Ben 10: Remastered

Chapter 4: Exposure

"Fuck, Fuck Fuck!" I yelled as I panicked, running around blowing on the fire around me but then realised I had Ice as an ability so I felt a large amount of ice forming in my hands...

"Hoho, this is going to be good" I laughed a bit after that and then held my hands out, letting large jets of ice get expelled from my palms, hitting the fire and putting it out."Phew" I sweatdropped before I heard footsteps come from behind me, looking back, I saw that it was... Louise and Kevin both? They probably got too worried about me and came looking for me.They both stopped once they saw the 6"7 humanoid made of an icy skeleton and fiery flesh. Screams. Kevin jumped in front of his cousin in an attempt to protect her and she clung to him religiously. This was going to be a good prank hehe...

"Stay back... I'm warning you- whatever you are!" Kevin shouted at the top of his pubescent voice

"I am the great God of Fire, Surtur! All humans SHALL kneel before the might of this great one!" I yelled in my weirdly Norse-accented tone before showing a display of my fire powers by allowing a flame to dance on my palm "Kneel... or Die"

 I gave them an ultimatum. They both fell to their knees and started crying before I thought I took it too far but man this was too funny... I burst out laughing in my normal teenage voice.

"Ha! Pranked you! You guys should have seen your faces!" I yelled in hysterics as I pointed at them.

"B-Ben?" They both yelled in disbelief.

"No... It is I Surtur, Duh, of course, it's me ben" I replied as I hit the Omnitrix symbol on my chest which suddenly enshrouded me in the same green light as earlier before I felt myself turn human again... 'man that felt weird' I exclaimed mentally 'It's not uncomfortable or anything but it just feels as weird as having that first blast of cold water down your spine' As I expected though, I felt completely normal and the cut on my arm had been healed which made me break out into a small smile.

"Hey guys," I said as they got up angered and pounced at me with flames in their eyes. Before I knew it, I had been tortured with the greatest torture technique ever... Tickling. 

"You idiot, you really had us scared," They said, "We thought that thing may have already taken you or even worse, vaporised you" tears seemed to streak at their eyes and I felt slightly guilty at doing that. I couldn't believe that almost yesterday these people were alien to me, pun intended, but now I'm almost part of their family. I almost started crying but managed to only tear up, I rushed at them and enveloped both of them in a hug to which Louise started crying and Kevin was barely holding it together like me.After we got ourselves together, Louise wiped away a tear from her eyes then looked me dead in my eyes,

"What was that  just now you were a monster and now you're human?" She asked, Kevin, nodding to her question."First, They're aliens..." I stated before continuing to explain how this satellite fell from the sky and when I got closer to it, it opened to reveal the watch which suddenly attached to me. Then I showed them how I ended up turning into that alien after pressing the two buttons on the side, twisting the dial then slamming it down on the alien of choice...A green light then ensued after I slammed on the dial.

"Uhh what is he now?" They said as they looked at a large monitor lizard-like alien that had four blue piercing eyes and a slimy tongue that was constantly flicking around, tasting the air. It had spikes that looked soft at the moment down its spine but seemed like they could straighten at any moment. Those would be deadly sharp... was the last thought they had before they seemed to hear a hiss from the lizard.

'I can't seem to speak in this form... Hmm,' I thought as I came to a conclusion 'This form is similar to Wildmutt in the original but it seems that it can see heat signatures as well through its eyes' I continued as I looked left and right seeing Kevin and Louise's heat signatures but then I noticed my forked tongue... it was constantly flickering and all these sudden smells assaulted my nose. It added another coloured dimension to my vision... This was one heck of a monitor lizard it almost monitored all aspects of my surroundings and I could taste the smell of the owl sitting in the tree 9 feet away from us. This was amazing I yelled mentally as I jumped around... but now I tried its fighting capabilities... I spat and a weird slime came out of my mouth that sizzled on the tree that I aimed at... hmm could i possibly change the properties of this slime? I then proceeded to spit again and it seemed only to cling to the tree this time. 'Success!' I yelled mentally. Then I looked at my hands? feet? Paws? and I thought about the claws that I could feel retracted. Shiiing. The claws and spikes on my back suddenly erected and emerged and I could feel their sharpness as my spikes seemed like they were cutting the air. 'This alien is so cool... so what do I call him? Reptile no... hmm Reptil! After the red dude in that comic book series but I'm way cooler!'

I then hissed towards the cousins and nodded my head as I gestured them to get on my back as I pulled the spikes back into their softened condition and let them get on my back before we ran back to the RV.

As I was jumping through the forest, tree to tree then on the ground at times, I felt amazing in this form as all those colourful scents entered my nose. I truly felt alive as I rushed towards the RV, the air passing me by and I felt like I had truly found something here... with these people, with this family...We suddenly arrived there and saw Grandpa Max stumble down the stairs of 'The Rust Bucket' as he saw us arrive. Kevin and Gwen dismounted,"You two what are you doing with that?" Max said as they ran to hug him."That's ben grandpa" They both replied in unison as I pressed on the Omnitrix, returning me to my normal form...Max passed out from the shock of me having the Omnitrix. Haah This is going to be a fun explanation...
