Okay, time for Episode 4. This time to meet another member of the Incursean villains and one of Attea's main allies in this arc. Hope you enjoy! I only own this OC and others like him, I do not own Ben 10 as that belongs to Man of Action. Other OCs belong to their respective owners. Thanks in advance to Wildgun-Edge, Darinas, Splashpointparabox and Chann1.

Alpha Male

(Incursean Space. June 19th, 20:03)

Inside of Attea's starship, the Princess was standing in front of a figure shrouded in the darkness. "Okay, Darui, you got the things I needed?" The figure's eyes were large and white, as it simply nodded and passed over something to her. "Thanks, good on you." She smirked as she looked at a little bubble-shaped sphere that held an annoyed Azmuth. "What's the sour look for, old timer?"

Azmuth merely scoffed before addressing the cybernetically-enhanced princess, "You're just as immature as your father, Attea...and as foolhardy as the rest of your people. Spreading around needless conflict to satiate your own bloodlust...it's disgusting."

That only got a laugh from the Princess, who was quick to retort, "Says the tadpole that created the ultimate weapons known to the universe that isn't the Annhilarg." She sauntered over and tapped on the glass, "Look brainiac, I kept you alive because Psychobos said he wanted you to watch as the universe you tried to protect burn...and I like to give him the idea that he's got something worth having."

"HEY PRINCESS!" a voice roared as a humanoid machine with what looked like an exposed brain on his head was backing up nervously, his violet cloak almost making him trip as his piercing green irises shrank in fear.

"N-Now now, Bounty Hunter...let's talk abou-GAK!" He was suddenly grabbed by a paw-like hand, a black jagged claw on the back of it.

"OUTTA DA WAY, NERD!" He roared out as he tossed him aside, a growl escaping his lips. The figure kept a far enough distance, his piercing red eyes narrowing darkly at Attea. "WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA LEAVING ME WITH ONLY GRUNT WORK, HUH!? I AM ONE OF THE GREATEST HUNTERS IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE, THE PREY I CATCH SHOWS MY SKILL! YOU PROMISED ME BLOOD, GENERAL ATTEA!" The creature roared out, his volume making the straps on Attea's helmet move faintly, as she just waved her hand in front of her face.

"Hey, ya overgrown throw rug, ya mind gettin' a breath mint? Your breath is a fatal weapon in it's own right," Attea groaned, rubbing her nose in disgust. "Ya want a job? Fine, whatever. Go after Tennyson, or something. Make him suffer a bit, I'm sure that'll give you SOMETHING to do. Now if you need me, I'll be doing some ACTUAL strategy while you play."

The figure just growled as he walked out of the room, smashing a nearby wall in annoyance. Psychobos came in from his lab on the ship, from the door behind the throne that Attea sat in.

"Well, he's charming...and I use that term loosely. You see why he was my second choice from that dunderhead, Khyber?" Psychobos said to Attea, who just chuckled.

"Yeah, and he's MY first choice for my attack dog. I give him the blood he wants so badly, and he'll do anything for the violence he's wanting. Even compared to most Apploplexians, he's got a massive temper and a nastier side than even the hardest of Incursean war generals...makes him perfect for my army," Attea explained with a smirk as she got a set up on. On it was something akin to a chess set with various ships on it and then moved one piece ahead; one that looked like a tiger's skull. "Lets see how you play, Tennyson…" she smirked darkly.

"Shall we tell your father about this, General?" Psychobos asked curiously as Attea just laughed sinisterly.

"Please, he's too busy with his own conquering...plus, I got my own missions to get too, especially with that little side project we're working on." Attea said, her grin widening slightly as she looked this over. "...And can someone get Raff off the floor before he ends up staining the carpet! That's genuine Arachnichimp Silk!" Several guards picked up the out cold majordomo, who was currently only capable of groaning.

(Bellwood. Plumber HQ, June 20th, 10:30)

At the base, the Plumber Scientists were looking over the Omnitrix with Ben nearby, yawning as Skurd was uploading the Data they wanted to look at. "Hmm...looks like most of these forms are still locked...thank goodness…" Driba said with a sigh after they viewed the data, seeing the same silhouettes as Myaxx on her base's computer.

"Yeah...good thing Eunice allowed us access to the Primus database…" Cooper said in agreement, frowning a bit. "But still...S-Classers...that's a bold move…"

"Can someone explain to me what that even means?" Ben asked, slightly annoyed as Cooper cleared his throat.

