Three figures were illuminated by three bright lights inside of an otherwise pitch black room. One of them appearing similar to a humanoid fiddler crab with a gold and brown segmented armor, a sideways mouth, four scythe-like legs and a large, powerful pincer for a left hand. Within the pincer was a power blaster combined with a chemical sprayer. When he goes underground by spinning his legs, he retracts his head down, making his neck disappear. He had orange lines running over his body and his eyes had the same color as the highlights of his pincer.
The second one appearing a bit more humanoid with hooved feet. He possesses a black and purple armor that covered his entire body, his shoulder pads appearing to be digital as they had red markings on them, his helmet also had the same digital screen with red markings. He not only possessed multiple pouches on his waist, but a sword on his back and four indents on his body.
The last one was slim yet very muscular by appearances, wearing a full body black and dark get body suit detailing around the chest, black belt along worn black gloves and boots. His helmet appeared to be completely black and sort of segmented in a strange way with a single, upside down yellow triangular visor.
["Begin the Audition", a voice said over the intercom.
Suddenly, the lights activated and illuminated the entire area. Surrounding them were a variety of humanoid attack drones with the bug-like drones hovering above, some wielding bladed weaponry and others wielding bizarre weapons resembling rifles.
Within a split second, Kraab rushed forward and unseated a baton from his backside before decapitating over a dozen drones. Quickly lowering his head to avoid a blast from the drones only to respond back with his own energy beam from his massive claw and spun around to destroy another drone.
SixSix suddenly appeared behind Kraab, unsheathing a black hilt before a purple and white energy sword emerged. Before the droids attacked he effortlessly cleaved through them, flying into the air he dodged energy blasts before unleashing black cords from his back, violently wrapping around the flying drones before tearing right through them.
"Show off.", Kraab hisses.
SixSix sprouted another arm from his shoulder, handing his sword to it and sheathe. "Neuk je"
It was just then the droid that attacked Yosemite National Park emerged, however it was much much larger, nearly twice as tall and had to bend down to fit within the room. The Ronin looked up before dashing at incredible speeds for his size, appearing right behind the Mechadroid, moments passed before he simply stood straight. As he did, the mechadroid exploded violently from the damage he had done to it.
["Impressive, you are all hired."]
"Yeah yeah, you brought us here and we still have no fuckin clue what we're hunting down.", Kraab crossed his arms as the black screen blinked the life, the schematics of the Omnitrix appearing on screen.
["Master Vilgax believes you are the most capable of retrieving the Omnitrix. If you were to bring it in, you will be payed handsomely."]
"Consider it done.", the Ronin states in a deep, gravely voice.
Within an unspecified part of the desert bordering on Nevada and New Mexico, Alex popped his shoulders as he did routine stretches within the middle of a training course they had set up. Gwen was sitting to the side sunbathing while Ben himself was inside playing video games.
"You ready?", Max exclaimed, holding onto two levers out of a series of them. All connecting to different contraptions of the training course.
Alex just gave his simple thumbs up before activating the Omnitrix. He scrolled through the silhouettes before stopping at one, he slammed down and was immediately enveloped in a brief flash of green light. Deepcut popped his knuckles as he smirked. "Let's do this."
"Dont try to muscle it! Might isn't always right!", Max exclaimed hoping to get Alex to actively apply himself beyond hit hard.
"Yeah yeah, that doesn't mean I don't find fun in it.", Deepcut states as his arm began to morph into a stump consisting of a cluster of sharp crystals. Max pulled a lever, launching a few dozen empty soda cans that were immediately shredded apart before he shot another pair of shards from his arms at targets that dropped from the ground.
Quickly forming a blade from his foot, he roundhouse kicked an incoming tire before shooting at wooden targets from afar. Proceeding to shred through cacti with ease soon after, snapping his hands back into their regular shape, he just smirked. "Maybe I should've gotten more crazy stuff like some boulders."
"Show off.", Gwen rolled her eyes before rubbing her arms with sunscreen.
"Hey, if you got it, flaunt it!", Deepcut flexed before being whacked with a heavy tire he stole from a truck, causing him to reactively shoot out crystals from his fingers. As Ben came outside, he immediately ducked underneath the crystals as Gwen and Max dropped to the floor.
"Watch it!", Ben exclaimed.
"Oh, oops."
