie could tell from the way her son was gripping the handle of his sword Niryuuga that he was getting close to going on a killing spree. She got up, and decided to intervene before the situation escalated.
"Alright now, everyone just calm down! I know that we may be having a few professional disagreements, but I'm sure that with time all of this will blow over." Maddie said.
Danny didn't speak. He just activated his new Nemetrix, selected an alien, and pressed down on the core which popped up after the square faceplate slid back. In a flash of red, Danny became one of his more well known predators.
It was a predator that looked like a saber tooth cat mixed with a hyena in body type. The fur on the lower half of the body and his face was a deep red, and he had shaggy black fur running down from the back of his head all along his back, and on the back of his front legs. A small horn grew from his nose, and two huge saber teeth jutted from his upper jaw. He also grew a long tail that had two bladed bone spikes at the tip, and his eyes turned red with black slit pupils. The Nemetrix turned into a red and black spiked collar around his neck to complete the transformation.
"Terror Tiger!" Danny yelled.
Nemetrix Database Entry
Species Name: Panuncian
Given name: Terror Tiger
The Panuncian is the apex predator of the planet Hathor. It is the natural predator of the Splixson race, and is very well equipped to take on such slippery prey. Since the Splixson race is capable of self cloning, the Panuncian has developed its own unique cloning power. They are also agile, quick on their feet, and incredibly fast runners.
But just because they are apex predators doesn't mean that they're invincible. It is possible to render a Panuncian immobile by forcing a large amount of water down its gullet which causes them to bloat like a balloon. They can also be outsmarted and outmaneuvered if you know what you're doing.
Terror Tiger growled menacingly at the goth and the geek before curling up next to Nova. He sent them one last glare which really freaked them out.
"Neither of you come near me, or you are going to lose a limb!" Terror Tiger threatened.
He laid his head down and began to relax as Nova scratched his ear to help him calm down. It had the desired effect, as Terror Tiger began to purr from Nova's touch, and his tail began to sway in a calm manner. Sam was really starting to wish that she was the one that Danny was in a relationship with. Hey, she couldn't help it if she played hard to get and had a tendency to get jealous easily.
Thinking that Danny didn't really mean what he said when he threatened them, Sam moved her hand to scratch Terror Tiger's ear. The Panuncian didn't take too kindly to this, and swiped his claws at the Gothic teen with a loud snarl. His hackles were raised showing how angered he was at the audacity of this girl.
"Don't think that my purring means ANYTHING to the likes of you, Manson!" Terror Tiger said with a growl.
He jumped off the bed, and sat in a proud posture in the middle of the floor. His ears flattened against the back of his head in annoyance at his former friend.
"I just happen to like when Nova scratches my ear..." Terror Tiger said sheepishly.
He moved so fast that you'd think he teleported right back to Nova's side.
"Again! Please!" Terror Tiger begged.
While taken by surprise by the sudden burst of speed, Nova was more than happy to oblige. She started to scratch him behind the ear, and Terror Tiger resumed his purring. Once again, Sam grew jealous at the show of affection between the two.
'That should be ME scratching Danny behind the ear, not that alien whore!' Sam thought to herself.
As if sensing what Sam was thinking, Terror Tiger glared at her and released a warning growl. Naturally, this show of aggression made the gothic teenage girl back off. Soon, the Rustbucket came to a stop next to an open field. Everyone piled out, and Danny turned back to normal.
Danny and Ben walked to opposite sides of the field, and began to choose an alien for use. Danny looked at Ben with a smirk that said 'bring it on, rookie'! Naturally, Ben accepted the challenge, and readied his Omnitrix for a sparring match with Danny.
"Why do those two always have to spar at every stop we make?" Gwen asked herself.
She knew that Danny had quite a few new predators in his arsenal now, and he wanted to make sure that he knew how to use them, but did he have to fight her cousin to do so? It seemed a little overkill when you think about it. But Gwen also knew that there was no talking these two out of it when they set their minds on something.
