On Vilgax's ship, there were three armored guys in a room, waiting for something.
Vilgax: "Begin the test!" Some drones were sent flying out at them. The one in purple armor activated his rocket pack, and destroyed a bunch of them with his missiles. More continued to come, but the guy in yellow armor and crab legs jumped down, and shot at them with his pincer arm. A giant drone came out, and prepared to attack them, but the guy in black armor brought out a hoverboard, flew towards it, and punched through it, killing it in one blow.
Vilgax: "Excellent. All three of you are hired! Your target is this." On the screen, he showed a picture of the Omnitrix. "Whoever brings it back will receive my reward."
Crab guy: "And the reward will be mine."
Purple guy: "ROTAEBFRA!!" (Alien language, totally untranslatable.) The black one didn't say anything or move at all.
Back on Earth…
Diamondhead: "I told you already, Max. I'm too good for this." Max set up a training course for me to work on my powers with. Ben and Gwen actually were practicing with each other.
Max: "Just show me how good you are then!" He pressed a button, and fired some cans. I shot each one of them down. He made some boards fly up, then I became Heatblast, and threw fireballs at them. He got out some targets, I became Upgrade, and shot lasers at each one. Some cactuses flew up, and I went Diamondhead again, and shot each one down. More targets were shot up on both sides, and I shot diamond shards in both directions. He set the log to be fired, and I became Ghostfreak, and went intangible to dodge it. Then I went Heatblast, and shot it down.
Heatblast: "What'd I tell ya?"
Max: "How about this?" He pushed a button, and a catapult activated, throwing a boulder at me. I turned Fourarms, caught it, and threw it back.
Max: "This then." Some logs started whirling around under me, so I went Wildmutt, and jumped up and down on each one, until they stopped. I panted like a dog after it.
Max: "This, he won't be expecting." He made a hammer come out from the top, and it slammed Wildmutt.
Max: "Oh no!" He ran over, then found a puddle colored white, black, and green. I rematerialized as Upgrade.
Upgarde: "I'm a pro, Max."
Max: "You're right… or are you?" He pushed a remote control button, and I got shot at by a squirt gun, short circuiting Upgrade.
Upgrade: "Oh man…"
Max: "But mastering distractions? Not so much."
I became normal.
Kyle: "Well, I guess I need to work on that, then I'll be unstoppable."
Max: "Well, I guess you're going to want a bit of a break, huh?"
Kyle: "Nah. A few more tries. I want to keep on perfecting my skills at this." I went Fourarms again. Gwen just blocked a punch from Ben, then kicked him away.
Ben: "Oww…"
Gwen: "Come on! You want to be useful, get in gear!"
Ben: "I will alright. YAH!" He tried to kick Gwen but she easily back flipped away from it. "Hey! You can't do that!"
Gwen: "I can, so get over it." She punched him, and he fell flat on the floor. "Oops. I used too much punching power."
Ben got up, and said, "There's no way I will be beaten by my own cousin! HII-YAH!!!" He gave her the strongest punch he could, and Gwen didn't see it coming. She got hit dead-on in the face, and backed up. When Ben tried to get in further, though, she saw him coming, and flipped right over him.
Ben: "What the?" He then got roundhouse kicked to his abdomen, and fell down. Gwen landed, then got him in a headlock on the ground.
Gwen: "Nice shot, Ben. Didn't see it coming."
Ben: "Let go!!!" He was pulling at her arm.
Gwen: "Hmm…. Nah." Ben kept struggling at it, until he socked Gwen in the face, and he got up. He then mounted on top of her.
Ben: "Any last words, Gwen?"
Gwen: "Are you really that dumb?"
Ben: "That's it!" He tried a punch, but Gwen caught it, and pulled him more inwards, and got him in a closed guard. (For those of you that don't know, Gwen has both of her legs wrapped around Ben's back, and her arms holding down his neck.)
Ben: "Hey! This isn't fair, either!"
Gwen: "Nope. Just shows how much I know more than you about this stuff."
Ben: "Nnnnn… Rrrrr…" He kept trying to pull himself out. Meanwhile, I finally finished the whole training course.
Max: "Excellent job." I changed back to normal from Diamondhead.
Kyle: "See. I just need to do this every once in a while to make sure I still got it."
