If you got an alert for this chapter, please comment "LEMONS" in the review section. Odd request, I know; but you'll understand why once you read the next paragraph. If you guys can also manually share this chapter update with friends who are interested, I'd greatly appreciate it as notifications are down again… if we have to wait another year for this to be resolved, I swear…
Welcome back! Sorry for the scare on the last small update. Just stressful hearing this site might die someday. I have so many memories here, as I'm sure you all do.
FanFiction… your sites on the fritz again. About half the users aren't getting ANY notifications now… for ANYTHING. Seriously, this is why some people, including myself to a degree, freaked out. And, did anyone else know this: only two or three people troubleshoot these problems… TWO OR THREE!… BRAH! I did some digging and found the domain is registered until 2028, so it seems we have time until they renew it or something (not sure exactly how it works)… or once this Cash Cow filled with ads begins to stumble, it will get slaughtered.
By the way, any Yu-Gi-Oh fans out there? I started a new story known as Yu-Gi-Oh: The Curse of the Rosario. Yes, its a crossover between the King of Games' series and Rosario+Vampire. Seems like an odd combo, but I noticed for a long time that archive seems to lack originality. Only an intro has been posted at this time but if your interested, why not give it a quick read? Its only a little over 1500 words, so it'll only be a minute or so of your time.
Ok. Rant over. Back to the fic. As you read this chapter, you'll notice a large portion of the battle scenes and speaking lines have been overhauled from the original Capu2's version. I feel this is much better for the story's direction. Enjoy!
(AN: Theme Song.)
Chapter 12: Vengeance + Vampire
Ben was running in the direction of the sound, since his watch still needed to recharge. Beeping noises came from his Omnitrix, the same ones from when Ship was trying to get help. "Ben? Ben! Are you there, Ben?!" It responded to him.
"Grandpa Max?" Asked Ben, recognizing his granddads voice.
"Ben, listen to me very carefully... he's back" said the retired Plumber.
"Who?" Asked Ben, though he could hear the dread in his grandfathers voice.
"Vilgax, you dork" said Gwen, her voice cutting in. Ben eyes widened a little bit.
"And you said you threw him clear into space," said Kevin.
"I did. Tossed him into the next galaxy over!" Ben said.
"Apparently that wasn't far enough." Commented Vampire Ben, though he was ignored.
"I'm sure he remembers; in fact, he's even stronger than he was before. He took down Ultimos' team alone, along with 10 other world heroes according to reports, an even all of us combined," Grandpa Max told them, sending a chill down Ben's spine. They barely were able to beat Vilgax back in the day. "He's also challenged you under the Galactic Code of Conduct. A Conqueror's Challenge." The Ex-Plumber continued.
"A Conquerors What-Now?" Ben asked.
"A Conqueror's Chall... *static* set up by the Galv... *static* limit the destruction caused by interplanetary wa... *static*" said Grandpa Max, but his voice started to go static at certain intervals.
"Grandpa? Grandpa!" Yelled Ben, trying to got ahold of his grandfather.
"It's this world. It's interfering with the Omnitrix. And with all the monster energy flying around, including mine inside, I'm surprised you haven't mis-transformed yet," said Vampire Ben. "And of course the Galvans would come up with such a smart idea like that... an intergalactic Purge film..." he continued.
"... -oth planets are able to... *static* warrior to represent them. The winner, has the legal right to rule both worlds." Max continued.
"And his tech's pretty sweet too... OW!" Said Kevin, a slap was heard in the background, probably from Gwen.
"And he's challenging me?" Ben accurately guessed.
"He is. He's probably on his way to your location now. Just be careful, Ben." Grandpa Max warned one last time, then the communication either died or the Plumber hung up. It was hard to tell.
-TIME BREAK-
This giant Creature that appeared before the girls was wiping the floor with them, and it appeared he wasn't trying too hard to do so. What kind of monster was this? Even the unsealed Moka had trouble with him. Was he S-Class, or beyond? To be fair, HE attacked first with some kind of red laser beam. The girls evaded it by moving to the side or jumping... the tree behind them wasn't so lucky.
Mizore tossed ice-type shurikens at him, but they had no visible effect on him, which surprised the Yuki-Onna. She at least thought some blood would be drawn, so she tried something stronger, this time using crystal-like pillars that shot up from the ground. Sadly, it only took a few swings from the Creatures sword to nullify Mizore's attempt as he closed in to strike her directly. Panicking, she quickly froze him solid in a block of ice and it worked... for 2 seconds before he broke free and backhanded the Snow Woman into a tree, the force behind it enough to knock her clean through it.
Ruby and Yukari tried using the Dark Ring of Containment, but it had absolutely no effect either. At least Kuyo was restricted for a few seconds; this Creature vaporized the spirit birds with lasers that came out of his eyes, chaining it each bird, AND just sliced the giant crow secondary effect in two with his sword when it reformed in the air and tried to divebomb into him. One of his gauntlets fired the red beam again, but the witches put up a magic ward to shield themselves... but it wasn't enough, even with their combined magical power (don't worry, they're still alive, just weakened).
The only ones left were Kurumu and Inner Moka, and they worked surprising well together, putting up a hell of a fight. Kurumu used her illusions to bring trees to life to try and overwhelm the Creature, but sadly the aliens sword burst into flames and sliced/burned them, making that trick useless. Also everytime Inner Moka would try to strike him, some kind of yellow dome protected him from every kick she swung, regardless of how fast and/or how hard she kicked; the Creature smirking at her with each failed attack. When Kurumu went for close combat, she was blown away into a gravestone by the Creature blowing a fierce wind from his mouth... don't even get her started on the smell! She'd rather bathe in Stinkfly's gel or use shampoo made of Goop's slime!
Inner Moka still tried kicking him, yet his shield kept protecting him. Using the last of her monster energy, Kurumu managed to cast an illusion on Inner Moka... and multiplied her by 4! The alien, not knowing with one was real, used a ray gun he pulled out of a holster to shoot each one. Some evaded better than others, but eventually all 4 of them vanished.
Wait, wasn't there...?
POW!
Right in the back of the head, the Creature was kicked, this time by the REAL Inner Moka. Admittedly, that did hurt a bit but despite that, he reached behind him and caught her before she hit the ground, and tossed her forward. She managed to recover in midair and slide along the ground, but she was getting extremely tired since she still hasn't fully recovered from this morning... that, and she hasn't taken her nap in her seal yet. The Creature turned to face his current opponent, but didn't try to attack.
