Chapter 236: Ben 10 (8)
~Third POV~
[Worldline: Prime Timeline]
[A few Weeks Later, United States, Earth]
In the United States, a news station helicopter following police cars chasing a speeding armored vehicle as the Reporter said in dire news, "We're live on the scene of a high-speed police pursuit of an armored car stolen earlier today from the federal reserve in Denver. It is believed the thieves also have a hostage."
*Vrooom*
The armored car speeds past the Mash as he waves his hand to reveal wearing an updated empowered Omnitrix. Suddenly, a large [Unseen Hand] grows out from the pavement, destroying the undercarriage of the car.
The effect made it spin and completely stop. The police cars surround the vehicle. One of the criminals gets out of the vehicle with the hostage, and the other holds a rather large rifle.
*Bang*
He aims his rifle at the police car and shoots it and it flies into the air, just after the police inside it goes out. Mash appears behind the thug as the Reporter says in a shocked tone, "Wait, what's this?"
The thug aims the rifle at Mash but before he can fire, he takes the rifle twisting it around with his strength, scaring him. Mash smiles. Grabbing rope from his [GoB] he traps the thug by wrapping him up at inhumane speeds.
Seeing this outer-worldly ability that no human has the Reporter assumes in a surprised tone, "Yes. It looks like we have another alien sighting."
The other thug walks closer to Mash with the hostage. Mash turns around using [Bloodlust] scaring the other thug stiff in fear pissing himself as he fainted. This scares the criminal and he surrenders as the Reporter says in a stunned tone, "We don't know where this strange man come from, but he seems to be here to help."
Mash simply waves his hand handing the thugs to the policeman as he thinks in a curious tone, 'I wonder if Squidward is getting the reading of my Omnitrix. Take the bait fishy…'

[Chimerian Hammer, Space]
On the Chimerian Hammer, Vilgax watches the broadcast from his rehabilitation chamber. Vilgax as he growls in a cautious tone, "The Omnitrix... wasted on pointless heroics! But his user managed to defeat the child…"
Vilgax within his chamber was cautious of the new wielder of the Omnitrix. His scans of the fight between the previous user and Mash put him on guard seeing their strengths leading him to increase his strength as he healed within his chamber.
Vilgax may be a villain. But he was a cautious and levelheaded one knowing the encounter as the Bioid spoke in a robotic tone, "Shall I dispatch more drones to retrieve it?"
Vilgax coldly responded in a deep tone, "No..."
His chamber opens. One of the medical robots crawls out, only to be crushed by a massive metal foot. Vilgax emerges out of it, fully rehabilitated and with a few different features as he spoke in a cold tone, "I will see to this task myself!"
On Vilgax's ship, which is flying above Earth, the activation signal of the Omnitrix is detected as he looks at the location on the screen in a cold tone, "The Omnitrix has been activated. Pinpoint its location. I have you now."
*Beep*
On Vilgax's ship, the Omnitrix signal is lost as the Bioid said in a robotic tone, "We have lost the Omnitrix signal."
Vilgax waving off the Omnitrix signal going down responded in a confident tone, "No matter. I've narrowed down its location."
Vilgax looks at various screens showing images of Ben's heroics as various aliens. Then Mash did the same wearing the Omnitrix as he spoke in a cold tone, "I know just how to draw this earthling out."
*CRACK*
Vilgax smashes one of the screens. The Chimerian Hammer slowly descends over a bison-filled field. The hanger of the underside of the ship opens, and a swarm of Mechadroids and a red large mace.
The mace doesn't fly, so it just falls to the ground with the Mechadroids following it. It then begins rolling, leading its force on its way to Rapid City, destroying the welcome sign along the way.

[United States, Earth]
Back with Mash enjoying his coffee, he noticed the fire and smoke coming from Rapid City as he smirked in a calm tone, "Ah… I was wondering when Squidward was going to make his move. Time to see the big bad himself."
*BOOOM*
*THUD*
In Rapid City, the Mechadroids are wreaking havoc and causing mass destruction. People run around in panic. The large mace destroys buildings while rolling. Two Mechadroids blast a gas station, causing a massive explosion.
Seeing the destruction Mash smirked as he jumped into action and propelled himself at a high speed towards the Mechadroids. People looked on as they continued to run amok while the Mechadroids attacked Rapid City.
*THUD*
Suddenly, Mash appears as the Mechadroids automatically turn off. Using his [Technopathy] he simply commanded them to halt in place as he observed the alien tech with a glint of amusement in his eyes, "Oh? These must be Vilgax personal Mechadroids. Sent to come after little old me huh?"
