So far, there hasn't been any real problems since the robot attack a few days ago. In the meantime, I've been reading about Ben in the Plumber database. However, it seems like some files are locked. I wonder what could be so important that they need to hide information.
Although, this does put some pressure on me. Ben has saved the universe countless times. Could I do that myself? I highly doubt it. He had so much time to get better with his aliens, starting with a small amount, then slowly growing. I have most of those aliens. But again, why are they locked? The last alien I saw. Looked something like a lava lamp. That alien isn't showing up in the watch. Why is he locked? What's the point?
I get a knock on my door. "Come in." The door slides open and Rook pops his head in. "Morning, Billy." He says. I wave my hand at him. "Morning, Rook."
He then fully enters my room. "In order to fully tap into you potential, we have set up a training course for you." Rook tells me.
"Oh, really? All right then, let's do this." I say, enthusiastically.
We walk down to a very spacious area with a multitude of human sized robots. Above the walls are windows, where I notice Max, Gwen, and Kevin.
"Are we ready to begin?" An unfamiliar voice says.
"Of course not. This course is specifically meant for Billy, not Rook as well." Another voice says.
"It's designed for the both of them." The first one says.
"Is not."
"Is too."
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"You two, calm down." Max tells them. "Rook, come up here. If Billy needs assistance, he will let you know." Rook nods and leaves the room.
"Activating the course." One of the voices says.
The robots come alive and begin to move forwards. I tap the face, select my desired alien, tab, and press the dial down, transforming me.
"Water Hazard!"
I put my palms out and shoot out two high pressure jets of water, breaking chunks off of some of the robots. From there, I put my hand up a little higher and steal the moisture on the robots, causing them to either crack or completely fall apart.
"Easy." I say.
"Initiating the second course." The voice says.
More robots come out. These ones are a bit bigger and bulkier. Press in the dial on my chest to turn back to myself and select another alien.
"Humungousaur!"
I charge in and hit one of the robots with my shoulder, knocking it down. I grab the one closest to me, lift in the the air, and smash it against the downed robot.
One of the robots launches a missile at me. I catch it with my hands, and redirect it at the group of A.I., exploding them to bits.
Another one jumps onto my back, trying to restrain me. I go up to a wall and smash my back against it, flattening the poor to robo-boy.
To combat the rest of them I allow my body to grow larger, covering my darker parts in a rough armor-like plating. Now this will be a cakewalk.
I kick a bunch of the robots, knocking them against walls. I then put my hands out and clap them together, causing a huge pressure of air to send them flying, destroying them in the processes.
"Haha, I didn't think a thunder clap would work!" I press the dial on my chest and revert back to normal.
More robots come out, and I choose the next alien I want. "Let's go with Echo Echo!" I slam down the dial and transform into...
"Swampfire. Eh, I guess this will do." I say, a little bit annoyed.
I put my hands together and shoot out a large fire ball at the robots. "Look at me! I'm actually doing really good. I'm on fire!" I say jokingly.
I turn back to my normal form. "This is surprisingly easy. We got an actual challenge? I ask. I wasn't expecting a response like this.
"Yeah, me." Kevin says, jumping down into the same room as me. If I'm fighting him, I need someone he won't benefit from, like Diamondhead. Well, that depends on if he decides to eithet absorb the alien's material or the Omnitrix's stored DNA. I think I know a good alien. I press in the dial and transform.
"Upchuck!"
I immediately use my tongues to grab the remains of the robots and swallow it. My stomach glows, giving me a weird, yet warming energy inside of me. I regurgitate it and spit it at Kevin, who easily dodges. "That all you got?" He asks.
Kevin reaches for his pocket and pulls out a green shard, similar to that of Diamondhead.
"Taydenite. Practically indestructible." He says, before the subastance starts envelop his body. Well, looks like I won't be winning this one. I just have to try my best.
I eat another pile of robot scraps, but hold it in. Kevin starts to rush at me. He cocks his fist back and throws out his fist. I jump back, dodging out of the way. He seems serious.
My tongues go to the next pile of scrap and bring it to my mouth. Why is this actually tasty? Whatever, I have to time to think about that.
I hop around, avoiding all of Kevin's attack, all the while trying to eat all the scraps around the room.
"Fight me!" Kevin demands, landing a punch against my jaw. I get flung back, sliding across the floor. I get up while rubbing my face.
I run at Kevin as fast as I can. He goes in for a punch. Great. Let's hope this works...
As he extends his arm out, I jump up and land on it, running up his arm, and jumping off of his back. I turn around midair and spit out a massive green ball of energy, hitting Kevin, and knocking him away. "Yes!" I proclaim.
Kevin easily gets his footing, smirking at me. Oh no. I don't like this.
"Come on! Turn into your strongest alien!" He yells at me. I turn back and go into something stronger.
"Chromastone!"
I put my fists together in front of me and fire out a ray of light, connecting against Kevin's arm. He manages to walk forward, blocking my attack. This won't do. I turn back.
"Armodrillo!"
I rush in and go for a punch, which Kevin catches. He has such a tight grip that I can't even use my arm as a jackhammer. I choose a different transformation to escape.
"Goop!"
I easily take my hand out of his grasps and slide away, trying to regain my ground. Come on Omnitrix, what else do you got? What can beat someone who is indestructible?
"I told you, turn into your strongest alien!" Kevin demands.
