Bat Trouble
"Finally my masterpiece is nearly complete" Heatbat stated proudly as he finished connecting the last two wires together
"uh boss" Bubble Helmet started
"yes?"
"what is that exactly?"
"in terms that you would understand it will make all of you buffoons stronger and more capable in fighting" everyone's eyes widened at that "however in order for it to do that I am going to have to acquire an Omnitrix" everyone got a look of defeat on their faces
"*braak*so what you're saying is we need to capture Tennyson?" Liam questioned
"not exactly, I've found out that there just so happens to be another wielder of an Omnitrix in Undertown right now and I shall retrieve him" and with that Heatbat flew out of the lair while leaving his henchmen wondering who else had an Omnitrix besides Ben Tennyson. Heatbat was now flying over Undertown trying to pinpoint the voice, he soon found it and saw a figure wearing red walking through the semi-busy street he then flew down with incredible speed and grabbed his target right off the street by his arms with his feet and flew off to his lair
"let go of me you vial creature" Albedo ordered as he struggled to reach his Ultimatrix but Heatbat kept his arms firmly apart
"yeah that's not gonna happen just yet knock off" Heatbat replied, surprising Albedo that the odd looking creature could speak, as he continued flying.
Once they had entered his lair he flew down and slammed Albedo down on a large table followed by clamps coming out of the table and pinning Albedo down before Heatbat got off of him "may I ask who you are and why you now have me pinned down to a table"
"short answer I'm Heatbat and you have something that I need" Albedo shot a quick glance at his Ultimatrix "yes your Omnitrix"
"it's called an Ultimatrix, and why would I give it to you?"
"well let's just put it this way remove it by yourself now or I shall remove it myself in a very uncivilised manner"
"as earthlings say; screw you"
"well you can't say I wasn't fair" Heatbat responded before he unleashed a powerful flamethrower on Albedo. When he stopped all that remained of Albedo was a pile of ashes and a charred black Ultimatrix, all of Heatbat's henchmen began backing away at this, Heatbat then picked up the Ultimatrix off the floor and walked over to a large laser. Once the Ultimatrix had been fully installed into the laser Heatbat turned it on and the laser and it lit up "this is the same type ray gun that Dr. Animo used to make me but I've given it some major upgrades and now I can choose which alien DNA I can use instead of it being completely random" Heatbat then turned to his lackies "alright you chunks of filth, which one of you is going to be the guinea pig for my laser" the henchmen just muttered unsure of what to say "alright then the next one of you that says the stupidest thing is first to get zapped"
"um how stupid are we talking about" a Bouncer asked
"perfect now stand over there or else you'll end up like him" Heatbat said while pointing to Albedo's ashes the Bouncer quickly got into position "now to test it out" he aimed the laser at the Bouncer, he selected the right DNA and fired and in a flash in the Bouncers places place was a slightly overweight purple skinned Tetramand
The Bouncer was quite shocked at his new appearance "excellent it works!" Heatbat exclaimed before regaining his composure and turned to the rest of his cronies "now who's next?" he asked they responded by giving enthusiastic 'me's' and he began zapping them mutated them with half their race with the half of another race (Bubble Helmet, Fistina, and Liam are the same as they looked in Outbreak):
Tummyhead had been mutated with Transylian DNA so now he had longer bulkier legs, two red conductor coils on his back, blue pants instead of overalls, black gloves with his fingers showing, one face, a head and neck, and his face resembled Tummyhead's only with dummyhead's black and red eyes
Thunderpig had been mutated with Loboan DNA so his legs were now longer with an extra joint, his fur had now had a very faint greyness to it, his head was now shaped to that of a wolfs with his nose still being that of a pigs, his tusks now pointed down like fangs and his fingers now had razor sharp claws.
Sweet-Eels had been mutated with Amperi DNA his head now resembled that of a Amperian he had four arms and his skin was now light blue
The Pickaxe Aliens had been mutated with different types of DNA making them all unique
Bug-Lite had been mutated with Lepidopterran DNA giving him wings, a tail, and 4 stalk-like eyes
The Nightmarish Alien had been mutated with Gourmand DNA turning his purple coloured skin green, he now only had two black and white eyes, and his tentacles had 3 claws on the ends.
And the Hooded Alien also known as Flecha was mutated with Necrofriggian DNA, his hood was now blue, his fingers now had claws, his green skin now had a blue tinge to it, and his eyes now resembled a Necrofriggian's only they were blue.
