Helluva beginning - part 2 Hell is a… let be honest, it a crazy mad place which is filled with Hellborns and Sinners. The only time this place is even more maddening is when the yearly extermination comes around. Fortunately this year’s extermination has just passed and everyone can start to rebuild. There only one person who is struggling with the aftermath of the extermination. The king of Hell himself, Lucifer Morningstar who was going over the yearly extermination paperwork at his desk. Lucifer: “I don’t know what worse: the extermination or the damn paperwork that follows it.” As he was going over the paperwork. “I should really think about hiring someone to help with this.” Just then, a door open and a demon servent popped his head into the room. Servant: “ummm, Lord Lucifer?” He asked with a hint of fear in his voice. Lucifer: “yes, what is it servant?” Not wanting to deal with anything else today. Servant: “you have some visitors here to see you, sir.” Lucifer: “well can you please tell them to leave as I’m not in the mood to deal with anyone today.” ???: “not even a old friend, Lucifer?” A familiar voice said as Lucifer turned to see a few face he hasn’t seen in a long time: Imperius, Tyrael and Credo. “Or even an old teacher for one?” Lucifer: “Imperius… Tyreal… Credo…. It’s been a long time since I last saw any of you. Nice beard, Credo.” Credo: “you know it a goatee, Luci.” Stroking his goatee. Imperius: “A long time for you, longer for these two. Even longer for me. I don’t suppose you and I can’t have a drink like old time.” As he sat down at a nearby table. Lucifer: “alright but a quick one. I still have to finish all this bloody paperwork.” As he got up from his desk and headed over to the table. Imperius: “you think that bad? You should see the paperwork I have to go through every year after the extermination. It makes that pile of paperwork seem like a breeze.” Tyrael: “yeah, you need a snorkel and a pair of flippers to move through the place. In fact, one time I swore I saw a few paper fish swimming through the place.” As he made a swimming motion with his hand. Imperius. “I still think you made that up to mess with us.” As he drew a sigil in the air and pulled out a bottle and some wine glasses from it. “This is the stuff I drink when I’m off duty. This is the good stuff.” As he pour the drink into the glasses. Lucifer: “from your personal stash I assume?” As he took a seat and grabbed one of the filled glasses. “You’re lucky I enjoy a good drink every now and then or otherwise-“ Imperius: “I know, I know. Trust me, if I meant any harm to you, Lilith or young Charlotte, you would have known long before by now. And besides, I know better then to mess with you. I’ve still got the scar to prove.” Tapping the left side of his head. Lucifer: “you only have yourself to blame for that scar. What were you thinking giving me a sword back then. I was young.” Imperius: “yeah I know. I have a new rule now: don’t give students real weapons until they’re ready.” As he, Tyrael and Credo grabbed their glasses. “To the good ole days.” as they all raised their glasses and took a sip. lucifer: “you don’t think I know what your doing?” As he put his glass down. “I know you’re hiding something. I know your here for some official heaven business?” Imperius: “heh, I should have known you would see through this, Lucifer.” As he put the glass down and took out some photos and tossed them on the table. “During the extermination, a group of exorcist were… killed and I wish to find the sinner responsible for doing so.” Lucifer: “to execute him?” Imperius: “to put him on trial, so at least the sinner has a chance of survival. The yearly extermination has passed and you know I do not want anymore death today.” Lucifer merely sighed as he knew Imperius was true about him not wanting anymore death. The silence was suddenly broke when the Angelo knight captain, Luke Valentine, burst in through the door. Credo: “CAPTAIN VALENTINE! What is the meaning of this?!?” He yelled at his subordinates disrespectful behaviour. Valentine: “forgiveness, General Credo but I came in to tell you that we are wasting time. We should be hunting down the killer of those exorcists now! Not waste our time playing tea party with this traitor!” Credo: “that’s enough!” Grabbing the captain arm. “Forgive me and the captain, lord lucifer. I shall deal with him.” As he took Luke Valentine out of the room. Imperius: “apologies for captain Valentine actions, Lucifer. He one of those “heaven is superior then everyone” angels. It a blooming headache dealing with him.” Lucifer: “he reminds me of Amon.” Imperius: “oh lord no. Dealing with one of him hard enough already. That why I have a personal stash of this stuff.” As he took a swig from the bottle. Outside, in the hallway, Credo had dragged Valentine to where the Angelo Knights were waiting. Credo: “you were supposed to wait. If we wish to move around and find the one responsible, then we require the permission of Lucifer to do so. Do you understand me?” He said with anger in his voice. Valentine: “yes, general Credo.” He said standing in a military fashion. Credo: “good. Now, I’m gonna go back there. Hopefully, lord Imperius was able to smooth things over with Lucifer. Once we have permission to move throughout hell freely, we shall find the one responsible and punish him and anyone who aids him to the full extent of heaven. For the glory of heaven.” Raising his sword. Valentine: “for the glory of heaven.” Doing the same. Credo then left the room and as soon as he did, his face soon turned to a scowl. “And it is for the glory of heaven that I must do this. Men, get ready, we leave now.” Angelo Knight: “wait, what? Sire, we are supposed to await for general Credo and Lord Imperius and Tyreal. We cannot-“ Valentine: “the longer we wait, the more likely the sinner will escape our grasp. Either we move now or we shall lose him.” Angelo captain: “where would you have us even look? The city massive. We wouldn’t even know where to begin.” It was then that Valentine noticed a certain building in the distance, the Hazbin Hotel. Valentine: “that building lucifer daughter owns, what was it called? The Hazbin Hotel?” Angelo captain: “the Hazbin Hotel? Why does that matter? You think the killer could be hiding there?” Valentine: “it a start. Prepare to move out men.” As he put his helmet on and pulled out his sword. “For the glory of Heaven!” As he raised his weapon. Angelo knights: “for the glory of heaven!!!” As they all did the same. Valentine: “onward, men! To the Hazbin Hotel! And to the execution of the angel killer.” As they all took flight and headed to the Hazbin Hotel. The title forming from their flight pattern. HELLUVA DEVIL Speaking of the Hazbin Hotel, Dante, along with Wrench and Vixen, was being shown around the lobby of the Hotel by the owner of the place, Charlie Morningstar. Charlie: “so, again, welcome to the Hazbin Hotel. I’m Charlie and as you already know I’m the owner of the hotel. This is the lobby. Over here the bar and our bartender, Husk.” as she swerved over the bar which was manned by a cat sinner with wings who had some sort of magician gambler theme to him. He also looked a bit intoxicated as he was currently drinking from an alcohol bottle. Dante: “um, hi.” He waves nervously. Husk: “hmph, how ya doing.” He said in a rather grumpy tone, almost like he didn’t want to be here. Vixen: “yessh, what wrong with Garfield here? Did someone peed in his beer or something?” Wrench: “hah, Garfield! Good one Vix. And FYI: I have actually peed in someone beer before and he did not notice till I told him. Boy was his royal glitched off.” As he accidentally bumped into someone rather fluffy chest. “Oh sorry ma’am, I didn’t-“ Wrench suddenly stopped himself when he saw that he didn’t bumped into a woman but rather a male spider sinner with white fur, a gold fang and a long slender build. Charlie: “and this is Angel Dust. Our first and only resident of the Hotel. We’re hoping to get more though.” Wrench: “yeah, I know. I remember him from the news when you first talked the Hotel. Weird how your first resident an adult film star.” Angel: “like what ya see, pal?” As he pushed up his chest fluff. Wrench: “sorry pal. Not even for all the tea in London and China combine.” As he backed off. Angel: “why not? Don’t swing that way?” Wrench: “no, I’m bisexual actually. It just that you’re not my type. And by type, I mean I rather not be another number on an adult film stars list of people you slept with.” This remark made husk spit out his drink as what sounded like a gang of people going “oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh” was heard. Dante: “damn, that was cold blooded, Wrench.” Impressed by what Wrench said. Wrench: “thanks. I have a knack for zinger like that.” Angel: “yeah well, you can… you can just…. Damn, I can’t think of anything.” ???: “wow, that’s a first.” A second female voice said. Everyone turned to see a moth like sinner with a red-pink X-shape eyepatch over her left and wearing a red blouse, a miniskirt and a red bow in her hair. “That is the first I ever since you dumbfounded by someone.” Wrench: “oh, and who is this fine moth lady?” Trying to put the moves on her. Charlie: “this is Vaggie, the manager of the hotel and my girlfriend.” She said holding Vaggie hand while Wrench backed off, looking embarrassed. Wrench: “oh geez, I am so sorry your majesty. I did not mean to try and put the moves on your girlfriend. This is the nightclub incident again.” Dante: “the nightclub incident? What’s that about?” Curious about what Wrench was talking about. Vixen: “a couple of weeks ago at a nightclub, Wrench tried to pull the moves on a redhead at the bar, unaware that her girlfriend was working there as the bartender.” Dante: “oof, bet he didn’t see that coming. So what happened next?” Wrench: “they both threw margaritas at me and the redhead I was hitting on kneed me in my groin.” Covering his groin. Vixen: “after you suggested a three way between them and you.” Wrench: “well, it couldn’t have hurt to try… was what I thought at the time.” Dante: “man, you’re a regular Barney Stinson, Wrench.” He said chuckling. “So is that everyone or is there anyone you’ve yet to introduce yet?” Charlie: “well, you’ve already met Niffty.” Wrench: “yeah. I’ve got the claw marks to prove it!” Rubbing the leg that Niffty had latch onto. Charlie: “so there only one person left to introduce you to.” ???: “saved the best for last?” A male voice said. Everyone turned to see a male smiling deer sinner wearing a full red dapper suit and a monocle. He had a set of sharp yellow teeth and he had a thin cane with a vintage style microphones on it. “I’m quite touched, my dear.” He said in a transatlantic accent that sounded like he was talking through a radio. “Alastor the Radio Demon. Pleasure to meet you, my boy.” Dante: “oh, um, pleasure to meet you too, I guess?” Confused by the sinner personality. Wrench: “well well, the rumours are true. Your really are back, Alastor. What are you doing hanging around a place like this? Not really your style.” Alastor: “do I know you? I would remember a unique face like yours.” He said still holding a smile. Wrench: “we’ve never met but I have heard about you throughout Hell. Your rep processed you if I may add.” Alastor: “while I’m not a fan of the modern day claptrap and machinery people use, I will endure it for a fan of my work.” Wrench: “I chose to take that as a compliment on my part.” Dante: “man, you’ve got a real crazed group of employees, miss Charlie. I bet this would make an awesome tv show though.” Charlie: “aw, really, ya think?” She said with stars in her eyes. “Anyway, let me show you to your room.” Dante: “thanks. After walking all the way here, I could use some rest. My feet are killing me.” As both he and the Princess headed upstairs. However as they left, Alastor turned his head slightly towards Dante, almost as if he sensed something about Dante. Alastor: “Vagatha, keep an eye on that one. Something seems… off about him.” Keeping his trademark smile on. Vaggie: “how do you mean? Off how?” Alastor: “I sense something about that boy. Something… unusual about him.” Wrench: “oh, you guys have no glitching idea how unusual he is, ain’t that right Vix?” Overhearing the radio demon. Vixen: “Wrench! We should not be talking about it. If anyone found out about it, there would be mass chaos.” As she sat down on a couch. Angel: “what you lot do? Kill an overlord? Cuz that ain’t unusual around here, lady.” Wrench: “there was definitely a killing involved but it weren’t an overlord. It was actually a group of…” Vixen: “WRENCH! SHUT UP!!!!!” As she suddenly took on a more demonic appearance with sharper claws, mystical fire forming a third eye and she had sprouted 8 extra tails with a flame at the end of each of them. “We are not gonna tell them that Dante killed a bunch of Exorcist!!!!” She yelled before realising what she just said. “Oh for eff sake.” Wrench: “wow. And you thought I would spilled the truth beans. And FYI, I was gonna say how he saved our behinds back at Klub Kaiju.” The rest of the Hazbin crew, on the other hand, were in utter disbelief with what they heard. Except for Alastor who still had his trademark smile on. Alastor: “well it true what they say, you find something amazing everyday.” Angel: “wait, hold it, foxy. You mean to tell us that dragonboy killed an exorcist?” Not believing a single word they just heard. Wrench: “it was actually a bunch of them and he has proof. Let me tell ya the whole story. May I have a drink, husk my dear barcat.” As Husk started to pour Wrench a drink. Meanwhile, Charlie had just shown Dante to where his hotel room. The room may not look like much but it was quite well kept. Charlie: “and this is your room. Sorry if it not much.” Dante: “don’t worry about it. As long as the bed comfy and clean….” As he flopped on the bed like a ragdoll. “I don’t mind whatsoever.” As he smiled. Charlie: “okay, so I’ll let you get settled in and we’ll get the rest done when you’re ready. Okay?” As she left the room to let Dante settle in. Dante: “yeah, sure. Man, she is so nice. I’m surprised she the daughter of the king of hell, himself.” ???: “yeah, she really is, isn’t she?” The voice from he first arrived in Hell said. Dante stood up and looked around wondering where the voice came from. Dante: “where is that damn voice coming from?” As he looked around the room. “What are you?” As he checked in the wardrobe. “A shadow that been tailing me? My mind going crazy from when I first arrived here? Where are you?” ???: “I’m wherever you are.” Dante was just confused by what the voice just said. “Allow me to show you.” Just then, a strange black mass began to reach out from his left shoulder stretching like a snake. The mass began to form a large head that looked like a cross between a T-Rex’s and a dragon’s with red horns, red eyes and long, sharp teeth that frame a forked tongue. Dante: “whoa. What are you?” Amazed by what just happened. ???: “I have been given many names. But my birth name and title is Gomorrah, the eternal devourer and I am a Umbra Demon..” The head smiled, flicking it tongue like a snake would. Dante: “Gomorrah, sound easy to remember. So where did you even come from? How are you even… are you inside my body or something like that?” Wondering where Gomorrah came from. Gomorrah: “hard to say. I am a part of you but it more like I’m bound to you. I have to thank you for that.” Dante: “what do you….” Dante then remembered what happened before he arrived in hell. “The purple flame. Was that you?” Gomorrah: “it was what left of me before you bound me to you. Let just say where I’m from, I’m a lot like the sinner that reside in the pride ring. I couldn’t leave my ring but for different reasons.” Dante: “well, you’re welcome. So are you just a voice in my hand that can manifest itself when you want to or do you have special powers or something like that?” Wondering what Gomorrah could do. Gomorrah: “heh, alright, you want to see what I can do? You got those guns from those exorcists you killed?” Dante: “yeah. Why?” Pulling out the angelic guns he looted from those exorcists. “Now what?” Gomorrah: “now… this!” As the dark mass that formed Gomorrah head began to fully envelop the guns and a dark light suddenly burst, enveloping the room. When it cleared, the angelic guns had completely changed. They were now a pair of Lightning Hawk handguns that resemble Gomorrah head. the barrel of the guns resembled his mouth with metal teeth and the hair trigger resembles his horns. It also had a red gem to resemble his eye and a symbol on the bunt of the gun was visible. “So, what do you think?” Dante: “Devil May Cry. This is awesome! These hellguns are the epitome of badass.” Checking out his new guns. Gomorrah: “hellguns?” Confused by what Dante called them. Dante: “well, I needed to call them something.” As he began to poss with them. Gomorrah: “do you even know how to use them? Have you even held a gun before?” Dante: “real life? No but I have played a lot of Call of duty, Resident Evil and other shooters games before. How hard can it be?” Gomorrah: “hmph, just be careful where you point those things. They shoot obsidian bullets. More powerful than any other ammunition in both heaven and hell and they can kill both demon and angel alike. You normally have to mine obsidian ore in the various mountains of hell to get them but when you’re with an umbra demon, like moi, you don’t have to worry about running out of the stuff.” Dante: “really? Thanks. So what else you’ve got in that shadowy sleeve of yours?” Holstering his Hellguns and started to head down to the lobby. Gomorrah: “well, I can breathe a mystical fire, obviously. And I can also give you-“ They were suddenly interrupted when an angelic chain suddenly broke through the window but Dante grabbed it without even looking. Dante: “a sixth sense to give me a head ups?” Suddenly the chain was pulled back with Dante still holding on. Dante was suddenly dragged outside where he landed face first on the ground and saw where the chain came from. A group of Angelo Knights with one of them holding a chain whip. Dante: “Angelic knights? What is this? The Diablo game series?” Standing back up and looking around him. He noticed Luke Valentine and the two Angelo captains standing above the entrance. “And who are you? You do realise you at a hotel meant to redeem sinner, right?” Luke Valentine: “hmph, as if the lowly souls of this wretched ring could be redeemed. We are here because of what you did to those Exorcist.” Dante: “what those exorcist did was their own doing. They attacked me and I defended myself and the innocent they were going to kill.” This caused Valentine to laugh. “What so funny?” Valentine: “innocent? Everyone single soul down is not innocent. If they are to die, then they shall. Just like the wretches they are. Just like the sinners and the delusional princesses in this building. We shall slaughter them all.” Upon hearing this, Dante began to feel anger filling his every bone and blood vessels. The way he talked about everything. He was filled with such rage, that his eyes briefly turned more demonic before going back to normal. Dante: “you know what? It not them who deserve to die. It you. You think that because you lived a holier life then they did, that gives you a right to kill them? People always thought angel were the good guys and the demons were the bad guys but no, it was always the opposite. You’re the bad guys. You want to get to them?” Just then, the necklace turned into purple flames before transforming into his sword. “Then you got to get through me.” (Casey Edward - Devil Trigger starts playing) Valentine: “very well then. Men! Kill him.” As the Angelo Knight began to circle Dante, preparing to strike. It was just then that the front door to the hotel burst open with everyone looking to see what was going on. Angel: “what in the actual eff is going on?!?” Husk: “are those….” Vaggie: “angel? Yeah I think they are. What are they doing here?” Wrench: “obviously they’re here for Dante because they killed a bunch of Exorcist.” Angel: “you guys were serious? I thought you were making it up.” Charlie: “guys? What going on?” Having just arrived at the lobby before seeing Dante being surrounded by the Angelo knights. “Dante! What’s happening?” Worried about what going on. Dante: “guys! Get back inside.” A Angelo knight behind took this as an opportunity to rev up his lance and rush at Dante ready to kill. “Oh no you don’t!” Using the sixth sense he got from Gomorrah to dodge to side before slashing his sword and cutting the knight arm off and grabbing the lance and ramming it into the knight stomach. “Let rev it up!” Revving up the lance and launching the angel into a rock, causing it to explode. “A little 5D reference there.” Two more Angelo knights ran at Dante who blocked their lances with his sword. Their weapons clashed as the Hazbin crew looked on. Charlie: “what going on? Why are there angels fighting with Dante?” Angel: “long story short: it turned out Dante killed a bunch of Exorcist and now they’re here to kill him.” Wrench: “that’s the simplified version but yeah, that true. He also got a pair of angelic guns too.” Charlie: “they can’t do this! Extermination day has passed.” ???: “that’s does not matter to them nor their masters.” The Hazbin crew turned to see Malthael walking up. “They are the Angelo Knights. The High Heaven Counsel personal army.” Vixen: “Malthael? What the hell are you doing here?” Confused as to why Malthael followed them. Malthael: “got worried about my favourite patrons though it looks like I was worried about nothing if Dante is able to hold his own against the council private army.” Impressed that Dante is holding his own against the Angelo knights. Wrench: “wait. The council? What council?” Malthael: “the High Heaven Council. They were formed after Lucifer and Lilith were exiled from Heaven. To ensure that something like that never happened again, a group of high ranking archangels form a council to govern over heaven. They govern over all of Heaven and they do not answers to anyone. They even form their own private army: the Angelo Knights, a legion of loyal angels who spent months training to become a mighty army.” Alastor: “and how do you know so much about this council, my dear shady friend?” Malthael: “because I used to serve on the council. I was once know as Malthael, the archangel of wisdom but now I’m a fallen angel, I guess you could call me the Archangel of Death.” Wrench: “whoa. That crazy.” Vixen: “the fact that Malthael a fallen angel, the fact that heaven has a council with a private army or the fact that Dante holding his own against said army.” Wrench: “just wow to all of it. In fact I should be recording this.” As he pulled out a phone and began to record the fight. Dante was still clashing with the two knights before he jumped over them and slashed the leg off the one on his left and stabbing the one on the right in the chest. Dante: “what the?” Noticing that the armour was empty. “Empty shells. Weird.” He then noticed that Wrench was recording him. “Are you seriously recording this?” Wrench: “yeah. This is the most insane thing to ever have happened.” Dante: “okay but make sure you get my good side.” Blocking a lance attack without even looking. He knocked the knight back and prepared to slash at him when suddenly they turned their shields into a pair of wings and took flight. “Hey! No fair. I only just got these and I don’t know how to fly!” Showing off his wings. Gomorrah: “oh only if you had a pair of projectile weaponry that shoot special rounds.” Dante: “oh, right.” As he pulled out his new Hellguns and twirled them. “Let test these bad boys out!” As he took aim with them. Angel: “are those the…” Wrench: “guns he looted from those exorcist he killed? Yeah they are. Though….” As he used the zoom feature on his phone to get a close look at the guns. “They’ve gotten a major makeover.” Valentine: “foolish sinner. Angelic weaponry is powerful but the armor we Angelo knights used is much stronger than any weapon or ammunition you have.” Dante: “eat obsidian, buddy!” As he rapidly fired his Hellguns at the angelic knight, causing great damage to it. When his ammo ran out, the Angelo Knight fell to the ground and broke apart. “Wow. These are some pretty awesome guns.” As he reloaded them and fired at the last pair of Angelo Knights, breaking their armour and causing them to fall apart. Valentine: “what? Impossible!!! The only thing that can truly penetrate our armor is… obsidian.” He said in disbelief that his men were being cut down like nothing. “Summon more knights! and you two, get down there!” As the two golden knights flew down, several portals opened and more Angelo Knights came out of them. In addition to blue armor knights, there were red armor knights which wielded spears, black ones which wielded battle axes and grey ones that wielded rapid-fire crossbow guns. “Deal with this, you damn, infuriating sinner!!!” He yelled in complete and utter rage. Dante: “yessh, look like I really got under his skin.” As he looked around and saw the different Angelo Knight types and the weapons they wielded. “Different enemy types? Real RPG level stuff. But I can’t take them on with the chance of Charlie and the others getting hurt.” That when he got an idea. “Okay boys. You wanna play? Then how about a game of tag? But with a small change to the rules. I’m it and you gotta chase me. How that sound? I’m gonna get a head start if that alright with you lot.” As he started to ran towards the city to lure away the angels. “Mind yourself!” As he jumped and stepped on an Angelo Knight head to get past him. Valentine: “what the?!? After him!!!!” He yelled as the Angelo Knights took flight after Dante. “We will not let him escape!!!!” As he put on his helmet, sprouted four armoured wings and chased after Dante. Charlie: “we need to help him!” As she was about to ran and help Dante when she was stopped by Vaggie. “Vaggie, what are you…” Vaggie: “Charlie, it too dangerous! You could get hurt.” Worried for her girlfriend. Charlie: “I have to help him. He facing them on his own.” As she ran after Dante, hoping to help him. Vaggie: “Charlie! Wait!” As she ran after her girlfriend, worried about her. Wrench: “well, since everyone is basically running towards the danger, I’m gonna follow them. I need more footage or else no one will believe this.” Which earned him a scowl from Vixen. “I mean, Dante could use the help, right?” Vixen: “that’s better. Come on!” As she ran after them. Wrench: “I would say you only live once but I don’t think it would work. Still, I think we all should follow as I believe we would miss something if we didn’t. Just saying.” Meanwhile, back at the Morningstar estate, Lucifer was still talking with Imperius about allowing him and his men to search Hell for a sinner. Lucifer: “look, Imperius. It not that I don’t want to help you. It just… Charlie really cares about them and my relationship with her is rocky right now.” Imperius: “I could tell your depress about it.” Lucifer: “depress? Who said anything about me being depressed?” Feeling defensive. Imperius: “Lucifer. I saw the ducky’s. The entire room filled with them.” Lucifer: “oh. Then you know I’m really depressed, right?” Imperius: “oh yes.” Tyreal: “incredibly so.” Credo: “actually thought you be in a bath robe eating ice cream.” Lucifer: “what am I? A Cathy cartoon? Be serious, Credo.” Imperius: “look, I may not know what you’re going through.” Tyrael: “because you and Sera’s are taking it slow?” Imperius: “shut it! Anyway, I may not know what you’re going through but I do know that you should call her. She might miss you too.” Lucifer thought about what Imperius had said when suddenly a servant burst through the door. Servant: “my lord… trouble!” He said out of breath. Lucifer: “what is it?” Servant: “Angels… your daughter… Trouble!!!!!” What the servant said got everyone worried especially Lucifer who worried about his daughter. Just then a loud explosion was heard and everyone in the room turned to see that something was currently happening. Lucifer: “Charlie….” He said with so much worry in his voice. On the rooftops of Pentagram city, Dante was running across the roof when he looked back and fired his hellguns, taking out a total of four Angelo Knights. Dante: “four angels down.” When he looked forward and saw a axe wielding knight swinging his axe at Dante. He suddenly slide under the axe and swung his sword at the knight, decapitating it. “Make that five angels down.” Gomorrah: “you sure it was wise to leave them? I mean, the princess may be nice but I can sense she was powerful, as well as mr Radiohead back there.” He said in Dante head. Dante: “yeah but I didn’t want to put them in any unnecessary danger.” As he reloaded his Hellgun and fired at another group of angels, hitting two in the head and another in the wing. “That not my style. It something my mom told me about my father when I was a kid. How he couldn’t stand by while people were in danger, how he always fought to protect those people.” As he slashed his sword at another Angelo Knight, cutting it in half. Gomorrah: “sounds like a great man. No wonder you ready for a fight.” Dante: “actually you can thank my mom for that. She taught me how to fight in case I ever needed to. Taught me how to fight with swords and such.” As he jumped across the rooftops when he was suddenly tackled mid jump by Valentine. He landed in the middle of the street, leaving a small crater at the impact site. “Damn. I did not see that coming.” As he tried to get up but was still reeling from the pain. Valentine: “THIS has gone on long enough.” As he and the remaining angels landed and Valentine started to walk to Dante to finish him off. “It time I put you in your place, sinner scum.” As he raised his sword ready to strike. Charlie: “NO!!! Don’t hurt him!” Getting between Dante and Valentine. “He didn’t do anything wrong.” Valentine: “didn’t do anything wrong?” He then began to laugh. “This piece of hell filth has killed a squadron of exorcists and knights!” Charlie was shocked by what she had heard and turned to Dante who still struggling to get up. “And it is my duty to execute him!” As he raised once more ready to strike. Imperius: “Valentine!!!” Valentine turned to see Imperius with Tyrael, Credo and Lucifer. “Stand down! That is an order!!!” He yelled with a stern, commanding voice. Valentine: “are you serious?!? We have the demonic slime right in front of me. We can finish this now!!!” Vaggie and the others had just arrived and were shock by what they saw. Vaggie: “Charlie….” Fearing what was going to happen to Charlie. Credo: “you have been ordered to stand down, captain Luke Valentine. And you shall heed your orders. Now!” As he placed his hand on his sword, ready to use it. Valentine: “sorry my lords but my duty to heaven shall always come first. I promise to execute the sinner responsible and any who aided him.” As he raised his sword and roared like a berserker. Vaggie and Lucifer: “Charlie!!!!!” As they both tried to run to her but they wouldn’t make it in time. As Valentine swung his sword at Charlie, she closed her eyes and braced herself. When she heard the sword make contact with something, she open her eyes to see what happened. Just as the sword was about to hit her, Dante had gotten in front of her and taken the hit for her. Charlie: “Dante….” Valentine: “what? When did he-“ he was suddenly interrupted when Dante headbutted him so hard, his helmet broke, revealing his face. He wiped his face noticing the blood on his hand. “You demonic filth! You dare make me-“ he suddenly stopped when he saw a dark shadowy aura completely surrounding Dante. “What is this feeling?” He said with fear in his voice. It wasn’t just him that was filled with fear. Everyone was filled with fear. Charlie, Vaggie, the Hazbin crew, Wrench, Vixen, Lucifer, Imperius, Tyrael, Credo and even the knights and onlooking sinners. Dante: “what was your name was again?” He said with his voice sounding much deeper and demonic. “Duke something, was it?” As his eyes opened, revealing that they were now pitch black with red iris. Valentine: “it’s L-Luke. Luke V-V-Valentine.” He stuttered as he sense something truly monstrous coming from him. Dante: “ah yes, that it. And what was it you said about sinners? That they nothing more then demonic filth? Well, let me show you something truly… demonic!” He growled as his right arm had started to change and grow, turning into a larger version of Gomorrah head. Valentine: “what. The.” As his left leg was suddenly severed off without him even realised it. “HELL!!!!!!” He cried out as the giant demonic T-Rex head ate his severed leg whole, licking it lips and roaring at the one legged angel. “AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” He cried as he tried to hop away from Dante but his other leg was cut off and he landed face first on the ground. He turned around as he saw Dante walking towards him. “What are you? What in the bloody effing nine rings of hell are YOU?!?!” Dante: “oh come now. Where was that high and mighty attitude you had? You merely suffered the loss of your leg.” As he picked the severed leg with his untransformed hand. “Didn’t you say that your duty was to heaven? That you were going to slaughter the inhabitants of the hotel.” As he crushed the leg like it was nothing. “Come on. Hurry! HURRY!!! I’m just getting started!!!” As the shadowy aura dissipated showing Dante once more. But now he was completely differently, his clothing was gone but his body was much larger and more demonic looking with longer, sharper horns, spikes going down his back, claws that could tear a person to shreds and large, fiery wings that could completely cover someone. His eyes were still pitch black with red irises though. Everyone was terrified by what they were seeing. The Angelo Knights were completely paralysed with fear and couldn’t even move. The Hazbin crew were completely terrified by what they were seeing, even Alastor was having trouble keeping his smile up as he never saw anything like this in the entire history of hell. Vixen and Wrench were shocked with what’s going on with the latter still recording everything that was going on. Valentine: “MONSTER!!!!” He cried out which surprised Dante. The shadowy aura covered his body once more and when it dissipated, he was back to his normal look. Dante: “so, you show your true colours. You and other angels act all high and mighty but when you face a foe you can’t beat, you show your true selfs. Your nothing more then a snivelling, useless pile of meat!” Dante said as he was disgusted by Luke Valentine true colours. Valentine: “Shut up! Shut up! You’re nothing more than an animal! You all are! Animals waiting to be put down!” Dante: “SILENCE!!!!” He cried out as Valentine had a sense of pure dread on his face. “So I’m an animal, am I? Well then, guess I’m a… apex predator.” As he ready the Gomorrah head to strike. “And your… the prey.” As the head lunged at Valentine who only scream as the giant t.rex head began to devour him as flesh being torn and bone being crushed could be heard and golden blood splattered all over the ground. When there was nothing left but golden blood, the Gomorrah head dissipated and returned to being his right arm. “Correction: you were the prey.” The angels started to back off with fears gripping them. Few of them even began to drop their weapons. Angelo Knight: “my lord. What do we do?” He asked Imperius who was racked with fear as well. “My lord?” Imperius: “retreat. We cannot win this fight. We must retreat. Now!” As he open a portal to heaven. “This battle, we cannot win it!” As the remaining Angelo Knights and Credo retreat to Heaven. “Tyreal, hurry.” As Tyrael looked at Dante but not with fear. Tyrael: “the dragon of revelation….” He whispered. “It is real.” Imperius: “Tyrael!!!” Knocking Tyrael out of his concentration. “Move it! Now!” As he backed into the portal. Tyrael sprouted his wings and flew into the portal as it closed. Dante: “yes. Run back to the confines of your realm. The second you step out of your high castle, I shall-I shall-“ as his voice and eyes started to go back to normal but out of breath. “I shall… take a nap.” As he fell backwards and fainted from exhaustion. Everyone: “Dante!” As everyone ran up to him. Wrench: “the hell happened? Dude suddenly went demonic super saiyan and the next he fainted. What happened? I feel cheated.” Charlie: “I don’t know. I never seen anything like that before.” Lucifer: “I have.” As he took his coat off and covered Dante body with it. “Whatever he just did, it took all his energy and left rather weakened. It common with first time full demon transformation. We need to get him out of here, especially if he who I think he is.” Charlie: “dad, what are you talking about?” Wondering what her father was talking about. Lucifer: “not here, sweetie. Take him back to your hotel. I gotta make some calls.” As he took out his phone and pulled out his list of contacts, more specifically the other six sins. Meanwhile, in another part of hell, in a darkened room, a door had opened and two male figures entered the darkened room. One was an adult sinner who wore a gray Victorian Era formal suit with a white shirt underneath and a blood red steampunk top hat. He was also wearing blood red trousers, a blood red coat over his suit and a pair of black gloves. The other was an adult human with pale skin, brown eyes, black hair with grey streaks. He was wearing a long light black coat and shirt, grey trousers and black boots. He also had a yellow gauntlet on his left arm. There was a third figure with his back to the other two with a cigar In his mouth and a glass in his right hand. ???: “Jack, Kleiss. What is it you want to tell me?” He said without turning to them. Jack: “apologies master but we have found out something that might be of great interest to you.” The sinner in the Victorian clothes said. “A squadron of Angels were sighting in Hell earlier today, my lord.” ???: “why would that interest me, Jack? You know how much I despise them.” Kleiss: “it was not the angels that were interesting, my lord but who they were after.” The man with the yellow gauntlet said. “I believe it him, my lord. I believe it is your-“ ???: “my son.” He said turning around, finally revealing his face. He looked like Dante but was much older and he had a second set of horns. He also had dark red eyes. “Find him, quick. And bring him here, please.” Jack and Kleiss: “as you wish, master Devlin.” As they both began to leave the room. Devlin: “oh and Jack?” Jack stopping and turning to see what Devlin wanted. “No ripping anyone, please.” Jack: “tch. You earn the nickname in ole London Town and everyone has to tell me not to rip anyone.” As he closed the door. Devlin: “he here.” As he grabbed another cigar and lighted it with his finger. “My son is finally here.” as he began to smoke the cigar before puffing out the smoke which caused the scene to go black. (End Credits) (Well hasn’t this been a rollercoaster of an episode. Just as Dante is getting settled in the hotel. He suddenly attacked by a squadron of rouge Angelo Knights led by captain Luke Valentine. Unfortunately for him, it did not end well as Dante used his new weapons as well as his new strange demonic powers to destroy him and even caused the knights to retreat. But after doing so, Dante faints from exhaustion. What’ll happen next? We’ll see you next time. Also the finale of Hazbin Hotel season 1 will be out tomorrow. Can’t wait!)

