Sci-Fi FREAK- it Miranda as a romance, it why I age up ben in the second chapter by faking his age to get a rise out of Miranda.
Sci-Fi FREAK – Yes that the plan from the start for all those characters, I have even planned one chapter where Ben sits Morden (maybe Tali joins as well) about the Aliens (right Now there called creatures because ben Hiding (trying to anyway) the fact he from another universe with different changes into different aliens as well). In terms of Spelling and Grammer, I am aware of them as I am dyslexic so I expect it to happen and pop up and me to miss it, I will of course try and fix it but don't expect too much as I do miss as lot in that area unless someone mentions it. Thank you for the feedback
Omni-X- sorry for the late replay but to answer your questions, yes Ben has the Ability to turn into the dragon alien, as well as others he could not do before, that also including the mass effect aliens once he collects them. His Omnitrix is not called the final Omnitrix for nothing. Yes The reapers after the fight on Horizon are keeping tabs on ben like they are with Shepard. They see him as much as a threat as they do with Shepard.
Rexzilla- sorry for the late replay but No I am not going to make the Omnitrix too op, plus they are a lot of Korgans to Cure so it would not work as well. Plus I have not gone through Mordan loyalty mission yet so I see what changes I Might make if I involve the Omnitrix. Yes I can image they walk the ground under ben feet, but taking away a crucial moment In mass effect 3 story, will somewhat ruin the dark drama that going to be building up.
Skull and Bones- sorry for the late replay but Rath is Coming don't you worry about it. I am saving him for the best fights. Humungousaur is also coming.
Normandy SR2, Hangar Bay
Miranda is giving a tour to ben around the ship while ship on the shoulder, they final destination, is the Hangar bay. A room full of white and Engine parts, turbine and supplies. As Miranda Gives the tour. Shepard, Garrus and Jacob are off on a mission. "Finally this is the Hangar Bay, right Now we above Haestrom where Commander is on another recruitment mission. That why you do not see the shuttle"
Ben nods Along "Cool, I take it"
Miranda coughs out "Hang on you be sleeping in the crew quarters like everyone else not in the hanger bay"
Ben Smiles "Ah But you see my dear princess, I need an open space to practice and the hanger bay is perfect for that, plus you have a squatter down in the lower decks living there so I don't think you should complain about where I sleep"
Miranda Eye Twitches Heavily buts sighs, "Very Well just don't interrupt Shepard when he heads out on mission on the shuttle unless your part of the mission". Ben Nods
A new voice in a deep dark female tone comes " Yo Cheerleader why did you call me, Zaeed, Kasumi, Morden and grunt down here"
Miranda and Ben turn to the elevator where the voice appears, it Jack "The commander wants to test out Ben combat abilities before we give the go ahead for him to join a mission"
Ben chimes in "excuse me I do not need testing thank you very much, you seen first hand on Horizon that my skills are"
Miranda Interrupts "Impressive yes but reckless, and unpredictable. We need to managed group cohesion and you clearly need to understand that with your childish ways of fighting and taunting, so as your Handler I be making sure you get caught up with the team"
Mordan chimes in "Yes, must test strength of these creatures and understand they unique abilities. Also intrigue by Device on arm." Ben Just Scowls thinking "I prefer to work alone anyway"
Ship nods at Ben Agreeing with both Miranda and Mordan "ship Ship" Ben retorts " aw not you too ship" Miranda Smirks "it seems Ship has all the brains out of the two of you"
Ben Scowls at her " Alright You and me princess , one and one right now" Jack snorts " I like this Kid already" Grunt Laughs "haha yes show them you're the strongest" Pretty sure he missed the whole who got the brains bash. Zaeed just leans back on the panel smirking. Kasumi "oh oh can I hold ship while you fight. He so cute" Ben Nods and ship already jumps Kasumi arms "yes". And walk back to the rest next to Morden who just silent ready to see what happens. Same with Joker and EDI over Vid.
Miranda nods and brings out her SNG. "Be ready little boy because I won't go easy on you…" but before she can finished her sentence. Ben slams down the watch and a bright green light appearing blinding almost everyone.