Heatbat looked at his new and improved henchmen "excellent, now for a field test, go out there and rob every single being you can, and don't forget to cause as much destruction as you can" Heatbat ordered and his henchmen left the lair eager to test out their new abilities "this should be worth watching" and he too left the lair ready to see how the fruits of his labour had worked out.
Meanwhile
Ben and Rook were travelling through Bellwood in Rook's truck, looking for any signs of trouble, Ben however wasn't happy "man I can think of a heap of more productive things I could be doing now"
"I am slightly inclined to agree, there has been very little activity aside from the thefts Heatbat's henchmen have made" Rook said
"wanna see if anything is happening in Undertown?"
"might as well seeing as how we have searched nearly all of Bellwood so far" Rook then turned into a familiar old factory and parked in the back.
The two got out and headed for the back door, Ben knocked on the door "let me in" he said and the door swung open and he and Rook walked in
"I am quite impressed that you are able to get such a quick response"
"eh you just got to know how to talk to them" they then took the elevator down into Undertown. When they arrived however they were greeted by a lot of destruction and injured people, Ben and Rook rushed over to an alien that happened to be K8-E who was trying to stand up "K8-E what happened?" Ben asked her
"a group of weird looking aliens just came out of nowhere and started attacking and stealing everything" she said as Ben and Rook got her into a sitting position, looking at the other injured aliens in the area Ben looked at Rook
"Rook I need you to call the Plumbers and get them to send as many medics as they can, once they arrive inform them of the situation and then come and find me, I may need your help, okay?" Ben said, Rook nodded with a serious face and Ben flew off while Rook called in the Plumber's.
Ben quickly located the group that were using different types of techniques to cause as much pain and destruction as they could "HEY!" Ben shouted as he landed on the ground causing them all to both stop and look at him with sneers. Ben raised his eyebrow as he looked at all of the odd looking aliens "okay normally I'd give you a chance to redeem yourselves but considering on what you've done, I'm not giving you that chance" he said
"you don't know who we are do you?" an odd looking Transylian said in a very familiar voice
"*braak* our boss has given us a major upgrade" an odd looking Vaxasaurian said
Ben's eyes widened "you're Heatbat's gang!?" he exclaimed
"indeed we are" Flecha said crossing his arms
'so this is what Heatbat's been up to these past few weeks' Ben thought before he was grabbed from behind and was given a massive shock from Bubble Helmet. When he let go Ben stumbled forward a bit "whoa thank god I'm more durable than most people" he said he then quickly activated his Omnitrix and slammed down on it not caring who or what he turned into, in a flash standing in Ben's spot was Swampfire "alright who wants a piece of me?" he asked all of the aliens ran at him "yeah I probably should have chosen my words better" he then avoided a punch from Liam and gave him an uppercut before sticking his arms out to the sides and unleashing two streams of fire at Flecha and Sweet-Eels but they just made themselves intangible letting the fire pass through them harmlessly Thunderpig came up behind Swampfire and unleashed a sonic squeal that blew a hole through his torso followed by Tummyhead giving him an electric punch to the chest making Swampfire yell in pain, he then touched his Omnitrix and turned into Four Arms. Four Arms then held Tummyhead above his head and slammed him to the ground before kicking him hard in the side sending him flying through two stalls. Four Arms was then punched hard in the stomach by a mini-Tundraian wearing Pickaxe alien clothes pressing the Omnitrix Symbol on his chest he turned into Ultimate Four Arms before he punched it causing it to fly back but it stopped in mid air.
Ultimate Four Arms then grabbed 4 more mutant pickaxe aliens, one had Pyronite DNA, another had Atrocian DNA, another had Opticoid DNA and the last had Gourmand DNA, he looked at the four struggling aliens and smirked "well this doesn't take a genius" and he banged all of their heads together knocking three of them out while the one with Atrocian DNA still remained conscious, knowing that his type were indestructible he just threw the mutant across Undertown. Tummyhead and Sweet-Eels both grabbed on to him and unleashed a massive amount of electricity making sparks fly around Ultimate Four Arms body, when they stopped Ultimate Four Arms groaned before falling to his hands and knees and turned back into normal Four Arms and then back into Ben. Ben groaned as he got back to his feet only to be knocked down by the Tundrian Pickaxe alien, it then got on his chest and punched him rapidly back and forth across the face the other aliens gathered around and started cheering. Ben could see that the punches were hurting the alien more than they were hurting him thanks to his Duranite teeth and jaw, forming his hands into fists he swung both arms up and punched the Tundrian Pickaxe alien in both sides of the head knocking it out. Ben then quickly got to his feet and flew up out of their reach "okay I need to rethink this through" he said looking down at the mutants
"yeah but we're not gonna give you that chance" Ben turned around only to be frozen in solid ice by Flecha "happy landings" he said as Ben fell and landed on the ground with the ice shattering as he tried to get up he was blasted by a sonic squeal from Thunderpig sending him skidding back along the ground only to stop when he hit into a bouncer.