Helluva Beginnings - part 1 ???: “Dante…” a voice cried. Dante: “huh? what going on?” As Dante open his eyes to see darkness. That all there seem to be. A sea of never ending darkness. Well, except for a single purple flame. Flame: “Dante…” the flame called as it changed to almost resemble an eye before returning to normal. Dante: “That flame… it calling to me.” As he grabbed the purple flame before a bright light suddenly appeared, blinding Dante. Dante: “what the? What was that?” As he awoke to find himself in an alley.. and with a hellish headache. “Ugh, my head feels like it just went through a tumble dryer.” As he put a claw on his head. … … Dante: “WAIT! WHAT!!!!!” As he suddenly stood up and looked at his claws where his hand would normally be. He then looked at his clothes and body and noticed a huge change. He ran to nearby puddle and used it reflection to check himself. “What the actual hell is going on?!?” As he looked at himself. His body had completely changed. instead of looking like his normal human self, he looked like some sort of demonic dragon. He had blood red scales and a long tail with black spikes along the top of it with a sharp spear end. His wing were large and leathery and his eyes were reptilian like but they were their normal purple colour. His hair was white and spiky as usual except now that there were two horns growing past them with a snake coil pattern on them. His clothes were mostly the same. He was wearing a long red leather jacket with a black inner and a big collar with a skull pinned on the right side, black trousers with a few red stripes on it and a grey shirt underneath the jacket. Dante: “where the hell am I?” As he he peeked out of the alleyway to see where he was. Outside the alleyway, he saw various buildings and people, only the people didn’t look like people, rather they all had different appearances. Some had wings coming out of their hips, others had animalistic traits or appearance and some not even looking organic. That when it dawn on him where he is. Dante: “oh hell. I’m in Hell!” As he noticed people running from something. “What the? What everyone running from?” Just then, a massive explosion occurred as a group of fairly angelic looking people, wearing LED mask and holding weapons, attacking everyone. Dante: “I think I just woke up in a war zone.” Freaked out by what what’s going on. ???: “Dante…” a deep voice said, making Dante turn around but no one was there. Dante: “what the? Who said that?” Freaked out by the mysterious voice. Just then, the angelic looking people finally saw Dante and heading towards him. ???: “Dante… Run!” The voice cried out as Dante noticed the attackers heading towards him. Dante: “figure mysterious voice out later. Run for life now!” As he started to run down the alleyway with the angelic attackers following behind. Dante then turned a corner before noticing an open dumpster and jumping in it. The attackers passing it without a glance. “Now I know how Dr Zoidberg feels.” ???: no! Leave me alone!” A female voice cried out. Dante lifted the dumpster lid slightly to see a few angelic attackers standing over a cyan fox like demoness wearing a grey hoodie and a sleeveless black shirt and long ripped blue jeans. “Leave me alone, you exterminators.” Exterminator 1: “sorry but we can’t let ya go. You have only yourself to blame, little lamb.” As he raised his spear in preparation to kill. Dante: “HEY!” As both the fox demoness and Exterminators turned to see Dante standing there. “Leave her alone.” As he raised his fist ready to fight. Exterminator 1: “well well, what do we have here? Another lowly sinner trying to save another? How droll.” Dante: “sinner? I may not know what I did to end up down here but I do know that it doesn’t give a right to kill anyone down here.” Exterminator 1: “how noble. We’ll be sure to etch it on your tombstone. Kill him.” He told one of the other Exterminator. Exterminator 2: “gladly.” As he ran towards Dante, twirling his spear. As he jumped, he was about to strike Dante with his spear, Dante closed his eyes and cover himself to brace the attack. Just then, a loud cry went out through the city. When Dante open his eyes, he was shocked. The Exterminator spear had broken off and lodged itself in his chest. Exterminator 2: “what the?!? The spear broke off his skin like it was nothing!!!” As he fell backwards with the spear still in his chest and his blood spilling out. When he landed on the floor, he mask turned off, indicating that he had just died. Exterminator 3: “im-impossible!” Exterminator 4: “how did you do that?!?” Dante: “don’t ask me. If I’m being honest, I barely understand what going on.” Exterminator 1: “surrounds him!” As the remaining Exterminators surrounded him. “We’re gonna make you suffer, sinner!” As they all ready their weapons and one even pulled out a pair of guns. Dante: “oh man. I really wish I had a weapon right now.” Just then a purple flame enveloped his hand before growing and turning into the shape of a sword. “What the?” The flames then dissipate, revealing a mythical looking sword. It had a long blade with a dragon head for a hilt with two wings coming out of the sides. Two crimson gems were used for the eyes and a large black gem was in the middle of the hilt with seven different coloured gem’s surrounding it, most likely representing the Seven deadly Sins. “I’ve watched a lot of anime like Demon Slayer and JoJo Bizarre Adventures so I understand this. Ready to dance?” As he ready his sword. Exterminator 1: “kill him!” As the Exterminators charged at Dante, ready to kill him. One of the Exterminators lunged at him but Dante dodged to the side and swung his sword, cutting off the exterminator arms before stabbing him in the chest and kicking him down. Another Exterminator tried to use his spear to strike Dante in the head but he duck and sliced his head off. Another Exterminator was about to shot his guns when Dante grabbed the spear and threw at the exterminator head, killing him instantly. There were only two left. The second to last one ran at him but Dante moved fast and sliced him in two. Now there was only one left: the lead one. Exterminator 1: “you.. you killed my squadron. I’ll make sure you suffer for this.” He said in anger as he ran at Dante, ready to kill him. Dante: “time to finished it.” As he raised his sword and slash at the lead exterminator. The exterminator stumbled backwards, as his blood started to spill out, trying to stay upright. Exterminator 1: “I refuse to lose to a lowly sin-“ however he suddenly cut off by Dante who instantly cut him in half diagonally. He body fell to the ground, lifeless. Dante: “ya get what you deserve, pal.” As the sword turned back into purple flame before transforming into a dragon head necklace with a gem in the middle. He then turned to the fox demoness and went to help her up. “Hey, you alright? My name Dante, Dante Helleborn.” As he held out his hand to the fox demoness. Fox Demon: “yeah thanks.” As she took Dante hand and got up. “I can’t believe what you just did. Did you even know what you just did?” Dante: “yeah I saved your life though I kinda wish I didn’t have to kill anyone but since I’m in Hell, I figured it didn’t matter. What your name?” Fox demon: “Vixen. My friend call me Vix for short. I still can’t believe you managed to kill them. No one in the history of Hell has ever managed to kill a single Exorcist, let alone a group of them, not even on Extermination Day.” Dante: “wait. Exorcist? Extermination Day? I know Hell would be bad but I wasn’t expecting this. How do you even know it over?” Just then a loud bell rung through the city. “Let me guess, that was it?” Vixen: “yeah, so if you like I can buy ya drink. Think of it as a thanks for saving me.” Dante: “that would be nice. Nothing alcoholic though. I’m not that much of a drinker.” Vixen: “not to worry. I know a club that’ll have what you may want.” As she headed down the alleyway to the club she was talking about. Dante was about to follow her but then he saw the Exorcist he killed by throwing the spear at his head. He noticed the angelic looking guns in his lifeless hands. Dante: “well it not like he’ll be needing them anymore.” As he grabbed the pair of handguns and followed Vixen. Later, Dante and Vixen were standing outside the club Vixen was talking about. They were standing outside entrance of the club which were modelled like a pair of green jaws. Green fluorescent lights can be seen popping out of the entrance. Dante: “no way. This is the club you were talking about?” Vixen: “yeah. Klub Kaiju is one of the best club I’ve ever hang out in. Come on, I think you’ll like the place.” They both entered the club and inside, Dante was amazed. The club was filled with patron, had multiple television above the bar, showing various channels. Dante: “this is a pretty awesome Klub. And that Klub with a k.” As he looked around the place. It was then that he noticed some trouble at the bar area. “Though it looks like they’re some trouble at the bar.” Vixen: “what do you mean?” As she turned to see what was going on at the barn… and she immediately facepalm herself. “Oh god, wrench. Not again.” As she saw a bull demon grabbing a sinner. The sinner was wearing punk rock style clothing. He was wearing a black spiked leather mask with an LED visor, a spiked vest with attached patches and pins, a black pentagram hoodie, ripped denim jeans, a red spiked bracelet, black strapped bracelets, and black studded leather sneakers. Dante: “you know that guy?” Pointing at the punk rock sinner. Vixen: “yeah. That Wrench, my… I don’t know if I call us best friends but we’re definitely friends, probably. And it looks like he in trouble… again.” She moaned. As they walked towards the bar, the bull demon lifted Wrench by his collar. Wrench: “hey, come on, man. Ya know I’m good for it. I just need a little more time.” As his LED visor showed a clock and some money before switching to a pair of exclamation points. Bull demon: “sorry, pal. You either pay me now! Or you’re gonna get it!” Just then, Vixen got in between the bull demon and Wrench. A small flame appeared at the tip of her tail. Vixen: “back! Off! Pal!” She growled as she flex her claws. Wrench: “oh, hey Vix. How ya been? I’ve been great.” He said with his visor showing different sized eyes. Vixen: “Wrench. Shut up. I’m dealing with it.” Wrench: “okay.” He said as he duck behind her. Bull demon: “I don’t know what you think you’re doing. But you friend here owes me some money and I’m gonna get it! One way or another I’m getting my money.” As he drew back his fist and Vixen prepared for a fight but Dante suddenly grabbed the bull fist and push him back. Dante: “leave the lady alone, buddy. Or else.” He growled in a deeper voice as a small flame sparked out of his mouth. Wrench: “hey, who the new guy? You’re not replacing me, are ya?” Vixen: “Wrench, calm down. This is Dante, he saved me so I thought I buy him a drink but now we saving your moronic backside.” Tension flared as Dante stared down the bull demon when a sickle suddenly flew past the two and landed on a nearby pillar. Dante turned to see a well dressed person wearing a full black business suit with a red angel wing pin on the left shoulder and a fedora, tinted glass and a bandanna covering his mouth. He was also holding a handheld scythe in his right arm. Wrench: “ohhhh, hey Malthael. How ya hanging?” Malthael: “I’ll deal with you later. As for you, big bull. I suggest you leave my patrons alone.” Bull demon: “or what?” Seconds later, the bull demon was thrown out of the club with Malthael dusting his hands. Malthael: “be thankful I ain’t throwing ya out during the extermination. Now scram before I make ya wish it was the extermination.” As the bull made a run for it and Malthael headed back inside the club and headed towards the bar. “Ya realise I bill you every time I have to throw someone out because of you?” Wrench: “I know, I know. Just give me a dang drink already. The usual please.” Vixen: “same for me please, Mal.” Malthael: “two crimson colas, coming up.” As he grabbed two glass colas bottle from the fridge and placed two cola bottles on the bar counter. “And what what about you, new guy? What you want?” Dante: “I’ll have a cola as well, please.” Malthael: “alright, another cola coming up.” As he placed another cola bottle on the counter. “You’re paying for them, Wrench. And no running out the door!” Wrench: “seriously? Fine!” As he got out his wallet. “Here’s your dirty souls. Sorry they’re so dirty, I dropped my wallet earlier and I haven’t had a chance to clean it yet.” As he pulled some acid green banknote that looked a bit crumbled and a bit dirty. Malthael: “thank you. Enjoy.” As he took the money. Dante: “bottoms up, cheers.” As he opened and raised the cola bottle. Vixen and Wrench: “cheers!” As they did the same. As they drank their colas, Wrench noticed the holy guns Dante had on him and this caused him to spit his cola out. Vixen: “what the? Wrench!” Malthael: “you’re cleaning that up, ya know.” Wrench: “are those what I think they are?” As he leapt like a frog and grabbed the guns from Dante before he even realised it. Dante: “what the heck, dude?” Wrench: “they are.” As he examined the holy guns. “Blessed handguns designed to kill sinners. Look at the graving on the base of the gun. And the barrel of the gun… the barrel of the gun has no gunshot residue. And the magazine clip is still full like it never even got to be used.” As he check the magazine clip and saw all the rounds still there. “Wait. What exactly did Dante save you from?” Vixen: “alright, he saved me… from a group of exorcists, who he killed, very effectively.” This shocked both Malthael and Wrench, with the latter taking another drink of his cola, only to spit it back out. Malthael: “seriously?!? Again?!? Also, you killed a group of Exorcist?!? That’s impossible?” Wrench: “totally! They do the killing and killing them is impossible! That one way to make a mark.” As he took another swig of cola. Dante: “mark? How’d ya mean?” Malthael: “you killed some exorcists so heaven gonna retaliate when they find out. I suggest you best be prepared for when that happens.” Dante: “well this is just great. I’ve been in hell for what? A hour and I don’t even have a place to sleep. How I’m gonna prepare to fight heaven?” As he took the guns back from Wrench. Wrench: “why don’t ya check in at the hotel the princess owns? What it call? The Hazbin Hotel I think?” Dante: “Hell has a princess?” Vixen: “yeah. Princess Charlie, the daughter of big man Lucifer himself. She turned an old building into a place to redeem sinner so they get into heaven.” Wrench: “totally insane. I’m honestly surprised no one has taken advantage of that place by pretending to care.” Dante: “well, I guess I’m checking in to a hotel. I don’t suppose you guys want to join me?” As he finished off the cola and stood up. Vixen: “I guess it could be nice to check the place out. Wrench?” Wrench: “oh what the hell! Beside, I know the best way to the place.” As he jumped off his seat and headed towards the exit with Dante and Vixen. As the trio left Klub Kaiju, Malthael grabbed his sickle from the pillar and began to clean it. Malthael: “he best get ready for heaven retaliation. If I’m right…” As he wiped the sickles blade, Malthael appearance in the reflection was different for a second. His clothes looked more angelic before the reflection returned to normal. “They’ll send their best to deal with him.” Speaking of heaven, the exorcist army has just returned to Heaven where their leader, Adam is currently overjoyed over this years extermination day. Adam: “ha, excellent work this years, boys. We killed a lot of sinner. More than last year I think but we can always improve.” Lute: “don’t you think you’re starting too early, Adam?” Adam: “never too early to start preparing for next year. Need to kept these exorcists on their toes.” ???: “I couldn’t agree more, Adam.” A third voice said. Adam and Lute turned to see two armoured angels. One had armour that was styled like royal knight armor with a hood covering his head and wielded a sword while the other was dressed in cleric like clothing and wielded a staff. “It is always wise to keep on your toes. Though I didn’t wish it was for something like the annual extermination.” Lute: “is that who I think it is?” Adam: “it is. Tyrael, Archangel of Valour and Kent, Archangel of Fate. Those two are members of the High Heaven Council.” Lute: “the highest authority in all of heaven. They don’t answer to anyone.” Kent: “I wouldn’t say we’re the highest authority but we certainly one of the best.” Adam: “what brings you two here?” Tyrael: “Imperium sent us to retrieve the numbers of those slain in today’s extermination. He wishes to compare them to last year, see if there was any improvement.” Adam: “of course, mr tyreal sir. Excuse me for a second.” As he turned to one of the exterminators who was tapping his shoulder. “What do you want?” Exorcist: “sorry, mr Adam sir but I was overlooking the numbers and I’ve noticed an exorcist group was missing.” Adam: “so find them. Idiots must be taking the booze from their victims again.” Exorcist: “that the thing sir. We did find them. It the state they were in that was wrong.” Adam: “what do you me-“ he suddenly stopped as he saw a few angels wheel in gurneys with covered tarps over them. He saw an exorcist hand hanging from one of them. “Is that…? Are they…?” He asked with a hint of venom in his voice. Exorcist: “yes, we found their bodies. It looked like they were fighting someone but we don’t know who.” Adam: “well find out! This will not stand.” Kent: “we should tell Imperious about this.” ???: “that shall not be necessary, Kent.” The angels turned to see Imperius, an angel donned in heavy duty armor that was a cross between a knight and a priest with a cross emblem on his helm and wielding a spear in his right hand. To his right was a cleric looking angel wearing a long gold and white robe with a mask covering his face with his left eye exposed. To his left was a human like angel donned in an angelic white coat with gold trimmings and white pants. He had brown hair and a goatee. He also had a sword at his side. “I already know.” Adam: “Lord Imperius. And lord Amon. It a pleasure to met you.” He turned to the angel on the left of Imperius. “Who this dude?” ???: “I am general Credo, high ranking member of the angelo knights. I have earned the title of the one-winged dark knight, so called because when most see my shadow…” he pulled his sword from it sheath and held it to Adam neck. “It’ll be the last thing they see.” Adam: “oh, that…uhhh… t-that pretty cool.” He said nervously. “Wait, how find out about this?” Exorcist: “I alerted him, sir. I thought it was the wise decision.” Imperius: “it was.” As he walked over to one of the body bags. “Because if this is true, then we must deal with it before it become too much of a problem. General Credo, you shall accompany me into hell so that we might find who did this.” Credo: “yes, my lord.” As he was sheathed his sword and bowed. Tyrael: “allow me to come as well, Imperius. You may need the assistance.” Imperius: “very well then. Credo, summoned the angelo knights. Amon and Kent shall alert the rest of council of what has happened.” As Amon and Kent went to do just that. Credo: “I shall, Lord Imperius.” As he held his hand out as an angelic sigil formed on his hand. “Angels descend!” Just then, the same sigil that was on Credo hand had formed on the ground and slowly began to rise up. As it did, a squadron of 11 knightly angels appeared. The 8 in the backrow wore blue metal armor and had angelic wings on their helms and wielded lances and shield. The two in front had more golden armor and halo on their helms and wielded swords. The one in the front wore a similar armor to the two behind him but he had his helm in left hand, revealing his face which had white hair and bronze eyes. Credo: “captain Luke Valentine, prepare for combat.” Valentine: “yes, general Credo.” As he put his helm on and ready his sword. “For the glory of heaven!” As he raised his sword. Angels: “for the glory of heaven!” As they did the same. Credo: “onward then.” As they ready to head into hell but they were stop by Imperius. Imperius: “afraid it not that easy. The extermination is over for today. If we wish to to find whoever did this, we must pay a cost to an old friend of mine. One of my former students.” As he used his lance to draw a large golden circle in the air. Credo: “you don’t mean… him, my liege?” Knowing who Imperius was talking about. Imperius: “indeed, Credo. We are visiting the king of hell himself.” As the golden circle turned red with a pentagram forming in the middle of it before opening to reveal a portal to hell. “We’re going to see… Lucifer.” As he, Tyreal, Credo, Valentine and the angels knight entered the portal to Hell. Meanwhile, back in Pentagram city, Dante, with the help of Wrench and Vixen, we’re heading to the Hazbin Hotel to at least get a place to sleep. Dante: “so I gotta ask, what the princess like? I’ve never met a royal anyone before and I kinda don’t know how to act around them.” Wrench: “believe it or not, she a really sweet and kind girl. She really cares about the well-being of everyone who lives here in Hell, which is really weird considering she the spawn of Lucifer and Lilith, the king and queen of Hell themselves.” Dante: “so she basically Hell Disney Princess then, is that right?” Vixen: “I wouldn’t put it like that… but yeah that about sums it up. Beside, you’ll be able to find out for yourself, we’re nearly there.” Vixen was right as they had arrived at the hotel. It was a seven-store tall building with many turrets and arched windows. The weird thing about was the various things sticking out. There were remnants of an airship, an ocean liner, a sailing ship and a carousel litter both sides and appear to have been incorporated into the structure of the building itself; there is also a train with some tracks looping the first and second floor exterior. Located on the top right of the building was what appeared to be a small radio broadcasting room. Dante: “whoa, that a crazy looking hotel. Are those train tracks on there?” Wrench: “I know, right. This is the craziest building in this part of hell. So let go in shall we?” As they walked up to the front of the door and Wrench knocked on the door to the tune of shave and a haircut. The door open and there was a small pink-haired cyclops girl wearing a 1950 outfit. Cyclops: “hi, what can I do… for… you….” Her eye trailed upward to see the trio. “Men!” As she immediately hugged Wrench’s leg. Wrench: “gah, help! Get her off me!” As he tried to shake the cyclops girl off of his leg. ???: “Niffty, what’s going on?” A voice called out. Niffty: “Men! There’s men out here! And a foxy woman too!” Still clinging to Wrench’s leg. Vixen: “aw, you really mean that. Thank you.” Blushing at the comments. Arriving at the front door was a demoness with blonde hair and pink cheeks who wore a fitted red tuxedo jacket with dark-red lapels and a pair of red fitted pants. She wears black and white saddle shoes. Dante had a feeling that this girl must be the princess of hell herself. Charlie: “sorry about her, we’re pretty sure she 80% safe, I think.” As she was able to remove Niffty from Wrench’s leg. “again, sorry. I’m Charlie and this is the happ- no wait, I meant Hazbin Hotel. Sorry still getting used to the name change.” Dante: “I’m Dante. Pleasure to met you.” As he held his hand out to shake the princess hand. Charlie: “it a pleasure to meet you too.” Shaking his hand. Vixen: “I’m Vixen. It a pleasure to meet you, your majesty.” She bowed gracefully. “And this weirdo is Wrench.” Wrench: “the needs of the many outway the need of the few.” Doing a Vulcan hand greeting. Dante: “I don’t suppose you have some rooms for us. I just got here and I could use a place to sleep.” Wrench: “he needs a place to sleep. I just wanna check this place out and see if this redemption glitch is actually possible or not. And she here because…. Wait why are you here Vixen?” Vixen: “I’m here to make sure that you don’t somehow get into even more trouble. If that even possible.” Wrench: “how dare you! I may have a streak of getting into trouble but I’m not that bad.” Charlie: “yeah so, would you all like to come inside so we can get you set up?” Dante: “sounds like a plan, thanks.” As they all headed inside the hotel. “Let’s hope this goes well.” He looks around, making sure that no angels are watching them before closing the door. To Be Continued (A/N: sorry for cutting this into separate parts but I was worried this was getting a bit long and I wanted to release this today as a way to celebrate the fact that Hazbin Hotel has finally freaking come after we’ve been waiting 4 FREAKING YEARS FOR IT!!!!

