175 174. WayBig

(3rd POV)

Lex was looking at Morgana, who is now the main AI of the revamped Omnitrix, with incredible joy, but before they could start discussing the changes that happened to the AI-girl and the events of the last hours, a grouchy Azmuth interjected with the words:

- Okay, then talk a lot, now is not the time for that. First, you need to deal with Vilgax, and then you can discuss everything.

Lex made such an expression on his face that it immediately became clear that he did not want to agree with Galvan, but since he understood what was more important in the current situation, the guy overcame himself, sighed and said with regret in his voice:

- Okay, first the battle, and then the conversations. The sooner I finish, the sooner you, Azmuth, will explain everything to me.

- Don't even doubt it, it will. - Azmuth nodded his head.

Nodding at the words of the alien, Lex looked at Tetrax and Gwen, and confidently said:

- As you know, the situation has changed and now sophisticated plans are not needed with the power of the Omnitrix, so you can relax. But, just in case, get back to the ship and get ready to leave. As soon as I'm done, we'll get out of here.

- Okay, Lex, but be careful. - Tetrax said quickly, having no doubts about Lex.

- Take care. - Gwen said with a smile, also completely believing and supporting her boyfriend. How can she not, if it is her direct duty, as his beloved.

- Necessarily. - Lex said with a smile and kissed his girlfriend on the cheek.

Satisfied with such a gentle gesture, Gwen waved goodbye and returned to 'the Resolute', accompanied by the Petrosapien, leaving Lex and Azmuth alone.

- You should also go to a safe place. - Lex said, looking at the little genius.

- I'm leaving now, I just wanted to advise you on a suitable alien for this situation. - Azmuth said with a smirk and jumping back on Lex hand with the Omnitrix, Azmuth scrolled the dial several times, after which a blue hologram of a humanoid alien appeared above the dial itself, which was also a new watch function added after a recent update.

- [Don't jump on me anymore, it's disgusting!] - Morgana exclaimed in annoyance, which, although she was no longer visible, was perfectly audible from the clock's speakers.

- Kheh… - Azmuth grunted at such impudence and almost fell off Lex's hand. He did not expect that the AI ​​in his invention would treat him that way.

Lex somehow ignored this little squabble and was more focused on the alien that Azmuth had given him access to. It was WayBig, as the original Ben 10 called him, a pretty big character in his story.

A white humanoid alien, one hundred and twenty meters tall, with a large red crest on its head and sharp red inlays on the shoulders, elbows and waist.

- To'kustar, huh? - Lex said with a smile, amused that, despite everything that had happened, he, as in the canon, got access to this alien, just today.

- Yes, giant born in cosmic storms. Although it is almost four times smaller than Vilgaxinator, I am sure that you can handle it. Despite their size, To'kustars are quite fast, and of course very strong and durable. Besides, they have one more special ability, but I think you will figure it out yourself, after all, it's not the first day you own the Omnitrix. - Azmuth said pleased as he jumped off Lex's arm.

- Okay, I have no objection to using this alien, but you should hurry, the mech is getting close. - Lex said.

- Okay, okay, don't worry about me, I'm not small. And without your care I will survive. - Azmuth said grumpily, but nevertheless listened to Lex and ran to the spaceship.

- Old grumbler… - Lex muttered, shaking his head, but at the same time, he could not help smiling. Still, he likes this old stranger, although he doesn't want to admit it.

- All right, Morgana, let's exterminate this bastard and show him again that we should not be messed with. - Lex said with a smile, turning his attention back to the slowly approaching combat drone.

- [Of course, darling!] g said Morgana, whose dream of being with Lex forever has now truly come true.

By the way, about Vilgax himself. All this time, his voice was heard from the mech's speakers, which promised Lex and the others all the punishments of heaven, and he also constantly told what he would do with Azmuth if he did not agree to comply with his demands.

True, no one paid much attention to this. In any case, the noise of Vilgaxinator's movement almost drowned out Vilgax's voice, so little loss. Lex even for a moment felt sorry for this squid.

Vilgax is no doubt a very dangerous alien who has killed many sentient beings and enslaved more than one world with an entire army of droids under his control, and quite feasible plans to take over the universe, but sometimes he behaves like an ordinary clichéd villain.

Lex, though it doesn't seem like it, extremely serious about Vilgax himself and his plans, because he knows that with a 200-year-old experienced tyrant, one can never relax, which is only worth the recent Six-Six's ambush, but even he finds it difficult to take Chimera Sui Generis seriously. Especially when he behaves like this.

True, this only happens when Lex is confident in his superior power, which is quite reasonable. Although, again, if he was sure he wouldn't make things worse, Lex would have killed Vilgax long ago and got rid of his threat.

But, according to Lex himself, a familiar enemy, whose plans and thoughts are quite known and predictable, is better than an unknown enemy, which can be many times more terrible than this octopus. Well, the fact that Vilgax's actions can still benefit Lex himself affects this.

