Okay, time to make a more original episode after the last couple were from the original show. This time we'll have one that's a little different; basically the rest of the cast has to save Ben from a problem instead of him having to save the day. Don't worry, it won't be one of those 'Ben is being an idiot again' story. I do not own it, so please enjoy!
Sick Day
(Khyber's Ship. March 11th, 09:34)
Khyber frowns as his ship was currently in camouflage mode as Orianus, now wearing a high tech armor suit himself, was listening to a make shift radio of sorts as he says, "Okay...Psychobos got us this link to their badges...we'll know when that Tennyson brat gets the right alien we need."
"Hmm...we do not have to wait...Psychobos has a plan. Hopefully it gets his attention." Khyber said, smirking slightly as he says, "A good hunter knows when to use the correct bait..." He chuckled as he turned on a TV screen to show what he was talking about, showing what looked like a large orb flying down before growing out two arms and a pair of legs, getting a small dome head.
"And now...to get some attention." said the voice inside, which was distorted as it slammed down it's foot, shaking the ground to get attention.
(meanwhile...at Mr. Smoothies. 9:39)
Ben was sipping from a smoothie as he looked at Kevin, asking, "So, your car almost fixed?"
"Yeah. Spring Break is almost done, so Gwen is gonna be back for classes. Lets hope nothing happens to set me back even more..." Kevin said as he walked with Ben to the table where Rook, Gwen, Julie and Ester were sitting as they waited. Rook and Ester were currently wearing their ID masks, as Julie was petting a sleeping Ship.
"About time you guys got here." Ester said as she took a red cup, which she took a sip of as she sighed a bit, "ah, that helps me warm up..."
"What is IN that?" Gwen asked ,sipping from a kiwi and chocolate smoothie while Rook took a savory-based drink again, as Ester sipped again to get a good idea.
"Hmm...I believe it's jalapeno, cayenne, ginger, lemon..." Ester said, as Kevin stared at her with shock as he looked at his smoothie and opened the lid to make sure he didn't end up getting a weird flavor too as Gwen blinked.
"...Why do I feel bad for the people that work here...?" Julie muttered as Ben shrugs, having a fruit cocktail flavored drink as the ground shook as the heroes looked up, Ester and Rook taking of their ID masks as they got ready to see the...skyscraper sized robot glaring down at them.
"...Ah crud..." Kevin said, not liking the looks of this as the robot glared down at them, it's eyes narrowing darkly as Ben got his Omnitrix out.
"I need to get that thing out of the city..." Ben said as he slammed down on the Omnitrix, his body glowing as it began to increase in size. He was now a red and white, skyscraper-sized humanoid with a large fin-like horn coming out of his head, sharp fins on his shoulders and elbows and spikes on his waist, and a faint 'arrow' on his abdomen. He also had what looked like cosmic-empowered metallic armor covering his body and having two toed feet and four eyes; two on the normal of his skull and two like small antennas on his lower half of his head. He stretched out as he says, "WAY BIG!" He said, his voice booming and powerful.
"...well, looks like we can just watch the fireworks." said Kevin, shrugging at this as Rook and Ester looked confused at that.
"What do you mean?" asked Rook as Julie shrugs, smirking bit as Way Big walked over, glaring ahead.
"Ben isn't messing around; He's going for the biggest gun he has; Way Big. He's definitely his second strongest alien right now, especially since he apparently got Alien X to work." Kevin said, as Gwen nods in agreement.
"Yeah. I kinda doubt the giant robot can last long." Gwen said as Way Big walked over to the robot, standing a good foot over him, crossing his arms.
"...Oh dear. I may have miscalculated his height..." The robot said as Way Big grabbed it by the head and glares at him. Unaware of something floating by him and into his armor, making the spot gain some sort of dark red markings like scars as it faintly shined.
"Ya know, I REALLY do not like giant robots in my hometown. So whoever sent you...Vilgax, Aggregor if he's back, or some wannabe conqueror, I just got this message if they're listening; LEAVE EARTH ALONE." Way Big warned the robot, grabbing it by the head and tossing it into the air as he glared ahead and powered up a beam from his crossed arms, putting one arm in between the other in a sort of plus-like shape before firing a blast filled with blue and dark violet star-like energy, sending the robot flying into the sky and likely into space.
