NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

{Episode 6: Be-Knighted/Meeting a couple of new friends!}

It was a normal day in the city of Bellwood as we zoom over to Bellwood's Local Gym and see both Ben and Vanessa standing in a boxing ring with their jackets and hoodie taken off as they were having a sparring match with each other as Gwen supervised in the background and watched as Ben threw a few fast punches at Vanessa, who was able to block them with her forearms as she bends down and tries to do a leg sweep, but her boyfriend was able to anticipate her attack and leap over it as he landed beside his girlfriend and lifts up his leg to try and kick her, only for Vanessa to drop down onto the ground and rolled around to dodge his attack as Ben smirked at this.

"Great idea on the sparring session, Gwen. I mean, it's great to have the Omnitrix and Zennatrix and all, but there might come a time when it's not enough!" Ben screamed while running forwards to leap up and try to do a downwards kick at Vanessa's stomach, only to miss as she rolled out of the way again and Ben crashed landed on the floor as the blue-haired girl used this opportunity to tackle him onto the ground, and the young couple rolled around for a bit before Ben ended up on top of Vanessa as he had her hands pinned on the floor.

"Hey!" Omni and Zeda yelled in annoyance as both teens took a brief break to glance up at their watches apologetically.

"Sorry, guys, but you two do tend to malfunction sometimes," Vanessa says with Ben nodding in agreement as their Omnitrix and Zennatrix beeped in irritation.

"Yeah, but it's usually because you two mess with something you don't understand and mess us up." Omni pointed out.

"True, but still, we need to expand our repertoire and learn how to defend ourselves without you guys." Ben countered as they then resumed back to their spar, and Vanessa struggled to come up with a way to escape from Ben's grip...before a sly idea came into her head as she grinned and reaches up to kiss Ben on the cheek, surprising him as he blushed and lost his grip on Vanessa, who quickly took the advantage by twisting them around and ended up on top of her boyfriend as she smirks.

"One...two...three...I win!" Vanessa says with a smirk while getting up from her boyfriend's waist as Ben sat up with a pout.

"Hey! No fair! You kissed me! That win doesn't count!"

"All's fair in love and war, Benji. I won fair and square. You were the one that got distracted by a little kiss." A giggling Vanessa says while walking over to share a high five with a grinning Gwen as Ben groaned but reluctantly accepted his defeat as he stood up from the ground.

"Alright, alright, I admit, I couldn't beat my girlfriend in a fight...wow, that sounded way worse when I said it out loud. Am I considered a bad boyfriend if I spar with my girlfriend?" Ben asked the girls curiously as Vanessa and Gwen shakes their heads.

"Nah, not when said girlfriend is also a superhero and knows how to kick butt," Vanessa says cheekily as Ben grinned and walked over to kiss her on the cheek.

"And I find that to be extremely attractive." Ben flirted as Vanessa blushes lightly and giggled shyly as she looked away, and Gwen rolled her eyes at her cousin and friend's antics as she turned her head and blinks as Gwen saw Sabrina doing her own unique version of training with Ship, which consists of the alien dog taking the form of a tennis ball launcher as Sabrina stood in front of him while wearing a blindfold as Ship began pelting his owner with tennis balls.

"Ow!" Sabrina yelped in pain as a tennis ball hits her shoulder, thankfully at half of its original speed as another ball hits her in the stomach. "Ow!"

"Sabrina, Ship, what are you guys doing?" Gwen asked curiously with her arms crossed as a blinded Sabrina turned in her general direction.

"Ship and I want to train too, so I'm having him shoot me with tennis balls to test my reflexes-Ow!" Sabrina says before yelping in pain as Ship hits her with another tennis ball.

"Well, good luck with that, I guess," Gwen says awkwardly as Sabrina gave her a thumbs up before going back to her training session as the red-headed girl leans over to the Omnitrix and Zennatrix Wielders. "Are you two sure it's safe to have her train like that?"

"Yeah, don't worry, Gwen. Ship won't hurt my little sister too much. She will be alright. I mean, sure, Ship can be a handful at times and keeps taking over various machines in the RV, always barking at our mailman or popping in my shoes, but after a while, he learned how to behave." Vanessa says just as the trio heard a surprised squeak near them as they turned their heads and saw a laughing Sabrina being tackled onto the floor by Ship, who reverted back in his original form as he begins licking his master's face uncontrollably while ignoring the young girl's plead for him to stop...even though she was clearly loving it due to her giggles.

"He behaves, huh?" Ben asked Vanessa teasingly as his girlfriend elbowed him sharply, and he laughed just as the Gym Doors were opened as a serious Kevin walked in.

"Hey, guys, how are you doing? Good? Great, anyway, I set up a meeting for Ben, so let's go." Kevin says hurriedly while making his way over to the group, who raised an eyebrow at him as a chuckling Sabrina was able to get Ship to stop licking her and placed him beside her as she took off her blindfold and stood up from the floor as Sabrina and Ship made their way over to the teenagers.

"With who?"

"It's important, come on, loverboy," Kevin says while grabbing Ben's arm as he begins dragging him over to the exit.

"With who, Kevin?" Gwen asked with a strict tone, stopping Kevin in his tracks as he sighed heavily and turned to his friends.

"Um…with the Forever Knights," Kevin said with a nervous smile as the others gasped in shock and a disbelieving Ben got out of Kevin's grip.

"No way!" Gwen screamed.

"Are you crazy!?" Ben said while looking at Kevin like he lost his mind as the Osmosian Teen raised his hands in surrender.

"Hold it, hold it, they're in trouble and need our help." Kevin stated as Vanessa shook her head in confusion and waved her arms around in exasperation.

"Wait, wait, wait. Refresh my memory, but didn't you guys say that the Forever Knights were the bad guys? Why would we care if they're in trouble?"

"Vanessa's right. They aren't exactly friends of ours." Gwen said as Ship suddenly let out a beep and sniffed the air curiously before growling as Ship leaped out of Sabrina's arms and began making his way over to Kevin.

"Ship? Where are you going?" Sabrina asked while following Ship as the others continued on with their conversation.

"Now, hold on, everybody. I know that the Forever Knights are our enemies, but don't you guys find it suspicious that they are asking for our help of all people? Aren't you all curious to find out what's going on?" Kevin asked with a sly grin, not noticing that Ship slithering behind him as he sniffed his pants and growled.

"Wait a minute...they paid you to come in here and get Ben, didn't they?" Gwen asked knowingly as Kevin gasped overdramatically/offendedly.

"Aw, that hurts. Don't you think I ever do something out of the goodness of my hear-Hey, what the hell!?" Kevin said before suddenly letting out a surprised scream as Ship jumped onto Kevin's leg and started looking for something. "Sabrina! Tell your mutt to get off me!"

"Sorry, Kevin! Ship, you let go of him this instant!" Sabrina ordered sternly, but Ship ignored her as he poked his head into Kevin's pocket and pulled out a small piece of alien tech.

"Hey! Give that back, you mangy mutt!" Kevin screamed angrily while grabbing the small alien machine as he and Ship started playing tug-of-war with it and, for some reason, was Ship winning the tug of war, much to Kevin's annoyance as he glared down at the Galvanic Mechamorph Mutt. "I said let...it...go!" Kevin shouted as Ship did what he commanded and let go of the alien tech, causing Kevin to fall on the ground as his team circled around him and glared at him. "Uh, this isn't what it looks like."

"Oh, so you're telling me that you didn't get the alien tech by trading with the Forever Knights," Gwen asked rhetorically with a raised eyebrow.

"...Okay, so it is what it looks like," Kevin said with a weak grin as Gwen rolled her eyes at him.

"Kevin!"

"He's got a point, though. If the Forever Knights are desperate enough to ask me for help, we should at least hear what they got to say." Ben said as Vanessa pursers her lips and crossed her arms with a glare.

"Still smells like a trap, though. I'm not sure if this is a good idea." Vanessa said as Ben smiled at her and held her hand.

"Don't worry, Vanessa. If anything happens, I will protect you," Ben said, causing Vanessa to blush highly and smile warmly as Gwen, Kevin, Sabrina, and Ship were giving the young couple sly, knowing looks.

"I-I can take care of myself, thank you, b-but it's the thought that counts." Vanessa stammered a bit while giving Ben a quick kiss on the cheek as her boyfriend grinned widely before making his way out of the gym as the others followed.

"That's the most ridiculous story I have ever heard!" Ben exclaimed, after hearing Squire telling him the reason why the Forever Knights needed his help as we see Ben and the rest of his team walking through a Forever Knights' Castle with a young blonde teen guiding them through the hallways. The young teen is a 6-feet-tall, 16-year-old boy with light blue eyes, blonde hair in the shape of a bowl cut, a small nose, a cleft chin, Caucasian skin, a slim tall body, and his outfit consists of light grey body armor with a red cloth tunic which has a black stripe in upside T-shape on the bottom part, and has a cape on his left shoulder witch holds by a large yellow button. He also wears a grey belt with a Forever Knights symbol in a round yellow emblem as well as a pair of standard medieval-like boots made of cloth similar color to his tunic. His real name is unknown, but he usually goes by Squire, a member of the Forever Knights.

"Yeah, I mean it does sound kind of farfetched," Vanessa added in as Squire turned to the group and shakes his head.

"No, it's all true. Everyone thinks dragons are creatures of myth, fiction, but they're real...at least one was, and is."

"Did you say 'is'?" Ben asked with a raised eyebrow as Squire turned to the tapestry that was hanging beside them and started retelling an old tale.

"A thousand years ago a handful of knights battled a giant fire-breathing dragon. They were the king's greatest warriors, but even they couldn't finish it off. All they could do was trap it and then build a stone fortress around it. Years went by. Dozens of farfetched dragon legends sprang up. But all the while, the knights passed the custody of the real beast down from father to son to grandson. Unfortunately, the dragon was invulnerable to every new weapon we tried on it. The latest was alien quantum-disassembler canon. We had high hopes for it and still do, but...the dragon escaped." Squire said as the team stared at him dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what he said. Not only did they find out that dragons are real, one is released into the open world. There was no telling what kind of chaos that thing will bring to the city or how the populace will react to seeing a real fire-breathing dragon. "Ben, we need you to help us."

"Wait, you're saying you want me to be part of all this? Be a knight?" Ben asked with a shocked expression on his face as his team gave Squire quizzical looks.

"Yes, Ben. Join us on our most noble of causes." Squire said while spreading out his hands dramatically as Ben blinked before grinning as he crossed his arms.

"Do I get some of that cool armor?"

"Can I have one too?" Sabrina asked as she and Ben smiled childishly at the thought of dressing up like real knights.

"What is with you?!" Gwen asked Ben, shocked at how he accepted the offer so easily without thinking ahead.

"What do you mean?" Ben asked with a raised eyebrow as Gwen narrowed her eyes at him and places her hands on her hips.

"You see a bunch of old swords and axes, and you're ready to jump in and start playing knight and shiny armor? There is still a lot, we don't know."

"Like?"

"Like, if there really is a dragon. I mean, all they got for proof are these things." Kevin said while grabbing the tapestry as he pulled on it, and it accidentally rips apart as Kevin winced. "...Sorry." The black-haired teen said to Squire, who shrugged it off.

"Well, can I at least play knight and shiny armor? Ship can be the horse!" Sabrina said enthusiastically while lifting Ship as he let out a scared beep, not liking the idea of Sabrina riding him like a horse.

"Don't even think about it!" Vanessa said while smacking Sabrina upside of her head as she glared at her. "Gwen and Kevin are right. There is still a lot we don't know. What if they are lying about the dragon? What if this was a trap?"

"Let me assure you that this isn't a trap, and there is indeed a dragon. You have my word." A long-haired man said while appearing out of the shadows as he walked over to them. The long-haired man is a 6'5-feet-tall, 35-year-old man with black eyes, long black hair that reaches past his shoulder, a big nose, prominent lips, a sharp chin, Caucasian skin, a tall muscular built, and he was wearing knights armor, minus the helmet, with a red cape and the symbol of the Forever Knights' logo on his chest. His name is Connor, one of the greatest knights out of all of the Forever Knights.

"Ben, Gwen, Kevin, Vanessa, Sabrina-," Squire started before getting interrupted by Sabrina as she glared at him.

"And Ship! Don't forget Ship!" Sabrina said while holding her pet close to her chest as Ship beeped in agreement.

"...And Ship, this Connor, the greatest of all the Forever Knights!"

"At your service or whatever you guys say," Ben says as the man glared at him and stood up straight.

"What I say is that the Forever Knights do not have doubts. So, if you or your friends have any doubts, you don't belong with us." Connor says, rather rudely I might add, as Ben gave him an annoyed look.

"Hey, you're the ones asking for help."

"Yeah, if you didn't have a problem, then you shouldn't have called us to bail you out of this dragon business," Vanessa says while standing by Ben's side as Connor glared at them.

"You insolents! The dragon will fall by my hand!"

"But, sir..." Squire said before backing away in fear as Connor turned to him.

"You take the purity of our order, by bringing in this...this..."

"This what?" Ben said while reaching for his Omnitrix as Vanessa did the same with her Zennatrix as the trio had a stare-off, which was interrupted by Squire as he came in between them to stop the imminent fight.

"My lord, it's the only way," Squire said to Connor, who was about to protest when suddenly the alarms went on and blared across the castle.

"What's that?" Sabrina asked as Squire and Connor ran over to a computer to check what tripped the alarm.

