NOTE: Read these Author's Notes, so that you don't end up bringing up things I've already addressed multiple times in the reviews. Other than that, thank you to the people who do read my notes.
If you were curious about the ages between the cousins, then here:
Ken: 18
Yukiko: 17
Ben & Gwen: 10
Ken was 18 in Alien Force, but obviously I changed that for the sake of this story. He's only a year older than Yukiko. He and Yukiko will meet eventually. Ken will not just be a one-off character in my story.
Happy April Fools!
Review and Enjoy!
Chapter 26: Galactic Personas
Within the futuristic city civilians ran away in fear of the large robot that was terrorizing them.
"TREMBLE INSECTS! BOW AT THE FEET OF LORD DOOMICUS!" The madman declared from inside of his robot.
"OH YEAH!?"
Everyone turned their heads in the direction of the challenge. Standing on top of a destroyed car was a 10-year-old boy dressed in a blue and white superhero costume. His white cap fluttered in the wind and his face covered by a blue visor.
"Ultra Ben!?" Doomicus cried in fear. He was too slow to stop the hero from destroying the legs of his robot. "MY DESTRUCTOID! NOOOOOO!" He cried as he lay defeated.
Ultra Ben reached inside of the machine and pulled out the evil scientist. He flew on top of the destroyed legs. "And anyone who makes trouble in Tennyson Town is gonna get the same Two-Fisted Justice!"
"ULTRA BEN! ULTRA BEN! ULTRA BEN!" The people cheered on for their hero.
Ultra Ben sucked up the praise like a sponge to water. "ULTRA BEN! ULTRA BEN! ULTRA BEN! BEN! BEN! BEN-"
"BEN!"
The boy finally looked up from his comic to see his cousins glaring at him from below the foot statue. Gwen and Yukiko both had their hands on their hips. "That's a work of art, ya know? Not your personal butt rest," Gwen reminded him. "You're going to get us kicked out of the museum!"
Ben jumped down from the statue. "I don't have that kind of luck."
"The hotel," Yukiko slashed through his arrogance.
"You guys are never going to let that go, are you?" Ben glared at her.
"Nope," Both replied.
"Tsk," Ben reached into his pockets and pulled out a piece of chocolate. Seeing that he has candy piqued Gwen's interest.
"Hey, can I have some?" She asked.
"Sorry, chocolate is for superheroes only," Ben walked past her as he kept eating.
Gwen rolled her eyes. "More like super jerks only." She felt Yukiko's hand pat the top of her head.
"Don't worry, Gwen. That stuff would just spoil your dinner anyways," Yukiko tried to cheer her up. The younger girl shivered at the mention of dinner before scurrying back into the museum.
The heiress then turned to Ben's retreating form. "Don't get lost, Ben!"
"When have I ever gotten lost?" He replied.
"I really don't think you want me to answer that question," Yukiko sighed. Before either could do anything else a spaceship flew over their heads and into the city. "Was that a spaceship!?" Yukiko asked.
Ben smiled and walked towards the exit. "Yup! Maybe this won't be such a boring day after all."
Yukiko sighed and followed after Ben. "And here I thought we'd have a relaxing weekend for once."
Ben and Yukiko pushed through the crowd to see the ship; Yukiko held the boy back from getting closer to it.
The doors to the ship opened to reveal a large and bulky alien with brown armor standing in the doorway. He had multiple spikes decorating the shoulder pads of his armor. He jumped off the craft and gazed at everyone. "Take me to your Bicenthium Alloy." His demand was met with blank stares since nobody knew what that was. Frustrated by the lack of response the alien punched ground, creating an earthquake that knocked people over. His attack created a mass panic. The bulky alien grabbed a nearby car and tossed in the direction of Ben and Yukiko.
"Ben, come on!" Yukiko took him by his hand. The two turned the corner before the car could hit them. Yukiko whipped out her fan from her red sleeve, she didn't bother turning around after hearing the activation of the Omnitrix.
"Somebody's gotta teach ugly there some manners!" He dialed up Four Arms.
"Snrk! T-Teaching someone else manners is impossible for you, Ben! HAHAHAHA!" Yukiko laughed.
