Secrets of the Omnitrix Part One
I don't own Digimon or Ben 10
"I hear normal kids normally spend their normal summers at the beach, or the mall. Oh right we were supposed to go the mall today," Gwen said to Max, Ben and Veemon as they were tied up in chains and were hanging above Dr Animo as he messed around with a nuclear reactor.
"Sorry honey. I guess we got a little side tracked," Max apologised to her.
"That is an understatement," Ben stated, down below Animo was walking towards a console and he turned some knobs and a countdown began starting at sixty.
"This nuclear reactor is the perfect way to detonate my DNA bomb into the atmosphere and de-evolutionize the world," Animo said before the door to the large room fell off.
"Took you long enough!" Ben shouted to Feedback who was standing in the doorway.
"Okay Animo, science experiment is over," Feedback told him.
"Fool. In less than a minute the world will receive a science lesson it will never forget," Animo replied. "In the meantime, meet my latest creation," Feedback looked up to see a giant mutated hornet hovering around and it screeched at Feedback.
"Bring it on! I'll zap that bug," she said jumping over the hornet and she fired electricity from her hands at the wasp making it screech as it convulsed from the electricity surging through its body. "Oh yeah, being a hero rocks," she said before the wasp flew towards her, she jumped to the side and shot more electricity at the wasp but she missed.
"Hey sparky! DNA bomb counting down over here!" Ben shouted to her and Feedback sent a blast of lightning at the chain holding her friends up and they fell down and Max fired a grappling hook to the rafters and they landed safely.
"Even you cannot produce enough electricity to short circuit the system," Animo told Feedback.
"If I can't shut it down. Then maybe I can overload it," she replied, she held her hands out and fired a massive beam of electricity towards the machine.
"Dai! You don't know what that will do," Ben warned her.
"It can't be any worse than if I don't do anything," she replied. Electricity started to arc from the reactor and the console and steam shot out everywhere.
"No! You're overloading the system!" Animo shouted at Feedback.
"That's the idea!" she told him as the reactor started to overload and the countdown stopped and Feedback gave a thumbs up to the others. An alarm blared suddenly and Feedback turned around to see the reactor give off a wave and threw her back and the Omnitrix symbol on her chest arched with orange electricity, Max, Ben, Veemon and Gwen jumped behind some barrels as the wave passed over them all. Once the wave stopped everyone looked to see Feedback had turned into Daisuke again.
"You may have ruined my plans again Motomiya! But there is always tomorrow," Animo told her as he escaped on his mutated hornet.
"Daisuke, are you alright?" Max asked her.
"Yeah. Good think I was Feedback otherwise that wave would have scrambled me," she replied as the Omnitrix glowed orange.
"What's with the watch?" Ben asked her and Daisuke looked at the Omnitrix.
"I don't know," she responded. The Omnitrix stopped glowing orange after a few seconds and nothing happened and Daisuke smiled. "Phew, I thought something bad happened to it. Come on, Animo is getting away," she said running off.
"Daisuke wait," Max called to her. "We don't know what has happened to the watch,"
"Worry about that later," Daisuke told him before she turned into Stinkfly before she strangely turned into Wildmutt, then Diamondhead and then stopped on Greymatter. "Huh?"
"I thought that Master Control stopped that," Veemon said.
"I did as well," Greymatter said before she concentrated and turned into Stinkfly.
"Maybe it was a onetime thing," she said before flying off after Animo and his mutated hornet.
"Someday my pet, that snot nosed brat will get hers," Animo promised his hornet.
"In the meantime, here is yours," Stinkfly said spitting goo at Animo blinding him, Stinkfly then rammed into the hornet and spat goo from her mouth and eyes and the hornet screeched as it was blinded and it smashed into a wall and fell to the ground and Animo was underneath it and he struggled to no avail to free himself. Stinkfly grinned before for some reason the Omnitrix turned her back to Daisuke and she screamed before Ben in his Exo-suit flew in and grabbed her and she smiled at him in thanks. Soon the RV drove out of a mountain.
"That was so awesome, what's next?" Daisuke asked.
"Now we do something I want to do," Gwen said.
"Aw man," Ben and Daisuke said together. Soon the group were all inside a clothing store.
"Take that, and that, and this and how about this!" Ben shouted punching at a mannequin making Daisuke shake her head at his actions. "You're going down. Sumo Slammer's Death Blow!" Ben shouted before he slipped and knocked the mannequin over where a woman caught it.
"This is a store, not a boxing ring," she told Ben who pouted and Daisuke laughed at his expression.
"Hey Daisuke, which one do you think makes me look good?" Gwen asked holding up two pairs of jeans, one blue the other grey.
"The blue ones," Daisuke told her and Gwen smiled and ran into the changing rooms. Ben was about to say something but Max covered his mouth.
"Let's not ruin her day," he told his grandson.
"What about my day?" Ben asked. "I'm the one stuck in some dumb mall during my summer vacation," he complained.
