Chapter 1: A New Threat
Far away from the Milky way galaxy, space ship is seen in a rather stationary position amongst the stars. The spaceship in question is quite large, with most of its main color scheme being black and ash. It sported thirteen Tachyon engines, which could reach light speeds in an instant.
This ship is crewed by thousands of cyborg like life-forms, each assigned to a specific post of the ship. The outer shell is outfitted with a class 1 hyperdrive, a titanium-reinforced hull, over 5,000 turbo laser and ion cannon batteries and concussion missile tubes. A bridge deflector shield was also included as a layer of defense. Vessels of the ship also had at least one hangar bay and several escape pods.
The name of the ship is the Harbinger of Death. It is 295 meters wide and contained shield generators and numerous rooms,mainly briefing rooms. (For those who are still lost on the description of the ship, it's basically the Executor-class Star Dreadnought in terms of design, but with a different color scheme and slightly wider)
However there is one room that far outweighs the others in terms of importance simply because of the individual who was residing there. The room in question was saturated with an overall red color scheme as was a result of the lights chosen to illuminate it. Despite the numbers screens and technological interfaces and devices around the room,that was not the thing that would draw your attention immediately.
Rather,it was a seat befitting of a King in his throneroom which was occupied by an individual. The individual in question was cloaked, concealing nearly his entire appearance except his arms and legs. Despite this, the overall silhouette of the mysterious individual is enough to picture him as being quite muscular in physique.
His arms, though mostly yellow in color,thus confirming his overall skin tone to be yellow, had rather distinct differences from each other. For instance,his right arm is made up of mostly charred flesh while his left arm, though completely normal,is far more muscular than that of even an Olympian level athlete.
His footwear consists of black boots fitted with technology that allows him to levitate and fly. The individual's posture conveyed a feeling of boredom,as he curled his right hand into a fist,and placed it hand under his chin, leaning his head to the right while doing so.
His left hand was placed on the left arm of his chair as he began to tap it's surface with no particular pattern at all.
This goes on for quite sometime until a opaque green, holographic screen appears in front of him, which immediately piques his interest. Once he looks at it, he notices the screen split in four different sections, with each section showing a planet distinct from the last.
The first planet,placed at the upper left section of the screen is round in shape, and very similar to the Earth in general, only it is somewhat smaller and the overall color is red.
The second planet, placed at the upper right section of the screen, was diamond in shape and the overall color was a desaturated green.
The third planet,placed at the bottom left of the screen is round in shape, somewhat larger than Earth, and it's overall color is a dark gold color.
The fourth planet, placed at the bottom right of the screen is once again round in shape, the same size as Earth, but most of the general planet surface is a dark lime green color while the center is a bright color.
The display then changes to a split screen with five sections and with five other unique planets different from the ones shown previously.
The fifth planet, placed at the upper left side of the screen, is once again round in shape, but much bigger than the Earth, and the overall color is a bright vegetable green.
The sixth planet, placed at the upper right side of the screen,is once again round in shape, and much bigger than Earth, with the overall color being a bright orange, almost similar to that of the Earth's sun.
The seventh planet, placed slightly below the fifth and sixth as it is on the middle of the screen's display, is once again round in shape, much bigger than Earth, and with an overall color of dark gold and bright purple.
The eight planet,placed on the bottom left,is round in shape,is the exact size and appearance as Earth but with a twist. It's cracked and split open almost like an egg, revealing a bright purple energy core. That and it's outer shells, although bearing a similarity to Earth, mostly consists of a dark purple color scheme.
The ninth planet, placed on the bottom right, is round in shape, smaller than the Earth and with a dark brown and green color.
The screen would change once more, displaying only a single planet; Earth
"Master,we have found suitable planets adequate enough to carry on with our goal. Shall we proceed?" Asked a being that is a cross between a humanoid and a robot.
Inside the room were several others with the same appearance enter. The individual addressed as the cyborg's master slightly shifts his posture as he makes a low but cynical chuckle, indicating that he is smirking. Slightly shifting his head downwards,a bright red light is seen escaping from his hood, indicating that it is most likely from his right eye.
