Back with Sandra

'this is really not my day' she thought she may not know this place at all but she was 100% sure of one thing, they were lost, that became obvious when they reached a dead end

"Blukic, I told you that we should have gone the other way" Driba said

"no you didn't" he replied

"yes I did"

"no you didn't" both Blukic and Sandra said in union making Driba hang his head while Sandra pinched the bridge of her nose for a minute

"okay then how about we retrace our steps" she suggested

"good idea" both Blukic and Driba said in union and they headed back the way they came.

On Psyphon's ship

After having a break, Dr. Psychobos as well as the doctors and technicians got back to work on Ben, after equipping rockets to the soles of Ben's feet they got to work on Ben's mouth, first they pulled out all of his top teeth and replaced them all with a substance that looked like clear purple putty. Every time the putty was put in a technician carefully carved it till it was razor sharp before shining UV-light on it instantly turning it solid and causing it to fuse with Ben's skull, while they were doing that the doctor that had removed Ben's jaw was carefully peeling away the skin and flesh off the jaw bone so he could make a completely accurate copy of it with Dr. Psychobos' Duranite. Once the jaw bone was defleshed a technician carefully moulded some Duranite into the exact shape of Ben's jaw, making it completely solid with some UV-light the doctor began to wrap the flesh around the Duranite jaw piece. Using a special laser he fully repaired any incisions he had made while the technicians finished putting the last Duranite tooth in the top of Ben's mouth, once all off the teeth were hardened they got to work at reattaching and modifying his new jaw.

The process took quite a while but they managed to reattach the new jaw piece "finally, now all we need to do is p-put the bottom teeth in his new j-jaw and coat the inside of his mouth and oesophagus with p-polymengas, then were done" Dr. Psychobos stated as he checked to see their work "now remember we have to make it so that his teeth will always lock together, we don't want him biting off his tongue" he said the doctors and technicians nodded and got to work on the final part. It took a bit longer than before to get his teeth correct but soon they were done. After coating the inside of Ben's mouth and oesophagus with polymengas, Dr. Psychobos began using the special laser that got rid of all of the cuts and incisions that they had made on Ben so now he looked like he had never had any surgery to his mouth.

The doors to the Medical Bay opened and Psyphon walked in "so is it finished" he asked

"yes everything was a c-complete success"

"so he'll obey every command Master and I will give him?"

"let's see" the doctors and technicians removed the restraints and anesthetic from Ben. About a minute later Ben's eyes opened and he sat up, looking around the Medical Bay a psychopathic bloodthirsty look appeared on his face

"why does he have that look on his face" Psyphon asked quietly while getting a shiver down his spine

"when we worked on his brain we blocked out every single emotion except for anger, rage, joy, and bloodlust"

Ben's cybernetic fingers then extended about a meter and they went razor thin before he swung his arm and sliced a doctor into 6 pieces. Everyone leapt back in fright at this "so in other words you made him a bloodthirsty psychopath who only desire is to kill and maim" Psyphon asked as he and Dr. Psychobos began backing away towards the door

"basically, yes" Dr. Psychobos said, now starting to realising the blunder of that action

Ben looked at his handy work before laughing maniacally, he then abruptly stopped and looked at the other doctors and technicians "die" he said and he began slicing them all up while also firing energy blasts from the new hole in the palm of his hand turning the pieces to ashes. Soon all of the doctors and technicians were dead, Ben looked at the bloody hunks of flesh on the floor and licked his lips before he started eating them while also sucking/licking the blood off of the floor. After 5 minutes of rapid eating he had consumed all of the doctors as well as their clothes, his face and hands were now covered in blood "mmm yummy" he said before he giggled and left the medical bay "I hope there's more people to kill on here" he said as he licked the blood off of his hands and he walked out of the medical bay.

