Chapter 4

Hunted

Ben prime and the rest flew in the Tardis as The Doctor fiddled with the controls, it was a sudden sense of peace after Alpha destroyed their dimension. The Doctor was staring at something from the readings he got off his screw driver.

It was interesting, both the wearers and well as the technology, it seemed powerful then it's size would say. The Doctor wondered who had the ability to make such a device as well as making it able to hold omnipotent DNA.

" By chance do you know the creator of who made this?"

"That would be me?" a voice called Man appeared in a portal, The Doctor looked seeing a white lab coat, goggles hanging around the man's neck, both surprised and curious.

"Now that is a surprise." The Doctor grabbing his screw driver, out as Ben prime scoffed at the arrival of a man with a cane, a metal arm, some type of old century clothing, with goggles hanging around his neck.

"Oh Paradox, great timing. always late." Ben prime scoffed at Paradox looked at the defeated group, The Doctor looked at the visitor, amazed him, the defenses should repel any foreign object or person yet he was able to appear in the Tardis.

"Oh hello there, I'm the Doctor...and Paradox is the name Ben says, you seem interesting. Almost impossible to pass through the defenses of the Tardis and you seem to be the creator of the omnitrix you say?"

"Oh yes, hello there, and nice to meet you, yes I am paradox but the creator is-."

"Azmuth." a voice called out as The Doctor looked at Paradox intrigued as well little confused as he looked to where the voice was coming.

"And as well the one who broke through your defenses-."

"Would be me." Azmuth finishing Paradox's sentence, while getting the attention of The Doctor as he had Paradox hold up to eye level.

"The defense is unique but quite weak when you reverse it on itself making a trojan effect, doesn't hurt the shield but makes it easy for us to slip in."

The Doctor felt a leap in his throat, cackling with these events happening he expected to be the only one to understand the physics and how things are working but meeting these was exciting, he turned his attention back to Azmuth.

"Oh I guess I need to upgrade the defenses if you're that good at breaking the shield and just to walk pass the dimensional barrier like it was nothing." The Doctor started going off about things, who they were, how they were able to get through the dimensional barriers so easily and wanting to exchange many ideas about devices and such but Azmuth stopped him.

"I think we need to get back to the main topic; how are going to fix this?"

Azmuth directing the attention onto Ben prime, Azmuth explain that something is happening to their dimension and Ben prime is at the center.

"Oh yes, by chance do you know where to start since I am lost for words of how human technology could be created this advance."

Azmuth nodded as the "Alpha" creature did something to the fail safe that he made if he were ever to turn evil or someone takes over his body. But it seemed that they were broken with ease.

"I made a safe switches at my own lab, but with how quick our reality was changing the only thing I could bring was this small lab and I was field testing a humidifier at the time so only have the tool box I have with me and with a little-."

"But what does that have to do with the lad?" The Doctor cutting in before Azmuth could finish. "I was about to get there; now with the little information I was given by Paradox, this thing "Alpha" has done something to both Tennysons it seems." The Doctor nodded listening to Azmuth who came conclusion that Alpha is not done with them, The Doctor nodded while remembering the scans he had from fixing the omnitrix and directed them to the scans he had earlier.

"To explain it is kinda difficult since this is not only foreign technology, it's also human technology which is impossible for our dimension but from these readings I got from this "omnitrix" you call, that is what I got from the tiny microbots? no...mmh Nanites!?" The Doctor whooped as he looked around, scowls appeared the Doctor getting the message he coughed uncomfortable as he was supposed to be loathing with them.

The Doctor realizing how insensitive to the others, Azmuth continued confused on the nature of The Doctor's personality.

"I am not sure but it seems when he tore apart by this creature of Alien X I heard from Paradox, though that is a theory at best, but this is the second time something like this happen, but we have dealt with that technovore, but it seems this creature had a understanding of the omnitrix. Something that I fear, and with the were "Prime" Tennyson went through a small psychological break when Alpha messed with the device."

Paradox interjected his thoughts explaining each dimension would of course have different speeds in time line so call him prime might not be the right way to but it seemed he is the closest to being at the root of their dimensions.

