Omni-Magic Summer EP 5: Hunted
I don't own anything, except my OCs.
In a dark room, 3 spotlights shine down on 3 different individuals. One is a humanoid that has purple-reddish armor, sliver pouches all over his body, and sliver armor plating with a hint of blueish tint on his chest. He has 4-clawed hands and hooved feet and black highlights on his armor. He lastly has a mask with four outlines on the face.
Another is a crab-like alien with pale goldish-brown armor. A large, spherical abdomen that has 4 scythe-like legs with sharp kneecaps, and a sideways mouth. His shoulders are covered in armor with bright, narrow lines going all over him and a bolt on his left arm, that has a large, powerful pincer for a left hand. Within the pincer was a power blaster combined with a chemical sprayer.
The final one is wearing a black suit covering his upper body with a red stripe in the middle and grey pants. He has grey clawed gloves and a grey belt, as well as black boots with grey soles. He wears bones as ornamentation over his clothes. He has a silver helmet with a red 'v' and 'eyebrows' on the face and 3 horns on top of it with 2 tubes connected to 2 bottoms 'fangs'.
"Begin the Audition!" Vilgax's voice boomed out as the room lit up, revealing dozens of hovering spider drones. The purple hunter leaps off the hovering platform and lands in the middle of them, pulling out a laser gun and blasting them all while dodging. Another swarm went in but was blown up by a wrist missile launcher and he then threw a grenade at another pack. The crab hops off and smashes a bunch of them with his pincher, even grabbing one and tossing it into another group as he slices one apart with the blade on his back.
3 large bots land behind them, only for 2 to have their heads blasted off. The others looked at the final hunter, who was holding a smoking sniper blaster. He holsters the weapon and gets out a small disc, leaping on the head of the final bot and placing it there. He lands near the others and gets a small remote, pushing it and making the disc explode, destroying the last drone.
Just then, a big holo-screen shows up with Vilgax on it. "Very impressive. You are all hired." The screen shows Ben's watch as Vilgax explains. "Your objective: 'GASP' Is to retrieve the Omnitrix! 'GASP' The one who succeeds will collect the reward! 'WHEEZE' Do not fail me!"
The hunters were then launched from pods down to earth, beginning the hunt for Ben Tennyson.
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.
In a junkyard far from the city, Celestia and Luna were setting up a makeshift training arena as they set the finishing touches. Celestia went to the controls as Luna sat nearby. "Okay! You ready?" Ben merely smirks and slaps the Omnitrix, making a flash of green light.
The watch sinks into his arm as red rocks cover his arms and start spreading up to his head. He shuts his eyes, just as the hot rocks engulf them. The Omnitrix flashes on his chest as Heatblast throws his arms out and poses.
"Oh yeah! I'm so ready!" Heatblast exclaims as he cracks his knuckles. "Remember to think out there, Ben! Pure power isn't going to solve all your problems. You need to think of a plan as well." "I know! But it's always fun!" Heatblast responds as he ignites his palms. Luna rolls her eyes and sighs. "Hopeful, he'll learn with this training session."
The older sister pulls a lever, making some cans fly up as Heatblasts blasts them with a fireball. She then pulled some more levers and made some targets pop out from some wrecked cars. The alien turns and blasts them with dual flamethrowers at them. He then backs up as more targets show up and does a reverse roundhouse kick that sends out a wave of fire, blasting them as well. He threw some fire discs at the cans behind them, slicing through them as well as blowing them up.
Dummy targets with paintball guns popped up as Heatblast rolled forward and blasted them with fire. He grins as he blows on his finger like a gun. "He's still just powering through it. He's not thinking about his actions." The vice-principal groans out as Celestia calls out. "Remember, Ben! Think and focus!" The alien waves at her. "I got it, Aunt Celestia! No problem!" He then ducks and blasts a flame from over his shoulder. But just as he looks forward, he briefly widens his eye sockets at a tire swinging at him, only to get knocked back by it.
As he hits the ground, a fireball flies from his hand at Luna, who gasps and leaps out of the way just as it hits the junk behind her, exploding into flames. Celestia gasps and grabs a fire extinguisher, running to the flames and putting it out. She helps her sister up as she smiles back. Heatblast sat up and rubbed his head, only to look up to see his aunts looking sternly at him. "Uhhh… My bad?" The alien grins weakly.
