HELLOOOOOOOO! Sorry about that, but here we are with another chapter of Ultimate Lied, and the one I am the most excited for :)
So as I mentioned last time, we are near the end of the story, but there are a few more chapters left...I think maybe...5 or 6 more chapters maybe? Idk...but we're close, I'll tell you that.
To RonaldM40196867: As far as I'M looking...possibly three more.
To the mysterious Mr.E: Well I wanted for Kouta and Lucy to borrow elements from both the manga and anime versions. So Kouta is still unforgiving, but he now notices that he is one of the main causes for what happened to his sister and father.
To keybladelight: I might..I mean it has no other name right? Rather than just the DNA Voice.
To nidaime kiroi senko: He does.
To Mah Paiton: Well from what I'm looking at so far...we are at three more chapters...so yea, 36 :) I rented and played Infamous: Second Son….it was...meh. I like writing Ultimate Lied and Huntsman Knight at the moment. Nope, never seen those. I thought it was interesting, especially with the big vampire woman. What do you mean?
To alwynonlinereading: Not spoiling nothing ;)
To Messiah of Authors: Well let's just assume that Rath went a bit easy, due to Bando being human, besides, Bando is experienced in combat and survived Lucy...so yea...
Anyway, this one is going to be a bit crazy, it might be a bit short, but it will still be a big chapter. So sit back and enjoy :)

Diclonius Institute/Grotto
"Hmm...so you found them then.." Kakuzawa said with a small smirk as he listened to Arakawa's ords. After what she had seen, she went back to tell Kakuzawa what she had seen, and she told him that she had found Lucy and that boy with the watch.
"Yes…" She said with some level of regret. "But sir...I was thinking...that one boy...can't we let him go? I mean...he doesn't seem so harm-"
POW
Arakawa was sent flying back onto the ground from a heavy blow. As she got up groggily, she saw a gun right in her face and saw Kakuzawa, giving her a death glare.
"Are you questioning me, bitch?" He asked, making the woman shake her head rapidly. "Good…you know we need Lucy, and that boy...I want to know just what he really is….he sounds very interesting." He said as he then turned out to the sea again.
"Father…" the sea said as it's eyes looked at him once again. "The time is drawing near…"
Kakuzawa smiled. "Yes my dear….the time is drawing near...and by that time, it will be my time." He said with a smoke as he got out a phone. "Get me Nousou." He said through his phone.
Diclonius Institute/Monitor Station
Inside a small little monitor room, there was a group of men all eating some food.
"So," One of the doctors said. "How's Doctor Nousou?"
"Dining." The other doctor said as he slurped on some noodles.
Dining huh?" Doctor #1 said with a deadpan. "Well, the food he eats is very...unique, afterall." He said.
"I agree," Doctor #2 said. "He eats nothing but candy...talk about weird." Doctor #1 nodded, unaware that someone was watching them from behind a doorway.
"Well at any rate, chocolate is the best." Doctor #1 said with a bead of sweat going down his head. "I meant it just looks-"
"Oh..well, I do apologize for being weird." A soft-spoken voice said to them.
"Oh, shit!" the two doctors thought with unison, and they both turned to him. "Doctor Nousou!" Doctor #1 exclaimed.
Nousou was a man who appeared to be around his 30's, who looked...kinda feminine, his hair was long and was in a ponytail he wore a shirt, and baggy pants that were held by a strong, and he seems to be eating some Pocky from a box.
"Now you really shouldn't make fun of something as delicious as chocolate." He said with a smile. "Chocolate is just...absolutely...tasty!" He said as he grabbed a pocky and licked it with his tongue, he then heard an alarm go off and raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that the alarm indicator?"
"Oh, uh, yes!" Doctor #1 said as he and Doctor #2 turn back to check on what's going on.
As Nousou was eating his Pocky he looked up at the screen. "Huh, today's number is still low, huh?"
"Yes Doctor!" Doctor #2 said. "But it seems like it has something to do with the incubation growth." He said as they all began to look at the screens.
"This too," Doctor #1 said as he was eating his noodles. "It's getting unexpectedly habitual."
"Hmm, that's;s true." Nousou said as he walked over a bit to a screen. "But you need to keep in mind that this is for the sake of the world." He turned back around to see that in front of him...was a former Diclonius….who was skinned alive and was showing nothing but it's ribs, spine, and bones as well from the chest up. "We have a need for these spinal crosses, am I right?" He asked. He then heard a ringing and Doctor #1 answered it.
"Hello?" He asked, he then turned to Nousou. "It's for you, Doctor."
"Hmm? Who could it be?" He asked as he placed the pocky in his smooth and grabbed the phone. "Hello?"
Diclonius Institute/Director's Office
Nousou was now standing in Director Kakuzawa's office, standing on one end, and Kakuzawa standing and looking out the window.
"Nousou," He said, making Nousou look at him. "Pretty soon Lucy will be back in my grasp. Along with that boy in green."