The Bouncer then picked Ben up and held him by his arms and legs while a second Bouncer repeatedly punched Ben in his exposed abdomen "that's. E-NOUGH!" Ben shouted and he flared up into his Anodite form, the force of which knocked the two Bouncers back, freeing him in the process. Ben then stuck both arms out to the sides and fired two mana blasts that disintegrated the two Bouncers
"oh man we're screwed" Bubble Helmet said
"you're right, you are" Ben replied in a calm tone, two balls of blue mana formed on his hands and he flew straight at Bubble Helmet, before he could respond Ben punched him in the face with the mana ball exploding on impact, knocking him out. Ben quickly looked around and found his second target which happened to be Tummyhead and he did the same thing getting the same result before turning back to normal.
Ben then activated his Omnitrix and selected the right alien before he turned into Diamondhead "let's see how sparky one and two handle me now" he said before Fistina appeared and turned into a laser cannon "give me your best shot" he said, Fistina fired but the beam just reflected off of Diamondhead and struck Sweet-Eels taking him out of the fight. "great shot Fisty, wanna try again?" he taunted, Fistina fired several more times but with just a few turns Diamondhead managed to deflect the beams and took out a few of the weaker thugs before deflecting the last one straight back at her exploding and taking her out of the fight now the only ones left standing were Thunderpig, Liam, and Flecha.
Flecha then made a wall of ice between them and Diamondhead "retreat" he said and they all fled back to the lair.
Diamondhead smashed through the ice only to find the three remaining thugs gone "cowards" he said before his Omnitrix timed out "good thing though I don't think I could have taken them on anymore" he said before he sat down on the ground to rest.
Up above however Heatbat had seen and heard everything "hmm interesting results, if I had more men they would have most likely have beaten Tennyson, if just those morons were able to give someone as strong as Ben Tennyson a real run for his money, then anyone else will be a real push over, now I believe I have some cowards to talk to" he said before he flew back to his lair.
When he arrived he found his crony's resting from their fight while also having looks of worry on their faces "hello boys" he said making them all perk up and look at him I watched your fight and I must say "I am greatly disappointed in you three"
"*braak* but boss we tried our best but we just couldn't beat him" Liam said
"you think that's why I'm disappointed in you three inbred piles of garbage?" the three henchmen stayed silent "no I actually expected you all to lose albeit I didn't expect you all to do as well as you did, what I'm disappointed in is that you 1. Fled and 2. You didn't bring back any of the things you stole"
Flecha stood up at that "alright that's it I am sick and tired of taking orders from a giant bat who can never have a straight plan on what his true goal is" He said while Liam and began to move away realising that this was about to get real ugly.
Heatbat turned his full attention to Flecha "are you questioning my decisions?" he asked, Flecha replied by giving Heatbat a punch to the chest covering most of his chest in ice before it almost immediately melted "you just signed your death warrant" Heatbat said and a stream of fire shot out of his mouth but Flecha simply made himself intangible letting the flames pass harmlessly through him. As soon as he made himself tangible again Heatbat shot forward at an incredible speed and headbutted him sending him crashing through one of the walls this was followed up by a flamethrower which Flecha countered with his ice breath filling the whole area with steam.
Meanwhile
The Plumber's were now taking all of the unconscious henchmen into custody while also tending to the injured citizens "Heatbat has gone too far this time" Max said to Ben
"really I thought the time he secretly teamed up with the Kraaho to turn Bellwood into a lava pool was too far"
"I guess you have a point there" *bang* they looked up and saw a large chunk of ice had had burst through the cave wall, they all watched as the ice shattered to reveal Heatbat. Ben's eyes narrowed at this but he then raised his eyebrow as he saw Flecha come out of the hole now with his Necrofriggian wings spread out he then fired ice shards from one of his hands but Heatbat countered by sending out waves of fire from hard flaps of his wings which melted all of the ice crystals
"he must have had an argument with that guy, my money's on Heatbat" Ben said as the two continued using ice and fire attacks on each other. Heatbat blew a stream of fire at Flecha but he just became intangible letting Heatbat's attack go through him and set several stalls on fire, Flecha then made himself tangible again and fired an ice beam at Heatbat but he just dodged it letting the beam make a huge chunk of ice on the cave roof. The two continued the back and forth attacks occasionally hitting their mark while also causing damage to Undertown, the Plumbers had tried to break up the fight but Flecha had just encased them in ice
"Ben you have to do something they'll destroy all of Undertown if they keep this up" Max said
"sure just a sec" Ben said he then grabbed some debris and ate it restoring his strength "okay I think now is a time for Frostbite" he said as he activated his Omnitrix and turned into the chosen alien.
