Above Earth there was this large, imposing ship that looked over it. Of course it wasn't the size of a planet but it probably could fit half a city. Inside this ship there was a large, pitch black room that activated four lights and shown upon three different figures.
One known as SixSix, was wearing armor, his feet are hooved. He has purple pads covering his central joints, a belt, and four central lines on his helmet to provide outlines for his face, which are his eyes and mouth. When his black and pink mask is broken, it reveals an ugly, mutant, gray-yellow creature with pink and gray robotic eyes and four arms.
One known as Kraab, who resembled a fiddler crab with a goldish brown-colored armor, a sideways mouth, four scythe-like legs and a large, powerful pincer for a left hand. Within the pincer was a power blaster combined with a chemical sprayer. When he goes underground by spinning his legs, he retracts his head down, making his neck disappear. He had orange lines running over his body and his eyes had the same color as the highlights of his pincer.
Then the fourth, Khyber. He has a black and red suit. He has grey gloves and a grey belt, as well as black and red boots with grey soles. He wears bones as ornamentation over his suit, which consists of a ribcage on his chest, a tail bone on his right shoulder, a horned animal skull on his left shoulder, ribs covering the back of his black suit and boots, and claws on his shoes. His face was obscured by a metallic helmet, bearing a short yet sharp horn on his forehead, it had metallic teeth with a piece of black cloth behind it. Having a large red triangle where his eyes should be.
Then the last, Hoverboard. He wore a shiny grey suit that had a retractable black helmet, which housed a green triangle on the front. Under the helmet, the suit went all the way up to the bottom of his neck. This triangle was also on the center of his utility belt, and there were markings resembling it on either shoulderpad.
{{"Begin the audition."}}
As soon as the order was given out, SixSix activated his jet pack and flew into the air landing in front of several robots surrounding him, he looked at them and pulled out a blaster. They started blasting at him but he was quick and agile so he dodged these blasts, and in retaliation he blasted at the drones... or at least some of them. He suddenly pulled out a grenade and tossed it at them, a few seconds later it exploded.
Next was Kraab, he leapt off the platform the three- now two- of them were on and landed on one of the drones with a heavy thud, he used his claw to smack one into the ground, he looked up and caught another one before throwing it directly behind him at an approaching drone.
Khyber was next, pulling out a hunting rifle and leaping into the floor, skillfully dodging and firing at the approaching drones. Using some as platforms to get more from higher places, pulling out a large alien hunting knife, he threw it at a drone, causing it to explode. Landing down and calling back his hunting knife.
The three bounty hunters looked up to see a hatch open, the giant robot that attacked Alex a while ago(or what looked like it) landed in front of them, its towering presence evident. Hoverboard leapt up and pulled out a black disc that changed its shape into a hoverboard, he planted his feet firmly and flew at it. However, he was met with a point blank blast. After the blast died down, Hoverboard was still standing there without even as much as a scratch on him, he used his hoverboard to rush in and straight though it's chest cavity with ease.
{{"Impressive. You are all hired."}}, breathed out the voice from earlier as it's silhouette appeared on the screen. Shortly after the Omnitrix took up its place. {{"Your objective."}}, the creature took a deep breath before continuing. {{"Is to retrieve the Omnitrix. The one who succeeds collects the reward. Do not disappoint me."}}, he said sternly.
Shortly after the three of them were put into pods and were shot down to Earth.
"You ready?", Max called out to Alex, who was standing in the most open area of their obstacle course. Which was surprisingly complex despite them knowing their going to use it only once.
Alex gives a thumbs up before lightly smacking the Omnitrix and transforming into Crazy Diamond. "Ready!"
"Remember to strategize out their Alex. Don't just brute force it.", Max yelled out as he himself had to recognize Alex's raw talent for combat along with his intelligence.
"Yeah yeah, but it's always fun.", Crazy Diamond said before this hands transformed into sharpened stubs rather than 'normal' hands. He quickly turned around and shot a group of propelled cans, before using his other arm to shoot at targets that were strung by rope. He slapped the Omnitrix and transformed into Spidermonkey.
