Ben 10: Alternate Alien
Chapter 15: Ben 10 vs, (Part 1)
Two weeks later, we see Ben and his family.
Where were they, exactly?
Well, a while back, the Plumbers built a space station in Earth's orbit, in order to monitor anything going on.
And that's where Ben, Looma, the kid, Kivi and Razor were.
Looma was able to cradle Maxwell and Bridget in her powers arms.
Kivi and Razor guarded her.
Ben, Lumi and Kenny had just gotten to the main computer.
Rook-Shar and Eunice were nearby.
Ben, "alright you two, let's get this started.
And with that, they all transformed.
First, Ben turned into, "GreyMatter."
Then, he activated the Ultimate Function.
He turned into a Galvan in a rocket powered chair and headset, (they looked a lot like Modok), and said, "Ultimate GreyMatter."
Kenny turned into, "BrainMatter."
And finally, Lumi turned into her new Galvan form.
They looked like Gwen 10's GreyMatter, but with blue hair, the black and white shirt and dark blue pants.
She spoke the name, "HeadPiece!"
And with that, all three of them locked themselves in their forms, and began working at the computer, using their vast intellect to locate where their enemies could be.
All three wracked through every single idea they had on where they could be headed, using any clues they had gathered.
It was roughly an hour later, before our heroes finally came up with something.
The three of them transformed back into their human forms.
Ben, "I think we've got it!"
Shar, "what?"
Kenny, "all of these bad guys are obviously targeting dad."
Lumi, "and since we can't track them, they must be using either magic, or very advanced tech to cloak themselves."
Ben, "and they must be changing their location all of the time."
Lumi, "and since there's so many of them, they're gonna strike all together."
Kenny, "and where would they strike?"
Ben, "wherever I am."
Kenny, "or rather, where they think you'll be."
Lumi, "so that leaves only a few places for them to attack."
Ben, "Plumber HQ."
Kenny, "our home, but that would be too obvious."
Lumi, "they might even attack this space station."
Ben, "but if they wanna draw me out, they'll attack something I care about."
All three spoke in unison, "Mister Smoothies."
Looma, Eunice and everyone around them face palmed.
Looma, "honey, I doubt they'll attack a mere eating establishment."
That's when the station got an alert!
Lumi, "what's happening?"
Eunice went to the computer, "we've received word that…. Mister Smoothies is being attacked."
Kenny, "we called it!"
Ben, "who's attacking?"
Eunice, "the attackers are Zombozo and his crew, and Captain Nemesis!"
Another alert popped up.
Ben, "what now?"
Eunice, "Plumber HQ is now under attack!"
Kenny, "by who?"
Eunice, "Servantis and Kyber!"
Another alert.
Eunice, "Gwendolyn, Hope, Cooper and Kevin are protecting their college from an attack. Dark Star, Animo and Vulkanis are the attackers!"
And that's when the screen started to glitch.
The screen changed to footage of Psychobos and Malware.
Psychobos, "greetings, inferiors! As you may be witnessing, many of the criminals you've put away are now attacking various places in Bellwood. The only way we will stop, is if Benjamin Tennyson agrees to meet all of us at the coordinates we've provided."
Malware, "a fight between all of us, and Tennyson. Winner takes all. You have five minutes to broadcast this message all across Bellwood."
Psychobos, "if you don't, we shall continue our rampage."
The screen flickered back to normal.
Shar, "this is obviously a trap."
Ben, "of course it is. But it doesn't matter. I need to face them."
Looma, "are you sure Ben?"
Ben, "I'm sure. Eunice, broadcast this."
Eunice began filming Ben with the camera.
Ben, "alright. All of you, I've fought before. And almost every time, I've won. But now, you may actually give me a challenge, with all of you together. Fine, I'll meet you all. But on some conditions. One, if I lose, you leave my friends and family alone. And two…. I better get a fair fight. I'll meet you at the coordinates."
And with that, Eunice stopped filming.
Ben, "Lumi, Kenny?"
The kids looked to their father.
Ben, "I want you guys to monitor the fight from afar. Only try to help as a last resort. If something happens to me, you'll be the last lines of defense. Alright?"
The kids nodded.
Ben turned to his wife, "Looma, I want you to stay here with the kids, so none if you get hurt."
Looma, "of course."
Ben, "Shar, make sure to call everyone of our friends and family to stay here while the fighting goes on."
Shar, "of course."
