Me: Hey guys, we're back.
Rigby: About time.
Me: I'm sorry for the lack of updates, school's starting up for me, so I won't be able to update as quickly as I did before.
Mordecai: It's cool, we get it.
Muscleman: don't you have something else to say?
Me: Oh right. I've recently added profiles on all the Avengers on my deviantart page (Iron117Prime); in case you don't know who some of the Avengers are, now you're able to get a basic run down of them; if you want the specifics, either check out the wikias or watch the shows online.
Mordecai: Alright got it.
Grimlock: Enough talk! Me Grimlock want story!
Me: Then let's get started.
Ch. 9 It Looks Like it's Over (but it only looks that way)
Illana, Lance, and Octus have been battling the relentless onslaught of Mutradi in the mountain area for quite a few hours now; even with several G3 fighters aiding them; they're appeared to be no end of it.
Octus had zapped multiple fighters with his lightning bolts, destroying them. Once he finished them off, he noticed something.
"Lance! Illana!" Octus shouted through their comnlinks "The portal in Sherman. It's closed"
"What?!" Lance shouted back, via comns, as he sliced a fighter in half with his sword. "How's that possible?!"
"I don't know" Octus answered "But the portal has shut down."
"What about the city?" Illana asked via comns, with concern in her voice, while blasting lasers at anything that looked like it was made by Mutradi "What about the Mutradi that already made it through?"
"They're not there anymore." Solomon answered from back on the G3 station
"They just left?" Lance asked for clarification, as he continued his aerial battle
"According to our sensors, they all left in pursuit of the party they were fighting against, and the forces have all been neutralized" Solomon relayed, having witnesses all of it from the G3 station.
"But who were they fighting?" Illana asked "Who were…." She couldn't answer when her armor was blasted by multiple Mutradi blasts.
"ILLANA!" Lance shouted, as he witnessed the armored princess plummet to the mountain side.
She landed hard on a large, wide, Cliffside and struggled to get up. Lance immediately landed in front of her. "Are you alright?" Lance asked
"I'll live." Illana reassured "Armor took most of the impact." They both looked up at the incoming squad of Mutradi ships.
"Illana, stay behind me." Lance instructed.
"Lance, there's something I need to tell you." Illana began to confess, but before she could, many of the ships were engulfed in a sphere of green energy, which exploded.
"Did you do that?" Lance asked Illana
"No." Illana answered
The next thing they knew a white and green glowing figure descended in front of them; it was the alien form of Ben Tennyson, known as Atomix.
"Rest now you two." Atomix instructed. "My comrades and I shall take it from here." Atomix then flew off into the battle-field
"Who was that?" Illana wondered
"Maybe they might know." Lance responded, looking in the direction of a red humanoid, dragon-like creature, carrying an exhausted black haired young man.
Jake Long touched down on the Cliffside and set Danny down. "You two." Jake began. "Keep the bad guys away from him." Jake motioned to Danny, before flying off into the battle.
The sight of someone looking hurt immediately made Illana deactivate her armor, and run to check on him; Lance soon followed.
"Are you alright?" Illana asked Danny.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Danny answered "Just a little tired."
"Who are you?" Lance questioned, in a way a little close to interrogating.
"I'm a friend, I'll give you the details later." Danny responded.
"And you're friends?" Illana queried
"Don't worry, were on your side." Danny responded.
"Alright then." Lance began "Illana, stay with him, I gotta get back out there." Illana was about to stop him, but Danny beat him to it.
"Dude, don't worry about it." He told Lance.
"'Don't worry'?!" Lance demanded, Illana looked confused at Danny as well. "There are hundreds of Mutradi out there!"
"Hey, trust me." Danny assured with a knowing smile. "Just sit back, and watch the show." He said as he moved into a reclining-like position on a rock.
Octus was flying parallel to a Mutradi centipede ship. He was about to blast it when he noticed a teenager in a red jacket just standing on top of it. Octus flew and landed on the moving ship right behind the young man.
