A/N: I don't own anything partly or completely related to Ben 10, but the OC and his aliens are original ideas.
Soooooo sorry it took so long to get this up; I kind of crashed for a bit.
Decisions
Ben, Gwen, and Grandpa Max are on the road again, and Ben is deep in thought about last night, Grandpa Max notices this, and decides to see what's wrong.
"Is something wrong sport?" Max asks.
"Na, just wondering why that Chad guy wouldn't want to come with us." Ben replies.
"Well, I'm sure that he had his reasons, so no use crying about it now, best to just keep going."
Ben lays back and puts he hands behind his head, trying to relax.
"I guess, besides, this means more spot light for me." Ben says with a menacing grin.
"You are such a self centered knot head." Gwen says.
"What?! Since when is fight crime and saving the day being self centered?"
"Saving the day, more like making it acquired."
"Big Head!"
"Dork!"
"Come on you two, it's bad luck to enter a new state in a bad mood." Max says, trying to stop the fight.
"Wha…We're finally out off Kansas?!" Gwen and Ben ask.
"Almost, take a look outside."
Sure enough there were cars in every lane, almost bumper to bumper, a toll both a little ways up, and a big sign on the other side that says, "Welcome to Missouri".
"About time we get out of the boredom hole." Ben says
"I actually agree with Ben on this one." Gwen replies.
Then, there's a loud rumbling sound coming from outside. When Ben and Gwen take a look, two punk bickers zoom past them. Then the bikers bash the coin catchers, and bash through the blocks. This of course, made Ben smirk.
"It's hero time." Ben says, as he slams the watch down, turning him into XLR8.
"Ben, please don't make a big scene." Grandpa Max asks XLR8.
"Oh pleasse, how do you think you're talking to?" XLR8 says, and then disappears in a flash.
Up in space, in Vilgax's ship, an alarm starts to sound, and Vilgax is sitting nicely in his chair, as a robot minion approaches.
"Lord Vilgax, the Omnitrix has just been activated." The minion says.
"Where is the boy now?" Vilgax asks.
"Well, he is at the boarder of two regions, should he attempt to retrieve the Omnitrix now?"
"No, every attempt we've tried when it was active and functional has been a failure, which direction is was he heading?"
"Due East sir."
"Then send Volcanis to the closet town to them from that direction, tell him to draw attention to himself, and when he finds the boy, grab him and take him here immediately."
"Yes my lord, as you command." With that, the minion leaves, and Vilgax sets back in his chair, with a little grin on his face.
"I have a good filling about today." He says to himself, chuckling a little.
Back on Earth, Ben and the rest are back on the road, and Ben hasn't changed back yet.
"That was almost too fast that time; I should taken my sweat time with those punks." XLR8 says to himself.
"Relax Ben, you did what I told you to do, and you got the job done, you should be glade." Grandpa Max says to him.
"We're just luck to have gotten through with lizard boy in the back here." Gwen puts in.
"Hey, I can't control how long I stay Hero, and so what if that toll both guy say…" Before XLR8 could finish the sentence, Volcanis' ship flew low over head, and straight for the town.
"Him again, he doesn't know when to quit." XLR8 says.
"You go on ahead Ben, we'll catch up." Max says.
"Got it." XLR8 says, as he hops out of the RV and zooms of to the town.
Back in Kansas, Chad is at the store looking for some food to eat, when the news comes on.
"This just in, at about 12:00 mid day at the state boarder toll both, a couple of bikers vandalized government property, they where apprehended, but no one knows "who" actual apprehended them." The news anchor walks towards the toll both guy.
"Sir, do you know who put the bikers in custody?" She asks the man.
"No I don't, one second they where on the other side, next the have bruises and are all tied up."
Chad almost has his mouth hung open in shock.
"Do you think it could be that Ben kid we meet?" Asks the voice in Chad's head.
"It could be, but why would it matter to us, I mean you?" Chad asks the voice quietly.
"I don't know, I just have a feeling about him, he might unlock something deep inside you."
"Oh shut up, I'm going." Chad says as he starts to walk out the door, when the news flashes on again.
"This is an urgent news bulletin! Just now, an Unidentified Flying Object has landed in a town in Missouri; it is believed to be the same one that landed in a small Kansas town a day ago. Hold on…I'm being told that we have life video footage of this event right now; let's see if we can bring it up."
The news anchor despairs, and footage of Volcanis throwing cars and stuff around comes on, then supposedly out of nowhere, XLR8 comes and kicks him in the head, then the camera goes blurry. Now Chad defiantly had his mouth wide open, and dropped a few of his things on the floor.
"It looks like he's having fun; can we join in on the fun?" The voice asks.
"No, he can handle himself, he doesn't need you, and neither do I." Chad says under his breath.
"I don't know, we should be changing back pretty soon."
"How do you figure that?"
"Well, if it's was 12:00 when he changed, and it's almost 1:00, he should run out of juice soon."
Chad looked of to the side, thought about what the voice just said
"Even if that's true, you could never fly there in time, you're actually a slow flyer." Chad says to the voice.
"Who says you have to use that chrome brain to get there?" A different, more feminine voice says.
"What, who's that?" Chad asks.
"Don't worry; just turn the side of the Omnitrix one to the right." The feminine voice says.
Chad hesitated, but he did what the voice said to do, and sure enough, a different picture came on the watch.
"What is this?" Chad asks the voice.
"It's something that well get you to that boy in time."
Chad wasn't to sure on this, he didn't even know there was another form in the watch, but he had no choice. He walked into an ally, raised his hand and slammed the watch down.
Back in Missouri, XLR8 was still fighting Volcanis, who was pretty worn out by now.
"All right, I just need to hit him a few more timesss and…" Just then, his beeper starts to go off.
"Ahhh man, I hate that sssound."
There's a flash of green, and Ben is standing there, right in front of Volcanis. Volcanis grins, and starts to walk towards Ben, Ben tries like a mad man to get the Omnitrix to work, but it's out of energy. Then Ben remembers something, this is just like the dream he had in Kansas. Ben covers his head as Volcanis reaches to grab him, but before he could reach him, a blur comes out of nowhere and kicks him of balance. When Volcanis looks to be down for the count, Ben gets up, and looks around for the thing that took Volcanis down. Then a big Fox like thing that was on it's hind legs, that has brown and white fur, and gold glowing bans like Upgrades bans all over it's body.
"Hey Ben, you loss control yet?" The Fox thing asks.
Ben looks shocked at the fox thing.
"Chad, is that you?"
Next Time: I know I said I wouldn't do this, but now I well.
Ben and Chad finish the battle with Volcanis, and more secrets are unlocked from the new Omnitrix.
