Chapter 6: The 11th Hunt
Our heroes were currently in a large city park. Prime Kevin was playing fetch with Zed, and Prime Gwen was with him, reading. Elsewhere, Rook was currently taking a jog with both Bens and Reboot Gwen. Prime Ben thought it would be best to take a break noticing Reboot Ben and Gwen getting tired. Both Bens and Rook were currently sitting on a bench while Gwen was practicing her magic by creating a magic disk and trying to stay on it.
"So Ben?" Reboot Ben asked, "Did your Kevin have an Antitrix too? Either way, how does he turn into whatever surface he touches?"
Prime Ben answered, "My Kevin never had an Antitrix or some Omnitrix knockoff, instead he is an Osmosian."
"What's that?" Reboot Ben asked.
"From what I recall, Osmosians are human-like aliens with a unique genetic component in their DNA that gives them the unique ability of absorbing energy and matter," Rook answered.
"What he said," Prime Ben said.
"I think I'm getting the hang of this," Reboot Gwen said, still balancing on the disk. She was focusing her power into making the disk act like a hoverboard, but unfortunately the disk cracked via focused pressure and Gwen fell. Fortunately she was caught by Reboot Ben.
"Ah! My purse!" A woman's voice said.
Prime Ben turned to see a mugger running with a purse in his hands.
"I got him," Prime Ben said before hitting his Omnitrix. He turned into an alien that appears as a dark red, mollusk-like alien with four slitted, green eyes, and a mouth that does not move when he speaks that is a violet shade of grey. He has a rough looking hood. There are black spots on his shoulders and legs, and on his arms, legs, and hands, there are portholes that look like barnacles. He also has four fingers with sharp claws that represent dactyls on his hands, and on each of his feet there are two spikes that are a violet shade of grey. His chest has eye-like patterns on it and his lower torso is a violet shade of grey, with crab-like features on his stomach which appear to be crab legs forming a rib cage. He also has three spikes on the back of his legs and seems to have cracks on his arms and shoulders. He also wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest. This is Water Hazard.
Water Hazard leaped and landed in front of the mugger and upon landing, blasted him with a burst of pressurized water at him. Rook had the mugger handcuffed to a lamppost and Water Hazard gave the woman her purse back.
"Thank you Mister," she said.
"Don't mention it," Water Hazard half modest half cocky, "It's just a daily job."
The woman walked off happily and Prime Ben turned back to normal. When the police showed up, they all decided to resume their walk. Prime Ben jogged a bit, while Reboot Ben tried to keep up.
"Come on guys," Prime Ben said, "at least try to keep up."
However, Prime Ben noticed a fireball come at him from nowhere, and dodged it just in time. They all turned and noticed that the fireball came from Hot Shot.
"What's up losers," Hot Shot said, "I saw some of you guys running, and I thought I should probably give you something to run from."
Hot Shot ignited his hands and both Bens dialed their Omnitrices.
"Come on Water Hazard it's time for another round," Prime Ben said before hitting his Omnitrix.
Prime Ben transformed into a red metallic alien. He has two containers filled with water on his head and two larger ones on the back of his shoulders and has black mask-like markings around his green eyes. He has two tubes of water reaching from a respirator where his mouth should be to his back, he has similar tubes reaching from his back to his forearms near his elbows. The center of the respirator looks similar to a shower head. His chest is red with a silver grey at the bottom of it, his stomach and lower back are black, and his waist is red. His forearms are filled with water and there are circular holes in his arms between the tanks and silver wrists, that are used for blasting water. He has black three-fingered hands and two black toes on each foot. He has a V-like stripe in the middle of his forehead, revealing water inside. He had sharp knee guards and protected ankles. He wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest. This was a new alien.
"Wait," Prime Ben asked, "Isn't this… Overflow?"
"Yeah," Ben said, "Sure looks like it."
"But I never even unlocked this one," Overflow said, "Oh well, I was going for a water guy anyway."
