Hello dear readers! Welcome to another exciting chapter of Corruption, Murder and…Redemption?
Once again, I apologize for this coming late. I left you guys with a cliffhanger for too long. Sorry about that. By the way, another Ben10 reboot alien makes his appearance but with some quirks and changes that I think would make him awesome. You'll see what I mean.
Anyway, here's the next chapter. Hope you all enjoy.
Chapter 24: He's Back, Assault and…Her Return?
Darkness – that was what Ben was supposed to see. A few seconds had passed since Ben had been teleported away by Syura's attack. Now he floated aimlessly in the unknown open space before opening his eyes and looking around him.
"Huh...? What?" Ben muttered. His head felt slightly dizzy as he became conscious. Fortunately, a second later his mind cleared up and he recalled what happened. "Oh right. That guy sent me to a void…except…is this really a void?"
Ben was slightly confused. The space he was in was clearly a dimension; however it was far from being a void. The dimension was clearly occupied and colorful with each moment the teen looked at it. He saw a good number of colorful planets in the distant, as well as lights of cosmic beams that raced through some areas in the open space. But if that wasn't enough, the teen hero saw some structures, some of which was the famous Tokyo tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
"So much for being sent into a void." Ben commented. With that he lifted his arm that possessed the Omnitrix and touched the device's faceplate with his other arm's fingers. "Now then…time to get out of…What!? Out of power?! You got to be kidding me!"
Ben immediately groaned and threw his arms to his sides. The Omnitrix was in recharge mode, so there wasn't anything he could do. But then something caught his attention and immediately made him turn to the side, becoming surprised in an instant.
"No way…That's the lightning geezer." Ben said.
Indeed, the person he was seeing right there was Grand General Budo. However, the man was inactive because he was still unconscious and badly hurt from his battle with Ben. None of that stopped the teen though, because he then 'swam' his way to the man and held on to him, shaking him soon after.
"Hey! Wake up! We're kind of in a sitch here!" Ben shouted. However, the general was unresponsive to the teen hero, thus Ben let go of him and cried out upwards in frustration. "AAAHH! What should I do now!?"
There was no response. The dimension may be vast, but it didn't seem to have any living occupant other than Ben and the Grand General of the Capital. As a result, the teen hero sighed and laid his head on the unconscious general like he was a table.
"What now…? I can't stay here…" He muttered. From there his mind began to wonder as he recalled certain events. "First Sayo…and now Ieyasu…I've really messed up. I promised the village's chief that I'll keep them safe…But here I am…Floating in an endless dimension while two of those guys are dead…" With that, Ben became depressed. "I was an idiot…I shouldn't have let Ieyasu and Tatsumi go off with Night Raid! Sure, Aria's life was in danger, but I should've tried to get them to understand! So why didn't I?!"
Again, there was no response. Perhaps that was for the best. General Budo was there, but he was far from consciousness so he didn't hear anything from the teen hero. But that didn't stop the sadness that Ben was feeling as he then closed his eyes.
Now at this rate, there was little the teen hero could do. He was lost in a strange dimension and unable to do anything. However, something then happened that caught the teen's attention. It was a flash of green light, not from his Omnitrix but from a place in front of him. Ben was confused by it but he opened his eyes and looked forward to see who it was. He was then shocked at the people he saw.
"Eunice? Azmuth?" Ben muttered.
"Well this is surprising…" said Azmuth calmly. "…but I cannot say I am not surprised."
"What are you talking about?" Ben asked, confused.
Azmuth was a being similar to one of Ben's alien form known as Greymatter. However, the only difference to that alien was that Azmuth wore black and green clothes and was far smarter. Currently, he was standing on the shoulder of Eunice, a teenage girl with short blonde hair and bright green eyes and wearing a white dress with a black collar and one stripe in the middle. She also wore black fingerless gloves and black leggings with that color also being on her headband.
"What am I talking about?!" Azmuth questioned rhetorically. Not long after he sighed in mild frustration to control his emotion. "As usual, you fail to comprehend certain circumstances. I'm talking about your stay in that world! When Paradox informed me that he had sent you to that world, I was completely against it! You are not ready for the inhumane lifestyle, the political strife and unjustified psychology of such a world! Fortunately for you, like that time with the Incursean occupation of your home world, the Omnitrix sent a distress signal, which is why Eunice and I are here! Now I'll be taking you back to your world and leave the affairs of that world to its own eventual collapse!"
"You can't do that!" Ben yelled in protest. Azmuth may be the smartest person he knew, but the hero wasn't backing down. "Those people need me! I'm not going to turn my back on them just because of some rough edges!"
"Rough edges!?" Azmuth yelled back. The alien intellect was angry this time. Thus, with mild surprise from Eunice, he jumped on to the unconscious Budo and glared angrily at Ben. "You are a fool, Tennyson! There are worlds which must never come into contact with, especially ones that differ greatly between yours and mine! Your morals are admirable, but in a place where inhumanity is at a rise it would mean nothing!"
"And how would you know?!" Ben yelled back. He was now glaring back at Azmuth with a hateful glare as he continued. "Yes, I admit it! I fucked up big time! But guess what!? I do that a lot! Maybe in that world I can't fix them like I usually do, but at least I can make sure other lives can be changed!"
"So...you curse now?"
"What?"
Azmuth said nothing back, at least not immediately. The intellectual Galvan instead turned his back at Ben with his arms behind him back. "I see now that their world is affecting your way of thinking. Tell me, Ben, have you felt the tendency to kill?"
"Um…" Ben muttered. His anger ceased as he then felt hesitant to answer. However, that didn't stop him from stubbornly looking away. "So what if I have? I've felt it before in my world. There's no difference. I won't let that feeling over take –"
"Those times were different!" Azmuth yelled. His reaction then led him to turn back to Ben. "That is why you're a fool! The tendency to kill is a behavior to beings lower than a Galvan; however the circumstances surrounding that moment can differ! On earth, you were nurtured by your family because of the environment you were born in. But that is not the case of that world! You have seen it, Tennyson! People kill because of one psychotic reason to another! It's barbaric no matter how some of them might justify it! If you end up killing at least one person in that world, there might be grave consequences for crossing that line, not just with the Omnitrix but your mentality as a hero!"
"I won't be like them!" Ben said directly at Azmuth. From there, he turned to Eunice. "Tell him, Eunice. You know me."
Eunice frowned and held her hands together. In as much as she loved Ben, she didn't agree with him.
