Ben 10 Ultimate Hero EP 30: The Alliance
I don't own anything except my OCs.
Intro:
A green glowing, steel pod was flying through space, hurtling towards earth as it crashed, making a huge green flash.
The camera zooms out from the glowing symbol on the Ultimatrix as Ben looks up close at it.
He then activates it while smirking at the camera, raising his hand high and slapping it down on the core.
The background turns all green as Ben morphs into Four Arms, who pumps his upper fists while cracking his lower ones with a smirk.
A white number appears on the left side, starting at 1.
"Ben 10!"
2: Heatblast ignites 2 fireballs in his hands.
"Ben 10!"
3: XLR8 zooms into the right.
4: Diamondhead swaps his right arm across as it turns into a blade.
"Ben 10!"
5: Cannonbolt uncurls and poses.
"Ben 10!"
"Ben 10!"
6: Upgrade stretches out of his puddle form.
7: Grey Matter hops off the 7 and lands into a crouch, giving a thumbs up and a smile.
"Ben 10!"
8: Water Hazard slides in on his water blasts and raises his fists.
"Ben 10!"
9: Wildvine extends his legs and stretches out his right fingers while holding seeds in his left one, chucking them offscreen.
10: Big Chill phases through the number and floats briefly before zooming near the camera.
"Ben 10!"
Big Chill's head turns back into Ben's as it rotates.
The camera zooms out to reveal Max and Gwen by his side.
Ben gave a low-five to his grandfather as Gwen crossed her arms and shook her head playfully with a smile.
The 2 then ran off-screen, making Ben run towards the camera with a determined look.
He then froze as his aliens appeared in heroic poses on each of the kids' sides, 5 on each side. Just as the title appears on a black background with green rays appearing from the title.
The Tennysons are at a gas station while Ben is inside and holds his stomach in hunger. "Man! I'm starving!" He then spots a box of cookies and grabs it, only for the pile to fall on top of Gwen, much to her annoyance as she pokes out and glares at her grinning cousin. The kids went outside as Max was busy scrubbing a 'wash me' sign from the windows. "Nice art, Ben." "You know... It makes a statement." Suddenly, a laser blast blew up an armored truck nearby and the Tennysons were shocked. "NO! That's a statement!" Gwen cries out.
As the family was surprised, they noticed that a trio of bikers with helmets and hi-tech weapons approached the wreckage, robbing it of the money as the leader noticed the family. 'What are you looking at?!" She aims a huge laser cannon and fires a beam, making Max cry out and shove the siblings behind the RV. "Kids! Get back!" He dodges the beams as well and lies down on the ground as Ben exclaims. "Got to get Grandpa out of there!" He cries out as he dials his watch and slams down, transforming.
As the bikers regroup, Four Arms crashes down nearby and smashes on the ground with all of his arms, sending out a shockwave that blows them off their feet. As the villains recovers, the alien notices the dazed driver of the truck. "You, okay?" The man notices and screams, running away as Four Arms scratches his head. "I wonder if that's a 'yes'?" Only for a laser to hit him in the back, knocking him down. He notices the leader firing another beam as he leaps up, just as the beam explodes a nearby gas pump.
But Four Arms leaps out of the smoke and slams down in front of them, knocking them all back as he grabs 2 and takes off their helmets, only to be surprised that the bikers are females, not males! "Whoa! You're all women? This is a new twist." Only for the laser cannon to blast him from behind as the leader, who is now helmet-less, smirks out. "Trust me! You haven't seen anything, yet!"
She then aims at Four Arms at point-blank range, only out of the sky and blue, are 2 familiar saucer-like alien drones as they fire red beams at the bikers. Four Arms got out of the way, but the armored truck was totaled. "Wait a sec... Those drones!" Four Arms breaths as he recognizes them! They were the same type of robots he first fought when he discovered the Ultimatrix!
"Hey! This is my heist!" Rojo frowns as one of her members cries out, running away. "You can have it!" Frowning at her former members turning chicken and running out, Rojo decides to aim Four Arms, but Max intervenes by hitting her with a spare tire. "Careful, Four Arms! Those drones seem to be after you for some reason!" "You get yours, old man!" Rojo snarls out as she blasts at the Elder, who ducks but gets hit by debris from above. Gwen is horrified. "GRANDPA!" "NOOOO!" Four Arms cries out in horror and glares at the robots, having enough of them! Grabbing them when they got close, he snarls out. "Nice try!" Smashing them together, he tossed them at Rojo as payback for hurting his grandfather.
