Disclaimer: I don't own Ben Ten this is just a story just for fun.
The squad loaded up onto a ship and headed towards the Mercury Magnum. The recruits stared at the large silver ship in awe. The ship docked into the loading bay. Lucy gathered up the recruits.
"Ok girls lets get this mission started." Said Lucy as she changed into her disguise.
"Alright I'll go into Ronald's hotel room, hack his personal computer, and check his business deals." Said Gaz before she shrank to microscopic size and flew off.
Talley and Ember tapped their uniforms and transformed into their gladiator outfits.
"Ok y'all lets saddle up and get going." Said Lucy in her disguised voice.
The three of them walked out of the hanger towards the gladiator arena. Several arena goers glanced at Talley and Ember with interest. Talley and Ember looked embarrassed.
"I...cant wait to be out of these outfits." Said Talley.
"Yeah...these outfits look stupid." Said Ember.
"Just relax. Those outfits are to help you blend in." Said Lucy.
They entered the arena and saw several spectators, gladiators, and fight promoters. The group saw Ronald standing nearby with a couple of black suited Vreedles with black hats, a Tetramand in gladiator armor and a Prypiatosian-B with a containment suit with spiky shoulders.
"Time to make contact." Said Lucy.
The group walked towards Ronald and his group.
"Howdy there partner. The names Charles Cluck." Said Lucy in her disguised voice.
The two Vreedles stepped in front of Ronald reaching into their suits for their weapons. Ronaldo raised his hand stopping the Vreedles. He stepped past his bodyguards and walked up to Lucy and her group.
"Forgive my bodyguards they tend to get a little trigger happy. The names Ronald Sanderstar. Nice to meet you." Said Ronaldo as he held his hand up.
"It's alright. No harm no foul. I'm new to these gladiator games." Said Lucy as she shook Ronald's hand.
"You don't say." Said Ronaldo as he eyed Talley and Ember. "Mighty fine gladiators you got there.
"Thank you kindly." Said Lucy.
"They might give my gladiators a tough fight in the next round." Said Ronaldo.
"Oh my gladiators are quit tough." Said Lucy.
"Oh will see. Why don't we place a little wager on who wins." Said Ronaldo.
"Sounds interesting. I'm in." Said Lucy.
Ronald, Lucy, and the two Vreedle bodyguards walked off towards a private booth. A robot guide appeared and lead Talley, Ember, and Ronald's gladiators down to the arena. The teams were separated and lead to different entrances where they would enter the arena.
In another part of the ship Gaz had snuck into Ronald's room through the air vent. Gaz grew to her four foot size and started to work on Ronald's computer, hacking it, and looking at all his business transactions. Gaz found out that Ronald had indeed purchased some of his gladiators from a slave trader by the name of Mr. O. Gaz continued to read the files. Apparently Ronald had bought the slaves and had given Mr. O a large amount of money and some high tech robotic weapons. Gaz then found a file saying that Ronald was planning on meeting Mr. O after the Gladiator Games.
"Just wait until the others here about this." Said Gaz as she down loaded the files onto a flash drive.
Gaz got off the computer, grabbed the flash drive, shrunk to nano size and flew out of the room.
At the arena the Gladiator Games were fixing to begin. The crowd was getting restless. Talley and Ember waited for the fighting to begin taking deep breaths as they prepared for the fight. A announcer's voice came on over the intercom.
"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Gladiator Games! Today we will have three teams compete in an all out brawl against each other and a large number of robots!" Said the announcer.
One of the arena doors opened and out walked Talley and Ember.
"Here's our first team of Terror and Scorcher!" Said the announcer.
"They gave us stupid gladiator names." Grumbled Ember.
"Just go with it." Whispered Talley.
Another arena door opened up and out walked a Galilean with an eyepatch on it's left eye and a Segmentasapiens with horns.
"Presenting Omega-Ton and Blocks!" Said the announcer.
A third arena door opened up and out walked Ronald's gladiators.
"Presenting our final team Crusher and Fury!" Said the announcer.
All the gladiators looked at one another, ready to fight. A platform with thirty robots dressed in gladiator armor rose out of the floor.
"Let the games begin! Last team standing wins!" Called the announcer.