"Ben, Gwen just wants to feel normal for a day. Is that so wrong?" Daisuke asked and Ben shrugged. The Omnitrix beeped and Daisuke saw a small section of the dial turn orange, the Omnitrix then glowed brightly and Daisuke was thrown backwards into a stack of clothes that fell on her.
"Dai, you okay?" Veemon in his disguise asked running up to his partner.
"I don't know. What just happened?" she asked looking at her watch. "That's never happened before," a cough then interrupted them and the lady from before was frowning at them and Daisuke grabbed a shirt. "I'll take it," she said quickly. The new moment the doors to the mall were slammed in the groups face.
"Banned from an entire mall, I have never been so humiliated in my life," Gwen said.
"Yes you have. Loads of times," Ben told her.
"By you!" Gwen snapped. "Thanks a lot Daisuke," she said to Daisuke.
"Hey! The Omnitrix acted out on its own, I didn't make it do what it did," Daisuke defended herself but Gwen simply stormed off angry at Daisuke.
"Okay you three, that's enough. We'll all feel better after a good night's sleep," Max said.
"Only if I wake up with a new best friend instead of Daisuke," Gwen said walking back to the RV.
"Oh yeah? Well who needs you!?" Daisuke shouted back at her. Later that night in the RV, Daisuke was asleep in the RV when a bright light shone outside.
"Ugh. Morning already? Someone turn off the sun," Ben moaned.
"It's three thirty in the morning. The sun doesn't come up for another two hours," Max said as Daisuke jumped off her bunk and ran outside to see a large spaceship land outside the RV and Ben, Max, Gwen and Veemon followed her. Someone was seen approaching the group.
"I don't care who that is, but I'm gonna make them think twice about waking me up this early," Daisuke said before something hit the ground just in front of her feet. "Whoa! A Diamondhead shard?"
"That could only mean…." Ben said as a familiar face appeared through the smoke.
"Tetrax!" Daisuke said happily.
"Good to see you again Daisuke," Tetrax greeted placing his fist on his chest.
"Same to you," Daisuke replied returning the gesture.
"We haven't seen you since we took out SixSix and Kraab together in the desert. How've you been?" Ben asked him.
"I've been getting around. I came as soon as I heard," Tetrax explained.
"Heard what?" Gwen asked.
"I picked up the SDM from the Omnitrix," Tetrax told her.
"SDM? Self-destruct mode?" Max asked making Daisuke gulp.
"The Omnitrix broadcasts a signal when it begins it countdown," Tetrax said.
"The watch is going to destroy itself?" Daisuke asked.
"Along with whoever is wearing it at the time," Tetrax said.
"Oh man," Daisuke said.
"So you have no idea what triggered the self-destruct mode?" Tetrax asked Daisuke who thought on it when the reactor sending out the wave appeared in her mind.
"I think so….," she mumbled. "But you know how to fix it right?"
"No. I don't have a clue on how to deactivate the Omnitrix. Only Azmuth would know how to do that," Tetrax explained.
"Who is Azmuth?" Ben asked.
"The rumoured creator of the Omnitrix. Information on him is sketchy at best. No one even knows what planet he lives on," he answered.
"So how can we find him?" Gwen asked.
"On my ship I have the equipment needed to examine the Omnitrix to locate Azmuth's DNA signature…it's like an autograph on his work. Once we have that, we can scan the galaxy until we find him," explained Tetrax.
"How long until the watch self-destructs?" Max asked, Tetrax kneeled down and he took the Omnitrix in his hand as another orange ring appeared.
"Judging by the repetition….less than four earth days," he answered Max. "We better get going, there is no telling who else has picked up on the signal,"
"Cool, I'm going into space," Daisuke said with a grin which made Max, Ben, Gwen and Veemon share a look. A few minutes later Daisuke was dressed and standing beside Tetrax in front of his ship.
"Sorry Max, it would be too risky to bring you in case anyone recognised you from your Plumber days," Tetrax said.
"I understand," Max said.
"Are you sure Veemon can't come?" Daisuke asked Tetrax.
"I'm sorry Daisuke. I know how strong your bond with Veemon is, but we can't risk it," he replied and Daisuke nodded.
"Take care of yourself Dai," Ben told her.
"Hey it's me, what could go wrong?" Daisuke asked.
"Daisuke. I'm concerned you're not taking this seriously like you normally would," Max said concerned.
"I know Uncle Max. I know. It's always serious, and I always win,"
"With help from us," Gwen told her.
"I'll be fine. We'll find Azmuth, he'll fix the watch and I'll be back before you could say double banana split," Daisuke said walking up the ramp with Tetrax.
"Take care of my niece," Max told Tetrax who nodded his head and the ramp retracted and the door closed to the ship.
"Whoa," Daisuke said looking at the inside of the spaceship. "Cool,"
"Yes. It is….cool isn't it," Tetrax asked as both he and Daisuke stood on a platform that lifted up and then it moved across the ground and then up a ramp.
"What's this place?" Daisuke asked as they passed through a room filled with lasers and turrets.
