Dan 10 Ultimate Summer EP 40: Ulti-Tricked Part 4


Intro:

A green glowing, steel pod was flying through space, hurtling towards earth as it crashes, making a huge green flash.

The camera zooms out from the glowing symbol on the Ultimatrix as Dan looks up close at it.

He then activates it while smirking at the camera, raising his hand high and slapping it down on the core.

The background turns all green as Dan morphed into Four Arms, who pumps his upper fists while cracking his lower ones with a smirk.

A white number appears on the left side, starting at 1.

"Dan 10!"

2: Heatblast ignites 2 fire balls in his hands.

"Dan 10."

3: XLR8 zooms into the right.

4: Diamondhead swaps his right arm across as it turns into a blade.

"DAN 10!"

5: Cannonbolt uncurls and poses.

"Dan 10!"

"Dan 10."

6: Upgrade stretches out of his puddle form.

7: Grey Matter hops off the 7 and lands into a crouch, giving a thumbs up and a smile.

"DAN 10!"

8: Water Hazard slides in on his water blasts and raises his fists up.

"Dan 10."

9: Wildvine extends his legs and stretch out his right fingers while holding seeds in his left one, chucking them offscreen.

10: Big Chill phases through the number and floats briefly before zooming near the camera.

"DAN 10!"

Big Chill's head turns back into Dan's as it rotates.

The camera zooms out to reveal Max and Kate by his side.

Dan gave a low-five as his Grandfather as Kate crosses her arm and shakes her head playfully with a smile.

The 2 then ran off-screen, making Dan run towards the camera with a look determination.

He then froze as the series logo appeared above along with his alien, 5 on each side.


At a campsite, Max and Phil were working on something as Kate makes lunch on a grill. Dan, on the other hand, was upset as he kept cycling through his aliens without control. "Uggg…. So hungry." Heatblast groans out before changing to Wildvine. "Here, Dan. It's not much for lunch. But since Grandpa is busy, eat up!" Kate sat down a plate with a sandwich and a glass of water as Wildfine grins out. "Cool! I'm starving!" Only for the plant to change into Grey Matter, making him drop into a glass of water. Just as he swam to the top, he morphs into Cannonbolt, squashing the table underneath. "Crushed it." FLASH "And torched it." Heatblast was sprayed by foam as Kate puts out the fire around.

Just then, Max calls out to his grand-kids. "How are you kids holding up?" "Fine, Grandpa!" XLR8 got upset as he hisses out. "I wish I never found this stupid Ultimatrix in the first place!" FLASH "I can't eat!" FLASH "I can't sleep!" FLASH "I can't even be me anymore!" Big Chill cries in dismay as he curls up in sadness. Kate gained a sympathy look and pats him "It's okay, Dan. We'll figure out this problem, somehow." "Good news!" Both kids looks to see Phil approaching with his tablet. "I analyzed the data from before and figured out the problem! It seems that the source of the Gauntlet's malfunction is, in fact, Vilgax himself!" "And… That's good, how?" "Cause the answer is so simple! All you need to do is to defeat Vilgax." FLASH

Four Arms got up and glares down at the man. "How am I suppose to beat him when he kicked my butt the first time, got rid of my most powerful alien and my transformations keep—" FLASH "My Transformations are—" He keeps shifting between the strongest and magma alien as he kept getting frustrated. "Transformations—" FLASH "Transformations—" FLASH "Transfor-" FLASH "Trans-" "AAAAHHHHH!" Four Arms smashes the ground in anger and sulks off, turning into Grey Matter as he frowns with crossed arms. "We can fix him, right?" "Let's focus on finding Vilgax, for now." Max answers the girl as Phil perks up. "Speaking of Squid face, the dish just picked him up!"


