Eruka was running and screaming through a forest throwing "Pad pole bombs." She said her chant and throw the bombs rapidly behind her why? Golems. The head witch couldn't trust anything and replaced them with golems. Eruka was screaming her head off, in horror, Golems didn't feel pain so as she damaged them they fell apart. Only for her to see the Rock monsters coming up ahead and she cried going, "I just wanted to see my baby again!" However the rock monsters charged past her and at the golems making her blink.
She saw hovering Gwen the daughter in law saying, "Mother in law." Eruka nodded before she jumped to see a witch leading the golems in black robe and hat long white hair hiding face arms out she laughed pointing, "Not for long!" the witch said a chant that was "fire flames, Ash, and cinder!" The stone creatures Gwen summoned soon burst in the flames from inside out making them roar and crack. her golems also became covered in fire. A flame witch, I guess that means she is a firefly.
Moments later however our came Devin in chimera form at speed using his flaming arm to smack the witch upside the head, " hands off my grandma lady!" he said knocking her back hand out cracking his knuckles. "You want to slam dance with someone , it's me. Attacking grandmas... I am going to break you woman!" he pointed with wild Mutt arm before scratching his pit, " oh blinky is itchy as hell lately."
That said That's when something else hit them, falling boulders of ice that hit and smashed the rock monsters by temperature shock. Another witch looking like the first one showed up, "Need help sister. Ice frost Snow and hail!" She called out summoning Ice golems to tackle Devin who was flaming punching them away. Her theme was ice snake, that's a cryptid form lumberjack legend. We know cryptids are real in the Ben10 universe so let the ice snake ice snake.
Gwen held out her hands to use mana shots before summoning more rock monsters and making them glow and shine giving them mana force fields that covered their bodies to protect them. " Two witches with elemental powers those stone golems!" more of them showed up. The soul eater golems where as you would think.
That's when Eruka jumped on to tadpole Jackson as the ground below her popped into spikes. A third witch matching the other two, "Earth, rock, soil and dirt!" she chanted making the spikes pop up, Devin phased through it. This witch was mole themed. However Maka with soul came out with "WITCH HUNTER!" To swing down only for the earth witch to summon earth walls to block their attacks. before making the broken walls rock's flow up and at them, making it shield and counter attack knocking her back.
Joining the party on the witches side was a storm of wind that seemed to Blow Maka and soul back, and make the flames stronger. A fourth witch sister holding a ball of wind over her hands, "hurricanes tornados air, and storms!" she said making air pop around Gwen to knock her back. This witch was themed around the Rod cryptid. Erika comment, "The four storm sisters?" The four witches called out chants combining their powers to make it storm hot and cold triggering lighting, and rain, wind and dirt kicking to blind them. It was a storm.
That's when Kevin showed up covered in metal acting as a lighting rod to protect Eruka, Eruka's eyes widened in horror, "I finally find my past and know what happened and you want to take her boy! let me borrow your mutation!" Devin appeared and Kevin touched his head using absorption to turn into the mutant form he had as a kid, but with metal skin on everything but his upper arms. Kevin charged heat blast arm morphed to mace with crystal spikes as he smashed the ground making a fissure to make flames burst out in the storm! " Everyone pick a bitch!" Gwen was about to talk but Kevin pointed with wildMutt arm, "I know what I said. They clearly aren't strong unless it's together!" he charged speed intangibility plus flying to land the hook with his heatblast arm on the earth witch turning her to soul. " See."
Gwen crossed arms and domed the fire witch watching her panick and try to escape she would become soul form suffocation in this dome, as she lashed out with her flames till she died. Devin meanwhile spat slime in the Stunned ice witch's face making her hiss as she couldn't see anything, as high speed four fists of furry hit her souling her.
