"Transformation", Post #13 by timothyology
This bit is fun.

One Week Ago, 30 years into the future.
As the glassed shell slowly lifted from the large, metallic egg, Ben 10,000 grimaced. Maybe this wasn't such a great idea… but he had to know. He watched anxiously, taking up a fighting stance as the seven foot, newly born-again alien stepped through a haze of noise, fog and heat.
"Benjamin Tennyson."
"Vilgax."
"Finally, my rebirth is complete. Tell me, what rotten deal do you wish me lay hands in?"
Ben's eyebrows furrowed.
"I need you to… kill me."
Vilgax's eyes went wide, a smile gracing his face.
"Surely, you think me mad, boy. That has been my intentions from the very beginning!" Vilgax started forward, arms raised towards the hero with 10,000 forms. Ben sighed.
"Not ME!"
Now it was Vilgax's turn to frown.
"I mean, the me from the past. The fifteen year old me."
Vilgax cackled with delight.
"You realize that if you are killed in the past-
"The future me will die with it, YES, I get it… but it can't be helped. The me from the past set off a chain of events using Alien X that will have turned this universe and all others into nothingness in a matter of days. You will be the one to… save us all."
Vilgax smirked.
"And what makes you think that I would possibly help you!?"
"Because… your new body isn't without its faults", Ben said, holding his wrist and the Omnitrix in front of his arch nemesis.
"A detonation device, I suspect?" Vilgax questioned.
"Of course… listen, we all have to make sacrifices, and this is one of yours. I will send you to the past, and you must kill me. Soon." Ben ran a hand through salt and pepper hair, and sat on the cold steel of his lab. Vilgax just stared.
"When do I start?"

As soon as I read that Vilgax was behind this, I had the BEST EVER idea of how to reincorperate him into the story. I hope this was as epic and thought provoking and AWESOME to all of you as it was in my head! Good luck Midesko!
