Returning
Stepping out of the hideout for the preparation of the death/Execution of Z'Skayr, Ken, alongside Vivia, Komand'r, Jeger, Rocket and Groot all stepped towards the Elevator towards the High security wards of Incarcecon, the area around them filled with destroyed machines/security droids, and unconscious guards, the first battle of this hour a very haunting one, one that would cement Ken's reputation as a ruthless yet merciful fighter.
Prying the doors open after it closed from the frantic button mashing of a fearful guard, the Lepidopterran gave a frightful scream before falling unconscious of his own volition, allowing the current group to step in and wait as the Elevator made it's descent.
Leaving the group in silence while Ken held his newest firearm to make sure it's adjustments were on point… with it's rounds modified to kill Ectonurites… permanently.
"So, you all know the plan after this, right?" turning to them over his shoulder, Komand'r nodded, albeit reluctantly.
"After we kill the Ectonurite, we find this Doctor Viktor and force him to open the portal back to your home, i… go with you alongside Vivia and Jeger wil return to his homeworld" nodding while setting the handgun in it's holster, Ken cracked his neck while Jeger flexed his claws, Rocket merely sat on Groot's left shoulder while checking his new toy Ken had made, an overcharged plasma rifle (DOOM eternal).
Staring at the doors while bringing forth his lancer, Ken watched the clear windows to see them now in an open area, the walls adorned with thousands upon thousands of Pods.
"How big even is this station?" stepping forward to stand beside Ken, Vivia spoke while gesturing to the pods.
"Cryostasis pods, to hold those who are too important to be placed on death row, mostly crime lords, dictators and emperors over thrown by their own homeworlds" turning to Ken with a small smirk, she spoke with a hint of mockery in her voice.
"The worst of the worst they say" snorting at her words, Ken watched the metal replaced the view.
Turning to Rocket as he held a holographic map showing their current location going down a highlighted shaft, he spoke.
"We're coming up on our exit, and we got a lot of guards waiting for us" nodding while dialling for Mechaware, Ken flashed green before he stood as the Galvanic Mechamorph before flowing onto the elevator, making them stop slowly a floor above their current target, opening the door to allow them to exit, Ken spoke with his head popping out of the floor.
"Meet you guys at the rally point" seeing them nod, Komand'r spoke quietly.
"Be careful" nodding as the doors opened, Ken returned to his human form.
Humming quietly to himself as the elevator came to a slow stop.
Ken inhaled slowly before rushing forward as the doors flew open.
Rolling past two Tetramand guards who weren't expecting the action, Ken shot them in the knee joints, non-lethal mind you as they cried in pain at the fresh wounds, aiming forward while ignoring the guards.
Ken ducked under a Acid attack. Showing a blue coloured Polymorph, it's little saucer a blocky square with a lone prong glowing above the goo.
Seeing this problem, Ken looked to the other guards stationed before him with weapons trained on him…
And smirked.
Dialling the Omnitrix quickly, Ken flashed green with silence following the area as Ken was a mass of shadows before Revenant exploded with ice coating those closest to him, entrapping a Piscciss Volann in place alongside a Humanoid with spikes jutting from his face and back.
Leaving them in place, Revenant gave a laugh as he slid over the floor as frost coated beneath his touch.
Flipping over a frozen Mecha suited Galvan, Ken landed over the dome helmet of the mech to peer inside to the frantic Galvan inside who screamed as Ken threw him into the Tetramand's.
Running forward with frost coating the area with guards being flash frozen left and right, the area ahead shook before it caved in to show Komand'r landing on top of a Dog like alien Ken hasn't seen on Ben 10.
Joining his charge was Vivia who was shoving guards into walls and each other ahead, Jeger howled while biting and clawing missed guards, Groot gave a battle cry while Rocket fired behind them, laughing merrily.
"KID I LOVE THIS GUN!"
Grinning as he dashed forward, Ken exploded once more with ice spines nailing limbs in place before Komand'r knocked them out alongside Vivia.
Coming to a stop at a large set of doors, the group stared at it for a second before Vivia began fiddling with the doors controls, flashing back to human, Ken aimed his lancer down the corridor while Groot made makeshift cover, with Rocket propping himself comfortably.
