Batman Superman Public Enemies Part 2 (Ben 10, Generator Rex, The Lego Movie, Brutal Legend, Danny Phantom, Max Steel, Static Shock & so much more)

After getting away from the misinformed heroes. XLR8 sped all the way to San Fransokyo, running up one of the city's many skyscrapers. Ben became human again setting Gwen down as Rex flew to join them.

"You okay?" Ben asked.

"You almost gave me whiplash." Gwen groaned.

"Sorry about that. But thanks for the help." Ben said. "But why help me if your just here to bring me in?"

"I joined them so we could bring you in peacefully." Gwen explained. "I wasn't gonna let him kill you."

Ben raised an eyebrow. "But you still think I killed grievous?" Gwen just looked away.

"As someone whose always had a problem with authority," Rex spoke up. "You really gonna take the word of a politician over your own family?"

Gwen didn't answer at first but then she sighed. "Business seemed like such a good guy."

Ben put a hand on her shoulder. "When it comes to judging character, your really hit and miss, you know that?" Gwen smiled at him.

"We got company." Rex got their attention and they looked to see Danny Phantom, Red Hulk, Static Shock and Gizmoduck appear across the roof.

"I knew it!" Red Hulk pointed at Gwen. "Shes a traitor. Must run in the family."

"Gwen?" Danny looked to her.

"Its complicated." Gwen said.

"No its not." Red Hulk stepped forward, "your either with us or against us!" With that he pulled his arms back and unleashed a thunderclap that destroyed the half of the roof that Ben, Rex and Gwen were on, knocking them off the building.

Ben quickly activated the omnitrix and transformed. "Astrodactyl!"

Rex activated his Boogie pack and caught Gwen. "And that's how you make a save. Your welcome."

Gwens eyes widened. "Look out!"

This time her warning didn't come in time as Rex turned just in time to see Gizmoduck tackling him, causing him to drop Gwen who managed to create a mana platform to lower herself to the next roof.

"Dead or Alive, your coming with me." Gizmoduck said in a robotic voice as he grappled with Rex. "Not really but I've always wanted to say that."

"Congrats. Rex said before smirking. "But looks like your forgetting who your up against." Placing his hand on Gizmoducks shoulder, Rex's nanites went to work taking over the suits systems.

"What?" The armored duck blinks as his display came on, "Weapons Systems Offline?" Suddenly his hands released Rex and he began flying back and forth in uncontrollable pattern. "AAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Danny fired ectobeams at Ben who flew around them. The halfa tried to get in closer but was blasted by an energy shockwave from Astrodactyls jetpack. "No one likes a tailgater, even in the sky." He squawked when suddenly he was grabbed out of the sky by Red Hulk.

"You like fighting dirty?" Red Hulk questioned while grabbing onto Astrodactyls wings. "Fine by me. Lets see how you fly without wings." Before he could rip his wings off, Astrodactyl blasted red Hulk in the face with an energy blast from his mouth. "AAHHH!" Red Hulk released Ben and covered his eyes. Ben used the opportunity to use two energy whips, wrapped them around Red Hulks legs and flew upwards, pulling the gamma giant off his feet before flinging him across the roof and into a water tower.

"Cool off big guy." Astrodactyl squawked.

Suddenly he was hit in the back by a blue beam that froze his jetpack causing him to fall. Danny flew in punched him down to the roof. Before he could attack again, Danny was struck by multiple mana discs forcing him to set up an force field. Gwen threw a few more discs before she had to jump to avoid an electrical blast from Static. Gwen was about to attack again when she heard a noise behind her, she spun around and created a mana shield to block an invisible strike. "I was wondering where you were hiding."

Delsin became visible wielding a blue pixelated sword that was still pressed against Gwens shield. "Hey, I can be subtle." He jumped back and used his Bloodthirsty Blades, sending several swords that exploded on contact, destroying Gwens shield. Gwen was just able to put up a mana dome around herself to block Delsins video torrent and Statics electrical blasts.