The boy grimaced at her mocking laughter. "Ugh, who asked you anyway?" He slammed down the dial, enveloping himself in green light.
"Ben! Yukiko!" Max called for his missing two grandchildren.
"Where do you think they went?" Gwen asked.
BOOM!
The two turned to their left to see smoke rising from the city. Both grimaced, knowing exactly what could've caused that. "I'll give you one guess," Max responded.
"HYAH!" Four Arms jumped onto the alien's back. "Okay, tough guy!"
"A Tetramand? Hey, this planet really is a dumb," The Detrovite groaned. He knocked Four Arms off of his back, grabbed the Tetramand by the face, and slammed him into a building.
Four Arms got back to his feet and smashed his fist into the Detrovite's face, knocking him back.
Suddenly, a familiar figure soared into the skies, blasting at Four Arms with his guns. Four Arms recognized him immediately. "You!?" The Tetramand gasped as he tried to avoid the blasts.
SixSix extended his left arm, releasing multiple small missiles at Four Arms. However, before they could reach, each one was destroyed by a fire blast. SixSix turned his head to see Yukiko sprinting over to Four Arms.
The heiress looked up at SixSix as he prepared to continue raining down fire. "It's that bounty hunter from the desert!" She exclaimed. Yukiko didn't think they would run into them again, but it seems that luck wasn't in their favor.
At the same time Max and Gwen had arrived on the scene, hiding behind a corner. "Grandpa, the alien with the jetpack."
"He's one of those bounty hunters who came after Ben in the desert. Must've busted out of Galactic Jail," Max said.
SixSix unleashed more rockets at the duo, which Four Arms gladly tossed right back at him. The bounty hunter fell onto a truck. Four Arms hopped onto the truck, lifting SixSix into the air. Before he could land the final punch, SixSix dropped a tiny grenade.
"Huh?" Four Arms had no time to react before he was locked down by electric shocks.
"Ben! Agidyne!" Yukiko fired her attack.
SixSix turned around and jumped over her attack. The ball of flame smashed into the downed Four Arms, sending him flying into the wall. The bounty hunter took advantage of Yukiko's shock and dropped a similar grenade at her feet.
"KYAAA!" Yukiko cried out as the electrical currents coursed through her. The heiress dropped to the ground, struggling to get back onto her feet. She looked over to see SixSix pointing his rockets point blank. However, before he could fire, a blue case of energy wrapped around his body.
SixSix struggled to move as he was forcefully lifted into the air and tossed away towards his partner. The Tennysons were confused by what happened, looking over to see who had interfered.
Four Arms eyes widened. "No way!"
"Okay, this is weird," Gwen said as Max was helping Yukiko back to her feet.
In front of them were three similarly dressed individuals. The one on the left was some sort of floating octopus brain in a jar, with yellow tentacles. The one to the right was a Tetramand just like Four Arms, except female. She wore golden armor, gold wrist bands, and a white skirt. And finally, in the middle was a humanoid man with dark blue skin. He wore a yellow top with white pants, gold boots, white gloves, and a flowing white cape.
"Rescue Formation: Alpha Nine!" The humanoid commanded. He and his team charged towards the alien criminals.
"It's the capes! I HATE CAPES!" The Detrovite yelled. SixSix pointed his blaster at the humanoid.
The leader dodged the blasts and unleashed his heat vision onto the bounty hunter, destroying his gun.
The female Tetramand sprinted at SixSix, she pulled back her hands and unleashed a devastating Thunderclap. The bounty hunter flew into the truck, defeated. Four Arms looked up at her in shock, to which the female look alike winked flirtatiously.
Four Arms flinched in disgust.
Yukiko was also disgusted at the implications of the gesture.
The brainy one dodged the punches from the Detrovite and used his telekinesis to float the criminal into the air. Once he was trapped, the leader nailed a devastating punch into his face, effectively taking out both criminals.
The new arrivals and Tennysons gathered around the criminals. "By the provisions set forth in the Galactic Code of Conduct. I order you to surrender. Will you yield?" The leader asked.
