Ben Ten: Ultimatrix League
Episode 3: Null And Void
Jimmy POV
It had been 3 days since I fell of the hospital bed and turned into Wildmutt. I had since then been beating up gangsters and aliens. I was turning my ultimatrix dial trying to get into a locked playlist when I got an incoming call from caller Ben T.
"Jimmy!" Ben said hurriedly, like he was in a middle of a fight. "I need help! I'm in downtown..." Then something or someone smashed Ben's phone because the sound died and the connection was broken. I turned my dial and slammed it down. I felt my fingers melt into three claws, a mask appear across my face and felt a tail erupt out of my behind. "XLR8!" I grabbed my backpack and ran out my door. On my way out I told my parents I'd be back by dinner, but I'd already gone 500 feet by the time they heard it.
Once I was in downtown I hid behind a building and untransformed. As far as I could see I couldn't find any fighting. Had those aliens that Ben was fighting taken hostage. I turned my dial to ChamAlien so I could find some information when something vibrated in my backpack pocket. It was my phone. It said unknown caller but I picked it up anyways. It was Ben.
I hadn't even said hello when Ben interrupted. "I'm using a payphone and I don't have much time. I'm fighting Tetramand Null Void prisoners and they're not so glad to see me."
"Null Void? What's that?" I asked.
" Tell you later. I don't know if you heard me before but I'm in down town Beijing."
"Beijing! I'm on my way!" I informed Ben but as I was hanging up I could hear Ben screaming. I turned my dial to a manta-like alien and slammed it down. I felt my skin turn into scales, rays connecting my waist to my arms and two curved horns. "Jetray!" Man, to think I thought this guy was called Jeffrey. I extended my wings and kicked into hyperspeed.
Ben POV
As I got a left hook to my face I saw Jimmy come out of hyperspace. The aliens hid back into the shadows. Jimmy obviously didn't see them because he untransformed and ran to my side.
"Look out!" I warned Jimmy just as the escapees attacked. Jimmy turned around and slammed down his dial.
Jimmy POV
I could feel my eyes being replaced by giant ears and eyes appearing all over my body. "Eye Guy!" I fired two bolts at a blue Tetrameter. He fell backwards into a pile of metal. Then I saw something roll out of the pile.
"What's that?" I asked.
"That? It's a null void projector." Ben responded untransforming.
"Oh yah! Why Four Arms?" I asked.
"It's complicated." Ben responded.
"You didn't get the alien you wanted? I've been thinking what if there's a jinx. Ben looked at me raising an eyebrow. "I mean like if you shout out the alien's name before you hit the Ultimatrix it'll give you a different one on purpose."
"Oh, shut up!" Ben instructed turning his dial to Cannonbolt. "I need you to get that projector, but we need a diversion. I'll go Cannonbolt and distract the prisoners while you get the projector to send them back to the Null Void."
"Wait, you still haven't explained what the Null void is."
"Later." Ben retorted slamming down his dial. "Wildvine!"
"Usually I'd say that was proof of a jinx, but this time I'd call it karma!"
"Whatever!" Ben said throwing a bomb in the blue Tetramand.
"I like Eye Guy but for this I need..." I thought slamming the symbol in the middle of my chest. "Lodestar!" I aimed my claws at the projector and pushed on my powers. The projector flew into my hands. Cool! I aimed behind the criminals and fired. Whoa! Jeez, that's a lot of power. I could barely keep the projector in my hands. Trying to keep it in one hand I used the other to my symbol. "FourArms!" Grabbing the projector securely in my four hands the portal opened wider but started to die.
"Fools!" Said the lead purple Tetramand. "The bombs' radiation is already destroying the Null Void!"
Ben POV
"Wait, my bombs?" I asked surprised. Not that was really, I just needed a two second diversion.
"Not yours, fool." A small, in a Tetramand's point of view, blue Tetramand said like I was the most unintelligent sentient being in the galaxy. "Vulkanus' bombs that are hidden in the Null Void." The lead Tetramand looked menacingly at the smaller one like he had revealed too much.
"Where is Vulkanus now?" I asked the Tetramands.
"Why should we tell you?" They asked me.
"'Cuz if you don't you'll have to mess with..." I said hitting my symbol. "DiamondHead!" Then I thought about something. "Or better of as..." I said rotating my symbol to the right and slammed it down. I felt my two spikes on my shoulders expand and six spikes spurt out of my side. "Ultimate DiamondHead!"
"Wicked!" Exclaimed Jimmy.
"More than wicked, freakin' awesome!" I told him ecstatically as I fired a spike at the small Tetramand.
He grabbed and said. "Ha! Loser!"
