Ben 10 Guardians: Summon the Swarm

OK, let continue this Ben 10 story, shall we? This is part of an interconnected story between two different episodes. Hope you like it! And as you know, I only own my own OCs. I do not own any of the Ben 10 characters or the species; they belong to Man of Action. Enjoy.

Summon the Swarm

(Plumbers HQ Hanger. August 21^st, 11:50)

Ben was with Julie, who was readjusting a bag over her shoulder as she was wearing her Plumber uniform. “So, you’re off for training?” Ben asked, looking at her with concern.

“Yeah, a training mission with Magister Hulka and Tetrax and my classmates at the Academy. He said that this is the first field assignment for us. So wish us luck, OK?” Julie asked as she gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Don’t worry, I got Ship. I think we can take care of ourselves, right Ship?” Julie asked, looking down at her pet.

“Ship, ship!” said Ship with a small hop as Ben nods as he and Julie shared a hug goodbye.

“See you when you get back, Jules.” Ben said as the two gave each other a smile as Ship coiled onto Julie’s shoulder as Ben chuckled. “And the same goes for you too, Ship.” Ship yipped at this as Julie headed to a ship where a tall, pink-skinned humanoid with a metal implant on the right half of his head and a standard Plumber Armor.

Julie gave him a salute, which he returned as he lead her on. Meeting her on board was a being made of crystal, like Diamondhead, only dressed in dark gray armor and having what looks like a goatee on his face.

“She has come a long way, huh?” Manny’s voice asked as he turned to see Alan, Helen and Manny walking up, Alan in his human form and Manny in the form of a tall, muscular young man with dark skin and dark yellow eyes, wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of jeans.

“Yeah. Come on, lets head out for Lunch. Rook’s Driving.” Said Ben as the group nod and headed out as the ship Julie was on took off.

“We’ll wait here. We got to work on some stuff, but make sure to get some Burger Shack for us.” Said Manny as Ben gave a thumbs up and headed to Rook’s truck.

(Later…at Burger Shack. 12:03)

Ben hummed a bit as he got his order from a local restaurant, Burger Shack, which was medium-sized building with outdoor stalls to eat as he headed to Rook’s truck, where his partner waited.

Unknown to him, however, Khyber watched from above as he smirked, nodding to his pet. “Go get him, old friend.” His dog growled before jumping forward, a red glow coming out as a large creature came into being.

Ben hummed as he took a sigh. “OK, some much deserved relaxatio-“ Before he could finish, the ground began to shake as he sighed. “Ah great…” Suddenly a large worm-like creature with a very large beak-like mouth, four eyes and a collar around it’s neck, four insect-like legs coming near the front of it. “ANOTHER one? Ah man…”

Ben set his lunch down as he slammed his Omnitrix, making his body glow a bit as he turned into Diamondhead. “Diamondhead! Can we make this fast, big guy? I’m kind of hungry.”

The monster screeched as Diamondhead fired a barrage of crystal shards as he says, “Take that!” The worm growled as he smacked him away, sending him flying back from the blow.  Diamondhead landed as he glared. “OK…I’m gonna need a harder hitter.” HE slammed down on his Omnitrix.

He glowed as he turned into a towering creature, at about 7 feet tall, with a body akin to a living quartz creature with glowing yellow-green eyes, claw-like hands, quartz spikes on his arms and wearing a pair of armbands and what looks like black and white shorts. “ROCKS!” He said out loud…as he groaned. “OK, that name stinks…lets see…”

The worm suddenly spat out acid at Ben yelled out, but glared up as his body became smoother to allow the acid to slide off. “NOT cool, dude.” Said the rock-like Alien as he slammed his fist down, creating a seismic blow. “Hmm…I got it! Call me Quartzmain!” He noticed some looks from the civilians as he asks, “What? It’s the best I can think of for this guy. Besides, it’s based off of Quartermain…a name that means ‘many skills’…ah forget it.” He did a hand wave to the confused people as he glared ahead.

