Dan 10 Reboot S2 Ep 8: The Nature of things
Intro:
A green glowing, steel pod was flying through space, hurtling towards earth as it crashes, making a huge green flash.
The camera zooms out from the glowing symbol on the Ultimatrix as Dan looks up close at it.
He then activates it while smirking at the camera, raising his hand high and slapping it down on the core.
The background turns all green as Dan morphed into Ultimate Four Arms, who pumps his upper fists while cracking his middle ones and slamming his lower pair against each other with fire burst coming off them a smirk.
A white number appears on the left side, starting at 1.
"Dan 10!"
2: Ultimate Heatblast ignites a fire ball in 1 hand while is other morphs into a magma cannon with lava drooling out of it..
"Dan 10."
3: Ultimate XLR8 zooms into the right and speeds off in a blink, leaving behind green lightning.
4: Ultimate Diamondhead swaps his right arm across as it turns into a laser blade while 3 floating crystals hovers near him.
"DAN 10!"
5: Ultimate Cannonbolt uncurls and poses.
"Dan 10!"
"Dan 10."
6: A shadow figure shows with a question mark on it
7: Ultimate Grey Matter hovers up and forms his combat body, giving 2 thumbs up as his middle eye glows.
"DAN 10!"
8: Ultimate Water Hazard lands by his jetpack and pinches his claws.
"Dan 10."
9: Ultimate Wildvine chucks out his seed bombs as fly traps extend out of his back and snaps at the camera.
10: Ultimate Big Chill phases through the number, freezing it in a instant and zooms near the camera.
"DAN 10!"
U. Big Chill's head turns back into Dan's as it rotates.
The camera zooms out to reveal Max and Kate by his side.
Dan gave a a fistbump to both of them.
The 2 then ran off-screen, making Dan run towards the camera with a look determination.
He then froze as the series logo appeared above along with his alien, 5 on each side.
"WOOOOO-OOOOHHH!" Ultimate Heatblast exclaims in joy as he ride a fireball/surfboard down long tunnel with a stream of water. He leaps over some falls and activates his wings above a lake of water. "Man! That was epic! I wonder why nobody ever thought about this kind of ride?" But as the wing's flames starts heating the water, a rumbling is insured as U. Heatblast gazes around, only to widened in realization. "Wait! This isn't a pool! It's a—" FWOOOOOM
"Wow! Nature is always fascinating!" Kate breaths out as she and Max were observing some bubbling mud pits with some geysers behind them. The Tennysons were stopping at a nature park as both Granddaughter and Grandfather were on a walkway. Kate keep drawing on her sketch pad as Max explains. "Yep! That's acid and microorganism breaking down in a natural pace!" "You know, I can't believe Dan is missing this." BOOOOM "AAAHHHHHHHHH!" FLASH SPLAT
"Never mind. I know where he is." Kate deadpans along with Max as they have mud on them. Dan tries to pull himself out of the mud pit. "This… mud… is …. Slowing down…. My awesomeness." Dan got out and shakes off the mud. "That was awesome! Nature is pretty fun and loving it." "Well, maybe you love doing laundry as well, Doofus! You can't fool with nature, Dan!"
Dan smirks as he waves it off. "But it was so cool! I was Ultimate Heatblast, fire surfing down this long tunnel! Then I got blinded by some bats before rocketing above a pool! Only it was a geyser! And Ultimate Heat flames plus geyser equals tons of fun!" "Dan. You need to learn to observe it for what is." Dan got annoyed as he gazes at his gauntlet. "Wait… I'm getting something! BEEP-BEEP-BEEP My nerd detector went off! Congratulations, Kate! You're a nerd." "All I'm just saying is that this place is over a Supervolcano! If you keep messing with nature, bad stuff is going to happen!"
The boy hero was not worried at all. "Oh, come on! What's wrong with having a little fun?" Dan notices his Grandfather on his phone. "See? Even Grandpa think nature is boring." "Uhh? Oh, no! I wasn't thinking that! I was just looking up information." "About what?" Kate questions as Max shows him his phone with a newspaper article about what looks like a giant, spirit horse with a rainbow mane, wings and a horn.
