Chapter 20: Why Summer Camp Ain't All it's Cracked Up to be.

Well, after today, I finally got a transformation on the watch that required some willpower, and lack of emotion to control completely. It appeared after I expressed a lot of anger, and tore the bad guy to shreds. Literally! It all started when we were driving out through a forest in the mountains.

Kyle: "Man. Why is everything so… hard to manage…" I was turning the faceplate of the watch around, examining all of the different silhouettes that appeared.

Gwen: "Well, it had to be managed somehow, right?"

Kyle: "Yeah, but, dude!"

Ben: "Keep trying. You should write down each one you know, so you can keep track of them, and add new ones as they come in."

Kyle: "I have a list, alphabetically organized, too! Alien X, Arcticguana, Atomix…"

Gwen: "Had some time?"

Kyle: "Kind of."

Max: "You need to be careful with that, too, Kyle. You have to use the aliens you know about."

Kyle: "What if the roster I have isn't enough? I need to know every alien on this watch!"

Max: "Be careful. You don't know what some of them even are, and you don't know how many there are."

Kyle: "Yes I do. 1,000,903." (Author's note: 1,000,900 in beginning, Nessy, Buzzshock, and Chaotix were absorbed in, making it 1,000,903.) The Omnitrix continued to make beeping noises as I turned it.

Max: "Way too many of them to just memorize." A kid started walking out in the middle of the road, and Max hit his brakes, making the whole RV stop, and the kid nearly ran off of a cliff. I opened the RV door.

Kyle: "Sweet! And it's hero time!" I slapped the faceplate down, then became a green alien with purely white eyes, wearing a red jumpsuit, and had blue gloves.

Kyle: "Um… not exactly what I took you for, but okay. Let's go!" I ran to where the kid was, and tried to grab him, but he freaked out, and let go of the rocks, falling down.

Kyle: "D***IT! Hold on!" I jumped off of the cliff, and I was floating on an invisible disk I created without knowing it. I glided down towards him, then built a force field around him, and saved him from dying, then levitated us both to the top of the cliff again. I set both of us down. Ben, Gwen, and Max got out of the RV.

Kyle: "You'll be Visor. Because you have force field projection, and the fact you're mostly blind." I turned to the kid.

Visor: "You okay?" He fainted.

Visor: "I'll take that as a no." We had gone back in the RV, to see what we could do for him, and I was turning the faceplate around, examining the aliens even more. Gwen was sitting right next to me.

Gwen: "Kyle, I wish you weren't so absorbed with that thing! What about other things?"

Kyle: "Like?"

Gwen: "Us!"

Kyle: "Us?"

Gwen: Boyfriend, girlfriend, hello? Ringing a bell?"

Kyle: "It is. Why?"

Gwen: "I'm important, too, Kyle! Just try to concentrate on us here. We have a relationship going on, and I want to keep it together!" She walked off, and I turned the watch off.

Kyle: "Okay, Gwen. Whatever you want."

Gwen: "Really?"

Kyle: "Really." I went XLR8.

XLR8: "So, where do you want to go?"

Gwen: "I want you to stay here. As Kyle." I reverted to normal.

Kyle: "Okay. Gotcha. No Omnitrix unless I have to."

Gwen: "Good. Let's check on the fraidy cat." We walked over to Ben and Max.

Max: "Let's see, no major scratches, no bruises, no cuts…"

Ben: "What's his name?"

Gwen: "Gilbert."

Ben: "How do you know?"

Gwen: "Girl's intuition."

Kyle: "That, and he has a nametag." I showed it to them, and Gwen laughed a bit, while Ben stared at her.

Max: "Let's get him back to his summer camp."

Kyle: "Camp Opinicon… Okay… We'll take him there. I saw the sign on the way out here."

Gwen: "Cool." We drove in the opposite direction until we found the kid's camp, and started looking around in it. When we found the mess hall, we found a plate of spaghetti sitting out. I smiled, immediately sat down in front of it, and started eating it.

Gwen: "Kyle! You don't know how log that's been out!"

Kyle: "It's warm, and I'm hungry!" I continued to chow down, then Ben and Gwen started pulling for the food while I pulled it back. We played tug of war until we fell to the floor, and spaghetti was all over our faces.

Max: "What am I going to do with you three?"

Ben: "I don't know, Grandpa…"

Kyle: "One big happy family, that's us." I got up, then helped Ben and Gwen up/

Voice: Are they gone yet?"

Ben: "YAAAH!" He tripped on some spaghetti still on the ground. Gwen and I laughed. Two little kids stepped out of a closet.

Boy: "I'm Andy."

Girl: "And I'm Mandy."

Andy: "We hid here after our camp got overrun by plant people."

Max: "Plant people?"

