A/N: Can you believe we've got one chapter left after this. After chapter 20, this'll be put on hold so i can update other books. I honestly wanna start season 3, but I can't. It's okay tho, cuz season 3 will be epic, I guarantee it. Btw i didn't mention this, but i mapped out the entire series from og to ua. Mixing the three shows entirely, but you'll see tht be encouraged in season 3. New aliens incoming next season. Hehe.
Season 1: It started with 10
Season 2: It was 4
Season 3: It will be 7
Will I do Ghostfreaked out? Hell yeah, that's definitely happening. Actually the episode is early season 4, I know because it's before the Negative Ten episode.
Will Kevin turn good in Back With A Vengeance? No, he'll be annoyed that Ben escaped, but he won't turn good and start traveling with the Tennyson's till a certain incident in season 3.
Will the Tennyson family continue to grow member wise? Yes they will, I have very big plans for this book, and I'm aiming to connect everything. It's abit difficult to explain, but once we start seasons 5-7 (which is dubbed my Ultimate Alien Force Saga) then you'll understand. The saga we're currently in is dubbed the Classic Saga which will conclude season's 1-4.
Will Nick Fury meet Ben? Not yet, but he's aware of his existence (and is currently monitering him), but won't meet him till the beginning or the end of Season 3. Won't spoil anymore other than that enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 19: Dr. Animo & The Mutant Ray
In the Murky Swamps of Florida, the Rust Bucket makes a screeching stop. Ben comes out first with a screwdriver and sits on the back of the RV, first he starts cycling through his playlist and counts, "Fourteen aliens. I wonder how many, I could acquire. If I could hack it." Ben grins mischievously before picking up the screwdriver and starts fiddling with the Omnitrix.
Max, Gwen, and Hope soon climb out the RV, "Ah, just in time for Gator-Fest." Max sighs and smells the air in content.
"What's Gator-Fest?" Hope asks curiously.
"It's an alligator festival, where various alligators appear." Max explains. Hope nods absentmindedly still abit confused on why people where celebrating alligators.
Gwen shivers in disgust by the foggy, dark, and dreary environment, "Grandpa, this is probably the worst place you've taken us."
"Nonsense, once you've celebrated Gator-Fest, you'll be begging me to take you again." Max remarks.
Gwen laughs nervously, "Doubt it." Max laughs before heading back into the RV. When she notices Ben is gone, "Hey Hope, where's Ben?"
Hope raises an eyebrow, "I don't know." She shrugs before they hear a noise followed by grunts and curses. Gwen and Hope look at each other before following the noises to find Ben attempting to hack the Omnitrix.
"What are you doing?" Gwen asked incredulously.
Ben didn't even gaze upwards, "Trying to hack the Omnitrix." He replied without a shred of hesitation.
"Ben, I don't think that's such a good idea." Hope remarks.
Ben gazed at the two sorceresses, "I know it's not a good idea, but it's practically the only idea that comes to mind. I have absolutely no idea how it works, I don't know any of it's command codes, or it's functions. I was able to figure out how to switch aliens without reverting back to normal, but it drains the watch faster. I know whenever it glows yellow, it's another alien DNA sample added to the playlist. Maybe if I try to hack it, I'll acquire more aliens or finally be able to remove the time out function, because usually I'll stay an alien for ten to atleast fifteen minutes, sometimes three minutes, or the most was fourty and that was when we went head to head with Dr. Freak-a-Zoid." He reasoned which did make alot of sense considering the most important times he timed out in dire situations.
Hope looked at Gwen, "Dr. Freak-a-Zoid?"
"Dr. Animo." Both Ben and Gwen responded.
"It was the first villain, Ben defeated when he first acquired the Omnitrix two months ago." Gwen added.
"Oh, I saw that on the news. Wait, that was you!" Hope yelled.
Ben's gaze fell, he remembered that day all too well, "Yeah, it was my first brush with death. That mutated crocodile was close to taking my head off if it weren't for Grandpa Max."
"He doesn't like talking about it, he still blames himself for not coming at them with the intent to kill." Gwen whispered as Hope's expression fell.
"I'm sorry." Hope says which Ben brushes off.
"Not your fault, Hope, it was mine. Anyway, if I'm able to hack it who knows what function I'll unlock." Ben replied curtly as he went back to hacking it.
"Still think this is a dangerous idea, but I understand how you feel, Ben." Gwen answers, but Ben shrugs off her concern and her warning when Max stands behind them.
"Gwen's right Ben, you shouldn't be trying to hack it." Max says sternly which makes Ben freeze in his attempts, "Be glad you even have it."
Ben sighs before placing the screwdriver down, "You're right, grandpa."
"Good, promise me, you won't try to hack it anymore." Max narrows his eyes, as Ben stuffs his hand into his pocket.
"I promise." Ben answers stiffly.
