One morning within within a barren wasteland full of broken-down machines and pollution the Frightzone, within its wall a technician/scientist of the Entrapta working on something for the Horde

Entrapta is it done yet? "Catra asked"

Yeah it's almost done, I about to make First One weapons that is not a robot "Entrapta Answered"

Good because this could help destroy the Rebellion, Adora and that Ben Tennyson and his Ultimatrix "Adora said"

Meanwhile at the Rusbucket 3

Morning Kev "Ben Greeted Kevin"

Morning Tennyson "Kevin Replied"

So you finally finish fixing the car again "Ben observed"

Yeah I just use metals from those sphere bots to replace does permanently destroy metal from my car "Kevin said"

Btw hows it going with the security bot Kev?"Ben asked"

Not good I've been trying to build one all week "Kevin answered

We only have Gwen's Sensor spell as a security so far but yet you haven't done much so far Kev."Ben stated"

I've trying for week, The first one malfunction and tries to destroy us and destroy my car, the 2nd just suddenly self destruct after I finish building it and destroy 1/4 of my car, the 3rd one just tries to destroy our ship and also destroyed my car and it's literally getting old now "Kevin stated"

Ok I think we should take a break from building security and try fixing the ship "Ben suggest"

Yeah I think we should and to keep my car from getting destroyed "Kevin replied"

Where's Gwen by the way? "Ben asked"

She's just hanging out with the princesses for girl time or whatever "Kevin answered"

Hmm, okay let's start fixing the left wing "Ben suggested"

Meanwhile at Brightmoon

The Princesses along with Gwen are laughing

Did that really happened "Glimmer asked"

Yeah he cares about his car and Kevin told me to treat a car like you treat a woman like seriously I am a woman and he lectures me about it "Gwen said"

I feel ya, me and sea hawk used to date but ruin it with his antics and one time we got kick in a dolphin social for challenging a doorman to a duel. "Mermista said"

Btw you and Ben are cousin right? "Perfuma asked"

Yeah we are "Gwen answered"

What was he like when he was young? "Perfuman asked"

He was very cocky, childish and arrogant "Gwen answered"

What? "Everyone is surprised"

Yeah when we were 10 we use to hate each other and we always bicker about everything, once we has an argument that made us not talk with each other for 2 months and once he used the omnitrix when I got better at a game that he played for a while "Gwen said which made everyone laugh"

One question when did Ben get the Ultimatrix or the Omnitrix or something "Glimmer asked"

He had he's Omnitrix when he was 10 during a summer vacation and used it for good " Gwen said"

Wait so Ben had the Ultimatrix at 10?"Frosta asked"

Actually it's Omnitrix but replace it with the Ultimatrix once it was destroyed."Gwen answered"

Ok and what else does Ben do"Bow said"

Other than than Ben brags about saving the universe for like a thousand times "Gwen stated"

Wait Ben saved his entire universe? "Bow asked"

Yeah and don't encourage him about it "Gwen demanded"

Btw what was it like in your homeworld? "Glimmer asked"

Oh it's fine and not so peaceful since we fought bad guys and villains everytime "Gwen said"

Oh really? "Bow asked?"

Not only bad guys but we even have to fend off from Ben's fans in public "Gwen said"

Ben has fans?"Glimmer asked"

Yeah ever since his identity was revealed to the world by his number 1 fun we are unable to out in public without fans chasing after him "Gwen said"

Well that is horrible "Bow said"

It is "Gwen replied" "

Btw Gwen when did you learn your magic? We never seen it before. "Glimmer asked

I learn it after i stole it from a villain name Charmcaster and some of them arent even magic its actually part of my alien abilities "Gwen answered"

Wait your an alien? "Bow asked"

Part alien, it comes from our grandmother "Gwen answered"

Btw why Ben never took the Ultimatrix off would'nt it make his wrist uncomfortable by now? "Bow asked"

Well the Ultimatrix is attach to his hand but he can take it off but never does and he said the Omnitrix or Ultimatrix is like part of his hand and sometimes doesnt notice it's in his hands "Gwen answered" Well i better head back to the ship it was fun.