"I'm sorry, Ben." Eunice said with a soft voice. "Azmuth is right. That place…it's just not right for a person like you. So please…just go home. Those people don't deserve you."
Ben looked away from Eunice. A part of him was angry that Eunice was on Azmuth's side; however he knew somehow that it couldn't be helped. But still, none of that stopped his notion as he looked down at Azmuth.
"I'm not going anyway! I won't let you stop me!"
"Then I'll take the Omnitrix from you!" Azmuth stated angrily.
"Go ahead and try!" Ben replied back. "You can do it, right? But even if you can I'll find a way back! Their world has things called Teigu! I'll just take one of them and keep fighting! You wouldn't mind that, would you!?"
Azmuth growled with a low tone. Along with this, his fists were tightened as he glared at Ben. However, he didn't do anything violent like any small-minded person would've expected. As a result, he surprisingly calmed down a bit and walked over to the Omnitrix and press on the faceplate.
"Since you've decided to go on this foolish endeavor, I have no choice." Azmuth said. His statement was then followed with the Omnitrix faceplate lighting up again. Of course, this action surprised Ben but Azmuth continued anyway. "I've rerouted some of the Omnitrix's vast reserved power. You have fifteen minutes before it'll have to recharge again. I advise you use that wisely."
"Wow! Thanks!" Ben smiled chirpily. "So how about giving me Master Control?"
"Don't get ahead of yourself." Azmuth warned. He still had his hand on the device's faceplate, so soon after the familiar green hologram of the alien playlist appeared. "I will also give you a new alien. He should be useful. He belongs to the Lepidoterran species."
"Stinkfly? I already got him!" Ben stated in protest. "Come on! Just give me someone actually useful! I haven't used Stinkfly in a long time now!"
"Once again, you're so closed minded." Azmuth stated. "The Lepidotterran species are divided into two species. The first one is the one you acquired when you were ten years old. But now I'll add the second species, the superior type."
With that, Azmuth removed his hand and let the Omnitrix's faceplate to slide back. The alien had already been unlocked, so Azmuth wasted no time. He pressed his hand on the Omnitrix's core and let the blinding green light cover him and everyone else.
_(LINE BREAK)_
A few seconds had passed since Shura had done the unexpected. He had not only sent the empire's greatest nuisance away, but he had sent the grand general himself away as well. The latter didn't bother him though. Instead, he just laughed with his arms spread out as he enjoyed his moment of victory.
"Now do you understand, boy!?" He shouted out loud with pride. "Those who dare faces me only risk having their life cut short. Too bad the lightning geezer got caught in the crossfire! But then again he lost to a pathetic wimp like – huh?"
Shura was taken aback when a bright green light appeared in front of him. It also caused him to shield his face by his arms while wondering what was happening. Fortunately, it lasted for a few seconds before he put his arms down and became shocked at what he saw.
What stood before him were two beings. One of them was clearly a girl; however the one before her was something different. It was a creature, but not like any the young man had seen. For one, it had a humanoid body and stood about 7 feet tall while looking slightly muscular. It also had a blue V stripe on its forehead, with one coming from each eye, one on his nape and one on each finger, as well as three blue fingers on each of his hands and three-toed dark cyan feet which had the third toe at the back of his feet.
On other details, the creature also wore a strange suit. It was a jumpsuit unknown to the Prime Minister's son and it was a skintight one. The jumpsuit consisted of a black and green color skin. On the chest, there was a large black stripe in the middle while the green stripes at the sides went all the way down his suit's bottom's sides and to the end of his ankle. Along with that, the end of his suit's wrists was green and a green belt around his waist contained the Omnitrix symbol. He also wore a hazmat mask, a mechanical pack on his back and had two black antennae on his head.
"Stinkfly!" He cried out. His voice sounded deep but raspy when he spoke. But then upon speaking, the alien hero paused and looked at his new form. "Wow! This isn't the Stinkfly I know! Heck, is this even Stinkfly….. I'm gonna call you…..Stink Buzzer?!"
"Ben…?"
The now named Stink Buzzer turned to the source of the voice. He was instantly surprised.
"Eunice?" He questioned.
True to his eyes, the person behind him was Eunice. She was on the ground in a kneeling position at a still unconscious Budo's body. There was no trace of Azmuth though, but there was no time for that. Shura decided then to react by teleporting behind Eunice and wrapping his right arm around her neck, restraining her.
"Eunice!" Ben shouted his shock. The teen's reaction then changed to anger as he glared at Shura angrily. "Let her go!"
"And why should I?!" Shura yelled. His anger at the alien hero's presence was very clear as he glared back at the teen. From there, he tightened his grip around Eunice's neck to the point that it hurt her and continued. "How did you get out of the void!? You piece of shit think you can humiliate me!? I'll have you die in a moment's notice!"
Stink Buzzer snarled angrily, but did nothing. His reason for inaction was because of Shura's nature, which was clearly something not to be underestimated. It also didn't help that Eunice was in a bad positon as she held the young man's arm. But surprisingly she didn't seem scared.
"Ben…get him…on my que." Eunice managed to say.
"What are you talking about, bitch!?" Shura yelled in anger.
Not long after, the young man hit Eunice. He did this by punching her with his free arm, thus sending her to the ground. But then, before any of the guys could react, she swiftly grabbed on to one of Budo's Teigu gauntlets and let a flash of green light to shine from her hand. This then led to her sitting up and shooting a blast of lightning from her palm directly at Shura, sending him flying back and screaming.
"Now!" Eunice shouted.
"Right!" the large insectoid nodded.
With that, the alien hero went into action. He made a big jump for Shura, who had hit the ground by then. However, as he closed in on the young man, Shura teleported in a flash of purple light and Ben ended up hitting the ground instead.
"Did you really think that would work?" asked a certain voice.
Stink Buzzer stood up straight and turned to the source of the voice. It was Shura, unsurprisingly, and he was standing behind Ben, some feet away.
"You're one to talk." Stink Buzzer replied. "All you do is disappear and do sneak attacks. How about attacking me front and central, instead of being some big coward?"
Shura gritted his teeth in annoyance. Every moment, Ben had proven to be a great annoyance to the Prime Minister son. Thus, it came at that moment that Shura got into a fighting stance and motioned his hand for Ben to come for him.
"You're going to regret that, boy. I'll make sure of it." Shura said threateningly
In response, Stink Buzzer grinned and did what he could. He ran straight for Shura quickly and swung a punch to his face. However, to his surprise, the Prime Minister's son moved aside to dodge it and did it again when the teen hero swung another punch. So before Ben knew it, the young man punched him at the stomach with so much force that he was knocked off the ground.