Max: "Yep."
Kyle: "I want to see what Gwen and Ben are doing for their training."
Max: "Their training?"
Kyle: "It was Ben's idea. Ever since our first mission, he's been working with Gwen on martial arts training."
Max: "Oh. That sounds interesting."
Kyle: "I guess Ben wants to be as much use as possible to us. Gwen told me he really wasn't that useful, and I guess Ben realized it, too, or just got jealous that Gwen said that, and wanted to show her otherwise. Something tells me it's the second choice. Seeing how they really don't like each other that much."
Max: "And I'll be in the RV. Gotta make lunch for you three." He headed in, and started cooking up something. I watched Ben and Gwen. They apparently, from I noticed, been going at it a bit.
Kyle (thinking): "They say they're cousins, but they seem more like brother and sister like this." Ben and Gwen were panting. Ben's stomach growled.
Ben: "Oh man. I'm hungry." Gwen's stomach also growled.
Gwen: "Me too. Ugh."
Kyle: "Lucky for us, Max is making lunch."
Ben: "Grandpa…"
Gwen: "Is making…"
Ben and Gwen: "LUNCH??!!!"
Kyle: "Oh come on, guys. It can't be that horrible. I've eaten everything he's made so far, with no complaints."
Ben: "That's because you have a stomach of steel!"
Gwen: "Taste buds of steel, Ben. Taste buds."
Ben: "Whatever." All three of us headed in, and sat down. I was lying back, lounging a bit, with Gwen sitting next to me, with a smiling face, and Ben just sitting down, looking bored.
Kyle: "By the way, how'd your training go, Ben?"
Gwen: "He's making a real effort, that's for sure."
Ben: "But that's all I get an A on."
Gwen: "Just trust me. You'll be better in no time."
Ben: "Not the way you're going at it. Most of those moves I had no idea even existed!"
Gwen: "Just follow my instructions. I'm teaching you moves as fast as is good for both of us, and you really need to learn the word 'blocking."
Ben: "And if I did bring it in to my style?"
Gwen: "You'd have a better chance against me."
Ben: "Hmm…"
Gwen: "But, there's still faking out, combinations, flexibility, speed…"
Ben: "I get it! I'll work harder!"
Gwen: "Good."
Ben: "How 'bout you?"
Kyle: "Hmm… A-."
Max: "More like B."
Kyle: "Okay!"
Ben: "We're both through the ringer, huh?"
Kyle: "Yep." Max then gave us our lunch, which was green slugs.
Gwen: "What is this?"
Ben: "Eww…"
Kyle: "Umm…"
Grandpa: "Spulg au Gratin. It's an experiment the Plumbers did by genetically mixing a slug and a brusselsprout. Not much of a weapon, but you'll get a lot of vitamins from them."
Gwen and Ben passed both of their plates to me.
Kyle: "What?"
Gwen: "You're the only one that enjoys this stuff!"
Kyle: "Ugh… even I'M denying this, Max. I hate veggies, and I've never had snails before."
Ben: "The taste buds of steel finally crack."
Kyle: "But…" I became Stinkfly, and started chowing down on each slug.
Gwen: "Gross!!"
Stinkfly: "But Stinkfly loves this stuff!!"
Ben: "I'm gonna be sick. *MMMPH*" He covered his mouth with his hand, and rushed to the bathroom, barfing up. Gwen opened the window, and barfed the outside of that. Max just laughed.
Stinkfly: "What?"
Max: "Well, it makes you kinda want to barf it up, though. You ate six. You might be barfing any second, Kyle."
Stinkfly: "Gwen! Move over!" I started barfing, too.
Max: "Never eat that much Splug at once. Remember that." I changed back to normal.
Kyle: "Oohh…" Max started up the RV, and took off further into the desert. We stopped at an abandoned town.
Kyle: "Max? What gives?"
Max: "The engine busted." He went out, and Gwen and I followed. He found a diamond shard pierced a pipe in the engine.
Max: "Kyle…"
Kyle: "Oops. My grade dropped to a C, huh?"
Max: "It'll be a D in a second. Just let me fix this."
Kyle: "Wait! I can go Upgrade and fix this up in no time."
Max: "No. I got it, Kyle."
Gwen: "Way to go, dweeb."
