Alien Kid in a Monster world EP 1: And then there were heroes
An alien pod was flying through space, hurtling towards Earth as it crashes, covering it in a green flash.
Dan spins around and shows the Omnitrix with a smirk, activating as he slams on the core.
The background turns all green as Dan morphed into Four Arms, who pumps his fists with a grin.
A white number appears on the left side, starting at 1.
2: Heatblast ignites 2 fire balls in his hands.
"Dan 10."
3: XLR8 zooms into the right and speeds off.
4: Diamondhead swaps his right arm into a blade.
"Dan 10."
5: Wildvine lifts himself with his back vines as he lashes out his fingers.
6: Upgrade stretches out of his puddle form.
"Dan 10."
7: Grey Matter hops off the 7 and lands, giving a thumbs up and a smile.
8: Overflow slides in on his water blasts and raises his fists up.
"Dan 10."
9: Blitzwolfer land near the number with his fangs bared and howls out.
10: Stinkfly hovers near the number and zooms near the camera.
"DAN 10!"
Stinkfly's head turns back into Dan's as it rotates.
Dan was then seen with Frankie and the ghouls, giving 2 fist bumps to Clawdeen and Lagoona as Cleo shakes her head in slight amusement.
The teens run off in different directions as Dan towards the middle, freezing as his 10 aliens appeared around him, 5 on each side of boy.
A car carrying a trailer with bags drove past a sign that says, 'New Salem'. In the vehicle were a married couple. The man has brown, shaggy hair and green eyes while the woman is blonde with blue eyes. "Well, it took 9 long hours! But we're here! Our new home!" The man said with a smile. The car pulls up to a suburb house with a sold sign on it. The couple gets out as they look around the place, taking in the scenery. "Reminds me of Bellwood, Carl! I'm loving it here!" The woman said with a smile as the man chuckles. "Mom? Dad? Do we have to live here, now?"
"Of course, Dan! It's part of change!" The woman adds to the husband as the back door opens. "We've been over this: Your father had to move us here, because he got a new job here!" "That's right, Sandra! Working the city's gas line pipes! If we're not careful, the underground of this place could blow sky-high!"
Out steps a 10-year-old boy with spiky brown hair underneath a black and white skull cap. His green eyes were bored as the emerald on a silver chain necklace dangle from his neck. He is wearing a white t-shirt with a black stripe down the middle and sides and a green 10 on the chest. He has brown cargo pants with extra pockets on the legs with black and white shoes.
"Sounds…. Exciting, dad." He mumbles with a deadpan look. "All right. Let's get unpacking! We got lots of work to do." Carl said as they both went to unload stuff. Dan looks at the area with uncertain. "Okay, dude! You can do this! How hard is it to move to a new place?"
Later at dinner, with the house halfway done, the family were eating and talking. "Okay! Just need to finish up on a few more things and we are officially moved in!" "It's kind of weird that Kate isn't here. Whoa! Never thought I said that." The mother told the boy. "Well, she can't help it. I mean, getting accepted into an overseas school program for the gifted is so impressive! She's only going to be gone for a month. So, we already got a room set up for her! And she told us not to let you mess with it, or she'll turn your legs into pretzels! Her words, not mine."
Dan mumbles out as he places his hand under his chin. "Sounds like her." Carl adds in with a smile. "And don't worry! You'll still hang out with Grandpa Max! He's going to move his RV into the nearby trailer park, so you can visit him!" Dan smiles at the thought of his grandfather. "Well, at least one thing didn't change."
"WHAT!? What do you mean, you won't be here until the end of the month!?" Dan exclaims in shock as he sat in his new room in his sleepwear, face calling his grandfather, an elder, overweight man at 60 with greying hair, squinted eyes and a red floral shirt above a black one. "I'm sorry, Dan. But things were brought up from my old job! They need me back to supervise some new rookies. Show them the ropes."
