Here we go, a double upload with both parts of War of the Worlds, revamped to fit the new narrative. Enjoy!
(AN: Theme song.)
Chapter 9: War for all Worlds + Vampire; Part 1
"I'm definitely getting something. The mana trails getting stronger and stronger," said Gwen, who was leading Kevin's car somewhere, tracking down the mana from this broken streetlight they found back in town. Her eyes were glowing as she was floating along the road with the car behind her.
"You said that 2 hours ago" said Kevin, who was driving the car slowly behind her.
"Trying to concentrate, Kevin!" Gwen snapped at him.
"Let her work. She's doing the best she can" said Ben, who was in the passenger seat. Maybe Gwen should have accepted that offer from their grandmother...
"For what? Been driving around the desert for 4 hours, and no DNAliens in sight! It's a wild goose chase!" Said Kevin. While he didn't mind helping Ben and them with the DNAliens, which is what they expected to find, it wasn't easy on the teens wallet either. All this driving around was wasted gas that he could be using for something else.
"I don't know. All those reports about a monster roaming around all night wrecking stuff?" Said Ben. As some people have claimed to see a bigfoot wandering around, and there was also a family that claimed its car's trailer was stolen by the same bigfoot.
"Wouldn't be the first monster you know that wrecks stuff" Kevin joked.
"We're right here" said Kurumu with folded arms, her and Moka in the rear passenger seats.
"It's probably a bear that escaped the zoo or something," Kevin continued, being a little more serious.
"Not a single missing animal, reported from any zoo, in the entire state" Gwen piped in, shutting down Kevin's theory.
"It's gotta be a DNAlien, or a Highbreed at least. What other monster is strong enough to tear off a traffic light?" Asked Ben.
Kevin gave Ben a smirk. "I don't know, why don't you ask them?" He said, pointing to the back seat with a thumb.
"We're still here!" Kurumu snapped. Don't get her and Moka wrong, it was flattering to hear Kevin thought they were that strong, which they were... but this was Kevin. They were now the butt-end of one of his jokes. Gwen then announced she finally pinpointed exactly where the one responsible was for all the destruction back in town. Ben and Kevin where the first to approach the monster. It was a large, rock-bodied green creature that was toned with muscle... kinda reminded Ben of a certain Orc, except this one was the exact same size as Humungousaur. This thing was also hauling some random stuff on a car trailer. Why? They had no idea.
"Drop it!" Commanded Ben as he and Kevin ran up to it.
The creature looked up at whom spoke. It saw Ben and Kevin, but its field of vision showed a different 'Ben' with a dark aura overlaying over the Human Ben...
TOSS! BAM!
It listened, throwing a red orb-like object attached to a cable at the duo. Both boys had to hit the dirt to avoid getting hurt.
"He dropped it./He dropped it." Commented Vampire Ben and Kevin, simultaneously. The alien began to walk toward the boys, but then seemed to show no interest in them... that, or it had a short attention span. The next thing it did was go pick up the object it tossed, nuzzling it with its face. Ben commented this thing didn't seem to act like a DNAlien, but Kevin pointed out it DID have Highbreed tech, which was the red object. It was actually some kind of power coupling according to the Osmosian.
When Ben approached the trailer of random stuff, THAT'S when the alien went to backhand Ben in rage when the boys' backs were turned. Kurumu was the one to take her true form and without a second thought, kicked the monster in the face just before it struck either male. Shaking off the daze, the alien's eyesight moved to Kurumu, in which it saw the succubus also have an aura, but it wasn't as dark as 'Ben's'. Kevin took this as a chance to sneak an attack in himself, so he absorbed a nearby rock and jumped to punch the alien. Sadly, the alien retaliated with a backhand, sending Kevin not only crashing into Kurumu, but the force behind the attack was enough to knock her out of the sky as well. Both of them slid a good distance away due to this things level of strength.
Ben went Humungousaur and at first, the sudden change in appearance shocked the rock-like being, but it still seemed to see a transparent image of another 'Ben' within its field of vision. Becoming angry, it rushed at Humungousaur. It was strong enough to grab the dinosaur alien, and hold him in place. The rock alien also appeared to try and crush him, which wasn't doing much thanks to Humungousaur's armored hide.
"Aw, he woves you" Kevin joked, who recovered from earlier and had returned, also speaking in a tone that would be used when talking to a toddler. Kurumu, who floated above him, glanced down at him when an unamused expression for the stupid joke. The only one who found that funny and was laughing about it was whom was living in Ben's/Humungousaur's head.
"So. Not. Funny" said a struggling Humungousaur, trying to get out of this things grasp. He eventually go both his hands free, and quickly slammed them both on the sides of the monsters' head, disorientating it and making it groan and hold its head in pain. The Vaxasaurian then pulled a fist back and punched the monster while it was disorientated, making it slide along the ground in the same way as it did to Kurumu and Kevin. It was balancing on one leg while this was happening to it; kicking up dust, dirt and rocks. It lost said balance after a bit and slid on its behind for a while before then sliding on its back, finally stopping a good 100 or so feet away.
It then started bawling like a baby.
"Oh stop whining. He didn't hit you THAT hard..." Kurumu said, having approached the monster via flight, slightly joking when saying this. She's seen what Ben can do, and that was nowhere near his strongest punch. Still... this was one strange alien, and she's been seeing some crazy shit in this town. The fight continued on for another minute after that, with the monster seeing some kind of gem on the ground and looking impressed by it. When Humungousaur attacked again, also knocking away its crystal, it seemed to throw a tantrum by banging the ground a few times before getting up and shoving the Vaxsaurian away. And after Kevin knocked him away, it ran towards a guardrail on a strip of road and wrapped it around Humungousaur.
That only worked for about two seconds before the alien Dino "grew up" to maximum size, once again scaring the rock-like monster. Gwen and Moka finally caught up, with Gwen trapping the fleeing alien in walls of mana. The alien also saw Gwen as an Anodite, and Moka as her true self despite the Rosario still hanging around her neck. The alien's facial expression changed from fear to happiness, smiling and making grunting noises at the duo. It looked like it was calming down...
SHATTER!
Until it broke through Gwen's barrier and grabbed both the Anodite and the vampire. Gwen struggled in this things grip, and Moka couldn't do anything as long as her rosary was on. Considering how it tried squeezing Ben/Humungousaur earlier; if he, Kevin or Kurumu made a sudden move towards this thing... there was a chance it might end up crushing both girls too death. Thankfully, all it took was Gwen/Anodite and Moka/Inner Moka to tell this thing to put them down.
