Omni-Magic Summer EP 2: Canterlot B.C.
I don't own anything except my OCs.
The crowd looks up in fear and worry at the sight of the burning apartment building as the firefighters race to the rescue. The fire provides some illumination in the night skies of Canterlot City.
A mother and her son tried to escape from the burning structure, only to get cut off by falling debris. They both look around, only to notice the ceiling falling on them. The mother and son held each other, bracing for the crushing, burning pain. But the boy hears something and opens his eyes, only to widen in shock at the being in front of him. "Who are you?" "I'm here to help." Shock Rock replies as he tosses the debris somewhere else.
He then made a battering ram and charged, smashing through the blocked doorway and beckoning the people to follow him. The 2 follow the alien as they go into the hallway. "This way!" Some debris smashed the stairway. "Never mind, new route!" Shock Rock beckons them to grab onto his back and run towards a window as he made an energy ball between his hands and thrust it forward.
The energy alien blasts through the window as the two humans hang on. He quickly made a plasma ramp and slid down it to the ground as a crowd gathered around. The family drops off the alien as they all cheer at him. "Naw, no. Please. It was all just me doing a job! I couldn't accept it…. Okay, maybe just a bit! You got me!" As Shock Rock tries to accept the crowd's applause humbly, he notices that the boy he rescued was looking at three cards, not just any cards… "No way! Sumo Slammer Gold cards!? I have been looking for those for my collection for a while! Hey, kid!"
He went up to the boy and asked out. "Where did you get that Sumo Slammer Gold card?! I've been looking everywhere for it!" "It was a prize in a Sumo Slammer Crunch cereal box?" The kid answers as he is confused as to why an alien would be interested in a trading card game from Earth.
BEEP BEEP Shock Rock turns to see Sunset sitting in a sporty convertible with a sun mark on the hood and a moon mark on the sides. "Hey, Shock Rock! The fire was a diversion for a robbery at a local jewel store. The jewel robbers are getting away!" She calls out as Celestia looks from the driver's seat. The alien briefly looks at the cards and then back at the 2. "Uhh… I knew that!" He then made his way to the car.
Intro:
A Galaxy is shown with some planets as outer space music is heard.
Just for a flash of green light to occur, and shows the Omnitrix symbol with Ben's silhouette in the middle as the song picks up.
"It started when an alien device did what it did."
The 1st clip is Ben discovering the Omnitrix as it latches onto his arm as he panics.
He then presses down on the dial, transforming him into Heatblast as he cries out.
"And stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid."
"Now he's got superpowers; he's no ordinary kid. He's Ben 10! (Ben 10!)"
The logo flashes a bit before showing off aliens:
Grey Matter, Overflow, Shock Rock, Heatblast, Tear-Wolf, Lodestar and Astrodactyl.
"So if you see him, you might be in for a big surprise."
"He'll turn into an alien before your very eyes!"
The boy is then shown transforming into Tear-Wolf as six more aliens appear and zoom in:
Upgrade, Shock Rock, XLR8, Four Arms, Heatblast and Tear-Wolf.
" He's slimy, freaky, fast, and strong; he's every shape and size."
"He's Ben 10! (Ben 10!)"
Just then, a flash-animated Ben runs towards the screen, flips, and morphs into Tear-Wolf.
He bites at the screen as a black and green '1'. Appear next to him.
2: Four Arms is next as he grins, raises his arms, and flexes.
3: Grey Matter leaps at the screen, only to splat comically.
4: XLR8 appears and zooms away.
"Armed with powers, he's on the case!"
"Fighting off evil from Earth or space!"
5: Upgrade wiggles his legs around as he raises his arms.
6: Shock Rock generates lots of power and blasts a large beam of blue energy across the screen.
7: Overflow flies upward on his water blasts.
8: Astrodactyl displays his whips and then rockets away on his jetpack.
"He'll never stop 'till he makes them pay!"
"Cause he's the baddest kid ever to save the day!"
9: Lodestar raises his claws as they generate a green aura as several pieces of metal float around him.
10: Heatblast chucks a fireball at the screen as Ben lands on the ground with his fist, cracking it as he grins.
"Ben 10! (Ben 10! B-B-B-Ben! Ben 10! B-B-B-Ben!)"
Tear-Wolf is then shown leaping from some trees as he looks fierce.
Shock Rock poses as he finishes transforming.
Sunset and the Rainbooms are shown powering up into their magic forms.
Heatblast chucks a fireball.
Ben is then shown slapping down on the Omnitrix.