"Uh...anyone knows how to answer that?" he asked sheepishly as Tetrax walked up and showed the files, rubbing his chin and nodding.

"Okay...there are 5 Classes of life: There is D Class, C Class, B Class, A Class and finally S class. D class are simple life forms; beings who are just able to go be able to survive. That is most animals on all planets, and sentient beings like Walkatrout's people and humans to give a couple of examples. They are able to survive thanks to their own skills but nothing really stands out." Tetrax began, showing these images.

"The C classers are stronger beings, and where we start to see more powerful abilities and when beings start to show increased intellect, such as Galvans, or have increased strength such as Atrosians. They are able to live in slightly harsher environments or deal with larger threats." Driba continued as Blukic nodded, Skurd looking up at this as he wrote this down.

"B Classers are actually quite powerful as well. They have more powerful abilities and sometimes even have several; My people are a good example of B class life forms, as I'm able to shift my body into other forms. In fact, a lot of your aliens fall under B class. Each powerful in their own right, but they're not gonna do a lot of long-term damage." Tetrax explained further.

"I take it that A and S are really powerful then?" Ben asked, as Tetrax nodded as he showed the A classers next, showing a city being destroyed by Vilgax.

"Vilgax's people are considered A Class. In this area, they are dangerous to most life forms...they are stronger, faster and tend to be more durable compared to B classers. Others in this area include Incurseans, Tetramands, and almost everyone in the Anur system. Heck, all your Andromeda forms are also considered this," Blukic explained, as Skurd shuddered ever so slightly.

"And that leaves the S-Class...they're powerful enough to destroy planets, if not whole galaxies if they're high enough. The highest possible on this list are the Celestialsapiens. In fact, your original Omnitrix line up only had one S-Classer; Way Big." Skurd explained, as Ben looked shocked.

"Wow...Way Big is that powerful…? What other S-Classers do I have?" Ben asked as Tetrax looked through the files and nodded.

"Of the unlocked aliens...you have your newly unlocked Wyvurn, as well as Way Big, Alien X, Chromastone, Gravattack, and Clockwork." Tetrax explained to Ben. "You must be careful though...S Class aliens are no joke...if someone finds out how many you've got now, many more people besides Vilgax may come for it."

Ben just shrugged, "I gotcha, Tetrax...but come on, everyone was after it before I even got those aliens. But I'll let you know if anyone causes any trouble, okay?" Tetrax gave a small nod, the two sharing a smile as he headed out of the lab, though he looked at the Omnitrix curiously before sighing, heading to the main lab to talk strategy with his Grandpa and the others.

(In Undertown's mainstreet. 11:03)

At the Black Hole bar, the bartender was currently mixing a drink for Argit, who smirked as he took the drink and put some taydens on the table. He sipped it with a causal smirk as he hummed to himself.

However, the door suddenly slammed open. Many looked up and saw a black cloak-wearing figure walking into the bar. "Who are you?" Asked a creature made out of blue energy, a scowl forming on his face.

"None ya business, lightbulb face." the giant said, as he walked over to the bartender. "Give me whatever counts as a drink on this backwater mud pile and make it snappy." The bartender was about to say something, when he noticed the claw coming out of his wrist and the white fur. He swallowed hard and quickly mixed him something in a large glass. The creature chugged it down in the span of a second and then smashed the glass against the counter.

"Whoa, easy there, hairball." Argit said in annoyance, ducking from the glass as the man suddenly shoved him and covered him with his cloak, as many gasped. Argit rubbed his head as he yanked it off...then stared in shock at what he saw standing there.

Before them with a wild black mane of dreadlocked hair was a 7 foot tall humanoid white tiger with black stripes and various scars on his body, a black vest-styled jacket with a tiger-styled skull mark on the back, a pair of black slacks and spiked sandals, as a chain was wrapped over his shoulder. His face had stripes that almost looked like a goatee, and dark red piercing eyes with slitted pupils. "LISTEN HERE, YOU LOWER BODY SCUM! I AM APEX, THE ULTIMATE HEADHUNTER IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE! APEX IS HERE TO FIND BEN TENNYSON! TELL ME WHERE HE IS AND I WON'T SLAUGHTER EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!" He roared out, nearly cracking the windows with his volume.

"...Uh...well, uh...we don't...know where he is exactly...all the time?" said one of the patrons as Apex came over, a snarl escaping his lips as he chucked the table away and picked him up by the front of his shirt, the alien screaming in fear as Apex hoisted him into the air.

