Bab 6: Vilgax Attack and Shield gets in the way
Ben POV
Grandpa Max Was driving the RV past a city while looking rather stressed. 'I shouldn't have told about my dream,' I thought as we kept going.
After our many adventures, including dealing with every rouge that the original Ben had to deal with along with meeting some new people. Meeting Magneto who was different from both comics and movies.
But thanks to having to deal with Vilgax's stupid robots I finally had to deal with these terrible dreams. He just wouldn't leave me alone even after I proved to be more than capable of dealing with his toys.
"Grandpa, are you sure you're okay?" I asked as he kept driving. He has been radiating a lot of anxiety since I told him of my dream. "If there is something you want to-"
"Ben, I'm fine," he said as he did his best to stay focused on the road. "I just want us to reach our next stop sooner."
"Where are we going anyways?" Gwen asked from the back of the RV.
"Mount Rushmore," was the simple reply.
"Wait, is there something hidden at Mount Rushmore? Like a hidden base? Or is there a vault?" I decided to ask, trying to show grandpa it would be hard to lie about this.
He didn't say anything the whole time. He just kept driving and it was driving me nuts. 'Time to be impulsive.'
I used the Omnitrix to turn into Upgrade and messed with Gwen's computer. I was thankful that the watch timed out a lot faster than it normally does since I didn't want to make it too easy for Vilgax to find me and it seemed to get grandpa to relax after I turned back.
Max POV
I was hoping the short transformation wouldn't attract any attention. That he wouldn't come to earth and attack us. Boy was that wishful thinking.
KABOOM
A good distance away we heard many explosions. That was enough to get Ben to charge ahead to rescue the people. And here I thought we could get my old gear before we had to deal with that mad alien.
As soon as we arrived at the city I saw Ben in his Heatblast form trying many creative ways to stop the alien invader. He probably noticed his fire wouldn't work against him. Instead he melted the pavement and created many roadblocks to stop him. He truly has gotten better at fighting with these powers.
After a while I heard many cars begin to make their way to the battle. I would have tried to stop them but I saw it was SHIELD.
Grabbing my granddaughter, I got us back to the RV and drove back to Mount Rushmore. Those agents won't be able to do anything even if they tried.
I was soon able to bring Ben back into the RV since the Omnitrix finally timed out.
Ben POV
'Okay, maybe this wasn't such a good idea,' I thought as I recovered from the injuries I got during the fight. I still remember how Vilgax thinks and fights but that doesn't mean I'm ready to deal with him yet.
"Pathetic," I heard Vilgax say in the distance, in the most condescending way I have ever heard. "Are you really the one that dealt with my mechadroids and fought off galactic bounty hunters? What a disappointment."
"Everyone take aim," I heard not too far away.
Looking out the window I noticed many trucks carrying agents and the same laser guns that SACT used when they tried to capture me. "Wait, don't!"
"Fire!"
It was a crazy light show. So many lasers were hitting Vilgax as he walked towards us, but he didn't stop to acknowledge any of them but he clearly wasn't pleased with the distraction.
"Insolent pest," Vilgax growled as he made a hand gesture causing the smaller drone-like robots to fly out of the spiked wrecking ball he used to destroy the city and fly towards him. "Deal with the earthlings and bring me the Omnitrix," he commanded as he started to follow the RV and his drones flew towards the SHIELD agents to get them to back off.
'Can things get any worse?' I thought as I decided to go back to the fight.
"Wait Ben, it's too dangerous," grandpa Max tried to warn me as I made my way to the door.
"I can't wait grandpa, those people are in danger," I responded with the most determination I have had in a while.
"Ben, you don't know how dangerous that alien is. You don't even have a plan!"
When someone hands a delivery like that you just have to take advantage of it. So I quoted one of my favorite lines in a marvel movie, "I have a plan. Attack." I then slammed on the Omnitrix and transformed into Stinkfly and flew out of the RV.
I have to admit the SHIELD agents are really lucky. They were able to deal with the drones that Vilgax sent far easier than I thought they would, I just made it easier for them by distracting the drones.
Unfortunately I had a harder time dealing with both Vilgax and the occasional SHIELD agent trying to bring me down.
'Oh great, there are still after me. That or there are HYDRA members among them,' I thought only to suddenly feel Vilgax grab onto my tail as I tried to knock him off.
A short fight against him only led to him finally getting a grip on me. He lifted a finger and tapped the Omnitrix symbol on my face.
FLASH
"A child! The Omnitrix is in the hands of a mere child!" Vilgax yells in utter rage as he sees my appearance.
He then attempted to take the Omnitrix only for a blast of feedback energy to prevent him from simply trying to rip my arm off so he could take the Omnitrix. He then threw me into his pod and got in as well. We flew off into the sky presumably going towards his ship, which is probably over Mount Rushmore, I started to wonder what my grandpa and cousin were doing.
Gwen POV
"Okay grandpa, I waited long enough," I said, looking around the base that was inside Mount Rushmore. "What is this place? Do you know that alien? And why did we come here instead of helping Ben?"
He opens one of the drawers and takes out a cannon that is as big as he is. "Well we can't help him without the right equipment." He then grabbed a few other things and even gave me a gun shaped object I could only assume was a laser pistol.
He then pulled me back to the RV and started to drive out of the base and up the mountain. I would be lying if I said seeing the weird spaceship floating over the national park wasn't worrying.
"Please tell me the Rust Bucket can fly," I say to my grandpa because seeing how far a drop it was from the top of Mount Rushmore really scared me.