Overflow blasted Hot Shot with his pressurized water, sending Hot Shot backwards and extinguishing his flames. Hot Shot got back up and lit himself up again. Overflow shot water at his own feet, creating a wave of water for him to surf on. He surfed towards Hot Shot, who shot fire at Overflow. Overflow dodged all of the fire and created a water blade on his right arm and sliced a few fireballs in half. He charged at Hot Shot on his wave, engulfing him in water. Hot Shot got back up and turned into Thornblade. He lashed at Overflow with his tendrils. Overflow dodged most of them, but was knocked back by one tendril.
"Hang on other me," Reboot Ben said, "Heatblast is going to do some weed whacking."
Reboot Ben hit his Omnitrix and turned into Heatblast. Heatblast shot fire at Thornblade, who retaliated by grabbing Heatblast and throwing him into the lake. Heatblast got out of the lake and ignited himself again. He shot more fire at Thornblade. Thornblade protected himself by turning into Crystalfist who took the fire with no problem.
Meanwhile in the shadowy trees Khyber was watching the entire fight from a far. His Panuncian was getting impatient and was attempting to charge at one of the heroes. Khyber was holding his pet back by the collar and turned on the Nemetrix.
"Show no mercy," Khyber said to his pet before letting him loose. The Panuncian charged at Heatblast. Heatblast noticed this and shot fire at the Panuncian and went to fend him off.
"Aaww, what a cute little kitty cat," Heatblast teased.
"Wait," Rook said, "Is that a Panuncian?"
"And why is he wearing a collar?" Overflow asked before being hit by a realization, still fending off Crystalfist. Overflow suddenly recognized the device on the collar, "Is that thing on his collar the…? OH NO! BEN GET AWAY FROM THE CAT!"
"Why? It's so adorable how it thinks it can fight me," Heatblast said while still shooting fire near the Panuncian.
"We'll see how adorable it is once you see what it can really do," Khyber said from the shadows.
The Panuncian charged at Heatblast who was confident he could take on the creature. "Here Kitty Kitty."
Khyber, still in the shadows and trees, then whistled his gills, signaling the Panuncian to use the Nemetrix.
Without warning, the Panuncian transformed into a huge, rock-based life form with a crab-like body, a rhino-like face, and six crab-like legs with spikes on them. It has a long horn and small ears. He has a dark purple/grey color scheme with sunken red eyes. He wears a red spiked collar with the Nemetrix on it. This was Crabdozer.
"WOAH!" Heatblast screamed in shock.
Crabdozer lunged towards Heatblast, roaring. Heatblast got out of the way, but Crabdozer turned to face him.
"WHAT HECK KIND OF CAT IS THAT!" Heatblast shouted.
"That would be a Panuncian armed with the Nemetrix," Rook replied while shouting, "He is currently a Crabdozer, the natural predator of Pyronites!"
"That doesn't sound so bad," Heatblast said, "What's a Pyronite?"
"The same species as Heatblast," Rook answered, making Heatblast feel surprised and scared.
"Okay then, that is bad," Heatblast said.
Crabdozer charged at Heatblast but Heatblast dodged the attack and blasted a huge inferno at Crabdozer. When the inferno cleared, Crabdozer was still standing as if she didn't even feel a spark.
"Okay great," Heatblast said, "The monster is fireproof."
Crabdozer charged at Heatblast again, but Heatblast ran from the Crabdozer. He was running but the beast was gaining on him. Heatblast picked up a metal sign that the Crabdozer knocked over and dodged the Crabdozer's charge again. Heatblast then used the sign to hit Crabdozer in the face, but that only damaged the sign further, making it a pole that was bent and torn at one end.
"Hehe… I don't suppose you would consider becoming a vegetarian, would you?" Heatblast asked if a nervous tone.
The Crabdozer lunged at Heatblast with its jaw wide open, prepared to swallow the Pyronite. However Heatblast opened his eyes to see that he was still alive and that the Crabdozer had his mouth stuck wide open due to the pole Heatblast held.
"Ha!" Heatblast said in a 'take that' attitude, angering Crabdozer.
The Crabdozer started shaking her head, with Heatblast still holding on to the pole in Crabdozer's mouth. Crabdozer started turning around, attempting to send Heatblast flying. Heatblast began to lose his grip and was sent flying straight into a bench.
