Chapter 6.5? Already?! Yes. Now let's-a go!
Chapter 6.5
Welcome to the base
As the green light fades, Ben finds himself in a large, light-blue, metallic room, with green panels lining the walls. Before him, is a bulky device, with a thin, long, muzzle. In one of the device's sides has a control panel built into it, with two small creatures manning it. They both have grey skin, both barely being tall enough to reach up a toddler's knee. They have fairly large heads for their size, and their green eyes are mildly bulbous. Actually, they kinda look like Grey Matter.
One of them is wearing a pair of blue-grey overalls, with a white belt with a red buckle. This one is the taller and skinnier of the two. The other one is is wearing some odd, white, armor-like suit, with a similar belt and a red circle on its chest.
"Hey Blukic. Driba." Ben says as he waves at the two. "You guys are getting pretty good with that teleporter."
"We sure are!" The short one, or Driba, says.
"No we aren't." The tall one, Blukic, responds blankly.
Driba turns to him angrily. "Yes we are!"
"No we aren't." Blukic restates, still rather emotionless.
"Can you guys agree on anything?" Ben asks, mildly annoyed.
"No, we can't!" Driba shouts angrily.
"Yes we... uh, I mean... No we can't!" Blukic says, making Ben roll his eyes.
"I'm out of here." Ben says as he exits the room through an elevator door, that leads to a long hallway, full of doors lining the walls. The walls are also full of pipes and cables, connected to odd power panels. Ben reaches the end of the hallway, as he presses a button next to another elevator door. This time, it opens to an actual elevator, illuminated with green light, with the bottom having the Omnitrix's symbol ingraved in it. Ben steps inside, as he presses another button. The elevator jerks, and suddenly zooms upwards.
Lights flash through the door's seams. Above the door, is a small screen showing what level the elevetor passes. The elevator slows down, as the door opens. Ben exits into a large room, it too being illuminated in green lights. The elevator is placed in the center of the room. Ben stands on a large platform, with massive monitor-systems lining the edges. The platform is connects to the ground and other platforms via staircases and ramps. Many holographic screens fill the room. Many aliens and humans man the monitors, one of them catching Ben's attention.
"Magister Patelliday!" Ben shouts as he runs up to one of the aliens. He resembles a humanoid angler fish... he looks like Ripjaws, actually, but with wrinkly skin and a lanky stature. He wears a pair of glasses, and he wears a similar suit to what the small alien from earlier wore. He's holding onto a large, green, tablet-like device. Patelliday turns to Ben, and smiles.
"How are ya' sonny?" The fish-alien asks as Ben goes in for a high five, which is politely rejected.
"I'm good... mostly." Ben says as he points at his wounds.
"What happened?" The alien asks as he checks on the damages.
Ben waves him away. "Check the news... Where's grandpa." Ben asks, as he looks around.
"Oh, he's out running a few errands." Patelliday says as he taps a few buttons on his tablet.
"What are you doing?" Ben asks as he points at the tablet.
"Eh, we just found some odd energy surge near earth's atmosphere. Nothing to worry about... probably." Patelliday says ominously.
Ben notices, but feels there is something more important to discuss. "Yeah, well. I've got something to report." Ben says, making Patelliday turn to him. "A Vilgax drone attacked U.A. during a lecture... along with a bunch of villains..." The tablet falls to the ground, smashing to pieces. Bne looks at his face. It's stuck in a mix of astonishment, confusion, worry and terror. "Eh... you good?" Ben snaps his fingers, making Patelliday snap out of his stunned state.
"Eh... well... I think we now know what that energy surge is." Ben immediately knows what he means.
"Vilgax's ship." Ben says, as Patelliday nods. "I thought I destroyed it. We need to stop him!"
Patelliday shakes his head. "We'll have to deal with him later. You need to go get some rest!" Ben tries to object, but doesn't bother. He sighs.
"Fine..." Ben says as he walks towards a ramp leading to the room's floor. "Cya Patelliday." Ben says as he waves his arm around wearily.
