Hey guys. It's me, Omni. You guys have most likely been wondering when I'm going to post the newest/updated chapter(s) of Shapeshifter of Kuoh. There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just get it out of the way: they're not coming out.

I've lost my passion towards writing this story. It's not because of something that anyone has done, I've just lost my passion towards writing it and realized that I didn't have any actual plans for my story. I mean sure, I had ideas about what I wanted to do later, but I had no ideas for overarching plots or such. All in all, I just feel like what I was doing wasn't going to amount to anything.

However, despite how poorly thought-out my story's future was, I know that you guys were looking forward to what few future things I did have planned. Because of that, I decided that I would answer the three most voted-for questions that I had in my poll.

So, without further ado, the three most voted-for questions.

Third most voted for question: What is Ben's Sacred Gear going to be and what are it's abilities?

Answer: Ben's Sacred Gear was going to be called the Celestial Sword. It would basically just be that sword Skurd made with the Alien X DNA in the episode A New Dawn. The Celestial Sword would have had 9 abilities, with 8 of them decided by Bellicus and Serena during their debating and one decided by Ben. They are as follows:

Anguish Reflection, which would reflect projectile attacks back at the attacker.

Humanis Novis, which would create a burst of light around Ben that sends others flying back when in his human form. Ben has to say or think of Humanis Novis' name to activate it.

Humanis Umbra, which would create a liquid-like mass of physical darkness that would act as a shield for Ben when in his human form. Ben has to say or think of Humanis Umbra's name to activate it. Yes, this is based off of Dark Shadow from My Hero Academia.

Item Summon, which could summon items at the cost of stamina. The larger or more complex the item, the more stamina it uses up. Yes, this is based off of Momo from My Hero Academia.

Omni-Link, which allows for the Celestial Sword to take up attributes from transformations in the Omnitrix, sometimes even changing what type of weapon the Celestial Sword is to reflect the transformation. For example, if it took up Four Arm attributes, it would become a warhammer, Grey Matter would be a ranged weapon, Heatblast would be a flaming version of the sword, etc…

Ring of Rage, which manipulates the mind of someone Ben perceives as an enemy into attacking their allies in a mad fury. This is activated by Ben drawing a glowing red circle in the air with the Celestial Sword. It can be dispersed remotely at will. It doesn't work on people with an exceptionally strong will.

Ring of Reverence, which manipulates the mind of someone Ben perceives as an enemy into becoming Ben's ally for an hour. It can be used on five people max and could be activated by Ben drawing a glowing blue circle in the air with the Celestial Sword. It doesn't work on people with an exceptionally strong will.

Supernatural Cancel, which cancels out all supernatural attacks towards Ben. This only activates when Ben is unconscious. No, this is not based off of Aizawa from My Hero Academia.

Backstory Beam, which is basically just a white beam that shoots from the tip of the sword. Being hit by the beam instills people with a basic knowledge of Ben's backstory. Yeah, Ben decided to make this the one ability he had a say in because he was tired of constantly explaining his backstory to people. Lul.

Second most voted for question: When will Ben get the Ultimate Function and what original Ultimates have I made?

Answer: Ben would have started working on the Ultimate Feature after the Rating Game with Riser Phenex and finished working on it just in time to use it against Kokabiel while fighting alongside the ORC and Xenovia. As for original Ultimates, my line-up looked like this.

Ultimate Armodrillo, which was a dusty brown color with a few bristly plumes sticking out of the top of the head and down the back and tail. The drill-arms would have been upgraded into being able to switch between regular arms, laser drills and extendable wrecking balls. Ultimate Armodrillo also would have had greatly increased heat resistance and the ability to turn stone into lava by smashing his arms into the ground.

Ultimate Blitzwolfer, which was basically Blitzwolfer with pitch black fur, pupil-less red eyes and an additional two arms (inspired by the Viperwolves from Avatar). Blitzwolfer would have gained the ability to open teleportation portals by howling, almost supernatural camouflage skills when in a dark environment and the ability to release inaudible echolocation pulses from his mouth like Toothless in the Netflix Race to the Edge series.

Ultimate ChamAlien, which was basically a Chameleos from Monster Hunter without the wings and six eyes instead of the usual two. It would have become larger and gained several new abilities, which include a paralysis gas breath, a poison gas breath, an acidic gas breath, the ability to turn completely invisible and a long tongue that can grapple like an actual chameleon's. Ultimate ChamAlien would be unable to talk since it's chittering language would be too advanced for the Omnitrix to translate like the Vulpimancer language.

Ultimate Ripjaws, which was a pitch black Ripjaws with blue bioluminescent stripes along it's sides. It would be larger than normal Ripjaws, have claws similar to Zs'Skayr's, an unhingeable jaw and a tail that is constantly merged in it's aquatic mode (even when out of the water). Ultimate Ripjaws would have electroreception, generate whirlpools by swimming in loops fast enough and jaws strong enough to shatter diamonds. A disadvantage though is that Ultimate Ripjaws enters a bloodlusting frenzy whenever he smells blood in the water.

Ultimate Toepick, which had a large, gorilla-like body with long, dreadlock-like hair in the same color as the original's skin. It would still have the same mask, but three eyes would be visible (inspired by the trolls in Skyrim). Ultimate Toepick releases a hallucinogenic dust that only activates on those he deems an enemy. A non-effected person looking at Ultimate Toepick would have the same reaction as looking at regular Toepick. An affected person can literally be scared to death if Ultimate Toepick desires it so.

Most voted for question: Who will be in Ben's harem?

Answer: The harem would have consisted of Bennia, Elmenhilde Karnstein, Ile, Koneko Toujou, Kunou, Le Fay Pendragon, Mittelt, Ophis, Ravel Phenex and Tosca. To be fair though, I have considered swapping Ophis out with Lilith since I think that would be a better match.

Now that all of that is out of the way, I would like to say thank you to everyone who followed/favorited this story or reviewed. For my first ever story on this website, you were all very supportive of me and my endeavors. Because of that, I feel like it's wrong to just leave this story to collect metaphorical dust in the metaphorical corner. Therefore, I am putting this story up for adoption.

If you are interested in adopting this story, then let me know through a review (don't PM me though, PMs no longer show in Gmail). If I find your writing to be adequate, I will send you the rest of the ideas I had planned.

Thank you everyone for making this such a memorable first story for me to work on. I'm so eager to continue writing on this website in the future and seeing how people will react to those future stories. Speaking of future stories, I have a few in mind… (check the new poll if you want specifics).

(P.S. Special thanks to Purp, who gave me a few ideas, and special apology to Bakuganman, who makes a few of my favorite stories on this website (even if I have been neglecting to read them lately, which I will be fixing very soon). Go read some of them.)
