大将軍ブドーを倒す
Kill the Great General Budo
THE MAID SLOWLY opened the wooden double doors before she turned to the duo, "Once we get inside we have to be very quiet."
"Okay," Lubbock acknowledged. Ben nodded.
From far away, this large mountain of greatness, an Olympus Mons for all the world to behold. Ben was impressed by the architectural design of it. It was well kept and orderly, much like other authoritarian house of operations unfortunately. Once inside, it was even grander. Ben's eyes crossed over from one area of the site to another. Though, from all the things he went through, this Emerald City hid a fraud...a team of homicidal frauds. His face was blank as he and Lubbock were chauffeured through the palace in secrecy.
"I gotta say, I'm surprised a high class lady like you would be part of the resistance," Lubbock said.
"My father was one of the Emperor's instructor's, but the Minister accused him of having ulterior motives against the Empire. So he threw my father and my mother in prison," she said.
"Well now I get it," Lubbock said.
"The more I hear about this Minister guy, the more I want to go Humungasaur on him and rip him to shreds," said Ben.
"I thought you said you don't kill," Lubbock joked.
"Having some broken bones and a missing limbs won't be considered killing in my book. Think of it as: beating the evil outta ya," Ben said with jocularity earning nLubbock;s slight chuckle. "That aside, that pretty means that there are plenty more people inside of this palace that happen to support the revolution."
"Yes," The Maid said plainly, "They've united under a group of anti-Minister bureaucrats who stay in close contact with the Revolutionary Army."
"And it's up to us to help those guys get the Revolutionaries to gather from the inside once the seige of the palace actually goes down."
"Sounds like a plan," Ben said.
"We were chosen for this job because of my stealth and your Big Chill's invisibility. We can't screw up," Lubbock stated, both nodding in agreement as the Maid opened the gate, prompting them that it was okay for them to come right on in.
They hid behind the bush eyeing on a small pantheon looking building sitting in the middle of the courtyard in the bright sunny day. Ben, ironically enough, felt a nervous tinge in his stomach. Probably form his training from Akame or the fact that his natural danger signals started to act up.
~I don't know about this~ Ben thought.
"This is it," The Maid said.
"Hold it," Ben said, "What if this is a trap. What if someone from higher up caught up something you were doing and was using this location as bait?" Ben asked.
"What makes you think that?" The Maid asked.
"Call it a hunch," Ben asked.

When they finally got close, the Maid, before she knocked, took a double tap before she softly knocked on the door.
KNOCK. KNOCK.
She then waited for a few seconds before she noticed something was wrong. She backed up a little bit.
"What's going on?" Ben asked.
"Something's wrong. Whenever I knock twice, they suppose to respond with a password knock," she answered.
Then something grim caught Lubbock's eye. A pool of blood seeped from behind the door.
"Stand back," Lubbock said, pushing the Maid back. Ben guarded her as his arm was raised where the Ultimatrix lied. His mind already thinking on programming one of his heavy hitters.
Lubbock opened the door, already feeling for the worst. And to his shock, he saw a grim sight. He opened the door, a dark look of terror and fear: a carpet of dead bodies swimming in a pool of blood. Lacerated, gouged, stabbed, destroyed.
"Jesus Christ," Ben said, trying hard not to hurl. He had seen disturbing things before, but nothing like this. He froze upon seeing the lacerated bodies lying on the floor. It was a barbaric sight. The Maid backed away upon seeing the horror.
"This isn't looking good guys; they already found the hideout!" Lubbock said.
Suddenly, the bodies started to inflate, glowing red hot.
"Get out now!" Lubbock cried.
BOOM! The pantheon building blew up in a blaze of fire. A mountain of fire and smoke rose in the air in a hellish blaze.
As the fire continued to burn, Ben and Lubbock got up from the ground from the initial blast only for them to be surrounded by guys in cloaks and masks. Lubbock readied his Imperial Arms and Ben activated his Ultimatrix, programming Echo Echo.
Then a disturbing, psychotic chuckle caught the duo's attention.
"Took you long enough; I've been waiting forever!" whined the man.
They turned and saw a bulky young man with tan skin, golden eyes and pale lilac hair. He had a noticeable X-shaped scar on his face and a crown-like headgear similar to the Minister's. He wore a white, skintight shirt that revealed his toned stomach and white pants.
"Hate to be the one to break it to you, but I had to eliminate all those idiots with the 'resistance'," continued the man, "You may call em The Great Syura."
The Maid got up, her fear heightened as Ben and Lubbock took the offensive stance to protect her.
"You must really love the smell of your own dick, do ya buddy?" Ben asked with a smirk, irritating the Prime Minister's son quite a bit.
"Heh, so you must be the little shit Esdeath been blobbering about when I sent her to that deserted island or whatever and the little 'threat' Seryu has been preaching against," Syura said.
"So that was you who sent off all those monsters on those people," Ben said, his tone turning serious, "Why'd you do it?"
