* = Ben 10 : Alternate Dimension = *
Some of you may have seen Ben 10, the guy with a watch called the Omnitrix that can transform him into aliens. But there are also other versions of him from different dimensions. Ben 23, Benzarro, Nega Ben, Mad Ben and the like. This story is basically the same, only in this version Ben's main color is blue. (No gold though, that's for Ben 23.) And he also has a blue Omnitrix. What's so different about this Ben you ask? Well, all of you will find out throughout this story. For now, enjoy.
[==-Episode 1: Where It All Began-==]
We are now in the beginning of this Ben's tale. However, unlike the original this Ben had black hair and black eyes. And right now, he was playing games in the computer.
"HAAAYAAAH! OH YEAH! TAKE THAT! AND THIS! AND THAT!"
The game was an action game, he liked action. It was cool.
"HAYAAH! EAT THIS! HAYAAH!"
"BEN! KAIN NA!"
"Oo sige!"
If all of you were wondering about some of those words, they were part of a language called Tagalog. This version of Ben was a Filipino, hence the black hair and eyes. He made his way into the kitchen where lunch was already there.
The food was fried chicken and rice, Ben's favorite. About the rice part... -rice was the staple food of the Philippines, this Ben's own country. Which is why he ate rice with practically all his meals.
Sitting on the chair, Ben started to eat. The food was good as always. and he continued to eat. Pretty soon, his mom joined in too.
[Some Time Later...]
After Ben and his mom were finally done eating, Ben stood up and left the kitchen to get back to what he was playing.
[Meanwhile... somewhere in outer space...]
*PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-*
*-BOOM! SMASH! -CRASH!*
If you didn't know what weapons and explosions were, then you'd most probably be asking what the hell were those. Well, I'll tell you. Somewhere in outer space there were 2 spaceships battling each other. One looked like a circular stingray with very BIG AND WIDE wings, while the other looked like an open hair dryer with some sort of energy.
*Creepy and disgusting noises*
If you're wondering what that was lemme tell ya. It came from a disgusting humanoid squid creature hybrid inside the ship that looked like an open hair dryer. And it's name... was Vilgax.
*More creepy and disgusting noises*
*Lasers activating and shooting!*
*-BOOM!*
Vilgax is a humanoid creature with a head that looked like an octopus, the tentacles looked like a beard. He had red armor on his head, shoulders, arms, hands, thighs and feet. His skin was disgustingly gray, and he had 4 spikes on each side of his head that looked like it was from some farm animal.
Now, Vilgax was a bad guy. And he did a lot of bad things in his time as a villain. But today, he wanted to take them ONE STEP FURTHER. And he could only do that... -if he got his grubby hands on a particular device. This device... was the Omnitrix.
The Omnitrix is a watch-like device that can turn the user into 10 different transformations, it was blue and had a light blue symbol on the top of it. And right now... -VILGAX WANTED IT!
*Laser activating and shooting*
*-BOOM! -CRASH!*
Vilgax just sent a laser towards the other ship's way, which had a couple of ALIENS in it! But there's one alien in particular that I'd like to mention. His name was Azmuth, a small alien called a galvan. -AND the creator of the OMNITRIX. Aside from being small, he had qualities that were more similar to a frog, had gray skin and blue eyes that had vertical eyelids. Galvans have the potential to be SUPER SMART, hence why Azmuth could create the Omnitrix. But they were also one of the SMALLEST beings in the universe, so they were at a size and strength disadvantage when it comes from a battle viewpoint. However, using your head can sometimes save your head.
Anyway, Vilgax is chasing Azmuth and his friends across outer space because he wants to get the Omnitrix. So that he could use it for EVIL. But Azmuth is a good alien, and wouldn't let anyone use his inventions for evil. So he and his friends tried to escape from Vilgax as much as they could, but Vilgax was persistent and tough.
*-CRRRRAAAKKK! -KZZZT-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTT!*
*-BOOM!*
*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW!- -CRRAAK-KZZZTTTTTTTTTTT!*
*-K-RASH-BOOM!*
The fighting got EVEN MORE INTENSE as time went on, Azmuth and his friends tried to fight back with all their might. But Vilgax was too tough, and they were WEAKENING. Realizing that Vilgax would most probably catch him and his friends and get the Omnitrix, Azmuth desperately tried to look for an alternative solution. But there was nothing... nothing but darkness and stars anyway. With no other solution left in mind, Azmuth decided to try to go faster than Vilgax or hide then put the Omnitrix in some sort of container then blast it into another planet.
But where? He couldn't just blast it into ANY planet or it might end up in the WRONG HANDS anyway. So Azmuth tried to look for a planet that the Omnitrix would most probably be the safest in.
He had to hurry though, or Vilgax would OBLITERATE him and his friends first and GET THE OMNITRIX!
*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-*
*-BOOM!*
*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-KZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!*
*-BOOM!*
Now Azmuth REALLY had to hurry. Luckily, he was starting to see planets as he went along. And these planets may be familiar to you all. Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus and so on. But the one planet that caught his attention was...
-EARTH.
Now Earth, as we all know it... is a habitable planet. It could support life like plants, animals and especially humans. There was oxygen all around and humans were it's main inhabitants. Though not the safest planet to hide the Omnitrix in Azmuth's mind, he REALLY didn't have much of a choice. Some of the inhabitants of the other planets could be HOSTILE! And letting those kinds of inhabitants get the Omnitrix would spell TERRIBLE TROUBLE. Besides, of all the species in those planets humans were the LEAST hostile. Sure some of them were wackadoos, but at least it's not like every one of them had something like a big laser blaster or a high-tech weapon or something like that. So Azmuth finally decided to just blast the Omnitrix on Earth.
Azmuth REALLY DIDN'T want to do this... but he had NO CHOICE. He put the Omnitrix inside a container and started typing stuff on his keyboard.
*Alien sounds*
One of Azmuth's friends asked him what he was doing. -In alien language of course. All of Azmuth's friends were confused with what Azmuth was doing. Then, (-in alien language of course-) Azmuth said that he couldn't handle this anymore and that he can't come up with any other solution so he's sending the Omnitrix to Earth. When the other aliens asked Azmuth why Earth, Azmuth replied saying that compared to the inhabitants of other planets Earth's was the least prone to be hostile. So he finished typing away on his keyboard then pressed something. After that...
*-CHHK-CHHK! -FWISSHHHHHH... -Beep beep! -FWWWWOOOOOSSSHHHHHHHHH!*
And just like that, the Omnitrix was sent to Earth. Azmuth could only hope that it'd stay hidden or not fall into the wrong hands. But even if he hoped so, there was nothing he could do aside from watch one of his greatest inventions plummet towards Earth.
[And now... back to Ben]
Ben is currently enjoying himself, he was walking along nature. He decided to go a little bit far from his home and explore stuff or something. He walked around, looked at some stuff, went through hidden places and sometimes watched small animals do their thing. It was nice and relaxing. Speaking of relaxing, after Ben did all the stuff he did in wherever he was in he decided to go sit on a tree stump and rest. After that, he thought to himself. He thought about how AWESOME it'd be for his dream in becoming a hero come true. -But not just ANY kind of hero... -A SUPERHERO! If Ben had powers or at least a weapon or something, he'd use it to fight evil and save people and the world. Sadly, he didn't have anything. He hoped that one day, he'd get the chance of being a superhero. Little did he know... that chance was gonna come WAY SOONER than he thought.
When Ben was done resting, he got up and continued walking and doing the same stuff he did before again. But... unknown to him... he WASN'T the ONLY one exploring Earth...
Meanwhile just outside of the Earth's atmosphere, the pod containing the Omnitrix was PLUMMETING TOWARDS EARTH! And because it was going so fast the container CAUGHT FIRE. It continued to plummet towards Earth for a few moments... -before it finally got IN IT along with the Omnitrix...
Soon, the fire that the container caught was slowly starting to become visible in the sky! At first it started out as a small speck of light, but it gradually got BIGGER AND BIGGER until the container looked like a SHOOTING STAR!
While Ben was walking along, he noticed the container hurtling in the sky. "-WH-WH-WH-WH-WH-WH-WHAT?! -B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but it's daytime! -HOW CAN THERE BE A SHOOTING STAR IN THE DAYTIME?!" Ben said. Then, with the feeling that he needed to warn as much people as he could Ben started to run! But SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENED. The container TURNED as if it was a spaceship and was now heading in the direction where BEN WAS! When Ben turned around, he was instantly met with the container coming NEARER AND NEARER TOWARDS HIM FAST. He tried to run faster, but the container HIT THE GROUND WITH A BIG BANG AND SENT BEN FLYING!
*-FWOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH!- -BANG!*
"-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Ben ended up FLYING TOWARDS A TREE where he HIT HIS BACK HARD! Smoke was EVERYWHERE, and he couldn't see anything. Ben clutched his back in pain, after a few moments the smoke cleared. Ben looked up and thought "-So... -the Earth's not destroyed?! Well, at least this is a place with little to no people sometimes. Just hope no one got hurt. Alright, time to check out what that was!". And so he did check out the thing that caused the explosion a.k.a. the pod containing the Omnitrix, but the smoke was still a bit thick so he had to wait for a bit for it to clear. And when it did, it revealed that there was a crater on where the Omnitrix pod landed. -A VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY BIG CRATER. Carefully and cautiously, Ben walked towards the crater where he found... the Omnitrix pod.
The pod was made of some sort of steel that was a bit shiny, it was gray and sort of looked like Cannonbolt. A transformation. Ben looked at the pod and said "-WWWWWOOOOOOOAAAAHHHHHHHH! -WHAT'S THAT?! -WAIT IS THAT... -A BOMB?!". The pod answered Ben's question by opening itself to reveal the Omnitrix hidden inside. The Omnitrix's symbol then glowed blue. "-Wait... -is that... -A TIMER?!" Ben yelled, he waited for a while to see if it was. But after a few moments of the Omnitrix symbol not changing and no countdown, he had to admit it wasn't a bomb. But if it wasn't a bomb... -then what is it?
Upon closer inspection, Ben discovered that the timer WASN'T a timer at all. But in fact a... WATCH?! "Wait... -what's a WATCH doing in this thing?! Did all these stuff come from OUTER SPACE?! Do aliens have watches or did someone in NASA or some astronauts made a mistake?!" he said. "Uuuuhhh... I wonder if I should tell anyone about this or if I should just take it. Well, I'll take it." Ben continued as he started to reach for the Omnitrix. But as he did this...