"Good." Max nods his head happily before walking back into the RV when the girls look back at Ben who took his hand out his pocket.
Gwen and Hope's eyes widen when they see Ben smirking and look down at his hand. He had his fingers crossed, "Ben, did you just lie to Max?"
"Lie is such an ugly word. I call it stretching the truth. Plus he's lied to us, our whole lives." Ben remarks before he goes back to hacking the Omnitrix.
"Ben, I'm not gonna sit here and watch as you attempt to kill yourself. I'm going back inside." Gwen walked off angry at her cousin.
Ben rolled his eyes before he settled them on Hope, "What about you?"
"Ben, I trust your judgement more than anything, but Gwen and Max are right. Maybe you shouldn't be trying to hack it." Hope answers honestly and walks back into the RV.
Ben sighed before running a hand through his hair, "There right, I'm not some ten year old." He chuckled before gazing at the Omnitrix, his hesitation increasing as he gazed at it, "Okay, one more time." He replies before grabbing the screwdriver and prying at the device.
When he wedges the flathead into the faceplate and pulls it right off, although its face starts to rotate in different directions and sparks fly out. A blinding green light comes out of the Omnitrix. Ben gets launched into a tree and slides down the tree to gaze at the Omnitrix going haywire. He rubs his back in pain, before hearing the RV door fly open. Max, Gwen, and Hope charge out to see Ben leaning against a tree.
"Ben, are you okay? What happened?" Max asks worriedly.
"What do you mean?" Ben's gaze shifts to the Omnitrix that stopped sparking.
"Considering we saw a huge flash of green and your all the way over there, something must have happened." Gwen answers.
"Uh, there was a bolt of lightning and it almost hit me." Ben quickly lied when the three gazed into the sky not seeing a single cloud.
"Lightning?" Hope asks suspiciously.
"There's not a cloud up there." Gwen retorts.
The trio gaze at Ben suspiciously as he casually hides his left arm from them, "You weren't trying to hack the Omnitrix again, were you, Ben?" Max asks questioningly.
"What-? No! Of course not." Ben denies rather quickly, but the three gaze at him, still suspicious of what he could be hiding or that flash of green that occured.
Max rubs his head before sighing, "Whatever it was, we'll talk about it in the morning, let's all head to bed." The three teenagers nod in agreement. Max walks into the RV, while Gwen and Hope gaze back to Ben.
"You coming?" Gwen asks, Ben hesitantly nods after watching the two girls walk back inside.
He quickly rushes over to the Omnitrix's faceplate then gazing back to the device clamped to his wrist. The dial's hourglass was twisted into small miniature hourglass. He held the grey faceplate in his hand, "Oh man, I'm so grounded." He mutters before heading inside the RV.
Unbeknownst to the teenager dark green vined tendrils sprouted upwards where the Omnitrix's faceplate landed.
The next morning, Ben quickly jumps out of bed quietly. He gazes to the two sleeping females in the bottom bunk. His gaze soon shifts over to the old man sleeping in a bed where the booth should be. He quickly jumps into the bathroom, showering rather quickly, and hoping to avoid his family for the time being.
He puts on some underwear, then his socks, a pair of dark blue jeans, black t-shirt, and his signature green #10 jacket. He put his converses on before sneaking out the bathroom. He glanced over to the bed, Max was still sleeping in. He then gazed over to the shared bunk of Hope and Gwen and found them still asleep.
Before he even realized it, he tiptoed out the RV, chewing a piece of bubblegum. He glances back to the RV, before grabbing the stick of gum and looping it around the Omnitrix's dial. He pulled the faceplate from his pocket before twisting it onto the chewed up gum, "This has to be one of the most stupidest ideas, I've ever had." He mumbled to himself, 'I feel like a ten year old trying not to get caught breaking something he wasn't supposed too.'
"I don't know, you've had some dumb ideas before." A familiar feminine voice retorts. Ben feels his blood run ice cold as the figure taps him on his shoulder, "Everything alright, Ben?"
"Uh, yeah, sorry just spooked me." Ben turned to his cousin who was already dressed.
"Huh, I doubt that." She chuckled before gazing at the Omnitrix, "What are you doing to the Omnitrix? You weren't trying to hack it, again, were you?"
Ben felt sweat forming on the back of his neck, "What? No, besides I promised grandpa, I wouldn't."
"Okay there's two things wrong with that sentence, Ben." Gwen replied, "First, you had your fingers crossed when you made the promise and went right back to trying to hack it. And Second, since when do you listen to grandpa?"
'Damn.' Ben thought as he avoided eye contact, rubbing his neck sheepishly, "Since now?" It sounded more like a question instead of an answer.
Gwen narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
"Uh, I mean, since always." He laughed weakly, hoping to change the conversation's topic. When he notices the Gator-Fest Festival happening nearby, "Hey, looks like they started Gator-Fest, let's go see if Hope and grandpa are awake and check it out."