Patelliday shakes his head. "That boy is gonna' get himself killed."
Ben wanders through a long, grey, hallway, covered in doors, all having scanners and keypads, instead of doorhandles or locks, with screens displaying numbers above them. Ben stops at a door with the number 10 above it. He puts the omnitrix to the scanner, and it beeps, as the door slides open. Ben enters the room tiredly. The door closes behind him, as the lights in the room flicker to life.
He seems to have entered a sort of living room/kitchen combo, with metallic, cyan walls. To his left is a green couch pointed at a television, built into the wall. To his left is the kitchen part, which includes a kitchen counter, multiple cabinets and a refrigerator, all being made out of the same material as the walls. Near the kitchen stuff, is a square table, with one chair being placed before it, both of them being made out of the rest of the room's material.
Ben walks up to the fridge, opening it and pulling out a stained, cardboard, takeout box, with a logo printed onto it, resembling a blue house, with yellow text saying 'Burger Shack' over it. Ben opens it hastily, and pulls out a handful of fries, covered in chili sauce, cheese and a disturbing amount of onions. Ben shows it into his maw. He then grabs a sode cup, with a goofy, cartoon face on it, and takes a huge sip from the straw. He puts both items back into the fridge and closes it.
Ben walks towards another door in the room, this one having neither a doorhandel or a panel. Instead, it just opens automatically as Ben nears it. Behind the door, is a bedroom, with a few drawer built into the wall, a bed sticking out of the wall, and another door nearby, which presumably leads to the bathroom. Ben immediately goes for the bed, and collapses into it, not caring to change out of his casual clothes. Almost immediately, he's drifts off to sleep.
Epilogue
"And who may you be?" The voice from the monitor asks, as Shigaraki plants his foot on the bot, pinning it to the ground.
"I am Vilgax." The drone responds in a staticy voice.
"You don't really look like a squid!" Shigaraki says snarkily, thinking back to the creature Rojo described.
"The thing planted under your puny, human foot is a mere drone." The voice answers back. The drone jerks, as Shigaraki is thrown off of it, and it rises into the air.
"I'll kill you!" Shigaraki hisses, as he jumps to his feet.
"I'm not here to cause conflict, fool..." Vilgax responds angrily. "I'm here to make an agreement."
Shigaraki gets ready to decline the offer and destroy the drone, but the monitor man has different plans. "Go on..."
"I wish to kill the Tennyson boy... and you want this All Might dead, and I've learned many times that it's easier to accomplish your goals with alliances. You assist me in my goal to annialate the boy, and I assist you in your goal to exterminate this... Symbol of Peace..." The monitor man seems invested, but Shigaraki isn't having any of it.
"You think you can just trespass on my turf without consequences, and then try to reqruit us to kill some brat?!" Shigaraki narrows his eyes. "I'm not someone's tool." Shigaraki flexes his fingers.
"Hmm... maybe I've made a miscalculation. I thought this group was supposed to be full of criminals and villains... not man-children." Vilgax's comment makes Shigaraki snap, as he flies forwards, grapping the drone with both of his hands, as it begins to rust and crack. He slams it into the ground, as it explodes into dust and rusty pieces of metal.
"Nice job Shigi. You just made the most dangerous man in the galaxy your enemy!" Rojo hisses to Shigaraki, who is dusting off his shirt.
"If he's so dangerous, why was his little microphone so easy to destroy?"
"Because it was a mere scout drone." Everyone in the room looks around for the new source of Vilgax's voice. "I doubt you could deal with any of my combat drones as easily." Suddenly, even more entities materialize in the room, all of them resembling two-legged, human-sized versions of the robot that crashed into the USJ. "Let's see if these will be as weak..."
"You had to f*ckin say something, didn't you?" Rojo asks blankly, as Shigaraki begins to sweat.
Boom, Chapter 6.5! A bit of a short one. This was pretty much just a jumbo-sized epilogue. I hope this will keep everyone entertained for a while! And I've also introduced Blukic, Driba and Patelliday! Yes! Anyway, I don't have anythign else to say, so bye!
