Hey readers, the moment you've been waiting for is finally here. The final chapter of the Galactic Travels mini-saga. I also want to apologize about the title mix-up from the last 2 chapters. Now that that's all cleared up, ON WITH THE SHOW.
Chapter 4: Galactic Travels, Part 3
(Davenport Living Room)
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!" shouted Adam as he knees down in front of the T.V.
"Adam, what's wrong?" asked Donald as the rest of the family walks in. Adam points at the T.V and it shows the news about the battle between the Galactic Defenders and D'Void's Mutant Animal Army. Everyone sweat dropped about this response.
"What's wrong with Chase being a superhero? (smirks) Let me guess, you wish you were the superhero instead of Chase, because he's (sarcastic tone) small and fragile." said Leo as he waves his hands for emphasis.
"Not that. Because of Chase's new powers, I'm no longer the most powerful bionic kid in the house." replied Adam.
"Adam, you're acting like Donald when we were kids."commented Douglas with his arms crossed.
"HEY!" shouted Donald out of embarrassment. Douglas ignored the shout and went to offer a hand to Adam. Adam accepts the hand, and Douglas helped him up.
"Adam, have you ever thought of the reason why Chase was chosen to obtain the power?" asked Leo. Adam raised an eyebrow and shook his head. Everyone else face-palmed, knowing how ignorant and dumb Adam really is.
"It's because Chase is the one who needs the power the most." explained/insulted Bree. Before Adam could reply, everyone heard a jet sound from the roof.
"Donald, who did you call and why did you have a landing space on the roof?" asked Tasha with her arms crossed. Donald holds his arms up in defense.
"Okay, first off, I never called anyone or get called by anyone. Second, (puts hands in pockets with a egotistic grin) I wanted people to be able to see my face whenever they fly over here, so I made a landing space with my picture as the floor." explained Donald.
(Above the Davenport Residence)
"Why does your dad have a picture of him as the floor?" asked Kaz as he, Ben, Chase, Jack and Kim exit the PLUMBER Ship.
"He's an egomaniac. You get used to it."answered Chase with a shrug.
"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOO!" shouted a computer voice. Everyone turned to the source and noticed a white screen with a digital body next to the door. Chase groaned, recognizing the voice.
"Guys, that's Eddie, an Artificial Intelligence that watches the whole house from the inside out." introduced Chase. Everyone else looked at Eddie with a shocked look.
"Even the bathroom?" asked Kaz.
"Yep, from all angles, even in the shower and toilet." answered Eddie with a grin.
"EEEEEEWWWWW!" said the other Galactic Defenders with a grossed out look on their faces.
"Let's just go downstairs." suggested Chase. Everyone nodded and remained grossed out until they went downstairs.
(Davenport Living Room)
Everyone is sitting on the couch, except for Donald, who went to check Eddie.
"Eddie, can you tell me who landed?"asked Donald with a worried look on his face. Eddie appeared on the blank screen with a sad look.
"Sorry, the screen up there has been blocked. I don't know how." lied Eddie. The Davenport family bought it and groaned.
"I hope Chase is okay. He's my favorite kid." admitted Douglas with his hands behind his head. The others ignored his 'favorite kid' comment and nodded.
"Aw, how sweet." commented an unknown voice. Everyone turned to the source and rubbed their eyes to make sure they're not seeing things. Standing in front of them is Chase Davenport with the same clothes he wore on the news.
"CHASE!" shouted the Davenport family in happiness as they approach him and make a group hug. Everyone pulled back from the group hug, except for Adam, who is holding Chase in a headlock.
"Adam, you can let go now, please." said Chase.
"No way. And you can't make me." replied Adam with a smirk. His smirk vanished when a blue flash occurred.
