In the middle of a city a building was engulfed in flames while people gathered around watching the spectacle fire crews had been called but it seemed unlikely they would arrive in time however no one noticed the molten individual enter the building on the other side.
Inside two people were trapped trying to get out while the adult repeatedly tried to break open the door, the child could only watch it was slowly getting hotter and both were having trouble breathing up above the fire caused some planks to come loose and they dropped down almost hitting the child but they were stopped by the molten individual who had entered earlier.
Ben breathed a sigh In relief before using his powers absorbing the fire creating a safe area he had dubbed this form heatblast not the best name but it was the simplest one he could think off. The adult turned around feeling the room cool down and almost fainted at the sight of the alien thankfully the near prospect off death kept him from doing that.
Ben said he was here to help and kicked open the door leaving the room with both of them in toll he lead them toward the stairs which crumpled into pieces which made him stop he decided he would make his own way out and blasted a nearby wall making a gap, he told them too hold on and jumped out the building landing on the ground below in a column of fire.
Ben checked them all over for any injuries before turning to the crowd, the crowd whispered excitedly.
"Dude is that an alien"
"No can't be definitely a guy in a suit"
"But it looks so real"
Ben was kinda overwhelmed it was the first time he had been seen by a crowd and all he could think to do was smile and wave someone in the crowd slowly started clapping and it became contagious with other people joining in as we soon there was cheering mixed among the clapping, Ben couldn't lie this felt good.
That was when the rv sped into a view and skidded to a halt nearby Gwen called out of the window explaining the fire had just been a diversion for a jewellery store robbery and were making there escape. Ben didn't have to be told twice he gave the kid a quick high five and got in to the rv before max drove trying to catch up to the jewellery store thieves.
They quickly caught up but the thieves were swerving widely trying to shake them off Ben was sitting in the passenger seat still in his alien form burning the seat Ben cringed "sorry grandpa" he said.
"Its fine though I really should of bought those asbestos seat covers when I had the chance" Max said.
"I know but I can't help it I'm hot" Ben said trying to make a joke, he and the seat were doused by Gwen holding a fire extinguisher, Ben would of been annoyed but at least the seat was not on fire for the moment.
"Thanks" Ben said.
"No problem" Gwen said nonchalantly before dousing him a second time.
"What was that for" Ben asked glaring.
"Because I felt like it" Gwen said grinning Ben laughed sarcastically for a few seconds before telling grandpa max to get closer, Max accelerated and ended up just a few paces behind Ben leaned out of the window a launched a from his hand which hit the car in the back causing it to crash into a nearby wall.
Ben got out of the rv and ripped the door of the car off ordering the thieves to place their hands against the wall while waited for the police, the thieves were to scared to disobey and did what he asked.
"You know you should consider yourselves lucky I'm a nice guy otherwise I would turn you into cinders for endangering those people just so you get a few diamonds" Ben growled. Sadly the watch started to beep red which caused Ben to facepalm "why now of all times" Ben said before he reverted back to his normal form.
One of the thieves turned his head round and saw a ten year old boy instead of a fire monster.
"Get the jewels I will deal with this kid" the guy said to his partner while he brandished a knife.
"Okay guys let's just take a breath and calm down there's no need for violence" Ben said stepping backwards.
Thankfully police arrived one of the cop cars pulled up an officer got out of the car shouting for the thieves to get on their knees, the thieves seeing no escape gave up and did what they were asked Ben couldn't resist making funny faces at them as they were lead to the police car.
On the other side of town a man stood outside an apartment building knocking impatiently on the door, he was the landlord of this property and his most recent tenant had stopped paying his rent for 6 months the tenants name was Dr Animo a creepy old guy with grey hair, pale skin, skinny with a face only a mother could love.
He heard the guy was some scientist or something not that he cared as long as he paid his rent he could be a well known serial killer for all he cared. Eventually he got sick of waiting and entered the building using his own key when he was inside he saw a couple of different animals all in cages stacked on tables it smelled like a zoo in here.
The place was a complete mess he thought to himself he took a step forwards and looked in one if the cages when suddenly a voice spoke out of nowhere and made him jump.
