Good Copy, Bad Copy
I don't own Digimon or Ben 10
Several Forever Knights were running away from something, they ran across a drawbridge towards their castle. They ran inside and two more Forever Knights raised the drawbridge up hopefully cutting of whatever or whoever was chasing them. The knights stood in front of the door as the ground itself shook; one knight held his sword up and shook in fear. "Forever Knight!" a voice roared as Humungousaur who was at her full size smashed through the castle entrance and she chased the knights throwing some aside before she flicked one knight sending him smashing into a wall. "Answer me! Where is she!?" she shouted at the knight.
"Why ask what you already know? Are you testing us?" the knight asked in fear before Humungousaur grabbed him.
"I test your will to live," she told the knight. "Now for the last time..." she said before she was enveloped in a flash of golden light and turned back into Daisuke. "Where is Daisuke Motomiya?" she asked him. A few hours later Kevin and Gwen were in Kevin's car driving down the road with Gwen holding a empty soda can in her hands while her eyes glowed as did the can.
"Tracking Dai like this is weird, are you sure Kevin?" she asked him.
"Your idea. All I know is there is a lot of alien com traffic and Dai's name keeps coming up," Kevin answered.
"I'm getting something, make a left," Gwen told him and Kevin did so and soon they came upon a burning castle. "Whoa," Gwen simply said as she and Kevin climbed out of the car.
"Gwen, up there," Kevin said pointing to Jetray flying away.
"Dai! Hey!" Gwen called to her but she didn't reply. They then heard a groan and turned to see a Forever Knight on the ground with his helmet destroyed.
"Dai Ten has shown no mercy," he said as Gwen and Kevin ran up to him.
"What did you do?" Gwen asked him.
"Nothing. I swear upon my order. She's ruined three of our castles in as many days," the knight told them.
"First I've heard of it," Gwen said.
"They say at court that the cursed Daisuke Motomiya has even attacked a hive of DNAliens," the knight said before passing out.
"Dai attacked a whole hive? That's hard to believe," Kevin said.
"You mean she would never go on a mission like that on her own," Gwen said and Kevin nodded. "Why is she keeping secrets from us?" Gwen asked. Later that night at Daisuke's house she and Ben were sitting on her bed as Daisuke read a book on physics to Ben who tried to answer the questions correctly.
"Come on Ben, it's not that hard," she told Ben who was eating chilli fries which made Daisuke wrinkle her nose in disgust.
"I keep telling you Dai, it's my worst subject," Ben replied with his mouth full of chill fries.
"Nice work Motomiya, you're finally using the Omnitrix for what it was meant for. Clandestine butt kicking," Kevin said standing in the doorway before Gwen pushed past him.
"Pardon?" she asked.
"Nice try. We saw you as Jetray flying away from a battle," Gwen told her.
"Look, I've been helping Ben all week study for a physics test, it's his worst subject," Daisuke replied and Ben nodded.
"Maybe you're not helping him as much as you say and Ben's covering for you," Gwen said.
"Considering all the aliens we've ran into. There has to be any number of explanations for what you two saw," Ben said and Daisuke nodded.
"You can vouch for her?" Kevin asked Ben.
"Not really, I mean i got here a few hours ago, but maybe she could have gone out earlier," Ben answered.
"With Grandpa Max gone, we need to be open with each other. If you've got a secret you should spill it," Gwen told Daisuke.
"Look, I've been helping Ben to try and pass his physics test, otherwise his mother's gonna ground him, meaning no hero time for him and no time with me," Daisuke said.
"I believe her," Kevin said. "When you lie your lower lip trembles," he told Daisuke who held her lower lip. "But who knows, maybe you've been blacking out and sleep fighting," Kevin suggested.
"Is the Omnitrix making you attacking enemies in your sleep?" Gwen asked Daisuke.
"If we're going to do this, I'm gonna need a chilidog," she replied walking off. Later at Burger Shack Daisuke walked up the counter. "You disgust me, you, this miasma you call food. It's foul smelling, oily digestive preparation. Everything human reeks," she said.
"Yeah it's probably the onion," the cook said handing her a chilli dog and Daisuke put some money on the counter before she sniffed.
