Chapter 1-Rassling with Relish

The day started out normally for the Tennysons; they headed out on their summer-long trip in the rust bucket. Ben and Gwen had just finished eating breakfast (surprisingly it wasn't any of Max's gross food this time) and were sitting together as they watched their grandfather drive the RV. It had been four days since Ben had first encountered and Max had run into Vilgax after so many years. The kids now knew that their grandfather was an intergalactic policeman and that he used to fight off Aliens before he retired. They weren't sure what to think of him now but it did explain how he knew Ben was a type of Alien when he first turned into Heatblast, why he was afraid whenever Ben had visions of Vilgax, and why he wanted to get to Mount Rushmore (which apparently was a plumber base) before Vilgax found them.

After Ben had defeated the Octopus-headed alien, he told Max that they need to talk but the old plumber insisted they waited until they all fully recovered both physically and mentally from the battle with Vilgax before promising to tell his grandkids the truth.

He was stalling and the kids knew it. Max wasn't sure how the kids would take it considering he never told anyone else in his family, but it was a lot to take in and he wanted to make sure they were ready for the truth. He looked at the cousins in the rearview mirror and quickly looked back to the road when he saw them looking at him.

The Omnitrix wielder leaned closer to his cousin and whispered, "He's stalling."

"I know that, doofus," said Gwen.

"Well, I can't wait any longer. I want him to tell us everything," replied Ben.

"Cut him some slack, dweeb; this can't be easy for him," argued Gwen.

"So what pukeface?! All this time he's been keeping a big secret from us, and now it's time for him to come clean!" said Ben.

"Are you kids doing ok back there?' asked Max.

"That depends, are you doing ok up there?!" asked Ben a bit rudely which made Gwen elbow him. The old plumber sighed as he finally decided to stop stalling and confess. "So, I guess you're waiting for me to tell you about me being a plumber," said Max. "Yes! Finally, you'll tell us why you've lied to your whole family for years!" exclaimed Ben. Grandpa Max looked down a bit in guilt which made Gwen elbow her cousin again.

"You don't have to tell us if you don't want to grandpa. We understand that you had a good reason for keeping your past a secret from your family and that you were trying to keep us safe," said Gwen, trying to comfort Max.

"No, Ben's right. You guys deserve to know the truth about me after facing Vilgax, especially you Ben, now that we know Vilgax was the one trying to steal your watch this whole time," Max admitted to his grandkids.

"Hah! In your face, loser!" taunted Ben to his cousin which made her glare at him.

Max ignored Ben's taunting and kept his eyes on the road as he continued to drive. "Well kids, the plumbers are..." Max began before a loud noise interrupted him. The Tennysons looked through the windshield and saw three smoke clouds coming from a local town that was miles away in the distance. "What's going on?!" asked Gwen. As if on cue, the radio turned on and the sound of people panicking, rumbling noises, and gunshots filled their ears. "Please help! Call the police! The Army! The Navy! Just someone help us! Our town is being destroyed by a giant red monster!" said one guy who was probably a reporter. Ben quickly got up and looked at his cousin and grandfather who were looking at him. The Alien Hero nodded as he stepped out of the rust bucket and touched his watch. He pressed the button on the Omnitrix and slammed it down, turning him into a giant, red, bald alien with four muscular arms.

"Guess we'll have to wait till I get back before you tell us about the plumbers!" said Four Arms while Max nodded in agreement "We'll meet you there," Four Arms then started jumping toward the town in a hurry to save it. When he got there, he saw lots of damaged buildings, fire in some places, and smashed things everywhere, but no casualties. "Where's the red giant that was attacking the town?! Did he take off?!" thought Ben.

Suddenly he heard a loud stomping noise from behind him. He quickly turned around and saw a bulky, bald, red creature with pointy ears, no hair, no irises, and no shirt. He also had a black circle on his chest and a red star in the center of that circle. When the red beast stopped in front of Fourarms, it smirked as it said, "So you've finally arrived! We meet at last; I've waited a long time for this!"

"Look buddy, I don't know who you are but if you're looking for a fight then you're making a huge mistake challenging me!" warned Ben. "You don't know who you're messing with!"

"I know enough, Ben Tennyson!" said the demon.

"How do you know my name?! Who are you anyway?!" asked Ben.

"Forgive me, I am known by many names but for now you can call me Relish!" the Makyan introduced himself.

"Relish? As in the sauce?" asked the confused hero.