Letting out a monkey screech, he leapt into the air, using the sodden framing as means to get around, shooting webbing from his wrists to attack targets along with webbing up another group of flying cans before jumping up and transforming into Cold Soar, coating his fingers in ice, he shot out ice shards at nearby boards with targets painted on them.
"Show off.", Gwen said as she applied sunscreen to her arms, though Ben walked out and looked at her.
"I mean can ya blame him? He's good, might as well right?", Ben shrugged, both he and Gwen figured they'd do the same thing if they had the watch instead.
"Focus Alex.", Max said as Cold Soar folded his wings back into a poncho again.
"Relax Max.", Cold Soar said as he took a deep breath and let out cold wind from his closed mouth, freezing incoming cans. He sharpened his talons with ice again before being hit in the head by a tire, reflexively shooting out ice shards everywhere. Max, Ben and Gwen were nearly hit, but managed to dodge them. Unfortunately for Gwen, a ice shard hits her sunscreen bottle, causing it to pour on her head. "Heheh... my bad!"
Gwen slapped Alex across the face. "You jerk, you almost turned me and Ben into Swiss cheese.", Gwen chided him.
"Yeah yeah I know, I said I was sorry though.", Alex said with a very nonchalant tone
"Dude, c'mon you can't apologize for nearly turning someone into a some thing filled with holes.", Ben said as Alex just shrugged again.
"What we want is for you to take that thing on your wrist more seriously, Alex. It's not a toy. You've got to think when you use it.", Max said with a little bit of annoyance. Of course, he has raw talent but he's still just a kid, all that would go straight to his head.
"I know, but come on! You guys have seen me in action. I'm the baddest dude in town.", Alex said as he put his feet up. "Who's gonna stop me?"
Gwen pushes his feet aside playfully and looked directly at him. "Well, one of these days, you're gonna screw around and get your own butt kicked. And I hope I'm there to see it."
"I'll be there to record it.", Ben said raising his hand.
The RV suddenly started sputtering out. "Uh-oh, that doesn't sound good.", Max said with a sigh.
Back at the obstacle course, the bounty Hunter quartet have traced where the Omnitrix was a few minutes ago by Hoverboard turning off his scanner. "This is where the Omnitrix was last activated.", he said as he went to explore
"What a miserable dirt ball.", Khyber said in what sounded like an Australian accent before sliding down the slope and making his way to the obstacle course.
"Yontian Maa.", SixSix must've said something chiding the planet itself before flying off after Hoverboard to join in.
Kraab laughed a little bit at this, since he could understand, along with Hoverboard. "You can say that again. A rock pile like this is better off space dust."
They explore the location, however Hoverboard notices a rock with a diamond shard on it. SixSix flies up and takes it with a retractable hook, only to have it ripped off by Hoverboard. The two initiated a stand-off.
"Gentlemen, let's be professionals here.", Khyber said as he was ready to draw his rifle.
"Muntai dite toi?"
"Whoa! Big talk from a gear-head.", Kraab was simply finding this amusing by now.
Hoverboard got in SixSix's face and pushed him lightly. "Get in my way again, and I'll teach you how to say 'dismantled'.", he said sternly.
"Etche shontaz mar!", SixSix yelled out before flying off.
Kraab then follows, using his four legs to burrow through the ground. "Hmm.", Khyber simply pulls out his own hovering device, hops on and speeds off. Hoverboard then leaves the area, triggering one of Max's traps. In an instant, he fires the targets with his rifle, which also destroyed the whole course as well. He flies off and drops the rock with the shard behind.
The crew find themselves at an abandoned mining town, called Slaterville. "My intellimap program says this is Slaterville. Incorporated in 1857 after the discovery of silver. Went bust in the late fifties when the mine ran out.", she said as Alex just shrugged as Ben just facepalmed.
"Nice book report.", Alex said with a little smirk.
"I should've just went to summer school.", Ben muttered to himself.
"Aha! I think I found the problem.", Max said as he showed them a fuel line, this had an ice shard in it. "Leaky fuel line. I should be able to patch it up."