Nousou then widened his eyes with interest. "Well...that's good. But I am still a bit curious about this boy you speak of...I heard rumors but not enough."
Kakuzawa looked over at him. "Well...apparently one of the soldiers had told me that a weird American boy wearing all green had turned into Ultraman...I don't know for sure...but I want to see it for myself."
Nousou..he was still a bit confused, but went along with it as he licked his Pocky. "Ok then ... So, what was it you wanted to call me up for? Just wondering."
Kakuawa signed a bit. "I want to know if the preparations are up and ready. Are they?" He asked.
This made Nousou smile a bit. "Oh, absolutely. But I do wish you could come with me to take a look."
Diclonius Institute/Dungeon
Nousou then brought Kakuzawa down to an area that looked like a dungeon of some kind. "So you see sir, not a lot of people know about this area, especially since it looks more like a dungeon than a lab." As he said this Kakuzawa looked around to see some figures appearing out of small hatches and peering out at them. "A bunch of Sepilets were restrained and brought down here, all of them are...pretty much failures without any humanity left though." He said with a sigh. "But there are four of them who were proven to be successes." He said she brought Kakuzawa over to a nearby wall and opened up a door, and once they both stepped inside they saw four Dicloni resting beyond a wall all of them wearing metal helmets. "These four girls here...they are our Dicloni."
Kakuzawa took a good look at these girls and raised an eyebrow. "Diana, stand up!" Nousou commanded, leading to one of the girls to obey his orders and stand up. "If there were four of them...then Lucy wouldn't stand no chance against them." He said she then took off her helmet and threw it on the gourd, revealing that Diana...looks exactly like Mariko! "These girls here...they are copies of the strongest Diclonius." He said.
"Hmmm," Kakuzawa said as he looked at Dianaa very closely. "These are...copies?"
"Exactly," Nousou said. "We managed to get a sample of Number 35's DNA before you sent her out to recapture Lucy..and the recapture seemed to fail. Now you might be nervous that these copies might be disobedient...but take a look at their foreheads." He said as he brushed Diana's hair and showed a small metallic device on her forehead. "Due to their frontal lobes being cut out, we managed to make these trinkets be equipped with electrical circuits that connect to their cranial nerves, making certain that they are not disobedient to others….and they can't disobey an order...no matter how ridiculous it is." He said with a dark smirk of his own. But his look became one of sorrow. "But it's such a shame...after all, so many Diclonii were wasted just to check this technology out….such a shame."
"Anything to get Lucy back...I guess." Kakuzawa said with a bead of sweat, not really happy with the large amount of Diclonii being used for this.
"But that isn't all," Nousou said to him. "For we added something else into them." He said. "But let me show you. Girls, come to me." He commanded, and then all the girls stood up and looked at Nousou and ran for him. But rather than attack, they all began to get affectionate with him. "WAIT! I DIDN'T MEAN THAT!" He yelled as he girls all went 'Myu, myu.' "KNOCK IT OFF, DAMNIT!" He shouted. But then they all smelled something good and turned to see Nousou Pocky on the ground and all went wide eyed.
They all ran to the Pocky and all began to eat all the goodies and this pissed off Nousou. "HEY! THOSE ARE MINE!" He yelled loudly at them, but the girls still kept on eating, making Nousou twitch his eye a bit, but he then took a quick glance over at Kakuzawa, who was giving him a small, annoyed glare. "Um…*laughs nervously* sorry about that sir." He said sheepishly, making Kakuzawa sign with annoyance.
"Are they really obedient to your orders?" Kakuzawa asked him. Making Nousou nod his head in agreement, but Kakuzawa had a frown on his face. "I don't believe it….you can make anyone stand on their own feet. If they really do listen to you...order them to do something...I don't care what it is!" He ordered.
Nousou...he just looked at Kakuzawa and had a frown on his face. "Alright then...I didn't want any of them harmed...but I guess I got no choice then." He said as he got out a knife and handed it to Diana. "Diana!" He said, making the girls top eating Pocky and look at him. "Take this knife, and stab yourself in the arm with it, now!" He ordered. Dianta then took the blade and just took it to her arm..and stabbed her own arm, she didn't make much of a noise as Nousou smiled and Kakuzawa just looked on. Diana kept on plunging the knife in, until Nousou told her to stop.
And when she did, Diana, who had been holding back alot….then screamed and cried, due to the pain she was feeling, her fellow diclonius all surrounded her and petted her head with worry and comfort. Nousou then gave a regretful look and sighed. "Diana, I'm sorry for saying such a stuoid thing….I'll make sure to get you a snack later on." He said to her as she still cried, he sighed and turned to Kakuzawa and smiled. "Well, now you see sir, they'll obey every order."
Kakuzawa however...he didn't seem impressed at all. "Useless…" He said to him, making Nose look shocked and surprised.