Gwen eyes him suspiciously before shrugging off her concern, "Alright, Hope should already be awake. Let's go see if, grandpa is." She replied before walking back to the RV.
Ben sighed in relief as he gazed down at his broken Omnitrix, "Grandpa Max is gonna kill me." He muttered softly before heading back inside the motorhome. Unbeknownst to the teenager, a pair of large red eyes appeared from the dirty swamp water.
After ten minutes, the quartet was walking the fairgrounds of Gator-Fest. There were games selling various sized animals, food, novelties items, and collectibles. Which were all alligator or crocodile themed.
Over by the docks, were two men fishing when a man picks up strange worms. They were wrapped in tendrils with a small venus flytrap at the front with four yellow eyes, squirming. The man gazed at freshly caught worms which seemed to be mutated from WildVine's DNA.
As they were passing by multiple games, Ben soon realized Hope had stopped. He turned around to see Hope gazing intently at a stuffed animal. Max and Gwen smiled knowing before walking off ahead to go see the eggs hatching. Ben walked beside Hope to see her gazing at large stuffed animal of an alligator.
"It's so cute. Have you ever seen anything cuter!" She shrieked, but Ben was looking at the stuffed animals he was looking at Hope.
"Yes, I have." He replied, Hope gazed over to see him staring at her which caused her to blush, "Uh, I mean, I'll win for you." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar.
The game host gave him three balls to knock down the glass bottles, 'Knowing this type of game. It's probably rigged.' Ben thought before tossing the ball upwards and soon launching it at the bottles. The bottles soon fell from his strike, 'Huh, it's not rigged.'. He soon launched the next two balls before hearing a bell ring.
"Congratulations on your win." The host replied before handing him a large stuffed animal. Ben and Hope soon walked away from the stand as he handed it to her.
Hope smiled brightly as she hugged the alligator, "Thank you, Ben, you're so sweet." She blushed lightly as Ben shrugged it off.
"It was nothing, Hope." He smiled, but she shook her head.
"I need to give you something since you won this for me."
"You don't have too or need too. I did it, because you deserve to be happy." He smiled widely as his hand lightly brushed against her hand, but she didn't pull away instead wrapped her hand in his, intertwining there fingers.
"I do, you're one of my best friends, Ben." She replied before shyly looking away, "Why don't you close your eyes."
Ben stopped walking raising his eyebrows curiosity, "What for?" Hope stopped in her tracks before him.
"You'll understand soon, close your eyes."
Ben shrugged his shoulders before closing his eyes, Hope smiled as she caressed his face softly, "Hope?" Before he could ask what she was doing she started leaning into the boy, her target: his lips. As soon as she invaded his personal space, and were an inch from a kiss, the ground beneath them started shaking violently throwing the two onto the ground.
Ben landed on the ground with Hope landing ontop of him, "Was this apart of the surprise?" He questioned as she blushed furiously when the ground shook again. The two looked over to see the baby alligators running from the swamp.
"What's happening?" Hope asked in wonder, when a large mutated frog landed ontop of the murky ground. With a man riding ontop of him.
Ben and Hope's eyes widened when they caught sight of the mutated frog and immediately scrambled to their feet, "Animo." Ben muttered darkly.
"IT IS I, DR. ANIMO, HERE TO EXACT MY REVENGE ON YOU, BEN TENNYSON!" Animo screamed, Ben placed himself inbetween Hope and the large mutated frog. Max and Gwen raced over immediately to catch sight of Animo glaring at Ben and Hope.
"I don't think you'll be exacting anything. Why don't you chew on a fist or four!" He immediately activated the dysfunctional Omnitrix, "IT'S HERO TIME!" He slammed his hand onto the faceplate which was sparking dangerously before becoming engulfed in an emerald light.
Ben felt himself deevolving when fur started growing from his arms. Said arms split into four sets with three black claws on each hand. He wore a black and white armored jumpsuit with armor shoulderpads. He grew a cone shaped head as he grew an additional four sets of eyes. His teeth pointed out as fangs parted his lips, black lines raced across his six eyes and fanged mouth. Three large dorsel fins grew from his back. His feet stood on black circular wheels with three clawed toes on both feet. A small blue prehensile tail grew out from his back side. With the Omnitrix badge appearing in the middle of his chest.
The emerald light soon died down, shocking everyone at the fused aliens appearance. Hope, Max, and Gwen gazed in shock at the fusion between SpiderMonkey and XLR8. The fused alien felt weird, he had six sets of eyes, he felt his heightened senses doubled compared to last time, and a loud ringing was coming from inside his head.
Ben soon gazed at himself in horror at the sudden fusion, "WHAT THE HELL?!" He shouted. Animo roared in laughter.