Tourist Trap We once again see our heroes on the road as Hiro, and a kid in a nearby car, are making funny faces at each other. Kiriko: "y'know, I'd warn you that your face might freeze like that, but in your case, it might be an improvement." Omni: “now that would depend on what face he would pull.” The kid in the other car then decides to eat his burger and shows it all chewed up to Hiro. Hiro: "ugh, man. The seafood special. Time to pull out the secret weapon." Hiro bends down so he can't be seen, activates the Omnitrix and transforms into Dreadactyl. He emerges and makes horrifying faces and sounds. The kid is scared out of his wits and screams, prompting his father to look at Dreadactyl. The father is scared too and speeds ahead of the RV. Dreadactyl lies down on the floor and laughs like a hick. Kiriko: “ya know, there is such a thing as 'taking a joke too far', you know." Dreadactyl continues to laugh. He sees that Gwen is about to sit down. Dreadactyl spits a plasma loogie onto her seat and she almost sits on it. Kiriko gasps and grumbles at Dreadactyl. Dreadactyl: "now that's impossible. Funny is funny." Kiriko: "let's see you laugh when you have to clean this up." That shut him up. Dreadactyl: "oh man!" Hanzo: "Hiro, you better get up here." The RV screeches to a halt and Dreadactyl goes sliding to the front. Hanzo: "oh, that's good. You're all ready to go. We got trouble ahead." They see a propane truck has overturned and the truck driver is stuck inside. There is also a fire spreading just outside the truck. The driver: "HELP!" As h e bangs the door. A bystander: "the door's stuck! He can't get out!" The driver: "HELP!" Hanzo: "if that propane he's hauling catches fire, that truck will become a rocket to the moon." Omni: “and they’ll all get fried faster than bacon!” Dreadactyl flies out of the RV and closer to the truck. The flames' intensity increases, making Dreadactyl step back. Dreadactyl: "ugh! Ouch! This is too hot for me!" Omni: “tell me about! Ya need sunscreen to block those flame.” Hanzo: "come on, folks. Give the…. Giant lizard a chance to work." Dreadactyl: "the fire's too intense. Ungh! I wish I was Hotshot…. Hey, that gives me an idea." Dreadactyl takes to the air and he began to use his wings to blow sand at the fire, extinguishing it as fast as he can. He then goes on top of the truck and uses his sharp spear tail to tear the metal off the roof. Dreadactyl uses his hands to create a hole big enough to get the truck driver out. He picks the driver up and flies away. Dreadactyl safely drops the driver down as he screams in fear. Dreadactyl: "heh, and that how you saves lives." The kid from earlier tugs at his father The kid: "AAAH! That's the monster that ate that kid!" Dreadactyl: "er, wow, look at the time. Gotta fly!" Dreadactyl flies away from the scene. Once he transforms back to normal, the RustBucket picks him up, and the Hamanda’s continue along the road and approach a specific location. Kiriko reads out the signs on the roadside. Kiriko: "'you'll have a ball with IT! Next exit.'" Hiro: "come on, Grandpa. At least give us a hint of what 'IT' is." Hanzo: "uh-uh. No hints. I've been planning this stop all summer! I loved to go there when I was a kid." Omni: “I for one am quite interested in seeing what 'IT' is.” They reach their destination a few minutes later. Hanzo walks out of the RV, and he takes care of some things outside, and then opens the door of the RV. Hanzo: "now, both of you, close your eyes." Hiro and Kiriko close their eyes with confused expressions and walk out of the RV. Hanzo: "okay, open 'em up! Ta-da! Welcome to Sparksville!" Hiro and Kiriko open their eyes and see the huge billboard advertising the town. They glance at the seemingly quiet and mundane town and its various stores and attractions that litter the place. Hanzo: "haha, is this place great or what? Hiro: "uh…. I'll go with; 'or what?'" Kiriko: "one of the times I agree with you, Hiro." Hanzo: "come on! What's more exciting than the world's biggest fish bowl?" They look at the fish bowl. Hiro: "um, everything." Omni: “and some fishbowl. I doubt it even hold the kraken.” Kiriko: "who's that?" A man in a blue suit and monotone expression approached them. Man: "hello there. My name is Earl. And welcome to Sparksville. And as the mayor of Sparksville, I welcome you, as seekers of wonder." He said in a monotone voice. The Hamanda look at Earl strangely for a short while, wondering just how many times he had said that to speak so bored. Hanzo looked at Hiro and Kiriko. Hanzo: "I know you guys are probably excited to see 'IT.' So, I'll go check us in." Hanzo gives them a ticket each and walks away. Hiro and Kiriko look at each other and shrug. Ben and Gwen go to an exhibit named, "The Jack-A-Lope." Omni: “hey, that animal, the jack-a-lope resembles the natural prey of Wendighost species.” Hiro rings the bell at the ticket booth. Hiro and Kiriko are surprised to see Earl walk out as the ticket collector. Earl: "tickets, please." Hiro: "I thought you were the mayor?" Hiro and Kiriko give their tickets to Earl. Earl: "he who wears the crown is burdened by many hats, son. Mind the signs." Hiro and Kiriko walk in, hoping that at least one of these attractions would be worth it. Hiro and Kiriko take various pictures, including in front of the jackalope building with Omni growing a pair of antlers out of his head, an 'American Gothic' painting cutout, a planetarium in which an employee is replacing the "sunlight" bulb, a giant house of cards, a giant hot-dog, Hiro getting sprayed with ketchup and mustard, Kiriko getting a hot-dog tossed at her, Hiro wearing jackalope horns and Kiriko wearing googly-eye glasses, the world's largest fishbowl, with Hiro and Kiriko pretending to be fish and Omni forming his head into a giant clam, them sitting on a bench bored and an, IT is this way', sign. They arrive at the barn with a sign that said, 'IT's Here' Earl is standing there. Earl: "through these doors lies the weirdest, wildest thing ever to find its way to Sparksville." The door opens and they enter. There is ominous darkness and various signs light up. Hiro and Kiriko read them out. Hiro: "please tell me this is 'IT.' because I can't stand, 'IT', anymore. 'Do not touch IT!'" Kiriko: "do not photograph it!" Hiro and Kiriko: "'do not use batteries or electrical equipment anywhere near IT!'" The light returns as Hiro and Kiriko see a huge sign reading: "THIS IS IT." Hiro and Kiriko look on as the sign moves away and reveals…. A giant rubber-band ball. Hiro: "... This is 'IT?'" Kiriko: "IT's a big ball of rubber bands!" Omni: “new levels of lameness, I say.” Earl: "and who knows what secrets lie within." He spoke in a monotone suspenseful voice. Hiro: "uhh, more rubber bands?" Earl: "stay as long as you like. Mind the signs." Earl walks away, leaving the kids to stare at such an underwhelming sight. Hiro: "look at this place. Laaaame. These guys are full of 'IT.' We've been punked!" Kiriko: "it is pretty lame. I can't believe Grandpa was so excited about this place. Maybe back then this whole place was cool, but now, it completely lame and dull." Ben smiles and walks closer to the ball. Kiriko: "uh oh. I know that look, Ben. What're you thinking?" Hiro goes behind the ball. He transforms into Steeljaw and lifts up the ball. Steeljaw: "one good prank deserves another. Don't ya think?" Kiriko: "hmm, ya know what? For once, I agree with you. Got something special in mind?" Steeljaw: "I don't know. Maybe…. The world's biggest booger?" Kiriko laughs as he juggles the ball rather confidently. Kiriko: "woah! Careful, dweeb! You'll drop it!" Steeljaw: "ha! Not a chance! I could lift this thing with one hand tied behind my-" Steeljaw tries to hold the ball in one arm but he ends up losing the balance and the ball bounces off. Kiriko gets out of the way as the ball bounces off the floor and through the roof. Kiriko: "aah-AAAAAH!" Steeljaw: "um…. Oops." Omni: “runaway ball of rubber! Runaway ball of rubber!!!!” The ball continues to bounce after it leaves the barn. It knocks over several exhibits and crushes a food cart. Kiriko and Steeljaw ran out and Steeljaw was able to slow the ball down when it bounced towards him. But the ball bounces away again and knocks over the house of cards and eventually stops. Steeljaw goes down on his knees as Kiriko slaps him on his shoulder. Steeljaw: "OW! What was that for?" Kiriko: "oh, just for turning me into a criminal!" Steeljaw: "don't get your shorts in a twist.” He walks closer to the ball. "I'll just put everything back the way it was. No problem." The Omnitrix times out and Steeljaw changes back into Hiro. Hiro: "... okay. Maybe a little problem." Kiriko facepalms as Hiro leans against the giant ball, causing a small charge from the Omnitrix to be drawn into the ball, unbeknownst to Hiro, Omni and Kirko. Kiriko: "what are we going to tell Grandpa?" Hiro: "nothing. We just play dumb." Kiriko: "that's easy for you. You're a lot better at it than I am." Hiro: "ugh, at times like this, I wish I could control time." Kiriko: "if only there were an alien that could do that…." Omni: “you haven’t seen a chronosapion then.” He said under his breath. Later, Kiriko and Hiro enter the motel through a door that appears to be a big mail slot. Inside, it appears that the entire room has been turned on its side, including the beds and the door. Hanzo: "hey, there you are. Isn't this place a riot?" Kiriko:"why? What'd you see? We don't know anything about it." Hiro: "uh, she means it's…. Great, Grandpa. Can't wait to check out the bathroom!" Back at the rubber-band ball, the charge has spread all over the surface. A small electric bolt escapes from it and starts to circle the power lines and exhibits. It then puts a hole through the welcome sign for the town. The bolt then reveals itself to what appears to be a black and yellow creature, almost like a living battery. It laughs maniacally and zips away. Hiro, Omni and Kiriko are sleeping, while Hanzo is just outside, looking at the carnage the rubber band ball caused. Hanzo: "what the heck happened here?!" Hiro and Kiriko wake up and fall out of bed in fright. Omni: “I’m innocent! It was the two armed Tetramand that did it!” Kiriko: "ah. He knows everything. We are so busted. We have to come clean and tell Grandpa everything." Hiro: "sometimes it's hard to believe you're really a kid. Never admit anything, until you absolutely have to. Got it?" Hanzo: "Hiro Long Hamanda. Kiriko Haruka Hamanda. Get out here. Now!" Hiro and Kiriko seem terrified. Hanzo used their full names, which for any kid, was a sign of doom. Kiriko "gulp, Haryka? We're doomed!" Hiro: "no duh." Omni: “well it was nice knowing ya both!” Hiro and Kiriko come outside and see that the entire place has been trashed, far more than what Steeljaw had caused. Hiro: "Whhoooaa! What happened?" Hanzo: "I don't know. Looks like a tornado tore through here overnight." The people of Sparksville look on at the destruction. Hiro: "good- I-I mean…. Yeah. It was just one of those freaky nature things. Right, Kiriko?" Kirko nods, trying to look innocent. Earl walks up to them. Earl: "I think it's pretty clear who's responsible for these juvenile acts." Hanzo: "juvenile acts?" Hanzo looks at Ben and Gwen. “Huh, if I didn't know better, that sounds like-" Earl: "oh, I'm not talking about these youngsters." Hiro, Kiriko and Hanzo: "you're not?!" Hiro and Kiriko nervously smile as Hanzo looks at them suspiciously. Hanzo: "yeah, well, if they didn't do it…. Who did?" The little creature arrives and zips around Hiro and Kiriko, making silly poses and faces, and pulls Kiriko's shirt over her head. It taps on Hiro's shoulder to get his attention. It makes intimidating expressions while Hiro simply looks on. The creature zips away. Hiro: "what was that?" Earl: "Megawhatt." Hiro: "Mega - what?" Earl: "exactly. Normally wrapped up tight inside of IT…. That is, until last night.” Hiro and Kiriko look at each other. “Some say it might be a ball of lightning come alive. Others think it's static cling run amok. Tough to say." Kiriko: "maybe it's an alien." Earl: "alien? That's just plain kooky talk." The Hamanda's all glance at one another. Omni: “they’re actually called Nosedeenian, electric aliens that are more commonly known as the prankster of the galaxy. There is no joke they won’t take too fair.” Near a soda machine, the Megawhatt sees the chance to cause even more trouble. It enters the machine and causes it to tremble. Hiro: "what's it doing?" Earl: "it eats electricity. The more it gobbles, the more powerful it gets. Just like my mother…." The Megawhatt causes the machine to fire canned drinks. Hiro, Kiriko and Hanzo try to avoid getting hit while Earl calmly stands. Earl: "it's also got a dangerous sense of humor." The barrage continues, and the four take cover from a nearby overturned car. Hanzo: "you left that thing inside a rubber-band ball all this time? Isn't that kind of dangerous?" Earl: "not so long as people minded the signs." He looks at Hiro and Kiriko. Hiro and Kiriko look at each other for a moment. Hiro: "alright, we did it! We're guilty!" Kiriko: "so much for 'admit nothing'!" Hanzo: "we're gonna talk about this later, you two. But, for now, how do we stop this thing, Mr. Mayor?" Earl: "whatchu mean; 'we?' You let it out, you catch it." He sits back and chews on a straw. The Megawhatt continues to cause mayhem. A few moments later, Hanzo, Hiro and Kiriko walk through Sparksville in search of the mischievous little alien. Kiriko: "should we try to lure it out with some batteries or something?" The Megawhatt slowly zips across an electricity cable over them. It sneaks up behind Hanzo and gives him a wedgie, literally lifting him off the ground, struggling with his weight. Omni: “a wedgie? Now that just plain juvenile… and a classic.” Hanzo: "AAAAGH! That's not funny! Oh, it's just painful." Hiro: "don't worry, Grandpa. I know just the hero to deal with a troublemaker like this!" Hiro transforms into Techjack. Kiriko: "why go Techjack?" Techjack: "it's complicated. You wouldn't understand." Behind them, the Megawhatt drops Hanzo. Kiriko: "the watch didn't let you change into what you wanted it to, did it?" Techjack: "shut up! I've seriously gotta figure out that glitch." Omni: “I’m still working on it!” The Megawhatt continues to cause havoc on the other exhibits. He makes the world's largest ketchup bottle overflow like a volcano. The top of the bottle then cuts the head off a giant chicken. The Megawhatt laughs as Techjack rolls up on the rubber ball. Techjack: "okay, twinkle toes. It's time to go home!" Techjack sends pieces of rubber-band flying in every direction, which causes even more damage. People run away, frightened. Kiriko: "um, hey, doofus! Whose side are you on?!" Earl: "is it just me, or is there a lot of excitement today?" He simply eats popcorn as the carnage goes on. The Megawhatt laughs at the damage Techjack has done and mocks him. Techjack, angered, accidentally fires a laser. The Megawhatt manages to dodge it at the last moment. Techjack: "whoa! That's new. Not so funny now, is it?" The Megawhatt continues to laugh and takes off. Techjack chases the Megawhatt, though it proves to be too fast to hit. The Megawhatt zips all around the street. Techjack attempts to get a hold of the Megawhatt but it dodges. Techjack finally manages to grab it while it was mocking him, but he gets shocked by the Megawhatt. Techjack: "UNGH!" He goes hurtling back as the Omnitrix glows yellow with a strange symbol on it for a moment before he crashes down. Techjack: "okay. Do not touch the electrical guy when you're made of living metal." Hanzo: "how are we gonna ground that electric devil?" Kiriko gets an idea. Kiriko: "Grandpa, you're a genius!" As she runs away Hanzo: "well, thank you, Kiriko…. Why?" Techjack continues chasing the Megawhatt around the town. Techjack: "that's it! I'm pulling the plug on this guy's pranks.” He picks up a sewer lid. “Hey, sparky, catch!" Techjack throws the lid at it. The lid cuts the Megawhatt in half, though it regenerates into two separate Megawhatts. Techjack is surprised, while the two Megawhatts laugh at each other. Techjack: "oookay. So that wasn't the best idea." The Omnitrix times out and Techjack turns back into Hiro. The Megawhatts attack Hiro as Hanzo and Kiriko arrive in a truck carrying the world's largest thermometer. They pick Hiro up. Hiro "Grandpa, what're you doing?" Hanzo: "we're giving these sparklers a science lesson they won't forget!" Hanzo drives and the Megawhatts chase the truck. Kiriko: "hey, mega-weirds! Come and get us!" KIriko shifts a gear, releasing the large thermometer into the ground vertically. The Megawhatts crash into the thermometer and get grounded. Hiro: "woah! What happened?" Kiriko: "we just used the biggest thermometer as a lightning rod. Who needs an alien superhero when you've got good old-fashioned brainpower?" Earl: "'Course, the ground is basically just one big conductor." Hiro: "uh, does that mean I think it means?" Kiriko: "oh, no. It means the Megawhatts are just zipping around underground until they find some way to get back to the surface." Various telephones start to ring all around town. The group looks on anxiously. Hanzo: "they're in the underground phone lines." The Megawhatts emerge out of the telephones, multiplying greatly in number. The Megawhatts zip around all things containing electricity, including vehicles and power lines. A Megawhatt maniacally laughs in front of the crowd of people and zips away. Woman: "uh-oh. Now they really did it." Hiro smirks at Kiriko. Kiriko: "Hiro, don't you dare say a word." Hiro, "hey, I'm just glad I wasn't the one who screwed up this time." A small explosion occurs and Hiro smiles. Kiriko is distraught at this change of events. All of the Megawhatts appear on the giant hot dog exhibit and laugh at once, producing a sonic scream. Everybody except Earl covers their ears. The sonic scream breaks the glass containing the world's largest toothpicks causing them to fall towards the crowd. Hanzo sees this and runs, alerting everybody else. Hanzo: "everybody, move!" All of them run away, except Earl. The toothpicks land all around him. Earl: "there goes the world's largest toothpicks. Oh, the humanity." He said in a monotone voice again. And he just eats some more popcorn. The Megawhatts laugh, then scatter. Hanzo: "those creeps' idea of good, clean fun is gonna have us all pushin' up daisies before the end of the day." Kiriko: "Hiro, don't just stand there. Dial up some help." Hiro started fiddling with the Omnitrix. Hiro: "duh! Like I haven't been trying!" One of the Megawhatts seems to be commanding the other Megawhatts in their language. They collectively zip away. Ben starts scratching his head and says, "uhh, where'd they go?" Max, "I don't know. But I don't think it's good." An explosion occurs in one of the shops. The Megawhatts appear to have taken over the planetarium exhibit. It has a humanoid shape, sparkling with electricity and walks away. The woman from earlier walks up to the group. She says, "well, there's somethin' you don't see everyday. They brought that planetarium exhibit to life." Max, "come on, we'll head it off in the-" They see that the Megawhatts have removed the tires of the Rust Bucket and written; "U AM LAME", on the side, as well as smiley faces drawn all over it. Max, "oh, come on!" Ben, "'U am lame?' That's weak." Gwen, "and don't even get me started on the grammar and the spelling." Earl, "I reckon they'll head for the big hydroelectric dam to power up. After that, they'll just wipe out the next town and so on and son on. They think it's funny. Yup. Megawhatts got a real twisted sense of humor." Gwen, "can't you sound more worried?" Earl simply makes his eyebrows go higher as he says, "we're all gonna die, eeeeh." Gwen looks around. Ben and Gwen observe the largest fish bowl and smile. Gwen, "are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Ben, "yeah. Let's beat those pranksters at their own game." Ben raises his arm in front of his face and the Omnitrix dial pops up. At the dam, the humanoid planetarium is busy trying to smash through the dam. A column of flame then engulfs it. The planetarium walks back and looks up to see Hotshot on top of the dam. Hotshot: "this is your only warning. Knock off the funny business or I'll fry your twinkling butts from here to kingdom come!" The planetarium hits the dam hard, causing it to crack and leak water. The tremor shakes Hotshot. He hops and runs downwards. He seems to trip and inadvertently creates a flaming fireboard and rides on it. Approaching the ground, he jumps off the board. He is rather surprised and impressed by his newfound ability. Hotshot: "heheheheh.” He turns around and sees the cracks on the dam. “Better seal that up, fast." Hotshot runs towards the dam. Some distance behind him, the planetarium gets up and moves to the turbines absorbing the energy. Near the turbines, a large tarp covering a sphere-shaped object can be seen. As the giant planetarium approaches the turbines, Hotshot arrives, riding another fireboard. He seems confident and getting the hang of his ability as he approaches the planetarium. But Hotshot loses control of his fireboard and crashes into a nearby wall. He goes down on his knees, dazed. The planetarium walks closer and hits him away. Hotshot feels dizzy and falls down, groaning. The planetarium looks on. Kiriko: "hey, mega-wimps! You wanna see something really funny? You guys are all wet!" Kiriko sprays water at it with a hose to annoy it. Kiriko runs away as the planetarium tries to punch her. Behind the planetarium, Hotshot recovers and makes a large fireball. Hotshot, "hey, what's the matter? Can't take a joke?" Omni: “ain’t that ironic!” Hotshot throws the fireball at the planetarium, obliterating it. The Megawhatts zip out of the structure. Hotshot: "you really got burned with that one. You guys should really quit while you're behind." The Megawhatts try to attack Hotshot, but he disappears in a cloud of smoke. He immediately reappears near the tarp. Hotshot: "missed me, doofus!" Hotshot waves and blows kisses at them while Omni shook his buttocks at them. The Megawhatts are annoyed and attack recklessly. Hotshot gets inside the tarp and the Megawhatts follow him in. Hanzo and Kiriko appear from behind the tarp. Hanzo: "Hiro did it! They took the bait!" Hanzo pulls the tarp off, revealing the largest fish bowl, filled with the Megawhatts inside. Hotshot shows up and breathes fire like a dragon. He completely seals up the bowl by melting the top. The Megawhatts are trapped inside. Hotshot: "na-Na!" Omni: “ya stupid 8-volts are dimmer than a box of rocks!” He blows raspberries to taunt the Megawhatts as they growl in rage! Hanzo: "nice touch using that fish bowl. With non-conductive glass sealed up tight, sparky and his pals won't be going anywhere, any time soon. Kiriko: "once again, science saves the day." The Omnitrix times out and Hotshot turns back into Hiro. Hiro: "with a little help from science fiction." Later, back at the town, the workers are busy getting everything back to normal. Earl and the Hamanda stand in front of an object covered by a tarp. Earl: "you folks done right by us." Hanzo: "I hope this adventure wasn't a big setback for Sparksville." Earl: "more like a giant step forward. What, with our new attraction, soon we'll be raking 'em in." Earl removes the tarp to reveal a giant light bulb. Earl: "the world's biggest light bulb! It'll be a humdinger." It is revealed that the light bulb is powered by the Megawhatts who are trapped inside. Earl: "so long as folks mind the signs." He bends closer to Hiro and stares at him before he walks away. They see a sign in front of the light bulb. Hiro: "'in case of emergency, do not break glass.'" Hiro shrugs, seeing the point of the signs now. The Hamanda walk back towards the Rust Bucket. Hiro: "sigh, I think I'm pranked out for a while." Hanzo: "there is a time and a place for a practical joke." Hiro stares at Hanzo, blank, and opens the RV's door. A bucket of water falls over him. Hanzo: "hehe, but funny is funny. Especially when it's not on you." Hiro heaves a sigh as Kiriko and Hanzo laugh at him. Soon, the Hamanda's are back on the road. As Hiro and Kiriko sat across from one another, and Hiro dries himself off, he thinks back to the shock he got from the first Megawhatt. Hiro activated the watch, and as he looked through the cycle, he saw the small silhouette of the battery aliens! Hiro: "woah! I got a new alien!" Hanzo and Kiriko: "what?!" Omni: “we must have inadvertently unlocked the DNA capture protocol but how?” As he stroked his chin. Hiro: “it must have been when the first Megawhatt shocked the watch while I was Techjack, I guess it unlocked them or something. So I can collect alien DNA now, huh? An alien with electricity could come in handy. Now it needs a name. Hmm…. How about; Megavolt!" Kiriko: "certainly fits." Omni: “I love it!” Hanzo: "well, hopefully we can see Megavolt in action. And maybe more aliens?" Hiro: "we'll see…." Omni: “oh, I wish it was unlocked when those bounty hunters attacked us. Imagine, us with an alien like SixSix in our arsenal!” And with that, our group was back on their trip…. ——————————————————————— Well, wasn’t this episode a bit of a “shocker” (sorry couldn’t resist the obvious pun) and now, Hiro has a new alien: the Megawhatt/Nosedeenian alien, Megavolt!!! What over aliens will he unlock? Well that for me to know and for you lot to read and find out. See you next week. (Thank heaven for Transcript!)