"What?!" Nousou asked with shock. "But didn't you see? They an obey ever or-
BAM
Kakuzawa then shot his own hand with his own gun, making Nousou go wide-eyed. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?" The scientist yelled comically, but his face went quiet as Kakuzawa gave him an angry death glare.
"You want to know why Number 35 lost and disappeared?" Kakuzawa asked heatedly. "Because despite having explosives in her...she lost because that bastard Kurama had shown her affection….same as Number 17!" He then calmed down a bit but his anger still remained. "As long as you give them an order, there should only be an overwhelming case of selflessness..and they shouldn't give two damns about their lives. And if you can't prove it, then this is a waste of time!"
Nousu looked at him and took into what he was saying, he did have a point...somehow. Nousou sighed and looked at the girls. "I understand, sir….let's try something else then." He then looked at Diana. "Diana, take the knife, and pierce your heart!" He commanded, making the girl stop crying and look on at him. "That's an order!" He said with sternness. Diana sniffled a bit as she then picked up the knife and placed it to her heart area without hesitation. After a few seconds, she then pierced her heart with the knife, and when she did…
BOOM
Her heart exploded and blood was splattered all over the floor, and she fell down, lying dead, with blood oozing out on the ground. Nousou looked on...but he didn't really seem too happy at all, was it because his project was ruined? Was it because he felt something for the girl? Who knows….and the others just looked on as well, as a tear went down Diana's lifeless corpse.
"Is that good enough..?" Nousou asked him, stern, but his voice had a remnant of regret in it.
Kakuzawa sighed and nodded. "Yea...I guess." He said as he turned his back. "Anyway, I just gotten word from that slovenly woman...she has given me Lucy's location." He said, making Nousou look at him with shock. "I want you to get those girls ready...because we are going to recapture her in no time….and along with that boy.." He said as he walked away.
"Yes, sir." Nousou said as he then looked back at the girls and sighed as he knelt down at Diana's corpse. "You did good, Diana." He said softly as he got out another pocky stick from his pocket and placed it in his mouth. "But no worries, your hearts can be substituted…" He said as he smiled at the lifeless body.
As he was walking, Kakuawa had a dark smile on his face. "Lucy, you and that boy...you'll both be mine.." He thought evilly. "And one I got you….I will finally reclaim this world...and no one will stop me."
Maple Inn
A few days has passed since that day..the day that Lucy had revealed herself to the others. But after she fell asleep that night, Lucy had gone to sleep and you had reawoken. But today was a special day, why? Because today was the day that Nozomi is mostly like you get a letter, a letter to accept her into a music school.
Life around Maple Inn has been a bit….off a bit, of course everyone was anxiously awaiting what would befall onto Nozomi, but at the same time, the revelations they all went through were still taking some time to process.
Nyu in particular, she knows what happened and was kinda blocking some people out for a while, but Ben and Nana were the main ones trying to get her to speak. And they were going to do that today.
"Nyu...please talk to us." Nana said to her, but Nyu wanst answering them, she was sitting in her futon and looking away. "Nyu...you know we don't see you as anything other than our friend." Nana said, trying to get her out of her funk, but to no avail.
"Nyu, please!" Ben said to her, now practically begging her. "I know you see yourself as a monster, but you aren't one, you seriously aren't!" He said.
Nyu then looked slowly at him and got up, her eyes all red and puffy from crying and stuff like that. "But why…" She asked him in a soft and upset voice. "All the people that died...because of what I-my other half did….does that mean I'm like her too?"
"You aren't, Nyu!" Nana said. "Only Lucy killed those people, and even though she was a victim, you both have that voice in your head forcing you to do those killings!" Nyu looked over at her and wiped away her own tears.
"I know…" she said as she sat down a bit. "Whenever I fall asleep, and my other half come up...that voice...I see her...feel her….I feel bad stuff when she is speaking to me." Nyu said with fright in her, she began to tremble a bit as she then noticed Ben and Nana both getting on the futon and sitting next to her. "I'm terrified….terrified that she is going to kill all of you." She said with fright in her voice.
"We know...but we have a plan." Ben said to her. "We are going to get a machine that will allow me to go inside your mind and one I get in there, I am going to take down that voice in your head." He said as he grabbed her hand and held it gently. "I am not going to let that voice ruin you or Lucy's life anymore….I won't let it happen.
"But...what about that awful place you both talked about, the facility?" She asked him.
"We are all going to raid it, and once we do we are going to take down the man in charge over there, and rescue all the other Diclonius that are trapped in there." He said to her, now Nana was also holding onto her hand. "Listen...I'm not giving up on you, not you, and not Lucy...I'm going to save the both of you."
"Count me in too!" Nana said to him. "Ben...you're my big brother and you're one of the most amazing people I know...and I know you could possibly handle it all….but I want to help...please let me help." She begged him, Nyu turned to look at Ben, who looked at Nana for a few minutes..and then he sighed a bit.