"You think you can beat me with that?!" He laughed again.
"What's wrong with Ben? Why is he fused with two different aliens?" Gwen asked fearfully.
"No idea, but hopefully, he didn't attempt to hack it again." Max replies sternly.
"ATTACK MY PRECIOUS!" Animo yelled as the mutant frogs tongue shot outwards at the Arachniceleran.
A familiar tingling sensation echoed out inside his head, as the frogs tongue slowed down tremendously. Ben honestly didn't know if it was his spider sense reacting or if it was his speed reacting to the attack. He watched as it got closer and closer, his spider sense blaring harder in his head. His black and blue shield visor slid over his face, before he raced off, grabbing hold of Hope and her stuffed animal in his four arms. He darted away from the tongue and raced over to where he heard Gwen and Max's voice coming from.
"Ben, what's going on? Why do you look like that?" Hope asked as he put her down. His visor slid upwards revealing his dinosaur and Arachnichimp like features.
"I don't know." He screeched loudly, "Something must be wrong with the watch." He reasoned before another tingling sensation echoed inside his head. Before he could even react, his body moved on instinct. His visor slid over his face, before grabbing hold of Hope, Gwen, and Max and darting out the way of the tongue.
He darted around the fairgrounds as the tongue launched after his speeding form. XLRMonkey darted between the tongue attacks. He raced behind a game stand and placed the trio down.
"I'll draw his attention towards me, while you guys cover fire while I do." The fused alien replied as Gwen and Hope nodded as his visor slid over his face and he was gone in blink of an eye.
"Is it just me or is he insanely faster than before?" Hope questioned before the two Tennyson's members shrugged.
The trio gazed onto the swampy muddy field, usually it'll be hard for XLR8 to moving around this kind of terrain, but thanks to SpiderMonkey's super strength pushing him to move faster he felt lighter on his feet.
Animo was getting irritated from not being able to touch the speeding Arachniceleran, "Hold still, you little cretin!" Animo yelled.
"Missed me, missed me, now you gotta kiss me!" XLRMonkey taunted distracting the psychotic animal doctor.
Animo was fuming, but didn't notice the mana discs that hit him in the chest. The crazed doctor collided onto the muddy ground, "What was that?!" The mutated frog continued attacking XLRMonkey when he slowed down in front of him, his visor sliding upwards with a stupid grin on his face resembleing a howler monkey.
"You didn't see that coming?" He mocked before racing off, but the dial on his badge fell off.
Animo was fuming with anger as he watched the dinosaur and spidermonkey hybrid launch a fury of attacks into the mutated monster, "NO!"
'Not only did my reaction time get faster, I also got SpiderMonkey's strength!' He thought as he raced around the mutated frog.
Gwen dressed in her Lucky Girl costume soon leaped into the fray, "TEMPESTUS!" She shouted before the murky swamp water started levitating and soon colliding with the giant frog knocking it over.
"THANATIS ICATIS EXODUS!" Hope recited as large thunderclouds started rolling in when the winds started picking up. Objects started being lifted into the sky when the winds got even harsher to the point it started swirling into a tornado.
XLRMonkey saw the tornado heading for them, as quickly as he could he scooped up both Lucky Girl and Charmcaster before moving them both out the way of the raging windstorm. The giant frog tried to stand it's ground when it was carted off by the winds. Leaving a struggling Dr. Animo holding onto a stand for dear life.
When the tornado stopped, Animo collided with the ground as his mutated partner was defeated and carted off to who knows where. Then he saw something flash brightly, it was a round grey dial, he raised an eyebrow at the object, before seeing a small hermit crab stand on the metallic piece and the next part shocked him as in an emerald flash the hermit crab, grew a magenta clawed arm, small pink crystals littered its back, with three of it's legs turning red.
He watched the mutated hermit crab scurry off before setting his sights on his newest piece of equipment. He smiled wickedly before dashing for the piece and making a run for it.
XLRMonkey gazed at the two girls before his visor slid upwards, "You two okay?" He asked concerned.
"Yeah, thanks for the heads up, Hope." Gwen remarked.
"Sorry, haven't used that spell in awhile." Hope smiled sheepishly before gazing around, "Hey, where'd Animo go?" The sudden question left both Lucky Girl and XLRMonkey confused and gazing around in search of the crazed animal psychopath.
"He couldn't have gotten far, I'll sweep the area for him." He replied when the Omnitrix started flashing red. The trio watched as he reverted back to normal in a flash of red light, "So much for that plan." Ben retorted gazing at his faceplateless Omnitrix.
Hope and Lucky Girl who lifted up her mask gazed at his broken device, "Ben, what did you do to the Omnitrix?!" Hope asked incredulously.
"What do you mean, it was like this when I found it." Ben replied nervously as the two girls narrowed there eyes at him.
