Well…..here we are folks….the final battle...and man am I excited for it :D. So this one is...well, you guessed it, it's going to be the fight between Ben and the DNA Voice, and he is going to receive some assistance, from who? Eh, you'll find out eventually :)
So I Know We're not done yet..but let me tell you guys something...I want to thank you all so much for liking this story and for following and reviewing it, I am very happy that we are at its conclusion after 2 years. A big shout out to all of you, but I will save more of it till the next chapter, where it will be the finale…..seriously :D so sit back, grab the popcorn, and let's view the final battle!
To the mysterious Mr.E: Yea, it happened in the manga. Go to the wiki and you will be shown some info on him.
To RonaldM40196867: Yep she is...sorta. I would say about the same in her base form. Well, Vectoria is about the same height and weight as Lucy.
To keybladelight: No spoilers ;) I don't have plans for a sequel at the time, maybe someday I will, but so far, not really.
To omnimegalander: Trust me, I got the ending planned out already :)
To Mah Paiton Well the Agent was a mole for the Saeba, and her memories were going to be erased by Paradox, so she won't have anything to report to them. Well, it's the manga version, so Idk, the anime changed some things, so I have no idea. I think the reason Kouta acted like that is that, well what would you do if someone killed your family right in front of you, I fi admit he should've listened to her, but still it doesn't change things for him...I wasn't very happy with how the manga and anime made some characters a bit bland...that's why I changed them for this story..or at least I tried to.
To Dracoog101: Yep :)

Maple Inn
Everyone finally made it back to the house with no difficulty at all. The Plumber ships had cloaking devices that allowed them to turn invisible, and Ben turned into Ghostfreak and so they all left with no worry at all. And some were resting a bit.
The Diclonius girls were all being treated for any injuries they received from the harsh torture they had endured, the scientists were being questioned and interrogated, and Kakuzawa was still in chains and whining to be released.
POW
"You talk too damn much.." Bando said to the knocked-out older man. Ben and the others looked over at the sleeping forms of Anna and Ami and gave sympathetic looks.
"I can't believe that bastard tried to make these two part of it all," Kouta said with anger, looking over at Kakuzawa with disgust.
"Well, they are safe now," Ben said to him. "All of them are." He said as he and the rest of the residents were looking at the girls who were being treated for injuries and hugging the kind Plumbers with happy smiles, all their hesitancy and fears were long gone and we're now happy to be with people to treat them with kindness and affection.
Ben also turned to see Kurama in a glomp pile with Nana, Mariko, Diana, Alicia, Barbara, and Cynthia, all of them hugging him with love and affection, being there with their father. Ben looked all around him and he had to smile. Everyone is smiling, and being happy. Even Arakawa was smiling a bit as she was talking with some of the Plumbers.
Ben then took a glance over to where Lucy was at and found out that she was no longer there, he then turned to see the sliding door to the garden slightly open and he assumed that she went out there.
A few seconds later….
Ben then reached the garden to find Lucy sitting right by the fountain, she was on the ground and kneeling as she was also clutching onto her head and writhing in agony. "Lucy!" He exclaimed with worry as he ran over to her. "What's wrong?" He asked with worry.
"It...it's her!" Lucy exclaimed. "She….she….GAHH!" She screamed a bit, making Ben get worried, and got worried even more when she began to shake a bit due to the pain. Kouta and some of the others all ran outside as a result of hearing the scream.
"What's wrong?" Kouta asked with shock and caution, but Ben told them to stay back.
"That voice is here, stay clear!" He warned them all as he then stepped back a bit along with everyone else. Lucy stopped trembling a bit and stood still. Then she slowly brought up her head to face the others, but it wasn't the solemn regretful face of Lucy, or the kind playful face of Nyu….it was the dangerous and evil face of the Inner Voice.
"If you think you can get rid of me that easy, you got another thing coming, boy." She said to him with a dangerous look on her face. The face made some of the people looking frightened and nervous a bit, but Ben? He wasn't afraid and not moving an inch. She then took a good look at the residents at Maple Inn, but mainly at Kouta. "I'm surprised you are still on her side….she killed your sister and father after all."
Kouta however was not intimidated and went up with Ben. "You forced her to do it!" Kouta said with anger and hate in his voice. "But at the same time, I was the one who mainly caused it by lying, and I regret it very much."
"Oh yea, I think I heard it." The voice said with keen interest. "I should thank you. You helped me show her how you humans deserve nothing but death." She said, and when she did, Kouta looked up at her with hateful eyes and a tear went down his face.
"Damn you…" He said as he was about to attack her, but Yuka and Ben held him back.
"Take it easy, dude," Ben said to him.
"But she-"
"I know," Ben said to him. "But let me handle her….trust me, she won't get away with this." He said. Kouta looked at him with anger in his eyes, but he did listen to Ben, and Ben had a point. Kouta didn't have any special abilities or some fancy gadget on his own, Kouta nodded and reluctantly backed off. Ben then glared back at the voice. "So Voice, you want to kill me then try it." He said with confidence. "But not here though."
"Spare me the details." The voice said with annoyance. "I heard about your little plan of going into the girl's mind to face me. So don't you worry a damn thing, I'll be waiting inside for you….and I will admit, I am going to enjoy watching you die in a pool of your blood." She said with a vicious smile. After that, the smile vanished and the face then turned into the familiar solemness again, meaning that Lucy was back, she nearly fell on the ground, but Kouta and Ben quickly ran over and got her before she fell.
Lucy groaned a bit before opening her eyes slowly. "B-Ben? Kouta..?" She groaned weekly.
"Don't worry, we're right here," Kouta said with a calming tone of voice. Lucy looked at them both and got worried.
"You all met her…" She said with some sadness and regret.