"Any plans after this?" turning to Vivia as the doors shifted open slowly as she fiddled further.
"I didn't think that far ahead to be honest" seeing Komand'r stare at him dumbfounded, Vivia paused in her fiddling with a stunned look.
"What do you mean you didn't plan this far!?" turning to Vivia as the door was jammed in place, Ken shrugged.
"This is a first for me breaking into a prison just to kill one guy" staring at him for a full moment, Vivia shook her head before gesturing to the door.
"Just, do what you need to do, we'll just plan as we go while getting out of here" nodding while stepping to the door, Ken inhaled slowly while moving to face a future enemy if left unchecked.
Stepping towards the open area where the sight of an unconscious Z'Skayr was set in place by the metal rods, his lone eye opened slowly before it opened wildly in alarm upon Ken removing his helmet.
Staring at Z'Skayr as he approached.
The Alien ghost stared at Ken in alarm before he began chuckling.
"So, Covrax finally sent someone to end me?" tilting his head at Ken, the human gave a snort
"More like one of you're lackeys' tried to stage a prison break… I just tagged along for the ride" stepping closer to Z'Skayr who watched Ken with unease. His eye widened as Ken took aim at Z'Skayr's head with the gun that glowed brightly.
"Any last words, Z'Skayr?" staring in his eye that showed genuine fear, the Ectonurite scowled.
"I should never have possessed that weakling" shrugging as the Ectonurite began to struggle.
Before a wave of energy pulsed through the area… making Ken fire in alarm, nailing Z'Skayr in the throat which bled black blood.
Looking at the door, Ken frowned as it opened with the others watching in confusion as emergency lights came on… until the voice of Viktor came through the intercom.
(If my master dies here, than so do you, Warlord Loki)
Looking up in confusion while moving to the exit, Vivia spoke in alarm as she stood beside a working terminal.
"Ken we need to leave!" moving to her side with the others, Ken watched the screen as pods began to open.
Oh shit.
"Elevator, right NOW!"
"What about the guards!?"
"We'll free them as we go!" running as he shifted into heatwave, the guards trapped in their ice prisons grew wary at the sudden action before they came back full focused after noticing the riots breaking out from the Cryostasis pods.
Stepping into the elevator with a few guards who were staring at Ken as he dropped the fried firearm, he brought out his lancer with a nervous Vivia looking at the guards while Komand'r stared forward with her hands glowing with a negative glow.
"What should I expect?" feeling Vivia turn to him with a flinch, she spoke with a small amount of fear in her eyes.
"I'd say a lot of arrogant psychopath's demanding respect before killing you" giving her a look, Ken turned to a Tetramand behind him with an aura of confusion, which made the Tetramand nod at him.
"Lovely" looking forward now, the doors opened with Ken's right hand snapping upward to catch a grotesque tongue aimed at one of the guards with them, sporting pincers behind a sharp point.
Seeing the Tetramand gulp, Ken twisted his hand sharply, making the bone in the tongue crack before he was yanked off his feet towards the growing yells of pain and anger.
Looking to the owner of the tongue, Ken found himself staring at a writhing serpent like alien with six arms and two legs along with a tail.
Prison garbs on it's serpentine form, it's red eyes gave Ken a glare before it flinched as Ken flipped to gain purchase with his feet.
Leaping upward while releasing the tongue with his momentum.
The revving of Ken's lancer garnered attention from those watching in growing alarm and horror as the snakelike alien was cut in two with blood and viscera flaying everywhere, showering Ken in bright pink blood before he aimed at the surrounding inmates, most wearing garbs of royalty while others wore rags with battle scars.
Glaring at them all as they began to advance towards him, a Large, rotund Detrovite on a catwalk watched with interest, before his eyes landed in the exposed dial of the Omnitrix on Ken's right wrist.
"HEY BOYS!" turning to the Fat blob Detrovite above, he brought out a tube like pipe that held smoke rising from the other end facing away from his mouth, he took a long inhale before he spoke.
