Disclaimer: I don't own Ben Ten this is just a story just for fun.
Lucy gathered up Talley and Ember. Gaz in her micro size came out of hiding and hitched a ride behind Talley's head fin. Ronaldo and his two bodyguards lead the group to one of the more deserted hangers to meet with his gladiator provider. There were only two ships in the hanger a long pointy orange one and a large square violet ship. Six men wearing purple suits and mask stood around the ship armed with laser guns. Ronaldo approached one of the men.
"I'm here to do a little business with Otto." Said Ronaldo.
"Who are they?" Asked the man as he pointed at Lucy and her team.
"Just a fellow business man and his gladiators, wanting to see what y'all had in stock." Said Ronaldo.
"Fine." Said the man as he walked over to the and banged on the side of it.
The large door of the back of the ship started to lower down. Ronaldo turned to Lucy and her group.
"Word of warning. Don't stare at Otto with any odd looks, he tends to get a little mad at people who do that." Said Ronald.
The bodyguards nodded in agreement.
The ship door finally opened and out walked four more men in suits. The lead man was carrying a tiny silver robot, with two tiny arms with claws, and a purple holographic square head with horns.
"Ah Ronald good to see you, I see you brought another fine gentlemen looking for gladiators." Said the robot.
"This is Charles and his gladiators, his interested in purchasing some more gladiators." Said Ronald.
"I see." Said Otto as he eyed Lucy and her group. "I must say those are some fine gladiators you have there. I can see, you have taste."
"Thanks. Now can I see what you have in stock?" Said Lucy.
"Oh of course." Said Otto.
A couple of Otto's men went into the ship and came back a few minutes latter escorting a group of aliens chained up in laser shackles. There were a couple of Tetramands, a Transylian, a Arachnichimp, and a Piscciss Volann with a device that gave it's gills water and a muzzle. The slaves were marched out and stood before everyone.
"As you an see we have a variety of aliens to choose from. My business is a solid state." Said Otto before he turned to Ronald. "Have you brought me the payment I asked for from our last deal?"
"Yeah, but those gladiators you gave me lost today's fight and cost me quit a deal of money." Said Ronald.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Tell you what you give me what I asked for and you can peak any alien I have in my inventory for free." Said Otto.
"Deal." Said Ronald as he walked over to the orange ship and pulled a briefcase out of it.
Ronaldo handed the briefcase to one of Otto's men. The henchmen walked over to Otto and opened it. Inside the case there was a clear glass container with what appeared to some kind of silver dust. Otto examined the container and seemed to be pleased.
"The latest in nano technology just like you asked." Said Ronald.
"Yes this will do nicely." Said Otto.
Ronald went over to examine the alien slaves. Lucy glanced over to her team and gave a slight nod. Lucy then turned to Otto.
"Where did you find all these aliens?" Asked Lucy.
"Oh here and there. I just simply snatched them all from their home planets. It was hard work, but the business is highly profitable." Said Otto.
"I see. Well then your all under arrest then." Said Lucy as she spoke in her regular voice.
All the criminals watched in shock as Lucy transformed into her full Lenopan form and pulled out a Plumbers badge as Gaz came out of hiding from behind Talley's fin and grew to her full size. Talley, Ember, and Gaz took up combat positions next to Lucy.
"Your all under arrest for illegal slave and technology trading." Said Lucy.
Otto turned to glare at Ronald.
"You brought a bunch of Plumbers to my business?" Demanded Otto.
"I dint...know." Stammered Ronald.
"Imbecile." Muttered Otto.
Before any of the criminals could do anything Lucy fired a blast of mud knocking a couple of Otto's men to the ground. Otto quickly gave orders to the rest of his men.
"Destroy the Plumbers and get rid of Ronald!" Command Otto.
The henchmen started to fire at everybody. Ronald's Vreedle bodyguards quickly stepped in front of their boss as they pulled out their blasters and started to fire at the Plumbers and Otto's men.
"Dang nab it! I'm getting out of here! You two cover me." Said Ronald as he pulled a small blaster out of his jacket and made a beeline for his ship.