The Mane 6, Spike, the royal sisters, the royal crystal family, Discord, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie and reformed Changelings, and Ben in griffon form stood together as they glared at someone as the Omnitrix boy smirked with crossed arms.
Twilight is shown fighting a giant bird monster as she uses her magic to slam it down on the ground.
Four Arms cries out as he finishes transforming.
XLR8 is shown running on top of the water.
The opening finishes up as the aliens all get sucked into the Omnitrix. Ben shows it while green rays come from it as the title appears next to him.
Ben 10: Magical Alien Summer.
Celestia was speeding after the bad guys in their getaway van as they zoomed through Canterlot. It has been a week since the Camp Everfree incident. Ben has been getting training to figure out all his aliens and control them better. During that time, he made friends with the rest of The Rainbooms.
He thought that they were weird and freaky, especially when they had magic powers. But after hanging out and getting to know them, he realized they were pretty cool. Sunset also explains Equestria Magic and where it came from. She also described the mirror portal and how it is linked to another dimension. Ben thought it was girly and lame that it was linked to a realm of magical ponies. But then realized that he could explore another dimension anytime he wanted. But his aunts said he wasn't ready for it and would allow him when the time was right.
Twilight was also cool to hang out with, including Spike, who can talk, which is fantastic in Ben's book. But he is annoyed that Twilight would bother him about his aliens and tries to drag him to her lab and research on the watch. But Sunset and Celestia put their feet down and scolded her. After a talk, she apologizes and promises not to do anything to make Ben uncomfortable. Ben likes hanging around Sunset; she is a better version of his sister, Kate.
Back to the present, as the adult stays on the escape car's trail, she feels a jolt in her seat, making her yep for a second. "I knew I should have got those rubber seat covers when I had the chance." She mumbles as she looks at the energy alien in the back seat. "I can't help it, Aunt Celestia! I'm made of electricity." "Why did you pick Shock Rock, then?" "Don't look at me! I wanted Overflow, but the watch had other plans." He answers Sunset's question, annoyed by the watch's habit of sometimes not giving him the alien he wants.
The van turns a corner with the sports car following after it. Shock Rock stood up and made an energy ball, throwing it at the back of the van and exploding the back door and the bottom tires. "Bullseye!" The van swerves as it goes out of control, stopping when it hits a wall. The ski-masked thieves were moaning as they rubbed their heads when a blue energy hand rips the driver's door off as Shock Rock glares at them. "Unless you 2 want a REAL shock to the system…" The alien crunches the door to prove his point. "Hands against the wall and on your knees, NOW!"
The bandits got out and did what the alien said, unaware of a beeping sound coming from the symbol on his chest. "Boy, you 2 picked a lousy day to be bad guys!" FLASH Ben was about to taunt the robbers when he noticed he was shorter. Looking down, he sees that he timed out and looks at the red glowing watch as it gives a dying beep. "You stay there until the cops come!" Ben disguises his voice as he backs up. He then turns and runs as the robbers notice the different voices. Just as they turned… "FREEZE!" The cops showed up and pointed weapons at the bandits, making Ben smirk. "They're all yours, officers! Now I know that you—"
"Beat it, kid! This isn't a playground!" A cop ordered as he cuffed and escorted one of the bandits. "But… I was the one who caught him! I'm the Hero!" Ben moans at the lack of respect, wondering what is the point of being a hero if you don't get appreciated.
The next day, at an apartment building on the other side of the city, a man in a business suit was pounding on the door. "ANIMO! I know you're in! Open up!" Getting no answer, the man took out a key and used it to open the door. When he walked inside, he was surprised to see animals in tanks, cages, and habitats. "Whew… Smells like a zoo in here.' The man looked closer at one of the tanks, unaware of a shadowy person behind him.
As the man was observing, a frog hopping out of a log… "How did you get in here?!" The man jumps and turns around to see a man with pale green skin, looking like it hasn't seen any sun in years. He also has brown eyes with shoulder-length white hair. He is wearing a sleeveless grey shirt with brown pants tucked into black boots. Lastly, he has long, black fingerless rubber gloves and long, claw-like fingernails.
"Ahem… Passkey. I'm your landlord! Your rent is six months past due." "All of my funds go into my research. Now get out! You're disturbing me!" Dr. Animo snaps as he works on something at a table. "Look, doc! Unless you can pay some green, you and your furry friends are on the streets!
The doctor merely smirks as he chuckles at the threat. "'Pony up', interesting choice of words." He then got out the frog and placed it on the floor. "I'm guessing you're an animal lover. Then you are going to love this!" Animo then puts on a helmet made out of a kitchen appliance that has 2 red antennae on top of it. Connected to it is a red dial on his chest.