The trio were heading back to Canterlot Mall as Luna scolds her nephew. "You should have been more careful! But instead, you almost charbroiled me!" "I'm sorry, Aunt Luna! What more do you want from me?" Celestia answers as she drives into the city. "What we want is for you to take that watch more seriously! It's not a toy, Ben! You need to learn to think before acting!"
Ben merely leans back with his hands behind his head and feet crossed. "I know but come on! I'm the baddest Ben in town! I kicked so much bad guy butt; my feet hurt!" "Well, one of these days, you are going to get your butt kicked! And you need to learn that raw force doesn't grant you victory, every time!" Luna responds as they pull up to the mall.
Back at the junkyard, the 3rd hunter is using a device to scan the area. "This is where the Omnitrix was last activated." As the hunter walks into the training course, the other 2 follow after him as the purple one says something in an unknown language as he flies off on a jetpack. "You can say that again! A rock like this is better off space dust." The robot crab comments.
As the 2 hunters talk with each other, the 3rd one is investigating the burnt remains of the junk. He stabs a piece of metal with a knife as he examines it and notices the burnt footprints on the ground as he looks closer. "Hmm... Defiantly the work of a Pyronite."
Just then, a hand grabs the 3rd and turns him around. "What are you doing, Khyber? We're trying to find the Omnitrix! Not observe old wreckage." "I would not recommend doing that again, Krab. Unless you want to be a meal for my 'old friend?" The hunters stare each other down as Six-Six gets in the way and points out in his language as he waves his blaster around in a threatening manner.
"WHOA! Big talk coming from a gearhead!" Krabb snarks out as Six-Six decides to take off with his jetpack, flying through the air as Krabb uses his legs to dig through the ground. "Listen, Khyber! Don't even think about getting in the way! The Omnitrix and whoever it's attached to is mine!" Khyber mumbles out to Krabb. "We'll see about that."
Khyber then pulls out a yellow glowing, egg-shaped device and tosses it, releasing a large being in a flash of yellow light. It is a huge, rock-based life form with a crab-like body and a rhino-like face with a purple color scheme and shrunken red eyes. It has six crab-like legs and has spikes on them. It has a long horn and small ears. It has a mount on its back with a saddle.
"Hello, old friend." Khyber greets it as he leaps on the mount. "The hunt is on!" The beast bellows in agreement and lumbers away. But as it did, it stepped on a stray rope, activating the course. In the blink of an eye, Khyber pulls out a blaster and fires at it, destroying the entire thing in one shot as well as half the junkyard, luckily, no one saw the blast or was hurt as a dust cloud came from it. Khyber made his pet move, heading after Ben.
At the Mall, Ben was enjoying himself at the arcade as Celestia left to help the Rainbooms with a dance contest at school to help raise money to repair Camp Everfree from the rampaging magic and the killer robot attacks. Ben had just finished his game as he was chilling at a table and eating Chill Fries as his aunt watched. "How can you stomach those things?" She groans out in disgust as Ben shrugs. "What? Chill Fries are awesome!"
He then saw 4 girls in different dancing outfits, performing by the water fountain in front of a video camera. "What are they doing?" Luna glances back at them as she explains. "Those are the Shadowbolts from Crystal Prep. It's a proteaginous school in the city that is one of the top schools in the country." "Oh, I get it! It's a place for snobs and posers!" Luna had a 'really?' look as she continued. "Anyway, from what I gathered from Sunset; they are entering the same dance contest as the Rainbooms." "So, this contest is for a cash prize to help fix Camp Everfree from when those robots attacked and Gloriosa went crazy with power? Seems a bit like a plot point for a cartoon."
Just then, both kid and woman glance at the 4th wall in response to that last bit, feeling weirded out. "HELP!" The 2 glance to see a hooded man running with something under his arm as a storeowner points at him. "Thief!" "Shoplifter, huh? Looks like a job for XLR8!" Ben smirks as he runs off and hides behind a corner after making sure no one is watching. FLASH
But unbeknownst to him, Six-Six was flying through the air, when a screen on the back of his hand beeps, showing a blinking dot. Realizing it was his target, the bounty hunter started tracking the Omnitrix and was heading to his location by sky.
