Ben 10 Untitled Fic
Chapter Two
It had been a short trip from the university to the Plumber base, which was fortunate as it took longer for the examination of the Omni-matrix which she had made. What made it interesting and less frustrating, was the fact the original maker of the Omnitrix was looking at it.
"Well, it's just as good as the Omnitrix Ben has. No obvious defects. So how did you make it?" asked the small grey frog-humanoid alien.
"Like I told Gwen, it's less that no one can make an Omnitrix. It's just that they focus on finding one which is already made. Maybe because they don't have the brains to do it. Maybe they want revenge on Ben. Maybe they can get the schematics, and need the original.
Then you have those who can. Albedo and Psychobos who made their own. Which means it's possible to make your own. Either getting it from them, making them make one for you, stealing the schematics or a copy, magic, time travel, dimesional travel, spying and so on." she told the genius who seemed to have not noticed the ways his work could be duplicated.
"As expected." was his answer which shocked everyone there, including Tennyson and his grandfather in the Hawaiian shirt.
"Wait a minute, Azmuth. Are you saying that you knew the Omnitrix could be duplicated? Isn't that dangerous?" asked the older man, leader of Earth's Plumber's force.
"Yes and Yes. Anything which can be made, can be duplicated. As Charmcaster pointed out, Albedo and Psychobos did so already. They needed a template copy, but in time people could create their own. Just wanted to check to see if the lady had figure out something I didn't know.
As for it being dangerous, everything is potentially dangerous. Most life needs water, but in the right dose, it becomes a poison. All of the species in the Omnitrix exist or existed in nature somewhere. Which means we can expect and fight them from what we know of their species. The real danger from the Omnitrix was some of the more powerful members, the ability to change as well as adapt, plus the machinery it's self. Which we all know can destroy the galaxy, if not the universe, when not treated right." Azmuth was thinking deeply as he looked at the copy of his signature device.
Taking a few minutes, he then continued, "Now I understand the young lady has not had the... most stable or legal life up to this point. Which are points against her keeping this device. One the other hand, she has been clever enough to create this copy. Plus I am curious of the effects of a Mana Specialist using the Omnitrix, just force the scientific data it could provide.
Which is why I have added a few things. When you used your magic to synch it up with the computer systems the original is connected to, even if switching the default human DNA from Ben to yourself, I gained a connection to it. Which means if I leave it with you, I can monitor your behaviour and then remote access it. Transforming you back when you are safe, then teleporting it back to me if you prove unworthy. And don't think I can't, even with your magic power. I may not be the best expert on mana in the universe, but I know enough.
Finally, given your need to protect the Alpha Rune, while keeping sane enough to rule Ledgerdomain... you can keep it for now. On the condition you recieve training from Ben. Also subject to review by myself and select others. As well as all data on the use of mana when combined with the Omnitrix. Understand?"
She nodded as she felt relief at the ability to keep the device. Even as Max committed, "I'm not sure about this, but if Azmuth is saying he's okay with it... then I'll give it a try. Just be on your best behaviour. This is the best chance to improve your life."
He then continued, "So Ben will be training you in the use of the Omnitrix, and you will be under probation until we can determine that you will use your chance wisely. You will keep in touch with the Plumbers as your probation office. The Plumbers will help to provide housing unless you can find and pay for your own."
She nodded as she knew that it would be expected, given what she had. They would be watching anyone who had the same device as Ben with a close watch with open eyes. Yet she knew she needed it.
"But first..." said Max as he continued, his speech, "You're going to need to show us what you got."
Later in the training room...
Charmcaster was getting ready to test herself against a robot training dummy, to begin with. She moved to her wrist and activated the holographic interface. Spinning through the number of different heads which represent the different aliens she could transform into. Trying to select which one she wanted to turn into. When she found one which she wanted, she smiled, and activated it.
She turned into a humanoid made of red pieces of what looked like heated stone or solid magma, with a more curvy figure and a slight more thrust on her cheast where he breasts would have been. A chunk with facial features was the head, allowing people to see what she was feeling and think. The flame between the pieces of stone was a brillaint magenta instead of the yellow in a normal Pyronite. The magenta energy also too the shape of a flame on her head which bent downwards in the kind of burning ponytail.
"Okay, is the colour change like Albedo? A defect of the device? Or is it something else?" asked Ben as she watched her.
"Decide to combine a few things to give it a signature to make sure I didn't blend in with the crowd. Unless I want to. There a function to make me look like all the other aliens instead of my special image of them. Let me test some things." she told them as two inanimate dummies were brought out.
She threw a violet fireball at a couple of them, which did the same kind of damage which Ben's Heatblast fireballs of the same size did. Or what was what she could figure out from what she had seen and what she had scry while watching the Tennysons. But for the next couple, she made a slight modification as she used her Uncle's spell.
"Berdi Mordo Nata!" she shouted as she then flung a beam of fire, which had increased in violence as the hit the dummies. She then continued, "That had to be more then double the spell when my Uncle casted it. That and it needed the Staff of Ages, which requires a master magician to use properly. So being alien must have boosted them enough to cast it without the aid of a magical artifact."
She had been talking both to herself and the watching audience. She was sure they were looking for the data they could from the mix of science and magic. She was interested as well. From the time she had tried to steal the Omnitrix from the ten year old Ben Tennyson, she was wondering how powerful the aliens could make her magic.
She then tried a few more aliens, first focusing on those with elemental powers. Earth, air, water, fire, plants and so on. Adding different spells which made use of those elements as well when she was in those forms. Each forms she changed into had an aspect of her signature colours of white, purple or magenta. Just to give her some style. In her mind, she figured all life did things like that to make them stand out.
Hitting and attacking the different dummies with her powers and powers-boosted spells, the remains were collected and likely recycled into more dummies. They always, however, had more. Which was not surprising given their technology.