"Then tell me...where he is...or do I need to rip your arm off and saute it to get answers from you?" Apex growled out, his tone dark and not at all showing he was speaking metaphorically with his turn of phrase. Many paled at the thought of him doing just that.

"Uh...we don't think he's around UNDERTOWN per say...but maybe he'd show up if there's a crime taking place?" The glowing guy said sheepishly as Apex dropped the other guy calmly, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

"Oh...so I just need to cause trouble, eh? Thanks for that," Apex said with a small smirk as he kicked the door down as he left. "You tell anyone I was here, I'll kill the lot of ya." Everyone paled at how casually he said that, scared.

"That guy is insane…" Argit said in a squeaky voice. He thought it over, "Okay...Benny ain't gonna last long against him...even if he's beaten Khyber, this guy is a whole different level of nutty…"

…

A sudden look of dawning realization hit him like a truck as Argit thought about it. "Wait...did Ben ever actually BEAT that Khyber guy in a fight?" He began to think it over...and realized that Ben never won a one-on-one fight with him. '...first big fight was in Undertown...and he lost that one... and then on his airship, according to what I heard in the grapevine, and then they fought at that festival...wait, Benny was fighting that Baskurr Kevin adopted...it was always that Rook guy who fought him.' His eyes shrank, "Uh oh…"

In another part of Undertown, Julie was looking over some stuff that the local marketers were selling when she heard a little girl scream. She looked up and saw a little alien girl from the Kraaho tribe near by, looking up in a terrified expression at Apex, who looked annoyed. "Watch where you're going, ya little brat." He then get his claw at the ready, as Julie quickly moved.

"Hey, back off creep!" Julie said as her armor came on from Ship, making Apex look at her curiously...before a smirk formed on his face and got his chain out, which shimmered in the light.

"Finally, some excitement." Apex said with a smirk before giving a roar and charging forward and tackled into Julie in her armor.

(Plumbers HQ)

Ben and Max were looking over a table of sorts, as the teen hero looked over the strategy. "Okay...this is hard...I better get my best strategist out…" He then slammed down on the Omnitrix, turning into Brainstorm. The crustacean then began to look over the battlefield, his large brain analyzing the scenarios they could run into.

"Well?" Max asked as Brainstorm gave an affirmative nod and then used his electrokinetic telekinesis to move several spots around the map. Max watched curiously at the complex formation.

"If we adhere to this form of battle strategy, we possess a much more substantial chance to maintain an appropriate distance from Incursean space and strategic points to catch them unawares," Brainstorm said with a small smirk. "Those hapless, amphibious war mongers shall have little aide in this conflict, beyond any and all doubt."

Rook then ran into the room at this time, panting slightly. He then got his Badge out and spoke, "Magister Tennyson, Ben...We need to look into something. Someone has made an anonymous call just now." He then played it back as a message came out.

"This is...someone that you don't need to worry about, but I saw a dangerous criminal sort. I wish to contact you anonymously and saw him at the Black Hole Bar." The voice said...and Ben recognized the voice instantly due to Brainstorm's intellect.

"That is Argit...the format of his vocabulary shows a lack of any formal education, but compensated via self-teaching through the use of various things he can scrounge up, which was how I was able to pinpoint his identity. In addition, his pattern of speech revealed he was anxious, even in his poorly disguised tone," Brainstorm said, a frown forming on his face.

"Why would Argit use the Anonymous phone line? Unless he was threatened…" Rook said, as he rubbed his chin. "...how many enemies does Argit have?"

"Would you like the short or the long list?" Skurd asked flatly. "Even I knew about that spineless rat when I was working with Psychobos. Let's just say his reputation is NOT at all good."

"It is most likely a matter of extraordinary importance," Brainstorm said as he turned back into Ben. "I'll text Julie, lets go." Ben and Rook both went out, Ben sending a text to Julie as they did. The two went to the Proto-Truk and climbed in, the truck revving up and speeding away, heading into Undertown.

The area they unloaded at, however, looked like a To'kustar had ransacked it. "Whoa…" Ben said in shock as the truck stopped, both getting out and getting ready for anything. "Looks like we've got a tough customer...luckily I got just the guy." He then slammed down on the Omnitrix, roaring out as he turned into Rath.

Rook looked around only to hear a scream as the two looked up and saw Julie slamming into the ground, a chain wrapped around her in her flying form. "Ugh…" Julie groaned, rubbing her head as she was suddenly dragged back. "Aaaah!"

