Albedo patiently looked at the screen of the machine that was working as a link to Malware, nothing relevant was still showing, just a mixture of incomprehensible and non-logical colors.
"That reminds me that hypnotic frog from that cartoon we saw the other day. " Driba commented from his crystal prison, at some moment both Galvans had seen what Albedo was doing, along with Animo, while Khyber and the giant cricket had left to patrol. " What was the name? " He asked as he massaged her chin.
"I would appreciate if you two little vermins kept quiet. " Supreme Albedo said angrily. " Compare my creation with a cartoon is degrading. " The hyper-evolved Galvan was silent for a moment before turning and looking at Driba. " And you're talking about Futurama. "
"That's it! " He replied while hitting his fist against his palm. " Blukic, do you think the Plumbers will let us do a marathon for the movie Friday? "
"We have to talk with Magistrate Tennyson, they no longer let us get close to the main screen cables, remember? " answered his partner.
"To be hostages, you two are too calm. "said with some surprise.
"This happens at least once a week. " Blukic answered with a certain indifference.
"With other aliens we tried to start a club we called it "those likely to be used as hostages", patent-pending. " Driba added proudly.
The geneticist villain fell silent at that and just nodded.
" Hey, does that thing have internet access? " asked the slenderer Galvan as he looked at Albedo. "I want to check the Extranet. "
"You ask if my creation just has internet access!? " He questioned irritably. " It is a supercomputer that I create in record time to control the remains of that stupid mutant Mechamorph and you ask if it has internet access?! " Blukic nodded, earning a flat look from Albedo, who seconds later threw a neural discharge into the box, electrocuting both aliens.
After having silenced them, even for a few moments, the villain returned his attention to the device, it finally showed something, Malware was in free fall, heading towards a purple structure that had a glass dome on top.
The impact came shortly after, the signal he needed to activate the drone.
His three eyes widened slightly in surprise, that other side seemed to possess extraterrestrial life similar to the inhabitants of the Undertown, or at least in principle, they all shared the characteristic that they were more human-like than their counterparts from that reality, but even so, the monstrous attributes were remarkable.
He then made Malware observe his surroundings, unknown entities, and with enough technology to create structures of that type, that could only mean that they had a similar level to the Earth he was currently on.
"Fascinating. " The only human present muttered.
Being a geneticist obsessed with mutations in animals, discovering the existence of a universe where its inhabitants were partly animals was like seeing his greatest dream come true.
"Hey, that one looks like Patelidey. " Driba commented and pointing at the screen, but the villains ignored him.
The image that was given to them by Malware stopped for a moment, the mechamorph had come across a figure well known to all of them, a figure that made Albedo frown.
"Tennyson. " He muttered angrily, Blukic and Driba looked at each other, relieved that they had not killed the greatest hero in the universe.
It was then that something unexpected happened, the screen began to have interference, Albedo frowned at that and tried to retrieve the image, but an overload hit the machine.
This set both him and Animo back.
"It seems that your little invention is defective. " was the mockery of the human. " Where was the smartest mind of three galaxies? "
Albedo was going to answer that but caught herself when she saw a hexagonal eye appear on the screen so that seconds later it turned off.
"This is… unexpected. " Commented the Galvan Hyper Evolved.
"What happened? "
"It seems that our guinea pig has come to himself." -
Animo was about to question what he meant, but the sound of a shot from Blaster made him duck. Albedo floated out of the firing line of shots, which hit the machinery, causing it to explode in a cloud of smoke.
"Oh yeah! The cavalry has arrived! " exclaimed Driba cheerfully.
Eon, who was concentrating on keeping that portal open, did not realize that he was in the line of fire of a dark figure. He had in his hands a kind of super-advanced weapon and he was pointing at the villain. And then he pulled the trigger.
Having a suit tough enough to withstand most attacks, Eon was not hurt from that shot, but his concentration was affected.
The portal in front of him was affected by that, rippling its shape for a second and then closed.
He turned around to see who was responsible for that such act, only to curse under his breath. He saw how a group of maybe twenty people and aliens covered in white armor were surrounding the crater and their weapons were ready to attack.
Behind that initial group was two six-wheeled tank-like vehicles.
"They arrived much earlier than I expected. " He commented while holding his wound.
"Attention villains! This will be your only chance to surrender, release the hostages, and come in peace or we will open fire! " exclaimed a masculine and quite old voice by a Speaker.
At that moment a giant cricket appeared from the sky and smashed one of the vehicles, causing it to burst into flames.
Khyber, enter the scene seconds later, the alien hunter was hidden behind some rocks and giving use of weapons that had obtained, opened fire, managing to three times in two of them.
Seeing themselves attacked, that strike force quickly organized to respond.
The battle did not take long to begin. From his position, Eon could see Albedo transforming into a kind of giant bipedal lizard of green and blue color, while Animo activated his antennae and directed his beam towards the ground, a huge earthworm burst from the depths and began to attack too.
"It seems that I will have to use my plan B after all. " He complained while accommodating his shoulder and floating back, his hands shone purple and with a movement, several portals opened, dropping several people covered by black and purple armor, which charged against those who had white armor.

A faint breeze blew through the girls, who stared in shock toward the place where seconds before their space friend had been. Witnessing Upgrade defending Cleo from danger at the cost of her safety surprised them.
Cleo didn't know what to think, a strange sensation invaded her as if a weight had been placed on her shoulders and her heart. She had treated him like he was not a being with emotions all that week, insulting him and suggesting that they leave him somewhere to make it someone else's problem, seeing how he still put himself in danger for her left the mind of the young woman in white.
Her friends were in a similar state, Frankie's eyes were wide as if they were plates, her legs were shaking and the bolts in her neck gave off a few sparks. Clawdeen gritted her teeth as her fists clenched and her pupils grew small. And Draculaura could not contain herself and burst into tears, the young woman fell to the ground on her knees and sobbed the name of her friend.
"This can't be ... " Clawdeen whispered angrily, the young woman looked towards where the petrified alien was thrown, the walls had been destroyed and the dust was just beginning to settle, she had seen him regenerate his arm, he couldn't be dead just because it was petrified, right?
"He saved me. " Cleo whispered, hearing that made Clawdeen's ears prick up, her jaw clenched much tighter and her teeth gritted.
Frankie noticed this, she knew how temperamental Clawdeen could be sometimes and how rash if I thought she was right. Her concern increased when the young woman walked over to Cleo and held her up by her outfit.
"This is your fault! " She shouted, the mummy looked at her perplexed, but she was not going to be silent, but before she could say something, the girl spoke again. " You had to be a heartless bitch, right?! You had to be right as always, right?! "
"Clawdeen, enough, no one was to blame for this! " exclaimed Frankie.
"It was not my fault that he decided to do that! " The mummy defended herself.
"But he did! Even when you treated him horribly! " Cleo was silent at that, she could not formulate a word, Clawdeen was right, she treated him very badly.
