[==-Episode 5: Welcome To The Animo Kingdom-==]

Inside the dimension that Vilgax took Ben in, there lived a certain villain. His home was a secret underground lab inside that dimension. This villain would spend a LOT of time studying and experimenting on animals, -and sometimes other living things. This villain was none other than... -Dr. Animo. Animo had been experimenting on living beings for a bit now, -ESPECIALLY ON ANIMALS. He caused A LOT of trouble in the dimension Vilgax took Ben in, and wreaked havoc with the help of his mutants. By the way, I'm going to give a makeshift name to the dimension Vilgax took Ben in since I don't know it's name either. I'll just simply call it "the alternate dimension".

Right now, Animo was looking at the information of all the animals and other living things he had right now. The number of animals and other living things he could experiment on was enough to wreak havoc, but he wasn't satisfied. He LOVED experimenting on animals and other living things, and he'd do CRAZY THINGS to get more of those. But... animals and other living things WEREN'T the ONLY thing Animo was currently working on... Animo is also building a device right now. It's called... -the Transmodulator. The Transmodulator is basically outfit accessories, the first half is worn on the head. It looked like a very big bowl with long antennaes, wiring and stuff. The second half is worn on the body, it was basically 4 straps with a big circular thing on the front with a dial. The Transmodulator can be used to mutate animals and other living things, and restore them back to normal if the user wanted to. There's was just one thing though, -it mutates RANDOMLY. Which means the user can't mutate anything in a specific way. For example, let's say we have 2 animals. If the Transmodulator is used on the first animal it would mutate. The same thing would happen to the second animal, but the mutation WON'T be the same. Who knows? Maybe the first animal will have 2 heads and the second one will have 10 arms. Animo was working on how to fix this feature, but for now... -this is what he was stuck with. Not like it made him less DANGEROUS anyway...

"Hmm... I'm going to need better test subjects than the ones I have. I need to create stronger, more dangerous and MORE POWERFUL mutants! Luckily... I know where to get some of those... -HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

[Now... as for Ben...]

Our hero is currently in his home reading animal books. And who dosen't love animals? Love knowing all about them I mean, you wouldn't wanna touch or even go near some of them. Some animals even cause you trouble like wasps, hornets, spiders and stuff. But anyways, enough about that. Let's get on with the story. Oh- -and if you're wondering what our Ben's favorite animal is... -it's the giraffe. Their height and long necks made them 2 steps a-"head" on eating from above. Pun intended. What about you? What's YOUR favorite animal?

Anyways, Ben read the animal book he was reading for a while. Once he was done he closed the book, put it down and thought for a bit. "Hmm. I wonder what kinds of animals live outside other than birds and small insects. Maybe I should go outside. Who knows, maybe I'll even find some bad guy to stop along the way." Ben thought, he thought about this idea for a while. After that, he decided it was time to check out nature. Even for just a bit.

After a little while, Ben did all the stuff he needed to do -including putting on his disguise- -before heading out. "Well, time to check out nature." he said as he kept on walking. Ben had walked for some time and looked at some nooks and crannies before stopping to rest on a log. Once he sat down he muttered "Time for a rest.". While he was resting, he saw lots of birds that were perched on a tree branch. They were looking at each other and relaxing. "That's a lotta birds." Ben thought as he kept on watching them. A little while later, more birds came. But the one that caught Ben's attention was the one that landed on what seemed to be a nest. The bird had some worms in it's mouth, so that meant it had babies. "Oh look, a mother bird." Ben continued in his mind as he watched what the mother bird was doing. When the mother bird landed on her nest, the hungry chicks cheeped for food. The mother bird gave them the worms as they greedily gobbled it all up.

Ben just smiled a bit as he watched the mother bird care for her babies, but shortly after he could see some people walking by. They had CHAINSAWS in their hands! It was pretty clear what they were here for. -To get wood so that they could be turned into wood products. Here's the thing though, the place where Ben was at right now DIDN'T allow cutting trees. And Ben knew this. "Maganda tong mga punong ito. Pwede natin ibenta pag nagawa na nating kahoy ang mga yan." a voice said, it was one of the people who brought chainsaws. "Oo. Putulin na natin." said another voice, before someone else started to turn on a chainsaw. But before any of the trees could end up being cut, Ben went over to the chainsaw people and said "Huy, bawal magputol ng puno dito!". The chainsaw people ignored him, so Ben repeated "Huy, bawal magputol ng puno dito!". But the chainsaw people still ignored him. Ben repeated what he said for a few more times until one of the chainsaw people said "HOY BATA! MANAHIMIK KA NA NGA! UMALIS KA NA DITO!". To which Ben responded with "BAWAL MAGPUTOL NG PUNO DITO!". "NARINIG MO BA KO?! SABI NG UMALIS KA EH!"" the chainsaw person who spoke to Ben yelled out, Ben responded with "WAG NYONG PUTULIN ANG MGA PUNO DITO! BAWAL!". "ANONG GAGAWIN MO?!" the chainsaw person retorted angrily. "-ITO!" Ben said back as he activated the Omnitrix and turned into Wildvine!

*Omnitrix transformation noises!*

Once Ben was transformed, the chainsaw people were shocked and screamed. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! HALIMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" one of them yelled, then the chainsaw people all tried to run away. But Ben grabbed them by stretching his arm and wrapping them in it! Then Ben pulled them closer and said "BAWAL MAGPUTOL NG PUNO DITO!" in an angry voice, before lightly throwing them away. The chainsaw people yelled again and ran. When they were far enough, Ben turned back to normal. "And stay out." he chuckled. Looks like Ben saved mother nature, or at least a part of it. But still saved.

Ben was about to keep on walking, but then suddenly... he could hear what seemed to be a jet plane or something. When he looked up, he saw that it wasn't a jet plane. -But Azmuth's ship! "Oh, it's Azmuth's ship. There must be trouble happening elsewhere." Ben thought as the ship landed right in front of him. When the ship's door opened, it revealed Azmuth. Who said "Ben, get in.". "Alright, what's the trouble this time?" Ben asked, "There's no trouble this time, I just need you in the ship."
Azmuth replied. "What for?" Ben asked again, "I have something I want to talk to you about." Azmuth replied again. "Alright." said Ben as he got in the ship, which started up then blasted into space!

*-FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*

[In Outer Space...]

Once the ship was in outer space, Ben asked "So... Azmuth... what did you want to tell me about?". "Alright..." Azmuth muttered and started speaking.

"Ben, I know this will be a bit hard for you but... -me and my friends can't always be with you anymore."

"Oh. Uh... -why?"

"We... -have a lot on our plate right now. So we can't always help you. I'm sorry Ben, but this will mean that you'll have to do some missions on your own."

"Wait, if you guys can't help me... -then... -how am I supposed to go to that barren wasteland dimension?! I need you guys to get there when there's danger! What if I needed to go somewhere and you guys can't help me?!"

"Don't worry, one of the reasons I brought you here is to work on the Omnitrix. In fact, I'm thinking of adding a feature that can send you to wherever there's trouble."

"You mean... -like... -teleporting or something?"

"Yes."

"COOOOOOOOOOOOOL! But wait, what if I needed you guys' help?! What if there's something I don't know how to do?! -Or don't know how to fix?! Look, I may be a hero, but I'm still a kid too! You guys can't leave me hangin'!"

"Don't worry Ben we'll teach you everything you need to know. You may not know everything or be the greatest warrior, but the things we'll teach you will make sure that you'll be able to hold your own out there in the long run."

"-B...-but Azmuth... -I'm just a kid... -I-I-I-I-I-I don't know if I'll be able to do some SUPER CRAZY stuff or somethin' like that!"

"Don't worry Ben, you may be a kid... -but with a little help... -you'll be able to do SO MUCH MORE than you ever imagined!"

"-R...-really?!"

"Yes. Now, I'm going to need the Omnitrix."

"Oh yeah- -here you go."

And so Azmuth proceeded to add some new features in the Omnitrix, and he and his friends taught Ben everything he needed to know. After that, Ben was sent back to his home planet. Once Ben got home, he did the usual things he did before stopping to sit inside the house. Deep down inside, Ben was DOUBTING HIMSELF. He wasn't sure he'd be able to "hold his own" like Azmuth said, but he had to. Azmuth and his friends were a bit busy now, and might not be able to help him as much as they used to. Aside from doubting himself, Ben also became worried. But sometimes, doubt and worry can get into a hero's life... -ESPECIALLY A SUPERHERO'S.

(In Ben's Mind): "...what am I gonna do?! Azmuth and his friends can't help me as much anymore! What if I needed them?! What if SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME and THEY DIDN'T KNOW?! -HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ASK FOR HELP?! Oh man..."

Ben continued to think while he was sitting, but his thoughts were interrupted when he heard a familiar beeping.

*Omnitrix beeping noises!*

It was the Omnitrix, there was trouble somewhere. Ben quickly put on his disguise, grabbed and wore the Omnitrix, disguised it and turned on the clone. After he did all that, the Omnitrix teleported him somewhere!

*-Teleportation noises!*

Once Ben was teleported he looked around, he saw that he was teleported into the barren wasteland dimension. Or as I call it, "The alternate dimension". "W-WAIT! NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO-NO! -THERE'S DANGEROUS STUFF IN HERE LIKE THOSE MEGAWATTS! -GET ME OUTTA HERE!" yelled Ben as he tried finding ways to get out. "-C'mon! -Get me outta here!" Ben said to the Omnitrix as he fiddled around with it, only for nothing to happen. After that, Ben tried everything he could to get out of the alternate dimension. But he couldn't. After a while of doing this, Ben just stopped and looked at his surroundings. It didn't look SO GOOD. The skies were DIRTY BROWN and you could see dust fly by. WRECKED STUFF could also be seen! "Oh man... -I CAN'T GET OUT!" Ben muttered as he tried looking for ways to get out again, but he couldn't find anything that would help him. Finally giving up, Ben just groaned "Ugh, fine!" and went on to do the mission that was given to him. The mission was to find Dr. Animo and stop his plan of wreaking havoc. Ben saw the notification on the Omnitrix a little while back while he was fiddling with it. Ben may have dreamed of becoming a hero, but he'd never thought his dreams WOULD ACTUALLY COME TRUE. Now that it did, he was a bit surprised to see that his adventures WEREN'T really the same with TV shows and other fictional stuff. But still... -Ben sorta knew that if he ever actually achieved his dreams, then he would have to overcome some bad things before he could become just like the superheroes everyone sees in fiction and stuff like that. But honestly, can you BLAME Ben?! He'd NEVER THOUGHT HIS DREAMS WOULD ACTUALLY COME TRUE. -And now that they did he'd have to face the realities of that dream, like how he's STILL A PERSON and wasn't the SUPER EXTREME kind of guy. Anyone can dream to be a superhero, but remember that people STILL have FEARS and other qualities that make them HUMAN.