"Julie!" Rook said as Rath quickly went forward and stomped on the chain, gripping it.

"HEY! No one touches Rath's girlfriend!" the tiger-like warrior growled in anger as he tugged hard, but then saw Apex coming out. Skurd suddenly squeaked in fear, confusing Rath. "...What's with you, dude?" Rook then fired at Apex, making him roar out in annoyance, making him let go of the chains.

"That should distract him." Said Rook as Julie sat up, groaning a bit as Apex shook himself, annoyed to say the least with the blaster fire.

"...Who is this guy?" Julie asked as Rook undid the chains on her legs. "He's like Rath with a bad haircut." Apex gave an insulted look at that remark, glaring at that comment in annoyance.

"You see, my boy...this is the other potential threat you could have had in the Faction; Apex, the Alpha Beast. An Appoplexian headhunter who hunts down people and feasts on them. He gives his benefactors whatever trophy they wish from him." Skurd said in fear...as everyone just paused for a moment as they stared at Apex with a baffled expression; Ship's eye the size of a dot, Rook's jaw slack, Julie's face tinted green with disgust and Rath's face frozen in shock.

"...Wait…'Feasts'? As in...eats them?" Asked Julie in shock as Apex just laughed at this, as if amused by their horror. Other Aliens all went to hide, only peeking from windows as the tiger man just laughed darkly.

"That's right, you little canned meal! I feast on the flesh of those I hunt! As any hunter would, I pay proper respect for my kill and ingest it! That is the truest way of being a hunter!" Apex roared out, laughing as Rath growled in anger.

"HEY! LEMME TELL YA SOMETHING, APEX THE ALPHA BEAST OF APPOLPEXIA- WHICH I AM PRETTY SURE IS A TITLE YOU JUST MADE UP TO SOUND COOLER THAN YOU REALLY ARE!" Apex's posture tensed as a rumbling snarl - like thunder - erupted from his being. "RATH MAY HAVE SOME SERIOUS ANGER MANAGEMENT ISSUES! BUT HE DOESN'T GO AROUND EATING PEOPLE!" Rath roared out, practically frothing at the mouth with disgust, fury and bewilderment; fur bristling. "THAT'S JUST GROSS!"

"...Ben…" Skurd slowly spoke up from within the Omnitrix, "...can you… actually… NOT? Can you, seriously… please NOT antagonise the cannibalistic bounty hunter?"

"RATH HAS NO IDEA WHAT ANTAGONISE MEANS! NOR DOES RATH CARE!"

"We're dead," Skurd concluded in the flattest and most completely deadpan of tones.

Apex had had ENOUGH at this point. "LEMME TELL YA SOMETHING, BENJAMIN TENNYSON!" he raged, pointing straight at Ben, "APEX MAY EAT HIS QUARRY, BUT HE DOESN'T GO AROUND, CRITICISING PEOPLE'S LIFE DECISIONS LIKE HE'S BETTER THAN THEM!" The two tigers then roared as they charged at each other, Skurd screaming in fear as the two began to claw and bite at each other, tackling into each other and tossing the other into walls and other obstacles.

"SIRIUS BUTT KICKING!" Rath roared out as he tosses Apex into a nearby wall, before charging. "ALTAIR ELBOW BLOW!" He then shoves it into Apex's stomach, making him roar out in pain.

"BACK OFF!" Apex growled as he grabbed Rath by the face and slammed him into the ground with a snarl. Rath then growled in retaliation and then bit his hand, making Apex let go with a yowl of pain. "OW! YOU BIT ME!"

"YOU SHOVED RATH'S HEAD INTO THE DIRT!" Rath roared out in annoyance. Both Julie and Rook were just dumbfounded, unsure of how they should get involved with this literal...well, cat fight, as it were.

Rook then saw that his chain was still out and about, having not been picked up, and it was still over his shoulder. Rook then quickly ran towards it and grabbed it. "Julie, give me a hand." He took a breath and sighed as his body began to shimmer, an orange aura forming over his hands as Julie went into her default armor form and grabbed it as well. The two then tugged hard, making Apex yell out as they tugged against him.

"HEY! LET GO OF ME!" Apex roared out in annoyance as Rath got up, wiping his lower jaw as he growled. He then shined as he turned back into Ben, panting slightly.

"Time to get serious...Skurd, get a playlist up. I want my best hand to hand fighters." Ben said as he backed up, while Apex grabbed at his chain and tugged back, making both Julie and Rook yell out as they were pulled forward.

