Chereads / Ben 10; Omnitrix Reload / Chapter 10 - Chapter 7: Secrets

Chapter 10 - Chapter 7: Secrets

Blood cells flow through the stream calmingly while a heart beats.

Air slowly escapes Will's mouth.

Different color of DNA strands rotates and hides from sight.

The undescribable voices filled the boy's head while his veins grew dead. The effect races up his arms while their sleeping quarters around him become swallowed by darkness.

Will clunches his eyes lids while his breath quickens.

His nails dug into his palm breaking skin. The boy's skin tone shifts black while his hair touches the ceiling.

Will forces his eyes open, revealing a white glow.

A gasp escapes his lips.

An alien filled with an embodiment of space looks back at Will, flaring her green eyes while two giant faces appear by her side.

"You're hand." A soft voice escapes the lips of a woman filled with tenderness.

"Is key. To your survival." A gruff escapes from the lips of a man filled with hatred.

"M-my hand?" Will stuttered, stumbling back as the Cosmic Alien shifted her feet towards the boy. "Wa-"

---

Cosmic Alien= Alien X

---

The boy blinks his eyes.

Alien X towered over him.

Will files off his feet while times slow down.

The boy's eyes grew cold while he stared at his back. His fingers tips grew apart from the shell he once knew.

Suddenly he was yanked from the four and into the abyss.

The boy screamed and flipped before landing on the street.

Will looks up at the tattered road of flipped cars, fire, and debris.

A crash of metal snapped Will to Vilgax on a smashed car ahead of the boy.

He pointed down the road while a war cry snapped the boy to rumbling from behind him.

An army consists of Benita's aliens. Rushes Will.

The boy froze while the army consumed him.

Fourarms run through Will like he's a ghost.

The boy falls onto his back as Wildmutt, Heatblast, and alien-like wolves sprints over and past him.

Stinkflies roar above them as Will stands to his feet with eyes touching his forehead.

"My lord." A voice snapped Will's vision to Ghostfreak by Vilgax's side. "They're holding out at Bellwood park. There point is a fountain in the center of it."

"Good, it seems they're hiding. My slaves." Vilgax stated with his eyes not staring at Ghostfreak. "Find them."

Ghostfreak saluted before taking off with the army.

Villgax glances back at Will.

"You are only a substitute." Vilgax and a voice similar to Will stated.

Vilgax's appearance flashes, revealing the male version of Alien X, yet his eyes is white.

"You have to choose a side." Vilgax approaches while a hologram of Alien X stands before the boy. They lean in close their eyes, nearly meeting."When it comes, will you change the course of history? Or will this be your doom?" His White eyes blinds Will.

-----

"Ugh!!" Will screams before falling on his back: his heart throbbed out of his chest.

His eyes snapped all over their sleeping Quarters to see Gwen and Benita out of their beds approaching him.

"Will. You. Ok?" Gwen places her hand on his shoulder.

"I-I got another vision!" His widened eyes stared at Gwen's. "But this is not a flashback!" Will raised his voice. "No! It was different!"

"Different?" Benita questioned while she kneeled on Will's level.

"There were these green faces, This Alien made of space itself! She's fast! Faster than XLR8! She punched the soul out of me!!"

"Breath. Will." Gwen ordered while she placed her hands on his cheeks. "Followed along."

"W-what did they say?" Benita said, getting the two attention. " They must talk before growing hostile."

"M-my hand. It's a key to our survival." Will stated while Gwen's eyes lingered on Benita.

"Do you know them?" Gwen questioned.

"What?"

"Ben. It's not the time." She squinted her eyes while Benita folded her arms and looked away from them.

"Hardly."

"Ben!"

"Someone's watching us!" Benita raised her voice before looking back at the two. "It's not like it's checking in once in a while, but it intends to watch our every move."

"How long have you kept this?" Will questioned.

"Since Zombozo."

Gwen rubs the bridge of her nose. Benita and Will notice her shaking hands before she sighs.

"Is there any other we should know about?" Gwen questioned.

"There's this alien squid-humanoid built with enhancements. That alien led an army of Ben's aliens toward Bellwood park."

"Get some. Rest." Max's voice made them snap to him standing at the entrance. His eyes were piercing their souls before he headed to the steering wheel.

"Y-you guys felt that?" Benita questioned with sweat pouring from her face.

Gwen and Will studied Max while he started the RV.

...

In the morning, still in the RV.

Benita paced around as Gwen was on the computer while Will meditated in the back.

"Gwen, let me play on your laptop." Benita stood over Gwen.

"That's too bad. You have to learn how to entertain yourself without it." Benita glares and enters the bathroom.

Will opened his eyes before standing to his feet. He approaches, Gwen still on her laptop.

