I felt bad because this chapter was taking so long so... here's a preview.
Doom Part 2
One man was standing at the top of an office building holding a woman at gunpoint. The man in question was a tall, muscular male with medium-dark skin tone, strong, rugged features, broad shoulders, and square jaw. He also had three pale scars across his face, brown eyes and black long hair pulled back. The man wore a long lapelless dark-blue coat with a red stripe on the edges with black gloves and boots.
A news chopper was recording everything including the face of the man though he cared not so as long as the police complied with his demands and stayed outside the building.
After a few minutes his target had finally arrived in the form of Stinkfly, the hero Ben 10 had appeared he flew towards the police and landed right next to an aged cop. " What's the situation?"
" A hostage crisis." the Cop explained." He said that as long as we stayed out of the building and brought him Ben 10 the lady would get to live."
" He wants me?"
" It's probably a trap."
Stinkfly Scoffed. " Of course it's a trap but that woman's in trouble so it looks like I'll have to play along." With that the Lepidopterran took off and in half a minute he reached the top of the building where the man was holding what seemed to be a laser and pointing it at the back of a young woman's head.
Stinkfly hovered closer to the man just enough so that his voice could reach him.
" Let her go, it's me you want." All four of Stinkfly's eyes focused on the man in front of him and he briefly considered shooting the man with his goo but quickly dismissed the thought for fear that doing so would agitate the man's trigger finger.
" You're right I don't wish this woman dead... not at the moment at least." The man roughly tossed the woman aside sending her to the ground. " Begone from my sight."
The woman promptly ran away from the scene entering the building and presumably made her way into police custody though it would take her awhile to get there.
As soon as she was out of sight Stinkfly fired his goo at the man before him however his adversary had incredible reflexes and using his laser gun had shoot Stinkfly's highly flammable goo the instant Stinkfly had shoot it. The goo exploded sending the ledopterran flying from the blast but Stinkfly quickly righted himself and then dive bombed towards the man in front of him.
Strangely the man seemed calm only pulling out a device that looked like a detonator and pushed down on the button. In a flash of green light Ben had returned to his normal form and fell to the ground skidding thanks to Stinkfly's momentum. Ben got up as quickly as he could but was shot in the chest by a laser.
Ben fell back on the ground groaning in pain his foe slowly walked towards him with the grace of a feline predator and once he reached his prey he lifted his leg and brought it down on Ben's left pectoral where he had been shot.
"Ah!!!"
The villain pointed his gun at Ben's face. " Any last words?"
" Who are you?" Ben asked.
" Who am I? I am known by many names but currently I go by the name Vandal Savage."
" Why?" Ben groaned as the laser gun began to charge up covering his face in a red glow.
" Truthfully I have nothing against you or your colleagues in fact I quite respect the power you wield and the efficiency that all of you have displayed however you're in my way." With that Vandal Savage fired his weapon.
In a fraction of a nanosecond the Omnitrix activated and Ben was transformed into a Genus Lepus. Ben opened his eyes and saw that from his perspective the laser blast was almost frozen in time taking advantage of this Ben freed himself from Vandal Savage at the same time sweeping the villains feet out from under him.
Ben created some distance between himself and his foe to get a better hold of his current situation. He had transformed into a new alien he was now a humanoid hare with pale blue fur and buck-teeth. He had two long and floppy ears, and a zig-zag tail that resembled a lightning-bolt he also wore a green and black jumpsuit that covered most of his body, leaving his hands, feet, and upper arms bare.
" Whoah I got a new guy, what should I call this one?"
Vandal Savage had gotten back up and was now preparing to activate his detonator again. Ben ran his ears and tail lengthened as he did so in a flash he had sped past Vandal and had taken the detonator.
" I got it! I'll call this one Buck Wild!" The Genus Lepus proclaimed as he crushed the device in his hands.
Vandal Savage reached towards his communicator and simply said. "Mission failed."
Before Buck Wild could blitz him Vandal Savage was teleported away to an unknown location.
Buck Wild growled at the fact that Vandal Savage had gotten away from him but then set his sights on the news chopper that had been filming the entire encounter. Knowing his luck they had gotten a good shot of his face what was he supposed to do now that his secret identity had been revealed, would anyone associated with him be in danger? Would he have to fortify his apartment? So many thoughts ran through his head as he jumped of the building and began running back to his home. Once he entered his apartment he transformed back into a human and began panting from exertion Buck Wild seemed to require a lot of energy from him which was rare among his transformations Only Atomix and Clockwork could leave him so exhausted with so little action.
Ben couldn't rest though he needed to figure out his next move maybe Grey Matter could find a way to stop the news station from spreading the information about his secret identity? No that wouldn't work thanks to the internet information spreads way to fast for that to work. As Ben kept trying to find a solution to his problem Batman began to call his Omnitrix.
" Ben? Ben!? BEN!?"
" Hey Bats I'm a little." Ben said tiredly.
" What happened?" The dark knight demanded.
" There was this guy he was holding a woman hostage, he didn't kill her but he somehow deactivated my Omnitrix for a few seconds and almost killed me, luckily the Omnitrix's failsafe kicked in and saved me. I managed to destroy the device but the guy got away from me and even worse people took pictures of me when my Omnitrix was shut off." Ben explained tiredly. Truthfully Ben wanted the conversation to be over so he could focus on trying to preserve his secret identity though Ben had a feeling that was lost cause.
(Watchtower)
J'onn was in the control room of the Watchtower investigating into who could have possibly giving the Royal flush gang such advanced technology, so far he hadn't been able to make much sense of the situation... not unless some advanced civilization was arming the criminals of Earth to weaken it from within but that didn't make sense. The technology was unlike any other in the milky way galaxy not to say that it was more advanced but it was unique and to top to all off the materials were all things that could be found on Earth, which meant that this tech was human made.
That still left the question on who would have access to this type tech and what they stood to gain by handing it out to the Royal flush gang. A field test?
"Batman to Justice League!" J'onn heard the voice of Batman call him through his com.
" Everyone listen to me, the Justice League is under extreme danger but if you listen to me we might just survive this!" Batman explained.
" You don't say." The Flash said sarcastically. " Look If I vibrate fast enough I might be able to-"
" Don't! It won't work you have to trust me!" Batman yelled knowing full well that Flash wouldn't be able to outrun the explosion.
"You got a better idea."
" Slightly. How far are you from an iceberg?"
"Heh. I'm never far from anything." Flash bragged though J'onn could tell Flash was trying to keep his spirits up. " You sure it will work."
"Maybe?" Batman responded.
" Maybe!? That's the best you got?" Came the voice of Ben 10.
" It's alright Ben at least this way If it fails I'll be the only one who dies." Flash tried to reassure his young friend.
" Ben I need you to transform into Jetray get to Star labs and have them fashion a kryptonite scalpel after that go to Superman and prepare for surgery." Batman ordered.
" I think I have someone a lot faster than Jetray." Ben said before everyone on the comm heard the signature flash that usually comes with Ben's transformations.
" J'onn, Diana currently has a cluster of nanobots attached to her brain stem causing her to have hallucinations. Grab an EMP from our weapons vault that should the destroy them." Batman explained.
" On it." J'onn phased through the floor and began flying down to the weapons vault.
"Good luck everyone."
