Washington B.C
Update, I now have been skilled and trained with the Omnitrix with the various different forms that it contains as we were heading to Washington D.C for the first stop on our summer vacation.
The training was only the basics currently as we didn't have enough time to do some proper training.
And here are the names I came up with for the different aliens:
Spectre
Diamondhead
Speed Raptor
Pyro
Kanine
Grey Matter
Stinkfly
Four Arms
Techno
Ripjaws
It was just insane learning what each of these aliens can do, but also to learn of their weaknesses which is a big help. And since I can do martial arts and gymnastics, I can be such a deadly opponent.
Anyway, we managed to reach Washington D.C., but we heard on the radio that there was a building on fire, so I took this opportunity to turn into Pyro and try to save anyone that might be trapped in there.
One cool thing about Pyro is that I can be able to fly in this form, so I flew to the building and landed on the roof.
Then I got in through a whole in the roof and heard a commotion in the room next to me. I kicked the door open and saw a mother and her child, preparing to get squashed by some rubble falling towards them. I managed to reach them and grab said rubble, preventing it from falling on them. Of course, it was heavy.
"Who are you?" The boy asked in awe when he opened his eyes.
"I'm Pyro, I'm here to help." I told him with conviction as I threw the rubble away. Then I used my abilities to get the majority out of the fire in the room. Once that was done, I gestured the two to follow me out of the building. They did so and we entered the hallway.
"This way." I said, referring to the stairs, but then they fell apart. I hate fate. I looked down the hallway to see a window.
"Alright, that way instead." I said, pointing to the window. I unleashed a fire beam from my hands to slice away the window to create a big enough hole to exit out of. Then I grabbed the two civilians and formed a fire tornado to get us out and onto the street where onlookers and others from the building saw me and cheered, seeing that I saved the mother and son.
"Now you may want to thank me personally, but there's no need to as myself and others like me do this for a living." I said to the crowd and they cheered some more. Of course, part of this involved not revealing my identity and making the public think that my alien forms are a group of superhero aliens, saving people and stopping crime.
I heard honking and it was the Rust Bucket. It parked in front of me and Gwen was poking out of the passenger window.
"Hey, Pyro. The fire was just a diversion to cover up a jewellery store robbery. The bad guys are getting away." Gwen updated the situation. Hmph…. Brilliant.
I got in the RV and suggested to Grandpa the asbestos seat covers when I sat in the passenger seat and we raced to catch up with the robbers, and eventually we did as we ended up right behind it.
Of course, the seat was fine thanks to those asbestos seat covers.
"Nice suggestion, Ben." Grandpa thanked me.
"No problemo." I shrugged. Gwen though decided to unleash a fire extinguisher at me, and I frowned at her.
"10 aliens in that watch and you had to pick the walking bonfire." She complained.
"Hey, Pyro is the only one who can deal with fire." I reminded her. Thankfully she accepted it.
The robbers turned a corner and we followed them. I decided that now's the time to take care of them. I leaned out the window and formed a fireball and threw it at the back of the car they're in, which made it's back wheels fly off.
"Strike!" I cheered. And then the car slammed right into a wall. I walked to them and pulled the driver door open, scaring the two robbers in the car.
"If you don't want a permanent scar on your faces, put your hands against the wall." I ordered them in a deeper pitch. They did as told, but then the beeping started. Oh boy, thinking fast, I bonked them on their heads, knocking them out, so that they don't escape and thank God too, because as I knocked the last one out, I changed back to normal.
And right as I was about to walk away, the police arrived. I stood back, away from the robbers and let the police handcuff them and put them in their vehicles. Thankfully, didn't pay attention to me as I walked away and headed back to the Rust Bucket. Now, I personally don't want the fame and glory, partly due to the fact that it can ruin privacy and because it can get inside your head and make you reckless.