"Ugh! How many times do I-" Gwen noticed the boy. "Sorry. Do you need something?"

"No. I'm good." Will sits in front of Gwen. He leaned back on his seat, looking out the window of the hillside road before they entered an underpass tunnel. "Just. Hang in there."

"And. You think I'm not?" Gwen looks up at Will. "With so much going on. I'd thought it was our big break, yet the more we're on the road. The deeper we're in this mess." Gwen sighs, leaning against her seat. Her shoe taps rapidly against the floor, filling the boy's ears. "You won't lie to me. Won't you?"

"No. What's on your mind?"

"Ben, mentioning the vision she had."

Indescribable whispers filled the boy's head.

"Don't answer that." A waspy voice suggests. "If you know what's best for you."

Gwen's green eyes land on the boy's brown.

"You had one too?" She questioned while the boy lingered.

"Yes." Will sighs before looking out the window, presenting the orange light of the tunnel. "You tried to kill me." He paused. "You said I betrayed you all. I thought it was one of Zombozo's tricks, yet I kept lingering on what you said."

Gwen folds her arms, closing her eyes. She remained silent.

"This is more. On our laundry list of problems." Gwen stated before pausing. "Thanks. For trusting me with this."

Will hovered his eyes to Gwen before nodding.

The Rv exited from the tunnel, shining in the light. Gwen got back on her laptop before furrowing her brows.

"Huh?" She clicks her laptop; nothing works.

Upgrade's face appears on the screen.

"Good day, madam.~"

"Ben! Get out of there!" She tried to dump her out but couldn't. "You going get cooties all over it!"

The computer turns black with green lines. Legs grew from it before leaping from Gwen and onto the table.

"There is so much here. Oh, a diary.~" Gwen tries to snatch her up, but she dodges. "Dear diary, when will-"

"Ben! Knock it. Off." Max ordered, getting the children's attention. "This is not the time to turn alien."

A red light flashes, revealing Benita holding Gwen's laptop. "Give Gwen back her laptop."

Benita does so before sitting next to Will folding her arms.

Will looked back out the window, seeing a plain of tall grass.

'You're grandpa looked on edge?' A familiar voice filled his head.

'Grandpa? We're not related.' Will replied in his head.

'Ugh. Sorry.' Hydra lightly chuckled. 'Is this the right time?'

'You're fine. And I don't know.' Will looks back at Max, releasing an intense aura. "I don't know what, but I believe he would tell us soon."

'Alright-'

'You won't lie to me.' Will cut her off while Hydra remained silent. 'How do you do it? I feel you or maybe your soul. It's far, but it's not here, and I can hear your heart racing like it's mine.' He remained silent. 'That's fine. Don't rush, but remember. You owe me this.'

'I understand. I'll tell you when the time is right.' Hydra stated before Will's eyes landed on a city on fire. "What's wrong?! I sense your heart just spiked."

"Crap!" Benita stood from her seat. "Grandpa! Pull over!" Benita shouted while Max only ignored her. "Grandpa!"

"They're fine. Ben. They evacuated." Max said while focusing on the road.

"Do you know that for sure?!"

"Because I know."

"Ben." Gwen paused, looking at the city. "I'm siding with Grandpa."

"Will!" Benita called, landing her green eyes on the boy.

Will looks to the city before looking at Benita.

"I-I don't know. Ben." Benita looked at him, disgusted. "It doesn't seem-"

Benita's watch chirped.

"Fine. I'll do it myself!" She charged through the door, slamming her watch.

The RV came grinding to a halt.

"Ben!" Will and Gwen called, looking out the door to a fire stream headed for the city.

Will felt a pair of giant hands press against his shoulders before turning him around to Max's widened, shaking eyes.

"Will, I'm asking for too much, but protect her and bring her back. Can you do that for me?" He asked urgently.

"Ye-Yes." Will stuttered before looking back at Gwen, giving a worried look.

Will run through the door while rocks cover his skin. Magma traveled through the cracks while his eyes were in flames.

Nova took off to the city after Heatblast.

'There are so many secrets in one day.' A voice whispered in Nova's head as he grew closer to the city. 'Silly girl.'

"I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN!!" Nova roared before boosting faster.

Arriving in the city, he noticed Heatblast become surrounded by drones-saucer.

She shoots left and right before spinning from a beam coming from her blind spot. She capoeira kicks a drone rushing her.

Another drone rushes the firey woman's blind spot, only for Nova to crash through it.

He roared, burning it into a puddle of lava.

"I'm glad!" Heatblast ducks from a drone attempting to slice her in half. She fired at its blind spot, causing it to explode. "You made up your mind!"

Nova sidesteps from a beam before firing back.

They continued fighting this heated ambush.

Nova blasted over a drone, driving his fist into it.