"How did you get in" he turned around it was Dr Animo.
"House key I am still your landlord remember maybe not since your rent is 6 months past due" he said.
"I am afraid all my funds go into my research now get out your disturbing me" Dr Animo said walking to a nearby table and tinkering with something.
"I think your the disturbed one here doc so listen up you and all your animals will be on the street unless you pony up the green" he said holding his hand out.
Dr Animo turned around to face him he was smiling for some reason "pony up the green what an interesting phrase are you a animal lover" he asked politely completely changing his attitude.
"I don't mind the occasional dog or cat why do you ask?" He said.
"Well it just so happens I was in the middle of an experiment and I could use your help" Dr Animo said.
"I don't think so doc you have about 10 seconds to pay me what you owe or I'll throw you out myself" he threatened.
"Tell you what I'll make a deal with you, you help me with this experiment and I will pay you in full right here right now" Dr Animo said holding his hand out him to shake it.
He hesitated only for a moment before shaking the docs hand "fine so what do I do" he asked.
"I need you to pick up and place one of those frogs on the ground while I make a few adjustments" Dr Animo said while tinkering with something he had on the table.
He did what he asked and Dr Animo turned back around wearing a very weird helmet with to small rods attached to base of the helmet which was also attached to button on his chest.
"What is that contraption?" he asked stunned.
"This is my transmodulator this is phase 1 it creates and accelerates mutations at an genetic level observe" he explained twisting the button on his chest causing a beam to form on the two rods before firing at the frog he had placed down in front of him, the beam hit the frog dead on and the frog started to mutate growing in size until he was bigger than him not only that it had grown horns and sharp teeth.
"Wow that's pretty impressive doc so about the rent" he asked amazed and scared trying to move around the frog however the frog didn't let him keeping him in its sight.
"Magnificent is it not? now that he has been altered been you can imagine that flies will no longer sustain its food needs no it requires something large and slightly meatier" Dr Animo said cheerfully while he was slowly staring to realise that he was in serious trouble.
He tried to run to the exit but the frog tongues shot out grabbing him from behind he tried his best to move but he was stuck the frog slowly retracted its tongue pulling him back he screamed in terror and struggled to break free.
"Thank you for your help Mr landlord you have made a great contribution to science" Dr Animo said before snapping his fingers causing the frog to shoot his tongue back into its mouth carrying him along with it blood exploded everywhere but Dr Animo wasn't concerned he was too busy marvelling his creation.
A few seconds later the frog had finished its meal with bloody lips and a full stomach, Dr Animo petted his creation stating what a good boy it was before hopping on its back and pulling out an old newspaper containing an article alongside a picture of a trophy.
"Soon I will take back what is rightfully mine I'm just going need a few more components first"
Ben,Gwen and Max had stopped at the Mega Mart to pick some supplies for the road ahead while Ben and Gwen were trying to guess what kind of exotic food grandpa max would pick up this time.
"Only canned octopus I thought this store prided itself on wide selection" Max said disappointed.
"Er grandpa I know this might be asking a lot but couldn't we have a normal dinner for once" Gwen pleaded trying her best too look innocent.
"Nonsense now where do you suppose they keep the sheep's bladder" Max said moving along.
Ben patted a depressed Gwen on the shoulder "well it was a good try, who knows maybe a super villain might come along and when I take him down I'll use that as leverage to get us a normal meal" Ben said hopefully.
Gwen and Max headed to the pet aisle with Gwen pleading with him not to cook any of the animals, Ben was just about to follow them when he heard a rumbling sound he listened as the sound got closer and louder he was a facing a wall and he had a strange feeling that he should move which he did by diving to one side before the wall exploded, Ben took cover behind a counter that was nearby and peeked out.
He saw an old man wearing a strange helmet riding a giant mutated frog he wondered if the universe knew he was kidding when he made that joke, he moved back slowly and was about to activate The Omnitrix before the frogs tongue suddenly burst through the counter and wrapped around him bringing him face to face with Dr Animo.
