Plumber between Ninjas, chapter 3º: The end of the beginning
The five heroes are in the Kraang's stealth ship, trying to regain control over it, but the controls are completely destroyed, there is nothing that can be done
Useless-
"You became the ship itself!" Ben, still as Big Chill reasoned "Time to call an old friend" He thought, ready to change alien, but he didn't notice a pink ball running towards him. When it was a few feet away from him, revealing that it was one of the Kraang, it jumped and bit his arm. Its sharp teeth couldn't cut through his hardened skin, but it distracted him long enough for the second Kraang to jump on his face, then the two aliens started to try to hurt him as much as possible, which worried the turtles, who tried to get them out of him
But in their hurry to help, they didn't notice the gorilla getting closer to them
"Let go, your–" Donna started but was interrupted when Ben\Big Chill turned intangible , making the Kraangs fall "Oh, right, forget you could do this…" she laughed nervously, but her eyes widened as she see the robot just a few feet away
"Behind you!" She warmed as she pushed Ben out of the robot's way, then she jumped forward and hit the Kraang on top of the robot with her staff, successfully knocking it out of the controls
Unfortunately, she didn't have the time to aim where she launched the little brain, and unlucky, its destination was the…
Mutagen cargo!
"No!" The heroes screamed as the mutagen got loose from their seals and went directly to the ship's under door!
Time seemed to slow down as the mutagen rolled to the hole in the ship, everything seemed to slow down as Donna and Ben ran towards the mutagen, trying to catch one sample
At least one!
But they all failed into the hole, spreading over the city
All that mutagen… spread over the entire New York City…
"All that mutagen, and you couldn't catch a single one?!" Raph screamed at the rest of heroes
"Well, you didn't catch one either, Raph!" Donna returned, but before a discussion could take place, an explosion was heard! Everyone looked to the source, only to see what was left of the control screen be sent flying and the ship started to flying randomly, the turtles were trying to hold their place, but they can't hold for too long
"PLEASE, MAKE IT STOP!" Miky begged, with a not so healthy green on her face
But her pleads were heard, cause, out of the blue, a green flash of light emerged for a second, then the ship was being covered by a black substance with green circuit like stripes, whatever it was, it made the ship stabilize
"What…?" Leona started, but she jumped while screaming as a part of the black and green substance raised itself in front of her with a green circle that seemed to be looking at them
"Everyone's okay?" It asked with its 'eye' shining when it talks, as the frightened turtle landed in Raph's arm
"… Ben?" Leona, still in Raph's arms, asked, but she quickly got to her feet as Raph looked at her with murderer intentions
"Yep!" It answered "I call this one-"
"UPGRADE!" Miky interfered, excited about getting to know another alien of Ben
"That's right!" Ben turned Upgrade confirmed, not seeming to care about being interrupted "Now, please, keep your hands, feet, shell and weapons inside the ship! And thanks for flying with the Upgrade aerial lines. Have a good night" After the joke, to which Miky is laughing her shell off, it got back into the floor and moved its 'eye' to where was the controls, the stealth program is now the located of the Ultimatrix symbol
"Please, set a destination"
"Please, take us to-" Leona started the request, but
"THE ROY'S PIZZA!" Miky plead\begged to Ben while at the same time interrupted Leona, but she only got a smack on the head for that, courtesy of Raph
"Now, as I was saying-""What is that?!" Ben asked, interrupting Leona, who was getting frustrated, but she, like her sisters, could only gasp as Ben\Upgrade showed them an image on the screen
It looked like an ugly giant bat was about to attack April!
"Get us there!"
"On it!" The ship turned left, going directly to the bat, until they were flying upon the same building of the bat and April. The turtles jumped of the ship using the hole and landed perfectly on the roof, so now they could see that the black and green let go off the ship, it had a black exterior with green stripes and a green torso with black stripes with the Ultimatrix symbol on the middle of its chest. After he fully let go of the ship and landed at the same roof as the turtles, the Kraang ship disappeared in thin air. He fixed the ship, but where is it going to?
