Ch. 7 Assemble
The Rift Gate, with five beams shooting to it, keeping it open, had opened, and with it; dozens of Mutradi fighters rained down onto the city. They opened fire and the Mutradi began their invasion and onslaught.
"I can't let this happen!" Danny exclaimed as he blasted to the portal.
Kim, Ron, Rufus, and Ben just stood there and saw their ally burst into the air to take on the Alien invasion.
"Is he out of his mind?!" Kim exclaimed. "He really thinks he can take them all alone!?"
"He's not." Ben declared. "This may not be Earth but its still Earth."
"Dude, are you crazy?!" Ron exclaimed
"I deal with this kind of stuff all the time." Ben dismissed. He began to walk to the direction of the Rift Gate, but Kim stopped him with a hand on his shoulder.
"You'll die." She said in a worried tone.
"No, I won't" Ben replied.
"What are you trying to prove?" Kim asked
"'Trying to…' I'm not trying to prove anything!" Ben exclaimed. "Look around! There's an invasion and you guys wanna turn tail and run!?"
"I'm… we're…." Ron stumbled, Rufus looked down.
"We've have dealt with an invasion before, but nothing like this." Kim said. "This is bigger than us."
Ben's expressions dimmed a bit. "Look. This is big, your right. It may be bigger than me, and it's definitely bigger than you two." He began "But that's the point of being a hero. It's not about fame, it's about putting other people before yourself, or what you want. It's about doing the right thing just because it's the right thing to do. It's about making a difference. Get out of your own way, focus on what's important: everyone else."
Kim, Ron, and Rufus looked at him, moved by his speech. He really was a hero.
"Okay." Kim said with a smile. "But what do we do exactly?"
"You two see what can you can do about any of those things on the ground, I'm going with Danny." Ben said.
"But what's to stop your 'watch-thingy' from timing out or something?" Ron asked.
"This." Ben replied "Omnitrix, voice command override code 10."
"Voice command authorized." The watch replied in a monotone voice.
"Access Master Control." Ben commanded. The watch suddenly exploded in green light before the light dimmed.
"Master Control unlocked." The watch stated. Ben only did this as an absolute last resort, he would deal with Azmuth later.
"You think you two can handle these things on your own?" Ben asked
"Ben, my friend." Ron began as his MMP aura formed. "It would be our pleasure." He finished with a smile.
Danny blasted straight up to the portal. The Mutradi forces didn't hesitate to open fire, and Danny didn't hesitate to fire back. Danny flew and swerve around the blasts and blasted ecto beams, never missing a single shot. Each ecto-beam a fighter to pieces.
Seeing more and more Mutradi fighters pour out, Danny swirled around and unleashed a volley of ecto-beams straight into the sky; taking out most of the fighters.
Any fighter Danny missed zoomed past him and began to open fire onto the streets below. Cars exploded, small craters were formed; it was chaos. The panicking citizens were forced to take cover in all the buildings and shops on the sides of the streets.
Seeing the people in trouble, Danny was forced to abandon his attack on the portal and protect the civilians down below.
Rex flew as fast as he could on his Sky slider, straight to the city; with Jake trailing right behind him, carrying Zak. From the distance they could see what was happening.
"Whoa!" Rex exclaimed "Looks like you were right about the whole 'alien invasion' thing, Zak."
"We gotta get in there and help!" Zak shouted
"How can we help exactly?" Jake asked "I've dealt with plenty of crazy stuff before, but not this big."
"Jake" Rex began "There are innocent people there, they could be dying." Rex's statement made Jake look down a bit. "Well, I'm not gonna sit by and let that happen. I rather die fighting, than live hiding."
"He's right Jake." Zak agreed.
Jake's smile soon faded into an eager grin. "Then what are waiting for? Time to put the put the hurt on those fools!"
The three then flew straight into the city.
What no one seemed to notice from the portal just above the city; there were two streams of fighters pouring out. One was laying siege to Sherman bellow, the other was heading off into another direction. The direction of a certain alien team.
Lance and Illana could see visuals, from inside their armor, of the Mutradi laying siege to the city and endangering everyone there.
"This is horrible!" Illana exclaimed "We need to get over there NOW!"
"Then let's go!" Lance urged, but before they could get much further, multiple laser blasts shot them and blasted them to the ground.
Though they impacted the ground, they were undamaged.
"Multiple Mutradi star-fighters and drop ships are approaching our position." Octus observed
"Now you tell us?!" Lance exclaimed
The alien fighters began to open fire on the three. They were forced to fly in separate directions from each other.