"What are you doing up here?!" Octus demanded "It's dangerous!"
Rex turned around to the robot, with a smile. "Yeah, for them!" He then placed his hand on the haul of the ship. Blue lines spread from his hand to the ship's haul in a grid like pattern, and soon, the whole ship stopped working all together. Rex formed his Sky-Slider and took off with Octus before the ship fell and crashed below.
"How did you…?" Octus queried
"I'll explain." Rex interrupted "After, we take down these chumps." Rex formed his BFS in one hand, and a Funchuck in the other, before flying off towards an incoming fighter squad, with Octus trailing behind.
Kim and Zak stood back-to-back on a mountain-top, having been dropped off by Ben a few minutes ago, and were surrounded by a squad of Mutradi soldiers, but neither of them were worried.
"Think you can handle this?" Zak cracked, Claw at the ready.
"I don't know." Kim began, with a cocked smile. A Mutradi soldier jumped toward her, only for Kim to drop to her back, and catch the alien with her feet, and vault him off the mountain completely, with her battle-suit's strength "What do you think?" She cracked back.
"Kim, I like your style." Zak responded, as he extended his claw, and the weapon became a staff.
The aliens charged in. Kim punched and kicked all the Mutradi that came her way. She had time to rest since her battle in Sherman, and with her battle-suit's powers, she was more than a match for these monsters.
Zak didn't have any special suit, but he wielded his claw like a master martial artist would wield a staff. He swung and bashed all the incoming soldiers. The claw end did cut through the creatures' thick hides, and he managed to bash several off the cliff.
Ron used his MMP powers to jump high enough to slam into an incoming fighter. His blue, mystic aura protected him as he destroyed the fighter. He landed on a mountain side and used his powers to tear off two large rocks from the mountain in each hand. He threw them at two oncoming fighters, and destroyed them.
"Hey, buddy." Ron called to Rufus, "Oh are you holding up in there."
Rufus' head stuck out of his jacket's pocket. He was quite dizzy, and his face was a tad green. He gave a weak thumbs up though.
Ron was able to breathe a sigh of relief. "Just don't puke in there, this is a nice jacket." Ron joked.
Ron then jumped from the mountain-side to continue the fight.
Jake flew into a squad of fighters. He let loose a torrent of flame all around him. The flames were hot enough to critically damage the fighters. The ships lost control and fell to the ground.
Jake smiled as he watched the alien vessels fall, but lasers shot past him, getting his attention. He turned around to see more fighters heading his way.
He was about to fly in, but Atomix flew in-front of him. Atomix then began to chant. "Homina. Homina. Homina!" As he chanted a green energy ball formed in his hands. He threw it at the squad. The ball exploded and destroyed all the fighters.
"Show off." Jake cracked
"Comrade Jake." Atomix began "This is no time to gloat, but the time to act." He declared as he flew off.
Jake was a tad confused at his allies change in dialect, must have been due to the form he was in "I'm not even gonna ask."
Two G3 fighters had at least six Mutradi fighters chasing them, firing lasers.
"I can't shake them!" One of the pilots stated.
As the Mutradi flew in closer, a figure flew in close to the Mutradi ships, it sliced and bashed them all away with its weapons.
"Good shooting." The second pilot congratulated
"Wha… it… it wasn't me." The first pilot responded.
The figure flew next to them, it was Rex on his Sky-Slider. "You guys might wanna pull outta here." Rex warned, before he flew off.
"Who was that?" The second pilot asked.
"All pilots disengage!" Solomon commanded "Repeat, all pilots disengage!"
"Sir?" the first pilot asked
"Trust me" Solomon responded "you would only get in the way"
With that, all the remaining G3 fighters flew away.
Down underground. The three large spheres that came through the rift gate portal above Sherman still remain untouched and unmoved. Soon however, the spheres began to crack, almost like, hatching eggs.