Fortunately, this new version of Stinkfly was more reactive. He landed on the ground with his two feet and looked forward to face the Prime Minister's son again. Unfortunately, he failed to react. Shura came quicker than the average man and punched swung two punches at both sides of his face. Then, before Ben could react, he grabbed the alien hero by the shoulders and sent his knee directly into Stink Buzzers stomach with so much force that a small boom was heard.
Ben didn't have a chance to respond. He let out a grunt as green blood spat out of his mouth. But if that wasn't enough, Shura then lifted Stink Buzzer off the ground and threw him over to the ground. From there, he then marched onward strike his boot on Bens chest and looked at him with a menacing glare.
"You're all talk and no fight!" Shura stated. "I've fought some of the best the martial arts world had to offer! But what can you do?! You thought you could beat me! Big mistake, asshole! Now you're going to die here and you'll have no one to blame but yourself!"
Stink Buzzer chuckled. It was odd at the moment, considering his position. But of course this got Shura's attention and made him angry to the point that he pressed down on Stink Buzzer's chest.
"What's so funny!?" He yelled.
"Oh nothing." Stink Buzzer said, chuckling. "I just remembered this one episode of Sumo Slammers. I could tell you about it, but you'll be confused and more pissed off about it than you are now. You see, it has this one scene like this and -"
Shura growled in response. He had no idea of what Ben spoke of, but one thing was certain were the fact that he was going to kill him. Hence, he brought out a blade from his back and held it tightly to strike the alien hero. However, Stink Buzzer had one trick up his sleeve.
"Oh and another thing..." Stink Buzzer said. Then he smirked. "Guess who has too much tan and is about to get his butt whooped?"
Shura didn't answer. His main goal and attention was to kill Ben right then and there. As such, he brought his blade down on Stink Buzzer, who quickly reacted. He shot out green stink gases from two ducts on his shoulders that the Prime Minister's son ended up sniffing. As a result, the young man cried out in disgust and dropped his blade just to cover his nose.
Now Stink Buzzer had an opening. He quickly used his hands to jump back to his feet. From there, he swiftly turned to Shura and swung a kick so strong that it sent the young man flying a few feet away.
He didn't stop there though. Stink Buzzer was on the upper-hand from the looks of it. As such, he leapt up into the air with impressive speed and strength before coming down for Shura to stomp on. However, Shura saw him coming and quickly teleported out of the way. Hence, Stink Buzzer marched the ground, which caused a small shockwave to break the ground apart.
That didn't mean the fight was over though. In fact, Shura was back at Stink Buzzer by teleporting at the alien hero's side in mid-air with a kick. Unfortunately for him, his attack failed because Stink Buzzer caught his ankle in time before knocking him to the ground with great force that shattered the ground.
Stink Buzzer from then on did some damage. He was still holding on to Shura's ankle when he lifted the young man up. Thus, before the man could react, the alien hero threw him upward in the air, before then jumping straight for him and delivering a strong swing kick to the stomach that sent the Prime Minister's son crashing into a pile of wood.
Now at this point, there wasn't much one could expect. Stink Buzzer was back on the ground and walking towards the place Shura had been knocked into. So before anything could be said, the Prime Minister's son rose from the pile of wood with a loud cry and a killer psychotic look on his face as he turned to Stink Buzzer.
"So you're still conscious." Stink Buzzer said causally. The posture he possessed as he walked towards Shura was heroic was he continued. "You won't last long anyway. I've been in the Capital long enough to see the poor state of the people. I've even lost a few good people along the way because I was reckless. But not this time. I'm going to make it out of this fight and I will bring this empire down. You can be damn sure about it."
Shura was silent in response. The only thing he had towards Ben was malice and the feeling to kill. But then, the young man suddenly erupted into a fit of laughter before a smirk formed on his face.
"You really know how to talk shit huh?" Shura stated. "You?! Take down the empire?! Don't think sprouting nonsense will save you from me! Like you, I have some surprises! And now I think it's time I finish you off!"
And so he went into action. Shura clutched his Teigu with both hands and directed it at Stink Buzzer's way. So before the hero knew it, a smaller version of the ying-and-yang symbol appeared under his feet.
"Oh…shit. This again…" Stink Buzzer said.
It was now too late to escape. Stink Buzzer was instantly teleported away and to another location. Hence, the next scene Stink Buzzer saw was him falling from high attitude and Shura above him and then clutching his hand around his alien's neck.
"This is where it ends for you!" Shura yelled loudly. "With Shambahala I could send you into the depths of a volcano! I can have you taken to the bottom of the ocean! Heck, I can even send you to the belly of the worst Danger Beasts! But I won't do any of that! No, I'm going to make sure your body is impaled by the sharpest point of the Imperial Castle so all may see the fall of their beloved 'hero'! Haha…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Stink Buzzer was quiet. He should be afraid, but for some reason he wasn't. He instead chose that moment to look back at what Shura said which turned out to be almost true. There was a metal like a metal spear directly below him, but it wasn't like Stink Buzzer would let himself die that easily. As such, he turned back to Shura and held the young man's wrist with both hands.
"I got to say, you're crazy if you think I'll die like this!"
"Don't act so smug! You're going to die!"
"See! That's the crazy talking!" Stink Buzzer stated casually. "Maybe if you weren't crazy you would have realized one other thing about me!"
"And what's that?"
"These! There's a reason I call this guy Stink Buzzer!"
A pair of orange wings suddenly sprouted out of mechanical pack on Stink Buzzer's back. It surprised Shura, who could do nothing but stare in mild shock of it. But then Stink Buzzer went on the offense by shooting stink gases at Shura's face like before. As a result, the young man cried out in disgust as he covered his face again.
"AAAHHH! You bastard! It's in my eyes!" Shura cried out.
"Dude, that's not the only thing that's gonna be in your eyes!" Stink Buzzer stated jokingly. He then took Shambhala from Shura's hand swiftly. "Yoink! Now let's see how you do without your little toy"
"BASTARDDDDDD!" Shura cried out angrily.
Originally, Shura had been on a pursuit to kill Ben. However, with time, things had changed. He snapped his eyes open to reveal bloody red and leaking tears. Now there was no order senses to him other than the rage and urge to kill Ben. He even prepared to punch Stink Buzzer at the face.
"GIVE ME BACK SHAMBAHALA! I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU!" He cried out in rage.