"Want me to go Circuit Breaker and fix it?", Alex asked cocking his eyebrow a bit.
"I think you've done enough, Alex. I'll handle this.", Max said with a smile, Alex just shrugged and walked off to check Slaterville out, Ben followed suite.
"Maybe you should, uh..."
"... make sure they don't somehow blow everything up?", Max nods in response to Alice saying this, so she went off
In town, Alex enters an old, abandoned equipment storage building. "Oh, talk about old school. Look at all this junk.", Ben remarked.
"I wonder if I can sell some of this stuff on EBay. Probably not but, whateves.", Alex said looking around the rather dark storage building.
"Alex! Ben! Where are you?", Gwen called out to him, she passed by the old storage building and saw a brief green flash. "Of course.", she said a she turned and searched for him in there. She shuddered at a cold chill, as a figure emerged from the ground.
"Hey there kid, wanna see a dead body?", Cold Soar said with a laugh.
Gwen face lit up out of embarrassment. "Sh-Shut up dipstick! I ain't afraid of you!"
Ben walked out from behind a box laughing. "Oh you should've seen your face!"
Just then, the ground is pushed up from something burrowing under it. Cold Soar drags Gwen out of the way, and Kraab shows up. "Well I am of that thing!"
"No problem, I'll handle this guy.", Cold Soar said as he floated over to Kraab. "Oh, man... greetings shrimp legs, what does a fine gentleman like you want?", he said crossing his arms
"Hand over the Omnitrix and I promise you won't suffer...much.", Kraab said as he gestured to his giant claw.
"Sorry, crabby, the watch and I are kind of...attached.", Cold Soar said as as he simply shrugged.
"Not for long.", Kraab said as the changeling simply scoffed.
"You have no idea who you're messing with."
"I was just about to say the same thing."
Cold Soar simply chuckled at this. "Wanna see a Magic trick then? Abraca- go fuck yourself!", Cold Soar blasted ice at him, sending Kraab flying back. "Go, get outta here!"
"What about you-" Ben was cut off as Cold Soar formed a mace from his ice. "Point taken. Let's go.", Ben and Gwen quickly ran off as Cold Soar phased into the ground.
Kraab activated a built in heater that melted the frost on his chest plate before getting up. He used his rotating head to find where he could be, just as he did, he was met with an icy mace to his head. Kraab stumbled back and growled. "Arrogant little shit!"
Cold Soar turned tangible once again, his ice mace cracking and falling off. "Here's a suggestion, leave or die.", he hissed out.
"Heh, you're about as much of a dimwit too.", Kraab said as he prepared a weapon. Right as Cold Soar turned intangible, he blasted him with electricity, the moth like alien screamed in pain. "You figured out how to make simple weapons out of ice, gotta say it's impressive for someone of your age. Though-", he was blinded by a green flash.
Kraab's cybernetic eyes managed to adjust before he was met with the 12 foot behemoth that was Muscle Bound. "Quite the flatterer you are.", he said before punching Kraab into a crate.
Kraab recovered quickly before quickly realizing something. "Oh boy.", Kraab was grabbed by his head tjen being thrown out of the storage building and into the sky.
"When in doubt, throw them into the air.", Muscle Bound said as he slapped the Omnitrix emblem. "Gotta go.", Alex said running out of the storage building, Ben had the door opened as he had told Max to get it started.
Alex ran in the Rust Bucket and a second after, Ben closed the door and the RV sped off. Right as Kraab landed through another building. "Ow."
~
"No sign of the crab guy yet.", Gwen said looking out the window of the booth they sat in.
"Well he better not show up if he knows what's good for em.", Ben said as he confidently patted Alex's shoulder, suddenly they heard something land on the roof of the RV, shortly after an energy buzzsaw started to cut a hole.
SixSix pried open the metallic flaps he made. "Gongai te!", he yelled out, which could've just been translated to 'surprise'
"Ya had to jinx it!", Alex smacked Ben on the back of the head, suddenly the Rust Bucket came to a sudden halt, sending SixSix face first into the asphalt. They take a quick look outside shows that all the tires have been severely popped by something.