"I think I'm gonna hurl from being hurled," Heatblast said before getting hit in the back by Crabdozer's head.
Crabdozer managed to chomp down, breaking the pole in half and sending both halves flying away. Heatblast gulped in fear.
Meanwhile Overflow was busy fighting Crystalfist. He created a large water whip from his porthole and started whipping at Crystalfist, who dodged the attacks. Overflow tried to blast Crystalfist with a water blast but it wasn't very effective. Crystalfist lunged at Overflow but Overflow did something unexpected, he blasted Crystalfist with water which encased him in ice.
"What?" Reboot Gwen asked in shock, "Overflow couldn't do that. Or at least my Ben's Overflow."
"Maybe it's alien puberty," Overflow suggested, "Rook, do us a favor and find Khyber."
"Good thinking Ben," Rook said, "If Khyber's Panuncian is here, then so is Khyber himself." Rook then scanned the area and went off.
Crystalfist burst out of the ice and grabbed Overflow by the face, picked him up, slammed him on the ground, and threw him straight into a rock. Overflow turned back into Prime Ben who hit his Omnitrix.
Prime Ben turned into a yellow 10-feet-tall alien with an armored, robotic-like body. His head is similar to a Greek Corinthian helmet with two slightly long ears on it and a metal circle on top of it, giving him the appearance of an armadillo. He has a gray tail and large yellow arms with jackhammer parts on his elbows, wrists and hands, creating the impression that he is a digging robot. He has grey bolts with black markings on his shoulders. His feet are yellow with grey toes. His fingers have a small horizontal line design along with his tail and the black parts of his limbs, his arms, upper arms, and thighs are somewhat chain-like, and his forearms and shoulders are very bulky. This was Armodrillo.
Armodrillo slammed his fist onto the ground, creating a small earthquake, setting Crystalfist off his feet. Armodrillo ran towards Crystalfist before jumping into the air to deliver a knockout punch, Crystalfist however jumped towards Armodrillo and punched him in the face. Both Armodrillo and Crystalfist were now on the ground. They charged at each other and got engaged in an armlock. Crystalfist encased Armodrillo's arms in his crystals to get an advantage.
"I could use some help here Ben," Armodrillo said.
Meanwhile, Crabdozer was passing by, while Heatblast was trying to push her back, unsuccessfully.
"I'm a little busy at the moment," Heatblast said before turning back into Reboot Ben.
Crabdozer sent Reboot Ben off balance but Reboot Ben hit his Omnitrix again and turned into his Stinkfly. Stinkfly blasted noxious fumes at Crabdozer. Crabdozer was revolted by the horrible odor and started backing away in disgust. Stinkfly covered the beast in slime.
"A Lepidopterran B? Fancy that," Khyber said while watching before whistling again.
Crabdozer transformed into a lizard-like monster with a white, black, and red color scheme. She has a black head which dons a white patch on each side of her head. Located on these, she has four red eyes, two on one side, and two on the other. She has sharp teeth and the gums protrude in the lower jaw. She has a row of red spikes running down her back, which also has a black stripe. She has four legs and black feet, each ending in three red claws, and a tail with a red-marked tip. She wears the same red spiked collar with the Nemetrix on it. This was Buglizard.
Buglizard sprayed a yellow fog from her mouth at the slime, melting the slime and vaporizing it. Buglizard roared and ran towards Stinkfly. Stinkfly got out of the way in time.
"What alien is that?" Stinkfly asked.
"That would be Buglizard, Stinkfly's natural predator," Armodrillo answered.
Buglizard ran at cheetah-like speeds towards Stinkfly, but instead ran past him, climbed up a tree and pounced on him. Buglizard opened her drooling mouth wide enough to fit Stinkfly's head but Stinkfly blasted methane fumes at Buglizard's face. Stinkfly used his sharp feet to kick Buglizard in the stomach before escaping. Stinkfly charged at Buglizard, but Buglizard countered by swinging her tail at Stinkfly before he could make any direct contact with her and roared. Buglizard lunged at Stinkfly who got out of the way just in time.
