Kyle 10 VS Omnitrix the First
By DriveMaxUltraDynamoZord and Omnitrix1
Chapter 9: All the Bad Shit Happens
As the light faded and Kyle and Omni's visions returned, both boys realized that they were no longer trapped inside Eon's bubbles. In fact they weren't even in the same room as before. Instead, it appeared that they were in... What looked like a factory. There were black pillars strewn about all over the room like looked a bit like coils, and on the far wall there was a strange device. It was shaped like a circle with strange runes written on it, and at the center of the circle was a grey stone that seemed to emit a soft hum.
Omni and Kyle then noticed that they weren't alone in this room. Tied to the coils were three people. One was an old man wearing a Hawaiian shirt, blue pants, and cap that said "Bellwood Plumbing" on it. Next to him was a young girl who appeared to be ten. She had short auburn hair, wore a white t-shirt under a brown sleeveless shirt, a pair of jeans, and sneakers. Finally, the last person tied to a coil was a ten year old boy. He had brown hair, wore a white shirt with a black stripe running down the middle, a pair of jeans, and a pair of white and black sneakers. However, the one thing that stood out for Omni about this boy was what was on his wrist; it was an Omnitrix, the way it looked when he and Kyle first found theirs.
Omni: "What the? Who are these people?"
Meanwhile, Kyle was shocked at seeing these three.
Kyle: "Omni... these guys are Ben and Gwen when they were younger! And the old guy's their Grandpa Max!" He hadn't seen Max in what felt like ages, and as far as he knew, Max blew himself to Kingdom Come to stop a HighBreed factory from taking off in producing Xenocytes. Either way, he knew he had to save them. He went to try and release them from the pillars, but to no avail.
Kyle: "Come on... rip apart already!" Kyle had just the noticed the Omnitrix on Ben's wrist, and stopped.
Kyle: "Whoa. This must be the other Ben that stopped him before, then. Like Paradox said." He was stunned. The classic retro Omnitrix on Ben's wrist. He hadn't seen that in about five years, since before he transferred to their universe and took the Omnitrix on accident.
Omni was about to run to Ben's side to free him, when suddenly a fourth figure caught his eye. Omni and Kyle looked to see who this guy was and when they were able to make out his appearance, their faces contorted in anger; it was Eon.
Omni and Kyle: "Eon!" Then, in anger, both boys rushed at the Chronian, intent on hurting him. However, when they punched him, instead of hurting him, they passed right through him and fell to the ground.
Omni: "Huh?"
Omni and Kyle got up from the floor, surprised by what just happened.
Omni: "What the heck?"
Kyle: "Wait... How did that happen?" He was considering what may be going on, then a thought came to him.
Kyle: "Omni, do you think that he's projecting something to us? Like how Clockwork can do that?" It's true. He figured out Clockwork can replay past events for future viewing easily, like when he had to rescue Cooper.
Omni: "Then all of this isn't real. This is just a vision of the past." Both boys then looked over the Eon, who seemed to be in the middle of talking to Ben.
Eon: "It's my DNA that will be released from the Omnitrix. I am the alien life-form that will soon overwhelm you. You... ARE me, Benjamin."
Ben: "No, you're lying!" Just then, Eon seemed to stagger, like he was short of breath, before he regained his composure.
Eon: "My time... Is almost over. But I will be reborn in you. And our great strength will power the Hands of Armageddon, and open a time rift to my dying world, bringing an end to yours!"
Omni: "Kyle, do you know what's happening here?"
Kyle: "The Eon I killed tried to do the same thing to me. He wanted to make me a younger version of him to resurrect his race, but it's how I can become Timesplitter now." He thought again.
Kyle: "But what does showing us this have to do with our realities? Is the Eon we're fighting this Eon that's trying to make Ben transform into him?" It sounded pretty likely. Or this could be the origin of how every Eon across the planes of all reality was created.
Omni: "It must be, or else why show us this? Like you said it has nothing to do with our worlds."
Both boys focused their attention on the images before them and saw that Eon was fiddling with Ben's Omnitrix, except that instead of the dial being green, it was now purple. Gradually, Eon's silhouette appeared on the dial, before the aforementioned Chronian pressed it in, causing the Omnitrix to glow a purple light.
Gwen: "No!" Omni and Kyle watched as Ben struggled in vain to resist the transformation, before his form twisted and morphed into that of the transformation that Kyle and Omni knew.
Eon (voice only): "I came to my past to save my people. I thought my former self would understand... But I was wrong..."
Suddenly the image changed. It was still the same room, but now the strange artifact was glowing while Max seemed to be feeding energy into it via two cables. Meanwhile, at the other end of the room, a group of people in black (the boys assumed they were Eon's minions) had surrounded a small group of people, while Ben had Gwen cornered, ready to blast her. However, he seemed conflicted as for some reason he could not form an energy orb.
Then, he cried out as he staggered back, seeming to fight back against whatever had taken him. Then, after he stopped struggling, he looked to Gwen and formed an energy orb. Kyle and Omni almost ran forward to try and stop him, but before they could take a step, Ben sent out multiple blasts of energy at Eon's minions, causing them to vanish from existence.
Eon (voice): "I offered him power, the chance to be a God! But he threw that chance away and left my people to die!"
Kyle: "I get that you're angry because Ben let your race die and he's supposed to be a hero! But you were going to commit genocide, bro! Not cool!" Kyle's fangs began to fully take form, and his aura also reappeared, forcing his Ultimatrix to seep into his skin, and he got on all fours, growing a tail out of the aura. Kyle was ready to tear Eon apart for what he thought was an absolutely shallow reason.
Kyle: "BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO TAKE YOUR ANGER OUT ON OUR REALITIES, TOO! YOU'LL CAUSE SO MUCH MORE DESTRUCTION TO THE FABRIC OF EXISTENCE!" Kyle growled, and it was slowly getting louder.