"We have been monitoring the military frequencies," Squire said as he and the others checked the video feed and their faces, minus Connor's, went pale as they saw a real-life fire-breathing motherfucking dragon taking down military planes with ease as the video feed was then cut-short as the dragon took out the last plane and everything went silent.

"Are you sure you don't need our help?" Ben asked cheekily as Connor huffed in annoyance and looked away.

---

"So, are we actually going to do this? We're really going to fight a real-life fire-breathing dragon? I don't know whether to nerd out or run for my life." Vanessa said, a little bit intimidating by the sight of the huge towering dragon flying over their heads as, after Connor had finally agreed, albeit reluctantly, to their help, the team had managed to track down the creature's location and were now going to confront it.

"Remember, all you have to do is stop it. Connor will do the rest." Squire said as Ben nodded.

"Got it," Ben said as Squire walked away.

"Okay, this might get a little intense," Vanessa stated as she saw the dragon land before them and saw that it was a huge, 20-foot-tall, 50-thousand-year-old, Dragon-like creature with small yellow eyes, small dark greenhorns, a spikey snout, dual large wings planted on his back, large skinny yet muscular arms with long three-fingered claws, dark green skin with a light green underbelly, a muscular bipedal and quadrupedal form, a long dark green tail, large three-toed feet, and has a red/white broken Galvanic Universal Translator placed directly on his chest. His name is Dragon...yeah, not the most original name ever, but whatevs. "Sabrina, I might need you and Ship to sit this one out for us, but we might need back up, so have Ship ready when we need him."

"Okay, good luck," Sabrina said as she and Ship ran off.

"What's it going to be this time, guys? Humongousaur and Coldphase?" Gwen asked as Ben and Vanessa shakes his head.

"Nah, Humongousaur's too close to what we'll be fighting," Ben explains.

"Yeah, and that Dragon is pretty old, so it must've way more aerial combat experience than me. It's better for me to pick a more grounded alien." Vanessa says as she and Ben both activated their devices.

"Thinking it through, huh?" Gwen asked, a little impressed by the duo's ingenuity, as Ben and Vanessa smirked at her before slamming their hands down on the Omnitrix and Zennatrix, respectively, as we see that they had both transformed into-

"Chromostone!/Wildfire!" Chromostone and Wildfire shouted in unison as Ben rushed forwards to confront the monster while Vanessa ripped a chunk of rock from the ground as she used it to levitate herself off from the ground and flew off into the air.

Growling softly, Dragon spotted Chromastone and Wildfire running/flying towards him as the large mythical creature was quick to spew hot flames at Ben, who crossed his arms to shield him from the attack as he was blown back a bit and, much to his surprise, Chromostone was able to absorb the attack as the transformed teen was confused on how he was able to absorb fire and stared down at his smoking hands in bewilderment. Surprised that Chromostone was able to absorb his flames, the Dragon then shakes his head and glances up at the flying Wildfire as he roared and flapped his wings as he flew up to confront the alien girl and swung his claws at her, but Vanessa was able to narrowly dodge his attack as she raised her hands and fired a big stream of hot red flames that sends the roaring Dragon back on the ground as it crashed landed on the ground.

"Blast him while he's distracted, Chromostone!" Wildfire screamed as Ben nodded with his body glowing a rainbow-like color as he raised his arms and blasted him with the same energy attack that the Dragon had fired him earlier as the huge beast roared in pain and moved a couple of steps backwards as Chromostone stops firing his attack and raised a nonexistent eyebrow as the Dragon roared at the duo, but it seemed a bit off to the alien heroes as they stared at him curiously.

"Weird, but for a second there, I thought he was trying to tell us something."

"I know, right? I wonder what he was trying to say." Wildfire commented as Dragon stared at them before flicking them away with his tail as he then shot fire at them.

With the rock that she was floating on breaking apart, a grunting Wildfire and Chromastone crashed landed on the ground as they rolled around before leaping off from the floor just as the fire blast flew past them as the alien heroes reacted quickly and landed on the ground as Wildfire lets out a battlecry and slammed her fists on the ground as she created a giant tidal wave of hot magma directly at a shocked Dragon, who was forced to take flight to avoid the attack as Chromostone saw this and used the distraction to raise his arms and fire multiple rainbow blasts at the Dragon, striking his body and his wings as the large magical beast roared in pain and fell down into the ground as he thankfully landed in the area that wasn't covered with magma.

"Nice one, guys!" Kevin cheered as Ship beeped in agreement before stopping as he sniffed the air cautiously and leaped out of Sabrina's arms.

"What's wrong, Ship?" Sabrina asked quietly as Ship sniffed the air before pointing to the right as Sabrina looked up and saw Sir Connor carrying a rather large deadly looking alien gun in his hands.

"Sir Conner, wait, Ben and Vanessa are too close to the dragon," Squire whispered to Sir Connor.

"Pity." Sir Conner responded shortly as he aimed his gun in the direction of the dragon and pulled the trigger, and the Omnitrix and Zennatrix Wielders could only watch in shock/horror as an energy blast appeared out of nowhere and blasted Dragon, but because Ben and Vanessa were too close to the supernatural beast, they were being blasted as well as Ben was able to endure the attack thanks to his absorbing powers, but the same couldn't be said with Vanessa as immense pain hit her like a freight train as she screamed loudly.

"Vanessa, Ben, no!" Sabrina screamed as she looked over at Sir Connor and glared at him as she realized he was hurting her sister and friend. "Sick him, boy! Sick him!" Sabrina ordered as Ship growled at Sir Connor and leaped into his gun.

"What on earth?!" Sir Connor exclaimed with a gasp of surprise as his gun was coated by green and black goo before sparking as it blew up and he was sent crashing into the ground.

"Ship! Ship! Ship!" Ship exclaimed as he pulled himself back together and leaped into his master's arms.

"Good boy, Ship! You saved my sister's life! After this, I am going to give you a special treat!" Sabrina exclaimed as Ship beeped joyfully and licked her face.

"Ugh…well, that smarts." Wildfire said while getting up from the crater as she saw the Dragon glaring at her and Ben before flying off as Vanessa cursed. "And he got away, perfect," Vanessa said as Ben ran up to her and transformed back to normal as he placed a concerned hand on her shoulder.

"You're okay?" Ben asked as Vanessa smiled at him weakly.

"Yeah, more or less," Vanessa says while holding her sides as she moans in pain, and Ben's eyes widen in alarm at this before growing angry as he turned to glare at Sir Connor.

"We need to talk," Ben said coldly as Sir Connor got up from the ground. "You used us."

"It wasn't personal. But if you or your friends get in my way again, it will become so." Sir Connor threatened as Ben's only response was turning into Humoungousaur and slamming Connor and Squire into their car as he glared at them coldly.

"I'm not in the mood for your stupid games! You HURT my girlfriend, so unless you want to be flattened under a mountain, you do as I saw and tell me where the Dragon's heading." Humoungousaur ordered as Connor, despite his situation, laughed at his face.

"If you're trying to scare us, it's going to take a lot more than a stripling with a fancy wristwatch, right?" Connor asked Squire, who nervously nodded.

"Absolutely!" Squire answered back as he timidly looked up to the towering alien. "We've taken a sacred oath!" The young boy said as Ben's response was to give them both blank looks and swiftly grew up to 60th feet with his dinosaur features appearing as he roared at their face. "…6200 Prospect Blvd, where the freeways meet!"

"What?"

"It's where the Dragon's going!"

"Squire!" Connor screamed in anger, but the young lad ignored him.

"The Knights found a huge relic the same time they caught the dragon. They didn't know what it was or what it did, so they hid it for safekeeping. They sent the relic to our lab to see if it had any technology they could use against the dragon. When it flew across the Atlantic Ocean, we figured it was connected to the relic somehow. And that's all I know, I swear!" Squire screamed while shutting his eyes as Ben transformed back to normal and nodded in satisfaction.

"That's fine, really," Ben said as he got in Kevin's car with the others while helping Vanessa walk over to the car as they sped off.

"Wait, I almost forgot! They think the relic is alien, but they haven't figured out what it does yet!" Squire screamed as Connor glared in the direction where the teens went.

"Pathetic."

"Ugh," Vanessa groaned in pain while holding her sides as we could see the gang driving towards the direction of the dragon with Kevin and Gwen sitting at the front, and her, Sabrina, and Ben sitting in the back as usual with Ship laying on her owner's lap.

"Are you okay, sis?" Sabrina asked, with Ben looking just as concerned as she is, as Vanessa waved off their worries.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's nothing, guys, really, but it would've been a lot worse if it wasn't for you guys. Good job." Vanessa says while leaning over to kiss Sabrina on the cheek as she rubs Ship's head, and the duo beamed at the praise as Ben smiled at this lightly before turning to his cousin and...sort of friend.

"I'm telling you, when the Dragon roared, there was a pattern, and there's something else that wasn't fire coming out of his mouth. It was more like a laser since Chromostone was able to absorb the Dragon's attack," Ben said as Kevin scoffed at him and rolled his eyes.

"So, you're saying the Dragon was trying to talk to you? No way." Kevin said, unconvinced, as Vanessa shrugged.

"Hey, weirder things happen. I mean, Ben and I can transform into aliens, Gwen can use magic, you can absorb metal, and my sister has an alien pet that can take over technology." Vanessa pointed out as everyone mumbled in agreement. "Besides, I heard it talk as well."

"Me too," Sabrina says while raising her hand.

"Ship."

"Ditto," Gwen said before turning to Ben as she smiled at him proudly. "See what happens when you listen, Ben, and think?" Gwen says as Ben smirked and nodded.

"Okay, even if he was talking, what would he be saying? I'm going to chew up like bubblegum?"

"No, he was saying, 'Leave me alone! Leave me alone!'," Omni says, speaking up for the first time in a while, as the group stares down at the powerful device confusedly.

"Wait, what do you mean by that, Omni?" Ben asked with a raised eyebrow as Vanessa's Zennatrix beeped.

"Oh, my brother was simply translating what the Dragonolitious was saying," Zeda answered calmly as the group shared bewildered looks.

"I'm sorry, but Dragonowhat?"

"Dragonolitious, that's what their alien species are called," Omni says, blowing everyone's minds as they stared down at the alien devices in shock.

"Wait, that Dragon is an alien?!" Sabrina asked with her jaws dropped as Ship beeped in alarm.

"Yeah...you all didn't know that? I thought it was obvious. Omni and I were able to pick up his alien signature when we were fighting with the Dragonolitious." Zeda says as both she and Omni were genuinely surprised that the group didn't know that the Dragon was an alien.

"Hey, wait a minute, if that thing really is an alien and was trying to talk with us, then why didn't you two translate his language for us?" Ben asked, a little miffed as Omni and Zeda beeped lightly.

"We tried, but the busted up Galvanic Alien Translator that he was wearing on his chest prevented us from being able to translate what he was saying to you all."

"Yeah, if you want us to be able to translate for you, you guys need to remove that busted up G.A.T.," Omni informed the group as they all processed what the alien devices said before Vanessa perked up as she grinned excitedly.

"Wait a minute. If that thing is an alien does, then that means that we have his species DNA in our watches?" Vanessa asked curiously.

"Yes, although its Alien DNA is currently locked away in our DNA Vault, but if you're able to get close to the Dragonolitious, I can scan its DNA so that way I will be able to unlock it for you and add that Alien DNA into your playlist." Zeda offered as Vanessa beamed.

"Oh, sweet!"

"Hey, what about me?" Ben asked with a pout as the Omnitrix beeped.

"You already have a big alien. Just let Vanessa scan this alien, and I will promise you that you will get your own Dragonolitious Transformation in the future." Omni says gently/reassuringly, as if he was a parent, as Ben groaned but nodded reluctantly as the team continued driving towards where the Dragon was flying off too. After a few hours of driving in the desert, the gang had finally managed to find the warehouse where Dragon was hiding as, after parking in front of the building and everybody getting out of the car, Ben swiftly activated his watch and slammed his hand down on the core as he transformed into-

"Spidermonkey!" Spidermonkey exclaimed as everyone raised an eyebrow at him.

"Why did you change, Tennyson?" Kevin asked as Spidermonkey turned to him.

"Omni and Zeda said that we need to get close to the Dragon and remove that Galvanic Alien Translator device from his chest in order for them to be able to translate for us, so I figured that it was best that Vanessa and I go in our alien forms so that we won't get hurt."

"Oh, good call!" Vanessa praised with her boyfriend winking at her with his two green eyes as the blue-haired girl then activated her Zennatrix and slammed her down at it as we see that she quickly transformed into-

"Hellbound!" Hellbound roared as she then crouches down and leaped up to the wall of the warehouse as Vanessa swiftly begins climbing up to the roof with Spidermonkey following after her. Entering the warehouse, the Alien Shapeshifters were able to spot the Dragon making his way into the warehouse after blasting a huge hole in the wall as Ben and Vanessa turned to each other as they nodded, and Hellbound reaches out to grab Spidermonkey as she tossed him towards the distracted Dragon.

