The Hunter and the Hunted Part 2

(Bellwood, USA. Plumber HQ. November 2nd, 10:34)

"Yes, Mr. Yamamoto. We are doing everything we can to find your daughter. Don't worry." Max said on the phone as he sighed a bit as Rook pounded his fist at this.

"Ugh...this is not good..." Rook sighed as he began to look for something. "Lucy said that she was jumped by Orianus...This was not in the plan at all..."

"Plan? What plan?" Asked Max, confused as Rook gave a sigh as he looked at Max.

"Ben and I had a plan to lure out the creature...I have to guess the handler had an alliance with that lowlife, Orianus, or else Julie would not be in this danger." Rook sighed as he says, "And likely destroyed Julie's badge so we can't track her...even if she was with Ben."

"Don't beat yourself up. Look, whatever you two planned, you can just adapt. Not everything is gonna be like a practice drill. You got to learn to think outside the box, not go with the usual idea." Max said as Rook sighed...as he thought it over.

"Not go with the usual...hmm..." Rook said as he says, "Ben did not seem all that concerned when I destroyed the plumbers badge he gave me..why is that?" He noticed the look as he adds, "All part of the plan."

"Ben doesn't need a plumbers badge. His Omnitrix works as one." Max explained...making the two go wide eyed in realization as Rook snapped his fingers.

"That is it! We can hunt Ben down by tracking the signal in the Omnitrix, and maybe even find a signal similar to Ship's com system in Julie's helmet." Rook said as he looked through as he nods. "Found it! He's in the woods north of Bellwood, near the valley area. I shall go there now." Rook said as Max watched him go.

"You want back up?" asked Max as Rook shook his head as he got the Proto-Tool ready to go.

"Do not worry; I am all the back up they'll need." Rook said as Max nods, smirking a bit as he looked at the screen.

(Khyber's Ship. November 2nd, 10:45)

Julie groaned as she saw she was hung upside down, not in her armor anymore as she grunts a bit next to Ben. 'good thing I am wearing shorts...' she thought to herself as she glared at Khyber, who had Ship in a containment orb as he was growling a bit in annoyance as Skurd was relaxing near it, the dog gnawing at the bone while Khyber was working on sharpening his knife.

"So, is this when you are gonna tell me your whole 'take over the universe' scheme? Cause I bet you're dying for it." Ben said as Khyber only chuckled a bit as he walked over to him calmly.

"I am not. The hunting trophies, the hunting equipment...Its self explanatory really. I am the ultimate Hunter. And you...are the ultimate prey." Khyber said as he got his knife ready, making Ben cringe as he got ready for it...only to see he had slashed a hole in his jacket and took the '10' out of it'.

"Okay, first your pyromaniac sidekick burns up my hoodie and now you're ripping his jacket? Do you guys have something against coats?" Julie asked with a glare as Khyber only gave her a frown.

"This souvenir is only a taste...I am thinking of mounting your mate's arm on my wall...hmm..." Khyber looked at it and nods. "Yes, I shall put it right over...here!" He then threw it into a near-by wall, slashing into a skeleton of a member of Rath's species, making the two gulp a bit nervously.

"So...what is exactly is the end game here? I mean, punks like you been trying to steal it for years. Sunder, for example, even my Omnitrix arm removed for a bit. I even destroyed the prototype when Vilgax got it." Ben said as Khyber only chuckled as Orianus looked at them with a smirk.

"If you are stalling for your Ravanagander friend to show up, you are wasting time. We saw your tiff in Undertown, so it seems that you two are at a disadvantage. Your only back up was this girl and her pet...since your cousin and her Osmosian mate left you alone. You should treat your partners better, boy."

"You mean like you? I don't just make my friends do all my fights for me." Ben said with a scowl as he looked at the growling dog. "I mean, Fido there has to be the mastermind here."

"'Fido', as you like to call him, is an Anubian Baskerr. It is a very loyal breed of hunting beast." Khyber said, petting the creature as Ben looked at the collar around it's neck.

"With an Omnitrix-ripoff around it's neck. Though...now that I Get a good look at it...it diffently looks like that thing Phil had on when we saw him again." Ben said as Khyber nods.