"In there!", Max pointed at the entrance of a mine, in which they ran over as they heard something underground.
SixSix got up and aimed a pistol at them, before Kraab erupted out of the ground. "Hey there asshole!"
~
They ran through the hallways of the mine and turned a corner, with Ben peering over to the entrance to see no one. "Phew, coast is clear."
"You sure 'bout that?", they turned to see Khyber walking from the shadows, his rifle in hand.
"Oh my god stop it!", Alex looked at Ben in annoyance before they started running the opposite direction of Khyber, who didn't even bother giving chance right away, but did give them a ten second head start.
After some running, they eventually end up at the center of the mine. With a large canyon in-between them and safety. "Now what?", she asked curiously.
Max turned his head to a nearby lift. "We take a ride.", the tall elderly man said as he picked up his grandchildren and pushed them into the lift, he activated it and leapt into it. "Alex! C'mon!"
Alex headed the footsteps of Khyber nearing before kicking the cart. "I got this.", he said as Max's eyes widened.
"Alex! No, that's just what they want!", Max knew this from some... experiences, but he was blinded by a green light.
Khyber finally ran out but was met with a punch to his helmet by Sunburn, before he used his extremely closed distance to blast him in the face, sending Khyber into their rocky terrain, his helmet starting to crack.
"Alex! Let's go!", Ben yelled out as Sunburn popped his knuckles.
"Nah, I'll catch up.", Sunburn said as he slapped the Omnitrix lightly, turning into Drag Racer and running up the wall as the lift took the others to safety. SixSix came flying in but was tackled out of the air and through several of the wooden floors. SixSix manages to bat away Drag Racer but he was instantly back on the offensive.
SixSix activated a shield and used it to block with before the clawed hand pierced through and struck his chest plate. Drag Racer threw SixSix into the air in hopes of using his speed to knock him unconscious, but once he started backing up, a rope made of energy wrapped around his ankles and caused him to trip. Drag Racer decided again to transform, turning into Crazy Diamond and shooting at Khyber, who rolled out the way.
Kraab bursted out from above and attempted to land on him, but the crystalline alien rolled out the way and threw boomerang shaped shards. Kraab used his gigantic claw to block and blasted at him with electricity, in which Crazy Diamond just took without a care in the world before being thrown into the air by SixSix with Khyber jumping up high enough to throw him into the wall. The three surrounded him and started beating on him, Kraab backhanding him with his giant claw, in which SixSix reacted with a roundhouse kick to Crazy Diamond's abdomen in which Khyber uppercutted him back
"Damn bastards.", Crazy Diamond grits his teeth and uses his diamond hard fist to punch Khyber again, before being picked up by Kraab's claw then slammed him into the wall.
"Back off Premann.", Kraab was put into a chokehold before being thrown away by Khyber.
"Oh go fuck yourself, that rewards mine.", Kraab quickly hoisted himself up.
SixSix hovered above him with crossed arms. "E-chontaz maaq."
"Well you didn't have to make it personal!"
"This prey is mine.", Khyber said as he just decided to rip off his helmet considering it was broken. Revealing a turquoise head with a large lower jaw which has teeth fused with his lips. He has dark red sunken eyes, as well as gills under his cheek. "End of discussion."
"Shove a sock in it Zaroffian. I can kill you with a fucking breath!", Kraab said as he readied his claw for an attack.
"If you're so confident, then go right ahea- hmm?" The three huntsman looked down to see a round object fall into place, before exploding into a cloud of gas, rendering the three bounty hunters unconscious.
Hoverboard flies in and grabs Crazy Diamond by one of his back shards, flying back into town before throwing him into a few crates. "Billions of organisms on this planet, and the Omnitrix finds itself attached to an overconfident youth."
"Please, like I told your buddies, this hunk of junk can't come off. I tried.", Crazy Diamond said as he jolted up.
Hoverboard shook his head before purposely turning his back on him. "Your ignorant to believe you could take it off in the first place. It's power utilizes extraterrestrial DNA which binds with the hosts own genetic structure, it cannot simply be removed like taking off a hat.", Crazy Diamond charged at him, turning his arm into a blade. Hoverboard effortlessly dodged and uppercutted him back into a crate. "Though I must admit, your performance against the Bounty Hunters was quite impressive. However your choice of strategy is attacking without thinking. Do you ever pause to consider your actions?"
