Dimension 13, Kaiden Rotner the tenth runs through the trees in the woods. The soon to be eighteen year old boy had a pair of glasses, a black shirt with a green alien head with giant black eyes, a pair of jeans, and a black trench coat, he had shaggy brown hair with a green dyed bangs. Behind him were a pair of tattooed thugs, one with a head shaved bald and a scraggly beard and his partner had gelled spiky hair, a piercing in his nose and a bull tattoo on his shoulder.
"Get back here punk!" The bald thug shouted as he threw a rock at Kaiden hitting him in the head and knocking his glasses off. Kaiden stumbles down on the ground, some blood trickling from the side of his head. He rolled to get back to his feet and cursed under his breath before running again looking around. Kaiden noticed some smoke, either someone was in danger and they needed help, or a camper had made a fire either way Kaiden felt he would be able to et away from his pursuers.
"Hello!?" Kaiden shouted as he picked up speed, he may not be strong but thankfully he was much faster than the thugs. As leaves crunched under his feet he just thought of how his day became that. He and his senior class had agreed to have a party in the woods and watch a meteor shower, why was he being chased? Because his 'friend' Ash told him to make jokes that Jack and Daniel would love his type of awkward humor. Except Kaiden had made a joke about them with a tone that sounded very serious. Didn't help that when he got scared he started mumbling every thought that came to his mind, many sounding rude and insulting.
Kaiden stopped thinking when he heard the soft crackling flames, but the smoke was thick, smell of burning grass, leaves, and metal?. Kaiden got a look of the source of the flames, a small crater had formed. Was it a meteor? No the meteor shower wasn't supposed to start for some time. The impact likely would've been heard. Must have landed at least an hour ago when no one was around. Kaiden moved to the edge of the crater where to his amazement he saw a silver pod, with a small grey frog like alien, he had large eyes and next to him was some kind of gauntlet, Kaiden jaw dropped, he couldn't believe it. An alien, Kaiden slid into the crater getting a closer look. He pauses for a moment to factor the danger but he notices the alien's clothing was burned, he had what looked like bruising. Kaiden reached down and picked up the alien gingerly with one hand and with his right hand gripped the gauntlet like device that was nearly the same size as the alien. As his pale hand reaches for the gauntlet it seems to start moving in a more organic manner, leaping onto him and clasping onto his arm. Kaiden's eyes grew wide as he felt several sharp pains as something seemed to dig into his arm. Kaiden bit his lip as he fell down feeling the thing digging into his bone he tried to scream from the pain but it was silent before Kaiden mustered up a soft scream.
With the scream the small alien's eyes pop open showing the green eyes and rectangular pupils. The alien gasped and gripped Kaiden's hand seeing that the gauntlet had fused to the human.
"Curses, do you know what you have done you fool!" the alien shouts and Kaiden looks wide eyed, teary eyed from the painful fusion.
"What?"
"You just bonded with my Ultimatrix! You have any idea how hard it will be to stop my pursuers without it?"
"Pursuers? Are you being hunted?"
"Yes, my...rival...is jealous of my masterpiece that is the Ultimatrix, so I fled to finish it and I was going to bond with it when I landed here, but I was attacked and crashed here."
"Wait you were going to bond with this thing? It's nearly your size?" Kaiden said looking at the gauntlet on his arm.
"Yes that 'thing' is the Ultimatrix."
"So why is it so important? How would you even put it on?"
"It is able to turn the wearer into alien life forms, and even go to their ultimate form; and I was to wear it when I had time to fix the auto-sizing feature."
"Wait...so with this I can become an alien?" Kaiden says as he starts fiddling with the device on his arm with fascination until a dial popped up showing silhouettes of various aliens as he fidgeted with it. The alien scowls and grabs his hand as Kaiden points at one that shared a silhouette much like the alien on him. "Hey this looks like you, can I become whatever you are?"
"What? Galvan DNA shouldn't have...no of course. Since you are not a Galvan the Ultimatrix must've replaced one of the set with the Galvan to match for what your primitive species would've been." the alien scowled.
"Galvan? I'm guessing that's your race."
"Yes the Galvans are the most intelligent race in this galaxy and likely any other. You are fortunate to even be able to speak with me. Now let me take it from you." the galvan said leaping towards a button but Kaiden quickly moved his arm as the Galvan accidentally presses the dial down.
