Vilgax has put day in and day out trying to remove the Omnitrix prototype from Ben. Yet, he descides to make a new tactic, one less exhausting. He catches Ben temporarily and clones the outer workings of the watch. Then he stays silent, working on inner machinery. Eventually, he figures the best way to make it work, while also finishing off the young boy. Will it work? Will Vilgax finally get what he's always wanted, the most advanced alien technology, banded to his hand and his nemisis gone for good? Bx? Gx? More to this story than meets the eye.
"Alright, I think there is a Flurition in here somewhere." Muttered Phil, the
old plummer. He slipped the Null Void projector from his bulgy pocket slowly. "Let's
have a look-see." He aimed it a few feet from him and pressed the trigger with ease.
The temporary portal sprang to life, swirling fabulous colors of green and void. Suddenly,
a large figure flew through it, almost as if it had been thrown.
"Hello again." Vilgax said, slim dripping from every word.
"VVVilgax?!" Phil studdered, fear overcoming him quickly.
"Yes." With that simple answer, Phil was thrown head first into the fast closing
portal, leaving the small projector falling to the wooden floor, making a metalic clank
with every bounce.
"Young Tennison. You have foiled my schemes for the last time. While in the deathly void, I have figured a new way to bring my revenge. And finally, get my Omnitrix." He grabbed the small projector from the floor, absent minded from a small fault that had occured. The small pistol like projector had been switched. On the underside of the right barrel, there was a small switch, changing the next portal display to the 'earth world' not the void one.
"Grandpa please!!!" Ben pleaded to his grandfather. "I promise, I''ll only
go in, buy the new sumo slammers game and come right back! PROMISE"
"I don't know... well, I guess. Only if you take Gwen with you"
"Awe, don't drag me into this." Gwen whinned from the back cot. She then slumped
out of her cot and shuffled to the inside front of the RV.
"No buts Gwen, you know how button crazy Ben can get with that watch." Grandpa
retorted.
"I guess someone responsible, with more than one brain cell, should look after the
monkey"
"Hey! Grandpa, why?" Ben whinned as he slumped down into the passangers seat
defeated.
"It's that or no whatsoever, your choice. I'm gonna go check out the book store, see
you back at 1:15, got it"
"Alright." both kids moaned.
Ben leaped frantically from the RV, dashing across four lanes of traffic to the Video store. "Ben! Wiat for...me." Gwen shouted, now totally out of earshot from her cousin. "Lucky the dummy didn't get himself killed."
"Haha! Whoa! Look at all the cool games!" Ben said as his eyes went wide. He
looked around for awhile, finally letting his stumbling feet lead him to the counter.
"What can I do for you kid?" the registerman called.
"New Summo Slammers Volume 8!" Ben shouted as fast as he could.
"Sorry kid, fresh out. Ever since the factory explosion"
"The factory explosion?!" Gwen heaved as she leaned on the counter, still
exhausted from trying to carefully cross the traffic.
"Yeah, some weird creature, huge! He was like ginormus with some... squidlike head.
It was weird man. Totally wierd, he stole the video program and left"
"Sounds like Vilgax." Ben muttered to himself.
"Any reason why?" Gwen asked, investigating now.
"We think it's because the newest version had a new hardware. The capabilities were
huge, yet the designers only used it to speed up the player's CPU"
"Hmm." both kids mused, still trying to foil Vilgax's plot.
Gwen grabbed Ben and pulled him off to the side, "I thought Vilgax was in the Null
Void"
"So did I. He musta gotten out somehow..." Ben thought eagerly. He needed to try
and figure this out fast, or he'd be t-
SMASH!
A large mechanical machine bust threw the store wall, knocking it to bits. All the people
screamed as the invention shot lazers to the walls. Ben was running to go hero when it
grabbed him suddenly, almost like he had been left in slow motion, while the machine was
still in regular time. Then, they both dissapeared.
"BEN?!" Gwen screamed, who knows what was going on.
Gwen went running towards the bookstore, quickly calling to grandpa. She pulled him close
and stammered out, "Bbben... thhey ttoook Ben!"
Both Gwen and Grandpa went out to the RV. The store was in ruins... but other than that... the whole place was quiet. It was like nothing had happened. Both family members searched frantically... no Ben.
Ben simply remembers being in the store one second, then, in a space ship.
"Beam up in .7 seconds." called a machine from the far right. He was deep in the
bowels of a spaceship alright, Vilgax's ship. He reached desperately for the Omnitrix, yet
the machine held it high above his head. Ben struggled still, trying to reach it.
"Come on"
"Tennison. We meet again." Vilgax talked slim while Ben stared daggers.
"Gonna kill me again?" Ben retorted. Vilgax made a move with his arm, signaling
the robot holding him to tie him to a long metalic table.
"Not quite. I've given up trying to remove the hardware, speaking of such, meet my
hardware." He pointed up to a tall gun like struckture, hanging... looming over Ben's
left arm. Ben struggles with all his might, yet he was strapped in, doomed to the
duration.
"If you're not killing me, what are you upto?" Ben asked quizitively.
"Replication. Simply, copying the device and attaching it to myself"
"How? You didn't make it"
"Quite right. Yet, I can clone it, and then simply download all the DNA into the new
Omnitrix, enhanced. See, I can unveil my plot, for the antidote to awake you, removes any
alien encounters from your memory, rather special"
"Quite." Ben said dejected.
With that, Vilgax pressed a button from his control pannel, lowering the device onto Ben.
He breathed heavily, fear gripping his heart. then, with a flick of the wrist, Vilgax
switched a switch. Ben screamed, every inch of his body in pain... electricity jolted
through his bones... He felt like his whole body, innerworkings and all were being toarn
appart, duplicated. He felt his bones shake and his body took odd posses, cramping and
uncramping every muscle. He felt the watch shortcircuting, he had to hold on. Had to...
Burning sensation filled his body, tears streamed down his face. It;s the most powerful
thing in the universe, HANG ON! He kept saying to himself, over and over.
then it stopped. Ben heaved for air, trying to stay awake. He looked over to the capsule
to his right, seeing a duplicate Omnitrix floating in it.
"Goodnight boy." Vilgax then reached for a phial. He added a tip and plunged it
into Ben's arm, the liquid in the shot wiping his memory from the last several minutes.
Vilgax began laughing manically, "The liquid doubles as also a transfer fluid.
Slowing down and wearing the Omnitrix's battery with every download... pitty
though"
He then turned to the hard glass capsule. He pulled out the Omnitrix and began tinkering
with it...after all, he said he'd enhance it. It'd be better than the original prototype,
and it'd be all his.
"Go over what happened again, Gwen." Grandpa said again, rubbing his temples
slowly.
"Ben rushed out of the RV, we went into the Video Shop, we talked to the clerk, he
said that there were no more games because"
"Because"
"it... had been attacked, by an alien... Ben thought... it was Vilgax"
Grandpa looked down to the pedals... stuned and scared.
"Then... then a robot appeared, grabbed Ben...and-" a long silence followed.
"And"
"they dissapeared." Another long silence.
"If Vilgax sucessfully removes the Omnitrix, who knows what will happen to Ben."
Grandpa started.
"Or the rest of the world." Gwen added slowly.