(Chase's transformation scene)
Chase's skin turned into lavender gills. He grew sky-blue claws from his fingers and toes. Chase grew a lavender tail. A sky-blue spike grew out of each of Chase's elbows. Chase's hands and feet became webbed. He also gained blue scales on his arms, legs, and back. His forearms grew blade-like gills. He grew small sky-blue spikes on the outer side of his legs. A black jellyfish attached itself on Chase's head and webbed it's sky-blue tentacles. Two blue eyes are visible on the jellyfish, similar to a visor.
"Preyas" shouted the newly transformed Chase.
(Back in the Living Room)
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Adam as Preyas somehow disappears.
"Where did he go?" asked Leo.
"Eddy, activate Thermal Mode." ordered Donald as Eddie's screen changed to show everyone's heat signature, including an additional one behind Adam. Preyas decided to drop the invisibility and give Adam the worst wedgie he ever felt.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH! ATOMIC WEDGIE!" shouted Adam as Preyas extends his underwear and puts the pulled end over his head. Preyas took a step back and changed back with his arm around his stomach and a hand over his mouth.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" laughed Chase as he rolls on the floor. Adam turned to his voice, his eyes covered by his underwear.
"What was that for?" asked Adam angrily. Chase stopped laughing and stood up.
"For picking on me all these years, and being the worst brother ever." answered Chase angrily. Douglas walked in between the two and took out his arms to keep them apart.
"That's enough, guys. Let's just be happy that Chase is here." said Douglas before Adam and Chase calm down.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have some underwear to change." said Adam as he heads to the bathroom.
"While my stupid brother gets his underwear changed, I like to introduce you to a few new friends of mine." said Chase.
"Chase, we know you don't have any friends. I don't count since I'm your stepbrother." said Leo.
"Looks like I'm not the only one with family issues." commented an unknown voice. The Davenport family turned to the source and gasped when they saw Kaz enter from the staircase.
"Aren't you that kid in the news that turned into some sort of golem?" asked Douglas.
"First off, I have a name, and it's Kaz. Second, what you saw me turn into is an Elemental Hero, known as Clayman. And yeah,(smirk)that was me on the news." answered Kaz. Adam enters the room from the bathroom and noticed Kaz.
"Where are the others?" asked Chase as he turns to Kaz. Kaz points down and hissed.
"THEY'RE IN THE LAB!" shouted Donald angrily as the Davenport family, along with Kaz head down to the lab.
(Davenport Lab)
"Where's Kaz?" asked Ben as he, Jack and Kim turn to see Kaz isn't with them.
"I'll go look for him." assured Kim as she leaves the lab. She shortly returned with Kaz and the Davenport family.
"WHAT ARE FOUR COMPLETE STRANGERS DOING IN MY LAB?!" shouted Donald.
"They're the friends I was going to introduce you to. They already know about our bionics because an alien hacked every file on the planet and told them." explained Chase.
"I thought something was wrong with our files." said Douglas quietly. Unfortunately, Donald heard it.
"YOU KNEW OUR FILES HAVE BEEN HACKED THE WHOLE TIME, AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!" asked Donald angrily. Douglas holds his hands up defensively.
"Sorry, I thought it was nothing serious." apologized Douglas. Donald takes a deep breath, and calms down.
"Let me introduce everyone to each other. Galactic Defenders, they are Adam, Bree, Donald and Douglas Davenport. The other two people are Tasha and Leo Dooley." introduced Chase as he points at the specific people .
"Guys, they are Ben Tennyson, obviously, you already met Kaz, Jack Brewer and Kim Crawford." introduced Chase as he points at the specific people.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be out there, saving the world?" asked Leo.
"Don't worry. There hasn't been any world threats, much less any crimes for hours." informed Ben.
"And we're taking tours around our places to know each other better." added Kaz with a smile.
"I'll give you the tour, if you don't mind."insisted Bree.
"No thanks. Eddie showed us the house plans, and we already explored the whole place." said Ben. The Davenport family, except Chase turns to Eddie's screen, and sees Eddie with a smirk.
"Surprise." said Eddie in a singing voice before he deactivates.
