Hey-ho, everyone. Samurai Pikachu here. So in this story, I'm mostly going to try to follow the original Ben 10. However, there will be a few changes here and there. Mostly is Lincoln's Omnitrix will have a few changes because I wanted to use aliens that I felt represent his sisters better. And with that said, let's begin and have some fun. And I hope you enjoy it. All sources belong to the original owners and I own nothing. And now, let's begin.
CHAPTER ONE: AND THEN THERE WERE 21
Location, Royal Oaks Michigan
Time: 10:30
Chaos was nothing new to the Loud household, as such is bound to happen when ten girls and one boy live under the roof. For this night, however, things seemed to go relatively calmly. With the announcement of a meteor shower and their parents turning in early, all the siblings decided that it would be nice to stay up late and watch the shooting stars at the local summit.
"Well, I've got to admit," said Lincoln, the only boy, "this is going to be one heck of an experience."
He looked back at his other siblings as they were spreading out blankets, talking, and laughing.
"Hey," Lola screamed at her twin Lana, "don't put my custom silk sheets on that mud puddle."
"Oh come on" the ball cap wearing twin responded with a grin. "Guys, guys, settle down. It's starting" Luan joked.
True to her words, the first few of the falling stars were coming down. All the girls and one boy immediately sat down on the spread out blankets and watched the meteor shower come down.
"So why are the stars falling? Did they not have proper foundation or something" asked Leni.
"Actually," Lisa, the youngest but smartest began, "this isn't shooting stars but meteors. The difference…" Lisa went on about meteors and what they were, but no one seemed to care. Lincoln especially didn't care. No fighting, no issues, no accusations. For now. It was just an ordinary night with no issues. Something he always was accepting of.
Oh how soon that would change.
High Above Earth
While the meteor shower was a spectacle to observe to the inhabitants of Earth, if they knew what was going on way above it, they would be probably more than a little worried.
For way above the planet, two spaceships were flying. One was blue and streamlined. The other was orange and grey, much larger, and raining lasers on the smaller ship.
Inside the orange and grey ship, the crew consisted of robots of different sizes and shapes. One of them made his way on the bridge to what looked like a giant throne.
"Master Vilgax. We have the ship in reach." The person who the robot was talking to turned around, revealing a twenty-foot tall muscular creature with green skin, red eyes, and a beard of tentacles like a squid. "Good. And the cargo?"
"Almost in our grasps."
"Excellent. Fire all weapons and bring it down."
"As you wish," the drone said with a bow. A barrage of lasers soon rained down on the blue ship, nearly destroying it. As it struggled on, a small hatch popped open, dropping a strange object to the planet below.
"Sir, they've ejected the omnitrix! We are in range to intercept!"
Vilgax grinned. This was too easy for him. All he had to do was activate the tractor beams and the galaxy would be his to….
*KA-BOOM*
A violent lurch overtook the ship, sending the passengers tumbling around. "What happened?!" Vilgax bellowed as the enemy ship charged up a giant laser cannon.
"Sir. The ship's steering and shields are disabled! We can't move!"
As soon as that was said, a blast of energy was fired, tearing through the ship.
"Wow" Lincoln said, completely overtaken by the meteors. To him, it was just as amazing as fireworks. Maybe even better because they didn't scare Lilly or Leni. The last of them began to fall.
"Alright," said Lori, "meteor shower is over. Time to head back."
A few groans of disappointment came through as the siblings stood up and headed to the car.
"Wow, summer's off to a great start!" exclaimed Lynn. "Three whole months with no school" Luna said.
"Summer is to sunny for me," Lucy said in her typical monotone voice, "but maybe we'll get lucky with finding ghosts."
As they were about to get on the van, however, something caught Leni's eye. "Hey," the ditzy blonde shouted, "another falling star!"
The other siblings turned around. True to her words, a new meteor was falling through the atmosphere. "Good eye" Lincoln said. "I get dibs on the wish!" Leni said as she closed her eyes.
All the siblings complained at that. All except three. Lincoln, who was two busy admiring it, Lily, who was playing with Luan's ponytail, and Lisa, who noticed something off about the meteor.