"Why do anything? Because it is amusing young man!" he smiled maliciously, leaning forward, giving Ben the creeps. He had seen people this twisted, but nothing like this before. This was a whole 'nother level of evil. "There's nothing in this world that bothers me more than being bored! And those creatures kept me well...entertained."
"Okay you little psychopath, you wanna play rough? I'll play rough! It's hero time!" Ben said activating the Ultimatrix and slamming the dial down, blinding the guys in a flash of emerald green light. And when the light died down stood the familiar orange dinosaur with the Ultimatrix crest on its chest.
"HUMUNGASAUR!" Humungasaur shouted as he started charging towards the apathetic Syura.
"Ben wait!" Lubbock called.
Humungasaur continued to charge towards the young man until a large bolt of lightning separated him and the Prime Minister's son.
Towering over the guys was a tall and muscular middle-aged man with spiky blond hair with two longer bangs resembling horns and blue eyes. He wore a black, skintight top with long sleeves, a grey armor with his feared Imperial Arms, Adramelech, white pants, and a red cloak. His shoulder guards were notably large and have yellow tomoe markings on them. He had a look of a man who had seen a lot of battles...a lot of death. A man who takes his job all too seriously. He didn't look like a General by that respect. This was a warrior who should not be trampled with.
Just because Ben had transformed into his toughest form yet, even he had to stand in fear from the towering presence of this force of nature.
He cratered the ground as he made his first step into court, crushing the ground like an overwhelming Olympian god.
"Oh crap," Humungasaur said.
"Just as I thought, the rats have found their way in," boomed the man.
"Oh, I'm alwaysb up for a visit from my Uncle Budo. How about you handle the pipsqueak," Surya said.
"Exactly what I had in mind," said Budo.
He walked forward towards Humungasaur with no fear, no curiosity, just a man on a mission. "I am known as Budo. His majesty, the Emperor granted me the title of Great General," he claimed.
~I heard rumors of this monster~ Ben said ~I need to set this thing to Ultimate before this guy does a number on me. Humungasaur can last but so much against a guy like this. I have to think smart. Akame and Gwen had always preached to me about fighting smarter and not harder. I need to think of a form to counteract his powers. But which one would be efficient. Come on Ben. What would Sheele do? Well...Sheele would just charge in and swing on people. Okay, what would Akame do?~ Humungasaur thought.
"You are villainous trash threatening the Empire. You are finished!" Budo unveiled his armored suit underneath his red cloak. "Now face your judgement and feel the wrath of the Lightning God Adramelech!"
With a split of a second, Budo launched a powerful punch to Humungasaur's chest, pushing him backwards.
"Benjamin!" Lubbock hurried to Ben's aid.
Humungasaur slid backwards and caught his balance. He got back to his kata, his thoughts thinking negative.
"How'd he do that? He didn't even touched me!" Humungasaur grunted as blood seeped out of his mouth; he spat it out, his eyes never leaving the armed General as he slowly marched towards Humungasaur.
"Impressive. Not many men could take on my attack head on and live. I see determination in your eyes," Budo commented.
"Looks like I need more firepower to take you down, buddy," Humungasaur said, "You see in my line of work,a friend of mine told me to fight smarter and not harder. Since I got here I've been doing nothing but flex my powers. But I think its time I take things to the next level. Buddy, it's time that you meet a good friend!"
Humungasaur slapped the Ultimatrix crest on his chest blinding everyone in a flash of emerald green light, when the light died down came a bipedal tiger with black sharp claws with a nasty attitude.
"RATH!" Rath shouted, without saying another word, he immediately slapped the dial down again, this time four spikes popped out of the crest surrounding the tiger in purple rings morphing Rath to a creature with dark pink skin and white fur with red stripes. He was covered by fur everywhere except on his feet, hands, chest, neck, and most of his lower jaw. He had red bandages on his elbows, forearms, and wrists, and the ones on his wrists have three small red spikes on them. He had two giant claws on his hands, and his fingers and toes now have smaller claws. He also had giant claws coming out from his elbows.
He wore green shorts with a black belt that had silver spikes and a silver buckle. He also had a green coat with emerald green eyes and four yellow fangs.. He had three giant red spikes on his back that were covered by his coat's hood, which was made up of long, thick, black fur. His face was white with flipped up hair and sideburns, and his eyebrows were now black and Ultimatrix crest was emblemized on his chest.
"ULTIMATE RATH!" Ultimate Rath shouted with a slight snarl in his voice. He was wilder, and more violent prone than the regular Rath.
Budo stood there in wonderment, though he shook out of that quickly. Lubbock had a smug smiule, already knew that this fight was already over before it even began. He wanted to warn Budo, but no, he just want to be a dick about it and just watch the entertainment unfold.
