S1 EP2: Jealousy at its Finest

Salutations. Coming to you after I stopped King Skrull's initial plan to take over the earth. After that, a couple things went down. One, we told Ben that Max was missing and as expected, he was as bummed out as we are. Two, I noticed my powers have been acting kinda wonky since I acquired my fusion ability. Like, I would try to transform into one form and instead mistransform into some other form. I don't know what's going on. But anyway, on with this adventure.

Right now, the others and I were in the business district of the city, dealing with a random metahuman that had surfaced. This one could apparently control mud/tar and mold it into anything he wants. Guess what his name was...

Metahuman: "You're wasting your time, Arsenal and friends! For I, Tar Demon, am gonna kill you and take over this city!" I chuckled a bit and looked around at the crowd that had formed to watch.

Trey: "You guys wanna take this one? He's a bit too lame for me."

Ben: "Totally!" Although he couldn't use his Impact powers anymore, Ben still tries to help out. The Plumbers have been working on some technology for him, but haven't come up with anything. Right now, he has gauntlets that let off plasma shots, kinda like Mega Man.

Logan: "Should be no problem." He zoomed at Tar Demon and punched him, but his hand got stuck inside his tar body and Logan was swallowed inside. My eyes got wide.

Charity: "I'll get him." She went demon and summoned spinning saw blades from her cloak, then flew up and started hacking at Tar Demon, but he kept reforming. Then, he blasted Charity with a black mud blast, sending her back and sticking her to the side of a building. Ben ran up and covered his gauntlets with plasma energy, then punched through tar balls that Tar Demon sent at him. Ben reached Tar Demon and placed his hands inside of his body, then let off a plasma explosion, blowing Tar Demon up and freeing Logan.

Logan: "Thanks, bro." Ben nodded, but Tar Demon suddenly reformed and laughed.

Tar Demon: "I told you that you were wasting your time! I can't be destroyed!" I rolled my eyes.

Trey: "Alright, that's is, sticky butt." I glowed red and became Hydro Tide, then glowed blue. I grew about two feet taller, my skin turned dark blue, and my arms turned transparent so you could see the water coursing through them. My forearms and legs grew spikes on them and two batons appeared at my sides.

Ultimate Hydro Tide: "And to think, you could've had a fulfilling career as a construction worker. Or a melted Popsicle." I pulled out the batons and they transformed into two water whips with electricity flowing through them.

Tar Demon: "Prepare to know how the mammoths felt!" He charged at me. I rolled my eyes.

Ultimate Hydro Tide: "Just what I needed, a history lesson." I stood still until he got to me, then slashed straight through his stomach with one of my whips. Tar flew everywhere and Tar Demon seizured with electric energy. He recovered and shot an elongated tar arm at me, but I spun away from it so it stretched past me, then slashed the arm in half. It fell to the ground as regular tar. I smirked at Tar Demon, making him roar and melt into the ground, forming a huge tar pit around my feet. I turned my whips back into batons, then placed them in the tar pit. I casually snapped my fingers and the batons let off a massive amount of electrified water, doing a huge amount of damage to Tar Demon. He gathered his tar back up, then reverted back to his normal form, which was an islamic guy.

Tar Demon: "Curse you, Arsenal!" I nodded at Ben and he socked Tar Demon right in the face, knocking him clean out. I reverted to normal, along with Charity.

Trey: "Nice hit, Benster." Logan and Charity came up to us.

Charity: "Nice job, sweetie." She hugged me from the side. I smiled at her and nodded.

Logan: "I could've taken him, I have electric powers too." I chuckled at him.

Trey: "Did you even know electricity was his weakness, dude?"

Logan: "Um...no. How did you even know that?" I shrugged.

Trey: "Didn't. Just wanted to test Ultimate Hydro Tide." They all chuckled and shook their heads. I looked at Ben.

Trey: "How the gauntlets treating you, Benadict?" He held them up, showing me that they were covered in tar.

Ben: "All the tar clogged them up. So much for these." He took them off and they fell to the ground, smoking. I patted him on the back.

Trey: "Don't sweat it, Benji, we'll find some other way to get you powers." He was about to say something, but before he could, reporters and civilians crowded around us.

Reporter: "Trey, does it concern you that more victims of Jasper's DNA machine have started to surface?" I shrugged.

Trey: "Not really. My friends and I are more than enough to handle whatever metahuman decides to pop up."

Female reporter: "This question is for Logan. We know how powerful Arsenal is, just how powerful are you?" Logan thought about that.