Octus had set down on where Lance and Illana where standing on the large and tall Cliffside. They knew he had set down, but couldn't take their eyes off what was in front of them.
"Are you guys seeing this?" Octus asked, hopping his sight wasn't malfunctioning.
"Seeing it." Illana confirmed
"But having a hard time believing it." Lance added
The three were amazed and shocked at the sight of these strange powered beings, and some appeared to be only teenagers, laying waste to a small army of Mutradi.
The three then heard sliding sounds behind them. They turned to see Kim and Zak sliding down the cliff and landing next to Danny, who had just got back up on his feet, still a tad wobbly.
"Danny, you okay?" Kim asked
"Yeah. I'm good." Danny responded
"Um, who are those guys?" Zak questioned, as the two looked to the princess, corporal, and alien robot who were just starring at them
"Why don't we ask when everyone's done?" Danny said "That way we won't have to hear it twice."
Rex, Ron (riding on Rex's Sky-Slider), Atomix, Jake flew back-to-back as at least a dozen fighters, and two centipede ships circled them. The Mutradi appeared to have an advantage, but it only appeared that way.
"Comrade Rex!" Atomix commanded "Shield the others!"
Rex nodded and formed his block-party and a shield formed around him, Ron, and Jake. Atomix then smacked the shield, sending it toward the mountain top and away from the Mutradi.
When Atomix was certain his friends were far enough away he began to chant, this time a little slower, as the ships began to close in on him. "Homina. Homina. Homina!" he chanted as he circled his arms and his entire body glow with green energy. "Nuclear Winner!" Atomix shouted as an entire green explosion erupted, engulfing and destroying all the ships, centipedes included. That was the last of them.
The four then flew toward the Cliffside where the others were. Illana, Lance, and Octus watched as they landed. Atomix flashed green briefly before changing back into Ben Tennyson; the dragon was engulfed in a brief flame before turning back into Jake Long; Ron dropped his blue aura; and Rex withdrew his machines.
The ten teenagers (if you count Octus) stood there.
"Who or what are all of you?" Lance questioned, breaking the silence.
"We were about to ask you guys the same thing." Danny answered
Before anyone else could say anything, the ground began to rumble in a massive tremor.
"Whoa!" Ben exclaimed "Anyone else feeling that?" he asked as the ground continued to shake.
"It's hard not to." Kim responded
Underground was shaking the hardest, because one of the spheres was vibrating at an intense rate until finally, it exploded.
An explosion in front of the mountain could be seen. The ten of them looked at the massive spew of earth and smoke blast in-front of them. As the smoke cleared, a massive figure, almost as tall as the mountain could be seen. Once the smoke and dust-cloud was gone, all ten of them could see it. It was a Mutradi Mega Beast (the same one seen in the finale of "Sym-Bionic Titan"; google "Mutradi Tri beast"). It roared to the heavens.
"Oh great!" rex commented "Now they come in Super-Size!"
"Octus!" Lance and Illana both shouted as they reactivated their armor.
Octus knew what they were thinking. "Initiating Sym-Bionic Titan!" Octus said as his whole body expanded to a massive size. The two armors were swallowed up. There was a bright flash of light, causing the seven teenagers to cover their eyes.
Within the flash, inside Octus' expanded body, one could see Lance and Illana emerging from their armors. The empty armors opened and merged together, along with Octus' circuits. New technology sprang to life inside the body as it began to take form. Lance and Illana moved upward, their bodies in a "T-shaped" position. Small, yellow, electric arcs formed around each of them, and Octus' main component.
When the flash subsided. They all looked wide eyed at what appeared in front of them. The giant, robot know as Titan.
"Whoa." Zak breathed.
"You said it." Danny commented
Jake's and Kim's mouths dropped instantly
"That is… the coolest… thing…. I have ever seen." Ron commented, Rufus nodding in agreement.
Ben and Rex had wide eyes, but they're reactions weren't too surprising.
"You gotta admit Rex; that looks pretty cool." Ben said.
