We're back with another chapter.
Chapter 12: The Beginning
Earth 5: Paris, France
A bright blue flash ignited after a blue beam that landed in the middle of the city, stopping many people who were driving in the streets and forcing many to flee in or out of buildings. The beautiful city of Paris was quiet and peaceful with the citizens enjoying a nice dinner in the middle of the night, freshly made food was presented to the patrons who were eating at tables placed outside. The residents were horrified to see a massive edifice that resembled a citadel towering over them, nearly as tall as the Eiffel Tower. Next, Novatron robots and soldiers were on guard and started to create havoc so that the neighboring humans wouldn't become involved.
Unit E-8 is arriving as instructed. The location is secured. A soldier used the intercom to communicate.
Affirmative. Keep an eye out for more instructions.
The Novatrons would eventually claim the following Earth location as their own.
And very soon, they will possess this earth.
Earth 5: Egypt
Before the same beam from Paris struck and another citadel appeared with Novatron forces starting to hold the people captive so that any potential retaliation wouldn't dare interfere, unless they want civilian casualties and signaling their success, a few tourists were nearby, happily taking pictures and selfies, and the tour guide was providing educational facts about the history.
until reporting E-4. The location is secured as well.
The people were kept hostage by armored robots who shot at them, making them tremble in terror.
Earth 5: Amazon Jungle
The Novatron citadel that destroyed much of the vegetation and a few animals that were in the way was revealed as the lion was carrying its child away for what began as a straightforward hunting lesson for his cub. Many other animals also attempted to flee from the expanding orb.
reporting up till E-2. The area is secured here too.
Earth 5: Washington D.C.
When word of the alien attack in Sherman reached the nation's capital, the military was dispatched to guard the building in case things got out of hand. The identical citadel then materialized in the center of the city square as a second beam struck, and ships were hovering above the capitol building, causing a severe panic and signaling their arrival to central command. In accordance with the directives of his superior and master, General Lanius personally led this assault since he enjoyed torturing people.
He made contact with the realm where he was from.
E-7 unit reporting. The area is secure sir.
"Excellent, now it's time we took back what is ours" Said Lanius.
When they all saw tanks and a human infantry moving forward to defend the city, they all opened fire on the Novatrons, who cheerfully returned fire. Their superior technology was no match for them, as explosions sent the tanks flying and the humans were mercilessly shot to death because they were unable to defend themselves.
"Get every citizen to safety?" The human leader yelled orders to his troops. "Make a call for more help and warn anyone else who may be under these creatures' attack!
When they all saw tanks and a human infantry moving forward to defend the city, they all opened fire on the Novatrans, who cheerfully returned fire. Their superior technology was no match for them, as explosions sent the tanks flying and the humans were mercilessly shot to death because they were unable to defend themselves.
Get under cover, everyone! Someone yelled as the soldiers watched the spaceships drop round objects; they knew enough to know that those were bomber ships and fled as the items dropped on the ground, causing explosions that killed many U.S. military personnel and incited additional fright in the streets of the U.S. capital.
Novatron homeworld
reporting from unit E-6. The location is secure.
reporting from unit E-10. The area is secure.
Several technicians in the Novatron's main citadel on their homeworld were monitoring the takeover of Earth 5, which was going extremely well. Zone grinned evilly as he beheld a holographic image of the Earth in front of him, with portions of it glowing red, indicating that a city on that fragment was under the control of his people. Of course, the humans' attempt to resist was fruitless; the might of the Novatrons was too great for them.
After the Colossals were confirmed to be destroyed, he gave the portal machine instructions to transport his forces to other settlements on the planet. "You have done well, General," he said to the subordinate who bowed in response. "I admit these humans have proven that the more they resist, the more it fuels us to crush them beneath our heels."
One of the techs informed him, "Master, all units have confirmed their deployment, the settlements are now under Novatron control. Once they receive your order to assault, they will let the humans know that we are not to be trifled with.
He delightedly tapped his fingers, signaling that there could still be a chance for his grand plan to succeed. "Excellent, now I have one more message to give to the humans including Ben Tennyson."
And those people will be forced to give up because the stakes are so great.
"General Steel" He was ordered to communicate crucial information regarding the situation in the rest of the world as a scared young army guy shouted and sprinted past everyone who was on foot through the halls of a military headquarters. He was looking for a tall, intimidating man. Julius Steel, a senior Earth military general in charge of several U.S. military operations, was wearing an army uniform and sporting a number of decorations. Armed Forces, he had a riddle to solve regarding the numerous Mutraddi attacks in Sherman. He had heard reports that the city was being assaulted by a brand-new type of extraterrestrial, but the forces vanished suddenly before he could act. Before the young man yelled his name, he was about to look into it. Common Steel! I must talk to you right away!
