blackmystique told me to go on ahead and skip her turn since she wasn't feeling well. Feel better!
Another note, I almost lost all of this when I messed up a little and ended up backing up. I nearly cried.

Roaches exploded like popcorn kernels as the Pyronite arm blazed brightly. Those were the lucky ones. The ones who felt the wrath of the Petrosapien arm weakly struggled as jagged pieces of crystal pinned them to the walls, the floor, and even the ceiling. All the while, the violent mutant rampaged about, all three eyes searching for their target.
The roaches had stopped actively attacking now. Instead, they fled much like their Earthen counterparts. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't move nearly as fast as Kevin with his Kineceleran legs.
The thick striped tail wrapped around one of the roaches and then jerked swiftly back, tearing the bug's head clean off. Meanwhile, the pair of Vulpimancer arms latched onto another two roaches.
"Where is Ben?!" Kevin snarled, all three eyes glaring.
The aliens screeched and struggled in his grip, trying to free themselves. Their shrieking added a strange counterpoint to the low-pitched blare of an alarm.
Neither sound, however, drowned out the very human scream.
"Ben!"
The amalgamation of the Tennyson boy's first ten aliens produced a large crystal shard from his Petrosapien arm, skewering both of his captives and pinning them to a third against the wall. He held out his Pyronite arm, a jet of flame turning the insect troops before him extra crispy, a few even exploding as others had done.
He raced past their corpses, heading in the direction of the screaming. He bared his teeth as he slashed and burned fleeing guards out of his way.
Whoever had brought such agony to the Tennyson boy would beg for death by the time he got through with them.

Ben's screaming only stopped when his throat became too hoarse to continue. He shuddered and shook as the two insects backed respectfully away and their client approached.
This new alien slithered on its belly like a snake before straightening up. Thin legs and arms then parted from the serpentine body. The alien reached out, a scaled hand running along the new cuts that decorated the human's back.
"Perfect. Abssssssolutely perfect," the alien hissed, its yellow eyes seeming to drink in Ben's form. "Exssssquisssite."
The brunette winced from not just the touch but a bit of saliva that escaped with each hiss. But his throat hurt too much to even offer a "say it, don't spray it" comment. Instead, he laid there, hardly able to move without pain.
His fingers moved toward the Omnitrix which seemed to be regaining its own strength. It started glowing an angry green. The watch had acted on its own before, and Ben wondered what it might try to do now.
'I don't care,' Ben decided. 'I just want it to stop.'
Then the door literally exploded inward, a massive fireball propelling it in Silla and Sagark's direction. The pair buzzed hastily away on their dragonfly wings, barely managing to miss the door along with the massive crystal shards that followed it. The serpentine alien swiveled his entire body about to get a better look as a massive shadow appeared in the smoke.
Ben started losing consciousness, unable to deal with the agony of his back any longer. However, he remained awake long enough to see the Omnitrix's face start to spin.