The Hunted We see four alien men lined up on Zemerik's ship. All four of them have a rather strange appearance. First there was Kraab, who looked like a robotic crab man. Next was SixSix, a purple armored warrior with a variety of weapons at his disposal. Then there was a lizard like alien who scales are a combination of sand tan and pale red. He wore a large cowboy hat which covered most of his upper head while a mask covered his lower half. He had a long tail with black spike pointing out the back of it. He had two futuristic guns on his holster with the left being style after a six-shooter while the right had four barrel which shot shotgun slugs. He also had two curved blades for close range combat. His name is Stryker. And the last one is nameless for now, in black armor with a single green light for the eyes. Bounty hunters, all four of them. They are at some form of audition that Zemerik is holding. They hear Zemerik through an intercom. Zemerik: "begin the audition." In the blink of an eye, all four hunters are attacked by various attack drones. Each showed off their amazing skills. SixSix was proficient in guns and various gadgets, Kraab with melee, (especially with his giant claw), Stryker shot both his guns at the drones and then threw a grenade at a larger drone before finishing it off with his shotgun pistol, destroying it and the last one with seemingly both hand to hand combat and weapons. Within a few minutes, all of the drones were left as a sparking metal mess on the ground. Stryker: “well, that was a little easy, don’t ya think?” He said jokingly. Zemerik: "impressive. You are all hired. Your objective is to retrieve the Omnitrix; the most powerful weapon in the galaxy. The one who succeeds collects the reward. Do not disappoint me…." Hanzo has just finished building an obstacle course for Hiro to train in. Hanzo: "you ready Hiro?" Hiro transforms to CrystalKnight in the familiar green light. CrystalKnight: "oh, yeah." Hanzo: "remember to think out there, Hiro. Don't just try to muscle your way through this. Might isn't always right." CrystalKnight: "I know, but it's always fun." Omni: “on that, I agree.” Shifting his body to make it look like he has muscles. “Like what ya see, lady’s?” As he began to flex, only for his muscles to disperse instantly. CrystalKnight trains, managing to speed through the obstacle course at first. Kiriko was watching. Kiriko: "heh, show-off." Hanzo: "focus, Hiro. Think before you act!" CrystalKnight: "don't worry, grandpa. I've got this!" Omni: “cans, incoming! Six o’clock!” As he pointed at some cans heading towards them. He avoids some large cans but gets hit by one of the courses swinging tires and as a result; sends shards flying everywhere. Kiriko screams and avoids the shards but gets sunscreen on her head. Kiriko: "ugh. Great job, dweeb." CrystalKnight: "oops, hehe, my bad." As he laughed sheepishly. Later, they were riding along the road once more. Fujin was perched on Kiriko's shoulder. She had seemingly forgiven the parakeet, (not parrot), for the events in DC, since their violent actions were caused by what Animo did to them. Kiriko: "you rock-head, you almost turned me into Swiss cheese back there!" Hiro: "I said I was sorry. What else do you want from me?" Hanzo: "what we want is for you to take that thing on your wrist more seriously, Hiro. It's not a toy. It's a highly advanced alien device that we don't fully understand yet. You've got to think when you use it." Hiro "I know, but come on! You guys have seen me in action. I'm the baddest Hiro in any town we go to.” he puts his feet on a table, in front of Kiriko. “I've kicked so much butt, my feet hurt from it all." Kiriko pushes Hiro's feet away. Kiriko: "yeah, well, one of these days, you're gonna mess up and get your own butt kicked. And I hope I'm there to see it." Hiro: "dream on, geek face." Hanzo then hears the car sputtering. Hanzo: "uh-oh, that doesn't sound good." We see the hunters arrive at the obstacle course. The black armored one is on a hoverboard (let refers to him as Hoverboard for now) and turns off the tracker they have. Hoverboard: "this is where the Omnitrix was last activated." SixSix says something in their own language beside Kraab. Kraab: "you can say that again. A rock pile like this is better off as space dust." Stryker: “I don’t know. I quite like this planet. Reminds me of my home planet. Nice vibrant ecosystem and a thriving species.” SixSix turns towards Hoverboard and begins growling at him in his native tongue. Hoverboard: "I ain't backing down to the likes of you." Looks like they both wanted to find the Omnitrix first. Kraab: "whoa! Big talk from a gear-head." Hoverboard: "get in my way again, and I'll teach you how to say 'dismantled.’” As they both pulled their guns and aim them at each other. Stryker: “hold on now. No need to go all guns blazer…right now. Let find the watch first and then we can tear each other a new one, alright? That sound fair? Kraab?” Kraab: “seems fair enough.” Stryker: “Hoverboard? You alright with that?” Hoverboard: “fine.” As he puts his gun away. Stryker: “Six?” SixSix just said something in his language. Stryker: “good. Now then, let ride.” As he pulled a long stick which then transformed into a motorcycle. All four run off to find their target. The Omnitrix and whoever wields it. We see the RustBucket outside of a place called Slaterville. Hiro: "huh, looks like nobody's home." Kiriko: "not for a while. I looked at my online map. This place is called; Slaterville. Incorporated in 1857 after the discovery of silver. Went bust in the late fifties when the mine ran out." Hiro: "why does everything out of your mouth sound like a book report done by the nerdiest nerd in the world?" Omni: “ohhhh, nerd roast. Boom!” He grins when Kiriko scowls. Hanzo finds the problem. Hanzo: "aha! I think I found the problem." He shows the fuel line. The leaky fuel line…. with one of CrystalKnight shards sticking out of it. Hiro: "uh…. Lucky shot?" Omni: “a very lucky shot I might add.” Hanzo: "I should be able to patch it up." Hanzo: "sorry, grandpa. Let me help.” He activates the Omnitrix. “Maybe Steeljaw can help you lift the RustBucket. No, wait, Techjack could merge with it!" Hanzo: "I think you've done enough for one day, Hiro. I'll handle this." Hiro: "sigh, okay. Guess I'll just check this place out. Maybe I'll find something cool." Omni: “yell if you need us.” Hiro goes into the town. Hanzo looks at Hiro in doubt. Hanzo: "Kiriko, uh, maybe you should, uh…." Kiriko: "... Make sure he doesn't somehow blow everything up?" Hanzo: "you're right on the money." Kiriko: "I'm on it." Ben goes inside a large storage area. He looks inside at all of the abandoned equipment in the storage room. Hiro: "woah, talk about old school. Look at all this junk. Wonder what it must have been like, seeing this stuff actually work." Omni: “I know right? It would have been amazing.” From outside, he hears Kiriko yelling. Kiriko: "Hiro? Hiro!" Hiro grows a slightly evil grin as he activates the watch and transforms in the familiar green light. We see outside, Kiriko is looking for her cousin. Kiriko: "calling all dweebs!" As she searches for Hiro, she shivers when Spectgrim passes through her. Kiriko: "Hiro!" Spectgrim: "what's the matter, Kiriko? You look like you've seen a ghost….or rather a Spectgrim!! Hahahaha!" Kiriko: "get over yourself, doofus. You don't scare me.” that's when she sees Kraab bursting out from the ground in front of them. "but he does!" Spectgrim: "no problem, I'll handle this guy.” he flies to Kraab. “Oh, man…. You put the 'ugh' in ugly!" Omni: “I say he more like the reject from the seafood buffet of a steampunk theme restaurant.” Kraab: "hand over the Omnitrix and I promise you won't suffer…. Much." Spectgrim: "dream on, claw-boy.” he moved his eye to the back of his head to look at Gwen. “He wants the watch." He whispered. Gwen: "thank you Captain Obvious." Spectgrim: "you don't have to get snotty about it, Miss know-it-all.” He looks back at Kraab. “Sorry, crabby, the watch and I are kind of…. Attached. And it won't come off." Omni: “it like trying to get polymorph gunk out of a shag carpet. It impossible to remove.” Kraab: "not for long." Kraab's claw snaps open and shut, getting the message across. Spectgrim: "you have no idea who you're messing with, buddy." Kraab: "I was just about to say the exact same thing to you, freak." Spectgrim: "it's Spectgrim to you, lobster boy. And let me ask ya this; do you know this one? Now you see me, now you don't!" He becomes invisible, making a dash around Kraab in order to get the drop on him. Kiriko laughs nervously and runs away, hiding behind some old mining equipment. Kraab finds Spectgrim using a sensor he has built in. Kraab: "you're as arrogant as you are dim-witted." He shoots an orange substance at Spectgrim, making him become visible. Spectgrim: "blech! What the heck happened?!" Kraab: "your protoplasm is now solidified, making it easier to do…. THIS!" He punches Spectgrim, leaving a slight scratch on their face from the impact! Spectgrim keeps getting hit by Kraab, over and over again until he gets knocked to the ground. Kraab nearly gets his claw around Spectgrim neck if it weren't for him dodging. Spectgrim: "oh, man…. Who is this guy?" Omni: “whoever he is, he packs a mean wallop.” He said dazed from the hits. Kiriko pokes her head out from behind a crate. Kiriko: "I don’t know! Remember when I said I wanted to be there when you finally got your butt kicked? I take it way back! You're the superhero; do something before he chops you up!" Spectgrim flies to Kraab, trying to punch him. Spectgrim: "you better keep your claws to yourself." Kraab once again gets the upper hand as he backhand Spectgrim into a wall, and starts punching them over and over again. Kraab has managed to overpower Spectgrim! Kraab: "you're hardly worth the hunt. The boss over exaggerated your abilities." Kiriko sees a nearby lift. Kiriko: "Hiro, give him a lift!" She yells. Spectgrim sees the lift and moves as fast as he can. He works the controls and uses the lift to trap Kraab. Kraab desperately beat against the large mining claw he was trapped under. Kiriko: "Hiro, you okay?" Spectgrim flies forward and transforms back into Hiro in front of his cousin. Hiro: "oh, man…. That was even weirder than when I normally go Spectgrim." Kiriko: "come on. Let's get out of here before Crab Cake wakes up." Hiro: "for once, I agree with ya!" The two run as fast as they can back towards the RustBucket, unaware of Stryker who was watching everything in secret. Stryker: “heh, kid tougher than he looks. No wonder Zemerik hired those three to retrieve it…. And why I got to get to it first.” As he twirled his guns around. Hiro and Kiriko get back to Hanzo a few minutes later. Hanzo: "kids? What happened?" Kiriko: "you know, the usual. Some jumbo-sized crustacean burst out of the ground and attacked Hiro. It said it wanted the watch. It somehow knew the name; 'the Omnitrix.'" Hiro looks at the Omnitrix. Hiro: “just let me go all Steeljaw, and I'll turn him into a Seafood Special in five seconds." Hanzo: "there's no time. The repairs are done. We're out of here." Hiro: "but grandpa-" Hanzo: "no buts. We need to be smart about this." There was no argument. The trio got back into the RustBucket and drove off. Kiriko looks out for Kraab through the window as Fujin is perched atop one of the bunk beds, shaking as they felt trouble was right around the corner. Kiriko: "no sign of that crab guy just yet." Hiro: "well, he better not show up if he knows what's good for him. I'm not letting him get the upper hand this time." Suddenly, they all hear a loud noise outside of the RV. Hiro: "what the?" Omni: “now what?” Kiriko: "what's that noise?" Hanzo: "sounds like a…. Power saw?" Omni: “oh now be serious. Why would a power saw be all the out here.” Kiriko then sees a saw cutting through the steel of the ceiling. Omni: “okay, I’ll give you that one.” Kiriko: "I think we just picked up a hitchhiker!" Hiro: “ya think?” A small hole is made that SixSix looks through! Hiro and Kiriko scream at the sight. Kiriko: "who's that?!" Hiro: "beats me, I've never met him! And I don't want to!" Hanzo tries driving crazy in order to get their attacker off of the RustBucket, but fails to get SixSix off as he attacks the RV, causing it to nearly crash with a sudden stop. Max sees an abandoned mine. Hanzo: "in there!" The trio run as fast as they can out of the RustBucket and into the mine. As SixSix chases after them, Kraab bursts out of the ground to attack them. Kraab: "remember me?" Inside the mine, Hiro peeks at the outside. Hiro: "whew, I think the coast is clear." Kraab suddenly bursts out in front of them! Kraab: "here's Kraaby!" Kiriko: "don't you get tired of being wrong all the time?" Hiro: "I'm gonna say yes for once." Kraab: "the Omnitrix! Give it to me! Now!" While they are being chased by Kraab, Hiro touches the Omnitrix. Hiro: "come on, do something. Anything!" The trio are trapped within the canyon, surrounded by the hunters. Kiriko: "now what?" Hanzo finds a lift with a cable. Hanzo: "we take a ride." Kraab looks at the Hamanda’s as they run into the lift. Kraab: "what pathetic excuse for prey." The lift starts going up the cable. As they head up, Kiriko sees SixSix coming towards them. Kiriko: "we got company closing in fast!" Hanzo: "we need a plan." That's right when the watch reactivates. Hiro: "yes! Who needs a plan, when you have the watch? I'll take care of this." He activates the Omnitrix and begins dialing. Hanzo: "no, Ben. That's just what they want!" Hiro turns into CrystalKnight and climbs atop the lift. He attacks SixSix as he lands on the lift. Their fists clash, but SixSix is a better fighter, slowly overpowering CrystalKnight. They fight for a few more moments before CrystalKnight is knocked off of the lift! Hanzo and Kiriko: "Hiro!" CrystalKnight hangs onto the lift as Hanzo holds out his hand. Hanzo: "Hiro, come on!" CrystalKnight: "I'll catch up. First I've gotta put some dents in this walking soda machine and cruddy crustation." CrystalKnight lets go and lands on the ground of the canyon in a huge cloud of dust. The two bounty hunters surround him, and CrystalKnight begins fighting them, but doesn't use any strategy to fight, and gets his butt handed to him! Kraab and SixSix defeat CrystalKnight in less than a minute or two, but then start to argue over the reward. Kraab: "back off! That reward's mine", SixSix says something that sounded insulting. "Well, you don't have to get personal." Omni: “unbelievable, they’re arguing over who get to claim the reward.” A metal ball is tossed and releases a gas that knocks the hunters unconscious. Hoverboard flies in on a hoverboard and grabs CrystalKnight, flying them up and out of the canyon before tossing him into some nearby crates. CrystalKnight: "ow! What the heck man!?" Hoverboard: "billions of beings on this planet, with such great potential and training to wield such a powerful device, and the Omnitrix winds up on the wrist of a fool hardy youth with an attitude." CrystalKnight: "well, like I told your buddies, this thing doesn't come off. I've tried. Numerous times in fact." Hoverboard: "of course it doesn't. Its power utilizes alien DNA, which binds it to the host's own genetic structure. It cannot simply be removed like taking off a hat or a jacket.” he hits CrystalKnight when he tries sneaking behind him and sends him into a minecart. CrystalKnight: "ow! That smarts!" Hoverboard: "your choice of warriors is based solely on brute strength without regard for any type of strategy. Do you ever pause to consider your actions at all?" CrystalKnight gets out from the cart. CrystalKnight: "hey, I kick more than my share of bad guy butt." Hoverboard: "such as your recent success in the mine shaft with the bounty hunters?" CrystalKnight: "it wasn't a fair fight. It was two against one." The hunter blocks CrystalKnight's next attack. Hoverboard: "you were moments away from losing your life, and the Omnitrix. Victory should've been swift and effortless if this device were in the right hands.” He pushes CrystalKnight away. "The Omnitrix is not some toy for your amusement. It's not a child's plaything. It's the most powerful device in the galaxy. The key to an epic battle between good…. And evil. And you use it to goof off like a fool." CrystalKnight: "then whose side are you on? Huh?" Hoverboard: "you're still alive, aren't you?" CrystalKnight: "so what; you're a good guy?" Hoverboard: "yes. And my mission is to retrieve the Omnitrix at all costs. To keep it away from tyrants who would use it for evil. Since it is attached to you, I will bring you back for its removal." CrystalKnight: "oh, no. I'm not going anywhere." Hoverboard: "it's not your choice kid." CrystalKnight: "it is now…." He tackles him! The hunter pushes CrystalKnight away. Hoverboard: "it's disturbing how little you know of this alien's strengths and weaknesses. You barely scratch the surface of its potential." CrystalKnight: "yeah? So what makes you such an expert?" Hoverboard's helmet slides open, revealing them to be the same species as CrystalKnight! CrystalKnight: "you're…. Like me? A CrystalKnight?" Hoverboard: "a Petrosapien. And wrong. I am a noble and experienced warrior. You are an impulsive annoyance." That's when the Omnitrix times out; CrystalKnight turns back to Hiro. Hoverboard: "we have wasted enough time", he then lifts Hiro up over his shoulders. Hiro: "hey! Let me down you overgrown gemstone!" Just then, a gun click was heard, Hoverboard turned and saw Stryker pointing both guns at him. Stryker: “I listen to him, buddy. Otherwise, we’ll see how many rounds it take for redemption to shatter you.” He gestured to his shotgun pistol. Omni: “a fourth bounty hunter? Seriously? Are we that popular?” Hoverboard: “I suggest you get out of my way. I’m not letting that tyrant get his hand on the Omnitrix so he can use it for evil.” Stryker: “and he won’t because I’m not working for him.” This just confused them. “What I means is that I only took this job so I could prevent the other bounty hunters from getting the watch.” Hoverboard: “and why would you do that, might I ask?” Stryker: “because my sis was the one who delivered the Omnitrix in the first place.” This shocked both Hiro and Omni. Hiro: “your sister was the one who sent that pod? She the reason I have the watch in the first place?” Stryker: “yeah and as long as it on you, I’m not letting anyone take it or you off this planet, so even though we both don’t want it in the wrong hands, I’m not letting you take the kid off planet, ya hear!” As he aimed Redemption at Hoverboard. Just then, Kraab appeared holding the Petrosapians hoverboard. Stryker turns to point his guns at the robotic crab man. Kraab: "how bittersweet, Stryker. Unfortunately neither of you are getting off this planet with the Omnitrix and the Newborn." Hiro: "newborn?! I'm twelve!" Stryker: “really? I would have figured ten.” Kraab: "and just to be sure…." SixSix appears with Kiriko and Hanzo in their grasp. Hanzo: "hands off!" Kiriko: "let me go!" Hiro: "no…. Let go of them!" Kraab: "not a chance. Ya see, we've decided to work together and split the reward…. And you two in half, Stryker and Tetrax." Finally we have a name for the armored crystal warrior: Tetrax. Stryker: “this is low, even for you Kraab. Not for SixSix, this is more of a medium for him.” SixSix just said something in response. “Yeah, well same to you, ugly and your ugly mama.” Kraab: “enough talk! Time to get paid!” Kraab attacks furiously, forcing Hiro, Stryker and Tetrax to run for cover. SixSix says something in his native language. Kraab: "don't blow a gasket, metal-mouth. I know what I'm doing." Hiro argues with Tetrax as they hide. Hiro: "what are we waiting for? We've got to save them!" Tetrax lifts Hiro by the shirt. Tetrax: "don't be a fool. Keeping the Omnitrix secure is the only priority here." Hiro: "not to me. That's my family, they are more important than this watch, or your stupid mission!" Stryker: “gotta agree with the kid, shiny. No lives are worth the watch.” Tetrax: "you cannot save them. You would soon be overpowered and captured." Hiro: "I don't care! My family is more important than anything to me!" Tetrax: "you don't think before you act. The obvious choice is for me to retrieve my hoverboard so that we may leave the planet and escape from these hunters." Hiro: "but-" Tetrax puts Hiro down. Tetrax: “stay here." Stryker: “mind if I help? Make the fight more fair?” Tetrax: “alright. You take Kraab and I’ll take SixSix.” Stryker: “okay. Let hope we win.” Tetrax and Stryker runs in to attack, beginning a fierce battle between them. Hiro sees the Omnitrix recharged. Hiro: "alright, hero time." Hiro recalls Hanzo's and Tetrax's advice. Hanzo: "remember to think out there, Hiro. Don't just try to muscle your way through this. Might isn't always right." Tetrax: "your choice of warriors is based solely on brute strength without regard for any type of strategy. Do you ever pause to consider your actions at all?" Hiro grows a sullen look that slowly turns into a determined one. Hiro: "it's time to think this through." Omni: “then there only one smart, obvious choice.” Hiro turns the dial and switches the silhouettes. He stops at the silhouette of Amphi-brain. Hiro: "it's time for some brain power!" Hiro transforms in the green light, turning into Amphi-brain, sneaking into the battle and manages to get on Kraab's head! Kraab tries to get Amphi-brain off. Kraab: "get off me, you tiny little...!" Amphi-brain searches for something in Kraab's neck. Amphi-brain: "there should be a nerve cluster in here somewhere." Luckily, he finds it and pulls the nerve cluster. Kraab, "ah! Ah! Oh...! Ah...!" Kraab goes haywire and begins to dance about like a ballerina before he finally falls down in a sparking mess. Stryker: “ouch. That looked like it hurt, krabby.” Amphi-brain gets out from Kraab's armor. Amphi-brain: "one down." Hanzo stops SixSix from shooting Amphi-brain by grabbing onto their arm. Hanzo: "Hiro! Run!" SixSix flips him over and attempts to attack Hanzo with a wheel saw. Kiriko: "NO!" Amphi-brain hops onto SixSix's shoulder. Amphi-brain: "guess who?" Tetrax spots the little alien. Tetrax: "I told you to stay out of my way!" Amphi-brain: "I wonder what would happen if I did this!?" As he fiddles with SixSix suit wiring. SixSix: “get out of there you slimy-“ He suddenly puts his hand over his neck as he suddenly started speaking English. “Hey my translation matrix is fixed.” Amphi-brain fiddles with part of SixSix's jetpack and then jumps off as the device goes haywire and slams the hunter into the supports of a water tower. SixSix lands near Kraab and the water tower starts to fall. Kraab looks at the falling water tower. Kraab: "I really hate this planet." SixSix: “ditto.” The water tower crashed upon the two bounty hunters, trapping them and knocking them out. Stryker: “it would appear they’re all washed up.” Amphi-brain: "only one way to beat the desert heat, don't you think?" Tetrax: "pretty smart…. For a human." Amphi-brain: "I finally used my mind, rather than my fists." Amphi-brain then reverts back to Hiro in the usual blinking red light. We later see Tetrax taking the hunters with him. Hiro: "so, I know how Stryker knows about the watch but how do you know about the Omnitrix?" Tetrax: "a long time ago, I was contacted by the creator of the Omnitrix to donate my Petrosapien DNA for his project. I never met them. I only ever got a name. Azmuth." Hiro: "woah, cool. Oh, do you know anything about the time limit?" Tetrax: "I think it's some kind of training feature. It must take some sort of code to unlock its full capabilities. Anyway, I'll return as soon as I am able. Stryker: “hey, can I come with you? I don’t exactly have a way off planet and to be frank, I kinda carpool here with SixSix.” Tetrax: “alright. Beside, I could use the company. I need someone to watch my back.” Stryker: “fair enough.” Hiro: "wait, what about this?" Hiro holds up the watch. Omni: “yeah, what about me?” Tetrax: "Stryker right about one thing. It's in good hands, until then.” He then gives his hoverboard to Hiro. "This may be of some use in the meantime." Hiro: "oh, man! Are you serious?! This is so awesome! Hold on. You said you needed this to get off the planet." Tetrax: "selective disinformation." Hiro looks at Kiriko. Hiro: "huh?" Kiriko: "he lied." Hiro: "oh." Tetrax clicks a device on his wrist, and a large ship reveals itself. Cloaking technology at its finest. Tetrax and Stryker gets on with his prisoners and leaves the planet with a huge rumble. Kiriko: "how come you get all the cool alien stuff? Hiro: "eh, it fits my style." Kiriko: "right…. I've got something for you, too." She pours sunscreen on Hiro's head. Hiro: "ugh! Hey, what'd you do that for?! Kiriko: "wouldn't want that big head of yours to get sunburned." Hiro: grabs a towel and starts rubbing the sunscreen out. Hanzo: "come on kids. Let's get back on the road. I'm lucky Tetrax and Stryker helped with the repairs before he left." And with that, the three of them climbed back onto the RustBucket, continuing their adventure. As they drove, Hanzo thought back on when he, Stryker and Tetrax talked during the repairs. As Tetrax held the RustBucket up and let Hanzo and Stryker use his tools. Hanzo: "so, how's Krystal been?" Stryker: “my sis? dunno. Haven't seen her in awhile. Tetrax: “Last that I heard, she went to see Azmuth." Hanzo: "he was the one who sent the watch, wasn't he?" Tetrax: "I assume. Remember, aside from my donation, I never met him. You and Krystal did though. What was he like?" Hanzo: "incredibly smart. And egotistical." Stryker: “yeah, that tracks. Think he the smartest being in three galaxy’s. Oh wait, five galaxy’s.” Tetrax: "heh. So, are you ever gonna tell the kids about your past as a Plumber?" Stryker: “or that the fact that your grandson is my grandnephew?” Hanzo: "one day. When they're ready." Tetrax and Stryker nodded as they continued the repairs until Stryker heard something. Stryker: “gaahhhhh!” As oil spills on him. “Somebody get a patch kit! I think I sprung an oil leak!” Zemerik sees Tetrax and Stryker leaving the Earth on a monitor before him. Zemerik: "betrayed…." As he slammed his fist on his throne. Robotic Lieutenant: "My lord, our sensors indicate the Omnitrix is not with the mercenaries." Zemerik: "it would appear the creature who possesses the Omnitrix is as clever as it is fierce. But I shall not be denied. After all…." As Zemerik head open up, revealing it to be a helmet. Zemerik removes the helmet, revealing his true face. He was a pale-skin human-like alien with hazel eyes but no visible pupils. He had a blue specially-designed eyepatch on his right eye and long, stylish silver hair that spikes up at various spots on his head. He also had a tattoo of what appeared to be a symbol which was made of two, overlapping white tranagle surrounded by a purple circle with three broken lines. “It is my destiny to wield that device.” Zemerik had more plans in store. And we'll see these plans come to fruition in time…. ——————————————————————— Well, what did you guys think of this chapter? Also what did you think of Stryker, an original OC of mine? I figured his voice actor would either be Phil LaMarr or Chris Jai Alex. (Why those two? Well just find the one character they both voiced. Hint: it a video game character.) Also a little twist at the end there with Hanzo speaking with Stryker and Tetrax. Also with Zemerik actually wearing a suit of armor rather than him being a pure robotic being. His appearance is based on Hades from Record of Ragnarok.