The stern general looked over at him. This better matter, son, Private Stevens. His eyes were narrowed, indicating that he was not in the mood to be sidetracked, as he indicated.
Due to his juvenile appearance, Private Steve "Babyface" Stevens acknowledged the crowd. We just received a communication from Washington, and we double-checked to make sure it wasn't a scam, just in case.
Private, get to the point! Metal snarled.
The private hesitated before deciding to rapidly convey the emergency. We received a distress call from a Washington, D.C., station. Similar calls have been made by individuals who were stationed in numerous outposts around the world, and they all recounted the same thing, about an alien attack caused by the same kind that were supposed to previously be in the city of Sherman! We've passed Defcon Red and are prepared to immediately counter this invasion and get you as soon as we can! Over providing such an explanation, the private panted with fatigue.
General Steel gave him a stern look before saluting. "I appreciate you informing me privately. like you were." The general wasted no time in getting to the war room, where multiple military personnel were rushing to determine what they should do in this crisis, and he walked over to the next man in authority, saying as he passed the young man who was on the verge of passing out. "What is the situation, Commander? He queried.
The commander saluted him while facing him. In general, it is shown on every station's news channel. Similar to that episode in Sherman, this global onslaught utterly took us all off guard; none of us saw it coming. Although we are sending as many troops as we are able to, we are not really sure how to manage the issue.
"How quickly can we arrive in Washington?" enquired General Steel.
We'll get to work on it immediately. The president has asked us to make a particular call.
General Steel could face a firing squad rather than ask those G3 punks for assistance because he knew exactly what the commander was talking about. However, he had to concede that they were more armed and prepared for this kind of situation. He knew they needed every able-bodied man they could muster, despite the fact that he was still somewhat irate over their recent brief altercation.
Still, that didn't mean he had to agree with it.
Earth 5: Sherman
"Why do you say it's still going on? Lance asked Solomon a question. The head of G3 briefed the team on recent events shortly after the team's epic victory over the robotic Colossals, warning them that the threat posed by the Novatrons was still present. A clean-up crew had been dispatched to deal with the devastation left over from the four-way conflict. It appears like something new has happened that requires their immediate attention, and when someone like him says something is vital, people should pay heed.
He responded, inviting everyone to go inside the G3 carrier ship, saying that if they wanted answers, they should all follow him." If you wish, I'll take you to the headquarters of my organization." Solomon understood that even if he had good intentions, they shouldn't blindly put their faith in him.
Danny spoke inaudibly to the others. He wanted their opinions, so he said, "What do you guys think?"
Randy was the initial respondent. We don't even know this guy, I don't know man.
Kim remarked, "Yeah, but we're lost in another dimension with no way back home." Additionally, he appears like a knowledgeable local, so perhaps he can be of use.
Ilana chose to make a statement. She turned to them and said, "You can trust him." She turned to Lance and Octus, who nodded in agreement, and said, "Solomon may be secretive, but he is a man who cares about safeguarding his home planet; he's helped the three of us before, so take our word for it." "I swear, he'll help you if you need it," I said.
The Galalunian princess's tone appeared earnest, and Kim made a valid point that they could all use some assistance given their current predicament. Ben said, "Okay Solomon, we'll go with you." Solomon nodded in agreement and motioned for everyone to follow him inside the carrier ship as it ascended into the sky. They had to stand because they were in the cargo area of the ship for the duration of the journey, and there was a tense silence among them. Earlier, when the alien invasion was still taking place, they didn't really have time for small talk, but now they were relatively free to converse like normal people.
Ben murmured, "So..." He remarked, referring to their cooperative battle against the Novatrons, "Nice teamwork back there."
Ladybug nodded, "Yeah." While Cat and I typically work alone, working together with you and them was quite amazing.
Rex adopts a laid-back posture as he puts his arms behind his back. "Although I like to work alone, you guys did an excellent job."
Lance warned them, "Don't get too comfortable." He was delighted with how things were going with Ilana and Octus and said simply, "At the very least, it was a necessary arrangement." He wasn't particularly interested in the idea of a team like this.
Star remarked with a beaming smile, "Oh come on Lance. Admit it, we were like the perfect team ever."
