Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Venger and Jen 10,000
"I've got the marshmallows," Gwen said with a smile.
"I've got the graham crackers," Ben said.
"And I've got the chocolate," Jen said with a smile as Max set up camp by a beautiful waterfall with a smile as Becky smiled from leaning against the side of the Rust Bucket with a smile.
About a week had passed since her return from the Null Void and she had gotten herself cleaned up since then. Her hair had now been cut and brushed into a nice straight low ponytail that reached to about halfway down her back. She now wore a red and black version of her sister's T-shirt with an image of a wolf on the front instead of a cat. She had black capris that reached down to her calves and red and black sneakers. She still had her leather belt from her days in the Null Void around her waist and her weapons were housed in the Rust Bucket.
"We'll wait here for you to get the firewood so we can make s'mores," Becky said with a smile.
"It's so nice to finally see you and Ben getting along, Gwen," Max smiled as he walked away. "I'll be back in a jiffy."
"Great," they all said.
Max took his ax and walked off into the woods, leaving his grandchildren behind.
"Is he gone?" Jen asked.
"I think so," Becky said as they all turned to each other.
"This is all your fault!" they all shouted.
"Grandpa only turns 60 once!" Gwen shouted as Ben dug into the graham crackers before Jen groaned and blasted him to the ground with a pink energy blast. "I had his party totally wired!"
She then shoved her arm out, showing them the list that she had written as Ben and Jen winced.
"You chose his birthday wish?" Jen asked.
"And how is he supposed to make one without a cake that you were supposed to get!" Gwen shouted.
"No I wasn't," Ben said.
"I got the candles and plates," Becky sighed.
"I got the confetti and balloons," Jen said.
"And I got the soda," Gwen said. "You were supposed to get the cake, Ben!"
"Uh, excuse me, full time hero here," Ben said. "When do I have time to get some dumb old cake? Anyway, it's no big deal."
"For Grandpa, it is," Becky sighed as Allison came out of the RV with a smile as she took off her flour coated apron.
"I may not be a Tennyson, but I know what to do good," Allison said. "Good news, the cake just went into the oven."
"You were making it this whole time?" Jen asked.
"Nothing is more special than a homemade cake for your birthday," Allison said. "It should be ready in about 40 minutes."
"What do we do until then?" Jen asked as a portal suddenly opened up that was shaped like one of the charms of Bezel that twisted around as all of their hair started blowing around.
"Okay, this can't be good," Ben said.
Suddenly, a figure with a blue cape and green eyes flew out of the portal and glanced outwards as she then flew forwards and grabbed Gwen and Becky without haste.
"Gwen! Becky!" Jen shouted.
She and Ben then activated their Omni Suits and transformed into their XLR8 forms and she grabbed Allison on the way as they closed their visors nad rushed into the portal as it closed behind them.
Max then walked up with the firewood with a glance as he noticed his grandchildren and their friend were gone.
"Ben? Jen? Gwen? Becky? Where are you guys?"
The portal opened on the other side to what looked like a super futuristic city with a ton of hoverboards flying by and aliens and humans walking on every corner as the figure flew out with Gwen and Becky in tow as she glared.
Suddenly, some symbols on the figure's right arm started glowing yellow as the twins came rushing in as they tossed Allison towards her as she absorbed the metal from her bullet as she shouted and slammed into the figure, sending her sprawling to the ground, letting go of Gwen and Becky as they dropped into their cousins' arms as they lifted their visors as Allison dissolved her armor.
"Whoa," Jen said as she looked up. "Where are we?"
"Hey, Jen," a boy on a hoverboard said as they looked up to see him smiling. "Looking good." He blew her a kiss as he floated away.
"Hey, it's Jen 10K and her brother!" a young Firefly alien said as they looked up to see him and his friend flying by. "Keep up the awesome job! And try to be more peaceful, Ben."
The Pyrolampus and his friend flew away as they looked confused.
"I don't think it's 'where' we are that's the question, Jen," Becky said. "I think it's 'when' we are."
They then looked behind them and gasped in awe at a large statue of two familiar figures who were well-toned with a gauntlet-like device on each one's arm as they glanced.
"Heroes of heroes: Ben and Jen 10,000," Ben read. "Is that really us?"
"Looks like it," Allison said.
Suddenly, a powerful blast came from out of the statue as they gasped and ran away as the statue crumbled to the ground around them.
"More like 'was' you two," Gwen said, worried.
"Hey, Tennyson," a figure said as he stepped out to reveal a large rhino-like creature walking bipedal, wearing what seemed to be some kind of armor like device with a hollow blue energy cannon on his horn.
"Do we know you?" Jen asked.
"Prepare for my revenge!" he said as he got down on his hands and knees and charged up his horn, firing a giant blue blast from his horn as the group dived out of the way.
"Great," Becky said. "Of course I left all my weapons back in the Rust Bucket."
"Oh yeah?" Ben asked as he and his sister rushed forward, not noticing the Omnitrixes beeping down. "Well prepare to see why they call us heroes of-"
The Omnitrixes timed out as the twins immediately collided with the rhino, groaning as they hit the ground.
"Maybe we can talk about this?" Jen whimpered.
"Kemo Char!"
Suddenly, a golden blast of light hit the beast as the figure from before was revealed to have her hand smoking as they heard another shout from the ground as another figure with black hair in a ponytail and grey and black armor came rushing up and shoulder charged him before morphing her arms into blades as she engaged the rhino in hand-to-hand combat.
"It's over, Exo-Skull! Surrender!"
"Never!" he said as she sighed.
"Fine. Becky, now!"
"Becky?" Gwen asked, looking towards her sister.
They finally heard a battle cry coming from above as another figure wearing red armor ran in, wielding a large energy spear as she ran up and whacked Exo-Skull away with it before taking something from her belt before flicking her wrist, revealing it to be a bow as she took some arrows from her quiver and fired them into Exo-Skull, sending him sprawling outwards towards the rubble of the statue.
"That takes care of that," the figure said.
"Not quite!" Exo-Skull said as he fired his cannon at the three figures.
The blue-figure crossed her arms, enveloping them in a forcefield as they withstood the blast with a glare.
Exo-Skull then fired a yellow device from his horn, which was revealed to be an energy net that then split in three and trapped the three mysterious women, shocking them hard with a glare.
"You can't stop me now!" he said as he aimed towards the kids.
"Run!" Allison said as they ran away from the blasts that were fired towards them.
Suddenly, a blue and red figure came running in hard towards them and smashed hard against the cyborg rhino, smashing hard into him, cutting deep with every hit as the kids could only watch as the figure sliced off Exo-Skull's horn with a glare as they all looked as a hard tornado whirled around the rhino, hitting him at every turn.