"Yes, but no one got hurt," Ben said to her with a relaxed voice. But it didn't help out Lucy though, who gently pushed the boys away and pushed herself off the ground.
"But still…." she said with nervousness. "She wants everybody dead, especially you," she said to Ben, who shrugged.
"What else is new, right?" He asked rhetorically. "Look, I already said, I am not going to let her get away with this, I'm going to take her down."
"BUT HOW!" She suddenly yelled at him. "It's not like you got some kind of fancy monster thing in that watch that can get rid of her!" She exclaimed to him. She wasn't trying to be mad at him, but why was he not listening to her? How could he possibly be able to take her down?
Ben considered her thoughts if the Inner Voice was something in her head...he was wondering if there was any alien in his arsenal that could be able to defeat her...but he did have one though that could do the job….but he wanted to save that one just in case nothing else worked.
"Well, I might have one that could do it…" He said to her, this got her and the other residents of Maple Inn's attention. "Alien X.," He said to her, this made her and others' eyes widen, Alien X? That sounded pretty intense a bit.
"Aline...X?" Yuka asked with widened eyes. "Who is he?"
"Ben's trump card." Paradox explained. "He is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of the Celestialsapien from the Forge of Creation." He then explained about Alien X's powers and abilities, and everyone present was wide-eyed. Ben had something like that in his arsenal?
"Be glad he's on our side.." Kouta said with shock, with others nodding their heads in agreement.
"But he is only going to be a last resort," Ben explained to her. "I'm going to use my other aliens, but Alien X I will only use just in case I have no other choice in the matter." Ben then looked determined. "You can all try to stop me if you want, but I will not fail at doing this, that voice will be going down, I stake my life on it." He said as he then walked to the sliding door and went inside.
Lucy looked at him and looked at him as if he was crazy, but Kevin noticed and looked at her. "Ben's pretty stubborn, so you can try to complain all you want, but he is going to help you whether you like it or not." He said with a smirk.
"Too stubborn…" Lucy muttered under her breath, but she was nervous for him, she didn't want him didn't and she didn't want to be responsible for it. She already had a high murder count on her...she didn't want to add the boy she loved on there as well. Love…..love….did she think about loving Ben?
"Ben...do I….love him?" she thought. "I mean Nyu does…..but do I?" She asked herself. She did begin to develop feelings for him, even way back when she saw him as an enemy….this was a bit to take in, but she couldn't deny it…..she loved him...yes...she did love him!
5 minutes later…
Everyone was now in the dining room section of the inn. The table was removed and in its place was a weird-looking machine that looked like a bed and had some wiring on them though. Ben and the others looked confused as to what it was.
"What's this?" Ben asked with a raised eyebrow.
"This is the machine that is going to let you go inside Lucy's mind," Professor Paradox said to him with a smile. "You see, Lucy will lay down on there, we hook her up to a machine that will put her to sleep, then we connect you to her and you go to sleep, and it will let you go inside her mindscape." As he said this, Ben and the others were pretty amazed.
"And I can use my aliens inside?" Ben asked, making Paradox smile and nod his head. "Well good, so are we all ready then?" He asked, and Paradox nodded his head in agreement.
Paradox then looked at Lucy. "My dear, are you ready to get the voice out of you?" He asked her. Lucy looked a bit nervous, for this was finally going to be it…..to end the years of suffering, the years of manipulation, it was all going to end, here...tonight.
Lucy looked at him, then at Ben, and then at her housemates. She looked determined and looked back at Paradox. "Yes...I'm ready for all of this to be over," She said to him, making everyone present smile a bit.
Paradox then helped her onto the machine and laid her down, now normally, Lucy was not nervous about certain things. But this was different, she was very nervous about being strapped to that machine, it was like being strapped to that large thing back at the Institute, and it was not good at all.
"Don't worry, Lucy," Ben said as he took her by the hand. "You are not in that facility anymore. I am going to be right next to you, I promise." He said with a smile on his face. Lucy couldn't help but blush a bit at feeling his hand on hers and his green eyes looking into her pink ones. Then Paradox laid her down and they strapped something to her head and then got out a shot.
"The strap is to keep the inner voice from trying to awaken, so don't you worry my dear. And the needle will help you sleep." He said, but Lucy snorted.
"I know about those...Kakuzawa's son used it on me." she deadpanned, then after she laid down. She felt the needle go in her arm, it felt like a pinch, but she was able to withstand the pain a little bit. Then she began to feel a bit tired and felt Ben's hand touch hers.
"I'll see you on the other side." He said with a smile, a smile that Lucy weakly giggled day before she finally fell asleep. Afterward, Ben got ready too and he got the same strapon himself as well.
"As we said," Paradox said. You will be able to use the Omnitrix while inside her mind. And due to her mind still being fragile, you might encounter some stuff she has seen before, but please don't be alarmed, I doubt they will be able to hurt you." He said.
Ben nodded his head and got ready as he got strapped as well, and before he got his hair, he looked at all his friends and housemates. "Well, here I go." He said to them all, and they offered him words of encouragement, but two of them had different ways to express it. Nana and Mayu both ran up and hugged him tightly.
"Big Brother...please come back alive," Mayu said with a pleading whisper. "I already lost my real father, and I don't want to lose my big brother either." She said to him softly as he felt a tear or two drips onto his shoulder.
"Same," Nana said to him. "I don't want to lose my big brother either...especially the brother who saved me lots of times." She said to him.
Ben then rubbed them both on their backs gently. "Don't worry, I'll be back, I promise." He said as both Mayu and Nana both walked backward, but both sniffled a bit. Then the shot got injected into his arm, and then….he blacked out.
Mindscape/Orphanage
Ben groaned a bit before he then slowly opened up his eyes to see that he was inside a familiar orphanage. He then slowly got up and looked around his surroundings and breathed a bit.