The large worm roared out as Khyber frowned. “An Basalt…hmm…” He whistled as the large creature dug under ground as Quartzmain ran ahead, looking down and scowling as he turned back to Ben. “Hmm…” He went back to his bag and went to the truck, as Rook ate what looked like cooked meal worms and vegetables out of a box.

“Sorry for not helping, you seemed to have it covered. If you really needed it, asking would not hurt.” Rook said calmly as Ben rolled his eyes as he set his bag down and got his burger out and took a bite.

“Yeah, and its not even a full hour since Juile went off on her mission and I’m already getting attacked by a giant worm monster…and it has that same collar.”  Ben said as he says, “who keeps sending these monsters on me?”

“Who would not?” asked Rook, giving him a raised eyebrow. “I can name several beings who have used monsters before: Hex the sorcerer, Vilgax the conqueror, the Diagon, The Highbreed back during that war…need I go on?”

“Hmm…you’re missing someone in that list; Dr. Animo.” Said Ben, realizing this. “He has dealt with alien Animals before, he knows how to use the Omnitrix’s tech, he knows about plumber tech, he’s even broken into Mount Rushmore a couple times…who’s to say he DIDN’T make whatever’s going on?”

Rook typed in something as he nods. “Well, there is a Dr. Animo in the database. According to this, his crimes include and are not limited to: Crimes against nature by using genetic mutations, attacking a formally defunct Plumber base, nearly setting off a large DNA bomb, conquering the Null Void, and creating an army of ancient bird-like creatures.” Rook read as Ben nods.

“Yeah, he did all that…believe me now?” Ben asked as Rook rubbed his chin.

“Hmm…according to this, he is currently in a holding cell in the HQ. The last time he went to the Null Void he took it over.” Rook said. “Lets go. You did get the others their food, right?”

“Yeah, I told them to deliver to Grandpa Max’s place.” Ben said with a nod as Rook drove towards the HQ, putting on his ID mask to better hide himself in case anyone saw him while on the move.

(Later…at Plumbers HQ. 12:43)

“So let me get this straight, Ben. You think Animo is involved with that weird collar thing?” Manny asked, a sandwich in one hand and his fries in one of his lower arms, taking one from the box as he asked.

“I find that hard to believe.” Helen said, sipping a milkshake. “After the egg incident, he’s been locked up tight. So unless he suddenly mutated himself into a bug, I doubt he could get out.”

“Just take us to Animo’s cell, Helen. I want answers.” Ben said, crossing his arms as the group headed towards the cell block as Helen got her communicator out.

“Hobble, we’re going to be talking with Animo.” Helen said as they went up the elevator as they passed Cooper, who was working on a broken terminal, heading towards the cellblock.

“Hmm, so what should we expect?” Rook asked, as Ben shrugs.

“Who knows, more then likely mutants though.” Ben said as he leaned against the wall, waiting for it to get up. The elevator stopped as they headed towards an…empty cell full of stuffed animals?

“What the-“ Alan asked, as they opened the cell and looked around. “Where’d he go!?”

“How did he escape? No alarms went off. I just saw him yesterday!” said Helen, looking around the room quickly as Manny picked up a stuffed alligator that had stitched on rabbit ears and what looked like a shark tail.

“…This guy needs a new hobby…specifically not a creepy one that will haunt my nightmares.” Manny said with a groan, throwing the stuffed animal over his shoulder. Ben looked around as he looked towards Rook.

“See Rook? The crazy is right here and Animo is gone.” Ben said, looking around he noticed something; letters. Ben picked one up and read it. “Hmm…this is a letter…you guys give him mail?”

“Yeah…some of our prisoners do get mail. The Plumbers are a government group and there are some scientists who are interested in Animo’s work for some lord know’s why reason…why?” Helen asked as Ben frowned.

“This is about some plan…it was likely smuggled in.” Ben said as he looks at the ground and notices something…”How did ants get in here?”