Exo-Skull then had several hard dents in his figure as well as blood leaking out from every corner of his skull. Suddenly, he completely fell apart, leaving everyone else stunned as the figure then stopped to reveal himself to be XLR8, completely with the Omnitrix symbol but something was different about him. His armor was more bulky and vicious, almost resembling the Ebony Armor from Skyrim.
The kids looked absolutely horrified a the sight as Ben's eyes briefly rolled back into his head and he fell back into his sister's arms as she gasped.
"Ben!" she said as she lit her hands up in pink energy and waved them over his heart, pressing down on him before she laid her mouth on his and blew hard as she sighed and continued that as he groaned and sat up.
"You know CPR?" Allison asked, raising her eyebrow.
"I watch a lot of movies, Allison," Jen said.
Becky was less shocked at that as Allison and Gwen looked like they were about to puke.
"What just happened?!" Allison asked as Jen worriedly tried to resuscitate her brother before he finally woke up.
"That was just an awful sight for me," Ben said. "Did I just kill someone?"
"You killed that giant tick back at Yellowstone Park," Jen reminded.
"That was just a giant parasite trying to destroy the Earth!" Ben reminded. "It wasn't a person! I would never kill someone and neither would you!"
"Is that XLR8?" Becky asked as the three figures came in as XLR8 glared at them.
"That's Sonic Boom to you, young lady," he said as the three women glared outwards. His visor glowed blue as he scanned the remains of Exo-Skull. "Looks like the work of Animo. I knew I should've killed him when I had the chance."
"You know that Jen is going to go ballistic over this, Ben," the red figure said.
"It's Venger and you know it!" he protested. "And as for you, Gwendolyn, how dare you bring our younger selves here!"
"They're needed in this time period, Ben," the blue figure said. "We're just trying to help you. You can't kill every criminal you come across."
"Criminals are murderous scum who want nothing more than to destroy all that's good in the world. And you know it. That's what happened to Grandpa Max, no? Now send them back or I'll use the Conductoid form to absorb all of your mana!"
He then turned to the younger Ben and Jen who looked on not in awe, but fear.
"You're me? But I would never kill someone like that. And especially not so brutally," Ben said.
"When you get the pain that happens to your family, you'll change your moral code," Sonic Boom reassured him. "And your sister will try to stop you to no avail."
He then closed his visor and sped off, much to the discomfort of the kids as they looked on in awe.
"Are you sure that's still your cousin in there?" the black figure asked.
"Yep," the red figure said. "That's definitely him."
"Wrong," a voice said from above as they looked to see a bird-like creature swoop in with a glare.
She was a harpy-like alien with golden feathers all over her body except for her hands and feet, which were scaled with small white talons claws poking out of her hands and her feet were completely bird-like with sharp talons. She had large golden wings on her back and pointed feathered ears as well as a small sharp beak for her nose and mouth as well as bright golden eyes. She wore a pink jumpsuit that had the Omnitrix symbol on the belt as she glared.
"That monster isn't the brother I grew up with," she said.
"Whoa," Jen said. "You're me!"
"Unfortunately," she said as she morphed back into her human form as she sighed.
The Future Jen looked so much more older and wiser than her younger counterpart. She had small pink hoop earings around her ears and they could sense that her body just reeked of pure magical power and aura. Her Omni Suit looked so much more powerful than it had before in her younger days and it had sockets for weapons on her gauntlets as well as weapons holstered in her utility belt around her waist. She glared as she glanced at the absolutely mutilated corpse that was Exo-Skull.
"He must be brought to justice," Jen 10,000 said as her eyes glowed pink and she kneeled down as her hand glowed pink as she glared. "I know that he's going after Animo next. I'll run a DNA scan back at headquarters."
"Did you say headquarters?" Jen 10 asked as her eyes went wide. "I have my own headquarters!"
"This doesn't concern you guys. There's far too much at stakes. I can't risk having our past selves getting caught in the crossfire."
She then sighed as she stood up and morphed into her own XLR8 form, which was now much more slender with her breastbones clearly visible and had much stronger armor than her previous self as she stood up.
"You could lose the attitude, you know," Gwen and the blue figure said as they glanced at each other.
"Wait, are you... me?" Gwen asked as the blue figure nodded and removed her hood. "You're Gwen?"
"Actually, I've been going by Gwendolyn since college," Gwendolyn said, kneeling down to her past self.
Gwendolyn had silver hoop earrings and was clearly much wiser than her past self, having knowledge well beyond her years.
"College?" Gwen asked, her eyes glowing brightly. "Ivy League?! Do I have a masters?!"
"So I guess we know what that makes you two, huh?" Allison asked as the red and black figures removed their helmets to reveal themselves to be the future Becky and Allison as they nodded.
The future Becky basically looked so much like her 10-year old self, but with a scar running down her left eye and bags under her eyes, clearly showing her years of experience in battle.
The future Allison had her hair much longer than before, styled in to a low ponytail as well as black ear piercings on her ears as well as her lip pierced with a silver ring as well as dark eyeshadow around her eyes as she sighed.
"Listen, Gwen," the future Becky said. "Gwendolyn here didn't bring you guys here so you could find about about your futures. She came back to bring the twins."
"What?" Ben asked as his sister could only look on.
"So why nab us?" Becky asked.
"I remember that Ben's listening skills sort of stunk," Gwendolyn smiled. "I knew that grabbing you two was the only way that they'd come along. Although I'll admit, I didn't expect Allison to come along too."
"What can I say?" Allison asked with a shrug. "I'm a team player."
"So time travel's no big deal now?" Gwen asked.
"Nope," Gwendolyn said. "You just need the right spell to create the right kind of portal."
"I know magic?!" Gwen shouted. "How wicked is that?! What else do I know how to do? Did I ever get my black belt?"
"Hello!" Ben shouted, clearly annoyed. "This isn't about you, Gwen. This is about us."
"He's right," Future Allison said.
"Tell me I didn't grow up to start agreeing with Mr. Dweeb all the time?" Gwen said.
"Ben 10,000... or rather Venger and his sister need their help," Future Becky said.
"We seem pretty tough," Jen said. "What could a cool superhero like us need anyway. But Ben... what happened to him to make him become that violent?"
"Your future selves may have mastered the secrets of the Omnitrixes, but that still doesn't make them prepared for everything," Gwendolyn said with a nod. "What's happening with Ben is a crisis that not even Jen 10,000 can solve alone."
That was when the cat symbol on Gwendolyn's belt started ringing out.
"Danger alert in Sector 15-D."
"What's in Sector 15-D?" Allison asked.
"Fort DNA-X," Future Allison explained. "Earth's massive genetic depository with DNA samples from all across the galaxy."
"Dr. Animo," Jen 10 realized. "That's the crisis, right? That's why we're here?"
"He made that robot rhino thing and now he's trying to do something else with the DNA samples," he said. "It's time to give the doctor a double dose of Omni Twin medicine."
"The Omni Twins are no more," Future Becky sighed. "Ever since Ben went rogue."
