Incursean Invasion part 2
"You're going down gravity!" screamed Rath as he plummeted toward Earth.
"Contigo!" a voice cried and Rath was enveloped in a magenta colored sphere, protecting him from harm.
"Huh?" said Rath. "Lemme tell you something mysterious stranger who just saved my butt from certain death! Rath is able to handle himself!"
"Come off it Ben. I saw you fall at least 25 miles. You would've been killed if I wasn't here to save you," continued the voice.
"Show yourself! Rath doesn't have all day to talk to invisible beings!"
Rath transformed into Chromastone and fired an energy blast towards the direction of the voice.
A pink shield sprung up and deflected the blast. Chromastone reverted back to Ben.
"I know of only one person able to conjure up energy shields and that's my cousin," exclaimed Ben.
"Hey cuz! How's it going?" asked Gwen, stepping out of the shadows.
"If you don't count the armada over our heads, it's going well," said Ben. "Anyways, why are you here? I thought you were at college?"
"Change of plan. My professor turned out to be a plumber and he was ordered to help fend off the invasion. I offered to help him, so here I am."
Suddenly, the Incursean flagship landed right next to Ben and out jumped Emperor Milleous holding a blaster. He aimed it at Ben and fired. A force field sprung up shielding Ben from the blast. A plumber ship landed next to the Incursean flagship and out sprung Max Tennyson.
"Hands off my grandson toadface!" cried Max as he too pulled out a blaster and aimed it at Milleous.
"Don't make this complicated Max. Drop your weapon and surrender now," said Milleous.
"I don't think so. Just look, you're surrounded," countered Max.
Milleous looked up and saw he was boxed in by four plumber ships. He smiled.
"I suggest you look a little higher," he told Max.
Max glanced up and saw that his plumber ships were surrounded by at least one hundred Incursean battleships. He threw down his blaster.
"Ok, we surrender. What are your terms?" he asked.
"I'm feeling a bit generous so I won't kill you guys. All I ask in return is that you disband the plumber organization, give us Ben Tennyson and allow us to rule Earth," said Milleous.
"You have yourself a deal," said Max.
"What?! You can't be serious!" screamed Ben.
"It's for the best Ben. We'll have you back soon enough," said Max.
"No, I'm not going!" yelled Ben.
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way. It's your choice. Either way you'll end up with us" said Milleous.
"At least let me say my goodbyes," said Ben.
Ben turned towards Gwen and Max. Max walked up to him and shook his hand.
"Goodbye for now son. Don't worry; we can manage without your help."
Then, it was Gwen's turn.
"See you cuz. Take care of yourself now," she said. Suddenly, she leaned forward and kissed him. Ben blushed. He had never known his cousin to be the affectionate type.
"Say goodbye to Kevin for me and don't get into too much trouble. I'll be back before you know it!" said Ben.
When he had said his goodbyes, Princess Attea jumped out of the flagship and forced him into a stasis pod.
"Hey! This isn't part of the agreement! You said I would be your prisoner!" Ben cried.
"Well, there's been a change of plan. You are being sent into exile. It was daddy's plan all along."
"Milleous! We had a deal! You said he wouldn't be sent into exile!" yelled Max.
"Deals were meant to be broken," replied Milleous. The pod door closed and the engine started.
"Let's go," Milleous told Attea, "I have an inauguration ceremony to attend to."
Will Harangue Nation
"Reporting to you live from downtown Bellwood. The menace Ben Tennyson is about to be blasted off into outer space by our benevolent Incursean conquerors! What a cause for celebration!" screamed Harangue.
The rocket lifted off from the launch pad. "Goodbye and good riddance Ben Tennyson!"
Plumber HQ
"Don't worry Gwen. We'll get your cousin back," said Max.
"How? The plumbers have been disbanded as per the agreement, remember?"
"Well, Milleous broke his side of the deal, so we can break ours too."
Low Earth Orbit
The rocket had cut its engines once it got past Earth's atmosphere. Inside, the lone figure tried to make himself comfortable, burdened by the heavy manacles that inhibited his movement.
"Could this day get any worse?" the teen asked no one in particular.
"Warning: fuel levels dangerously low. Crash landing is imminent. Please select your landing site," said the computer.
"Cool! I get to choose?"
"Choices are: Galvan B, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto and Anur Transyl."
"Ok. I choose Galvan B. Azmuth will know what to do!"
"Plotting course to Galvan B."
Ben tried to enjoy the ride there.
Galvan B
"Greetings young Tennyson. What brings you here?" asked Azmuth.
Ben looked the creator of the Omnitrix in the eye.
"I was banished from Earth," he mumbled.
"And now you need a way back?" asked Azmuth.
"Exactly."
"Hmm. I happen to have a certain DNA sample from an Incursean that I can program into the Omnitrix. It lets you transform into an Incursean," said Azmuth.
"Cool," exclaimed Ben, "Gimme!"
"Not so fast young man. I've noticed you've activated the randomizer function. I have to fix it before I give you your new alien, but that will take a few days," said Azmuth.
"But I don't have a few days! Milleous and his armada a ruling Earth right now!"
"I was speaking in relative terms. It would take a few days in Earth time, but here, it only takes five minutes."
"Ha-ha. Very funny."
Azmuth jumped on Ben's arm and fiddled with the Omnitrix.
"Randomizer function deactivated. New alien acquired," said the Omnitrix.
"There you are Tennyson," said Azmuth," now try not to destroy the thing will you?"
Ben was in the process of slamming his palm on the Omnitrix, but stopped.
"What?" he asked.
"Don't slam it! That's how you get those random transformations."
"I see. Now, how am I supposed to get back to Earth, Azmuth?"