"Ragh?!" Dragon roared out in confusion as Spidermonkey landed on his chest and grabbed the busted G.A.T. as Ben took it off the Dragon's chest just as said Dragon lifts up his scaly hands to grab Spidermonkey and tossed him away as the screeching monkey/spider-like alien flew through the air and quickly lifts up his tail to fire a giant web at the huge hole in the wall as he landed on it and was left dangling in the spider web as Spidermonkey looks up and gasp as he saw the Dragon preparing to fire another laser at him.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Easy does it! We're trying to help!" Spidermonkey yelled to Dragon, who narrowed his eyes at him as a silent Hellbound could be seen crawling near him and tapped her Zennatrix as it glowed lightly and projected a bright purple light as it began scanning a distracted Dragon head to toe and, once it was finished with its scan, the Zennatrix stopped glowing as it beeped, signaling that she was able to absorb the alien's DNA and unlocked the transformation in her alien playlist as Vanessa smirked. "So, why don't we calm down and-Oh, shit!" Spidermonkey says calmly before yelping as the Dragon reared back his head and fired a laser at him, but luckily Hellbound was able to use her enhanced speed and reflexes to leap towards Ben and managed to narrowly push him out of the way of the fire as both shape-shifters grunted from the harsh landing as Spidermonkey rubbed his head and gave his girlfriend a thumbs up.

"Thanks for the save, babe," Spidermonkey says as Hellbound gave him a wolfish smile and nodded before both of them looked up at the looming Dragon as they then reach up to tap their Omnitrix and Zennatrix symbols.

"Alright, Omni/Zeda, do it now!" Spidermonkey and Hellbound yelled in unison as Omni and Zeda beeped and activated their Universal Language Function as the Dragon roared at them furiously.

"Leave me alone! Leave me alone!" Dragon screamed as Ben, Vanessa, and the rest of the gang, who had walked into the warehouse a couple of seconds ago, couldn't help but to gape at the now talking Dragon.

"Oh, wow, you really are sentient," Spidermonkey said, still surprised that the Dragon really was an alien, as the dragon-like alien looked at Ben like he was an idiot.

"Of course, I'm sentient. Why wouldn't I be?" Dragon asked as Ben rubbed his head nervously.

"Well, at first, I-I thought you were just a, um..." Ben stammered as the Dragon narrowed his eyes at him.

"A what?" Dragon asked while huffing steam at his face as Spidermonkey shrinks back a bit.

"A-A monster."

"Yeah, well, I thought you were a monkey." Dragon retorted sarcastically.

"Oh, I don't really look like this." Spidermonkey said while slamming his hand on the Omnitrix symbol and turning back to normal. "See?" Ben asked as Vanessa transformed back to normal as well.

"Sorry, all mammals look alike to me." Dragon said as he blinked in surprise at Ben and Vanessa's transformation but shrugged it off.

"Is that racist?" Gwen muttered to Vanessa, who shrugged in response.

"What's a racist?" Sabrina asked curiously.

"I will tell you when you're older, Sabrina," Vanessa said as Sabrina pouted but nodded.

"It's not just you. Ben sort of does favor a monkey. Smells like one, too." Kevin quipped as Vanessa stifled a giggle under her breath.

"Okay, enough of that," Ben said as he briefly glared at Vanessa, who smiled cheekily at him in response as he turned back to the Dragon. "What do you want?"

"I want my ship back. My tracking signal says it's here."

"Ship?" Ship beeped in confusion from Sabrina's arms as an amused Ben pat his head.

"Not you, Ship. He means an actual spaceship, the one that is probably the relic the Forever Knights have been talking about." Ben explained as the Dragon stiffen at the name.

"The Knights? Are you one of the knights?" Dragon said while stomping his foot on the ground.

"Whoa there, big guy!" Vanessa said while coming in between Ben and the Dragon as she held out her hands to calm him down. "We're not with those assholes, but they did ask us to help catch you."

"Yeah, back when we thought you were a monster," Ben said, throwing his two cents.

"Those 'assholes', as you put it, are the real monsters! They attacked me for no reason right after I landed, broke my translator box, then locked me up in a dungeon like an animal!" Dragon ranted as he lowered his head at Vanessa and stared at her right in the eye. "You sure you're not one of them?"

"As I told you before, we are not associated with them," Vanessa said without hesitating as she turned back to Ben. "Isn't that right, Ben?"

"Y-Yeah, of course. Us, being Knights? No way. We wouldn't be caught dead wearing that armor?"

"But didn't you say you wanted to be a knight earlier-," Sabrina said, before being stopped by Gwen as she placed his hand over her mouth and shushed her gently as the Dragon stared at Ben and the others for a few seconds before nodding as he looked away.

"Ok, then." Dragon said as he turned to walk away, but Gwen stopped him.

"Wait! You're an Alien, right? What were you doing here?" Gwen asked as Dragon scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"I was making an interstellar map. Why else would anyone come to this insignificant rock?"

"You can make maps? That's pretty cool." Sabrina said as Ship beeped in agreement.

"It is." Dragon said amusedly as he looked down at the awestruck child and couldn't help to remember his own child that used to look up to him in awe as well as, the instant he remembered his family, a dark cloud stormed over his head, and the dragon-like alien turned his back against the team and started walking forwards. "Now, if you'll excuse me. I have business to take care of." Dragon said, rather darkly, as the team gave each other unease looks.

"You mean finding your ship and then heading home, right?" Gwen asked hopefully as the Dragon glared up to the ceiling.

"Oh, I'll be heading home all right. Just as soon as there's not a single Forever Knights left alive." Dragon said as his eyes glowed yellow, and he roared.

"Maybe his translator box is broken again?" Gwen asked as Kevin shook his head.

"Sorry, Gwen. Sometimes roar is a roar."

"Oh, boy. This is not good." Vanessa said nervously as Ben ran up to Dragon and tried to reason with it.

"Look, if you think about it, this is all just a really big misunderstanding-,"

"MISUNDERSTANDING!?" Dragon roared as Ben took a couple of steps back from the intensity of his roar.

"Uh, okay. Maybe 'misunderstanding' a little too weak."

"A thousand years those Forever Knights stole from me! A thousand years!"

"How long is that in dragon years?" Ben asked weakly as the Dragon gave him a blank look.

"That's a really long time." Dragon said as his face soften a little bit as pools of fond memories flooded his head. "To be away from your home...your family. The baby's probably flying by now."

"...You know, we really don't owe this mapmaker anything, and we sure don't owe anything to the knights," Kevin said as Team Alien Force glanced at him and narrowed their eyes at the former villain as they stalked towards him.

"What are you getting at?" Gwen asked.

"Yeah, Kevin. What are you getting at." Vanessa said with a low tone as Kevin shrugged nonchalantly.

"If we just get it out of here right now, who'd say anything?"

"I would," Ben said firmly as Vanessa walked over to his side and grabbed his hand.

"Me too," Vanessa said while glaring at Kevin.

"Me three," Sabrina said, looking oddly more serious than a child should, as Ship growled lightly.

"Ship!" Ship says as Kevin looked at everyone in the group before groaning as he lowered his head in defeat.

"Great, so what are we going to-,"

"Your skills are impressive...but they will not save you." An unknown voice rang out as the startled team turned around, and their eyes widened in shock as they saw a couple of alien beings standing outside of the warehouse.

One of the alien beings is a 6'2-feet-tall, 21-year-old male Revonnahgander as he resembles a humanoid feline-like alien with cat-like purple eyes, long black hair that reaches down to his shoulders, pointy ears, black markings on his face, a small nose, large pointed upper canines, a sharp chin, white stripes on his shoulders, a tall slim muscular built, black fur with a white face/chest/stomach/hands/legs, and his outfit consisted of a dark purple helmet, a reinforced dark purple battle armor with a long-sleeved black shirt underneath as the armor has a light purple chest plate, black/light purple shoulder pads, a black cape that reaches down to his legs, light purple gauntlets, black fingerless gloves, a black utility belt, long black pants, black/light purple knee pads, and black combat boots as he also carried around two swords named Dark Saber and Excalibur strapped onto his back. But the weirdest part about his outfit was the dark purple gauntlet-like band placed on his right arm as it contains a black rectangular button and wrist couplings extending up to almost half of the wearer's arm or forearm with a familiar hourglass dark purple hourglass symbol core attached to the top and another red gauntlet-like band placed on his left arm as it contains a black rectangular button and wrist couplings extending up to almost half of the wearer's arm or forearm with a hexagon-shaped red/silver symbol core attached to the top as the symbol looks like an open mouth with sharp teeth. His name is Rook Shadow, an alternative Xennotrix and Animatrix Wielder from Dimension X.

The other alien being is a 6'2-feet-tall, 20-year-old female Revonnahgander as she resembles a humanoid feline-like alien with cat-like purple eyes, long purple hair that was tied up into a high ponytail, pointy ears, white markings on her face, a small nose, large pointed upper canines, a sharp chin, black stripes on her shoulders/hips, D-Cup breasts, a tall slim muscular hourglass built, purple fur with a black face/chest/stomach/hands/legs, and her outfit consists of a red helmet with a black visor, red battle armor with black accents, black gloves, a black utility belt, and black boots as she was carrying around a silver/purple/orange blaster that was strapped onto her back. Her name is Rook Knight, Shadow's younger sister.

"Whoa! What the what?!" Ben and Vanessa said in confused unison while walking out of the warehouse with Gwen and Kevin following after them as Sabrina and Ship stayed behind with the Dragon.

"Hello, Ben. Hello, Vanessa." Shadow greeted as the Omnitrix and Zennatrix Wielder blinked in shock.

"How, did you-,"

"I'm Rook Shadow and this is my sister, Rook Knight, and I need you two to come with me."

"Who the heck are you two?" Vanessa asked while pointing at them as Shadow and Knight faltered a bit by her weird question as the male Revonnahgander pointed at Vanessa.

"I-I just told you who we are-Look, listen, listen, we're from an alternate dimension."

"How dare you point at my girlfriend?!" Ben asked angrily while pointing at Shadow, who sweatdrops as he pointed at him.

"N-No, no, no, your girlfriend pointed at me first, jackass!"

"Hey! Don't call my boyfriend a jackass, assbite! And don't you know it's rude to point at a lady? Show some class!" Vanessa yelled as Shadow turned to glare at her.

"No, you're being very rude, girly! You're not even believing what I'm saying, you're saying I'm not who I say I am when I tell you who I am..."

"Which one pointed first?" Gwen asked confusedly as Kevin scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"The one with the fancy device pointed first, obviously!" Kevin says as Gwen gave him a flat look while Sabrina and Ship laugh in the background at the funny exchange.

"...You're pointing at me right now, as you say that! Look at you! Look at your finger! Look at your finger right now! What you're doing! You're pointing! YOU'RE ACCUSING ME OF POINTING WHILE YOU'RE—!"

"I'M NOT POINTING! YOU'RE POINTING!" Ben and Vanessa screamed in unison as they continued pointing at Shadow, who pointed back at them. "I'M JUST POINTING AT YOUR POINTING, WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN NORMAL POINTING! YOU HAVEN'T SEEN POINTING UNTIL I'M THROUGH WITH YOU, AND THEN YOU'LL KNOW—,"

"OH MY GOD! CAN YOU THREE JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP, ALREADY?!" A very annoyed Knight screamed, causing the trio to shut up as Knight glared at Ben and Vanessa while pulling out her weapon as she aimed her blaster at them. "Long story short, we're here to kill you both for all of the horrible crimes you have committed to this universe!" Knight yelled while charging up her weapon as Team Alien Force gasped in shock/confusion by what she said.

"Wait, what?! Why!?" Vanessa asked in exasperation as Shadow narrowed his eyes at them.

"Oh, you two know why. You two monsters deserve what's coming for you." Shadow says while lifting up his arm to reveal his Xennotrix at the group with a sharp glare as a purple glow covered his body, and, much to everyone's surprise, they saw Shadow swiftly transforming into a rather familiar, disturbing red/black Galvanic Mechamorph.

Shadow has now transformed into a 7-feet-tall, male Galvanic Mechamorph with a black exterior, multiple dark purple stripes that travel across his whole body and resemble circuitry, his head resembles a dinosaur's head with a small light purple circle planted right where his face should be as it acts as his eye/mouth, a large yellow hole that resembles a fanged mouth, a large four-fingered clawed hand with his other arm resembling a Tachyon Cannon, a large bulky and animalistic built with a slightly hunched posture and spikes on his back, big stump-like feet and has the Xennotrix symbol planted on his forehead. His name is-

"Upgrade!" Upgrade shouted as Vanessa, Kevin, Sabrina, and Ship went wide-eyed in shock by what they see while Ben and Gwen looked like they have seen a ghost as their faces went pale and they gasped sharply as, while he was colored differently, there was no doubt that the mysterious alien had transformed into a familiar foe that they had fought and destroyed in the past.

"No way! You can transform too?! Where did you get that device?! Tell us!" Vanessa asked with a glare before blinking confusedly as she noticed how...terrified her boyfriend looks. "Uh, Ben? Are you okay?"

"No...it can't be...You can't be here! It's not possible!" Ben screamed fearfully, ignoring his girlfriend's question as he pointed up at Upgrade, who smirks widely as he chuckled.

"Ah, so you finally figured out who I am, huh, Tennyson?" Upgrade asked rhetorically as Ben gritted his teeth with deep fear in his eyes as he sweated nervously. "Come, now, Benji, why do you look so pale? You look like you've seen a ghost." Upgrade taunted, thinking that Ben has finally figured out who he was and his reputation as Upgrade walks closer to Ben, who took a couple of steps back as he reflexively raised his Omnitrix arm.

"Stay away from me. I'm warning you!" Ben yelled, terrified as Vanessa was staring at him worriedly, wondering why her usually confident friend was freaking out so much as she tentatively raised her Zennatrix arm.