Kyle: "Dweeb? I'm older than you. I don't need to take this from you."
Gwen: "Stop reminding me." I walked off to look around at the place, while Gwen leaned back, and Ben walked out, looking better.
Gwen: "Took you that long to barf, Ben?"
Ben: "I had to use the toilet, too."
Max: "I'll empty it later." He went back to fixing the engine.
I looked around an area, looking at the old machinery.
Kyle: "What is all this? An old car wash or something?" I continued poking around, then saw something creeping around. It was big, and had 4 legs.
Kyle: "Crap." I activated the Omnitrix, and went Paraslime to scope out the guy. It was a yellow guy with 4 legs, a giant crab pincher, and a regular hand.
Paraslime: "Dang."
Yellow guy: "Who's there?" I slipped under a machine, and focused on just surveillance. "I know someone's here. I have your energy signature on my scanners." I continued slithering around, and trying to get out of his scanners. "I can detect your heartbeat as well! My scanners are better than you think!" I heard his stomping getting closer and closer. A laser blew apart some machinery, and I instantly shrunk down to a puddle.
Yellow guy: "Hmm… He stopped moving completely, and he's right near me." He walked more towards me as a puddle, and stepped in me. I made an 'oof' noise, and he pointed his claws all around him. He stepped out of me, and I went Ghostfreak, then turned invisible and intangible. I sunk under the ground right before his laser hit me.
Yellow guy: "You can run, but you can't hide."
Ghostfreak: "How do you like… the dark…?"
Yellow guy: "Who's there?"
Ghostfreak: "You can't see me at all…"
Yellow guy: "Did I mention…" I snuck up from behind him, and he turned his head at a full 180 degrees, and said, "I have infrared vision, too?" He shot me with some goop, and I instantly became visible and solid again.
Ghostfreak: "Eww…"
Yellow guy: "This slime solidifies your protoplasm. No sneaking up on me now, Omnitirx wielder." He slammed me with his crab hand, and I sailed through the air until I hit a machine.
Ghostfreak: "Well, how do you like this?" I became XLR8, and spun around in a circle, blowing all the slime away, then I ran towards him, and tail whipped him. He walked back a few inches, and I became Diamondhead, and made my hands swords with spikes on them to attack him. He dug under the ground, and I looked around for him.
Diamondhead: "You have to come out sometime."
Yellow guy: "I know. But when will I come out?" He jumped out, holding a sword, and I deflected it. "Not bad." He said.
Diamondhead: "I have to be." I then became Heatblast, and made a fiery explosion to blow him out of the place, and destroying the building.
Max: "The repairs are done." Him, Ben, and Gwen ran into the RV, and Max started it up. He saw the yellow guy land in front of him, and fireballs hitting him, stunning him.
Max: "Kyle! He's fighting that guy!" He started up the RV, and ran over him. I became XLR8, and ran up to the RV.
XLR8: "Max? What's going on?"
Max: "The repairs are done. We're leaving." I became normal, and ran into the RV. As I did, a giant crab hand came up from under the RV, and started pinching. I became Diamondhead, and started slashing at it. He then pulled it back down, and Max started up the RV at top speed. I changed back to normal again.
Kyle: "That should stop that crab dude."
Max: "It should, if we…" The RV shook a few times. Gwen looked out the window, and saw a purple armored guy shooting down lasers at the top of the RV.
Gwen: "Kyle! Go Upgrade!" I did it as she said it, then merged with the RV. I constructed a laser cannon on the top of the RV, and started shooting at him.
Purple guy: "GUTRYHOIBBSEWAH!!" He dodged a few shots, and got hit, making him fall to the ground. I got back in, and became normal.
Kyle: "Why are these freaks after us?"
Gwen: "The Omnitrix! That's why!"
Kyle: "Oh. Duh!" The yellow dude appeared in front of the RV, and used a laser to shoot down a wheel. It spun out, and hit a wall.
Kyle: "Guys! I'll take care of these freakshows!" I went Upgrade again, merged with the RV, then separate don the outside, and went Fourarms.
Yellow guy: "I see we've got your attention." The purple guy landed right next to him
Purple guy: "TREVHIHGFOOHBOKAHH!!"
