Alex was turning the dial, attempting to enter a code to unlock another alien considering he figured it was the same situation for Extinction. Though he hoped he didn't accidentally turn it off. "Psst, Alex." Ben purposely bumped into him.
Alex completely forgot what they were doing, but he quickly remembered they were hiking a trail in Yellowstone National Park. "Wassup man?"
"Could you go Drag Racer and make a quick stop at that burger place in Casper?", Ben asked the older boy.
Alex thought on it, before nodding. "Sure, I don't see why not."
"Oh c'mon you guys, Yellowstone just so happens to be the coolest place around. Just hang out," Gwen said admiring the scenery.
"Gwen's right, and we can life right off the land." Max said as he rolled over a log, showing hundreds grub worms. He picked one up and smiled. "Full of protein," Max said as he dropped one into his mouth. "Grill em up with sun dried tomato paste and they're delicious."
"So what do you want?" Alex asked turning to Gwen who looked utterly disgusted. Although Alex himself was sort of a fan of alien cuisine and thought some of it tasted nice, others... not so much.
"I'll take mine with Chili."
"I'll take mine with extra pickles!"
"Pickles suck, like I'm being honest here.", Alex activated the Omnitrix, turned the dial around and without looking slammed down. "What the- oh shit!" A deeper voice said as a loud thud was heard as he fell to the ground. This new alien is a hulking, broad-shouldered alien covered in natural, yellow armor plating on his back, shoulders, and the backs of his arms. He is mostly white with black on his upper half and has four claws on both of his hands. The black outline formed sort of boots and gloves. With sharp teeth, yellow eyes, and wore the Omnitrix emblem on his forehead.
"Wow, that's a heroic pose.", Gwen said looking down at the new alien with Max and Ben.
"Oh you're so funny.", the new pill-bug like alien said annoyed as Max and Ben helped him up.
"What a lame alien.", Ben said noticing how besides their size, he didn't look to be a good one.
"Yeah but there's always a different way to execute the powers... if I could figure it out.", Alex made a mental note to name him later. "He's probably pretty strong but not very fast.", he tapped his lower lip with one of his claws.
All of a sudden, a meteor flies overhead and crashes a short distance away. "Move it!" Gwen said as she, Ben and Max moved out of the way, however Alex stumbles and falls to the ground again as the meteor flew and crashed somewhere else.
"Well, gotta go." Alex said as he rolled up into a ball, with his backplates and the plates on his hands covering him. His sphere form has semi-circular stripes across his body, with black lines around the circular plates, and his side plates are the plates on his shoulders and begins rolling towards the crash site.
"Well, at least he's going on the direction.", Ben said with a shrug as he, Gwen and Max chased after the speeding ball.
Alex was the first one there obviously, unrolling and standing up, looking at an object that was large and red, comparable to Extinction's full size. "Man, thus things huge!", he said before another tremor occurred which caused him to fall.
The Tennyson Trio arrived as it started to crack. "I think it's alive.", suddenly, a large bluish appendage sprouted out. Alex quickly rolled back up into a ball and sped away as the other three did the same.
The shell shattered, revealing a large bug like alien it was pink and appeared similar to a tick. With three blue organs on both sides, resembling eyes which expelled a sort of gas. Alex and Max covered their noses. "And quite aromatic."
"I just thought that was Ben not taking a shower for three days.", Gwen said pinching her nose.
Ben scoffed. "Four and counting actually."
A ship arrives shortly after and three aliens exit the ship riding platforms that fly through the use of an energy ball positioned directly below them. The first is a tall, pale-skinned alien with six tentacle-like feet. The second is shorter with six arms and yellow skin. The final alien is of medium height, has four eyestalks, and carries a large ax. "Rejoice, he has arrived in all his glory." He said as the three floated over to them.
The yellow one 'Six Arm' or 'the Interpreter' floated right in front of the tick. "I shall await his proclamation," he said as he pressed up his head against its publish shell.
"Who are you guys?" Max asked cocking an eyebrow.
"You should not panic for we are not here for violence, only for peace.", the Leader said with a peaceful tone.
"Yeah, that's what they all say before deciding to blow you to bits.", Ben said with a cocked eyebrow.
"Mmm, an Earthling with an attitude. I've heard they exist here in large numbers, or should I say did?" The Enforcer Alien said floating past them.
