Hello Everybody! Btr100 over here with the 20th chapter of my story, Ben 10: The Faction Returns...
Well, this part is running long, and the city is getting much more jacked up...
Peace!-Btr100
"Okay. NRG might not be enough, but maybe..." NRG said as his body flashed green and his form changed.
Starfire punched Malware in the face, before uppercutting him and giving him a hard kick in the stomach, before firing a green energy beam from her hands which managed to hit Malware and sent him backwards, but Malware managed to endure the strong attack, but then Raven held him in place in mid-air once again.
"You two are most resilient. I would have to give you that. However, it is not enough." Malware boasted.
"Oh yeah? How about this!" a deep voice said, before a large rock landed a hit on Malware, which sent him flying far away. The camera then reveals Armodrillo, running quickly, before jumping high, leaving an earth column on the ground.
Malware then landed on the sea right next the Titans Tower, but he easily recovered and he stood up again, just in time for Armodrillo to land 20 meters away from the mutated Galvanic Mechamorph.
"You're not going to hurt my friends in my dimension, and you're not going to hurt my friends in this dimension as well!" Armodrillo said, before aiming for a punch...
Armodrillo then punched Malware several times, but Malware kept absorbing the blows due to his liquid body, but Armodrillo just kept on punching and punching, even turning his hands into drills and attempting to drill him, but obviously failed due to his body structure. Malware grew tired and blasted Armodrillo with his missiles, which sent the Talpaedan backwards.
"You are wasting your precious time Ben Tennyson. Resistance is futile." Malware said.
"Not yet Malware. I still have a couple of tricks." Armodrillo said, before his body was covered in green light, his body form changing once again, and seconds later, he went from Armodrillo and transformed himself into:
"Shocksquatch!" the sasquatch look a like alien yelled, before releasing a huge amount of electricity from his body and because they were in the sea, the water conducted the electricity and it electrocuted Malware and because of him being living metal, he was seriously affected and he screamed loudly.
"Pathetic strategies Tennyson. I came prepared." Malware said as he turned his hand into a spear like weapon which absorbed all of the electricity Shocksquatch was releasing, before firing a red energy beam which managed to hit Shocksquatch and severely injure him, forcing him into his knees, while screaming loudly in pain.
"You absorbed...Aggregor's spear?" Shocksquatch asked.
"Yes Tennyson. I knew it would be of good use someday." Malware said as he continued to fire the red energy beam at Shocksquatch, injuring Shocksquatch even more. Shocksquatch, not giving up, changed his body form again, transforming himself into:
"Blitzwolfer!" the Loboan shouted, before opening his mouth and releasing a sonic howl, which then sent Malware flying over the Titans Tower and crashing into some buildings, before skidding into the streets, toppling some cars along the way.
"Okay. That was a bit too much, but whatever. Time for:" Blitzwolfer said, before transforming himself into:
"Echo Echo!" the Sonorosian shouted, before slapping the Omnitrix symbol, transforming himself into:
"Ultimate Echo Echo!" the evolved Sonorosian shouted, before flying towards Malware's location.
Ultimate Echo Echo saw the damage in the city caused by all of the recent events that just happened as he landed in the middle of the streets, looking for Malware who was nowhere to be found. Ultimate Echo Echo then walked forward, looking around him, seeing large destruction of Jump City. He sighed, Jury Rigg has a lot of fixing to do.
"Oh Malware. Come out. Come out. Where you are." Ultimate Echo Echo said in his usual robotic voice. Then, without warning, he was suddenly floating in mid-air, with him struggling to get down again. Ultimate Echo Echo suspected it was Raven, but he wasn't covered in a black aura and he is seeing red rings surrounding him as he looked behind to see:
"Malware. I thought it was you." he said.
Malware is standing right in front of him, his hand turned into something similar to Lodestar's hand, which has the capability to magnetize things. Though Ben was not so sure if that was alien technology or if Malware gained the ability to absorb organic life-forms, because Biosovortians don't have anything mechanical on them, just metal heads and a weird body shape.
"I finally have you Ben Tennyson. Now, prepare to end your journey." Malware said.
"Don't be so sure about that." Ultimate Echo Echo said, before releasing a sonic wave which managed to send Malware flying and skidding on the streets, letting go of Ultimate Echo Echo and setting him down the ground. Ultimate Echo Echo walked towards Malware as he managed to stand up again.
"Leave this dimension Malware!" Ultimate Echo Echo shouted in anger.
"I will never leave this place without the precious Omnitrix in my hands!" Malware replied.
"I guess I have no choice.." Ultimate Echo Echo said, before releasing a sonic scream which sent Malware flying and he crashed into several stores, before he crashed into several cars and skidded to a stop in the parking lot of a mall. Ultimate Echo Echo quickly arrived to the scene and walked towards him, only to get blasted by a laser blast which effectively sent him backwards.
