After 10 minutes, I asked for leave from Grandpa and went into the forest for Gwen. I quickly caught up with her, and then followed her so that she did not notice me.
After 15 minutes, Gwen came to a familiar clearing. I hid in the forest and watched her.
After another 2 minutes, an Omnitrix capsule fell from the sky, nearly crushing Gwen.
Standing up, Gwen walked towards the capsule. I did not see further, but I can say with certainty that Gwen put on the Omnitrix.
This became clear, because a flash of pink appeared from the pit.
Disgusting color.
A minute later, Gwen jumped out of the pit, trying to take off watch. Giving up, Gwen decided to test the Omnitrix.
After activating the watch, she pressed the dial and after a flash of pink light, she transformed into a female version of Heatblast.
Quite quickly recovering from the transformation, Gwen moved a little to the side and began to play with fire. Literally. It's good that she is not an idiot like Ben and understands that she needs to be more careful.
I think my time has come.
Coming out of my hiding place, I walked towards the crater that the Omnitrix capsule had left with its landing.
As I approached the crater, I showed myself to Gwen on purpose. Pretending to carefully examine the capsule that was still in the crater, I waited for Gwen's actions.
That fool decided to sneak up behind me and scare me. Well, she made up her mind. I'll teach her to think about the consequences.
Creeping up behind me, still in her Pyronite form, Gwen said:
- Hey Ben, look.
Pretending to have only noticed her, I turned and looked at her.
- Boo. - Gwen said, trying to scare me with her appearance.
Pretending to be frightened, I raised my hand and formed a magical construct, in the form of an Iron Man glove. Of course everything turned out blue, but who cares. Main efficiency.
Activating the repulsor on my glove, I fired a beam of energy straight at Gwen.
From the impact of the repulsor, Gwen was thrown back three meters. After falling, Gwen, with a flash of light, became herself.
- What was it? / What was it? - we asked at the same time.
Gwen decided to answer first.
- I was walking in the forest, and then a star fell from the sky, almost crushing me. Approaching, I saw that it was not a star, but a container, there was this watch inside. They jumped into my arms. I tried to take them off, but it didn't work. Then, I decided to check what this watch can do. Turning them on, I saw a silhouette. By pressing the dial, I turned into a Fire Girl. Then you came. I wanted to scare you, and when you saw me, you created a blue glove around your hand and attacked me. After that, I became myself. Now, explain to me what that glove was? - Gwen demanded after her story.
- I do not know. You scared me. I thought you were some kind of fire monster, so I wanted to protect myself. This glove formed on my hand, and then, I acted on instinct and shot at you. That's all I know. - I said.
Well, of course, I lied. True, for the first time I tried to make such a glove, but I succeeded.
Let the local Grandfather think that I discovered my Anodite abilities out of fright. It will be better this way.
- It is clear that nothing is clear. Can you make the glove again? - Gwen asked.
I pretended to focus very strongly on my hand, after which I created the same construct as before.
- I can. - I said and fired the repulsor at the tree. The tree was broken in half by my attack.
Hm, it works.
With this shot, I wanted to test the power of the repulsors.
When I first shot Gwen, I certainly didn't mean to hurt her, just to scare her.
But now, I checked if I can shoot with sufficient force. It seems I can do even more. Here everything depends on desire. Very comfortably.
Gwen, seeing the state of the tree, swallowed.
- Show me the clock. It seems that this is the Omnitrix that I dreamed about today. - I said and took Gwen's hand.
- Did you dream? You mean the dream about that alien with an octopus head you were talking about? - Gwen asked.
Pretending that I was studying the clock, I said thoughtfully:
- His name is Vilgax. And yes. He said he would come for the Omnitrix. And now, the Omnitrix is on your hand.
After my words, I pressed the clock button and the dial popped up.
- Is this the Fire Girl you turned into? - I asked, pointing my finger at the silhouette of Heatblast.
- Yes. - Gwen said nodding.
At Gwen's words, I turned the dial and another silhouette appeared.
- Look, there are other aliens here. - I said and scrolled the dial a few more times.
- Total ten. - Gwen said that she was closely following my actions.
- Will you try again? - I asked.
- Let's. - Gwen said and pressed the clock.
It seems that there was a silhouette of the Four Arms. But all of a sudden it didn't work out that way.
After a flash of light, Gwen transformed into a female version of Grey Matter.
'It's a good thing I lowered the brightness of that flash a long time ago. She's really annoying. And it's good that I removed the random transformation function a long time ago. It's such a headache.' - I thought to myself, closing my eyes, shielding them from the light.
- How small you are. - I said and lifted Gwen by the scruff of the neck.
- What is it? I chose a different silhouette. - complained, in a squeaky voice, Gwen, standing on my palms.
- I don't know, maybe a glitch. - I said indifferently.
It was at this moment that Vilgax's robot began to fall from the sky.
Seeing a new shooting star, Gwen screamed:
- Ben, be careful.
I ran a little into the forest so as not to get hurt. Gwen, on the other hand, jumped on my back so as not to interfere.
