Chapter 49: Kyle 10 vs. Negative 10

Ali, Gwen and I all went out, as usual, to stop some criminals on the loose. Ali and Gwen were riding on me while I was chasing their getaway copter as Jetray.

Ali: "Can't you get us closer?"

Jetray: "I'm trying, but, it's a little hard! I've never done this with passengers!"

Gwen: "Ugh… Ali. Come on. I'll make us a path." She created a floating platform, and they both jumped on it. Gwen levitated it towards the helicopter, and the crook with a machine gun started firing out bullets. Gwen put up a force field to block them.

Ali: "Can't you fire back?"

Gwen: "You have electric shocks remember?"

Ali: "Oh… yeah." She shot out some electricity out at the helicopter, and the whole thing short circuited.

Ali: "Yes!"

Gwen: "Um, you just deactivated the whole helicopter!"

Ali: "Oh s***!"

Jetray: "No!" I went Spidermonkey, and shot out my webs at the street lights below, Gwen brought up a plat form, catching me, then I landed in my web.

Ali: "Kyle! What do you think you're doing?!"

Gwen: "He maybe dim-witted at times, but he isn't crazy enough to do that. Right?"

Spidermonkey: "Okay. Got to time this just right. Any second now… any second…" It was just a few feet down.

Spidermonkey: "NOW!" I slapped down on my symbol, and got bigger, growing spider legs, and looking more like a gorilla.

Spidermonkey: "Ultimate Spidermonkey! AH-AH!" I jumped out of the web, and I caught the helicopter. I then grabbed its tail, and jumped down, carrying it to the ground, then whipped it off to the side, tossing each crook out of it.

Gwen: "Wow."

Ali: "This Ultimate feature is seriously AWESOME!"

Ultimate Spidermonkey: "Tell me about it!! OOH-AH-OOH!" I started beating my chest like I was Tarzan.

Gwen: "Will you ever give it a rest?"

Ultimate Spidermonkey: "I doubt it."

Crook: "Hey! Freeze!" He got out a gun, but I shot a web onto his hand. His other buddies brought theirs out as well, but I shot webs at them, then jumped into the air, and beat the crap out of each of them.

Gwen: "All in a day's work." Cops came and took them away.

Ali: "Tell me about it…"

Ultimate Spidermonkey: "Well, we're invincible, the three of us. Nothing can stop us! OOH-OOH!"

Gwen: "We never lost, true, but we sometimes had hard battles."

Ultimate Spidermonkey: "My new Ultimate feature makes us invincible! Let's face it; we never had such an easy fight since Eon!"

Gwen: "Well, we helped, too, thank you!?"

Ali: "Yeah, Kyle. It's not all about you!"

Ultimate Spidermonkey: "I don't mean you're not a part of the team, but, I'm the main, awesomest member! Check these biceps! Never thought Spidermonkey could have such an awesome look!" I flexed, but they weren't impressed.

Ultimate Spidermonkey: "Are they flabby?"

Gwen: "No. We just need you to acknowledge us as teammates, equals, you know?"

Ultimate Spidermonkey: "I do."

Ali: "Not by the way you were just talking to us." I reverted to normal.

Kyle: "Sorry. It's just, with this, we're invincible, y'know?"

Gwen: "Ultimate everybody. We get it." I became XLR8.

XLR8: "Come on. I'll get you two home." They hopped on, and I took off.

The next day… I was in class with Ali again.

Ali: "So, Kyle, you like drawing, too?"

Kyle: "Yeah, but I suck at it. I'm gonna draw Ultimate Spidermonkey real quick, to prove my point." I drew him, then gave it to Ali.

Ali: "This doesn't suck, Kyle. It just… lacks detail."

Kyle: "Oh… okay…"

Ali: "Watch. I'll draw him too, based on this, but with some more detailing. Like, shading here, a little extra fur here, make these spider legs slightly longer, give him some pecs…"

Kyle: "Pecs?"

Ali: "Some biceps and triceps, a tongue in his mouth, make his teeth sharper… and we're done!" I took the drawing from her, and looked at it.

Kyle: "This does make mine look sucky."