"Ben are you sure that's a wise choice?" Max asked
"he's stronger than Way Big and he can fly, yeah I think Frostbite is a good choice" Frostbite replied and he flew up to the two brawling aliens, as Heatbat avoided another ice beam Frostbite made himself known "alright you two break it up before I'm going to have to make this ugly" he said
Heatbat looked at the newcomer and saw the familiar symbol on it's chest "back off Tennyson, this is between me and him, so this doesn't concern you" Heatbat snapped
"well actually when your little squabble starts causing destruction it does become my concern" Frostbite replied
"fine then, I'll put an end to this now" Heatbat said and he shot at Flecha to headbutt him again but he just became intangible letting Heatbat fly threw him, but as soon as he made himself tangible again he was struck hard in the back by Heatbat who had flipped over in the air to make a quick U-turn, he then grabbed the stunned Flecha by the shoulders with his powerful feet and began flying around in a circle until they were both engulfed in a flaming circle, Heatbat then crushed the dizzy Flecha's shoulders before he let go sending Flecha straight down like a flaming bullet, crashing into the ground with such force that it sent debris flying. Everyone who had watched the fight were now in complete awe at what had just happened while Heatbat gave a loud screech to signify his victory, Frostbite gave Heatbat a questioning look before he floated down to the crater Flecha had made and saw him lying face up with a look of pain on his face and the last of the flames going out.
Frostbite landed next to him in the crater and looked down at him "rule number one of being a henchman, never fight against the boss" he taunted, Flecha just gave a groan in response, Frostbite then picked up the hurt henchman and handed him to Max "I'll take care of the ice" he said before he floated up and stuck his right hand above his head which then began to glow. As it did all of the ice in Undertown was sucked up like water and disappeared into Frostbite's glowing hand once all of the ice was gone and the Plumber's were freed Ben then turned into Water Hazard and began putting out as many fires as he possibly could with the Plumber's helping put out the rest "man this place is going to need a major clean up" Water Hazard said before turning back to normal
"yes I fully agree, good thing a lot of the aliens here have great carpentry skills" Max said
"speaking of aliens how is everyone?"
"we don't know the full extent but we do know that the injuries unfortunately vary from medium to sever" Ben's eyes narrowed at this and he looked up to see that Heatbat was gone "but thanks to the mass healing ray you had Brainmatter make we should be able to heal them all up in no time" it was at this point Rook came up to them
"nice work on getting the Plumber's to get here so fast partner" Ben said as he shook Rook's hand
"thank you Ben" Rook replied
"hey grandpa can I switch my current duties from patrol to clean up"
"you seriously want to help clean up and rebuild Undertown?"
"yep, besides I want to give this guy's abilities a proper workout" he said as he selected the new alien Ship had unlocked for him the other day in a flash of light standing in Ben's place was an alien that looked like a cross between a man and a bee he was roughly 5 feet tall had yellow skin with fuzzy black hair and two antenna coming out if it, black fuzzy arms, and wore a pair of green overalls with a large pocket on the front and two on the sides and two wings on his back
"what is that?" Rook asked
"I call thizzzz guy Buildabee" he replied and he zipped over to a destroyed stall and began fixing it, rapidly pulling tools and equipment out of his pockets, Rook and Max watched in amazement as the whole stall was as good as new within 5 seconds before he moved on to the next one
"Magister Tennyson have you ever seen an alien like that before?" Rook asked
"no but I've heard of them, they're supposed to be the best builders in quite possibly the whole universe" Max said as he looked at the rebuilt stall "well while he fixes everything we should help out with the injured"
"agreed" Rook replied and the two left the area to help out.
Meanwhile
Heatbat was back in his lair working on the mutation machine "with a few more modifications I should be able to add more DNA and powers into us without changing our physical appearance anymore" Heatbat said
"but boss why do we need to be changed anymore?" Thunderpig asked Heatbat stopped what he was doing and looked at him
"think about it puss bucket how do you think you would have done in that fight if you also had the added strength of a Tetramand as well as the speed of a Kineceleran" Heatbat said
"uh"
"exactly, you would have done a heck of a lot better" Heatbat snapped and he continued with his work.
