Map of Infinity
I don't own Digimon or Ben 10
"You killed them!" Humungousaur shouted angrily at Aggregor.
"I absorbed them. All their power is mine," he replied holding his hands up and their crackled with electricity, Humungousaur then tackled him into a wall and she then threw him to the other side of the room and he crashed to the ground, she then ran past the others who watched as she punched Aggregor in the face making him fall to the ground before Humungousaur threw him through the roof and he crashed into a military vehicle and she smashed through the wall and grabbed a truck and she slammed it down onto Aggregor before throwing it away, she then grabbed him by the throat and she punched him hard sending him flying and he crashed into the ground and groaned before Humungousaur ran up and punched him sending him flying through a building, he then looked to see the building being lifted by Humungousaur and she threw it at him and it landed on top of him. Humungousaur panted heavily before she heard Aggregor groan. She tore through the debris and grabbed him by his throat.
"You want some more!?" she shouted pulling her fist back only for Ben to grab it with his mana and Humungousaur turned and glared at him. "Let go of me!" she demanded but Ben remained silent and Humungousaur growled as she punched Aggregor with her free hand several times before she stopped and began to walk away until she heard Aggregor laughing, she and Ben saw him standing up.
"Was that the best you had? Because I never felt a thing," he said before he punched Humungousaur sending her flying into a building. "I am as invulnerable as Bivalvan's armour, Motomiya can't hurt me," he said arrogantly.
"Eratico!" Ben shouted holding his hands out and a bubble of mana appeared around Aggregor before it shattered.
"Did you know the Galapagus's can't be harmed by mana!?" Aggregor asked Ben before he fired energy beams from his eyes but Ben made a shield of mana which began to crack and Aggregor smirked as the shield shattered and Ben was sent flying back.
"Ben!" Gwen shouted running up to her cousin.
"He's alright. Which is more than what I can say for Aggregor," Derrick said as he pulled out a plasma pistol and he fired it at Aggregor making him stumble back before he fired an electric blast from his hand at Derrick and he was hit and sent flying back and he rolled across the ground. Kevin then absorbed some of the road and he ran towards Aggregor who caught his punch and slammed him into the ground and then picked him up and threw him away. As he turned to walk away he was hit by a beam of ice and was encased in a block of ice and Arctiguana ran up to him, he then broke out of the ice easily and he swatted her away.
"You can't defeat me I am the most powerful being in the universe," he told her and she growled at him.
"You haven't won yet. Allow me to introduce my ultimate form," she said slapping the Ultimatrix symbol on her chest and it gained four spikes and her body began to change. She grew greatly in size and her body gained more bulk, she had white armour, her teeth now became sharper. She had ice covering sections of her back and shoulders, with large icy blue cannons sticking out. There were also small ice growths on her arms and the black markings on her face now changed to blue. "Ultimate Arctiguana!" she bellowed in a deeper voice and she towered over Aggregor.
"Impressive," Aggregor said.
"You ain't seen nothing yet!" Ultimate Arctiguana shouted as she fired massive beams of ice from her cannons towards Aggregor and once they made contact they instantly trapped him in ice. Ultimate Arctiguana then turned back into normal Arctiguana when she saw the ice chip and Aggregor's eyes glow before the ice shattered and she was hit by an energy blast from his eyes and was knocked out and she turned back into Daisuke and Aggregor flew off.
"Wake up Daisuke Motomiya," she heard a voice tell her, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Azmuth standing over her and she groaned.
"Azmuth?" she asked sitting up and she held her head. Derrick groaned in pain as Max helped him stand while Kevin helped Ben up. "Where's Aggregor?"
"Long gone I'm afraid. His long term goal is why I am here," Azmuth answered.
"You never show up unless something important just happened," Gwen told him.
"Yes. We find ourselves in a situation so dire, that I might need to give Daisuke the new Omnitrix I've been working on as a successor to the Ultimatrix," Azmuth said.
"Can I put it on? That might give me an edge over Aggregor," Daisuke told him.
"It's still in development. By the time it gets finished, it will be too late," Azmuth replied.
"Well if you're not here to help, then we'll talk later," Daisuke said standing up.
"Wait Daisuke….hear him out," Derrick said holding his side.
