A/N: God I hope what I said before pulled out well; fight wise and stuff.
I own NADA, just my OC, but I hope you enjoy anyways.
Just like what happened with Six, everything moved in slow motion.
Rex witnessed such bright lights overtaking his vision, along with the pod's self destruction. Ethereal light outlined G's form. For a moment, her eyes were fully glowing. The next, they were ink black with sapphire irises. She practically vanishes in one blink before literally popping up right in front of him, wrapping her self around him, planning to shield him from the blast like with Six. He was squeezed tight in her steel hug; her freezing touch seeped through his clothes, giving him chills.
At the same time, the green light of the Ultimatrix flashed above him, revealing Cannonbolt, only for him to slam the dial again, this time to turn into a more metallic version; Ultimate Cannonbolt. He curled his form over them both; his protective steel shelled ball form keeping them safe.
Then everything went by in a blur.
As Ultimate Cannonbolt soared through the sky from blazing speeds; the fiery clouds overtaking the background, the moment they were getting close to the ground, he transformed back to regular old Cannonbolt before hitting the surface; denting a path of dug up rock and dirt into the ground, slowing down to a stop atop a cliff edge.
As if sensing the danger had passed, G's glowing faded away as did her temperature touch; so cold that it burns, though his arms stayed wrapped around her waist as hers were around his shoulders, keeping them pressed against each other. His eyes warily staring into hers; back to normal, both flushed in the cheeks as their lips were parted and very near –
"Eeeewwww!" Rex's face scrunched up in disgust as he pulled away and out of Cannonbolt's grasp, his back landing on solid ground, pulling G with him.
"Hey!" She looked crossed and kinda hurt at his reaction.
"Not you." He assured her when he realized she was right on top of him. And her face was close to his. His tanned face broke out in a red flush, beading sweat bullets. "Uh …"
Her brown pupils shrunk as she felt something hard rub up against her thigh; her own face blushing red as a result. "Oh! S – Sorry!" She pushed herself off him, giving them some space as they both sat up on their bums.
"Do you have any idea what it smells like in there, dude!?" He looked over her at Cannonbolt as he pushed himself to stand up, dusting himself off, complaining what was really bugging him earlier; partially the reason for his complaint came from his stiffness and he tried his best to ignore it.
The watch was beeping as he transformed back; green light wafting over G, before the feeling of strong human arms wrapped in leather slipped around her waist, flushing her right up against her beloved's lean front, his chin nestled on her shoulder as he glomped her from behind; his arm resting right beneath her perked tits. "I'm sure you can handle a little Arburian musk to save your nuts and bolts … dude." Ben lightly jested, silently reminding Rex not to get too close to his girl; who sighed heavenly in his secure warm embrace.
"I try my best not to breathe it in. At all." G murmured out, still a bit peeved.
"Rude." Ben glared a bit.
Rex gave a look of guilt. "Sorry. Thanks. I'm just –!" He grunts aggravatingly. "This day started off perfectly. Now there's aliens –!"
"Ehem." G roughly coughs in her fist quite loudly several times.
Rex rolled his eyes before adding, " Nephilims – my partner's in a coma and my brother's trying to kill me!"
"Maybe he was trying to protect us. Alpha was right there and now it's not." Ben reminded him.
"You're one of those glass half full guys, aren't you?" Rex grinned.
"I literally had to look up what that means cause of this …" G muttered to herself.
"Here on crazy Earth?" Ben made the loony motion with his finger. "Why not?"
Rex pressed on his ear piece communicator. "Holiday? Is Six – ?"
"He's the same. But the Knights have figured out how to close the rift. You need to get Mr Ten and his lady friend back to New York if they ever want to see their home again." Doc explained.
"Figures. Just when I almost considered liking you." Rex eyed Ben as he said it.
"I personally feel wounded. I mean, we bonded and stuff!" G called out.
"Hold on a second! You think we're leaving you like this? This might not be my Earth – " Ben looked offended.
"Or my Earth." G shyly added.
"But it's still Earth … sorta." Ben shrugged.
"Aw, you do care." G grinned, giddy.
"Hush, you." Ben squeezed her sides, making him grin from her squirming yelping self.