Dan was upset as he pleaded his grandpa. "But Grandpa! I need you! I can't handle moving into a new place, all by myself!" "Dan… don't worry. Sometimes, you just have to accept that life can hand new things out to you in an unexpected way. You have to learn to just accept changes, okay sport?" Dan sighs out as he responds. "Okay, Grandpa." He shuts the computer down and flops on his bed, looking up the ceiling in thought until he drifted off to sleep.
The Tennyson car pulls up to 'New Salem Elementary.' As the kid looks out the place in uncertain. "If you want, I can walk you in?" "NO THANKS! I can handle this." Dan took a deep breath and exhales. "On my own, dad." Carl smiles as he spoke. "Okay. Have a good first day, son!" The kid stood out as the parent left. Dan looks at the school, backpack on back as he sighs. "Here goes."
The boy was in line for lunch, holding a tray as he stares at it. He did okay for the first few classes, though some people think he weird, due to being a bit shy. Until he ran into this school's version of Cash and J.T.: Jet and his goons! They "introduced" him to the school by giving a noogie and tripping him in the halls. Dan even had a 'kick me' sign stuck on his back, making his butt sore from a few strikes.
Snapping out of his thoughts, he moves to be next, getting a cheeseburger, fries and chocolate milk. As he walks off, he approaches other tables, hoping to get a seat, but the other kids turn him down. He eventually sits by himself in a lone table, eating his food in sadness. "Here's to my new life in New Salem. 'SIGH'"
After school, the boy decided to go for an evening stroll after dinner. The young kid walks with his head down and hands in pockets, thinking about his day. He also kicks a can along the way, getting more depressed. As he walks, he saw a trail and decides to go down. He eventually stops at a log and sits down, looking up at the star filled sky in sadness. "'SIGH'. I wish my life was more exciting." He breaths out.
He then saw a green streak soaring through the skies. "Nothing interesting is going to happen." Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock as the light changed directions and was barreling somewhere nearby! "What the?" He mumbles out as the light crashes nearby with a boom. The child was in awe as he rushed to the glow.
The boy emerges from the bushes and widens his eyes in shock at the small crater that trails from a fissure. Curiosity got the better of him as he slowly approaches the fresh fissure with a red glowing orb. He then realized that it wasn't a rock, but an orb of iron! "A satellite?" He slides down as the orb cools from reentry heat. As he stares at the object, he was surprised to see it opens, showing nothing. But as he took a closer look, a green glow fills, making his eyes widened in awe. The light builds to reveal an object, just sitting there. "Is that… a watch?"
It was a bulky looking watch that is colored grey on the wrist band and black ends. It has chords and a dial that were silver and green. It has 4 black squares on the faceplate, that has a green hourglass symbol with a grey background. There was an additional band of dark grey running around the center of the watch with a green button on it.
"Why would they put a watch in space?" Dan turns and was about to leave but stop as he glances back at the watch. He can't help, but being pulled to it, as if it was beckoning him to it, wanting the boy to wear it. "Well… it couldn't hurt to put it on for a bit." He slowly walks up and stretches out his left hand, carefully about to grab the device…. ONLY FOR IT TO JUMP UP AND CLAMPS ON HIS WRIST!
"AAHHHH! GET OFF ME! GET OFF ME! GET OFF ME!" He shakes his arm frantically as he stumbles around, trying to pull it off, but to no anvil. He quickly climbs out and runs away. "MOM! DAD! HELP!"
Carl glances at the clock and out the window. "Hmm… Dan's been gone for a while. He must have got caught up in something." "As long as he didn't run into the…. You know, 'other side of town.'" Sandra spoke as the man assures his wife. "Now, now…. I'm sure he wouldn't do something that crazy."
Dan kept bashing the rock on the watch, trying to smash it off. Only for it to break as the watch was still on. He then tries to pry it off with a stick. Only for it to break as well. "Great." He sits down in frustration as he glances at the gadget. He then notices the button, pushing it to make the ring pop up. "WHOA!" He looks around and saw the hourglass changed into a diamond one with a icon of a human with a flaming head and oversized forearms.
