Chapter 6: A Shocking Experience

Well, things were still going by relatively well, but Ben was up to his average antics, as usual. He was making faces at another kid in the car next to us. As usual, I refused to partake in this part of things he does, unless they seemed interesting enough to pull. This was nothing.

Gwen: "I'm glad you aren't doing this with him."

Dustin: "Oh please… I got over that ages ago." Ben kept making faces, until the kid ate part of his sandwich, and showed it to Ben on his tongue.

Ben: "The seafood special…" I saw him do that, and I prayed Ben wouldn't o something stupid. But bowing him he would. "That's the way this brat wants to play, huh? Well!" Ben turned the Omnitrix on, and changed to Stinkfly. He made large gurgling noises, which scared the living crap out of him. His dad also freaked out, and floored it.

Dustin: "Ben, what the hell?" I said as Ben changed back.

Ben: "What? He deserved it. Little brat. Keep your food to your own friggin' mouth."

Dustin: "Well what you did was nastier than what that kid did."

Max: "Well, whoa!" He stopped, and I slid up to the front.

Max: "That trucks about to explode." It was an oil-carrying truck on fire.

Dustin: "On it!" I went Heatblast, and ran out of the RV, and up to the flaming truck. I absorbed the fire with my powers, then went Diamondhead. I jumped to the top of the truck, and cut a hole on the top of the roof of the truck.

Truck driver: "Thank you." I pulled him out, jumped off, and set him down.

Diamondhead: "No problem, bud."

The kid that made the 'seafood special' said, "An alien! There's one, Dad!"

Diamondhead: "Sorry, no time for autographs! I'm off!" I ran back into the RV, it took off, and I reverted back to normal.

Gwen: "Nice job."

Dustin: "No big one."

Ben: "And, that kid deserved a Stinkfly scare."

Max: "We're heading to the place I wanted to go to."

Dustin: "Which is?"

Max: "You'll know when we get there." Gwen, Ben, and I looked at each other.

Ben: "It can't be much worse than Aunt Vera, right?"

Dustin: "Hush up. I still have half her gelatin pork chop left over."

Gwen: "You ate it for lunch yesterday."

Dustin: "A snack."

Gwen: "By how much you ate, I thought you had a second lunch."

Dustin: "A hero needs to keep his energy up, Gwen."

Ben: "We've noticed."

Max: "Look at the signs, kids."

Dustin: "You'll have a ball with 'it'."

Ben: "'It' is only 3 more miles."

Gwen: "What's 'it' exactly?"

Max: "We'll find out." After three more miles of driving…

We stopped in front of a sign that said Sparksville.

Max: "Here we are, kids."

Ben: "Welcome to Spraksville. Ooooh…"

Dustin: "Oh… my… God! That is the biggest hot dog I have ever seen!"

Voice: "You betcha." I turned, to see a man in a white tux.

Dustin: "Helo. And you are…"

Voice: "I'm the mayor of Sparksville. Welcome."

Ben: "What else is here?"

Mayor: "Almost everything in the world's largest." Yep. The world's largest lightbulb, largest toothpicks, largest chicken, and house of cards was also there.

Mayor: "Stay as long as you wish."

Max: "We will."

Dustin: "Doesn't sound too bad so far. Come on, gang."

Gwen: "Let's get it over with."

We had checked out the planetarium, and a gift shop, where Ben and Gwen got funny goggles, and I got a stuffed hot dog (like a stuffed animal). I got photos with my new camera to make this memorable. We went behind a stand up picture of the farm picture, and I was the dude holding the pitchfork, and Gwen was the woman next to him. We also got hot dogs later, Ben threw a hot dog at Gwen after she sprayed him with ketchup, and I went XLR8 to stop the two from doing anything they might regret. Finally, we came up to a giant rubber band ball.

Ben: "Wow.'It' is this thing?"

Gwen: "Yes. Apparently it is."

Dustin: "Good lord. I seen river band ball before but never this big."

Mayor: "Mind the signs, kids."

Dustin: "Can do." The mayor left.

Gwen: "Don't touch it, don't use electrical equipment anywhere near it… what can we do?" Ben became Four Arms.

Fourarms: "I can have some fun with this bad boy." Ben picked it up, and started throwing it across to one hand to the other.

Ben: "Dude! Put that thing down!"