"Precisely, but it's not my name that you should worry about!" said Relish as he took a fighting position. "It's whether I'm stronger than you or not!"

The Makyan suddenly dashed at Four Arms and nailed him in the face with a hard punch. The four armed brawler was sent flying and landed a few feet away on his back. Before Ben could recover from the first attack, Relish grabbed his ankle and tossed him into the nearest building. Relish then fired two ki blasts at his opponent, which exploded when they hit Ben. When the smoke cleared, Fourarms was seen with his arms covering his face; his arms were singed from the blasts. The alien hero lowered his arms and glared at the Makyan, who was smirking.

"Not bad Tennyson, but you'll have to do better than that if you want to win!" said Relish.

Four Arms immediately got up and charged at his foe intending to hit him with a double face punch to Relish's face. The Demon simply sidestepped the attack and countered with a punch to his gut. Four Arms winced in pain, allowing Relish to kick him into the air. He then phased above him and bashed him into tue ground. Relish descended to the ground and waited for Four Arms to climb out of the crater made by his crash landing. When he finally did, Relish began laughing mockingly.

"Is this the best the wielder of the Omnitrix can do?! You are clearly not worthy of its magnificent power if this is how you treasure it!" mocked Relish.

"He even knows about the Omnitrix; just who is this guy?!" thought Ben as he faced his opponent. He then cracked his knuckles and took a wide stance as he said, "Ok then, let's wrestle!"

Four Arms smashed the ground with his fists, creating a small earthquake, but Relish jumped into the air to avoid it. Acting quick, Ben jumped into the air and punched Relish in the face. He then proceeded to attack by rapidly punching the Makyan. Relish then grabbed one of Four Arms' wrists and tossed him toward the ground. Four Arms quickly landed on his feet in time to see Relish charging at him. The Demon threw a fist at Ben, which he grabbed and countered by throwing a punch of his own that Relish grabbed. The two giants pushed against each other as they tried to overpower each other in strength.

"You may be strong, but you're not very smart!" grunted Four Arms.

"How dare you! I am a member of the most intelligent race in the universe!" argued Relish.

"Oh yeah?! Well if you're so smart you should have known that challenging me to a battle of strength was a mistake!" said Four Arms as he pushed harder.

"Oh?! And what would that be?!" asked Relish as he pushed back.

"You've got two arms while I've got four!" said Four Arms as he uppercut Relish in the chin with one of his extra arms, forcing the demon to let go and ending the struggle. Four Arms then punched his opponent's face, sending him skidding across the ground. Before Relish could recover, Four Arms grabbed his leg and slammed him on the ground multiple times before tossing him away. Relish grabbed the floor as he skidded until he stopped, only to be kicked by a surprise assault from Four Arms into a building. Ben then grabbed Relish and tossed him into the air; acting quick, Relish stopped himself in mid-air and stayed there which surprised Ben a little.

"Whoa! So you can fly, huh?! But can you take this?!" asked Four Arms as he picked up two chunks of rubble and tossed them at Relish. The Makyan smashed both rocks before he was suddenly punched in the gut by Four Arms' double fist. Four Arms then clamped all four hands together and knocked Relish into the ground; before he could get up, Relish was stomped on the chest by Four Arms.

Four Arms then backed away from the downed Demon and said, "You see? We may be equal in strength but I've got four arms, so I'm twice as strong! So as long as you've only got two arms or I've got four arms, you're outmatched punk!"

The Makyan took his time getting back up, but when he did, his appearance had changed dramatically. Instead of a giant red demon, Relish looked like a small red dwarf: his muscles had deflated, making him look incredibly scrawny, and his eyes now had irises. "Huh? Must've hit ya harder than I thought. You've completely turned into a puny munchkin! You can't expect to beat me like that!" taunted Four Arms. Relish didn't reply, he only smirked before his face grew serious and his tiny body started channeling energy. In a matter of seconds, Relish's body soon returned to its original gigantic form. Four Arms was a little taken back by this but still held his confidence.

"So you got big again! But it doesn't matter, I already told you that as long as I have four arms and you have two, you've got no chance of beating me!" said Ben.

Once again, the Makyan showed no sign of intimidation. He only smirked and said, "Watch this." His body started to expand while channeling energy again. The two joints on his back started to expand, which freaked out Four Arms. "What the heck are you doing?!"