Max let out a sigh as he took that as their sign to leave and continue their trip, it was enough for now. After helping Gwen put away the chair, they set off down the road. The obstacle course slowly shrinking away before disappearing.
"Good going rockhead, you almost turned us into Swiss cheese.", Gwen hissed as Alex looked through the fridge.
"Yeah man, you almost knicked me with those shards.", Ben also proclaimed slightly annoyed at that the first time he actively wanted to step outside was when he was nearly going to get a diamond shard through the head.
"Aye, let bygones be bygones. I didn't mean to do it anyways, plus the course was getting boring.", Alex said yawning as he noticed there was nothing he'd want at the moment, prompting him to close the fridge. "Cut me some slack."
"You need to take that thing on your wrist more seriously, Alex.", Max looked at him through the rear view window. "It's not a toy, you've gotta think before you start using it."
"Oh yeah I know that, but why should I when nobody so far is even a challenge for me anyways?", Alex shrugged.
Gwen smirked as she rested her head in her hand. Y'know, one day you're gonna get your own butt kicked and I'm hope I'm there to watch."
Alex yawned before sitting down. "Until that happens, I'll keep fucking around as much as I want."
"Yeah I don't think you're gonna be good at being a superhero.", Ben stated squinting at him.
Before Alex could give any sarcastic rebuttal, there was some... not very pleasant sounds coming from the Rust Bucket. To which caused Max to tense up and cringe from the rather expensive sounding noises. "That doesn't sound very good..."
The three bounty hunters overlooked the mock training site, the Ronin having a device in his hand that continually beeped while pointing to that area. "This is where the Omnitrix was last active.", using his hoverboard he sped down quickly.
"Te denken dat zo'n apparaat een zielige vuilbol is.", SixSix uttered in his native tongue before flying down to investigate.
"You can say that again, a rock pile like this is better off space dust.", Kraab mocks before he followed the other two, his massive claw preparing to fire at anything that moves. "Anything of value down here?"
SixSix looked at him, hovering in the air. "Is dat een oprechte vraag?"
"Save the sarcasm, we don't have time for that.", The Ronin looked at the cans, picking up one of them that was pierced by a crystalline shard. "I've got something.", he uttered before a wire wrapped around the can and tore it away from his hand.
SixSix stood there and held the can in his hands, analyzing it. "Doe jezelf een plezier en blijf uit mijn buurt."
Kraab just laughed, slapping his smaller hand against one of his knees. "Ah, big talk from a guy with a massive superiority complex."
The Ronin strode towards SixSix, grabbing him by the neck as he burned through him with just his glare. "If you ever get in my way again, I'm taking your face off."
SixSix freed himself from his grasp, mumbling something in his alien tongue. The pack on his back began to transform, two thrusters emerging from the bottom as he popped his neck. "Ik zou je graag zien proberen.", he states confidently before flying away.
"Well that was entertaining, now if you don't mind, I have a bounty to catch first.", Kraab remarked as his legs began spinning rapidly, drilling into the ground and vanishing into the depths.
The darkly clad bounty hunter just walked forward, accidentally tripping one of the obstacles. Quickly spinning around and shooting it with a small, , the energy encompassed the entire obstacle course within seconds. Leaving nothing but a charred spot where it originally was. The Ronin pulled off an orb on his belt, squeezing it and transforming it into a disc like shape before it extended out into a board.
Letting it hover over the ground, he stepped onto it before zooming away at high speeds from the site.
The Rust Bucket had pulled over into a long since abandoned mining town, roughly similar to those from the California Gold Rush era. Max of course was using a built in flashlight in his prosthetic, smiling as he pulled something out. "Found out our issue was a bit of a leaky fuel line.", Max states as he held his fuel line that had a small diamond shard piercing it.
Gwen and Ben looked at Alex. "Aye my bad ya'll."
"You're exactly like your grandpa, you know that?", Max stated with a frown before looking at the fuel line. "It'll take a bit to actually repair this, but luckily I always have some spares just in case."
"I can always go Overclock and fix it for you.", Alex shrugs.
"Thank you but that's not needed, should just take a few minutes.", Max said with a casual wave.
"Y'know while you're at it, can I check this place out, Grandpa?", Ben asked eagerly.
"Go ahead, just don't go too far okay sport?", Max nodded to this and looked at Alex, who gave a thumbs up.
