Ghost Town
I don't own Digimon or Ben 10
A small space station was orbiting very close to a sun while a small ship was flying away from it. "Station to patrol ship, nothing to report the prisoner is secure," a voice said to what looked to be a red robot sitting on a chair in the ship.
"Copy that, I can't say I am surprised," the robot said as an alarm beeped and Vilgax flew through space towards the ship. "What is that?" he asked as Vilgax neared the ship. "Attention unidentified vehicle, you are entering secure space I will fire if you proceed," he warned but Vilgax continued on and the robot pressed a button and cannons emerged from then ship and fired towards Vilgax who held up the shield of Ziegal and the energy blasts hit the shield and Vilgax tore through the ship cutting it in two before it exploded in a massive fireball. Vilgax then landed on the outside of the station and he opened a door and walked inside the and the door slammed down covering him in darkness and some guards fired their blasts at him but the bolts bounced off his body, his eyes then glowed bright red and he fired energy beams at the guards knocking them down. He then walked off to a hallway where several heavy steel doors slammed down in front of him, Vilgax clenched his fist and he smashed through them and punched the last door down and he walked into a room where in the centre of the room under a bright and intense light was Ghostfreak.
"Please...the light...it burns," he said.
"And if I were to stop it?" Vilgax asked him.
"Do not toy with me Vilgax. Ask for what you want," Ghostfreak told him.
"I do not ask Ghostfreak. I demand, and you obey. I will free you from your prison and in return you will tell me what I need to know," Vilgax said kneeling down.
"The knowledge to defeat Daisuke Motomiya, the secrets of the Omnitrix," Ghostfreak said looking up at him.
"Tell me and I will set you free," Vilgax told him. Meanwhile on Earth, Daisuke, Gwen, Ben and Kevin were at the miniature golf course and Gwen was taking her time.
"And five centuries later," Ben said.
"Coming to the miniature golf course was your idea," Gwen reminded him.
"That's because I thought there was a rogue alien trashing the place," Ben explained.
"It's supposed to be a little cute alien, not a scary one," Gwen told him.
"And when has that ever been the case?" Daisuke asked before she yawned. "Now hurry up and putt," Gwen hit the ball and it made it into the hole.
"Another hole in one," she said happily before the ball was thrown out of the hole. "I'm still counting that," she said as a small pink mole-like alien popped out of the hole.
"Finally, let's bag him and go home," Ben said walking up to the alien. "Hey there little guy," he said as he kneeled down but the alien spat a cloud of acid at Ben who jumped back and the golf ball was melted. "This is why I hate mini-golf," he mumbled as the alien ducked back into the hole and it popped up behind Gwen who turned and made a shield of mana to block the acid mist, the alien then burrowed away and Kevin shouted in pain as he held his acid covered foot and the alien laughed.
"I hate miniature golf, but I am a big fan of whack-a-mole!" he shouted as his metal arm turned into a hammer and he slammed it down but the alien popped up beside him and Kevin hit him but he popped up behind him, and then all around him as Kevin kept trying to hit him. "This is more fun at the arcade," he said as Gwen fired a mana bolt at the alien but it ducked into the ground before it was hit and Gwen and Kevin tried to hit the alien.
"It's like it knows when we're gonna hit him," Gwen said.
"Nah. You're not hitting him hard enough," Daisuke told her as she was enveloped in a gold flash of light and she turned into Humungousaur and she slammed her foot down onto the alien who popped up a few feet away from her and she kept stomping down but the alien kept moving. "Hold still you little!" she shouted before grabbing a tower from the mini-golf course and she slammed it down once the alien popped up again. "A mole in one," she said laughing before she yelped and saw the alien biting her tail.
"Hold him there Dai!" Gwen shouted.
"Oh sure, hold the alien with the acid spit!" Humungousaur shouted back as Gwen swung her golf club and sent a ball towards the alien and hit it and knocked it out.
"Nice shot," Kevin said.