"Benjamin Kirby Tennyson, you better come clean or else I'm telling, grandpa." Gwen glared darkly which made the boy in question gulp loudly.
"I...I tried hac-hacking it again." He muttered which sent the two looking at him in shock, "I used the screwdriver and popped the faceplate off. And now it's gone."
"You did what?!" Max yells angrily. Ben stiffens when he hears his grandpa's voice, "Not only did you lie to me, but you lost the piece to the Omnitrix?!"
Ben's shoulders drooped sadly, "I'm sorry, grandpa. I should have listened."
"You're gonna be sorry after we get the part back. Now where was the last place you had it on?" He said which made Ben think on where it could be.
"I was moving quite fast, so no idea." He answered.
"Hey, Animo escaped, do you think he found the faceplate and made off with it?" Gwen asked curiously.
"Perhaps, but he'd have to see the piece in action to escape with it." Max answered before something hit Ben in the foot.
"OW!" He looked down at his pants to see a burn wound with his pants smoking, "What the hell?" He then saw a small hermit crab with Chromastone's DNA. His eyes widened when he was blasted in the leg again.
"That answers Gwen's question, but where do you think he went?" Hope remarked as Ben trapped the little bastard in a cup.
"You guys talking about that crazed lunatic? Who raced off screaming he'll have his revenge?" A man asked as Gwen quickly pulled her mask down to avoid having her identity exposed.
"Yes, would you happen to know where he is?" Max asked.
"Of course, he's up at the old abandoned observatory in the heart of the swamp." He pointed behind him, "Just head south and you should be able to find it."
"Thank so much." Max shook his hand.
"No problem, its the least I could do with you folks fighting off that giant frog." He smiled, "Hell, you can use my airboat."
The Tennyson's soon thanked the man named Larry before climbing into his boat and taking off south of the swamp, their destination, the observatory where Animo was hiding.
At the abandoned observatory, lied a massive machine that Animo spent weeks building. He places the Omnitrix's faceplate into the device, "Hopefully this works." He mutters to himself.
He soon aims the device at a bat, that was sleeping above him, "And I just found the perfect test subject." He activates the giant machine before blasting the small winged creature.
He watched as in a flash of red the bat mutate. It screamed in agony as it seemed to grow bigger, wines were wrapped completely around it's body, with its wings being made from literal flames. It's face was morphed into a fiery, redish orange color. Growing two large fangs.
Animo grinned as the mutation worked, "With this dial, I'll have an army of mutated alien animals!" He laughed loudly before he saw another bat and activated his machine again.
This bat grew, but it's color was white resembling a containment suit, it's fanged mouth was different shades of red. It's narrow eyes turned red, with a pair of headphones ontop of it's head. It's wings extended outwards with red cassette tapes on its fanged feet. It screamed loudly which made Animo cover his ears from it's sonic scream.
Animo grinned, "Yes. Yes! YES!" He soon heard a loud rumbling noise and gazed over to see his large companion return. He soon aimed the device at the large mutated frog, "Let's get you up to speed." He activated the device before watching the beam collide with the frog.
Different parts of his body started hardening, from a pale green color to a magenta color. Four pink crystals grew from its back as its front left leg and back left leg were morphed into a magenta crystallized limbs. Animo grinned wickedly, "MY ARMY SHALL BE LEGENDARY!" He laughed maniacally into the abandoned observatory.
The Tennyson quartet are riding through the swamp, Max was in the back driving the airboat, with Gwen and Hope sitting side by side, and Ben infront of them. Ben hadn't said a word since they left the festival and Hope was worried about him.
"Go ahead Gwen..." He said softly gaining the crew's attention.
Gwen gazed at him in confusion, "What? What are you talking about?"
"Give me the big, 'I told you so' line." He replied when Hope and Gwen exchanged shocked and sad glances with each other. When they were kids, and Ben did something wrong which was everything Gwen would mock hin with those stupid four words, 'I told you so.'
"Ben, I'm not gonna do that. You've learned your lesson right?" She said softly as she watched him nod his head, "And you're not gonna attempt to hack it again are you?"
Ben had to think about it, hacking it was his best bet, but this was next level stupidity. He crossed his fingers again, "No, especially after this shit show." He answered sincerely.
"Then no need for me to say that line." She smiled which made Ben smile on the inside of course.
"Thanks Gwen." He smiled at her.
As they drove through the swamp, they heard a loud ear shattering roar. The heroes shielded there ears in pain from the sudden sonic scream, "What was that?!" Hope asked rubbing her ears.
"It was Echo Echo's sonic scream. Looks like Animo's been busy." Ben answered gazing into the sky.
"This can't be good, if he's using the Omnitrix's faceplate to mutate animals into aliens he'll create an entire army based off of Ben's playlist." Max said in horror.
"That's the least of our worries." Ben says in sternly.
