Near Jupiter...

A battle between two ships was taking place. One ship was green and blue and looked like a predator drone with two blades on either side of its wings. It was being attacked by a much larger vessel, one that looked like a faded maroon tuning fork with glowing orange spheres at the aft section and along the keel.

The large ship fired bolts of red plasma at the smaller vessel. In response, the green ship charged two cannons and fired twin streams of green plasma. That seemed to cut the ship up a bit, but failed to stop the attackers.

Inside the tuning fork ship...

"Hull damage at twenty percent, weapons systems still operational." An orange and black humanoid robot said. He spoke to his master, an alien with green skin, red eyes, a tentacle beard, and wore black armor with red accents along the joints.

"I have come to far to be denied." The alien said. "The omnitrix shall be mine," He said, hands in a position that seemed like he was trying to crush something. "and there is not a being in the galaxy that dares to stand in my way!" He closed his fist and slammed it down on the armrest of his throne.

On a US highway...

An old beat up replica GMC motorhome drove down the road. Its license plate number was S81Z1M. The RV was pulling a trailer that had a motorcycle on the back of it.

There were four people inside it, a woman in her mid thirties who had black hair and blue eyes and wore a tan vest and green scrubs. The second was a fifteen and a half year old japanese girl with brown eyes and black hair with pink accents she wore a tank top that had a pixelated robot on it, a yellow belt, a pair of jean short shorts, indigo and magenta leggings and black knee high boots with pink straps. She sat across from an orange haired twelve and three quarters year old boy who wore orange rimmed glasses, an orange sweater vest, a yellow dress shirt underneath it, a pair of jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. In the passenger's seat, a black haired sixteen and a half year old boy wearing a white long sleeve shirt with a greyish brown short sleeve shirt over it, a pair of slightly loose blue jeans, and dark blue and white tennis shoes sat next to the woman who was driving, reading a graphic novel called Kamen Rider Spirits.

"Hey Mrs D, thanks for letting us come on this trip with you and Jack." The girl said.

"Your welcome Miko. Normally this is something Jack and I do with his grandpa and two of his cousins, but seeing as they're busy this summer, why not take you two with us?"

"But why are we taking Arcee with us?" The boy questioned. "If we need the 'bots, we could just give them a call."

"Well think about it like this Raf; If the 'cons attack you while you're in an area with no cellphone reception, would you like to be with Bumblebee?"

"I guess so." He answered.

"Good." She looked up to see that the exit for Yosemite national park was coming up. "Hey Miko, could you wake up Arcee and tell her that we're almost there?"

"Sure thing." She got up from the table and walked to the back of the camper, passing a refrigerator, a bathroom with a shower across from a closet, and then made her way into a bedroom where there were two bunkbeds that had sheets on them. Miko saw a human woman that had dark blue, almost black hair, a dark blue leather jacket, a pink undershirt, black jeans, black boots, and a tattoo on the right side of her neck that was of a symbol that looks like a mechanical facel. Her skin was tanned and she wasn't poorly made either, having a 34C sized bust and an equally well sized rump as well. She even had a bit of muscle which was seen in her lower torso, but that added to her physical beauty that to many would be enough but to some, like me and the focus of this story would just serve as a compliment to this female's personality.

"Hey Arcee." Miko said as she shook the woman's head.

"*Yawning*What is it Miko?" She groggily asked, eyes partially opened to show their light blue irises.

"Jack's mom told me to tell you that we're almost there." She said. "Hey, you look different by the way."

"I changed my holoform so that it would look a bit more normal. Because would a leather clad woman wearing a motorcycle helmet turn as many heads as this?" She said, standing up. She saw that Miko was going to answer that and couldn't stop her from saying something.

"Well, it'll turn heads, but for a different reason. Arcee, I might not be a lesbian, but if you were somebody that I didn't know as well, I'd become at the very least bi-curious because of you, maybe full out bisexual. Or would it be xeno-bisexual seeing as you're an alien?"

"I don't know, but as long as you stay away from Jack, then I'm okay." Arcee said, speaking about her partner.

The human girl and the cybertronian femme using a holoform walked to the front of the camper to find that June was driving up to the entrance to the camp ground.

"Oh, Arcee, you're up." The woman who was driving said, smiling as she glanced over her shoulder. "Hey when we get to the campsite, which before you say anything, I made sure was in a place where we wouldn't get any visitors, would you mind getting some fire wood?"

"Sure thing June." Arcee said.

"Great, Jack, I'll need you to set up the fire pit, Raf, you try to set up the little shelter I got for Arcee's alt mode, and Miko, you can get some of the stuff that we need out of the storage compartments, you know, chairs, table. It'll start the prep for tonight's dinner."

"What are we going to be having Mrs Darby?" Raf questioned.

"Just a little something that my dad taught me how to make."

Jack realized what this meant and got a sick looking expression on his face. His grandpa from his mom's side cooked up some very strange meals, but sometimes he made food that humans could stomach.

Back in space...

The smaller blue and green ship was being torn apart by the larger vessel pursuing it. A well placed plasma bolt destroyed the ships engines.

