Rex Salazar was not breathing, at least not very well.
Lights were fuzzy, voices were muffled, and he swore he saw a giant banana talking to an eggplant. He was so tired, though, he blacked out.
When he woke up, Doc Holiday was talking to a blue humanoid that he could only assume was an EVO that wasn't completely bonkers. He also felt a huge pain in his arm "OWOWOWOWOWOW! What the heck!? Who the hell are you?!" He turned to see a yellow metal man with a syringe for an arm injecting something into him.
"Wow, really? We saved both of our worlds together and you just forgot about me?"
"What are you talking about?! I don't-" Rex stopped as he noticed a symbol on the man's suit, a green hourglass on a black circle. "Ben? Is that you man!? What happened? What alien is that?"
"This is a new one, I call him Hazmat. His bio-adaptive immune system and lack of a proper host makes his species a walking omni-cure." Hazmat transformed back into Ben "As for what happened, when my friend Rook," Hazmat pointed to the blue guy "Drove his Proto-truk out of the portal here, he accidentally hit you and shattered most of your bones."
Rex just stared at him, then at Rook, then at himself. He didn't look or feel like his bones were shattered. In fact, he felt better than he did when he woke up that morning. "So, your slime dude just pumped me full of himself and I got better?"
Deadpool (Who had just woken up in the morgue and was only wearing his mask and a pair of heart-patterned boxers) poked his head into the room from the hallway and screamed "POOR CHOICE OF WORDS SALAZAR!" before running away from nothing as everyone acted like he never showed up.
"Not exactly." Said Ben "It also turns out that Hazmat is a surgical genius. I repaired your entire nervous system in three hours where the greatest neurosurgeon on earth would have taken years. Wanna get a burger? Doing the impossible makes me hungry."
Rex smiled. This was definitely the Ben Ten he saved the universe with.
Later, at Providence hangar 1
Caesar and Holiday were astounded. They had never seen anything as advanced as the Proto-truk or the proto-tool before. "Impressive, is it not? Kevin Levin and I have been working on this beauty for over a year and a half now." said Rook as Caesar looked at the engine.
"Muy increíble." Said Caesar "You said this thing also has inter-dimensional travel?"
"That is actually the only thing that Levin and I did not put in there. It was created by an 'Upgrade', a small device that may very well rival the omnitrix or my proto-tool when it comes to versatility."
Holiday pressed a button on the proto-tool which made the gun transform into a laser gauntlet. "Oh my, where can I get something like this?" she said before rook took it away from her.
"Madam, I regret to inform you that there is only one functioning proto-tool in the universe. I can, however, make you an appointment with its' creator. When are you-"
"Doesn't matter, I'll make it work." said Holiday, deadpanned. Rook leaned back a bit in slight fear.
"Yeah, you don't want to mess with her amigo." Whispered Caesar to Rook.
Meanwhile at the Snack Shack
"No way! I don't care how you say you did it, there is just no way you held the entire big bang in your hands!"
"Fine. Then I won't believe you when you say you cured almost every EVO on earth at once"
Bobo suddenly interrupted. "Guys, guys. If this goes the way I think it's gonna, let me get somma the guys from providence to make some wagers first. Bobo needs him a new monster truck." Bobo smiled a toothy smile.
Ben and Rex looked at Bobo, then at each other. They smirked. "Settle this at the bug jar?" Asked Rex.
"I'll give you a 10-second head start." said Ben.
"You're on!" Rex created his Sky Slyder and took off for the Bug jar.
Ben started counting "One, two, three, four, fivesixseveneightnineTEN!" Ben slammed an the omnitrix and turned into XLR8 before racing off to the Bug jar.
Bobo blinked before making a call "Hey White? Ya may wanna get Six..."
Six was having a good time in Hawaii. His vacation had just started and was supposed to last a week when he saw a providence transport ship headed for his hotel. A few providence agents walked up to him with a few cases. "Rex, I assume?" asked agent Six, cocking his eyebrow. "Just get me my swords and my suit. And a bonus."
Back in the Bug jar
Rex was in his Omega-EVO form and Ben was Atomix. They had destroyed what was left of the bug jar and were now exhausted from putting up such a fight.
"ha...ha...ha... You... got some moves... for a... tin can." Said Rex, panting while supporting himself on his knees.
"Hehe... Look who's talking." said Atomix in his stereotypical heroic voice. "But seriously, that build is awesome." Both Rex and Atomix laughed, but were cut short as some sparks flew off of his white and green body. "What the...?"
Atomix turned around to see a providence attack helicopter with smoking guns pointing at him. "Attention EVO! This is Providence! Surrender now, or we will have to use force!" said a guy in the chopper.
Atomix looked over at Rex with his eye-brow... eye... thing... cocked. "Is he not aware that I'm Ben?"
"Dude, new alien?" said Omega Rex.
"Oh, right." Atomix pressed the omnitrix and transformed back into Ben. "Chill dudes! It's just me!" Suddenly, Ben got a message on his phone. He looked at it for a moment before turning to Rex. "Sorry dude, Vilgax is challenging me for the earth... again. Wanna do this some other time?"
Rex shrugged "Sure, any time."
Ben nodded. The Proto-Truk suddenly appeared in the sky and stopped right next to Ben. Rook rolled down the window before saying "Ben, I believe it is Tuesday again."
"I got the message." Ben hopped into the passenger seat before waving to Rex as Rook activated the dimension jumper and flew through the portal home. "So... Where should we go next? I mean after we beat Vilgax again."
"There was an interesting file that mentioned a team of mercenaries with inhuman capabilities. I think Kevin would be interested as well."
"Hmm... sounds cool! Can't wait to meet the crew."
Meanwhile... in another dimension...
A man in a straitjacket with pale skin and medium-length wavy ginger hair was suspended by his feet. He was looking through a microscope and typing at a computer when he found something noteworthy. Actually, he was typing at several computers with several dozen strips of prehensile white fabric originating at his suit. They all typed in unison as the man observed a single Nanite. When he was finished, he chuckled as the strips of cloth lifted him off of the hook that looped through a strip at the feet of his straitjacket. The strips moved him across the room, doctor octopus style, to a clear canister with a golden metal arm. He grinned a toothy grin from ear to ear as his crazy eyes rapidly changed color. "Kids can be so annoying when they have fancy toys, don't you agree Mr. Kleis? But worry no longer Mr. Kleis. Once I have reverse engineered your Nanite-DNA matrix, I will be able to pull the Omega Nanite schematics from the blood of Mr. Salazar." A strip of cloth held up a blood canister with the label 'Rex Salazar'. "Then I shall make you the Omega of Mr. Salazar, and the Alpha... Of my EVO/Life Fiber army! Now I just need one more... ingredient... to make my army truly unstoppable." He chuckled as he walked over to a monitor with a chemical formula displayed next to a picture of what looked like a bar of gold with a kangaroo on it "Hehehehehehehehehee. Ahahahahahahaha! AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