He then quickly runs over and gets the rocks off, grabbing him and Gwen as he mega leaps to the nearest Hospital, wasting no time at all as Rojo comes around and notices Four Arms is gone, glancing at the destroyed alien robots. 'What are these things?" She mumbles out as she has never seen tech like this before! Even her laser cannon, which she stole last week, isn't as advanced as these drones. So, she ripped a head off to take a closer look. But to her shock, she spots the eyes flashing red as it jabs a cylinder into her neck, making her scream in pain.
Her neck starts turning red as her sleeves rip along with her socks and shoes. Her hair became more spiked up as a red visor appeared over her eyes. She grew 2 red orbs on her shoulders as silver sharp spikes appeared on her arms. She grew 4 sharp, sliver claws as well. "Freeze!" The cops cry out, having arrived at the scene of the explosions from before. But Rojo frowns at them. "I already did my time! It's time you guys pay!" To her surprise, the orbs raised out and fired 2 crimson beams at the cars, blowing them up as the police escaped in the nick of time. She grins out as she likes her new form's powers as she picks up a bag of stolen money, chuckling out. "This is going to be a blast!"
"Your grandfather suffered a severe concussion, being out for several more hours. He also has several lacerations and a broken foot as well." The doctor explains to the grandkids while they are in a hospital room with a bandaged-up Grandpa Max, sleeping in bed. "Is... He going to be all right?" Ben asked out in worriment as the doctor smiled out, calming the boy. "For a man his age, he's remarkably strong. He'll be fine after some rest. Now, it says here he was hit by a car bumper. Did someone back into him by mistake?"
"Yes. yes, it did." Gwen quickly answers, just before Ben gives the truthful version. The man nods and leaves as Ben looks at the tween as she explains as she notices the expression on Ben's face. "You think he'll believe the part about alien robots, blowing up a car to make the bumper hit Grandpa?" Ben realizes she raises a good point as they look back at Max and watch in worry as to whether Grandpa will wake up.
Back with Rojo, she is robbing a jewel store as people run out, screaming a panic. She then uses his laser to melt a hold in a display case, making her reach in and pull out some jewels, only to be shocked at them being dusted as she accidentally crushed them with her strength. "What?! NO! Now they're worthless!" Spotting a woman, the biker was about to take her anger out, when she started having some sort of seizure. "Gahh!" "Listen to me... Whoever you are." "Who's there? Where are you? How did you get in my head?" The biker thug cries out as she gazes around for the voice in her head.
"No questions! You serve me now..." Rojo chuckles as she sasses back. "Forget it, pal! I work for me and me alone." But before she knew it, she found herself floating in a strange void in space. As she looks around for anything, she is shocked to come face to face with a 25-foot-tall being, covered in shadows and bulky as it towers over the biker chick. "You know possess power beyond anything you can imagine. But unless you can find a way to use it, it is worthless! Fulfill my demand and I will teach you... BUT! Fail me and I will turn you into dust!"
"So... What do you want?" Rojo asks the shadow as it narrows its glowing red eyes. "A piece of valuable technology missing from my possession. And luckily for you, you are already programmed to find it." After that, the unknown alien cuts the transmission as Rojo recovers and rubs her neck, narrowing her eyes as she leaves the store to find the tech she was hunting for.
Back at the Hospital, Ben kept staring at Max's sleeping form as his cousin states. "Ben, you heard the doctor. He's going to be fine. He's grandpa." "I'm worried about him..." Gwen smirks out. "I'm worried about how some girl kicked Four Arms' butt!" Ben frowns back. "Hey! I didn't know she was a girl at 1st! I thought she was a guy, from the way she dressed." Gwen playfully rolls her eyes. "Sure, you did, dweeb. Sure, you did..." Only to change to worry when Ben left for the hallway and leaned against the window in thought.
"You know..." He said as his cousin joined him. "If I go Upgrade, I can get into that machine he's hooked up to and make him better." But Gwen wasn't so sure. "Ben... That won't work." "Okay... What if I want Grey Matter? Maybe his smarts can figure out a way to make him as good as new?! I don't know... I just want to help." But when the boy activates the watch, Rojo, hovering around, picks up on its signal, zooming in to a spot in the Hospital. "There you are."
