Ultimate Justice
Part Four
Superboy was looking at this Amazo-trix, remembering the trouble he faced with the original model of the android. Which seemed to be waiting for something. Deciding to take an action before the machine got moving, he charged at the figure for a super-strong punch. Which sparked the words, "Accessing Humungousaur."
His eyes had been glowing green, and when Superboy managed to hit, it was like striking a brick wall, if it wasn't for the fact the young hero could smash a brick wall like it was made of cardboard. Yet this was something hard to the alien teen. Then the wall hit back when Amazo-trix managed to throw a punch.
Telepathically Superboy could hear the others start to talk starting with Kevin, "Humungousaur. Super strong, can take a lot of punishment, can grow up to sixty feet tall and can roar with the power of a gale force wind. He's also agile for his size. Most of the aliens in the watch have similar powers. Going to need to hit hard if we're going to break them."
"So what kind of force would we use against it?" asked Aquaboy leading the bot away, as Superboy was getting up. The Kryptonian was looking for a way to break the android's strengthened skin.
"That's the problem, no matter what kind of power we can use against him, Ben has a power for it in another alien. Unless this thing can't switch between aliens..." said Kevin as he absorbed the steel from a nearby street lamp and covered himself in black painted metal. His arms then morphed into two giant metal blades, which he used to attack the android with a slashing motion. Gorges of metal appeared on the machine's torso and right arm, the latter almost being sliced clean through.
"Accessing Swampfire." said the Android as he began to regrow it's body from the ruts put on its torso and arm. Once it had become whole again it, it's hands were raised with palms facing the teens. From the open palms came plumes of fire, like a flame thrower.
"Guessing this alien has the power of fire and regeneration. Any thing else we should be looking out for? Also has anyone seen if our friend here shifts from one alien to another or can use more then one alien's power at once?" asked Robin as he had his hands on his utility belt.
"Swampfire is a plant based alien, so he also has the power to control plants. He ain't good with ice, he can even be frozen solid with enough cold. Course, he can bust out if he can ignite the natural methane in his body, at the wrists usually." commented Kevin, even as he got back into the fight, slashing at the regenerating villain.
Superboy was really wishing he had Superman's power of arctic breath at the moment as he weaved in and out to strike the android, looking for a change between Humungousaur Amazo and Swampfire Amazo. They were both strong, but it was hard to tell if it was the former's durability or the latter's regeneration rate. Robin answered then with, "Got a plan, cover me."
Superboy did his best to draw the fire, literally, from Robin as the younger hero moved in. Kevin also helped with ripping an opening for the sidekick to the Batman. Robin performed a fear of acrobatics as he threw two sets of tools, the first was some kind of pellets while the other ones were Batarangs. The pellets hit and instantly burst into a mass of gas which seemed to crystallize ice to the android as it was froze solid. The boy wonder had managed to time his throws perfectly so the Batarangs managed to hit the block of ice and managed to lodge in... until they exploded. Chucks of ice and android were on the ground.
"That was too eas..." started Superboy before he was interrupted by Kevin.
"Don't count it out yet. Swampfire can regenerate from the smallest fragment of his body. If this thing has copyed that power..." started Kevin before Aqualad moved quickly with swords out at the young clone.
Superboy figured out what was happening, ducking and turning to see what looked like a growing plant arising from the ground before forming into the Amazo-trix. It then breathed out a plume of fire as it started to grow in size, it's muscles growing into something similar to someone hit by Kobra Venom, muscular to freakish level.
"Okay, we know it has the growth powers of Humungousuar and the fire power of Swampfire. So it can copy the powers of two aliens, how many aliens would you say it can duplicate at once ? Anyone with any kind of bright idea?" asked Kevin as he moved in a circle around Amazo 2.0.
Aqualad was battling the flames with his water-bearers, when the android spoke again, "Accessing Water Hazard."
The water which the black teen was using against the fire was being manipulated out of the way of the fire as the flame shot out of the group collected before them. Kevin filled them in, "Water Hazard, sorta a humanoid clam guy. Am-ass-o likely now has skin like a hardened exoskeleton, enhanced strength and can control water. Mostly shooting out pressurized water from the ports in his hands or absorbing moisture in the air with those same ports. He can control the temperature of the water, and mold it into any shape. Energy attacks seem to have some good effects against him.
But if we do that he's likely to go into an alien which can control that form of energy or someone like Chromastone who can suck up the energy and use it against us."
"We have to try." said their leader, as his eel tattoos lit up with the power of electricity as he shot off water charged with the power of lightning at the android.
The lightning striked the opponent as the enemy started to smoke and burn, even as it began to regenerate. It caused the heroes to moan as it called out a fourth alien, "Accessing Lodestar."