"Their propulsion systems have been destroyed." A four eyed drone said. The blue ship had sent a distress signal to the only one within transmitting distance who could help.

"Prepare to board." The leader said. "I want the Omnitrix now!"

The green ship fired a very powerful blast of green energy at the victorious ship's bridge. In retaliation, the damaged ship fired its center cannon and destroyed the smaller ship, leaving only the front section intact.

It launched a silver object that opened up to reveal a sphere that looked like a metal roly poly bug.

Later, on Earth...

Jack had just recently gotten the fire pit clear of debris and was just waiting for Arcee to get the firewood so that he could light a fire to start working it down to embers so that his mom could cook on it.

He looked around to see that Raf was getting the cover for Arcee up pretty easily, despite his height.

"Mom, what was that?" Jack asked as he saw something fall from the sky. It seemed to crash land somewhere nearby.

"I don't know." June replied, but she knew her son was curious. She went over to Miko and grabbed her wrist. "If you're done setting up the fire pit, you can go check on it. But Miko, you stay here."

"Aww! I wanna go find a meteorite."

"You need to finish getting the chairs out, and maybe help Raf get Arcee's little 'tent' set up."

"Fine. By the way, where is she?" Miko said, her ponytails drooping down.

"Where's who?" Arcee asked. She came back carrying a large sack of logs that she had over her shoulder. "Oh me, I was just getting the firewood June told me to get." She tossed the axe she used into the ground. "Where's Jack going?" She asked.

"He went to go check on a meteorite that just crashed." Raf answered.

"Oh, you want me to go with him?" Arcee asked.

"Nope, he can handle it himself." June said, getting back to prepping the food she and the kids would be eating later. "Arcee, could you break some of that wood into kindling?"

"Okay."

At the meteor crash site...

Jack walked up to where the meteorite landed. Its path seemed like a dried up riverbed. He approached where the path ended and found what crash landed. There was a metal sphere.

"It that one of the Iacon relics?" Jack asked himself out loud. "Maybe I should take it to Arcee so that we can get it before the 'cons do." Jack hopped down the crater. When he was a yard away, the pod opened and revealed its contents; a watch that was green with a black stripe in the middle of the strap, and had a dial that was grey around the rim was fifty percent black and had the other half was what appeared to be a black piece of glass that was in an hourglass pattern. There was a knob on either side of the dial, perpendicular to the strap and hour glass shape."What's a human sized watch doing in a cybertronian pod?" Jack asked. "Or maybe this isn't Cybertronian, what if some other aliens made this?"

Jack took two steps forward and reached out to grab the watch. The watch, as if acting as if it were alive, scanned the surroundings in the span of a tenth of a second and then jumped onto Jack's wrist and in a way similar to gluing itself on became stuck, and no amount of shaking would get it off. The hourglass shaped glass turned blue.

"Get off! Get off! Get off!" Jack shouted, trying to pull the watch off. He accidentally pressed down the knobs that caused a hologram of a being that was a magma-based lifeform whose body seemed composed of a bright magma body covered by rocks.

"Cool. Or is cool not the right term?" Jack was curious as to what this could do. "You know what, I wonder what would happen if I pressed this dow?"

Starting from Jack's left wrist, dark red rocks grew, covering his skin until his entire body was covered. He got taller by a few feet. His feet became more oval shaped with two toes in the front and one in the back. His head became similar in shape to Iron Man and had what resembled lines leaving the eye holes that may or may not be tear ducts.

"Heatblast!" Jack shouted, for some reason. (In Ben 10 Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, it was never explained why Ben did that.) "Whoa. I'm on fire." Jack said, taking a mental note on how his voice change. "Wait, I'm on fire! Ah! Ah! Ah! Somebody help me!" He panicked, he laid on the ground and rolled back and forth, stopping when he realized he wasn't being hurt. "Okay Jack, just keep it cool, metaphorically speaking. Just head back to the campsite and Arcee will contact Ratchet so that he can fix me. Yeah, that'll work." Jack retraced his steps and headed back.

"But if Doc bot's gonna take this off, what's the harm in having a little bit of fun?" Heatblast said as he jumped down a dry river bed. He held out his hand splayed open and a ball of fire materialized. He considered using trees for target practice, but that would be what Miko would do. "Don't wanna start a forest fire." He then flung it at a small boulder, melting it. "Sweet." Jack said as he saw what happened. He then Climbed out of the river bed, grabbing a fallen tree to do so, but it burst into flames. Thankfully, the flames did not spread and extinguished themselves rather quickly. "Okay, note to self, don't touch anything but the ground."

Later at the campsite...

"I wonder where Jack went off to?" Raf asked. He took a bite out of the food that June made. "Wow, Mrs Darby, this stuff's really good, what is is?"

"It's my own creation, hamburger meat with a seasoning made using several spices that I'm not at liberty to tell you." June said with a smile.

"I don't know, but wherever he is, I just hope he's okay." Arcee added. "And can I try some of that?" She asked.

"Um, 'cee, you 'bots can't have human food." Miko said.

"And who told you that?" She asked, bringing up something that is rarely brought up in any transformers series. Besides that fact that they're robots, why don't they eat what humans eat?

