Here's what I know about the Omnitrix. After watching every single series and movie of Ben 10, I've come to realize that it's the most powerful device in all of the universe. Why do I say that? It's because it can house over 1 million DNA samples of any species throughout the Galaxy.  I wouldn't be surprised if humans were a part of it too. Anyway, it's a watch-like device, that latches on to anyone that goes near it. At the same time, it merges with the wearer's DNA, making it impossible for anything or anyone to remove it. Depending on what they select, the person who wears the Omnitrix can transform their DNA into the alien of their choosing, simply by dialing the alien and pushing the top button. In most people's cases, it's like having the power of a god, which makes it a good reason to start a war. As a child, I always imagined myself wearing one, transforming into all the aliens I've seen on the show. And now that very watch or at least what looks like it, was on my left wrist right now.

"This is... insane!"

Twisting my arm to look at the full view of the device from front to back, I marveled at the device. But that was when I heard a painful groan from beside me. To my left, I noticed a pile of desks and tables, and the groan from underneath it sounded so familiar.

"Wait, Kirishima?!"

Pushing myself off the ground, I limped over to it and tried to lift the desks off. Though they were heavy, I knew better than to leave my friend to suffocate or to get crushed underneath it. As I struggled to lift it, oddly enough, they began to move on their own. As I stood back, something large emerged from the rubble. And when I say large, I mean bulky, red, and spiky. It was some kind of crystallized alien.

"Uh... what happened?"

The thing that pushed out the rubble, held the back of its neck as if it was in pain. My eyes widened when I heard its voice because it was the same as Kirishima. Now that I think about it, its face structure had a slight resemblance to him.

"K-Kirishima?" I asked hesitantly to test if what I was thinking was right. Surprisingly, the alien turned to look at me, as if I called out its own name. I knew it, it really was Eijiro Kirishima, except he looked like a red Diamondhead, a red Petrosapien. Somehow, his skin being a normal human being, turned into extremely thick, red silicon crystals.

"Midoriya, you okay?"

"I-Im fine but, Kirishima, your body..."

"Huh?"

Kirishima looked at his hands and gasped upon seeing them. I watched as he twiddled his fingers, looked at his whole arm, and then placed his hands on his face. After finally inspecting his whole body, he spoke up and said, "W-What happened to me?"

"I-I don't know. Are you okay?"

"I mean, I don't feel any different. Except a little stiffer in the joints," he said while kicking his legs and moving his arms as if to test their motor functions. "But dude, are you okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you got that weird watch on your wrist, and your hair's changed man"

"Wait, what?"

Looking around the room, I found a broken piece of glass in the ground and took it up. I gazed at my reflection and gasped from what I saw. Like most Japanese, it was born with black hair like Kirishima. But looking at it now, it somehow went from natural black to full green. It was almost the same shade of green as the Omnitrix.

"You think that explosion did this to us?" Kirishima asked still looking at his body.

"Probably. But, at least we're still ourselves," I said still trying to figure out what really caused this. But that train of thought was shot out of my head when I remembered the situation we were in. "Wait, where's Kachan?! And Todoroki?!"