It out stretched it's arms and the lightning began to bounce off some kind of shield. Kevin groaned as he pulled out the information on this alien, "Magnetic powers, strength, force fields, flight and regeneration."
Superboy was now dodging flames, streams of water, metal from the area being picked up and thrown around and the threat of punches which seemed to be amped up with more power than he expected Superman to have. He couldn't land a punch due to force fields made of magnetism, water and fire. If he did punch the thing, it was likely to regenerate fast from any damage it would have cause.
'This just couldn't be easy for once, could it?" he asked himself as he wonder what it was he could do.
At the other fight...
Miss Martian could feel the threat which the other team faced because of her mental link with everyone. She was not able to help Superboy... help the others, due to the battle with this other major threat. She flew into position as Kid Flash and Artemis prepared to attack from below, the three of them would be needed to drag Vilgax off of Ben while Gwen tried to tell her cousin their plan to drain the villain.
She flew into the flight path of the squid-faced alien, and using multiple arms cloned using her shapeshifting, she began to to strike at him with all of the fists she could manage. Fists which were thrown with the superhuman strength of a Martian, pounding against the amber shields of the large enemy. He didn't react at once, he seemed to ignore most of the attacks which hit him. She had created eyes around her head to keep an eye out for Artemis' arrows or Kid Flash's chucking stuff at him.
Explosive arrows also bounced and blew against the same artificial armour, as pieces of metal and pavement were shoved at the being, with the teen martain phasing through the matter while keeping he fists solid when they banged against the opponent.
Till this point Vilgax had managed to trail after Chromastone, now he stopped as he stood in air with his back to her. He spoke in a deep, gruff voice, " What exactly are you trying to do, Martian worm? You know you can't even touch me while I have the power of my ring. Then again, the obvious strategy is to overtax the ring with constant use at higher levels of power. Then use Chromastone's power to drain the power of ring.
Perhaps it's time to show off some of the powers I hold, powers I held as the conqueror of ten worlds? Would you like to see that, child?"
His head flashed with red light as beams which resembled lasers move up from in front of Vilgax and headed towards Miss Martian. She tried to fly away from it, shifting her body while she moved away so her front and back were reversed. She was moving rapidly in a zig zag pattern to avoid the lasers, but the beams shifted direction to constantly follow her. It was about to hit her when a pink shield went up around her, taking the force of the blast.
Vilgax turned to look at Gwen standing next to Chromastone who was getting ready for a strike. He growled, "Gwen Tennyson. Your mana abilities have been an annoyance more then once in my life. However, I now know of your plans to drain my charge. Perhaps it's time to fight you all one on one."
With that his ring glowed as he created multiple golden light copies of himself, which then launched themselves at the teen gathered. Meghan had to face her own golden Vilgax, which punched her fast enough for her not to prepare for it, the strength of the copy was enough to force her far back. It left a hard sharp pain on her jaw from where the alien's avatar had pushed his knuckles into her. She tried to figure out how to counter this thing. She tried to shift her body so she could maximize her physical strength against the beast before her.
Vilgax was still a mystery to her as she could not read his mind due to his power ring mental shielding. She could get the images of Vilgax from Gwen and Ben, and it was not something which she wanted to face.
'Still, I got to take this thing down. How do you take down something made of light. Chromastone can absorb the energy of the light, but I don't have any power which could do that. Hello, Meghan! We were suppose to attack Vilgax to get him to use up the charge, but if we can keep these clones running for long enough, it might be able to use up the charges as well.' she thought as she spread the news to the other team members. Taking a breath to centre herself, she started to run from the golden energy being as it followed to continue to attack her. She was looking for the right moment to use her own powers against the Vilgax copy.
It was a flying battle as she was looking for the right angle to ram down on the opponent with her fists. Looping and zig zagging so she could keep her tactics random enough so a counterattack was not ready, she found a weak point and started to charge on the enemies; right side. Enlarging her arm as she pulled it back, she managed to hit with a force of amplified super martian strength against the figure. It was enough to push the energy being back, which allowed Miss Martian to use the time lost to make further fists of fury as six giant arms began to rain down on the avatar.
Using an example from Kevin, she shifted her arms into weapons instead of just fists. A mace head, an axe blade, razor sharp swords, a pick's point and a warhammer's face were being used against the energy being. Piercing, slashing and blunt force were being push at the figure with the force of all her strength. It was like using a melee weapon against a force field, which seemed to have little effect. Yet each pounding of force used against the energy field would likely use up some of the charge in the ring.
The Vilgax copy did manage to catch two of her hands and block them, but she just turned two of her extra 'hands' into drills. Drills which whirled and spun into the energy field. Which caused sparks to fly, until the light clone managed to shoot lasers from his eyes just like the original alien managed to do. It forced her back, which prevented her from getting any more hits on him.