"What you need is some anger management classes and quite possibly some lobotomy, considering you can't even see you've long since lost this fight to me."
Angered even more by the remarks the Prime Minister's son swung a punch. He wanted it to make contact with the alien's hero's face. However, he missed and cried out in frustration as Stink Buzzer flew passed him and maintained himself in the air.
Now it was just the Prime Minister's son and his impending doom that awaited him. The metal spear which he had intended for Stink Buzzer was now directly below him. In a way, it was scary because he was just a few seconds away from getting killed. But at the same time Shura couldn't care about his own life. His face still showed his burning anger for Ben even in the moment of danger.
Unfortunately, his death didn't come. Stink Buzzer rushed towards the Prime Minister's son and grabbed him by the back of his cloth. From there, he flew him out of the reach of the spike and just held him with one hand.
"Yeah…I'm probably going to regret saving your crazed butt." Stink Buzzer muttered with an irritated tone. "First it was Seryu and now it's another psychotic guy with a Teigu. Well…at least I took his Teigu. That has to be a good sign, right?"
"You!" Shura shouted. He turned back to face Stink Buzzer and strained his face with the deadliest and nastiest of anger and hatred. "Saving me will be your mistake! I swear I'll find you and anyone you care about and then I'll kill them right before your eyes!"
Stink Buzzer was silent to respond. The reason was obviously clear just from hearing Shura. As such, Stink Buzzer didn't react when his sharp fingertips began to tear from the Prime Minister's son's cloth. He didn't even react when his fingers finally tore through his cloth completely. Hence, the next thing that happened was Shura screaming as he was sent falling to the ground until he hit the ground.
"Oops…Looks like my fingers slipped." Stink Buzzer said with a plain tone. Of course, he was being sarcastic as he stayed in the air.
A few seconds later, the alien hero flew down to the ground. The reason for that was to examine Shura, who had painfully hit the ground. So in that moment, he bent down and touched the side of Shura's neck before standing up.
"Well…he's still alive, but unconscious. I don't know if I should be relieved or not." Stink Buzzer muttered to himself. From there his mind wondered off to the warning Azmuth had said, thus he raised his open hand to his face. 'Was that just me being me…or is this world really affecting me? To be honest, that scares me.'
Now at that moment, Ben wanted nothing more than to think over his action. However, his bug-like senses went off due to an incoming threat. Unfortunately, Stink Buzzer was unable to react, hence he got hit by a round object that exploded on impact and sent him flying some few feet away.
Stink Buzzer was fortunate to survive that. Unlike the other Stink Buzzer, his reflexes were far sharper. This was shown when the teen hero landed on his feet even though he skidded back just to stop. But the danger wasn't over, especially as his two antennae went off again to alert him of danger which came in the form of a great number of Imperial guards rushing at him.
"Eliminate the intruder! Do not let him draw anywhere close to the Imperial Castle!" ordered one individual soldier.
"Yes, sir!" responded a loud cry from every guard.
'The Imperial Castle?' Stink Buzzer questioned, confused.
For a moment, the alien hero had no idea of his location. His fight with Shura had been something he wanted to end, so he wasn't really aware of his location. But now that he thought it of it, Shura did mention killing him on top of the Imperial Castle.
'So I'm really there. Does that mean that…wait, that Teigu. Where is it?!' Stink Buzzer wondered. He knew it wasn't in his hand, likely because it flew out of his hand when he was hit.
Anyway, none of that mattered now. Stink Buzzer looked about until his bug-like eyes caught sight of two individuals are a huge balcony, looking down on him. One of them was fat and dressed in expensive clothing while having long white beard. As for the other person, it was a young boy who couldn't be older than twelve. However, the boy was dressed in richer clothes and wore a strange crown and holding some kind of staff in his hand.
Ben immediately figured out who the two of them are.
'No way…! Those two must be the Prime Minister and the Emperor! I'm actually just some feet away from them!"
Stink Buzzer was right. Though the distance was far in height, the emperor and the Prime Minister were watching the scene.
"What is that?!" The Emperor wondered. His eyes were fixed on Stink Buzzer, whom he could see was being surrounded by his Imperial guards. "This night has become quite odd and troubling! General Budo was said to engage the Teigu user in combat, but yet we haven't heard from him. And just recent, someone just crashed into my palace's ground."
"Your Highness." called out a soldier.
The Emperor turned to the voice in response. He saw that the one behind him was another guard of the Imperial Castle; however his armor was slightly upgraded than most of them as a clear show of his rank as he bowed on one knee to the emperor.
"Please, we must take you and the Prime Minister to safety." The ranked guard stated.
"Is that so?" asked the Prime Minister. Unlike the Emperor, he was looking down on the surrounded hero as he continued. "Commander, is the castle's security not firm? If it is not, then that would be troubling. Besides, it looks like whatever that Danger Beast is will pay dearly for invading the Imperial Castle."
"But Prime Minister…" The soldier said.
Just then, the Emperor spoke. His face was serious as he spread his arm aside. "Summon General Budo back to the Castle. His aid will be needed…"
"Ah…that is not possible." said the commander. His news, of course, earned shock from the emperor and the Prime Minister, the latter of whom turned back. Anyway, the commander continued. "As reported an hour ago, General Budo engaged in battle with the wanted Teigu user. Since then, we were ordered by him to clear the area of citizens so they won't be causalities. But…since then we haven't heard from him. Even the signs of a battle have ceased…We cannot pinpoint his exact location."
The Emperor became silent. His mind felt very troubled upon hearing the news. However, rather than say anything, he turned away from the soldier and turned back to Prime Minister and tightened his fist.
'No…I can't become show weakness in a time like this. I have to find a resolve. I'm sure that's what the Prime Minister would advise me to do.' He thought.
With that, the Emperor turned back to the soldier and spread his hand forward, holding his staff. "Go! Locate General Budo and report back on any findings! I expect good results!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" The man replied in obedience.
Back at the Prime Minister, he turned back to the scene. He had nothing to say considering General Budo, especially due to what was happening on the ground. Thus, the man brought out a small telescope from his coat and used it to get a better and closer look at Stink Buzzer, which immediately brought a reaction.
'It's…It's him!' Prime Minister thought angrily. His reaction then was followed by a flashback of the night he was captured in Alien X's barrier. As a result, the old man gritted his teeth as he glared at the figure. 'That symbol on his belt, there's no mistaking it!'
The Prime Minister finally took action. By that, he dropped his telescope and looked back at the Imperial guards.
