NO! The story has not been abandoned, and it won't be until I finish it! On a more positive note, I placed 2 Easter eggs in here, you should be able to find them. I squeezed as many Omnitrix aliens as I could into the battle scene without making things too crazy, which is why this took much longer than it should have... I even put in plenty of humorous quips/gags I think you'll enjoy. Shout-outs to:
1) Guest: You mean the POV's I did a while back? I'll consider it.
2) Treyalexander63917: Moka's father won't be involved earlier. I have an awesome scene planned for him though, but its further down the road. It will be worth the wait though! Flying, speeding, punching, a few collisions... it will be better than Tsukune's "showdown" with him.
3A) Mitchell (from the first fic): I have a possible chapter to introduce Feedback, but lets see where the wind takes this story.
3B) Mitchell: Rath, there's no "W" in his name. As for him appearing... well, you'll have to wait and see.
4) All my fans/followers: Please leave a comment on the battle scene and the chapter in general. I think its the best one I written since the werewolf brawl and Kuyo's round of sudden death, but I need your opinions to improve and find out what you want to see and what you don't. And I won't post the next chapter until at least 5 of my followers review, cause I'm an ass :P
Since I have more than 50 followers for this story alone, I think 5 is a reasonable number (10 was my first choice, but lets be real here. I doubt even 7 of you will leave one). Besides, it only takes 2-3 minutes of your time. Thanks in advance! Oh yeah, the poll results are in and it has been closed, but please read this chapter first before viewing it. The wining selection with be written on the bottom of this page.
On with the Rosario!
Chapter 10: Vengeance + Vampire, Part 2
1 minute... not even 1 measly minute passed and this giant alien was wiping the floor with the monster girls (they're assuming he's an alien, due to his nature and attitude). Mizore tried to freeze him solid, but he broke out seconds later and backhanded her into a tree. Ruby and Yukari tried using the Dark Ring of Containment, but it had absolutely no effect whatsoever. At least Kuyo was restricted for a few seconds, this alien broke out AND just sliced the giant crow in 2 with his sword. One of his gauntlets fired a red beam, but the witches put up a magic ward to shield themselves... it wasn't enough (don't worry, they're still alive, just weakened). Gin even showed up (to show his "new story") and tried his luck, but even his S-Class strength couldn't help. He even tried confusing the alien with his werewolf speed, but lasers shot out of the aliens eyes and homed in on Gin like heat-seeking missiles, roasting him upon contact.
Gin: Original recipe... or extra crispy? (coughs up black smoke and turns into an ash pile with eyeballs on it)
The only ones left were Kurumu and Inner Moka, they worked surprising well together and put up a hell of a fight. Kurumu used her illusions to bring trees to life and try to overwhelm the alien, sadly the aliens sword burst into flames and made that trick useless. Also everytime Inner Moka would try to strike him, some kind of yellow dome protected him from every kick she swung, in which the alien smirked at her with each failed attack. Kurumu then tried air support, but was "blown away into a gravestone" for a lack of better words by this aliens big mouth... and don't even get her started on the smell! She'd rather bathe in Stinkfly gel or shampoo with Goop's slime! Inner Moka still tried kicking him, yet his shield kept protecting him. Using the last of her monster energy, Kurumu managed to cast an illusion on Inner Moka... and multiply her by 4! The alien, not knowing with one was real, used a ray gun he pulled out of a holster to shoot each one until all 4 of them vanished.
Wait, wasn't there...?
POW!
Right in the back of the head, the alien was kicked. He reached behind him and almost caught Inner Moka, she was getting extremely tired since she still hasn't fully recovered from this morning... that, and she hasn't taken her nap yet. The alien turned to face his current opponent, but didn't try to attack. "Who are you? What are you? Your not human, nor alien. Your actually making me break a sweat" said the alien, then he noticed Inner Moka's breathing pattern. "Your also losing energy, why not tell me where Ben Tennyson is, and I'll let you live" he continued. He was right, Inner Moka was losing strength, and fast. She couldn't keep this up much longer, but losing wasn't an option for her.
She rushed at him again.