"Let the games begin"
Planet: Earth
Location : Bellwood
The season of Summer had come.
And with it, the intensity of the rays of the afternoon sun was even more significant, but that didn't deter the citizens of Bellwood.
At every corner, at every turn, life radiated across the city; Whether it be vehicles of all sorts driving by, citizens walking down sidewalks, children playing parks, the elderly sitting in public benches,a group of friends at their favorite food-stand, girls at malls debating on what clothes they'd want to get, Teens enjoying their time at the beach, just to name a few. Felt amongst all the citizens was a sense of harmony in whatever they were doing.
Unfortunately,it wouldn't last,as before anyone could make out what was going on, the wind blew with such force that trees were sent flying. The once blue sky started to become dark, with clouds covering the sun. Thunder could be heard across the city.
To make matters worse, all forms of technology stopped working completely, including cars, which would in turn, cause a large traffic jam on all roads,thus making it impossible to cross.
The citizens would begin to panic. But just as they tried to make sense of what was happening, surfaces from buildings to phone screens,to even the earth and sky all had a face projected onto it. The face belonging to none other than the cloaked individual from before.
"Greetings, humans,it is a pleasure to finally meet you. I trust I have your undivided attention now, correct? Excellent!. " Said the individual who seemed to brimming with excitement. True to his words, No one could ignore the cloaked figure,as his holographic projection was broadcasted all over the world.
"I imagine you're all wondering who I am, where I am from, and why I'm here before you now?. I shall spare you the trouble by telling you that the first two questions are not important. But as to why I'm here, oh ho ho, I can tell you for certain that it is beyond anything of which you have ever seen before ." Said the individual with excitement similar to a child being offered a gift
"Earth, along with nine other planets, has been granted the honor to participate in a tournament greater than anything the universe has ever seen before. You would be well advised to select your best combatants to represent you. No less than 12 and no more than 21. The terms are simple, win and establish yourself not just as your planet's greatest champion but as it's savior as well. Fail and your planet shall be destroyed." Loud gasps escaped the lips of many across the globe, with fear making itself into their hearts. The only thing that didn't cause all of them to collectively give into those fears was doubt. Doubt specifically held towards the individual, as some believed him to be bluffing.
"It seems that some of you doubt my words. No matter, for I shall clear any misconceptions." As he said this, the holographic projections plastered across the world for everyone to see changed to that of a planet green in color.
Immediately after, it changes to footage of what seems the planets inhabitants; aliens humanoid in nature with notable animal features, and a green skin to match. The footage changes again to the individual's ship charging up a massive canon. A bright, red blast is shot from the canon straight to the planet that was shown. Upon impact, the planet is destroyed.
"I am afraid that I must now take my leave. We shall meet again in a weeks time,as I am confident that that is enough time for you all to gather your best champions to compete. Until we meet again." Said the individual with a lack of remorse.
Witnessing the destruction of an entire race, and with the possibility of that fate being their own, the people of Earth were terrified. Deafening screams became commonplace all across the globe, much to the host's amusement,as he began to laugh maniacally as many ran for their lives, before his holographic projections would eventually dissappear.
...FO10W...
A small Tv was on, and it's contents were as follows; a yellow background and words in black which says 'News-3'. The footage then changes to a man who wore glasses along with a black suit and tie. He had short, brown hair that greyed at the temples, and sported a square chin and had a red tie with a breast pocket on his suit with a blue handkerchief.
"Welcome back Ladies and Gentlemen. This is Will Harangue of the Harangue nation. Today's top story to no one's surprise, is about the appearance of what seems to be an alien tyrant, who wishes to hold the Earth hostage in order to participate in a glorified and uncivilized fighting tournament with other planets across the galaxy. As you can tell, the world is in chaos,as this is the first time in five years that a threat of such scale has emerged"
The Tv is then revealed to be in a room where the overall background is a cream color with a wardrobe filled with several action figures and comics of what seems to be sumo wrestlers, and some rather mysterious objects that don't seem to be of Earthly origin. The sound of clothes being hastily pushed aside can be heard from another wardrobe.