Gwen: "You'll get us in trouble, Ben! Stop!"

Four Arms: "What the mayor doesn't know won't hurt him."

Dustin: "Yeah Ben! It would!"

Gwen: "Put it down!"

Four Arms: "Hyup! Catch!" Ben kept doing that, which finally made Gwen laugh to it. Until Ben tried holding it with all three other arms behind my back did he lose grip on it.

He caught the rubberband ball, but the town was heavily trashed up. Gwen slapped his back while I punched his bottom left arm.

Four Arms: "Ouch!"

Dustin: "Dammit Ben! Now look what you've done!"

Gwen: "How could you?" I transformed into XLR8.

XLR8: "Chang back Ben! I'll put everything back. Stay put!" I had done that, and we headed off to bed, which all the beds were on the wall.

Max: "Benjamin! Gwendolyn! Dustin!" All three of us fell out of the beds.

Gwen: "Gwendolyn?"

Dustin: "Let's go." We went out.

Ben: "What seems to be the problem, Grandpa?"

Max: "Looks like we had a tornado come through."

Mayor: "No. It was caused by juvenile acts."

Max: "Juvenile?" He looked at all three of us, and I shrugged, but they laughed nervously. We then saw a yellow battery thing fly around all of us, trying to be funny.

Dustin: "Aww… such a cute wittle fella…!" I touched its nose, and it shocked me, sending an electrical surge through my body, which also made the Omnitrix glow yellow, and its silhouette appeared in both mine and Ben's Omnitrix after I fell to the ground. It then gave Grandpa Max an atomic wedgie.

Max: "Ouch! This is not funny!" It had a pleased look on its face, and it pulled Gwen's shirt over her head.

Ben: "Dustin! Go hero!"

Dustin: "That over sided battery's gonna get it!" I got up, and grabbed the Omnitrix, and noticed a shadow was already available. "It's him!" I slapped it down, and became him.

Mayor: "That's a Megawatt. It's something that controls electrical devices, and has a twisted sense of humor."

Omnitrix 2.0: "Actually the more correct term is Nosedeenian. But you are right about the other two factors."

Dustin: "Hmm…! I thought I recognized that little guy!" I shot out electricity at the alien, and it dodged the shot.

Dustin: "From this day forth, you'll be Buzzshock!" The Megawatt growled, and went into a soda machine, and shot cans at me. I flew around each can, and yelled: "That all you got?" It came out, growled, and shot electricity at me. I dodged it, and flew towards it, and punched it. It flew towards a power line, and went inside of it. It traveled through them, and started destroying them.

Mayor: "There goes the power lines. Oh well." Sparks headed down towards people, and I absorbed each spark to save them.

Buzzshock: "Man! I need to get this thing under control before it destroys everything! Ben, a little help!" Ben nodded and transformed into Buzzshock as well. We went into the power line to chase after it, and it flew out through a pay phone, and we flew after it. It stopped in midair, and shot more electricity at us. I got hit by it, and fell down to the ground. It grabbed the toothpicks with its electricity, and threw them down at me and the citizens. I dodged the ones closest to me, but the toothpicks hit many other things before finally stopping.

Mayor: "Not the toothpicks. Oh the humanity."

Gwen: "We have to help those two! At least we know the the green ones are Ben and Dustin!"

Max: "We have to ground it. But how?"

Gwen looked around, and saw the world's largest thermometer.

Gwen: "How about that?" He pointed at the thermometer.

Max: "Good idea!" It was tied to a truck. Max got in, drove it, and dropped it into the ground, with Gwen pushing it off.

Gwen: "Kyle! Ben! Lure it over here!" I turned to see it in the ground.

Buzzshock Dustin: "Of course!" I spit my tongue out at the Megawatt, and it got enraged. It chased me towards the pole, and shocked Ben who took the blow. He fell to the ground. He then used my powers to grab a manhole cover, and threw it at the Megawatt. It got split in half.

Buzzshock Ben: "Yes!" But, it split into two Megawatts. They looked at each other, and laughed.

Buzzshock Ben: "Oh man…" I managed to give them my attention and flew towards the thermometer, and they followed me at top speed. I flew up as soon as they were about to grab me, and they got sunk into the Earth.