"... What are you? Your not human, nor alien. Your actually making me break a sweat," said the Creature, then he noticed Inner Moka's breathing pattern. She was losing energy. "Why not tell me where Ben Tennyson is? Make this easier on yourself," he continued.
Inner Moka was losing strength, and fast. She couldn't keep this up much longer, but losing wasn't an option for her.
She rushed at him again, going for another kick.
GRAB! SLAM!
Inner Moka, despite her struggling, was smashed and pinned into a gravestone by the Creature. She thought the Highbreeds' were strong, this level of strength was incredible! Any harder, and her rib cage might puncture one of her lungs! "Perhaps you didn't hear me when I asked you nicely... Where. Is. Tennyson?" Asked the Creature, his grip tightening little-by-little as a tactic to get some answers. Inner Moka didn't answer him for a number of reasons:
1) Her pride (obviously).
2) The aliens grip... to an extent.
3) Her lo... er, care. For Ben's well-being... and his nutritional value, as she would have denied the former under normal circumstances.
4) And of course, because she really didn't know herself.
This was also a new experience for her, being restrained by a strong adversary, not counting Ruby or the Highbreed Commander. Normally it was one of the other girls that would be subdued, including the other half of her, and Ben would pull off the seal and release her so she could fight for herself. But he wasn't here... he wasn't here to help... she was on her own... helpless before this monstrous thing. She wished she could take it back, take back all the mean things she said back in the gym, all the insults when they first met... hell, she'll even try acting defenseless like Kurumu did sometimes, just to keep him by her side.
She needed him.
"If your not willing to share..." said the alien, reaching behind him and grabbing the hilt of his sword that he had put away. "Your of no use to me..." his weapon blocked out the sunlight as he raised it...
...
...
...
PEW!
The blade of death was knocked out of the Creatures hand by a green beam, then more green beams barraged at the Creature while he backed off. Not because they hurt, but because he was caught off guard. A red Manta ray landed in front of Inner Moka and the rest of the monsters', pinching the crest between his eyes in annoyance. "I can't leave you guys alone for a few hours without you pissing someone off, can I?" Said the manta, flashing green. "And of ALL people... him." Said a human, pointing to the Creature he shot away with his thumb. The Creature in question recovered, also getting his sword back, and his emotionless expression turned into a cold-hearted stare of hatred.
Vilgax: Tennyson...
Ben: Vilgax.
Hearing Ben reveal the attackers name made all monsters' flinch... twice! They thought Ben's inexperience at age 10 was the reason of his close calls with this alien. But to face him for themselves, coupled with the fact they were stronger than humans... there's no word strong enough to express what they felt. They were completely exhausted from fighting him for just a few minutes. Kuyo and the Highbreed invasion were walks in the parks compared to this guy! And Ben's tone of voice was darker, not as dark as his vampiric self, but it was unlike him all the same. It was a more serious tone of voice compared to his normal one.
Standing up, the alien now known as Vilgax spoke directly to his long-time adversary. "Ben 10, I've..." Vilgax began, but Ben cut in off.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah; I know. Can we skip the speech and get to the fun part?" He 'asked'.
"Oh, forgive me... was this a bad time?" Vilgax 'asked'.
Ben answered his nemesis while holding up a finger for each reason. "Well, now that you mention it; I'm still in school for another 2 hours, I need to pick up my homework from the classes I skipped, AND! I gotta get back to my dorm by eight... It's Sumo Slammers night."
BLAM!
A ray gun blast to the human was his answer. The girls gaped, unable to process what just happened. This can't be happening, not again. Vilgax was about to gloat in victory, but then a form floated from underground. "Nice to know your COOL about these things" said a familiar-looking Necrofriggian, flying toward Vilgax. The warlord attempted to punch his opponent, but he phased out and froze the warlord by flying through him. "Something wrong? Cold feet?" Big Chill joked, still in phase-mode. He had more to say, but Mizore called out to him.
"BEN, that won't..." she started, trying to warn him as she already tried that before.
"Guys, a hero has to finish his quips while he's defeating the bad guy. It's sort of a ru..." Big Chill was saying, but that's when Vilgax broke out, though it required using his laser vision this time as opposed just moving his body. Big Chill didn't try to get further away. Since he's phased out, Vilgax can't touch him, right?... That's of course, up until the yellow gauntlet glowed and somehow allowed Vilgax to grab the still-intangible mothman. "Wait. You can't touch something intangible!"
"I can't?" Asked Vilgax, then with that same gauntlet that was negating Big Chills intangibility, he shocked him with a surge of electricity.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Big Chill cried, pain flooding his entire body before he went limp, severely weakened.
Vilgax then dropped him. "Sorry. My mistake" He made a joke with an evil smile. The girls could only watch. It was odd to see Ben struggling while in alien form, for he's overcome odds thrown at him throughout this academy numerous times before. And while they were filled with rage at this as well, Inner Moka was the first to attempt to get back up. Her legs were very shaky, but she didn't let it bother her. She still fell back down to her knees after a few seconds, her muscles unable to support her weight. Kurumu even tried flaring her power again, but only a spark left and caused nothing of value to actually happen. Mizore managed to only get a mist to form in her hands... no ice for her to utilize. Ruby and Yukari did the same thing with their magic, but the same thing occurred. They only had fumes left to run on.
"Why don't... you pick on someone... your own size?… Oh right. You can..." Big Chill said, out-of-breath at firth, but then engaged another transformation by turning the dial on his Omnitrix symbol. A giant hand grabbed Vilgax and he was face-to-face with, "WAY BIG your size!" Seeing this, the monsters' calmed down a bit. According to himself, Ben easily beat Vilgax as soon as Way Big was unlocked.
"Grrr... you think I'll fall for this again?!" Said Vilgax, who managed to get a hand free and the gauntlet of said hand fired that red beam again at the fin on Way Big's head. Pain shot through Way Big's body like a bullet train, causing him to drop his adversary and grab his head in agony. "Even your most powerful alien is no match for the Ruby Ray of Ulo!" Vilgax continued... wait, since when can he fly?! He touched (well, pushed very hard due to its size) the Omnitrix symbol and Ben changed back... why was Vilgax the only one smart enough to do this to him?
SLAM!