"Clawdeen is enough! " Frankie yelled, his bolts unleashed several shots, which ran across the floor.
The werewolf closed her eyes with fruition and released the mummy, who glared at her extremely angrily as she pulled away and walked in the direction of Draculaura.
Cleo was silent, even so, guilt was beginning to invade her heart and the question that echoed in her mind was one, why did he do it?
Frankie tried to collect her thoughts and emotions, this whole situation got out of control too quickly and she was beginning to fear for the integrity of her group of friends.
"Come on, think something Frankie ... " the young woman whispered, she needed to think of something quickly.
Although she was interrupted when the bubbling sound coming from the Malware debris caught her attention. Her eyes traveled in the direction of the pool of metallic liquid, then she felt her bolts sparkle with force and her legs moved unconsciously, taking a step back.
From the center of the liquid, a black and red-lined hand was formed, it waved unstably as if it could not maintain its shape until it fell against the ground, the blow made it transform once more into liquid. Only it did not end there, a second hand took the place of the first one, and in the same way, it tried to keep its structure stable, it fell against the tile of the floor, digging its claws into it.
The sound of the ground cracking caught the attention of the young monsters, who turned their attention to the puddle.
Fear quickly seized them as they saw how a humanoid torso attached to that hand began to form and emerge from the pool, a single hexagonal eye appeared where the head should be, but the figure melted once more.
But the hand remained in place, and then another emerged, doing the same as the first.
Little by little, both began to put pressure on the ground, smashing the tiles and allowing the body to begin to form once more.
Those few seconds seemed like hours to the young women, who did not know exactly what to do.
The puddle was completely gathered, giving rise to a humanoid figure that was very reminiscent of Upgrade, his shoulders were broad and he had a muscular body, his torso was ivory white, contrasting with the black color that made up the rest of his body, adorned by numerous red lines symmetrical to each other. Unlike the green Mechamorph, his head was more polygonal, giving him a more aggressive appearance.
Finally, an alone eye opened in the center of his face and below it, a bright yellow symbol appeared, this one was similar to a four-pointed star.
"You've to be kidding me. " Those words came out of Clawdeen's mouth, Draculaura by her side tightened her grip on her friend, seeing her space friend's rival standing up once again scared her and at the same time gave her hope, perhaps Upgrade was also still alive.
Cleo swallowed frightened, a chill ran through her body when she saw how that creature examined her body, her eye traveled over her hands, then her torso and finally she looked around until she noticed them.
"Fra-Frankie, that thing is looking us. " the mummy of the group uttered between stutters.
The aforementioned did not say anything, the nerves were affecting her system. She highly respected Upgrade, respect that was born by the fear of his multiple abilities.
The alien had displayed an incredible range of abilities and strength and she was sure his negative version possessed them too.
The alien extended one of his hands towards them, which caused them all to open their eyes, seconds later it deformed until it transformed into a thin barrel similar to that of a pistol of some kind, but much more advanced.
"Watch out! " Clawdeen shouted, she reacted quickly and took Draculaura, removing both from the line of fire of that villain.
Frankie and Cleo dove to the opposite side, barely managing to dodge that thing's shot.
Moments later, the villain fired his shot, striking in the center between the four young women.
A small amount of debris was thrown everywhere. Satisfied at that, the Mechamorph began to advance towards them.
"Curious. " They heard a computerized male voice comment in perfect English. " A Transylian. " The alien withdrew his weapon and walked towards Frankie, the young woman gulped when she saw Malware a few steps away from her. "Tell me, girl, where is Ben Tennyson? "
The girl could not answer, fear formed a lump in her throat, but her mind worked as fast as it could at those words.
Ben Tennyson.
Upgrade had called himself Ben, was that his real name? Was Upgrade some sort of classification for his people?
"I'm losing my patience. " The sinister voice of the Mechamorph made her come out of her thoughts, only to see how he was pointing an energy sword at her. "Speak! "
"I-I don't know! I don't know who is Ben Tennyson! " she replied with fear.
"Don't play with me Transylian! " The alien took her by the neck and lifted her. " Maybe I wasn't fully awake yet, but I know you were with him a second ago, so tell me! Where is he!? "
The orange glow of the alien's weapon illuminated Frankie's face, seeing that energy blade so close to her face was terrified, she felt her throat little by little being crushed by the force of the villain, but he held back not to finish so fast with her.
Clawdeen, seeing her friend in danger, looked for anything to help her, and when she saw a piece of rubble near her feet, she did not hesitate to take it.
"Hey Christmas tree face! " The voice of the werewolf caused Malware to turn towards her, only to receive a direct blow to his face from a piece of debris. It was not at all effective against him, but it did annoy him. " Get away from my friend! " demanded the monster girl.
The Mechamorph dropped Frankie, only to head towards the werewolf, who gulped in fear at that.
"Interesting, you're nothing I've seen before. " he commented as he approached, his silhouette projected on her, but Clawdeen did not back down, either because of bravery or because her legs refused to move.
Malware noticed the fear in her face, which made him smile to himself, causing that kind of absolute dread was one of the things he enjoyed the most. Then his gaze went to the second girl.
Draculaura was a few steps behind Clawdeen, and her fear was more than obvious, a flash appeared in the alien's mind, he had seen her before ... yes, he had seen her with Ben Tennyson, helping him, so she was his ally, she would serve either to give him the information he was looking for or to force that insolent brat out of hiding.
With a simple blow from the back of his right hand, the alien sent Clawdeen flying a few meters, then walking to Draculaura, who tried to back away to escape, but to no avail.
He grabbed her by the hair and lifted her, to face his only eye.
Seeing how the young woman's expression was transformed into one of pain and fear pleased him, his eye slightly curved, but he chose to remain as impassive as possible.
"I remember you, you were here when he attacked me, I saw you help him. " The girl screeched when she saw the energy sword approaching her face. " If you don't want to lose that head of yours, you will speak now. "
Faced with this threat, Draculaura could only cry in response, she tried to free her hair from the clutches of the villain, but it was useless.
Malware's patience raked its limit and he dropped her to the ground, only to stomp on her chest and hold her in place. His right arm transformed back into that weapon from before and he aimed it.
"I will count to ten, one ... " the girl tried in vain to free her body, but the difference in size and weight prevented it, Malware found this entertaining, so he decided to push the girl further to the limit, he began to gather energy in his weapon, which emitted a sinister red glow. "Eight… nine…" the girl cried with helplessness and fear, but when the villain was ready to simply eliminate her and move on to the next one, Frankie's scream stopped him.
"Wait! Don't hurt her! " She implored, the mechamorph saw an opportunity in that and turned towards her, without stopping pointing his weapon at the vampire.
"Seeing your friend at risk has made you think things better, right? he asked in a tone of utter amusement, a tone which chilled both Cleo and Clawdeen's blood. " Speak Transylian, where's Ben Tennyson? "
"I-I don't know any Ben Tennyson. " Malware did not like that answer and sent even more energy to his weapon, this horrified Frankie, who was quick to speak again. " Wait! You-you mean Upgrade? "
That phrase elicited a reaction from the mechamorph, he released the Vampire's chest from his foot and focused all his attention on the girl made of parts.
