Response to questions or statements:

-Benny Morgan: Yeah, definitely!

-ultima-owner: Personally, I think we would all be better off if social media just not existed in general.

-TK0421: Yeah, that's a part I always found weird in the show and superhero stuff in general. Most of the time the police were useless and the military was nowhere to be found except for a few exceptions like Man of Steel, the first Avengers movie briefly. With the police often being delegated as redshirts and useless in others. Guess that's one of the reasons why I like Michael Bay's transformers trilogy (the fourth and fifth movies don't exists to me). Showed the military helping out and actually doing some damage and not being completely useless. There's something satisfying watching a less technologically advanced species take actually hold their own against a superior force.

-Yeah, Ben got lucky and made it out thanks to the MC. Trying to portray law enforcement and the military as outmatched at times, but not stupid and incapable.

-Essentially, she wants Earth to be able to stand on its own feet and not rely on the Plumbers for protection. No matter what they or anybody else in the universe says.

-She just wants to wipe it out. As she thinks it's the worst thing ever built by the human species.

-Guest0508: I'll definitely consider it. Thanks, glad you enjoyed the chapter! Hope you enjoy this one.

-NewGuest123: Yeah... working retail absolutely sucks, dude.

-Thanks! I agree it was weird they didn't show up, hence why I included them..

-Pretty much. Wants humans to be able to defend themselves and not have to rely on others for assistance. Omni does has faith in Ben and co, she just wants to make sure Mankind can defend themselves without him is need be. Like I said, the military and government will be playing a much larger role here than they did in the show. Plumbers may not be happy with it, but she couldn't care less, but she couldn't care less about what they think. If the Plumbers won't commit, than she'll make sure Mankind has a fighting chance with what's out there.

-She plans to destroy it. As she believes social media to be absolutely horrible and the worst thing ever created by humans.

-Guest: Yeah, don't know what's up with that lately.

-Chronosign: Fixed it. Thanks for the ideas! I'll be sure to consider them.

-Edison Estalla Cutipa: As of right now, no. No one else but the MC knows they were a former human reincarnated.

-ArashiNokitsune: Omni does know the risk she's taking. She still feels it's for the best considering what's out there. She's knows it's going to be difficult and there's going to be a lot of hurdles going forwards, but she considers it worth it if it means Mankind can defend itself without the Plumbers and the Tennyson's if need be.

-Yeah, kind of figured after the events of Ultimate Alien the Plumbers increased their presence on Earth with Max coming back as he couldn't just sit by and do nothing with all the danger. Hopefully this time, he can stay comfortably in retirement. And if things go right, Mankind might not need the Plumbers at all...

-Some1call4MR-E: Yup, when the stoic person starts getting antsy, you best listen. Yeah, waking up the Mammoth was rude, but they needed a distraction. Jimmy was the one that exposed Ben in the series. Yeah, those three always getting into trouble chasing the story. Jimmy is stubborn, I'll give him that. Fixed the error.

-techie: No spoilers. :)

Chapter 10: The Krakken

Ever since they had left the capital of America, the Tennyson trio focus was primarily on their road trip, which meant that they didn't bother the omnitrix all that much. Which was fine by her as it allowed her to do what she felt she needed to do to prepare for her future plans on uplifting Mankind to fight the myriad of threats in the cosmos.

Omni began to scour the internet, compiling profiles of people she may be able to sway to her cause, especially among the ranks of not just the United States government, but every administration of a multitude of countries worldwide. She began to spread her influence over every major superpower world wide from America all the way to Russia, contacting people who she believed would be an asset to her cause. From politicians pledging their support, scientists, soldiers, anyone who shared the same views in protecting Mankind from extraterrestrial incursions. She even managed to slowly gain some influence in the highest echelons of government like with the current Secretary of Defense, John Keller. Her extensive research into the man revealing that he was the person within the current administration taking the threat of aliens seriously, unlike the other members who were more focused on advancing their own careers, lobbying companies, and appeasing their bosses. He was the one that ordered for the DC metro police to mobilize in response to the dino and alien activity and gave out the capture order for Ben.

She managed to contact him after he had a meeting with the president, her analysis indicating that he was feeling frustrated that the current commander-in-chief wasn't taking the threat of increased alien activity as seriously as he would have liked it. While he was understandably skeptical of her, she had made an effort in establishing trust in informing him the species of alien that the police failed to apprehend at the national history museum. Sending files on the history of the aliens and their homeworld. Also told him to tell his people to look into old files concerning aliens and the ones captured at Area 51, AKA Groom Lake. It would appear that the previous administration failed to inform the current one about the the galactic community as she saw a confused and bewildered look on the man's face through the security camera she hacked. She wasn't surprised, government agencies tend to have a history of miscommunication and not talking with one another, more often than not the lack of communication was a bigger killer than a disaster. If all goes according to plan, she would have a valuable ally inside the White House.