That left the Wind witch ! Maka growled swinging her scythe as she said, "WITCH HUNTER!" She went for the attack putting everything she and soul had into this wing to get around a wind barrier, but the barrier held her back tell Eruka chanted and said, " Tadpole bombs!" the blast got the witch from behind souling her leaving Maka holding a witches soul but she got it form help form one, and she showed the poorest here. Holding it she wondered how her mother beat one, or if she really did. She didn't meet her talk to her birth mother much anymore. She did know she swung her father and killed a witch. After seeing the aliens handle them easier it was a reminder of how weak they were in comparison. It made her wonder how her mother beat the witch? Did she really work hard and become strong? did she go with others and was just last meister standing? her father couldn't remember clearly having PTSD blocked out the battle, so it let a lot to her theory the woman who birth her got the fame of making a death scythe because she went with many others and she got lucky enough to be the one walking away. The alternative is the hunting party got into a fight afterwards and her birther was a bitch not a killer. Maka tilted her head watching Eruka hug her family happily. She realized something no may not be a difference between any of the witches on the station, Eruka or the one her mother killed. Kill a witch still killing. Self defense only counts if they attacked first like the storm sisters did. Maka sighed gathering the souls up. She helped for one, one was her's for soul 99 souls later. The other three were first to 99.
Devin returned to normal before holding his armpit. This made them stop Eruka looked confused Kevin then explained it. "Devin's power is turning into my first mutation which came from me absorbing omnitrix energy and DNA. That meant my phasing comes from the original Ghostfreak. His race's mind exists in even the smallest part of their DNA. The DNA came from Zs'skayr wanted criminal. Devin's chimera form is a copy of mine so short answers the last fragment of a wanted criminal is haunting his arm pit!" Eruka fainted.
Soul became human and said one thing, "haunted arm pit I am so scared It's probably just a zit or something." Before anyone could stop him the guy poked Devin's pit and in a moment there was a pop, some slime came out, then the slime on soul's finger glow hovered and became the original Ghostfreak, and soul fainted. everyone got ready. The ghost laughed saying, "thanks you dummy, for freeing me from Devin's arm pit. I am not free to continue enslaving people, places, and tormenting his family. Oh please Gwen I have no life force your magic is useless. Kevin what you going to do!" Kevin returned to normal form as the ghost said, "Right cast off my DNA and your power, you don't want me to cheat the big death again. " he vanished saying, "thank you soul for releasing me from his pit."
Later on in the plumber base Eruka had a collar as Devin was getting stitches under his arm. The plumber medic said, " when he left, he put a tumor as a goodbye gift, so relax we just cut a tumor out." Devin groaned his pit killed. " Tumor and a person big day for things coming out from your arm pit to day." Elsewhere on it, soul was running Maka chasing with bat, "MEGA MAKA CHOP!" She said whacking his head as he ran and she chased, "YOU LET THE CRIMINAL OUT OF DEVIN'S ARM PIT YOU IDIOT! GET BACK HERE MAKA CHOP!" She whacked him again. "MAKA CHOP! MAKA CHOP MAKA CHOP! WE HAD THE SOUL AND YOU RUINED IT NOW WE HAVE GHOSTFREAK TO WORRY ABOUT!"
Ben was currently devil dasher and said, "yeah he wants to body jack an Omnitrix user." Ken was heat blast, Frost was quadsmack, and Zeta was crystal fist, her female version had the crystal Spike on front making it look like she had a pompadour. All of them said, "WE CAN'T BE HUMAN SAFELY TILL HE IS FRIED IN THE SUN AGAIN SO COME HERE SOUL WE GOT TO PAY YOU A BEATING BOY!"
Elsewhere below Kid kicked down a door of his manor to see Patty and Liz, "Girls get ready we are mobilizing. We are going to hunt the space ghost that escaped from Devin's armpit, thanks to soul letting it out! Bewarned our space ghost prey is evil, twisted, body jacking, loves to wear people as skin suits, but he dies in sun light. So get ready it lives not so Crona , can find him by reversing a tracking spell. Come on now it's time to go hunt for the ghost that came from the alien's armpit!" Liz fainted, Patty clapped saying, "YAY more space bullshit!"
Kid then adjusted tie, "Black star and tsubaki will be joining us, They are bait, for Mr. OG Ghostfreak. I am not saying his real name the way out well it is horrible, You can it has a dash in it? A DASH!" he said saying, "Come on time to hunt for a spooky kooky space ghost, who wants to wear my girlfriend's father as a meat suit! Come on!"