"Um, you know what, nobody told us that, I just figured since we can't eat energon, you guys can't eat what we eat. Isn't that right?"

"Well, yes and no. We can consume what organic lifeforms can eat, but it's not very efficient in powering ourselves, it'd be like one of you trying to live off of flavored water. No nutritional value but it tastes good." Arcee explained. Two side notes: There's really nothing that says cybertronians can't eat human food, and what Arcee meant by flavored water refers to just adding the flavor to it, not the drink mix that adds the flavor and has some other stuff. And in some continuities they can taste.

"Well, if it's okay for you to eat, here you go." June handed Arcee a plate of the meat with the secret spice.

Arcee used a salad fork to scoop up a bunch of it. "Mmm! This is pretty good!" Arcee explained.

"You think so? Ah gee, you're making me blush." June said.

"Hey Mrs D..." Miko said suddenly with fear in her voice.

"Yes Miko?"

"About those spices, was one of them LSD?"

"No. Wait, why are you asking?"

"Oh no reason, just that there's a monster made out of fire that's walking towards us!"

"Miko, if you're trying to sneak seconds before Jack even gets here, it won't work."

"Miko, there's nothing like that on earth." Raf said. "Oh scrap!" He said after turning his head the direction Miko was facing. "It's a monster!"

"What you kids are just trying to... by the allspark!" Arcee saw the creature to. "Get back you freak!" The autobot femme said. She deployed her blaster and pointed it at the 'monster', she then fired at it, causing it pain and sending it back.

"Ow!" The creature groaned. "What was that for?!"

"Get away from these humans! Arcee fired at it again, causing it more pain.

"Arcee stop! Please! It's me Jack! We're partners! Remember?!" It said while it shielded itself from the blasts.

Arcee flashed back to her conversation with Jack and her after she chased off Airachnid.

"I'm sorry you had to face my demons today Jack." Arcee said, feeling both angered that her arch nemesis got away and relieved that Jack was okay.

"Actually, I was terrified, mostly for you." Jack said rather calmly for someone who was almost killed by a maleficent look alike.

Arcee smiled before touching two of her fingers to her helmet.

"Ratchet, requesting ground bridge." Arcee said. She saw Jack swat at a mosquito that landed on his shirt. "Need to get my partner far away from any oversized insects."

"Partner, huh?" Jack said rather smugly and with a smirk.

"Junior partner, I can still pull rank."

Arcee then snapped out of her flashback. She looked at the fire creature who claimed to be Jack. She then asked him something only two other people would know. "Jack, remember what I said about being partners?"

"Yeah, I'm your junior partner." Heatblast said.

"Yeah, sorry about attacking you." She approached Heatblast, reaching out her hand to help him up.

"Don't touch me." He said. Arcee looked at him with a shocked expression. "What? If you touch me I'll accidentally melt your hand off."

"Oh." Arcee's face changed to a neutral expression.

"So, now that that's over, can I get something to eat?"

"Sure." June said, getting a plate of her cooking ready for Jack.

Later...

"So you're telling me that a watch turned you into this monster?" Miko asked. Raf tossed Heatblast a marsh mallow.

"Pretty much." Jack said. He caught the treat, roasting it in his hand before eating it.

"Miko, he's not a monster," June said. "He's an alien." June got some strange looks. "I mean, look at him."

"Think he'll stay like this forever?" Raf asked, concerned for his friend.

"I don't wanna be Heatblast forever. How am I supposed to go back to school in a few months if I turn the whole place into a pile of charcoal the moment I open the door?" Jack moaned.

"Don't worry Jack." Arcee reassured her partner. "We'll help you figure this thing out."

A beeping sound was heard and in a flash of red light, Jack was in place of Heatblast.

"Whoa!" Miko exclaimed. "Can I have a go?"

"Miko." June looked at her with a bit of concern.

"What? I just wanna turn into an alien! Preferably one of the 'bots."

"Miko, we don't know how that thing works." Raf said.

"And besides, I tried taking it off." Jack added, trying to pull it off. "It's on my wrist permanently."

"Well, if you're stuck with it, you might as well learn how to use it." Arcee said.

"Jack, you said that you found it in the meteor, right?"

"Yeah, it landed about a mile that way." Jack said while pointing in the direction of Heatblast's foot prints.

"Okay. I'll go and check out the crash site, you three stay here. Arcee, you're in charge." June said, walking over to the camper and grabbing a flashlight.

"Got it."

Back in the aftermath of the space battle...

In the red illuminated command bridge, the ship's captain, though I hardly doubt that's his actual rank, was in something that was akin to a bacta tank in Star Wars. He was really torn up, only his head was fully intact and that had a breathing mask on. He had most of his right arm and part of his right thigh, but for the most part, he was suffering from wounds that would make Megatron's post Darkness Rising Part 5 damage seem like a paper cut.

"What do you mean it's not there?" The captain rasped. "This battle nearly cost me my life. And you have the audacity to tell me that the Omnitrix is no longer on board the transport?!" He hissed at one of his drones.

The drone tried to ease his master's anger by trying to give what his processor labeled as 'good' news. "Sensors indicate that a probe was jettisoned from the transport just prior to transport. It landed on the nearest inhabited planet."