Ben smiled before walking off, Alex spinning on his heel and walking with him. Once the two were a bit out of earshot, Max looked at Gwen before she also gave a nod. Trailing off after them, of course it didn't take her long to find where they had trailed off to... mainly due to a bright green flash and the smell of smoke coming from a building behind her.
Gwen walked in and was immediately floored by the sight. Ben was holding a plank of wood over Sunburn's head which ignited the wood, but the fire emanating from the burning wood was immediately absorbed back into Sunburn. "... what in the world are you two doofuses up to?", Gwen asked genuinely confused.
"Science experiment.", Ben stated. "We're trying to see if Heatblast can actually taste fire."
"It's Sunburn but whatever."
Gwen tilted her head as the wood fell apart. "How's that working out?"
"Well.. it tastes like smoked bacon if that answers it.", Sunburn said with a smile forming on his masked like face.
"See? I can do smart things.", Ben said extremely proud of himself for this. Gwen was going to rebuke it... but she had to admit, it was a good experiment. Plus, he looked proud of himself and she surprisingly didn't want to ruin it.
Of course, this was soon ruined by the rumbling, Gwen and Ben were immediately standing behind the seven foot tall humanoid as he entered a boxing stance. The rumbling ceased as something bursted through the ground, Kraab landing with his eyes glowing through the dust. "Of all the life forms that are rumored to be in that device, of course I had to encounter the worst of them all."
"You the guy that's been sending those drones after me?", Sunburn asked as he looked at Kraab up and down.
"No, but the guy who wants you dead did. You must be the monkey that found the Omnitrix, I'm impressed a lowly Homosapien managed to actually turn it on so I'll give ya one chance.", Kraab said as he lifted up his gigantic claw. "Give up the Omnitrix, and you won't suffer... much."
"He's after the watch?", Ben raised an eyebrow as Gwen was equally as surprised.
"I'm gonna be hearing that for the rest of my life aren't I?", Sunburn thought to himself with an annoyed expression. "Sorry, lobster boy but the watch and I are very attached."
Kraab simply tilted his head. "You have no idea who you're messing with."
"I was just about to say the same thing.", Sunburn smirked before he began to gather fire around his hand. "Get the hell outta here.", Alex muttered to the two children behind him.
"What? No way!", despite his powerlessness, Ben refused to run away. Which was quickly responded by Gwen grabbing his wrist.
"We gotta go and tell grandpa!", Gwen exclaimed as Ben frowned, Sunburn again gestured them to leave. To which they finally did.
"Oh-hoh, now this is gonna be good.", Kraab chuckled before Sunburn quickly unleashed a powerful ball of fire at the crustacean-like bounty hunter.
Against the desired effect, Kraab rushed over pulling out his baton and swing it right at his head which completely missed as Sunburn had moved his head underneath. Blocking the proceeding swing of his giant robotic claw, being up close, Sunburn smirked as he placed a hand on his chest, blasting Kraab back forcefully.
Sinking his legs into the ground to stabilize himself, Kraab growled before unleashing beams of electrical energy at the pyronite. Alex propelled himself up with a blast of fire, quickly maneuvering away from another blast as performed a mid air spinning kick, sending a barrage of blades made of fire at Kraab who simply batted these away. Which was quickly met with the being made of magma attempting to drop kick him.
"Moron.", Kraab muttered before grabbing him with his giant claw and slamming him against the ground. "Predictable, all you Pyronites are the same. Too arrogant for their own good."
"Go choke on a loaf of sourdough you bitch.", Sunburn rolled his eyes before unleashing a torrent of fire from his mouth. Quickly kicking Kraab away and flipping back up, digging his fat fingers into the tough dirt and throwing it right at Kraab who quickly sidestepped the moment the dirt landed on the wood, which quickly exploded.
Kraab dusted off the soot gathering around his armor before blocking a kick to his head with his baton, quickly striking Sunburn back with his giant claw. "Give it up human, we're a bad match. My body is specially designed to deal with your kind."
"That so?", Sunburn smirked as blades made of flames emerged from the gaps between his fingers. "Let's see about that."
Outside Max was waiting patiently, of course he couldn't intervene without exposing himself to Gwen and Ben. So instead, he had a device that would release an EMP if things went south. "He doesn't have much time, he's been at it for a few minutes.", Max scowled before he took a step forward.
