S1 EP8: Runs in the Family Part 1
How's it hanging, guys? Ben, here, coming to you after Trey and I stopped Logan from destroying the city and fixed his chip. Trey went to meet Azmuth on Primus and left Logan, Charity and I in charge of the city while he's gone. Logan's pretty much back to normal so we convinced Trey that it'd be okay to go. Right now, the others and I are on an empty road that leads to nowhere in particular. Why? Because it's finally time for Logan and I to have our race.
Ben: "I hope you're ready for the biggest upset since the Warriors blew that 3-1 lead, Loges." Logan chuckled.
Logan: "Don't let Trey hear you mention that, he'll go beserk. And as for an upset, not gonna happen, shifter." I smirked at him.
Ben: "We'll just have to see, bionic." Charity playfully raised an eyebrow
Charity: "The watch came with some confidence, huh, Benny?" I shrugged.
Ben: "Little bit."
Logan: "Alright, Ben, we race till the end of the street, which is exactly 2,000 miles away. First one to the finish line that Charity placed is the winner." I nodded.
Ben: "Hold on, lemme get my game face on." I turned on the Metatrix and shuffled through the holographic menu until I found the form I wanted, then slammed the core down when it popped up. I felt a surge of energy as a green and black jumpsuit materialized on me. I grew to about 6'4, got shaggy orange hair, orange goggles, and lighting bolts on my ears. The symbol was on my chest and I finished off as Inertia.
Inertia Ben: "Man, that never gets old." Logan smirked.
Logan: "Neither does kicking your butt. Call it, Chare!"
Charity: "On your marks...get set...GO!" When she said go, Logan and I zoomed off, creating a sonic boom and a huge wind that knocked Charity off her feet.
Charity: "Holy shit..they are ruuuuning." Logan and I started off neck and neck, then I pulled ahead a bit, only for him to catch up and pull ahead, himself.
Logan: "Face it, Ben, you're gonna be second best for a while." At his words, I slowed down a bit, giving Logan a sizeable gap. Lightning struck in my eyes and I suddenly zoomed off faster than ever, leaving lightning in my trail. I easily passed Logan in a matter of seconds.
Inertia Ben: "Catch ya later, bro!"
Logan: "No way!" His eyes glowed blue and he zoomed off too. He caught up to me and we had another neck and neck clash, the finish line in sight. I smirked.
Inertia Ben: "Photo finish, anyone?" Logan smirked back.
Logan: "Nah." He suddenly boosted way ahead of me and right through the finish line, sliding to a stop, effortlessly. My eyes got wide and I dug my heels into the street to try and stop, only for the Metatrix to time out and send me tumbling. I rubbed my head as I sat up.
Ben: "Wait, wait, wait, were you toying with me the whole time?"
Logan: "Admittedly, you did surprise me when you sped up like you did. But that was really only like 85% of my speed." I stood up and shook his hand.
Ben: "I guess you really are the fastest human alive, dude." Logan winked.
Logan: "And don't you forget it. You're a close second though, bro." The word 'second' stung a bit, but I pushed it to the back of my mind and smiled at him.
Ben: "Yeah, yeah. Rematch?" Logan nodded.
Logan: "You are so on!" Before I could even touch my watch, Charity teleported in through a ring of fire.
Charity: "Guys, we have a problem!" Logan and I were in awe.
Logan: "When did you learn to fucking teleport?!" Charity shrugged.
Charity: "You aren't the only one with hidden powers that take time to master. Anyway, there's trouble in the city. Spellbinder decided to come out of hiding since she escaped and is wreaking havoc."
Ben: "Spellbinder? Nabu's niece? I thought she was only in the villain thing because of her uncle."
Logan: "Apparently not. We should go stop her before she causes too much damage." Charity and I nodded. I turned on my watch and slapped it down, going Inertia again. Charity transformed into her demon form, then stepped through another fiery portal.
Charity: "See you guys there!"
Logan: "You could have at least brought us with you!" I laughed, then Logan and I zoomed off, not seeing the figure that was standing behind us.
...
CHARITY'S POV
As soon as I stepped through the other side of my necro-portal, I saw Spellbinder. She was using her telekinesis to hold a hotdog stand upside down, along with its owner.
Spellbinder: "12.50 for a hotdog with mustard?! Are you fucking serious?!" The hotdog vendor, although scared, held his ground.
Hotdog Vendor: "Hey, I gotta make a living, witch lady. We don't all have freaky powers to rob banks with." Spellbinder scowled, then summoned a sinkhole in the street and dropped the vendor down into it.