Buzzshock Ben: "Awesome job, Dustin!" Ben and I high-fived. He got a bit of a shock though. Ben looked at me being a little frustrated, and I shrugged.

Mayor: "You do know the earth is just one huge conductor, right?"

Buzzshock Dustin: "W-what?"

Gwen: "Oh no…"

Buzzshock Ben: "So… that was a bad thing?"

Gwen and Buzzshock Dustin: "Yes!" Very soon after that, they came out of the ground, at numbers in nearly the hundreds. They each screamed, and destroyed all of the windows, and made everyone, except me and Ben, cringe at it.

Buzzshock Dustin: "Hey! Pick on someone with the same powers as you!" They all looked at me, and shot electricity at me, but it was too much for me to absorb, and I fell to the ground, in deep pain. They all found the planetarium displays, and made a monster out of it. They tried to squash me, but I became XLR8 at the last second. It decided they had no more time for me, and left towards the dam.

XLR8: "Come back here!"

Max: "Wait! We need a plan!"

XLR8: "Like what?"

Max: "We use the world's largest fish bowl."

XLR8: "Of course. That's genius." I became Four Arms, jumped up to the top, and grabbed it.

Gwen: "Where's the dam?"

Buzzshock: "The dam?"

Four Arms: "It supplies a lot of electrical power. Why else would the Megawatts want it?" Buzzshock eventually reverted back to Ben.

Ben: "Let's get over there! Now!"

Four Arms: "Already on it." I was setting up the trap, preparing for the Megawatts' appearance. I then went Heatblast, and went to the top of the dam.

I turned back to normal, and activated my walkie talkie.

Kyle: "Max! I have set up the bulb. Over."

Max: "Acknowledged, Dustin. Gwen, How about you?"

Gwen: "Just fine, Grandpa. We're ready to back him up at any time."

Ben: "Ben here. I'm getting bored. Over!"

Max: "Just wait, Ben."

Ben: "Copy that, Grandpa."

Gwen: "Gwen here. Dustin, good luck big bro"

Dustin: "Acknowledged sis."

The Megawatts now showed up.

Dustin: "Ben, Gwen, Max. I'm going to engage the target. Over."

Max: "Get into position, kids." I activated Heatblast, and shot fire down on it. It looked up at me.

Heatblast: "I suggest you give up! NOW! Or you'll get fried!" It roared, and slammed the dam. I fell down, and became Four Arms. It jumped, and I slammed the ground, then went XLR8, and up to it, and kicked it in the face a bunch of times. It socked me off, and I became Stinkfly, and shot some slime at it. It short circuited. Then I went Upgrade, and merged with it, hoping to force the Megawatts out of the body, but all it did was force me off of it in a puddle form. I became Amoeblob, and it tried to smash me while I slithered along to dodge its feet. Then I went Heatblast, and a fire stream at it again. It slowed down considerably, and then I went Diamondhead. I made my hands blades, then started charging at it. It was slashed across the chest, and it backed up. I went Buzzshock, and launched electricity at the hole. It shocked the whole body, and the Megawatts all flew out. They looked astonished, and went Heatblast to seal up the hole in the body. They looked at me angrily.

Heatblast: "What?" They charged at me, but I fired another fire stream at them. They slowed down, and then I became XLR8, ran over to the covered fish bowl. I stuck my tongue out at them again. They ran for me, I took off the cover, and they all flew into the fish bowl, and I went Heatblast to seal it shut, while Ben and Gwen threw me a lid to seal it with.

Max: "Excellent teamwork on sealing them in."

Heatblast: "Yeah, but I did all the heavy lifting."

Max: "Good job, Dustin."

Heatblast: "Thanks Max." Ben went Four Arms again, grabbed the light bulb, as it would be now, and brought it back to Sparksville. We both became normal after Ben set it down. I took a picture of the massive jar that contained the Megawatts.

Mayor: "Thank you guys."

Dustin: "It's what we do best."

Mayor: "And remember to mind the signs."

Kyle: "Always." I said as I cast a quick glare to Ben to which he got the memo.

Gwen: "You did awesome back there." She hugged my arm.

Dustin: "Like always, Gwen. But I couldn't have done it alone." I said giving her a noogie.

Ben: "So got those pictures?"

Dustin: "Sure do bud." I said as I showed the picture I took. Plus the batter was half dead but luckily it's a rechargeable one.