"Yield!?" Four Arms cried out. "What is this, a traffic light!? Kick their butts before they try to pull something!"
CLICK!
FLASH!
It was too late, and the criminals vanished into their ship before the heroes could stop them. SixSix stood in the entrance way of the ship and fired two blasts at the building behind them, destroying the pillars. Both Four Arms and the female Tetramand caught the debris before they could cause any damage.
The brainiac flew forward, using his powers to lift the structure. "You may release your grip now." Then the leader used his heat vision to meld it all back into place.
The female Tetramand wrapped her arms around Four Arms' shoulder. "So…what's a big strong alien like you doing on a planet like this? We make a good team, don't we?" The woman felt a tap on her lower arms and looked down. Next to her was Yukiko, who had a very dark and dangerous smile plastered on her lips.
"Please release him or I'll have to get violent," The heiress demanded.
"Chill, human. I'm just having a talk with muscles over here-"
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
"Oh, yes! Saved by the beep!" In a flash of red light, Ben turned back to normal. The Tetramand was disappointed.
"Hey, where the rest of you go!?"
Ben smiled nervously. "Uh, sorry. I'm just a kid. I just get some extra hands once and a while." Yukiko wrapped a protective arm around him as well.
"Yes, a 10-year-old child! So, back off!" The heiress hissed. The Tetramand raised her arms in defense, backing away from the terrifying teenager.
The two other members of the superhero team descended next to the Tetramand with Max and Gwen walking over to the rest of their family.
"So, it's true. The Omnitrix is in the possession of a child," The brainiac said. "We heard you were of some limited mental capacity," He insulted them.
Ben raised an eyebrow, confused.
"He's calling us stupid," Yukiko explained, glaring at the brain.
"Oh…" Ben responded.
"I mean no offense by my statement," He said.
"Don't worry, that's an accurate description of Ben," Gwen smirked. Her remark drew Ben's irie.
"Greetings, I am Ultimos: Specimen Prime," The leader introduced himself. "This is Synaptac and Tiny," Ultimos introduced them as well.
"We are The Galactic Enforcers!" All three stuck heroic poses.
"Pfft! Snrk!" Yukiko tried to control herself. The heiress couldn't help that their poses looked so goofy.
Max and Gwen looked uninterested.
"WOAH!"
The three looked down at Ben, who was jumpy with excitement. "The uniforms! The moves! You guys rock! Finally some other superheroes I can hang with!"
"As per the Galactic Code of Conduct, we hereby officially request clearance to operate in your quadrant," Ultimos requested.
"Uh?" Ben looked back at his family. The three shrugged their shoulders, making him turn back to the Enforcers. "Sure."
"Then we have much to discuss," Ultimos tapped his belt buckle, activating the teleport system of their ship.
Four blue circles appeared beneath the Tennysons' feet. Ben was the only one pumped for what was about to happen. "ALRIGHT!" He shouted as they were teleported.
The Tennysons landed in the meeting room of the Enforcers' ship. "Oh…never did like those teleporter disc," Max rubbed her head.
"That kinda felt like going inside of the TV World," Yukiko said.
"Glad you have experience," Gwen sighed.
Next the Enforcers appeared in front of the Tennysons, standing proud and mighty. Ben gazed around the ship's interior. "How cool is this? I'm in superhero heaven!"
"There's a heaven just for superheroes?" Yukiko asked.
Gwen folded her arms, fighting off the urge to correct the heiress. "Not gonna fall for it…not this time…"
Max walked closer to the Enforcers. "So, what do we owe the pleasure to Mr. Gadget's company again?"
A holographic projection of SixSix appeared above the meeting room's table. "His name is SixSix. He escaped incarceration and allied himself with the cretin Vulkanus," Ultimos explained. A projection of Vulkanus appeared as well.
"A Detrovite, a being with limited mental capabilities. All brawn, no brains. You know the type," Synaptac looked at the Tennysons.
"Kanji-kun wouldn't appreciate that," Yukiko frowned.
"I don't think he'd appreciate you assuming that he's even like that…" Gwen sweat dropped.
Vulkanus' projection was replaced by a mysterious item. "They are here to steal: Element X!"