Razor would stay behind to protect Looma and the babies.
And so, Ben, Lumi, Kenny and Kivi went to the teleportera, and beamed down to Earth.
….
Later, we see Kevin and Ben's cars and the Proto-Truk park outside of a large warehouse at the edge of Bellwood.
Kevin had shown up for something important.
Ben and Kevin stood there, with Kenny, Lumi, Kivi, Rook, Young One and Gwendolyn all standing near the cars.
Hope, Cooper and Rayona were watching Devin.
Ben, "what do you need Kevin?"
Kevin, "I've got an idea to give you an advantage in the fight."
Ben, "what?"
Kevin, "scan me."
Ben, "pardon?"
Kevin, "I'm an Osmosian, remember? I can absorb stuff. So if you scanned me…?"
Ben, "... I could absorb powers!"
Kevin, "and on top of that, if you absorbed some of the power from Kenny's DuoTrix, you could gain the ability to combine your aliens!"
Ben, "I gotta say Kevin, this is one of your best ideas yet."
And with that, Ben scanned Kevin, and quickly transformed.
Ben's Osmosian form looked like Ben 10,000, but with spikes on his forehead and forearms, kinds like what Agregor had.
Ben declared this alien, "Imbibe!"
Gwendolyn, "why'd you call it that?"
Imbibe, "it's another word for absorb, kinda like how Osmosian is a play on words for Osmose, which also means absorb."
Gwendolyn, "when did you get so smart and mature?"
Ben, "I started a family. I had to grow up."
Gwendolyn smiled at her cousin.
Imbibe turned to Kenny and knelt down to him.
Imbibe, "alright, you ready son?"
Kenny, "ready dad."
Imbibe touched the DuoTrix, and began to carefully absorbing its power. Not too much though.
As this happened, the Ultimatrix began to change!
As Imbibe turned back into Ben, the Ultimatrix looked different.
It was now a deeper green, was slightly smaller, but looked stronger, and had two small buttons under the faceplate.
One green, to turn aliens Ultimate instantly.
And one was purple, to combine aliens.
Ben, "Ultimatrix, identify any changes made to you."
The watch spoke, "use of Osmosian alien has caused transformation of Galvin tech. This tech can now combine five sets of ultimate alien forms."
Rook, "the Ultimatrix seems to have recalibrated."
YO, "shall we give it a new name?"
Ben, "hmm, how about…. The BioTrix?"
Lumi, "I like it!"
Kenny, "cool!"
Ben, "now, before I go to fight these guys, anyone else have anything to say?"
Rook, "my son has something to say."
Ben turned to Rook.
Rook, "my son has chosen a name early."
Young One stepped forward, "I have chosen the name; Rook Zane."
Kevin, "why that?"
Young One, Zane, "Zane is a name that means ice."
Ben was starting to catch on.
Gwendolyn, "and why did you choose a name that means ice?"
Zane, "because-"
Ben, "he's in love with Lumi."
Everyone was shocked for a moment, especially Lumi as she looked at a blushing Zane.
Lumi, "is that true?"
Zane, "y-yes."
Silence reigned for a moment before Lumi hugged Zane.
Zane, "L-Lumi?"
Zane, "you are so sweet!"
The adults chuckled for a moment, until Ben grew serious once more.
Ben, "alright…. Wish me luck guys."
Everyone gave Ben a nod as he started making his way towards the warehouse. But before he could get close, the large doors of the warehouse crashed open, showing Vulkanis in his large robotic suit.
Vulkanis, "Tennyson!"
Ben, "hey Vulkanis. Long time no see!"
Vulkanis, "cut the bull-shit Tennyson. I ain't waiting for the others!"
Vulkanis charged at Ben, who quickly transformed into, "Goop!"
Upgrade launched himself away from the pissed off villain, and quickly activated the Ultimate Function, turning into, "Ultimate Goop!"
U-Goop was made of dark green slime that burned the ground under him. The metal device at the top of his head was now attached to his back with metal that can't be melted.
As Vulkanis turned to him, U-Goop stretched his arms, grabbing the arms, quickly melting them off!
Vulkanis staggered as U-Goop threw the arms away and grabbed the legs, melting them off as well!
Vulkanis was left there, laying on the ground.
U-Goop turned back into Ben, and he turned around, and made his way into the warehouse.
Vulkanis just said, "uh, we'll call it a draw?"
Ben looked around, trying to spot anyone in the building.