"Do you mind if I take a picture of us?" asked Leo. The Galactic Defenders nodded and Leo set the timer on his phone. Everyone stood in place and the phone flashed, meaning that the picture is taken.
"We're off to our final stop." said Ben. Chase turns to the rest of the Davenport family with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll be back." said Chase as the Galactic Defenders walk upstairs and wave goodbye.
(Above the Davenport Residence)
The Galactic Defenders are currently approaching the PLUMBER Ship, with Grandpa Max on the bay door.
"WAIT!" shouted a familiar voice behind them. Everyone turned to see Leo running up to them with a sketchbook on his left hand.
"Leo, what do you want?" asked Ben. Leo stops running in front of him and offered him the sketchbook.
"This is a sketchbook I used since I watched the news about the Alien Heroes 6 years ago. In this sketchbook are multiple uses for your powers. I went to my room to get it. I thought you might need it, in case of a mistransformation."informed Leo. Ben took the sketchbook and opened it, the first page revealing a drawing of Diamondhead inside a diamond shell and an arrow in the ground. Ben shows Leo the page he found first.
"That's the first drawing I made. Since Diamondhead can bring diamond out of the ground, I thought that he can hide underground by using diamond to sneak attack enemies." said Leo.
"Thanks. I'll make sure to put this to good use." thanked Ben as he enters the PLUMBER Ship. It takes off into the air, and Leo waved his hand goodbye.
(PLUMBER Ship)
"It's time to go home, guys." said Ben. The others groaned in sadness.
"Why? Jack and I haven't gave you a tour of the Wasabi Dojo yet." asked Kim as Jack puts an arm around her shoulders while Ben smiles.
"Don't worry, you will." said Ben while Jack and Kin gives him confused looks.
(Wasabi Dojo)
Rudy closed the dojo since Jack and Kim's disappearance. The only occupants in the dojo are Rudy, Jerry, and Milton. Milton is currently doing his homework while Rudy and Jerry practice martial arts with a punching bag. Someone knocked the door.
"Sorry, we're closed." said Milton sadly.
"Can't you reopen for a friend?" asked the person who knocked the door. Everyone stopped what they were doing and saw Jack and Kim outside waving their hands.
"JACK!KIM!" shouted the trio as they approach the door with Rudy opening it, letting the couple in.
"Rudy, can you hold the door so our new friends can come in?" asked Jack. Rudy turned and noticed the three other teenagers from the news. He nodded, and let them in.
"Galactic Defenders, they're Milton Krupnick, Jerry Martinez, and Rudy Gillespie." introduced Jack as he points at the specific people.
"Guys, they are Ben Tennyson, obviously, Kaz and Chase Davenport." introduced Kim as she points at the specific people.
"Nice to meet you." greeted everyone except the couple.
"Rudy, do you mind giving them a tour around the dojo?" asked Jack.
"No problem. It'll take a few minutes to finish the tour, considering the size of the dojo." assured Rudy. Rudy showed them all the rooms in the dojo, which are the bathroom, his office, and the training mat.
"You're right. The tour did take a few minutes." commented Kaz.
"Yeah, sorry nothing exciting happened yet." apologized Rudy before a snake-tail wrapped around his waist and took him through the vent on the ceiling.
"RUDY!" shouted everyone as they run upstairs to the roof.
(On the Wasabi Dojo Roof)
Rudy is currently tied to a generator by a long green tail. Everyone burst out of the door and gasped when they saw Rudy.
"Alright, whoever did this, SHOW YOURSELF!" shouted Jack.
"With pleasssure." hissed an unknown voice. Everyone turned to the source and saw Ssserpent's head sticking out from behind the generator that Rudy is tied to.
"Ssserpent, what are you doing here?" asked Ben. Everyone turned to him, figuring that Ssserpent is one of Ben 10's enemies.
"Remember when I ssshedded my ssskin back in Bellwood?" asked Ssserpent.
"Yeah." answered Ben with a glare.