"Yes very much, which is to be expected since this is a younger Ben in between the cycle of war between the forever knights which would explain his younger look. I've watched the young Tennyson and none has such a habit of holding himself to act brave as like the period of his time fighting the forever knights."

Though The Doctor maybe the master of time, he terrible at remembering which and when he's supposed to arrive at a fix time. The Doctor raised a hand asking Paradox how does he know this is Ben is not after or taking a different turning point in his life like the other one.

Paradox explained his early childhood; Ben grew up being hunted down and almost lost his family when his Grandfather ended up in the hospital. though they maybe look the same how they grew up but it is clearly different from each other are their experiences. Paradox mentioned the fight between, Ben changes DNA when transforming. But what about personalities.

"While one coped with jokes and jives to keep his pain hidden which resulted in him keeping his ten year old immaturity, Ben prime grew up. Taking the opportunity taking on the responsibility of the world's defender and fighting Alpha, I suggest he was like a carrier. Then the transformed the first time whatever alien he chose must of imprinted part of them inside of Ben's psyche and with an already damaged watch, it not surprise to see him change."

Paradox also mentioned that he had friends to hold onto, to keep him moving forwards, he pride himself with his friends and saving people and when all things were lost, Paradox mentioned his family but now that he is torn from them and killed them in one dimension.

"Without that I sense Ben feels unworthy of returning and feels responsible for the lost of lives in the and is dwelling on the failure of his own mistake."

The three turned seeing the two; Ben prime sat with Looma sitting next to him, in silence as she mourned her race as Rook stood silent processing things.

While Other Ben; who's mind was snapped after losing the tearing of Alien X in both omnitrix, set down repeating; "It's hero time."

Paradox excused himself, setting Azmuth on the control panels.

It raised many questions; like how will they recover, will returning Ben prime be the best option? and with each of their interaction with Alpha at the last moments could Alpha follow with him turning into a literal god.

Azmuth looked up at the scans on Ben prime seeing particles from Alpha that concern especially if they might have their own effects that could endanger the other dimensions.

The Doctor looked down realizing how much danger his Dimension was in, and as the guardian of his time and reality, he wanted to help them but if it was put his dimensional timeline in danger then he was thinking of cutting them off.

The Doctor looked at the residual of Alpha and Alien X still left inside it Ben prime, The Doctor asked if they had a plan on getting Ben prime to his Dimension, Because having Ben here is like a bomb waiting to go off. The Doctor maybe willing to help them, but refuses to let his dimension and his timeline die because of harboring the very thing that could destroy and slaughter all the people he swore to protect.

Azmuth looked down and sighed, the toll of the travel, the reality of things, the deaths of his people, lost of his pride all was wearing Azmuth, his prize creation was easily used against them, it made Azmuth second guess himself of being the smartest being in six galaxies and as well qualifying to build another omnitrix.

"Right, beside being able effect the device on the boys wrist it's seems this creature has affect on the mind, do I have the right to set a timer to execute any dimensions that he walks to get to his own, and send him to his Dimension and have Alpha find him and kill him and his family." Azmuth held his head, he turned seeing the other Ben unconscious by Paradox set him to sleep to help him mentally recover a bit.

"Well it not good to consider it, but I need him off my ship and out of my dimension, it may sound selfish but if it kills another dimension for the safety of my own, I will not hesitate on choosing my dimension's safety of the lives of others."

Azmuth nodded, while it seemed after Alpha took ahold of both Bens, something happened during that split moments in Alien X's Minds, the danger of uncertainty is to great that it made Azmuth hesitate, from Malware easily able to hack the watch and tear apart Feedback, Azmuth through his pride simply thought he could stay ahead of everyone but it seemed that earth technology bested him, making Ben a danger to anyone around him and to the dimension he walks through.

"Besides the residue left in, do you have a guess of how he was able to break free through your security?" The Doctor asked.

"Well it's a simple biometric scan and DNA switch, it takes the wear's DNA and using the omnitrix as a medium, to switch out the DNA like changing clothes but DNA, the wear must've made a window when changing and he was able to take it and push his way out." The Doctor nodded, he realized how he was able to break out; Alpha forced the change but instead of Ben wearing him, He wore Ben's DNA, like borrowing a suit out which Azmuth realized that this has happened before.