"WHAT ARE YOU LOTS DOING DOWN THERE!? KILL HIM IMMEDIATELY AND BRING ME HIS HEEEAAAAADDDDD!"
The Emperor was surprised by the Prime Minister's tone. He had known the older man for a very long time, so seeing him this furious was unexpected. However, he said nothing of it as the soldiers immediately opened fire on Stink Buzzer.
"Oh shit!" Stink Buzzer shouted with widened eyes.
Though Stink Buzzer was fast, the time to react was very little for him. He could only stand there and see the bullets coming for him. But then, when he tried flying, he didn't leave the ground; instead his wings let out a loud screeching sonic wave that spread throughout the field.
So it happened right there that the guards were taken aback. The sonic waves from Stinfly's wings came with dangerous results. As such, each man cried out in loud pain as some either drop their weapons to clutch their ears or fall back to the ground unconscious. It was basically an unbearable experience, with some windows of the Imperial Castle shattering into pieces.
Meanwhile, Stink Buzzer was unfazed. The bullets that were heading for it shattered into black dust, so he just stood there in excitement.
"Wow! This is so cool!" Stink Buzzer exclaimed cheerful at discovering his new ability. "Go me! Go me! This Stink Buzzer rules!
With that, Stink Buzzer stopped his assault. He then took the moment to look around him to see the fate of the Imperial guards. Luckily, most of them were unconscious while the others were in pain as they lay on the ground. However, Stink Buzzer didn't have time to think on it. Three cannon balls were sent his way, which immediately made him to fly away before they hit.
Now in the air, Stink Buzzer witnessed what the balls did. He saw them exploded upon hitting the ground and getting some of the guards in its explosive paths. It made Stink Buzzer angry.
"Hey! Those are your guys over there!" Stink Buzzer yelled.
His words went unheard, unfortunately. Another cannon ball was sent his way, which he dodged. However, rather than trying reasoning with the shooters again, the alien hero took action from flying forward. The Imperial Castle was equipped with cannons from open walls and windows. In fact, if that wasn't enough, gunmen climbed to the top of the various roofs and began opening fire on Stink Buzzer.
Fortunately for the hero, his perception of his surroundings was sharper. He saw the bullets coming before remarkably maneuvering past them. Then, as he drew close to the guards, he shot stinger beams from the ducts on his shoulders and knocked out as many guards as he could.
Of course, it wasn't easy. Stink Buzzer had to be wary of cannon balls that were being shot his way, as well as the bullets. The guards were clearly determined to knock him down, so he didn't underestimate them. But it was fortunate that he had the speed and the enhanced reactive sense on his side. Thus, with each shot from his stinger beams, he knocked many of the soldiers, both the gunmen and the canon firing team.
However, the battle was far from over. Stink Buzzer had come to a stop but he could still see men on the ground rushing to his area. But if that wasn't enough, he saw a couple of guards escorting the emperor and the Prime Minister away, which angered.
'No! I can't let him get away! At least not when I'm so close!' Stink Buzzer thought determinedly. So with that, he flew to the balcony's way. Unfortunately, it wasn't easy because three guards showed up with rifle guns and began shooting at him.
'These guys sure are so annoying!' Stink Buzzer thought as he drew close. Like before, he maneuvered past the bullets as he flew. 'But I can't let the Prime Minister get away! This might be my only chance to set things right! Once I've done that…then all this madness, the killing, the corruption, everything will be over! I don't know how, but I get the feeling that once I lose this chance I won't get it again so easily! So for the sake of those who have died, I won't fail them!'
With that, pure determination flowed through Stink Buzzer's body and mind. It was exhilarating as it bumped his adrenaline to keep moving forward. As such, the moment he had thought the last word, he came to a stop and unleashed yet another screeching sound wave from his wings at the guards which immediately caused them to cry out in pain and drop their weapons to cover their ears.
Now it was Stink Buzzer's turn to attack. He stopped his sonic attack, but only to then fly directly at the man in the middle to deliver a front kick to the stomach. Of course, this attack was enough to knock the man away, as well as to get the other men attention. But there was nothing they could do. Stink Buzzer grabbed them by their necks with both hands and knocked their head with one another. Hence, they two hit the ground unconscious.
There was still much to be done. Stink Buzzer walked on the balcony and got into a hallway. There, he saw how expensive and beautiful looking it was until he saw a few guards escorting the emperor and the Prime Minister away at the other end.
'No! He's getting away!' Stink Buzzer thought.
Ben never expected the task to be easy. After all, not only has he fought three Teigu users that night but he had faced a lot of Imperial guards ever since getting to the Imperial castle. But of course none of that mattered because he knew reinforcement were on their way, with that then being obvious.
From two directions, Stink Buzzer witnessed about ten guards rushing. They were obvious coming for him, so he was their main target. However, Stink Buzzer was getting frustrated by the whole thing, and thus he used his wings to let out yet another screeching sonic wave.
So like before, all men cried out in pain. In fact, some of them were knocked out immediately while others fell to the ground in pain. As for the windows there, they shattered in a matter of seconds before Stink Buzzer stopped and flew the direction he had seen the Prime Minister and the emperor being taken to.
That didn't mean it was easy though. The Imperial Castle was heavily guarded both by men and traps it was infamously knocked for. Stink Buzzer even found this out when metal spikes from the walls revealed themselves and shot at his direction. Fortunately, Stink Buzzer reacted by coming to a stop and again unleashing his screeching sound wave with a loud cry. However, unlike before, this sonic wave was so powerful that it destroyed the spikes and caused a level of destruction in that section of the castle.
So by the time Stink Buzzer stopped, there was much devastation. Different hallways had long cracks around them with many of its expensive designs destroyed. At the same time, many guards littered the ground, including the ones escorting the Prime Minister and the Emperor. Unsurprisingly though, the two individuals were also on the ground but conscious as they could hear their guards weakly whining in pain.
"What…What was that…?" The Emperor muttered. He could feel his head having a mild headache that just wouldn't go away. But that didn't stop him from looking at the Prime Minister's way and seeing the man weakly on the ground.
'Even the Prime Minister is down.' The Emperor thought in mild shock. He could see that Honest was conscious, but not with the strength to stand up. As such he began to worry. 'No! It can't end like this! I have to…fight back! I have to –'
The Emperor was suddenly interrupted. It was by a strange ringing sound which came from behind him. Hence, when he turned, he saw a flash of light before an unfamiliar teenage boy caught his sight by standing there.