"All the same I find myself craving the entire putrid experience," she said biting into the chilidog. "It must be the DNA," she then walked off. A few seconds later another Daisuke walked up to the counter. "One chilidog please," she said.
"Careful kid, those double portions will catch up to you," the cook told her patting his stomach.
"Pardon?" Daisuke asked.
"Look, friendly advice. Take it or don't," the cook told her handing her a chilidog. Outside the Burger Shack, Ben and the others were inside Kevin's car waiting for Daisuke when they saw her exit.
"There she is," Ben said as Daisuke walked out and burped.
"I sicken myself," she said before she popped the dial of the Omnitrix and she slammed it down and turned into Big Chill and flew off.
"What the heck?" Kevin asked before he drove after Big Chill just as the other Daisuke walked out of Burger Shack.
"Guys!?" she shouted as the car sped off. Daisuke was then enveloped in a flash of gold light and she turned into XLR8 and sped off after the others. When Kevin, Gwen and Ben caught up to Big Chill they saw her fighting some more Forever Knights.
"Where is Daisuke Motomiya?" she asked before freezing a knight solid.
"Attack!" another knight shouted as he and several more Forever Knights ran at Big Chill and attacked her. Kevin, Gwen and Ben ran out of the car to help Big Chill out. Kevin punched a knight sending him falling into the moat surrounding the castle; Ben fired his blaster sending another knight crashing into the moat, Gwen grabbed another knight and with a hand made of mana and she threw him away as Big Chill froze the last of the Forever Knights.
"Dai are you okay? You kind of took off without us back at the diner," Ben said to Big Chill.
"You. You know of Daisuke, where is Daisuke?" Big Chill asked grabbing him.
"I knew you would snap eventually," Kevin said as Big Chill burped and Kevin sniffed. "Phew. Chilidog," he said.
"I agree," Big Chill said.
"Change back Dai, let's go home," Ben told her and Big Chill turned back into Daisuke.
"Yes it is I. Daisuke Motomiya, transport me Dai Ten to my domicile. There are grave matters of a personal nature that I Dai Ten must attend," Daisuke said as XLR8 skidded to a stop in front of the others.
"Thanks a lot you guys, you left me behind," she told them before she saw another Daisuke in front of her and she turned back into Daisuke. "And who is your good looking friend?" she asked as the other Daisuke walked up to her.
"Daisuke Motomiya?" she asked and Daisuke nodded. "A most difficult creature to find, I must speak to you at once. I am Albedo of the Galvan," she told Daisuke.
"A Greymatter? Kind of tall," Daisuke said looking at Albedo.
"I am the builder of the Omnitrix and I must have it back," Albedo told Daisuke holding her hand out. "Your days as Dai Ten are at an end,"
"Wait Albedo, I thought I had the only Omnitrix in existence. And besides a Galvan named Azmuth built it," Daisuke said.
"Azmuth is a liar." Albedo told her.
"But the DNAliens and the Highbreed, I'm supposed to save the world from them," Daisuke replied.
"The Omnitrix is incomplete and prone to catastrophic malfunctions," Albedo said and Daisuke raised an eyebrow and tapped her Omnitrix.
"Not lately," she said.
"You have great luck, else you would have ripped a hole in the fabric of the universe," Albedo told her.
"She could be a Highbreed trying to take the Omnitrix from you," Gwen told Daisuke.
"Show your true face, it feels weird talking to myself," Daisuke said to Albedo.
"If only I could. I am stuck in a sticky, sweaty, noisy, hungry, teenage human body, constantly craving chilidogs. This human body is unbearable!" she shouted.
"Hey! My body is one of the most attractive bodies there is," Daisuke said irritated by Albedo's comment.
"She's got that right," Ben said.
"I have to agree. Her body has developed more quickly than Gwen's has," Kevin said and Gwen's eye twitched at what Kevin said.
"As much as I would love to smack these two I have to agree. Dai's always been gifted in more ways than one," she said.
"Your DNA is encoded as the default of the Omnitrix, mine synchronises across space and time with yours. You have become my default as well," Albedo explained.
"Well which is it? Do you want the watch to fix it or to stop the universe from blowing up?" Kevin asked her.
"Both!" Albedo snapped.
"Since you created the Omnitrix, tell me how it comes off," Daisuke told her.
