Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix
Chapter 6: Jailbreak!
Malware was charging his genetic disruptor blaster while aiming it at Ben, Gwen, Julie, and Lunawolf, who were equally cornered by the prisoners.
"Way to keep a low profile, genius.", Gwen spoke sarcastically before Ben noticed the Omnitrix in a red and orange color as the middle of the dial was red while the rest are orange.
"Looks like we're on our own.", Ben stated.
"I was afraid you were going to say that.", Gwen spoke in slight fear before Malware then fired his blast at Ben, Gwen, Julie, and Lunawolf.
"Not so fast!", Lunawolf discouraged before giving off an ultrasonic howl to counter Malware's disruptive blast and keep it at bay.
Then, the moment the two blasts hit each other, the two blasts were now on equal ground in a sort of beam struggle, which caused shockwaves reverberating across Incarcicon, taking some prisoners by surprise.
Meanwhile, Sixsix was knocked back by Tetrax and Gorvan just in time for the duo to notice Lunawolf and Malware clashing blasts with each other before looking back to notice that Sixsix has disappeared.
"That slinking coward...!", Gorvan growled.
"Forget him, Gorvan. We'll go after him another time. Right now, we have other matters to worry about.", Tetrax responded as he got out his board and activated it.
Meanwhile, Malware and Lunawolf's blasts were still on par with each other.
"You insolent brat!", Malware growled.
"Keep it coming, Emily!", Gorvan shouted before both Lunawolf and Malware grew puzzled and noticed Tetrax and Gorvan headed right for the latter before they got off the board, which crashed onto Malware, knocking him back as he was caught unawares before Lunawolf ceased her howl.
"Tetrax! Gorvan!", Lunawolf grinned as she perked her pointy ears up.
"You guys okay?", Tetrax asked.
"Barely.", Julie responded as she saw a nearby pipe and pulled it out as best she could to help fight back before Malware recovered as he stood up.
"How annoying.", Malware sighed before he then corroded the board into ashes and dust as it got red lines first before disintegrating, making Lunawolf gasp.
"Whoa.", Ben responded.
"That was my favorite board!", Tetrax spoke.
"With however time you may have left, you won't be needing it anytime soon, Petrosapien.", Malware retorted before he dashed toward Tetrax only for him to fire crystals at Malware, catching him and binding him to the wall.
"'Whoa' is right.", Gwen commented.
"Yeah, but I think we have a new problem now.", Julie responded, gesturing to the prisoners.
"Careful. With that thing on his wrist, he can become any one of us he wants.", the prisoner warned.
"Yeah, but if he knew how to control it, he would've used it again by now.", another interjected.
"Give me that thing!", the Lepidopteran urged before he flew toward Ben only for Lunawolf to leap up and slash at it, knocking it to the ground.
"Anyone else want some?", Lunawolf goaded before the prisoners charged toward her only for the loboan hybrid to emit another ultrasonic howl to knock them back as they were blasted far away by 18 feet as Julie whacked a few of the other prisoners away with one stroke.
"Wow. That's new.", Julie spoke in awe.
"There. That should give us some time.", Lunawolf panted.
"How did they know about the Omnitrix?", Tetrax asked.
"Funny story. I'll tell you later.", Ben responded just as the feminine look-alike of Vilgax appeared again with Ben just noticing her.
"Sorry about that whole 'chew-you-up' thing. I thought you were somebody else.", Ben apologized before noticing the Omnitrix on Ben's wrist.
"What are you doing with the Omnitrix?", the being asked.
"What's it to you?", Ben asked.
"Plenty after all the work I've put into it only to have it wind up on the wrist of some...thing.", the being responded.
"Wait. Are you saying that you are the one who created the Omnitrix?", Julie puzzled as she stepped forward.
"Depends on what you heard.", the being responded.
"All I heard was that Azmuth was the one who created the Omnitrix. He even called me a half hour earlier and urged me to head to Zenon as fast as I can. Do you know the way there?", Lunawolf asked with the being intrigued to learn that Azmuth is urging her to go to Zenon as she widened her red eyes, neither one knowing that Malware overheard it and was livid.
"Azmuth...?!", Malware growled.
"First, you have to get me out of this galactic sewer.", the being answered.
"No! No one leaves!", Malware discouraged before corroding the crystals enough as they cracked to the point that Malware would break through while roaring.
"Malware broke out!", Julie spoke just before the Omnitrix began to give off yellow sparks again.
"Oh, man! Like I don't have enough problems.", Ben groaned before the Omnitrix then let loose an energy explosion, knocking Malware back, crashing him against the wall while even knocking Gwen, Julie, and Lunawolf back some before they got back up to notice Ben on the ground.
"Ben!", Gwen, Julie, and Lunawolf shouted before they dashed for him and caught up with Tetrax and Gorvan catching up as well.
"Ben! Are you okay?", Julie asked worriedly before Ben only groaned in response.
"What? Mom, I don't want to go to school.", Ben groaned.
"Yeah. He's okay.", Gwen assured.
"Thank goodness.", Lunawolf sighed in relief as her pointy ears went down a little.
"But it won't be that way for long if we don't come up with a way out.", Gorvan urged.
Then, the ship arrived from behind the group of five with Gluto piloting it just as Malware recovered and looked up to see it as the ship turned around and then docked with the back door opening.
"Heh. It's about time.", Gorvan grinned.