One of the Vreedle bodyguards charged at Talley swinging his gun at her like a club. Talley dodged the blow, grabbed the Vreedle by his suit, and hurled him at three of Otto's men knocking them down in a heap.
The other Vreedle bodyguard charged at Lucy, who had taken on her more humanoid Lenopan form. The Vreedle went right through Lucy and only received a bunch of mud on his face and clothes. Lucy laughed as she reformed herself and fired a small burst of mud at the Vreedle's feet making him slip and fall to the ground with a loud thud. The Vreedle just groaned in pain as he laid on the ground.
"I'm going to have to consider hiring better bodyguards." Thought Ronald as he crouched behind his ship and watched the fight.
Ember and Gaz were in a firefight with three of Otto's men. The two Plumbers were crouched behind a pillar taking cover. Gaz shrunk down to her inch size and flew forward until she was right in front of one of the henchmen. Gaz released a burst of bioelectic energy and knocked the henchman out. The other two henchmen glanced at their down comrade in confusion. Ember ran out from her hiding spot and delivered a powerful kick to the two henchmen knocking them out. Gaz grew back to her full hight. Ember then turned to the slaves. She walked over to them and blasted their shackles with a small concentrated blast of fire. The slaves rubbed their wrist as their shackles fell to the floor.
"Thank you." Said the Transylian.
"All part of the job." Said Ember.
"It appears it's time to bring out the heavy artillery." Said Otto to his remaining two henchmen.
The henchmen ran into their ship carrying Otto and the suitcase. In the ship there were a few crates. The henchman carrying Otto sat him down on one of the crates. Otto raised his claws and a bunch of wires shot out of the crate wrapping around him and attaching him to a large robotic body. Several wires shot out of the body attaching different robot parts to the main body. The henchman carrying the case opened it and loaded the container into one of the slots on the body.
"Lets see how those Plumbers deal with my new body!" Said Otto as he walked over to one of the ship walls and smashed through it.
On the outside everybody stared in shock as the side of Otto's ship was ripped off and out stepped Otto in a thirty foot tall robot body. Otto's body had four spidery legs, a massive chest, a right arm that had a large cannon attachment, and a left arm with a large blade attachment. Otto's holographic head appeared at the top of the robot.
"Hello Plumbers. I just had a huge upgrade. With this power I will create a new criminal empire!" Declared Otto.
"Whoa somebody sure has an ego." Said Lucy as she and the rest of the Plumbers faced Otto.
"Insolent Plumbers! You shall be the first to fall by my hands!" Shouted Otto.
"Your not the only one with a few surprises." Said Talley as she hit the device on her arm and grew to thirty feet.
Otto just glared at Talley and charged forward swing the the arm with the blade attachment at her. The blade glowed with energy as it whistled through the air. Talley leaped back dodging Otto's mad swings. Otto brought his blade up for a downwards swing and swung it down at Talley. Talley shot both her arms up and caught the blade between her hands. Otto pressed down hard trying to bring the blade slicing down on Talley. Talley strained against Otto's arm trying to keep the blade from coming down on her. Otto decided to change tactics and brought the arm with the cannon attachment up to fire a point blank shot at Talley. Talley's eyes widened in horror as the cannon charged up.
"Hey tin can! Eat fire!" Shouted Ember as she ran to Talley's aid and blasted Otto's cannon with fire.
The cannon arm exploded and fell off! Otto screamed in shock, as Talley took advantage of his distraction and used her strength rip Otto's blade arm off and deliver a powerful punch to Otto's chest denting the metal and sending Otto crashing to the other side of the hanger.
"Well that takes of that." Said Ember as she and the other Plumbers looked at the down Otto.
"Oh I'm far from done." Said Otto.
The Plumbers watched in amazement as Otto's arms healed up and reattach themselves to Otto. The damage Talley had dealt to Otto's vanished.
"Fools! I am invincible!" Laughed Otto as he stood up fully repaired.
"Um...what just happened?" Asked Talley.
"Oh...no! That nano technology Ronald gave to Otto must be some kind of advance instant repair system!" Exclaimed Gaz.
"Ok...so any ideas on how to stop it?" Asked Ember.
Gaz thought for a moment. Then she had an idea.