"You are right. We are wasting time! I want to finish this now!" Ultimate Echo Echo said as he placed his hand on the Omnitrix symbol, quickly transforming into another alien, and that alien would have to be:
"Kickin' Hawk! (eagle sounds)" he shouted, before jumping high and kicking Malware as he landed. He used his talons and his powerful kicks in an attempt to battle Malware, but Malware kept absorbing the blows and they proven to have no effect on him. Kicking Hawk then landed one last kick, which managed to send Malware flying into the mall.
Before anything else happened, Kickin' Hawk was then grabbed by a red energy rope, before being pulled into the mall. Kickin' Hawk was then sent flying threw several shelves, lots of items being sent flying and scattering. Luckily, people evacuated earlier this day, so Ben doesn't have a problem with hurting any innocent civilians.
Kickin' Hawk stood up as he rubbed his aching head. He then saw Malware walking towards him, before firing a large laser blast which sent Kickin Hawk flying through several shelves and crashed into the wall. As he stood up, he decided to transform into:
"Spitter!" the Spheriod shouted, as he saw flying towards him, firing several missiles and laser blasts. Spitter managed to dodge them all with great speed and agility and he grew in size afterwards, his size being compared to a pufferfish when filled with air, before firing a stream of slime which managed to hit Malware and send him crashing down.
Spitter made his slime acidic, and since Galvanic Mechamorphs are vulnerable to anything that can corrode or melt metal, Malware screamed in great pain, his body about to evaporate, green smoke bellowed from his body.
Spitter then saw some slime still covering Malware, as it slowly melted him, with Spitter transforming himself into:
"Frankenstrike!" the Transylian shouted, before firing an electrical bolt from his hands which was then conducted by Spitter's slime and Malware was severely electrocuted, and Malware's scream became louder and louder.
"Giving up yet Malware!?" Frankenstrike shouted as he continued firing electrical bolts at Malware.
"Not a chance Tennyson!" Malware shouted back, as he turned his hand into Aggregor's electric-absorbing spear and absorbed the electricity Frankenstrike was currently firing at him, before firing a red bolt of energy which collided with Frankenstrike's electrical bolt and slowly overpowered the electrical bolt.
"Oh man. It was getting to the good part too." Frankenstrike said, before transforming himself into:
"Four Arms!" the Tetramand shouted, before jumping high to avoid the red blast of energy and landing right in front of Malware, before punching him with his upper left arm, his lower left arm, before punching him with his upper right arm, before smacking him away with all of his four arms, sending him crashing towards the wall and flying into an electrical appliances store.
Four Arms then bashed in the appliance store and he clapped loudly, sending a sonic wave which sent nearby TVs, washing machines, refrigerators and computers flying and sending Malware flying out of the store and crashing into a fashion store. As Malware stood up, he saw his Tetramand opponent walking towards him, slapping his Omnitrix symbol, turning him into:
"Ultimate Four Arms!" he shouted, before clapping very loudly, which caused one large sonic shockwave which managed to destroy the entire mall, dust and smoke bellowing, with a small part of the shockwave managing to reach a very small part of the city, and the Teen Titans with Charmcaster and Rook arrived just in time to see the demolition of the mall.
"BEN!" Robin shouted.
Then, not too long after, they saw a four-armed blue alien being sent flying out of the destroyed mall and it crashed right into the parking lot and the Titans ran over to see what it was. When the dust cleared, the looked to see Ultimate Four Arms, who stood up and dusted himself.
"I do not recognize this species Ben. Could you tell me what it is?" Starfire asked.
"This is what a Tetramand looks like when they evolve." Ultimate Four Arms said.
But then, they heard several rocks flying and several laser beams being fired. They then looked to see Malware walking towards them, his hands turned into laser cannons, and Malware soon changed them into missile launchers.
"Enjoy your last transformation Tennyson, because the Omnitrix will be mine!" Malware shouted, before firing several missiles, but Raven quickly ran in front and protected her friends with her astral shield, while Ultimate Four Arms reverted back to Four Arms and transformed himself into:
"Upgrade! This time, it's fighting fire with fire!" the Galvanic Mechamorph said, before looking at Cyborg.
"How do you feel about having an upgrade?" Upgrade asked. Cyborg smiled and his smile was very large.
"Oh boy! An Upgrade!?" Cyborg shouted happily.
"Yep. I can give it to you. But you will feel weird after a few seconds, but you'll get used to it after a little while." Upgrade said, before he merges with Cyborg's robotic body and his robotic body's color changed into a black and green color scheme, with the Omnitrix symbol appearing on his chest.
