Within an instant, Ben was at his next destination, which seemed to just be New York City.
Ben: Okay, this seems normal so far.
Ben walked through the streets of New York and took in the peacefulness of not being attacked for a moment. Then he smelled a familiar scent.
Ben: *SNIFF* *SNIFF* I know that smell! Tony's Pizza! Grandpa took me and Gwen here when we were kids. Man, I miss them.
Ben went in and ordered a few slices of pizza. As he was walking out, four men in brown hats and trench coats that completely covered their bodies and face walked in.
Ben: Oh this can't be good.
The men walked to the counter to order
Mikey: We'll have one large sausage pizza please!
Raph: NO! Mikey! We settled on mushrooms!
Mikey: You may have settled on mushrooms, but my tummy settled on sausage, bro!
Donnie: You both are wrong. We decided fair and square that we would get a pepperoni pizza. It's a classic!
Mikey: Bro I need some meat on my pie. We are getting sausage!
Donnie: Pepperoni is a meat, you dillweed!
Raph: If i don't get a mushroom pizza slice in my hand in 5 minutes, someone is getting hit!
Leo: Okay, if you guys are just gonna argue, then we are having a plain cheese pizza!
Mikey, Raph and Donnie: PLAIN CHEESE?!
They all bicker at each other screaming out various pizza toppings. Ben walked up to intervene.
Ben: *AHEM*
They ignored him and continued shouting at each other.
Ben: HELLOOOO!
Still nothing. Ben put his fingers in his mouth and let out an immensely loud whistle.
Ben: Sorry to interrupt, but I think I know how to solve your problem.
They all stared at him with confusion for a second.
Mikey: I'm listening.
Ben: Me and my cousin used to have this argument all the time. Then one day my grandpa asked them if they could just make it half and half. So you guys can just get two pies. One half cheese and pepperoni, and one half sausage and mushroom.
Raph: That idea is..
Leo: Perfect.
Mikey: Hells yeah!
Ben: Just like me and Gwen. She'd get half Pepperoni and I'd get my half with anchovies.
All: ANCHOVIES?!
Ben: What's wrong with anchovies?
Mikey: I think I'm gonna be sick.
He went to the trash can and pretended to hurl. Ben started walking out when two cars came hurtling towards him out of control. Leo ran to push Ben out of the way and his trench coat came off, revealing he was a giant talking turtle!
Ben: Uh thanks man. Are you a turtle?
Leo: Don't mention it.
Ben: Nah it's cool. I'm a turtle sometimes too.
Leo: Huh?
The other turtles ran out and dropped their disguises as well. They looked towards where the cars came from and saw a lot of destruction going on.
Leo: Alright, let's go see what's up.
The turtles all got their weapons out, ready to fight and started walking towards the mayhem. Ben got up and started walking with them.
Raph: Woah, anchovies! This is dangerous. You gotta stay here.
Ben: No I'm-
Leo: Listen, man. Thanks for the pizza advice but you really gotta stay out of this. You could get hurt.
Ben: I know but-
Mikey: Cowabunga dudes!
Mikey ran into the chaos and the others followed him. When they got close, they saw a yellow ball thing rolling around crushing cars and smashing buildings.
Ben: It's Cannonbolt!
Raph: What the hell is that?
Mikey: Only one way to find out!
He ran at it with his nunchucks but they bounced right off and hit him in the head.
Mikey: Major party foul, man.
Raph came in with his sai but had no more luck than Mikey. They bounced off and pushed Raph back a few steps, then Cannonbolt slammed into him, sending him flying.
Leo: Okay, fall back. This strategy clearly is not working.
Ben: Allow me.
Raph: No, get back!
Ben: Trust me. I know what I'm doing.
Ben turned towards Cannonbolt and pressed onto the Omnitrix, transforming into Humongousaur! The turtles all looked up in awe, as seeing Ben turn from a scrawny kid to a giant dinosaur was jarring.
Humungousaur: See. Told you I know what I'm-
Cannonbolt flew up and smashed straight into Humungousaur's face, sending him to the ground. The turtles took a second, then all stopped and pointed and laughed.
Humumgousaur: Hey, not funny guys! That actually hurt.
Humungousaur stood back up and turned towards Cannonbolt again. He watched as Cannonbolt revved up to rush at him again. He waited for him to fly up towards his face and dodged the attack! He then caught Cannonbolt in mid-air, making him unroll from his ball form.
Humungousaur: Got ya!
Cannonbolt vanished and returned into the Omnitrix. Then Ben transformed back to himself.
Raph: What the hell just happened?
Donnie: Can I study your watch?
Leo: Nice moves out there.
Mikey: I'm willing to overlook the anchovies cuz that was SICK!
They all sat on top of a building and ate their pizza together looking at the NYC skyline. Then Ben warped out to his next location.