" Upgrade. " answered. " His Galvanic Mechamorph form. " That phrase confused Frankie. Form? What did he mean by that? " Tell me, Transylian, where is he? "
" Frankie, don't say a shit to that bastard! " Clawdeen shouted, the young woman was trying to stand up, being a werewolf she had incredible resistance, but, even so, it was clear that the blow had affected her, some drops of blood fell down her forehead, staining her cheeks.
Malware turned his attention to her and fired his weapon.
"No! " Cleo shouted when she saw how the alien shoots at the werewolf, the impact occurred and a black smoke screen formed there.
" Clawdeen! "- Draculaura shouted in horror.
Frankie felt her heart stop, the smoke gradually dissipated, revealing that there was no longer any trace of Clawdeen, her best friend had just been murdered in front of her. Two of your friends had just died? The bolts in her neck sparked hard, electricity crackled through her body as her eyes remained fixed on where Clawdeen had been.
Anger began to flow through her system, a strange sensation hit her. Being so young, she had not experienced everything the world had to offer, but she knew about some things. The emotions. She knew that she could unleash each one, she experienced happiness, nervousness, love, fear and now, anger, she could feel the flame of hatred grow in her heart and it was transformed into anger, all that anger was directed only towards the alien that he snatched from her friends.
But before she could even think of anything, her skirt and hair were ruffled by a powerful current of wind that swept through the place.

Kamen Rider Zero One
Now is the Right Time (Instrumental)
"Just at the right time. " commented a male voice.
"What the…" Frankie heard Cleo exclaim, which confused the girl made of human parts.
She opened her eyes in surprise when she saw a reptile tail wagging in the air, it was attached to a strange creature, similar to a kind of velociraptor, but its body was covered by a black suit with a green chest, in addition to possessing a black helmet covering his face. In one of his arms was an unconscious Clawdeen.
"Until you appear. " Commented the mechamorph.
"What can I say? I like dramatic entrances. " The strange monster answered.
Frankie froze when she saw him. Where did he come from? How could Clawdeen be in his arms? What was going on?
The young woman watched as the reptilian monster moved his head from side to side, causing his joints to rattle.
"I'm a little out of practice, I spent a whole week stuck as Upgrade you know? " Commented the strange reptilian monster, hearing the name of their space friend, the girls were even more confused. " I think I need to warm up before kick your ass back to the space, I would hate to hurt a muscle, I need them to play football. "
The girls were shocked on hearing that. This creature knew about the origin of the alien. This must be impossible unless he already knew about him.
That could only mean one thing.
He was another alien.
"Do you mind if I stretch my legs a bit? " They heard him ask casually, almost as if he were not facing absolute danger, Malware for his part remained silent, which made the new alien smile behind his helmet. " It won't take me more than one, maybe two seconds. "
Frankie did not have time to process anything, the alien just finished saying that and disappeared from the place with Clawdeen. Suddenly everything around the girl went blurry, her stomach churned, and the next thing she knew she was outside the Maul.
Soon Cleo and Draculaura appeared next to her, to complete a current wind stirred her skirt and turned her hair.
"What ... what the hell? " she heard Cleo said, the mummy observed everything around her. " Are we ... outside? " She then felt her stomach turn and horrible nausea appeared.
Draculaura tried to open her mouth, but gagged, forcing her to cover her mouth with both hands to avoid vomiting.
A shadow was projected on the young women, when seeing it, Frankie realized that it was that new alien, the visor of his helmet had been retracted, revealing a blue face with bright green eyes.
"It seems I arrive just in time to save you. " She saw how a smile escaped from the black lips of the strange monster. " You can be calm; I'll kick that idiot's ass. "
The alien made a rather disgusted expression when he saw how Draculaura could not contain her nausea and expelled all the contents of her stomach.
"Uh, sorry about that, moving at high speeds causes dizziness. " He apologized, after that, his visor lowered once more. " You were brave to come back, but this is not something you should get into. " After saying that, he disappeared and once again, that mysterious wind current stirred the hair of the young women.
Frankie's mind was blank. She couldn't figure out what had just happened. Her gaze remained fixed on the Maul's door.
Accelerated footsteps were heard then, the young woman turned to the source of these, she could see her friends running towards them with worried expressions.
"Girls! " Lagoona's scream reached her ears, which for some reason were buzzing.
"Oh my god…" Spectra floated around Clawdeen, she could see some shavings on the girl and a bit of blood, which scared her.
" Spectra, go find the paramedics, now! " Venus ordered, the ghost nodded in response and left. "Girls, what the hell, why did you come inside again ?!" she questioned.
Frankie didn't reply, her eyes were fixed on the Maul.
"Frankie. " Cleo's voice made her come out of her stupor and look at her, the mummy had a really worried expression on her face. "What just happened? "
The mysterious reptile reappears within meters of Malware. The villain looked at him without surprise, after all, he already knew him.
"Sorry for the delay, too much traffic. " He commented with amusement, his tail wagged behind him and hit the ground hard, that was a pretty clear threat. " Now I can give you all the attention you deserve. "
"Flattering. " The mechamorph replied, his arm transformed into a laser cannon and pointed it at the reptile. "It's been a while, hasn't it, Tennyson?" -
"Not enough for my liking. " The reptile easily dodged several shots from his opponent's weapon, his speed was inhuman, even for the villain's computerized mind, following him was difficult.
and suddenly felt like her whole body was beaten and " Boom ", was produced.
The reptilian alien had tackled him, and thanks to be moving at high speeds, the resulting force was much greater.
Malware shot out of the unexpected attack. His body crashed into some support pillars, completely smashing them and causing part of the structure to fall on top of him.
The reptile did not lower his guard at that, he knew how tough that villain could be, he was not going to underestimate him.
The debris exploded, and several laser shots emerged from the cloud of dust, the reptile managed to dodge two of them, but a third managed to hit it in the shoulder and make it skid until it crashed into a wall.
He let out an audible "AHG" from the impact, yet he still stood up and looked in the direction of the attack, only to see Malware walking in his direction.
"That really hurts. " He commented while holding his arm, he had a burn there, but the suit had protected him enough. - Maybe I should change now. -
The creature reared fully and one of his claws struck the dial that rested on his chest, covering his body completely in green light.
This light lasted only a second.
When it stopped, the reptile was no longer there, in his place was a humanoid being made entirely of light green crystals, he had a black outfit almost entirely, except for his chest, belt, and the soles of his shoes, which They were green, what stood out the most about him was that buckle that his belt possessed, a silver-colored gadget with a green hourglass symbol.
The humanoid slammed his fists, causing a crystalline sound.
"Perhaps Diamondhead is much more suitable for this situation. " He commented with some amusement, even so, his brow furrowed and he started walking towards the villain.