Ben had returned to human form, his landing had shattered the ice. "Brrr, I could really use some chilli fires right now." It was then Gizmoduck landed a few feet from him.

"Reboot complete. Finally." Gizmoduck stood up.

Danny flew down next to him. "Last chance to surrender Ben."

"Thanks, but I'd rather turn up the," Ben transformed, "Heatblast!" He blasted Danny with a powerful fireball. Gizmoduck fired several missiles, but Heatblast sent a wave of flames that caused them to explode.

Red Hulk rubbed his eyes, his vision returned to normal and was eager to rejoin the fight when he was hit in the back by a large block of concrete. He turned to see Rex with his slam cannon smirking before firing again. Red Hulk advanced, punching apart each shot. "Your outta your weight class punk."

"Then lets help you lose a few pounds." Rex switched to his BFS and swung at a Red Hulk who easily caught the blade. Rex's eyes widened as Red Hulk broke the blade in half. He barely managed to form his smack hands to block Red Hulks kick that sent him flying across the roof. Red Hulk threw the sword piece at Rex who ducked as the blade stuck in the wall above his head. "Okay," he activated his blast caster. "Lets try this again." He swung it the cable wrapping around Red Hulks arms.

Re Hulk smirked. "Was that supposed to hurt?"

"No," Rex smirked "But this will." An electrical current flowed through the cable and into Red hulk. Since he was still wet from hitting the water tower, the electrocution was amplified. Gritting his teeth, Red Hulk yanked the cable pulling Rex off his feet, forcing him to deactivate his blast caster for his punk busters to avoid falling off the roof. As he got up he saw the steam rising off of Red Hulk.

"Wait." Rex activated his goggles and detected the high levels of heat. "No way."

Read Hulk ripped a large corner off the roof and through it at rex who jumped and used his punk busters to shatter it. "I got a question for you."

"If your gonna ask for mercy, your barking up the wrong tree." Red Hulk said.

"Did Grievous say anything?" Rex asked, "or did you ambush him?"

"What are you talking about?" Red Hulk asked.

"What did Business promise you?" Rex pressed on. "Money? Invent a new rank for you? Your not seriously gonna tell me you killed him for your country are you?"

"Some of us still believe in putting our country first." Red Hulk shot back.

"Fancy words." Rex said. "But I don't see any soldiers here. All I see is a fanatic using duty as a excuse to kill, and whose such an idiot he actually became Business's puppet willingly!"

"SHUT UP!" Red Hulk roared as his body became a blaze with flames, charging at Rex and leaving burning footprints after him.

Gwen had heard the whole thing. "Enough!" She expanded her mana dome to knock back Delsin and Static before taking out her spell book. "Tempestus Imaetus!" Suddenly storm clouds formed in the sky and from the, a bolt of lightning shot down striking Red Hulk.

Heatblast and Danny were grappling with each other, their hands charged with fire and frost energy. Seeing the lightning bolt, Ben used the distraction to head butt Danny and knock him away

"RRRAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Red Hulk roared in rage as his entire body inited with flames.

"Whats wrong with him?" Delsin asked

"Hes lost control." Gizmoduck scanned Red Hulk. "If he blows hes gonna take several city blocks with him. Can anyone contain it?"

"I can try." Gwen stepped forward and looked to Static. "Gimme a hand."

"I got your back." Static nodded.

Gwen formed a sphere of mana around red Hulk and Static created one of electricity. But the gamma fuelled flames were already beginning to crack them.

Gwen started to sweat. "I don't know how long we can hold this."

"We need to cool him down or hes gonna take us and the neighbourhood out." Rex said.

"I'm on it." Ben reached for the omnitrix on his chest but felt a hand on his shoulder.

"No," Danny said. "I can cool him off and get him high enough into the air to avoid casualties."

"But-" Ben began but Danny cut him off.