Back in the mall, the man ran as fast as he could trying to escape with his stolen goods. But before he could get away, a blue blur shot passed and tripped him up. "WOW!" He cried, hitting the ground and sliding along it for several moments before coming to a stop. He moaned as he sat himself up, looking over and seeing the game console he had stolen was right beside him.
He tried to grab it, but the blue blur shot passed again and it vanished. "Looking for something?" He heard someone ask, looking around to see the one who had tripped him up: Rainbow Dash. "You realize you're supposed to pay for the things you want, right?" The guy glared at her and tried to get up to attack, only to find his body couldn't move. "What the?" He cried, Rainbow noticed the purple aura around him and looked behind him to see Twilight, keeping him still with her magic. The security guards soon arrived, and Rainbow handed the box over to them, the guards thanked her whilst grabbing the guy as Twilight let him go. He cried out as they dragged him off to the mall's jail, Rainbow and Twilight high-fived each other and celebrated a job well done as the rest of the Rainbooms joined up.
"Wait..." Luna mumbles to herself. "If that was Rainbow, where's Ben?" She decided to check up on where he last saw him and ran around the corner, after making sure they weren't looking. "Ben? Ben?" She spoke as she looked around, only to be surprised when a familiar magnet alien showed up. "Right here... The stupid watch gave me Lodestar instead!" Lodestar pouts with crossed arms as Luna points out. "I think the watch is telling you that not all the city's problems need alien help. So, you're just going to stay here until you change back?" "Pretty much." Lodestar shrugs out.
Just then, they felt the ground starting to shake as they glanced around. "What is that?" They quickly looked out and saw the Shadowbolts running away from the central water fountain. It was shaking as some water spilled out, just for it to explode and send bits of it everywhere! "Are you okay?!" Sunset asks the Shadowbolts as one response. "We're fine. And luckily, we managed to save our camera with our video on it!" "No doubt which has my idea in it as well." Rarity frowns with crossed arms.
Fluttershy, who is holding Spike, looks at the smoke as they both get looks of terror. "Uhh… I'm guessing the metal crab monster isn't part of the video too?!" Spike blurts out. The girls all turn and gasp in shock at the sight of Krabb. He pops his head up and marches to the terrified teens as Lodestar comments in shock. "Now that, I did not see coming!" Luna adds out. "Ditto." One of the Shadowbolts spoke to the Rainbooms. "Uhh... Seeing how this is your department, girls. We'll leave this to you." "Yeah! No offense, but since you're the one with the magic powers..." "No, no! We get it." Sunset understands what the ponytailed and headphone-wearing Shadowbolts are saying the 4 quickly bolts to safety as the Rainbooms stare down Krabb.
"All right, which one of you have the Omnitrix?" Krabb demands, confusing the girls as they look at each other. "Omni-what?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Don't play dumb with me! I tracked its location to this place! Now hand it over and I promise you all that you won't suffer…. Much!" Krabb snaps his pincher in case of point as Pinkie gets a brave look and points at him.
"Or what, crabby pants? You don't look that scary at all!" Krabb merely fires a laser beam that barely misses Pinkie Pie and hits the abandoned kiosk way behind her, blowing it to smithereens and bits as the others gape at it while Pinkie gets a shocked look as she stands still. "Do I scare you now?" Pinkie ducks behind Sunset as Fluttershy does the same. "Yep, pretty much." The terrified teen squeaks.
"So, what the heck the walking metal crab man is talking about? The Omni-whatever?" "Omnitrix. And what do you think an alien would be doing here? It's after the watch!" "You don't have to get all snippy, you know?" Lodestar narrows his eyes at Luna's remark as he decides to get in closer. He ducks behind objects as the others don't notice.
Rainbow Dash and Applejack nod at each other and step forward. "Listen here, varmint! I don't know who in Sam Hill are you. But yer'll can't go around, threatening our friends, you yellow-bellied snake!" "Yeah, you have no idea who are you dealing with!" Krabb responds. "Funny, I was just about to say the same thing."
Rainbow and Applejack activate their magic as Rainbow starts running around, hoping to confuse him as the cowgirl charges to deliver a super strong punch. But Krabb grabs the fist in his claw and starts spinning around the cowgirl as she screams out and is tossed towards a window, but Twilight manages to grab her in her magic and bring her down. "Thanks, Twi! I almost got turned into applesauce back there." "Please!" Applejack glances at Krabb. "You call that a punch? I've fought Appoplexians that hit harder than you!"
