A Spy's life Reboot EP 23: Curse of the Deep
I don't own anything except my OCs. Ripjaws' appearance and voice actor is from Omniverse, but with different clothing.
In the middle of the night at beautiful Monta Carlo, 2 lone divers were swimming deeper and deeper into the darken ocean until they came across a wrecked ship, peaking their curiosity as they went to explore it. As they swim around it, they discovered, much to there luck and glee, a treasure chest full of gold coins. As one uses a sack to fill there loot, another felt something swims pass them with a growl, making the man look around as he swore that he felt something was watching them. As the man recovers and helps his partner fill the bag, they noticed a large shadow is covering them as they glanced back to a huge creature behind them, roaring right at them as they screamed in terror!
Intro:
The screen is black, only for a bolt of green lightning to makes a flash of white light as upbeat music is heard.
Ben stands as he is smirking at the camera as a black with green bubbles background is behind the tween, making the boy raise both his arms and shows off his new Omnitrix and then slaps down with a grin, making a flash of light.
"BEN 10!"
"He's a kid and he wants to have fun!"
Upgrade with hands on hips appears as a close-up of his face shows up in the background as a bolt of lightning comes down.
Big Chill flies across and freezes as the same thing happens to Swampfire, leaping out of an explosion.
"But when you need a superhero, he gets the job done!"
"BEN 10!"
Shock Rock smashes his fists together, sending out waves of electricity that affects the 4th wall.
"With A device that he wears on his arm."
"He can change his shape and save the world from harm!"
Ben poses with his Omnitrix, just as headshots of Shock Rock, Water Hazard, Big Chill and Crashhopper show up, one-by-one.
Rath was staring at Grey Matter, who hopped along a bunch of platforms with the watch symbol on it as the tiger alien was confused before it turned into rage as he held his head in anger.
"When trouble's taking place."
Ben was then running towards the screen.
"He gets right in it's face!"
"BEN 10!"
Humungousaur, Slapback, Fasttrack and Gravattack's headshots show up as well!
A green circuit board background is shown as 5 aliens show up in a row as Ben was staring at the 4th wall as his right side is shown. The aliens are Shock Rock, Fasttrack, Rath, Swampfire, Gravattack and 4 Slapbacks.
"When lives are on the line."
The same thing happens with his left side as more aliens appear. The aliens are now: Big Chill, Water Hazard, Grey Matter, Humungousaur, Crashhopper and Upgrade, which is still in normal form.
"It's hero time!"
"BEN 10!"
It ends with Ben and Alex, standing side to side with crossed arms and smirks as well as Normie and Madison on Ben's side and Sam and Clover on Alex's side the title appears above.
At Beverly Hills JR. High, Ben and Normie were walking down the hall as they talk. "Man! That Math test was hard! I thought my brain was going to blow up from all those questions." "You think you have it bad? I had a chemistry pop quiz, last period. CHEMSITRY! The one subject I completely suck at! It's like no matter what dimension I'm in, school is always bad." Ben points out with a frown "Well, it's not as bad as Summer School…" Both boys shivers at the thought as they got a cringing look. "We seriously need a break from all this." Normie groans out as he gestures to the school
Ben's phone went off as he answers it. "Hello?" "Hey, Ben! It's Maddie. I just got a call from those Forever Knights guys, saying they have a new mission for us." "Got it! Thanks, Mads!" Ben hung up as both boys heard a noise and checks to see it coming from Ben's Locker, making him open it to see a portal. "Dude, are you sure we can trust these Knights, after what you told us about your version?" "No! I don't trust them enough to throw them far as Humungousaur! But until I get proof that they are up to something, I might as well go with the flow on these tin cans." Ben replies as they both enter and shuts the locker door.
The 2 meets up with Maddie, who is already there as Sir George greets them in his throne room. "Greetings, Tennyson and friends. There have been reports of a missing diver that disappeared from the Harbor of Monta Carlo." "A missing person? Doesn't that sound like the Police's job?" "Not quite… The missing diver has seen an unknown force of strange kind, possibly supernatural, before vanishing. Another diver got away and is the witness. We want you 3 to investigate and find out what caused the diver to disappear."