"Indeed...you see, we got this from an old friend of yours; Malware." Khyber said, making Ben go wide eyed as Julie and Ship shared a confused look.

'This guy knows Malware?' Julie thought, surprised as Orianus smirked at this.

"Yeah. Apparently he was able to get some schematics for it from what the boss said...and they used some chump from the Null Void to attack you." said Orianus as Khyber nods as he pets the dog-like alien.

"But first, they needed DNA. So they had a certain good-looking mound of plasma and this hunter here to collect it." Skurd said as he shrugs as Julie's eyes narrowed at this.

"I remember you; you're that green snotball that attached itself to that dinosaur thing on Terradino." Julie said...as she realized something. "You're powers are absorbing DNA!"

"Indeed. I can absorb and transfer it to other life forms. Of course I need access to it, and my single cell, plasma-based form allows me to go into the electrolytes in the DNA strands of a being and mimic the DNA." Skurd explained as Ben frowned.

"So that's how he is able to use the powers too? You've absorbed them and copied them." Ben said as Skurd only shrugged, not answering directly.

"In any case...we spent time studying you, Tennyson...and while you have been protecting this planet, I have been studying you and making sure I knew what to expect. " said Khyber as Ben gave a raised eyebrow.

"That's why it took you 5 years? Cause it only took Vilgax 5 minutes. Some hunter you turned out to be." Ben said as Khyber growled in anger as he got his knife close to his face, making his eyes shrink a bit.

"I shall collect that smart tongue, boy!" Khyber growled..but he turned around, unaware he had his knife within reach as Ben smirked as he began to cut the ropes a bit. "But...killing you now would make me lose my bargaining chip."

"Yeah...about that. I think you need to meet..." Ben said as he had his hands free and slammed down on the Omnitrix...as he roared out, "RATH!" as he became his Appolexian form. Skurd did a double take at his form, looking very surprised.

"GOOD GRACIOUS MAN!" Skurd said as he covered his eyes with his antennas "Have you no shame!?"

Rath just ignored him as he says, "Let me tell you something, self-proclaimed greatest hunter in the galaxy! Rath is gonna make you wish you were never born!" Rath then cut Julie loose as she nods. "Get Ship out of that..bubble ting. Rath has got this fight in the bag!"

"Okay." Julie said as she reached into her pocket and got out a familiar hilt as she activated it. "Good thing I always kept this with me" She said as she ran to get Ship with her Contemilia sword in hand as Orianus powered up, while Skurd jumped onto Khyber, but the dog growled in anger.

"Oh, so Puppy wants to fight? GO TIME!" Rath roared as he jumped as the Dog turned into the Arburian Tunnel Hunter. "Let me tell you something Arburi-Arbuan-I'll just call you Silktrip, I'm gonna take you out!" The newly dub Silktrip roared as it jumped at him, but Rath grabbed at it's head and threw it aside.

Orianus glared as he fired out a blast of fire at Julie, but she dodged it by rolling to the side and throwing the sword at Ship's containment orb, shattering it as Ship jumped up and turned into a large cannon and fired, hitting Orianus and sending him into Silktrip, making them both groan a bit as Rath roared out.

"Let me tell you something,Ship Yamamoto! Rath does not like his fights interrupted!" Rath growled as Khyber ran at him with Crabdozer's claw, making Rath yell out as he growled in annoyance. Rath slashed at him with his claws, which cut the Crabdozer helmet Skurd made, making Khyber roar out as the two began to tussle, causing the two to go around the ship and crashing into various things.

Orianus got up with a groan as he glared at Julie, who had her sword ready as Ship gave him a growl. Orianus glared as he powered up a blast of fiery energy before seeing Khyber had Rath pinned down, panting a bit as his armor was slightly damaged as Rath growled, a cut on his cheek from the of the blows.

"What are you-do...ING...ugh..." Rath groaned as he was nerve pinched as Khyber smirked. Rath groaned as he powered down as Julie went wide eyed.

"Ben!" Julie said, but Orianus fired a blast from his hands as he got in front of her, as Ship went over her to protect her from the flames.