Ali: "Kyle… It just lacked detail. Look at yours more closely." I put them both on the table, and compared them, side by side.

Kyle: "Wow. It DOES lack detail."

Ali: "See? Put a little more time into them. They'll look good."

Kyle: "Yeah. I guess you're right."

Ali: "More time goes a long way sometimes." She smiled to me.

Kyle: "Yep. Sure does." The announcement speakers came on.

Announcement: "Will Ali Levin and Kyle please report to the main office?"

Kids: "Busted!"

Kyle: "Let's get this out of the way." We left the class, and headed down to the office, where Max was waiting.

Kyle: "Max? What's…"

Max: "Doctor's appointment. Come on." We both ran out, and we saw the RV. Gwen and Ben were already inside.

Ben: "I get to skip!"

Kyle: "Bad guys again?"

Max: "Yeah. Come on." He took off, out of the parking lot, and took us out to the Fort Knox gold storage facility with his new rocket boosters. A kid named Cooper, who Max had to watch for a friend of his for a while, had upgraded the RV slightly. We made it there in seconds flat.

Kyle: "Alright. Let's get in there and kick some a**." Ali got out, and touched a steel pipe, absorbing it.

Ali: "Let's go." Gwen got on her Lucky Girl outfit.

Cooper: "You're Lucky Girl?"

Gwen: "Yeah…"

Cooper: "Awesome!" We all walked in, and were hiding behind some boxes below.

Ali: "Why can't we just rush in and show them what my steel can do?"

Max: "There's something special stored here that we need to make sure no one steals."

Kyle; "So, that doctor thing was fake?"

Max: "Kind of."

Kyle; "Duh…" I looked beyond it, and saw some guys hopping around, clucking like chickens.

Kyle: "Sublimino."

Ali: "Who?"

Gwen: "Sublimino. He's our hypnotist enemy. Managed to get Kyle to steal a bunch of stuff for him."

Ali: "Really?"

Gwen: "That's proof that he only thinks with his muscles, Ali." Ali giggled.

Kyle: "Ha ha." I looked up more, and saw them getting shot down at from other people with guns.

Kyle: "I'll get the gun dudes. The rest of you try to see if that thing is still there!" I became XLR8, and zoomed up through the stairs to where the gun guys were.

XLR8: "Think you all can hit me?!" They immediately started firing at me. I dodged each one of their shots, and punched each one, disarming them.

XLR8: "Well, that was quick for me." I ran back down, seeing that they were fighting the Circus Freaks.

XLR8: "Circus Freaks? This just doesn't end, does it?" I zoomed down the staircase, and grabbed Frightwig's hair, lassoing her up in it. Ali just used a hammer hand to pummel Thumbskull in the face.

Ali: "Is that all you got, numbnut? There's plenty more where that came from!"

Acid Breath: "Oh yeah, there is alright!"

Gwen: "Not this time!" She came from behind him, and kicked him in the back. I became Echo Echo next, and yelled at Thumbskull, making him cover his ears, and Ali bashed him again. He fell onto the floor, then I multiplied into 40 of me, and dog-piled on top of him.

Echo 1: "Dog-pile!!" Thumbskull then hurled me off of him. I regrouped back into one me.

Echo Echo: "Ali, gwen, try to find SUblimino and stop him. I'll handle these guys."

Max: "Ben, Cooper and I will make sure the thing is still there." I gave him a thumbs-up, and faced the three circus freaks.

Frightwig: "A robot guy? Ooh. This'll be fun…"

Acid Breath: "I know."

Thumbskull: "And he's so small."

Echo Echo: "Maybe you should get a taste of…" I became Fourarms in front of them.

Acid Breath: "As if the strong man can stop us either. Get him, Frightwig!"

Frightwig: "Gladly!" She launched her hair at me, but I charged at her, grabbing her hair, and hurling her into the other two.

Fourarms: "Of course, with regular Fourarms comes…" I slapped down on my symbol, growing lrger, getting spiky hair in a Mohawk like form, and my fangs became visble.

Fourarms: "ULTIMATE FOURARNS! The flash disappeared, and Thumbskull charged at me, like I thought he would. I made my hands hammers, and pounded him with each one. He flew into the ceiling, dizzy.