"I heard everything. This is the least I can do." Ben and Danny shared a look and the former nodded. The halfa stood before the enraged hulk and his eyes and hands glowed blue. "Lets do this."

Gwen and Static stepped back as Danny created his own sphere of cryo energy around Red Hulk and lifted him off the ground into the air. Danny grit his teeth as he tired to make the bubble hold while Red Hulk continued to thrash inside. The fires raged even stronger and light shined brightly from inside the sphere. Suddenly it exploded in a massive fireball that caused everyone to cover themselves and look away from the explosion. They looked up and saw two figures fall out of the smoke cloud.

Gizmoduck and Static flew up and each caught one of the falling figures. They landed on the roof, Static was carrying Danny Fenton and gizmo duck was carrying General Thunderbolt Ross, both of had returned to their normal forms.

Delsin looked around, "now what?"

"You guys get them to a hospital." Ben said. "We got work to do."

Soon Ben, Rex and Gwen were in a canyon, spying on a secret military base. "You sure hes in there?" Ben asked.

"Trust me." Gwen said, her eyes glowing as a pen levitated in her hands. "Business is in there."

"Can I just say how impressed I am that you actually stole something from the Oval office." Rex smirked.

"You guys sure you don't want me to help?" Gwen asked.

"You've got your own job to pull off." Ben put a hand on her shoulder. "Go, we got this."

Gwen sighed but nodded. "Okay." With that she chanted a spell and teleported out of the cannon.

Rex raised an eyebrow. "She can teleport?"

"Sometimes." Ben shrugged. "But it makes her tired. Lets move." With that the two of them walked towards the base.

"So Ben," Rex began, "you looking forward to being the first superhero to ever whale on the president?"

"Well…" suddenly Ben was struck by an invisible force and knocked to the side causing him to roll across the ground.

"Ben!" Rex activated his boogie pack but just as his feet left the ground, a chain appeared around his legs attached to an anvil anchoring him to the ground. "What the?"

"The Anvil of Burden." Eddie Riggs called down from atop a large rock, his guitar in had. "Consider yourself grounded."

Rex just smirked as he deactivated his build. "People tried grounding me before. Didn't end well."

"Look man, I don't wanna hurt you." Eddie tried to reason with the EVO. "Lets just take a breath and talk this out before someone gets hurt."

"Oh we're long past that." Rex formed his BFS as the anvil disappeared.

"Okay then." Eddie drew his axe the Separator. "Lets see whose got tougher metal."

"Thrill me." Rex challenged.

Ben stopped rolling and sat up as Max Steel deactivated his Turbo Stealth modes invisibility before returning to his base mode. "End of the line Ben."

Steel separated from Max. "We gonna do this the easy way, or the hard way?"

"Does this answer your question?" Ben activated the Omnitrix creating a green light that forced Max and Steel to cover their eyes. When it passed Max looked in time to see Four Arms punch him and send him flying.

"MAX!" Steel called after him. His eye widened as a shadow loomed over him, he turned to see Four Arms flick him through the air. He landed next to Max who had just recovered.

"You okay Steel?" He asked.

"Hey… I asked for no mayo on my sandwich." Steel said in a dazed voice as he floated shakily. He shook his head clear. "Okay, go time!"

"Go Turbo!" Max said as Steel joined with him. "Strength!" The turbo power hero charged as did Four Arms. They pulled their fists back and threw punches, the collision creating a shockwave.

Four Arms punched Max in the face a couple of times before he blocked one and punched him. He raised his arms and tried to bring both his fists down on Bens head, but he grabbed his arms with his upper arms and proceeded to punch Max in the stomach with his lower arms. "Ow! Saw, this, going, better." Steel said between punches. Suddenly the lower arms grabbed Maxs torso and proceeded to lift him off the ground. "This can't be good." Four Arms then threw Max into several large boulders, shattering them on impact. Max quickly recovered and grabbed a large bolder and threw it. Four Arms punched the bolder with two fists and shattered it, only for Max punch him in the face and then punch him in the gut.