"Yes, I trust you are versed in the practical applications of eighth dimensional quantum gravity monopole equations," Albedo said and Daisuke saw her lower lip tremble.
"It really does tremble when I lie," she said.
"Told you," Kevin said and everyone frowned at Albedo.
"Very well. There are other ways to disarm you," she said before she slammed the dial of her Omnitrix down and she turned into Jetray who flew at Daisuke and grabbed her with her legs and she flew off with her but Daisuke was enveloped in a golden flash of light and she turned into Humungousaur and Jetray had to drop her due to her sheer mass, Humungousaur crashed into the moat and Jetray fried an energy blast from her eyes at Humungousaur but she jumped onto the castle wall and climbed up and then she was hit by a blast from Jetray.
"That stings," she said throwing a large chunk of rock at Jetray.
"You are not worthy to hold the Omnitrix," she said flying at Humungousaur and crashing into her sending debris flying.
"Touch something Kevin!" Ben told Kevin who picked up a sword and his arm was covered in metal.
"It will have to do," Kevin said.
"Give up! I'm better at this than you are," Humungousaur told Jetray whose eyes glowed blue but she was hit by a rock thrown by Kevin.
"What a crock," he said as Gwen created a sling out of mana and she threw a rock at Jetray while Ben fired his blaster at her, Jetray fired at the castle making rubble fall down towards the trio but Ben, Gwen and Kevin jumped out of the way and Jetray flew off.
"She can't get far. She left her mana all over the place," Gwen said, Daisuke then sped off in Kevin's car after Albedo while Gwen held a rock.
"An evil twin. I guess you are a superhero," Kevin told her.
"Yeah, who knows what Albedo could have done if we left her alone," Daisuke said.
"Turn here," Gwen told her and Daisuke turned and stopped outside a computer store where people were running out screaming in terror.
"Found her," Daisuke said as the four of them ran inside. "Let's split up and surround her,"
"How are we going to know which is the real you?" Ben asked as Kevin grabbed a marker and drew an X on Daisuke's cheek.
"We'll call you Dai X," Kevin said and Daisuke rubbed the mark off and she then walked away and the others went another way. Goop then seeped out from under a crate and turned back into Daisuke.
"Guys over here, I heard something," she told them as they walked up to her.
"Didn't you go the other way?" Ben asked her.
"Ah yes, I shouldn't have erased Kevin's mark," Daisuke answered and the others walked past her and Daisuke walked another way, another Daisuke walked into view.
"Hit the deck!" she shouted making the others look at Albedo who sprayed foam at them and they stuck to the wall.
"This reeks, she got us with packing foam, no leverage," Kevin said.
"Push," Gwen said as Albedo looked at Daisuke.
"Look Albedo, you're not getting my Omnitrix," she told her.
"I have all your powers, and a higher intellect. Surrender if you value your life," Albedo told her.
"Because that would be the smart thing to do," Daisuke said before she turned into Spitter in a flash of gold light and she spat slime at Albedo who jumped out of the way, she ran off as Spitter continued to spit slime at her which became acidic and melted everything it touched. Albedo slammed down the dial on her Omnitrix and turned into Humungousaur with a roar, she threw a large crate at Spitter who turned into Swampfire and she jumped out of the way.
"Here's mud in your eye," she said throwing mud at Humungousaur's face blinding her and she threw fireballs making her back up. Back with the others Gwen's eyes glowed and fired beams of mana at the foam.
"Ow! Hot!" Kevin shouted.
"Sorry," Gwen apologised as she kept firing beams of mana from her eyes. Humungousaur turned into Big Chill and turned intangible to avoid fireballs from Swampfire, she then breathed ice at Swampfire nearly encasing her when she turned into Brainstorm.
"Tremble before my might, you feckless facsimile," she said as her head plates opened and she fired electricity at Big Chill who turned into Feedback to absorb the electricity and she fired it back at Brainstorm who turned into Arctiguana and breathed a cloud of ice at Feedback encasing her in a block of ice, Feedback then turned into Heatblast and melted the ice and shot fireballs at Arctiguana who jumped away and turned back into Daisuke before turning into her Cryonite form and she shot an ice beam at Heatblast sending her back and extinguished her flames before she turned into Spidermonkey and fired webs at Daisuke and stuck her to a wall where Spidermonkey jumped onto her.
