Vendetta
I don't own Digimon or Ben 10
Deep in the Null Void was a large prison on a large chunk of rock, inside the prison a robot guard was walking along a row of doors as it passed by one door the window glowed and the door was destroyed by an energy blast sending the robot flying and an alarm blared. Out of the smoke came a tall alien with long white hair, grey skin and he wore a red and black body suit and he broke his handcuffs. "Halt return to your cell, halt return to your cell," a robot guard said as it and two more ran towards the prisoner who held his arms up and fired energy blasts from his hands at the robots and they were destroyed and the alien ran off, he turned a corner and fired energy blasts at a wall making a large hole and he jumped down as an alarm blared and he landed on the ground below, a nearby guard tower opened fire at him but he ran off and fired an energy blast at the tower destroying it, he then arrived at the outer wall and he fired energy beams from his hands propelling himself up and over the wall and he saw a nearby portal out of the Null Void and he jumped from platform to platform as Null Guardians flew towards him and fired energy beams at him but they missed and he jumped over some before making his way into the portal.
Meanwhile on Earth in a warehouse, a Forever Knight was thrown to the ground and groaned before Rath picked him up by the ankle and she threw him at two more Forever Knights making them crash into some crates. "You tin cans wanna tangle with Rath!? There's enough of me for the lot of ya!" she shouted at the last three standing Forever Knights.
"New plan...run away!" one of the Forever Knights shouted running off and the other two knights followed him before they ran into Ben whose Diamondhead arm turned into a spiked mace.
"Bad idea," he told them and the knights ran off only to run into Kevin whose arms turned into hammers.
"Going somewhere?" he asked and the knights ran off only to run into Veemon and Gwen.
"Lady or the tiger boys your choice," Gwen said.
"Actually, not really," Veemon said and Gwen fired a mana blast at the three Forever Knights and soon Rath had tied them up with a metal girder she bent around them.
"Now you three stay put," she told them before she turned back into Daisuke who turned to look at her team. "So the Forever Knights aren't sneaking around anymore?"
"They're getting bolder," Gwen said.
"But not any smarter," Veemon said looking at the unconscious Forever Knights.
"Come on, I'll give you all a ride home," Daisuke said walking out of the warehouse towards her car.
"Can we stop at Mr Smoothy first?" Ben asked.
"I gotta get home," Kevin said climbing in and he sat beside Daisuke.
"To be honest I'm surprised you even have one," Ben said.
"Nice," Gwen told her cousin.
"I don't really stay there, but my mom needed a place," Kevin explained.
"So that garage your friend lets you use," Daisuke said.
"It's at my mom's place," Kevin said. "What you think I live in a tent in the woods?" he asked.
"Unless you live in a super cool underground cave," Ben said and Daisuke and Gwen giggled as Daisuke stopped outside Ben's house and Ben and Gwen climbed out before Daisuke drove off towards Kevin's mother's house.
"Thanks for the ride, looks like I'm finally on time...no!" Kevin shouted in shock as he and Daisuke saw Kevin's mother's house with the front door destroyed and Kevin ran towards the house with Daisuke following him. "Mom! Mom!" Kevin shouted looking around the house to see everyone was turned over or broken and he ran into another room and Daisuke followed.
"Hello! Anyone in here!?" Daisuke shouted.
"Mom! Answer me please!" Kevin shouted.
"Kevin," both Daisuke and Kevin turned to see Kevin's mother with two grocery bags in her arms. "I was at the grocery store," she said putting the bags down and Kevin hugged her tightly.
"What happened here?" Kevin asked.
"It looks like we were robbed," his mother said.
"I don't think so, the TV is still here and so is the jewellery box," Daisuke said. "It's like this place was searched,"
"Searched?" Kevin's mother asked.
"Oh man, look what they did," Kevin said picking up a frame with a picture of a younger Kevin and a man most likely his dad.
"Honey, there's something I should have told you a long time ago," his mother said and Daisuke knowing this was personal left the house and drove off back to her house. The next day, Daisuke was sitting on her couch at her house with Gwen while Ben was reading a book.
