Chapter 01: And then there were 1,000,907

-meanwhile in space-

A ginormous brown ship that looks like an energy crossbow named the Chimeran Hammer looks to be firing at a smaller ship. The scene then changes to the inside of the ship to a drone man looking at the controls and then turns around and speaks to a giant squid man alien.

"Hull damage: 20 percent, weapons system's still operational Lord Vilgax." The drone said to the beinging now known as Vilgax.

"I have come too far to be denied. The Omnitrix shall be mine, and there is not a being in the galaxy that dares stand in my way!" He exclaims moving to the edge of his seat.

-meanwhile back on Earth-

'Man I can't believe today's the last day of school and my friend/cousin Ben decided to invite me on a camping trip! Could this day get any better?' I ask myself as Ben decides to make a paper airplane and throw it at the back of the teachers head.

She then gasps and turns around and looks at us with a slight glare and as Ben pushes his face close to his book pretending to read I just shake my head. A couple minutes later I tap on his shoulder while fidgeting with my earrings

"Hey Ben look!" I exclaim as a point to the clock.

"Oh sweet!" He exclaims as he sees it and for the remaining minutes of class we just stare at it.

"Come on…. come on…" we say at the same time as the teacher speaks.

"And I just want to remind you all that I will be teaching summer school this year, and it's not too late to sign up!"

She says then Ben speaks under his breath "Yeah, right." He says then the bell rings. "Yes! Outta here!" He says as the teacher speaks again.

"Everyone, have a good vacation, and I hope to see you all again in the fall." She says I just ran outside.

"Finally this fucking school day is done with!" I say as Ben is right behind me and then the teacher speaks up "Benjamin, could I have a word with you before you go?" She asks and he just groans walking back into the classroom as I laugh "You too Darkron." She says and I quickly stop laughing.

-meanwhile outside of school-

As me and Ben walk outside we see two bullies pushing up a kid that I know named Jamie. The two bullies are named Cash Murray and James Thompson or JT for short as they were pushing him up against the tree Cash spoke.

"Normally, we'd take your money and beat you up. But since it's the last day of school, we're going to give you a break. Now fork over the cash, so we can get out of here."

He says waving his hand in a 'give me' motion. Ben walked up to them opening his big mouth.

"Leave him alone!" He exclaims as JT walks in front of Cash.

"Get lost, shrimp." He says confidently as I begin to walk towards them but Ben holds his hand in front of me.

"I said, back off!" He exclaims

"Oh, looks like we got us a hero. Suppose we don't wanna back off?" Cash says walking towards us "What are ya gonna do about it, Tennyson?" And for some odd reason the three decide to stare at each other very intently. Then Ben, like the dumbass he is, decides to charge at them holding his fist back like he's going to punch them. But he failed miserably as they punched him and grabbed both of their underwear hanging them up on a tree branch.

"You really are a dumbass, huh Ben?" I say chastising him as Jamie speaks.

"Thanks a lot." He says sarcastically.

"I was just trying to help." He says looking at him.

Then Jamie speaks again "Next time you wanna play hero, make sure you can back it up." He says as an RV pulls up with Ben's grandpa Max and my 'soon to be' adoptive grandfather speaks.

"Come on, you two, let's go! We're burning daylight. I wanna to make it to the campsite by nightfall." He says with a smile.

"Uh, Grandpa? A little help here?" He asks as I walk into the RV and, after a couple of grunts, Ben follows.

"I have so been looking forward to this!" Ben says as he turns his head and notices his cousin Gwen sitting in one of the seats. "What are you doing here?" He then turns his head to Max. "What is she doing here?" He asks as I look over at Gwen and blush slightly as I sit down in front of her.

"Take it easy, dweeb. This wasn't my idea. Somebody convinced my mom that 'going camping for the summer would be a good experience for me'." She said and then looked at me. "Hey Darkron, how are you?" She asks

"I've been better. I got in trouble for swearing at the last minute." I say with a smirk.

"Grandpa, please. Tell me you didn't…" Ben asks then Max speaks.

"I thought it would be fun if your cousin came along with us this summer. Is... that a problem?" He asks as Ben sits across from me and Gwen. Then they start to bicker.

"Aw, I can't believe it. I wait all school year to go on this trip, and now the Queen of Cooties is along for the ride." Ben says crossing his arms.

"Hey! I had my own vacation already all planned out too, you know?" She says holding up a color-coded schedule. "Each activity is color-coded, so I never do the same thing two days in a row." She says this with a smile, making Ben become surprised while I smile back, as she frowns again.