The captain turned his head to face a robot with red optics and an H R Giger Alien style head. "Go, bring it to me."

Back in Earth...

"So Jack, while your mom's gone, can I at least look and see what else is on that watch thingy?" Miko asked.

"Sure, just try not to transform me into anything." He pressed to two buttons that made the hologram appear. He then let Miko cycle through the aliens that were on it.

"Jack, your mom said that's an alien, which is a lucky guess." Arcee said.

"What do you mean?" Raf was curious as to what Arcee meant.

"I've seen something like that before." Arcee said. "While I was on an off world mission, my team and I were refueling at a space station where there were so many strange aliens. And I actually learned the names of a few of them."

"And you know what kind of alien Heatblast is?"

"Yes, he's a Pyronite from Pyros."

"Wow, that planet must be one big smoking section." Miko said.

"Oh, it's a star. As in a star like the sun." Arcee said. Raf looked at her like she was crazy.

"A star? A star can't support life." Raf was confused.

"Yeah it seems strange, but you probably know that the universe is a big place. Heck, even the Milky Way has a ton of strange creatures, the Pyronites being one of them."

"Jack, what did it feel like when you turned into an alien?" Raf questioned.

"It felt like I was being ripped apart and put back together at the same time, but I was being made into someone else."

"Hmm."

"This one looks kinda cool." Miko said as she stopped cycling through the aliens when she came to one that looked like a human wearing a bathrobe with a hood. She then pressed the dial down.

"Miko, what did I tell you?" Jack said. He tried to stop her but it was too late.

Jack's body slimmed down a bit as he got taller. His body was covered in a chitin like material. It was in blue in places that resembled armor, such as the chest plate and along the limbs. His head took on a more rounded appearance. His hands went from having five fingers to four, slimming down to be like pincers. Jack's feet turned into two toed insectoid feet with a long heel spur. His eyes turned into deep blue orbs with light blue lines running through them, as if to replicate those of an insect. Four moth like wings and a set of antenna grew out of his back, only to cover his body as a sorta coat and hood. His transformation was complete.

"Big Chill!" Jack said in a raspy voice. "It's kinda strange how I keep on coming up with names for these." When Jack spoke in this form, his breath was visible.

"Wow!" Raf said. "What does this one do?"

"Let's find out." He exhaled and a stream of his breath hit a tree stump, causing all the water in it to freeze, turning it for all intents and purposes, a block of ice.

"Well, at least we know which one to use against the 'cons." Miko said. "Or if we wanna make it snow in Alamo on Christmas."

"That would be cool." Jack said, placing emphasis on 'cool'."

"Hey Raf, can't moths fly?" Arcee asked.

"Yeah they can. Jack, why don't you try flying." Miko said.

"Okay." Big Chill said as he stood up and extended his wings. He flapped them and took off.

"Jack, say close to the ground. We don't know when that watch will turn you back into a human."

"Okay Arcee, don't worry, just chill out." Jack said. He then flew off in the opposite direction his mom went.

"Guys, did anyone else notice that Jack placed emphasis on words relating to cold?" Miko said when they were sure

At the crash site...

The robot that was sent by the ship's captain landed near where the pod did. It was in a colpsed state when it hit the ground. It extended its arms then deployed its clawed fingers. It raised its head, then unfolded its three legs, completing its deployment.

It looked around and saw the pod that Jack found the watch.

"Error. Omnitrix is not in transport pod." Its readout said. It held out its right hand and after a second, it fired its laser at the pod, destroying it. "Detecting trace amounts of Omnitrix energy. Sending scout drones." It deployed two disk that were on it's shoulders and they unfolded into robots that had red optics that gave them 360 degrees of vision, five metal claws and one arm that resembled a blaster.

Later, at the crash site...

June arrived later after the giant robot and the smaller drones had left. She examined the debris left by the larger robot.

"I don't like this one bit." June said as she looked at a shard of metal that she found.

Back at the campsite...

The two mini drones arrived at the campsite where Miko and Raf were roasting marshmallows while Arcee watched.

"Scans show traces of Omnitrix energy, as well as a substance known as energon." One of the drones said to its counterpart on their own communication frequency.

"Energon is not our objective. However, the omnitrix might return to this location." The other drone said. "Unit K3N-Y, follow Omnitrix signal. This unit will remain here."

"Affirmative." The other drone said.

Somewhere in the forest...

Jack was flying through the forest, getting a bit higher as he flew. He did a loop around a limb of a tree and stood on it, his wings folding up to their cloak form.

"This is so cool." Jack joyously said. He exhaled again, turning some of the leaves into what were basically plates of ice. He then unconsciously unfolded his antenna and detected something. He made himself invisible and saw one of the robots pass by right in front of him. It looked right at him and moved away.

"What the frozen scrap was that?" Jack said. He apparently didn't expect the robot to hear him. It turned in his direction and fire a red beam of plasma. Jack unfolded his wings and flew back to the campsite, the robot firing on him all the way. "Wait, why don't I try fighting it? I can't just use this to run away. If I do that, what's the point in having powers?" Big Chill turned himself intangible, but not invisible. He let the robot pass right through him. Before the robot could react, he made himself solid and exhaled, freezing the robot and caused it to fall out of the sky. But it didn't shatter like he hoped, so Jack grabbed its frozen chassis, and took it up about a hundred feet in the air and dropped it. It shattered into many pieces of ice, metal, and circuits when it hit the ground. "That was so cool."