Omni: "Kyle!"
Immediately the image changed again, except now every figure was now frozen in various positions, save for Eon and Ben as Wildmutt.
Eon (voice): "But not only did he let my race die-" As Eon narrated, Omni and Kyle watched Ben smack Eon with the frozen form of his cousin, causing him to fly back into the artifact, causing it to explode with Eon in it.
Eon: "But he tried to destroy me."
Omni: "You were ready to let his world die!"
Eon: "So that mine would live on! However, instead of killing me like he had hoped, I was simply cast into the multiverse. And all I wanted then, was revenge."
Suddenly, the area was covered in another blinding light, and Omni and Kyle found themselves in a gorge. Within, there were several figures fighting off several of Eon's minions. Omni and Kyle recognized three of the figures to be Ben, Gwen, and Kevin (though Ali and Kayla were strangely absent) while the fourth figure appeared to be a grown man. He had brown hair and a brown beard, a white shirt, green pants, army boots, and on his chest was an evolved Ultimatrix symbol.
Eon: "I traversed across the multiverse, absorbing every incarnation of my former self I found, and making their powers mine. My revenge was going splendidly... That is, 'till I arrived in this reality."
Kyle: "I'm betting it was because this Ben kicked your butt!" He turned his head in multiple directions, hoping to see Eon suddenly appear, but he did not. His fangs were now fully developed, and he was beginning to lose his patience. He did realize however, since he killed the Eon in his universe, he believed he did anyway, that should have thwarted his plans in his universe as well.
Eon was silent at that, but Omni and Kyle knew very well that the remark had gotten to him. However, they heard what sounded like an energy wave and looked to see the cause. They saw Gwen and Kevin surrounded by Eon's minions and saw that Gwen had released a wave of energy that froze them all in place. Then, Gwen walked up to the nearest minion and removed his helmet and what she saw shocked the group, the minion looked exactly like Ben
Eon: "You've discovered our secret." Omni and Kyle looked to see Eon walk up to the group, though he seemed different then the last image they saw.
Ultimatrix Guy: "You're not destroying Ben Tennysons, you're absorbing them."
Eon: "I feed on their power and make them my slaves. Soon I will have absorbed enough energy to destroy every timeline," Then before continuing, Eon removed his helmet, revealing the same face as the Ultimatrix Guy, "So that I will be the only Ben Tennyson."
Omni: "Well, that's a twist."
Kyle witnessed that, and felt very cold inside.
Kyle: "Have... Have I killed Ben's in other timelines when I fought my Eon before? I don't remember outright doing it, but this is just... it's kinda creepy, Omni." He visibly shook, and hugged himself as if he were cold. His aura tail even wrapped around his waist. He couldn't believe himself.
Kyle: "Wait. Eon. The one of you I fought... his minions were just other Chronians, right?" He immediately began to feel different about his acts from before. Omni saw Kyle's reaction and went over to him and grabbed his shoulders tightly.
Omni: "Kyle, calm down. The Eon you fought and this Eon aren't the same person." Omni then grabbed Kyle's face and looked into his eyes, "You didn't hurt Ben. In any timeline."
Omni's words made Kyle calm down. The aura's intensity faded slightly.
Kyle: "Th-thanks, Omni." He felt calm again, and let himself veg out a bit.
Kyle: "You're a pretty swell guy. I can see why your Azmuth's cool with you having his Omnitrix. Man... I could learn a lot from you, bro." He truly felt Omni was a better hero now, but he still had a few tricks up his sleeves to show Eon if he could.
Omni (with a small smile): "Thanks Kyle..."
Eon: "NO!" Omni and Kyle were startled by the sudden cry and looked to see the cause. They watched as what appeared to be Jetray blasted his nueroshock lasers at, surprisingly enough, the Hands of Armageddon. They watched as Eon kept blasting at him to make him stop, but he kept missing. Finally, with one final blast, the Hands were destroyed.
Then, with a look of horror, Eon glowed with purple energy, and was destroyed alongside the Hands.
Eon (voice): "The child defeated me again! With the destruction of the Hands across time, the tether that had connected me to those other worlds was destroyed, and every Ben Tennyson I captured was freed."
Then, there was another flash of light, and Omni and Kyle found themselves in the Parking Lot for Mr. Smoothie. However in the middle of the lot was what looked like a temporal rift. On one side was what appeared to be a younger Ben and Gwen much like the versions the boys saw in the first vision, and on the other side was what looked Ben, Gwen, and a Black and White alien dressed in blue. And in the middle of the rip was Eon.
Eon: "So, if I could not have my revenge, then I would have time itself!"
Kyle gave some thoughts to this. He did not immediately recognize the black and white alien, but Ben's new shirt was interesting. He supposed both Bens had to fight this Eon before.
Kyle: "And I bet you were pretty mad, knowing you. Or, at least an alternate version of you. Close enough. What are you going to show us here? The time when you were defeated last?"
Eon: "Unfortunately... Yes." Eon spoke the last word slowly and with a low voice, like he was ashamed by what he was admitting too, but he continued explaining like nothing was wrong.
Eon: "I managed to make my way back into this Tennyson's timeline. If I wanted to control time, then I would need the Time Walker's Chronal-Navigator. And what better way to get his attention then through Tennyson? I altered his timeline and the Time Walker came running. It took time, but I finally obtained the Chronal-Navigator... But I underestimated its power. I stretched time to its limit and soon all time itself would have been torn asunder. It would been the most glorious revenge... But..."
