Episode 21: Hero Time (Part 3)
In the last episode, a LOT of weird things happened. And Future Ben crumbled into nothingness because of Eon. Vilgax was angry that Eon disobeyed his order of letting him destroy Ben. But Eon just said that he made Vilgax's job easier. Finding it hard to argue with what Eon said, Vilgax decided to just let it go. But told Eon that he shouldn't change the plans that were agreed upon next time. Eon just ignored him.
[In Present Ben's time...]
"Hey Gwen, what would you do if you could travel in time?"
"I don't know. There's so many things you can do with that kind of power."
"I'd check out to see what happened in the past."
Ben and Gwen were chatting about what they would do if they had time powers. But while they were doing so...
*Fwoosh! Flash!* "Ben! Gwen!"
A yellow portal appeared, and out came a certain man. "Wh...-What?" Ben muttered before looking at the man in shock. Then, he said "-WH-WH-Who are you? -A-And how do you know our names?!".
"Greetings Tennysons, I am Professor Paradox. A time traveller."
We all know that Present Ben has met Professor Paradox before when he was 10 years old. Unfortunately, him forgetting who Professor Paradox is is one of the side effects of Eon and Vilgax messing with time.
Ben: WAIT WHAT?!
Professor Paradox: Yes, I came to warn the both of you and your grandpa about something.
Ben: What?
Professor Paradox: Future versions of Vilgax and Eon are going to come here soon. And they want to destroy you Ben Tennyson.
Ben: -WAIT WHAT?!
Gwen: *GASPS*
Professor Paradox: I'm going to help you get ready for the fight Ben.
Ben: Alright.
Paradox then held Ben's left arm and looked at the Omnitrix. Then, he used his time hand to blast the Omnitrix lightly and gently. Sounds similar to one of those old big clocks were heard as the time hand was blasting, followed by the beeping of the Omnitrix.
*DING! DING! DING! -BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-*
Once the time hand was done blasting, the Omnitrix stopped beeping. Then, Professor Paradox said "Check the Omnitrix Ben, there's a new alien in there that will help you fight future Eon and Vilgax.". So Ben did, and when the Omnitrix's dial popped up... it revealed Clockwork's icon. Now, this Ben didn't know Clockwork yet. So he asked "WHOA! What's this alien?". "Your future self named him Clockwork, he has time powers." Professor Paradox replied. "-Y-YOU SAW MY FUTURE SELF?! -Tell me! What does he look like? Is he stronger? Is he better at beating bad guys? How many more aliens are there in the Omnitrix in the future?" said Ben.
Professor Paradox: 1, yes. I did see your future self. I help him when he needs me or when I can. 2, he looks like you. Only taller. 3, yes. And 4, there are 28 aliens in this Ben's Omnitrix.
Ben: 28?! Cool! But wait, I thought there'd be MORE aliens in the future!
Professor Paradox: You eventually had lots more forms in the Omnitrix, but that happened in the far, far future.
Ben: COOL!
Professor Paradox: Where's your grandpa Ben and Gwen?
Ben and Gwen were about to answer, but they didn't have to. They and Paradox suddenly saw Max walking from the distance holding plastic bags that looked like they were from a shop.
Max: Whew! Back just in time for- -Wh...-Who are you?
Professor Paradox: Greetings Max Tennyson, I am Professor Paradox. A time traveller.
Max: O...k? So what are you here for?
Professor Paradox: I've come to warn you and your kids about something. These two here already know it but you don't. So I'll tell you. Future versions of Eon and Vilgax are coming here. They're going to try and destroy Ben.
Max: I'm not going to let that happen!
Professor Paradox: Then get ready everyone.
Immediately, that's what the Tennysons did. Max and Gwen put on their plumber suits, Gwen got her spell book. She didn't get the Staff Of Ages because it dosen't work. And Ben turned into Clockwork.
Once everyone was ready, the Tennysons nodded at each other. -Then...
*FWOOSH! FWOOSH!* "-BEN TENNYSON! I HAVE COME TO GET RID OF YOU... -ONCE AND FOR ALL!"
Ben: Vilgax... Eon... *Thinks to himself* "Whoa, Vilgax looks tougher! I wonder what he did to himself?"
Max: GET THEM!
As soon as Max said that, he, Ben, Gwen and Paradox started running towards Vilgax and Eon. Ben shot a time blast from the middle part on the front of his body, but Eon put up a purple shield before trying to use a time blast back at Ben who managed to dodge.
