Note: first fanfic, will improve as I go along, I have been a gamemaster on my past RP site so the action should be good, and I do not own Ben 10 or anything that is remotely like Ben 10.

AUTHOR'S NOTE OF GLORY: Finals are coming up…ugh….

--

Four Arms' eyes snapped into focus again as he heard DCELR8 say the startling words.

"You?" he coughed, "No…that can't be…I saw XLR8's father die right before my eyes!"

"And yet I killed him…"

Four Arms shook his head rigorously and said, "No…you didn't kill him, a sea monster did. I saw the large tentacle pull him under water."

DCELR8 snickered and said, "My father and I actually caught that sea monster. We wanted to put the creature to good use…so we decided we would kill XLR8's father with it. My father knew that his stupid brother would save you…the prince…and his darling XLR8 from the creature. It was a simple plan that went exceedingly well. XLR8's father, DSEL, died and no one ever thought of the possibility of murder. Shortly before DSEL died, my father gave me the honor of releasing the cage that kept the monster in. I'll never forget the exuberant moment when I opened the iron doors and let the hungry creature set out for its intended prey. It is murder most sweet…"

Four Arms slowly closed his eyes. Without opening them, he slowly said, "…Why…?"

DCELR8's grip upon Four Arms' shoulder tightened and Four Arms begin to have trouble breathing. The blue lizard then said, "For my people. You four armed freaks always had complete control over the government with your tyrannical monarchy. My people never had any say in the government and were for many centuries treated unfairly and unequally. The highest rank my people could ever achieve was Head Royal Guardsman. And back then, the person who had that position was XLR8's father, DSEL. My father thought that his lowly brother was a traitor to his people and so…we killed him. With DSEL dead, my father took his place as Head Royal Guardsman. With my father at such a high position, we have since been planning to overthrow the Four Arms Monarchy. Slowly, we gathered support from my people, and we have grown in strength. The Grand Revolution is about to start…now all we need…is the catalyst…"

Four Arms was by now only half-heartily paying attention to what DCELR8 was saying. His mind was somewhere else, somewhere in the past…

It was because of DCELR8 that XLR8 is who she is right now. Before her father's death, XLR8 was a carefree child that had not one evil bone in her body. However, after her father's death she was kicked out of the royal palace. She was left out in the harsh wilderness.

She had to defend herself.

To grow strong.

To be mentally stable.

To be emotionless.

She had to fight to survive and she came out on top.

And with all this, she completely changed.

Rage filled Four Arms' heart. DCELR8 killed XLR8's father but he didn't care. All he wanted was to be glorified and to have an easy life. It was his choice that made XLR8's life a living hell. Adrenaline began to fill Four Arms' body as the rage grew stronger. He gritted his teeth and his eyes became mere slits. His hands gripped tightly and his breathing quickened.

"…and now…" finished DCELR8, "I'm going to kill you. And there'sss nothing you can do about it. My sssecret shall ssstill be sssafe once I finish you off."

DCELR8 snickered. Four Arms looked at him evilly. Then, using all his power to keep his voice calm, he said, "you're wrong…"

DCELR8 looked at him annoyingly and said, "what did you sssay?"

"I said…you're wrong. Even if you do kill me, everyone will soon learn about your evil deed. Because…"

At this point, Four Arms took one of his hands out of his pocket. He then opened his palm and revealed a cell phone on it. The cell phone was turned on and it was flashing "speakerphone."

"I had a hunch…" continued Four Arms who had a triumphant grin upon his face, "that you would say something worthwhile before you killed me. If I was to go, everyone would see what kind of person you are. However, never did I expect for you to say something so…juicy…"

DCELR8's mouth was hanging open, he was too shocked by what had just happened. He had been outgunned by Four Arms.

Four Arms pulled in his cell phone and said, "You got that Stinkfly?"

There was a garbled hiss before a voice replied, "Yeah…we got that…everyone here heard DCELR8's little story."

Four Arms dropped the phone to the ground and said, "It's over DCELR8. You lose."

Four Arms pulled back one of his arms and using all of his rage within him, he delivered a powerful blow to DCELR8's still shocked face. DCELR8 went flying through the cold, cold air. He slammed into a nearby boulder and cried out in pain.

Four Arms knew that this was not enough to finish DCELR8, he had to keep fighting him. Four Arms then got up from the ground but he cried out in pain and he quickly fell back down. He then remembered that DCELR8 slashed at his calf muscle and it was still bleeding profusely. He then knew that he had to get his first aid kit as soon as possible to deliver himself an injection. He looked around and he saw the kit lying on the ground nearby. He crawled to the kit and grabbed it with his big hands. Unclasping the hooks, he felt around the bag until he found a syringe and a small bottle that was for pain relieving. Knowing that he didn't have much time he unscrewed the lid and stuck the syringe in the bottle. Sucking up the life saving liquid, he took the syringe and stuck the needle right below his knee. He took the needle out and he put the lid back upon the needle. Almost instantly, the pain went away and he was able to stand upon his feet again.