"Alright Tennyson," He said to himself. "Just got to keep calm and help out Lucy...if I can find her of course." He then began to call out to not just her, but also Nyu as well to see if he could see or hear them. "LUCY! NYU! ARE YOU THERE?"
As he began to explore a bit more, the entire area began to change, rather than the light clean orphanage he saw, it started to contort into a dark image, the walls began to turn red, and the floors..the floors….it began to turn into blood red. Ben was getting a bit creeped out, but he still had to remain calm.
"Just stay calm Tennyson." He said to himself as he had his hand on his Omnitrix just in case. "LUCY! NYU!" He called out again as he still walked down the halls, and as he did he began to see little red stuff on the floors. "Blood…" He thought. He then noticed that the blood was leading into some kind of trail, now he didn't know if it was leading him into a trap or not, but he had his Omnitrix activated just in case.
He then followed the blood into a nearby room, where he came upon a horrific sight. It was those bullies again...those three….disgusting bullies..all laughing over a dead body….the body of a bloody puppy.
"Stupid mutt!" The leader Tomoo said with cruelty in his voice.
"Yea, we fucked it up good." The other one said as it laughed cruelly. When he heard the laughter, Ben then got angry and ran over.
"Get away from the dog you little shits!" He said but before he got closer to them, they looked back at him and to his shock, they looked...different, their eye holes were empty and pitch black, and had blood oozing out of them. The sight made Ben fall back a bit and have his hand over his Omnitrix with nervousness.
"VOICE!" Ben shouted out. "If you think you can scare me like this, then you can forget it!" He called out. Then right before his eyes, the bullies and the puppy all vanished away in an instant. Then the mist formed into the face of the Inner Voice.
"You are going to regret this, human!" She snarled at him. Then Ben got out his Omnitrix and used it to turn into Wildvine and got in a defensive pose.
"If you want a fight, then bring it now!" The Florauna said to her as he then extended out hsi tendrils at the giant face but much to his dismay, the face was not damaged at all and it smirked.
"You are stupid aren't you?" Voice taunted. "The real me is someplace...and I can lead you to me, but I doubt you can defeat me that easily." She said as the face vanished and the scenery then began to change into something else.
MindscapeYuigahama Beach
Wildvine then found himself at the familiar beach. But rather than the sky is clear blue along with the sea. The sky was now all dark and red, and the water was all red like blood. After turning back to normal, Ben looked around and got serious.
"I gotta find Lucy and Nyu….what did Nana tell me?" He asked himself, then he realized. "Yes! She told me that other Diclonius can sense each other!" He then got his Omnitrix and activated it and turned into Vector. Afterward, she then began to close her eyes and begin to see if she could pick up Lucy and Nyu's senses.
"Tennyson," His voice said inside her own head. "Are you sure about this?" She asked him. "I mean, due to me being a part of you, I will be rooting for you either way, but how do you suppose you can take on Lucy's other voice?" She asked
"You mean Voice? I do have a plan on taking her down...and if you are a part of me, you should know about Alien X." Vectoria said, "But as I said, Alien X will only be a last resort, but I need to try, I can't give up now." She said.
"Voice?" Victoria's inner voice asked in an amusing tone of voice. "You seriously named her?"
"Well, what else am I supposed to call her?" The girl asked. "She is an inner voice, so I just figured to call her voice, sue me!" She exclaimed as she blushed out of embarrassment. "You know, I was kinda thinking of getting a name for you as well." She said with a smirk of her own, and if her voice had a face, it would be blushing out of embarrassment.
"S-shut up!" she said with an embarrassed voice, and it sighed. "Alright, now can you sense the others?" She asked her.
Vectoria closed her eyes and sighed as she tried to focus. After a few minutes, she opened her eyes to some realization. "I can sense them...they're nearby," she said as she then made a run for it.
Meanwhile, Lucy and Nyu stood together and were faced with Voice. They stared at the entity that gave them so much shit...shit that they went through for over the years.
"You really think that pathetic boy is going to save you both?" Voice asked them. "Face it, you both need me." She said to them.
"SHUT UP!" Lucy yelled. "I'm not going to listen to your bullshit anymore! You used me for too long! And tonight it ends." She growled through gritted teeth. Nyu was silent for a while now, she was a bit nervous. But she did want to know something.
"Why…?" She asked softly, making the other two look at her. "Why did you do this?" Nyu asked as she began to tremble a bit. "Doing all of this..making Lucy kill Kouta's family….making her take so many lives…..WHY?!" She asked as she then held her head up and had tears go down her face. "Why do all of this?"
Voice just looked at her and smirked "Humans are nothing more but animals to us Diclonius. Do they think they are amazing? They're nothing more but animals and pigs, and you know what happens to pigs? They get slaughtered." She said with a vicious grin. "You made a mistake letting that Kouta boy live that night."
"Shut up," Lucy said but she was ignored.
"You saw him lie to you, and yet you let him live….but you also killed his sister and father as well….and now that one boy…..Tennyson."
"Don't you dare talk about him!" Nyu said angrily.
"Everything was going just fine….and then that human and his fancy watch came here and ruined everything I worked hard on." She then got angry. "He is going to fucking die here and now." She then turned towards the other girls and gave them reassured looks. "I'm going to give you both one chance. Either you accept your destiny and help me eliminate all those pathetic humans, especially that Tennyson boy...or you can just die here as he will."
Lucy and Nyu we're not intimidated in the slightest. "Like hell, I'm going to give into you!" Lucy exclaimed as she then launched her vectors at the voice, who simply dodged out of way and sent her own vectors at the girl. Lucy used some of hers to hold Voices vectors in place and you just stood and watched, not knowing what to do. "Nyu, attack her!"