"Aggregor has got to be looking for a ship to replace his busted one," Daisuke said.
"The best way to find one is to attack some Forever Knight castles," Kevin said.
"What about the Plumber bases?" Gwen asked.
"Listen to me! Aggregor will not be looking for a ship. With his new powers he doesn't need one!" Azmuth shouted.
"Then we'll never find him," Ben said.
"Listen and you will. I know where Aggregor is going, and if we don't stop him soon, the whole universe will tremble before his might," Azmuth told them before he snapped his fingers and the whole team vanished and reappeared on another planet. "Welcome to Galvan Mark 2,"
"You recreated your whole planet?" Gwen asked him.
"Of course we did, it was damaged during the war," he answered as he walked over to a console and pressed a button. "Stop wasting time on trivialities," he told her as an image of an infinity symbol appeared on the screen. "Behold, the map of infinity,"
"That's just a legend," Kevin said.
"No, it is as real as you and I," Azmuth said as Derrick held his head.
"A complete map of space time?" he asked.
"Extending through seventeen dimensions. With it, one could travel anywhere, so valuable is this map that Professor Paradox himself divided it up into four pieces and hid them throughout the galaxy. This was Aggregor's plan from the beginning, he kidnapped those creatures for the powers they possessed. With them he can survive the arduous journey to find the four pieces of the map," Azmuth explained.
"I don't see the importance of finding the map," Gwen said.
"It's not the map Gwen, it's where he's going once he has it," Max told her.
"He's going to the Forge of Creation," Derrick said weakly and Daisuke walked over and put her hand on his forehead.
"Dad, you look terrible. You've got a fever," she said worried.
"I'm fine baby girl," he replied.
"No you are not. Aggregor's electrical attack damaged his entire nervous system. It's going to take time for it to be repaired," Azmuth explained as three more Galvans walked into the room with a large tank behind them. "My assistants will replace your damaged central nervous system with a new one. A few weeks in a regen tank should do the trick,"
"After the mission, maybe," Derrick said.
"Dad, you won't last that long," Daisuke told him.
"Not without treatment. You have done great things for the universe Derrick Motomiya, now you must rest and recover," Azmuth told Derrick who sighed.
"Alright, be safe baby girl," he told Daisuke who smiled and nodded.
"I always am," she replied as she turned towards Yolei. "Yolei, I need you and Hawkmon to take care of any bad guys in Bellwood that might take advantage of our absence on Earth,"
"But my orders…." Yolei said.
"I'm making changes to them. From now on, you are to help Dai and her team whenever they're on Earth," Derrick told her as Max helped him walk off following the three assistants.
"I understand. Kick Aggregor's ass for me, Dai!" Yolei exclaimed.
"Don't worry. I intend to," Daisuke replied with a grin as Yolei and Hawkmon vanished in a flash of light.
"Mama," Daisuke turned to see Glaciem fly up to her.
"Glaciem? What're you doing here?" she asked.
"While you were fighting Aggregor, Paradox brought your daughter. He said she'll be very useful to finding the first Map of Infinity piece," Azmuth answered. "If Aggregor were to collect all four pieces of the map he can travel to the Forge of Creation and obtain the greatest power in the universe,"
"Where's Paradox, why doesn't he help?" Kevin asked.
"He already has. He erected a Chrono Randomization Barrier that hides the Forge of Creation from everyone except for its inhabitants and whoever has the map," Azmuth answered.
"Got it, we just need to stop Aggregor one time out of four and he's done for," Ben said.
"Yes, but you must succeed. That much power in Aggregor's hands would spell disaster for everyone," Azmuth said. Soon the team along with Glaciem were in the Rust Bucket flying through space and everyone except Glaciem were wearing space suits.
"So where are we going again?" Daisuke asked.
"A planet called Mykdl'dy," Gwen answered as her screen beeped. "Oh, this is weird," she said.
"What?" Ben asked her.
"It's really close to the sun and tidally locked," Gwen answered.
"And that means?" Kevin asked.
"The same side of the planet always faces the sun," Gwen answered. "Sun side the ground is molten and the temperature is 3,600 degrees, on the night side it's a little cooler, 320 below zero," she explained as they saw the planet and one side was frozen solid while the other side was molten.
