Chapter 21: The Best Sword in the Universe!
Well, I couldn't believe this myself, but, we heard the ultimate weapon in the universe had been discovered! What could be more powerful than the Omnitrix? Read on!
Gwen: "Kyle, You've been quiet all day! This isn't like you."
Metrion (pulling down hood on the cloak): "I need to meditate at least once every day now. It keeps this form under control."
Gwen: "You never needed to control it before."
Metrion: "I know, but that was before I realized it was in here. I'll keep on this for right now." I closed my eyes, and everything around me became like outer space, and I was levitating on a rock.
Metrion: "Azarath metrion zinthos…" I was saying that out loud, which was freaking out Gwen a tad bit.
Gwen: "This is so creepy…" She backed up, and sat in the couch. Ben walked up to me, and snapped his fingers in my face. I didn't respond at all to it.
Ben: "He is creepy like that, Gwen, uh…" He shivered.
Gwen: "No kidding. I like him better as normal Kyle." I opened my eyes.
Metrion: "That's better."
Max: "LUNCH TIME!!!!"
Metrion: "AAAAHHHHHH!" I lost my concentration while floating, and slammed onto the ground. Ben and Gwen laughed.
Metrion: "So not funny. What's for lunch?"
Max: "Dung Beetle Soup."
Ben and Gwen: "EWW!"
Metrion: "Let's give it a whirl." I sat down, and Max put a bowl in front of me. I slurped it up in the spoon, tasted it for a second, then smiled.
Metrion: "Not bad at all Max." I used my telekinesis on the bowl, opened my mouth, and slurped up the rest of it in one gulp.
Ben: "Oh great! Now he knows how to use telekinesis to eat things!"
Gwen: "Eww…"
Metrion: "What? Is something wrong with that?"
Max: "No. I liked it. I never knew you liked my cooking that much."
Metrion: "What can I say? You always cook good food. Except for Splug."
Gwen: "And he's never made it since."
Metrion: "Well, it's not like-" An alarm went off. "AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" It scared me again, and I even banged my head on the floor again, making Ben and Gwen laugh once again.
Gwen : "I don't know if it's the scream, or the fact he's falling on the floor that makes me laugh! HAHAHAHA!!"
Ben: "It's the girly scream! HAHA!"
Metrion: "GRRRRRR!!!" My eyes glowed black, then I levitated them both, and dropped them on the floor head-first. Max then laughed a bit.
Metrion: "How do you like it? HUH?!"
Gwen: "Cool down! Please!"
Ben: "You're having an emotional breakdown again!"
Metrion: "I don't care!" I grabbed them again, and slammed them into the floor this time. I stopped myself.
Ben: "Not cool, dude!"
Gwen: "So not cool." I reverted to normal.
Kyle: "Now you know how I feel."
Max: "Kids, look at this!" We walked over to his little screen, and it showed a mask.
Kyle: "Wow. Nice looking mask."
Gwen: "Looks creepy."
Kyle: "Like I'm not."
Max: "It's the Mask of Ekchuah."
Ben: "Is that an alien?"
Max and Kyle: "No. he's the Mayan God of War." We looked at each other, and I shrugged.
Max: "I'm rubbing off on you. I can tell."
Kyle; "What can I say? You're a good teacher."
Max: "It's been discovered at an oil rigging place in the desert somewhere."
Kyle: "On it!" I became Upgrade.
Upgrade: "I'll have us there in no time!" I merged with the RV, then zoomed off in the direction the radar gave me. We got there in a matter of minutes. I then separated from the RV. The door was opened, and Gwen fell out of the RV, and Max fell right next to her, while Ben jumped out and we high-fived.
Ben: "I love it when you do that, Kyle."
Upgrade: "So do I."
Max: "We have to sneak into that building, then get the mask." I went Big Chill.
Big Chill: "On it." I phased through the building, and came out in a room where two guard dogs were. They barked at me, and tried to scare me off when I became tangible in front of them.
Big Chill: "You mutts want to play scare?" I went Wildmutt, then roared in their faces, scaring them off. I smiled, then started running through, trying to find a way for Ben, Gwen, and Max to get in. I eventually found a storm cellar door, and opened it for them.
Gwen: "Nice job, Fido." She petted me, and Ben and Max walked in while we looked for the signal that Max was tracing on his scanner. We got to a room with a safe in it.
Max: "The mask is in that safe." I walked up to it, then went Grey Matter.