This maybe the Ultimatrix, but it was based on his design, which in a sense like Ben, Azmuth contributed in executing their home.

"now that would explain some things I said, since there was something odd. It seems to be the creature known as: Alpha was able to use the biometrics system of the transformation, which explains how it got out, but why would he leave bits and pieces of him in Ben?" The Doctor holding his screen Scanning above Looma and Ben prime who had looked like Xanites; a merging of Alien X's DNA and Alpha's nanite body left inside of Ben prime, which were remnant of Alpha and they seemed very much active.

It started to worry The Doctor as Azmuth wondered who had the ability to make such a strong creature out technology this advance with the ability to use the wearer as a way to pull itself out of the DNA stream without the knowledge of the host.

"I am the...creator of the omintrix…yet such destruction, so many lives, I never...in my dreams, would see someone...that based on my creation...that one of my students..." Azmuth took a moment as his emotions, his pride, all shattered, realizing how much trouble it drew, painting a picture out of blood, he started to think this was a mistake to even make it.

The Doctor realizing how much this was hurting everyone, The Doctor can feel the sense of sorrow and anger from them but consoling them was a bit hard but he did his best with Azmuth.

"Things happen out of your control even if you're the creator, sometimes people grow selfish and power hungry, or they want to best you out of self interest and pride, you made this for good but someone copied it and used it for evil."

The Doctor stopped seeing how much pain he was feeling from his creation, realizing Azmuth felt like he was a contributor to the fall of their dimension.

It was a pain that felt like a boulder, both Ben prime and Azmuth have felt, The creator as the fuel, while Ben felt like the fire that ignited the flame that burned this dimension to the ground.

The Doctor though a stranger, looked up seeing Ben prim and Azmuth both self reflecting on their choices and he could see the same faces he had after the death of his home world; these people knew what it felt like to at least lose people as well as a planet.

"This might come off bad, hehe." The Doctor chuckled, coughing continuing his console, trying to make out the words from stinging to much.

"But I know the feeling and even with the best of intentions to end the bad it is never wrong to have guilt, but it's what we do, no matter how many times you want to turn back time, sometimes-sometimes, your best intentions turn out to be the thing that kills people, after seeing so much violence and death you thought "I want to stop this" and like I did we did what we was right, but the result not what we wanted." Azmuth chuckled wondering what he's been through to sound like an expert.

Azmuth looked up seeing Ben prime and wondering if that what Ben prime was feeling as well; Guilt, shame, failure all felt like stabbing pains of knives that will never go away.

Azmuth looked up, he knew that sulking wouldn't do anything especially as the universe greatest mind and tried thinking on how to fix the omnitrix to at least give Ben primes a way to fight his way back home.

But Azmuth wondered how Ben prime react, giving back the same weapon that could kill another dimension if another technopath, or a technovore or another person technologically advanced.

Azmuth was discussing what new features he should add when Rook stepped in, with eyes stressed from the reality of things; Rook always respected Azmuth's choice on his prized creation.

But Rook had to step in, putting his foot down for this, he had enough of Ben's immaturity.

"Master Azmuth, I respect the things you have done for our universe willing to give yourself to help people, promoting peace though this...this is where the line is drawn." Azmuth looked at Rook, he had every right to be angry, with how long he has been stationed with Ben but it was wrong of them to give Ben prime who has a home and family, to drag him down with them despite the lost of their dimension it was the right thing to do.

"I indeed agree, though are you suggesting that we. People who know but Ben and his personality but not this Ben, a Ben; who may have destroyed our dimension but if you look from your own grief and see that he is just as guilty and feels just as bad if not more so then us, that if we ask for his blood for the of the innocent blood, he would not give it? I get you're angry, frustrated, and want someone to own up to it. But are you suggesting to abandon the young Tennyson?"

"If that is what it takes, for someone who ripped my home, my family and my goals I'll take it!" Rook scowled at him as Ben prime slammed his fist getting their attention.