"This has led to a widespread criminal outbreak across the globe that is yet to be contained. The severity of this outbreak is yet to be properly disclosed, but even though they are no reported casualties, the injured seem to be piling up in the hundreds."
A male individual is seen to be wearing what seems to be black and white sneakers alongside blue jeans and a black shirt. After coming to a halt with his search through his clothes,he brings out a green jacket with a horizontal white stripe and a number '10' in a black circle while the number itself is white in color.
"Local authorities are already at work trying to contain the situation at hand. The general consensus is for everyone to please stay safely seated inside their homes until the danger passes. It is an unfortunate string of events, indeed. One that I am quite confident that you all are aware that the only person capable of attracting trouble to the fine people of Earth on such a scale is none other than the self proclaimed 'Hero of Heroes' when in actuality, he's nothing more than a menace; Ben Tennyson".
The individual upon donning the jacket looks at the Tv with a smirk on his face. With this his full appearance is finally revealed.
He has combed brown hair, caucasian skin and green eyes. Stretching out his left arm,he pushes back the sleeve with his right arm, revealing a rather unique watch in terms of overall design. It resembles a digital wristwatch, but with a white, green and black color scheme.
It's faceplate is square,and has two green stripes forming an outline for a hourglass symbol. He stretches out his right hand right above the watch and closes all his fingers except his index finger and middle finger (For those who are wondering which one, it's your second and third finger respectively). He places the outstretched fingers on the faceplate which reveals a green, holographic wheel with icons of various beings who's overall anatomy just from their appearance can be described as "Alien".
He spins his two fingers across the wheel counter-clock wise, (For those are wondering, just draw a circle with any finger from your left hand and start from the left) scrolling through numerous alien icons until his fingers stops at one with an appearance similar to a Manta Ray. He taps the icon of the alien,thus making the holographic wheel to disappear. The faceplate of the watch opens from both sides revealing a green core with the same hourglass symbol on its surface, only its mostly green with slight traces of black.
"It's Hero Time!". Shouted the young man before slamming his right hand down on the core, causing a blinding green light to cover him.
The light would die down quickly, and standing in place of the boy is an alien creature.
It's appearance is red, humanoid in nature, alongside that of a manta ray-like alien with green eyes, black outlines on his face, yellow horns extending from his nose, gills underneath his arms, yellow patagia, and two black lightning bolt-like stripes coming down from his shoulders to the symbol of the boys watch on his chest.
"Jetray!" The now transformed young man shouted, taking to the air before flying through an opened window in his room. Upon exiting the room, he flies upwards, several feet into the air at supersonic speeds. In less than a few seconds, the transformed young man had successfully left the Earth's atmosphere and was now in outer space.
Looking at the sun and moon respectively as they were now within range of his line of sight, Jetray was about to continue his upward flight before a beeping was heard from the symbol on his chest. The beeping then changed into the voice of a man.
"Ben, this is Grandpa Max." Said the voice, revealing himself to be Max and the young man's name to be Ben.
"Grandpa, it's nice of you to call but I'm a little busy. I was just about to..."
"I know Ben." Interrupted Max
"And that's exactly why I called, to tell you not to go in alone. We don't know who this is,or what he's capable of." Cautioned Max.
"Psycho big bad that's holding Earth and several other planets hostage, threatening to blow them up if we don't do what he says. I'd say we know enough." Said Jetray smugly.
"All the more reason not to go in guns blazing. It's been five years since we've faced a direct threat to more than just Earth, and even then, we've never faced one like this. We need to form a plan of attack." Reprimanded Max.
"I've already got a plan of attack. Fly up to the big bad, tell him to cease and desist on his tournament and turn himself in. If he resists,I kick his butt, which I'm really hoping that it comes to that. Either way, he's going down." Interrupted Jetray,this time who began to fly upward but at a much slower speed than the one he used to leave the Earth's atmosphere.
"That's not a plan,Ben. Just because you have Master control doesn't mean you should get cocky. You never know what your enemies may have in store for you." Warned Max.