Grey Matter: "Who better to crack a safe then you?" I turned the dial around, until I heard it crack open. I gave them a thumbs up, and Max opened the safe, taking out the mask. I jumped off, and reverted to normal.
Kyle: "See? That wasn't so bad, now was it guys?"
Ben: "Nope, Kai. It wasn't."
Kyle: "Yep. I'm awesome. I'm signing autographs today."
Gwen: "Let's get out of here before we get spotted."
Voice: "Hello, Tennysons, and Kyle." We saw Enoch, along with his Forever Knight goons.
Kyle: "You guys again? D***. I thought you gave up after I blew up your castle."
Enoch: "No such luck. That was not our only castle you destroyed. Smite them, my Knights!" They charged, and I went Diamondhead.
Diamondhead: "Bring it, metalheads!" They sliced at me, but I deflected their swords, and kicked them off, then went XLR8, and tackled Enoch. Gwen high jump kicked the goon about to get up, and Ben punched the other one. Max was still holding the mask, and ran out with Ben and Gwen, only to be stopped by more goons. Enoch was slammed into a wall, and I stepped out as Cannonbolt, then saw Max backing away from the goons, went Ghostfreak, phased through Max, then went tangible, and went Eye Guy, then blew them all away with my eye beams.
Eye Guy: "Go! I'll handle the knights!" I went Chromastone, and charged at Enoch again, and he brought out his sword, trying to slice me, but I deflected it, and punched him again. They continued running, and made it to the RV, only to be ambushed by Forever Knights, and they took the mask.
Forever Knight 1: "We got it! We must go to Lord Enoch!" Enoch was tossed out of the building, and he slammed into the ground.
Forever Knight 2: "Lord Enoch! What happened?"
Enoch: "He's gotten skilled with the Omnitrix…" I as Metrion, got out of the building by phasing through it. I saw that a knight was holding the mask, and I grabbed it with my telekinesis, pulling it towards me.
Metrion: "Nice try, Forever Knights." I went XLR8, and ran over to Ben, Gwen, and Max, who were getting up from the ground, because they got knocked out.
XLR8: "You guys good? I got the mask back."
Ben: "Yeah."
Max: "Go Upgrade, quick!" I gave him the mask, and went Upgrade, and merged with the RV again, but Enoch shot a shocker thing at me before I could take off, and I was stopped, and I separated from the RV, incapacitated.
Upgrade: "Ouch…"
Enoch: "Into the RV! Take the mask!" They charged through the open door, and managed to take the mask back, and got away in the getaway car. I went Chromastone, and sent the shock into the Earth.
Chromastone: "They are not going to get away with it!" I went Jetray, and took off, while Max started up the RV, and drove towards the car.
Jetray: "Time to make my move!" I shot my eye beams in front of the car, and the RV, with its ramming bumper, hit the back of Enoch's car.
In the RV…
Max: "I need to gear up." He put the RV on autopilot, and walked into the bathroom.
Ben: "Grandpa?" Max closed the door, interrupting Ben.
Gwen: "Guess when you gotta go, you gotta go…"
I was still outside, shooting down eye beams.
Enoch: "Deal with that Aerophibian pest."
Forever Knight: "Yes, my lord." He pulled out a gun, and pushed down the window, and started shooting at me. I dodged the shots, and shot back, destroying the gun.
Jetray: "That's enough of playing chicken! Going in hard!" I went Diamondhead, and slammed right on the top of the car, and started digging in to the top of it.
Enoch: "Stop him!"
Forever Knight 2: "Yes my lord." He stepped out to the top of the car with his magnetic boots, and started swinging his sword at me. I deflected it, planted my feet into the car's roof, and shot diamond shards into his face, stunning him, then walked towards him, and punched him off of the car, sending him falling off of the bridge we were on. Max had then gotten out of the bathroom in his Plumber's suit, and went out of the RV, seeing me on top of the car.
Max: "I'll get the mask. You take the RV."
I went Upgrade.
Upgrade: "Got it." I merged with the RV, and started turning it around and around. Max jumped onto Enoch's car, got in through the roof, and swiped the mask. Enoch had tried stabbing at him with his sword, but that had failed. Max ran back to the RV, and took control of it, then handed me the mask as I split from the RV, and reverted to normal.
Kyle: "Why does Enoch want this so badly?"
Max: "It's the key to the Sword of Ekchuah, the ultimate weapon."
Kyle: "Sounds like something I could use."