Marco rubbed his forehead. One of the few times, Star, that something you say truly makes sense.
The corporal turned his back and folded his arms. "Solomon, when will we get here?"
Solomon responded, "Not long. We stationed the HQ nearby.
Rex glared angrily at Lance. What, you don't like being in our company?
The pilot delivered his announcement before Lance had a chance to respond. G3 headquarters is just ahead and prepared for the landing procedure, sir.
Solomon said, "Acknowledged. Take us to the headquarters, pilot."
Jack made the decision to pose the query that was on everybody's lips. "Solomon, where exactly is this headquarters of yours?"
Rex commented that this group kind of reminded him of Providence, especially the part where the leader is a quiet person with shades, and asked, "Yeah, is it like located in a hidden mountain range or something?"
Solomon grinned slightly. He pushed a button, and windows appeared, proclaiming, "See for yourselves."
Curious, Aang turned to the others after gasping when he saw what was outside and peered out the window. He exclaimed, "Guys, you've got to see this!" to them.
Everyone performed as instructed and then gaped in a mixture of astonishment, awe, and surprise when they saw the Galactic Guardian Group's hovering headquarters. They could see several ships leaving as if they were being scrambled; the carrier ship moved to the landing deck where most of G3's jets were stationed to land; the doors opened up once the pilot punched in his identification. It was a sleekly designed fortress that was kept afloat by cutting-edge technology unknown to Earth. When the ship landed on the platform, the pilot opened the back doors to let his superior and the team out. They were able to see the main docking bay, where many G3 pilots were rushing to board a jet and depart for battle. They then stood in anticipation of their captain's arrival.
"Okay, this location is really fantastic," said Ron.
Max agreed by nodding. "Yeah, if only the N-Tek men could visit this location."
Star exclaimed in awe at a button, "Ooooh." She attempted to press it while asking "What does this do?" but June grabbed her wrist.
She informed her, "I don't think you should do that."
However, his best friend said, "But I want to."
Jack said, "Please young princess, we are guests here." The heir of Mewni sighed in disgust and reluctantly conceded, "It would be rude of us to do whatever we pleased."
Jenny studied the layout of the area as well as the jet and blaster technologies that the G3 men were wielding. "Don't you think the technology looks a little bit too advanced here?"
Zak replied with an interest "Definitely." This cannot be human-made, unless this Earth has its own Secret Scientists.
Ben questioned the organization's leader, "What exactly is G3?"
Solomon made the decision to give them a brief description as well as additional useful information. The principal objective of the Galactic Guardian Group, a non-governmental security organization, is to defend Earth against any intergalactic threats while simultaneously carrying out experimental research on everything of extraterrestrial origin.
Boone scratched his chin, "So you're like an alien fighting G-men." "Oh, I believe I saw a show or something like a movie about that."
Sashi poked him in the sides. She snarled, "Focus."
Ashi recalled, "You said there was a present danger that needed our attention."
Cat Nor said, "Care to fill us in?"
Everyone complied as he said, "If you would all follow me to the main deck, we can assess the situation." They walked and observed numerous incredible alien relics and technology left over from earlier battles with the Titan. When they finally reached the main deck of the floating fortress, they observed workers slavishly tending to the enormous monitors that filled the space. The large screens that displayed news alerts with recognizable pictures of Novatron spacecraft was one thing that definitely caught their interest. He questioned his subordinates, "Any updates?"
One of the agents watching the monitors said, "None so far, sir." He soberly informed him, "The president has issued all of the armed forces available to respond, but we are counting more human casualties by the minute." "The entire global military has been ordered into action."
We received word from our soldiers stationed in Asia, sir, that they need reinforcements.
"It has been established that the Amazon Jungle is inhabited."
"Mass exodus has been ordered."
Solomon received a worried look from Ilana. "What's happening?"
The G3 leader gave them an explanation of what was happening in the rest of the world. He pointed to the images of the citadels guarded by Darkentor soldiers, much to their alarm, and said, "Right after you all took care of the attack on Sherman, we intercepted security alerts from all over the world. These aliens aren't finished with us just yet, cities and places worldwide have reported these." "The entire world is in a state of panic, and we are mobilizing every resource at our disposal."
"So we're talking about an invasion on a global scale? Because such seldom end successfully." Ben said, truly sounding serious throughout the entire ordeal. The Galalunians, who already saw the same thing happen to their home planet, found it heartbreaking to see their new one suffer the same torment. Ilana held her hands to her mouth to hold back a soft sob, and Lance placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. He has seen the kind of damage that can be done by this type of attack, and the one thing he hates is the needless destruction it brings to both the planet and the species that inhabit it. others who were watching the news coverage of.
