Dan 10 Reboot S2 Ep 1: Out to Launch
Welcome to season 2 of Dan 10:Reboot! New villains! New Allies! New Adventures! And new Ultimates!
Let's start by saying that some of the Ultimate's designs are based on Insane-Mane's version of them. They will be modified on account of Dan's age. A few of them will be from other sources on Deviantart.
In any case... Let's begin!
Intro:
A green glowing, steel pod was flying through space, hurtling towards earth as it crashes, making a huge green flash.
The camera zooms out from the glowing symbol on the Ultimatrix as Dan looks up close at it.
He then activates it while smirking at the camera, raising his hand high and slapping it down on the core.
The background turns all green as Dan morphed into Ultimate Four Arms, who pumps his upper fists while cracking his middle ones and slamming his lower pair against each other with fire burst coming off them a smirk.
A white number appears on the left side, starting at 1.
"Dan 10!"
2: Ultimate Heatblast ignites a fire ball in 1 hand while is other morphs into a magma cannon with lava drooling out of it..
"Dan 10."
3: Ultimate XLR8 zooms into the right and speeds off in a blink, leaving behind green lightning.
4: Ultimate Diamondhead swaps his right arm across as it turns into a laser blade while 3 floating crystals hovers near him.
"DAN 10!"
5: Ultimate Cannonbolt uncurls and poses.
"Dan 10!"
"Dan 10."
6: A shadow figure shows with a question mark on it
7: Ultimate Grey Matter hovers up and forms his combat body, giving 2 thumbs up as his middle eye glows.
"DAN 10!"
8: Ultimate Water Hazard lands by his jetpack and pinches his claws.
"Dan 10."
9: Ultimate Wildvine chuckes out his seed bombs as fly traps extend out of his back and snaps at the camer
10: Ultimate Big Chill phases through the number, freezing it in a instant and zooms near the camera.
"DAN 10!"
U. Big Chill's head turns back into Dan's as it rotates.
The camera zooms out to reveal Max and Kate by his side.
Dan gave a a fistbump to both of them.
The 2 then ran off-screen, making Dan run towards the camera with a look determination.
He then froze as the series logo appeared above along with his alien, 5 on each side.
It has been a few days after the whole Vilgax incident. And what better way to relax, then to be in Cape Canaveral, watching a shuttle launch. The Tennysons were on top of the RV, waiting for the big launch. They had just heard the announcer said that the launch will begin in 10 mins. "Wow! The Pioneer Model-E! It's even better then I imagine!" Kate spoke in awe as she gazes at the futuristic craft through binoculars, to which her brother tried to swipe to no anvil. "Dan! Quit it! I want to see the ship!"
"Well, I want to see Captain McCabe! Grandpa!" "Here's an idea: How about sharing the binoculars?" The kids tried to, but Kate elbows her brother away as Max chuckles. "Who knew that you 2 are into Space launches?" Kate responds back as Dan tries to see far away. "Of course! This is the first fusion power plane capable of low-orbit flight." "The ship's okay. But It's really about the pilot!" Dan adds in as he fantasies the plane flying and firing in space. "And they got the best one of them all: Captain Betts McCabe! The only astronaut that played chicken with an asteroid and win!"
"Dan." Kate points out. "There's more people to this: Engineers. Ground Control." "Don't forget about the taxpayers that made this possible." Max winks out. "Just think of the impact this project will have on humanity itself." Kate sighs out as Max asks his grandson about the pilot. "So, where is Captain McCabe?" "THERE SHE IS!" Dan exclaims as he points at a black haired, African skinned woman wearing a green and white astronaut suit. The woman waves and enters the ship.
"Good afternoon, Ground control! Let's get this show on the road. This plane isn't going to fly itself." "….Actually, Captain. It is." "What do you mean?" "We'll be piloting the Pioneer from down here. You're more of an guest of honor." "Think of it like a victory lap after your very long career." "ROBBY! Do you copy, Captain McCabe?" "I read you loud and clear, Ground control!" The woman shuts off the coms as she crosses her arms in frustration, mumbling in anger. "Victory Lap. I'll show you victory Lap!"