"No time for it, gotta save April" Donna reasoned, and they all attacked the bat, but before they could land a hit on it, April, the very same person they wanted to save, shouted
"No! Don't hurt him!" They all stopped in mid air and a question mark appeared on top of their head just before the bat flied past them, catching April in the process
"April!" The turtles screamed, but the bat monster was already far away
"ARGH! Can this night get any worse?!" Raph asked and, like the universe heard her…
"Girls… and Ben, I think that mutant was Mr. O'Neil" Leona told them, while looking at a broken mutagen sample
"How can you tell?" Miky asked
"Who else was here with her?" She returned
"We've gotta go after her!" Donna stated
"But what about all that mutagen?" Raph asked
"They are spread all over the city" Ben\Upgrade informed "It'll have to wait" Then a beeping sound was heard
"It's the same sound as the one back in the sewers…" The turtles girls thought while searching for the source of the sound
It was coming from the Ultimatrix symbol on Ben\Upgrade's chest "Time to change back" He said as a flash of green light erupted, blinding the turtles for a second. When it was over, Ben Tennyson stood there "Guess I'll have to wait too" He said, referring to his gauntlet
"Why did you turn back to normal? That Upgrade can be useful" Donna asked
"I didn't, the Ultimatrix has a time limit on it" He explained
"Interesting…" Donna trailed off, but Raph interrupted her
"No time for an alien tech class! Let's go!"
"You're right" Leona agreed "Ben, when your watch recharge itself, go home, we can take it from here" She ordered
"No, I want to help!" Ben, returned, which got him a hatefull look from Raph
"And why should we let you help us?" Raph asked, a dark tone in her voice
Ben just looked at her with a regretful and painful look
"It's about the invasion, isn't it?" He asked, but his tone said it was a statement, and by the surprised look on Raph's face, his statement was right "You're angry at me because I didn't help you, neither the plumbers, right?" He continued, receiving a nod from the red masked turtle "I just knew it might be useful, so, here" He finished before taking a plumber badge from his pocket, the he touched the symbol and a hologram image of the world popped, it had China, Mexico, Brazil and Japan marked with a 'X' . The girls didn't understand the meaning of it, so they nodded, telling Ben to continue
"It is the world's security systems created by the Plumbers. What you are seeing now is the data from the day of the invasion, the 'X's on it are the places where alleged invasions were happening, but in the end it was nothing but a false alarm, it was only then that we found out it was a distraction, but, fortunately, the invasion was already taken care of by you" He turned off the badge "So, for that, I thank you" He said, smiling at the girls, making they blush a little, but they didn't say a thing "Look, I'm sorry for not helping when I should have, but the Plumbers were deceived. We were everywhere but here, so that's why I grateful for you saving the world" He finished, now waiting for their answer
"We… will discuss this later, for now, let's save April" Leona said, already taking her leave, Raph following her, but before she gave Ben a doubtful look. Donna and Miky stood in front of the hero
"Where… what did you do to the ship?" Donna asked, curious spread all over her face
"Upgrade, as the name says, can upgrade, control or modify tech. All I did was fix it, command it to turn invisible and land on the docks" He told her, surprising her instantly
"Amazing…"
"Your name is 'Donna', right?" Ben asked
"To be truthful, it's Donatella, but everyone call me Donna" She explained
"Well, first, pleasure to meet you, and, are you okay?" He worriedly asked, confusing said turtle girl, but Miky seemed to understand, and looked a little pissed
"What do you mean?"
"When I saved you from the lasers, did anything hurt you there?" He explained
Donna blushed furiously, remembering how he saved her. She started to move her arm wildly, while trying to say something coherent "NO—I MEAN-YES YES I AM OKAY- WAIT-NO I'M NOT HURT-I MEAN-" She stopped, afraid of making a fool out of herself for more time and expecting a laugh from the hero boy
But it never came, what she heard was a sigh of relive. She looked up at his face to see that Ben looked like a weight was lift off from his shoulders "Thank god, I was worried you were hurt" He said, making her blush more and Miky to fuming silently "And you Miky?" He asked, surprising her, but she quickly regained her composure… kind of
"Of course! Thanks for asking!" She said, jumping and blushing a lot, until Donna held her down by her head
"We thank you for your help, but we need to go now" Donna said, sounding a little sad
"Want to keep it?" Ben asked while pointing to the plumbers badge, surprising the duo
"You serious? Won't it be a problem?"