"Looks like that Animo freak's back. Gotta find him before he turns this dimension into his own zoo!" said Ben as he looked around. "-HEY ANIMO! -WHERE ARE YOU?! -IT'S ME! -THE GUY WHO KICKED YOUR BUTT BACK AT THE SEA NEAR MY HOME! -SO COME OUT AND FACE ME!" Ben yelled, but.. -to his surprise... -NO ONE ANSWERED OR SHOWED UP. "-A... -Animo? It's me... -the guy who kicked your butt... -y'know... -back at the sea...?" Ben tried again, -still no Animo or mutants. "Do I have to find him or what?!" Ben muttered, then he thought "Wait a second, the message on the Omnitrix said I had to find Dr. Animo. Does that mean I have to ACTUALLY FIND HIM?! -WHERE AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO FIND HIM IN THIS KIND OF PLACE?! NO ONE CAN LIVE HERE. -It's a BARREN WASTELAND!". Here's a fact about the Omnitrix, our Ben's Omnitrix can now teleport into places where trouble is brewing. But Ben would STILL have to FIND the trouble. Sometimes it'll be near, but sometimes it'll be FAR. Hey don't look at me, AZMUTH was the one who worked on that thing not me.

Ben tried looking for Animo in the spot where he was, when he didn't find anything he realized that the Omnitrix REALLY wanted him to FIND Animo. So he started to run and look everywhere for signs of the madman. But all he could see were nothing but wrecked stuff. "How the HELL am I supposed to find Animo in this kind o' place?! He WOULDN'T EVEN wanna LIVE HERE!" said Ben, "Gotta keep finding." he continued as he kept on looking everywhere.

Ben ran and looked everywhere for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME, but he couldn't find Animo anywhere! He was starting to think something was wrong with the Omnitrix or maybe he should've stayed in the spot where he was teleported and should've tried harder to find Animo there. No. He DID check everywhere in the spot where he was teleported, and he was also checking out as much things as he can as he was running. -Maybe Animo was just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FAR AWAY. "Man... -WHERE IS ANIMO?! -Should've seen him by now! Either he's REEEAAALLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYY GOOD at hiding from me or he's SO FAR AWAY." said Ben as he stopped running. He looked everywhere for more signs of Animo. He didn't find any, -but SOMETHING ELSE caught his attention...

"Huh?! What's that?" said Ben as he looked over, -it was... -a broken down abandoned barn?! "Huh, that's weird. That barn seems to look better than ANYTHING ELSE around here. Maybe I should go check it out." Ben continued as he walked over to the barn. When he got inside, he saw a flash of white light! "Huh? What's this? Is that... -a portal?" he muttered as he went closer to it to check it out. It was indeed a portal, but Ben didn't know where it led to. "Hmm... I wonder if I..." Ben thought as he stuck his hand inside the portal, he pulled his hand away for a bit just in case. Then, once he saw that nothing happened he went into the portal.

Ben was teleported into a place that looked familiar. It looked more like his world, but he wasn't sure if it WAS his world. No, it couldn't be. He was on an ALTERNATE DIMENSION. Maybe he was just in a place that was part of the alternate dimension that looked like his world? "WHOAAAAAAAAAAA! This... this place looks like MY world! B...-but is it? Or is this just one of the places that look like my world but isn't? Well, I came from the portal. So this must be a part of this dimension."
he said as he looked around. Ben found out that he was on a cobblestone path, when he looked to his right he saw a bridge with lots of vehicles passing by. He also saw that the skies were blue and there were no dust flying around whatsoever. Ben then turned back to check if the portal was there, -only to find out that... -IT WAS GONE! "Hey, where's the portal?!" he asked as he looked around but didn't find it. "HEY WAIT! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO BACK TO THE BARREN WASTELAND?!" Ben continued as he kept on finding the portal, unfortunately the portal was gone. So he just muttered "Ugh, fine. I guess I'll just find Animo here." and started to run again.

As Ben was running, he could see that wherever he ended up in was indeed very much like his world. Cities, buildings, vehicles and other things you'd normally see were there. But how could things like these EXIST WITH THE DANGEROUS BARREN WASTELAND?! I'm surprised that nothing SO BAD has HAPPENED to the place Ben was teleported to. But now that I think about it... the thing that seperated the barren wasteland and the peaceful world was that PORTAL... -WHICH WAS HIDDEN IN A BARN. -But STILL, wouldn't bad guys just USE THE PORTAL?! Well, I guess that wouldn't be a problem anymore because the portal is gone.

(In Ben's Mind): "-WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! This place looks like MY WORLD! But... wouldn't VILLAINS just WRECK this place?! I'm SURPRISED that this place hasn't been wrecked yet. Oh well, looks like that won't be a problem anymore. -'Cuz that portal's gone."

As Ben continued to run and explore the place, he saw more things that you'd see in your world. Shops, resturants, parking spaces, traffic lights, houses and things like that. "I don't get it, this place dosen't seem all that dangerous." said Ben as he kept on exploring.

Meanwhile, that crazy madman Animo was at a zoo right now. He was looking at all the different animals that were living in there. "Wuahahahahahahahahahaaaaa! All these creatures will be PERFECT for making a mutant animal army... -WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" he said as he began walking towards them.

As for Ben, he already ran for a while. He saw all the things you'd usually see in your world, but couldn't find Dr. Animo. "Oh man, I've been running for a while now and I STILL can't find Animo!" he said as he kept on running, then he stopped and thought "Alright, I've been tryna find that Animo guy for a while now but I can't find him! Maybe I need to look for him in the places he'd most probabaly be at. Now... if I was Animo... -where would I go?". Ben thought for a while, before saying "-AHA! I GOT IT! THE GUY EXPERIMENTS ON ANIMALS! He used sea creatures against me back at the sea! And now he's probably making EVEN MORE DANGEROUS MUTANT ANIMALS OR SOMETHIN'! HE'S PROBABLY AT THE ZOO!". After thinking, all Ben had to do now was to find a zoo. But where? Oh well, he'd just have to keep on running to find one.

[Some Time Later...]

It took a LONG time, but eventually Ben did manage to find a zoo. "Well, I found a zoo. Time to get in and find Animo." he said as he opened the gates and went through them before closing them back up. "WHOOAAAAAA..." said Ben as he looked around, visiting a zoo can be fun. Just don't do anything stupid or bad with the animals in there. Anyway, Ben started exploring around in the zoo. While doing this, he thought "There's so many places here... how will I know where Animo is right now? Oh well, guess I'll just have to go from place to place 'till I find him.". And so that's what he did.

Ben went through almost all the places in the zoo, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and the like. But still no Animo. "Where IS he?!" Ben said as he kept on searching. "I think I gotta go back to some of the places I already looked, he might be in one of them already and I don't even know it." he continued as he went back to the mammals section.

Once Ben got back there, he opened the gates and went through. Then he started finding Animo in there again. Speaking of Animo, he was transferring animals from their enclosures to his truck using a tranquilizer gun. This gun shot darts that would make any animal fall asleep for a while, giving him enough time to load them into his truck and take them to his lab before he begins mutating and unleashing them to wreak havoc. As Animo was doing all this, he didn't realize that a certain young boy was about to walk right into where he was!

That certain young boy was Ben, when he saw Animo he was SHOCKED and hid. "AHA! Found him!" he muttered, "What's he doing?!" he added as he peeped to see what it was. Animo was shooting animals with tranquilizer darts and taking them to his truck. Ben gasped and said "I know one animal that Animo WON'T be addin' to his collection!" before activating the Omnitrix and turning the dial to Wildmutt. -Then...

*-OMNITRIX TRANSFORMATION NOISES!*

"-HUH?!" said Animo as he saw a flash of blue light, then came out a big dog-like creature covered in light blue fur with a light blue tail.

*-WILDMUTT ROARING NOISES!*

It was Ben as Wildmutt. "H-H-HUH?! W-WHAT IS THAT?! IT DOSEN'T LOOK NORMAL!" said Animo, Ben ROARED in response and CHARGED AT HIM! "OW!" Animo yelled as he got tackled and pinned to the ground! Ben roared again, making Animo shake in fear a bit before saying "-GET OFF ME YOU STUPID MANGY MUTT!" and KICKING HIM OFF!

*-BAP! -ROOOAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! -SLAM!*

Ben landed on the ground with a THUD, Animo tried shooting him with the tranquilizer gun but Ben jumped and tried clawing his foot. Ben didn't manage to do so but did end up whacking Animo's foot making him fall! "AGH!" yelled Animo as he fell down. Ben tried to pound him but he got KICKED IN THE STOMACH instead! Making him whine! Animo then tried firing more tranquilizer darts, but Ben avoided them and tried clawing at him again! Ben missed again, and Animo got the chance to punch his face and kick him in the stomach again! "-RRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" said Animo as he punched and kicked Ben a couple more times before throwing him!

*WHAP! Wildmutt whining noises!*

Ben got up and growled, but Dr. Animo said "BACK OFF! Or I will shoot this tranquilizer gun at you!". Ben just roared in response and he tried charging at Animo again! Animo then fired a couple more darts but Ben avoided them by jumping! As Ben was falling down he STOMPED on Animo and pinned him to the ground! But Animo just punched him on the side of his neck and threw him off again! "I'm going to add you to my collection of mutants you mangy mutt!" Animo yelled as he fired more darts, Ben avoided them and managed to BITE Animo's sleeveless shirt! "-GET OFF ME YOU LITTLE-" said Animo as he tried to push Ben away, but Ben just ended up RIPPING his sleeveless shirt a bit! Animo looked at his shirt, then he looked at Ben and said "...This... ends... now..." as he fired LOTS of tranquilizer darts at him! Ben dodged every single one of the darts before JUMPING FORWARD AND KICKING ANIMO!

*-WHAP!* "-OOF!" *-THUD-*

Animo was sent flying across and landed on the ground. He and Ben were about to fight again when some MEN ran towards them. One of them were holding a tranquilizer gun!
"W-W-W-W-W-W-WHAT IS THAT?!" one of the men said, "I don't know, but we better shoot it!" said the man with the tranquilizer gun as he tried firing at Ben. Who jumped up and dodged the dart! Ben then SWATTED Animo and turned back to normal and yelled "-WAIT! -DON'T SHOOT! -I CAN TURN INTO CREATURES AND I'M HERE TO HELP! -THAT MAN IS DOING SOMETHING BAD! -HE'S GONNA STEAL ANIMALS AND TURN THEM INTO MUTANTS!". One of the men said "-W-WHAT?!" in confusion, "I-I-I... -I DON'T BELIEVE IT! -IT'S A KID!" added the man with the tranquilizer gun. "-LISTEN, YOU GOTTA HELP ME. PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYONE THAT I'M A SUPERHERO THAT CAN TURN INTO CREATURES. ALSO, THAT MAN'S GONNA STEAL EVERY ANIMAL HE CAN AND TURN THEM INTO MUTANTS! -STOP HIM BEFORE HE DOES THAT!" Ben yelled, when he turned around he saw that Dr. Animo already stood up. He didn't seem to hear the conversation Ben had with the men as he was swatted a bit far away, but he fired more darts Ben's way! "-LOOK OUT!" Ben yelled as he tackled the 2 men and got them on the ground, making he and them avoid getting SHOT! "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" the 2 men yelled as they fell on the ground.

"-WHERE IS THAT MUTT?!" said Animo as he looked around, but he didn't find anything. "I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS! I've got animals to steal and mutate back at the lab." Animo continued as he tranquilized more animals. One of the men said "STOP! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TRANQUILIZE THOSE ANIMALS!", but Animo just PULLED OUT A SMALL LASER BLASTER and started FIRING AT THEM!

*PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW!* "-AAAAGHHHHHH!" "-WHOOOAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The 2 men fell down again. As for Ben, he ran away to hide and transform.

*-OMNITRIX TRANSFORMATION NOISES!-*

Ben turned into Wildmutt again, once he was transformed he ran back to where Dr. Animo and the men were. As for Animo, he tried to run. But he was stopped when all of a sudden... -the "mangy mutt" he was talking about earlier TACKLED HIM!

*-RRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!* "-HUH?!- -AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-OOF!" *-Wildmutt yelping sounds!* *POOMF!*

After Animo fell down, he looked behind him to see Ben about to pound him! He kicked Ben off of him and fired lasers! Ben hit a rock fence and got laser blasts to the body! Which made him whine a bit. "You should have stayed hidden when you had the chance you mangy mutt! Now, you will become part of my army of mutants." said Dr. Animo, "I don't think so!" Ben replied back in Wildmutt language as he jumped up and kicked Animo again! Animo fell down, then he got right back up and punched Ben in the face! This made Ben ANGRY, as he GROWLED and tried to BITE ANIMO. "AAH!" Animo yelled as he dodged and kicked Ben across before firing more lasers at him!

*-CHOMP!* "AAH!" *-BAP! -PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-*

Ben whined as he held up his arms to try and block as many lasers as possible, but this wasn't enough. So he jumped and tried to kick Animo again, only this time Animo was ABLE TO AVOID HIM and throw a couple of punches!

*-BAP! -BAP! -BAP! -More Wildmutt whining noises!-*

Now Ben was ANGRIER. He tried biting Animo 2 times and tried clawing at him again! But all his attacks MISSED as Animo fired a laser at his FACE before continuing to fire more lasers.

*-PEW! PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW- More Wildmutt whining noises!*

Animo then tackled Ben! Sending him flying again! Once Ben fell, Animo ran and hid somewhere. When Ben got up, he shook his head and tried looking for Animo. -Only to find that he was GONE. "Where'd he go?" grunted Ben as he sniffed out Dr. Animo, Wildmutt was basically kinda like a big dog. So he could track anyone or anything by scent. Ben walked around as he continued sniffing for Animo.

*Wildmutt sniffing and grunting noises*

As for Animo, he was hiding behind a tree. He saw that Ben was getting close to where he was, so he readied his blaster and prepared to take aim. "Hold still..." Animo muttered as he tried to line up his gun at Ben, but then...

*-ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!*

Dr. Animo's scent became stronger as Ben kept on walking, when he saw- -or rather- smelled that Animo was hiding behind the tree he started CHARGING! Animo gasped and ran away, but Ben just followed him! Animo tried using his laser blaster again, but Ben dodged the blasts and kept on chasing him! Ben collected stones and tried PELTING Animo with them! "OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!" said Animo as some of the stones hit him, "-WHAT?! -HOW IS THAT CREATURE DOING THAT?! Well, dosen't matter. That makes it EVEN MORE WORTHY OF BEING IN MY MUTANT ARMY!" he continued as he tried firing lasers and darts. But missed again. "-Agh! I have to find a way to escape this creature!" Animo added before running faster!

*-ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Random Wildmutt noises!*

Animo ran as fast he could, but he couldn't outrun Ben. So he had to find another way to lose him, he ran in a sort of zigzaggy line confusing Ben a bit. Ben now had a bit of a hard time chasing Animo as the guy just kept on running in zigzags and RANDOM DIRECTIONS! Sometimes Ben would catch up to Animo, but he just ran into random directions and confused or lost him for a little bit every time! This made Ben kinda frustrated.

The chase went on for a while, but eventually Animo managed to lose Ben. Once Ben lost Animo he stopped, "Where'd he go?" he grunted. Then he started sniffing the air, Dr. Animo's scent could lead him right to him. So Ben started sniffing more and followed the way where the scent lead to, gradually he began to run faster and faster. Until he got the hang of it and was now really running.

Ben ran for a while, it took him a bit of time to catch up to Animo. As he was nearing the crazy madman, he thought "Hmmm... I think I'll take him by surprise!" and took alternative routes while keeping his sights on him. "-GOTTA GET AWAY FROM THAT CREATURE!" Animo panted as he still continued to run, little did he know that Ben saw him and was going to take him by surprise. A little while later, Ben disappeared out of sight.

Animo was getting a bit tired, he was running out of breath. He stopped for a bit near another animal enclosure and looked around to see if Ben was still chasing him. -No one. After that, he continued to run... -but as soon as he started to do so...

*-RRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!* "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Ben JUMPED OUT OF NOWHERE AND TACKLED HIM BY SURPRISE! Animo yelled as he got tackled and fell! He tried fighting back, but Ben CLAWED him a bit first as a warning! Animo got a small wound on the leg, and a little while after some blood started dripping. "-RRRRGGGGHHHHHHH! -That's it! No creature will get in the way of my plans! -NOT EVEN YOU YOU MANGY MUTT!" Animo yelled as he started firing lasers again!

*PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW- -Wildmutt noises!*

Ben was forced to move back and try to avoid the lasers, but Animo got VERY ANGRY this time and wasn't going to give up now! "-IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU, -THEN NO ONE WILL!" Animo shouted as he continued shooting lasers!

Ben was about to fight back when he heard familiar sounds coming from the distance...

*-WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!*

-It was the POLICE! They came to the rescue, once the police cars stopped their drivers got out and held their guns up before one of them said "-FREEZE!". But Dr. Animo just turned and FIRED AT THEM! And in return, the police FIRED BACK!

*-WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW! -WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW! -PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW- -BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-*

Ben hid behind a rock fence and watched the fight go on, he didn't wanna get blasted or shot. Then he turned into Wildvine and secretly WHIPPED Animo making him fall!

*Vine arm stretching! -SNAP!* "-OH-WHOA-OH-OH-OH-WHOA-OH-OH-OOF!"

Animo got back up fast, but Ben sprung back into action and started WHIPPING HIM before throwing him into a wall!

*-SNAP! -SNAP! -SNAP! -SNAP! -SNAP! Vine arm stretching! -FWOOSH! -THUD!* "-Urgh!"

Animo groaned as he rubbed his back, when he looked up he saw that Ben grew his SPIKES all over his body and was about to WHIP HIM! But when he did, Animo caught his arm and PULLED HIM before SWINGING HIM SO FAST AND THROWING HIM! "-WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!-" Ben yelled as he was flung high in the air! The policemen started firing again, -which startled Animo. "-AH!" he yelled as he fought back!

"...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-OOF! ...uuurrrggghhhhh..." Ben said as he CRASHED onto the ground! "Ow..." he groaned as he rubbed his head and turned into Astrodactyl before flying up.

Ben scanned the ground for Animo, he found him with the police. But... there was something strange about them. -Neither of them were moving. The reason why is because Animo somehow managed to disarm the cops. And now they were forced to surrender and freeze as he held his blaster in one hand and one of the COPS' GUNS IN THE OTHER. "It's going to take more than all of you to stop me!" said Animo as he started firing! The cops yelled and ran as they hid behind things, one of them GOT SHOT by a REAL BULLET on the shoulder! Luckily that cop wasn't too hurt since the bullet just grazed him, it still hurt though and he clutched his shoulder. "Aggghhh..." the cop groaned as his friends came to check on him.

Ben squawked in surprise when he saw what happened! He turned into Water Hazard and and started blasting water from above, when Animo got hit he made gurgling noises and got flung across!

*-Gurgling noises!* "OOF! OOF! OOF! OOF! OW! ...ooohhhhhhhh..."

When Animo fell, Ben turned into Wildvine and used his arm to SLAM Animo from above!

*Omnitrix transformation noises! Vine stretching sounds! -FWOOSH! -WHAP!* "-Urgh! -ooooooohhhhhhhhhhh... -uunngghhhh..."

After pounding Animo from above, Ben was able to land safely. He used a couple of tree branches to do it. After that, he grabbed Animo and used his vine to tie him and said "Sorry Animo, looks like the grand opening of your mutant animal exhibit is about to get CANCELLED.". "-W-W-W-W-W-WHAT- -WHAT ARE YOU?! -WHY ARE RANDOM CREATURES JUST POPPING OUT OF NOWHERE AND BOTHERING ME?!" Animo said in shock and confusion. Ben retorted smugly by saying "'Cuz nature's tired of you messing around with it. You mess nature, it's gonna mess you up back!". But right after Ben said that, Animo PULLED OUT A KNIFE AND CUT THE VINE ARM THAT WAS HOLDING HIM.
"Agh!" said Ben as he retracted the vine arm he used to hold Animo and fixed it. Shortly after, Dr. Animo got up and replied "On the contrary... -it is YOU who'll be MESSED UP! With my superior intellect, I have turned nature onto my side. Don't believe me? -Observe.".

After saying that, Animo activated his Transmodulator. He set the dial to "mutate" before pressing 2 fingers on each side of the head piece of it. The Transmodulator was starting to form energy when...

*-BAP!* "-OOF!"

"I don't think so!" said Ben as he continued to try and hit Animo with his vines. Animo dodged them as he fired lasers and bullets back. Ben experienced a bit of pain from the lasers, but the bullets were like nothing. He fixed his body before trying to hit Animo again, only to be grabbed by the arm and THROWN ACROSS again!

*-FWOOSH!* "YAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH-OOF-OOF-OOF-OOF-OOF-OOF-OW! ...uugghhh..." "WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!"

Animo then readied his Transmodulator again, he looked at some elephants, lions and tigers that were nearby. "Perfect." he thought. -Then...

*-TRANSMODULATOR MUTATING LASER NOISES!- -KZZZZZZZZT-KZZZZTTTT! -ELEPHANT, TIGER AND LION NOISES!*

After being mutated, the elephants, lions and tigers became BIGGER, MORE AGGRESSIVE AND SCARIER! They all trumpeted and roared as they BROKE OUT of their enclosures!

"-BEHOLD! A demonstration of the power that I, Dr. Animo possess! I was going to save the energy on my Transmodulator, but all of you are in my way! And if shaking all of you off means using the energy I had in this thing then so be it! My new pets will have so much FUN playing with you all! Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!"

After saying that, Dr. Animo made a break for it and ran. And the cops went after him! As for Ben, he saw the mutants in front of him as soon as he got up! The mutants TRUMPETED AND ROARED at him! "AAAAHHHHHH! Those things look SO UGLY!" said Ben as he turned into Wildmutt and ROARED BACK!

*-TRUMPETING AND ROARING! RRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!*

Ben and the mutants eyed each other for a while, they all stood still. No one moved or made a sound... the tigers would occasionally look to the side and the lions would sway their tails. Ben positioned himself and got ready to do something just in case... Ben and the mutants eyed each other for a few more seconds before...

*-TRUMPETING AND ROARING! RRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!*

-THEY STARTED CHARGING AT EACH OTHER! Once they reached each other Ben climbed the trunk of an elephant and clawed it's back before leaping off! The elephant trumpeted in pain before trying to shoot Ben with water with it's trunk! Ben avoided it and clawed the elephant's foot then ran, the elephant trumpeted in pain again. One of the tigers charged at Ben and tried to claw him, but Ben ducked and slapped and swatted the tiger away. Another tiger leapt at him and pinned him, it tried to bite him but he avoided and kicked it off!