And just like that, Kraab was sent soaring away by a blast of fire accompanied by multiple rocks. Sunburn sliding along the dirt propelling himself with bursts of fire, leaping into the air and hit Kraab with an elbow drop that forced him right back down to the ground.
Sunburn immediately kicked Kraab away, using his flames to propel his foot faster and send the bounty hunter sliding away. Right as the white of the Omnitrix began flashing red with its beeping following soon after.
"Alex! Lets go!"
"Yeah I heard you.", Sunburn sprinted forward, the red flash erupting and Alex exiting in his default form. "Was gonna do that anyways.", he stated, very much lying about it as he entered the Rust Bucket, Max quickly jumping behind and closing the door shut, mere seconds after that it roared to life and sped off.
The Rust Bucket sped down the empty desert road, the abandoned mining town vanishing into the distance, Gwen looking out of the window of the booth she sat in. "No sign of the giant crab yet."
"Well he better not show up if he knows what's good for em.", Ben said as he confidently patted Alex's shoulder, as he was tiring a pencil in his hand. "Right?"
"I'm actually hoping for that guy to get back, I wanna melt that armor off and see what's inside.", Alex hissed before snapping the pencil in his hand, to which, Ben simply scooted away.
A loud thud was heard ontop of the Rust Bucket, following this was a buzz saw ripping through the metal before SixSix spread the opening apart. "Daar ben je!", he yelled out
"You were saying", Gwen looked at Alex with a worried expression.
"Doesn't count, so shut up!", Alex exclaimed as SixSix grabbed at his shirt collar and yanked him up, to which Alex coughed at the collar pressing against his throat. "Help! Genuinely!"
The two children were in a frantic panic as they had no idea what to do or how to help, but thankfully, the Rust Bucket stopped abruptly. The speed it was going at gathered enough momentum to launch SixSix off the RV, to which Max followed up by running him over.
"Thanks."
"You can thank me later.", the elderly man said before he heard a gut wrenching sound of metal scratching against the hard asphalt. Max quickly got out and noticed the tires were shredded.
"What now?", Gwen asked with a terrified expression as SixSix was slowly getting up.
Max looked around before his eyes landed on the entrance of an old mine, which could've been connected to the town they had visited earlier. "Quick, in there!"
Finally regaining his bearings after being hit with an abnormally tough Earth vehicle, he saw them enter the tunnel and a missile launcher popped out of his shoulder. "De premie is van mij!"
Before he could though, his scanners picked up abnormal seismic activity below him. Immediately following this, Kraab leapt out of the ground. "Remember me?!", he exclaimed before landing on-top of SixSix, quickly electrocuting him with his giant claw to stun him for a moment.
They sprinted through the carved in tunnels of the mine for a few minutes, up until they had arrived near exit and out into a much larger area of the mine. Ben peered around the dark corner and pulled away. "Coast is clear."
Seconds later, Kraab bursted from the ground.
"I blame that on you.", Alex stated with an annoyed expression.
"The Omnitrix, hand it over!", Kraab exclaimed as the two kids backed away, Max lifted up a part of a palette before throwing it at him. He effortlessly batted this away with his giant claw.
Kraab let out an annoyed snarl as he realized it was just a short distraction as the three children and the elderly man had ran off. Barely catching the shoes of Max before it vanished, with this head start they managed to escape deeper into the mine and into an open area with a massive chasm in their path.
Gwen looked down with a nervous expression. "Now what?"
Max looked around, noticing a cable car that was luckily still at their end of the chasm. "We hitch a ride.", he says as he runs over to the lever, Alex helping Ben and Gwen inside before hopping in himself.
Using his cybernetic arm, he gripped the lever tightly as he could hear the metal clanking that Kraab was making with his steps. Finally pulling it, the cable car quickly began to move away, with Max barely making it onto the edge where Alex and Ben pulled him on.
"What a disgusting excuse for prey, and here I thought I was gonna have fun.", Kraab shook his head and aimed his giant claw at the cable before being shot at by SixSix, who flew over his body and towards the cable car as he opened fire.
"We got company!", Gwen stated as she immediately ducked the moment SixSix tried firing at her.
"We need a plan and fast.", Max looked at Alex who was already in the process of selecting an alien.