"Yeah, but we've seen things as cool as that." Rex commented
"Depends on what you've seen." Ben added.
Within Titan, Lance's and Illana's heads appeared in a hologram as they communicated with Octus.
"We can ask questions about them later." Illana said. "Right now we have to take care of this"
"Right, let's do it." Lance agreed.
The Mega-beast roared as it ran towards Titan; Titan ran towards the alien as well. When they both met, they immediately begun trading blows. The Mega-beast tried clawing at Titan; only for Titan to block the attacks and deliver punches to the monster's upper body, which it could not block.
Titan grabbed the Mega-beast's head and delivered a knee to the face twice. Titan then kicked the Mega-beast some distance away.
The alien landed on its back, only for Titan to pin it down and deliver multiple punches to the face.
The remaining teenagers looked at the Godzilla-sized brawl happening in front of they're eyes.
"I think they got this." Rex said.
"Looks that way." Kim added
"Yeah, but it only looks that way." Danny said
"What do you mean? Are you seeing that thing?!" Jake questioned
"Danny's right." Ben said, earing bewildered stairs from everyone but Danny. "That monster's going down to easy."
"Yeah" Danny agreed "This is still far from over."
"Do you always have this kind of out-look on things?" Ron asked "Just enjoy the booya-moment Danny." Right as he said that the ground shook violently again.
"What is that?!" Zak exclaimed. A few seconds later, the ground exploded again, and another Mutradi Mega-Beast appeared, it looked exactly like the one that just showed up.
"I hate it when I'm right." Danny said.
Titan continued to punch away at the Mega-beast it had pinned down. Titan readied its fist for another punch, only for it to be caught. Titan turned to the second Mega-beast as it grabbed the mech's head with its other claw, lift it with surprisingly great strength, and throw Titan some distance away.
"Where did THAT one come from?!" Lance demanded
"We never saw any Mega-beast come from the Rift-Gate!" Illana remembered.
"Those objects we saw." Octus recalled
"The one's you couldn't scan?" Illana asked
"Yes." Octus answered "They must have been stasis pods or something that kept the Mega-beasts in stasis, and would activate should their soldiers fall"
"Know anything that could HELP us?" Lance questioned
"Not yet" Octus relayed
Titan tried to get up, only for both Mega-beats to jump on it, and pin it to the ground with they're massive feet. The aliens then began to pound away at Titan with their fists and claws.
Titan tried to get up, but the relentless onslaught from the Mega-beasts kept it pinned down.
The teenagers watch the scene unfold in front of them, and were not liking it.
Ben had enough of just sitting and watching. "Right. That's it." He declared as he ran and jumped off the cliff-side.
"BEN!" Zak shouted.
As Ben fell he slammed on his Omnitrix, and was engulfed in another bright green flash.
The Mutradi kept up their flails of punches and claws.
"If they keep this up, they'll break through our armor soon." Octus observed
"We can't stop them!" Illana exclaimed.
As one mega-beast was about to slam both its fists onto Titan; it felt a finger tap its shoulder. The creature turned and saw a giant fist gunned for its face. The force of the punch sent the creature away quite a distance.
The second Mega-beast was grabbed by its legs. It was spun around until it was finally let go and sent flying.
Titan looked up and saw a hand outstretched, offering Titan help at getting up. The hand was from Ben's largest alien form, Waybig.
"Need a hand?" Waybig asked.
Titan took Waybig's hand and was helped to its feet. The two giants were of equal-size.
"What is that?" Lance asked
"It's definitely NOT a Mutradi" Octus observed
"Guys" Illana began "It has that same hour-glass symbol as that one with the green watch"
"You mean that one that turned into that creature?" Lance asked for clarification
"Yes." Illana answered, "Looks like he's on our side."
The two Mutradi quickly got up and roared. On got up far from behind Titan, and the other far from behind Waybig. This got both the giant's attentions.