"What's wrong with Ben? I've never seen him so scared before...or ever," Kevin says to Gwen, who looked nervous as well as she turned to place her hand on Kevin's shoulder.

"I would explain everything later, Kevin, but let's say that Malware is someone that Ben hates even more than Vilgax." Gwen says, surprising Kevin with her words as Sabrina and Ship could be seen watching the scene with worried eyes.

"You're warning me? Ha, ha, ha, no, I'm warning you. Do not try to stop me. You all know what I'm capable of." Upgrade says while raising his Tachyon Cannon arm at the Omnitrix and Zennatrix Wielders as he glared at them. "Now, don't move or fight, or else things are going to get difficult...but it has been a while since I had a good challenge, so forget what I said earlier. Fight me with everything you have!" Upgrade screamed while firing a large red energy blast at them as Ben and Vanessa were thankfully able to narrowly dodge it, but it ended colliding against Kevin's car as it blow up.

"Aww, man! My ride! Come on!" Kevin screamed in anguish and dismay as Shadow blinked at what he has done accidentally and turned to grin at the Osmosian Teen sheepishly.

"Whoops. Shame, it was a really nice car." Upgrade complimented as the alien duo stood up in a low crouch with Ben narrowing his eyes at Shadow furiously as he activated his device.

"Oh, trust me..." Ben trails off as he slammed his hand down on the core of his Omnitrix and a green glow covered his body as he transformed into Swampfire. "...I will!" Swampfire screamed, answering to what Shadow was saying earlier as Ben lowered his arms and fired dual large red flames that propelled him into the air as Swampfire crashed landed headfirst into Upgrade's stomach and tackle him away as they crashed landed a few feet away from the group.

"Shadow!" Knight yelled worriedly as she rushed over to help her brother, and Vanessa saw this as she turned to Gwen and Kevin.

"Guys! Distract that Knight chick! I will help Ben!" Vanessa screamed as the duo nodded and Gwen lifts up her hands as they glowed with pink energy as the redheaded girl proceeds to throw her arms forwards and created a large mana hand that reaches out to grab a surprised Knight as the red-headed girl pulled her back towards her and Kevin. "Don't worry, Ben, I'm coming!" Vanessa shouted while activating her Zennatrix as she slammed her hand down on the core and a purple glow covered her body as we see the young teenager transforming into Wave Shredder.

Crashing against the ground, Swampfire and Upgrade rolled across the ground as they wrestled around and glared at each other as they were finally able to stop rolling around, and Upgrade stood on top of Swampfire as he used his superior size and strength to overwhelm him. Grunting in effort, Swampfire thought quickly and used his body alteration powers to transform into a set of vines that buried themselves into the concrete floor underneath him as Upgrade blinks curiously, not expecting this as he looked around for his adversary before yelping in surprise as a set of giant vines burst out of the ground and strikes against his chest. Flying up in the air, a glaring Swampfire reformed his body in mid-air and ignited his fists with hot swamp flames as Ben proceeds to deliver multiple punches across Upgrade's face, causing him to grunt in slight pain as the Methanosian male then grabbed Shadow's shoulder blades and hot red flames shot out of his feet as Swampfire propelled Upgrade back down onto the ground and they crashed landed into the floor as a small crater rang out.

With a dust cloud covering the area, a couple of grunts and screams could be heard inside of the smoke cloud before Swampfire was sent flying away as he collides against the ground and bounced a couple of times before being able to stop himself mid-air as Ben landed on his feet and skidded back a few feet away as he looked up and glared at Upgrade, who stepped out of the dust cloud menacingly as he raised his Taychon Cannon and was about to fire at the Omnitrix Wielder, only for Wave Shredder to come in as she held out her hands and fired dual water whips that flew across the air as they wrapped around Upgrade's arms. Surprised by this, Upgrade turned his head and saw Wave Shredder smirking at him cockily as she lets out a battle cry and used her lightning abilities to electrocute Upgrade's body as he screamed in pain. Taking advantage of his distraction, Swampfire slammed his fist on his Omnitrix symbol and transformed into Humungousaur with a loud roar as he instantly grew up to be sixty-feet-tall and also gained his dinosaur appendages as Humungousaur went on all fours and charges over to Upgrade like a raging bully as Ben tackled him through a couple of thankfully empty warehouses. Surprised by her boyfriend's rage, Wave Shredder shakes her head to compose herself as she lowered her hands and fired dual streams of water that propelled her into the air as Vanessa flew after the boys.

"Gahck!" Knight grunted in pain as Gwen slammed her onto the floor and lets go of her as the Revonnahgander female swiftly leaped back onto her feet and got into a battle stance as she saw Gwen and Kevin running over to her with the red-headed girl lightning up her hands with magical mana energy while Kevin lowers himself onto the ground and covered himself with stone-like armor as Knight smirks slyly and took out her blaster as she pressed a button on it and it transforms itself to resemble a long silver/purple/orange saber as Knight twirled around her new weapon before grunting as she charges forwards.

Bulldozing an injured Upgrade through a couple of more warehouses, a furious Humungousaur then grabbed onto the tiny Galvanic Mechamorph transformed teen as he whirled around and slammed him against the ground as Ben raised his fists and began raining down numerous powerful punches down at Shadow with each punch causing the area around them to rumble loudly and the ground cracked violently as a giant hole appeared in the lot. Dazed by Humungousaur's strong brutal punches, Upgrade was able to compose himself in between Ben's punches and mentally told his Animatrix to transform him into an eighty-feet-tall large dinosaur/insect alien with a flash of red light. Shadow transformed into an eighty-feet-tall, male Kaosseffexx Ultimasaurias with a red head resembling that of a carnotaurus or a tyrannosaurus with pupilless purple eyes, four large black horns attached to each side of his forehead, a large black horn placed on his small nose, a fork-shaped chin, six pairs of small light purple arms with two red claws on each hand, a centipede/carnotaurus hybrid body, a segmented dark purple body with a light purple underbelly, a large dinosaur-tail with two red spikes attached at the tip, four pairs of big legs with red claws, and has the Xennotrix symbol planted on his chest. His name is-

"Tyrannopede!" The now named Tyrannopede roared loudly with his thoughts emitting from out of his Xennotrix symbol due to the species being unable to talk physically as the giant dinosaur/centipede-like alien shoots up from the giant hole in the ground and smirked as Shadow headbutted a surprised Humungousaur's chin and sends him flying back with an amazing amount of superhuman strength as a grunting Ben crashed down into the ground. "You can't beat me, Ben Tennyson! You haven't then, and you won't now!" Tyrannopede yelled while lowering his head as he fired a large stream of sticky and thick webbing from out of his horn as Humungousaur reacted quickly and moved out of the way to avoid the attack.

Narrowing his eyes, Humungousaur leaped up into the air as he reared back his fist and delivered a mighty punch at Tyrannopede's face with enough force that would shatter a mountain instantly as Shadow's higher durability was able to help him endure the attack and opened his large jaws as he proceeds to chomp on Ben's outstretched hand, easily biting through his nearly indestructible hide with his incredibly sharp and large teeth. Screamed in pain, Ben then gritted his teeth as he felt his blood leaking out of his wounds and grows angry as he began punching Tyrannopede's face multiple times with no effect as Shadow then lifted him up into the air easily and whirls around to slam him on the ground as he raised his horn and was about to try and cover Ben's body with his webbing but was stopped by Wave Shredder as she flew into the scene.

"Zeda! This would be a good time for some Dragon action!" Wave Shredder screamed as her Zennatrix symbol beeped.

"Understood, Quick Change now!" Zennatrix shouted as Vanessa nodded and slammed her scaly fist against her Zennatrix symbol as Vanessa's body was covered with a purple glow, and we see the young teenage girl slowly morphing into her own Dragonolitious transformation as she flapped her giant wings and roared. Vannessa had now transformed into a 15-foot-tall, female Dragonolitious as she resembles a dragon-like creature with small purple eyes, small light purple horns, a spikey snout, dual large light purple wings planted on her back, large skinny yet slightly muscular dark purple arms with long three-fingered claws, dark purple skin with a light purple underbelly, a bipedal and quadrupedal slim form, a long dark purple tail, large three-toed feet, and has the Zennatrix symbol located on her chest. Her name is-

"Azula!" The now named Azula screamed while flying up to Tyrannopede's head as she reared back her head and fired a stream of hot blue fire all across his face, not injuring him, but when the flames reached his eyes, Shadow couldn't help but to let out a loud painful scream as he took a couple of steps back and tried to reach up to put out the fire in his eyes, but couldn't due to his short limbs as Humungousaur sees this and reacted quickly as he looked around and spotted a nearby gasoline truck as Ben reaches out to grab it and used it as a club to smack it against Shadow's face and the flames emitting from his eyes light up the gas inside of the truck as a massive explosion occurred and it sends a grunting Tyrannopede flying away several feet away as he crashed landed onto the floor.

Letting out a loud battle cry, Knight charged over at the rest of the teammates of Alien Force as she swung at Gwen, who was able to avoid her attack as she raised her hand and fired multiple mana blasts at her with the alien warrior being able to evade her attacks by backflipping away from Gwen as Knight landed on the floor just as Kevin rushed towards her as he leaped up into the air and raised his fist as the Revonnahgander adult reacted quickly and rolled out of the way just as Kevin smashed the area where she was standing on so hard that it cracked apart as Gwen ran forwards and used Kevin's back as a springboard to jump up into the air and fired several small mana blasts at Knight in rapid succession akin to a machine gun.

Narrowing her eyes, Knight transformed her saber into a silver/purple/orange shield and used it to block Gwen's attacks as she was sent skidding back a couple of feet but otherwise remain unfazed by Gwen's assault as Knight then leaped to the left and swiftly transformed her shield back into a blaster as she fired numerous energy blasts at Kevin with them being powerful enough to leave cracks in his armor as the Osmosian boy grunted in pain but was able to endure her attacks enough to lift up his arms and proceeds to slam them on the ground, creating a mild shockwave that sends Knight flying away while Gwen was able to avoid the attack by creating a mana platform in mid-air.

Eyeing the huge dust cloud warily, the Omnitrix and Zennatrix Wielder flinched as a purple glow rang out, and a large torrent of purple flames rang out as it nearly strikes Vanessa, but she was able to narrowly avoid the attack as the smoke cloud dissipates and the duo was surprised to see Shadow transforming into his own Dragonolitious as he narrowed his glowing purple eyes at them. Shadow has now transformed into a 20-foot-tall, male Dragonolitious as he resembles a dragon-like creature with small dark purple eyes, small dark purple horns, a spikey snout, dual large dark purple wings planted on his back, large skinny yet muscular dark purple arms with long three-fingered claws, light purple skin with a dark purple underbelly, a bipedal and quadrupedal muscular built, a long light purple tail, large three-toed feet, and has the Xennotrix symbol located on his forehead. His name is-

"Azure!" The now named Azure roared out while taking off into the air as he flew past a surprised Azula, who was able to compose herself as she flew after him with a growl.

Soaring through the sky, Azure whirled around in mid-air and fired multiple large purple fireballs at the female Dragonolitious as Azula took evasive action and did some fancy ariel maneuvers to avoid his attack before rearing back her head as she fired a huge stream of blue flames at Azure. Using his giant wings to block Vanessa's fiery attack, Shadow roared loudly as he opened up his wings and flapped them violently as he dived down towards a surprised Azula and tackled her in mid-air as they started falling down while trading blows with each other as Shadow seems to be the physically stronger one out of the two of them and was delivering more brutal blows than Vanessa, but Azula was shown to be slightly faster than him and was able to block or counter some of his punches as she then used her tail to whip Azure away from him and flew up into the air. Composing himself, Azure right himself in mid-air as he glared up at a flying Azula and fired a powerful purple laser at her, which was unfortunately stopped by Ben, who flew in the form of Big Chill as he took a deep breath and fired a large cool breath that froze the purple blast in a small ice block as it fell down onto the earth.

Whirling around to glare at Big Chill, Azure opened his mouth to fire multiple purple laser blasts at the Omnitrix Wielder as Big Chill simply turned intangible/invisible to avoid the attacks and flew up to the confused shape-shifter, who looked around for Ben as the Necrofriggian appeared above Shadow and took a deep breath as he fired a huge gale of icy wind at Azure, slowly but surely freezing the male Dragonolitious's whole body, except for his head as Shadow lost control of his flight and begins falling down from the air. Grunting slightly, Shadow swiftly used his superhuman strength to break out of the ice before realizing that this alien won't be as effective against a Necrofriggian as Azure transformed himself into a large insectoid alien creature with a red flash as he flapped his wings rapidly. Shadow has transformed himself into a five-feet-tall, male Psycholeopterran with pupilless purple eyes, two antennae's placed on his head, no nose, two large sharp fangs/teeth, four big cyan-colored butterfly-like wings, four pairs of sharp arms/legs, a large insectoid bee/moth-like body, purplish-black skin color, a huge dual-stinger on his tail, and a Xennotrix symbol located on his forehead, His name is-

"Hypnotick!" The now named Hypnotick shouted mentally through his Xennotrix symbol as, before Big Chill could react, Shadow began spraying a red mist and rapidly flapping his wings as he creates a red-colored pattern of concentric and overlapping circles.

"Huh? What are you..." Big Chill says before trailing off as he stared at the red-colored overlapping circles with a mesmerized look on his face as he floated over to Shadow in a trance. "Vanessa..." Big Chill mumbles, fully hypnotized by Hypnotick's powers as he saw himself lying beside Vanessa on a beach with the sun setting in the background as they both of them wearing their swimwear and snuggling up to each other as they and their team were able to defeat the Hybreed Invasion and were even able to figure out that Max and Laura didn't die as they were currently residing in their homes safely.