"I got this, trust me.", Alex said with a smirk as he slammed down on the Omnitrix's dial, Max was about to object when Deepcut leapt over and tackled SixSix mid air, his knuckles forming spikes as he began beating on his armored head viciously.
SixSix grabbed his arm with impressive strength before being met with a head butt. He quickly reeled back and threw him onto one of the platforms lining the walls. "Alex! Let's go!" Max exclaimed as Deepcut stood up and popped his neck.
"I'll meet up with you soon.", Deepcut grinned as he layered another few crystal spikes on his other knuckles before charging in at SixSix, throwing a wild haymaker at him which was effortlessly evaded with SixSix immediately striking him in his face. He quickly countered with by pushing him back and punching him again.
Deepcut was met with a strike to his back by Kraab, the latter immediately maneuvered away from a wild backhand as SixSix flew in and kicked him forward into a straight jab by Kraab. Gritting his teeth, he began throwing jabs at Kraab who countered with his massive claw, right as SixSix was going to attack, Deepcut spun around and shot a crystal projectile at his chest.
SixSix quickly caught this only to be met with a vicious gut punch that knocked the wind out of him. "Afschuwelijk!", SixSix blasted him back as Kraab laughed, back handing him right back to SixSix who had quickly recollected himself. Swiftly kicking him in the stomach that caused him to lurch forward into a jab which lead straight into an uppercut. With this knocking him back, he strikes him with a spinning roundhouse kick that knocked him into the rocky wall.
SixSix aimed a set of weapons that unfolded through various compartments in his suit at Deepcut, before he could fire, Kraab knocked him back. "Back off, you freak that reward is rightfully mine!"
SixSix simply scoffed at this, his weapons folding back up. "Alsjeblieft, denk je dat ik een walgelijke veteraan ga laten gaan dat de Pyros-oorlog het eigenlijk aanneemt?"
"I don't want to hear anything from you, you mangled abomination-", Before Kraab could continue, they were immediately hit with a giant pillar of crystal from Deepcut who had used his back crystals to make such a cluster.
Pulling himself off, he rubbed his chest. "Sorry to interject in your lovers quarrel. But damn, does anyone else want a piece of me?", Deepcut asked rhetorically but was immediately grabbed by his back crystal by a speeding object.
He breezed by a tunnel before being tossed violently into a few mine carts. "Billions of life forms on this planet, and the Omnitrix just so happens to fall into the hands of some impulsive youth.", the Ronin coldly states before hopping off his hoverboard.
Deepcut shook his head and stood up with an annoyed snarl. "Like I told your fuckass friends over there, I've already tried taking it off, didn't work, might as well deal with it."
"Of course you can't just take it off.", almost as if he was intentionally doing it, The Ronin turned around, which Deepcut immediately starting turning his arm into a blade. "It bonds with the host on a genetic level, you can't just remove it like a piece of fabric."
Quickly turning to the side, he immediately changed the direction of Deepcut straight stab with his hand and punched him quickly in the chest with so much force it actually knocked the air out of him, instantly following up with a spinning back kick. Deepcut groaned as he pulled himself out of the destroyed mine carts.
"Such a shame, other individuals like yourself always have astonishing potential as warriors yet they overestimate themselves, they get arrogant, they get sloppy.", the Ronin stated looking at Deepcut slowly stand up. "They never think before they act, simply brute forcing their way to victory without any regards of the consequences."
"I managed to hold my own against those two morons back there pretty well. Give me a few more minutes and I would've gotten it.", Deepcut stated with an annoyed scowl.
"True, but that is only because they underestimated your combative capabilities and thus weren't ready for how you fought. But now, they do not intend to make the same mistake twice.", the Ronin casually states. "Realistically, you have no shot in beating them as you currently are."
Deepcut said nothing as his arms morphed into blades as he rushed in at the Ronin, who effortlessly used a single arm the entire time as he swung at him. Casually deflecting each swing and pushing him back with twice the force. "You were moments away from losing your life, as well as the Omnitrix. Victory should take no energy, swift and effortless, yet you wasted time.", he states before backhanding Deepcut to the ground. "The device you hold isn't a mere toy for you to run around with, it's the deciding factor in a decisive battle between good and evil."
"And whose side are you on?"
