Chapter 14: What is with my bad luck with escort missions!?

Naruto examined his hands as he flexed his glove-covered hands. Naruto was now clad in his armor, reclining in a comfy chair as he sat around as the room, filled with plumbers, Ben and Rook included. They were running all kinds of systems checks and making sure everything was running smoothly.

Naruto got up from his seat and walked over to Ben.

"Ben…I don't want to question your grandpa…okay, I do," Naruto said, "What the hell is all this about. I mean we're just transporting one criminal."

Ben said, "This isn't some criminal we are transporting."

A shout came from outside the ship. Naruto and the others turned towards the door, as a group of plumbers, armed with powerful, and painful-looking, weaponry, entered the ship, guiding in a huge alien.

He towered over everyone in the room. He was shackled with energy cuffs around his wrists and ankles, and a large shock collar around his neck, and was clad in a red and blue alien suit. His skin was green with five tentacles acting as a beard, and a pair of metal pieces on either side of his head.

"Tennyson," the alien said, his deep voice made many of the plumbers almost show fear until they steeled their features.

"Vilgax," Ben said.

The conqueror-turned-prisoner was guided by the plumbers into another room of the ship. He passed Naruto with a look of disdain, mixed with a small amount of curiosity before moving past. Naruto felt a small twinge of fear as those eyes, hardened by what looked like centuries of combat and murder looked at him.

Vilgax was loaded onto a large table, with energy restraints forming over his body, and the energy cuffs dissolved into nothing, but the shock collar stayed. With that, the table floated, and Vilgax was taken away.

Naruto glanced at that Rook and said, "So that's the infamous Vilgax."

Rook nodded and said, "Yes. The history books in class did not do him justice. He is more intimidating in person."

Naruto nodded and said, "Yeah. What are we doing with this guy? All Max told me what that we needed some extra muscle to help out, and he was willing to pay me."

Ben sighed and said, "Unfortunately, no. he avoided the death penalty for his crimes thanks to Chadzmuth."

Naruto blinked and asked, "The Galvan lawyer? Isn't he supposed to be working with Merlin to get him out of being punished?"

Ben said, "Apparently, he had enough free time to get Vilgax out of the death penalty. Anyway, Vilgax was caught threatening and bribing a few members of the plumbers. After a meeting with the Magister, we decided to move him to Incarcecon, the prison planet."

Naruto glanced at the door Vilgax left through and said, "I hope they have a good security team…and one hell of a solitary confinement wing."

Rook answered, "Actually, that isn't going to be a problem. They are currently emptying Incarcecon of all living things. Everything will be automated from food delivery to waste management. There will be no one for him to bribe or threaten."

Naruto blinked and said, "Wow. All that for one guy? He must be as ruthless as you've said. Wait…won't he be able to escape? If he's resourceful he could build a ship or flag it down."

Ben answered, "They added some special security measures. The area around Incarcecon will be made unavailable to all space traffic, so they won't be getting anywhere near it. And if he attempts to get off, they have a special device at the core that will cause the planet to implode…with Vilgax still in range."

Naruto blinked and said, "Okay…you guys really don't want this guy coming back any time soon. You've kicked his ass tons of times."

Ben said, "And every time he came back stronger than ever. We aren't taking any chances this time around."

Suddenly, the door closed, and the ship began to move. With clearance the ship took off, going through a large door hidden in the side of a cliff, and launched. As they entered the control deck for the ship, Naruto saw cameras trained on Vilgax. Given his bad history with escort missions, he had a feeling something really bad was about to go down.

As the ship left, a small camera, hidden in the blind spot of the security systems was set up, and sending knowledge to someone.

In Albedo's secret lair of evilness…

Albedo watched the feed with a grin. He knew that they would eventually make a move.

He said, "It looks like we have an opportunity to get the next member of our little group."

Pressing a communication button on a console, and said, "Khyber, we have an opening for Vilgax…you know what to do."

Over the communicator's speaker, the hunter answered, "Got it."

Aggregor walked out of the darkness behind him, now decked out in what looked like proto-armor, with a black and red color scheme. In his hands was a replica of his staff, with a jagged edge on the spear, making it look more monstrous.