Ultimate Fourarms: "Oops. Did I bash him too hard?"

Acid Breath: "Let's see how you handle this!!" He spit acid at me, but I jumped over it, making my hands normal hands again, and clobbered him with all four of them.

Ultimate Fourams: "I'd better give my friends a heads-up." I glowed, and became a new alien, with a yellow body, and big arms with gauntlet hands, and a short tail sticking out of me. Little ears also stuck out of my head, which was covered like a helmet.

Kyle: "Armodrillo, baby!" I turned my hands into drills, then started digging through the ground, ending up where Max, Ben, and Cooper were.

Armodrillo: "How's the thing?"

Cooper: "Sublimino took off with it. The other guys were just a distraction!"

Armodrillo: "Is that so? Well then." I jumped back up into the ceiling, and started digging through it. I went under the Circus Freaks, and popped up where Sublimino was.

Armodrillo: "Jig's up, Sublimino!"

Sublimino: "Ah, Kyle. I was wondering when we'd meet again."

Armodrillo: "Where are Gwen and Ali?"

Sublimino: "Oh, girls!" They both walked out with blank expressions.

Armodrillo: "No you didn't!"

Sublimino: "But I did! Attack him!" Gwen's hands glowed with energy, and Ali's hands became maces.

Armodrillo: "Well, at least I have a quick fix!" I became Metrion, and put my hands on their heads. They both gasped.

Sublimino: "What did you do?"

Metrion: "Well, I don't know exactly how you were planning to use them, but it won't work anymore. I ended your trance."

Sublimino: "No…"

Ali: "Yeah, little man. You're pretty much toast."

Gwen: "Where's the thing you were going to steal?!"

Sublimino: "Um… I don't have it!"

Metrion: "If you don't tell us, I'll be forced to bring it out of you the hard way, Subby."

Ali: "Either our way, or the highway."

Sublimino: "Um… RUN!" He ran off, and we saw the Circus Freaks also come after him.

Metrion: "I'll get Sublimino, you two handle the freaks!"

Ali: "Cool." She charged with Gwen, and hit Frightwing and Thumbskull. Gwen punched Acid Breath, and I shot down an energy beam to stop Sublimino.

Metrion: "Well, any last requests?"

Sublimino: "Look into my watch!" He hit a button, and I completely froze up.

Sublimino: "Sleep my puppet! You shall only wake up at the sound of a snapping finger… starting now!" he clapped his hands, and I fell to the floor, snoozing. Acid Breath shot acid at Ali, which hit her.

Ali: "OW! Acid hurts!"

Gwen: "I got it!"

Acid Breath: "RUN!" He ran off with Thumbskull and Frightwig behind him.

Gwen: "Um… I got this!" She shot water at Ali, getting the acid off.

Ali: "Thanks, Gwen. What happened to…" They saw me, and I was sleeping.

Ali: "Hypnotized?"

Gwen: "Yep. Better wake him up." She snapped her finger, and I jumped up immediately.

Metrion: "What the… what the…. What just happened?"

Gwen: "Got hypnotized. You fell asleep."

Metrion: "D***IT!" I reverted to normal, crossing my arms, looking mad. Ben, Max and Cooper came up to us. Ali made her hands normal, and let the steel go off.

Gwen: "So, now what do we do?"

Max: "I don't know. Guess we'll just have to let this go for now until another robbery pops up."

Kyle: "Fine." I had no clue where they went." We were taken back to our schools, and finished up the rest of the day there.

With the Circus Freaks…

Acid Breath: "We actually got away from them!"

Thumbskull: "That's a first, huh?"

Frightwig: "Yes, it is."

Sublimino: "You never had me with you before, either."

Acid Breath: "True. We owe you one."

Frightwig: "We'd better go to the boss. Show him we got it."

Sublimino: "We will." They walked up to a chair.

Guy in chair: "Did you get the device for me?"

Acid Breath: "Yes, actually. Sublimino was a big help."

Guy in chair: "Excellent. Red Ninja, if you would?" A guy in a red ninja suit walked up to them, and got the device from Sublimino.