"Hey! Leave him alone!" Azula roared out while flying down towards the duo as she slammed her fist onto her Zennatrix symbol, and a flash of purple light covered her body as we see that she was able to transform into-

"Mindquake!" Mindquake shouted while covering herself in a red energy field as she flew towards the boys and fired a red energy blast at Hypnotick as he was sent flying away and, due to his girlfriend's interference, Big Chill was able to break out of Hypnotick's hypnotic powers as he looked around confusedly.

"W-What's going?" Big Chill asked while rubbing his head with a groan as Mindquake flew down to him.

"I'll explain everything later. First let's deal with this guy," Mindquake says while pointing down at Hypnotick as Ben nodded.

"Got it. I only have a few transformations left before I time out, so let's finish this fast."

"Same and on it!" Mindquake exclaimed while flying down towards Shadow as Big Chill followed after her.

Flying through the air, Knight was able to compose herself fast enough to right herself in mid-air as she landed on the ground and raised her blaster as Knight spotted Gwen levitating in the air and smirked as an idea popped into her head and fired multiple blasts at Gwen as the magical girl raised her hand to create a Mana Shield but winced as numerous cracks appeared on it due to Knight's powerful energy blasts as she then yelped in fright as the Revonnahgander Warrior blasted her platform as well and caused it to break apart as Gwen fell down with a scream. Gasping worriedly, Kevin was quick to leap up and catch Gwen in his arms as he landed back on the ground, and Knight looked surprised that the Osmosian Teen actually let his guard down to help the magic-powered teenage girl before shrugging as Knight reaches over to pull out a small grenade from out of her utility belt and threw it forwards as it flew towards Kevin and Gwen and, before they could react, a large explosion occurred that broke apart Kevin's armor and briefly knocked out Gwen as they were sent flying away.

"Ugh, these two are more troubling than I thought. Usually, they would either fight alone or let the other die to escape, but these versions of Ben Tennyson and Vanessa Cunningham actually care and defend each other. Pretty weird, but all things considered, I have enough of this foolishness." Hypnotick says to himself seriously while moving over to glare at Mindquake and Big Chill as they floated above. "Alright, kiddos, I have enough of this nonsense. It's time for things to get serious." Shadow says while mentally transforming himself into another alien as we see that he had transformed into a humanoid, 7-feet-tall, male Necrofriggian as he resembles a moth-like creature that has light four purple wings and an antenna that can be folded up into a hooded robe, giving him a phantom-like appearance as he has a black body with dark purple patches on his arms/shoulders/legs/the back of his wings and the back of his head resembled ice chunks as each of his patches has a thick dark purple outline, except for the ones on his wings which are outlined in black as there is also a black line that runs on the edge of the outer margin on the back of each wing. On his torso are three dark purple plates. One resembling the chest, a shorter plate under the chest, and one resembling the stomach. On his face are purples cheeks and underjaw, a mouth that always shows purplish-white teeth, pupilless light purple eyes. The top of his head also sports a purple Y-shaped marking that extends over her scalp. He also has three pointed fingers and a thumb on each hand, and two toes on each foot, a third toe-like extension on his ankles, and has the Xennotrix symbol located on his chest. His name is-

"Big Chill!" The now named Big Chill X shouted as Mindquake and Big Chill AFU blinked at this confusedly before laughing loudly as they shared their heads at this amusedly.

"Oh, come on, Malware. Seriously? Transforming into Big Chill? I'm almost disappointed. After all of the cool new aliens that you transform, I expected for something better." Big Chill AFU says as Shadow blinked at this before laughing as well as he snorted.

"Oh, this is rich! Do you really think that I'm Malware? Ha! Don't make me laugh! I already told you who I am, and trust me, I'm not going to fight you as Big Chill. I will fight as something more...evolved." Big Chill X says while reaching over to grab the Xennotrix symbol on his chest as he rotated counter-clockwise, and the core popped out as he hovers his large black clawed hand over it. "Because, you see, kiddos, there's a time to go hero...a time to go primal...and it's time to go...ultimate!" Shadow shouted as he slapped the core down, and instantly his Xennotrix symbol unsheathed four spikes in a diagonal directional formation as Big Chill X's body was slowly consumed by a bright purple luminescent energy field and a big flash of light occurred as Ben and Vanessa covered their eyes and, once the light dies down, the Omnitrix and Zennatrix Wielders were surprised by what they saw. Shadow had now transformed into an evolved version of his Necrofriggian transformation with his appearance not changing much as his skin was recolored red, his wings/antennae have a flame design, he has flame-like crests over his purple eyes, and the Ultimatrix symbol located on his chest. He has now transformed into-

"Ultimate Big Chill!" The now named Ultimate Big Chill screamed while unflapping his wings as both Ben and Vanessa looks dumbfounded by what they see before Big Chill scoffed as he rolled his eyes.

"So, you gave yourself a re-design, big deal." Big Chill says with a shrug as Mindquake also looks unimpressed by his evolved transformation.

"Oh, you will see that I have done more than simply change the color of my skin and wings. Here let me show you." Ultimate Big Chill says threateningly while flying towards the duo at high speeds with a sinister laugh.

"Well, this was an...okay fight, more or less," Knight says with a shrug while walking over to a downed Kevin and Gwen as she glares down at them stoically. "You guys have fought well, but it's time for you monsters to say your prayers," Knight says while raising her blaster as she was about to blast them with enough power to kill them, but stopped as a running Ship appeared and leaped up as he grabbed Knight's weapon and landed on the ground as Ship tried to merge with the blaster and use it against Knight...but, much to the Galvanic Mecamorph's surprise, Ship wasn't able to merge with it as he beeped confusedly before shrugging as he decided to turn around and ran away with the weapon. "Hey! Give that back, you little Galvanic Mechamorph mutt!" Knight yelled with a growl as she chases after Ship.

"Guys! Are you okay?" A worried Sabrina asked while running over to Kevin and a knocked out Gwen to check on them.

"Yeah, we're alright. Thanks for the save, kid." Kevin says thankfully before looking down at Gwen, who groaned as she woke up from her unconscious state and opened her eyes as she sat up from the ground.

"Ugh, what happened?" Gwen asked groggily.

"Nothing much, but we still have an alien armored warrior chick to deal with," Kevin says while pointing at Knight, who was struggling to get back her weapon from a running Ship as Gwen nodded while standing up as the trio ran forwards.

Flying past the Omnitrix and Zennotrix Wielders with speeds faster than how Necrofriggian normally can fly, Ultimate Big Chill hovered above the duo as he raised his clawed hands and, much to Ben and Vanessa's surprise, the skies above them darkened as a lightning storm rang out and multiple lightning made out of ice and fire strikes down into the earth. Eyes widened in complete surprise, Big Chill turned intangible to avoid the attacks while Mindquake tried to make a shield but wasn't fast enough as an ice lightning bolt strikes her body, thankfully not killing her, but she was covered in a block of ice-fire as Mindquake begins falling down through the air. Yelping in worry, Big Chill was about to turn around and fly after his girlfriend, only to be stopped by Ultimate Big Chill as he flew down and turned himself intangible as he raised his flammed covered fists and begins raining down a multitude of flaming punches down at a grunting Big Chill.

"Now it's just you, me, and fire so cold it burns!" Ultimate Big Chill screamed while continuing his attack on Big Chill, who had deep bruises and alien blood on his body as Ben realized that he was outmatched and reaches up to tap his Omnitrix symbol as a green glow covered his body and Big Chill swiftly Quick Changed into Jetray.

"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE, YOU MONSTER!" Jetray screamed with his eyes and tail glowing bright green as he fired three neuroshock blasts that joined together to form a huge neuroshock energy beam and Ultimate Big Chill eyes widened in shock and slight worry as the beam collided against him and sends him flying back on the ground as he crashed landed on the floor so hard that a large crater was formed around him.

"Ugh...that smarts." An injured Ultimate Big Chill says while shakily getting up from the floor as he rubbed his head.

"Well, if you think that's going to hurt, then prepare to scream." A familiar robotic voice rang out as Ultimate Big Chill glances up and gasped softly as he saw about ten Soundwaves circling him and glared at the evolved alien as Vanessa was able to eventually break out of her icy-hot trap before she crashed on the ground and died.

"Dome...of...SOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUND!" All of the Soundwaves screamed as they send out multiple soundwave blasts at Ultimate Big Chill, and it formed into a dome-shaped construct made out of loud soundwaves as Shadow screamed in pain and held his bleeding ears as he couldn't concentrate enough to use his Master Control due to the pain that he was feeling, so Shadow was quick to transform the manual way and slammed his fist on his Xennotrix symbol as a bright purple glow covered his body, and we see Shadow transforming into an evolved version of a Sonorosian as he was now immune to Soundwave's attack and stoically stood up from the ground.

Shadow had now transformed into a 7-feet-tall, male Evolved Sonorosian as he was made out of living sound waves that were located inside of a tall mauve containment suit with a top-heavy lean built, a football-shaped head that has three cyan-colored circles attached to the sides of the head and at the top, pupilless purple eyes, no nose, a black mouth that was permanently shut, long mauve arms with two cyan-colored circles attached to them, four cyan-colored circles attached on the front and behind his chest, black stipes that runs from his head all the way down to his legs, fifteen blue removable speaker-like components named 'Sonic Disks' attached to his body, a marking on his back resembling a cassette tape, huge stumped feet with two pairs of cyan-colored circles attached to them, and has the Ultimatrix symbol located on his forehead. Shadow has now transformed into-

"Ultimate Echo Echo!" The now named Ultimate Echo Echo screamed while raising his arms as he detached four Sonic Disks from out of his body, and they circled around him as Ultimate Echo Echo gave all of the Soundwaves an apologetic look. "I'm sorry that I have to resort to this, but you left me no choice. Sonic...SOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNDWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Ultimate Echo Echo shouted as he fired four large soundwave attacks that joined together to form a giant wave of sound that easily overpowered Soundwave's sonic screaming and destroyed all of the clones as Soundwave crashes down onto the ground and groans in pain as Ultimate Echo Echo levitated over to a down Vanessa and mentally commanded one of his Sonic Disks to come over and hover above a nearly knocked out Soundwave. "One more should do it." Ultimate Echo Echo muttered under his breath darkly as he was about to finish the job and kill Vanessa when suddenly a red streak flies past him and Shadow saw Jetray appearing in front of a nearly unconscious Soundwave as he glared at the powerful Xennotrix and Animatrix Wielder.

"I WON'T LET YOU HURT ANYONE ELSE THAT I LOVE, MALWARE!" Jetray screamed furiously while slamming his fist on his Omnitrix Symbol as a green glow covered his body, and we see that Ben has swiftly transformed into Brainstorm. "BURN IN HELL, YOU MALICIOUS SADISTIC MURDERER!" Brainstorm shouted in rage while opening up his brain as he fired a big yellow lightning blast at Ultimate Echo Echo's body and caused him to freeze up as Shadow's body was covered with electricity.

"No! Give it! Give it! Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive it!" Knight ordered while grunting in effort to get her weapon back as she was playing tug of war with Ship, who growled softly as he then grinned and let go of the blaster, causing Knight to yelp in surprise as she fell down on her ass. "Ow! Dumb dog!" Knight says through gritted teeth as she aimed her blaster at Ship and was about to blast him apart, but was stopped by multiple Mana Disks flying past her as she turned her head and saw Gwen and the others running towards her.

Getting angry that her adversaries were being more difficult than usual, Knight raised her blaster and was about to try and shoot the trio, only for Kevin to bend down and absorb the ground below, covering his body with stone armor as Kevin then cups his hands and allowed a running Gwen to leap onto his arms as the Osmosian Teen uses his superhuman strength to launch the magical girl into the air and Gwen proceeds to fire a multitude of Mana Disks down at Knight, who was forced to transform her blaster into a shield to protect herself from Gwen's attacks as Kevin used this advantage to rip apart a piece of the concrete from the ground and tossed it over to a distracted Knight as it collided against her stomach and the grunting alien warrior was sent flying back as she crashes down onto the floor.

"AAAAARRRGHHHHH!" Ultimate Echo Echo screamed in pain as he felt his body getting covered with 20,000 volts of yellow electricity and felt his containment suit getting damaged as, not wanting his suit to blow up and destroy the city and plenty more, Shadow swiftly mentally commanded his Xennotrix to transform him into another alien with a flash of purple light. Shadow has now transformed into a 7-feet-tall, Citrakayah male as he resembles a feline-like alien with pupilless dark purple eyes, a triangle-shaped nose, dark purple spikes sprouting out of his shoulders/face/back, dark purple spike-like blades on his arms/legs, four-fingered hands, a humanoid body, no toed feet, a light purple mask-like fin's around his eyes, a light purple suit-like color scheme with his hands/legs/chest being colored light purple, a dark purple thunderbolt-like design down on his chest, a dark purple triangle design on his back, and has the Xennatrix symbol located on his left shoulder. His name is-

"Fasttrack!" The now named Fasttrack shouted as Brainstorm was surprised by his sudden transformation and lost his concentration as Shadow used this advantage to get away and ran a full circle around him as he was about to attack Ben, but stopped as he gasped at the sight of his sister getting hit with a rock by a glaring Kevin and his eyes widened at the sight of Sabrina standing near the others as he narrowed his eyes and turned to glare at Ben and a groaning Vanessa furiously. "MONSTERS! YOU DARE BRING AN INNOCENT CHILD TO USE AS A SHIELD ON THE BATTLEFIELD! YOU TWO ARE SICK!" Fasttrack screamed with a scowl as a confused Brainstorm and Soundwave raised an eyebrow at him, but didn't have time to say anything as Shadow rushes away, and uses his amazing speed to blitz both Kevin and Gwen and grabbed Sabrina as he then ran her over to the warehouse. "Alright, kid, you might want to stay here and hide while my sister and I deal with those two evil overlords and their sadistic minions. I don't know what they told you, but they're evil powerful warlords that like to take over planets or blow them up for their own sick enjoyment, but don't worry, you're safe now." Fasttrack says reassuringly before blinking in surprise as Sabrina glared up at him and pointed at him angrily.