"Hey Daisuke, if a sailboat drops an 350 foot anchor line and it drifts until the line is tight, and the anchor line is at an angle of eighty degrees with the water how deep is it?" Ben asked.
"Just curious?" Daisuke asked him.
"You know me, I like to think about things," Ben answered.
"If I gave you the answers, you'd never learn anything," Daisuke told him.
"Hey I thought no child was supposed to be left behind?" Ben asked her.
"If you don't pass trigonometry, I'm sure that's not true," Kevin said as he walked into the house making his friends look at him.
"I thought you had plans," Gwen said.
"Plans change, I need some answers," Kevin said.
"Forget it, they won't give me one answer," Ben said.
"Not a joke Tennyson," Kevin told him. "What can you guys tell me about an alien creep called Ragnarok?" he asked the trio.
"Never heard of him," Ben answered "What're you working on?"
"None of your business. I need to find the guy, that's all," Kevin answered.
"We'll help," Gwen told him.
"I didn't ask you to help! I asked for information if you don't have any then stay out of this," Kevin said as he walked out of the house and slammed the door behind him.
"Right, like that will happen," Gwen said.
"Let's go," Ben said.
"You go ahead; I'll ask Dad if he knows anything about this Ragnarok guy," Daisuke told them and both nodded and soon Ben and Gwen were inside Max's RV.
"Ben, Gwen! Well, this is a pleasant surprise. You kids interested in one of my famous wombat omelettes?" Max asked the duo as he held a frying pan in his hand.
"Maybe later," Gwen answered.
"Grandpa, have you ever heard of a guy called Ragnarok?" Ben asked and Max dropped the frying pan.
"Where did you hear that name?" he asked seriously.
"From Kevin, he's out looking for the guy," Ben answered.
"We're trying to help," Gwen said and Max sighed.
"Then he must have found out," he said.
"Found out what?" Ben asked him.
"It started years ago. While I was still an active Plumber," Max answered.
Flashback Start
A small Plumber spaceship was flying through space while a larger spaceship chased it firing energy blasts towards it. "Max that things getting closer," a Plumber with black hair said to Max.
"The ship won't go any faster Devin," Max told him.
"Have you tried flapping your arms!?" Devin asked with a smirk as the ship kept flying avoiding the energy blasts from the pursuing ship.
"He really wants back what you stole from him," Max said.
"What else was I supposed to do? The guy steals the energy from stars for a living and sells it off to the highest bidder remember? I was not about to let him suck our sun dry and kill six billion people," Devin replied.
"So you stole the key that activates his energy vortex. I know, I'm the one who bailed your butt out of there," Max told him.
"Thanks by the way, now drive faster," Devin said just as the ship rocked violently and the ship stopped flying.
"That last shot took out our engine couplings, shields are down we're dead in space!" Max exclaimed as the ship chasing them flew over them and Ragnarok teleported inside and Devin and Max looked at him.
"Where did you hide my key?" he asked and both Plumbers looked at each other before they took out two blasters each and fired them at Ragnarok but the energy bolts didn't affect him at all.
"Well that's a whole lot of useless," Devin said as Ragnarok fired energy blasts from his hands at Devin and Max who both jumped to the side as their chairs were destroyed and both hid behind consoles.
"I'm going to try for the Null Void projector," Max told Devin who nodded and he ran off firing his blasters at Ragnarok and Max ran to a button on the wall near Ragnarok and he pressed it and a hatch opened revealing an arsenal of Plumber weapons, before Max could grab the Null Void projector Ragnarok fired an energy blast at him sending him to the ground and Devin fired his blasters making Ragnarok turn and fire energy bolts at him and both Plumbers ran behind cover.
"I'm out," Devin said removing one of his gloved.
"Devin no, you know what could happen if you use your powers," Max told him.