*-OMNITRIX SOUNDS-*
"-WAAH!-"
It JUMPED AND ATTACHED ITSELF TO BEN'S WRIST! "-WHOO-OOAAHHH!" Ben suddenly yelled in shock! This version of Ben has finally got his Omnitrix. Now the only thing left for him to do is to discover how to use it. Ben tapped the Omnitrix a few times to see if anything would happen, -nothing. Then he looked at the Omnitrix for a bit and the circular part on top of it caught his attention. "Hmmm... I wonder if I can turn this thing..." Ben thought as he twisted the dial. But still nothing happened. "Can this thing do anything?! Can it even tell time? Is it even a watch?!" Ben thought as he fiddled with the Omnitrix more, trying to get it to do something. Then, Ben noticed the 4 small blue circular things around the Omnitrix's dial. "Hey, I wonder if those do something." thought Ben as he pressed one of them. Immediately, the dial of the Omnitrix POPPED UP! Revealing that the smaller tube under the dial had marks like Upgrade, but blue. The symbol of the Omnitrix then changed into a diamond shape and displayed a transformation icon. "-WHOA! COOL!" Ben said in amazement, "I wonder if something will happen if I turn this thing while it's like this..." he added in his thoughts as he twisted the dial. Sure enough, something happened. The Omnitrix showed the icon of another transformation. "-AWESOME!" Ben said as he kept on turning the dial. "I wonder how many of these things this thing's got?" Ben thought again as he kept on turning the dial revealing more icons of transformations. In the end he found a total of 10 icons in the Omnitrix, he had a lot in his arsenal. This Ben's Omnitrix was different from the original. It was colored blue, had a Ben 10 Alien Force styled stripe colored in white and it's symbol was blue instead of green. Most of the aliens in this Ben's Omnitrix were the same in the original Ben's original Omnitrix, however Humungousaur wasn't part of the original Ben's aliens. But he is part of the reboot Ben's. What was peculiar about the Omnitrix of the Ben in our story is that it had the Ben 10 Alien Force styled Humungousaur even though reboot Ben's looked different. But I suppose it's not too much of a problem as Humungousaur is a strong alien.
Humungousaur WASN'T the only thing that was weird in our Ben's Omnitrix, there was another particular transformation that stood out a bit from the rest. From the looks of the transformation's icon, it seemed to be some sort of slime creature. Was this Upgrade? Or Goop? No. But more information will be revealed about this mystery transformation soon.
The 10 icons that Ben found in the Omnitrix were Wildmutt, Fourarms, Grey Matter, Water Hazard, Wildvine, Cannonbolt, Bowl Weevil (This Ben's version of Ball Weevil), Astrodactyl, the unknown alien and Humungousaur. A bit of a different selection. Anyway, after seeing all the icons Ben turned the Omnitrix's dial to Wildmutt. He liked how Wildmutt looked as an icon, and wondered what would happen if he pressed the Omnitrix now. -Only one way to find out.
Ben pressed the dial of the Omnitrix, -then...
*-OMNITRIX TRANSFORMATION SOUNDS!-*
-Immediately, blue light ENGULFED Ben's WHOLE BODY! But shortly after, something WEIRDER happened! Light blue FUR started to cover Ben's body, it went to his head and covered his eyes too! More fur went across Ben's arms while they grew longer and bigger, CLAWS also started to appear! Finally, a tail was formed. Then...
*-FOOT STOMP- -WILDMUTT ROARING SOUNDS!-*
Finally, the transformation completed. Ben was now what was basically a big dog, but with no eyes, ears and had a weird look. There was something on Ben- -or should I say Wildmutt's left shoulder. It was the placement of the Omnitrix on Wildmutt. Different aliens had different Omnitrix placements depending on the kind of body they have.
*Wildmutt grunting sounds*
Ben was confused, he knew he turned into Wildmutt but didn't know why he was seeing everything slightly pixelated. Before we continue the story, I'll compare how our Wildmutt and original Wildmutt sees. Original Wildmutt can see things in dark green and red. Everything that original Wildmutt sees isn't fully detailed and looks more like colored shadows. Our Wildmutt can see things like a human. He can also see the full detail of things instead of what's essentially colored shadows. However, even though our Wildmutt's sense of sight is better there's one thing that makes his sight different from a human's. Everything looks slightly pixelated from our Wildmutt's point of view. So some small things may be hard to see.
*More Wildmutt grunting sounds*
Ben looked at himself, he had fur all across his body and claws on his hands. Then he looked back to see a tail was there, it was similar to something like a lion's.
Even though Ben could see, he still felt weird. And not because he was Wildmutt right now, but because he felt like there was something off about his sight apart from everything being pixelated. So he touched his face, -and found out that.. -he had NO EYES. "...-if I got no eyes... then... how can I see?!" Ben thought as he tried to figure that question out. Ben thought of every possible reason for how he could see, maybe it's a special ability? -Or even magic? He didn't know, so he continued to think for a while.
After a bit of time, Ben noticed a feeling that was in him since he turned into Wildmutt. He felt like the answer as to why he could see was coming from... -the side of his neck?! So he went to put a hand- -er- -paw over his neck, but when he did... -he saw it! That must mean that whatever Wildmutt used to see was on the side of his neck. Question was, -what? So he tried to feel what was on his neck. When he did, he felt... 3 openings?! As Ben countinued to feel around more, he soon discovered that whatever Wildmutt used to see felt like... -GILLS?! Well, he wasn't really surprised. As the watch was never normal to begin with anyway. Then, Ben thought of what other things he could do as Wildmutt. So he tried talking, but all that came out was a bunch of animalistic whines. Not surprising since Wildmutt was essentially an animal. Ben tried to talk or even do so much as form words, but no matter what he did they all came out as animalistic whines. "...oookkkk... so Wildmutt can't talk... but he can do other things right?" he thought. Ben tried to roar.
*Whiny Wildmutt roar sounds*
Wildmutt can roar, but his roar is DIFFERENT. And Ben was trying to roar like a lion or something...
*More whiny Wildmutt roar sounds*
He kept on roaring, trying to find out what kind out roar Wildmutt used and wondering if he had any at all. Occasional whines came out as Ben kept on roaring.
*Varying whiny Wildmutt sounds* *-WILDMUTT ROAR!*
At last Ben finally found out what Wildmutt's roar was like, but he was a bit confused. Shouldn't his roar be MORE scarier?! In all fairness though, Wildmutt ISN'T a lion or anything like that. Still, Ben kept on roaring a few more time just to make sure that this was Wildmutt's normal roar.
*Varying Wildmutt noises!-* *-WILDMUTT ROAR!-*
And with that, Ben managed to confirm what kind of roar Wildmutt has. A bit weird, but I already said that Wildmutt isn't a big cat. Maybe when Ben gets older and turns into Wildmutt he'll have a roar? Ben didn't know, but what he does know is that he's gotta see if Wildmutt can do anything else.
Ben wondered if Wildmutt had an echo roar or something like that. So he roared loudly hoping something would happen. Nothing. He tried a few more times. Nothing.
Wildmutt DIDN'T have an echo roar. So next, Ben wanted to test how strong Wildmutt is. So he tried punching a tree.
*WHAP!* *Whining Wildmutt noises!*
As it turns out, Wildmutt wasn't strong. What about the claws? Ben tried clawing at the tree.
*SLASH!*
3 deep claw marks were left on the trunk, it turns out Wildmutt's strength is his claws. Then, using those claws Ben climbed a tree. So Wildmutt can climb. Ben wondered if there was anything else this transformation could do, so he did all sorts of things like trying to throw a fireball, or trying to shoot ice and other things.
[Back in outer space...]
Just a heads up, these aliens are speaking their native languages and are using translators to understand each other. I'll just translate it to English so all of you can understand.
"-RRRAAARRRGGHHHH! -WHERE IS THE OMNITRIX?!"
That's what a certain baddie said in his ship. "Master, we have tried to find it. But we couldn't." replied one of his lackeys. Vilgax was angry, the Omnitrix had been blasted into Earth and he didn't know. "Master, look. There are planets over there. Azmuth might have sent it into one of them." another lackey chimed in. Then the lackey added "However, some of our equipment have been destroyed during the battle. Including the ones necessary to locate it.". "I will send a drone on every planet over there to check if the Omnitrix is in one of them. Then, once the Omnitrix is located we will retrieve it from the planet it possibly ended up in." said Vilgax. "Find the Omnitrix in every planet in range." he said as the drones flew over to the nearby planets one by one. -And about Azmuth and his friends... -I don't know what happened to them. But let's hope they're still alive... -somewhere...
[Now back to Ben...]
*-WILDMUTT ROAR!* *-CAW-CAW-CAW-CAW-CAW-CAW-CAW-CAW-CAW-* *Wildmutt styled laughing*
Ben used his roar to scare away some birds, and he got a good laugh out of it. Now it was time to do a bunch of other fun stuff. However, the fun was soon gonna be over. As Ben didn't realize that one of Vilgax's drones were scouring in the skies.
Speaking of Vilgax's drones, it hasn't found the Omnitrix... -yet. It looked everywhere to see people, trees, cars, buildings and other stuff. But no Omnitrix. So it kept on searching. Eventually, it did find the Omnitrix. -And Ben...
Ben was standing still, he was thinking to himself on what else he could do in his current form. His question will be answered soon once the drone starts ATTACKING HIM. The drone saw the Omnitrix in "Wildmutt" form, and that someone was using it. Once it did...
*Mechanical sounds-* *-LASER BLAST!* *BOOM!* *-WILDMUTT ROAR!-*
The drone FIRED at Ben and sent him FLYING ACROSS. Ben hit his back on a rock HARD. He whimpered in pain before dropping down and clutching himself. This was strange as he should've been in MORE pain. Then again, he was Wildmutt right now. So he probably had some sort of endurance. Right when Ben looked up to see where those laser blasts came from, MORE rained down on him forcing him to run! The drone chased after him with lasers still firing! Ben tried to see if he could turn into another transformation, but as it turns out... -he COULDN'T! "-SO YOU MEAN I CAN'T TURN INTO ANYTHING ELSE WHILE I'M LIKE THIS?! -WHAT IF I NEEDED IT?!" he thought. So Ben fiddled with the Omnitrix more to see if there was anything he should do first before being able to change, but he got nothing. "...-what if I have to turn back to normal first BEFORE turning into something else?" Ben continued in his mind, so he tried to do just that. But nothing still happened. Realizing that turning into something else WASN'T possible Ben kept on running.
Lasers were STILL raining down on him as he tried to escape, no matter how hard he ran the drone was faster. Rocks would occasionally be seen on the places where Ben ran, he'd throw them at the drone if he had time. -In which he didn't. After a bit more running he saw a place filled with tall grass, he could use that place to lose the drone and come up with a plan to shake it off his back. So he darted in there and made a break for it! Ben thought he'd lost the drone, but he didn't realize that it had some sort of x-ray vision! So the drone used it to detect Ben running in sort of a zigzag way to shake off the drone. "Did I lose it? I hope so, that thing was PERSISTENT!" Ben thought, but more lasers answered his question. "Nope." Ben added in his mind and kept running.
*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-*
Ben kept on running, he darted past trees, jumped over bushes and puddles, climbed some big rocks and ended up in somewhere covered with trees and other plants. Then, he kept alert and looked around to make sure the drone wasn't following him anymore. Frequently moving so that the drone wouldn't get him if it ever fired a laser. Ben waited for a while and got ready just in case the drone did catch up with him, but after a while of nothing happening he finally confirmed that he lost the drone. But he still kept on high alert, looked around and moved around frequently just in case. All the while thinking of a plan.
(In Ben's mind): "Hmmm... maybe I should try and take this thing on by surprise... -well that's not gonna do me much good since that thing can SHOOT LASERS. Or how about THROWING stuff at it like rocks? Nah, what if I run out of rocks and don't have anything else to throw? Hmmm... -OH WAIT! -I KNOW! I'LL TRAP THIS THING THEN I'LL TAKE IT ON BY SURPRISE AND SMASH IT INTO SOMETHING LIKE A BIG ROCK!"
