Day 5
BOOOOM! The car in front of Ben exploded in a great ball of fire. He had to jump and slid on the pavement to avoid getting hit by chunks of flaming Prius. SevenSeven stood in the center of the town square, still blasting away, trying to land a shot.
It was unclear to Ben exactly how this started. He remembered he and Kevin were walking to the hardware store, when bounty hunter had flew right across the sky and landed right in front of him, blasting away. Seems someone wanted him dead again. He couldn't remember much more, but that was probably due to the car explosion.
Cop cars had formed a ring around SevenSeven, the cops firing away with their pistols. SevenSeven ignored them for a moment…then threw a grenade their way. BOOOOM! The cars blew up in rapid succession, giving Ben the chance to slip into an alley way, where he found Kevin ushering people out the other end.
"Doesn't this guy ever take a day off!?" he said when the alley was cleared.
I"I doubt it" Ben replied. With one swift motion, he popped the dial on the Omnitrix, and pressed it down. TTSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNN N!
Kevin had seen Ben turn into some weird aliens, but this one was new. It looked like a man, but red, with light blue epaulet-like things running up and down his body. His face was the same colour, with weird eyes that looked like they were sunken into his head. Instead of a mouth, he had a vertical slit running up the middle of his face. His legs were oddly shaped, with no actual feet, just ending in points. Suddenly Ben's arms and hands just… split apart. What replaced them were four tentacles, two red, two blue.
"Weird" Kevin said. "And that's just stating the obvious." Ben nodded, and took of into the sky. "Okay, he can fly. That's something" Kevin said. He considered joining the fight, but he figured Ben had it covered. Best to keep heading to the hardware store…
Ben had to admit, this alien was weird. He didn't "see" anything; what he saw he figured was electricity. SevenSeven looked like a pulsating, man shaped figure. Time to see what you can do, Ben thought.
Suddenly, SevenSeven raised his weapon, and fire a volley of small missiles at Ben. Without thinking about it, Ben changed. His body became bigger, his back became rounder, and overtaking his head until it was one big dome. His tentacles became flatter, broader. He crossed his tentacles, and a sphere materialized around him. The missiles hit the sphere and exploded, sending Ben flying, but unharmed.
SevenSeven made a sort of gargled roar, and activated his jet packs. He soared up into the sky, blasting away with his lasers as he went. He started to chase Ben, and they began a sort of cat-and mouse game in the air.
Ben's body began to change again. His head grew smaller, sleeker, ending in three points. His tentacles became sharper, his body thinner. He turned around suddenly in mid-air, and put the tips of his tentacles together. Suddenly, a ball of energy began to grow in the center. Before SevenSeven had a chance to turn around, it launched off of Ben, and landed square in the middle of the bounty hunter's chest. A large explosion followed, which completed obliterated all of his weaponry. The bounty hunter began falling fast to the ground.
Ben quickly, instinctively, changed back into his first form, and quickly dived. He went faster and faster, coming close to the ground… and caught SevenSeven just before they both became a stain on the pavement. He quickly tied up the bounty hunter on a lamp post, then quickly flew away before anyone could see him.
I definitely like this one, he thought to himself. Now, where the heck did Kevin go? Lazy jerk…
