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

[omnitrixter]

Right. Sorry.

[And Grey Matter is racing as low to the ground as he can get, trying to run away from the strange beings in the sky.]

We need to cut off any escape routes. Including underground. Grey Matter's hands aren't good for digging, but they're not bad at it either.

[thesmartone]

I can do that.

[She throws a mana wall on either end of the street, blocking off Grey Matter's escape routes.]

[omnitrixter]

[Grey Matter looks around at the magenta barriers as Ben jumps down from the mana platform. The little alien darts away as Ben tries to reach for him with his watch hand.]

Gotcha!

[He manages to grab onto the little creature after leaping after it. He grins to himself in victory.]

Okay, now how to get you back in the--Ow!

[Being on the receiving end of Grey Matter's bite? Not fun! On reflex, Ben drops the little alien and clutches at his injured hand.]

[thesmartone]

BEN!

[She releases the mana platform she's on and drops to the ground by him.]

Are you alright?

[omnitrixter]

He bit me! [He's examining his hand as Grey Matter resumes trying to work out an exit.] Owww...I never realized how hard that little guy could bite!

[thesmartone]

That's it.

[She throws four mana walls around Grey matter, linking them like a box and starts pulling them inward.]

[omnitrixter]

[The Galvan looks around desperately, crouching down low.]

He's probably gonna try to jump over one of the--Oh, come on. Now what are you doing?

[The last part is said to the watch which is glowing yellow.]

[thesmartone]

[She keeps her focus on moving the mana walls.]

[omnitrixter]

[Huh. The watch did this when it scanned Gwen. He holds out the watch to Grey Matter.]

[A yellow light shoots free from the Omnitrix, sweeping over Grey Matter, and the little alien disappears. The watch returns to its usual green.]

[thesmartone]

[She lets all the mana walls drop.]

Well that was easy.

[omnitrixter]

I have a bad feeling Grey Matter's gonna be our easiest one tonight. Especially with Jetray and XLR8 running loose.

[thesmartone]

What do they do?

[omnitrixter]

Both of them can break the sound barrier. Plus Jetray can fly.

[He looks down at the hologram of Grey Matter.]

We might be able to use Grey Matter to help figure out how to slow them down, but it's gonna be a major pain.

[thesmartone]

Can you transform into him now?

1/2

[omnitrixter]

I'll give it a shot. Hopefully we won't lose him again.

[Though first he's gonna remove that weird timer thing you spelled.]

2/2

[omnitrixter]

[Not hard to dial in when you've only got one alien. And the watch gives him exactly what he's after.]

Well, "tada" I guess.

[thesmartone]

[Her brows go up.]

Where's the next closest?

[omnitrixter]

[Ben has to stretch to reach the symbol on his back. It brings up the map again, projecting it out--somehow--in front of him.]

Approximately six hundred yards north-northeast of our current position. Judging by the current velocity, it isn't either XLR8 or Jetray, and it's still too slow to be Wildmutt, Big Chill, or Heatblast. Obviously excluding Grey Matter, it could be Upgrade, Diamondhead, Echo Echo, or--

[He's cut off as the dot suddenly picks up speed.]