"I was thinking about using it as communicator, since I will be here for a while and I wanted to form an alliance with you all"
"YOU'RE SERIOUSLY?!" Miky asked, taking the badge from Ben's hand and examining it "IT IS SO AWESOME!" She squealed, but started to whimper when Donna took it from her
"I'm not sure Leona would agree… but it would be useful to study it…" She trailed off
"So, what will you do?" Ben asked, to which Donna thought a little
"Can you please let me borrow and tell me how it works? But I'll give it back to you later" She plead
"Sure, so let me explain…" He told the duo the basics of the tech in the badge
He explained in a way that even Miky understand, which surprised and scared Donna
"You can make miracles?" She asked
"HEY!" Miky whimpered
"Sorry but I didn't understand, but now you girls should go meet your team, if you need help, just press the center of the symbol and I will be there in a second" He assured them
"Okay, see ya" Donna said, then she jumped to the nearest building
"Good-bye, Donna, Miky" Ben said, but Miky was still in front of him, making the sad version of the puppy dog eyes
"Adorable…" Ben thought while blushing
"I don't want to go…" She whimpered
"Don't be like that, Miky" He told her "What about next time we see each other, I show you some awesome aliens?" He offered
"I'll hold you to this promise!" She happily agreed "See ya, Ben" She told, ready to go, but before that, she did something unexpected…
She kissed Ben's cheek
"Good-bye…" She told him, a huge blush on her face as well on Ben's. Then she left, getting lost in the buildings
"Thanks again…" Donna said out of the sudden, a blush on her face, and accidentally snapping him out of his trance
He thought she already left
"You are welcome" He told her with a smile, making her blush more before leaving. Seconds later, he could no longer see her
He's alone now
"And time to get home" He said to himself before going to the fire escape
Miky was waiting for Donna on the roof of a building. When said turtle girl arrived, Miky sent to her a smile that promised nothing good, which was freaking Donna out
"Miky, what with the smile?" Donna asked worriedly
"How was it?" She simply asked, now with a serious look in her face
"How was what?" She replied, confused by the question
"How was it when Ben carried you brital style? I so wanted to be you there!" She responded, looking at Donna with an upset face, then she blushed at the thought of being carried by Ben
Donna, however, frozen in place, her face so red it was crimson
"MIQUELANGELA!" Donna screamed while chasing Miky, who was giggling no stop and running away from her sister
TIMESKIP
When Donna and Miky arrived at their house, both with blushes, the turtles made a plan: lure the giant bat to save April and… capture it to prevent it from do something unpleasant. Now they are flying, or, more precisely, Leona, Donna and Raph are flying while the last had a rope attached to Miky, who is in what I hope is a poorly made butterfly costume while screaming
"Turflydo is ready for the mission BUZZ BUZZ! Its bug eyes see every crime, Buzz Buzz. Its-"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP WITH THE 'BUZZ BUZZ' AFTER EVERY SENTECE?!" Raph asked (translation: ordered)
"I could do that, BUZZ BUZZ, but I probably won't BUZZ BUZZ" Miky answered… and Raph, in return, flied wildly to try and shut Miky, Leona and Donna ignored it, albeit for different reasons
"Donna, any signal of Mr. O'Neil?" Leona asked, but got no answer "Donna?" She repeated
Said turtle as thinking, obviously about the world around her "I hope he will like it…" she whispered blushing a faint pinkish green, while looking at the bag she brought from their home hanging on her wings, but someone's screaming her name made her almost lose the control of her wings
It was Leona calling her
"Woa! What was that for?!" She asked
"It's your fault! You were ignoring me when I called you!"
"Okay, sorry! What was it that you wanted?"