"Just for the record." Max channelled turbo energy into his fist and uppercut Four Arms into the air and crashed into the canyon wall. "I always knew I could take you." With that he ran at him and leapt into the air to deliver another turbofied punch. Four Arms pulled all his arms back and brought his hands together in a thunderclap that blasted Max backs through the air.

"Keep dreaming." Four Arms said.

Rex used his sword to block the swings of Eddies axe. The blade now had several cuts in the metal. "Nice axe." Rex said.

"Thanks." Eddie showed off its Razors Edge treatment. "It was my moms."

"Seriously?" Rex blinked, but decided to hold his questions for later. "My blades got tricks two." He pulled the handle and the top of the sword began spinning like a buzz saw. He swung it downward forcing Eddie to use his axe to block the attack, but sparks were flying from the clashing of metal. The were at a standstill until Eddie shoved Rex back, grabbed his guitar and struck the Fire Cord, causing a jet of fire to erupt beneath the evo launching him into the air. Before he landed Eddie delivered a powerful kick to Rex knocking him across the ground as she BFS retracted. Rex lifted his head and saw Eddie charging at him. He raised his fist, and activated his Smack Hand, the large metal fist stretched out punching Eddie away.

"Ow!" Eddie rubbed his head. "That's some strong metal." A noise got his attention and he looked to see the Rex Ride speeding at him. "Whoa!" He dived to the side and Rex sped past him.

"Nice move." Rex pulled to a stop. "Think you can do it again?"

Eddie smirked. "Oh this just got interesting." He played a solo and summoned the Druid Plow.

"Whoa, sweet ride." Rex admitted.

"Built her myself." Eddie revved the engine. "Now let me show you what it can do."

Two blurs speed through the canyon. XLR8 and Turbo Speed mode dashed past each other as the swung at each other with high speed strikes. The two of them ran along the canyon wall, "getting tired yet?" Max swung at him but Ben dodged and swung his tail, hitting Max in the face almost making him trip. Max sped off the wall, around a bolder and took a breath. "Okay, we need a plan."

"Way ahead of you." Steel said before filling him in on the plan.

"I like it." Max said.

XLR8 came to a stop and looked around. "Where'd you go Max? Did you run home?"

"You wish." XLR8 turned to see Max standing there. "Catch me if you can." He sped off and Ben followed.

The two of them were side by side, throwing and blocking punches. As they were rounding the corner, Steel suddenly appeared. "Surprise!" He opened fire with his energy blasts.

XLR8 was taken by surprise and raised his arms to shied himself. This gave Max the opportunity to trip him causing him to bounce along the ground. Before he came to a stop, Max sped over, grabbed him and ran him into the canyon wall. Then proceeded to run while dragging XLR8 against the wall.

"ARRRGGGHHH!" XLR8 screamed in pain before wrapping his tail around Maxs neck, this around him to break free of his grip causing both of them to tumble along the ground.

"Max!" Steel flew over to the him. "You okay?"

"Yeah." Max rubbed his neck. He saw XLR8 getting up and he was making a hissing noise. "I think we made him mad." Max got to his feet. "Go Turbo, Spike!" Steel joined with him and with their new mode, he swung a spike whip at XLR8 who tapped the Omnitrix. The whip was caught by Frankinstrike who sent a current of electricity through it and shock Max and Steel. He then pulled the whip, lifting max off his feet and swung into the canyon wall.

Rex loaded his Slam Cannon and fired at the Druid Plow as he sped by. Rex tried to ram into him but Eddie used the nitro to speed ahead. Once it passed, Eddie hitting the brakes and opened fire with his rides rocket launchers. Rex was forced to retract his slam cannon and speed ahead to avoid the missiles. He spun around and drove towards Eddie who drove ahead but Rex was catching up and formed his BFS. But before he could attack, Eddie activated the Druid Plows Side Burners which spewed flames from its sides, forcing Rex to pull away.

