I don't own Digimon or Ben 10
Daisuke, Ben, Kevin and Gwen who was now wearing a red blouse over a white shirt with grey pants were in Daisuke's house sitting on the couch watching the TV. "The aliens are already among us," a voice said as a video of Wildmutt running through a river, followed by one of Swampfire with vines coming off her body, then off Brainstorm from the pier, and then of Echo Echo and several copies ran past an alley and then one of Jetray flying. "Strange creatures with unbelievable powers, aliens are real, but that isn't the amazing part. This is all the aliens that you've just seen are actually alter egos of one woman. Her name...is Daisuke Motomiya," the voice said as an image of Daisuke appeared on the screen and Daisuke's jaw dropped.
"Oh you are so busted," Kevin said with a chuckle.
"That's not my best angle," Daisuke said as Ben changed the channel to see Humungousaur with her foot stuck in a car and she kicked it off and it crashed into something, then a video of Rath being thrown into a supporting column a bridge appeared and Rath stood up only for a rock to hit her in the head.
"Every channel Dai, all weekend they've shown nothing but you wrecking things and they know who you are," Ben told her.
"Nobody cares if I'm a superhero!" Daisuke exclaimed angrily walking to the door.
"Super menace," Kevin said.
"Oh shut it," Daisuke replied opening the door to see dozens of reporters and cameramen and several took pictures of her and she shut the door. "Okay maybe some people care," she said.
"You better lie low for a while, let's go to my place," Ben told her.
"And how do you hope to get past all of those paparazzi?" Gwen asked.
"I got a plan," Daisuke answered and she walked outside.
"Miss Motomiya, do you have a statement?" a reporter asked and she took a microphone and smirked.
"Oh yeah, I got one alright," Daisuke answered before she was enveloped in a flash of gold light and she transformed into Humungousaur who roared and the reporters ran off screaming, Humungousaur then coughed before turning back into Daisuke who coughed as well. "Man, growling really hurts my throat," she said.
"You should have used one of your new ultimate aliens," Kevin told her as he, Ben and Gwen walked up to her.
"I wanted to just scare them, not make them crap their pants," Daisuke replied. A few minutes later Daisuke and Ben were watching the TV in Ben's front room. "Thanks for letting me hang out here Ben," she said.
"Hey no problem, my parents are out for a while. We got plenty of time to kill," he replied turning the TV on and a turned it to one of the many news channels. "Oh man, this guy hates you," Ben told her and Daisuke saw a man with a black suit and black tie with glasses and brown eyes and hair on the TV.
"Welcome back to the Will Harangue Nation, our top story has got to be Daisuke Motomiya, sixteen year old high school student who has been ousted as a one woman or should I say girl alien invasion," the man said as the same picture of Daisuke from before appeared on the screen.
"Alien invasion?" Daisuke asked. "And why does everyone use that picture?" she asked.
"You look adorable," Ben told her and she smiled. "Sweet and goofy," he said chuckling and Daisuke groaned.
"Footage gathered over the past year but only now do we know that all these seemingly unconnected alien attacks..." Will Harangue said.
"Attacks!?" Daisuke asked.
"Have been the work of Daisuke Motomiya, in her various alien disguises for who knows what sinister purpose," Will Harangue said.
"How about saving the entire universe, how's that for sinister!?" Daisuke shouted angrily.
"Unbelievably some people defend the actions of Motomiya, claiming he's some kind of superhero. Obviously ridiculous, but that's not for me to say no. I leave that to you the viewers and tonight's poll, Daisuke Motomiya threat or menace call in with your vote," Will Harangue said and Daisuke growled.
"How about we go for a drive in your car that always cheers you up" Ben suggested.
"I don't need cheering up, I'm not upset that everyone hates me," Daisuke said and soon she and Ben were inside Daisuke's car driving down the road. "Maybe it's for the best, maybe I can do more to help as a public superhero then what I did in secret," Daisuke said. "Even though people think I'm a menace,"
"Only 26% think you're a menace," Ben told her and she smiled at him. "But 74% think you're a threat,"
"Oh just terrific," Daisuke said as both heard a car horn honking and Kevin's car was coming down the other side of the road and both cars stopped and rolled the driver side windows down.