Meanwhile, Armodrillo still had his hands encased by the crystals on Crystalfist's hands. He freed them by turning both of his hands into drills, ripping apart Crystalfist's arms. Taking advantage of Crystalfist's temporary lack of defense, Armodrillo turned his hands back into fists, reeled back his right arm, pulled back the screw on his right elbow, and punched Crystalfist in the face while pushing in the screw to pack a stronger punch. Crystalfist healed from the damage and generated crystals from the ground towards Armodrillo. Armodrillo countered by hitting his hand on the ground, creating tremors that shattered the crystals and sent large rocks at Crystalfist. Armodrillo turned his left hand into a drill and pulled back the screw. He hit Crystalfist in the chest, below the Antitrix symbol, causing him to spin to the drill's movement before Armodrillo pushing in the screw launching Crystalfist back at a very fast speed.
Meanwhile Stinkfly was waist-up in Bugizard's mouth with his legs flailing, trying to get out. Suddenly Crystalfist impacted Buglizard, courtesy of Armodrillo, causing Buglizard to spit out Stinkfly, who was covered in the beast's saliva.
"Ugh, that thing's even more gross on the inside," Stinkfly said before turning back into Reboot Ben. Reboot Ben hit his Omnitrix again and turned into Cannonbolt. Cannonbolt rolled straight into Crystalfist and Buglizard knocking both of them back.
Meanwhile, Khyber was watching both battles from a distance. Rook was sneaking up on Khyber through the trees (which wasn't difficult due to the sound insulating pads on his Proto-Tech armor) and attempted to lunge at Khyber like a ninja, only for Khyber to backhand him, knocking him back.
"Pitiful Revonnahgander, you should know by now that no one gets the drop on Khyber the Huntsman," Khyber said, pulling out his knife.
"However, there are individuals who have lived to tell of how they faced him," Rook said, turning his Proto-Tool into a power sword and clashing blades with Khyber. Khyber swung his knife at Rook who dodged the attack and thrust his Porto-Tool at Khyber who dodged it and clashed blades with Rook.
Meanwhile Crystalfist turned into Undertow and blasted his green water at Armodrillo. The Omnitrix timed out and Prime Ben got back up and hit the Omnitrix.
Prime Ben transformed into a silicon-based humanoid alien made of extremely durable crystal. His body is overall purple, with several dark lines and spots. His fingers and face are magenta, he has five fingers on each hand, and he also sports two long magenta shards on his back, and one on the top of his head that resembles a horn, along with two on each side of his head. His face consists of a mouth and one large green eye at the center. He has two crystal spikes on each arm, one on each shoulder, and one on each knee. His face has a magenta chin that resembles a mouth guard, and he speaks without moving his mouth at all. He has five fingers on his hands. He wears a green jumpsuit with white stripes on the waist and green-and-white striped gauntlets on his wrists and legs. His face has a magenta chin that resembles a mouth guard. The Omnitrix symbol is on his right pectoral. This is Chromastone.
Chromastone fired energy blasts from his hands at Undertow, who dodged them and created a slime whip and swung it at Chromastone. Chromastone ducked under the slime whip and Undertow slammed his hands into the ground and blasted water from them, causing the dirt under Chromastone to turn into quicksand-like mud. However, Chromastone managed to blast himself out of the mud and blast Undertow with a powerful energy beam. Undertow transformed back into Hot Shot and blasted fireballs at Chromastone, who tanked them with relative ease. Hot Shot blasted a beam of fire at Chromastone, but Chromastone blasted an ultraviolet beam of light at Hot Shot. Both beams clashed and were pushing on each other. Chromastone's laser managed to overpower Hot Shot's laser and Hot Shot was sent backwards.
Meanwhile, Rook was still fighting Khyber. Khyber thrusted his knife a few times, but the attacks were dodged by Rook. Rook converted his Proto-Tool into a blaster and shot Khyber, who evaded the assault. Rook fired a net, but Khyber used his knife to cut it up.