Vilgax makes a great scarecrow and a common enemy, against which intelligent representatives of the galaxy unite. What can say, if after the beginning of the expansion of Vilgax, there were practically no interracial galactic wars, and if there were, then they did without large-scale battles, so as not to weaken their own forces and not allow Vilgax to act.

Whatever say, Vilgax sometimes acts as a necessary evil, the existence of which is supported by at least some semblance of a world under the control of the Plumbers. And for this, the life of a squid can be extended. But, this does not mean that he should be allowed to get impudent and sometimes you need to show Vilgax that he is 'not the biggest ax in the barn'.

Moreover, Lex is always happy to annoy this octopus, especially if he himself provides such a great chance. Vilgax spent a lot of money building his death machine, and if he loses it, it will be at least unpleasant.

And since Vilgax himself is not here, Lex can not hold back and tear this battle outfit to shreds, which, of course, he will do with pleasure. It would be even better if Lex took the fur for himself. This is sure to piss off Vilgax.

Of course, Lex is now very exhausted and more than anything he wants to sleep now (this feeling is especially strong after Morgana returned to him and all the anxiety and stress that he felt lately due to her loss left the guy), but for the sake of Vilgax, who again unknowingly helped him (perhaps without his threat, Azmuth would not have restored the Omnitrix), Lex is happy to play with him. Which may not please Vilgax himself, but for Lex, it will be something else.

- Hey Vilgax, long time no see! - Lex shouted with joy in his voice and slapped the dial of his watch.

As usual, Lex's body lit up and he began to grow taller, transforming into a To'kustar along the way. When the light faded, Lex examined his huge hands, and moving his body a little, with a deep baritone, he said: - I missed this feeling...

- [TEEEEEEEEEEEENNYSON!] - Seeing through the cameras of the drone that a huge alien appeared in front of him, Vilgax immediately realized who it was and, remembering the humiliation experienced in the past, exclaimed furiously.

- Yes it's me. I'm glad you remember me. How is your health since last time? - Lex asked amiably as he started walking towards the mech.

- YOU! I WILL TEAR YOU TO SMALL PIECES!!! - the alien immediately shouted, who is still recovering from their last meeting and still has not grown his arm.

- Well, we'll see that. Your mech may be bigger than me, but size doesn't matter, no matter what you're told. The main thing is to be able to properly use the means available to you. - Lex said with a wicked grin.

Right after that, Lex suddenly attacked the insanely evil Vilgax, who didn't expect it. Arms crossed in front of him, WayBig fired a beam of cosmic energy, accurately destroying the large cannon on the Mech's shoulder, which clearly had the most offensive power in Vilgax's arsenal and was the most dangerous.

Before Vilgax realized that he had lost one of his weapons, Lex lunged forward with a speed equal to that of an XLR8 and with a force quite capable of splitting the Moon, he slammed into the legs of the mech.

Due to the high protection of the outer skin, the legs did not break, but thanks to the momentum, Lex managed, the Mech fell off and heaped to the ground. By this point, Vilgax had already figured out that if he didn't hurry up, he would lose his Vilgaxinator, so he started using all the available weapons on the To'kustar, which was so handy in close proximity.

Thanks to his thick skin, Lex withstood all attacks without any problems, which cannot be said about an already damaged planet, but, unfortunately, Vilgax had weapons in his arsenal, attacking with electric projectiles, which worked great on WayBig, as this is a common weakness of this race.

This caused Lex severe pain and even paralyzed him, but fortunately he had the concentration to use telekinesis, which in the form of this alien increased many times, and break the barrel of the cannon from which Vilgax fired electricity.

This was not the only such weapon, there were other similar analogues in the death machine, but this time, Lex did not allow Vilgax to use it and, using all his strength, he tore off and destroyed all weapons that were not as protected as his own mech armor.

- Whoa, that hurt… - Lex said in relief, sitting on the fallen mech and not letting him get up again. Which wasn't all that difficult, since the fur wasn't very agile.

- [This is not the end!] - said Vilgax, located on Vilgaxia in a special device that allows you to remotely control this droid.

- No, it's over. I think we've played enough and we can finish. See you again sometime, don't forget about me. - Lex said with a smirk and by pressing the dial on his chest he turned into another alien.

The best choice in the current situation was, of course, Upgrade, thanks to the powers of which Lex began to infiltrate and take control of the Vilgaxinator, which, due to its size, was not too fast, but inevitable. And no matter how much Vilgax opposed this, he could not do anything to prevent it.

- [TEE…] - the alien tried to yell angrily again, but Lex took it off the controls and the connection was lost.

- Yes, I know, I know, 'TENNYSON, I WILL REVENGE YOU' and so on and so forth. We've already been through this. - Lex said wearily. Upgrade's computer voice.

It took another three minutes for the Galvanic Mechamorph's nanite body to completely cover the mech, after which Lex began absorbing all of the technique into his body in order to somehow use an improved version of the Vilgaxinator in combat. It will definitely come in handy, and maybe even Azmuth' dream will come true, and this invention will be used to save lives.