"Alright...but be careful." He said to her, making Nana smile and nod her head.
Nyu looked at the two figures sitting right next to her and she began to tear up right then and there….she was truly happy to have people who won't abandon her at all. Nyu then lunged at Ben and hugged him with all her might. "Thank You...so much!" She said with teary eyes as Ben hugged her back, and Nana oine in as well.
"You're welcome." Ben said to her with a warm smile as the trio kept hugging.
Downstairs, Kouta and Yuka were making some dinner, in preparation that Nozomi would get her letter today. As they were cooking, there was a bit of tension in the air. For the past few days, Kouta's feelings for Lucy have been….very questionable lately, and he has been talking to Yuka a bit more.
"Hey, Kouta.." Yuka said to him. "Are you sure? About letting her stay here? Even after what she did?" She asked him calmly.
Kouta looked at her, and then down as he sighed a bit. "I mean….I don't know...I mean I can't forgive her for what she did to Kanae or my dad….but I am also responsible for it. If only I told her the truth...then maybe things would've turned out differently." He said as he kept on chopping up some vegetables, the memory was still on his head and feeling ashamed for it.
Yuka….she had some mixed feelings as well, her mind went back to that day and she realized how much of a pain she was being, it made her guilty. "Kouta...I'm sorry." She said to him, making him lookat hr and raise an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"For acting the way I did." She said to him. "Back then, I realized that I was being nothing but annoying….I shouldn't have been so...so…" now she was on the verge of tears, the thought of guilt coming up to her, but then Kouta stopped cutting and went over to grab her hands.
"Yuka...I remember that you were a bit of a pain….but it was mostly my fault." He said. "I'm the one who caused this to happen, and all because I didn't want to hurt her feelings or yours either." He said with a soft sad tone in his voice. "It was all my fault it happened….I bet Kanae and my dad are ashamed of me right now." He said as he looked down and tried really hard not to cry, but how could he not? At that moment Yuka went over and grabbed him and hugged him tightly.
"Don't cry, Kouta….please." She begged, but she too was crying, her attitude for years ago on her mind and it made her cry as well. The two cousins just stood there and hugged each other crying into each other's arms.
Meanwhile, Nozomi was a bit nervous about today, she knew that a letter would come today, but would it be accepted? Rejected? It was making her a bit nervous, but she was trying really hard, lessening her bladder to explode…
"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Nozomi turned to see Kevin, who was simply walking by.
"Oh...Kevin…" She said shyly as she turned away. Kevin took notice and raised an eyebrow.
"What's the matter with you? You have to use the restroom?" Hre asked, making Nozomi give a small 'Eep' and turn.
"No, it isn't that at all!" She exclaimed. "I'm just a bit….nervous as all. I mean, my whole life I wanted to be a good singer like my mom….and I'm a bit nervous because I don't know if I've been accepted into the school, or not." She said with nervousness.
Kevin looked at her and she was right, she was a nervous wreck about it, Kevin noticed this and sighed a bit. "Ok, girlie, just take it easy before you wet yourself again." He said to her, making Nozomi blush out of embarrassment. "Look, just try to take it easy and relax. It can go either way, if you get in, great. But if not, then you can always try again. It ain't the end of the world you know." He said to her. Nozomi looked at him, and backed down a bit.
What he said..it made her not worry...at least for a little bit, she was still nervous, but she wasn't going to let it affect her today, not at all. "R-right...I'm sorry...I guess I was a bit nervous." She said to him.
"Meh it's alright." He said to her. "If you don't get it, don't let it affect you alright? We all know you can sing great." He said with a small smile, and Nozomi blushed slightly.
"R-right." She said as she then walked away, leaving Kevin alone, and he didn't notice Gwen waking up behind him.
"Awe, Kevin, I didn't know you were such a softie." Gwen teased a bit, making him glare at her a bit.
"Give me a break!" He said to her, making her giggle and laugh a bit.
On the outside, Bando was smoking a cigarette as he was looking up at the sky, the sun beginning to go down and sighed a bit. "Who knew that after a year and half, I would find out a whole bunch of shit about that horned bitch." He thought. "I mean I feel bad for her for what happened to her..but no way in hell am I going to forgive her for my eyes and arm!" He then took another drag from his cigarette and blew it in the air as he looked up.
"Well...I guess staying with these people beats living in a small ass shack on the beach." He thought as he sighed, but then he took a notice of something. He spotted a few airplanes in the air and took notice of them. "The hell?" He asked as he saw the flying crafts comin much closer, then a few of them were beginning to get a bit closer to the house, alarming him. Bando took a quick glance up at the helicopters to widen his eyes. Those were soldier helicopters, and it doesn't take a detective to know where those choppers came from. "Oh shit!" He exclaimed as he threw his cigarette away and made a dash for it back at Maple Inn in a panic.
