Stargate: Omniverse
By: DoctorEd17
Chapter 2: Learning
...
On the planet we see the Stargate in a desert. The team just exited the Stargate.
"Hot..." Scott said as he put on sunglasses
"Cool!" Eli said as he put on sunglasses too
When the wormhole disengaged, Scott said, "Make sure we can dial back."
"Already on it!" Dr. Franklin said
We see Frank putting in what looked like a rusty colored microchip on the back of his Omnitrix. Once it was connected, Frank pulled out the PDA he found earlier and started doing something with it.
We see Dr. Rush noticing and said, "What are you doing?"
"Trying to access the Omnitrix's database with the Ancient PDA I found. I figure I could at least scan it." Frank said
We then see red colored Ancient word for, "Error! System incompatible." appear on the PDA's screen.
"Ok..." Frank said as he pressed a few button's, "Let's see what happens if I do... this."
The words disappeared and the Omnitrix symbol appeared on the screen.
"What did you do?" Dr. Rush asked
"I just rebooted the system." Frank said
We then see Frank put it a few things and the screen changed to a diagnostics program.
"I reprogrammed the PDA to be an analyzer and secondary interface so I can check for viruses and try to unlock more aliens." Frank explained
"When did you...?" Rush asked
"When you're XLR8, you can get a lot done." Frank said
"Ok. Greer and I are going to scout the area. Franklin, You're with us. Dr. Rush and Eli stay by the gate and help Frank with the Omnitrix." Lt. Scott said
We see Frank looking at the PDA screen tapping away. Then he gave the PDA to Eli and said, "I need you to monitor the readings."
"Huh?" Eli asked
"The PDA will tell you basic information about the alien I'll transform into. Granted most of the database is encrypted and the safeguards made it very hard to install the secondary interface. But it will allow us to identify their abilities through hints." Frank said
"Why hints? Couldn't you program the interface to just give us the information?" Dr. Rush asked
"I tried to, but the Omnitrix has so many safeguards and firewalls. I had to compromise. I have to use the aliens ability to learn it. There'll be hints to give me an idea on how to use the alien. Once I learn it, it'll be listed on the PDA." Frank said, "And besides where's the fun in just being given the answer?"
Dr. Rush walked away.
Frank then stepped back a little and pressed the Activation button. Frank started selecting an alien.
"Ok... Let's see what mystery alien #1 can do..." Frank said before he slammed down the core
After the flash of green light we see a green humanoid frog with grey metallic eyebrows. He is wearing a blue, black and white jumpsuit covering all except for his arms and feet, as well as a grey and black mask. The Omnitrix symbol is on his back.
Eli then looked at the PDA which started to beep.
"Slapback"
"So, what does it say?" Frank asked in a deep voice
"The hint just says "Slapback"." Eli said confused
"Slapback? What does that mean?" Frank asked
"Maybe one of your abilities has something to do with your back?" Eli asked
"Maybe..." Frank said
Eli then walked over to Frank and slapped his back. We see a smaller flash of green light. When it faded we see 2 of him each half the size of the Original.
The PDA beeped and Eli looked at it.
The two aliens looked at each other and one asked, "So, are you me or am I me?" in a higher pitch voice
"I think we're both us!" the other one said
"Well..." Frank #1 said
Then the two started to hug each other.
"I've always wanted a twin brother!" Frank #2 said
"Whoa!" Eli said, "Hey Frank's!"
"Yes?" The 2 Franks asked
"According to this. Every time you duplicate the clones get smaller and they each get stronger heavier and durable than the original." Eli said
"Cool!" Frank #1 said
"Also you can only make 8 of you, Max." Eli said
"So much for an army of me..." Frank #2 said
We see Dr. Rush appear and said, "Actually, I don't think duplicating is the right word for this."
"Oh really?" Frank #1 asked
"What makes you think that?" Frank #2 asked
"It looked more like you were split into two." Dr. Rush said
"You know what we think?" Frank #1 asked
Before anything else happened we see the Omnitrix symbol on both Frank's backs beep red and a second later we see a flash of green light and Frank was human again.
"What the?! It hasn't even been 5 minutes!" Frank said as he looked at the Omnitrix
...
About 5 more minutes later we see Frank selecting another alien when we see Lt. Scott's team return.
"Well, this planet is a dead zone." Dr. Franklin said
"How are you doing, Frank?" Lt. Scott asked
"I'm selecting another alien to test out..., Ohh! This guy looks good!" Frank said before he slammed down the core
Inside the flash of green light we see Franks body become blue plasma energy and rocks begin to cover it.
When the flash of green light faded, we see a creature whose body appears to mainly consist of blue energy. There are four spikes protruding from both of his shoulders. His arms are rather large, stretching down nearly to his feet in resting position. His arms, chest, and legs are rock-like. A moss-like substance can be seen around his neck. The Omnitrix symbol is on his chest.
"Whoa! This is awesome!" Frank said
"And highly improbable." Dr. Rush said as he looked at the transformed Frank
"How could some rocks and plasma contain DNA?" Lt. Scott asked
"Beats me!" Frank said, "Eli, What does it say?"
"It says to Focus and Accept the energy flow." Eli said
"Ok..." Frank said as he closed his green eyes
After a few minutes Frank opened his eyes and said, "I got nothin."
"Ok... Try firing an energy blast." Eli said
Frank pointed his right hand at a dune and focused. After a few seconds we see a blue plasma energy blast fired from the hand and struck the dune causing it to blow up upon contact.