Now having a plan in mind Ben decided it was time to look for the drone, he didn't really want to look for the drone and just wanted to take it out straight. But that thing had LASERS and he couldn't even SHOOT anything. So he went with the plan.
Ben kept an eye out for the drone. -Er, gill. He roamed around, constantly checking his back as he did so. He looked in bushes and rocks, climbed up trees and checked the sky. Nothing. Did he really lose the drone? If so, then it was time to find it. There are people and other living things that could be in danger from that drone.
Meanwhile, the drone was looking for the Omnitrix again. Ben escaped from it so it had to resume it's search. But it's search would soon be over. Somewhere in tall grass Ben was hiding, he was holding a small rock in his paw. And he was waiting for the perfect time to throw the rock so that he could get the drone's attention and lead it into some sort of trap. The drone was occasionally turning around, making sure to check for the Omnitrix. Once it turned it's sight away from where Ben was hiding, Ben threw the rock at the drone and ran to a nearby medium sized rock.
*-PEW! BOOM!*
The drone sent a laser in the direction to where Ben was, luckily Ben wasn't hit. Then he showed up at the drone and made a break for it as fast as he could!
*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-*
Ben ran in a zigzaggy motion in order to throw the drone off it's game a bit and for it to have less chance of shooting him. He went through a bush hoping the drone would follow him there and get stuck, but the drone just flew. Then Ben decided to pick up rocks that appeared along the way, this time he managed to pick up a few and pelted them at the drone. But it didn't help much as the drone was made of tough metal. More lasers were shot at Ben as he kept on avoiding them, occasionally jumping.
Ben had been running for quite some time now, he was getting deeper and deeper into more natural places. Which meant more trees, plants, animals, rocks and stuff like that. He grabbed more rocks along the way to throw them at the drone, and of course it didn't really help. No matter how fast Ben ran, he couldn't seem to shake the drone off his back! -It was HARD! And he was getting kinda tired. Realizing that his plan might not work, Ben tried to come up with an alternative solution.
(In Ben's mind): "-OH MAN! I've been runnin' for a LONG time now and this drone can STILL keep up with me! Well, it IS a robot. Surely it's gotta run outta battery soon?! -Alright, I just gotta come up with a plan. But what... hmmm... plants? No. Rocks? No, they didn't help me much. Trees? That thing will blast through them and end up following me anyway! Hmmm... -THINKTHINKTHINKTHINKTHINKTHINK- -OOOH I GOT IT! I'm gonna try and lose this thing then when it dosen't know where I am I'll TACKLE IT BY SURPRISE AND SMASH IT ONTO SOME BIG ROCK WALL OR SOMETHIN'!"
The plan was a bit risky, but it was the only thing Ben could think of right now. So he ran faster, "Gotta find somewhere where there's lots of trees and bushes and stuff like that!" he thought. But more trouble was waiting ahead, Ben didn't know that he was heading to a rocky place that had a VERY BIG GAP seperating it and where he was! It'd take someone who could JUMP SO FAR to cross that gap and unfortunately... -Wildmutt WASN'T the best for that job... Luckily, there were smaller pieces of rocky land for Ben to jump on like platforms in a video game. If he could jump far enough, then he might be able to cross the gap.
*Running sounds* *Whining sound!*
Ben finally came across the gap, it looked too big for him to jump over in a single attempt. But then he saw the smaller pieces of land, he knew what to do. Ben looked back for a bit to see if the drone had caught up with him, nothing. But he needed to hurry or he'd get blasted! So he crouched down for a bit to gain a boost for when he was gonna jump. He readied himself for a bit and then...
*Jumping sound* *Landing sound*
Ben made it across, now he figured out that Wildmutt had a knack for this kind of stuff. And he continued to jump on the smaller lands as fast as he could. Shortly after Ben started jumping from land to land, the drone started blasting at him! Destroying the smaller lands in the process after Ben stepped on them. Ben found himself being forced to jump faster and faster! He held out for a while, but soon the jumping became too fast for him. If he kept this up, he'd accidentally slip or WORSE... -MISS A JUMP AND FALL. He tried to think of something, but he got nothing at the moment. So he just had to keep jumping until either something came up or something saved him. He really wished the other side would come soon.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
The annoying drone was still blasting stuff, Ben just kept on jumping. He was doing well... -until he came across a piece of land that was TOO FAR for him to jump to! Immediately after he saw it, he whined in shock. How was he supposed to get through THAT?! Then, he thought fast. He looked at the drone, then saw a big branch hanging on the side of the land he wanted to get to. So he quickly made a plan, he was going to use the drone like a floating platform to get to the branch so that he could use the branch to climb up the piece of land. Being quick on his paws, he jumped on the drone then jumped again immediately after. He was able to jump far enough to be able to grab hold of the branch and use it to climb the piece of land it was in.
The drone was slightly deterred, before it managed to set it's sights on Ben again and fire. Ben whimpered before jumping from land to land again. Now this was REALLY getting annoying. He was forced to run and couldn't do much of anything at the moment, but he carried on. Aside from jumping from land to land, he also climbed rock wedges, crossed through "rock bridges", avoid plants that were in the way and dodge the lasers.
*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-* *Wildmutt roaring sounds*
"-I RRRRREEEEEAALLLLYYYY WISH THERE WAS A PLACE THAT I COULD LOSE THIS HUNK O' JUNK RIGHT NOW! -ALL I'M SEEING IS BARE ROCKY LAND AND A FEW STUFF HERE AND THERE!" Ben thought as he jumped to dodge a blast that almost hit him. Then, rocks appeared on the path ahead. So Ben grabbed those rocks along the way and threw them at the drone. This time, there were much more rocks than before. So he was able to deter and slow down the drone a bit. But those rocks were small they did little to no damage.
*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-* *WHAM! BAM! BANG! WHAM! BANG!*
The path ahead was getting rockier and rougher, this made it a bit harder for Ben to maintain his speed as the ground wasn't flat. Right after seeing this, Ben saw a medium sized gap. This wasn't a problem as he could jump over it, so he did. But then, he saw MORE afterwards. Ben realized that the path ahead was gonna have LOTS of things he should avoid like big rocks and plants in the way. He jumped over a big rock, and used the following big rocks as stepping stones to reach higher ground.
But MORE TROUBLE lay ahead! While he was running, he came across... -a pit filled with trees?! He looked at the pit for a bit and realized that it was DEEP. And that he DIDN'T wanna fall in it. Then he looked at the trees, and that was all he needed to do to come up with a plan. Ben would use the trees to his advantage by swinging on them one by one like a monkey to cross the pit.
*Jumping sound* *Gripping and clawing sounds* *Slight struggling growl sound*
Now Ben was like a chimpanzee, swinging from tree to tree. He gripped on each one tight and fast before moving to the next. I guess you could call him the next Tarzan. Sometimes he used branches to his advantage as well if the trees weren't near enough. But he had to be careful or else-
*-RIIIPPP!* *Wildmutt roar!* *Gripping and clawing noises!* *Struggling roar!-*
...He could grab a LEAF by accident, accidentally rip it and ALMOST FALL. "-OHMYGODTHATWASCLOSE!" Ben thought as he got a better and stronger grip on the tree then jumped to the next.
*Sounds of Wildmutt jumping from tree to tree* *-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-*
Ben could still hear the drone, but the sounds of the laser blasts were getting softer and softer. So that meant he was finally losing it, he just hoped he could find a place to hide and prepare his surprise attack once he did though.
*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-pew-pew-pew-pew...-*
A few minutes more of running, and Ben could finally see the end of the pit. Once he did, he held on and jumped his way through the last of the trees before finally landing on rocky ground. Immediately after, Ben looked around for somewhere to hide. Luckily, he found tall grass and bushes covering a higher part of the land. But he would have to get up there before the drone found him. So Ben immediately went for that place.
*-CHHK-CHHK! FRUSSHHHH!*
Not long after, the DRONE showed up. It lost Ben again and was now looking for him. It checked the areas near it to see any sign of Ben. But Ben was already secretly making his way towards the hiding spot.
Meanwhile, Ben used rocks, rock ledges, trees and branches to get to his hiding spot. Goes to show how smart he is. Anyway, once he got up to the top he looked for the drone. And there he saw it in the distance in his direction! It was looking everywhere for him, Ben decided to wait for the drone to turn it's back before he used his surprise attack.
The drone looked everywhere, and it was heading nearer and nearer to where Ben was. But that didn't matter, because the nearer the better. And it meant Ben's surprise attack would be stronger since he wouldn't have to use too much energy in jumping. Now all Ben had to do was to strike at the right time.
*Drone sounds* *Slight Wildmutt growling sounds...* *Drone sounds...* *More slight Wildmutt growling sounds...* *More drone sounds...* *-JUMPING NOISE!-* *-DRONE TURNING BACK!-*
Ben struck at the right moment! Once the drone turned it's back he INSTANTLY JUMPED towards it all the while roaring!
*-LOUD WILDMUTT ROARING NOISES!-*
The drone turned back but Ben jumped too fast for it to anticipate what was coming to it! And so it got TACKLED FULL FORCE by Ben who held it with a STRONG GRIP. Ben was about to SMASH the drone into a big rock wall he found! When he was nearing the wall... -he gave a BIG ROAR! -Then...
*-LOUD WILDMUTT ROARING!-* *-CRASH!*
The drone hit the rock wall WITH SUPER GREAT FORCE! Ben whined a bit as he experienced a bit of pain from the crash. But that wasn't too big of a deal as he had the drone to shield him from the impact. Ben and the drone ended up falling from quite a height, Ben whined as he braced himself to crash on the ground. While he was falling, he saw the drone. It was smashed beyond recognition and was losing light and emitting sparks. An idea formed in his mind. He grabbed the drone and used it as a shield to protect himself from the crash he was gonna have from the fall, but he also grabbed the drone so that he could smash it to the ground and damage it more or possibly even destroy it beyond repair. One moment Ben was in the air, the next...
*-CRASH!*
He landed with a CRASH! The impact from the fall caused him to roll towards the side and end up lying down. He let out a groan in pain as he gave himself a moment to recover.
*Wildmutt grunting and breathing noises*
Ben then got up and shook his head to get himself together, then he checked to see what happened to the drone. When he looked to his right all he could see was smoke. Ben went through the smoke and fanned it away, by the time it cleared he saw that the drone was crushed even more and SPLIT IN HALF! Then, he smiled knowing that he won and proceeded to beat up the drone some more just in case.
*-WHAM! -WHAM! -BAM! -BANG! -BAM! -WHAM!* *-LOUD WILDMUTT ROARING!*
After that, Ben gave out a great roar of victory. Then he roared some more to show that he won. "-OH YEAH! -I WON! -I'M AWESOME!" Ben thought. "So it looks like whatever I turned into isn't really that strong. But it can climb and cross through things like that pit back there. This guy ain't so bad after all! But I'm gonna need to turn into something stronger next time. Now how do I turn back to normal-" he continued to think. But before he could do anything...
*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-* *WILDMUTT ROARING!-*
-He was ASSAULTED by... -MORE DRONES?! "-OH MAN! -SERIOUSLY?!" Ben growled in animalistic language and made a break for it! But when he started to run, he saw SOMETHING ELSE in the sky! There were BIGGER versions of the drone he destroyed earlier! They looked a bit different too. They were a darker shade of red and had more parts jutting out of them. And they started to attack him as soon as they saw him!