-TIME BREAK-
Ben was running in the direction of the sound, since his watch still needed to recharge. Beeping noises came from his Omnitrix, the same ones from when Ship was trying to get help. "Ben? Ben! Are you there, Ben?!" It responded to him. "Grandpa Max? What's up, now's not a good time" said Ben. "The girls aren't chasing you again, are they?" Asked the elder man, somehow Ben knew his granddad was smirking on the other end. "NO! ... not now anyway" said Ben. "Jokes aside Ben, he's back" said the Plumber. "Who?" Asked Ben. "Vilgax, you dork" said Gwen. "He threw us around like rag dolls" said Kevin. "He even took down an entire squad alone and has challenged you under the Galactic Code of Conduct. Legally, we can't do anything since your across the map and if Vilgax beats you..." said Grandpa, his voice starting to go static. "Grandpa? GRANDPA!" Yelled Ben.
"It's this world, it's interfering with the Omnitrix. And with all the monster energy flying around, I'm surprised you haven't mis-transformed yet" said Vampire Ben. "Oh, is that why your such an asshole?" Ben asked his other self. "Excuse me?" Asked the voice of Max, thinking he must have heard Ben wrong. "Uh, I mean: what's he up to... yo" said Ben, covering up the comment that was intended for his vampiric transformation, the form in question just snickered in Ben's head. "He's using the legal system against us. An invader can conquer a world peacefully using this legal right" said Max. "Quick question, what idiots came up with the stupid idea to let criminals try and overrun?" Asked Ben.
Then an alien popped up on the Omnitrix.
"Those idiots... would be the Galvan, to avoid massive catastrophe across the galaxy. It's more civilized this way" said Azmuth, before disappearing. "Wow, stupid really is as stupid does" said Vampire Ben, off topic. "And that blue jay and brown raccoon had a point" said Ben, off topic as well. "Be careful fighting Vilgax, Ben. He's allot stronger than before" warned Grandpa Max. "He claims to have conquered 10 world heroes, including Ultimos' team!" Said Gwen. "And his tech's pretty sweet too... OW!" Said Kevin, a slap was heard in the background.
-TIME BREAK-
SLAM!
Inner Moka, despite her struggling, was smashed and pinned into a gravestone by the alien. And she thought the Highbreeds' were strong, this level of strength was incredible! Any harder and her rib cage might puncture one of her lungs! "Perhaps you didn't hear me when I asked you nicely... where is Tennyson?" Asked the alien, his grip tightening little-by-little as a tactic to get some answers. Inner Moka didn't answer him for a number of reasons:
1) Her pride (obviously).
2) The aliens grip... to an extent.
3) Her lo... er, care. For Ben's well-being... and his nutritional value, as she would have denied the former under normal circumstances.
4) And of course, because she really didn't know herself.
This was also a new experience for her, being restrained by a strong adversary, not counting Ruby or the Highbreed Commander. Normally it was one of the other girls that would be subdued, including the other half of her, and Ben would pull it off and release her so she could fight for herself. But he wasn't here... he wasn't here to help... she was on her own... helpless before this... monstrous thing. She wished she could take it back, take back all the mean things she said back in the gym, all the insults when they first met... hell, she'll even try acting defenseless like Kurumu did sometimes, just to keep him by her side.
She needed him.
"Your silence speaks for you. Since you don't know..." said the alien, reaching behind him and grabbing the hilt of his sword. "Your of no use to me..." his weapon blocked out the sunlight...
...
...
...
...
...
PEW!
The blade of death was knocked out of the aliens hand by a green beam, then more green beams barraged at the alien while he backed off. A red Manta ray landed in front of Inner Moka and the rest of the monsters', pinching the crest between his eyes in annoyance. "This... is getting ridiculous. I can't leave you guys alone for a quarter of the day, without you pissing someone off!" Said the manta, flashing green. "And of ALL people, you pick him" said a human, pointing to the alien he shot away with his thumb. The alien in question recovered, and his smirk of arrogance turned into a cold-hearted stare of hatred.
"Tennyson..."
"Vilgax..."
Hearing Ben reveal the attackers name made all monsters' flinch... twice! They thought Ben's inexperience at age 10 was the reason of his close calls with this alien. But to face him for themselves, coupled with the fact they were stronger than humans... there's no word strong enough to express what they felt. Kuyo and the Highbreed invasion were walks in the parks compared to this guy! And Ben's tone of voice was darker, not as dark as his vampiric self, but it was unlike him all the same. Standing up, the alien now known as Vilgax threw some kind of orb into the air. Seconds later, a clear barrier surrounded the immediate area. "Ben 10, I've..." Vilgax began, but Ben cut in off. "Yeah, yeah, yeah; I know. Can we skip the speech and get to the fun part?" He 'asked'. "Oh, forgive me... is now a bad time?" Vilgax 'asked'.