Seeing all the Mechadroids halt in place Mash notices the large mace rolling towards him. It stops rolling and opens as he uses [TOOS] on the alien coming out from within with a narrowed glare.
[Vilgax Lv.80 Alien Warlord]
The inner compartment opens and Vilgax steps out. Vilgax's appearance is much more revealing, and he's much taller. His body is also covered with armor, and he has several cylinders attached to his arms and shoulders.
Mash seeing Vilgax finally spoke in a neutral tone drawing his Shadow Sword at the ready twirling it around, "I see it's about time I saw alien stalking me after the Omnitrix as well?"
Vilgax leveled a glare at Mash eyeing him cautiously as he spoke in a calm tone, "At last, we meet. The being that has caused me so much trouble."
Mash readied a battle stance against Vilgax as he spoke in a neutral tone, "The name's Mash Bastion. Who are you?"
Vilgax responds in a neutral tone readying his stance for combat, "I am Vilgax. And I have come for the Omnitrix."
No words were needed between the two. Each of their intents clear as they're eyes narrowed…
*Swoooosh*
Making the first move Mash lunged forward with a sword thrust attack as he propels himself at Vilgax with the intent to pierce him.
*SHINNG*
Managing to pierce through his body he was surprised how Vilgax is unfazed. Vilgax picks Mash up and throws him into several buildings at high speeds as he crashes through them leaving destruction in his wake.
*THUD*
*THUD*
*THUD*
Although relatively unharmed Mash blinked as he got himself up from under the rubble. He shakes off the rubble as he speaks genuinely surprised, "Uh... Okay... This guy is tough! As expected of a level 80."
*RMBL*
With one leap, Vilgax lands close to Mash, causing a minor tremor. Lunging at Mash Vilgax reels his arm back to attack him. Seeing this Mash reacted accordingly avoiding the punch and leaving behind a shockwave attack destroying anything in its wake.
Narrowing his eyes Mash began to retaliate as he got close to Vilgax and muttered, "[Shamak]."
*POOF*
A black smokescreen of Yin Magic disabled Vilgax's senses causing him to see total darkness while only feeling his feet on the ground. Being in a defenseless state Mash didn't hesitate to launch him away with an empowered punch with the Charms of Bezel boosting his strength as he muttered, "[Boost]."
*BOOOM*
His fist landing against Vilgax's chest propelled the villain into the sky away from him. He felt his inner organs cry in pain which may have caused internal bleeding spitting his alien blood from his mouth.
Vilgax jumps a long distance and tackles Mash, and Mash manages to get back in the air, though Vilgax grips his legs as he speaks, "Give me the Omnitrix."
Mash answers him by using his [Unseen Hands] on him to knock him off. Vilgax breaks free, yet he attempts to tackle Mash again. Mash dodges with Vilgax as he asks in a neutral tone, "You do realize fighting me is pointless? You'll only lose – "
*VEEEEE*
Mash's words were cut short as the Chimerian Hammer then came into view. It hovered over the city easily shadowing most of it with Vilgax muttering in a confident tone, "Perhaps you can keep offering this useless resistance… or even gain the victory but I know your weakness."
The massive alien ship then began making a spine-chilling sound as the space warlord's threat was made clear in a cold tone, "You will have to choose, it's either you or them."
Mash paused considering the options for the people and his ship. He frowned raising his hands in surrender with a glare at him in an annoyed tone, "…Tch. I yield. Just stop terrorizing my people."
Vilgax got near Mash and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. Vilgax mocked as he typed in a locking code on the Omnitrix and de-powering cuffs responding in an indifferent tone, "How noble. But useless, this planet has already outlived its utility."
*RMBL*
The spiked sphere vehicle came rolling back up to their location and opened. Being tossed inside by Vilgax before entering inside himself before it closed and rolled away towards the Chimerian Hammer.

[Chimerian Hammer, Space]
Back on Vilgax's ship. Analyzing Vilgax watched Mash on his screen as he was placed in an electric prison chamber containing both his right arm and legs with energy shackle with his left wrist being held in a large metal chamber to contain the Omnitrix as Vilgax scanned its data in an annoyed tone, A child. I should have suspected as much. The Omnitrix being used as a play-toy!"
Mash is affixed to Vilgax's extraction device. His right hand and legs are restrained to energy and his left arm is in a cylinder to extract the Omnitrix he replied rolling his eyes, "No kidding. The previous guy a literal kid was using it to play hero. Reckless too boot. The creator seriously got some screws loose leaving all this power to a fucking child."
Vilgax rolled his eyes agreeing with Mash on that remark narrowing them in his direction in a neutral tone, "We can both agree on that earthling. You hold the key to a power struggle so ancient, so vast, it is beyond your feeble comprehension. Picture an entire army, each in command of an Omnitrix and all at my command."