Dr Animo seemed surprised but quickly recovered saying "don't be a hero kid" before he clicked his fingers and the frog threw Ben into a stack of boxes while Dr Animo started takings things of the shelf. Two security guards arrived and ordered him to freeze but it was useless before they knew the frog leapt over them with ease getting away one of the security guards spoke into his radio "Er we got a grab and dash in electronics male, 5;6 riding on a giant frog trust me you can't miss him.
Over in the pets aisle Gwen and Max were looking around when Dr Animo landed right in front of them on his frog he quickly fired the transmodulator at one of the cages causing Max to grab Gwen and dive out of the way it hit the cage causing the hamster inside to become the same as his frog while Dr Animo fired again aiming for the birdcage.
Now Dr Animo had three genetically altered animals which caused to cheer "arise to your full potential my pets" meanwhile Ben had recovered after being thrown and was heading toward him surprisingly he hadn't been that hurt he figured the watch must have Increased his normal strength somehow.
He saw Gwen and Max running away from a giant hamster heading toward him all three of them stood side by side facing Dr Animo's creations "behold the genius of Dr Animo nothing can stop me from getting what I deserve, Mark my words today I will make history or should I say pre history " Dr Animo announced.
"Oh yeah this guy's nuts" Ben whispered.
"No kidding" Gwen agreed.
"Lets get out of here" Ben said before all three of them took of running.
Dr Animo looked at one of his pet and said "kill them" the hamster happily obliged taking off running after them.
While Ben managed to get out of sight Gwen and Max and ran until they were backed against the wall, the hamster was about to pounce before a red fist hit it straight in the face causing it to yelp and skid backwards.
Ben had transformed into what he had dubbed as four arms and massive red alien with superstrength and four arms. He cracked his knuckles and gave a come on gesture which caused the hamster to charge right at him Ben stopped him and held him place with two arms while he used the other two to punch it face twice before picking it up and slamming it into the floor hard.
Causing the hamster to get knocked out Ben sighed and turned to face Gwen and Max "you guys okay" Ben said.
"Yeah we're fine good job Ben" Max said proud.
"I just hope what I did isn't considered animal cruelty" Ben said jokingly.
"Well technically it's a mutant hamster so I don't think standard rules apply" Gwen said.
"Good point" Ben said.
Dr Animo appeared seeing one of his pets unconscious and was angry "you fool you can not stop me. Mark my words I will turn Washington dc into Washington bc" Dr Animo said before jumping on his bird and starting to fly off.
"Oh no you don't" Ben said grabbing one of the tall shelfs and throwing it at Dr Animo but before it could hit him Dr Animo blasted into pieces using his transmodulator. Ben was about to go after him before he suddenly reverted back to his normal form Luckily Dr Animo was too distracted to see it and took off out of site.
"Godamnnit of all the times to time out it would happen now" Ben said frustrated.
"We need to move. We have a giant parrot to follow" Max said running outside Ben and Gwen in toll and piling into the rv, they drove off following the giant parrot.
Ben was in the front with Max while Gwen was sitting at the table on her laptop trying to find any leads on this Dr Animo before she found something.
"Bingo Ben come and take a look at this" Gwen said.
Ben got up and headed to the table leaning over Gwens shoulder "5 years ago Dr Animo was a promising researcher in veterinary science but it turned he was doing all these twisted genetic experiments where he was mutating animals" Gwen said.
"That explains the so called transmodulator he had, I don't like commenting bad guys but this guy is a genius though definitely insane" Ben said.
"Not only that apparently when he didn't win some big prize called the veretys award he flipped out" Gwen said.
"Question is where's he going" Ben wondered
"Parrot left side up top" Max said however the parrot veered off and headed west leaving Max unable to follow due to the road.
"Damn it we lost him" Max said.
Ben suddenly had a thought "I think I know where he's going" Ben said.
They arrived at the national history museum where they found giant hole in the wall along with a big bird feather.
"He's definitely here good thinking Ben" Max said complimenting him.
"I guess even a doofus can surprise you once in a while" Gwen said though she was joking.
"And you should know" Ben countered before they headed into the museum.
It was dark and slightly eerie with prehistoric artefacts and skeletons on display all around they wondered through looking for anymore clues before they saw Dr Animo standing near one of the skeletons tinkering with something.