"Okay…" Skurd said as he looked through and got some aliens out. "Okay, let's do this!" Ben then charged forward, turning into Rath again and tossing Apex aside and away from them before he suddenly shifted into Kickin Hawk, who began to send a rapid fire flurry of kicks at him.

"OWWOWOWOWOWOWOW!" The white tiger roared out in annoyance as he got mega kicked before growling, catching the foot and tossing him away. However, Ben flashed again and turned into Crashhopper, who adjusted himself in mid-air and jumped from a nearby wall, hitting him right in the stomach with a powerful headbutt.

Apex groaned a bit, rubbing his head a bit as he glares upward. He then slashes forward, but then sees Exershield comes out and blocks the blows. He grunts as he blocks the blows with the shields. Exershield ducked around as he moved around quickly. "Can't touch me!" Said Exershield with a smirk.

Apex roared out as Ben shined again, turning into Valkyrie who looked at Rook as he did a few hand motion for him to follow. Valkyrie nodded with a smirk as he sent a few blows at him, the feminine-looking alien ducking around apex's blows before landing a few solid hits into his legs, knocking him down.

"Try this out for size!" Valkyrie said as he shined again, turning into Four Arms who grabbed him with all four arms and tossed him over the shoulder, slamming him down before jumping up. Apex groaned...but then his eyes shrank at the sight of Ben coming down in the form of Slamstrike, his palm shining before slamming down a few at him.

"ORAORARORAROAROAORAORAORAORAORA!" Slamstrike shouted as he fired, sending the energy palms down, hitting Apex with the barrage before landing near by, turning back into Ben.

"Man, that was a bit of overkill." said Julie, going to Trapper armor to get him in a net, as Ben just shrugged.

"Still trying to find a good alien for that name." Ben admitted, which made Skurd look at him with a flat stare as if knowing now wasn't the time. Then there was a groaning as Apex got up, rubbing his head. "Okay, he's pretty durable…"

Apex growled at them...but then laughed as he smirked darkly, "Gotta say...you're a pretty tough quarry, kid. But I'm done here now." He said as he pressed a button on his belt. Suddenly, a roaring sound was heard as a spaceship flew through the air, coming in; it looked like the top half of a sabretooth's head, but a strange insignia was on the front that made Rook's eyes widen. The "Fangs" folded upward and pointed at them as Apex swung his chain up and jumped up into the ship, hoisting it up. "See ya next time, Benjamin Tennyson and friends...I'll make sure to savor our next meeting." He darkly chuckled as he drove his ship away.

"We need to go after him, fast." Ben said as Rook looked slightly nervous. "What's wrong?"

"That ship...I recognized an insignia on it. That is an Incursean marked ship…" Rook said nervously, making Julie and Ben go wide eyed. "Apex...essentially made the first attack on Earth for the Incurseans. And even if we could go after him, he is likely to have something...but do not worry...I have something that could help," Rook said with a small smirk, making them curious.

In Apex's ship, Apex was typing away as he drove his ship into the sky. "Hey Princess, I gotta get to a medic bay when I get back...that brat is tougher than most prey I've hunted." He rubbed his head, feeling the onset of a concussion.

"Fine, whatever. What'd you get from your analysis on that punk, Tennyson? And did you get what I needed you to get?" Attea asked as Apex gave a small chuckle, picking up something; a small box-like device.

"Yeah, swiped it on my way in; a way to get around da Plumber forces. We'll be ready to get that queen of your's so we can get to the next step on your plan. And as for analysis...had to say, I can see why Khyber had a hard time with him. But don't worry, I got it all under control...though I hope ya don't mind if I take care of his little friends while you deal with him." Apex said with a dark smirk.

"...You continue to get at least decent results, you can have a buffet for all I care. Just keep doing your job. Meet up with the Fukorapters and Merlinsapiens. We've got a war to start, and I got all my chess pieces in check. Right boys?" Attea asked as two other voices chuckled.

"Ja indeed, Highest commander. My people and I are great for stealth-based missions." Hissed a reptilian but older voice, chuckling softly.

"And my two brothers and I shall be the aide to Apex from here on. Think of us as your personal attack birds, Apex. But do not eat us." Said a calm voice, as Apex just rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah…" Apex said, driving his ship past the atmosphere. Unbeknownst to him, however, a black dot was on his chain...a tracking device put on it by Rook when he held the Chain earlier. "Though I got three others who may be interested in joinin' our survey. You met the oldest son...but I think all three could be of interest."