Reporters arrived as Harangue was in a helicopter, saying to a camera, "This is Will Harangue, here at the sight of Ben Tennyson once again endangering the lives of good natured folks here in Bellwood USA, having blasted something into the atmosphere."
"Uh..yeah. The giant robot that I likely sent all the way to Jupiter by now." Way Big said, looking at the helicopter flatly as he felt something off, rubbing his head, the red lining on his arm spreading slightly up his arm and towards his neck.
"Well, Ben 10...tell us; what did that Robot want and who built it? Do you know who?" Harangue asked, as Way Big scowled as he was about to say something, but suddenly groaned a bit. "What? Can't talk today, or are you hiding something?"
"N-No, it's not that...just feel...kinda weird..." Way Big said, holding his body up with near-by building, being careful not to crush it as he grabbed his head with his other hand...noticing the marks on his palm. "What the...?"
Will noticed this and tells his Cameraman, "Zoom in on his hand, now." The Cameraman did so, as he looks slightly disturbed. "Tennyson, What in the world is that?"
"I...I don't...don't...kn...ooooh..." He suddenly started to get lightheaded as he says, "I don't...feel so good...urr..." He then suddenly got to one knee, his body pressing against he building.
The others noticed this and drove over in Rook's truck, as Julie and Ship ran up, shocked as she says, "Ben, what's wrong?" Way Big groaned a bit as he looked at them, his eyes fluttering a bit as his vision started to get fuzzy...before he suddenly fainted, crashing down with a puff of smoke, the lines covering the white of his body.
"BEN!" The four screamed at once as they ran over to the giant, the Omnitrix insignia glowing a strange red color.
"Everyone, this is Will Harangue saying...Ben 10 is down!" Will said, looking at this with some surprise but had a hidden grin on his face. "The Menace has been defeated by some sort of disease."
Gwen, glaring at the helicopter, suddenly turned into her Magus form with just a whisper as Rook got his badge out. "Magister Tennyson! This is Rook Blonco, we have a Code 19! I repeat, Code 19! Ben has suddenly fallen ill! We need access to one of the Plumber intergalactic Bases, now!"
"Understood. Show Gwen the coordinates. She can teleport you guys there." Max said, his tone serious as Rook showed her the numbers as she nods. She concentrates and moves her hands outward, making a large pink tornado of mana around them disappears from sight with Way Big in tow. Many civilians looked at where the giant hero fell, looking concerned or shocked at what had happened.
(Later...)
(Plumber Moon Base. 12:34)
A beam of light filled the base as Sandra and Carl arrived, running through the hall to where Max was, as Carl looked at him with concern. "Dad, is Ben okay?" Carl asked, as Max put a hand on his youngest child's shoulder.
"Carl, calm down...Ben is getting treated now. Come on." Max said, leading them ahead as they went into a large room where many of Ben's friends were waiting and some family was there already. Gwen was looking downward with a older young man with short red hair hugging her, wearing a blue jacket and a pair of jeans next to an older woman with short red hair and a bespectacled man with brown hair with graying sides. These three were Ken, Natalie and Frank Tennyson, the family of the eldest of Max's children.
"It will be okay, Julie..." Mrs. Yamamoto reassured a worried Julie, giving her daughter a hug as her father was petting a worried Ship, who was curled up on his lap as he gave the two a sympathetic look, showing that while he was harsh, he understood what they were going through. Next to them a shaggy haired blonde young man wearing glasses and a padded vest over a yellow shirt and a pair of jean shorts and work boots, looking down at this time with concern.
Manny stood by a wall, growling as he says, "Dang it...whats going on down there...?" He asked, as Helen stopped him as she saw some unfamiliar faces arriving, at least to her as four people arrived, getting Lucy's attention as well as she ran over.
"Camille, Joel! Mr and Mrs. Tennyson, hey." said Lucy, hugging a red haired woman wearing a dark blue t-shirt and a pair of jeans as the two morphed into similar humanoid aliens, giving each other smiles as a black haired young man with a short ponytail walked up to Max and clapped hi shoulder.
"Hey Uncle Max...sorry to hear about Ben..." He said, as Max nods as he gave his brother a handshake, the man looking like a slightly older but tad more muscular Max with a short mustache and a black cowboy-styled hat and a older woman with gray-streaked black hair.