"Ben, what do you mean by that?" Hope asked not liking the tone in his voice, he turned towards them his jaw clenched and emerald eyes hardened.
"Animo won't have just an army, he'll have access to Alien X, if he has a mutated animal under his control already with any body part resembling him, it's over. We're not winning even if I turn into Alien X myself, but that's a stretch considering the Omnitrix is busted and fusing my aliens together. I don't know who'd he be fused with and what combinded abilities the two would have." Ben answers scaring them when Max spoke up.
"Ben, what can Alien X do that has you so scared?" Ben didn't even look at them before turning to the front of the boat. Gwen and Hope were now worried on how silent he was until he finally spoke up.
"Anything." He mutters which makes the trio pale, "We need to get that faceplate back before Animo decides that conquering Earth is just childs play to what he could really have."
The three didn't even reply as they Max increased the airboats speed when two large silhouettes started flying towards them. The group squinted at the approaching figures to see two large mutated bats one resembling Swampfire and the other Echo Echo.
"Shit. COVER YOUR EARS!" Ben screamed before the Echobat swooped down letting out an ear shattering sonic scream. When the SwampBat blasted flames from it's mouth.
Max swerved dodging the constant streams of flames. The attacks landed inside the swamps murky water. Gwen and Hope glared at the two alien bats before muttering different spells under there breath.
"AWAKATELO FOLIGETO!" Hope yelled before vines shot out from the trees nearby grabbing hold of the Echobat who soon dished out another sonic scream causing everyone to cover there ears. When Hope lifted her hand again as the vines pulled the mutated creature into the forest and pinned it to the tree wrapping around its large wings, legs, body, and most importantly its mouth.
"TEMPESTUS IMPAETUS!" Gwen yelled before summoning a whitish lightning bolt and hurling at the mutation of Swampfire when the Swampbat let out a might blast of fire. The two attacks soon collided in a massive explosion.
"Did you get it?" Ben asked curiously gazing at his cousin.
"I hope so." Gwen replied when the mutation roared before soaring through the black plumes of smoke breathing streams of fire at them.
"Guess not." Hope replied as Max did his best to navigate them away from the streaming flames which collided with the water around them.
"If it's fire you wanna play with then I'll give you a nice cold ice sandwich." Ben quipped before activating the malfunctioning Omnitrix.
"Ben, I don't think that's a good idea." Max replies cautiously.
"Hope and Gwen won't be able to beat it without me. I have to try!" He argued before scrolling through his playlist and landing on Big Chill before slamming his hand onto the faceplate becoming engulfed in an emerald light.
Ben felt his body hardening into magenta colored crystals. His left arm turned crimson red while the other turned a dark shade of blue with armor plating covering his shoulder. He had four claws on his right arm while his left had four fingers crystallized. His legs morphed into magneta crystallized legs with two toes and a toe on the back of his foot with crystal shards on both feet. His face hardened before a third eye opened on his forehead, he grew a lone crystal ontop of his head. Two large pink crystals grew out of his back with two smaller ones underneath. When a dark blue cloak wrapped around his body tightly, it had familiar patterns scattered around it. The Omnitrix badge was placed in the middle of his chest underneath the cloak.
The trio gazed in wonder when Gwen decided to speak up, "Chromastone and Big Chill? That's an interesting combination."
The Crystalfriggian glanced at his hands, his left arm was from Chromastone while the other came from Big Chill. He had another eye on his forehead when the Swampbat came flying at him, spitting flames from it's mouth. Chroma-Chill raised his right arm as ice blasted from the palm of his hand colliding with the breath attack.
"Whoa." The three muttered when Chroma-Chill's left hand started glowing dangerously and soon blasted the large mutation backwards. The Swampbat roared in pain.
"Chroma-Chill, I like it." He replied as the cloak unwrapped itself from his body taking the form of moth wings and antenna's. The Crystalfriggian launched into the air slamming into the mutation before punching it repeatedly. He slammed his foot into the vine tendrilled mouth. He gazed over to his family in the airboat, "Go ahead and stop Animo, I'll be right behind you!" He ordered.
Max and the girls nodded before jetting off to stop Animo from creating an alien mutated army. Swampbat roared as it charged the Crystalfriggian, blasting flames from it's mouth again when Chroma-Chill blasted ice from his hand, "Is that all you've got? Don't tell me you're just a one trick pony?!" He mocked before ultraviolet rays shot out of his left arm hitting the mutation in its chest.
The swampbat wailed in pain before flying off back to the observatory. Chroma-Chill watched as it retreated, "That's right, lead me back to your master." He glared before flying after the beast.
Max and the girls find themselves outside of the observatory, when the giant mutated crystallized frog hops out smashing there boat to pieces. Gwen creates a mana platform for her and Max to avoid splashing into the murky water. She looked over to see Hope with the same idea.