The alien drop ships shot multiple pods to the ground. When the pods opened, multiple Mutradi soldiers crawled out, each armed to the teeth. They too opened fire on their mortal enemies.
Lance had launched missiles from his armor's sides and each made contact with a ship or Mutradi soldier.
Illana begun to fire lasers as well.
Octus unleashed a torrent of lightning bolts on anything Mutradi related.
As the trio kept fighting, more and more enemy forces kept coming.
Danny flew between buildings in an effort to shake off the Mutradi forces at his tail and shooting at him. He thought about going intangible and flying through buildings, but dismissed that when he thought about the fighters slamming into the building and killing the people inside, that's when it hit him.
He flew straight down to the ground, the Mutradi fighters following him. He turned intangible and phased into the ground, the Mutradi didn't have enough time to pull up. All of them slammed into the concrete and exploded. There about 10 or 15 fighters there, so it was quite the explosion.
Danny phased up and brushed his hands. He then saw dozens more of Mutradi fighters come up at him and open fire. Before he could react, Ben, in the form of Chromastone, flew up and absorbed all the blasts. Chromastone then redirected all the energy into a colorful laser that destroyed all the fighters.
"Thanks." Danny thanked
"Don't mention it." Chromastone replied.
"Where are Ron and Kim?" Danny asked.
"A few of these ships are drop-ships, and are sending soldiers to the ground." Chromastone relayed. "Kim and Ron are doing what they can there."
"Alright." Danny said. He reached into himself and took out an intangible box, which turned tangible once he took it out. "Give them these." He opened the box revealing a few Fenton Phone ear-pieces. "They're communicators. We'll be able to stay in contact."
"Got it." Chromastone understood. He took the box, put one in his ear, and flew off in the direction of Kim and Ron.
Multiple police had arrived to the scene. But they didn't have a clue what to make of the scene. Most were just shooting their pistols into the air, desperately trying to shoot down the alien ships.
The captain was among them, when an officer ran to him. "It could be an hour before the National Guard shows up." The officer said.
"'National Guard'?!" The captain exclaimed. "Do they even know what the Hell is going on?!"
"Do we?" The officer replied.
Right then, Rex landed on the police car in-front of them, getting their attention.
"You need men in these buildings." Rex began. "They're people inside and they're going to be running right out into this crap. You take them through the basement or subway, keep them off the streets. You're gonna need a perimeter as far back as Sherman Avenue." Rex instructed, he silently thanked his strategy training with Six and Providence.
"Why the Hell should I take orders from you, kid?" The captain asked.
Right as he said that, two Mutradi jumped down right behind Rex. Rex quickly formed his smack hands and blocked their attacks. He punched one and sent it flying smack into a building. He knocked the other one down and crushed it both hands, killing it.
"I need men those buildings." The captain commanded his officers with him "Lead them down and away from the streets." He accessed his Walkie-talkie "We're gonna set up a perimeter all the way to Sherman Avenue."
Rex formed his Bad Axes and jumped back into a swarming pack of Mutradi. He sliced and diced any that came his way. When they started shooting at him, he drew his block party and formed a barrier around himself. They continued to pond on his shield, it started to crack.
One creature was about to shoot, but it felt a tap on its shoulder. It turned around and saw Zak jam his claw right in its face. As it screeched in pain, it dropped its gun; which Zak immediately picked up. Despite its large size, it was light enough for him to wield, and had the same kind of feel as a Cortex Disrupter, a weapon of his parent's design. Zak shot all the Mutradi pounding away at Rex's shield.
Rex deactivated his shield and saw Zak with the gun. "Congratulations." Rex began "You are officially, a badass."
Zak gave a light laugh. "You too, pal."
They both turned and saw more Mutradi jumping down and charging at them. Jake landed in front of them and carried half a car in each of his hands. He flew in and pounded away all the bad guys with the halves like boxing gloves. When the make-shift weapons fell apart, Jake looked at his surroundings of dead Mutradi with a cocked smile. "Yo! Can I get a 'Whoop! Whoop!'?!"
"Lizard-breath" Rex began "Don't push it." He kidded.
Meanwhile at the field far outside the city; Lance, Octus, and Illana were facing a continuous onslaught and torrent of Mutradi.
Lance was faced multiple star-fighters and jet-packed Mutradi. They kept coming in too close, so he switched to his short-range weapons; drawing swords from his armor. He flew up and diced everything in sight. Soon a jet packed alien rammed him into the ground and punched his armored face continuously. Lance grabbed its head and crushed it. More and more charged in, until he unleashed a volley of missiles.