Just as the back doors of the ship closes, engulfing the are in darkness with the only light source is from the fusion core, a crate opens up as a massive figure steps out. His metal boots making clunking sounds as he grumbles to himself. "Vilgax, the terror of the cosmos! Forced to sneak through the shadows itself. It's humiliating!"
The alien titan moves into the light, showing that his left side has burnt marks on it. He also has a mask with 2 tubs attached to his back armor with 3 red lines on the breather, helping out his damaged lungs. His crown was gone as a scar goes over his right eye. "No matter! This Fusion Core is just what I need." The alien Warlord spoke out as he approaches the pillar.
"All right, Captain McCabe! We're about to start the countdown for takeoff! Do you copy?" "Roger, Ground control." But just as the woman was bored, Vilgax's tentacles grabs her and pulls her back by surprise. "HEY! WHAT ARE?! AHHH!"
The ship's engines ignite and blasts off, zooming off as the crew were surprised by the turn of events. "What's going on? Did we missed the countdown?" Max questions as the youths were confused. "I'm not sure." Just then, Dan notices something, snatching the Binoculars. "Wait!? Is that-? It can't be." He focuses the lens, clearing up, only to see Vilgax at the controls.
"IT'S VILGAX!" "VILGAX?!" Both family members exclaims in shock as Dan tosses the lens back to them, making them see the squid alien as Dan dials his new Ultimatrix. "It is him!" Grandpa exclaims as Kate question in surprise. "But you said that Vilgax is trapped in a crystal prison underneath a volcano! How can he be back?!" "He must have busted out at the last sec! I'm on it!" He morphs into XLR8.
"Dan, wait! We need to—" "TOO LATE!" The alien speedster zooms over the water and to the runway, catching up with this ship and quickly leaping on the wing, just as it was lifting up. "Made it! Now, how to get in?" But just then, the watch symbol starts timing out, making the speedster exclaim in dread. "Oh no! Don't!" FLASH Dan screams as he hangs on for life!
Max exclaims in worriment from his binoculars. "Dan's in trouble!" "HANG ON BRO! BACKUP IS ON THE WAY!"
As the boy hangs on for life, he notices his device recharged. "All right! Instant charge! Give me someone good!" He pleas as he slaps down on the dial, showing Gray Matter's icon. FLASH
His eyes grew minus pupils as he holds his head as it morph into a grey brain, which then turns into a frog-like one as he spins around. His eyes became bulbous and black outline circles them as gills forms on his cheeks. His hand became grey, slimy and sticky as fingerless gloves engulfed them as his feet went through the same thing. He shrinks down and poses as the transform was finished.
Grey Matter uses his sticky fingers to hold on and quickly climbs under the wing. "If I can reach the landing gear, then I can make it inside!" Using his small structure and quick agility, he latches on the wheel as it retracts up, making the ship fly upward.
"Good! Grey Matter made it inside." Max points out, only to notice Kate was typing on her laptop. "What are you doing?" "I'm hacking into the mainframe of Mission Control. So I can get into the navigation systems to steer the plane back." Max was very concerned about the laws his granddaughter is breaking right now. "Hacking into a government computer? I don't know about this."
"Grandpa. We're the only ones that knows about Vilgax and the only ones that can stop him. Mission Control never handled anything like him before." Max sighs out. "All right… But you better not do something like this again young lady!"
Meanwhile, Vilgax was grumbling as he works the controls. "Pitiful! This craft is barley fit for a mere foot soldier!" "Ground Control to intruder. Identify yourself! What are you doing!?" "Hmmppp! I am Vilgax, Conqueror of worlds! I am taking this ship for the conquest of your pathetic home world." "But there are not weapons on the Pioneer at all!" "Fools! The engine core powering it is what I seek. And within the hour, I can modify it to wreck destruction on your Solar System!" Vilgax cuts off the comms as he continues his plan.
Grey Matter made his way through the inner workings of the ship. "Here we are! Now to find the center of this craft." He leaps through a floor grate, appearing in the engine room as he gazes up at the fusion core. "Then again, being small can be problematic. Hmm… Maybe if I reroute the containment mechanism and—" BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH "Never mind." Dan groans out.
Just then, a crate got kicked open, making McCabe stomps out in a boxing position. "All right, Squid head! You may have got the drop on me! But I'm going to—" The woman notices the kid as the boy merely waves. "Hey."