"You are very persistent a trait I do admire personally however as you can see I am quite busy so it would be best if you left right now" Dr Animo said not turning around.
"We know about you and your frekazoid experiments Dr Animo and it ends here" Ben said determined to bring him down.
"Oh I disagree you see this is the beginning of my legacy now observe as you three will be the first to witness phase two the reanimation of dormant cells" Dr Animo announced before activating his transmodulator and reanimating the corpse of the wooly mammoth causing it to come alive.
Dr Animo started to run away "you guys get Animo I've got this" he said so Max and Gwen went after Dr Animo luckily his omnitrix had finally recharged and was ready to use, he slammed down the core transforming into four arms charging directly at the mammoth.
Gwen and Max tried to follow Animo but we're stopped by his mutant parrot Gwen looked around and found a antique spear being held by a caveman she grabbed the spear and spun it around effortlessly before hitting the bird on the head with the shaft, the bird tried to bite her but she dodged and jabbed the spear into the birds wing causing to screech in pain and run away.
Max had a surprised look on his face "what did you think Ben was the only one who could fight" Gwen said smirking before continuing chasing after Animo while Max followed still surprised.
They found Dr Animo near a T rex skeleton, he saw them coming and reanimated the T rex immediately the T rex came to live and roared causing the whole building to shake.
Back with Ben he was slammed against the wall by the mammoth as he tried to overpower it with strength, he was feeling slightly dizzy the multiple transformations were starting to get to him but he forced himself to focus and punched it in the face two times causing it to flinch before using all his strength to send it airborne but Ben wasn't done he jumped into the air slammed all fours arms down on it letting gravity do the rest. The mammoth crashed to the floor making a massive hole, the mammoths DNA broke apart due to the damage it had sustained making revert back into bones.
Ben satisfied that it wasn't getting up headed in the direction Max and Gwen went, Gwen and Max both ducked as the T rex tail slammed into one of the pillers, Dr Animo jumped on the T rexs back and set off making a hole in the wall. Gwen and Max were about to head back to the rv but the bird had returned and quickly grabbed Gwen by the shoulders lifting her up into the air following Dr Animo. Max called out for Ben who then appeared and went after the bird jumping in the air to compensate for his lack of speed, Max grabbed a piece of paper that had fallen out of Dr Animo's pocket and ran toward the rv.
Ben managed to grab on to the birds tail and tried to ground it, Gwen shouted relieved that Ben was here and tried to struggle out of the birds grip but Ben was unable to hold on and fell toward the ground creating a massive crater, the pain caused to him to revert straight away and stumbled out of the hole cradling his shoulder it was broken but it was hurting. The rv swerved to a stop next to him and Max told him to get in, Ben didn't need to be asked twice he jumped in and they took off after bird.
Max noticed Ben was nursing his shoulder "Ben are you okay?" Max asked worried.
"I'm fine grandpa this is nothing we need to save Gwen" Ben said trying to ignore the pain in his shoulder.
Gwen was being hanged over the Washington monument by the bird wondering when it would let go she preferred it didn't she realised that she still had her phone so she decided to call max hoping it wouldn't be too late.
"Godamnnit I can't believe we lost it again" Ben said they were trying to think places where the bird would go.
"There can't be that many places for a bird as big as an elephant to roost I also found this Dr Animo dropped it" Max said handing the piece of paper to Ben.
"Doctor Kelly accepts varetys award so that's where is going, he's going to take back the award but Gwen comes first.
Grandpa Max phone started ringing Ben answered it "Gwen where are you?" Ben said.
"I'm at the Washington monument please hurry I can't hold on much longer" Gwen said panicking before she accidentally dropped the phone causing the call to cut out.
Max made a sharp left and arrived at the monument when the phone landed on the ground breaking into pieces, Ben got out and started flicking through The Omnitrix hoping he had alien that could fly he saw one which looked like it could and slammed the core down transforming into this new alien, when the transformation was complete he looked like a big mutant fly he was green with four legs and wings with a sharp looking tail he also had four eyes with The Omnitrix symbol in the middle of his head.