Meanwhile

Psyphon and Dr. Psychobos had left the medical bay as soon as Ben had started killing the rest of the doctors and technicians and were now heading as fast as they could to the bridge "I think we just made the biggest mistake in history" Psyphon said

"what's this we stuff you're the one who decided to turn him into a weapon" Dr. Psychobos stated

"well I'm not the one who turned him into a psychopath" Psyphon snapped back angrily as crashes and explosions were heard behind them. They reached the bridge and Psyphon immediately gave the order to every drone on the ship to kill Ben Tennyson "I hope lord Vilgax will be okay with just having the Omnitrix" Psyphon said as all the drones on the ship began searching in masses for Ben.

"I highly doubt they'll b-be able to k-kill him, we should get to the escape pods now" Dr. Psychobos stated

"you're right those drones will only buy us enough time to get there, let's go" Psyphon said and the two left the bridge.

With Ben

Ben had been using his new blaster, sword fingers, and enhanced strength to start tearing the whole ship apart he had encountered a few drones and had ether sliced/blew them up or eaten them. As he turned a corner he found himself standing in front of a mass of drones, Ben activated his Omnitrix and pressed it down turning into "XLR8!" he then zipped through the mass and appeared on the other side "bang" he said before they all fell to pieces he then ran off to find more drones. After encountering and destroying another mass of drones the Omnitrix timed out and XLR8 turned back into Ben, Ben growled angrily at this and began walking through the halls. He soon arrived at a large door and using his cybernetic arm he burst through it in 3 punches, when he entered he saw two huge machines the biggest one was humming loudly while the other one had a glowing glass tube in the centre. Ben looked at his Omnitrix and saw that it was now glowing green again activating it he selected the right alien and pressed it down turning into "Four Arms!" he shouted before he ran and leapt onto the giant humming machine before he began tearing it apart. After tearing some wires out there were a lot of bangs and pops coming from inside it followed by the humming coming to a stop, Four Arms then leapt from the machine, which just so happened to be the ships engine, and then smashed through the one with the glowing tube, which happened to be the ships power core, almost immediately the room was bathed in darkness.

With Psyphon and Dr. Psychobos

As they ran down the halls they saw heaps of destroyed drones scattered throughout them, the walls were also ether dented, torn/broken off, or had charred holes through them. as they rounded a corner the stopped dead in their tracks as they saw that the only way to the escape pods was blocked by a collapsed roof and walls "we're dead" Psyphon said before the humming from the engines stopped which was shortly followed by the lights going out

"I concur" Dr. Psychobos said before explosions were heard "well on the b-bright side at least he'll kill himself in the p-process" the lights then came back on as the generators kicked in

"wait you said he'll obey every command lord Vilgax and I give him right?"

"well to be honest I'm not so sure anymore" Psyphon took a deep breath and sighed

"lets just try and find him" and they began searching for the monster they created.

As they searched the ship they found destruction and destroyed drones everywhere, they could hear more explosions getting louder and louder until the turned the corner and saw a mass of drones had cornered Ben in a dead end. Activating his Omnitrix he turned into Heatblast, sticking both hands out they began to glow brighter "fry" he said, Psyphon and Dr. Psychobos ran back around the corner just in time to avoid a wall of flames. Once the flames had stopped they looked around the corner and saw that the ground was now covered in a black goo which used to be the drones. Heatblast was now pointing and laughing at the goo, but stopped as he spotted two others, he then began laughing dementedly before putting both hands at his sides he blasted forward over the black puddle. When he landed he turned around ready to kill his next target but stopped when he saw who it was, Psyphon opened his eyes to see Heatblast now kneeling before him "master" he muttered out which made Psyphon relax a bit "stand up" Psyphon ordered, Heatblast did so "follow us to the bridge" he said and the three of them walked to the bridge of Psyphon's now destroyed ship.