" Your petrosapien form won't stop me from ending you. " The mechamorph's arms turned into energy swords and he leaned his body forward taking a much more aggressive pose.
"How curious, because the scoreboard so far goes Diamondhead one, Mechamorph maniac zero. " was the hero's response, like Malware, he leaned forward and transformed his arms into two sharp pieces of crystal. " And I'm about to turn it into two to zero. "
Both fighters stared at each other, analyzing each other. The constant struggles they had both had since they met had left scars on both of them and neither would hold back to finish off the other.
The fight started when they threw themselves on each other at the same time.
The clash of their weapons produced a slight draft of wind and some pieces of glass were thrown from the weapons of the Petrosapien.
Malware moved an arm away and it transformed into a blaster cannon and shoot at his opponent, who recoiled from it.
He retracts one of his swords. Then he threw a punch to the ground.
The mechamorpgh had to turn liquid to avoid a group of sharp pieces of crystal that emerged from the ground. When his body reformed, he noticed that he was under the shadow of two objects.
His eye widened in surprise when he saw two huge pieces of cyan-crystal on either side of his body. They pounced on him, crushing him, or at least that was the original intention.
Using his superhuman strength, the villain managed to catch both with his hands, although too close to his body.
Its claws dug into them, cracking them, then exerting much more force and completely ripping them apart.
A shower of crystals momentarily obstructed the hero's vision, but it quickly disappeared.
Diamondhead made an expression of disgust as Malware was on its feet and seemingly unscathed. Maybe he had underestimated that guy.
"Nice try. " The villain crushed a piece of crystal that remained in his right hand and gave the hero a look full of arrogance. " But not good enough. "
Releasing a curse under his breath, the hero prepared to return to the confrontation. He raised his fists and ran toward him.

Clawdeen's eyes began to open little by little. She could feel everything around her spinning, then she saw a small, incandescent white light in front of her. She wondered if it was the light on the other side, calling for her soul to rest for eternity. If she was honest she preferred to be on move, she still had to finish her dress for the homecoming, complete some requests her classmates made to her, do some sewing with Frankie and not to mention the Mashionals, she was sure that Cleo would go to the other world just to get her to participate. Why had she agreed to join the Fearlandig?
"She start to react. " She heard a voice say, she did not recognize it, which confused her.
Little by little her vision became clearer. She saw then that that incandescent light was a small flashlight that was in front of her and the hands of a human, he had a doctor's outfit and seemed to be analyzing her.
Her eyes took in everything around her, she was on the ground or so she could deduce. With some difficulty, she began to get up. A sharp headache hit her, and she did her best to resist it and not groan.
Her gaze swept the scene around her. She was in a place surrounded by several other monsters, most of them were being treated by paramedics, either for minor scratches or some slightly more important, but not fatal injuries.
"Miss, how do you feel? " Asked the doctor who was next to her. "Can you tell me if something hurts? " He asked kindly.
"My… my head hurts a lot. " She answered with some difficulty, she held her forehead when a flash of the previous events appeared in her mind, this memory worried her. " My friends! I have to ... ahg ... " the young woman couldn't move too much, her head was killing her.
"Please do not make sudden movements, you suffered a concussion, fortunately, it does not seem that you have any serious injuries, just a very strong migraine. " He explained. " About your friends, you can be calm, they were next to you and except for some minor scratches they are fine, I will call them right now. "
The young werewolf said nothing, just watched the doctor walk away from her.
Her mind tried to relive the previous events, how that monster attacked her friends and demanded answers, how he pointed his gun at her and fired, she tried to remember what happened after that, but her mind was blurred. She was sure that lunatic had attacked her, so, how was he still in one piece?
" Clawdeen! " The sound of her best friend's voice made her look up, then she saw her friends, who were approaching with extremely concerned expressions towards her.
Draculaura was the first to arrive and without wasting time she crouched down at her height and gave her a big hug.
"I was so worried! " The werewolf felt her neck get wet, her friend was crying, she couldn't help but feel relieved and carefully wrapped her arms around her.
"Quiet Lala, I'm fine. " She then digested her attention to her other two friends, who had relieved expressions, even so, she could see how Cleo had her makeup smeared, a sign that at some point she was crying. " Girls, what happened? "
"We do not know. " Frankie answered. " That Red Upgrade attacked you and then ... we thought ... " The young woman's heart contracted at the thought of that possibility, but she forced herself to push those thoughts away. " A reptilian monster appeared and suddenly we were all outside the Maul. "
"What? " She asked confused.
"She tells the truth." Cleo spoke. "I managed to see a bit of him, he looked like a dinosaur, but he spoke. " This information surprised Clawdeen, the werewolf turned her attention once more to Frankie, who nodded to her surprise.
"What happened with Upgrade? " She asked, being a werewolf, she had a great attachment to her friends, even if she only knew them from a few days ago, she couldn't help but feel worried about the alien.
"We don't know, he hasn't reappeared. " Frankie answered. " Lagoona, Venus and Spectra continue looking for Ben, but sooner or later they will realize that he is nowhere, I don't know what I'm going to tell them. "
"I'll think something. " Cleo said to the surprise of the girls, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "He saved me and ... I want to pay him, even if it's hiding what happened to him. " A small laugh escaped Clawdeen's lips, which made the mummy raise an eyebrow. "What? "
-Oh nothing, you're not as bitch as I thought. - she replied between laughs.
Cleo was going to answer that, but the sound of shattering glass interrupted her.
All eyes turned to the Maul, only to watch as a giant monolith made of cyan-colored crystals rose above it and passed through the glass dome.
The sound of the battle taking place inside was heard more clearly, and a powerful beam of red energy shot up into the sky.
Those present began to murmur, while the forces of order began to move, to enter the building and discover once and for all, what was happening.
"Look at that thing ... " whispered the werewolf amazed.
"Whatever is happening inside there, I don't like it at all. " added Cleo with fear.

Diamondhead hit Malware with a huge chunk of debris that before s was a pillar of support, the metamorph was thrown into the air, but landed on his feet, crawling on the floor and using his claws to slow down.
The crystalline alien's attack did not end there and he threw the pillar of his hands as if it were a spear.
The villain transformed his hands into energy swords once more and used them to cut through the object.
The two halves passed him and ended up crashing somewhere behind him.
"Is that all, Tennyson? Can the Great Hero, the savior of the universe, do nothing against me? " He questioned mockingly as he pointed one of his weapons at him. " So disappoint. "
"You are beginning to fill my patience. " said the petrosapien. "Why you won't tell me what's your plan? Or better, how did you end up in this dimension? "
That question took the villain by surprise, who stared at him.
Another dimension? Were they in another dimension? The infinite possibilities gave them the truth to those words, but that only made the biomechanical alien question himself, ¿how was he finished in that place?