Normie spoke out. "I'm just going to say this from the start: A giant, one-eyed squid monster with a taste of human flesh has risen from the murky deeps to eat! Just like in my favorite movie: 'Beast beneath the sea'!" The blonde did a creepy expression as Ben crosses his arms and responds. "Or… it could be a Kraken who is missing some eggs? That's what happened the last time I was involved with something like this." "Either way, boys. We won't know until we check it out." The girl spoke out as George spoke out. "Correct, young maiden. My knights have already loaded your copter with scuba gear you will need. Good luck, young squares!" Sir George spoke he pushes on his armrest and sent the kids out through another portal. "WHOOOOAAAA!"
The Omni-copter landed on the outskirts of Monta Carlo as the kids took the Buggy into town. The trio walks around and were impressed by the sights. "Cool! You know what I love about being a spy and Paranormal hunting Superhero, guys? Seeing cool places that not in your country! And after being in space a few times, I think I got a whole new respect on travel." Ben grins out as the other 2 gazes around, exploring all over. "This can be an awesome Spring Break spot!"
"I know! I got to talk to daddy about hanging out here." Maddie smiles out as Ben smiles at his friends. The purple haired girl then realizes something as she sighs out. "Of course… if the older spies and adults were here, they would say work first then play." "Got it! So… Who do we talk to?" Normie fishes out the card one of the Knights gave him and spoke back to Ben. "Stephan the Diver. Let's check by the boats and see if—" Suddenly, a monster roar along with a shake cut him off as people panics as they kids ran towers the source.
The trio stops at a large part of the balcony look like it was bitten off as Madison notices the shaking coming from a collapsing column. "Ben! The column!" "On it!" Ben cries out as he slaps down on the Omnitrix, transforming into Rath as he quickly dives in, swimming and using his strength to stabilize the pillar. "Oh yeah! No stupid pillar gets broken while Rath is on the job!" Rath quickly climbs and leaps out and shakes his fur dry.
"You know, I always wondered why Rath is not scared of water, dispute being a cat?" The blonde preteen ponders out. "Because Rath is not scared of anything! Because fear runs from the Rath! Because Rath can kick its butt and mail it to the hospital!" Rath declares out as he flexes his muscles as Maddie responds with a sigh and sweat drop. "Just ignore it, Normie. It's an alien thing."
The blonde frowns out as he gazes around, only to find something interesting as he picks it up. "Whoa… Check this out!" He picks it up to show a huge tooth as the girl asks. "What's that?" "A tooth… But really big." "A clue…" Rath comments out as Normie notices some slime on it as well. "Let's see what the knights have to say about this." Using the disc to scan it, the device starts analyzing as it got the results. "Whoa! That's fast." Normie comments as Maddie reads it. "According to this, it's a monster tooth!" Normie grins out as the girl got an annoyed look. "Okay! So, there is a monster running around. Let's talk to Stephan and see if we can learn some more."
The team of young monster hunters went down to the boats to meet the man, Stephan. They started to talk to him and ask him questions on what happened. "I wish I can tell you more, but I don't know." "Well, start at the beginning, anyway." Ben spoke out. "We were leisurely swimming when the water suddenly got very cold. Then splashing… Then some sort of shadow. And my friend was gone. That's all I can remember." Normie frowns out. "Not much to go on, dude."
Ben looks up and saw the clouds were forming as it was starting to get storm like. "Just like before… Brace yourselves! Things are going to get rough!" Suddenly, there is a brief shake as people screamed as something was moving underneath the boats, grabbing and dragging one away from the others and then sinks it, all while the 4 watched from their boat. "Well, it's clear on what to do. We're going scuba diving." "Wait! In there?! Where the monster is!?" Madison cries out as she points in fear at the water as Ben gave her a questioning-look as the girl sighs out. "Why didn't I stay home with the press conference for my daddy, instead?"
After heading back to the copter for their diving suits, Stephan drove his boat out where his friend was as the kids suit up and dives in. As the kids swim through the ocean water, they can't help by amazed how beautiful the sea looks when under it as Maddie breaths out in awe. "Wow! Look at this! It's pretty!" "Okay! This is cool!" Normie spoke out as they dive deeper and deeper. "I know, right?" Ben spoke out from his experiences at swimming underneath as Ripjaws. "Sure, wish I was Ripjaws, through." Ben mumbles out, sometimes missing his old aliens.
As the kids kept swimming, they stumbled upon a sunken ship. As they explore it, Maddie spots something glowing on the sand as she picks up a gold coin. "Whoa! Check this out!" "And check this out!" Ben spoke out as they look at a tunnel that is sucking in water like a vacuum. "I'm willing to bet my watch that's the monster's lair." "Are you sure about that?" "One way to find out!" Normie grins out as both boys drag Maddie into the rapids as she screams, hanging on as the trio were pushed at fast speeds through the tunnel.