"Got it! I'm in!" Kate exclaims as Max looks over with a smile. "Way to go, Pumpkin! Knew you can do it!" "Thanks! Now to get Dan back…" She then made the core dropped to 70% power, unaware that Vilgax notices as well.
McCabe sat on a box as she summarizes what she's been told. "So, this Vilgax person wants my ship for the Fusion Core? So he can conquer other planets with it?" "Exactly! That's why he need to be stopped right now!" Dan exclaims as he observes the control doors. "Now, if we can just figure out a way through these doors…" "Say no more! I got this!" McCabe spoke as she tries to wedge a metal pipe between, but have no luck.
"Sit tight! I'm going to find a bigger stick." As Dan watches the woman, he starts realizing something from before: That Vilgax is too tough to fight alone. "Kate and Grandpa were right. Vilgax can't be taken alone. Maybe we do need extra help." "Then it's a good thing I'm here, little brother." "KATE! IS that you!?"
The Teen Girl had a headset on as she spoke, watching from a camera. "I hacked into the navigation! But Vilgax locked me out. Can you get in the Cockpit?" Dan points out. "Yeah! See if you can open the doors? All right, Captain! I'll handle Vilgax! While you get the controls." But the woman didn't listen as she turns with a weapon. "Sit tight, kid! I'm going to handle octo-breath myself!" "What?! No!" But just as the kid hero spoke back, the doors open, sending a chill up Dan's spine as he glances back.
Vilgax notices the doors were open, turning back to lay his eyes upon the very wielder of the Ultimatrix. The very same person that destroyed his old ship. And the very person that gave him his scars. "TENNYSON!" Vilgax hisses out as his eyes glowed while narrowing, making Dan chuckles as he walks back, slapping on the still charging gauntlet while sweating. "Hey… Vilgax! Been a while! Cool tan line and mask you got there."
"TAN LINE!? MASK!?" Vilgax roars out as he stomps forward, just as McCabe charged. But the warlord, merely backfist the woman into a pile of crate, knocking her out. "Back to one-on-one, boy!" BEEP Dan grins as he pushes the black button, making the core rises up as he dials in Diamondhead. "Actually, it's 10 on 1!" FLASH
He holds out his arms as his left one got engulfed in pale green, translucent-like crystals, which transformed into a muscular, blocky arm with four fingers, made out of the substance. The same thing happens to his left arm as well. He then turns around as 2 huge shard-spikes grew out his back along with mini ones surrounding them. His head gets engulfed and turns into a strong jawed one with green eyes and a point on the back. But just then, the dial starts surging green and blue lighting. "DIAMON—WHOA! Huh?!" An energy wave emerges from the dial, making 4 small spikes appear on it as the wave changes the alien, making him more different.
Diamondhead is completely different from before! He is now a bit buffer and his crystal color is now dark blue. His sleeveless jumpsuit kept it's white collar, but is now black on the shoulders and green on the rest, ending at black boots with a black strip down the front with the changed Ultimatrix symbol on it. His back spikes are more blade-like and comes into 2, moving to his shoulders as well. His shoulders are spiked as well as his fore arms. His jaw is now like a mouth guard and has a small blade on top like a Mohawk as he lost his crest. He lastly has black boots with white soles.
"This is totally different!" He was shocked as his fore arms equipped katar-like blades! "But I like it!" Diamondhead charges at Vilgax, only for the warlord to kick him back into the core. "Hey! Watch it! Kate said this thing was dangerous!" "Exactly why I'm stealing it!" Vilgax tosses him away and fires his eye beam, making Diamondhead quickly blocks it, only to be amazed for the energy to travel to his wrist blade and converted into green energy, enhancing his blades. "WHOA! Thanks for the charge!"
Vilgax boosted his arms and charged, making the 2 engage for a while in melee combat. They both backed off as the squid alien growls at seeing the brunt marks on his arm. He then tires another punch, only for the hero to make a shield. CLANG "GAAAHHHH!" Vilgax exclaims as he waved his sprain hand. "All right! Likening these new enhanced powers!"
