Unearthed
I don't own Digimon or Ben 10
Something groaned as it opened its eyes and ripped off the remains of a door to what looked like a pod, the smallest of three and something walked towards a door which opened up and it jumped down and walked past some DNAliens which were mining crystals. One DNAlien was operating a giant drill when it hit something and backed up. "It's not one of our ships, sir. The workers found it," a DNAlien told another one as both looked at a spaceship trapped in the rock.
"The excavation proceeds as planned. The Highbreed have so ordered, nothing will stand in our way," the other DNAlien replied.
"As you say sir," the other DNAlien said as the drill started up again and started to tunnel as the creature from the ship looked at its reflection to reveal it was a giant green alien who grunted.
"You, you and you get some heavier equipment down into the mine," a DNAlien told three DNAliens who stood beside a busted drill machine, the three DNAliens ran off to do as ordered. Meanwhile another DNAlien was drilling against the hull of the ship when the drill bit snapped off, the DNAlien tossed the drill down and it landed beside three more broken drills and the DNAlien picked up another drill and began to drill again. The alien meanwhile was watching the DNAliens drilling into the ship and it grabbed a nearby glowing object and ripped it off and the lights dimmed and the drill stopped moving.
"The power coupling's gone bad," a DNAlien said.
"No sir. The couplings missing," another DNAlien said and sure enough the strange alien was carrying the power coupling in its hands and it left the cave where it saw the lights of Bellwood in the distance and it ran off, it jumped off the cliff and ran towards the city. Soon it was on a road where a car pulling a trailer approached before it screeched to a halt. The alien walked towards the car and it ripped the trailer off and the car sped off, the alien then proceeded to empty the trailer and it threw the power coupling into the trailer and it walked off pulling the trailer behind it as it walked towards Bellwood soon it was waiting in front of a traffic light with the trailer it was pulling full of stuff, it looked at the traffic light and pulled it down and saw the light die and it whined before throwing it to the ground and it stomped on it before walking off. A few hours later, Gwen whose eyes were glowing and she was floating through the air with the broken traffic light glowing as well and Kevin and Ben inside Kevin's car while Daisuke was on her bike beside them.
"I'm definitely getting something. The mana trail is getting stronger and stronger," Gwen said.
"You said two hours ago Gwen!" Kevin called to her.
"Trying to concentrate here!" Gwen shouted back.
"Let her work," Ben told him.
"For what? It's a wild goose chase," Kevin replied.
"I doubt it. All those reports about a monster wandering around wrecking stuff," Ben said.
"Doesn't mean it's DNAliens Ben, it could have been a bear that escaped from a zoo," Kevin said.
"There's been no reports of missing animals from any zoo in the entire state," Daisuke told him.
"It must be a DNAlien, what else could be strong enough to rip down a traffic light?" Ben asked.
"And DNAliens are mad at the traffic lights why?" Kevin asked him back.
"I don't know, but…" Ben said.
"Hold up guys. I've definitely got something," Gwen told the others as she stopped floating and the traffic light dropped to the ground and she looked around.
"Over there," Daisuke whispered pointing towards the giant green alien who was still dragging the trailer and it grabbed a cactus and screamed and started to cry as its hand was covered in needles, the alien snarled in anger as it ripped up the cactus and ate it before spitting and gagging as it's tongue was covered in needles, the alien then picked up the power coupling from the trailer.
"Drop it!" Ben shouted as he and Kevin ran up to it and it threw the power coupling at them and both rolled to the side.
"To be fair you did tell him to drop it," Kevin told him as the alien walked past Kevin and Ben and it picked up the power coupling and cooed.
"He doesn't look like a DNAlien," Ben said.
"But that's Highbreed tech though so maybe he is working for them," Kevin suggested as Ben walked towards the trailer.
"What's he trying to build with all that stuff?" he asked picking up something from the trailer and this made the alien turn around and it roared as it ran up to Ben and slammed the power coupling into the ground narrowly missing Ben. "We don't want to hurt you, drop the weapon and give yourself up," Ben told the alien as Kevin absorbed some rock.