"It should be obvious, as you are now, I could kill you without any trouble. And here you are.", Alex didn't know why, but the way the Ronin said it, it felt as if he was smiling. "My mission is to retrieve the Omnitrix at all costs, and as you are currently its host organism, I will be taking you back for extraction. Don't worry, as of now it won't be as painful."
"Ah because you asked so nicely, I'll go.", Deepcut states before tackling the Ronin to the ground before he was quickly kicked back up. The armored bounty hunter hooked the spike at the back of his head with his foot and threw him back.
Quickly standing up, the Ronin dusted his suit off. "It's disgusting how little you know of this aliens strengths and weaknesses, you've barely even scratched the surface of its true capabilities."
Deepcut rubbed the back of his head. "You must be such an expert if you're talking so much shit.", he states as the Ronin's helmet released steam, the front plate slowly sliding into his chest piece before the hood folded back. Revealing his face to be similar in structure to his own, however he was a much darker blue with small, cyan colored eyes and deep cuts into his crystalline hide. "Oh shit, you're... like me?"
"Horrifically incorrect, I am a noble warrior of a once great race. You on the other hand are an arrogant hothead.", the Ronin states before aggressively poking his chest. At the same time, the characteristic beeping rang out before he was enveloped in a red flash, leaving him in his human form and the Ronin aggravated. "We have wasted far too much time."
Without much warning, Alex was quickly picked up by his head. "Ow- watch it you motherfucker that hurts!"
"Don't be too hasty now.", Kraab calmly states as he kicked the hoverboard and firmly placed his foot on it, holding a squirming Ben in a chokehold with his regular sized arm. "You're not leaving this planet with the Omnitrix, and just to be sure."
SixSix appeared around the corner with Max held by his neck with one arm and Gwen being held by the collar of her shirt with a much smaller, more grotesque appearing arm.
"Let me go!"
"Hands off!"
"We decided to settle our differences and thought it would be much better to just split the reward, and you both in half.", Kraab states casually as his massive claw opened up and began opening fire on them. To which the Ronin used his body to shield the human child he still held by the head.
He bursted into a nearby building and threw Alex to the side. "Stay in here, I will deal with them."
"Bullshit, I'm coming out there too. I know those people you jackass!", Alex exclaimed as he noticed the Omnitrix was still recharging.
"As you are now, you will be effortlessly overpowered and captured. The obvious choice is to retrieve my Hoverboard so we may escape off world.", the crystal ronin states as he pushed Alex aside.
Kraab was still firing at the same spot as SixSix let out a sight. "Je weet dat je echt goed moet richten?"
"Shut up, I know what I'm doing jackass.", Kraab spat back with annoyance before SixSix was punched back by an extending fist belonging to the Ronin. Kraab quickly turned his head back around only to be met with a drop kick that forced him to release Ben, who quickly joined and hid with Max and Gwen.
Activating his hoverboard, he quickly sped at the two and clothesline the both of them. Stepping off he effortlessly caught an incoming missile and threw it back at SixSix who quickly evaded this. Kraab pulled out his baton and started swinging at the larger figure.
Despite his size and mass, he was still effortlessly dodging their attacks before quickly countering with a crystal projection from his fingers. These knocked SixSix back as Kraab closed in for a swing with his larger claw only to be countered by a vicious backhand.
Alex watched this happened, analyzing how he moved for a later day as he heard a set of beeps to signal the Omnitrix had finished recharging. Before charging in, Alex remembered what Max and the Ronin has told him prior, which caused him to back away from the giant hole in the building and hid behind a table.
Crouching down, Alex scratched his chin. "My original approach didn't work that well, which means I need to try again with something else. Outmaneuvering them? Maybe, but Max had said TopGear uses electromagnetic frequencies to keep balance. That's a no... maybe their armor, they both do have a lot of tech on them... actual tech too. But Overclock would deal with the same issue... maybe I need to get under their radar... yeah. I got it.", after analyzing his previous mistakes, he activated the Omnitrix and quickly scrolled through his aliens before stopping at a bizarre looking silhouette.
The eruption of the green flash alerted Kraab, who had been once again knocked away. Taking this opportunity, he entered the structure Alex had been hiding in and looked around. "Come on out, you little meat bag."