The warlocks glowing fist barely missed Ben, who rolled away and transformed again. "BRAINSTORM! Vilgax, my most reoccurring antagonist, if I can't outfight you... I'll out-BRAIN you!" Said Brainstorm, opening his head and releasing lightning. Sadly; Vilgax just nullified it with what he called 'Shield of Ziegel', which was the same yellow gauntlet that negated Big Chill's abilities a minute ago, and rammed into the Cerebrocrustacean while the shield was still active, knocking him away. While airborne, Brainstorm managed to change into:
"STINKFLY!" said Stinkfly, buzzing around Vilgax and tried hitting him with slime. The Ziegel Shield defended the warlord from this, all while Vilgax tried to slice the insect in two, but would be just out of his reach. "Wow. And I thought I stink." Stinkfly made fun of Vilgax's lack of accuracy.
"Keep joking, child! It'll make my victory all the more sweeter" said Vilgax, grabbing the stinkbugs tail, surprising the alien fly and bashing him on the ground. Vilgax raised his sword, but a green flash attempted to blond him but he still slammed it down... and hit the dirt with it. Where did Tennyson go? "Enough hocus pocus; where are you, human?!" Said Vilgax, getting irradiated by Ben's fooling around. He heard a tiny buzzing sound behind him.
"Phew, that was a close one" said a glowing bug-like alien, an inch tall in size.
Kou: Nanomech here is the only alien in the watch the also human...
Nanomech: Kou, now's not a good time!
Kou: Hey, you get paid for kicking ass... I get paid for unless commentar...
SLASH!
Kou: (scared with wide-eyes, the sword of Vilgax barely missing him and Nanomech, then flies away) HOLY SHIT, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
A green flash came from above Vilgax...
"CANNONBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!" A shadow appeared over Vilgax, but he caught what was about to make him roadkill, and tossed him away. Cannonbolt, the cannonball from seconds ago, laid against a tree upside down. From his position, he saw Vilgax charge at him again with his sword ready. "Really, what is it with you and that thing? Personally, it needs..." said Cannonbolt, changing into: " An UPGRADE!"
The Mechamorph sunk itself just before Vilgax sliced him, though that tree had seen better days. Upgrade fused with the sword and got out of Vilgax's grasp, making it move and float on its own, just like the Black Knight Ghost from Scooby-Doo. Vilgax blocked each attack with his energy shields, but Upgrade did land a few scratches. "Heheh, look... no hands!" Joked Upgrade, stopping for a sec and continue his assault. Vilgax was getting REALLY annoyed, Ben hasn't changed much in the last 5 years, still cracking jokes while fighting. Having enough, he once again used the yellow gauntlet to zap the Upgrade-saber when he got his hands on the hilt. Although Upgrade did resist for a minute, he ultimately lost control and released the sword, going Ben once again.
For the 9th time, Ben transformed again into an alien with a floating metal head (which was stereotypically the most alien-looking face you'll ever see) in an arch between his shoulders. He had the colors of yellow and black in some spots on his body, had the emblem on his chest, along with feet and hands that looked like pincers. "LODESTAR!" Said the newest form, sounding a bit robotic. He then let loose some white rings from the pincers on his arms. Somehow, he lifted Vilgax by his techno-arm and spin him around before releasing his invisible grip and sent the opposing alien flying to the ground. Getting up, Vilgax used the ruby ray and shot Lodestars face... off, and into a dead bush. Lodestar's body began to move around aimlessly, Vilgax just watched with his arms folded. This wasn't his intention, but it worked.
"Hey, *whistle, whistle, whistle* buddy, over here! Uh no, not way. Warmer... warmer... cold... warm again... aaaaaand now cold... UGH! JUST PRESS THE BUTTON!" Lodestar's head called to his body, but then just ordered it to press the faceplate to trigger a new form instead. It didn't matter which one, just any to get out of this situation. In yet another flash, he changed into: "CHROMASTONE!"
Vilgax took out his ray gun again, but didn't expect Chromastone to absorb the fired shots and return them via a rainbow-colored beam. Because of this, the warlord was shot quickly skyward due to the potency of energy. The girls and Chromastone breathed a sigh of relief… until the alien returned, flying downward at equal speed!
BOOM!
The impact made the ground tremble, and the cloud of dust that formed blocked vision of the battle for a few seconds before it was restored. The girls had to look away for a second but when they looked back… Vilgax's foot was on top of Chromastones head, threatening to crush it. "If you yield right now, I can make your demise mercifully brief." Was Vilgax's solution, then stepped a bit harder on the Crystalsapiens head, pushing it further into the dirt and would possibly shatter the alien if it continued.
KLONG!
A random gold pot fell on Vilgax's head, but it just laid on top of his head due to it being flipped unlike its normal appearances. The warlord looked up at it in confusion before picking it off his head with one of his hand and bringing it into his field of vision, not fazed nor understanding the point of it. A few gravestones also slammed into him before they flattened themselves and wrapped around him like a large band-aid. It was Yukari and Kurumu, their wand and eyes faintly glowing respectively; showing they had just enough for another, yet weak attempt, to subdue Vilgax. An iceball and crow also flew at him, from Mizore and Ruby, they also having only enough for one last "attack". While the ice shattered due to have weak it was and the crow gave a small explosion, it was equivalent to that of a party popper. Even if they were greatly exhausted, they still refused to give up.
Vilgax aimed his Ruby Ray at the group of monster girls. "Your persistence is becoming very irritating."
FLASH! STOMP!
For some reason, Vilgax's foot was now missing Chromastone underneath him. When the warlord looked down in confusion, a single vine slithered across the ground and after getting some distance away from him, it reformed into: "SWAMPFIRE!" He then blasted the Chimera Sui with a torrent of flames from both palms. The sudden attack did cause Vilgax to stagger back a bit, but wasn't affected by the attack too badly due to his natural resistance to heat. In response, Swampfire gritted his teeth and increased the pressure of the attack, but Vilgax responded in kind by blowing a fierce gust of wind from his mouth, forcing the Methanosian to stop and brace against it. When the gust stopped and he looked back ahead, Vilgax was already upon him, and punched the fiery plant-like alien dead center with an uppercut, which he groaned loudly at. Just before he hit the ground, he flashed green and transformed back into Ben, rolling along the dirt in his place.
He didn't move for several seconds this time around, but then slowly began to rise, unwilling to give up. All the girls could do was stare in shock. They have NEVER seen Ben struggle this much against an opponent before, not even against the Highbreed. Just seeing Ben struggle to stand back up made their hearts sink. Was Vilgax really that strong? It appeared that no matter what alien he tried, Ben was having a hard time taking care of large alien. They couldn't begin to imagine how hard he must have been to beat back in the day.
