CHAPTER 2: BACK TO PRISON.

Several automated guardians were informed of the breaking into the forbidden weapons facility. They made a low humming sound as they zipped across the facility searching for the intruder. The automated guardians found a heat signature in one of the rooms in the facility containing the most expensive and rarest kinds of weapons in the universe.

An automated guardian unlocked the door from where the heat signature was coming from and found what looked like a chimera alien exhibiting multiple mutations sprawled on the floor. The automaton saw the orb levitating put it in a see-through box and stored it inside a level five burglary-proof glass.

As for the intruder, the automated guardian did a quick scan to identify the prisoner and moved the prisoner to the lower levels of the prison where the most dangerous criminals were kept.

Meanwhile, Kevin was trying his very best to stay alive as millions of information entered his brain and left. He saw different worlds, different timelines, and different realities. In some he was very powerful and in others, his rival Ben was even more powerful and could transform into any alien at will without even touching his Omnitrix. There were even some that he would transform but still look like his human self but have the traits of the alien he transformed into.

Kevin also saw different worlds of where his favourite cartoon characters had lives of their own and their story progressed further than the original. This made him think if he was also the same but in another reality. Languages, and forgotten history of several races rushed into and out of his mind.

If the automated guardian had come some minutes later he would have passed out because the information reaching his brain would have reached sextillion units of info. Kevin woke up from this nightmare three days later, but what was three days felt like a peek into eternity for him. His hair turned white and his breathing was haggard. 

"Let me tell ya something kid you look ridiculous and hideous, HA HA!" A voice bellowed with laughter opposite Kevin's direction.

Kevin paid no heed to that jeer shot at him at simply rubbed his temples as if to soothe his pain. He opened his eyes and noticed that he was in a holding cell that had a see-through door that covered the entire opening of his cell and just a few other cells around like that. It didn't look like the normal plumber cell holdings that featured many cells like his in a building. He deduced there weren't more than ten cells here from the pattern he observed.

"Oh, you thought this was the normal dump that held a lot of dumpsters together in one big dump? You're wrong! This is where the special dumpsters like you and I hang out, in this one big MEGADUMP!" The voice bellowed at him again.

Kevin turned to see who was making a racket here and was almost taken aback. Kevin had read about most alien life forms in this universe thanks to a file that read 'classified' info in one of his late father's belongings. There were very few aliens he didn't know. The alien that kept bickering at him is an Appolexian.

"Hey there, I am Kevin." Kevin said as he waved to his opposite cellmate. He might as well get acquainted with this alien.

"Oh, I am Khan. And you look like an abomination." Khan answered as honestly as he could while maintaining a friendly gesture.

"Khan, can you do me a favour?" Kevin asked politely.

"Sure. With the way you look, I guess any favour done to you is a charity and good karma points." Khan replied as he let out another laugh.

"Good to know. Now can you shut up for five minutes, let me collect myself! I think thirty minutes is probably like a year for you so why not shorten it to five for you? Do you think you can do that? Do you think you can SHUT UP FOR FIVE MINU-" Kevin yelled at him but stopped immediately when a sharp pain was felt in his head. 

"Yeah, you might need to shut up first kid, haha." Khan laughed but wondered what was wrong with the abomination in front of him. Khan eventually stopped talking and went to sleep in his cell while Kevin dealt with his pain.

There was so much information to sort and organize in Kevin's brain. It took about a week for the numbing pain to stop before Kevin could practice what he had learned from his late master.

Kevin sat in a lotus position and took in deep breaths while trying to remove wasteful energy from his core and stabilize the rampaging energy in him. Khan saw what he was doing and his eyes became wide with interest.

'How does that kid know that? Maybe, he could be the ticket out of this dump if that plan works out.' Khan thought.

Khan like most of his species, were known for their violent and aggressive behaviour throughout the universe. But he in particular was one that usually puts the brain before the brawn. He was wanted throughout the universe for multiple cases of high-grade theft, war crimes, personification, gross insubordination, arson, and the list goes on. He was an avid learner in the dark and would put up an aggressive maniac persona as a front to deceive others. Unlike other's quest for universal domination, he wishes to gather all the secret pieces of the universe to leave it for another. He had made all the money that could last for him and his generations to come, he had expanded his life force artificially, naturally, and magically to give him time to complete his quest.

He has never been caught or suspected of any crime for centuries in his career. He had even grown stronger and faster than the supposed evolved form of his species. In fact, he had won many intellectual games against some Galvans who are seen as the most intelligent creatures in this universe while in a disguise that made him look like one of them. He had to use a high-grade ID mask that could even shrink his size and alter his appearance for a few hours to fool some Galvan's. The only reason he is here is because he needs to get a hold of the philosopher's orb which is dark blue and has purple wavy stripes on its surface. He decided to steal level six weapons in the open so he would be caught by the plumbers and brought to where the most forbidden tech and heinous criminals were kept.

Khan had planned this right after throwing a sorry planet into a state of world war through his schemes and selling it to buy information about all forbidden tech. Only if the plumbers knew who they imprisoned.

Kevin wore a calm expression but was sweating profusely. It wasn't until more than half a day later that two out of the four arms he had seemingly broke out of his torso on the floor into degradable pieces. Khan saw this and was amazed that someone so young could be this calm and patient during an energy circulation and detoxification, especially when the kid in front of him had more than enough power to run their prison's electricity for a decade.

Kevin fell asleep after a few minutes and continued the same routine the next day. The food that the automatons brought for Kevin was still in his cell and cold.

"Hey kid if you are not going to eat that, when that hunk of metal comes over, tell them you want to pass the food over here." Khan remarked.

Kevin let a vein stretch across his forehead to hold back his anger. His master had taught him to be patient and concentrate until he reached the level where he could just exist and observe energy circulation and cultivation happen naturally in his body. He continued again for a full day this time around, and some of the alien mutations were no longer visible, but he still looked like a chimera of sorts.

Kevin continued for another week and his legs returned to regular human legs. It was at this point that Khan drew a conclusion that the abomination he saw wasn't just some scientist's sick project or plaything, but was an Osmosian. To put it simply, they are humans whose genes were built differently with various abilities. There was also a possible theory that they were not from Earth in the first place. 

'Now hold on a second, this kid comes from that level two mud planet. Could it be the same planet where the rumoured wielder of the Omnitrix is?' Khan thought as he watched Kevin circulate his energy. The other prisoners were getting noisy over some argument about which automaton to smash, kill, or marry. Their noises were too loud for the Appolexian but for Kevin, it was just background noise as he in fully absorbed in the process.

Khan roared and directed its path to the area of the noise above him. The aliens were scared and quiet for a bit, then resumed their chattering. They were dangerous criminals as well, but Kevin sensed something even more dangerous from that roar. Khan's roar only earned him a minute of silence until they resumed.

"I am going to kill these guys when I am out of here." Khan sighed to himself.