Nyu looked surprised and shocked. "M-me?" she asked.
"Yes since you are part of me, then you must have vectors as well!" But then she felt herself being lifted off the ground, turns out that the voice was using her one vector to grab onto Lucy's other vectors and lifted and slammed her to the ground, causing pain to her.
"Is that all you got?" Voice asked with a cocky smirk on her face. Lucy got up and hurled some more of her vectors at her voice and they got more and more tangled up together. Nyu was still a bit nervous, she never did anything like this before, but despite such nervousness. She would not let this get in the way….she would fight, for her friends, and for the boy she loved with all her heart.
Nyu then used her own vectors to try to attack the voice, but the voice immediately used her own vectors to jump up in the air. Lucy growled as she looked up.
"You know, you both should've realized that no matter what, you can't beat m-"
POW
Voice was sent flying down on the sand and landed with a big thud. Both Nyu and Lucy looked to see who did it and turned to see a familiar Diclonius with a dial on her chest glaring at her.
"You forgot someone else sweetheart!" Vectoria called out to her as she began to walk forwards. Or...so she tried to. Nyu immediately ran forward and glopped into the girl before hitting the Omnitrix dial and turning her back into Ben.
"BEN!" Nyu cried in happiness as she glomped him and began to smother him with lots and lots of kisses, Ben was blushing up a storm a bit and Lucy...well she looked a bit ticked off at the sight, but she shook her head, knowing that Nyu hasn't seen Ben in hours.
"Hey!" Lucy exclaimed, making Nyu stop kissing Ben, and for the Omnitrix wielder to lookup and look a bit dizzy from the kisses. "Not to break up the reunion, but we are facing something here!" She said. Then Ben gently pushed Nyu off of him and he and her walked up to Lucy and all three of them stared at the voice, who glared at him.
"You're going to pay for this boy," Voice said with pure malice in her voice. Ben rolled his eyes though.
"Spare me the whole speech, I heard it all before." He said to her, making Lucy smirk and Nyu giggle, and for Voice to just look angry. "Nyu, Lucy," Ben said to them both. "If you both want to step back and get a clear distance for her, you can do it and leave it to me."
Both girls were pondering it for a bit, should they let him have all the fun? Hell no! "Hell no!" Lucy said to him. "She is one of the biggest reasons my life has been hell. I know I killed those people, and I regret them every day, but she had manipulated me about it….and she attacked you and Nana at Enoshima a year ago….I'm going to help you and I'm going to take that bitch down."
Nyu looked at Ben and grabbed his hand. "I….you helped me and Lucy out for a year now….and I love you….I want to help out as well….so please let me?" She begged him as she rubbed his hand with her thumb very gently.
Ben looked at the two Diclonii and saw the determination in both of their eyes. They were serious, they wanted to help him out and who was he to deny their request, especially from two girls he loved. Two? Love? Did he really think that? Sure he loved Nyu...but did he begin to develop the same feelings for Lucy as well?
But he quickly shook those thoughts out of his head, now was not the time to think about things like that, now he had to stay focused and take the inner voice down. "Alright then." He said to them both as he faced the voice with determination, and the girls did the same thing as him. "Voice! You think you can take on all three of us?" He then transformed into Vectoria. "Then hit us with your best shot!" And with that, the fight was on.
(Eyecatch featuring Ben standing with Lucy on his left, and Nyu on his right)
(Eyecatch featuring Vectoria, Mayu, and Nana sleeping under a sakura blossom tree. With Nana and Mayu sleeping on the older girl's lap.)
The fight was now on. All Diclonius girls attack each other in a one-on-one fight.
"Take some of this!" Lucy exclaimed as she hurled her vectors towards Voice, who quickly dogged out of the way and hurled her own vectors towards her, but Nyu used her own to grab onto Voices and Vectoria then hurled hers towards Voice's stomach and offed her, causing her to skid back into the sand. But Voice didn't seem injured in the slightest.
"Is that seriously the best you bitches got?" she asked.
"Not quite." Vectoria sid with a smirk as she then pressed onto her dial and was engulfed in a flash of green light, when she did in her place was a large humanoid plant-like creature with a green body that looked a bit viney with black underneath. He had root-like feet and his face looked a bit like a fire pattern, his eyes were green and ovals, and the Omnitrix dal was on his chest, this was Swampfire, the Omnitrix's copy of a Methanosian.
"SWAMPFIRE!" He bellowed loudly into the air. All the Diclonius girls were now looking at the creature, Lucy and Nyu were awed and Voice was just annoyed.
"Oh please," she scoffed. "Just what kind of th-" but she then sniffed a bit and covered her nose. "Oh, what the hell is that smell?" She asked with disgust. Lucy and Nyu also smelt it and they covered their noses as well.
"Methane for you, sister." The Methanosian said in this deep nasally voice. "But enough about me, let's get to you!" He said as he then fired a fire beam at her while she was distracted. As she was too distracted by the smell, she didn't avoid the fire and she was hit, causing her to scream in pain. Now Ben wasn't the one to kill people….but the inner voice was something else….and since she was nothing more than just an entity, he knew it was alright to get rid of her.
"Now how about a little bit of a punch!" Swampfire said as he then morphed into Four Arms and dashed towards Voice, he picked her up and he began to punch and beat her up. He punched her in the face, the stomach, everywhere. Then he picked her up by the leg and he swung her down and basically threw her like a ragdoll.
After a good few minutes, she was down and looked beat up. But she still got back up. "Is that the best you got?" she asked as she then spits out some blood and glared at him angrily.
