Hey everyone. Welcome back to another action pack chapter of the Cross Dimensional Adventures of Ben 10: Hero meets Heroines.
I'll like to apologize for holding this chapter hostage. I decided to do that because I wasn't sure if anyone was still interested in this story. But I'm glad to see that a good number of people still do. For that I'll like to say a big THANK YOU!
Now on to the chapter
Chapter 7: Nightly Adventure Part 2
"Don't you think you were a little hard on him?" Ben faked a chuckle as an anime sweat drop appeared on his face.
"Huh?"
Looking at the branch of a tree, Chad dangled by his underwear with dizzy eyes on his face. The poor teen had gotten Bubbles angry, making the next few minutes very regrettable. It was so bad that if Buttercup was with them she would be so proud of what her sister did. The upper side of his armor was gone along with the right wrist and the left leg.
Bubbles blinked twice as she came to realize what she did, "Oh…uh I guess I got carried away a little."
"You think?" Ben said while avoiding the urge to facepalm. So instead he let out a forced sigh, "Well now you've traumatized the guy, let's go get your paintings."
Bubbles snapped to full attention and took off to the skies in a flash, "I'm coming babies!"
"Wow." Ben only blinked at her reaction.
**************************************)
Some minutes later Bubbles and Ben arrived at the west coast of Townsville. They passed by the bridge linking the city to another city and flew into the waters. Fortunately, Bubbles didn't need oxygen to breath while Ben was Jetray which gave him the same advantage. They both flew to the shallow side and began to scan around.
"This is the place Chad told us." Bubbles stated while looking around.
"Yeah, but where's the base?" Jetray wondered.
"Let me try something."
Bubbles flew a few meters forward. Her eyes became bright blue which then shine like flash light and scan the area. She used this ability –her X-ray vision- to scan for any hidden areas. It didn't take long before she spotted a lever by a rocky wall.
"Found it." Bubbles said and pointed.
Jetray went over to it and pulled the lever just as Bubbles flew close. The rocky wall and slide open, revealing itself to be the entrance of a secret passage way. The water around them began to flow into the open place, forcing both heroes in. The only thing they could do was scream as they were forced in before the secret entrance closed.
The excess water taken inside began to drain out of open drainages within a large room. When it was all gone, both Ben and Bubbles lay on the ground unconscious. Now human, Ben spat out water while Bubbles began to regain consciousness. Her eyes looked around foggy until she rubbed them and got a better view.
"Where are we?" She asked.
Ben coughed a bit and rubbed his eyes, "Huh?"
Both heroes got up to their feet and got a good look of the place. They were in a huge white room with electrical ceiling lights. There were a few fishes flopping on the white ground helpless and a few crates strapped to the ground. Likely the fishes were there due to the rushed in water and the strapped down crates were to avoid the water from taking it away.
"I think we're in the place Chad told us." Ben finally said.
"Okay. But where's my…"
Ben slaps his mouth around Bubbles mouth, shutting the girl up. A round of footsteps was coming from a wall at their right. Bubbles heard it and quickly wrapped her hands around Ben. The Omnitrix bearer was surprised and almost about to question her until she flew them up to the ceiling. It didn't take long for some men dressed in ice cream uniforms to rush in.
The ice cream men scanned the area while wielding ice cream mechanized guns. It was most likely that Ben and Bubbles unintentionally sprung the alarms when they got in. But now that the ice cream men where there, the door was open.
Bubbles pointed to the entrance, which Ben acknowledged and nodded to her. The ice cream men had spread out to find the intruders, allowing both heroes to fly through the entrance unnoticed. They passed a corridor before finally stopping when no one was around.
Bubbles let Ben touch the ground as both of them let out a breath of relief.
"Wow that was close." Bubbles and Ben said simultaneously.
The two teens glanced at each other, surprised at what they said.
"Jinx!" Both shouted at each other.
"Dang it!"
"Not again!"
They ended up saying the same words at the same time. It then made them to laugh; such a relief they needed. Ben was the first to stop as he faced the situation at hand.
"Bubbles, I got a plan." Ben told her, which got the Powerpuff attention. He continued, "This whole place runs by electronics. If we're gonna find your paintings I'll just go Upgrade, find the nearest computer and find your paintings."
"That's great." Bubbles agreed and then pointed behind her, "or we can just follow that guy with the bag with my paintings."
"Huh?"
True to her words, a guy in black armor held a bag that held her paintings. Bubbles ran off to follow him as Ben blushed from embarrassment and followed. Together, they followed the man as he went to a door, typed a few passwords and walked in. The door slide open, long enough for him to walk through and the heroes before it then closed.
Both heroes found themselves in an open area filled with armored teen ninjas and different transportation. A small part of the ceiling opened, allowing a jet to fly in as the water above stayed in position. Several carts were driven to different sides and places of the base.