Is it really that horrible now? glared at Danny and questioned. "And all of this began to occur after we dealt with those scumbags back at the Sherman property? " These aliens, he had to acknowledge, work quickly.
Then they heard a beeping sound, which caught their attention. "General Steel has called to speak with us."
Lance, Ilana, and Octus were equally as irritated by the mere mention of the irritable and antagonistic army general as Solomon was, as they had interacted with him numerous times previously and none of those interactions had been particularly pleasant. His nose's bridge is being pinched. "You three, I hope you don't mind me asking if you mind hiding yourselves and the others. No telling what the good General would feel about them."
Ilana added her understanding and consent. She and her friends led the team away and she said, "Of course. Come on guys."
Steven questioned Lance, "What's so bad about this General Steel guy?"
Steel shrugged, "He doesn't sound so bad to me."
That is solely a result of his last name. Max responded by folding his arms.
In irritation, the corporal shook his head. He said scowling, "Trust me, you'll know when you hear him."
Solomon instructed the technician to put the general through after the team had disappeared from view. As soon as he appeared on the screen, Julius Steel's enraged face roared, "SOLOMON!"
Solomon replied in an uninterested voice, "General."
As much as I hate to ask, I want to know if you and your small alien sympathy group are taking action to address the entire cluster-fudge that has been occurring around the globe."The President wants to know if you and your guys are at least pulling their own weight," General Steel growled. "I've already got my hands full with traveling to Washington, which is being torn apart even as we speak."
"Well, it would please the president to know that I have dispatched multiple teams, and they will do everything in their power to repel this invasion," the leader of G3 said, mentally taking deep breaths to disregard the general's attitude. He remarked in a mysterious manner, but the general could see straight through it. "I can also say that they'll be getting some help along the way."
"Those Titan Kids, are you serious?" When General Steel asked whether a portion of the quote sounded more like a statement, he replied, "The Titan part," with a sneer to convey his disdain.
"I'd watch your tone because Lance, Ilana, and Octus have consistently protected Earth from the Mutraddi. This time won't be any different." The three Galalunians who were huddling together smiled in appreciation as Solomon spoke up in favor of the three. Their home planet and ours have established good relations, and they still support us today.
"Perhaps in your eyes, but don't believe for a second that I have forgotten how much grief they have caused me with their huge menace. Who's to say that getting involved won't ultimately result in more issues? I don't want to be the one to face criticism for first believing those three, who broke into a military base and tampered with the H.M.E.R." General Steel said.
Although it would have been tempting to reprimand the general for his role in some of those situations, such as the Mutraddi cloud that was brought on by the fire Mega Beast, Titan chose to maintain a professional demeanor.
"Tell the president that G3 is lending their support to end this crisis as quickly as possible, and if there's nothing else to say, I believe you should focus on your mission as well." both men gave others a brief stare down, until the general turned off the transmission, making Solomon give a light sigh of relief. "Okay, you all can stop hiding now.
After seeing the conversation, Ben questioned, "So I'm going to ask, who was that Big old blowhead? He didn't really like the way the general spoke about aliens and criticized Titan, kind of reminded him of Will Harangue."
Danny said, "Sounds to me like there's more to it than just that."
Ilana turned to face him and continued. "Let's just say, he's never been that much of a fan of us."
Lance scowled, "Mostly because we're not from Earth."
The star frowned."But it sounds unfair."
Rex stated with narrowed eyes, "Guys like him don't care about things being fair, Star."
Octus asked, "Do you have experience, Rex?"
He shrugged, Rex. The phrase "more or less."
Manny wondered, "So, what do we do now?"
"Solomon, three of us will travel to the locations where the attacks are taking place, while also trying to find the source of this invasion," Lance replied for him with a serious expression before turning to the leader of G3. Until we finish, you people should be here.
Rex moved to step in and said, "Woah, wait a minute there soldier boy." Lance flashed him a look at his new moniker. "You want us to just let you and your friends get all the action, while we just stay here?"
Lance said, prompting Rex to stare at the corporal and say, "Well, look at that. It looks like you really can't listen." The three of us have been guarding this world for a time now; it is under our protection. Besides, since all of you are from other Earths, there's no reason why you should be concerned at all with this one."