Back with Ben, he looks at his grandfather as he goes back and kicks a trashcan in anger at not being able to do anything. "Relax, Ben. Everything is going to be fine." But just as the tween said those words, Rojo burst through the window as the kids got out of the way. The 2 start running as the cyborg woman blasts at them. The 2 kept running until Ben spotted the stairs door. "Stairs!" Both kids run down the tall staircase as Gwen cries out. "Ben! That thing is the girl from the robbery! It's like she merged with..." "Those robots from before!"
Just then, the top of the stairs blew up and the kids continued running downward as Rojo leaps down as well. Both parties made it to the bottom floor as Rojo kept blasting at them. "Radical thought! But now is a good time to go hero!" Gwen suggests. After heading out and behind some ambulances to hide, Ben realizes his cousin is right. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way." Rojo snarls as she leaves the Hospital, spotting the mountain near the building as she uses her lasers to create a rockslide. Ben frowns as he dials in Diamondhead. "It's hero time!" But when he slaps down on the dial, he turns into Heatblast instead.
"Great! I wanted to fight rock with diamonds, but instead, I got the alien matchstick!" He noticed the rocks were closing in so he asked his smarter cousin. "Scissors cut paper, fire melts rock, right?!" Getting a shrug in reply, he just goes with it and unleashes a stream of flames at the rock, only to turn them into flaming boulders instead. "Okay... Bad idea!"
He spots the ambulance as Gwen flees and gets an idea, uses his flames to melt the front of the vans, and looks back to see the makeshift barrier stop the flaming rocks as they roll down the street. "Hospital's saved!" Heatblast grins out, only for it to drop as Gwen points out. "But there's people at the bottom of the hill!" The alien notices Gwen is right as he groans out. " Aw, man! I hate it when you're right." Heatblast runs off, only to get stomped by Rojo!
But he bursts out in fire to knock her off as he leaps over a railing, activating his flames, and forms his fire comet as he surfs to the bridge and lands in front of the tumbling, flaming boulders. He then creates a fire steam to blast the bridge apart as the rocks fall into the river, saving the people!
But Rojo swopped in and grabbed him by surprise, throwing him at a truck as she fired rapid shots at the alien hero. She stops as she looks at the smoke and debris, wondering if Heatblast is still alive. She gets her answer when the alien shows up without a scratch. "You want me? I'm right here!" Rojo snarls as she charges at the alien, only for him to duck out of the way. As she glanced back, Heatblast merely pointed behind her as he snapped a spark that ignited a trail of oil. Rojo looks back to see that she is near a tanker truck of oil and she groans. "You've got to be kidding me." BOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM The explosion sent the cyborg woman flying as Heatblast waves with a grin. "See ya!"
In Max's new room, Ben felt bad as he explained to his awakened grandfather. "When I was playing around with the watch, I must have led her right to you." "Relax, kiddo. Since they moved me to a new room and you haven't gone alien since then, we're in the clear." But Ben is still unsure.
"Yeah... for now. But what about the next day? Or the day after that? If I never found this thing, none of this stuff would be happening!" Ben exclaims as he shows the ultimatrix as he is starting to doubt his powers can keep his family safe. Especially since every villain and monster they encounter this Summer thus far is attracted to him like bugs to a lantern. "Yeah... But since it's stuck on your hand, there's nothing we can do about it." Gwen points out as Ben frowns. "Maybe... Or maybe not."
As the people on the street gather around at the crater with smoke residing off it, Rojo rises as her appearance frightens the people away. But before the cyborg biker can do anything, she receives another call from the figure as he appears before her. "The Ultimatrix... Where is it?" "I couldn't get it. And how nice you didn't tell me that I be fighting a superhero, let alone a 10-year-old!" "WHAT?! The Ultimatrix is in the hands of a child?!" The being cries out in shock as his target is a child when he thinks Ben is at least an adult.
"Yeah! And guess what? I'm through! Get someone else to do your work." But the figure snarls as its giant mouth swallows Rojo whole as he speaks to her. "Get me the Ultimatrix and if you fail again, your meaningless life will be forfeit! This time, get the child to come to you." On the figure's words, Rojo went off to find a way to lure Ben to her.
Ben placed a note on the foot of his grandfather's bed as he and Gwen both slept like logs, making the boy whisper out. "I'm doing this for you, Grandpa." He ran off out of the room as he figured one thing: The farther away he is from his family, the safer they will be.