"Now, I'm stuck with my geekazoid cousin going camping for three months." She said looking at him as I begin to lose it. Ben replies with name calling. Great.

"Geek." He says as Gwen retorts.

"Jerk." I then get up.

"If this is what it's like to have kids, I don't want any." I say as I go to the front seat and sit next to Max.

"Something tells me it's gonna be a long summer…" Max said to himself while driving, as I doze off. About four or five hours later, we arrive at the campsite as me, Ben and Gwen gather around a picnic bench and Max comes back out with a bowl of who-knows-what.

"Chow time!" He says excitedly as Ben and Gwen look at the bowl full of worms.

"Okay, I give up. What- is that?" Ben asks, confused.

"'Marinated mealworms' Hard to find them fresh in the states. You know, they're considered a delicacy in some countries?" He says looking at us.

"...And totally gross in others?" Gwen asked as one of the worms fell out of the bowl.

"If these don't sound good, I've got some smoked sheep's tongue in the fridge?"

Ben just groans. "Ugh. Couldn't we just have a burger or something?" He asks me when and he smiled at Max.

"Nonsense. This summer's gonna be an adventure for your taste buds! -I'll grab the tongue." He says as he goes back into the Rust Bucket then the three of us huddle up.

"Okay, I got a half-eaten bag of corn chips and a candy bar in my backpack. What'd you got?" He asks Gwen.

"Some rice cakes and hard candy." Gwen says as they look at me.

"Some chocolate covered strawberries."

I say as Ben asks the three of us, "Think we can make them last the whole summer?" Then the three of us just shrug and sulk.

-meanwhile back in space-

The Chimiran Hammer continues to fire at a smaller ship. "Their propulsion systems have been destroyed." The drone says as it looks at Vilgax.

"Prepare to board! I want the Omnitrix, now!" He exclaims, putting his right hand on his right knee, looking like he's about to stand up. The smaller ship fires at the Chimiran Hammer, blowing up his control room throwing him onto the floor. The Chimiran Hammer retaliates, blowing up the lower half of the ship as it ejects a probe. Immediately, the probe breaks apart revealing two smaller pods.

-back on earth-

I sit next to Gwen playing on my phone as she types away on her computer and Ben plays on his game Sumo Slammers.

"Who wants to roast marshmallows?" Max asks as I look up.

"Sure" I simply say then I go back to my phone as Ben and Gwen are silent.

"Okay, um… How 'bout we tell scary stories?" Ben then tries to make a witty remark.

"Scarier than having to spend a summer with your freak of a cousin?" He asks then chuckles as I shake my head.

Then Gwen says, "I'd like to, Grandpa, but I'm busy doing a web search on cures for 'extreme doofus-ness'. Nothing yet, Ben, but let's not give up hope!" She says while Max tries to encourage the three of us.

"Aww, come on you three. We're all in this together. You can mope around like this all summer, or we can have some fun. Now whadd'ya say?" Gwen just stares at her computer.

"I vote for moping," she says. Ben then puts his game down.

"I'm gonna take a walk. Smell ya around, Gwen." He says getting up and walking into the woods as I get up and follow.

"I'm going to follow him to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid." I say walking behind him.

Then Max speaks "I, uh, think they're starting to grow on each other."

-in the forest-

Ben walks while I follow behind with his hands in his pockets. "Aw, man. This is gonna be the worst vacation ever. I might as well have gone to summer school." He says to himself

"Don't get ahead of yourself." I say as he quickly turned around startled.

"DON'T DO THAT!" he exclaimed.

"Ok sorry," I say as I walk with him as we both look up we see what seems to be two shooting stars

"Woah! Shooting stars!" We both say, but then our luck turns around when they become meteors heading down the straight for us.

"What the fuck?!" I yell as I grabbed Ben and hit the ground. "The hell was that?" I ask as we walk to the crater.

"Looks like a - satellite or something." Ben says as we get to the edge it crumbles away.

"Shit!" I exclaim as we fall into it then the white-light fades as the pods open revealing two hourglass-like symbols

"...A watch?" We say at the same time.

"What are watches doing in outer-space?" I ask as we reach our left arms out and they jump and clamp onto our wrists. Then Ben spazzes out, gripping his wrist like the watch is killing him.

"Ahh! Get off me! Get off, get off!" He yells as he falls backwards then climbs out "GRANDPA!" He yelled running towards camp as I ran behind looking at the gauntlet thing on my wrist, noticing that it looks far more advanced than the one on Ben's wrist.