It's visually represented as an army of Omnitrix aliens attacking an ice fortress, with Vilgax leading them... One of them reveals the ability to transform from one form in an instant, and without reverting as Vilgax continues, "I will be invincible. I will rule the Universe! And the only thing standing between me and my destiny... is you!"
An array of tools rises from the floor around Mash. Mash does not attempt to free himself as he says with a raised eyebrow, "Really? It sounds like a mad raving of a mad dog to my ears. Do you expect the universe to take kindly to your ambitions?"
*CLANK*
Upon hearing his provocation, a selection of spears and other bladed weapons rose up from the ground around them. Mistaking Mash's silence for the actual success of his fear tactic he was focusing on taking control of his ship using his [Technopathy] as Vilgax spoke in a confident tone, "Prepare for take-off. Once we're in orbit, I will finally have the pleasure of destroying this miserable planet, once and for all!"
Watching from above as they leave Earth's biosphere space Mash smirked finding information regarding the location of some artifacts Vilgax either hid somewhere safe or postponed acquisition after he got his hands on the Omnitrix. Most notable amongst them was Ruby Ray of Rouleau, Shield of Seagle, and the important item he came purposely being captured the Chronosapien Time Bomb.
On the ship, Vilgax is holding a rather large energy blade. He walks towards Mash as he speaks in a cold tone, "I'm gonna enjoy cutting you apart boy."
Mash rolled his eyes as he expressed a feral grin activating his Gamer Ring and opening a small portal underneath Vilgax into an isolated dimension where Beatrice trapped the original [Great Rabbit] said in a cold tone, "So do I buddy. You just became rabbit food."
*Shiii*
Opening the portal that Vilgax entered through in surprise. He fell inside forever trapped with the [Great Rabbit as the portal closed, he sighed a breath of relief, "Whew… close call there. At least his gone now then…"
One of the Drones from Vilgax's ship came towards Mash holding the key item of interest with a grin spreading across his face. He used [TOOS] to observe the ultimate reset or delete bomb.
----
Item: Chronosapien Time Bomb
Rarity Item: SSS
Type: Doomsday Device
Description: When a Chronosapien Time Bomb is activated, it will unleash a blast that will entirely wipe out targeted timelines in the multiverse along with anyone or anything from them. When activated, six holographic orange dials appear circling the central window.
The device is shown to erase the entirety of the multiverse except the timeline/dimension it was activated in. However, the weapon wipes out a timeline after it is activated. Whether the device has different functions or Eon was misinformed is unclear.
The Chronosapien Time Bomb leaves a temporal ripple detectable to Chronosapiens, allowing a Chronosapien to completely reverse the Time Bomb's effects by using their time powers to suck the ripple back in. The Time Bomb does not work retroactively. This means that the past of destroyed dimensions and timelines still exists up until the point of activation and can be traveled to.
----
Mash smirked as he rubbed his hands together finally having a plan in place talking to himself in a neutral tone, "Finally… with this, I can finally leave this universe behind. Now the only one to stop me is that hero. And I have just the location in mind…"
*Beep*
A screen appears in front of Mash as he smirks having the coordinates of the last hurdle he must go through. The location that Mash sees across the screen using his database is none other than the Forge of Creation…

[A few days later, Forge of Creation]
Somewhere else in some part of the Forge of Creation world, a ship came out containing three people as a Paradox spoke to them in a calm tone, "Now then my friends it's time to search for that weird time anomaly, ok?"
The three people who the professor spoke to were Keven, Gwen, and Ben from the Omniverse series of Prime Timeline Ben smacked his fist together as he spoke in a confident tone, "Sure thing Paradox. Now which baddies decided it was a good idea to mess with time again huh? Eon? Vilgax? Or is that Clockwork guy starting a Time War? Don't they know they're messing with the greatest hero in the Galaxy?"
Professor Paradox shook his head as he gestured to his old-fashioned Chrono Navigator in the past discussing with the trio while being 500 light years away from the Forge of Creation in a cautious tone, "I wouldn't be too sure young Tennyson. Unlike the previous foes you faced, I see nothing of what's to come here. I cannot know what will happen next as the person chooses this place to hide from everyone. Be wary and on your guard. We merely came a few days late to try and stop this young man from destroying reality as we know it in his base here."
Turning around and leaving the trio all looked at each other as they gazed at the well-fortified base in space with Ben smirking activating his Omnitrix determined to win like he always has before in a confident tone, "In that case, there is only one situation out of this guy. Time to kick the bad guy's butt. It's hero time!!!!!"