"Don't try to lie to me! My sister and her boyfriend are not evil whatsoever! They're both great heroes, unlike you and your mean old sister! Why don't you two go and leave us alone!" Sabrina screamed while kicking his feet as Shadow didn't feel hurt by her attack but was left feeling extremely confused by what she said as Fasttrack scratches his head in thought before hearing the fight outside as he reacted quickly and runs off, leaving behind Sabrina as she huffed...only to notice that a certain Dragon wasn't around as she looked around for him curiously.

"Are you okay, my Sonorosian transformed girlfriend?" Brainstorm asked Soundwave worriedly as she groaned and nodded before she and Ben gasped as Fasttrack appeared and begins running around them so fast that he resembled a purple blur as Soundwave stood up from the floor and looked around warily as Brainstorm merely grinned widely and turned to his girlfriend. "Vanessa, darling, when I tell you too, fire a sonic scream." Brainstorm says as Soundwave nodded and Ben turned back to a running Shadow as he smirked cockily. "I'm sorry to say, my most foul and malicious of enemies, but, while you may be the fastest alien around, I'm the fastest thinker alive." Brainstorm says while swiftly coming up with some calculations to predict where Fasttrack was going to run to without him being able to react to his and Vanessa's attack as Ben suddenly whirled around and opened up his brain as he fired a yellow electrical blast in the air that was able to strike a running Fastrack.

"AAARGH!" Fasttrack grunted out in pain as he felt his body freeze, rendering him unable to move as Brainstorm turned to Soundwave.

"Quick, my darling, blast him!" Brainstorm shouted as Soundwave nodded and reared back her head as she fired a large soundwave blast that collided against Fasttrack, causing him to grit his teeth in pain as he was sent flying back a few feet away but, while he was skipping across the ground like a pebble, Shadow quickly used his Animatrix to transform into another predator alien with a flash of red light as he was able to stop himself in mid-air and skidded across as Shadow growled softly. Shadow has now transformed into a 20-feet-tall, male Vicetopus as he resembles a giant crap/octopus-like hybrid with two large light pupilless purple eyes, three pairs of small dark purple horns on his head, a large black beaked mouth, four pair of dark purple tentacles attached to his stomach, brown spots covering his back, a long huge slimy rubbery body, dark purple skin, and has the Animatrix symbol located on his chest. His name is-

"Vicetopus!" The now named Vicetopus shouted through his Animatrix symbol as Brainstorm sweated nervously at the sight of it.

"Oh, dear." Brainstorm says nervously, recognizing his predatory alien as Vicetopus smirks down at him smugly and reaches out to grab Ben with two of his tentacles as he slowly brought him over to him.

"Hey! Leave him alone!" Soundwave screamed while duplicating herself up to three as the girls all let out loud sonic screams at Vicetopus...to no effect as the sonic soundwaves bounced off his slimy skin.

"It's no use, dear Vanessa. Soundwaves and electrical waves are useless against a Vicetopus." Brainstorm says while sweating nervously as Shadow brings him over to try and eat him up. "...But he's not immune to fire or acid! Quick, Vanessa, throw one of your clones at me and have her slam her fist into my Omnitrix symbol!" Brainstorm shouted as Vanessa nodded, and her clones grabbed her arms as they swayed her back and forth before generating enough momentum to toss her forward as Soundwave flew through the air and was able to reach her boyfriend just as Shadow was about to eat him whole as Vanessa raised her arm and grunted as she slammed her fist into Brainstorm's Omnitrix symbol and a flash of green light occurred as we see Ben transforming into another alien form.

Ben has now transformed into a 6-feet-tall, male Polymorph as he resembled a 200-pound, single-celled-organism that is neither liquid nor solid but a colloidal suspension as he has a humanoid body made out of a pile of goo that can take any shape at will, bright green eyes, no nose/mouth, spikey shoulders, long four-fingered thick hands, a slim thin built, giant stumped feet, and has a small nearly indestructible UFO-shaped device hovering above his body and projecting a field of artificial gravity that allows him to be mobile in Earth's stronger gravity and also projects his voice. His name is Goop.

"Ewwwwww!" Vicetopus says in disgust while pushing Goop and Soundwave away from his beak as Ben grins up at him.

"Actually, it's Goooooooooop!" Goop quipped while using his Anti-Gravity Projector to whirl around his acidic body, and Shadow screamed in pain as he felt his tentacles burn up and reflexively lets go of the duo, who began falling down in the air as Soundwave was quick to slam her hand on her Zennatrix symbol and transformed into-

"Wildfire!" Wildfire shouted while summoning a stream of flames from out of her hands and feet that propelled her into the air as Goop used his Anti-Gravity Projector to fly away and a grimacing Vicetopus glared at the duo as a purple glow covered his body and we see him transforming into another alien with a roar.

Shadow has transformed into a 15-feet-tall, male Loboan with small pupilless light purple eyes, long flowing fluffy dark purple mane, two small dark grey ears with light purple insides, a long dark grey snout with a black nose and sharp yellow fangs/teeth, a light purple tongue, spiked elbows/shoulders, dark grey big muscular four light-purple clawed arms, a top-heavy muscular lean built, dark gray skin with light purple fur, a large bushy light purple tail, lean semi-muscular four light-purple clawed feet, and his outfit consisted of a sleeveless dark purple suit with black and mauve accents, a light purple collar as it had the Xennotrix symbol located in the center of it, light purple fingerless wristbands, a black/mauve belt, and no shoes. His name is-

"Blitzwolfer!" The now named Blitzwolfer roared while lowering his head as he opened up his quadra-hinged muzzle into four parts and fired a powerful purple ultrasonic howl that propelled him into the air as he soared through the sky like a rocket and appeared above the Omnitrix and Zennatrix Wielders. "Your Omnitrix and Zennatrix will run out of energy soon! Unlike me, you two don't seem to have Master Control, so yield!" Blitzwolfer shouted while sending another ultrasonic howl that impacted Ben and Vanessa's body, causing them to scream in pain as Goop's body was destabilized while Wildfire's flames dimmed. "Yield!" Shadow screamed while letting out another ultrasonic howl that destabilized and injured Ben and Vanessa's body even more. "YIELD AND ACCEPT YOUR FATE!" Blitzwolfer yelled as he reared back his head and fired one last powerful ultrasonic howl that impacted against Goop and Wildfire's bodies that sends them flying down to the ground at high speeds as they crashed landed onto the ground so hard that a big crater was formed around them and their Omnitrix and Zennatrix symbols began flashing red as they transformed back into their human forms with a couple of red flashes.

"BEN! VANESSA! SHIP!" Gwen, Kevin, Ship shouted in shock and worry while stopping their fight to turn over at the down, injured heroes in horror as a curious Knight stopped fighting as well and turned over to watch the scene closely.

"V-Vanessa, are you okay?" A bruised Ben asked while crawling out of the crater as a groaning Vanessa nodded.

"Yeah, bruised, and cracked ribs here and there, but I'm alright," Vanessa says with a whimper as Ben nodded while helping her out of the crater with a wince just as Blitzwolfer landed in front of them as the duo reflexively got into a battle stance.

"You two are done. Your Omnitrix and Zennatrix are timed out, and you're too injured to fight, so just give up and accept your destiny." Blitzwolfer says as Ben glared at him while spitting out his teeth as he put up his dukes.

"Fuck destiny, Malware! Omnitrix or not, I'm still going to kick your ass!"

"Yeah! We won't give up so easily, Malware! We won't stop fighting until our dying breath!" Vanessa yelled while cracking her neck as Shadow blinked at this a couple of times in shock before grinning as he laughed.

"Magnificent! One last stand against me! A climactic showdown! If you want to fight me without your devices, then be my guess! It'll make your final defeats all the more satisfying! And, in fact, to make things more fair, I'll fight you two without my devices." Blitzwolfer says while closing his eyes as he transformed back into his Revonnahgander form with a flash of purple night. "Not that I need them to kill you two, but I will warn you two, I fight dirty, and I'm not afraid to hit women," Shadow says while pulling out his swords as Ben and Vanessa give him tired yet cocky grins.

"Neither am I...jinx!" Ben and Vanessa said definitely in unison before turning to each other to share a smirk and a high five as Shadow rolled his eyes at this and scoffed.

"Oh, please, you two are the evil warlords that I've heard about? You two are just children! Barely even a couple of warriors!"

"Well, that's good to hear because we're not good warriors," Ben started.

"We're great heroes!" Vanessa finished with a smirk as Shadow snorted in amusement.

"Yeah, right, you two are just a couple of weak, pathetic nobodies."

"Oh, that's it!" Ben and Vanessa shouted in unison with deep glares in their faces as they charged over to Shadow, who rushed towards them as well as the trio were about to have a brutal showdown of epic proportions but was stopped by a familiar green/purple light materializing into the Earth as a figure could be seen standing in between them.

The figure was really a 5-inch-tall, 1700-years-old, male Galvan as he resembled an anthropomorphic frog with small squinting rectangular-shaped black pupils that has light green sclera and eyelids that open and close horizontally, a large bald head, no nose, a sharp chin, a pair of four gills attached to each side of his neck, four thin tendrils grow out of his lower jaw while two longer ones grow out of his upper jaw as it gives him the appearance of having a beard, four-fingered large gray hands, gray wrinkly skin, a slender built, and four-toed gray big feet, and his outfit consisted of a green/purple Galvan Tunic with black sleeves, a black stripe running down his chest and abdomen with a black belt surrounding his waist, and there was also a couple of silver plattings on his neck, shoulders, wrists, legs, leaving his toes exposed. His name is Azmuth, the creator of the Omnitrix and the Zennatrix, and the smartest being in three galaxies...arguably five.

"Azmuth!" Ben, Vanessa, and Shadow exclaimed in shock/surprise as Azmuth looks between the trio and spotted the Xennotrix and Animatrix planted on Shadow's wrists as he sighs heavily.

"It seems that an explanation is in order."

---

"So, now that we all have calmed down and this asinine fighting is over, can I ask my questions?" Azmuth asked while sitting in between the glaring Alien Force Team (Sans Sabrina) and Shadow and Knight on the ground as the group had ceased their fighting momentarily due to the First Thinker's intervention, and Gwen had decided to use this opportunity to use her magic to heal up Ben and Vanessa's wounds.

"After you answer a few of my own like how did Malware return? And since you came here and most likely knew about it, why didn't you tell me?! You know what that monster has done to me, so why didn't you tell me that Malware was alive!?" Ben asked with a glare, getting riled up again as Gwen and Vanessa grabbed his shoulder and hand comfortably.

"Easy, Ben, take it easy." The girls said in unison as Ben took a deep breath to calm down but continued glaring at Azmuth and Shadow.

"Yes, I know what Malware has done to you, Tennyson, and trust me, if he has returned, you will be the first one I call. I can reassure you of that, but this man here is not Malware."

"What? How can you be sure?" Ben asked with a confused glare.

"Yeah, I have to agree, we saw him transform into Malware...albeit, he was purple, but still, this so-called Shadow transformed himself into Malware." Gwen says as Vanessa, Kevin, and Ship look in between the Tennyson Cousins curiously/worriedly.

"Okay, can someone please tell me who Malware is? Because judging by Tennyson's reaction, he seems to be a pretty big deal." Kevin said.

"Yeah, what did he do to you, Ben?" Vanessa asked concernedly as a dark look appeared on Ben's face before growing solemn as he closed his eyes.

"I-I can't talk about this with you, Vanessa, yet. I'm sorry, i-it's just...too traumatizing to say. I promise that I will tell you eventually, but today is not the day." Ben says with a tear running down his eye as a sympathetic Vanessa reaches over to wipe away his tear and then gave him a small kiss on the cheek.

"It's okay, Ben. You don't have to tell me about Malware right now. I'll wait until you feel comfortable to tell me." Vanessa says reassuringly as Ben sighs in relief and smiled at her in relief as Shadow and Knight look at their interaction in stunned shock.

"Okay, what is going on with you guys?" Shadow asked with a confused glare.

"What do you mean by that, assbite?" Kevin asked with a growl as Knight glared at him and was about to move in to attack him, but stopped as Shadow signaled her to stop.

"Look, what we don't understand is why all of you seem to be so...nice. When we traveled into this universe, my devices told me that this was the universe where evil versions of the Alien Force Team had become evil servants of Vilgax and...ugh...Maltraunt, but ever since we followed you from that local gym, your actions have all but negated that."

"Hmmm, it seems that your devices are suffering a malfunction," Omni added sarcastically.

"Yeah, a pretty bad one if they think that our owners are evil," Zeda says with a laugh as the Xennotrix and Animatrix AI's beeped angrily.