Krabb was then body-checked a few times by Rainbow Dash as he grunted in annoyance. "You think you're the first speeder I've fought?" He swung his claw around, but Rainbow slid under it, "Compared to a Kineceleran, you're moving in slow motion!" His upper half spun around as he fired a strange liquid from his claw, which hit the ground all around him. When Rainbow tried to tackle him again, she slipped on it. "Waaahhh!" Rainbow cries out as she crashes into the others, piling them up as Krabb aims his claw and prepares to fire his laser, only for a large metal bench to crash into him, knocking him away as they glance at Lodestar from the side.
"You girls get out of here! I'll take care of the walking seafood platter!" "Right, come on!" Sunset leads the girls out as she realizes that requires an alien hero to deal with. Lodestar then hurls Krabb into a glass window with his magnetism, due to the hunter's body made of metal, and smashes into a crash register as money flies out, but the hunter ignores the small change as he comes out and glares at Lodestar, seeing the Omnitrix symbol on the chest and realizes he found his target.
"Boy, you put the ug in ugly, pal!" Lodestar taunts as Krabb merely replies "So, you're the one with the prize, huh? Hand over the Omnitrix! And I promise, I'll try to make it as painless as possible!" Lodestar responds. "Sorry, pal! The watch and I are kind of attached." "Not for long!" Krabb charges at him as Lodestar leaps over and dodges the attack from the hunter. He then kicks him away as he charges his claws up and glares at the hunter. 'You don't know who you're messing with, dude!" "Just like I told your buddies, I was thinking the same thing as well!" Krabb calls back as he charges.
As Twilight and Luna ran back to see if they could help Ben, they both arrived to see Lodestar, sliding on his back as his head spun around and around, only to reach up and stop it. "I hate it when that happens..." Krabb approached the alien hero they saw a bit of damage around the area. "At least you put up a decent fight… For a dim earthling!" The hunter taunts the single-celled alien as he glares. Twilight notices a nearby window that leads outside and gets an idea. "BEN! OUT THE WINDOW!"
Krabb turns his head around as Lodestar notices them, spotting the window, and realizes what she means. While Krabb is distracted, Lodestar holds his arms to the side as he generates a big magnet aura from the, gathering together a bunch of metal objects and things and forcing them into a large ball of stuff as he holds it above his head. He then hurls the large metal ball with all of his might and hits Krabb, knocking him through the window, and sending him flying out of the mall and into the parking lot, smashing into a tree. As Krabb got up and rubbed his head, the tree was leaning towards him until… CRASH!
Ben, Twilight, and Luna ran out to the parking lot to see Krabb underneath the tree as his legs twitched. "Ouch! Smashed like a bug!" The boy cringes after he times out from being Lodestar. "Come on! That's not going to hold him for long!" Twilight cries out as they get into Rainboom's tour bus, which was parked nearby, start up the engine, and take off, hoping to at least draw the bounty hunter away from the city and innocent civilians.
"No sign of crab cakes!" Twilight exclaims as she sits next to Ben as Luna drives the bus as quickly as possible. " "So, that alien is after the watch?" Luna questions. "Yes. But it kept calling it the Omnitrix." Twilight answers as Ben smirks as he looks at the Omnitrix. "Well, he better not come back if he knows what's-" BANG.
The trio looks at the roof, only to see a red energy saw slicing through a part of it. "I think the crab is up for round 2!" Twilight exclaims in shock. 2 pairs of sliver claws pull it apart to reveal Six-Six, much to their shock. "WHO IS THAT!?" "I don't know! Friend of crabby?!" Ben questions as the hunter tries to grab the boy while demanding the Omnitrix.
Luna saw this via the rearview mirror and narrowed her eyes, hitting the brakes and making the hunter tumble off in front. Just as he rises and rubs his head, he turns to see the bus barreling at him, running him over as the woman smirks. She then felt a rumble and started to slow down, making the group get out to see some spikes in the deflated right back tire.
