Summary: Upon becoming a frog like being with multiple tongues and finally having a power, Bryant decides to help himself and people in need. But without a license he must be discreet or be labeled a vigilante.
Guess: Just a little game for those who do know 'Ben 10'. I plan on doing a few more of these just for something new. Anyways, guess of which of the 10 original aliens, the 3 of them are my favorites.
Enjoy the chapter, and let me know what your guesses are, oh and I'm always happy to read a review whether it's a compliment or even tips like one guy gave me about summarizing. Sorry about the long tangent.
Bryant is over the moon with his new powers even still, "Maybe I can test it out on a bad guy without anyone getting wind of it. Besides, 'great power' and all that. Waddling over out of the alleyway he sees a guy wearing a visor on the street and instantaneously he watches a villain with cannons for hands burst out of a convenience store with a bunch of money in his pockets. Not used to fighting really, Bryant stays back for a moment to see how things go. "Is Cyclops over there a hero", he wonders. Flipping a switch on his visor the man blasts laser beams at the crook which he immediately counters with cannonballs launched out of his hands. The man shouts, "Give it up Hand Cannon"! The guy just laughs back to the response, "Why would I answer to you, you aren't even a proper hero". The two go at each other for a decent amount of time until Bryant figures, "Let me try something". Running over as quick as he can given the stubby legs he juts out his quad tongues and as Hand Cannon shoots the ammo towards the laser man Bryant catches and swallows both balls at the same time. "*gulp*…Mm, spicy". Hand Cannon grimaces, "Who do you think you are freak, this is between us". Bryant counters with a smirk, "Consider me a third party", before spitting out the digested balls of explosive energy at the bad guy. Sent flying into the store's wall with a smash, he surprisingly still gets back up with a crick in his neck, "Ugh, that all ya got", he taunts. Before anything else happens, a laser beam blasts Hand Cannon square in the head, knocking him out for good this time. Bryant's attention turns to the laser man, "Not bad. Never seen you before around here. What's your vigilante name", he questions. Bryant doesn't put much thought into It, "Uh, Regurgitator". He stretches out his hand, to shake but then Bryant's watch begins beeping about 5 slow times and the next thing he knows he's back to himself. "What", he says simply confused. The laser man retracts his hand, "What was that"? Bryant is just as confused, "Beats me". Looking to his watch he notices it's red right now.
"Well, whatever it was thanks for the help. Hopefully a real hero will be here soon or at least the cops", says the laser man. Bryant nods his head, "You're a vigilante huh? You could go to jail for this, you know"? He already knows, "Yeah, well it's what I do to pass the time plus it makes everyone including Pop Step happy". Bryant briefly questions, "Who's Pop Step"? The laser man shrugs it off and reveals his name, "She's just a friend who helps people out much like me. By the way, my name's Ichimoku Samazu". He reaches his hand out a again and this time Bryant takes it, "Bryant Allen". Ichimoku then turns to walk away, "Well I'd better get out of here, you should too. Next time we see each other I'll help you out, huh"? Taking off himself as advised he noticed the watch is green again and due to a glitch or something it only now says, 'Mutatgen acquired, alien form unlocked' as he presses the button again. The face pops up and Bryant cycles it to the right to find another new silhouette, this one of a bulky humanoid with bat ears. Pressing the button, a second time instead of the face which he discovers puts the face back down without transformation. Thinking to himself he decides to walk around the streets playing with it some more. "So, every time I touch someone now I get an 'alien' form that has something to do with whoever I touched, whether looks or maybe…maybe the power itself they had", he concludes. "Well, I should save it, I guess. The more I use it, the more I should understand about it". Heading back to his place he takes another alleyway so he can fiddle around with the watch some more and not attract attention. But then he hears little footsteps running behind him and turning around he sees a little girl with grey hair a horn on the side of her head in a hospital gown, with that being all she's wearing. "Please, don't let him take me back mister, I just can't handle it anymore". Bryant holds her gently by the shoulders, "Calm down little girl. Who are you running from"? She points behind her to show a man with a wearing a purple beak shaped cone over his mouth and a green bomber jacket. Briefly the watch exclaims, 'Mutagen acquired, alien form unlocked, confusing Allen. "Who are you", questions Bryant to the man. He states rather calmly, "My name is Kai Chisaki, and I believe you have my lost property. My daughter as you would call her".
"Aren't you a bit young to be a father", Bryant frowns. Kai gives a dead, concentrative stare, "Those are the facts. Now unless you want me to TAKE her, I'd suggest you hand her over". Looking at his getup he gives an estimated guess, "You Yakuza"? He responds proudly, "The leader of the Shie Hassaikai to be exact. I am someone who you do NOT want to get on the bad side of". Bryant looks down at the girl standing beside him rather blankly, "Why did you run exactly"? She goes to respond but Kai interrupts, "Go ahead Eri, tell the man why you ran". She then says nothing. "See, she's fine. Just confused. Now, let's end this peacefully before you get hurt", says Kai confidently. Looking at the girl, Eri, one more time Bryant raises his watch up, "Nah, I don't think I will". Enraged, the mobster simply touches the ground and spikes started forming right at him and her. Quickly pressing the button upon seeing this and starting to cycle he finds a third silhouette now, one of a clock with arms and legs. "Here goes, better be good", he shouts slamming down the face. Feeling the aching pain immediately, his arms become a kind of brass or copper plated metal, his feet turning circular like an elephant. His head forms into a rectangular shape with his face being digital with a blank emoji type expression. A wind-up key like the old alarm clocks forms atop his head and finally he feels even his insides change as they become cogs and gears, with a transparent little circle of glass in the middle of his chest. Now having a German accent as well, Bryant picks up the little girl onto his shoulder and begins to run the other way, "No time to try out this new power yet. Need to get some real space to fight, hang on Eri". As the morphing road hits him from behind Eri falls off to the sidewalk and Bryant falls on his face before getting up as quick as he can in this bulky body, "Ugh, guess being made of metal isn't such a durable thing. Kai brags, "Whatever quirk you have, one touch and you'll be parts on the floor". He backs up from the psychopath, "Back you son of a bitch or I'll…do something to you". He just comes closely but slow with his hand outstretched. Concentrating, Bryant attempts anything, "I said, BACK OFF"! With a burst of energy, a green beam flashes over Kai and he freezes in place to Bryant's curiosity. Going over hesitantly he gets it, "I see. I'm a giant clock, so I can stop time. But how long"? He goes over to Eri and helps her up, "Are you alright Eri"? She speaks quietly, "I'm okay. Thank you, but I should get out of here". He stops her by grabbing a hold of her soft little hand, "Hey. Why don't you come with me? I have an apartment. Plus, with him frozen he won't be able to find us if we're careful. What do you say? I'll take care of you until we can find you a real home". She refuses, "Wherever I go, he'll find me". Bryant touches her faces and kneels down, as much as he can, "I promise. He won't hurt you. At least let me take you somewhere". She thinks about it, "Like where"? Bryant thinks on it, "Um, maybe the high school down the street from my place will take you. You've got powers, don't you"? Eri thinks on it for a long while, "Okay". As his watch beeps and turns him back, Bryant holds out his hand, "Then let's go"