In the helicopters, Nousou took a look at the house below and smirked. "Well, this appears to be it." He said with a smile, let's drop off here and take Lucy and that boy!" He ordered as he and the other helicopters begna to lower a bit for the others to drop off.
Meanwhile, Bando ran back inside. "OI!" He hollered loudly. "GET IN HERE, NOW DAMMIT!" He shouted, making everyone drop what they were doing and all rush in. "Those bastards from the Institution are here!" He exclaimed, making others get alarmed.
"Seriously?" Ben asked with wide eyes, making Bando nod his head. This alarmed everybody, but Kouta was stern.
"No one is taking Nyu from us!" He exclaimed.
"And they won't have to, dammit!" Bando exclaimed. "But we need to come up with a plan before they get here!" He looked at Kouta. "You, get the horned girl and your other friends and go hide someplace! Me and the others will stay here and take care of the small fry!" He ordered. Kouta looked at them with concern, but at the same time...he had to agree, those guys will do whatever it took to catch Nyu.
"Alright then.." Kouta said reluctantly as he turned to the rest. "Let's get out of here."
"No!" Nana said to him, "If you want to go then fine, but not me, I'm staying and helping!" She said to them. Kouta and the others looked at her with shock and surprise, she really wanted to stay? "All my life, I was in that horrible place, but Papa was the only one who ever treated me with kindness….and this place is my home….everybody here, I care about with all my heart and soul." Nana's first then trembled. "AND I REFUSE TO LET THOSE BASTARDS TAKE ANYTHING ELSE FROM ME!" She shouted with much rage and tears threatening to spill.
Everybody was looking at the girl with shock and surprise, never did they see the normally kind girl blow up like that before.
"Damn kid…!" Bando said with shock. But he quickly shook his head. "But still there's no time, you all need to-"
SMASH
At this point, the soldiers then broke inside the house, all of them armed to the tooth and nail with guns. And everyone was completely surrounded by them. At the front, Nousou was among them, with a pocky in his mouth and having a smile on his face.
"I have some questions for you a lot," He said as he chewed on the pocky he had. "And please answer with honesty, any resistance...will be met with consequences." He said with a smirk
"Shit…" Bando, Ben, and Kouta said in unison.
(Eyecatch featuring Ben standing in the middle, with Lucy and Nyu with him. Nyu on his left side and holding onto his arm and smiling, and Lucy on his right side with her putting a hand on his shoulder with a solemn frown.)
(Eyecatch featuring Kouta and Yuka standing back-to-back.)
Ben, and the others were now staring at the soldiers hard, Max had wanted Yuka and the others to scooch back a bit as tension was rising up.
"Sorry to interrupt with whatever it was you were all doing." Nousou said with a smirk ."But there are a few certain people we are looking for." He said she took a bite out of his pocky. "Also, we have the entire area surrounded, so don't try anything funny, alright?" He said with a cheerful tone, bit Ben could see that he was being smug about it. Nana took a glance at the girls in front of Nousou and widened her eyes.
"Those girls…" Nana thought. "Are they even Diclonius? I can't feel their presence.."
"Listen buddy," Ben started. "You don't know what you-
COCK
Ben was immediately met with a gun by a woman who looked to be around Nousous age, she had blond hair in a ponytail and was wearing all black and had a frown on her face. "Nousou, are you blind?" She asked him with a low voice, making the man looka there. "Do you not see?" She asked as she roughly grabbed Ben's arm and showed it, revealing the Omnitrix. "We got the foreign boy with the weird looking watch." She then turned her attention towards Nyu, who was now being held back by Yuka, "And look over there!" She said. Nousou then turned his attention from Ben to Nyu, and when he did, his eyes widened with glee.
"Perfect…" He said with a grin. "Cynthia, go and se-"
"Wait!" He then looked at Ben, who was still beginning to hold tightly by the sharply dressed woman. "Listen to me, you don't understand!" He tried to say, but the woman held him tighter. "Ow, hey, easy on the grip lady!" He snapped.
"You are to be silent." she said to him. "The chief of the Institute has given us orders to have you and Lucy captured at once." She said, making Ben and the others gasp a bit. Kakuzawa..wanted him? Lucy was one thing, but they now wanted Ben?
"Huh? Why me?" He asked with curiosity. Nousou smiled and walked towards him.
"Well you see, Chief Kakuzawa has ordered us to capture not only Lucy, but also a boy wearing a weird-looking watch. We aren't really sure as to why he wants you, but we won't disobey his orders." He said as he took another thing of Pocky. Ben then widened his eyes, how did they find out about him? Did someone squeal? This was not looking good.
But Ben was not a bit intimidated though. "Listen, I don't know why your boss wants me, but you need to listen, Lucy isn't-" but he was stopped by Nousou who put his finger to Bens' lips.
"Now, now, now. No need to fret, but I'm afraid that we must take Lucy with us as well." He then looked at one of the clones. "Cynthia, stabilize Lucy." He commanded, and then, the horned girl used her vector to push Nyu back up against a wall and begin to choke her.