"You're gonna have to read him his rights first Tennyson, just take him out!" he shouted as he ran and jumped into the air and he punched the alien in the face making it stumble, Kevin ran up and jumped into the air but the alien swatted him away and he skidded across the ground. Ben sighed and activated his Exo-suit which covered his body and the alien ran towards Ben and grabbed him in a bear hug. "Aw. I think he wuvs you," Kevin teased him.
"So not funny," Ben said as he wiggled out of the aliens grip and he punched it sending it skidding across the ground and the alien began to cry. "Oh, come on. I didn't hit you that hard," Ben told the alien as it saw a crystal and picked it up and chuckled.
"He's going for a weapon!" Kevin shouted and Ben ran towards the alien.
"Don't have much of an attention span do you?" he asked swatting the crystal out of the alien's hand and it growled in anger, it shoved Ben back as Kevin ran up and punched the alien sending it flying and it ran off. "He's getting away!" Ben shouted running after the alien who grabbed a roadside guardrail and it wrapped it around Ben trapping him, Ben struggled and he broke free shocking the alien and it ran off when a wall of ice appeared in front of it.
"We leave you guys alone for five minutes," Daisuke said as she and Gwen ran up to Ben and Kevin, the alien ran away and three slabs of mana landed in front of it and the alien looked down at Daisuke and Gwen and saw Gwen in her Anodite form and Daisuke in her Cryonite form and it began to grumble and coo.
"Is that monster for I give up?" Kevin asked.
"How should I know?" Ben asked him.
"It's calming down, I think the fights over," Gwen said as the alien smashed through the mana barrier and grabbed both Gwen and Daisuke.
"Gwen!" Kevin shouted.
"Dai!" Ben shouted.
"Let them go!" Kevin shouted but Ben stopped him.
"Don't. It'll squash them," he warned Kevin.
"We don't want to be squashed," Daisuke said as she frowned at the alien. "Put us down. Now!" she demanded and the alien grumbled and it put Daisuke and Gwen down. "Thank you," Daisuke told the alien.
"You hit him high, I'll hit him low!" Kevin told Ben who nodded and both ran towards the alien but Gwen made a wall of mana stopping them.
"Don't hurt it. It's just a baby," she told them.
"He was trying to squash you two pretty hard Gwen," Kevin said as the alien bit the power coupling like a baby.
"No. She's right," Ben said as his Exo-suit retracted. "All that random stuff it stole from around town, he's not building anything with it,"
"She thinks they're toys," Daisuke said as the alien spun the power coupling around like a top and it chuckled and clapped.
"What makes you think it's a girl?" Ben asked.
"Yeah. If it were a girl wouldn't it have a pink bow on the side of its head?" Kevin asked.
"You didn't pay much attention in health class, did you?" Daisuke asked him as the alien crossed its arms and it crawled off.
"Listen we can't waste time babysitting this thing," Ben said.
"She needs our help. We can't leave her wandering around the desert," Gwen told him.
"Needs our help?" Kevin asked as the alien stacked boulders on top of each other and it clapped happily.
"Come on you two focus, we're on a mission of intergalactic proportions. This creature has nothing to do with that," Ben told Daisuke and Gwen as DNAliens on flying carts flew towards them.
"There's the creature and there is our power coupling," a DNAlien said.
"We should have known you would be working with this creature Daisuke Motomiya," a DNAlien told Daisuke before spitting gunk at her but Gwen made a shield of mana defending her and the DNAliens kept spitting gunk at the mana shield and the alien looked at Daisuke and Gwen before it grabbed one DNAlien and threw it far away and it crashed into a cliff.
"Uh….thanks," Ben told the alien who ran towards the DNAliens who spat gunk at her and trapped her arms and the alien roared in anger, Daisuke turned into her Cryonite form and froze a DNAlien while Gwen fired a mana blast freeing the alien as Kevin picked up the power coupling.
"Looking for this?" he asked and the DNAliens and the alien looked at him. "Oh nuts," he said as the DNAliens ran towards him. "Keep away!" he shouted tossing the power coupling to Gwen who caught it.