"You take that one." Waybig instructed pointing to the Mega-beast behind Titan. "I got this one." Pointing to the one behind himself. Titan nodded. They both turned back-to-back and charged at the incoming Mega-beasts.
"Okay." Jake began, as the six remaining teens watch the battle. "Is there anything he can't turn into?"
"Not that I know of." Rex said.
"What can you expect?" Zak began "He's Ben 10."
Once again, the ground shook violently.
"Okay, now what?!" Kim exclaimed
As she said that, a third Mega-beast burst from the ground roaring.
Danny and Jake quickly transformed into their Ghost and Dragon forms, Ron fired up his Mystic Aura, and Rex formed his Boogie Pack.
"Aw crap." Ron commented.
The creature raised both its fists at the group of teen heroes
"MOVE!" Danny shouted sensing the creature's intentions. Ron grabbed Kim bridal style and jumped, Rex grabbed Zak by the shoulders and flew off with Danny and Jake. They just barely avoided the monster's smashing attack.
They flew, or in Ron's case, jumped, away; with the Mega-beast pursuing them.
Waybig raised his fists at the Mutradi "You are in big trouble; WAY big!" he warned, making a gesture to bring it on.
The Mega-beast complied by charging. Waybig fell to the ground as the creature swung at his face. Waybig vaulted the Mega-beast with his feet over multiple hundred feet away, the monster landing on its back. Waybig quickly got up and ran towards his foe. He jumped and delivered an axe-kick onto the alien's face. Making a large crater with the Mega-beast's head.
"Oh Yeah!" Waybig shouted in joy.
The monster raises its head, opened its mouth, and a large blue laser blasted from its mouth and hit wide-eyed Waybig directly in the chest, sending him flying.
Waybig struggling, got back up on his feet and saw the Mega-beast already on its feet and roaring.
"Okay then." Waybig began "Time for round two" he said as he cracked his knuckles.
Titan was duking it out with the same creature it had fought just before. Blows were traded continuously from the other opponent; neither willing to give up.
Titan delivered a massive kick to the leg, a large popping sound was heard, with the creature screaming in pain. Only for Titan to deliver a round-house kick to the alien's face.
Despite that the alien got back up, it let loose its own blue laser from its mouth. Titan activated its shield and quickly blocked it.
"This thing's resilient." Lance observed "I'll give it that"
"It has to have some weakness" Illana suggested.
"The creature's hide isn't entirely impenetrable" Octus began "Enough pressure should cause it to break"
"Got it" Lance said.
With that, titan quickly wrapped its arms around the monsters waist and begun squeezing. With the Mega-beast screeching and moaning in pain.
The third Mega-beast pounded away at the Mountains in an effort to squish the tiny humans trying to escape it.
Danny blasted ecto-beams; Jake shot fire balls; and Rex shot with his Slam-Cannon; but no attack could penetrate the massive Mutradi's outer armor.
"Guys we can't get through that armor!" Kim shouted as Ron continued to jump and carry her.
"I think I got an idea, just keep it busy out here." Danny instructed
"'Out here'?" Rex asked "What are you…" He got where Danny was going. "Wait. You're not gonna…?"
It was too late, Danny flew straight for the monster. He went intangible and flew inside.
Danny turned back to tangible and looked at the gross sight and saw all the Mega-beast's innards.
"Alright, let's see how much damage I can do." Danny said, his hands glowing with ecto-energy.
Waybig was grappling with his Mega-beast. Both appeared to be equal in strength, but soon Waybig's strength began to fade and he slowly lowered, as the Mutradi slowly pushed him closer to the ground.
Having enough, Waybig decided to play dirty and deliver a kick to the crotch area of the Mega-beast. To his surprise, nothing happened.
"Heh. That usually works." Waybig observed.
The Mega-beast grabbed Waybig and lifted him up. The monster threw Waybig into a mountain.
Waybig slowly got up, and looked to see the monster, once again, open its mouth, a blue glow forming.