Just then, the Bens on both sides of the rift activated their Omnitrixes and transformed into their own individual versions of Clockwork. Then, they both blasted Eon with their energy and, with a cry of pain, the entire environment flashed out of existence. There was no more Bens, no Mr. Smoothie, there was nothing. Just an empty blackness and Eon, on his knees. He immediately looked up and Kyle and Omni could see he was furious. He looked around the area and seemed to get angrier. He then stood up and held out his arm, as if expecting something to happen; but nothing did.
Eon looked confused and tried it again; still nothing. He tried again and again to make something happen, but with each failed attempt, he just got angrier and angrier 'till finally, he clenched his hands into fists and screamed.
Eon: "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Then, the area was surrounded in another flash of light and the next thing Kyle and Omni knew, they were right back in the castle room, still suspended in purple orbs with Eon standing right in front of them.
Omni: "You didn't set up your base in this void, you were sent here by that alternate Ben."
Kyle: "And you're taking it out on US?!" He growled deeply, and his aura flared. He sprouted two more tails out of his aura. The bubble around him was beginning to shake. Kyle's features were becoming more bestial and feral.
Kurama (in Kyle's head): 'Yes. Let your rage grow...'
Kyle (thinking): 'I'm just mad at what he said!' His canine teeth grew into fangs, his lips turned black, claws grew out of his fingers and toes, making his toe claws pierced through his black tennis shoes. His hoodie tore off in the power burst he had.
Omni (whispering): "What the heck?"
Eon just lightly chuckled at Kyle's assumption and continued.
Eon: "In a way, I suppose I am taking it out on your worlds. You see, when Tennyson trapped me here, I discovered that my powers had changed. I could no longer travel through time or re-enter the multiverse, because neither time nor space existed here. However, while I could not enter other worlds, I discovered I could view them."
Eon then waved his hand and suddenly Kyle and Omni were surrounded by various images, each one showing... What looked like different wielders of the Omnitrix. Most of the figures resembled Ben, though they were clearly not the ones Kyle and Omni were familiar with. One Ben looked like he was rich, with a blue and gold Omnitrix on his wrist, while another Ben looked like he came from a wasteland.
But, it wasn't just Ben; some of the images seemed to depict different versions of Omni and Kyle as well. One Omni seemed to be wearing a green robe with a disturbing smile on his face, while another wore a gray hoodie with a scowl on his face and a leash in his hand which led to someone in the background in a fetal position. There was a younger Kyle there, brandishing a recalibrated Omnitrix, though the figures behind him weren't his regular friends, but rather a teenage girl in purple and a man with skull make-up, and another Kyle there looked very similar to Sora from KH2, save for his blond hair and the Ultimatrix on his wrist.
Kyle: "Is that me as Sora from Kingdom Hearts 2?!" That astounded him more than anything. His rage quelled for a moment.
Kurama (in Kyle's head): 'Like that's the most important thing right now. He is trying to destroy all of the realities.'
Kyle (thinking): 'I know that... but that Kingdom Hearts one is interesting. I guess Galvans exist in that universe.' Then he looked at Eon.
Kyle: "This is interesting and all, and all of these other realities have an Omnitrix bearer in some form... But what does this have to do with your plan?! You're going to destroy all of the uses or some shit like that?!"
Eon: "No, not all of them. Just two." Suddenly all of the images dispersed, leaving two behind. One image showed Kyle in his apartment, sleeping next to Ali, while the other showed Omni sleeping at a computer terminal in his warehouse.
Eon: "While I searched through the multiverse, I found two realities that interested me. (looks to Kyle) A world where Tennyson was inexperienced with the Omnitrix and the true wielder only faced a possible me. (looks to Omni) And a world where Tennyson never existed and I was nothing more than a transformation. (looks at both) Two worlds where Tennyson couldn't touch me and where those worlds' Omnitrix bearers had little experience against me. Immediately, I saw an opportunity, and I took advantage of it."
Omni and Kyle then watched as they saw their watches in the images start to glow purple before they both exploded in light, revealing that they had now swapped places.
Eon: "It was a rather simple task if one knew the Omnitrix as intimately as I do."
Omni: "So you swapped us around knowing our realities would be drawn to us and then destroy each other. How does that benefit you?"
Then, Eon smiled under his helmet, almost like he was waiting for that question.
Eon: "Do you know what happens when a reality dies? It leaves a hole in the multiverse... A gap where that reality once inhabited. It doesn't stay open for long, merely a few seconds before it gets sealed up. But a few seconds is all I need."
Omni and Kyle were quiet for a second, both starting to realize Eon's plan.
Omni (quietly): "To do what?"
Eon (whisper): "To escape. (louder) When both of your worlds are destroyed, a hole will open in the multiverse, linking all of time itself to this void. And when that happens, I shall finally be able to escape this prison and reenter the multiverse; and when I am free again, I shall finally be able to have my revenge on the accursed child who imprisoned me in this void, Ben Tennyson!"
The casualties would be catastrophic! And all of this JUST to get back at Ben! Not even his Ben either! Kyle began to growl again.
Kyle: "No..." His eyes turned completely red, and his skin began to peel off like paper.
Kurama (In Kyle's head): 'Yes. Give me control.' Kurama had begun to take ahold over Kyle now.
Kyle: "I won't let you... do this..." His aura began to slowly sprout a fourth tail. By now, his clothes began to burn away as well. His claws and fangs grew larger, and the bubble he was in began to shake uncontrollably.
Kyle: "I WON'T LET YOU WIN! RAAAAGGGHHHH!" The energy around him quickly formed into a blood-colored sphere that was boiling hot, and Eon's bubble around him began to rupture. The bubble slowly gravitated towards the ground, and even the air in the immediate area began to feel heavier.
Omni (whispering): "My God..."
Eon looked shocked at this development. He began to back away as the bubble holding Kyle lowered to the ground and its surface rippled with energy.
Eon: "What- What is this?!"