Part of Rex was envious of the easygoing, cute interactions of the pair, his thoughts drifting to Circe for a moment, before focusing on the current matter at hand. "Thanks, but this is my problem, not yours."
Holiday's worries made his blood run cold with fear. "Rex, we need you back at base … it's here."

Witnessing Rex ride's battering ram slam into Alpha; knocking him into a structure, in order to free Holiday was more satisfying in the flesh than on her laptop screen. And XLR8 zipped up to catch Doc with ease, helping her down as took a knee to get her bearings in check.
"G, watch Doc." Rex ordered you as he looked to XLR8. "Feel like giving me a hand?"
"I can lend a hand too, ya know." G reminded them sternly as her legs became a leaning support to Doc as she helped her up.
Ben transformed back to human for a moment to remind her, "Your stunt back at the ship added strain to your body. It's give or take with your powers, remember?" He kissed her cheek, grinning confidently, "We'll handle this." He then turned to Rex, giving him four fingers. "How about four?" Sliding his jacket sleeve downwards, revealing the watch, he slams the dial, transforming into Four Arms.
"I'm starting to like the way you think, Ben 10." His honesty was showing quite clear.
"At least they're bonding now." G sighed, feeling irked off for being left out, understanding why but not really liking it. She pulled Doc by the arm out of the way as the guys went in for the kill – well Alpha was, waving off the flames from the fiery wreckage he made, charging back in.
Four Arms threw Rex who formed his Smack Hands to have his gauntlet fist meet Alpha's expanding fist, reaching a stalemate, knocking Alpha back on his skidding heels and Rex into Four Arms who caught him.
"You cannot keep me from what I seek."
"My brother? Look around! He's not here!"
"The father is redundant … now that I've found you." Alpha's hand grew to giant sized as it struck, forcing Rex to reform a Smack Hand, keeping him held back. It didn't help that Alpha's hand grew out another big hand, forcing Rex to form his other Smack Hand. Now Rex's hands were full. And this all came out of one of Alpha's arm!
Four Arms charged in, having Alpha's free arm expand and strike, but Four Arms jumped high over it, ready to give Alpha a shiner – only for Alpha's whole arm to defy bending physics and grabbed G's man, slamming him hard to the ground.
Doc heard her to her low growling as she spotted G's eyes fully glowing neon blue like before … only for them to change in an instant – darkened sapphire irises with the sclera going inky black. "What the – ?"
Alpha's hands locked with the Smack Hands merged them together, trapping Rex in his sticky grasp, shocking him with red energy, trying to possess him. "I cannot merge! What makes you so special, human?" But then Alpha sensed it deep inside Rex, the jackpot. "Yes … you shelter … an Omega."
Rex's cries, Four Arms being squeezed to the point where he struggled to breathe, it all made something in G crack enough to let her other self out; the part she's surprised she had been able to suppress for this long. It was a new record. Still, she hadn't wanted it to go down this way. Going off script by intervening so much could result in tears to the fabric of balance. It wasn't time travel though so …
"Screw following scripts." G's tone grew low as she stalked off to them as Alpha drew Rex closer.
"To hell with holding back." Holiday's eyes widened in horror as red liquid appeared, cascading down G's entire body, encasing her in a sort of armored body suit; decals of faded skinny light blue hearts on the chest plate and shoulder pads shown, as Alpha's mouth opened to release red tentacle like limbs to swallow Rex whole who tried forming a Punk Buster to keep that mouth at bay.
"I'm bored and pissed off cause of you." Inky veins encased her left arm as inhumanly long claws grew out; those black veins growing to her entire left half including her face,
"So… FUCK YOU!" A guttural, snarling howl came out of her mouth, the heroes wincing at the sharp ear pain as it resonated out in shock waves that aimed at Alpha.
"Rex!" A laser beam shot out to sever Rex's robot leg and Alpha's arms, freeing him and out of the way as the wail blast hit Alpha right into the wall.
"That was my leg!" Rex shouted, though his leg reverted back to its human self, alright. Though he eyed the floating girl with the straight flowing hair with half her face deformed and sunken "G? You don't look so good."