-back at camp-

Max looks at the forest, "Hm... They've been gone a while. Well, I guess they can't get into too much trouble out here." He says to himself.

"Unless they wound up bear food." Gwen said as Max looks at her weird.

"Hey I can dream, can't I?" She asks.

-back in the forest-

Ben stops and grabs a stick, trying to pry the watch off of his wrist but fails. Then falls to his knees in defeat and begins messing with it as I crouch next to him and do the same.

Ben unknowingly hits a button making the face plate pop up "Woah." He says as I look over.

"What did you do?" I ask him.

"I don't know it just popped up!" He said surprised as I pulled up on the symbol on mine and a hologram pops up and my eyes widen.

"Holy shit…." I say as we look around, just in case anyone was watching. "Let's do this." I say as Ben puts his right index finger on the plate and I raise my above it and we slap them down, becoming engulfed in bright green light.

I feel myself being wrapped in swamp vines, and becoming taller with my joints resetting with a hood on my head opening like a flower and as the light dies down I exclaim in a deep but nasally voice, "SWAMPFIRE!"

I then look around and then sniff my armpits "*sniff… sniff* Ew what's that smell? Is that me?" I ask as I see a fire-man in Ben's place.

"AHHHHHIMONFIREIMONFIRE! AHHHHHHHH!" He yells, running around like there's no tomorrow.

"BEN CALM DOWN!" I yell at him.

He finally stops running and quips, "Hey... I'm on fire -and, I'm okay... Check it out. I'm totally hot."

As I just face palm at the joke. "Really Ben?" I ask as he turned to a tree.

"Oh yeah, uh huh. Here goes!" He says as he shoots his wrist forward shooting a fireball blowing the tree branch clean off. "That's what I'm talking about."

I saw what he did and I smirk, "Nice one Ben!" I exclaim as I light my hands on fire using Methane. "Now let's see what I can do." I say as I put my hands out in front of me and shoot a stream of fire that's tinted neon yellow.

"HOLY SHIT!" I exclaim as Ben clasps his hands together making a larger fireball.

"'Liking it!..." he said as he shoots the fireball through not one, but three trees unknowingly as smoke begins to appear, a fire starts and Ben begins to freak out.

"Wait! Stop! ... Uh oh." He then tries to stomp out the fire, but to no avail. It becomes bigger as I come up and slap his head.

"Great going Ben, now I got to deal with the wrath of Max."

As Ben freaked out even more, "Oh man! We're so going to get busted for this!" I say as I walked in front of him.

"No shit, Sherlock! Now help me put out this fire." I say as we go around trying to put it out.

-meanwhile back at camp-

Max was sitting by the fire while Gwen walked back outside looking up seeing the smoke in the forest.

"What's that?" She asked as Max was getting up.

"Looks like the start of a forest fire. We had better get to the ranger station now. Probably some darn fool camper out there playing with something he shouldn't." Max pauses as they both come to realization who it was

"Ben!" They say simultaneously as Max runs around to the side of his RV, opens the compartment and pulls out a baby blue container holding two fire extinguishers.

"Better take this!" He says as they both run it to the forest.

-back at the beginning of the fire-

Me and Ben, who were trying to put the fire out, stopped for a second and spoke, "This would be so cool, if it weren't so- not cool!" He said as Gwen was getting close putting out fires with the extinguisher and, without realizing, she sprays his back putting out the fire on his head making him cough; then turned around to look at her, making her scream

"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" Then Ben holds his hands in front of him trying to calm her down.

"Look, I know I look weird, but there's no reason to be scared-" he tries to explain as Gwen hit him upside the head with the butt of the fire extinguisher, and sprayed him again making him cough even more.

"Hey" he said while coughing as I came up running from another end as Gwen spoke.

"I don't know what you are- but you'll stay down there if you know what's good for you!" She warns as I stop right next to Ben.

"Gwen we don't have time for this we need to stop this damn fire before it spreads even more!" I say slightly yelling as she looks at me in awe.

"Ben? Darkron? What happened?" She asked.

Ben began to explain, "Well, when we were walking, these meteors fell from the sky and almost smudged us, except they weren't meteors or satellites, but this cool watch thing that jumped up onto my wrist and gauntlet like one jumped onto his, and when I tried to get it off, I suddenly was on fire, only it didn't hurt when I was accidentally starting this mega forest fire."

He explained as Max was running towards us "Gwen, are you alri- What in blazes?" I asked looking at us.