That's when he heard something heading towards him through the air. Ben launched himself to the ground, avoiding a large wrecked car that crashed into the wall.
Ben quickly got back to his feet, and saw Zombozo and his crew emerge from the shadows.
Zombozo, "well, well, well. If it isn't Ben Tennyson. How's FrightWig?"
Ben, "much better away from you freaks."
ThumbSkull, "enough talk! I wanna smash him!"
Zombozo, "patience my friend, patience."
That's when Ben heard two figures crash to the floor behind him.
Ben turned to see Captain Nemesis and Animo.
Although he was surprised by what Animo looked like.
He now had the body of a Gorilla, with his head in a jar.
Ben, "jeez Animo, I thought you looked bad before."
Animo, "my experiments finally changed me into something amazing!"
Ben, "that's a matter of perspective."
On the other side emerged Kyber, wielding twin daggers.
Kyber, "long time, no see?"
Ben, "I would've proffered it that way."
They heard a sound from above, and looked up to see Psychobos and Malware on a large floating floor panel.
Floating beside them was Dark Star.
And on the other side was Servantis, who had undergone a new transformation.
His brain was larger, and was sparking with electricity that clung to the ceiling.
Servantis, "and so, the oncoming storm returns."
Psychobos, "glad to see you've made it, dear Benjamin."
Ben, "I had little choice. You assholes have to be put in your place. You and your three bosses."
Malware, "if you want to get to them, you'll have to get past us!"
Ben, "gladly!"
Zombozo, "alright boys, who wants first crack at em?"
Right on cue, ThumbSkull ran right at Ben.
Ben quickly activated the BioMatrix, and transformed into, "Humongousaur!"
The dinosaur alien was easily able to punch Thumb Skull through the wall, knocking him out!
Nemesis was the next to run at our hero. Humongousaur quickly turned and locked hands with his former hero.
The two grappled for a moment before Humongousaur was able to push him away, and began wailing on him with punch after punch!
But this fight was only just beginning!
….
Meanwhile, with the others, they were watching the fight from a distance.
Kevin, "let's hope he can get through this."
"You should be worrying more about yourselves."
The group turned around to see seven Echo Echo's with red eyes around them.
Gwendolyn, "Albedo…."
Rook, "or at least, seven copies of the original."
Albedo-1, "very perceptive."
Gwendolyn activated her mana around her arms.
Albedo-2, "but it won't do you any good."
Kivi grew into its larger form.
Albedo-3, "while our allies deal with Tennyson..."
Rook handed Zane a Proto-Staff as he put his own Proto-Tool into its gun mode.
Albedo-4, "... we shall deal with you!"
Kevin quickly absorbed the metal from Ben's car, "come and get us!"
Albedo-5, "arrogance will be your undoing."
Lumi quickly turned into, "Krakken!"
Albedo-6, "good..."
Kenny quickly turned into, "DiamondBolt!"
Albedo-7, "let us begin!"
Each Echo Echo transformed into a different alien.
1 turned into Humongousaur.
2 turned into SwampFire.
3 turned into HeatBlast.
4 turned into K-9.
5 turned into Bloxx.
6 turned into Rath.
And 7 turned into UpChuck
All seven clones ran at our heroes as they were in for the fight of their lives!
….
On the space station, Looma was cradling Maxwell and Bridget as she worried about her family.
Nearby were Cooper and Hope, who were playing with little Devin.
Rayona was talking to Shar and Eunice.
Other members of the group were there.
Max was sitting with Azmuth.
Helen and Attea were talking with Manny and Swift.
Kai and Boris were talking with Alan and Ester.
Mazuma was working at the computer.
All of these people were Ben's family. Whether in blood and bond.
And they would all be waiting for Ben's return.
Especially Looma.
As she gazed at the sleeping faces of Maxwell and Bridget, she whispered, "please be safe Ben. We need you."
….
Reviews:
Nathanael Card: glad you liked the chapter and the ideas I did.
Death Fury: her human form isn't 100% safe from the cold. Rook Zane seems like a great option. Depending on what the mass majority wants is what D-Ez will be.
….
And here we go! Ben has begun his duel with his worst enemies!
Meanwhile, our other small group must deal with Albedo!
Who will live?
Who will die?
Was Zane confessing his love for Lumi cute?
Did I ever make a new name for Snare-Oh?
And why am I asking all of you this?
Tune in next time!
