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.]

Comments

[thesmartone]

Do you have one that goes that fast?

[Because she's betting on it actually being that fast.]

[omnitrixter]

Two of them: XLR8 and Jetray. Both of them can break the sound barrier, too.

[He gives Gwen a worried look.] You really think it's them running loose?

[thesmartone]

[She bites her bottom lip, frowning.]

It makes sense.

[omnitrixter]

Ugh. [Ben runs his hands down his face.] This is gonna be one of those nights; I can already tell.

[The watch gives another beep that sounds somehow huffy.]

Oh shut up.

[He turns his attention back to Gwen.]

If it really is them, it's going to be a pain to get them rounded up. After that, I have no idea what to do.

[thesmartone]

[She frowns, knowing this is all her fault for trying to do a spell when she's not that experienced.]

I can help with my powers.

[omnitrixter]

Here's hoping that they don't trigger more weirdness.

[He puts his hand on the chestplate.]

Until we get some of my aliens back, I'm gonna have to use the Lyssa System this thing came with. Ugh, I really don't wanna.

[thesmartone]

The what? Wait, where did you get that outfit?

[Now that she knows it's Ben she wants to know where he got it from. After all, his looks super high tech and she knows he can't afford that sort of thing on his allowance.]

[omnitrixter]

G-Lucky Girl, right now ten aliens with my powers are out there running amok. Can we deal with that first before we get into where I got the suit from?

[thesmartone]

Not if you're going to use something on it.

[omnitrixter]

It's a temporary booster. I checked it out as Grey Matter. As long as I don't use it constantly I should be fine.

Right now, we need to catch up if my aliens are running around, and let's face it: Without them, I'm powerless and won't have any other way to help you round them up.

[thesmartone]

She frowns heavily, thinking. "Alright." But she still didn't trust it.

[omnitrixter]

[Yay at least that's resolved. For now. Ugh.]

[However he looks at the GPS again.]

If I'm reading this right, one of the blips is two streets over.

[thesmartone]

Right.

[She throws a few mana steps in front of them.]

Let's go.

[omnitrixter]

[He starts to run on the stairs, glancing at the GPS every so often. A thought occurs to him as he looks back at Gwen.]

If those really are my alien forms, does that mean they're copies of me? Wouldn't you be able to also track them?

[thesmartone]

[She frowns, following and throwing more steps along the way.]

I could try.

[omnitrixter]

[He glances at the GPS.]

Well, at least the watch has got them locked in. Not sure what meeting my twin...twins?...will be like.

[It's kind of a creepy thought.]

Hold up. We should be right on top of one of them.

[thesmartone]

[She readies a mana net to catch it.]

Where?

[omnitrixter]

Literally right beneath us.

[Ben looks down over the edge of one of the mana steps but no alien in sight.]

[thesmartone]

I don't see anything.

[She's looking too.]

[omnitrixter]

[Ben crouches down, gripping the mana step to lean forward more, eyes narrowed.]

Can you shine a light down there? I think we're looking for something small.

[thesmartone]

[he's lucky she has a utility belt now. She pulls out a flashlight and clicks it on, still keeping hold of her mana net with one hand.]

[omnitrixter]

[A small creature immediately hops away, going as fast as it can. The green jumpsuit should give it away.]

Grey Matter. Figures the one I dialed in would be the closest.

[He drops down, landing in a crouch.]

[thesmartone]

[She drops the net - which Grey Matter manages to get out of.]

Hey, I've seen that guy at the plumber base.

[Well, not him exactly, but others of his species.]

[omnitrixter]

Not likely. I've never been to--

[Ben freezes and looks back at her.]

There's a whole base?!

[Somebody, put him back on track...]

[thesmartone]

Focus Ben.

[She can tell him all about the plumber base after they get his aliens back.]