Ben sat alone on a park bench, deep in thought as he glanced at the device strapped to his hand and frowned at it. Ever since he found it, it has caused nothing but problems and chaos in his 10-year-old life. As Ben ponders what it would be like if he never found it and maybe his grandfather wouldn't be lying down on a hospital bed, he then spots a kid and his grandfather playing football, making the youth smile. "I'm glad we can spend the Summer together, Grandpa." As Ben couldn't help but feel longing at the sight, a nearby new report on a woman's phone caught his ears.
"Reports say the armored assailant has incredible firepower. And has blown up several police barricades before arriving at the police academy training center, just out of Albuquerque." Frowning at knowing that it was Rojo, Ben went off, hoping to finish things, once and for all.
Back at the Hospital, Gwen wakes up and notices her cousin is gone and spots the note, reading it as she is stunned at the continents. "'Dear Grandpa and Gwen, I care about you both too much to keep putting you in danger... It's better this way. Love, Ben.'"
Max woke up and heard the thing. "Is this true, Gwen?" But just then, the TV turns on as both of them look at it. "The siege at the Police Training Center continues... Early reports say several officers have been injured." "Ben's gone. But I know where he is going. I got to go!" "Okay... Be careful!" Max states that he knows he is in no shape to fight, but trusts her tween granddaughter to help her cousin out. Gwen leaves the Hospital and sneaks on board an ambulance, the same one heading towards the Police Academy as it takes off and crawls into the back.
Rojo kept smashing and blasting up cars and the building as she caused chaos. But just then, a blue blur smacks her hard as XLR8 stops in front. "Hey, tech-head! Ready for round 3?" Rojo quickly grabs the alien's leg, slams him on the ground, and kicks him into a car. "If he wants his Ultimatrix, he can have it! This is getting fun." "'He'? Who's he?" XLR8 mumbles out in confusion at what she said. He quickly dodges the lasers as he kicks her in the torso. "One good kick deserves another! I always say!" He then zips around back, and tail whacks her hard.
Only for an armored tank to roll up and aim at the 2, but XLR8's reflexes speed him out of range as the heavily armored vehicle opens fire on Rojo. XLR8 watches the pillar of smoke as he expects Rojo to show up. Through it, the tank rolls up to him and stops. Suddenly Rojo, without a scratch on her, picks up the tank from underneath. as XLR8 widens his eyes slightly. "Nice try! But Speedy's all mine!" The driver quickly abandoned the tank as Rojo chucked it as XLR8 got out of the way, starting to deliver hard hits to Rojo as she barely kept up.
But she recovers and fires a beam that pushed XLR8 back. Just then, the ambulance finally showed up and the paramedics got out. 'Who needs help?" One paramedic asks as XLR8 and Rojo crash near them. When the dust of their fighting clears, Rojo holds XLR8 in her claws and drops him on the ground, walking towards the paramedics. They start running and she powers up a laser blast. Just then, Gwen opens the back door of the ambulance and peeks out.
"GWEN?!" Snatching his cousin and dropping her off at a hidden corner alley. XLR8 raises his visor as he hisses. "What are you doing here?! I told you to stay away from me!" Gwen frowns as she responds. "'Tennysons sticks together!' Sounds familiar?" BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP "So does that beeping!" FLASH "Well, that's just great!" Ben groans out from timing out.
"Come on!" Both kids ran off, just as Rojo caught up to them and started shooting as they ran into a training ground. As she passes by a large swing set with a target on the ground, the kids peek out from having hidden behind it, waiting for her to fly out of earshot as Gwen whispers. "Ben! You can't just run away from family." "Don't tell me what I can or can't do! This is my fight, my weird watch, not yours!" Ben frowns, just as Gwen places a hand on his shoulder with a smile. "Yeah... But you're my cousin, remember?" Just for an explosion to cut her off as they peek out to Rojo blasting something, giving them a chance to break for the Gym.
As they run past the equipment, Gwen's phone goes off as she answers. "It's for you." Ben takes it and is greeted by his grandfather's voice. "Grandpa? Not a good time! I'm dealing an indestructible robot-thing none of my aliens can take out!" "Ben... If you can't overpower her from the outside, try taking her down from the inside. She's part machine, right? And one of your aliens happens to be good at technology." At his grandfather's advice, Ben's eyes widened in realization as there was an alien who could deal with machines! And he's not talking about Grey Matter! "You're right! Thanks, Grandpa!" The boy hung up in response.