Then once the bubble hit the ground, it exploded, revealing a blood red figure with four tails, spiked hair, two fox ear-shaped protrusions growing out of the sides of its head, with human like hands and feet, which had claws instead of nails, and it's face was almost built like a Jack-O-Lantern's, but had a Shadow Heartless' eyes.
Kurama: "You thought that measly time bubble would contain me, Eon? The strongest being in Kyle Tennyson's universe?! HAHAHAHAHA! INSIGNIFICANT WORM!" Kurama then stretched and enlarged his right arm at the same time to attempt to pin Eon to the wall.
Eon managed to teleport out of the way of Kurama's fist, but when he reappeared Kurama turned his way and backhanded him into a wall.
Eon (groaning): "Urgh. (looks up at Kurama) "What... What is this creature?!"
Kurama: "What am I?" He laughed a demonic, distorted sounding laugh.
Kurama: "If you looked deeply enough into Kyle Tennyson's history... you would have known, wouldn't you? But I'll give you a brief summary. I am... HIS... WORST... NIGHTMARE!" He jumped at Eon, enlarging both of his fists, and he prepared to slam Eon even harder. He roared as he did so.
Eon managed to create a shield to block Kurama's fists, but the force from their impact caused the ground beneath Eon to break a little and make a crater where he stood.
Eon (strained): "Whatever this... Creature is 'Tennyson,' it will not defeat me!"
Kurama: "'Tennyson' isn't here right now, Eon. It's only me. KURAMA!" He roared, creating a shockwave, and raised one of his hands above his head. He was creating an energy sphere in it, and it was forming into a massive windmill shuriken.
Kurama: "Trust me, Eon. You will not make it out of here alive."
Eon scowled and lowered his shield. He then brought out his energy blade and rushed at Kurama, intent on slicing him to pieces. Kurama laughed, and threw the shuriken at Eon now.
Kurama: "A FUTILE EFFORT, EON! You will fail!" He got to all fours, preparing to dodge if the shuriken attack failed. Eon brought his blade forward to try and slice the Shuriken. However, instead of slicing the Shuriken, the recoil sent the Shuriken flying while pushing Eon back a couple feet or so.
Eon (angrily): "You dare mock me child?!" Eon then coated his other hand in time energy and released a blast of energy at Kurama.
Kurama: "Child?!" He took the time blast, getting blasted into the wall, but walked out slowly as his skin was regenerating from the aging effects.
Kurama: "I AM NOT KYLE TENNYSON!" He charged at Eon, roaring bloody murder, preparing to slice his gut with his claws.
Kurama: "WHEN WILL YOU GET THAT THROUGH YOUR SKULL YOU WORTHLESS TWAT?!"
Eon couldn't believe it; Kurama just shrugged off his attack like it was nothing. But... He should be dust now. He should be-
Eon refocused just in time to avoid Kurama's slash, but Kurama managed to hit the wall that was behind him. The attack took an entire chunk out of the wall.
But Kurama didn't just stop, he continued trying to slice up Eon, and each attack came at frightening speed. Eon barely had enough time to avoid each slash. Kurama growled, then roared, stretching out both of his claws at Eon. To add on to this, his arms split into multiple arm constructs with claws as well, and all of them flew for Eon at the same time.
Kurama: "Try to dodge this, time-user..." He grinned evilly as this was stated, and snickered to himself.
Eon managed to teleport out of the way of Kurama's arms before reappearing behind him and getting ready to stab him with his energy blade.
Omni: "KYLE!"
Kurama: "Hmph." He dodged out of the way, then punched Eon into a wall.
Kurama: "I'd say it is about time I pumped it up." He slowly begun to grow more tails, and bony constructs grew out of his back and his limbs that were beginning to resemble a fox's skeleton. After he was finished, he had a fox's skull around his head and jaw, bony arms on top of his real arms, a spine over his back, and rear legs over his legs. He now had six tails.
Kurama: "I have unlocked more of that seal. NOW to finish you!" He quickly begun to charge an energy ball in the jaws of the fox skull, aiming at the pinned Eon.
Omni: "NO!" Omni started banging against the bubble as hard as he could. But no matter how hard he hit, the only thing he accomplished was rippling the surface. His hand then flew to the Omnitrix, but instead of seeing his aliens, it showed a triangle with an exclamation point.
Omni: "DAMMIT! Come on, you stupid watch!"
Kurama: "Been quite a 'time', Eon. Please die." Kurama's blast hit its maximum charge, and while quickly whipping back his arm, shot the laser. It was an orange colored maelstrom of hell. It brimmed fire, and made quite the rattling 'WOOOOOOMMMMM' noise as it flew. It only took seconds for it to hit Eon, vaporizing him instantly, and freeing Omni from his time bubble.
Kurama: "Heh heh heh... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Kurama had broken out into megalomaniacal laughter, with a sinister smile on his face, then turned to look at Omni.
Kurama: "So, boy. What can you do? Will you be as boring as Eon?" He grinned sadistically.
Omni stood there, horrified by what he just saw. He looked to the where Eon once stood and back to Kurama, who was smiling at him. Omni's hands clenched into fists and he glared right into Kurama's eyes.
Omni: "My name is Omnitrix the First, Kurama. And as the leader of the Omnitrix Guardians, I order you to release my friend, NOW!"
Kurama: "Omnitrix the First... of the Omnitrix Guardians? Never heard of you. And as for Kyle... he's not going to be coming back. Not this time. I appear when he starts diving into his anger. Once he's too far in, I take over. Simple deal. And I don't see the ones who can free him here right now. It will not matter anyway. By the time they get here, I will be at full power, and destroy both your reality, and theirs. But first, I would not mind having fun against you." He yet again grinned sadistically.
Omni clenched his teeth in anger, and, as if on cue, his Omnitrix let out a beep to let him know it was working again.