"THIS GUYS HAS AZMUTH'S TOY ON HIS WRIST!" seeing all eyes look at him with renewed vigor, Ken glared as fighting could be heard from the guards and inmates.
"GET ME THAT TOY, BOYS!" getting a cheer from the inmates as they charged at Ken, the human gave a roar of challenge as he rushed forward, ducking under two large hands moving to grab his arms, Ken ripped into them with his lancer, making more blood fly everywhere before he moved to the next moron behind him, the large hand severed brutally as it shrunk down to a amphibian looking alien who gripped his hand in agony until Ken spun and fired a round into his head before continuing the slaughter.
Grabbing a lunging Arachnichimp by the throat as he lunged, Ken plunged his Lancer's blade into another aliens chest, the blade spinning violently while his now free hand grabbed the lower back of the chimp before pulling, leaving a trail of blood as his suits enhanced strength tore the monkey alien in two.
Grabbing his lancer to continue his current war path, Ken's lone target was the Detrovite who watched in amusement.
Ken's next victim was an unfortunate Pyronite who thought he could melt the Lancer, only for the spinning blades to cut through his arms and chest, leaving Ken with a more deadlier weapon a she began to go feral.
Roaring with laughter that made those smart to back away at the carnage, Ken was slapped aside as he tore a Lepidopterran's throat out.
Sliding on his feet while glaring at the Gorilla like alien before him, it had a scaly hide, large pointed ears with a red under belly that was exposed by it's torn prison garb, Ken watched as it beat it's chest in challenge… before Ken dialled the Omnitrix before a green flash blinded those too close.
Before a Heatwave hit them full force.
The alien who challenged him… turned into a charred corpse along side the other aliens too close.
Floating into the air with his feet releasing jets of fire.
Turning to the Detrovite who stared in alarm, Ken jettisoned forward to knee him in the face.
Knocking him off his feet, Ken reached down and held his face with the alien yelling in agony.
Gripping tightly while dragging the writhing ass hole to the ledge, Ken yelled over the riot with all staring at him.
"BACK IN YOUR CAGES!" seeing no one move but stare, Ken turned to the whimpering Detrovite who began to yell in horror before he turned into ash. Leaving Ken to shake his hand to get the ash off his hand.
"DO I HAVE TO REPEAT MYSELF!?" seeing the inmates gulp and look amongst themselves, the Guards began to round them up quickly while they were at wits end, with Viktor watching with a scowl at his plans being foiled.
Moving to leave as a Green flash came from below the control deck he hijacked, he looked down as feeling a hand clamp down on his right ankle before being pulled down.
Looking down to the great height below, Viktor looked up to the sight of Gladiolus hovering in place.
"Hey Vik, mind giving me a way home?" seeing the Transyllian about to insult him, Ken kicked his head which knocked him out cold.
"Actually, You have no choice"
It had been several hours since Ken had gone after Viktor, and so far, the Celestials were looking over Viktor's lab and workstation after halting the Theo Khufan's attempted launch, the only injury was Kevin and Ben sporting bruises alongside Hanzo and Akali.
Aranea was busy pacing in worry while Max and Angela were looking over the notes Viktor had left behind.
"This is pretty advanced despite this all being made of old ship parts" sparing a glance to Max while looking at a datapad.
2B was sitting on a makeshift seat beside Venessa who had fell asleep in her arms.
The group alongside the gathered villains sat in silence with Volcana resting her chin on her right hand.
Looking to the frantic heroes, she went to speak if not for the air in the open area of the lab to shimmer before lightning arced into a doorway of sorts.
Making them all tense for a fight before two figures stepped through, one showing a Citrakayah on her hands and knees throwing up, while her companion garbed in a cloak to hide her body. Stood hunched over beside her.
Staring at the sight, Aranea went to speak until another figure stepped through as the portal closed.
Showing Ken, covered in blood, and looking tired.
"Hey, guys, Not my best idea" before he could fall down, both Aranea and Kara latched onto him before he fell unconscious, his head having a splitting headache after possessing Viktor's mind to force a portal open.
"Wake me, when I'm on a soft bed"
