9 Fusions and Evolutions

MC's POV

Before I start explaining my first actual improvement of my Omnitrix, I would like to finally reveal that I've found a weird broken key hidden amongst the scraps of the pod that brought the watch to me all the way back to the start of my summer vacation.

I would've mentioned it earlier, but since the damage had been too severe, there wasn't much of a reason to waste my time with it.

Only after thoroughly inspecting this key did I settle on repairing it, and I've got to admit I was pleasantly surprised that it was one of the few things that I vaguely recalled from the reboot, however its presence made me unsure of what else might've come with it.

This weird key was not supposed to unlock any overpowered transformation like the Celestialsapien (Alien X), but instead it introduced the Omni-Kixs and Omni-Nauts feature.

The Omni-Kix were enhancements that used high tech armor to amplify the aliens' abilities, a feature that was part of a security protocol that was built in the Omnitrix.

After integrating it into the Omnitrix, the Omni-Kix forms would be activated by turning the Omnitrix symbol in a 90° degree angle during transformations, leaving it in a sideways position.

Think of it as a basic suit of armor, but one that adapted itself to provide the needs for each transformation. And like these Omni-Kix Armors, the next step of its evolution came the Omni-Naut Armors which used an even higher tech to produce armors that amplified the aliens' abilities even further.

Additionally, the Omni-Naut allowed the aliens to survive in the vacuum of space, or at least just added extra protection for those already possessing a natural space survivability. Besides space, Omni-Naut Armors could also be used while in aquatic environments and had a jetpack for non-flying species.

What else I managed to salvage from the broken key allowed me to create my own added features without messing with the Omnitrix's inbuilt security protocols.

This opened many possibilities.

Curiously, after investigating my Omnitrix, I've found no fulmini transformation or Omni-enhancement feature available yet.

Not sure if I really cared, at least not now that I have my Anodite mana slowly oozing out to my other transformations. Don't know what else from the Reboot will be added to my dimension, I just hoped not much else.

In my free time, thanks to all the resources I've managed to collect since now, I've been working on some new features with the help of my Galvan (Grey Matter) and Galvanic Mechamorph (Upgrade) form.

Top of the list for me was finally fixing the incomplete transformation I had with the Galvanic Mechamorph (Upgrade) form, and mixing a couple of my Nosedeenian (Buzzshock) transformation strands of DNA while I was at it. Now not only could I replicate improved technology without having to be possessing it but also extricate a pet variant of the species.

The former feature didn't exactly put me on the same level as malware, although the electrikenises was a match made in heaven, besides since I like to believe I'm much more creative than the corrupt being, that gap should be somewhat mitigated. First thing I did with it was getting myself the Predator's cloaking device, Kraab's drilling machine and Six-six's myriad of rockets.

As for the second feature, perhaps calling it a pet wasn't the best way to describe it, since the first blob of nanites I blurped out of me didn't behave like a puppy nor did its speech was limited to a single word. Granted, I wasn't dealing with a being equally sentient like me or my mud clones, mostly because the strand of DNA I got from the Limaxes wasn't fully integrated with Galvanic Mechamorph's (Upgrade) inorganic species, what I got instead was a smart parrot that obeyed my commands and had a couple of my memories regarding technology.

"Boss…" I heard the blob of nanites call me after I had it merged with the AI personally made by me. "…does this unit have a name?"

I raised my eyebrows at that, completely aware that I was not really good at coming up with names so I tried to think about something else that already existed.

"Hmmm…how about Alpha?" I answered, going completely black with more appropriate names for it.

For a moment my clone just stared at me with his circular green eye, until he finally nodded, apparently incapable of fathom contradicting my will. "Alpha it is then, at least until Boss wishes to call me something else."

"Great." I assessed, relieved to have solved it without much difficulty, before disabling the outer shell of my Omnitrix. "Now, Alpha, let's proceed with Project Apex."

"Understood, Boss." The blob of nanites replied before slowly merging with the Omnitrix in my wrist.

The process took more than a couple of minutes not because I wanted to make it dramatic, but because this was a piece of technology from the 20th level we were talking about. As naturally powerful as Alpha was, it was still very inexperienced, if not for the Omni-key I had recovered which presented a safe way to interact with the Omnitrix main system I might've postponed this project.

During our first attempt, we managed to upgrade the Omni-kixs and Nauts armors to an even higher quality, I could now integrate any piece of weapon I came across and add it to my arsenal. Not only that, but since it's basically Alpha constructing everything, I kind of have the Galvanic Mechamorph main ability at all times. All in all, I've got to say that Alpha's nanites pattern does make for a nice cool jacket.

In any case, I got some extra features that would also carry on from transformation to transformation. First of these was a fully functional bodycam, which would record everything I did while in alien form and could later be viewed/studied closer for information missed during my battles. It could also create a map of terrain explored and keep track of any other beings located in the area with the efficiency of a geographic coordinate system. The bodycam's frame rate was high enough to keep flashes of light invisible to the naked eye, these captures could even be projected holographically if I ever needed to.

But the feature with the best potential, although still in its testing phase, were the new modes I've managed to add to my Omnitrix, currently being only three.

First one being Factory mode, which was the mode I previously used to disable the outer shell and cosmetics for easier operation and modification. This was the foundation of everything, all thanks to the omni-key.

Next one being Stealth mode, which initially would merely turn my Omnitrix invisible and help me avoid having to talk about it when the summer vacation ended, but now I could use the Predator's cloaking device to make it capable of turning my entire body invisible, though unfortunately not yet intangible so my Ecnourite (Ghostfreak) form still had that going for it.

Finally, last but not least, uniform mode, which gives my human form a transformation like uniform while storing my previous attire. Some of its features included some foot and hand wear that gave me flight ability via channeling my mana into propulsion thrusters, plus a visor with an interface that gave me real time access to my private database.

Along with a portable system, which would eventually become a mode in itself, that made use of my innate Anodite energy to power some automatic defenses and armbands for my Charms and the Archamada Book of magic, mostly because I didn't really wanted to rely on the Omnitrix's energy feedback to save me from a really dire situation.

The next mode I was still working on with Alpha would be a system that could zoom into my targets microscopically and break down their DNA to reveal its biology. I mean, the watch could technically already analyze samples if it came into contact, but it really wasn't all that practical.

Sure, I could have the yellow scan in no time with just a bit of effort from my smartest transformations, however, I was really busy with two massive projects that I couldn't wait to finish. First of which was my take on the Biomnitrix, or as I've personally nicknamed it, Project Aggregor.