"Guess Animo knows we're here." Max mutters when the crystallized frog lands onto the ground.
"Yeah, and it seems he mutated the frog." Hope replies when it blasts ultraviolet rays from its mouth. The two witches throw up mana shields to block the attack when it shatters it like glass.
"No way." Max utters in shock.
"It's embedded with Chromastone's DNA, our mana is completely useless against Chromastone's species." Gwen says, "We gotta hit it with spells."
Hope nods, "Let's do it!"
Animo gazes outside to see the Tennyson's outside battling against his crystallized frog, "Seems I have some uninvited cockroaches in my pond." He mutters, "Why don't I drown them out." He glares before activating his large machine again.
Gwen, Hope, and Max gaze to see Animo at the top of the observatory, "You're too late! I'll be putting this faceplate to good use after I create new world filled with life mutated from the DNA of the Omnitrix, by pointing the ray's signal into a nearby satellite, thus delivering it all over Earth! Like so!" He aimed the device at Hope before firing it at her.
"HOPE! WATCH OUT!" Max screams before diving infront of the silver haired witch, pushing her out the way. Hope and Gwen watched in horror as Max started growing plant like tendrils out his legs, a venus flytrap ontop of his head with black pods coming from his back. Max had been corrupted with WildVine's DNA.
"Grandpa, turned into WildVine?" Gwen questioned as Max looked at them.
"Guess so, let's even the odds against doctor whacko. You two take him, I'll deal with the large frog." Max ordered as the two girls nodded, but before they took off for there tasks Hope called out to him.
"Max, I don't know how to thank you for pushing me out the way." Hope replied when he placed his clawed hand on her shoulder.
"Hope, you're apart of this family. I think of you as my own grandchild, just like Ben and Gwen. And I'm sure you'll be family soon. We, Tennyson's look out for each other, right, Hope Tennyson?" Max explained as the silver haired beauty went wide eyed at his declaration, before gazing over to Gwen who was smiling brightly.
Hope felt like crying before hugging Max tightly, he was a bit taken back by the sudden hug, but soon reciprocated the action, "Right, grandpa." She muttered, but Max heard her loud and clear.
"Now, go kick his ass." Max replied firmly which made Hope grin before racing off with Gwen up to the top of the observatory, "Now it's just you and me!" He leaped at the large crystallized frog before seeing it blast uv rays at him, he spun around quickly dodging the blasts. He grabbed the black pods from his back seeing Ben do this before, "Hungry? For some bombs?" He hurled them at him. Watching them explode on contact.
MaxVine landed on the ground waiting for the smoke to clear before seeing it's tongue dart outwards and towards him. The Florauna hybrid leaned backwards before his hand morphed into a thorned sickle and sliced the frogs tongue off. The frog wailed in pain as the remainder of its tongue came flying back into its mouth, "Let's go you overgrown purse." He held up his other hand which morphed into another thorned sickle.
As MaxVine was about to charge the crystallized frog a stream of fire cut him off. He stopped dead in his tracks to avoid being roasted by the Swampbat which descended from the sky. It roared at the Florauna hybrid which caused him to back up.
"Two on one? That's not very nice." A voice replied MaxVine's eyes widened when Chroma-Chill descended from the sky, hovering above him, "Let's even the odds, shall we?"
"Hate to say it, but I was hoping you'd appear, Ben." MaxVine retorted as Chroma-Chill gazed at the Florauna in confusion, "What don't recognize your own grandpa?" He laughed heartily.
"Grandpa? What happened to you? And why are you, WildVine?" Chroma-Chill landed on the ground his wings and antenna draping over his body like a cloak.
"Too many questions and no time, we've got some knock offs to deal with." MaxVine glared at the Chromafrog and Swampbat when a blaring noise gained there attention, "You've gotta be kidding me."
In a flash of red, Ben reverted back to normal, "UGH! I can never win!" Swampbat and Chromafrog saw it as an opportunity to attack. MaxVine quickly shot his vined arm out and wrapped it around his grandsons waist before launching into the air.
"Hang on!" MaxVine yelled before swinging around the observatory with Swampbat and Chromafrog chasing after them.
"To what?!" He yelled. Seeing the large alien mutants gaining on them, Ben quickly activated the Omnitrix once again. He scrolled through the holograms before landing on one, "Grandpa!"
"What?" He screamed dodging a blast of fire from swampbat, when Chromafrog launched its sawed tongue at him which he dodged without warning.
"Let me go!"
"WHAT?!"
"Just trust me! I know what I'm doing!" He replied, "Sorta."
MaxVine not seeing another choice nodded before letting go of his grandson. Ben dived towards the mutant animals, grinning fiercely, "It's time I showed you knock-offs who the original is! IT'S HERO TIME!" He slammed his hand onto dial becoming engulfed in an emerald light.