Omni (furious): "I'm not going to repeat myself Kurama!" Omni then brought the Omnitrix up and started selecting his alien, "Release Kyle Tennyson now," Omni then selected an alien, and one green flash later, Omni had taken the form of NRG.
NRG Omni: "Before I lose my temper!"
Kurama: "The Prypiatosian-B, eh? You're going to need more than an impenetrable defense to beat me!" He charged for Omni, preparing to slash at his armor with his new bony claws.
NRG Omni: "Yeah, I know." Then, just before Kurama slashed him, Omni blasted him point-blank in the face with a blast of radiation.
NRG Omni: "But the armor's more for your sake." Kurama was slammed into a wall, back first, then landed on his gut as a tiny bit of rubble fell on him.
Kurama: "Insignificant..." He stood up, the rubble falling off of him as he did so. Omni's hands then glowed with radiation and he gestured for Kurama to come closer. Kurama planted his claws into the ground.
Kurama: "HUMAN!" He instantly picked a boulder out of the ground, and chucked it at Omni in a fit of rage. He ran along the rest of the wall to try and plan a surprise attack.
Omni blasted the boulder out of the air with a timed radiation blast, then turned just in time to block another of Kurama's slash attacks. Omni then attempted to punch Kurama, but the demon managed to avoid the punch, with Omni leaving a hole in the wall. Kurama stretched and enlarged his hand again, and grabbed Omni.
Kurama: "I'd say you should go... AROUND for a while!" He then spun his arm around, pushing Omni against the wall, and whirled him around the room, making Omni leave giant trails in the wall as he was spun around the room. Omni groaned as he was scraped along the wall. He struggled against Kurama's grip, but he was too strong.
NRG Omni: "Got to... Turn up the heat..." Omni then started focusing harder, and suddenly his suit started to glow as he got hotter and hotter. Then, he suddenly released an explosion that caused Kurama to get blown back and sending Omni into the wall, leaving an NRG shaped indent.
NRG Omni (dizzy): "Okay, wasn't expecting that."
That explosion made Kurama shake his head in dizziness. He got back up.
Kurama: "That all? A radioactive explosion?" He got up, and aimed his hands towards Omni. The bony paws over his hands formed into holes in place of the claws. He then shot out bony 'needles' at Omni. Omni saw the needles coming and managed to get out the wall before they hit him. He fell to the floor and then got his knees.
NRG: "Ugh... Wasn't expecting that either." Omni looked up to Kurama who was already turning to him again. While NRG's hide was tough, he wouldn't be able to get enough clear hits in-between Kurama's attacks. Right now, Omni needed speed. Omni then went for the Omnitrix and in place of NRG was XLR8, except this one was dressed all in white.
Kurama: "XLR8? Really?" Kurama went to attack by slashing with his claws, but Omni dodged by running at super speed. Kurama stretched and enlarged his hand towards him, and Omni dodged again, then kicked him in the back of the head.
Kurama: "GAH!" Kurama fell forward. He then looked back and glared at Omni, his eyes glowing even redder.
XLR8 Omni: "Aw, what's wrong Jack Skellington? Too fast for ya?" Omni then disappeared in a blur, giving Kurama enough time to get up. However, once he was back on his feet, something raced by him and punched him in the face. Kurama recoiled a bit, but before he could get his bearings back, he was punched again. And again. And again, and again, and again, and again. Kurama then managed to get a quick glimpse in and saw Omni rushing at him before delivering another punch, and then rushing to another part of the room before repeating the process.
Kurama: "Kinecelerans... always overconfident!" When he caught the glimpse of Omni coming for him again, he landed a hit, blowing him through the wall, creating a hole, going into the next room. While Omni was recuperating, Kurama pounced at him, eyes glowing red, and jaws wide open, preparing for a meal. However, Omni managed to grab Kurama's jaws just before they closed on his head.
XLR8 Omni (gagging): "Ew, dog breath!" Omni managed to push Kurama back before throwing him off him.
XLR8 Omni: "Alright, speed won't work. So I'll have to try this from another angle." Omni then got back up, and slapped the symbol of the Omnitrix on his chest. Then in place of XLR8 was...
Omni: "Time Turner?! Oh come on, I meant Venom you stupid watch!"
Kurama: "Heh heh heh... Sounds like you got a less favorable alien than what you wanted..." He tried to attack again, when something got into his head.
Kurama: "What?! You're... resisting?!" Kurama grabbed his head, and growled.
Kyle (In Kurama's head): 'GET BACK YOU FUCKING PARASITE!' Kurama looked back to Omni, and charged at him again, ignoring Kyle's resistance for the time being. Kyle was coming back, but not hard or fast. Omni took no time to run away from Kurama as, at the moment, he had no visible defense, not unless this castle had some loose wires lying around. Kurama roared at Omni, then pounced for him again.
Kyle (in Kurama's head): 'No!' Kurama then jittered in the air, and he fell to the ground from his current height.
Kurama (thinking): 'Stay down, human!' He growled at Omni again, then roared.
Kyle (in Kurama's head): 'I'm coming back.' Kurama outstretched a giant paw for Omni. He managed to grab him and soon lifted Omni into the air and then slammed him against the ground. He then lifted Omni over his head and slammed him into the other side of the room. He continued slamming Omni all over the room, like he was a rag doll, before slamming Omni into the wall and dragging him across it. He then ended his assault by throwing Omni to the other side of the room.
The attack left Omni badly hurt. The front of his clothes was ripped to shreds from being dragged across the wall, his chest was bleeding, and his body was covered in bruises from being thrown around all over the place.
Time Turner Omni (in pain): "That... That wasn't fun..." Omni looked at his right hand and his pupils dilated when he saw that it was starting to glow gold.
Time Turner Omni (in pain): "Oh no. Not again."
