Disclaimer: I don't own Ben Ten this is just a story just for fun.
Several lightyears from Earth the Incursean fleet was flying through space. On the lead ship Attea was tapping the arm of her control chair in annoyance. Before her was a view screen showing her the latest footage of Ben fighting evil alongside Talley.
Attea was furious with Ben. She still somewhat had a crush on him, but she now knew that wasn't going to go anywhere. Another thing that made Attea mad was that Ben kept interfering with her plans. Every time Attea and her forces tried to conquer a planet or something Ben would interfere and ruin everything. The name of the Incursean Empire was being insulted and the Empire's goal for universal conquest was being ruined by Ben. It had gotten so bad that the Incurseans were staring to question Attea's leadership skills. It wouldn't be long until there was some kind of rebellion formed to overthrow Attea.
Attea glared at Ben and Talley on the screen. She had to make some kind of example out of Ben to show the universe that no one messed with the Incursean Empire and got away with it. Attea looked at Talley and considered making an example out of her to get to Ben. At that moment Dr. Psychobos scuttled by and saw the screen. He got closer to look at it.
"My. My. What's this?" He said as he studied the screen. "It's that To'kustar that helped Tennyson ruin our plans on the To'kustar home world!" He snarled.
"Wait that To'kustar with Tennyson helped ruin one our plans? Another reason to go after her then." Said Attea.
Raff, who was working on a computer looked over at the view screen.
"If that girls a To'kustar how is she able to change size?" He asked.
"Obviously she is wearing some kind of size altering device on her person. It's an easy device to make." Said Dr. Psychobos.
"Why didn't you make devices like that when we went to capture those To'kustars? Wouldn't it have been easier to capture them if they were smaller?" Asked Raff.
"Um...it was an option, but I just simply didn't have the time." Said Dr. Psychobos.
"Sure you did." Muttered Raff under his breath.
"Psychobos can you mass produce those To'kustar size changing devices if we caught the girl and yanked it off of her?" Asked Attea.
"It would be a simple matter." Said Dr. Psychobos.
"Alright then. Raff ready a transport shuttle. We're going to do a little hunting." Said Attea with a wicked grin.
Thirty minutes later a medium size shuttle flew from the command ship and flew towards Earth. Inside the ship was Attea, Dr. Psychobos, and about thirty Incurseans. The ship warped to Earth and landed near the outskirts of Bellwood in a hidden hanger. Attea went through a tunnel and made her way to Undertown. When she finally arrived she made her way down the street until she came across a bar with a sign that read "The Black Hole". Attea smirked as she walked to the bar and walked in.
The Black Hole was a notorious hangout for all matter of criminals. All the bar customers looked up at Attea as she entered. Attea marched up to the bar like she owned the place as she glanced around to see who she was dealing with. In one booth she saw the bounty hunters Sixsix, Sevenseven, and Eighteight. Attea had employed the bounty hunters before and knew that they were good at their job, Attea had something bigger planned for Ben and Talley. She saw Psyphon sitting at the bar and headed towards him.
Psyphon sat at the bar taking sips of a drinking thinking about his life. At one point he had been the right-hand man of Vilgax, but then Psyphon had decided to go out on his own to make a name for himself as a criminal mastermind. Psyphon had experienced some minor success, but Ben and Rook would always show up and thwart his plans. Psyphon was one of the most feared criminals in Undertowen, but he had a great sense of failure. It was times like this that he consider going back to Vilgax and begging to be his servant. Psyphon was interrupted from his train of thought, by someone sitting next to him. He turned and saw Attea sitting next to him.
"Hello Psyphon I have a little proposition for you." Said Attea with a smirk.
Psyphon was weary of Attea. The Incursean Empire has a long and hated rivalry with Vilgax's empire and Attea was said to be more vicious then her father Emperor Milleous.
"What would the leader of the Incursean Empire want with me?" Asked Psyphon.
"I hear your the guy to ask for you if you want a job done. I have a little job and I decided to ask the locals for help with." Said Attea.
"Ok. What's the job and exactly what are you paying?" Asked Psyphon.
"Tennyson has a girlfriend that happens to be a To'kustar with a size changing device. I want the girl brought to me and I want Ben to be hurt in the process. I'll pay you in Taydenite and if you really impresses me I might consider making you a general in the Incursean Empire." Said Attea.
That got Psyphon's attention. Perhaps this was a sigh of his luck changing.
"You have yourself a deal." Said Psyphon as he stuck his hand out and Attea shook it.
"Good. Here's a picture of the girl and the location you need to bring her to." Said Attea as she handed Psyphon a data pad that showed Psyphon a picture of Talley.
"It shall be done." Said Psyphon.
"Happy hunting." Said Attea as she stood up and left the bar.
Every criminal turned to look at Psyphon. Psyphon got up from his seat and stood on the bar, so everyone could see him.
"Listen up everyone. I've just accepted an important job from Princess Attea of the Incursean Empire. She wants us to capture this girl and bring her to the Incurseans." Said Psyphon as he held up the data pad displaying the picture of Talley. "There is a big reward for this girl and I'm happy to split it with everyone who helps me with this mission."