*-LASER BLASTS!-* *-LOUD EXPLOSIONS!* *Wildmutt groaning sounds!*
"-WHAT THE HELL?! -WHERE'D ALL THOSE DRONES COME FROM?! -AND WHY ARE THERE SO MANY?! -OHMANOHMANOHMANOHMANOHMAN-" Ben thought running as fast as his paws would take him! He tried picking up a pebble he found and throwing it at one of the drones, but since he was a bit slow during that time due to being weakened a bit the drone saw what he did and blasted the pebble! To make matters worse, the bigger drones had EXPLOSIVE LASERS. The explosions weren't strong enough to destroy a very big building in a single hit, but they could blast a medium sized crater in the ground! Now Ben was RRREEAAALLLYYYY in BIG TROUBLE! He had drones small and big blasting at him from every side and had NO IDEA what to do! He could try to trick some of the drones into blasting each other, but would their lasers work on the VERY SAME METAL they were MADE on?! Besides, he wouldn't have any time or opportunity to do that anyway because drones were EVERYWHERE.
Getting the Omnitrix was cool, now Ben could finally use it to achieve his dream of becoming a hero. However, he didn't expect LOADS OF DRONES AT THE START. But honestly, what did he expect? Being a hero REALLY WASN'T like a video game or something like that, there was no "tutorials" or level 1. Just easy times, hard times, occasional VERY HARD problems and ENEMIES. And right now was a VEEERRRYYY HARD TIME! Ben wished he was given enough time to figure out what the Omnitrix can and can't do.
While he was running, another thing popped out of the sky. It started out as a faint shadow that looked like an open hair dryer. Over time, that shadow grew bigger and bigger as it was nearing Earth. Ben made confused animalistic sounds as he looked at it. -Is someone going to help him, or did he have to worry about that shadow?
[Meanwhile...]
Ya'll guessed it, the shadow was Vilgax's ship. And he had set his sights on Ben! He was typing away on his keyboard again, only this time... -he wasn't sending out drones. He was sending A BIG MISSILE! -AND IT WAS AIMED STRAIGHT FOR BEN! "That Omnitrix is mine..." thought Vilgax as he sent the missile.
*Technological sounds* *Activation beep* *-FFFFWWWOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
[Back in Ben's POV]
Ben's question was answered when something came out of the sky, it was a spaceship that looked like a floating open hair dryer. It was Vilgax's ship, and Ben HAD to worry about that! Ben dodged, jumped over and avoided more lasers as he tried to figure out if the ship was his friend or foe. But he didn't have to figure out any longer... a BIG MISSILE ROCKETED out of the ship! Ben looked at it for a bit to figure out who it was aimed for, but then he quickly realized that it didn't matter who it was aimed for because HE'D GET CAUGHT IN THE BLAST TOO! He whimpered before trying to run as fast as he could to get away as far as he could from the missile! But it was NO USE! In a split second all the drones moved out of the way, then...
*-BOOM!* *-WILDMUTT NOISES!-*
Ben was THROWN ACROSS! He ended up FLYING in the air like a RAGDOLL! He flew VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY FAR before CRASHING into the ground HARD.
*WHAM! BAP! BAP! BAM! BAM!* *Wildmutt in pain noises*
Ben felt INTENSE PAIN, the fall beat up his body badly and he needed a rest. Ben was feeling a bit weak right now, so he managed to gather enough energy to look up. He checked if the ship was still there, there was nothing for a few moments... -before...
*RANDOM MISSILE NOISES!* *EXPLOSIONS!* *WILDMUTT NOISES!-*
MORE MISSILES came at him! They were smaller, but no less dangerous! And when they all hit the ground, Ben was sent FLYING ONCE MORE! This time, he got thrown MUCH MORE FARTHER than last time. Ben crash landed on the ground with MULTIPLE CRASHING THUDS before laying there feeling weak and helpless.
*-FFWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!* *Wildmutt whining noises and runnning sounds!* *-CRASH!*
Shortly after, Ben looked up again. This time, he saw Vilgax's ship COMING TOWARDS HIM FAST! Seeing this, some sort of adrenaline surged through Ben's body. Giving him enough strength and energy to roll out of the way fast! And he was just in time too, because as soon as he got out of the way... -Vilgax's ship CRASHED INTO THE EARTH! -Causing a MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE! Ben winced a bit from the shaking of the land and the deafening crash.
Smoke flew EVERYWHERE. Then, some sort of sliding roof opened on top of the ship. And when it did, it revealed... -Vilgax. He looked REALLY ANGRY right now, and he eyed the Omnitrix. He then jumped out of his ship and started pressing things on the armor that covered his hand. He activated some sort of scanner, it was analyzing Ben, his real species and other general information about him. Once the scanner was done, Vilgax thought "At long last... after all this time... I'll finally have... the Omnitrix." before walking towards Ben.
Ben looked to his right, when he did he saw a creepy gray alien with an octopus like head and red armor. "-WHO'S THAT?!" Ben thought as he tried to get up, but didn't have the strength to do so. As soon as Vilgax got close to Ben, his hand turned into MANY TENTACLES! He tried reaching for the Omnitrix, but before he could...
*-WILDMUTT ROARING NOISES!-* *-WHIPPING SOUND!-* *SMASH!* *Wildmutt whining sounds*
Ben used what little of remaining strength he had to try and attack Vilgax, unfortunately Vilgax whipped him hard with a tentacle and THRASHED him around after turning it back into a fist! "This ends now." Vilgax said as he tried to reach for the Omnitrix again, but then Ben growled "-W...-who are you? Why are you doing this to me?! W...what do you want? What are you?". Obviously Ben was speaking in Wildmutt's language, but there were 2 things. 1, Vilgax understood this. And 2, he knew Ben was actually a human. So Vilgax pressed more buttons on his hand armor and something lit up.
"Who I am is not important, all you need to know is that the device you have is mine. Give it to me, child."
Something UNEXPECTED happened, Vilgax started to speak... -ENGLISH?! He told Ben to give up the Omnitrix, but Ben didn't trust him. So he said "-YOU JUST TRIED TO BLAST ME TO BITS! -I'M NOT GIVIN' THIS BACK TO YOU! AND WITH THE WAY YOU SPEAK AND THE THINGS YOU DID, I KNOW YOU'RE EVIL! SO NO, I'M NOT GIVIN' THIS BACK TO YA YOU DISGUSTING FREAK!".
"You will regret this, human." Vilgax thought as he formed red energy around his hands. Then, he prepared to blast Ben!
*BLASTING NOISES!* *BOOM!*
But Ben just jumped out of the way and clung on to a tree. "-THAT'S IT! YOU'RE GOING DOWN! YOU WON'T DESTROY THIS PLANET WITHOUT A FIGHT! -IT'S HERO TIME!" Ben roared as he LEAPT at Vilgax! They both ended up crashing into another big rock wall. Shortly after, Vilgax used his tentacles to remove and thrash Ben! Then he tried to get the Omnitrix again, but Ben was able to fight back and clawed at the tentacles. -Or... -at least tried to...
Vilgax's body was tougher than it looked, it'd take something BIG to damage it. Speaking of Vilgax, he became angry and said "-I GROW TIRED OF THIS!" before SMASHING Ben on the ground!
*-SMASH!* *Pained Wildmutt sounds...*
Now that's done it. Ben felt incredible pain through his body, he felt like he couldn't do much of anything. Taking the opportunity, Vilgax took action. He pressed more buttons on his hand armor, then something resembling a grappling hook latched onto the Omnitrix. With that, Vilgax tinkered with the features in his hand armor and the functions of the Omnitrix.
*Technological noises*
Vilgax tinkered with his hand armor, the grappling hook thingy and the Omnitrix for a bit. I don't know what he's doing right now, but we're probably gonna find out later. And that later is... -now. Once Vilgax was done, he retracted the grappling hook thingy back into his hand armor. After that, he tapped the Omnitrix. -Immediately after, red lights and weird noises came out of it.
*Omnitrix time out noises*
The Omnitrix glowed red and beeped 5 times before suddenly ENGULFING Ben in red light! Once it was over, Vilgax could see that... -Ben had turned back to normal. Normally, this'd be good. As realistically, most people wouldn't want to be stuck as an alien forever. On the other hand though... -this was NOT THE BEST TIME to time out!
This was Vilgax's chance, he activated something on his hand armor and tried to grab the Omnitrix. But before he could...
*-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-* "AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" *-PEW-BOOM!*
GUNSHOTS RANG OUT! And Vilgax got a flurry of bullets! He turned around to see who were firing at him and saw 2 policemen and a hunter. They tried their best to help Ben but it was no use as Vilgax was resistant to bullets. Ben's chance had come, he pressed one of the buttons on the Omnitrix and the dial popped up. Vilgax didn't hear a thing because of the gunfire. Before ya'll ask "How come Ben can use the Omnitrix again? It just timed out!", well the Omnitrix hasn't used up all it's charge yet. Only almost half of it. It didn't time out on itself remember? Vilgax just messed with it. Also, a little heads up. The Omnitrix's symbol is still blue because it still has charge. The real color of the time out mode on this Ben's Omnitrix was just like the original's. -Red.
Angered, Vilgax INSTANTLY BURNED the policemen and the hunter using his laser eyes. "Pathetic." Vilgax thought as he turned to look back at Ben, but when he did...
*-OMNITRIX TRANSFORMATION NOISES!-* *-WHAP!* "-UURRGGHHH!"
-HE GOT A BIG SLAP ACROSS THE FACE! He held his face as it was in a bit of pain, and when he looked at Ben again... -he didn't see him. Instead, he saw a BIG BULKY figure standing before him! It had a white body, blue eyes and black stripe running vertically in the middle of the body. But the feature that stood out above the rest were the big blue nubs on the sides of it's head and the top of the lower parts of it's arms. This alien was none other than... -Cannonbolt. And here we see Ben's second transformation.
Ben tackled Vilgax full force again, but since he was Cannonbolt this time the tackle was stronger! He and Vilgax ended up tumbling down from a steep rocky place! "-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-" Ben yelled over and over again, he couldn't stop tumbling. Especially since Cannonbolt was HEAVY. Vilgax on the other hand just grunted as he fell.
When the drones saw what Ben did they all started firing at him! Some of the lasers hit Ben, "-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-" Ben yelled again continously, luckily Cannonbolt had a bit of endurance against lasers. So Ben wasn't affected that much. It still hurt like HELL though and Ben needed to find a way to avoid the lasers. -But how? Cannonbolt was heavy and his reflexes weren't the same as Wildmutt's. Suddenly, as Ben was tumbling down he felt a natural instict... this instict was telling him to... -curl up? But why? Only one way to find out.
"-W...-why do I feel like I have to curl up? Guess it's better than not knowing what to do at the moment." Ben thought as he followed his instincts. So he curled up, and when he did he turned into some sort of... -ball thing? This was Cannonbolt's ball form. "-WHAT?! -WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!" Ben thought, but then he found himself rolling FARTHER AND FASTER OUT OF CONTROL. "-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-" Ben yelled as he tried to stop himself. Unfortunately, he was heading towards a BIG ROCK. "-I'M GONNA CRASH! -PLEASE TELL ME THIS THING'S STRONG ENOUGH FOR THIS!" he added in his head. For a moment there, it looked like Ben was gonna crash. But...