Kurama wasn't sure what was happening, but decided to stop it before it became a threat.
Kurama: "Goodbye. Boy." He opened the skull jaws around his head, and an energy blast begun to form in it. It was forming rather fast.
Kyle (in Kurama's head): 'NO!' He tried to give Omni more time by slowing down the charge, distracting Kurama in the process. The orb had begun to slow charging, but not by much.
Kurama: "Your fate is sealed."
Omni needed to act fast. Working through the pain, Omni managed to tap the symbol of the Omnitrix. However, instead of turning into another alien, the golden glow surrounding his body had turned green instead. Then, Omni managed to stand on his feet, and use the wall behind him for support as the green glow he seemed to emanate glowed brighter.
Time Turner Omni (thoughts): 'Got to time this... Just right...'
The orb in Kurama's jaw was getting stronger, and the whole time, Omni looked like he was struggling to hold something in as he glowed brighter and brighter. Finally, Kurama had finished charging the orb.
Kurama: "Now… to finish you..." Kurama meant to fire, but did not.
Kurama (thinking): 'Stop trying to control me!'
Kyle (in Kurama's head): 'You won't win, Kurama! I'll take over again... and soon!' Kurama was still attempting to fire the orb, but it would not budge. Kurama growled to himself.
Kurama (thinking): 'Meddling... human...'
Omni clenched his teeth as the green glow had now covered his entire body. He couldn't hold it back anymore; now it was the other guy's turn.
Omni closed his eyes as he let the process begin, and suddenly, his body exploded in green light, the force of which was enough to throw Kurama to the other end of the room, causing him to lose the orb he was charging as a result. Beneath the green light, Omni's features were shifting and changing, 'till finally, when the light died out, someone else was in Omni's place. He wore the same clothes as Time Turner, but his waist was a little thinner. He stood a couple inches taller, had a slim, sunken in face, and his hair was black.
His eyes suddenly opened and looked to Kurama, and strangely, he started smiling when he saw him.
Time Turner II Omni (deeper voice with an Australian accent): "Now then mate, where were we?"
Kurama: "I don't know what you did, but it won't matter!" Kurama soon fired bone needles at Omni again.
Kyle (in Kurama's head): 'You won't stay in forever!'
However, Omni didn't dodge the spikes. In fact, they actually managed to hit him. He grit his teeth in pain and grabbed at his stomach, where the needles hit him. At first, it looked like Kurama managed to kill him this time, but Omni's mouth twisted into a grin, and he looked up to Kurama.
Time Turner II Omni: "Not a smart move mate." Omni then threw his arms out and a wave of gold light spread out from his body, carrying the spikes with it. Kurama managed to reabsorb the spikes but he was pushed back a little by Omni's wave. Omni then straightened himself out, dusted off his clothes and looked over Kurama.
Time Turner II Omni (walks over to Kurama): "There are two things you should know mate. (hands start glowing gold) One, unlike the wimp, I don't die so easily. And two, never mess with a Time Lord while he's regeneratin'."
Omni then stopped walking, and then blasted a ray of gold light at Kurama. Kurama had taken the blow from the golden blast, but shrugged it off after a few seconds, and even began to heal the minor injury. Kurama was surprised to see this happen. A human... taking his attacks like that and not feeling a thing? Then again... a Time Lord wouldn't be a human.
Kurama: "I'm impressed, boy. Shrugging off my attack despite your fragility. Regeneration or not... You are... nothing!" He began to charge his tailed beast laser in his bone jaws again.
Kyle (in Kurama's head): 'Forget it!' He couldn't stop it this time, but made Kurama fire it prematurely.
Kurama (thinking): 'DAMN YOU, HUMAN! THAT WAS ONLY HALFWAY CHARGED!' The blast flew at Omni terribly fast regardless.
Omni managed to duck out of the way of Kurama's attack before he released more energy. However, this time he aimed for the ground and he threw his arm up and made the energy hit Kurama, like a big whip. Kurama was thrown into the air when the energy whip hit him and quickly fell to the ground. He growled, and rolled away from another strike.
Kurama: "You aren't human... I understand now. It will not save you from my power!" He enlarged and outstretched his hand again, aiming to punch Omni into the wall this time. However, Omni managed to roll under the fist, and actually started to laugh.
Time Turner II Omni: "Hahaha. Your power? I've seen school girls put up a better fight than you!"
Kurama growled. This human was making him mad, and he was being forced to fight with a host that was fighting back against him.
Kurama: "A school girl?! YOU BASTARD! YOU HAVE SEALED YOUR FATE!" He charged at Omni, roaring as loud as he could. Once he got close enough, he raised his claws, preparing to slash Omni into pieces.
Kyle (in Kurama's head): 'I'll never cooperate with you!' He pulled himself free of the restraints Kurama forced him into in his own mind.
Kyle: "Now... Let's go!"
Suddenly, Omni's arrogance vanished and it was replaced with shock.
Time Turner II Omni: "Kyle? Is that you?!"
Kurama: "What are you... GAH!" Kurama hit the ground, and found his skeleton armor and two of his six tails disappearing.
Kurama: "No... Kyle can't be..."
Kyle: "But I am, Kurama!" He was fully reverted into the 4-tails state, and even then, the red monstrous parts were disappearing.
Kurama: "NO! You think you... can... regain control so..."
Kyle: "Heh. Granted, Omni helped, but it was necessary! HAAAA!" All of the monstrous blood red covering his human skin vanished, and he was reverted to his 3-tails state.
Kurama: "I need... control! You can't possibly be..."
Kyle: "I've been hiding in my own self-pity for not being able to control you myself for too long!" The three tails disappeared just leaving behind the Kyuubi aura, and his more feral features disappeared, going back into normal human features. This was his initial aura no-tails form.
Kurama (in Kyle's head): 'You will regret the day you regained power like this.'
