Chapter 1 The Chaquetrix
Fem A/N: Welp... Looks like our childhoods are on the chopping block today boys... Boys?
Author: Oh their not attending this Chapter today. They're currently running some errands.
Fem A/N:... I'm gonna get shoved into a book story again, aren't I?
Author: You catch on quickly! Though this time it's Ment to happen seeing as I don't exactly plan on including the Tennyson family in this book. I know, but I kind of want to do my own thing here. Within the Ben 10 Universe of course. But who knows I might make a reference to them or something!
Fem A/N: You're being a lot less Murdery this time around. What happened?
Author: I ate a Snickers.
Fem A/N: Ah, now it makes sense... Anyway, the Chaquetrix is gonna be a little different than the original. For starters, the Aliens aren't just going to fall in with the Reader instantly. No ya boy got to work for that first! Secondly, everyone is over the age of 18 so no weird people cleaning their fuckin' twelve or something! Thirdly, the Chaquetrix in this context is a little bit darker, you'll see why here in a minute. Lastly, there might be some new Aliens... Which just might be furries but Ben 10 already had those in a sense. That everything?
Author: Yep, now let's get this story started!
Let's start off with you're sleeping habits... You don't have any since you can't even force yourself to sleep. So it's no surprise you're up in the middle of the night reading a book and drinking coffee. You do have Video Games, Writing, and stuff like that, but you've been meaning to actually Read something rather than just get bloodshot eyes from staring at a screen too long. For context you're an Author with a profitable series of Romantic Novels, that's why you're able to just live out in the woods without having to go to work. The funny thing is, you honestly think the Novels you wrote were straight-up tacky and bland in your opinion, but hey it's profitable for some reason.
Y/N(Internal): Wow... This book is really weird... But an entertaining kind of weird.
You mentally stated as you continued to read the tales about a Woman with powers over the dead tasked to hunt down Vampires that have broken the law. Makes you wonder if there was someone like that out there as you turn the page with your mind using a bit of magic. Yes, you can use Magic, you've been able to do it ever since you can remember. But as you get into that part where the Heroine makes sweet love with one of her Many love interests while taking a sip of your coffee. You hear something outside... Soon after you see your windows light up for a moment.
Y/N: The hell is that?
After muttering that you set your book down as you get up wearing nothing but a white tank top and some black boxers with red heart's on them... What? It was a gift from an old friend don't judge yourself! Anyways you walk outside on your porch to see... A Falling Meteor?
Y/N(Internal): Huh, well you don't get to see that every day. It looks like it'll crash somewhere in the forest. I'll check it out in the morning once it's- WHY DID IT CHANGE DIRECTION!?!?!?
Oh shit! Now it's heading for you! Now I'm not sure about you, but I don't think Meteors change directions Mid-air on a dime like that. So you quickly Leaped off your porch and ran past your car which sadly was hit by the Not-Meteor dead on.
*BOOM!!!*
You shield your face from the explosion as you now see a smoking creator where your driveway used to be... Well more like a dirt path than a driveway, but that doesn't really matter right now. What matters is the fact that you had to see what the hell decided to ruin your car.
Y/N: *Sigh* I swear to god if this is the beginning of an alien invasion...
Man, this day was going fine! You got a new book deal after pitching a Syfy Romance Novel you wanted to make for the longest time which you still don't know the premise for, You finished playing Super Slimer, and You even got a new Coffee Machine WHICH WAS IN THE FUCKING CAR!!! *Sigh* Whatever the case is, you check the creator to see... A Pod? Oh god no...
Y/N(Internal): Please don't be an Alien Baby from outer space...
You mentally brace yourself as you approach the Pod that sits upon the flattened remains of your car with a bit of hesitation. But as you reach it the Pod opens up to reveal... A Watch?

Y/N: What's this? Some sort of knockoff watch from space?
You said to no one in particular as you reached towards it with your hand. Soon after you it suddenly leaped to your wrist and quickly attached itself to you!
Y/N: Ok! I guess it took my comment personally! What the hell!?
Thank god you lived in the woods alone cause you looked a little stupid waving your arm around in your boxers. After a moment you realized it didn't do anything after it attached to your wrist, you calmed down and tried to take it off... Only to find out it uh... It didn't come off.
Y/N(Internal): Lovely... Not only is it pink! But doesn't even tell the time! *Sigh* Alright, I better get dressed and take a hike down to the Ranger's office to see if he can't take this shit off.
You mentally said hoping it wasn't permanently affixed to your wrist. So you head over to your room and get some clothes on.
(I do not own anything in this image.)
Yeah, I know you're not wearing a Green Jacket. Like I said your own dude my guy. Anyways you started to head out making sure you finished off your coffee and turned off the lights before heading out. You walked along the dirt road you often drove down. It was pretty serene if you're going to be honest, you didn't even have to use a flashlight since it was a full moon out tonight, not that you needed it of course. It illuminated the path quite nicely. Hearing the sounds of the occasional hoot from an owl as you listen to your own footfalls was oddly soothing. Yes, this was pretty-.
*Beep!* *Beep!* *Beep!*
Stressful. Ok, what the hell? You checked the watch to see what it was doing. Is it a doomsday device or something!? The center of it suddenly sprang out without warning! It soon started to turn on its own showing various silhouettes of... Uh, Girls? I mean most of them have their hips cocked like they posing for a pinup or something. Before you could even fiddle around with it, the Center stopped around a silhouette of a girl with what looks like Fire for Hair. Then it pushed itself down and without warning! Suddenly a Pink Light suddenly flashed before your eyes blinding the hell out of you.
*Bawooooosh!!!*
Y/N: Gah! What sick joke is this!? Who makes a watch that blinds the person who wears it!?
You shout in frustration as you rub your eyes while leaning on a tree. Once you open your eyes you see... A Creature made of Magma?
Art by averag3artist18
That is... Are you having a fever dream right now? Because that is a Woman made up of Fire and Magma standing right in front of you. She then looked at you for a moment without saying a word.
Y/N: H-hello?
You wave at her waiting for some sort of reply. Instead, her eyes suddenly widened as if she awoke from a daze and she quickly lunged at you intending to deck you with those Extremely Hot hands she has. Needless to say, you quickly ducked under that as her fist collided with the tree.