By the time they arrived at the bridge the Omnitrix had timed out and Ben was now back to normal "Dr. Psychobos, check to see how many drones we have left while I assess the damage" Psyphon said

after a bit of scanning Dr. Psychobos had his answer "bad news Psyphon there are no more working drones aboard your ship"

"great and on top of that our weapons and defences are ether off line or destroyed, our engine has been destroyed, and we have 5 hull breaches, the only reason we're still moving at the moment is because of the ships momentum"

"well our s-scanners show that there's no big obstacles in our way and I s-should be able to fix the engines by the t-time we reach Vilgaxia to allow us to land"

Psyphon turned to Ben "clean and fix the ship" he ordered, Ben bowed and then activated his now glowing green Omnitrix and turned into XLR8 before zipping out of the bridge. "I have a feeling the next few days are going to be hell" Psyphon muttered to himself while Dr. Psychobos scuttled up to him

"I sincerely hope lord Vilgax will be p-pleased with my work" he stated as he rubbed his claws together

"I don't normally say this but from what I've just seen; you have done an exceptional job...of creating a monster" Psyphon said before he grabbed Dr. Psychobos "that mind control device of yours had better not be faulty otherwise we're all dead"

"not to worry I have made sure that it will constantly work 100%" Dr. Psychobos stated, Psyphon then let go of him and watched as he scuttled off towards the engine room to begin repairs.

Plumber HQ

Max arrived at the base having heard that a code red 2.0 had been called seeing that there was now hardly anyone at the base Max made his way to the main console where he found the recently appointed cadet Molly Gunther monitoring the screen "Molly I heard that a code red 2.0 was called, is this true" he asked as Molly stood up and saluted

"yes Magister Tennyson sir someone has kidnapped your grandson and is now on a direct coarse with Vilgaxia, 10 ships have been sent out to retrieve him with Magister Patelliday going with them" she explained

"damn it!" Max said and he slammed his fist on the console 'if he gets his hands on the Omnitrix the entire universe is doomed' he thought angrily his thoughts were interrupted by a whoosh noise behind him, he turned around and saw a very angry looking Sandra

"look thanks to you Blukic we're now right back where we started" Driba said

"was no-"

"ENOUGH!" Sandra shouted as she grabbed the two Galvan's off her shoulders "I would have been better off finding my way out myself than let you two guide me!" she snapped at them, she then saw Max and walked over to him "here take these things and tell me where I parked my car it's in the same place you drove your RV into the other day" she said as she shoved Blukic and Driba in Max's hand

"3 floors down and head right" Max replied she then marched back into the elevator and pressed the right button before the doors closed behind her

"wow she really has a temper" Blukic said

"well after listening to you two for 6 hours and 28 minutes I'm sure anyone would have a temper" Molly said

"I'll speak with you two later" Max said to the two Galvan's before placing them down

"Magister Tennyson, if I may make a suggestion" Molly asked

"anything" Max replied

"why don't you get some Plumber's closer to Vilgaxia to intercept the vessel" she suggested

"that's brilliant" he said before thinking "put me on to Base T-24" Molly typed on the console and soon the face of a red skinned alien with massive eyes that were completely blue and a huge mouth appeared on the screen

"Magister Tennyson, to what do I owe the honour of this call?" He asked

"it's a code red 2.0" Max said, the aliens eyes widened slightly

"and I take it that the capturer is in this area"

"yes they're on a direct coarse with Vilgaxia and should pass by your base within the next 30 hours"

"right we'll be there and waiting Zazz out" he said and the screen went blank.

Max gave a sigh of slight relief "do you want me to contact other bases and tell them to keep a look out?" Molly asked

"please" Max said before he turned to Blukic and Driba "as for you two, you've got some explaining to do" he said firmly.

The next day

It had taken Ben over a whole day to clean up the mess he had made during his rampage of Psyphon's ship, once he had gathered up all of the destroyed droids and any other mess he had made and put it all in the cargo hold, once he was sure everything was cleaned up he firmly grabbed onto a pipe and opened up the cargo hatch. He began laughing as he watched the whole mess be sucked out into space once it was empty he closed it up and the air returned, once it had he left the cargo hold and began searching for his master. He soon found his master and the giant talking crab in the engine room "this is hopeless, there is absolutely no way I'll be able to f-fix this, that little monster just wrecked it too much" Dr. Psychobos stated Ben's eyes narrowed at this, he knew the giant crab was talking about him.