The two stumps on his back eventually grew into two extra arms. His body finally calmed down as he flexed his extra arms. Four Arms was so shocked at this achievement that his body began trembling. "H-How'd you do that?" asked Ben. "It's called the four witches technique! I've practiced this technique for weeks but could never master it, at least, not until I got this new body!" explained Relish as he smirked evilly. He then cracked his new hands before he said, "Now, let's see who better at fighting with four arms, Ben Tennyson!"

Relish then charged at Four Arms, who didn't react quick enough and was nailed by a punch to the face from the four armed Makyan. Recovering quickly, Four Arms elbow bashed Relish in the chest, then the Demon countered by kicking Four Arms' gut. Four Arms then countered by skull bashing Relish's face. Four Arms then started rapidly punching Relish, but he blocked every punch before grabbing all four of his hands. The two brutes pushed against each other once again in an attempt to out brute each other.

"Hah! Even with your extra arms, it's still not enough to beat me!" said Four Arms.

"We may be equal in brute strength but there's still some skill I possess that you don't!" said Relish.

"Oh? What's that?!" asked Ben.

"This!" said Relish as he suddenly hoisted Four Arms and himself into the air. The two giants ascended high into the sky until Relish ended their struggle by kicking Four Arms in the stomach. He then grabbed Ben and placed him into a strangle hold. "Looks like this fight is over Ben. I guess I truly was the stronger one!" said Relish as he started to strangle Ben. Using what little strength he had left, Four Arms struggled to free himself. He eventually started to elbow bash Relish in the stomach multiple times, forcing him to let go. "Argh! You'll pay for that! said Relish as he knocked Four Arms into the earth.

The wielder of the Omnitrix laid on the ground while Relish channeled ki into his four hands. "Take this brat! Double Full Power Energy Balls!" cried Relish as he fired two big ki blasts from all four hands. The blasts collided with Four Arms before he could get away; the explosion consumed the alien hero and created a large crater in the ground. At this time, Max and Gwen Tennyson had just arrived at the scene in the rust bucket. When they stepped out of the RV and looked into the crater, they were horrified by what they saw. Four Arms laid there, beaten and unconscious. Half his shirt was torn off, revealing his bruised right ab. His left pant leg stopped just above his knee instead of his ankle. His arms were covered with cuts and bruises and his right eyes were swollen.

"BEN!" cried the two Tennysons. Relish suddenly landed in the crater and smirked as he stared at the state of his beaten foe. "I have to admit, you were an interesting challenge Ben Tennyson, but in your heart, you should've known it would end like this!" said Relish.

"Come on Ben, get up!" urged Grandpa Max worriedly.

"Quit messing around, dweeb, and beat this guy already!" ordered Gwen as she looked at her cousin in fear.

Relish ignored the humans and grabbed Four Arms by the throat and lifted him up. "It's time to end this! I'm going to crush the life out of you and take your Omnitrix as my trophy!" taunted Relish as he tightened his grip around Ben's neck. "Let him go, freak!" cried Gwen as she suddenly jumped up and kicked Relish in the head. She winced as she grasped her leg in pain while Relish continued to crush Fourarms' throat. Grandpa Max then pointed a plumber ray at the Makyan and shouted, "LET HIM GO RIGHT NOW!" as he fired at him.

The blast hit Relish right in the back; it only stung a bit, but it was still enough to get his attention. The Denon turned to glance at the Tennysons, then focused his ki into his hand before waving at the Tennysons and creating small ki wave that blew them away. "Stay out of this, pathetic humans!" said Relish as the Tennysons laid on the ground.

Four Arms suddenly woke up and punched Relish in the face, forcing him to release him. Four Arms continued his assault with a punch to Relish's stomach. He skull bashed the Makyan in the face before rapidly punching him. Four Arms then tossed Relish into a building before nailing him with a super hard punch that caused the build to collapse on him. Four Arms started breathing heavily before he remembered his family.

"Grandpa, Gwen! Are you guys okay?!" asked Ben when he went to check on his family. His family got up and looked at Four Arms. "We're fine, sport," replied Grandpa Max. "Yeah! It's yourself you should be worried about! I've never seen you look this bad before, not even against those bounty hunters or even Vilgax! You look like a total doofus!" said Gwen. Fourarms smirked at his cousin and said, "You're definitely ok if you can still insult me, rat face!"

Just then, Relish's fist shot out of the pile of rubble. His palm suddenly opened and created an explosion that blew away the rubble, revealing the whole body of Relish. The Makyan had lost his extra arms, his right pant leg was torn, his left arm had blood sliding down it from the few cuts on it, and his chest had some bruises on it. When the Tennysons noticed the red demon, Four Arms immediately stepped in front of Gwen and Max. "Stay back, guys! I'm the one he wants, so let me handle this!" said Ben.