*SMASH!!!*
Not only did that strike leave a dent in the tree it also set where she punched it on fire. She tried to grab you with her free hand forcing you to quickly sidestepped it and back peddled out of her reach.
???: Where am I!? Who are you!? What planet am I on!?
Well, at least she wasn't trying to kill you out of any want to take over the world or anything! You quickly raised your arms up in an act of nonaggression.
Y/N: W-woah! Easy! You're in a Forest on Earth! My name is Y/N!
The Flame Woman was still on edge as her hands were immediately set ablaze with flames ready to attack at any sign of aggression.
???: Did you bring me here!?
She shouted while still ready for any attempt at an attack. You remain in a non-threatening pose as you point to the device on your wrist.
Y/N: N-no. At least I don't think so... Look! I've got no idea what's going on here. *Points at the device* This thing just started beeping and acting strangely. Then there was this sudden flash of Pink light and soon after you appeared.
You stated, yet that only eased tensions a little bit for the Flaming Woman as she was still very much ready to attack if necessary. However, the two of you watched as a grenade-like device was thrown between the two of you. Before any of you had any time to react it detonates trapping both you and the Magma Woman in some sort of Status Bubble. Soon a man walked out from the treeline lookin' ready for war.
Pic was Done in X-com 2... By me! Hope you like it! Also, it took a ton of mods to do this so pray for my PC's well being XD.
??? 2: That is because the device on your wrist is somethin' called the Chaquetrix. It is a Very well-made knockoff of the Omnitrix and unfortunately for you that ain't comin' off any time soon.
Whoever this man is you're expecting him to say Hoorah at some point. Guy sounded like he kicks ass for Breakfast, Lunch, and Diner. He certainly looks the part with how much Gear he was wearing.
Vouge: Now you two don't have to worry your little heads off. Papa Vouge isn't gonna do jack-diddley squat to ya! *Looks at the Flame Gal* I just felt like Miss Hothead here needed a bit of time to chill out.
If this Fire Woman could flip him off while still frozen in place, she would. The Tough Looking Son-of-a-bitch now known as Vouge looked back towards you while casually carrying that heavy gun over his shoulder.
Vouge: As for you Bucko. Well, let's just say you're lucky you're just some Rando because I would have blown you Sky Fuckin' High! Your Pronouns would have been Was/Were and Here/Over There After I was done with you. *Takes a drag off his cigar* *Sighs out smoke* So here's what's happening, that gizmo on your wrist is currently bound to you and your general DNA structure, Aka Human DNA. That Gal over there is an Alien and she's currently genetically compatible with you thanks to the Chaquetrix. Now unlike the Omnitrix which has a time limit, and definitely functions differently as a whole but that's beside the point, the Chaquetrix requires at least ONE Alien to be out at all times. That's why it automatically summoned this Gal here.
He paused for a moment as he began to Circle around towards the Flame Gal while taking another drag off his smoke.
Vouge: Now here's the fucked up thing about that gadget! You see every Alien Gal in that device was stripped of their memories and shoved into it like some sort of Fucked Up Collection. Whoever made the thing must have been one twisted motherfucker to kidnap women of all the Alien Races in the Universe. Probably pretty powerful too given that they trapped some MEAN Bitches in that thing that could wipe out all of Reality if they wanted to.
The Man paused once more to take a final Drag off his Cigar before throwing it on the ground and stamping it out.
Vouge: *Exhale's Smoke* Why they made it like that we will hopefully never know since the creator of that thing soon vanished without a trace. Considering how it functions normally... All I can assume is the dude was some sort of creep who wanted his own personal Selection if you catch my drift. But one thing is clear, that device painted a really big target on your back and I doubt the lady wants to be used in any devious manner by some narrow-minded warlord. Now I'm fixin' to let you two out since I got a proposition. So behave yourselves alright?
He doesn't have to tell that to you. You don't know about the Alien Lady though seeing as you didn't know if she was just Annoyed or Pissed. Vouge then taps something on his right wrist which deactivated the Status Field keeping You and the Fiery Gal frozen in place.
Y/N: *Sigh* Ok we'll hear you out...
The Magma Gal looked at you with a furrowed brow. You can now confirm that her Look was one of Annoyance as she begrudgingly agreed. Though she'd like to know what she was being propositioned.
???: Before I agree to anything, I want to hear what you're suggesting first.
She asked in a standoffish tone while crossing her arms. You can tell she doesn't exactly Trust anybody right now. But given the fact she was stuffed inside this Chaquetrix that's now stuck onto your wrist for god knows how long, you're willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Vouge: I would be disappointed if you two agreed off the bat. I can appreciate a healthy dose of skepticism, especially in my line of work. I'll be blunt. I want you two to come with me for your own protection. Trust me, it's for a good reason.
He paused for a moment as he pulled out a strange device... Which looked like a phone but uh... It didn't have any buttons. This takes place around 2006, the first Smart Phone wouldn't be made until 2007. Feel Old yet? Cuz I sure do. It's not a normal Smart Phone anyway as it showed a hologram of a sinister Alien Ship in Earth's orbit.
Vouge: This is the spaceship of a Warlord named Vilgax. He intercepted the ship containin' both the Omnitrix and Chaquetrix. His goal is the Omnitrix, but he's partnered up with an Unknown Assailant to also retrieve the Chaquetrix. Now I don't know what happened to the Omnitrix, but the Chaquetrix was supposed to be sent along with it in a separate pod. I'm still sortin' out the details, but somethin' tells me somebody hacked the navigation systems and sent it here.
You can probably guess who. This Partner of the Alien Warlord must have hacked into the Pod's navigation systems or something. But there were just a few questions that were unanswered.
Y/N: Ok... If that's so why didn't they just send the Pod back toward's Vilgax's ship? Why send it here? This Partner of his have some sort of Agenda for doing that?
Vouge was a little surprised you caught on that quickly. From what he could find out about the partnership between the two from third parties, whoever Vilgax was working with wanted to Retrieve the Chaquetrix. Yet they decided to send it to a specific area instead. Though it could be something else.
Vouge: Maybe... It could be the Pod got damaged and crash-landed. I'll have to check where it landed to get a better idea of what could have happened. Think you can take me there?