Later while looking Crona was in a cave making mana platforms over water. Black star shivered, "This is Excalibur's cage...That poor evil space ghost?" he said holding tsubaki in ninja sword mode. Kid held his guns and said one thing in reply. "don't you care pitty ghostfreak he has hounded and tried to steal the life and body of Crona's father sense he was ten. This monster has haunted her family for decades, he was finally locked up tight in Devin's armpit out of harm's way till Soul poked his pit calling bullshit and let him pop out like a zit." The weapons all said one thing, "GROSS I DO NOT WANT TO PICTURE THAT!" Kid then added, "Plus Devin's Chimera form has loss all trace of ghostfreak's power, no eye track, no walking through walls. Devin has lost use of one of his powers."
That's when Blackstar attacked his eyes purple gems in pits of tar, Tsubaki screamed in horror in ninja sword mode going to attack kid rapidly. making Kid use his guns as tonfas to block strikes, rapid quick ones, with Black star vanishing and reappearing to strike. Crona was watching, " Guys my flash bang is useless if he is in side someone, he is immune to sun light in a body, and he has no mana! I can't rip him out!"
Kid continued this fight Ghsotfreak apparently not caring about Crona as she had no way to strike him, but he saw Kid and knew power. "Why black star and not me? Couldn't possess a Shinigami?" Ghostfreak spoke up through black star's mouth, "Oh I could but their is enough insanity in your mind boy, after all madness runs in your blood, like water through this cave." Kid's eyes widened. The ghostfreak said Kid was too crazy to possess.
Crona snapped her fingers, "Black star I know you hear me boy, you want to surpass god, Kid can't be possessed, so get on kid's level it's the first step to surpass him after all. Come on Black Star take that big step and get on kid's level fight fight the freak, Fight the ghost, Fight him like you are my dad who he's been stalking for decades." Black star turned, "Tennyson!" Black star's hand then opened to ghostfreak's shock freeing tsubaki to become human and jumped on the mana blade from turning hair to chain scythe mode to use as a weapon.
Tsubaki held her hand blade, "Black star let me go! he opened the hand. Crona is right! Crona cast the dam spell!" Crona held her hands together making sunlight fill the cave by the magic orb she generated. Tsubaki joined kid in clashing with black star's body, but despite losing control of one hand, Ghostfreak was still able to use the boy's body to hold his own. Kid not wanting to shot his friend was using pistol whipping and he quickly said, " soul resonances." Not using the cannons he still had larger smashing tools and outright said, "he had this much skill inside him. his martial arts skills are amazing, and are hampered by that ego of his, granted I am understanding it more and more as he counters my reaper martial arts."
Tsubaki jumped back, " Black star, use that power! use it, this ghost has no soul, no soul wavelength, but you do, and you can use it! a feet that shocked and impressed even Stein!" Black star's body glow as Ghostfreak struggled to maintain control as black star's voice said, "Black star big wave!" The shock wave knocked the ghost out. The ghost then burnt in the light of Crona's magic solar flare spell ending this fight. Black star fell to knees painting, " I resisted him, Close I took a big step today." The Ninja passed out.
Kid said one thing looking at him, "that he did now come on let's get out of here before excalibur notices the ghost fight, Also... If not for his ego this man blacked out snoring and drooling would be deadly. I mean good thing Ghostfreak couldn't use souls resonance to use most of his skills. Still I don't get it if he has no soul how can a soul effect him?"
Crona explained it giggling, "Oh Kid you are so cute you baka!" She said kissing his forehead dead center making him blush as he lowered his new cowboy hat to cover it. "A ghosty possession works by repressing the soul and mind of the body replacing them. If one is able to work up the power to take back over the possession ends, also not having one leaves you immune. When Blackstar used black star big wave, his soul was active again. he basically restarted himself like a frozen computer. Ghostfreak could have easily went back in but my flash bang had him. What won was Black star's will power, his mind and soul worked together to give a burst of will to knock him out. It wasn't the attack , if anything the attack was only symbolic in nature."
Patty and Liz reformed, with Patty going, "Well works for me. Yay we beat a space ghost, with space witch, a god, a loud ninja, a shy armory, me my sister, and the space ghost came out of the space witch's cousin's underarm yay!" She declared happily at all this crap. She summarized the plot perfectly.
Medusa didn't care about Ghostfreak she was instead sad Eruka won, as it makes it less fun as now they have a smart girl up their helping the plumbers with magic. Happy medusa would say it best, "You win some you lose some, and sometimes you just get so disappointed in people who don't do your job you just want to go full on mega ultra super Karen not caring about the jail time. Now is a Karen time!"