His mind was distorted, he could barely remember a few things after being petrified by the Conductoid transformation of his opponent, could only see the darkness and feel how his life code was altered. The memories shook him, in those moments of despair he came to beg for help, implored his father and creator, but he knew that he would not appear. Not after everything he had done.
He had to take his mind off it, phantom pain ran through his systems and it was not the time to show weakness, so he decided to ask.
"Are we in another dimension? " His voice showed his confusion.
"Don't play with me Malware, I don't know what happened to you before or how you're talking again now, but I'm sure this is all up to you. "
"Hasty as ever, I had nothing to do with this. " His eye curved down and he tilted his posture again. "But I will take advantage of this situation, I always wanted to dominate a planet. "
"Over my dead body. "
"That can be arranged."
They both lunged at each other once more. Malware tried to cut off its opponent's head, but it was faster, ducking under the attack, then launching a direct hook to the villain's abdomen. The blow made the mechamorph's body lean forward.
Being practically on top of its enemy, the mechamorph raised both arms above its head and struck a downward blow against the petrosapien's back.
When he saw him fall to the ground, the villain did not miss his chance and took him by the skull, then he evacuated and slammed him to the ground.
This action he repeated several times, some crystal fragments began to be thrown at each impact, he only stopped when he felt satisfied.
To see that his rival was disoriented, the villain decided that it was time to end that fight.
The mechamorph kicked him in the abdomen, forcing Diamondhead to stare up at the roof of the building, then reached out with one of his hands toward the hero's belt, ready to claim the greatest invention in the world. universe.
The Omnitrix.
"Any last words, Ben Tennyson?" Asked the villain as he stopped his hand on the dial that rested there.
The hero tried to move his head to look at him, some cracks were present on his face but little by little they were regenerating.
"I have some, but I don't think they are suitable for all audiences. " He replied with some amusement and clearly in pain. "For example, these starts with F and end with Uck You. "
"Even in your final moments, you take everything as a great joke. " The mechamorph pulled the device and let its nanites slide towards it. " Finally, Azmuth's greatest invention is mine!" He exclaimed with twisted joy.
But something strange happened, he couldn't feel how he absorbed that piece of technology. His eye curved down and he tried again, he even forced his body to slide towards that device, but nothing happened.
"What?! Why can't I absorb the Omnitrix ?! " he roared with anger, a small flash appeared in his mind, he saw himself before fully regaining his consciousness, his body had attacked Upgrade, which consequently meant in the deactivation of the green mechamorph, but before his counterpart could be deactivated, that infernal device he carried had been activated to protect him, and if he no longer possessed his most characteristic ability, it could only mean one thing. The Omnitrix had done something to his DNA. Turning away from the petrosapien, the villain began to back away and was upset. " No, no, no. " He repeated over and over as he looked at his hands.
The hero, seeing how his opponent lowered his guard, took the opportunity to stand up once more, and attack.
Both of his hands morphed into hammers and he smashed Malware with them, sending him in the direction of some debris.
The impact lifted a curtain of dust for a few seconds, but this was dispelled courtesy of several blaster shots.
These were blocked by a crystal shield that the hero created.
"You, insolent human, what did you do to me!? " The mechamorph demanded to know.
"I don't even know what the hell happened! " answered. " But I do know something, and it is that I will not let you leave this place. "
"When I'm done with you, I will tear that damn device from your remains and destroy all your allies, did you hear me?! " He replied and then fired at him again. " You'll pay for everything you've done to me! "
Diamondhead hit the ground with his fist, several sharp crystals emerged from there and headed towards the villain, who responded by doing the same, only in his case they were rocks covered in a black and red substance.
The hero jumped on the crystals, using them as a platform to propel himself to go and launch various sharp pieces from his hands, which were blocked by the villain's right arm. Unbeknownst to the latter, two of them remained embedded there.
"That will not happen Malware, I will protect this dimension from you. " He exclaimed as he landed.
Using quick footwork, the hero approached with raised guard and struck the villain in the sternum, causing him to recoil.
The villain extended his right arm to respond to the attack, but it was covered by cyan crystals, which took him by surprise.
That moment of astonishment was not wasted by the hero, who continued his attack.
"What the ... " Malware questioned when he saw his arm, he was again hit by his opponent, forcing him to back down again.
Several pieces of crystal were thrown at his feet, creating a crystalline layer over them.
Seeing what his opponent planned to do to him, he did not hesitate to hit his right arm against the crystals of his legs, managing to free his limb, but still, he kept several pieces of that crystal glued to him, which quickly expanded, covering the area again.
"Let's see how much you like to be turned into a statue. "The hero commented arrogantly as he approached him.
"Don't think this will keep me trapped forever, I managed to escape once, I'll do it again. " the crystals quickly spread through her body, which surprised him and made him angry, ¿ how much had developed his crystallokinetics powers? How strong had he become?
"Last words my lunatic enemy? " The amusement in his voice made the mechamorph even angrier.
His lines shone brightly and forced his legs to move, little by little, some cracks appeared on those crystals.
"Have fun while you can Tennyson. " Malware used all his strength to smash the crystals in one of his legs and took a step, which scared the hero, the sinister image of the red mechamorph brought back old memories of his childhood, but he did not let fear dominate him and he stood firm, looking at his rival. " I'll make you pay for everything you did to me." He moved his left arm and pointed him with it, while it was completely covered by crystals. " I'll take everything from you, just like I did when you were a kid. "
That threat made the hero frown, anger plastered on his face, which made the villain laugh.
"It's only a matter of time, Tennyson, and when it happens, you won't be able to protect those girls again."
" Bold words for a future garden ornament." The petrosapien replied, then touched the villain's head with a finger, completely covering him with crystals.
The lines on his body momentarily glowed brightly, putting the hero on guard, but eventually, they stopped.
Seeing that, the cyan-colored alien put his hands on his hips and allowed his expression to relax and sigh, he was exhausted.
A small smile escaped his lips and he spoke to himself.
"And this I call, a work clear as crystal. He chuckled at her little joke, but then scratched his head. "And now what the heck am I supposed to do with you? "
" I know a jewelry store where maybe you can sell crystals like that. " A female voice answered, the alien turned quickly, the mysterious woman from the forest was there, and she had a strangely familiar mask in one of her hands. "Hi Ben, it's been a while. "
"Great, you. " He answered clearly without much energy. " Are you coming to take me to my home or to give some unclear clue as to why I am here? "
"Oh come on, don't be like that. " she said. " I'm sorry to say I'm just passing through, I came to make sure you're okay, besides, I think this belongs to you- the woman extended the mask, he with some doubt took it, realizing then that which was his ID mask. " You shouldn't leave technology like this unsupervised Ben. -
"How do you …? " The alien looked up, but the woman had disappeared, he turned in all directions looking for any sign of her, but there was no longer any sign that she was in the place. "Oh come on! " He complained, his shoulders lowered in frustration, apparently he was going to remain trapped in that place a little longer. " I really want some Smoothies. "
His attention turned once more to his petrified enemy. I was going to have to take him from that place before the local authorities arrived, he refused to leave someone like Malware without proper supervision.