The man laughs at the device. "What's that?! You're a member of the moose lounge or something?" Animo merely rolls his eyes and points at his gizmo. "This is my Trans-modulator! Phase 1: It creates genetic mutations at an accelerated level. Observe." Animo twists the dial, making the antenna light up with energy, to which he zaps the frog, making it grow until it's bigger than both humans. It now has 4 red eyes and 2 horns growing out of its head. The landlord screams as the frog eats him. The man struggles as the mutant keeps him in its mouth. Animo watches with sick amusement.
"I'm sorry, it sounds like you have a frog in your throat. Hahaha… Or is that the other way around?! HAHAHA!" The frog spat the man out, covering him in green slime as he was knocked out. Animo stares at a piece of paper with silent rage. "So close to getting what is mine! All I need is a few lousy components!" "So, remember to come on down to Canterlot City's mall: The shopping center that always has what you need, whenever you want!" Animo turns towards a running T.V. to see an ad for the local mall. The madman grins with maliciousness, satisfied that he found the perfect place to get the parts. "Ahhh… just what the good doctor ordered."
At the massive mall of the city, Celestia and Ben were doing some shopping as the boy hero was slumping. Ben was bored out of his mind as he and his aunt went shopping for some groceries, not even getting to go to the arcade or candy store. Ben was back to his normal clothes while Celestia was wearing her normal outfit of a yellow jacket with a sun-shaped pin over a purple sleeveless jumpsuit and gold heels. She has a purple bracelet on her left wrist and a watch on her right.
Just as they entered the grocery store, he saw something that caught his eye. Running towards it in the cereal aisle, he picks up a box of 'Sumo Slammer Crunch'. "Whoa! Sumo Slammer cards!" Ben then gained a smirk, dialing the watch as his aunt remained unaware.
Celestia was looking at her list while holding a basket. Unbeknownst to her, Twilight and Spike were in the same store, picking up some things for her family at her house and planning to get some tech parts at the local electronic store. Twilight has her glasses and ponytail. She is wearing a blue button shirt with puffy sleeves under a pink vest with a pink bow. She has a purple skirt with a pink star on it. She lastly has blue socks over slip-on shoes. FLASH "Uhh… Twilight? Did that flash of green light look familiar?" "It did, Spike."
As the 2 rounded the corner, they were surprised to see cereal aisle looked like a tornado had gone through it. Spike then smells something, growling at a shaking box. The teen genius narrows her eyes as she grabs the box. "Darn it! Another red card!" A small voice is heard as Twilight reaches in and pulls out a small alien.
The alien is a grey-skinned small alien that looks like a frog with large green eyes that have horizontal pupils and gills on his cheeks and a black strip on his forehead. He has 4 sticky fingers and 3 toes. He is wearing a white jumpsuit with a black stripe going down the middle of the chest, which connects to black rings around his neck and waist. He has black fingerless gloves and toeless leggings. He also has green bands on his wrists and ankles and the back of his gloves as square patches. He lastly has the watch symbol on his back.
"What are you doing?!" "Uhh… Looking for the gold Sumo Slammer card!" Grey Matter responds to the dog's question. Twilight scolds him as Grey Matter gets a bored look. "You're supposed to use your alien powers to help others! Not to find some dumb trading card!" "AHEM!" The teen turns around and hides the alien and dog behind her as the manager frowns with crossed arms. "What happened here, young lady?" "It wasn't me, sir! It was a friend of mine who did this!" "Well, someone is going to pay for all this." The store employee responds, making Twilight growl in annoyance.
Later, Celestia was pushing a cart full of Sumo Slammer Crunch cereal as she struggled to keep her temper in check. "And remind me why did I buy all this cereal, again?" "We would have bought only the one that has the gold card in it! If a certain, brainiac, egghead didn't butt in!" Ben responds as Twilight, holding Spike, glares at the boy.
"Hello! You were the one who was trashing the entire aisle just to look for a piece of cardboard that's not even real gold!" "Now, Ben! I know how much you love Sumo Slammers, but you are getting a bit obsessive about the card." Celestia adds to Twilight's response. "Yeah, you're right, Aunt Celestia. Maybe I don't need a gold Sumo Slammer card. It's not like I rescued a bunch of people from a BURNING BUILDING OR SOMETHING!" Ben sarcastically yells out, getting more ticked off at his aunt and friends not knowing how important the card is to him. "Wow, superhero guilt? Really?" Spike comments with a raised brow.