"Ablita Plazita!" yelled Gwen. Suddenly, Eon was frozen in ice! But Vilgax saw what happened and broke the ice by punching it. Just then, Ben managed to immobilize Vilgax using another time blast. "-H-HUH?!" Eon said surprised, then Gwen said "Sornis Ratentio!". Immediately, small rocks were thrown at Eon! "-AGH-AGH-OW-OW-OOF-OW-OW-OW-" Eon kept on saying before he ran out of the way.
Ben used another time blast to try and immobilize Eon, but Eon used to time powers to make himself faster and started running. However, Ben could do the same and chased after him.
"Gotta get away from him!" Eon thought as he was being chased by Ben. It took a while, but eventually Ben managed to catch up with Eon, tackle him and pin him to the ground.
*BAM!* "OOGH!"
Ben and Eon grunted as one of them tried to get the other off, while one of them was trying to pin the other down. -Then...
*-FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!* "-AGH!" *-CRASH!* "OOMPH!"
Eon suddenly blasted Ben! "-AGH!" Ben yelled as he was sent flying. While he was in the air, he hit some trees! "OOMPH!" he said as he fell down. -Then...
*-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-FRUSH-FRUSH-FRUSH-FRUSH-CRASH-CRASH-CRASH-CRASH!*
The trees fell on Ben! Once they fell, Ben groaned and said "...Oooggghhh...". Then, he got up and used time powers to put him back into the state where he didn't feel weak. -But then...
*-FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!* "-AAH!"
A big continuous purple blast was sent his way! Luckily, he managed to dodge. "Whoa! That was close!" Ben thought as he turned to look at the direction where the blast came from. But just as he did... -Eon suddenly came rushing at him before punching him!
*BAM!* "OOGH!" *Thump!* "Oof!"
This made Ben fall again. Eon then started punching and kicking him. "OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW! HEY! STOP THAT!" said Ben as he punched Eon off. Then, something happened. The Omnitrix made a notification. It was information about Clockwork. Apparently, some of the things Clockwork can do actually consumes his energy. Doing these things can make him tire faster. Like speeding himself up using time powers. "Wh...-WHAT?!" said Ben as he looked at Clockwork's info. But then...
*-FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!* "-AAH!"
Eon tried using a time blast at Ben again! "-AAH!" said Ben as he dodged. Then, more and more time blasts came. "Gotta get outta here!" Ben thought as he sped up time on himself and started running super fast, Eon did the same and followed him. "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE FROM ME!" Eon yelled as Ben kept running.
Meanwhile in the spot where Max, Gwen and Paradox are, Vilgax was nowhere to be seen. He was now gone.
Gwen: Well, that was easy.
Professor Paradox: Yeah, thanks to what Ben did.
Max: Now we only got Eon left.
It turns out Max and Gwen blasted Vilgax to bits with lasers, and Paradox made him and the body parts that were scattered vanish out of existence using time powers. "Now, where's Eon." said Max, -suddenly...
*-FWOOSH! -FWOOSH!*
Ben and Eon sped back to the spot where Gwen, Max and Paradox were! Then, they continued to fight.
Ben: *Punches Eon!* You're not the only one with time powers!
Eon: *Takes out energy katana and tries to slash Ben with it but misses* So I'm not. *Tries slashing Ben again a few more times but keeps missing*
Eon kept on trying to slash Ben with his katana, but Ben managed to dodge everytime. Then, Ben tried using another time blast. But Eon ducked and punched him.
*BAM!* "Ow!"
"GET AWAY FROM MY GRANDSON!" yelled Max as he started firing at Eon. "-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-" Eon kept saying as he got hit by the lasers before using his time powers to make them vanish. "Atrenalis Pitralis!" Gwen yelled as yellow energy came out of her hand. Eon saw the blast coming to him, but because it came to him so fast he couldn't react in time. And ended up getting paralyzed a bit by it. "...Uuu... .UUURRRGGGHHH! -I...-I can't move!" said Eon.
Ben groaned before getting up. He saw that Eon couldn't move, "-Wh-Wha?" Ben said in confusion. "I PARALYZED HIM! HURRY BEN BEFORE THE SPELL LOSES EFFECT!" Gwen yelled. Then, Ben rushed at Eon before punching him sending him flying across. Then...