"NYU!" Some of them yelled, and when Kouta saw this he immediately got angry, he pushed out of Bando's way and angrily ran right into Nousou, and they both went tumbling backwards and Kouta grabbed onto Nousou and glared at him.
"Let her go now!" He exclaimed. "And tell your friend to let Ben go as well!" He said to him, but Nousou...he was not intimidated one bit.
"Cynthia!" He ordered. "Knock him back!" And on his orders, Cynthia used her vectors to slam right into Kouta, knocking him into Yuka and the other residents of Maple Inn.
"Kouta!" Nyu said with worry as all of a sudden, she was immediately grabbed by a group of armed men. "LET ME GO!" She screamed.
"NYU!" Ben yelled as he tried to get her, but he was reprimanded by some soldiers as well, and punched in the gut, hurting him tremendously. More soldiers were entering the place as the captured Nyu was being restrained and taken to a helicopter outside. And now it was total chaos. Kevina nd Gwne knew what they had to do.
Gwen then got angry and her hands glow purple, and she then hurled a projectile into some soldiers, surprising them all.
"What the hell?" One of them said.
"That's it!" Nousou said as he got up and was about to head on back to the helicopter with Nyu, the clones, and the mysterious woman. "Kill them all!" He commanded, and the soldiers all got their guns out.
Ben saw that Nyu was being escorted away and got angry. "Don't you dare…..TAKE HER AWAY!" He shouted as he then activated hsi Omnitrix in front of them all. "You want us? Then try to take us!" He said as he then slammed on the dial of the Omnitirx and was engulfed into a bright light. When The light faded, he was now replaced by a small creature of white, he had a square appendage that looked like an MP3 player on his back with a port. Had green small holes on his hands, and had green eyes and a mouth, and the Omnitrix dial on his chest. Ths was Echo Echo, the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Sonorosian.
The soldiers were all shocked. "Try to capture him!" One of them said as they all got their guns ready. Echo Echo smirked and began to duplicate himself into thirds.
"If you think." Echo Echo #1 said.
"That you can defeat us." Echo Echo #2 said."
"Then you thought wrong." Echo Echo #3 said. And with this, the three of them opened their mouths to unleash sonic screams, knocking all of the soldiers back a bit. Some soldiers tried to shoot it, but were stopped by Gwen, who used a force field around the small Sonorosian.
Kevin then coated his body with stone and he began to fight a large mass of the soldiers, the bullets having no effect on him and he began to take them down one-by-one, Gwen did the same and it was an all out fight.
Max and Bando were protecting the others, who were watching and were shocked.
"Wow…!" Nozomi said with awe and amazement at seein such strength and powers from Ben And his friends. Yuka was just as shocked and so was Kouta. Nana however did not like to be let out, she was ordered by Bando to stay there. But everyone else though was just so amazed, at it all.
Nyu, who was still being held off, was just as amazed by seeing them all fight for her. "Ben...please save me!" She thought. Nousou and the woman were looking on, but Nousou seems to be the only one interested in Ben.
"Hmm..this boy...I wonder if Kakuzawa would let me experiment on him.." He thought as he took another pocky and put it in his mouth, and his eyes landed on the Dial on one of Echo's stomachs. "That Dial...I wonder…" He thought.
BAM
There was a loud gunshot and everyone stopped fighting as they all turned to see the woman pointing a gun right at Nyu's head, the horned girl scared with fright as the Mariko clones were surrounding her. The Echo Echo's hit their dials and turned back into Ben, who was now staring at the woman with anger.
"Listen up!" She said to them all. "You make more moves, and this girl is dead." She said.
"Yukino, are you insane?" Nousou asked. "The Director wanted her alive!" But Yukino did not respond.
"You, boy." she said to Ben. "You are to come with us at once!" She said to him. Ben was now in a dilemma here, if he were to refuse, they might kill Nyu and the others, but if he were to go….he could possibly find out where the boss is...anyway, he had to do it...for everybody there.
"Fine then," Ben said, much to the shock of the others. "But before you take me and Nyu away...I have something to show you." He said to them, some were confused, but You seemed really interested.
"We don't have time for you-"
"No!" Nousou said to Yukino, "let him show us, I am very excited to see how that thing works in full circle." He said. "And plus, I wonder if he could be useful for testing." He said to her. Yukino sighed a bit and the clones? They didn't really say anything.
Ben looked at him with a short glare. "But you might need to get Nyu away...because the thing I'm going to show you might get her and I don't want her to get involved in the flash." He said, Yukino got a bit suspicious, why did he ask that?
"Hmm...alright then." Nousou said as he ordered one of the soldiers to take Nyu and hold her tightly in their arms. Ben then looked there and back at Yukino, Nousou, and the clones.
"I need to play this smart." He thought. "I could possibly use Pesky Dust to put them to sleep, but we need to get some answers from these people."