The four humans stared blankly at Ultimos. "Okay…we give up! What's Element X?" Ben asked.
"Is it like Chemical X?" Yukiko questioned.
"How do you even…never mind…" Gwen stopped herself.
Synaptac folded his tentacles as if they were arms. "It is an explosive compound."
"But why come to Earth?" Max asked.
"Most likely in search for the other ingredient: Bicenthium Alloy. It's very rare but rumored to be found on your planet. When combined the alloy and Element X for an explosion powerful enough to destroy an entire solar system," Ultimos explained.
Gwen stared at the projection, feeling a sense of deja vu. "Why does this stuff feel so familiar?"
"Uh, Gwen." The girl turned at the sound of Ben's voice. "I think the giant floating brain guy has it covered."
"Well, I guess we should get back down and start looking for the-" Max was cut off by Ultimos' hand.
"Excuse me, but the Galactic Code is very clear on our protocols," Ultimos commands Tiny to release survey bots to scour the city.
"Our Observos will scan every inch of the city and locate the perpetrators," The Tennysons looked out the window to see the bots descend towards Earth. "In the meantime, perhaps, a tour would be in order," Ultimos offered.
"We'd be honored," Max accepted.
"Oh, I'm sorry. But the Galactic Code is quite clear. Perversion 373-837: No civilian visitors in secure areas of the ship. You and your granddaughters will have to stay here on the bridge," Ultimos corrected himself. The three looked displeased at the news.
"Ben, Tiny will show you around," Ultimos said as Tiny picked the boy up. She placed him on her shoulder, much to Yukiko's despair.
"What!? No! Wait!" Yukiko tried to follow them but was held back by Ultimos. The heiress tried to fight her way out of Ultimos's strong grip. Her eyes were filled with despair as Ben and Tiny laughed at her predicament.
Gwen glared at Ultimos. "Hey! How come he gets to go!?"
Ultimos turned to face her as Yukiko continued to struggle in his arms. "Wearing the Omnitrix gives Ben full hero status."
"Then what about Yukiko's powers!?" Gwen yelled. The heiress stopped for a moment to listen.
"While I do not know how this young lady came to possess her abilities, they are not a form of official ability, especially for your species. The Omnitrix, while originally a rumor, is a device considered to be the greatest in the galaxy," Ultimos explained.
"Hahaha! Whoo hoo! Official Hero Status!" Ben cheered as he and Tiny left. Missing the glare that Synaptac was giving him.
Ultimos placed Yukiko back onto the floor, the heiress tried to follow the Enforcers, but Max held her back. "Grandpa! We can't just let them go with Ben! Who knows what she could do to him!?" Yukiko struggled in his grip.
"Calm down, sweetheart. Nothing is going to happen to Ben," Max reassured her.
"Yeah, Yukiko. Just let the super-jerks have their fun. How about telling us some more stories about Inaba?" Gwen asked, hoping to distract her.
It seemed to have worked, because Yukiko stopped fighting. "O-oh…uh, well. There was this one time when we all went to the beach…"
"This is the Galactic Code of Conduct!" A gigantic sized book dropped onto the table in front of Ben. "Every Galactic Enforcer must learn the rules so that they may live the rules!" Ultimos exclaimed, proudly.
His eyes flashed with fear at the sight of it. "Oh man…! Superhero homework!?"
"Well, the first 12,000 pages are admittedly a bit dry," Ultimos admitted.
"Ugh…I can hear Gwen and Yukiko's laughter if they found out about this," Ben grumbled mentally. His thoughts didn't go farther as the ship's alarm started to go off.
"The Observos have discovered something!" Ultimos exclaimed. He and the others rushed back into the control room to see the rest of the Tennyson family standing over the table.
The Observo found SixSix and Vulkanus searching around an old mining site. "That's a strip mine. Looks like they're after iron ore," Max explained. "Is that the missing ingredient?"
"We better get down there…but we could use some help," Ultimos looked down at Ben. "Ben, would you consider a temporary commission into the Galactic Enforcers?"
"Good idea!" Tiny agreed.
"Bad idea!" Yukiko and Synaptac yelled. The two looked and glared at one another.