Ben questioned, "But don't you think you might need a little help?" He noted that "this might be much larger than just a city."
"Ben's right." Danny sounded off. "Like it or not, you require our assistance."
Ilana immediately grinned at the idea and heartily agreed with it before Lance could strongly reject him. "What a great idea!"
The corporal took a second look." We scarcely know any of these individuals; how do we know they'll be even more trustworthy in the field? Ilana, you can't be serious."
Sashi sent him a look, "I'm sorry, but didn't we just save your home from an alien invasion?" She disliked being underrated.
Max added another fair argument, "Not to mention backing you up with those giant robots."
Octus informed him, "Lance, they are correct." The robot pointed towards Ben, Rex, and Max Steel, saying, "Had it not been for their quick action, the machine's strikes would have damaged Titan's armor, not to mention what would have happened to us if the other three weren't busy battling them.
Steel put his servo out for a hi-five, which Octus accepted. Sashi admonished him with a frown, not liking to be undervalued. "Don't sweat it buddy, us inorganic life forms gotta stick together."
Since each of the young heroes has a unique set of skills and abilities that make them a very effective defense force against any attack, as evidenced by the way they saved Sherman, Solomon rubbed his chin as he considered the possibility of the entire team working together to save the entire planet. "You know, that actually might just work out. With the sophisticated technology these unknowns possess, my organization and the military of Earth can only survive for so long."
Although Lance truly didn't want to admit it, he and Ilana were correct.
Steven commanded them all to look at him and said, "Okay, I'm surprised that nobody else brought this up, but I am the only one wondering just who we're dealing with?" Who exactly are these aliens, where did they come from, and why are they suddenly attacking? Isn't anyone even the slightest bit curious?
Kim remarked, "Good question." Hey Ben, you're an expert on aliens, have you ever seen this type of alien? Have you seen these things before?
Ben paused to reflect before speaking. "Can't say I have, and I've been to every corner of the universe, well, my universe at least." Ben then turned to Jack and said, "Jack, you said that Professor Paradox and some others sent you here, same with Penn and his friends. Did they say anything about them other than the fact that they were attacking?"
Jack responded, dropping his head, "All they said was that these creatures had nefarious intentions for not only this but all worlds in existence." I'm sorry, but that's all I can tell you.
My people have only ever encountered one other species, thus I can safely say that I have never seen lifeforms like this. She said, startled when he didn't answer, "My father himself has been to many planets before I was born, what about you, Solomon?" Yet again, there was no response to "Solomon". He ignored her numerous attempts to attract his attention. "Hello?"
The team realized something was wrong when they looked about and saw that everyone else was perfectly still and immobile, just like a statue. Even the TVs were frozen, and it was unlikely that anyone had touched the pause button. Aang said, feeling a little uneasy, "Uh, what's going on here?"
When Cat Noir approached a technician, he snapped his fingers but received no response. He worriedly remarked, "Nothing."
Jenny quickly checked on each G3 agent using her built-in scanner." Vital indicators appear to be fine."
"Is it just me, or did the ship cease moving altogether?" Ladybug asked. They could vaguely feel the floating headquarters moving, but it was now immobile like its people.
Danny made the decision to see outside by phasing through the ship, and when he did, he noticed that the ship had halted and that the nearby birds were also frozen in midair. Once he was certain, he flew back inside. "Outside, everything is also frozen."
When Ben looked at the clock on the screen, he saw that it wasn't moving. However, when everyone else looked at the clock after Ben said, "Hey Guys, look at the clock, anything you guys are aware of?", they all realized that the clock wasn't moving.
Danny remarked, "You're right, the clock isn't moving; after all, clocks always function when we move."
Ben answered, "Exactly, nobody is moving because everybody is stop like Time itself is stopped."
The gang turned around to see Professor Paradox saying, "That is correct Benjamin, I knew you would figure it out eventually." Ben, Rex, Zak, and Max Steel recognized the voice as being from him.
Lance activated his armor and pointed his wrist cannons at the Time Walker simply by catching a glimpse of this unidentified creature. "Who are you?"
Ben intervened in front of him before he could fire. "Hold your fire, he's a friend, "Ben said.
"You know him?" Lance questioned.
Lance turned off his armor because he appeared so confident, "Yeah, his name's Professor Paradox. He's a good guy, trust me."
A different voice agreed, "Well what do you know, he's smart to know about how we stopped time." Jake and Boone jumped in shock as they spotted Clockwork.