Nana herself was also trying to think of a strategy. "If Ben turns, then I could just use my vectors to knock them all out, and I can use them to destroy the soldiers' guns as well...hmm, I need to play this smart."
Ben then activated his Omnitrix and began to scroll through it to try to pick the right alien. "Ok...maybe I can use Big Chill to freeze them solid…" He thought. "Or I could possibly go XLR-8 and disable the guards quickly and grab Nyu, just like with the incident with Mariko." He was now getting a bit nervous, but then decided to remain calm, and landed on Big Chill. "Ok Ben...stay calm." He said as he then pressed on the dial and he was engulfed into a bright light.
When the light vanished Big Chill was snowing in his place, this brought shock to the soldiers and Yukino, but the clones didn't say anything, but Nousou? He was amazed. "Wow!" He said with glee. "So amazing, such perfect detail! You will make an excellent test subject!"
"Hmm, sounds interesting." The Necrofriggian said with a smirk. "But how about I freeze your bodies first!" He said as he then unleashed hsi ice breath at the ground, freezing Nousou, Yukino, and the clones together until their heads were the only one's not frozen. "Nana, now!" He said as Nana then used her vectors to knock out all the soldiers and fling them away into the walls.
Nyu saw her chance and she used her foot to stomp on the soldier holding onto her and she quickly made a dash for it.
"Lucy is getting away, shoot her!" One of them said as he cocked their guns and pulled the triggers.
"NYU!" Everyone screamed as Nyu screamed in fright.
Few seconds later…
Nothing happened, Nyu still had her eyes closed, but the bullets were still ringing, but she didn't feel anything. She slowly opened her eyes to reveal that some kind of force field was surrounding her and blocking the sight shocked her.
"Is...is it,"
"Yes it is." A familiar solemn voice said in her mind. A voice that made Nyu look surprised. "Just keep calm, ok? Ben And The others will help us out of all this mess." Lucy's voice said to her calmly. Nyu looked out to see Gwen and Kevin taking on more soldiers and nodded her head slowly.
BAM
Big Chill was sent back by a vector punch from Cynthia. Nana then took a glance at her. "Diclonius!" she thought as she then used other vectors to go towards the girls and stop their vectors, causing the eagles to immediately cry in pain.
"Girls!" Nousou called out to them.
5 minutes later….
All the soldiers were defeated, just like that. And Nousou, Yukino, and the clones were all frozen in ice, with Ben looking at them.
"Now are you going to stop arguing like kids and hear me out what I need to say?" He asked them, Nousou spit right at Ben, making the boy flinch a bit.
"Don't you dare…" Nana siad in a dark tone, her look speaking of murder, but was held back by Mayu, who had a frim grasp on her wrists. Ben sighed and turned to face Nousou.
"Listen dude, I don't know what your boss has been saying to you, but this is one big mis-understanding." He said to him.
"About what?" Nousou asked him. "The boss wants Lucy brought back to the institute, right away!" He said to him. "She is a monster and she will kill you all! Why are you all quick to defend-
BANG
Bando shot a gun in the air to shut them up. "I swear you are so annoying." He said with annoyance, but Nousou was not intimidated in one bit.
"Listen you idiot!" Ben said to Nousou with an angry tone of voice. "You don't know what is going on.
"Actually Mr. Tennyson, let me explain." Ben and everyone else turned around to see who the voice belonged to, and when they did, Ben was surprised.
"Kurama?" Ben asked with shock.
"PAPA!" Nana yelled happily as she ran over and hugged her father-figure with much happiness. Ben and a few others were very shocked to see him, especially having not seen him for half-a-year. Nousou was very shocked himself and so was Bando.
"What the...where the hell did you come from?" Bando asked with shock. "I haven't seen you in god knows how long!" He said.
Kurama, who was still holding onto Nana looked over at him. "I was….away." He said to them. The clones, despite being in the ice, were looking over to him, and despite the masks, they were all wide-eyed under them.
"Papa?" Barbara asked with a soft tone in her voice. That made everybody look over at her and were shocked.
"'Papa?'" Kouta asked with shock. Kurama then let go of Nana and walked close to Nousou, Yukino, and the clones, he looked down at the clones and back at Nousou.
"Why are these girls calling me 'Papa', Nousou?" He asked.
"Oh really?" Nosuou asked. "You basically disappear for a year and you ask me that?" He asked with shock.
"If I were you, I would answer his questions." Everyone else turned to see Professor Paradox standing at the doorway, with his arms crossed.
"Paradox!" Ben, Gwen, Kevin, and Max said in unison as the professor smiled and waved toe everybody.
"NOW WHO!" Kouta, Nousou, Yuka, and Bando exclaimed comically. Meanwhile Nyu had fallen asleep.
"Hello everybody." the man said to them. "Oh Ben my boy, you should go outside, there's something you need to see." He said to him, making Bena bit confused. "Oh, and take your friends as well." He said.