Jack landed on the ground, his wings and antennae folded up. He noticed that some parts of the robots were still one piece. He grabbed one of the robots intact arms and thought to himself: "I never did get Raf something from cybertron. Maybe he'll like this." He then was going to fly back to the campsite, but he heard a beeping sound before he could take off. He was reverted back to his human state.

"Well, guess I'm walking." Jack said. He slung the robot limb over his shoulder and walk in the direction of the campsite.

Back at the campsite...

Jack got back about fifteen minutes later to see that his mom was back.

"Jackson Benjamin Darby, where in god's name were you?!"

"I was flying around." Jack said.

"Flying?!" June was shocked to learn that Jack could fly. "How?!"

"Miko turned me into this guy named Big Chill, who's basically a moth with ice powers."

"And Miko, why did you turn him into this "Big Chill'?" June asked.

"I just wanted to see one of his alien forms first hand. And it was either that one one that looked like an eyeless dog."

"Okay, one more question, what's that piece of metal that you have?"

"Oh this, it's a limb from a robot that I fought."

"You what?!" June was pissed.

"Don't worry mom, I didn't get hurt. In fact, the robot couldn't even touch me."

"But why did you keep the limb?"

"Oh! Almost forgot." Jack said. "I forgot to get you something from Cybertron, Raf, so I hope you like this. It seems to be alien." He then handed Raf the robot part.

"Thanks."

"So what did the robot look like?" Arcee asked.

A humming like sound was heard as the second robot made himself known.

"Like that." Jack said, pointing at the rusty orange colored drone.

"Jack, I think you should transform right now." Raf said.

"Okay." Jack tried to ready the watch, but found that it was still red. "Scrap! Arcee, mind dealing with that?"

"Sure." She deployed her blasters and shot at the drone. She only landed a few shots on it, but those blows only chipped off pieces of the armor. She kept on firing, trying to by Jack some time so that he could transform. The robot fired back, scorching arcee's shin armor when it hit. "AH!" Arcee moaned in pain. "Any time now!" She yelled, her aim getting sloppy as the robot scored more hits on her.

The watch's dial went from red to blue. Jack raised it and selected one of the aliens to use. He stopped at one that looked like it was made out of diamonds.

"It's hero time!" Jack shouted as he slammed the dial down.

Jack's whole genetic structure went from being carbon based to silicon based. His body became a purple crystal substance. His arms and legs extended as his torso got larger. His head got a bit taller as well. His hands turned into magenta crystals that had four fingers. Eight crystal spikes sprouted out of his body, two near his shoulder, six on his back in a location similar to where bumblebee's door wings would be. His head became more angular, adopting a cycloptic style of vision. He had a magenta crystal 'face plate' and a mouth. His transformation was complete when the watch's dial appeared on his chest.

"Chromastone!" Jack shouted with a slightly high pitched voice. "Why didn't it give me what I wanted? Is this going to be common?" Little did Jack know that it was going to be a regular thing.

Jack was shot at by the drone.

"Oh scrap!" Jack shouted right before the beam hit him. He dodged it, causing a scorch mark to appear on the log the drone's beam hit.

"Jack! Are you okay?" His mom shouted.

"I am. Just get Miko and Raf to a safe distance."

"Aw man! I wanna watch the smack down!" Miko said.

Arcee continued to try and take down the drone.

"Fine. Get Miko to a place where she can see."

"Jack, watch out!" Raf shouted. Jack turned to see the drone fire its laser at them. He shielded the three humans and the beam didn't effect him.

"Wow. It's a bit tingly, but it didn't hurt. Maybe I could use that to my advantage." Jack mentally said. "Come on you flying tree trimmer, hit me with everything you got!"

"Jack no!" Arcee shouted.

The drone fired its energy beam at Jack. Jack just stood there and absorbed the energy. Eventually, the drone's weapon overheated and it stopped firing, but what it shot at Jack was enough for him to use.

"My turn." Chromastone grinned. He shot a beam of multicolored light out of his arms when he extended them at the non living robot. It was fired to a crisp in a blast of ultraviolet radiation.

"Woah." Miko and Raf said in unison.

The sound of thumping was hear.

"What's that?" June asked.

The main robot came out of the forest, its clawed hands knocking down trees that were in its way.

"Jack, I think papa robot is here to pick up his kids that you killed."

"Scrap." Jack and Arcee said in unison.

"Jack, try turning into another one." Miko suggested.

"How?!"

"I don't know, try using that thing on your chest."

"Hmm, it worth a try." He rotated the dial on his chest to the left slightly and then pressed it down.

In a flash of blue light, he was in a much smaller form.

"Grey Matter!" Jack was transformed into a four inch tall, frog like alien. "Seriously! I need muscle and you give me a frog! Actually, I can work with this." Jack used Grey Matter's greater intelligence to think up an idea. "Arcee!"