"Oh man," Jen 10 said as she and her brother stepped back. "I guess it still couldn't hurt to help though. We'll give us a lift."
Unfortunately, the Omnitrixes were still recharging at that point, causing the twins to groan out.
"Can't these things charge any faster in the future?!" Ben 10 shouted.
"Relax guys. I got this," Future Becky said as she took a key out of her pocket and a ringing came from close by them as the familiar figure of the Rust Bucket rolled up, looking no different than it had 20 years ago.
"The Rust Bucket?" Becky asked as her future self nodded. "Grandpa Max is going to leave it to me?"
"Indeed," Future Allison said with a smile. "It was the first thing in his will to you."
That was when the future sisters immediately cleared their throats and crossed their arms across their throats and shook their heads as their past sselves looked on disappointedly.
"Wait, did I say that out loud? ...Oops," Future Allison sighed as they sighed.
"Will?" Gwen asked. "Grandpa Max is... dead?"
"In this timeline, yes," Gwendolyn said as she wiped her eyes as tears threatened to leak out of them. "He died about five years ago in battle. But we'll save the finer details for Jen 10,000 to tell you guys. That was the deal we made when I brought you guys back with me."
"Sorry to hear about that," Allison said as she bowed her head as she nudged her future self. "Hey, do I get my culinary degree in the future?"
"Why spoil the surprise?" her future self said with a wink, causing Allison to groan.
"Let's just get down to businesss," Future Becky said as she and the others entered the Rust Bucket, which was now leaden with high-tech machinery and computers, earning the admiration of the past team as they gasped.
"Whoa! It's all teched out!" the Tennyson kids said in unison.
"You ain't seen nothing yet, kids," Future Allison said as she and her friend sat dwon as Future Becky engaged the controls with a smile.
Outside, the Rust Bucket engaged its fins and bumper outwards in front and back as the back revealed its rocket thrusters and the roof revealed two more fins as wings came out of the sides and the RV started to levitate off the ground as the tires pulled up inside of it and it shot off towards its destination.
"Whoa!" Ben 10 said as they looked out as Becky drove the Rust Bucket jet through the area and the present gang all looked out to see the sights of the futuristic city beforehand.
"Where do I sleep?" Jen asked.
"In your nice fancy headquarters. Duh," Gwendolyn said.
"You're too good to be hanging out with us anymore," Future Allison said. "Guess you just have... more important priorities."
"Allison, that's not me. I always put my friends and family first," she said.
"You're right. It's not you," Future Becky said. "But if you're not careful, it will be."'
Meanwhile, Jen 10,000 as XLR8 came rushing up on a building as she transformed back to her human form.
"So, they're here to help me, huh?" she asked. "Fine. I need all the help I can get to pacify my brother."
That was when she heard a ringing from her left wrist as she quickly slammed the Omnitrix symbol on her Omni Suit, deactivating it, revealing her new attire. She had a pink short-sleeved shirt with a ten going down the middle with a white stripe surrounding it and blue and black cargo pants with her Omnitrix gauntlet on her right wrist and a familiar pink bracelet on her left wrist. She also had tattoos of several battle themed designs on her arms and combat boots on her feet.
She then stuck out her bracelet and activated it, revealing a holographic projection of a familiar white alicorn as she sighed.
"Princess Celestia," she said as she bowed before her. "Jen Tennyson reporting for duty."
"At ease, soldier," Celestia said as Jen stood to attention before her superior. "How long has it been since you joined the Protectors, Jennifer?"
"Five years, Princess. About a few months after Vilgax killed me and Ben's grandfather," she said as she felt at her stomach with a groan. "And when he rendered me sterile."
"Indeed," Celestia said. "And now your brother has gone on revenge on all the criminals in the galaxy for them. What is your mission?"'
"To bring Ben, or Venger, to justice on the Mystic Isles so he can stand trial for what he's done. But I don't know what to feel about having to fight my own brother."
"Jen," Celestia sighed over her enchantlet. "I know that you take pride in your protective spirit with your brother. And I wholeheartedly respect that. But you're a Protector. Your duty is to preserve peace in the galaxy however you can. And if that means that you have to defeat your brother and bring him to justice, so be it. I wish there was another way, but there isn't."
"I know," Jen 10,000 said. "It doesn't mean I have to like it though."
"I'm sending Scarlett your way to assist you in battling your brother."
"Scarlett?" Jen 10,000 asked. "But she-"
"Is more than willing to fight him and do what it takes to help the Protectors. You clearly need her help."
"Fine," Jen 10,000 said with a groan. "But neither of us gives orders to the other. We just assist the other in any areas necessary."
"Deal," Celestia said. "And if Drake Flame or Time Patrol wish to meddle in our affairs, we're more than willing to roll with the punches. Me, Hippolyta and Pink Diamond have a meeting with Supreme Kai of Time in three days time. We'll straighten out everything then."
"Good luck," Jen 10,000 said. "Jen out."
She then transformed into Battlefly and flew off towards Fort DNA-X.
At said containment facility, the group arrived as Future Becky put the Rust Bucket in park once they arrived.
"We're here," she said as the group filed out of the RV and looked up at the massive sight before them.
"Okay," Ben smiled. "Time to go Four Arms and show my future sister where it all began!"
He then slammed the core of his Omnitrix down as he transformed into... Stinkfly.
"Yeah," Gwen smirked. "With you messing up again."
Stinkfly growled as Jen slammed her Omnitrix down, transforming into Stinkbomb as she nodded at them.
The team then rushed into the fort, taking notice of the DNA samples lining the walls before an explosion rang out that sent the kids crashing to the ground, but their future selves immediately regained their footing as Venger flew out as Four Arms with a grunt as he glared, revealing his adult form.
He had grown sharper fangs that stuck out of his mouth as well as much bulkier armor with spikes on the front and powerful brass knuckles on all four of his arms as he glared outwards as Jen 10,000 as Battlefly flew in from the door with a glare as she transfomred into Firefly with a glare.
Her form was more pronounced and toned in muscle and the Omnitrix symbol was now on her chest with her crown figure more prominent on her head as she glared outwards at her brother with a sigh.
"Hey, I was going to go Four Arms too," Stinkfly said. "Great minds think alike, huh?"
"I don't think so," Four Arms glared. "Now go!"
That was when a DNA pod flew in and landed at the group's feet and the future version of Dr. Animo revealed himself. All that remained of his previous body was his head, which was held in a dome of water and it was attached to the body of an albino gorilla. His body had white fur with purple skin with giant claws on his feet. He had one big eye with a scar running down it. He also still had his pale green skin and white hair with black eyes.
"No one's going anywhere!"
"Animo!" Firefly exclaimed.
"I see that you and your team have brought some help," Animo said. "That's good. You're going to need it! For every one of your 10,000 heroes, I have enough DNA to create 10,000 monstrous minions!"