"Well, I was just looking up old newspaper articles of Canterlot City." "'Canterlot City'? Is that an amusement park?" Max smiles. "No. It's the name of the city you'll be staying in. See, back in the 1800's, A traveler named Starswirl the Bearded, who was an intelligent scholar and astrologist from England, founded it. After helping others settled in, the small town grew and grew over the years. He named it after his ancestors' home of Camelot and for his beloved horse, who helped him found the town in the 1st place."
"WOW! That sounds amazing!" "That sounds lame." Both kids had opposite responses. "Well, history is important! Anyway, I've been checking out these articles about—" RUMBLE Suddenly, a big rumble caught the family's attention. "What was that?" "Simple! Mother nature is still upset at you!" A geyser shot up near them, startling the kids as more steam geysers keep popping out.
"Okay! But if I made this…." FLASH "I can fix this!" Diamondhead spoke out as he runs forward slamming his hands on the ground and created a crystal covering that spread and covered the holes up. "See?" The alien grins as he turns back. "Problem sol—" BOOM "Uh-oh!" The crystal alien got to work, trying to cover more holes as the problem keeps getting worst. "DAN! Stop! Let nature do its thing!"
But Max frowns as he dials in his portable radio. "I'm not sure that's nature doing anything. I'm not picking up any tremor warnings or any signs of danger from the ranger stations." Kate got suspicious as she scan the area with her binoculars. As she gazes, she saw a crow flying away, sporting a monocle and top hat. "Wait a sec… That bird has been fancied up for some reason. That's Arsto-crow!" "And where's there Aristo-crow, there's Steam Smythe!" More geysers interrupt them! "Really?!" The alien got sheepish as he taps his finger together. "Uh… my bad?" They quickly runs away as more geysers blown open.
"Okay! Kate and I will head back to the Rust Bucket while Dan…" "Already on it! Steam Smythe is mine!"
Kate and Max made into the RV as they got to work, analyzing some graphs and a machine. "Hmm… According to this, these activities are in rhythm, not random like a normal Earthquake." Kate deduces as Max adds in. "Meaning that these Tremors are systematic and regular!" "Clearly not nature's forces at work." "Indeed. Look at this monitor. Something is building up pressure underground. Like something is blocking the geyser when's suppose to be open." Kate gasp in shock and worriment. "Something like that can set off the super volcano and wipe out part of the country! We got to tell Dan!"
They both rushed out! "Hopefully Dan's at the geyser!" "INCOMING!" They quickly got out of the way as Diamondhead crashed behind him, groaning in pain. "What happened?" BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH "That happened..." Just then, a giant shadow engulf them, making them gaze up at a giant humanoid machine with no head, large arms and tank treads for legs. "Well, what do we have here? A Whole nest of Tennysons!" Steam Smythe declares. "My Steam Smasher shell get rid of 3 birds with one stone!"
The big machine was about to crush them, but Max was quickly and shoves him and his grandkids to the side, barely dodging the fist. Dan recovers and pleas to the Ultimatrix. "Come on! Time back in! Time back in!" BEEP "YES!" The boy grins out "HEY! STEAM BREATH!" "What?! You dodged! I hate it when he dodges." Steam Smythe grumbles.
The boy grins as twists the dial to Four Arms' icon. "I've been wanting to punch you ever since you backhanded me earlier!" FLASH
Dan briefly transforms into Four Arms and grins, only to be surprised by the same evolution wave happening! His skin start becoming even tougher and changing color as the Ultimatrix moved to his chest. His fangs became longer as his black strip became hair with a mohawk and 2 small horns. He starts growing as his muscles became bigger as small grey spikes appear on them as another set of arms burst out under his 2nd set while growing another chest line. His leg became muscled to as new clothes appear on him as his gloves changed while his fingers became clawed with spikes on his knuckles.