"Fine!; I already caused many deaths of innocents-me! I might as well lose my freedom, lock me up let me whither up in jail for what I care, do whatever but here is something that I need? Where is the cell, you have your protogun, but I ask who are you to be judge, jury, and executioner. When I can easily read your personality, the type by the books, unable to grasp earth language, so explain to me What. Is. My. Crime."

Everyone was stressed, but Ben here was right, which angered Rook, while Azmuth tried to calm the situation before people start yelling and Ask for the help of Paradox and The Doctor on building a new watch for Ben prime. The Doctor nodded as Rook scoffed, stomping his way to another section of the tardis.

Looma tried calming Ben down, but she realized how much she had to learn to become someone special to Ben, but she pushed herself just like her father always told her, Looma brushed her hair back putting on the best smile she could and asked the Doctor if it was alright if they can look around the tardis, though Ben asked if he could leave the tardis.

It was a signal that she picked up, her arms sank down a bit as Ben walked over to The doctor.

"Do you have any money of your earth, I would like to get out of here and a new change of scenery." The Doctor looked at Looma who was sitting slumped despite her size and her front; she seemly sensitive bit of a contrast to her looks of long black hair she had, her face seem more beautiful young woman that Ben here isn't in the right state of mind of giving a care.

The Doctor looked at this troubled young Ben, he wanted to say something, but if he did, The Doctor knew it would make things much worse then what's already is on their plates.

"Yes, I do." He said exasperated at Ben's attitude, The Doctor held his hand out, Ben took the credit card as The Doctor landed, he opened the doors as Ben walking out, they were in twenty first century London, Ben noticed something off as he turned realizing how small it was on the outside.

"Before you go though Ben, take this." Ben was given a flipphone, Ben looked at the old phone; confused. The Doctor explained it's better then having nothing without contact, and if he get in trouble, he can call him and it should teleport him to the tardis.

Ben walked away leaving the phone behind while The Doctor clicked his tongue quickly using the DNA from Ben's hand to teleport into his pocket as Ben left the Tardis.

The Doctor sighed, it wasn't much but at least it might help this Ben to cool off, the Doctor turned looking at Other Ben; he stopped convulsing and looked a bit better. The rest seemed what he needed but he was still asleep.

Azmuth wondered how long before the effect of Alpha infection would grow, assuming that it is an infected with a bunch of Xanites inside Ben prime or if it's just Ben's being angry.

The Doctor turned to Azmuth as he looked at Looma; who tried comforting Ben and if Ben was going to leave to the other dimensions, it makes sense sending someone willing to get personal with him.

"Do you know of someone special to the boy? any girlfriends? close family-anyone."

The Doctor realized something that might help. Looma was with Ben prime even before the collapse, Looma was first thinking he needed comfort in more than one way; a specials bond might be the key on one problem as he traverse the dimensions.

The Doctor looked at Looma as she did her best to help Ben talk things out; all though it worked only a little before he left, Azmuth mentioned he did have someone.

"Now tell me again lads, what happen in the books. What happened at the end, was anyone there. Special to the boy, family, friends anyone that made Ben calmer?"

Azmuth repeating to the The Doctor.

"The records if I recall, had Keven Levin, Gwen Tennyson and Julie Yamamoto."

"and by chance were all of these people specially close to him?" Azmuth nodded as the Doctor asked was there any more areas where he could've resorted to murder.

"Yes in another occasion when Keven Levin absorbed the ultimatrix he went insane for a short bit, Ben almost killed Kevin though Gwen Tennyson stopped him, talking him out of it." The Doctor assumed they had similar backgrounds, Azmuth mentioned that Ben had children from his Necrofriggian form Julie Yamamoto helped to relieve Ben from attack Kevin and Gwen. The Doctor nodded processing the fact Ben has children he wanted to ask how that worked but he ignored it, asked Paradox if he can help Looma.

The Doctor looked at Looma, she looked like a lot was on her mind which is understandable; The Doctor noticed though, that she seemed perplexed on something. The Doctor explained to Paradox that they need have someone to hear her thoughts, Paradox realizing what he's going for and nodded walking towards Looma as she looked up seeing Paradox.

"Oh, sorry didn't mean to intrude on your thoughts."