"Do you intend to help Vilgax escape," the full-blooded Osmosian asked, with a raised eyebrow.

Albedo turned and said, "I take it by you returning alone that Eon has ignored our offer."

The cruel alien said, "No…he had no interest in working with us."

The Galvan turned human said, "I take it he won't be a problem?"

Aggregor answered, "A quick electric pulse to the head, was more than enough to knock him out and cause short-term memory loss. He won't remember our conversation."

Albedos sighed and responded, "Good. Besides, if I know Vilgax, he'll find some way to get out. Have you had any luck finding out other candidate?"

Aggregor shook his head in the negative and said, "He doesn't want to be found. I'm an effective hunter, and it seems that he is no longer on Earth. No doubt he found a way off planet."

Albedo nodded and said, "That makes sense. He probably, wanted to head home. Go there, find him, and bring him to us."

Aggregor nodded, though a little miffed that he was taking orders from the white-haired human. He stopped then said, "When I get back, I believe I know someone who can take Eon's place."

Albedo raised an eyebrow as the alien left the room.

Aggregor walked down the halls until he got into a small ship, just big enough for one passenger, and resembling one of the tie fighters from Star Wars, with a round body and two large, flat sails on the sides. The ship took off, exiting through a hatch, exiting a large ship that was shaped like a UFO, attached to an asteroid.

The one-man ship immediately flew towards another part of the milky way.

With the plumbers and Vilgax a few hours later…

The trip so far had been smooth, but everyone was still on edge, given their cargo.

Naruto was currently playing a game of cards with Hobble, an insect-like alien. Ben and Rook were both going through the systems of the ship, to help pass the time.

Ben asked, "So how much longer until we reach Incarcecon. I don't remember the trip taking this long when I flew with Tetrax."

Rook answered, "We are moving at half the requested speed to allow time for the residents of Incarcecon to clear everyone out."

Ben nodded and said, "Good point. I just want to get rid of this guy as soon as possible."

Hobble said, "I know that when we get him off the ship, I'll feel a lot safer."

Rook said, "I can understand. However, it seems that we are in the home stretch. At this point, I do not believe anything could go wrong."

Ben and Naruto then turned to Rook and Naruto said, "Rook…do you have something on your planet referred to as the forbidden phrases?"

Rook cocked his head to the side and asked, "You mean curse words?"

A good distance out of the Plumber ship's radar…

A single ship flew through a nearby asteroid field. It was long, slender, and green, with pink and black a reason the front that made it resemble the face of a scowling frog.

Inside the ship, the passengers and crew matched the look of the vehicle. All of them ugly anthropomorphic frogs, with warty green skin, slim bodies, and wearing wet suits.

"We're closing in," one of the frogs said, "Preparing to engage."

A female voice shouted, "Hey, I'm the one in charge here. I get to say when we engage."

The alien in turn turned towards the voice. Sitting in a command chair, was a girl, probably around 15 or so years of age. Like them, she was a humanoid frog, but lacked the warty skin, as hers was surprisingly smooth, with big lips, a mark on her forehead, and yellow and red eyes. As opposed to the wet suit, she wore a purple flight suit, with grey gloves, and boots, white leggings and a scarf. On her head was an aviator's cap with silver goggles with black and pink lenses.

A voice from nearby said, "Cool your gets, general Attea. We both know this is your only chance of getting back into daddy's good graces."

Attea groaned and said, "I know. I know…when Vilgax croaks Daddy gets to invade Vilgaxia and conquer his empire…blah blah blah. I know already Sunder."

The newly named Sunder approached the young woman. He was a hulking, grey-skinned alien, with black and red eyes, white hair, a scar on his left eye, and two slits for a nose. He wore a black and red-trimmed overall style outfit, with boots and gloves, leaving his arms bare. In his hands, was a large double-sided axe with glowing red edges on the blades.

"Just do what I paid you to do," she said, "Bring me the head of Vilgax the Conqueror."

She turned towards her minions and shouted, "Open fire!"

The ship shot forward, firing blasts which struck the side of the ship. Everyone fell as the explosions shook the ship. Rook tried to put up the reflectors, but another blast shut them down. As that happen, Sunder shot out of the ship on his hoverboard, wearing a metal mask over his face, and launched a pair of disks which attached to the engines on the back of the ship. The engines died, causing the ship to slow down to a stop.