"Hey Max!" I say happy he's here.

"What do we do?" Ben asked as his grandfather was thinking.

"Backfire. Start a new fire and let it burn into the old fire. They'll snuff each other out. Think you can do it?"

Then Ben replied. "Shooting flames I can definitely do." He says running into the forest, beginning to make another fire as I hit the symbol on my left pectoral and in a flash of green light my form changes completely.

"WATER HAZARD!" With the symbol now on my waist I begin to shoot water through the barnacles on my hands and start putting out the fire As Max just stands there amazed.

-outside of the forest-

A Yosemite Park Ranger comes across the burnt out forest and looks around for a bit then looks up.

-back in space-

In the Chimeran Hammer up above the Earth, Vilgax's ship has a damaged bridge, and an incredibly mutilated Vilgax is in a stasis tank. As Vilgax speaks from the tank, "What do you mean it's not there?" He says and then pauses to breathe. "This battle nearly costs me my life! —And you say the Omnitrix is no longer onboard the transport?" He asks the drone lieutenant as it looks at the screen.

"Sensors indicate a probe was jettisoned from the ship, just before boarding. It landed on the planet below. With a device just like it in a separate pod, with an evolutionary function. It is known as the Ultimatrix." It replies sparking Vilgax's interest.

"Go…" he breathes in sharply "Bring them to me…." He says looking at a larger combat drone and sends it down to earth.

-back on earth at the campsite-

Me, Max, Ben and Gwen sit at the fire with Ben explaining the situation "And you say that this watch and gauntlet 'just jumped up and clamped onto your wrists'?" Max asks me and Ben as Gwen throws me and Ben a marshmallow and we both catch them.

"Hey, this time it wasn't my fault-" he says as he puts the marshmallow into his mouth but it gets stuck as he tries to chew it because of his body heat. "I swear!" He says getting slightly excited

"I believe you Ben." His grandfather says sincerely.

"Think they're gonna stay a monster forever?" Gwen asks as me and Max reply.

"We're not monsters, we're aliens/They're not monsters, they're aliens!" We say as we look at each other.

"I-I mean… look at him, what else could he be?" He says defensively.

"A Methanosian, Orishan and a Pyronite to be exact." I say surprising Max.

"Darkron how do you know that?" He asks me.

"I don't know... I knew as soon as we transformed." I say as Ben speaks up.

"I don't wanna be 'fire guy' forever. How am I supposed to play Little League this fall if I charcoal the ball every time I catch a pop-fly?" He asks in worry.

"Don't worry, Ben. We'll figure this thing out." Max says as The symbol on Ben's chest flashes red five times then he becomes human.

"Haha I'm me again!" He says in excitement.

"Aw, too bad. I liked you better when you were a briquette." Gwen remarked as the three of them looked at me.

"What, is there something on my face?" I asked, concerned about them looking at me weirdly.

"You're still an alien!" Gwen says in surprise.

"Are you serious?" I ask looking at my hands seeing the barnacle like a port holes on the palms of my hand. "Hmmmmm… let me try this…" I say thinking as I hit the symbol on my waist and with a bright green flash I turn normal. "Looks like I don't have a limiter and I think I can become an alien anytime I want." I say as Ben punches me on the shoulder lightly and Gwen runs up and gives me a hug….. wait a hug?

"Gwen?" I ask as she looks up with a smile as Ben tries to take the white thing off of his wrist.

"I still can't get this thing off," he says as Max cups his chin.

"Better not fool with it anymore until we know exactly what we're dealing with. I'll go check out that crash site. You guys stay here until I get back." He says as he goes into the forest.

-back in between space and the woods-

A pod shoots from Vilgax's ship above orbit, landing deep in the woods, next to the watch's pod. Revealing itself as a gigantic robotic drone, it scans and promptly disintegrates the pod in the crash site, and ejects smaller flying drones from it's shoulders to go find the watch.

-back at camp-

I peak around the RV seeing Ben mess with the watch and I motion for Gwen to follow "Huh? I wonder what this does…" he asks himself as me and Gwen jump out in front of him.

"Caught ya!" We both exclaim laughing, but then we stop laughing as Ben mimics Gwen's laugh.

"Very funny, like your face." Ben messes with the watch turning the faceplate back-and-forth.

"Grandpa/Max said not to mess with that thing." We say at the same time.

"Yeah, so? What's your point?" Ben asks.

"Did your parents drop you when you were a baby?" Gwen asks as he begins to bite the faceplate.