"Oh yeah?" Stinkfly asked as he flew in as his sister glared as well. "Think again!"
He then flew towards Animo, ready to give a punch, but not before Animo simply swatted him aside into his future counterpart, sending them both flying backwards.
Gwendolyn then flew in and rolled up her sleeves, revealing on her left arm, she now sported tattoos of the brown symbols of the Charms of Bezel surrounded by a red background that glowed as she powered up her magic.
"No way," Becky said as she turned to her sister. "You have tattoos?"
"No... but I guess I will one day. Man, Mom and Dad are going to kill me."
"Kemo Char!"
Gewndolyn shot her hands out, sending out a golden blast that Animo immediately blocked by picking up a section of the floor, sending the blast back at her. Gwendolyn quickly created a force shield around herself to protect herself as the blast collided, knocking her to the floor.
While Animo was distracted, Future Becky immediately ran in and gave out a shout of effort as she unsheathed her spear and immediately got to use in combat as she ducked under animo's blows and shouted out a powerful effort as she stabbed and swiped with her spear, showcasing her powerful strength and martial arts skills with a shout.
But Animo was ready for her. He grabbed his spear and she got a look of fear on her face.
"Uh-oh," she whimpered as Animo judo-tossed her into the wall away and she groaned outwards as she slumped downwards.
"Bad idea, freak!" Future Allison shouted as she absorbed the metal from the floor and immediately shouted as she charged at him, morphing her right arm into a mace and her left arm into a hammer that she immediately used to pound on Aniom's body, doing a bit of damage as she shouted out in effort as she ducked under his blows and landed a powerful kick as she leaped up and attempted to pound on his dome head as she glared, but he immediately caught her and tossed her into Future Becky as she recovered and they both slumped down on the floor, Future Allison's armor dissolving.
"This... is not good," Firefly said as she immediately morphed back to human form and stuck her hands out, using her telekinesis to wrap two pipes around the present twins't tails, trapping them.
"Hey!" Stinkbomb shouted.
"Stay out of our way!" Four Arms said as he immediately charged Animo, fury plain in his eyes as he ran forwards.
"Hey! You can't... I mean, I can't talk to me like that!" Stinkfly protested.
"Sorry, me," Jen 10,000 said as she stood up and transformed into her own female Heatblast form. "He's right. If Animo bumps off you, our past selves, we'll pop right out of existence and the entire future as we know it will suffer immensely for it."
She then rushed in and fired out a massive blast of heat that Animo blocked with his powerful arms as Four Arms ran in and the pair of brutes laid powerful blows against one another as Gwendolyn recovered and walked towards her teammates past selves as they could only look helplessly as the action went on.
"Should we help them?" Allison asked.
"Nope," Gwendolyn said. "They prefer it this way."
As the action went on, Animo seemed to overpower Four Arms, but he immediatley morphed into another alien.
He was a green, bulbous alien. He resembles a puffer fish. He has 3 spikes sticking out the top and bottom of his head. His mouth covers mostly the upper front of him, which is filled with dull colored, pointed teeth. His eyes are connected to the corners of his lips. He has arms with four-fingered hands, short, stubby legs and a long tail. Spitter wears black pants that partly covers his stomach and has the Omnitrix symbol on the black pants.
His body immediately inflated as he spat out green slime that sent Animo flying off of him as he groaned outwards and hit the ground.
Heatblast immediately ran in and transformed into Diamondhead as she struck the ground, sending off a flurry of crystals at Animo before they created a pillar beneath him that he immediately broke through.
He then shouted out as he grabbed the claw from the crane that grabs the DNA pods as he then slammed it down on Diamondhead with a grin.
He then suddenly gasped as he saw her crawl up as a new alien. She had golden yellow skins, light blue eyes that glowed with an electrical aura, spiky pure white hair with silver metallic demon-like horns growing from the sides, a long tail with a spear-like tip, and deep orange thunderbolt markings on her arms and legs. She had the Omnitrix symbol on her chest.
She then gave out a small giggle with a smile as she brought her hands down on the claw and shocked the ever-living hell out of Animo as he dropped the claw.
"Aw, what's the matter, monkey?" she asked with a cheerful smile as she leaped off and whipped her tail onto him and gave out a smile as she backflipped away and he brought his fists down, but she generated an electrical barrier from her horns as she smiled. "Can't handle a little Discharge, can you?"
That was when Ben came flying in as Cannonbolt as he unfurled and landed next to his sister as she smirked wickedly as he was sent flying and destroyed a DNA Pod as he landed near it, causing it to leak fluid as the others could only watch on in awe.
"Whoa," Stinkbomb said while trying to free her tail. "We rock."
"What do you call that other guy? Loogie man? Spitter?" Stinkfly asked.
"It's none of your business!" Cannonbolt said as he transformed into another form. He was about 12 feet tall and had hard, brown, scales covering his hide and a sort of beige color on his belly and he had a somewhat humanoid body. He wore black and green armor that had green plates with spikes on his shoulders and tail as well as the Omnitrix symbol on his chest as he cracked his knuckles.
He then roared outwards and prepared to punch Animo in the head to finish him off as he braced himself, but then he found that he was being held back as Discharge transformed back to her human form and used her telekinesis as she wrapped the cables from the destroyed pod around her villain as she glared outwards at him.
"Get out of the way, Jen!" Venger said.
"No!" Jen 10,000 said. "I won't let you kill one more soul, Ben! You even killed Hope just because she defended her family! The villains we face are people too and they have their own loved ones and families despite the things they do!"
"They're all the same!" Venger glared outwards. "It's because of them that you were crippled!"
"Crippled?" Stinkbomb asked with a whimper.
"Be that as it may, you can't slaughter these guys like any villain or dictator would," Jen 10,000 said. "You're just like Vilgax, Venger!"
Venger immediately grew incredibly pissed at that as he shouted out as he transformed into XLR8 and rushed off as Jen 10,000 glared after him.
"He'll be back," she said. "And we'll pacify him next time."
She then turned as Gwendolyn helped her sister and Future Allison up to their feet as they heard a voice cry out.
"Did we here a cry for help?" they heard as some old friends materialized in front of them. "The Galactic Enforcers have arrived!"
"The Galactic Enforcers?" Allison asked as Ultimos nodded.
"Hello, old friends," he said to their past selves. "We meet again."
"Hi, Ultimos," Stinkbomb said as Synaptak noticed their new companion. "And it seems you have a new friend."
"Family, actually," Gwen said as she motioned to her sister. "This is my sister Becky."
"Charmed," Becky said with a nod.
Jen 10,000 then transformed into her XLR8 form and nodded. "Sorry, show's over, guys."
"It's a big world out there, Jen," Ultimos said. "With your brother on the run, you could always leave some of the bad guys to us, you know. We could be great help with dealing with your brother."
"What would be the point?" XLR8 asked. "...But since you're here, you can bring Animo back to the Null Void chamber for me."