One of the lions started using it's MANE to grab Ben, who just grabbed it and used it to THROW THE LION at one of the tigers! After that, an elephant started CHARGING at Ben! It got him OFF-GUARD and ended up having him on his tusks. Then it tried to SLAM BEN INTO A WALL, but Ben jumped off and it slammed ITSELF instead!

*-SLAM! -CRASH! -Rumble-rumble-rumble-rumble-rumble-rumble-rumble- Elephant trumpeting!*

The wall CRUMBLED AND BROKE BEFORE FALLING APART AND BURYING THE ELEPHANT! "-OH YEAH!" Ben grunted as he pumped his fist in the air. Then he looked at his right and saw 3 OF THE LIONS coming towards him! The lions leapt at him, but Ben dodged and grabbed the leg of one of them. He then used the lion to HIT the other 2 and threw it across!

*-BAP-BAP! -FWOOSH! -THUMP!*

Ben then looked both ways, he saw that the elephants were CHARGING at him on both sides! So he jumped and the 2 elephants SLAMMED ONTO EACH OTHER INSTEAD!

*-SLAM! -TRUMPETING NOISES!*

After the 2 elephants fell down Ben ran to get some space, but he got stopped by one of the lions. It tried biting him, but he grabbed it by the neck and pinned it. But then MORE ANIMALS APPEARED! Ben just smiled and jumped up again, letting all the animals SLAM into each other.

*-SLAM! -TRUMPETING AND ROARING NOISES!*

Ben stopped for a bit and thought "Hmm... I need to find a way to stop these mutant animals! But how?", but before he could think how the mutant animals stood up again! -They were ANGRY and looked at him menacingly. Ben just stared at them, crouched and growled... waiting for one or any of them to start doing something. Then...

*-TRUMPETING AND ROARING NOISES! RRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!*

-Both Ben and the mutant animals started charging at each other again! This time, the mutant animals were MORE AGGRESSIVE as one of the elephants from before SPRAYED water again. Ben jumped but the elephant didn't stop spraying this time and hit him making him fall! Then, the mutant lion from before tried trapping Ben using it's mane again. But Ben just threw it again, this time at one of the other elephants! Sending the lion flying!

*-FWOOSH! -WHAP! -RRRROOOOOAAAARRRRRRR!*

Ben tried to run again, but he got caught by the mutant animals! They beat him up and attacked him! Fortunately Ben was able to escape, leaving them beating up no one. But as soon as he started running, the mutant animals realized that he got away and looked at him. Then they gave chase!

*-TRUMPETING AND ROARING NOISES! Random Wildmutt noises!*

The elephant from before tried blasting Ben with water again, and the lion tried catching him again with it's mane. But Ben jumped and kept on running, he tried to lose the mutant animals by going in another direction but was seen and just got kept on being chased anyway! Suddenly, BIG STONES WERE BEING THROWN AT HIM! -It was the elephants! They picked up the stones with their trunks and threw them at him! Some of the stones hit Ben, but the hits were just a little bit so he wasn't hurt so much. Still, Ben had to run or the mutant animals would catch and attack him!

Meanwhile, somewhere in the distance there were more men with tranquilizer guns. The guns weren't strong enough to put the mutant animals to sleep fast, but they would be effective after a while. "Where are those animals?" asked one of the men, "There! There!" another one said pointing at the mutant animals who were chasing Ben. "Right. Everyone, let's shoot those animals EXCEPT THE BLUE ONE. The blue one's actually a superhero in an alternate form. GO, NOW!" said the first man as he started to run, the others followed him.

*-TRUMPETING AND ROARING NOISES! Random Wildmutt noises!*

Ben was still being chased, he was thinking of a way to lose the mutant animals. -But how? Ben tried thinking and looking around for something that can help him, then he thought why not just make them slam into a wall again. He slowed down a bit so that the mutants could easily follow him, then as he was nearing a wall he suddenly WENT LEFT! -Making the mutants CRASH into it!

*-CRASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! -rumble-rumble-rumble-rumble- -TRUMPETING AND ROARING NOISES!*

The wall shattered and fell down on the mutants burying them again. "I'm gonna make sure they don't cause more trouble." Ben thought as he turned into Cannonbolt and rolled into something he could use as a ramp to get high in the air. Then, he SLAMMED on the mutant animals several times! The force of the slamming was just enough to weaken them. Then, as the men with the tranquilizer guns came Ben unrolled himself and said "They're weakened now, but you guys better shoot all of them with at least 1 dart just in case. They're still MUTANTS you know! Also, shoot them again when they show signs of getting up. I'm gonna find Animo and get his device from him so I can turn these animals back to normal." before rolling away to find Animo.

Meanwhile, Dr. Animo was fighting with some more cops! Lasers and bullets exchanged as the fight went on. Animo managed to shoot some of the cops with lasers and bullets, which forced them to take a more defensive approach.

*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-BANG-BANG-BANG-PEW-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-*

After fighting for a while, Animo crouched even more behind he wall he hid and and ran for it! Unfortunately, the cops saw him and yelled "-STOP RIGHT THERE!" before chasing after him! Dr. Animo and the cops were shooting each other again as Animo ran, but what Animo DIDN'T realize... -was that BEN WAS COMING on the OPPOSITE WAY on where he was running! As Ben was nearing him... he saw him from the distance. "Found him! Now to do this!" Ben thought as he yelled "-CANNONBOLT CANNONBALL!" before rolling STRAIGHT INTO ANIMO!

*-CANNONBOLT ROLLING NOISES!* "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" *-WHAM!* "-OOGH!" *-THUD!*

Animo was flung across a bit and landed with a thud! The cops were surprised as they saw Ben unroll himself. Ben looked at Animo and saw the Transmodulator, "-Yes! -It's there! Now all I have to do is remove it from him and turn those animals back to normal." he thought as he went towards Animo to remove it. But as he was about to do so, he noticed that Cannonbolt's fingers were too big to properly remove the straps that were on the body of Animo. So he turned into Wildvine to do so then took off the head piece before turning into Astrodactyl and flying back to where the mutant animals and the men with tranquilizer guns were.

Once Ben saw the mutant animals and the men he flew down and turned back to normal, he could see that the animals were still a bit weak. But they were recovering their strength fast, so he told the men "Stand back." and started wearing the Transmodulator. But when he tried to, he couldn't attach the straps of the body piece of it. But it didn't matter, because the head and body pieces didn't need to be connected by something like a wire or something when using the Transmodulator. They just needed to be near each other. Ben wore the head piece and set the dial to "normal" mode, but when he tried to turn the mutant animals back to normal he couldn't. He didn't know that you had to press 2 fingers on each side of the head piece of the Transmodulator to use it. "-H-How do you use this thing?" Ben asked as he tried to figure out how to make the Transmodulator work, he tried things like tapping, pulling and twisting all of which were unsuccessful. Eventually, Ben pressed 2 fingers against the sides of the head piece before...

*-TRANSMODULATOR MUTATING LASER NOISES!- -KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTT-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!*

After Ben used the Transmodulator, the mutant animals were turned back to normal. Then, the animals were put on trucks that were on the ready before taking them somewhere safe. "Now to find Animo!" said Ben, but as he turned around... -he saw that A POLICE CAR WAS RUSHING STRAIGHT FOR HIM! What was strange about it was that it DIDN'T have it's sirens on, "-AAAHHHHH!" yelled Ben as he avoided the police car! -Which drifted and stopped! The car door opened to reveal that DR. ANIMO was at the wheel! Animo ran towards the animals and yelled "-NO! -MY MUTANTS!", "Sorry Animo, looks like you'll have to collect animals for your zoo another time!" said Ben smugly as he crossed his arms. "-Wha-how did you..." replied Animo, he didn't know that Ben was the aliens that attacked him. Ben quickly put his hand over his mouth and muttered "-Oops.", after that Dr. Animo got ANGRY and GRABBED BEN BY THE SHIRT yelling "-HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT I WAS THE ONE BEHIND THE MUTATIONS OF THOSE ANIMALS?!". When Animo got no answer, he repeated "-HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT I WAS THE ONE BEHIND THE MUTATIONS OF THOSE ANIMALS?! -TELL ME OR I WILL BLAST YOUR FACE OFF!". But still, no answer. "-HRAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH! -I DON'T KNOW HOW, BUT YOU ARE RELATED TO THE CREATURES WHO STOPPED ME AREN'T YOU?!
-HRAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Animo YELLED as he was about to ATTACK BEN, but before he could-

*-OMNITRIX TRANSFORMATION NOISES! -WHAP!* "-OOF!" *-THUD!* "-aaaggghhhh..." *Grunting noises!*

A flash of blue light blinded him and made him fall down! When the light disappeared, it revealed that Wildmutt took Ben's place! "-YOU! -YOU ARE THE CREATURES THAT ATTACKED ME!" Animo yelled again, "-HRAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he SHOUTED as he fired lasers at Ben! Ben got hit by some of the lasers, but was able to tackle Animo and pin him to the ground! He was about to pound him, but Animo fired at his chin with the laser blaster making him get off!

*Wildmutt grunting and roaring noises! -PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-*

After Ben got off, more lasers came his way! But he was able to get to Animo and try to attack him! Animo fought back against the close range attacks using punches and kicks, but they weren't enough to stop Ben. Animo then chose to use his KNIFE too and try and STAB Ben, who just avoided every attack he threw at him. This made Animo frustrated, "-HOLD STILL YOU LITTLE-" he said as he kept on attacking. Ben just roared and swatted him a couple of times!

*-ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! -BAP!* "-OOGH!" *-BAP!* "-OOGH!" *-BAP!* "-OOGH!"

After the third swat, Animo fell down on the ground a bit hard. Once he got back up he said "-I don't have time for this! -YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF ME BOY! -I WILL RETURN!" before making a run for it! "-HEY! -COME BACK HERE!" Ben grunted as he turned into Cannonbolt and rolled after Animo! Animo tried shooting lasers at Ben, some of them hit him. "Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow! -HEY!" said Ben as he jumped a bit and tried to roll faster.

Animo continued to occasionally fire more lasers as Ben avoided them, and Ben would sometimes almost catch up to Animo. -That is- -until he SUDDENLY CHANGES the direction he's running! Ben couldn't turn so suddenly because 1, he's a bit too big to do so. And 2, he'd probably slide or overroll before being able to chase Animo again.

The chase went on for a bit of a long time, but eventually Animo reached his truck and QUICKLY DROVE AWAY! "-YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE LAST OF ME SHAPESHIFTER! -I WILL BE BACK! -HAHAHAAAAAA!" yelled Animo as he drove off! "HEY! COME BACK HERE!" yelled Ben as he continued to roll after Animo, who looked at his side mirror and saw him. Animo started shooting Ben with the laser blaster again, some of them hitting their target. Ben tried to roll faster, but Animo was too fast! After a while, Animo finally got to the highway. It was the chase with those 2 thieves back on Earth all over again, and that was exactly what Ben thought as he kept on rolling!

Just like the chase with the thieves, some vehicles ended up CRASHING into each other! Animo sometimes smashed small things up and avoided the oncoming vehicles, Ben avoided the wrecked vehicles and vehicle pileups like he did before.