Gwen: Put us down!
Moka: Please!
After a whine, the alien did give in and listen. It was revealed this thing was just a baby, for it then began playing with the objects she stole as if they were toys. Yeah... it was apparently a girl.
Some DNAliens also arrived on the scene, claiming the girl rock monster stole their power coupling. The group didn't have to battle them much, for the rock monster had taken it upon herself to throw away one of the first DNAliens to attack, making a large dust cloud in the distance. Granted this was only AFTER they spit slime at the group as Gwen blocked it with a mana wall, and when a small speck of slime made its way an inch from Moka's shoe.
What happened next can only be described as a name of Hot Potato, with Ben's team tossing the power coupling back and forth to each other as the baby alien and the DNAliens went after whomever was holding it at the time. Kevin got it first, tossed it to Gwen second, and it then landed in Ben's hands, who after catching it changed into: "DITTO!"
Splitting itself into four, the new players ran away from the current playing field in a circling group, then off in different directions. The DNAliens followed then, going after the one holding the item they wanted. As they it closed in on one... "Head's up!" Said the Ditto, tossing it in a seemingly random direction. It was shown however, he had passed it to another Ditto that was now going the opposite way. The DNAliens changed course to follow the new target. "HEY! I'M OPEN!" Called another Ditto from the side, running up in the same direction while waving his arms, which the Ditto carrying the coupling complied as the new holder ran down another path that went a bit deeper into the desert. Though getting annoyed, the DNAliens changed course again.
"Tag me! Tag me!" Asked the 4th Ditto, who seemed to appear out of nowhere but probably just got a head start. His wish was granted, but the current holder of the 'potato' accidentally threw it a bit too hard and it ended up bouncing off the 4th Ditto's face. The Splixson groaned as he fell to the ground and unfortunately for him, this was shared with the rest of them.
By sheer chance, the coupling ending up rolling to Moka's feet, who picked it up after it hit her foot. Some DNAliens began closing in on her now, so she ran off in a panic with a scream, but knew she still couldn't allow these creatures to require this device. "KURUMU!" She yelled and just threw the device up randomly. Whether Kurumu was nearby waiting or flew over quickly was unknown but regardless, she caught the device in midair when it was about 2 feet away from the DNAliens clutches, and went in the opposing direction.
When the DNAlien's looked back as she flew, she looked back while hugging the power node close to her chest and stuck out her tongue with a look that was meant to annoy and taunt the target. It had the desired effect, and made the DNAliens screech in anger as they chased her down. They spat slime at her, but she was able to dodge them. One DNAlien, who was waiting in ambush, tried something different. The second Kurumu about to pass the rock formation it was hiding behind, he jumped and managed to hold onto one of her legs while screeching.
The unexpected extra weight did slow the succubus down a little bit. "Grrrr... HEY! NO FREE RIDES!" She said while trying to stabilize herself with the surprise passenger. She tried shaking him off, but his grip was too tight so she resorted to kicking and stomping its head. After a few times of doing that, the alien let go, screeching as it fell and crashed into its brethren, all of them groaning. Kurumu smiled down at her handiwork before looking on ahead...
"SCREECH!"
Kurumu was wide-eyed for a second, taken by surprise because out of nowhere, another DNAlien copied the same idea of the pervious one, but instead jumped at her directly. The force of the impact sent both of them back down to earth, the power node being let go from the struggle between them. Gwen helped her out by tossing a ball of mana at the DNAlien while it was on top of Kurumu, knocking it away. The power source rolled back to the alien monster, who merely swatted away the DNAliens approaching her. With the DNAliens taken care of, the team regrouped to find Ditto arguing... with him-selves.
"You did that on purpose!" Complained one Ditto.
"I did not! It was an accident!" Another Ditto defended.
"Mes', can you give it a rest? He didn't mean it." Said another Ditto, who was most likely the main one.
"Oh, so your on his side now?" Asked the first Ditto.
"No! He's saying its pointless to argue about it!" Said a fourth Ditto.
"Why didn't you just use Echo-Echo?" Piped in Vampire Ben, asking a genuine question.
All four Dittos' looked up at their Omnitrix emblems' on their foreheads. "WHO ASKED YOU?" They said in unison and annoyance.
"Dude, your taking to yourselves again" said Kevin, as he and the others approached.
"Sorry." The Dittos' apologized, then combined back in one body as it flashed green, turning Ben back to normal. "More importantly, what are we gonna do about that?" Ben asked, gesturing to the baby alien shaking the power cable like a maraca and enjoying the sounds it made.
"Her." Corrected Moka and Gwen.
"Whatever!" Said Ben, not caring about this aliens gender too much.
"I feel bad for the thing t-" Kurumu began to say, but was then giving the same look Ben got from Moka and Gwen when he misgendered the rock beast. "For heeeeer..." She corrected herself. "But what are we supposed to do? Hide her?"
"You wanna help do that or stand around and argue about it?" Asked Gwen. While Moka didn't say anything, her expression alone told them she agreed with the half-alien Tennyson cousin.
Ben and Kurumu looked at each other, then looked back to Gwen and Moka with smiles and said: "Stand around."
"Argue about it./Argue about it." Answered Vampire Ben and Kevin, also smiling. Gwen and Moka frowned at this. "If ya don't wanna know, don't ask." Kevin said, playfully.
They did end up being the good guys and agreed to look after the baby for a bit, which Gwen and Moka nicknamed "Tiny", hiding her in Kevin's garage. It was tough on the teens, for it seemed like every second the baby wanted something, and they were so exhausted that they even debated on whose turn it was. Tiny ended up taking a bite of Kevin's car, and a rather large one at that, and it was then they decided to try and find out where she came from.
They ended up discovering her parents and ship were caught in Paradox's Time Travel experiment, literally flying over the planet at that time, and where trapped in suspended animation underground ever since. The DNAliens were also mining Quartz crystals, the same kind Paradox used. Why? Tiny's dad figured someone was trying to set up a transportation system or grid of some kind, but they could only speculate.
Tiny and her family's ship ended up flying out into space after that, which the group watched. It was a happy ending, a family reunited after half a century.