Kyle: "Where are they now?" I grabbed the watch.

Mandy: "We don't know."

Ben: "We'd better go before they come back."

Kyle: "Yes. Let's." We had headed back into the RV, and Max gave Andy, Mandy, Ben, and Gwen towels. Andy and Mandy shared their towel like best friends, but Ben and Gwen were tugging it to try and dry just themselves.

Ben and Gwen: "Let go dweeb!"

Kyle: "I got this." I went XLR8, grabbed the towel, and dried them both off.

XLR8: "Better?"

Gwen: "Yeah." I smiled. Gilbert had woken back up. I changed back so I wouldn't frighten him again.

Gilbert: "Oh man… What happened?"

Ben: "You almost got run over, then we saved you."

Gilbert: "Thanks."

Kyle: "Ain't no problem, dude. It's what I do."

Andy; "How'd you save him from getting run over?" I transformed into Visor right in front of them, and Gilbert started screaming.

Gwen: "Gilbert, it's okay! That's just what he does."

Gilbert: "He's a shape-shifting alien?" I went normal again.

Ben: "Yep."

Kyle: Yeah. I also have 1,000,902 other forms. Wanna see?"

Gilbert: "I think I'm good."

Max: "We'd better get going. There has to be a safer place somewhere." Max started up the RV, but the motor sputtered.

Max: "Strange…"

Kyle: "I'll go Upgrade. This baby'll be fixed up in no time."

Max: "I think I should handle this."

Kyle: "Fine." He headed out, and we heard footsteps besides his, then a scream.

Gwen: "Grandpa?" We all ran outside, and saw living mushrooms taking him with them.

Andy: "The plant people!"

Mandy; "They took your Grandpa!"

Kyle: "Not this time! Going hero!" I became Snakepit. He had 5 heads, two arms, two legs, and a tail. I ran out, then started shooting out venom darts, striking them all down, and I tail whipped the ones around Max. I went Sandbox, aliving mass of sand, transformed my arm into a hammer, then smashed some more still trying to take Max. I went Frostbite, who was living ice, but not bulky like Diamondhead. I shot out some ice rays, building a wall in front of Max and I, then I jumped up over it, shot down ice shards, then went Cannonbolt, and slammed down, and unrolled.

Max: "Kyle!" More mushrooms were carrying him. I went XLR8, zoomed off at the mushrooms, and kicked them all off of him. I went Swampfire, and prepared seeds to throw, then threw them at new mushrooms coming towards us, trapping them in vines. I then threw a large fireball at them, burning them up.

Swampfire: "That should do it… MAX!" Mushrooms were parading off with him again.

Swampfire: "COME ON!!" The mushrooms left over dogpiled me. I transformed into Diamondhead, then stabbed each one on me, and tossed them off. I slammed my fists into the ground, then formed a diamond wall in front of the mushrooms. I went Fourarms, then jumped out at them, and slammed each one. There was somke, and I flew out of the smoke as Stinkfly, carrying Max.

Max: "There are too many of them, Kyle!"

Stinkfly: "I know! I need to… AHH!" Mushrooms jumped out of the trees, and dogpiled on me, crashlanding me into the ground, releasing Max. They grabbed Max, running off with him. I tried to get up, but I fell unconscious, and reverted to normal. I later woke up looking at Ben's face.

Kyle: "Ben?"

Ben: "The mushrooms knocked you out, and…"

Gwen: "HOW COULD YOU!!?" She slapped me across the face.

Kyle: "Ow! Will some PLEASE explain to me what happened?"

Gilbert: "They knocked you out and took Mr. Tennyson with them."

Gwen: "And it's all your fault!" She slapped me again.

Kyle: "OW! Stop it!" I got out of the bed. We were in an entirely different location.

Kyle: "We're not in the RV, guys."

Andy: "We're in one of the cabins."

Ben: "And not only have we been holding off the mushroom people, but I have had an athlete's foot problem since I got here!" He threw some powder onto his foot.

Mandy: "Everyone here ends up getting it."

Gilbert: "I know."

Kyle: "The rest of you stay here. I'll go and get Max." I went Wildmutt.

Ben: "It's been awhile boy."

Wildmutt: "ROAR!" I opened the door, then ran out to find any hint of Max's scent. I heard rustling in some bushes. I growled.

Ben (Coming out of a bush): "It's just me, Kyle." I pointed to my back, and Ben hopped on. I continued onwards, until we found a giant hole.

Ben: "This must be where they have Grandpa!" I went XLR8.

XLR8: "Let's go in and out quick!" I zoomed in, and started cutting away any vines that tried to get at us. We found Max after a few seconds.

Max: "Kyle! Ben!"

XLR8: "I'll get you outta here!" I went Heatblast, and started burning away the vines holding him.

