S1 EP4: The Battle Begins
Greetings, guys. As you all know, I've been at this superhero thing for a few days and I've been doing some good. Two supervillians and an occasional petty thief here and there, but I haven't faced something as collasal as an invasion. Until now, of course.
Right now, I'm sitting on the couch in the RV, messing with my Omnitrix. Max was driving, Ben and Logan were playing NBA 2K15 and Charity was watching and cheering for Ben. Gwen was up front with Max, typing something on her laptop.
I twisted the dial around to the right a couple times, hearing the beeping noises that it was making as I did.
Trey: "Come on, Omnitrix. Open up." After a while, Charity came over and sat next to me.
Charity: "Hey, babes. What's up?" I smiled at her, then went back to messing with the watch.
Trey: "The Omnitrix gave me Boombox when I fought Ember, so maybe if I fuck with it, I can unlock more."
Charity: "You shouldn't mess around with that thing, babe. You don't know everything about it." I stopped messing with the watch and turned to her.
Trey: "But, Chare. If I get more forms, I'll be more powerful and able to beat more powerful villians."
Charity: "Or, you could practice with the forms that you know about, instead of overwhelming yourself." I realized that she was right, then went over to Max, who was paying attention to the road.
Max: "What's the problem, sport?"
Trey: "Can we stop somewhere so I can train with my powers? I want to get better with them." I saw Max smile a bit.
Max: "That's very responsible of you, Trey. There's an abandoned junkyard up ahead. I'll see if I can help you out a bit." Gwen groaned.
Gwen: "Really, grandpa? Why are we continuing to encourage these acts of vigilantism? We should be trying to get that watch off of him instead of helping him do the police's job."
Trey: "Hey, Gwen."
Gwen: "Yeah?"
Trey: "Shut the fuck up." Max looked at me after I said that.
Max: "Can we tone down the language just a bit, Trey?" I nodded and went back to the others. Ben was cracking up about what I said to Gwen and Logan was glaring at me. I shrugged and put my arm around Charity as we watched TV.
Meanwhile, at an abandoned warehouse. A young looking guy, wearing grey armor, and an older looking guy, wearing the same thing, were standing in front of a large computer monitor. The young one was holding a type of scanner.
Young guy: "I don't get it! The DNA scanner pinpointed the device to this planet, but as soon as we get here, the scanner goes blank!" He slammed his fists on the counter in frustration. The older guy put his hand on the young guy's shoulder.
Older guy: "Calm down, Pierce. Maybe this war can be won without the device." Pierce turned around and looked at him.
Pierce: "Get real, Magister Lerman! You know as well as I do that there is no chance of winning without the Omnitrix!" Magister Lerman sighed.
Magister Lerman: "You are correct, son. But, if the scanner can't pinpoint its DNA structure, all is lost." Pierce suddenly jumped up.
Pierce: "That's it!" He pulled out his scanner and started working on it.
Magister Lerman: "What?"
Pierce: "This scanner was created to pinpoint the Omnitrix's lone DNA structure, but we both know that the Omnitrix is known to merge with other beings' DNA."
Magister: "So, you're saying..."
Pierce: "Yes sir! Someone on earth has the Omnitrix. And this scanner will lead us right to them." He activated the scanner and when he pinpointed the location, they both hopped on hoverboards and flew off.
With us...
We were in that abandoned junkyard. Max had set up a training course for me to get better with the Omnitrix. Ben, Gwen, Charity and Logan were sitting in an old car. I was standing in the middle of the course.
Max: "Ready?" I smirked and slammed the watch, transforming into Biohazard and striking a pose.
Biohazard: "Ready!" Max pressed a button and some cans came at me. I shot mini doom discs at each of them, destroying them. He made some boards come up and I slapped my symbol, going Flarecrow and shot them with fireballs. Some targets popped up and I shot a flamethrower at each one, burning them to a crisp. Some old tires came at me, I slapped my symbol, going Chill Factor and slowed them down with my ice breath, then broke them into pieces. More targets came up and I shot them all down with ice shards. Max made an old engine come at me. I slapped my symbol, going Makeshift and phased through it, then slapped it again, going Web Head and used a web line to slam it to the ground.
Web Head: "Come on, Max. Give me a challenge."
Max: "How about this?" He pressed a button and a catapult activated, flinging a car at me. I slapped my symbol, going Power House, then caught the car, smashed it and threw it back.
