4th Transformation [Audio // Locked to Omegafriends + Lucky Girl]

[omnitrixter]

This is...ugh...Ben 10. [Can you hear the wince as he says his name? He's starting to get used to saying it, but it sounds so laaaaame in comparison to his other forms' names.]

Word of advice to anybody who thinks they can phase through an entrance to get some info on where Lady Loopy sent it: Don't waste your time. There's nothing there but solid rock. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. AaaaaaaandnearlyendedupturningbackintomewhileIwasstillintherock.

[The last part is rushed together because, la la la, it's no big deal. Nope. Not a big deal. No, sir.]

What gave you that idea? Tunneling in only came up with rock, why would going through the rock another way be any different?

Audio

[omnitrixter]

Okay, there's a method in my madness.

See, when I go intangible as Big Chill, it's kind of like I'm stepping to one side of reality. I'm still there but I'm not quite where everybody and everything else is. It's why I can phase through junk but still bump into other stuff that's intangible. It's also why I'm invisible when I do that.

I was thinking that maybe Miss Looney Tunes was doing something similar. Maybe. Possibly. Just with time instead of 3D space.

...Does that make any sense?

Audio

[6billioncreditwoman]

About as much sense as an explanation of that power can make, I guess. I can follow your reasoning.

Just be careful next time, alright?

Audio

[omnitrixter]

Oh good. Because it's kinda hard to wrap my brain around explaining stuff that I just know how to do when I'm an alien.

Sure thing! [You can't see it, but he's saluting.]

[distorts_space]

What woulda happened if you had done that?

[omnitrixter]

You mean if I found the base like that? Woulda called everybody and gone "Hey, guys! There is a way in!"

[distorts_space]

No, I mean if you had turned back to normal while still in the rock? Would you have exploded or something?

[omnitrixter]

Not exactly. I would've...kinda...become one with the rock.

And dead. Very dead.

Solid rock?

Like, rock rock, or concrete and stuff?

[omnitrixter]

Rock rock. Never been dug into rock. It's like the base was never even there.

[starsburn]

... but...

The base was there. I was there the other day, I was training! How can she just make it disappear like that?

... it's not even disappearing, is it? It's like, something else altogether! Like she made it never exist in the first place.

[omnitrixter]

Well, there was a science guy saying something about the base getting sent to a different time. Maybe it has to do with that?

[hinavelous]

...Not something I would have thought to try, but the insight is helpful!

audio;

[omnitrixter]

Thinking outside the box is kinda my thing. Largely because the watch gives me a lot of practice with it.

audio;

[hinavelous]

It sounds that way! I'm glad we have someone with that sort of thought process and those sort of powers on the team, though.

[omnitrixter]

[You can't see it, but he's blushing and rubbing the back of his neck.]

Thanks. I mean, I do work with the Team Titans, but I guess I'm mostly still flying solo. Though now I hang out with Lucky Girl, too.

[stalksindarkness]

'Ben 10'?

Seriously?

Isn't that like, way too close to your actual name?

[omnitrixter]

I blanked out, okay?! Someone put me on the spot, and my brain just froze! Now I'm stuck with it!

[stalksindarkness]

You can call yourself whatever you want. Aren't your aliens named too?

[big_blue_boyscout]

What was that last part?

[No, you weren't getting that past him.]

[omnitrixter]

[Oh no. D:]

I...um...kinda misjudged how much time I had left in alien form.

I made it out before the watch timed out!

[big_blue_boyscout]

[He shakes his head.]

You need to be more careful. With your powers on that kind of time limit, one mistake could cost you.

[It's said more out of concern than any admonishment. Ben's young, and he'll learn things in time.]

[She's clearly in her room, probably studying. Actually yes, she's studying magic books thanks to Shadow's little trick, but that's beside the point. Ben almost killed himself and she's a bit annoyed. The face he sees is one of frustrated annoyance.]

Seriously?

Video

[omnitrixter]

[Oh crap! Act cool! It'll never happen.]

Seriously that the base wasn't there? Oh yeah. Totally not there. Just rocks.

Re: Video

[thesmartone]

Seriously that you almost got yourself killed.

[She puts down a book written in some weird language.]