As they walk off, Ben notices a Sumo Slammer card display case by a set of TVs. "WHOA! Sumo Slammer cards! A complete set." As he ran over to gaze at the set, the older girls and dog all looked at him. "When is that boy ever going to get it?" "Twilight, my nephew needs to learn that true heroes don't expect a reward, every time they do something good. They do it because the deed is the reward. And that is something he needs to learn himself." Celestia wisely said as they went to another part of the mall.
Ben drools over the gold card in the case as it shines. "Someday, you'll complete my collection." He noticed a slight rumble sound as the TVs went static. One of them fell off and smashed into the window. He noticed that the rumbling was getting louder, making him leap behind a potted plant when…. CRASH
Ben peeks out as the dust from the explosion clears off. "Whoa…" He said in wide-eyed awe. Animo was sitting on his giant frog as it stumbled through the hole. The mad scientist hops off and goes inside a nearby electronic store, swapping a few things from it, putting it in a sack, and exiting it. "HEY!" The man turns to see Ben standing near a pile of stacked boxes and a sunglasses booth as the guy from it runs for his life. "You can't take those!" The frog shoots his tongue out, hitting the boxes as the kid looks up in shock. He quickly leaps out of the way.
"Don't be a hero, kid! Run along and play!" Animo warns as he mounts his frog. Ben looks at the watch and grits his teeth as it gives a dying beep while glowing red. "You're lucky I can't go hero." "FREEZE!" Ben turns to see 2 security guards running over, only to stop in shock at the mutant animal. "Get down from the… the… frog and put your hands up!" Animo merely smirked and made his minion hop away as the 3 looked in shock. "Uhh… We got a grab-and-dash from the computer store! Male, 5ft, 6. Riding a giant frog… or toad! Trust me, you can't miss him!" A guard yells in his walkie-talkie as Ben merely glances.
At the pet store, Twilight and Spike were visiting Fluttershy, who is working there part-time, as she attends to the animals. The shy girl was humming with a smile, petting one of the gerbils. CRASH Both girls turn and gasp at seeing the giant frog before them, smashing the front of the shelter. Animo twists the dial, making an energy ray fire at Spike. "SPIKE!"
Spike grew until he was almost as big as the frog. He grew a set of green spines down his back that stops at his tail base, which is longer and bushier. He grew sharp claws on the paws as his front ones became hand-like. His collar snapped off as his teeth became razor-sharp with an extended muzzle. His eyes became red with silted black pupils. Both girls gasp in shock as the once-puppy growls at them as he glares at the teens. Animo zaps a parakeet, making it big with red eyes as well. "Arise to your full potential, my pets!" The madman cries out.
Ben was running after Animo as Celestia joined him. They both screeched to a stop as the teens ran out of the store and joined up with the 2 as Spike pounces out, roaring and growling. "Oh, man! What did Twilight feed to Spike!?" "I know you don't want to hurt us, Spike!" Celestia pleads as the mutated were-dog prowls closer with dripping fangs. The group back slowly in shock as Animo and his mutants gathered. "Behold the genius of Dr. Animo! Nothing can stop me from getting what I deserve! Mark my words! Today I make history, or should I say, PRE-history!"
"What did that person do to sweet little Spike?!" Fluttershy exclaims as Twilight whispers at Ben. "If you didn't go cereal diving, Spike wouldn't be a mutant and be looking at us like chew toys with one of your aliens!" Ben looks at the still-charging watch, groaning at Twilight being right. Spike then roars, making the group run as he chases after them. They all screamed as they ran through the mall and civilians all ran and hid as well. Ben quickly ducks and rolls as the mutant dog leaps over him, corning the girls as they all back up against a movie theater.
The boy looks down at the still-charging watch and then notices a motor scooter in a toy store. "I don't need an alien to tame this dog!" He ran to the outlet as Twilight pleas. "Spike, please! Try and remember who you are! Who we are!" "Please, Spike! Come back to us!" "Spike, you need to remember who you are!" Spike merely roars at the girls, not even trying to hear them. He was going to pouch on them, tearing them to shreds when… BONK A football hits him, making him turn to see Ben on the scooter with a helmet on. "Hey, Spike! Want to play fetch? Follow me!"
He zooms off, making the mad dog chase after him. Ben keeps ridding through the mall, sliding on turns as the were-dog chases after him. He kept zooming, entering the grocery store while looking to his side to see Spike running next to him. He leaped at him, but the boy ducked, making Spike tackle a shelf and make it lean.