*CANNONBOLT ROLLING NOISES!* "-WHOOOO-OOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" *CRASH!* "-OOMPH!"
Since the rock was slanted a bit, it ended up becoming a ramp for him to fly sky high! He rolled very far before landing with a big CRASH. "...uuurrgghhhh..." Ben groaned as he rubbed his back. "Ow... that hurt." he thought, then he looked at his hands and said "So, this guy can roll? SWEET! I wonder what else he can do!". But shortly after...
*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-*
"-NEVERMIND! -I CAN WORK WITH THIS!" Ben said as the drones fired at him! He rolled away in a split second! "I feel like this guy's too heavy to jump high enough to smash those drones! Gotta find a ledge or somethin'!" Ben thought as he rolled faster. But even WORSE problems came! More mysterious figures formed in the sky! Even though Cannonbolt's back would cover his eyes he could still see them! Cannonbolt's species is called Arburian pelarotas, and they have the ability to see even when rolling. And right now, Cannonbolt was seeing figures in the sky...
"OH COME ON! WHY YOU GOTTA KEEP SENDIN' MORE AT ME?! GO AWAY!" Ben thought as he sped up. However, when the figures popped up from the sky Ben could see that they WEREN'T drones. -But ALIENS!
"-WHAT THE HELL?! -ALIENS?! -OH COME ON! -EW AND SOME OF THEM LOOK CREEPY AND DISGUSTING TOO! -I'M OUT!" Ben continued in his mind as he rolled EVEN FASTER. What he didn't know was that these aliens were with Vilgax, and they came to help him retrieve the Omnitrix. An alien with tentacles extended them to try and grab Ben, but his tentacles got caught in the rolling and he ended up falling from his hoverboard. Ben on the other hand was forced to un-roll himself and got thrown across. "OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OOMPH! OOF! OW." he said, "...uurrrggghhhh..." he groaned. Just then, lasers started appearing again. But this time, they were followed by blasts of different colors and slime!
*LASERS, BLASTS AND SLIMES NOISES!*
"-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW HEY!" Ben said as the lasers blasted him and left shallow but wide BURNS on his back. Then, he got trapped in the slimes that were repeatedly shot at him 'till he was covered. Ben struggled to get out, but the slime was so sticky and thick that not even the bulk of Cannonbolt would be of any use. Just then, a familiar figure went towards Ben. It was Vilgax. Vilgax eyed Ben, raised his fist... -then...
*-SMASH!* "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
-He SMASHED Ben on the back with his fist! "I grow TIRED of this!" he said as he activated something in his hand armor to give him a black glove. Using the glove,
he removed the slime that was trapping Ben. Then, he KICKED him hard and made him roll over to the side again. After all that, Vilgax walked over to Ben and thought "Finally, the Omnitrix in my grasp.". Is this it for Ben? Was he gonna lose the Omnitrix to some weird disgusting squid-like creature in less than half a day? Right now... -it was looking REEAAAAAAAALLYYY hopeless for Ben.
*Alien language* *-PEW!" "-PAINED ALIEN NOISES!* *EXPLOSIONS!*
If ya'll are wondering what happened now, here's a heads up. Azmuth and his team are ALIVE, and they found out that the Omnitrix and Vilgax were on Earth. And now they've come to save Ben, stop Vilgax and his lackeys and retrieve the Omnitrix. Meanwhile, I'll translate the alien languages once more so ya'll can understand.
So someone in Azmuth's ship said "LEAVE THE CHILD ALONE, VILGAX! PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE!", then someone proceeded to blast Vilgax, his lackeys and the drones! Most of the drones were destroyed, and Vilgax and his lackeys were deterred. Just another heads up, Azmuth ISN'T driving his ship right now. He's kinda injured from the last battle. And whoever drove the ship SMASHED into the lackeys, drones and even VILGAX HIMSELF. The ship CRUSHED THEM and DRAGGED THEM ALL ACROSS THE GROUND! While all of this was happening, something WEIRD occured. The Omnitrix started GLOWING RED and BEEPING! "-Huh?" Ben thought as he looked at it. Then...
*Omnitrix time out noises!*
The Omnitrix sent a blast of red light before revealing Ben back in his human form. Ben groaned a bit as he got up, when he looked at himself he said "-Huh? I'm me again? B...-but I didn't even do anything! -D...-did it BREAK or something?!". He looked at the Omnitrix for a bit, "-Looks fine to me.." he said. But while he was wondering if the Omnitrix broke or not...
*-WEIRD NOISES!* "-HUH?!"
Weird noises came from the above, it was ALIENS! They jumped from Azmuth's ship while it dragged and crash landed on Vilgax, his lackeys and the drones. When they landed, Ben got to take a look at them. Now anyone knows that if anyone saw an alien in real life... -they'd most probably freak out.
"-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Ben tried to run, but one of the aliens caught him and pinned him to the wall. This made him scream more, then the alien yelled "SHUT UP! WE ARE NOT HERE TO HARM YOU! SO CALM DOWN OKAY?! WE'RE JUST HERE TO TAKE BACK SOMETHING THAT BELONGS TO ONE OF OUR FRIENDS!". Hearing that, Ben stopped screaming. But he was FROZEN in fear. Those aliens looked FREAKY, and you can't blame him. You'd freak out too if you saw creepy aliens. "Don't scare the child, just take the device from him. Then we can stop Vilgax and-" another alien interjected. But he was cut off when Ben asked "-Vilgax? Who's Vilgax?! The creepy squid guy with red armor and tentacles?". "Yes, Vilgax is a villain-" the second alien tried to add, but got cut off again by Ben saying "-AHA! I KNEW HE WAS A BAD GUY!". "Then you also know that you can get EASILY DESTROYED BY HIM right?" the alien asked back. "Well... not exactly. I got this thing." Ben replied showing the Omnitrix. "I can use this to protect myself and maybe even STOP HIM!" he continued. "-NO! One, that's not yours. And two, you do not have enough experience to wield the Omnitrix." the alien replied. "Wait, -Omnitrix? Is that what this thing's called?" Ben asked again.
"Yes."
"Why Omnitrix?"
"Because Azmuth had a thing for using Earth words and Earth sounding languages to name some of his inventions. In the Omnitrix's case, he named it that way because according to him... it was sort of a combination between the words omni and tricks. In Earth language, omni means many. And tricks could mean things that no normal individual or thing can do. Azmuth just replaced the cks in tricks with x to make the name better and sound cooler. Thus naming the device the Omnitrix. Ironically though, the Omnitrix only has several features. Only 2 of them stand out, the ability to turn it's wearer into 1 of 10 different transformations in there. And the feature that turns the wearer back to normal when it needs to recharge."
"Wait, -THIS THING NEEDS TO RECHARGE?!"
"Yes, when the Omnitrix drains it's charge it glows red and beeps for a few times before turning the wearer back to normal. After that, it's symbol will be colored red to show that it's recharging. You'll have to wait for a while before it's charge completes again, you'll know this when it makes beeping noises and the symbol turns blue again. Then you'll be able to transform again. And the whole thing repeats itself all over again."
Ben was about to ask something, but before he could...
*THRUSSHHHH!* *FWOOOSSSHHHHH!* *-KRASH!*
Vilgax managed to get Azmuth's ship off him and THREW it across! Luckily, Azmuth's ship was too heavy for Vilgax to throw that far. But Vilgax was ANGRY, and you DON'T wanna encounter him angry.
"-I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" Vilgax roared as he blasted many things across! "-WOAH!" Ben yelled as he NARROWLY AVOIDED a blast sent his way! "-WE NEED TO TAKE THIS FIGHT OUT OF EARTH, IF WE ALL STAY HERE VILGAX WILL DESTROY THIS PLANET! You're coming with us human, we want to remove the device but we don't have time. -COME ON!" a third alien said as he grabbed Ben and took him in Azmuth's ship. "-WHO-OOOAAHH!" yelled Ben as he got dragged in. "-ARE WE GOIN' TO OUTER SPACE?!" he asked. "Yes." answered the alien. "-But wait! -I-I-I-I don't have a spacesuit!" said Ben. "-We'll give you one when we all get in the ship, -COME ON!" said the alien as he and Ben boarded the ship. Then, all the alien's friends followed him. Once they were all inside, the ship's door closed. And immediately, the ship BLASTED into space!
Vilgax groaned, as he got up he saw Azmuth's ship flying into the sky. "...-rrrggghhhhh... -why you little..." he thought, then he saw that drones were chasing after Azmuth's ship. Guess that solved his problem for a bit, but he still needed his lackeys and extra force if he wanted to make sure he'd get the Omnitrix. So he said "-Get up everyone! They're getting away!". But the lackeys groaned as they tried to do so, the crash from the ship weakened them a bit. "-WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING?! -I SAID GET UP!" Vilgax continued angrily as he lightly kicked one of the lackeys. After a bit, the lackeys finally managed to get up. Quickly, they followed Vilgax into his ship and they took off chasing after Azmuth.
[Inside Azmuth's ship...]
Ben finally had a spacesuit on, now he was ready to go into outer space just in case he needed to. Speaking of space, he just COULDN'T believe what was happening right now! First a super cool watch that can turn him into 10 different transformations came to him, second he got to use it and destroy a drone and now he was literally in OUTER SPACE!
"I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THIS!" said Ben excitedly, but one of the aliens cut him off with a "-NO! -You will NOT tell ANYONE everything that happened!".
"-Huh?! Why? Are you guys tryna keep this whole thing a secret?"
"-Obviously! What we do is VERY IMPORTANT and must be kept secret. If any of your friends or even family found out about this, you could get in trouble. -REEAALLLY BIG TROUBLE. It'll be even worse if beings like hostile aliens and other hostile things found out about your little gig. They'd most probably be able to trace you and where your locaton is. Then, they'd do something like kidnap you or hold you for ransom or even KILL YOU!"
"-I... -I can defend myself using this!"
"No, you can't. Because we'll be taking that away from you after this whole thing's done."
"But wh-"
*-CRASH!* *ALIENS AND BEN SCREAMING*
While Ben and the alien was having a conversation, Vilgax RAMMED his ship into their's full force! This caused everyone in Azmuth's ship to fall down, including Ben! The crash left a CRACK in Azmuth's ship. "IT'S VILGAX!" said an alien, "-FIRE!" said another one!
In a split second, laser blasts and occasional small missiles were exchanged between the 2 aircrafts! Both trying their best to take down the other. Ben RRREEEEAAALLLY wanted to help right now, but then he realized the left arm part of his spacesuit was covering the Omnitrix. So he removed it, he was about to transform when he realized the suit he was wearing right now was only made for HUMANS. "Hmm... what am I gonna do?" Ben thought, "Ooh! I can ask the aliens if any of my transformations can breathe in space!" he added.
Ben looked at the aliens, they were busy with defending themselves against Vilgax. But surely they could talk about something while they were defending right? Worth a shot. Ben put the left part of his spacesuit back on and went over to some of the aliens.
"Hey, can I ask a question?"
"What?"