When the light finishes out comes a orange crustation crab that head is bigger than his body. "BrainStorm!" Everyone laughs at him except ship and Mordan as he understand the connotation behind the name. Miranda retorts snortly "wow way to show your big head they little boy, is it all empty up there"
Ben/Brainstorm smartly retorts " My dear Princess, if that was only so simple for your small little mind to understand the connotations of my Brain function"
Everyone stops laughing and looks at Ben with a funny look. Morden just smirks. Zaeed just blankly states, "is his voice different, like he a scholar now or whatever because it given me a god damm head headache"
Miranda just smirks even further letting her emotions take this one by diving in the battle starting it with biotics, hitting him with a warp and follow it up with an overload, The hit and Ben Pushed back a bit, almost tipping over " So you insult me by claiming I have a small head and yours is bigger" Her Left eyebrow shot up smile thinking she winning.
Ben/Brainstorm Crab smile almost reaches to the eyes. Eevryone including Jack and except Morden are creep out by that. "My dear princess I'm not insulting your head smaller no no, im stating a fact that my brain is the size of Grunt body if not larger for rough comparison of course" Now said that Ben/Brainstorm head shell cracks open in half to show the giant size brain to everyone, adding that he fire off kinetic energy storm from said brain to Miranda.
Miranda Blanches realising she walked in a trap by Ben or brainstorm or whatever because right now she stuck on the panel wall. Angrily she retorts "well good for you big brain but that does not me you win"
Mordan chimes "Actually it does, you see your stuck by your own Cerberus ship" He smiles. Miranda looks down to see that metal coating is surrounding her like a wrapping paper. "Fine you win Little Boy"
Ben/Brainstorm smiles " thoughts SOOO" musically. Jack comes in laughing her head off by the fact a human size crab beats the cheerleader, Zaeed just smirks, Kasumi Giggle with Ship Shipipipip" and Grunt was disappointed that it was not a brawl. They were however quite grossed out by Brainstorm brain.
Ben/Brainstorm "who next" Grunt comes in smiling "Me I want a real fight" Ben/Brainstorm Smiles, "sure let me Change" and hits the Omnitrix and the bright green light appears, showing.
Normandy SR2, Hangar Bay Grunt Fight
"FourArms" A red muscular Man like creature, who 6ft tall and has straps on both sides to hold out the shorts. Everyone Stares With Blank Expression, except for grunt and Morden. Kasumi just Giggles "Wow how original, where you Ten when you named him"
Ben/FourArms Looks at her " Yes, Yes I was why?" Kasumi stops the giggles and just stares, "urmm, okay was not expecting that answer"
Ben/FourArms Smirks " No one ever does" now starts the attack on Grunt.
Miranda was Shocked by that answer, Thinking " if he had this device for that long than the taunts are not just taunts and him acting like a man child meant. Dammit I've Underestimated him, thinking he just a big ego brat with no skill, but that was not the case at all and he use the taunts to make the opponent underestimated only for him to get the upper hand later on in a firefight. He called me princess, so he can get me to reacting out of me and it work" Her Mouth forms twitchy smirk. Jack Sees this and smirks, and thinks herself and Ben fight similar, but ones a Criminal for Crimes while the other has a good heart but can see that his eyes are full of depression and sadness. Suddenly wind comes out of no where and in the ship of all places. Ben/FourArms and grunt are still at it, punching, one after the another, both sides surviving each juggernaut hit . They keep at it tossing and throwing at each other, like heavy rag dolls in wrestling fights, smashing craters into walls and ceilings of the Normandy .
Joker coms in "Hey guys can you not Blow inside of my ship it causing disruption on all decks"
Ben/FourArms snorts " Heh Blows" Joker just smirks at that. Everyone just moans at the joke. "Very we call it a draw Grunt seems the ship can't survive my win"
Grunt Nods "Fine but I expect a rematch on a planet somewhere" Ben/FourArms Nods "Deal" Grunts, grunts and moves back to the rest of the team. "so who next" Ben/FourArms smirks.
Zaeed Contemplates this "no, I'm good, I don't what to deal with the headache afterwards and I am too old for this shit" Kasumi and ship giggle at that.