Ultimos gazed at them. "It would seem I am the deciding vote…" He thought about it for 3 seconds. "Let's get you in uniform!" He agreed to Ben's delight.
"Presenting Ultra Ben: Galactic Enforcer!" Ben stood in the yellow and white uniform, proudly. The boy marched with swagger until tripping over the long white cape.
"PFFT!"
He glared at his cousins, who were trying not to laugh.
Yukiko felt that Ben looked adorable in the uniform. Even if it looked too big on him.
"What about us?" Max asked.
"I'm afraid the G.C.C. is quite clear about the participation of non-super powered beings and unregistered ones. You'll be safe here," Ultimos said. Synaptac shot a beam from his helmet, creating a forcefield.
"Hey!" Gwen banged on the shield.
"Let us help!" Yukiko smacked the shield. "Ben! Tell them to let us help!"
"Sorry, Yukiko, this is a Superhero job. We'll be back after kicking SixSix's can!" Ben declared, smirking. He reached into his pockets and pulled out some chocolate, after eating one he offered some to Ultimos. "Hey, you want some?"
"Ah, local cuisine. I certainly wouldn't want to offend your planet's customs," He said and ate the candy.
"You've already offended us!" Gwen cried. She went ignored as the Enforcers and Ben teleported down to Earth.
The forcefield disappeared right after they left, allowing the Tennysons to have free movement again. Yukiko was beyond furious as she fanned herself off. "That boy can be so infuriating!"
"So are those super jerks," Gwen turned to Max. "What are we gonna do, Grandpa?"
"We're gonna get down there and help them, that's what," Max began fiddling with the controls.
"What are you doing?" Yukiko asked.
"I'm programming the coordinates from the spaceship. We should be beamed right down into the pit," Max explained.
"Should?" Gwen asked.
Max pressed a button, teleporting the three of them down into the mining pit.
XLR8 watched as the Galactic Enforcers were easily defeated by SixSix and Vulkanus, while the sickly Ultimos hid behind a shed. The hero couldn't believe that such a cool looking team would be so incompetent when dealing with criminals, especially ones that fight dirty. "Maybe Yukiko was right. This was a bad idea."
When a large shadow loomed over him, XLR8 saw Vulkanus with his arms raised. The Kinceleran used his speed to dodge the attack, running around the hulking Detrovite. He dodged around the incoming shots from SixSix, somehow getting cut off at every corner. Turning around XLR8 raced up the wall and jumped towards SixSix, kicking the bounty hunter in the face. Landing on the ground, XLR8 looked to his right to see his family arriving on the battlefield.
And the large construction vehicle that was just thrown at them by Vulkanus, Yukiko already had Sumeo-Okami at the ready.
"AGIDYNE!" The vehicle was blown to pieces by her fire, creating a giant smoke screen. They thought the cost was clear until Vulkanus came charging through the smoke like a titan.
"Peekaboo!" He raised his large fists.
XLR8 got to them in time before Vulkanus could crush them. Not prepared for the weight of all three of them, XLR8 and his family rolled across the ground next to the defeated Enforcers. The Omnitrix flashed red, turning Ben back to normal.
"Chuthye wa!" SixSix pointed at a crate. Vulkanus picked it up and carried it over to their ship.
Gwen groaned, holding her head. "Why couldn't we have just stayed on the ship?"
The Tennysons turned around to see the SixSix shoot missiles at the top of the pit. Creating an avalanche of rocks to crush them. Ben looked back at the defeated Enforcers and got an idea, he walked right in front of the avalanche. "This looks like a job for Ultra Ben! Only I can save Tiny!"
His words infuriated Synaptac, giving the jealous Enforcer enough strength to get back up. "Step aside, Earthling." Using his telekinetic abilities, he stopped the avalanche from killing them all. Then he hurried back over to Tiny to check on her.
"Huh? You can annoy anyone into action," Gwen smirked.
Yukiko patted Ben's head. "Good job using your head for once."
"What do you mean? I use it all the time," Ben smiled.
"Yeah, just not effectively," Gwen added.