Max: "This then." He made some arrows come at me and jumped up and starting running on them until they all past me. More came out and I slapped my symbol, going Red Lightning and dodged all of them at super speed.
Max: "This one will get him for sure." He pulled a lever and a wrecking ball came swinging at me. I slapped my symbol, going Boombox. Then, I flew up and landed on the ball, then used my sonic scream to break the chain and send it falling to the ground. I landed and the watch timed out, reverting me to normal.
Trey: "I'm too good for this, Max."
Max: "Yeah...or are you!" He pressed a button and a tire came and hit me on the back of the head.
Trey: "Shit."
Max: "You've got your powers down. But, mastering distraction? Not so much." I nodded while rubbing the spot the tire hit.
Trey: "Yeah, I need to work on that. Then, Arsenal will be even more amazingly awesome!" Max chuckled at that.
Max: "Well, I guess we should relax until you recharge." Ben and Logan came over.
Ben: "Actually..."
Logan: "He promised to spar with us after he was done with his training." He and Ben got into fighting stances.
Max: "Both of you? At the same time?" I cracked my knuckles and smirked.
Trey: "Don't worry, Max. I won't hurt them too bad." Max went and sat with the others while I had a staredown with Ben and Logan.
Trey: "Okay, guys. Let's see what you got."
They both rushed at me. I ducked under a punch from Ben and kicked him in the stomach. He went to the ground, clutching his stomach. Logan kicked at me but I caught his leg, spun him around and kicked him in the back, sending him flying five feet away.
Gwen: "Trey!"
Trey: "Sorry. Didn't know I was that strong." Ben got up and punched at me twice. I blocked with both my forearms and gave him a swift punch to the face, making him stumble back.
Trey: "Come on, you guys. If you're gonna be superhero sidekicks, you have to step it up." Logan ran at me and swung, but I grabbed his fist and threw him at Ben, who was running at me. They both fell to the ground.
I went over and helped them up.
Trey: "Let's call it a draw." The others came over to us.
Gwen: "Where did you learn to fight like that?" I shrugged.
Trey: "When you grow up in an orphanage as the son of a mental patient, you need to learn how to defend yourself." My stomach growled along with Ben and Logan's.
Logan: "Ugh, I'm hungry!"
Trey and Ben: "Me too."
Max: "Come on. I saw a Burger King a few miles back." We all piled into the RV and took off.
When we got to Burger King, we walked in.
Max: "What is everyone having?"
Trey: "I'll have nuggets and fries."
Ben: "Get me a whopper Jr."
Logan: "I'll have a regular whopper."
Charity: "Salad for me."
Gwen: "Same for me." Max went to the counter to order and the rest of us sat at a booth. I sat next to Charity, who put her arm around my waist. Ben was in the middle and Logan was next to Gwen. They smiled awkwardly at each other. I shook my head and smirked.
Trey: "Everything ok, guys?" They both looked up at me.
Logan and Gwen: "Everything's fine!" Charity, Ben and I laughed.
Max came back with our food and we started chowing down. Charity ws feeding me fries and I fed her a bite of my chicken nugget. Ben made a gagging noise.
Ben: "Get a room, why don't ya!"
Logan: "I'm with Benji on this one. It's great that you two are all kissy now but can you tone it down in front of us." I smirked at him.
Trey: "You could be all kissy with someone too if you would just stop being so 'friendly'." I added air quotes to the word friendly.
After I said that, Gwen's face turned bright red and Max looked suspicious.
Max: "That fact aside, I think we should let Trey and Charity have their cute moments. They're obviously very fond of each other." After he said that, Charity and I looked at each other and stuck our tounges out at each other, making Max chuckle.
Suddenly, a sphere thing rolled out from under the table and started beeping.
Ben: "Hey, um, is that a-" He was cut off by it exploding and blowing me, Ben and Logan into a wall while Max, Charity and Gwen were blown behind the counter. Pierce and Magister Lerman flew in on hoverboards.
Pierce: "Magister, the Omnitrix has been pinpointed to this location." He looked around and noticed me, "That boy has it!"
They flew down in front of me, just as I stood up.
Trey: "Man, getting blown up hurts."
Magister Lerman: "Alright, kid. Give us the Omnitrix." I activated the watch and scrolled to Igneo's shadow.
Trey: "Oh, I'll give you the Omnitrix!" I slammed it, instead of Igneo, becoming...