"Yeah, sure. Anything to help," Tini said as XLR8 zoomed off.
Stinkfly and Stinkbomb still squirmed as they were caught in place, but the Omnitrixes timed out, leaving them human again as XLR8 zoomed by and caught them in her grasp before Future Becky stopped her and tied a small cart to her tail as she immediately placed Gwen, Becky and Allison in the cart, leaving them with a sigh as she nodded.
"Gwendolyn, you and the others meet me back at headquarters."
"Will do, cuz," Gwendolyn said as XLR8 rushed off with the kids in tow as the Galactic Enforcers nodded.
"You know she's going to have to tell them everything that happened to her and her brother, right?" Future Becky asked.
"I know, sis," Gwendolyn said with a sigh as she bowed her head.
She then positioned her hands together and opened a portal up as they all walked through it, leaving the Galactic Enforcers to their business.
The Galactic Enforcers sighed as they went to Animo with a glare.
"Guess you got me now," he said. "There's nothing I can do."
"You got that right, punk," Tini said.
"So Animo's been around this whole time?" Jen 10 asked her future self as she ran forward towards her headquarters.
"He escaped a few years back," XLR8 said. "I wasn't sure if he was going to show his ugly face again. But now it looks like he won't be a problem anymore."
"What about Vilgax?" Gwen asked.
"Yeah, he was the toughest villain we ever faced," Allison said.
"...I really don't want to talk about it. It wasn't a pretty day for anyone then."
"Whoa," Ben 10 said. "What did I do?"
They finally sotpped as they reached their destination next to Mt. Rushmore and Jen 10 looked around at her HQ in awe as Jen 10,000 transformed back to normal and took off her helmet as she walked over to her kitchen where she took out a shotglass and poured herself a quick shot of vodka, which she quickly took down the hatch.
"Whoa," Jen 10 said. "This is my headquarters? This is awesome! I must chill out here a lot."
"I don't think so," Jen 10,000 said. "There's no time. I'm always patrolling the planet and the multiverse as part of my duties. I'm a member of a secret multiverse-wide organization, thus I have no need to 'hang out.'"
"Okay, did you seriously just say 'thus?'" Ben 10 asked his sister as she shuddered. "Don't you have any fun anymore?"
That was before he qiuckly dodged a pink energy blast from his future sister as she walked over to him with a smoking hand that she quickly shook off.
"You'll learn soon enough, Ben. Being me isn't about having fun. Now wait here for the others and don't touch a thing."
She then created energy platforms beneath her feet as she walked over to her computer with a sigh as she shook her head.
Ben 10 immediately took notice and saw his old hoverboard next to Jen's as she sighed.
"Whoa," he said. "Check this out."
"He said not to touch anything, cuz," Becky said with a scoff.
"Why should I listen to my future sister? None of you do anyway," he said as he released the hoverboard and immediately got on it and flew around the area and whooped around as Jen 10,000 could only sigh as the portal opened on the other side and Gwendolyn, Future Becky and Future Allison stepped out.
"Get off that board, now," Jen 10,000 said.
"Why? You don't even smile at my pranks anymore?" Ben 10 asked. "Want to race?"
Jen 10,000 stuck out her hand, activating her telekinesis as she flew forwards with a glare. "No!"
Ben then immediately glared as he fell to the floor as his family and friend walked up to him.
"Okay, that's it. We want answers," Jen 10 said.
"We want to know everything," Allison said. "What is Venger?"
"How did he get to be this way?" Becky asked.
"We're not going to stop until you tell us," Gwen said with a glare as Gwendolyn sighed as she hovered down to Jen 10,000's spot.
"They have a right to know, Jen," she said.
Jen 10,000 sighed as she bowed her head. "Okay, you win. I'll tell you."
She then began her story with a sigh. "It all happened about five years ago. After Grandpa Max stepped down, Ben and I were appointed the leaders of the Plumbers. For awhile life was good, we were having a great time as the heroes that the universe deserved. But then, one day, we were attacked by Vilgax. By that time, we had assembled a massive force of mighty warriors from across the universe."
#Flashback#
"We battled for months without sleep," Jen 10,000 said.
Jen 10,000 as Heatblast fought alongside her brother as a Four Arms, mowing down Vilgax's forces.
"Though we fought valliantly, we were no match for the endless swarm of soldiers. But we refused to give up."
Four Arms wielded a mighty green axe as he fought and blasted an entire wave of Vilga'xs soldiers away as she glared.
Vilgax suddenly appeared and grabbed Heatblast's arm with a glare as he punched her Omnitrix symbol, turning her back as she glared at him.
"I was eventually caught by Vilgax and then, I paid the ultimate price."
He then unsheathed his massive claws and raked it across her abdomen with a mighty swipe as she screamed out in massive pain as she leaked blood on the battlefield as Gwendolyn immediately ran to her side and started working her magic on her as Max glared at her with a shout as he aimed his massive weapons at her, which he dodged and glared as he aimed his blade at his old nemesis.
"We were overrun," Jen 10,000 explained. "We were defeated."
"Go ahead," Max said. "Get your revenge on me."
"With pleasure, Tennyson. It was a pleasure knowing you," he said with a glare as he aimed his weapon outwards and raked it off as the camera cut away as Four Arms looked horrified.
"NOOOOOO!" he protested as Max's body fell to the floor.
"Upon my massive injury and Grandpa Max being killed right in front of him... it was just too much."
"You are going to pay for this... with your life!" Four Arms glared as he wielded his powerful axe and charged through the area as he shouted outwards and leaped up powerfully as Jen and Gwendolyn could only look on in horror an he shouted outwards and brought it down on Vilgax.
"And thus, Ben 10,000 was dead... and Venger was born," Jen 10,000 said as tears filled his eyes. "My injury at the hands of Vilgax was incredibly crippling. I had received major damage to my abdomen. The doctors said that I would heal, but at a price... I could never have children."
"Oh man," Ben said as he started hperventilating and stumbled backwards as tears immediately sprung to the other kids eyes as they all started sobbing and hugged Jen 10,000 in their dearest symapthies.
"You're kidding," Becky said.
"No, I wish," Jen 10,000 said with a sigh. "Venger has killed several of our villains over the years... including those who have tried to defend others."
"Charmcaster," Gwen realized as she nodded.
"Yes," she said. "At that point, I had fainted in Gwendolyn's arms as the battle continued around us and Allison and Becky had fled for reinforcements. When I awoke, I was alone. Every Plumber in my brigade was gone. I was the last of my squad. The last of the Plumbers."
"Until you found out we were still alive," Future Becky reminded her before Future Allison jabbed her in the arm, bruising her as she missed the point.
"I had failed the Plumbers... my team... my family."
Everyone in the room had tears in their eyes, even the normally stoic Allison was practically bawling at the story as Jen 10,000 bowed her head and finished.