"Um, siblings, I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the meteor's trajectory path seems to be ascew."
All her siblings stared at her, not understanding a word the child prodigy said.
Lisa sighed. "Heading for us" she said.
Sure enough, the comet changed directions and fell towards the family. The siblings screamed and ran for the van. Except for Lincoln, who slipped and fell. He looked up and saw the meteor coming down like a hammer. Lincoln closed his eyes and prayed. "I promise not to fight with my sisters again, I promise to never lie, and I promise to give Lana her mattress back, just let me live!"
BOOM!
Lincoln was mercifully not crushed like an insect as the meteor landed a few feet behind him. He turned around and saw the impact site. The sisters ran to their brother to see if he was still alive.
"Dude, are you ok?"
"Did you see your life flash before your eyes?"
"I'm sorry Lincoln. I wished for a closer look at the meteor."
As Lincoln got up, he saw the meteor wasn't a meteor at all. It was a strange silvery object. "Woah" Lincoln said looking at it.
Sudden, the earth around the boy's feet crumbled, causing Lincoln to slide down and hit the object headfirst. A hatch opened, revealing something in it.
As he raised his head in pain, he saw the object to be a watch of some sort. The watch was grey with a green hourglass symbol on the center of a face plate.
"A watch?" Lincoln asked.
"Lincoln! Bring it up carefully. This could be an important scientific discovery" Lisa shouted.
Lincoln shrugged and reached out to get it. Before he could even touch it though, it leapt up and clamped itself on the boy's wrist, scaring the bajeebas out of him. "GAAHH!" He shouted as he tried to shake it off.
His sisters came down in an attempt to calm him down. "Dude, relax," Luna said, "it's just a watch. We'll help you get it off."
She then grabbed it and tugged to no effect. The other siblings joined to no avail. This continued for fifteen minutes until Lana went to the van to get a toolbox. "Ok Lincoln," the capped sister said, "let's see if a few hammers and screwdrivers can get this intergalactic timepiece off!"
BZZZ-ZZZZT!
Lana stopped and looked at the buzz saw she was using. All the teeth were ground flat. She tossed it over her shoulder where it landed in a pile of other broken tools. "Yeah, it's not coming off."
Lincoln groaned and looked at the watch. Their wasn't even a scratch on the holoscreen.
"So now what" Lincoln asked, placing a hand on it.
"It is now stuck to you for the rest of your life, until you die, and maybe after that" Lucy said in her monotone voice. All her siblings stared at her in horror at that one.
"What?" she asked.
Suddenly, a strange beep came from the watch. Lincoln looked down. In the center of the holoscreen, a picture appeared. Lincoln stared at it in amazement. The figure was humanoid in shape, yet didn't look like a human.
"Hey!" Leni shouted as she came closer to the watch. She wanted a better look, but accidentally slammed on the screen with her palm, causing a green flash of light to emit and envelope her brother.
Lincoln stared down at what was happening to himself in the light. His skin was cracking and turned darker, like charcoal. Yellow lines were crawling through the cracks. On his chest was the watch's symbol. When the light passed, Lincoln wasn't himself any more. Instead of a short boy with white hair and an orange shirt, he was now a seven foot tall humanoid made of fire and rocks. His feet now had two toes and his face was a rocky mask.
Lincoln took it well all things considered.
"GAHH! I'M ON FIRE!" he shouted, his voice now raspy and rough.
The other sisters started to panic. Lana grabbed a bucket of mud and threw it at her blazing brother in hopes of dousing the flames. All it did was cause Lincoln to howl in pain as he ran around like a chicken with its head chopped off.
Then, Lincoln stopped. "Wait," he said, calmer but now confused, "I'm on fire, but I don't feel it."
His sisters stopped at that. Lisa pulled off a small bit of rock from Lincoln's side. "Ow" he said. Lisa then dropped the bit into a test tube and applied some kind of liquid to it. "Intreasting," she said "your body now appearsto be made mostly of sulfur and carbon. You're now a walking furnace."