He asked while raising one of his eyebrows with a questioning glance. You nodded as you figured someone like Vouge could figure out why it decided to land on your car.
Y/N: Of course. It landed right on top of my car. I can pick up my Laptop and some spare clothes while you look at the pod.
Ok, now That got the Man's attention. He thought that you were just wandering around and just happened upon the Pod in the middle of the woods. While the Flame Gal and You couldn't see it through his sunglasses, his eyes dilated a bit after hearing that as he nodded. You began leading them back to your cabin, and as you did so you noticed the Magma Woman being oddly quiet and looking to the ground.
Y/N: You ok? You seem a little down.
She remained quiet for a hot minute before finally replaying... And her answer was pretty much to be expected.
???: Not really. Suddenly appearing on a foreign planet with no memory of your past life is Frustrating, Disheartening, and Stressful. I can only vaguely remember my name and how I got captured. The details are foggy at best and none existent at worst. Every time I try to remember something specific it's always Just out of reach, like something is constantly pulling it away. Whoever bound me to the Chaquetrix probably didn't want anyone remembering what they looked like after they abducted them.
Well, that certainly put more context to what she was experiencing. You wonder if the other Alien Gals were also going to freak out once they came out. But that's a problem for later, right now you're trying to provide some comfort with small talk with the Fiery Woman.
Y/N: At least you know your own name. If you don't mind me asking, What is it?
The Magma Gal looked at you with a hint of suspicion. Mainly because she didn't exactly expect a Human to be this friendly with someone like her.
???: Why are you being nice? I vaguely recall Humans on Earth with no knowledge about the Universe were quick to get aggressive towards Aliens. Especially ones that attack you while in a Panic.
You honestly didn't look shocked to hear that coming from her. Hell, you kinda agree with her since most Normal People would probably freak the fuck out upon seeing her. But you're not exactly Normal yourself.
Y/N: I can't deny that. The Average Person would be hesitant to approach you at best after getting attacked like that. But I'm not exactly average myself.
The Alien Gal watched as you snapped your fingers and had a Magical Flame at the tip of your index finger. That gave the gal a mild look of surprise as you continued.
Y/N: I've been able to pull off weird stuff like this. I can even levitate objects, but only small ones. I also have other stuff I can do but as you can see, there not exactly Potent. Besides you were clearly frightened, I would be too if I were in your position.
Huh, guess you're used to the abnormal already. While the Magma Gal isn't Immediately smitten with you, she can at least trust you enough to know her name.
Cindi: Cindi. My name is Cindi. Thanks for being so lenient. It's honestly good to know some humans aren't so... Uh...
Ah, you knew this would be brought up. However, the way she was kinda dancing around the topic is a telltale sign she didn't want to offend you. Luckily for her, you're not easily offended.
Y/N: Xenophobic? Yeah, we Humans are a mixed bag on this planet. Some are more accepting of change while others aren't. You don't have to avoid the topic. I understand that my kind isn't perfect. We have a lot of room to grow but I think given enough time, we'll be better in the future.
Cindi looked taken aback a little at how open-minded you were. Not to mention you had a fairly balanced outlook on life. You were too optimistic or cynical. Her opinion of you grew a little more positive as you both continued to converse. Vouge on the other hand is growing more stressed the more he heard about you. Not because he distrusts you or thinks you'll go bad down the line, but because all the details he's starting to put together are pointing to something that's slowly filling him with a bit of Dread.
Vouge(Internal): Too many coincidences are pilin' up here... I'm starting to suspect him getting bounded to the Chaquetrix wasn't an accident.
The Gruff Man thought as you three continued towards your home where the pod crashed. However, unbeknownst to any of you, a man covered in stone was following you three from a distance. This man pulled out a glass sphere which suddenly filled it with a black fog.
???: Boulder, has the Chaquetrix bounded to him?
A part of the stone covering the man's face peels back revealing that he was Indeed Human. A Human that utilized a unique form of Magic not normal to this world... Or Universe for that matter.
Boulder: Yes it has. Though he's already summoned one of the Aliens and Vouge is with them. Should I pursue them?
The Goon asked with a cold and professional tone. But this sinister being has other plans for you. None of them are good obviously... But you have no idea how bad it's gonna get.
???: No. A disposable team of Dingo Dogs will be enough to push his awakening to begin. Just keep watching from a distance and report what you Witness.
That doesn't sound good... Soon after the Sinister presence said this, the Black Fog dissipated from the glass sphere. Stone soon regrew over Boulder's face as he continued spying on you three.
Moment's later
You three arrived at... Well, you're home and you show the crater currently housing the Pod to Vouge.
Y/N: Here it is. *Sigh* Under what's left of my car...
Vouge didn't waste time in hopping down to check out the Pod. You and Cindi looked at each other with a confused look. He was pretty talkative before, but now he's being very quiet... Not a good sign.
Cindi: Uh, everything ok down there? Something spook you?
She asked genuinely concerned for what that might entail. I mean it's not like an Alien Warlord and his Unknown Buddy is hunting you two down or anything.
Vouge: Don't worry about it, just get some things packed up in case we have to leave in a hurry.
Yeah, you're both thinking that is a Yes disguises a No. Cindi looked at you with the look of someone who's ready for anything.
Cindi: You go pack whatever you need. I'll keep watch out here.
Soon after you said that you gave a confirmatory nod and quickly entered your humble abode. But we won't be following you for speed-packing action. No, we're gonna stay for some Juicy details as Cindi is now starting to realize what's happening tonight is far from a coincidence.
Cindi: The Chaquetrix wasn't sent here randomly was it?
She hit the nail on the head. Vouge found the flight data and it was certainly Far from coincidence. Not to mention a few other glaring details as well.
Vouge: You could say that... I've been trackin' this thing for ages. I should have known something was off about it. That thing past plenty of hands and yet not ONE person ever put it on. Though it's more accurate to say they Couldn't put it on! *Slams fist onto the Pod* *Growls* Shit! We need to get out of here now! Where's-!?
*KABOOM!!!*
Both Cindi and Vouge glanced at your house which was now engulfed in flames. Vouge gritted his teeth as he quickly started to bolt towards you're house.