I happen to have a spare Incursean cruiser in the hanger. You'll have to turn into the Incursean alien first."
"Oh, you mean Bullfrag?"
"Excuse me? You name your aliens?"
"Um, yeah. It just sounds cool yelling out names in the middle of a fight."
"No wonder you're so immature," Azmuth grumbled.
Ten minutes later, Ben aka Bullfrag left Galvan B on a course back to Earth.
United States (one month since the Invasion)
"This is Will Harangue reporting to you from the White House where today Emperor Milleous, light of the Incursean Empire, destroyer of galaxies, keeper of the conquest ray…"
"Get on with the program!" yelled Milleous. "I didn't hire you to be propaganda chief for nothing."
"Of course not your Excellency. Anyways, Emperor Milleous is about to be crowned the 45th President of the United States. The whereabouts of President #44 are still unknown."
"Now, Mr. President elect, repeat after me," said Supreme Court Justice John Roberts.
"I, Emperor Lord Milleous of the deathless Incursean Empire, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Milleous repeated the words. "Congratulations, Mr. President," Roberts said.
"Guards, take him away," ordered Milleous. The Incursean security forces dragged Roberts down to a holding cell.
"Now for my first act as President, I give myself the power to suspend the Constitution," he cried.
"You can't do that Mr. President," several members of Congress yelled.
"I can now, after I do this." Milleous threw all the members of Congress into the holding cells.
"Any further objections? Good! Next, I give myself the power to issue Presidential Decrees."
"Decree #1: The Constitution is hereby suspended, all opposition parties are disbanded and banned and the official name shall be changed from the United States of America to the Democratic People's Republic of Milleous (DPRM). Hardly free nor fair elections will be held tomorrow, where I will be the only candidate. Remember, vote for me or else!"
"Decree #2: The only channel you can get your news from is Will Harangue Nation, which is not at all under my control. Furthermore, the official language of the DPRM is now Milleousnese, not English. Don't worry; the new language is the same as the old one. We will now address each other as comrade, because I happen to respect the communist system. Finally, I have changed a couple words to Milleous, just for the fun of it. The full list can be found on this website: www. ."
"Thank you for understanding these difficult times and please, do not hesitate to complain. All you will get is a year in detention. Enjoy the rest of your day comrades. Remember, work makes you free."
Random Doctor's Office
"Hello comrade! I have Milleous news!" said the doctor.
"Milleous! Let me hear the Milleous News!" cried the patient.
"You are HIV-Milleous comrade!"
(Yes the words for positive, negative, good and bad were all changed to Milleous).
Plumber HQ (Underground now)
"I can't believe Milleous is doing this!" cried Gwen.
"Yeah, I know. I just checked out his website. Half the words in the entire English languages were just changed to Milleous," replied Max.
"I hope Ben comes back soon to stop this freak."
"I have an African American man standing outside the gate claiming to be the missing 44th President of the United States, Mr. Tennyson. Should I let him in?" asked a guard.
"Yes, yes, let him in."
"I want my old job back!" cried Barack Obama. "I can't believe I am the first President to leave office since Nixon! And I didn't do anything to deserve it!"
"Don't worry, Mr. President. You'll get your job back soon enough," said Max.
Ben, please hurry thought Gwen.
On approach to Bellwood International Airport
Welcome to Milleous International Airport. We hope you enjoy your stay in the DPRM, comrade," croaked the Air Traffic Controller.
"What happened to the United States?" Ben asked.
"Oh, Emperor Milleous changed the name along with many other words."
"Right. I have to go to the plumber base right now. There's some business I have to attend to.
"The plumbers don't exist anymore."
"Whatever. Just get me to the HQ."
Ben arrived at plumber HQ a few minutes later as Bullfrag.
Plumber HQ
"Warning! Intruder outside!" screeched the computer.
Gwen rushed outside and confronted Bullfrag. She trapped him in a sphere of mana.
"Who are you?" she snarled.
Bullfrag used his tongue to disintegrate the energy sphere. Gwen fired magenta disks at him, but he just opened his mouth and swallowed them whole. He turned away from her and spit them at a nearby Incursean ship.
"Huh? Who's side are you on anyway?" asked Gwen.
"Obviously, I'm on yours," said Bullfrag.
"Ben, is that you? It's been so long"
"Nope. It's been like 3 days for me."
"That's because you were travelling at the speed of light, Ben. Time speeds up for you relative to everyone else. Haven't you heard of Einstein's theory of relativity?"
"Yeah, Azmuth told me something to that effect."
"You met Azmuth? I thought he said he didn't want anything to do with you."
"Well, he helped me out and here I am."
"You better come inside the base before anything else happens."
Ben and Gwen walked inside the base. Max Tennyson looked up to see an Incursean coming towards him. Instinctively, he reached for his blaster and let off a shot. The shot would have hit Ben had he not swallowed it.
"I'm not who you think I am," said Bullfrag.
"Listen to him Grandpa. He's not an Incursean," said Gwen.
"Then who are you?" asked Max.
Ben transformed back into himself.
"Does this clear things up?"
"Ben! We all thought you were dead!" exclaimed Max.
"Really?"
"Well Grandpa did. I never gave up hope," said Gwen.
"Neither did I," said a voice form the shadows.
"Kevin?" Ben asked.
"The one and only. How's it going Tennyson?"
"Listen, we got more important matters on our hands, so skip the chitchat," said Max.
"What is it?" said Ben, Gwen and Kevin.
"Milleous knows you came back, Ben. He's ordered anyone who finds you to arrest you."
"I'm sorry Ben. I'm going to turn you in. Kevin, Gwen, help me," said Max.