"She's not home right now. You can call me …" She disappeared one moment then reappeared floating right above Alpha, her long clawed hand stabbing the side of his throat; her neck made cracking sounds as the deformed side of her face tilted giving Rex a sharped teeth smile, "COSMIC."
"Uh Ben, your girlfriend's kinda lost it now." Rex's panicked.
It prompted Four Arms to break free from Alpha's severed arm. "Babe!"
"I'm in control now, Tennyson~ Now, LET'S PLAY!" She pulled out of her back a literal energy sword; glowing ethereal blue but tainted with inky veins before stabbing it right in Alpha's chest. Energy beams of light poked out all over Alpha's form, lighting him up, before he blew up.
"What the SHIT!?" Rex was gobsmacked as he coughed from the smoke clouds made.
G – scratch that – Cosmic's chilling cackling echoed as out of the clouds from the explosion came her floating self with one angel wing doted in blue flames and burnt feathers that still retained its shape. "Energy creation is MY thing, you RIP OFF – !" Alpha's giant hand popped out of the clouds, grabbing Cosmic's leg, swinging her fast and with enough gathered force to slam her hard enough to leave a body indent in the ceiling.
"Anomaly." Alpha hissed as his orb floated up, forming his humanoid one, drawing another big fist.
Cosmic laughed wickedly before pushing off the ceiling, flipping backwards in the air as she rocketed down to meet him head on, causing a bright energy wave to knock the others back to the other side of the small petting zoo. It ended with her landing on her feet, leaving a big cracked indention in the ground, her flowing hair covering the right side of her vessels' human face; her left side showing her inhuman self taking charge. "Vermin wretch." She growled out, like a predator would. "Cosmic! Release G at once!" Her one showing eye encased with madness as it locked on Four Arms approaching her carefully, shielding Rex and Holiday. In that one moment, Cosmic felt G start to awaken as her right side – G's side – arm rose, reaching out for him –
"Sorry Benji …" The beastly clawed hand held the gloved human hand back, keeping restraint on her human half, "She's mine right now." She giggled madly.
Scorching heat suddenly encased her while under Alpha's grasp as he drained her of her unstable nanite energy had her wailing like a banshee; shattering the windows, shaking wildly whilst trying to force her way out with brute strength. But the more energy she released, the more Alpha drained. And the more her human vessel would wither away.
"The nanites within you are different. Powerful. But unstable … like you, parasite. Your sacrifice will not be a waste." Alpha decreed.
"You absorb energy … SO CAN I!" Her stretching canine smile was the last he saw before she turned to slippery snake, melding with her shadow that literally ripped off the ground; her sapphire eyes flashing, as it wrapped around Alpha, blue and red energies clashing for control.
"She ain't your typical angel, huh?" Rex shakily asked.
"I guess not." Holiday put it.
Their struggle pulsated with enough force that it had them crashing into the same structure Alpha crashed in earlier; both caught in the fiery explosion. From the warm colored flames out came Cosmic; suit tinted in ash spots and cracks across the heart decals, hair moving on its own like slithering eels as trails of wispy energy from Alpha pooled straight into her, dark satisfaction radiated off her. "All too easy – !" Cosmic was cut off as she choked from the sharp stab in her chest, clutching it with her claws, feeling herself lose control of the stirring wheel. The human couldn't handle all that power absorbed at once; suffocating internally from all the heat gained, forcing herself back up to the surface. "No … NO NOT NOW!"
Cosmic's pained screech shattered the windows whilst clutching her head splitting apart, as her suit and wing dissipated into smoldering blue embers; coming apart at the seams, signaling G's return. But collapsed on her stomach, her limbs swollen red and short of breath from strenuous heat exhaustion. Even her foot apparel were burnt to dust in the process. Fanning the flames away, came Alpha, reaching his hand out to her –
"NO!" Four Arms gave a big slam clap, the strong force of it pushed Alpha to crash against the wall yet again.
This time, Holiday had her laser gun aimed right at him. "Your move."
Alpha knew he had to retreat and build up his lost strength once more, turning to wispy smoke as he fled through the man made hole of his to the outside.