"I vowed never to let anyone else risk their lives by fighting by my side again," Jen 10,000 murmured. "That is my story."
"That's the saddest story I've ever heard," Allison said in tears as she walked up and hugged the future version of her best friend tightly and Jen 10,000 hugged her back.
"I can't believe it," Ben 10 said as he continually hyperventilated and stumbled backwards into one of the walls, which immediatley disengaged as a hatch opened in it, revealing what appeared to be a frozen corpse. It was what appeared to be a red-clothed and white-haired version of Ben, who was severely burned to a crisp and showing no signs of life.
"What the?" Jen 10 asked as they all walked towards the corpse as Ben looked like he was about to puke at the sight as Jen 10,000 nodded.
"Who is that?" Allison asked.
"That is Albedo," Future Allison explained. "He was a Galvan scientist that attempted to re-create the Omnitrix, but at a price. Ben's DNA is encoded as the default in his Omnitrix."
"So that means that my DNA is the default in mine as well," Jen 10 said, looking at her Omnitrix.
"Precisely," Future Becky said. "Any future Omnitrixes would synchronize across space and time with yours, which makes you their defaults as well. He wanted Ben's Omnitrix to change back to his original, but became the prisoner of Azmuth, the creator of the Omnitrix. He was eventually sent to retrieve the Omnitrix from Venger, but he wasn't having it."
Adult Becky went to Ben and slipped some medicine from her pouch and gave it to Ben 10 as he gasped and sighed as his future cousin comforted him.
"What did he do?"
"He murdered him. Since he's the default, even the replica responds to his commands. He ordered it to self-destruct in 30 seconds, killing Albedo instantly. I kept his corpse as a reminder of what my brother has become," Jen 10,000 said as she welled up with tears and started crying as did her brother's past self.
"I can't believe this!" he said, his voice breaking as he sobbed. "I'm going to be a supervillain! I don't want the Omnitrix anymore if this is my fate! I don't deserve it!"
Gwendolyn then hovered over to Ben 10 and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Ben, that's why we brought you here. We need your help. Ben 10,000 is still in there somewhere and we need to save him."
"Danger alert in Sector 1A-Centric!" The Headquarters' A.I. alarmed as Jen 10,000 immediately snapped back to attention as did Ben 10 as they all looked up.
"What's down there?" Jen 10 asked.
"That's my business, not yours'," Jen 10,000 said as she transformed into XLR8 and nodded to the others. "Gwendolyn, get a portal open and get them home."
"You need them," Gwendolyn said with a shake of her head as her cousin zoomed off.
"We're not going anywhere," Ben 10 said. "You brought us here to save your cousin and I bet he's going to be at Sector 1A Centric. Is it far away?"
"Actually, no," Future Becky said. "It's 61 stories below us."
Future Allison suddenly gasped in horror at the thought. "Oh no! The Null Void Chamber!"
At Sector 1A-Centric below Jen's HQ, a figure stood below as he typed in the controls on the Null Void Projector as he glared upwards.
He wore a silver mask which only showed amber eyes and wore a black cloak which covered his entire body as he nodded at his work.
Venger suddenly burst into the area as a Yautja and growled outwards at the Masked Villain as he glared.
"So, freeing someone from the Null Void, are we?" he asked as the masked villain smirked at his entrance and smiled.
"So, you're the famous Venger who everyone talks about? Well let's see if you're as good as everyone says you are," he said as he charged in and shouted outwards as they fought each other.
Drake carelessly dodged each and every swipe of Venger's blades as he sliced upwards before he dodged and positioned his hands and fired out a blast of fire from his hands, which blasted Venger in the face as he morphed into Wildmutt and growled outwards as he tried to pounce him as he snapped his jaws as he had him on the ground and aimed for his neck, but he was ready.
The Masked Villain then dodged his bite nad immediately threw an energy kick towards him, knocking him off as he transformed into Heatblast and fired two fireballs at his opponent as he dodged and immediately fired his guns outwards and hit him in the gut with a super-powered punch as he immediately transformed into his Conductoid form and growled.
He had black skin, one eye in the middle of his head, two antennae and a tail that looks like plug on the end and the Omnitrix symbol on his chest with bulky armor as he stuck his plugs out and immediately absorbed the electrical energy from the energy blasts fired at him by the Masked Villain as he glared outwards and dodged as the blasts hit the Null Void Projector, firing it up as a portal started opening as Venger gasped as Jen 10,000 as XLR8 rushed in and gasped as she saw what was happening.
"I'll be seeing you," the Masked Villain said as he vanished from view as they gasped.
Suddenly, as he left, a figure in red gazed out from the corner of the room as she gasped and immediately pulled out her sword.
"No," she said as she unsheathed her sword and glared outwards as the portal immediately closed as a lone figure glared outwards. He was a skinnier figure with long black hair and had a black jumpsuit with black fingerless gloves and boots as he gasped out and immediately gasped as XLR8 and Venger gasped as they looked at the figure in awe.
"Kevin?" they asked as their old foe growled at the sight of them.
"So, Tennysons," he said. "Come free me to gloat after all these years?"
"We didn't free anybody," XLR8 said as she morphed into another form and hissed at the figure.
She was an anthropomorphic bat with grey fur and long bat ears on her head as well as long claws on her hands and large bat wings growing from her back as well as long sinewy membranes growing between her fingers and large furred talons on her feet. She wore a black and purple ninja suit with the symbol of the moon on her headband and the Omnitrix symbol on her belt. She then glared at her opponent with large misty eyes, indicating that this form was blind.
"Perhaps," Kevin said as he growled. "But even so, you have made a huge mistake."
He then growled outwards and focused as his form completely shifted, much to the future twins' horror as he morphed into an even more hideous form than his previous mutation as they gasped.
"No way!" Venger growled as the figure from before left as they gazed upwards at the horrific sight before them.
The mutated creature before them had the the torso structure of a the dinosaur creature from before but with Four Arms arm count. He had a black lower left arm with green energy flowing through it and his lower left arm was that of a giant brown apes with yellow and black bolts. HIs upper right arm was that of a Tetramand, but he had many Needle Mouse quills and his right arm had Diamond Head's shape but was made of completely black molten rock. His legs are mostly white with red accents and had the armor of Vilgax's species. His the pelvis are Arburian Pelarota shape with a white outline and three dots on the inside and he has the Null Guardian tails armed with 10 different elements: crystal, metal, electric, aquatic, nuclear, flame, ice, black ooz, rocks and sand. He has a large green crystal horn and the chest has his jaw was that of Ripjaws but in much larger size. He had Battlefly wings beneath the main wings, which were mostly Stinkfly's but one of which was black molten rock and his head was completely engulfed in flames but had Kevin's head's facial shape.
"Ben and Jen 10,000, meet Kevin 11,000!"