Charity: "Oh, no." I quickly summoned some chains and sent them down into the sinkhole after the vendor. I pulled him out and toward me.
Charity: "Are you alright?"
Hotdog Vendor: "Yes, thank you, Hellspawn. Maybe I should lower my prices." He ran off after that and I turned to Spellbinder, who was levitating with her arms folded.
Spellbinder: "What the fuck are you? I don't see a symbol, so you aren't Arsenal." I smirked and powered up fire in my hands, rocketing up to her, then slamming her down to the ground.
Charity: "How come every time a creature appears in the city, automatically think it's some new form that my boyfriend has. It's pretty insensitive to the rest of us." Yes, I quip sometimes. But not nearly as much as Trey, and not nearly as thoroughly.
Spellbinder: "Wait, you're that Charity girl? When did you get powers?" She chanted a spell that sent snakes after me, but I summoned two mini daggers and sliced the snakes, then kicked her across the face, making her stumble back.
Charity: "Was apparently born with them. Go figure." My daggers were surrounded by purple fire and morphed into battle axes, then I went at Spellbinder again. She reached inside her bag and pulled out smoke pellets, then threw them on the ground, making a smoke screen blind me. I felt a kick to the back of my head and flew into a car. Before I could recover, she chanted a spell and sent several cars my way. My eyes got wide and I quickly had a necro-portal swallow me up. I reappeared in the air and used some chains to fling a car at Spellbinder, who put up a shield to protect herself. As I came down to the ground, I formed hellfire machine guns in my hands and started letting off rounds, causing her shield to weaken. It cracked, then I switched to my hellfire shotgun and blasted the shield, making it crumble completely and send Spellbinder flying. She recovered in mid-air and opened her bag, sending dozens of small daggers at me. I pulled my chains out again and spun them around, easily deflecting the daggers, then sent the chains to wrap around Spellbinder's feet and pulled her down. As she fell, she pulled out a little totem from her bag and threw it. It suddenly grew into a giant totem creature that caught her in its hand before she hit the ground.
Spellbinder: "Attack!" The totem charged at me, but I breathed fire at the street under it, turning it into tar and slowing the creature down. It struggled to free itself. At that moment, Logan and Ben zoomed up.
Inertia Ben: "What the heck is that?"
Charity: "Totem creature. She's gotten more tricky since last time."
Logan: "Well, how do we stop it? That tar isn't going to hold forever." Ben slapped his symbol and became Shuriken, then pulled out his bo staff.
Shuriken Ben: "Let's try finding a weak point." He jumped off a wall and spun his staff, then slammed hit over the totem creature's head, only for it to backhand him aside and send him flying into a building.
Logan: "It's obviously not on his head." He zoomed through the tar and started punching at the creature's legs at hyper speed, doing no damage. He zoomed back to us, "Or his legs." I looked at the creature and noticed its chest glowing dark red.
Charity: "Got it." I sent two chains at the creature's chest and opened it up, "Logan, eye beams!" Logan nodded and blasted his eye beams at the creature's exposed chest, causing it to immediately crumble to pieces. Spellbinder fell to the street.
Shuriken Ben: "Nice job, guys."
Logan: "Yeah...nice job to you for distracting it while Chare and I did the real work." I slapped Logan on the head and Ben lowered his head.
Spellbinder: "Fuck you guys!" She suddenly let off a wave and trapped the three of us against the building, then took off running.
Charity: "Guys, she's getting away!" We all struggled to get free, but couldn't.
Suddenly, something zoomed in, tied Spellbinder up and set her in front of us. The blur stopped moving and was revealed to be a mixed race kid with curly, even length hair, a simple blue long sleeve shirt, grey jeans, and white sneakers.
Kid: "There you go, bad guy busted."
Spellbinder: "NOOOOO!" The kid rolled his eyes and zapped her with eye beams, knocking her out cold. We were freed from the building after she was knocked out.
Kid: "She'll be out for a while, my beams were set to tranquilizer mode." The others and I looked at each other.
Charity: "Thanks for the help, kid. We didn't know there was another metahuman in the city." The kid shook his head.
Kid: "Oh, I'm not a metahuman, Charity. I was actually born with my powers."
Logan: "Born with them? Those looked like bionics that you just used. Are you saying that you were born bionic?" The kid rubbed the back of his head.
Kid: "I kinda can't tell you that."
Shuriken Ben: "What do you mean? Who exactly are you and where did you come from?"
Kid: "Can't tell you that, either, Ben. What I can tell you is that my name is Victor and I'm 13 years old."