"Hmmm…. Maybe this is how you get it off." He raises a finger and touches the dial, pushing it down. But suddenly, green light erupts from the watch as the boy's eyes widened in shock. It pulsed with energy as red rocks starts spreading from it and up his arm. "AAAAHHHHHHHH!" Was all he screamed as he was engulfed in it.
An arm with an oversized forearm, made out of bright red-hot rock and magma, burst out of the pile of rocks as the same happens to the other arm. A long leg of the same lava substance with 2 long toes that are claws, with a back one as well, pops out while another did the same.
The rest of the rock burst away, revealing a torso and slightly tilted shoulder plates. The head was the last to break free. It was now a face plate with eye sockets and lines connecting them to the fire around his head. A symbol of the green hourglass with a black background and grey dial appeared on his chest. Dan looks at his new arms in shock and surprise and did the only thing a 10-year-old could do: SCREAM! "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" [OS + OV Heatblast by NECRODARKUS]
"I'M ON FIRE! I'M ON FIRE! I'M ON FIRE!" Dan screams in his new deep voice, running around like a scared chicken. But he then realized something. "Hey…. I'm on fire, yet I'm fine! This is so awesome! I'm like a fire monster!" He then saw a branch and back at his hand, getting an idea. "All right… here goes!" He thrusts his hand out, making a fireball blast the wood off. "WHOA! Fire powers! Now that's what I'm talking about."
He notices a big rock and puts his hands together, making a bigger flame orb. "Liking this!" He chucks it at the boulder, blowing it to pieces. "AWWWW YEAH! This is so cool! This watch device can turn me into a flame guy! This is amazing! This is incredible! This…" He then smells something burning, making him look back and widens his eyes sockets at a forest fire being started. "THIS IS REALLY BAD!"
He then tries to stomp it out, only for it to worsen. "Okay, man! You can handle this! Just take a deep breath and think through this." But he saw something amazing as he breathes! The fire around him was getting absorbed into his mouth, as if he's breathing it all back in! "WAIT! I can absorb fire!? Yes! Just want I needed!" He holds his hands out and focus on drawing the flames around, taking a deep breath as it works. The last of the flames were put out as Dan saw a burned part of the woods, but no raging fire. "Well… that happened."
Dan snuck through town, stuck in his fire mutant form. As he avoids other people and cops, he made back to his house. Only to freeze on what to do! "How am I going to convince Mom and Dad that it's me?!" Just then, the symbol starts blinking red for a while, making a flash of red light that dies down to reveal a normal Dan Tennyson, except the watch color was now red." Hey… I'm myself! It must have been a time limit on this thing." He spoke as he glances at the watch.
Just then, the door open, making him look up to his mom. "Dan! There you are! Where were you?" "Oh! I…. got lost?" The woman smiles as she hugs her son. "Well, I'm glad you're safe, Dan!" She then notices the watch. "What's that?" The boy looks at the watch, deciding to keep it to himself since he has no idea what to do, or how to explain it. "It's just something I got at an arcade before we left our old town. A trinket to remember it by. Decided to put it on while I was gone." "Hmm... never saw a watch like that before."
As Dan lies on his bed in his PJs, he stares at the watch as thoughts rolls around his head. "What are you?" He question to the device as it's dial shined. He decides to sleep on it for tomorrow, which is a Saturday.
The next day came as Dan's parents went out to do some errands, giving their boy a chance to go back to the woods to a secret place. He looks at the watch as he examines it, coming across the button and pushing it. As the icon shifts into the fire form, he notices the dial can be twisted. He rotates it, only for the icon to change into a different one. "WHOA! There's more?!" He exclaims in shock.
He keep rotating, counting the forms until he's back on the fire icon. "10 forms. I have 10 forms to choose from?! Man, I wonder which one I should… NO WAY!?" He exclaims in surprise and amazement. "This guy has 4 arms?!" BEEP "And a werewolf?!" BEEP "And some sort of bug thing." BEEP "Ohhh…. This guy looks tough!" He glances around to see no one looking, smirking as he looks at the icon. "Okay, big guy! Let's see what you got!" He slaps the watch down, making a flash of green light.