"Along with an Arburian Pelarota to boot.", the Leader said, slightly intrigued. "His presence here must be a sign provided by The Great One, is he not tremendous?" The leader said referring to the large tick like alien.
"All hail The Tremendous Great One!" All three of them said, sounding like a cult.
"But you're quite a ways from home, aren't you?" The Enforcer said, not even looking the slightest bit interested, more annoyed than anything really.
"Oh y'know, goin on vacation, the usual.", Alex said with a joking tone.
"Unfortunately there is nothing to go back to, The Great One purified your planet two weeks ago.", The Enforcer said before being shushed.
"Be silent, he is speaking to me.", the interpreter said, ecstatic that it was speaking, although the others didn't hear anything. "The Great One says your planet shall be purified before the next moon, you are quite lucky." He said as suddenly, the ground started turning darker , along with the surrounding area.
"Yeah... I don't think so.", Alex looked around.
"Oh no, it is quite the experience. Let me show you.", the leader said as the Enforcer just groaned.
"Not the audio visual thing again The enforcer said genuinely annoyed.
Regardless, a purple beam shot out of his forehead, showing a holographic planet. "We've followed the Great One from Planet to Planet, galaxy to galaxy after he paid a visit to each and every one of our planet.", the hologram showed the Great One sitting on top of a random area, spreading its limbs deep into the crust. "Notice the technique of the deep borrowing into the planet, rotting it from the inside and ingesting it. Your cities will be laid to waste, your oceans will be dried up, your mountains will crumble."
"It will be the end of the world, as you humans put it.", The Enforcer causally stated.
"Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!"
"Uhhh... no?", Alex quickly rolled up into a ball and sped towards The Leader, before being knocked away by The Enforcer.
"Much better.", The Enforcer sighed.
"Alex!", Max and the other two ran after the speeding ball as it destroyed every tree in his path, bouncing around from them. The three found his path of destruction and looked around before being tackled and sent tumbling down a hill, in the midst of it The Omnitrix timed out.
"The second alien you got basically does nothing but roll around.", Ben said getting up and dusting himself off as the other three does the same.
"Yeah, but I'm more worried about the giant tick about to end the entire world in the span of a day then a new alien.", Alex said as they all noticed the plant life such as the trees melding together in some points and growing sacks.
"We gotta get back up that hill and destroy that thing before it destroys everything.", Max said as Alex looked at Ben.
"Told ya you should've brought your Hoverboard.", Ben shot a glance at him before the started to comb up the hill.
As soon as they reached the top they were met with tentacles sprout ring from the ground, screeching. "Okay, that's kinda sick."
"I think we would remember if these were here before right?", Gwen shivered as one of them sniffed her.
"That tick is mutating the landscape probably.", Max said, before Gwen decided to smack one of them for getting too close. In retaliation, the tentacles shot out and wrapped around the four, slowly descending into the ground.
"Alex! Don't you think it's a good time to go hero?!", Gwen growled as she created an energy dome around herself, which was quickly broken.
"Give me a break this thing JUST timed out!", Alex said as the red suddenly blinked to life as soon as he was submerged. Ice started to from that spot as Cold Soar flew out of the ground unfolding his poncho and swooping in, using his feet to pick up Ben while he picked up Max and Gwen with his hands before taking off.
"I think it's time for these things to chill out.", Cold Soar turned around and sent out a gust of cold wind that froze the tentacles in place. "Time to remove a tick.", he said before flying off, using his fingers to shoot out ice shards and stab incoming tentacles from attacking.
~
What was that?", The Enforcer Alien said, in the distance, Old Faithful had turned into what looked like a giant zit ready to pop.
"It appears part of this planet is about to be liberated.", The Leader said with a nod.
The Interpreter hovered over to the Great One and put his ear up to it. "Yes... yes... yes. I understand.", the interpreter said as he turned to his comrades. "He wishes us to see the effects of his greatness. And to witness his supreme and ultimate power." He said; as in response, they flew off.
~
"Yellowstone is becoming more corrupted by the second. Max looked around the deformed forest disgusted. They had heard a loud sound, resembling that of a beat of a drum.
"What was that?" The moth-like alien asked.