*DING! DING! DING! -FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
As Eon was flying, Ben unleashed a big time blast from his chest. Once the blast hit Eon, Eon's body started crumbling. Soon, Gwen's spell lost its effect and Eon could move again. But his body was slowly crumbling more and more, "-NO. -NO. -NO-NO-NO-NO-NO!" Eon shouted as he tried stopping what Ben was doing. But since Eon spent almost half of his energy in fighting, he was having a hard time doing so.
"...Uuu... -UUURRRGGGHHH!" Eon kept groaning as he tried moving. But more of his body was crumbling, so he couldn't move much. Just as it looked like Eon was going to be defeated once and for all...
*FLASH! DING! DING! DING! FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! BAM!* "AGH!" *BAM!* "OOF!"
Someone appeared! It was... -MALTRUANT?! Ben saw him and was SURPRISED. He didn't know him yet. Maltruant started spinning his head piece. As he did, big old clock sounds were heard. Maltruant then started blasting at Ben! Who got sent flying and hit the ground hard! "OOF!" said Ben as he fell.
Eon's body stopped crumbling, but he was REALLY WEAKENED. Maltruant saw him and reversed what Ben just did. Once Eon's body was normal again, he got ready.
Ben groaned getting up, when he did he saw Maltruant. Then, he said "-Wh...-WHO ARE YOU?!". "You can just call me Maltruant." Maltruant replied. "WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE MALTRUANT?!" Ben asked, "To help Vilgax and Eon get rid of you once and for all. -W-Wait. Where's Vilgax?" Maltruant replied again. "He's gone! We took care of him!" yelled a voice. It was Gwen, she, Max and Paradox readied themselves just in case something was about to happen. Maltruant just chose to not mind what Gwen said, and instead tried using a time blast at her! "-AAH!" Gwen yelled as she saw the time blast coming towards her! Luckily, Ben was able to put up a shield to block it in time.
"C'mon! Let's get 'em!" yelled Max as he started firing using his blaster, Paradox was shooting yellow blasts using his cane. And Gwen was searching for a spell she could use in the spell book.
"Coralis Altiere!"
*-FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-* "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"
Gwen used the Coralis Altiere spell, making a strong wind blow at Eon and Maltruant. While Eon and Maltruant were distracted by the wind, Ben took the chance to fire blasts at them. "OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-OOF-OW-OW-ARGH-OOF-OW-" Eon and Maltruant kept saying. Then, Maltruant sped up time on himself and quickly got Eon out of the wind's range.
"I don't think so!" said Paradox as he used his time hand to immobilize Eon and Maltruant with time powers. Ben then took the chance to blast them again. Making them fall. Max then shot a lot of power strings at Eon and Maltruant. Tying and electrocuting them. But of course they couldn't react because they were immobilized.
*BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG- -KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-KZZZZZZZZT-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-*
Maltruant is trying to move. He just needs to be able to struggle a bit to be able to spin his head piece so that he could reverse what Paradox did to him and Eon. But it was too hard for him. Ben tried to take the chance to use a time blast at Maltruant and Eon. -But then... -Maltruant's head piece was suddenly spinning! I guess Maltruant must've finally been able to struggle enough.
In seconds, Maltruant and Eon could move again. Maltruant then used his powers to make the power strings vanish out of existence. "-RRRGGGHHH!" said Eon as he got his energy katana and tried to slash Ben so fast. But luckily, Professor Paradox sped up time on himself and was able to block the katana using his cane.
*KLANG!*
Paradox and Eon ended up struggling to push the other's weapon off for a while. Then, they both jumped back a bit far from each other before starting to charge again.
*KLANG! KLANG-KLANG-KLANG-KLANG-KLANG-KLANG-KLANG-KLANG-KLANG-KLANG-KLANG-KLANG-*
Professor Paradox and Eon used the cane and katana against each other. Their weapons clashed for a while before Paradox managed to immobilize Eon using a time blast. Maltruant tried using a blast to help Eon be able to move again, but a power string was shot at him!
*BANG! FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH- -KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-* "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"
"-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" Maltruant yelled as he was being electrocuted before he fell down again. But Maltruant was strong, so he just made the power string disappear before he got up. "-YAAH!" Maltruant heard someone yell. It was Ben. Ben managed to punch Maltruant in the face before giving him an uppercut.