"Gotta love that blob.", Gwen grinned before Tetrax ran in, carrying Ben.
"Hey!", Gwen shouted.
Meanwhile, Lunawolf turned to the feminine being.
"Look. I want to know the best way to get to Zenon and you want to get out of Incarcicon, right?", Lunawolf asked.
"Wasn't that established already?", the being asked, slightly annoyed.
"I guess I'll take that as a yes. The point is, as long as you don't try to destroy us, it's a deal. Now, come on.", Lunawolf assured before she took her hand and made off into the ship as Tetrax and Gorvan knocked some of the prisoners that recovered from the ultrasonic howl away before they, Ben, Gwen, Julie, and Lunawolf, with the unknown being in tow, hopped inside the cargo of the ship.
"You are not authorized to be in this maximum-security area. Exit or your ship will be destroyed.", the voice warned before the turrets aimed at the ship and fired at the ship just as one alien tried to get aboard only to get pushed off by Tetrax as it then fell down.
"Gluto, get us out of here!", Tetrax urged before Malware pushed the prisoners aside as he leapt up with a roar and then landed on top of the spaceship with Gluto then pushing the lever, causing the spaceship to thrust forwards sneaking past the lasers while turning left.
As it went down the hall, though, another security turret opened up before two drones were sent after the ship with Tetrax busy pushing the prisoners off before Lunawolf stopped him.
"Tetrax, wait! She says she knows the way to where Azmuth really is!", Lunawolf urged.
Then, Tetrax still went in for a punch, only it was aimed at the prisoner just behind her before offering her his hand to help her up.
"Nice to meet you.", Tetrax greeted.
"We still have company, over here!", Gorvan urged as he then fired at the rogue Lepidopteran.
"You're not leaving without me!", the alien discouraged as he moved forward only for Gorvan to zap him to the point that he fell down after the shock due to losing consciousness.
"Ben, Emily, the hatch!", Gorvan urged.
"Got it!", Lunawolf nodded before she and Ben went for the hatch only to notice Malware there as the corrupt mechamorph blasted the prisoners away and turned his gaze toward Ben and the others.
"I have been waiting a very long time for this.", Malware growled.
"We're going to be blown to bits!", the feminine being shouted in worry.
"Definitely not Vilgax.", Ben commented.
"Don't hurt them! I'm warning you!", Lunawolf warned as she bared her claws.
"You're warning me? Hah! No, I'm warning you. Do not try to stop me. You know what I'm capable of.", Malware responded.
"Oh, yeah? Well, how about this?", Lunawolf retorted before she leapt up and kicked Malware off the cargo bay of the ship toward a drone before Ben and Lunawolf closed the hatch before the latter sighed in relief and exhaustion as she knelt down.
"We sure this is the way outta here?", Ben asked before Tetrax took off the hood with the helmet then opening.
"Gluto's on it!", Tetrax assured.
As Gluto was piloting the ship, however, Malware managed to merge himself with the drone in order to keep up with the ship as it sped through the circular hallway with Ben, Gwen, Lunawolf, Tetrax, and Gorvan heading out to notice a dead-end.
"Aaah! Big wall coming up fast!", Ben shouted.
"We're not gonna make it.", the being doubted as she shook her head.
"She may have a point.", Gwen agreed.
"Not unless we're actually going up.", Lunawolf spoke before Gluto pulled the lever, causing the ship to go up as the drones crashed into the wall afterwards, but not before Malware split from the drone and jumped off in the nick of time to get to the ship, hanging on with his claws with one hand as the ship then went down and moved through the hole the crash made as the lasers fired at the ship as it left.
"Huh. Well, what do you know?", Lunawolf spoke in surprise.
"That was so cool! Let's never do that again.", Ben suggested.
"Good idea.", Julie agreed.
However, Malware hung on as tightly as he can before noticing Sixsix there as well as a prisoner before the former turned to see the alien prisoner giving a thumbs-up only to be blasted off with Sixsix then blasted off the ship by one of the lasers as Malware bravely hung on and avoided the incoming lasers that hit (although there were only 2) only to be finally blasted off alongside Sixsix as Incarcicon security stopped firing as Ben, Gwen, Julie, Lunawolf, Tetrax, Gorvan, Gluto, and the feminine being noticed via monitor.
"Phew. That was close.", Lunawolf sighed as her Omni-enhancer beeped and flashed a blue color before the light of said color overtook her and dimmed down, revealing her true human self.
"Another one? And you actually have the Omni-Enhancer?!", the being puzzled in surprise.
"Yeah, you'd be surprised about what happened before we met you up to this point. Azmuth even helped me and Ben make sure Earth is safe several times over before. I'm Emily.", Emily greeted.
"Oh. Well, uh, it's nice to meet you. I'm Myaxx, his assistant.", Myaxx introduced in response.
"His assistant?", Emily puzzled before she realized something.
"So, that means you really aren't the one who made the Omnitrix, doesn't it?", Julie realized.
"What?!", Ben, Gwen, Tetrax, and Gorvan exclaimed.
"Well, I'm certainly not an egocentric, selfish, self-promoting 'oh, aren't I so brilliant?' creator of the Omnitrix. So, yeah. Something like that.", Myaxx agreed before the ship went through the yellow dimensional portal ring as Malware and Sixsix looked on with the latter growling discontentedly.
"Your day will come soon enough, Ben Tennyson. You can count on it.", Malware glared.