Permanent Retirement We see the RustBucket parked outside of an ice cream shop. Hanzo was currently waiting outside, looking over a map as a man bumped into him. Hanzo: "oof! Hey!" The man: "out of the way, grandpa. I got a major withdrawal to make." The man was approaching a car that was parked in front of an ATM. Hanzo gave a suspicious look at the man. We then see Kiriko and Hiro looking at ice cream barrels. Kiriko: "oh man, there so many flavours. I don’t know which one to pick.” Hiro: "come on Kiriko. Live a little." Kiriko: "oh, fine. I guess I'll take a double chocolate chip." The Ice Cream Employee: "alright then. What about you, kid?" Omni: “ask for a marshmallow swirl blitz.” He whispered while hiding in the Omnitrix. Hiro turns around for a moment and sees the man at the ATM. Hiro: "I'm about to go down a rocky road." Hiro runs out, leaving Kiriko to just stare at the employee in slight confusion. The first man is putting a hook on the ATM as another man sits in the car. Hiro: "time for a Techjack." As he sneaks next to the car. Ben activated the watch and transformed! The man: "hit it!" But as the 2nd man is about to drive the car, the car turns a black, purple and green color! The man sees a droopy head poking out of the dashboard, their eye being the Omnitrix. This was Techjack, an alien Hiro could use to combine with machines. Techjack: "sorry, but your cash request has been denied. Please try again; NEVER!" He said in an almost digital voice. He throws the man out of the car and next to the other man. Techjack quickly emerged from the car, showing that he looked like a living circuit board, with his body being a mix of green, blue, purple, and black. He also had two orbs on his shoulders. Techjack defeats the men by merging with a nearby vending machine and shooting them with soda cans for a minute, knocking them both into a wall. One of them gets knocked out, and when the other one tries to run, Hanzo sticks his leg out and knocks them to the ground, and out cold. Hanzo: "where do you think you're going? Good work, Hiro." Techjack: "oh, yeah. I'm ready for anything. Bring it on. What's up next?" Max, "we're heading off to see your Aunt Muriel for the weekend." Techjack: "aw, boring old Aunt Muriel? Come on!" Omni: “ohhhhhh, bummer man.” As he put his arm around Techjack shoulder. We later see the trio driving to where Aunt Muriel lived. A retirement community in a desert area. Fujin was perched by the window as Kiriko spoke. Kiriko: "heh, when Aunt Muriel said she wanted to move away from it all, she really meant it, huh?" Hiro: "oh, man. This summer was supposed to be about f-u-n, fun, not hanging out in some old lady's place, where the only thing to do is watch paint dry." Hiro was fiddling with his navy jacket he wore around his waist, hoping it would fit him right one day. Kiriko: "well, I like Aunt Muriel." Hiro: "that makes sense. You act like you're 100 years old." Kiriko: "well at least I've matured." Hiro: "hey, I can be mature." Kiriko: "or really? Name a time?" Hiro: "remember that time your brother got in trouble for drawing on the walls, and I took the blame?" Kiriko: "okay, that was one time." Hanzo: "simmer down you two. We're almost there." Omni: “then I’ll be chilling in the watch. Haven’t had a chance to make it my “pad” as you human say.” As he melted back into the Omnitrix. Hiro and Kiriko stopped their bickering as they got closer to their destination. We see Aunt Muriel talking excitedly to her neighbor, Marty. Aunt Muriel wore a dark green dress and had white hair. Marty was a scrawny old man in glasses. Aunt Muriel: "it's been years since I've seen Hanzo and the kids. I'm not sure I'll even recognize them now. Stop by and say hello when you get a chance." Marty: "I'd very much like that." Marty leaves and enters his own house. But as he walks into the kitchen, something is seen approaching him from behind. Marty gets attacked, but we don't yet see what attacks him. Hiro sees the retirement community from the window. Hiro: "this is gonna be so boring. Their idea of excitement in this place is probably watching the grass grow. Or like I said, watching…. Paint…. Dry…?" Hiro was left speechless as he saw an old man back-flipping around like a stunt man. Hiro: "whoa! Kiriko, did you see that?" Kiriko: "see what? The heat must be frying that brain of yours." Hiro: "very funny." Hiro was legit curious about what was going on now. We see the trio arrive at Aunt Muriel’s house. Hiro: "seriously, why do old people have to live where it's so hot? It feels like a giant steam room." Kiriko hits Hiro with some water. Hiro: "... Thanks for that, cuz." Kiriko: "hahahahaha! You did say you wanted to cool off." Omni: “hey!!!” As he poked his head out of the watch. “Do you mind? I’m working here.” As he went back into the watch. Hiro then sees Marty, or who we assume is Marty, glaring at them. Hiro: "huh, they really make you feel welcome here." Hanzo: "just watch your cheeks. Muriel’s a pincher." Aunt Muriel: "Hanzo!" Hanzo: "Vera." Aunt Muriel hugs Hanzo, and then goes over to Kiriko. Aunt Muriel: "I can't believe you're finally here.” she pinches Kiriko's cheek. “Oh, look at the both of you. So grown up!“ Kiriko: "ow. Er, thank you Aunt Vera." Aunt Muriel pinches Hiro's cheek. Hiro: "ow." Aunt Muriel: "come on in. I can't wait to chew the fat with all of you." They all enter inside Aunt Muriel's house. Hiro: "sniff, ugh. Why do old people's houses always smell like somebody's cooking socks or something?" Kiriko elbows Hiro in the side, trying to get him to stop being rude. Hiro took the hint. Later, we see the Hamanda eating Aunt Muriel's Gelatin Mold she made. Well, Hanzo and Vera were eating it happily. Hiro and Kiriko cringed as they ate, seeing that Hanzo and Aunt Vera shared the same strange tastes. Hanzo: "oh, Muriel, this is delicious. Now, what are these brown chunks in the mold?" Aunt Muriel: "oh! Those are pork chops. And the white parts are cauliflower. So, Hiro, what have you been doing so far this summer?" Hiro: "dealing with alien life forms." Aunt Muriel: "haha, oh, you." Kiriko sees a stuffed bird on the wall Kiriko: "Aunt Muriel, is that a stuffed red-billed North American Chickadee?" Aunt Muriel: "ohh! How perceptive, Kiriko. And did you know the song of the red-billed North American Chickadee is actually…." Kiriko and Aunt Vera: "a call indicating alarm or excitement?" They both mimic the bird's song. Hiro: "dorksville, USA." Omni: “I gotta agree with ya kid, this is too dorky, even for me.” He peaked out of the watch. Hiro moves his meal to Kiriko's plate, not eager to eat it. Hiro: "I am totally stuffed." Kiriko glares at Hiro. Aunt Muriel: "Hiro, would you like some candy?" Hiro: "now we're talking.” he eats a candy but spits it out. "ugh! Coffee as a candy? Is this some kind of joke…." Hiro runs to a bathroom. "I need to use the bathroom.” he goes inside the bathroom. “it's Attack of the Old People. I gotta get out of here." Hiro activated the watch and transformed. In a flash of green light, he was now a gray ghost alien with a pink eye, had a pair of shackles with broken chains on his arms and neck and looked like he had black lines all over his body. Hiro: "Spectgrim should be able to get away." Aunt Muriel picks up a shell and hands it to Kiriko Aunt Muriel: "and this one is a Valentiana. Can you hear the ocean?" Kiriko puts her ear to the shell, but then hears Spectgrim whisper. Spectgrim: "loser. Loser. Hahaha!" Kiriko: "er…. Yes, I can." As Aunt Muriel turns away, Kiriko looks behind her and sees Spectgrim. Kiriko: "Hiro?" Spectgrim: "see ya. Wouldn't wanna be ya." Spectgrim gets out from Aunt Muriel's house. Spectgrim: "there has to be something fun to do around here?" Spectgrim looks around and finds a golf cart. Spectgrim: "well hello." Spectgrim drives around and sniffs the air, finding an apple pie on a windowsill. Spectgrim: "mm. Apple pie." That's when he sees an old lady eating a fly! Spectgrim: "no way. Ninja old people." Omni: “a ninja old person who just eat a fly! That ain’t natural. Is it?” Spectgrim: “not where I’m from, buddy. Something strange is going on here.” Spectgrim sees Marty driving a golf cart and avoiding water. Spectgrim: "hmm…. I wonder what Mr. Friendly's up to?" Omni: “let’s follow him. We are in the perfect alien for that, after all.” Spectgrim follows Marty and sees him pushing a dumpster. Spectgrim: "this place just keeps getting weirder and weirder by the minute." Suddenly, the Omnitrix times out and Spectgrim turns back into Hiro. Hiro gasps seeing Marty twisting his neck completely around! Omni: “That ain't human! Definitely not human!!!” Hiro: "aah!” He runs and closes a gate behind him, but the Marty double somehow goes through the bars like slime! Ben quickly begins driving the golf cart as the Marty imposter chases him. Hiro: "I didn't see your face suddenly pop on the back of your head! I swear! What kind of vitamins are these freaky old people taking?" Omni: “I don’t think it is vitamins. Whatever that is must be some sort of gelatinous shapeshifter. Able to take whatever form it needs. That at least narrows what species it is. Unfortunately, there are many goo-like aliens.” Hiro steps on a gas pedal in order to lose his pursuer. Hiro: "come on, come on." The Marty double catches up and grabs the cart. Hiro: "let me go!" Hiro hits the clone Marty's arm with a golf club from the back of the cart. Hiro: "fore!" The Marty clone hops on the cart roof and avoids the arms. Hiro: "no!" Omni: “that is not good! Very not good!!” The cart collapses, captured by the Marty imposter! Hiro screams as the sprinklers turn on, making the Marty clone run away. Hiro: "okay…. What just happened here?" Omni: “I don’t know but I do this: there are shapeshifters here in town.” Hiro gets back to Aunt Muriel's house and calls Kiriko and Hanzo out. Hiro: "Grandpa, Kiriko!" Hanzo: "shh. Your aunt Muriel's in bed." Hiro: "seriously? It's, like, only 6:30. Never mind. Listen. This whole place is way creepier than I first thought. First, this old lady runs up a wall and then munches a fly. Then Marty, that weird next-door neighbor, is an alien or something with a face in the back of his head and these long, sticky arms, and this body that oozed right through this gate, and-" Kiriko: "Hiro, you snuck out. Aunt Muriel was hurt." Hiro: "I know. I'll apologize when she wakes up later. But we got other stuff to worry about. I say I go Steeljaw and we check out Marty's apartment, all gangster style!" Hanzo: "well, maybe we should do some investigating, but you stay as you are. No gangster style. Us old folks don't forget as much as you think we do." Kiriko: "you know, ever since you've had that watch, you're like a magnet for the weird." Hiro: "you're right." As he looked at Kiriko. Kiriko: "very funny…." We see Hanzo peeking inside of Marty's house. Hanzo: "hello? Anyone home?" He shushes the kids as they go inside. Kiriko: "ah!" When she sees a shadow. Hanzo figures out the shadow was a coat and a hat. Hanzo: "well, nothing here seems out of place." Hiro: "except for what he rolled up in his rug that was right here." They leave the house and head back to Aunt Muriel's. Later that night, Hanzo assures the kids to sleep. Hanzo: "you two sleep well. I'll be in the guest room if you need me." Hiro: "but, grandpa-" Hanzo: "Hiro, there's nothing more we can do tonight. I'm going for an early walk in the morning, but once I'm back, we'll check things out again. Now, get some rest, you two." Hanzo leaves Hiro and Kiriko to slowly drift off to sleep. Meanwhile, something sneaks into Aunt Muriel's room! Hiro looks inside the refrigerator that morning. Hiro: "let's see. Prune juice, prune juice, and, oh, what a surprise, more prune juice. Why does it seem like old people were always old?" Kiriko sees Aunt Muriel. Kiriko: "morning, Aunt Muriel. How'd you sleep?" Aunt Muriel???: "just…. Fine. How about you?" She pinches Hiro's cheek, albeit more roughly. Hiro: "ow! Er, fine, Aunt Muriel. And, I'm sorry about last night." Aunt Muriel: "sorry for what?" Hiro: "er, sneaking out yesterday?" Aunt Muriel: oh…. That…. It's alright." Hiro: "really?" That seemed way too easy. Kiriko: "Aunt Muriel, I made you some coffee" But Kiriko accidentally drops the tray! Kiriko: "oops, sorry!" Aunt Muriel suddenly jumps and braces her legs on the walls like a monkey! Aunt Muriel: "clean it up! Clean it up right now!" Kiriko looks at Hiro and Aunt Muriel in confusion. Kiriko: "I'm sorry." Kiriko quickly starts cleaning up the coffee as Aunt Muriel gets back down and notices the empty guest room. Aunt Muriel: "where did your grandfather go?" Kiriko: "he said he was going for an early walk." Aunt Muriel: "well, behave yourselves. I'll be back soon…." Aunt Muriel walks off very suspiciously. Hiro: "she's totally one of them." Kiriko: "one of what?" Hiro: "whatever's possessing these old people. She jumped on the wall like how these other people have been doing backflips. Something or someone's gotten to Aunt Muriel and who knows how many of the other fossils around here. And I think I know where they might be working from." Kiriko: "this whole thing feels like Invasion of the Body Snatchers!" Hiro: "you've seen that movie?" Kiriko: "it's a classic. Of course I've seen it." Omni: “body snatchers?” He then smack himself on the head. “Of course! Why didn’t I see it sooner. The gelatinous physiology, the aversion to water. I just figured out what our mystery alien is.” Hiro: “what? What are they?” Omni: “I’ll tell ya on the way. Hurry before it too late.” And with that, they left the house, making their way towards the dump. Minutes later, we see Ben and Gwen sneaking around. Omni: “they’re called Limax. A gelatinous shapeshifting alien that resembles humanoid blobs.” Kiriko: “so now we know what they called but why are they’re kidnapping the elderly?” Omni: “that the gross bad part, Limax diet consists of finely age foods. That why they kidnap the old people: they’re food.” Hiro: “then we need to hurry and stop their food stop.” Kiriko: "so, where are we headed, Sherlock? Hiro sees a resident roaming and hides. Hiro: "we need to get to that trapdoor by the dumpster." Omni: “that most likely the entrance to the Limax lair and if we’ve lucky, were they keeping the elderly.” Several of the old people, including Aunt Muriel and Marty arrive nearby. Limax Aunt Muriel: "is the food supply ready for transport?" Limax Marty: "the pods are in the final stages of gestation. What about the young ones?" Limax Aunt Muriel: "they are too chewy. They need to age more before they get nice and tender." Limax Marty: "I'm not talking about eating them. The boy suspects too much of our plan." Hiro and Kiriko find the dumpster. Hiro: "it's right over there." Kiriko: "just follow the disgusting smell." Suddenly, a Limax woman attacks them! Kiriko: "duck!" The pair duck as she swings her arm at them! Hiro: "run!" They run away, and then see Hanzo approaching them. Hanzo: "guys, what's going on?" Hiro: "grandpa, they're everywhere!" Hanzo: "I know. Come here. I'll protect you." Suddenly, his arms stretch out and attack them, shrieking like a banshee! It's another Limax! They got Grandpa Hanzo! Kiriko: "let's get out of here!" As they run, they find themselves surrounded by Limaxes. Hiro: "oh, this is not good." Gwen sees the Limax Hanzo get crushed by a vending machine! Kiriko: "no!" The Limax Hanzo slithers out and reforms. Hiro points to the dumpster! Hiro: "come on. There's a trapdoor under there!" Ben quickly activates the watch and transforms into Steeljaw. He picks up and throws the dumpster at the Limaxes. Steeljaw: “quick, grab on and hold on tight.” Kiriko: “got it.” As she grabbed onto Steeljaw backs tightly. Steeljaw: “look out below!!” He yells before jumping down the trapdoor. Kiriko: “whoa! Does the expression; 'look before you leap', mean anything to you?" She then sees the Limaxes coming down! Kiriko: "move it, boy!" They run away as fast as they can and end up inside a cave full of tunnels. Kiriko: "these tunnels must go under the whole complex." Steeljaw: “not for me. My nose is telling where our grandfather is. We’ll find him soon.” Suddenly, the Limax Hanzo attacks but Steeljaw catches him! He then throws the copy of their grandfather into a nearby cave wall and approaches them. Steeljaw raised his fist to finish Limax Hanzo. Limax Hanzo: "you wouldn't want to hurt old Grandpa Hanzo, now, would you?" Steeljaw: “you’re right, I wouldn’t hurt him.” As the Limax smiled and prepared to retaliate. “But then again, you’re not my grandpa.” As he started to tear at the Limax, reducing him to nothing more than green splotches on the cave wall. Kiriko: “a little overkill, don’t ya think?” Steeljaw: “he’ll be fine. Mostly.” As he smelled something. Kiriko: “what?” Steeljaw: “I got his scent.” As he starts to run towards the wall. Kiriko: “look out!” As she looks at a wall in front of them. Steeljaw reverts to Hiro after crashing through the wall. Kiriko: "hey, what do I look like, a crash-test dummy?" Hiro: "listen. I don't know what it is, but I picked up some kind of scent here." Hiro and Kiriko find the retirees in pods! Kiriko: "it's like everyone in the retirement village has been podded up. This IS the Invasion of the Body Snatchers!" Omni: “only one difference, they’re a meal ticket for those snot balls.” Hiro: "you can say that again." Hiro then finds Hanzo in a pod. Hiro: “Grandpa!" Hiro quickly frees Kiriko from the pod. Hanzo: "oh, I was out for a walk and then…. Oh, I can't remember what happened next." Hiro tries to free the people but is stopped by the Limaxes! Limax Aunt Muriel: "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Hiro: "well, you're not me." Limax Marty, "not yet, I'm not." Omni: “stop your charades, Limaxes. Why don’t you show us your true form, ya overgrown blobs of snot.” Limax Aunt Muriel: “if you insist.” The Limaxes show their true appearances. They really did look like huge slime monsters. Hanzo: "you can fill me in later." Kiriko finds the Limaxes' ship. Kiriko: "look what's back here." Hanzo: "that must be their ship." Limax Aunt Muriel: "they found it. We can't let them out." Limax Marty: "get the pods on board. They've been marinating long enough!" Hanzo: "m-marinating?" Kiriko finds Aunt Muriel in a pod. Kiriko: "they've got Aunt Muriel!" Hiro activates the Omnitrix once more. Hiro: "you guys really burn me up." Hiro transforms into Wendighost. The Limaxes step back. Wendighost: "... so now I’m gonna put you on ice. Taste my glacial fastball." Wendighost shot a ball of ice at the Limaxes but notices his mistake. They all form into a gigantic Limax. Huge Limax: "whatever you are, you just made a terrible mistake. You may be able to control the cold but us limaxes live for the heat. Why do you think we came to the desert in the summer?" Omni: “oh right, I forgot they could do that bit. Sorry.” Kiriko figures out that Limaxes hate water, remembering how Aunt Muriel jumped away from the coffee. Kirko: "they hate water! Aunt Muriel when she was in the kitchen!" Wendighost: "or Marty, when I was on the golf cart!" He finds an underground water pipe and formed a spear of ice and throw it at the pipe to destroys it to spray water at the Huge Limax! The Limax starts slithering towards the ship in pain as the water hits it. Wendighost: "see you, you overgrown slime ball." Kiriko and Hanzo save all of the people on the ship. Hanzo: "sorry. There's no dry-thru service here." The Limaxes leave the planet, their ship flying high into the sky. Hanzo: "we should put them all back in their condos, so they'll think they never left, and that all of this was just a nightmare." Kiriko: "that could take hours." Wendighost: "give me a few minutes. I'll see if Velociracer can help out." Hours later, everything in the community was back to normal as the Hamanda's got ready to leave. Aunt Muriel: "don't be strangers, you hear?" Hanzo: "we won't." Kiriko: "goodbye, Aunt Muriel." Aunt Muriel: "goodbye, dear. Oh, this is for the road.” she gives Kiriko a Gelatin Mold. "Hiro told me how much you liked my Gelatin Mold. This one's lime with chunks of grouper and chickpeas." Kiriko: "uh…. Thanks." Aunt Muriel: "I'm sorry, Hiro, if there wasn't enough excitement here for you. I hope you weren't bored to tears." Hiro: "actually, it turned out better than I thought. And um, I'm sorry about sneaking away the other night." Aunt Muriel: "it's alright. I'm just glad you've had a good time. Well, have fun on the road." Aunt Muriel: "it's alright. I'm just glad you've had a good time. Well, have fun on the road." Hiro hugs Aunt Vera. Hiro: "I will." As he goes to the RV. Aunt Muriel: "oh, and Hiro, keep up the good work dealing with all those aliens you were telling me about." Hiro: "heh, y-you're…. Kidding, right?" Aunt Muriel: "haha, of course, dear." Hiro chuckles as he, Kiriko and Hanzo once again head on the road. Aunt Muriel: "oh, if only they knew what their Grandpa did for a living…." As the RustBucket drove off, Hiro and Kiriko were once again sitting across from one another. Kiriko: "okay, Hiro, I have to ask about that jacket. Why do you wear it?" Hiro: "Dad gave it to me, but it doesn't fit me yet, so that's why the sleeves are rolled up like this." Kiriko: "hmm. Neat." And with that, the group were back on the road, and odd towards more adventures…. ——————————————————————— It's been interesting writing this story. I’ve been mostly writing these by using episode transcripts. Expect some big changes to episode like tough luck and the vistor and perhaps more. Also my design for Techjack (Upgrade) is a combination of the original and reboot Upgrade combine with Bootleg.

The Krakken We see Hiro diving into a lake that was at the group's campsite for the night. Hiro: "Cannon ball~!" Hiro splashes into the water with tremendous results. He soon rises up from the murky depths, smiling. Hiro: "judges' scores….” Omni, who is somehow wearing scuba gear, form a ten in his left hand. “Yes, a perfect ten by the magnificent Hiro Hamada! Yeah! Ah~, the crowd loves him!" That's when Kiriko approaches with her flashlight. Kiriko: "a perfect dweeb is more like it." Hiro: "come on! Dive in! The water isn't too cold!" Kiriko: "no way! Who knows what nasty slimy things are slithering around in there at this time of night?” she shines her flashlight on Hiro, making him frown. "I rest my case." Hiro: "come on! What's the point in camping by a lake if you're afraid to get wet? The whole point is to get wet!" Omni: “he got a point ya know, you landlubber. Jump on in, the water fine.” As he splashed the water with his hands. Kiriko: "I just don't like getting into a murky and muddy lake." Hiro: "hey! What's…. Happen-" as he starts to struggle. Omni: “I think they’re something underneath-“ but he was interrupted as he and Hiro are suddenly pulled under the water! Kiriko: "very funny, Hiro. I'm not falling for this…. Hiro?" Kiriko frowns as bubbles come out of the water. Kiriko: "Hiro? Come on, this isn't funny!" Suddenly, a large figure emerges from the water with weeds all over their body! Kiriko screams, steps back, and trips over. The flashlight lands and shines towards the figure, revealing it to be Steeljaw covered in the weeds. Kiriko: "Hiro?!" Steeljaw: "hahaha! You should've seen the look on your face. Ha, priceless." Kiriko: "you are so busted when I tell Grandpa about this!" Steeljaw: "come on! It was just a harmless prank! No biggie." Kiriko: "no biggie?! I thought something grabbed you! Ugh! I'm going to bed! Jerk!"As Kiriko stomps off towards the RustBucket. Omni: “that was a little mean, dude. She did seem pretty worried about us.” Steeljaw: "sigh, maybe you right, I should apologize. Still, I can't believe she fell for that little stunt! A monster in a lake? Who would fall for that?" As he removes the seaweed. That's when Steeljaw felt something. Steeljaw: “Omni, can you not.” Omni: “can I not what?” Steeljaw: “can you not touch my feet? It weird!” Omni: “Hiro, I’m not touching anything.” As he shakes his hand. Steeljaw: "well if not you then?” The water all around was moving. “what the-? What's going on?" Omni: “I don’t know! What am I? A lake expert?” Then, suddenly, a gigantic tail emerged from the lake! Omni: “big tail! That is a big tail!!!!” As he flailed his arm about everywhere. Steeljaw: "oh, me and my big metal mouth." The tail quickly lunged forward and grabbed Steeljaw, pulling him under the water. Our alien hero started struggling as he saw two huge glowing eyes staring right at him! Steeljaw was able to get free and quickly swam back to the surface, running towards the RustBucket as fast as they could! Steeljaw: "there's a giant monster in the lake! It attacked me!" This was met with a pillow thrown to his face as Fujin woke up for a moment before going back to sleep on his little roost near the fridge. Kiriko: "hello? Do you really think I'll fall for the same prank twice?" Steeljaw: "I'm not kidding! I just got pulled under the water!" Omni: “he not lying! There was a massive fish! The size of a house! In the lake!!!!!” Hanzo: "come on you two, the joke's over. It's time for bed." Steeljaw and Omni: "bu-" Hanzo: "just get some sleep. Remember we have an early day tomorrow with our fishing trip." Hanzo and Kiriko quickly went back to sleep as Steeljaw transformed back into Hiro. Hiro sighed as he went into the bathroom, dried off and did his nightly routine before changing into his pajamas. Omni: “I ain’t ever gonna sleep knowing there’s a giant monster in the-“ he then suddenly fell asleep. Hiro went to sleep, thinking about what he saw that night. The next day, we see the three Hamanda's at the docks of a fishing town for the fishing trip they had planned. Hiro was trying to convince them of what he saw the previous night. Hiro: "no really. It was enormous! Gigantic! It was bigger than anything I've ever seen! It had huge tentacles and big glowing eyes!" Omni: “he ain’t lying! It was a giant sea monster!!!! Bigger than a truck and tougher than a 50 cents steak.” Hanzo: "I'm sure it was just some kind of big fish, that's all. You're probably overreacting." Hiro: "really? What fish can pull someone down into the depths, and are bigger than a whale!?" Kiriko: "ugh. Just give the lake monster story a rest, will ya Captain dweeb of the S.S. malarkey." Hiro: "have you been planning that bit?" Kiriko: "no. I'm just great at improv." Omni: “good job. Very well done.” Hiro grumbles in annoyance before he looks at a bucket of worms, grins, and shows a handful of worms to Kiriko. Kiriko gasps in shock and disgust. Hiro: "breakfast?" Kiriko "ugh, Hiro, that's gross! Grandpa, What's with the bucket of slimies?" Hanzo: "fish bait. What else would we use? Brochures to a hotel?" Hiro: "heh, good one." Kiriko: "yeah, well, I think I'm going to pass on the fishing thing. I'll stay here and catch some sun instead." Hanzo: "okay, but you don't know what you're missing out on." Kiriko: "I'm pretty sure I do." As she walked away. Omni: “okay, we’ll see you when we get back.” As he waved goodbye. Hiro: "we camp by a lake; she doesn't swim. We go on a fishing trip, she stays on the docks. Seriously, if we went skydiving, she'd stay on the plane." Hanzo: "alright, that's enough Ben. There's Captain Shaw, the man whose boat we're chartering." They saw an extremely grumpy looking man on a boat. Hanzo: "Captain Shaw?" Captain Shaw: "who wants to know?" Hanzo: "I'm Hanzo Hamanda and this is my grandson, Hiro. We chartered your boat today for a fishing trip." Captain Shaw: "oh. Well, what are ya waiting for, an engraved invitation? Get aboard, I ain't got all day." As Hanzo and Hiro got onto the boat. Hiro: "real jolly, ain't he?" Hanzo: "Hiro be nice. Even if he's a little surly." Omni: “a little surly? That the understatement of the day.” Later, we see the boat sailing across the lake as a fog rolled in around them as Shaw was looking over his fishing equipment Hanzo: "so…. Anything interesting happened lately? Anything to catch?" Captain Shaw: "more than you can imagine, my friend. Something truly amazing lurks in the water below." Omni: “yeah, like that giant sea monster from the last night! Oh boy!” As he freaking out. They look over and see Hiro at the edge of the boat. Captain Shaw: "looks like your boy is using his breakfast as chum." Hanzo: "Ben, are you feeling okay?" Hiro: "huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I'm just keeping an eye out for the lake monster. That thing's not taking me by surprise this time." Omni: “but if it does, we’ll give such a clobbering.” Hanzo simply gave a concerned look over Hiro's ramblings. Hiro spots something in the fog that was rolling in. Hiro: "there it is!" Omni: “panic!!!!!!! Abandoned ship!!!!” As he dove back into the Omnitrix. They all look, but then they see it's just a weirdly shaped rock. Omni: “oh. I know that, I was just testing my reflexes. Sharp as ever.” Hiro: "oh…. Heh, my bad. False alarm." Hanzo: "now Hiro, this is a fishing trip, not a monster hunt. That lake monster is probably just a large fish." Captain Shaw: "it's called 'the Krakken.'" Hiro: "whoa. You know about it?" Captain Shaw: "it's my business to know all about it. I've been tracking the beast for some time. It's the town's most famous legend." He hands over a picture to Hiro. Hiro stares at it, shocked at the faded image of a large creature with