However Ben and Bubbles had to be careful to avoid being detected. They stood behind a big box and watched as the guy took the bag and gave it to a man in a white anti-infection suit. That person then walked into an elevator and was gone. They saw he was heading down.
"Shoot! We're gonna lose him!" Ben shouted, though not too loud.
Bubbles glanced at the elevator and then to another one next to it. Normally there would be the idea of following the guy, but one thing stood in their way. There were soldiers passing by and no other place to hide to avoid being detected. However the Powerpuff girl was clearly determined to follow that guy and recover her paintings.
Unexpectedly, she grabbed Ben's wrist and ran very fast. Her speed broke the time stream, allowing their surroundings to slow down. Anyone outside it would barely notice a blur passing them. Ben was even affected by the time stream but fortunately Bubbles was able to rip the elevator door open by pushing one side with her hand and the other with her leg. Once inside, she threw Ben to the wall and forced the doors closed.
Bubbles became exhausted and collapsed to the ground. The time stream finally resumed, with Ben resuming to his exact reaction from before.
"How are we…wait we're in?" Ben questioned as he looked around.
Indeed they were within the elevator, which surprised the young hero. He stood up to the ground and found Bubbles lying on the ground confused. His worries for the girl came up as he got on his knees.
"Bubbles, what happened? Are you okay?"
Bubbles heaved at each passing second, but managed to speak, "Did I get us in?"
"What?"
It then came to Ben's realization at what happened. Being a super powered hero with experiences of the time, Ben easily guessed that Bubbles must have broken through the time stream by using super speed. He didn't know that the girl or her sisters were even capable of that, but from the looks of it the cause of breaking the time stream exhausted her.
"Yes you did."
Bubbles smiled in relief and closed her eyes to rest. The brown haired teen let out a breath of relief and went to the elevator control panel and pushed the floor they intend to go.
****************************)
By the time the elevator ding, Ben and Bubbles quickly ran for cover to avoid getting seen. They got behind a machine, just in time as no one suspected their presence. The elevator had gone so down that they were now in the bottom part of the secret base. It was a good thing since Bubbles was able to rest just enough for them to get there.
Quietly they peeked to see what was unfolding. A large huge hole stood in the middle of the room with railings that surrounded it to avoid anybody from falling in. Some individuals stood around it, one of them being Mr. Boss. The rest was a group of kids who stood a lot close than anyone should and a man entirely black with yellow eyes and a pipe.
"Start the operation!" Mr. Boss ordered in a loud tone.
A group of ice cream men ran from different direction, with each holding a big bag of sugar. They ran to the huge mechanized hole and threw all the bags in.
"SUGAR!" They shouted.
Those men then ran off, giving way for men dressed in anti-infection suits to take their place and pour in a bag of spice.
"SPICE!"
"Oh no." Ben and Bubbles gasped in shock. Those were the sequence to that Professor Utonium used to make the Powerpuff girls.
"That's the Professor's formula." Ben said in an intense tone, "If your paintings are here then that means that…"
"They're gonna use it as one of the ingredients!" Bubbles cried out shock.
Mr. Boss held his hand up as the spice was poured in. The female robber from earlier took the bag of paintings along with other armored teenagers. Each person had a bag filled with precious kids and teen items such as toys, makeup, roller skates, clothes and of course Bubbles paintings.
"Unleash them!" Mr. Boss ordered.
"NO!"
Bubbles couldn't take the pain of losing her paintings anymore. The Powerpuff girl flew off to the female ninja to take them away. She knocked the girl to the girl, but it was too late. The paintings and other ingredients were poured into the hole and mixed with the others. Bubbles was distracted as she watched in horror as her paintings were gone, that she got shot to the head by an energy beam from the ninja.
Mr. Boss became alarmed and turned to the hiding spot Bubbles came up. He saw Ben and shouted, "Get that intruder!"
It didn't take long before Ben was captured too. They had come in so fast that before Ben could slam the watch to change into an alien, he was already taken away. He and the unconscious Bubbles were presented before Mr. Boss who smug at them.
"Well I guess the jig is up, 'Mr. Daniel Fenton' and uh…" Mr. Boss said with a stop as he realized Bubbles was unconscious. He scolded, "Can someone wake her up!? I have to monologue here."
"Yes sir!" Responded a teen.
That teen came with a bucket of water and dumped it on Bubbles. The Powerpuff girl immediately gasped for air before a black collar was clasped on her neck. Her reflex made her to try and remove it which sent powerful jolts of electricity to shock her.
Ben glared at the man and yelled, "You son of a- AAHHH!"
One of the teen soldiers shocked Ben with an electric glove. The brown haired hero screamed from the pain until the person drew it back.
Mr. Boss smirked, "Don't talk back at me you little brat! You and that ungrateful Powerpuff should be happy we used her paintings as part of our plan!"
"Wh-What plan?" Ben managed to say while weakened.