"Disgusting," Jen 10,000 said as she gave out a ninja cry as she flew forwards and performed several flips and kicks towards his massive form, doing absolutely no damage as she glared outwards as Venger glared towards her and shouted in effort as he transfomred into the form of Four arms as he shouted out and leaped towards him before he wrapped his tentacle around him and he shocked him to oblivion as he screamed out and he tossed him out of the area, crashing through several walls as he disappeared into the city wiht a scream of pain as Kevin 11,000 shouted out as he fired a heat beam and several energy rays at the anthro bat before her before she was surrounded by a pink forcefield around her as Kevin 11,000 was blasted by a golden blast of fire as Gwendolyn stood by, her tattoos glowing on her arm as she and the others arrived by her.
"We need to stop him! If he gets out of here, he could destroy the entire city!" she said as the Allisons could only gasp outwards at the sight of what their brother had/will become as the Beckys could only gag at the sight as Ben and Jen 10 glared as they hovered on their hoverboards.
"We're ready!" Ben 10 said as he transformed into... Upgrade. "Aw man!"
Jen 10 rolled her eyes as she activaed her Omnitrix and transformed into Water Lily with a glare as she dusted her hands off while Future Becky handed her younger self more upgraded versions of her weapons and Allison cracked her joints as she absorbed the metal from the floor as they all readied for battle with the future Kevin.
Jen 10,000 glared as she stood up and unleashed a massive screech from her mouth that immediately stunned Kevin 11,000 as the others inmmediately ran in and started charging.
The Beckys ran in first as Future Becky shouted and twirled her spear around and shouted outwards while dodging all of his swipes as she whacked him in the head with it before she ducked and twisted her spear into two swords and charged in before she was dealt a massive energy kick to the chest as she shouted out and was sent flying to the end of the room with a grunt.
"Okay, bro," Future Allison said as she formed her hands into blades as she scraped them across each other. "Let's see you try that with me!"
She then charged in with a determined look upon her face as she shouted out and dodged her brother's swipes and blasts with graceful agility as she got onto her back and gave him a whammy to the face as she sliced her blade upon his Tetramand arm, causing him to shout out in pain as he immediately shot out his quills at her, which impaled her clothes to the wall, causing her to groan out in defeat.
Gwendolyn then charged in and fired spell after spell at him as she charged outwards and fired a massive flamethrower as her tattoos glowed and she shouted out in effort, blasting Kevin 11,000 as he glared.
Ben and Jen 10 then immediately ran to Jen 10,000 as she fired water blasts at Kevin 11,000 and caused him to go flying backwards from the fire and water combo and she immediately squeaked outwards as she looked up at them.
"Get out of here," Jen 10,000 said.
"When are you going to get it through your thick skull, me?" Jen 10 asked. "I'm you! If this is your fight, it's my fight too."
"And I never abandon my sister in her time of need," Upgrade said as Jen 10,000 sighed.
"Then maybe this will help," she said as she pressed the Omnitrix symbols on the twins and they transformed into Cannonbolt and Firefly.
"Hey!" Cannonbolt said. "I don't have to go Ben anymore."
His exclamation suddenly caused him to fall over, causing his sister to sigh as Jen 10,000 transformed into Wildcat who had more of a ferocious and more muscualr state to her appearance as she snarled and charged forward as did Firefly and Cannonbolt towards Kevin 11,000 who was smacking around the others like ragdolls as they tried in vain to at least weaken him.
Meanwhile, back with Venger he crashed thorugh several buildings and immediately groaned and grunted out wtih each and every blast through the building before he finally landed on the ground in a huge crater as the masked villain from earlier appeared in a flash of light as he nodded at them.
He has short-spiky hair with bangs, amber eyes and one visible fang at the upper-right corner of his teeth. He has perfect muscular physique and is very handsome to women's perspective. He wore black tank top with the Omnitrix logo, brown leather pants with leather black boots and wears a green wristwatch that resembles the Omnitrix but it's not the Omnitrix.
"Hello, Venger," he said calmly. "Nice landing. I'd give it an 8."
"Very funny," he growled out as he knelt down to his level with a sigh.
"Perhaps this would be better if I introduced myself to you. Drake Flame, the Alpha Osmosian at your service," he said, sticking his hand out as Venger immediately looked confused before he shook his hand.
"Why are you so interested in me anyway?" Venger asked with a scoff.
"Because I understand the pain you feel. I've felt it before, twice actually," Drake said. "It's something we all go through. Your grandfather may be gone, but that doesn't mean that you allow it to change who you are."
Venger gasped at that and sat down in thought.
"Your sister was right," Drake said. "You may think that you're doing good by killing all of those who do wrong. But in doing so, you've become the very thing you hate."
Venger bowed his head in guilt as he remembered all of the good times he had when he was a child and all of the battles he had fought with his family by his side at every step of the way. He was a true hero and in one efll swoop, he had let it all slip through his fingers.
"You're right," Venger said. "What have I done?"
"You can still make things right, Ben," Drake said with a chuckle. "Go back. Defeat Kevin like a real hero would."
Venger nodded and transformed into his Sonic Boom form before shooting off like a missile as Drake nodded and left in a flash of light as another figure examined from the rooftops as she lowered her binoculars and nodded in confirmation.
"Pink Diamond, I'm in position," she said. "Venger has gone back to Jen's HQ."
"Go to her," Pink Diamond ordered as Scarlett nodded and transformed into phoenix before flying after him in a flash of fire.
Gwen was blasted back into her sister's arms as they both crashed on the floor as Cannonbolt slammed into Kevin 11,000 with a hard impact as he was sent flying before Wildcat pounced and snapped her jaws at him.
"It's no use," Kevin 11,000 said. "For every 10,000 of your forms, I have the perfect way to counter them. You don't stand a chance."
"That's where you're wrong, Kevin!" a familiar voice shouted from somewhere as a sonic flash came by and slammed into Kevin like a truck, sending him flying back as Gwendolyn fired a magic spell at him as Jen 10,000 transformed back to normal and hit her younger self's Omnitrix again, changing her into Blossom Rose as she slammed her hand down and conjured massive vines down and wrapped around Kevin's limbs as he struggled in her grasp as she gasped to see her brother come by and transform back into his human form, removing his helmet as he revealed his face, which looked tired with dark circles under his eyes and a short brown beard on his face as everyone in the room gasped.
"Venger," Jen 10,000 said, shocked.
"Please, sis," he said. "Call me Ben."
"You're back?" Future Allison asked as she struggled on the ground.
"Indeed," he said as he looked at all of them struggle. "You could use some help, it seems."
"You think?" Cannonbolt asked as Ben 10,000 nodded and closed his eyes as a flash of light came out, revealing him to be... looking no different.
"Is the Omnitrix broken?" Jen 10 asked.
"No," Future Allison said. "That's his Osmosian form."
He then looked at the Omnitrix symbol on his chest and energy sparked from his fingers as he absorbed the energy from it and gave out a shout of massive effort as his entire body glowed green and changed before their very eyes.