Why did I choose that name? Funny thing for you to ask.

You see, originally, fusions in Ben 10 were nothing but a glitch in the Omnitrix once Ben mistakenly forced the watch's dial protection out of it. It resulted in unwanted combinations between the original ten aliens, like Stink Arms, Diamond Matter and Heat Jaws.

Later on, besides the occasional experiment Dr. Animo created after getting a few samples from the Omnitrix, the next appearance of fusion came with Omniverse's Ben 10k and his Biomnitrix. Official data claims that after having lost his childhood happiness of being a hero at the age of 20, Ben had an enlightenment. At some point after his change in attitude, he would develop a secondary functioning Omnitrix with the help of his smarter aliens.

However, despite being a combination of DNA much more controlled than the accident that happened in the classic series, it still seemed to nerf certain beings if combined with others, like it did with Atomic-X.

As for me, I had seen a better concept of mixing two or more species together in Aggregor.

Sure, the guy had a machine specifically built to let him assimilate five species into his Osmosian physiology, but even young Kevin was used to kickstart the Rooters Hit Squad, so Osmosian DNA clearly was the key to achieve my goal here.

Since I took a sample from Kate and the Omnitrix had already done its magic in order to produce a pure Osmosian transformation for me, I was already halfway there. As for the machine, building it was not the hardest part, what had been taking me nights of sleep was how in the hell was I going to integrate it with my Omnitrix.

That is, until now. Now that I had gained a better understanding of the watch's inner workings and had the help of my loyal Alpha, it was only a matter of time. Lucky me I got a prototype ready for testing days before the end of season one.

Manually I could activate the fusion by selecting the Osmosian transformation and the Omnitrix would carry on to that form, unlocking the DNA pool of genes for me to absorb with the added hardware of project Aggregor helping me with getting 100% of each species while also protecting my mental state.

Out of the original ten, through trial and error, I confirmed that for now I could only handle two extra transformations at a single time, although once I finished my next project I hoped that limitation would be completely solved.

Now, onto my favorite fusions this far.

First being an amalgamation of Petrosapien and Pyronite DNA, or Diamond Blast for the uninitiated.

Appearance-wise, I had a skeleton body made of crystal-like minerals with molting plasma running over it like a volcano which could instantly be turned into a frozen river if I so wished. Power-wise, I literally had the combination of both forms, the advantage I had was having a larger spectrum of energy for me to manipulate at the same time, and a sturdier yet easily malleable body.

Sadly, affirming anything more than that would require further research and field experience, the second being a limiting factor for now.

Next, the mixture of both Lepidopterran and Piscciss Volann samples, or Stinky Jaws if you still haven't caught on.

Not gonna lie, I had some fun with this one, it was sort of a loser's club for the two least used transformations, only missing a bit of Vulpimancer (Wildmutt) here. Sadly neither fish nor fly meshed all that well with the dog.

But I digress.

Picture regular Piscciss Volann form, with two water tanks in its gills, standing with two extra arms, four tentacle-eyes that also served as a fluorescent anglers, a fish tail with a stinger at the tip and wings that easily adapted to fins while underwater.

Pretty neat, isn't it? Well, I think it is. Moving on.

Third being a cross between Ectonurite and Galvanic Mechamorph, or how could I put it… Death Machine? Meh, Ghostfreak and Upgrade.

Yeah, despite ghostly powers being very useful with all the other transformations, I must say none combined so well with these two problematic transformations. Not that I would have risked giving Zs'Skayr any more power than he already had, only after triple-checking that the failsafes were well adjusted I proceed with any testing.

But now that I fixed the inorganic problem with half of these transformations, the sum of both tech and protoplasm made this quite the poltergeist powerhouse. Appearance wise, I resembled a variation of an Ectonurite (ghostfreak) ghost with purple holographic lines that also lit up my claw and eye, with symbols spreading all around my body.

Fourth, I got quite the result with mixing both Galvan and Kinneceleran form, which I dubbed Grey Speed, or I don't know, Grey Matter and XRL8. The names were getting harder and harder for me to come up with.

But this was the thing I needed back when I was working with the Limaxes' ship, which I now had successfully reverse engineered. Appearance wise, I looked like a kid with an athletic build, my legs were more straight for me to make great leaps, my feet could adjust its grasp over the spherical wheels for me to better stick to a surface, had a motorcycle helmet that protected my more rounded head and a tail that also aided me with swimming. But it all came down to the fast reflexes and superior intellect remaining intact.

Fifth, I got Wild Punch from mixing Vulpimancer (Wildmutt) and Tetramand (Four Arms) genes.

Tall, muscular, sharp quills, thick skin with fur, four strong arms with powerful claws, the best part was that my sharp sense wasn't hindered at all by the fact that I now had four eyes.

Sixth, Fast Fly, merging both Kinneceleran (XRL8) and Lepidopterran (Stinkfly) form.

Basically your typical Lepidopterran (Stinkfly) form with green glowing spherical wheels at the tip of my two sets of limbs from top to bottom, leaving my upper set of arms still free. As for my wings, which aided me even while I was running over any surface they now moved so fast that even I couldn't see them, and that's saying a lot with both superior insect sight and speedster reflexes.

Seventh, Red Flash, both Tetramand (Four Arms) and Kinneceleran (XRL8). Boy does this blue speedster blend well with just about anyone.

This time I could quite easily shower my enemies with my Pegasus Meteor Fists, better yet, I could take quite the beating back if my opponent was quick enough to give me some trouble. The appearance of this fusion wasn't all that creative, if you google the mix between these two you would most likely get something very similar. A red larger dinosaur with four arms that was just as fast and bulky as you would expect from each species individually. As for the spherical wheels on my feet, they could easily be stored away if I wanted some grip with my feet.

Eighth, Smart Tech, both Galvan (Grey Matter) and Galvanic Mechamorph (Upgrade).

Surprised how this combination was never really a thing in the original series. I mean, the Galvan themselves were already getting to speak with machines they themselves created, which must be weird given if I'm not mistaken their species was said to believe that they had been made by robot gods or something like it, so why not also integrate with them. Kinda like the green/synthesis ending of the third Mass Effect game.

I digress once again. This fusion was literally a conglomeration of nanites with the ability to mimic Galvan physiology, down to their hyper intellectual ability. I don't know if it sounds lame, I just care that it will help lessen my workload and I like it a lot for that.