"Come on Grandpa, everyone I've taken on since I got master control's never stood a chance. They never did then, and they definitely don't now. So don't worry and just leave this to me." Said Jetray arrogantly.
"There's no stopping you once you've set your mind on something." Said Max with a sigh.
"All right, Ben, I'll trust you to take care of things. Just don't let your guard down. Max out" Advised Max before severing the comm link, leaving Ben's Omnitrix at a normal green light.
"You've got it Grandpa Max. I'll get this done in no time at all." Said Ben mostly to himself. He then proceeds to enter supersonic speeds of flight.
Inside the Harbinger of Death
In the room that occupies the Master of the cyborgs that man the ship, the individual in question is seen placing both hands on a holographic screen, looking through details of certain alien individuals. From a female with red skin,four arms and four eyes,to a being that looks like a ghost of a child's nightmares,to a female that is a humanoid frog.
"Master. It seems that our transmissions to all the ten planets you have chosen to participate in the tournament have thrown them into disarray. Thus meaning that outcome of his attempts to stop us from going through the tournament..."
"Is already in motion." Said the master rather slyly. As he said this, his holographic display changed its contents, showing Jetray maneuvering past asteroid's, and the one's he couldn't maneuver, he would use his green, neuro-shock blasts from his eyes and tail to destroy them.
"What is his ETA?" Asked the master.
"1.5 seconds" Just as the robot said this, a large boom was heard due to the sound barrier being broken,drawing the attention of all the individuals on the ship to what was in front of them, which was none other than Jetray.
"Seems like you've been expecting me. Good. I was afraid I'd have to start making some noise in order to get your attention." Said Jetray in a rather smug tone. Almost immediately after he said this, a holographic projection of the cloaked individual, showing only his head was in front of Jetray
"How could I not prepare myself for a visit from the great 'Ben 10"Began the host in a sarcastically.
"Protector of Earth, Savior of the universe, Victor over Vil..."
"Save the flattery,pal." Interrupted Jetray.
"You already know why I'm here. Cancel this little tournament of yours, turn yourself in, and I promise not to rough you up... much." Jetray said the last word with a smirk. The master would audibly sigh as a result.
"A predictable response. Do you as wish. Though note that I will not surrender myself to you so easily." Said the master with sass that was not lost on Jetray.
'He sounds pretty confident. Can already tell this is going to fun.' Thought Jetray with a grin.
"Was hoping you'd say that. Time to show you what I do best." Said Jetray with an obvious hint of excitement. Suddenly a blinding green light surrounded the Aerophibian. Once the light died,in his place was a phantom/ghost-like alien with a gaseous appearance and claw-like hands, and grey skin with black lines running all over also had on green chains all over his front side which lead to his neck, waist, and center/chest, giving him the appearance of being contained in a straitjacket, but with his arms out freely. Alongside spikes on his elbows, and two cuffs on each of his arms,the Omnitrix symbol is located at the center of his chains.
"GhostFreak!" Shouted the Ectonurite. Without wasting time, GhostFreak suddenly made himself invisible as he flew towards the ship, hoping to phase through it. Once he reached the ship's surface,an orange streak of electricity enveloped around the Ectonurite, causing him to scream in pain as he became visible again.
'His ship has defenses for aliens that phase through surfaces. Should have seen that coming' Thought GhostFreak with mild annoyance.
"When you said you would show me what you do best,did you mean leaving yourself frustrated at your own efforts?" Mocked the master.
"Not bad, but let's see how you deal with this." Once again, the blinding green light enveloped the transformed young man. In his place was now a slightly muscular humanoid blob with a black exterior with green stripes that resemble circuitry all over him. The green circle on his head is his eye,on the ring of that eye was the Omnitrix symbol.
"Upgrade!" Shouted the Galvanic Mechamorph as he stood on top of the ship. He proceeded to dissolve his body into a blob like shape that was gradually covering the ships surface. Yellow electricity would course through all the parts of the ship that Upgrade had already melded with, only with more intense, causing him to scream in pain before reforming to his original shape.