"Shit!" Nova ripped his fist from it. "Reinforcements!" Nova roared while Heatblast looked down the road of scraped drones at the army of them coming at them.

Not only that. But three super drones backing them up that they had trouble fighting against at the beginning of their journey.

"Cover me!" Heatblast ordered while focusing on a small swirl of flames between the palms of her hands.

"What are you doing?!"

"Just! Do it!"

Nova eyed a few drones rushing from the army toward them.

'I can help.' A voice whispered in Nova's head. He raised his fist, firing at the horde.

"With what?!" Nova roared, hitting one.

'You need it or not?'

A drone shoots a blue beam toward Heatblast.

"Do it!"

Undescribable voices filled his head while Nova felt his body dismembered itself before his vision became red.

His vision rushes in front of the beam. Nova quickly rebuilt itself, taking the attack to his arm.

Lava leaked from it as he whipped his arm to the side. Drips of lava hit the street.

"You just turned into a cloud of smoke!" Heatblast shouted with her eyes widened.

"Focus!" Nova roared, noticing the drones arriving.

Nova rushes the approaching drones, rushing him. He fired while they fired, dodging his beam.

Nova smoke dashes past it. Before blasting himself into the sky. The edges of his vision become blue while he drives his fist through a head of a drone.

'Novis!' A familiar voice rang to him as he landed on the street. Nova side rolled from a beam before snapping his fire at a drone, destroying it. 'Hide!'

Two more drones fired blue beams at Heatblast, only for her to take it on the shoulder and calf.

She stumbled to a knee keeping the chaotic flames at bay.

'Don't move. I'll be back!' That familiar voice ceased within Nova's head while lava poured from his eyes.

"Noo!" Nova roared before smoke, dashing toward Heatblast. He leaped from a car firing at the two, destroying one while falling on another.

The drone fired at his chest. He took it while slicing it in half with a fire-shaped blade.

Nova lands on the street, clenching his chest. Blue beams flew past his head as he dived behind a flipped car, Only for a Super drone to smash his only cover.

Nova slides onto his back, only for him to flip onto his feet.

"Move!" Heatblast screams. Nova sees her spinning on her feet. Nova smoke dashed onto the sidewalk. "RAAAAGH!!"

Heatblast releases a Flaming Vortex onto the streets. It swallowed cars, Super Drones and Saucers-drones alike, leaving a trail.

Heatblast falls onto her face.

"It doesn't look like it's stopping!" Nova stated before standing to his feet and blasting into the sky. He flipped above the vortex before diving into it.

The vortex disperses, leaving a jungle of flames in its wake.

Nova kept to his knee before hurling a puddle of lava onto the street. His vision returned.

'Sorry, I didn't mention the side effects.' Nova's pants clenched his chest. 'Good news. You finalized my memory. Bad news, That was only ten percent.'

"W-what happened to."

'Our memories jointed. Now! Focus!'

"Will!" Nova hears Heatblast rushing him. She places her hands on him. " I got my end! Absorb this! Now!"

The jungle of fire became absorbed by Nova. The wound he suffered healed, leaving the streets marked with scorch.

Nova stood to his feet.

"H-how?!" Heatblast questioned wide-eyed. "I don't think I can do that."

"I jointed memories with Nova. And How can you do moves like that?"

"I would like to tell you, but this is not the time." Heatblast scans her head around. "Hello?!" She called. "We're here to help!"

"Wait! Ben, let's get out of here." Nova suggested.

"Leave? People need our help!"

"This is a ghost town."

"And How do you know?!"

" I just know!" Nova raised his voice back. "Think! Ben! No one here! There's an army of robots we've faced meant for the two of us! Not only that, they managed to hurt us! And Max wants me to bring you back! I had never seen him this desperate!" Heatblast glared at him. "Please. Let's go."

Nova reaches for her, only for Heatblast to step back.

"And I thought you changed your tune."

A crash behind Heatblast caused the two to snap to it. The debris fell, revealing Vilgax towering over them from afar.

"Who are you?" HeatBlast questioned while she and Nova pointed their fists at Vilgax.

Vilgax remained silent, glaring as he began to approach them.

"I'D WAITED FOR THIS!!" Nova roared out, and Heatblast staggered. "RAAAAGH!!"

He rushed Vilgax firing at him, and Vilgax took the attack unfazed.

Vilgax punched down on him, only for Nova to smoke dash from his attack. He punches Vilgax's jaw causing him to recoil before he backhands Nova into a building.

Nova and the debris slide to a stop, He grunts, staring at the ceiling.

"W-what are you doing?!" Nova roared to himself as he stood to his feet. "This is not worth it!!" Nova clenches his fists, and lava leaks to the floor. "You know my pain!" He climbed out the hole in the wall.