-TIME BREAK-
In space, we see a peaceful green planet... surrounded by the black ships of the Highbreed. Millions of Galvans/Grey Matters watched as the shadows of the battleships blocked out most of the sunlight. In the center of the planet, which is where the ships were heading, a tower stood with the symbol of the Omnitrix. This was Azmuths laboratory, where he spend x-amount of time creating Ben's well-known bracelet. We see Azmuth staring at the incoming ships, when a flash of white light appeared behind him.
"I know why your here Time Walker, and there's no point. The Highbreed caught us by surprise, disabled our defenses and destroyed most of the Mechomorphs we have stationed around in case. It's over. Without the Galvan... no other species in the galaxy has a chance" said Azmuth, turning around to glance at Professor Paradox before looking back out at what humans would call: Judgment Day.
"I hesitate to say this to the smartest being in the universe, but that's where your wrong... this IS still once chance left" said the professor.
"Explain yourself" said the old Galvan.
"Our only hope. Is the boy" said the professor.
"No. That is not what the Omnitrix is for" said Azmuth.
"He has proven time and time again that your device can used for other purposes... beyond your intentions. And his 6 monster friends can be just as helpful, despite their constant fighting over him" said Paradox.
"Six?" Asked the Galvan, confused. Ben only had 4 monster friends battling for their right to mate with him, 5 including a certain personality that refuses to admit it. So who and what was this other friend?
"Oh, er nevermind," the Time Walker excused, having thought of something else. "Anyway, Ben has shown he is smart enough to get out of sticky situations using your invention more than once... in ways you've never expected" explained the professor. Azmuth had to admit, the human turned space-time grandfather clock had a point. Tennyson has done things with the Omnitrix, that even he has never dreamed of. Still, he was young and had his whole life ahead of him... or at least until the Highbreed purge every living thing in their path.
"Perhaps..." the Grey Matter admitted.
"Come with me to earth then. There's still time to warn him" Paradox offered.
"You can go, but I'm not leaving me home, not now. If some of us survive, we can rebuild. Maybe find a way to fight back. I refuse to leave my people behind" Azmuth calmly declined.
Then Professor Paradox walked up next to him. "And I'm not going back... without you."
An enormous red laser beam was then released from one of the ships, making a beeline for the tower and destroying everything it touched. "I don't suppose you'll change your mind in the next 3 seconds?" Paradox asked the Galvan, who looked up at him. Just before the laser hit, a flash of clear light engulfed both the Time Walker and the Galvan and then...
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
-TIME BREAK-
"ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH! WHERE IS MY SISTER?!"
CRASH!
Things we're so happy in the monster world either. Kokoa had enough waiting and couldn't hold back any longer, she needed to smash something... anything! Having Kou change into a morning star; she crushed bushes, knocked down trees, dented some walls (though she claimed that was a total accident) and slammed any "perverts" into the ground... literally.
I dropped my textbook, I swear!" Cried the unfortunate soul who dared look up Kokoa's skirt, he was in the dirt with his head sticking out. He really did drop a textbook but sadly for him, he looked at the wrong place, at the VERY wrong time.
Although the other girls and Gin felt bad, that did not want to get anywhere near Kokoa when she was this riled up. Just as she was about to smash this boy deep into the ground, and probably 12 feet under, a flash of light appeared in front of her. No one knew who this was, he looked like a science teacher with googles hanging around his neck, and had some kind of amphibian on his right shoulder. "Who are you, ya old geezer? Get out of my way!" Shouted the hot-headed vampire.
When the old man didn't move, she raised her transformed bat/morning star and attempted to crush him, but he just teleported behind her. She swung again, swing and a miss. This continued until the teacher, not the slightest bit scared, simply raised a hand and stopped the weapon. "Hmm... what an odd specimen. No matter what he turns into, his mass doesn't appear to change" said the amphibian, patting the medieval weapon.
Kou: HEY! Watch the merchandise, old-timer! WEEEE! (changes back to his bat form and sits on Kokoa's shoulder)
"Azmuth?!" Asked Yukari and Mizore in surprise, they didn't expect to meet the Galvan again unless Ben overdid it.
"Who? The frog?" Asked Ruby.
"Or the science guy?" Asked Gin.
"In the flesh, but there's no time for small talk. The world is in danger, and Ben'll need all the help he can get" said Azmuth.
"BEN? You mean that sleazeball that took my sister away?! WHERE IS HE, WHERE IS THAT AMERICAN JERKFACE?!" Shouted Kokoa, not too thrilled to hear that Gaijin's name again. Ben this, Tennyson that... UGH! She would rip off her ears if she could, anything to stop hearing that accursed name!
Paradox helped the student trapped in the dirt and told him to head back to his dorm, the male student was more than happy to oblige and took off without another word. "Let's take this elsewhere, away from prying eyes." He said and all of a sudden, the monsters' found themselves near the bus stop outside the school grounds. How the heck did they just get here? Paradox then explained everything in perfect detail for the next minute or so, about the Highbreed and their goals. Hearing his story, the monsters' aside from the redheaded vampire were concerned.
"So, the douche of an American needs help with an alien invasion in his world... that's our problem, WHY?" Asked Kokoa with her arms folded. Her tone also told them she didn't exactly believe it either.
"Because your world exists alongside the humans'. If one ceased to function, the other would fall apart. This would cause a chain reaction, and many other life forms would be destroyed, one world to the next" explained the Professor.
"Uh huh. And your a human that's apparently over 4000 years old. Ok." Kokoa rudely said, not believing or even caring about most of the story.
Ruby was a bit kinder, though was a bit skeptical herself. "With all due respect, mister Paradox. How do we know you are who say you are? Or even if this is true?"
Paradox thought for a moment. "... Well, I could warn you and Yukari not to trust Charmcaster when you need help following Aggregor. I could even advise Gin to not sneak out on a particular night or the campus will confuse him for someone else," he began. "I could also warn Kokoa not to smash Moka with a morning star when Ben runs to her rescue, but she won't be paying attention anyway."
Ruby and Yukari then looked like they got headaches from the sudden information, not only from this but also about alien Highbreed invading the world. It was too much for their brains to handle. "Wait... I'm sorry, what?" Yukari asked, wanting it to be repeated.
"Hold on, who's Charmcaster?" Ruby asked, then looked back to Kokoa. "Kokoa, did you get any of that?"
Kokoa looked up from filing her nails. "I'm sorry, I wasn't listening to some human's bullshit" she said, arrogantly.
Paradox didn't say anything. His point was made. "In any case, you need to come with me" said Paradox.