He took off into the sky and headed toward Gwen who was barely holding on to the flag, eventually she couldn't hold on for much longer and fell screaming but Ben quickly caught her to her amazement.
"So what do you call this one" Gwen asked being held by Ben.
"I think I'm going with stink fly" Ben said.
Gwen held her nose as she smelled him "good choice" Gwen said gagging.
"Sorry" Ben apologised.
The bird flew toward them and tried to scratch Gwen but Ben moved down quickly avoiding the strike "hey watch the claws Polly" Ben continuing to dodge the birds attacks. Meanwhile Max was making his way up the monument using the stairs hoping to help Ben and Gwen somehow.
Ben tried to do dodge another one of the bird strikes but it caught his arm leaving a nasty scratch "ow okay I'm getting pretty sick of this" Ben said before seeing his grandpa wave out of one the Windows in the monument.
"Okay I've got an idea just hold on" Ben said heading toward the monument with the bird giving chase.
When Ben was close enough to the monument he hovered over the window where grandpa max was waiting and dropped Gwen into his arms before diving downward, the bird followed him down but as he was descending Ben shot a green sticky substance from his eyes sticking the birds wings together leaving it unable to fly causing to fall to the ground below.
Ben reappeared next to the window where Max and Gwen were waiting "you need to go a stop Animo we'll catch up" Max said.
Ben nodded and started flying toward Kelly Industries.
Dr Kelly was showing off his varetys award to two men when suddenly Dr Animo crashed through the window riding his T rex "Kelly I believe you have something of mine" Dr Animo said jumping down and grabbing the trophy "I'd like to thank the committee for this honour" Dr Animo continued before jumping back on the T rex back and ordering his pet to dispose of Kelly but Ben appeared out of nowhere and barged the T rex in the head.
The T rex recovered and swung its tail sending Ben flying backwards hitting the wall the T rex then grabbed Kelly by the coat and threw him into the air preparing to devour him but Ben saw this and flew faster they he though he could and caught Kelly just before the T rex closed its mouth.
He landed and set Kelly down "I will exterminate you, you annoying pest" Dr Animo shouted angrily.
"Take your best shot old man" Ben said taunting him, Dr Animo fired his transmodulator and Ben who dodged it and flew towards him Dr Animo fired again but still he missed Ben got some range and retaliated firing his sticky green goo causing the T rex to become irritated and out of control. Dr Animo tried to control it but it was no use while he was distracted Ben grabbed the transmodulator and threw it at the ground breaking it however he also knocked the trophy out Dr Animo's hands and that was destroyed.
For once Dr Animo was too shocked to speak as the T rex and the rest of his pets either turned to bones or returned to their normal state. The police arrived and took Dr Animo into custody while babbled on and on about how he deserved the award.
Ben was sitting nearby feeling tired it was the first he ever transformed multiple times but it was worth it he had saved the day now he could see what heroes got from this, his grandpa max called out him saying they were leaving he got up and headed toward the rv. The police car Dr Animo was in was nearby he could see Dr Animo looking at him suspiciously, Ben decided to quickly cover the watch with his hand and walked swift to the rv.
Dr Animo was still staring as Ben got on the rv that boy he thought to himself.
They were on the road again Ben had managed to snag the broken transmodulator during aftermath, he hadn't thought he would start a collection but it couldn't hurt. Him and Gwen were sitting at the table.
"Don't forget you saved me too" Gwen said.
"Hey family comes first right" Ben said
"Right" Gwen said smiling
"I wonder what my folks did say about this" Ben said.
"Best not to tell them or I'll probably be dead before you know it" Max said though in a joking tone Ben could here the strictness in his voice.
"Yeah I guess your right" Ben said miserably he realised that his shoulder had stopped hurting which was pretty weird but he ignored it he had enough insanity for one day.
Unbeknownst to Ben however The Omnitrix was more connected to him than he realised.

Just quickly thank you for the review unknown as for the chosen one mystery that was sort of a a spur of the moment not really sure where I was going with that but I won't forget about it, I just need to work out what I'm going to do anyway thank you to anyone who is reading this.