"Hey Gordon, Betty Jean. How's your part of the Plumbers since coming back on?" asked Max, as Gordon shrugs at this time.
"We have been better...though I wouldn't mind knowing why my grand-nephew is sick..." said Gordon, walking over to the window next to a young man with slicked back hair and an older man with a golf shirt and shorts. He saw him and gave a nod, "Donovan."
"Gord." Said the older of the two as his grandson, wearing a black t-shirt with a logo that looked like the Omnitrix hourglass with stylized '10', likely the promoter for Ben, frowned at this. He then saw a woman wearing a floral dress next to Sandra, as she gave them a concerned look as Gordon nods to her as well before looking outside.
"So, what is going on down there?" He asked, looking at the scene before him as Sandra and Carl walked up, looking shocked at what they saw; various aliens and human doctors, all Plumbers or allies, working on Way Big who was attached to a re-breather-like device
Driba, one of the people up top, looked at them and says, "I can patch us through to the new doctor that arrived...with the Highbreed Supreme!?" He asked in shock as Gwen and Kevin look in shock as they saw the teleportation take place as three beings similar to Adolherd arrived, but very different; one was much taller with a bulkier build and wearing some sort of stylized royal garb made out of a bio-organic fabric and a dark green arm but a white and black body with red eyes. Next to him was a leaner one with a green body and large mass of dark purple tentacles, with dark brown eyes. THE final arrival was a lean and older-looking Highbreed with dark blue cloak-like attire, nine amethyst colored eyes and clawed hands.
Adolherd, seeing the larger Highbreed, suddenly bowed. "Hail to the Highbreed Supreme Reinrassic the Third, the seventh son of the Highbreed house of Derallah-" before he could finish, a green hand touched his shoulder.
"Young Brother, there is no need to be so formal...a friend to the Highbreed is in danger. We need to help him first." He said as he looked at the leaner one. "High Overseer Psonos, these are the ones that helped save our kind and my brother's comrades."
"Charmed." said the lean humanoid with a small bow. "I am Psonos, the high Overseer of the Highbreed. The religious head of our people's grand views on the universe and the all seeing eye of my kind. I am also the adviser of the Highbreed Supreme."
The last of the Highbreed arriving looked over as he says, "I shall be with the patient..." as Kevin stared in shock.
"...Whoa, that DNA fix may have been a little too rough on that guy..." Kevin said as the doctor Highbreed looked at him with a slightly confused look.
"I've always looked like this. I'm a Bionetic, the medical class of Highbreed. My name is Bortaric." He said, giving a small bow as Sandra walked over.
"You're going to help my son?" She asked as Bortaric looked at her with sympathetic eyes, nodding as he reached into his shell and picked out a small device and showed an image; of him with a more feminine-looking blue and gray Highbreed both holding a small creature with dark blue skin but none of the organic armor the older Highbreed has.
"If not for him, I would not have my daughter. I owe him that much." He said, putting the device away before going down the elevator and joining the doctors below and began to wrap around his arm, creating a sort of liquid that began to heal his arm, the cracks in it starting to heal a bit but glow red.
Down there, a woman with dark pink skin and violet energy for hair was using magic to heal near his head, as she put a hand near his chin. "Don't worry, Ben...Grandma is here..." She said, her voice slightly distorted with the energy she was flowing out.
"...Heh...Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go..." said Way Big, his tone showing that he was out of it as the Highbreed stared at this, as did the other alien doctors who looked at Verdona with confusion.
"...Earth nursery rhyme." She reassured as Verdona looked over Ben, as her hair went onto his forehead. "Better let him rest-" She suddenly went wide eyed as she read what was forming in his mind as she yelled out, grabbing her head as she groaned a bit. "Oh dear..."
Upstairs, Rook frowned as he asks, "What kind of virus is this?" Suddenly the door opened as the group all turned to see a surprisingly serious Blukic and Driba walk in, the stalker o the two holding a laptop-like device as the two jumped up.
"It's not a virus, it's the Novan Blight." said Blukic, showing a holographic image of something. "We analyzed the Omnitrix when he arrived and it seems that the cosmic energy making Way Big has been disturbed, which only fits the Novan Blight's hunting style."