Danny said, "Clockwork!" with amazement.
Jack stared in awe at them both. "What are you two doing in this place?"
Bunnix came in front of them and said, "Came to check on your progress, and I must say that you have all performed quite remarkably." She laughed amusedly, "Imagine how stupid those Novatrons must feel that they accidentally brought about their own destruction by transporting the majority of you here." "After all these years, they still haven't figured out how to think for themselves."
Ladybug and Cat Noir both said "Bunnix" at the same time.
Alix said, "Hey Ladybug and Cat Noir."
Ron asked, his confused mind scratching, "Okay, back up a minute." What's up with the train conductor, the ghost with the clock, and the girl dressed as a bunny?
He repeated his offer, "Oh, how rude of us. The good fellow floating over there is named Clockwork the ghost master of time, while I am Professor Paradox, time traveling expert and scientist and Bunnix, time travelling hero at your service. Gumball?"
Penn, Sashi, and Boone were caught aback by the presence of Phylis along with Phil as well. "Paradox, enough with the gumballs already." "100,000 years later, and you still eat those."
Clockwork made the decision to deal with the issue at hand." My colleague and I have extensive knowledge of these beings, and we can show and tell you everything you need to know. All you need to do is listen. Tell me, you all want to know the exact origins of the Novatrons, correct? You wish to know more about your enemy before moving forward to figure out how to defeat them." Only the team was left to be carried to the lovely space as Solomon and the other G3 agents vanished with a wave of his staff, covering the entire G3 base in a blue fog. The team was in awe of the view, made much more so by the three gods, as the fog finally cleared.
Ben turned to face the researcher. He questioned, "Paradox, you said you and this ghost dude know about these Novatrons, how?"
As a tear in the space appeared, it exposed what appeared to be static, and Odin replied, "That young champion, is what we will explain to you." Everyone waited for the space screen to appear, which then revealed that it was a planet of normal size. The screen then shifted to the surface, which was nothing more than a barren wasteland devoid of any life or bodies of water, with only mountain ranges filling the areas.
Phylis remarked, "This all dates back to the twilight era of the multiverse." they all start to see what appeared to be a tribe of aliens that resembled the Novatrons, but unlike the technologically advanced aliens that they fought back on Earth, they were similar to a more primitive and barbaric way of life. "Before life began to evolve and prosper, it was home to a species of savage aliens in this particular world," they all say. When the savages ambushed it and took it back to their camp for food, they were stalking an animal-like life form with four legs that was moving slowly. They were just as common as any race in any galaxy called Novus before they even dubbed themselves Novatrons."
Phil said, "Even back then, they were very violent."
Clockwork seized control. He pointed to one Novatron who was standing apart from the others, saying, "But it was just the beginning of their ascent. Pay attention to that fellow right there, the one who isn't that much social with his own kind. The Novatron was walking a great distance from the campsite when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. To his surprise, it was a blue portal that shot out a flying object that crashed close to him. You could say that the Novatron is the main character in this story. He approached a damaged ship that was more technologically advanced than anything he had ever seen out of curiosity. As he got closer, he noticed the alien pilot step out, but was too preoccupied trying to obtain help to notice the sly Novatron following its way. The extraterrestrial was attacked by the Novatrons, who then beat him to death. As you can see, the crash-landing alien belonged to a species that had mastered interdimensional travel.
Professor Paradox told them, "The Novatrons have always lived by the flawed code that only the strongest are permitted to reign and dominate over all while the weak ones should shrivel and die. The image then showed the Novatron standing over the body of someone wearing a cloak and skull as a crown. "And with the new technology that this particular one had obtained, it was only a matter of time until his reign of power began." Professor Paradox pointing to Ben, "He took on the mantle of being their unchallenged emperor after defeating the previous ruler of his people, whose name you all know is Zone, the very same monster who's trying to beat you.
"Using the cutting-edge technology he now possessed, Zone led his people down a path that was paved only with bloodshed and conflict." Ra kept talking. The squad arrived at Zone's army of Novatrons and were all set to enter the spinning vortex when they noticed that Zone had just mastered the ship's portal technology. They then watched in unison horror as the Novatrons attacked this world, killing as many innocents as they could. "Unfortunately, his people were born pacifist and so, they were inexperienced in the ways of battle, and unfortunately met their end. They were the first of many victims that would fall by their hands,".