"Hephaestan Neuro grip, it is useful for dealing with all manner of prey." Khyber said as Skurd powered down as Khyber got his knife out. "I believe I should bring you to my partners in pieces." He got ready when the knife was blasted out of his hand.

"I do not think so." said Rook as he walked up, making Khyber and Orianus look shocked as Julie and Ship looked equally surprised as Ben only smirked as he got up. "Khyber, Orianus, Skurd. You are all under arrest."

"What? How the heck are you here? I destroyed the girl's badge!" said Orianus in annoyance as Khyber frowned.

"And I saw you destroy his." Khyber said as Ben chuckled as he shows off the Omnitrix.

"Yeah...fun fact; the Omnitrix also acts as one too. Been that way since I joined the Plumbers." Ben smirked as the two glared at this, annoyed. "Rook and I played that out earlier. Good acting job there, partner."

"I was not acting though. I do think you need to be more careful and, I will admit, I was too harsh earlier. I do apologize for that. I knew you didn't mean what you said, but I do think I went too far." Rook said as Ben only looked a tad annoyed, but nodded.

"But...this isn't a save though, just saying that now." Ben said as Skurd rubbed his 'chin'. Julie looked at it oddly, since he was actually contemplating the situation.

"Technically...it IS a rescue." Skurd pointed out as Ben gave him a flat look, a scowl on his face.

"You stay out of this, snot-boy." Ben said as Skurd only did a 'raspberry' sound at this as Khyber growled at this. "And same to you, Skull-face."

"That is no way to speak to the greatest huntsman in the galaxy." Khyber growled as Ben got ready just in case anything happened.

"Dude, you're not the best hunter in the room. Don't you see a set up when it's obvious?" Ben asked as Khyber nods to Orianus, who glared as Skurd was about to jump, but suddenly a pod was fired at him, making him yell out as he was in a egg-shaped object.

"Hm...impressive." said Khyber as he glared at Rook as he sent out a whistle, as Crabdozer barraged forward at Ben, who dodged as Orianus fired at Julie, as Ship went over while Rook ran at Khyber.

"Ben, do not turn into Heatblast! It hunts for Pyronites!" Rook said as he sent a fist at Khyber, who blocked it as he kicked him, making the rookie Plumber go back as Ben slammed down on the Omnitrix, turning into...

"Armordrillo? Alright!" Said the giant mole-like being as he ran at Crabdozer and smashed through a wall, making the two roll down to the side.

Orianus grunts as he fired at Julie, who dodged in Speed Form as she sent out the discs at him, making him yell out at each hit as he glared. "Please, I already kicked your sorry butt already, kid. What makes you think you'll beat me this time?"

"Any athlete loses...but as coach always said, you need to think on your feet and figure out what you did wrong." Julie said as Orianus saw the Crabdozer turn into Slamworm to bite into Armordrillo's arm.

Khyber then threw a smoke bomb down as he ran off as Orianus ran at Julie, who blocked him. "Julie!" said Rook in shock as Julie grunts at the heat.

"Go! I'll keep hothead busy! Get the whistle away from Khyber! Trust me, Ben can handle some dog with a fancy collar." said Julie as she dodged a punch from him.

"Okay, I'll try to change into Humongasaur." Armordrillo said in the feedback as Rook nods, heading to the front.

(Downstairs...)

Armordrillo dodged as he turned into Stinkfly, who grunts in annoyance as he says, "Ah great...well, at least I can dodge the freaky worm in the air." He then flew up and went to stick it into the arm, making the creature roar out nee pain before a whistle is heard throughout the ship, making it turn into Buglizard, who hissed at him.

At the Bridge, overlooking this, Khyber smirked as he says, "That's it old boy..." Rook then blew the door open, glaring at this. "The new boy wishes to fight the hunter, yes?"

"Indeed. Lets see how well you can take me." Rook said as he fired his Proto Tool, as Khyber growled in anger. Khyber ran at him, grunting as he got out his knife and slashed at Rook, who activated his energy sword to parry it and got into a stance.