Vouge: Come on! We gotta pull Y/N out of there!
They both bolt in to see the entire building to see you getting strangled by someone wearing a high-tech flame suit.
Vouge: Damn it! That's a Dingo Dog! It's got Y/N!
Oh great, an Opponent that uses Fire and has Tech tailor-made to protect against it. Cindi can't do anything in this situation and Vouge can't-!
Y/N: *Choking Sounds* Get... The... Fuck... OFF OF ME!!!
*WHAM!!!* *Wooosh!* *SMASH!!!*
Holy shit... What you did happened so fast Cindi and Vouge bearly registered that! You hit him with one of the Meanest right hooks both of them have ever seen! It also was Potent seeing as you clobbered him straight through a few walls of your burning cabin.
Y/N: *Cough!* *Cough!* Fuck! That wasn't pleasant!
You said while rubbing your throat and quickly grabbing your duffel bag filled with Spare Clothes and your Laptop.
Y/N: Come on! Let's get out of here before the place falls down on our heads!
Well, you don't have to do any convincing on their part as you three quickly bolt out of the house. While you wanted to mourn the loss of most of your earthy positions right now, you didn't exactly have time to do so as you three see more of those Dingo Dogs heading towards you within the tree line. Which gave Cindi an idea.
Cindi: You boys better duck!
You two heard the lady loud and clear as both of you swiftly ducked. Soon after Cindi unleashed a torrent of Flames across the treeline cutting off the Dingo Dogs heading towards you for the time being.
Vouge: Follow me! I got a Ship parked a couple of miles out!
That far while being chased by these things!? Even if they ran it'll take them around twenty minutes to run that far!
Y/N: We'll never make it that far while being pursued by those guys! And I don't know about you, but starting a Gaint Forest Fire with more firewalls to throw them off does not sound like a good idea!
You had a point, two fires were already stretching it. Even Cindi agreed with that as she watched the flames she made start to spread. Vouge then looked at the Chaquetrix on your wrist and then at you.
Vouge: You need to swap Cindi out for another Alien on the Chaquetrix.
You and Cindi looked at him with hesitation as you didn't know what would happen to Cindi if you did that. While Cindi didn't exactly relish the idea of going back into that thing. However, Vouge gave a compelling argument when the ground started to shake.
Vouge: If you don't we'll be overrun in a matter of minutes! You don't have to worry about Cindi, she'll be fine!
You looked at Cindi who gave you a nod as you began to fiddle with the Chaquetrix. Soon the face of it sprung up as you quickly find out how to pick which Alien Gal you wanted you select. You kept turning the dial until you stopped on the silhouette of a somewhat spikey figure.
Y/N: Here goes nothing!
*Smack!* *Bawooooosh!!!*
Another blinding flash of pink light quickly left as soon as it arrived and where Cindi was standing a new Female Alien stood before you.
Art by averag3artist18
???: Huh? Where am I?
Well damn, guess she gave new meaning to Ab's so hard you could grind meat on them! Yeah yeah I know, low-hanging fruit. Anyways Vouge chuckled a little at the sight of the Crystal Alien.
Vouge: Ah a Petrosapien! Yeah, she'll definitely help in this situation.
He said having calmed down a little. The Crystal Gal looked confused for a moment before a Lazer blast bounced off her shoulder. She quickly took cover near the Railing you two were hiding behind.
???: I've got a lot of questions that can saved for later, but two of the Important ones need answering right now! Who are these guys and why are they attacking us!?
She asked trying to assess the situation. She also seems to be far more confident and experienced than Cindi seeing as she didn't immediately panic upon being summoned. You guessed she was some sort of soldier or warrior before being trapped in the Chaquetrix.
Vouge: Those are Dingo Dogs, Bio Orgasms grown out of a tube and made to be programmable and disposal warriors. As for why they're attackin' us, my guess is it has something to do with the Chaquetrix and the guy who's attached to it!
As he was saying this he was tweaking his big gun to output more Lethal Damage. It seems Dingo dogs are that dangerous and tough to warrant Lethal Force.
Vouge: Don't bother tryin' to take them down the Nice way! They won't stop until their object is complete or they're taken out permanently!
After he said this he handed you... A surprisingly normal gun compared to his Plasma Gatling Gun.
Art by David Pacanowsky(Art Station)
Can you tell I'm an X-com fan yet?
Y/N: Why are you giving me a basic gun? Don't you have a Plasma Pistol or something?
The Crystal chimed in with a bit of a factoid that puts things into perspective as Laser fire flew above the cover you three were hiding behind.
???: That would be putting dangerously high weaponized tech in the hands of a civilian. Which is illegal.
Of course, there would be Politics even in Space. I mean they have a point since it'd be basically giving a gun to a Child in this case. Actually never mind, thinking on how Humans act with weapons of mass destruction(And IRL in general), that's probably a good call.
Y/N: *Sigh* Fair enough.
The Crystal Gal peeked over the railing to see the Dingo Dogs have walked past the burning wall of fire with environmental suits that adjusted themselves depending on their surroundings. These suits also appear to be grafted onto their bodies as was their weaponry which wasn't exactly dangerous to her in the slightest. The main problem was the massive one with the duel arm Gatling lasers that were currently unloading toward them. She'll handle That one.
???: You two focus on the Infantry, I'll take down the Heavy Support!
Soon after she said this you watched as her arm turned into a Sharp Spike before she hopped over and began charging towards the enemy.
Vouge: You heard the Lady! Take these bastards out!
He quickly popped out of cover and aimed his Plasma Gatling Gun at a dense group of Dingo Dog grunts.
*Vrrrr!* *Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!*
Well, everything in that direction was gone! Like goddamn! That thing ripped right through some trees they were hiding behind like they were nothing and practically vaporized them! How the hell are you gonna compete against that with just a dinky pistol!? Maybe you'll get your chance as you see a group of Dingo dogs trying to flank your position.
Y/N(Internal): *Sigh* Here goes nothing.
You quickly hopped down and evaded some oncoming fire by rolling out of the way and quickly ducking behind a rock. Soon after you spot one trying to shoot the Crystal Lady while out of cover and took this opportunity to put a Bullet in its head.
