Singlehanded
I don't own Digimon or Ben 10
Spidermonkey was swinging through the city as fast as she could, she looked behind her to see if she was being followed and she shot more web from her tail and she swung behind a Mr Smoothy billboard and breathed heavily as she caught her breath. Something then crashed through the billboard and Spidermonkey screeched as she back flipped away just before a chunk of the billboard fell down and a hulking, humanoid alien, with grey skin flying a glider which looked like the Green Goblins came through the smoke. The alien also wore a black overall outfit with red trim; the alien had white hair and a scar on his left eye. "The Omnitrix where is it?" the alien asked Spidermonkey who shot web at his face and she swung off to another building.
"Green watch thingy, hourglass symbol, turns you into all kinds of super power aliens?" she asked as the alien ripped the web off his face.
"Yes!" he answered.
"Never heard of it," Spidermonkey replied slyly before she climbed up the building and ran off and the alien followed her.
"Do not toy with me, I know you have the Omnitrix, I've tracked its energy signature here," he said holding up a scanner.
"Cool. Where'd you get that?" Spidermonkey asked shooting web at it and she snatched it but the alien swung a massive axe with an energy blade at the web and he cut it.
"I am Sunder, finder of rare and precious objects," the alien now know as Sunder said as he chased Spidermonkey across the rooftops and he fired a net from his glider which flew and entangled Spidermonkey and she fell off the rooftops and she crashed into an alleyway and Sunder followed her.
"Really? You carry an axe and your name is Sunder?" she asked as she was enveloped in a gold flash of light and she transformed into Humungousaur who broke out of the net and she snarled at Sunder. She then punched him sending him into a wall. Humungousaur turned back into Daisuke and she walked off but not before Sunder jumped in front of her and swung his axe down and Daisuke lifted her arm up and the axe hit the Omnitrix and a bright flash of light occurred and when it died down Daisuke was gone. "What happened?" Daisuke asked groggily as she opened her eyes and sat up and she looked around. "I'm in the Null Void!?" she shouted just as a Wigsilian Org Beast appeared and it ran towards her with a roar. "Questions later, time to go..." Daisuke said before she saw her left hand with the Omnitrix was missing. "My hand! Where's my hand?" she asked as the Org Beast got closer to her.
"The Omnitrix will fetch me a pretty penny," Sunder said back on Earth as he picked up Daisuke's hand and he flew off on his glider laughing victoriously. Meanwhile Daisuke was running from the Org Beast when she remembered something and she face-palmed.
"Man, I forgot," she mumbled before she was enveloped in a gold flash of light and she transformed into Four Arms, the Org Beast roared as it lunged at her but she grabbed it and threw it over a cliff and it roared as it fell. Four Arms then turned back into Daisuke and pumped her left arm before she remembered her hand was missing. "This is weird, even for me," she said.
Back on Earth, Daisuke's hand crawled up Sunder's back and then poked him in the shoulder making him turn around and then it jumped and poked him in both eyes making him shout in pain as he crashed his glider into a building and then he crashed into the ground, Daisuke's hand then crawled away from Sunder and walked down the side of the road. Daisuke then yelped as her left arm moved around on its own. "Okay, what the heck is my hand doing?" she asked as she was pulled off, her hand meanwhile had entered the park and was walking down the path when a dog barked and began to chase it, her hand then sped off as fast as it could and it climbed a tree and walked along the branches of the tree. Jun meanwhile was sitting on a bench reading a magazine with Glaciem wearing an ID mask so she looked like a five year old girl, Daisuke's hand then jumped down towards them but the dog jumped and caught the hand and walked off with it.
"What?" Jun asked herself looking back at the dog as did Glaciem.
"Why does my hand feel like dog slobber?" Daisuke asked back in the Null Void as she ran from three Vulpimancers. Meanwhile two boys were throwing a Frisbee around when the dog with Daisuke's hand in its mouth walked past them.
"What have you got there boy?" one of the two boys asked the dog, Daisuke meanwhile was wading through a foul smelling pool of water.
"This reeks, but it should hide my scent from those Vulpimancers," she said as she hid behind a rock and sure enough when the trio of Vulpimancers looked down into the water and sniffed they couldn't find Daisuke's scent and they walked off. Daisuke sighed in relief before her left arm started to move around on its own. "Not again!" she shouted.
"Give it! I said give it. Bad dog," the boy said as he tried to pull Daisuke's hand out of the dog's mouth.
"Hey boy, you want a nice candy bar?" the other boy asked taking out a candy bar and he waved it around, the dog released Daisuke's hand and the boy threw the candy bar away and the dog barked as it chased after the snack. Both boys then looked at Daisuke's hand and one of them picked it up.