But Four Arms knew instinctually that the liquid only stopped the pain. It did not stop the blood that was still coming out of his wound. He must end this fight now before something bad happens.

DCELR8 got back up and spat a tooth onto the ground, he then yelled out in a ferocious voice, "DAMN YOU TO THE NULL VOID!"

In a flash he zoomed towards Four Arms, Four Arms hunkered down and tried to lessen the blow but it was of no use. When DCELR8 kicked him, he still cried out in pain and he fell to the floor again. The pain in the stomach was so great that he laid there, quivering.

Up ahead, the stadium's announcer began to cry out the countdown, "1…2…3…"

While he was laying there, Four Arms suddenly remembered his training with Sensei Wildvine. Of course! He didn't go through all that hard training for nothing! Now was the time to put that training into good use.

Closing his eyes and clenching his teeth, Four Arms got back up. The countdown stopped and everyone in the stadium cheered wildly. As he stood there he began to take deep breaths. In order to win, he must clear his mind of all emotion. He must clear his mind of all love, hate and sorrow that had reside there.

--

Wildvine sat crosslegged with Four Arms and said to him, "Life…is a funny thing Four Arms. You must first realize this before you are ready for the true Zen of Prediction."
"The Zen of Prediction, Sensei?"

"It is the art of predicting life's turbulent energy. It is where one could sense the future movements of a particular organism. If one truly cleared their mind, they could sense and thus 'see' an organism's aura. This aura is different for every organism, it is sort of like a fingerprint. Do you see?"

"Yes, Sensei."

"Good. Now, in order to predict the future movements of an organism, one must sense the slight change in the organism's aura. It is this aura that you should be watching for. Now, explaining this is sort of difficult so I will do my best. Imagine you are standing next to a pond. You pick up a rock and you throw it in the pond. What happens?"

"The rock makes a splash?"

"And then…?"

Four Arms thought for a moment before saying, "It then makes ripples in the water."

"Good, now, taking this analogy, imagine that an organism is the rock and the ripples are its aura. If you stand quite near to the 'rock' you'll feel bigger 'ripples' than if you stood further away. The same goes for an organism, the closer the organism, the stronger the waves. Do you understand?"

"Not really Sensei…"

Wildvine smiled and said, "well, I never was a good teacher in the first place."

--

Four Arms took one last deep breath and swept away the remaining emotions. He never had successfully captured the Zen of Prediction. But now is the time that he must succeed. With his eyes closed, he soon felt something inside his chest. At first it was weak, but it grew stronger. The feeling felt like there was several sound waves going through him at once. Soon, he was able to 'see' a blurry image of the world…and then…

Instinctually, he quickly reached out with his lower left arm and grabbed DCELR8 who was about to deliver another powerful blow.

"WHAT THE?" cried DCELR8, "HOW THE HECK DID YOU CATCH ME?"

Four Arms opened his eyes and smiled, he then lifted DCELR8 by the chest and grabbed his metal leg. All the while, DCELR8 was squirming around and tried to break away from his powerful grip. Four Arms took DCELR8's metal leg and he crushed it with his bare hands.

He dropped DCELR8 onto the floor and began to walk away from him. DCELR8 tried to get back up, but with his leg gone, he couldn't. After a pitiful struggle, he fell back down. This fight was done.

Overhead, the announcer began to chant out the countdown, "1…2…3…4…5…6…"

"THISS FIGHT ISSS NOT OVER YET FOUR ARMSSS!"

XLR8 took out a dagger and threw it at Four Arms while his back was still turned towards him. However, Four Arms sensed this and he quickly turned around and he stopped the dagger with his bare hand. Throwing the dagger to the ground he said, "I see that you are not willing to quit so easily. I'm going to end this now."

He walked up to the quivering lizard and he grabbed his stripped tail.

"What…what are you doing?" stuttered DCELR8.

Four Arms smiled, "I always wanted to do this," he said.

He then lifted DCELR8 up in the air by the tail and he began to spin him around and around. Faster and faster he spun, all the while DCELR8 was screaming and screaming for him to stop but Four Arms kept going. Faster and faster he went until he yelled, "ON THE COUNT OF THREE! ONE….TWO…THREEEEE!"

He let go of DCELR8 and he zoomed through the air. He screamed a horrific scream and he rocketed across the entire arena. He zoomed over the arena boundaries and he slammed into the stadium wall. He groaned and he fell to the floor.

The audience cheered a humongous cheer and the announcer yelled over their voices, "DCELR8 HAS BEEN THROWN OUT OF THE ARENA! FOUR ARMS IS THE WINNER!"

The stadium's bell rang twice and Round Two was over.