"This is my training room. Need to stay in shape between missions," Tetrax answered as the platform stopped in front of another room. "And that is the hoverboard simulator, it can recreate over one thousand different courses. You're free to use it any time,"
"Awesome. Thanks," Daisuke said and Tetrax nodded, both soon walked off into a large room that was obviously the cockpit. "Whoa. So awesome, it's like a video game," Daisuke said in awe walking towards a seat and something with three yellow eyes appeared and looked at her. "Ah! Living snot!"
"That's my pilot, Gluto," Tetrax introduced the alien to Daisuke who looked at her.
"How you doing?" she asked but the alien spoke in its language which Daisuke didn't understand. "Nice to meet you as well….I think,"
"I trust you know space travel protocols," Tetrax said to Daisuke who looked at him.
"Uh….hands and feet inside at all times?" she asked and Tetrax smirked slightly at her answer. Tetrax's ship the lifted into the sky and it flew off as Daisuke and Tetrax sat in their chairs, the ship then sped off at an incredible speed making Daisuke scream. "So this is what a pancake feels like!" she then flew into the air and she cheered.
"Initiating artificial gravity," Tetrax said and Daisuke fell on the ground.
"Space travel looks so much easier in the movies," she said.
"I hate to interrupt your nap time, but we should examine the watch," Tetrax informed her. Meanwhile in another part of space, a space ship was floating beside another one and a cable attached the two together.
"You ship will be of great use to me in my hunt for the Omnitrix. And when I recover it, I will exact my revenge on the human female who imprisoned me in that accursed Null Void Dimension," the three aliens who owned the ship turned to look at Vilgax who had escaped from the Null Void, Vilgax then pressed a button and the airlock opened sending the aliens out into space.
"Master. We have intercepted a signal. It appears to be from the Omnitrix," a drone told Vilgax showing a hologram to Vilgax.
"The Omnitrix in space? What is Motomiya planning?" Vilgax asked himself.
"Are you sure this is safe?" Daisuke asked Tetrax as she laid down on a steel slab under a large dome.
"Don't worry. I've had dozens of these tests performed on myself and I never felt a thing," he answered her.
"Don't you have diamond hard skin?" Daisuke asked.
"Ah…..good point," Tetrax replied as he put on some gloves and a helmet that covered his eyes. The dome then lowered until it covered Daisuke completely and her pupils shrank. A red light moved over her body and she then saw a hologram of the Omnitrix appear above her, it then was taken apart as Tetrax searched for Azmuth's DNA signature. "I can't find Azmuth's signature anywhere….do you have any ideas on where it might be?" Tetrax asked Daisuke.
"Well, when my dad got my mom a watch for her birthday, he had them engrave writing on the back of it," she answered.
"Of course," Tetrax said, and Daisuke saw the Omnitrix put back together before it turned around and Daisuke saw white dots on the back of it. "Found it," Tetrax said and Daisuke smiled. Soon both she and Tetrax were sitting at a computer in the cockpit. "Now we just search for the being with that DNA composition," he told Daisuke typing into the computer before it beeped. "That can't be right. According to this, Azmuth is on Incarcecon,"
"What's Incarcecon?" Daisuke asked.
"The prison planet," Tetrax answered her.
"The creator of the Omnitrix is inside a space prison? Why?" Daisuke asked.
"Unknown. But it is home to the scummiest of the scum of the universe," Tetrax told her. "Set a course to Incarcecon," he told Gluto who nodded and set a course before an alarm blared. "Security breach lower lever, we have an intruder,"
"Oh great," Daisuke said. Soon she and Tetrax were heading to the lower levels.
"We have to assume the worst," Tetrax said taking out his blaster. "If we split up, we'll find the intruder faster," he said.
"Okay," Daisuke said as she turned into her Cryonite form which intrigued Tetrax.
"You take after your mother more than you think," he told her and Daisuke was confused as the lift reached the cargo bay and Tetrax walked off and Daisuke went another way.
"What did he mean I take after my mother more than I realize?" Daisuke asked herself. "Come to think of it she does have blue eyes and icy blue streaks in her hair, is she like me? No that can't be right," she told herself before she heard a noise and she snuck up and she turned and shot an ice beam out.
"Hey!" a familiar voice shouted and Daisuke saw Ben and Gwen standing to the side.
"Ben? Gwen? What are you doing here?" she asked them.
"We figured you could use backup," Ben answered leaving against a button and an alarm blared as the door to the hanger opened up.
"Ben!" Daisuke shouted as all three of them were sucked towards the door and out to space but Tetrax shot shards at the button and the door shut just as the trio hit the door and Tetrax ran up.
"Ben? Gwen? You're the intruders?" he asked them.
"Sorry Tetrax. We figured Daisuke could use some help finding the creator," Ben replied.
"Is it too late to drop them back on Earth….lie from orbit!?" Daisuke asked as she turned back to her human form.
"Sorry Daisuke, we need every moment the Omnitrix can offer," Tetrax told her before he walked off followed by the others.