"Are you prepared to die, Tennyson?" Asked Vilgax.
Ben finally regained his balance. Either its been awhile and he lost his touch, or Vilgax truly was much stronger than before. He didn't need to look back at his friends to see they were concerned and worried about him, he kinda sensed that was the case. The poor things must be exhausted from fighting such a powerhouse like Vilgax. "… You really… need to work on your bedside manner," Ben joked, pain in his gut be damned.
"Yield, Tennyson. I know every move you'll make; and any alien you select. Combined with the power of 10 heroes of 10 different worlds, there's not 1 form you can surprise me with." Vilgax taunted. His words also got the monster girls even more worried. So this Vilgax guy, could also absorb the powers of those he defeated? His dialogue seemed to suggest as such. So if he defeated Ben… they couldn't even finish the thought. That was CRAZY scary level of power Vilgax would be able to command if that was the case.
Ben was gonna retort with a witty response, when he had an epiphany just then from Vilgax's last line. There were 2 more forms left that he could try that did have (or at least he hoped) powers Vilgax wasn't familiar with, but both options had big risks. The first one… he didn't exactly leave the best impression. That only left the second one. But could he do this? Could he get it to agree and listen to his commands? Due to this stupid Code of Conduct thing, he was the only one who could do anything.
Its now, or never.
Ben began to activate the Omnitrix one last time before slowly dialing to the form he wanted. "Well, your right about that, Vigly. I HAVE hit you with everything I got…" Ben said as he operated the DNA alternator. While Vilgax didn't think too much of his statement, the girls however sensed something different about Ben's tone again. He was up to something, they could feel it.
Now because of the way Ben was positioned, they could see the holographic images as he scrolled down his roster. Fourarms, Ripjaws, Humungousaur, Benwolf; even going past this one alien that looked really badass that had a few horns protruding out of his head that none of them have seen befo… wait!… THAT ONE?! No way. He'll scroll past it, right?
"You've seen pretty much everything I can do…" the human continued, moving his fingers off the dial, seeming to confirm his choice. The monsters were now really concerned. Was this boy crazy?! He was gonna actually use it NOW?!
Kurumu: Ben, no!
Mizore: Don't use it!
Ruby: You have no control over it!
Yukari: Anything… anyone but that one!
The girls panicked because Ben didn't have any input when it comes to that form as far as they could tell, but their pleads fell on deaf ears. "And you've fought every Hero I have…" Ben raised his free arm up high.
"DON'T DO IT!" Screamed Inner Moka, the emotion all over her face. Ben looked at the conqueror of 10 worlds straight in the eye. Vilgax wasn't sure, but did the humans eyes just change color for a split second?
Ben: … So it's; Monster Time!
SLAM!
FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!
The green light was as blinding as usual, going skyward making a column of energy. The force of its eruption did catch the alien conquerer off guard as from all the times he's seen Ben transform, THIS was a first, and it forced him to brace.
"YOU AMERICAN IMBECILE!" Inner Moka yelled, as she and the monster girls also braced themselves from the surge of power.
It was too late, there was no turning back now, as the green bats fluttered above and swooped down to surround Ben as the transformation took effect. As for Vilgax himself… never saw THIS before. He could only watch as those bats that appeared out of nowhere swarmed around his #1 enemy, unsure what was happening.
(AN: Inner Moka's eerie music, STAT!)
When the blood of a vampire is absorbed by the Omnitrix, Ben's human self disappears, and his own vampiric power... is unleashed! The bat swarm stayed around Ben, not moving. As time freezes; the camera zooms into Ben's head is, the screen turns black, and then 2 Bens' are shown looking at each other as the camera pulls up to them.
"Ugh, this again? Look, Tara Strong; I already told you, your NOT the boss of me!" Said Ben, the vampiric one.
The human version mentally sighed to himself. What was he thinking, using his newly acquired Vampire Form? "Look, I get you have your own free will and all, but I can really use your help." Said Ben, willing to try and compromise.
"Hmm. We disagree on something… should get a third floating mask involved?" The Vampire Ben joked, though the human half wasn't amused. He was about to ask a different way when the vampire continued. "In all seriousness, I'd be more than happy too shove that sword up his ass and set it aflame, but I can't do that with you resisting."
"Can you just stop and listen for once?" Asked Human Ben, trying to keep his cool.
"To YOU? You can't beat your 1st major enemy without a 'Way Big' edge, even AFTER half a decade. Besides, I've always solved the problem my own way. Why SHOULD I listen to you?" Said Vampire Ben.
Human Ben pinched the bridge of his nose. This is exactly what he feared would happen if he chose this 'Hero'. "Listen, Benpire; can you plea-…"
"Benpire?" Repeated Vampire Ben with a bewildered expression.
"What?" Asked Ben.
"Benpire." The monster version questioned again, in a slightly higher volume.
"What!" Human Ben repeated his own question.
With a sigh, Vampire Ben (or currently named: Benpire) put a hand slowly to his face and dragged it down with equal speed. "Ok… Benwolf? That's fine… Benvicktor and Benmummy? I'm glad you changed those. Sound like names some fucking corporate monkey would come up with to sell toys," Was his first response, being as calm as possible, though you can tell he was aggravated. "Ripjaws. Fourarms. Big Chill. Spidermonkey. Ghostfreak..." The vampire continued as he paced back and fourth while counting off a number of Ben's aliens in varying tones, and continued to do so with Ben's entire roster as the human just stared watching him. "… XLR8. Wildmutt. Grey Matter. And finally; Goop… Stupid, childish; yet decently effective names." The vampire finally finished.
Ben tried not to feel too offended by the vampire's answer. He worked hard on those names! "What's your point?" Ben questioned, still not getting what the point of naming every single alien he had unlocked.
"Benpire… fucking Benpire…" The vampire then rushed into Ben's personal space, making the human flinch. "THAT'S WHAT YOU COME UP WITH?!" Was 'Benpire's' true question.
"Well; we're both Ben; just your the vampire," said Human Ben, which got 'Benpire' to deadpan. "… get it?"
The other Ben facepalmed. "Why?… Why did I have to be born in this kid? Why not the Gwen 10 timeline?" He muttered as he kept his palm to his face, yet it was still loud enough for Ben to hear.