Max and Kate were surprised by Four Arms' new look! He is now 16-foot tall and really burly and muscular. His skin has deepened into a crimson color while small, sharp sliver spikes are on his shoulders and biceps. His eyes are the same as his fangs became sharper while his black strip turns into a goatee with hair and his top one became a black mohawk with 2 medium sharp horns on each side of the hair. He now has four straps in an x-shape that goes to his Ultimatrix that is colored green and white. His pants are still black and now has a green and white belt, green knee pads and ankle braces while his feet are covered and the sharp, toe-coverings are white. He still has black fingerless gloves, but now sports green forearm bands as his finger became clawed and knuckle-spiked. But the biggest feature is now he has 3 sets of strong arms!
"ULTIMATE FOUR ARMS!" He bellows out as Steam groans in dismay. "Oh no! Not this thing again!" Steam groans out, but neithertheless, attacked again! Only for the Ultimate alien to grabs the fist with little effort. The other one tires as well, but caught it as well! He then uses his 3rd pare of arms to knock the other fist away as he roars out, digging in his strength and tears the arm off. "NOT AGAIN!" Steam Smythe didn't have time to register as the arm was used like a club, knocking him away into mud pits and getting him stuck. "I'll finish things up with Steam Smythe!" "Right! And we'll stop whatever he's doing! Come on, Grandpa!" Kate cries as they both head off in one direction. U. Four Arms charges at the Steam Smasher.
"No matter! Even with one arm, I can still best you! And as we speak, My Smythinator is almost operational any second! And I will be unstoppable!" "Oh, yeah?! Well, my team is on! Leaving you with me!" U. Four Arms grabs onto a hand and holds on! "Let go! You simple—" KAAAAWWWW! Suddenly, Astro-crow shows up and specks Steam Smythe! "GAAH! Get away, Astro-crow! What are you doing!?" He accidentally pulls a lever, making the machine spins around fast as the alien hero holds on. "THIS IS ALMOST AS GOOD AS ADRENALAND! WHOOOO-OOOH!" "Get away you buffoon of a bird!" Smythe knocks the bird away as he gains control "You and your new-fangled, Gauntlet will not stop me today!" The machine raises the arm as U. Four Arms holds on. But… a geyser erupts from somewhere, making a huge fountain of water erupts as Smythe notices. "GAAAH! My Smythinator!" "Yeah! Now it's the Smasher's turn!"
U. Four Arms lands on the head and smashes on the control a few times, destroying them. "My Steam Smasher…" Smythe groans out as he was grabbed by his shirt. "There's scrap, once more, Steamy! And one last thing…" He rushes to the top and leaps up, holding up 2 of his fists and smashed it straight down on the robot, breaking it to bits and parts as the evolved alien leaps away onto a pile of rocks, overlooking his victory.
"Seriously?! I was just trying to free the world of it's modern shackles! Beginning a glorious new Steam-filled era! And you lots ruined it all!" Astro-crow lands on the alien's shoulder. "News flash: You're plan would have backfired! That machine you made was going to set off the Super Volcano underneath us and totally blow up the country!" "Really? There's a super volcano under us?" "Yeah! You know, for a genius, you sure don't think things through, do ya?" The dinosaur grins as Smythe crosses his arms and looks away. "Oh, quiet!"
The police took Smythe away as the Tennysons got together. "Well, glad that Natural disaster is over." "You know, bro. You might have messed with nature, but Steam Smythe was on another level!" "Yeah! I guess Nature is helpful after all!" "And I got to admit, Ultimate Four Arms having an extra set of arms is pretty cool." "YEAH! Think of all the awesomeness I can do now!" The grins out as he poses, only to time out as he groans in dismay. Astro-crow cries as he lands on Kate's head. "What do we do about Astro-crow, now that he's no longer with Smythe?" "Don't worry! I know what to do with him." Max smirks out.
At the same shelter with Caddobit, the same girl got another package with air holes. "Now, what do we have here?" She opens it up as Astro-crow flies out, circles around and lands on her shoulder, nuzzling the teen as she giggles. "Oh! Hello, you adorable little crow!" Astro-crow purrs as he is liking his new home.