"Come on. You can't tell me you aren't a little bit curious what else this thing can do?" I scratched my chin.

"Not in the least." Gwen says. "I'm more curious about Darkron's than anything." She says as I twist the ring and pull up slightly, making the core produce a hologram.

"You sure you're related to me?" Ben asks.

-back at the crash site-

Max turned on his flashlight Looking at the crash site as he picked up a piece of rubble he said, "I don't like this… one little bit."

-back at camp-

Me Ben and Gwen sit by the campfire as Ben plays with the watch talking with each other. "Look, if I can figure this thing out, maybe I can help people. I mean, really help them. Not just, you know, make things worse." Ben says as I shake my right leg up and down.

"So, what did it feel like going all alien like that?" Gwen asks.

"Well…. it's like I was in someone else's body... but able to speak through it. Move, feel, taste, smell and use their abilities at the same time."

I say, "It freaked me out at first. It was like I was me, but it was also like I was somebody else-"

Ben speaks as he makes the faceplate pop up by hitting a button. "Hey, I think I figured out how I did it. Should I try it again? Just once?" He asks as he turns the dial to a dog-like silhouette and I do the same just a more detailed hologram.

"I'm up for it!" I say with a smile.

"I wouldn't," Gwen says, concerned.

"No duh, you wouldn't," Ben says as we both hit the cores down, enveloping us both in green light. I feel my veins and bones shift, teeth reshaping, nails sharpening, losing eyesight, and neon orange fur growing as I dig my right paw claws into the ground and shake my head side to side while roaring.

"RRRRROOOAAARRRRR! ROOAR!" I stop roaring as the light dies down and to Gwen, both me and Ben look just like giant orange dogs with no eyes, except I'm double the size of Ben, and no drool as Ben drools with Gwen looking at him.

"Eww. This thing's even uglier than you are normally! Hah, wow, put a flea collar on this mutt!" Ben just roars at her. "And no eyes? What good is this one? It can't see!"

Gwen says as she looks at the marshmallow on a stick in her hand and gets an idea. Gwen silently moves behind Ben, blows on her hands and winds up her stick, getting ready to hit him with it.

Before she does however, Ben's 'gills' on his neck open up, alerting him. Ben dodges her swing by jumping onto the top of the RV, smiling smugly.

"Okay. So maybe it's not a total loser..." Ben jumps off of the RV right on top of her slobbering more. "Ew, two words: 'breath mints!' And get off of me you perv!" Gwen yells as she pushed him off of her. He kicks dirt on her and leaps/runs away into the forest which pisses me off.

I then hit the symbol to try and change aliens but the unexpected happens. Four spikes protrude from the corners of the symbol and an energy wave covers my body, changing my fur to blood red, changing my claws from keratin to sharpened bone, and tripling my size, allowing bone ridges to form on my back, and a bone spike on the very tip of my tail.

It was about three inches long with a little bit of venom and blood leaking from my claws and the tip and I let off a monstrous roar, which was much deeper than Ben could ever do as I exclaim, "ULTIMATE WILDMUTT!"

And as I spoke, it was deep, kind of like a mutated version of my voice, and Gwen just looked at me terrified but then turned to the forest.

"Get back here! Ben! I'm gonna tell Grandpa that you turned into some freaky-animal-monster-thing and went swinging around the forest when he told you not to!" But then she realizes what she said as her expression softens "-Oh, this is a majorly weird day."

I then turn to her, "Well? What are we waiting for? Let's get that son of a bitch!" I say as I use my tail to grab her and put her on my back. I then begin to follow the path Ben took as Gwen blushes and begins to grind on my back.

'She's really horny at a time like this?' I ask myself as I see a red flash up ahead. And bolt towards it as Ben exclaims, "Yes!" As another drone arrives looking down at him.

"Whoa! Not good…" Ben says as I jump on the drone with Gwen slamming it into the ground with a shovel.

"Ugh! Back off sparky! No flying tree-trimmer is going to hurt my cousin!" Gwen says as she hits it even more.

"Never thought I'd say this, but am I glad to see you." He says looking at his cousin.

"Hey what about me?" I ask Ben as the drone starts to spark as I hit the symbol turning back to normal Wildmutt and I hit it again turning human and get off of the drone and Gwen falls off of my back and we run back to camp before the drone blows up.

-back at camp in the RV-

Me, Max, Ben and Gwen are in the RV talking as Ben and Gwen are sitting next to each other and I stand next to Max.