Rama waved for the image on the television to change to the Novatrons eradicating the city's technological advancements. The screen depicts numerous instances where the Novatrons invaded a peaceful world and conquered it; there were images of highly destructive wars and battles beyond anyone's dream. "They utilized the technology of that world for their own use, prime among them being the technology that allowed them to traverse into alternate planes of existence, many civilizations were invaded and completely subjugated and lead to oblivion." By modifying the technology to fit their needs, their species advances with each word they conquer.
And so, according to Phylis, "that was the point at which the Novatrons became the single greatest threat to maintain the balance of the entire multiverse." She pointed at herself, her male counterpart, and everyone else who wasn't a time master, time traveler, or divinity, and said, "And something needed to be done about them. Which was why we were needed." They were fought off by us and other beings with knowledge of the multiverse until we were able to send them back to their home dimension.
With a solemn expression, Clockwork assured them, "I can guarantee you that it wasn't simple. "Many lives were lost in the battle, but it all paid off in the end when we were able to seal them inside their own universe, and we had assumed that would be the end of it. Little did we know, they were only biding their time until the seal began to weaken, and they would soon start their plans for multidimensional conquest once more, which brings us to now."
The group was in amazement and astonishment after hearing this story, and they now had a clear idea of their adversaries—a race of dimensional travelers that would stop at nothing to exterminate any living thing that stood in their way. Ben questioned, "So wait, if you guys beat them last time, why not try again?"
Professor Paradox: "Believe me, we would." The strong gods themselves lack the power to intervene, but certain boundaries have been set, and I'm worried that humans have fallen to the status of mere observers.
As he turned to face the group, Clockwork grinned dryly." The multiverse is in good hands with you leading the struggle, therefore you need not worry at all, in my opinion."
His eyes jumped out of June's head. "Wait, you're referring to us?"
Bunnix laughed at her demeanor. "Since I can't think of any other gang of wonderfully disruptive and precocious misfits other than all of you, I suppose I should say as much, young Lee."
Randy stated to Jake, "I can't tell if that was a compliment."
Jake gave a shrug. You can never fully understand what she is saying.
Ladybug couldn't help but wonder, "But why us?" You guys were able to defeat them, but they only recovered stronger; how can we make a difference? I mean, out of all the people in the multiverse, why do you believe we can defeat them?
Odin glanced down at them all and said, "A simple answer to a simple question, holder of the Ladybug Miraculous." Each of you is extraordinary in many different ways; some of you have achieved a great deal in the past, while others are only beginning to tap into your full potential. We have all been watching you all for a while.
Bunnix grinned, "Each of you is strong in your own right, but together, you have the potential to be so much more." She pointed to herself and the other cosmic beings and said, "In fact, we've been playing with this idea for a while. You see, there are many threats in this vast multiverse and we sometimes wonder what would happen if a group of remarkable people could unite together as a powerful force against a common threat. However, up until this point, it had seemed to be nothing more than a childish dream because there was no current common threat of any kind.
Paradox gave them the ultimatum, saying, "The choice is yours, either you decide to work together in order to stop the Novatrons from destroying not just your worlds, but every world in existence, or you could ask us to take you home and accept your inevitable fate." "Everything depends on the decision you made as a group."
The first one to move forward was Ben. He said to the beings, "Count me in, there's no way I'm letting them destroy everything."
Opus looked at Ben. Octus asked him out of concern, "Ben, are you sure you wouldn't want to think about your decision?"
Ben looked up at him. He started to look around at the others and said, "There's nothing to think about." I don't know about most of you, but I'm not just gonna stand by and let that happen; that's not my style. "You all saw what these Novatron creeps are capable of; they invade, attack, and destroy without any sense of guilt; a lot of innocents were massacred by them and now they want to do the same with us and all our homes where our friends and family also live in so who's with me."
With a knowing smirk, Rex, Zak, Max, and Steel stood beside their friend. Rex responded, "Well, if you're in, then we've got your back."
Zak nodded in agreement and said, "Got that right I'm not gonna miss this experiment."
Max remarked, "You don't need to ask us dude, you need Turbo power in this.
Steel remarked, "I'm with Max on that one; we've got your back, bro."
In the same way that Aku was created with the intention of destroying all evil, Jack cast a quick glance at his blade. The samurai knew what had to be done. Jack approached Ben and grinned with assurance. "My friend, it would be an honor to fight alongside you in this war, and I will gladly lend you my strength. You possess a selfless heart and a righteous spirit."
Ben shook the samurai's hand and said, "Appreciate it."
Ashi took hold of Jack's hand. She grinned at her partner, who grinned back, saying, "In that case, I'm joining too."