Heatblast dodges Vilgax's crushing stomp.

"And you know she took my sister and Cinder tribe with it!!" Nova goes to take a step, only for his body to shake. "BOY! Don't do this!"

"What are you doing?!" Heatblast questioned as she rolled from Vilgax swipe. He grabs her throat. "UGH! Help!" She gasped.

"I'm doing this MY way!" Nova roared, rushing Vilgax.

He uses his flames to slide toward Vilgax. Nova backflips and kicks Vilgax's chin using Red Riot's foot.

Vilgax stumbles, releasing Heatblast while Nova unleashes a barrage of fireballs in mid-air.

"Tha! Tha! Tha! Tha! haaaaaaa!!!" Nova screams, shooting a beam of flames, but Vilgax grabs Nova's ankle from the smoke.

He hurls Nova down the street. He flips, hitting the hood of a car before flying into a fuel truck, causing an explosion.

Nova flew into the sky before crashing onto the roof at the end of the street.

He sits up to see Vilgax coming down on him.

They wreck floor after floor. Reaching the bottom of the building as dust pours.

"You are. Testing my patience." Vilgax stated while the smoke settled, revealing Red riot flashing his bloody teeth. "If you're smart. Hand over the girl."

"Hands off him!! You son of a bitch!" A voice shouted before a bat slammed onto Vilgax's head, bending it. He looked to see a Mid-age man gazing in shock.

Vilgax backhands him into his fridge, splattering blood.

Red riot breath shook, seeing the man lying on the floor.

"Ha. Ha." His eyes burst into electricity while he clenches his teeth and hands harder.

He dents Vilgax's arm.

"If you're angry. Fetch me the girl." Vilgax stated before throwing Red Riot out of the building. He smashed into a truck while Vilgax walked from the hole in the wall. "Unamusing." A fireball slams into his face.

"Said the guy. With daddy issues." Heatblast called out. She continued her onslaught, but it wasn't leaving a scratch.

Vilgax approaches her until the RV smacks Vilgax into a wall.

It reverses in front of Heatblast and Red Riot, climbing out of the hood.

A door opens, revealing Gwen.

"Grandpa wants you in, now!!" She ordered.

"What? No, I was going to show this guy. Fire. And rock." She raises her fists. Her watch times out. "Nevermind." Red Riot picks her up under his arm.

They entered the Rv while Gwen closed it. The Rv took off.

"Trust me, Ben. You do not want to pick a fight with Vilgax." He looks up at the head-view mirror.

"You know." Red Riot starts before shifting back to Will. "This guy!"

"Wait, how did you know about this guy?!" Benita questioned.

"You kept this from us!" Will roared at Max.

"I was. Going to tell you." Max reassured.

"Long enough for him to murder a guy?!" Benita and Gwen stagger. "He tried to help me!" He clenches his teeth. "And I was too weak to stop him." His voice cracks.

"This is not your fault."

Benita clenches her fists.

An explosion shook the RV.

The kids stumble, and Gwen gets to the passenger seat. Benita and Will fell on their backs. The RV continues dodging while Will grabs onto the counter.

"Keep it steady!" Will order before opening a window.

Gwen looks back from her seat.

"What are you-" The boy's hand engulfed, Nova. He begins shooting fireballs through the window; as one saucer drone blows up, taking another with it. The RV was swift, dodging lasers and explosions.

"It's ready! I'll provide air support!" Benita shouted before opening the door.

"Ben! don't!!" The trio shouted only for a green light to flash.

Stink fly flew out the door.

"Will!" Max shouted.

"I!" The boy started before shifting Zero. "Know!"

He took off after her.

Stink fly crawls on a drone and uses her stinger to jam the canon.

She flew off, watching the drone exploded.

"Drones zero- Benita forty." Zero phases through a few, drones casing them in ice, extinguishing the heat from the RV back.

"Ben, back in the RV, now!" Zero ordered.

"Why so strict? Will, I believe we can take this Vilgax down. We put our aliens together. We could-" Vilgax grabs their ankles, hanging for dear life.

"Hand me! The Omnitrix." Vilgax ordered.

"Omni-who?" Zero and Stinkfly questioned before using their ice and green goo to blind Vilgax.

He crashes into a building.

"Come on!"

"Alright!" She rolled her four eyes and flew ahead of him; Her symbol ticks. "Oh! No!"

A red light flashes.

"Ah!" Zero catches her.

"I got you."

Gwen leaned out the window, waving her arm.

"Come on! Come on!" She gasped. "Above you!!" She screams.

Zero looks up to see Vilgax falling on him.

Zero quickly hurls Benita before Vilgax falls onto him.

Inches from the RV, a crater forms while Gwen catches Benita before Gwen yanks Benita inside.

