Secret of Chromastone
I don't own Digimon or Ben 10
Kevin's car was speeding along the highway as fast as Kevin could until he slammed on the brakes and the car was stuck behind a semi-truck. "Come on move it!" Kevin shouted honking his horn loudly but the driver of the truck ignored him. "Oh you want to play it like that?" he asked pressing a button and the cars missile weapons emerged from the car.
"Kevin!" Gwen shouted.
"What?" Kevin asked.
"Anger management, appropriate response," Gwen answered.
"Fine, no missiles," Kevin grumbled. "We're going off road," he then said driving off the road past the truck and his car's tyres expanded and lifted the car up before it sped past the truck and back onto the road and the truck honked its horn. Both then heard a cough and turned to the back seat to see Daisuke covered in blankets with Ben by her side.
"I don't think I can make it," she said weakly.
"Hang in there hero, we're almost there!" Kevin told her as he sped up down the road.
"Look! We're almost there!" Gwen shouted as Kevin turned into a drive though of a Mr Smoothy.
"Can I take your order?" the women on the intercom asked.
"One mango blueberry with extra lemon stat," Kevin said as Daisuke sat up and she sneezed.
"Can we make it a double?" she asked.
"It's just a common cold Dai," Ben told her.
"There is nothing common about this cold," Daisuke replied before coughing and sneezing again and Gwen handed her a tissue and she wiped her nose, Kevin then handed her a smoothie.
"Here you go, Motomiya, the old Levin family cure," he said.
"A smoothie?" Daisuke asked him as Kevin poured some yellow liquid into the cup.
"Nah the smoothies's just so that you can gulp down the real cure. It's bitterroot they call it that because..." Kevin said as Daisuke took a sip and she made a vomiting sound and her lips were stuck to the straw. "Anyway, it's good for a cold... also it's supposed to ward off bear attacks... drink up," Kevin said and Daisuke muttered something which no one could understand. "What?"
"She says she can't. Her lips are puckered shut," Ben answered.
"You could understand that? You should be a dentist," Kevin told him as a bright light from above appeared. "We got company," he told the others looking out of his car to see a large spaceship land outside the parking lot of the Mr Smoothy. The team walked out to see a familiar alien walk down the ramp.
"Tetrax? Is that you?" Daisuke asked as the figure's helmet receded revealing the familiar face. "It is. How've you been?" she asked before sneezing on Tetrax. "Sorry," she apologised wiping her nose as Tetrax grabbed her and lifted her up.
"Daisuke Motomiya, give me Chromastone!" Tetrax demanded.
"Huh?" Daisuke asked before Tetrax dropped her.
"Now!" he shouted.
"Alright, I've got a feeling something bad is gonna happen. So let me do something else first," Daisuke said before being enveloped in a gold flash of light and turning into Ditto making Tetrax sigh.
"I asked for Chromastone, not Ditto!" He shouted and Ditto sighed.
"Give me a second would ya?" she asked before splitting into two where the copy turned into Chromastone while the original Ditto turned back into Daisuke.
"Is it time?" Chromastone asked Tetrax.
"Very nearly," he answered pulling out a red crystal which was giving off ultraviolet coloured light and he pushed it into Chromastone's abdomen and her forearms, feet and the crystals poking out of her body including the one of her head turned red and the crystal on her forehead grew longer.
"It is done. I go now to fulfil my destiny," she said before flying off into space.
"I didn't know Chromastone could fly," Daisuke said before sneezing.
"She can do far more than that," Tetrax said.
"Start explaining," Daisuke told him before sneezing. "Man, I hate having a cold, what about you?" she asked Tetrax.
"Never had one sorry," he answered. "I'm sorry if this was unexpected Daisuke. This was the only way I could redeem myself,"
"For helping Vilgax," Daisuke said.