Max: "This is not a toy, Kyle. It could end the world in one swipe if you swung it as Humongousaur hard enough."
Kyle: "Wow. I can see why Enoch wants it so badly."
Ben: "And we need to get to it before he does, right?"
Max: "Right."
Kyle: "Gwen, hold this." She grabbed the mask, and I went Upgrade again.
Max: "No! Too risky! We need to get over there without Enoch noticing."
Upgrade: "Aw man…"
Gwen: "This is a radar to it, right?"
Max: "Yes. Why?"
Gwen: "I have an idea." A few minutes later, I was on a flying disk I made as Metrion, and Max, Ben, and Gwen were riding with me.
Metrion: "Won't a black flying disk give us away?"
Gwen: "Have a better idea?"
Metrion: "Actually, yes." I went Visor, and created a clear flying disk under us, then built a cloaking field around all of us.
Ben: "So, how does this help?"
Visor: "I made a cloaking field that is invisible to the human eye. Enoch and his goons can't see us."
Max: "We'd better hurry. Land us right here." We landed right next to Enoch's helicopter, and I kept the cloaking field around us on as we went to a new side of the Mayan pyramid. I brought it down when we were out of view from him, and changed to normal.
Kyle; "What's our next move?"
Max: "We find a secret entrance to the temple. There always is one."
Gwen put the mask on.
Max: "Gwen, now is not the time to play Halloween."
Gwen: "Maybe this can help us find it, too." She found a brick that was glowing on the mask's point of view, and pushed it, making a doorway, leading to some stairs.
Ben: "Cool, Gwen."
Gwen: "Girls' intuition, what can I say? You three would be helpless without me." We walked in, and continued down the staircase.
Max: "Be careful the Mayans knew very clever ways to…" A step cracked that I stepped on, and the whole place rumbled.
Gwen: "Set booby traps!" I went Stinkfly, and grabbed Ben and Gwen, and was about to grab Max, until he used his jet shoes to fly down to a new corridor.
Stinkfly: "That was close!"
Max: "Good job, Kyle. Saved the mask." He snatched the mask away from Gwen and took it himself.
Gwen: "Thanks a lot, Grump-Pa!" We continued on through the chamber while I reverted to normal. Later, we found the door leading to the sword.
Max: "This is it." He set the mask in, then Ben, Gwen, and I got snatched by some Forever Knights, and Enoch was seen by Max holding a torch.
Enoch: "Hand us the mask, Max Tennyson, or your children here get it." Max was about to attack them, but he stopped, and put his hands up, later showing us tied by our hands, and Max wasn't wearing his boots or gloves anymore.
Kyle: "Wow, Max. All you cared for was the mask…"
Enoch: "Silence, you fools!" I shut up.
Enoch: "What we have you in front of is the bottomless pit of despair, where the Mayans would execute their criminals. Let us see if it IS bottomless!" He pushed me down, then Ben and Gwen, and finally Max.
Enoch: "At last! The Sword of Ekchuah is mine!" They ran in only to be stopped by a giant creature. Meanwhile, we were still falling.
Kyle: "going hero!" I went Fourarms, grabbed the edge of the hole, and grabbed Ben, Gwen, and Max, then climbed my way back up.
Max: "Good. Now let's get in there."
Fourarms: "Wait a sec, Max! Ben and Gwen need a breather!"
Max: "You don't know how powerful this sword really is, do you?"
Fourarms: "We KNOW how important it is, and some other things here that are important, like your grandkid's lives, Max! Do you?" He stopped to think, then realized what the jerk he became was.
Max: "I'm sorry."
Fourarms: "Whatever." I set both Gwen and Ben down, and they woke up, while we looked into the chamber.
Max: "They're trying to get it, still."
Gwen: "Who's the big guy?"
Max: "Ah Puch. The Mayan God of the Underworld."
Fourarms: "And he was sentenced to guard the sword, eh?"
Max: "Yes."
Ben; "Kyle, you distract him. Grandpa, Gwen and I will get the sword."
Fourarms: "My thoughts exactly." They ran in, and while Ah Puch tried to attack them, I rammed him in the side, and sent him flying into a wall. He got out, and roared at me.