"And we both know what will happen if I don't," Devin replied as he grabbed a cable and his hand was covered with electricity and he turned and held his other arm up and fired a blast of energy at Ragnarok sending him crashing into a console. "This just isn't my day," Devin said as the energy stopped and his hand smoked allowing Ragnarok to punch him in the face knocking him to the ground and Ragnarok lifted the console that Max was hiding behind and he threw it away.
"Enough games, where is my key?" he asked them.
"Have you tried looking under the couch?" Devin asked him.
"How noble, willing to sacrifice yourself for your principals, but will you be quite so cavalier with the life of your partner?" he asked pointing his glowing hands towards Max.
"No!" Devin shouted.
"Don't worry about me Devin, if it's me or the solar system there really is no choice," Max told him.
"Last chance, my key or your friend which shall it be?" Ragnarok asked him.
"You won't get anything from me," Devin told him and Ragnarok fired at Max but Devin jumped in the way and took the hit for Max.
"Devin!" Max shouted and he grabbed the Null Void Projector. "You'll pay for that monster," he said firing the Null Void projector at Ragnarok and he was sucked inside and Max dropped the Null Void projector and he ran over to Devin who groaned and looked at him.
"Ragnarok?" he asked weakly.
"In the Null Void where he belongs, you just take it easy, you're gonna be okay," Max told Devin.
"We both know that's not true pal, still not a bad way to go saving the world and all," Devin said.
"No Devin, no stay with me," Max urged him.
"I'll always be with you Max. You tell my wife...and son...I love them," Devin said as his eyes closed and he took one last breath and his body went limp.
"I will old friend, you have my word, I promise they will be proud," Max said.
End Flashback
"We tried to find Ragnarok's ship but it disappeared when he was sucked into the Null Void," Max explained.
"But what does Kevin want with him?" Ben asked.
"My partners name was Devin Levin, Ragnarok is the monster who murdered Kevin's father," Max answered him. Later that night Ragnarok was looking through a storage locker throwing things around.
"Where is it Plumber? Where did you hide it?" he asked.
"Doesn't matter, because you're not gonna use it," Kevin told him and Ragnarok turned around.
"You're an Osmosian yes? Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Kevin Ethan Levin, you killed my father prepare to die," Kevin told him as his hands turned into a mace and hammer and he ran towards Ragnarok who ducked and slammed Kevin's head into the wall before he threw him out the back of the storage locker and he crashed into another one.
"So the Plumber spawned before I eliminated him, then you can tell me where to find my key," Ragnarok said.
"Not even if I knew murderer," Kevin replied before he ran at Ragnarok again who ducked and turned and sent an energy blast at Kevin sending him flying through the storage locker again and he walked to Kevin and picked him up before throwing him away and he rolled across the ground and Ragnarok walked towards Kevin and held his hands out which glowed with energy.
"The key now!" he demanded.
"Never happen," Kevin told him looking at him defiant and Ragnarok fired a large energy blast at Kevin but something intercepted it and both saw Chromastone standing there.
"He's right, you're not getting that key," she told Ragnarok firing an ultraviolet beam at him sending him flying back as Ben landed with Gwen in his arms.
"We tracked you with your Plumber badge," Gwen told Kevin who looked at them.
"I told you to stay out of it!" Kevin said.
"That's not how a team works," Chromastone told him as she turned into Lodestar in a flash of gold light.
"A Biosovortian interesting," Ragnarok said as Lodestar held her hands out and two storage locker doors slammed into him but he pushed them away.
"My magnetic personality is more than a match for you," Lodestar said sending magnetic waves towards Ragnarok who fired energy beams at her and both attacks clashed when Kevin shocked Lodestar out of the way.
"What're you doing?" Ben asked him.
"Leave him, he's mine!" Kevin shouted running towards Ragnarok who punched him and slammed Kevin into the ground and was about to punch him again when Ben threw a fireball from his Swampfire arm and Gwen threw mana discs at Ragnarok and Lodestar picked a car up and threw it at him and it exploded and Kevin looked to see him emerge unharmed.