The following day, we went into what is called the M-Mart to do some shopping for food and whatever else. Grandpa allowed me to look at the DVD's and to get one. So I walked to where the DVD's are and looked through. I noticed that they had an offer on the complete first season of Batman: The Animated Series, only costing $5.00. Not bad…. I instantly grabbed it and caught up with Grandpa and Gwen. They were by the cereal aisle, so I put the DVD in the trolley. Grandpa noticed and he smirked, knowing that I'm a huge superhero fan. I noticed one cereal called Sumo Smacks, which were spawned from Sumo Slammers, which I never had any interest in.
Moving on, we grabbed some cereal and then we headed straight to the pet department, don't know why really. But some rumbling made us stop and I turned to see a wall of TV's explode, then a huge mutant looking frog came in with someone on its back. The frog had four red eyes and horns. And the person on top of it was wearing some kind of tech and his skin was a sickly green complexion. The guy got off the frog and walked to grab some electronics and put them in a bag. He's robbing!
"Hey! What do you're doing?" I questioned him. He turned to look at me. The frog decided to become hostile and shot its tongue out but barely missed me, hitting the boxes next to me,
"Don't be a hero, kid. Just run along and play." The guy mocked me.
"I'm not one to play when some loser like you steals." I shot back at him. Now I don't want to use the Omnitrix since I can't get too lazy.
"Freeze!" The mart's security guards yelled to the man as he got back on the frog.
"Get down off that giant frog and put your hands up." One of them ordered the guy. Really, you really think he'll do as you tell him? What an idiot!
The frog leaped over them and went off to somewhere in the mart.
"We got a grab and dash in electronics. Male, 5'6", riding on a giant frog or toad. Trust me. You can't miss him." One of them explained on a radio. I ran after him and he reached the pet department, and now there's a mutant parrot. Gwen and Grandpa ran away from something. And that something turned out to be mutant hamster which snarled at me.
"Behold the genius of Dr. Animo. Nothing can stop me from getting what I deserve. Mark my words. Today, I will make history, or should I say, prehistory!" The man on the frog monologued.
"Why won't you go hero, Ben?" Gwen whispered.
"Can't get too lazy." I reasoned. The hamster roared and we ran. It leaped in the air over me, trying to get Grandpa and Gwen who were now cornered at a wall.
With some quick thinking, I threw a football at it, getting it's attention while I strapped a helmet on and rode on a scooter that had a motor attached which helped me gain speed as the hamster chased me.
I went through various aisles and it would try to get me, but missed and crashed into the aisles. It then got ahead of me, and I tried to get momentum so that I could get in the air, doing so, I landed on another aisle, which fell on some more, trapping the mutant freak.
"Ben!" The two called out in worry. They saw the results and smiled.
"Hell yeah! That's what happens when you mess with a Tennyson." I proclaimed, taking the helmet off.
Animo, who was still on the frog, came up from behind me and so I turned to face him.
"Young fool! You cannot stop me! I will turn Washington D.C., into Washington B.C." Animo warned us before he jumped on the mutant parrot and flew out of the mart through the glass part of the roof. Then the frog did the same.
"You saved the store. If there's anything I can do to repay you, anything you want." The manager said to me. There wasn't anything I can think of, since I can just get the DVD at a later date.
"Not really, just happy to help." I told him and then we walked away to the RV and try to stop Animo from more chaos.
When we got in the RV, Grandpa drove it and managed to follow Animo who's still flying on the parrot.
Gwen was on her laptop to try and find out some info about Animo.
"Ah, just like the good old days before I retired." Grandpa said. I was just so confused. How does a mutant parrot and a mad scientist remind of him of being a plumber?
"So exactly what kind of plumber were you, Grandpa?" Gwen asked him, equally as confused as I am.
"Uh, a darn good one." Grandpa replied, acting as though he's hiding something. I narrowed my eyes upon hearing that as I still looked out, keeping my eyes on Animo.
"One that deals with mad scientists and mutant animals?" I retorted. But before he could reply, Gwen gasped.
"Bingo! 5 years ago, Dr. Animo was a promising researcher in veterinary science, but it turned out he was doing all these twisted genetic experiments where he was mutating animals, and when he didn't win some big prize called the Verities Award, he flipped out." Gwen read aloud what she found out about the guy. Jeez, what a selfish brat.