"I got plenty of surprises." Four Arms aid. "But I don't want to go overboard!" He then pressed on the Omnitrix as he then turned into Swampfire again, but this time he hit it again and turned into something else, this time he resembled Swampfire, but he was bigger, his body was a dark brown, and had three blue glowing shells that had a blue gel-like solution of napalm on his arms and his back, he then had a similar pod on his front where his face is seen and had the Omnitrix dial on his chest, this was Ultimate Swampfire, the Omnitrix's artificial evolution of Methanosian DNA.
"What the hell is that?" Voice asked with annoyance.
"You met Swampfire, now this is Ultimate Swmpfire!" He said to her. "You see, my Omnitrix also has an evolutionary function that can let my aliens evolve into ultimate forms, more powerful than the last." He said,
"Wow, Ben is so amazing!" Nyu said with a flushed face of excitement, and Lucy? Lucy was just more shocked, Ben really was full of surprises. Voice however growled.
"I don't give a damn what you are, I'll make this entire area your grave!" she said as she hurled her vectors at him, but Ultimate U. Swampfire then fired blue flames from his hands and it went for Voice, Voice attempted to block these with her vectors, but unfortunately for her, U. Swmpfire's flames were three times hotter and it burned the vectors right off a bit.
"WHAT?!" Voice screamed as she was then hit by a large burst of fire, causing her to scream in pain a bit, she fell back a bit and grunted in pain. "You stupid freak!" She exclaimed. "You nearly killed me!"
"Well, that's the point!" U. Swmpfire said to her.
"What? Kill me?" Voice asked. "But you're a superhero!"
U. Swampfire sighed and glared at her, he could've turned back right then and there but he wasn't going to fall for a sneak attack. "You're right, I don't normally kill. And some people are capable of getting second chances...but you are different." The evolved Methanosian said to her. "You manipulated Lucy into killing people, people who didn't deserve to die, people who weren't involved in what happened to Lucy or her puppy. And you manipulated her into killing Kouta's sister and father, and for what? Kouta did lie, but he felt bad for it I bet….and you took advantage of her grief and used it. NOT ALL HUMANS ARE BASTARDS YOU KNOW?!" He shouted a bit, counted the area to shake up a bit and the blood-red water to shake a bit.
Voice looked at him for the longest time, almost as if she was listening to him, so did she? She then gave him a wicked grin. "Do I look like I care?" she asked him, much to his shock. "So what if there are a few humans who don't give a shit? I saw how nice that Kouta boy is along with the other dumbasses at that pathetic hovel you call a home."
"Y-you do?" Ben asked. "But why-"
"Diclonius are superior to humans, boy," she said to him. "Humans like you are nothing more than pathetic little animals, we got more power than you could imagine and we are going to rule the entire world!" She then glared at him with a sadistic grin. "You came from another world, right? I wonder….maybe after I kill you, the stupid one and the traitor, I could trick them...and then I could go to your world….and infect others there!" She then got really excited about the whole idea. He goes to Ben's world, infecting all the humans in there and spreading it...all over his world as well.
U. Swampfire was not very happy at what she had said. He doesn't take threats to his home very well. But he realized that he needed to calm down so he didn't do something that Voice would exploit. "What are you going to do about it, boy?" She asked him. "No matter how many aliens or whatever monsters you got, that fancy watch of yours. You'll never get rid of me."
He then looked at her and he had to admit, she was right. Obviously, due to Voice being a part of Lucy in some way...there was no way he could take her down with any of his other aliens….that was when he knew that he had to use his last resort...Alien X. "Actually," He said to her. "I got one finally alien that might be able to take you down."
Voice raised an eyebrow and so was Lucy and Nyu. "Oh? And what is that, may I ask?" She asked him sarcastically.
"Are we going to see….Alien X?" Lucy thought with interest, but Nyu was rather curious as well. But still, she had faith in Ben that he would do U. Swmpfire turned back into Ben, Ben activated the Omnitrix again and scrolled through it to find Alien X.
"Ok, Bellicus, Serena, please let me take control again." He said, he then turned to Lucy and Nyu. "Girls, when I turn into this, I need to speak with two individuals for a bit...can you handle Voice for a bit?"
Lucy and Nyu looked at him and nodded, they weren't afraid of Voice, and they would give her a beatdown themselves if they could. "I'll take her down if you take too long Ben," Nyu said with a big smile on her face.
"I will as well," Lucy said to him with a smile. "Just...please don't be too long alright?"
"I'll try not to be," Ben said to them with a smile as he then looked at Alien X on his dial and he sighed. "Bellicus, Serena...please don't still be arguing with each other please…" He then sighed and slammed on the dial and was engulfed in light. In his place was a humanoid alien that had no features that much, but his entire body was all black with white stars on it, making his body look galactic, but his hands were white and his eyes were green and oval-y, and he had three horns on his head as well and has no visible mouth. This was Alien X, the Omnitrix's DNA sample of the Celestialsapien, a race of omnipotent beings from a place known as the Forge of Creation.
The three Diclonius all looked at the being with shock and awe. Even Voice was looking a bit nervous at him, but she was not nervous at all and growled. "I don't care what weird thing you are, you're going to-"
BAM
Voice was knocked back a bit by a vector punch to the face by Nyu, who glared at her. When she looked at her she glared at the one who punched her. "Don't you dare," Nyu said through gritted teeth. "Lay a hand….on the boy I love.." she growled with anger and hatred in her eyes as she glared at Voice. Lucy glared at Voice as well.
"You're going to pay for ruining my life," she said. "I know I did those things...and I regret them every day...except for the boys who killed my puppy. But those other people...they didn't deserve it. And maybe I won't be forgiven for the things I did….but taking you down might give me some satisfaction." She said and with that, they all fought.
Alien X's Mindscape
Ben found himself floating in a black void that resembled a dark sky with stars in the sky, and he was looking at three large floating heads, two of them were green and the third was a Diclonius head as well. The first green head was male and had a bit of an annoyed look on his face and the green female looked calmer and serene. The Diclonius had a look of pure annoyance from them though, and she resembled Vectoria a bit.
