CHAPTER -7 PLAY AND POWER

Laughter filled the air as Choji, Ino, Shikamaru, and a bunch of kids from different clans dashed around the sunny Konoha grounds. They were all playing tag, a huge game of it.

"Run, everyone! I'm coming to tag you!" cheered Choji, all pumped up to chase his friends.

Shikamaru, cool as ever, said, "Such a drag." Ino nodded, ready to use her speed to outwit the others.

In the middle of the fun, Ben felt kind of weird. He was a teenager stuck in a kid's body, but he had this super cool thing called the Omnitrix, and he wanted to try it out.

Sneaking away from the group, Ben found a quiet spot in the grove. It was his secret place to test the aliens. The place was baren and he already checked the area for intruders by fusing himself with wild mutt .He activated the Omnitrix, glowing green and all.

And bam! He transformed – first, into Four Arms, this big, strong and red alien with four huge arms packed with muscles. Ben was amazed by the power in those big arms.it was difficult to adjust with the eyes and height difference in the start but everything came naturally to him,He lifted some boulders, feeling the incredible strength coursing through him. He swung his arms experimentally, marveling at their range and force.

Then came Rath, this tough, cat-like creature,with tiger like stripes,( and naked 🤣), all speedy and fierce. He let out a loud roar that echoed in the grove. Ben felt wild and quick, darting around the trees effortlessly. He couldn't resist testing his claws on a nearby tree, leaving deep gouges as Rath's sharp nails effortlessly sliced through the bark.

After that, XLR8 zoomed around, making leaves fly all over. He was so fast, everything seemed to slow down around him. Ben dashed through the grove, feeling the wind against his face. He skidded to a stop, marveling at how he could control his speed with precision.

Heatblast showed up next, lighting up the place with fiery heat. Ben was surrounded by flames, but he felt in control, using the fire to warm himself without burning anything. He practiced focusing the flames, amazed at the precision Heatblast offered.

Ghostfreak made Ben feel all ghostly, like he could pass through things. He walked through a tree, surprised as he emerged on the other side. The sensation of being intangible yet present was exhilarating and eerie. He also noticed that he felt weak like this was not his full power beacuse of the daytime even with a host ghost freaks power gets a little bit diminish.

Wildmutt's senses were super sharp. Ben noticed he could smell things from far away and see clearly even in the dark. He listened carefully, picking up distant sounds and tracking imaginary scents.

Diamondhead sparkled in the sun, all crystal-like. Ben marveled at his reflection and realized he was practically invulnerable with that tough crystal skin. He experimented with altering the shapes of his crystal shards, intrigued by their malleability and durability. He also tried to sculpt a statue but his control wasn't adequate (he wanted to make an Eiffel tower but all he made was a 7 inch dong 😂😂).

Ripjaws, an aquatic alien, made Ben feel robust and swift in water. Imagining swimming with grace and speed, he simulated diving into imaginary ponds, relishing Ripjaws' seamless navigation through water.'im feeling thirsty not the I need water to survive or I will die thirsty but like an itch which will only satiate when he drinks water." I need to learn water jutsus for this one and afterwards I will be a beast and undefeatable in water."

Spider Monkey, nimble and agile in the branches, granted Ben unparalleled freedom of movement. Leaping between trees, he explored shooting webs and effortlessly navigating the foliage." Now I know why Tarzan used to swing on trees instead of walking the thrill is on another level."

Reverting to his human form, Ben felt overwhelmed yet exhilarated by the diverse experiences. Embracing the vast array of possibilities at his fingertips, he eagerly anticipated rejoining the tag game with his friends. He transformed into XLR8 and fused with ghost freak and arrived at the grove where they were playing.

Meanwhile, Choji led the chase, his laughter resonating joyfully. Ino, Shikamaru, and their friends darted around, evading Choji's attempts to tag them.

From a distance, Ben observed the infectious joy echoing through the grove. As the sun began its descent, casting elongated shadows, the thrill of the game persisted.

Heading back to the village, they shared stories and laughter, reminiscing about the thrilling game. Ben cherished the camaraderie and the chance to experiment with his alien abilities.

The sky transitioned into hues of orange and pink as day turned into dusk, leaving behind a treasure trove of cherished memories.

When Ben arrived home he smells a delicious aroma and quickly washed his feet and hands and sits on the dinning table asking his mother" what's the delicious smell coming from".

" your favourite crab meat, now just give me a moment it's done I just need to plate it".

While waiting Ben observes that his father isn't home so he asks his mother about it.

"Your dad's out on a long mission might take him a month this delicious dinner is for us."

After eating Ben retires for the day while thinking of starting his chakra training from tomorrow as tomorrow is his 4th Birthday and as his mother has said she will train him from then on.