"I asked: have you seen Mr. O'Neil?" The blue masked leader repeated the question
"Let me see…" She started to look around with a binocular "No, I can't see him yet…" She started, but she got an idea "Time for a little payback, hehe…" She thought with a evil smile on her face "Raph, shake Miky a little more, she needs to look like a bug so she must fly the same way"
"He he, no problem!" Raph agreed
Poor, poor Michelangela…
"AAAHHHH BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ!" Miky screamed, unable to stop the 'flight' (translation: torture), while Raph was enjoying it and Donna was silently laughing darkly
But, fortunately and unfortunately for the turtles, especially Miky, the bat they were looking for saw the later and decided to have a little fiesta
"!" Donna gasped "Kirby at four o'clock!" She screamed, but it was too late as the mutated human flied past them, almost knocking them out of the sky
But it wasn't its intension…
"It's heading straight for Miky!" Leona shouted, but quickly ordered Raph to "Pull up!"
Raph was doing her best to keep Miky alive, but Mutated Kirby was fast
She may won't be able manage to do it
The bat was getting close, but it looked they would manage to dodge
In the end, it wasn't necessary
Some kind of green goop suddenly attached itself on the bat's face, making it change its course and saving Miky in the process
But before any question could be made, a being made itself know
It had a bug\insect like body with four insect-like flat legs with two arms, whose hands are human-style ones with a black coloration, similar to figerless gloves, and had thrre clawed fingers. It had four pedunculated eyes that are pretty small and yellowish-orange in color, these eyes were linked directly to the sides of his huge black head. Its wings were light green with lines on them and they seemed to be fragile. And the last detail was an all too familiar symbol to the turtles, even after so little time
The Ultimatrix symbol at the top of its forehead
And, it was stinking
"Missed me?" It asked, but the answer he received was Leona, Donna and Raph pinching their noses and Miky looking at him with stars in her eyes
"You… are-""STINKING!" Raph screamed, interrupting Miky, but she did not affected Ben, who was calming flying towards them
"Yeah, kinda of already knew that, hence the name: Stinkfly" The now named Stinkfly returned, calm and without sarcasm, but it still accidentally angered Raph "But anyway, anyone has a plan?"
"Yes, we have" Leona asked, to which Raph and Miky looked confused
"There is a plan?"
Leona just facepalmed
"Anyway, what are you doing here?" She asked, confusing the hero
"Helping, of course" He honestly responded
"But how did-""He's coming around again!" Donna alerted interrupting Leona
Raph dived to an alley with the mutated human right behind, she was trying to lose him, but he was hot in her wheels, but fortunately, the others heroes were too
The bat was getting close to Miky, but the turtle girl was ready for it: she took one of her nunchakus, spun it around a bit to get ready for the attack, while making a joke
"Time for Turflydo to take out her arch-nemesis: Wingnart!" She shouted while attacking him, just as they started to fly up againg and Donna screaming
"YOU'RE NOT GIVING MR. O'NEIL A MONSTER NAME!" She shouted to Miky
The flight continued, but as Kirby was begin distracted by Raph and Miky, Leona flied above him and… let go of her wings!
Landing right on the back of the mutated human, who started to move around wildly, doing everything it could to make her let go, but she hold on for dear life while trying to calm him down, but it wasn't working
"Mr. O'Neil, Kirby, we don't want to hurt you!We are trying to help" She tried reasoning with him, but in the middle of all the confusion, they slammed into Donna, making her lose control of her wings and starts falling down
Donna was already seeing where she was going: straight to a roof!