"This won't work. Our suits will fail instantly on the hot side of the planet and they are only good for maybe an hour on the cold side," Kevin said as Gwen, Ben, Veemon and Daisuke put their helmets on and Ben looked at his backside.
"What're you doing?" Daisuke asked him.
"This is a Plumbers suit, I was just making sure my butt wasn't showing," he answered and Daisuke rolled her eyes as the Rust Bucket landed on the planet's surface and everyone disembarked.
"Welcome to the twilight zone," Veemon said.
"We're right between the hot and cold sides?" Ben asked as the group walked off.
"This planet is inhabited by alien colonists, keepers of an ancient temple they discovered here thousands of years ago," Gwen explained as they came upon a temple. "That temple,"
"But the atmosphere is either frozen solid or on fire. Who could leave here?" Kevin asked.
"The colonists find it quite comfortable," Gwen answered as they arrived at the temple and they saw several white Necrofriggians standing in front of the temple.
"Necrofriggians, the same race as Big Chill," Daisuke said.
"So they aren't bothered by the heat, or the cold," Gwen said.
"And hopefully us," Ben added as Glaciem flew towards the Necrofriggians.
"Glaciem!" Daisuke shouted running after her daughter and the Necrofriggians looked at them both and flew towards Daisuke and Glaciem when one more Necrofriggian appeared standing on a ledge.
"Stop! They have a child with them," he shouted.
"So we should just abandon our duties?" one of the Necrofriggians asked as the Necrofriggian flew down towards him.
"Stand down now or you will be severely punished," he said sternly. "Who is looking after you child?" he asked Glaciem.
"Mama," she answered flying beside Daisuke.
"Uh hi," she greeted. "I'm Daisuke Motomiya, you know the famous Dai 10?" she asked.
"What brings you here human?" one of the Necrofriggians asked her.
"Uh….me and my daughter and friends came to see the temple," she answered.
"Why should we allow you to pass?" one of the Necrofriggians asked her.
"There's a bad alien man coming here to get the artefact inside the temple. Can you please let us pass so we can stop him?" Glaciem asked him.
"I'm sorry little one but we can't abandon our duties," he answered and Glaciem did puppy dog eyes.
"Pwease?" she asked cutely.
"But we'll make an exception in this case," he answered. "I will be your guide then," he then told them.
"Why?" Veemon asked.
"This temple is filled with traps, without a guide you would surely perish," the Necrofriggian answered.
"Oh sure, we'd appreciate it," Daisuke said and the Necrofriggian nodded and he walked off and Daisuke, Glaciem and the rest of her team followed him into the temple.
"Nice place," Ben said.
"Yeah, if you don't mind being cooked or frozen solid," Kevin said as he stepped on a tile and it sunk into the ground and glowed.
"That's not good," Veemon said as a wall opened up and a giant hammer with spikes swung down and hit Kevin, Ben and Gwen.
"Guys!" Daisuke shouted worried, the hammer was then pushed back slowly and Kevin was covered in rock and Ben and Gwen were unharmed.
"I didn't know you could armour up that fast," Ben said.
"Well you know with the proper incentive," Kevin replied.
"That rock has been here for thousands of years, you should be safe from the elements," Gwen told him.
"There are more traps ahead," the Necrofriggian guide explained.
"Then we better be careful," Daisuke said walking off following the guide and soon the group were walking along a narrow walkway.
"Be sure to watch your footing," the guide warned them just as Kevin stepped on a panel and it glowed.
"What did he just say?" Veemon asked as the floor below everyone opened up and Glaciem caught Daisuke who grabbed Veemon while Ben, Gwen and Kevin fell towards a pool of green liquid, Gwen held her hands out and made a bubble of mana around her, Ben and Kevin just before they splashed into the liquid.
"Acid," Kevin said.
"Actually I think its liquid methane," Gwen said.
"Also not good from swimming in," Ben said as Daisuke, Veemon and Glaciem landed on the ground surrounding the liquid.
"Where's the guide?" Veemon asked.
"I think he went back outside," Daisuke answered, sure enough the guide walked out of the temple just as Aggregor landed and he walked towards the temple.
"Halt! No one may enter the temple apart from Dai 10 and her allies!" one Necrofriggian shouted.