"Kevin, please, calm down!" Gwen tells him through the speakers. He seems to ignore her. Kevin only has his attention set on me. There is only one alien that I think could beat Kevin, but it might be a long shot.
I pop up the dial and press it down. Once transformed, I feel an immense power flowing through me.
"Are you ready for a little bit of Feedback?" I say, leaping into the air and launching out a wave of energy. Kevin puts his arms in front of his face, blocking the attack.
I land on the floor and see one last robot. That will do I leap in the air and land next to it. Placing my fingers against the machine, I start to absorb the electricity inside of it, giving me another rush of energy. No wonder Ben liked this guy, everything about him seems to be great!
I around to be met with fist against my face, knocking me into the wall close by.
"Feedback won't do a thing against me. I want to fight you at your strongest!" Kevin keeps on persisting.
I grit my teeth. What does he want with me? What did I do to agitate him so bad? Whatever. I need to do something against Kevin.
I put my hands together and form a ball of electricity. "Let's see how you like this one, Kevin!" I say to him. He goes to punch me, but I leap out of the way. "Gonna have to do better than that!"
He dashes in at me, bringing his fist towards me. Now.
I put my hands out, releasing all of the energy that I have inside of me. The blast pushes him back against the wall pinning him into it.
The Omnitrix forces me back to my normal form. I definently used up way too much power from it.
Kevin looks at me, unimpressed. He dislodges his body from the wall and walks towards me, his crystal coating retracting. Kevin stops in front of me and looks down at me.
"Why. Why didn't you use him?" Kevin asks. I take a deep breath, knowing this won't be a pleasant conversation.
"Honestly, I have no clue what alien is the strongest. From what I read, they are all good and powerful in their own rights. They all have their own strengths and weaknesses." I tell Kevin. His expression doesn't waiver.
"If you read about all the aliens in that thing, then you should know about Alie-" A pink barrier forms in between us, cutting off Kevin's sentence. From above, Gwen floats on a pink platform. "That's enough, Kevin." She tells him.
The platform lands on the floor and then disapates, along with the barrier. Gwen walks towards us, looking annoyed.
"You know why that alien is locked, along with the others." Gwen says. Kevin only looks away, staring off into the distance. "What is all of this about?" I ask the two. "I guess you need an explanation." Gwen says to me.
"Ben had a protocol in place if he was ever killed. He had an entire list of people that he would have given the Omnitrix if it was needed. The first person was Grandma Max, but he declined, due to his age. I was the second person in line. However, I failed and got everyone killed." After she says that, I feel like I get a basic understanding of the situation.
"You failed, so Paradox went and gave the Omnitrix to the next person in line?"
Gwen looks at me, surprised. "Yeah, actually. The next person was Rook. However, he too failed. Then, it was given to Kevin. He apparently abused using the strongest alien and rewrote too much of the universe. This prompted the locking of that alien, along with the two others."
I look down at the Omnitrix, now knowing all the ties that it has. An alien can rewrite the universe?
"What are these aliens." I ask Gwen. She looks a little hesitant, before actually telling me everything.
"First, Way Big. He is the largest alien currently in the Omnitrix. This was the first alien that could actually defeat Vilgax, along with many stronger threats." She puts her hand up, making a mini recreation of what the alien looks like.
"Next, is Atomix. This alien radiates and manipulates nuclear energy. This was Ben's second strongest alien."
When Gwen recreates the alien, I my brain instantly recognized it. That's the last one I saw Ben transform into.
"Lastly, their's the Celestialsapien, Alien X. Reverse time, stop it, and even recreating the entire universe. All of those powers, Alien X possess. And that's only the start of it."
After hearing that, I understand why they are locked. They are way too powerful.
I look up at Kevin. "I don't mean any harm. All I want to do is help. I know I'm not Ben, and I don't want to be him. I just want to help as me. I may not have all the same answers or ideas as him, but I know I will try to make this work somehow. This thing on my wrist is a symbol of peace, and that's what I want to maintain. But in order to do that, I need help. And that includes you."
Kevin sighs. "I'm sorry, man." He says, putting his hand out. I take it and we shake hands, smiles forming on both of our faces. "Apology accepted." Kevin then pulls me into a headlock, rubbing his knuckles against my head. "That's for that last attack. It still kinda hurt." He says, with a chuckle at the end. Kevin lets me go. "You are a pretty fast thinker, switching between aliens like that. Wonder how good you would be with master control." He tells me. I look at him. "What's master control?" I ask. He shakes his head. "Story for another time."
The three of us head up to see Max, Rook, and two of those... What were they called again? Galvans, that's it.
"Billy, this is the two smartest people here, Blukic and Driba." Max tells me. I wave my hand at them.
"Greetings. I'm Driba." The lighter toned voiced one says.
"Hi. I'm Blukic." The raspier voiced one says.
"Now that that's out of the way, you should get some rest. You never know when someone might attack." Max says. I nod in response and head back to my room.
I can't help but look through all the aliens in the Omnitrix. I used so many today, and yet I barely scratched the surface. And this isn't even all the aliens! Even though there are three specifically locked, there are thousands, no, millions of different aliens yet to be seen. This will be interesting to play around with.

An alarm blares into my ears, waking me up. I rush out of room to where everyone is currently. "What's going on?" I ask Max.
"There is an army of Ectonurites have seemingly arrived on Earth, along with their leader, Zs'Skayr."