"Sometimes I think the only reason why you guys used to hang with me was because I was the only one who could drive," Kevin said.
"Maybe at first," Daisuke told him. "What do you want?" she asked him.
"While you guys have been moping around and hiding from reporters, I've been doing some actual work, looking for a real problem," Kevin answered.
"Like what?" Ben asked.
"Something we can hit. I found out your secret ID and blabbed it all over the internet I say we go over and give him a piece of our minds," Kevin answered.
"Best news I've heard all day," Daisuke said cracking her knuckles and soon the four of them were slowly walking up a flight of stairs.
"Am I the only one with common sense?" Gwen asked.
"Yes," the others answered as they arrived at a door and a light went out making Ben yelp before Kevin covered his mouth.
"Quiet," he whispered.
"Why are we whispering?" Ben asked.
"Behind that door is the mastermind," Kevin said.
"Oh for the love of Pete," Daisuke said knocking on the door.
"What're you doing?" Kevin asked absorbing the metal from doorknob and the door opened to reveal a woman who noticed Daisuke's jacket.
"Oh you must be friends of James," she said. "Jimmy!" she shouted.
"I'm coming mom," a young voice replied and a boy walked into view with a jacket like Daisuke's.
"That's the mastermind?" Ben asked shocked.
"I don't believe this," Gwen said.
"Daisuke Motomiya, I'm Jimmy Jones great to meet ya," the boy now know as Jimmy said and Daisuke's jaw dropped in shock and soon Daisuke and her team walked into Jimmy's room where they saw pictures of Daisuke's aliens and several newspaper clippings and a picture of Daisuke surrounded by the alien pictures, also around the room were pictures of various Digimon including ones of Veemon and Daisuke.
"Why did you do this to Dai?" Ben asked Jimmy.
"I don't understand do what?" he asked.
"Ruin her life!" Ben answered.
"I would never do anything to hurt Miss Motomiya, I'm a fan," Jimmy said as Kevin grabbed him and lifted him off the ground.
"Kevin, that's enough!" Daisuke shouted and Kevin dropped Jimmy onto his bed and he sniffed and his eyes began to water.
"Dude, you are not gonna cry," Kevin said.
"Stop being mean Kevin," Gwen told him.
"Whatever," Kevin replied as Daisuke sat down beside Jimmy and handed him a tissue and he blew into it.
"I'm sorry Miss Motomiya," he apologised.
"Why did you post that video?" Daisuke asked him.
"I run a website, I collect pictures of aliens and those Digimon things that people have taken from all over the world," Jimmy explained walking over to his computer. "Then I discovered most of the aliens came from Bellwood, so I began to sort them and I discovered lots of them where wearing this symbol," he said pointing to the Omnitrix symbol on the computer screen.
"So you pieced together Daisuke's identity when you saw a picture of her with the Omnitrix," Gwen said.
"Right," Jimmy replied. "I found stories all over the net about how you helped people and saved the world," he said and Daisuke smiled at him. "I just thought everybody should know how cool and awesome you are,"
"Thanks for trying to help but by exposing who I am, you've made it harder for me to help people," Daisuke told him.
"I'm sorry," he replied. "I'd thought you'd like the fame, you know all the attention and money," Jimmy said.
"Attention?" Ben asked.
"Money?" Kevin asked and both smiled.
"Why don't you show us what you've learned?" Gwen asked and Jimmy nodded.
"I've got pictures of all your aliens, Humungousaur, Goop, Jeffrey," he said to Daisuke.
"Jeffrey? It's Jetray," Daisuke corrected him.