Now going past the original ten and testing a bit with the new toys I got…Ninth, Buzz Tech, a natural bonding with Nosedeenian (Buzz Shock) and Galvanic Mechamorph (Upgrade) DNA.

Electric powers with technopathy? Yup, sign me up. This mixture worked so well, and the appearance changed barely anything that I quite literally planned to just make it my base form for my Galvanic Mechamorph (Upgrade) transformation.

Finally, the last combination that got my interest was a mixture between both Lenopan and Glamourian's DNA, which I dubbed Mud Doll.

Yeah, who would've guessed that illusion powers were a good match for a shapeshifter sludge. Appearance? The hell were you expecting? I could be anything I wanted, but if you must know my base form was a pitch black puddle of mud with several porcelain masks spread all over me. Kinda like Grayroad from the Seven Deadly Sins Anime/Manga.

Any fusion beyond this point had just proven to be either just too redundant or not that significant for me to trouble myself with cataloging and coming up with a name for it.

At the moment I should go back to my group, I think they might be getting up by now.

SLEEPAWAY CAMPER

A FEW HOURS EARLIER…

GWEN'S POV

It was midnight at a campsite by a lake and in the Rust Bucket, everyone was sleeping soundly... or at least that's what I want to say.

Max was snoring like a foghorn that was keeping both me and Kate completely awake, as we were tossing and turning in our beds, Kate groaned and covered her face with her pillow, which did nothing. I tried pulling the covers over my head, but it was no good.

Looking at the front seats, I was surprised to see that Ben was sleeping soundly while laying so close to grandpa.

"Hey, Lucy?" I finally whispered over my bed to see if she was also sleeping. "Psst! Are you awake?"

"I am now." Lucy groaned after I began shaking her bed and I looked to see Kate still tossing and turning on the couch, her headphones still failing to block out the snoring with an angry expression on her face.

"Grandpa's snoring is killing me." Kate half-whispered. "I can't fall asleep. What are we gonna do?"

I sighed and dropped my box of tissues. "Stuffing these in my ears didn't work at all. How were you sleeping, Lucy?"

Lucy then just gave me an eye smile before answering. "I can remove my ears, you know."

"That's not fair!" I said as I gestured to my grandfather snoring and gestured to my bloodshot eyes, looking clearly uncomfortable. "I really need my beauty sleep."

Max's snoring was still way too loud for both me and Kate to sleep, we both took our sleeping bag and pillow out before walking out to avoid the noise.

"Looks like a nice day to sleep outside." Kate said while taking the words out of my mouth.

"It can't possibly be worse than back there." I said, unknowingly jinxing us both. For that was right when the sky started flashing with lightning and thunder before the rain came pouring down, much to our dismay.

"You've got to be shitting me!" Kate almost shouted. "Way to go princess. No one ever told you about speaking too much?"

"I-I…I'm sorry. I totally forgot about it." I genuinely apologize, having already noticed this bad habit of mine.

Kate quickly calmed down and answered back while pinching her nose. "No…I'm sorry, I shouldn't have shouted at you, I'm just too tired."

We then tried everything back in the Rust Bucket to get some sleep without waking Ben, tossing and turning, wrapping our heads in a sweater, putting ourselves in a sleeping bag, Kate putting a Cereal box on her head while I tied the pillow to mine with a belt, none of which worked in the least.

"Deep fried tentacles…" Max mumbled, clearly savoring his dream.

"This isn't working!" I whisper-shouted before I recalled some magic tricks I've learned. 'That's it! I'll use a shrinking spell so we both can sneak into a nice quiet place on the RV.'

Once I got Kate's attention and explained my plan, I led us both to the bathroom and I half-whispered a spell Ben had taught me, though I must've mispronounced something because it didn't exactly go as planned.

Instead of shrinking down, we both assumed half-aquatic features like gills and webbed hands, and even an angler that reminded me of Ben's aquatic transformation.

"Aw man. I thought you said Ben had taught you this spell." Kate said while checking out her own aquatic features.

"He did…" I tried to explain whilst keeping my voice down. "It's just that I don't have his photographic memory. I must've mispronounced something."

"I bet he knows some sort of sound canceling spell or something like that." She argued before asking me. "Now what are we gonna do?"

As soon as she said that, her gills started flexing and his angler started glowing as she got an idea and we both snuck out again.

Not long after…

"Ah. Peace and quiet..." I said as we both started to go to sleep underneath the lake with a contented sigh.

————————————————————————

SURVIVAL SKILLS

Max got out of the RV to see Ben and Kate sitting around a campfire as Lucy was trying her best at learning how to draw properly on the table.

"Hey, Grandpa, check it out," Ben said as Kate helped him finish the fire.

"Whoa, look at that." Max said as Kate's stomach grumbled.

"I've been starting campfires since I was six years old. My father used to take me camping from time to time." Kate said melancholically before the fire was suddenly completely doused by a gush of water.

"Seriously?" Lucy shouted as she stood up and saw Gwen standing over the pit with her water gun in hand. "That's supposed to be my kind of prank!"

"Gwen, we needed that fire for dinner." Max scolded her, not really understanding where all this childish behavior came from.

"No problemo. If Kate here can start a fire without any powers, it should be a piece of cake for a sorceress supreme here!" Gwen said, while preparing a small handbook she had been writing after her classes with Ben.

"No magic, Gwen. I want a fire built by Gwendolyn." Max ordered with his arms crossed.

"And don't think of asking me for help either." Ben said as Kate glared. "I already had to save you from drowning in the lake when you two went mermaid to get some sleep."

"How'd you know we were in trouble again?" Kate asked, still finding it a bit weird.

"Twin cousin telepathy. It's just an ability we have for sharing the same birthday." Ben replied in a jokingly kind of way, but didn't elaborate any further about the real reason.

"I'm going to mess you up if you mess this up, princess." Kate said half threateningly as she entered the RV.

Gwen rolled her eyes before she set the logs back up and then started banging a rock against the flint, only to get no results. She started banging them together even faster, only to knock the logs over. Gwen then tried to rub Ben's bow against a stick to generate heat, only to break the stick and she threw the bow away.

After getting some smoke from the wood, Gwen quickly decided to blow on it, only to send a cloud of smoke to get her into a coughing fit.

Gwen then tried slamming the rocks against each other even faster... only to accidentally slam her thumb with a rock, sending her leaping up in pain before she threw the rocks down in frustration and shouted out in anger, only to send the rocks bouncing onto her leg, causing her to shout out in pain.

"That is it!" Gwen shouted as she flipped through the pages of her handbook. "What Grandpa doesn't know won't hurt him."