"You see, it creates this disease to lower a To'kustar's defenses, making it much more vulnerable to get their cosmic energy absorbed into their bodies for nutrients. Novan Blights eat plasma found in stars and space dust, and To'kustars are filled with it." Driba explained further, as he walked up at this. "So we need to get inside of him and extract it."
"Wait...you want to go INSIDE of Ben?" asked Sandra in shock as Blukic showed another image; this one of a strange looking device.
"We made a shrink ray to get a device like a submarine to shrink the two of us and a team to hunt it down." said Blukic as the blonde young man walked up, confused.
"Where the heck are you going to get a submarine? I don't think there are any that good for this." said the young man as Driba nods.
"We know, Clyde. But we need to find SOMETHING like that..." said Blukic, as Julie wen wide eyed in realization as she stood up.
"Ship can help with that. Before he got kidnapped by the Forever Knights way back, he showed me he could turn into a submarine." said Julie, as Kevin did a double take at that.
"So that's what happened to the fence..." Mr. Yamamoto muttered, thinking that over, as Ship looked up at this.
"Since Ship only listens to you or Ben, you're in." said Driba as she nods, as Driba looked around. "Anyone else? We'll need a pilot for the submarine itself."
"I'll do it. Grandpa has taught me a lot about how submarines work and I helped Ben with those crazy aliens back in the Bermuda Triangle. Besides, it beats pushing pencils." said Eddie, walking up next to Julie, as Rook did the same with a nod.
"We're in." Manny said as he, Cooper and Helen walked up as Alan stayed behind, not wanting to cause any trouble.
"As much as I'd like to help, I do NOT want to know what Ben looks like on the inside." Kevin said as Blukic shrugs as he went over to the window and got into a microphone.
"Hello. This is Blukic, one of the Galvan scientists for the Earth sector of the Plumbers. We need at least one of you to come with us on the inside of Way Big to remove the Novan Blight from his system. The rest of you are here to make sure the disease doesn't get any faster. So, who volunteers?" Bortaric looked at the others and nods as he raised his tentacles.
"I shall help remove this virus from him." said the Highbreed, as Blukic only had a flat stare at that.
"It's not a virus." Blukic said flatly, somewhat annoyed by that. He looked up as he looks at the group as Joel walked up, patting Lucy's shoulder as he walked over.
"I won't mind helping. You guys need at least one experienced Plumber in these kind of missions." Joel said as Driba nods in agreement as he motions them along as they went into the lab there as Driba jumped up and powered up the device.
"We left it here so that we could test it giant moon rocks." Blukic explained as Julie nods, putting ship on the front o the device and nods.
"Okay Ship, Submarine!" Julie said as Ship glowed a bit, his body turning into a military-grade Submarine as it gave an alarm sound that sounded like 'Ship!' as they went up to the top to open the top of it and goes inside as Driba got a wireless device as he got a syringe out. Bortaric slinked into place as he looked around.
"Hmm...so this is an Mechamorph Submarine form is like..." The Highbreed said as Julie went to the front of the ship as Eddie got into the pilot's seat.
"We're ready, Blukic." said Driba as the two went into it as well as Blukic pressed a button as the ship shrunk down, as it landed on the ground at about a much smaller size. Lucy picked up the syringe and placed it into the liquid before going downstairs.
"Alright Lucy, just put us in a point closest to Ben's head. We need to get into his brain to remove the Novan Blight." said Driba on her communicator as she nods
"Gotcha, the faster we take care of this virus the better. I don't know how long Ben has left..." Lucy said as she came into the room and towards Way Big.
"Its not a virus!" Both Galvans yelled into her ear, making her cringe a bit as she went near where the white skin was on his neck and, feeling a vein, put the syringe into it and squeezed down to let it in.
"OW! What was...whoa...Why are you purple, Luce?" asked Way Big with a groan as Verdona sighed at this.
"Sorry Lucy dear, he's been like this for awhile..." said Verdona as she saw the syringe. "Take it they found out what's wrong?"
"Yeah, something called a Novan Blight got in him..." said Lucy, making Verdona go wide eyed as she pressed a button with her hair as wraps went around his wrists and ankles, confusing Way Big a tad.
"\...what's going on...?" Way Big groaned as the other doctors went over to Verdona and Lucy, confused as she used her magic to keep the healing up.