"Cool, what do you think it does?" he asked the other boy who fiddled around with the Omnitrix.
"I don't know," he answered as an image of Big Chill appeared.
"Should we be messing around with it?"
"I don't know," he answered and he tapped the dial and the hand turned into Big Chill's.
"Cool," both boys said, meanwhile Daisuke was enveloped in a gold flash of light and she transformed into Big Chill.
"Big Chill?" she asked herself before she turned and fired a beam of ice from her hand at the Vulpimancers and they were encased in a block of ice before it shattered and the Vulpimancers ran towards her. "Okay, ice doesn't work, but what about..." she trailed off as she was enveloped in another flash of gold light and she turned into Swampfire and she sent a stream of fire in front of her making the Vulpimancers back up. "This should hold them off," she told herself. Meanwhile the two boys saw Big Chill's hand turn into Swampfire's which then shot a stream of fire into the air making the two boys scream and run away. "Shoo, shoo!" Swampfire shouted at the Vulpimancers but they jumped over the fire and one of them bit her hand and tore it off. "Ow!" she shouted. "I'm already down one hand," she said as her hand regrew. "Why can't my other hand do that?" she asked looking at her left arm as the Vulpimancers ran towards her. "Sorry boys got to fly," she said and she was enveloped in a gold flash of light and she turned into Stinkfly and she flew off. "Alright, I need to find Uncle Max's old place, there is bound to be some Plumber tech still there to get me back home...that is sort of a plan," she said flying off.
Meanwhile back on Earth, Glaciem was walking through the park when she felt something grab her leg and she screamed and Jun ran up to see Stinkfly's hand on Glaciem's leg. "Hands off!" she shouted stomping on the hand and it turned back into Daisuke's hand making Jun and Glaciem gasp.
"Come on don't run out of power on me now!" Daisuke shouted back in the Null Void as she fell towards some jagged rocks but a Null Guardian flew in and grabbed her with its tentacles and she sighed in relief. "At least I'm alive," she said before slobber from the Null Guardian's maw fell on her head. "Disgusted, but alive," she said. Meanwhile back on Earth, Glaciem picked up Daisuke's hand and looked at it.
"Mommy?" she asked worried as Jun kneeled beside her.
"Let's find Gwen, Ben and Kevin. They might know what to do," she told her and Glaciem nodded. A few minutes later both of them were inside Kevin's garage with Kevin laughing hysterically.
"It's not funny Kevin!" Ben shouted.
"Sorry, sorry. Okay," Kevin replied as he looked at Daisuke's hand again before he laughed even harder, Glaciem growled and she kicked him in the shin making him stop laughing and he held his leg. Gwen's eyes glowed as did Daisuke's hand.
"It's Daisuke's hand alright. But I can't find her, she could be anywhere. If she is still alive," she said sadly.
"See that energy surge?" Kevin asked pointing to the end of Daisuke's hand. "Classic sign of dimensional displacement," he explained.
"Which means what?" Jun asked.
"Dai's fine. The rest of her body is just someplace else," Kevin answered as he walked to the trunk of his car. "I had the same thing happen to me when I tried to use a refurbished personal force field belt, I spent three hours with my nose in another dimensions," he explained opening the trunk of his car. "Aren't you going to ask me how I smelled?" Kevin asked.
"Terrible, just like your joke," Ben told him with a frown.
"Relax. I got some stuff in here that I can put together to create a retrieval beacon generator. Give me a second," Kevin replied.
"I don't think we have that long," Gwen said and Kevin looked at her to see her point at Sunder who was flying towards them and Kevin groaned.
"Great. Sunder the Retriever," he said.
"You know him?" Jun asked as Kevin put some alien tech on a table.
"He deals in one of a kind artefacts, wonder what he wants here," Kevin said.
"Duh," Ben said pointing at the Omnitrix.
"Right. Keep him busy so I can get Daisuke back," Kevin said and Ben nodded as he ran towards Sunder who jumped off his glider and Ben fired Diamondhead shards at Sunder who swung his axe and destroyed the shards, Ben then threw a fireball from his Swampfire arm and it hit Sunder in the chest making him stumble, he then roared and punched Sunder in the face sending him flying. Meanwhile back in the Null Void Daisuke wiggled her arm free and she punched the tentacles wrapped around her and the Null Guardian let her go and she fell down and rolled down a hill and landed on the bridge leading to Max's old place.
"Why does everything have to be slimy?" she asked wiping the slobber of her head.
"Kevin, how much longer until you make that thing?" Ben asked as Sunder ran back and jumped into the air and swung his axe down and Ben caught it with his four arms.
"A few more minutes," Kevin answered as Sunder jumped over Ben and ran towards Daisuke's hand but Jun got in front of him and she turned into her Cryonite form.