Their banter was stopped by the sounds of a ship's engine. The Tennysons turned around to see the criminals escaping. "We've lost SixSix and Vulkanus!" Max exclaimed.
"The Bicenthium Alloy and Element X can only be bound together with an enormous amount of heat," Synaptac said.
Max understood instantly. "Oh, like the forge of a steel mill?"
"Are there any such facilities in this area?"
"Hello!? Pittsburgh!? Steel Town, USA!" Gwen pointed out.
"OH! That name makes sense now," Yukiko gasped.
"Interesting theory…"
They saw Ultimos, who seemed to have recovered, approaching them. "But according to protocols in the Galactic Code of-"
"Forget it your stupid protocols!" Ben cut him off.
Yukiko stepped forward. "As Kanji-kun would say, 'You can shove your protocols right up your behind!'" The heiress copied.
Ben smirked, punching his fist into his palm. "Yeah, because this time we're doing it the Tennyson way!"
Vulkanus shoved his massive hands into the bucket of lava. SixSix walked up behind him, speaking his species' language. "Don't blow a gasket, partner! Only the purest of mixture combined with Element X can give us the explosive we want." Vulkanus took his lava-covered hand out of the magma. "Perfect-"
A rumbling was heard from outside, putting the criminals on guard. They turned to the ceiling to see the Galactic Enforcers descending.
"You capes never learn!" Vulkanus smirked.
"WRONG!"
Vulkanus and SixSix turned around to see Cannonbolt spinning right towards them. "Galactic Enforcers Formation: Surprise Party!"
SixSix attempted to blast him, but a ball of fire staggered him. Cannonbolt smashed right into him, sending the bounty hunter spiraling like a bowling pin.
"Galactic Enforcers! Engage!" Ultimos ordered. Tiny pounded her fists into Vulkanus' face, knocking into the air for Ultimos to tackle him.
Gwen and Max had entered the control room. "Making steel is like baking a cake! Mess up the recipe and Element X won't bond to it!"
"Is that why you didn't have Yukiko join us here?" Max asked.
"Uh…no comment…"
The heiress in question fired off multiple fireballs to intercept SixSix's cannon fire. "Maragion!" She released the army of fire upon the bounty hunter. He activated his jet pack to dodge the flames, but was blindsided by Cannonbolt, who was bouncing around the mill.
SixSix regained his composure and maneuvered out of Cannonbolt's trajectory. He unloaded a multitude of guns from his armor and aimed them directly at Yukiko.
"Uh oh!" Yukiko sprinted away from the blast fire as it rained down on her. The onslaught of blast fire started to destroy the catwalk beneath, making heiress unbalanced. She would've fallen into the buckets of lava if Cannonbolt hadn't swopped in to save her.
"Gotcha!" Cannonbolt yelled as he bounced off the wall.
"Thanks, Ben!" Yukiko responded inside of his ball form.
"No problem, now let's toast this bucket of bolts!" Cannonbolt bounced around SixSix and uncurled his body. Releasing Yukiko, who had her Persona ready.
"AGIDYNE!" The massive fireball was too fast and strong for the bounty hunter to avoid. He was nailed by it, the flames melting some of his armor as he crashed against the metal floor.
Yukiko would've celebrated her victory if she wasn't falling over another pit of lava. "BEN- '' Her cry was stopped when a blue light of energy surrounded her, Yukiko turned around to see Synaptac gently placing her onto the floor.
"Oh…thanks," She smiled.
"Don't mention it-UGH!" Synaptac cried as he was ensnared by an electrical whip. Yukiko turned around to see SixSix had recovered quickly enough from her attack.
Cannonbolt swooped down and striked SixSix, stopping him from torturing Synaptac.
At the same time Tiny and Ultimos had finished beating Vulkanus to a pulp, the female Tetramand had knocked the Detrovite into the burning magma. Ultimos was giddy with excitement. "Oh, boy! This is exhilarating! No plan, no rules! No-" He was cut off when Tiny tackled him out of the way of a large ball of magma.
Vulkanus had crawled his way out of the pool of lava. The Detrovite saw that the ingredients were being tampered with, turning his attention to Max and Gwen. The Detrovite balled up a bunch of metal and dipped it into the pool. He tossed it like a baseball directly at the humans.