Logan: "I mean, I'm admittedly not on par with alien boy and demon girl, here. But I can hold my own in a fight." He winked at a camera. I shook my head.

Other reporter: "This question is for Charity and Ben. How does it feel to go from regular people who sit on the sidelines to full-fledged partners?"

Charity: "Well, at first, I didn't even want any powers. But now that I have them, it feels great to be out here, helping my man." She put her head on my shoulder and I smiled.

Ben: "I-" He was cut off by JT and Cash pushing their way next to us and shoving Ben.

Cash: "Who needs to talk to that little punk? It's pretty well known that my boy, Trey does all the work. Right, Trey?" I raised my eyebrow at him and helped Ben to his feet.

Trey: "Weren't you just on some type of pathetic war path against me and Ben, a while back?"

Cash: "Yeah, well, uh, that was before I knew you were a superhero. Ben may still be a spineless wimp, but you're awesome!"

Ben: "Hey!"

Cash: "Shrimp, why don't you run off with your tail between your legs like a good boy and let the cool guys talk?" I was about to step up, but Logan and Charity grabbed my shoulders.

Charity: "No need. Ben's got this."

Logan: "Yeah, he's a big boy." I nodded and let Ben handle it.

Ben: "You know what, Cash, eat a dick." Our eyes got wide. Ben never uses that language.

Reporter: "We'll have to censor that." JT and Cash looked absolutely shocked.

Cash: "What did you just say to me, Tennyson?!"

Ben: "I said eat a dick. You think you're the big top dog around here, but in reality, you're a normal person. A civilian. When danger comes, you run away like a little bitch, but have the nerve to call me a shrimp and have the fucking audacity to bully kids that are smaller than you! Where do get off?!" Cash was beyond pissed now.

Cash: "You better shut up if you know what's good for you, Tennyson. Trey isn't gonna help you, now." Ben scoffed.

Ben: "I don't need my alien friend's help with you, Cash. Honestly, you're not worth it. You barely get straight D's in school, you're a mediocre athlete, and JT, your ONLY friend, only hangs around with you because he's afraid of your punk ass. Although I can't see why." The crowd all laughed and the cameras pointed at Cash, who looked humiliated.

Cash: "That's it, you're dead!" He swung at Ben, who ducked under his fist and punched him in the stomach.

Ben: "Please, you're nothing compared to my martial arts training." Cash yelled in fury and ran at Ben, who simply tripped him up.

Ben: "It's over, dude. I'm not afraid of you anymore and after this, nobody will be." Cash got up and I noticed him pull a pocket knife out of his pocket. He swung it at Ben, but I quickly turned my hand into a Diamondhead one and grabbed it.

Trey: "Not cool, kid." I crushed the knife and turned my hand back to normal.

Cash: "I'll get you, Tennyson! And, Trey, you're dead too."

JT: "Let's just go, man." He pulled Cash away from the crowd.

Reporter: "Well, that was riveting. I have one more question for all of you, though."

Logan: "What's that?"

Reporter: "How do you feel about school starting, tomorrow?" All of our eyes got wide.

Trey, Logan, Charity and Ben: "WHAT?!"

...

With Cash and JT..

Cash: "What happened to Tennyson? All of a sudden, he stands up for himself."

JT: "He's been fighting villains with Trey and his friends, all summer. Compared to sociopaths with powers, the two of us are nothing." Cash stopped and pinned JT against a wall.

Cash: "I am not nothing! And, Trey and Ben will feel my fury, I promise you that!" He let JT go.

JT: "But, how? It's obvious the two of us can't do anything to either of them, especially Trey. He's a flipping alien!" Cash was getting really mad, now. He started to twitch and mumble things to himself.

JT: "Cash, you okay?" Cash continued to twitch until a guy with a ski mask on pushed past them, running from the police.

Ski mask guy: "Outta my way, worthless kids!" That made Cash's eyes glow.

Cash: "I AM NOT WORTHLESS!" He suddenly fired a black beam at the guy, turning him completely into a puddle. JT looked surprised.

JT: "Cash, how did you do that?" Cash looked at his hands.

Cash: "I...don't know. I just got really angry and felt something activate inside of me."

JT: "Cash, do you know what this means? You're one of the victims of that DNA machine thing! You're a metahuman!"

Cash: "Metahuman, huh?" He tried another blast and fired it at a light pole. The pole transformed into the giant marshmallow thing from Ghostbusters, "Holy cow, it worked! I can do anything!" He turned the pole back to normal.

JT: "You could be the next superhero, dude!" Cash laughed, sinisterly, and shook his head.