Ben quickly used it as a ramp, leaping over the snapping dog as he landed on another shelf, pushing it towards the dog and trapping him. Spike tries to escape but can't cause of the weight. "BEN!" Celestia cried out as she and the others ran up to the smirking boy. "Uhh-huu. That's right! Not even a mutant wolf is a match for Ben Tennyson!" Ben dismounts his vehicle as he walks up to the struggling dog. "Sorry, Spike! It's for your good." Just then, a rumbling sound got the group's attention, making them turn to see Animo's frog landing near them. "Young fool! You can't stop me! I will turn Canterlot City into Canterlot B.C.!"
The bird then swoops near, making Animo hop onto it as it bursts through the skylight as it flew away, with the frog following it. "You!" The kid turns to see the employee from before. "You just saved my store! And the mall! If there's anything I could do to repay you, name it!" Ben grins, looking at the gold Sumo Slammer card as it shines. "Well, now that you mention it..." Celestia grabs him and drags him off. "Fluttershy! Can you please watch over Spike for me?" "Oh, yes, Twilight! I won't leave his side! And I'll get the others." The teen nods as she catches up with them.
"But Aunt Celestia! I was about to score the Gold Sumo Slammer card! It will just be a quick second!" "Sorry, Ben! We need to follow that mutant bird before it gets away!" The woman ran towards the exit while Twilight shrugs before following her. Ben groans as he begrudgingly follows. But, unbeknownst to him, Fluttershy overheard him and looked at the card. Smiling, she calls out to the man. "Umm... excuse me, sir? I happen to be friends with that boy, and he does want something from you." "What is it?" Fluttershy looks at the display case, making the man glance as well.
At night, the giant bird screeched as it carried its master to his next location through the city. But Celestia's car was not far behind it, keeping pace as the woman kept a sharp eye on it. Twilight was in the back, looking up something on her phone while Ben was slumping in the passenger seat. "Aaaahhh… This reminds me of the old days with my sister! Before I went to teaching and being a principal." "Wait… what kind of job involves chasing down giant birds or madmen?" Twilight questions as Celestia gets a nervous look. "Well. It wasn't chasing down something, per said. Let's just say that it involves a lot of travel and… Hey, Ben! What's the matter?"
"I saved an entire mall from becoming a mutant dog's chew toy, without my aliens! But what did I get? NOTHING!" Ben frowns as he keeps pouting. "Ben, being a hero isn't about getting something in return and knowing others you did something good. It's about saving lives, and knowing you did something good. Being a hero is its reward. You need to learn that if you want to be known as a true hero." The woman wisely spoke out as the boy was wondering if Celestia was at the greeting card kiosk.
"GOT IT!" Ben looks back as Celestia listens while driving, as Twilight reads from her phone. "5 years ago: Dr. Animo was a promising Veterinary scientist, who had a shot at a big prize called the 'Verity Award'! But it was later discovered that he was performing genetic experiments on animals! And when he lost his chance at the award, he flipped out! Going off the map and hasn't been heard from since. Does any of this stuff sound familiar?" Ben just slumps again, ignoring Twilight's smart remark. Celestia notices that the bird disappeared behind some large buildings. Lost them! They could be anywhere in the city!" "Which is going to be soon 'Canterlot B.C.'!" Ben widens his eyes in realization on the key words: B.C. "Wait… I know where he is heading!"
"The Canterlot Museum!" Ben exclaims as they stand out of the Museum. Notching a giant feather near a large hole in the entrance, Ben picks it up as Celestia comments "Look like we're on the right track. Great job, Ben!" "You know, for a C- student, you can pull a surprise every once in a while." "It's one of my many talents!" Ben responds to Twilight as they all head in.
The team kept walking, moving past exhibits and artifacts as they kept their eyes peeled. Ben then notices some discarded boxes. Picking it up, he saw that they were from the computer store in the mall. Just then, they hear something being tinkered with. The team saw that Animo was in front of them and had his back to them as he worked on his device. "…. You are persistent. I hate persistence!" The madman spoke from over his shoulder. "We all know about your freak experiments, Animo! It's over!" Ben points at the villain as the 3 of them glare at him.