"Can any of the Omnitrix's transformations breathe in space?"
"The current ones can. Why?"
"Nothing, just wanted to know more about the Omnitrix. I'm a curious person."
The alien Ben talked to just sighed and went back to defending, Ben on the other hand quickly took off his spacesuit while everyone wasn't looking. He then quickly pressed a button on the Omnitrix and began twisting the dial. He stopped at an icon that looked like some sort of... -PTERODACTYL?! Then, he SLAMMED on the dial REAL FAST! -Then...
*-OMNITRIX TRANSFORMATION SOUND!-*
Ben's left arm started to grow BULGING VEINS, then the arms turned longer and skinnier. His body changed and became leaner too. His feet turned into something similar to a chicken's, only with a backwards toe on the back. His hand became smaller while developing 3 long and leaner fingers. Wings grew out from the back, his head turned into something similar to a pterodactyl's. Followed by a big, long and wide beak with a rounded end and sharp edges for teeth. His skin turned light blue, and finally... -ARMOR began to form all over his body! Covering him from head to toe!
*-COMPLETE OMNITRIX TRANSFORMATION SOUND!* *-SQUAAWWWKKK!*
Ben had just turned into some sort of armored pterodactyl-like creature. This... was Astrodactyl. The original Astrodactyl was part of Ben 10 Omniverse, he was orange almost all over, no armor, had whips on the top of his arms and had a rocket. Our Ben's Astrodactyl was light blue, but he had no whips or rockets. But he DID have armor so I guess that balances things out? Nothing we can do now, it's in the DNA of this story's version of Astrodactyl.
Anyway, Ben quickly pressed a button to open the door on the bottom of the ship. Once it opened, he WHIZZED out! This Ben's Astrodactyl was much slower than the original's, but I guess the armor balances it out.
"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU-" *SQUAAAWWWWKKK!* "It's hero time!" *Squaawwwkkk!*
Ben got out of the ship and into OUTER SPACE! "-WHOA! So this is what flying in outer space feels like! -I LIKE IT!" he said as he caught a view of outer space in person for the first time ever in his life. -This day couldn't get any better, -or could it? Hehe. "Time to get a bird's-eye view of those crazy drones and aliens!" said Ben as he flew across! "THIS IS AWESOME!" he thought.
Meanwhile in Vilgax's ship, Vilgax saw Ben come out of Azmuth's ship and fly. "Deploy electric net." commanded Vilgax, immediately his lackeys obeyed and aimed the net at Ben...
*-PEYOW! FWOOSH!* *-SQUAAAAWWKKK!-* "-WHOA!"
The net was deployed shortly after! Luckily, Ben saw it in time and dodged it! "I know there's a phrase called nothing but net, but you just got NOTHING! -My turn!" Ben quipped as he flew down towards the drones! The drones tried to hit Ben, but he was too good of a flier right now. Guess flying was this Astrodactyl's thing. Ben managed to grab one of the drones and THROW IT INTO ANOTHER!
"HEEYAH!" *BANG!*
Both drones took small dents and scratched paint. "There's more where that came from! Let's rumble!" Ben said as he dodged drone lasers and threw drones at each other. "...RRRRGGHHHH... -THE PEST! TIME FOR YOU 3 TO GET OUT THERE!" Vilgax roared. Vilgax's lackeys then got out of the ship and into outer space to battle Ben. Speaking of Ben, he was still dodging lasers and banging the drones around. "Can't believe I'm doin' this! I'm finally fightin' villains!" he said. But shortly after, a drone fired and NEARLY hit him! "-OH-WHOA!-" Ben yelled. "-YA WANNA PLAY IT THAT WAY?! -FINE! I'M TEACHIN' FLIGHT CLASSES RIGHT NOW! AND ALL OF YA ARE WELCOME TO TRY IT OUT!" he taunted to the drones. Then, he did an aerial backflip and flew as fast as he could towards them!
"You know what they say. The bigger they are, the HARDER they fall! -Or in your cases, -higher."
Ben managed to tackle one of the drones just like he did as Wildmutt, only this time he wasn't gonna crash them into a rock wall. He was gonna crash them on Vilgax's ship.
"-Time for you to take a CRASH COURSE!" he said, before letting go of the drone and letting it hit Vilgax's ship with SUCH FORCE that it IMMEDIATELY SHATTERED! "WOOOOHOOOOOOOO!" Ben yelled. Suddenly, a drone tried to RAM BEN. But he dodged, grabbed it by the body and threw it at another drone sending them flying! "I wonder if aliens have demolition derbies, 'cuz I'm about to make the outer space version of it!" Ben quipped again as he continued fighting.
"-WHAT IS HE DOING OUT THERE?!" yelled one of Azmuth's friends, "-HE'S GOING TO GET KILLED!" said another. Azmuth's friends COULDN'T believe what they were seeing! A child who is currently in the form of Astrodactyl, -LITERALLY FIGHTING VILGAX'S FORCES! Perhaps human children were more braver than they thought. ...If given the chance at least...
Anyway, back to Ben. He's still fighting drones, and he actually managed to destroy several of them now. Outstanding... -for a boy who's an alien right now. But it was still something. Ben just managed to grab another drone that tried to smash into him, "-YOU WANNA SMASH STUFF?! SMASH THIS INSTEAD!" Ben said as he THREW the drone STARIGHT AT THE TOP WINDOW OF VILGAX'S SHIP!
*-SMASH!*
The drone PLUMMETED through the window and OBLITERATED the glass! It even managed to knock the 2 lackeys who were in there down! When Ben saw this, he immediately flew down towards the smashed window. Then, he grabbed the 2 lackeys and SMACKED them against each other! Before throwing them on some drones which caused both the drones and the lackeys to explode!
*BOOM! BOOM!*
"Now that's what I call a "blast"!" Ben punned, before he was met with a TACKLE ON THE BACK!
"-OOF!-"
-IT WAS VILGAX'S LACKEYS! They came out, ...-and it seems like they brought the rest of their friends. Ben got the lackey on his back off him, but then the rest of them started firing lasers, slimes and electric bolts! Ben flew and punched one of the three main lackeys in the gut, another one used his tentacles to grab him. But he BIT the tentacles, making the lackey SHRIEK and pull them away!
*ALIEN SHRIEKING!*
The third lackey started firing at him, but he dodged and punched him away. The first lackey then had a shot, this time Ben was hit! This deterred him a bit. The lackeys took their chance and tackled Ben, one held his body. The other 2 held his arms and legs. Then the lackeys started BEATING UP BEN!
"-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-"
Ben was trapped! He couldn't get out of the lackeys' holds as they were too strong. Suddenly, laser blasts came out of NOWHERE and pelted the LACKEYS! What was different about those lasers were that... -they were blue! Ben looked to see who helped him, -it was one of Azmuth's friends! He was saved! ...-Oooor maybe not as the lackeys TIGHTENED their grip on Ben and continued to beat him up. Azmuth's friend then activated some sort of energy bayonet in his weapon. He STABBED the third lackey first, causing the lackey to BLEED AND CRY OUT IN PAIN! Then he threw the third lackey, got the other two off of Ben and beat them up. Ben looked around for more trouble other than aliens and drones. He didn't find any more of those, but he did find a pleasant surprise. Some of Azmuth's friends helping him. Now he'd have extra force!
"You've proved that you've got something for this kind of stuff, but don't think we won't be taking the Omnitrix after this. After all, it shouldn't be in the hands of a child like you."
"-SERIOUSLY?! -EVEN AFTER I HELPED- -WHOA!" *GASPING!*
A laser suddenly HIT BEN! Making him fly across. "-HEY!" another one of Azmuth's friends yelled angrily and BLASTED whatever that laser came from. Which turned out to be the first lackey. Pretty soon, the rest of Azmuth's friends took out their weapons. One of them yelled "COME ON! LET'S STOP VILGAX!", then they just went BERZERK AND ATTACKED every single one of Vilgax's forces!
*-ALIENS SCREAMING!*
Punches and kicks were thrown at each other, blasts were exchanged, slime was occasionally flung, electric bolts struck through space and it turned into an ALL OUT FIGHT.
*PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-* *SPLURT! SPLURT! SPLURT!* *KZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTT!* *PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-*
Inside his ship, Vilgax decided he'd attack Ben himself. He knew that defending himself by keeping the ship's lasers firing was more important, but he REAAALLLLYYYYY wanted the Omnitrix! So he left the defending to some of his lackeys. Then, he put on VERY HEAVY ARMOR and equipped himself with 2 big laser blasters, 2 laser pistols, an energy sword and some sort of red power glove he wore under his left hand armors. Vilgax then got out of his ship to capture Ben and retrieve the Omnitrix.
*-CHHK-CHHK!* *Outer space noises!* *FWWOOOSSSHHHH!*
[Back to Ben...]
The fight REALLY got bad now, fortunately Ben was able to hold his own against the drones and aliens. ...-Sort of...
*-LASER BLAST NOISES!-* *BOOM!* "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" *GASPING* "-NO!"
A BIG LASER BLAST CAME OUT OF NOWEHERE AND SENT BEN FLYING THROUGH SPACE! Azmuth's friends saw what happened, "-NO!" one of them said as they tried to blast Vilgax! But Vilgax's armor withstood it, then Vilgax ATTACKED AND THRASHED AZMUTH'S FRIENDS AROUND AND SENT THEM FLYING TOO. "-NO ONE GETS BETWEEN ME AND THE OMNITRIX!" Vilgax growled as he flew towards Ben, who was still tumbling around.
"WHOAWHOAWHOAWHOAWHOAWHOAWHOAWHOAWHOAWHOAAAAAAAA!" Ben said as he spun, after a bit he was able to get his balance back. He shook his head to recompose himself, but then he was assaulted by MORE LASER BLASTS. Luckily, he dodged all of them this time and flew down to try and punch Vilgax. But as he was getting near, a PAINFUL sensation suddenly went through his entire body!
"AAAAHHHHH!" Ben shouted as he instantly pulled away from the source of the shock, -which turned out to be from an invisible forcefield that was wrapped around Vilgax. "WHAT?!" Ben yelled as he flew up, unintentionally avoiding a punch sent by Vilgax. Ben flew away to get some help from Azmuth's friends.
[4 Seconds Later...]
Azmuth's friends were still battling when Ben suddenly came over to them and yelled "-HELP! Vilgax has an invisible forcefield around him! Also, he's got armor and weapons too!". "Don't worry, we'll help." Azmuth's friends replied as they readied themselves.
Shortly after, Vilgax could be seen coming towards Ben using the rockets in his feet armor. Azmuth's friends started blasting, but Vilgax used his tentacles to throw their blasters away and throw them too! If you're wondering how Vilgax can use his tentacles while in armor, it's because the tentacle part of the armor is extendable. "Hey Vilgax! That outfit dosen't suit you, but at least you look less creepy this way." Ben quipped. Vilgax just simply electrocuted Ben, grabbed him by using one of his tentacles and THREW HIM TOWARDS HIS SHIP! "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ben yelled as he was heading straight into the SHIP'S WALL! "UH OH..." he thought as he got closer and closer to collision. However, just when it looked like Ben was going to crash... -the ship's wall mysteriously slid open. Was it some sort of door? Could it be the door to the room where Vilgax drives? It's gotta be, the room definitely looked like it was for a driver.