"Oh come on, Omnitrix! I was so close!" The teenage boy said. He was staring at a strange watch on his wrist which he was looking at.
All this confused the Emperor, however. He hadn't seen the teen before, but he could tell he was the cause of everything. As such he acted by struggling to his arms and knees, glaring at the teen.
"W-Who are you?! You're the cause of this! Answer me!" He shouted angrily.
"Huh?" The teen turned to the emperor. It seemed then at that moment that he noticed the boy's presence. But rather than being offensive towards him, he became concerned and ran towards. "Oh no! I'm so sorry, dude! I had no idea you would get hurt!"
The Emperor was surprised. For a second, he thought he may have been wrong about the teen being responsible. However, he spoke against him when Ben tried to touch him.
"Don't touch me!" He shouted.
Ben paused before taking his hand back. He knew who the boy was, but didn't seem to think on that. But then his head turned to Honest, whom immediately got his attention to the point that he stood up and walked towards him.
"Hey! Where are you going!?" The Emperor shouted. He was surprised by Ben's sudden change in mood, unaware of what the reason was. Anyway, none of that mattered to the teen hero as he kept heading to Honest with a serious look on his face.
"I'm going to end this tonight." Ben stated strongly.
At that moment, the only thing running on Ben's mind was exactly what he said. He didn't know how he would do it; he just knew that he should do something. As such, it was right there that he grabbed Honest's shoulder and pulled on him to lie on his back. Then, with a hateful face unlike any other, he looked all around Honest until he noticed a gun hidden by the man's coat and pulled it out, pointing the pistol at the old man's forehead.
The Emperor was in shock. His eyes were widened as he saw what Ben was about to do. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. His body still felt weak for him to do anything. But that didn't stop Ben. He just stared at the old man with hateful mind.
'What now?! What should I do?!' Ben thought. 'I have this gun in my hand! The least I can do is end his life right here and now! He's the real reason Sayo and the Ieyasu aren't here anymore! If he didn't exist Aria wouldn't be what she was, Sheele would be fine and having a normal life and Tatsumi still be with his friends and enjoying his life with the villagers! So I have to do it! I have to end this…one way or the other!'
'That is why you're a fool!'
'Azmuth?' Ben's eyes widened. He knew the voice in his head very well. It was the exact one he heard when he was stuck in that dimension by Shura. Thus, he had a flashback of that moment with Azmuth.
'The tendency to kill is a reckless behavior to beings lower than a Galvan; however the circumstances surrounding that moment can differ! On earth, you were nurtured by your family because of the environment you were born in. But that is not the case of that world! You have seen it, Tennyson! People kill because of one psychotic reason to another! It's barbaric no matter how some of them might justify it! If you end up killing at least one person in that world, there might be grave consequences for crossing that line, not just with the Omnitrix but your mentality as a hero!'
'That's right…This must be what Azmuth was referring to.' Ben thought. His mind surprisingly began to calm down as he continued. 'But still…I have to do it. This man will just keep going. I have to –'
"Let go of him!" The Emperor yelled. His tone was enough to snap Ben out of his thoughts and turn towards him. Hence, the boy was glaring at the teen hero. "I'm the Emperor! The weight of everyone in this empire falls on me! So if you must…SHOOT ME INSTEAD! I won't stay back and let you hurt my Prime Minister!"
Ben said nothing back. He was taken aback by the Emperor's strong words despite how futile it may seem. But then Ben turned back to Honest and concentrated on the man.
'His Prime Minister…? He really doesn't know the type of monster he really is.' He thought. 'But…as much as I hate to say it…that kid is doing what he believes is right. I can't cross the line of being a killer…at least not when I'm not ready. Besides, if I kill a guy right in front of child his age, I won't be any better than him or Night Raid.'
With that, Ben's mind softened. He became quiet in mind for a few seconds before throwing the gun away and grabbing Honest by his shirt. Now he was staring angrily at the weakened look of the Prime Minister.
"Hey! You're still conscious, right?!" He yelled. He could see from his position that Prime Minister was still conscious, so he continued. "I hate your ass so much! You've done so much wrong that it makes me sick! Heck, I should even make you feel every terrible thing you've done! But you know what?! I won't! I never want to cross the line like you have! People like you will never understand that with great power comes great responsibility! So for now just watch me, because I'm going to make sure everything is set right!"
With that, Ben was done. He let go of the half-conscious Prime Minister and headed to the Emperor, who responded by glaring at him. However, none of that that fazed Ben as he got on one knee and faced him with a soft look.
"Hey…I'm sorry for what I did to you. You probably still don't want me to touch you huh?" Ben said.
"Why…"
"Huh?" Ben was a bit confused.
"Why are you being so kind?!" The Emperor yelled angrily. His frustration of the situation finally overtook him. "Do you think acting so kind to me will save you?! I'll have you pay for this! Mark my words!"
"I see…" Ben muttered. From there he stood up and sighed and looked down at the boy. "Well…I can't blame you for hating me. I basically barged into your place and wrecked it. But believe me when I say this…I don't mean you any harm nor am I your enemy. I'm not saying it to save my skin. Trust me, I just went through a lot death defying moments, so whatever you got probably won't match it. I just beat a crazy Imperial guard and her Teigu and kicked both butts of General Budo and the Prime Minister's son."
"General Budo?" The Emperor was shocked. "Impossible! There's no way you could've beaten him!"
"Eh, believe what you want." Ben said with a shrug of shoulders. "But if you're open for actual advice, here's one. Get off that high horse of yours for once and take a look outside. Things are a lot worse than what you've been let on. Bye."
The Emperor was left speechless. Here was a single individual who had said things that sounded unbelievable. However, the more he remained quiet and watched Ben walk away, the more confused he felt.
Back at Ben, he had his own thoughts. 'Men…I could tell him everything that's wrong with the empire, especially about his Prime Minister. But knowing this kind of situation, he won't believe me. Besides, reinforcements will be here soon. I have to get out of here…What a bother.'
With that, there was nothing else to be said. Ben kept walking away while the emperor watched him. However, there was something that made him stop. It was the air, which surprisingly became misty cold in an unprecedented rate. But if that wasn't enough, Ben felt an ominous presence in front of him to the point that he became wary.
'What is this mist? There's no way this place would be so cold so fast.' Ben thought observantly.
Soon enough steps of high heels were heard. It echoed through the hall as each step the person responsible made came closer. It also didn't help that the mist hid the mysterious person. But it didn't matter soon. Ben's vision caught sight of a feminine figure with long hair as she came closer.