Ben wondered if the name was the only reason, so thinking about it some more, "How about…" He then snapped his fingers, and with a finger point in the shape of a gun: "Nosfer-Ben?"
The newly named vampire looked like he was gonna protest, but then pondered on Ben's name choice. "… Not bad. Not saying its good either, but better than something like Ben-feratu. I can live with it."
"Done. Mind giving me the reigns now?" Ben requested.
"Sure… if you can get Gin to stop peaking up Moka's skirt when your not looking." The newly named Nosfer-Ben said. Ben gave him a look that said: seriously? "Aw don't look so surprised. He does it all the time." The vampire continued. Ben thought about having a serious talk with Gin next time he sees him... "And while I do appreciate the better name, I frankly don't believe you have what it takes to be a vampire," Ben looked annoyed as his vampiric half kept mouthing off. "And the longer we argue, the more time Squidward has to make a move. Now why don't you go sit in the corner over there, and let me do my thing!" Nosfer-Ben snapped, pointing behind Ben. Of course; there was nothing there, only emptiness, but still…
Ben was gonna retort, but realized the vampire had a point. Ben hasn't been a vampire or even a vampire-like alien before, but how will he know if he doesn't try? It was a struggle to move around with Nosfer-Ben fighting off his efforts, and he can't exactly let the vampire off without a chain. Who knows what he was gonna do on his own? His arrogance also rivaled Inner Moka's pride, so if…
Wait… THAT'S IT! It might backfire, but at this point it was the only option Ben had as mere words weren't gonna make the vampire budge. He just hoped if he received any pain that might follow, it wouldn't hurt as badly in his head.
"Oh, I get it. Your scared." Ben said in a silly tone and while smirking, making Nosfer-Ben's eyes go wide and his expression show shock.
"Excuse me?" Asked the vampire.
"You heard me," Ben still smirked.
Nosfer-Ben walked a bit closer to Ben while pointing to his left ear. "N-N-N-No… I'm actually a bit deaf in this ear. Can you repeat that?" He said rudely with heavy sarcasm.
"You. Are. Scared." Ben said mockingly slow.
Nosfer-Ben released a weak laugh like when you hear something you think is crazy or stupid. "Is this a joke?… Me? Scared of you?" He said while poking his own chest with an index finger, then used that same finger to point back at Ben.
"Yup."
"Bullshit!" Nosfer-Ben denied. "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard since picking 'C' for every multiple choice question! Why the hell would I; be scared of YOU?" He gestured to himself with both hands, then did the same to Ben.
"You fighting me proves it. The truth is, your afraid I can use your powers better than you." Said Ben. Of course, he didn't mean any of what he was saying right now, nor did he know it was the case either; but if this works, he might be able to trick his vampire half into giving him control without fighting him… assuming he isn't beaten to a pulp first…
"HA! So that's it? You think you can handle ALL of this?" Asked Nosfer-Ben, gesturing down his own body.
"Oh, I KNOW I can. But the fact of the matter is, your too chicken to find out!" Ben proclaimed. "I mean, it only makes sense. I've got a giant one-man army, gained the powers of most of my friends, and its only a matter of time before I'll re-access Master Control so there's no limit to my powers. Actually… I might not even need you at that point. I'm sure there's another, more powerful vampiric alien just WAITING to be released from the Omnitrix…" Ben continued, fully aware of Nosfer-Ben's rising ire such as clenching fists and teeth, and growling. This was especially more-so when he brought up not needing the vampire someday, but that was kind of the point. The human just hoped things wouldn't go sideways.
"Must feel kinda embarrassing too. How a mere human can control all these different abilities so wel-…" Ben continued some more, but stopped when he felt a dark power flaring behind him, making him nervous. He slowly turned around, but was grabbed by his shoulder and turned the rest of the way forcefully by an angry eyed Nosfer-Ben, whom look fed up at that point.
Crap! Maybe he went a bit too far…
However, then the vampire smirked and the ominous feeling went away. He let go of Ben by shoving him away, but not enough to knock him to the ground. Ben didn't like the look he had on his face. "… ok, asshole. You want it…" Nosfer-Ben began, then the vampires eyes glowed, and a dark aura slowly became visible around him. "Take it…" he answered in a slightly deeper tone. The aura started to blur Ben's vision before everything went black as he gasped.
….
….
….
Suddenly, Ben saw green bats swirling around and away from him. He could also see Vilgax looking at him with confusion, also in a braced state that he slowly began to exit. 'Whoa… what just happened?' Ben asked himself. The last he remembered was… oh right. He and his vampire version argued and he said to 'take it', but what was that supposed to mean? He lifted his arm halfway and glanced down at his wrist, but noticed his Omnitrix wasn't there! He got confused and nervous for a split second, but then REALLY looked at his hands and arms. He kept himself in shape, of course; but was he always this slightly buff? He also noticed his senses such as sight and hearing were a bit sharper than usual, being able to notice things he hadn't noticed before, such as every movement of the dirt (which was probably from the wind or insects or something) as well as the beating of a heart that wasn't his own… scratch that. Several hearts.
Wait a second. Did this mean…?
He felt his upper chest near his breastbone, and felt the symbol of the Omnitrix planted right on there… he couldn't believe it. For the first time since unlocking this form, he was fully aware. He was ACTUALLY in control!
'Whoa… this is…' he thought after realizing what happened. Nosfer-Ben gave him what he asked for, handing over the wheel to him. Getting a better feel for his new body; it surely felt different from most transformations he's had the pleasure of becoming. His senses, as mentioned before, were sharper. He also felt fully energized, feeling like he could fight for days without stopping! Sure the form didn't feel like the cosmic strength of Way Big, nor the sturdiness of Diamondhead; but it was raw, unadulterated power! Coupled with an unfamiliar energy flowing through his veins (which he educatedly guessed was monster energy), he's never felt anything remotely close to this!
'So this is what being a vampire feels like,' Ben thought. Did Moka feel this way too? Did Inner Moka? Or did all monsters? He had no idea, but it intrigued him to a degree. With all these new sensations he was feeling, it was no wonder the vampire himself was crazy sometimes. Even his potential "girlfriends".
"Alright, Benjamin. Ya got what ya wanted," Ben's heart stopped for a second, not expecting to hear Nosfer-Ben's voice. It looked like even DURING the transformation, he could still hear him. "You think you can be a better vampire? Prove it!"
Ben started to feel excited. This was it! He can finally use his brand new transformation on his own! 'Alright, let's do this!' He said, eager to finally try the transformation out.