tentacles and glowing eyes riding out of the lake. Hiro: "no way. This looks exactly like what I saw!" Captain Shaw: "I've been on its tail for years. Folks say my rudder's not right." Hanzo: "why doesn't that surprise me?" Captain Shaw: "eh, say whatever you want! But I know the Krakken is out there!" As the trip goes on, Captain Shaw keeps talking about the Krakken. Captain Shaw: "sightings go back hundreds of years on this very lake. Some say it's a myth, but not me. I've seen it. I can take ya to a spot where I personally laid eyes upon the beast. That is, if you got the stomach for some real adventure?" Hanzo: "er, I guess so." Hiro: "alright! Let's find a monster!" Captain Shaw shows his gadgets to Hiro. Captain Shaw: "I've got sonar, high depth video set up, ultrasound…. I've gotten it all. And I will find it. Mark my words; it can't hide forever." Omni: “yesh, he got everything except the kitchen sink. Oh no wait, there it is.” Hiro: "how'd you get all this stuff?" Captain Shaw: "you'd be surprised how much money fishing can make ya." Hiro: "cool…." Hanzo drags Hiro away to talk to him. Hanzo: "Hiro, I don't want you to put too much stock into what Mr. Shaw says about this, 'monster.' This is like a Moby Dick situation. I don't think he has both oars in the water, if you know what I mean?" Hiro: "why? Just because he saw the Krakken, too?" Omni: “just because you haven’t seen something, doesn’t mean it exists.” Captain Shaw sees the area cordoned off and slows the boat down. Captain Shaw: "'Do Not Enter'? What's goin' on here?" Hanzo: "looks official. Maybe we should turn back before we get into any trouble?" Captain Shaw: "nonsense. This is my lake and I'll go wherever I-" Before he could continue, the group saw a very large, high-tech looking ship approaching them. The captain: "hello? Fishing boat, please stop where you are." The larger boat grows closer. Captain Shaw: "who the heck are you?" The man: "I am Jonah Melville, the founder of Friends of Fish. We're an organization dedicated to helping the various creatures who live underwater." Shaw: "never heard of ya!" Jonah: "we're a new organization. We've closed this section of the lake for an environmental study. We can't have anyone disturbing the area until further notice. I'm sorry, but you'll have to turn your boat around." Captain Shaw: "suppose ya can make me, ya fish hugging vegan?" Hanzo: "well, since I chartered the boat for the day, I believe I'm in charge. Isn't that right, Captain?" Captain Shaw grumbles and walks away. Hiro: "but what about the Krakken?" Jonah: "ha! The Krakken? Not that old fool's legend. Look, I'm a marine biologist and anybody who tells you they've seen a monster in this lake is casting without a hook. Like a giant lake monster could be in such a place, let alone even exist? It's like aliens, or bigfoot. It's a myth." Hanzo, Ben and Omni shared a look at the alien comment. Captain Shaw looks at the sonar as it begins detecting something Captain Shaw: "the sonar! We found something! Something very big!" Hiro: "or something found us. Captain, look over there!" As he sees a giant fin in the lake. Captain Shaw: "it's the Krakken!" Captain Shaw sees what direction the Krakken's headed. Captain Shaw: "it's heading right for the docks!" Hiro and Hanzo: "Kiriko!" As they looked at each other in fright. Omni: “she Krakken chow!!!!!” We see Kiriko sitting on the docks, enjoying the sun that had begun to shine upon her. Kiriko: "ah, finally a little sun. And with my big-mouth cousin nowhere in sight, I can just lay back and relax for once.” Unfortunately, Kiriko didn't see the Krakken heading towards the docks. Captain Shaw uses the air-horn on his boat as a warning to everyone at the docks. Kiriko however, misunderstood Shaw's warning honk as a prank from Hiro. Kiriko: "how many times does Hiro think I'm gonna fall for this? Give it a rest already!" That's right when the Krakken starts attacking the docks, shocking Kiriko! Kiriko: "okay, that's not Ben!" The Krakken roars into the air! Captain Shaw: "I told ya! It's real! The Krakken lives!" As he looks at the Krakken through his binoculars. Hanzo: "sail now, gloat later! Someone's got to rescue those people." Hiro: “ready for a swim, Omni?” Omni: “aye aye, captain!” As he saluted. Hiro nods to his Grandpa as he runs to the edge of the boat and cycles through the watch. He sees the symbol of the crocodilian man on it. Ben jumps into the water and gets ready to be Leatherhead, the crocodilian alien. Hiro: "Leatherhead to the rescue!" He dives and transforms! But who surfaces? Velociracer. Velociracer: "What the? Hey, I said Leatherhead, not Velociracer! Stupid watch! Maybe I should stop slamming it down? Ugh, here goes nothing." Velociracer begins running along the water. Velociracer: "okay, maybe this can work!" Omni: “I’m not gonna question how this works. Just gonna go with it.” As he held onto the Omnitrix. As Kiriko nearly gets hit by the Krakken, Belociracer runs in and saves her, getting her to dry land. Kiriko: "whoa!" Omni: “now do you believe us?” Velociracer: "you okay?" Kiriko: "I think so. Thanks for the save." Velociracer: "you’re welcome. Now, I've got to save the other people!" Velociracer runs back towards the other people, accidentally getting mud on Kiriko. Kiriko: "hey, you did that on purpose!" She yelled. Velociracer: "no I didn't!" He yelled back The Krakken screams in anger while Velociracer saves people from them, getting everyone to dry land as fast as their legs could carry them. Jonah: "get us outta here!" The Krakken notices and follows, splashing with its tail and sending Jonah's boat away! Jonah and his men yell in shock as the boat gets rocked around like a bath toy in the hands of an angry toddler. The Krakken grabs a box which says 'CANNERY.' Jonah: "oh no, you don't!" As he starts holding onto the box. Velociracer stops the Krakken by running around it, hitting it in various places until it retreats. Jonah: "thanks for the hand…. And the uh, feet." Velociracer: "what's so important in that crate that you risked your life for it?" Jonah: "um... Our lunch." Velociracer: "... you mean to tell me that you almost got munched for a few sandwiches? That baloney!" The Krakken suddenly steals the box, smashing its tentacle through the floor and grabbing it! Velociracer: "uh-oh. Sorry, gotta run!" As the omnitrix begins beeping. Velociracer runs towards Captain Shaw's boat as fast as they can! Velociracer: "come on! Almost…. There…. I think I'm gonna-" but within a flash of red, they turn back into Hiro. "... Make it!" Hiro flies into the water! Hanzo sees Hiro and quickly runs over to Shaw. Hanzo: "man overboard! Shaw! Hiro is overboard! Bring the boat around!" Captain Shaw: "next time you're in my sights, you won't be so lucky." As he glares at the lake. Later, we see people packing their stuff and leaving the lake. Obviously, everyone's frightened by the Krakken. Hiro: "see guys, I told you. That was the same thing that tried to munch me last night. Captain Shaw and I were right. The Krakken exists!" Omni: “and it is meaner then a Appoplexian in a brawl, I tell ya. If you know what a Appoplexian is, you believe me.” Hanzo: "just because he was right about the Krakken, doesn't mean I was wrong about him. I want you to stay away from that guy. He's nothing but trouble." Hiro: "man, you're just being stubborn." Kiriko: "yeah. Don't you just hate people like that?" Hiro: "... Touché." Hanzo: "we'll leave this to the experts, Hiro. Like those Friends of Fish guys we met." Hiro: "experts? Who better to snag a lake monster than a guy with a monster buster on his wrist?!" Omni: “and pardon my fish pun but something about them seemed a little… fishy.” He said dramatically. Hanzo: "I'm afraid this is just gonna have to be 'the one that got away', son." Captain Shaw appears nearby the group. Captain Shaw: "low down, no good fish kissers!" Hiro: "Captain Shaw, what's wrong?" Captain Shaw: "the nerve of those environmental-punks! They shut down the entire lake! Nobody tells me where to sail, and nobody is gonna keep me away from reeling in the catch of the century! Nobody!" Hiro glances around as he hears Shaw rant. Later, Hiro and the others have returned to the RV, and are doing their own things. Kiriko knocks on a bathroom door in irritation. Kiriko: "come on, Hiro! What did you do, fall in?" Kiriko forces the door open, but makes sure to open it slowly, and sees no one in there! Kiriko: "oh no. He didn't!" Captain Shaw hears something behind him as he loads up his boat. Captain Shaw: "hey! No stowaways on my boat, even if ya are only a filthy rat." He finds Hiro hiding on the ship! Hiro: "uh, first mate Hamanda reporting for duty, sir?" Later, we see Captain Shaw getting ready for a dive. Hiro is standing nearby as he does so, keeping a lookout for any trouble. Captain Shaw: "she's probably been chased deep by those Fishy Friend fools. Hiding down below. Only one way to flush her out. With a little…. Live bait." Hiro: "maybe I should go with you. You know…. Just in case you run into trouble?" Captain Shaw: "no need kid. I've got my dive buddy right here, and I don't wanna get you in any more trouble than you already are. Wish me luck!" Shaw dives into the water as Hiro keeps a lookout for the Krakken or Jonah's ship. Omni: “yeesh, this guy mister friendly ain’t he.” Shaw goes deep, deep down, and comes across an amazing sight. Eggs! A ton of them! The Krakken's children! Shaw looks around before making his way back to the surface. But when he breaches the lake, he is suddenly caught by Jonah and his men! Jonah: "don't you know night diving is dangerous, old-timer? Especially without a partner? Unless, of course, you went with someone? One of your friends, perhaps?" Captain Shaw: "I work alone. I ain't got no friends, you tree-hugging sack of chum." Jonah: "what a shock. And with a sparkling personality like yours?" Captain Shaw: "I haven't anything worth stealing, either." Jonah: "oh, but you have us all wrong. All we want is information. Like what did you see down there?!" Captain Shaw: "nothin'. Same as always." Jonah punches Captain Shaw and Captain Shaw passes out as Jonah takes his mask off. Jonah: "well, I have to be sure." Hiro sees all of this on the boat and tries to activate the Omnitrix. Hiro: "come on…. Work!" Omni: “I know ya not supposed to hit it… but in this case, I’ll let it slide.” As he tried to get it to work as well. Jonah: "take Ahab here with us. Find out if he knows anything back at the cannery.” He touches a device. "We'll come back later with a mini-sub to snag the rest of the beasts eggs.” He throws the device into the water, and the device sinks. “In the meantime, I think his boat just got lost at sea!" He throws a bomb on Captain Shaw's boat! Hiro jumps off of the boat as fast as he can and avoids the resulting explosion and falling pieces, and activates the Omnitrix Hiro: "it's Hero Time!" Omni: “may I suggest we go Dreadactyl.” As Dreadactyl symbol appears on the watch. Hiro transforms in a flash of green light! The men on the boat suddenly see Dreadactyl in the air! Men 1: "is that a bird?" Men 2: "nah, looks like a plane." Jonah: "it's a giant lizard, you idiots! Man the harpoons!" Dreadactyl: "give it up! You are totally busted!" Dreadatyl battles against the men, shooting balls of plasma at them, but they overpower him with their own attacks; shooting harpoons at them and throwing things at them, and he falls into the water! Dreadactyl: "oh, man! My wings are too wet for take off! Come on! Dry off!" Jonah: "let's squish that pest once and for all, boys!" As he drives the boat towards Dreadactyl. Dreadactyl: "come one, come on…! Dry off!" Dreadactyl dodges Jonah's boat and hides behind some of the debris from Shaw's boat. Jonah: "it's getting too crowded around here. Dump the trash overboard." As he noticed the Krakken's fin. The men dump the unconscious Captain Shaw into the water as they leave, but Dreadactyl quickly saves Captain Shaw, grabbing onto him and starts flying towards the Rust Bucket. A few minutes later, we see them drawing closer to the RV. Dreadactyl: "almost…. There!" Omni: “We’re gonna make it! We’re gonna make it!” That's when the Omnitrix starts beeping. Dreadactyl: "oh, not again! Darn this time limit!" Omni: “we’re not gonna make it.” Kiriko searches for Hiro and Captain Shaw around the lake. Hanzo: "any sign of Hiro and Shaw?" Kiriko: "no, not yet…." Hiro screams as the transformation is over and he falls into an awning with Shaw. Hiro: "ugh…. I hate it when that happens." As his eyes were swirling. Omni: “you won’t believe what we found out.” As his eyes were swirling as well. A few minutes later, Hiro recaps the whole thing for Hanzo and Kiriko. Hiro: "and the Krakken's nest was full of eggs. No wonder she's been attacking everything! Jonah must be stealing her eggs, and she's looking for them!" Omni: “she isn’t a raging sea monster! She a raging sea mother looking for her baby eggs.” Kiriko: "and I think I know who Jonah is. I did a little checking on these, Friends of Fish, guys, and found out it's not listed on any environmental website. Not even as an ameture group. But I did find this. Jonah Melville isn't a friend to any kind of wildlife. He travels around the world, poaching rare animals, then crates them up and sells them to private collectors at the highest bidders!" Omni: “that inhuman monster!!! Those animals weren’t hurting anyone. This man is evil incarnate… maybe not evil incarnate but he is definitely evil.” Hiro: "he crates them up. Oh, man! I bet that crate that the Krakken took off their boat had her egg in it!" Hanzo: "it looks like we were both a little too hard headed." Hiro: "you're right. We've gotta stop him! They said something about going back to the cannery?" Captain Shaw: "all of this doesn't change a thing. Mommy or not, that beast is mine. Let's go. I have a spare boat down at the docks we can use." They nod at Shaw as they leave and begin heading towards where the spare boat is at the docks. Omni: “we’re all thinking the same thing, right?” The group gets ready to go to the Cannery, loading up the boat Shaw had. Kiriko: "I finished calling the authorities. It'll take a while until the police can get here." As Shaw gets ready to get on the boat, he sees it leaving with the Hamanda's on it! Captain Shaw: "what are ya doin'? Get back here!" Ben: "sorry, captain. This mission is way bigger than hunting a monster!" Captain Shaw: "ya don't know what you're doin'! A monster is a monster, and I know a monster when I see one." Shaw's gaze lands on a much smaller boat, making the disgruntled captain smile. Jonah sees one of his men almost dropping the egg. Jonah, "careful! Or you'll be cleaning out the world's most expensive omelet! After we sell these babies to the highest bidder, we'll be kicking back on a beach in the Bahamas. I can see it now." Kiriko and Hanzo climb up to the cannery. Hiro: "see if you can find the eggs in there." As he walks to the edge of the dock. Kiriko: "what about you?" Hanzo: "I'm gonna kick some Friends of Fish tail. With some tail!" Hiro cycles through the watch and stops at Leatherhead' figure. This time, he simply presses down, and transforms in a bright green light. He turned into Leatherhead, who looked like a buff anthropomorphic green crocodile, with sharp teeth, a yellow underbelly and a large tail. He wore some sort of no-sleeve military style jacket and a belt with the Omnitrix on it. He jumps into the water with a great splash! Jonah is underwater, in a suit of some kind. And as he goes to grab the eggs, he sees the Krakken appearing! Jonah: "the bigger the Krakken, the bigger the payday." The Krakken and Jonah fight, with Jonah being brutal in his attacks! That when Leatherhead jumps onto Jonah's suit. Leatherhead: "you wanna mess with a monster? Try me on for size." He said in what sounded like a Cajun accent. Jonah is startled, but goes on to battle the alien crocodile man. Kiriko and Hanzo get spotted by one of the men! Hanzo: "okay, buddy. We can do this the easy way or the hard way." That's when he sees the Krakken's tail and looks at some hooks above. Hanzo: “go high!!!!” He yells to Kiriko. Kiriko and Hanzo jump up as the tail knocks a great chunk of the floor away, and sends the man into the water, forcing them to hang onto some wood. Kiriko and Hanzo get down from the hooks and knock out one of the other men that tried to attack them. Kiriko: "is this the easy way or the hard way?" Hanzo: "I'm honestly not sure, heh." The Krakken lifts the eggs by the tail. Jonah: "my eggs!" Jonah attacks and causes the Krakken to drop the eggs! Leatherhead: "they aren't your eggs, boy!" As he pushes Jonah away. He catches the egg and dives further into the lake. He returns the eggs to the Krakken, who chirps in thanks to the hero. Leatherhead merely smiles and gave a nod as he made his way back to the surface of the lake. When he make his way back up, Jonah slams into Leatherhead and sends multiple punches at them! Jonah: "rescuing babies; very heroic, but not very smart!" Leatherhead jumped off of Jonah, dashed back at him, and smashed through the glass of the suit, grabbing Jonah out of the suit! He tried to counterattack by pulling out a knife and stab Leatherhead but the knife broke upon contact with Leatherhead skin. Leatherhead: "neither was that." As he gave a mighty bellow before snapping at Johan, making him flinch. “Made ya flinch.” As he headbutts Johan, knocking him out. A few minutes later, we see Leatherhead hanging an unconscious Jonah onto a wooden plank. Omni: “look like we just got the catch of the night.” Leatherhead: "why don’t ya hang here for a while, until the police can find a nice, dry lily pad for you and ya poaching buddies." He dives into the water as the police come to arrest Jonah and his men. Kiriko and Hanzo see Jonah defeated and being arrested at the docks. Hanzo: "heh. Good riddance to bad rubbish." Captain Shaw approaches them with Leatherhead in a net! Captain Shaw: "I got one! I finally got myself a Krakken. One of the eggs must have hatched. Imagine this trophy mounted on my wall." Unaware that Omnitrix timed out. Hanzo: "I think your catch of the day isn't exactly as advertised." Captain Shaw: "what?! But I could have sworn…?" As he looked at HIro in shock. Hiro: "uh, please get me outta this…." We see the Krakken as she curls around her eggs, purring in a calm manner and grateful for Hiro's help. We see the trio back at the RustBucket later. Hanzo is finishing packing up everything as Hiro and Kiriko sit across from one another. Ben: "hey, Kiriko? I'm uh…. I'm sorry for pranking you the other night." Kiriko: "it's alright. I think all of those moments of crashing into the water and such were punishment enough." As the two chuckled. Hanzo: "so Hiro? Have you named every alien yet?" Ben, "huh? Oh, yeah! Wendighost, Steeljaw, Amphi-brain, velociracer, CrystalKnight, Techjack, Leatherhead, Spectgrim, Dreadactyl and Hotshot." Hanzo: "well, I look forward to seeing them all in action…." And with that, the group was once again off on their trip across the country…. ——————————————————————— Well, ain’t this been a bit of a “fishy” episode, after finding out that the Krakken is in the lake they camp by (what are the chances by the way?), they find out that the Krakken eggs are being taken. Fortunately they were able to stop the poachers who were poaching her eggs. Leatherhead Specie: Crocoain Planet: Swa’pul Appearance: a large, anthropomorphic, green scale crocodilian alien with a yellow underbelly, sharp teeth and claws, a long and strong tail and a black, no-sleeve army jacket and a belt with the Omnitrix on it. Abilities: Leatherhead, being a crocodile alien, has the ability to swim through water easily. He is also able to tear through metal easily thanks to his sharp claws and teeth. He also has a keen sense of smell. Voice actor: Ron Perlman (using his Killer Croc voice)

Washington B.C. We hear sirens blaring loudly as a building is seen engulfed in flames! Almost everyone is out except for two people. A boy and his mother are trapped on the top floor, flames all around them. They close their eyes in terror as the ceiling caves in above them! But they feel no pain. They opened their eyes to see that Hotshot had moved the debris away. The boy: "who are you?" Hotshot: "Name Hotshot and I’m here to help." Omni: “hey what am I? Chopped liver? Im just as important as you.” As he came out of the Omnitrix and sat on top of it. Hotshot: “heh, sorry, Omni. Quick! Follow us!” Omni: “thank you.” Hotshot absorbed the flames around them, allowing them to escape. Hotshot: "follow me!" Hotshot sees that the only way out is through the window, since the stairs were destroyed. Hotshot: "this way!" Hotshot forms a shield of flames around them and flies the mother and son down to the ground. The crowd let out awed gasps. Hotshot: "no need to thank me. It was all in a day's work for a hero." That's when he caught sight of the boy holding up some rare Yokai Samurai’s cards including a double rare golden Nobunaga Oda. Hotshot: "no way! A golden Oda Nobunaga Yoka Samurai Card! Where'd you get it? I've been looking all over for that!" Omni: “a golden what now?” Confused by what Hiro said. The boy: "I won it in a box of Yokai Samurai's cereal." He replied. Hotshot: "where'd you get that?" The boy: "the Mega-Mart." That's right then the RustBucket showed up, beeping at the flaming hero. Kiriko poked her head out of the window. Kiriko: "hey! We gotta get going! The fire was just a diversion to cover up a jewelry store robbery. The bad guys are getting away!" Hotshot: "uh…. I knew that." Moments later, we see the RustBucket in a high speed car chase with the jewel robbers. Hanzo: "Hiro, please refrain from sitting down. I still need to get those fireproof seat covers!" Hotshot: "sorry Grandpa. I can't help it! I'm hot. Literally." Kiriko: "out of all of the heroes on that watch, you had to pick the one who's on fire?!" As she picked up a fire extinguisher. Hotshot: "it seemed like a good idea at the time. I had to go into a burning building!" Kiriko: "yeah, but don't you think Wendighost would have been better since he could use ice?" Hotshot: "well, I thought about using him but when I tried to turn into him, I instead turned into Hotshot." Omni: “then may I suggest you don’t slam the watch when you’re about to use it. It cause the core to randomise your choice. Give it a light tap next time.” Kiriko: "I'd have to agree. You might break the watch if you kept slamming down on it" Hotshot: "well, I think you're just jealous." Kiriko responded by spraying Hotshot with the fire extinguisher. Hanzo: "enough you two! Hiro, try to stop the car!" Hotshot: "you got it!" Hotshot opened the door to the RV and leaned out. He quickly prepared a fireball, and flung it at the car. He managed a hit that sent the car into a wall! Hotshot: "striiike!" Omni: “and it looks like you won a free game.” Hotshot jumped out and stood before the robbers as they clambered out of the car. Hotshot: "unless you guys want a terrible sunburn or worse, I recommend you put your hands against the wall where I can see them." The robbers quickly complied, putting their hands to the wall. Hotshot: "you punks picked the wrong day to be bad-" That's right when the watch timed out and Hotshot turned back into Hiro. "-guys." robber: "hey! He's just a kid! Grab the jewels!" As they heard sirens approaching. Hiro: "wow. Time sure flies when you're having fun! I've decided to let you guys off with a warning this time!" Hiro quickly ran towards where the RustBucket was as the cops surrounded the robbers. The next day, we see a man named Roger knocking on an apartment door. Roger: "yo! Animo? Animo! Open up!" No answer. Roger fished out a passkey and unlocked the door. Roger sneaked in to see numerous experiments and lab equipment everywhere. Roger: "jeez. It smells like a zoo in here. When was the last time he cleaned up?" That's when he heard the door slam shut. Roger turned around to see the culprit. An older man with a white beard and ponytail, a dirty jersey and pants, and his skin had a slight yellow tint to it. This was Dr. Animo. Animo: "how did you get in here?!" Roger: "a passkey, idiot. Comes with being a landlord. Or did you forget that you need to pay rent for these last six months?" Animo: "any money I earn goes to my research, and my bare minimum needs. Leave now. You're disturbing me and my pets." Roger: "it looks like you were disturbed long before I showed up. Listen, 'Doc', unless you want to be on the streets with your little pets, you better pony up the cash you owe me." Animo: "pony up? An interesting choice of words. Tell me, are you an animal lover? If so, you'll love this." As he smirked. Amino pulled out a frog from a nearby tank as he put on a strange looking helmet, gloves and goggles. Roger: "what's with that getup? You join a cult or something?" Animo: "this is my Transmodulator. Phase one: it creates and accelerates mutations at the genetic level. Observe!" He twists a button on his chest, activating the Transmodulator. Beams shoot out and down from the horns of his helmet, mutating the frog on the floor into a gigantic version of itself! Roger: "what the-!?" The frog hits Roger with its tongue and pulls them into their mouth! Animo: "I'm sorry! I can't hear you!? It sounds like you have a frog in your throat. Hahahahaha! Or is that the other way around?" The frog spits out Roger, who groans and passes out. Animo: "I'm sooooo close to having what is rightfully mine. That reward I so rightly deserve. All I need is a few lousy components to finish my work!" Just then, an ad on TV played. "... So whether you're in need of hair spray or state-of-the-art electronics, you'll find them under one roof at the grand opening of the district's newest Mega-Mart!" Animo: "well, as the saying goes: that is just what the doctor ordered." As he grinned wickedly. We later see Hanzo, Hiro and Kiriko at the M-Mart. As they walk down the aisle, Hiro sees a shelf lined with boxes of Yokai Samurai cereal. Hiro: "Yokai Samurai cereal. Cool. Hmm?" Hiro starts dialing the watch, snickering to himself. Omni: “hey! What you think you’re doing?” He said stopping Hiro from pressing the watch. “You know you’re supposed to use this thing to fight evil robot alien or whatever.” Hiro: “come on. Just one quick one. And beside, what are the chances of those robots attacking today?” Omni: “well, I guess when you put it like that… alright but if we get caught, I get to say I tried to stop you. And you also got to get me those sweet white fluffy things that you roast over a fire that we had last night, they were heavenly.” Hiro: “you mean marshmallow?” Omni nodded in response. “Alright, deal.” As he continues to dial the watch until he landed on the alien he wanted. Hanzo: "only canned octopus? I thought this store prided itself on a wide selection." Kiriko: "uh, Grandpa? No offense, but can we have a normal dinner for once? You know, once that doesn't involve stir-fried tentacles? I think it's something me and Hiro can agree on." Hanzo: "huh! Nonsense. Now where do you suppose they keep the sheep's bladders?" Kiriko cringes, but then hears Hiro's alien watch activate. Kiriko: "Hiro…?" Kiriko goes to the next aisle, and sees one of the boxes shaking around. Kiriko approached it, and nearly screamed as something popped out. Sitting in the box was a small gray-green alien with large fish-eyed goggles, and a black and sliver jumpsuit with the Omnitrix emblem on the back. And he were holding a Yokai Samurai card. Hiro: "yes! Found it!" Kiriko: "Ben!" Hiro: "oh, hello Kiriko. I was just using Amphi-brain to find the golden Yokai Samurai card!" Kiriko: "Amphi-brain?" Amphi-brain: "yes! This alien hold close relation to earth amphibians and is incredibly intelligent, and was able to deduce which box had the golden card in it via a series of calculations!" Kiriko: "you're supposed to use your powers to help people, not find some stupid trading-card." Amphi-brain: "come on! I deserve a reward for saving the day!" Omni: “for the record, I would like to say that I tried to stop him.” Just then, the store manager walked to Kiriko as she hid Amphi-brain behind her. The manager: "hey, if you open a box, you gotta buy it!" Kiriko: "it wasn't me! It was my cousin!" The manager: "I don't care who did it, you gotta pay for it." Kiriko grunted in annoyance. Moments later, Hanzo was looking at the box that sat in their cart. Hiro was back in human form. Hanzo: "so, why are we buying this cereal?" Hiro: "you're lucky I found it in the first one." Kiriko: "you would have trashed the aisle if I hadn't stopped ya." Hanzo: "Hiro, now I can appreciate how much this card means to you, but don't you think you're getting a little…. Obsessed? Hiro: "maybe you're right, Grandpa. I don't deserve a gold Yokai Samurai card. I mean, it's not like I rescued a bunch of people from a burning building or anything like that!?" Kiriko: "superhero guilt? Pretty low." Hiro: "hey. Whatever it takes." Omni: “now that out of the way, may I suggest we stop by whatever aisle the marshmallows are in and grabbed a few packets.” As his eyes grew wide like in a anime. Just then, Hiro saw a display that showed the entire collection of Yokai Samurai trading cards. Hiro: "huh? Whoa. Yokai Samurai cards; a complete