"You cannot win, yield," she said punching Daisuke in the face. "Yield," she punched her again. "Yield!" she shouted punching Daisuke again who head butted Spidermonkey sending her to the ground and Daisuke freed herself and turned back to normal as did Spidermonkey. "I don't need an Omnitrix to defeat you," Albedo told her as she went to punch her and Daisuke did the same and their Omnitrixs passed each other and locked together.
"What's going on?" Daisuke asked.
"Their proximity is creating a bio-energy feedback," Albedo answered as both fell to the ground and tried to pry their Omnitrixs apart which both sparked green and gold electricity and Albedo's hair turned grey and her eyes turned red, her jeans turned black, her gold tank top turned silver, her leather jacket turned red with black streaks on it and her belt buckle turned red as well.
"No confusing those two now," Kevin said.
"You have damaged this form," Albedo told Daisuke.
"Tell me how to get these apart," Daisuke told her.
"Maybe if you died!" Albedo shouted.
"Don't tempt me," Daisuke told her.
"Great, now we're all trapped," Kevin said as Ben struggled and he managed to break free of the packing foam with a mana blast and he freed the other two and they all ran towards Daisuke and Albedo who pulled their Omnitrixs apart when a bright flash of green light appeared between them.
"He's here," Albedo said in fear.
"Who?" Gwen asked her.
"Azmuth," Albedo answered as Azmuth appeared.
"You bet he is. Azmuth of the Galvan, the true genius behind the Omnitrix. You've overloaded the thing so bad I could sense it half a galaxy away. Those nonstop transformations are gonna break it," he said to Daisuke.
"But I was..." Daisuke said.
"Save it Daisuke, I know. Albedo my former assistant built an inferior copy. I warned you that there could only be one Omnitrix," Azmuth told her. "You ignored me,"
"Someone's in trouble," Kevin said.
"I will not leave the fate of the universe to a human. If my Omnitrix will not work, I will have hers instead," Albedo said.
"I told you, the Omnitrix is beyond you. You could have doomed us all," Azmuth told her.
"So the universe was doomed?" Daisuke asked him.
"If you lost the Omnitrix yes. Albedo only wanted it to restore his original form," Azmuth answered her.
"I can bear staying in this form; its biology is driving me mad!" Albedo shouted.
"Be thankful you are stuck in Daisuke's body. It could have been worse; you could have been stuck in Ben Tennyson's body," Azmuth told her.
"My body isn't that bad," Ben complained before he sniffed his armpit. "Okay, maybe you're right," he said.
"Albedo, for your arrogant act of rebellion, you have proven yourself a lesser being," Azmuth said jumping onto Albedo's arm and he pulled the dial to her Omnitrix out. "You shall remain as you are, in a prison of your own choosing," he told her.
"You can't!" Albedo said falling to her knees.
"I have," Azmuth told her.
"I hate you!" Albedo shouted as she was teleported away.
"She won't bother you again," Azmuth told Daisuke who walked up to him and he jumped on Daisuke's shoulder. "You alone have made the Omnitrix a force for good, in ways I could never imagine. I still believe you are the only one worthy to wield it," he told her. "And I'm not the only one who thinks that," he said with a smile.
"Who else thinks that?" Daisuke asked him.
"My business, consider it a surprise. There are difficult trials ahead, be ready," Azmuth told her as he vanished.
"The first trial is Ben's physics test, in about three hours," Gwen said and Ben groaned. The next day outside Mr Smoothy Ben showed the others his test which had a B- on it.
"And you thought I wasn't studying," he said.
"I knew you could do it," Daisuke told him and he smiled at her. "Anyway, I feel bad for Albedo; I can't believe Azmuth didn't let her change back. Being me isn't so bad," she said.
"Why both with a cell? This human body is prison enough," Albedo said as she was now sitting inside a prison cell inside the Null Void.
"Dinner," A guard said tossing in a single stick which she picked up.
"But someday I will be free. And they will all pay, starting with Daisuke Motomiya. But until that day..." she said throwing the stick at the wall. "Bring me a chilidog!" she shouted.