"I have cleaned and repaired what I could master" Ben said as he walked over to the two and kneeled before Psyphon "do you want me to kill him master?" he asked

"no, I don't want you to kill him" Psyphon ordered

"as you command" Ben said with a bow

"hmm now that you've cleaned up the mess you made what to do with you for the next few days" Psyphon said to himself

"why don't you just stay in the cargo hold" Dr. Psychobos said, the next thing he knew he was being crushed between the destroyed engine and Ben's cybernetic hand, Dr. Psychobos began to shake in fright as Ben's psychopathic stare pierced right through him

"never. tell me. What. to do" he said

"s-s-syf-f-fon, h-help" Dr. Psychobos strained out as he could feel his shell beginning to crack

"let him go Ben" Psyphon ordered, Ben instantly let Dr. Psychobos go before kicking him in the side sending him flying and crashing into a wall where he fell unconscious. Ben began laughing dementedly again as he pointed at the downed doctor "come Ben, let's try and make you look slightly more presentable for our master" Psyphon said as Ben kept laughing but followed Psyphon.

After a bit of searching Psyphon had given Ben a new wardrobe which consisted of black spandex-like pants, a black vest with a skull pattern on the back, and a metal gauntlet with two blades on it for his right hand "I must say you look sharp kid" he said

"thank you master" he said as he looked at his reflection in the blades.

Suddenly the whole ship rocked violently which was followed by explosions "what the name of Vilgax was that?!" Psyphon exclaimed

"we are under attack by Plumber ships" Ben replied in a monotone Psyphon gave a evil smile before he grabbed what looked like a giant bubble which the then put on Ben's head "why don't you go out there and show them all the new Ben Tennyson and as long as you wear that bubble on your head you'll be able to breathe in space" Psyphon said, Ben laughed maniacally before he activated the rockets in his feet and flew off towards the air lock.

Plumber Ship 1

"Remember don't destroy it just disable it" Zazz ordered not realising that the ships engines weren't on

"right sir" the Plumber at the controls said as he finally managed to take out one of the engines while another two ships tried to take out the other ones suddenly the Plumber saw something exit through the top of the ship which was soon followed by a green flash, the next thing they knew a Petrosapien wearing a uniform that was black on the right half and white on the left with a black patch on the left shoulder topped off with a bubble helmet was now on the front of their ship he reared an arm back and punched a hole through the glass letting all of the air being sucked out of the ship, due to Zazz not wearing a helmet at the time began to suffocate he went to reach for a helmet only to have the helmet get covered in green crystal, turning he saw the Petrosapien wagging his index finger back and forth as he did Zazz saw the Omnitrix symbol on the black patch as if reading his mind Diamondhead nodded.

Diamondhead then impaled Zazz through the chest with a large crystal pinning him to the back of the ship. Diamondhead then turned around and fired multiple crystals from his finger tips which ripped the Plumber at the controls to shreds, then pressing the self-destruct button he leapt out the broken window and there was a brief flash, turning around Diamondhead watched the remains of the ship now just floating about aimlessly in space. Diamondhead then began laughing maniacally while pointing to the debris of the ship, he then quickly turned his arms into two large shields which began deflecting the plasma blasts coming from the two ships "heh, heh, heh dumb dumbs" Diamondhead said. As soon as the two ships changed course so as to not hit into each other, Diamondhead threw the two shields at one of the ships slicing off both of its wings which sent it spiralling out of control back towards the planet it had come from "one to go" he said as the last ship came back to start firing again, having not seen what had happened to the second ship, the last ship began firing at Diamondhead again but this time Diamondhead formed a massive pointed crystal above his head before he threw it at the ship.

The ship turned to the side to avoid the crystal but unfortunately it had both engines ripped off in the process leaving it dead in space, Diamondhead was about to finish it off before the Omnitrix flashed and he turned back to normal. Looking at his now normal body he gave a large yell of rage and he fired a beam of energy at the ship, making a hole in it and turning it into debris in a flash. Ben pause for a bit and then began snickering evilly at his handy work before he headed back to the ship.