Lincoln looked down at his hands. A thought came to his mind. "He Lynn. Can you throw something in the air? I want to see if I can do something." Lynn grabbed a rock and tossed it in the air. "Go long!" she shouted. Pulling his arm back, Lincoln tossed a fireball forwards, blowing the stone to pieces.
"Woah" he said. Lana threw a pine cone next. Lincoln blew it up with another fireball. Soon, almost all the siblings were throwing things just to see their brother blow them up with ball after ball of fire. "Now that's what I call a hot shot" Luan said and got a face full of dirt thrown at her as a result. "Uh, guys," Lori said, "I hate to be The bearer of bad news, but we still have a problem."
"What's that?" Leni asked.
"Lincoln is literally now a fire monster! How are we going to explain this to mom and dad!"
Everyone stopped at that. Lincoln looked down at himself. She's right, he thought, how am I going to tell them? How am I going to live? Will I have to eat charcoal from now on? How am I going to read comic books without burning them to a crisp or even go into a room without it burning to the…
*Beep-beep-beep-beeeep*
A red flash then enveloped the blazing boy. "Lincoln," Lynn said when the light faded, "you're back to normal!" Lincoln looked down. She was right! He was the normal white haired kid he always was.
"There's your answer" Leni said. Lincoln looked at the watch. It now had a large exclamation point. After that, it showed the pictures of the aliens again. He shuffled through the odd life forms presented. "Looks like there's ten options" he said.
Not to much of his surprise, none of his other siblings were paying attention to what he said. They were arguing about weather or not they should tell their parents about this, if Lincoln should keep it, something about the possibility of cutting the arm that had the watch off (Lisa's idea,) etc. Lincoln just looked down at his watch. This is amazing, he thought, with this, I could be a real hero. I could make things better for real! I could save lives! I could...I could...I could turn into another form to get their attention.
Shuffling through the watch, Lincoln Loud wondered what he should become next.
Back on Vilgax's ship, the squid like alien wasn't in the best of moods. He was stuck in a healing tank with half his body torn off. He also lost the item he was looking for to the planet beneath him.
Soon, one of his drones came before him. "Lord Vilgax," it spoke, "the ship's damage is to great. We can't make repairs without cutting your life support. We have to heal you first. We're sorry."
"I see" Vilgax rasped. While he sounded calm, his eyes were boiling with rage. The drone noticed this and decided to bring some good news. "However, we have located the omnitrix. It is on Earth, and has been activated. We can receive it now."
Vilgax's rage died a little bit at that. "Good. Send the recall drones. I don't care if we have to destroy the entire planet and every insignificant creature on it to get it!"
"As you wish."
The robot then pressed a button, releasing a pod down to the planet.
"But mom and dad can help!"
"Are you crazy? Could you imagine what they'll do?"
"They'll probably ship him to Area 51 or something!"
"I could give him a new arm. All I need is some lizard genes, stem cells, and his DNA."
"GUUUUUYYYYSSS!"
The sisters stopped bickering and turned to Lincoln, who turned into a new alien. This one strongly resembled a werewolf with grey fur and a black mane. He also wore an orange suit and had a grey tail. The watch was now located on a collar around his neck.
Lucy looked at that with interest. "Woah," she said monotonously, "that form is so awesome, I can almost not contain my excitement."
Leni walked up to Lincoln and began to rub his stomach. "Uhh, Leni?" Lincoln asked. "I wanted to see if your foot would shake if I rubbed your tummy" she replied. Lincoln stared with pupil-less green eyes at that. He then got to the business of why he transformed. "Ok," he said, "I know this is an odd situation for all of us, but I think for now, we should keep this a secret from our parents."
The others nodded at that. The all felt like the last thing they needed was their parents learning that their only son could now turn into aliens. "So what are you going to do?" asked Lola. Lincoln put a clawed hand to his chin and thought. "Well, I've been thinking. Maybe I could use this to be, well, a hero."
Lincoln's sisters went quiet at that comment. Then they started to laugh. Lincoln frowned at that. "Thanks for the confidence booster guys" he said sarcastically.