"When I ssshedded, I obtained a few new abilitiesss, like thisss." informed Ssserpent as he uses his snake head-like hands to bite Rudy's shoulder. When it pulled back, Ssserpent released Rudy as Rudy starts changing. His skin turned into dark green scales, he grew fangs and claws, and his eyes became yellow slits. Jack and Kim clenched their fists in anger.
"What did you do to our sensei?" asked Jack in a dark tone while glaring at Ssserpent.
"I have injected a venom that mutated him. Now he is half reptile, and under my control." explained Ssserpent before laughing evilly.
"Now my reptilian pet, ATTACK!" commanded Ssserpent as Rudy runs to them and swiped his claws at Jerry. Jerry sidestepped, letting Rudy get his claws stuck in the floor. Jack noticed Ssserpent getting away and turned to Ben.
"You two can go and get Ssserpent to tell you the antidote. We'll restrict your sensei." said Ben. Jack and Kim nodded, heading to Ssserpent's direction. Rudy got his claws unstuck and turned to Ben, Kaz and Chase.
"This guy needs to chill out." commented Kaz as he prepares to activate the Dueltrix. Before he could transform, Chase stopped him.
"Wait, don't forget Rudy's innocent. It's the venom that mutated him that made him this way. If we try to freeze him, there's a chance we might kill him, since he's half reptile." explained Chase.
"Then how are we going to restrict him?" asked Kaz.
"I'll web him up." answered Ben as he slams the Ultimatrix.
(Ben's transformation scene)
Ben's jacket vanished, revealing that his black T-shirt is getting longer. It covered Ben's body, making it look like a black leotard. Blue elbow-length gloves and knee-length boots appeared in front of Ben. Ben put them on, and suddenly three small blades appeared on each of them. A blue mask with black eye outlines appeared above Ben, and he pulled it down to his head. The blue neck part of the mask spreaded, making an upside down Christmas Tree silhouette on his chest, and an arrow on his back.
"Fasttrack" shouted the costumed Ben.
(Back on the rooftop)
Everyone stared at Fasttrack confusedly while he groaned in annoyance.
"Seriously, Ultimatrix? After all this time of working perfectly, you decided to mess up now?" asked Fasttrack.
"Ben, we need Spidermonkey. Fasttrack can't restrict him long enough." informed Chase.
"It's not my fault the Ultimatrix decided to mess up." commented Fasttrack. Kaz snapped his fingers to get their attention. Kaz points to Rudy, who is standing still like a statue.
"He's waiting for us to make our move." informed Kaz.
"Time to fight reptile with reptile." commented Chase as he slams the Bakutrix.
(Chase's transformation scene)
Chase's skin turned into purple scales. He grew a snout and fangs. A horn grew above the snout. He grew reptilian claws from his fingers and toes. He gained black cuff links with pink diamonds. He grew a long tail that has a straight line of pink diamonds. He gained three pink diamonds on each of his thighs. His clothing has been replaced by black shoulder armor, bandages on his feet, and black-and-white disks attached to his shoulders. His eyes turned into blue slits.
"Anchorsaur" shouted the newly transformed Chase.
(Back on the rooftop)
Rudy reared his claws back and ran to the trio. Anchorsaur's shoulder disks detached and reattached to Anchorsaur's hands as claws came out, and he ran to Rudy. Fasttrack used his super speed to run to Rudy. Before they struck, a black flash occurred.
Done, done, done. The mini-saga known as Galactic Travels is complete. I ended with the cliffhanger on purpose because...
A) It adds suspense.
B) I wanted this mini-saga to have no supervillain/superhero battles.
and C) This is already the longest chapter so far.
Next time on The Galactic Defenders, our new heroes are going to have to learn how to handle papparazzis, and their battle against Ssserpent and Reptilian Rudy. And before you ask, I made up Ssserpent's ability to inject mutation venom to his victims. You'll find out what other new powers he has next time. Until then, Defenders out.