"You were planning an attack, were you not Khyber?" Rook asked, "I believe that this world's Kevin Levin may have dented out your plan. Has he not?"
"Actually, this world's Kevin Levin being here was my exact plan," Khyber corrected, "I assume that you knew that he got trapped in space and time. But who did you think clawed him out?"
"You mean…?" Rook asked before being cut off.
"Yes, but he isn't just my associate, but my prized pupil," Khyber said, "I spent the last two weeks teaching him how to properly wield the Antitrix and he's shown quite the results."
"Is that why he lost so easily at the mall?" Rook asked.
"Not really, that was just his arrogance," Khyber answered, "You won't see that I have that same weakness."
Khyber whistled again to his pet. Rook fended off a few more of Khyber's knife attacks and turned his Proto-Tool into a tonfa and knocked Khyber's knife out of his hands.
"No matter. I've taken on stronger quarry with just these," Khyber said before cracking his knuckles.
Khyber charged at Rook and gave him a left swing and a punch in the gut. Rook recovered and kicked Khyber in the face. Khyber recovered his knife and both opponents' weapons clashed.
Meanwhile, Cannonbolt was fighting Buglizard. Cannonbolt easily had the upper hand as he kept rolling into the predator at high speeds. However, Buglizard heard Khyber's command and transformed again.
The Buglizard turned into a massive alien that resembled a shark with dense armor, a huge mouth containing hundreds of teeth, possesses three red eyes on each side of its head, and four nostrils on its horn-like nose. She also has eight relatively insignificant fin-like limbs running along her body. She has dark green skin, a pale green underbelly, and a long tail with spikes on it. She wears the red spiked collar with the Nemetrix on it. This was an Arburian Carcharodon called Megalodoom.
Megalodoom growled at Cannonbolt, who just stood there with an expression that said "uh oh".
"Let me guess, you must be Cannonbolt's natural predator," Cannonbolt said. He received a loud roar, that released drops of saliva, from Megalodoom. Cannonbolt shook all of the saliva off of him.
"I'll take that as a yes and a cue to run for dear life," Cannonbolt said before rolling away.
Megalodoom ran after Cannonbolt with its fin-like limbs, before deciding to use its rotating teeth to dig and tunnel after Cannonbolt. Megalodoom got in front of Cannonbolt and regurgitated all the debris at Cannonbolt, like a mix between a spread gun and a machine gun. Cannonbolt dodged the attacks and rolled away. Megalodoom followed him by tunneling, but launching itself up out of the ground before landing back into the ground to dig, similar to a fish but with land.
Meanwhile Chromastone hit his Omnitrix symbol and turned into Overflow again and charged at Hot Shot with a huge wave of water. Hot Shot turned back into Reboot Kevin.
"Not bad Kid Kevin," Overflow said, "But I wouldn't call you 'unpredictable', you have access to the same eleven aliens, while I have access to over seventy."
"If you wanted new, all you had to do was ask," Kevin said before hitting the Antitrix again.
Reboot Kevin transformed into an alien that looked similar to Big Chill only where there should be dark blue, there was cool grey. He had cool grey claws and different markings on his arms and legs. He also had light blue spikes on his shoulders and back of his neck. His wings were more bat-like and had blue spikes on them and his antennae look more like smaller variants of his wings and his teeth are sharper. He has red eyes and wore a red belt with the Antitrix symbol on it. This was a new Antitrix alien called Frostbite
"Wait, what!?" Overflow asked in shock.
"Surprised?" Frostbite asked.
"How did you get your Antitrix Big Chill?" Overflow asked.
"That's Frostbite to you, and it's one of the many new aliens I've gotten from a partner of mine," Frostbite said, "But for now, I'm about to turn Ben 10 into Ben 0; Absolute Zero."
Frostbite blasted Overflow with his freezing breath, encasing him in a huge crystal of ice.
"How do you like that Loser-son," Frostbite asked.
However, inside the ice, Overflow used his water pumps to blast water. This didn't break the ice, but it did build up pressure in the ice and caused it to burst, setting Overflow free.
