Chereads / Ben 10 and his Marvelous Adventures in the Universe 616 / Chapter 6 - Strategic Homeland...Whatever

Chapter 6 - Strategic Homeland...Whatever

Ben wakes up and finds himself in a glass chamber. He looks around himself and finds himself in a room. He sees there is a guy with an eye patch and the guy in the suit from earlier.

Ben: Where am I?

Guy with an eye patch: You are in a super strong, bulletproof glass chamber. Sorry, you are our prisoner since you were not willing to cooperate.

Ben tries to turn into Humungosaur but fails.

Ben: What the.. why can't I turn into…

Guy with an eye patch: Well you are surrounded by an electromagnetic field. So you can't use your device.

Ben: That's rubbish. The Omnitrix isn't affected by electric fields.

He tries a lot but can't turn.

Guy with an eye patch: So that's the name, Omnitrix. So how does it work?

Ben: What did you do to it? Why can't I turn?

Guy with an eye patch: We didn't do anything. When one of our agents shot you to electrify you, you turned back to normal and got knocked out. Based on that, we thought that maybe the device won't work in electric fields.

Ben: I think I have an answer for that. (Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. What is wrong with you Omnitrix? I upgraded you so much. And a blast damaged you completely. Aaaaaahhh.) Where am I? What do you want from me?

Guy with an eye patch: We want to know who are you? Where are you from? What is that device? How does it work? Why are you here? Etc.

Ben: And who are you guys?

Guy with an eye patch: My name is Nick Fury. I'm the director of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division.

Ben: The what now?

Nick Fury: It's a secret organization that has the responsibility to protect the planet from threats from the inside and the outside. Like you.

Ben: I'm no threat.

Nick Fury: Then why not prove it? Answer our questions.

Ben: Fine. I'm a human. I'm from a different universe, and accidentally got transferred here and am trying to live in peace. This is an alien device. It helps me to transform into any alien as long as its DNA is stored in it. Right now I'm trying to figure out a way to go back to my own universe. Till then I'm doing what I do back in my universe. Protect the planet.

Nick Fury: Wow. That is a lot to process and I would not have believed you but after seeing what you can do, it's not so hard. Plus this ain't my first Rodeo. So, yeah I believe you.

He unlocks Ben from the glass chamber.

Nick Fury: So you protect the planet back in your universe?

Ben: Yeah I'm a superhero.

Nick Fury: (Will he…?) Will you join us? Help us protect this planet from threats?

Ben: I would love to but I don't trust you. Give me some time. Till then let me go. I won't cause any harm. I haven't till now have I?

Nick Fury: Alright. But one more thing. We need your device to run some analysis on it.

Ben: I'm sorry but no. This stays with me.

Nick Fury: Alright. But you will be hearing from us.

Ben: From the strategic homeland… whatever.

Nick Fury: Yeah. We are working on it. Thinking of a smaller name or something.

Ben: Yeah you guys need that. And btw instead of a new name, try acronyms.

Nick Fury: Alright.

They release Ben. He then goes back home, locks his door, and screams for a minute.

Ben: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

What is wrong with you Omnitrix? I got caught by agents. Seriously? Vilgax, Maltruant, Khyber, alternate Bens, and you talking about agents? Hmm. I need to do something. The Omnitrix is damaged a lot. First of all, I need to stop it from locking down my aliens.

He opens the Omnitrix's settings and puts the Omnitrix on reboot.

Ben: There. Now it will reboot itself for a whole day. I hope it fixes it a little. I won't be able to use it for the next 24 hours but it's gonna be fine. This world is peaceful. Let's watch some news.

"Petroleum prices are higher than ever. People are…."

…switch…

"Tony Stark was rescued today and is being brought back from Afghanistan. Tomorrow we will have a gathering where he will answer our questions."

Ben: Alright. Nothing much. Just the same old news about prices and rich boys. Let's go to sleep now.