"The Novan Blight is a dangerous thing...if it's going to his brain, he'll be going through hallucinations...and I doubt we want a rogue To'kustar going postal in here." Verdona explained as they all nod, agreeing as they went back to work.
(Inside of Way Big's arm. 14:03)
The submarine floated around in a light red ocean of liquid, spotlights shining to give them some light as it avoided large, circular discs that came around them. "Hemoglobin, veins pumping...this is diffidently a bipedal organism." Bortaric said, watching it from his window as Manny looked at the tentacled doctor.
"Man, you know a lot about how a body works, huh doc?" asked Manny as Bortaric looked at him with confusion, his 5 eyes blinking a bit.
"Of course. I had to heal DNAlien scouts during the war when I was stationed on Kinet. They were organic, so I had to learn how it worked." Bortaric explained, as he notices odd looks. "Highbreed physiology is less like flesh and blood and more...what's the word, 'squishy' or something along those lines. We have the hard armor but our body is specially designed for these armored bodies to adapt to situations."
Julie nods as Joel looked at this as he asks, "We going the right way?" Joel asked, but Rook frowned when he looked at the radar.
"...We have boogers on the port bow." Rook said as Helen sped over, looking at it with confusion.
"One, it's called 'bogey.' And two...what can there be in here if the virus can't multiply?" Asked Helen, looking at this with confusion...as Driba's eyes shrank.
"OH no.." said Driba as he got up and went to the window and says, "Ship, make a signal about your body to negate the movement of leukocytes near here. They are dangerous if they think we're pathogens."
"Wait, they would think that?" Asked Eddie with a surprised tone as he saw something ahead as he says, "What is that?" ahead of them was a blob-like creature
"A leukocyte. Specifically a Eosinophils, a parasite remover." Bortaric said, concerned as the cell came their way, the cell sparking with red energy.
"What is wrong with it?" asked Julie in confusion as Cooper analyzed it with Ship's online computer.
"It's effected by some sort of energy..." Cooper asked as he looked at Blukic and Driba. "Is it doing something to the white blood cells?"
"Yes. Novan Blights are able to trick leukocytes to attack the body...we need to get around them. Full speed ahead, Ship! Do not let them touch you!" Driba said as Ship gave a beep of confirmations it sped forward, moving around with Eddie's help as Joel frowned at this.
"This reminds me of when I was with a squad in the middle of a riptide in the North Atlantic...if I am right, we should be heading for a fork by now, right? How do we trick it?" asked Joel as he looked over things...and saw something and pressed the button. Suddenly a small device was fired to the right which caused the white blood cell to go after it.
"What was that?" asked Blukic as it followed after the small device, with the submarine going faster to avoid any more of them.
"A small drone. It should keep it distracted." Joel said as the submarine went forward as Gwen concentrated and nods.
"Okay, I sense the dog's mana...but I am sensing something odd about it...it's not as aggressive as it may look. I think it's scared of us..." Gwen said as Julie looked at this with confusion before rubbing her chin at this.
"Well, the last we saw it, we DID Crash it's master's home." Julie said with a shrug as she noticed something...off. "Uh...Is that from the virus?"
"It's not a virus-whoa..." said Blukic as he looked at this with shock. "This isn't good..." In front of them was a black and red marks, making Gwen's eyes widen in horror at how it looked...very familiar to something from the past.
"Oh no...I don't want to know how Ben is gonna react when he sees that..." Gwen muttered, as the ship suddenly began to jerk around. "Whoa!"
"Hey!/What the?/Control this thing!" The others said in shock as Joel looked at Eddie, who grunts as he tried to keep him still.
"What's wrong, Eddie?" Joel as the younger Grandsmith grunts as he pushed on the controls, pressing buttons to stabilize it.
"I think Benjamin is going through some sort of seizure or something...he's moving like crazy!" Bortaric said as blood cells began to move fast, knocking into them.
(Outside...)
Way Big groaned a bit, his body moving up and down as he was shaking, yelling out in pain as his arm as now black and red, giving off an odd glow. "Ben!" Max said, as he and the others ran down but some Plumber medics in Hazmat suits blocked them.
"Magister, wait. You can't interrupt them." said the doctor as Verdona flew to Ben's face, concerned.
"Ben, calm down! We're here to help." Verdona said, trying to help reassure him as Way Big was looking at his arm.