"Hey! At least we're not weak, pathetic knock offs!" Xennotrix yelled.

"Yeah!" Animatrix exclaimed as the four devices began arguing with each other.

"Enough!" Azmuth shouted, stopping the fighting in between the shape-shifting devices instantly as the Omnitrix, Zennatrix, Xennotrix, and Animatrix all shut up with a sheepish beep. "Anyway, I can see that my theory was right. You two really are from another universe." Azmuth says while stroking his beard as Shadow turned to nod to him respectfully.

"Yes, we are, First Thinker Azmuth."

"Wait, hold on, other universes do exist?!" A bewildered Vanessa asked as Azmuth nodded to her with a 'Duh!' look on his face.

"Of course, alternative universes and dimensions exist, Cunnigham. Do you really think that our universe is the only one in the Multiverse? Please, there are trillions of other alternative universes like a universe where I've never invented the Zennatrix and only invented the Omnitrix, a universe where Ben didn't get the Omnitrix and Gwendolyn here got it instead, or even a universe where I've never created neither an Omnitrix nor a Zennatrix, to begin with. Hell, when I was creating the Omnitrix and the Zennatrix, I've even met a younger, alternate version of myself, who was traveling across the Multiverse to get some ideas in creating a new invention...apparently creating a machine that can travel across universes wasn't that big of a deal for him, but whatever and got the idea to create his own Omnitrix and Zennatrix after seeing my blueprints."

"Heh, I've even given him an idea to create an Omnitrix and a Zennatrix that has the ability to work together and fuse each other aliens into an amalgamation of a powerful hybrid being that is capable of sharing appearance, mannerisms, DNA, and abilities of two alien species or more, and call his devices the 'Biomnitrixes'...not sure if he understood that I meant it as a joke, but whatever, that's beside the point. Anyway, after meeting up with my dimensional double, I've decided to create a machine that is capable of alerting me when beings of other universes entered our own universe, and it seems that it works on the account of it informing me of these two presences." Azmuth says while pointing at Shadow and Knight as Ben and the others turn to them in shock.

"So, wait, you're really not Malware? And simply another version of me?" Ben asked with a raised eyebrow as he felt the extreme anger that he was earlier fade away upon the realization.

"Yes, I'm not Malware, Ben, and more or less. The Multiverse is this big complicated thing that takes time to truly understand, but to answer your question, yes, in a sense, I am an alternative version of you. My name is Rook Shadow, a Xennotrix and Animatrix Wielder, and this is my sister, Rook Knight. We're both Revonnahgander Warriors from the destroyed universe Dimension X." Shadow explains as Alien Force went wide-eyed by the news.

"Xennotrix and Animatrix, huh? Good names, I will give the alternate me some props...I was the one who invented your devices, right?" Azmuth asked as Shadow nodded.

"More or less. You only invented the Xennotrix and sent it Revonnah due to Vilgax trying to steal it, and the Xennotrix landed close to where I live when I was just 10 years old."

"Huh, I see that you got one of your devices from when you were 10, as well, huh? Neat, but I have to ask, how were you able to stay powered up throughout the fight? You transformed way more than us, and yet you were able to stay in your alien forms far longer than us." Ben said with a semi jealous tone in his voice.

"And what was the whole deal with the going Ultimate thing you mentioned earlier?" Vanessa asked curiously.

"Oh, that's easy. I was able to stay in my alien forms for a long time thanks to my Master Control Function, and judging by the fact that you two transformed back, it seems you both don't have it, right?" Shadow asked as Ben nodded with a groan while Vanessa looks confused.

"Yeah, and seriously, dude? You have Master Control? That's so unfair!" Ben whined as Azmuth rolled his eyes at his Omnitrix wielder's antics.

"Wait, what's Master Control?"

"Oh, Master Control is this function that allows the user to stay as an alien for however long they want and be able to transform from one alien to another with a simple thought. I was able to accidentally unlock it when I was ten, but...I may have deactivated when Vilgax and Kevin tried stealing the Omnitrix from me."

"Ha, ha, oh, yeah, I remember that. I can't believe that you thought Vilgax wouldn't be able to reactivate the Master Control Function after you deactivated it, Tennyson. You lost your chance to be an alien 24/7 for nothing." Kevin says with a laugh as Ben glared at him venomously while Vanessa pouted.

"Awww, that sounds so cool! I want to have Master Control...oh, Zeda! Do you mind activating the Master Control Function for me?" Vanessa asked hopefully/eagerly as the Zennatrix beeped.

"Sorry, but neither Omni nor I can unlock Master Control for you guys. Only our father can activate them." Zeda explains as Vanessa and Ben turned over to Azmuth pleadingly.

"No, I'm not giving you both Master Control until your both eighteen and mature more." Azmuth stated sternly with a serious glare as the Omnitrix and Zennatrix Wielders pouted.

"Anyway, to answer your other question, I also have a feature called the Evolutionary Function. It's a feature that has the ability to evolve my aliens into their 'Ultimate Forms', granting them new powers and new abilities that are more powerful." Shadow says as Ben and Vanessa stared at him in awe and shock at what he says while Azmuth looks intrigued.

"Ah, so it means that your Azmuth was able to add in an Evolutionary Function into your Xennotrix, huh? I'm planning on doing something like that too the Omnitrix and Zennatrix."

"What?! Seriously!? You mean we would have Ultimate Aliens as well?!" Ben and Vanessa exclaimed in excitement and shock as Azmuth nodded.

"Yes, but I wasn't able to finish creating the Evolutionary Function chips yet, so you two have to wait a while to get them," Azmuth says as the duo groaned, but nods as Ben turned to Shadow.

"So, I have to ask, when I was Brainstorm and you transformed into that Vicetopus form of yours, I was able to figure out that it was the Predator of a Cerebrocrustacean...Brainstorm's species." Ben added in after noticing the confused looks on Vanessa, Gwen, Kevin, and Ship's faces.

"Yeah, right. My Animatrix gives me the ability to transform into any non-sapient being that I want. Including the predatory creatures of my aliens." Shadow says as team Alien Force nods in understatement while Azmuth looks unimpressed.

"Oh, that sounds like a cute device...for a cheap knock-off of an Omnitrix." Azmuth not so subtly insulted as Shadow and Knight glared at him as Ben, Vanessa, and Kevin chuckled.

"Anyway, we wanted to say that we're sorry for attacking you guys. Ever since we left our universe, we've been kept busy by fighting evil versions of you guys throughout the Multiverse, and when we came here and followed after you, we thought that you were evil like all of the other countless versions we've encountered so far. That was our mistake, sorry." Knight apologized as Team Alien Force turned to each other and shared a secret message as they turned back to the duo and nodded.

"It's okay, I guess. We can see the misunderstanding, but wait, were you stalking us earlier?" Gwen asked with a weirded-out look on her face as Shadow and Knight had the decency to look sheepish.

"Err, yeah, we had spotted you all at that Local Gym in Bellwood, and we were curious about what you were all planning, so we decided to spy on you," Knight says.

"Yeah, we saw everything from your meeting with Sir Connor and Squire at the Forever Knights' Castle, you guys fighting the Dragon, and when you all went to the warehouse as that was the point we decided to reveal ourselves to you after my sister had delayed the Forever Knights a bit. Admittedly, in hindsight, we should've probably figured out that you guys weren't evil when Ben didn't kill either Sir Conner and Squire in his interrogation, and when you guys didn't destroy the Dragon and instead wanted to help him out." Shadow says while rubbing his neck nervously with a laugh.

"Yeah, so maybe next time, you get your facts right before attacking someone," Kevin says with a growl as Gwen placed an arm on his chest to calm him down and the others mumbled in agreement, but then Vanessa blinked as a look of realization appeared on her face.

"Wait a minute, what happened to the Dragon?" Vanessa asked, surprising the others as they were so busy fighting Shadow and Knight that they completely forgot about him.

"What Dragon?" A confused Azmuth asked as everyone stood up from the floor.

"We'll explain everything later to you, Azmuth," Ben says while bending down to grab the Creator of the Omnitrix and Zennatrix as Ben then placed him on his shoulder.

"Guys, guys!" Sabrina screams while appearing out of nowhere as she ran out of the warehouse and made her way over to the group. "The Dragon is currently gearing up to fight all of the Forever Knights, and I have spent the last hour trying to convince him otherwise, but he just ignores me! I need your help in-Wait, who's that?" Sabrina asked while pointing up at Azmuth as a happy Ship made his way over to rub against Sabrina's legs.

"Oh, this is Azmuth, sis. The guy that I told you about. You know, the Creator of my Zennotrix and Ben's Omnitrix." Vanessa says.

"Oh, then hello. Nice to meet you." Sabrina says with a bright smile as Azmuth smiled softly at the polite little girl and nods.

"Likewise," Azmuth says as Sabrina nodded before turning to gasp at the sight of Shadow and Knight as she glared at them.

"Don't worry about them, sis. These guys are on our side now. They thought that we were evil but Azmuth showed up and helped us clear up the misunderstanding. You can trust them...for now." Vanessa says as Sabrina frowned a bit suspiciously but didn't have time to think about it as a loud explosion occurred, and the team was forced to duck for cover as they turned their heads and saw Sir Connor standing a couple of feet away from them with some reinforcements as he also had a new gun in his hands.

"Great. The trigger happy douchebag is back and with back up." Vanessa muttered with a glare before ducking as Connor shot at them again, but thankfully, Gwen was able to create a Mana Shield that protected them from the blast.

"Tennyson, I think this is a time that you usually come up with a plan, right?" Azmuth says to Ben pointedly as the brown-haired boy nods.

"You're right. Gwen, Kevin, Sabrina, Ship, you all go out there and tell them that this is all a big misunderstanding. "Vanessa, Azmuth, and I will work on the Dragon," Ben says as his team nodded.

"Mind if we join in?" Shadow asked with his sister nodding in agreement as Ben, however, frowned a bit and shakes his head.

"Sorry, guys, but we barely don't know enough about you to fully-,"

"Sure, Knight, go and help out Gwen and the others. Shadow, you can come with us." Vanessa says as the duo nodded and split up as Knight went with Gwen and the others to confront the Forever Knights while Shadow stayed behind as Ben turned to his girlfriend in disbelief.

"Vanessa, what are you-,"

"Ben, I do agree with you that I don't trust Shadow and Knight yet, but we don't have to trust them. Just fight with them. You get that?" Vanessa asked sharply, mentally saying that they don't have time to argue about this since the Dragon could come out guns blazing any minute now, and the Forever Knight will reach the warehouse eventually, so they need to act now before it's too late.

"Hmmm, Cunnigham has a point, Tennyson. Let's not waste any more time and go." Azmuth commanded firmly as Ben sighs heavily but nodded as the small group began venturing into the warehouse.

"Hold it!/Stop!/Don't shoot!/You don't understand!/Ship!" Gwen, Kevin, Sabrina, Knight, and Ship all shouted while waving their arms around as they walked over to the Forever Knights, who lowered their guns at the sight of the teens as a glaring Sir Conner stepped up to talk to them.

"Trying to save that monstrous beast once again, are you?" Connor asked before lowering his gaze to Ship as he wrinkled his nose in disgust. "And I advise you, little girl, if that mutt destroys my gun yet again, I will put it down," Conner said with a dark tone as Sabrina whimpered in fear and held Ship tighter to her chest.

"Look, it's really an alien," Gwen said as Knight pulled Sabrina behind her and glared at Connor.

"Yeah, it's just trying to get home, so why don't you and the rest of your puny Knights stand down before things get ugly." Knight threatened with a glare as Sir Conner turned to glare at her fiercely.

"No! It's not going to escape us, not this time." Sir Conner screamed as we cue back over to the group, who were able to find the Dragon's Ship and walked inside of it as they saw said Dragon staring at an array of really dangerous-looking weapons planted on the wall as he grabbed one of them.

"Weapons?" Ben asked, surprising the Dragon with the group's presence as he whirled around to face them.

"Oh, are you all done fighting now? Great. That kid must've told you what I was planning and, just for you to know, none of you will stop me from getting my revenge. I've waited far too long for this moment, and I won't let a couple of kids with magic watches get in my way." Dragon says darkly while charging up his weapon as he walks up to the group and glared down at them with his eyes glowing yellow. "Now, get out of my way."

"You don't have to do this," Ben says with a sympathetic gaze as the Dragon simply gave him a cold, angered look.

"I know, but I want to."

"No, you don't. You don't really want to get revenge on the Forever Knights. That's just your anger talking. What you really want to do is go back to your family and forget this mess ever happen." Vanessa stated calmly as the Dragon simply huffed at what she said in annoyance and checked his gun.

"You don't know what you're talking about, child." Dragon said as Shadow snorted and rolled his eyes.

"Oh, yeah, we have no idea what we're talking about. We're all just a bunch of dumb kids, am I right?"

"Yes, you are," Dragon says, not understanding that Shadow was being sarcastic as he then glares down at them with a growl. "Now, I don't want to repeat myself again. Get...out...of...my...way." Dragon says seriously, looking like he wants to cover the area with Forever Knights' blood as the group glanced at each other worriedly.

"Look, all he was doing was making a map. He wasn't going to hurt anybody." Gwen said as Sabrina nodded while glaring at the Forever Knights with such ferocity that it seems unnerving coming from a child.

"Yeah! All he wanted to do was to add our planet to his map and go home, but you jumped him and unjustly imprisoned him for a thousand years! Just leave the poor guy alone! He suffered enough!"