She then found the perfect spell, which lit up her hand in fire before she shot a firebolt into the pit.

"Perfect." Gwen cheered, proud of finally getting the spell right.

"Took her long enough." Ben said as the others got up from their seats inside the RV.

"Uh-oh." I said while trying to dismiss the incantation. "Time to blow this candle! I don't recall Ben teaching me this part."

I kept shaking my hand as if the speed and wind would be enough to extinguish the flames in my hand, only for that heat to travel all the way to my hair, lifting up strands of my red hair without burning them. "Oh man! This would be so cool if I wasn't in a hurry to turn it off."

She then ran away as the others were about to gather around the fire.

"Wow. Now that's a fire." Max said. "Nice work, Gwen... Gwen?"

"Gwen?" Lucy asked as she looked around. "Where'd you go? Let's fix dinner!"

"Go back! Go back! Any time now!" Gwen said on a tree branch, blowing wind on her hair as the fire began spreading through her body, until she eventually smelled that something was actually burning. "What is that? Don't tell me I'm going bald!"

The branch suddenly broke from underneath her and she crashed to the ground, revealing herself to the others.

"You are so busted!" Lucy said laughing.

"Now put that fire out and start over." Max ordered.

"But Grandpa." Kate said. "I'm starving! It'll be morning by the time Gwen gets that fire started."

"...Not necessarily!" Ben said with a smile before Max could think of anything.

Soon after, the others smiled as they roasted marshmallows over Gwen's fiery hair as she grumbled under her breath while trying to start the fire with the rocks again.

————————————————————————

HIJACKED

LUCY'S POV

The Rust Bucket parked itself at a gas station and Gwen, Ben, Kate and Max stepped out and looked back at Lucy.

"Okay, Lucy. We'll be back in ten minutes." Max said. "Don't break anything in the RV while we're gone."

"Please. What can I possibly break in ten minutes?" I asked.

"Stranger things have happened. And please, stop doing that jinxing while you can." Gwen stated with a sigh as the gang went into the gas station and I continued playing with Ben's video games in my beds.

Little did we know, two robbers were lurking behind some garbage cans and nodded to each other in confirmation of the plan.

As I put my control down and yawned, my head hit the pillow and soon after I fell asleep.

The robbers then stole inside the Rust Bucket and immediately drove off.

"Wow!" I said as I jolted up from my two-second nap. "That was fas-Hey! What do you think you're doing?"

"There's a kid in here!" The white-haired robber shouted.

"You two picked the wrong RV to hijack!" I announced, clenching up my fist and rolling up my sleeve.

"Hear that? The kid thinks she's tough." The robber wearing a beanie said as he and his partner laughed.

"Ooh, no! Maybe she'll throw her diaper at us!" The one from before added.

The two robbers only continued to laugh, not noticing the muddy transformation happening behind them. They looked behind them to see a purple looking mud girl standing behind them, smirking wickedly.

"Nobody jacks my ride!" I shouted as I leapt into action and beat up the robbers, making them let go of the wheel.

"Oh no!" I shouted before grasping wheel, steering just out of the way of an oncoming truck. "Whoa, that was close."

Suddenly, a blast of pressured air hit her in the face, causing her to shout out as the robbers hit her with a fire extinguisher.

"Yeah, hold her, Frank!" One of the robbers said as he struggled to get up.

"I can't see!" I shrieked as the Rust Bucket made an illegal U-turn and started driving backwards.

Quickly making my move, I accidentally hit a button, which somehow made the Rust Bucket go really fast, sending the robbers flying back into the backseat and we sped our way right back to the gas station.

"WHOA!" I shouted before hit the same button again and the RV came to a complete stop.

I only looked at the robbers again and cracked my knuckles, not really concerned what was that button I had just pressed.

As the others walked on in, they stoped to look at the disheveled state of the Rust Bucket after that whole debacle.

"What the…?" Max asked as Kate only sighed and Gwen actually facepalmed.

"Um, I can explain this." I said.

"I don't wanna hear it, Lucy." Max said, taking the driver's seat. "I can't leave you alone for two minutes, can I?"

"But Grandpa, I-" I started before Max cut me off.

"No buts, Lucy." Max said as the Rust Bucket drove off, leaving behind two tied up robbers by the garbage cans with a sign that said 'Arrest Us' attached to Frank.

"We'll steal an RV. It'll be easy." One of them mocked.

"Aw, shut up!" The other said before groaning in defeat.

Later on Ben helped me explain what had really happened and he fixed the RV with his technological liquid guy.

————————————————————————

HANDLE WITH CARE

KATE'S POV

The family were in a very famous art museum in Chicago as most were examining the pieces of art around them. I, however, looked unbelievably bored out of my wits.

"Ah!" Gwen said, looking at a set of bejeweled eggs. "The world-famous Fabergé egg collection."

"I've actually heard of these." Ben said, admiring the eggs. "They're imported from the St. Petersburg Gallery in Russia, I see. Originated in the late 19th century when a Russian tsar gifted one to his wife. The subsequent eggs were made with precious metals and stones with a surprise in the center of each one."

"Precisely! Each one of them is engraved by hand so no two eggs are the same." Gwen added as she now really enjoyed Ben's knowledge.

Me, however, snored at the explanation as Gwen groaned.

"You know, Kate, it wouldn't kill you to learn a little this summer." She told me. "We already got one air head in Lucy."

"Hey!" Lucy faking concern.

"Girls. That's what museums are all about." Ben said. "Learning."

That was the point where an explosion occurred by the wall, sending smoke and dust everywhere as the patrons ran for the hills. Two thieves emerged from the smoke and started loading all of the bejeweled eggs into bags as the team stood by and nodded as the girls all activated their respective powers.

The thieves looked to see Lucy in her Lenopan form and me as I pulled up my hoodie in the corner with Gwen floating on her hoverboard with a domino mask and a book in hand.

"You know!" Gwen smirked. "I love my Eggs Benedict as much as the next gal, but maybe that's not what you had in mind with these things."

One of the thieves simply growled and tossed an egg at them, which the group ducked under and Lucy leaped forwards and caught the egg in her hands.

"Hey, guys. How about we save the eggs by not breaking them!" Lucy shouted. "I don't want to be blamed for breaking stuff again."

"Touchy, touchy." I said as I absorbed the metal and bejeweled materials, placing the egg back on its pedestal. "There. Satisfied?"