"I must say, you've caused quite the ruckus here." said the mystery person. It was a woman though, but the tone of her voice sounded menacing as she drew closer. "Tell me, can you still fight? I've fought a variety of enemies, some stronger than the others but in the end they've proven to be quite unworthy. But someone told me you're different. I see it now. The level of power you've shown just this night proves it, so now you've gotten my full attention."
"Who are you?" Ben questioned. He showed no fear, but a focused look on his face.
That didn't intimidate the mysterious woman though. She was clearly unfazed by it as she giggled in response. But it wasn't long after that she stepped forward, revealing her womanly figure just a few feet from Ben.
"I am General Esdeath. I believe you may have heard of me." The woman said with a smirk.
"No way…" Ben was surprised. He took a step back and reached his hand to the Omnitrix by his side. Unfortunately, there was no response from the alien device.
"That Teigu…" Esdeath said, intimidating. "That must be the Omnitrix, am I correct?"
Ben's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the woman. 'She knows about the Omnitrix? How?'
"Hmm, that look on your face means I'm right." Esdeath smiled slyly. She followed her statement by letting out a giggle and then raising her hand up to her chest level. "I have a proposition. Surrender right now and I promise you won't go unscathed. Of course…it's not like you have a choice."
Ben suddenly noticed something was off. The icy mist suddenly subsided, but not in the way he hoped. Instead they formed into big individual spikes in the air and pointing at Ben's direction. In other words, Ben was in a bad position.
"So…what do you say?" Esdeath asked.
Ben said nothing other than glare at the woman angrily. He hated to admit it, but he didn't have a chance to survive this without some sort of a miracle. Still, there was the option of surrendering but he wasn't one to do such a thing in most predicaments.
However, none of that would matter to the general. Esdeath was in a higher position to capture the teen hero. He had no way to escape without the Omnitrix powering up. But still, she could tell that the teen was reluctant to accept her condition even though she secretly didn't intend to kill him. She had her reasons.
Fortunately, a miracle did happen at that moment. It happened above the Imperial Castle as dark clouds began to form above it. Of course, this caught the attention of the Imperial guards outside and a certain cloaked figure that had accompanied Esdeath riding on top of a flying Danger Beast. But if that wasn't enough, charges of lightning raced through the dark clouds until a bolt of lightning shot right down and crashed through the castle.
Back with Esdeath and Ben, they were still at a standstill. Nothing was said between them except by the looks on their faces that seemed to send a mental message at one another. However, even before a word could actually happen, they individually felt something big was coming and reacted.
Both Ben and Esdeath jumped back. They did it just in time to avoid a lightning bolt that came crashing down. Of course, the collision to the ground caused a blast of wind to push away anyone in the area unable to hold their stand. Hence, Honest and the unconscious Imperial guards were sent flying. The same would've been for the emperor but he was caught by the wrist by Ben and pulled to the teen's chest.
'He's saving me?' He thought, surprised.
Back at the scene, there was much more. The hovering ice spikes Esdeath had created were blown away and shattered while the woman herself stood firm. Thus, when the wind ended, a dust cloud formed and subsided, revealing the one responsible for everything.
"Eunice?" Ben said.
The humanoid version of the Unitrix turned her head to Ben. She was the one responsible for what just happened in the castle, though how she did it wasn't clear. But then it didn't matter at the moment. The blonde girl turned her attention to Esdeath who was now staring at her.
"Stay back, Ben! I'm getting us both out of here!" Eunice stated.
Esdeath smiled slyly. She heard the blonde girl well, but thought of it as nonsense talk. So in that moment, she moved her hand forward at Eunice's way.
"I'm not letting any of you leave!" She shouted.
With that, a gush of ice headed for Eunice's way. There was little time to react, as even Ben could feel its overwhelming power. But then, to his surprise, Eunice stood quietly and summoned lightning charges all around without moving a bit. It even felt more intense, especially as her eyes charged the same lightning and widened, sending a huge blast of lightning against Esdeath's attack.
The damage that happened right there was unexpected. Both Esdeath and Eunice attacks had clashed but in a level that sent a shockwave between the two. Along with this, harsh wind were pushed against Ben and the Emperor, the former of whom held the emperor and fought against the force.
In the end Ben and the emperor survived, but astonished at the raw power. However, none of them could say anything as Eunice turned to Ben, still standing.
"Come on! We have to get out of here!" She shouted.
Ben nodded in response. He knew Eunice was right despite the level of power she displayed. So before getting up, he made sure to put the confused emperor on the ground. Then, without saying a word, he ran over to Eunice who in turn embraced him in a hug, surprising him.
"I'm so glad you're okay." She said softly. "Please hang on to me."
"Uh…sure." Ben replied, uncertain.
Eunice wasn't telling what she had in mind, but Ben complied. As a result, the girl suddenly shot a blast of lightning from her feet that sent both her and the hero flying through the hole she had made recently.
"They're getting away!" The Emperor shouted.
"Worry not, Your Highness. I have it covered."
Esdeath was revealed then to still be standing. To her, the attack just recent was nothing that she couldn't handle. Hence, her tone was calm and mischievous as she stared at the hole above them with a sly smirk.
"Now then…time to see what you're made up of, my new recruit." She said.
_(LINE BREAK)_
The moment seemed to be working in Ben and Eunice's favor. By now, they were above the castle as the both of them were getting higher and distancing themselves from the place. Of course, this surprised Ben when he looked down and then back at the blonde.
"You did it, Eunice! That was so awesome!" He exclaimed cheerfully.
"Thank you, Ben." Eunice said and blushed a bit. She didn't want to think of it, but Ben was holding on to her a bit too close. It also felt a bit embarrassing, but also nice at the same time.
Unfortunately, there was one thing they didn't know. For one, it was a flying Danger Beast heading their way from the distance. So before any of them could react, it was too late. The Danger Beast rammed its head right at them while the cloaked figure on top of its head watched as the both of them were sent crashing to the ground, screaming.
"Ben!" Eunice shouted.
From the looks of it, the both of them weren't going to survive. The strange Danger Beast from before had knocked them apart from each, but not far from one another. Thus, Eunice and Ben reached out their hand to grab one another despite the air pressure fighting back against them. As such, they succeeded before Eunice pulled Ben to her and wrapped her other arm around him. From them she shot lightening from her feet and other hand to reduce the speed of their fall until they landed on the ground on their feet safely.