Ben answered his nemesis while holding up a finger for each reason. "Well now that you mention it; I'm still in school for another 2 hours, I need to pick up my homework from the classes I skipped, AND! My mom got FedEx to ship in my DVR... it's Sumo Slammers night." (AN: I had to put this, its a classic!)
BLAM!
A ray gun blast to the human was his answer. Ruby gasped, Gin was still an ash pile, and the other 4 threw a fit on the barrier. The kicking/slicing/crystallizing/spelling frenzy wasn't working, so Ruby joined them after restoring Gin to normal. Still nothing. Vilgax was about to gloat in victory...
...
...
...
then a form floated from underground. "Nice to know your, COOL about these things" said a familiar-looking Necrofriggian, flying toward Vilgax. The warlord attempted to punch his opponent, but he phased and froze the warlord by his... "Something wrong? Do you have cold feet?" Big Chill joked, still in phase-mode. He had more to say, but Mizore called out to him. "BEN, that won't..." she started, now it was Ben's turn. "Guys, a hero has to finish his quips while he's defeating the bad guy... it's sort of a ru-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Big Chill was grabbed by Vilgax by using one of his gauntlets, somehow it negated the mothmans intangibility and shocked him... literally.
As Vilgax dropped him, the monster girls started bashing the barrier again. "My, my Tennyson... you've really grown up" he mocked. "Ow... what's that supposed to mean?" Ben asked, back in human mode. "So, which one is your girlfriend? Wile E. Coyote, perhaps the bat girl with bounce houses, maybe the witches of the north and south, Tinkerbelle's friend Periwinkle... or better yet, the hag passing off as a 16-year-old?" Vilgax quipped. "What don't you pick on someone your own size... oh right, you can!" Ben smirked, engaging another transformation. A giant hand grabbed Vilgax and he was face-to-face with, "WAY BIG!"
Seeing this, the monsters' calmed down a bit. According to himself, Ben easily beat Vilgax as soon as Way Big was unlocked. "Grrr... you think I'll fall for this again?!" Said Vilgax, who manged to get a hand free and the gauntlet of said hand fired that red beam again at the fin on Way Big's head. Pain shot through Way Big's body like a bullet train, causing him to drop his adversary and grab his head in agony. "Even your most powerful alien is no match for the Ruby Ray of Ulo!" Vilgax continued... wait, since when can he fly?!
He touched (well, pushed very hard) the Omnitrix symbol and Ben changed back, why was Vilgax the only one smart enough to do this to him? "This must be embarrassing, to loose both the battle and your life... in front of your significant others" Vilgax mocked. "Do me a favor, stick to trying to kill me and leave the teasing to everyone else" said Ben, back in human form again. "Finally... something we both agree on" said Vilgax.
SLAM!
The warlocks glowing fist barely missed Ben, who rolled away and transformed again. "BRAINSTORM! Vilgax, my most reoccurring antagonist, if I can't outfight you... I'll out-BRAIN you!" Said Brainstorm, opening his head and releasing lightning. Sadly, Vilgax just nullified it with what he called 'Shield of Ziegel' and rammed into the Cerebrocrustacean, knocking him away. While airborne, Brainstorm managed to change into: "STINKFLY! I can definitely out-fly you any day of the week" said Stinkfly, buzzing around Vilgax while Vilgax tried to slice the insect in two. "Keep joking, child! It'll make my victory all the more sweeter" said Vilgax, grabbing the stinkbugs tail and throwing him on the ground. He raised his sword... and hit the dirt with it, where did Tennyson go? "Enough hocus pocus, where are you, human?!" Said Vilgax, getting irradiated by Ben's fooling around. He heard a tiny buzzing sound behind him. "Phew, that was a close one" said a glowing bug-like alien, an inch tall in size.
Kou: Nanomech here is the only alien in the watch the also human...
Nanomech: Kou, now's not a good time!
Kou: Hey, you get paid for kicking ass... I get paid for unless commentary. I mean, come on, it's not like Vilgax has a flyswatter or anyth...
SWAT!
Vilgax: A bat? That's your transformation? (lifts the flyswatter up, releasing a paper flat Kou)
Kou: No mommy, I don't wanna pet the bunny... weeeeeeeeeeee...
"CANNONBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!" A shadow appeared over Vilgax, but he caught what was about to make him roadkill, and kicked it. Cannonbolt, the cannonball from seconds ago, laid against a tree upside down. From his position, he saw Vilgax charge at him again with his sword ready. "Really, what is it with you and that thing? Personally, it needs a..." said Cannonbolt, changing into: "UPGRADE!" The Mechamorph sunk itself just before Vilgax sliced him... though that tree had seen better days. Upgrade fused with the sword and made it move on its own, just like the Black Knight Ghost from Scooby-Doo. Vilgax blocked each attack with his energy shields, but Upgrade did land a few scratches. "Heheh, look... no hands!" Joked Upgrade, stopping for a sec and continue his assault. Vilgax was getting REALLY annoyed, Ben hasn't changed much in the last 6 years, still cracking jokes while fighting. Having enough, he once again used the yellow gauntlet to zap the Upgrade-saber when he got his hands on the hilt. Although Upgrade has been shocked by worse and did resist for a minute, he ultimately lost control and released the sword, going Ben once again.
For the 9th time, Ben transformed again into an alien with a floating metal head (which was stereotypically the most alien-looking face you'll ever see) in an arch between his shoulders. He had the colors of yellow and black in some spots on his body, had the emblem on his chest, along with feet and hands that looked like pincers. "LODESTAR!" Said the newest form, sounding a bit robotic. After standing in silence for a few seconds... "Wait, shouldn't Kou do the... oh, right" the metal-headed alien said, letting loose some white rings from the pincers on his arms. Somehow, he lifted Vilgax by his techno-arm and spin him around before releasing his invisible grip and sent the opposing flying to the ground. Getting up, Vilgax used the ruby ray and shot Lodestars face... off, and into a dead bush. Lodstar's body began to move around aimlessly; Vilgax just watched with his arms folded, he was smirking. "Hey, *whistle, whistle, whistle* buddy, over here! Uh no, not way. Warmer... warmer... cold... warm again... aaaaaand now cold... your enjoying is, aren't you?" Asked Lodestar to Vilgax.
-TIME BREAK-
A few more minutes into the fight... no matter what alien he tried, Ben was having a hard time taking care of Vilgax. If that wasn't enough, the barrier around them also acted as a jammer of some sort, preventing Ben from using aliens he already used (Vilgax gloated that thanks to his new lackey, this forcefield did just that when Ben tried to use Way Big again). The last alien Ben tried was Grey Matter, for the hell of it, and gave Vilgax the infamous "Alien Wet Looe" (the girls were grossed out, Gin was indifferent to it stating: a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do). It failed of course, as he couldn't find Vilgax's ears around those tentacles. Getting thrown off his opponents head, Grey Matter rolled along the dirt before changing back into human.
"Your childish games are over, Tennyson. Are you prepared to die?" Said Vilgax. Ben struggled to stand, its been awhile and either he was losing his touch or Vilgax really was better than him. His friends were concerned and worried about him, but after trying to break down the dome that kept their human transformer inside, there wasn't really anything they could do... plus they were still wiped out from fighting Vilgax earlier. "Ugh... you really... need to work... on your bedside manner" Ben joked, he chuckled but his gut hurt him when he did. "Yield, Tennyson. I've absorbed the strength of 10 different heroes from 10 different worlds, and with my past experience of your tricks... there's not 1 alien form you can surprise me with" said Vilgax.
Ben had an epiphany, there was 2 more left he could try, but with big risk. The first one... he didn't exactly leave the best impression, that left the second one. But could he do this? Could he get it to agree? Due to this stupid Code of Conduct thing, he was the only one who COULD do anything...
...
...
...
its now, or never.
Getting up completely, though on shaky legs, Ben manged to activate the Omnitrix one last time before slowly dialing to the one he wanted. "Your right, Vigly. I HAVE hit you with everything I got..." Ben said. Vilgax didn't pick up on his tone, but his friends did. They NEVER heard his voice so dark before. Saizou, the Lizardmen, Gin (only when he framed Ben), Kotsubo, Kuyo, even certain Highbreed... he's spoken with hate to them. But at this moment, to Vilgax... was deep loathing. It even scared Ben's inner self to a degree, not that he would admit it.
They saw him scroll past Fourarms... Ripjaws... Humungousaur... Benwolf... even this one alien that looked really badass that they never saw before and... uh oh! THAT ONE?! No way, he'll just scroll over it... right? "You've seen everything I can do..." Ben continued, moving his hand away. Jesus Christ, is he crazy?!