The feedback caused The RV to stand on its two front wheels.

Gwen grabs onto the booth while Benita Gwen's foot.

The children scream for dear life. Max tries to keep his bearings.

Luckily, the RV fell back on its four wheels and took off down the road.

"Is everyone! Alright?" Max questioned.

"If you expect me to scream bloody murder while a giant Alien aggressively stalks us. I'm doing better."

"Wait! Were missing a body." Benita shouted before peaking her head out the window of the RV.

....

Zero grunts while Vilgax grabs him by his throat.

Zero phases through his hand, casing it in ice, he flees, but Vilgax hurls an advance grenade in front of his escape.

A Blue light flares; blowing Zero back, he crashes into the street.

"RUAAAAAAGGGH!!!" Zero roared while His body tensed.

His wings fluttering in panic, his heart raced; his veins pulsed blue while Vilgax approached.

Vilgax stood over him, showering Zero in his shadow.

Zero breath shakes.

"That was. Only a prototype." Vilgax stated before stomping his face.

----

The RV drive passed a trespassing sign on mount Rushmore.

"Uh, Grandpa?" Gwen stared at Max.

"Don't. Worry." Max muttered while He parked the RV.

The rocks under them shake; the rocky platform takes them down like an elevator.

"My God. Who are you?"

"I'll explain, but it will be some other time." He looks up at the head mirror seeing Benita in distress. "Ben."

Benita glares and looks away.

The platform stops, revealing a massive room of lock boxes.

"Benita. We will get him back." Max reassured.

"More action. Less talking." Benita squinted her eyes at him.

"Ben!" Gwen called out.

"Don't you dare! Cover him!" Benita stood up from her seat. "If Max would've explained! None of this would've happened!"

"Have you ever considered! That you were the source?! I'm not the one fighting an unbeatable battle." Gwen folded her arms. "Where is your respect?!"

"It's long due."

"Gwen, that's enough." Max stood from his seat. "We're wasting time. Will needs us." He exited the RV.

Gwen shook her head with an unamused glance at Benita, looking out the RV window, and followed after Max.

The two walked down the hall of lock boxes.

"Who are you?" Gwen questioned, following Max's steps.

"A Plumber." Max paused. "And not the ones your thinking. We were protectors of Earth and the galaxy. To prevent any leaks of aliens from appearing in public." Max opened the locker, searching inside.

"When did it start? And were their aliens involved in this band?"

"1700s. The founders were George Washington and Benjamin Franklin." Max pulled out a bulky grenade, hinting at a bit of mystery. Max lightly tossed it in the air before catching it. He walked down the hall once more. "Only a few. Yet they didn't see eye to eye as I did. They provided technology for our expansion and helped with Key points. Time goes. We became flawed to function."

Gwen stayed silent as she noticed Max heading for the giant door from the library of lock boxes.

"I'm unsure if this connects, but what's with the gloves?" Max came to a halt, showing his back to Gwen. "Grandpa?" Gwen questioned while Max did something from Gwen's view, giving an audible click.

He turned to her, causing her to gasp.

Max's hand was in the palm of another.

"All I ask from you. Is to give me time." Max said softly before staring Gwen in her eyes. Gwen remained silent, staring at the hand before nodding. "You're kindness is unraveling." He attaches his hand back.

"Can you help Will with his Hex?" Gwen questioned while Max stood in front of the door.

"This tech is outdated." Max slowly opened the vault. "And I haven't met. Anyone that openly experienced with the Omnitrix."

Gwen got a first glance at the vault, only for her to squint her eyes.

"Do you have invisible armor or maybe a gun?" Max gazed into the vault, only for his eyes to turn cold.

"Someone got it. Before us." Max stated before searching lockers in the vault.

"What is it?" Gwen questioned while Max pulled out a gun filled with buttons on the barrel.

"Our last resort."

Grunting, Will is hoisted with Metal restraints to his hands and feet in the center of a room of blue light.

His breath was a wisp, his eyes bloodshot, and his muscles tense.

"Ah. Ah. Ha." The boy pants.

A metal door opens, revealing Vilgax approaching the boy.

His metal boots crashed against the floor before he stopped standing before him.

"You're still. Alive." Vilgax said while Will faintly breathed. "You could make a great apprentice." Vilgax looks to a panel in front of him. "You're only a substitute."

"Wh-" Will choked while Vilgax looked up at him. "Why?"

"Simple." Vilgax looked back at the panel. "You were in the wrong place at the wrong time." He begins typing away on a console.

The boy's body twitched as he stared at the cold metal floor.

An indescribable voice pierces his head before it becomes clear.

'Will.' A familiar voice called out.

'Hyd-'

'Shut up and listen. The others are on the way. Endure a little longer.'