The sound of accelerated footsteps was heard nearby, he turned around, he could see some silhouettes behind the huge crystal monolith, they were approaching and seemed armed. That was his signal to leave that place.
"When I manage to return home, I will charge you for all this Malware. " he growled as he tapped the dial on his chest.
His body glowed green, his shape changed and his physical structure was altered, transforming into a radically different creature, similar to a ghost and of a green tone, almost white, a strange being had taken his place, he possessed a loner green eye on his face and several chains on his body.
The strange ghostly entity floated around Malware, and then three black tentacles with white lines emerged from its body. These coiled around the petrified alien and he easily lifted him.
After this, he began to float and move away from the place. Little by little, they both began to become invisible.
"Man, you should lose weight. " was the last thing he said before disappearing.
Moments later, a group of eight policemen entered the scene, they were perplexed by the remains of what was a battlefield.
"What the hell happened here? " Questioned one who had a thick mustache.

"And then we saw him running through the corridors, we don't know what happened after that." Cleo finished recounting, in front of her were the three monster girls who spent the afternoon with Upgrade, which had worried expressions. "Frankie thinks his cousin is fine, but we never saw him again. "
" I can't imagine what she must be going through, her own cousin might be…" Venus shook her head, refusing to think about that. "No, it is better be positive in this situation. "
"She's right, besides, I didn't see the "light". Spectra added as she floated around taking photos of everything. "This means that no one died, maybe he managed to get out the other way. "
"Can we do something? " Lagoona asked, she liked him, he was a kind and quite entertaining boy, despite not being able to speak, she was going to help in whatever way she could to find him.
"I don't know, Frankie went to check the parking lot, his truck was there, he thinks maybe he came back. "
The young woman just named came running to the place, she had a rather worried expression and her chest rose and fell, a sign that she had run all the way there.
"Cleo, the truck is missing. " she said with difficulty. "It disappeared. "
The young women looked at each other worried at this new information, Cleo approached her friend and helped her to stand up without difficulties.
"That's a good sign, right? " Lagoona asked. "Does that mean he's fine? Maybe he was just very scared and ran away. "
"It's a possibility. "Venus seconded. "Although I don't know if he's the type of guy who just runs away. " The young woman remembered when she met him, that extra strength that he showed and the security to face a thief, she was sure that he would not run away so easily. "Maybe he went to get help? "
"We are surrounded by police, firefighters, and paramedics, who else could he bring? The army? " Spectra questioned. "He fled like a coward. "
Cleo had to keep quiet, although she did not like that alien, she owed him a small debt, and she recognized his bravery in saving her, so hearing how they call him a coward scraped her patience.
"How is Clawdeen? " Lagoona asked, she did not want to continue arguing about Ben, since she noticed how Cleo and Frankie's expressions changed slightly, not very happy with Spectra's comment. "What the paramedics said? "
"She had a minor head injury and some bruising. " Frankie answered, the young woman let out a deep sigh, her mind was still trapped in those surreal events, she looked sideways in the direction of the Maul, she could see how the policemen who entered to verify the place were leaving again, which gave her the signal that the fight was over. Who was the winner? She wasn't sure, and that had her worried.
"I envy how she can heal so fast. " Lagoona commented. "I make a small cut and I have to wait weeks for my scales to grow again. "
"The advantage of being a werebeast. " Cleo commented. "I don't envy her, too much body hair for my liking. "
That comment drew a laugh from everyone and eased the heavy atmosphere a bit. It was a real relief for Frankie that even after such a strange afternoon, everyone could continue to laugh.
Shortly after the group went to where they were treating Clawdeen, the werewolf was next to Draculaura and had a bandage around her head and an annoyed expression on her face.
One of her hands tried to get close to the bandages to rip them off, but the vampire noticed this and gave it a light blow with her left hand.
"Clawdeen, stop doing that! Doctors said you should have it on for at least a few days! " she scolded, got the werewolf to throw her head back, and let out a groan full of frustration. "Please, it's for your health. "
"I am glad to see that that blow did not take away your savagery. " Cleo commented as she approached, the werewolf looked at her with a raised eyebrow but chose not to say anything. "How you feel? "
"Like I just got out of a boxing match against Manny and lost every round. " she replied. "Did you found him? " Seeing her friends shaking their heads made her put on an angry expression.
"He'll be fine, I'm sure. " Draculaura said, which surprised her friends a bit, the young vampire took a deep breath and continued. "He doesn't seem like the type of guy to just stay on the ground. "
"You sound very sure of that, do I smell a little gossip around here? " Spectra asked with some amusement as she floated close to her. "A new love triangle has just formed? "
"Remind me, why I didn't kick your ass yet? " Questioned the werewolf, irritated at the girl's comment.
"Because that blow would go through me. " The ghost answered with a big smile.
"Clawdeen! " A very worried female cry was heard in the vicinity, the young women turned towards this, only to see a couple of werewolves running towards them, the first was a woman with brown hair, she seemed to be in her forties and carried a rather casual outfit that consisted of a pink blouse with jeans and white sandals, next to her was a man, he had dark brown fur with and with some gray hair, like the woman, his outfit was casual, consisting of a white plaid shirt, brown pants, and matching shoes.
Upon arrival, the woman did not hesitate to hug the teenager with great force, causing her to let out a small groan.
"My girl! You have no idea how worried I was! "
"Mom, please! Not in front of my friends! " she implored, but her pleas fell on deaf ears.
"Clawdeen, what happened? " Asked the man, his gaze momentarily traveled to the other young women present, his eyes stopped on the young daughter of the Stein, whom he recognized. " You're Frankie, right? " She nodded. "Your father talks a lot about you, I am surprised that this bundle of nerves has not yet appeared. "
"Dad can be a bit exaggerate sometimes. " she admitted with some embarrassment. "It's a pleasure, Mr. Wolf. "
"Please, you are friend with my daughter, you are practically family to us, call me Clawrk. " The werewolf directed his attention to Draculaura, who waved with her hand. "Draculaura, I called your father." This elicited a somewhat worrying reaction from the girl, as she got very nervous, the werewolf let out a laugh at that. "Yes, he got crazy, he said he was going to come back tomorrow."
"Thank you. " She whispered with some embarrassment.
"Mom! Stop! It's just a hit! " shouted Clawdeen to the actions of her mother.
"Just a hit? " Clawdeen Wolf for the love of God, you could have died today, do you have any idea what I felt when I heard that suddenly two monsters started fighting inside the Maul? Or what I felt when I got a call saying that my daughter was hurt? "
"It's not that bad! I got worse when I played with Clawd when we were kids" Seeing how her daughter crossed her arms and refused to listen to reasons, the werewolf let out a deep sigh.
"I think that's enough Harriet if she says she's fine, then she is. " The woman gave her husband a rather annoyed look, which made him back away. " I was just saying. "
"The great alpha wolf. " The teenager commented sarcastically, making her friends laugh.
