31 CH 30: Ultimate Techtrix (E5)

(A/N: So I've started watching RWBY after seeing how many fanfics there are. And bro, ngl, it's the wackiest animation ever 😭! I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I actually like how interesting it is since I grew up watching Spider-Man the New Animated Series 2003, but it's just so... wacky!

It's like one of those old MMD videos where they'd use fictional characters to recreate Vine memes! I honestly love the animation though. Also, I'm only 12 episodes in, but Jaune is such a bitch. Bro, if you're getting bullied, ask for help! And why the fuck are you rejecting Pyrrha's help when she says she wants to train you, dumbass?! Pyrrha is such a keeper though, bro.

Recommend some good RWBY fanfics please. Just because there are a lot of them doesn't mean that all of them are good.)

--------------------------

Ben walked to Alistair's side :"Today was really weird, huh? First, I get the lecture of the century by Menace of all people, then we're being hunted by space bounty hunters, then you go ultimate or whatever, then we find out you're not even a human to begin with. So weird."

"Seriously weird." Max nodded curiously :"Tetrax didn't know anything about you either, even though you came with the Nemetrix. But the weirdest part is how you can't seem to return to your original form. Hahahaha, but to think you were an alien to begin with."

"Right? Such a plot twist." Alistair chuckled with him, before Gwen raised an eyebrow :"Is it though? I mean, he did come from outer space, so I don't think him being an alien is that weird."

"..." The guys looked at each other, before shrugging :"Guess she has a point." Stretching his new muscles, the noiret groaned :"Well, now with changes comes adaptation. Gotta get used to some things and modify some things."

"Like what?" Ben asked curiously. Smirking, Alistair walked into the Rust Bucket and took off the Techtrix :"All of my transformations can go an extra mile now, remember? So, remember how Techtrix is part of a normal Galvanic Infectoid?"

Gwen grew confused :"Techtrix?" He held up his best creation :"Nemetrix, Omnitrix. I thought I should give this a suitable name. So Techtrix it is." Ben's eyes widened :"So you want to upgrade that into a piece of Ultimate Overdrive?!"

As they followed him inside, Alistair went to the back and took out the miniature version of the device he had used to make the Techtrix. It resembled a microscope to a certain degree, but more fancy and technologically advanced.

"Exactly." Alistair smirked, transforming with a red flash :"[Overdrive!]" Gently smacking the Nemetrix, —because going ultimate wasn't achievable by pushing it— a red light came out of the watch and began to cover him :"Ultimate Overdrive!" Well, what do you know, he could speak now.

Turning the Techtrix into a laser, he cut off a finger. The detached part turned into a small black and red puddle before he placed it under the laser of his device along with the Techtrix. With a red flash, he transformed once again :"Brainiac!" Smirking, the Galvan reached out to his back and gently slapped the watch.

As the light began to travel through him, there didn't seem to be any changes. Until it reached his head. His head, the area above his forehead, took a massive change. Literally. A big third eye appeared on his forehead, and his head began to grow into an enormous size for his size, before a tail twice his height and even thicker than him appeared behind his head. It was like a one eyed snake had fused into Brainiac's head.

(A/N: As I said in the comments, Albedo's Evolved Galvan design was just awful. This one is honestly awesome. Kudos for the artist!)

"Ultimate Brainiac!" His wise voice that spilled intelligence rang out as he floated in the air. He looked like a mature, middle aged Gigachad of the Galvan race. The black line that was usually on his forehead but had moved to his chin looked like a goatee that made him look even better.

"Ugh, this is so unfair." Ben sighed :"Why do you always get the good stuff? You didn't explain anything about these "Ultimate" forms either." Ultimate Brainiac answered while working on his creation :"It's simple, my dear partner.

After the Nemetrix absorbed a piece of ancient technology which was sent here by the ancestors of the species of the alien I currently am, it upgraded to unlock a function which would put my transformations into simulations. Simulations which would subject them into millions of theoretical years of worst scenario in order to see how they would evolve in danger. Which, as you've seen, bears remarkable results."

(A/N: Don't worry, they're not going to become alive suddenly.)

Ben's eyes brightened :"Oooh, I guess I get it! Then what about mine?! How are we going to unlock Ultimate Transformations for me?!" Ultimate Brainiac halted, contemplating on whether to tell him the truth or not. But he decided against it :"I guess we'll only know if we find another piece of what I found, partner. But until then, you must be patient. Also, Benji, I need to warn you."

Turning around, he looked at his best friend awkwardly :"You already know that my device, the Nemetrix, seems to be a lot more complex than the Omnitrix. You've seen how it has a few more functions.

Which is what leads me to believe that piece of Galvan technology didn't just give my watch the Ultimate Function, but just gave it enough power to unlock an already implanted but locked function. So I hope you won't get your hopes too high, in case it doesn't work out like how you want it."

Ben looked reluctant, but sighed in the end :"Alright, I'll try to act mature. But only because you told me to." Smiling at the improvement he was already seeing in his best friend, Ultimate Brainiac floated to stand on his shoulder :"Ben, listen, even if your watch doesn't have that function, I promise that I'll find a way to let you have the Ultimate Function too.

Even if I have to make a completely new watch that has that function built in. You know I'm not stingy with these things. Remember how I unlocked Master Control for you too?"