"Oh… but it's only begun! See, I only need a few components to push my work into phase 2: The reanimation of dormant cells!" "Uhh… does this guy come with a translator or subtitles?" Twilight gasps in shock as she realizes Animo's plan. "He's going to revive extinct animals by using the exhibits, that contain a bit of their DNA!" "Precisely, my dear! Observe!" Animo then zaps a mammoth exhibit, making it glow red as the 3 gasp in shock. The mammoth moved and bellowed as it glared its red glowing eyes at them. "Behold! The genus of Dr. Animo!" The former scientist then ran to another room. "Now would be a good time to go hero?" "No, duh! You 2 take Animo! I'll deal with Jumbo!" Ben then slams down on the watch. FLASH
Muscles and veins bulge out of the watch as it sinks into Ben's skin, they crawl up his arm to his eye, just as it flashes open all green. He then grew big as 2 extra arms busted out from below his main pair, still fresh muscle as his skin grew tougher as he spun around and faced the fourth wall, crying out as he pumped all his arms, and he gave a battle cry as he posed.
Twilight and Celestia gasped in shock as the green flash died down. Ben is now an 11-ft tall humanoid alien who is muscular. He has a black stripe that goes down his chin and the top of his head and forehead. He has four green eyes as well as multiple thorny spikes on his forearms, bright red skin, and 2 toed feet. But the biggest feature is that he has 4 arms with 4 fingers on each hand.
He is wearing a skintight sleeveless white shirt with a black stripe down the middle and a black collar and black skintight shorts that stop at his knees with green toeless socks that cover his knees and green stripes on the waist of his black pants like a belt with the watch symbol on the waist, much like a belt clasp. He also wears black shoulder pads, covering only the top of his shoulders, and square plates. He is wearing green fingerless gloves and black armbands on his 4 biceps. He also has 2 white with black rings wristbands that are part of his gloves.
"Let's wrestle!" Four Arms then charges at the undead animal, grabbing it and slamming it sideways. Twilight and Celestia want after Animo as the alien warrior tussles with the mammoth. They both kept running down the hall, only to stop to see that the giant bird was blocking their way, screeching at them.
But Twilight frowns and grabs ahold of her geode while holding her other hand out. The bird was then lifted in a pink, sparkling aura and then slammed onto the ground. Twilight kept using her magic to slam the bird on the walls, ceiling, and floor, letting go of it as it ran away. "Who needs aliens when you have magic power?" Twilight comments as both girls continue. They both find Dr. Animo as he activates his modulator, smirking at them as he fires at a T-Rex skeleton. The skin starts to regrow as its eyes glow red while the girls are shocked and awed. The reanimated dinosaur steps off and roars, although part of its skin is missing, giving it a zombie look that makes it more terrifying.
Back with the alien hero, Four Arms slides on his back as he stops. He looks up at the charging mammoth and glares. He then charges at it, giving a double right hook and a left double uppercut. The beast was knocked back, before getting up and bellowing. "You are going down, peanuts!" The mammoth charges at the alien as he cracks his knuckles. He then charged and grabbed its trunk, spinning around fast for a while before Four Arms tossed it into a wall, making it collapse and bury it. The alien, on the other hand, was holding his stomach as he wobbled. "Oh... I don't… feel so-" His cheeks puffed up as he slouches and hurls out his stomach contents.
Twilight and Celestia quickly dodge as the zombie T-Rex slams its tail on the doorway. "I love to stay! But I need to calm the award, I so richly deserve!' Animo calls from his massive mount, as it roars and smashes through the exit, making its way into the city. As Twilight and Celestia watch, the parakeet screeches as it snatches Twilight in its claws, making the teen scream, flying out into the sky as Celestia calls out. "BEN!" "I'M ON IT!" He rushes past Celestia and jumps up high with strong leg muscles, giving chase. Celestia notices a piece of paper in the rubble, picking it up as she looks at it.
Four Arms is up high as he spots the bird and falls onto it, grabbing the bird as it screeches. It started to descend from the extra weight as the alien glared at it. "No bye-bye for you!" BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP The alien's eyes widened as his symbol started to beep while flashing red. "OH NO!" The bird shook him off as Twilight watched in horror, held captive as the bird's talons pinned her arms. "BEN!" The alien crashes in the middle of the street, making a huge crater as he changes back.
The boy pulls himself out as he watches the bird fly away in fear. "TWILIGHT!" BEEP Ben saw Celestia pull up in her car. "Someone called a taxi?" Ben hops in as she speeds after them.
"You know the magic thing, I can understand. But alien watches, madmen, and mutant animals? That is where I draw the line!" Twilight shouts out with annoyance as the bird takes her up to the top of one of the skyscrapers.
Animo, on the other hand, was riding on his rampaging T-Rex through town as the people screamed and ran in fear. The beast smashes down on an empty bus as the crazy doctor smirks. "Ahh… I do love my work!"