"What is it Jack?" She turned her attention from the robot who was looking for Jack to the tiny alien at her feet.

"I believe I have a thought up a plan for me to beat that Decepticon wannabe."

"How?"

"Get me on it. I'll handle it from there."

"Okay, what ever you say so." Arcee said. She held out her hand. Grey Matter hopped up onto it. She made sure he wouldn't fall and ran towards the robot, dodging it's blasts. When she got close enough she jumped and using the hand Jack wasn't in, punched the robot in the head, causing it to stumble back. "Be careful Jack!" Arcee said.

"Oh I will." He said. He dove into the interior of the robot and prepared to take it down. "Let's pull a few of these out." He removed some circuits from the robot's arm controls. "Nice. Now let's give 'Cee an edge. Dropping shield on front torso." Grey Matter rearranged some of the wires and basicly f***ed that scrap up.

Outside the robot, Arcee took shots at its torso, noting that it was acting weird. It was twitching and sparking.

"Wow. Jack really knows how to break things." Arcee said as her shots started to pierce its armor. Eventually they hit the power core and it went offline, falling over as a result.

Grey Matter emerged from a hole in the head and proudly cheered:

"Aw yeah! Who's bad? I'm bad!" But to Arcee, Miko, Raf, and June it sounded like squeaks.

The dial on Jack's chest blinked and in a flash of red light, Jack was human again.

"Oh thank god it timed out." Jack said. "Not gonna lie, but the bugs on the ground were looking pretty tasty. And not one word from you Miko." Jack glared at Miko before she could comment.

"Arcee, should we call Optimus and tell him to get Fowler to send a cleanup crew here?" Raf asked.

"That'd be a good idea." She held two of her fingers to the side of her helmet. "Arcee to base, is anyone there?"

"This is Optimus, Arcee, do you need any assistance?" The baritone voice of the Autobot leader said.

"Yeah. I do, and is Fowler there?"

"Why do you need agent Fowler's help."

"Uh, there's no easy way of saying this, but, just come here yourself."

"Very well." Optimus said. "Ratchet, ready the ground bridge."

Almost a minute later, a blue-green vortex of life appeared. The Autobot leader Optimus Prime and Agent Fowler of the US government walked out of it. They saw the burnt body of the mini drone and the broken body of the larger robot and were dumbfounded.

"What the Sam Hill happened here?" Fowler asked.

"We were attacked by a few robots." Arcee said. "But as you can see, I took them out."

"MECH." Fowler said. "How'd they know where you guys were camping?"

"Agent Fowler, it most certainly was not MECH, that one over there could hover and shoot laser beams."

"So, they're non cybertronian aliens?"

"Yeah. I think."

"How were you able to defeat these drones?" Optimus asked.

"I uh, um, you see..." Arcee tried to think of an explanation to keep the watch a secret, however Miko decided that she wanted to tell the truth, but only because this time the truth was awesome.

"Arcee was getting her rear kicked five ways from friday, so Jack used his new watch like this..." Miko grabbed Jack's left arm and raised the tower on the watch. "And did something like this..." she slammed it down on the first alien that came up, which was one that looked like a raptor.

"Miko, no!" Jack tried to stop her, but once again it was too late.

His arms and legs became slimmer. His legs gained a new joint as they adopted a digitigrade stance. His hands turned into three fingered graspers that had long, black claws that could be used as a spear. His head became elongated, adopting a more streamlined shape. A helmet formed, its visor opening to reveal which had blue eyes and white teeth. A tail grew out of his back, ceasing its growth when it was as long as the rest of his body.

"XLR8!" Jack said with a kind high pitched voice as if he was talking faster. "Miko! I swear, if one of these aliens is a bacteria that kills its host in minutes, I'll flip a coin to decide whether or not I'll use it on you and only you!"

"What the heck did you do to him Miko?" Fowler asked, not liking what was going on.

"I just turned Jack into one of the aliens that are on this fancy watch that he found." Miko said.

"A watch?" Optimus said.

"It's a device that keeps track of t-" Fowler was going to describe what a watch is but Optimus stopped him.

"I know what a watch is agent Fowler, but it would stand to reason that what turned Jack into a Kineceleran is not from Earth or Cybertron." Optimus said.

"Then what is it?" Raf asked.

"I am not sure. Jackson, could you return to the base with us so Ratchet may run some test on the watch?" Optimus asked.

"Okay."

"And why did you need me here?" Fowler asked.

"Um, there's two broken alien robots." Miko said. "We don't want someone getting their hands on them."

"Oh yeah. I'll get a clean up crew here tomorrow, just tell me when you guys leave so I can get a team here."

"Okay." XLR8 said. "Oh, and Fowler, see this limb over here." Jack ran over to the door of the camper and back in a half a millisecond. "I picked this one up from one that I froze solid and gave it to Raf."

"Fine, he can keep it, but I need to see where the rest of this third robot." Jack ran of and in a series of blurs, chunks of ice and piece of metal appeared on a tarp. "Okay. Thanks for the help."

"Now Optimus, I believe it's time for a check up." Jack said.

"Indeed." Optimus touched the side of his helmet. "Ratchet, reopen the ground bridge."