Kyle (thinking and out loud): "No. I won't. 'Cuz now, you're my caged… little… bitch."
Kurama (in Kyle's head): 'NOOO!' Kyle's aura disappeared completely. His skin was now intact, and healing slowly from the burns the transformation into four tails had done.
Kyle: "Sorry 'bout that, Omni. If I was in control then, I wouldn't have attacked you..."
Time Turner II Omni: "'ey. It was no problem mate. I knew it wasn't you." Omni then offered his hand to Kyle, which he accepted, and then Omni helped him get up. Then, Omni slapped the symbol of the Omnitrix and turned back to normal.
Tonto: "Omni!" Omni and Kyle looked over to the hole in the wall and saw their friends looking in from the other room.
Ali: "Kyle! I felt Kurama's presence!" She ran to him, and helped him stand straight up.
Ali: "D-do you need me to-"
Kyle: "I regained control on my own, Ali. It's not a problem anymore." Ali smiled, and hugged her boyfriend tightly. Kyle's Azmuth hopped off of Paradox's shoulders, and began to walk to Kyle.
Azmuth 1: "Not bad. Didn't think you'd be able to do that yet." Kyle grinned to his Azmuth.
Gwen: "You need help healing, or..."
Kyle: "Thanks, Gwen. That would be cool."
Kevin: "Careful what you do, Gwen. Those burns look serious."
Ben: "What happened to Eon?"
Kyle and Omni exchanged a look of concern before they faced their friends again.
Omni: "Kurama... Sort of-" However, before Omni could finish the sentence, the castle started shaking.
Tonto: "Um, what's going on?"
As the quakes continued, Kyle almost fell over, and Ali picked him back up again.
Kyle: "What in God's name was that?!"
Kevin: "No clue, bro."
Ben: "We need to get out of here!" He went XLR8.
XLR8 Ben: "See you guys!" He zoomed off.
Kyle: "Damn..." He looked at his watch. It was still ready to be used, but he wasn't exactly sure if he had enough energy in him to hold a transformation.
Omni went for his Omnitrix to try and transform again, but as he cycled through his aliens, his Omnitrix started beeping and gave him the warning symbol.
Omnitrix: "Warning, Omnitrix power levels low. Any further transformations will deplete remaining energy cells."
Omni: "Dammit! I must have drained it when I regenerated."
The castle shook further as the group started losing their balance and the walls began crumbling.
Tonto: "We need to get out of here, NOW!" Tonto then went for his Omnitrix, changed into Fasttrack, and grabbed Omni and Kyle.
Fasttrack Tonto: "Kayla, get everyone else out of here." And with that he rushed out.
Paradox (whispering): "It's too late. We've run out of time."
Kayla transformed into Fasttrack, grabbing Gwen, Kevin, and both Azmuth's, running out of the castle.
Fasttrack Kayla: "Hold on, guys!"
Gwen: "Careful with the speed, Kayla!" Ali absorbed the ground, and sprouted her butterfly wings to fly to move faster, while Paradox teleported out. Kyle held on to Tonto as best he could.
Kyle: "Tonto, don't slow down for anything!"
Ali: "Be careful with him!"
Kyle: "We don't have the time!" He was hoping that he could heal fast enough to be able to fix this with Alien X. He was sure the realities were converging as they moved.
Outside...
All three speedsters managed to make it outside the castle with Paradox and Ali joining them after. The group looked back at the castle and saw as it began to crumble to the ground as the world around them shook.
?: "Yes... It has begun!" The group looked over to the source of the voice and was shocked.
Omni and Kyle: "Eon?!"
Omni: "But, how?"
Eon: "I already showed you, in this void I can give life to any moment in time! A simple illusion, but an effective one to fool that creature you became 'Tennyson!'"
Kyle got out of Tonto's grip, and tried to face Eon.
Kyle: "Kurama is going to be soooo pissed with you." He thought about going Kurama again, just to overwhelm and defeat Eon again.
Ali: "Kyle, don't. You're still recuperating." Kyle didn't want to admit it, but she was right.
XLR8 Ben: "I'll take it from here." He transformed to Clockwork.
Clockwork Ben: "CLOCKWORK!" He walked towards Eon.
Clockwork Ben: "Your time... is up." He shot a time beam at Eon. However, Eon managed to counter with his own time beam, and as both beams met, Eon smiled.
Eon (struggling): "Even in a world where the Omnitrix was robbed from you... Your arrogance remains! It will a pleasure... To watch you die... Along with the rest of your world, Ben Tennyson!"
Clockwork Ben: "Sorry, Eon... Agh! THAT WON'T HAPPEN!" He upped the power output of his beam, pushing it towards Eon even harder.
Kyle: "Hold on, Ben!" He reached for his Ultimatrix. Gwen stopped him.
Gwen: "You're too weak!"
Kyle: "Am not!"
Kevin: "You don't always have to take things upon yourself, Kyle. Ben is strong enough!" Kyle's arm drooped, and his burns were still painful. Less so than before, but his body was still working on it.
Fasttrack Kayla: "Then I can help him." She was about to hit her symbol, when Ali stopped her.
Fasttrack Kayla: "Ali!"
Ali: "This is Ben's fight." Kyle was sure this sounded stupid, and he wanted desperately to help Ben, but he was hoping someone would step in.
Kyle (thinking): 'Ben can't be ready yet... But... at the same time... something is telling me to give him a shot.' He looked to his sister/clone, Kayla. They shared a gaze, agreeing with themselves that they would at least give him one shot.
Eon increased his power output as well, clenching his teeth to keep up.
Eon (struggling): "You... Cannot beat me. You are nothing more than a child pretending to be a hero! A bit player in someone else's story!"
Omni (whispering): "Come on Ben."