Cash: "Think bigger, my friend. With my new powers, we can get eternal respect from anyone. Including Trey and Ben."

JT: "What are you saying, dude?"

Cash: "You'll see." He materialized wings on his back, then flew off.

JT: "Oh man."


The next day, the others and I were standing in front of Bellwood School. The city apparently didn't see a need for different schools so every grade was packed into one huge building. That meant that Ben could be in school with us.

Trey: "I still don't see why we have to be up in this bitch. We're fucking superheroes!" Ben and Logan nodded in agreement.

Logan: "Yeah, what if Vegeta attacks while we're in school?"

Charity: "First off, Vegeta's in the null void thanks to Trey and Matt. Second, we made a promise to Max that we'd try to be normal teenagers, too. Do you wanna break that promise?" Logan, Ben and I looked at the ground.

Trey, Logan and Ben: "No..."

Charity: "Good, now let's go." She grabbed my hand and pulled me into the school. Ben and Logan sighed and followed us. We were met with applause as soon as we got inside.

Girl: "You've helped a lot of people in this school, Trey. We'd all like to say thank you." I smiled and nodded.

Logan: "Hey, what about us?"

Girl: "Oh yeah, you too, Lance." Logan scowled as Ben, Charity and I burst into laughter.

Logan: "Treez, you're lucky I'm not all about the fame or I'd have a serious problem with that." I put my arm around him.

Trey: "Yeah, I guess I'm lucky...Lance." We burst into laughter again until a girl with dirty blonde hair walked up to us.

Girl: "Hey, Ben." Ben immediately stopped laughing.

Ben: "Hey, Aubrie, what's up?" Logan and I looked at each other, then at Ben.

Logan: "Who's this, bro?" I snickered.

Trey: "Yeah, who's this?" Charity slapped us both on back of our heads.

Trey and Logan: "OW!" Aubrie giggled.

Ben: "Guys, this is Aubrie Rose, my friend who I met after the soccer game. Aubrie, Team Arsenal."

Aubrie: "Nice to finally meet you guys, Benny has told me a lot about you guys."

Charity: "Aww, Benny? That's so cute!" Logan and I held back laughs.

Trey: "Yeah, nice to meet you too, Aub."

Aubrie: "So, Ben, I was wondering if you'd want to explore the new school with me. We're gonna be going here for a while." Ben looked at us and I gave him the 'go' look.

Ben: "Sure, that'd be great. See you later, guys." He dapped me up and walked off with Aubrie.

Charity: "So, what do you guys wanna do? It's the first day so EVERYBODY is skipping class." I shrugged.

Logan: "How about we see what's cooking for lunch? The food can't be as bad as last year." I nodded.

Trey: "I'm down for that. Babe?"

Charity: "Sounds fun. And the lunch wasn't that bad." I put both my arms around Logan and Charity's shoulders as we walked toward the cafeteria.

Logan: "Not that bad? Chare, the milk tasted like a carton of ass juice."

Trey: "How do you know what ass juice tastes like?" Charity giggled.

Little did we know that Cash was watching us with a sinister smirk on his face.

Cash: "Let's get this school year started, right." His eyes glowed.

...

We were all chilling in a random class room after a while. Charity and I were sitting on a desk, Logan was on a desk next to us, and Ben was on a desk behind us with Aubrie. Some students were sitting around us, laughing at a story I was telling

Trey: "So, the Omnitrix had timed out, I'm in my underwear, Logan's butt ass naked, and Krantz is getting away. I had to think quick as hell."

Logan: "This part is the best!" Suddenly, I felt a huge aura coming straight for us.

Charity: "Holy fuck. Whatever that is, it isn't playing games." I nodded.

Trey: "Everybody get behind us. Now!" The students followed my orders, just as the door opened, revealing...Cash?

Cash: "Why so surprised, Trey?" I looked at the others and stood up.

Trey: "Um, because we were expecting a threatening alien or monster or something. But, instead we have you."

Cash: "What are you trying to say?" Ben stood up and came next to me.

Ben: "He's trying to say you're washed up, Cashy boy. We have actually threatening bad guys to handle, we can't waste our time on a nobody like you." That aura got insanely strong, right as he said that.

Cash: "I'M NOT A NOBODY" He let off a huge cosmic shockwave, blowing Ben and I through a wall and out into the hallway. I rubbed my head.

Trey: "You okay, Ben?"

Ben: "Yeah, I think so. How did Cash get powers, though?"

Cash: "SERGAUSON! TENNYSON!"

