17. Special Training & Crash

June 9, 2010.

We trained with Tetrax right up to four in the morning. During this time, he taught me several techniques and secrets of the Petrosapians.

For example, he taught me how to manage those crystals that I have already used, if they are still intact. Very handy for a surprise attack.

Also taught to use the spikes on the back as a weapon. Create swords and boomerangs out of them, which you then control.

Tetrax also suggested creating shields from crystal for protection. A very versatile shield, since the only thing that destroys it is sound waves of a special frequency. But this is generally the general weakness of the Petrosapians.

By the way, I came up with a trick with the shield. Although recreated rather. I act like Captain America, no one expects this for sure.

Plus, he helped me increase my Taydenite crafting speed and helped me tailor some of my fighting skills to Diamondhead's body. With this, I just needed help most of all.

- Well, everything necessary and basic, I taught you. Now you only need combat experience. Therefore, now we will be sparring. It will also help you understand how best to use your skills with the abilities of my race. - by midnight, said Tetrax.

Then sparring started. Thanks to them, I was able to slightly adapt the techniques I received today.

When we finished sparring, the four of us returned to the bus. Yes, Gwen and Grandpa watched our training all this time, they even missed dinner. We just ate some snacks.

- Nice to meet you all. I'm glad the Omnitrix is ​​in good hands. If you need help, here's my intercom number, call. - giving his number, said Tetrax.

- Thanks for training, Tetrax. I was glad to meet you too. You, too, call if something happens. When I can get access to Crystalosapien, I will definitely inform you - I said with a smile and shook hands with Tetrax. He's a good guy after all.

- Thank you, this is important to me. Take this, this is my gift to you. - Tetrax said with a smile and handed me his flying board.

- But don't you need a board to come back? - Gwen asked dubiously as she watched me take the board.

Instead of answering, Tetrax pressed a button on his sleeve and we saw a large spaceship descend from the sky.

- Gorgeous ship. - I said sincerely.

The ship was really cool. Although he had a rather strange shape. But I read that this model is one of the best in the galaxy. They have good speed, and most importantly, very strong defense.

- Thank you. Well, see you in the future. - said Tetrax, shook hands with grandfather and Gwen, after which he entered the ship, which soon took off.

- Good guy. - Grandpa said as he watched Tetrax's ship disappear from sight.

- Yes, cool. - said Gwen, although she practically did not speak to him.

- I agree. Now let's go to bed, I'm very tired. - I said and went to the bus.

Nodding at my words, Grandpa and Gwen followed me. But at the entrance, I stopped, turned to Gwen and said:

- Oh yes, Gwen, here you go. You will need this board more than me. - I gave the Tetrax board to Gwen.

- You're sure? Tetrax gave it to you. - Taking the board, Gwen asked doubtfully.

- Yes, I already have a cool space clock. Have a cool flying board. Besides, I can fly anyway if I become an alien. - with a smile, I said.

In fact, I can easily create the same, or even better, board myself. This is not difficult.

Hearing my words, Gwen smiled happily and kissed my cheek.

- Thank you. - said Gwen and went to her bed.

Grandpa saw all this, gave me a toothy smile and showed his thumb up.

I just dismissed his actions and went to bed.

(3rd POV)

In space, Vilgax, in a healing capsule, watched as Tetrax's ship left Earth and went into hyperspace.

- I was betrayed. & Vilgax said angrily.

- Tracking device indicates that they were unable to obtain the Omnitrix. One of his soldiers reported to Vilgax.

- It looks like a creature in the hands of which the Omnitrix is ​​not only fierce, but also intelligent. But I must be reckoned with. - Vilgax said fiercely and continued to swim in his capsule, continuing to heal.

(Lex POV)

The next day we woke up only for lunch. Therefore, after eating another masterpiece of my grandfather, we immediately hit the road.

While there was time, I decided to finally deal with the tracking device and remove the loophole in the watch. If someone wants to find a watch, he will have to try very hard.

While I was taking apart the device, Gwen sat down opposite me and spoke.

- So who is Vilgax? - Gwen argued.

- You'd better ask your grandfather about it, he knows better. - I said, continuing to poke around in the compass.

- Grandfather? - Gwen asked and looked at Max with curiosity.

Max listened to our conversation and therefore knew what it was about, so he immediately began to tell everything:

- You see, Gwen, during my work as an Plumber, I ran into Vilgax more than once. He is a tyrant, invader and ruler of ten worlds. Vilgax is an incredibly cruel, cunning and powerful alien. Several times he tried to attack the Earth, but we always stopped him. In fact, Vilgax can be called the main villain of the galaxy.

- And what did you say about the fact that you saw how he died? - Impressed by Max's story, Gwen asked quietly.

- The last time I saw Vilgax, his ship exploded. I thought he was dead, but according to Tetrax he is not. - With a grim face, Max said, clearly unhappy that he had not finished off this squid.

- Also, according to Tetrax, Vilgax is looking for the Omnitrix, which means that he will come for us. It's good that while hunting for a watch, he was seriously injured, and therefore, until he is cured, we can not wait for him. We have time to prepare. Plus, I'll do something and we'll be aware of his coming. - I said, already fully understanding the work of the tracking device.

- Have you removed the tracking feature yet? - asked the grandfather.

- I'm just finishing. Now this method of searching for a clock will not work, and the device itself will inform us if there is one nearby. So, we will know if another robot or other mercenaries are sent for us. But all the same, by the blue light that the clock emits during my transformation, they will be able to find us, but only within a radius of 2 kilometers from my location. But now there will be no traces. And my radar will inform us about the guests when they come to Earth. So everything will be fine. - I said, pleased with my work.

With that finished, I went to the back of the bus and did my combination again, first Ditto and then Upgrade.

Upgrade has soaked into the watch and removed the loophole. To do this, the device itself was really needed, there was a need to know a special trick in order to close the loss of energy correctly and so that no one would know about it.

Having finished his work, the Upgrade came back and was dispelled.

Just at that moment, Grandpa Max caught my attention.

- Lex, I need you. - said the grandfather and stopped the RV.

Approaching the driver's seat, through the windshield, I saw two trucks lying on the road ahead. Apparently there was an accident. The bad news is that one of the trucks was carrying propane, so everything is on there, and one of the drivers is also stuck.

Realizing what was happening, I did not hesitate to turn into a Ghostfreak.

Having become intangible and invisible, I flew through the glass of the bus and went to the rescue of the stuck driver.

Having reached the trucks, I went through the door and got into the cab to the driver, where I took him by the hands and made him also immaterial, carried him out and carried him to the side of the road.

The driver himself was in complete shock and only looked around in horror. But he's safe.

Having flown up to the fire, I became a Heatblast and absorbed all the flame. After that he became Four Arms and took the trucks and carried them away from the road.

While everyone was looking at me in shock, I managed to become invisible to the Ghostfreak again and returned to the bus. By the way, Ze'Skayr woke up because I already felt the swarming in my head. Looks like he's trying to take control of me. Well, let him try.

When my grandfather and Gwen saw that I was back, they just smiled at me and we drove on.