"Ah, that's alright-just I have been thinking maybe I should've stayed back and even if it's..." She trailed off as she held her knees to herself, she never thought this is what Ben been through before, she has fought in wars and such but they always overwhelmed them.

Looma never realized how strong Ben was, fighting gods like they were nothing, none of the Tetrawomen of her could even fight Viligax who was considered the embodiment of Chulhu after taking out a whole clan in hand to hand combat.

"Yeah, love does that to us, make us blind to features and faults that could save our lives while also sometimes you need love to see the good in people." Looma nodded, but it seemed she was just going along. The Doctor was right but Paradox felt like they needed to find a way to help both Looma and Ben prime; while Looma kept thinking that she should have took a moment on things before even taking the fight, but hearing about Ben's achievements and the fact he was able to fight and beat Viligax, the forever knights, and the Defeat them made Tetramen and Tetrawomen realize the strength that followed Ben, though some wanted to challenge him Looma forbid anyone from fighting; fearing that a Tetrawoman would be defeated and marry Ben Tennyson.

Looma always wanted a strong man both in physical qualities but also in emotional strength to help her when she's down and fighting Ben in combat was something like a little girl's dream for all Tetrawomen, but after being beaten by him it made her happy to see his was real. But she was sent shivers down her spine, at first it was a surprise that excited her, but Ben had something very different then the other people she has ever fought it. Looma knew how to judge people from her instincts being developed at a young age and felt like Ben changed, filled with hatred and through Rath embodied it.

Looma felt her stomach where Rath stabbed her, it was the first scar she ever developed from her first defeat while she always got scars, but those scars were victories. Looma has fought through many battles, many people claiming her as an object of strength, to proof their manhood against her.

Looma never had any interest with any of the Tetramen of her planet; not with how they acted. It took years before hearing the stories of Ben piqued her interest.

After their fight, Ben bit harsh though was still, something made her heart throb and from hearing the stories she still felt something and after facing off Alpha, she fell in love with him due to the strength of Ben, he was willing to protect people. Though the fight was quick, she felt useless; she couldn't even fathom how anyone could stand against something so black, void and filled with hate.

Looma may have fought people but Alpha was a different type of opponent that even if she tried, her legs would give out from her battle instincts.

"Hey Looma." She looked up, seeing the Doctor as he asked how she's been doing. Looma already was thinking about her feelings, and what happened. It was to hard to process that everything she knew was gone, her father, her friends, the planet she came from.

Everything felt like it was going to still be there if she went back.

"I...good, nothing really, after I get back home I should be fine." The Doctor looked at Looma realizing how bad his plan was on using Looma to help Ben when she herself was indeed of help.

"Oh okay, then why don't you tell Paradox all about your people and the culture as we walk to my lab." Looma nodded as she got up, picking up the unconscious Other Ben.

"Yes I do, I was about to show you the place I have to make instruments and other trinkets." The Doctor gesturing to all of them to follow while Azmuth grabbed Other Ben's omnitrix making sure he won't blow the ship up if he turns into anything and following the two. They followed The Doctor, he though wondered their plan since they are gone without a home, got him asking.

"So what is the plan, since the obvious that your dimension is gone, and they don't have a home to stay at, no home base and such."

"Well as a Galvan, I have my ways but I think the best place to stay in, is this technological wonder though if you oppose we will find another place to stay." The Doctor chuckled.

"Well I hope you don't mind going on random adventures that I get into."

"Isn't that always part of being a traveler as a time walker myself it's part of the job." The Doctor nodded as he showed them to the lab, Azmuth and Paradox noticed how much bigger this ship was with a full blown library, a pool; though they stopped as The Doctor opened a door to a giant lab.

"Interesting place." Azmuth noting the the technology as The Doctor explained it's the best on Gallifrey.

"Oh is that your home planet?" The Doctor nodded but a face of dread be filled in his eyes as Azmuth noticed it as Paradox caught on; they knew not to press the matter further from their savior.

"Well that's enough thinking of that, let's get this watch-no omintrix fix." Paradox getting things together.

Azmuth explained how the omintrix works, he figured to make a device to have the ability to change the wearer's D.N.A into other aliens, his prime usage for it was diplomatic usage to help others walk a mile in different alien shoes.