Hiding on the wooden beams, Alex had stood there as an alien substantially smaller than any he had shown so far. This transformation was a bipedal frog-like humanoid with pale grey skin, almond shaped green eyes with rectangular pupils. He wore a primarily black uniform with a white belt and toeless boots, he had a white segment around his neck and collarbone, that segment trailing down his right arm where the Omnitrix rested directly on his forearm. This was Alex's smallest and smartest transformation, Pointdexter.
Pointdexter took one quick glance at Kraab and almost immediately figured out how to not only disable him temporarily but also cut off his weapons. With a single bound, Pointdexter landed in between the gap of his collar and neck.
"AH! Get the fuck off me you tiny little pest!", Kraab flailed around with his giant arm and claw attempting to get the small creature off him. He felt the small creature pull at something and tear it apart, he attempted to shoot him with a small blaster located in his finger tip but realized nothing happened. "You disabled my weapons?!"
"You've got a lot of precious nerve clusters here... though I'll only leave you like this.", with a tug of another wire, electricity surged through Kraab's body as he fell onto his back limp and unable to move.
"You mother- what did you do to me?!"
"Eh you'll only be like that for the next five days, you're gonna be fine.", Pointdexter states with a smirk as he pulled himself out of Kraab and ran over to where the rest of the fight as fast as his tiny legs could carry him.
Though the Ronin did not seem to need any help as he was effortlessly outmaneuvering SixSix, both physical attacks simply didn't work and his weapons were swiftly evaded. But SixSix grabbed him with a headlock, flying high into the air before slamming him right back down to the ground on his head.
Finally getting a moment to breathe, he aimed one of his built in cannons at Alex before being punched in the back of the head by Max using his cybernetic arm. The bounty hunter snarled before roundhouse kicking Max in his midsection and elbowing him onto the ground, his energy saw unfolding and activating as he attempted to slice off Max's head.
"Oooo, what does this do?", much to SixSix's horror, Pointdexter ripped a wire in his jet pack, causing him to uncontrollably fly around the area without hope of actually stopping. Going face first into a water tower before being dragged across the ground, his jet pack sputtering out as Pointdexter had pulled another wire.
The resulting weakening of one of its supports caused the water tower to begin to crumble down rapidly. With some control over his motor functions left, Kraab let out a sigh. "I hate this fucking dirt ball.", right before he and SixSix were crushed underneath the tower as dirty water violently rushed out.
"Not too bad if I say so myself.", Pointdexter states looking up at the Ronin.
"Not bad at all, for a human anyways.", The Ronin scoffed before pulling out a bizarre weapon with a spinning cube that quickly shot out on its own. Landing in front of the two bounty hunters before expanding and then contracting back into its original size, the two within the cube now as he picked it up.
A red flash erupted as Alex popped his neck. "And that's that. Now what about my little watch problem?"
The Ronin paused for a moment, re-evaluating what had just transpired before looking at Alex. "You can have it for now, it's in good hands. But in the mean time, take this.", the much larger alien handed him the disc that was the Hoverboard.
"Woah, cool! Wait doesn't he need this to get off the planet?", Ben asked looking at the crystalline alien.
"Selective disinformation.", he states as his gloves melted over his hands and his helmet slowly formed around him.
"What does that mean?"
"He lied.", both Alex and Gwen state as a red flash erupted in front of them, the mysterious bounty hunter vanishing.
"Well that was a fun experience.", Alex said as he activated the hoverboard and threw it down. "Let's test this thing out now!"
"How come you get all the cool alien stuff?", Gwen whined.
For once in the same mood, Ben crossed his arms. "Yeah I want one of those!"
"I'm just cooler than you two-", before Alex could finish his sentence, he began losing his balance as the hoverboard suddenly jolted forward, causing him to fall onto his back.
With this, Ben and Gwen just hysterically laughed at him, all while Max attempted to find his way back to the Rust Bucket.
The original client sat in the cockpit, looking at a screen as a yellow object sped off in the opposite direction of his ship. "Betrayal, how disgusting. It appears I-"
"Pardon the intrusion, Master, but I have news.", the silence the robotic servant received was enough to allow him to continue. "Readings had shown the Omnitrix is not with any of the mercenaries."
Though it was hard to dissuade his unrelenting hatred and fury to those who betrayed him... this development made him pause. Before he began letting out a hearty and disturbing laughter that caused the robot to back away, the laughter was short lived as he re-composed himself. "It appears the Host Organism is as clever as it is fierce, I will keep that in mind."
/end/