All the bounty hunters and criminals pulled out their weapons and cracked their knuckles. It was a huge crowd. Psyphon sent a picture of Talley to all the bounty hunters and criminal's communicators. Soon they all left searching for Talley.
It was a big group that consisted of Liam, Trumbipulor, Thunderpig, Bubble Helmet, Sixsix, Sevenseven, Eighteight, Sunder, Fistrick, Corvo, Tummyhead, Sweet-Eles, Bug-Lite, Octagon, Rhomboid, Gorvan, and Kraab. The criminals split up to search for Talley. Psyphon stayed at the Black Hole to coordinate the search.
Ben and Talley were hanging around the shopping center of Undertown. Ben wanted to get Talley something special. Ben was looking at one stall, when he heard some shouting from the crowd. He turned to see Fistrick, Corvo, Octagon, and Rhomboid making their way through the crowd armed with guns towards Ben and Talley.
"Looks like trouble." Said Ben as he faced the four criminals.
The villains pointed their weapons at Talley.
"We not interested in you this time Tennyson. We're after your little girlfriend. So why don't you be a good bro and just let us have her." Said Fistrick.
"What do you want with me?" Asked Talley.
"Oh it's not us who want you, it's our employer." Said Corvo.
"Who hired you?" Demanded Ben.
"We ain't telling you nothing." Said Octagon.
"Well I guess I'll have to beat it out of you!" Said Ben as he hit the Omintrix and transformed into Rath. "Let me tell you something assorted group of criminals! Rath doesn't like it when people threaten his girlfriend! That makes Rath angry!"
The hunters except for Fistrick took a step back. Fistrick grinned evily.
"Oh you mad bro? Then come at me bro!" He shouted.
Rath roared and charged at the hunters. The hunters immediately started firing at Rath. Rath jumped into the air pouncing at the hunters. Octagon and Corvo managed to scramble out of the, while Fistrick and Rhomboid got tackled by Wrath and crashed into the ground. Fistrick and Rhomboid quickly got to their feet to fight Rath.
"That all you got bro?" Challenged Fistrick.
"Rath is just getting started!" Shouted Rath as he charged swinging his fist at Fistrick.
On the sidelines Octagon and Corvo watched the fight. They took notice of Talley and saw their chance to snatch her. Corvo pulled out his communicator and pushed a button alerting the other hunters of their location, before he and Octagon moved in on Talley.
"Hello there miss. If you would so kindly surrender yourself into our custody and come quietly with us we would really appreciate it." Said Octagon as he pointed his gun at Talley.
Talley looked at Octagon and raised her hands as if she were surrendering, then in one fluid motion she kicked Octagon in the chest, sending him flying, and crashing into a fruit stand. Octagon laid in a pile of squished fruit moaning. Corvo just stared in under shock at the defeated Octagon. Before he could think of doing anything Talley slapped his gun away and delivered a powerful punch to his face knocking him out.
"Well that takes care of that." Said Talley as she dusted her hands off.
Talley then saw Bubble Helmet, Bug-Lite, Sweet-Eles, and Liam making their way towards her with guns. Talley touched her device and grew to ten feet before charging at the hunters.
Meanwhile Rath was still fighting Fistrick and Rhomboid. Rath punched Fistrick and knocked him into a clothes stand, while Rhomboid got up behind Rath and wrapped his arms around him. Rath slammed his head back into Rhomboid's face making him let go. Rath then grabbed Rhomboid and hurled him at a wall making him crash and fall to the ground in an unconscious heap. Fistrick swung a fist at Rath. Rath caught it and Fistrick swung his other fist at him, only to have Rath catch it to. Rath glared at Fistrick.
"Headbutt!" Shouted Rath as he slammed his head into Fistrick's face!
Rath released Fistrick, who staggered back dizzily.
"Not...cool...bro." Muttered Fistrick, before he fell to the ground in an unconscious heap.
Rath turned to see that Talley had just finished off the other hunters. Talley returned to her human hight and gave Rath a thumbs up, when suddenly Trumbipulor smashed through a stall and grabbed Talley pinning her arms to her side.
"Talley!" Shouted Rath as he tried to get to Talley, but was stopped by Tummyhead and Thunderpig.
Thunderpig swung his energy flail at Rath forcing him back. As this was going on Eighteight and Sevenseven appeared next to Talley and Trumpilor. Eighteight put a gas mask like device over Talley's mouth. Talley trashed around before she lost consciousness. Trumpilor released Talley and handed her to Sevenseven. The armored bounty hunter took off into the air carrying Talley. Eighteight followed with her jetpack, while Trumpilor took off at a run.
"Talley!" Shouted Rath as he watched the bounty hunters get away.
Tummyhead charged at Rath, who slammed a fist into him knocking him down into an unconscious heap. Thunderpig swung his energy flail at Rath, but he easily dodged it.
"Lights out pork chop!" Shouted Rath as he delivered a powerful uppercut to Thunderpig's chin and knocked him to the ground unconscious.
Rath changed back into Ben and pulled out his communicator.
"Rook. Talley was just kidnapped by bounty hunters. I need you and Lucy's team here in Undertown." Said Ben.
"Will be there as soon as we can." Replied Rook.
Ben put his communicator away.
"Don't worry Talley. Will rescue you." Vowed Ben as he waited for the others to arrive.
To be continued.