"Yeah, uh... mister alien time-traveler guy?" Gin asked. "Not to sound rude, but why can't you just change course of events or something? Go back and warn Ben of this incoming disaster so he'd be prepared?"
"Or prevent my sister from putting that stupid cross around her neck" mumbled Kokoa, going back to her nail-filing.
"Oh, my dear friends, if only things in life were as simple. Beings of great power have certain restrictions, as you all know firsthand. Werewolfs' are slightly weaker in the day; witches can only use magic with a wand; Yuki-Onna melt from extreme temperatures; vampires can't handle garlic or water, and loose strength without proper blood intake; shall I go on?" Explained Professor Paradox.
"I think we got it, they have enough of my long stories everyday" said Ruby.
"Splendid! Off we go" said the time-traveler, teleporting everyone with him... almost everyone.
"Where'd the hell they go?... Did those assholes left me behind?!" Asked Kokoa. When did they even leave anyway? "Ooooooh, after I kill her, I'm gonna find that walking pocket watch..." she continued, but was stopped by Kou.
"Uh, Miss Kokoa? What's that?" Said Kou, getting off his masters shoulder and hovering above a folded piece of paper on the ground in front of them. Unfolding it, Kokoa read:
Unfortunately, I can't bring you with us. Can't have you trying to remove her rosary. Don't fret though, you will see your sisters again. Just know that when you try to keep her out, she won't accept it and will tell you to get used to it. She's not the same person you once knew. Ta-ta for now, perhaps if things go accordingly, we will meet again.
Professor Paradox.
...
...
...
A VERY agitated female scream made birds squawk and fly out of trees.
-TIME BREAK-
"Alright, its game time!" Said Ben, tossing the soccer ball back to his teammate. He was at a soccer field, playing for his school team. And of course, he brought some company... more accurately the company FOLLOWED him, but still.
"Good luck, Ben!" Called Moka's voice.
"We got your back, sweetie!" Shouted Kurumu's voice. Basic instinct forced him to look in the direction the voices were coming from. Both females were in cheerleader outfits. Both girls figures fit them perfectly. Of course Kurumu's... fluffy white pillows, didn't exactly fit. Somethings were poking her shirt from inside. Whether she did it on purpose or was innocently unaware, Ben didn't know. But knowing the succubus, he probably shouldn't ask... or keep staring!
But Moka...
The redness around her face, either from working up a sweat or another reason, combined with her shyness because of the situation... dear lord, she was adorable. "Adorable? More like melting the ice off hot! You have 2 stunning females chasing your ass and what do you do? You refrain from your desires!" Pretty sure you can guess who that was. Shaking his head back to realty, Ben looked down the field... noticing something very weird.
No one was moving anymore! Players' were in impossible poses, and the fact that one of them was suspended in the air without his legs touching the ground assured Ben this wasn't a big joke. "I'm afraid game time, will have to wait my friend" said a voice from everywhere.
"W-w-w-what was that?!" Asked the voice of Moka, then the form of her hugged Ben tightly, crushing the green teens bones a little.
"GET OFF HIM! YOU FED ON HIM TWICE TODAY!" Screamed the succubus, trying to pull Moka off Ben. Apparently neither Japanese female was aware of what happened in this frozen moment in time. Hearing someone clear their throat, the 3 unfrozen beings turned to see a man in a lab coat with an old croaker next to him.
"Professor?" Asked Moka.
"And Azmuth?" Asked Kurumu.
"What are you guys...?" Ben didn't get to finish his question due to Paradox saying: "And 4 more."
"BEN! ITS REALLY YOU!"
Something grabbed Ben's neck and hung onto his back. "ACK! What the hec... Yukari?!" Said the soccer player, not expecting this in the slightest.
Kurumu mentally groaned. Great. The shrimp was back. "Great you said hi, now get off h..." Kurumu tried to get out. She did manage to pull Yukari off, but both of them were then frozen solid in a block of ice. Ben felt a cold chill up his spine... then was pulled by his arm gently to the left.
Mizore: We finally meet again, my beautiful snow angel.
Appearing from behind the professor were none other than the final members of the Newspaper Club, Ruby and Gin. "Awww, how cute" said Ruby, watching Ben get reacquainted with his friends.
"Yeah, real cute. I SHOULD BE IN THERE!" Said the perverted werewolf, tearing up. Azmuth just facepalmed, how in Galvan Primes name did Professor Paradox manage to convince him THIS was a good idea?
-TIME BREAK-
"What's so important that I had to miss the Auto Show? My ride could've won 1st prize" Kevin complained. When Ben made the call, Gwen had to drag him [with her mana] back to his car and force him to drive off.
"The imminent destruction of your primitive world and all who live in it. Including the world of monsters' should the Highbreed discover it" said Professor Paradox.
"But if you'd rather stare at convertibles, by all means." said Gwen, sarcastically.
"The Highbreed invasion has truly begun. My home world was conquered, the only one whose technology can fight them head on" said Azmuth.
"And there coming for us now?" Asked Yukari, even her gifted mind was struggling to accept this reality.
"Correct. Their attack plan is quite effective" said the Professor.
"It has worked on thousands of worlds. They send a small number of Highbreed officers to the target planet, infiltrating it from the inside" said Azmuth.
"And work by turning everyone into squid-headed slaves?" Mizore asked, though it was more of a statement.
"So then, what's with the the Ferris Wheel they're building?" Asked Moka.
"A Hyperspace Jump Gate. The Highbreed use it to transport an entire fleet, in a matter of seconds" said Azmuth.
"The Highbreed ships you've faced were small cruisers compared to their main warships" said Paradox.
"Oh, well that's encouraging. I'll just hop on the nearest plane back to Jap... ACK!" Gin was saying and started to walk away, but Kurumu grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
"What if we destroyed the hyper gate first?" Ruby asked.
"Then perhaps... this planet will have a better chance for survival. But no force on this planet, stands a chance against even a single Highbreed warship" said Azmuth.
"Unless we stop them BEFORE they complete the Hyperspace Jump Gate, there's no other option but to enjoy your final moments of life" said the professor.
"So we know where we gotta go, and we know what we gotta do" said Kevin.
"Direct approach then?" Asked Gwen.
"Direct... but not stupid. We've met others who owe us some favors. Think it's high time we called them in" said Ben.