Red Lightning: "Red Lightning? I didn't choose you, but I'll work with this." I bounced off a wall and kicked Pierce off his board, then came back and did the same to Lerman. Lerman got up and shot me with an electric blast, shocking me. I slapped my symbol, becoming Jumpstart and redirected the shock to the ground. I flew over and used an electric blast to make their hoverboards hit both of them. They went flying into a wall.
Jumpstart: "Alright, you two, who are you? By the way, those are some ugly uniforms." Suddenly, Lerman pulled out a net launcher and stuck me to the wall. He walked over and slapped my symbol, reverting me to normal.
Trey: "Hey, how'd you do that?!" Ben and Logan ran up and attacked them.
Ben: "Leave him alone!" They threw a bunch of punches and kicks but were easily beaten and tied up. Gwen and Charity just gave up and were tied up.
Trey: "Leave them alone! Your beef is with me!" I struggled to get free but I heard a loud noise and next thing I know, I'm unconcious.
...
I woke up tied to a chair, with my hands behind my back. I looked around and saw the others tied up too, still knocked out. Pierce and Magister Lerman were talking.
Pierce: "What are we going to do, Magister? There is no way that we can possibly win without the Omnitrix."
Magister: "I know. But, it is already bonded to the boy's DNA. It is absolutely impossible to remove without Galvan technology."
Pierce: "I guess all is lost, then. We've lost."
Trey: "Lost what?" It was then that they noticed I was up.
Pierce: "None of your buisness, kid. Just know that you're in a whole mess of trouble." I gulped.
The others woke up next.
Trey: "Charity, are you alright?" She looked up at me, groggily.
Charity: "I'm fine, hero. Where are we?" Max looked around.
Max: "It's a Plumber headquarters. I'd say somewhere in Chicago." He looked at the guys that attacked us. "Phil?"
Magister Lerman looked at Max and his eyes got wide.
Magister: "Max Tennyson. What are you doing associating with this boy?"
Logan: "Hey! That boy has saved a lot of people since he's had the watch!"
Magister: "So we've heard." They showed us a monitor, which was playing my battles with Ember and Dr. Krantz.
Pierce: "Arsenal, huh? You've been using the Omnitrix to live out some kind of childish dream of being a hero?" I glared at him.
Trey: "NO! Well...sort of. But, I also do it because people need help. Just like when I stopped you guys from hurting people at the food place."
Pierce: "Hurting people? We don't hurt people, we help people." I got confused.
Trey: "Wait, you guys are good guys? Then, why'd you go busting up a Burger King?"
Pierce: "To get that." He pointed to my wrist as he said that.
Trey: "Sorry, but the watch and I kind of attatched."
Magister: "We know. Which is why I have decided to have you assist us in this current matter."
Pierce: "Magister, what are you doing? We can't trust this child with such a serious problem."
Magister: "Judging by his skill in using the Omnitrix and the fact that Max Tennyson is with him, I think we can."
Max: "I can honestly say that this boy is as qualified as anyone." Pierce sighed, then came over and untied all of us. Magister Lerman came over and shook my hand.
Magister: "Welcome aboard, Arsenal." I smiled. We were led into a room with a giant monitor on it.
Pierce: "Here's the situation. A race of evil aliens called Saiyans are on route here to kill all of the inhabitants of the planet and claim it as their own since their planet was destroyed years ago."
Ben: "So they just picked earth out of random?"
Magister: "No. The Saiyans have traveled to at least a dozen planets. When they didn't find the right fit, they destroyed the planet, along with its inhabitants." My eyes got wide.
Trey: "Let me get this straight. They killed probably over a million aliens just because they didn't like their planet? What a bunch of assholes!"
Gwen: "And you want Trey to fight off these Saiyans."
Magister: "Precisely." Suddenly, an alarm went off and the monitor showed a feed of a pod flying towards earth.
Magister: "That's a Saiyan pod. We need to move. Trey, come here!" I turned on the watch and went Jumpstart.
Jumpstart: "No time. That pod is landing in town, which means people could get hurt!" I flew up through the ceiling and toward the city.
Pierce: "That boy is gonna save our skins? I don't believe it."
Max: "We need to follow him. He has no idea what he's facing."
With me...
I kept flying until I reached the city and landed when I got there. What I saw wasn't good. Vicki Vale was walking up to a human - like alien with white and yellow armor on. He was also bald.
Vicki: "Tell us, alien man. Who are you? What are you doing here? Do you have any connection to our beloved alien hero, Arsenal?" The alien smirked.