But just as he dials the glove, Rojo's sense goes off as she flies over to the gym and starts blasting through the roof, before Ben can even transform. They hide behind a column, as Ben selects Upgrade and slaps down on the dial. FLASH
Tech lines spread from the glove as they engulfed the 10-year-old's being. The boy felt his eyes merging into one as his bones vanished as well. He spins around and poses as he raises his fists, just as the watch symbol flashes from his chest.
Rojo lands in the gym and looks around, as Gwen watches from behind a weight set as the cyborg woman readies a laser as she walks past the tween. But unbeknownst to her, Upgrade is hiding on the ceiling as he leaps down and catches her by surprise, melding with Rojo as she struggles to get him off. As the 2 struggle, electricity starts surging as it zaps Upgrade, electrocuting him as he feels like his being is being sent somewhere.
As Ben recovers, he notices he is back to human form, only floating in the same void as the boy was confused, looking around, just as he felt something behind. But as the kid glances back, he cries out in shock as the being narrows his red eyes as the scared out of his mind pre-teen. "Listen to my words, child! Be afraid... You can't run from me. I will find your home planet. And I will find you, boy! And when I do, I will retrieve what was once mine that has been stolen and if you dare get in my way, I will make you suffer!" The being cries out as he goes to swallow Ben whole!
Upgrade notices he's back to fighting with Rojo as she tore him off, smashing him into a pillar as he groans out. He quickly dodges a laser blast and slips into a puddle, merging with a nearby workout machine as he stretches his limbs out. "Time to work out!" He slams Rojo into him a few times and then merges with a treadmill, shooting her into some equipment. Upgrade then dodges duel laser blasts as he counters with his eye beam, pushing Rojo back with each blast.
But just then, Gwen noticed some police SWAT members enter as she cried out. "DUCK!" Doing so to avoid one laser beam, they open fire on Rojo, keeping her distracted so Upgrade can tackle her. "Now... This won't hurt a bit." He said as he merged with the cyborg biker, making sparks fly as he then separated. "Get out of me!" "Okay... I lied a bit."
But just as Rojo stands up, she is surprised to see her machine parts break off, reverting her to Human as she gazes at herself. "You... Made me normal?" " Abnormal is more like it, but close enough." Upgrade shrugs out. "Look! I don't know what came over me, I was just following that guy's order to get him out of my head! You got to believe me! I'm just a girl."
Spotting her laser cannon, she flips it up and aims at Upgrade, only for Gwen to cry out. "And so am I!" Rojo looks back, just as Gwen hits her hard with a roundhouse kick to the head, knocking her out. But just then, the building starts falling apart as the structure is giving out! "Gwen! We need to leave!" Upgrade grabs Rojo as they both run out, making it as the gym collapses into a pile of rubble. "She's all yours, officers." Upgrade states as he hands the rouge biker to the police as he and Gwen then take off, heading back to the Hospital to Grandpa Max.
Max hobbles on crutches as he is discharged from the Hospital and sniffs the fresh air as both kids smile at him. "So nice to be back on the road." As they head towards the RV, Gwen notices Ben is quiet, which is unusual for him. "Hey, bro. I was wondering, what happened between you and cyberbriker? You looked possessed." "I don't know... It was like... When I was Upgrade, I saw this large unknown alien." Max opens the door.
"We were both floating in space, and he was talking to me. I didn't get a good look, cause he was covered in shadows, but he had these glowing red eyes that seemed to spook me. He said that he wants to find my home world and he wants something back that I stole from him... But the thing is, I never stolen anything from any alien at all!" "Hmm... We better keep our guard up, just in case. But maybe it was just a miscommunication between you 2?" Max ponders out. "Yeah... I guess." Ben can't help but look up into the sky, wondering what that figure wants and why it thinks he's a thief.
Meanwhile, in deep space, the same shadowed figure stares out into the empty void from a spaceship's window as he narrows his red eyes as they glow in the darkness. "Now that I managed to extract the coordinates to where the Ultimatrix has been, I can finally retrieve my lost power. I'm coming for your planet, child... And I will retrieve what was once mine..." The being snarls out as it walks away. One thing is for certain, something dangerous is coming to Earth. And it's out for Ben Tennyson and his family. But what was the thing Ben has that the alien wants?