'Pain...'

'I..know.' She became quiet.

"Kill. me." Will muttered under his breath while his veins grew dead. Vilgax ignored. "Kill! Me!" Will picks up his voice, his sclera eyes shifts black, and his pupils become a blank white. "Kill!!! ME!!!" He roared. Will clenches his fists while his beating heart roar in his ears.

"Quiet. Boy." Vilgax ordered, looking up at the boy only for his eyes to widen.

The boy shaking lips flashed his clenched teeth as he stared down at the Vilgax.

"KILL!!! ME!!!" Will boom before Vilgax presses something on the panel. The blue lights became brighter while the kid screamed.

"I shall grant your wish. After the extraction."

"ARGH!! AAAAH!!" His screams echo the room. Vilgax raised the lever a bit more. "HAAAAAAAA!!" Tears rained down the boy's face while his beating heart began to slow down.

The RV crashed into the room and drifted to a stop. Vilgax turns to the intruders and glares.

"Tennyson."

"They're have been a breach! " A voice spoke from the ship. "Trespassers! Has entered." The alarm blared, cutting the blue light, and replacing it with scarlet.

The door from the RV slammed open while Max dived from it before aiming at Vilgax with a cannon in hand.

"Hands off. My Granddaughter's friend." Max ordered before firing the alien-like cannon, blasting Vilgax through the metal door.

Gwen and Benita exit from the Rv.

"HAAAAAAA!!!" Will screams

"Will!!!" They race to the controls. Max follows.

"H-how do I work this thing?!!!" Benita questioned while she glanced at the boy's appearance.

"Give me a try." Max pushes Benita aside before messing with the console.

Electricity burst and Will's scream grew louder.

"What did you do?!" Gwen questioned.

"BLOODY!!" Impulse scream before Wild Canine, Avalanche, Red Riot, Zero, and Grid shift in the rapid session.

A green light flashes before Fourarms rips the restraints from Grid and catches him.

Fourarms drops to her knees while Gwen and Max appear by her side, staring down the terrible-looking Grid.

"W-what did he do to you?" Fourarms said softly before Grid green eyes but now replaced with white, stared up at her.

"Thank...you." He falls unconscious.

"Will?!" Fourarms called, shaking Grid while Max checked his pulse.

"He's slipping! Get him in the RV!" Max ordered while the three raced to the destination.

A beam hits Fourarms back. She hunches over the three.

"Go!" Fourarms passes Grid to Max, only for Grid to shift into Upgrade, Which falls between his arms and onto the floor, becoming the puddle of goo.

----

Upgrade Will: Update

-------

"Now of all times!" Gwen said urgently while she and Max hastily collected Update.

Fourarms snapped behind her, only for her to block a beam aimed at her face.

She hisses, seeing her burned skin.

She glares at Saucer drones, staring them down.

Fourarms charges them, blocking their assault.

She dodges a stab attempt from a drone saucer, destroying it in one swift move.

"Can you pick up the paste?!" FourArms ordered.

"Rushing us is only bound to mistakes!" Gwen shouted. "Come on!!" Update keeps slipping between their fingertips.

A saucer drone slipped by Fourarms and targeted Gwen and Max.

"AAAH!!" Gwen screamed before Update puddle leaped onto the drone, gaining possession.

"Ben! Get back." The Update saucer-drone grew sharp edges and hurled itself, cutting down the group of the enemy counterparts.

His dull green lines shift into Grey Matter that flew from the Saucer drone that crashed into the wall.

"Aaaah!!" He screams before hitting the cold floor.

The little guy dressed in black and white spandex stood to a knee with tired eyes.

"Gwen!" Fourarms roared while Gwen raced over to Grey matter, getting up.

"Relex!" Gwen said before placing Grey matter in the palm of her hands.

---

Grey Matter Will= Little Genius or LG

-----

"I will! After he's dead!" LG argued while Gwen raced to the RV.

"What are you saying?!" Gwen questioned. "Ben!" She runs past Fourarms scouting the area.

Max and Gwen entered the RV.

Fourarms race to the RV, but Vilgax clotheslines her through the busted restraint that shocks her.

"ARGH!!" She screams.

Little Genius stared at the window wide-eyed while Fourarms switched through Heatblast, Stinkfly, and Wildmutt in one go.

Wildmutt shakes her head before pouncing at Vilgax, only for him to hurl her out. The hole in the wall.

LG struggles from Gwen's hands before leaping onto the door handle.

"Wait!" Gwen called. LG opened the door before falling onto the carpet.

"An! Stop!" Max shouted while Gwen snatched him up, only for LG to roll from her grasp.

"Stop!!" Gwen shouted, getting Vilgax to look back to LG sprinting at him.