set!" Hanzo: "come on, let's check out the pet department." Kiriko: "please tell me you aren't looking for our breakfast…?" Hanzo: "come on Kiriko. I'm not that strange." Hiro: "someday you'll be all mine." As he kept staring at the display all creepy like. Omni: “yeesh, that is creepy. Now, where are those marshmallows!” He said as he drooled like he hadn’t eaten in days. The entire shop begins to rumble as TV sets fall from their displays, and the walls burst revealing Dr. Animo mounted on his giant frog! Omni: “sweet mother of motherboard! That one big bullfrog!” As he hide in the Omnitrix. Hiro: "whoa. Hey, what do you think you're doing?" The frog uses its tongue to knock stacked boxes on top of Hiro. And in doing so, the golden card gets grabbed. Animo pockets the trinket. Dr. Animo: "don't be a hero, kid. Just run along and play." Hiro: "you are so lucky I can't go hero. And I am so getting that card back." As he looked at the uncharged watch. Omni: “I’ll give you this, you were right about that there being no alien robots today.” As he pops out of the watch. Security guards run at Animo and his frog. Security Guard #1: "freeze!" Security Guard #2: "get down off that giant…. Frog and put your hands up." As Animo rides away on the frog, the guard grabs a walkie talkie. "Uh, we got a grab and dash in Electronics. Male, five-foot-six, riding on a giant frog…. Or a toad. Trust me, you can't miss him…. No, I am not on anything!" Hanzo and Kiriko, oblivious to the situation in the pets aisle, suddenly gasp as Animo jumps into sight, and shoots a beam past the two of them, Hanzo pushing them to safety. Dr. Animo mutates a hamster and a Cockatiel into large creatures like his frog! Dr. Animo: "arise to your full potential, my pets!" Hiro runs onto the scene, as Kiriko and Hanzo scream and run away from the hamster. Hiro: "oh, man. What kind of pet food are they selling around here?" The animals all line up. Animo: "behold the genius of Dr. Animo. Nothing can stop me from getting what I deserve. Mark my words! Today I will make history, or should I say…. Prehistory!" Kiriko: "if you didn't go cereal diving, one of those heroes could be saving us from becoming hamster chow." Hiro: "no need to rub it in!" The three gasp and scream as the hamster roars, taking a step forward. As they're running, the hamster leaps over Hiro, cornering his family. Hiro looks down at the watch, knowing he can't, "go hero." Hiro: "I don't need to go hero to stop an overgrown fur-ball!" Omni: “what ya thinking?” Hiro: “something completely crazy.” As he looked at a shopping cart. As the hamster tries jumping at Kiriko and Hanzo, Hiro quickly crashes a shopping cart into a shelf, making it topple on top of the mutated pet, and knocking it out. Kiriko and Hanzo: "Hiro!" Hiro: "uh-huh! That's right! Not even giant hamsters can mess with Hiro Hamada!" The intercom: "cleanup aisle six." Dr. Animo: "young fool! You cannot stop me! I will turn, 'Washington D.C.', into, 'Washington B.C.!'" He jumps from his frog to the mutated parrot, who flies off with him through a sky light, with the frog following. The store Manager: "you saved the store! If there's anything I can do to repay you…. Anything you want." Omni: “ask for all the marshmallows in the store.” He whispers. Hiro: "well, now that you mention it…." Hanzo drags Hiro away. "Grandpa, I was finally gonna score the entire Yokai Samurai card set!" Hanzo: "no time for that now, Hiro. Maybe later. For now, we have a giant parrot to follow." Kiriko snickers at Hiro. We soon see Hanzo chasing down Dr. Animo's parrot in the RV. Hanzo: "ah, just like the good old days…. Before I retired." Kiriko: "so, exactly, what kind of plumber were you, Grandpa?" Hanzo: "uh- yuh- a darn good one. Hiro, what's the matter?" Hiro: "I save an entire Mega-Mart from being a giant hamster's chew toy, and what do I get? Nothing. It's not fair." Omni: “even I have to agree. I mean we did just save some lives after.” Hanzo: "well…. Being a hero isn't about others knowing you did something good, it's about YOU knowing you did something good. Being a hero is its own reward." Hiro: "what? Were you reading the greeting cards at the Mega-Mart?" Hanzo: "well, yes. But that's not where I got that from. An old friend of mine told me that a long time ago." Kiriko: "bingo! I found this online. Five years ago, Dr. Animo was a promising researcher in veterinary science. But it turned out he was doing all these twisted genetic experiments where he was mutating animals, and when he didn't win some big prize called the Verities Award, he flipped out. Anything about this sounds familiar, Hiro?" Hiro looked out the window, thinking about what they said. Omni: “so this Animo guy a mad genetics scientists and he used his research to make a device that accelerates animal evolution to the point they become monster? I got to admit that pretty clever, evil but clever.” Unluckily, they lost track of the parrot. Hanzo: "we've lost him. He could be going anywhere in Washington D.C." Kiriko: "or Washington B.C." Hiro: "that's it! I know where he's going: the Natural History Museum!" Omni: “and I doubt he going there for the gift shop. Step on it, “my dear man.” Everyone just looked at him funny. “What? I’m trying out the earthen lingo.” The RustBucket quickly drives in that direction. When they get there, Hiro finds a giant feather at the stairs to the museum. Hanzo: "something tells me we're on the right track. Good thinking, Ben." Kiriko: "guess even you can surprise me once in a while." Hiro: "I'll take that as a compliment." While walking Hiro finds a part of the Mega Mart electronics that were stolen, with them coming across Dr. Animo. Dr. Animo: "you…. Are very persistent. I hate persistence." Hiro: "we all know about you and your 'freakazoid experiments', Dr. Animo. It's over." Animo: "oh, but it's only just begun. See, I only needed a few components to push my work into phase two: The re-animation of dormant cells." Hiro: "uhh…. Does that mean what I think it means?" Kiriko: "I think so, and I'm frightened by what he's planning." Omni: “he bringing back the dead! He a scientist and a necromancer!” Animo: "breathing life back into that which has been long since lifeless. Observe.” he shoots a beam, re-animating a mammoth on display. “Behold the genius that is Dr. Animo." He quickly runs away. Kiriko: "now would be a really good time to go hero…." Hiro: "right. You guys get Animo, I'll take care of jumbo." Hiro quickly dials the watch, and sees the large husky dog figure. Hiro: “well, it time to go feral!!!” Hiro slams down, and transforms in a green light. Standing there was a large husky/wolf like alien with his fur a dark blue-gray with parts of his body being cream-colored. His hands have four claws and three toes on each foot. His eyes are solid yellow orbs with no pupils or irises. He wears a dark sliver vest with a red center line with the Omnitrix in the middle of it, black pants, vambraces, and iron spiked pads on his shoulders. Hiro: “alright, Manny. Time for you to face the feral fury of… STEELJAW!!!!” As he formed a pair of metal gauntlets and shows off his metal teeth. He runs towards the mammoth, and manages to punch them back! “Oh man, this alien is instantly one of my favourites.” Hanzo and Kiriko come across the giant parrot, with Kiriko picking up a spear from a caveman display. Kiriko: "Polly want a smacker? Well come and get it!" Kiriko begins beating up the giant parrot until it runs away. Kiriko: "hey, Hiro's not the only one with skills." Kiriko and Hanzo catch up to Animo, who smiles before re-animating a Tyrannosaurus Rex; King of the dinosaurs! Hanzo: "oh-" Kiriko: "-crud." The mammoth throws Steeljaw into a wall, then proceeds to charge at him again. Steeljaw: "you are so going down, peanuts." He grabs a hold of the mammoth by the tusks, and spins him into a wall, defeating him. Steeljaw: "ohh…. I think I'm gonna hurl…." Omni: “you not the only one, buddy.” As his circuits turn green. Animo flees on the back of the T-Rex, almost hitting Hanzo and Kiriko with its tail. Animo: "I'd love to stay, but I need to claim the award I so richly deserve! I'll give you something to do in the meantime!" The parrot swoops down; Kiriko gasps and screams as she's grabbed! Hanzo: "Hiro! That thing has Kiriko!" Steeljaw: "NO! LET HER GO YOU OVERSIZED WOODPECKER!" Steeljaw leaps over Hanzo to chase after the parrot and Gwen. Hanzo bends down, picking up a photograph Animo had dropped. Steeljaw grabs a hold of the parrot. Steeljaw: "oh no you don't, ya overgrown parrot!" Omni: “I suggest you let go of her before Steeljaw here go full wolverine on you, birdbrain!!!!!” The feathers Steeljaw's holding onto pluck, and as he's falling to ground he's in the midst of transforming back to Hiro. Steeljaw crashes with a huge cloud of dust. After a few moments, Hiro climbs out from the crater made by the fall and looks at Kiriko in the air. Hiro: “Kiriko!” Max: "somebody called for a taxi?" As he drives up. Hiro quickly gets into the RV, and the RustBucket begins speeding after the parrot. The parrot carries Kiriko by her backpack towards the Washington Monument Kiriko: "'spend a summer with your grandpa, honey. It'll be an adventure.'" We see Animo on the T-Rex, crushing a building. Dr. Animo, "ah, I do love my work." Kiriko, hanging from the parrot, reaches for her cell phone. Kiriko: "well, my mom said only use it in an emergency…. I guess this qualifies." We see Hiro and Omni looking out for the mutated parrot. Hiro: "no sign of beak-breath or Kiriko!" Omni: “I can’t see them either. It like finding a mutated needle in a concrete haystack.” Hanzo: "there can't be that many places for the parrot the size of an elephant to roost.” He hands over a paper to Hiro. “Here, look at what Dr. Animo left behind." Hiro: "'Dr. Kelly accepts the Verities Award.' He's gonna finally pick up on his award! We gotta stop him!" Omni: “and I have a feeling that T-Rex ain’t for just a memorable ride.” Hanzo: "first thing's first. We have to find your cousin." Hiro: "obviously. I'm not gonna let that thing hurt her. We may bicker at times, but she's still my cousin. Heck, she's more like a sister to me." Hanzo smiled at his grandson's words. For all of the bickering Hiro and Kiriko did, Hanzo could tell they truly cared for one another. And they would save Kiriko no matter what. Suddenly, the phone rings: Kiriko name is on the phone. Hiro, Hanzo and Omni: "Gwen!" Hanzo: "hang on Gwen, we're coming!" As he speaks to Kiriko on the cellphone. The mutated parrot leaves Kiriko, barely holding on the top spike of the monument. Kiriko: "I can't hold on much longer." Kiriko accidentally drops the phone! Kiriko: "ugh. Mom and dad are gonna go nuts over that." Hanzo sees Kiriko's phone hitting the ground, smashing into pieces. Hanzo: "oh no. Kiriko will be next!" Hiro: "not if I can help it. It's hero time!" Seeing the watch’s cool-down wear off. Omni: “i suggest we go for a flyer! Quick. Hiro quickly dials the watch and cycles until he sees the draconian looking figure. Hiro pressed down, and transformed in a bright green light! When it faded, standing there was a large, pterodactyl-dragon like alien with light purple skin, he wore a black and sliver outfit, had large leathery wings, sharp claws and also a long tail with a spear at the end. Hanzo: “that a big lizard.” Hiro: “I’m not just a lizard, I’m like a pterodactyl, no a Dreadactyl. This is wicked.” As he roared before taking flight. Kiriko starts falling and screaming; Dreadactyl swoops in and grabs her. Dreadactyl: "gotcha!" Kiriko: "huh? Butterfly!" Dreadactyl: “more like Dreadactyl.” Kiriko: “dreadful breath is more like it. Anyway, thanks for the save.” she then sees the giant parrot and gasps. "Incoming!" Dreadactyl: "hang on Kiriko!" Omni: “do a barrel roll!!” Dreadactyl: “you did not just say that!!!” Omni: “I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist!” (I couldn’t resist either. Sorry.) Hanzo sees the battle in the air and runs to the monument to help. Kiriko yelps while hanging onto Dreadactyl's back as they fly away from the parrot while it tries to grab them. Dreadactyl: "whoa! Watch the nails there, Tweety!" Kiriko: "oh, I think I'm gonna be sick." Omni: “me too.” As his circuit turn green again. Dreadactyl: "spew on me, and you'd better learn to fly, quick." Kiriko: "roger that!" Hanzo gets exhausted from walking up the Washington Monument. Hanzo: "like it would've killed the founding fathers to install an elevator…." Dreadactyl sees Hanzo gesturing to them from the monument. Dreadactyl "I can't shake cracker-breath. You're gonna have to trust me. Okay?" Kiriko: "trust you?" Kiriko screams as Dreadactyl drops her off from his back then grabs her by her shoulders, flying towards the Washington Monument. Hanzo: "come to Grandpa!" Dreadactyl: "now!" As he get Kiriko into his grandfather arms. As Hanzo is dragging Kiriko back into the building, the mutated parrot dives towards them, only getting knocked from its course by Dreadactyl shoulder barging it down. Hanzo: "go! Stop Animo. We're all right." Kiriko: "speak for yourself." Dreadactyl nods, and flies off. We see Dr. Kelly showing his reward to the tour group of VIPs. Dr. Kelly, "and here is my Verities Award. Of course, it was an honor just to be nominated with a distinguished group of scientists." Suddenly, Animo, on his T-Rex, smashes through a glass wall to invade Dr. Kelly's company! Animo, "Kelly! I believe you have something of mine!" Kelly, "Animo?!" Animo, "in the flesh!" He jumps down and grabs the Verities Award. Animo, "I'd like to thank the committee for this honor." The T-Rex roars, swiping its mouth towards Kelly, before Dreadactyl rushes in and swoops him up before damage can be done. But quickly gets swiped by its tail, getting up to see the gold Yokai Samurai card in a pile of rubble. Dreadactyl: "whoa, I struck Yokai Samurai gold!" Omni: “ummmm, Kid?” As he pointed at the T-Rex. Dr. Kelly, "somebody help me!" He screams as the T-Rex tries to eat him. Dreadactyl: "oh, man! This hero stuff ain't easy." As he looked at the gold Yokai Samurai card. Dr. Kelly screams while falling towards T-Rex's mouth but is saved by Dreadactyl. Animo: "what are you, you little pest?" Dreadactyl: "I'm Dreadactyl, and I'm here to kick some tail!" As he fire a blob of plasma at the T-Rex which roared in pain. Animo shoots the beam at Dreadactyl, who dodges and knocks him, making him drop the award. Dr. Animo: "NO!" Dreadactyl taps his shoulder before stealing the Transmodulator. Animo, "my Transmodulator!" Dreadactyl breaks the Transmodulator using his spear tail, and the T-Rex de-animates back into bones, causing him to fall to the ground. Animo: "no…. No! NO!" Omni: “look like his plan just went extinct. Get it? Because he was riding a T-Rex and dinosaurs are extinct?” Dreadactyl: “man, we got to work on your one-liners. But I’ll be honest, that was a good attempt.” Meanwhile, the mutant parrot who's approaching Kiriko and Hanzo turns back to normal size and perches on Kiriko's arm. Kiriko: "don't even try to kiss up to me now." The bird flies onto Hanzo's shoulder. Hanzo: "well, looks like I'm gonna need to buy some bird seed for…. Fujin, here." We see the police arrest Dr. Animo at Dr. Kelly's workplace. Dr. Animo: "let me go! I deserve that award! I've got it coming to me! I want it!" Hiro: "for some reason, that sounds kinda familiar." We see the RustBucket leaving Washington B.C., or rather, D.C. Hiro "I didn't get that gold Yokai Samurai card, but at least I snagged a trophy from Animo.” As he places part of the Transmodulator in a box. "Plus, I guess saving the city from, 'Dr. Whacko', was its own reward." Kiriko: "don't forget you saved me, too. Thanks." Hiro "yeah, well, that's what we heroes do best: Rescue our favorite dweebs." Kirko: "you are…. Such…. A major doofus." Hiro: "I know you are, but what am I?" As Hiro and Kiriko both chuckled at that. Hanzo: "oh, Hiro. I got you something." Hiro grew wide-eyed as he saw Hanzo pull out the complete set of trading cards! Hiro: "thank you so much Grandpa!" Hanzo: "well, I figured you deserved a little reward for everything you did today. Unlike Animo, you deserve it." Hiro could only smile as he looked at the cards. Omni: “hey what about me? I had just as much to do with stopping Animo as Hiro did.” Hanzo: “don’t worry. I didn’t forget about you. Check the cupboard.” Omni: “okay.” As he went over to the cupboard and open it to find… three packets of marshmallows. “Ekkkkk! Marshmallows!!!!” As he open one bag and dived into it. “I have never been more happy.” As he grabbed a marshmallow and open his head and stuff a marshmallow in it. Kiriko chuckled as she went back over to her laptop. Sitting on the top of the fridge was Fujin, who Gwen kept giving dirty looks to. Hanzo only chuckled as the trio continued their journey across the country…. ——————————————————————— So, this episode was a real “blast from the past,” weren’t it? After making a stop in Washington D.C for supplies, Hiro encountered the deadly Dr Animo and his mutant animals. Fortunately, he was able to stop him from getting his revenge.

We see two large ships in a heated chase through outer space! One was small, shaped like a trident and was speeding through the asteroids around them. The ship pursuing it was large, whiteish purple and made of some sort of futuristic neon metal. On the bridge of the larger ship, many sliver, single red eye drones were working the controls. Just then a door open which caused all the drones to gasp… only to find out that it was just another drone. Drone 1: “how it looking?” Drone 2: “not good.” Drone 1: “oh he’s not gonna like that.” He said worried. Just then, the door open again which caused everyone to freak out again… only for it to be a smaller, greyish drone. Drone 3: “anything good to report?” Drone 1 and 2: “no.” Drone 3: “oh he not gonna like this.” He said as he left the room. Seconds later, the door open again, only for it to be the same drone again. “What should I tell him?” Drone 1: “tell him that we have managed to catch up to the ship with the device aboard but we haven’t disabled it yet.” Drone 3: “oh he’s really not gonna like this.” As he wipe his forehead and left the room again. Once again, the door open again. Drone 1: “oh for the love of… what now?!?” He said completely annoyed. Only for the smaller drone to be held by a mechanical claw. Drone 3: “(strained) he didn’t like it.” As the claw dropped him. The claw belong to a tall, lean robotic-like figure, as we can see that he has metallic sliver, purple and cyan skin and bright red cybernetic eyes with a white mask covering the front of his face. He wore a long black cape that reach his knees and had spiked broad shoulders and one large spikes coming out of his forehead with three smaller spikes. This was lord Zemerik, a ruthless robotic conqueror. Drone 1: “ahhhh! Lord Zemerik! H-h-how are you? As you can see, my l-l-l-lord, we have the ship in sight.” Zemerik: "Good!” He yelled in a deep booming voice. “Keep the ship in sight! I don't care if it's destroyed! I want the Omnitrix! By any means necessary!" All Drones: “yes lord Zemerik!!!!!!!” As they all went back to work. On the smaller ship, we see a tall and slender figure with a strange head piloting the ship. The figure was female. Female figure: "at this rate; I'll be blown up before I can get this thing to Earth. But I need to get it to him!" Right at that moment, both ships had drawn closer to a familiar blue and green planet. Earth! Female Figure: "Sending the Omnitrix. Let's hope he can find it. It's going to be at the old campsite we used to go to in a few hours. Hopefully it will reach him soon!" Right at that moment, the small ship was hit by a blast from the larger ship. The smaller ship rocketed towards Earth, a rather snowy area at that as the figure got into some sort of stasis pod. Zemerik: "what just happened!?" Drone: "sir, the ship has crashed on this planet; Earth. They already sent the Omnitrix down there. We cannot retrieve it until it lands. We can pinpoint the coordinates in a few hours." Zemerik: "Do it as fast as you can! I must have the Omnitrix!" But as he yelled this, suddenly, a series of asteroids began crashing into the ship! Zemerik: "what's going on?!" Drone: "the ship is taking damage! We have to pull back!!!!" And before they could blink, a huge asteroid headed towards the bridge, smashing into it! The aftermath of the carnage showed Zemerik having survived the impact and heading into the more intact part of the ship as several other drones began making repairs. In a town called Bellwood, school had just let out for summer vacation! As all of the kids run out, we focus on one kid in particular. A boy around the age of twelve. He had frizzy black hair and opal blue eyes. He was wearing a sliver shirt with a blue sigil in the middle of it and sliver on the edge of the sleeves. He had a navy jacket over his shirt, but he had to roll the sleeves up a little, since it was a little big on him. And he wore dark brown pants and black shoes. This was the hero of our story, (ironically) called Hiro Hamada. As Hiro walked out, he saw two other boys picking on a younger kid. One was skinny, wearing a red shirt and blue pants with black hair. Cash. The other was bigger, with a green jacket, glasses, brown hair and shorts. JT. Hiro approached the boys as they spoke to the younger kid. Cash: “Come on. We didn't beat you up that much this year. The least you could do is do our homework over the summer!" JT: “yeah. Really, you owe us!" Hiro: “leave him alone, jerks." The bullies turned to Hiro as the younger kid ran. Cash: "what's wrong Hiro? We were just doing our best to get our work done." Hiro: "by beating up a kid two grades below you. Great job!" JT: "oh, you're just asking for a whooping, aren't ya Hamada?" Hiro: "I'm not scared of you guys." As he tried to look tough. JT: “oh? Wanna bet?" Cash and JT cracked their knuckles as they drew closer to Hiro, who put up his hands with a worried look on his face. A few minutes later, Hiro was sitting in the nurse's office. His eye was slightly bruised. He also had some bandages on his arm. Cash and JT were in chairs across from him, glaring at him. JT had a towel pressed up to a bloody nose, and Cash had a cold rag pressed up to his eye. Nurse: “Hiro, your grandfather here to pick you up.” Hiro instantly smiled as he got up and practically ran outside. When he got outside, standing there was an older man wearing a dark brown shirt, well kept black trousers, and he had a black goatee. His hair was mostly black, with it tied back. This was Hanzo Hamada, Hiro's grandpa. Hiro: "Grandpa!" Hanzo: "hey there Hiro!" Hiro hugged his grandfather with a huge smile on his face. Hiro, "I've been so excited to go on this trip with you!" Hanzo: "me too kiddo…. Now, what's this about a fight?" Hiro sighed as he and Hanzo began walking out of the school. Hiro: "Cash and JT were picking on a younger kid. Threatening to beat him up. I stepped in to stop them, and they totally kicked my butt. I didn't even throw the first punch!" Hanzo: "good. I don't like you getting into fights, but I'm glad you had a reason to do so. And that it was self defense." Hiro: "you always taught me never to start a fight, but if I get into one, be the one to finish it." Hanzo: "and did you?" Hiro: "I gave JT a bloody nose and Cash a black eye before they gave me this bruise. I bet this leave a cool scar" Hanzo: "that's my boy. Just uh, don't tell your parents you got into a fight. You know how they are about violence." Hiro: "you mean mom. Dad encourages me to defend myself. Mom's a pacifist." Hanzo: "well, we shouldn't judge her for it." At that moment, the two of them stood outside of an old RV that Hanzo traveled in. The RustBucket. On the side, there were some old painted words that read; Hanzo's Plumbing. Hanzo used to be a plumber before he retired, that's what Hiro knew anyway. Hiro: "ah, the good 'ol RustBucket! I've been so excited for this trip!" Hanzo: "now uh, Hiro? I need to tell you, someone else is going on this trip with us." Hiro "oh? Who?" Hanzo "well…." Hanzo opened the door, and Hiro grew wide-eyed at who was standing there. Standing there was a girl the same age as Hiro, with brown eyes, short red hair tied back in a fox-style tail, white pants and a red shirt with a kitsune (a Japanese fox spirit) on it. She had a red headband with small ears on it as well, with a pin in her hair. This was Hiro's cousin, Kiriko. Hiro: "Kiriko?!" Kiriko: "nice to see you too, cuz." As she gave off a big smile. Hanzo climbed into the RV and made his way to the driver's seat. Hanzo "I picked up your suitcase from home, Hiro." Hiro: "thanks Grandpa." Hiro got into the RustBucket and closed the door, looking at Kiriko as she went to sit down. Hiro: "and why are you here?" Kiriko: "our parents thought it would be a good idea if we BOTH went on this trip with Grandpa. So we could bond." Hiro: "then how come your brother's not here?" Kiriko: "you mean Mr Perfect? Jin is going to summer camp this year." Hiro: "well this summer is off to a great start." Hanzo: "alright you two, get into your seats! We're off!" As Hiro sat down across from Kiriko, who had begun typing on a laptop, the RustBucket began driving. Kiriko: "what happened to your eye?" Hiro: "uh…. I bumped into a door?" Kiriko: "you got into a fight, didn't you?" Hiro: "it was Cash and J.T. They were gonna beat up another kid. What was I supposed to do? Just walk away?" Kiriko honestly didn't have an answer. So, they dropped the subject. Hiro "so, Grandpa, where are we headed first?" Hanzo: "an old campsite. I used to take both your father's on camping trips. I once took your grandma's there." Kiriko: "I've always wondered; whatever happened to Grandma Kunezai?" Hiro: "yeah, and Grandma Krystal?" Hanzo: "well, uh, Kunezai and I got together when we were very young. After Kenji was born, Kunezai and I drifted apart. We still cared for one another, but mostly as friends. Now she travels all the time. We still talk now and then. And she still contacts your father when she has time. When Frank was five, I met Krystal at work. We began dating, and eventually, Genji was born. We spent a long time together. And, unlike with Kunezai, the spark never really left." Hiro: "will we ever meet them?" Hanzo: "I'm sure you will one day." Kiriko "what happened to Grandma Krystal?" Hanzo: "that's a story for another time. And a difficult story to explain." Hanzo chuckled as Hiro shrugged and started playing on a gaming console while Kiriko went back to her laptop. Later, the RustBucket arrived at the campsite. Hanzo: "well, we're here!" Hiro woke up from a nap as Kiriko marked her place in the book she was reading. The three of them got out of the RV, and saw the beautiful clearing around them. A picnic table and a fire pit sat at the site. Kiriko: "wow. Grandpa, it's beautiful!" Hanzo: "I knew you'd love it. Now, let's start setting up camp. I'll set up the tents before I begin dinner. I hope you kids are in the mood for some roasted squid!" Hiro and Kiriko cringed at that. The one thing they could never understand about their grandpa was his strange taste in food. Hiro already got enough of it from his mom, since she liked to eat vegan food. Hiro: "do you have anything edible in your bag?" He whispered to Kirko. Kiriko: "I've got several candy bars I got to keep from selling them for my school. Along with a few donuts that I managed to stash away. What about you?" Hiro: "I've got some sweets, chocolates and cookies I packed as snacks for the trip. Think we can make those last this summer?" Kiriko: "I doubt it. I'll try to convince Grandpa to make some normal food." Hanzo walked out of the RV with some tents ready to set up. Hanzo: "now, who wants to get firewood, and who wants to help me set up camp?" Hiro: "I'll get the firewood!" Kiriko: "I'd be happy to help with the tents." Hanzo: "good! Glad to see you two finding some common ground." Hiro: "one of the things we can agree on; you can actually pitch a tent." Kiriko: "true. Don't go too far." Hiro: "hey, careful is my middle name." Kiriko: "really? I thought it was Long?" Hiro: “donut dork.” Kiriko: “braveheaded dweb.” With that, Hiro made his way into the woods to find some firewood. A few minutes later, Hiro had a bundle of sticks in his arms. Hiro: "a great start to summer vacation. I get into a fight, my cousin joins the trip, and Grandpa thinks grasshoppers are a delicacy. If only something awesome would happen!" That's when Hiro saw it. What looked like a meteorite crashing into a nearby clearing, shaking the ground! Hiro: "woah! That's something!" Back at camp, Hanzo and Kiriko could feel the ground shake from there! Kiriko: "woah, what was that?" Hanzo: "I dunno, but it doesn't seem good. Go find Ben, I'll finish setting camp up." Kiriko: "alright Grandpa." With that, Kiriko made her way into the woods. Hiro slowly approached what he thought was a meteorite. What he found in a crater was a big metal case of some kind. Hiro: "woah, freaky." Hiro slowly approached, and the case opened up! Hiro peaked in, and saw what was within the case. It looked like a watch of some kind. It had tubes on the sides, and a small dial on the top, with a green hourglass symbol on it. Hiro: "cool…." As Hiro got closer, a green light from the