"Ice is still water you know," Overflow said before firing an icy water blast at Frostbite.
Frostbite turned intangible and used his freezing breath again. Overflow flew out of the way with his hydrokinesis. He shot Frostbite with his icy water blast again, this froze up Frostbite's body, but he phased out of it and blasted ice from his hands.
"I'm going to need a different alien. Come on Heatblast," Overflow hit the Omnitrix and transformed.
He turned into an alien resembling an orange and white bipedal humanoid tiger that was about nine feet tall, with one grayish-silver claw coming out of each wrist, and no tail. He is also muscular and has green eyes and black stripes on his shoulders, head, legs and upper body as well as a white jaw, neck, chest, stomach, hands and feet. He has long pointed eyebrows which were completely black. He wore an outfit similar to that of a luchador that has a green and black color scheme, consisting of black boots, black gloves, and a luchador mask. The Omnitrix is on his luchador belt. This is Rath.
Rath looked at himself and said, "Let me tell ya something Omnitrix that keeps turning me into the wrong thing! You keep turning me into the wrong thing, and Rath is sick of you not working right! It's not even funny anymore."
Rath then turned his attention to Frostbite. "And let me tell ya something Kevin E. Levin from this universe with an Omnitrix wannabe! Rath is not Heatblast, but Rath is gonna crank up the heat so that you get burned, even though Rath cannot use fire powers!" Rath said pointing at Frostbite.
"Fine," Frostbite said before turning into Bashmouth, "I wanted a brawl anyway."
The two bruisers engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Bashmouth tackled Rath and attempted to bite him with his metal teeth, but Rath held back his teeth with his hands, and kicked him off. Bashmouth got back up from the kick and the two grabbed each other's hands and started pushing against each other. Rath pushed back Bashmouth, and tried to punch him. Bashmouth dodged it and kicked Rath, who retaliated by trying to punch him again, only for Bashmouth to suplex him. Rath charged at him and tried to punch him again only Bashmouth blocked it with the armored plating on his arms. Rath punched and slashed him again and again, but the attacks were blocked. Bashmouth tried to bite Rath again only for Rath to grab his mouth with both hands, close it, and use one hand as a muzzle and the other to hit Bashmouth in the back. Bashmouth got back up and delivered an uppercut to Rath's jaw. Rath retaliated by punching Bashmouth in the face. Bashmouth punched Rath in the face twice. Rath climbed up a tree and lunged towards Bashmouth.
"Aerophibian Aerial Attack!" Rath yelled, RKOing Bashmouth, as he dived towards him.
"Ziboson Bash!" Rath yelled, hitting Bashmouth in the face before throwing him up and grabbing him upside down.
"Petrosapien Piledriver!" Rath yelled before jumping and slamming Bashmouth's head on the ground and throwing him up again.
"Sirius Butt Kicking!" Rath yelled before kicking Bashmouth in midair.
Bashmouth landed in a pond and flashed red. When he re-emerged, he was a silicon-based humanoid alien made of extremely durable crystal. His body is overall dark grey, with several dark lines and spots. His fingers and face are purple, he has five fingers on each hand, and he also sports two long purple shards on his back, two on his chest, and one on the top of his head that resembles a horn, along with two on each side of his head. His face consists of a mouth and one large red eye at the center. He has two crystal spikes on each arm, one on each shoulder, and one on each knee. His face has a purple chin that resembles a mouth guard, and he speaks without moving his mouth at all. He has five fingers on his hands. He wears a black jumpsuit that stops before his chest and before his knees. His jumpsuit has a red stripe that goes down the middle and red cuffs at the ends of the pants. He wears one spiked cuff on each wrist and wears the Antitrix symbol on his chest. This is Ore.
"Chromastone?" Rath asked.
"That's Ore to you," Ore said before blasting Rath with an ultraviolet beam.
Rath turned back into Prime Ben and got back up.
Meanwhile Cannonbolt was trying to get away from Megalodoom. However, he transformed back to Reboot Ben. Reboot Ben hit his Omnitrix and turned into Slapback. Slapback split into eight clones, which managed to overpower Megalodoom.