"I guess he wasn't up to par," Gwen said and Kevin gave her a blank look. "Golf joke," she explained, Humungousaur turned back into Daisuke and she grabbed the mole alien and she pulled it out of the hole only to realise that the alien was larger and had multiple heads.
"Next time, we're going go cart racing," she said just as something fell from the sky and crashed into the parking lot with a thunderous explosion.
"What as that!?" Ben shouted.
"Whatever it is, it better not have landed on my ride," Kevin said running off and the others followed to see a large crater in the parking lot and Daisuke walked up to it and saw Vilgax with bruises and he was holding his left arm.
"Daisuke Motomiya, I need your help," he told her and soon Vilgax was sitting across from Daisuke behind the Burger Shack. "Burger Shack?" he asked.
"It's the only place I could think of," she answered. "What do you need my help for?" Daisuke asked him back.
"Dai, what're you doing? Remember all the times he tried to kill you?" Ben asked her.
"I never turn people who need my help, be they good or bad," Daisuke answered.
"He shouldn't even be here, he was banished from our planet," Gwen said.
"And what makes you think she will help you squid face?" Kevin asked him.
"One word. Ghostfreak," Vilgax answered and Daisuke's expression hardened.
"What about him?" she asked.
"You remember him? He escaped from the Omnitrix. Almost destroyed you," Vilgax said.
"I know. I was there," Daisuke said.
"And I was there when he escaped from the maximum security prison built to hold only him," Vilgax told her.
"So he's on the loose?" Gwen asked.
"And more powerful than ever, he even tried to possess me," Vilgax answered.
"He always was the possessive type," Daisuke said.
"That still doesn't explain why you're here," Ben told Vilgax.
"Even though I drove him off. Ghostfreak wasn't finished with me. But instead of seeking revenge directly he attacked my world. Every one of my people he possessed became a Ghostfreak minion enslaved to his hive mind. I tried to defend my people but the infestation spread exponentially and within weeks Ghostfreak had taken control of my entire planet, he had what he wanted there was nothing I could do but escape and bring back help. That is to say you Daisuke Motomiya," Vilgax told her.
"And you think I am going with you because...?" Daisuke asked him.
"Because this is your fault!" Vilgax exclaimed.
"What!? I have never been to your planet," Daisuke said.
"But you allowed Ghostfreak to escape from the Omnitrix. His actions are your responsibility," Vilgax told her. "Of course if you'd rather I'd do it alone," he said looking at the Omnitrix around Daisuke's wrist.
"Yeah. Not a chance," Daisuke told him.
"We are wasting time! My people are not warriors like me; they are innocent women and children," Vilgax told her.
"Why should we help you?" Kevin asked him.
"Why else would I come grovelling to your miserable planet?" he asked them.
"He makes a good point," Gwen said.
"Come on there couldn't be a more obvious trap if there was a sign saying free cookies," Kevin said.
"True. But as I said, I won't let people suffer," Daisuke told him as she looked at Vilgax. "I'll help you Vilgax, but the first sign of a double cross and you're a sushi platter," she warned him. Soon Ship was flying towards Vilgax's home world and he landed and Daisuke walked out to see the entire planet covered by ectoplasm and the atmosphere was dark orange. "This place has seen better days," she said as Vilgax stood beside her.
"This is the doing of Ghostfreak," he said as Kevin, Ben and Gwen walked out of Ship.
"Stay. Stay, I mean it," Kevin told Ship before he walked off and Ship turned back to normal and ran off. "You said you trained that thing," he said to Daisuke.
"We've more immediate problems," Gwen said pointing to some Ghostfreak minions who were flying towards them.
"They haven't seen us yet, quick, in here," Daisuke said running into a crack in the wall and she climbed in followed by Gwen, Kevin, Ben and Vilgax who struggled but managed to fit inside and Kevin's hands turned into large blocks and he held them against the crack as the Ghostfreak minions flew past them. "They're gone," she said before everyone heard a noise and Gwen covered her ears.
"What is that?" she asked.