Alien: "Let me answer that with this." He prepared a beam and was about to fire, but I swooped Vicki up on a web, as Web Head. I sat her down safely, next to a crowd of people.
Web Head: "Didn't your mother tell you not to talk to strangers?" I web swung back over to the alien.
Web Head: "Hiyah there, baldy. I think the wig store is down the block."
Alien: "A symbiote? What's one of you doing on this planet?"
Web Head: "Haven't you heard? I'm the sheriff around these parts. Now, what are you doing here?"
Alien: "My name is Nappa the Saiyan. I am here to scope out the planet and kill a few people to pave the way for my Saiyan brothers." I slapped my symbol, becoming Igneo and put rocks around my fists.
Igneo: "Sorry, Nappa. But that's not happening."
Nappa: "I see, you have that thing King Vegeta talked about that one time. The ArmyWrix." I sighed and face palmed.
Igneo: "It's called the Omnitrix. And you're about to see it in action!" I ran at him and punched him in the face. He stood there like I hadn't hit him at all, then he kneed me in the stomach. Hard. I spat out blood. Then, he uppercutted me, sending me flying up and over a building. I landed on the street and slid a few feet. I got up slowly.
Igneo: "Tough guy, huh?" He flew over and I charged at him. I punched him twice in the face and started wailing on his stomach but he just stood there, not even hurt. After I had tired myself out, he simply backhanded me into the side of a building, then slammed into me with his shoulder. Even with my rock hard skin, it hurt like hell. I managed to slap my symbol, becoming Makeshift and phased through his body, then slapped it again, becoming Boombox. I shot my most powerful sound wave at him and managed to make him stumble a bit. I used this opportunity to fly at him, ready to punch him but he caught my arm and slammed me down onto the concrete street. I kicked him in the chin, making him let me go, then slapped my symbol, becoming Hydro Tide. I made all of the water from a fire hydrant blast him but that did absolutely nothing to him. He grabbed me and hit me with a German suplex, which fucking hurt. Then he socked me in the stomach and I flew back through the building and landed in the street. I weakly touched my symbol, becoming Chill Factor. Nappa came flying at me and when he got to me, I blew my ice breath, freezing him solid.
Chill Factor: "Phew." He instantly broke out.
Chill Factor: "Give me a break!" I shot ice shards at him but he walked right through them and grabbed me by my face with one hand. He slammed me multiple times then fired a blast out of the hand he was holding me with, sending me flying farther away from him. I got up and slapped my symbol, becoming Biohazard then turned both my hands into boo yah blasters and blasted him. He was sent flying through a building.
Biohazard: "Hello? Are you ready to give up?" He came out of the building, completely unharmed.
Biohazard: "Kill me now." He smirked.
Nappa: "I'll be happy to." He flew at me and socked me HARD in the face, then kneed me in the stomach and finished me off with a blast to my whole body, making me fly back and land on the street. I reverted to normal out of fatigue and next thing I know, I'm out cold.
...
I woke up on a table at Plumbers headquarters. Charity and the others were crowded around me.
Ben: "He's awake!" Charity immediately jumped on top of me and started kissing my face.
Charity: "Baby, are you okay? We found you in the street looking all fucked up." I hugged her and she got off me.
Trey: "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little sore, is all."
Max: "What happened, son?" I sat up with a little pain.
Trey: "I fought this guy called Nappa. He wants to take over the world and pave the way for other Saiyans."
Pierce: "Wait, you fought Nappa?"
Trey: "Not so much fight, as get my ass handed to me."
Magister: "Nappa is the lowest level Saiyan there is."
Logan: "But, Trey could barely touch him."
Magister: "That shows how powerful the Saiyans really are." I noticed that the news was playing on the monitor.
Trey: "Turn that up." Pierce turned it up.
Vicki Vale: "This is Vicki Vale, on location in downtown Chicago, where the alien invader known as Nappa has already taken over. He's been here for 2 hours and has already seized control of our city. He's also made short work of Arsenal, the alien superhero who fought a valiant fight but was eventually defeated. I know the question on everyone's mind is; where is our hero now?" Max turned off the monitor, but I was already pissed.
Trey: "Great. Just fucking great!" I got up off the table and started pacing.
Logan: "Treez, it's not your fault."
Trey: "What the fuck do you mean it's not my fault?! I'm the only one that has the power to stop Nappa and I didn't. These people are expecting me to protect them and I'm sitting here with boo-boos because I can't do that."