But the lead Tetramand warned him. "Fool it probably harbors secrets. It is a shard of an Evolved Petrosapien."
"Whatevs! It can't be that danger..." But his sentence was cut off as the shard injected itself in his skin and petrified him.
"Okay. Here's my deal I'll wipe your slate clean and tell me where Vulkanus lives or I petrify you and you go to a high security vault at the Plumbers' Academy.
"We'll take the slate cleaning." the lead Tetramand said.
"We are?" Interrupted another Tetramand.
"Yes we are." Responded the lead Tetramand to the one who had interrupted, then he faced me and said. "Vulkanus lives at..."
Jimmy POV
When we got to the palace Ben was not in a good mood. When we got to the gate I noticed it was locked. I turned to hit my dial but Ben was faster. "Eye Guy!" He fired a bolt at the lock then untransformed and knocked the gate door of its handle and walked upward. I ran after him. It was getting dark. "Ben how are going to get in?" I asked. "I mean there must be guards, heat sensors and high security."
"Then we need ChamAlien." Ben responded.
"Really wouldn't Big Chill be better?"
"Not exactly, ChamAlien can cancel off his heat waves so he would be practically not there." Ben said turning his dial to ChamAlien and then he slammed it down. "Big Chill!" Ben did a facepalm. "Seriously! Oh man!"
I turned my dial to ChamAlien and slammed it down. I felt my eyes split into three, my skin turn transparent and a spike appear out of my new tail. "ChamAlien!" I said pumping my fist into the air. "Booyah!"
But Ben just muttered. "Showoff."
Once we had entered the palace we were able to find Vulkanus's room very quickly. Once we entered we both untransformed at the same time. Then Ben shoved me aside and gave me a teleporter and pressed the button. Just before I teleported I heard Ben say "Eon." and then I saw Vulkanus.
"Ah, Ben Tennyson, we meet again."
When I appeared at the place which Ben teleported me, there was nothing to stand on. "Aaaah!" I screamed falling towards an asteroid. I reached for my dial and slammed it down. "CannonBolt!" Aww, seriously, I wanted Goop. Then I hit the asteroid and bounced off it and hit another one. This carried around like a game of pinball until I was able to hit the dial. "Goop!" Finall...But my train of thought was interrupted as I slammed into an asteroid. "Ow! That hurt!" I whimpered: But then I fell off it and hit a huge asteroid. I bounced up once then untransformed. Then I saw a face over me. "Who are you!" I asked.
"Welcome to the Null Void." He responded.
"Great, now you guys can explain to me what is this place!" I asked happily.
"No time! You must turn off the bomb!"
"OK. So where is it."
"Here." Said a smaller settler giving me the bomb.
"Thanks." I said and looked at the bomb. It was a time bomb. "Well that's great. All we need is..." I said turning my ultimatrix to a metal looking alien and slammed it down. I felt my body turn to metal, I felt my head pop off and float above my body and a magnetic power run over me. "Lodestar!" I started using my powers to stop the timer, but instead the timer tripled its speed and the words "Nice try, Ben Tennyson" flash across the screen. Then I saw the timer hit zero. I saw the smaller settler run away and the older one brace his neck and walked backwards.
BOOM!
I saw the younger one hit the floor and land eagle spread on the ground and the older one fall down. I on the other hand flew backwards and untransformed. Then I hit a rock and went unconscious.
When I came round I heard sobbing and the older settler say over and over again. "He's dead!" I looked over at the settlers. They were all huddled around a mound. Then I noticed it was the grave of the younger settler. "I'm so sorry." I apologized to the older settler.
"We found a bomb." Informed a group of settlers.
"That's great. But I can't turn it off." I responded. "It knows all my aliens." I explained turning my dial, then I hit the locked playlist. It said "Please register password" Then I remembered what Ben had said. I looked at the Ultimatrix and said. "Eon" "Password registered. Playlist unlocked."
I looked at the aliens: a cat-like one, Fasttrack, a big elephant-like one, Airphant, a spikey looking one, Badaboom, a frog-like one, Leapfrog, one with two bodies, Brains & Brawn, a quetzolcotal-like, Skybird, a psychopathic looking one, Mindmesser, a monster-like one, Cryptos, a dragon-like one, Darkflame, and a mechanical one, Clockwork.
"Time to get rid of this bomb." I said turning my dial and hitting it. "Clockwork!" I turned towards the bomb and noticed it was huge. "Geez, the other one was smaller."
"We think this a main bomb. The other one was a minor one. We think that are four. One has already exploded by the prison, and this is the second and..." The group of settlers said giving me an electronic map of the Null Void. "This is one of the four." I pointed my powers at the bomb. The timer stopped and I untransformed.