"Sounds like Old Faithful is ready to blow... and I don't know what that things poison could do once it does.", Max said not really ready to find out.
"One detour coming up," Cold Soar said as he turned and flew off to Old Faithful, which wasn't that hard since it was enormous.
~
The Leader along with his comrades floated above the giant zit, waiting patiently. "I have visual recognition of the elderly man, the underdeveloped male and the prepubescent female, but what are they riding on?", he asked confused.
"A sulfur based powerhouse. Move it losers.", Cold Soar said flying past them."
"Not until we've witness the eruption of the Great One's power.", The Leader said as he shook his head.
"We'd rather not have our planet destroyed," he said with a grin before unleashing his cold wind, which froze the top of it and immediately flew off..
However, he didn't go straight to the tick, he just placed Max, Ben, and Gwen down to the ground behind some sharp rocks. "What are you doing Alex?" Max said looking up to him.
"Flying solo.", Cold Soar said before taking to the sky again, turning intangible each time The Enforcer swung at him. Quickly countering with ice shards aimed at him then flying up as soon as he dodged them.
"Get him!", Enforcer said as they sped off after him, but they lost sight of him, they looked around and at each other. "Where did he run off too?"
"Right here!" A red flash exploded from sky as Alex dropped down and lands on the yellow worshiper's platform, knocking him off of it. The yellow worshiper survives the fall, landing on the softened ground below. "Perfect landing.", Alex smirked as he was quickly got the hang of it and sped off towards the zit.
He looked behind himself and saw the Enforcer and Leader in pursuit of him. "Hey, this isn't so hard once you figure it out.", Alex had a confident smile on his face as he noticed the two caught up. He quickly pulled up as soon as they fired at him. He maneuvered out of their energy attacks. "C'mon! you can do better then that!"
Alex said as he flew right above the zit, and propelled himself right into the air, causing the worshippers to crash into Old Faithful.
"Get us out!" The Enforcer said reeling from the pain of crashing into ice.
"Never seen an intergalactic fender bender like that before," Max chuckled as Alex had arrived in front of them.
"Need a lift?" Alex cocked an eyebrow. The three get on and fly off to the Great One... which had gotten substantially larger.
Max scratched his chin. "It's getting even bigger as it feeds," the veteran said as a green flash erupted.
"Time to put him on a diet then.", Muscle Bound said popping the knuckles of his four fists. Using his fifteen minutes, he had attempted to beat the thing down until it died... before he was slapped back by one of its limbs. "Ugh... feels like Vilgax threw me into a truck and blew it up.", Muscle Bound said as he reverted to normal.
"One down, eleven to go.", Alex said confidently as he transformed into Sunburn and shot out a giant beam of fire that completely engulfed it... it was fine.
He used Circuit Breaker's eye beam and shot at it with lasers, didn't work, not even a scratch.
He used Drag Racer and once he got distance he rammed into it with all his might. Got a bit of a crack forming there, but it wasn't what he wanted.
He transformed into Lagoon and tried to bite a chunk out of it, didn't work.
He attempted to bond with it with Parasite, all it did was burn him away.
He shot crystal projectiles at it as Crazy Diamond, didn't work either, he used a crystal construct to lift it up but all it did was sink in deeper to keep itself in the ground.
He used Trench Monkey's webs to yank it out, all it did was burn through his webs.
He beat on it relentlessly as Extinction, which gave it a few more cracks before it sent him flying away.
Lastly he used Kracklescean to electrocute it to death, however it simply smacked him away again.
After all of that, Alex was panting and trying not to cough out a lung. "Hold on.", he gagged and almost threw up. "I can do this, gimme a few more tries. I got one left.", suddenly, a purple dome surrounded them.
"It's time for the final purification of your planet, and you three along with it.", The Enforcers said, they had arrived, much more irritated than before. "And you four along with it."
The entire landscape had turned to a pale color, the trees and tentacles from before had decayed and turned into dust. The three of them were let go, and handed sponges. "Before the Great One can cleanse your planet forever, he must be cleanse," he said referring to the giant alien.
"He says; he missed us! It's not our fault Great One, please forgive us!", The Interpreter said as he and his brethren took a bow for forgiveness.
The three had gone to work scrubbing the blue substance, which also had some bugs. The remaining vegetation had turned into dust by then. "We're running out of time here.", Ben whispered to him.