"A child crying," Vilgax answered.
"Guess they weren't after us," Kevin said as Vilgax punched through the wall and ran out.
"What're you doing!?" Ben shouted.
"He's giving away our position. I knew we couldn't trust him!" Kevin shouted as several Ghostfreak minions approached them and Daisuke was enveloped in a gold flash of light and she turned into Swampfire who walked towards a crack in the ground and her toes and fingers turned into vines and they reached into the crack and pulled it open allowing Swampfire and the others to jump in and walk through a small tunnel and Swampfire climbed out.
"I can't believe you think you could trick us into..." she trailed off once she saw Vilgax defending a child. "Saving a little girl? Okay now I feel like a jerk," she said.
"The big bad guy has a conscious, who knew," Gwen said.
"Do not let the reach her, the Ghostfreaks can possess anything they touch," Vilgax said as he fired laser beams from his eyes.
"Meaning us," Kevin said as Swampfire ran and threw fireballs at the Ghostfreaks destroying them and she stood in front of the girl and a nearby plant sprung to life and wrapped two more Ghostfreaks up and they vanished.
"Nice. I didn't even know that was a plant," Swampfire mumbled, Ben's Diamondhead arm turned into a spiked mace and he ran towards the Ghostfreaks and one of them tried to possess him but i was thrown out.
"Great. Even these freaks don't want me," he mumbled.
"Ben," Swampfire said.
"That's a good thing. You and Kevin should be up front," Gwen told her cousin as Kevin's hand turned into a club and he swung it at another Ghostfreak and the others decided to flee, Vilgax walked over to the girl and kneeled down.
"Are you injured?" he asked her.
"No my lord Vilgax, thank you my lord Vilgax," the girl thanked him.
"It is not safe. Stay inside and be quiet," he told her and the girl nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled before running off.
"Aw so cute!" Daisuke exclaimed. "You're losing your touch Vilgax," she told him and Vilgax stood up and looked at her.
"Watch what you say Daisuke Motomiya, if I did not need your help!" he shouted drawing his sword making Daisuke grin.
"See, there's the old Vilgax we all love to hate," she said.
"So what is next, do you got some puppies that need saving?" Kevin asked him.
"We eliminate Ghostfreak. Without his mental control his minions will be powerless," Vilgax answered.
"So where is he?" Gwen asked him.
"He has to be in your house right?" Daisuke asked.
"My castle? Yes, it is well fortified," Vilgax explained.
"You've gotta have a house key under a rock somewhere right?" Ben asked.
"I take your meaning. There is a secret way into my stronghold. But it is unpleasant," Vilgax answered and soon the group were inside a trash chute.
"The trash chute?" Kevin asked him as Gwen made a sphere of mana and held it in the air illuminating the area.
"Be grateful I called off the flesh beetles," Vilgax told him before climbing up the chute.
"Yeah, grateful that is one way of looking at it," Kevin mumbled.
"Ghostfreak has a real grudge against you Vilgax," Gwen said.
"He...simply sees my planet as the jewel that it is," he replied.
"Jewel?" Kevin asked as some slime fell on his head. "That's one word for it," he added.
"Once we take the freak down, we can find out what he really wants," Daisuke said.
"You seem confident," Vilgax said looking at her.
"I have a plan," Daisuke replied and everyone climbed out from behind a banner where they saw Ghostfreak on the balcony overlooking the planet. "There he is. Wow, he got uglier since last time, I'm going to need a distraction," she said looking at Vilgax as did Ben, Kevin and Gwen.
"You suggest me?" he asked.
"Considering how noticeable you are, it can work," Daisuke answered and Vilgax frowned but he walked towards Ghostfreak.
"Zs'Skayr!" he shouted making the Ectonurite turn and smirk.
"Ah Vilgax, are you back for more?" he asked.
"This time you will die Ectonurite scum," Vilgax told him as he pulled out his sword and Zs'Skayr fired an energy beam at him but he held up the Shield of Ziegal to block it and he was pushed back.