watch began scanning him! Omnitrix: "DNA signature confirmed. Omnitrix preparing to attach." Hiro: "wait wha-" The watch suddenly lunged forward like a facehugger, and flung itself onto Hiro's wrist, fusing to his skin! Hiro: "aahhh! Get off! Get off!" Hiro tried prying the watch off, but it was stuck to his skin, almost like it was a part of him! Hiro grabbed a branch and tried to pry it off, but no luck! Just then a male voice could be heard. ???: “attention, human. Please calm the flark down!” The voice yelled. Hiro: “what the?!?” As he tried to calm himself down as he stared at the watch. “Did the watch just spoke?” ???: “no the “watch” did not spoke but the Omnitrix Multipurpose Artificial Intelligence just spoke.” As a small blob of purple goo appeared on the watch. The goo then changes to look like a small humanoid with yellow-orange eyes and purple pupils. Hiro: “the Omni what now?” He said confused. ???: “(sigh) Just call me Omni. Make it easier on both of us.” Hiro: “really? Well then, “Omni”, I don’t suppose you could, I don’t know… GET THIS WATCH OFF OF ME!” As he fiddled with the Omnitrix when it suddenly sprung up! “What the? Did I break it?” Omni: “nah. It not easy to break.” As Hiro saw the silhouette of a humanoid husky dog. Hiro grew more curious and moved the dial around. The image changed to what looked like a humanoid draconian creature with a pointed tail and wings. Than a ghost with broken shackles. Then finally, a slim figure that looked like it head and tail was made of flames. Hiro: "so, do I just-?" He looked at Omni. Omni: “go ahead.” He gestured towards the watch. Hiro pressed down, and he was suddenly engulfed in a green light! Hiro felt his body transform! When the light faded, Hiro was now a new creature! He looked like he were made of living flames, with skin made of red rock and magma, a dark purple crustacean shell of some kind was strapped to their shoulder and a flaming tail. The symbol on the watch was on his chest. Hiro looked down at his hands, which were made of flames, and felt his face, confirming it was made of rocks as well! Omni: “wait for it.” As he counted down using his fingers. Hiro: “"aaaagggghhhh! I'm on fire! I'm on fire!" Luckily, Hiro was able to calm down for a moment and look at himself. He wasn't in pain. Hiro: "I'm on fire…. But I'm fine? What…. Am I?" Omni: “a Pyronite. Beings that are literally made of living fire.” Hiro: “a Pyro what?” As he accidentally shot a ball of fire at the ground! Hiro saw the fire he started, and quickly put his hand forward, and somehow absorbed the fire! Hiro: "woah! Cool. I'm like some kind of…. Hotshot? I like the sound of that." Omni: “Hotshot? Good name. Perfect fit.” Right at that moment, Kiriko showed up looking around. Kiriko "Hiro? Hiro! H-" That's when she saw the newly named Hotshot standing there. Hotshot: "um…. Hi?" Kiriko: "aaaaagh!" Kiriko quickly grabbed a small bottle of pepper spray from her pocket and sprayed the substance into Hotshot’s eyes! Hotshot: "ow! Pepper spray? Really?!" Kiriko: "stand back! I'll scream!" Hotshot: "calm down you doughnut dork! What is your deal?" Kiriko: "wait…. Doughnut Dork? Hiro?!" Hotshot: "yeah? Who else calls you that?” Kiriko: "okay, you're definitely Hiro. But…. What the heck happened to you?" Hotshot: "I dunno. I found this weird watch. It called itself an; Omnitrix. It jumped onto me, and when I fiddled with it, I became…. This?" Omni: “you also met me, the Omnitrix multipurpose artificial intelligence. But call me Omni for short.” That's when they heard someone running towards them. Hanzo: "Kiriko? Are you alright? I hea-" Hanzo saw Hotshot and Kiriko. Kiriko: "hey Grandpa. Guess who I found?" Hotshot: "heh. Hey Grandpa." Hanzo: “Hiro?” A few minutes later, the three of them sat around the campfire. Hotshot had lit the fire for them, as a way to show his powers off. Hotshot: "and before I knew it, I became this…. Monster." Hanzo: "you're not a monster, you're an alien." Kiriko and Hotshot looked at Hanzo confused. Hanzo: "well, uh, look at him! He doesn't look like anything from Earth!" Hotshot: "am I gonna be stuck like this?" Omni: “don’t worry. If my calculations are correct, and I’ll be honest I have no idea if they are even accurate, then you should be just about to-“ Just then, the symbol on Hotshot's chest started blinking red, and he was engulfed in a red light! When the light faded, Hiro was back in human form! “Change back.” Hiro: "alright! I'm back!" Kiriko: "how did that happen?" Omni: “they’re a time limit on the Omnitrix. Can’t remember why though. My memory a little fuzzy. I can only remember my name and everything about the Omnitrix and it contents.” Hiro: "right." Hanzo: "so that must be the time limit. You can transform for ten minutes, and then this Omnitrix thing has to recharge or something." Omni: “that the basic gist of it.” Kiriko: "well, what do we do now?" Hanzo: "for now, I'm gonna go see the rangers. Hopefully no one else noticed that thing crashing." Hanzo walked off down a path, a sign nearby reading: Ranger's Office 1 mile away. On the large ship from before, Zemerik was sitting on a metal throne in his ship which had suffered heavy damage from the asteroids. Zemerik: "what news do you bring me?" Drone 1: "repairs are underway, Lord Zemerik. The ship will be fully repaired in a few months.” Drone 2: "and we have tracked down where the Omnitrix has landed on Earth." Zemerik: "good. Send several Nullifers to apprehend the Omnitrix." Drones: "yes, my Lord." Zemerik: “of all the planet to send the Omnitrix to, it just had to be this one.” Back on Earth, Hiro was looking over the symbols on the watch. Kiriko: "what are you doing?" Hiro: "I'm looking at how many of these aliens I have on this thing. It looks like there's only ten right now." Kiriko: "heh. Does that make you; Hiro Ten?" Hiro: "very funny." Omni: “it is pretty funny.” Holding back a snicker. Kiriko: "I don't know if you should be fiddling with that thing." Hiro "oh come on! Aren't you even a little curious?" Kiriko: "well…." Hiro suddenly activated the watch, and started looking over the symbols. Ben, "I named the fire guy: Hotshot! I'm gonna name all of the aliens, in order to remember them better." Kiriko: "of course you would name them." Hiro flipped through the silhouettes. A smaller figure with big eyes, a figure that looked like it was made of crystals, a reptile of some kind, the ghost, the husky dog man, a humanoid crocodile of some kind, a droopy looking figure, the Draconian creature, and finally, a tall thin deer of some kind with large claws. Kiriko: “whoa, look at that one. Looks like some sort of wendigo.” Hiro: “more like a Wendighost.” Omni: “clever. Pretty obvious but clever.” Hiro pressed the dial down, and was engulfed in green light as he transformed! Kiriko shielded her eyes. When the light faded and she looked back, standing there was a large purple furred creature with cyan horn antlers. It had huge purple claws, smaller icy blue hoof’s and a long bone white tail with small blue spikes along it. It had sharp teeth with green eyes and a skull mask covering it face. The Omnitrix was on the alien chest which was covered in ice. Wendighost: “brrrrr. When did it get so cold. It the start of summer.” As he shivers. Kiriko: “what are you talking about? It the same temperature it alway been.” Omni: “I can answer that. The Feshinterian are incredibly cold due to the fact that they have the ability to create ice and even freeze things.” As he rubbed his hands together. Wendighost: “wait ice creation? Freeze things? Like this.” As he touch a tree and ice instantly started to cover it. “Oh cool. What else can this guy do?” Omni: “they can use the ice to create claws and armor for themselves and can even see thermal radiation.” Kiriko: “like a heat seeker?” Omni: “exactly. They also have enhanced hearing, sight and even smell.” Suddenly, Wendighost covered his ears like he heard something loud. Kiriko: “Hiro, what is it?” Wendighost: “I don’t know but… it coming this way!” Suddenly several purple drone with guns jumped out of the forest and around the three of them. One of them scan Wendighost and identify the Omnitrix. Nullifer: “Omnitrix identify. Nullifer retrieval protocol engaged.” As they aim their blasters at them. Omni: “It’s them! The guys who attacked the ship that launched the pod I was in. they’re after the device!” One of the Nullifers flew at Kiriko, who yelled in fright before Wendighost jumped into the air and slashed at it with razor sharp ice claws! Wendighost: “you want it?” As he took a fighting pose. “Then come and get it!” The rest of the Nullifers focused on Wendighost and began attacking them. Wendighost kept jumping at the drones, slashing them, freezing them and even biting into them as if they were a chew toy. As one was about to attack him from behind, Kiriko quickly threw a large rock at it, smashing its head! Wendighost: “thanks for the save.” Within a few minutes, all of the Nullifers were on the ground in pieces, and Wendighost turned back into Hiro. Hiro: "well…. That was something." Back on the ship. Zemerik: "what happened?" Drone: "the Nullifers were destroyed. By a Feshinterian." Zemerik: "impossible! Unless…. Someone has found the Omnitrix!" Drone: "sir, shall we send more Nullifers?" Zemerik: "no. Send one of the Titans to retrieve the Omnitrix. Kill the wielder if they have to. But I! Want! The! OMNITRIX!" As he slammed his fist down on his throne. Drones: “yes, Lord Zemerik.” Hanzo had just arrived at the rangers office, when his gaze went up. And what did he see in the sky? A large object heading towards the edge of the campsites. Hanzo: "that can't be good." When the object landed, it slowly began to transform into a very large robot! It had two large cannons on it right arm and a large pincer claw for a left hand. It had its orders. Find the Omnitrix. Hiro and Kiriko were looking at the drones. Hiro: "what did these things want?" Kiriko: "well, they showed up right after that watch crashed nearby. You don't have to be a wiz-kid to connect the dots." Hiro: "you're a wiz-kid?" Kiriko: "ha ha, very funny." Omni: “they’re called themselves Nullifers and I have a feeling that they’re just the grunts. Their master sent them to get the Omnitrix and me but why? That I don’t know unfortunately.” That's right When they heard the loud footfalls of the robot that had landed. Hiro and Kiriko: "Grandpa!" The two kids began running in the direction Hanzo had gone. The Titan was lumbering around, shooting the area with it cannon lasers as people ran for their lives. It grabbed a car with it pincer claw and snapped it in half like a twig. Hanzo was hiding behind a car, staring at the robot. Hiro and Kiriko: "Grandpa!" Hanzo turned to see Hiro and Kiriko running towards him. Hanzo: "what are you kids doing here?" Kiriko: "we got attacked by a bunch of drones. They looked like a ton down version of THAT!" The Titan continued to shoot the area, right as the Omnitrix powered back up! Hiro: "maybe one of these guys can stop that thing." Hiro once again cycled through the list of aliens. The droopy looking figure, the crocodile man and Hiro stopped on the crystal looking figure. Hanzo: "try that one!" Hiro: "why?" Hanzo: "I've uh…. Just got a feeling." Which made Omni curious. Hiro shrugged as he ran over to a nearby tree to change without anyone seeing him. A flash of green shined from behind the tree. And as the Titan took a step towards a car, several crystals lodged themselves into their side! The Titan turned to see what had done that. Standing there was a large man made of shining green and blue crystals. He wore some sort of suit over their torso and legs, leaving their arms and head showing. The armor was half black and half sliver with blue lines. It was Hiro in another alien form! Hiro: "hey! You got a problem, big, tin and ugly?" The robot started shooting at Ben, who blocked the lasers and bounced them into a nearby boulder! Hanzo: "yeah! Way to go H- er, crystal knight guy!" Hiro: "CrystalKnight. Definitely a creative name!" Omni: “I like it too. LOOK OUT!!!!!” As he pointed at the titan. The titan shot at CrystalKnight, who quickly formed a shield out of their left hand! CrystalKnight: "woah! If I can make a shield, then…?" CrystalKnight formed his other hand into a sword! CrystalKnight: "wicked! Alright ya overgrown tin can, prepare yonself for a medieval style butt kicking." The Titan then threw a tree right at Kiriko! CrystalKnight ran forward and sliced the tree down the middle. Kiriko: "thanks for the save." CrystalKnight: "you're welcome. Now, get to safety!" Kiriko nodded and ran off as CrystalKnight started running at the Titan. He slammed his foot into the ground, and suddenly, a bunch of large crystals emerged from the ground and pierced the robot's legs! CrystalKnight launched himself into the air with a large crystal they formed! They thrust their sword hand forward, and several crystals embedded themselves into the robot's arms! And with a mighty slash of their sword, CrystalKnight split the Titan's head right down the middle! The robot fell onto the ground with a mighty fall as the crystal hero stood atop them. Hanzo and Kiriko cheered as everyone else in the around looked on in confusion and awe. CrystalKnight: "aw yeah! Who's the man!" As he formed his weapon back into his hands. Hanzo and Kiriko gestured for him to tone it down. CrystalKnight: "well, uh, I guess my work here is done. See ya later!" He quickly ran back into the woods back towards camp as Hanzo and Kiriko sneaked their way back as the rangers started getting all of the people together. Back on Zemerik ship, he had just seen the battle between CrystalKnight and the Titan. Drone: “oh dear. Apologies my lord but it would seem that even a Titan has lost against the wielder of the Omnitrix.” Zemerik: “indeed. This… is most excellent.” As he tent his fingers. Drone: “my lord? What do you mean?” Confused by his master expression. Zemerik: “if even a simple human being is able to use the Omnitrix like this then imagine what I could do with it. We may have failed to retrieve it but we have succeeded in seeing what it can do.” We later see Hiro, Hanzo and Kiriko back at camp. Hiro: "that was awesome! I felt like a hero back there!" Kiriko: "even I have to admit…. That was awesome." Hanzo: "as long as you have that thing on your wrist, I'm sure we'll see more things like that. We're gonna need to be prepared this summer." Omni: “not surprising. This is basically one of the most powerful device in the universe! Anyone who want to conquer the world would want this.” Hiro: "hey, as long as we work together, nothing can stop us!" Hiro enthusiasm was infectious. Hanzo chuckled as Hiro reenacted his fight, while Kiriko facepalmed. The next day, Hanzo and Kiriko had woken up and changed into their normal clothes. Hanzo: "hey, where's Hiro?" As soon as he said that, another alien appeared before them as fast as light! It looked like a bi-pedal blue lizard, with a long tail and balls for feet. They wore a black and sliver suit, and wore a black helmet over their head, with a helmet covering their face with a blue X on it. The helmet retracts, showing his blue raptor-like face with black lips, sharp fang and yellow eyes. Hiro: "hey guys! Let 'ol Velociracer clean up this campsite!" The now named Velociracer began running around, cleaning up the campsite in a matter of seconds! Velociracer: "get it? Velociracer? Because he look like a Velcoraptor and he can run really fast." Omni: “better than my idea: slipspeed.” Kiriko: "ugh, that terrible. And just where were you?" Velociracer: "oh, just tying up some loose ends." Back at the school, Cash and JT were hung up on the flagpole by their underpants. JT: "um…. How did we get up here?" Cash: "how the heck should I know?!" At that moment, the kid they had been bullying walked over. Cash: "hey! Get us down from here!" The kid picked up a nearby rock and threw it up, hitting JT right in the nuts! JT: "OW!" The kid: "payback, jerkwads!" As he laughed. Velociracer then turned back into Hiro. Hiro: "I have a feeling this is the start to a great summer." Hanzo: "I think so too." Kiriko: "it's certainly going to be an interesting one." Omni: “well then, let’s get going, ladies and gents. The summer has just begun.” And with that, the three of them made their way back onto the RustBucket, starting off a summer that none of them would soon forget…. ——————————————————————— A retelling of one of my favourite childhood series: Ben 10, but with a different character finding the watch instead of Ben. I also replaced Vilgax with a oc Villain named Zemerik who a combination of Ramattra from Overwatch, Zurg from Lightyear and Darth Maul from Star Wars. He would be voiced by Sam Witwer who voiced Darth Maul in both Clone Wars and Rebels. The chapters will mainly following the basic plots of the episodes, but the events for some will be totally different. Most of season 1 will remain the same, the major change will happen in the middle of season 2. One detail I added was, some of the aliens wear different clothing: Such as Hotshot wearing a CrabDozer shell, Amphi-brain wearing goggles, etc. I also be included some original aliens like Wendighost. You’ll see some more later on. Speaking of Wendighost, here his profile: Wendighost (original own by Spyro2108) Specie: Feshinterian Planet: Anur Viscollus Appearance: a tall purple fur deer-like humanoid with a bone mask covering it face, purple claws, icy blue antlers, ice covered hooves and a long bone white tail with small blue spikes poking out of it. Abilities: Wendighost is able to create ice armor and claws and can almost instantly freeze things through touch. Wendighost also has heightened senses, durability and enhanced agility and immunity to the cold. Wendighost can also see thermal signatures. Voice actor: Benjamin Diskin

Some time after the defeat of mechtavies destroyer, Dan kuso and drago are drawn into another adventure with old friends, one who was thought long gone Prologue It been a few weeks since me and drago defeated the nonets and mechtavius destroyer, human, bakugan and mechtogan are living in harmony with each other. Now me and drago are setting our sight on the future and we are prepared to face it. Episode 1 At the centre of the new vestroia, the bakugan home world, the spirit of wavern was watching over the world when a sudden blinding light appeared and her body became enveloped by a rainbow colour light, “what is this?” She asked. “Vestroia is in danger and it requires your help, wavern.” A mystery voice said, “who... who are you?” She asked confused, “where is this place?” “Question that will be answered another time,” A pale rainbow colour light envelope wavern changing her form. “In order to deal with this new threat, you need a new form.” As the light vanished, it revealed wavern body taking on a more humanoid shape with the spike on her heel were slightly longer making her feet look like high heels. her top chest has a curved v-neck breast plate, her tail become more spear-like with a hole in the middle of it and in the middle of her chest was a rainbow colour diamond, her hair had become more shorter and she had gain a white, magenta and gold colour pattern. “May I present the new haos prism wavern.” The voice said with proudness in him, “I made you stronger, faster and a little bit younger, now seek out the one the you share a bond with, the one called runo misaki, she will be your new partner, after that, find Dan kuso and drago, they will need your help.” wavern body begins to get smaller and took the shape of a sphere then a portal open and wavern began to sank into it but before she fully submerged into it, the voice true form revealed itself to be a dragonoid, “stop the darkness that has risen and save our world, go wavern.” At bakugan city, the blue haired haos brawler, runo misaki was looking towards the ocean, thinking about Dan and drago when the world around her suddenly froze around her and a portal open above her with a white, magenta and gold colour bakugan sphere. “Is this a... bakugan?” Runo said. Then the light reappear then surrounded runo and as the light disappeared, time resumed, runo was gone. Far out on the sea, on a sail boat, Dan and drago was complaining about their friends back home. Drago then remembered about wavern and how in order to make sure that her twin brother, naga couldn’t get his hand on the infinity core, he had to kill her, “I still remember that day.” Drago said. Then, a light appeared above them and out of it came runo! She landed face first onto the deck of the boat and then she got up. “Runo!? How did you get here?” Dan yelled. “Dan!? Drago!?” Runo yelled back. “It been a while, old friend” a female voiced said. “That voiced” drago said as he instantly recognised that voice. Then, the bakugan that saw came tumbling down to the boat deck and popped open. The top of it open up and spun around for a second and stopped. “Hello old friend.” The bakugan said. “WAVERN?!?! Everyone else yelled out. “How are you alive?” Drago asked. “Some sort of spirit gave me this, it made my body stronger and younger, then it sent me to find you, it said that vestroia was in danger, it said that runo was my new partner. Wavern explained. “You mean that like me and Dan, you and runo now share a switch code?” Drago asked. “I believe so.” Just then another light appeared in front of the group and they were pulled into it. “Not again!” Runo yelled. Then everything went black. “Dan! Dan, wake up!” Dan heard runo voice in the darkness. He had opened his eyes to find in the middle of nowhere with runo, drago and wavern in front of him. He then stood up with Runo. “Where are we?” Dan asked “don’t know. But there go to be someone nearby.” Runo said. “And what has come into our hunting zone?” A mystery voice said, Dan, runo, drago and wavern turned to see a pair of people, the one on the left wearing large tattered clothing with mud brown hair while the one on the right was wearing thin clothing with his hair having a few streak of green, they both had gauntlet on their arms. “You should have made sure that you didn’t come into the hunting territory of rinzler, the ventus swarming Hunter.” The green haired person said. “And I am Horus, otherwise know as the subterra pharaoh.” The other one said. “And by wondering here, you are trespassing on our master’s territory, either fight for your life or become prisoner.” They both raise up their gauntlet in a dramatic fashion. “Gauntlet power strike!” They yell out. “Well, what are you waiting for, activate your gauntlets!” Horus said. Rinzler look at Dan and Runo and saw that they don’t have any gauntlet. “They don’t have ones, Horus” he said. “Well, this will be quicker than I thought.” He said grimly. Just then they heard the roar of an engine nearby. “What is that?” Runo asked. They saw a motorcycle drive off a nearby cliff and landed near Dan and Runo without a scratch. “Well now, what have we got here?” The biker removed his helmet revealing brown spiked hair and blue eyes. “When I saw a burst of light earlier, I had to check it out but to think I find the legendary Dan kuso himself, the name valon.” The biker said. “GRR! What the big idea?” Rinzler yelled out. “Keep a cool head, rinzler, remember, those two are without gauntlet, so it will be easy picking.” Horus said. “I wouldn’t count your razewing till they hatch, catch.” Valon tossed out two gauntlet towards Dan and Runo. “This new gauntlet come with their own Baku-launcher to deploy your bakugan with swift speed and they are up to date with information from battle gear to mechtogan knowledge.” Valon said. “Let show them what we got, drago.” Dan said as he and Runo put on their gauntlets. “Gauntlet power strike” they said raising their gauntlet in the air. “I’m going first, gate card set!” Rinzler said as he set down a card that glowed green across the field. “Bakugan brawl! Baku-sky raider jump! Rise, ventus Hama!” The bakugan revealed to have a be humanoid insect with it having mandible, antenna and an exo-skeleton. “I am one of the greatest Hunter in all of the land, I am ventus Hama.” The large bakugan said. “My turn, bakugan brawl! Bakugan stand, go subterra jackal Anubis!” The bakugan appeared to have been similar to a large bipedal, canine-like creature with armour on him that was similar to ancient royal Egyptian wear. “Fight against us and you shall fall beneath us.” The bakugan said in a deep booming voice. “G-power level detected” the gauntlet said revealing Hama to have a g-power of 1300 while Anubis had a g-power of 1400. “Whoa! 1400 and 1300?!” Dan exclaimed “unbelievable!” Runo exclaimed “don’t be afraid, runo. let show them what we made of.” Wavern said “alright, let go, bakugan brawl! Haos prism wavern, stand!” A tornado of rainbow coloured fire surrounded wavern and she turned into her bakugan form from within it. She was shielding her body with her wings, as she did in her original body and when she revealed her beautiful new body, the fire cleared up and sparks illuminated everywhere. Everyone in the group stared in awe at wavern’s new body but drago was the most amazed. She slowly open gleaming crimson eyes which were now similar to drago’s and calmly landed on her high heel like feet. “Wavern you look amazing!” Drago exclaimed. “You...really think so? Wavern asked. “What is this? A brawl or a tea party?” Hama said. “I agree, ability activate, rose arrow!” Rinzler exclaimed. An arrow shaped like a rose appeared out of Hama left wrist and he loads into his bow. “Take this!” Hama yelled. “I don’t think so, ability activate! Krystal Blades!” Runo said. Wavern palm begins to glow as a pair of swords were created, they were revealed to chrome, gold and magenta with them extending into a whip like appearance, she use one to catch the rose arrow and send it back towards Hama causing him to fall down onto Anubis which she then followed up by send an x shaped burst of energy towards them causing them to revert back into ball form. “Rinzler life gauge 50%, horus life gauge 45%.” The gauntlet said showing their life gauge. “That was amazing wavern.” Runo exclaimed. “I never felt so strong before, it been a while since.” Wavern said. “Don’t think we down yet, the hunt is only over when the prey has been hunted.” Rinzler said. “Well then let finish this, gate card set!“ Runo said as she toss a gate card that glowed yellow. “Bakugan brawl! Bakugan stand!” Runo, Rinzler and Horus yelled as their bakugan rise. “I’m leading this time, ability activate, snake bandages!” Horus yelled. “Try and wiggle your way out of this.” Anubis said as long stream of tattered bandages wrapped around wavern rendering her immobile. “And don’t bother activating any ability because those bandages make it impossible to.” Horus said. “Time to finished this, double ability activate! Rose arrow plus wasp stinger!” Rinzler said. A large rose arrow manifest out of Hama left wrist but the tip of it was sharpened like a wasp stinger. “This time I won’t miss.” Hama said grimly as he took aim at Wavern. “Not this time, bakugan brawl, Baku-sky raider jump! Let go, drago!” Dan yelled. As drago enter his bakugan form, he got Wavern out of the way of Hama arrow, causing them to roll onto the ground. “Ohhhh, love on the battlefield huh?” Horus said jokingly. “Let get back to the matter at hand.” Drago said blushing a little. “Ability activate, dragon tornado!” Dan said. As a tornado of fire appeared and lifted Anubis into the air, he reverted back into ball form, reducing Horus life gauge to zero. “My strategy was flawed?” Horus said looking at Anubis. “The hunt isn’t over, not yet!” Hama said. “Actually, it is over, ability activate! Prism striker!” Runo exclaimed. “It time to finished this!” Wavern exclaimed as her body began to glow a bright blinding light as she rammed right into Hama causing a explosion that knock 600 g off of him. “I thought I was the Hunter but now I realised that today, I am the prey. How…glorious…indeed.” Hama said as he reverted back to ball form. “Rinzler life gauge zero.” The gauntlet said. “Grrrrr, this isn’t over, Horus, time to make a tactical retreat.” Rinzler said. “Yes, we going to have to report this to the dark one.” Horus said as they both vanished. “Who were they talking about? And who are you?” Dan asked looking a Valon. “We could talk out here and get attacked by a large monster or we could talks this back at my home city” Valon said getting his bike up. “It may be our best choice Dan.” Drago said. Dan and Runo climb onto Valon bike. “Now hold on, because it a long journey and their no stops along the way.” Valon said. As their ride off towards Valon home, a hooded figure was watching them from afar. A small green bakugan then floated beside the hooded figure. “Sensei, should we follow them?” The green bakugan said as the hooded stood up. “Not yet, Auxillataur. First we need to find something out first.” The hooded figure said as he left the area. As for Horus and Rinzler, they were busy licking their wounds. “I can’t believe we’ve lost to a pair of kids of all things.” Horus said when Rinzler slapped him. “Hey! What was that for?!?” “You imbecile! Didn’t you recognise those Bakugan?!?” Rinzler said while Horus. Just looked dumbfounded. “Come. We must report this to the Master!” As they left to speak with their leader.