"Huh, I guess that does make more sense," Jimmy said scratching his head and Daisuke nodded before she saw a picture of a different alien, this one looked like a two legged red, mollusc-like alien, with small grey spikes on the top of its arms and behind it's legs, black spots were on its shoulders and legs, it had four fingers with claws on them and on each one of his feet there was a grey spike, it's lower torso was grey with two spikes on the sides.
"And this one?" she asked pointing at the picture.
"I thought it was one of your aliens," Jimmy answered but Daisuke shook her head. "It just showed up a few months ago, all of the sightings have been in Orlando Florida, I got some footage of it," he explained bringing up a video to show the alien walking towards two military guards and it fired water jets at them sending them flying before it turned and fired water from its hand at the camera.
"No sound huh?" Daisuke asked him.
"I was lucky to get the video," he answered as Daisuke shared a look with the others.
"Road trip!" Ben exclaimed.
"We can use Ship," Gwen said.
"Don't have too. We can take the Rust Bucket," Kevin said.
"I'm not driving to Florida," Daisuke said.
"Not that Rust Bucket, the new Rust Bucket," Kevin said and soon Daisuke was driving her car towards an abandoned air force base with Ben and Gwen inside the car and they all saw a large green ship.
"Whoa," Daisuke and Ben said in awe.
"Nice huh?" Kevin's voice asked over Gwen's Plumber's badge. "It was a standard Plumber Ship but I've made some improvements," he said as a ramp opened and Daisuke drove up it and it closed behind them and the trio walked into the bridge to see Kevin in the pilot's chair.
"Specs?" Daisuke asked him walking up.
"Supersonic in atmosphere. Subspace, hyperdrive for effective FTL. Bonus gizmos I've acquired here and there," Kevin answered.
"Sweet. This is going to be the coolest thing I ever crashed!" Ben exclaimed as Gwen looked at a computer screen.
"Extranet access! We can use our Plumbers' badges to access any database on Earth. Even secure ones!" she exclaimed.
"Boring," Ben replied.
"Let's go!" Daisuke exclaimed and Kevin nodded and he flipped some switches and the jet's engines roared to life and it lifted into the air before blasting off.
"I found the source of the video, it's from a top secret NASA facility, I'm sending you the coordinates," Gwen told Kevin.
"No problem, we'll be there in two minutes," he replied as the ship flew off and suddenly alarms blared. "Trouble, we're entering restricted airspace," Kevin said and sure enough three fighter jets flew up and fired rockets towards the Rust Bucket.
"Incoming," Daisuke said and Kevin took the controls and dodged some of the rockets but one hit rocking the ship violently.
"This is a new paintjob!" Kevin shouted and an energy weapon emerged and fired at a jet cutting it in half and the pilot ejected.
"Kevin! They're on our side!" Gwen told him.
"No harm done, he ejected and his parachute is slightly on fire," Kevin said nervously and sure enough the pilots parachute was burning up.
"Open it!" Daisuke told Kevin and a small hatch opened below Daisuke and she fell down a chute and turned into Jetray once she left the ship and she sped towards the pilot but the other two jets fired at her and she growled as she was hit before she went supersonic and vanished from sight, she then reappeared between the two jets and fired energy blasts at the guns destroying them and she flew down and grabbed the pilot before he hit the ground. She then landed and dropped the pilot only for several soldiers to surround her and she held her arms up. "Uh...take me to your leader," she said.
"If you so much as twitch you're going down," a soldier told her.
"Whoa, guys ease up," Jetray said as she turned back into Daisuke. "I'm the famous Daisuke Motomiya, the superhero, I'm sure you've heard of me," she said, soon she was inside a cell. "I know I'm supposed to get a phone call!" she shouted at the guard who ignored her and Kevin, Ben and Gwen walked in following a general.
"Let her out," the general said and the guard did so.
"How did you?" Daisuke asked when Gwen pulled out her Plumber's badge.
"We showed them these," she answered.
"Even thought the Plumbers are top secret, every government on Earth recognises your authority in these matters," the general explained.
"Turns out NASA has a problem," Kevin said.