"Hey, you okay?" Eunice asked. She followed this by letting go of Ben and taking a few steps back from him, slightly embarrassed.
Ben didn't notice her attitude though. A part of the reason was because he was oblivious as he smiled at her.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Good call, Eunice. You saved us just now." He said gladly.
In response, Eunice looked away with a slight blush on her cheeks. She didn't want to admit it but she was feeling strange around Ben. As such, she raised one of her fingers to her blonde hair and began twirling a few strands of it, looking away.
"Um…thank you. I really appreciate that." She said.
Ben was now confused. It may have been almost a year since he spoke with the girl, but he still knew something was off about her. However, before he could ask, a blast of wind hit them and caught their attention to look forward and up.
In that moment, both Ben and Eunice saw the Danger Beast from before. It didn't do anything except hovering them by flapping the wings on its back and looking down on them with its sharp teeth and red eyes. But then their attention was taken to its head when the cloaked figure from before revealed itself on top of the monster's head with its human hands on human hips.
"Well isn't this cute? It makes me want to puke." said the mysterious person with a female voice.
Ben recognized the voice immediately.
"That voice…I know it somewhere." He said.
"Hmph! Nice to see you still remember me." The mysterious girl said. She then jumped off the Danger Beast's head and landed on the ground. From there, she pulled the cloak back, revealing her face to Ben and Eunice. "It's been a while…cousin."
"Sunny!" Ben yelled.
Indeed, the one standing in front of them was Sunny. However, she didn't look the same way as she did from the time Ben had seen her. She now had long black hair tied into a ponytail, as well as a new set of clothes which consisted of a purple shirt underneath a black vest while wearing black pants and purple shoes. She still retained her purple glasses and purple hairclip though.
"Yup, that's me!" Sunny exclaimed happily. She then followed with a giggle and disposing of her cloak to the ground. "Now then…let's see what we got here. One Ben Tennyson with no power on his Omnitrix and a poor Gwendolyn knockoff right in front of me. This is going to be so easy I feel so excited just thinking about it."
"That's enough!" Ben shouted angrily. He didn't like the tone Sunny used regarding Eunice. It was offensive to him. "Eunice isn't a knockoff like you've played yourself to be by dressing like Gwen! I'm not going to let someone like you –"
"It's okay, Ben." Eunice interrupted Ben. She had a soft tone to her voice before placing her hand on his shoulder and getting his attention. But rather than seem offended, she just smiled at him. "You have no idea how nice it is to hear you defend me. But please…stay out of this. I can handle this myself."
"Eunice…" Ben muttered.
"Awww…So cute! Not!" Sunny exclaimed. Of course, she caught their attention before she light up her arms up with balls of mana energy. "Now then…is any of you going to step up? I've been itching for a fight for a long time now."
"I'll take you on." Eunice said. Her action surprised Ben, who was about to speak against it. However, the blonde turned her head to him and smiled. "Let me do this. I'll be fine." She said.
"Okay…I trust you." Ben replied. And then he smirked. "Kick her butt, okay? I'll be cheering you on."
Eunice nodded with a smile in response. She really appreciated it that Ben was supporting her. Now she felt no doubt about it, especially as she walked forward before standing still to face Sunny.
"So you're Sunny. I've heard about you a bit." Eunice said. Her focus also seemed to be entirely on the Anodite as she became determined. "It's true that my existence is thanks Gwendolyn, but you should keep this in mind. Just because you're related to them, it doesn't mean I'm going to hold back against you."
With that said, Eunice began to power up. The lightening charges Ben had witnessed inside the Imperial Castle began to happen again to Eunice, but with a greater amount. Her eyes, thus, began to also charge lightning, however none of that intimidated Sunny.
"Geez, you're one to talk." Sunny said with a smirk. "But I got to say, I've been looking forward to beating Gwen. But since she's not here, I guess her copy would do just nice for now, don't you think…? And by the way, I've gotten some pointers in martial arts and I'm dying to trying them out."
"Funny…I know some moves too." Eunice said sarcastically. Then she stated strongly. "I'm not going to let you hurt Ben."
"Hmph! Then you better beat me, if you can."
With that said, the Anodite powered up. Her power level began to rise as a pink aura formed all over her body. This also went for her eyes, which became entirely pink as her grin widened due to the excitement of a fight.
Now there was no stopping them. Both Eunice and Sunny were engaged in a standoff as they allowed their power levels to increase. Of course, this had a repercussion on their surroundings as their light grew and became almost blinding. In fact, even the ground underneath them began to tear apart just by their level of power. But none of that mattered to them. Their main focus was on one another, and sooner or later they would combat each other with a chance that only one of them would walk out of it alive.
_(CHAPTER END)_
That's where I'm going to end for now. Great chapter, right? If you agree then please let me know what you think of it in the reviews. Also be sure to follow and favorite this fanfiction if you haven't. More interesting stuffs are coming. Eunice will be very involved in this fanfiction.
If you don't remember who Eunice is, let me explain. She appeared in Ben10: Ultimate Alien from a crashed space ship. There, she quickly befriended Kevin, Gwen and Ben and was under the radar of a bounty hunter (don't remember his name). Later it was revealed that she was the earliest prototype to the Omnitrix called the Unitrix, but unlike the Omnitrix she doesn't transform although she can copy the power of any being creature she touches for her own advantage, though with a time limit. Anyway, she appeared again in Ultimate Alien and was involved with a DNAlien crisis on Spidermonkey's home planet. She was also revealed to be helping Azmuth with Primus (the original DNA storage of the original Omnitrix and the Ultimatrix). Her last appearance was in a cameo in Omniverse which involved a dumb intergalactic game and that sorry excuse of a romance between Kai and Ben.
Anyway, Eunice's current look is based on that Omniverse cameo of hers. I am thinking about changing it since it's clearly not for combat, but I could be wrong. As for Sunny, I've given her a look similar to Gwen in Ultimate Alien.
Now some of you may be wondering how Eunice can possess the power of a Teigu. Well that's because a Teigu is a weapon created from slayed Super S Class Danger Beasts. And considering they have been instances where a few have shown to be alive (such as the case of Incursio), it confirms that they still have DNA despite being weapons.
One more thing, to those who are curious, I want to make this clear. Yes, the Ultimatrix will be in this fanfiction. I stated this before in a chapter, but I guess not everyone read it. I don't blame you. My author notes are long. Anyway, expect to see it show up in a few chapters from now.
Thank you all for your supports. It has been wonderful hearing your thoughts. Please keep up the support.