We then heard the parrot shriek and we looked to see it fly off to who knows where through the skyscrapers.
"We've lost him. He could be going anywhere in Washington D.C." Grandpa stated.
"Or Washington B.C." Gwen added, remembering what Animo proclaimed. Wait, usage of animals, remarks of prehistory and B.C.
"I think I know where he's going. The Natural History Museum." I said. And with that, Grandpa drove as fast as he could to wherever the museum was.
When we got there, part of the wall was broken into and there was a white feather on the ground, which I picked up for close examination.
"Something tells me we're on the right track. Good thinking, Ben." Grandpa praised me, which made me smile.
"Gwen probably would've made the same connection." I said as we entered.
I gotta say, this place is really creepy. With the exhibits looking life like and the skeletons of prehistoric animals and dinosaurs made it all eerie.
I then noticed a cardboard box. I grabbed it and it said 'M-Mart - M Electronics'. We then heard some tinkering and in front of us was Animo, with his device.
"You are very persistent. I hate persistent." Animo told us, clearly knowing we're here.
"We know of you and your selfish desire, Animo. And we'll take you down." I warned him.
"Oh, but it's only just begun. See, I only needed a few components to push my work into Phase 2: The reanimation of dormant cells." He stated. My eyes widened because he's saying that he is able to bring dinosaurs to life and having read and watched Jurassic Park, that ain't good.
"Breathing life back into that which has been long since lifeless. Observe." Animo then said as he activated his device and used it on the Mammoth exhibit, which started to trumpet and it's eyes started to glow red as it took some steps forward. Oh crud.
"Behold the genius that is Dr. Animo." The mad scientist proclaimed before running away.
"Now would be a really good time to go hero." Gwen reminded me.
"I know. Go after Animo, I'll take care of Dumbo." I told them before activating the Omnitrix and used it to transform into Four Arms. I started to grow taller, grow a couple more arms and two more eyes as I got bald, got red skin with black markings and I got into a short sleeved suit.
"Let's wrestle, big boy." I teased the Mammoth before charging at it and grabbed onto the tusks, throwing it onto its side and punched it on its belly. Then it somehow got back on its feet and swiped at me with the trunk, throwing me into a wall. I glared at the Mammoth as it charged at me. I then charged and punched it real hard and then got launched in the air, landing onto a dinosaur skeleton, destroying the fossils.
"You are so dead, peanut!" I spat in anger, grabbing its trunk and spin really fast to slingshot it right into a wall, taking it down.
Then I started to feel a bit dizzy.
"Thank God I took gym classes." I told myself since it helped make me less nauseous. But then I heard Gwen scream as I heard a parrot call. Oh no! That thing took her.
"Ben!" I heard Grandpa call for me and so I ran as fast as I could to him and then I ran out to try and save my cousin. I then jumped up, really high, grabbing onto the parrot's feathers.
"Never take food that has family." I told it as it tried to shake me off.
And unfortunately, I heard beeping. I'm about to time out! Seeing no choice, I let go and landed on the road, leaving a crater right before I turned back to normal. I managed to get up on my feet and climb out of the crater to see the parrot fly off.
"Damnit!" I growled, hitting the road. And then I heard the Rust Bucket right next to me.
"Somebody call for a taxi?" Grandpa asked. I instantly got in and we followed after the parrot, yet again.
"No sign of Tweety yet." I said, looking out for it.
"There can't be that many places for a parrot the size of an elephant to roost. Here. Look at what Dr. Animo left behind." Grandpa said, handing me a piece of newspaper. I looked at it and there was a photo of someone being handed an award and there was Animo in the background, looking as though he was barely containing his anger.
"'Dr. Kelly accepts Verities Award.' He's gonna try to grab that award for himself. We need to stop him." I stated.
"First things first. We have to find your cousin." Grandpa reminded me and then the phone rang and the screen had the name 'Gwen' on it. I then looked and there was the parrot on top of the Washington Monument.
"Over there!" I pointed.