"A problem I understand is right up your alley," the general said. Soon Daisuke, Ben, Gwen and Kevin were with the general as he looked at a large rocket. "We call it the Orion, it's capable of travelling at 15% the speed of light," he explained and Kevin whistled impressed.
"How did you manage that?" he asked.
"Nuclear pulse drive, once clear of the Earth a series of atomic bombs explode propelling it through space," the general answered. "We've been building it for fifty years but now a series of robberies has shut us down,"
"Robberies?" Daisuke asked.
"A creature comes in every night and steals pieces from the ship. Nothing we've tried can stop it, I was hoping that you people would have more luck," the general said and soon the same creature which was seen on the video footage emerged from the water and it blasted through the wall and walked towards the space ship, Gwen and Kevin ran towards the alien on platforms of mana while Ben equipped his exo-suit and he jumped down, just as Daisuke was about to turn into an alien the Ultimatrix beeped and glowed yellow.
"Uncatalogued DNA detected unable to transform at this time. Please standby," it said in Daisuke's voice.
"Oh come on," she groaned as the alien began leaving with something.
"We can't let you leave without showing us a receipt," Kevin told the alien as he absorbed the stone floor and his right hand turned into a mace and he ran towards the alien while Gwen grabbed the object the alien was leaving with and Kevin hit the alien in the face and then the gut sending it flying into a wall.
"Who are you, what do you want?" Gwen asked but the alien blasted water from its hands at her and Kevin sending them flying into a pile of crates, the alien walked over to them and raised its arm up when Ben punched the alien sending it flying to the side and it rolled across the ground, Ben ran up to the alien which fired water at him sending Ben flying, the alien went to run off when Daisuke in her Cryonite form kicked it back.
"The Ultimatrix may be on the fritz, but I can still use this form," she said just as she turned back to normal and the Ultimatrix fire a yellow beam at the alien and scanned it.
"Unknown DNA sample acquired, scan complete," the Ultimatrix said.
"What did you do?" the alien asked her.
"So now you want to talk?" Daisuke asked before being enveloped in a flash of gold light and she turned into Chromastone, she then fired an ultraviolet beam at the alien sending it into a wall before it sent a large wave of water at Chromastone washing her into some power couplings and she was electrocuted and she collapsed allowing the alien to run off with the piece of equipment.
"Dai, are you alright?" Ben asked as Daisuke groaned and opened her eyes and she sat up.
"We got a big problem, the first few times that thing came in, it stole shielding, a control system, timing sequences," the general said.
"But this time?" Gwen asked him.
"This time he took the engine," the general answered.
"He stole a nuke?" Daisuke asked and the general nodded. A few minutes later Kevin and Gwen were searching for the nuclear bomb using the Rust Bucket's computers.
"Anything?" Ben asked.
"We found the bomb, it looks like its underwater," Kevin answered.
"I can get us there," Gwen said and soon the team were inside a ball of mana moving under the water until they saw a cave nearby and entered it and they soon resurfaced in a small pool of water they walked off to see the alien welding the nuclear bomb into a spaceship.
"Now I get it, he's doing the thing you're always doing Kevin," Daisuke said.
"Stealing?" Kevin asked as Daisuke walked over to the alien.
"He's just trying to fix his ship, am I right?" she asked the alien who stopped working and looked at her.
"You are correct, now leave me be, I want to go home and I am two minutes from launch," he said as a timer appeared beside him counting down from two minutes.
"If you launch your ship the explosion will destroy all of central Florida!" Gwen shouted.
"I'm not sure I see your point," the alien replied.
"Killing millions of people isn't cool," Kevin said.
"We're not letting you do it," Ben told him.
"Also there are some good theme parks here," Kevin said making everyone look at him.
"You would stand in my way?" the alien asked throwing the welder towards them but Daisuke jumped away while Gwen made a shield over her, Ben and Kevin.
"That cable's live, if I drop the shield it'll fry us," Gwen said as Daisuke was enveloped in a gold flash of light and she turned into Heatblast and she reached for the cable.
"Don't touch it," Kevin told her.
