I just couldn't keep you in limbo anymore. I had to start this! Before that:
1) Sending shout-out message to Ah Punch: True, the manga could have been better, but it still made an interesting concept/story. It got really good when Alucard was introduced, too bad it ended around the same time though. :(
2) Sending shout-out message to InvisibleMan: I have a few ideas for Ultimate Alien, that's only if I write a third part to this story. That's also an interesting name you came up with.
3A) Sending shout-out message to The Brod Road: I'll consider it, but I'll wait until I get more votes in the poll before I make any final decisions. Thank you for that suggestion. :)
3B) Sending shout-out message to The Brod Road: Part of me knew you'd pick lemons, guess we both have dirty minds. XD
Now, let us begin!
Chapter 6: War for all Worlds + Vampire, Part 4
Brainstorm: No. I'm not implying that I'm smarter because my head is bigger.
Azmuth: Good.
Brainstorm: ... I'm merely stating the simple fact; my BRAIN is bigger!
Azmuth: Really? And how many Omnitrixs' have you made in your lifetime?
Reinrassic (Reiny): One more word out of you two cretins, I turn the ship around.
Brainstorm: (is silent for 3 seconds before pointing a claw at Azmuth) He started it.
The above classic comedic moment was brought to you by Ben (who changed into Brainstorm off-screen), Azmuth and Reinrassic. Back on earth in the Highbreed base, Ben suggested the Hyperspace Gate was both a way out... and a way in. Reinrassic confirmed this and offered to provide transport in his 'small cruiser'. It was about half the size of the warships, but at least they'd be able to go in undetected. As you can imagine, those who were not familiar with Reiny immediately tried to attack him; but Ben, Kurumu and Inner Moka managed to convince the others he was not a threat.
Gwen and Kevin were NOT thrilled to hear it was the same Highbreed that they tried to corner in that warehouse, but they trusted Ben. If both he and this Highbreed worked together to survive where they ended up, he was worth the benefit of the doubt. That didn't mean they let they're guards down, there was still some reasonable question to where his loyalty laid. As to why Ben changed, he wanted to drive. Reinrassic said no, he was VERY protective of his ship, which reminded the group of a certain someone on their team.
Only Ben, his harem, Azmuth, Kevin and Gwen went with Reinrassic; the others stayed behind to hold off the invasion as long as possible. Julie, who was riding on top of Ship in his battleship form, saw them fly off. Ben sent her a text before they left. "Be careful, Ben" she said to no one in particular.
"So, why is bug-eyes still with us?" Asked Kevin. "If your referring to me, I can't leave the Omnitrix unattended. Ben might go off on his own again and do something foolish" said Azmuth. "He worries about you too, grandpa Frogger" said Inner Moka, making 'bug-eyes' go buggy-eyed for a split second. "Ridiculous, I'm only concerned about the Omnitrix, NOT Ben" Azmuth assured. "Of course you are" said Gwen, sarcastically agreeing with him. "And you call me dishonest" Inner Moka said, having fun pushing Azmuth's buttons. He got a few cheap shots at her before, but now... oh, how the tables have turned! "We are approaching the Jump Gate, you may want to grab onto something" Reiny said.
Everyone grabbed (or sat) in a chair or gripped onto a bar/pole, like a normal person. However one...
SMOOSH!
Kurumu... well, yeah.
"If I may inquire? What exactly your doing?" Asked Brainstorm, although he knew the answer already. Since his chest was smaller, the succubus used the next best thing... his big head. Didn't mean it wasn't embarrassing, if not more. "What's it look like, I'm holding onto something" she purred. Then a cool girl and an underage one joined her. Kevin glared, but stopped when he sensed someone glaring at him, giving that person a nervous smile. "One question, Moka Akashiya" said Reinrassic. "Spill" she answered. "Do all monster mating seasons involve the female smothering the male with their additional features?" Asked the Highbreed. "Only the A-Class idiots."
-TIME BREAK-
Going through the Jump Gate was fun, for some more than others:
1) Reinrassic: Having done this many times before, disregarded the effects.
2) Inner Moka and Mizore: Were as stoic as ever, just sat calmly with her arms crossed (Inner Moka only).
3) Kevin and Azmuth: No so thrilled by the experience, they were just happy it was over.
4) Gwen and Yukari: Thought it was cool. They moved their fingers and wand respectively back and forth, making a 3D-like effect.
5) Kurumu: Thought it was cool... at first. Was made fun of by Yukari because her "watermelons" moved like Gwen and Yukari's fingers, giving her a second "set."
6) Ben/Brainstorm: ... puked, enough said.
Reinrassic landed near the council building. "We have arrived... the rest is up to you" he said. "Wait, your not coming?" Asked Ben. "I told you before, Ben-Ben Tennyson, I am unclean. I do not wish infect my kind anymore than you will, I brought you here because you saved me. Now... we are even. Go" said Reinrassic. Azmuth then got annoyed for some reason. "Oh please, enough of this purity nonsense. The only reason you Highbreed started this war is because your race is dying out. You've inbred, became sterile and your immune systems have paid the price" said Azmuth.