"For betraying my people, for it was I and I alone who sold Vilgax our sacred crystal with unlimited power. The power he used to destroy my home planet Petropia. Because of my own selfishness I was cursed to wonder the universe alone, the last of my kind. But recently I discovered a chance for redemption. You see neither Vilgax nor I understood the true power of the crystal, since the beginning of time my people's memories and DNA have been stored within the crystals molecular lattice," Tetrax explained.
"So it's a back up drive for the whole planet?" Gwen asked.
"And for everyone who lived there, yes" Tetrax answered. "Once I learned the truth I stole it from Vilgax and came here and gave the crystal to Chromastone who was created to be the guardian of the sacred crystal. She will carry it back home, and when my solar system's three stars are in a rare alignment she will unleash the crystals limitless power and revive Petropia,"
"You could have told us," Daisuke said.
"There was no time. The stars are aligning even as we speak," Tetrax said looking at the three stars in the night sky.
"Is that shooting star apart of it?" Gwen asked.
"Shooting star?" Tetrax asked as a fiery meteor crashed into the road. "That's no shooting star that's..." he said as Vilgax emerged from the fire.
"Vilgax!" Ben shouted.
"Where is my crystal?" Vilgax asked.
"Maybe I should have stayed home in bed after all," Daisuke whined.
"You stole from me Tetrax, give me what is mine and I will make your death mercifully brief," Vilgax said.
"Get behind me," Tetrax said holding his hands out and a wall of crystal rose up out of the ground but Vilgax blasted it with his Ruby Ray of Ulo shattering the wall to pieces.
"Fool," Vilgax said.
"I'll handle him!" Daisuke exclaimed as she was enveloped in a flash of gold light and she transformed into Humungousaur who ripped up a lamp post. "Get ready to rumble, Vilgax, 'cause Humungousaur is gonna... gonna... gonna..." she said before she began to sneeze.
"She's gonna blow!" Kevin shouted as he pushed Gwen to the ground while Ben and Tetrax ran for cover.
"AAAA...TCHOOOO!" Humungousaur shouted sneezing out a pile of phlegm towards Vilgax who ducked and the phlegm hit Kevin's car.
"Uggh, gesundheit!" Gwen said.
"You are so washing that," Kevin told Humungousaur as Vilgax ran towards Humungousaur who swung the lamppost at him but he ducked under it and then leaned to the side and knocked the post out of Humungousaur's hands before punching her and both grappled for dominance before Vilgax threw Humungousaur to the ground, Kevin ran up but he was kicked back and Gwen encased Vilgax in a sphere of mana but he fired energy beams from his eyes at the sphere and it shattered and Gwen fell down as Tetrax and Ben fired shards from their arms at Vilgax who held his hands up blocking the shards.
"We can't beat him like this, fall back and regroup!" Tetrax shouted as Humungousaur turned into Jetray and she flew into the air and fired energy blasts from her eyes at Vilgax kicking up dust everywhere and when the dust cleared Vilgax lowered his shield of Ziegal to see everyone had fled.
"Cowards!" he shouted angrily.
"The time is almost upon us," Tetrax said looking at the three stars with the middle one falling into alignment. Chromastone meanwhile was flying through space and she passed the remains of Petropia and she flew in front of the three stars, she then held her hands together and spread them wide as the crystal on her forehead glowed ultraviolet colours and a ring of ultraviolet light emanated from her body and the ring passed over the remains of Petropia and the planet itself began to reform in front of Chromastone who smiled at what was happening. Meanwhile back on Earth Jetray was firing energy blasts at Vilgax who held up the shield of Ziegal to block the attacks.
"Float like a butterfly...sting like a..." she said before Vilgax jumped up and grabbed her.
"I will crush you like the insignificant insect you are," he told her as Jetray kicked him off and flew off and Vilgax followed her.
"Flying isn't fun if everyone can do it," Jetray grumbled before sneezing and she flew up and was enveloped in a gold flash of light as she turned into Four Arms and she fell slamming down into Vilgax sending both crashing to the ground. Four Arms was then sent flying by a punch and she skidded across the ground as Vilgax stood up and fired energy beams from his eyes at her but Gwen made a shield of mana in front of Four Arms and the others.