"Before I enslaved your planet, as I will enslave the universe. All I needed was a place to start; even now my minions build star ships to infest other worlds. But now that you're here I wouldn't mind possessing your powers as well," Zs'Skayr told Vilgax.
"You're welcome to try," he replied holding his sword up and Zs'Skayr lunged at Vilgax only for a bright beam of light to hit him and he screamed.
"Sunlight!?" he asked holding his arm which was smoking.
"A sun-gun, you remember this don't you Zs'Skayr?" Daisuke asked holding a sun-gun in her hand and Zs'Skayr growled at her.
"Motomiya! I have been waiting for this!" he told her as the Omnitrix beeped and it glowed yellow and fired a beam towards Zs'Skayr and scanned him.
"Genetic DNA sample acquired," the Omnitrix said in Daisuke's voice and she was enveloped in a gold flash of light and she turned into what Ghostfreak originally looked like only her eye was golden, she wore a tight black choker collar with multiple gold chains wrapping around her ghost like body and the Omnitrix symbol was in the centre of the chains and also the chains wrapped around her forearms.
"Ghostfreak!" she shouted. "Alright, and this time, I'm in control," she said as the chains around her arms loosened and she grabbed them and she swung them towards Zs'Skayr who turned intangible but the chains struck him sending him flying and he crashed into a wall.
"What!?" he shouted in anger as Ghostfreak flew towards him and punched him and he fired an energy beam from his chest at her but she flew out of the way and swung her chains towards him again and they wrapped around him and she slammed him into the ground as several Ghostfreak minions flew into the room.
"Oh great," Ben mumbled as his Diamondhead turned into a sword and Kevin's arms turned into a hammer and a mace, Vilgax held his sword high and he fired energy beams at the minions destroyed some of them while Ben jumped and slammed his arm down cutting through two more. Ghostfreak spun her chains around and she threw them at Zs'Skayr who flew to the side and his hands glowed blue and a large chunk of the ceiling shook and fell down towards Ghostfreak who held her hands up and stopped the debris and she threw it at Zs'Skayr who turned intangible and it passed through him and he flew and tackled Ghostfreak and both flew past the others and crashed into the throne in the room.
"You cannot win Daisuke, I am more powerful then you will ever become. So give up," Zs'Skayr demanded and Ghostfreak smirked at him.
"Not going to happen," she said and she fired a gold energy beam at him sending him flying into the roof and he growled at her and fired energy beams from his hands at her but she flew off and swung her chains again and she wrapped them around his wrists and she pulled him towards her where she fired a point blank range energy blast from her chest making Zs'Skayr scream in pain and he flew back and crashed into the ground and he groaned.
"I...will return Daisuke Motomiya," he warned her.
"And I will be waiting," she said and Zs'Skayr vanished as did the Ghostfreak minions and Ghostfreak turned back into Daisuke in a flash of gold light and she smiled at the others who smiled back except for Vilgax.
"Long live Vilgax! Long live Vilgax!" the rest of Vilgax's people cheered as he stood on a balcony looking down at the crowd and Daisuke walked up to him.
"Look at that, you're own fan club," she said.
"I will not take credit for your deeds Motomiya," he told her.
"Don't worry. I won't tell a soul about what happened on Vilgaxia," she replied.
"Wise choice," he told her and Daisuke walked off. "Motomiya!" he shouted making Daisuke stop and look at him. "Thank you for your help," he said before glaring at her. "Tell anyone of what I just said and I will deny it,"
"Good to know. And you're welcome," Daisuke said walking off to see Ship run up to her with the others.
"We found him emulating some alien toaster, but he changed back," Gwen said.
"After making ten loaves of bread," Kevin said as everyone walked off and soon Ship was leaving the planet and Vilgax watched them.
"This is not over Daisuke Motomiya, now that the secrets of the Omnitrix are mine and they are none left to stop me. I would say this is a rather auspicious beginning," he said with a smirk.