After being tossed and turn, the kids surfaces into a hidden cavern as they gazes around. "Looks like a normal cavern to me, guys." The girl points out. "But I was sure this where the monster is?" Ben mumbles out in confusion. Maddie then pulls out the coin she found as Normie notices. "By the way, does this coin have anything to do with what is going on here? I found it in the wreckage, looks important." "Hey!" Normie grabs it as he examines it. "This reminds me of something from 'Beast beneath the sea'!" "What?" "Something about gold… or a treasure…" "How can you forget about something from your favorite movie?!" Normie shrugs out at Madison. "It's hard to remember everything about it when you have different favorite movies."
"Let's try the Legendex." Normie decides to bring it up on his suit's computer as just then, Ben felt the water getting cold, just like Stephan said before. "Uhh… Guys! The water just got cold." "I'm searching… Give me a sec." "Meanwhile, Water Hazard's going deep sea diving." Ben decides to slap down on the Omnitrix, only to make a big flash of green light.
Scales grew all over the boy's arm as his hand became clawed and webbed as well. Ben felt gills growing out of his neck as a lure burst out of his forehead like a pimple. His teeth became razor sharp and grew so big they stuck out of his lips. The transformed kid threw his arms to the side and lets out a gargled roars as he poses.
"Wha... ALL RIGHT! Ripjaws is back, baby!" Ripjaws cries out in glee as he is now one of his original 10 aliens! He mostly looks the same as he did before, except he now has a neck brace that covers the top of his shoulders and upper chest area that has a green outline and has black arm braces with 3 white stripes on them. The Omnitrix is now on a green and white belt on his waist. "Cool! A fish man!" Normie calls out as Madison studies Ripjaws. "So... this is one of your original aliens when you first got the Omnitrix?" "Yep! Stay right here! I'll be back!" Ripjaws dives down and forms his tail, smiling at it. "My old sea tail... I miss this." Ripjaws sighs out with a smile as he swam off as Madison gets more and more scared.
"Well... Hurry! I'm getting a little worried…" Maddie shivers out as Normie found something!" "Bingo! The Legend of the Leviathan dates back 3,000 years. This sounds promising." Suddenly, Ripjaws screams from underwater as a large shadow passed beneath them. "BEN!" The kids quickly follow after the large shadow as Maddie quickly fires a tracking device from her left wrist, latching on the creature.
The kids managed to make their way out of the cave as they look all over for their friend. "Where did he go?!" Normie activates his tracker as the red dot indicated their friend's location. "This way!" They kept swimming as fast as they could, trying to find their friend. As they swam over some coral, they were shocked and scared at a huge, green scaled, sea serpent monster, floating in front of them. "Uh… Normie? Does the monster from your movie look anything like that?!" "Nope! I told you it was a giant, 1-eyed squid, not a sea serpent!" The Monster growls as it notices the 2 kids, floating in front of them. "Maybe if we stay still, it will ignore us?" Unfortunately, for the blonde boy, the monster roars and sucks them into it's mouth as they screamed on top of their lungs.
The 2 tweens managed to recover and activates their flashlight, revealing the pinkness innards of the monster. "Isn't the paranormal cool, Maddie?" "You're joking, right?" The 2 starts walking around, trying to figure out where they are when they spotted Ripjaws. "BEN!" "Guys!" They all hug as they chuckle. "Dude! We were looking for you!" "Yeah… When I was investigating, I ran into the monster and tried fighting it, but it was tougher than it looks and swallowed me whole." The alien answers Normie. Just then, a man appears, wearing a diver suit as well. "Please tell me this isn't the 'rescue squad', you mentioned?" "Oh! This is Lance, found this dude wandering around in here."
"Well, now we just need to figure out a way to get out of this hulking monster!" Normie ponders out as he comments. "Or at least, try and remember how 'Beast beneath the sea' ends?" "Everyone disappears at the end of that movie." Lance deadpans as the blonde kid exclaims with a grin. "Oh, yeah! What a great ending! Uh… For a movie! Going with a different option in real life, though." The beast then roars as it shook itself, making Maddie stumble until Ripjaws grabs her. "Careful! Don't fall there! That's the monster's stomach! You fall down there and your toast."