See ya "All of them said there goodbyes"

Back at the Rustbucket

Ben transform into a somewhat humanoid dinosaur standing about twelve feet tall with hard skin that is colored brown on its outer side and beige on its inner side named Humungousaurs to lift the left wing for Kevin fix something underneath

Kevin how's it going in there "Humungousaurs said"

I'm good here Tennyson no need to worry "Kevin said"

Hey Kevin "Humungousaurs calls out for Kevin

What is it Tennyson? "Kevin asked"

Do you wonder when will we ever get home? "Humungousaurs asked"

No "Kevin replied"

Do you think everybody will be okay while we're here? "Humungousaurs asked"

Yeah, I hope "Kevin answered"

I was kinda expecting for Professor Paradox to come out of nowhere "Humungousaurs admitted"

Paradox? Almost forgot about him "Kevin said" And done okay i'm done here "Kevin reported"

Then Kevin got out and Humungousaurs transform back into Ben

So whats next on the list? "Ben asked"

Whats next is we fix the landing gears, so we can finally fly this thing. "Kevin answered"

Alright where do we start? "Ben asked"

We start by taking a break, im beat. "Kevin answered"

Seems good to me. "Ben replied then they enter the ship to rest."

Hey guys what are you doing? "Gwen arrived"

We're about to take a break from fixing the ship's left wing. "Ben answered"

Here I got some fruits "Kevin offers them"

So we still don't have security? "Gwen asked"

No not yet "Ben answered"

Why do we even need security, we can just beat them easily and why would they take our stuff from our ship now if we destroy 3 of there First One bots or whatever that the princesses said it was strong "Kevin stated"

But Kevin we must take extra precautions. We must not underestimate our enemies "Gwen replied

Shes right Kevin we must take extra perca-"Ben was cut off"

Wait! someone entered the ship. "Gwen warned Kevin and Ben"

From where? "Kevin asked while absorbing metal from his car"

From the shuttles "Gwen answered"

Where are they? "Ben asked"

You sure your magic doesn't sense insects Gwen? "Kevin asked"

No it doesn't. 3 people have entered the ship, gimme a sec im gonna sense there where abouts "Gwen said"

Ben then activate and transform into Diamondhead a silicon shape humandiod crystal with purple crystal in his lowerbody, torso and his head and has 6 shards on his back

Ok where are they? "Diamondhead asked"

Then few seconds silence came until

Over there! "Gwen shouted"

Ben then clenched both his fist and pointed it at the direction Gwen pointed and start shooting crystals shards at it and 3 of the unknown trespassers start to appear and dodges Diamondheads shard

Wait there where cloaking "Kevin observed"

The first charges at Kevin, the second started shooting blaster from his wrist at Gwen and the third one unleash a charged blade from the posterior forearm armor and charges at Ben from Kevin's fight he is dodging punches from the his attacker who looks like a lizard and the tallest and more muscular from the others, Gwen is fighting the shortest and the least strong of the group and Ben is fighting a Agile, fast and strong fighter of the group which she could be the leader of the group

This guys are tought "Kevin stated while dodging attacks"

There blasters are breaking my shields in one shot "Gwen stated while making shields"

And this punk is fast at dodging my attack "Diamond head stated"

Then the leader of the group kicked Diamondhead and was knock back into Kevin's car

Again with the car? "Kevin groan and was punch by the lizard guy"

Ben then slammed the Ultimatrix dial and transform into a Goop is a humanoid pile of goop. He has an amoeba-like shape and a nose-like beak. He has an Anti-Gravity Projector that allows him to be mobile on planets with stronger gravity. The Ultimatrix is on the Anti-Gravity Projector.

Goop! "Ben yelled"

Then Goop strangle around the leader but an electric charge surrounds the armor which hurts Goop and which he then unstrangle her at gwen part she is still blocking the attacks until the blaster is out of charge which then Gwen grab him with and throws him at the lizards meanwhile at Ben he is struggling until he then slammed the dial and transform into a blue jellyfish-like alien with white swipes on his body resembling lightning streaks, a main body with three-segmented skirt-like parts for his head, chest and abdomen, and six long tentacles that function as two pairs of arms and a pair of legs.