Kurumu: Ben, no!
Inner Moka: Your not serious, are you?
Mizore: Use the one before...
Gin: Or try Absolute Zero!
Kou: That was a prototype name, it's Articguana! WEEE!
Yukari: Anything but that one!
Ruby: You have no control over it!
Their pleads might as well have been told to a deaf person. "And you've fought every hero I have..." Ben went on, raising his hand up high. "DON'T DO IT!" Screamed Inner Moka, the emotion all over her face like paint. Ben looked at the conqueror of 10 worlds straight in the eye. Vilgax wasn't sure, but did Ben's eyes just change color for a split second?
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"... except one... It's Monster Time!"
SLAM!
FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!
Not only was the green light blinding as usual, but it was also strong enough to blow a hole in the top of the forcefield as it made it way to the moon (AN: No, its not dark out. Just anime physics for ya), deactivating it completely. "Sweetie, what have you done?!" Asked Kurumu, rhetorically. "Did you have to choose it?" Asked Mizore, also rhetorical. "YOU AMERICAN IMBECILE!" Yelled Inner Moka, not too thrilled at the course of events, but worried about his well-being. "Cancel him or something!" Said Yukari.
Ben couldn't, there was no turning back now. Hearing fluttering from above, he closed his eyes...
(AN: The temptation to leave you guys cliffhanging here was strong... but you've been waiting too long anyhow. Eerie music, STAT!)
Vilgax... never saw THIS before. He could only watch as the bats out-of-nowhere swarmed around his #1 enemy. His heart began to pick up speed, was this... fear? For Tennyson?! He ordered his muscles to move and slice the human in 2 before... whatever this was finished. But due to the strong winds, and the intense light that threatened to burn his skin off if he got too close... let's just leave it at that. When the blood of a vampire is absorbed by the Omnitrix, Ben's human self disappears, and his own vampiric power... is unleashed!
The bat swarm stayed around Ben, not moving. We zoom into where Ben's head is, the screen turns black, and then 2 Bens' are looking at each other. "This again? Look, I already told you, your not the boss of me!" Said Ben, the vampiric one. "That doesn't matter now, I need you" said Ben, the human one. "Hmmm, a tie. Should we get a third face involved?" Vampire Ben joked, his human side wasn't amused. "Very funny. Listen, Vilgax is back so..." Human Ben was saying, but was cut off rudely. "And I'd be more than happy to shove the sword up and call it ass-rape, but with you fighting me, neither of us can make a move" said Vampire Ben. "Can you stop and just pay attention?!" Asked Human Ben, trying to keep his temper under control.
"To YOU?! You fall asleep when I come out, and you can't beat your 1st enemy with a 'Way Big' edge" said Vampire Ben. "Benpire, stop and..." said Human Ben. "Benpire...?" Vampire Ben deadpanned (AN: Guest #4, you must be a mind reader cause that was a beta name I gave him XD! If I do include Whampire at some point, I don't want their names sounding too similar, it just feels strange to me). "What?" Asked Human Ben. The vampire version just named each of Ben's known aliens, since the author of this fanfic is too lazy to write them all down. "... out of all those, Benpire... THAT'S WHAT YOU COME UP WITH?!" Asked the vampire. "What?! We're both Ben, your the vampire... get it?" Asked Human Ben. The other Ben facepalmed. "What was your back-up name, Count Benula?" Asked 'Ben' very sarcastically.
"Uh... no?" Said Humanoid Ben. "This... is EXACTLY why I don't let you have control! Your pathetic human mind can't begin to grasp the concept of being a vampire" said Benpire. "How would you know? You don't even let me try" said Ben. "And while your arguing with yourself, Vilgax might make a move. Go sit in the corner and let me do my thing" said Benpire. Ben thought for a moment, was the name the only reason? Snapping his fingers, he said: "How about, Nosfer-Ben?" Benpire was about to protest, then said: "Not bad... not good either, but I can live with it." (AN: InvisibleMan, I did try your name, but mixed it up a little so it fits this universe better.)