"You ready for this, short stuff?" Danny asked in a friendly competitive way.
"Bring it!" Ben replied.
There were two flashes of red and green, and in their places stood two of the same alien. They both looked like a cross between a gorilla and a fox, but their most notable feature was that neither had any eyes. Instead, they had these gill slits on the sides of their necks. They had dog-like hands and feet with black curved claws, sharp dagger-like teeth, and long muscular arms that looked like those of a gorilla. But whereas Ben had these quills on his back and forearms, Danny's fur looked like it was totally smooth. Neither of them had tails, but while Ben's fur was a dark orange color, Danny's fur was bright red like the color of fresh blood with dark red stripes beginning to develop along his back. The Omnitrix relocated itself to Ben's right shoulder, but like with Terror Tiger, the Nemetrix became a red and black spiked collar around his neck. Ben roared as his transformation was complete, but Danny actually spoke.
"BLOODHOUND!"
Omnitrix/Nemetrix Database Entry
Species Name: Vulpimancer
Given Name(Ben): Wildmutt
Given Name(Danny): Bloodhound
Native mainly to the planet Vulpin and the Null Void, Vulpimancers are a powerful race of aliens. Contrary to popular belief, Vulpimancers do have a language. It's just far too complex for the Omnitrix's Universal Translator to comprehend. They are also incapable of speaking English. They may look like a mix of foxes and gorillas, but Vulpimancers are something else entirely.
Vulpimancers can grow to be twice the size of a pickup truck when fully mature, and they have the physical strength to back it up. Vulpimancers are pack hunters preferring to flank their prey from all directions, but they were no pushovers on their own either. When on their own, a Vulpimancer will overwhelm its prey with physical strength and dozens of deadly combos. They can also shoot their quills as a weak, but useful mid to long range attack. Since Vulpimancers don't have eyes, they use the 'gills' on their necks as scent receptors to detect the pheromones and body heat of prey.
But when infected with an Earth cold virus, these 'gills' will end up clogged with mucus thus rendering them blind and vulnerable. They also aren't that smart, as they are more instinct prone than most other species.
The others were shocked by the new transformation that Danny had gained, but they were even more surprised by one crucial fact. And that fact was...
"You TALK?!" they asked.
"Well sure I talk. What do you think I am? A mime?" Bloodhound asked in a guttural voice, like he was constantly growling.
"No, it's not that. It's just that whenever Ben turns into Wildmutt he loses the ability to speak English. What's different here?" Gwen explained/asked.
They were all puzzled by this. Even Bloodhound was a little confused on this matter. However, there was one thing that Bloodhound had meant to do. And that was tell the others that he didn't want to turn into this form yet.
"It's strange. I was trying to turn into Mucilator." Bloodhound said.
"Huh! I was going for Four Arms." Wildmutt said.
Bloodhound understood what Ben was saying, but the others only heard a series of barks and growls coming from the mouth of the younger Vulpimancer. The others looked confused from this, so Bloodhound decided to translate.
"He said that he was trying to turn into Four Arms." Bloodhound translated.
But he got no warning as Wildmutt pounced to initiate the spar. The two Vulpimancers were rolling around the ground clawing at biting each other. They ended up kicking up a dust cloud in the process making the spar look like something out of a cartoon, a comic book, or an anime. The others stood there even more confused than ever, while Nova was watching with a bucket of popcorn that came from... Somewhere.
I'm afraid that this is all I've got for now. But I promise that next chapter will be longer than this one, and I'll include a great big fight scene! Oh yeah, and here's a list of rules for the new aliens that I need.
1. Must be an herbivore.
2. Must have a species name, and a name that Danny will give it!
3. Must include an accurate and well written description of it. (Coloration, form, size, etcetera.)
4. Must include a list of powers and abilities.
5. Must include a list of weaknesses.
6. Must include whether it is alive or extinct.
Thank you all, and enjoy the prologue of the sequel! Hope to hear some great reviews from all of you!