Green light flashing above her stirred G barely awake, weakly moaning as the cautious gentle hands and arms of her beloved took her in their embrace, helping to rest her head against his chest, since her limbs were sore and limp.
"Your brother wants to blow you up and – SHE'S your friend!? You might be safer on my Earth." Ben exclaimed at Rex, wanting to make small talk to distract them from what they all just witnessed.
"Rex can lose his builds relatively pain free." Doc assured.
"Forget that – Tennyson, your girlfriend is INSANE! You've been hiding that this whole time – just when you were whining about us being friends and all." Rex was amazed and terrified all at once. But then he saw her heaving chest as she panted; face winced in discomfort.
Ben noticed too, grimacing. "She pushed herself too far."
"She can be cooled off in the cradle. Follow me." Holiday gently ordered as she led the way. Straight to the small empty medic room opposite Six's. "It's okay, sweetie. You're gonna be okay. You'll just be taking a rest for now." Doc did her best to assure the suffering girl as the cradle slid open, allowing Ben to carefully lay G down.
"I'm here, angel." Ben cooed her as he rubbed circles on her hand with his thumb while his other hand brushed through her hair, all efforts made in an attempt to calm her down her stressed nerves. And lucky for her, Ben's presence in general guaranteed success.
Holiday's needle injected into G's arm the moment Ben captured her lips to mask her painful whimper. Her shocked eyes were as wide as saucers at the sly move they both pulled on her but her eyelids slowly but surely drooped shut. Her stiffened form became looser; her arms and head became slack as the cool ventilation worked full swing. Ben reluctantly pulled away as the lid sealed back on, knowing his angel needed to rest and recharge as much as possible before Alpha strikes again.
"That should help her sleep for a while. It's not much though since we're running off of stolen Providence supplies and all." Doc spoke.
"Thank you." Ben was grateful to Holiday.
Doc nodded at him in regard before leaving the room, going back to check on Six for the umpteenth time in the past hour.
Ben heaved a tired sigh, leaning against Rex who wrapped a supportive arm around his shoulders. "Both of you."
000
"We seriously gonna just wait around?" In order to pass the time, shooting hoops was not what Ben expected.
"It wants nanites. MY nanites. Holiday thinks it'll come back for me but yeah, I'd rather go after the thing, knock it into another dimension!" Rex joked.
"But your bio whatevers need a break, I get it." Ben knew they all needed a breather.
Rex's basketball bounced off the hoop rim and soared straight through a window.
"Ya missed!" Bobo shouted.
"Least you hit the rim that time." Ben tried being supportive.
"Yeah, thanks." Rex took Ben's ball, not having it.
"So what happened to you, anyways?" Ben asked.
"I was gonna ask you the same thing." Rex asked back.
"It started when the Omnitrix fell out of the sky. I was ten years old."
"Six years ago, the Nanite Event changed everything!"
"And there's alien DNA in the Omnitrix!"
"And that's how I can build stuff, with the micro machines in my body!"
"Now, Kevin, Gwen and I are the Plumbers."
"Plumbers? And I thought Providence was a dumb name." Cue the boisterous care-free laughter. Rex tries again to make a shoot. It bounces off the rim again, but Ben runs up to catch the ball and shoots it back, making a basket. "Nice assist."
"That's how we get it done." Ben grins, giving him a thumbs up.
The moment was calm, sparking alive with fun, just two guy friends hanging out.
"Sure wish G was here to shoot hoops with us."
"Sports were never her thing. She's more of an artsy kind of gal." His far off gaze and wistful smile were evidence of him thinking back on a much simpler time.
"So … that was something else, what she pulled off back there." Ben's tense expression made Rex want to kick himself for ruining the lighthearted mood. "S – Sorry for probing, man. I just … did not see that coming. A sweet gal like that turning into … well … that! And here I thought Alpha was all we were gonna face."
"She was fully human … once."
Rex's heart stopped as he watched Ben claw his fingers into the ball, squeezing it from anger, scorn, and guilt.
"Until she made a deal …"
Blaming himself for letting her go that day.
"With that twisted spirit …"
Blaming that cursed entity for ending G's life that night.
"A demon."