*Bang!* *Thud!*
Huh, well that was easy... But you doubt it'll be that easy for about the Four other D.D(Short of Dingo Dog) Troopers currently firing upon your position. While you were using your brain box to figure out how to get yourself out of this bind, the Crystal Gal dodged one of the D.D Heavy's smashing strikes. She then slashed its arm off with one swift strike as it Oozed a strange black substance from its stump.
???(Internal): Well that's just nasty.
She thought before side-stepping a strike and stabbing her Arm Spike into its abdomen and proceeding rapidly grow the Crystals inside its body ripping it in Half! However, the D.D Heavy was still alive and fully functional as it quickly bashed hard enough to launch her threw a few trees.
???: *Grunt* Note to self. Go for the head.
She said to herself as she repaired the cracks in her body before going in again. This time she evaded the attack by jumping into the air. She dealt a finishing blow by forming her arms into Spike's and ramming both of them into its head taking it out. While that was happening Vouge noticed your predicament and quickly threw a grenade at two of the D.D. Troopers.
Vouge: Got a present for ya!
*BOOM!!!* *Ssssssssssss!*
That was not a normal grenade, that thing suddenly expanded into a short-lived ball of White Hot Plasma. It completely vaporized the two D.D. Troopers groups took a good chunk of the surrounding area along with it before dissipating. This left you an opening for you to finish off the other two in a surprisingly quick fashion.
*Whoooosh!* *Smack!* *Bang!Bang!*
The first you quickly rushed over and kicked it into the tree it was using for cover. You then quickly aimed the pistol at its skull and put two bullets in between its eyes. After you dispatched the first one the second one tried to take you by surprise by closing the distance and aiming its gun at your back. Both the Crystal Gal and Vouge looked worried as they couldn't get to you in time to save your ass. Luckily they didn't have to.
*Whooosh!* *Snatch* *Fwoosh!* *Slam!* *Bang!Bang!Bang!*
They watched as you quickly Grabbed the D.D. Trooper's gun flipped it over you and onto its back and put three bullets into its head. All in one swift motion. Having dealt with the D.D assault team both the Crystal Gal and Vouge make their way to you. You quickly and skillfully unload the magazine as well the bullet from the chamber which you load back into the magazine. Soon after you handed the now unloaded pistol and the magazine back to Vouge.
Y/N: Here's your pistol back. Guess I didn't need a Plasma weapon for that after all.
You stated with a surprisingly calm tone. The Crystal Gal was pretty impressed with how you moved and fought. Vouge raised his hands as he didn't need that old thing.
Vouge: I think you'll make better use of it. You seem to know you're way around a firearm anyway.
The Crystal Gal watched as you looked at him with a slightly confused glance before putting the pistol in your pocket.
Y/N: I do? This is actually the first time I've ever had to shoot a gun to defend myself. Normally I just shoot my sub-nose revolver at the range to keep myself from getting rusty. Other than that, I have never fired anything else.
To say that was odd would be an understatement. You were pulling off CQC like you were a highly trained soldier.
???: Then how did you pull off those moves? No ordinary citizen can do that while remaining calm.
She stated even though she can't exactly remember the specific details of How she knows this. It's more like General information she just knows by heart. You looked at her for a second and gave her a shrug as you honestly don't know yourself.
Y/N: I don't know. It just felt natural, like how you get up in the morning and do your routine. I'm guessing that's not normal, Huh?
The looks of both the Alien Gal and Vouge pretty much answered your question. It was definitely No that's not normal in the slightest.
Vouge: Maybe we should leave before we garner more attention. I don't exactly want to get ambushed by more of those Dingo Dogs.
Yeah, that's a fair point, not to mention you three began to hear what sounds like sirens in the distance. So you three waste no time on booking it out of there seeing as you'd have to explain the Alien Gal and the absolute carnage left behind during your battle. Vouge quickly guides you two toward the ship that he mentioned while Cindi was out.

Just to be sure, the 3D model they used isn't mine. It's Litrally ripped Stright from the game.
Vouge: It doesn't look like much on the outside, but the inside is where the Magic begins.
While you looked pretty impressed seeing something like this since it looked like a highly advanced Jet the Crystal Gal was pretty underwhelmed. To her, this thing looked a bit like a Junker of an Air Ship let alone a Space Ship! Unlike in the picture above it looked a little worn down and a bit rusty... Yeah I know I'm basically copying the Rust Bucket here a bit, but the worn-down appearance aspect is all I'm outright copying. Some of the damage looked like old battle damage from various things like Plasma fire, laser fire, and plenty more. If I listed them all we'd probably reach the 20k word count.
???: Why does it look like it just left an active war zone? The hull looks like it's bearly holding together with hopes and dreams along with some shotty watchword
Damn, that was blunt. Though Vouge doesn't seem to mind the harshness of her words as he chuckled after hearing them.
Vouge: It gives her some character at least! Now come on, we need to get someplace safe to recuperate.
The Petrosapien Gal looked at you with a single raised brow to which you responded with a slight shrug before following the Gruff Soldier into his worn-down Air Ship. The Alien Gal sighed as she soon followed, once inside you two appeared to be in an entrance of some kind. Which was already telling you something wasn't exactly lining up here. The entire entrance would have taken up the internal space of the ship along with the cockpit, yet where the cockpit should be is where a door is. A door that you didn't see the back side of from the outside.
Y/N: Uh... Did the laws of physic's just up in leave when we entered? Or am I just having a fever dream?
You said not sure if this was even real at this point. Aliens are one thing, but the interior of a ship being larger then it should is another. The Crystal Gal was thinking the same thing, however Vouge pretty much spelled it out for you two.
Vouge: Well I did say Magic didn't I? Well to be more accurate, Super Science. Do any of you two know what a Tesseract is?
He asked while you and the Petrosapien Gal just looked at him. Vouge sighed as he should have guessed that would fly over your head.
Vouge: Well I'll just skip the details. I used a Tesseract to make a machine that can expand and edit internal areas to whatever I can think of without addin' mass to the exterior. Or in layman's terms, I can add more rooms and change them in any way I see fit. Now come on let me show you around once we're somewhere safer.