"Your friends can carry that task out themselves," said the old Galvan. "I'd like to have a word with the wielder of my Omnitrix... in private"
"Ooooooh... someone's in trouble" said Kevin, jokingly.
"Kevin Ethan Levin," Gwen grabbed the older teens arm and called him by his full name, dragging him with her.
"Ethan?" Asked Ben, then he slowly began to smirk at what this meant.
"Wait... his full name is Kevin E. Levin?... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Laughed Ben's vampire form.
"You just lost all pretense of cool" Ben snickered due to the irony. Just before Professor Paradox teleported Gwen, Kevin and the 5 monsters'; Azmuth spoke up again. "On second thought... Miss Akashiya. A word with you as well..."
"Oh joy..." said a piece of jewelry. While the others are recruiting the 'favors' they are owed, Azmuth began addressing why he asked the two of them to be left behind.
"Humans' aren't exactly the brightest species, despite what others may think. So I'll ask you this once: do you FULLY understand the risks you are taking?" Azmuth asked Ben with a serious expression on his face, concerned that he didn't understand how big the situation is. True he has gotten a bit smarter, for a human anyway, but he's still just a kid.
"Of course, the Highbreed want conquer everything, I can't allow it to happen!" Said Ben.
"And I'll be right by your side... we both will" said Moka, holding her Rosario in her hand.
Azmuth still didn't look happy. "... They want to DESTROY everything! They have no interest in conquering anything! If you lose this war, then you lose for all humanity, and the entire galaxy!" Said Azmuth.
"Then I WON'T lose. I have my friends with me, and this created by the greatest mind in the universe" said Ben, holding up the Omnitrix. Azmuth did feel a little flattered at Ben's remark, but he had to focus and make sure Ben completely understood the consequences.
"Besides, there IS strength in numbers" said Inner Moka, the glow of the Rosario wasn't unnoticed by the 2 males present. "She's right, as long as we fight together, nothing can stop us!" Said Moka.
Azmuth had to say, these 2 kids got points for determination, but it would take more than that to defeat the Highbreed. They also still did not understand. Giving in, Azmuth told them something that most likely their lesser minds could not calmly comprehend. "Ben, as I'm forced to continuously point out, you know very little. I've told you there are more than 1 million life forms in the Omnitrix. And how it allows you to walk miles in another life forms shoes... this is not the complete truth," he said, which got more of Ben's and Moka's attention. There was more too it? "Ben.. if you are destroyed... so will the Omnitrix, along with the only hope of undoing any damage to the milky way galaxy. In short... the Omnitrix is the equivalent of Noah's Ark. And you, Ben... YOU, are the captain of that ship!"
Both Ben and Moka were shook up.
"Wait... so if Ben dies... everything's lost?... Even monsters?" Asked Moka, her and her inner self were both shocked and scared at this new piece of information. Never did they realize what impact the universe would have if Ben's watch was destroyed.
"It's a possibly, yes," Azmuth said. "Which is exactly why I forbid you from going into battle, Ben. There is too much at sake here, and I'm not putting your life in anymore danger than it has been for the past 5 years" Azmuth finished.
"So you lied to me? This entire time?" Ben asked, a bit offended he wasn't told this sooner, for this does change things.
"No. I hid portions of the truth from you until you were ready" Azmuth excused.
"That's still lying, frog-face" deadpanned Vampire Ben.
"So... he's ready now?" Asked Moka.
"No." Azmuth said as if was the most obvious thing in the world. "And neither of your races should be for another 2 centuries. But this has forced my hand. If you go through with this and fail, considering how high the odds are stacked against you, there will be no other way to restore life to the universe. The Omnitrix can be used to restore any species the Highbreed exterminate, which is exactly why I cannot allow you to participate in the final battle." He explained, pointing to Ben.
Ben had to admit, this was a little more serious than he originally anticipated. So he was able to restore life as well as transform?... Hold on. Monsters' weren't meant to be absorbed by the watch, right? Azmuth told him that some time ago. "What about monsters'?" Ben asked, which got Moka to perk up. "Moka, Mizore, Gin... what about them?"
Azmuth paused before answering that. "You've seen the Omnitrix repair genetic damage on the spot and return targets to their original state, correct? This also works in reverse. The Omnitrix can splice portions of DNA or fuse them to substitute for any lack of available data. Of course, considering you've only gotten a few samples, only around 20% of monsters could make the cut, but..."
"Only 20?!" Questioned Ben, him and Moka shocked again. 20% of monsters' would just be gone? What about the other 80?! That wasn't nearly enough! A large of the monster race will simply cease to exist! "I can't risk that! I can't just let the Highbreed...!" Ben went to argue, as there was no way in hell he'd let that happen, but Azmuth cut him off.
"Ben! If you are destroyed, the Omnitrix will automatically self-destruct to prevent it from going into the wrong hands!" The Galvan snapped, growing tired of Ben's reluctance. The teen was using emotion rather than reason to make this decision, which is also why humans have made so many mistakes throughout their existence. "If you stay behind, you have a better chance of succeeding in the long run. But if you go through with this and fail, there will be no hope for any species in the galaxy!"
"I appreciate the concern Azmuth, but I don't buy your argument. The universe still needs to be saved, and I'm gonna do it!" Said Ben, though he did understand everything the old Galvan told him, that didn't mean he shouldn't do the right thing. Moka also stared at Ben, seeing how far he was willing to go not just for the galaxy, but her own kind. It made her heart swell.
"I won't allow it! I'll remove the Omnitrix if that's what it takes!" Azmuth threatened.
"You'll try..." Ben threatened in kind, putting his hand over the device, willing to fight Azmuth over this. Both inventor and wielder stared each other down, not blinking.
"Benjamin Tennyson, do not test me. If you..." Azmuth began; but then Moka, in a sudden burst of courage, took Ben's left hand and put it over her Rosario, threatening Azmuth in her own way. The vampire wasn't gonna lie, despite being a few inches tall, Azmuth had quite the poker face... but if Ben was gonna fight for her kind, she was gonna fight for his. Besides, this was so much bigger than that... this was now on a universal scale, and she wasn't gonna sit by and let Ben fight on his own. Her heart couldn't take it.
Azmuth just continued to glare. "So, if your gonna swap with her, will he swap with him?" Azmuth said. Though there were allot of aliens stored in the watch-like device, his tone of voice assured Ben and Moka/Inner Moka who he was referring to. "Don't try to deny it either, I know all about this other Ben. Which is my biggest concern, and why I wish to speak to the other Akashiya... now" demanded Azmuth.