"Hey! This feels kinda ticklish!" Cyborg said. Then, Upgrade's head appeared on Cyborg's arm which surprised the robotic teenager a little bit.
"I only have one tip, and it's doing your normal robot things. Now let's do this!" Upgrade said, before going back to Cyborg's robotic body, just in time for Raven's shield to break as Malware was continuously firing missiles at her shield.
"Okay! Titans GO!" Robin shouted, and all of the Titans jumped into action, with Cyborg being first to attack Malware.
"Let's see what this upgrade can do!" Cyborg shouted, before punching Malware repeatedly, Upgrade quickening the speed of his punches and even strengthening the blows, which sent Malware backwards every hit. Cyborg landed one last punch and Malware was sent stumbling backwards.
Cyborg then turned his hand into a sonic cannon, with several new enhancements such as built in missiles, and four mini-cannons built on each side. (Up, down, left, right) Cyborg then fired his sonic blast, and thanks to Upgrade, he instead fired a MASSIVE, green, laser blast which literally started with a BOOM! The massive laser blast then hit Malware and sent dust flying.
The other Titans then took the chance. Robin threw multiple explosive discs, Starfire fired multiple starbolts, Raven threw several cars using her telekinesis, Beast Boy turned into a T-Rex and stomped on Malware, Charmcaster fired several magic energy blasts and Rook fired multiple orange energy blasts from his Proto-Tool, each attack causing the dust cloud to grow bigger.
Then, as the Titans thought it was all over, Malware flew out of the dust cloud and into the sky, looking at the Titans, before firing multiple missiles at them. Cyborg then countered with his own enhanced missiles, which then collided with Malware's and caused a mid-air explosion.
Cyborg then activated his jetpack, and flew at high speeds towards Malware, firing energy blasts along the way. Malware dodged each blast, before turning his hand into an energy lasso and attempting to whip Cyborg with it, but he easily dodged each whip, before firing multiple missiles which hit Malware and sent him falling down and crashing into the ground.
Cyborg then landed on the ground, just in time to see Malware stand up again.
"Yo dude. Doesn't this guy give up?" Cyborg asked Upgrade.
"I swear, I turned him into a statue." Upgrade replied.
"This is pathetic. You are merely delaying your faith." Malware said as he turned his hand into his signature Tachyon Cannon and prepared to fire it and Cyborg prepared to counter with his Galvanic Mechamorph enhanced Sonic Cannon, but before Malware managed to fire, the alien dog that attacked them earlier suddenly appeared, tackled Malware and forced him down.
"Hey! It's that dog from earlier! And he's...helping us?" Beast Boy said in confusion.
"The device on her neck not only grants her the ability to transform into the predatory species of my aliens, but it was also a brain-washing device. She was with us before our enemies forced her to wear it, brainwashing her." Upgrade explained as they watched Malware struggling to get Zed off of him.
"Well, Malware. Zed might be useless to you, but she has a lot of uses to us now!" Upgrade said, as Malware threw Zed off of him, the alien dog landing in front of the Titans. Malware looked at his opponents. 9 of them against one of him. He was overwhelmingly outnumbered, considering that each of them had 'worthy' superpowers in his taste.
He then turned his hand into a Dimensional Portal Raygun, before firing it on his left, a portal appearing.
"This is not over Tennyson." Malware said, before entering the portal and disappearing.
Upgrade then unmerged with Cyborg and reverted back to Ben as Zed tackled him and licked his face, the whole gang laughing. Charmcaster and Rook then walked towards him.
"So Ben. Ready to go back to your dimension?" Charmcaster asked him as a portal appeared behind Ben. Ben looked at the Teen Titans, before looking at Charmcaster and his best alien friend.
"No, I'm not. Something tells me that I'm needed in this place and I want to help out the locals here, even when I'm not needed. Maybe I'll come back in a month or so." Ben said, before sharing a hug with Charmcaster, who she happily accepted and returned, before giving a bro-fist at Rook and giving him a bro-hug as well, saying their goodbyes.
Charmcaster and Rook took one last look at Ben, before entering the portal, which disappeared after a second.
Ben then looked at the heavily damaged Jump City, before chuckling.
"Now. I have a lot of fixing to do." Ben said, before transforming himself into:
"Jury Rigg!"
That's that for the 20th chapter!
High School is fun, but very hard at the same time! I'm beginning to wonder why I'm in the Special Science Curriculum when I don't even know how to tie my own shoelaces or even tie a knot for that matter...
What's even surprising, is that I have a classmate in the SSC, that was SUPER lazy in the Grade School. I doubt he passed ANY projects, homeworks or even did his seatworks.
Peace!-Btr100