Twilight was being held above a large drop as the mutant bird was perched on the roof balcony. Twilight was terrified as she looked down while being held by her shirt in the mutant's beak. She then remembers something as she pulls out her phone. "I hope Sunset and others can get me, because the more rescue teams I have, the better!"
"No sign of beak breath!" Ben calls out as the 2 races through the town. "There can't be too many places a bird the size of an elephant would roost. Here, Animo dropped this." Celestia said as she passed the paper. Ben reads it, noticing a young Animo glaring at another man with clenched fists. "'Dr. Kelly accepts the Verity Award.' He's going to pick up his award! We got to stop him!"
"First thing first, we got to find Twilight!" Just then, Ben saw the skyscraper with the bird. "UP THERE!" "Good eye!" Celestia zooms toward the building as the giant mutant takes off. "Hurry, girls! I don't know how long I have!" Twilight cries as she hugs the pole top while trying not to slide off the glass surface. Just then, her phone falls off, sending it down as it crashes in front of Ben and Celestia, breaking into many pieces. "Twilight is next!" The principal calls out. Ben looks at a green glowing watch and smirks. "Not if I have anything to say about it! IT'S HERO TIME!" FLASH
The watch sinks into his arm as Ben clutches his fist, thrusting it open as it turns into a 3-clawed hand covered by a white fingerless glove. His skin turned red, and a bit of muscle with gauntlets on his forearms. His mouth and nose turned into a large beak with a black and green strip on it. His head and hat shred as a small crest that is pointed forms at the back of his skull. His back forms a jetpack-like structure as his clothes change into a green and black bodysuit with a white belt. The watch symbol flashes from his left shoulder as the alien poses while Celestia is shocked.
Ben is now an alien that looks like a cross between a Pterodactyl and a glider. He has a large yellow beak-like mouth, green eyes, red skin, black and green clothing on his shoulders and waist, white fingerless gloves, and green clothing on his feet that leaves his claws exposed. He has a jetpack-like structure on his back as 2 small, yellow, retractable wings that resemble a glider in appearance, slide out from it.
Ben then ignites his jetpack as green energy propels from it, zooming up into the air as Twilight falls and screams. "GOTCHA!" Ben cried as he grabbed Twilight around the waist, carrying her to safety as the teen opened her eyes. "Pterodactyl!" "ASTRO-dactyl! 'SQUAWK'!" "Right, thanks for the save!"
Just then, the bird screeches as it appears from behind. "Incoming!" Astrodactyl looks back at his tail-gainer. "Hang on!" The flying alien then turns, zooming through the air as the bird of prey gives chase. Celestia already went inside and rode the elevator to the top, just as Sunset and the Rainbooms, except for Fluttershy, arrived in Applejack's truck. They all got out as they looked up. "WHOA! When Fluttershy said a big mutant bird, she wasn't kidding!" "To think that a devious, and unfashionable, madman would turn our sweet little Spikey-Wikey and a majestic Parakeet into such monstrosities!" Rainbow cries in shock as Rarity comments in disgust.
"Hey, look! It's one of them 'Alien Heroes'! Like that Overflow and Shock Rock fellas from camp!" Applejack points out as Pinkie Pie comments "WOW He's a really fast flyer! Maybe faster than you, Dash!" "Don't even go there, Pinkie…" Rainbow Dash warns the party girl. "Well, it looks like he's having a hard time fighting back while carrying Twilight! Let's head to the roof!" "Top floor: Friendship rescue!" Pinkie cries out as they all head into the building.
"Okay, Polly! Let's see you take this! 'SQUAWK'" Astrodactyl cries back as a ring of energy expands from his jet pack, hitting the bird as it explodes and sends it crashing down. Astrodactyl then saw Celestia on the balcony, waving her arms. "Hang on, Twi! I'm dropping you off!" "You better not drop me, Tennyson!" Astrodactyl flew near his aunt and handed Twilight over to her, making her pull the teen to safety. "Okay! I'll go take care of Animo now!" The adult nods her head, making the hero fly off after the madman.
The 2 made it to the bottom floor as they stepped off the elevator, only for Twilight to be ambushed by a surprise group hug. "TWILIGHT!" Sunset and the others cry out as they smile and laugh. "Are you hurt, Twi?!" "You okay, Egghead?" "Darling! Tell us you are all right!" "Are any of your bones broken?!" "GUYS!" Sunset calls out, making everyone stop as she hugs Twilight. "Are you fine?" "Yes! Thanks to Principal Celestia, who was in the area at the time, and that nice alien who saved me!" Twilight assures everyone, making them smile.
