AN: Hello everyone, Lyoko Barbossa here!
I've received a peculiar review on my Benwolf Oneshot from someone named saiyanking90, and I personally found it quite intriguing to say the least.
"no not the end you have a world of potetcal with this fic the way it'swritten, finally someone made ben into the half wolf i've been waiting forthis and your not going to end it there, i'd be more than happy to help it youneed any"
As a result, we've been talking to each other and I decided to continue this one shot in another fanfic which I believe maybe just as enjoyable as it's predecessor.
Ben: Oh I hope so; I really enjoyed the end part where you had -
Lyoko: Whoawhoawhoa, slow down there, Ben. Don't wanna spoil it just yet.
Now, as I was saying, he's even offered to let me use his OC, Drago, for this fic.
Drago: Like I had much of a choice…
SK90: You're gonna be in this fanfic and you're gonna LIKE it. *shoots Drago a death glare*
Drago: *flinches slightly* T'ch, fine… Whatever…
Lyoko: Now, before we continue on, I must warn you guys that Ben will no longer be using the Omnitrix in this fanfic.
Ben: WHAT!
Lyoko: That's right, because you won't be needing it anymore. Instead, you'll be getting even better powers; powers that come from the combination of your Loboan DNA and your human DNA.
Ben: Sweet!
Um… But what about Gwen?
Lyoko: Oh don't worry, I'm upping her powers to rival yours.
SK90: Alright, now can we start this thing off already?
Lyoko: Oh right! Neither me nor SK90 own Ben 10 or Power Rangers: SPD. But SK90 owns Drago and I own Vexents, both of which probably won't appear in this immediate chapter... Tee hee…
Chapter 1: Birth of the TRUE Underdog
The Navajo desert, home to a variety of desert dwelling fauna and flora. At first glance, one might miss the majestic beauty of this land, especially the nearby village, or the serene tranquility from a nearby oasis, or the huge crater with a slowly melting crystal in it -
Wait? Huge crater? Melting crystal?
Oh crap, they're at it again…
STRIKE SHADOW CLAW!
CRYSTAL BARRAGE!
Six months…
Six months since the twin cousins had learned of Ben's Loboan heritage.
Six months since they agreed to train under Ben's biological mother, Yenalda.
Six months since they discovered their true loves.
Both Ben and Gwen had been practicing all kinds of crazy moves and techniques under Yenalda's guidance. Gwen had learned within the second day of their training session that Loboans had magic users that they called mages and druids instead of witches and warlocks. Yenalda was one such mage herself, specializing in the utilization of frost techniques.
Ben had no such luck in trying to perform any of the spells she knew, so Yenalda had taught him some of the basic shadow attacks that any young Loboan pup would know, only his were different… To be more precise, they were at least a dozen times more powerful than what they should be.
The most basic of all Loboan shadow attacks, the Strike Shadow Claw, was only supposed enable a Loboan's claw to glow slightly, enabling them to rip through even the metal that human's call 'iron'.
Ben, however, was making this attack become a full blown ranged attack. A shockwave equivalent to the arc he swung his claw to forms from his claw and heads towards his target, increasing in length the further it got.
Gwen had learned a slightly more advanced ability, the Crystal Barrage spell. She had mastered it in a matter of hours. The spell enables her to form fist sized ice shards that she can shoot as if they were bullets coming from a machine gun. This spell has devastating power behind it, but it could backfire if any of her shards hit something other than the ground and the intended target for you see, the shards, like bullets, have the ability to ricochet when they hit something.
*Play Official510's Metroid Fusion Serris Battle (Remix)
After their attacks had collided with each other, an explosion occurred, apparently mostly due to the Strike Shadow Claw attack.
Both Ben and Gwen stared at each other for barely even a minute before the both charged at each other, Ben on all fours running like an actual wolf and Gwen levitating a couple of inches off the ground.
Ben had started collecting Shadow Energy into his right claw until it became engulfed in it. Shadow Energy is an internal energy source that Loboans use for most of their attacks such as Ben's Strike Shadow Claw. Some of the normal Loboan attacks, however, do not require Shadow Energy to use such as Ben's Howling Blast.
Gwen saw this and concentrated her magical energy towards her right arm, forming something akin to Diamondhead's sword-like arms. This is a spell known as Chrysalis Formatus, a spell that concentrates the caster's magical energy towards their arm(s) and creating a blade made out of either Frost, Fire, or Arcane elements depending on which tree the caster specializes in. In this case, Gwen seems to have a Frost affinity, hence her ability to master most of her spells nearly instantly.
How do I know all this?