"Coralis Erachna!" Gwen uttered. Then, fire started appearing from the ground. This time, it was a bit stronger. I guess Gwen must've had some time to improve her ability to use and control the spells she can use. The fire went over Maltruant as he was in the air. When Maltruant fell, fire was still on him. But he just made the fire vanish. "...Uuunnnggghhh..." Maltruant groaned while getting up.
Just then, Max came in and started firing at Maltruant with his blaster. Some of the lasers hit Maltruant, but the chronosapien made some of them vanish. "YAAH!" Max yelled as he punched Maltruant twice before kicking him in the leg. "ARGH!" said Maltruant. While Maltruant was a bit dizzy, Max took the chance to whack him in the head with his blaster before firing lasers at him again. -Then...
*-CHAKK! -SLASH-SLASH!* "ARGH!"
Max managed to stab Maltruant in the chest using his blaster's energy bayonet! He was able to stab above the circular part where chronosapiens can blast from. Then, Max pulled the bayonet out of Maltruant's chest and slashed him twice. "ARGH!" said Maltruant as he held his face and body in pain. Then, Max kicked Maltruant before shooting more lasers at him.
*BAM! THUMP!* "Oomph!"
While Maltruant was laying on the ground, Max took the chance to attack him. He whacked Maltruant on the front middle part of his body that he could use to send out blasts. "AGH!" shouted Maltruant as the middle part of his body started to form CRACKS!
Maltruant: *Sees that the middle part of his body is starting to form cracks* -H-HUH?!
Max kept on hitting the middle part of Maltruant. More cracks started appearing on it. Max was using his blaster to whack so fast that eventually... Maltruant's middle body part COMPLETELY SHATTERED!
*-WHAM-WHAM-WHAM-WHAM-WHAM-WHAM-WHAM-WHAM-WHAM! -SMASH!* "AGH!"
Pieces of Maltruant's middle body part fell on the ground. Max still kept on whacking Maltruant. Ben helped by using a time blast to immobilize the evil chronosapien. Max then continued whacking Maltruant. But as he was doing so...
*KLANG! KLANG-KLANG-KLANG-KLANG!*
He heard some klanging. It was Paradox and Eon! Eon somehow managed to make himself be able to move again, I guess he has time powers and he's strong. "You're always getting in my way!" Eon yelled at Paradox as he dashed at him before trying to slash him with his katana repeatedly.
*SLASH!* "Argh!"
This time, Professor Paradox was hit! "Oomph!" he said as he fell down, then blood started dripping from his left arm. When he saw it, he looked up and looked angrily at Eon. Who suddenly dashed at him and yelled "-RRRRAAAGGGHHH!" before slashing him!
*-SLASH!* "ARGH!"
Professor Paradox was slashed on the stomach this time! "ARGH!" he yelled again as he held it. "RRRAAAGGGHHH!" Eon roared as he kicked Paradox in the head sending him flying across a bit!
*BAM!* "-OOGH-"
Professor Paradox ended up laying on the ground. "-HEY!" yelled Ben before trying to use another time blast. Unfortunately, Eon managed to dodge and blast him back! "Agh!" Ben said as the blast hit him in the face! Eon then dashed towards Ben and started punching him repeatedly super fast!
*-BAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAM-* "Urgh!"
Ben was able to block most of the punches, but some of them hit and weakened him. "Urgh!" said Ben as he was forced to jump back. "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Eon shouted again before trying to charge at Ben with his katana and a purple energy ball on the other hand.
Luckily, Ben was able to react in time. He sped up time on himself to get out of the way. Then, as Eon accidentally went past him he shot a time blast at his energy katana. Once Ben's time blast hit Eon's katana, it slowly started to crumble. "-H-HUH?!" said Eon as he looked at his weapon. Then, he said "NONONONONONO-" before trying to reverse what Ben did. But it was too late. The katana crumbled and vanished out of existence.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT, BOY!" yelled Eon angrily before trying to dash towards Ben again. "Ablita Plazita!" yelled Gwen, making ice trap Eon. Now was Ben's chance. He charged up on time power energy. The middle part of his body started glowing brightly. -Then...
*-FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
Ben shot a very big time blast at Eon! Which broke the ice and sent him flying high into the sky! "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" Eon yelled as he flew high into the air. While he was in mid-air, his body started to crumble. He gasped as he tried reversing what Ben did, but it was too late.
No matter how much Eon tried reversing what Ben did, he only slowed down the crumbling of his body. But he couldn't stop it. Eventually, he disappeared into nothingness. "-AAAAAAHHHHHHH-" Eon managed to yell out before he disappeared.