Max: "Kyle! Ben! Run now!" The mushrooms from before started to attack again. Ben started pulling at the vines, and I turned to shoot them with fire. I started to realize there was too many to go on like this, so I went Echo Echo, then multiplied into 5, and screamed at them. They flew out of the room, I went back to one, and became XLR8, then started cutting at the vines with my super speed.

Ben: "Kyle! We need to go faster!" I went Diamondhead, and started slashing, until I noticed the mushrooms were coming back in force. I built a diamond wall behind us. I proceeded to keep on cutting, unitl Ben and I got grabbed, and it binded him in, and threw me out into the crowd of mushrooms. The mushrooms were surrounding me, and I became Visor, then created a huge force field to blow them off of me. I went Heatblast again, and burned them down. The vines from before smashed apart the diamond wall I built.

Heatblast; "I'll come back when I have a better plan guys!" I went Jetray, and flew out, and landed in the campgrounds, and went normal.

Kyle: "I need a new plan of action here. I know where they are, and how I can save them, but I need away to get there fast enough, and use an alien strong enough to pull those vines apart."

Gwen: "THEY?!" She was with the other three, with a very angry look on her face scowling right at me.

Kyle: "Ben went after me. He didn't tell you?"

Gwen: "No! KYLE! This is the last straw! We are through!"

Kyle: "GWEN! I HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT! THERE WERE TOO MANY TO FIGHT OFF!!!"

Gwen: "REALLY NOW?!" She walked right up to me, and we scowled at each other, point blank range into our faces.

Gilbert: "I don't think now's the best time for this…" We both scowled at him, and he freaked out.

Mandy: "Maybe we need to back off for a bit." We looked back at each other, and snarled.

Gwen: "You are so incompetent sometimes!"

Kyle: "That's new, Gwen! Ben's right! You can be a dweeb!" She backed off.

Kyle: "I guess I should've listened to him the first time." I walked off, and into a cabin, then slammed the door.

Kyle: "Hmm… XLR8 to get there, maybe KyVilgax, and Omniprime if I absolutely have too… Hmm…" I heard screaming outside, and I opened the door, seeing the kids getting chased by mushrooms. I went XLR8, and kicked them all away from the kids and Gwen.

Gilbert: "Thanks again."

XLR8:"My pleasure."

Gwen: "I'm sorry, Kyle, I…"

XLR8: "Just make sure the kids are safe! I'll go back!" I zoomed back off.

Gwen: "Let's do it!" They charged, and started taking down the mushrooms to make it to the supply shed. When they got there, Gwen busted the door back open, Andy was holding a hockey stick, Mandy was holding a baseball bat, and Gilbert was holding a baseball launcher. Andy and Mandy were pummeling some of the mushrooms, Gwen was fighting some hand to hand, and Gilbert was shooting baseballs at them to slow them down. I had made it to the hole.

XLR8: "Speed's done. Time for muscle!" I went KyVilgax, the buffed myself up, and jumped into the hole, running through. Vines came striking at me, but I had managed to tear each one to bits. When bigger vines started to show up, I went Omniprime, transformed to truck mode, and zoomed on through, firing lasers from my trailer at them to fend them off. The vines eventually grabbed my trailer, prying me loose, so I split form it, and went Robot mode, then started shooting lasers at the ceiling, making rocks fall onto the vines, and I grabbed my trailer out of there. I transformed back into truck mode and latched my trailer back on, and stopped when my lights shined on Ben and Max.

Ben: "I told you he'd come back, Grandpa!"

Max: "Good! Hurry up then!" I went Frostbite, ran over, and shot ice vapor at the vines, then went Sandbox, and made my arms into hammers, and smashed them apart.

Max: "Good job. Let's get going." I went Cannonbolt.

Cannonbolt: "Cannonbolt express ready to rev up!" I grabbed them, but some vines pulled us into the ground. Outside, Gwen and the kids were still fighting the mushrooms.

Gwen: "Keep going!" They climbed to a rope slider while Gilbert was shooting down at them to slow them down, and Andy and Mandy were now fighting over the slide.

Andy: "I should go! I'm stronger!

Mandy: "No! I'll go! I know the way around better!"

Gwen: "Just go!" They both slid down, Gwen jumped down, and Gilbert eventually jumped down, while still shooting baseballs at them.

Gilbert: "Aw darn it! I ran out of ammo!" He threw the gun at them, but they weren't stopped.

Andy: "Now what?"

Gwen: "That canoe! We use that!" They pulled it over their heads, and charged through the crowd.

Mandy: "Will we be okay?"

Gwen: "I'll make sure of it!"

Andy: "Hurry!" They found a new cabin, and opened the door to it while tossing the canoe into the crowd. They propped a chair against the door.