"Interesting take, but how would you pick it if you have no idea who to pick, does it have some type of A.I. unit that will interact with the user to show how?"

"No, I assumed the intelligence of our people and others should already be able to find it with the dial I use to store the alien DNA well with in reason that is while I did use icons on the dial to help." Doctor blinked wondering how that would work if you never seen anything like this.

"Anyway regardless of things, I have an idea for our couple to be. I was thinking if we have a some like a monitor on his mental stress for him while Looma, is that right young lady?" The Doctor looking up at Looma as she walked in; who was bit stuck how to process things.

The Doctor bit distracted noticing how she seemed preoccupied as Azmuth tried to explain things, The Doctor seemed to wanting to include Looma in the new design for the omnitrix

"Ah..ah..yes, I am Looma Red wind. And what is this you are doing about the watch Ben prime? Wait why are we calling him that" The Doctor realizing a short explanation was going to be need since she was carrying an alternate version of Ben.

"Seems like we're going off the books, it seems The Doctor has his own plan, but let's see how the plan goes with this." Azmuth snapping a bit at The Doctor which he nodded leading into his reason why including Looma in the omnitrix design.

"Oh yes, yes, pride-anyway First we're thinking well something like a ring with extra features, we do not know who we are dealing with. People and other creatures of other realities will come after Ben and who says this Creature Alpha, why stop at one dimension, why not all of them. But that would include Ben." Azmuth realizing what the Doctor was saying.

"I see, adding extra features say if he ever get too angry or mentally stressed, or if Looma needs help on disguising herself but with that explanation about why would Looma would go with Ben "Prime"." Looma was confused and asked for a understandable explanation and why she being involved.

"It has to do with his dimension's origin, it's not a understatement that it might take years to eons before he can find his dimension though we might be lucky, and but we are lagging behind a bit." The Doctor went on explaining that going in alone through universes and other realities he might as well bring one or two since the realities are already collapsed and if his theory is correct Ben would need allies face of the dangers of other dimensions especially after Alpha gaining the ability to traverse the dimensions.

Azmuth nodded, though Azmuth had questions on how he was going to map the way home for him. Paradox leaned in on showing his hand as he gave them a visual aid.

"When I first meet Ben's of other realities I can tell where they're from instantly with my knowledge of time and dimensions I create a path ways and markers so I can keep track of them, though I only been to the center version of our dimension. But now after the fight with Alpha and his control over half of Alien X; Bellicus. I sense that we're no long on the tree of our reality anymore that's would explain why you're Tardis was able to fly in unaffected of the erasing effect of Alpha."

Looma blinked trying to process this as Azmuth shook his head telling he is confusing the poor girl.

"Let's focus on one thing at time, and explain the dimensional physics later as we need to explain how Ben will travel and why Looma needs to go with him."

"Oh yes my bad." The Doctor going back as Paradox chuckled.

"Simply put, He needs someone to go with." Looma now realizing what they were speaking about, she somewhat grasped she might or might of been going with but with all the other speaking and talk, it made it hard to grasp. The Doctor returning the discussion on the matter at hand.

"Now Azmuth knowing you, things will go smoothly but this is a bit different from what we're used to. How long will it take for a new omnitrix to be made?"

Azmuth said it will take quite a bit since new technology is around him and he needs a moment to think of a good way to add more features and a higher security to keep Alpha and if he is going to add another version of the omnitrix and link the two together which all will take sometime since he's adding more features as well he needed the assistance of The Doctor to make a time portal to travers the timelines as well as Paradox to use any of his technology to open portals to other dimension.

"Mmh, it is a quandary, I am adding more features that theoretically can work together but adding the ability to transform into aliens will be difficult due to that things all need to align."

He assuming all the time he took for his prototype about five to seven years, in order for just for him to break the laws of reality together since dimension and time travel sound like they're hand and hand but it get's quite confusing if they're not together and for prototype to be even be workable about fifty to ninety years. Paradox looked down as their spirits started to take a hit while The Doctor just laughed as he walked over to a console.

Azmuth and Paradox looking a little confused as The Doctor pressed a button. The Room started to phase out for a second before settling in.