Jack on the other hand smiles " let go pretty Teen. Change into what ever you like but I will win against you"
Ben was about to hit the Omnitrix but the realised something, "Hang on princess let me get you out of there before I forget" And so he did ripping off the metal like tissue paper. Miranda Thanks him and moves next to Morden. Now Ben Hit the Omnitrix and a bright green light appears again.
"So Morden, what your theory about the creatures Ben, uses" Miranda ask. Morden replies with a sniff " Interesting, advantages yes but also has disadvantages too, if you were in control of your emotions you could of dodge the kinetic storm headed your way in battle." Miranda Nods Agreeing with the assessment while not happy about it. "but also like everyone here, notice a smirk of a lie on Ben. Yes yes, I do not believe they simple creatures he created nor believed he made the watch, maybe another created yes but love to get DNA samples for research purposes." Miranda Nods " I am going to ask him about everyone transformation, he has, I give you a rundown of them when I get Answers". Morden Nods Happily at that.
The green Ligh fades and out comes
Normandy SR2, Hangar Bay Jack Fight
"Mudball!" Ben screams out. Everyone was confused why did Ben turn into mud. Ship wasn't as he Told ben in a very ship manner of everyone who can fight and know how they fight. Mordan also realised why ben Chose this creature. Kasumi Jokes, "Hey as longs as he not getting mud on the carpet. Fine by me" Ben Smirks but is quiet for a second.
Ben Looking at Jack ready for her to attack him. Ben was also glad he gets to use Mudball as it remind of his cousin Lucy and the Big fat alien wedding he attended during his summer vacation with grampa Max and Gwen. Hopefully Lucy and her family made it out in time to new earth in his old world. Miranda notice the solon face that Ben/Mudball shows. It intrigue her.
Jack start the confrontation with a blast of her shockwave, but that only scatter only parts of Mudball. Ben/Mudball sees this as an opportunity to drive jack towards him with that shotgun, by slowing trying to smack her with a hammer of mud. Jack dodges of course and heads toward him, not noticing Ben/Mudball smirk as his planned work.
Zaeed chims in "Jack walk into that one," Miranda Agrees "yes like my fight she using her emotions, though I was angered by the kid beforehand, and in most case Jack using her emotions has helped her, in fights, but this, well. It a Trap waiting to spring" Kasumi smirks and whispered in Miranda ear" woah never thought you praise jack don't worry though I keep quiet
Jack Charges in slamming a shotgun to Ben/Mudball. Smirking "gotcha kid." Ben/Mudball looks at her smirking back as the mud that on the floor because of Jack firing her shotgun earlier. "Well now someone look like the are in need of a hug" That what ben does, he hugs Jack with all that mud, containing her in a sphere of mud. Ben/Mudball " I think I Win" While at the same time suffocation Jack.
"Beep Beep BEeeeeeep" and a green light appears.
Ben/Mudball Turns Back into Ben
Normandy SR2, Hangar Bay
"Well that was fun" Ben retorts snortly. Jack just punch him in the arm and smiles at him. Then walks back to the elevator. "Well that was Weird, what got her butt." Kasumi comes with Ship in hand "oh I have a feeling, she thinking about" Zaeed Coughs "cough anyway it been fun, but I got to go tune up my weapon. Oh and kid you got any fire attributes beast in that little do hickey of yours?" Ben returns "several in fact why?" Zaeed Smiles and walks aways.
Ben right eyebrow shot up, "okay that was even weirder" Kasumi just smiles, "so ben since you new and I feel like it my duty to as your now new older sister to keep an eye out for you" "Ship Ship" Ships agrees. Ben smirks back with "I have a few Ali-cough I mean creatures that can turn invisible" Kasumi juts smiles, liking this kid more and more.
Ben looks around "by the way where Morden" Miranda looks at him and nods, "He is going back to lab for further research. Also Kasumi I am Ben Handler I do not need a gossip infiltrator to" Kasumi Interrupts "well you done a fine job so far, I mean who missed out on the fact that Ben had this device when he was ten, I mean he said it in the meeting" Ben Nods he did indeed say that then, also ignoring the fact that Kasumi was at the meeting apparently. "Ship ship" nods alongside Ben.