"I was worried that you might get popular with that thing on your wrist. That's why I asked you not to fool around with it until we know what the heck it is." Max says looking at Ben.

"Sorry, Grandpa... But at least I figured out how to make it work. All you do is press this button. Then, when the ring pops up, just twist it until you see the guy you wanna be. Slam it down, and BAMMO! You're one of ten super-cool alien dudes!" Ben says, describing the watch and what it does.

"What about staying a super-cool alien dude and not transforming back into plain old pizza-face?" Gwen says smuggly.

"I…kinda haven't figured that part out yet," Ben says as I look at my gauntlet.

"Hmm... Well since I can evolve my forms, that must be why it's so much more advanced than yours, so I'm going to call it the ultimate matrix or Ultimatrix for short and how I got matrix from it it's because it's a matrix of multiple different forms." I say as Max speaks up.

"With a device as powerful as that watch clamped on both of you, my guess is we better help you two learn, fast." Max says as Ben and I hi-five.

"Alright!" We both exclaim as we are interrupted by a man speaking on the radio.

"Mayday! Mayday! Somebody help us! We're under attack by some sort of… I know you're not going to believe me, but… robot!" Ben looks surprised at the radio.

"Sounds just like those things that attacked me. Must be looking for the watch. Those people are in trouble because of me! I think I can help them." I smiled at him.

"Uh, you? What are you gonna do about it, Tennyson?" Gwen said as Ben looked at his watch then we left the Rustbucket and went to a part in the woods where we could see the rest of the park.

I began to play with the dial on the Ultimatrix, and it makes a large, green flash, and it speaks.

"Master control unlocked. All 1,000,907 genetic samples available. Voice command available." I then stare at the device on my wrist wide-eyed as a twist and pull on the dial making a thin man made out of Crystal show up on a hologram. Ben activates his watch

"Yeah," He says as he begins to turn the dial "Eeny, meeny, miny…" he says as he turns it skipping over the one that looks like a ghost and one that looks like a giant fly with a big stinger, landing on a man made out of Crystal that is bigger body way buff looking.

"Here goes!" Me and Ben both say hitting the dials on our watches. I feel my body shifting with my bones becoming crystal-like, crystals coming out of my back, head, chest and arms, and my body becoming skinnier and taller.

When the light dies down I exclaim, "CHROMASTONE!" I then turned to look at Ben and he looked like a giant, light blue crystal man and Gwen looked up at him.

"So what can this guy do?" She asks as Ben looks at his hand clenching it.

"I don't know, but I bet it's gonna be cool." He says as the four of us run down to the campsite seeing the giant robot.

I then look at Max, "Looks like papa-robot this time." Then to both Max and Gwen, "Me and Ben will get gear-head's attention, you guys get the campers to safety." I say confidently as they run off. Ben's eyes glow, and we both run to the robot as it grabs a park ranger.

"Leave him alone! You want somebody to pick on?" He says to the robot as it looks at the two of us looking like it's scanning for something "Try me."

The robot blasts Ben away into an RV as it tries to blast me but as The blast hits me for some reason I absorb it and glow multicolored.

"Oooooh!" I say to myself as I begin to shoot ultraviolet rays at the robot. I end up cutting off one of its arms with a beam. Ben lands in an RV which the robot almost immediately blows up with its other arm. Ben turns his arm into a blade and shoves it through the leftover debris, quickly cutting himself out, and then he looks at it, all the while producing mini spikes from it.

"Cool…" He says to himself. The robot begins to walk towards him as his eyes glow again and he decides to test out his new arm blade and attack the robot. However, the robot jumps up into the air, avoiding it, spinning its three legs, and falling down onto Ben.

"Uh-oh, think I'm in trouble," he says while under the robot as I continue to fire lasers at it. Max and Gwen save the Ranger and help him try to escape.

"What is going on here?" The ranger asks.

"You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you. Now come on." The ranger hesitates as Max and Gwen run off, but runs when the robot throws Ben into his truck, just barely missing him. Ben then dodges multiple laser blasts when a stray one hits a tree, causing it to fall exactly where Gwen is standing.

I look over where she's standing there, frozen still and wide-eyed. I then bolt over to where the tree is falling, manipulating my arm, covering it in ultraviolet light, turning the light into crystal, effectively cutting the tree in half.

"So, we even?" I asked her, turning my arm back to normal as she nods, kissing my cheek

"Even," Gwen smiles. While I was standing there blushing, the robot picks me up and slams me onto the ground, catching me off guard as it shoots me three times. Having somehow re-grown its left arm, it grabs Ben with its right and begins to try and pull off his left arm, while Gwen runs to me. Ben blows up the robot's left arm with his crystalline arm, turning it into a spiky blade, but then it shoots Ben away into a building with its other hand.