Ben PLUMMETED into that room and landed with a big BANG making him squawk in pain. The floor barely got damaged, guess Vilgax's ship is tough. Immediately after throwing Ben in the driver's room Vilgax used his rocket boots to CHARGE at Ben full force!
*-WHAM!-* *-SQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!*
Ben squawked in EXTREME PAIN! The pain was WAY WAY WORSE than before, at this point Ben should be down. But he's Astrodactyl right now. And Astrodactyl had alien endurance plus armor. But... speaking of armor... Ben felt something... -off about it. It felt like as if it almost GOT BENT with how force Vilgax hit him! This was the moment Ben realized... -that Astrodactyl's armor might NOT be as strong as he thought.
"Had enough? With every second that you get in the way between me and my Omnitrix I get angrier. Normally I'd just finish nuisances like you right away, but since you've tested my patience... I think making you suffer will be enough to recitify your errors." Vilgax uttered in a calm but VENOMOUS voice. This made Ben shake in fear and gulp, he hoped that someone or something would save him. But Vilgax's ship is tough, very few things can break through it. Ben groaned in pain, and he shook even more as he did so.
"Pathetic. Did you really think you could challenge the GREAT and POWERFUL VILGAX?! You're nothing compared to me. Without the Omnitrix, you're nothing but a puny little boy who'd never be able to amount to anything. You're not worthy of the Omnitrix, so if I were you... -I'd let the professionals handle it."
*-WHAM!* "-OOOGH!"
After saying that, Vilgax KICKED Ben across. Then, he did the same thing he did with the Omnitrix a while back. Use his grappling hook thingy on it then tap it to make it time out.
*Omnitrix time out noises*
Once again, Ben was back in human form. Vilgax then grabbed him by the left wrist.
"Finally, the Omnitrix is MINE!"
"Oh no... -what am I going to do?! I'm back in human form again and I feel too weak to struggle against this guy right now!" Ben thought. He was on a VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY DESPERATE situation! But... although this was the case... he wasn't going down WITHOUT A FIGHT. Now matter how little or useless it would be. And if he did end like this, at least he would end while he was doing the thing he loved the most... -being a hero. But this WASN'T the end... -not just YET!
*-WHAM!-* "URGH!" *SLAM!*
Ben used his body to SLAM Vilgax down on the floor! Vilgax DIDN'T have his forcefield activated during that time so Ben took his chance! The fall forced Vilgax to let go of Ben, who rolled away from him. Then, Ben quickly selected aliens through the Omnitrix while Vilgax was still down. Once Vilgax stood up, a blue light flashed near him!
*-OMNITRIX TRANSFORMATION SOUNDS!-*
"Huh?!" Vilgax said once he saw what the blue light revealed after it cleared. A tall, muscular and light blue creature with features similar to a dinosaur. It had small light blue eyes, tough skin, elephant-like feet and a big tail. -It was... -Humungousaur! Ben looked at his hands again to see that they grew bigger and became rougher. He also noticed that he became taller. "WHOA, THIS GUY'S BIG! W-what can he do? He's got muscular arms so he's gotta be pretty strong. ...Right?" Ben said.
"RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Only one way to find out!" he added as he grabbed the tentacle that was about to grab him, then THREW it along with Vilgax! Who crashed into the CONTROLS!
*SMASH! KZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! BOOM!*
The controls EXPLODED, leaving the ship undrivable. "YOU IDIOT! NOW THIS SHIP CAN'T BE DRIVEN!" Vilgax yelled, "Serves you right." Ben retorted as he tried to punch Vilgax, only to get shocked again! "OW!" Ben yelled, "Fool, not only did you damage the driving... -but you also damaged the controls. Including the ones NEEDED for anyone to GET OUT! Congratulations, you've trapped us both inside here. -And not even your current form will save you now! This ship is made of an EXTREMELY rare material, and it is practically UNBREAKABLE. EVEN YOU won't be able to break it!" said Vilgax. "-W... -WHA?!" Ben muttered as he looked around. He COULDN'T afford to be trapped inside the ship FOREVER, so he thought of a plan on how to get out.
(In Ben's Mind): "Ok, let's not panic. I'm sure I can find a way outta this! THINKTHINKTHINKTHINKTHINKTHINKTHINK- Hmmm... if I can't break it... maybe VILGAX CAN! He's the one who made this ship after all! -AND the controls got destroyed when I threw him to it! So maybe the walls will get destroyed too! But how do I get to him to throw him... hmm... -OH WAIT! -MAYBE I DON'T NEED TO! I just need to make him mad enough to charge at me then he'll accidentally hit a wall or even the door! Then I can get out! I'm a genius!"
With a plan formed, Ben came up with his best taunts and insults against Vilgax.
"So... you built this ship but don't know how to get out of it? That's kinda sad, -even for you."
"Huh?"
"I guess you're more bark than bite, you're not so smart after all! I wonder how you're still a villain. Maybe everyone who heard about you exaggerates your stories. And you say I'M not worthy of the Omnitrix!"
"-RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" *SMASH!*
Vilgax CHARGED at Ben, but Ben anticipated it and dodged just in time. Making Vilgax SMASH A BIG HOLE IN THE WALL. "Told ya!" Ben yelled as he went after Vilgax and THREW A FLURRY OF PUNCHES AT HIM.
*-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAM-BAP-BAP-BAP-WHAM-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-WHAM-*
"Sometimes, you just gotta "roll" with the "punch"es." Ben taunted as he unleashed ONE BIG PUNCH that sent Vilgax FLYING THROUGH space! If you're wondering why the forcefield isn't working some of the time, it's because it only works when Vilgax wants it to. So attacking him OFF GUARD REEALLLLYYY HELPS. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Vilgax yelled as he tumbled further into space! Meanwhile, Ben looked around. He could see that Azmuth's forces were STILL fighting against Vilgax's, this proved that Vilgax was a LOT STRONGER than he thought. So he went to help. A drone then RAMMED into him! "OOF!" Ben blurted out as he was blown back a bit. Luckily, Humungousaur had VERY HIGH endurance. However, Ben still clutched his stomach in pain as it was a bit painful. What the drone did made Ben ANGRY. -And he let out a loud-
*-RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!*
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" yelled one of Azmuth's friends, his question was answered when he saw Ben as Humungousaur. -Who proceeded to THRASH AROUND the drones! Destroying them one by one. "Let's help him!" yelled another one of Azmuth's friends and they all started fighting too.
*-BAP-BANG-BAM-BAM-SMASH!* *-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-* *-SPLURT-SPLURT-SPLURT!* *-KZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTT!* *-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW* *-BANG -BAP-SMASH-CRASH-WHAM-BAM-BOOM-SMASH!*
"NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT! REAL ACTION!" said Ben, he was having the TIME OF HIS LIFE RIGHT NOW. But... just as he was about to keep fighting...
*-BOOM!* "WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" *GASPING!* "-NO! -NOT AGAIN!" *FFFFFWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!* *-BAM-BAM-BAP-BAM!* *-ALIEN PAIN EXPRESSIONS!*
MANY BIG LASER BLASTS CAME IN HIS DIRECTION! One of them HIT HIM and sent him FLYING. "-NO! -NOT AGAIN!" yelled one of Azmuth's friends. Just then, something ZOOMED across! It was Vilgax! He managed to recover and was now whizzing past with his foot rockets! He rammed into some of Azmuth's friends, throwing them off.
"WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ben yelled as he kept on tumbling through space at a VERY FAST speed! He stayed like this for a few more seconds and ended up CRASHING into ANOTHER PLANET!
*SMASH!* "-URGH!-"
Ben ended up on a gray planet, luckily it had NO inhabitants and was SUPER SUPER DENSE. So only a medium-sized crack formed. -But...
*FFFFFWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!* *SMASH!* "-URGH!"
Vilgax came in and SMASHED INTO HIM AGAIN. "-URGH!" Ben groaned as he felt GREAT PAIN through his stomach, this Vilgax REALLY IS SOMETHING if he could SMASH HUMUNGOUSAUR LIKE A PANCAKE. About the crack on the planet, it only got a bit bigger. Showing how DENSE the planet is. Ben moaned in more pain as he tried to get up, but only met by a big foot pinning him to the ground and a BIG ELECTRIC SHOCK!
"-UUUUUURRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ben groaned even more as he withstood the long shock of electricity. But like I said, Humungousaur has GREAT ENDURANCE. Dosen't mean it was any less PAINFUL though...
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH! I was planning on sparing your pathetic life... -but you puny humans NEVER learn do you? Well, it's time to teach you a lesson you'll NEVER FORGET." Vilgax ROARED as his body started to GLOW RED. He was REALLY REALLY FURIOUS, and didn't just want to destroy Ben... -he also wanted to KILL HIM! But before he could lay a tentacle on him...
*PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-*
Lasers poured from the sky and rained down on Vilgax! It was Azmuth's friends! -And they came to the rescue! One of them landed near Ben and said "You ok?" "-U...-urgh ... -y... -yeah... -just need to rest for a second..." Ben replied. "Hold on, this won't hurt a bit." the friend as he took out a device and attached it's suction cup ended wires to Ben. Then the alien switched the device on and green energy began to flow through Ben's body.
*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW!* *LASER BLAST!* *WHAP!* *SMASH!* *SPLURT! SPLURT!* *PEW-PEW-PEW!*
The fight raged on as Ben was being healed, it took a few minutes. But afterwards, Ben felt a little bit better. "How do you feel?" the alien asked, "-I... -I... -actually feel better. Thanks!" replied Ben. But he held his body in a bit of pain after. "You can go back inside the ship if you want to. You'll get protection there and-" the alien tried to say, but Ben cut him off and said "-NO! I've come this far. I can't back out now, I see that you aliens need my help. ...-SO I'LL GO ALL THE WAY EVEN IF IT MEANS DYING!". The alien could only sigh and say
"Look kid, being a hero dosen't mean you purposely go out looking for trouble. It means STOPPING TROUBLE WHEN IT COMES!"
"Yeah, I know! But wouldn't it be even MORE AWESOME if you LOOKED FOR TROUBLES that're about to happen so you can STOP THEM before they START?"
"You don't understand! Being a hero is not all it's cracked up to be alright?!"
"-I DON'T CARE! I'LL FIGHT THIS FIGHT IF I WANT TO! Because if this becomes the death of me, then the last thing I wanna be doing is doing the thing I dreamed of for a VERY LONG TIME! -Being a hero!"
The alien was SHOCKED at what Ben said, perhaps humans weren't as weak as he thought.
"-W... -wow... I... -I never knew humans like you could be this way. Guess me and my friends were wrong about you... -I... -I owe you an apology..."
"Say sorry later, -FIGHT NOW!"
With that, Ben and the alien set off to get back in the fight. Then alien got through, but Ben got stopped when a HULKING figure appeared before him! Vilgax was back! Big laser shots rang out! Followed by a big PUNCH! "Urgh!" Groaned Vilgax as he got blown back a bit. Then, Ben used his massive tail to swat Vilgax in the face! Vilgax tried to retaliate using more lasers, but Ben dodged them and punched Vilgax again!
