Response to questions or statements:
-TK0421: Yeah, that was my one of my favorite scenes in the entire trilogy, right besides in DOTM when NEST took down several Decepticons and severely damaged Shockwave in Chicago. Agreed, it's just a guilt pleasure of mine, seeing operators doing tactical things. Every superhero, Kaiju/monster film I just focus on the military fighting it or the troops mobilizing.
-Honestly, I never had any candy like that, as my Grandma wasn't exactly... the best. To put it lightly.
-OfficialDavidDough: You'll see in this chapter.
-NewGuest123: Yup, this solar system and galaxy, along with the next one, is ours!
-Yeah, Omni's in for a rough time.
-Shaw's definitely getting what he deservers. A labeled crazy man being known as the one who took down the Krakken.
-Glad you enjoyed the chapter. Hope you enjoy this one.
-Guest0508: Yeah, free pizza for life is definitely something I would risk my life for. Personally, my favorite kind of pizza is stuffed crust with peperoni and mushrooms as toppings.
-Yea, guess it deserves a pass since he's so young. Honestly, I probably would have came up with something worst, I'm not exactly good with one liners myself tbh.
-ArashiNokitsune: I suppose that makes sense.
-Ultima-onwer: Yea, it was best to just wipe every trace of him while you had the chance. Omni figured it was better to be safe than sorry.
-Chronogsign: Ok, I'm definitely going to be doing some similar to that in the future, that's too good to pass up. Thank you very much.
Chapter 15: Permanent Retirement
As soon as the green light rescinded, Ben found himself in his Necrofriggian form he dubbed as big chill, with Omni giving him a deadpanned stare as she was once again slapped in the face.
"I hate you," Omni muttered.
"I know," Ben replied as he entered his intangible form, which also made him as difficult to see if he was ghostfreak, and phased through the wall. Flying out and flown several feet in the sky as he observed his surroundings.
"There's got to be something fun to do around here." Ben mused to himself as he saw a golf cart parked as a devious thought formed in his mind.
"I know what you're thinking, Ben." Omni said.
"You disapprove?"
"Actually, I don't." She said much to Ben's surprise. "Knock yourself out."
Thus, prompted Ben to get on the cart and started driving it around while he was invisible. Enjoying the flabbergasted looks from onlookers as they saw the cart moving around with no one in the wheel. It wasn't long before Ben got bored again, in which he smelled something really nice and flown over to see what it was.
"Pie..." Before Ben could do anything. He was the old lady that lived in the house tying to kill a fly before it landed on the ceiling. She then jumped and latched onto the roof like a frog before eating it and dropping back down.
"Woah..." the kid mumbled.
"I don't recall humans being able to do that."
"Not that I'm aware of." Ben than noticed Marty driving back with a rug. The sprinklers than turned on, causing him to panic and frantically steer the vehicles to avoid getting splashed. Ben then decided to follow him till Marty stopped by a hatch carrying the rug, opening it and then dropping down with more speed and energy than someone his age should have,
"Alright, something's going on here."
"You got that right."
Ben than headed back to Aunt Vera's home. Telling Max and Gwen what happened. Since it was almost late, Max ordered them to get some rest and then in the morning they would go investigate the hatch that Ben found.
"Ugh, why do old people always drink prune juice?" Ben complained as he looked inside the fridge.
"Mornin' kids." Vera greeted as they walked over.
"Hi Aunt Vera," Ben and Gwen said in unison before Gwen started walking over with a tray with a cup of water and coffee.
"I made you some coffee." Gwen said before accidentally spilling them on the floor. Suddenly, Vera jumped up and split her legs between the bookcase and the cabinet with enough force to stay out of reach.
"Clean it up! Clean it up now!" She screeched as Gwen and Ben casted a weary glance at one another
"Sorry!" Gwen apologized as she cleaned up her mess. Soon as the water was gone, Vera got down as she looked into the bedroom that Max was staying in.
"Where's your Grandpa?" She asked.
"He went out for a walk. He said he would be back soon." Gwen answered nervously. "Is something wrong?"
"No," Vera hummed. "You kids stay out of trouble now. I'll be back soon." She said before exiting the house.
"Doesn't she seem...off, to you?" Ben inquired.
"Now, that you mention it, yeah." Gwen admitted reluctantly.
"Let's go check out that hatch I saw Marty at earlier. Maybe, we'll find some answers there."
"First, let's go find Grandpa. He should be back soon." Gwen suggested. To which Ben nodded in agreement as they exited the house and began walking the streets. Noticing how all the elderly people were staring at them and keeping their distance.
Suddenly and without warning, two old women that were playing golf suddenly hissed at them as they hit the golf balls right at them. Nearly hitting Gwen in the head if she didn't duck.
"Run!" Ben yelled as they began sprinting. The two girls now chasing them along with several others. Ben and Gwen took cover behind a nearby brick building, panting heavily before they heard a familiar voice.
"Hey!" Turning their heads, they saw Grandpa Max stepping out of the shadows. "What's going on here?"
Before Ben could answer, Omni shimmered into existence as they glared at 'Max.'
"That's not him." She said as 'Max' stretched out his arms and growled. With Ben and Gwen once again taking off running.
