Disclaimer: I don't own Ben Ten this is just a story just for fun.
Ben and Talley were hanging around Undertown with Rook, Lucy, Gaz, and Ember. Little did they know that they were being watched from the shadows. Darkstar watched the group from the top of a nearby building. Darkstar lifted a communicator to his mouth.
"Are you and the others in the position?" Asked Darkstar.
"Of course we are." Said Billy's voice.
"You know what to do. Cause a big scene fight them a little bit and leave. Ben will just see you as another super villain launching another revenge attack. Once you do your part Simian will give the To'kustar the special little gift you made. Ben won't know what hit him until it's to late." Said Darkstar.
"Yeah yeah. I know the plan. Just remember this may be your plan, but I'm still in charge." Said Billy.
"But of course. Are you sure your little toy will work?" Said Darkstar.
"Of course it will! I built it myself! I'm a genius after all." Said Billy.
"It better. The whole plan depends on it." Said Darkstar as he put the communicator away.
Down below in a alley Billy glared at the communicator in his hand. Mazuma stood nearby with Thumskull, Frightwing, and Acid Breath.
"I'm going show that guy whose really in charge once we deal with Ben." Muttered Billy as he put the communicator away.
Billy and the Vengers looked out of the alley at Simian who was sitting behind a jewelry stall. Simian shot Billy a thumbs up signaling him the Ben and the others were entering the shopping area. Billy and Mazuma stepped out of the alley and right in front of Ben, Talley and the rest of their group.
"Hello Ben." Said Billy.
"Hello Billy. Wheres the rest of your little team?" Asked Ben.
"Oh I got rid of them and recruited myself a new team. Vengers Vengeance!" Said Billy as took a dramatic pose.
Thumskull, Frightwing, and Acid Breath exited the alley and got behind Billy and Mazuma.
"You must really be scraping the bottom of the villain barrel to recruit these guys." Said Ben.
"Laugh while you can Tennyson. For today vengeance is mine! Vengers attack!" Said Billy as the villains charged forward.
"It's hero time!" Said Ben as he changed into Four Arms and locked hands with Thumskull.
Four Arms upper arms wrestled with Thumskull's arms. It seemed like the two of them were evenly matched, then the lower arms of Four Arms swung out and hit Thumskull in the belly several times knocking the wind out of him. Four Arms then threw Thumskull into a pile of trash cans.
"That was hands down one of the easiest fights I've ever had." Said Four Arms as he dusted himself off.
Frightwing was swing her hair around at Gaz. Gaz dodged about and shrunk to her one inch size. Frightwing looked around confused wondering where Gaz was. Gaz flew above Frightwing's head and landed on it. Gaz then unleashed a power burst of bioelecticity into Frightwing's body. All of Frightwing's hair stood up as she shouted in pain. After a few seconds Frightwing fell to the ground twitching. Gaz flew away from Frightwing pumping her tiny fist in the air in victory.
Acid Breath was firing his foul breath at Lucy and Rook.
"You can't stop me!" I'm unstopp-" Began Acid Breath before a large glob of mud flew into his mouth and stopped him mid sentence.
Rook jumped forward and delivered a powerful kick to Acid Breath's chest knocking him to the ground.
"Yeah we rule!" Cheered Lucy.
Talley and Ember were facing off against Mazuma. The android flipped through the air and kicked Ember to the ground. Talley charged at Mazuma throwing a punch. Mazuma dodged it and threw a punch of her owns hitting the side of Talley's fin. Talley shouted in pain as she fell to her back. Mazuma closed in on Talley ready to deal out more damage. Mazuma hands turned into claws as she prepared to bring them down on Talley. Mazuma swung her claws at Talley, but something grabbed Mazuma from behind stopping her attack. Mazuma turned to see Four Arms glaring at her.
"Don't ever mess with my friends!" Roared Four Arms before he hurled Mazuma into the air!
Mazuma flew several yards before crashing to the ground with a thud. Mazuma staggered to her feet sparking. The rest of the Vengers staggered to their feet just barely conscious. Billy looked at his team nervously, before glancing over at Four Arms who was helping Talley up. Four Arms and Talley faced Billy who was sweating.
"So you fill like doing this the easy way or the hard way? Either way is good with me." Said Four Arms as he cracked his knuckles.
Billy reached into his pocket pulled out a weird circular device and threw it to the ground. The device exploded creating a large cloud of smoke.
"You may have won this round Tennyson, but you haven't heard the last of us! Vengers retreat!" Shouted Billy as he took off in his jetpack followed by the rest of the Vengers.
The smoke cleared and the Vengers were gone. Four Arms changed back into Ben.
"Well that was easy." Said Ben before turning to Talley. "You alright?" He asked.
"I'm ok. Thanks for the save." Said Talley with a smile.
"No problem." Said Ben with a smile.
A bunch of the stall owners came up to the group cheering for Ben and the others. One of the stall owners was Simian.
