2006 January 6th
I jump from tree to tree and then do a roll on the grass as I land on the ground, and just then 10 guys jump at me with all sorts of knives and other weapons, and then I throw punches and kicks. I even throw a rock off the ground and do a little bit of break dancing, sweeping more than one of them off the ground...
Then I grab one of their knives, and then...stab...stab...stab... With fast hands, I stab one guy's hands under his arm and even his neck. Before he could fall, I twist my body and stab through the other guy's arm, leaving a deep cut, and before any blood could flow out, I grab his hand and twist it at the other guys who were rushing at me. The guy's blood spurts out like a water hose, hitting the other men in their eyes, making them unable to see normally for a few seconds...
And well, that's all I needed. After a while, I was standing there in a pool of blood; countless people were around me, dead, and I let a breath out... ~
And just then, when I had dropped my guard, the Punisher! Comes running at me and throws a kick right at my face, and I block with my hands by crossing my forearms, and without a second of rest, Frank keeps throwing wild but skillful punches and kicks. I was barely moving out of his way...
I start to slowly move back, and just then I spin back, and it looks like I am going to do a spin-back kick, but just then Frank stops moving and pushes his hand out to catch my foot, but well, I never do a spin-back kick. No, I just turned around and ran away...
With full speed, I was not going to fight the Punisher in hand-to-hand combat. What do you think I am, stupid? Nah, I keep running through the woods, and with a jump, I grab onto a tree, and just behind me, Frank falls into a trap I had made before. But just then Frank pulls out his knife and barely holds himself up by stabbing his knife inside the rock...
And with a smile, I jumped down, kicking Frank's head hard, making Frank fall down with me, and well... BOOM... and when I blinked again, Frank's head and body had more than one spike going into them. Frank was dead, while I myselfwas not in any better shape either. I had a spike enter my back, and I was barely alive...
Ting!
But I don't feel death. No, I just pull the VR headset off my head and stretch my body, which was sweating a lot, and then I let out a yawn while Ava speaks, "Great job, Sir. Your hand-to-hand combat has gotten better again. You are able to now incapacitate a team of 50 men and also the Punisher, who was out to hunt you, but you still end up winning at the end, Sir. You have once again proven that there is nothing you can't do..."
And I smile a little hearing Ava's compliments... 'There is nothing I can't do, huh... well, that's just a lie. It's been now 6 months; it's almost now the end of this year, and well, things have been going fine. I guess I have slowly stopped my training with Frank now. I barely go to his warehouse because, well, I am at a level where I don't need to get any stronger, plus with the Battle VR headset I made, it's only a matter of time before I can truly beat Frank in hand-to-hand...'
Not only that, but I am pretty sure this is the time when Frank is supposed to find the hacker dude and kill a bunch of people. Anyway, other than me getting stronger in my human form, I have also grown in more than one way. I have now tested every single alien other than Way Big...
Four Arms =
Enhanced Strength: Four Arms possesses immense strength, capable of lifting several times his weight and punching through tough materials, making him one of Ben's strongest aliens.
Shock Wave Generation: He can create shock waves by slamming his fists on the ground or clapping his hands together, a technique known as the Big Smack.
Durability and Resistance: Four Arms has tough, thorny skin that grants him high durability, resistance to fire, and immunity to extreme cold and strong winds.
Agility and Reflexes: He can jump great heights, catch and redirect missiles with enhanced reflexes, and climb walls by creating handholds with his fingers.
Diamondhead =
Crystallokinesis: Diamondhead can manipulate crystals, summoning formations from the ground and controlling their growth to create constructs like pillars, spikes, and traps for enemies.
Physiological Manipulation: He can alter his own crystalline body to form weapons, spikes, and protective structures, allowing for both offense and defense.
Crystal Projectiles: Diamondhead can fire crystal shards from his hands, which can vary in size and can be made explosive on contact.
Energy Deflection and Weak Absorption: His crystalline body can refract and absorb energy beams, rendering many energy-based attacks ineffective.
Durability and Strength: Diamondhead is extremely durable, able to withstand powerful attacks and explosions, and possesses significant physical strength, allowing him to dig and move heavy objects.
Environmental Resistance: He is resistant to extreme conditions, including fire, heat, and underwater environments, and can survive in the vacuum of space.
Aging Resistance: Diamondhead's crystalline structure ages slowly, making him resistant to time manipulation and immune to certain forms of possession and acid attacks.
XLR8 =
XLR8 can reach running speeds of 500 miles per hour and manipulate friction to achieve incredible acceleration.
He can run up walls and on water and is resistant to strong winds due to his aerodynamic body.
XLR8's speed and agility allow him to dodge attacks with ease and react at superhuman speeds.
He can create vortexes by running in circular patterns or spinning at supersonic speeds and combine this with water or fire.
XLR8 possesses great strength, particularly in striking, and is durable enough to withstand high-impact collisions.
He also has a prehensile tail, can jump exceptionally high and far, and has a natural retractable visor to protect his face at high speeds.
And so on...
I read the date I got by testing all my aliens, and the ones I could not test—there were only 2, Heatblast and well, Way Big—for simple reasons: I could not check the temp of Heatblast's hottest fire because well, I did not want to burn my house down, and also Way Big is just too big... Other than that, I have some good understanding of my aliens now...
Other than that, I also go every day in the night to meet Abby, making sure she is fine, and from now and then I speak to May Parker. I even send like $1000 to her bank account, which she did not want to take at all. The stubborn woman said she did nothing, so how was it hers? Funny, really. Anyway, after that, I also met Spider-Man, who was just 6 years old. He was for sure a cheerful kid...
Ugh, anyway, life's been good. I have made a lot of money and stuff, which also made me richer. Nowadays my sudo name is sometimes on the TV Game Freak for hitting a player base of '100,000.' The man behind this? JD, who is he? We know nothing about him other than he likes his privacy...
Other than that, I ended up making hologram technology in these past 5 months, and I don't tell anyone about this. This technology should not be out yet, at least, and just one more little tiny thing... that has happened in the past 5 months.
Removing the time limiter from the Omnitrix... well, I was close, really closer. In fact, I was going to do it tonight, do the last few tests with Gray Matter, and activate the codes in the watch...
Without another second to wait, I twist the dial on my watch and then turn into Gray Matter with a green flash covering me, and then, without a second to wait, I start studying some more and end my tests by doing it on the real thing...
One hour later
I was now human. The reason this took me such a while was because I could not do this in Gray Matter form; I had to do this when I was human. I slowly started to twist the watch head 3 times to the left and then twisted it 6 times to the right and then 7 times a full 360 and then...
Clink...
The watch head of the Omnitrix pops up, and a few seconds later it glows a little blue, and then it goes back in, and I now notice how the watch was a little more lean, and also I smile because, well, I did it...
Ahahahaahah YES, yes! Goddamnyes! If everything is done right, I should not have the time limit at all; it should be like it was in Alien Force. Yeah, I was right; this watch had not been reconfigured fully, but now it was, and without a second thought, I twist the dial and then push it in fast without even looking at the alien, and then with a green light, I turn into Gray Matter, and I jump around the table like a happy froggy for a few seconds before calming down.
And I say, "Ha, great! Now I don't have to worry about 10 minutes holding me back... if my calculations are right, there still is a timer, but it's just way longer now. Not only that, but I am pretty sure I can stay Gray Matter for at least 4 hours... and then I tap the dial head and become human once again with a green light and with a big smile on my face.
"Oh, this is going to be such a fun year..."
