Okay, I got a pretty decent response to chapter 1. So let's keep going. But first, let's get to the reviews.
DragonEmperor999: Glad you're liking it.

And now, my friends... Let's kick it up!

Just at the edge of the solar system, a black cruiser was flying at sub-light speeds before eventually arriving at the warship and docking with it and a large man clad in black armor stepped out and walked through the corridors of the warship before eventually coming to a door which opened in to a room where a man waring a black and purple suit with a jetpack on the back of it and a bronze robot with a large claw on its left side.
"Ah. The final hunter has arrived." The voice said as the man in all black stood between the other two bounty hunters. "Now to the reason you have been called here." He said before an image of the watch appeared. "Your task is to recover the Omnitrix and if need be, eliminate the one who wields it." He said.
"Bgta fnntg zst?" The black and purple clad hunter asked.
"Good point. We can't all get paid for the job. What's the down payment?" The Crab-like android asked before several large cannons lowered down.
"The 'down payment' shall be your continued existence." The voice said as the android put his hand and claw up.
"Point taken." The android said before the canons went back in to the ceiling.
"Now go and do not disappoint me." The voice said before the three bounty hunters turned and walked away.
(Back on Earth)
The Pickles family members were standing in a clearing in the middle of the forest as Tommy stood across from a bench with a number of cans placed on it.
"Okay, Scout. Just pick one and go." Lou said to Tommy before he began to look over the watch before coming to something that looked good before pressing down and the transformation began.
Tommy's shoulders morphed in to large spikes as his head separated from his body and became silver, his hands became pincers, and the color of his body changed to black and yellow.
"Alright. What can this guy do?" Tommy asked himself before pointing his hand out at the cans before letting a pulse come out of his hands and the cans began to float.
"Oh. That is awesome!" Dil exclaimed while he and the others watched.
"That's nothing. Watch this!" Tommy said before crunching and uncrunching the cans a few time before combining them in to a ball.
"Nice going, Tommy boy. Now turn back and..." Lou began to say before he heard something and turned while looking up to see the black and purple hunter flying towards them. "Everyone get down!" He called before a barrage of blaster fire was shot at them and he tackled Dil and Angelica to the ground while Tommy dodged the attack.
Tommy then used his newest form's powers to grab the armor clad man. This only worked for a few seconds however as the hunter activated a device on his wrist. Suddenly, Tommy found himself being thrown against a tree.
Tommy then got up and pulled the rods and steaks of the tent to use as spears. Just then, a blast came out of nowhere between him and the jet pack wearing hunter.
"Bltkh vk frtg. Yg kt jttg tgh." The flying hunter said to the android.
"Back off, dog-face. I'll be getting the bounty for the Omnitrix." The android said.
Taking advantage of the momentary distraction of the two bounty hunters, Tommy fired a rod in to the weapons of both of them and used the small explosion as cover to run.
"Everyone in!" Lou called out as his grandchildren rushed in to the RV
"What are we going to do?" Dil asked in a panic.
"I say we get the heck out of here and call the army or something." Angelica suggested.
"That won't work. They're obviously tracking that thing on Tommy's wrist. Our best bet is to..." Lou began to say before a blast hit them and the RV flipped over.
As the family recovered from the flip, Lou pressed a button before a case came out of the now sideways floor.
"What in the..." Angelica began to ask before Lou moved to the case and opened it up and threw a white and black pistol to her and a rifle for himself.
Just as they were armed the side was ripped out by the Crab clawed hunter before they began to shoot and Tommy began to use every metal appliance inside to launch the hunter in to the air before jumping out to fight him.
"Tommy! Wait!" Lou called out before he noticed the other hunter approaching.
"I'm giving you one warning. Back off before I..." Tommy began to say before he heard a beeping sound. "What the heck is th..." He tried to ask before in a flash of red light, he was reverted back to his human form. "Oh damn." He got out before the bounty hunter's claw clamped on his throat.
"Jfh ghr jt." They heard before they looked to see the jet pack wearing hunter holding Lou.
"Well, look at that. You bring him with us, we'll get double. What do say, we just call it partnership. I'm not in the mood to see who gets both." The robotic hunter said before several green crystals flew out of nowhere before hunter on the hoverboard flew down and grabbed Tommy and threw down a smoke bomb to aid in their escape.