“Ants are quite common on Earth, Ben. You should know that.” Rook said as Manny looked down, a scowl on his face.

“But how did ants get into the HQ…unless there’s a tunnel somewhere.” Manny said as he followed the ant trail and lifted up the toilet, revealing a secret passage. “Hmm…looks like we’re gonna need a bigger tunnel if we’re all gonna track him…Ben?”

Ben nods as he slams down on the Omnitrix, turning into Armordrillo. “Armordrillo!” the behemoth said as he began to dig through the wall with his jackhammer-like arms, making the opening bigger as the group followed him as he dug through the hole.

“Is this Animo really so dangerous?” Rook as Manny gave the less experienced member a look as he showed his prosthetic.

“He’s why I got THIS. So yeah, he’s plenty dangerous, even without his mutants.” Manny said as he stomped after Ben as they came into the sewers. “Ugh, the sewers?”

“Of course.” Armordrillo said flatly as he looked around. “I think I can have an alien that can track him.” He slammed down on the Omnitrix as he glowed, changing into something else. The form he took now was a large, yellow and dark orange jellyfish-like octopus with large yellow-green eyes and multiple tentacles.

“Squidstrictor!” He said as he looks around. “OK…when I unlocked this alien, Gwen taught me a neat trick this thing can do…I can track mana like she can when I’m in this form.”

“Heh that should make it easy then. Follow the Mana trail, find the nutty professor.” Alan said as Squidstrictor concentrated, his two longest tentacles floating up as he nods, slithering forward with the others following, Manny and Rook getting their guns out.

“I think I’m getting some…thing…” Squidstrictor began as he looked up and saw that in front of them was a large, dark red and black ant, that glared with it’s multiple eyes. “…Ah man…”

“Giant ant, yep, we’re after the right guy.” Manny said with a glare as he jumped up and punched it, making it stagger a bit as Rook ran forward to help, but both Manny and Rook went back when it shot out a blast of flames.

“A fire ant. Oh-ha-ha, Doc. REAL original.” Alan said, rolling his eyes as he powered up. “Hey big guy, don’t you got a picnic to get to?” He asked as he fired a blast of fire at them, as Helen sped forward and began to give a rapid punch at it, but the ant smacked them aside with his head, roaring out.

Squidstrictor scowled at this as his body began to expand and fired out a black liquid at the creature, hitting it in the eyes. The ant squealed out in pain as Squidstrictor extended his tentacles to move him up and landed on the creature’s back.

“I’m getting this freak.” Squidstrictor said as his tentacles began to wrap all over him, binding the creature as he got an idea. “Manny, Sonic Clap!”

“What? Are you nuts?! That would shake the entire tunnel on top of us!” Said Manny as Squidstrictor shook his head.

“Not if you focus. Remember: you got to focus it all. Aim right for the ant. OK?” Squidstrictor said as Manny took a sight as he looked at his prosthetic and nods.

“OK…here goes…something.” Manny said as he focused and got his hands out before yelling out, slamming all four hands together at once, creating a sonic boom right at the ant, making it cry out as it suddenly glowed.

“YOW!” Said Squidstrictor as he let go quickly and got away as the ant exploded.

“Incredible…the sonic blast atomized its energized DNA.” Rook said, as Ben turned back to normal.

“Yep, all part of the plan.” Ben said sheepishly as he gave Manny a thumbs-up. “Great job, man.” Manny gave a smirk at this, crossing his arms…but frowned when he saw many more ants coming in.”

“…I think I’m going to get a cramp if I have to clap THAT much…” said Manny nervously. Everyone got close as Ben looked at the Omnitrix and saw it was drained.

“Rook? You got a freeze ray or a fire extinguisher?” Ben asked nervously as Rook shook his head ‘no.’ “…and Alan is a fire guy and Helen is super fast…MAN I wish my watch didn’t have a specific charge…”

“Even then, my speed isn’t enough to take on an entire hive.” Said Helen as a faint buzz is heard.