"Haha! A plan to finally outmatch those snorts nose brats, The Kids Next Door!"
"Uh what?"
Mr. Boss was taken aback, "The Kids Next Door! Everyone knows about those meddling brats!"
Ben thought about it but couldn't understand who they are. It became logical to know that whoever those guys are, they were the good guys since the bad guys were so intent to get rid of them.
The Omnitrix bearer formed a smirk as his head was low, "Well…I hope they sure kick your butt after this."
Mr. Boss let out an angry yell and raised his hand to backhand Ben. His hand came close to Ben's face but never came to hit him. Instead a voice of firm and strict authority yelled.
"Mr. Boss!" Shouted the man in complete black.
"Huh?" Mr. Boss looked back and bowed his head down, "Sorry, Father. I was just…"
"No time for talking." Father interrupted him, "My Delightful children and I came to see what your months of building has led to! You promised me a weapon that will render the Kids Next Door useless! All I had to do was pay for this entire base while you handled the resources with your wealth! I definitely didn't come here to watch you bicker with two young teenagers!"
Mr. Boss stood silence and took in the yelling. As much as he hated being bossed around he knew that with the combined power of him and Father, they could stand the chance to defeat their enemies once and for all. Maybe after this he'll make Father pay for the humiliation.
"Of course." He nodded.
The bald headed man drew out a small box from his suit and displayed it, "Behold, the last component needed to complete the creation."
Bubbles's attention was gotten from that statement. The pain from the shock had left her feeling hurt but it went away. Apparently the collar had the ability to suppress her powers, making her as weak as a normal human girl. So, just as everyone was listening to Mr. Boss at that moment she was also listening and was baffled.
"Don't do this!" She retaliated. This got the attention of Mr. Boss and others who now had their eyes on her. At this point she had tears in her eyes, "Making another Powerpuff girl is very dangerous! You can't do this!"
Another wave of painful voltage shocked Bubbles. She cried out in pain, which made Ben angry.
"Leave her alone, you freak!"
Mr. Boss gritted his teeth in anger and backhanded Ben. He said nothing else as he turned back and opened the box. Inside it was a string of brown hair which he then pushed into the mechanized hole. That little hair fell to the very bottom of the mixed components and sank in.
A moment of silence took the air as all eyes were at the hole. Ben and Bubbles were among the people as they watched with fearful eyes at what could happen. Then suddenly the ground began to shake violently that made everyone present to stumble. A loud explosion erupted from the whole and a splash of colorful energy went high in the air.
At this point everyone gawked at the sight before them. Multi-colored energy swarm around a big orb of white energy until it shined so brightly that it blinded everyone in the room. Fortunately everyone was able to shield their eyes. The light soon died down to reveal an unconscious teenage girl with brown hair hovering in the air.
Everyone was wide eyed with mouth open. Mr. Boss has completed something nobody thought could be possible. He has successfully created a Powerpuff girl, their very own weapon against the Kids Next Door.
Mr. Boss smiled widely and began to chuckle. He could imagine all the ways they could destroy the Kids Next Door organization with their new weapon. It had taken months of planning, spending money and waste of resources and now his goal has been completed.
However the same could not go for Ben and Bubbles. The Omnitrix Bearer was shocked to see another Powerpuff girl that was not from the girls. He looked at her in detail and noticed what she wore and has. Her hair was a long pony tail that reached all the way to her waist. She wore a purple shirt which had a triangle shape shot that showed her breast cleavage and wore black pants.
Bubbles began to form tears in her eyes as a familiar face flashed before her eyes. The girl looked almost like a sister the Powerpuff Girls once when they were little girls. But due to an incident involving the unstable Chemical X she possessed, she died. So now seeing a girl that looked exactly like the sister she lost made her sad.
"Bunny." Bubbles whispered.
Mr. Boss decided then to break the silence. He raised his hands up and called out the girl, "Experiment 13!"
The girl's eye lids slowly flew open. She turned her body slowly and looked down at the man that called her. Bubbles gasped as tears came rushing down at the horror. She held her mouth to hold her voice from rising, but Ben could easily hear it. He casted an angry glare at Mr. Boss and knew right away that he would have to spring into action soon.
At the meantime the girl came closer to Mr. Boss. She had a look of curiosity and confusion, "Who am I, mister? I can't remember who I am."
"You're Experiment 13." Mr. Boss informed her, "You're sole purpose of your creation is to serve me and obey my orders without questioning."
"That's a lie!" Bubbles cried out. She kept crying as her eyes were on Experiment 13, "Your name is Bunny! You were actually created some years ago but you were too unstable. When my sisters and I were weakened and almost defeated, you came and saved us. But the unstable Chemical X within you became to unstable and you…died."
"SILENCE!" Shouted another ninja.
