Alex 10

Chapter 11

Title: Face of Tyranny

A news-station helicopter is following police cars chasing a speeding armored car. "We're live on the scene of a high-speed police pursuit of an armored car stolen earlier today from the federal reserve in Denver. It is believed the thieves also Have a hostage."

Along the highway however, that speeding car was passing by a very familiar RV. Suddenly, large crystal grows out from the pavement, completely destroying the undercarriage of the car. The effect made it spin and completely stop. One of the criminals gets out of the vehicle with the hostage, and the other holding a rather large rifle. He aims his rifle at the police car and shoots it and it flies to the air, just after the police inside it went out.

"Pardon the interruption gentlemen.", a familiar deep voice said behind them."

"Wait. What's this? Yes. It looks like we have another alien sighting!", the reporter said with astonishment.

The criminal  then directs it toward Diamondbreaker, though he doesn't seem to be afraid of it, and slashes it to pieces. The criminal runs away with terror, but he's stopped by another crystal emerging from the cement, lifting him up. The first criminal then walks out from behind with the hostage. Diamondbreaker is silent and he transforms his hand into a spike. With that appearance, they surrender immediately

"We don't know where these strange creatures come from, but they seem to be here to help.", the reporter said as the screen went silent.

The squid like creature had been watching the broadcast on his ship. "The Omnitrix wasted on pointless heroics.", the creature said with absolute disgust in his voice.

His artificial lieutenant looked up at the tank. "Shall I dispatch more drones to retrieve it?"

"Fine.", the creature said as the regeneration tank finally opened, releasing a thick smoke. One of the medical robots crawls out, only to be crushed by a massive metal foot. "I'll do it myself."

Alex wakes up panting heavily and clenching his chest. He was covered in sweat as the Omnitrix was doing something strange... "Wassup man?" Alan yawned as Max got up.

"Another nightmare, Alex?", Max said approaching him.

"It was that weird alien from my vision, only bigger, uglier, and scarier.", Alex said as he calmed down finally, a slight bit shaken still.

"Sure, you weren't just looking in a mirror?", Alice chimed in with a teasing smirk.

"It was just a bad dream, son. We can talk about it in the morning.", Max said patting his grandson's head a bit. He turned and heads back to bed.

"It seemed so real... too real actually.", Alex said as he popped his neck a bit. "He looked right at me and said, "I'm coming for you now"." He said trying to mimic a deep voice."

Max was actually shocked at that statement. "Change of plan. We're hitting the road right now.", he said as he immediately went and sat at the drivers seat

"Grandpa, it's 3:00 in the morning.", Alice groaned a little bit.

"Best way to beat the traffic.", Max said quickly as he sped of. He kept at this until morning when they were passing a field of bison.

"Uh, grandpa, what's with the lead foot?", Alex said, fully dressed in his normal clothing by then. Still kinda confused.

"I want to make Mount Rushmore by nightfall.", Max said with a little sigh. Alex cocked an eyebrow before shrugging.

"Is he always like this or is this just a one time thing?", Alan whispered to Alex who just shrugged, then turned his attention to to Alice... then suddenly getting an idea.