"Stop the calm guy, we'll think of something," Ben said.
"We will?" Kevin asked him as Heatblast threw a fireball at the alien who shot water snuffing the fireball out and he then shot more water at Heatblast and she jumped out of the way only to be hit by more water blasts from the alien and she rolled across the ground with her fire extinguished.
"You're a fool to use a Pyronite against me," the alien told her and Heatblast grinned and stood up.
"Yeah water does put out fire but Pyronites can only control fire and create it but when they evolve they can do so much more," she said.
"What do you mean?" the alien asked her.
"Here I'll show you, it's time to go ultimate," she said tapping the Ultimatrix symbol on her chest and four spikes appeared as her body began to change into a more human-shape; she now had two arms, legs which had no feet and her head became fireless. She had grown horns on both sides of her head and back, and she has also grown a tail covered in fire. "Ultimate Heatblast!" she roared and she smirked at the alien. "Now let's see you use your water to stop my magma," she said and the alien shot jets of water at her but the water evaporated once it hit her and she opened her mouth and spewed magma towards the alien who jumped to the side and Ultimate Heatblast hit him with her tail sending him crashing into the shield and the welder electrocuted him and he fell to the ground and the shield Gwen had fell as Ultimate Heatblast picked the alien up. "Give up," she told him.
"Why should I?" he asked about to shoot water from his hand but Ultimate Heatblast threw him into a wall and fired magma from her hand at the alien and it super cooled encasing him in rock.
"The bomb!" Gwen shouted as the countdown stopped with Kevin holding two cables.
"Got it, with ten seconds to spare," he said.
"You did that on purpose," Ultimate Heatblast said as she turned back into Daisuke whose eyes glowed red before she shook her head.
"You alright?" Ben asked her.
"Yeah, that was different," she said before turning towards the alien. "Start talking, what's your name?" Daisuke asked him.
"I am Bivalvan, I come from a small planet in what you would call the Andromeda galaxy," Bivalvan answered.
"Long way from home, what're you doing here?" Kevin asked.
"I was kidnapped along with four others by a monster by the name of Aggregor we managed to escape him but we crashed here on your planet," Bivalvan explained.
"Where are the others?" Gwen asked.
"I don't know," Bivalvan said.
"Four more aliens that aren't in the Ultimatrix?" Daisuke asked. "Cool, and don't worry about the others, we'll find them and get them back home," she told him.
"And what about me?" Bivalvan asked.
"Same deal, I'll call the Plumbers to come and get you, they'll get you home," Daisuke answered as she heard Kevin grunt and pull the nuclear bomb out of the ship. "And we'll take the bomb back to NASA," she told Bivalvan.
"Not that we don't trust you, but we don't," Kevin told him. The next day Daisuke stood outside the school as Ben walked up to her.
"You've got to go in sometime," he told her.
"I could drop out," Daisuke said.
"Last night, you were two feet from an atomic bomb. You can't be scared of your classmates," Ben told her.
"Everybody knows my secret, Ben. And if they've been watching the news, everybody hates me," Daisuke said as Ben kissed her on the cheek.
"Not everybody," he told her walking inside and Daisuke followed him and when she did everyone turned to look at her in silence and she gulped and walked towards her locker when Cash and J.T stood in front of her and J.T began to clap slowly before the others followed into applause shocking Daisuke.
"You've helped a lot of people in this school, you're alright Motomiya," J.T told her and she smiled. Meanwhile back in the cave Bivalvan heard someone approaching.
"Hello? Are you the Plumbers? Ben said you'd be here quickly but I didn't think- ," Bivalvan stopped as he saw the person was not a Plumber but a human who had small flesh-coloured horns on his head and red eyes with black marks around them, he had long black hair. He wore a brown knee-length, open tunic, baggy jeans, black calf-high boots and he had a spear in his hand "-Aggregor!" Bivalvan exclaimed.
"No one escapes me, Bivalvan," Aggregor said walking towards Bivalvan who began to scream.
