Chapter 6

Call of the red princess pt 2

Okay, here we go with chapter 6. But first, on to the reviews.

Darkrai19: You'll just have to see how that goes.

Crofty666: Well Four Arms was already able to beat Looma in canon.

christopherhayden: Thanks.

jasongd: Thank you.

oghren: I am trying to improve.

duskrider: That's a good one to try out later.

Awareness Bringer: Okay, so the big things from your reviews are the Servantis retcon, which was stupid and will not factor and the SDM, which Ben found by tinkering and was able to disengage since it wasn't locked in and he remembered it thanks to his photographic memory.

Guest: Here you go.

Okay guys... Let's kick it up.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Within his lab on top of a tower on the uncharted planet, the shadow clawed scientist was looking at a computer monitor watching the view of his creature doing a fly over in its Omniviratious form.

"Where are you, Omnitrix?" The clawed alien asked in a disturbing tone. "I wish to test the genius, and I use the turm loosly, of your creater against my own." He said as he comanded the creature to fly lower in search of Ben and what he thought was the Omnitrix, thankfully missing the covered entrance to the cave where Ben and company wer held up.

(With Ben and the others)

"So, you are the Tetramand princess who went missing several weeks ago." Tetrax said, summing up Looma's explaination. "Your father is offering up quite the bounty for your safe return to him." He said.

"A bounty I would be more than pleased to ensure ro receive in return for one thing." Looma said as Kevin raised a brow.

"And that would be?" Kevin asked the Tetramand.

"I request that you help me to free that creature before we leave this planet." Looma said, gaining confused looks from both Kevin and Tetrax.

"Of course we'll help." Ben said as his comrades looked at him in equal confusion.

"When that thing on its neck starting glowing, it started to roar. I could tell two things from those roares. One, it was in pain and two, it's not the one in the drivers seat." He explained.

"That's right." Looma confirmed before going on to explain the full details. "As your friend informed you, I have been missing for several weeks. The reason why is because I was ambushed and captured by a mutated Cerebrocrustacean scientist named 'dr. Phychobos.' His goal was to have a test subect to face his new invention he calls the 'Nemetrix'." Looma explained.

"Someone's got some Omnitrix envy." Kevin noted.

"Precisely. Phychobos want's to prove that his device is better than the Omnitrix." Looma explained.

"So, how is he controlling it?" Ben asked.

"Have you seen the other device? The one on the creatures ear?" Looma asked getting a nod from Ben. "Phychobos uses that to moniter what th creature sees and to control it." She explained as she clenched her upper right fist at the last part. "It's disgracful. Rather than teach the creature to aid him out of loyalty, he controls it with some device." She said before she began squeezing all of her hands together.

Ben was copletly with the Tetramand princess on this one before something dawned on him.

"Looma, do you know where Phychobos is?" He asked, a plan already forming in his head.

"I do. I was able to break my way in to the lower levels to get the parts I needed for my transmitter. But every time I would even consider capitolising on breaking in the creature would get to close and I'd have to retreat." Looma explained.

"You think you can get us in there?" Ben asked, getting a nod from Looma. "Good. Then I have an idea." He said.

"Is it a good idea?" Kevin asked.

"Don't know. I'll tell you when we're done." Ben said as he looked at the Ultimatrix.

(Meanwhile back at the lab)

"Where are you!" Phychobos shouted, getting furious at the fact that he was unable to find wielder of the 'Omnitrix'.

"We've searched half this planet, metephorichly speaking, and we haven't found the Omnitrix." He said through gritted teeth before taking a deep breath.

"No matter. With the sheild I put around the planet will keep the Omntrix bearer from leaving. Finding them shall only be a matter off..." He was saying before his tower began to rumble before an extreamly loud noise.

(Down at the bottom level of the tower)

The group stepped out of cone of Petrosapion crystals that he created by taking the form of his Petrosapion form, Diamondhead.

"Something that loud will have undoubidly got the atention of the good doctor." Tetrax said.

"How long until our little friend gets back here?" Kevin asked as suddenly, the head of a creature that looked like something akin to a red T-Rex busted through the wall.

"About thiry seconds." Diamond haid said as the entire group adopted a defensive stance.

"Just like we planned. Let's go." Tetrax said as Diamondhead and Looma rushed the creature and tackled it out the wall as Kevin and Tetrax rushed upstairs.

Diamondhead and Looma continued to grapple on the creature as it fell. As they landed, Diamondhead punched in to the ground as crystals began growing around the creature's tail.

"Alright! Grab the com and hold it down!" Diamondhead called as Looma jumped up, knocking the communication device off, destroying it and then held the creature by the head, insuring the Nemetrix was facing out as. "Okay. Here goes nothing." Diamondhead as he hit the symbol on his chest.

(With Tetrax and Kevin)

"Dammit. I've lost the signal." Phychobos said as both Kevin and Tetrax busted in, both having shifted their hands in to blades.