Crazy Diamond managed to pull himself out of the crate with a growl. "Give me a break, I had it handled."
"A true warrior would've ended the fight by using their intelligence, not solely power.", Hoverboard crossed his arms and taunted him with a gesture.
"It was a three against one.", Crazy Diamond grunted turning his arms into blades and charging at him.
Hoverboard effortlessly blocked and dodged any swing or hit he attempted. "You were moments away from losing your life and the Omnitrix. Your victory should've been quick, effortless and efficient.", he backhanded Crazy Diamond before ducking under another swing and throwing him to the ground. "The Omnitrix is not some toy for your amusement, it's the most powerful weapon throughout the universe. The key to ending an epic battle between good and evil."
"And whose side are you on?", Crazy Diamond asked as he pushed Hoverboard off.
"You're still alive, are you not?"
"So you're a good guy?", Crazy Diamond's eyes widened as he got up.
"In laymen's term, yes. My mission is to retrieve the Omnitrix at all cost, and since it is attached to you, I'll be bringing you with me for its removal.", Hoverboard said with a dead serious tone.
"Yeah... no.", Crazy Diamond punched Hoverboard back, causing the humanoid to stagger but quickly regain balance. However he was met with a barrage of crystalline projectiles shot at him, in which Hoverboard managed to effortlessly dodge and slid under another punch from Crazy Diamond's free hand before launching him into the air with another powerful uppercut.
Right as Crazy Diamond fell back down, he kicked him back into the crates. "I must admit, you've grown accustomed to the transformation your currently in, and with proper training you could pose a challenge to me. But as you are now, you've barely started to understand it's true potential."
Crazy Diamond rubbed his jaw and got back up. "Oh yeah? Well what makes you such an expert?", right as he said this, Hoverboard retracted his helmet. Revealing a near identical face, however, Hoverboard had a sort of beard made of crystals. "Woah... you're like me."
"You and I are of the same species currently. However the difference is I'm a noble warrior, while you're an impulsive hothead.", Hoverboard said poking Crazy Diamond's chest. "I am Tetrax Shard of the Petrosapian's.", right then, Crazy Diamond exploded in a green flash, reverting him to human. "We've wasted too much time." He said before picking up Alex who attempted to wiggle out.
Tetrax looked around to see his hoverboard was gone, looking up to see Khyber waving at him. "Looking for this mate?", the Zaroffian lifted up the large black disc. "You're not leaving this dirt ball with the Omnitrix, and just for insurance.", he waved in Kraab, walking in with Ben held by the neck, SixSix walking out shortly after with a cord wrapped around Max's neck and holding Gwen by the collar. "We've decided on an agreement, they'll split the reward while I take your head."
Kraab opened up his giant claw and blasted at Tetrax, who turned his back and blocked the attack before running off, Kraab repeatedly shooting at Tetrax as he threw Alex through a window of an abandoned pub before bursting through the doors shortly after. "Need we remind you that we need the Omnitrix in tact?"
"Ejoi durr.", SixSix said as Khyber landed down and took Ben out of Kraab's hand.
"Dont blow a gasket shitheads, I know what I'm doing.", Kraab turned his head around before turning it back and continued blasting.
~
"Fuck are we waiting for? We gotta help them.", Alex tried to move past Tetrax before being lifted up by the collar.
"A foolish decision, you cannot save them. Keeping the Omnitrix secure is our only priority, so the obvious choice is for me to retrieve my hoverboard so we can get off this planet.", Tetrax said before throwing Alex into a table. "Stay here."
"Whats with you and throwing me.", Alex said as he rubbed his head.
Right as Kraab stopped firing, Tetrax used that quick few seconds to leap out and throw a barrage of crystalline shards at SixSix, sending him staggering back and loosening his grip on Max, in which he started slipping out of the cord with Gwen prying his fingers off. Jamming one of his fingers in the the ground, a giant flat crystal erupted and sent Khyber into the air before returning back into the ground. The Tennyson's hid behind a cart as Tetrax drop kicked Kraab, grabbing his hoverboard and activating it and taking into the sky.