"YAAH! YAAH! YAAH! YAAH!" *BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!*
Max was still whacking Maltruant, who was trying to use his time powers to make himself be able to move again. But some of his parts were already broken, so he was having a hard time.
"YAAH! YAAH! YAAH! YAAH!" *BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!*
As Max kept on whacking and beating up Maltruant, the chronosapien struggled more and more. Slowly, his head piece began to spin. Then...
*DING! DING! DING!*
It spun faster... and faster... and faster... and faster. Until Maltruant was able to immobilize Max by shooting out a time blast from the middle of his body. "AGH-" Max managed to yell out before he was immobilized, Maltruant then kicked him off.
After Maltruant kicked Max off, he yelled "YOU LITTLE BITCH!" before rushing up to him. But before Maltrunat could do anything to Max, a big light blue blast hit him.
*-FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!* "AGH!" *BAM!*
The blast came from Ben, who came just in time. Then, he saw Max. "GRANDPA!" Ben yelled as he rushed over to the old man. Ben tried shaking Max, but nothing happened. Then, Ben noticed that Max's body was like a statue. So he figured he was paralyzed or something.
Ben wasn't the only one who came into the scene. Gwen was there too. "WHAT HAPPENED?!" she said, she saw Max as well. "He must've been paralyzed or something." Ben replied, then he tried something. Ben used a time blast at Max. After that, Max was able to move again. "Thanks." said Max, Ben just nodded. Ben would smile right now if he could, but Clockwork's face can't move.
"...Aaa... AARRRGGGHHH!" Maltruant groaned as he got back up. Then, he shouted "ALL OF YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" before shooting another time blast. Ben then shot a time blast of his own and managed to hit Maltruant's blast. Together, the two blasts were trying to push on.
Ben and Maltruant groaned as their time blasts kept on trying to push each other. "Coralis Erachna!" Gwen shouted, making fire go over Maltruant again. "URGH!" Maltruant groaned. This gave Ben the chance to make his blast push Maltruant's back. Once Ben's blast got to Maltruant, the evil chronosapien got immobilized.
Maltruant stood there, not being able to move. Gwen saw this and said "-NOW BEN!". Ben charged up on energy to prepare for a strong attack. "-HRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ben shouted as he was preparing for his attack. -Then...
*-FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
He blasted at Maltruant. The evil chronosapien's body then slowly started crumbling, but as time went on it got a little bit faster. And faster. And faster. And faster. And faster. Until the crumbling became so fast. -Then...
"-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" *Ffffffffffffffrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuussssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!*
Maltruant yelled as he disappeared. His body turned into dust and flew away into nothingness. One by one, the dust flew into the air. Soon, all of it vanished.
Once Maltruant was gone, Ben stopped. "Finally. He's gone." he said.
Meanwhile, someone groaned. It was Professor Paradox. He just healed the injuries Eon gave him with his time powers. Paradox's injuries would've healed sooner, if Eon wasn't the one that gave them. Paradox sped up time on himself to get to where Ben was.
*FWOOSH!*
Once Professor Paradox found Ben, he called his name. "Huh?" said Ben as he turned to look at who called him. When he did, he said "Professor Paradox?". "Where's Eon?" Professor Paradox asked, "Gone. I blasted him out of existence." Ben answered. "What about Maltruant?" Paradox asked again, "Gone as well. I just blasted him out of existence too." Ben answered again. But then...
*-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FLASH!*
"H-Huh?!" "Huh?!" "Huh?!"
A yellow portal suddenly appeared! And out came... -MALTRUANT?! Everyone gasped as they saw him. "RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" Maltruant yelled before shooting time blasts out of his hands. "WHOA!" everyone said as they got out of the way.
"-H...-HOW?!" said Ben, he was SHOCKED. But he tried attacking back using a blast anyway. However, Maltruant blocked it by putting up a shield. "-H...-HOW DID YOU..." Ben started saying, but before he could finish what he was saying Maltruant blasted him!
"AGH!" Ben yelled as he fell down. "...Uuunnnggghhh..." he groaned as he got up. Then, he noticed something on his body. There was a burn and a crack on a part of his chest! Ben gasped in surprise. "Hehehe..." Maltruant laughed creepily before jumping high and stomping on Ben!
