Disclaimer: I don't own Ben Ten this is just a story just for fun.
The next day Ben, Talley, Rook, and Lucy and her team were hanging around Undertown. Ben and Talley were walking side by side with Talley wearing her new fin band. It seemed like today was going to be a good day little did they know that this day was going to get really bad very quick.
Miles away in the cavern Billy and the Vengers were fixing to make their move. Billy pulled out the controller and was tapping some commands into it. A holographic screen popped up showing Ben and the group walking through Undertown. Billy smiles nastily.
"Are we ready to begin?" Asked Darkstar.
"Yep. The control device is ready to go. I can't wait to see the look on Ben's face, when I turn he little girlfriend against him! I'm going to enjoy this!" Said Billy.
"Remember the plan. You can mess around with Ben for a little bit, but I need you to lure him to the harbor. There we will spring the trap and destroy him once and for all." Said Darkstar.
"Yeah. Yeah. I know the plan. I'm just going to have a little fun first." Said Billy as he tapped a few more buttons on his controller.
In Undertown the group were sitting at a table drinking some drinks. Ben and Talley were sitting at one table chatting.
"So Talley...you want to catch a movie or something?" Asked Ben.
"As a group?" Asked Talley.
"No...um just the two of us." Said Ben.
"Ben Tennyson are you...asking me out on a date?" Asked Talley.
"I guess we could...call it a date." Said Ben as he blushed slightly. "So you want to go out?" He asked.
"I'd would love to go out with you on a date." Said Talley as she blushed slightly.
At a nearby table Rook, Lucy, Ember, and Gaz watched Ben and Talley.
"Looks like those two are finally starting to get serious in their relationship." Whispered Ember.
"I knew they would get along. They make such a good couple." Said Lucy.
On Captain Kork's ship Billy sat on a chair as he glared at the holographic screen and stuck his tongue out with disgust.
"All this lovey dovy stuff is gross! I'm so going to enjoying using this girl against Ben." Said Billy as he grinned nastily and pressed a few buttons on the controller.
Back in Undertown Ben watched in shock as Talley's pink eyes suddenly changed bright red. It took Ben a split second to realize that something was definitely wrong with Talley. But before Ben could do anything Talley shot her hand out grabbing Ben by the shirt and easily picking him up as if he weighed nothing. A look of concern appeared on Rook and Lucy's face as they saw what was happening. They all started to stand up. Talley hurled Ben at them and knocked down Rook and Ember. Talley made her clothes morph into her Plumber uniform and grew to about ten feet before running off.
"What...happened?" Groaned Rook as he Ben and Ember stumbled to their feet.
"I'm...not sure how, but I think Talley's being controlled by something." Said Ben.
"We have to stop her!" Said Lucy.
The group took off after Talley, who had now grown to twenty feet and was barreling down the street. In front of her was Pakmar's latest business, a garden store. Parkmar just happened to be outside the shop tending to some planets and working on a display of garden nomes, when he saw Talley racing towards his shop.
"No! Don't wreck Pakmar's business!" Cried Pakmar as he waved his arms around in a vain attempt to stop Talley.
Talley raced towards the garden store not even slowing down. Pakmar dived out of the way as Talley smashed through the store leaving a twenty foot tall hole through the small shop!
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOO!" Screamed Pakmar.
"Sorry!" Called Ben as he and the others raced by.
"I going to go get the Proto-TRUK!" Called Rook as he ran off to get his TRUK.
Talley raced through a large tunnel and out into Bellwood. Rook arrived with the Proto-Truck and everybody hopped in and took off after Talley. Talley was now fifty feet tall and making her way through Bellwood, until she reached the docks. Talley jumped into the water and grew to her full hight and started to toss some nearby boats around in the harbor. The Proto-TRUk arrived and Ben and the others got out.
"What do you think is controlling Talley?" Asked Lucy.
"I have a feeling that fin band I bought from Simian as something to do with it. We need to get it off of Talley before something bad happens." Said Ben.
"Will help you. You just keep Talley distracted will deal with the fin band." Said Ember as she and Gaz prepared to take flight.
Ben scrolled through his aliens, until he found the one he wanted. He jumped off of the docks and hit the Omintrix transforming into Way Big.
"Lets put a stop to this before things get out of hand." Said Way Big as he stomped to Talley.
Ember and Gaz took flight and followed him. Way Big approached Talley raising his arms for battle. Talley charged at Way Big throwing several punches. Way Big blocked the blows and shot his hands out grabbing Talley's arms. Talley tried to yank her arms free, but Way Big held on tightly.
