The crowd parted, oddly calm as Fusion Dexter came striding through.
"They finally turned on you, even your bonded, and too bad you didn't take up my offer to change him. You could've had a mate again."
Everyone paled at this comment, but Dexter looked positively ghastly when his fusion shot him a pointed look. He walked straight up to the redhead and pointed his wrench at the human's neck. Dexter shot Jaden a look that clearly said "You have got to tell me about this later." And the blonde nodded. Jaden and her twin stood, her chained and him free, and they stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity,
But before anyone could move an inch, Dexter's fusion walked straight up to his sister and kissed her, hard.
And when he was done all she could say was "What the hell?"
Darkness, just darkness. But then, as before, a bright light and Dexter, Ben, and Jaden were in the same white space, just as before, but now another person followed them, what seemed like a scaly faun and horns and vampire teeth. Ben nervously fiddled with the Omnitrix, wondering why it wasn't working. "It won't work here for the same reason he can't kill us here. Dexter, Ben, meet my twin brother." And now all the boys could say is "What the hell?"
"'What the hell?' is right Ben. That's what I used to look like." Ben's jaw drops and comically reaches the floor, and Dexter doesn't even look shocked as if already knew that.
"Jaden, after all of this" he stated waving one hand to gesture around the three teens, "is done, we'll want answers."
"And answers you'll get. But first I have higher powers to report to."
She turned around to four figures, three reaching inhuman heights. "Boys, meet from left to right, Life, Time, Fate and I'm sure you know the last one." She smirked slightly as she gestured towards the shortest figure, a familiar black cloaked figure. "Death. No that does not mean I answer to Mandy." Dexter's jaw was left hanging; Mandy didn't know how much power she had. "Close ya mouth child, you'll be catchin' flies." Jaden and Grim shared a laugh and abruptly Life silenced them. It seemed to be to one in control, as it held a silver scepter topped with a glowing purple stone.
"It seems that this planet's inhabitants seem extremely impeccable and naïve, but extremely efficient with killing themselves and their home."
Jaden opened her mouth to interrupt, but Ben beat her to it.
"That's not all of us-" He cut off, and with good reason too. Life's amethyst wand was dangerous close to his neck.
"Ben, what is it with you and putting your foot in your mouth?" The alien girl's eyes flashed and Ben found himself without a voice. Jaden's mouth moved soundlessly, but her eyes spoke of volumes of fear. After Jaden quickly started talking again, Dexter found himself understanding what she said, as did Ben.
"Please, these are a harmless and ignorant people, planetary toddlers, and they should be given a chance to grow and develop just as their people have." She stated passionately, gesturing to her brother, who still looked pretty pissed. If the four figures had had eyebrows, they would've raised them, Grim looked slightly proud.
Suddenly, her twin lunged toward her, faster than the human eye could see; she pulled out a dagger and pressed it against his neck.
"I see you haven't dulled a bit sister." He spat out, in that same alien tongue that was and wasn't English.
"But you have, brother." She had a sarcastic tone, sounding dangerous and playful simultaneously. He lunged again, and she parried in return. He using his claws, her fighting with her dagger, they fought. It wasn't slow or dramatic, but it was epic in all senses of the word. They moved faster than either human could see, but the four powers-that-be watched the combat as one would watch a tennis game, back and forth.
And as suddenly as it began, it ended, and Ben, Dexter, and Jaden were back on the podium, but something had changed, as it was all in ruins….
