I know the dregs, that Vilgax sends after me, in cannon, but I didn't give my location, identity or any information to allow Vilgax to track me. He would have to trace the area for clues and then chase after those clues, if they want to find me.
Luckily, I wanted to be generous, kill the three useless idiots, and take their equipments and that hoverboard, even if I can fly by myself. The silver surfer feel will never get old, and I wanted to kill a few things.
I would be all sage-like and say the mantis preys on the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. But it wouldn't be accurate here. Instead, I would say, I am luring chicken to prey on a worm, but instead of being a worm, it is my claws, that snaps the chicken's head.
And I just found the first chicken to kill.
But before that, let me summarise my last few days.
After "employing" Dr Animo, I knew what to expect with the Krakken and the Limax alien spiel, in Vera Tennyson's retirement home.
I had brought the eggs of the Krakken back to her, scanned her DNA and spoke to her to take away her children, from th idiots here.
I took a small sample of her skin, as her DNA, and enjoyed a little water with her while we both drowned the poacher together in a bonding moment. I had taken my Kraken form, and it was now a giant 30 metres long form, instead of the small size I was used to.
She too called me the Deep One, and we both enjoyed the calming moment, when the Poacher's eyes bulged out, his face grew blue then purple, and his struggling body collapsed to a stand still. I handed him to her saying, his body could be nutrition for her new hatchlings.
She thanked me in a shy tone, and I ran the fuck from there, happy at having killed someone stupid and idioitic.
The next event at the Retirement Home was not too troublesome, as I simply stunned Gwen and Grandpa, flicked the Fire Alarm on, let the Sprinklers flush out the Unknown Aliens, who came running outside like they were being burnt alive.
Their screeches and squeals were especially musical to my ears, as I powered a large Aguamenti spell that showered the entire area in cold water. I had copied the Alien DNA, because even if they were hydrophobic and feasted on humans, Limax aliens were capable of shapeshifting, size and shape manipulation, voice modulation, enhanced strength and speed, and immune to fire and heat attacks, as they tend to thrive on it. They were like the Antithesis of the generic slimes, and that made them very useful for infiltration needs.
I simply froze them dry, while slaughtering them all, and then waking up Grandpa Max, when we had a small chat with our Grandaunt.
And since, after taking care of them, I simply stored their dead bodies in my space, as I had started putting everything interesting and obscure into my space, there was no evidence of foul play, since all water was transfigured into water vapour.
This was all getting fun, as I got the notification of at least ten of my aliens have been simulated and their mutations recorded for the next time I need. I had managed to simulate Spidermonkey, Big Chill, WayBig, Chromastone, Diamondhead, Wild Mutt, Rath, Four Arms, Cannonbolt, and even Heatblast. Swampfire and Xlr-8 were next on my priority, while I planned to test out Upgrade and Jetray after that.
I was happy with my progress, and after I am done killing the three grunts sent after me, I will start letting Grandpa Max and Gwen to be involved actively in the plot. After all, I need my Mage Sidekick, and the Old Plumber to fight villains.
So, let me get back to the first chicken who I was going after. The three grunts were not particularly dangerous, as two were cybernetic beings, and one was a Petrosapien.
The one before me, was the wires as tentacles guy, whose name eludes me. I simply cast a severing curse, cut his head off, and stored it in my space, before banishing even the small pieces of metal that fell off.
I saw the Crab like guy on the ledge, as he looked around for either his companion, or someone like me.
I apparated behind him, saw him register me on his senses, used my Lumos Laser and bisected the crab in two, while storing the falling pieces.
I saw the Tetrax Shard guy come on his Hoverboard, and saw him looking around for his friends. I used Legilimency, while hiding under the Invisibility Cloak, and saw his abilities, his experiences, his memories and even his plans and ambition. I also found out the significant thing I was looking for, the location of his ship.
I then cast a killing curse, saw him fall to the ground with a THUD, and stored his body too.
I then apparated to my camping company, and saw Grandpa look for me, I used illusion to make it appear like Tetrax Shard has kidnapped me, made his ship appear in the sky (an illusion of course), called out to Max, like he was still a Plumber, told him "I" was kidnapping "Ben" because Vilgax is after the Omnitrix, and it has chosen Ben.
I showed Max my wrist, which showed him a self-destruct timer, like in cannon, and informed him of my plans to visit Galvan to save Ben. I then apparated to Tetrax's ship, turned into Upgrade, took control of the ship and closed all comms and signals from it. I made the ship travel to tbe sky under a cloaking mode, and made the ship chart a route to Galvan, while I turned back to human, and rested in the ship, waiting for us to arrive. All in all, a very productive day, indeed. And I scored an interstellar ship to myself.
What a good day to feel alive!