"Another failed attempt,Ben Tennyson I expected more from you." Mocked the master, causing Upgrade to make a low growl in response. Suddenly, across all the surfaces of the ship, large machine guns and laser canons would pop up, taking aim at Upgrade.
"Uh-oh" Said Upgrade rather worriedly. The armed weapons fired at their target, ranging from charged, laser blasts to rapid fire, laser blasts. These attacks would cause Upgrade to loose his shape and become a flat blob across the ships surface. Upgrade would try to reform his shape, but would end up being returned to a blob,as the attacks continued to pelt him.
'So much for that idea . This guy's definitely more prepared than I gave him credit for. But let's see just how prepared.' Thought Upgrade deviously.
Another blinding green light enveloped the transformed young man, and once it died down, on the ships surface stood a humanoid being with an appearance similar to the classic depiction of Boris Karloff's version of Victor Frankenstein's monster.
He has a muscular body with a human nose,short black hair in a mullet with sideburns, and a pair of bolts on each side of his neck that are green in the crease. He wears metal gloves with his fingers showing and metal pants with lines on them with glowing green triangle dashes in the also has two tower-shaped conductor coil-like generators on his skin has several uneven seams, combining grayish-yellow with darker grey. He also has large pink scars across his chest and right arm.,along with more bolts, one on each shoulder and elbow.
The bolts are bronze and resemble flathead screws. His belt is green with white stripes and bolts in them, one of these bolts being a buckle. His turrets are green with screws on them, and the coils are white and feature green bulbs at the tips. His pants are a greenish-black color, and his "boots" are copper with three green slits in them.
The Omnitrix symbol is embedded in the flesh of his right pectoral, with several deep scars protruding from where it resides.
"FrankenStrike!" Shouted the Transylian, as he slammed his right fist into the surface of the ship he was standing on, causing vast amounts of green electricity to travel across it's surface. Upon making contact with the weapons,they would lose power,thus instantly disarming them. FrankenStrike then proceeded to stretch out his arms, before clenching them into fists. Green electricity would begin to surge through them before he took numerous blasts at the now disarmed turrets, destroying them.
"Come on, is that the best you've got? Cause I'm just getting started." Taunted FrankenStrike ,as he destroyed most of the turrets.
"As am I Ben Tennyson. I made sure to get as much data as possible on you before our fated encounter. I knew you would eventually use your Transylian form or another one of your forms that could survive in the vast vacuums of space and possibly lay waste to my ships defenses if I didn't take the necessary precautions. That is why..." Said the master deliberately cutting himself off. The turrets that hadn't been destroyed yet began to regain power, and the ones that were destroyed began to repair themselves.
"I went through the trouble of making sure I got my hands on the best technology the universe had to offer. As you already know, that also includes Galvan technology." Said the master in a condescending tone, shocking FrankenStrike.
"How did you get your hands on Galvan tech? You working with Albedo?" Asked a confused FrankenStrike.
"As yes, the former assistant of the creator of your Omnitrix, Azmuth, and a thorn in your side for the past six years. Though his services would definitely have been more professional,I decided to get in contact with someone with a much more personal connection to you than Albedo. Though he prides himself on his abilities outside of any collaboration and his methods are crude,I couldn't ask for a better ally. After all,he is one of Azmuth's greatest failures." FrankenStrike's eyes widened upon hearing those words.
'No it can't be...' FrankenStrike thought to himself,as the image of a certain, red, Galvanic Mechamorph came to my mind.
"Oh, but it is." Said the master said those words, the turrets fired at their target, this time with enough power to blast him off the ships surface. Before FrankenStrike could use his electro magnetic abilities to bring himself back down to the ships surface, he was blasted with more and more energy blasts that further distanced him from the ship, making it nearly impossible for his electromagnetism to bring him back down even if the turrets ceased their fire.
'If he's telling the truth about the ship's defenses,then no matter what I do, not only will the turrets keep repairing themselves. Didn't think It would come to this, but it seems like I've got no choice. It's time to go big or go home.' Thought FrankenStrike..