Trey: "Questions later. Right now, you need to get outta here before Cash hurts you. Get the students out of here."

Ben: "Got it. Be careful, bro." Right as he ran off, Logan and Charity crashed through the wall and landed next to me.

Logan: "He's got Alien X powers." My eyes got wide. Who knows what could happen if Cash unleashed those full powers.

Charity: "What's the plan, Treez?" Cash charged in and I narrowly dodged him.

Trey: "Take him down, try not to die."

Charity and Logan: "Right." Cash created two spinning saw blades with ropes attached and swung them at us, but Charity deflected them with her cloak and fired a necroplasm blast at him. Cash laughed and turned the blast into butterflies, then commanded the lockers to breathe fire at Charity, knocking her back and sending her flying down the hall. Logan used his super strength to rip two doors from their hinges, then used them as boxing gloves to sock Cash on both sides of his face. Cash was unharmed and turned the doors into snakes that wrapped Logan up. Then, Cash simply flicked Logan on the forehead and he went flying into the bathroom with a sonic boom.

Trey: "Guys!" I looked at Cash, my eyes glowing red. I ran at him.

Cash: "You should have never messed with me, Sergauson!" He ran at me too and prepared to punch me. Right as his fist was about to hit me, he was blinded by a flash of red light and I caught his fist as Fourarms.

Fourarms: "I was just gonna say the same thing." I punched him in the stomach and he slid down the hallway on his heels. I charged at him, but he easily backhanded me into a classroom. I recovered just in time to be hit in the jaw by him and blasted into a desk. He made the desk grow chains to keep me seated, then shot a large energy ball at me, making me revert to normal.

Cash: "Not so tough now, are you, geek?!" He charged at me, but Logan came down from the ceiling and slammed him down through the floor. I slid out of the chains and jumped down through the hole they made, becoming Alemo as I landed. Cash had submachine guns, firing thousands of rounds at Logan, at an inhuman rate. Logan zoomed around until Cash made the ground into ice, causing Logan to slip and land on his neck. I pulled out my golden sword, then ran at Cash, but it turned to dust as soon as it touched him. He punched me back, but I became Web Head and pulled myself to him with a web, then became Swampfire and pushed a huge fire ball into his face. He stumbled back a little, then smirked and made missles come from the sky and obliterate me. I thankfully regenerated and became Void Matter, then attempted to slow him down by turning the ground below him into liquid. He sunk down, but quickly grew wings and flew up, then teleported behind me and impaled me straight through the chest. Thankfully, Void Matter has no actual solid form so I wasn't hurt. I became Teleportal and teleported behind him, then became Goku and nailed him in the back with a Kamehameha blast. He went flying toward Logan, who was about to hit him with eye beams, but Cash recovered in mid-air and phased right through the ground.

Logan: "Where'd he go?" He erupted from under Logan and grabbed him, then breathed necroplasm at Logan's head, knocking him to the ground.

Goku: "You have demon powers, too?" Cash smirked.

Cash: "I am a god, dork. That DNA machine gave me the ability to do what I want, when I want. And right now, I WANT to kill you!" He shot out his hands at me, then electrocuted me when he grabbed me. I became Chromastone and redirected the shock to the ground, then broke out of his grasp and fired a colorful beam at him. He laughed and opened his mouth, swallowing the beam with no problem. Charity tried to sneak up on him, but he quickly grabbed her cloak and ripped it off, actually causing her pain. She fell to the ground and reverted to normal. Cash smirked.

Cash: "You know, I have no fun at all with these two. So, away they go."

Chromastone: "No!" I tried to intervene, but Cash made hands come out of the walls and hold me in place. Then, Cash snapped his fingers and Charity and Logan's skin melted off if them, leaving nothing but skeletons.

Cash: "That's better." I started to shake.

Chromastone (demonic voice): "Stupid kid. You have no clue what you have just done." I glowed red and became that Nine Tail Fox alien that I got from Kyle. My eyes were red and the symbol was on my chest.

Trey: "KURUMA!" I broke free from the hands, then flew up and socked Cash straight in the mouth, sending him flying through the school roof and out into the sky, outside. Before he could recover, I had already impaled my tail through his stomach and slammed him to the ground. He shot chainsaws at me, but I slapped them all aside, jumped up, slammed a fire ball over his head, then slammed all four of my legs into his body. He pushed me off, but I went right back at him with a flaming right hook to the jaw. He went flying toward a building, but I met him there and grabbed him.