At Mt. Megaldon, Vilgax's ship was hovering near it as a laser cuts into part of the mountain, all while the Rust Bucket races onto the scene as Water Hazard glances at the alien ship. "What?! Mt. Megaldon! But I just fixed that!" FLASH "Dan, it's best if you wait in the back, regarding your situation." Max said as Heatblast sulks and walks back, sitting on the ground as he pulls his knees to his chest. "What could he possibly want from here? Other than a beat-down from Dan, right!?" Kate's expression changes to concern as her brother just sulks and sighs, not even making a quip. "Dan?" "Just stop, Kate."

"Well… He's not here to admire the view!" Phil points out to his old friend. "If he's trying to break orbit, he need to replenish a lot of power! While he's doing it with the magma energy in the volcano, we have time to analyze the data and undo whatever he did to the Ultimatrix." Heatblast taps the watch symbol in concern. "But what if we don't do it?" RUMBLE All questions and thoughts were interrupted as the laser cuts open a big crack, letting the war ship lowers down so 2 tubes can suck the lava up. Unfortunately, the Rust Bucket was heading towards the lava. "Max! Stop it!" "I can't! The brakes won't work!" Heatblast got a look of determination, as if his hero spark was recovered. "Maybe I can!"

He climbs up to the roof and fire a duel stream of flames, slowing the RV down. "Come on!" Just as the Rust Bucket came to a stop, he accidentally morphed into Cannonbolt and stumbled over. "DAN!" Kate and the others cried out in dismay as he kept switching aliens. "OH, MAN! OH, MAN! OH, MAN! OH, MAN! OH, MAN!" Just as he morphed back to Heatblast, he quickly fires, using his flames as propulsion to fly onto the top of Vilgax's ship and lands safely. "Thank you for bringing me the Ultimatrix." Heatblast looks to his left to see Vilgax turning around, glaring his red eyes at the symbol on his chest as the hero narrows back. "You survive our last encounter thanks to it. Most impressive." "Hey! My eyes are up here, Vilgax!" "Are you ready, boy?" The villain taunts as Heatblast responds back. "Get ready to be heat-blasted!" But just as he charge, he switch to Cannonbolt, making the round alien curl up and spins at Vilgax, only to switch to Water Hazard. "Oh, great!"

But he quickly recovers and blasts himself, feet forward. "Aqua kick!" Except Vilgax mealy grabbed him and slammed him down, knocking him away as he snarls. "Pitiful!" But Water Hazard quickly flies back. "Not so fast, Vilgax! Here's water in your—" FLASH "Arms!?" Four Arms said in shock. He quickly blocks a laser and raises his arms up to stop a spinning Axe kick from the warlord, pushing him back as he charged for a punch. FLASH CLANG "OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!" Grey Matter cries out as he holds his arm in pain. He then dodges and runs from the crimson eye beams as he spoke. "This is hopeless! How am I supposed to fight if I just keep changing at the worst times?!"

He screeches to a stop as he spoke. "Come on, Dan! Think! How can I fight Vilgax like this?!" He then tires to think of something when an idea hits him. "If I can't stop alien switching, maybe I can work with it!" He then rushes at Vilgax, making the warlord fires another laser that sent Grey Matter flying. He quickly hops around some debris and flies above the Villain. "Okay, Ultimatrix! Give me someone that I can work with!" FLASH

"Big Chill?" He quickly breaths a gust of ice, coating the bad guy's head, much to his annoyance. He broke free and tires to attack Big Chill, but he merely dodged and phased through his attacks. He then switched to XLR8 and circles around Vilgax, making a cyclone that lifts the alien up. As the speedster came to a stop, he switched to Four Arms. "Four Arms! Eat fist!" As the alien fell, he threw a quadruple uppercut that sent Vilgax tumbling to a stop, some ways ahead.

The alien roars as he charges while Diamondhead fires some Crystals, making Vilgax block as he quickly fires some shards before him, erupting to pillars that knocked him back. He then switched to Heatblast and flung a few explosive fireballs and uses his dragon's breath. They didn't damage him, but they did blinded him with smoke. Giving Cannonbolt the chance to knock into him and launched away. FLASH "It's awful hard to fight when you have no idea what's coming, do ya, Squidbeard?" Wildvine taunts as he stretches out his legs..