"Whoa!" Dr. Franklin said
We hear a beeping sound from the PDA.
"Eli?" Frank asked
"What you just did popped up. But the hint is still there." Eli said
We then hear another beeping as a pop up window appeared. In the window it said, "Tap symbol to change back early."
Eli repeated what it said to Frank who did so.
After the flash of green light we see Frank is human again.
"Huh... That'll come in handy." Frank said
30 seconds later the Omnitrix is in the green again.
"Ok... Let's try mystery Alien #3!" Frank said as he selected a cat like silhouette and slammed down the core
In the flash of green light we see Orange fur growing all over his body.
When the flash of green light faded, we see a nine foot tall creature who resembles an orange and white bipedal tiger with scruffy fur. He has one large black claw coming out of each of his wrists. He has no tail. He is also muscular and has green eyes. He has stripes on his shoulders, head and upper body. He has a white jaw, neck, chest, stomach, hands and feet and half-white eyebrows. He is wearing tight black pants with a green belt. The Omnitrix symbol is on his chest.
"(Roars!) Here's Rath!" Rath said
"Frank? Are you Ok?" Dr. Rush asks as Eli looked at the PDA
"LET ME TELL YA SOMETHING, DR. NICOLAUS RUSH! RATH IS MORE THAN "OK" OH YEAH! RATH IS READY TO TAKE ON THE UNIVERSE! BETTER TAKE NOTES, BECAUSE RATH IS GOING TO TAKE THIS UNIVERSE TO SCHOOL!" Rath Yelled
"Frank, Calm down." Lt. Scott said
"Calm down? CALM DOWN!? Let me tell ya something, Lt. Scott... Rath never calms down. Rath calms up!" Rath yelled
"Eli?" Greer asked
"It says here that Rath has super strength and wrist claws, but is not very bright and prone to anger issues." Eli said
"So he's kind of like Greer?" Dr. Franklin asked as Greer glared at him
"Except way more dangerous and aggressive." Eli said
"Frank!" Greer shouted at the alien, "Change back."
Rath then stormed over to Greer and said, "Let me tell ya something, Greer... NO ONE TELLS RATH WHAT TO DO!"
We then hear the Omnitrix symbol on his chest beep and a second later we see Rath is Frank again.
"(Screams) What am I doing?" Frank asked
"You Ok?" Eli asked
"Yeah... That Rath cat was weird. Can I have my PDA back?" Frank asked
Eli handed it back. Frank looked at the screen and said, "That's weird..."
"What is it?" Lt. Scott asked
"According to the PDA it says I have 12 aliens unlocked. But when I access the Omnitrix..." Frank said as he activated the watch and turned the dial, "I only count 10."
Dr. Rush took the PDA from Frank who said, "Why yes Rush. You can borrow my PDA."
"What did you program into this PDA?" Dr. Rush asked
"Not much... It's only programed to act like a secondary Interface for the Omnitrix." Frank said, "Why?"
Dr. Rush handed the PDA back and Frank looked at it.
On the screen we see what looked like 10 green Oval shaped pods in rows of 5. Inside each Oval is an alien silhouette. On the top we see the word Active Playlist in light green.
On the bottom of the screen we see 2 extra pods under the word Storage bay in dark green.
"This is new." Frank said
He took a pod from the storage area and put it in to the Active playlist. Only for an "ERROR" to pop up on the screen.
Then another screen popped up with the words, "Remove a DNA pod to insert new one..."
Frank selected Rath's DNA pod and put it into the Storage bay. We see the new DNA pod is put into the place where Rath was.
He then removed another DNA pod and replaced it with another new one.
Frank pressed a button on the screen that said, "Save." We hear the Omnitrix beep twice.
"Ok... This Omnitrix is definitely different from the one in the cartoon." Frank said
"It's almost been 3 hours... I'm dialing back." Lt. Scott said as he dialed the Destiny
...
We go to the Destiny where we see the group just exited the Stargate.
We see Frank noticed a few extra people in the room. Colonel Young is one of them.
"Hey..." Frank said
"So... You're Frank McKay?" Young asked
"Yeah... But you already knew that." Frank said confused
"Colonel Young is using the communication stones. This is Colonel Telferd." T.J. said
"Ah..." Frank said, "Nice to meet you then."
...
We go to Frank's quarters a while later where we see Frank looking at the PDA when Colonel Young entered the room.
"Colonel Young or someone else?" Frank asked
"It's me..." Colonel Young said
"What brings you by?" Frank asked
"Lt. Scott and Eli told me about what happened on the Planet." Colonel Young said
"That transformation caught me off guard. I felt so angry... At everything!" Frank said
"Eli told me you have 12 transformations." Colonel Young said
"Sort of... For some reason the Omnitrix will only allow 10 transformations into the active playlist. No more, No less. If I want to use a certain transformation I need to replace a DNA pod from the active playlist." Frank said, "This Omnitrix is different from the one in the TV Series."
"Good thing you found that PDA then." Colonel Young said
"Yeah..." Frank said
"Anyway, We'll need your help. You don't know what will happen or how to operate that device properly but we'll need all the help we can get." Colonel Young said
"Don't worry. I'll help you." Frank said
"Good... Report to me in the Mess Hall at 0600 hours." Young said
He then left the room. Frank pulled out a locket hidden behind his shirt and opened it. Inside is a picture 9 year old Frank with his parents and his sister.
"(Sighs) I got what I wanted, but at what cost?" Frank asked himself