"Keep him busy, I got an idea," Kevin told the others running towards his car and he turned on the windscreen wipers cleaning the phlegm off the windscreen and he drove off towards the others who were running from Vilgax who was once again flying and firing energy beams from his eyes at them, he then saw Kevin driving up and he turned and fired beams at him but Kevin swerved around the attacks, he then flipped a switch on his dashboard and smoke began to pour out the back of his car, he then drove in circles around Four Arms, Tetrax, Gwen and Ben and soon a cloud of smoke obscured them from Vilgax's sight and he fired energy blasts at the cloud of smoke.
"Fools, you are simply prolonging the inevitable," he said as he dropped down once the smoke cleared and he ripped the door off the car and saw no one was inside the car and he roared and threw the car door into the air.
"I told you I had a plan," Kevin told the others as he lifted a manhole cover and climbed out of the sewer into a tunnel followed by Gwen, Ben Tetrax and Daisuke. "And I have another one too,"
"Do you ever have a plan that doesn't result in crawling through the sewers?" Gwen asked him in a whisper.
"You're welcome and stop whispering, we're half a mile from where Vilgax is searching for us," Kevin told her.
"Good point, even with his super hearing he can't pick us out over all the people talking in the desert," Ben said just as Daisuke sneezed loudly and it echoed and everyone looked at her.
"What are the odds that he..." she said before Vilgax crashed down through the ceiling. "Man this is just not my day," she said.
"Give me the crystal!" Vilgax demanded.
"Will this do?" Tetrax asked as a wall of crystal rose in front of Vilgax who punched and shattered the wall sending Tetrax to the ground. "I can't hold him back,"
"But I can," Daisuke said as she was enveloped in a gold flash of light and she turned into Echo Echo who split into five duplicates and they all sneezed loudly sending a sonic wave towards Vilgax who shouted as he was thrown back into several pipes.
"You did it!" Tetrax shouted as Echo Echo turned back into Daisuke.
"Was there ever any doubt?" she asked him.
"A lot of doubt over here!" Ben answered as Vilgax walked out of the rubble and he roared and slammed his fist into the ground making it shake and this made everyone nearly lose their balance and Vilgax grabbed Tetrax.
"I will only ask once more, where is my crystal!?" he asked him.
"You'll never find it," Tetrax answered.
"He's right about that. Because Chromastone took it halfway across the galaxy," Kevin said.
"Really?" Vilgax asked as Gwen elbowed Kevin.
"Too much information?" he asked as Vilgax dropped Tetrax and flew off.
"Nice going motor mouth," Daisuke told him.
"Oh come on, how is he going to find Chromastone in the whole universe?" Kevin asked her.
"I need to stop him," Tetrax said.
"We're going with you," Gwen said holding her hand which was glowing with mana up at Tetrax.
"I wouldn't argue with her," Ben told him.
"There's no point," Kevin said and soon everyone was climbing onto Tetrax's ship.
"I don't know if I should be flying with my cold. What if my head explodes?" Daisuke asked walking up the ramp.
"Don't worry. In space no one can hear your scream," Kevin told her as Tetrax's ship lifted off the ground and it blasted off into space. Meanwhile Chromastone was still in front of the three stars as Petropia reformed in front of her and it glowed once it was done and she landed on the highest peak.
"It is done. Petropia lives once again, and soon her people will as well," she said holding her arms out wide and a ring of ultraviolet light emanated from her making Petropia glowed brightly before Chromastone was hit by an energy blast and she fell down to the ground and rolled across it and she looked up to see Vilgax standing over her.
"Chromastone, you have something that belongs to me," he told her.
"I beg of you, do not do this," Chromastone begged him.
"Why not? The crystal is mine. I paid for it. You're nothing but a common thief!" Vilgax shouted at her as he punched Chromastone three times in the face before kicking her back sending her skidding across the surface of Petropia.
"Billions of lives are at stake!" she shouted firing an ultraviolet beam at Vilgax who blocked it with his arm.