Eon: "It doesn't matter how much you resist. Soon you, and every other Ben Tennyson in the multiverse, shall die by my hand!"
Fasttrack Tonto: "You can do it!"
Eon: "Just lie down and accept your fate!"
Omni: "YOU CAN WIN!"
Eon: "JUST GIVE UP!"
Ben listened to Omni and Tonto. He looked to Kyle. Kyle gave him a big smirk and a thumbs up while wincing slightly. Ben would have smirked back if Clockwork's mouth could move.
Clockwork Ben: "I may be the worst Ben Tennyson you have seen, Eon. But one thing still remains. I AM BEN TENNYSON!" His green center gave off a bright spark, then his time beam amped up in its intensity, blowing Eon's blast into him at full strength. Ben screamed with all of his might as he fired it.
Kevin: "THAT'S IT, TENNYSON!"
Ali: "Ben!"
Fasttrack Kayla: "FINISH HIM, BENJI!"
Gwen: "This is your chance!"
Kyle: "I believe in you, bro! I KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS!"
Clockwork Ben (thinking): 'Thanks, Kyle. You've been a pal.' Ben steadied himself, focusing all of his power into his time beam as it broke through Eon's beam and completely engulfed Eon.
Eon: "AAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" Eon screamed in pain before Ben finally stopped his attack. Then, once it stopped, Eon stood there, his jacket ripped asunder, and his chest plate and mask looking heavily damaged.
Eon (weakly): "T-Tennyson..." His hands began flickering with purple energy, 'till he finally fell face down on the ground, too weak to keep fighting.
Clockwork Ben: "And good riddance." He transformed back to normal.
Kyle: "Now... to make sure this Eon doesn't mess with us again." He transformed to Diamondhead.
Diamondhead Kyle: "I should have enough energy for this."
Ali: "For what?"
Diamondhead Kyle (sharpening his hands into blades): "To finish him."
Azmuth 1: "Kyle Tennyson! He is out of the way! We need to fix the realities! Transform to Alien X and fix this!"
Diamondhead Kyle: "But we've seen how dangerous he is!" The look on Paradox's face seemed troubled. He looked to Omni, and directed his head to Kyle. Omni took the hint and spoke up.
Omni: "You're right Kyle. He is dangerous."
Everyone looked over to Omni, who in turn had his gaze locked on Kyle.
Omni: "He's killed people, tried to commit genocide, absorbed every Ben Tennyson he could find, even tried to destroy time itself. Hell, even now he's trying to get both of our worlds to come together so they can destroy each other! But you know what? If I was standing where you are right now, I would let him live."
Diamondhead Kyle: "Why?! What possible reason do you have for giving this... Monster mercy?!"
Omni: "Because that's what exactly what he wouldn't do! If it were you or me lying over there instead of him, he would kill us without a second thought just because he could. But that's why we give them our mercy. Because the day that we stop showing mercy, the day that killing is no longer a last resort... Is the day that we become no better than the monsters we fight."
Kyle couldn't believe what Omni was saying at first, and yet, he knew he was getting somewhere. In his mind, the punishment for a crime should be equal to the wrong committed, which is why he killed the Eon he first knew. Destroying humanity to revive his own race. He had felt that crime was unforgivable, and deserved death, but that was when he was 13. Now, he was 18, and still thought that way? He hasn't grown up at all... Makes the rant he gave to Cash seem hypocritical, since his own mind apparently hadn't developed much. He changed his blades back to his normal hands, and sighed.
Diamondhead Kyle: "Fine. I'll fix this. Time for Alien X." He transformed into Alien X, then looked at Omni.
Alien X Kyle: "Here goes!" He focused his reality bending abilities on the two universes, and then realized only his universe was being affected.
Alien X Kyle: "This... isn't right! What?!"
Fasttrack Tonto: "Ky, what's wrong?"
Just then, the void shook further and suddenly, the void didn't look so empty anymore. Above them, a sky seemed to be phasing into existence, with a sun appearing in the sky. On the ground however, buildings seemed to phasing in, with a road appearing beneath the group's feet. However, the buildings seemed to be constantly changing appearance and structure. And along the streets, people seemed to be phasing in and out of existence, along with showing signs of confusion over the shifting buildings and disappearing/reappearing people.
Paradox: "The worlds are starting to overlap!"
Azmuth 2: "If this keeps up, they'll destroy each other in no time!"
Alien X Kyle: "Apparently... only my universe is being affected by my powers! But... that's impossible! Alien X can do anything, right?!" He was genuinely confused.
Ben: "Which means mine can't do anything either..."
Gwen: "Omni, Tonto, can't one of you transform into Alien X to fix your universe up, too?"
Kevin: "It might be our only shot!" Ali bit her nails in the tension, and Kyle's Azmuth looked distressed.
Omni looked down to his Omnitrix in fear. He didn't have a lot of juice left in his watch. If he transformed again, he wouldn't be transformed for long. And even if he could make it last, would Serena and Bellicus even want to help?
He didn't dwell on this for long as suddenly, what sounded like a roar ripped through the skies. The group looked up and was horrified by what they saw; the sun was dissolving away, like a pill in a glass of water. Then, the buildings and the people started following suit, each dissolving out of existence one by one.
Azmuth 2: "Omnitrix bearer, you need to hur-" Azmuth never finished his sentence, as within seconds, he dissolved on Paradox's shoulder.
Fasttrack Tonto: "Azmuth!" Tonto rushed over to Paradox, but just before he reached him, Tonto dissolved away too.
Omni: "TONTO!" Omni clenched his teeth in rage, looked down to his watch, and immediately started looking through his aliens before settling on the one he wanted.
Omni (crying): "Please... Listen to me..." Omni then brought out the dial, slammed down on it as hard as he could, and one green flash later, standing in place of Omni was...
Omni: "Alien X."