The familiar blinding green light of the Omnitrix enveloped Frankenstrike. As it died down a large,overarching shadow covered the entire surface of the ship. With the light fully gone,in the place of FrankenStrike was a, gigantic white colossal humanoid creature with a large fin on his head, which is black at the front and red at the bottom.
He has blade-like growths on his shoulders and spikes on his waist. He also has red arms with two black lines and white fins on the elbows, wristband-like outgrowths on his wrists and green eyes on his head with two extra eyes which are metallic protruding on his cheeks, one on has red feet with two toes, a black sandal-like covering on the middle of his feet and three black lines on the side of his neck.
He also has two red lines on his neck, along with black fingerless gloves. The Omnitrix symbol is placed on his chest.
"WayBig!". Shouted the To'Kustar shouted before crossing his arms into an X-shape, which suddenly began to charge a bright green light before it shot off as a large laser. Unknown to WayBig, the master was smirking as the blast came to his ship, almost like he was expecting it. As the blast nearly made contact with his ship,a opaque blue dome covered the entirety of the ship, and was proving to be durable enough to withstand WayBig's cosmic blast, which obviously surprised him as he ceased his attacks.
"Good thing I got these shields installed. They're durable enough to survive a few attacks from a To'Kustar, especially their 'cosmic blasts." Said the master.
"A few huh? Let's put that to the test" Said Waybig,whom immediately crossed his arms again, charging up his cosmic blast, before releasing at the ship. Once again, the blast made contact with the dome, but that didn't deter Waybig,as he kept putting more into the attack. As he was doing this, visible cracks began to form around the body of the dome.
"Just a little longer." Said Waybig, encouraging himself to continue with the assault. Unknown to him, the top section of the ship had opened, revealing a lazer that was arched upwards,aimed towards the big finn on WayBig's head. After fully charging it's shot, the laser cannon fired a long and straight laser blast towards WayBig's finn. As it got close to the dome from the inside, the dome disappeared, causing the ship to take damage. But before WayBig could fully render the ship immobile, the laser blast made contact with his finn, making red electricity to course through his body.
"Ahhh!" Shouted WayBig,who was now paralyzed and unable to move due to the attack.
"A To'Kustar is easily one of the most powerful beings across the entire universe. It's quite a shame that they have such an obvious weakness." Taunted the master. The ship gradually began to self repair itself, and the lazer canon that was to render WayBig unable to move was once again charging up another attack, but this time,it was black and not red.
Meanwhile, the now restored turrets began to take aim at WayBig before firing at him. Before the attacks could hit him, the blinding green light enveloped WayBig, and once it disappeared, floating in his place was a humanoid robot.
In terms of appearance, he has a green and white body with large cylinders on his arms near his wrists, that are full of green energy with dark green bubble-like spheres, which constantly move. He has the same energy on his Omnitrix-shaped chest. His head is a pointed, armored helmet. He is also mouthless. The Omnitrix symbol on his green and white belt.
"Atomix!" Shouted the Prypiatosioan-A. As he stretches his hands above his head, small green particles begin to float above Atomix.
"HA-ME-NA-HA-ME-NA" Chanted Atomix. As he is doing this, the turrets, after properly adjusting their aim to accommodate a new target, begin firing at Atomix. They are unable to make a direct hit to Atomix as a round, green shield takes the blast,although this causes it to begin to crack.
"HA-ME-NA-HA-ME-NA, HA-ME-NA-HA-ME-NA" Chanted Atomix, causing the particles to change shape into a large, green mist, and even then,it eventually changed shape into a large, green ball of nuclear energy. The ball is so big in size that it's shadow was cast on nearly the entirety of the ship.
'I've put everything I've got into this. I just hope this works' Thought Atomix.
"Massive Nuclear Winner!". Shouted Atomix, dropping his hand down, thus launching the attack. Before the attack can make contact with the ship, the changed up laser canon shoots at the nuclear blast, and upon making contact,a the attack is being sucked into...