----

Dante Rose- Roses (feat. Whoisrune)- Soundcloud

---

"YOU!" LG started before his size grew into Red Riot. "BASTARD!! He tackles Vilgax off the ship.

The rushing air filled their ears while they began to flip.

"You know! How this ends!" Vilgax shouted before he sledgehammered Riots back.

Vilgax clocks Red riot against his jaw, causing him to let go.

He spun, gaining distance from Vilgax while the whispers in his head grew loud as his heart.

Red Riot grunts before recovering. His eyes burst into electricity while he dives into Vilgax once more.

Red Riot and Vilgax exchange blows while spinning in a frenzy, gliding close to land.

"You Tennyson's. Are pest!" He goes for a punch, but Red Riot randomly shifts into Village of Sound (Echo Echo). Vilgax misses the hitbox.

"I'm no Tennyson." Echo Echo glared. "BAAAAAH!!! He sonic scream Vilgax into the woods while Echo Echo's kickback launches him higher in the sky. "Ah, NOOOO!!" His eyes land on RipJaws, not looking so good until she shifts into the Ditta. "AHAAAA! MOVE!!!"

Ditta stood to her feet while a clone stood before her.

Ditta two helped Ditta set up before hurling her over her head.

Echo Echo crashed into Ditta with her arms open. They crash to the ground before rolling to a stop.

They groaned. Ditta sits up from Echo Echo's as his tired eyes look up at Ditta's glaring ones.

"Get to Grandpa and Gwen. I can handle this."

"No. Way." Echo Echo looks past Ditta, and his eyes widen."Cover your ears!!! AHAAA!!!" Echo Echo uses a sonic scream to dodge Vilgax crash landing.

They roll for a bit while debris flies.

"You children are slippery like a fish." Vilgax stood to his feet while Ditta two stood by Ditta and Echo Echo.

They multiply to five each.

"But our numbers can give you a run for the money!" The clones charged.

Ditta 1 leaps as Vilgax swat her, but she set up from his forearm; over him. Echo Echo 2 and 1 scream pushing Vilgax back. Ditta 3, 4, and 5. pounce on his back, punching while Vilgax stumbles to throw them off.

Echo Echo 3 and 4 and Ditta 1 grab onto Vilgax's arms, multiplying two more, Stabilizing him.

----

Ditta and Echo Echo= 7 each

---

"Hold him steady!" Echo Echo 1 and 2 shouted.

"What do you think I'm doing?!" Echo's shouted.

"You better hope! I don't get deaf from this!!" Ditta's shouted, embracing the future pain.

"AAAAAAAAAH!!!" The sonic waves hit Vilgax and the others. Echo's were doing fine.

"THIS HURTS SO MUCH!!!" Ditta's screamed while their eyes slowly began to flicker. Vilgax took this opening and broke from the hold; black steel injects into his skin, bulking his muscles. Vilgax ground pound causing the fourth-teen to fly back hurt or daze.

"This is. Not a third of my power." Vilgax stated while watching the clones return to their primes, leaving Nova and unconscious Diamond head.

Vilgax approaches Diamondhead while Nova looks up at them.

"B-Ben." Nova's eyes widen while he grasps. He begins wheezing, falling onto his back while his flames begin to sizzle out.

He stared up at the cloudy sky, clinging to his life.

"The Omnitrix. Is finally in my grasp." Vilgax said while the environment grew black and white. And the clouds above came to a standstill.

Smoke escapes from Nova, wheezing.

"So, is this it?" A little girl appeared towering over him with a blank gaze. "You're giving up."

"Ja-Jane." Nova grasped before his shaking lips formed a smile.

"Don't Jane me." She said, glaring down at him. "You're my brother. That has to count as something. Right? The times when we're struggling, you do your best to provide like mom and dad. You did the impossible and came out on top. Why not now?"

"W-weak." Undescribable voices filled his head while his vision grew blue.

"You promise." A voice whispered in his ear.

"You hear that?" Jane cocked her head. "You're weak become you cracked the door. Stand up and fight."

Nova's eyes slowly close.

"Open the door." The voices whispered.

"Fight! Will!" Jane raised her voice while his heart slowed down.

"Let us help you."

"FIGHT!!"

Nova's vision becomes a blur before darkness takes him.

"Let us win for you." The whispers started before they grew silent.

"OPEN! THE DOOR!!!" Jane shrieks while Nova's eyes fly open, revealing his blue, glowing eyes.

"FIGHT!!!" FOR ME!!!" Nova booms while his flames touch the sky, gaining the attention of Vilgax.

Nova shared the appearance of Grid became Grid Nova.

Grid Nova hurled an army of fireballs at Vilgax's wake.

"I choose you. As my protector." A voice in GridNova's head stated.