"It would seem that I have underestimated the power of the Omnitrix, if it can give a mere child the power to challenge me." Vilgax blurted, "You just suck!" Ben retorted as he threw a couple of punches, grabbed Vilgax by the tentacles, twisted them into crazy ties and threw him! Ben didn't know how to tie properly, so Vilgax's tentacles ended up in a MESS! I'm pretty sure no one's complaining though, this is Vilgax were talking about.
Vilgax tried untangling his tentacles, but found it hard to do. ABSOLUTELY LIVID, he gave a PIERCING GLARE towards Ben and growled "I don't know how a child like you could challenge me, but you are NOT a normal human!". "You're just BAD at this you oversized seafood!" Ben quipped back as he unleashed a flurry of punches at Vilgax!
Vilgax was being forced to go on the defensive, which meant Ben had some sort of advantage. But Vilgax had ARMOR on, so the battle became evened out. If all of you are wondering where Vilgax's forcefield went, it broke when the thing that activated it got shot by lasers.
"It's time for ya to go EXTINCT!" yelled Ben as he punched, kicked and beat up Vilgax repeatedly! The repetetive attacks soon put dents on Vilgax's armor, which put him even more on the defensive. Vilgax tried to attack back, but Ben WASN'T giving him ANY chances!
*WHAM!* "OW!"
"-Hey Vilgax, I got somethin' special on my menu tonight! -KNUCKLE SANDWICHES! -SEAFOOD STYLE!"
*BAP-BAP-BAP-BAM-WHAM-SLAM-WHAM-BAM-*
Ben continued to attack Vilgax, for a moment there he looked like he had everything under control. But as he was about to throw another punch, Vilgax was able to dodge! Then, Vilgax blasted lasers at Ben! He dodged most of them, but some hit him!
"Your heroism is impressive child. But it will be useless once I rule the universe. When this world finally comes to an inevitable end, your heroism will NOT SAVE YOU."
"-OF COURSE IT WILL, I'M GONNA PUT AN END TO THE END BEFORE IT EVEN STARTS!"
"We'll see about that..."
"...-Indeed... -HEY KID!"
"-Huh?!"
Just as Vilgax finished what he said, a voice boomed from above. "-Huh?!" said Ben as he looked up to see the circular stingray-like spaceship floating above him and Vilgax. "-Wh...-who are you? I've never heard you before..." Ben asked confused.
"I am Azmuth, one of the smartest galvans in history. And creator of the Omnitrix. You have the potential to become a great hero, but unfortunately... -your current form is not enough to destroy that armor. It'll take FOREVER to do that! You're pretty good for a boy in alien form, but Vilgax is too strong. Using your current form will not help you much, and the Omnitrix is almost out of charge."
"-O...-OUT OF CHARGE?! -WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! -YOU MEAN THIS THING'S ABOUT TO SHUT DOWN?! -I..-I CAN'T AFFORD THAT! -NOT RIGHT NOW! -WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!"
"Take this, you REAAALLLLLYYYYYYY NEED IT NOW. And hold it up near the Omnitrix, then it will do the rest."
Ben was right, he couldn't afford to time out now. Luckily, Azmuth was there to help him. A small door on the bottom of the ship slid open, out came a small light blue crystal that fell near Ben. Who grabbed it and took a look at it.
"W...what's this?"
"It's an energy crystal, place it near the Omnitrix! -NOW!"
So Ben did, then the Omnitrix's front slid open in half like 2 sliding doors. Inside, there was a place that seemed like where the crystal should be put. "-WHOA!" Ben said in shock, then the crystal went inside the Omnitrix as it's front slid back whole again.
*Crystal being put inside the Omnitrix sounds!* *-OMNITRIX SOUNDS!-*
Afterwards, the Omnitrix glowed light blue. Then... -LIGHT BLUE ENERGY BEAMS SCATTERED ACROSS! Vilgax got hit first! Shortly after, his armor and other equipment shut down. And he felt weak and unable to move. Pretty soon, the other beams did the same thing to the drones, lackeys, the ship and everything else Vilgax owned!
"-W...-what happened?!" Ben asked, "I found that crystal somewhere in my ship. I thought I'd lost it, and when I found it I decided to give it to you because you were the one that needed it the most. Please note that it can only be used ONCE... which means that the crystal is NOT inside the Omnitrix anymore. It already disappeared." replied Azmuth. "Wow, that was fast." Ben muttered as he looked at the Omnitrix... -which-
*Omnitrix time out beeping!*
"-UH OH-" said Ben as he tried to look for someplace safe to time out, luckily Azmuth's ship got him just in time! Then...
*Omnitrix timing out!*
"H...huh?"
Ben turned back to normal, the Omnitrix's symbol was now red. As were the 4 circular things around it. The Omnitrix was now recharging, but Ben thought it'd be worth a try to see if he couuld make it work. So he did, -nothing. I guess Ben will have to wait until the Omnitrix gets fully charged. ...-If Azmuth decides to let him keep it of course... -speaking of Azmuth-
"Hello young child."
"Uhhh... hi. Hey listen. The Omnitrix is recharging. A lil' help with Vilgax and his lackeys please?"
"That won't be necessary. Thanks to that crystal I found, Vilgax and his forces are temporarily paralyzed and weakened."
"-WAIT WHAT?! So... -we won?"
"Yes. Now all that's left to do is to take Vilgax and his lackeys away. Which my friends will do. Meanwhile, you and I are going to have a talk. I'm Azmuth by the way."
"-Wait... -YOU'RE AZMUTH?!"
"Yes, got a problem?"
"Uhhh... don't get me wrong... -but I kinda expected you to be... -a lil' bit bigger or somethin'?"
"Bigger isn't always better boy, besides... my intelligence makes up for my miniature size. But that's not the point. There is something I want to talk to you about."
"O-Ok... -what is it?"
"The Omnitrix."
Ben was now worried, I guess this is it for him. His hero days were going to be over as soon as it started, it was fun while it lasted. And at least he got to fulfill his dream of becoming a hero for a time. -Even if it was just once.
"A-Azmuth... I..."
"I know. You want to keep the Omnitrix. Look kid... you have a LOT of potential. But based on your personality... I don't think you're ready for this kind of stuff..."
"-B-b-b-b-b-b-b-but I SAVED YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS! -Isn't that ENOUGH?!"
"I'm afraid not. I am grateful that you saved me and my friends, but I can't give the Omnitrix to you. A child like you shouldn't even have that thing."
"-B-but Azmuth... -I..."
"-NO!"
Ben felt sad, he only got to be a hero once before he has to finally give the Omnitrix back to it's creator. Well, at least he got to experience using a powerful device, fighting bad guys, going to outer space and saving the universe. Now he knew he'd be a GREAT hero if Azmuth let him keep the Omnitrix.
Azmuth looked at Ben for a bit, he could see the sadness in his eyes. Azmuth thought to himself for a moment. Back in the old days, he was just like Ben. Curious, adventurous and full of dreams. He remembered when he first took up inventing things, over time that talent grew and grew over the years. Then... -he realized... -if he could make his talents grow to their full potentials, -then so could Ben. But Ben was just a 6 year old kid (Yes, 6. Some people can talk, think and whatnot at that age.), and he still had a WHOLE LOT more to learn. Then suddenly, Azmuth came up with a GREAT idea! What if he trained Ben to become the best he can be? Ben had A LOT of potential as a hero and in combat, but he would have to work his way through.
"-A... -alright... since you saved me and my friends, I'll let you keep the Omnitrix."
*GASP!* "-REALLY?!"
"Yes, you ARE using it for good after all. So eh, why not. But there is also something I'd like to give you."
"And what's that?"
"Training. I'm going to help you train to become the best superhero you could ever be! You'll unlock your full potential and will be able to do more than what you can do now. However, I must warn you that training won't be so easy as we progress. We'll work your way up to the top, so you can help a LOT of people. -And the universe! So what do you say? You up for it kid?"
"-YES!"
"Good, in that case you'll be a great superhero someday. But for now, let's get you home. I'm sure you need a rest after all that fighting. But before we do, I'll have to take off the Omnitrix first."
"-Huh?! -Why?!"
"-It's incomplete. I was in the middle of finishing the remaining features for it but Vilgax attacked. -Then you saved me, thank you for that. But now I have to finish some features that need to be put inside it. So... I'll just take this..."
In a moment, Azmuth jumped on Ben's wrist. Then he pressed stuff in the Omnitrix before it unlatched itself off of Ben's wrist. Azmuth then got it and took it somewhere so that he could add the missing features.
"-Oh wait-"
"Huh?"
"-I thought your friends said you were injured. What happened?"
"I was able to heal myself using one of my inventions, my recovery was fast because I am a small being. It takes longer for bigger beings like you to recover."
"Wow... -you really ARE a genius!"
"Heh. Now, if you'll excuse me..."
*Chhk-chhk. -Fsshhhhtttt.*
[A few minutes later...]
Azmuth's ship had now landed somewhere on Earth not too far from where Ben lived, Ben was starting to get a bit worried. It had been a few minutes and Azmuth was STILL not done. "Hmmm... I wonder what's taking Azmuth so long in there... that thing must've had a LOT of missing features if it's taking him THIS long to put them." he thought. But shortly after, Azmuth came out holding the Omnitrix.
"Azmuth! You're done?"
"Yes. The Omnitrix is now complete."
"Great! So... what are the new features? -OH-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT- -actually... can you tell me all about the Omnitrix and how to use it?"
"Sure thing kid. There are 2 main functions in the Omnitrix, turning someone into 1 of 10 different transformations and reacharging when the charge runs out. Recharge mode is when the Omnitrix's power is... -well- -recharging. You'll have to wait for a while before the Omnitrix becomes fully charged again. How long the Omnitrix charge lasts depends on how much things you do while transformed. How long the Omnitrix recharges will be the same as how much the charge lasts, though the recharge time may vary from a bit slower to faster. Because... -well... -let's just say that the charge the Omnitrix uses sort of has a mind of it's own in a sense."
"Oh. Ok."
[Some Time Later...]
Azmuth was finally finished explaining every feature of the Omnitrix to Ben. Here's another heads up, this Ben's Omnitrix ISN'T the same as the others. It has less features. -MUCH LESS. Now before all of you go and ask "Why'd you nerf the Omnitrix?", it's simple. To get as much potential from this story as possible. The Omnitrixes from the actual Ben 10 show were MUCH MORE POWERFUL AND HAD MORE FEATURES, but honestly the Bens that owned them HAVEN'T used them to their full potential. I understand that if they did, they'd be overpowered. But I wish the people who made Ben 10 just tried to find a way to get around this. But there's nothing I can do about that since I'm not one of those people.
"Oh, by the way I haven't caught your name. What is it?"
"Ben."
"Well Ben, you are on the path to greatness. But you'll have to work your way through it. Fortunately, I will guide you towards every step of the way. And soon, you'll realize that you can do much more than you think if you work hard enough on it. Well, it's time for me to go. I'll see you around Ben."
"Bye Azmuth, take care."
And with that, Azmuth boarded his ship and rocketed into space. Ben was happy that Azmuth let him keep the Omnitrix, looks like his heroing career wasn't over yet! Ben knew that there would be hard challenges along his journey to becoming a great hero. But for his dream, that's something he's willing to face. And so we witness the unraveling of the beginning of a young hero's journey.
[==*The End*==]