"Done, now can I?" Asked Ben. "I appreciate the better name, but no. Now stop fighting me and go to bed!" Snapped Nosfer-Ben. "Only if you promise to NOT to beat up my friends" said Ben. "Well, if you jaywalk in front of a car and it runs ya over, whose fault is it? If they get in my way, they'll have to deal with it" said Nosfer-Ben. Although the vampire had a point that Ben hasn't been a vampire before, Ben couldn't let him run wild without a chain. His pride rivaled Inner Moka's, so if they... wait, his pride... THAT'S IT! It might backfire, but at this point Ben had nothing to loose. He just hoped the pain that might follow won't hurt as bad in his mind.
"Oh I get it, your scared" he said, making Nosfer-Ben turn around quickly. "What did you say?" He asked. "You heard me" said Ben, smirking. "No, no... I'm a little deaf in this ear, can you repeat that?" Nosfer-Ben asked cockily. "You... are... scared" said Ben, saying it mockingly slow. "Is this a joke? Me? Scared of you?!" The vampire Ben snorted. "Yup" said Ben. "Bullshit!" Said the vampire. "You fighting me proves it. Your afraid I can use your powers better than you can!" Said Ben. "HA, so that's it? You think you can handle ALL this?" Said the formerly named Benpire. "Oh, I KNOW I can... and your to chickenshit to find out" said Ben, completing his argument. He then did his best impression of Marlton from Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. "WOE IS ME! A HUMAN can use me better than I can use myself, how embarras-ACK!" Ben said, then he got pulled by his collar by a not-so-happy vampire... the growling he did didn't make Ben feel any better.
Then he smirked. "Ok asshole. You want it... *tone deepens* take it!" The vampires eyes glowed, and everything went black for Ben as he gasped.
...
...
...
...
...

...
...
The he saw green bats swirling away in front of himself, he could see Vilgax looking at him. 'Whoa... what just happened?' He asked himself, the last thing he remembered was he and his vampire version argued. Oh right, he said to "take it", but what was that supposed to mean? Ben looked at his wrist, but his Omnitrix wasn't there! He got nervous for a split second, but then REALLY looked at his hands and arms. Was he always this slightly buff? The girls said something like this happened before... does that mean...?
He felt his breastbone, and he felt the symbol (he was careful NOT to touch its center, that'll deactivate it)... he couldn't believe it. He was ACTUALLY in control! Ben also felt different now that he realized what happened. 'Whoa... this is...' he thought. Sure, it wasn't the sturdiness of Diamondhead or the strength of Way Big, but it was pure... raw... unadulterated power! Along with an unfamiliar energy flowing through his veins, he's never felt anything remotely close it this! 'No wonder he's nuts' Ben said to himself. "Still here." Ben's heart stopped for a sec, not expecting Nosfer-Ben's voice. "Alright, Benjamin. You got what you wanted, now prove it!" The vampire continued. 'Alright, let's do this!' Said Ben, eager to try this transformation out.
...
...
...
"Let's do this? As in: WE, will do this?" Asked Nosfer-Ben. 'Yeah, why? We'll work together' said Ben. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say that you can control me better than myself?" Nosfer-Ben asked, uh oh. 'Ah, w-what I meant was...' Ben tried to explain. "No... I think you were pretty clear, that apparently I'm too chickenshit to find out!" Nosfer-Ben cut in. 'I'd still like your help bec...' Ben tried again. "Oh, NOW you want my help?! Ya know what, f**** you and your horny cheerleaders! When you pass out because of my monster energy, I'll take over and kill Vilgax for you like you should have done years ago! Have fun, shithead" with that, Nosfer-Ben went silent.
Well, it backfired.
'Shit, now want am I gonna do? I don't know the 1st about being a vampire! What do I do, suck Vilgax to death... I think I threw up in my mouth' Ben thought to himself. Sure he's seen what Inner Moka can do... and felt it sometimes, but that's one thing. Now HE is the vampire, a monster, not an alien like he's more experienced with. Maybe he should ask...
-FANTASY-
Inner Moka: What you should do? KNOW YOUR PLACE, ASSHOLE!
POW! PING!
-END FANTASY-
Gulp... no. Just no... at least not in front of Vilgax. Speaking of whom, he was confused. What exactly did Tennyson do? He didn't appear to change, is he mocking him?! "Um... shouldn't he bring up a snappy comment right about now?" Asked Gin, to no one in particular. "Unless he waiting for squid-face to make a move first" said Mizore. "I don't know what your trying to pull Tennyson, your death with be swift!" Said Vilgax, drawing his sword again and charged at Ben. "Other Ben, MOVE!" Cried Kurumu. "I can't look!" Said Yukari, shielding her eyes with Ruby hugging her in comfort. Inner Moka was as confused as Vilgax. Being a vampire herself, she could pick up their monster energy in a snap. Their was something different about the way this Ben's energy was flowing... but why?
