The warm summer sun glinted through the clouds above the sea. Its rays lighting the dark azure waters below, shimmering and dancing on the surface.
A winged armor figure then streaked across the sky, his wingblades glowing a golden light. His wingblades increased in light as he then shot up towards the heavens, the light illuminating him. He angled his wing blades so he once he was three thousand feet in the air, he began to free fall. He shouted a whoop of excitement as the earth's gravity began to drag him back the surface of the ocean.
He then began to spin, like a fighter jet in battle, pinning his wingblades against his back so they were flat. The air rushed past him like a howling storm, his armor rattling a bit due to the sheer force of the wind he was generating from his free fall.
Once the clouds vanished from his vision, the ocean was a mere five feet away as at the last possible minute, he sprung his wingblades to full length as he spiraled back into the heavens.
"This is awesome!" Ben shouted. It was a much different feeling than being in his alien forms when flying like this.
When he retreated back into the clouds, he suddenly saw the clouds surrounding him become darker. Startled, he looked up and gasped in shock.
It was an armored figure, it's armor similar to his, but with one major different. Instead of wing blades, this figure had true wings that were a staggering forty eight feet in total length and were eagle-like in shape and golden in color, but they had a dragon-like structure with bat-like membranes. He was adorned with golden markings that resembled Nordic runes the Vikings used, making him look even more graceful. His armored helm resembled a dirt biker's helmet, with a blue colored visor that cloaked his eyes. He was very strong and muscular in build, and if he was standing on his feet, he would have been around seven feet tall.
The armored figure then dove towards the clouds below him, as Ben swiftly followed, curious and wanting to know who he was. The figure tilted his wings so he was flying right alongside Ben, wings just barely touching.
Then Ben and this mysterious figure dove together through the clouds, like race horses on the dirt track. Ben felt relaxed around this mysterious figure, the aura coming off of him was kind and peaceful, but also strong and protective.
"Who are you?" Ben said to the figure, but he didn't get a response. The figure just merely looked over his shoulder at Ben before with a swift turn of his wings he flew inland and began to head towards Dragonspiral Tower with Ben following behind him.
The ruined tower then came into view as the mysterious being landed on the edge of a cliff, and Ben landed next to him and extended his wings before folding them against his back, draping around him like a cloak.
Under his armor, Ben's mouth was hanging open in shock at the devastation around him. The tower had been reduced to rubble and debris from the once mighty tower he had often dreamt of as a young boy.
"What happened here…" Ben asked the figure who brought him here, who opened his wings again and flew off the cliff and down towards the ruined tower, and Ben followed suit.

The armored being suddenly became tense, as Ben picked up a dark and foreboding aura nearby.
Another armored figure then slowly emerged from the nearby woods, with an opposite armor coloration and look.
" You two came here to investigate why Dragonspiral Tower is gone, did you? Well…" the dark armored figure chuckled menacingly' "You're looking at its destroy right…HERE!" Albedo shouted with a bloodcurdling roar as daggers of darkness surrounded him, and he fired them at Ben and the Armored being.
The two of them dodged the daggers, Ben grimaced as one grazed across his shoulder. "ALBEDO!" Ben roared back at his foe, recognizing Albedo's voice, as he began to charge up an attack.
The Armord figure next to Ben also began to charge up an attack. The Nordic runes on his body began to glow as a white light surrounded him, before firing countless shards of light from his body.
Albedo snarled in pain as several shards struck him, he tried to move but Ben launched his Charge Beam attack, concentrated bundles of electricity firing from between Ben's hands, knocking Abledo down.
Albedo yelled out in pain as he stunned by the electrical attack, falling to the ground. He glowered at his archenemy before spreading his wings and taking off into the air as he fired his Hyper Voice attack, roaring terribly loud as Ben quickly covered his ears and yelled out in pain. The noise was deafening as the Armored figure then shielded Ben with his wings, grimacing in pain under his helmet armor, taking the brunt of the attack.
Albedo stopped his attack and was surprised by the Armored figure protecting Ben, which was a big mistake as the Armored figure used Albedo's surprise to his advantage. Getting into a fighting stance, he focused all his mental power, the Nordic runes glowing once again as he shouted out a battle cry and spread his wings. With a powerful mid-air roundhouse kick, the Armored figure sent Albedo crashing from the sky before landing with a hard thud.
" I'll admit Benjamin, you never fail to surprise me." Albedo grunted as he stood up, his legs and arms shaking slightly from exhaustion. Ben, like his opponent, was exhausted and tired from the fight. He staggered a bit to his feet, groaning in pain as the Armored figure caught before he fell. A nasty, jagged wound caused by one of Albedo's dark matter daggers was eating away at his armor.
Albedo smirked at his handy work, seeing Ben would be out for a while, as he then slashed his claws across empty air, just a portal opened up and Albedo leaped through it and to safety for himself.
As the chaotic battled died down, the Armored figure saw The Doctor and Rose emerge from their hiding spot, which was behind some stone from the Tower. "What the hell is going on?" Rose asked The Doctor, who ignored her and walked up to the Armored figure. The Armored figure looked down at The Doctor and nodded a bit before speaking in a deep baritone voice " Get him back to Plumber HQ, and stay with him until he needs me again." The Doctor nodded before gently helping Ben's right arm over his shoulders. " Your in good hands…Benjamin…" The Armored figure said softly to the Ultimatrix wielder, catching him by surprise.
Ben snapped his head up in surprise, looking up at the Armored figure. " How do you know-" The Armored figure chuckled a bit, and Ben could pick up amusement coming off of him " We shall cross paths one day. And I look forward to our future encounters." And with that cryptic message, he took off into the heavens with a powerful flap of his wings before fading from sight as clouds engulfed him.
"Isn't that a beautiful sight?" The Doctor said with awe as he watched the Armored figure fly away into the horizion. Ben looked up at The Doctor, before growling in pain as his wound got worse. The Doctor was snapped out of his thoughts as he then said with a bit too cherry voice " Alright young lad, lets get you patched up and back to fighting evil!"