The watch starts spreading pale, green crystal that spreads from the boy's arm to the rest of his body as he got bigger and buffer. His other arm went through the process as 2 huge, blade like spikes pops out of his back. His head was engulfed as it became a strong jawed one out of the crystal as a crest form on the back of his head. His all-green eyes shined as he poses.
Dan is now a silicon-based life form. His body is composed of durable pale green crystals. He sports 2 crystal shards on his back and has a sharp head. He wears a sleeveless suit that is white with a black "V" stripe on the middle of his torso. He has black pants and white on the soles and a green belt to separate the shirt and pants. He lastly has the watch symbol on his chest. "WHOA! THIS IS COOL!" He exclaims in a deep, adult-like voice.
"I wonder what he does?" He looks at his arms and noticed how strong they are, seeing a nearby tree. He rears a fist and punches it, smashing it into 2. "Super strength: Got it!" His arm then turns into a blade, forming more spikes as he smirks. "I can make weapons out of myself?" He holds his left hand out, only to fire some shards that perches through a tree. "And fire diamond shards? Now that is an awesome power!"
But just then, a laser blast from nowhere blasted at him, only for it bounce off into the air. "And an indestructible body? I'm liking this guy! But where did that beam came from?" "Hand over the Omnitrix." He looks up to see, orange and red saucer like robot drones with multiple arms hovering above him.
"Whoa! Didn't see that coming." "Surrender the Omnitrix." The alien was confused as he spoke to himself. "'Omnitrix?' What is…. Wait! The watch! Is that what's it called? Sorry Tin cans! The watch and I are attached to each other!" "New objective: bring subject back for removal and disposal." "Oh… no! I'm not going anywhere!"
The robots blasted lasers as the alien blocks with his arms, only to form a shield as the beams reflected back, blasting all but 2 to bits of metal. "All right! Now we're talking!" He retracts his shields and forms maces as the 2 bots charged at him, only to be smashed to bits by the alien.
"Now that was so cool! Score one for Dan Tennyson!" But just then, a rumbling got his attention, looking around in surprise when a bunch of trees were knocked down. Dan turns and was surprised by a bigger, more humanoid version of the other robots. "Uh oh. Looks like I hit the boss level!" He exclaims in shock as the machine tower at him.
It fires some lasers as Dan runs and dodges. He then thrusts his fists out, firing shards that hits the bot, sticking it in its chest. it staggers back, only to leap up and twirl's it's legs and slams down onto Dan. "Uh-oh! I think I'm in trouble here!" Just as he stood up, the robot grabs him and slams him down on the ground and then tries to rip off his right arm. But Dan quickly forms the limb into a bunch of spikes, blowing the limb off as the robot glances at it and blasts the boy turned alien into some trees.
As the crystal alien recovers and staggers out of the debris, he then noticed one of the shards in the giant robot's chest reflected the sun off, giving him an idea as he runs up to the big machine of doom. "Come on! Put one right here!" He taunts as he points at his neck as the robot fires, only for him to catch the beam and puts some spikes on his feet, keeping a firm hold. "LET'S SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT; YOU PILE OF SCRAP!" He reflects the beam back, destroying the head as it falls apart and blows up. Dan looks at the pile of scrap and smiles at victory. "AW YEAH! DIAMONDHEAD FOR THE WIN! Hey, Diamondhead! That's a pretty good name."
Dan was walking back home as he smiles and stares at the watch, now knowing it's called the Omnitrix. "Man! That was so awesome! I was badder than bad! And with a killer one-liner as well to boot! YEAH! I wonder what these other aliens can do?! Can't wait to find out!" He spoke as looks up, only to see some fire engines drove past him in a hurry.
But he noticed something was off about the engines. They had fanged bumpers and clawed hands on the front and back wheels with the hose like a tail and sharp spike on the top of the ladders. "Since when do fire engines look like monster cars?" He decides to follow them, running as fast as he could. He follows the engines down to where some smoke can be seen, making the boy cut through an alley.