Illana wasn't having as much luck either. She kept mostly to the sky. Blasting lasers at her enemies. Her armor did provide her strength and was durable, but the strength was useless due to her enemies attacking from a distance, the laser made up for it a bit, she seemed to be facing an endless wave.
Octus mostly kept to the ground. He had both strength and speed by his side. He grabbed two soldiers by the heads and spun around so fast, the two aliens looked like some kind of ring. He moved and bashed them into an oncoming swarm of enemies. Once they were all dealt with, Octus stopped and saw his grabbed enemies were well-beyond dead. Multiple fighters came at him, and he was forced to retreat.
All the while, the Mutradi were keeping the princess, corporal, and robot away from each other, and appeared to be moving them even further away. The Mutradi knew that, if they could keep the three far away from each other, they couldn't form Titan.
Kim and Ron were in the street right below the portal, batting through many Mutradi ground troops.
Kim had three aliens charging in at her. One tried to slash at her, only for her to do a back flip kick to its jaw, dislocating it. Another tried to grab her only for her to activate her battle-suit's force field, another was about to throw a fuel tanker at her. She just crossed her arms. The alien threw it and it exploded. The force field, and Kim, were undamaged, but the two Mutradi near her were dead. She then took advantage of its confusion. She jumped on it, jammed her grappler on its back and shot it at a fast moving star-fighter.
"Enjoy your trip." She said with a good-bye wave. The alien was dragged away into the air by the cord.
She turned to see Ron bashing away a group of aliens with a metal girder like a baseball bat. One jumped on him and hit the bar with cupped fists. Ron kicked the alien away and jammed the girder into its chest, killing it.
Rufus came onto his shoulder and pulled his cheek. "Not exactly the best time Rufus." Ron told him. Rufus pointed to the 90 degree bent girder and to a group of incoming fighters. Seeing where Rufus was going. Ron smiled and threw the girder. It spun like a boomerang and destroyed the fighters.
"Just like Warhak's invasion all over again, huh?" Kim reminisced to her boyfriend.
"You and I remember that very differently." Ron replied.
Four more Mutradi were coming at them, only for Ben in the form of Shocksquatch to land in front of them and deliver yellow lightning bolts directly through their chests. He turned back to Kim and Ron. He held out the box Danny had given him.
"What are those?" Kim asked
"Communicators." Shocksquatch answered "Danny gave them to me so we can stay in contact."
"Good idea." Ron said. "Now we can…"
He was interrupted by a large shadow coming from the Portal.
Danny had just blasted away a Mutradi fighter when something coming through the Rift Gate caught his attention.
It appeared to be another ship. A much larger Mutradi ship. It appeared to have the equal width of a football field, and the length of two fields. It was shaped like some kind of centipede, and as it flew, it moved like one as well.
From inside the ship, there were many Mutradi operating it. One pushed a button at the bridge console, then many Mutradi shot out of its sides. They all latched onto the building and began firing their weapons into the streets bellow.
It flew right passed Danny, who was looking in wide-eye shock. "Guys…" he spoke into his Fenton Phone.
"...Are you seeing this?" He asked Kim, Ron, and Shocksquatch down on the streets.
"'Seeing'" Kim answered "Still working on 'believing'." She stated
"Why do I get the feeling things are gonna get much harder for us?" Shocksquatch asked
Ron's jaw hung down, and Rufus looked like he was about to faint.
An injured, and crawling Mutradi was about to fire its gun at the three from behind, when a metal force suddenly crushed him.
The three turned around to the sound of metal crushing flesh. Rex had withdrew his Punk Busters looking at the three people in front of him. What caught his attention was the symbol on Shocksquatch's belt.
"I know that symbol." Rex began. "Ben?"
Shocksquatch had turned back into Ben. "Rex?" Their confusion turned into relief. "Dude!" Ben exclaimed as they walked to each other and shook hands "Finally a familiar face!"
"Tell me about it." Rex replied.
Kim and Ron walked up with confused looks themselves. "A friend of yours?" Kim asked Ben
Ben looked between them. "Right. Rex; this is Kim Possible, a teenage spy. And that's her boyfriend, Ron Stoppable, mystic martial art master." Ben introduced. "Guys, this is Rex Salazar. A guy who can build machines from his body."
"Nice to meet you." Kim greeted.
"Right." Rex said.
Another Mutradi burst onto the scene and was about to pounce on them, only to get shot in the head.
They all turned to the shooter, Zak Saturday, with his new weapon (stolen Mutradi gun).