"What is that stance?" asked Khyber, curious as Rook some breaths to calm his nerve, as he nods as he glared at this.

"Revonnah Kai. It is the art of my people, especially in my village. I was taught by Master Maku Kundo, who taught me many techniques from it." Rook said as he got into the stance as he turned his Proto-Tool into something akin to a bo staff. "Time for me to show you what I do when I do not hold back."

"Oh, so you hold back now, do you? A warrior should never hold back!" said Khyber as he tossed the chair by him as Rook's foot had a faint glow to it, giving off a faintly blue aura.

"Wind Sickle!" Rook said as he kicked it, smashing it with the kick with ease as he ran forward. "Stone Cutter!" He then slammed the punch, giving off a faintly blue aura, sending Khyber back a bit as he grunts.

"Impressive..." said Khyber with a nod. "A kick that moves fast and strikes like a sword made out of the wind...and a punch that shatters stone. Luckily my armor is made to harder minerals. Of course, I doubt even a normal rock wouldn't have fallen from that."

"I am still learning the full art." Rook said with a scowl, getting the staff at the ready. The two clashed for a bit, unaware of the sounds below deck.

Julie yelled out as she was thrown into he shell of a large turtle-like beast, groaning a bit as Orianus chuckled a bit, his hands glowing with blue fire. "Ha, you think you can just win automatically cause you got a second wind? Please. I'm the one who kicked your butt earlier. Wanna know why? It takes more than brains to take me out! I've been fighting for years!"

Julie groaned a bit as she glared at this, but then noticed some pipes around and realized something. "Yeah...you're tough, I know that...but I learned one thing from the Plumbers is this..." Orianus just chuckled as she turned Ship into the Default armor form.

"What's that?" Orianus as Julie smirked as she pointed her blaster up over his head.

"Where to find a cooling system on a space ship." Julie said as she fired, blasting a pipe over his head. Suddenly a bunch of cooling liquid for keeping the engines cool from overheating hit him head on, making him yell out as Julie then ran at him, sending a punch to his face, making the cooled down Pyronite hit a wall, groaning a bit.

"Oh, bravo." said Skurd in sarcasm while being stuck in the orb they put him in, but Julie just picked him up and he was absorbed into Ship in a small chamber on her arm as she went off to find Khyber and Rook.

Back on the Bridge, Khyber then heard an alarm as he growled, "The TCS is damaged...the engines are gonna over heat." He growled as he punched Rook, sending him back a bit. "You have versatile skills, but you lack power."

"But versatility has uses." Rook said as he sent out a polo line to wrap up Khyber's legs, making him yell out as he got shocked, with Julie arriving at this time as Rook ran to the wheel of the ship.

(Outside)

Ben yelled out, in his Crashhopper form, against the Mucilator as he groaned a bit. The creature brought him to the top, snarling at him before the ship began to tilt, making Ben yell out but used the wings that came with the insectoid form to grab something as he turned back to normal.

"Rook, what's going on?" asked Ben, confused as there was sounds of struggling in the background of the device.

"I am commandeering the vehicle, but the engine's cooling agent is damaged. The Engine are sure to over-heat." Rook explained on his end of the communicator.

"Sorry! I had to think of something to take out that hotheaded nut job!" Julie said in a defensive tone, as Ben groaned at this.

"Commandeer something later, Captain Rook! Find the whistle!" Ben said as he got back up as the Mucilator growled down at him, as Ben signed a bit.

"Honestly Omnitrix, I give up...surprise me." Ben said as he turned it on and slammed down, as a bright glow came onto the area as a thunderous roar is heard.

Down below deck, Rook looked up as Julie smirked as, on the screen before them, was something gigantic, easily equal to size to the gray beast before him.

On top of the ship, standing at a surprising 12'11 feet tall, was a towering beast of an alien that looked like a large, humanoid Dinosaur with dark brown plated armor covering his forehead, his arms, legs and most of hi back except for a beige spot on his torso, neck and underarm area, with spiked areas around his forehead to make it look like a thick brow of sorts and a long tail that was about the length of a charter bus. He wore a simple black and white outfit consisting of finger-less gloves, a pair of shorts with the Omnitrix insignia around his torso in a sort of harness-like device around his chest with glowing yellow-green eyes, roaring out..."HUMUNGOUSAUR!"