"Mal...ware...get...away from..." Way Big said, his body glowing with blue and violet energy as lightning made of cosmic energy flew around the room, zapping things as everyone ducked.
"Ben, calm down son! It's okay, we're here!" Sandra yelled, as Way Big groaned a bit as Max turned to Verdona.
"You guys need to calm him down. Get him to sleep or something so the others can get to him." Max said as Verdona looked at Carl and Sandra...before nodding as she looks at one of the Plumber medics, who looked up and nods as she took off her uniform...revealing herself to be an lilac-colored Anodite as well with shorter energy hair before flying up.
"Don't worry, baby brother. Mom and I got this." said the younger Anodite as Carl and Frank looked shocked at this.
"Fay!?" asked Carl and Frank in shock as Clyde looked confused, as did Tetrax and the other Plumbers.
"Uh...who is that?" asked Reinrassic, looking at Max who gave them a sheepish look.
"Oh yeah...some of you don't know about our family...this is Carl and Frank's big sister, Fay Tennyson. She's Sunny's mom." said Max as Fay and Verdona both nod as they concentrated.
"Don't worry, Benji. We got you..." said Fay as she and Verdona's eyes glowed. "SOMNUS!" The two said, using their magic to make sparkles go over him, making him groan a bit.
"Don't...let him...Feed...back..." Way Big said, sleeping as Fay and Verdona came over to Max, the younger Anodite crossing her arms.
"Okay pop, who's 'Feedback'?" Fay asked as Max looked at them and nods. He looks at the non-Tennyson relatives as he gave a sigh.
"Okay...family only though. It's Ben's place to tell others outside of it." Max said, as Reinrassic nods in understanding as Max motions his relatives to follow him so he can tell them something. Reinrassic looked at the giant, confused
(Inside of Way Big)
The crew was getting closer, as Ship gave a whimper in his large size as Julie patted the wall to comfort him, as Gwen says, "Ship is getting worried..."
"Seeing Ben like this...so am I...are we near the brain yet?" asked Rook as Driba nods as he looks up at this.
"We should be nearing an opening that the Novan Blight made." Driba said, rubbing his chin at this as he frowned
"Yeah, time to bust a virus." said Eddie with an nod as Driba gave a flat glare to him as Blukic as he sighed a bit.
"It's not a virus...then ext person who calls it that I'm smacking with a wrench." said Blukic in a warning tone as they came across a thin opening as he says, "Just drive through that...it is thin, but it self repairs."
"Okay..." said Eddie as they drove through it...but began to fall from the air, making everyone's eyes widen.
"...we may have miscalcu-LAAAAATEEEEED!" Blukic said, as they all shouted in shock as Ship gave out a loud beep in shock as it changed into its spaceship form and took off into the air, making them all groan a bit.
"Ugh...that was...whoa..." Julie groaned at that as Eddie and the others looked up in shock as they saw a large, 6-legged slime creature with a dark core in the body with gray scales covering the top, the Nemetrix inside of it's glob-like body and having 7 legs and two tiny red eyes. At their size, it was about the size of Humongasaur, and it was attached to what looked like a collection of 'wires' on a stem, likely for the brain and the fin itself.
"...Ah boy...tell me, how much time do we have to take it out?" Gwen asked as Blukic began to type something and nods at this.
"Okay...this isn't good..." Blukic as he says, "If I am right...after his little freak out, we got about...40 minutes to take him out. Because by that time, our shrinking will wear off and we'll grow back t our normal sizes...and that would do immeasurable damage in his head besides what the Blight does! We need to get it out, now!" said Blukic as Julie nods as the creature began to fire red, cosmic energy at them as they flew around the blasts.
"Okay...Eddie, let me on." said Joel as Eddie took off of the controls as Joel glared ahead, smirking to the others.
"Cousin Joel?" Gwen asked, as Joel smirked at her and nods.
"Call me...Omega Squad Leader Joel Tennyson." Joel said, pressing on his belt buckle. Suddenly a dark red fabric formed over him, taking the form of an old school Plumber Uniform but with an Omega insignia on top of his Plumber Badge.
"Wait...Omega Squad...But...that was decommissioned after the end of the Lenopan war..." said Rook, as Joel ave a smirk at this.