Ben, not knowing what else he could do, held his hands out to brace for the incoming slash.
..
...
...
...
...
It hurt... a little. Opening his eyes, he saw he instinctively grabbed the sword by the blade and while he did feel it penetrate his skin, he stopped it! Vilgax, not fully grasping what was happening and why, attempted to pull away. Ben's grip was like steel, he and the weapon would not budge. 'Im-impossible' thought the 10 world conqueror. Seeing Vilgax loose his smugness made Ben's confidence meter rise back up, he punched Vilgax in the chest; unintentionally making him cut 2 tress in half, side through 3 gravestones, and slam into a large stone that no one noticed before. 'Ok... I think I got this' Ben thought, snapping Vilgax's sword in 2 using his knee, then discarding it aside. For some reason though, Ben started feeling light-headed.
Even though the monsters' have seen his strength before, it still shocked them to their cores witnessing the incredible power this version of their Lover/Mate of Fate/Friend/Snow Angel had. Their was something different about him though, they just couldn't figure it out. "3 minutes into the fight, and still no bad-mouthing" Yukari pointed out. "Don't remind him, its nice and quiet" said Inner Moka, but she silently agreed with the young witch. Surprisingly, Vilgax still managed to recover, even after all that! "Tough nut to crack, this is the opponent I've been waiting for" said Nosfer-Ben. 'Sure, now you come back. You gonna help me out here or what?' Thought Ben to the other Ben.
No answer, of course.
Vilgax was baffled, how did Tennyson do that without transforming? Now that he thought about it, why was the Omnitrix emblem on his chest? It only moves when he... no way, it can't be. THIS was his transformation?! What in the world was he? He still looks completely human, with the strength of over 1000 in adrenaline rush mode. "Your parlor tricks are in vain, Tennyson!" Said Vilgax, getting irradiated. He pulled out his ray gun again and aimed at Ben, then he had a thought. Still looking at Ben; he smirked, turns his gun and shot toward the girls! (AN: Like how Rome killed Vescera in The Marine.)

A hissing sound came from Ben's hand, with no [visible] damage to his flesh. He blocked the shot from hitting Inner Moka jut in time. At first, she was shocked, she didn't even see him move! "This doesn't change anything, I'm not forgiving you" she said to him, pouting and closing her eyes while turning away, thinking she was talking to the asshole version. "Even though I'm so adorable?" He said, his tone made Inner Moka's eyes snap open, that wasn't the normally arrogant voice she was used to hearing! Looking back at him, his face was near her. Though his eyes were still dark green... there was a softness in them that made her heart melt, which you'll never hear her admit to. "... Ben?" She asked, her guard was still up in case this was a prank from the vampire Ben.
"Sorry again about this morning, I know my place now" he said. That was all the proof Inner Moka needed, vampire Ben would NEVER apologize. "Ben?" Asked Yukari. Her and the others peeked over a rock in case things got out-of-control. "The actual Ben?" Asked Gin. "Is that really you, my sweet Destined One?" Asked Kurumu. "My snow angel?" Asked Mizore. "Your the real Ben?" Asked Ruby. "Of course, who else is this good...?" Ben was gonna say 'good-looking', but he felt light-headed again and almost fell. Inner Moka caught him and asked if he was alright. He lied and said he was fine, but was it normal to have your vision began to cloud up by black mass? It felt like he was playing Spider-Man 3, whenever Peter Parker fights with his symbiote suit for too long.
"Leave... my friends... out of this..." Ben managed to say with some effort, is this what Nosfer-Ben meant? Although Vilgax was stunned by Ben's superhuman speed, he shrugged it off because he was now looking tired. "Submit and I'll consider it... I'll even make your demise mercifully brief" said Vilgax. Both mortal enemies stared into each others eyes from afar, and knew their opponents answer.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A mushroom cloud, lots of dirt/dust and a blowing wind was the result. Good thing the friends retreated behind that rock, with looks of worry and concern on their faces (AN: There you go, Kambinghaven10, there's your reactions). Looking over mother natures barricade, they saw Ben on top of Vilgax in a carter they must have just made, holding his beard of tentacles with a fist still raised. The alien in question had a nice black eye and the metal around his head was dented. "Say it..." said Ben. "I... yield..." said Vilgax, defeated. He wanted to continue, but none of his muscles responded to him. "Yeah... you... do..." said Ben, slowly. Then he fell back off his adversary and a few red beeps later, he was human again... passed out. He barely heard in his head: "Not bad, Ultra Ben... not bad at all."