Humungousaur roared out as he says, "FINALLY!" He growled at the giant gray beast as he ran forward, sending a powerful punch his way. "Who's the predator now, ya mutt!" He then picked him up, ready to toss

(below deck)

"Where is the whistle?" Rook asked, as he and Julie looked over the downed Khyber, unaware he reached over for a near-by gun and kicked them away, making them yell out as he fired a goo-blast gun at them. HE looked at the video and whistled.

"He's the whistle..." Julie said in concern as she and Rook watched as the mutt turned into something else...making Julie's eyes widen in horror. "The Decasauran Rex..."

(Where Ben was fighting...)

Humungousaur looked in shock as he saw it turned into the 40 foot monster, growling down at the smaller alien as he gave a sheepish smile before he gave in under the weight as he says, "Ah great...that thing is huge!"

"Can't Vaxuarians grow bigger as well?" Rook asked as Ben cringed a bit at that, knowing he was right.

"Yeah..but the muscle strain is crazy. But I guess I better grow if I want to keep up with this thing. But that was advice, not a save. Difference." Humungousaur said as Julie just groaned.

"LET IT GO!" Julie yelled in annoyance as Humungousaur took some breaths before he began to growl, growing in size as his body began to become more armor-esque all over him and his knuckles grew out spikes, and a crest began to grow on his chest, as well as horns on his head as his back gained spikes. He roared, now a few feet bigger as the two dinosaurs began to fight it out, crashing around on top of the ship, causing it to lose balance.

Khyber growled as he was trying to regain control of his ship as he says, "I may loose my ship...but I will not lose...my prey. Bag the game, old friend." He then sent out a whistle command, making the monster roar out.

"Wanna piece of me, Tyrannopede? Humungousaur growled at this as the monstrous beast, dubbed 'Tyrannopede' now, spat out a thick webbing-like substance, making him yell out as he was being constricted in it, as the creature then tackled him, knocking him down as he clawed at him, making a few scratch marks on his face as Humungousaur kicked him, but that got sprayed as well as his chest got hit by the monstrous beast's tail, roaring out in pain.

The creature fully covered the 60-foot giant in webbing, roaring out as it went for the head area and snapped it's jaws. "BEN!" Julie and Rook yelled out in horror at the screen, as Ship gave off a screech of shock at this...

Only to see that the head area was empty, confusing the monster as Ben had hid his way back into the webbing. "Don't worry guys, I was lucky it timed out when it did...but now I need to knock down big ugly there..." Ben said as the giant creature started tearing apart the web to look for him. "Come on, give me something good!" He slammed down, turning into a crab-like alien, similar to Psychobos in appearance but with a dark brown shell and yellow-green eyes and two long, crab-like claws with a black and white belt wrapped around his torso with the Omnitrix insignia on it.

"Brainstorm? Hmm...a heroic alien with a crustacean-like appearance against a brutish beast that has distinctive attributes of an insect and prehistoric bird-esque reptile. Hmm...must plan this accordingly..." Brainstorm looked around, taking into account of everything around him. 'The beast stands at 40'05, weighs approximately 670 metric tons of muscle. This webbing is made to withstand high amounts of pressure, and to knock something this big and heavy must involve a grip...the grip he used on me! Okay...with that height compared to Rath's, I believe I can approximate the exact point of impact in which the nerves that the grip has the best effect on based on it and...' He nods as his head opened up, revealing a brain that had the electroshock came out of his head.

The giant of a monster heard something and turned, going wide eyed as it saw the blast heading towards the beast, roaring out as it got shocked while Brainstorm moved quickly. Khyber saw this an smirked as he was about to whistle,but got a face full of slime. "Nice one." Julie said as ship was currently trying to get them unstuck with a low-power laser, but was having trouble. Khyber than ran at them, grabbing Rook as he glared at him, angry to say the least.

