Pet Project
I don't own Digimon or Ben 10
"My fellow knights, we have lately endured a grave defeat," a man wearing a white lab coat and with a prominent scar over his right eye said to four Forever Knights who stood before him under a castle in a laboratory. "Our prisoner, the villainous dragon escaped from our grasp," he said as he pressed a button on a small device and images appeared behind the knights who turned to see Humungousaur with Conner and Squire, Kevin punching a Forever Knight, then the dragon and then the dragon's ship flying into space. "But does this mean we have lost? Do we now abandon our sacred duty?"
"No!" the knights shouted.
"Instead we must pursue the beast across the void. We must destroy it and its vile species once and for all," the scientist said which made the knights cheer. "And so to that end. I have built a starship, combining dozens of alien technologies we have acquired," he said as he pressed another button and lights shone to a heavily starship behind him. "And though its controls are too complex for human operation, I believe I have found a solution," he told the knights as he pressed another button and images of Ship controlling various devices appeared before an image of Ship appeared. "These recent phenomena are the work of a Galvan shape shifter, equal parts machine and beast. Able to assimilate and duplicate any device it encounters, with it we will create an armada of spacecraft which we can use to obliterate the dragon home world." He explained as a rather tall and broad Forever Knight walked up and lifted his visor.
"I'll catch your little blob for ya," he said.
"Beware Sir Morton, catching the creature will not be easy," the scientist told him.
"That's what makes my job all the more interesting don't it?" he asked. Meanwhile Daisuke was watching the TV in her bedroom with Glaciem and Veemon who was sleeping in a blue beanbag when she heard something tap the window, she looked over and smiled opening the window.
"Ship," Ship said.
"Where've you been?" Daisuke asked as Ship jumped into the room and hopped around.
"Ship, Ship, Ship," he said making Daisuke laugh.
"Yes, hello to you too," she greeted as Veemon woke up from his nap on the beanbag and he looked at Ship and yelped.
"What the heck is that!?" he shouted.
"This is Ship, we met when Ben and I were on our date at the pier," Daisuke explained to her partner. "Okay, Ship show me a new trick," she told Ship who jumped into the air and turned into a green and black toaster and fired toast into the air. "Great, anything else?" Daisuke asked and Ship jumped into the air and turned into a washing machine. "Good boy, good Ship. What else?" she asked and Ship jumped into the air and turned into a motorbike and revved its engine. "Change back," Daisuke told him and Ship turned back into normal but Daisuke saw tire tracks on her floor. "How am I gonna explain this to mama and daddy?" she asked before she heard a horn honk. "Gotta go, stay here. And Veemon be nice to Glaciem," she told her partner before running out of her room, Glaciem landed on Veemon's head and cooed at him making him frown.
"Get off me, my head is not a pillow!" he shouted waving his arms around and Glaciem jumped off his head and cooed sadly as Ship ran off after Daisuke and he saw her and Jun climbing into Kevin's car.
"Ready to go shopping?" Gwen who was already in the car asked the two girls.
"Not particularly," Daisuke answered.
"Come on sis, you need to start acting more your age," Jun said as she and Gwen shrieked.
"No shrieking in the car please," Kevin told them.
"No promises. Sometimes we're gonna shriek," Gwen said.
"Like you and Ben do when you watch the football," Daisuke told him.
"We do not shriek!" Kevin shouted before he realised he raised his voice. "Uh, shriek," he said lowering his voice.
"Uh huh," Daisuke said.
"Anyway I'll drop you off at the mall like I promised. But I'm not hanging around to watch you shop," Kevin told the girls.
"That's fine. You're not invited," Gwen told him, Kevin then drove off and Ship jumped onto the back of the car as it drove off and merged with the brake lights.
"And then Matt sent me an IM saying he missed me," Jun told Gwen.
"That is so sweet, don't you think that's sweet?" Gwen asked Kevin and Daisuke.
"Took the words out of my mouth," Kevin replied before he poked his tongue out.
"Where is Ben anyway?" Daisuke asked.
"He said he had homework to do," Gwen answered.
"On a Saturday?" Kevin asked not believing it, and sure enough Ben was at home watching a horror movie eating popcorn.
"More popcorn," he said looking down at his bowl.
"And McDuffie's is having a going out of business sale," Gwen told Jun who grinned as Kevin saw something approaching them and a laser bolt crashed into the ground and he swerved wildly.
"What the heck!?" Daisuke shouted as Sir Morton flew beside the car on a flying bike and he aimed a lance at the car and fired again but Kevin hit the brakes as a tire was punctured.
"Why is he shooting at us?" Jun asked.
"Bad guys always shoot us," Gwen answered as she made a mana shield in front of the two of them as Sir Morton fired again.
"Watch the paint, that's four coats!" Kevin shouted as he absorbed the metal from his car before Sir Morton fired at him knocking him back. Daisuke was enveloped in a flash of gold light and she turned into Jetray.