*SMASH!* "URGH!" *-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-WHAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-WHAM-WHAM-BAM-WHAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-WHAM-BAM-*
After Maltruant stomped on Ben, he started BEATING HIM UP! Max and Gwen used their blasters to blast Maltruant away. Gwen then started searching for a spell she could use in the spell book again.
"Sornis Ratentio!" *-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-* "-AGH-AGH-ARGH-OOF-ARGH-"
Small stones began flying and hitting Maltruant, forcing him to take some steps back. What was strange was that some of Maltruant's parts started breaking! I guess Maltruant is rusted in many parts of him so those parts would break eventually.
*-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-*
More small stones kept on hitting Maltruant, breaking more of his body parts. "No... -NO!" Maltruant yelled as he tried to stop Gwen. But before he could do anything, Max stabbed him with his blaster's bayonet! "AGH!" Maltruant yelled, then Max grabbed him and threw him before rushing up to him and using his blaster to whack his rusted body parts.
*-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-* "NO! STOP!" *-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-*
Slowly, the rusted parts of Maltruant began breaking and falling off. "-NO... -NO... -NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Maltruant yelled, but Max just kept on whacking him and breaking his rusted parts.
*-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-*
"Agh..." Maltruant groaned as he took some steps back. He held his body in pain. Many of his body parts were broken or gone. "GIVE UP MALTRUANT! IT'S OVER!" yelled Max.
Maltruant was weakened. He felt like he couldn't move much anymore. But he still had some energy left. Then, he yelled "-ALL OF YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!". The Tennysons and Paradox got ready just in case.
"-RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Maltruant yelled as he used the last of his energy to form a big continuous yellow blast. He shot the blast at Ben, who fired his own blast back.
*-BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!*
The two blasts hit each other. When they did, they tried pushing the other back. Ben and Maltruant grunted as they struggled to make their blasts go farther.
"Atrenalis Pitralis!" said Gwen as she used a magic blast on Maltruant. "Agh!" said Maltraunt as he was hit by the blast. Gwen many have used the Atrenalis Pitralis spell, but Maltruant was still able to move. Just not as much, but just enough. Gwen is still kind of new to this magic thing I guess.
"-RRR...-RRRGGGHHH!" Maltruant groaned as he struggled to make his blast go farther, but since he got hit by Gwen's blast he was having a hard time. "RRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ben yelled as he managed to make his blast push Maltruant's back and hit Maltruant.
*-FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
As Ben's blast hit Maltruant, the evil chronosapien's body started to crumble. Maltruant looked at what was happening to his body. "-NO... -NO!" he started saying. The, Ben made his blast stronger. Making Maltruant's body crumble faster.
Slowly, more and more of Maltruant's body crumbled into nothingness. Maltruant tried doing something, but he was too weak. As Ben's blast got stronger and stronger, Maltruant's body started crumbling faster and faster. This went on until less than half of his body was left. -Then...
"-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" *FFFRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
Maltruant finally disappeared. He turned into dust before flying into the air and disappearing. After that, Ben stopped blasting.
"Finally, I hope he dosen't come back again." said Ben, "Let's get ready just in case he does." said Max. So he, Ben, Gwen and Paradox did. They waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited. But Maltruant didn't come back, but they kept their guard for a little bit longer just to be sure.
The Tennysons and Paradox continued to wait. But there was still no sign of Maltruant. After a few more minutes, there was still no sign of Maltruant. I guess this means he's really gone now. "Guys, I think he's gone." said Ben, "Phew! Let's hope he dosen't just pop out of nowhere." said Gwen.
"So, is everything good again?" asked Ben, "No, not yet. There are still things in time which are still messed up. The 10 year old version of yourself never got the Omnitrix because of Vilgax and Eon messing with time, a future version of yourself has vanished into nothingness because of Eon. There are also others that died. Like Xylene and your grandpa and cousin from the future." Professor Paradox replied. "-WAIT WHAT?!" Ben said in shock, "Yes. I'd fix everything that went wrong instantly. But that's not what's planned for time. And usually, when something's not planned for time it means I can't do it." Paradox replied again.
Ben: -B...-But you're a time traveller! Can't you find a way around your problems?
Professor Paradox: It's not easy. And it's not that simple. And it's dangerous too.
Ben: So what now?
Before Ben's question could be answered, a familiar beeping came.
*BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP! FLASH!*
It was the Omnitrix timing out! Once Ben turned back into a human, he looked at himself. Then he said "-NONONONONONONO! Not now! I need to fix stuff in time!". Ben looked around, then he asked "Uh.. grandpa? Do we have anything that can fix things in time? Or Gwen, do you have any spells that can fix things in time?". "-I...-I don't know. I'll check." replied Max, "Lemme see." added Gwen as she looked through the spell book."
Max and Gwen both looked for something that could fix these time-related problems. But after a while, they couldn't find anything that could help them.
Gwen: Sorry Ben. I can't find a spell that I can use right now. I'm only a beginner at this magic stuff. So I can't use super powerful spells yet.
Max: I can't find anything that can help us either.
Ben: Great, what now?
Just as Ben said that, a light blue portal suddenly appeared out of nowhere. And out came... -Azmuth?!
"H-Huh?!" said Ben as he saw Azmuth come out of the portal. "Oh, he's here." said Paradox, "Who?" asked Ben. "Azmuth." Paradox replied. Just as Paradox said that, Azmuth finished walking through the portal before it closed. "I heard there was a problem here." said Azmuth.
Professor Paradox: Yes, this Ben's Omnitrix has timed out. If it didn't, he could've turned everything back to normal again using Clockwork. Will you help us?
Azmuth: I'll see what I can do.
This Ben had never seen Azmuth before, so he asked "-Wh-Who's that? And he's... a Grey Matter?". "His name's Azmuth, and he's one of the most intelligent galvans in the universe." Professor Paradox replied.
Azmuth climbed onto Ben's left arm before looking at the Omnitrix. Then, he started twisting the dial back and forth. When he did, the dial got removed. Without the dial, the spot where it should be was just an empty hole. "Wait, what're you doing?" Ben asked Azmuth, "Trying to see if the Omnitrix can be used to fix everything that went wrong." replied Azmuth. "You're going to make the Omnitrix do that?!" Ben said surprised, "Yes." said Azmuth. "You sure you know what you're doing?" Ben asked again, "Yes, after all I am the one who made the Omnitrix." Azmuth replied again.
*-GASP!*
Ben COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! Azmuth was the creator of the Omnitrix?! No way! Ben also thought he was too small to make something like the Omnitrix. But after seeing Azmuth do stuff with the Omnitrix's dial, he had to believe it. But still there was a bit of doubt in him. So he asked
"A... Are you really the one who made the Omnitrix?!"
"Yes, I just told you."
"Oh, right. I forgot to tell you about the part where Azmuth is the creator of the Omnitrix." Professor Paradox said to Ben. "-H-HUH?!" Ben said back. Then, Ben watched as Azmuth continued doing stuff with the Omnitrix's dial.
Azmuth: Hmm...
Ben: -Wh...-What?
While Azmuth was working on the Omnitrix's dial, he saw Professor Paradox's time hand. Then, he climbed up to Paradox's arm before grabbing it and saying "I'll need this for a few seconds." before jumping down.
Once Azmuth had the time hand, he activated it. Then...
*-FLAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
He made it blast lightly at the Omnitrix dial. The dial then started making weird noises, but Azmuth wasn't worried. Seems like he knows what he's doing. Then, the Omnitrix symbol started switching from its normal mode to form selection mode back and forth. "Uhh... Azmuth?" asked Ben nervously, "Wait." Azmuth just said as he kept on working.
*-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH- -CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE- -KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
As Azmuth continued to work. The Omnitrix dial started doing weird things. The symbol was switching between normal and form selection mode super fast, the dial's screen started glitching and blue sparks were coming out of the dial. "-AZMUTH!" Ben yelled, "Don't worry, everything's under control." Azmuth replied. "-DOSEN'T LOOK THAT WAY!" Ben yelled again.
*-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH- -CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE- -FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH- -KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!*
The weird things that were happening to the Omnitrix dial just got EVEN WEIRDER! And more sparks were coming out of it! Then, light blue light started glowing so bright on the Omnitrix symbol! "IT'S GONNA BLOW!" shouted Gwen. -Then
*-FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
A big flash of blue light suddenly came out! The Tennysons and Paradox covered their eyes so that they wouldn't be bothered by the brightness. Once the flash of light was gone, everyone uncovered their eyes and looked over to see what happened. Nothing much. But if anyone took a closer look, they'd see that something did happen. The bottom half of the Omnitrix dial's symbol had lighter shades of blue dropping down on it like sand. Kind of like an hourglass. Well, I gess the Omnitrix symbol does kind of look like an hourglass. After the bottom part of the Omnitrix symbol was filled with lighter shades of blue, the screen then showed something like the face of a normal watch with hands. Then, the hands started spinning super fast. Followed by big old clock sounds.