Guy in chair: "But it surprises me that you got away from Kyle so easily."

Sublimino: "He's not immune to hypnotism, apparently."

Guy in chair: "So he isn't. But with his new Ultimate forms, I thought it would be more than difficult to capture the device. I see that I was wrong."

Frightwig: "So, now what?" The guy got out of the chair.

Guy: "Well, Dr. Animo, Clancy, Charmcaster, and Rojo are still out. We'll all attack together once they get the other device that we need. It is simple, is it not?"

Acid Breath: "Yep. It's simple, Forever King, sir."

Forever King (As he was stepping out of the shadows, revealing himself): "Perfect."

With us now…

Kyle: "Well, what I find difficult is the fact we couldn't stop the Circus Freaks. They're usually so easy."

Gwen: "They had Sublimino with them. Think about it."

Kyle: "Yeah, true."

Max: "Well, we're heading to the new robbery attempt. Expect anybody to appear."

Kyle: "I am." We all got out, and Ali touched the side of the building.

Ali: "I'm ready to tear something up." She turned her hands into swords.

Kyle: "Well, time to show these guys how to handle Kyle 10!" I slammed the Omnitrix down, and transformed to Heatblast.

Heatblast: "Oh yeah. This is what I'm talking about." I made a fire vortex surrounding us, then I made it fly up to the top of the building, and lit my hand son fire again.

Ben: "That was awesome!!"

Heatblast: "Whoever's here, show yourselves!"

Dr. Animo: "Well, welcome, Kyle 10!" He appeared, riding on a giant bat, and Charmcaster and some robot appeared on both sides of him.

Charmcaster: "Kyle! Hi!!"

Robot: "For the love of…"

Dr. Animo: "Where's Clancy anyway?" He appeared from the top, and landed in between us after he jumped down.

Dr. Animo: "there you are!" He threw his jacket off, showing that he became half-bug.

Robot: "Ugh. I'm still grossed out by him."

Charmcaster: "Me, too. Geez…"

Heatblast; "Ali, Gwen, try to handle Animo and Charmcaster. The other two are mine!" I launched myself up into the air, then shot down a fireball at Clancy. He jumped out, and tackled me down, but I hurled him off of me. I shot a flamethrower at him, seeming to hold him back, but he flew out, and tackled me again.

Heatblast: "I'm not hot enough for ya? Then how about this!!" I slapped my symbol, growing hotter, then I got to 7 feet tall, I eyes got a visor look to them, and my hands became larger. My final feature was growing angel wings, and a volcano out of my back.

Heatblast: "Ultimate Heatblast!" I positioned my volcano onto my shoulder, and started firing magma balls at Clancy. He dodged them, but couldn't get close to me. I was too hot for him. I flew up, and punched him, sending him flying into the robot. It dodged, then flew up, shooting laser beams. I grew a flame sword out of my hand, reflecting each shot like a lightsaber.

Robot: "Come on!"

Ultimate Heatblast: "That voice sounds familiar…"

Robot; "Remember way back when?"

Ultimate Heatblast: "No way! Cyborg girl?"

Rojo: "Yep. Took you that long to find me out?"

Ultimate Heatblast: "Oh God. You are SO not going to ruin my day!" I charged down at her, and she dodged me. Clancy sent out a swarm of bugs, but I used fire breath to melt them all. Charmcaster and Gwen were fighting each other.

Charmcaster: "He isn't yours, freak! You were just lucky!"

Gwen: "Duh. I'm Lucky Girl, remember?"

Charmcaster: "You… will NOT have him!" She shot out an energy beam, and Gwen deflected it off of her, then kicked Charmcaster in the face. Ali had just now turned her hands into cannons, and was shooting electric blasts at Animo, whose bat kept dodging her shots.

Ali: "Stand STILL!!"

Dr. Animo: "I wouldn't."

Ali: "Then maybe this will convince you!" She transformed her feet into springs, and bounced up, turning her right hand into a giant fist, and pummeled the bat in the face with it, sending it flying into the wall. Ali made her feet normal again to land properly, then started shooting out more bullets to stop Animo from getting back up. Max, Ben and Cooper had found the object they were looking for.