Because me and my partner-in-crime were given the direct orders to watch over the two incase any alien attack were to commence on them, but let's be honest, the way those two are fighting, I doubt even VILGAX would be able to even scratch them.
The speed they employ their attacks with.
The grace of each dodge they perform.
The power of their wills.
I gotta say, these two were MADE for fighting.
With the required Shadow Energy he needed, Ben leapt into the air about a good five, maybe six, feet off the ground and dive-bombed at Gwen.
Gwen had anticipated this and also jumped into the air, dashing towards her cousin.
"SHADOW LAZER CLAW!"
"Eat THIS!"
Both cousins slashed at each other with their attacks, colliding within two seconds of their battle yells, and began their descent towards the ground. Just as they land, the two opponents jumped away from each other to gain more ground. They each landed about 4 yards from each other, but the distance didn't last long as Ben began dashing towards his cousin again, this time gathering a whole mess of Shadow Energy around his entire body, engulfing him as he spun around like a corkscrew and yelled out, "SHADOW SCREW!"
…
Okay, didn't know that was the actual name of the attack, I always called it the Shadow Drill.
The Shadow Screw attack is a slightly more advanced Loboan shadow attack. It enables the user to encase themselves in Shadow Energy in the form of a drill. The only downside to normal Loboans is the fact that once the attack starts, they can't change directions.
But then again, Ben's not a normal Loboan…
He's only HALF Loboan.
The gap had nearly closed in an instant before Gwen jumped a good four or five feet into the air, performing a front flip as she reached peak height. Though Ben was spinning like mad, he could hear that she had jumped over him and twisted his body enough to turn the attack around, attempting to strike her in her blind spot, but this was avoided as she performed a back flip over Ben, once again avoiding his attack.
After this, Ben reverted back to normal and landed on all fours, his left foot and claw in front of his face, his right claw under it's respective shoulder, and his right leg stretched out behind him; his tail wagging all the while.
Gwen had landed gracefully in a crouching position similar to most gymnasts on this planet.
They both stared at each other once again for a minute or so before they both began to gather their respective energies.
Gwen began to emit a sky blue colored aura around her petite frame. Her eyes changed to pure neon blue as they glowed. Finally, a crater had formed right under her. From where I'm at, it looks to be about 1.45 foot in diameter.
"Aw crap…" my normally emo partner complained.
"She's entered Hyper Mode again…"
"Well what did you expect, Drago? A slap on the wrist? This is a Training Spar; she's gotta go all out." I rebutted.
"That doesn't mean she's gotta go that far, damn idiot's gonna kill her cousin if not herself."
"She's still trying to get her body used to it. After all, she did learn it just three days ago."
Yes, we were arguing about Gwen and her Hyper Mode again.
Hmm?
You don't know what Hyper Mode is?
Oh wait yeah, that's right, you're just now reading this fanfic. Allow me to fill in the gaps for ya.
Hyper Mode is a Loboan mage's strongest ability and normally a trump card for last resort situations.
It increases their speed and the power of their spells by about 15 fold, making them extremely tough cookies to crumble.
There is a catch to this power, however. Should they completely exhaust the energy that Hyper Mode grants, they'll be left completely exhausted and immobile for about 20 seconds, more than enough time for an enemy to kill them.
"You're also forgetting about Ben's Shadow Form. It rivals that of Gwen's Hyper Mode."
Speaking of which, Ben began to gather huge amounts of Shadow Energy into his body and building it up.
The result?
His canines became slightly larger, his face became longer, his claws became bigger, and the hair on his head grew to about mid-back and began to stick up in the air in spikes. His eyes had acquired a more feral look than they were before. Just like Gwen, Ben had made a crater below him, but his was about four feet in diameter.
Shadow Form enables a Loboan to increase their strength, speed, power, and agility for the duration of the form, which varies from Loboan to Loboan.
Currently, Ben's able to hold his Shadow Form for about twenty-four seconds, a second shorter than what Gwen can hold her Hyper Mode for.
In a flash, they had both disappeared from sight.
"Oh you have got to be kidding me… C'mon, Vexents, we've gotta - huh?"
Teeheehee, Drago turned to look at me, but I left long ago.
"Momma f!ing Mia!"
He had vanished from his previous spot just as Ben and Gwen collided with each other in that exact spot. A shockwave erupted from their impact, causing the boulders we were hiding behind to turn into dust.
"Good lord, Drag-Queen," I said as he pops up beside me with a face that promised certain doom. Hehe, he REALLY hates it when I say that, and speak of the devil his IMMA-RAPE-YOU-TIL-YOU-COUGH-UP-YOUR-OWN-NUTS face appeared. "Another second and you'd have ended up like that guy." I joked, pointing to the now ex-boulder.
