Ben 10 x Starfire

Doctor Animo

 Starfire was in the air working crowd control on the mutated beasts, herding them back toward the center with Jen and Gwen using her starbolts. Max in full plumber gear hung back, alternating between a stun blaster and a net gun, Jen rolled and bounced in Cannonbolt between Animo and his massive rhino-spider monster he was riding and various other beasts, and Gwen was in full dire cat form grappling with and biting/clawing a similar sized mutant tiger.

Gwen growled, trying to order the beast in its own native language, ~Stand down, submit! Submit! I am your alpha not the frail human!~

But all Jen heard was her cousin growling and mewing like a wild beast and fighting like one.

The beast swiped at Gwen, drawing blood as its raked its claws across her eyes forcing Gwen to break contact and back off to circle around, one eye shut tight as a visible star left its mark in her fur. Jen's mind drawing up the next round as the beast went for Gwen's neck and tore it open forcing Gwen into another life, another lost piece of her humanity. In Jen's mind it was the last piece, not simple life 2 of 9 but the last life as the Gwen in her mind goes full beast, eternally.

Jen pulls back from the fight, hands up in peace, "What do you want Animo?"

"Your death girl, I thought that was obvious!"

She dodges the mounts charge as she flashes to XLR8, "No, what is your end goal, why are you doing all," she steps aside to motion to the destruction and fighting, casting a glance back to Gwen as she circles around her opposite looking for her opening to attack."

"They laughed at me! Called me a fool, a mad man!"

"Who?" Jen said softly.

Animo paused, his beasts relaxing at his mental command, "What game are you playing girl?"

"No games. I'm trying to end this without more blood, permanently. What do you want?"

Animo gave a sadistic grin, "I want to show world my genius with genetics."

"Why? Fame? You insist your a doctor right? There has to be more."

The mutants start to pull back and surround Animo, Max and Starfire hanging back and watching in confusion, "You see my creations? Do you have any idea what we could do with one cow the size of a building instead of 20 that only eats as much as 5. The cost saving. The massive volume in milk production. Or trained tiger crisis responders, war spinos. They call me mad but think of all my creations could do for the world! Think of all those fools in the scientific community could learn from studying their DNA; cheetah speed, gorilla strength, tiger ferocity. Imagine human animal hybrids set to war, imaging boxers with kangaroo DNA, cheetah men races. Hell think of the possibilities for all those fools who cry about birth rates if females had the DNA of cat and had litters of four to six after just three months not nine!"

Jen looked to Max, "With your connections could you get his papers published?"

"Yeah sure, but why Jen? He's a criminal, a threat."

Jen looks back to Animo, extending her hand, "Will you serve your time for your actions if your work is published and credited?"

Animo stumbles, caught completely off, "I-I...yes I suppose."

Jen smiles, "Then do we have a deal?"

Animo dismounts, cautiously approaching the alien girl, "Are you absolutely serious?"

She nods, powering down.

He takes her hand, glancing to the Omnitrix, "Don't know how you got it off the brat but your a much more level headed user of that thing then him. What's your name?"

She smiles, taking pride for the first time in her new self, "J-Jennifier Wilhelm Tameran."

"Well Ms. Tameran my name is Doctor Aloysius James Animo, or as you already know Dr. Animo."

Jen smiles as they shake, "Let's make the world know that name too." she motions to her team, "Now you have notes on your experiments and research right?"

He nods reaching into his vest to pull out a flash drive.

"Jen the police," Gwen roars out as lights and sirens approach.

"Right!" Jen pulls her hand away as she shifts to Four Arms, "Sorry doctor but I'm not ready to step into the light as a public figure yet, I'm only 11."

He nods, handing over the drive, "If you keep your word I hope one day we can both stand in the light as friends." his demeanor twisting in distrust, "Other wise I will hunt you down to experiment on you and that watch until there is nothing left but a mad beast."

Jen smirks back, "You can try."

Then mounting up Gwen with Max the team rush off before the police arrive.