After settling down as Ripjaws times out, Normie pulls the Legendex back out as he looks up the monster. "What does this thing what?" Normie responds to Madison "It just wants it's treasure." "Treasure?" Ben asks out. "According to legend, Leviathan, that's our host, is the guardian of an ancient treasure of a lost civilization that disappeared thousands of years ago. Respect his quest and leave the treasure alone, and the Leviathan will never harm you. But disturb his quest and steal his treasure, and the monster will hunt you down to the edges of the world."
Ben ponders out at the info. "But why would the Leviathan attack us? We didn't take its treasure!" Maddie had a realization as she took out her coin. "Maybe we did! Check this coin out, that I found at the sunken ship!" She throws it in the air, just as Lance grabs it and inspects it. "Hey! We found a chest full of coins like this on our dive."
"Wait… Stephan never mentioned anything about the chest." Maddie spoke out as Ben frowns and snatches the coin back. "Clearly, he wants to keep the treasure to himself! Well, that treasure is going back to the Leviathan! We just need to figure out a way to get out." Just then, small pink jellyfish-like things were crawling towards them as the humans were surprised. "What are those!?" "Best guess: There the monster's immune system! And we're the viruses!" Ben frowns at Maddie's words as he clicks the watch. "Well then, maybe it's time to meet my big friend!" FLASH
Ben's skin grew brown as muscles piled onto themselves as he grew in height. A tail grows from his spine as black spikes appears on his back as he feet and legs became thick as tree trunks. His head lastly changes as his eyes flashed green.
"Take this!" Humungousaur cries out as he slams his tail on the ground, blasting out a shockwave that blew the Immune system back, but caused the Leviathan to groan out in pain as it shook, giving Normie an idea! "That's it! Ben! Keep slamming out shockwaves! We'll give the Leviathan an upset stomach!" "Oh, I get it! Let's give this fella a nasty cause of indigestion!" He grins as he slams his tail all over the place, with the sonic vibrations blasting all over and making the monster in intense pain!
After a bit, the monster burps them out, sending them flying high into the air and splashing down in the sea. They managed to surface and gasped in air as Humungousaur kept struggling to stay afloat. "What is with you?" Normie asked out. "I'm over 600 pounds of muscle! I need to flail to keep afloat!" He cries out, but luckily times out.
"Can't believe I'm saying this but thank goodness you timed out early!" They noticed the boat and swims towards as they saw Stephan checking on the chest. "I believe you have something that belongs to the Leviathan!" Maddie frowns at the man as he covers the chest and sits on it. "I don't think so. And nothing you kids can do can make me change my mind." Normie then notices the monster raising up from the sea as he points at it, making all eyes divert on the beast. "Uh… I think HE would like a few words!" The beast roars out as Stephan backs away in shock and fear, making Ben uncover the chest as he and his friends push the chest to the edge. "Hey, big guy! We have something that you want! Is this it?!" The beast widens it's eyes as it roars out in response, making the kids push the chest into the ocean as the monster dives after it, getting his treasure back at last.
The cloud over the town clears up as the team overlooks the sea from the docks as Normie kept his stun laser on the 2 treasure hunters, if they try something. "I don't get it. We never felt this bittersweet after a paranormal victory. So… why are we feeling it this time?" "Well… It's hard to give up a treasure like that. I should know, I once wanted a ultra-rare trading card, but I to give it up to save a life. But it's not a total loss! I managed to regain an old alien." Ben smirks as he twists the Omnitrix to Ripjaw's icon. Maddie smiles as she took out the golden coin. "Kept this! I'm sure the Leviathan won't mind if we keep this for a souvenir of our trip."
Just then, some water splashes on the girl as they glanced to see said monster raises only halfway, narrowing his eyes at Maddie as he gestures with his left front leg to give the coin back. "Okay… Here!" She chucks the coin in the paw as the monster smiles, diving down. "Huh… You know, for a monster that doesn't speak at all, he's surprisingly smart." Normie comments as Ben shrugs. "Who know?"
The kids were lounging around in swimwear and chairs as they relax in Monta Carlo for a while. Just then, some Knights came up to them. "Well done, Squire Tennyson and friends." They gesture to a large boat as it carries the Leviathan out of the water. "We're transporting the Leviathan to a hidden ocean lair, so it can guard the treasure in peace." The boat sails off as the knights left. "Well… guess we do nothing but kick it back here!" "Best weekend ever!" "Ditto!" The 3 kids clank their sodas as they chill for a relaxing weekend.
