Chapter 21: How Random

Marcus was waiting in his chair as he checked his phone. It was 12:59. Marcus sat up from his chair and activated the Omnitrix. He selected an alien and pushed down the dial. "Fasttrack!"

Fasttrack zoomed out of the warehouse and down to the address left for him by Seven Seven.

He reached the place. A rundown apartment building in the bad part of Bellwood. Looking closely he could see some holes the building from the last time he was here. Fasttrack zoomed to the front door of the building and reverted back into human form. Marcus opened the door and stepped inside. There was a piece of paper on the floor in front of him. He picked it up and read it using the glow from the Omnitrix. It read 'Down the hall and to the left.'

Marcus dropped the piece of paper and continued on. He cautiously walked down the hall and turned around the left corner to see Azmuth trapped in a sphere of electrical energy. The sphere generated by a small console. The console was placed on an old raggedy table in the center of the room.

At each corner of the room stood one of the criminals that broke into the warehouse earlier that night. Top left: Gold Buster. Top right: Seven Seven. Bottom left: Argit. Bottom right: Charge.

"Alright," Marcus said, "where's the boss?"

"Right behind you."

Marcus whirled around to come face-to-face with the man behind all this. "Bellitor," Marcus said.

Bellitor, the humanoid alien with purple skin and a jewel on his forehead. He was standing tall in front of Marcus with a smirk on his face. "Hello, Wilcox. Its been a while."

Marcus reached for his Omnitrix and Bellitor stopped him. "If you change right now I'll press this button," Bellitor reveals a remote in his hand, "and the force-field surrounding Azmuth with implode and kill him."

Marcus didn't move. He placed his hands at his sides and looked up at the tall alien crime boss. "What do you want?" he asked.

Bellitor peered down at him and said, "Your Omnitrix and i want to see you burn."

Bellitor turned his back to Marcus and Gold Buster knocked him on the back of the head, making Marcus blackout.

Marcus was still unconscious, but Belitor and his goons moved him to a containment circle. The held him up by the hands and feet. The goons circled him anxiously. Bellitor walked into the room and placed a box of tools down on the table Azmuth's sphere lay on. Azmuth saw the tools and spoke to Bellitor.

"What do you plan on doing with those?" he asked.

Bellitor picked an alien scalpel and replied, "I'm going to get that watch. No matter what."

"You fool. You'll never get it off. The watch is built to fight off any one that tries to remove it from its user. And worse yet I'm not entirely sure what it will do." Azmuth warned.

"Shut your trap oldy! I don't want to hear it from you!" Bellitor screamed.

Bellitor approached Marcus and aimed the scalpel at the Omnitrix. As soon as the scalpel touched the Omnitrix and applied pressure, the Omnitrix beeped and emitted a loud screech. Sending pain into the ears of all who heard it. Bellitor dropped his scalpel and usher his hands against his ears. The screech woke Marcus up, who was twisting his head in pain. Eight seconds passed before the screech stopped. When it did everyone was surprised to discover they could still hear. Bellitor looked at Azmuth and said, "So is that it? That's your defense? A loud noise? HA!"

Suddenly, a green light flashed behind Bellitor. He turned around in shock to see that Marcus had transformed into Eye Guy. But then, in a another flash, he transformed into Brainstorm. Then he transformed into Wildvine. Marcus screamed, "What's happening?"

"The Omnitrix has entered randomizer function! You'll constantly change from form to form!" Azmuth replied.

Wildvine transformed into Spidermonkey and then he changed into Humungousaur and broke free of the circle thanks to his massive size. Humungousaur used his tail to knock Charge into Gold Buster and then he transformed into Cannonbolt and rolled toward Seven Seven, crushing him into the floor. Cannonbolt then turned into Heatblast and turned around to push a fire wave toward Argit and Bellitor. The fire wave burned Argit and nearly killed him and Bellitor was semi-conscious, but Azmuth was unharmed because he was safe in the force-field. Heatblast ran over to Azmuth's force-field and picked it up. Then Heatblast transformed into Spidermonkey. "Let's make like a banana and split!" Spidermonkey said.

He placed the force-field in his two lower arms and started running for the exit. Seven Seven appeared in front of him with his guns raised, but Spidermonkey front flipped and fired a web ball in Seven Seven's face. Then Spidermonkey ran forward and kicked the blinded bounty hunter in the face. Spidermonkey went and kept running down the hallway towards the exit, when Charge smashed through the wall on his right and almost trampled Marcus. Then Spidermonkey transformed into Rip Jaws. Rip Jaws placed the force-field down and told Azmuth, "Stay here. I'll be right back."

Azmuth replied with, "Where can I possibly go?"

Rip Jaws lunged forward and tackled Charge. The two of them crashed through the front door of the building and exchanged a series of punches. Charge broke away from the fish-alien and ran at him with his horned raised. Rip Jaws side-stepped the attack and used his incredible jaws to bite Charge's horn off. Charge fell onto the ground and began crying about the pain and his lost horn. Rip Jaws spit the horn out of his mouth. Then he started suffocating. He fell on his knees and began gasping for water. Luckily, though, the Omnitrix changed him into Chromatone. "Thank goodness." He said.

Chromastone ran back into the building to find Azmuth and get him out of there, what he found was Gold Buster with Azmuth's force-field tucked under his arm and one of his cannons aimed at Chromastone. "Go ahead Goldy, shoot me. I'll just absorb the energy and fire it back at you."

"Then I'll just wait until you turn into something else and then I'll blast you into oblivion." Gold Buster sneered. That hadn't occurred to Marcus. He knew it was only a matter of seconds before he changed again. Then he did. He changed into Upchuck. Gold Buster fired immediately, not knowing what the alien was capable of, and the purple energy ball from his cannon shot at Upchuck who swallowed it and shot back a green ball of spit that went into his cannon and exploded it. Gold Buster recoiled from the blast and dropped Azmuth's force-field. Azmuth bounced on the ground and Marcus picked him up. Azmuth looked up at Marcus and screamed, "Get me out of here! I'm tired of being thrown around like a ball!"

Upchuck swallowed the force-field and then spat Azmuth out without any sign of the force-field. "That's disgusting." Azmuth said whipping saliva off of himself.

"Well you wanted out." Upchuck said an amused smile on his face. Then Seven Seven came flying towards them and Upchuck spat an exploding spit ball at Seven Seven and sent hurdling into the hallway wall on his left. Then Upchuck transformed into Nanomech. Nanomech looked at Azmuth and said, "We should get out of here before someone steps on us."

"Agreed." Azmuth replied.

The two of them made their way out of the building and Nanomech transformed into Eye Guy. "Uh... Azmuth?" Eye Guy said as he transformed into Big Chill. "How do i stop transforming?"

"Oh yes. Pick me up." Big Chill picked Azmuth up and transformed into Fasttrack. "Hold me near your chest." Azmuth said.

Marcus held him close to the Omnitrix symbol and Azmuth began tinkering on it. Then suddenly, Fasttrack transformed into Marcus.

"Whew! Thanks Azmuth. That was starting get tiring." Marcus said relieved.

"Don't worry. Now let's call the plumbers before these guys decide to retaliate."

"Ok."

Marcus whips out his Plumbers badge and calls headquarters.