"Come on Lincoln," Lori said, "you? A hero? You're barely twelve years old. You clogged the toilet with a Princess Pony book. You once thought you were a bird person. And let's not forget about the time you literally ruined the family picnic!"
"Hey," Lincoln said defensively, "I really did see Bigfoot there! The park rangers just scared him away before you could see him!"
Lori rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Look Lincoln. Maybe it might be for the best if you don't try to be a...HOT BISCUITS, LOOK OUT!"
Lincoln quickly turned, just to get hit by some kind of metal arm. As he regained his bearings, he saw what hit him.
Hovering above him was seven circular robots with several claws. They all set their sights on the boy and shot lasers at him, forcing him to drop on all fours and dodge with surprising speed. With a fierce howl, he lept onto a robot and began to tear it apart with his claws. He then leapt off the robot and slashed the second one to ribbons before cutting the third in half and then lacerating the forth.
In a matter of seconds, the five robots had been reduced to one. The lone robot fired lasers at the werewolf-like alien in desperation. That's when Lincoln did the unthinkable.
Opening his mouth, his mouth split into four separate parts as a loud burst of sound rang out in the form of a powerful roar. The robot blew up after three seconds of contact with the scream.
Closing his mouth, Lincoln looked around. His siblings were safe, but looking very stunned at what happened.
"That. Was. AWESOME!" Luna shouted in awe. "You tore those guys to shreds faster than a sold out concert."
Lincoln smiled at that. He couldn't believe he just did that. "Not bad huh?" He said with a wolf-ish (no pun intended) smile. Luna gave him a friendly punch in the arm. "I take back the laughing. You did awesome, Blitzwolfer." Lincoln looked confused at what his rocker sister said. "Blitzwolfer?" he asked. "We can't call you Lincoln while you're an alien. Plus, I think Blitzwolfer sounds good."
"OOH! In that case, let's call the fire guy 'Heatblast,'" Leni chimed, "because he like totes blasts heat."
Lincoln thought about the names. He kind of liked the sound of them. A beeping sound came out as Blitzwolfer turned back into Lincoln. All the siblings except Lori came to congratulate their brother in what he did. After a few minutes, Lori managed to round up her siblings and get them in the van. Lincoln stared at his new watch before noticing that Lisa was carrying a part of one of the destroyed robots. "Uhh Lisa?" he asked the bispecled sister.
"Research" she answered deadpan. She then looked at the watch on his arm. "Do you still want it? I can cut off your arm and replace it."
Lincoln smiled uneasily. "Thanks, but I'm good" he said. Lisa shrugged and sat down.
The ride back was quiet. After the night, everyone was just to tired to start a conversation. It also didn't help that Lori was so distracted by her own thoughts that she ended up missing a turn and was forced to pull over and get directions at a parks department. While the 17 year old did have a good relationship with her only brother, she couldn't help but feel troubled. She wondered if the watch would be more trouble then it was worth.
Maybe I should tell mom and dad, she thought, Lincoln's just a kid.
"Uh, Lori," said Leni, "you missed the turn again."
Lori was snapped back into reality at that. "Oh for the love of…" she hissed as she spun the van in reverse. She finally got the right turn and was finally on the highway. Something was off though. None of the other vehicles were moving. Soon, a group of people were running and screaming in the streets.
Lori started to get uneasy. She turned to where her brother was sleeping and tried to reach him when a loud, booming sound shook the earth, jolting everyone awake.
"GYAAH!" Lincoln said. The other siblings woke shouting similar noises. The sound and shaking got closer. Lana looked out the window to see what was happening.
"Guys? You might want to see this" she said fearfully. All of them got out to see what she was talking about.
Marching through the street was a giant robot with four legs, red eyes, and two giant hands with cannons in the palms. It was trampling and shooting at any civilians it came across with no remorse.
"Another one of those things!?" screamed Luna as the metal titan stomped over. It then pointed its hand at the van the Loud family were in and fired. Lori closed her eyes and braced for devastation as she heard Lily cry.
It never came.