"Dai! Heads up!" she shouted tossing the power coupling towards Daisuke who turned into Four Arms and she caught it and ran off, a DNAlien spat gunk at her foot sticking it in place.
"Retrieve the power coupling, we will deal with the thief later," a DNAlien said, the DNAliens ran towards Four Arms who swung the power coupling and she hit three DNAliens sending them flying as another DNAlien jumped onto her back and she grabbed it with one of her free arms and she tossed it into the air and swung the power coupling and hit the DNAlien sending it flying like a baseball. Four Arms then turned back into Daisuke who pulled her foot free from the gunk and the alien held its hands out.
"Okay. Here you go," she said handing the power coupling to the alien who took it and waved it around like a rattle.
"We got trouble. If the DNAliens need that power coupling they will be back in force," Kevin said.
"Not to mention I have no idea what we should do about that," Ben said pointing at the alien who was chewing on the power coupling.
"Her," Daisuke and Gwen said.
"Whatever," Ben replied.
"Well, are you just gonna stand around arguing about it or do you want to help us hide her?" Daisuke asked him.
"I'd like to keep standing around," Ben replied with a smile.
"And I'd like to keep arguing about it," Kevin said making Daisuke and Gwen frown at them. "If you don't want to know, don't ask," Kevin told them. Soon once the sun had risen everyone was inside Kevin's garage as the alien was throwing a tantrum.
"You're turn," Ben told Daisuke.
"It's always mine or Gwen's turn," Daisuke replied.
"You're the one who wanted to help it," Kevin said.
"Her," Gwen, Daisuke and Ben told him.
"Do I look like I care?" he asked them as the alien picked up Kevin's car and bit into it. "What're you doing!?" Kevin shouted.
"Don't put that in your mouth you don't know where it's been," Daisuke told the alien who dropped Kevin's car and Kevin ran up to see a giant chunk of the front end missing and the alien burped.
"That's it! Out!" Kevin shouted at the alien.
"She's just a baby! She didn't know!" Gwen told Kevin.
"Gwen, much as I hate siding with Kevin, Tiny has to go back where she came from," Ben said.
"You weren't planning on keeping her were you?" Kevin asked her.
"Doesn't matter. We're stuck with her until nightfall," Daisuke said.
"What!? No! Get her out of here while I still have some car left!" Kevin shouted.
"If we take her outside during the day, she'll be a big moving target for the DNAliens and for everyone else in town," Ben said as Tiny walked off.
"I don't think she can see so well in the sunlight anyway," Gwen said as Tiny smashed into something.
"That would explain why it only rampaged at night," Ben said.
"She," Kevin told him.
"Alright. Once night falls we'll get Tiny to lead us to where she came from," Gwen said.
"She will be safer there," Ben told her as Tiny smashed something else.
"Come on!" Kevin shouted in despair.
"I'll buy you a new one," Gwen told him. Later that night Tiny was leading the others back to the cave where she had come from and three DNAliens were standing in the entrance and Tiny growled and she ran up and swung the power coupling and hit the three DNAliens knocking them out cold, Tiny then ran off into the cave and the others followed her, the group then hid behind a pillar as they saw DNAliens walk past them.
"Look," Daisuke said pointing to Tiny's ship.
"Looks homey," Kevin said before he looked at Tiny. "I guess this is goodbye. Have a nice life," he told her but Tiny looked at him. "Worth a shot," he said as Tiny ran off and the others followed her and soon they were outside the ship and they saw the DNAliens powering up a laser and Tiny walked off.
"You two guard the door, we're going in," Daisuke told Ben and Kevin before running off with Gwen.
"Be careful," Ben told them, Daisuke and Gwen ran into the ship where they saw Tiny sitting in front of the three pods and it placed the power coupling on the ground with all the other stuff she had taken.
"Were you inside one of those pods?" Daisuke asked Tiny who nodded and grunted and growled.
"Parents? I bet your parents are still inside their pods," Gwen said looking at the other two pods as the ship shook.
"Whoa!" Daisuke exclaimed as a DNAlien had caused a landslide.
"Oh my mark, ready, aim…." Another DNAlien said.