Again Bubbles got electrocuted and screamed in pain. Her voice grew so high that it could be heard all over the base. The Delightful children only giggled as they watched the Powerpuff girl's torture go on. Ben let a stream of tears form from his eyes as he looked away. It became too much for him to bear anymore.
Angrily, Ben got up and his head to the bottom chin of his captor, "Enough!"
The impact with the metal armor hurt Ben's heard but he couldn't care. He side tracked and grabbed a fist blow from another teen soldier before throwing that person over him to the ground. However both ninja he took down were able to get up and soon he found himself surrounded by more teen ninjas.
Mr. Boss watched with a smirk while his creation just eyed the whole situation. Bubbles was forced away from her friend despite her protests. When all hopes almost seem lost for Ben, a flash of light emitted from him. The teen soldiers suddenly were pushed away by a mighty fire blast.
"HEATBLAST!"
Standing in Ben's place was a nine foot tall alien. His body composed of molten rocks and fire. The Omnitrix symbol stayed on his chest.
The Teen Ninjas and other foot men stood, astonished at the sight. But none the less they stood ready to combat the alien before them. The alien hero walked towards Bubbles and broke the collar around her neck. The Powerpuff was relieved as she rubbed her neck to sooth the pain.
Heatblast turned away from his friend and faced his foes. Several Teen Ninjas began to surround him as they got about ready to attack the alien. The alien hero didn't care about what they could do. He sent a scowl on his face as his anger rose exponentially.
"You guys made Bubbles cry!" Heatblast yelled angrily, "You tortured and belittled her to a helpless girl! Now I'm gonna make you all hurt and regret ever being a part of it!"
"Attack!" Cried the leader of the Teen Ninjas.
Immediately, all Teen Ninjas charged at Heatblast and began shooting at him. However it seems to unfazed the hero as he just stood there. Once there were close, he swung his hand which released a huge blast wave of fire. Some of the Teen Ninjas were thrown to the ground while other jumped into the air to avoid getting hit.
From the air, the Teen Ninjas came with a kick. But for each teen that came, Heatblast got rid of them. He swats a few from his sight and then grabbed one by an ankle. Like a bat, he used that teen Ninjas to hit other upcoming Ninjas before tossing the ninja away. It was fortunate for some to land on their feet after getting hit, but couldn't be said for a few others. Heatblast powered up a fire ball and threw the fire ball to the ground. That fire burst into flames and sent a huge wave of flame that took all of them down.
Just when Ben thought things were over he was proven wrong. A sole remaining Teen Ninja came and kicked him from the back, sending him flying a few feet away. Fortunate enough, he was able to do a flip on the ground and face his foe.
The Teen Ninja stood straight. It was the same Ninja he faced in the arts building. Heatblast felt angry just to see her appearance, but watched as her face mask uncovered to reveal another face. Ben immediately knew her as the girl next to Chad that accompanied Mr. Boss on that night in the art place.
"Usually I deal with little brats but I never thought I'll fight a fellow teenager!" The teen snarled, "You may have taken down my comrades but you can't take me down. I am Cree of the Teen Ninjas and I'll make you pay for intruding!"
Cree's mask covered her face once more and she attacked. She charged at Heatblast and threw a punch at him. However her fist got caught by the alien before she was then lifted off the ground by the neck.
Heatblast looked angrily at her with the hotness glare he could make, "You're the one who's gonna pay! Bubbles worked so hard on those paintings and you stole them! Now I'm gonna make you feel hell on earth!"
Cree let out a loud scream as she went through the most painful thing she has ever experienced. Those that were conscious and not part of the fight like Mr. Boss, Bubbles, Father and the Delightful children grimaced at the hot torture. By the time she stopped screaming she was sent flying around the room with her battle armor destroyed and the surface of her body almost burnt completely.
Now done with the Teen Ninjas, Heatblast glared at Mr. Boss who stepped back in fear. The bald man quickly acted fast.
"Ice Cream men, take him down!"
Suddenly Ice Cream men jumped down from the ceiling. Their numbers were up to five and they had Heatblast in the middle. Each of them held a hose which was connected to tons of ice cream somewhere in the base. They pointed it at Heatblast and shot him with tons of ice cream. In a matter of seconds Ben was covered in ice cream.
"Ben!" Bubbles cried out as she watched her friend.
The Powerpuff girl got up to fight when suddenly the ice cream began to bubble up from heat. It kept expanding until it finally exploded, resulting in splashing hot ice cream through the ice. When some of it got on the ground, it melted right through the ground in seconds. Unfortunately the ice cream men got hit by the splash and felt their skin burn.
The five ice cream men screamed in pain as various parts of their body began to burn. My. Boss, the delightful children and Bubbles cringed from the sight as those men ran out from the room in pain.
Heatblast got up from a one knee down position and got up. His flames still formed on his body, much brighter and devastating. He had a determined look on his face which was brighter than his own flames, "Remember this, Mr. Boss! I'm not doing this for myself; I have no reason for that. But when you hurt my friends! When you make them cry! I won't dear hold back from taking you down!"