Fourarms: "You messed with the wrong superhero!" I ran towards them, and attempted to clothesline them. The purple guy flew up, and started shooting lasers. I jumped, and slammed him down to the ground. The yellow one grabbed one of my arms, and threw me aside with his crab arm. I became Paraslime, and splattered against a wall, slipped down, and the purple guy shot missiles at me, at which I slithered very fast through, and the yellow guy fired lasers at me, but I dodged them, too. I then went Heatblast, launched myself up at him, and slammed a large fireball on the purple guy. He fell to the ground, and grabbed an energy whip. He lassoed me, and I was slammed down, but disappeared from their view after the smoke cleared. Ben, Gwen, and Max left the RV, and were looking for me. I came up from under the ground as Ghostfreak, then turned Diamondhead, and made a diamond wall under them. They were taken by complete surprise, and flew up into the air. I shot diamond shards at them, and the purple guy flew away, and, to my surprise, the yellow guy slammed his fist through the diamond, and used his pincer to hit me, which sent me flying, and the purple guy lassoed me again, and he slammed me into a wall. I slammed back down to the ground.
Max: "Kyle! They're too powerful for you! Run and come up with a better plan!" I emerged from the rubble.
Kyle: "No Max! A real hero would never back down from a fight!" I went Fourarms, and charged at them with no real plan, and the yellow guy burrowed underground again, and I jumped, and slammed the purple guy down again. He blew me off with a laser beam. The yellow guy jumped back up, grabbed me with his crab arm, and slammed me into the ground. I went Grey Matter, and was hidden from view.
Yellow guy: "Where is he?" The purple guy found me crawling up his back, and shot, but I jumped off. The laser hit the yellow guy, and I went XLR8, then started barraging the yellow guy with kicks, until he slammed me with his pincher arm. I became Paraslime, and splattered again, then went Diamondhead, and rushed back into the fight. Gwen, Ben and Max headed away to find shelter.
Gwen: "He's getting beaten out there, Grandpa…"
Ben: "We gotta do something!"
Max: "No. We can't. We don't have the gear to help him now. Or the power."
Ben: "But we have to do something!"
Gwen: "C'mon Kyle! You can win! You've faced larger guys then them before!!"
I slashed at the purple guy, who jumped, then the yellow guy hit me with his sword. I flew backwards, then went Stinkfly, and shot some slime at the yellow guy. He got blinded, and I went XLR8, created a tornado around both of them, and they were sent flying upwards until the hit the ground. I went Fourarms, jumped, and prepared to slam the both of them into the ground, and the yellow guy dug back underground, and the purple guy flew away from me. I went Diamondhead, and shot diamond shards in the purple guy's direction, then a smoke bomb blew up near me, and exploded. I was coughing in the smoke, then fell unconscious, which made me return to normal. I woke up later to see a guy in black armor looking down at me.
Kyle: "AH!" I jumped away from him, and readied the Omnitrix.
Black guy: "I'll give you a suggestion, kid. Turn into a Petrosapien."
Kyle: "Huh?"
Black guy: "Diamond-like thing?"
Kyle: "Why?"
Black guy: "Just do it." I did, then made my hands blades, and rushed for him. He side-stepped me, and kicked me aside.
Diamondhead: "Hey!" I shot diamond shards at him, but they all bounced off his armor.
Black guy: "Show me some real power, kid!"
Diamondhead: "I will alright!" I rushed for him, and repeatedly tried punching him, but he dodged each shot, and kneed me. I fell over, and he kicked me aside. I got up, and kicked at him, but he jumped. I tried an uppercut, but he roundhouse-kicked me, and I went tumbling a few feet, and fell flat on my butt.
Black guy: "Get up, kid. This isn't going to be fun if you don't fight back efficiently."
Diamondhead: "Efficiency this!" I slammed my fists into the ground, and diamonds were sent going towards him, but he jumped on TOP of them, ran across, and socked me in the jaw. I fell back about 6 feet.
Diamondhead: "You're going down!!" I shot more shards at him, but they bounced off.
Black guy: "I told you. That's useless." I then pulled off the spikes on my back and threw them like boomerangs. He stood still, and they both bounced off of him. I grew new spikes out of my back right after.
Black guy: "You know what this form can do and how to attack with it, but you don't know how to properly analyze your opponent's weaknesses and use them against them."