"Oi!" Ben said to them, making the heads look down at him.
"Huh, I get to see you in person for the first time." The Diclonius said to him with an amused voice. "To be honest...I thought you would be a bit more muscular." She said.
"Oh….ok..?" Ben said with confusion, making the girl look surprised.
"Oh, forgive me, I'm the one who is inside you when you are Vectoria, I'm your inner voice per-say," she said with a smile, and this made Ben look at her with surprise.
"Huh, so I guess you ended up in here after I scanned Lucy, huh?" He asked.
"Oh, yea…..and I had to deal with these two arguing about soemthing." She said with annoyance.
"And the horned girl won't even help us reach a decision," Bellicus said with annoyance.
Vectoria looked annoyed. "Oh really? Well, it ain't by damn issue!" She said to him with annoyance. And Ben sighed a bit
"Hey, so listen." He said to them. "First of all, Bellicus, Serena, it's nice to see you both again. But listen, I need to take the reins of Alien X, please." He said to them. "I don't know if you know what's going on but-"
"Oh, we know Ben," Serena said with a calm voice. "You wish to use Alien X to destroy Lucy's inner voice right?" She asked him, making him nod. "I understand...but I don't really know.
"Serena, please," Ben said to her. "She is a part of Lucy, and I can't take her down with any of my other aliens, if I don't use Alien X, she will eventually kill me, Lucy, and Nyu, and she will take over the body and she will most likely kill off my family and everyone else, and if we go back to my world she will infect everybody and kill lots of innocent people. Please...let me."
Bellicus just sighed a bit. "Well...I guess. I mean if she is to kill you, then you would never be able to help us resolve this dispute. Besides….Vectoria over there told us a lot about that girl. So I agree to allow you to use her."
Serena, Victoria, and Ben were all shocked at hearing Bellicus go along, normally he would be grumpy about it, but this time he seems very...chill or something.
"Did Bellicus take a niceness pill or something?" Ben asked with shock, making Serena and Victoria jiggle a bit and for Bellicus to glare at him.
"I'm doing this out of the kindness of my heartbeat," He said with an annoyed tone in his voice.
Serena then looked at Ben and was still a bit conflicted. Of course, she admired him and his heroism, but she didn't really feel as if he was capable of taking a life….of course after what she has been told by Vectoria...maybe Ben needed to do it. "I agree as well." She said to him.
Then Ben turned to Vectoria, who looked confused. "Why are you looking at me?" she asked.
Ben was the one to look confused a bit. "Uh...do you agree?" He asked.
Vectoria scoffed. "I'm just in here since I am part of your Omnitrix thing. So I got no choice in the matter." She said. "I just wish the green-headed guy was more...like the green-headed lady...sorta." She said, making Bellicus glare at her and for Serena to giggle a bit.
"So I can take control of Alien X then, perfect….hey one question...can I also use Alien X to give someone a body as well?" He asked.
Mindscape/Yuigahama Beach
Lucy and Nyu were both standing still, and so was Voice. All three of them looked beat up but were still standing.
"Do you *huff* give up?" Lucy asked as she had some blood dripping from her mouth.
The voice however spits out some blood as he glared hatefully at the two. "Not a chance in hell, you're going to fucking die here traitor, and the dumb one as well. That human ain't going to save you."
"Don't you dare talk about him like that!" Nyu said to her. "Ben is the most amazing person I ever met, he risked his entire life to save us, he doesn't even care about our horns." As she said this, she was glaring at Voice with anger and hatred. "How dare you mock him, how dare you treat him as if he is nothing, and how dare you threaten to take away not just him, but everyone at Maple Inn!"
"Ha, you actually care for those morons?" Voice asked. "You won't be here long enough to see them all dea-"
POW
She was then punched right in the face and skidded back into the sand a bit when she got up she saw who had hit her, it was Alien X who was looking at her with his green eyes. "Guess again sweetheart." He said in a voice that combined the voices of Ben, Bellicus, Serena, and Vectoria.
"Wow!" Nyu and Lucy said in unison at seeing such a sight. But Voice was not scared of him though.
"I ain't terrified of you!" Voice said as she then sent some vectors to stop him, but to her shock, Alien X grabbed them all with his hands, and he and all of them in one of each of his hands. "WHAT?!" Voice yelled as Alien X then grabbed them and flung him over his shoulders, causing Voice to go flying and land hard on the ground, when she got up, Alien X then dashed towards her and he gave her solid punches to the face, stomach, and another to the face.
After a few good hits, Voice was down and out, she looked beat and had blood go down her nose, but she still got up, despite struggling to get up. "You…" she breathed angrily. "Stupid, pathetic human….I'm going...to kill-" But she was silenced by Alien X raising a hand.
"Sorry, but I think it's time to end this." He said as he then raised a finger at her and his finger then began to glow a bit. But Voice was not terrified, normally she would use her vectors, but not this time, she was so smug that she doubted that this alien would be able to do anything to her, so she held out her arms and gave a cocky grin.
"Go on, hit me with your best shot, bitch!" Voice snapped at him. Lucy was looking at her as if she was crazy. While she didn't know much about Alien X, she would suspect that this alien meant serious business.
"This bitch is crazy.." Lucy thought with shock, a thought that Nyu shared as well. Then the blast went from Alien X's finger and it hit Voice right in the stomach, it hurt her, but when she looked down to take a look, she found that there was nothing there on her body and smirked.
"Ha!" she said to him. "You can't do shit!" she said with a triumphant smirk, but then after a few seconds, her body had begun to tremble and shake a bit, making her a bit nervous. "What's going on?" She asked.