Kaiden feels a spike of energy, his blood felt chilling, his eyes becoming compound, pale blue and white wings come from his back, antenna popping out of the top of his head, and a chilling breath from his mouth. The Galvan standing in one of the three fingered hands as Kaidan had turned into a pale necrofriggian, his wings wrapping around him as a cloak giving him his phantom look.
"Frostwing…" Kaiden says in his new form.
"What? That's not your name!"
"It...felt..right…" Frostwing said looking at the Galvan with his breast visible.
"Well then...I guess since you are transformed into a necrofriggian we can discuss a deal." the Galvan says as Frostwing looks at him with a curious expression.
"What...deal…"
"I do hope you get used to that speech pattern if we do this...but I need a guard, and someone to care for me while I am stuck on this planet. While you need someone to tend to the Ultimatrix, teach you of the aliens, and remove it when you wish for it to be gone."
"Sounds...good...I am Kaiden Rotner the tenth." Frostwing says holding his other hand near the Galvan.
"Hmm, I assume that is your human name. You may call me Albedo, though you may call me master if you desire." The Galvan says with a smirk grabbing Frostwing's free hand and shake it.
"Where'd that brat go!" the bald thug yelled coming around and stopping as he saw Frostwing and Albedo. A terrified expression appears. "Monster!"
"What are you talking about Dan, what monster?" The bull tattooed thug said coming up as his bald friend runs past him. Frostwing and Albedo smile and wave awkwardly as he fainted.
"That's bad…" Frostwing says looking at him looking at the unconscious young man. "Jack you okay?"
"He most likely fainted, I need to further study your race but from what little I can observe I would guess that it was too much stimuli for him seeing not one but two aliens. Can be overwhelming the first time for anyone especially for a primitive lifeform like yours." Albedo says as the two notice several streaking lights in the sky. "Oh no…"
"The meteor shower has started!" Frostwing says with excitement looking, at them as Albedo scowls knowing the truth.
"Uh...remember when I said I needed a guard, Frostwing?"
"You need protection from a meteor shower?"
"That's not a meteor shower, that's actually the ones attacking me." Albedo said pointing at how one of the lights is purple and making a sharp turn.
"Is that another alien?"
"Possible, I am actually not sure what is attacking me. Most likely some form of a bounty hunter or an assassin, maybe some robots." Albedo stated as the purple meteor crashes into the woods. Frostwing looks in the direction and opens his cloak revealing his ultimatrix icon on his chest as he takes flight.
"I will investigate. You stay safe." he said before flying towards the location.
"Wait Frostwing!" Albedo shouts as his new guard flew off. Albedo grumbles feeling he should go with him or at least inform him of the Ultimatrix's timer function still exists. Frostwing flew over to where the ship landed. It was spherical with several thrusters out of it, the thrusters had aimed towards the ground which was burnt from the landing. Frostwing landed nearby trying his hardest to not geek out over the alien craft. The back seemed to open up, red light from inside shines out, Frostwing raises a hand over his eyes as a humanoid figure starts to step out. The figure wore a black skin suit with green detailing, a symbol on its chest resembling that of the Ultimatrix's dial. The alien looks towards Frostwing and speaks with a stuffy nasaly voice.
"What's a Necrofriggian doing here? Did Azmuth get you to help as well?" the alien said as he stepped down the ramp, a foul odor seems to come from the alien, the smell of methane. The alien crosses his arms eyeing up Frostwing and staring at the Ultimatrix icon on the chest. "Hmm...what is your name?"
"I'm Frostwing, who are you?"
"Hmm...strange name...I am Vulgaz." The alien said as his helmet retreated down exposing a red and yellow petal like head on a vine like cluster neck, the smell of methane grew stronger forcing Frostwing to cover his mouth and nose gagging lightly. The strong jawed alien grinned with a stuff chuckle. "My you are a sensitive bug aren't yeah, so tell me how old are ya."
"I'm seventeen...why?" Frostwing says as Vulgaz scowls.
"You'd just be an infant...so you must be using the Ultimatrix!" Vulgaz yelled as he held up a hand with a pillar of flames erupting from it. Frostwing instinctively raises his hands to defend himself going intangible. The flames go through his body and blasts a tree. The tree starts to burn, Frostwing looks over in surprise.