The hunter got up and turned in their direction, glaring at them behind his mask as Luna noticed a nearby cave. "Quick! In there!" The humans make a break for it as Six-Six tries to follow, only to feel a rumble as he turns to something heading for him from the ground. Just then, the 1st bounty hunter burst out of the dirt. "Remember me?!" Krabb calls out as he descends on him.
The humans catch their breaths as they lean against a corner wall. Ben peeks out to see no hunters. "Okay, I think we lost them." Suddenly, the wall near them exploded to reveal Krabb. "Doesn't this guy ever quit?!" Twilight exclaims. Krabb stomps towards them. "Enough! The Omnitrix! Give it to me!" Luna grabs a nearby rock and chucks it at him, only for him to smash it with a mere backhand. They all then run down another corridor as the hunter pursues them. As they turn left, Ben taps at the watch, trying to get to work. "Come on! Work!"
They kept running, only screeching to stop as they arrived at a large chasm in a huge chamber of the caves. "Now what?!" Luna looked left and right and saw a mine cart that went across the chasm. "We take a ride!" They all ran towards it as Krabb followed them. The kid and teen get in as the adult pushes the lever, making it go as she quickly hops on. They look back to see Krabb watching them. "Humans: Always dim and stubborn." Krabb was about to cut the cable, only to get tackled by Six-Six from out of nowhere. Six-Six blasts him and flies after the humans.
They all duck as the alien fires at them. "We got company, closing in at 6'o clock!" Twilight points out as Ben keeps tapping the watch. "We need a plan!" Luna spoke out, just as the Omnitrix glowed green with a beep. "YES! Who needs a plan when you got the Omnitrix!?" The boy stands up in the middle of the cart and slaps down the core, engulfing in a flash of green light as Luna cries out. "NO! BEN! This is what they want!"
Shock Rock flexed his arms as he made an energy Sai, leaping onto Six-Six as they tussled down into the dark abyss. "BEN!" The girls were worried sick as they looked down. They then both flew up, fighting one another as they crashed into a wall on the other side. Shock Rock fell on top of the hunter as the cart went passed them into a tunnel. "Ben! Come on!" Twilight cries out.
The alien stands up and calls back. "I'll catch up with you 2! I got to make some dents in this walking soda machine first!" But just then, Krabb grabs him from behind and tosses him into another wall, falling onto his stomach. As Krabb and Six-Six approach him, Shock Rock stands up and fires a blast of energy at them, blowing them back as they crash into some rocks.
But as Shock Rock approaches them, Krabb surprises him with a sucker punch from his claw as Six-Six bombards him with missiles, blowing Shock Rock into a wall as he stood up and breaths, trying to form something, only for Krabb to grab his head and chucks him over as Six-Six delivers a flying karate kick that sends the alien on his chest, barely holding on. Six-Six was approaching when Krabb got in front and stopped him. "Back off! That reward is as good as mine!" Six-Six snaps back at Krabb as he gets upset and cries out. "You don't have to get personal; you know!"
Just then, something lands near their feet, making them look down to see an orb. It then releases some grey smoke as they slump into unconsciousness as Khyber appears from the shadows. He glances to the side to see Shock Rock and gets out a disc which unfolds into a hoverboard and gets on it, grabbing the hero as they both fly down the tunnel.
They exit out of the caves into an empty mining site on the other side of the caves. Khyber stops and tosses Shock Rock onto the ground as he studies the alien hero in front of him. Shock Rock recovers from the attacks and glares up at the hunter before him as Khyber states with crossed arms. "Billions of beings on this planet and the Omnitrix winds up on the wrist of a foolish youth." "Look, I told your buddies that I can't get it off, no matter what! I tried." Shock Rock exclaims as he stands up and faces off against the hunter.
Khyber responds as he explains while turning his back to him. "Of course, you can't! The Omnitrix's power utilizes the thousands of alien DNA samples stored in it to transform its usher and manipulate his or her DNA to match that of the chosen form, thus, binding to the host on a genetic level!" He is unaware of Shock Rock making a fist as he charges at him. "You can't remove it as simple as taking off a hat."
The hunter dodges and smacks Shock Rock back as he judges. "Your choice of transformations focuses on pure power and brute strength, with no regrade of planning. Do you ever stop and think about your actions?" "Hey! I kicked tons of bad guy butt before!" "Such as the battle in the mine?" "It was 2 against 1!" Shock Rock argues as he goes to punch him, but Khyber keeps blocking, dodging, and knocking him back as he lectures as Shock Rock forms his hands into spiked balls and tries to hit him. "You were mere moments from losing both your life and the Omnitrix! Victory should have been swift and effortless. But, instead, you bumble around like a fool!"