As they all ran forwards, the thieves ran ahead and tossed the eggs at our heroines, as Gwen shouted out and swiftly caught them in her arms and then carefully wrapped her jacket around her body as a makeshift pouch to catch them.

The thieves suddenly tackled her hovered, forcing her to send the bejeweled eggs flying once again and the team shouted out as Lucy ran forwards and caught the eggs in a basket made of her muddy sludge with a sigh of relief.

The team shouted out as the thieves attempted to tackle Lucy, but Gwen summoned a magical spear just in time and brawled the thieves and swatted them back into each other as I ran in and slammed them with my metal fists, knocking them out.

As everyone gave out a sigh, the girls and I then carefully placed the precious eggs on their pedestals and everyone sighed in relief as we changed back, before both Ben and Max congratulated us for our excellent performance.

"Okay, I wanted to go to the water park." I said while trying to make my case. "This stuff happens to us whenever we go to a museum."

"Yeah, our track record is sort of intact for thieves breaking in anywhere we go." Lucy smiled as everyone chuckled. "We should consider ourselves lucky for this time being just regular criminals."

————————————————————————

MC's POV

Back to my nearest safe house…

Once my mud clones brought me the improved Transmodulator I've acquired from my first foe-turned-ally and which I had spent so much effort into upgrading, I couldn't help a maniacal smirk from creeping out through my face. "Since it was my favorite gimmick with the Omnitrix, I will test you out first."

Through the output of the Transmodulator, the machine would affect any species targeted, profoundly changing the DNA of the target. The way in which the tissue is changed would depend on whichever "phase" the machine was set on; it essentially had two modes it could switch to.

Phase #1 was what I had been working on, the very same that created and accelerated mutations at the Genetic Level. The catch was making sure I would remain sentient and not simply go berserk once I used the machine on the transformations I had currently unlocked, for you see, despite there being no such side effect with Albedo's Ultimatrix, not talking about the transformations developed sentience, Dr.Animo's machine was considerably more impressive.

I mean, sure, Ultimate Humongossaur could defeat at least a hundred of his own regular species and face his own natural predator, but Dr.Animo's creatures were just on a whole different level. Just think about his bullfrog, the animal went from being prey to birds and snakes all the way around to become capable of facing a prime example of a tetramand (Four Arms).

The safehouse I found myself working in this time was well equipped with plenty of security barriers in case something went off really badly, but one specific place inside it was specifically built to withstand me going all out with my most powerful forms. Not that I couldn't easily escape it through less direct means, but alongside the extra failsafes I've programmed with Alpha it more than fulfilled its purpose.

"Now…" I said after I finished installing the new feature onto my watch. "Who should I try first? Brains or tech?"

Took me a moment to ponder about which would benefit me from being the first, either were capable of going through all the security I've prepared to keep me here, so in either cases I would be running against time.

After setting the timeout function to forcefully turn me back to human after a single minute, I selected my recently fixed Galvanic Mechamorph (Upgrade) form and initiated the process.

What came next was a strange feeling, it kind of resembled how it was for me to turn into the base form, with all the black and green pattern covering my skin before I separated myself into what felt like a billion pieces, though this time it was much more…intense.

In less than a second I assumed my new form, with the Omnitrix symbol unsheathing four spikes in a diagonal directional formation. I was sort of similar in shape to my regular transformation, if not almost twice as big, however this time instead of pitch black I was colored like silver with the green lines now being projected over me as if they were a hologram. Oh, besides how durable my nanites were I could also feel that my energy level was really off the charts, mostly likely a result of evolving the Nosedeenian (Buzzshock) pieces of DNA I've added to the mixture.

Spending half a second to appreciate that my personality was preserved, I immediately noticed something starkly different from before. Inspecting my appendages I casually shifted its density from clenching all my nanites together to turn it into solid metal to separating them far enough to either become a metallic cloud or just a detachable part of me that I could control remotely. Not only that, but my nanites could also mimic different materials, from organic to inorganic appearance.

"Hmm…" I said, immediately noticing the fully robotic voice I now had. "…full conscience control over my nanites. Does this mean I can now upgrade tech remotely as well?" I followed the same train of thought by disappearing into a cloud of metallic smoke before reappearing somewhere else. "Teleport, check! Next, I wanna see lightning and I wanna see thunder."

Just as I finished saying that, the symbol of the charm of Electrokinesis lit up inside my eye and powerful blasts of energy scorched the containment walls of the room I was in, damaging it even more than I had initially anticipated. Next I tried to shout and activate the sound wave I once produced as a Nosedeenian (Buzzshock), however instead of making a mouth for that purpose, I felt each and every single one of my nanites vibrate insanely fast in a single devastating pulse releasing a powerful electromagnetic shockwave. The damage that followed wasn't as focused as my previous lightning blast, but it more than made up for it by covering the entire room with visible deep cracks and probably fried some of my prepared failsafes protocols.

Before the timeout function pulled me out of this transformation, I managed to quickly test how fast I was while turning myself into basically living energy, as I was doing so I even felt that I could connect myself with the worldwide system of computer networks just as the beep came and a bright red flash engulfed me.

"T-1000, Ultron…can I even absorb and convert other Galvanic Mechamorphs? If so, Malware as well. What a massive success!" I told myself, casually dodging some of the debris that began falling from the ceiling while immediately storing all the data I've collected for further study. "How about…Godmachine? Nah, I will just stick with calling it Ultimate Galvanic Mechamorph."

Next I went with the brains, probably the main reason for how I've managed to get this far with my secret research. Activating the Transmodulator and selecting the Galvan (Grey Matter) transformation, I immediately felt the same intense sensation, as if I was going on the most hardcore roller coaster of my life.

Once the process was finished, I was surprised to not find myself the spitting image of M.O.D.O.K from Marvel. Instead, I found myself sort of resembling the legendary Jedi himself, Master Yoda. I mean, safe for the skin color that now was albino like, and no hair or even goblin ears.

At first I was almost worried that this was going to be my first failure amongst these ultimate forms, given how the slight increase in size was insignificant compared to my other forms, I eventually figured it out that I could still breathe underwater and that my intelligence was improved in different ways.

First of all, I could finally understand how luck probability really worked and how I was up until that point really abusing it, having failed to notice earlier that several of my calculations were slightly off, not enough to produce immediate failures but definitely sufficient to produce undesirable side effects that would only get worse in the future. I could finally make precise deductions that would lead me to understand how the Omnitrix really worked, and why so many people who tried to copy it like Albedo got it wrong. Not only that, but I could also logically deduce how my other ultimate transformation would evolve.