"Who do you think was in charge of it?" Joel with a smirk as he says, "Buckle up, kids! You're about to watch a pro at work!" Ship gave out a bellow as it dodged over the fire as Bortaric went to a station, and buckled in, as did the others. "Bortaric, you're a veteran too, right? Lets show these newbies how we veterans do things."
"Indeed Joel Tennyson. It has been too long since I have been in combat." He said as his body began to spread out, his tentacles going into Ship and began to heal any damage he has. Ship beeped in confusion as he looked at the others who stared in shock. "My powers isn't just limited to ORGANIC life, humans...we Bionetic aren't just medics, we are mechanics. We were meant to keep both the soldiers and their equipment at 100%."
"Okay battle stations! Manny, Helen! Take the cannons! Cooper, help Rook on Radar. Julie, keep Ship calm. Gwen, you get ready to put a leash on this dog. Bortaric, you keep this ship together. Eddie, make sure to keep an eye on any opening. You know how to get around under water, so that can help us." Eddie nods as he went to the computer and began to type, getting for any form of off set cameras around the ship. "Blukic, Driba, keep an eye on that timer!"
Ship flew around, dodging the energy blasts as Manny and Helen fired at him with Ship's cannons, while Rook scowled as he was keeping the radar on standby to get around him. Gwen got near a button to attach a latch onto the buggy alien as it was hit, making it roar out as it was hit by the lasers, making it roar out before the Nemetrix came into view.
"I got visual on the Nemetrix! Fire now!" said Rook as Gwen nods, firing out the grapple before it got onto the monster's symbol, making it roar out as it was caught, making it let go of the spot it was clinging too. The ship flew forward, the creature still hanging on as Blukic saw this and frowned.
"We got 27 minutes before the shrinking is worn off!" Blukic said, as Driba looks around.
"Mr. Grandsmith, do you see anything that looks like an exit! A nostril, a ear-hole, ANYTHING!" Driba said as Eddie looked around as he saw light ahead and nods.
"I see something ahead! On the Port side!" said Eddie as they nod as Julie whispers to Ship, as it beeped loudly as the thrusters went into overdrive.
"How are we gonna get out!?" asked Driba as Julie got an idea as she went to Rook.
"You got any sneezing gas or something?" asked Julie as Gwen got the idea and nods to Rook, who nods back as he got out something.
"This should do the trick." Rook said as Julie handed it to Gwen, who got ready to teleport it as they went into the light, which had hairs in it.
"Nose hairs...the nose!" said Driba as Gwen dropped the bomb, making it disappear...and it exploded into powder in his nose.
Outside, the sleeping Way Big groaned a bit as he felt a ticking sensation as he gave a few groans. "Aaaah...aaah...ah no..." The doctors heard this and all ran away, finding cover as Max heard this, going wide eyed.
"Everyone, hit the dirt!" said Max as Verdona put a barrier around everyone as they ducked and covered as Way Big continued to try and hold it until-
"AAAH-CHUUUU!" Came the thunderous sneeze, sending a shock wave out as a tiny speck was flown out of it's mouth before it glowed bright and returned to the large spaceship, making it crash onto the ground before Ship returned to normal, making those inside fall out with a groan with the dog alien returning to normal, shaking itself off with a small growl.
"Ugh..." Kevin said as he saw the windows had cracked open from that as he came downstairs with Alan, both powered up and got their powers ready; sparking electricity for Kevin and fire for Alan as the two advanced at he dog. "Hey there, pooch...down...stay." The dog-like beast growled, glaring Kevin down as he glared back, as if testing the dog...before it tilted it's had curiously...before it began to glow red, making it howl out in pain as it's body glowed red.
"What the?" asked Julie as she and the others sat up and looked in shock as it began to change into Crabdozer and then into the Root shark and then the Mucilator. "Whats going on?"
"The Nemetrix...we must have damaged it!" Rook said as the monstrous aliens roared out as I kept changing before it suddenly vanished from sight, it's body glowing blue and then vanished, making them all look confused as they saw the red and black lining began to fade, making Way Big sigh a bit.
"Ugh..." Way Big said, calming down as Bortaric looked at him...and nods to the others, giving them confirmation of his health getting better.