A short time later, the black clad hunter touched down as Tommy attempted to reached himself free.
"Calm yourself. You are no used to your companions in a panic or with Omnitrix in its recharge state." The hunter said, Tommy taking a moment to register what he was saying.
"You're here to help?" Tommy asked, before the hunter nodded and folded back his helmet to reveal a head made of green crystals.
"My name it Tetrax. I've been keeping tabs of the being hunting the Omnitrix for years. I came down here to ensure it was in the hands of a member of an intergalactic police corps, known as the 'Plumbers'." The crystal headed man said.
"And this 'Plumber' wouldn't happen to be named 'Lou Pickles', would he?" Tommy asked, explaining his relation to Lou upon Tetrax asking him.
"I see. The pod that housed the Omnitrix was coded to your grandfather's genetics and yours would have been close enough to open it." Tetrax theorized.
"Well, however I have it, I need to use it to save my family." Tommy said with determination. As if reacting to his will, the device beeped and the dial shifted from red to green.
"Alright..." Tetrax began before pressing a device on his wrist before a disk appeared in his hands. "You'll have to conserve power in the Omnitrix for the battle." He said before the disk folded apart as it formed in to a green board.
'Oh hell yes.' Tommy thought before he hopped on to the board and followed Tetrax.
(Later)
Dil stirred slightly before consciousness finally returned to him.
"Hey, drooly. You okay?" Angelica asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. What's going on?" Dil asked, Angelica nudging the back of his head with her own to get him to look over to where Lou was restrained.
"Looks like Tommy's not the only one these creeps are after. Grandpa's gonna have some explaining to do if we manage to get out of this.
"No ifs to it, Cous." Dil said before Angelica pushed him with her back.
"Don't even think about it. They'd notice before you managed to reach the weapons.
"Fine. But I'm seeing a glare giving me a signal." Dil informed, Angelica instantly knowing what he meant. "I can get us to cover so, he doesn't have to worry about us being in the crossfire.
"Alright. Go for it. But keep it quiet." Angelica urged before Dil began to work the joints of his hands to slip out of his cuffs. He was then easily able to remove his shoe and slip the bindings off of his legs.
Up above, Tommy was looking watching with a pair binoculars.
"Okay. My brother and cousin are clear. Time to move." He said before he began to work the dial on the Omnitrix until coming to what appeared to be a good selection.
Pressing down on the device as his body was morphed in to nothing but looked to be a shroud of silver skin as a haze of green and yellow energy, formed within, three constructs forming in to a face.
The two hunters were quick to notice the flash from the activation of the prized device before turning around. They then found themselves in need of defense as a volley of gems were shot out of Tetrax's hands. This distracted them long enough for the now intangible to come up from the ground and wrap around Lou, causing his eyes to glow the same color as the energy formed by Tommy and his strength to be boosted, allowing him to snap the cuffs. The then reached out his hands to pull two of the blasts back at the hunters and in to the Crab-like one's canon, causing it to explode.
With an opening provided, Tretrax flew down to slam the Crab hunter in to the ground as Tommy/Lou elbowed the black clad one in to a wall, knocking him out. Tommy then flew off of Lou, who then began shaking his head.
"I tell ya. Gettin' possessed is something ya never get used to." Lou said as he rubbed his temple slightly.
"Sorry, Grandpa." Tommy said before transforming back. "I didn't have time to go through the plan with you." He said before Dil and Angelica both ran up to them. "You two okay?" He asked, gaining a hand claps from his brother and a side hug from is cousin.
"We're fine. Don't worry." Angelica confirmed before looking over to the two hunters. "What do we do about them?" she asked in regards to her recent captors
"They will be tried for working with the worst terrorist in the known universe." Tetrax said as he restrained the hunters.
"So he is still alive." Lou said, a mixture of anger and fear obvious in his voice.
"He was heavily injured. You will have time to prepare." Tetrax said in a attempt to ease Lou's worry before looking over to Tommy. "And you have very capable backup when he does recover." He said before nodding to the Pickles family and teleporting away.
With the black clad warrior gone, this left Lou to let out a deep sigh before he turned to his three grandchildren and saying. "Well. Looks like I've got a bit of explainin to do.