Ok, now That is some serious complex Tech for a Hoorah Military Man to make. Guess he has more Brain than Brawn and that was saying something since that gear looked heavy as hell. The door opened up to a place that looked like some sort of command center, though it didn't look like it was currently in use.
Vouge: Don't mind this room. Just a bit of nostalgia for another lifetime. It used to be a command center, I couldn't bring myself to remove it.
He stated as the Petrosapien Gal looked around. She doesn't recognize the symbol on some of the walls. Not to mention the name X-COM doesn't ring any bells. But that could be how foggy her memories were, though she at least knew her name. Speaking of which, You just realized you never asked her name. You can't really blame yourself though seeing you were kinda being shot at during the time she came out of the Chaquetrix.
Y/N: I hope this isn't a bad time, but can you tell us your name?
As you asked this you three entered a hallway that led to a different part of the ship. The Crystal Gal glanced at you for a moment and spotted the Chaquetrix on your wist. Her eyes narrowed a bit making you wonder if you did something wrong, but what she said next cleared a few things up.
Terra: My name is Terra. It appears Abbi was right about me being imprisoned with the device around your wrist. Guess that makes me a fool for not believing her.
Abbi? Wait the Alien Gals in the Chaquetrix are able to talk to each other in there?
Y/N: Wait if the people trapped in the Chaquetrix can actually Talk to each other, why did Cindi attack me once she got out? She didn't even know about the Chaquetrix until Vouge told us about it.
As you asked that, you three entered what looked like a Dining Area with robotic chiefs and lunch tables. They even had a smoothie machine.
Terra: Not all of us are fully awake within the Chaquetrix. Some of us are still in a dormant state, the previous woman you summoned before me must have been one of them. Abbi was forced into helping build the Chaquetrix by a man in a Red Suit. Just before being imprisoned within it she managed to keep herself from becoming dormant like we were, she even woke a few of us up. However, whoever finished the Chaquetrix made sure we'd be stuck within that device. If we tried to leave we'd be dead within twenty-four hours. At first, I thought she was just jumping to conclusions, least that's until I was summoned into your battle and saw the Chaquetrix for myself.
While saying this you three enter another hallway with a few branching paths and an elevator. Vouge went to the Elevator and hit a button.
Terra: If you want more details then I suggest you talk to Abbi about it. She's a Galvan and a pretty intelligent one at that.
Vouge chuckled as all Galvan's are Pretty Intelligent. One of them made a weapon that can alter reality and a watch that can change anybody into a different alien species.
Vouge: Really what makes her so special compared to Azmuth? He's the smartest Galvan in the galaxy.
He remarked as Terra looked at you and you shrugged. You have Zero idea what a Galvan even is or who this Azmuth even is.
Y/N: Don't look at me. I had no idea any of these existed until today.
Terra looked at you with a questioning glance as she wondered how someone who was a somewhat normal person came into possession of the Chaquetrix... Then again at least you're not a single-minded prev, so she's counting herself lucky there. But that's not why she looked at you.
Terra: Actually I was gonna ask you to summon Abbi. She might be able to tinker with the Chaquetrix to allow more than one of us to be summoned at a time and she'll make a better argument for her own level of intelligence the I would.
Oh... That makes much more sense. You activated the Chaquetrix and started turning the dial. Terra pointed out a Roswell Gray-looking Alien Gal.
Terra: That should be Abbi. I must warn you though she's a bit... Um... Of an oddball.
Ok, now Vouge got intrigued. He came from a Team of oddballs where the most sane members were a Bad Ass Scottish dude with balls of steel and a Man that reminds him of Captain Price who can also make you into an Ice Cube... Literally.
Vouge: Odd Ball Eh? What type of Odd we're talkin' about here? Crazy Odd, Fearless Odd, Has Weird Powers Odd, or Homicide Maniac Odd? Or is she just really intelligent and everyone has Zero understandin' of what she's actually saying?
That... The last one sounded oddly personal. Which honestly isn't surprising given the weapons and gadgets he used back in the battle you three participated in earlier. Vouge sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
Vouge: *Sigh* Nevermind what I said, just summon her already.
With gusto~.
*Smack!* *Bawooooosh!!!*
For a moment you looked confused as you didn't see Abbi at first, however, you felt something tug at the ankles down at your pants.
Abbi: Ahem! Down here.
You looked down to see the Abbi was surprisingly Very small! And honestly very cute.
Art by liltaiga4
I did edit this for obvious reasons. I'm sure I'll post the link in the comments so you can see for yourselves.
Y/N: Woah! You're a lot shorter than I thought you'd be.
You stated as you knelt down to pick her up, but as soon as you got down on one knee she quickly hopped onto your shoulder! For a little gal, she surprisingly has some hops!
Abbi: What were you expecting me to be the size of the strange recreation of us you Humans made? What was it... *Tapping her foot* Um... It was Roswell something...
The Drift shoulder chuckled as she knew exactly what Abbi was talking about.
Vouge: Roswell Grey. For someone smart enough to build a knockoff of the Omnitrix, you sure don't know your way around human culture.
He said with a bit of a snarky tone as the elevator stopped and opened up to a fairly sizable cockpit. Probably fits about four people... Well, four normal-sized people anyway.
Abbi: That's because Earth is considered a Back Water Planet. For Pete's sake you people don't have any Space Crafts other than Orbiting Satellites and Rockets that can only make one trip to your moon and back! Why would I study Human Culture when I have better stuff to do? Like being Kidnapped by a madman who stuffed me in the Chaquetrix after I outlived my usefulness for example!
She said in an annoyed tone as she crossed her arms. You felt like you needed to be the voice of reason here, even though Vouge didn't look very offended. If anything he's tempted to prove her wrong by sharing his tech with the rest of Humanity, but he knows all too well that good intentions can pave the way to hell.
Y/N: Well at least you're alive, right?
Abbi shot you a narrowed-eyed glance as if you said something a bit insulting. Guess she had a stick up her ass the size of a tree.
Abbi: Oh sure we're Alive, but we're not exactly unscathed you know. Galvan's aren't exactly supposed to have mammalian mammary glands, we're amphibious by nature. Not to mention the splicing of Human DNA within us has notably affected our physical appearance along with... *Shivers* Being genetically compatible for breeding... Ugh!