The crab-like alien landed on the alien's back as Brainstorm says, "Desist, you over-grown canid-like abomination! This shall have to do, have at thee!" Brainstorm said as he wrapped the giant's mouth with the webbing before pinching it's neck, making it pass out. Brainstorm chuckled at this, amused. "Hepheasten Neuro Grip, a procedure that is capable to subdue or otherwise incapacitate any form of game or other forms of targets for a expedition." He yelled out as the ship began to teder downward. "Oh dear...I must make haste to get my comrades out of this predicament. Omnitrix, shall we rescue them?" He pressed down on it, creating a shortwave of icy energy.

Standing in Brainstorm's spot was a familiar moth-like alien. "Big Chill? This should work out fine." He then phased downward, going to the bridge before freezing Khyber. "Hmm...if I am counting that, that is twice I've saved you, Rook...and 4 for Julie."

"At least I don't make a habit out of getting myself kidnapped like a lot of super hero girlfriends in the comics." Julie pointed out at this, annoyed. "Besides, the first one doesn't count. That was Ship and he needed our help."

"Fine, fine. But still, I saved you." Big Chill as he grabbed the slime and concentrated, making the icy energy go onto it as it was shattered. "Julie, where's Orianus?"

"Back at the Bridge. But I doubt we got time to get him. BUT I did get someone. That should do for now." Julie said as Big Chill nods, blasting the floor with an icy breath before shattering it with a fist. He then picked up Rook as the two flew out, Julie flying after them on Ship.

The three watched as the ship crash landed as Julie says, "Hopeful that's the last we'll see of those three..."

"But in all, this should prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Ben Tennyson can take care of himself-" Before Big Chill could finish, his Omnitrix insignia began to beep, making him give off a deadpan look. "I really do hate this thing sometimes..." Before the two were bathed in red light, making Ben and Rook yell out before Julie flew under them, Ship turning into his spaceship form for the three to land in, with Skurd still in the pod as he yelled out.

"Ugh...I think I shall be sick..." Skurd groaned as he glared at Julie. "AND did you have to move me around like a toy after you stuck me to your pet!? It was nauseating!"

"Oh shut up." Julie said flatly as she pressed a button on the device, muting the yelling ball of green protoplasm as Rook was giving Ben an amused smirk at the situation as Ben only glared.

"Not...one...word." Ben warned as Rook only smirked a bit as he leaned against a chair, chuckling a bit.

"How about two? 'Told you.'" Rook said, giving him an teasing smirk. The two teens looked at Rook in surprise before they all began to share a laugh, relaxing a bit after the highly tense situation they had just experienced as Skurd only looked confused at the fact they were laughing, but couldn't say anything due to being muted.

(At the Crash site...)

Khyber groaned, the ice saving him as he ripped the webbing off of his pet's armor, making it whimper a bit as the Nemetrix began to spark a bit, turning it back to normal, showing it had sustained damage from the fall as Orianus groaned as he got up.

"Sorry boss man..." The fiery villain sad with a cringe as Khyber only looked at the two with a nod.

"Fret not...Ben Tennyson shall pay dearly for this." Khyber said as a robotic chuckle is heard, making the three turn to see a 9 foot, feral-looking dragon-like beast with a single red glowing eye,gargoyle wings that appear to be made from an old jet pack, and a stylized hand-like cannon on the right arm and the left hand appearing reptilian with spikes coming from it's back that appear to be red metal.

"For your sake, you should be lucky." the beast said with a growl, glaring down at them with his eye narrowed. "Your mutt's Nemetrix is damaged. Come. We shall go back to Psychobos to repair it." He motions them along as Khyber to up, as did Orianus as Khyber carried his pet with him. "Where is Skurd?"

"He was...captured by Tennyson and his friends." Orianus said as Malware only nods, showing little concern for their ally.

"He is now a liability...we shall deal with him later." Malware growled as he walked ahead, the three following him as he looked to where Ship was going, frowning a bit as he says, "Soon Tennyson...our reunion will be coming sooner than you think." Malware said with a dark chuckle, making Orianus cringe a bit at the robotic tone the laugh gave, giving off a soulless, merciless tone to the frightening machine.

End of Season 1