Kuruma: "Was killing really worth it to prove your worth? WAS IT?!" I breathed a flamethrower in his face then threw him as far as I could. He landed in a crater and I heard laughing. Suddenly, Cash floated up from the crater, covered in a purple aura.

Cash: "You loser, I have the powers of a Celestialsapien! Your lame fox form is NOTHING to me." He floated up higher and locked his hands together, "Just like this planet!" He unleashed a huge beam into the core of the earth, causing the planet to literally split in half and explode. The explosion made me revert to normal and fly out into space. Cash caught me by the neck.

Trey: "Why not just kill me? You've already killed everyone else."

Cash: "HaHa, no. I'm going to keep you alive and hurt you over and over, just to show you how serious I am!" I closed my eyes.

Trey: "I guess I have no choice." I glowed red and became..

Alien X: "There can be only one." I unleashed a shockwave, knocking him back.

Cash: "So, we'll be evenly matched. You still can't beat me." I glowed blue, turning snow white with green eyes, spikes on my arms and the evolved symbol on my chest.

Trey: "ULTIMATE ALIEN X!"

Cash: "No..." He charged at me and socked me in the stomach, but I stood still, then grabbed his arm and blasted him back with eye beams.

Ultimate Alien X: "Ben was right, you're nothing but a bully, and a killer. You wanted a fight with me. Now, you've officially lost one."

Cash: "I WILL NOT LOSE TO YOU, GEEK!" He shot a beam at me, but I absorbed it with one hand, then blasted it back at him, knocking him back. He recovered and bulked his body up, then came flying at me, swinging. I dodged each punch, then kneed him in the stomach, then slammed him over the neck. He flew downward into space, but suddenly rocketed back up and punched me in the chin. I didn't even budge and instead used telekinesis to pull some planets to crush Cash in between them, then slammed Saturn's rings over top of him, then made them wrap him up.

Ultimate Alien X: "It's over, Cash, give it up."

Cash: "I will NEVER!" He burst out of the rings and charged at me, actually managing to land a solid blow to my stomach, and sending me flying into deep space.

Ultimate Alien X: "He just won't quit and he's actually on par with my power. I need to end this, fast." Right as Cash flew at me, I created a collar with a cross on it and clamped it around his neck. Cash suddenly reverted to normal and I created an oxygen tank for him.

Cash: "What did you do?!"

Ultimate Alien X: "I put a limiter on you. Since your powers are linked to your DNA, that collar keeps you from using them unless that cross is pulled off."

Cash: "So, you beat me, so what? The earth is still gone and everyone is still dead! HAHAHAHAHA!" This kid is more insane than I thought.

Ultimate Alien X: "Not for long." I snapped my fingers and the entire earth reformed, including everybody that had been killed.

Cash: "Impossible! Screw you, hero!" I smirked.

Ultimate Alien X: "Sorry, you're a little too young for me." I grabbed him and warped back to the school, where Charity, Logan and Ben were all waking up.

Logan: "Man, dying sucked."

Charity: "No kidding. Like a really fucked up headache." They looked and saw me.

Ben: "Trey, that you? Hey, you beat Cash!" I nodded.

Cash: "Screw you, Tennyson! You're lucky I can't use my powers or you'd all be dead!" I rolled my eyes and snapped my fingers, knocking Cash out.

Ultimate Alien X: "I think he needs a major time out." I reverted to normal and Charity immediately tackled me to the ground, kissing me.

Charity: "I thought we were really toast, this time, babes." I smirked and kissed her forehead.

Trey: "Come on, babe, you know me better than that." We both got up.

Logan: "Which is exactly why we were worried." He smirked and we did our handshake, then hugged.

Ben: "Look, Unc, I'm sorry for all of this. If I had never talked to Cash the way I did, maybe we could've avoided all that." I shrugged and patted his back.

Trey: "It's cool, dude. Cash has been messing with you for years and it was good that you stood up to him. Now, who wants smoothies?"

Logan: "Shouldn't we take Cash to the Plumbers?" I looked at Cash.

Trey: "We'll drop him off on the way." With that, Logan picked Cash up, then the four of us headed off.


Meanwhile, in a graveyard. A certain tomb started to rumble and suddenly, a hand erupted from the dirt.

Voice: "The ultimate life form lives!"

The end.


Oh shit, who could Trey have accidentally revived? I think we all know, but you'll have to wait a while to be sure. I've also always wanted to have Cash be more of a powerful villain, considering his bullying past with Ben. There's also a poll on my profile for what power Ben should have, if any. Go vote! That be it, my friends. Until next time!