They left the building ready to head out after Ben when… BOOM SCREEECCCHEEEE The bird roars out as the group gets scared and surprised looks with wide eyes. Twilight squeaks out. "I think that energy ring wasn't enough to knock it down and out." "Oh, Candy Corn..." Pinkie mumbles out.
At a science lab in another part of the city, Dr. Kelly is visiting another group of scientists as he shows his work and achievements. "And lastly, my Verity Award! Of course, it was an honor to be nominated along with a small group of other, great scientists." He said as he placed a golden trophy shaped like a beaker on a shelf.
RUMBLE Just then, the ground starts rumbling, making the people concerned and confused. SMASH ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRR The zombie T-Rex smashed through the wall, rising and scaring most of the people except Kelly, who is petrified with fear. "Kelly! You have something that belongs to me!" Animo snarls out and hops off. He grabs the award as he has a deranged smile. "I like to thank the community for this honor!" He hops back on his minion as it stomps toward the scared man.
Just then, Astrodactyl came out of nowhere and tackled the head, knocking it confused. The alien turns around, only to get knocked away by the giant's tail, sending him flying into a wall. He got up and rubbed his head, only to notice Kelly being held by his shirt as the zombie Dino was about to eat him. "SOMEONE HELP!" "Oh, man! This hero stuff is not easy!" He then zooms off, making a small rockslide behind him.
Astrodactyl grabs the man as he is tossed up and gets him to safety as Animo calls out. "What are you?! You little pest!" "The name is Astrodactyl! 'SQUAWK' And I am here to kick tail!" He flies next to the dinosaur, making green energy comes out from his gauntlets, and swings at it. His whips hit the beast, hurting it and making Animo try to keep his balance. He then whips the trophy, knocking it out of the madman's hands and sending it crashing down on the floor and breaking into pieces. "NO!" He calls out in shock, only to have his helmet taken off by the alien, who then tosses it onto the floor.
"MY TRANS-MODULATOR!" The impact sends out a red energy wave, turning the zombie T-Rex into a fossil, which then collapses under Animo. "No! No! NO!" The energy wave travels over the city. It reaches the Parakeet as it corners the girls, turning it back as it flies onto Twilight's arm. "AAWWW… I think it likes you, Twilight!" The teen ignores Pinkie's comment and glares at the bird. "Don't even try to kiss up to me now, beak breath!"
The wave hits Spike, who is still under the shelf, and shrinks him back to normal. He then stumbles out, all dazed. "Whoa… what happened? I blacked out there." "SPIKE!" He was caught in a surprise hug from Fluttershy as she cuddled him. "Oh, you're back! Thank goodness!" "Uhh… did I go somewhere?"
Later, the police arrived to take Animo away. Ben stands near his aunt as he watches with a smirk. "Let me go! I deserve that award! I had it coming to me! I want it!" The man cries out as he is shoved into the back of a car. "All of this… just for some trophy? That is so lame." Sunset commits as the Rainbooms nod their heads in agreement. "Sheesh, talk about a sore loser..." Pinkie adds in.
Ben walks up to the car in realization as he stares at the mad scientist. "You know, that sounds familiar." Ben realizes that he was acting like Animo before. He then vows to never let the same thing happen to Animo happen to him too.
Later, Celestia was driving his nephew home at the sister's house. "You know, I didn't get the gold card! But I did snag my very own trophy from Animo!" Ben said as he placed the dial from his Modulator in a box on his lap. "And I guess saving the city from that nutso is its reward." "Well, I'm glad you learned your lesson! And you also saved Twilight's life as well! I'm proud of you, Ben." Celestia phrases with a smile as they pulled up to the driveway. They both got out and headed towards the door when Luna opened it.
"Hey, you 2! You won't believe what has happened on the news! It was crazy!" "Tell us more after dinner, Luna. Right now, we're hungry." Luna nods her head in response and then digs for something in her pocket. "Fair enough. Oh, Ben. I almost forgot! Fluttershy stopped by early to give you this! She said she wants you to have for helping Spike and the Mall, whatever that means."
To Ben's surprise, it was a gold Sumo Slammer card she pulled out. "No way! A gold Sumo Slammer card! But where did she get it?!" "She said she got it from the display case at the mall. She also said a little kindness can go a long way." She then enters, leaving Ben to gawk at his card as Celestia smirks. "You know, after all, I have been through today, I am just glad I got the card in the end. I learned that rewards like these aren't important. There are just bonuses compared to the real reward." "Now that is hero talk. Come on, Luna has ordered pizza for us. Let's eat!" Celestia and Ben walk in, shuttling the door.