"You see," Alien X said to her. "Alien X can do almost anything, and I knew that only I could use him to get rid of you. I shot you with a beam that will get rid of you and out of Lucy's mind forever, you won't be able to manipulate her or any other Diclonius ever again."
And to prove his point, Voice's body began to shark a bit more but then began to crack up a bit, she was dying, that was all there was to say, and for the first time, she lost her smug confidence and looked scared. "No, wait! Dear, you need me!" She said to Lucy who (along with Nyu) walked up and stood with Alien X. "Please! You can't do this! No one will accept you!" She pleaded and pleaded, and no one said anything, they all just stood there and watched. "Lucy, PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!" She yelled as the cracks were now up to her face.
And Lucy's response to her pleads? "I listened to you long enough." She said with a cold and uncaring voice. "Goodbye, and good riddance." She said as the cracks were now starting to break off.
"NOOO!" Voice yelled loudly until…
BOOM
Voice then immediately exploded on impact in a great flash, Lucy and Nyu covered their eyes to block out the light, and when the light vanished, they all noticed that the spot where the inner voice was not there any longer. Finally...the DNA Voice, the being partially responsible for all the trauma she endured….the one who had used her and manipulated her through the years….was no more.
And as a result, the dark sky began to change, the sky began to turn into a clear blue sky, and the blood sea had turned into a regular blue crystal sea. Everyone was looking at the changing scenery with awe and wonder.
"Is it over?" Nyu asked with wide eyes, Lucy, who was now a bit relaxed, nodded her head.
"I think so," she said. "Yes….it's all over." She said as she breathed a bit easier. For the first time in her life, she felt no negativity, no sadness, no anger, no hatred….just...clearness. It felt pretty good, very good.
"Alright, Nyu." Alien X said as he looked at the girl to his left as then pointed a finger at her. "Now don't be alarmed, I am going to do something to you that you will discover once we are free to get out of this place." He said to her.
Nyu was a bit nervous but due to this being a hero...she trusted him completely. Alien X then raised a hand and it began to glow as he then placed it on her shoulder, she then felt something a bit tingly as her whole body glow a bit.
After a few minutes, She stopped glowing and Alien X hit the dial on his chest and turned back into Ben, who then wrapped his arms around the two girls. "Alright guys, let's get out of here." He said as he got out a device and he pressed on the button, and as he did this, everything turned into a flash.
Maple Inn
Everyone was looking on with some anxiousness, it's been at least 30 minutes since they have been inside and tensions were a bit high. Mayu and Nana were the most concerned, worried that their older brother-figure was dead or seriously hurt somehow. But Kevin reassured them both to have some faith in him.
"Trust me, Tennyson won't be able to go down that easy." He said to them.
"But still though…" Nana said as she looked very nervous, even when Kurama had his hand on her shoulder for reassurance, she was scared. Mayu was scared for a bit, but deep inside, she had faith that he could do it...she was just really hoping that he would be back...she just hoped.
Then as they all waited, a bright light flashed the entire area, making everyone cover their eyes, the Plumbers covered the Diclonius girls' eyes and Kurama had his daughters cover their eyes as well.
"The hells going on?" Yuka asked with nervousness as she was covering her eyes a bit.
"Just stay back!" Paradox said as the light still shined a bit, after a few seconds, the light finally diminished, and it was shown that Lucy and Ben were waking up, but there was something else as well, there was a third body as well, another Diclonius as well.
"Woah...what a rush," Ben said as he was now rubbing his eyes a bit as well, but then he was immediately knocked down on the ground by Mayu and Nana, who were hugging him tightly. "Woah, Mayu, Nana, take it easy." He said as he was hugging them back.
"We were just so scared!" She said as she was still hugging him tightly and Kouta and the rest went up to him and either bugged him or paid him on the back. Afterward, Kouta, Yuka, and the others took a glance over at the unknown Diclonius.
"Uh, Ben?" Kouta said to him. "Who's this?" Ben looked over to him and smirked.
"It's Nyu." He said with a smile. And when he said this...well…
"WWWHHHAAATTT?!" Everyone basically screamed.
"You mean that's actually Nyu?" Yuka asked with shock, and Ben nodded his head in agreement. "But..but...how?"
Ben however just smirked. "Well after I used Alien X to eliminate Voice, I also used him to create Nyu a new body so that way she can be her own person rather than just be part of Lucy, so she has her own body now." He said, making them all shocked, even the ones who aren't familiar are shocked.
"Damn, you can do almost anything, can't you kid?" Bando asked with some
"Eh, I just work with what you give me," Ben said to him. Then they all heard a moan and saw that Nyu was beginning to come through.
"W-what happened?" She asked as she then began to take a good look around to see everybody staring at her. "A-am I home?" she asked herself.
"Yes, you are." She turned to see Lucy, looking at her and giving her a reassuring smile. And she looked shocked.
"Wait...your right there….and I'm here!" she said as she began to feel all over the place, her arms, her legs, and her feet as well. "I'm...a real person!" She whispered in awe, but then she immediately smiled widely. "I'M A REAL PERSON!" She shouted with absolute glee.
And it was one big happy celebration, Nyu was hugging Kouta, and everyone else as well. Lucy was just sitting there and looking on with a smile on her face. And Ben? He just got up, smiled, and walked to the outside fountain to get some air, but not before being noticed by two certain females.
"Ben?" Nyu asked ihm as she walked over to him, they both stopped when they both faced him now. "Are you alright?"
"What are you asking me that for?" Ben asked them. "What about you? How do you feel?" He asked them both.
"Well...I feel, pretty amazing!" Nyu said with a smile, and I feel happy, now that I'm in my own body...and with you." She said as she then went over and hugged him gently, making Bean wrap his arm around her and hug her as well.