"Ben!" Max yells seeing him fly into a building. Ben gets up and tries using his arms to block the next blast. He does momentarily, as the laser reflects off his arms, sending split beams to fly in all directions. However, he can't hold it and is pushed back. But now, on the ground, he gets an idea. He runs up next to me as Gwen runs back to Max. Having the exact same idea, we nod to each other as I look up at the robot.

"C'mon! Burn one in here!" I exclaim, pointing to the symbol on my neck. It readies another shot as I turn to Ben.

"Get out of here! Run!" Max yells as the robot shoots the beam at me. I absorb it and keep absorbing it as Ben aims one palm at the robot, and one at me angled slightly. I fire the ultraviolet beam at Ben and it begins to refract off of his hands.

"'What comes around, goes around.' Let's see how you like it, ya techno-freak!" We both exclaim as the laser blast reflects back into the robot, successfully cutting it in half and making it blow up in a huge explosion.

"Alright!" Max and Gwen exclaim. "Way to go, Be-" Max stopped himself before he revealed our identities "...um... Chromastone and Diamond-headed guy!" Ben smiles and yells

"Oh yeah! Who's bad?!" I facepalm as he jumps up and down. "Yeah!" I look at him with a 'really' face.

"Oh come on Diamond-head! You're more mature than this!" I say to Ben.

"I know Chromastone, but can't we just celebrate a little bit?" He asks me as Gwen and Max wave at us slightly causing us to notice the people. When we finally did, they just shook their heads in embarrassment.

"Well, I… think our work here is done," he says as he jaunts away as I follow.

"Who was that guy?" One of the campers asks the others as Max and Gwen tiptoe away, leaving them shrugging to each other.

-in space-

The Chaimeran Hammer is being repaired by tiny drones as Vilgax yells from his regeneration tube.

"Failure?! Unbelievable! Those puny Earth beings that are keeping the Omnitrix and Ultimatrix from me will soon hang on my trophy wall!" He exclaims angrily.

-back at camp-

Max and Gwen are packing up while me and Ben are having a race.

"Where are Ben and Darkron?" Max asks his granddaughter.

"I haven't seen them since breakfast," she says as they hear a sonic boom in the distance as a reptilian alien with a tail appears in a blue and black blur.

"Ben?" Max asks.

"Yup. Hey! Check this out!" Ben says as he uses his superspeed to break camp and pack the baggage in record time. "Pretty fast huh?" As the watch blinks five times and he turns back into Ben while I come running up behind him in a black and blue blur, but have trouble stopping.

"LOOK OUT!" I yell at Ben to move, but I trip over him and land on top of Gwen, our lips touching as I think about turning human after falling.

"Mumph?" I make a muffled noise as Gwen puts one of her hands on the back of my neck deepening the kiss.

"Ewww. Gross!" Ben shouts, looking at me and Gwen making out, making a disgusted face. "Can't you two get a room or something?" He asks as we pull a part.

"Wow…." I say dumbfounded as I sit on the steps of the RV.

"Aside from what just happened…. there," Ben says pointing at me and Gwen. "I think this is gonna be the best summer ever." He says smiling, looking at Max.

"Absolutely." Max says grinning.

"It's definitely going to be interesting. So... where did you go anyway?" Gwen asks her cousin.

"Just had to take care of a couple of things before our vacation really got rolling." Ben says, smirking.

-In a location on the side of the road-

Cash and JT hang on a tree by their underwear "Dude. How'd we get up here?" Cash asks his friend "Uh, I'm not sure. It all happened so fast." JT says as Cash cups his hands looking out to the road with the cars passing "Hey, somebody? Anybody? Little help up here, please!" Cash says as more cars pass by.

-back at the RV-

Gwen and I walk into the Rustbucket. "I'm not going back to the orphanage you guys," I say with a smile.

"What do you mean Darkron?" Ben asks.

"I adopted him yesterday," Max says, putting his hand on my head and ruffling my hair slightly.

"So… he's like an adoptive uncle?" Ben asks.

"More like my boyfriend who has the mouth of a sailor and our adoptive cousin, Ben," Gwen says with a smile as Ben makes a grossed out face.

"Ugh can't you do that somewhere else?" He asks.

"Nope sorry," I say, shrugging.