Khyber landed on his face quickly getting up and along with SixSix they started shooting at Tetrax. However the Petrosapian maneuvered out the way before leaping down and landing on SixSix, Tetrax quickly grabbed Khyber by his neck and head butted him then throwing him into SixSix.
Alex watched from the inside of the pub before going deeper in. Activating the Omnitrix, he scrolled to Muscle Bound. "Nah; let's change the strategies up.", swiftly ticking the dial he selected another alien then transformed into him.
This alien was a light orange crab-like in appearance with pincers for hands with bright blue eyes. His skull plating had black markings on them. Wearing a black and white breathing brace that also held the Omnitrix emblem. "Potentially useful objects.", he saw holographic images of Kraab, Khyber and SixSix along with the environment around him. "Their advantage; superior numbers. My advantage; superior intelligence."
He opens up his skull plates, revealing his unnaturally large greenish brain and floated out of the pub and landed between the four of them. "I told you to stay out of my way!", Tetrax yelled in which Kracklescean didn't even listen.
"Kraab, arrogant, used to being in charge. He will strike first.", Kracklescean's prediction came true shortly after as Kraab blasted at him. "Block with shield.", he used his electrokinesis to lift up a cart and block it with the cart, being sent back and into Khyber and right into another building. "Momentarily neutralizing. Dodge.", he scurried away as SixSix started blasting at him.
Kraab growled before being forced up against a wall. "Electrokinetic blast to nerve cluster. Kraab shuts down. Dodge.", Kracklescean climbed up and dodged a shot from Khyber. "Low voltage electrokinetic strike.", he shot a small blast at his gills, causing Khyber to seize up and fall to the ground. SixSix took to the sky and said something in his alien language. "Quite the foul language you have there.", Kracklescean's unmoving mouth curved to a smile.
SixSix charged at him as Kracklescean opened up his skull plates again. "5000 volt electrokinetic blast to power cell.", SixSix was met with a blast that oddly curved and struck his jet pack. "Jetpack malfunctions.", as he thought this, SixSix started spinning through the air and crashing into supports of a rusty water tower. SixSix's armor then shuts down and lands near Kraab and Khyber. And shortly after, the water tower falls and lands on them. "Estimated recovery time. Forty minutes.", Kracklescean as he scurried back over and looked up at Tetrax.
"Not bad, for a human.", Tetrax said as Kracklescean opened up his skull plates again, using his electrokinesis to form a thumbs up out of the electricity. Tetrax takes out a small cube and tosses it at them. The cube expands and covers them, then contracts, shrinking the hunters along with it. "I'll return as soon as I am able, the Omnitrix seems to be in good hands until then. This may be of some use.", Tetrax said as he handed over his hoverboard as Kracklescean de-transformed.
"Sick.", Alex said as he gave Tetrax an actual thumbs up. "Guessing you lied huh?"
"Of course.", Tetrax nodded as his helmet wrapped around his head again and teleported in a red glow.
The Tennyson trio got out of hiding finally, Max rubbing his neck in slight pain. "Well, this was an... interesting day."
Alex walked up to Ben and handed him the hoverboard. "Here ya go, I don't need it if I can fly."
Ben eagerly grabbed the hoverboard. "Awesome!", he pressed the small button and expanded the black disc, hopping on and quickly flying around.
"How come you guys get the cool alien junk?", Gwen crossed her arms as Alex playfully stuck his tongue out at her.
On ship from earlier, the alien who hired them watches as Tetrax leaves. He let out a deep breath. "Betrayed.", the being spat out.
His robotic subordinate walks up to the capsule its in currently with a strange looking tablet. "Sensors indicate the Omnitrix is not with the mercenaries."
"It would appear the creature who possesses the Omnitrix is as clever as it is fierce. But I shall not be denied.", the little glass that shown inside had two, red eyes glowing out of pure anger.
/End/