Logan: "Okay, Victor, what exactly do you want? Not that we don't appreciate the save, but it is kind of suspicious that you appear out of nowhere."
Victor: "I think Trey would be the only one that'd believe me if I told him." I raised an eyebrow.
Charity: "What do you know about Trey, have you met him?" Victor shook his head.
Victor: "Only know about him from stories that my family told me, I'm afraid. I'm a huge fan of his work, though."
Shuriken Ben: "Oh...kay. This family of yours, do they also have powers?" Victor looked at his watch.
Victor: "We should actually get going if we want to meet Trey when he gets back to Earth. Come on, I know where he's warping in." With that, he zoomed off before we could say anything. Ben looked at Logan and I.
Shuriken Ben: "Should we follow him?"
Charity: "Even if he's lying, we shouldn't let him get away from us like that. Besides, what if he actually knows Trey?"
Logan: "You're right. Let's go." Ben slapped his symbol and became Inertia again, then he and Logan zoomed off. I rocketed after them. We eventually caught up with Victor.
Victor: "There you guys are, I was starting to think you didn't trust me."
Charity: "Well, you did literally come out of nowhere, so excuse us if we're a bit skeptical."
Victor: "Understandable. We're about there, by the way." We came to a stop in the woods outside of the city. Ben's Metatrix timed out and reverted him to normal.
Ben: "The woods? Why would Trey land here?"
Logan: "What are you trying to pull here, kid?" He took a step toward Victor, who had his hands up in defense. I sighed and conjured a ring of fire on the ground around Logan.
Charity: "Let's all calm down, Loges. Let him explain."
Victor: "Thank you, but I can't explain anything until Trey gets here."
Ben: "How do we know that this is where he's actually warping in? You could be trying to set us up." There was suddenly a warp of light and when it passed, Trey was standing there.
...
TREY'S POV
It was awesome of Azmuth to invite me back to Primus for a training session. I'm not usually one for training, but come on, Azmuth is the one who created the Omnitrix and created me, to a certain degree. It was a no-brainer to accept. I decided to have him warp me back in the woods, so I wouldn't cause any attention but when I got back, Ben, Logan and Charity are all there, along with a kid.
Trey: "Uh, hey guys. What are you all doing here?" Charity immediately came over and hugged me, then pecked me on the lips.
Charity: "Hey, baby, I missed you. This kid showed up while we were fighting Spellbinder, says he wants to talk to you."
Ben: "Yeah, he apparently knows all about you." I looked at the kid, up and down. I'd never seen him before in my life.
Logan: "We think it's a load of bullshit. Get this, though, he's got bionics." I raised my eyebrows at him.
Trey: "Bionics, huh? Maybe we should chat it up...uh."
Kid: "Victor, my name is Victor. And if you don't mind, can we talk separately from the others? It's kind of a personal thing." I looked at the others, then back at him.
Trey: "Uh, yeah sure, dude. Be right back, guys." Victor and I walked over to a more open spot and I leaned on a rock.
Trey: "So, you know all about me, huh? You a fan?" Victor smiled and shook his head.
Victor: "Not exactly. Everything I know about you, I learned from my mother and father. It's an honor that I finally get to meet you, Mr. Sergauson." I chuckled.
Trey: "Please, call me Trey. So, you've met me, what exactly do you want?"
Victor: "Before I answer that question, let me ask you one. Can you turn into Prometheus yet?" That question had me taken aback, a bit. How did he know about a fusion form that I just learned about?
Trey: "Um, yeah, I can. How did you know about that?"
Victor: "Your questions will be answered, I promise. But first, can you show me?" I thought about it for a second. I'm not sure what this kid is trying to pull, but I'm not sensing anything evil about his aura. I shrugged.
Trey: "Sure, why not?" He smiled and I stood up straight, closing my eyes.
Ben: "What's going on, over there? It looked like they were talking but now, Trey's just standing there."
Logan: "It looks like he's about to change. For what, exactly?" Charity didn't say anything.
Suddenly, rocks started to levitate around me like the first time I went Super Saiyan. Red lightning struck out of nowhere and I opened my eyes, making my body release a powerful burst of yellow light. When it cleared, I was a new form that was a combination of Super Saiyan Goku and Atomix. I basically looked like Super Saiyan God Goku, but with green hair, a green aura with particles floating around, and the symbol on my chest. I also had red eyes.
Prometheus: "Is this what you wanted?" Victor smiled and nodded, while the others were in shock.
Charity: "His...his aura is off the fucking charts. Even higher than what Apocalypse's was."
Ben: "Way cool..."
Logan: "That's an understatement."