Max and Gwen luckily reacted in time to dodge the massive magma ball; however, the controls were completely destroyed. "The controls are smashed! I can't mess with the mix from here!" Gwen yelled, worried.
Seeing that they wouldn't be getting in his way again, Vulkanus prepared to dip Element X into the mix.
Tiny used her strength to knock Vulkanus off balance by smashing the ground. The Detrovite lost his grip on Element X and it went flying into the air. Cannonbolt quickly caught it, almost burning his hands. "Hot! Hot!" He turned around to see both criminals had their sights on him.
"Agidyne!" The large fireball smashed into Vulkanus' back, but he barely even felt it.
"Ha! Was that supposed to hurt me!?" Vulkanus turned around to face her.
"No, but she is," Yukiko giggled.
Vulkanus raised an eyebrow, turning around to see four red knuckles simultaneously smash into his face. The Detrovite crashed into the wall, groaning in pain as Tiny stood over him.
SixSix descended over to attempt to help his teammate, but his efforts were foiled by Synaptac. The brainy enforcer used a beam of energy to disrupt SixSix's jetpack, making the bounty hunter fly off balance.
Ultimos flew upwards and landed a devastating uppercut to SixSix's chin before using a hammer blow to knock him down into Vulkanus. Synaptac used this chance to tip over the magma bowl above the two, drenching the criminals in lava. Ultimos used his super breath to cool down the magma, trapping the criminals for good.
Cannonbolt and Yukiko made their way over to the Galactic Enforcers, the Arburian Pelatora still had the Element X in his hands. "Heh, I don't know if it's art, but I like it," Cannonbolt smirked.
"Pfft! Snrk! Ben recognizing art…HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Yukiko laughed.
Everyone stared at her weirdly. "Is she always like this?" Tiny asked.
"You have no idea…" Cannonbolt sighed.
Ultimos carried the captured criminals out of the Mill.
Ben walked over to Tiny. "Uh, listen..about that…uh? Tetramand thing-"
"Do not worry. I have found a new partner," Tiny said as Synaptac wrapped a tentacle around her shoulder. "Check out the frontal lobes on him," She cooed happily.
"Oh, thank goodness," Yukiko felt relieved. Ben was too young to be falling in love or vice versa in her opinion. Especially someone who was much older than him.
If any girl wanted to date him, they'd have to get her approval first.
Ultimos approached them next. "Ben, your unorthodox methods are exactly what we need to defeat this new breed of criminals. We officially extend to you a full commission into the Galactic Enforcers!" Ultimos held up a badge.
Ben took the badge. "Thanks, but no thanks." He turned around to his family. "I'm already a part of a super team." His words brought appreciative smiles from his family, especially Yukiko who was swaying in delight.
Ben tried to hand the badge back, but Ultimos refused. "Keep it. In hopes that we meet again someday," The leader walked back over to his team. "GALACTIC ENFORCERS! AWAY!" The hero team and criminals were teleported back to their ship.
Gwen smiled at Ben. "You really mean all that stuff to Ultimos about already being part of a super team?"
"Nah! But who wants to hang with a pack of wackos like that! I'm better off with you guys!" Ben tried to walk off but Yukiko's arms quickly trapped him.
"Oh, Ben! You don't need to hide your true feelings from us! I know you love us!" Yukiko held the boy in her arms, much to his irritation.
"Yukiko! Let me go! This isn't funny!" Ben cried as Max and Gwen were laughing behind the two. Ben continued to struggle in Yukiko's hug, wondering if he would've been better with the rule-abiding weirdos.
Chapter End
NOTE: Think of Ultimos explanation for not including Yukiko to be like the Provisional License in MHA. The Omnitrix is recognized as an official weapon (Regardless of Azmuth's actual motives). They don't know what a Persona is, nor can they even see it.
I bet we all can't wait for Yukiko to meet Kai. That is going to be a fun episode.
Yukiko meeting Julie will also be interesting. Along with the rest of Ben's eventual harem that he gets in Omniverse.
Next chapter - Tough Luck