Next was that I could finally recall more detail of my previous life, but since I found myself no longer caring about it, for now I decided to ignore that really personal subject.

Finally, the final difference I noticed in my enhanced intellect was how fast I was thinking, I mean, just now I was watching one final debri detach itself from the ceiling before super slowly making its way down to the floor. Unfortunately I couldn't move as fast as my Kinneceleran (XRL8) form, with my body noticeably dragging a bit as if I was submerged in water, but it still was sufficient to catch the piece of rock while immediately balancing it with a single finger.

The last surprise of this ultimate transformation came when I tried to use my Anodite energy. With the symbol of the charm of Telekinesis glowing on my forehead as if it was a third eye, I finally realized one of my previous dreams, more specifically the one of being like a master Jedi, using the force to levitate pebbles. I know, it doesn't sound all that epic after everything I've been through in this second life, but I just knew telekinesis was the tip of the iceberg with this transformation.

After going through the minute that almost felt like a day, I managed to discover more abilities like "Force Athleticism", which almost made up for my slower body, "Psychometry", which revealed me plenty of information about objects and people like their ultimate weakness, or what I called "Shatterpoint". I also had some success with "Mind Projection" and most likely expected the same level of accomplishments from "Mind Probe". Worst part of this experience was realizing how stupid I was to think that this room could hold my ultimate transformations for even a minute. It felt like growing up and being shown your drawings and writings from the time you were just a kid, despite feeling proud of it back then I could barely understand what I was thinking.

Since I had the time to spare, I recorded a couple of instructions to improve all of my projects, including this one with the ultimate forms. After I was finished and the minute was still not over I decided to meditate until my time was up.

Going back to human form felt like a dream, so many details of my environment were no longer noticed by me. But I understood that this was a mistake on my part, not accounting for how extreme the difference between my ultimate transformations and my Homo Sapien physiology was bound to produce unwanted side effects such as this strange feeling.

Fortunately I got the plans of how to improve it right away, and with Alpha's help I didn't have to leave the containment room I was currently in nor did it take it all that long to complete it. After it was finished, with alI the alterations triple checked I resumed my research.

Unfortunately not all species were ready to be experienced with, anything outside of the original ten was still not exactly well studied for such a leap in capabilities, and my Ectonurite (Ghostfreak) form was still a massive liability for now. But that still left me plenty of options to choose from, so from there I decided to pay homage to my first transformation after getting the watch.

Selecting the sample of Pyronite (Heatblast) DNA, I activated the process and was satisfied to notice that the process was much smoother than before all thanks to my recent improvements.

As usual, my appearance was the first difference I noticed. This time, besides the obvious increase in size, it appears my fiery red and icy blue modes had fully merged together, granting me a purplish/lilac color to my plasma energy which circulated around my stone body. On top of that change, by default I also formed what appeared to be a natural jetpack from behind my back, and my rock-like skull now had a crest that looked like a crowned helmet similar to one Sauron from LOTR used in his physical form. The rocks of my body were gray in color and their disposition through my chest, shoulders, forearms and shins really made it resemble some adorned armor.

"Nice, I could be the king of these candle heads." I wondered while raising my hand and I noticed that the energy it produced behaved very weirdly. Sometimes it felt like the original blazing energy from before, others it appeared as if made of actual light. Casting a casual fireball against the furthest wall, I witnessed how my destructive power had been increased, to the point where I saw solid stone either melt instantly or just atomized it to dust. "Scratch that…I should be their God."

After quickly running through the basics, I figured I could more easily shapeshifter my body, giving me extra glowing limbs or also produce weapons like a stone cannon and a plasma sword. Not only that, but if I clenched my stony segments together, I assumed what I could describe as a natural stealth mode, where all the glowing plasma was hidden from sight. Pushing that concept even further and I quite literally became a meteor. Although this spherical form was optimal to bounce around, I could still fly at incredible speeds and explode on impact just before reassembling back to my humanoid shape in a smoky tornado of ash and cinders.

With the pyrokinesis charm glowing on my chest I could also use my energy to either freeze or burn, mentally control solid and liquid rocks, which I used to repair all the damage I've made to the room I was currently inside, as well as manipulate and produce ice with considerably more ease. Another trick I've been dying to test it out on was producing automated golems like the ones made by Charmcaster.

By using the spells I've learned from the Archamada book, and a bit of the power from the Charm of Resurrection, I've managed to raise a small army of those beings from different types of material and energy. Outstandingly enough, I could also channel my mana to produce nearly indestructible force fields of plasma and even conjugate actual wormholes by deploying pieces of my skeleton made of stone to produce circular structures to inscribe the necessary runes. Sadly, I still couldn't find a way to reach Ledgerdomain, but I assumed it was due to lacking the proper knowledge not power.

I was about to wonder if these structures would remain even after I switched back to my human form until the familiar beep soon answered that question for me, resulting in the option of finally linking all my Safe houses with portals for easy access regardless of where I was.

"Who would've thought that this transformation would also mix so well with my magic?" I told myself, recalling the time I've spent with Gwen while showing her my Petrosapien (Diamonhead) form. "Which means that I really must compare these two."

Selecting my mineral based transformation and putting it through more than a millennia of evolution, I was pleased to see that the strange feeling during transformations had been completely removed. Honestly at first I was just expecting to become Chromastone, but after considering it further during my time as Ultimate Galvan (Grey Matter), that not entirely correct expectation was immediately readjusted.

Standing twice as big as my regular Petrosapien (Diamondhead) form, I noticed that my proportions were also slightly different, mainly with bigger arms that almost touched the ground and my body color now appeared to be like light refracting through transparent substances. Despite the increase in size, I felt much lighter than before, not sure if that was because I was considerably stronger now or because I was actually hovering over the ground.

"Sweet. At this point flying is just a quality of life thing for me, and it combines quite nicely with my Charm of Telekinesis." I remarked while noticing I still had the ability to shapeshift the stone in my body, soon after I willingly brought pillars of crystal from the floor, walls and ceiling without having to touch any surface. Flying around the spikes I've created with great speed, I was satisfied to find that despite my bulkiness I was still very agile. "Hmm…How about energy absorption?"

Releasing my mana through my hands resulted in my entire body lighting up in a green flash, whatever blast I released was immediately channeled into the crystal pillars I've just spawned as they acted like some sort of crystal lightning rod. The light kept refracting from one shard to another, leaving several mirror images of myself that would certainly work as decoys. Not only that, but I could also refract the light through my body in a way that allowed me to become either invisible or just blindly bright.