"The key obviously isn't here, but I will find it," he said before teleporting away and Lodestar turned back into Daisuke.
"Gone, this is all your fault. You let him get away," Kevin said angrily to Daisuke. "I told you not to butt in!"
"We're your friends Kevin," Gwen told him.
"We're gonna help you capture this creep if it's the last thing we do," Ben said.
"Capture? Who said anything about capturing him?" Kevin asked walking off.
"What's this key he's after? Do you know where it is?" Daisuke asked him.
"Not a clue," Kevin said.
"Are you sure, maybe you don't just know you know," Gwen said.
"What're you talking about?" Kevin asked her.
"If the information is buried deep in your subconscious maybe I can help you find it," Gwen answered as she placed her hands on Kevin's temples and his eyes glowed as did Gwen's.
"You serious?" Kevin asked.
"As serious as Ben's trigonometry final," Gwen answered. "This won't hurt, I promise," she said before she gasped.
"Gwen are you okay?" Daisuke asked.
"Never better, I know where the key is," Gwen answered and soon the four of them were searching Kevin's mother's house for the key.
"Are you sure it's here?" Ben asked as he threw a box out of the way.
"Trust me Ben, I know-," Gwen stopped as her eyes glowed and she walked over to the picture frame of Kevin and Devin. "This is it!"
"I hate to break it to ya, but that's just an old picture," Daisuke said.
"Of me and my dad, it's one of the few things I have left to remind of him," Kevin said taking the picture as Ragnarok appeared in the room.
"At last," he said firing an energy blast at the four sending them flying and Ben and Gwen landed on side near the bookcase while Daisuke hit a wall while Kevin rolled across the ground and Ragnarok picked up the picture frame.
"No! Don't touch that!" Kevin told him but Ragnarok kicked him down before he took the picture and threw it away and he twisted the frame which turned into a key.
"Ingenious your father," he said.
"Give it back," Kevin said running at Ragnarok and he punched him before Ragnarok backhanded him and kicked him in the gut and punched him to the ground.
"We've played this game before whelp and you know how it ends," Ragnarok told Kevin as Gwen fired a mana blast sending him back and he turned to look at Gwen, Ben and Daisuke.
"Well let's play it with a new member," Daisuke said before being enveloped in a flash of gold light and she turned into Diamondhead.
"You are beginning to annoy me," Ragnarok said firing an energy blast at Diamondhead who held her arms up and she absorbed the blast and fired it back at Ragnarok sending him flying into the wall.
"No extra charge, it's part of the service," Diamondhead said firing shards at Ragnarok who dodged them and Kevin ran towards him but he was punched in the gut and thrown into Diamondhead sending both of them crashing into Ben and Gwen.
"I've wasted enough time with you fools," Ragnarok said as he held the key in his hand and he slid it into the mark on his forehead and high above Earth a large space station appeared. "My ship returned from hyperspace where it has remained hidden for all these years, it's only the key which holds my ship in this dimension call it a safety precaution," he said.
"There's nowhere you can run from me," Kevin told him.
"I'm about to extinguish your sun Levin, your world shall die. We will not meet again," Ragnarok told him as he teleported away but not before Gwen sent a hand of mana at him and she grabbed a small orb of light.
"He got away," Ben said.
"Maybe not, he's done that too many times, if I did this right we might be able to piggyback on his signal," Gwen said.
"Then let's do it," Kevin said and Gwen nodded and a bright sphere of light and it engulfed the four of them and they reappeared on the space station.
"Now where's Ragnarok?" Daisuke asked.
"Let's split up, you go port I'll go starboard," Kevin said.
"Who died and made you boss?" Ben asked.
"If you've got a problem with it, you," Kevin answered and Daisuke pulled Ben off and Gwen followed.
"I've never seen Kevin like that, it's like he's a different person," Ben said.
"He's going through a lot, Ben. He idolizes his father and..." Gwen said before she looked at the others. "We have to find Ragnarok before Kevin does. I'm afraid of what he might do.