"Oh?" Attea said, curious as Apex just smirked darkly, chuckling as his ship left Earth and went towards the horizon ahead.

(Plumber Headquarters, 14:30)

Julie was having Ship get checked up from Apex's attack earlier, sighing as she crossed her arms. "Man, so that Apex guy works for Attea?" She asked, looking at the others with a frown.

"Looks like it...but where would she get that guy's information…?" Tetrax asked with a scowl, rubbing his chin.

"I take it you know of him?" asked Rook curiously as Tetrax gave a small sigh, rubbing his head.

Tetrax looked at a window and leaned against it, looking at the various prison cells below. "I've been a Bounty hunter for years...not exactly a spot where I can say I've been the pinnacle of heroic virtues, myself. I tried to keep the universe safe from the worse...but if you were to look at any bounty hunter charts, Apex is on the Top 5 most dangerous bounty hunters of all time. Right under him and Khyber, though are the siblings...you've met two of them; Sixsix and Seveseven. Their older sister, Eighteight, is the third most feared bounty hunter of all time. Apex is right under Khyber."

"Eighteight, huh? Wonder if their parents are…" said Ben, giving a slight joke as the others just gave him a scowl, with Skurd being the sole exception. "Not one of your better attempts, my boy,"the slimebiote sighed.

"Sorry, not funny. Look...Attea is hiring Bounty Hunters, maybe we need to make sure our own allies are prepared for anything." They all nodded at this, agreeing as they began to get Tetrax's notice with one name.

"...I did work with someone awhile back. I'll make a call to him...see if he'd be willing to work with us in the future if we need his help." Tetrax said, as he headed out. "You kids rest up, I'll make it right now." The three of them nodded as Tetrax walked out of the door and got a small pad on his arm out, taking a sigh as he put it on. "Hey, Dudesman, you there?"

"What is it, rockhead? I am in da middle of a job." said an impatient tone, as the sound of gunfire was heard. "One sec…" there was the sound of a gun firing and then suddenly an explosion coming out.

"I'm calling to make a favor, think you'll listen?" Tetrax asked, as the voice just gave an odd-sounding laugh...something almost like a quack.

"Tetrax Shard, the revered protector of the Omnitrix, is askin' for my help? Man, must be desperate times...what's up?" asked the voice, as Tetrax's face grew stern.

"It's the Incurseans...I know you've got a history with them, so I'm hoping you'd be willing to work with the Plumbers and I in the near future. I'll pay any price you want," said Tetrax, as there was a long pause.

"...whatever amount of crystals you're made of, give me an equal amount of Taydenite. And a new energy flux for Pixy. She likes the good stuff, so be nice about that. I'll take care of your frog infestation, don't worry." was Dudesman's reply, his tone cold. "And Shard...if you need any jobs off world...tell them to call me for any of them. I'm de only one who can get past the Incursean ships without those frogs catchin' wiff of me. I got a score to settle with dem."

"...Understood. Anything else?" asked Tetrax as Dudesman just laughed a bit...though it was noticeably colder in tone.

"Just this; tell any redspot to stay out of my way. I do things MY way, no other way. So if anyone talks protocol with me, let them know to stuff that overstuffed drink coaster up their tail feathers." The call ended right there, as Tetrax sighed heavily, rubbing his temple.

"I wasn't aware a silicon based life form can get a migraine," said Rhomboid, as he chuckled. "Hey, I got a 3 syllable word in one go." Tetrax just shook his head at this.

"Trust me, since I've known Ben, I've been finding several reasons for them…" Tetrax said calmly to the hillbilly-like alien, his face stern. "But get ready...the war is only starting." He then walked away, his face grim as the Vreedle Brother gulped in trepidation. This was going to be a long time to get used to this.

End of Episode 4

Okay, this is time to get the set up for future battles against the Incursean forces. And yeah, I originally was gonna have him appear earlier...but given what I had in mind with him, thinking that I could actually use Dudesman a bit earlier. Next time is the first real battle of the war. As you know, I don't own some of the aliens I use; Valkyrie belongs to Zigwolf (and Slamstrike is inspired by his own take) and Exershield belongs to Holycrap1992. I like to thank Splashpointparabox, Darinas, Brave-King-Shishio and everyone else with their aide in this chapter and story. Please Read, Review and Suggest away!