The vortex opened and Optimus and Jack walked through, Fowler following behind him.

Autobot Outpost Omega-1...

"Optimus, what was Arcee's situation?" Ratchet questioned. "And who is this Kineceleran."

"It's me doc-bot." XLR8 said.

Ratchet wasn't sure who this was. "Miko, is that you?"

"Miko? How'd you turn into a kine-alien?" The green autobot known as Bulkhead asked.

"Yeah, how did she?" Miko asked. Neither XLR8 nor Optimus noticed her come through the ground bridge.

"Miko?! If you're there, then who's that?" Bulkhead asked.

"Just wait a bit and you'll find out." XLR8 said.

The dial on Jack's chest blinked and made a beeping sound and in a flash of red light, Jack was human again.

"Jack? Huh? How?" Ratchet was dumb founded.

"I found this in the forest." Jack showed the autobot medic the watch. "And I found out that I can turn into aliens using it."

"Okay. Well, why did you come to base with Optimus?"

"Optimus said you should look over it to find out what it is. That is possible, right?"

"Yes of course." Ratchet said, he walked over to the medical bay, Jack following him. "Need any help?" He asked.

"Yeah, that'd be nice."

Ratchet held out his hand. Jack hopped onto it, then Ratchet helped him onto the medical berth.

"Thanks." Jack said. Ratchet nodded in response.

"Okay, let's see." Ratchet grabbed a pair of cybertronian sized calipers. He used them to measure the size of the pieces of the watch. "Sized just like a human watch. Where did you find it?" He asked.

"In a pod that looked like silver a rolly polly."

"A what?"

"It's a type of bug."

"You said the pod looked like this." Jack looked at a picture of a rolled up roly poly that was curled up and colored silver.

"Yeah, kinda like that."

Ratchet attached a couple of wires to the watch. He then took some scans of the watch.

"Hmm. This watch is giving off a form of energy similar to energon fusion." Ratchet saw a look of panic on Jack's face. "Don't worry, I said it was similar. This watch uses a self regenerating power supply, should last for around four billion years before it starts to wear out."

"Well, we now know what it's powered by, but what is it?"

"Hold on." Ratchet used the scanner on his arm. He scanned the watch and a 3D model of it came up on the screen that was at the head of the berth. "By the Allspark!" He said.

"What is it Ratchet?" Jack asked. "What's the watch called?"

"This is a piece of Galvan technology." The medic said.

"A what?"

"Galvan. They're a race of aliens who can create just about anything. Faster than light interstellar travel, life, gateways to pocket dimensions, and of course this. It's even been rumored that they have been trying to figure out the chemical formula of energon."

"Well, what do they look like?"

"This." Ratchet showed Jack an image of a small, frog like alien.

"Hey, that looks like Grey Matter."

"Who?"

"One of the aliens I can turn into using the watch."

"Oh yes, the watch. By the allspark, it can't be."

"Ratchet, you're kinda freaking me out." Jack said. "What's this thing called?"

"This is the most powerful weapon in the known universe. The Omnitrix."

"The Omni what?"

"The Omnitrix, a device made by one of the Galvan, a race that rivals the great Solus Prime in terms of scientific knowledge. But as to who made the Omnitrix, no one knows his or her name."

"How does it work?"

"Well Jack, based on what has been revealed about the Omnitrix by its creator's people, it seems to be using a genetic scrambler to change your genetic structure for a period of time."

"Can you get it off of me?" Jack asked.

"No. It would require its creator to deactivate the clamps. If I or anyone else were to try to remove it, it would break your genetic code, either killing you instantly, or causing irreparable damage, then it would kill you after a long, slow, painful death."

"So I'm stuck with it."

"Yes. The most powerful weapon in the universe, on the wrist of a human teenager."

"Ratchet, I don't think this is meant to be a weapon." Jack said. "If it were meant to be a weapon, it would've modified my personality to make me more aggressive." Ratchet looked at Jack with a look of curiosity."

"Well at least it ended up on your wrist." Ratchet said. "I think it's time to send you back to the camp site. I'll ready the ground bridge for you and Miko.

"Oh don't worry, I'll get there myself." Jack used the 'Omnitrix' to transform into... "XLR8!"

Jack hopped off the birth, ran to the main room to get Miko.

"Miko, climb on. It's time to go." Jack said.

"Okay." She climbed onto XLR8's back and held on tightly.

Jack ran up to the door controls and pressed open. He put it on auto close to go off after it opens up for ten seconds. He closed the visor on his helmet, which looked like the one on his motorcycle helmet. He ran through the open door way and while Miko was still on his back, he ran at full speed across the desert toward Yosemite National park, eventually making to the freeway where he no doubt set off the radar guns of some police officers. Miko used Jack's head to shield her face from bugs that if they hit her at this speed, would be like bullets.

After about ten minutes of running at full speed, he got back to the campsite.

"Why didn't you use the ground bridge?" Raf asked as Miko got off of Jack's back.

"Wanted to get a little jog in." Jack said.

The Omnitrix timed out and Jack was human again.