“My pets…come to me…” said a voice in the tunnels as the ants went away, as Ben frowned. Alan powered down as he panted a bit.

“OK, that was stressful…those things were looking at us like we were lunch.” Alan groaned.

“That voice…sounds familiar…come on.” Ben said as they all nod and followed after the large ants before coming across a group of them carrying machine parts.

“Ants carrying machinery…odd mannerism for a hive-based mentality.” Rook said as Ben looked this over and nods.

“But they’re big enough to carry us. Come on.” Ben said as the five jumped down and landed on a large piece of machinery.

“Why do you know so much about ants?” Alan asked in confusion.

“when I was coming to Earth, I read an interesting book about Ants being the dominate species on Earth.” Rook said…which resulted in Manny’s face to puff up and cover his mouth to keep from laughing at how silly that sounded.

“OK, that is dead wrong. Where the heck did that idea come from?” Helen asked flatly.

“Well, the numbers of ants outnumber humans and are on every continent, except for Antarctica.” Said Rook.

“…Yeah, because Antarctica is one of the coldest places on the planet.” Alan said flatly. “No duh ants won’t be there,” Everyone got off and snuck around a large amount of rocks and looked around.

“Now, where would Animo be?” rook asked as Ben points ahead.

“How about the anthill the size of the Empire State Building.” Ben asked flatly as he points to the giant structure of sand and stone, as everyone got just as flat looked.

“WOW…that is NOT subtle…and where are we?” Alan asked in confusion.

“Likely something ol’ Animo whipped up. Knowing him, he used his mutation gun to terra form this place. That or the ants REALLY messed this place up.” Manny said, looking around.

The group went around a large rock as Ben saw his Omnitrix was fully charged. “OK, lets see if we can get in…’ he began to select but noticed Rook messing with what looked like slime.

“What is that?” Helen asked as Rook looked at them calmly before throwing the sludge onto them, making the group cry out in annoyance.

“HEY! What the heck, man?!” Manny asked in annoyance as Alan spat it out, disgusted.

“Ah man, it got in my mouth!” Alan said, as Helen looked annoyed, as did Ben.

“Why the heck did you just throw mud on us?” Ben asked as rook put another coat on them, as Alan looked even more annoyed.

“Knock it off! What is this stuff!?” Alan asked as Rook began to put it on himself.

“Ant pheromones. This should disguise us, as they instinctively attack all those who would invade their hive. So this should make us blend in.” Rook said as they all glared at him.

“Dude, if you put ant goop on us for nothing, I’m sicking Rath on you.” Ben warned as Rook nods, understanding as they went towards the opening as a large ant growled down at them as it’s antenna tapped them…and moves away.

“Phew…looks like this slime has SOME uses…but I’m gonna need to get this into the laundry after this is done.” Helen said as she looked around, her visor coming down. “Hmm…this looks like it was made in code. These things were building with a purpose.”

“I think I see him ahead.” Alan said as the group saw a large machine with two figures standing on a terminal. The group went to them.

“Great job, my old friend. You’re pets are doing a good job.” Said a thinly-built older man with long gray hair tied in a pony tail, a white headband wrapped around his head and wearing a long brown trench coat over a black shirt and black pants.

“Of course, Animo. Your genius gave them the power, between the two of us, this should work out fine.” Said the second figure with a chuckle, wearing a long-sleeved jacket over a hoodie, a pair of black slacks and noticeable three-toed insectoid feet and what looked like long-claws coming out of his sleeves.

“Hey Animo!” Ben said, getting their attention as they both turned, revealing the other man’s face to them; he had green exoskeleton with spikes in the form of a goatee, and large yellow eyes. “And Clancy?”

“Tennyson…long time to no see…” Clancy said with a growl. “I had to go underground after the Negative Ten incident.” Clancy glared darkly at this as various insects began to crawl out of his jacket.

“OK, that’s nasty.” Alan said as he glared at this, Clancy growling as Animo put a hand on his shoulder.