"So where's the next one?" I asked myself looking at my map, then I turned my dial to the cat-like alien and slammed it down. I felt the blue and black skin run over me, and spikes appear all over my blue part of my skin and two black horn like spikes appear over my eyes. "Fasttrack!"
I looked at the asteroid in front of me, inside it harbored the third bomb. Then I must have tripped over a rock because I flew towards the asteroid. "Aaah!" I cried as i hit my dial. "Big Chill!" So instead of colliding into the rock, I flew straight through it. I flew to the top and hit my dial. "Goop!" I melted straight to the middle of the asteroid where I heard the all too familiar. "Nice Try, Ben Tennyson." I hit my dial. "Clockwork!" I shut down the timer at exactly two seconds. "Phew!" I said untransforming. "Now how do I get out?" I asked myself turning my dial to the frog-like alien and slammed it down. "Leapfrog!" I used my big hind legs to jump out. In mid-air I untransformed. When I got to my feet I heard my map ringing. Then the screen illuminated the worlds. "Null Void Guardians. Help!" I turned my dial to Fasttrack and slammed it down. "XLR8!" Sometimes I hate this watch.
I untransformed as I got to the asteroid. Null Void Guardians were shooting lasers at the settlers from tails. I turned my dial and slammed it down. "Leapfrog!" I jumped up into the air near a few Null Void Guardians and hit my symbol. "Airphant!" I sucked in lots of air then blew it out at some Null Void Guardians then hit my symbol. "Wildvine!" I grabbed one of the Null Void Guardians and flipped on its back and hit my symbol. "Brainstorm!" I shocked the Null Void Guardian and it careened into another one. I jumped off just in time and hit my symbol. "Cryptos!" I commanded one of the Null Void Guardians into another one. Then I hit my symbol. "Jetray!" I zapped away the rest of the Null Void Guardians. I landed and untransformed.
"Thank you." Thanked the settlers. But I had already turned my dial and slammed it down. "Leapfrog!"
I jumped onto the asteroid which harbored the final bomb. Then I was shot in the back with a stun laser. I hit my symbol. "Diamondhead!" I fired into the void, but there was no one there. Then I was hit in the face. I got up but then thought that if I couldn't see them I could hear them. I hit my symbol. "Eye Guy!" Then I heard a reloading of a gun and I fired laser where I heard the sound. I saw a Tetramand fall and land on the asteroid and go unconscious. But then the other alien hit me in one of my back eyes. I untransformed in pain. I turned around and saw that my attacker was a Pyronite. I fired but I had already hit my Ultimatrix dial. "Chromastone!" I rebounded the laser and fired it back at him. Then I hit my symbol. "Diamondhead!" I transformed my arms into spikes and tried to dig my way to the bomb, but to no avail. I hit my symbol again. "Armodrillo!"
Once I had the bomb I got out and hit my symbol. "Clockwork!" I aimed at the bomb, but just then a GIANT Null Void Guardian stole it. I hit my symbol. "Leapfrog!" I jumped upon the Null Void Guardian and hit my symbol again. "Rath!" I grabbed the Null Void guardian by his tentacles and said. "Let me tell ya something Null Void Guardian-thingy, you're gonna give me that bomb or else you're gonna have ta mess wit da Rath Attack!" And The Null Void Guardian seemed to pick the latter. I grabbed the bomb out of its mouth and jumped off it. Then I heard that dreadful noise. Bip-Bip-Bip-Bip-Bwouch! I untransformed on the spot and fell. I thought I was going to die when I remembered the teleporter. Grabbing the bomb with one hand I pressed the teleporter's button.
Ben POV
I saw Jimmy appear on the floor and pass out. Then I saw the bomb. I turned the Ultimatrix dial with the chains I was hung with on the ceiling. Vulkanasus was still in the other room making a phone call. I then twisted my hand and slammed down the dial. I felt a shell erupt from my back, my hands turn into flippers and six holes appear on my chest. "Terraspin!" I twirled around and the chains broke free. I landed on the ground and hit my symbol. "Big Chill!"
Then Vulkanus came running into the room. "What in blazes..." I took the bomb and chucked it at Vulkanus. The timer read 1 min. and 56 seconds. Vulkanus grabbed it in his hands and did something fancy with it and it's timer stopped at 1 min. 19 seconds. "Phew. Thank the fire lords that's over with."
And then he noticed what he had done. He looked at me and I just turned my symbol to the right and slammed it down. "Ultimate Big Chill!" I breathed fire all over him and he froze into a big block. I devolved and untransformed. I ran to Jimmy's side just as he came to.