Eventually, the POLICE arrived on the scene! They chased after Animo along the highway, who just SWERVED HARD to avoid an oncoming car! -Which CRASHED into a police vehicle! Animo then looked at the rear view mirror and saw the cops and Ben still chasing him, so he used his laser gun again to get them off him. Some of the lasers POPPED some of the police vehicles' tires making them SKID AND CRASH. The cops took out their guns and tried shooting back at Animo, but he was able to drive faster so that his tires wouldn't get shot.

Ben was still struggling to catch up to Animo, he had to avoid crashed vehicles and vehicle pileups which slowed him down. But he still managed to follow Animo, "ARGH!" Animo yelled as he shot more lasers making MORE VEHICLES CRASH! "Gotta... stop... Animo!" said Ben as he tried rolling faster and faster, but it was getting HARDER and HARDER to do so! Suddenly, Ben and the cops could see that a SHARP CURVE was ahead. Animo wasn't looking at where he was going UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE, NOW WAS BEN'S CHANCE.

"-WHO-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!- -SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE- -POLICE SIRENS SOUNDS!*

Animo and the cops ended up DRIFTING, then they all lost control of their vehicles and SPUN LIKE CRAZY. But they weren't the only ones who were drifting, Ben was drifting too. But he had more control over it even though it was a bit hard for him.

*-SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-* "-OH YEAH! -TIME TO ROCK N' ROLL!"

Ben, the cops and Animo eventually reached a straight part of the road, where they all stopped drifting and spinning. Since Animo was slowed down, Ben now had the chance to stop him! He rolled towards his vehicle and SLAMMED IT.

*-SLAM! -SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-* "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"

Animo SPUN AGAIN! But... -surprisingly... -he somehow managed to regain control of his truck! That didn't stop Ben though, as he just kept trying to stop Animo. Animo is lucky, considering he was able to regain control of his truck everytime Ben rammed into him! The chase between Ben, the cops and Animo went for a LONG TIME! And Ben and the cops were starting to get a bit frustrated. One of the cops even called for backup, but it'd be a LONG TIME before backup arrives!

"What do I do?! I can't lose them!" said Animo as he tried looking for a way to escape, then... he saw a FOREST in the distance!. "AHA!" Animo thought as he FLOORED IT! "HE'S GETTING AWAY!" one of the cops yelled, "OH NO HE WON'T!" replied Ben as he tried to roll faster. -But then...

*Omnitrix time out noises!* "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-OOMPH! -OOF-OOF-OOF-OOF-OOF-OOF-OOF-OOF-OOF-OOF-OOF-OOF-OW! -ugghhhhh..."

Ben TIMED OUT and ended up FLYING ACROSS on the ground! He groaned in a bit of pain as he got up. Animo drove into the forest with the cops behind his tail, but some of them ended up CRASHING INTO TREES!

*-VRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM- -POLICE SIREN NOISES! -CRASH-SMASH-CRASH-SMASH-CRASH-CRASH-CRASH-*

Ben gasped as he saw what happened, he ran towards the smashed up police vehicles and saw that their drivers were INJURED AND BLEEDING! One of the unharmed cops drove towards Ben, rolled down his window and said "Hey kid, what happened?! Why'd you turn back into a human?". "This thing needs to recharge after it's used." Ben replied. "So... you can't turn into other creatures until it's recharged?" asked the cop, "Nope." answered Ben. "But... -I MIGHT be able to stop Animo if you let me borrow a gun." he continued, the cop got shocked and said "-A-A-A-A-A GUN?!". "Yeah, how else am I gonna stop that crazy guy?!" Ben answered, the cop hesitated for a moment. On one hand, it was WEIRD to give a KID a GUN. But on the other, the kid is a SUPERHERO. And he would be able to help. After thinking for a bit, the cop said "Here." and gave Ben a rifle. "-OH YEAH! -COOL! -THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M GONNA GET TO USE A REAL GUN!" said Ben as he looked at it, the cop then showed Ben how to use the gun before he went in his vehicle with him. Then, he drove in the forest to find Animo.

Meanwhile, Animo was already pretty deep into the forest. Some of the cops managed to follow him and were now shooting at him! Animo was shooting back too but was more focused on getting away. It wouldn't be easy for him though as the cops were hot on his tail. Speaking of cops, the cop vehicle that had Ben in it was catching up to Animo's truck. When Ben saw the truck he yelled "-There it is!" before readying the gun, "-Be careful!" said the cop. "Don't worry, I got this!" said Ben as he aimed the gun at Animo's truck, -then...

*BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG!* "Whoa!"

Ben started firing the gun, but what he DIDN'T REALIZE was that there was something called RECOIL. Y'know, the thing that happens that blows back the gun when you fire it? "-WHOA! -This thing must PACK A PUNCH! It's blowing back a bit! Normally guns don't do this, I've seen it in TV shows and stuff." said Ben, "-Be careful! What you see in TV ISN'T ALWAYS ACCURATE!" the cop replied. Ben was about to ask a question but then...

*PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-* "-WHOA!-" "-AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!-"

Lasers were shot at the vehicle he was in, making the cop SWERVE to avoid them! "-H-HEY! -I'M IN HERE YOU KNOW?!" Ben yelled, "Sorry, I had to!" the cop replied. Ben then looked angrily towards Animo's truck and said "You're NOT the ONLY one with a gun! -LOCK N' LOAD BABEH!", then he started firing at the truck again! When Animo heard the bullets, he avoided them as much as he could and fired lasers back.

*BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG- PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-*

The cop and Animo were both turning the steering wheel as fast as they could to avoid getting shot as much as possible, It was a bit hard for Ben to keep his balance while the vehicle he was in was swerving like MAD. But at least he was able to damage Animo's truck. But it still wasn't enough though as Animo was still driving!

Bullets and lasers were exchanged once again, and just like before some of the police vehicles got damaged and smashed. Some of their tires popped and rolled towards the other police vehicles making them crash as well! Some of the cops hit more trees while others just TUMBLED from the rough roads! "-Hey! Your friends are getting their butts kicked! Let's get a bit far away from Animo so that he can't hit us, then I can shoot him from the distance!" said Ben, the cop nodded and drove away from Animo but not going too far from him so that Ben would be able to shoot. Once the cop was far enough, Ben readied his gun and started firing!

*BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG- Windows breaking!* "-AAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!"

The bullets put holes in the windows of Dr. Animo's truck, who almost got hit by them! He couldn't tell who fired the bullets since Ben and the cop were far enough for him to not see, but he fired back in the direction where the bullets came from!

*PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-* "AAAGGHHH!" "WHOAAAAAAAAA!"

Animo managed to damage the vehicle Ben was in a bit! It's windows got broken too. "Drive a little bit farther!" said Ben as the cop did just that, Ben then kept on firing at Animo. "Rrrrggghhh!" Animo growled as he tried his best to avoid the bullets that were being shot at him. After a bit, Ben stopped shooting. He thought he'd shoot the tires on Animo's truck. So he said "Drive a little bit nearer! I'm gonna shoot this guy's tires!" at the cop, the cop did that and Ben readied his gun.
"Steady... steady..." Ben muttered as he tried to aim the gun right at Animo's tire. Then...

*BANG! -POP!-SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-* "-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-*

-He pulled the trigger and a bullet was sent flying at the truck's front right wheel! -Making Animo SPIN out of control! Animo tried to regain control of his vehicle, but it was spinning too much! He ended up CRASHING INTO A TREE!

*SMASH!* "...ooooggggghhhhhhhhhhh..."

"-GOT HIM! -LET'S GET HIM!" yelled Ben as the cop quickly drove over to where Animo crashed, all the other cops followed too. When Ben and the cops got to where Animo's truck crashed, they looked at the truck. Only to find that... -ANIMO WASN'T THERE.

"Alright Animo! It's time to give up!" said Ben, but when he looked at the truck he asked "-Hey! -Where's Animo?!". "W-WHAT?!" the cops said in confusion, "ANIMO'S GONE!" yelled Ben. "-GONE?!" said the cops in disbelief. But they had to believe it when they looked at the truck and found NO ONE there. "-WHERE'D HE GO?!" one of the other cops said, "Let's look for him!" replied Ben. The cops nodded and they and Ben split up to look for Animo.

[After trying to look for Animo...]

The cops and Ben searched for Animo for quite a while, but unfortunately... -they DIDN'T find him! When they regrouped Ben said "I can't find Animo anywhere!", the cops just said the same thing. "Maybe he escaped!" Ben continued, "That's impossible! Did you SEE that CRASH?!" one of the other cops said. "Well, whether we like it or not... that guy's GONE." the cop who was with Ben when he was driving muttered.

"C'mon! Let's go find Animo!" said Ben, the cops nodded as Ben went into one of the police vehicles. Then, they drove off. "So... kid... -you know this Animo guy?" the cop who was with Ben asked, "Yeah, I've only seen him once before. But he DID SOMETHING SO BAD." Ben replied. "Oh really? What?" the cop asked again, "Make a bunch of MUTANT SEA ANIMALS AND USE THEM TO WREAK HAVOC!" Ben answered. "-W-W-W-W-WHAT REALLY?!" the cop asked in shock, "Yeah. We gotta catch him. He's dangerous!" Ben continued as the cop drove faster.

The ride was VERY LONG, the way Animo DISAPPEARED was just... -WEIRD. When Ben and the cops looked in his crashed truck they DIDN'T FIND ANY SIGNS OF HIM! There was no blood or anything. Weird. "Oh man. It's been SOOOOO LONG and we still haven't found Animo!" said Ben, "I'm starting to get a bit worried." muttered the cop. Ben just looked from out the windows hoping he would find any signs of Animo, then he looked at the Omnitrix. -Still red and not recharged. "I hope this thing finishes recharging soon, I'll need it." thought Ben as he went back to looking out for signs of Animo.

The ride was still uneventful for a while, with Ben looking everywhere for signs of Animo and the cop still driving. Everything was good until...

*PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-* "WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" *-SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-*

-LASERS WERE SUDDENLY FIRED AT THE VEHICLE WHERE BEN AND THE COP WERE IN! The cop SWERVED HARD to avoid them! "-WHAT WAS THAT?!" asked the cop, but he got an answer when he and Ben saw DR. ANIMO RIDING ON A MUTANT HORSE!

*NEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Horse running sounds!*

The horse was big, black and muscular. It had 2 long horns on it's head and 1 one horn on it's nose, it had LONG SPIKES for a mane and had SHARP TEETH! "-WHAT IN THE WORLD-" the cop yelled in shock, "-IT'S ANIMO! -GET HIM!" said Ben. "Right." agreed the cop as he slammed on the gas pedal! But Animo's new horse was able to RUN FASTER THAN A CAR! So the cop would have to drive faster. "I can't believe it! That thing's faster than us!" the cop said, "'Course it's faster. Animo MUTATED THAT HORSE!" Ben replied. Then Ben grabbed the gun the cop had, "I'll shoot, you drive." he said. The cop agreed and drove faster.

Animo took out his laser blaster and started shooting again, and Ben shot back with bullets. The horse was SURPRISINGLY FAST, -FASTER THAN A CAR EVEN! So Ben couldn't hit it. "I can't shoot it! Get closer!" Ben said as the cop pressed down on the gas pedal and sped up. Once the cop was able to get close enough to the horse, Ben started shooting again. But the horse STILL dodged all the bullets. "How 'bout we crash that horse?" Ben asked, "Are you crazy?!" said the cop as he continued to drive.