Moka and Ben looked each other. Ben didn't say anything, but Moka gave a nod in understanding, giving him permission to take it off. Ben slowly went for the Rosario, they did the gazing thing (there was nothing romantic about it this time however)... and then in another burst if bravery, she quickly leaned forward and pecked Ben's cheek as he pulled it off. One light show and bat swarm later, Inner Moka was let out.
"So what is it? What do you want to talk about?" She asked in an annoyed tone. She surprised herself though, was she annoyed at the Galvan... or at the kiss? BAH! No way, definitely the Galvan... that's what she told herself anyway.
"The vampire... for some reason its an actual monster, one that Ben cannot control. Tell me everything" commanded Azmuth, determined to get to the bottom of at least 1 mystery tonight.
-TIME BREAK-
"So... Heatblast African-American, check. Psychic machine-bender, check. Doctor Doom wannabe... check" said Kurumu, going over the force she and Ben's team recruited. She did like Cooper and Alan, they reminded her of her Mate of Fate's various forms. Mike Morningstar/Darkstar however... eh, she's seen zombies that were 20x more handsome (she actually got annoyed with his macho act and yanked the helmet off... *shudder*, she REALLY wished she kept her temper in check that time). Ugh, and he had the nerve to call her and Gwen lovely! How the succubus wished a certain vampire was here to teach this egotistic jerk named after a breakfast sandwich company his place.
Gwen's cell phone then rang.
"Hello?... Yeah, what's up?... WHAT?! How did you...? *sigh* Fine, we'll be right there" said Gwen, hanging up.
"I suppose your going to get her now?" Asked Professor Paradox, though his tone suggested he knew this would happen.
"Who was it?" Asked Kevin, but the Professor was already teleporting them to their next destination before Gwen could answer.
-TIME BREAK-
"... and after I injected my blood into him, he woke up minutes later and used the watch, that's when the vampire was born I guess" said Inner Moka, explaining in detail EXACTLY what happened that fateful day. Azmuth just flicked the strands if hair down his chin, even he was completely baffled. Aside from Ghostfreak/Zs'Skayr, who wanted out of the Omnitrix and control over Ben, the vampire Ben didn't appear to want either of those things. Perhaps the opposite persona was mainly due to Inner Moka's DNA. But after hearing that the vampire sample was fully aware of everything, even knowing things he shouldn't, Azmuth was amazed but also worried for Ben's safety because:
1) Ben could remember little, if anything, during the transformation.
2) He wasn't in control of his actions, so like Ghostfreak, this transformation had a mind of its own.
3) It was powerful sure; so powerful it could bypass the fail-safe designed to protect Ben's sanity (AN: Not the 10 minute limit, the personality protection alone), grant Ben or his alien forms additional strength and speed, and could let itself out if it wanted to.
All these things made it useful... and a liability. Azmuth will need some of that human substance known as coffee, he's got a shitload of research to do after this is all over... IF they make it out in one piece. "Well, at least Alien X can be controlled after certain conditions are filled, but this transformation is too unpredictable. I may have to install a security lock so..." Azmuth was saying, but he was cut off by...
"No." Said Ben. "Yeah, this guy's a little eccentric..."
"A little?" Inner Moka 'asked'.
"... Ok... VERY eccentric. But he seems to be a good guy, he doesn't scare me when I change into him like Ghostfreak did. I think in his own way, he wants the best for me. I know that sounds crazy guys but... I can feel it, I guess" Ben continued.
"Flattery will get ya nowhere, kid... " said the Ben inside the watch. Ben couldn't help but notice that the inner vampire of himself spoke... somewhat softer.
Azmuth just sighed. This human was not going to back down which was a good thing, but now he sort wished he wasn't that type. "Very well, if you insist on this foolishness... Omnitrix, access Master Control."
"VOICE RECOGNITION, AZMUTH, ACCEPTED." Said the Omnitrix, coming to life. One blinding surge of green light later... "MASTER CONTROL HAS BEEN ACTIVATED. 1,000,871 NEW TRANSFORMATIONS; NOW AVAILABLE."
'Wow... Ben wasn't kidding' thought Inner Moka, there really WAS over 1 million DNA samples within the Omnitrix.
"Whoa... Master Control, sweet! It's like Niagara Falls all over again!" Said Ben, getting excited.
"You've unlocked Master Control before?" Asked Azmuth.
"Yeah. By accident though, why?" Asked Ben.
"Was this before, or AFTER you broke the face-plate?" Asked Azmuth, getting a little ticked off. Guess he already knows the answer to that. "Uhhh..." Ben tried to explain, but that's when the light of teleportation came back. Ben looked around, his team had returned and they set up quite the task force. The Human Torch's black counterpart, a technomancer, a not-so shining star, a human in a pink sweater and a... wait, what?!
"Julie?!"
"Hey, Ben."
"What are you doing here?" Asked Ben, not expecting his girlfriend to show up.
"What's it look like, I'm here to help" said Julie, softly. True she wanted to help Ben out of the goodness of her heart, and to prove you don't need superpowers to win against supervillains. That... and 4 additional reasons. She wouldn't lose her man to them... not without a fight. She put 2 fingers in her mouth and whistled.
"SHIP! SHIP, SHIP!" Went a dog-like green and black blob, hopping over to Julie and transformed itself into a giant battleship, the same battleship when it was kidnapped by the Forever Knights.
-TIME BREAK-
The fighters for our freedom drove and flew to Los Soledad, the location of an abandoned military base back in the 1950's. Its where the Professor got his abilities, and was also the construction sight of the jump gate... at least, it was supposed to be. Now there was nothing here!
"Why are we stopping here?" Asked Darkstar (AN: Gonna call Mike that unless I have him change into his handsome counterpart, makes this easier).
"I thought you said this was the place" said Yukari.
"You can't feel that?" Asked Mizore.
"Feel what?" Asked Ruby.
"It's cold... further down" said Mizore.
"I don't feel anything, you must've been in the sun too long" said Gin.
Cooper put a pair of goggles on, and was able to see a huge green barrier surrounding the compound. "It's another cloaking field, whatever's back there, they don't want it to be seen" he said.
"Alright guys, nothing fancy. We go in, destroy the jump gate, and get out so we can get home in time for dinner" said Ben, about to press his watch, but he stopped himself to say more. "One more thing. Whoever we were to each other before, friend or foe... none of that matters now. Today, we're a team. We look out for each other, we enhance each others strengths, cover each others weaknesses. We win, or lose... together."