Taking a stance with his legs apart, Heatblast brought his hands to his hands and began to form a fire ball. While doing it, he kept talking, "When all of this is over, I want Bubbles to never remember this again. If it means burning this entire base to the grounnd, then so be it!"
Bubbles admired his words. A single tear went down her cheek as she whispered with a warm smile, "Ben."
However after standing there for too long, Father decided to speak up. He hadn't shown any fear or worry for his soldiers falling. He was as cold and cruel in hate, contrast to his power of fire.
"Mr. Boss." Father spoke calmly, "Maybe it's time you use your weapon."
"I couldn't say it better myself." Mr. Boss grinned. He looked at his creation and pointed at Ben, "That boy is going to ruin everything I built for. Destroy him!"
"As you wish, dad." Experiment 13 bowed and flew off.
"No!" Bubbles shouted and flew at her.
Heatblast kept charging up his fireball until he saw Experiment 13 coming at him. His former intention was to bring down the entire base in one fire blast but upon seeing Experiment 13 he shot the ball at her. Unfortunately the girl flew through the big ball of fire like it was nothing and kicked him hard on the chest. He hit the wall not behind him, but the force of the kick made him to crash almost through the wall.
Like that wasn't enough, Experiment 13 came and began throwing powerful blows at him. Heatblast kept getting hit as it felt like an eternal of beatings to him. The girl was powerful, even more powerful than Buttercup herself. The girl also used accelerated speed to make her punches stronger and faster. Fortunately Bubbles came and tackled the girl to the ground.
Suddenly the Omnitrix made its usual sound and engulfed him in a bright green light. When the light died down, Ben lay in a much dented metal wall. Bubbles by the meantime had Experiment 13 on the ground. But she noticed that she won't be able to hold on forever.
"Ben!" Bubbles turned her head to call her friend, "Ben, you got to get up and destroy this place! Please, this place can't stand, but it isn't for me! The Kids Next Door are good children who mean only good for kids everywhere! If this base keeps making Powerpuff girls as weapons, it will be the end of all that they walked on! Please, Ben, I need you!"
Unfortunately, that moment, Experiment 13 threw Bubbles off and charged at Ben. However Bubbles got to her feet and let out a sonic scream. It hit that girl at the back and sent her flying to a metal wall. Bubbles was just about to run to Ben's aid when she heard him moan. The brown haired hero sat up from the dented wall and smirked weakly at her.
"I'm on it." A little weakly, Ben to his feet and went to the Omnitrix, "Just keep that her away and be careful."
"Yeah." Bubbles nodded and flew off to fight.
Ben watched her go and nodded back even though he knew she couldn't see it. He was glad that the strong girl in her was back. So while she was busy, he went through a list of aliens and came upon the hologram of echo echo.
"Come on, Echo Echo!" Ben yelled and slammed the face of the Omnitrix down.
The usual green light engulfed Ben's body as the transformation began. However instead of growing shorter, Ben began to grow bigger and bulker. His body became incase in a strong armor as his head formed into a helmet similar to Greek Corinthian. He also gained two ears similar to an armadillo, a gray tail and jackhammers on his elbows, wrists and hands.
When the light died, Ben stood in a new different form. He had an appearance to that of a robot with yellow armor and armadillo ears. The alien hero held up his hands as he looked at his new form.
He sighed, "Why do I even bother calling them out anymore?"
Suddenly he got hit by a fireball. It didn't throw him off his feet nor did it do any damage to him. His armor ensured that the teen hero was protected from any harm. So when the blast came, he simply looked to his side and found Father standing there.
The man of black had his entire body in fire. He held two fire balls in his hands as he glared at Ben, "I've had enough of you, brat! You better learn to obey your elders."
"Dude, I never listened to my folks most of the time, so don't count for a second that I'll listen to you/"
Father became enrage and brought both hands together. He let out a huge fire blast intended to end Ben. However the hero won't go down without a fight as he charged at the villain.
******************************************)
Meanwhile Bubbles was sent crashing through a metal wall and hit the floor hard. Experiment 13 came from flying through the hole and went to face the Powerpuff. For a short while now both have been fighting each other though that could be said to be a lie. Despite only been born a while ago, Experiment 13 was far stronger than Bubbles could match up to be. The blond Powerpuff girl was just lucky she could keep up even though it was barely.
Bubbles quickly rolled out of the way, just in time as Experiment 13 came stomping down. The ground shook just from the impact as her foot made a large foot size dent on the metal floor. The blond Powerpuff girl quickly got to her feet, a few distance away.
"Please stop!" Bubbles said in an urgent tone, "We're sisters. Don't you remember? You saved my sisters a few years ago, Bunny!"
Experiment 13 simply eyed the other girl with a determined face, "I don't remember any of that. Now stop stalling and face your doom."