"You should be concerned with preserving your own life," he told her before he stomped on her.
"There it is!" Daisuke shouted as Tetrax's ship flew towards Petropia.
"Petropia, I never thought I would see it again," Tetrax said in awe.
"Where's Chromastone?" Gwen asked.
"Over there," Ben answered as they saw Vilgax kicking Chromastone.
"She's in trouble. Hurry!" Daisuke told Tetrax as Vilgax kicked Chromastone sending her flying back and he walked towards her.
"Any last words?" Vilgax asked her.
"I must save my people...have mercy!" Chromastone pleaded.
"Mercy? Never heard of it!" Vilgax told her as he grabbed the crystal on Chromastone's forehead and snapped it off making Chromastone shout in pain before she groaned and collapsed on the ground as Tetrax's ship landed and Tetrax ran out.
"No! Give it back!" he shouted shooting shards at Vilgax who held up the shield of Ziegal.
"You bore me Tetrax," Vilgax said as he held the crystal up and fired an ultraviolet beam from it encasing Tetrax in red crystal. "That fool using all the crystal's power. Just to reassemble a dead world, all this for nothing!" he growled throwing the crystal to the ground and he flew off.
"I'll show you nothing!" Daisuke shouted. "Get back here!" Kevin walked up to Tetrax and his arm turned into a hammer and he hit the crystal several times and it shattered freeing Tetrax.
"The crystal?" he asked.
"It's dead," Daisuke answered.
"And so is Chromastone, all is lost," Tetrax said sadly before Chromastone took a ragged gasp.
"No, the stars are still aligned. All is not lost, there is still time," she said standing up and the crystal on her forehead regrew. "But I am too weak...to continue...Daisuke please..." she said taking the crystal and handing it to Daisuke who took it just before Chromastone vanished.
"What're you supposed to do with that?" Kevin asked.
"I don't know but I know someone who does," Daisuke answered being enveloped in a gold flash of light and she turned into Diamondhead who ran off towards the highest peak on Petropia and she began to climb the mountain, she ran along a bridge which began to crumble and she put the crystal between her teeth and she jumped and landed on a ledge, she then began to climb the mountain to the very top, once she arrived she took the crystal out of her mouth and she held it up to the sky in front of the three stars and it glowed sending a large wave of light across Petropia.
"She's done it!" Tetrax exclaimed as the light faded and thousands of crystals rose from the ground and turned into male, female and children Petrosapiens. Diamondhead jumped down off the mountain and landed and turned back into Daisuke as Gwen, Ben, Kevin and Tetrax ran up.
"You did it, everyone on the planet is alive again," Gwen said hugging Daisuke.
"Not everyone," she said sadly.
"Yes Daisuke, everyone," she looked up to see Chromastone standing there.
"Chromastone, you're alive," Daisuke said relieved running up to her.
"Not Chromastone, she is still in your Omnitrix. I am Sugilite the guardian of Petropia," Sugilite told her.
"I believe this belongs to you," Daisuke said handing her the crystal and Sugilite took it and placed it back on her head.
"I am in your debt as are all the Petrosapiens," she told Daisuke as the citizens of Petropia cheered and Daisuke smiled and she bowed to them.
"Is she going to brag about this?" Kevin asked.
"Wouldn't you if you revived a planet and a whole species?" Ben asked him back. Soon Tetrax's ship landed outside the Mr Smoothy.
"Thanks for the ride home Tetrax," Daisuke said.
"It's the least I can do Daisuke," he replied.
"We won't hold you up. You must be anxious to see your friends again," Gwen said.
"I am. But first I have a score to settle with Vilgax," Tetrax said.
"Is that a smart move? He's pretty much invulnerable," Daisuke told him.
"Maybe, maybe not," Tetrax said.
"ACHOO!" Vilgax sneezed as he sat on his throne back on Vilgaxia. "I don't believe this!" he shouted as Psyphon handed him a tissue and he sneezed into it several times.