On top of that, she began to compile funds from a variety of different sources from all over the Earth. Mainly stealing from people who really didn't deserve it like corrupt politicians (i.e the majority of politicians), organized crime syndicates, drug cartels, etc. All of whom found their savings having been vanished overnight and were scrambling to find the culprit before the armed SWAT team burst through their door, as she sent the respective authorities even evidence on their misdeeds to have them locked away for life. Or if they wielded in too influence in where they resided, she either pointed them at a rival or if they were too dangerous or disgusting, she hired a PMC to carry out a hit on them. By now, she was a millionaire in digital currency stashed in the most secure and darkest corners of the internet.

But right now, Omni was taking a break from all her future planning. Instead entering a gaming session with the boys, AKA her newfound conspiracy theorist friends as they invited her into their gaming clan after she proved that she wasn't an undercover fed. They also seemed to love her after she helped them out of a pinch, like helping a few retain full custody of their kids as a couple of them were going through a rather messy divorce, and making sure that they got a better deal than their now ex-wifes. So, after get passed the usually tomfoolery when gamers meet up with a gamer girl, they began playing a few matches of big team battle in Blood Gulch on Halo 2.

"You up for another game, Arrow?" One of the gamers asked her after the third round. Referring by her tag of ArrowStorm79.

"Nah, I'm good. Got something to do. Next time?" She replied.

"Sure, see you."

After saying goodbye to her friends and signing off. She got up her virtual bed and prepared to project herself in the real world. Max wanted her in the flesh, so to speak, for the fishing trip. Giving that she wasn't really speaking up lately, Max figured this would be a good time to do some bonding while they were out fishing. In addition, given the fact that she hadn't seen much of Earth, at least he thought so, he wanted to show her the wonders of seeing the lake that ran not too far from the Atlantic Ocean. Seeing that he could become suspicious of what she was doing if she kept herself isolated for too long, she reluctantly agreed.

"Alright... time to deal with poachers and a fish the size of a yacht."

"-By the way, Ben. Have you heard anything from Omni yet?" Grandpa asked his grandson. As all three of them were preparing to head out to the ocean to fish.

"I haven't heard anything from her yet." Ben replied.

"Right here." A familiar monotone voice said from behind all three, causing the Tennyson's to turn around to greet their AI companion. What they saw however they them surprised though.

(Insert For Honor Warmonger armor)

As she projected herself, she looked different from her typical appearance. Instead of her usual robotic form with two bright glowing eyes. Instead she was dressed in what looked to be a medieval knight. Her helmet looked akin to a knight's with two eyes with many smaller green dots within. A cape flew from her back with what looked to be a ponytail coming out the back of her helmet. A longsword was attached to her side with a leather skirt on her hip. Additionally, she had shin guards on as well as a breastplate. She was mainly colored black with with only her eyes glowing green.

"Uh, why do you look like that?" Ben questioned with a raised brow.

"It's a new look I'm trying out." She said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Man, that looks sick!" Ben complimented with excitement.

"It does seem to be more...stylish." Max chimed in.

"Thanks."

"Personally, it looks a bit edgy, if I'm being honest." Gwen admitted. Only to get a slap from her cousin. However, it was obvious by now who was the actual culprit.

"OWW!" Gwen whined as she rubbed her cheek. "Oh come on! I was just stating my opinion! Did I really deserve that!"

"Yes!" Omni defended. "Look at me! My drip is immaculate." She bragged as she poised. Drawing her sword and waving it around while she made whooshing and swishing noises.

"Yeah, come on, Gwen. Knights are awesome." Ben agreed.

"I mean, yeah." She didn't deny. "But don't you think that helmet's design a bit too much?"

The stare from the projection was all the AI needed to do to get her answer across.

"Right..."

"Alright, let's go." Max declared as he grabbed his fishing rod as Omni disappeared. With the trio exiting the RV and making their way to the docks. Along the way, Ben kept tried to convince the other two that last night he saw some kind of monster in the water. Only for Gwen and Max to brush him off, with the former thinking that he was pulling another one of his pranks while Max believed it may have been a trick of the eye or something. As soon as they made it to the boat that Max had booked, Gwen became disgusted at the worms they were going to use as bait and decided to back out.

"Alright, but you don't know what you're missing." Max said as Gwen walked away.

"I'm pretty sure I do."

Seeing that her mind wasn't changing, Max turned to the captain of the nearest boat. A man with grey hair, a red baseball cap, and a beige t-shirt.

"Captain Shaw?" Max asked.

"Who wants to know." The Captain turned his head.

"I'm Max Tennyson, and this is my grandson, Ben." He gestured to the ten-year old kid standing next to him who greeted the fishing man with a wave. "We chartered your boat today for a fishing trip.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Shaw grumbled as he moved to start the boat's engine. "Get on. I ain't got all day."

Ben got on the boat excitedly as he was eager to see if he could find any evidence of the monster he saw last night before Max followed him. The look on his face saying just how suspicious he was of the fisherman.