"Do you think you can beat him?! He almost killed you Ben!" said Gwen.

"Don't know, but I have to try!" said Ben.

"I don't like this, but we won't interfere! Just be careful Ben!" warned Max.

"Sure thing Grandpa," assured Ben.

The two Tennysons ran off as they watched Four Arms charged at Relish without fear. Relish just spread and yelled, "HERE YOU GO; A NICE BELLY BLAST!" as he fired a red circular blast at Four Arms, which sent him flying and crashing onto his back, the impact of which rendered him unconscious. "BEN!" called the Tennysons from their hiding spot. They watched helplessly as Relish slowly approached the beaten Four Arms. When he was right in front of his fallen foe, he smirked as he leveled his right hand at Four Arms' chest.

"It seems I am victorious. Which means it's time for me to claim my prize and be on my way," said Relish as he focused ki into his right palm. "Goodbye, Ben Tennyson!"

Before he could he could fire the blast however, the red star on his chest started glowing yellow while beeping. Relish looked down at his chest before withdrawing his hand and turning away from Four Arms. Before he left, the Makyan glanced back at the Omnitrix wielder and growled, "Consider yourself lucky, you get to live for a while longer! But don't get too comfy, cause this isn't the end, it's only the beginning! One day you will lose that device attached to you and I hope to be the one to take it from you!"

Relish then flew off into the sky until he could no longer be seen by human eyes. The Tennysons ran up to Ben to see if he was alright. When they got to him, Four Arms regained consciousness and slowly sat up. "We told you to be careful, doofus!" said Gwen. "I was being careful!" argued Ben as he got in Gwen's face. Gwen just glared at him before giving him a big hug, which surprised Ben but he soon got over it and hugged her back. Grandpa Max joined in as he said, "Just promise to be more careful next time!" said Max. "No promises!" joked Ben. The three then looked up at the sky. "What was that all about?" asked Ben.

'Guess we need to be more careful," suggested Gwen.

"Yeah. I have a feeling that won't be the last time we run into Relish," said Ben.

"Which means more training for you, young man! You need to be ready in case Relish attacks again," said Max.

"Awww man!" replied Ben, seconds before the Omnitrix timed out and he changed back to himself. His injuries were automatically healed and he was full of energy again. He looked up to the skies one last time while his family got back in the rust bucket. He clenched his fist as he was filled with new determination and thought, "We'll meet again Relish, and when we do, I'll be the one who's looking down at your beaten state! Count on it!"

"Come on Ben! We'd better hit the road before the authorities show up!" said Max.

"Move your butt and let's go, doofus!" said Gwen.

"Alright, I'm coming you guys!" said Ben as he entered the RV.

Meanwhile elsewhere...

Relish had just landed in an unknown location. He stepped into what appeared to be a covert laboratory. Seconds after he entered, he was consumed by a bright gold light and his body shrank to a smaller form with long hair. He sat down in his chair in front of a large screen. He pressed a button on a keyboard and the screen showed a video of the fight between Four Arms and Relish. The being that was once Relish watched the battle of the two giants, observing every aspect of the fight to the end.

"Although you lost the battle, I'd say you passed the test of strength, Ben Tennyson," he said. "Thanks to you, I know exactly how to adapt to this alien's abilities. Once I have the Omnitrix, learning how to use its powers should be a snap."

He pressed another button on the keyboard and the screen changed to multiple videos of Ben's aliens doing heroic deeds. He pressed another button and the screen changed to a video of XLR8 battling a sort of alien cyborg. The video then changed to one of XLR8 fighting some sort of sorceror, and then to one of XLR8 saving people from a giant sea creature.

"This universe has so much to offer, I'll enjoy every minute I spend here learning about it all. And I think this alien will be the next one I face. I've got the perfect speedster too. Beware, Ben Tennyson, once I've seen how your aliens fare in strength, speed, skill, adaptability, and power, I will defeat you and take your Omnitrix! Then no one will be able to stop me from getting my revenge and ruling both universes!" said the former Relish as he glanced at a glowing blue device on his wrist before he laughed maniacally.

1-Makyan: Relish

A/N: Alright! It has begun! In case some of you are wondering, Relish is a Makyan that looks similar to Giant Garlic Jr. except that he's red since I like red and black. Now to move on to the next chapter, who will Ben have to face in the speed test? Find out next time on The Zenotrix!