Now frozen, the Incursean ship floated above it, and attached a tube, allowing Attea and her crew to enter.

Meanwhile, in the control room, Rook noticed a change in the systems.

"All power to the engines has been cut," the cat-like alien stated.

Ben asked, "Will Vilgax be able to get out?"

Rook answered, "No. The system keeping Vilgax incarcerated is on a separate power grid, but I do believe that our attackers do not know that."

Ben said, "It looks like someone wants to break the big squid out."

Naruto said, "That would explain why they haven't blown us to kingdom come with our engines and shields down."

Rook noticed a feed and said, "I believe I know who is behind our engine trouble."

He put the feed on screen. It showed Sunder flying near the ship, and by the way he was flying, he was looking for something. As Ben and Naruto examined the picture, Rook was distracted by a beeping sound and turned towards the console.

Naruto blinked and asked, "Who is that?"

Ben growled, "His name is Sunder the Retriever. A mercenary. Vilgax probably found a way to contact him so he could try to spring him."

Rook answered, "I doubt that Ben. According to this, the ship he is accompanying is Incursean. Given that conquerors do not work well together, it is more likely that they are here to kill him."

Naruto sighed and said, "Why is it escort missions with me always seem to go horribly wrong?"

Ben nodded and said, "Rook. Stay here, ready patterns on the raiders, and see if you can find the leader. We got loads of traps and other weapons on board. See if you can make them slip up, or at least slow them down. I'm heading down to Vilgax. He's not getting away this time."

Ben turned to Naruto and said, "Naruto, you take care of Sunder. I can't afford to have the omnitrix time out on me while I'm in space. Think you can take him?"

Naruto nodded and asked, "Any suggestions?"

Ben answered, "His ax is his main weapon. Anything cut by it will be transported to the null void. He also has a power blaster and a few gadgets in that fancy glider of his."

Naruto nodded and activated his helmet. Then he made his way to the airlock to launch himself out of the cockpit. Once outside, he lit up his jetpack and flew through space to the engines.

Back inside, Ben walked through the halls, cycling through his aliens. He briefly toyed with the idea of using his new Sotoraggian form, but he had little to no experience with it yet, so it might be a bad idea to use it.

Ben ran down the halls until he reached Vilgax's cell. The alien warlord stood with his eyebrow raised and asked, "Tennyson? You're protecting me? Should I feel honored?"

Ben said, "The only reason we aren't executing you is because Chadzmuth pulled a loophole with you before he left the planet. That and the idea of you living on a rock alone seems like a good way for you to go."

Ben turned and pressed the omnitrix. Moments after doing this, a group of Incursean soldiers appeared lead by Attea.

"Ben Tennyson," she said, "I should have known you would be here."

Ben said, "I'm surprised that the fat toad you call a father isn't here. I though he'd want to claim he killed Vilgax on his own."

Attea said, "Yeah, well daddy is more interested in conquering planets than he is taking down old squid face there. Why don't you make this easy? You hand him over, and I'll give you ahead start before we start shooting at your ship."

Bens said, "You really need to work on your negotiating. Makes me wonder how you managed to get a deal out of sevenseven."

Ben messed with his watch, selecting Swampfire, remembering the Incurseans have a weakness for bad smells. However, before he could, along tongue wrapped around his raised arm. He followed the tongue to Attea who made a motion with her hand to shoot.

The soldiers with her opened fire. Ben ducked to avoid the blast and pulled forward with his arm, causing Attea to lurch forward, and for the soldiers to stop firing.

Ben punched the frog woman in her jaw, causing her to stumble, and she pulled a blaster from his side and aimed. Ben cucked back and slapped Attea before pulled slamming her tongue against the energy cage. The woman screamed in pain as he retracted her now burned tongue.

She growled in anger and glared at Ben, who slammed his hand onto the omnitrix, resulting in the trademark flash of green light.

In a flash, Ben's body grew in height until he rivaled his not present grandfather. His skin became scaly and lizard-like as his teeth sharpened in his mouth. His clothes turned to metal and covered his body in black and green armor with a x-shaped green lines, with hints of white and gray on his legs and arms in the form of punches, and utility belt formed on his waist, and two large rectangular packets on the sides of his belt.