His attack swarmed Vilgax leaving smoke where he stood.

GridNova zooms toward Vilgax, leaving flames in his trail.

They shift into a Red Riot, flying with his fist drawn back. Diamond climbed onto his body while his red eyes became a solid yellow.

Diamond Riot appeared in Vilgax's vision, forcing him to block the attack.

He slid back from Diamondhead.

"HAAA!!!" Diamond Riot rushes once more before they fist clash, cracks formed below them.

"Fascinating." Vilgax squinted his eyes while Diamond Riot electrified eyes stared daggered at his.

They threw another.

Vilgax and Diamond Riot's fists clashed before they began increasing power and speed, breaking the air around them. The cracks below them grow larger.

"Find the being. That created the Omnitrix. He'll tell what you want to know!" A voice chimed in Diamond Riot's head.

Vilgax's fist roared toward Diamond Riot, only for him to disappear and phased through Vilgax, that shivered.

He snapped back to Wild Canine, pouncing, sharing the eyes, skin color, and wings like Zero.

Wild Zero rolled Vilgax under his feet before pushing him into the sky. He opened his wings, flying after him.

Wild Zero stopped above him, shifting into Impulse, sharing Echo Echo's skin color, eyes, and white headphones that jacked into his throat.

"Let!" Pulse Echo takes a breath while color lines begin burning into his throat. "GO!!!" A color scheme wave crushed Vilgax deep into the mountain, which pushed Pulse Echo higher into the sky.

Pulse Echo height grew into A blue and red giant taking the skies.

"You're ego will be your downfall!!!" The giant named Way Big stomps onto Vilgax taking him deeper underground. He grinds his teeth. The ground burst from Behind Way Big. Vilgax delivered a nasty blow causing him to stumbled. "ROO!!!"

He crashes into the woods while Way Big body shrinks into Will with no shirt.

In his dying state, his white eyes stared up at the sky while Vilgax's ship flew overhead before his vision became black.

His eyes opened, revealing him standing by Cosmic Aliens like himself. Some go by an appearance like him. Others differ in gender, shape, and size.

A white light opened before them as his vision gazed at the Female Alien X standing at the sideline beside a being with a beard made of stars.

'Go. Virgo.' Her soothing voice entered his head.

'I won't forget this. Rudea.' Virgo stared back at the light before it took them whole.

-----

Ghost freak phase from the mountain looking around.

"I can't believe he has so many. What is this guy?" She noticed a wrecked RV(RustBucket). "Grandpa! Gwen!"

She searched, finding no one.

"Tennyson." Vilgax's voice called out to her.

Ghostfreak noticed Vilgax carrying Gwen and Max in the palms of his hands. He glares while Ghostfreak randomly shifts Wildmutt.

She roared.

"If you wish to continue, don't force my hand." Vilgax glares. WildMutt lowers her head while Vilgax approaches her, dropping Gwen and Max.

"Ben. Don't." Gwen called out weakly while Vilgax's metal finger glowed and touched the symbol on Wildmutt's shoulder, returning Benita to normal. He grabs her by her shirt and leaps into the ship.

"Vilgax, get out of there!" Max warned.

Vilgax ignores it while the ship takes off.

The alarm blare while red lights flash.

"Ship is undergoing self Destruct sequence! Everyone get to your pods!" The voice cried out from the coms.

"What?!" Vilgax drops Benita and races to the console. Electricity fly. "Blast!" He cussed while he heard a click.

A blue beam hits Vilgax's back.

He hits the wall and the debris above Vilgax crash on him.

"8"

Benita was aiming the cannon that Max used.

"I should ask Grandpa for one of these." Benita drops the gun before squinting her eyes. "And by the way. Go burn in hell." Her eyes shimmer purple before returning to green.

"7"

"Oh. Oh. Time to go!" She races to the hole. "Happy landing!!!" She leaps through the hole in the ship. "WHOOO!!! HOO!"

"TENNYSON!!" Vilgax roared before his scream became drowned by rushing air.

Benita scans her watch before slamming it, revealing HeatBlast.

The ship exploded from behind her while she dived faster to the ground. She flips, surfing on her flames.

HeatBlast dives and surfs her flames while Max and Gwen watch.

She crashed into the ground creating a crater around her.

HeatBlast times runs off, revealing Benita.

"Ben!" Max called with sweat raining down his head.

"Hey! Grandpa?" Benita raised a brow.

"We need to go! Now!" Max races off while Benita follows after.

"Hey, what do you mean? Grandpa? Why are you--" She slows down.

"Will. Get up." Gwen shakes the boy in tattered clothing in her arms. "Don't play around like this!" Her lip shakes. "Will!"

He was non-responsive as Benita stared blankly at the scene.

Ben. Ben! BEN!!!