"Where is my sister!?" she asked Sunder as she jumped and kicked Sunder in the chest sending him back.
"Don't know. Don't care. I just want the Omnitrix," Sunder told her as he swung his axe down at her and she rolled to the side and Sunder saw the Omnitrix on a bench. "Ah ha," he said walking towards Daisuke's hand but Glaciem pulled off her ID mask and she grabbed her mother's hand and she turned intangible and flew through Sunder who was encased in a block of ice but he broke out of it with a roar and he swung his axe down at Glaciem but Gwen jumped in the way and made a shield of mana to block the axe and it shattered.
"Kevin, can you work faster!?" Gwen asked him.
"I can buy time," Kevin said as his stone arm grew in size and he ran up and punched Sunder sending him flying into a lamppost and he passed out.
"He's down," Jun said.
"But he won't be down for long. I can't build this thing and protect you pretty ladies at the same time," Kevin said.
"This lady can handle herself," Gwen told him.
"Same here," Jun said.
"But she needs a weapon," Ben said pointing at Glaciem who cooed and held up Daisuke's hand. "Actually, that will work," he said.
"So you're saying she wants to hold her mommy's hand?" Kevin asked and everyone looked at him.
"Not funny," Gwen told him.
"It could come in handy," Kevin said.
"You done?" Jun asked him with a frown.
"Yeah. I'm out," Kevin answered as Sunder roared and ran back towards them.
"But he's not," Gwen said before looking at Glaciem. "Quick, turn into Humungousaur," she told her.
"Are you nuts Swampfire," Kevin said as Glaciem cycled through the aliens confused.
"Humungousaur!" Gwen shouted as she made a mana shield to block Sunder's axe.
"Swampfire!" Kevin shouted.
"Humungousaur!" Gwen shouted again blocking another strike from Sunder's axe.
"Swampfire!" Kevin shouted again as Glaciem slammed down the dial and Daisuke's hand turned into Feedback's hand and began shooting electricity at Sunder making him back up.
"Feedback's good," Ben said, meanwhile Feedback was walking along the bridge towards Max's old dwelling when her left arm began shaking wildly and electricity shot out of her arm and hit the bridge which then began to crumble.
"Oh man!" she shouted running back the way she came and the bridge gave out from under her and she fell. She was then enveloped in a flash of gold light and she turned into Goop and her anti-gravity disc gathered her up and took her to the other side of the chasm and she turned back into Daisuke who panted heavily as she laid on her back. Meanwhile back in the garage, Sunder's scanner began beeping again and he saw Daisuke's hand.
"The Omnitrix, at last!" he said running towards it but Gwen sent a mana platform towards the hand and carried it off and Jun grabbed it.
"Keep it away from the big ugly guy!" she shouted tossing it towards Glaciem.
"Hey!" Ben and Kevin shouted.
"She meant the one with the axe," Gwen said as Glaciem handed her Daisuke's hand and Gwen threw it to Jun who caught it and Sunder ran towards her and then Jun threw it into the air and Gwen sent a mana slide towards it and she caught it.
"Kevin how much longer?" Ben asked Kevin who was welding something.
"Almost done!" Kevin shouted.
"Good. We're nearly out of garage," Ben replied as he caught Daisuke's hand and swung his tail sending Sunder back. Meanwhile Daisuke was walking towards Max's old base trying to control her jerking hand.
"Just a bit further, I just need to control my hand for a moment," she said walking off. "Come on Uncle Max, there has to be something that you left behind that I could..." she trailed off walking into Max's old hideout to see Havok Beasts wrecking everything. "...use," Meanwhile back on Earth, Glaciem caught Daisuke's hand and she threw it towards Gwen and flew off before Sunder grabbed her.
"Let her go!" Jun shouted angrily.
"Hand over the Omnitrix, or I will cut the child in two," Sunder told her.
"She's just a baby!" Jun shouted at Sunder as Glaciem squealed.
"Okay. You win, you can have the Omnitrix, just let her go," Gwen told him.
"The Omnitrix first," Sunder said as he threw Glaciem away.
"How about the Omnitrix never!" Kevin shouted as he fired the device he was building at Daisuke's hand and a bright flash of red light appeared and threw Sunder and Gwen back while Daisuke appeared.
"Whoa. How did I get here?" she asked.
"Told you," Kevin said with a smile.
"Dai!" Ben said relieved.
"You're alright," Jun said as she, Gwen and Ben hugged her while Glaciem flew around her mother's head happily.
"Mama missed you too sweetie," Daisuke cooed.
"The Omnitrix, hand it over!" Sunder shouted.