"Woooh! Score one for the little guys!" one of the Slapback clones said.
Meanwhile Rook was still fending off Khyber.
"You should've gotten help from your partner when you had the chance," Khyber said.
"I did not bring my partner," Rook said before Khyber hit a mana attack from behind with his knife. Seeing Prime Gwen, Prime Kevin and Zed in front of him.
"But I did bring help," Rook finished.
Kevin touched a rock and turned to a stone texture. Zed charged at Khyber who evaded her and grabbed Kevin's fist as he was about to punch him. Kevin swung his other fist at him and managed to land a punch.
"Not very sporting now are we?" Khyber asked before throwing down a smoke bomb.
Meanwhile with Prime Ben and Reboot Kevin…
"You lost Ben," Ore said, charging up his hands, "Did you not count on me having new aliens from your Omnitrix?"
Ben dialed in his Omnitrix and noticed a new, yet familiar alien.
"Did you not count on me having new aliens from your Antitrix?" Ben asked before hitting his Omnitrix.
Ben transformed into an alien with an appearance similar to a husky or werewolf. He has silver grey and white colored fur, four fingers on each hand, three toes on each foot, and sharp claws on each hand and foot. He has a tail that is small. His eyes are green and the inside of his mouth is red. He wears a black jumpsuit with a green stripe that goes down it, black pants, black wrist gauntlets with metal plating, and an iron shoulder pad on his right shoulder. He wears a green belt with a white stripe and the Omnitrix symbol in the center as a belt buckle. This was a new Omnitrix alien called Tear-Wolf.
"What? How did you get Bashmouth?" Ore asked.
"My Omnitrix has a DNA scanner that allows me to gain DNA from other aliens from close proximity," Tear-Wolf answered, "So by showing me Bashmouth, you gave me a new alien. I'm thinking I'll call him-" But he was cut off when Ore blasted an ultraviolet laser at him. Tear-Wolf blocked the attack with his metal plates and ran at Ore on all fours before lunging at him and finishing his sentence by shouting "Tear-Wolf!"
Tear-Wolf grabbed Ore by the face and threw him back. Ore turned into Quad Smack and tried to punch Tear Wolf with his two left arms, but Tear-Wolf blocked it with his metal plates, hurting Quad Smack's knuckles and punched Quad Smack in the face. Tear-Wolf got out his metal teeth and bit Quad Smack's hand and tossed him into a tree.
"Kevin, we're falling back," Khyber said through the Antitrix for only Quad Smack to hear.
"No, wait. I can still fight," Quad Smack said.
"We're outnumbered and outmatched. A good hunter doesn't just fight his prey, he studies it. And he knows when to regroup and plan ahead," Khyber said.
Quad Smack turned back into Reboot Kevin.
"This isn't over," Reboot Kevin said before disappearing in a red flash of light.
"Looks pretty over to me," Tear-Wolf said.
Khyber also disappeared in a red flash of light. And while the Slapback clones were celebrating and jumping on Megalodoom, Megalodoom vanished in a flash of light, causing the eight Slapbacks to fall down.
The gang regrouped and talked about revelations.
"Wait, this world's Kevin is what?" Prime Ben and Reboot Ben asked simultaneously.
"This world's Kevin is Khyber's student," Rook said.
"That would explain why both he and Khyber and his pet appeared in the same area," Prime Kevin said.
"An equally concerning matter would be how our Ben said that this world's Kevin had Big Chill and Chromastone," Prime Gwen said.
"He calls them Frostbite and Ore, but yeah," Prime Ben said.
"I am curious as to how the other Kevin got those aliens in the first place," Rook said, "Khyber is a very cunning strategist and hunter, but he is no biotechnician."
"Maybe Khyber and the other me aren't the only ones in this alliance," Kevin said.
"Then who could it be?" Prime Ben asked
Meanwhile on Khyber's ship…
Khyber sat on his chair, sharpening his knife with a block, and Megalodoom came beside him before transforming back into a Panuncian. Reboot Kevin punched a wall in anger.
"Why did we retreat?" Kevin asked, "we could've taken them."