She said slightly disgusted with the thought of Breeding with a lifeform that can't even comprehend the broader scope of the universe they lived in.
Y/N: That's uh... Pretty weird. Why did this Madman force you to make this if he wasn't even going to use it himself?
Vouge sighed as he hopped into the pilot seat and began the lift-off sequence. He has a pretty good idea as to why they didn't do what you suggested.
Vouge: *Sigh* That would be because it wasn't meant for him. It was meant for You and you only.
You!? But why!? Even Abbi looked a little confused with that explanation as they began to fly out of the forest while the outside was cloaked.
Y/N: Why would this guy just send the Chaquetrix to me? I'm a nobody who got lucky and writes romance novels for a living! Sure I can do things normal people can't but that doesn't make me special.
Well, that just sounded like an oxymoron to Abbi. Also Romance Novels? Really? You're just some guy who can make stories that a certain group of people like, why would the Madman who kidnapped and forced her to build the foundations of the Chaquetrix give some Rando a device just as potent as the Omnitrix? Unless...
Abbi: May I see the Chaquetrix for a moment? I have to check something.
You gave her a slightly confused look at first, but you complied as you showed her the Chaquetrix. She took a moment to examine it as she noticed something particularly strange.
Abbi: The Snarky one is right... The Chaquetrix will only respond to Your DNA signature. It was no mistake that you received this device... Not to mention it doesn't mention Human DNA as being the base's, but something called Mage Signature. Though I have no idea what that is. If it's a species, I've never heard of it. Or whatever an Infusion is for that matter. Hmmm, maybe it's a foreign species from a distant Galaxy...
The Galvan gal pondered this for a second before the so-called Snarky One spelled it out for her while flying away from the woods you called home... Well used to call home anyway. Not much left of one anymore.
Vouge: That's because Mage's aren't exactly a species, but more like a state of being for certain entities. Like a more aware and potent version of their own species, not exactly an evolution though. Some Mage's are more ancient than even the Celestialsapien's or the beings who made this Galaxy. Some are made by people pushing themselves to become Mages. Others are just born one day with the ability to do extraordinary things... Though Born isn't exactly the word for it... It's more like they manifest into being as infants at key locations where they'll be found by a civilization. Those ones are normally raised as Orphans or Adopted into families that care for them.
He paused for a moment to sear away from a few mountains. While that happened you recalled you were in fact raised in an Orphanage. The only reason you weren't flipping burgers to pay off student loans was that you got lucky that someone saw the potential within your admittedly cheesy writing. You were even more Lucky that they weren't greedy either, sure they knew your books could be profitable but they also knew you were a teenager in need of some guidance. So in a sense, your agent was also your Guardian so to speak. They made sure that you were taught right from wrong and all that. You know all that stuff. Look at you now, successful Author who penned Monster Romance. A cheesy novel series about a Teenage Gal Werewolf in a love triangle with a Ghost and a Vampire. Trust me it's a much better love story than Twilight.
Y/N(Internal): *Sigh* I should really call my agent after this. I bet Orren will be worried sick once he hears about my house burning down.
Soon after you mentally stated that Vouge continued his explanation. All while slowing down as he slowly approached a different mountain.
Vouge: The Mages that Manifest are more or less Mages from previous Cycles that are essentially reborn into the next. However, over time they regain the skills and power they had in their previous incarnations. Some will regain their memories more quickly than others, or not at all if their previous selves don't want them to remember what or who they were. Of course that doesn't exactly last long if the reincarnated Mage was brought to near death plenty enough times to allow their memories to seep back into them. As for why a Mage would reincarnate in the first place that's an obvious answer.
Once the ship got closer to the mountain, a few hidden doors at the base of it opened up allowing the ship to fly in and enter some kind of underground base. Either that or it was a cache of sorts. Whatever the case may be he landed the Air Craft and gave the answer to the question.
Vouge: It's to keep themselves grounded, so they don't go all Old Testament on us weaker beings. The idea is if they form emotional connections durin' this new Cycle they'll be less inclined to exercise the full extent of their power. *Turns to look at you* What I'm tryin' to get at here, is to tell you you're a Fuckin' scary ass wizard Y/N.
Abbi didn't look too convinced by that, but she had seen some strange things while under the Employ of the man who shoved her into the Chaquetrix. So she'll keep an open mind about Vouge's explanation... For now.
Abbi: Say that we Believe that. What proof do you even have to support that story?
She said with a healthy amount of skepticism in her voice. Vouge then laid down a surprising reason for her and by extension You.
Vouge: Simple, we're going to wake a mage up right now. *Looks to you* Name Helena mean anything to you?
You suddenly get up with a mixture of surprise and confusion as you Feel like you know who that name was tied to... But you have no idea why.
Y/N: I... I think... I don't know but I feel some sort of connection there, even though I never knew someone named Helena in my entire life.
Ok, Abbi was completely out of the loop here. They were gonna wake someone up? Like from suspended animation? And what importance does she even have on You if you don't even know her? There were too many questions and not enough Answers.
Abbi: What is even going on here? None of what we're doing makes any sense!
As strange as this sounds Vouge actually agreed with the Galvan Gal. He's been questioning why things happen like they do for a while.
Vouge: Things really do with Mage's of this caliber. Even I'm wonderin' what this will accomplish, but when you start seein' things go as they foretell... Well, that's when you start thinkin' something is up. Now come on, we got a date with a Horned Cat.
He stated in a much more serious and blunt tone. All of this felt So confusing... Yet you find yourself more curious than ever. So you didn't even hesitate to follow Vouge. Abbi mentally sighed as she rode your shoulder.
Abbi(Internal): Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
She thought while you three swiftly made your way out of the ship and into this strange base, looked kinda ancient yet still a little pretty advanced. Whatever it was, it was definitely designed to keep people out. You doubt even an orbital bombardment or whatever powerful weapon from space can make so much as a scratch on this place despite its age. Vouge approached the door and said something to it.
Vouge: *Clears Throat* To the Sea of Change and the Gallows End I roam, From endless waves of Life and Death I used to sail, Oh ye Sea Devil of Change I call to thee to seek guidance upon thine own judgment! For this poor Soul at Sea has none.