"Don't worry Ben. You'll find love someday," Max says with a smile. He climbed into the driver's seat. "Buckle up kids." Max says as I get in the passenger seat.

"So where are we headed?" Ben asks Max.

"Washington. And we might stop at an amusement park on the way there," Max says, driving off as I look through the different selections on my Ultimatrix.

"What're you doing, sport?" Max asks me.

"Just looking through my aliens." I say smiling, turning the dial as I look at the holograms. After some time of driving, we pulled up to a gas station.

"Anyone need to use the bathroom?" Max asks as I look up.

"Yes!" Both me and Gwen say.

"Nah. I'm just hungry." Ben says as Gwen and I exit the Rustbucket going into the gas station.

'I can't believe I'm doing this….' Gwen thought as we went to our respective bathrooms.

After about 20 minutes I hear some yelling outside the bathroom about money and…. HOSTAGES? Then I hear one of them say, "Check the bathrooms!" He ordered as I activated the Ultimatrix, pulling up on the core.

I heard the girls' bathroom door open and a scream. I couldn't take it anymore; I ran out of the bathroom into the lobby of the gas station with people tied up at gunpoint.

"Put your hands up where I can see them or the redhead gets it!" The man said, pulling Gwen out and looking right at me as I put my hands up.

"Ok… Ultimatrix voice command override: Code 10!" I say as the core pops up and the man looks at me funny.

"What the fuck are you saying kid?" He yells, clearly confused as I just smirk.

"Oh nothing. Just that you're going to feel my WRATH!" I yelled the last word as I was engulfed in a bright green flash. My muscles began to swell as I grew 3 feet, growing neon orange fur with black stripes. Claws came out of my fists, easily four inches long, and my eyes became mustard yellow as the light died down.

"RAAAAAAATH!" I yell in a deep raspy voice at the top of my lungs. "LET ME TELL YAH SOMETHIN', RANDOM BURGLAR, KIDNAPING PEOPLE AND TRYING TO SHOOT RATH'S GIRLFRIEND! RATH IS GOING TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU IF YOU DON'T GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW! RAWR!" I yelled trying to scare them off, but one just shoots me in the shoulder and, it's embedded itself in. In response, I yelled out in pain.

"Ooohhhh you just made a big mistake…." I say in a low tone walking towards him and hitting the symbol on my waist, making four spikes protrude from it and a greenlight slowly covered my body from the symbol.

My fur became beige and dark brown, looking like Wolverine from X-Men. My leather clothing tore, looking like a leather jacket and leather shorts. I grew a second claw, making them both barbed and getting a dark brown mane. Three spikes came out of the claws on my feet, sharpening into razors. I also grew a small beard.

"ULTIMATE RAAAAATH!" I exclaim with malice, glaring at the men, mentally making my claws double in length. I punch one of them straight through the chest. tearing out my claws, I was holding his still-beating heart. I opened my mouth and, with everyone looking away, I swallowed it whole. I then threw the other one holding Gwen at gunpoint out of the window, having his arms in between my claws and my feet holding his legs down.

"You will leave and never. COME. BACK!" I say the last part as slow as I can, retracting my hand-claws, wiping the blood from my mouth, turning back to regular Rath, before turning back to human. It was then that I realized what I did and began to puke after the dude ran away. Still puking on my knees, Gwen rubbed my back. And when she finished rubbing my back, she kissed my cheek, helping me get to the RV.

'Why did I do that?' I ask myself as Max drives to the amusement park. In the meanwhile, I drank some milk to get the taste out of my mouth.

"I'm never going to go Ultimate Rath again," I say as I lay in Gwen's bed. After a moment, she joined right next to me, snuggling up to me as I drifted off to sleep.

-in dreamscape-

I open my eyes and look around saying that I'm in my old room in my old house before the accident.

"H-how?" I say as I sit up and get out of bed, going downstairs. I looked at my wrist and saw that I still have the Ultimatrix, but it had different colors and shape. It was black and red with slight purple accents and more compact on my wrist. And, as I walk downstairs, I hear talking, seeing a multitude of girls before I black out.

A/N: This is my first ever fan-fiction! I've been wanting to do one for a while and I finally am doing it! At the end of each chapter I will list the aliens that were in the chapter, so here's the list for chapter 1:

Heatblast, Swampfire, Water-Hazard, Wildmutt, Ultimate Wildmutt, Chromastone, Diamond-Head, Fasttrack, XLR8, Rath, And Ultimate Rath. A total of 9 aliens!

Thanks for reading!