"Oh...uh...ok then?" Ben said as he then walked away to the outside, with his friends following him.
5 seconds later…
Ben and the others got outside of Maple Inn and were met with a surprise, why? Because there was an entire army of figures in white uniforms that resemble space suites, and they all carried some weaponry and some didn't even look human.
"Hey!" Ben said with a smile as he ran up to them all with a big smile, the members of the Maple Inn however were a bit confused, and Yuka and Nozomi looked a bit frightened at some of their appearances.
"Wh-what are they?" Mayu asked as she was hiding behind Gwen, who simply patted her head.
"Those are Plumbers." she said to the younger girl. "Don't be frightened they're friendly." She said to them.
"We got the word from Paradox and that Kurama guy." Said a wolf-like alien, this was Scout, a Loboan Plumber that was sanctioned at the Anur System in Ben's world. "And after hearing what was going on, we all decided to mount up and raid that entire facility and rescue those girls in there."
"And we get to see that boss guy gets ass handed to him." Said Bryk, a bug-looking alien. Ben smiled at them and saw the ships that were nearby.
"Alright then...wait, do you have any backup weapons to?" Ben asked.
"Yep," Scout said to him. "Paradox told us about some people living here, so we managed to get some extra suites for them to put on and some extra weapons. That is if they want to go." He said. Ben turned to see Kouta, Yuka, Mayu, and Nozomi standing there.
"Guys…" Ben said to them. "We are going to go raid the Institute, take down the boss, and rescue the other girls. If you want to help, then that's good, but if not, then stay here." He said to them. "I don't want any of you to get caught in the crossfire."
Kouta looked at him and down at the ground, he then looked at Yuka, Mayu, and Nozomi and looked at them with solemness, and he sighed.
"Ben…et me come with you." He said, making Ben and the others surprised.
"Kouta!" Yuka then looked back at her.
"Yuka…." He said calmly. "Those bastards tortured Nyu...and Nana as well. I already messed up by lying to her….I can at least make up for it by helping get rid of the place where she was once captured in….besides, after hearing what goes on in there...those girls deserve a better life than being subjected as test subjects." He said with determination. Everyone could see the Kouta meant serious business.
Yuka looked at him and sighed. "Alright then….I...I'll come as well."
"Me too!" Mayu said to them, much to Ben's shock and worry.
"Mayu?" He asked with shock.
Mayu then gave him a determined look. "I want to see that horrible place get what is coming to them, for what they did to Nana and Nyu…" She said in an uncharacteristic angry tone in her voice. "And don't try to keep me out of it Ben, I want to do this."
Nozomi looked at them all, for the time she spent with them. She was still hy, but has since been more confident in herself, she still had her diaper, but she would not let her gdt in her way of being a famous singer like her mother….if her friends were going to fight...then so was she!
"Same here!" Nozomi suddenly exclaimed with a determined look on her face. "For the past year and a half, the people in this house have been so kind to me and they made me feel welcome...all my life I was nervous due to my father….but not anymore!" She said. "If they fight, then I fight too!" She said to them. Ben was looking on at his housemates and was smiling a bit, happy to see that they wish to help him take down Kakuzawa.
"Alright then." Ben said with a smile. "Get these guys in suites and get them some weapons ready."
"Got it," Scout said to him. "And thanks to Kurama, we got suites that are resilient to a Diclonius's vectors, so if they launch their vectors, none of us can be cut by them as long as we wear these suites." The Loboan then turned to some of the other plumbers. "Get these kids in some suits, and once we get there, guard some of them so they don't get shot at!" And with that, they got Kouta and the others ready.
"I know you aren't going without me!" They all turned to see Nana, Bando, and a reawakened Lucy walk out. Making him surprised.
"Nana...Lucy!" Bens aid with surprise.
Lucy walked right up to Ben and had a frown on her face, but the front isn't geared at him, it was a frown of determination. "I wish to rescue my fellow Diclonii….and to see that whole place burn to the fucking ground!" She growled. Ben smiled at her as he turned to Nana.
"Is Kurama going to, Nana?" He asked.
"Papa and that nice Paradox man said that they would catch up." Nana said with a smile. "But I'm going too!" she said with a determined smile. Ben then saw the faces of everyone with smiles on their faces, looks of determination on all their faces. He smiled and raised up his wrist, showing his Omnitrix that was glowing.
"Alright, LET'S DO THIS!" He shouted, making all of them erupt into cheers.
Alright….so that was long, lol. Sorry if it took long, I was trying to see how I could do this without it being a direct copy.
Originally I was going to have Nyu get captured and for Ben to get captured too, but I rewrote it to be different a bit.
So the next chapter will be the raid and things will get crazy! Actually...I think we got only three more chapters left before this story officially ends :)
Anyway's please don't;t forget to read and review, and I will see you all later :)