"I know, I just need an opening to use that... Arburian Pelarota thing." Alex said grimacing as he swatted away a space lice.
As the three clean the Great One, it begins to shed,... no, transform, revealing a yellow shell underneath its reddish exterior. Several large, purple pores also push their way out of the shell, spitting acid at random intervals. The falling pieces of shell almost crush Alex, Ben, Gwen and Max. "His beauty..."
"His Power"
"His puss."
"The End is Upon us!!"
Alex took this opportunity as soon as he saw it. Throwing away the sponge and activating the Omnitrix, cycling through his aliens quickly and slamming it down. The green flash erupted from him, and faded quickly to reveal the pill but alien from before. "Yes! Finally!"
"Destroy them!" The Leader said as he started firing at them, Alex managed to dodge it as he rolled into a ball and sped off.
Max noticed something as he and Alice ran off... the scales had looked barely damaged by the beam. "Pick up the scales!" Max urged his grandchildren as he they ran and picked up large chunks of the shell. Right as the Enforcer slashed at them, the shell pieces worked well, completely tanking the beams.
The three started to sprint off, Max picking up another piece and using it to deflect the beams. Gwen looked up and erected an energy dome around them as soon as the Great One spat acid at them. She broke the barrier and formed a platform that allowed them to run away.
The leader was about to blast them once again, only to be sent flying by Alex. "STRIKE!" He roared out as he turned around. As the little pillar of as cracking, Alex leapt at Max, Ben and Gwen. Unrolling and grabbing them before rolling back up into a ball and landing somewhere safer.
Once again, Alex unrolled himself and smiled. "You're like a bowling ball!" Gwen said as Alex scratched his chin.
"More like a Wrecking Ball,", the newly named Wrecking Ball said with a smirk, before being sent flying back. However, the blast bounced for Alex harmlessly, so using this he managed to deflect every beam, and redirect the energy flash right back to the worshipers. "Hah, oh yeah! New guy for the win." he said as the ground started to crumble all around them. The Tennyson trio managed to run away, as Wrecking Ball sped off in his sphere form.
"YES! LET THE DIGESTION BEGIN!" The Leader said as he and his comrades had gotten aboard their platforms again, praising the being they considered to be Divine.
"Digest this!" Max said as he leapt up with all his old man strength and punched the Leader right off, taking his platform.
With this, Wrecking Ball bounced off the rocky terrain, and rolled right in front of the tick, unrolling and looking serious. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Let's see how you like it.", Wrecking Ball rolled back up and bounced off the terrain again and right into the Great One before bouncing off.
He managed to stop himself as soon as he hit the ground, thinking to himself. "If I can't take it down from the outside, then the insides are where I need to hit.", he grins as the giant pores started to suck in everything through those giant sacs on its side. He rolled up into a ball and jumped into the path, flying straight into the Tick.
With this advantage, Alex bounced off around its giant stomach before breaking free and bouncing around its internal organs, demolishing everything inside, destroying its ribcage and going right through its heart. On the outside, the Great Ones shell started to crack open, before exploding to reveal its bubbling flesh, on the inside, Alex had caused major internal bleeding, causing it to swell before exploding into slime.
"Ugh, ultimate yuck! It's raining Tick goop.", Ben shivered in disgust as Gwen erected another barrier to block the slime.
Wrecking Ball uncurled from his ball form, covered in the goop. "I'M ALIVE!!! Along with the need for a shower after."
"Nothing... the great one has been silenced forever..." The Interpreter said scratching his head nervously.
"You destroyed him!" The Leader floated to Dodgeball and smiled. "All hail to the new Great One!"
"Hail! Hail!"
"At least I don't have to scrub it anymore."
Using his remaining few minutes, Wrecking Ball looked up to them, and then to his Omnitrix, slamming down and reverting to normal. "Might wanna look for some new religion."
"Oh right... an underdeveloped human specimen," The Leader said as he and the enforcer floated off to their ship.
"Enjoy the rest of your day," the Interpreter said waving them goodbye and floating off into the ship, which took off into the sky.
"Huh," Gwen looked around as the terrain quickly seemed to heal. "Looks like everything's back to normal."
"I need a shower, like seriously.", Alex said as he wiped off the tick goop that covered him.
/End/