"Talley...I don't want to fight you. Just hold still and don't struggle. Will have you back to normal real soon." Said Way Big.
Talley responded by slamming a knee into Way Big's gut knocking the breath out of him and making him release his grip. Talley slammed a fist into Way Big's face sending him stumbling back. Ember and Gaz flew towards Talley going for her fin, so they could destroy the fin band. Talley saw them and swatted a massive hand at them forcing them to retreat. Talley saw that Way Big was coming back to his senses and charged at him to continue the fight.
"Darn we can't get anywhere near Talley, without her seeing us!" Complained Ember.
"You can't, but my shrinking powers can." Said Gaz as she shrunk down to her inch hight and flew towards Talley's direction.
"Good luck." Said Ember.
On Captain Kork's ship. The ship had gone underwater and was traveling through an underwater tunnel. Billy was pushing buttons on his controller and laughing as Talley pounded on Ben.
"Man this is exciting! I'm just pounding on Ben and he refuses to fight back against his precious girlfriend! What a coward!" Laughed Billy.
"Is Ben in the harbor?" Asked Darkstar.
"Yeah his in the harbor. You know I could just use his girlfriend to crush him. It would be incredibly easy." Said Billy as he glanced at Darkstar.
"As tempting as that sounds I'll have to decline. I want Tennyson to know whose behind this and I want him to suffer at my hands before he dies." Said Darkstar as he clenched his fist.
"Whatever you say." Said Billy as he turned back to the controller and continued to pound on Ben.
"We shout be arriving at the harbor in five minutes." Called Captain Kork.
"Excellent." Said Darkstar.
Gaz grabbed onto Talley's fin and started to crawl towards the fin band desperately hanging onto the fin as Talley fought Way Big. The fight wasn't go to well for Way Big Talley just kept on coming delivering blow after blow. Way Big blocked a punch and shoved Talley back.
"Well...at least things can't get any worse." Muttered Way Big.
At that moment Captain Kork's ship rose to the surface the big plasma cannon pointed at Way Big.
"Me and my big mouth!" Cursed Way Big.
As bad as things looked things were fixing to get much worse. On the main deck Rojo was hopping onto her hover bike. Darkstar walked over and hopped onto the back.
"I need you to get me close to Tennyson. Once I absorb some of his energy the real fun will begin." Said Darkstar.
Rojo nodded and the hover bike took off flying towards Way Big. Ember saw the two villains and launched a fireball at them. Rojo dodged the fireball and Darkstar turned to glare at Ember.
"Your not the main course, but you'll do for an appetizer." Said Darkstar as he fired a beam of dark energy and hit Ember with it.
Ember screamed in pain as her flames died down a little and she began to fall towards the water. In desperation Ember fired a large amount of fire downwards and launched herself away from Darkstar and the water and towards the docks. Darkstar watched as Ember flew away her flames slowly rising back up.
"That takes care of one minor annoyance." Said Darkstar as the hover bike got closer to Way Big.
On the docks Rook and Lucy ran over to Ember as she landed on the docks breathing hard.
"What happened? Where's Gaz?" Asked Lucy.
"Gaz shrunk down, so she could sneak up on Talley and destroy the fin band. That weird ship with the big gun showed up and a hover bike was flying towards Ben and Talley carrying a guy with a silver mask and a chick in red armor. I tried to stop them, but...the guy blasted me with some weird energy and I became really weak." Said Ember.
"You know who these guys are Rook?" Asked Lucy as she faced Rook.
"I do. The women in the red armor is Rojo and the man in the sliver mask is a extremely dangerous criminal named Darkstar. Things are not looking good if his involved." Said Rook as he headed to his TRUK.
Lucy got into the TRUK as it transformed into it's ship mode and took off into the air. Ember released a blast of flames and took off after them.
On a nearby bridge a news van arrived and Will Harangue and a cameraman jumped out. Harangue stood in front of the camera with the fight between Talley and Way Big going on behind him.
"Your with me live people. As you can see behind me the menace Ben Tennyson is fighting against a member of the so called law enforcement agency know as the Plumbers. Clearly this is a battle to determine, who will be in charge of the undertaking of the world!" Declared Harangue as the battle continued to go on.
Rojo and Darkstar had finally made it to Way Big. Darkstar pulled out his communicator and called Billy.
"Call the puppet off for a minute." He said.
"Fine." Muttered Billy as he pushed some buttons on the controller.
Talley stopped attacking Way Big. Way Big starred at Talley confused.