There were mixed reactions at this, Gwen and Kevin were silent but they grimaced. "So Highbreed's are impotent because of...?" Asked Kurumu, with a grossed-out face. "And they had babies with their...?" Asked Mizore, with a less-than-stoic grossed-out face. "That's so gross" whined Yukari, shivering with the most grossed-out face here... inner Ben couldn't help but comment on of all the kinky stuff Yukari longed for, THIS was considered gross to her? While Inner Moka was disgusted at this, she knew royal families used to do this in ancient times, so she wasn't as surprised as the others. Ben stepped up to his Highbreed ally and asked pointblank: "Reiny... is this true?"
Reinrassic's expression darkened...
"What lies are these? How dare you accuse me of dishonesty?!" He growled, the royal Highbreed now royally pissed off. "Lies? You mean to tell me that you didn't know your race is on the verge of extinction?" Asked Azmuth. "Extinction? There is nothing wrong with us!" Reiny snapped. "So then you have done inbreeding?" Asked Ben. He learned the effects during sexual education back in middle school; close genetic make-ups may lead to disease, disorders... or even death. "What of it? There's no difference! All species, even us superior Highbreed, are bound by the circle of life. We are born, we live, then die" Reinrassic said. It was now pretty obvious that Reiny (and perhaps all the Highbreed in general) have no idea of the dangers of inbreeding. But why would this set off a switch to start a universal war, that didn't make a lick of sense! "So that's why your superiors started all this, so you all wouldn't die alone" said Azmuth.
That did it...
"Get out..." the Highbreed said as lowly, and as calmly, as he could. "Reiny wait, I..." Ben tried to say. "I told you, my is REINRASSIC! Now all of you fifthly creatures, GET OUT OF MY SHIP! NOW!" Reiny... ahem, excuse me, Reinrassic roared. Not waiting to anger the alien any further, they exited the ship as quickly as possible. "Ben-Ben Tennyson, whether you succeed or perish... is not my concern. I merely owed you a favor for saving my life... nothing more. I want no part of your crusade!" Reinrassic continued and with that, he slammed the door of his cruiser shut. Ben looked at his friends, and noticed... "Hey, where's Moka?"
-TIME BREAK-
"Grrrr... to think I was actually considering joining their reindeer games. And they wonder WHY their kind disgusts us!" Reinrassic said to himself out loud. So what if his race practiced inbreeding, that's no excuse to throw a wild accusation that his people are dying! Then again, how long has it been since other Highbreed were conceived? Months? Years? 'No, it's all lies! The Highbreed Supreme would never keep the truth from us!' Reinrassic kept telling himself, but he couldn't shake this feeling in the back of his head...
He headed for the cockpit to get as far away from here as possible, but a certain female stood in his way with her arms crossed. She didn't look too happy... then again, did she ever? Except for when she was around Ben-Ben Tennyson, but Reinrassic didn't say anything about that mainly cause he didn't want to feel the bone-cracking pain that Dravek felt (he doesn't fear her, but thinks twice about what he says because of her level of power). "Moka Akashiya? If your here to argue on Ben-Ben Tennyson's behalf, I'm in no mood" said Reinrassic, walking past the vampire and was about to start the ship... "What you said would've made her cry if she was out" said Inner Moka. "Excuse me?" Asked Reiny. "The other Moka I mean, don't tell me you haven't noticed our differences?" The vampire responded.
It's not that he was looking or anything, but yes he has noticed. The change in demeanor and personality, the hair, the eyes... and both her front and back. Based on his limited human/monster interactions, he gathered for some reason those... attributes... were considered 'attractive' in lesser beings cultures. Why? He had no idea, nor did he intend to find out. How 2 blowup bags and a shaped rear end would capture male attention was beyond him. (AN: To any girls that are reading this, if any, don't take this the wrong way. Size doesn't matter, your the way God made you for a reason, there's no such thing as too big or too small. I thought I'd just poke some fun at human anatomy.)
"Oh, of course. Your human form. With all due respect Moka Akashiya, you ARE the same, aren't you?" He asked, turning around in his seat to face her. "It's... complicated. Back to the matter at hand, I get why your people keep your blood pure, kings and queens in our world used to do it" said Inner Moka. Reinrassic looked at her in surprise, he had no idea other races purebred, even 'genetically inferior' ones! "Used too? Then why did you stop?" Asked Reiny, his interest peeked. "We discovered what it was doing to us as living things... we were killing ourselves. True it was considered a high status, but at what cost? There's a reason why everyone and everything is different... for the balance of nature. If everything was the same, the circle of life would fall apart... and its now happening to your people as well" Inner Moka explained. (AN: Sorry if she's a little out-of-character, but this was the only way I could think of the explain things to Reinrassic.)