Shock Rock lands on his back and looks up as Khyber towers over him. "It's not a toy for some game of your amusement! It's the most powerful device in the galaxy! Possibly the Universe itself! The key component in an epic war between good and evil." The alien stands up as he glares at the hunter. "Oh yeah! Well, which side are you on?" "You're still alive, aren't you?" "You're a good guy?" Shock Rock questions Khyber's statement. "My mission is retrieving the Omnitrix at any cost! Since it's attached to you; I'll bring you back for the removal." Shock Rock knocks Khyber's claw away as he puts his foot down. "Oh, no! I'm not going nowhere!" "You don't have a choice."
"It is now!" Shock Rock tackles Khyber, pinning him to the ground. But the hunter manages to kick him off as he stands up and brushes his shoulder. "It's very disturbing that you know little about this form's strengths and weaknesses. You barely scratch the surface of what a Fulmini can truly do!" Shock Rock stands up again as he responds. "Oh, yeah! What makes you such an expert, pal!?"
Khyber's helmet retracts into his suit, revealing a head covered by a black suit as well, revealing the face. It is turquoise with a large lower jaw. His jaw has teeth fused with his lips and has gills on his cheeks as well as shrunken red eyes.
Shock Rock widens his eyes in surprise at the alien's face. "You… You look like a goblin! But how do you know about Shock Rock?" "WRONG! I am a great warrior and proud huntsman! The reason I know about your kind is that I've met them before! And as of right now, if they were here, they would say you would be a disgrace to their species." Khyber points at the hero, just as the symbol beeped. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH
"We have wasted enough time!" The alien picks Ben up by his shirt as he protests. "HEY! Let me go!" Khyber then whistles with his gills, making the giant rock crab creature move towards him out of a corner of a building. But just then, an energy net came out of nowhere and zapped and entangled the beast, making it groan in pain as the 2 turned towards their left.
Krabb walks in, holding his discarded hoverboard in his hand as his claw is still smoking from when he fired the energy net. "Looking for this?" He gestures to the hoverboard. "Both of you aren't getting off the planet with the Omnitrix! And just to be sure..." Six-Six follows up, holding Twilight and Luna by their wrists behind their backs as the both of them struggle. "Let us go!" "Release us!" Ben stares in shock at seeing the others captured and held hostage. "See, we both decided to work together! And split the reward and you in half!" Krabb explains as he snaps his pincher to prove his point as Ben gets scared.
The 2 groups stare off at one another, waiting for someone to make a move. Krabb opens fire as Khyber throws down a smoke bomb, engulfing the 2 as they run into the foreman's office while the building is being pelted by laser fire. Khyber holds onto Ben as he rolls in, hiding behind a turned-over desk as he unloads his sniper blaster. Krabb keeps firing as Six-Six says something to him and the golden hunter snaps back. "Don't blow a gasket, Metal mouth! I know what I'm doing!"
"What are you doing?! We have to save them!" Ben points outside, wanting to rescue Twilight and his aunt. But Khyber brushes it off as he grabs the boy by his shirt and lifts him to eye level. "Don't be foolish! Keeping the Omnitrix safe is the main objective! The females are not our concern!"
"No way! That's my friend and family they have!" The huntsman explains as he drops the kid. "You cannot save them! You would be overpowered and captured in moments. Our only chance is to retrieve my old friend and hoverboard, so we can leave the planet! You stay put!" Khyber turns and aims through his scope, firing a beam of energy that knocks Six-Six away while releasing the prisoners. Just then, he leaps out as well and fires a barrage of lasers that nails Krabb, knocking him back as well.
The 3 hunters battled it out in a free-for-all as Celestia, Twilight and Ben watched from different hiding spots. Khyber even manages to recover his board and flies around, avoiding lasers as he leaps off and smashes down Six-Six, but the bounty hunter responds by kicking him off, only for Khyber to leap in and knock him away with a few punches and then a roundhouse kick. Krabb tries to grab him, by Khyber grabs his claw and judo flips Krabb over his shoulder, sending him sliding in front of Ben, who looks at the watch, just for it to flash green as he grins out.