"Ben!" Zak exclaimed as he ran up him. "Man, am I glad to see you."
"Great entrance their Zak." Rex congratulated. Then they something popped up in each of their minds.
"You know him!?" All three asked at the same time.
"Rex, Zak is from my Earth." Ben briefly explained.
"Wow, talk about a quinidine." Rex stated.
"Speaking of which." Zak began. "This isn't our Earth, and it's not his either."
"Well that complicates things." Ben said.
"You sure know a lot people dude." Ron told Ben.
"Uh." Ben began.
"I'm Zak Saturday." Zak interrupted/introduced.
Right before anything was said five Mutradi came running right at them, but like before, they were stopped. By balls of fire that roasted them alive. They all looked to see the American Dragon land in the middle of the burnt carcasses.
"Jake?!" Kim and Ron both exclaimed
"Kim!? Ron!?" Jake began. "What the Hell are you doing here?!"
"We were about to ask you the same thing." Kim replied
All six of them gathered together. This day was getting even crazier by the minute, for each of them.
"So..." Zak began "This all seems…horrible."
"I've seen worse." Rex stated.
"Looks like reinforcements showed up, huh? We could use it." Danny contacted.
"Boy I'll say." Kim admitted.
"Who's that?" Rex asked
"Danny Phantom." Ben introduced. "Half-ghost guy, very powerful."
"I can say the same for them." Danny began as Ben handed Rex and Zak each a Fenton Phone, and Kim handed Jake one. "I caught a couple glimpses of them from the air, they can hold their own pretty well."
"Absoltuley." Ron agreed.
"You might want to tell them to suit up." Danny began as he flew "I'm brining the party to you."
They all saw Danny fly into view, and right behind him, was the giant Centipede Mutradi ship. They all noticed.
"I don't see how that's a party." Kim observed.
Danny flew closer to the ground with the centipede ship practically fly on it, just a few inches above the road. Danny flew right above the six and hovered, watching as the ship got closer.
Ben walked casually to the incoming ship.
Kim looked most shocked and walked up just a few inches. "Ben…?" She began
Ben turned back with a smile as he walked. "Hey, haven't you heard?" He asked as the ship got oh-so-close. "I'm Ben Ten."
Ben then transformed into Humungousaur. The massive alien deliver a strong punch directly the ship's front, stopping it in its tracks. The momentum caused the ship to topple over and the end coming down on the other teenagers.
"Hold On!" Danny exclaimed as he charged an Ecto-energy ball and threw it at the ship. It made contact and blew away half the ship.
Below Rex formed his block party with one hand and created a shield to protect everyone, while Ron shielded Kim from the blast with his MMP-charged body. The remains scattered everywhere.
Every Mutradi in the city took notice and roared at the group. The ones scaling the buildings slid down a bit and all snarled at them.
Humungousaur roared back, as the teenage heroes formed a circle together. Danny landed on Humungousaur's left, and the view began to rotate to his right. Zak cocked his alien gun, Rex formed his smack hands, Kim cracked her neck, Ron cracked his knuckles with his blue aura, Jake flexed his wings, and Danny's hands glowed with Ecto-energy.
As the roars could be heard throughout the city, more Mutradi forces poured out of the portal, along with a few more centipede ships.
Kim was the first to notice. "Guys…?"
"Anyone got a plan?" Ron asked
"I do." Danny awnsered. He only caught a glimpse of Rex's, Jake's, and Zak's abilities before, but he got a basic gist, and that was enough; plus he knew a bit about Ben, Kim, and Ron as well.
"Until we can close that portal, we have to keep these things contained inside the city." Danny began. "Otherwise, these things could run wild."
"You, Zak." Danny said pointing to him. "How good is your eye?"
"Real good." Zak replied.
"Alright, I want you on that roof." Danny instructed, gesturing to the roof behind him. "Eyes on everything, call out patterns and strays. Rex, you got the perimeter; anything gets more than three miles out, you turn it back or you turn it to ruble."
"Give me a lift?" Zak asked Rex
"Right." Rex answered. "Better clinch up cryptid-boy." Rex grabbed Zak and formed his boogie-pack, taking off.
"Jake." Danny continued. "You and I are gonna bottle-neck that portal, slow em down."
Jake nodded and took off.
"Kim, Ron." Danny commanded "You two keep all the ground troops occupied."
"Ben." Humungousaur turned to Danny. "Smash everything else."
Humungousaur smiled, he transformed into Jetray and flew straight up, blasting lasers everywhere.