He had become a green being of living energy encased in a crystal-like body. He looked basically the same as before as she gasped.
"No way," Gwendolyn said in awe as everyone present looked around and saw that he looked to Kevin 11,000.
He then nodded as he thrust his hands out and gave out a massive burst of green energy that bathed Kevin 11,000 in energy as his features started to fade away as he was transformed back into human as he groaned and passed out before falling into his sister's arms as she sat down and laid his head on her lap.
"He'll be fine," Ben 10,000 reassured before he deactivated his transformation and fell to the floor in front of his sister as she looked down at him. "Jen, I'm so sorry for all that I've done. All the pain I've caused you. All of you."
"It's okay, bro," Jen 10,000 said as tears welled up in her eyes as she embraced him in a warm and loving hug. "I've already forgiven you. You're my brother and nothing will ever change that. Not even the things you do."
"But I can't forgive myself for what I've done," he said with a sigh as he typed in a few controls on his Omnitrix as it fell away from his arm, leaving it bare. He then handed it to his sister. "I don't deserve this anymore. Please, give it to someone who you feel is truly worthy. Ask them to carry on my legacy the way that Grandpa would have wanted."
"I will, Ben," she said with a sad nod. "I will."
"I hate to break up family reunions," said a voice close by as they looked to see Scarlett, looking no different than she had 20 years ago, standing close by on a wall by the hole as she walked up. "But we have business to uphold, old friend."
"Yes, Scarlett," Jen said as she stood up and deactivated her Omni Suit to show her enchantlet off.
"Do what you want with me," Ben 10,000 said as he held his hands up and sighed. "I'm all yours."
"Scarlett?" Jen 10 asked, surprised. "You haven't aged a day."
"Oh yeah, I never told you that, did I?" she said as she sighed. "I'm immortal. My grandmother was an Amazon and I inherited her immortality. I can live as long as I want as long as I'm not killed."
"Whoa," Ben 10 said as she nodded.
"It's both a blessing and a curse," she said. "While I remember all the good things that I've had and can do, the pain from the bad never goes away either."
Jen 10,000 nodded with a sigh as she looked up. "Benjamin Kirby Tennyson, you are under arrest on the charges of murder . You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in the court of the multiverse. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?"
"I do," Ben 10,00 said with a bow of his head.
"Take him away, Scarlett," Jen 10,000 said with tears in her eyes as Scarlett nodded and teleported away with Ben 10,000 in tow as Jen 10,000 stood there with his Omnitrix in hand with a sigh.
"It's not your fault, Jen," said a voice as they looked over and saw Drake Flame standing by the opposite wall as he looked and walked towards them, leaving Future Becky and Future Allison groaning as the kids looked confused. "Drake Flame, nice to meet you."
"You too," Ben 10 said as he looked to see Jen 10, Gwen and Becky literally drooling over how gorgeous Drake looked while Allison just stood there scoffing at him, not showing even the slightest interest at him as she blew her hair out of her face as he looked to Jen 10,000.
"He lost his way," he said. "Even the greatest heroes can be corrupted by hatred. Don't think it can't happen to you as well."
"I know," Jen 10,000 said, bowing her head.
"There are much worse monsters out there than Venger ever was," he said as he took a device out of his pocket and pressed a button as it showed two figures.
The first was a masculine entity donning a futuristic battle armor that closely resembles the Omni Suit but the gauntlets and boots are wider and have neon-purple light streak with a bulb in front while two on the sides of the ankles and his mask had violet streaks around the head, jagged-jaws mouthplate and have two neon-purple eyes glowing through the visor.
The second one had an incomplete, damaged ruby/black Omni Suit that left her arms, legs and head exposed. Her eyes are completely deranged looking, her lips are covered in blood and when she opens them and had sharp fangs poking out. Her hands have sharp claw-like nails as well as her feet. She doesn't have any Omnitrix but her body is flowing with crimson veins with the Omnitrix's base pattern on the right wrist.
The group all looked completely scared and horrified at the images before them.
"This is Ultimo the Destroyer and Savage Core," Drake explained. "They are two Omnitrix wielders who are wreaking major havoc all across the multiverse. They've already killed five other Omnitrix wielders all across the multiverse. One of which was my best friend, Benjamin the Golden Knight."
They all looked shocked as Jen 10,000 looked shocked.
"Who's to say that they won't come after us next?" Jen 10 asked horrified.
"We don't know," Drake said. "But when the time comes, you have to be ready. Or you will be history."
The present team all looked completely shocked and destroyed at that as Kevin groaned as he stirred awake.
"That's my cue. I'll see you again sooner than you think," Drake said as he vanished in a flash of light as they looked on.
"Allison?" Kevin asked as Future Allison rubbed his head.
"Hey, little bro," Future Allison said with a smile and a nod.
"Where's Ben?" he asked as Future Becky and Gwendolyn sighed as they looked down.
"Ben... Ben saved us. All of us," Future Becky said as the kids looked on and bowed their heads with sad looks in their eyes as Gwendolyn nodded and positioned her hands as the time portal opened back up with a sad sigh.
"Portal's ready," she said. "It's time for you to go home."
"Thanks for everything," Gwen said as the group all went to Jen 10,000 and hugged her with all their might as they sighed.
"See ya," Allison said as she walked through the portal, followed by Becky, Gwen and finally Ben as Jen looked with a sigh and a smile.
"...And I guess we're gonna be ya," she said with a nod.
"You don't have to be if you play your cards right," she said as her younger counterpart vanished through the portal as it closed behind her, leaving the team to recupperate from what had just happened.
"Ben? Jen? Gwen?" Max asked as he reappeared. "Anyone?"
That was when the portal opened back up and the kids then reappeared and landed in a heap by him as they groaned outwards.
"Huh?" Ben asked as he saw that they had arrived back at the same exact moment that they left.
"Grandpa!" Becky said as she, her sister and their cousins all ran up and hugged him harder than ever as Allison smiled and hugged him as well.
"...Surprise!" she said with a smile as they all hugged.
"How did you know it was my birthday?" she asked.
"How could we forget? You're our grandpa!" Gwen said as Allison smiled.
"The cake's not going to be ready for 30 more minutes, but there's no reason we can't celebrate!" she said as Ben and Jen turned back as sister comforted brother.
"You okay, bro?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm good," she said. "I'm just kind of scared. How did I end up becoming like Venger in the future?"
"You won't," Jen said. "I'm sure that what we saw today is going to inspire you to not become like him."
"You're right," he said. "I promise you that from this day forward, I will always protect you, Grandpa, Gwen and everyone else that I love. I will never become Venger and that is a promise."
"Glad to hear it," Jen said as sister and brother hugged and they joined in as Gwen went into the Rust Bucket to set up for their party.
A big thanks to LordOozaru23 in all his help making this chapter. Next time, we get back to basics.