Victor: "Just like the stories said, it's incredible. I'm honored to be able to see it in person."
Prometheus: "So, now what?" Victor smirked.
Victor: "Now, I show you my upgraded form." His eyes glowed light blue and he transformed into his 'upgraded' form, which looked like Iron Man's Godkiller armor, but with blue and white colors.
Ben: "Awesome!" Logan just looked in awe.
Prometheus: "So I'm guessing you want to spar, since you went through the trouble of transforming too."
Victor: "If it's not too much trouble." I shrugged.
Prometheus: "Give it your best shot." He nodded and flew at me, shooting blue laser spheres at me. I knocked them away with one hand, then put my hand out and pushed Victor back, knocking him back several feet. He turned his hands into cannons and fired at me, but I flew all around them, then levitated there, looking at him with a smirk on my face.
Victor: "Not gonna attack, huh? Makes this easier." He flew at me at an amazing speed and swung at me, only for me to dodge at an equally amazing speed. He turned around and kicked at my head, but I ducked, then weaved another one of his punches. He created a laser staff in his hand, then swung at me, but I ducked under that too, then seemingly disappeared.
Charity: "What the fuck? I never saw him move!" Victor looked around for me.
Prometheus: "Ahem." He looked up to see me floating there with my arms folded, still smirking. I held my hand up and fired a green Kamehameha blast, pushing him into the ground and creating a crater. He seemed to take no damage and summoned lightning from the sky. My eyes got wide and I flew around to dodge it, leaving myself open to a punch to the gut by Victor's glowing fist. It didn't hurt, but I did fly back a little. I smirked at him, then flew at him. He blasted me with an ice beam, but I flipped over it, landed behind him, and let off a nuclear wave from my body, all in one motion. He flew back into a tree, but quickly recovered and held up his arm, forming a round energy shield on his hand. I raised my eyebrows and braced myself as he rammed straight into me, pushing me past the others and deeper into the woods. he stopped flying and I tumbled onto the ground.
Prometheus: "Never seen that one before."
Victor: "I have a lot of abilities that you've never seen. Can we turn it up, now?" I smirked.
Prometheus: "Thought you'd never ask." I powered up to about 45% energy and we both flew at each other. He swung his shield at me face, but I dropped under him, grabbed his leg, and started swinging him around. I let go and he sailed into there, where I zoomed up and met him with a nuclear charged fist to the back, sending him crashing back down to the woods. I charged at him, but he went intangible and phased through the ground, then appeared on top of a boulder and threw energy discs at me. I thought they'd explode, but they actually opened up and restrained me, letting Victor nail me with his eye beams, which were way more powerful than Logan's. I slid on my heels and hit a tree. I powered up and broke out of the restraints, then was on him in an instant and nailed him in the stomach. He recovered, but I spun around and roundhouse kicked him in the head, making him spin around. I went to follow up, but he turned his body into smoke and my fist went right through his chest. My eyes widened and he smirked, then started spinning around at super speed, sucking me up into a tornado. I kept spinning until I dug my heels into the ground and made him stop, then powered up radiation and ki energy in my hands, and let it off at him in a small but powerful burst that made him fall to his knees.
Prometheus: "Wanna stop now?" Victor smirked at me.
Victor: "Let's see 100% power." I raised an eyebrow. This kid is nuts.
Prometheus: "If you say so." I powered up again to 100% and instantly, I had hit him in the stomach with my most powerful nuclear ki fist, knocking him way back and making him turn back to his normal form. I landed in front of him and in a burst of yellow light, I had reverted to normal.
Trey: "Sorry, I just got that form today, not exactly sure how to control the power." I helped Victor up and he didn't even seem to be hurt.
Victor: "No worries, man, that was incredible. Thank you for sparring with me!" I smiled and nodded.
Trey: "You're pretty powerful, yourself. If I wasn't Prometheus, you may have kicked my ass."
Victor: "That was nothing, my father is way more powerful than I am. He taught me everything I know, along with my mother."
Trey: "This father of yours, he bionic too?" Victor nodded.
Victor: "Yep, one of the very first bionic superhumans. The only reason I even have any powers is because of him."
Trey: "He give you a chip or something?"
Victor: "No, I was actually born with my powers. My father had his chip since he was a teenager and apparently, the chip worked its way into his DNA. He gets with my mother and boom, I'm conceived with all his powers and the potential for even more." I nodded, taking in what he said.
Trey: "Quick question, dude."
Victor: "Shoot."
Trey: "Are you from the future?" Victor fell down in shock. The others were still watching us.
Logan: "What the fuck? As powerful as this kid is, you'd think he'd be able to stay on his feet."