Ben let out a roar as he examined himself. The newly transformed Sotoraggian examined himself for a moment before growling as he realized he'd hit the watch too hard and got the transformation wrong.

He muttered something in sotoraggian that would have probably translated to "stupid watch".

Vilgax cocked his head to the side and said, "That is a new form. I wonder how it will do."

Attea and her entourage looked shocked. Suddenly, Attea shouted, "What are you waiting for!? Blast him!"

The soldiers started firing, only for Ben to throw out his arms, a circular shield of bright blue energy formed in front of him blocking the beams of energy. Ben grunted wishing he had a weapon. Suddenly, the flaps on the side packs of his belt forming a weapon that resembled a shotgun with red markings. With a grunt he fired the weapon, which launched a bright red wave of energy, like a shotgun. Two Incurseans were thrown back as they were blasted away by the device.

Ben examined it briefly before getting into a stance of his own.

Outside the ship…

Sunder grinned as he placed a large bomb on the underside of the ship. He grinned to himself. Even if they fail to get Vilgax himself, he doubted the conqueror could survive an explosion with this kind of yield. Now with that done, he could go inside and get his paycheck. He proceeded to set a time, before activating a cloaking device that not even the plumber's scanners could use.

Before he got too far, he got slammed in the back by someone. Sunder tried to pry the unknown off him, punching him in the face, only for it to be blocked and and countered with a punch to his throat.

Sunder was sent flying backwards. He caught himself with his glider and glared at Naruto.

"Who the hell are you?" the retriever asked, a dark scowl forming on his face, not that you could see it.

"I don't see a reason to tell you stone face," Naruto answered as he activated one o his plasma blades.

The two aliens growled before charging forward. They clashed jousting style, the plasma blade and the supped-up axe crashed into each other in a flash fo energy. the two continued to brawl and fight.

After the first pass, they spun around and charged at each other again. When they clashed again, Naruto lashed out with his kinetic tether wrapping it around the alien's waist. Naruto yanked on the tether and pulled it forward, right into a chakra infused fist to the stomach. The alien's gut wrenched, and Naruto launched him upwards and slammed into the bottom of the ship. Naruto proceeded to unleash a barrage of punches on the alien's stomach face, and a third to the throat. Sunder gripped his ax and swung upwards, Naruto dodged to the side to avoid it, but the axe struck the bottom of the ship leaving a large gas in the ship.

Sunder grunted before ripping the axe out, but Naruto responded by pull out the noisy cricket, firing a focused kinetic beam. The blast slammed into the mercenary knocking him backwards. with his target distracted, Naruto replaced his cricket with the Sybaris prime.

Naruto aimed quickly and fired blast at Sunder's board. The projectile slammed into the board, breaking it, causing it to spit out some sparks and short out.

Sunder yelled, "I loved that board."

His boots roared to life and then flew away from the now destroyed board. He flew forward with his axe. Raised. Naruto fired another shot aiming at the axe, only for Sunder to drop down to avoid it, and charged forward with his ax, Naruto blocked his plasma sword, blocking it. He tried to quickdraw the mercenary with his rifle. Unfortunately, Sunder caught the rifle and flew up. The hoverboard, while it couldn't fly was apparently still functional, firing a net of red energy which wrapped around Naruto.

"Not bad kid," he said, "looks like you aren't used to fighting in zero gravity yet."

Naruto responded with pulled out two of his plasma swords to cut through the net.

Back inside the ship…

Ben was holding off against the Incursean invaders surprisingly well. A few blasts from his shotgun, if he could call it that. When an Incursean got too close, he found that he could augment his fists with a pair of spiked knuckle dusters.

Attea grunted as she pulled out a communicator and said, "Sunder, the field around Vilgax isn't down. Take are of it now, or you aren't getting paid."

Seeing this Ben focused his thoughts on a new weapon and his shotgun transformed into a long rifle, which he fired, the blast bounced off the walls and smashed into the alien princess's communicator. The princess growled in anger before charging forward, firing blasts.