"Call Ben and get his ass over here now!" she told Gwen before flying towards Sir Morton, Gwen took out her cell phone and dialled Ben's number. Kevin grabbed a signpost and he threw it at Sir Morton knocking him off his bike and he crashed to the ground with a shield in his hand. Kevin ran at him as Morton stood up but he swung his shield knocking him back.
"Kevin!" Jun shouted as Jetray fired energy bolts at Morton who blocked with his shield.
"Nice kinetic phase shield, what is that a plester three model?" Kevin asked him.
"Well ain't you the observant one," Morton said before he held his hand out and his lance flew into his hand and he fired it at Kevin several times.
"Leave him alone!" Gwen shouted at him.
"Relax girlie, it's not your boyfriend I'm after," Morton told her as he walked over to his bike and pulled out three discs and threw them at Kevin's car and arched electricity around it.
"Again with the car!?" Kevin asked in shock as Jetray landed beside him and Ship emerged from the car and whimpered in pain.
"Ship!" Jetray shouted.
"Ship?" Gwen and Jun asked as Ship was thrown into a container which Morton attached to his bike and he flew off and Ship looked at Jetray just as Ben arrived on his moped.
"What happened?" he asked.
"That flying jerk in a can fried my car," Kevin answered.
"And then he took Ship," Jetray answered turning back into Daisuke.
"Ship!?" Ben asked shocked, and a few minutes later the gang were inside Kevin's car stuck in traffic except for Ben and Daisuke who were on Ben's moped speeding through the traffic.
"That guy is so paying for a new paint job," Kevin grumbled.
"Is that all you think about, you're car?" Jun asked him.
"No! Sometimes I think about food," Kevin answered.
"So how long has Ship been 'dropping' by?" Ben asked Daisuke as they moved through gaps in the traffic.
"Every once in a while. He comes and goes and shows me something new he's learned," she answered.
"Like what?" Ben asked.
"Turning into things," she answered.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Ben asked her.
"You said you wanted nothing to do with him," Daisuke told him.
"I didn't say that," Ben replied.
"Yes you did," Daisuke told him.
"Whatever. But why would the Forever Knights want to steal Ship?" Ben asked.
"He can turn into anything he touches. He's like a cup of instant weapon," Daisuke answered.
"Hey can you hurry it up?!" Kevin shouted at the driver of a truck his car was on.
"Sure, if you know how to fly," the driver replied. A short time later everyone was inside Kevin's garage and Kevin had just finished fixing his car.
"Okay, new paintjob and new tires," he said.
"I'm searching for his mana," Gwen said as she sat on the ground with her eyes closed.
"And?" Daisuke asked her.
"Nothing. Ship is technology, I have trouble tracking things that aren't alive," she answered.
"There's gotta be some way to find him," Ben said.
"Check this out. You said these Forever Knights are major English history geeks?" Jun asked as she showed a newspaper to her sister and Ben. "A new housing development. Lancelot Lake Estates," she said.
"If a man's home is his castle isn't it time you owned one," Ben read off the paper.
"Possible. But it's a long shot, let's go," Daisuke said and the others nodded and Kevin, Jun and Gwen climbed into Kevin's car while Ben and Daisuke climbed onto Ben's moped. Meanwhile Ship was bouncing around a sphere trying to escape.
"Scrappy little bloke ain't he?" Morton asked the scientist.
"Yes. But not incredibly bright," he answered as he pressed a button and the sphere shrunk until Ship's head was forced out of it and a device extended and placed a red chip on the back of his head. "Now you will do as I command," the scientist said as he pressed another button and the green on Ship turned red. Meanwhile Ben and Daisuke were silent as they rode towards where Ship was being held.
"And we're not talking because?" Ben asked her.
"Because I am upset with you for being upset with me about Ship," Daisuke answered.
"Dai, we're not talking about a poodle from the local pound," Ben told her.
"And that matter's because?" Daisuke asked him. "Look, this isn't about us. This is about a person who is incredibly mean to poor little Ship, and who obviously does not trust me!" she snapped and Ben.
"This isn't about trust, it's-," Ben said before he sighed. "You...mind if discuss this later?" he asked but Daisuke frowned at him. Soon both of them and the others pulled up outside a castle on top of hill overlooking the new housing development.
"This looks like something from a mini golf course," Jun said.
"Should we knock?" Kevin asked eagerly.
"Let's try the subtle approach for once," Daisuke told him. A few minutes later everyone peeked through a door when they heard a noise and turned to see Kevin guzzling a can of soda.
"What? I was thirsty," he said before opening the door all the way. "Whoa," he said looking to see four Forever Knights standing around the room not moving. The group walked in and Ben snapped his fingers in front of one of the knights but they remained motionless.
"Do these drapes really go with chainmail?" Jun asked.
"Well it works for us," Sir Morton said walking up holding a club which crackled with electricity and the four knights grabbed their clubs and fired bolts of electricity at everyone but Ben and Gwen made shields of mana defending everyone and Kevin punched Morton knocking him out and he absorbs the metal from his club. Daisuke was then enveloped in a gold flash of light and turned into Feedback who jumped over her friends and punched one knight sending him to the ground as the other three fired at her but her antenna absorbed the electricity and her hands crackled and she smirked and fired electricity at the knights knocking them down.