Miranda just Moans at that, and murmurs "not my finest moment" She looks at Ben "I would like a data pad on all your creatures and they abilities," Ben gives her a deadpanned look " NO! I do not want the illusive man to get his grubby hands on that type of information" Kasumi chims in here stopping the argument before it starts "Ben think about, The illusive man made this ship, he going to have spies here to keep an eye out on the unknown and you my friend are the unknown" Ben Scowls at that knowing she is right. He looks back at Miranda "Fine you have by the end of the day" Miranda Nods "thank you and thank you Kasumi" Not outright denying that they are spies on the ship. " I be in my office if you need me" and then she walks back to the elevator. Kasumi joins her not before hand Ship back to Ben "I'm going to have a word with are friend there, see ya new little bro" Ben smiles and starts setting up his new sleeping arrangements.
Elevator
"you know he not going to give all his creatures secrets right?" Kasumi Jumps right in the conversation.
Miranda Nods " I am aware, I'm not stupid to not notice he does not trust Cerberus or the illusive man either. I'm expecting at least his most used ones and, ones that he does not use at all" Kasumi Nods back "Makes sense really if he in a firefight against Cerberus" Miranda continues "he have the advantage because we don't have access to all his creatures so it be an uneven fight, if he turns into something different that we have not seen before"
Kasumi smiles, " you taking this better than I thought you would" Miranda Smiles " I won't lie and claim I am happy about this situation, but he is an asset and a strong one at that" Kasumi nods. " I also notice each name have meaning behind them for example Atomix in the reports of horizon"
Miranda Blanches at that realising where she going with this "if that creature had Atomic Energy then." She thinks for a moment "Shit" Kasumi Grins "Indeed"
The Elevator doors open and they walk out onto the crew deck. Kasumi, "Nice chatting with you but next time try not trick the kid" Miranda nods agreeing, she needs to reevaluate what to do with the " Shepard Tricked me, that son of a Bi" You can hear Jack in the background laughing.
Shuttle
Shepard, Garrus, Jacob and now the newly join Tali'Zorah are in the shuttle heading back to the Normandy.
"Commander"
"Yes EDI"
"Miranda Figured out you assign her to Ben in a way to help appears Ben into joining the crew, also she realised that you knew Ben was making her angry and well this is the result "
EDI then sends footage of Brainstorm beating Miranda to his Oni-tool. Garrus just stares dumbfounder by the fact a crab has such a massive brain. Jacob Just Laughs "Is that kinetic energy" Tali dumbstruck by watch she watching. Edi respond "yes My reading show that Brainstorm, is a highly intelligent creature, that at least smart or if not equal to mine, which is a AI"
"Fascinating, How does this ben Turn into these creatures" Tali ask enthusiastically. Shepard responds with a smile watching the footage " with his watch, notice that Hourglass symbol on his belt I think" Tali Nods. Shepards continues "that how, it can make him turn into different creatures of shapes and sizes"
"Fascinating" Garrus Shakes his head, "Here we go again when Tali sees something, she can't help but"
Tali quickly but rather jokingly "I have a shotgun Garrus" Garrus Hands in the air "I'm shutting up now"
Tali quips "Good Birdy" Garrus just stares with Narrow slits. Jacob Smirks Next to Shepard "wipped" Shepard is having a hard time not laughing at this, and his old friends working together again. Both Garrus and Tali worked with Shepard back when seran was a threat
Joker Coms in " Oh and Commander" Shepard response "yes Joker" "um Ben decided to sleep in the hangar bay, says it big enough to train there for his creatures"
Shepard Nods "Thanks for the heads up joker" "No problem commander"
Garrus snorts "So Illum next"
Shepard Nods " yes we need to recruit Thane and Samara. I am thinking of separate teams one going after Thane while the other after Samara but we don't know till we see Lira as well"
Tali Nod "Shepard you need to know out of everyone Lira took it the worse, you need to be patience with her and wait till your both ready."
Shepard nod but his smile turn upside down " I know Tali and thanks" Tali nods Back.
Jacob chims in "separate teams make sense commander. I recommend putting Ben in the second team sir"
Garrus inputs as well "it makes sense, lets see how Ben reacts to on the field mission and go from there"
Shepard Nods along "Agreed I select the team once I am back on the Normandy and after the talk with Miranda or rather her talk with me"
Everyone snickers at that