The two of them pulled to a stop at opposite sides of canyon. They narrowed their eyes at each other like they were in a western standoff. Suddenly they rocketed towards each other. Eddie activated his machine guns and opened fire. Rex activated his block party to shield himself. Once they were close enough, Rex retracted his rex ride and rolled to the side, forming one of his bad axes and sliced through the Druid Plow as it passed by. Eddie was forced to abandon his ride before it exploded.

Rex spoke into his com, "Hey Ben, hows it going on your end?"

"No problem." Frankinstrike pulled the whip and punched Max. "But we don't have time for this."

"Then lets switch things up and end this." Rex said.

"Lets do it." Frankenstrike swung Max around in a circle several times before hammer tossing him threw the air.

Rex activated his Boogie Pack and took to the air towards Max. Once he was close enough he fired the twin turbines and the struck Max sending him flying.

Eddie saw Rex attack Max but was forced spread his wings and take to the air to avoid Frankenstrikes fist as it smashed into the ground. "Whoa, that is one metal alien." He strummed his guitar brining down lightning bolts, but Frankenstrike raised his hand and activated the coils on his back. The lightning struck his hand and was absorbed.

"Thanks." Ben said before blasting Eddie with green lightning and forcing him up against the canyon wall.

"Go Turbo, Flight!" Maxs new mode shot forwards towards Rex who flew ahead but the turbofied hero was catching up "Can't beat be in the sky Rex," he increased his speed. "I'm way faster!"

Rex just smirked. "Just what I was counting on." Suddenly Rex retracted his build and came to a stop in the air. Max was moving to fast to stop allowing Rex to grab onto him.

"Hey no hitch hikers!" Steel said.

"This might sting a bit." Rex placed his hand onto Maxs chest, more specifically onto Steel.

"Hey hey! Hands off the-" Steel was cut off as Rexs nanites began messing with the Utralinks systems. "Error. Nanite infection." His voice was glitching as they began switching turbo modes. Turbo Strength, turbo stealth, then turbo scuba.

"That's not good." Max said as they began falling.

"And its bout to get worse." Rex before jumping off Max and forming his Sky Slider said before forming his Smack Hands. His fist began spinning rapidly and he flew towards the falling Max

"Ah Steel?" Max tried to reach the ultra link. "Could use Turbo Rocket right about now."

"Save 10% on your car insurance." The scrambled link said.

"This is gonna hurt." He said before Rex punched him so hard he crashed into the ground like a meteor.

Frankenstrike kept up the lightning blast. "Sorry Eddie. I like heavy metal two, but I got a world to save."

"Shows, not over, yet!" With great difficulty Eddie grabbed his guitar and played the solo "Bring it on Home."

"Was something supposed to happen?" Ben asked when he heard a noise, he looked up and his eyes widened. "You gotta be kidding me!" A huge flaming zeppelin had appeared and crashed on top of Frankenstrike, the explosion blasted him away while freeing Eddie.

Rex flew down to the crater and retracted his build. He spotted Max laying in the centre of the crater with his hand on his chest. "Dude," Rex stepped closer, "you okay?"

Suddenly Maxs hand surged with turbo energy, then an burst of energy pulsed from his body, knocking Rex back and creating a dust cloud. Rex coughed a few times when he noticed Max step out of the dust cloud. "Reboot complete." Steel said.

"You can take a hit. Okay." Rex got to his feet. "Ready for round two?"

"Oh yeah." Max said as the dust cleared and there were now over a dozen Max Steels surrounding Rex. "Turbo clones." Max punched his palm.

"This is gonna hurt." Steel said.