Diamondhead: "Well, what makes you such a big expert?" His helmet opened up, and showed a 'Petrosapien' head.
Diamondhead: "We're… the same?"
Petrosapien: "We're the same species. You are just an impulsive hothead."
Diamondhead: "Impulsive hothead?!"
Petrosapien: "Name's Tetrax."
Diamondhead: "I don't know if I should tell you my name, considering your unwelcome and offensive introduction."
Tetrax: "Um, sorry, kid."
Diamondhead: "And stop calling me kid!"
Tetrax: "Well, what should I call you? Impulsivo?"
Diamondhead: "I'm… Kyle."
Tetrax: "You seem to have a good understanding of the Omnitrix. I'm amazed you mastered it so quickly. I watched your fight with Kraab and Sixsix."
Diamondhead: "Those two guys?"
Tetrax: "Yes. But, I need to see you." I reverted to normal.
Kyle: "Why?"
Tetrax: "I need to take these two bounty hunters in to custody. I was hoping you'd be of some assistance, but as seeing you're just a child…"
Kyle: "Tetrax! I can fight!"
Tetrax: "But not well enough. You don't have the mental capacity to know the Omnitrix's true powers."
Kyle: "True?"
Tetrax: "Listen to me. The being that transported this device activated every function…"
Kraab: "There you two are!"
Tetrax: "Oh no! They have your friends!"
Kyle: "Let's do this Tetrax!" I became Fourarms.
Tetrax: "No wait! Sixsix has your friends hostage! It would be foolish to attack them like this." I stopped.
Tetrax: "Assess the situation." I started seeing what was happening.
Kraab: "Turn yourself in, and we can just leave this planet in peace. Understand? Or these three pay the price."
Max: "Don't worry about us, Kyle! Just do it!"
Ben: "Yeah!"
Gwen: "Do something!" I reverted to normal, and held both of my hands out.
Tetrax: "No! Kyle!"
Kraab: "That's it…Sixsix!" He dropped them, and as soon as he grabbed my arms, He pressed the Omnitrix button down, and I turned Grey Matter, and jumped on him.
Sixsix: "GRATHDOUGFADSABAH!!" He flailed around, but I stuck to him, and climbed onto his jet pack. I broke it open, and he was sent flying all over the place. Tetrax grabbed his gun, and shot at Kraab, knocking him down. Kraab shot back, and Tetrax got on his hoverboard, flew at him, and socked him. Kraab fell down, and I got Sixsix to ram into him, knocking them into the water tower. I then went XLR8, ran towards them, jumped, collected all the water inside, and dropped it all on them, short circuiting their armor so badly they could not move. I ran back to Tetrax.
XLR8: "How was that?"
Tetrax: "Hmm. You assessed the situation, and came up with a strategy to deal with it. I'm impressed." I reverted to normal, and Tetrax used a cube on Kraab and Sixsix. It enveloped them, and shrunk down to a handheld size, with them nowhere to be seen around it.
Tetrax: "I'll be going now."
Kyle: "Wait! Don't you want to come with us?"
Tetrax: "I would love too, but I'm currently too busy. But we will meet again."
Gwen: "Wait!"
Tetrax: "Yes?"
Gwen: "Thank you, Mr…"
Tetrax: "Please, just Tetrax. No thanks are necessary. Bye to you all." He gave me his hoverboard. He pressed a button on his suit, and he teleported off.
Ben: "That was cool."
Kyle: "My first alien friend. Tetrax. I hope he shows up again sometime soon."
Max: "I hope so, too." Gwen hugged me.
Gwen: "Don't ever leave us alone like that again! I thought we'd die for sure! *Sniffle*"
Kyle: "I won't. I also want to figure out what Tetrax was saying about the Omnitrix, though. He said whoever was teleporting it activated everything, but, what is everything?"
Ben: "More aliens?"
Max: "Perhaps." Gwen let go.
Gwen: "Well, We'll find out eventually, I bet."
Kyle: "Yeah. I bet, too."
On Vilgax's ship…
Vilgax: "WHY??!! Why does every plan I try fail me!!?"
Robot: "It's just too easy for it to fight off these enemies."
Vilgax: "We will meet in battle someday. It will regret ever meeting me!"
To be continued… What do you think Tetrax was going to say?
