Protocol OBT - OmnitrixBen10

2. My big sis kicks my butt

While Azmuth continued working on his digital hologram screen I looked at my right hand, not because a day ago was a Tetramand arm, but because I was sure I had lost it in the battle that almost cost my life. They said that fusing with the Omnitrix had rebuilt my arm. By having my DNA, it simply recreates my body exactly as it was.

—How much longer do I have to wait, Azmuth?— I had been sitting in a chair with wires on my back for 2 hours. We arrived at Galvan Prime the day before, although Azmuth decided to postpone the calibrations until today. I thought that at last he would be empathizing with my condition, however he made me sleep with another cord in my neck, saying it was to monitor my internal waves while I'm sleeping. Kind of awkward but I would have to get used to these things, that would be my life from now on.

—I haven't finished adjusting the new recharge parameters of the Omnitrix, I ask you to wait in the chair for a few more minutes—. Resigned, I sat waiting for Azmuth to finish his work. After a while he turned off the screen he was working on and walked towards me.

—Until now the Omnitrix was placed in recharge mode when one cycle of your transformations finished. I've managed to extend the length of time you can maintain your body to the estimated amount of time a human functions before needing to sleep, however overusing transformations will cause it to wear out faster. Your energy can be restored if you rest like a normal human, though it is even more efficient if you rest inside the core of the Omnitrix. But I'm not going to force that on you, you're already dealing with enough changes.

—Wait wait wait, inside the core? Do you mean my body fades?

—Of course not,— I sighed in relief— your body simply returns to the Omnitrix's database in the form of DNA, which leads to you taking the form of the core.

—It's exactly the same! —I said while gently hitting my face with the palm of my hand—When I woke up after the accident I was in a huge empty space, that was...

—Inside Omnitrix's core. Since you were originally a living being and not a DNA sample like your other aliens, your consciousness enters the Omnitrix while your body becomes the core. If you run out of energy you will be forced to go into recharge mode and you will be inside the Omnitrix for a long time until you have rested enough.

—Should I be concerned about the way you say forced?

—Try not to go to that extreme. I installed a program that will warn you in advance when you enter the red energy zone. I will give you the activation code of the core form, for this you must press the switches on your neck in a certain pattern. It would be disastrous if someone squeezed them in the middle of a fight and left you defenseless.

—If I'm in...core form, can I come back on my own?

—For now I'm not sure, you've only been in that form once and that time I was the one who activated you.

Activated... I was already afraid of it but this sounds less and less human. Azmuth pressed some buttons on my chair and the wires disconnected from my back. I got up and put on my shirt. If I was going to be constantly connecting to cables I would have liked to have more suitable clothes. I Imagine a black and green one-piece suit in my mind, with long sleeves down to the hands and on both of them was the Omnitrix symbol. Before I knew it, my clothes had changed after a green flash, like when I transformed. I looked at Azmuth who started explaining to me immediately.

—You unconsciously give clothes to your other transformations, now your body can be considered one more of the transformations of the Omnitrix. Since you are fused to it now you should be able to change your clothing at will. —Beeps in my head disoriented me and my vision turned green