Reiny's expression was unreadable, even to Inner Moka. This was allot to take in for him it seemed. "I will agree with you though, Azmuth has a way with words. But I've taken his advice, and I think its made me a better person" Inner Moka admitted, she just hoped Reiny would NOT repeat that to the others. And if inner Ben found out... oh, don't even get her started! "Which was?" Asked the green-armed Highbreed. Inner Moka began to leave, but responded to his question before she walked out: "Just do the right thing."
-TIME BREAK-
2 Highbreeds were strolling down the hall...
BANG!
Their day was ruined by a door opening and slamming ONTO them. One of these poor aliens managed to stay conscious to push it off... and met the face of a human female that set off warning bells in its head. She also radiated... something, but this Highbreed was only trained as a council guard and as a result, never left the home world. "Take us to your leader" she ordered in a flat tone. "Man, I wanted to say that" said a second female, with glowing hands that turned off as she lowered them. "You said: Ben, break down the door" said a dinosaur-like creature. "You took too long, maybe you should stop yelling your name as you transform" said the energy-radiating female.
Making use of his transformation now, Ben (now Humungousaur, of course) helped the Highbreed up and pushed him forward, silently ordering it to move along. None of the group sensed that the other Highbreed got up and was about to strike them with rapid-fire fingers, but he was knocked down yet again by...
-TIME BREAK-
BANG!
"ARGH!"
The twice-pushed Highbreed fell before its superiors... all 5 of them.
These 5 Highbreed were much different, and much older, than the others Ben and this team had seen. For one thing, they were bigger and rounder; and their skin was a darker color of white. The one at the end of the room was most likely the true leader, having an orange crown-like cowl on his head that was attached to his body; his wings also folded down like a cape and he had 6 eyes unlike the 4 or 3 the other Highbreed usually had. The real distinguishing feature was he had a hole in his belly... er, maybe he just gave birth? That, or it was never sewn shut.
The Highbreed tried to apologize, but the Highbreed King just held a hand up to silence him. The former just left without another word, shutting the door behind him. The King took a good look at those who dared invade his throne room. From reports; he recognized Ben, Gwen, Kevin, Azmuth, Kurumu and Moka/Inner Moka immediately. The other 2 were a mystery to him, but due to the energy he felt coming from them, he gathered they were monsters' like Kurumu and Moka/Inner Moka. Guess those that were relived of duty were being truthful after all.
"Ben 10, the earth vermin who can transform into other vermin, and his band of dung" said the Highbreed King. "Yeah, and your the top banana, right?" Humungousaur 'asked'. "I have read all accounts of your tenacity and courage, but... your gall truthfully exceeds all description" said the King. Humungousaur was going to answer back, but Inner Moka beat him to it. "He appreciates the compliment, can we cut to the chase?" She said. "Ah... and you must Moka Akashiya, the S-Class chutzpah vampire" the Top Banana said. "And?" Inner Moka 'asked'. "Oh, no reason. It's just been a long time since I've seen a monster... after the Great Migration, that is" said the Highbreed King. "The Great..." went Mizore. "Migration?" Finished Yukari. "The hell's that?" Asked Kurumu.
"Look, as interesting as that is, I'd like you to call off the attack on earth. If that's not TOO much trouble" said Humungousaur, to the Highbreed King. "You barge into our home, just to ask that?" 'Asked' the King. "Pretty much. What do you get to gain from destroying us anyway, what did we ever do to piss you off?" Asked Humungousaur. "You should already know the answer, pawn scum. You are inferior life forms, your very existence is an affront to our..." stated the Banana King (AN: Can you tell I'm having fun with this? :P). "Time out, your highness. We already know your going extinct" said Kevin. "Your ridiculous belief in racial purity lead to your loss of resistance to disease and shorter lifespan. Healthy Highbreeds' can life for thousands of years... and its been reduced to a mere 20. This IS the final generation of Highbreeds', is it not?" Azmuth stated.
"You are correct, mongrel. The day of the Highbreed is drawing to a close... but we will not perish alone" said the King. He then pointed upward to a pod that held monitors in it. Images of all kinds of planets, people, wildlife were projected on it. "In just a few short hours, my fleet will destroy not only earth... but EVERY known form of life in this galaxy. Including..." he continued, then the screen made a giant picture of...
...
...
...
"YOKAI ACADEMY!" Humungousaur said, shocked beyond reason, with was shared with the rest of his team. "Correct. And to think monsters' used to be just as superior as us. The destruction of Galvan Prime, was only a signal to begin. Enjoy the view, for you will be the only ones to witness the end of all life... in the universe" said the Highbreed King. Ben, his friends and his monster harem just looked up at the images... there was nothing else they could do...
No one noticed the small movement of the door...
Being the asshole I am, I'm leaving it here. :P
The next one will be the final chapter of summer, and the beginning of school... if Mister Banana-Head doesn't blow it up first.