AmpFibian! "Ben yelled"

Then he flew behind the leader then curl his arms infront of her then absorbs energy that comes from the armor which she was defeated then Ben, Kevin and Gwen regroup while they started retreating after they ran into the woods Ben then transform back into human

Well that was a tough fight "Ben stated"

Yeah they even wreck my car "Kevin shouted"

Don't worry we can fix it again "Gwen is comforting Kevin"

i think we should report this to the princesses."Ben suggested"

Yeah we really have to "Gwen replied"

Hope my car is safe. "Kevin said before heading to Brightmoon"

Meanwhile at the Brightmoon War room

Alright we have an emergency meeting to discuss, Swift wind report."Angella said"

The Horde has taken more land out east in a fast coordinated attack. some of our troops stated that the Horde had new weapons on their arsenal "Swift wind reported"

So they have a more advance bot now "Bow said"

No they said is not a bot but new weapons and armor "Swift wind stated

What? So they have upgraded their armor? "Adora asked"

Probably, because only one troop saw it "Swift wind answered"

Then Ben, Gwen and Kevin barge in

Your majesty we have bad news "Ben reported"

What is it "Angella asked"

The Horde has new technological weapons. They can cloak, shoot blasters from here wrist and has a charged blade coming from there armor "Kevin reported"

Well theres the proof we need "Swift wind said"

Well this is really bad news "Adora said"

Wait is that a talking horse? "Kevin asked"

Meanwhile at the Frightzone

So you failed your mission "Catra stated"

Catra we managed to fight them of until Kyle messed it up "Lonnie reported"

I told you my wrist blaster run out of energy "Kyle is making excuses"

Alright don't worry the Energy Armor manage to hold them off and made Ben Tennyson transform into 3 aliens in one battle now dismiss.

Catra then went to Entrapta's lab

Hey Entrapta I taught the armor is good as you say? "Catra asked Entrapta"

But it is, it can increase your strength, speed and can repair itself, it even has weapons on the armor "Entrapta stated"

But why it can run out of energy? "Catra asked"

You told me to power the armor without using too much first one's tech so i made a First tech powered Armor but it has limited energy so i made this Recharging station for it to power up again and this recharging station is powered by the First One's tech which it then uses its energy to charge the armor "Entrapta Explained"

So your saying it has limited amount of energy? "Catra Asked"

Yes but don't worry this are just the prototypes, im still working on its armor energy duration "Entrapa stated"

Hmm okay i will let you do your thing, I'll go continue planning for the next attack.

Back at Brightmoon

Alright what we have know so far about there new tech is that its made out of First One's Tech "Kevin explained"

Yeah we already know that like a minute ago "Mermista said"

Yeah and this armor has 2 weapons so far, it has blade charged with some sort of energy that was probably from the First One's tech that comes out of the foremarm armor and has blaster in its left wrists "Kevin explained"

So what are you suggesting "Angella asked"

I suggest we should make our own tech that can fight against them "Kevin answered

So what kind of tech will it be? "Bow askes in Enthusiasm "

I haven't got that part done "Kevin answered"

Wait so your telling us the plan which is not yet finish? "Adora asked"

Hey we just got here when we were attacked by 3 of them and we didnt have enough time to think that far "Kevin explained"

But I discovered the weakness of the armor "Ben said When i turn into on of my aliens AmpFibian I absorb the energy of the armor which she got weakened and the time when Gwen block the blaster attacks from one of them but stopped after a many shots from it."Ben explained"

So your saying the armor has limited amount of energy? "Bow asked"

Yes it does. "Ben answered"

Btw why dont we you make another Ultimatrix so we can fight the horde? "Bow asked"

Have the title convinced you we cant make another one "Ben answered

And if you did make another Ultimatrix your just making it worst for yourself "Kevin explained"

What do you mean? "Bow asked"

Since Ben was the first wielder of the Omnitrix or Ultimatrix then every Ultimatrix or Omnitrix copy you made will already has Ben DNA at default and if you try using it there is a slight possibility your appearance will turn into Ben's "Kevin explained"

And even so the Omnitrix is not easy making and this Ultimatrix is not even properly made "Ben said"