"How do you like our little puppet Tennyson?" Called Darkstar as the hover bike flew up in front Way Big.
"Darkstar! Your behind this?" Said Way Big.
"Yes me and a few other of your enemies came with this little elaborate plan to destroy you once and for all." Said Darkstar.
"I'm not beaten yet." Said Way Big as he tried to swat at the hover bike.
The hover bike easily dodged the swing.
"Oh but you are. We had your little girlfriend soften you up and now it's feeding time." Said Darkstar as he blasted Way Big with his dark energy.
Way Big screamed and fell to his knees as Darkstar laughed madly.
"The power! I feel your cosmic power coursing through by veins!" Laughed Darkstar as he levitated from the hover bike and produce a golden aura. "Now you will die at my hands!" He said as he pulled off his mask revealing a handsome golden face and hair.
"Oh...crud." Said Way Big as Darkstar flew forward and delivered a punch that could topple buildings into Way Big's face sending him crashing across the harbor into a nearby cargo ship.
Way Big slumped against the ship as Darkstar flew forward and blasted him with a few powerful golden energy blast sending Way Big crashing into the harbor near Talley.
"This power is incredible! But as fun as it is swatting you around. It's time to end this." Said Darkstar as he waved his hand at Captain Kork's ship.
Billy saw the wave and understood. He tapped a few buttons on his controller and made Talley walk up behind Way Big and raise him to his feet. Talley walked over to the ship dragging Way Big along, until they were positioned in front of the plasma cannon. The plasma cannon began to charge up.
"Your going to go out in a bang Tennyson. At least it will be in the embrace of your girlfriend. Don't worry about Gwen and Kevin I promise you I'll take good care of them." Said Darkstar.
Way Big tried to escape, but he was to weak. It looked like this was the end.
On Talley's fin Gaz had finally reached the fin band which was giant size. Giz went to the gem and cut a hole into the side. Gaz saw that the gem was filled with wires and circuitry.
"Time to get to work." Said Gaz before she started to rip wires out.
On Captain Kork's ship Billy starred at the controller in confusion as it told him he lost the fin band signal. Billy pressed several buttons trying to get the signal back, but couldn't. A panicked look appeared on Billy's face.
Talley's eyes turned back to their normal pink color. Talley looked around in confusion. She had no idea what was happening, but whatever it was it wasn't good. Talley saw the large plasma cannon in front of her and Way Big fixing to fire. Talley dived to the side taking Way Big with her as the cannon fired a large red energy and missed the.
"What?" Said Darkstar in confusion.
"Talley that really you?" Asked Way Big.
"It is. What's going on?" Said Talley.
"Well the short version is that a bunch of bad guys took control of you using your fin band and made us fight. Then they made us stand in front of that cannon and tried to destroy us both." Said Way Big.
Talley reached up to her fin and yanked off the fin band. Gaz flew away and grew to her full human hight in front of Talley's eyes.
"Did you free me?" Asked Talley.
"I did." Said Gaz.
"Thanks." Said Talkey.
"Your welcome. Good to have you back to normal." Said Gaz.
"Sorry to interrupt this little reunion, but you two still have to die." Said Darkstar as the plasma cannon pointed at Talley and Way Big preparing to fire.
But just when the cannon was about to fire Rook flew in with Proto-TRUK firing it's blasters at the the cannon. The cannon sparked and exploded greatly damaging Captain Kork's ship. Rojo flew after Rook firing her blasters at him, but Ember showed up and blasted Rojo's bike sending her crashing onto the deck of Captain Kork's ship.
"Nice job team!" Called Way Big as he and Talley stood up.
"Will take care of the guys on the ship." Said Gaz as she flew towards the ship.
Way Big and Talley faced Darkstar who glared at them.
"Fine I'll just deal with the two of you myself!" Shouted Darkstar as he flew forward with both fist.
Way Big charged forward with one massive fist. The two fighters collided and unleashed a massive shockwave that shattered glass several miles away.
Harangue's glasses shattered as the lens on the camera cracked. The shockwave also knocked Harangue and his cameraman to the ground. Harangue faced the camera.
"Will...be right back after...these commercials." He groaned.
The news feed cut off and the cameraman went looking for a new lens.
In the harbor Darkstar was flying around Way Big and Talley zapping them with his energy. Talley quickly thought of something and clapped her hands loudly creating a small shockwave that sent Darkstar tumbling through the air stunned. Way Big took advantage of this and slammed a fist into Darkstar sending him flying a few hundred yards, before the villain regained control of his flight and charged right back at Way Big and Talley.