"Oh, I'll give you the Omnitrix alright," Daisuke told him before she noticed her left hand was still missing. "Oh come on!" she shouted as Sunder swung his axe and Daisuke jumped back and landed in front of Kevin's car, Sunder roared and slammed his axe down and Daisuke moved to the side and Sunder's axe hit Kevin's car.
"What is it with people wrecking my car!?" Kevin shouted angrily.
"Do you want to explain what's going on?" Daisuke asked.
"I'll give you the short version. Energy axe plus Omnitrix equals dimensional displacement. Meaning your hand is wherever you just were," Kevin answered.
"My hand is in the Null Void!?" Daisuke shouted in shock.
"How do we get it back?" Jun asked.
"We need to reverse the polarity of whatever sent it there in the first place," Kevin answered.
"The axe!?" Ben asked.
"I said simple, not easy," Kevin answered as Sunder pulled his axe out of Kevin's car.
"I won't ask again. The Omnitrix," Sunder said.
"Is history, gone, finite, we don't have it and neither do you," Jun told him.
"You can lie to me all you want, but you can't trick my scanner," Sunder said looking at his scanner but he couldn't find the Omnitrix. "What's with this thing?" he asked.
"It's not gone. I can still fell my hand," Daisuke whispered to Kevin, and sure enough back in the Null Void the Havok Beasts surrounded Daisuke's Omnitrix.
"Shut it, and follow my lead," Kevin whispered to her as he walked up to Sunder. "Forget the Omnitrix, what if I told you I could get my hands on a anti-matter cannon for you?" Kevin asked him.
"I'm listening," Sunder said sheathing his axe and he and Kevin walked off and Ben's Wildvine arm slowly approached Sunder's axe.
"I got another buyer coming later, but I would much rather appreciate selling it to a guy I can trust," Kevin said.
"Spare me the sales pitch, show me the anti-matter cannon," Sunder told Kevin just as there was a bright flash of gold light and Daisuke turned into Brainstorm and Sunder looked at his scanner. "Gone, history, finite, eh?" he asked holding up his scanner.
"Sunder, I implore you, do not exact vengeance upon my veracity-impaired colleague. I hereby definitively, albeit reluctantly, relinquish all claims on said Omnitrix, and render it into your possession forthwith," Brainstorm said walking up to Sunder before she blasted him with electricity sending him flying back. "I believe the vernacular is 'psyche." She said as Sunder flew towards her on his glider and she rolled under him and skidded to a stop. "I doubt you would be so bold, if you know of your imminent encounter with..." she trailed off as she was enveloped in a gold flash of light and she turned into Humungousaur who grabbed a lamppost. "Bring it on tiny," she told him and Sunder flew towards her. "I can beat you with one arm tied behind another dimension," she said as she swung the lamppost around and Sunder swung his axe which cut the lamppost to pieces. "Then again, I might need a hand," she said as Gwen jumped in and fired mana discs at Sunder and he flew off before flying back towards Gwen. "And a lot of numbers," Humungousaur said as she was enveloped in a gold light and she turned into another one of her original aliens. "Ditto!" she shouted and she split into ten copies of herself and they all ran towards Sunder and they tackled him to the ground and his axe went flying and Ben caught it with his Wildvine arm.
"I don't need an axe to defeat you!" Sunder shouted.
"Neither do I!" Jun shouted as she sent a beam of ice at Sunder and Ben let loose a Blitzwolfer howl sending Sunder flying into a dumpster and he groaned.
"We better get Daisuke's hand back before he wakes up," Kevin said as Ditto turned back into Daisuke. A few minutes later, Gwen was firing the machine Kevin built at Daisuke's left arm. "Keep it fixed on Daisuke's arm; this shot has to be perfect,"
"And if it's not?" Daisuke asked him.
"Then bits of you get scattered across multiple dimensions, but I'm sure I can do this," Kevin said as he lifted the axe up but he ended up hitting a light sending it crashing into a shelf. "I meant to do that," he said, Sunder groaned and he sat up and ran towards the garage.
"Oh for the love of!" Jun shouted as she took the axe and slammed it down on Daisuke's left arm and a red vortex appeared and sucked Sunder inside it and when the vortex was gone Daisuke's hand was back where it was supposed to be.
"I'm back in one piece!" she cheered as Glaciem cooed happily.
"Told you I could do it," Kevin said.
"I did it," Jun told him.
"I'm the one who beat the bad guy, singlehanded," Daisuke said with a grin.
"Speaking of Sunder, where is he now?" Ben asked the others who all shrugged.
"Who cares?" Daisuke asked as she walked off as Glaciem put her ID mask back on and she held her mother's hand and both walked off hand in hand. Sunder meanwhile was facing a larger than normal Havok beast that had his axe and was swinging it at Sunder.
"Give it back. I demand you give it back!" Sunder shouted as the surrounding Havok Beasts cheered.