*DING! DING! DING!*
After the Omnitrix dial made big clock sounds, Azmuth put it back on the Omnitrix itself. Then, he twisted the dial twice before saying "Raise your left arm up Ben, the Omnitrix will do the rest." to Ben. So Ben did. He raised his left arm up. When he did, the Omnitrix dial started spinning super fast and glowing super bright. -Then...
*-FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
Super bright blue light came out of it! Blue sparks came from the light and went everywhere. Gwen, Max and Paradox watched in surprise as the Omnitrix was doing its thing.
More flashes of blue light began appearing on the surroundings. Then, more appeared from even farther away. This went on... and on... and on... and on. "-WH...-WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" Ben said, "Wait for it." replied Azmuth. -Then...
*-FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*
The Omnitrix suddenly let out A SUPER BIG FLASH of blue light! After that, the light stopped. "-H...-Huh?" said Ben as he looked around. Then he asked Azmuth "-Wh...-What happened?". "Everything's all good again." Azmuth replied. Ben gasped and said "-WHOA! -THAT... WAS... -AMAZING!". Then he added "-QUICK! Let's use this power so that we can make everything good!". "-I... -I can't help you with that..." said Azmuth, "-H-HUH?! -B-BUT WHY NOT?! -YOU JUST FIXED EVERYTHING THAT WENT WRONG A WHILE AGO! SO OF COURSE YOU CAN HELP ME!" Ben added. Then, Azmuth said "What you're thinking isn't planned for time. So I can't help you.". "C'mon Azmuth! You made the Omnitrix! So can't you find a way around this problem?!" Ben continued. "No, if we try what you're thinking there will be consequences." Azmuth added on.
Ben: Like what?
Azmuth: Celestialsapiens would get angry we did something that wasn't planned for time. And so would the chronosapiens. Other god-like beings would get angry as well.
Ben: But why?!
Azmuth: I don't know.
Ben: -BUT THAT'S WEIRD, WHY DON'T THEY LIKE EVERYTHING TO GET BETTER?!
Azmuth: Like I said, the whole not planned for time thing. And they have this weird thing for "keeping the balance of the universe".
Ben: Keeping the balance of the universe? What do you mean?
Azmuth: They just want everything to happen as it should. Unfortunately, that also means the world and the universe not getting better. They're dumb. I don't know why they do this "balance" nonsense.
Azmuth was about to say more, but he realized it was time for him to go. So he said "I'm sorry Ben, but I must go now. I'm not supposed to stay here for too long. Y'know... the whole planned for time thing.". Then, Ben said "-WAIT, I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!". "Your questions will most probably be answered in the future, but I must go now. Good luck Ben." Azmuth replied before a light blue portal appeared. Then, he walked through it before it closed again.
"Oh man! But I had so many questions!" said Ben, then he turned to Professor Paradox and said "What about you Professor Paradox? Can I ask you some questions?". But Paradox just said "Unfortunately, it is my time to go as well. Just like Azmuth said. The whole "planned for time" thing. But I'm sure your questions will be answered in the future just like Azmuth said." before using his time hand that he grabbed from the ground earlier to make a yellow portal.
Professor Paradox: *Starts walking inside the portal* See you Ben Tennyson, and good luck to you as well. *Finishes walking through the portal before it closes*
Ben: WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT- Oh man!
Ben wanted to ask some questions, but now he couldn't do that anymore. "It's okay Ben, they said your questions will be answered in the future." Gwen said, but that didn't make Ben feel better about the whole thing. But since he couldn't do anything about it now he just decided to quickly move on.
"Come on guys, let's get back in the Rustbucket." said Ben, Gwen and Max agreed before going with him.
[Meanwhile...]
Vilgax, Eon and Maltruant were somehow back after being defeated. But once they managed to regroup, they talked to each other for a bit before going their seperate ways. I'm not sure what they talked about, but I do know one thing for sure. They'll be back.
A LOT of crazy things happened in this episode and the other two before it. What other crazy things will the Tennysons see in the future? We won't know until they happen. But for now, this is the end of this episode. Find out what happens to the Tennysons next on Ben 10 Alternate Dimension.