Before my time was up again, I managed to discover that I could also influence these same stone constructs and have them hover near and around me, as if they were sentient drones or crystal batteries for me to use. Which was fortunate, given how if that wasn't the case all that flying advantage I've got would've been limited to the point where I would be stuck hovering near solid surfaces. Icing on the cake was that I discovered that this form could now easily burrow, or more specifically phase, through solid rock as if it was a liquid substance.

As I heard the beep announcing the timeout function, I made a couple of reminders for me to analyze later like spawning living Petrosapiens (Diamondhead) and even terraforming a planet before moving on with the next transformation.

"Four down, five more to go." I said before turning my attention to one of my transformations which could very easily have to interact with its own kind. "Going with classic Ben's favorite alien, the Red Hulk himself."

As the regular Tetramand (Four Arms) form underwent a drastic change, I couldn't possibly stress it enough how surprised I was with the changes my body went through.

First thing, besides standing nearly twice as tall as before, this ultimate transformation of the scarlet giant: "Four Arms", was blue and no longer had four arms.

Yup, not kidding. Granted, the two remaining arms I had were at least twice as big as my previous set, but other than the extra two fingers in the back of my feet there was nothing as noticeable as these two changes. At least not at first, for you see, it didn't take me long to find some extra abilities of this transformation besides the massive boost in strength and durability.

If I ever was to suffer sufficient damage to harm this body, I could now rely on my super regeneration, which supposedly made so there were no fatal injuries that could put me down for good without completely destroying all my cells. Which should be easier said than done once my Charm of Resurrection kicked in.

Not only that, soon I also noticed another peculiarity with my physiology was that I could now overstack muscles not that much different from the Muscular villain from MHA. With the awesome possibility of manifesting extra limbs all across my body, which coming from a couple of specific places wasn't a nice sight to witness, but certainly could prove to be useful if my main set of arms was ever restrained or busy with something else.

Such was my might in this form that I felt the thick walls surrounding posing near to little resistance to my touch. You can bet I was ready to test it against any opponent tough enough to withstand one of my punches, but other than my other ultimate forms I wasn't sure there was anything as durable. Even the mighty Vilgax had found his match against the original "Four Arms", hell, original Ben even defeated a much stronger version of him with base "Diamondhead" after getting enough experience with it.

But that was besides my point here. Trying to speed things up, as soon as I turned back to my human form I immediately selected my Kinneceleran (XRL8) form as the next DNA to be experimented upon.

At first everyone seemed to agree that the base form resembled a blue armored velociraptor with an advanced visor and balls on each foot. But now, it leaned even more heavily on the recent scientific studies about it, which meant I now had long black and white quill-like feathers spread all around my body. Not only that, but similar to how my Petrosapien (Diamondhead) transformation stored energy, I could feel my feathers charged with kinetic energy, with such force I could either fire off these feathers like powerful projectiles or actually propel myself into the air with stupid amounts of speed.

"This isn't flying, it's running, with style!" I told myself while casually flying in circles so fast that the after speed created winds powerful enough to produce deep chasms throughout the stone surfaces. And even if I intentionally tried to crash against anything, I could feel all the kinetic energy being transferred into my feathers, completely cushioning the crash that should've immediately killed me. Better yet, I could also instantly redirect all that kinetic energy back out to whatever just hit me. "My bones and feathers are so light yet so incredibly strong that it reminds me of vibranium. I must be the bird to the Black Panther and Namor's cat and fish metaphor."

Boy, if I had more than enough time to spare with my Ultimate Galvan (Grey Matter) form, now the minute could be extended almost indefinitely if I so wish. Originally that would demand too much stamina out of me in the base form of this species, but now, after some adaptations to my cardio-respiratory system this hyperspeed state just felt like intentionally breathing instead of just passively.

Once what felt like an unending amount of time went by and I noticed it had not even been a single fucking second, which sort of explains why this species had such short lifespan, I intentionally timed out of this transformation and switched for another specie.

"I still got the dog, the fly and the fish to go. Let's see what I get from them." I said before selecting the Vulpimancer (Wildmutt) option and starting the evolution process.

Surprisingly, just like with Ultimate Galvan (Grey Matter) this was another canonically revealed evolution that came out looking different. This time however I didn't acquire the ability to talk, which honestly I couldn't care less since I could just switch to a form that could, besides Alpha was also helping me with unlocking the universal translator from the Omnitrix.

And yeah, I didn't have eyes, but I could actually discern the colors of my fur, which was scarlet, and also the different temperatures of the room I was in. From the brief time I had to test it out, this phenomenon sort of reminded me of what sea urchins were said to possess, currently being one of the few animals that have been shown to see without having eyes. If I'm not mistaken, they are seen using light-sensitive cells in their tube feet, which resemble tentacles and, like their spines, are all over their body.

Besides size, color, some elongated sections of fur, sharper claws and senses, I could also discern some extra features, like the smoke screen ability I had from some glands that released a thick smog from my gills and mouth. Initially anyone would be forgiven for underestimating its utility, but if you take into consideration that I had blindsight, what would be the most useful thing for someone who is "blind"? To make other beings, predators or prey, also blind! Better yet, since I could easily ignore my own scent, this measure even worked on other Vulpimancers (Wildmutt).

Finally, as it is natural for older Vulpimancers (wildmutt) to have tails, so did I, three to be more exact. Each one was prehensile, had a claw at its tip and could be elongated to easily catch any unsuspecting prey or just help me swing around jungle terrains. As for my tracking skill, I could easily sniff the Ruck Bucket's oil from all the way down here, though I still need to experiment with it further, I wouldn't put it beyond what the Shirshus from Avatar was capable of. Speaking of the fictional animal that was a hybrid between an anteater and a star-nosed mole, I also felt that I could shoot my tongue like a whip, if it could also produce any paralyzing effect that still remains to be seen.

Wanting to test another theory I got from that line of thought, I began digging my way through solid concrete, which granted had seen better days before the harsh conditions I have been exposing it during each test of my Ultimate forms. As I kept digging further and further, I could feel through my newfound tremorsense that I was almost leaving the safe area I had prepared and decided to go back before my minute was up.

For now this was more than enough, onto the next Ultimate.

You know, out of all the original ten aliens forms, safe for "Ripjaws" who had been screwed over so badly by the writers of the original series, which by the way was like making Ghostfreak vulnerable to sunlight or not giving Xrl8 both visor and spherical wheels, I always thought that "Stinkfly" was the only one who would easily get obsolete, the moment original Ben unlocked another flying transformation.