After landing, Vilgax's robot assumed its true form and walked towards the campsite.
- There's Grandpa. - Gwen screamed, worried.
Without saying anything, I formed the Iron Man suit myself. Of course, the entire armor was made of Mana and it was completely blue colour.
I concentrated and shot the robot in the back with the repulsor from the chest reactor. The robot was simply torn apart.
It's been powerful. Not expected.
- Cool! - Gwen said that she was still in her Grey Matter form.
Just at that moment, Grandfather came running. When he saw us, he froze. I dispelled the Iron Man suit and began to tell everything that had happened.
By the time I finished the story, Gwen had already become human since the charge had run out.
- Okay, I understand everything. - said Grandfather, then after a little thought he asked:
- Ben, are you saying that you dreamed about this particular watch?
- Yes. Exactly the same. In the dream they were called the Omnitrix. And this Vilgax said that he would come for us as soon as the Omnitrix was in our hands. - Once again, I lied.
Hearing my words, Grandfather thought for a few minutes, after which he said:
- Get ready, we're leaving immediately.
- What? But where? - Gwen asked
- Mount Rushmore. Now is not the time to ask questions, I will explain everything later. - Max said in a voice that brooked no objections.
Quickly packing our things, we got on the bus and drove to Mount Rushmore.
During the journey, Gwen managed to talk to Grandpa and he told everything. And didn't forget to tell even about Verdona and the Anodites.
- So, you were a galactic cop, then? - Gwen asked shocked.
- Yes. - Grandpa said shortly.
- And you've fought this Vilgax before? - Gwen asked again.
- Yes. I thought he was dead, but it doesn't seem to be. - Max answered.
- But why do you believe in Ben's dream? - Gwen asked doubtfully.
- Too many coincidences for a simple dream. - Grandpa said with a frown.
- Ben, why are you silent? Say something. - Gwen practically screamed, for whom the whole situation was too crazy.
- In a dream it was about your past, Grandfather. But I thought it was just a dream. - I lied.
- More proof that Ben's dream is true. - Max said calmly.
- What is Ben's armor? - Gwen asked, calming down a bit.
- I think Ben awakened his Anodite abilities. But they are different for him. More unique. Can you craft only this armor? - After a little thought, Grandfather said.
- I do not know. It's sort of instinctive. I want to protect myself and attack the enemy. This is where the armor comes in. - I lied again.
I don't like lying to relatives, but they're not really my Gwen and Grandpa. So I'll get over it.
It was at this moment that the Intergalactic Tracking System appeared on the dashboard of the bus and gave a signal.
- Vilgax's ship is already here. - Grandpa said seriously.
The ship appeared in 3 minutes. And he was in the sky, right in front of our RV.
A large, studded, red sphere fell out of the ship and blocked our path.
Grandpa stopped the RV, took his weapon and jumped out. Gwen and I went after him.
Vilgax stepped out of the sphere. And he began his villainous monologue. I was tired of wasting time, so I ran to Vilgax.
The alien looked at me with a condescending smile and did not even think to move.
Behind me, Gwen and Grandpa were yelling for me to stop. But I didn't listen to them.
When Vilgax was five meters away, I formed the Blue Hulkbuster Armor.
Not expecting such a trick, Vilgax froze in place.
Once near him, I raised a huge fist of armor and hit the alien with all my foolishness.
The impact sent Vilgax into the ground.
Some weak Vilgax here. I couldn't even take one hit. Well, it's logical, because this Vilgax did not go through modifications, like mine.
I decided to add a few more strokes, after which I stopped.
I think I broke all his bones, if he has any. He can't even move. Lying now, in his own blood, in a deep crater. But he did not lose consciousness.
Deciding to finish with him, I took his hand. After that, I spun on the spot and threw it with all my might right into the ship.
Vilgax crashed into his ship and punched a hole in it, while I fired all my guns at the ship.
From my repulsor, the ship was simply destroyed. There was nothing left of him.
While Gwen and Grandpa looked on in shock at what had become of the ship, I quickly put the Vilgax sphere into my inventory. When folded, there was just enough space.
Recovering, Grandfather looked at me sternly, but said only that it was time for us to leave and we went back.
It's not my world, so there's nothing wrong with what I've done now.
In a few hours, I'll be back and all the problems I left here will have to be dealt with by the real Ben.

I started a pat*reon here, or if there are still those who want, which I sincerely doubt, you can support me, and at the same time get a few chapters in advance.
Currently there are two subscriptions for 2 and 5 chapters, but in the future there will be subscriptions with more chapters, up to 40, although this will certainly cost money.
If you still decide to support me, I will be very grateful, because thanks to this income, I will be able to spend more time writing fanfiction.
P.S. Patre*on will not affect the release of chapters on Webnovel in any way. Although, starting this week, I'm moving to a different edition of chapters, 5 chapters a week, and with weekends on Saturday and Sunday. I'm sorry if I disappoint, but the days off are completely taken up with my personal affairs.
P.S.S. If there are any problems with pat*reon, please let me know. I don't really understand site yet and I might make a mistake somewhere.