Before Bubbles knew it, Experiment 13 let out a sonic scream. It hit the ground hard and sent her flying through metal walls. She came to a stop as she hit the ground of a room with a loud thump. But despite it, she got up to her feet which was a mistake. Experiment 13 came and let out an ice breath that encase the Powerpuff in ice. Bubbles got frozen entirely, allowing the girl to give her an uppercut that sent her flying through several floors.
Bubbles reached the large room floor from earlier and hit the ceiling of it. Her ice encased body shattered, freeing the girl but also allowing gravity to send her falling to the ground. However Experiment 13 came out from the hole in the floor and backhanded the girl, sending her flying into a jet.
Meanwhile several workers within the base began to run for their lives. Though they have the means to fight, they didn't intend to cross fire in a fight between super powered people. Someone activated the evacuation alarm which was a huge help to clear out many in the base.
Instead the jet, Bubbles let out a weak moan as her eyes open. She looked around her and remembered all that happened. It would be a lie that at this point she wasn't afraid to even leave. Her eyes clearly showed her fear but also a burning determination. Experiment 13 clearly had the strength of all the Powerpuff girls combined. Not only that but she had the unique ability of each girl.
However Bubbles didn't let that stop her. She swallowed her fears and flew out of the jet to face the girl. However once she got out, she was kicked at the stomach by a fast moving Experiment 13. That sent her flying to the ground and making a dent on the ground. But she still got up, still determined to make things work out.
Suddenly the jet she early crashed into was sent flying to her. Fortunately Bubbles saw it coming and quickly grabbed it with her bare hands. It wasn't close to heavy thanks to her super strength, so she tossed it away. But she suddenly got punched to the face by Experiment 13 who came at her again. The Powerpuff was sent flying to the wall hit the wall, making a human size dent on impact.
Before Bubbles could escape, Experiment 13 came and began hitting her to powerful punches. Bubbles got seriously hit and felt every single blow from her. Fortunately she managed to overcome it and grab a fist. She caught Experiment 13 by surprise, just long enough to give her a strong head bud that sent her crashing to the ground.
Bubbles then let out a battle cry as she flew at Experiment 13 with both her fists ready to come down on the girl. But as she came close, Experiment 13 took both fists with one open hard, which surprised Bubbles. That moment was enough for the other girl to send a quick kick to Bubbles's stomach, sending the Powerpuff girl flying to the ceiling.
However Bubbles was able to regain control of her body while in the air. She quickly blocked a fast punch as Experiment 13 came at her. There was an opportunity to strike but instead of taking it Bubbles let go and flew backwards.
Confused, Experiment 13 asked, "Why didn't you hit me back?"
"I don't want to fight you." Bubbles answered, "We're sisters and we shouldn't be fighting each other. Please remember who you are, Bunny. It's me Bubbles."
"Bubbles?" Experiment 13 muttered with a lost look.
However, whatever chance she had of remembering was interrupted when the entire place began to shake. This didn't just happen at the particular room alone. The entire base began to shake like an earthquake just attacked. Tons of metal began to break apart as floors and walls began to collapse.
Both fighters were confused until they heard screaming. Experiment 13 recognized that voice, "Dad!"
Bubbles felt heartbroken at that word, but watched Experiment 13 fly off to save him. She followed her from behind with no idea of what to do. When they got to the bottom floor from before, they found Mr. Boss stuck under a huge metal. Not too far was Ben using his current form that was the cause of the rapid earthquake on the base. His form had huge jackhammer hands which he planted on the ground and use.
Everyone else in the place was already evacuated, whether they were injured or unconscious. The last to leave were the Delightful Children who were screaming as they carried an unconscious Father through a door. A battle had clearly happened between Ben and Father and from the looks of it Ben emerged victorious against the villain.
Experiment 13 spotted her father and quickly flew to him. Unfortunately a chunk of metal fell from above her and knocked her to the ground. She easily pushed it aside but became a little dumbfounded to find Bubbles helping the old man out.
"Hey! Put me down, you brat!" Mr. Boss struggled as he shouted ignorantly.
Bubbles snarled, "Shut it and hold your breath! I'm getting us out of here!"
Mr. Boss became quiet; giving the Powerpuff girl the peace to fly out through the base before it could all collapse. She should be worried for Ben, but knowing the teen he likely had a plan to escape.
By the time they got out, the entire base was completely destroyed.
***************************************************)
Outside of Townsville, Bubbles put Mr. Boss on the ground at the outskirt of the city, somewhere on the beach. The bald headed man rudely pushed away from her and stood at the shores, looking at the open seas.
Experiment 13 walked up to Bubbles, which the other girl took notice of. They looked at each other but said nothing as they felt awkward. But finally one of them spoke first.
"Um…thank you…Bubbles." Experiment 13 spoke.