"Hold up, Rambo! What about me?" Asked Vampire Ben.
'What about you?' Ben asked.
"I'd like a chance to kick some ass too, ya know."
'So I was right, you DO care. You and I really are alike, were both good-looking and down to earth...'
"Do I look like Gina fucking Carano? I just want something to hit. Maybe find a hot chick to pick up before dinner..."
'I'll use ya as soon as I possibly can, fair enough?'
"... fine, but I'm taking over if you royally screw up!"
'Dully noted.'
FLASH!
Ben's skin began to harden into stone, his 2 eye sockets merged into a wide visual organ with a single pupil, and he grew 6 shard-like spikes on his back and one on the top of his head. With the changed completed, Ben appeared to look like a purple, less-bulky version of Diamondhead. It was known as: "CHROMASTONE!"
With their mighty leader in an alien form now, the group followed his lead into the compound. It was a little freaky for the 4 monsters' that were not familiar with these situations when Chromastone walked into it and disappeared, but with everyone else disappearing inside, they just ran into it like Harry Potter did when going to platform 9 and 3/4. To the monsters' that were stuck in Japan, it was magic. For everyone else, it was extraterrestrial science.
And it was snowing... INSIDE the cloaking field!
"Brrrrrrr... should have brought a jacket" said Gwen, rubbing herself to try and keep warm. Yukari waved her wand, and a stylish jacket popped into existence around Gwen's body. "Ahhh, thanks" Gwen thanked the younger witch, the witch in question smiled brightly.
Mizore did a trust fall into a pile of snow. Everyone stared. "I don't see what's so evil about making snow, this place is amazing!" Said the snow woman, her monotone voice has been replaced by a girly one. She started to make snow angels. Right here, right now, for her... was heaven.
"Don't get too comfy... it's gonna get pretty hot soon" said Chromastone, gesturing to a small group of 6 DNAliens carrying something. One of them turned to see our heroes, and made a loud hissing noise. It was calling reinforcements it seemed, since laser fire barraged the invaders seconds later.
Mizore then got back up. "Awww. I was gonna ask if they wanted to build a snowman."
THE BATTLE BEGINS!
Gin, taking his true shape, ran with blinding speed, knocking any alien he came into contact with off their feet. Mizore, growing her crystal claws, sliced and diced any squid-faced cyclops in her path... not to kill of course, she was informed these things were also people. Kurumu, releasing her wings and nails, flew into action and provided air support with Julie and Ship; she would mess with the targets heads via illusion and also attack directly if she got an opening, while Ship blasted them away. The witch trio were protected by a pink dome of energy while crows, plant monsters', cards and of course, golden washtubs were summoned. Cooper got a little too trigger-happy, and fired missiles from a robotic suit he was wearing. Chromastone would simply absorb the lasers from the DNAliens, then return in kind. Inner Moka did her thing, kicking down the alien/human hybrids, she did tone down the force of her attacks upon request from Ben... didn't mean the smashing into walls felt any less painful for the poor souls though.
Some of the goo from the DNAliens caught Azmuth's foot like Mister Potato Head getting his shoes/feet stuck in gum from Toy Story 2. He pulled gently at first, then heard the sound of footsteps approaching... a few 100 pairs of footsteps. He pulled harder and harder, but it was like super glue. The hand of a gentleman picked the Galvan up.
"Need a lift, old chum?" Asked Paradox, but he didn't wait for an answer and sped off. Either he ran so fast, or everyone else moved too slow, it was hard to tell.
BLAM!
Darkstar went alone to fight the DNAliens his own way. He was doing fine and he was calmly blasting them away with negative energy... until one got the drop on him and punched his helmet off. Becoming angry that his ugly mug was revealed to the world, his power erupted and he took down these foul creatures who dared show his OWN face. Getting a thought in his mind, he started to absorb the energy of the defeated DNAliens, restoring his youthful appearance much to his delight. Maybe being a hero isn't so bad...
"STOP! Your hurting them!" Said Chromastone/Ben... ugh, talk about a buzzkill.
"This is a war for our lives, Ben. We do what we must to win it" said Mike.
"These are human beings Michael, like you and me. They're under Highbreed control, we take them down... but NOT out! Understand?" Chromastone ordered.
"How about this? You fight your way, I fight my... GAAAH!" Mike retorted, but was kicked to the ground by Inner Moka.
"You fight OUR way, or NO way. Got it, Zom-Bitch?" Inner Moka said, standing over him with one foot on his back.
Growling to himself, Mike returned the energy he stole to their rightful owners, returning this shining star into a Darkstar. He craved the energy coming this so-called "vampire", but he restrained himself, mostly cause she gave him the goosebumps. He didn't know where this energy came from, but it must have to do with her dyed hair or something. "Whatever. Your both fools. What ya gonna do, cure them?" Snapped Darkstar, picking up his helmet and putting it back on.
"That's actually... not the worst idea" said Chromastone. He was about to press the symbol in his chest but then, "You sure you wanna do that?" Asked said symbol.
'Of course I'm sure, why?' Asked Chromastone in his head.
"Your gonna waste your energy healing them, wouldn't be more effective to exterminate the source?" Suggested the Ben within.
'Ya gonna let me do my thing or not?' Chromastone asked.
With a growling sound, Vampire Ben gave in. "The things I do for you..." With the boost from the Omnitrix's vampire, Chromastone was able to cure about a few tens' of the DNAliens, reverting them back to their normal human selves. Sadly, the Omnitrix had to enter recharge mode due to its energy reserves being completely drained, meaning Chromastone had to return to the Omnitrix with Ben taking his place. The work from the task caused Ben to pass out. The voice of the vampire spoke to Ben, but he didn't hear it: "I warned ya."
Luckily for him, his cousin protected him with a mana dome from incoming laser gunfire from more DNAliens. Gin and Kevin just casually walked up from behind them and butted their heads together. "Ben, Ben wake up!" Said Gwen, trying to shake his cousin awake. Kevin helped Gwen pick Ben up, neither of them noticed the watch began to operate itself. Inner Moka did however, and shot it a glare, whatever good that'll do.
The self-operation ceased.
Vampire Ben: Man. I can't get any fun around here.
"Up and at'em, Tennyson. Now's not the time for some beauty sleep, even though you need it" said Kevin.
