CHAPTER 24:ROCKY VS THE THING

BEN POV

Confusion and more confusion. Yeah that is what I feel right now after one guy who has the same face as Peter Parker suddenly turn into a creature with the emblem is commonly being seen by Zero's shape-shifting beings.

Does that mean Zero is that guy?

Looking at others they are still in deep thought with me sees that Iceman is talking to Laura who lashes out at her.

"It is not him Laura." He said toward the daughter of Logan.

"Yes, it is him, Drake. I recognise his scent." Laura shouted back at him as I decide to get the answer by asking the man himself.

Johnny fight against this guy, no way I call him Peter Parker until I know is truly him.

With the movement, I landed and said my catchphrase I steel my heart to fight him.

If he is indeed Peter Parker, well I will be damned.

PETER POV

My red armour disappear as the entire of my body is now covered in time coloured stone as various patterns can be seen on my body. Two spikes can be seen on my arm and leg with fingers are only 3. The Ultimatrix is at the usual place on my chest as I see Ben who scoffs seeing this.

"So now you are copying my appearance?" He asks me as I just laugh hearing this.

"At least I can change back to my human form at will any time. But that did not apply for you right?" I ask him back as he just put up both of his fists.

"For your information, I can turn into a human once per year." He replied as he rushes toward with a speed that did not match his current appearance.

A punch is aimed at my face as I duck but he already seizes this chance to knee my face I hug his wait and the scorpion kick his head with both of my feet.

We both take a step backwards as I punch his face with him replied by an uppercut on my chin but a kick land on his stomach as I rush forward delivering many punches toward him.

And I can say this, this transformation is not the best one to win against this guy who can fight on the same ground as Hulk.

Even with my enhanced strength, I know using this form of physical strength will not be enough, luckily this guy has his unique ability.

(AN:THIS ALIEN NAME IS ROCKS. YOU GUYS CAN SEARCH IT IN THE BEN 10 WIKI. AND I WILL ADD ADDITIONAL POWERS TOWARD THIS ALIEN)

Ben then backhand me and let me tell you I fly about a kilometre or more away as I landed on the plain ground with me shaking my head as then a big fist landed on my face a kick hit my stomach like this guy pummel me. on the ground without stopping.

Putting my hand on the ground I generate an earthquake that makes Ben lose his balance as I punch him with all my strength pushing Jim backwards for a few meters.

I punch the ground as the ground collapse as Ben jump avoiding that as I predict for him to do that as then a spike push him up high to the sky as this form also let the manipulate the ground itself.

Punching through the ground I pull it out as the ground already merge with it making my fist bigger than him with a tap the ground below me grow to the sky as I am higher than the falling The Thing as I jump off it as it crumbles.

I punch him the moment he almost touches the surface of the Earth as it creates a spider web of crack.

"Payback time bitch." I repay what he did before as the ground shook until my large fist broke as a pinch-hit my face as I land backwards.

The earth shakes many spikes immobilize my opponent from moving but not one pierces his rock body which irks me.

"Tell me who are you?" Ben ask me as I just stare at him as I punch his face not bothering to answer it.

But then The Thing lives up to his name as one of the strongest heroes as his hands destroy all the spikes by swinging them as I get choked by both of his arms.

Good thing that this form enables me to not have difficulty breathing since you know, I am a rock creature. And I am pretty sure I have a neck and esophagus in this form.

"Tell me right NOW!" He shouts at my face.

"Heh. I did not see some tiny rock that acts as your saliva." I joke which just make him increase his grip.

Okay. I am pretty sure the body parts that he holds which is my collarbone is slowly cracking as I just stare at him.

"Geez. You sure cannot take a joke huh buddy? Fine. I am going to tell you this one thing." I said to him in a very serious tone.

His grip soften.

"Your girlfriend sure is one strong woman to support your weight when you are on top of her," I said to him with a smile as then The Thing break my head from my body as he throws away the upper part from my below part.

Gosh. This is seriously one messed up situation. I had to say that to this guy who can lift 100 tons.

"Let's see if you can joke after this one." The Thing said as he destroy my right leg as I did not feel pain at all.

He looks at me as I just want to look like I did not give a damn as then he crushes another one with my expression being the same.

"So how are Valerie and Franklin? Bet they did not talk to you for a long time." I said to him as that make him freeze as he slowly look at him.

"What? I mean their favourite hero is gone, with them blaming you and the other Fantastic Forum for that." I said as my face get grabbed and lifted by him as he glared at me.

"Who are you?" He asks me once again as I just look at him.

"I am the guy who gives Sue flowers and flirt with her in the past. I am the guy who plays with Franklin and Valerie when each of you is busy with your girlfriend, experiment and stuff. And I am the guy who called Empire Strike back an old movie." I told him as his eyes widen as without him noticing my below body part has combined back with my upper part.

Slapping the Ultimatrix, my whole body turn green goo with a flying saucer is hovering above it as I slip my whole body from his grip as a green flash occurs as I turn back to human.

"What's wrong Rocky? You forget your partner during your movie night?" I ask him as he looks at me with a disbelief stare.

"Of course. You forgot me, like the others." I told him.

"No. Nonononono. Y-you. I-I." The Thing is lost in words as he is comprehending the situation as I open my mouth.

"Say Hi to Franklin and Valerie. I am sure he will like the present I give to them." I told him.

"Wait Pete-"

"Ultimatrix. Transform his DNA to human. Remove all the anomalies in his body and save the DNA information you get from him." I said to my watch as my Ultimatrix glow green as it shot a green beam that hit Ben who scream as his body lose all the rock on it.

Now he has become a human with large blue pants as he stares at himself.

"New DNA record is now in the playlist. What do you want to call it?" Ultimatrix ask me.

"Rocky Thing," I replied as it beeped as I approached Ben as I kick his chin knocking him out.

"Goodbye, The Thing. From now on you will never become that guy again Ben." I said as I turn into Stinkfly and fly away.

A black jet landed as the Young Avengers and X-Men quickly bring the unconscious Ben and Johnny to their jet.

"Whew. I am glad that we did not see holes in their stomach." Gambit said as Colossus just smack his head as the others just rolled their eyes seeing this.