She let go of her wings and let gravity take control, so she could at least land more safely… and less painful
But, to her surprise and amazed, she felt a pair of strong arms get a hold on her, then she started flying
It was amazing
But something was stinking… literally… and it alone told her who was the one that saved her live again
"Are you alright?" Ben\Stinkfly asked
Donna is blushing a storm, it is the second time he saved her only in the night they met! Her heart was beating fast and hard against her chest
"Scratch the fact that this alien stinks! He saved my life!" She thought, enjoying the sensation of being in his arms and flying, she doesn't care if this form stinks or is ungly, it is still Ben, saving her life and taking her to a flight
But it didn't last long as a call was made
"Donna! Over here!" April's voice waked Donna from her daydreaming about Ben, which made her look at her human friend with murderer intentions
"April… I'll kill you!" The turtle girl darkly thought while Ben\Stinkfly flied closer to the human girl
"Donna! Am I glad to see-Argh! WHAT IS THIS SMELL!?" She asked\screamed while pinching her nose
"Sorry, can't help it, cones with the alien" Ben explained
"It can speak!?" She asked incredulously, until she realized something "Wait… alien?..." Then she saw the symbol on Stinkfly's forehead "You're Ben 10!" She shouted
"And it is a pleasure meeting you, but wouldn't you prefer to talk with your feet on the floor, instead of hanging in there?" He asked, not saying her name as to prevent them for knowing that he was spying them
"I would like that, please…" She responded, still surprised by the fact a famous super hero was in front of her
"Then hop on!" He said
"…" She stayed silently for a second, but she made a choice "… Wish it was another alien…" She said, while getting on his back, avoiding the wings
"You won't be saying that when you see what Stinkfly can do!" He returned while taking flight at an incredible speed
April could only hold on Ben\Stinkfly's neck for dear life, while the later was holding Donna closer so she wouldn't fall, which made her go back to dreamland
"So, I was right or I was right?" The alien hero asked April
"You were right!" April answered when she found her voice again
"Thought so!" He smirked, then proceed to find the rest of the turtles, lucky, Donna knew where they were
AT THE WAREHOUSE
Leona, Raph and Miky (still as Turflydo) were able to encage Mr. O'Neil and now they were waiting for Ben and Donna when buzzing sounds were suddenly heard. They looked up just as Stinkfly, together with Donna and April, come flying through the hole the mutated bat made in the fall.
Ben\Stinkfly gently put Donna on the floor, then he landed. That was when April jumped off of him and went running towards her dad while the alien hero returned to normal
"Dad!" She called him, while stretching her arm to touch his head, which calmed him down, but she then started to worry "What are we gonna do with him? I mean, keep him encaged forever and feeding him with bugs and flies?"
Donna decided to increase her knowledge "Actually, bats eat moths and spiders too-" But when she saw the look on April's face, she noticed her mistake "Sorry…" she finished avoiding looking into the human girl's eyes
April then decided to continue her self pity "This is all my fault… If I haven't lied to dad…" She trailed off when Miky put a hand on her shoulder
"Don't blame yourself, April. It was our fault, we spread the mutagen, but we will fix it" She said, ignoring the pleading eyes and sings of her sisters to stop while April had her back to them
"You… spread the mutagen…?" She asked, not understanding nor believing what was being told to her. That couldn't be the truth!
… could it?
To Ben, however, that wasn't
Miky continued "Yea, we unleashed all that mutagen all over the city, but don't worry, we will fix it!"
April was going to shout at them, she was furious! They were supposed to be her friends, her best friends! If so, then how could they mutate her dad, just like that?! He was their friend too, right?!
A moment before she exploded, a voice, full of regret and sorrow, said one sentence, one simple sentence that was able to stop her rage
"It isn't true" Ben's voice seemed to echoed in the warehouse just before silence prevailed
It was unbearable…
"…What do you mean by… 'it isn't true'?" April asked to Ben, her eyes filled with pure rage
Ben sighed, but started to talk "When we were inside the ship, I got distracted, but Donna saved me, unfortunately, that lead to the mutagen to fall of the ship and all over the city" He told her, surprising everyone there, especially the turtles girls
He would take the blame for them?!
"So, if you want to blame someone, blame me" He told her in a calm voice, but full of regret
.
.
.
Again that dreadful silence, tensing everyone there, no one dared to make a single move
Finally, but unfortunately, April broke the silence
"It's your fault then?" She asked, receiving a nod for them "Weren't you suppose to be the hero?"