(Later...at the Recovery room for normal sized patients. 16:54)
Fay was looking over Ben's vitals, nodding as she gave Ben a smile, with him back in his human form with Sandra and Carl next to him as she gave them a nod. "Don't worry Ben, the Virus is out of your system."
"It's not a virus!" said Driba and Blukic from outside of the room as Fay just chuckled a bit as Ben got up and gave her a friendly hug, which the energy being returned with a smile as they walked out where the crowd came over and looked the four over, especially Ben.
"Don't worry guys, I Got a clean bill of health." said Ben, reassuring them as Julie walked over, kissing him on the lips real quick before hugging him. Ben gave Mr. and Mrs. Yamamoto a sheepish look, but the two just gave a shrug, giving him a pass for now as Vera hued him as well, unaware of Verdona and Max's whispering before they nod with Verdona shining brightly.
"Hmm?" Natalie asked as she saw Verdona in a more human form; her hair was neck length and silver colored, dark blue eyes and wearing a dark green shirt, a gray bandanna around her neck and a ankle-length skirt and black shoes. "What's with that, Verdona?"
"Given some of the recent events with...well, my part of the family. I am starting to realize that I am losing touch with the world...which may be causing me to not have full control. So, Fay and I are moving in with Max in Bellwood. If you don't mind." said Verdona as Gwen smiled at that.
"Really? Swee-wait...doesn't that mean...?" Gwen began as Ben and Kevin's eyes shrank nervously, as Julie groaned.
"Ah crud..." Clyde said as Joel gave Lucy a concerned look, who just looked super confused before someone appeared beside Fay...two somebodies to be exact; One was a 6'7 giant of a man with a thick body with noticeable hair on his forearms, chest and a full head of hair and a thick bushy beard, but had kind-looking brown eyes and wearing an outdoorsy flannel shirt and a pair of jeans with workman boots.
But the newest arrival was a Gothic teen with short black hair, blue-violet eyes and a very out-there attire; a pair of earrings in her right ear, a black jacket over a purple shirt with a panther head on the front, a pair of black jeans and black spiked boots with a choker around her neck with a strange ruin on the front. Fay then shined herself, turning into a brunette with cyan colored eyes, a blue polo shirt and a black skirt, smiling at this time.
"Yep, we're in Bellwood now. Hope yo don't mind, cuz." said the Gothic teen with a smirk as the tall man gave his daughter a look.
"Don't get smart, Missy. You know the drill AND what Grandpa Max said." said the man as Ben looked confused and concerned.
"What's going on, Uncle Manny...?" asked Ben as the man, Uncle Manny, just smirked as he crossed his arms, giving his daughter a bit of a self-satisfied smirk.
"Don't you know? We're having Sunny here learn some responsibility while we're here...she's going to the Plumber Academy." said Uncle Manny...as Julie, Lucy and Adolherd looked like their blood ran cold.
"...Someone just put that virus back in me now, please..." Ben groaned, as Driba looked like he as about to burst.
"IT'S NOT A-ah forget it." Driba said, his tone flat as Blukic just chuckled a bit at that. "It's not funny..."
"Yes it was." Blukic said as Driba just shoved him away out of annoyance. Ben looked at he others, concerned as Sunny just gave Gwen the stink eye, which was returned in full force. Ken got between the two, hoping the lessen the tension as Kevin was about to sneak out.
(At Psychobos' lab. 16:56)
Psychobos nods as he looked at the Nemetrix, which was sparking slightly from the damage it had sustained from the latch from Ship's grapple, frowning a bit as he says, "It appears that those brats have damaged the regulator...it'll take time to make repairs." said Psychobos as Orianus pat the dog, who was groaning a bit in pain.
"Dang...who knew that thing could almost rip this mutt to bits." said Orianus, making Psychobos look up interested as Malware and Khyber were busy looking over something.
"Yes...quite interesting indeed..." said Psychobos, chuckling evilly as if an idea had formed in his head, looking a the shining face of the Nemetrix as he just chuckled darkly.
End of Episode 3
Well, this was a heavy hitter. I hope it wasn't TOO confusing on what was going on or too cluttered, but here I introduced many characters who will be playing parts in future events. I always felt it odd that characters who were affiliated with Ben only had like one appearance or just never appeared again after awhile. So I decided to give Ben's family a bit more of a role in the future for some story ideas that I can use. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this. Please Read, Review and Suggest away!