The three teams of gladiators charged into the center of the arena to fight the robots and each other. The Galilean called Omega-Tom waved his hands in the air and used his gravity powers to lift several of the robots in the air and hurl them at the other teams. The other gladiators ran about as they dodged the attacks. Ember found herself facing the Prypiatosian-B called Fury, while Talley faced off against the Tetramand called Crusher.
Fury fired several blast of energy at Ember making her dodge about. Ember fired a blast of fire at Fury, but his containment suit protected him from the blast.
"Your puny flames can not harm me!" Laughed Fury.
Ember ran at Fury. Fury swung a fist at her, but she jumped over it and kicked Fury in the back of the head knocking him to the ground. Fury snarled as he stumbled to his feet. Ember dealt several powerful punches and kicks to Fury's back. Fury tried to get at Ember, but she would always get behind Fury and attack him from behind.
Talley was on the defensive against Crusher. It was taking all of Talley's skills to defend against Crusher's four arms. Crusher laughed wickedly as he threw a punch with one of his lower arms and hit Talley in the gut knocking her back a couple of yards. Crusher grinned and charged forward swinging one of his upper arms. Talley ducked underneath the swing, swiped her legs out knocking Crusher off his feet, and sent him crashing to the ground. Talley got prepared to attack Crusher, when suddenly several colorful bricks wrapped around her body. Talley turned her head and saw the Segmentasapiens called Blocks grinning at her.
"Got you!" He laughed before tossing her into air.
Talley flew through and then an invisible force grabbed her. Talley looked over and saw Omega-Ton grinning at her.
While this was going on Crusher got to his feet and swung his fist at Blocks smashing him to pieces. Omega-Ton saw Crusher and grabbed him with his gravity powers. Omega-Ton then turned towards Ember and Fury and grabbed them with his gravity powers. Omega-Ton started spinning everybody around his body as he laughed. Ember tried to blast Omega-Ton with a fire blast, but her aim was off. Ember grunted as she put her hands behind herself.
"Time to break free from this gravity goof." Said Ember as she fired her fire blast, breaking free of Omega-Ton's gravity, and sending herself flying at him.
Omega-Ton's eyes widened in shock as Ember smashed into him, knocking him to the ground, and making him lose concentration. The other gladiators fell and hit the floor. Omega-Ton groaned as he tried to get up, but Crusher charged forward and delivered a powerful punch to Omega-Ton's face knocking him back to the ground in an unconscious heap.
Ember groaned as she rubbed her head. Her eyes landed on the remains of a robot arm and an idea came to her. Ember picked up a couple robot arms and charged at Fury. Fury fired an energy blast at Ember, but she dodged it. Ember got close to Fury, wrapping the robot arms around him, and using her powers to fuse the robot arms together around Fury tying him up. Ember kicked Fury to the ground. Fury rolled around trying to get up, but couldn't.
Talley faced off against Crusher again. Crusher swung one of his upper arms at Talley, who deflected it away. Crusher swung one of his lower arms at Talley, but she blocked it. Talley then delivered a powerful punch to Crusher's gut making him stagger back. Crusher staggered back in pain. Talley ran forward and delivered a powerful uppercut to Crusher's face knocking him to the ground in an unconscious heap.
Talley and Ember looked around at all the defeated gladiators and robots.
"Terror and Scorcher have won! They are our new champions!" Called the announcer.
The crowd cheered as Talley and Ember waved at them.
In the private booth Ronald was starring at his defeated gladiators in shock and anger. He failed to see a tiny green glowing dot fly into the room and next to Lucy's ear. It was Gaz reporting in and telling Lucy what she learned. Lucy nodded thanks and faced Ronald as Gaz flew away to hide in the air vent.
"It appears my gladiators won." Said Lucy.
"So it would appear." Muttered Ronald.
"Say I'm in the market for some new gladiators. You wouldn't happen to know anyone, whose selling fighters would? I'd be happy to pay you if you introduce me to them." Said Lucy.
Ronald scratched his beard in thought.
"Very well, I will introduce to a person, who supplies me with gladiators. In fact I'm supposed to meet with him after the Gladiator Games." Said Ronald.
"That sounds good. Where at?" Said Lucy.
"In one of the docking bays." Said Ronald.
"Let me grab my gladiators and I'll join you." Said Lucy.
"Very well." Said Ronald.
Lucy gathered Talley and Ember. The final part of their mission was soon to begin.
To be continued.