Things gradually calmed down, the monsters that had been in the Maul that day slowly left, Spectra, Venus and Lagoona withdrew after being questioned by the police officers who were collecting all possible information about what had happened, the three of them, especially Lagoona, wanted to rest a little after everything that happened.
Frankie, Cleo, Draculaura, and Clawdeen were finishing their statements.
"If you remember anything else, please don't hesitate to call the police. " Said a Werewolf dressed in a police outfit, then retired.
The young women began to walk towards their families, who were waiting for them, Frankie had to hold back a sigh seeing her father behave in such a restless way, while Clawdeen's father was holding back his laughter seeing him act that way, behind them was a luxurious white limousine, the window of this was partially down, revealing a silhouette inside.
"Can you calm down? " A male voice from the limousine questioned. "Since when are you a such nervous? "
"Leave him Ramses, fatherhood has him tense. " The werewolf commented with amusement. "So, is tomorrow breakfast still standing? Fangs is back. "
"Uhm, your lack of concern for everything that happened today makes me wonder about how much you love your daughter. " answered the one called Ramses. "I'll keep it, I want to talk to Dracula about some things. "
"Tetric as always dude. " The wolf commented and then gave Viktor a little push. "Hey, did you hear? "
"What? Hey yeah, whatever you say Clawrk. " That response earned a flat look from the werewolf, he noticed then that his daughter was already back and chose to focus his attention on her.
"How was it? " The only response he got was an exhausted groan from four of them. "I'll take that as a "good ". That received an elbow from his wife. "Ouch, what? "
"You haven't changed since high school. " Viveka commented with some disappointment.
"Mr. Nervous Bunch didn't do it either. " He replied in his defense. "I would bet my portion of steaks that he is still a total freak with technology, and that he has a small cave under the house where he builds his inventions. "
"Touché. " The woman answered and then looked at her daughter. "Are you ready to go home? " Her daughter nodded, she noticed the worried look she had, and she knew why. "He will be fine, he is old enough to take care of himself. " This comment earned a couple of curious looks from those who did not know about Frankie's "cousin", the woman limited herself to giving a simple answer. "An acquaintance of the family. " the monsters around her just nodded. "I think it's time for all of us to leave, this day has been too long. "
"Agree, I'm starving. " Clawdeen seconded. "Do you want to come to dinner at my house Lala? -
"I would like, I… I don't want to be alone tonight. " she replied with some embarrassment.
"Quiet Draculaura, you will always be welcome in our house. " Clawdeen's mother said as she gave the girl a kind smile.
The young women said goodbye to each other and each one went with their respective families and in the case of Cleo, she entered the luxurious limousine, there was her father, with a quite serious expression, the man had a classic mummy appearance, even so, he dressed a black suit and carried a cane in his hands.
"Do you have something you want to tell me? " He questioned when he saw that his daughter had a slightly worried expression.
"No daddy. " she replied, seeing that her father raised an eyebrow, she spoke again. "I'm just exhausted, that's all. "
"Okay then, let's go home, your sister is waiting for us for dinner. "

The fight between the villains and the plumbers reached a critical point, the surrounding terrain had warped much more than it already was, explosions and gunshots crossed from side to side, but things were soon to end.
" Tsk, " Eon growled as his energy sword flew out of his hands after receiving the blow from another.
This era was carried by a young cat-like alien, his height and physical build gave him the appearance of someone in his twenties, and he wore navy blue armor with a black suit underneath.
"Give up Eon, you won't get away with it. " he said while transforming his gun into a blaster and pointed him. "Surrender. "
"I'm afraid that's not part of my plan." He replied with amusement, then move both arms, creating temporary portals from which six of his lackeys emerged.
They pounced on the alien, who was forced to open fire, managing to shoot down two, but the other four managed to get too close to shoot them.
Transforming his weapon once more, the alien blocked the first cut from one of those lackeys, then took a step to the left, avoiding being stabbed by two others.
Eon took advantage of this and walked away from that fight, with the presence of the plumbers here, he would not have enough time to open a portal properly, he would have to force the opening, which was not a very safe option.
The time traveler ran in the direction of where Khyber was, the Zaroffian using some rocks as their cover to safely fire at their enemies.
"Hunter, bring Animo, it's time to go! " Shouted the time traveler as he passed him.
The alien nodded in response and holstered his weapon on his back, then ran in another direction.
Albedo saw Eon running towards the crater, which meant it was time to go.
His body glowed red and he transformed into a kind of six-foot-tall blue robot, it extended its arms and six small discs emerged from them, which scattered around it and pointed in the direction of the Plumbers.
"Sonic… DOOM! " He exclaimed, a powerful sonic slingshot emerged from each disc, it destroyed everything in its path, the Plumbers attacking it was forced to retreat when the debris caused by that attack flew out in all directions.
The evil genie wasted no time and ran towards the crater.
Giving use of his powers, Eon floated toward the center of the crater and run all his energy into his arms. With the crack closed again, he would have to force the opening, this would undoubtedly be something very risky and would leave his energies at their limit, but he did not care if all his energy was spent on that, this time, he would be victorious.
"Traveler, what do we do now!? " Animo questioned as he approached mounted on a kind of mutated fly, behind him was Khyber.
"I recommend adjusting your belt. " Eon replied with dark amusement, and without wasting any more time, he extended his arms to the front.
The Plumbers approached the edge of the crater, they all started shooting in the direction of the villains, but when the shots approached them, something strange happened.
A distortion in reality appeared, and a shock wave was thrown in all directions.
The shots froze in midair and all the time stopped.
Eon held his chest with pain, had managed to freeze time, but doing so at the same time and open a rift between reality was leading to the limit.
His eyes quickly drifted to that dimensional instability. It had started to close again, which he didn't like.
"I refuse to let this opportunity go! " He roared angrily, his powers were unleashed uncontrollably, this managed to stabilize the distortion and begin to open once more, but this time it was different from the previous one, it was unstable, it was rippling and small lightning bolts shot towards the ground.
Time began to run again, which took the time traveler by surprise that was his limit. But before he could understand what happened, a wind current pulled him forward.
He had to use what little strength he had left to stay grounded at that exact spot.
"This isn't good. " Animo commented when he saw how the portal began to expand and shake, at the same time that some debris began to be absorbed.
Plumbers observed the situation with concern, which is that has made Eon, unleashed a powerful gravitational field.
The wind started to go crazy and even the weather was affected.
Dark clouds formed in the sky and unleashed violet lightning bolts against the ground.
"Hey! Someone get us out of here! " Driba cried while Blukic kicked the wall of his prison trying to break it.
Both Galvans screamed in horror as their little prison rose into the air and was thrown in the direction of the portal.
"Aaaaaaah! " They yelled as they hugged.
When the object came into contact with the portal, it disappeared inside.
Seconds later the dimensional instability expanded uncontrollably, absorbing everything in its path, including the villains.