"A Black Hole!" Shouted Atomix in shock as the black hole manages to suck in the blast completely, causing it to explode. The wind pressure from the explosion would be powerful enough to push Atomix slightly backwards. Even after regaining his composure, Atomix finds himself being sucked into the black hole as well.
'Oh no. I used up so much energy making that attack that I can't outfly the black hole. And even if I could, it'd still remain, and suck in that ship as well. I can't let that happen. I have to stop this villain,. even if i have to go that far...' Thought Atomix.
As he was nearly sucked into the black hole at this point, the bright, green light enveloped Atomix, and once it died down, The black hole was gone. What was there however, twas a humanoid alien whose entire body is solid black, excluding his hands, which are white. He has tiny white star-like spots all over his body, giving him the appearance of a starry night sky. His eyes are green and lack pupils, and his forehead bears three horn-like protrusions.
"Alien X!" Shouted the Celestapien.
"This ends Now!". Shouted Alien X, whose voice was the combination of three distinct voices; one being Ben's human voice, the other being the hard, brazen of a male and the soft,soothing voice of a female. Alien X would then stretch out his right palm towards the ship.
"I couldn't agree more.I am well aware that your Celestapien transformation is easily your most powerful,as it grants you the power of a God, meaning that I don't stand a chance at succeeding in any way. Which is why I made sure to have some insurance." Said the master, which caused Alien X to drop his hand.
A holographic screen showing the Earth changes its display to a desert land, and then changes again to a large, diamond like machine planted on the ground of said desert.
"This device you see in front of you is a doomsday bomb powerful enough to destroy any planet it goes off on in an instant. I made sure to have this placed not just on Earth, but on every planet that is involved with this tournament. The detonator for all of them is in my hand." The display changed back to the master inside his ship showing his right hand outstretched and his thumb lightly tapping a red button that is on the surface of a small, dome like object.
"If you were to try to use your powers to destroy the detonator instantaneously, you would fail as I would still be able to destroy all the planets that have them before then. And even if you were to use your ability to time travel in order to destroy the detonator before I could press it, the bombs would still go off,as they have been programmed to go off even after the detonator is destroyed.
You may succeed in stopping the bomb on your planet from going off completely, but I know you won't be able to do the same for the others as you don't even know which planet's exactly are involved in this tournament. And even if you were to ignore that and the bombs still went off, you have the power to restore everything that would destroyed, all the lives that would be lost. So truly you can beat me, here and now, despite the stakes." Said the master.
"But I know you Tennyson,I know that your sense of morality is so pitiful that even when granted the power of a God, to shape reality anyway you see it, you choose not to, and to what end; An underlying sense of nobility? Pathetic
"You believe that it is not your place or anyone else's to alter reality as they see fit, that it is not their place to change the natural balance of things to fulfill their goals, not even yours. How laughable indeed. Alas,I suppose I cannot criticize you too much,as I already know what your choice is."
"It seems that you know us better than we thought. Very well,we shall play by your rules. But know this,we will come out as the victors in the end, and we will save all the planets that are involved. Be prepared until then, and bring no harm to any of them." Said Alien X with authority after being previously silent.
"You have my word. I look forward to your performance...Ben Tennyson". Said the master with a sinister tone. Without saying a word, Alien X teleported away.
In a room with a predominantly green background,a hourglass symbol is plastered across the walls. The room is filled to the brim with devices out of this world. Alongside the devices are individuals both human and alien in nature all wearing a white and black armored suit created for battle.
The person that stands out the most among them is an elderly man with grey hair,a semi muscular build,a Red Hawaiian shirt with rose petals in the same color but lighter and white cargo pants. The man in question is none other than Grandpa Max, and the group of people around him are the Plumbers.
A sound is heard, causing Max to turn behind him and look at the object of interest which has also drawn the attention of the Plumbers present. The object of interest was Alien X,whom was covered in a bright green light. As the light faded out, standing in his was Ben,now back in human form. His eyes, which bore a serious expression in them, were narrowed with his grandfather's.
"I couldn't stop the tournament from happening. We have to go through with it, and we have to win no matter what." Said Ben with conviction.
Thank you for reading.
Until next time, please, have yourselves a good one.