'I'm starting to wish I stayed at home this summer.'
Nick Furry POV
Receiving news that the alien squid went back to his ship should have been comforting. But knowing the fact that none of our weapons managed to put a scratch on him left me feeling quite anxious. Not only did a large part of a city get destroyed but we were left helpless. The fact that Tennyson's kid was fighting and did more than we ever could just showed how overpowering these things are.
I'm now receiving reports that the alien's ship was floating over Mount Rushmore and seems to be getting ready to leave to space. We can't simply let him get away.
"Get the pilots ready, I want them to blast that ship out of the sky!" I yelled. I just about had it with these aliens.
The thought of Max and his grandkids being on the ship never crossed my mind. Especially in the state of frustration I was in.
Ben POV
Vilgax was finally finished preparing me for his little lab test of the day. Along with a lot of sharp and pointy objects that seem unethical in any kind of practice.
He begins to give me the big speech of what he wants to do with the Omnitrix. How it is the centerpiece of a great galactic war that has been going on for who knows how long.
"You know this isn't gonna work?" I asked the evil warlord. Being left hanging like I'm the vitruvian man is not fun. "As long as there is a power hungry mad man there will be people wanting to fight back.Plus there are the unknown amount of failsafes in the watch to make sure this kind thing doesn't happen."
"Ah, but I have many methods to remove the Omnitrix."
As he brings the torture device to my arm we heard something busting through all of the walls. I turned to the side and saw the wall break with the Rust Bucket coming through.
SLAM
He ran over the minion robots and then hit Vilgax until he reached the other side of the room. He then backed up until the RV was close to the machine holding me down.
Grandpa Max comes out of the Rust Bucket carrying a large gun. "Claws off my grandson Vilgax," he demanded as he took aim and fired a shot at him.
Due to the blast hitting the machinery and causing a feedback of raw energy that made the watch begin to malfunction. I started to randomly transform into my 10 aliens one by one until I broke free.
I tried my best to make sure grandpa and Gwen had a chance to escape. But with my sporadic transformations and the chaotic fight, no one noticed Vilgax attacked grandpa to stop him from getting the ship to land back onto earth.
I transformed into Upgrade and dealt with all the robot drones when I noticed what Vilgax was doing. "Get away from him!" I yelled as I tackled him off the ship.
Max POV
I finally got up only to see Ben and Vilgax falling from the ship. I would be worried if it wasn't for the fact Ben can take care of himself, and hearing an alarm.
WEE WOO WEE WOO
"What was that?" Gwen asked as I made my way back to the console.
I checked everything and realized that there were jets heading our way. "Looks like Furry finally had enough," I commented as I worked on the console.
"What are you doing?"
"Giving SHIELD a fighting chance and hopefully making sure Vilgax doesn't become a problem ever again."
As I finished I pulled Gwen back into the Rust Bucket and drove as quickly as the old girl could go.
Furry POV
"Update on the alien ship sir," one of my agents said as she pulled out satellite images of the invader's vessel. "It seems to be landing- correction, crashing back to earth."
"Tell our fliers to hold fire, we can't risk bombarding a national monument," I ordered, trying to think of a way to prevent unnecessary damage and as a chance to figure out why the ship was coming down.
"Sir, you might want to see this," another agent notified me as he sent another satellite image of the scene only for a very recognizable RV to fall out of the ship.
Many agents were confused by the appearance of the RV. I was just exasperated now that I know the Tennysons are involved with this mess. Now I have to make sure they aren't noticed while also making sure we take that ship down.
'What the hell is going on Max?'
"Sir, permission to make a suggestion," called out one of my best agents. One who managed to rise the ranks in record time, my own nephew Nicholas James Furry Junior.
"Granted," I said as I turned to him.
"What if we strike the ship as it rises once again," he said without losing his nerve. "Those jets have enough firepower to turn that ship into nothing but shrapnel. And whatever unavoidable damage is left could be easily cleaned."
I had to take a moment to take that suggestion into consideration. He is not entirely wrong and we are running out of options. But the Tennysons are still there, we need something else. That family is too valuable to let die but this invader is too dangerous to let him go.
"Sir, the ship is rising," another agent said as I was brought back to focus.
The ship is indeed attempting to fly again. I noticed then a small dot falling out of the ship then in a flash of green light turned into a fireball.
"Tell our fliers to get ready to fire their payloads."
"Ready and waiting on your command sir," an agent answered as everyone made sure to keep their eyes on their monitors.
"Fire!"
Ben POV
KABOOM
I heard the explosion as I made my way back to solid ground. Turning around I noticed that the ship began to explode and saw some jets firing missiles at the ship finally turning it to scrap metal.
CRASH
I landed on an open field not too far from the Rust Bucket's own crash sight. The whole time I looked at the sky without any worries of the future for the first time since I realized I was living in a comic book world.
"Ben!" I heard my cousin calling out for me.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
The watch finally timed out, turning me back to normal. Turning around I see my family reaching me as all I could say is, "Grandpa, we got a lot to talk about."
As we took a look at the remains of Vilgax's ship I could feel the relief from Gwen, the feeling of pride from grandpa, along with my own feelings of peace.
'I guess things won't be so bad after all,' was all I could think about now walking with my family back to the RV as what appeared to be SHIELD agents getting closer to the burning remains of Vilgax's ship. 'I really hope that won't have any unintended consequences,' I thought as I watched the agents take a look around.