Ben ducked to the side and then performed a brutal uppercut. She ducked back and lashed out with a powerful kick, which Ben blocked and then punched her. She went flying back, skipping around the ground. Before he could move forward, another group of Incurseans came in and attacked him. He responded by pulling out weapon enhancements from his belt, and transformed it into a large weapon, which was now glowing dark purple. He fired a blast, which caused gravity to reverse and the warriors to float. Attea saw this wasn't going their way, and she needed a way to get back to…her eyes widened as she came up with a plan. She took off down the hall and used the communicator in her pocket to communicate with her ship.

Back outside…

Naruto finally managed to destroy the net, flooding chakra through his weapon and overloading the net. He formed a clone who grabbed him with a kinetic tether and then launched him right at Sunder, who was flying towards the ship.

Hardening his armor, Naruto slammed into Sunder like a cannonball, slamming the alien hard against the ship.

"You are a real pain in the ass kid," Sunder growled as he prepared to swing his axe, only for Naruto's clone to charged forward and swing his own plasma sword, slicing through the axe handle.

With that, Naruto and his copy, both focused chakra into their fists and unleashed a pair of chakra enhanced punches to the stomach and head, almost simultaneously, knocking him out. l

With Sunder out cold, Naruto reached for his helmet and connect with Rook.

"Rook. I've taken down Sunder," Naruto said, "Any ideas on what to do now?"

Inside the cockpit, Rook was activating traps to take down the Incurseans. He mainly stuck with knockout gas, but the invaders were smart enough to activate helmets meant for deep space survival. He countered using pressurized pads that launched out of the walls, electric panels, and trapping them in laser grids.

Rook said, "Leave Sunder for now. If his board and boots are disabled, then he is not going anywhere. Look on the outside of the ship for a device that could be disabling our engines."

Just as Rook, cut off his communication with Naruto, he felt a great pain spread through is back as he fell to the ground passed out. Attea walked up behind him, a smirk on her face as she held a taser-like device in her hands. She looked at the monitors and saw that Naruto was removing the devices that were shutting down the engines.

She connected her communicator to the pilot on the ship.

"I'm in the cockpit, and I'm sending the ship to warp speed, and we're aiming for Incursean space. Get ready to jump."

Meanwhile…

Naruto had just entered back into the ship. Once inside Naruto came across a few Incurseans who charged forward with their weapons. Naruto responded by charging forward to the closes, knocking his weapon into the air and then unleashing a brutal right hook to the Incursean's face, and then launched a round house and a back kick to take down the others.

Naruto then felt the ship rumble and said, "That doesn't sound good. Rook what's going on?"

Upon getting no response from the nearly no-nonsense cat-like alien, he connected with Ben.

"Ben we've got a problem. I can't connect with Rook and I know you just felt the ship shake. I think we have some unwelcome guests in the cockpit."

Ben response sounded garbled, but quickly cleared and said, "-elt it too. Meet me in the cockpit. I don't like where this is heading."

Naruto immediately ran towards the cockpit, using what he remembered from seeing the ship's schematics. He found multiple unconscious frog people as he ran and wondered if the toad summons on his planet would be get along with these guys. Given they were conquerors of worlds…probably not.

Naruto and Ben, still in his sotoraggian form, arrived at the cockpit, and found themselves staring at Rook getting up while Attea stood at the helm. The sights before them showing them at lightspeed.

Rook aimed his proto tool at Atea and fired a net. The frog woman ducked underneath to avoid the projectile and then charged at Rook, who countered throwing her back towards Ben and who unleashed a right cross that knocked the girl to the ground.

Naruto pulled out the Hek and aimed it at Attea, Rook aimed his prototool, and Ben aimed his shotgun weapon at her.

"You probably should have thought this through more, princess," Ben said, the suit acting as a translator for those around him, "I suggest you surrender now."

Attea scoffed and said, "Incurseans never surrender Tennyson."

Ben simply rolled his eyes behind his helmet and said, "Rook turn off the warp speed and slow us down."

Rook answered, "I cannot. From what I can tell, Attea's ship is still attached. If we slow down and the other ship does not, it is likely that we will be ripped apart."

Ben said, "Tell him to slow down your ship, and we'll slow ours down."

Attea simply scowled, showing she wasn't going to do it.