Mandy: "We're in the counselor's office!"

Gwen: "What about it?"

Andy: "The counselor said he had a gun here somewhere."

Gilbert: "And he does!" it was a pistol.

Gwen: "Wow. Actually something that's helpful! Grab some chairs! We're going to fight them here!" The door was slammed open, and Gwen grabbed the pistol, and started shooting at the mushrooms while Andy used the chair he found to smack mushrooms, and Mandy was on top of the desk, and Gilbert was hiding under the desk.

Meanwhile…

Ben, Max, and I were pulled through the ground, and met a giant pink ball.

Cannonbolt: "I'll see if I can figure out why it's doing this." I went Wildvine.

Wildvine: Why are you attacking this camp?"

Pink ball: "I am the mycelium. I will take over your world with my spores, destroying your kid for good!"

Wildvine: "Not gonna happen!" I grew thorns out of my body, freeing myself, and I cut Max and Ben free. I tossed grenades at it, then went Snakepit, and landed on top of it, and shot venom at the tentacles holding it in place, then went Heatblast, and launched myself off, throwing fireballs, hoping to weaken it, then I went Stinkfly, and started cutting off more tentacles.

Mycelium: "Your resistance is pointless!" It grabbed me. I then became Chromastone, and blasted the tentacles holding me, breaking out, and I shot a laser at its face. I went Eye Guy when it grabbed me again, and I shot the tentacles with freeze rays and fire, while shooting my main laser beam at its face, stunning him. I went Omniprime, and yelled, "SUPER MODE! ENGAGE!" My trailer transformed into giant legs, then I latched on upside down, and my old legs came down and became arms, while my new head burst out the top. I pulled a rifle out of my back, locked on to each tentacle, and shot red and yellow lasers at each one, making it have seizures.

Ben: "it's working Kyle!" I locked on another time, but it slapped me.

Mycelium: "How DARE you strike me like that!" it tried to pick me up, but Max and Ben attacked the tentacles trying to get me, and I became Heatblast again, and launched myself back at him, then dropped a large fireball right into its face, then went Big Chill, and phased through it, making it freeze over. I became Humongousaur, and grew to 60 feet tall, and started to slam it in, until it whipped my face with a tentacle, then whipped me unconscious, reverting me to normal.

Max: "Kyle!"

Ben: "NO!"

Mycelium: "You two will make excellent appetizers!" It grabbed them both, and planned to eat them.

Ben: "Grandpa, I'm sorry."

Max: "For what?"

Ben: "Making him come here like this. I should've stayed with Gwen."

Max: "It can't be helped now."

Loud voice: "YES IT CAN!" I emitted black energy from my eyes and the Omntrix, then transformed into Raven from Teen Titans, but with a red cape, blue top, and an Omnitrix symbol on my belt.

Mycelium: "What?"

Ben: "Kyle?"

Kyle: "AZARETH METRION ZINTHOS!!!!" I grabbed each little ice shard with my telekinetic power, then crunched my hands together, crunching each piece into dust.

Ben: "Awesome!"

Kyle: "AAAGGGHHHH!!!! Must regain control! Must regain control! Can not feel a thing!!!" I was still emitting massive bursts of energy, and I was crouched to the ground, trying to calm down.

Max: "Calm down, Kyle! You can do this!" I finally recovered, when the ground stopped shaking, and I got up, with a straight face.

Ben: "Are you OK?"

Kyle: "Yes. We should be heading back." I floated up on a black energy disk. They looked at me weirdly.

Kyle: "You two getting on, or going on foot?" They got on, and I flew out of the hole, seeing it was day times, and dead mushrooms were lying across the ground. I landed on the ground, and turned the disk off, letting Ben and Max walk.

Gwen: "Kyle! You did it!"

Kyle: "It's Metrion."

Gwen: "Fine!"

Metrion: "I can't afford to feel anything."

Gwen: "Is that you, or the alien talking?"

Metrion: "Both." She stopped looking mad, then surprised. I noticed the huge plants coming out of the ground.

Metrion: "What are those things?"

Gilbert: "The spore pods. They have to be taken down now." I created my flying disk again.

Metrion: "Got it." I flew over to each one, tearing them down, and it took only a few minutes. I landed after I was done, and looked at Gwen. She walked over to me.

Metrion: "Uh, Gwen…"

Gwen: "What?"

Metrion: "I got too mad back there, I…"

Gwen: "I know. You're still okay." I cracked a smile.

Metrion: "Cool." We hugged each other, then Gwen felt something weird.

Gwen: "Kyle?"

Metrion: "What?"

Gwen: "There's something on your chest."

Metrion: "Oh great. Those."

Gwen: "Still glad to have you back, though."

Metrion: "Glad to be back."

The End.