Fourarms: "Want some more?" I gestured 'come on' and he charged right at me, while I charged at him. He was about to smash me into the ground, but I went Big Chill, and phased right through him, freezing him solid. He broke out, and hit me, and I became Cannonbolt, then rolled right into him, bounced back off, and went XLR8, and started kicking him in the face until he grabbed me. I went Wildvine, and stabbed his hand with my thorns, and walked behind him, and clobbered him as Heatblast with a fireball. I then went Swampfire, and charged for him. He grabbed me, and slammed me into the ground. I wrapped all around him as a vine, then punched him in the face, and went Atomix, then shot him with a radiation beam. I went Fourarms again, and socked him straight through the wall. He grabbed me, and tackled me into the wall right behing him, and I slammed all four of my arms into his face, and punched him back up, clobbered him in the face, and charged right into him, sending him flying into another wall. I then went Frostbite, and tried to freeze him down, but he busted out, and I grew two ice swords out of my arms, and started slicing away at his head. He grabbed me, then I went Swampfire, burned the ice, and threw the water in his eyes, stunning him. I then went Diamondhead, and tried to imprison him in a diamond prison, but he busted out, grabbed me, and slammed my face into the ground. I became Ghostfrerak to not take the impact, then phased through the ground. Max was running up while triying to get the Forever Knights away from the sword. Ben punched one, and Gwen kicked one off the stairs, while Enoch was ahead, about to grab the sword, when Max threw his bolos at him, tripping him. Ben and Gwen then drop kicked him, and Max tossed him off the staircase, and threw bombs down at him. Ah Puch punched me as Fourarms into the stairs.
Fourarms: "Gotta keep the fight away from the sword!" I went Humongousaur, then grew to 30 feet, and charged right at Ah Puch, and slammed him into the ground, Broly from DBZ style, and continuously slammed him with punches. Enoch managed to climb back up the stairs, because some knights distracted Max, and I used a Humongoslam on Ah Puch to finally knock him unconscious, while I tried to grab the sword myself. Ben and Gwen were catching up to him, but they were punched aside by Enoch on the way, up, which made me mad, and I RAN for Enoch instead of the sword, then grabbed him.
Humongousaur; "How dare you do that! I will kill you!" I was about to slam Enoch into the ground face first until a Knight threw a blinding light grenade at my face. I dropped Enoch, then was backing up.
Humongousaur: "Can't see… Oh…" Enoch was climbing up the stairs, then some knights grabbed Ben and Gwen.
Max: "Kids!"
Enoch: "I'd worry more about this if I were you, Tennyson." He looked around, and noticed I was still blinded, and looked back at Enoch, then the Knights, and charged at them with his rocket boots, and punched each one, freeing Ben and Gwen, and all three of them together knocked out the knights.
Enoch: "Your choice will cost you dearly, Tennyson!" He picked up the sword, and it glowed, making me gain my sight again.
Humongousaur: "No! Enoch got the sword!"
Enioch: "And now, I will rule the world! And the universe! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Humongousaur: "Not on my watch you won't!" I became Alien X, and my hands glowed.
Alien X: "This is it, Enoch! The ultimate weapon, against the ultimate alien! The Omnitrix, vs. the sword! You and me! Let's do this!" I shot energy beams at Enoch, and while he swung the sword, it crumbled to dust, and then he got hit by my energy blasts.
Alien X: "What the hell just happened?" Max laughed.
Max: "I guess I should've expected that to happen, since the sword is over 500 years old! Ha ha!"
Enoch: "No! My sword! You must have done something to it! You will pay!"
Alien X: "I got this, Max." The temple started to crumble, then I fell to the ground.
Ben: "What's happening?"
Max: "The temple is crumbling! We have to move!" I teleported Ben, Gwen, Max, and I out of there, while Enoch tried to put the sword back together, but the temple crumbled down. When we reappeared, we were outside of the temple.
Alien X: "Wow. That was the ultimate weapon? Pretty lame."
Max: "Ah. I'm in the mood for some dung beetle soup."
Gwen: "Good to have you back, grandpa."
Max: "Kyle?"
Alien X: "On it." I destroyed the helicopter by throwing an energy ring at it.
Max: "Um, why'd you do that?"
Alien X: "So any surviving Forever Knights can't escape this place. And the fact I can teleport us."
Max: "Oh yeah."
Kyle: "On it, again!" I teleported us back to the RV.
Alien X: "There we go."
Ben: "Isn't this the time you change back now?"
Alien X: "Nah. I wanna stay like this for a while."
Gwen: "Okay…"
Alien X: "I never gave this form a chance before. Now that my other personalities are gone, I can do what I want, when I want."
Ben: "Oh boy…"
The End.