But the distraction was long enough for Vilgax to grab and tossed him, making the hero recovered and spring off a wall, slicing through a few crates, only to be surprised by an uppercut that knocks into the ceiling, sending him falling as Vilgax hammered him down. "OW!" Kate and Max got worried about Dan. The alien hero struggles to get up as Vilgax stomps on his body. "Even with your discovery of the evolution function, you are still weak as ever, Tennyson! Alone you can't stop me!"
"Good thing he's not alone, pal!" Vilgax glares at the human pilot, firing his beams as she takes cover. "You might be right." Diamondhead mumbles. "Good thing I got a smart sister! KATE! OPEN THE HATCH!" "WHAT?!" "JUST DO IT!" The girl wasn't sure, but Max nods firmly, making the girl types a few keys. "Hang on, Captain!" Diamondhead hollers out as the hatch opens, making Vilgax tumbles out with some crates as the woman grabs hold of a bar.
"Nice job! Oh, no! BEHIND YOU!" The alien looks back as he stabs a spike in the ground for support, seeing Vilgax clawing his way in. "YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE, BOY! RRRAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!" "Whoa! Watch it! You can give a kid nightmares." He snaps back as he holds out his left hand, only to be amazed by the blade retracting back as an Ultra-violent beam of energy shoots out of it. "IMPOSSIBLE!" The beam knocks Vilgax out!
"WHOA! I had no idea Diamondhead can do stuff like that!" He spoke in awe at himself. But Vilgax won't give up, as demonstrated by firing a energy eye blast at a wing, blowing off a part of it as it spirals out of control! "REALLY! WE COULDN'T TOUCH DOWN GENTLY AFTER ALL THAT!?"
Kate types furiously as she yells. "I'm not panicking, you 2! We're going to fix this! YOU HEAR ME!?"
"I think I can steer the ship, manually! But I need a new wing! Hey, rocky! Think you can use that diamond Mumbo-Jumbo to fix it?!" Diamondhead responds back. "That's what I do best, Captain McCabe!" The woman smirks out. "Good! Cause we got one shot at this! Let's making the people watching proud!" The alien quickly leans out. "I hope I still have the old powers…" He fires some crystal at the broken part, making a crystal replica of the old wing. "ALL RIGHT! I still got them! YOU'RE GOOD, CAPTAIN!"
McCabe rush to the controls, sitting down and activating Manuel Mode! "Hang on!" She steers the ship upward, making it fly straight as she radios in. "Ground Control. This Captain Betts McCabe, coming in for a landing! Over!" "CAPTAIN MCCABE!"
Later, a crowd of people were talking and phrasing the woman as Dan watches from away, both hands in his pockets. "DAN!" The boy glances back as his family came up to him "Glade to see you all right, sport!" Max chuckles out as Kate questions with a smirk. "How was your solo mission?" "Okay… I did had some help." They all chuckled as they walked back to the RV.
"By the way, Dan. What happened back there with Diamondhead?" "I don't know. But it was amazing! I felt this sudden surge of energy flowed through me! Then, this weird green wave washed over me changing me in ways I never expected! And I felt like all of Diamondhead's powers were turbo-charged!" Max ponders as he spoke out. "Now I think about, Vilgax mentioned an 'Evolution Function' before. That must had been it! That feature must have evolved your alien."
Dan was confused. "'Evolved?'" "Yeah! See, I learned that Evolution is the process when a being or plant undergoes a change to it's natural—" Dan snores loudly, interrupting the teen as she glances in annoyance. "Huh? Oh, sorry. Science nap. You were saying?" "—Appearance, depend on situations and the environment to best suit for each—" Dan snores again, making Kate smacks his arm, waking him up.
Kate groans as she rolls her eyes. "Let me put this in simple terms: Basically, that function evolves your alien into a more powerful form!" "AHHHH! I get it now! Why didn't you just say so in the first place?" The contained on as Dan ponders. "But you know, If Diamondhead can do that, I wonder if all my aliens have Ultimate forms as well!?" "'Ultimate Forms'?" "What? There catchy and fits!" Max adds in. "Well, we'll have to see soon! But for now, let's rest up for a bit." The kids smiles and agrees as they head inside. Dan stops for a sec to glance at his Ultimatrix, glancing at Diamondhead's icon before changing it to Heatblast's. "Can't wait."