Ben: "Wonder what made him fall." Charity was silent.
I helped Victor up, laughing.
Trey: "You alright, dude?"
Victor: "How did you know that I was from the future?! I thought I was careful with revealing too much!" I shrugged.
Trey: "The fact that you're bionic gave it away, honestly. Right now, Logan is the only bionic person in existence, but you said that you AND your father are both bionic. So I assume that there are more bionic people in the future." Victor rubbed the back of his neck.
Victor: "Actually, there are only three. Myself, August Tennyson-Green, and my dad."
Trey: "Oh yeah, I know August, Gwen and Kai's future adopted son, I knew he was bionic. But that makes no sense, if there are only the three of you that are bionic, what happens to.." I looked over at Logan.
Victor: "Yeah, that the other thing...Logan is kinda my dad." It was my turn to fall to the ground in shock.
Ben: "Now Trey's falling? What the heck happened?"
Logan: "Maybe the battle tired them both out. What do you think, Chare?" Charity looked surprised, like she knew something.
Charity: "Yeah, maybe." Back with Victor and I, he helped me up.
Trey: "Wait, wait, wait, Logan is your dad?! As in your father?! As in, he created you?!"
Victor: "That is generally what a dad means, yes. Don't ask me how, he always told me that he and mom never intended to fall in love, it just happened."
Trey: "Just happened? Who's your mom, April? Tracy? One of Charity's friends?" He shook his head.
Victor: "I'm trying to remember if you know her, at this point in time. Marian Smith?" I fell to the ground again, but got up quickly.
Trey: "Marian is your mom?!" Victor quickly covered my mouth.
Victor: "Don't be weird about it, okay? And don't mention anything to dad. If he finds out he's supposed to have a kid with Marian, he'll get all awkward and I'll cease to exist." He uncovered my mouth and I nodded.
Trey: "Your secret is safe with me. So, I guess you're my nephew, huh?" He blushed and suddenly hugged me.
Victor: "Oh, uncle Trey, it's awesome to finally see you! I've heard the stories, but never thought I'd ever get to see you in person." I hugged him back, then we let go.
Trey: "What do you mean? I'm sure I'm around all the time, right?" Victor hung his head.
Victor: "Sadly, no. Dad told me that after KD died, you became distant and cold. By the time I was born, you had completely cut everyone off."
Trey: "KD? You're telling me that I abandon everyone because fucking Kevin Durant dies? I don't believe that."
Victor: "I can't reveal too much, but the reason I came back is because I wanted to change that. The superhero life turned you cold, you forgot the joy and sense of wonder that you always had while being Arsenal. Please, Trey, don't forget that." He looked at me, seriously. I nodded.
Trey: "I won't, I promise. I'll always be there for my friends." He hugged me again. After he let go, he stretched.
Victor: "Well, I should probably get back home. Aunt Charity is making curry soup and I can't miss that. Tell Uncle Matt and Ben I said bye." He zoomed off, only to zoom back a few seconds later.
Trey: "What happened, forget your toothpaste?"
Victor: "No...the future, it's all messed up!" My eyes got wide.
Trey: "WHAT?!" He dropped to his knees.
Victor: "My super speed allows me to travel forward and back in time, that's how I got here. I went back home and everything is in ruins, everything! I must have changed something when I came back here."
Trey: "But all you did was fight Spellbinder and talk to me, I doubt any of those things would doom the future." At that moment, Logan, Ben and Charity all ran up to us.
Logan: "Trey, sorry to interrupt whatever this is, but we got trouble." Victor suddenly looked up at him.
Victor: "What kind of trouble?!"
Charity: "It'd be better if we show you." Charity's eyes turned fiery and an image of the news came up.
Vicki Vale: "This is Vicki Vale, on location in downtown Bellwood, where a being with immense power is threatening us all. Here is footage." The screen showed a monster guy with magma colored skin, red and black armor, and camo pants. He looked like...
Trey: "Is that...Apocalypse?" Everyone was silent.
Victor: "No, that's his son." All of our eyes got wide.
Monster guy: "Attention, people of earth, my name is Holocaust and I hail from the future! My father was killed in this time period by your hero and now..." A portal opened up and an entire fucking planet came out of it! "I have come for my revenge."
I looked at Victor.
Trey: "Victor, what have you done?"
To Be Continued...
Oh shit, a two parter? I originally was going to make this episode a normal one, but I have been really busy with my new job, basketball training, my girlfriend etc. and I didn't want to leave you guys hanging. Not a lot of action in this one, but next part will more than make up for it. Until next time!