"Well, we better get to bed, we're heading to San Francisco tomorrow and it's gonna be a long drive. I wanna wake up early so we can get there with still time to do stuff."

"Okay." The kids and Arcee said.

Arcee transformed and went into the tent that Raf had set up for her. The humans went into the camper. Jack slept on the couch, which folded out to be a bed, June slept on the table, which also became a bed. Miko and Raf slept on the bunk beds.

Back in space...

The ship's commanding officer was being healed as his ship repaired. He had just received a word that the drone that he dispatched had been destroyed.

"Failure! Unbelievable!" He Rasped. "The puny earth being that is keeping the Omnitrix from me will soon hang on my trophy wall." He decided that he needed assistance from outside of his army. "You, prepare to send out a message on all tachyon wave lengths." He ordered one of his humanoid soldiers.

"At once sire."

"This is a message to any and all bounty hunters, mercenaries, rouges, scavengers, and the like. I am Vilgax. I am in need of assistance in obtaining an item called the omnitrix. The reward will be decided upon by whoever gets it for me."

Harbinger...

"It may be anything you might want. Wealth, power, anything."

"Hmm. This seems, promising." The ex decepticon Starscream said as he listened to Vilgax's broadcast.

On the Nemesis...

"You may keep the head of the human insect who bears the Omnitrix at the current time if you so choose."

"It will be great to have the head of a human on my trophy wall." Airachnid said as she looked at the stuffed animal heads that she had collected from her time on Earth. "Hunting these had been fun, but it lacks the fun of hearing my prey beg for mercy. This Omnitrix will be a true challenge, and a fun one at that."

Deep space...

"If you consider yourself brave enough to go after such a device, I am awaiting your arrival. I am currently in orbit around the moon of the third planet in the Sol system."

"Vilgax. It's been awhile since I last did some work for you." Locus, a bounty hunter of unknown species said. His armor was steel with sage trim and wore the Locus helmet from Halo 4. "You, plot a course for that system." He ordered one his soldiers, which was a humanoid that had black armor. "We're going hunting."

"Oh I can't wait. Old squid face pays a fortune when ever we bag somebody for him." Felix, Locus' associate who wore steel colored armor and wore a helmet similar to that of the Scout helmet from the above mentioned game.

Back on earth...

The next day, Miko, Raf, and June woke up to find Arcee helping Jack, who was in his Heatblast form, do some target practice with pieces of the robot that were bent to be similar to circles.

"Morning guys!" Jack said. "Hey Mom, check this out!" Jack charged up a fireball that was about as big as his head and flung it in the direction of the targets and when it got about halfway there, it split into five smaller fireballs that hit five targets that were in different directions.

"Cool!" Miko said, impressed with how great Jack was.

"Very nice." June was in a strange way, proud of him, well, as proud as one could be if your son turned into an alien made out of lava. "Say Jack, could one of your alien forms help us pack up quickly?" She said.

"Sure. Just let me go from Heatblast, to..." Jack turned the dial on his chest. "XLR8!" Jack then picked up all the trash, put away all the stuff that they brought and was finished in under a minute.

"Thanks Jack, now, let's get Arcee's alt mode strapped on the trailer and let's head off." June said.

Chapter end.

AN: For anyone wondering, yes this is based off of Ultimate10's Omniformer: The Beginning. Well, just the basic idea, which is it's a cross of Transformers Prime and Ben 10. This is going to incorporate some elements from the Ben 10 shows, such as the villains from the original series and Alien Force, and the alien forms from all the series, which I'll tell you which ones are from which series. I also have an interesting idea as to how I'm going to handle the concept of a cybertronian alien form. If you've read Omniformer: The Beginning, the cybertronian form in the Omnitrix after scanning a cybertronian is called Bluestreak, but in Power of Ten (Not the permanent title, it's a place holder until I come up with something better), the Omnitrix's cybertronian form if going to be interesting to say the least, both in the story and outside of it. Plus, expect a Predacon form, because Shockwave may have implied that the Predacons are a different species from the normal Cybertronians. And an Inves form if I decide to do my own Heroes United like thing, but instead of Generator Rex, it'll be with Kamen Rider Gaim. And if you're wondering why I'm having the Autobots know about the Omnitrix from the start, well remember the episode Speed Metal? Yeah, it showed us that the kids can't keep a secret from the Autobots. Plus it'll also make sense when Big Chill goes rouge.

Expect June to be OOC, but not to an extreme degree.

The Aliens used and what show their design is from:
Heatblast: Original series design but with Ultimate alien coloring.

Big Chill: Alien Force/ Ultimate Alien (Have you seen his design in Omniverse? Big Chill looks like a bat and not a moth. Though after watching Omniverse, its sorta grown on me, so it might be used as a more older Big Chill); Eyes are blue instead of green.

Chromastone: Alien Force/ Ultimate Alien; Eye is blue.

Grey Matter: Original series.

XLR8: Original series; Eyes are blue, visor is just black, kind like a motorcycle helmet.

In addition, I edited the end of this chapter to have Locus and Felix. I just read Prime 10 and I thought to my self 'Why not have these two?' They won't appear until much later though. And they're not humans or Cybertronian. Their races shall be revealed when they first appear.