"All right! Hero time!" Krabb got up and saw Ben as the boy went inside. He looks back to see the other 2 hunters duking it out. The cyborg hunter moves inside the office, looking around as Ben hides behind the turned-over desk. He pushes the button as the Four Arms icon shows up. But before he could slam on it, his eyes widened in remembering some words from earlier as he recalled the event that involved them as well. "Remember to think out there, Ben! Pure power isn't going to solve all your problems!" "And you need to learn that raw force doesn't grant you victory, every time!" "Your choice of transformations focuses on pure power and brute strength, with no regrade of planning. Do you ever stop and think about your actions?"
Ben realizes that so far, using his heavy hitters isn't getting him anywhere! So, he shouldn't go with brawn, but with brains, as he twists the dial! FLASH Krabb smashes the table, only to find nothing behind there. Unbeknownst to him, Gray Matter was watching from the rafters, running along the ceiling as Krabb looked for him.
Suddenly, Krabb felt something stuck to the back of his head as he struggled to get it off him. "Hey! Get off, you little…" Grey Matter climbs down to the neck and rummages through the wires. "There must be a nerve cluster around here." He then pulls on some wires, snapping them off as Krabb stumbles out and starts sparking as he thrashes around. The small alien then pulls more wires, making Krabb freeze up and fall on his back.
"One down." Grey Matter hops off and runs towards the other, only to stop and gasp at seeing Six-Six towering over Khyber in a crater. The bounty hunter saw Grey Matter and aimed his rocket launcher at him. "NO!" Luna grabs onto Six-Six and wrestles him. "BEN! RUN!" The hunter throws her off and grabs her. "NO!" Twilight cries out as Grey Matter dashes at him.
Just as Six-Six activates his saw, Grey Matter lands on his shoulder, making him turn. "Guess who?" The tech hunter stumbles around as Khyber stands up and sees him. "I thought I told you to stay put!" "I wonder what happens when I do this?" Grey Matter snaps some wires on his jetpack, making him fly out of control. Khyber was able to free himself and his pet as Six-Six smashed into an excavator, sending it leaning on its side. Just as Six-Six slides to a stop in front next to Krabb, Grey Matter notices the falling machine as it was the shovel part is about to land on the hunters. The small alien leaps out of the way as Krabb looks up and mumbles out. "I hate this planet." CRASH
"Well, that's going to give them a big headache. Don't you think?" Grey Matter comments as Khyber responds to the boy. "Pretty clever, for a human." The frog alien smiles as Khyber uses a strange cube device at the defeated hunters, sucking them inside. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH
He turns towards the group. "I'll be on my way. Besides, I need to find a new bounty to try and make up for the reward for the Omnitrix." Khyber responds to the trio. "What about the watch?" Ben questions about the Omnitrix as Khyber responds. "It's in good hands. Here. This was from a friendly rival of mine, but it doesn't fit me." Khyber then holds out his hoverboard to Ben as the boy smiles. "This may be some use in the meantime."
Ben grins at his new alien toy, always wanting a hoverboard since he saw one in the comics. "AWESOME! Wait! Don't you need this to leave Earth?" Ben questions as Khyber simply responds. "Selective disinformation." Ben turns towards Twilight, who translates. "It means he lied. By the way, who gave you this board, if it was someone else's?" "A Petrosapien named Tetrax. You might meet him someday." Khyber then walks away and glances at Ben. "Till we meet again, child." He gave a small smile as his helmet forms on his head teleports as well.
"How come you get all the amazing alien tech while I'm the sci-fi fan?!" "Fits my style! Now, come on!" Ben grins at Twilight, activates his new board, and hops on. "I'll give you guys a lift!" Luna and Twilight look at each other and smile. And pretty soon, they were riding back to Canterlot City on Ben's new hoverboard.
A flaming comet exits Earth and blasts off into space, while being observed by Vilgax's holo-screen. "Betrayed..." "Sensors indicated that the Omnitrix is not with any of the mercenaries." The drone reports as Vilgax glares. "It seems the creature that possesses the Omnitrix. 'GASP' Is cleaver as he is fierce! 'GASP' But I shall not be denied!"