"Gwen, wrap this out," Feedback told her and Gwen held her hand out and the knights and Morton were lifted into the air and Gwen waved her hand and she threw the knights through a door and they rolled down a flight of stairs and Morton groaned.
"Most accidents do happen in the home," Kevin said as he and the others climbed down the stairs and saw the scientist standing there.
"You young people are so amusing," he told them.
"And you would be?" Ben asked him.
"Dr. Joseph Chadwick. Director of technology for the Forever Knights. And you are the meddler who freed our ancient enemy the dragon!" Chadwick shouted at Daisuke.
"I wouldn't say meddler," she replied. "Where's Ship?" she then asked.
"Ship? Oh is this what you mean?" Chadwick answered pressing a button on his remote and a light shone down onto Ship who had merged with the starship and he hovered and growled as laser sights pointed at Daisuke and the others and Morton and the Forever Knights stood beside Chadwick.
"Looks like an anterean obliterator. Nasty piece of work," Kevin said.
"How nasty?" Daisuke asked him.
"Fire!" Chadwick shouted and Ship fired at the group who dived out of the way.
"Stay outta the way nasty. Galvan disruptor pods, Arcturian plasers, Casio TN mass drivers, that thing's a flying arsenal," Kevin said.
"Fire! Fire! Fire!" Chadwick shouted and Ship fired all his weapons at the gang who ran off ducking behind cover and Kevin slipped just narrowly avoiding a laser blast and he absorbed the stone from the floor.
"Get behind me!" Gwen told him as she stood in front of Kevin and made a shield of mana as Ship fired at her and Gwen's shield shattered and she collapsed.
"Gwen!" Kevin shouted running up to her.
"Now I'm mad!" Daisuke shouted as she turned into Heatblast in a flash of gold light.
"Shoot it! Shoot it! Shoot it!" Kevin shouted frantically to her as he held Gwen in his arms, Heatblast made a fireball before she hesitated and instead made a wall of fire in front of the knights and Ship. "What was that!?" Kevin asked her.
"A compromise," Heatblast told him.
"What're you waiting for?" Chadwick asked Ship who shot flame retardant onto the wall of flame and he aimed his weapons at everyone.
"We're toast," Ben said.
"You are quite right. I have full control over the creature. My wish is its command," Chadwick said.
"This is like the movie I was watching, Brain stealers from…" Ben said.
"You said you were doing homework," Heatblast told him and the others shook their heads.
"Can we discuss this later?" Ben asked her.
"Well, Ship is part metal so a good shock to the head should wake him up. Time for Brainstorm!" Heatblast shouted as she was enveloped in a gold light and when it died down everyone looked to see a new alien similar to an earth dry cell, she was black with blue eyes with blue electricity arching around her hands, she had an icy blue lightning like line from where her neck was to where her legs started on her front and back and lastly she had a grey spot on her head. "Buzzshock!" the new alien exclaimed.
"A Nosedeenian?" Kevin asked.
"I'm sorry Ship, but this is for your own good," Buzzshock said with sadness as her whole body crackled with blue electricity and she fired it at Ship and made him scream in pain before the red on his body turned to green and he retracted all his weapons and turned back to normal and jumped towards Buzzshock who turned back to Daisuke and she caught Ship and hugged him.
"Shoot it, shoot it, shoot it?" Ben asked Kevin with a chuckle.
"It was a suggestion," Kevin replied.
"A suggestion we will be happy to take," Chadwick said as Ship growled and turned back into the ship and aimed his weapons at the knights. "Sir Morton, can you kindly tell your men to lower their weapons, please?" he begged.
"Sorry doc, it's time we took care of this thing. Even if we gotta go down with the bargain," Morton said as he and the knights fired their clubs at Ship and one knight ran down the stairs but was encased in ice as Jun turned into her Cryonite form, another knight aimed his club at her but Ben fired his blaster at him knocking him down. Ship then fired his main cannon at the knights.
"I don't like where this is going!" Kevin shouted as Ship fired missiles at Morton and he landed and opened a hatch where everyone ran inside and Ben fired his blaster at something and it exploded and the castle began to crumble as Ship took off and Morton ran off but Chadwick was trapped, Ship flew out of the castle which exploded.
"Good Ship, down boy!" Ben shouted as Ship flew through the sky at an incredible speed and Daisuke giggled making Jun look at her weirdly. Ship then landed in Daisuke's backyard and everyone was thrown out as Ship turned back to normal.
"Cool, our own spaceship," Kevin said.
"Why do we even need our own spaceship?" Gwen asked.
"You know for space stuff," Kevin answered.
"You mean I have my own spaceship," Daisuke corrected Kevin hugging Ship.
"Can we borrow him sometime?" Ben asked.
"Sure. If you help me walk him and play with him," Daisuke answered.
"Alright then, Ship go find a ball and we'll play catch," Ben told Ship who jumped into the air and turned into a massive ball and everyone ran off as Ship crashed into Ben. "Ow," he groaned.