"Kevin? Come on. He talks all tough, but he would never-," Ben said.
"Guys. Quick, come here!" Kevin shouted and Gwen and Ben ran over followed slowly by Daisuke who was enveloped in a gold flash of light. "This way I found him," Kevin told Ben and Gwen pointing to a small room and Ben and Gwen ran in.
"Better be ready for any-," Ben said before he realised that Ragnarok wasn't in the room. "Hey, what is this?!" he shouted as the door closed behind him and Gwen.
"An escape pod," Gwen said.
"This isn't funny, Levin. Let us out!" Ben shouted.
"Just remember, Tennyson, I asked you to stay out of this!" Kevin told Ben as he launched the escape pod and it flew down to Earth.
"Oh, Kevin, what have you done?" Gwen asked.
"There's got to be a way back there," Ben said.
"It's on auto pilot to Earth. No controls. No space suits. Kevin is on his own," Gwen told him.
"Just like he planned it, I hope Daisuke can stop him," Ben said and sure enough Ghostfreak appeared behind Kevin and turned back into Daisuke who glared at Kevin.
"You're a real piece of work you know that Levin!" she shouted.
"This is none of your business Daisuke, so just get in an escape pod and head back to Earth," Kevin told her.
"And let you kill Ragnarok?" Daisuke asked him.
"You don't understand, I have to do this," Kevin told her.
"For your dad? Or for yourself? Revenge solves nothing Kevin," Daisuke told him.
"That's what you think," Kevin said walking off and Daisuke tried to stop him but he grabbed her and tossed her into an escape pod and shut the door and she looked at him. "I'm sorry. And I mean that," he said as he launched the pod.
"I hope you know what you're doing Kevin," Daisuke said as her pod headed towards Earth, meanwhile Ragnarok was powering up his station.
"Energy vortex activated, commencing solar power drain in five, four, three, two..." he said.
"Done!" Kevin shouted behind him.
"You again, I should have ended you when I had the chance," he said.
"Your mistake," Kevin said just as the machine powered up and solar energy from the sun was drained into the station and beams of solar energy arched around the bridge.
"This time I will finish the job," Ragnarok said rushing at Kevin who jumped to the side as his hands turned into a hammer and mace.
"One of us will," he said before he started smashing the consoles.
"Stop you don't know what you're doing!" Ragnarok warned him.
"I do, I'm saving the Earth and avenging my dad," Kevin told him.
"The energy vortex is a delicate balance, disrupt the control field and it will implode," Ragnarok warned Kevin who ignored him and he ran off and started smashing more consoles when Ragnarok ran up and threw him away as the consoles began to short circuit and small explosions occurred. "The vortex is destabilised!" he shouted as a large chunk of machinery crashed into the viewing window and a vacuum was created sucking everything not nailed down out, Kevin and Ragnarok ran off when a piece of debris smashed into the ground in front of them nearly destroying the platform and Kevin fell down before his left arm turned into a spike and he stopped his fall. "Please save me," Ragnarok who was behind Kevin begged holding his hand out.
"Save you? You killed my father remember!?" Kevin shouted.
"Your father, yes. He was a Plumber an honourable man; he wouldn't let anyone die if he could help it, please for your father," Ragnarok begged Kevin who reached towards him only to grabbed the key. "No," he said.
"For my father," Kevin said as Ragnarok was sucked into space and Kevin watched. Ben and Gwen had landed back on Earth as Daisuke's pod crashed into the ground and she climbed out just as the space station blew up.
"Kevin!" Gwen shouted before she hugged Ben with tears in her eyes.
"He was a hero, right to the end," Daisuke said.
"And then some, nice to know you guys appreciate me," Kevin said walking up to them.
"You're alive!?" Ben asked him shocked as Gwen ran up and hugged him.
"I was so worried," she said.
"Hey I'm a survivor remember?" Kevin asked her. "I got it from my dad, and saving the world,"
"What happened to Ragnarok?" Daisuke asked him.
"Didn't make it," Kevin answered walking off.