However, I've worked hard from the time I got the Omnitrix to make my base Lepidopterran (Stinkfly) transformation very useful on top of possessing the fastest flying speed, though now with Ultimate Kinneceleran (Xrl8) I was unsure about how well would that title hold. Well, at least I've managed to isolate the strands of DNA that gave Clancy his control over insects.

Now, as soon as I activated the evolutionary feature, I felt the world of difference with how I view the world. If the base form had the reach of sight around 360 degrees depending on where I turned each tentacle eye, this time I had the full picture all at once through my dragonfly-like eyes. Just like with my Galvan (Grey Matter) and Kinneceleran (Xrl8) transformations, my reaction time was also absurdly fast but somehow I felt now that this form had the slight edge in regards to visual perception.

Besides my incredibly heightened visual sense, I was surprised to see how much of a metamorphosis I have gone through to end up looking like a fusion between a horned beetle with a armored knight/samurai while standing at the size of a regular Tetramand, with my exoskeleton feeling incredibly light despite its massive hardness. On top of that, I quickly confirmed that my massive wings weren't just for show, and that there actually was a noticeable increase of my flying speed without sacrificing all that much mobility.

Also, not only did my body now produced slime much faster to the point where I think I could actually fill this massive room I found myself in, but also that I could control its production to the point where I could make it either so sticky that it solidified itself into stone-like formations or make it so inflammable that it became explosive, with the latter being something I could threaten any foe with my syringe-like stinger that reminded me of a scorpion's tail or through some slime dispensing stocks I had next to my abdomen that could be picked off and thrown like grenades.

Took me a bit of foreknowledge from my time as Ultimate Galvan (Grey Matter) to understand that I also had the ability to store and hatch alien-insects inside my body. By my expectations I now had approximately 10,000 parasitic eggs, which I could willingly hatch in my esophagus before sending out, through my mouth. Of course this didn't come for free, for I estimated I spent 1,500 kilocalories for each one of them and because of this I could not produce more than somewhere around 1,000 insects without recharging my energy. Incidentally, I could also fire off the broken eggs, which explode on impact, like bullets by heating up my breath through shivering and spitting them out. When fired in clusters, they could easily obliterate thick walls of concrete.

"Not gonna lie, all of this was pretty cool, if not a bit sickening, of an upgrade for the stinky bug guy. Makes me feel like an insect manipulator powerhouse like Tommyrod from Toriko." I admitted while talking through my raspy cricket-like mandible. Testing out the abilities I've learned in my base form, I was also glad to see that not only could I produce acidic poisonous gas to keep anything dangerous away but also that my slime could now be more easily turned into silk-like threads of thick and strong webs, despite spiders not being actual insects. "It is as if the Rhino had access to Spider-Man's web shooters and had the necessary dexterity to not be caught in them."

I was about to think that would be all I got from this transformation until something happened, as I was contemplating how this form sort of compromised in between tankiness with speed, I noticed how my exoskeleton fell of and my body quickly went through real-time metamorphosis, switching between growing even bigger to resemble a version of the Big Tick the size of a truck or shrinking down to resemble a humanoid ninja-like dragonfly, both variations turned either endurance and insect production or flying speed and stinging damage up to eleven.

The possibilities of this super fast metamorphosis were dawning on me, with flashbacks of my time reading Terraformers bringing in even more ideas, and I was about to test it even further until I got the beeping sound of the timeout function kicking in. As unnecessary as it was by now, especially with Lucy already knowing about my Lenopan transformation, it still suited my best interests to not linger too much here since my family would soon miss my absence again.

Now, to finish things up since I know grandpa wanted to train me tomorrow morning, I assumed my base Piscciss Volann transformation. As I was immediately glad to see that I now had two water tanks covering my gills, I raised my hand and adjusted the Omnitrix's symbol and pressed it again. The following evolution was just as impressive as the others had been thus far, with an overall glow up that made me wonder if I had by mistake added massive amounts of protein powder into my breathing apparatus.

"Check this out." I said while flexing my massive muscles body that would leave even base Tetramands (Four arms) green with envy. My limbs were proportionately shorter despite my increase in size, but my tail was definitely larger than it used to be while in my merman form, which told me that it could now also be used for some mean tail whip attacks.

It then dawned on me, as I no longer had my water tanks around my neck, that this species had finally evolved out of needing water, or at least it still did without requiring me to constantly be submerged underneath it.

My skin now resembled a mixture between a shark's rough skin and the barbed skin of a puffer fish, with a thick hide that had several protrusion-like spikes spread across my body all the way down to my tail, which I could bet were very toxic to the touch. More than that, I also noticed several lines of modified epithelial cells which not only served as an extension to my angler but also upgraded my water sonar to work even while outside of water.

As I was about to look for more abilities of this form, I instinctively popped my jaw forward and unhinged it around ten feet ahead of my skull. "Wow, I always thought that I was more of a shark than a crocodile. But a Goblin shark is something I never knew would've mixed so well and made my already terrifying form even scarier."

Testing my magic while in this form I was glad to see that my latest improvement with actually producing powerful jets of water from out of my palms still carried on to this evolution, albeit in a more exaggerated fashion. For you see, if my base Piscciss Volan (Ripjaws) form was more akin to both Aquarus from in Invincible and Aqualed from Young Justice, my Ultimate Piscciss Volan (Ripjaws) from now followed the steps of Kisame Hoshigaki from Naruto.

If the training room I had prepared for testing my ultimate forms wasn't so restricting, I think I could very easily produce a body of water the size of a couple of football stadiums which I could make it travel with me. Not only that, but similarly with how my Ultimate Lepidopterran (Stinkfly) form could release actual living insects from its mouth, I found out that I could puff my body up and adapt my physiology to aquatic environment while release a massive school of piranha-looking alien creatures, though the method and origin of these creatures this time wasn't completely clear to me. But the calorie restriction made me assume it must be at the very least similar in its symbiotic nature.

As the Omnitrix's symbol began beeping, I immediately reassembled my body and sucked all the water back, which by itself must be another ability I wasn't expecting to have, and assumed my human form.

Now, thinking of the species I've unlocked outside of the original ten, out of the nine of them I had found only four that had something to add to my arsenal, but even then I still had plenty to work with in my plate. And since soon enough Mr. Conqueror of Ten Worlds will be paying me a visit, I might have to stay low until then otherwise I might miss the perfect window to get my hands on more advanced technology.