A moment to scan the battlefield and everything seemed to be going bad. Kid Flash was having a hard time countering the energy copy he faced, so all he could do is run. Gwen was pinned down as she tried to protect Artemis as the two of them faced off against their Vilgax copy. Ben was battling the real Vilgax and a couple of avatars, for each one he managed to suck up, two more were formed. Then there was the battle against the Amazo-trix, which was not going so well with all of the aliens the android had managed to be able to access. It was like facing an entire team of villains in just two beings, with few weaknesses for them to exploit for a win.
'Unless we get some kind of help or find some kind of weakness against one of these guys... things are going to look bad. Plus there's the fact we might have to face more of these kinds of villains from the worlds in the sky.' she thought as she looked to the sky and the three orbs in it. The centre one not even half the size of the ones on the edges of the trio. It was then her fears were brought in front of her as things were shooting out of the middle orb again. They didn't make a direct route to the ground as some of them fell faster then others.
The first to land was some kind of older man in some old clothing, with some kind of metallic device on his chest and a strange metal helmut. The thing was he was green, green hair and skin as well as eyes and teeth.
"Doctor Animo, a evil veterinary scientist and geneticist. He has invented devices to allow him to mutate any animal as well as control most of them with his mind. This version of him has been infected with mutated strain of Sakutia, usually a deadly disease. The mutant strain allows for survival, but taints most of the pigments to the green hue. It also attaches itself to the victum's DNA allowing the host to instinctively rewrite their own genetic code. Which typically allows them to shapeshift into a wide variety of animals, with long enough training even the form of alien and mythical animals." said Professor Paradox through the ear piece which they all had.
This was before the green man smirked and said, "I can see you Tennyson. Now it's time for you to taste the revenge of Dr. Chimera and his mastery over the animal kingdom."
As Animo spoke, he started to warp and twist into a composite being. The head of a goat with sharp fangs in it's mouth, horns on it's forehead and a mane behind the head and horns. It's body looked like a cross between a man and a cat, with human-like hands but with jungle cat claws on the ends of them. His legs were those of a goat with feet replaced with hooves, and behind him as a tail was an anaconda long snake with a cobra's hooded head. He also had the wings of a bat wrapped around his shoulders like a cloak.
A second shot from the centre orb managed to land now, and Meghan was starting to feel like they were going to be out numbered with just four enemies before being overwhelmed. Till she managed to observe what was coming out of the expanding explosion of dust from the landing figure.
It was a muscular man with brown hair and green eyes, as well as a full beard cut short and close to the skin. He wore a shirt with grey on the side around the arms, in a cut which left the main white part of the shirt looking like an hourglass, the white and the grey spreaded by a thin black line. He wore a belt with multiple pouches on it, like an enlarged version of Batman's utility belt. His long pants were green and he wore black boots. What struck here was the device on his arm.
On his arm was an Ultimatrix or something like it...
She tried to see if she could read his mind when he responded to her, 'Guess you're going to need some help, eh Meghan?'
He also showed her who he was, even as he told her he knew her identity. She reached out, 'Ben?'
He spoke out loud for everyone to hear him, "This looks like a job for... that guy in Metropolis. But since he's not here, I guess you guys are just going to have to just get ready for the awesomeness which is Ben 10,000!"
'That hunk is Ben?' asked Artemis as she was firing arrows at her light-based opponent.
"Okay, can we not say my cousin is a hunk. It's libel to inflate their overdeveloped ego, both of them." answered Gwen as she shield the female archer.
"Too late," came the stereo reply from Chromastone and this new Ben 10,000. This Ben hit his Ultimatrix and slammed it down... only to have it disappear from his wist and the face appear on it's chest, like when Ben turned into one of his alien forms.
'Okay, Miss Martian. To give an update, I can see the Sinestro Vilgax, the Amazo-trix and Dr. Chimera all here. I can see most of the original team here as well as my past self and his friends. If I can make a suggestion, Artemis and Gwen could have more success with Amazo-trix or Dr. Chimera. I'll replace them on Amber Vilgax. If I remember this correctly, we should be getting some back up soon. Also some more major bad guys which will be causing us trouble. I think more of the former then the latter, but with this place having screwed up time that might not be how it plays out. Okay, Chromastone! ' Ben communicated to them telepathically, as a hologram of the alien the current Ben had turned into hovered in green before the future Ben.
Then Ben 10K managed to shoot up into the sky, heading to Meghan as he drained the light avatar fighting her. He then moved to Kid Flash and sucked up his copy. He finished up by sucking up the copy which was fighting Artemis and Gwen. He then moved straight at Vilgax and his clones fighting Ben 10.