Wait what do you mean? "Adora asked"

Actually the Ultimatrix was made by Azmuth the creator of the Omnitrix, but stated it was unstable but then his Albedo his assistance became evil and try to kill us then complete building the Ultimatrix after stealing it, but even so Azmuth says its an inferior copy and it has bad workmanship "Ben explained"

So that is why we have to plan on working on something that can fight against them or help with battle "Kevin said"

Why don't we make our own bots that can fight the horde? "Bow suggested"

Well that could be a good idea but I already try making one 3 times which ended up a failure because i couldn't understand the first one tech that much"Kevin stated"

I can help "Bow volunteer"

You understand First One's tech? "Kevin asked"

A little but i can help with build the bot. "Bow answered"

Okay fine you can help, as long as you don't make it any worst "Kevin replied"

Don't worry you can count on me "Bow said"

Then a soldier barged in

Queen Angela the Horde is attacking the Whispering woods and Thaymor."The Soldier reported"

Alright we must head out now "Adora said"

Got it. "Ben replied"

The group decided to split up Ben, Bow, Glimmer and Frosta heads to Thaymor while Adora, Gwen, Kevin, Pefuma and Mermista headed to Whispering woods

At Ben's POV at Thaymor

When they arrived they fire on buildings and civilians crying for help while the Horde are attacking

Bow, Glimmer you go hold off the Horde, Frosta you help the citizen i'll come right after "Ben planned" then they started going of when Ben activated and slammed his Ultimatrix and transform into a humanoid, moth-like alien whose four wings and antenna can fold up into a hooded robe (much akin to a poncho), giving him the appearance of a phantom. He has a black body with cyan patches on his arms, shoulders, legs, the back of his wings, and the back of his neck that resemble ice chunks. Each patch has thick blue outlining except for the ones on his wings, which are outlined in black. There is also a black line that runs on the edge of the outer margin on the back of each wing.

Big Chill! "Ben yelled out in a soft voice"

Ben them flew above the buildings then he inhale then exhaled a freezing air towards flaming buildings to save civilians then someone shoot at him which he fell to the ground.

Ow where the heck did it come from? "Big Chill wondered"then he heard someone laughing"

Well well well, look you who it is, the shape shifter Ben Tennyson. "Catra said"

Leave this people alone. "Big Chill yelled in anger while looking for Catra is at"

Oh I will if your little rebellion surrender and even for your Ultimatrix. "Catra said"

Meanwhile at whispering woods

Gwen, Kevin, Adora, Perfuma and Mermista are struggling fighting off bots along fighting with the same 3 people who attack them from the ship

This guys again "Kevin in a metal coated body yelled while fighting the same lizard"

When will they ever give up? "Gwen rhetorically asked while blocking blasters from the same guy"

While at Adora shes fighting 3 Horde soldiers with the advance armor" while Perfuma and Mermista are fighting the Bots

Seriously how many more bots are there? "Mermista asked"

Dont worry friends we got this "Perfuma said"

Kevin then dodge an attack from the lizard then Kevin turned his armed hand into a hammer then hit him then was knock back into the tree while at Gwen she was blocking one attack then a bot started targeting her then she block 2 sides with her mana then when one her shields got shot by the same guy then she retaliate by throwing mana disk at him blastwr which then damage then he grabbed him with her mana then smash him towards the bot that attacked her then Kevin and Gwen go to focused on helping Perfuma and Mermista

Back at Thaymor

Ben looking around his surroundings looking for Catra while she is taunting at him

You think your tough because you have some sort of device at your hand that can turn you into monsters "Catra taunting him"

Says the cat who's hiding in a fight. "Ben said back at him"

"Then Catra laugh at him and said"your nothing with that watch "then he jump towards him then Big Chill turns intangible then Catra Go through at him then before she turns around Big Chill turns tangible and flew a few inch backwards and then breaths freezing air at him and her hand froze which it fell on the ground then Big Chill then flew backwards above her then breaths freezing air at her then Big Chill then flew at the burning buildings to freeze the fire then Catra free herself from the ice then start shooting at Big Chill then he started dodging the blaster's laser which then Frosta, Bow, and Glimmer came to aid Big Chill and distract Catra, Big Chill then still tries to stop the flames but still spreads

This flame keeps spreading time to go Ultimate "Big Chill said yelled out" then he slammed his Ultimatrix symbol on his chest evolve then Big Chill's skin is recolored red, his wings and antennae have a flame design, and he had crests over his eyes with the same design.