Unfortunately, for them something was happening on the outside of the ship. The bomb that Sunder had set was starting to come loose, as it was not designed to hold on at such high speeds. As the timer wound down, the bomb came off and then went off, a huge explosion of plasma rang out through the void. The blast knocked the ships off course and sent the occupants stumbling.

The pilot of the Incursean ship reached out for something the balance on and hit a lever, which caused the ship to start to slow. Rook heard metal groaning and reached for the controls slowing down the ship just before it could be torn apart.

Soon, the ships were stopped. Attea made a move to run, but Naruto intercepted her and tackled her to the ground.

"Hand of metal head," she said, "I'm royalty. You can't harm me!"

Naruto said, "I don't care if you are the empress of the universe. You threaten me, and I will kick your ass. Rook, can you give us a damage report?"

Rook ran to the controls and started to go through the systems.

"Life support and anti gravity are back, but it would seem that our engines have been horribly damaged…oh no."

Naruto said, "That doesn't sound good. What is it?"

Rook said, "The secondary generator is down…Vilgax is free!"

The sound of an explosion rang through the ship. At this point, Attea moved. She lashed out with her foot, striking Naruto right in the crotch with as much strength as he leg could muster. The armored blond let out a shout of pain as he fell to the ground. Even with his armor, the woman's strength was more than enough for him to feel it. She jumped into the air to avoid a shot from Ben, and lashed out with her tongue, striking Rook in the face with it, and sticking there. She cringed at fun on her tongue, but she power through it, pulling forward and clotheslining Ben, before hauling him into the air and slamming him face first into the ground. She then picked up the gun he used and blast Rook back with it, and then Naruto who was getting back up.

Attea smirked at her work, before she spat out some bits of Rooks fur. She then took off down the hall. She had an idea of where Vilgax was going.

She was proven right as when she approached the tube that would lead to her ship, an Incursean soldier went flying and smashed into the wall right in front of her. She turned the corner and found Vilgax gripping his attacks by the neck, and then crushing his neck in his hand.

"Vilgax," Attea said, "I, Princess Attea of the great Incursean empire-"

The princess's monologue was broken off when Vilgax charged forward and backhanded her with a powerful swing.

"Brag less, fight more, little girl," he said, condescendingly.

Ben, Rook, and Naruto came around the corner and saw Vilgax standing over the fallen princess. Ben growled and clenched his fist and he charged towards Vilgax, weapons with yellow markings flying out of his pockets and attaching to his weapon, forming a circle shaped head with three prongs coming off it.

The transformed sotoraggian let out a battle cry as he fired a blast of electricity from his weapon. Vilgax tanked the hit, but grunted in pain from the electric shock, cursing the fact that his enhancements over the years were gone.

He lashed out, punching Ben in the chest, cracking his armor. The alien slid backwards, having to dig his boots and hands into the ground, creating a loud screeching sound. With an annoyed growl, Ben's armor opened around his chest, revealing a glowing a red circle. The energy spread through his armor, and curved blades of plasma formed on his arms. The boy whistled before charging forward, realizing quickly that he was faster, and unleashed a powerful punch with the blade.

Vilgax barely managed to dodge, the blades nicking his arm, leaving a burn. Vilgax spun on his heel in an attempt to backhand Ben, but he ducked beneath and then performed an uppercut, the circle in his chest glowing brighter.

As Vilgax was lifted of the ground, Rook took out his proto-tool and fired a small missile from it which exploded and knocked Vilgax forward and Ben brought down his fists onto Vilgax's head, knocking him to the ground.

Vilgax growled in pain, but immediately shrugged it off, and smashed a fist into Ben's chest knocking him backwards again. Naruto took out his plasma sword and charged at Vilgax. Said conqueror charged himself, catching Naruto's armor, only for Naruto to perform a substitution with Ben, who swung his plasma blade cutting Vilgax's chest.

Rook took advantage of the tyrant's wound and fired a blast from his tool, hitting him in the chest. Vilgax grunted in pain but managed to shrug it off. He charged forward, and smashed into Naruto, the two grappling.

"You are strong for a human, boy," Vilgax said.

Naruto said, "Thanks. However, I don't find the compliment from an alien warlord all that flattering."

