A Journey In Time
Melody and Ben were relaxing and enjoying each other when unexpectedly there was a bright light. They both shielded their eyes when all of the sudden they were face to face with Professor Paradox!
"Professor Paradox?! What are you doing here!?" Ben said, happy and yet concerned because the Professor looked nervous.
"Melody! Ben! You both must come with me. There is no time to waste!"
"Why? What's wrong, professor?!" Melody asked, putting down her lemonade.
"It's the future! I have gone to the future to ensure that everything was alright but everything is going wrong! You and Ben are about to go to war with Vilgax but he has a trick up his sleeve and he is going to murder you and Ben's future selves!" the professor said, almost in a scream. Both Ben and Melody stared at him in shock.
"Hold on…so my future self and Melody's future self are about to be murdered by Vilgax?" Ben said, trying to follow what the professor said.
"Yes! He has a bomb under your hall's chamber. He said that he wanted to do a peace treaty with you both, but he has a bomb planted under the floor of the peace chamber! We must leave at once and stop him or else the future is doomed!" Professor Paradox panicked. Ben then grabbed his shoulders, albeit gently.
"Professor! Don't worry! We will stop him! Melody? You up for some time travel?" Ben smirked at his fiancée.
"As always…let's rock n roll!" She cheered as she changed into her Vladat half. The professor nodded and then all of them were then swept away into a large bright ball. A few moments later, they were in the future! The buildings, people, and even the food looked very, very strange.
"Whoa…this is weird…," Ben commented as they walked through the streets. "Alright professor, where is the peace chamber?"
"Right this way. But be careful. Vilgax has spies everywhere!" He replied. And once he said those words, Vilgax's henchmen came out of nowhere and started firing their guns.
"See! I told you!" The professor yelled as he ducked for cover. Ben and Melody charged and fought off the men as best as they could, but they were outnumbered. Ben was about to press his Omnitrix, when he was suddenly knocked out cold.
"BEN!" Melody screamed. She flew over to help him when she felt something grab her roughly. She spun around and screamed, for she was face to face with Vilgax himself.
"Well, well…Melody…I should have known you would have come to spoil things. And looks like you have brought the human fool along as well…," Vilgax sneered.
"Don't you dare talk about Ben that way, you monster!" Melody spat out bravely. She then tried to spit out a corruptura at him, but his armor prevented him from being affected. She growled in anger and tried to pull herself out of his grasp, but he was unmovable.
"Leaving so soon? Now we can't have that. I'm already about to destroy your future selves, but why not spare my past self the trouble and destroy you both as well. If I destroy you now, there will not BE a future Melody and Ben Tennyson!" He spat at her evilly. Meanwhile, Ben was just awakening when he saw Melody struggling in Vilgax's grip.
"VILGAX! RELEASE HER!" Ben roared as he then pressed the Omnitrix and turned into Four Arms. The two titans clashed and Vilgax seemed to be getting the upper hand until Melody realized their terrible mistake!
"Ben! He's being a distraction! The bomb is still planted! We have to find it!" Melody screamed. Ben's eyes widened in shock, but then narrowed in anger. Now it all made sense! Vilgax was never known to pick a fight unless it was for his benefit and destroying their future selves was definitely a benefit for him!
"Melody! GO! STOP THE BOMB!" Ben yelled as he punched Vilgax and sent the tyrant threw a wall. Melody nodded and flew off in the direction of the chamber with Professor Paradox.
"Melody! We must hurry! The bomb is scheduled to go off in exactly 15 minutes!"
"We will make it professor! We just have to hurry! I-OW!" Melody screamed. At that moment, she was shot in the shoulder by one of Vilgax's henchmen. She kept flying and she was about to faint, but the professor caught her.
"Steady Melody…we are almost there…hold on…"
"I'm fine professor! Just a little winded…we have to keep going!" She responded, trying to sound strong. They burst into the chamber and the future Melody and Ben looked at them in shock.
"Melody?! Is that you?!" Future Ben gasped.
"I think it is…but what am I doing here from the past?!"
"Everyone get out! There's a bomb in here that was planted by Vilgax! He's trying to kill us all!" Melody shouted. The entire room fled and in less than two minutes, the chamber went up in smoke. Future Ben and Future Melody were so happy they made it, but then they saw Melody was wounded.
"Melody! Hurry! Get her some help!" Future Ben called out.
"No! Someone needs to help Ben! He's alone out there fighting Vilgax!" Melody pleaded. Future Ben nodded and changed into Way Big. He then went to help his past self. Both Melodys flew after him and saw that Ben was almost at the end of his rope. This Vilgax was much harder than the past one and he thought he was about to die. Future Ben (in Way Big form) arrived just in time.
"LET HIM BE VILGAX! YOUR BATTLE IS WITH ME!" Way Big boomed. Way Big then began to strike and throw blows at Vilgax and his men. After a long, grueling hour of battle, Vilgax and his men retreated.
"This is not over Tennyson! Either way I will bring you down to your knees!" He yelled as they all disappeared. Future Ben (still in Way Big form) gently picked up Ben. The Omnitrix timed out so Ben changed back from Four Arms to regular Ben. He was injured, but still alive. He slowly opened his eyes when he felt something gently rub his head. He looked up and saw Way Big looking down at him. He screamed and tried to jump out of his hand.
"Whoa! Hey! Ben, slow down!" Way Big chuckled a he kept catching him in his hand. Ben was still struggling until Way Big pinned him down and gently wiggled his finger in his stomach.
"NO! NOHOHOHO! Melody! The giant's got me!"
"Benjamin Tennyson…stop struggling or I will continue…," Way Big grinned. Ben stopped immediately and saw that Way Big also had an Omnitrix and it was timing out. He then was face to face with his future self.
"What?!" Ben said in shock.
"C'mon…not many people know your stomach is your weakest spot. So naturally I would know. Now c'mon let's get you cleaned up," Future Ben smiled and helped Ben to his feet. Once Melody and Ben were bandaged up, they said a tearful goodbye to their future selves and returned with Professor Paradox to their regular timeline.
"You both should give each other a pat on the back…not only are you heroes now, but you also are heroes in the future too," The professor smiled as he too disappeared. Ben and Melody stared at each other in shock for a moment and then laughed.
"I guess it's never a dull moment with us," Melody laughed as she pat Ben on the back.
"Forget the pats. I have another reward for you…," Ben smirked as he grabbed her and kissed her on the mouth. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.