As Lori opened her eyes, she saw the shot was intercepted by a new source. This one was a seven foot alien that appeared to be made out of pale green crystals. He was wearing an orange and blue bodysuit and had four long crystals growing out of his back.
"Lincoln?" Lori said as she snapped back to reality.
"Get the others to safety. I'll handle this" Lincoln replied, his voice sounding gruffer now. Not ones to argue (on this situation at least) his siblings scrambled out as he turned and picked up an abandoned car and threw it at the robot as if it were a javelin. The car smashed into the robot, causing it to turn to the diamond alien.
Lincoln then charged at it, just to have a semi thrown at him, crushing him underneath. Shaping one of his hands into a blade, Lincoln cut his way through the metal and climbed out of the wreckage.
"Cool" he said at the bladed hand.
He then pointed both of his hands at the mech and began to fire diamonds out of them like bullets from a machine gun. Despite them embedding in the metal hide, the did nothing to slow down the mechanical menace as it began to throw cars and shoot lasers at him. One such blast sent him flying into the air and got him grabbed as a result.
Lincoln struggled as the robot brought him to one of his huge red eyes to examine him. "Sorry," he said as he cut off the fingers and fell back to earth, "not on the first date."
He then turned to no one in particular and said "did I really just say that?"
The robot then fired a giant laser at Lincoln, but this time he was ready. Summoning crystal bolts in his feet to anchor him to the ground, he held out his hands and began to reflect the beam back. "What goes around comes around!"
The beam cut the robot in half, where the pieces fell to the ground and exploded.
Lincoln blew on his hands. The next thing he heard was the people and siblings that he saved cheering. "Alright," said Lola, "way to go L..….you dimond-headed alien!"
"No problem, small human" Lincoln responded. He then ran to a forested area of the highway and to make sure to lose anyone, raised a wall of crystals. After a few minutes, Lincoln changed back to normal and met up with his sisters.
"Dimondhead? That was the name you chose?" he asked Lola teasingly. The pageant girl blushed. "I panicked, ok" she said defensively. The rest laughed as they piled into Vanzilla. Lincoln was about to come in, when he was stopped by Lori.
"Lincoln" she said.
"Yes Lori?"
Lori smiled. "I think you' make a great hero."
Lincoln smiled back as he got in the van. He was excited. This could very well be the best summer he ever had.
"All drones were destroyed. The mission was a failure."
These were the last words said by the drone before being blown up by his master.
Vilgax was beyond angry now. He was immobile, nearly fatally injured, and failed at all stages of the plan.
"You there," he barked at another droid, "make sure all the drones work until I'm back to full health! Understand?"
The drones nodded.
Vilgax then focused his gaze on Earth. Enjoy your victory, omnitrix welder, he thought, for it will be your last.
Elsewhere
A cell phone rang, waking a sleeping individual. "For the love of," the person groaned as she answered the phone, "it's one in the morning."
Answering the call, the person was about to give a caller a piece of their mind when the caller spoke first.
"Hello," it said, is this Agent Rho?"
Uhh...yes," the caller said worriedly, "why?"
"Well, for starters, it is a huge honor to talk to you. I've just started working here, and I've heard so much about you. Very happy to be talking to you."
"That's nice. Now why are you calling me?"
Huh? Oh yeah! That! Secondly is old squid-face is back."
The caller nearly dropped their phone in horror. "Vilgax? Here?!"
"Yep, and from what we could gather, boy is he angry. Now, I know that you're technically retired, but you also know him better than anyone else here, so if you're interested, we'd be more than happy to have you back. Have a nice night."
The caller hung up as the person collapsed on their bed. I moved here to avoid this. To start a family. Now what? The poor soul thought.
Hoo-wheee, that was an ending. And now the questions come out. Will Lincoln be able to control his aliens? Can he keep his identity a secret? Who was the person receiving the call? All these questions and more will be answered soon. Also, besides Vilgax, the only villains who come from Ben 10 are Hex, Charmcaster, Kevin, the monster aliens, and a certain chronosapien.
Have fuuuuun!