Ultimate Big chill! "Big chill yelled"

Heh changing color wont stop the fire Tennyson "Catra taunting him"

Ben then starts exhaling fire towards the building.

Ben what are you doing! Don't take fighting fire with fire that literally. "Bow yelled"

Then the fire Ultimate Big Chill exhales turned to ice, Bow, Glimmer, Frosta even Catra was shock with his ability

Fire that turned to ice! Thats imposible "Bow stated"

Seriously he can turn fire to ice what else does he can do "Catra think to herself" due to the distraction she then equip a charge blade then fling towards Glimmer which Bow kicked her away from her, Ultimate Big Chill then landed on the ground and folded his wings to turn it into a cloak.

Now Catra whats your next move. "Ultimate Big Chill wondered"

Catra then cloak herself into invisible.

Oh hiding wont help kitty. "Ben said and Unfolded his wing and slammed his Ultimatrix and transform into Wildmutt a large orange dog with no eyes, ears, nose, or tail. His posture and movements are also somewhat apelike. His teeth are very defined and stick out of his mouth. The various spines found all across his body function similarly to whiskers with tactile sensing which are not fur and he uses his sense of smell and hearing to navigate, which are aided by three gill-like nostrils located on each side of his neck. Then he Growled

How will this help will it help if it has no eyes "Bow asked" but in response he. Only growls

I think he can't talk. "Glimmer stated"

So what will it do? "Frosta asked"

Wildmutt then start smelling around then senses soemone behind of Glimmer which he jump towards it which it was Catra when ben was biting her arm.

Get of me mutt? "Catra yelled"

But Ben keeps grabing her arm by bitting her arm which she then kick him off. Catra ordered a retreat then every Horde troop even in the whispering woods started to retreat. After the retreat they all started to regroup in Thymor. Wildmutt slammed the Ultimatrix and transform back into Ben.

Well there attack failed and we manage to save the civilian. "Ben stated"

Well that fight was tiring. "Bow said"

So thats why we need something that help us fight the horde, well starting tomorrow we make those bots. Bow you go grab some metal and tech from those ball bots "Kevin said"

Ok "Bow replied"

Guys we better be more vigilant since they have tech that can cloak they probably sneak in and spy at us. "Glimmer said"

Glimmer's right we must plan about it "Adora said"

Hey Gwen can you do that sensor magic and cast it on the castle"

I can but it will take a lot of mana and time to do "Gwen replied"

Alright each 2 hour we scout around the kingdom to checked for any spies "Glimmer planned"

Ok lets head to back to Brightmoon to report the situation "Ben said"

At the Frightzone

You failed yet again Force Captain. "Hordak said"

Don't worry it was just one little defeat but the Horde are still on a better spot "Catra stated"

Was squandering our advantage while Whispering Woods regrow part of your plan? "Hordak asked" then Hordak turned around and head to the lever" Was getting yourself captured part of the plan? "Hordak then pulled the lever" Was letting yourself get beaten by Tennyson part of it? "Hordak asked" Catra started to caugh

Etheria's atmosphere has proven to be a complicated variable to my experiments "Hordak stated"

I "Catra continue to cough"

I just removed that variable. "Hordak said" Tell me Force Captain, hows your breathing? "Hordak asked"

Catra starts to wheeze and her vision gets blurry

Pathetic just like everything on this backwards planet "Hordak said" You know what the definition of failure is, Force Captain? "Hordak asked then push the lever"

Catra then starts to breath properly

Failure is when something cease to serve a purpose when that happens, it becomes worthless to me. Thus far, your performance has been lacking."Hordak said"

I haven't failed yet. No one knows how to take the princesses down better than me. Trust me and let me do that "Catra said"

You say you can defeat the Rebellion and that boy Tennyson? Prove it. You are dismissed."Hordak said"

The End

Next time on the next Chapter...