Naruto then slammed his knee into Vilgax's chest wound. Naruto then jumped back and went through hand signs.

"Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder!"

Naruto unleashed a huge power surge to the conqueror making him scream in agony. Rook responded by charged forward with his proto-tool forming a large gauntlet around his fist, and performed a screw punch to Vilgax's injured chest, knocking him backwards.

At this point, Ben got back up and began to power up his armor again, only this time, he felt his strength drain. He realized he had done something wrong. Suddenly, the piece exposed in his chest glowed and a powerful blast was fired right at Vilgax. Vilgax dove to the side to avoid the attack, which burned through the walls of the plumber ship and struck the center of the ship, resulting in an explosion. The ship suddenly, began to tilt, and the lights went out, and soon the hall was lit with emergency lights.

Vilgax took advnatge of the distraction, and immediately made his way to the tube connecting the ships, which was now starting to ascend. The chimera sui genesis jumped into the tube just as it was about to clear the ship's hull.

Suddenly, the air began to be drained from the air as it was sucked out. Ben motioned for Naruto to follow him. Naruto nodded and flew out, Ben turned and shouted, "Seal it up!"

With the two now on the exterior of the ship, Naruto and Ben both realized there was very little light, even in space. They noticed they were surrounded by a multitude of planets all connected by what looked like a spiderweb, and a small sun, much smaller than the one in Naruto or Ben's home solar system. They didn't have time to look long, as Attea's ship suddenly turned and was now heading at him, and the hole behind them was sealing up with gel, most likely from brook

"Bring out the big guns," Ben said, "We're taking him down here and now!"

The pouches on Ben's belt opened, and they formed into a large bazooka-like weapon with purple markings on it. Naruto nodded and took out the BFG.

As they were charging up their weapons, Vilgax, who was holding the pilots by their necks, were aiming the ship's weapons at the pair.

"So long squid face," Ben said as he and Naruto fired.

A large missile and a green ball of plasma were sent flying through space, screaming towards the ship. Vilgax saw the coming and immediately made his way away from the cockpit, but he blasts struck and it was too late. The projectiles slammed into the ship and exploded with extraordinary force. The blast ultimately proved to be to much as smaller explosions spread throughout the hull and the entire ship went up in a bright flash of light, and a blast of fire and sound, not that you can hear in space, mind you.

Naruto and Ben both looked at each other and high fived. While things hadn't gone exactly to plan, the universe was now free of one of its major menaces. However, their elation was very short lived as they realized that a few chunks of the rubble struck the ship and started to push it forward. Naruto and Ben immediately made their way as fast as they could to enter the sip, as they realized that the ship was moing, and they needed to get things working again.

As of now, they were stuck.

Unknown to them, a familiar one-man ship was floating nearby, hidden among the webs that connected the planet.

Aggregor blinked in surprise as he saw the plumber ship and pressed a button on a pad, activating a communications channel.

"Albedo…we may have a problem."

Cut! Okay, first, sorry for the wait everyone. I got caught up in the holidays and new year and decided to just go ahead and take some time off from writing. Unfortunately, I took a little too long and then I got a little bit of writer's block and I kept forgetting to save and a lot of other stuff, but I'm back baby!

Anyway, here we see Vilgax. Now, some of you may think that Vilgax went down easily, but I have a reason for this. At the end of Ultimate Alien, Vilgax lost all the powers he had gained after conquering 10 worlds. He also lost all his mechanical enhancement form the original series when he appeared in Alien Force, which I think is because he was healed and got rid of them after conquering a certain world. Essentially, this is Vilgax during Ben 10 episode 1, the one who was just tough enough to survive the massive explosion.

We also have the emergence of Ben's yet to be named Sotorragian form, who is a black, white, and green armor, with a mix of Sixsix and Eighteight's armor. Seriously, if you are on Deviantart or anywhere you post drawings can someone help me and get a person to draw these things for me?

Anyway, here are a list of the alien's weapon.

Morph Gun – Jak and Daxter

Knuckle dusters

Plasma claws – Fulgore's from Killer Instinct.

Overclock system – enhances strength and speed, but overloading causes it to discharge a powerful beam.

More to be announced.l