He leaps over a punch and entangled the wrapping in his legs, using the momentum to slam him over head. He then deploys a bunch of seed bombs to bombard the alien, engulfing him in smoke. He then knees and pants, exhausting from using some many aliens at once. "Well… That should do it." "Impressive." The plant alien's eye widened in shock as he glances up, seeing Vilgax standing without a scratch. "WHAT?! Even after all that?!" "It appears that the Ultimatrix is more powerful then I originally thought. Giving a boy to challenge me: Vilgax the Conqueror! I shall take it as it clearly belongs to someone that knows it better and can truly wield it. Unlike a child who uses it as a toy."

"I don't think so!" Wildvine bellows as he made a whip in his right arm and lashes it out only for it to be caught as Vilgax back handed him to the floor. Just then, a floating orb beeped, alerting the titan. "The molten energy of your planet has finished refueling my ship. I can now resume conquering the galaxy."


Meanwhile, Max was hooking up a vest that is strapped to him as he hooks a bungee cord to the RV. "Max, what are you doing?!" "I'm going after Dan!" "Are you crazy!?" "He's my Grandson, Phil! He needs me!" "You are really going to jump onto a flying spaceship over a lava lake?!" Phil question in disbelief at the crazy and impossible stunt. "OUT OF MY WAY!" Kate cries as she charges past the adults, with a fire extinguisher and oven mutts, leaping down much to Max's shock. "KATE!"


Wildvine tires to push up, but Vilgax's foot pins him down. "You are a fool to come here, child!" The Warlord snarls out with glaring eyes. "HEY! NO ONE CALLS MY BROTHER A FOOL BUT ME!" "KATE!?" The plant exclaims as he looks up to see the teen girl blasts foam in Vilgax's face, making him stumbled back as the older kid latches on and yanks at his tentacles, whacking her weapon on his head. "I'm not afraid of you!" She exclaims, but all it does is make the alien angered as he grabs her and bellow. "ENOUGH!" He throws Kate, sending her crashing away as Wildvine gasp out. "KATE!"

He was lucky enough to change back to XLR8 as he quickly speeds and grabs Kate, just as Vilgax fired his eye beams at the girl. He placed her down as he switched to Diamondhead, who quickly made a bunch of crystal appeared and shields them both. "Get out of here, Kate! I'll hold him off as best as I can!" "No way! I'm your partner! We can take this guy!" Kate grins out, only to be surprised as her brother was actually doubting themselves. "We can't! Vilgax isn't like Animo, or Steam Smythe, or the Bugg Brothers! He's way stronger, maybe even too much for me!"

His hand starts shaking as he looks down. "If you got hurt because of me or Grandpa, I'll never forgive myself. I can't beat him Kate. None of my aliens can. He's the one villain I could not defeat." But the girl softly smiles and steadies his hand. "Yes you can. Believe, Dan. Because deep down, I always do. Just as you do it yourself." FLASH Four Arms sighs out. "Siblings forever…" He gave a sad smile as he grabs hold of her. "Dan!? What are…" "I need you to take care of Grandpa for me!" He chucks her back to the RV, just as the beams broke though the crystals and knocks the alien away.

"I got you!" Max exclaim as he grabs his granddaughter. "Grandpa, I'm worried! Dan's scared!" "Sometimes, fear is the best motivation." The elder responds as they all look up in worriment at the rising ship, all hoping Dan will make it back.


The Alien hero sat up and rub his head as he notices that he was on an elevator heading down to the ship. But he also notices the oven mitt in his hand. "Kate." "Welcome to my control room!" Four Arms glances up in surprise at stopping in a giant circle room with Vilgax nearby. "Bearer of the Ultimatrix!" The alien roars as he charges for a punch, but the squid alien merely unleashes his tendrils and grabs him, lifting him up to his shock. "This fight is over." He then taps and rotates on the Ultimatrix symbol, making a flash of light, once again.