"Oooooh, what just happened?" Asked Ben, somewhat dazed.
"You wasted the Omnitrix's power on a pointless exercise, now it has to recharge" stated Azmuth, he and Paradox appeared in a white/brown blur.
"His intentions are in the right place, but in matters like this... timing, is everything" said the Professor.
SMOOSH!
Softness pressed into Ben from behind. "SWEETIE! Are you ok? I was worried Moka might have drained you to a husk" said Kurumu, not noticing the vampire. That or just ignored her.
KLONG!
Hardness bashed on Kurumu's head from above. "He's fine, now that I'm here!" Said Yukari, approaching Ben.
WHOOSH!
Coldness froze Yukari from the side. "I'll cool your aches down, then we can go off and make some babies" said Mizore, clinging to Ben from the side.
"Can we smother me later?" Asked Ben, getting out of her grasp.
-TIME BREAK-
Up in a tower, the Highbreed commanding the operation watched from a computer monitor as the numbers of DNAliens began to drop. That young blonde somehow converted his armored suit into ray guns that reverted his slaves back into humans. Of all the invasions he's overseen, something like this has never been done before! Their number of DNAliens dropped to 88%... 66%... 55%... it was not logically possible! It took months to enslave those worthless lesser creatures... now it was being undone by a mere 16 mongrels, despite the Highbreed's 10's of thousands of foot soldiers.
"This is impossible! That shape-shifting vermin must not be able to reach us!" Growled the commander, he looked slightly different from his other Highbreed brethren. Having a grey torso that spread to his shoulders like a vest, he was also a few feet taller and had 3 eyes on his face as opposed to 4.
"Our forces are routed master, I do not think we can stop them" said one of the DNAliens that were stationed up here.
"Very well... activate the jump gate. NOW! We must accelerate our plans for this pitiful worlds destruction!" Commanded the commander, pointing to 2 Highbreed officers that began to summon some kind of rock with glowing tentacle-like cords. He was losing his patience. He was not used to, nor did he plan on, losing. And he wasn't about to start today!
"As you command" said a Highbreed in the room, as he and his partner stuck their hands into the device, turning on the gate outside.
-TIME BREAK-
Kurumu and Gwen were the first ones to notice the giant arch starting glowing. "Uh... is that what I think it means?" Asked Kurumu.
"Guys, the gates powering up!" Called Gwen.
"What do we do then?" Asked Alan. Kevin and Inner Moka stopped what they were doing and looked at each other.
"Well, if you can't buy it..." started Kevin.
"You break it" finished Inner Moka. They both took off in a full sprint towards the hyperspace gate and jumped at it, a kick and double fist later...
BUZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
The Osmosian and vampire were thrown back like rag dolls. A blue raptor caught Inner Moka... the snow caught Kevin. "Ugh.. sure, catch your hoe before your bro" he mumbled.
"Not a damn dent! Isn't just made of metal?!" Said Inner Moka, her pride injured.
"Actually its neutronic carbon alloy. Perfect for preventing corrosion, weather and impact damage" stated Paradox.
"Jimmy Neutronic what now?" Asked Gin.
"Let's all hit it together then" said XLR8, putting Inner Moka down and changing into an alien with eyes all over his back and arms... probably since his ears take up all the room on his face. "EYE GUY!"
"Ewwww" said Yukari and Kurumu, not really liking the appearance of this particular alien. Since Ben now literally has eyes in the back of his head... er, his back anyway, he noticed some DNAliens incoming.
"Mizore, FREEZE!" He ordered, and she did just that. The remaining 21% of the DNAliens were frozen in a long giant ice cube.
"Heh, and Rein-ass-ig says they like things cold" chuckled Vampire Ben.
"On three... THREE!" Said Eye Guy, he unleashed a giant beam of green lightning from his hidden chest eye. Gwen, Darkstar and the 3 witches combined their power to fire energy into Eye Guys attack, making it stronger. Ship, still in battleship form, went all out and released everything his body could. Alan gathered as much fire as he could and threw it into the same spot were everyone else was aiming. Mizore launched ice crystals, it wasn't much but it was something. Everyone else just used the guns that Cooper made, hoping it would do something.
Their onslaught caused a dust cloud...
...
...
...
... nothing, the alloy didn't even chip!
"Well, this is looking promising" said Darkstar.
"We're too weak. This thing is huge and we're too small" said Cooper.
"Then we need to think big" said Eye Guy, touching his emblem and transforming into: "WAY BIG!" Ben didn't know how much time was left until this gate fully charged, so he'd better be safe and go all out than hold back and feel sorry. Gripping the underside of one leg of the arch, Way Big began to pull. At first, it didn't look like his effort did anything...
SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!
Something sounding like snapping cord came from the leg he was pulling. Everyone noticed it was working! "WAY TO GO, DARLING!" Shouted Kurumu.
"IT'S WORKING!" Shouted Yukari.
"KEEP GOING!" Shouted Ruby.
"YOU CAN DO IT, BEN!" Shouted Gwen.
While everyone else verbally encouraged Ben, Inner Moka didn't cheer him on, mostly cause of her own ego. She was stil smiling up at him. 'Not bad... for a human' she thought to herself.
While Way Big appreciated the motivation, he was beginning to struggle, this thing was heaver than it looked. "Need a hand, Ultraman?" Asked his emblem. "Ugh... if you don't mind..." said Way Big. His Omnitrix symbol glowed in dark green and energy began to flow into his body. Summoning every muscle fiber in his body, he pulled even harder, but even with the extra boost it was still proving to be a challenge. 'Come on... just... a little... more!'
HUUUUUUUUUUM!
The arch lights around it began to glow and dim, it was either about to blow or... "GET BACK, IT'S ABOUT TOO..." Paradox warned.
BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Way big was shocked quite literally, he and his inner vampire moaned in pain until they could take no more... and he let go.
CRASH!
He fell flat on his giant back, accidentally smashing a building (don't worry, no one was in there). In the middle of the arch, purple energy swirled... and ships about 30x the size of a Nimitz-Class aircraft carrier flew into the sky from within. Everyone, even the most stoic of them, could only watch as night sky was covered 10... 20... 40... 100 ships... and more was still coming. They looked up in amazement... and worry. Way Big was knocked out and glowed in a big green light. There... in a crater that even Godzilla couldn't fit in... lied our only hope, unconscious.
The Highbreed invasion... has begun...