"He didn't even mean to scare anybody. The whole thing is just kind of ridiculous." Gwen said, trying to lighten the mood, but it didn't work as Connor glared at her and tighten his grip on his gun.

"Ridiculous? I took an Oath passed down through 50 generations. We all did."

"Yeah, but-,"

"We live to destroy that dragon, and we will do it right here, before this day is over!"

"I don't think you been listening to me. I am trying to tell you-,"

"Heads up!" Kevin screamed as he tackled Gwen to the floor just as Connor's energy blast flew past them and hit the wall.

"Okay, buddy. You don't want to talk? Fine." Knight said as she pulled out her blaster and morphed into a long saber as she twirled it around before taking a fighting stance as the young female warrior smirked at the Forever Knight. "Let's dance instead. Kid? You and your Galvanic Mechamorph Pet should take cover and stay safe."

"O-Okay," Sabrina says awkwardly as she and Ship backed away a bit as Knight nodded in approval before turning to charge at Conner, but was blocked by one of the Forever Knights as Knight smirked and slid between his legs as she then kicked him where the sun don't shine with the Forever Knight covering his crotch in pain and fell to the ground with a whimper as the Revonnahgander female coolly stood up and smirked at the nervous-looking group of Forever Knights.

"Now, don't be shy, boys~. There's plenty of ass-kickings to go around." Knight said with a grin as Sir Conner glared at her before turning to his men.

"Come on, men! Let's show this Revonnahgander what we're made of!"

"Oh, I know what I'm made off, you xenophobe. I'm made of flesh and bones that can break and blood that can spill, just like you. Here, let me show you!" Knight says with a grin and a laugh as she rushed forwards at high speeds, and The Forever Knights tried to retaliate and fight her off, but they were too slow for her as she sliced, punched, and kicked them aside like they were ragdolls.

"Ugh, ow." Gwen groaned as she slowly stood up from the floor and rubbed her head as she was so distracted from the energy blast that Gwen didn't notice a Forever Knight closing in on her until it was too late as he grabbed the red-headed magical girl from behind and threw her back on the ground. Seeing this, Kevin grows angry as he quickly went to her defense and ran at the Forever Knight and threw a haymaker that knocked him to the ground as the young alien smirks before getting a nervous look as Kevin noticed that he was surrounded by more Forever Knight Members.

"Uh, time-out?" Kevin asked sheepishly as Sabrina peeked over the crate she was hiding behind and saw Kevin in trouble as she gasped before turning to Ship.

"Ship! Ball mode!" Sabrina screamed as Ship beeped before morphing into a giant ball as he bounced over to Kevin and landed in between him and the Forever Knights. "Now...expand!" Sabrina shouted as Ship bloated up like a giant balloon and blew up as Kevin watched in fascination at the Forever Knights being sent flying away before falling back down onto the ground, unconscious as the black-haired teen looked down at the reformed Ship and petted him.

"Good boy!" Kevin said with a smile as Ship nodded before bouncing back with his master as Kevin bend down and absorbed the concrete below. With his armor on, Kevin resumed the fight and rushed forwards as he began knocking out multiple Forever Knights left and right.

"Man, who knew taking down Forever Knights was so easy?" Knight said mockingly as she slashed down another knight before kicking one away as she placed her hand on her hip. "I mean, I'm kicking your asses without breaking a sweat." Shadow's Sister said with a grin as one tried to sneak up on her and threw a punch, which she caught nonchalantly as she judo flipped him onto the ground. "Again, easy. If you small fries won't give me a challenge, then maybe your boss will." Knight said as she turned to Sir Connor and saw him aiming at an armored-up distracted Kevin as Knight's eyes narrowed at the sight of this and turned to look at Gwen.

"Gwen!" Knight screamed while whistling to get the Mana-Powered Teenager's attention as she then pointed at Kevin, and Gwen nodded as she shakily got up from the ground and used her mana powers to grab Connor as the old Knight didn't have time to react as Gwen slammed him to the wall so hard that he grunted in pain and lets go of his gun.

"Ship! Destroy his gun!" Sabrina screamed while suddenly appearing by Knight's side as Ship nodded obediently and leaped at the gun, covering it with his technological controlling goo as Ship programmed the gun to self-destruct, and it blew up into a million pieces as Sabrina then walked over to a struggling, grunting Sir Conner as Sabrina smirked up at him cockily. "Now, what did you say that you will do to Ship if he ever destroys your gun again?" Sabrina asked rhetorically as Connor glared at her and struggled again but couldn't escape as Gwen had a good grip on him. "Yeah, that's why I thought, bitch." Sabrina says smugly with Ship quickly reforming his body back to normal as he crawled over to leap onto Sabrina's shoulder with an excited beep.

"Heh, I'm starting to like this kid," Knight says to Gwen with a grin as the magical girl, and the Osmosian Boy walked over to the group.

"I can say the same with you," Gwen says with a sly smirk as Knight smirked back at her before turning to Sir Conner as she gave him a taunting look.

"Man, easily defeated by a couple of children, huh? If all Forever Knights are like you, it's a wonder you can get your armor on in the morning, much less conquer a planet." Knight roasted while crossing her arms with a grin as Gwen, Kevin, Sabrina, and Ship all shared a laugh as Sir Conner merely groaned in embarrassment.

"...So, we can't convince you to go back to your home peacefully, huh?" Ben asked with a frown as the Dragon nodded.

"I've been waiting thousands of years for this, so, no, you all can't convince me to leave without getting some revenge first." Dragon said as Ben, Vanessa, Azmuth, and Shadow glanced at each other quietly and nodded as they bravely stood in front of the Dragon and held out their arms. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Stopping you," Ben answered bluntly as the Dragon laughed at this, and Azmuth raised an unamused eyebrow at him and scoffed as he rolled his eyes.

"Oh, please. Don't underestimate Ben and the others because of their age. I promise, any of them can easily defeat you without trying by transforming into any alien they want." Azmuth says matter-of-factly as the Omnitrix, Zennatrix, and Xennotrix/Animatrix Wielder smiled pridefully at being recognized by Azmuth of their strength as a now serious Ben glared up at the dragon-like alien.

"But do you want to know why we won't beat you up and kick your ass too?"

"It's because, unlike the other baddies we come across, you're actually a good guy," Vanessa says as Shadow nodded while glancing up at Dragon with a stoic look on his face.

"Look, Dragon, we understand where you're coming from, especially me," Shadow said somberly as the Dragon laughed at this bitterly.

"Oh, really? That's rich. Please, enlighten me and tell me how you know what it feels like to have your home taken away from you." Dragon asked as Shadow's gaze harden.

"Well, first off, my sister and I are from another universe, and when my sister and I were only 16/15-years-old, respectively, our home universe was completely destroyed by a vile, despicable, malicious villain," Shadow says with a teary glare as the Dragon, Azmuth, and especially Ben and Vanessa gasped in extreme shock by what he said.

"You have no idea how much hatred and frustration I had in me. It was because of my actions that my own universe was destroyed. I failed everyone. That's why my sister and I had dedicated ourselves to travel across the Multiverse to capture the monster that destroyed everything we love and kill him to avenge our family and friends. We are looking for revenge because we have nothing else to lose, but what about you? You have a wife and a child at home who misses you and wants you to come back to them. What's your excuse for not going back to your home immediately when you were able to finally escape? Petty revenge? Oh, I'm sure they will understand why you spent the next several years stuck on this planet while you kill off the rest of the Forever Knights because let me tell you, if they were able to hold you for thousands of years, they can capture you and trap you again. Do you really want to take that risk?" Shadow asked with a sharp glare as the Dragon stared down at him for a couple of seconds with an emotionless look on his face, carefully thinking of this before making his decision as he nodded firmly. Back with the others, we see Gwen still holding Connor to the wall with her magic, but then a soft rumble appeared out of nowhere and caused Gwen to lose her concentration as Connor fell down onto the floor and everyone looked to where the rumble was originating and couldn't help, but to gasp in shock as they saw the Dragon's huge ship slowly flying out of the warehouse.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Connor screamed as the ship flew out of the warehouse and into the night sky as Connor glared at the disappearing ship furiously, seemingly not noticing Ben, Vanessa, Azmuth, and Shadow making their way out of the warehouse as Gwen, Knight, Kevin, and Ship walked over to them.

"How did you guys do it?" Gwen asked as Ben and Vanessa raised an eyebrow at her confusedly.

"Huh?"

"You know, get the Dragon to go." She explained as Ben scratched his head and turned over to look at Shadow, who lowers his head and sighs heavily as he was about to speak up, but was cut off by a pissed-off Sir Conner as he ran over to confront them.

"OKAY, I'VE HAD IT!" Sir Conner screamed, causing everyone to turn to him in surprise and annoyance as he glared at the through twitching eyes and gritted teeth. "YOU MANGY KIDS HAVE INTERFERED WITH THE FOREVER KNIGHTS FOR FAR TOO LONG! BECAUSE OF YOU, WE HAVE LOST OUR DRAGON! AND FOR THAT, YOU ALL WILL PA-!" Sir Conner says before getting interrupted by a bored Shadow transforming into another alien with a flash of purple light.

Shadow had now transformed into a 12-feet-tall, male Huscanthrophy as he resembles a mix between a husky and a lycanthropy with a cream-colored face that has small pupilless light purple eyes, a dark purple flowing mane, small pointy dark purple ears with cream-colored insides, a little black nose, black lips with a row of sharp white teeth, dark purple furry sideburns and beard, four-fingered clawed dark purple furry arms, a large stoic muscular built, cream-colored skin with dark purple fur, a big fluffy dark purple tail, a pair of dark purple furry muscular three-clawed legs, and his outfit consisted of a light purple vest with a black centerline, a silver shoulder pad on his right shoulder, and black pants. His name is-

"BASHMOUTH!" The now named Bashmouth roared out as he proceeds to grab Sir Conner by his legs and lifted him up into the air as Shadow then whacked him into the ground a couple of times before pausing a bit as Bashmouth finished his attack by slamming Sir Conner into the floor so hard that he was buried under the earth as everyone, sans Knight, looked incredibly stunned and shock by what just happened. "Hmph, puny knight," Bashmouth grunted out as Sir Conner lets out one tiny, girlish whimper of pain as this caused everyone to snap out of their daze and proceeds to laugh so hard that tears ran down their eyes, and Kevin even fell onto the floor, laughing as Knight grinned at the Forever Knights.

"So, do you all still want to try to kill us or do we have to make an example of you like Sir Conner?" Knight asked cheekily as the Forever Knights flinched in absolute fear and shake their heads nervously as they went over to grab their heavily injured boss and made a hasty retreat as Ben walked over to smirk up at Shadow.

"I think I'm starting to like you, Shadow," Ben says while crossing his arms.

"Same," Vanessa says with a grin as Bashmouth looks down to give them a toothy smirk.

"Ditto," Bashmouth says as we then fast forward in time and cue back to the Forever Knights Castle as we see a still injured Sir Conner wearing hospital clothes and was placed in the Medical Wing of the building as he was currently informing everything that happen a few hours back to his Forever Knight King, Sir Patrick.

"...And then the beast flew off into the stars, headed for home." Sir Conner said as he threw a file containing photos of Team Alien Force and Shadow and Knight as Sir Patrick studied these photos carefully while Connor clenched his fist and sighed in disappointment. "I have failed."

"What do you mean by that, Connor?"

"I have failed to slay the beast, much less capture it before it escaped. In my entire life, I've never given a moment's thought to what I would do once this was over, but to know that my destiny is over before it even properly finished is what angers me the most. Now, will I spend the rest of my life honorless?"

"Honorless? Oh, please, Sir Conner. Do you really think this is over?" Patrick said with a raised eyebrow as Conner turned to glare at him while wincing at the rush movement.

"The dragon's gone, Patrick. We failed, and now there's no reason for us to exist. You, me, the Forever Knights, all pointless now!"

"Pointless?" The old king said as he chuckled at the thought. "Hardly. Now we know that somewhere in the stars, there's not one dragon, but an entire planet of them. How soon before more of these beasts come back for revenge? They could be making plans even as we speak. No, Connor. The world needs the Forever Knights now more than ever! We must always stand ready to fight the dragons and the despicable traitors who helped them. So SAY I!" Sir Patrick exclaimed as Connor beamed, exhilarated to hear that there was still a way to regain his honor as he raised his only functioning bruised arm into the air.

"SO SAY WE ALL!" Sir Conner yelled loudly as he then stared down at one picture in particular, and his eyes widen in realization as he turned back to his king. "Oh, that reminds me. The meddling brats had a beast with them as well. It stopped me before I could kill the dragon." Sir Conner said as Patrick's eyes widen at the new information. "I had the dragon in sight, and I could have finished it off, but the little brat known as 'Sabrina' told the mutt to destroy my gun, and it did. He also managed to take out 10 of our strongest warriors without trying." Sir Conner said as Sir Patrick carefully studied the picture of Ship before looking up to Connor as he grinned at him. "I think we have managed to find a new weapon for our arsenal, don't you think?" Sir Conner asked with a sinister grin as Sir Patrick nodded with a similar grin.

"I'll have the boys in the lab study this new specimen, and who knows? Maybe this mutt will be useful to our organization in the near future." Sir Patrick said as Connor smirked deviously, both not knowing that Squire was spying on them from outside as he looks scared and even doubtful of the plans that the Forever Knights were brewing.