"It's over Phychobos. Claws where we can see them!" Tetrax said as Phychobos raised up his claws in what seemed to be surrender when suddenly, his head opened up and his brain began shooting lightning as Kevin and Tetrax as they shifted their arms in to shields, giving the mad scientist to activate a series of turrets on the wall.

"We're pinned down." Tetrax said as he lowered his free hand to create a wall of crystal for them to take cover behind.

"Come on, Ben. Hurry up." Kevin muttered when suddenly, the Nemitrix creature busted through the wall in its Worm form with Looma a winded Ben riding on its back. "Good timing, bro. I take it your plan worked." Kevin said as Looma and Ben jumped down.

"Yeah. But I'm... gonna need... a lot more practice... with Ultimates." Ben said between several tired breaths.

(Flashback)

"Okay. Here goes. Diamondhead said as he hit the symbol on his chest and in a green light, took the minuscule form of Greymatter. He then took a deep breath before hitting the symbol on his back and was transformed in to a creature that was mostly a head that had small limbs attached, three eyes, the matrix symbol on its forehead, and was floating in a hover device. This was Ultimate Greymatter.

"I hope this works." Looma said as she continued to restrain the creature.

"So do I." Ultimate Greymatter said as he let out a a pulse of mental energy to subdue the creature before approaching it as metal tendrils came out of his hover apparatus before they began tinkering with the Nemetrix. "Ah there's the problem. Don't worry. Just a few minor adjustments and... There!" He said before using another mental pulse to wake the creature.

"Did it work?" Looma asked.

"We'll soon see." Ultimate Greymatter said before transforming back in to Ben and fell to one knee while grabbing his chest as Looma leaned next to him in concern. "I put some commands in her mind. Hopefully everything will be okay." He said before looking up at the creature and saying "Slamworm." as the creature transformed.

(End flashback)

Ben could only smirk as Slamworm tore apart the lab, to the ire of Phychobos.

"Insolent creature. I shall show you what happens when I am defied!" The Cerebrocrustation shouted as he attempted to blast the creature.

"Quick, Cataclone!" Ben shouted as the creature shifted in to a creature resembling a Sabertooth Tiger, ducking under the bolt as Ben dialed in the Ultimatrix.

"Wait!" Tetrax said as Ben stopped on an alien. "That form can absorb and redirect energy." He said as Ben smirked and pressed down and became an alien that has to growths on the back of its head that along with his fingers, had electrical nodes on the end. He then jumped over the wall as Phychobos tried to blast Cataclone only for her to split in to two and the blast to hit the new form of Ben as he fired back at double the power, knocking the mad doctor out.

"Not bad. I think I'll call this one... Feedback." Ben said with a grin before transforming back to normal and looking at Cataclone. "Come here, girl. Let's see what you really look like."

Ben said as Cataclone began to glow and shrink.

"It... it's just a..." Kevin began.

"An Alien puppy." Ben finished as the small, red eyed, navy blue canine. Jumped in to his arms. "Aww. Who's a good girl?" Ben asked before he scratched the puppy's chin as Looma watched with a smile.

(A few hours later)

After everything had been cleaned up with Phychobos, Tetrax contacted the government on the Tetramand home world of Khoros to inform them of what happened and Looma's father, Gar Red Wind arrived shortly after to retrieve the princess.

"Your services are greatly appreciated, bounty hunter. You will receive both the reward for finding my daughter and the bounty they have for Phychobos on Encephalonus IV." Far said as he shook Tetrax's hand.

"Thank you for your help Ben. You are quite the honorable warrior." Looma said with a smile.

"Aw. It was nothing." Ben said, barely hiding the blush the girl's compliments gave him. "Oh. I almost forgot." He said before scanning Looma before a hologram of a Tetramand appeared on the Ultimatrix. "Glad to have this one back on the options." He said with a grin that Looma found adorable as she handed Ben a small metal chip with writing on it.

"The code to my private communicator. Contact me any time." Looma said before leaning down slightly so her face was next to his. "Good battle, Ben." She said before kissing his cheek before she and her father entered their ship and took off for home, leaving Ben speechless and his as red as Looma's normally was.

"Way to go, man. Getting attention from alien princess. Not too shabby." Kevin said as he elbowed Ben in the arm.

"Y-Yeah." Ben said as he watched the ship fly away. "Uh. We better get going." He said as he turned to the alien dog. "Come on, Zed." He said as the dog jumped in to his arms.

"Zed?" Kevin asked with a raised brow.

"I named her. She's mine. I'm keeping her." Ben said, gaining a shrug from Kevin as the two of them and Tetrax got on their boards to head back to the ship and continue the journey back to Earth.

Well, there you go guys. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Next time will most likely be Ben meeting a certain other alien princess and the sister of a long time foe. Until then and as always... Keep on keeping on.