"… I'm sorry… but there is no such thing as a hero that can save everyone…" He responded
"…" April stayed quiet for a few seconds before she finally recovered her voice "Get… out…" She said slowly, in a warming tone
"…" Ben just stayed there, not moving a muscle
"I said get-" A roar interrupted her
Her das had gone berserk again. He let out another roar, then broke the cage with a new found strength, to finally fly away, away from Ben, away from the turtles
Away from April, his daughter
That was when she lost it, and she herself went berserk
"It is your fault!" She screamed at Ben while pointing an accusing finger at said alien hero "You say you are the greatest hero of all, but in the end, you are just a no good for nothing that can only make things worse!" She shouted, tears failing from her eyes, she couldn't stop crying neither control her rage, and the fact that Ben was doing nothing but look at her eyes directly with a regretful look, was only increasing her rage
"In the end-" She continued "You are nothing but a failure" She said angrily, then waited for a reaction from Ben
But nothing happened! He was just looking at her, waiting for her to continue, accepting her wrath like he really deserved that
"Why aren't you reacting?!" She demanded, but never got her answer
April didn't know what to do anymore, so she did the only thing that she could at the moment
She ran away
The turtles, who were socked since the start, finally snapped out of it and tried to stop April, but, again, a voice stopped everything
"Let her alone for now, she needs time to think" Ben reasoned, to which none of the turtles could disagree
But they wanted answers! And now!
"Why did you do that?" Leona asked "It was our fault, not yours, so why help us?"
"…" Ben didn't answer in the begging, he seemed to be thinking about what to say. After a few seconds, he simply said "Because I thought it was the right thing to do"
It confused the turtles
"But I was the one who throw that Kraang at the mutagen, and you said it yourself, so how could it be your fault?" Donna tried to reasoned with him, but it didn't work
"You saved me when I was distracted, so if I wasn't distracted, you wouldn't had to save me, thus causing all this trouble" He responded and started to walk to the door of the warehouse, the turtles couldn't bring it to themselves to stop him
"I think you need to know this too: in the sewers, when you heard that beeping sound-" He stopped to look at the surprised faces of the mutated turtles "-It was me" He said
"Wh-""Big Chill" He said simply, interrupting Raph "Big Chill's intangibility and flight allowed me to follow you" He explained while opening the door "I'm sorry, but when I saw you all while I was flying around New York, I wanted to see if the information were true, so I followed you, girls…" He exited the warehouse, but before he closed the door, he looked at them "I'm sorry" He said, then he closed the door, to finally leave them alone to think about what happened tonight and two nights ago
"They must have already left the warehouse" He thought "Better go to my apartment" He looked at the Ultimatrix while walking, the device was still reloading "Guess I will walk then. I hope it will at least help me think things out a little" He finished, putting his hands in his pockets and walking to his temporally home
It may be a sad way to start an adventure…
It may be a lonely night now…
But no one notice that the Ultimatrix obtained a yellow glow that illuminated the night for a second…
In the end… the only certain thing was that it was just the beginning…
The end! For now!
So, what do you guy thing of it? I hope you all liked it!
And I bet some of the scenes youe weren't expecting, right?
But now is time for the request I that I said\talked\wrote about, do you guys remember?
Anyway, the request is about a very special and important factor about this story...
Ben's harem
At the start of this story, some people sent me reviews regarding about it, so I have decided to tell you about the current harem for Ben on the story so far:
Ben's harem: Leona, Donna, Raph, Miky, April, Karai
Now it's time for the request: do you want anymore girl in the harem, but by warmed, I'm still deciding what to do with the villains, so maybe requests of them if the harem will be left out, I'm sorry but it can't be helped, if I decided about one thing, then maybe none of them can be in the harem
And, the second one is, do you want a fem Leatherhead in the harem?
And third, Maybe I won't puy Fem Casey in ther harem, I was thinking that he should stay a male, so he could be a rival to Ben, tell me what you think about it!
I will be counting your votes until 22\04\2015, you have ten days while I write the next chapter and other story, chose wisely
And see you all in the next chapter of:
'Plumber between Ninjas'!
Human Soul, out