"Gwen!" Kevin shouted in worry as the DNAlien fired the energy weapon at the ship but XLR8 sped out of the ship and then was enveloped in a gold flash of light and she turned into Chromastone and she blocked the attack making all the DNAliens nearby look at her, Chromastone fired the absorbed energy at the DNAliens knocking them all down and more DNAliens in the cave charged, Kevin absorbed the metal from the ship and Ben activated his Exo-suit and he jumped into the air and delivered a flying kick to a DNAlien sending it flying while Kevin punched two DNAliens sending them flying, Kevin then ripped up some of the rock floor and he tossed it at some of the DNAliens.
"What are they all doing down here!?" Ben asked punching a DNAlien.
"Besides trying to clean our clocks?" Kevin asked him throwing another rock at a DNAlien, Tiny then ran out of the ship and roared loudly.
"Fire!" another DNAlien shouted and the DNAlien operating the laser fired at Tiny and she roared in pain as Gwen ran out.
"No!" she shouted.
"Leave the kid alone!" Chromastone shouted as she jumped in the path of the laser and redirected it towards the machine and it exploded sending it crashing down a cliff. Gwen fired mana discs at the DNAliens before she jumped onto a platform made of mana and fired more mana blasts at the roof of the cave and it started to collapse around the DNAliens making them scream and retreat.
"Wow," Kevin said.
"Something to consider when you get into an argument with her," Ben told Kevin. A few minutes later everyone was inside the ship in front of the three stasis pods.
"What was she trying to do with all this junk?" Chromastone asked.
"When she woke up and her parents weren't around she toddled outside and brought back stuff she hoped would help," Gwen answered.
"I think I got the stasis pods control panel working," Kevin told the others.
"Good. Wake them up," Ben said and Kevin nodded as he pressed a button and the stasis pods opened up and Tiny's parents growled and walked out to their daughter and reunited happily.
"Well, what do ya know," Kevin said and a few minutes later Tiny was waving the power coupling around like a rattle while her parent sat in chairs talking to Ben, Daisuke, Gwen and Kevin.
"What do you mean this isn't Alpha Proxima?" Tiny's father asked.
"And it's not 1952?" Tiny's mother asked before Tiny cooed. "Yes dear, I can see you," she told her daughter.
"It's the 21st century," Daisuke told them.
"You're on earth," Kevin said.
"In the earth actually," Gwen said.
"What are you doing underground in the first place?" Ben asked them.
"We were travelling to the other side of your galaxy to colonize in suspended animation for the journey," Tiny's father answered.
"But some kind of temporal inclusion occurred while we were flying by the Earth that must have caused us to crash land here," Tiny's mother said.
"In 1952. There was a time machine experiment that year, it must have effected your ship," Daisuke said.
"And when you crashed your ship caused a hole in the ground," Kevin told them.
"Which filled in over time," Gwen added.
"We've been asleep underground for half a century?" Tiny's father asked standing up and walking to the window.
"The DNAliens just happened to find your ship when they were drilling down here," Ben said.
"Lucky you," Kevin told them.
"I can't imagine what someone would need this much crystal quarts for. Maybe a teleporter grid?" Tiny's father suggested as Tiny looked at Daisuke and Gwen and babbled.
"No honey, you can't keep them," her mother told Tiny.
"Earthlings need to roam free," her father said and Tiny pouted.
"What I don't get is why the translators in our Plumber's badges and Daisuke's Omnitrix didn't work on Tiny, but I understand you two just fine," Kevin said.
"Our daughter can't talk yet. She's just a baby," Tiny's mother explained to him.
"Told you," Daisuke said with a grin as she and Gwen walked over to Tiny who handed them the power coupling.
"That's alright Tiny, you keep it," Daisuke told her and Gwen nodded making Tiny smile. A few minutes later Daisuke, Kevin, Ben and Gwen were outside the cave as Tiny's ship flew out of the cave and flew into the sky.
"Gwen….Dai…." Tiny said making her mother gasp.
"Baby's first words," she said.
"I wonder what they mean," Tiny's father said as the ship flew off and Tiny waved looking back at Earth.