"In case you were unaware, I was cornered, my pet here was pinned down, and you were, I believe the Earth term is: being used to mop the floor," Khyber said, "While the Vilgaxs are working on our special little project, I think I should stalk our prey a bit longer. And when the time is right, you will fight them alongside, not me, but him."
"I'll do this on my own, I don't need some clone of that loser leading me," Kevin said, "If he were here, I would pummel him to the ground."
"Then by all means," a voice that sounded like Reboot Ben's said, "pummel me."
Albedo came out of the shadows and smirked at Kevin.
"Surprised to see me?" Albedo asked.
"I thought you were helping the Vilgaxs with their science project," Kevin said.
"It's finished, it just needs to power up for a few days," Albedo said, "In the meanwhile I would be delighted to be your leader for a day."
"How much of Khyber's talking did you hear?" Kevin asked.
"Only the whole thing," Albedo said, "I'll take him off your hands, huntsman."
"Make sure you go through with our plan," Khyber said, "the consequences would be rather… unfortunate."
"Even for your prized pupil?" Kevin asked.
"Especially for my prized pupil," Khyber said, holding up his knife.
Albedo led Kevin away and spoke with him.
"Listen, I know that Khyber can be strict, but he means well for our plan," Albedo said, "you will have your revenge. But in the meantime, I hope you don't mind I make some upgrades to the Antitrix."
Meanwhile back with our heroes…
The Bens, Reboot Gwen, and Rook were talking.
"I must say, I was impressed with how you got Overflow," Reboot Ben said.
"Oh yeah, that reminds me," Prime Ben said, "That wasn't the only new alien I unlocked in this world."
Prime Ben hit his Omnitrix and turned into Tear-Wolf.
"Woah, you got Bashmouth from Kevin too?" Reboot Ben asked.
"Actually, I'm calling this guy Tear-Wolf," Tear-Wolf said.
"I am impressed with how you obtained the DNA of a Cascan and a Chitancanine," Rook said.
"Yep, not sure that Tear-Wolf has any significant weaknesses though," Tear-Wolf said.
Reboot Gwen tried using her beginner-level magic to generate mana, but instead accidentally summoned a tennis ball from the Rustbucket. Tear-Wolf noticed this and got excited.
"Ohhh boy! It's a ball!" Tear-Wolf said.
"What?" Gwen asked before realization hit her, "Oh… You want the ball? You want the ball? Do you? Do you want the ball?" Gwen playfully teased.
"Yes I do! I do! I do! I do! I want the ball! I want the ball! Gimme the ball! Gimme the ball! Gimme the ball now!" Tear-Wolf asked in excitement.
"Then go get it!" Gwen threw the ball and Tear-Wolf barked before chasing it on all fours.
"What was that all about?" Reboot Ben asked.
"Chitancanines possess instincts similar to any Earth canine such as wolves, coyotes, and apparently dogs," Rook explained before Tear-Wolf came back with the ball.
"No significant weaknesses, huh?" Reboot Ben sarcastically asked.
"Okay maybe just one," Tear-Wolf said.
"Now let us head back to the Rustbucket and Proto-TRUK, I wish to get lunch," Rook said.
However he was stopped when he felt something bite his leg, he looked down to see Tear-Wolf gnawing on his leg. If Rook wasn't wearing Proto-Tech armor, this would hurt.
"Ben," Rook said in an annoyed tone.
"Don't blame me, I didn't ask for dog-like tendencies," Tear-Wolf said before noticing a taste, "But your Proto-Tech pants taste surprisingly good, it's like you… ran through a field of bacon," Tear-Wolf continued to gnaw on Rook's leg.
Reboot Ben and Gwen giggled at this display as Rook walked while dragging Tear-Wolf by his own leg.
"Ben don't you think you should um do something?" Reboot Max asked.
"Sure Sure" Reboot Ben says and turns into Grey Matter and Timed TearWolf out.
"How did you? You've never done that before with your aliens?" Reboot Gwen says.
"Well The Ommitrix is on my back and hard to reach" Grey Matter says.