But he did look at Lucy though. "Lucy, what about you?" He asked her, making Nyu stop hugging him and for her to look over at Lucy as well.
"Well...I mean, for the longest time...all I ever felt was anger, hatred, and self-loathing….I wanted to do nothing but just apologize to Kouta and nothing else, and I was willing to kill anyone who got in my way." She sighed a bit. "I know most of it is from my inner voice, but I also know that it was also me as well and not just the voice. And now that she is gone...I feel….at peace a bit. I mean I know it will take me a bit to repent for all the murderers I have committed...but now I finally feel as if I can do it without being manipulated anymore." She said to him.
"Well, I'm glad you are feeling that way, Lucy." He said with a smile. "And I'll be here to help you."
"Me too!" Nyu said with a happy smile as she was still holding onto Ben.
Lucy looked at both of them and smiled a bit. "Yea…" As she looked at Ben, she felt her heart flutter a bit and she began to blush as well. "I'll be right back, I need to speak to someone about something." She said as she then quickly went inside the inn, leaving behind a confused Ben and Nyu.
"Was it something I said?" He asked, making Nyu shrug her shoulders a bit.
After Lucy got back inside, she looked around to see everyone smiling and laughing a bit. Max, Paradox, and Bando were laughing in a storm. Paradox was smiling as his kids were laughing and playing with the other Diclonius girls. And Mayu was amazed by seeing Gwen's magic. As she was looking around trying to find Kouta, she looked at everybody and felt herself at ease. And she felt...happy.
As she was looking around, she found Kouta talking to Yuka and walked over to them. "Hey Kouta, Yuka…" she said to them, the cousins stopped talking and looked at her and gave short smiles. "Hey Kouta, can I talk to you for a little bit in private?" she asked him.
Kouta was a bit confused and looked over at Yuka, then back at Lucy. "Ok, sure." He said as he then went to follow her, leaving a nervous Yuka behind a bit.
5 minutes later….
Kouta and Lucy were both now sitting outside the entrance together, both of them sitting on the steps and looking up into the clear night sky. This day...this whole day has been a wild ride...for both of them.
"So..you no longer like me like that, huh?" He asked her. Lucy regretfully nodded her head.
"I'm sorry Kouta," She said to him. "I mean, whenever Nyu would take the reins...the feelings she had for Ben were passed onto me, and when he offered help to me, I felt something inside that I only felt for you….and I...I don't know…"
"Lucy, I understand," Kouta said to her, much to her surprise. "I mean...I don't even know if I would've wanted to be with you anyway...not because of your horns...but because of what you did to Kanae and my dad." He said.
Lucy remembered that and got worried. "Kouta, I-"
"I already told you," Kouta said to her. "I too had a hand in it, I lied to you so I wouldn't hurt your feelings, and that voice in you took advantage of it." He said as he and her both got up, both of them looked into each other's eyes. "Lucy, it might take me a bit while to forgive you….and I hope that I will at some point, but I...I don't really think we would make it work."
Lucy looked at him and gave him a sad smile. "Kouta...I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry as well." He said to her. "I just wish I knew back then, and maybe I would've done something." He said. Then he held out his arms. "Can I get a hug though?" He asked her, making her give a small giggle and she went over and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you for understanding Kouta," she said to him.
"Yea, you too. Lucy." Kouta said to her with a soft smile on his face as a tear went down his eye. He had to admit, he did want to be with Lucy, but he was still very conflicted due to his sister and father's deaths...but if Lucy and Nyu wanted to be with someone else...then he would not get in the way of them at all.
5 minutes later….
Lucy was now in front of both Ben and Nyu. Lucy had confirmed her feelings towards Ben, and it was pretty shocking to him.
"You like me? Like seriously like me?" He asked her.
"Yes," the girl said to him. "I know it sounds crazy...but you see, when Nyu was still part of me, all the feelings she had for you were passing over to me, plus it began to grow the more you treated me with kindness and after you took down my inner voice. I mean…" But her face then blushed a bit as she was trying to explain it.
"Lucy, it's alright….actually, Nyu and I were discussing it just a few minutes ago." He said to her as Nyu nodded.
"You see, Ben had told me that part of him was developing feelings for you...and since you were a part of me...I wouldn't mind if you went with him as well." She said to her.
"S-so you mean…" Lucy began as her face went red. "You and me...
"Yes, you and I will share him," Nyu said with a smile, making both Ben and Lucy blush. "And knowing how sweet he is, I'm sure he will love us both equally," she said as she took Ben's right arm and held it tight a bit. Lucy looked on and blushed a bit, could she do it? Could she actually share him? She never did it before….but she will try to make it work. Lucy then went over and gently held onto Ben's left hand and the two girls kissed him on the cheek, making him blush.
"Oh jeez, you guys are making me blush." He said to them both, making both girls giggle a bit and rest their heads on his shoulders. As they did that, he thought of something. "I wonder...if I can take them back home with me. And not just them...maybe Kouta, Yuka, Mayu, Nana, Nozomi, and Wanta could come with me as well?" He thought. "I'll ask them all tomorrow." He thought as he looked up at the night sky. "I hope they all can."
Well everybody….that was it, that was the final fight and we saw the DNA Voice be defeated, and Lucy came out and revealed her feelings towards Ben.
So originally I had the idea of killing off Nyu and having Ben use Alien X to revive her, but then I changed my mind. Another abandoned concept was to have everybody back at Maple Inn looking and watching the fight, but I felt it would take the more emotional stuff away.
So the next one will be the ending and epilogue for the story. And I am excited to do it.
Anyways, please don't forget to read and review, I'm always happy to hear from you guys and happy to answer any questions you might have for me.
And I will see you all next time as we get to the final chapter of this story :)