"Hang on, Gwen. We're coming." Grandpa assured my cousin over the phone as we got closer to the Monument.
"I can't hold on much longer." She replied, sounding scared. As we parked, we got out and Gwen's phone smashed on the ground. She's on the top of this thing.
"Oh no. Gwen will be next." Grandpa said as I saw that the Omnitrix was fully charged. And there was only one alien I could use to get her off.
"I'll make sure that ain't the case." I stated, slamming down on the dial and starting the transformation into Stinkfly.
I ended up growing four eyes that grew out of the sides of my head and then I grew insect-like limbs and then a tail and wings.
Once the transformation was over, I instantly shot into the air right as Gwen slipped and started falling. Thankfully, I grabbed her before she could go splatter on the ground.
"Gotcha." I said.
"Butterfly." Gwen said. Really?
"It's Stinkfly." I corrected her.
"Either way, thanks for the save. Incoming!" She warned me and I saw the parrot flying right at us.
"Hang on!" I told her as I dodged that thing and got Gwen on top of me as I flew around the Monument, dodging that mutant's attacks.
"Oh, I think I'm gonna be sick." Gwen moaned.
"You throw up on me, I'll make you learn to fly quick." I warned her as I flew back to the Monument, where I saw Grandpa at one of the windows.
"I can't seem to shake off Tweety. You'll have to trust me." I told Gwen as I decided to hand her to Grandpa. I got Gwen into my arms, and she screamed as I shot up and then down to the Monument, aligning up with the windows and then handed her over to Grandpa.
And then I slammed the parrot into the Monument and threw it to the ground.
"Go. Stop Animo. We're alright." Grandpa told me.
"Speak for yourself." Gwen muttered. Anyway, I did as told and flew to find Animo.
And the best way to do that is follow the destruction he made from riding a freaking T-Rex!
And it made its way to Kelly Industries and I saw that Animo got there already and I flew as a blur and punched the T-Rex in the face. But then it swiped its tail at me and I didn't react in time as I got slammed into a wall and landed on the ground. I looked over and saw one of those Sumo Slammer cards. I don't really see what's cool about it, since it takes japanese action and butchers it.
"Somebody help me!" I heard someone cry out and I saw that Kelly was lifted off the ground by his jacket from the T-Rex.
"Oh, you're gonna get it now." I muttered about Animo before flying off right as Kelly was about to gobbled up, but I grabbed him before that could happen.
"What are you, you little pest?" Animo questioned me as I placed Kelly on the ground.
"Stinkfly. And I'm about to give you a fitting punishment." I replied. His response was with a ray from his device, which I flew to avoid. Then I shot some goo at the Rex's head and swiped at Animo, making him drop the Verities Award.
"NO!" He cried out as it smashed into pieces. Then I ripped his device off of him.
"My transmodulator!" He then cried out before I threw it hard on the ground, making a shockwave disperse which made the Rex turn back into a skeleton and hopefully, all the other things Animo mutated or brought to life.
Morning arrived and the police arrested Animo as Grandpa and Gwen also arrived to pick me up.
"Let me go! I deserve that award! I got it coming to me! I want it!" Animo shouted like a spoiled brat as he was cuffed and escorted to one of the police cars.
"This is what happens when you don't accept not earning a reward." I mocked him as he looked at me through the windshield of the backseat he's in.
Grandpa then drove us out of Washington to somewhere else in the States for the trip.
"I just so happened to snag this from Animo, just so he doesn't use it again." I told Gwen, holding up the shut down transmodulator and then placing it in a box, where I'll keep future trophies.
"Thanks for saving me, by the way." Gwen told me with a smile.
"No problem." I replied, holding my hand out and she grasped it.
"Let's just hope no one else decides to grab you." I told her as we sped down on the highway, ready for another fight.
Yes, some of the aliens have different names and I thought it would make sense as this isn't THE Ben Tennyson and he'd make up some other names. And it may seem like he's a Gary Stu/Mary Sue but there will some chapters later where he'd make some mistakes and learn from them.