"Great job Ben! You really showed those guys!" Cheered Simian.
Ben eyed Simian with a curious look.
"What are you doing here Simian? Your not trying to scam and steal from somebody are you?" Asked Ben.
"Of course not! I own a jewelry stall. I am running a one hundred precent legit businesses." Said Simian as he showed them his business papers.
"His papers look like they check out." Said Rook as he studied the papers.
"Hey tell you what, why don't I show you some of my ware. You can get a little something for your girlfriend Ben." Said Simian as he indicated Talley with one of his hands.
"Were...just really good friends." Said Ben as his checks flushed a little.
"Sure you are. Come on I have just the thing for her." Said Simian as he lead Ben to his stall.
Simian ducked into the and came back with a box that had a silver band like object with a blue gem in it.
"Now this here is a fin band. Great for any alien with a fin. Trust me your friend will love it." Said Simian.
"Ok how much?" Asked Ben.
"It's your lucky day. I have a good deal for you. Seven Taydenite." Said Simian.
"Ok. Deal." Said Ben as he fished the gems out of his pocket and gave them to Simian.
"Pleasure doing business with you." Said Simian as he handed the fin band to Ben.
Ben walked away towards Talley.
"What do you have there?" Asked Talley.
"Oh...just a little something for you." Said Ben as he opened up the box and showed Talley the fin band.
"Ben you shouldn't have!" Said Talley as she looked at the fin band.
"It's the least I could do. You've been a really good friend and teammate." Said Ben as he handed Talley the fin band.
"Thanks." Said Talley as she slipped the fin band onto her fin. "How do I look?" She asked.
"You look pretty good." Said Ben with a smile.
"Thanks." Said Talley.
The two of them rejoined the rest of the group and walked away. None of them noticed that the gem in the fin band glowed for a few seconds. Simian watched Ben and the group leave as he smiled evilly. Simian pulled out a communicator and contacted Darkstar.
"They took it." Said Simian.
"Excellent work. Meet us at Captain Kork's ship." Said Darkstar.
Simian put the communicator away and ran off down a tunnel.
In a large cavern a few miles away from Undertown Captain Kork's ship was getting a huge upgrade. A large plasma cannon was being attached to the front of the ship by Captain Kork's henchmen the Mechaneer. Captain Kork stood with Rojo by his side as they oversaw the project. Darkstar arrived on the scene and nodded with approval. Next to arrive were Billy, Mazuma, Thumskull, Frightwing, Acid Breath, and Simian.
"Ok wise guy we did what you told us to do. Now remind us exactly how was that supposed to help us beat Ben?" Said Billy as he glared at Darkstar.
"It was to put Ben and his group off guard. They'll think that attack you launched was your big plan and that was the full force of your team. They do not suspect the real threat and they have no clue who else is working with you." Said Darkstar.
"I suppose your plan makes sense." Grumbled Billy.
"I'm pleased your understand." Said Darkstar.
"There's just one thing that's been bothering me." Said Billy.
"And what is that?" Asked Darkstar.
"What's your deal with Tennyson? Everyone here is a criminal so they've clashed with Ben a few times. I myself was transported to another dimension because of Ben and trapped there a few years and thanks to that dimensions having time-distortion effect I'm stuck being a kid for the rest of my life. So what exactly did Ben do to you?" Said Billy.
"Ben Tennyson and his friends cost me everything! I was once handsome and powerful, but then Ben and his group ruined everything! They didn't approve of what I was doing with my powers and they attacked me leaving me nearly desiccated and powerless. The pain they caused me was unimaginable. My powers returned and I became stronger, however I was permanently scared and left disfigured. Now I'm forced to ware this mask. Let me show you all what Ben and his little group did to me. Then you'll understand my hatred and reasons for revenge." Said Darkstar as he lifted his hands up and removed his mask.
All the Vengers let out a gasp of horror at Darkstar's zombie like appearance. Billy looked absolutely terrified. Darkstar chuckled coldly as he put his mask back on.
"Compared to me all your desires for revenge are pitiful." Said Darkstar as he walked over to the plasma cannon and examined it. "Billy is your little control device ready?" He asked.
Billy pulled out a device that looked like a video game controller. He tapped a few buttons on it and a holographic screen appeared above the controller showing Ben, Rook, Lucy, Ember, and Gaz walking forward through Undertown. A smaller holographic screen appeared showing a bunch of readings.
"Everything is good. We can take control of Ben's little girlfriend whenever we want." Said Billy.
"Good. We shall strike soon. Ben's little girlfriend will be the bait and she will lure Ben right to his doom. He won't know what hit him. His energy will be mine and after his out of the way I'll pay a little visit to the lovely Gwen and that troglodyte Kevin. Vengeance shall be mine!" Declared Darkstar.
"At long last Ben. I shall have my revenge." Thought Billy with glee as he glared at the holographic image of Ben.
To be continued.