Ben's disappointment disappeared instantly, excitement returning as he smiled brightly :"Yeah, you're right! Thanks, Al, you're the best friend anybody could have!" Causing Ultimate Brainiac to chuckle :"Glad to know you know my worth. Now, since you're jealousy is out of the way,"

"Hey! I'm not jealous!" Ben huffed, but the Evolved Galvan just floated to his device :"I'll be working on my device." The brunet huffed in annoyance, slumping on a chair as Gwen smirked :"You know he's right." Earning an eye roll.

Poor Max rubbed his neck :"Geez, now we need to drive all the way back to the city again." Ultimate Brainiac looked back apologetically :"Sorry, grandpa Max. I didn't have the time to wait around with the police coming and being suspicious of Tetrax, so I just brought us to the desert."

"It's alright, son." He smiled :"You did the right thing. And it's just a few hours of driving anyway, nothing much." Ultimate Brainiac hummed, before smiling :"Want me to drive?"

Gwen raised an eyebrow :"Huh? But you can't. You're just a... kid... nevermind." She realized her mistake as he smirked. Pinching his chin, Max smiled :"Hey, now that you're older, you —can— help me drive! Do you mind?"

"You don't even need to ask, grandpa Max." Ultimate Brainiac chuckled :"Just give me a few minutes to finish this, then we'll hit the road. You can rest for a bit."

And true to his words, he finished upgrading Techtrix in a few minutes and held it up proudly :"Say hello to the new and better Techtrix!" Ben raised an eyebrow :"You're done already? Wow, it was a lot faster than I expected."

Ultimate Brainiac deadpanned, and side eyed him judgingly :"Benji, say my name."

"Uuh... Ultimate Brainiac?"

"You're goddamn right.

I'm Ultimate Brainiac, the inventor, the genius, the definition of the word "intelligence" and the best version the smartest species in the entire universe could ever hope to achieve. This is nothing for me." As he held up the black and red sleek box, it began to liquefy and turn into an armor around him.

"Cool!" The cousins exclaimed as they looked at the new armor. Black and orange was good, but red always went the best with black armor. Ben asked curiously :"So what's the difference? What can it do now?"

"Glad you asked." Ultimate Brainiac smirked, before turning back to Alistair :"Allow me to demonstrate out in the open." As he walked out, the others followed him curiously. The Techtrix was already awesome as it was when it was just a modified piece of a normal Galvanic Infectoid, they couldn't wait to see what the Evolved Galvanic Infectoid version could do.

"The Techtrix got quite a few new abilities, but I'll just tell you the two main ones. First of all," Alistair held up his hand, and the Techtrix moved in the air to turn into a sport bike :"Is this new ability." Ben, ever so clueless, looked dumbfounded :"So... it can now turn into a bike?"

Causing Alistair to roll his eyes :"No, genius. Remember how the Techtrix functioned? It couldn't turn into anything until it had absorbed that thing. Even if I tried to turn it into something, then it would just fall apart. But now, it's different.

As long as I have the blueprint of what I want it to turn into in my head, the Techtrix will turn into what I want even if it hasn't absorbed that thing! I haven't absorbed a sports bike, remember? But it just turned into one because I had the complete blueprint in my head!"

"Oooh!" The Tennysons wowed in amazement. The difference between the normal version and the evolved version truly was big. The potential of the Techtrix, which was already huge, just became limitless. After all, with aliens like Brainiac and Brainstacean, just what couldn't Alistair think of making? And they could now go Ultimate, which meant they could become even more intelligent.

"And this is the second ability." As he willed the Techtrix to return, it moved to Ben's hands before turning into an MP3 player that Techtrix had absorbed previously. But as if instead of turning into, it had latched onto it like a Galvanic Mechamorph, it pulled away and returned to Alistair's wrist. However, the MP3 player remained.

Their eyes widened at what remained on Ben's hands, causing the noiret to smirk smugly :"Technology Recreation. As long as the Techtrix has absorbed a technology, it can recreate the perfect replica by using itself as material. Remember how it can absorb and turn into substances? It uses that ability. Also, it can create as many as I want, as long as it has enough "biomass", that is. It has a Regenerative Healing Factor by the way, so it can just regenerate its lost biomass."

"That's so cool!" The cousins exclaimed, before Gwen looked thoughtful :"But wait, isn't that also a disadvantage? Wouldn't that mean that the Techtrix wouldn't be able to recreate giant things like spaceships and such since it wouldn't have enough biomass?"

(A/N: Fun fact, I saw myself writing the latter half of the above paragraph in my dream a few days ago.)

Alistair smiled :"Good question. But you see, the Techtrix has a —lot— more biomass than it shows. It's literally heavier than it seems, you could say. You see, the Techtrix not only can regenerate its biomass, it can also absorb substances and technologies and store them as biomass! In the future, forget about a single spaceship, the Techtrix will have enough biomass to make an entire space battalion!"

Max almost frowned :"You have seriously made an extremely powerful device, huh? Good thing it can't fall into the wrong hands with how it can only be used by you." Alistair laughed :"Wrong hands? It can't fall into any hands other than mine! The lengths I went through with the security system on this thing is just absurd! Anyway, now with the little show over, let's hit the road."

He skipped inside before sitting behind the wheel. As everybody got in, Max frowned :"Wait, but you don't even know how to drive." Pulling a scoff from the smirking noiret :"Grandpa Max, please. I'm the peak of the human race. I'm literally smarter and more adaptable to any situation than any fictional human character. For you to think I wouldn't already know how to drive is most amusing. Now you all just sit back and relax while I get us there in a jiffy."