"I can become intangible?" Frostwing says as he flies towards Vulgaz who rolls away. Frostwing watches as a layer of ice formed on the ship. Vulgaz scowls and throws fire balls at Frostwing. Frostwing swerves around and lets out a large breath freezing a large area and entrapping Vulgaz in ice. Frostwing landed at the frozen Vulgaz, tilting his head and tapping the ice to see if it was solid. He then shrugged and released a large frost breath freezing the ship so deep in ice you wouldn't see it.
"Well not the best result, but at least this will keep him busy for some time." Frostwing said flying back to Albedo, and noticing that Albedo had surprisingly using some vines and roots tied up a few trees and put some xs in the trunks carved with a sharp rock he held in his small hand. He gave a confident smirk and waved at Frostwing.
"Do me a favor and blast the markings until I say so." Albedo says as Frostwing looked at him confused at first, but he saw in Albedo's eyes that he was confident in the plan. Hoping it will mean he can use the Ultimatrix more Frostwing does as he says freezing the markings and looking at his small friend.
"So...why did you want that?"
"Because my simple friend, your pathetic mind cannot fathom the exact details, but I have set it up so that these trees are in the perfect position so when I do this…" Albedo said tossing a rock at one of the frozen trunk closest to him. He hit it and at first nothing seemed to happen, a crack then formed wrapping around the frozen trunk as the tree started to come down. The vines and roots Albedo used to tie up the others strained and while several snapped it seemed to cause some to snap like violent whips smacking the other frozen trunks, in no time like dominos the trees fell landing over the crater Albedo crashed, filling it with dirt, leaves, sticks, and covering with the trees. "Now it is hidden until we can return to dispose of it properly."
"Whoa...your amazing Albedo." Frostwing said as the Ultimatrix started to beep and flash red.
"Yes I am oftly brilliant aren't I, wait...what's that beeping?" Albedo said pausing as a red flash of light went off, he turned with a horrified expression seeing Kaiden looking at his hands curiously and the Ultimatrix with a red light on the dial. "NO! THAT WAS FIXED! I MADE SURE TO IMPROVE THAT DETAIL!"
"Is something wrong? Oh man...did I break it?" Kaiden said with a worried expression pointing at the Ultimatrix.
"No...as much as I wished I could blame it on your inferior brains, this was as much as it pains me to say it. My fault." Albedo said before looking like he is about to be sick. "I guess I was farther away from completing it then I thought…"
"Well...if you could do that with the trees in the what...ten minutes? I was gone I am sure you could fix this Ultimatrix."
"You're a very kind being aren't you…" Albedo said looking down feeling as if he was just embarrassed in front of the entire planet.
"Well...you said you were the smartest thing in the galaxy didn't you?" Albedo looked at the human as he said that, did he mishear him when he said his race the Galvans were the smartest, or did he misspoke and say HE was, aware of his ego that was a possibility but while he thought it Albedo wouldn't say it now.
"Yes...I am…" Albedo said getting up. "Care to take me somewhere I can work?"
"Sure...but I'm afraid that I can't provide you the tools your used too."
"That's….fine…." The Galvan sighed, he wanted to insult his human companion more, but Kaiden was being so nice and it was ALBEDO's failure that was preventing his new guard from being better. He hopped onto Kaiden's shoulder and grumbled softly pouting.
"Look at the bright side Albedo, with me testing it for you, you can observe and perfect it without risking yourself." Kaiden said walking through the woods past the unconscious man that was chasing him earlier.
"Aren't you worried that you will be hurt?" Albedo said looking in shock at Kaiden.
"Well a little bit, but I always wanted to work with aliens. Hell I came out here because I was kind of hoping the meteors where an alien coming...and…" Kaiden looks at Albedo smiling. "Now I got the best thing that could ever happen, an alien device that can turn me into aliens, and the coolest alien ever."
"You're...too kind…" Albedo said looking down, he had never gotten such praise from anyone other than his parents and himself. The two left the woods and got a car driving back down to the Rotner residence.
Vulgaz stood still in the frozen ice, the ice started to drip and crack as it erupted exposing Vulgaz with a scowl. He looked at his ship trapped in the glacier. He yelled firing two streams of flames, but while he was making progress the ice was much stronger than what he was trapped in. He kicked the rock hard ice and grabbed his foot in pain, he pulled the hour glass symbol from his suit and pressed a button on the side.
"This is Magister Vulgaz, I am on the Sol system planet Earth. I was tailing a criminal known as Albedo with a stolen device; the Ultimatrix. Someone seemed to be able to use it and attacked me. I am transmitting my coordinates, please send back-up my ship is in no condition for travel."