"Oh…uh it was nothing." Bubbles said as a smile formed, "It was the right thing to do, even though he destroyed my paintings and made me fight with my sister."
"Sister?" Experiment 13 was confused, so she asked, "Who is your sister? I didn't know you fought with her."
Bubbles felt uneasy. She managed to swallow that down and said, "That sister is you."
"Oh." Experiment 13 muttered and looked away.
"Yeah." Bubbles muttered too. She felt like looking away but upon seeing that the chance of getting Experiment 13 to remember came cross her mind. So she forward her talking, "You and I are sisters. Your name is Bunny and you were the best thing that happened to me and my sisters. Some years ago, we created you and well…you weren't so perfect…at first. But in the end you came through when we needed you the most. But sadly…you..."
"Exploded." Experiment 13 finished.
"Wait, you remember?" Bubbles asked with a hopeful glee.
Experiment 13 smiled warmly, "I do. Back when I got slammed by that chunk of metal, I got some glimpses of some things that I didn't know about. It had a little girl version of you, a red haired and a brunette. I then realized that you're right…you're really are my sister."
A very warming smile spread on Bubbles's face. Her eyes became teary as she became filled with emotions. She couldn't hold it anymore; a chance to hold her sister. The same could be said about Experiment 13 who embraced Bubbles in a hug just as the Powerpuff did the same. Both of them had a happy moment of their own as tears of joy ran down their cheek.
Unfortunately that didn't last.
"What do you think you're doing!?" Mr. Boss yelled angrily.
Both girls let go of each other and faced the bald man. He angrily marched his way to Experiment 13's face and growled at her, "You do NOT talk to her like that! She and that useless brat ruined everything for me! Now I want you to destroy her, Experiment 13!"
"No I can't!" Experiment 13 refused, "And don't call me that anymore. Call me Bunny!"
"Oh." Mr. Boss shot a glare at her, "I see where this is going. Luckily I thought of something like this might happening."
Before any of the girls could ask, Mr. Boss reached into his suit and held out a button. A dial was on its side which he set to the maximum, making Bunny's body to glow. The girl gasped as she looked around her body glowing red hot.
Bubbles became worried and snarled at the villain, "What did you do to my sister?!"
"Simple, I activated an electronic charge to unstable the Chemical X within her DNA." Mr. Boss said calmly.
Both girls gasped at the news. They were too frozen to think of what to do. Bunny's body began to glow brighter in red that it began to scare the girls more.
Mr. Boss snickered as he turned to Bubbles, "I destroyed your paintings and you destroyed my work. Now I destroy your sister."
Bubbles became angry at that exact moment. Her eyes snapped open in hatred and she picked the man up. It became even more intense as the man felt afraid upon looking into her eyes.
"Stop it now or else I'll…"
"Do what?" Mr. Boss interrupted her. Though scared, he still managed to speak, "You heroes don't kill. Or have you forgotten that?"
Bubbles gritted her teeth in anger and threw him away without a second thought. That gave her the sight to see her sister reaching critical mass. Upon that, Bubbles became worried and afraid for her sister but could do nothing but watch her reach her end.
"Please…don't go." Bubbles whispered with tears.
Bunny glanced at herself and closed her eyes. Tears fell through her eyelids as her mouth departed to say her last words.
"Goodbye, Bubbles. I love you."
With that the end came. Bubbles shielded her eyes as she feared the worse to happen. Bunny stood tense and waited for the end to come. At that exact moment, her whole life flashed before her eyes. It started from the very first time she was created, showed her adventures with the girls and finally her death. Then it continued to her resurrection and played through the entire experience she went through.
Looking back at her sister, Bunny realized how happy she was to have seen her sister again even though it started out wrong and had to end. She let out a breath to relief herself of the tension and accepted her faith. She then closed her eyes, as the end of her finally came. A tingly feeling sensation washed over her body and she took it that it will be her end.
A moment of silence went by and nothing happened. However none of the girls bothered to open their eyes. Mr. Boss was the only one watching with a gleeful smirk. But once he realized something was wrong, his smirk dropped, "What's going on here? You should be dead by now."
"Huh?"
The two sisters opened their eyes and glanced at each other. Bunny specifically held her hands to her face and stared at them.
"I'm alive?" She whispered, baffled at what is happening, "But how?"
"That would be me." An electronic like voice spoke out in the air.
A bolt of blue electricity shot out of Bunny's head and began to materialize. The girl gasped while Bubbles watched as the strange being materialized to a blue jellyfish like creature with six long tentacles that seem to function as two pair of arms and legs. He had green eyes and white swipes on his body which resembled lightning streaks. A familiar hourglass tech rested on its chest.
"Ben? Is that you?" Bubbles asked in a whisper tone.
"Yep." The creature confirmed as two pair of his hands were up.
Bubbles approached him, "What did you do? Did you somehow save Bunny?"
"Somehow? I totally did."
