A Certain Powerful Omnitrix 4: World War X

Crabbiest Scientist Ever

Ultimate Echo Echo burst from the rubble again rubbing his head. Of all the people he had to fight again, Sky Scorcher and Albedo had been the least he'd wanted to fight. And as for Mugino Shizuri, Ben had only met Meltdowner once, but her pride and overconfidence in her own abilities had ticked Ben off so much that he had challenged her to a fight straight on the spot.

Ben remembered it slightly. It had been a couple of weeks after the Daihaseisai, and Mugino had been scoffing at and insulting Mikoto. Ben didn't remember much of what happened next, but the next thing he knew, he had been demanding that Meltdowner fight him. Ben had been able to easily dominate the fight, using Chromastone who thanks to his ability to absorb and redirect light energy, was completely immune to Mugino's Meltdowner ability. After that, it had only taken one punch from Chromastone's hard fist to put Mugino in the hospital for several weeks, some 4th strongest level 5 that was.....

So Ultimate Echo Echo didn't know who he wanted to beat up more......Meltdowner or Albedo. (Ben never really had anything personal against Sky Scorcher.)

"Dang." said Rex. "That guy looks a lot like Ben."

"Ya think?" said Mikoto. "But in my opinion, he never really got the original's good looks down."

"So you do think I'm good looking." said Ultimate Echo Echo.

"Yeah, in a sort of cute and goofy way."

Ultimate Echo Echo just paused for a moment. "Uh....yeah......."

Albedo grinned sinisterly. "Well it is true that we're still outnumbered. But as for outmatched.....I'm pretty sure none of you can match the god like power of a level 6 esper."

"Yeah?" said Ultimate Echo Echo. "Then how come I was able to beat her so easy before?"

"Because I've never unleashed my full power you twit!" said Rikuo Karin angrily. "If I had went full out that first time we met, I would have destroyed the entire city!!!"

"That's a good reason to hold back...." Said Rex looking slightly disturbed.

"But now that this city is officially a warzone." said Mugino. "I'm sure no one will mind if Scorcher over there melts a few hundred buildings."

Ultimate Echo Echo clenched his metal robot hands. He hated to admit it, but if that bit about Scorcher holding back was true, it would take someone as powerful as Atomix or Way Big to defeat these three. Unless.....he tried a different tactic.

Ultimate Echo Echo pressed the Omnitrix crest on his chest and immediately changed back into Toepick.

"Him again!?" said Mikoto. (Mikoto once saw Toepick scare away Dark Matter, the number 2 level 5 in Academy City, ever since then she has felt sort of an unease whenever Ben used this form.) "I am soooo covering up my eyes again."

Toepick shrugged as his mask opened with a sinister hiss. Immediately Mugino, Albedo, and Rikuo were yelling in fright, falling over as they beheld the frightening face of Toepick.

"WHAT IS THAT HORRID THING!!!?" shouted Meltdowner crawling backwards from Ben's most frightening alien. "IT'S SO.........I CAN'T DESCRIBE IT!!!!"

"HOW  COULD YOU HAVE UNLOCKED SUCH A HIDEOUS FORM!!?" Albedo cried out his eyes wide with terror. "I CAN'T LOOK AWAY!!!!!"

Sky Scorcher had her hands over her eyes, which for some reason would not shut. "S-STAY AWAY!!! STAY AWAY!!!! GET OUT OF MY CLOSET!!!!!"

"Closet?" muttered Rex. "Now that's a bit revealing."

"Hmmm..." said Bobo craning his neck in an attempt to get a view of Toepick's face "I wonder..."

Mikoto Immediately grabbed Bobo by the head and turned him away. "Trust me, if you look you'll regret it...Ben once looked into the mirror to see what Toepick looked like.....he still has nightmares." (Toepick's face is supposedly so frightening, that the human brain shuts out the memory of what it looks like, however, aliens with photographic memory have been known to go insane and even into comas after one look at this species's face, even Alien X's species isn't immune to Toepick's gruesome features. Out of all of Ben's aliens, besides Clockwork, Alien X, and Blackout, Toepick is the one of the only aliens whose powers can bypass Accelerator's vector deflection even when he enters black wing form.)