-TIME BREAK-
After the fight, the monsters' learned that the entire battle was televised... Inner Moka wasn't too happy about that, but she restrained herself for Ben's sake, getting him away from Vilgax with help from the others. "MASTER VILGAX! I got here as soon as I could and... ooooooooh" said Psyphon, noticing everything as he teleported somehow. Hearing him say Vilgax was his master; Kurumu, Yukari and Mizore were about to have another contest, until... "That's enough, kids" said an elderly voice they all recognized. "MAX!" Said the monsters', seeing Ben's grandpa. He looked pretty cool in that suit too, very high-tech. "I'll go over the footage later. As for you Vilgax, by the rules enforced by the Galactic Code, you have lost this contest. You must leave this world, and never attack it again; or come within 100,000 light-years. Do you accept these terms?" Said Grandpa Max. "No, only because Tennyson also fell. That makes this a tie" said the warlord, thinking he found a loophole.
"Uh... that's not true, right?" Asked Kurumu, hoping not to deal with Vilgax again. "Even so, he called it quits, so he lost still" Mizore tried to counter, although she had no idea if that's how it worked. Grandpa waited a moment before answering. "Under normal circumstances, yes. This would be considered a tie..." he was saying, then he smiled. "But Vilgax overlooked one important detail. Section 6, Subsection C-2: If targeted world has multiple colonies, the challenge must be initiated in an agreed continent. And we're not on American soil, are we?" The Plumber said, making Vilgax growl to himself. Due to his impatience, even if he won the battle, he would've still lost the war... to Tennyson... AGAIN!
"And this is the monster world, the challenge is invalid" said another old voice. Everyone noticed a man in long robes.. the Headmaster! "It's been awhile, Maximilian Tennyson" he continued. "Tenmei, its been too long, old friend" said Grandpa Max. "You both..." Asked Ruby. "Know each other?" Asked Yukari, but both witches questions remained unanswered. "Monsters? You mean to tell me this is realm of monsters'?" Asked Vilgax, not expecting this turn of events. "Yes, it is. I'm sure your newest blindly loyal servant informed you?" Asked Headmaster Tenmei, sarcastically. "It must have slipped my mind" growled Vilgax, glaring at Psyphon. The one being glared at smiled nervously.
"Fine... I acknowledge the terms. But know this, this is far from over. I WILL have my vengeance on Ben Tennyson, one way or another... including all of you" said Vilgax, looking at the monsters'. "Until then, get the hell outta here" said Inner Moka, with as much snappiness as she could. "Bye, ya stupid jerk!" Waved Yukari. "Hit the road, or stars or whatever" said Kurumu. Doing just that, Vilgax and his servant teleported away. "See ya, don't wanna be ya!" Said Gin. Bowing to Grandpa Max, Tenmei walked away, most likely back to the school. "Now that he's dealt with... why is my grandson a vampire?!" Asked a certain someone, making every present monster silent. They were afraid to talk and though she was stunned by Grandpa Max's seriousness, only Inner Moka had a response.
"Can I put my rosary on first?"
7000 words give or take, not as long as Albedo's debut like I promised (about a thousand words short), I miscalculated. So there you go, although the form of Nosfer-Ben beat Vilgax, it was Ben himself that did the work. He was actually going to try and kick Vilgax THEN discover the strength in his arms, but I think it might have ruined the mood for you guys if I wrote that down. As for the poll results...
A) Yes: 8 (not surprising)
B) No: 3 (also not surprising)
C) Neutral: 2 (WTF?) :P
You have spoken, this series is going to have more mature themes, so the rating will change when we get there.
By that, I mean we need more character development. As much as you (and me, to a degree) want to get some "action", we need to build up before we get it. Yes, the girls have shown a interest in the best American hero since Captain America, but I feel their love for him needs to grow some more. Remember, this isn't jut Rosario+Vampire universe, there's another element to this story we need to incorporate. If you disagree, please do share your thoughts and I might be convinced to write maturity earlier.
Until then, please review/comment/flame and see ya next time! :D