The plumbers were forced to hold on as much as they could, the vehicles they brought with them began to be dragged into the portal, forcing them to evacuate.
These were dragged into instability, losing themselves inside.
The maximum point reached exactly the edge of the crater as if it were a black hole absorbing everything that was not attached. Until suddenly, as if it had never happened, the portal closed, leaving a place much more devastated than the previous one.
The members of the Plumbers gradually recovered from this sudden chaos, making sure that all their companions were safe.
One of them, precisely the alien in the blue armor, approached the edge and observed the site, his brow furrowing slightly at the destruction caused.
"This cannot be good. " He murmured as he holstered his weapon on his right shoulder.

Night had fallen over New Salem, most of the city's inhabitants were peacefully asleep in their homes, a few others were awake, either because their biology made them nocturnal or for other reasons.
A gargoyle-type monster was doing its surveillance rounds. After the events that occurred during the afternoon of the previous day, the Maul was forced to close indefinitely until all the damage could be repaired, and the security guard had to ensure that no opportunists appeared during the night to loot the stores.
The monster walked around, the glow of the moon filtered through the shattered glass dome and reflected on the cyan-colored crystals that were kept in place. He wondered mentally about its origin, but upon hearing a metallic sound he quickly turned in its direction.
Using the flashlight, he possessed, he illuminated the surroundings, then saw a figure move inside a store.
His brow furrowed at that and he advanced towards the place.
This shop was something that Coffin Bean.
He peeked through the doorway and lit up the interior, but saw nothing.
The monster advanced silently and made sure to keep his ears and eyes wide open in case that silhouette reappeared.
The sound of a glass falling soil was heard and quickly turned, only to find a small and very strange creature, this may mean little more than two feet high, had a green dress with lines zigzagging color black, also own a very strange thing in its chest, it was an object of silvery color with an hourglass green symbol. The creature had blue, troll-like hair and a pair of small, fairy-like wings on its back.
The little being looked up at him with its bright green eyes and the monster relaxed its expression. It wasn't a thief, it was just a… fairy?
He decided not to scare the little being, and crouched down at its height.
-Hi little girl, what are you doing in here? You're not stealing anything right? - He asked kindly and the little entity shook her head. - Are you lost? - He questioned.
The little being looked at him and then looked around.
Its wings flapped momentarily and then she purred.
"You are an adorable little thing, right? "
The little being nodded and then motioned for him to come closer. The gargoyle did. Again she signaled for him to come even closer and again, he did. And consequently, a strange green sparkling powder was thrown at his face.
"Uh ..." the little monster saw the gargoyle fall at her feet, totally asleep.
"Who the hell you-urrr calling girl?! " Her voice was sharp, feminine and vibrant, then complaining gave him a kick in the face, although it was counterproductive since she hurt her foot. "Ouch, ouch, ouch! " She cried while holding her little foot. " Rock skin, of cou-urrrr-se. "
Her wings flapped and lifted her into the air, wasting no time, she headed outside the Coffin Bean and surveyed the surroundings.
"We did a lot of damage purrr. " she commented to herself. "How lucky that I can fix it purrr easily and quickly! "
The little being hit the dial that was on her outfit and her body glowed green for a second.
The flash was powerful enough to cover the entire area and when it stopped, there were no longer any traces of the little being, instead, its place had been taken by a rather unique humanoid. His body was black and covered in white dots, the palms of his hands were immaculate white, it almost seemed that a piece of the night sky had taken the shape of a human. Three horn-like appendages adorned his forehead, along with a pair of bright green eyes. On his chest rested the same dial that the little being possessed.
This new entity looked around for a second and then reached out a hand and made circled in the air.
This circle slowly fell to the ground. When it came into contact with that surface, it created a small shock wave that traveled through the entire building.
As if time began to rewind, everything around him began to be rebuilt, the crystals began to disappear into the depths of the earth, and any damage that had been caused disappeared.
The mysterious being proudly observed his work and was ready to leave, but something stopped him.
"Ben ... we need to talk"
He heard a disembodied female voice say.
"Serena? " He questioned confused. " I thought that you and Belicus were going to argue for eternity or something like that. "
Hearing a groan, the strange celestial being turned and looked in the direction of the Coffin Bean, he could see how that gargoyle that he had sent to sleep moments before began to get up, apparently the effect of the dust had ended quite quickly.
"Ben, it's urgent. It's about the power of Alien X. "
said the voice.
That sentence made the entity widen his eyes in surprise, but it quickly changed his expression to a more serious one.
Not wishing to be discovered by that gargoyle, the celestial entity snapped his fingers and disappeared, almost as he had never been there.
Moments later, the security guard was able to stand up once more.
"What happened ..." he whispered to himself while holding his head, it was then that he realized that the Coffin Bean was in perfect condition. "What the ... " the monster looked around the place, his eyes widened in amazement when he realized that everything outside had also been repaired.
Wasting no time, he came out, he wanted to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
He had to rub his eyes several times just to confirm that he wasn't hallucinating.
The entire Maul had been repaired.

Almost eleven thousand views, you have no idea how I excited when I saw that, it was incredible.
But leaving that aside, our Smoothie-loving Hero is finally back in the game.
Another thing, when I was reading all the comments, one, in particular, caught my attention, this one asked about whether the story was going to include elements of Ever After High. Should I do it? I mean, it shares a universe with Monster High and I think the story could take an interesting turn. Maybe I will, but not yet.
And I clarify something when the "hybrids" are mentioned, reference is made to the following ...
"The alien DNA is" injected "into the wearer, which means that it retains the wearer's personality, memories, and mind. Because of this, most of the transformations are not full-fledged aliens, but hybrids with a small portion of the user's DNA. However, there are exceptions, such as Ectonurite DNA and Conductoid DNA. "
- from Ben 10 wiki.
When Upgrade's hybrid DNA is mentioned, it refers to that small part of Ben's DNA that remains as the genetic basis.
And as I told you, Pesky Dust is broken, whenever something can dream, it matters little if it is a cosmic entity, that demonic fairy can use her dust and put you to sleep. Pesky Dust doesn't rule the world because Ben doesn't realize her true potential. By the way, if Nemuina Powder is received for a certain period, you will no longer be able to wake up.
And yes, Pesky Dust is a She, the Nemuina are all female, apparently and I don't think Ben knows this. Something like what happened with Big Chill, and the time of its reproduction.
by the way, the next 2 maybe 3 chapters? They will be from the world, that is, again the action will take a back seat, there will be some scenes of Ben acting but nothing great. I want to place our hero credibly in Monster High, I have some ideas and in theory chapter 10 is already finished, but I have to go over it. It is time to explain.
Oh, and Alien X is a big plot hole here, so I had to use the creator's "word of God" to find a credible excuse for that guy not to snap his fingers and make Ben go home. The mystery woman has nothing to do with her and she is here because: Spoilers.
One last thing, that song, gave an extra to the scene, right?