"Ok I need you to create an opening in his armor for me to get inside. Once I'm there I'll try to find all the nano machines and take them out." Said Gaz.
"Sounds good. Alright Gaz will go for it." Said Lucy.
"I'll make us an opening." Said Talley as she charged at Otto.
Lucy ran besides Talley and shot some mud at Otto's spider legs making the ground slippery. Otto stepped in it and became unbalanced. Talley delivered a powerful punch to Otto's chest creating a large hole. Gaz raced towards the hole as she shrank down to her nano size. Gaz flew through the hole just a few seconds before it closed up. Gaz found herself inside the inner workings of Otto. She watched in amazement as some nano machines flew by after repairing the recent hole. The nano machines resembled tiny flies with claws.
"Time to do a little extermination." Said Gaz as she flew after the flies and began blasting them with her bioelectic attacks.
The nano machines were created to repair machines they were not built to deal with nano size attackers. Gaz hunted them down as they raced off to repair damages inflected on Otto as he fought the Plumbers. Gaz also caused some minor damage to some of Otto's parts to attract them to her. After a few minutes all the nano machines were destroyed.
On the outside Otto was still fighting the Plumbers. At first the nano machines would instantly repair any damage inflected on him, but then the repairs became slower and slower over the course of time. Ember fired a fire blast at Otto's blade arm knocking it off. Otto tried to bring up the cannon arm, but Talley appeared and yanked it off. Otto waited for the nano machines to start reaping him, but nothing happened. Panic took ahold of Otto as Talley fire a cosmic blast at him and knocked him to the ground. Otto's body laid on the ground sparking. Lucy walked over to the body and pulled the real Otto out holding him like a trophy.
"Victory!" She shouted.
Gaz flew out of the wreckage and grew to her full size.
"That was tough." She said as she wiped her brow.
"You did great." Said Talley as she shrunk down to her human hight.
"Curse you!" Shouted Otto.
"Shut up you tin can." Said Ember.
"Hey what happened to Ronald?" Asked Gaz.
It was then that they heard the sound of a ship starting up. Everybody turned to see Ronald in his ship. The ship raced towards one of the hanger walls and blasted a hole through it. The ship raced through the hole as the vacuum of space started to suck at everybody. Everybody in the hanger desperately grabbed a hold of something to hold onto. Talley looked at the hole and an idea came to mind. She stabbed her fingers into the ground and yanked out a huge sheet of metal.
"What are you doing?" Shouted Ember.
"I'm going after Ronald, you need to seal up that hole." Called Talley as she leaped towards the hole with her sheet of metal behind her.
Talley went thought the hole as the metal blocked it. Ember came forward and used her powers to weld the metal to the hole.
"Good luck Talley." Thought Ember.
Talley floated through space. Since she was a To'kustar she could breath in space. Talley looked ahead and spotted Ronald's ship. There was no way for Talley to catch up to him unless. Talley tapped the device on her arm and started growing. She grabbed the side of the Mercury Magnum with her left hand and stretched her right hand towards Ronald's ship as she continued to grow. Ronald was congratulating himself on his escape from the Plumbers, when he happened to glance at one of his ships side mirrors and notice a giant hand coming up behind his ship.
"What in tarnation?!" Screamed Ronald in fear as the giant hand clamped around his ship.
Talley was at her full size as she dragged Roland's ship up to her face.
"You are under arrest." Boomed Talley as she looked in the ship at Roland.
Roland just stared at Talley in fear and fainted. Talley just shrugged her shoulders and started crawling across the Mercury Magnus looking for another hanger to get into the ship.
Several minutes later Talley was back inside the Mercury Magnus and dressed in her Plumbers uniform hanging with her teammates. Several more Plumbers were on the scene escorting a handcuffed Otto and Ronald. Another group of Plumbers were escorting the alien slaves to a shuttle to take them back to their home planets. Lucy was talking with another Plumber. After awhile she turned to her teammates.
"Great job everyone. The mission was a success! I've just spoken to command and we've been assigned to Earth. Will be leaving in three days." Said Lucy.
The three Plumbers cheered. Talley was excited, she held captured some dangerous criminals and now she was heading to Earth. Soon she would see Ben again.
To be continued.