"Damn you and your speed, you little roadrunner!" he complained… again…
I hate it when he calls me a roadrunner. I mean do I have feathers? Do my legs look like chicken legs?
…
On second thought, don't answer that second one… They're skinny enough to be confused for chicken legs…
The cousins suddenly disappeared again, and in their place were two streaks of light; one sky blue, one blackish-purple.
Each time the streaks collided with each other, a shockwave similar to the one from their first collision formed.
They were going at it hard this time, it looked more like something from an anime or something… They were all "BLAM BLAM BLAMBLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAMBLAMBLAM…"
Um…
I'm not acting very professional, am I?
Heehee…
I tend to do that…
Anyway, the fight was so fast that Drago could barely keep up with his human form. It was like one second they were in one place, and the next, they're a mile and a half away, and the second after that they were five miles, then the second after THAT, they were back to three feet…
"Good lord… And they're so young, too."
"T'ch, you sound like an old geezer, Vex," my partner retorted, "How old are you?"
"How old do I LOOK?" I asked back in a cocky tone.
"… On second thought, I don't wanna know…"
"Yeah, that's more like it."
"You're annoying as hell, you know that, right, roadrunner?"
"How many times do I have to say 'My name is NOT roadrunner?" I asked with a bit of a smirk.
"Five, maybe six times a day." Drag-queen answered with a smirk of his own.
God I hate it when he does that.
"Then you know my answer already, Drag-queen."
At this, he growls at me and rebukes, "If it weren't for the fact that these are Max's grandkids, I'd have never accepted this mission."
"Who said it was a mission?"
"Max, of course."
"Then it isn't a mission. He's not even MY superior officer. This is charity work, ya nimrod…"
He growled at me again, but kept his mouth shut. He always does this when I'm right. I smirk at him and look back to the fight.
We continued to watch the lightshow that was being put on for us before Drago asked a peculiar question I'd never think he'd ask.
"Do you think they're ready? To take on such a burden?"
…
What the f…
What kind of question is that for an emo like Drago to ask?
"Dude, I swear, if they last even one minute against us, they'll be overqualified for the job, but we still need to scope them out before we do anything." I half-joked, then placed a serious expression on my face.
"And if they aren't ready, they'll just continue to rot away in this dump."
Oh god that sounded more cruel than I intended…
Man, I'm as bad as Drag-queen when I'm serious…
Note to self: Never get serious.
"That's kind of harsh… Even for me."
"Then that means we need to make sure they're ready."
We looked back to the fight, since we heard an explosion.
Ben had been using his Shadow Lazer Claws and Strike Shadow Claws all over the place, and for Gwen it was one Crystal Barrage after another.
Ben had landed on the ground and started to inhale so deeply that his abdomen seemed to cave in and his chest swelled to the size of a birthday balloon. "Howling…"
Gwen had landed a good mile away from Ben and started condensing her magical energy into her hands as she rolled them around like she was rubbing a crystal ball. "Draconic…"
"Oh crap…" I said.
Drago knew what I meant and immediately yelled, "HIT THE DECK!"
We both kissed dirt faster than anyone could drop a hot potato. And that's when the true destruction began…
"BLAAAAASST!"
"EMBROSIA!"
The Howling Blast is ANY Loboan's most powerful, natural ability. Some could use it to either knock an opponent out if they were weak enough, or rip an entire Galvanic Warship apart if they were strong enough.
Ben just HAD to wind up in the latter department…
Gwen's Draconic Embrosia is an extremely powerful spell that can decimate ANYTHING in it's path, so long as it is not as powerful as the blast itself.
Both attacks have one major drawback…
The kick that's behind those things, whew…
After launching their attacks, both Ben and Gwen flew back about 20 feet each and crashed on their backs…
HARD.
*End Song*
The greenish Howling Blast and the violet Draconic Embrosia were quickly nearing each other until they collided with a bang that shook the earth we stood, or in me and drago's case, laid, and the flash from said collision reached about five miles in diameter…
"DAMN, THOSE KIDS CAN FIGHT!"
When the flash wore off, there was a crater approximately seven miles in diameter and depth was left. I quickly jumped up to a standing position to try to find the two cousins, and spotted them.
Ben was laying on his back, reverting back to his previous state. Only a few scratches were evident on him as far as I could see…
Gwen was in the same conundrum. She, two, was on her back, reverting back to her previous state.