“So Tennyson, I wanted to wait to kill you, but now is good enough. And for now, you are not gonna just worry about these ants. You see…my plan is to turn ALL the ants on earth into my own personal army. Clancy here is willing to help me give his insect friends the power they deserve.” Animo said as Clancy nods.

“And once we are done, you are all gonna be ruled by the Insects.” Clancy said as both laughed evilly, as Ben looked at the others.

“Yeah…I don’t think he’s sending the aliens after you.” Alan said as he powered up, Helen got into a stance as the others got ready.

Outside, Khyber and his dog found the anthill as he frowns. “Flush him out, boy.” Khyber said as his dog nods and ran inside, growling.

Back inside, Ben glared as he says, “Look Animo, While I think giant ants sound kind of cool-kind of-we can’t let you do it. Team? Lets do this.”

Rook noticed something and frowns. “They got a Kormite power core, I got to disarm it. You guys keep them busy.”

“OK…let’s go.” Ben said as Alan, Manny and Helen nod as they all ran forward, as Clancy hissed.

“Boys, feeding time.” Clancy said as several ants came in as some came out, spitting acid as Alan jumped back, glaring as his hands ignited and fired a burst of fire. Animo smirked as he typed away.

“Try and stop us now, Boy!” Animo said as he slammed the button as Helen went wide eyed.

“Oh no!” Said Helen said as the machine activated as many more ants came in.

“OK…Swampfire, go!” Ben said as he slammed down as he grew and turned into…”RATH! Ah man…LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, NEW OMNITRIX! WHY CAN’T YOU TURN ME INTO THE RIGHT THING!?!?!”

“Dude, you’re just as strong as I am. Come on, lets take these freaks out.” Manny said as he punched one away as Rath growled.

“You can’t tell Rath what to do, Manny Armstrong! Rath does what Rath wants! And Rath wants to crush these freaky bugs!” Rath said as he jumped up, roaring. He tackled into an ant and smacked it aside a Helen ran forward, but got caught by her tail.

“Aah!” Helen screamed as she was getting dragged.

“Helen!” Manny said as he punched away one of them as he jumps up and smashes the ant with his feet, making it let go. He looked at Helen and went to her. “You alright?”

“Yeah…thanks.” Helen said with a smile as Manny smiled back as Alan fired at an ant that was behind them.

“Flirt AFTER we take out the ants, guys.” Alan said as more ants came in. “Which might be a LOT harder than we think…”

“Face it, children. Sheer numbers outmatches you. When in proper amount, any ant swarm can take on any prey.” Clancy smirked as a barrage of lasers came down as Animo looked up and growled.

“Everyone, I got the Kormite Power Core.” Rook said as he came down, firing from his shoulder-mounted proto-tool.

Rath growled as he says, “Let me tell you something Rook Blonko! Even though Rath is starting to begrudgingly like your help, in spite of himself, Rath is gonna-“ Before Rath could finish, the Omnitrix timed out and turned him back into Ben.

“Sorry about that…rath tends to get REALLY cranky.” Ben said sheepishly as Rook nods.

“A Kormite power core…I’m guessing this is the power source of the that thing. No core, no monster ants.” Helen said as Alan gave out a scream as an army began to swarm over them.

“Ah man…come on, Omnitrix…give me something good!” Ben said, as he got crowded, as a bright green glow came out as a figure suddenly jumped out, sending many of the ants away as something landed.

“What the…?” asked Helen as the new alien came out, chirping faintly. Standing before them was a humanoid Grasshopper with a rounded head with a thick cone-like top on his head, yellow-green skin, rounded black eyes with yellow-green pupils, four arms with three fingers each, thick legs with clawed toes, a pair of antenna on his head, and a pair of wings on his back and wearing a black and white jumpsuit with the Omnitrix symbol on his upper shoulder's sleeve.

“ANOTHER Bug? I am getting sick of bugs.” Manny said in annoyance as Ben looked himself over.