"… Let's?… As in: we?" Asked Nosfer-Ben.
'Yeah, why? With the two of us working together, we'll…' Ben tried to respond, but Nosfer-Ben cut him off.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say that you can control me better than myself?" Nosfer-Ben asked in an annoyed-sounding tone.
Uh oh.
'Ah… w-what I meant was...' Ben attempted to explain.
"No, I think you were pretty clear; that apparently I'm too chickenshit to find out!" Nosfer-Ben cut in.
Ben felt uneasy. This wasn't the exact backfire he was expecting but considering he bruised a vampires pride with his words, he shouldn't be too surprised. 'Okay… I did say those things, but I'd still like your help bec...' Ben tried again, trying to somehow save face, but it didn't work.
"Oh, NOW you want my help? After you fucking dis me about it? Is that all I am to you? Some DNA suit you put on whenever you feel good and ready?" Asked the vampire in a very aggravated tone. "Ya know what? Screw you and your horny cheerleaders! When your body gets overwhelmed by my monster energy, DON'T come crying to me!" And with that, Nosfer-Ben went silent.
'Aw, man! Now what am I gonna do?!' Ben thought as he panicked. He really screwed himself this time. How was he gonna get through this now? He didn't know the first thing about being a vampire! Sure he's seen what Moka could do… and feel it depending on the context, but that's one thing. He now WAS the vampire, a monster, not an alien life-form which he's more experienced with. What was he gonna do, suck Vilgax to death?…
He might have just thrown up in his mouth…
"… Shouldn't he bring up a snappy comment right about now?" Asked Mizore, her and the monster girls expecting the Other Ben to do just that upon release… this did not occur. Why was he just standing there though? Vilgax might try to attack him!
Speaking of Vilgax, he wondered what exactly Tennyson did. He didn't appear to change much at all… was he mocking him? "I don't know what your trying to pull, Tennyson, but it won't work!" He said, thinking it must be some sort of what humans called: a fake-out. "Your death will be swift!" He then drew his sword again and charged at Ben.
The monster girls stared at Vilgax as he rushed at their crush. "Other Ben, MOVE!" Cried Kurumu, mostly out of concern for the Human Ben.
"I can't look!" Said Yukari, shielding her eyes with her hands. Ruby just stared in shock. As for Inner Moka, she was just as confused as Vilgax was a moment ago. Why wasn't the Vampire Ben doing anything?
Not knowing what else he could to do, Ben held out his hands and closed his eyes to brace for the incoming slash.
….
….
….
Huh. Didn't hurt as bad as he thought it would. Opening his eyes, Ben saw one of his hands gripping the blade of Vilgax's sword. Somehow, instinctively; Ben had stopped Vilgax's attack dead in its tracks. Vilgax, not fully grasping what was going on or why, attempted to pull away and try again. However, Ben's grip on the blade was like a vice, he and the weapon would not bulge no matter how hard Vilgax tugged.
This made Ben's confidence meter rise back up. Giving this forms strength a shot; Ben pushed up the sword into the air, which knocked Vilgax off balance, and jumped up to punch him straight in the chest. The power behind it unintentionally made Vilgax snap 4 trees in half while airborne, then he slid along the ground which made him slide through several gravestones and even more dead trees before eventually stopping a good distance away.
Ben looked at his fist in shock. He did all that with one punch? He didn't have to call on any monster energy to do that! He didn't know how to summon it, of course; but it was still highly impressive strength. '… alright. I think I got this,' he hoped. So far everything was working out… though why did Ben start feeling light-headed?
Even though the monster girls have seen the vampires strength before, it still shocked yet amazed them witnessing the incredible power this version of their friend/Snow Angel/Mate of Fate had. Surprisingly, Vilgax still managed to recover!
"That's it? That's the best you can do with my power?" Asked Nosfer-Ben, unimpressed.
'Aw, gimme a break! This would be allot easier if you actually helped me out here!' Ben told the Other Ben. Of course, there was no answer from the second one. Guess he's still mad.
Vilgax was baffled to say the least. How did Tennyson do that without transforming? Was this a new function of the Omnitrix?… Actually, now that he thought about it, why was it on his chest during his human form? Usually it only moves when he… wait. That can't be. THIS was a transformation? Then what was he? He still looked completely human, yet that punch held the strength of 100's of them in one blow. Getting irritated, he pulled out his ray gun again and fired several shots with it and the Ruby Ray in tandem.
Ben knew he couldn't stop laser blasts with his bare hands, so he evaded to the side. What he and even Vilgax didn't expect was how he evaded. Once he started running, he vanished in a blur and by the time he appeared again, he was already behind Vilgax in a split second. Ben used this to his advantage and ran in circles around his adversary, when Vilgax did try to fire either weapon, he ended up hitting nothing but an afterimage.
POW!
Out of nowhere, Vilgax felt a punch to the side of his face.
POW!
Another one, coming from the opposing direction.
POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW!
One after another, more punches that he couldn't stop where thrown at him. This reminded him and Ben of the time when they first encountered each other after the alien captured Ben and tried to remove the Omnitrix, but indirectly caused it to enter a frenzied state, switching from one alien to another. More specifically, when he became XLR8 and swapped to Diamondhead after getting thrown into a rock on Mount Rushmore.
Vilgax used the Ziegel Shield once more in an attempt to stop Ben. It worked, with Ben's attack being stopped by it, but the power in Ben's attack was also enough to break the shield. As Ben and Vilgax backed off of each other, Ben began to feel tired. He's been fighting Vilgax for quite a bit now, coupled with this weird feeling as he continuously used Nosfer-Ben's powers. Was this what he meant by "feeling overwhelmed?"
Vilgax was not only getting tired himself, but it also added to his annoyance. Why couldn't Ben just stay down?! Rushing at Ben and getting his sword ready, he swiped over and over again. Ben used his newly acquired vampire speed to dodge the attacks, and with the new strength in his limbs he was able to jump above Vilgax and then use both feet on top of his head to bounce off of him. The conquerer didn't stop, and just kept slashing and firing whatever weapon or ability he could use just hit Ben. As this happened, trees began falling over with each swipe. One tree was falling directly towards the group of monster girls. And in their current state, they could do nothing to stop or avoid it!
…
…
…
No crash came, but the shadow of the large tree was over them. Opening their eyes, they saw Ben had rushed over, and was holding the tree away from them. They were genuinely surprised that the vampire went out of his way to protect them.