Psyphon had been watching the whole thing "an excellent field test, unfortunately we're still engineless and landing will be impossible"

"ugh what are you complaining about" Dr. Psychobos asked as he scuttled into the bridge where Psyphon was

"well you're quick to recover I was saying that because our engines are now officially destroyed landing will be impossible now" Psyphon said

"perhaps I may be of assistance master?" Ben said as he kneeled before Psyphon

"and what can you do?" Psyphon asked, the Omnitrix symbol turned green and he activated it turning to the right alien he pressed it down and in a flash he became "a Galvanic Mechamorph?" Psyphon said before Upgrade merged with the ship making it sleeker with wings that had two large jets on each wing a now pointed nose and a huge jet on the rear, the insides of the jets began to glow green before the newly modified ship shot forward. Psyphon and Dr. Psychobos were thrown straight to the back wall and were pinned up to it by about 7G of force. Psyphon managed to look at the monitor and saw how fast they were approaching Vilgaxia "Psyphon get him to slow down" Dr. Psychobos said

"but if we keep this speed up we'll reach Vilgaxia in 10 minutes"

"we'll both be pancakes in 10 minutes"

"fine, Ben slow down" Psyphon ordered the force on them quickly began to lessen until they were finally able to stand properly. Upgrade's head rose up from the floor in front of Psyphon "is this more to your liking master" Upgrade asked "much" Psyphon said, Upgrade's head then sunk back down and the ship continued heading towards Vilgaxia.

About 10 minutes later Upgrade retracted back to his Galvanic Mechamorph form as a beeping was heard before he changed back into Ben "I hope that you are pleased with what I have done" he said as he kneeled in front of Psyphon

"indeed you have, thanks to that massive speed boost we should reach Vilgaxia much sooner than expected" Psyphon said, he then turned to a Dr. Psychobos "contact lord Vilgax and inform him we should be back within 2 hours" Psyphon ordered, Dr. Psychobos nodded and began to follow his order "Ben when we arrive in Vilgaxia's orbit I want you to turn back into a Galvanic Mechamorph and merge with the ship to land it safely" he ordered Ben rose and then bowed.

2 hours later

Vilgax was waiting at the docking bay for Psyphon's ship to arrive, soon he saw a ship in appear in the sky before coming down slowly and landed gently in front of him. He had never seen this kind of ship before and was curious as to who owned it, he then watched in surprise as the black and green pattern retracted revealing Psyphon's damaged ship. After a bit of waiting he watched as the cargo bay door opened and Psyphon exited along with a figure that looked semi-familiar and then the new head doctor/technician that had gone with Psyphon but also surprisingly no one else came out "my lord may I present to you your new weapon and minion Benjamin Tennyson" Psyphon said while Ben kneeled down

"how may I assist you master?" Ben asked

"he's 100% loyal and will do anything you or I say" Psyphon said

"anything you say?" Vilgax questioned

"with all due respect my lord, if he wasn't modified to follow my commands as well he would have most likely killed Dr. Psychobos and I as well as destroyed the entire ship" Psyphon explained

that statement made Vilgax's eyes narrow "as well? Are you saying that he killed others?"

"all of the doctors, technicians, and drones"

Vilgax growled "brief me on what fully happened later" he then looked at Ben "Tennyson, demonstrate to me what you're now capable of without using your Omnitrix" Vilgax ordered, Ben stood up and nodded. He walked over to some of Vilgax's drones that were just standing like targets waiting to be shot at, he raised his cybernetic arm and a glowing red ball appeared in his hand the ball rapidly grew in size before it pressed up against the drone and detonating, the aftershock from the energy blast sent everyone, except Vilgax, flying back as the wave rapidly grew in size. Once it stopped Vilgax unshielded his eyes and was left in complete awe not only had the drones been destroyed but half of the docking bay and the entire mountain that had been behind it

Ben turned his head to face Vilgax and now had a dark look on his face "does this please you master?" he asked

Vilgax turned around and saw Psyphon and Dr. Psychobos pulling themselves out of a pile of rubble "ugh did anyone get the number of that star ship?" Psyphon asked while holding his head he then walked/ stumbled up to Vilgax "so master are you pleased at what we've accomplished?" he asked, Vilgax looked back and forth between Ben and Psyphon before an evil smile appeared on his face "yes" he said before he began laughing to which Ben joined in only his laugh was more psychotic.