“Hmm…a new alien, eh?” He asked, smirking. “Lets see…” He got ready as his thick legs got bent as he jumped forward, his wings flapping a bit as he tackled into one of the ants, sending it flying back. “A living Battering Ram, eh? Hmm…I got it! Crashhopper!”

“No matter the form, Tennyson. You cannot defeat us.” Animo warned, getting on a power suit that looks akin to a large ant as Clancy growled, swarms of flying insects forming out of him.

“Oh yeah? Lets see ya work with that.” Crashhopper smirked as he jumped up and bounced around and tackled Animo, making him yell out. Animo growled as he fired energy blasts at the hopping insectoid, who kept jumping around.

Rook kicked an ant away as he looks at Alan. “Alan, can you give me a lift? I have an idea.”

‘Uh…OK?” Alan said as he picked up Rook and took off into the air as Clancy roared out as he slashes at Helen, who dodges and sent a rapid punch his way, making him growl as he spat out a blast of acid, making her jump back to dodge as Manny roared out, slamming his fist into Clancy’s face, sending him back.

“Sorry cockroach, but it’s two on one.” Manny said as Animo cried out as he got sent into Clancy, making the two falls back a bit.

“Guys! We need some back up here!” Alan said as both he and Rook backed up. Crashhopper and Manny both jumped up as Helen sped up the machine to get to the other two.

“I got a plan: I can reset the Kormite core to decimate these ants.” Rook said as Crashhopper smirked.

“That’s good.” Crashhopper as Rook looked concerned.

“But he said that could wipe the ants, the anthill, and all of us. Not to mention any part of the city within 300 miles.” Alan said nervously, as Helen cringe.

“and that’s bad.” Manny said, punching an ant away as Helen went to it and looked it over.

“We can isolate the energy to just blow up the ants.” Helen said as Rook nods.

“That sounds better.” Rook said as he heard buzzing and saw Animo being brought up with Clancy, both glaring.

“curse you, Tennyson! You and your meddling ways!” Animo said with a glare as Crashhopper groaned.

“I forgot he talked like that for a moment…” Crashhopper muttered as a growl is heard as Khyber’s dog came down, growling at them. “Mutant dogs?” he asked, confused.

“Make up your mind, man. Are you doing an anthill or a pound?” Manny said as Animo raised an eyebrow.

“This isn’t mine.” Animo said as the dog growled as he glowed red, making everyone go wide eyed as the dog began to grow in size before becoming a dark gray, 16 foot tall behemoth with an odd-looking nose, dark red eyes and purple goo sacks covering it’s body, a red collar around it’s neck and what looked like large, elephant-like hands.

“…But it is interesting…” said Clancy said with a growl as Crashhopper growled.

“I got the big freak. Manny, Alan, take on Animo and Clancy. Rook, you and Helen work on that device.” Crashhopper said as he jumped at the monster but grunts, as his skin was too thick. “OK…that hurt.”

“Hey Animo, it’s payback time for taking my hand!” Manny said as he charged at him as Alan smirked as his hands glowed.

“Crispy flies, anyone?” Alan smirked as he glared down Clancy, who growled in annoyance. Clancy flew forward and slashed at him, making Alan jump back as he fired flames back.

Rook let the Proto-tool fire at the ants as he and Helen rewired the machine as Rook nods. “You take this to the main computer, I will give cover fire.” Helen nods as she sped off with the device, Rook firing energy at the large ants.

Crashhopper jumped at the creature as he smirked. “Alright big guy, lets try this!” he jumped right into the sack, but cried out in shock as he got stuck. “what the? What is this!?” He tried to jump out, but couldn’t move.

Khyber watched from afar as he got his knife out. “Soon…once those ants devore his friends, I will get my prize.” He chuckled but frowned when he saw Rook. “The other partner is still here…”

Rook saw this and went wide eyed, “Ben! Hold on!” He fired a line at Crashhopper, who was getting sucked in but his upper arm grabbed the wire and Rook pulled back.