If Ben had a mouth he would be smirking. Bubbles could tell from the tone of his voice that he was being his usual cocky self. It relieved her a little as Bunny then took a step the alien hero and asked the most obvious question on all of their minds.
"Please tell me…what did you do in my head?" The brown haired felt shy asking.
"Honestly I'm not sure myself." Ben admitted as he then began to explain, "This alien is so new to me, but it has good instincts that I functioned with. After I destroyed the base I wanted to go Big Chill and fly out of there intangible. But as you can see, the Omnitrix thought otherwise. But this alien came with a lot more than I thought. It could swim and make me phase through solid objects. So when I came back, I sensed some strange electronic charges and decided to investigate about."
"So by coming here…?" Bubbles said as she began to understand.
"You destroyed the electronic charges implanted in my head." Bunny finished. Upon saying that, a tear fell down her cheek as she smiled and wiped its remains away, "Thank you."
"It was nothing." Ben shrugged.
"NO!" Mr. Boss growled angrily, "You ruined everything! I swear I'll make you pay, Mr. Fenton!"
Ben glared at him and instantly hovered before him very fast. Two tentacles by his side wrapped about the villain's wrist, scaring him as Ben lifted him up to face him. The hero's eyes flashed very brightly as he casted a dark glare at him, "I get it! You're mad but do I care? No! Now you listen to me and I'll be brief!"
Mr. Boss nodded scared, allowing Ben to continued, "Firstly, my name is Ben Tennyson! That name you shouted is a great honor to a close friend of mine and I don't like the tone you used it. Secondly, you'll stay away from the girl from here on out. If I see you or anyone of your dumb goons come after her I'll make things so bad for you that even the fire power from Heatblast won't compare to it. Also and lastly, DON'T YOU EVER HURT MY FRIENDS!"
At the last part, Ben sent two of his other tentacles to shock Mr. Boss on the head. The bald villain cried out in pain before falling unconscious in seconds. Ben let go of him, allowing the man to fall on the sandy ground easily.
Both girls were surprised at Ben's fury, but watched the teen turned to them. The glare on his face quickly wiped on his face as a friendly one replaced it.
"You know, I just thought of an awesome name for the two aliens I just used."
However Ben didn't get to continue as the Omnitrix finally reached its limit and changed him back to normal. Then before the hero knew it he was tackled to the ground by two happy friends of his. All of them laughed hysterically as they joined the moment until Ben's eyes went to the skies and saw the beautiful night skies.
"Wow, I never knew the stars could be so beautiful." Ben whispered with an admirable glee in his eyes. He suddenly heard snoring and looked to his right to Bubbles sleeping soundly. After everything they've gone through it was easy to understood that the young Powerpuff had worn herself out and fell asleep once the chance came.
Upon seeing her sleep soundly, Ben wrapped his hands around her side in a friend's manner. He knew that if anyone saw him lying with two girls they would get the wrong idea. But he couldn't care the less about it since they all deserve some rest.
The Omnitrix bearer smiled warmly as his eyes went back to the stars and processed all that happened. He realized he has come a long way of maturity ever since he began to his cross dimensional travel through the multi-verse, though he still habited his usual childishness as expected from him. However his train of thoughts was interrupted when a voice called to him.
Looking to his left, Ben found Bunny still awake. The girl's eyes sparked as she looked at the teen dreamily. Of course Ben failed to notice this as even he felt tired from all the fights and tension.
"The stars look beautiful." Bunny marched an innocent smile to her eyes, "I can't thank you enough for helping my sister and saving him. Now I can finally…live with them." The pause between her sentences was due to a soft yawn she let out. Though she has never slept before in her first and second life, she closed her eyes and snuggled up to Ben before sleeping off.
Ben smiled warmly and put his hand around her like her did to Bubbles. From there he closed his eyes and slept off to a peaceful dream.
********************(END)**********************
Author Note:
Wow I still got it! I actually wanted to end this chapter with the Kids Next Door from Sector V coming at that moment and seeing Ben and the girls. But I realize I put too much suspense in a lot of chapters and decided to let that go sometimes so I can work on sweet endings like this one. If you're worried about Mr. Boss waking up, don't be. By the time they wake up, he'll still be unconscious. Ben gave him quiet the shock (HAHA! Electricity pun!)
Anyway those aliens that appeared are Armodrillo and AmpFibian. I wanted Ben to mention their names but I found there was no way to squeeze that through when different scenes came to mind. Besides I'm really tired from writing the two chapters for the past few days. The computer began to piss me as it refused to save my original lead to the end (Don't worry. That doesn't mean I changed much in the rewrite.)
Now to the Reviews.

As for those looking forward for the Kids Next Door, we won't get to them yet. They'll show up soon but I think now is the time that Dexter enter and do things in his special scientific ways. From there you'll get to see a lot of excitement, suspense, humor and surprises.
