"The Plumbers managed to arrest a 159 Alien terrorists..." The voice of a news anchor came over through a holographic TV placed at the top corner behind the counter.

"Those roaches am I right? coming to our planet and causing chaos everywhere if you ask me we should round up every last one and send them where they came from." A shopping clerk spoke up to the customer before himself as he packed up the purchase.

"Mhm" was all the customer said in response, the shopping clerk took another look at the customer who was an old man if the graying hairs at his side were anything to go by.

The man reeked of alchohol, he wore a black long sleeved sweater with a baseball cap over his head which cast a shadow over his face making his facial features harder to read.

"that would be $75.99" the clerk said as he placed the shopping bag full of purchase on the counter. The customer reached out to his back pocket for his wallet to pull out the amount needed.

Seeing the money the clerk's eyes widened before taking it, "wow cash, it's been a long time since someone paid in cash" he handed the shopping bag to the customer with a smile on his face, "thank you for the purchase"

The customer reached out with his left hand to take the shopping bag, as he did so the clerk caught sight of something but before he could get a good look the customer withdrew his hand and pulled down the sleeve before turning to leave, leaving the clerk to watch his back with confusion.

As the customer stepped out he looked up to the bright blue sky having his vision obscured by the numerous cars flying overhead.

A memory flashed through the customers mind as he saw this scene, countless space ships firing at one another in the sky with the sky no longer clear or blue as the people remembered but rather filled with smoke and a bright orange reminiscenct of flames.

The countless screams of the people trying to survive below as well as the war cries of both sides who each believed in what they were fighting for.

The customer snapped out his flashback and headed for his RV which was parked in the parking lot. Sitting in the driver's seat he took off his baseball cap and looked into a mirror.

Looking into the mirror he saw his face, his aging face that had wrinkles at the sides of his eyes his beard which was untrimmed and messy with streaks of gray running through.

The man run his hand through the top of his head which had still managed to retain it's brown color somehow.

Putting the mirror away he took out a bottle of pills from his shopping bag and pouring out two into his palm.

He glanced at the pills before popping them into his mouth as he pulled out a bottle of whiskey from the glove box and downed them.

He let out a long sigh before continuing to guzzle down the alcohol. He put the bottle away before pulling up his sleeves on his left hand to look at the device on his wrist.

This device had been with him since he had turned 10 years old, the device which shifted his life path from that of the ordinary to the shitty one it was now.

This was the device everyone in the damn universe was after the cause of that event, the legendary Omnitrix.

The man glanced down at the Omnitrix seeing the green veins that were slowly retracting back to the device and as he stared at it another memory came flashing into his mind.

****

A man awoke in a facility with two people by his side a man and a woman. "Gwen, Kevin" the man called out to them.

" Ben your okay, thank God" Gwen spoke as she hugged him, Ben turned to Kevin who smiled at him "what happened?" he questioned Kevin.

"We won" was Kevin's response, "then why is that smile fake" Ben asked again.

The two remained silent before Gwen let him go and spoke up, "Ben.... the Omnitrix was damaged it has made your DNA unstable causing it to collapse. We were able to save you but, your transformations ."

"How many?" Ben questioned but both of them remained silent. "I said, how many?" "ten more, if you transform ten more times your DNA will collapse and... you will die"

Ben awoke from his flashback looking at the Omnitrix once more he took another swing of his whiskey before activating the RV and flying off, passing by a hologram which had a picture of Ben with a bounty of $10,000,000,000.