Ben felt himself bloating up like a balloon, while also feeling the bones in his body dissolve. He became shorter and hunched over with a long tail sprouting from his back both being covered in green armor plating. The top of his head was protected in the armor plating. His arms were longer and covered in green armor and his feet turned into short and stubby claws also with his knees being covered in the green armor plates, with his teeth turning into fangs. His body was completely green as his large hulking body dropped into a puddle of slime. A small grey device with green outlining the sides, resembling a UFO flew downwards picking up the lumbering hulking back into his humanoid form. With the Omnitrix badge appearing in the middle of his chest.
The Arburian Pelarota mixed with a Polymorph rolled himself into a green slimeball, he soon hardened his body before colliding with Swampbat, hitting it hard. MaxVine watched as his grandson turned into CannonGoop. The two mutations slammed into the ground hard, when the Chromafrog launched it's tongue at the Arburianmorph. But MaxVine soon sliced the remainder of its tongue off yet again, "Round two."
Gwen and Hope had raced to the top of the observatory to find Animo and his machine, "It's over, Animo!" Gwen yelled before the two girls took battle stances.
"Nothing is over! You will never defeat me!" He bellowed.
"Then let's get this over with!" Hope yelled before her and Gwen rushed the crazed animal mutater, who pulled out a metallic device which resembled a gun and blasted it at them.
Hope threw up a purple mana shield before the energy beams could make contact, "You head for the machine, I'll draw his fire."
"Stay safe, okay?" Gwen replied which Hope nodded firmly before dashing towards the machine which Animo noticed immediately.
"Oh no you don't!" He aimed and started firing at Gwen when Hope threw up a shield around her and blasted a stream of mana into his chest knocking him off his feet.
He hit the wall behind him, before realizing Hope had trapped him inside a mana jailcell, "It's over, Animo. You're going back to jail."
"Jail will never hold me child!" Animo exclaimed slamming against the mana bars which made Hope scoff.
"Whatever you say Animo." Hope soon walked over to Gwen holding the faceplate.
"Got it! Now let's see if we can change those animals back to normal." Gwen thought which made Hope smile.
"Maybe try putting it in backwards and hopefully it'll reverse the effects." Hope replied as Gwen raised an improving eyebrow.
"Not a bad idea. We just need grandpa and Ben to hold them still." Gwen said before flipping the dial backwards.
"Leave it to me." Hope raced to the opening inside the observatory, gazing at the ongoing battle between CannonGoop, MaxVine, Swampbat, and Chromafrog, "Ben, Grandpa, keep them still! We're gonna try and reverse the effects!" She yelled.
A stream of fire passed harmlessly through CannonGoop's body while MaxVine was slicing and dicing Chromafrog, "Sounds easy enough. Grandpa, alley oop on three."
"Alley what?" MaxVine replied before CannonGoop was already morphed into his ball form.
"THREE!" Max took that as the signal before wrapping his vined arm around the Arburianmorph and launching him at Swampbat, "ALLEY OOP!" He slammed straight into swampbat's chest downing the mutant while MaxVine shoved both arms into the ground as his tendrils wrapped tightly around Chromafrog.
"NOW GWEN!" MaxVine roared at the top of his lungs. A red beam was soon fired from the top of the observatory which collided with Swampbat turning the creature back to normal. Gwen soon fired it again as it collided with Chromafrog and reverted it back to a mutated bullfrog.
She activated it one more time before as it collided with MaxVine, reverting him back to normal. Max gazed at himself and smiled, "Back to normal." The bullfrog took this as it's chance to escape as it leapt back into the swamp.
Hope and Gwen built a mana platform and lowered themselves to the ground before rejoining at Max's side. When CannonGoop slithered over before his projector scooped up the puddle, pulling him into his hulking figure.
"Nice work, guys." Max stated happily.
"What can we say it was a team effort." Gwen and Hope reply in unison.
"Indeed it was." Max laughs.
"This has been fun and all, but I'm still an alien hybrid over here." CannonGoop retorted as Gwen tossed him his faceplate, "Thanks." The badge soon started flashing red as he placed the faceplate back on before reverting back to normal. He gazed at the Omnitrix and spun the dial to make sure it was on there permanently and to his surprise it was, "Oh yeah, back in the none fusion alien ass kicking business."
"Let that be a lesson on your attempts to hack it, Benjamin." Max replied sternly.
"It will." Ben replied as they gazed out into the swamp's murky water.
"Wait, how do we get back?" Hope asked remembering the large frog destroyed their boat.
"Leave that to me." Ben smirked.
"What about Animo?" Max asked.
"Tied up, unconscious, and ready for the police to come pick him up." Gwen answered.
"Outstanding." Max grinned, "Now, Ben, get us back to the RV."
Ben grinned, "You got it." He soon activated the Omnitrix before slamming his hand onto the faceplate becoming engulfed in an emerald light.