Charity: "Trey, you did your best. That's all you can do." She put her arms around me and pulled me into a hug, but I just stood there with my head buried in her shoulder. She sighed and rubbed my back. Logan and Gwen didn't know what to say so they just sighed and sat there.
Ben: "Come on, Trey! There's gotta be something you can do. You're a superhero!" I looked up from Charity's shoulder.
Trey: "Like what? I can't even touch him."
Magister: "I have an idea."
Trey: "Don't say give up the Omnitrix cuz it's stuck. I'm sorry."
Pierce: "Stop apologizing and hold out the Omnitrix." I did and Magister Lerman twisted the dial twice to the left and three times to the right. It glowed green.
Robotic voice: "New DNA samples added. 20 samples unlocked in total."
Trey: "No way! You guys rock!"
Ben: "Whoa!"
Magister: "And I think this particular alien might help us in our case." He scrolled to a shadow of a kid and pressed it down. I glowed green.
...
Back in town. Nappa was sitting on a throne in the middle of the street. Two ladies were on either side of him with fans. He also had two guys on the ground, acting as foot stools.
Nappa: "Bring me my pleasure slave!" A girl, looking around my age, walked over.
Girl: "Yes, Mr. Nappa?" Nappa grinned, creepily and walked over to her.
Nappa: "Yes. You're a nice looking earth girl. I shall have lots of fun with you." He started touching her all over her body.
Girl: "No! STOP!"
Nappa: "Go ahead and scream, girl. I love a good struggle."
Voice: "Then, you'll love me." Suddenly, something flew in and kicked Nappa in the face, sending him flying back. It was revealed to be me as a new alien. I was Kid Goku from GT but with a green tank top and black pants. The Omnitrix symbol was on my chest.
Nappa got up and looked at me. Then, he smirked.
Nappa: "That you, shapeshifter? You've become a Saiyan?"
Trey: "Like it? I call him Goku. Remember that name, it's the one that's gonna kick your ass back into space."
Nappa: "How dare you?! I am an elite Saiyan warrior! I will not be defeated by-"
Goku: "All I'm hearing is blah blah blah. Let's fight already." He charged at me, about to punch me. I caught his fist with one hand and twisted until I heard a snap. He went down to his knees, clutching his hand. I flip kicked him in the chin, launching him into the air, flew up and slammed him back to the ground. I flew down and floated in the air in front of him, smirking.
Nappa: "What are you smiling about?" I chuckled.
Goku: "Your nose is bleeding." He furiously wiped the blood off his nose. Then he powered up and charged at me, trying to hit me with a barrage of super fast punches. I blocked each one and countered with a punch of my own, hitting him every time. He tried to grab me but I blocked and hit him with a spin kick to the face, sending him flying away from me. I flew over to him and kicked him upward, then flew upward and somersault kicked him to the ground, causing a crater. I landed next to him and he tried to punch me, but I dodged and hit him hard in the stomach. He went to the ground.
Goku: "Wow, you really suck. How did I lose to you? Anyway, Kamehameha!" I fired a blue beam at him, completely obliterating him.
Goku: "Thanks for playing, Nappy. Better luck next time." A crowd gathered around me and started cheering.
Vicki Vale: "I'm so sorry for doubting you, Arsenal. You came to our need when we needed you."
Goku: "All in a day's work, citizen. See you guys later." I flew up and back to headquarters. The Omnitrix timed out and transformed me back to normal form. I went inside and everyone was waiting to congratulate me.
Ben: "Dude, that was amazing! Goku totally owns!" We fist bumped.
Logan: "I knew you could do it, bro." We low fived three times and saluted each other, which is our handshake.
Gwen: "I might have been wrong about you, Trey. You could do a lot of good." I smiled and nodded.
Gwen: "But you and Ben are still dweebs."
I laughed while Ben stuck his tongue out. Charity put her arms around my neck and kissed me. I put my arms around her waist and kissed back. After a while, we stopped.
Charity: "I'm glad you're okay, babes." We touched foreheads.
Trey: "You know me, Chare. I'm amazing." She playfully hit my arm.
Pierce: "Okay, hotshot, was impressive. But, we still have a lot of work to do."
Magister: "We'll let you continue your road trip as long as you agree to neutralize any threats you come across, especially Saiyan related threats." I nodded.
Trey: "Wouldn't have it any other way, boss man." Magister Lerman gave me a frequency to communicate with him through the Omnitrix and after that, we got on the RV and set off to our next destination.
The end.