Dan looks down in shock at being human! "What!? I'm myself!? But what did you?!" "Something that your incompetence can't do: Fixed the Ultimatrix's malfunction." He then shrinks his arms as he grabs a device. "Brace yourself. The removal process is…" The device fold out a drill that is sparking red energy. "… Most unpleasant." Thinking quickly, Dan shoves the mitt to the drill, forcing it to shock Vilgax! "AAAHHHHH!" The boy was released as he dashes away from the Warlord. "Insolent child!" "If he fixed it, then I can choose my aliens again!" Dan grins out Vilgax mealy smirks at the declaration. "None of the 9 aliens you have posses the power to stop this ship!" "Actually, there's one you haven't seen yet! And your about to meet number 10, right now!" FLASH


Upgrade's goop flew from the watch and spins around the boy, engulfing him as his right hand morphed into the tech alien's while the left does the same. His neck stretched out as his eye ring shines, posing as the transformation is complete.


"And his name is Upgrade! Hope you enjoy the flight! Because I'm sending this ship into the trash!" He quickly slithers away as Vilgax's eyes widened in shock. "A Galvanic Mechamorph!? NOO! ANYTHING BUT THAT!" The giant alien gives chase as he blasts red beam, but Upgrade's goo body merely dodged them as he reaches the main computer. "Time for a massive downgrade!" He merges with the device.


"We need to do something, Grandpa!" "We done all we can, Kate. It's all up to Dan, now." Max comforts his granddaughter as Phil notices something with the warship. "And he might be doing it! LOOK!" They all glance up to see the thrusters shutting down as a few explosions rocked the ship, sending it crashing down into the lava, courtesy of Upgrade.


"NOOOO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY SHIP!?" Vilgax roars out as the place was slightly shaking. "Not sure! But you should have someone look at it." Having enough of the kid's smart remarks and his interference, Vilgax grabs and tears Upgrade out, holding him by his chest and dial as he glares as Upgrade tires using his laser eye to break free, but Vilgax didn't even flinch from the beams. "But you have doomed us both, child! You can't run and the Ultimatrix can't save you now! I will at least have the pleasure of taking you down with me!"

As Upgrade struggles, he keeps whacking his brain for an idea, glancing around when he looks at the symbol on his chest, giving him an seemly impossible, crazy, but could work, idea. "HERE GOES SOMETHING!" Much to Vilgax's shock, Upgrade actually dove into the Ultimatrix itself! As if things can't get stranger, the symbol then starts glowing green. "What is?!" FLASSSSHHH "AHHH!" Vilgax was knocked back, standing up while gritting his teeth as the light dies down to reveal Dan!

But just then, the boy looks at the Ultimatrix, and to his amazement, it actually changed shape! It went from a hand guard to a actually gauntlet that covers his forearm! It is colored green on top with white on the bottom, with some green tubes that appears in some patches on the sides. There is a black line that is connected to the dial, that is now white with 4 black square markings The line is connected to a big square green button at the other end. It lastly has bigger sliver and green tubes that goes under it to the other side, one on the front end and the other on the back.

"WHOA! What's up with the Ultimatrix!?" "ENOUGH!" Vilgax roars out as he charges his eyes as Dan glares back. "Couldn't agree more!" He slaps on the dial, making the flash as he dodges the lasers. "I will destroy you! Then, I will destroy your entire world!" "You see! That's crossing the line, Squid head!" Vilgax turns to see XLR8 speeds towards him. "Trying to destroy me is one thing!" FLASH "But now you have the nerve to threaten my home!" Four Arms bellows out as he knocks him across the face, before switching to Water Hazed to spray him, then Diamondhead to knock him back with shards.

Wildvine lands and stretches his arms, pulling Vilgax back. "I'm not done, Vilgax!" FLASH "Because you're washed up!" Water Hazed knocks him into a wall before getting frozen by Big Chill. "You want my Ultimatrix, Vilgax?" FLASH Grey Matter pushes his crown down, blinding him. "Sorry! You can't have it!" He leaps off as Vilgax tries to grab him. FLASH Heatblast made a huge fire ball and tosses it, exploding and sending the Warlord across the room. Cannonbolt pinballs around and smashed into Vilgax multiple times, leaving the Alien vulnerable to being encased by Diamondhead's crystals! "THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! HOW CAN A CHILD DEFEAT VILGAX THE CONQUEROR!?"