On Captain Kork's ship another battle was happening. Rook, Lucy, Gaz, and Ember were facing off against the Vengers. Rook had put his ship on autopilot and jumped along with Lucy to the deck below.
Lucy found herself facing off against Thumskull and Acid Breath. Thumskull slammed a fist that harmlessly went through Lucy. Acid Breath fired a burst if his breath at Lucy forcing her to retreat.
"Time to even up the odds a little." Thought Lucy as she morphed into Acid Face and ran towards the real Acid Face who looked stunned at Lucy's shapeshifting abilities.
Lucy grabbed him and the two of them spun around several times before stopping in front of Thumskull, who was trying to figure out who was the real Acid Breath.
"Quick attack him! His the imposter!" Shouted Lucy in Acid Breath's voice.
"Don't listen to him! He's the imposter!" Shouted the real Acid Breath.
Thumskull just scratched his head in confusion.
"You brainless idiot! Attack already!" Snarled Acid Breath.
Thumskull slammed his fist on Acid Breath's head knocking him out.
"Nice job." Said Lucy as she morphed back into her normal form.
Thumskull let out an angry bellow and charged at Lucy like a bull. Lucy fired some mud on the floor and stepped out of Thumskull's patch as he slipped on the mud and crashed into a metal wall. Knocking himself out.
Rook was facing off against Captain Kork and Mazuma. Rook had activated the boa staff on his Proto-Tool and was fending off swings from Captain Kork's hook and Mazuma's claws. Both villains charged at Rook, who flipped over them and launched a net at them entangling them. As they tried to escape Rook activated the taser in his Proto-Tool knocking Captain Kork out and deactivating Mazuma.
"That's a fine catch." Joked Rook.
Ember and Gaz were facing off against Rojo and Frightwing. Behind a nearby crate Billy and Simian were watching and hiding. Billy gave Simian a glare.
"Why aren't you out there fighting? Your a member of the Vengers! I pay you, so get out there!" Ordered Billy.
"I'm not much of a fighter." Said Simian with a weak smile.
"I'm...surrounded by useless idiots." Groaned Billy as he face palmed himself.
Ember charged at Rojo performing a spinning leg kick that slammed into Rojo and knocked her to the ground in a heap. Frightwing wrapped her hair around Gaz's arm. Gaz just smirked and unleashed a burst of bioelecticity that travel through Frightwing's hair and knocked her out.
Billy and Simian saw the last of their teammates go down and decided it was time to retreat. Billy activated his jetpack and was fixing to take off, when a burst of fire destroyed the right wing of his jetpack making him fall to the ground. Ember blew smoke from her finger and grinned. Simian tried to make a run for it, but Rook appeared and blasted a net at him trapping him.
"Looks like we won." Said Ember.
"This isn't over!" Shouted Billy as he waved his fist at the team.
Rook walked over to Billy and picked him up by the back of his shirt and handcuffed him.
"Your under arrest." Said Rook.
"Oh...man." Muttered Billy.
In the harbor Darkstar was breathing hard and his golden glow was looking lighter. Ben and Talley were fighting together and they were proving to be a good team. Darkstar had had enough.
"That's it I going to end this once and for all!" Shouted Darkstar as he used up most of his energy to blast a powerful blast at Way Big and Talley.
Way Big and Talley crossed their wrist and they both unleashed a cosmic blast that slammed through Darkstar's attack and hit him. There was a bright flash and a loud explosion that sent Darkstar crashing into a beach creating a crater. Darkstar groaned in the center of the crater as his golden glow vanished and he returned to his zombie self. Way Big and Talley walked towards the beach. Way changed back into Ben as Talley went back to her human size. The two of them starred at Darkstar in the crater. Darkstar stumbled out of the crater.
"This...isn't over! I'm going to destroy...you!" Snarled Darkstar as he staggered towards them.
"Not today." Said Ben as he and Talley both punch Darkstar in the face knocking him out.
"Well that was fun." Said Talley. "Sorry about attacking you." She said.
"Hey it wasn't your fault. It happens." Said Ben as he pulled out his communicator. "Hey Rook we beat Darkstar, his at the beach laying on the ground unconscious and ready for pickup." He said before he put his communicator up.
"What are we doing?" Asked Talley.
"You and I are going on a date. We deserve it after this little mess." Said Ben as he indicated Darkstar.
"Sounds good to me." Said Talley.
Ben and Talley took each others hands and walked off the beach into town to have their little date.
To be continued.