Putting up his hand, Danny declared, "I'm in on this one if you need backup I'm your guy."
Randy added, "So am I."
Jake nodded and said "Me too".
Kim spoke on her and Ron's behalf. "Let's do it if it means saving everyone we care about," Kim said.
Rufus squeaked, "Boo-Yah!"
Ron grinned, "Got that right, buddy."
Jenny put her hands on her metal hips, "My mother invented me to save the world. Pretty sure it's obvious where I stand."
El Tigre exclaimed, "Like I'll miss this fiesta!"
Cat Noir asked her partner, who was still hesitant to include her in this crucial mission to save all worlds, "We're gonna help out too, right milady?" One reassuring glance from her partner and the memories of her parents, best friend, and crush were enough to give her the confidence she needed.
"You can count on me and Cat Noir." Ladybug said.
Steven declared, "I'm staying too. I miss my dad and my friends so I won't let them down."
Aang responded, "So am I. I'm not going to let them destroy everything, including my friends."
"I'm already engaged in this battle, so you don't need to ask," June said.
Star Butterfly was so nervous about it that she was nearly shivering. She exclaimed, "I am so in! You're going to, right Marco?!" to her best friend.
Star ripped off the puppy dog eyes just as Marco was beginning to decline, causing him to collapse. We were probably going to die if we chose to return home, so what the heck.
Ilana was struck by each person's resolve to aid in the eradication of these monsters, but when she noticed Lance, she became concerned. She put her hand on his shoulder to make him turn to her, and she gave him a pleading look. Lance then looked to Octus for advice, and saw the robot companion mod. Finally conceding, Lance sighed in resignation. "Okay, fine, we will work together."
Professor Paradox grinned. "Well, I see you made your choice. However, before we leave, I have a gift for Ben."
Ben questioned, "Wait, a gift?"
A gray-end, black-and-white key was taken by Professor Paradox. Ben asked with confusion, "A key you give me a key?"
Professor Paradox replied, "It's not just a key Benjamin, it's a key for your recalibrated complete omnitrix."
Before Ben could ask another question, the key began to glow green. The symbol had a keyhole in it and the fully calibrated omnitrix was also glowing. The key was inserted into Ben's watch.
The Omnitrix began to beep and flash green before ceasing to do so. The Omnitrix declared, "Omni-Key is in the source Omni-Kix function unlock."
Ben questioned Professor Paradox, "Omni-Kix function? what is that?"
Professor Paradox said, "Azmuth has been developing on a new function for the Omnitrix called the Omni-Kix function. It is similar to the Ultimate function, but instead of evolving the aliens, it turns them into cutting-edge battle armors.
"Why is he giving it to me?", said Ben.
Professor Paradox says, "He knew you'd retain it, he claimed you earned it after saving so much in our universe, but he knows your adversaries will get their hands on it."
Ben grins. "Man, that's cool, tell Azmuth that I say thanks" Ben said.
Clockwork brandished his staff as the fog returned, "Now is the time to act." Pressing the button, he said, "Time in."
Paradox winked, "Good luck."
As soon as Clockwork started again and everyone returned to G3's main office, Solomon rubbed his temples slightly in response to the unexpected flood of thought. "Were you saying something?"
Ben responded, "Actually yeah." We made a plan for how we're going to cooperate to do whatever it takes to stop the Novatrons once and for all. When you indicated that they were attacking places, which one specifically?"
Solomon gestured toward the maps. "According to the sources, there have been numerous attacks in Egypt, the Amazon, Paris, and Washington, D.C.," he said.
Ben turned to face the other squad members. "We could attack as a team, but I believe we'd have a better chance if we split up into four teams. There are several fortresses in these, and they have a lot of personnel and weapons."
Octus concurred, saying, "Logical sense of planning."
Solomon assured them, "I can provide your teams with G3 ships for transportation."
"So, who is collaborating with who?" inquired Steel.
"Ninja, Ladybug, Zak, June and Octus, you guys will go to Paris. Jake, Kim, Steven, Ron, Aang, Boone and Cat Noir will take care of Egypt. Rex, Lance, El Tigre, Max Steel, and Jenny have the Amazon Jungle. Finally joining me are Danny, Jack, Ashi, Penn, Sashi, Ilana, Star, and Marco in Washington. Now let's move people!" Ben commanded as they started to go to their respective G3 transportation.
So chapter 12 is I hope you enjoy this chapter.