“Thanks…” Said Crashopper, panting a bit. He glared at the monster as he realized something. “Wait…this thing is an intruder…Manny, Alan! Knock out Animo and Clancy! They’re the only ones keeping the ants under control!”

“No need to tell us twice!” Manny said, dodging energy from Animo before jumping up and grabbing him. “Alan, dual throw move!”

“Right!” Alan said with a nod as he grabbed Clancy as the two were thrown at each other, the headband on Animo’s head shattering from the impact as the two groaned into unconsciousness.

The ants all hissed when they got free from the control and swarmed the monster, as Khyber watched with a frown. The monster roared out as Crashhopper looked up. “Helen, now!” Helen heard this and nods as she typed quickly and activated the device, making a shockwave come out.

The ants all glowed bright red before they all exploded, making the sound of beeping heard as the dog-like beast groaned a bit, shaking off before growling, running off. Crashhopper frowned as he turned back to normal. “That thing is what was attacking you…” Alan said with a frown as the group glared at Animo and Clancy as they advanced.

“Aloysius James Animo. Clancy Archibald Chester. You are both under arrest.” Rook said, as Ben smirked

“He Middle named you, you are BOTH busted.” Ben said with a smirk as Animo growled.

“You will pay for this, Tennyson! You hear me!” Animo said as Manny groaned as he flicked both on the head, knocking them out.

“Yeah, yeah. We get it.” Manny said with a scowl. He looked at Ben with concern

(Later…)

9at the Plumbers HQ. 14:34.)

Ben sighed as the group was looking over the pictures of the predators so far. “OK, I did some cross references and I got what they were. You already know the Root Shark.” Cooper said, showing the Root Shark that attacked him at school. “But here’s the others.”

He first showed the rhino-like beast. “This is a Crabdozer, a predator from the star Pyros.” Patelliday said, motioning to the creature’s design. “You see, this thing is made to eat Pyronites for lunch.”

 “SO I’m not going near it…” Alan said with a cringe as Patelliday nods in agreement.

“Yeah. And that creature that attacked in Undertown is a Buglizard, the predator of Lepidopterra, Stinkfly’s species.” Patelliday explained further as it showed Buglizard.

“And then there’s the Slamworms, the predators of Talpaedan, or Armordrillo.” Copper said, showing the worm-like beast from earlier that day.

“And the Mucilator, the gray thing with the goo sacks, is the predator of the Locuai, aka Crashhopper.” Manny, seeing the other creatures as he read them over with a frown, “And then there’s the Terroranchula, some sort of predatory creature for some small bug alien.”

“And many others likely on that knock off Omnitrix.” Ben said with a sigh, looking at his phone as he groaned. “Ah man, how am I gonna explain this to my folks? Or to anyone really?”

“You mean that someone decided to make the ultimate anti-Omnitrix?” Helen asked as she sighs. “I’m not sure…but you got us. We’ll back you up.”

“Plus we were able to make it run off, so that proves we can scare it off.” Alan said with a smirk.

“Yeah, just be glad we made sure to get Animo a better cell. We won’t have to worry about him for awhile.” Manny smirked as he looks up towards the other cells.

“True…but I am wondering what Julie is getting into on her trip. Hope she and her classmates are OK.” Ben said, looking up. The others looked at each other with concern, also curious on how their friend is doing.

In the upper floor, Animo sewed up a stitched up animal as he says, “This is only a set back, my old friend…soon we will have our revenge.”

“Yes, sir…” Said Clancy with a faint smirk, insect all over his cell as both gave dark chuckles.

End of Episode 6 

Well, that was an easy one to do. Pretty simple way to deal with this. And yes, I did give Crashhopper a more insect-like appearance. I just felt giving him more aesthetically insect appearance would be a better design than what he got. And also renamed Rocks from the Ben 10 play to ‘Quartzmain’ as a way to give him a better name. Sorry, but ‘Rocks’ is a lame name. Hope I did good on this and please let me know what you think. Please Read, Review and Suggest away!