"LET ME TELL YA FIVE THINGS GREAT GENERAL BUDO OF AN EMPIRE THAT HAS NO NAME FOR SOME REASON! ONE: ULTIMATE RATH IS GONNA KICK YOUR BUTT. TWO: ULTIMATE RATH IS GONNA RIP YOUR BUTT IN HALF, COOK IT, BATHE IT IN SAKE, AND FEED IT TO AKAME FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES! THREE: ULTIMATE RATH IS REKT THIS TOWN INTO PIECES. FOUR: ULTIMATE RATH IS GONNA BODY YOU INTO THAT GROUND AND MAKE YOU KISS IT! AND FIVE: ULTIMATE RATH IS GONNA KICK YOUR BUTT!" Ultimate Rath shouted.
"Hold on, don't hog the fun!" Lubbock charged over towards Ultimate Rath to join in to the fight only for him to be sucker punched by Syura from out of nowhere, pushing him backwards. He blocked the strike but his reaction was of one of shock.
He landed on the ground, taking a few unbalanced paces away from the Prime Minister's son. "What? How'd he do that?" Lubbock asked, still in the state of shock.
Syura, with a cocky grin on his face gestured to come forth to fight. "Ooh, I think you're gonna be a fun one to mess around with," he said, turning to the men around him, "Leave him to me boys, this precious little victim is all mine!" he said showing off what looked like a talisman in his hand.
Lubbock gritted his teeth as he growled, knowing that this wasn't gonna be a fight that he would win easily.

Esdeath stood over the tower of the ice wall covering a mountain of dead bodies like it was a trophy case. The bright blue day covered could barely cover the horror of her artistry in murder. "I quite enjoyed that," she said, "As one might expect, the atmosphere of the battlefield suits me better than bodyguard duty." she said as she turned around. Once she did, the ice wall cracked and broke, shattering like glass in dozens of millions of pieces. Carrying with it, dozens of broken limbs, heads, and the like.
She faced her faceless army as they all stood about face giving their General their undivided attention.
"It's time to return to the Capital!" she announced. She then turned away, a smile never leaving her face. ~It won't be long Night Raid~
BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10BEN10
Lubbock and Syura fought, trading blows with the Prime Minister's son throwing bladed darts at the green haired seamstress. He blocked the attack only to be met with the man's infamous disappearing act when he tried to lasso him with his metal seams.
Syura reappeared behind him in a grim stance. "Don't forget to look behind you, Night Raid," Syura said with jocularity; Lubbock took a fist to the face; taking it like a champ, he dipped, and did a few backflips to gain some distance away from the young sociopath.
Syura's eyes opened and saw that Lubbock's lower body was covered in a roll of metal seams.
"Well now, look what we have here! A seamstress?" he mocked.
"Oh, don't get such a pouty face! I'mma 'bout to share you a secret," Syura began, "I call this little toy, Shambhala!" he showed the human-sized pendant to Lubbock with little to no shame at all. Almost giddy. "It gives me the ability to teleport either myself or my adversaries..." he vanished in a flash of purple light then reappeared again behind Lubbock, but at a reasonable distance, while striking a flamboyant pose, "...to anywhere I left my pretty little mark!"
~He can manipulate space~ Lubbock noted, then a thought came to mind. A devious, yet risky, thought. ~I saw this before. All his bragging and showing off is really giving me an idea of his psyche. Disturbing, but predictable. This is nothing. Although, I may not be able to teleport like him, based on what I was told, Ben can also manipulate space as well, and reality. He's nothing special~ he grinned. ~He's as fragile as a wet board soaked in the middle of a jungle rain. Might as well break him~
Then the braggart finished, he injected some drugs into his neck, his eyes widened in a psychotic grin. His veins popped into his face like a monster. Probably because he was a monster.
"Then I found this juicy stuff in the Capital," he said as more and more of his marers started to appear everywhere around the palace, "It lets me cut loose if you will."
Suddenly, there was a sound of laughter. Syura was confused, his brow arched as Lubbock continued to laugh.
"Hey now, what's so funny?" Syura asked, offended.
"Oh...that's so cute," Lubbock said, "I seem to remember how you said a certain someone with a green jacket over yonder was nothing to fear of right? Well guess again," Lubbock continued, "You can manipulate space? Good for you. Have a cookie. Ben over there...yeah...he can manipulate reality. So to him, you're nothing than a little kid trying to play king," Lubbock teased.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY?!" Syura roared.
"You heard me," Lubbock doubled down, "Ben has more power in his pinkie toe than you ever would have. Not to dick ride the guy. If you and I were fighting, you'll die either way. If he fights you, well...you're gonna wish you were. A fate worse than death, am I right?" Lubbock mocked.
Syura growled.
"I HAVE MORE POWER ON THE TIP OF MY DICK THAN IN HIS ENTIRE FOOT YOU DISGUSTING COMMONER!" he shouted in pure rage, "I was about about to go easy on you, but you have no choice! Bon voyage! I'm gonna send you to the ends of the Earth!" He aimed the pendant at Lubbock, which glowed a bright indigo. The marker appeared right underneath Lubbock. From there, it scaled up, teleporting a terrified Lubbock to who knows where.
A/N: Okay, I'm gonna end the chapter here and conclude this arc in the next chapter where Ben fights Budo. Not Surya fights Budo, that was an error on my part.