"Is that right?" he asked shooting electricity from his hands at the guards electrocuting them all and he walked into the temple. Meanwhile Kevin, Gwen and Ben jumped onto solid ground and they along with Daisuke, Glaciem and Veemon saw three doors and heard a loud roar from one of them.
"Which way?" Kevin asked as Gwen's eyes glowed and she walked through a door and the others followed after her.
"Should we be going this way? I kind of feel something bad is down here," Ben said.
"Keep moving," Veemon said pushing him and Ben stumbled forward and he bumped into Kevin and Gwen and the trio fell forward and fell down a slide and screamed. "Uh….whoops,"
"Veemon," Daisuke groaned before she jumped down the slide after the others and Glaciem and Veemon followed her down and when they reached the bottom they landed on top of the others who groaned before they all heard a growl and they looked up to see a large maroon dragon-like alien with two heads. It walked on four legs and had six red eyes on each head. It also had very sharp teeth and it roared.
"What can this thing do?" Ben asked and the alien breathed a stream of fire from one of its two heads and it breathed a beam of ice from its other head towards the gang, Daisuke was enveloped in a gold flash of light and she turned into Echo Echo and she let loose a sonic scream which shattered the ice attack while Gwen sent a wave of mana at the fire and deflected it, Echo Echo then tapped the Ultimatrix dial on her chest and it gained four spikes and she transformed. She now had blue metal skin and fifteen blue, removable speaker-like components attached to her body which was an overall rounded design, she had longer arms and legs. On her back was a marking resembling a cassette tape, she was about Ben's height and she had stumped feet and the evolved Ultimatrix symbol on her chest
"Ultimate Echo Echo!" she exclaimed her voice sounding more robotic.
"Guess who is made of stuff you can't hurt," Kevin said as he ran towards the alien which breathed fire at him but he wasn't affected and he jumped and slammed his fists into the head knocking it down to the ground, Ultimate Echo Echo pulled off two of her discs and she threw them at the other head and they flew towards either side and let loose a sonic wave which made the alien roar in pain before it dropped to the ground.
"Oh yeah, I rule," Ultimate Echo Echo said before walking off.
"Shouldn't your name be Ultimate Echo Ultimate Echo?" Kevin asked her.
"Not the time Kevin," she answered as the group walked down a corridor and Veemon stepped on a tile and it glowed.
"Rats," he said as hundreds of needles were fired from every direction towards the group but Ben and Gwen made bubbles of mana defending everyone and they ran down the corridor and the needles stopped.
"They stopped," Kevin said.
"Our weight was probably what triggered them," Ultimate Echo Echo said picking one needle up. "Nasty," she said.
"Careful, they probably poisoned," Kevin told her and she threw the needle away and she walked off and the others followed until they arrived at a large door.
"The piece of the map is on the other side," Gwen said as Ben put on his Exo-suit and he and Kevin lifted up the heavy door as high as they could, Gwen then walked past them to get the map piece when she saw a needle in her arm and she pulled it out of her arm. "I think I was…." She said before she collapsed.
"Gwen!" Ben and Kevin shouted, Veemon ran up and he grabbed Gwen and dragged her back towards the others.
"Dai, grab the map piece, we can't hold this up much longer," Ben said as XLR8 sped past them down the tunnel and she returned seconds later with the piece of the map.
"Got it, quick Ben make a copy of it with your powers," she told Ben who nodded and he focused and a replica of the map piece appeared and XLR8 sped back down the tunnel before returning and she picked Gwen up and Veemon jumped onto her back. "Let's go!" she exclaimed running off and Kevin and Ben followed her out of the temple just before Aggregor arrived at the door and he smirked thinking he beat the team and he smashed through the door and he walked off and grabbed the fake map piece and he smirked in victory.
"One down, three to….." he said before the piece vanished. "What? Impossible unless...Motomiya!" he roared in outrage. Meanwhile the team had made it back to the Rust Bucket and were leaving the planet.
"One piece down," Daisuke said holding the map piece in her hand.
"Yeah, but Aggregor isn't going to stop searching for the other three pieces," Ben said.
"I know that, which is why we will keep searching for the other three pieces and stop Aggregor once and for all," Daisuke said determined and her team nodded.