The two kids took cover behind a ford pickup truck, stopping to catch their breath and take in their surroundings. Only to see that they were surrounding as the Max imposter approached from one side while Vera and a few more of the shapeshifting aliens approached from the other.
"We're trapped!" Gwen whispered on the verge of panicking as her imagination began running wild as to what these alien kidnappers could do to her and Ben. "There's nowhere to go! We're going to die! We're going to die-"
Before he could continued her terror induced ramblings, she was slapped in the face by her cousin who then proceeded to grab onto her shirt with both hands as he held onto her tightly. Even feeling immense fear, Gwen could tell by the loon on Ben's face that this wasn't his doing and was probably Omni controlling his body. Which proved to be right as she projected herself right beside him as she gave her a glare.
"Listen, Gwen," The AI began. "Shut up and get yourself in the game. If we're going out, we're going out like men. Got it?" She ordered. With Gwen affirming as she meekly nodded as Omni gave Ben back control of his body.
"Good, now I'm going to create a distraction and maybe take down vera's group. You two need to be ready to run." She informed them.
How are you going to do that?" Ben asked before he began hearing something off in the distance.
"Wait... what the heck is that music?" Gwen mused out loud as even the aliens paused to listen to the music that was getting louder by the second.
Suddenly, a green Porsche Cayenne came in right from behind the Vera imposter, playing Los Dos Laredos at max volume from its radio, knocking down Vera and several of the shapeshifting aliens like they were bowling pins before driving around the truck Ben and Gwen were hiding behind and charging straight at the Max imposter. Who immediately began running in the opposite direction at the sight of the vehicle heading straight for him.
The car then made a u-turn and drove right up to the awestruck kids before opening its doors. With Omni projecting herself right in the driver's seat as she gave them an expectant look. With her projection shimmering as her hologram changed from a medieval knight, to default armor from Halo two
"Waiting for an invitation? Come on, let's go!" She snarked annoyed. With that Ben got into the passenger's seat while Gwen hopped into the back as the car took off down the road.
"Uh, what are you doing!?" Gwen asked nervously as she fastened her seatbelt as she noticed that the car was picking up speed. With Ben holding on tight for dear life as well.
"Getting us to the hatch." Was all she said as she accelerated to sixty-miles per hour as she traversed down the narrow corners and roads. Managing to dodge all the alien attacks and obstacles even more so than a skilled driver. Which made her look like she was driving recklessly like a crazy person.
"WOOOO YEAH!" She hollered as she ran over several aliens, leaving tread marks on their faces. "SUCK IT, BLUES! OR GREENS! XENOS! YEAH!" she couldn't help but yell as she stuck her hologram head out the window like a dog having the time of its life.
"WHAT!?" Ben couldn't help but ask as he too had his seatbelt on. With one hand on the grab handle tightly enough that his knuckles were turning white.
The Omnitrix didn't respond as she turned a corner at such speeds that it seemed a miracle that the Porsche didn't flip over. Too busy having fun to respond to him and notice the heighted fear of the two kids in the vehicle. The song still blaring out at max volume as she drove back onto the street, and speeded up to the hatch.
Along the way, several of the Limax attempted to throw a car at them, to which Omni dodged as she managed to run one of them over while the rest managed to get out of the way.
"HOW'S MY BUMPER TASTE, SLIME BALL!?" She hollered as she embraced her crazy side with driving the vehicle. Eventually making it to the hatch they saw the Marty doppelganger earlier as she swiveled the vehicle so fast she left tread marks on the ground as she parked the vehicle perfectly parallel besides the main gate with her finally turning off the radio as the Spanish music ceased.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Gwen yelled from the backseat. Her eyes wide as she placed her hand on her chest in an attempt to calm herself down and lessen her frantically beating heart.
"We're here. Aren't we?" Omni retorted as she opened the doors. With Ben and Gwen not wasting a second in jumping out as Gwen vomited on the concrete road with Ben pressed to the ground as he rapidly panted.
"R-Remind me never to let you drive a-again." The ten-year old boy said as he managed to compose himself. Walking over to his cousin as he sympathetically patted her back.
"I don't need your permission. But relax, you weren't in any danger. AI remember?." She said as she noticed the Limax coming straight for them. Not wasting time as she turned Ben into wildmutt. Now in the Vulpimancer form, he lifted the garbage dump that was parked right on top of the entrance and threw it at the shapeshifters, crushing several of them. He growled to Gwen, who looked confused as she looked back from Ben to the dump before she realized what he was getting at.
"Got it!" She gave him a thumbs up as she went to unlatch the lock. "That's scary, I'm starting to speak mutt." She muttered to herself as the Limax slithered out from underneath the Ben and reformed themselves as the elderly people they were impersonating as.
As soon as Gwen undid the lock and opened the doors, revealing a tunnel that goes straight down into pitch black, he bite on her backpack and threw her on his back before jumping into the hole. The shapeshifting imposters following right behind them.
Author's note: That's it for now. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Thanks again to all of you for taking the time to read and check out my stories.
In case if you're wondering, Los Dos Laeedos is the iconic song the Reds play when driving the Warthog in Red vs Blue. Sorry, could not help myself.
Take care, guys, and remember... stay frosty, gents.