Kurumu: He…
Yukari: Saved us?
Don't get the girls wrong, they appreciated the save, but why would he do this out of nowhere? Based on their earlier interactions, especially on the moon base for two of them, Vampire Ben didn't seem to be the type to help out of the generosity of his heart, only act on trying to prove something or self-preservation.
Ben was gonna ask of they were alright when Inner Moka spoke up. "What? You think holding up a tree makes us friends now? This changes nothing." She said to him in her normal tone, thinking it was the asshole version of Ben.
"Really? Even though I'm so adorable?" He joked, and his tone of voice made Inner Moka visibly shocked. That wasn't the normally arrogant voice she was used to hearing from him, it was different, yet familiar. Looking at him, he was shown to be looking back at the monster group. Though his eyes were still dark green, there was a softness in them that was reminiscent of the normal Ben.
"... Ben?" She asked, her guard was still up in case this was a prank from the vampire Ben.
"Ben?" Ruby repeated Inner Moka's question.
"Wait. Ben?" Asked Yukari.
"Our Ben?" Asked Kurumu, both her and Yukari wanting to make sure this was the Ben they were familiar with. If it was, that would certainly explain why he didn't act like the vampire inside.
"Ben… is that really you?" Asked Mizore, hopefully.
"Ya know anyone else this good-looking?" Ben joked, confirming it was him, which made the girls both surprised and relieved. So Ben finally had control over the vampire form? Then again, they shouldn't be too surprised. With Ben around, they've learned to expect the unexpected. Ben looked back at Vilgax, but then felt really strange. His vision was beginning to slowly cloud up by black mass like when Spider-Man was possessed by a symbiote and stayed in that suit for too long. "And you… need to work on your aim," he managed to taunt Vilgax, then tossed the tree at him. The alien just sliced it in two with his sword, the two halves passing him harmlessly.
Ben was starting to feel even more lightheaded. He didn't know how much longer he could handle the vampires power, but he'd better end this quick all the same. Both mortal enemies stared into each others eyes, seeing both sides were getting exhausted, but both refused to quit.
Steps were taken. Both charged… and fists were pulled back...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A cloud of dirt/dust and blowing wind from the force of the blows was the result of the contact between both combatants; then silence. The girls were concerned. Who won that attack?
…
…
…
As the dust began to settle, Ben was shown on top of Vilgax in a carter they just made, holding his beard of tentacles with a fist still raised. The alien in question had a nice black eye and the metal around his head was dented. "Say it..." said Ben.
"I... yield..." said Vilgax, defeated. He wanted to continue, but none of his muscles responded to him.
"Yeah... you... do..." said Ben, slowly. That's when his vision fully blacked out, then he fell back off his adversary and onto the ground. In a flash of green, he was human again… passed out. He barely heard a voice in his head say: "Not bad, Ultra Ben... not bad at all."
The moment the fight ended, a form seemed to appear out of nowhere. Teleportation maybe? Regardless, the life-form was shown to be Psyphon, Vilgax's newest henchman. "Master? Have you finished off…" he was saying, but then noticed the monster girls, as well as Vilgax beaten and an unconscious Ben next to him. The girls were surprised at his appearance, and judging by him calling Vilgax 'master', it didn't take them long to deduce that he and Vilgax were on the same side. Before either side could do or say anything…
WOOSH!
A blur shot past Vilgax, and took the unconscious Ben with it. The girls got immediately concerned, but then the blur reappeared and was shown to be a blue raptor holding Ben.
"Hellen?" Asked Kurumu. As they began focus on the sudden appearance of an old ally, Vilgax began to get up, but that's when the clocking of weapons were heard. A skinny Fourarms was pointing 2 high-tech guns at him with one set of his arms. Vilgax looked like has was gonna get up and attack…
"I wouldn't do that…" Manny, the skinny Fourarms said, pointing up with one of his arms from his second set. Looking up, both Vilgax and the girls saw in the sky, were hundreds if not thousands of ships. They differed in size and shape, but all looked formidable. A few hundred of them were small and looked almost like knockoff versions of X-fighters from Star Wars.
At his full strength, Vilgax would have no problem dealing with them; but seeing as he was severely weakened, he slowly rose up and stood at his full height with some difficulty. Whatever form Ben just used really packs a punch.
"You ok, kids?" Said a new voice, and elderly one they all recognized. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice to see coming from somewhere in the woods was…
"Max?!" Said all the monster girls in unison, seeing as well as the other Plumbers Kids. The only one who was silent was Inner Moka, but she was just as surprised to see the old man again. He was also wearing some kind of uniform unlike the last time they saw him. It must be a Plumber suit or something. He looked quite badass in it too. They even noticed Vilgax stared at the retired veteran with as much ire as Ben.
"The hell are you doing here? And the trainees?" Asked Kurumu. They of course, had a pretty good idea WHY he was here, being there was an over 10-foot tall alien in their world.
Now its not that Grandpa Max ignored her, but turned his attention to Vilgax. "Vilgax… as per the rules enforced by the Galactic Code, you have lost this contest," he said, which got the monsters' surprise to reach maximum levels. A contest?! THAT'S what this was? They didn't know what the Galactic Code was, but it sounded serious from Max's tone. "Therefore; you must leave this planet, and are forbidden from returning to attack it ever again. Do you accept these terms?"
That last line struck a nerve in the monster girls, even Inner Moka. So if Ben lost…
Vilgax was silent and held a neutral expression, then slowly smiled. "No," He began. "For this isn't the world I chose to conquer. In fact, its not even human," said the warlord, thinking he found a loophole. "It took me a minute to realize it, but this is the realm of monsters, is it not?" Vilgax continued. "Therefore, this entire challenge is completely invalid. And I'm pretty sure the Plumbers won't want to get into a legal battle with the Dark Lords after the… incident." He finally finished. Max just looked up at him with a hardened glare, which got Ben's harem concerned again. Was what Vilgax saying true?
Also… what incident?
"… Please tell us he's bluffing." Mizore requested, she and the others would rather not want to deal with such a monster like Vilgax again, but the old Plumbers expression did not change. There was silence for a good five seconds…
"Not exactly." Another new, yet darker voice spoke from out of nowhere. Also appearing out of nowhere, walking towards the group, was a man in hooded robes. The same man Miss Nekonome went to when Ben was charged with the crime of going to this very school last year.