"There is a bit of a reason why I am called "The master of time", now if you need time, I shall give it to you." The room shifted for a second as a giant Analog Clock appeared over them as it kept turn forwards.

"Time shall move much faster here though you will not age here but we will get things done much faster. Now you said seven years for a break through so about a over a million years for a complete omnitrix?" The Doctor chuckled as he looked seeing Looma and Other Ben still here.

He almost forgot about them as Azmuth start working on their project as Looma was left helping Other Ben.

"This should help him with all that mental stuff so it should give him a good amount of time before he can recover." Looma nodded blankly as The Doctor went back as he got the shorten version of how the interworking's functioned as Looma was staring at the air.

Paradox taking a pause, keeping the slow and steady paste as he notice her empty stare.

"Oh Looma, how are you holding up?"

"Just a bit confused, everything hasn't really settled in yet, but for us; dying in battle is the most honorable thing, but my father and my whole world didn't even get a chance that I know what..." she stopped looking down.

"Many things happen in life, but that why we call it life, so what about starting a new one? You seem fixated on that?" Paradox trying his best but knowing that it was going to be hard for anyone to recover like Other Ben was.

"I-I would, but..." Looma just met Ben but after her what to happened to her dimension and it just felt empty to even chase anything right now.

"It seems you might be at a loss."

Looma agreed, feeling a thorn in her side, it felt numb like it was there but she couldn't process it. And having any spirit in anything felt empty, fruitless of moving forwards when her thoughts kept visualizing the face of her father, her mother and all of her family flashed in her head. Looma felt stifled as she held back her pain, the tears she wanted to scream.

But it was useless if she even emote, she just wanted someone to take this burden that was yoked around her throat that kept her, it kept pining her down.

Paradox knew things weren't going as time meant it and the appearance of Alpha was an interesting as it was dangerous occurrence.

Paradox looked at Looma, an itch appeared at the back of his neck making him wonder. The strength of Ben seemed to be need more then ever but will Ben be able to continue this path and how long before someone dies directly in front of Ben, and with Ben being infected and it seemly messing with his mental state it might devastate him.

Paradox wondered when will they be attacked since from just a glance Alpha holds grudges.

"Paradox, we got work and if you do not mind, I rather not have another dimension die because of a mistake I made again." Paradox got up, walking over to Azmuth; he returned to his work, refocusing his laser like concentration on building this omnitrix with all the technology around him he could make it better, but his focus was cut off after a small rumble, it took a moment. The Doctor paused as Looma felt dread appearing. It started again, but must stronger, feeling the shaking.

"Was that?" Looma getting up as The Doctor nodded explained it was their little friend trying to follow through the cracks.

"How long before he rips it open? The Doctor running out the door, Azmuth interjecting as The Doctor left to the console, explaining that it could go from any second to any minute; this machine has no real pattern, Paradox mentioning that it's like a jack in the box, they don't know until he pops out.

The Doctor running as they followed with him, The Doctor went to his console as alarms, bells, whistles alerted a dimensional break, which something that sent The Doctor in a panic.

"Actually, he seems to be learning from his mistake; that if I am reading this properly." The Doctor waited as he felt a shock from the console scorching his hands a bit.

Azmuth clenched onto his omintrix some of the new features worked but with how precise he made it only Ben could wield but with a aching pains of watching his people turning into dust, it had to do.

Paradox picked Azmuth up as he carried the new omnitrix assuring with the three of them it should work, they walked into the control console as the tardis was trembling, Paradox and Azmuth saw The Doctor scorched hands as he got back up.

"I know girl I know, you don't like his presence." The Doctor watched as the crack was more precise but still a bit crude how things were.

"We need to get Ben and get him off from my dimension, I will not let another dimension fall under this beast control!" The Doctor hit his console trying to get through the interference hoping that would trick the scanners into finding Ben but with how much interference is happening it was for nothing while it was a good idea, the pain shot into his hands made him reconsider.

"Argh! If only that boy used the homing features on the phone I gave him, he could've just popped in but now I won't be able to track him, it made things much harder to filter out with the dimension folding in on itself."

"And that is where I will come in." The Doctor turned looking at Azmuth shaking his head cackling.