"I don't know how the both of you managed to follow me all the way here... -but it dosen't matter! I'll get rid of the both of you once and for all!" Animo muttered as he shot more lasers, what he didn't know was that Ben and the cop DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE HE WAS UNTIL HE STARTED SHOOTING THEM. The cop started to back up a bit, but Ben said "Wait!" and fired at Animo and the horse! But he wasn't able to hit either of them.

Another highway was nearing, and Animo knew this. So he whipped the ropes on his horse and yelled "-GIDDIYAP!". "NEEEEIIIGGGGHHHH!" said the horse as it ran faster into the highway! After a while, the vehicles started appearing! Animo made his horse flatten their tires and make them crash using it's head and nose spikes that could shoot and grow back again.

*PEEEEEEEEEEP-PEEP-PEEP-PEEP-PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPP!-CRASH!-WEW-WEW-WEW-WEW-WEW-WEW-WEW-WEW-*

Ben and the cop followed Animo, Ben gasped as he looked at the mess Animo made. This slowed down the cop a bit as he had to avoid crashed vehicles and pileups. "Oh man! This'll slow us down!" Ben thought as he looked at more crashed vehicles and pileups, then he asked "Hey, isn't there any other way we can take so we don't have to cross through these things?!". "Nope." the cop replied as he tried to drive faster.

Animo checked his rear view mirror to see if Ben and the cop were still following him, sure enough they were. "Persistent little-" said Animo as he shot more lasers at Ben and the cop, who avoided them. Ben fired back, some of the bullets hit Animo's truck. But the damage still wasn't enough to stop him. "Rrrgghhh! This'll get them off!" Animo growled as he tried shooting the cop's vehicle's tires but missed. Ben tried shooting Animo and his horse but the horse dodged the bullets again.

"We'll never hit 'em!" said Ben as he kept on shooting, "I'm goin' as fast as I can!" the cop replied as he tried to catch up to Animo. In the distance was a big sign, Animo looked at it and said "This'll get them off." before making his horse BREAK it's pole and make it fall down!

*-KLANG! -cccrrreeeaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkk...* "-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-" "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" *CRASH!* "-OOMPH!" "OOF!" "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!" *NEIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*

The sign FELL DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! Causing Ben and the cop to CRASH INTO IT! Luckily, they weren't hurt. But Animo laughed and escaped! "...uuunnngghhh... -you ok kid?!" asked the cop, "oogh... -yeah I'm fine. -BUT ANIMO'S GETTING AWAY!" Ben replied. "Well, we can't do anything now... -my car's destroyed." said the cop as he and Ben got out of the car. But just when it seemed like things couldn't get any worse...

*-SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-CRASH!-CRASH-CRASH-CRASH-CRASH-CRASH! -BEEEEEEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!*

-Oncoming vehicles from both sides CRASHED onto where the sign was! Causing a MASSIVE PILEUP! Both Ben and the cop GASPED IN SHOCK a they saw what happened! "-OH NO!" Ben yelled as he looked at the crashed vehicles, the cop remained speechless and couldn't even say anything until a little bit later. "What're we gonna do?! Your car's DESTROYED and there's no one to help us!" Ben asked, "Hold on. I'll call for help." the cop replied as he did just that.

[Some Time Later...]

Some time later, the wrecked vehicles were cleared off the road. The injured people were taken to the hospital and the vehicles who were going to use the route where the sign fell now had to take a different one. Ben and the cops were currently talking to each other, they talked about how they were going to follow and find Animo. He was sure to be so far away by now. The cops called for a helicopter to scan for Animo from above, the people they called agreed and a helicopter was sent to find the crazy guy. Ben told the cops that it'd probably be a while before the helicopter finds Animo, so it was a good idea to start looking for him themselves again while waiting for the helicopter to arrive and find anything. The cops agreed and did just that with Ben in one of the cars.

"I hope Animo hasn't gone so far yet." Ben thought as he kept a lookout for the guy, the cops did the same thing and kept driving. Ben looked at the Omnitrix again, still not recharged. I guess he'll just have to wait more. After some time, the helicopter finally got to where it needed to be. It then looked for Animo, it was going to be hard as no one knew where he went.

The search went on for a little while longer, Ben and the cops still haven't found Animo. Ben was looking out the window still looking for signs of the guy, he didn't find any. But... something else caught his attention. "-LOOK!" he yelled as he pointed at the thing he saw, "-What?" the cop asked as he looked at where Ben pointed to. When he did, he found HORSE HOOF PRINTS. That could only mean ONE THING... -ANIMO WAS NEAR. "It's the footprints of a horse! Maybe if we follow those, we'll find Animo!" Ben added, "You're right." the cop agreed and called his friends to follow where he was going.

The cop, his friends and Ben followed the footprints, they covered a bit of a long distance. By the time the cop, his friends and Ben reached the end, the Omnitrix had already recharged. What the cop, his friends and Ben saw surprised them a bit. It was ANOTHER PORTAL! They wondered where it led to, since the horse footprints ended right at the portal's entrance. "Let's go in." said Ben, the cop agreed and told his friends the same thing. Then, they all entered the portal.

[When Ben, the cop and his friends entered the portal...]

When Ben, the cop and his friends entered the portal, they ended up in a world similar to the real world. "Wait... another world that looks like the real world?!" said Ben as he, the cop and his friends looked around. Ben saw more hoof prints and added "Look! More hoof prints!", the cop saw them, started driving and told his friends to follow him. "We must be getting close..." Ben muttered, "Maybe" the cop replied as he continued driving. But Ben, the cop and his friends weren't close yet. As it took a little bit more time before they reached where the hoof prints ended. But when they did... they just ended up seeing an open road ahead with nothing. "-WHAT?!" said Ben in confusion, "-That's where the hoof prints end?! There's nothing in front of us!" he added. "Hmm... that's weird." the cop muttered, "Well, the only way this road goes to is straight ahead. Maybe we should just follow it and see where it leads us." Ben suggested. "Alright." the cop agreed and drove and told his friends to follow him.

After following the straight stretch of road for a bit Ben, the cop and his friends came across a part of the road that led to 2 ways. One was straight ahead, the other one was left. The left way had HOOF PRINTS on it, meaning that Dr. Animo and his horse just went there. "Look! That way has hoof prints!" said Ben as he pointed at the left lane, when the cop saw this he told his friends to follow him and went into the left lane. Along the way, Ben, the cop and his friends saw some houses nearby. They looked old and a bit rusty. But old houses weren't the only things that were in the left lane, there were DESTROYED STUFF TOO! -Including DESTROYED HOMES.

"Whoa... looks like no one really liked this place... -there's wrecked stuff everywhere!" Ben said as he looked around, "You're tellin' me..." the cop just muttered as he drove. As the cop drove along the road, he could see more and more wrecked stuff. Eventually, he and Ben came across a stretch of the road where everything was a TOTAL MESS! Ben and the cop gasped when they saw it, "-WHOA! -THERE'S LOTS OF WRECKED STUFF HERE!" said Ben in surprise. "We must be near." the cop replied as he kept on driving. The cop drove for a little bit longer, but there was STILL NO SIGN OF ANIMO. "-Oh man! We've been going on this road for SO LONG and there's STILL NO SIGN OF ANIMO! -What do we do?" Ben asked, "Look, hoof prints!" the cop said as he pointed to where they were. They led to... -a big rock?! That was weird, there were hoof prints all the way to the rock but NONE AFTER.

The cop told his friends to follow him to the rock, which they did. Then, he, his friends and Ben got out of the vehicles and went up to the rock. "Ok, that's weird. There's hoof prints here, but there's NO MORE AFTER!" said Ben as he looked at the rock, "Let's look around." the cop replied as he, his friends and Ben did that. After a while, Ben decided to go back to the spot where the rock was. "Man, we've looked EVERYWHERE! I think Animo's LONG GONE!" he said. Then, he looked at the rock again. "Hmm... I wonder if there's something special about this rock." Ben wondered as he fiddled around with the rock. After trying things like tapping and hitting it, nothing happened. Then, Ben got an idea. He pushed the rock from the side. It moved a bit. "-Whoa! Did it just... -move?!" Ben said surprised, then he pushed the rock more. He pushed it all the way to the side... -revealing... -what seemed to be... -A SECRET DOOR?!

"-WHOA! This must be... like... a sceret door or somethin'! I better tell the cops!" said Ben as he yelled "-HEY! -HEY! -C'MERE EVERYBODY! -I FOUND SOMETHING!". After getting all the cops together, Ben pointed at the secret door. The cops gasped, one of them asked "-H...-How did you find this...". "I pushed that rock to the side and found it." Ben replied, "Must be a secret door or somethin'." he added. "Well, let's get in." one of the cops said, "Wait, I don't know how to open this thing. Gimme a second." said Ben as he fiddled with the secret door. Eventually, he got it to open. The secret door slid to the left side, revealing a tube slide that led downwards.

"C'mon!" said Ben as he slid down the tube, the cops followed. But what they didn't realize was that it was gonna be a SUPER FAST SLIDE! So they all yelled woah as they slid down.

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH- -AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH- -WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-*

The slide took a while, but eventually Ben and the cops reached the end! When they did, they saw that they ended up in a SUPER BIG ROOM! There was a bridge across it that led to an elevator. "WHOA! Where are we?!" Ben asked, "I don't know, but I don't like the looks of it." the cop answered. "Let's go there!" Ben added as he pointed towards the bridge, he and the cops ran towards it and went inside the elevator. When they did, Ben asked "Ok, so where we goin'? Up or down?". "I say down. Our guy has a better chance of being hidden that way." replied one of the cops, "Alright. Let's go." said Ben as another cop pressed buttons on the elevator making it go down.

"So... what do you guys think Animo's doin' down here? Other than probably make mutants." Ben asked, "We're gonna find out soon..." one of the cops answered as the elevator continued going down. Ben just prepared himself, waiting for whatever weird things were awaiting him and the cops downwards...

Meanwhile... Animo knew that Ben and the cops had entered his secret place. An alarm went off and Ben and the cops were shown on screen riding the elevator. "-THE COPS WITH THAT KID?! -WHAT IS THE KID DOING WITH THE COPS?!" Animo said in shock, "No matter, I'll make sure they'll be taken care of..." he muttered as he pressed some buttons.

The elevator already stopped, it's doors opened as Ben and the cops started walking out of it. When they did, they saw another big room. But with more machinery.
"This guy's got a BIG HOME." said Ben as he looked around again, "Yup." muttered a cop. Ben and the cops continued walking in the room, but then...

*-RANDOM ANIMAL NOISES!* "-WHAT WAS THAT?!"

-ANIMAL NOISES ECHOED EVERYWHERE! "-WHAT WAS THAT?!" a cop asked shocked, "-I THINK IT'S MORE MUTANTS!" Ben replied. Turns out he was right. Because a few moments later... -LOTS AND LOTS OF MUTATED ANIMALS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE!

*-MORE RANDOM ANIMAL NOISES!*

"Oh no..." Ben muttered, he and the cops were SURROUNDED. Then, a voice came out from nowhere!

"Well... looks like we have... -uninvited guests..."

-It was ANIMO! He was speaking through a microphone.

"Animo?!"

"Well... what a surprise to see you again boy. I didn't think someone like you would be able to find a way into my secret hiding spot. -Or your... -friends..."