Max; "Here it is. We'd better take it."

Ben: "Grandpa! Incoming!" Clancy was flying for him, and Max grabbed it, then rolled out of the way of him. A fireball hit his back, then Rojo was hurled into him.

Cooper: "Kyle?"

Ultimate Heatblast: "yep. I got 'im."

Dr. ANimo: "Well, let's see if you got THIS!" The bat screamed at me, and I was hit by it, nearly falling off the building.

Ultimate Heatblast: "Now, I'm going to go berserk on you!!" I transformed to Echo Echo.

Echo Echo: "If you can't handle me, then there's no way you got… THIS!!!" I was screaming at him at the final word, and the bat screamed again. Our sonic vibrations collided, canceling each other out.

Echo Echo: "Hmph. Time to kick it up a notch!" I slapped my symbol, then turned blue, growing slightly taller, and got more robotic.

Echo Echo: "Ultimate Echo Echo!"

Dr. Animo: "Ultimate?"

Ultimate Echo Echo: "Yes. Observe, my good doctor." I split into four of me, then the three of them transformed into Ultimate Humongousaur, Ultimate Swampfire, and Ultimate Big Chill.

Ultimate Humongousaur: "Ultimate Humongousaur!"

Ultimate Swampfire: "ULTIMATE SWAMPFIRE!"

Ultimate Big Chill: "ULTIMATE BIG CHILL!"

Ultimate Echo Echo: "Attack together!" Ultimate Humongousaur shot out his missiles, Ultimate Swampfire shot out a bunch of blue fire bombs, then Ultimate Big Chill shot out some flame missiles, while I threw two sonic Frisbees at Animo.

Dr Animo: "Uh oh." There was a huge explosion, and he was sent flying out of the building. Ultimate Big Chill kicked Rojo out, Ultimate Swampfire shot down Clancy with a blue flamethrower, then Ultimate Humongousaur roared in Charmcaster's face, scaring her off.

Ultimate Swampfire: "Team Ultimate, we have done it."

Ultimate Big Chill: "Yep. We sure have."

Ultimate Echo Echo: "Well, we did good, but we should be getting back to normal. We don't have much time like this."

Ultimate Humongousaur: "As we do, my friend." They all turned into green energy, flying into my symbol, and I reverted to normal.

Kyle: "Wow. That felt… Strange…"

Ben: "What do you need us for? You're your own army!"

Kyle: "Yeah, but I have to recharge now. That was a lot of energy I just used there." A rock dog ran at Max, and knocked him over, stealing the device.

Ali: "Hey! Get back here you little… AGH!" CHarmcaster had got her, then escaped with it, and the rock dog.

Kyle: "Get back here! Going Jetray!" I concentrated, but wasn't changing.

Omnitrix: "Recharging. Please stand by."

Kyle: "Geez, thanks a lot. Sometimes, you're a piece of junk, you know that?"

Omnitrix: "Shut up, human."

Kyle: "Wow."

Gwen: "We'd better start going after them."

Max:"They're heading fro Mount Rushmore. Come on."

Kyle: "We're in a bit of a hurry now, mind letting me use Upgrade?"

Omnitrix: "Upgrade, activated." It transformed me to Upgrade.

Upgrade: "Okay. I'll follow her." We got in, I merged with it, and we headed out.

Upgrade: "Okay. We're here. I got in, and reverted to normal.

Cooper: "Now what?"

Omnitrix: "Recharging. Please stand by."

Kyle: "Well, at least we can afford to now."

Ben: "Um guys, we're surrounded…" I looked out the window, and we saw the Circus Freaks, Sublimino, Charmcaster, Clancy, Rojo, and Dr. Animo all surrounding the RV, with some giant knight dude and a ninja with them.

Max: "They're all working for the Forever King!"

Kyle: "Great! Just great!"

Gwen: "We're toast."

Ali: "I'll hold them off."

Kyle: "No. We need a better plan."

To be continued…

Author's note: I just saw Duped on Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, and, they finally decided to go with the Echo Echo thing I came up with for this. Geez… Ripped me off! Or were they planning that? I dunno.