He reaches the end, only to gasp in surprise as an apartment building on fire! He notices the crowd is made up of all sorts costumed people that looks like monsters. Only when he got a closer look, he realized that they ARE monsters! "Whoa! Monsters!? Real monsters?! No way!" "PLEASE! YOU NEED TO LET US IN!" Dan turns his eyes to a vampire couple as they pleaded to a fire jacket werewolf. "We're sorry, miss! We can't get in with this intense fire." "But our daughter is in there!" The woman pleads with tears as the man spoke. "She's only 600 years old!"
Dan looks at the couple and at the building. He then felt something he haven't felt before: Determination and courage! He looks at the Omnitrix and moves down the alley, dialing to the flame alien and slaps it down.
Only to noticed that he wasn't the fire guy, but another alien! He is a red metallic alien. He has two containers filled with water on his head and has black mask-like markings around his green eyes. He has 2 tubes of water reaching from a respirator where his mouth should be to his back. His forearms are filled with water. He has black three-fingered hands and two black toes on each foot. He has white torso and pelvis with a large black strip on his chest, much like his shirt, and a green with white belt around his waist. He has the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
"Awww, jeeze! I wanted Heatblast! Not a random new guy! FINE! I can work with this… But better take the back way, just to be safe."
Inside the burning building, Dan navigates through the inferno while avoiding falling debris. "HELLO! LITTLE GIRL!? I'M HERE TO HELP!" Just then, a beam fell in front of him, making him leap back in shock as holds his arms in front, only for 2 streams of water to blast out and douses some flames. Dan looks at his forearms in surprise. "I'm the world's most powerful water hose? Now that's handy!" Just then, he heard a cry as he follows the sound to a kid's bedroom.
The little vampire girl, in bat pjs and holding a stuffed bear doll, was scared as she cries at the raging flames. Just then, some ceiling beams fell, about to crush her as she closes her eyes. But she doesn't feel anything! She opens them, only to gasp in shock at Dan, holding the wood up with his strength. "Who are you?" "I'm here to save you!" He tosses it away and picks the girl up, running out as she holds onto the robot being.
Dan made it into the hallway, looking around and saw a window. "Kid! Hang on tight! It's going to be a bumpy ride!" He dashes at it as the little girl clutch on his tubes. Dan fires a huge stream of water and blasts a hole. He leaps out and fall, only to fires his pressurized water down, propelling him to land safely. The little girl keep her eye clutch, only to not feel any heat, opening them to see they were outside as Dan holds and sets her down. "There! Safe and sound, kid!"
"ELIZA!" The parents ran up and scoops the girl up as they hug and cries in relief. "You saved our baby girl! Thank you!" The woman thanks Dan, who eye smiles and waves a hand. "It wasn't nothing! But I'm just getting started!" He turns around and fires 2 streams that combined into a big one! The water rains down on the building, dousing all the fire until there was none. The crowd cheers and applause at the alien as he turns back.
"You're welcome! And call me… Overflow!" He then rockets away as the group of monsters all cheers while the little girl smiles and waves at him. "Thank you, MR. Overflow!" In the crowd, a ghostly teen with a wavy, purple hair records the whole thing on her phone. "I just got the scoop of the century!"
Dan has just finished dinner as he went to his room and change into his P.J.s. As he sat in his bed, he glances at the Omnitrix and smiles at the recent events. Things maybe crazy before, but his wish was granted! In a weird cosmic kind of way. "I think this is the start of something amazing." He tucks in and goes to sleep, lulling off to dreamland.
In an office at night, a woman is looking over some last-minute papers before going home. But just then, a ring from her laptop caught her attention. Going to it, she clicks on the video link to see footage from the fire. As Overflow lands on the screen, the woman gasps as he eyes widened in shock. "A Cascan!? That's impossible! They live in the Andromeda Galaxy! Wait…." She pauses the video and zooms in on the watch symbol. "Why does he have a badge?" Putting some thought in, she went to her phone and dials in a number, waiting for the other line to pick up. "Hello? Max? It's Grace Bloodgood. I know it's been a while since we last caught up, but I need to speak with you! You need to see this video."