"-GIVE UP ANIMO! WE FOUND YOUR HIDING PLACE!"

"Oh... I don't think that matters... -because I'm not really sure you and your friends will make it out of here... -alive..."

As soon as Animo finished saying that whole make it out alive part, DRONES, ROBOTS AND WALL LASERS APPEARED! Which surprised Ben and the cops, "Uh oh..." Ben thought as he looked around. He and the cops were SURROUNDED! There was nowhere to run or hide. "-ATTAAAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKKKK!" yelled Animo, Ben wasn't sure what to do so he thought fast. He then quickly turned into Humungousaur and SMASHED THE FLOOR MANY TIMES SO FAST! Making a big hole that made him and the cops FALL. Luckily, the fall wasn't too bad. As the next floor downward wasn't too low. "-RUN!" Ben yelled as he turned into Cannonbolt and started rolling fast! The cops then followed him. "ROBOTS, DRONES, MUTANT ANIMALS! AFTER THEM!" Animo yelled as the robots, drones and mutant animals did so!

*-RANDOM ANIMAL NOISES!* "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" "OH NO!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"

"C'mon! This way!" said Ben as he led the cops and looked for the best routes to escape, suddenly... -MUTANT KANGAROOS were about to do JUMP ATTACKS on him! Ben rolled and RAMMED the kangaroos out of the way! Then he kept on rolling and leading the cops. Then, drones and robots were starting to catch up to him and the cops! They shot lasers and small missiles at them!

*PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW- -BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM! -PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW! -SCREAMING-*

Bits of walls, floors and other destroyed things started falling down on Ben and the cops! Ben deflected as much bits as he could to protect the cops from being hurt as much as possible. The cops were yelling as they dodged falling bits and stuff and ran faster. As Ben and the cops continued to escape, MORE TROUBLE came for them! -MUTANT ELEPHANTS WERE FLYING ABOVE THEM USING THEIR BIG EARS! -Kinda like Dumbo, I know. And started spraying them with water!

*FWOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! FWOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! FWOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "-WHOA!"

Ben protected as many cops as he could by shielding them from the blasts by rolling to deflect the water! One of the elephants EXTENDED IT'S TRUNK AND USED IT AS A WHIP TO START WHIPPING BEN AND THE COPS! Ben blocked some of the attacks, but it hurt him. Some of the cops got hit by the elephant's trunk! Making them yell in pain!

"OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!" "OW!" "YEOW!" "OW-OW-OW!" "-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW!" "OUCH!" "OW!" *-TRUMPETING NOISES!*

Ben jumped up before turning into Astrodactyl and flying, after he went high enough he turned into Humungousaur again and let himself fall towards the elephants. When he did he grabbed one of the elephants' trunks and used that elephant to SWAT THE OTHERS AWAY. All the elephants fell down, Ben changed back into Cannonbolt before landing and rolling again.

The cops tried using the guns they brought along with them to fend the mutant animals, robots and drones off them, some of the animals, robots and drones were taken out. But there were TOO MANY of them that the guns WEREN'T ENOUGH! The robots and drones started firing more lasers and missiles again, some of the lasers grazed some of the cops. Ben deflected the lasers and sometimes used Humungousaur to throw back the missiles, but he focused more on protecting the cops and making sure that he and them get out of Animo's secret place alive. But that was gonna get a LOT HARDER to do... -because he and the cops suddenly came across a dead end.

"Dead end." said one of the cops, Ben looked around and saw that there was a door on the left. "-In there!" he said as he smashed it open and led the cops in there. But a few seconds into running, MUTANT BULLS STARTED CHARGING AT BEN AND THE COPS!

*-ANGRY BULL NOISES!* "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" "-RUUUUUNNNNNNN!"

Ben and the cops tried running away, but they ended up getting RAMMED AND THROWN AROUND by the bulls! Ben tried fighting back by punching them with his fists and whacking them with his tail, but there were TOO MANY OF THEM!

*-ANGRY BULL NOISES! BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-WHAP-WHAP-POW-BAM-BAM-BAM-WHAP-POW-POW-POW-POW-POW-WHAM-SMASH-BAM-CRASH-WHAM-SLAM-POW-WHAM-*

Some of the cops tried using their guns, but they just found themselves getting CHARGED AT AND THROWN AROUND AFTER! Meanwhile, Ben was having trouble! A bull tried to charge at him, but he grabbed it by the horns and swung it at another group of bulls. Another bull was trying to headbutt Ben, but Ben punched it sending it flying towards another group of bulls! "-urgh... -There's too many of 'em!" said Ben as he struggled and fought back as hard as he could as the bulls surrounded him!

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! You cannot stop my army, all of you should have NEVER interfered with my plans! HAHAHA!" Animo spoke from the mic, "-u...-urgh... Just you wait Animo! One day your crazy zoo is gonna get shut down!" said Ben. Animo just laughed. Ben then turned into Grey Matter to get out of the bull horde, then he turned into Astrodactyl and flew up. The bulls saw this and chased after Ben, who turned into Fourarms and let himself fall down on one of them. Ben ended up riding in one of the bulls, the bull tried bucking him off but Ben hung on. "Time for a rodeo! YEEEEEEEHAAAWWWWWWWWWW!" said Ben as he hung on to the bull's horns making it accidentally kick the other bulls.

*-ANGRY BULL NOISES! -WHAP-WHAP-POW-POW-POW-POW-WHAM-WHAM-POW-WHAM-POW-WHAP-POW-POW-*

Ben managed to hang on to the bull he rode on a little bit longer before it was finally able to buck him off. Ben landed and turned into Bowl Weevil, then said "Lemme introduce ya'll ta a new game! -Wild west bowling!" before making and shooting balls at some bulls, including the one he just rode.

*-SMASH! -SMASH! -SMASH! -SMASH! -SMASH! -PAINED BULL NOISES!*

Some of the bulls were blown back and sent flying, more came charging at Ben. Who turned into Wildvine and yelled "-YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" again before using his vine arms to whip and make the bulls fall by tying their feet for a while. Here's another random fact, Ben dosen't know how to do the lasso spin thingy so he just went straight ahead and whipped and tied those bulls' feet together. Ben then shot spikes at a slightly slow speed, deterring the bulls for a bit. Then he said "Since ya'll proabably came from the wild west... -time for things ta get a bit "heated"!" and turned into Magmatch.

The bulls grunted angrily and charged at Ben again, but that was a mistake because Ben used his heat powers to BURN the bulls' skin by jumping from one bull to another. This made the bulls back away as Ben turned into Water Hazard and said "Y'know what the wild west needs? -HYDRATION!" before BLASTING THEM WITH WATER AND ICICLES.

*FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! -BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-*

The bulls ended up getting drenched and cold, Ben turned into Cannonbolt again and knocked them all out by rolling towards them with fast speed. Then, Ben looked at the cops. He GASPED when he saw that some of them were getting kinda beaten up! "-HANG ON EVERYONE! -I'M COMING!" Ben yelled as he rolled towards the bulls that were attacking the cops and knocked them all out! After that, Ben checked on the cops and asked if they were okay. The cops said yes, then they got up and followed Ben again.

Ben had a bit of a hard time rolling and protecting the cops as the robots, drones and mutant animals were STILL ATTACKING HIM! But he managed and led the cops to another room. He smashed the door open again, but as soon as he did...

*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! -SCREEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-*

-He was greeted by MUTANT BEES, WASPS, EAGLES, DRAGONFLIES AND BATS! Ben GASPED as he muttered "-UH OH...". "Ah... -it's you and your friends... -so nice of all of you to finally join us..." came a voice. Ben looked in the direction which it came from to see that it was ANIMO. "-ANIMO?!" Ben asked, "Yes." Animo replied.

"-YOU!"

"Yes... it is me. Dr. Animo!"

"First you attack the sea back there, now you wanna attack US and the PLACE YOU LIVE IN!"

"Yes, and there's nothing you or your friends can do to stop me! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Ben looked at the mutants, Dr. Animo was right. Even though he had cops on his side, they wouldn't be able to do much of anything. "Oh no! What am I gonna do?!" Ben thought as he tried to think of a way to stop Animo and his army.

(In Ben's Mind): "Hmm... I could go Humungousaur and try to thrash around and beat up all of the mutants that I can, but they're too many! I can turn into Wildvine, he can fix his body and has extendable arms. But it won't do much either. Astrodactyl? Nah. Hmm..."

It took Ben a little while to come up with a plan, but he soon managed to think of one. But his plan meant that the cops should run away and try to find the exit or another way out of Animo's hideout. He was gonna turn into Magmatch since he could both attack and not get hurt since he's basically liquid. He could buy the cops some time to either at least get a headstart in escaping or getting out of Animo's hideout. Ben wanted to stay and protect the cops, but letting them go with him and fight with him against Animo WASN'T THE BEST OF IDEAS. There were TOO MUCH ENEMIES, and he couldn't protect all the cops at once so fast! If he tried escaping with the cops he'd be chased and the cops would be put in DANGER. He figured Animo would be more after him than them. So he turned to the cops and said "-GO! -GET OUTTA HERE AND FIND THE EXIT OR ANOTHER WAY OUT!", "-B-B-B-B-B-B-But what about you?!" one of the cops asked. "Listen, I'm the ONLY ONE WHO CAN REALLY FIGHT BACK AGAINST ANIMO! And it wouldn't be ANY GOOD if ALL OF US DIED TRYING TO FIGHT HIM! -JUST GO! -NOW!" Ben replied as he pushed the cops away from the door he and they just went in.
The cops couldn't really do much of anything at this point, so they ran.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Foolish child, now there is no one to help you. HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!" Animo laughed, then he said "Activate metal door lockdown.". Then, a metal barrier covered the hole where the door that Ben and the cops just came in once was! And not just that, metal barriers covered EVERY POSSIBLE ESCAPE ROUTE that Ben could possibly take. -Trapping him with Animo AND THE WHOLE MUTANT ARMY!

"There's nowhere to run, boy! It's over for you! You should've stayed out of my business!" Animo said smugly as he looked down at Ben, who retorted with "Who's running Dr. Freakimo? -BRING IT ON! I'm gonna make some new recipes by FRYIN' ALL OF YOUR MUTANTS!". Then, Ben slammed on the Omnitrix and turned into Magmatch. Animo just laughed, then Ben added "-You may have a WHOOOOOOLLLLLLEEEEEEE MUTANT ARMY surrounding me right now, and I may not make it out alive of this fight... -but if I end up goin' down... -I'll make sure YOU GO DOWN FIRST!". Animo just laughed again, then said "Robots, drones, wall lasers!". In a few seconds, robots, drones and wall lasers appeared! "Oh man." Ben muttered, "Give up boy! You don't stand a chance!" continued Dr. Animo. "Things are about to get real "heated"!" Ben replied as he leapt on a dragonfly and gave it SEVERE BURNS AND FRIED IT'S LEFT WING MAKING IT SCREECH. Animo gasped then yelled "-ATTAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!"

The mutants, drones, robots and wall lasers followed the order and started attacking Ben! But since he was liquid the attacks didn't work. He burned more enemies as he kept on fighting, this made Animo frustrated and start shooting at him. But the lasers that hit Ben just went through him.

*FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS- BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! SCREEEECCCHHHHH! -BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!*

The mutant animals' attacks didn't work, the robots, drones and wall lasers tried blasting and shooting small missiles at Ben. But they all went through him too and Ben destroyed them!

*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM- -FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-FSSSS-*

Animo was now EVEN MORE FRUSTRATED. He yelled at the surviving mutants, drones, robots and wall lasers to keep attacking. Which they did, but it was no good. "I gotta get these mutants, robots, drones and lasers off me! Some of the mutants, drones and robots can avoid me well! And it's kinda hard to get 'em! If I don't get 'em fast enough, the Omnitrix will get lowbat and I'll turn back to Ben at the WRONG TIME!" Ben thought as he kept on fighting. Bees, wasps, dragonflies and bats all swarmed over him, making it hard to see. But he burned some of them making the rest back away! Unfortunately, the speedy mutants were a bit too fast for him! So he couldn't burn them as fast as he wanted! Plus those mutants could FLY.

"GET AWAY!" Ben yelled as he shot pieces of himself at every enemy he could, burning them. Then Ben would get back the pieces and do it again. "RRRRGGGGGHHHHH!" growled Animo. Then eagles started pecking at Ben, only for them to have their beaks burned making them SCREECH in pain! Some of the eagles flapped their wings and created HUGE WINDS to blow Ben away! Who had to avoid them because Magmatch dosen't really like the wind, -or getting cold. Animo watched Ben's reaction to the wind from above, and that's when he realized what he needed to DO TO WIN. This was NOT GOOD. Animo said "MUTANTS! Did you all see that? His current form HATES THE COLD!
FLAP ALL OF YOUR WINGS AND MAKE HIM AS COLD AS POSSIBLE!". The mutants obeyed and started flapping their wings SO FAST they made a wind SO STRONG.

*FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-FLAP-* "-WHOOOOAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH-" *SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT!* "OOF!"

Ben was blown back, as he flew across he SPLIT INTO PIECES before he and the pieces ended up SPLATTING into the wall! Once Ben was splattered, Animo yelled "ROBOTS, DRONES AND WALL LASERS! -TAKE HIM DOWN!". Immediately, the robots, drones and wall lasers started attacking Ben again! Ben dodged the attacks, but it was a bit hard for him as he was being forced into a wall by wind which made it a bit hard to move.

"-u...-uuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Ben groaned as he tried to move, "I... ...need... ...to... ...reach... ...the... ...Omnitrix..." he added as he struggled to do so. The robots, drones and wall lasers were still attacking, making it harder for Ben. Ben struggled for a while, he tried to form a limb but the wind was blowing some of his body back. But he just kept on trying. "If I can just... -almost... -got it..." Ben groaned as he tried forming a limb again. He still struggled for a few more seconds before finally being able to reach the Omnitrix. Then...

*-Omnitrix transformation noises!*

Ben turned into Humungousaur, he used his weight to bring himself down to the floor. Then he quickly smashed a HOLE IN THE FLOOR AND JUMPED IN IT! Animo gasped and yelled "-AFTER HIM!". The mutants, drones and robots then gave chase to Ben, and so did Animo. Who rode on one of the dragonflies.

After Ben landed, he quickly turned into Cannonbolt and rolled as fast as he could! But pretty soon, Animo and his army were starting to catch up with him! "Attack!" Animo commanded as the robots, drones and mutants started attacking!

*-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ-BZZ-BZZZZ-SCREEEEECCCHHHHHHHHH-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-PEW-PEW-PEW-PEW-SCREEEEECCCCCHHHHHH-BZZZZZZZZZ-BOOM-BOOM-PEW-PEW-PEW-*

Ben dodged some of the attacks, the rest hit him! He tried fighting back by rolling into as much as enemies as possible, he ended up knocking some mutants out and destroying robots and drones! But it wasn't enough, so he continued to roll.

*-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP- -SCREEEEEECCCCCCHHHHHH-BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ-SMASH-CRASH-SMASH-BAM-WHAM-SCREEEECCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHH-BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ-EEK-EEK-EEK-EEK-*

"-I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE! -FAST!" Ben thought as he tried to roll faster, but he was already pushing himself so hard. Suddenly, he saw an alternate route that led to the right. "Aha!" he thought and quickly DRIFTED before going there! Losing Animo and his army. Ben then continued rolling as fast as he could, "Maybe this is a way that can help me lose 'em!" he thought. So he rolled faster, but boy would he be SO WRONG when he'd eventually come across the DEAD END on the route he was in! Ben rolled for a little bit longer before seeing the dead end. "-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" he yelled as he tried to stop in time. But he couldn't and ended up HITTING THE WALL.

*SLAM! THUMP!* "OOGH! OOMPH! ...-uuurrrrgggggghhhhhhhh..."

Ben groaned and rubbed his back, then he tried going back the other way as fast as he could. But it was TOO LATE! Animo already knew what he did and was now coming the opposite direction! When Ben saw Animo and his army, he had to stop. Ben unrolled himself and tried looking for another way to escape, but he was CORNERED.

"GOTCHA! HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!" Animo cackled as he and his army started moving forward a bit towards Ben, who started moving backwards a bit. "There's no escape boy! You can't run anymore!" Animo continued, "Oh yeah?!" retorted Ben as he ROLLED SO FAST that he managed to get through Animo's army and knock some of his enemies out! Then Ben continued rolling again and took a different route. "DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!" Animo yelled as he and his mutants went after Ben again!

When Animo and his army caught up to Ben again he and they all started attacking, Ben dodged the attacks and fought back by rolling. Animo had enough, he pulled out his laser blaster and started firing at Ben again! Ben tried to get Animo to stop by rolling at him, but he missed and Animo kept shooting.

Animo and his army wouldn't stop attacking Ben, Ben tried to stop or lose them but he couldn't! There were too many mutants, drones and robots and he kept missing Animo. The endless attacks distracted Ben a bit making not be able to pay much attention to where he was going until it was TOO LATE! Ben was heading towards another door, but this one looked STRONGER than the ones from before! "-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" Ben yelled as he tried to stop, but he ended up CRASHING INTO THE DOOR and hurt himself a bit!

*-CRASH!* "OOGH! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! -Oomph! ...-uuuurrrrggghhhhh..."

Ben crashed and hurt himself... -again. When he got up, he looked around. Only to find that he was in a room with NOWHERE ELSE TO GO! Basically another dead end. Ben tried going back but was cornered by Animo and his mutants again. "It's over boy! There's REEALLLLYYY NOWHERE for you to run this time!" said Animo as he held his blaster up and pointed it at Ben as his army got into fighting stances. Ben turned into Humungousaur and tried to smash a hole in the floor again, but this time... -HE COULDN'T! "-HUH?!" he said confused, so he tried again. Looks like the floor was much tougher than the other ones... -and apparently... -he found out later that the walls and the whole room was the same.

Animo and his army then went in the room, Animo closed and locked out the doors and every possible escape route Ben could take. "Uh oh..." Ben thought as he panicked and looked around for somewhere to escape. -Nothing. Then, Animo said "-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA! It's over for you boy, there's nowhere to run. Hehehe don't worry, I'll make sure your demise won't be in vain. In fact, I could use another... -test subject for my experiments. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!". Now Ben was REALLY NERVOUS, he was TRAPPED in a room with NOWHERE TO ESCAPE OR HIDE. And if he didn't get out in some way... -Animo would GET HIM! "So... what's it going to be, boy? We can do this the easy way... -or the hard way... -your choice." added Animo, Ben thought he'd use Magmatch to fight his way through Animo and his army and try to burn a hole onto the floor. It was risky, but it was the BEST BET. If Ben picked any other alien he might have a chance to fight back for at least a bit, but he would also eventually be overwhelmed by the numbers of mutants, robots and drones! "Tick tock... tick tock..." Animo continued as he looked on at Ben with a menacing smile... Then... -suddenly... -something UNEXPECTED happened. -Ben suddenly SMIRKED. Animo was surprised and said "Huh?! Why are you smiling boy? Have you lost it?", but Ben just replied with "Yeah, tick tock... -guess what time it is?". Animo was confused and raised a brow before Ben continued "It's hero time!" and turned into Magmatch!

*-Omnitrix transformation sound!*

When Animo saw what Ben turned into he just laughed and said "I already beat you in that form, what makes you think I can't beat you again?", "-'Cuz I'm gonna beat you first before you beat me Dr. Freakimo!" Ben replied as he LEAPT on Animo's TRANSMODULATOR AND BURNED IT!

*FSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...* "-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! -MY CREATION!"

Animo wasn't burned, but Ben made his Transmodulator fall off and was starting to melt it. Then, the dial part of the body piece was starting to SPARK A BIT. "YOU FOOL! THAT THING WILL EXPLODE!" Animo yelled, "Even better, I can take an explosion. I'm basically hot liquid." Ben replied smirking as he continued to burn Animo's device.
"-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Animo yelled, -then...

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!* "-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Once the Transmodulator was destroyed, all the animals that Animo mutated turned back to normal. Animo yelled a long and loud no as he saw that he was losing. "-GIVE UP ANIMO! -IT'S OVER!" said Ben, "You fool, without my control all these animals will ATTACK US!" Animo replied. "Maybe, but they can't attack ME 'cuz I'm "hot stuff". What about you Animo? I'm pretty sure these animals are angry at you for turning them into mutants." Ben said back, Ben was right. All the animals were looking at Animo, they did NOT seem pleased with him. "...Eheheheheheheheheheh..." Animo said nervously, before getting ATTACKED BY THE ANIMALS!

*SCREEEEEEEECCCHHHHHHH! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ-BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! -EEK-EEK-EEK-EEK-EEK-EEK-EEK-EEK-* "-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"

[After beating Animo]

*WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-WWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-*

If you're wondering what that was, that was an ambulance. Animo was put on stretcher before being taken inside it and driven to the nearest hospital. I'm surprised that he managed to get out with a FEW STINGS AND SCRATCHES. But lucky for him I guess, but not so lucky as he'll most probably go to jail after some time. "Ooooohh..." Animo groaned as the ambulance drove away.

Meanwhile, Ben and the police were having a chat. The police wanted to thank Ben for helping catch and beat Animo, turns out he was wanted for quite some time now and the cops were trying to catch him for a while now. The cop that was talking to Ben said "Hey kid, I wanted to thank for helping us catch that "Animo" guy, we've been tryna catch him for a LOOONG TIME. But he always managed to escape from us, you were the one who finally caught him and stopped him and his crazy plans.", "Well, I am a superhero. It's just my job." Ben replied. The cop then pulled out some money and said "Here. You deserve it." before handing it to Ben, "W-wait... -r-REALLY?!" Ben asked. "Sure. You were the one who helped us find and stop Animo after all." the cop answered, "-WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Ben yelled as he jumped in the air! "This is AWESOOOOOOOOMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEE!" he then added, the cop just chuckled.

[When Ben got home]

When Ben got home, he was eating lots and lots of candy. He used the money the cop gave him to buy all of them, "Ahhh, nothin' like a "sweet" victory." Ben said to himself as he munched on more candies. But then, he stopped. He wondered that if there were bad guys like Dr. Animo, who knows what kinds of bad guys lie on EVEN WORSE PLACES. But I guess it didn't really matter, because whenever a bad guy is causing trouble Ben will always be there to stop them. But for now, time to celebrate a "sweet" victory.