Ben got up and walked over to where Gwen was, being careful to go around the crater that they just made. After a good 20 seconds, just as I had mentioned when I told you about her Hyper Mode, Gwen finally got up and walked to where Ben was, also going around the crater.
After about three minutes of walking, the finally met.
They both looked hard at each other, panting very heavily, for about half a minute before they started laughing.
They're LAUGHING?
They just made a great concave pimple into the Earth and they're LAUGHING?
That's considered vandalism…
Ben flung his left arm over Gwen's shoulders as she snaked her right arm around his waist.
They finally stopped laughing and started talking. Ben was the first to speak.
"Hehe… How was that?"
"Oh my god, that was so much fun." Gwen answered.
"Hey, did you count how long you were in Hyper Mode?"
"Yup, lasted 27 seconds. You?"
"28 in Shadow Form. I guess we're both improving, huh?"
"Yeah."
At this, they both gave a light chuckle.
Their faces leaned in…
And I couldn't help but get one hell of a nosebleed and a huge ass blush because those two were KISSING each other…
On the MOUTH!
Drago simply chuckled and said, "Max was right… You really ARE a pervert." in a matter-of-fact tone.
But I had to correct him.
"I am NOT a pervert." I said in anger and embarrassment.
"I am a SUPER PERVERT! MUWA HA HA HA HA!" I yelled out with pride and slam med a fist into my chest to prove it.
At this, he promptly face-faulted.
"That is NOT something to be proud of, road runner…"
"Oi, at least I'm not a closet perv, unlike YOU! You can't even SPEAK to a girl that's mildly CUTE and when a smoking hot babe walks by you and says 'Hi' you go launching off to outer space with a nosebleed."
Oh my god I have NEVER seen him so red like that before in my life.
I'm not sure if it was out of anger or embarrassment….
Ben and Gwen had released their kiss, breathing mildly heavy, before Ben suggested they go back to their cave.
And that's what they did.
When they were out of sight, I signaled Drago that the coast was clear.
We then jumped to the side of the crater they made and looked at it.
I whistle in impressiveness as I surveyed the area.
"Man, those kids pack a wallop, don't they?" I asked Drago.
"Hmph, I hate to say it, but they sure have colored ME impressed."
At that, I took out my Plumber's badge and pressed the center of the insignia. After that, a few different holograms appeared, one in particular that I was looking for was down at the bottom of the group.
I moved all of the others away and pressed the hologram that looked like a dog and waited for someone to answer.
Didn't take long for the top dog, literally, Doggy Kruger himself, to answer.
He was a strong Loboan that had started the Plumber's SPD branch.
Gah, wait… I forgot, you're still new to this…
My bad…
SPD is an acronym for a very special breed of Plumbers called the Rangers. Basically, SPD is this:
SPACE
PATROL
DELTA
They are the baddest of the bad within the Plumber ranks. Most of those in the SPD branch are what are known as Rangers.
Rangers are the ultimate fighters that have all kinds awesome abilities, gadgets, and vehicles called Zords.
Man, and to think I almost made the cut.
Well… I WAS offered a job there, but they seemed a little too high-strung for me.
Take Drag-queen for example:
He's a member of SPD, and the Red Ranger of his squad to boot.
Rangers are color coded to signify their rank in the system, along with a matching number to boot.
Red is Leader: 1.
Blue is Second in Command: 2.
Green is Tactician: 3.
Yellow is Combat Specialist: 4.
Pink is Medical Specialist: 5.
This, however, doesn't apply to Commander Doggy Kruger, though.
His rank is 100 and his Ranger Uniform was made specifically to his recommendations.
He's the reason behind SPD's dog themed insignia.
When his hologram showed up, it only showed his face from the neck up, and I could tell he seemed antsy about something.
"Well? How'd my nephew and niece do?"
"See for yourself, Commander."
I turned the badge so that his face would be able to see the crater.
Though I couldn't see it, I could tell he was as impressed as Drago.
"Well, Commander… What do you think? Think they're ready?"
He closed his eyes and lowered his head in thought.
Not a good sign…
He stayed like that for awhile, approximately twenty-five minutes, before he opened his eyes and looked up at me.
That's when he gave his reply.
"I believe that they are finally ready, but do not confront them."
"Why not, sir?"
He gave a soft smile and said in his friendliest voice, "Because I want to be the one to give them this opportunity… personally."
At this, I gave a small smile of my own and replied, "Affirmative, sir. Complying."
"Thank you, Vexents."
AN: Well, it's done. I'm honestly happy with this and I hope you guys are too.
Until next time!
Ja ne!