The Mega-beast then shot another large blue beam at Waybig. Not enough time to gasp, Waybig crossed his arms in an x-formation right as the beam made contact. Green sparks could be seen from where the beam impacted Waybig's X. A green beam then appeared from the X slowly pushing the Mutradi's blue beam back.
Waybig got back up on his feet, and the two were locked into another stand-off.
Titan continued to squeeze it's Mutradi around the waist, in attempt to crush it. The monster kept pounding away trying to pound Titan of it, but it had no effect.
"How… much… more?" Lance struggled
"Were almost there!" Illana answered
"Just need to increase the pressure" Octus observed
Titan squeezed harder and harder. It squeezed hard enough for the Mega-beast to stop pounding and screech in pain.
Finally, Titan snapped the massive monster in half. Purple slime from the monster's innards spewed everywhere. The two halves fell to the ground. No question, the monster was dead.
Titan, covered a bit in purple goo, turned to the sound of energy intensifying behind it, to see the stand-off continuing.
Waybig's green beam was still locked with the Mutradi's blue beam. Finally having enough, Waybig poured everything he had into this blast.
The green beam grew in both size and strength as it pushed the blue beam back. The blast point (where the beams met) quickly made its way to the origin, the Mutradi's mouth. When it reached it, the Mega-beast's whole head exploded.
The headless corpse stood for a second before falling backwards to the ground. The audibly breathing Waybig turned to the purple-goo covered Titan just staring at him.
"Hey… at least… I'm… not covered… in that." Waybig stuttered, with a joking smile.
The two giants turned to the sound of roaring, and witnessed the third Mega-beast pound away the mountain.
"Guess we missed one." Waybig observed; the two then went straight for the monster.
Kim, Ron, Rex, Jake, and Zak were able to avoid all the Mega-beast's attacks. Though just avoiding them was exhausting. They won't be able to keep all this up for long.
"We can't keep dodging like this!" Zak commented, holding onto Rex as the EVO flew on his boogie-pack.
"You got a better idea?" Rex asked.
"How long can we keep this up?!" Kim exclaimed, as Ron continued to jump and carry her.
"Not for very long." Ron answered with a smile; Kim looked and saw Waybig and Titan running toward the monster, she too smiled.
"About time." Jake complained, though he was greatly relieved.
Titan and Waybig were about to close in on the creature, which to everyone's surprise, began to double over in great pain. The monster shrieked, and screamed as it fell to the ground and struggled.
From within the creature, Danny shot ecto-beams in every direction. He blasted every Mutradi organ he saw. He refused to let up on the onslaught.
Danny blasted, punched, froze, and shattered everything his eyes made contact with, until finally, Danny blasted through a wall of flesh.
Danny saw it; it was a strange-looking organ, but it beat at a steady pace, no doubt about it, it was the heart.
"Watch out." Danny said "You're about to get a heart attack." He observed as he cracked his knuckles.
The Mutradi stood up and screeched to the heavens. Everyone saw the chest cave in greatly. Purple slime poured out of the Mega-beast's mouth like a water fall. The creature then fell backwards and died.
Waybig turned back into Ben; Titan had reformed back to Illana, Octus, and Lance. When the four were at ground-level, they ran to the carcass.
Ron jumped down off the mountain and landed on the ground with Kim and set her down; Rex landed with Zak and withdrew his boogie-pack; Jake landed and transformed from dragon to human; the five ran to the body.
When they all met up at the chest area of the dead creature, they looked in bewilderment. Though Kim, Rex, Jake, Zak, and Ron, even Rufus, had a look of worry.
Soon a white-gloved hand punched through and tore a hole through the body, leading outside. The hole had purple-slime spew all over the ground. The nine took several steps back. Danny Phantom walked out of the hole, soaked in the gross fluid.
"That…" Danny began "…was disgusting."
Me: Done
Mordecai: Nice dude!
Rigby: Yeah, that was so AWESOME!
Muscleman: Come on, man! Don't stop there!
Me: Sorry, but the next event is large and will need its own chapter