President Business whistled as walked down the hallway, which was luckily big enough for him to use his mechanical stilts and the rest of his Lord Business costume. "Ah, its good day to boss people around." He took a bite of his taco when he spotted two figures at the end of the hallway. "Ah! Eddie Riggs! Max Steel!" He walked up to the them. "Welcome back. Can I offer you a taco? We have spicy jalapenos. I actually have a make your own taco stand set up in my office. But then I realised making it myself defeated the point of being President and being able to order people to do things for me." He rubbed his chin. "So I just ordered one of the generals to do. Have ever seen the look on a five star generals face when you order him to make you a taco? Boy they do not like it," he laughed. "Oh its good to be in charge." He wiped away a tear. "Now where was I? Oh yes! Your mission to capture Tennyson and his little EVO friend. Did you capture them?"

"Depends who you ask." Max said, but his voice was different.

Suddenly Eddie swung his axe, cutting through Business's mechanical stilts.

"AAHHHHHH!" Business screamed as he fell to the floor. "Argh! What are you-" he was cut off when Max grabbed him and held him up against the wall. "Let me go!"

"Got some Business to deal with first." He said.

"Wait," Business's eyes widened "That pun. Your-"

It was then the ID Masks were deactivated and there stood Ben and Rex. The former holding Business and the latter holding the Serparator.

Ben looked to Rex. "You know your gonna have to give that back to Eddie when he wakes up right?"

"I know," the EVO smiled, "but I couldn't resist trying this out."

"Wheres the data on the Fulmini!" Ben demanded.

"Alright! Alright!" Business held up his hands in defeat. "Pet me down and I'll access the data."

Ben released Business who straightened his tie before walking over to a large consol. "Just need to put in my password." He typed it in but it didn't accept it. "What the? Oh wait, caps lock is still on. One second." He tried again and this time it worked. "Computers am I right? You gotta be careful with em?" He selected a folder labelled 'Villainous Plans'. "Especially careful you don't press…. DELETE!" He hit the button. "HAHAHA! Sorry boys but no world saving data for you. No one outsmarts Lord Busin-" he paused as he saw he computer halt the deletion and the file was unaffected, "ness?"

"Yeah." Business looked to see Rex with his hand on he console, his nanites taking control and protecting the data. "Did you forget what I can do to machines." Rex asked as he plugged a flash drive into the console and began downloading the data.

"Why would you try and delete the data?" Ben asked. "We're trying to save the world."

"Oh please." Business rolled his eyes. "Mr Hero, here to save the day. Grow up kid. When the country was in the crashing, who was the one who fixed everything? This guy!" He pointed to himself. "And I didn't have fancy superpowers. I did it with my brains, my money, many bribes and backroom deals. The people cheered for me then and they'll cheer for me when I stop the Fulmini and supply them with power at high prices."

Ben just stared at him. "How did it take this long to figure out you were a villain?" There was a green flash and Business was grabbed by a clawed hand. "We're done here." Kickin Hawk lifted him off the ground. "Sorry, but looks like your-"

"NO!" Business snaps. "I can take losing and I can take getting beaten up. But do not make that terrible pun."

Ben looked at him. "Your-"

"Don't! " Business cut him off again. "As the President I order you not to."

Kickin Hawk was silent for a moment before his beak shifted into a grin. "Your out of Business!" With that delivered a roundhouse kick so strong it sent Business flying all the way down the hallway.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THIS HURTS ALMOST AS MUCH AS THAT PUN!" He screamed as he flew out of sight. Ben listened until he heard a loud. "THUD!"

"That felt good." Ben became human again and looked to Rex. "You got the data?"

"Right here." Rex held up the flash drive. "Think we can swing by that make your own taco stand business mentioned?"

"Maybe after we save the world." Ben said before becoming Jetray. "Lets go." He blasted into the air followed by Rex on his Sky slider.

And finished. Never would have imagined this would take so long, but its finally done. Stuff is finally improving and hopefully it will stay that way. Hope to post more this year and I hope this part 2 was worth the wait.