"Who the hells that?" Asked Kurumu in a whisper, not knowing who that was. Normally, Yukari would slam a washtub in her head right about now, but even the smart loli had no idea whom that was either. Mizore and Inner Moka included. Something about him also made them feel a little uneasy, he gave off quite a weird vibe.
"Mikogami…" said Ruby. Apparently she knew him.
"Who?" Asked Inner Moka.
"Tenmei Mikogami. He's my new boss after agreeing to volunteer here… and is also the Headmaster of Yokai Academy." Ruby revealed. This came as a shock to the rest of the girls; as rarely anyone hears about, let alone even sees, the Headmaster of this boarding school. They knew he existed of course, but he always seems to keep to himself. He's never even at welcoming ceremonies or important events! The Headmaster continued to walk towards the group til he finally ended up next to Grandpa Max, showing no fear at Vilgax's mass.
On the contrary… he smiled in a sadistic manner. He stood silent, checking Vilgax out. "Vilgax, is it?… heheheh, I expected you a little taller," Tenmei said, at the very least having a sense of humor. "… Yes, its true we don't exactly see eye-to-eye on some issues. And yes, we aren't the biggest fans of the Code ourselves…" Tenmei continued, still not losing that grin. In fact, it just got wider a second later. "But this is still monster territory, as well as my region of the Barrier…" he told the warlord, who began to scowl. "So as this is my jurisdiction… I declare this challenge completely valid."
"You…" Vilgax growled.
"Or, if you'd rather; we could get Judge Domstol involved. I'm sure he'd love to vist Earth and have a delightful conversation…" Tenmei added to his ruling, still not losing his creepy smirk. Again, it seemed to get bigger. The monster girls had no idea who this Domstol guy was, but if it got this big of a reaction from Vilgax, it must be serious.
"… fine. I acknowledge the terms," Vilgax said in a defeated voice, which the girls couldn't believe. Even though this was their first experience with him, they never thought they'd see him give up. "But this is FAR from over. I WILL have my vengeance… one way or another." As Vilgax made that closing statement, he directed his attention to the females who dared to stall him. It didn't take them long to realize that in addition to Ben… THEY also had targets on their backs now. They all matched his gaze despite what could have happened if Ben didn't show up.
"Until then, take a hike." Said Inner Moka with as much snappiness as she could, also pointing to the side with a thumb. After she said that, Vilgax and Psyphon glowed for a quick second before they disappeared, having teleported away. To where? Hopefully FAR away from here.
Tenmei then looked at Grandpa Max, even after all that, the smile STILL never left his face. "…. this never happened."
"What never happened?" Grandpa Max responded with a smile back to the Headmaster. With no other words, Tenmei (still smiling) bowed to Max and walked away, most likely back to school. "… He won't be bothering you all ever again," he said, directing his attention to the students. "Be sure to tell Ben I said hi." He finished. Helen then handed the unconscious human shape-shifter to Inner Moka, who had no choice but to grab him with how fast Helen moved. Grandpa Max then began to walk away.
"Wait. Your leaving?" Asked Yukari, confused. Yes the retired officer was human, so he wasn't exactly allowed here, but it appeared (or at least they hoped) Tenmei wasn't gonna press charges or anything. Furthermore, this was Max's grandson who almost died in front of him, and he seemed like the type of grandfather that would do anything for his grandchildren.
Surprisingly, although Grandpa Max stopped walking off, he did not turn around to answer. "… stay safe, kids." Was the old mans only response before he continued to walk off. As he disappeared into the forest along with the Plumbers Kids, the ships above began zooming out of sight one-by-one. The girls could only look up as the skies cleared of Plumber ships.
-TIME BREAK-
One final ship that was on the ground stayed behind, and that's when it began to rise up and once it got above the trees, zoomed off into the sky. As it approached the outskirts of the campus, it suddenly stopped as if waiting for something. Instruments on the cockpit were beeping, as of trying to tell the captain something. Grandpa Max, who was at the helm, stared ahead patiently with a hardened glare.
Back at Yokai Academy in an undisclosed room, Tenmei was seen watching a screen that showed the last ship approach the invisible Barrier. He then touched a table that had a Rosario cross, one that looked strikingly similar to Moka's, and it dimmed slightly. This somehow caused the Barrier to open a hole just large enough to allow the ship through, and the alarms in the ship went silent. Max then continued his journey, out of the realm of monsters and back into the skies of the human world as the Barrier (showing the monster realm behind him) closed back up.
As he flew the ship back to Plumber HQ, he began to have flashbacks. One was a castle, another was a vampire with the same pink hair as Outer Moka but older, the third was tentacles encasing the castle from the first flashback, and the final one… was him in an office with several Plumbers (human and alien), sitting across from the robed man who just declared Vilgax's challenge was perfectly legal. The robed man also had files slid across the table towards himself of a certain individual… files of Ben Tennyson.
The flashbacks then ended, with Grandpa Max still having the hardened look in his eyes. "I'm sorry, Ben," he said to himself. 'Tenimei… this plan of yours… I really hope you know what your doing, getting my grandson involved in all this…' he said in his thoughts as his ship continued to fly off into the distance as he had one final image in his brain from the Conquerors Challenge…
Ben transforming… into Nosfer-Ben.
-TIME BREAK-
The monster girls helped Ben back to his room, who was still out of it the entire time. Of course, many students felt jealous of them, but a majority of them kept it to themselves. Once they placed him in his room, safely in his bed, they all left, as there wasn't much else they could do. Even Mizore and Kurumu suppressed their urges to take advantage of the situation. Ben had a rough day today, and they didn't need to add more to his plate right now.
As the door closed, the camera pans back towards Ben, then focuses on his Omnitrix. It glows with dark green light as we now zoom into it.
Passing through circuitry and green liquid, we pass some of Ben's unlocked aliens (like Wildmutt, Spitter, Wildvine, etc.) as well as other forms and DNA samples that are not currently available to him. This continues until we come to a human shaped one, who was sitting on some solid hardware-like material, but he was looking down. His body was glowing just like the Omnitrix was outside, then slowly looks up at the screen towards the reader.
So there you go, although the form of Nosfer-Ben beat Vilgax, it was Ben himself that did the work. He was actually going to try and kick Vilgax THEN discover the strength in his arms, but I think it might have ruined the mood for you guys if I wrote that down. Gotta save the comedy for the perfect timing.
Hope you enjoyed this overhauled rewrite of this chapter. Until then, see ya next time! :D