"Yeah! Except I had tons of practice with rabid changing, recently!" Diamondhead taunts as he leans against the sculpture. "My win and your lose, Squid head!" But just then, alarms erupt all over the place, making Diamondhead glances around in concern. "Oh, boy!"


"Oh, no! It's going down!" Max exclaims in horror as the ship sank beneath the lava, destroying it for good as the group realized something: Dan didn't make it out. "…Dan?" Kate whispers out as tears starts forming. She couldn't take it and burst out the water works, crying in her Grandfather as he comforts her, both upset at the loss of a young boy that was there family. "He's really….. Really…. Gone?!" "I know, Kate…. I know." Max whisper as he felt a hurt inside him.

How is he going to tell Carl and Sandra that there son sacrificed himself in a volcano? "He saved the entire Universe. But he made the ultimate sacrifice." Phil whisper out in moaning. "Uuh… Ultimate Sacrifice?" The group widens there eyes and whirls around to see a smirking XLR8, turning back to Dan with crossed arms. "How can I make the 'Ultimate Sacrifice' if I'm standing right here? By the way, if want to escape an alien ship just in half a sec, XLR8 is the guy you need!" "DAN!" They all cried out in joy and amazement as they all hug the laughing kid.


Later in Portland. Dan was retelling what has happen on the ship while showing off his new Ultimatrix. "And then Heatblast blasted him across the room with a giant meteor! Then Cannonbolt smashed into him and bounced around like a pinball! Then Diamondhead trapped him in a crystal prison! And the most amazing thing was, I was switching aliens, except I was in complete control!" "Whoa! That's sound so cool!" Kate breaths out as the boy stands up. "Here! Let me show you. Let's go Heatblast!"

Only… Dan was still human after a few mins, trying again as he focuses. "Come on, Heatblast!" He gave up as he taps the Gauntlet in annoyance. "Is this thing still broken after all that!?" "Not really." Dan and Kate looks up to see Phil and Max approaches as the technician explains. "When you used Upgrade to boost the Ultimatrix, it allowed you access to a feature that allows you to switch aliens and has no limit! But it was only a temporary version! It only lasted long enough to allow you to defeat Vilgax and escape his ship. To all appearances, the Ultimatrix was function before Gax ever showed up."

Dan frowns at having to start over again after getting a cool feature as Kate gave a small smile. "Looks like back to Square one, Bro!" Phil comments as he hosted a backpack. "The Ultimatrix is truly a revolutionary piece of alien technology! And I have the feeling there's more to it. But… I'm off." The man starts leaving as Kate calls out. "Wait! Where are you going?!" "I'm need somewhere else. But I'm sure we'll meet up. Take care, Tennysons!"

As the group watch Phil leaves, Kate comments. "Man! He sure is a smart cookie!" "If you like him, why don't you marry him?!' Dan sly grin out as Kate playfully shoves with a giggle. "Groosss!" "HAHA! Got ya!" Max then spoke out. "Okay! Since we had a wild trip so far and given today, I think it's best if we cut it short and head home." Both kids looks at each other in disbelief of ending there trip early because of Vilgax's attack.

Only for the elder to give a sneaky look as he exclaims. "GOT YA!" They all laugh and race back to the RV. "Last one to the Rust Bucket is a wart on Vilgax's nose!" Max and Kate rushes inside as Dan looks out of doorway as he exclaims. "BEST SUMMER OF MY LIFE!" But as he raises his left arm in joy, the dial shows a new icon of a figure with 2 spikes on it's shoulders. Just then, The Ultimatrix starts shifting between 9 other icons that looks like the other aliens, only they look different. More… Evolved. Dan may not know it yet, but he's about to get the Ultimate Upgrade!