The door suddenly had a Lavender glow as it slowly opened to reveal a strange tomb. Both you and Abbi look around in both wonder and caution as Vouge approaches the Stone Sarcophagus with a strange crest. It looked like a Skull and Crossbones, however the Skull was a Felines which also had Horns. You wondered what Vouge was gonna-.
*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*
Vouge: Wake the FUCK up you Feline Cunt! No time for Beauty Sleep tonight! So get your fuckin' ass up before I blast this hunk of rock wide open and drag you out myself!
Wow... Both You and Abbi just... Watched as Vouge not only loudly knocked on what you both presumed to be someone's Bed, but also insulted them to wake them up. The worst part is it worked.
*BAM!!!* *Whooosh!* *THUD!!!* *Snatch!*
Art by KALLISTER
This character's name is Morgan and she is the OC of stray-cat. I do not own her, I'm just using her for her looks... And if you read my Undertale Book, you've seen her before :).
Helena: *Currently choking Vouge* If ye call me a Cunt again Vouge, I'll fuckin' gut ye and use your Fuckin' Intestines as a Jump Rope.
Well, while the cover of the sarcophagus was embedded into the ceiling and Vouge was being lifted into the air a good feet off the ground... You and Abbi can't say the guy didn't ask for that. I mean seriously who rudely wakes someone up like that?
Vouge: *Choking Sounds* Hehe... Fuck you too Helena... *Coking Sounds*
*Whooosh!* *Thud!*
Annnd Vouge was thrown squarely onto his ass. While the man handling the throat thing was a little excessive in your opinion. Abbi was looking at Vouge with a smug grin as she thought that was well deserved for rudely waking someone up like that.
Vouge: *Cough!* *Cough!* Fuckin' A. That's one hell of a vice grip you have...
Helena glared at him as she hopped out of the Sarcophagus and sat on the edge of it while crossing her legs and resting her chin on her palm.
Helena: Aye. And you wouldn't have to find that out if ye didn't insult me like that. Ye lucky it was me because If that was Midnight you'd be in a Black Hole for that.
Vouge dusted himself off after getting off his ass and onto his feet. Soon he rubbed his neck. You took note that she sounded like a Scottish Sailor... Vouge did say something about a Sea Devil. Shot in the Dark, but it might be her.
Y/N: U-uh hi... Have we met before? I feel like I know you from somewhere.
The Horned Cat took one solid glance at you and stared at you for a moment. She then looked at the Chaquetrix wrapped around your wrist which was partially hidden by your blue Jacket.
Helena: *Sigh* Aye ye do. But ye aren't gonna remember why for a hot minute. *Looks to Vouge* As for you...
Vouge sighed as he knew this was coming. You and Abbi watched as the Gruff Man pulled out a Cigar from his coat.
Vouge: Yeah I know, I cocked up big time. Look I tried my damnedest to get that fuckin' thing before it reached his wrist, but...
He paused for a moment and looked at you before looking at Helena. You get the sense they don't want to say something... But why?
Vouge: *Clears throat* But Dickface kept intervenin' every single time and shiftin' its position from the shadows. The guy's always one step ahead of me. It certainly doesn't help when we Mortals can't tell what Y/N looks like, sounds like, or even what his name is if it keeps changin' every cycle. If you lot can immediately spot him without fail just by lookin' at him, why don't you just stay awake and find him yourselves?
Helena narrowed her eyes for a moment before sighing as she sat up. Soon after she began to do some stretches. Probably a good idea given the fact she was sleeping in a glorified coffin for God knows how long.
Helena: Dickface eh? *Grunts* Well if anybody deserved that nickname, it'd be that bastard. *Grunts* To answer the question, if we'd stayed awake it'd throw everythin' outta wack. *Grown* *Sigh of relief* But now that he's around, everythin' will balance out nice and dandy.
Soon after finishing her stretches, she mentioned a Certain Detail that was incredibly private and really only known by You.
Helena: Also the Gaint Nob between his legs is a dead giveaway. Ye didn't even think to check for that?
Vouge just face palmed as he's not exactly the type of guy to ask the size of one's Pool Noodle. Not to mention the way she just casually said that even made Abbi feel embarrassed for you. I mean she took a mental note of course, but damn! She didn't even hesitate for a single second!
Vouge: I am not even going to Begin to say tell you how screwed up that sounded. I mean come on, give the guy some privacy while he still has some to spare!
Helena laughed after she said that. As if she knew something You and Abbi didn't. Honestly, you two were watching their conversation like two kids watching their parents having a conversation you have Zero idea about what they're saying. Helena however add some context you sworely hope she's joking about... After she stopped laughing of course.
Helena: *Chuckle* Wait ye tellin' me not a single lady in the Chaquetrix jumped his bones yet? Guess that means ye got to him before they could figure out how large his Friend is for themselves. Aye, but it's only a-.
Alright Nope! That's enough of you butting into this discussion just so Helena can Stop talking about your privates or your Potential sex life!
Y/N: That's enough! Look I just got the Chaquetrix stuck to my wrist a few hours ago after it smashed my car! Not to mention Vouge, Me, and a Petrosapien from the watch named Terra fought off a team of Dingo Dogs after they burned my house down! All I got is my Laptop and some spare clothes right now! And to top this day off you're talking about something I would very much like to keep private! So would you PLEASE stop talking about my Junk!?
Well damn, both Vouge and Helena looked at you with a surprised expression. Abbi was still riding your shoulder just soaking all of this in. If the Galvan Gal was going to be honest she found this quite entertaining. I mean it sure beats working on the Chaquetrix for decades straight that's for sure. It only got better once Helena looked to Vouge and said this.
Helena: I like this version of him. He is quite assertive~.
You had the look some someone who was thoroughly done with this shit. I mean come on! You're standing right next to them! However, Helena did finally stop talking about your Chokable Chicken.
Helena: So is it true? Did the lad already take out some Dingo Dogs?
She asked while crossing her arms. The Horned Cat sounded more serious tone and Vouge nodded.
Vouge: With alarmin' efficiently and calm. He killed four, three with a pistol I gave him and one by punchin' it in... Really Really hard. Not to mention for a guy who writes books for a livin' he knows his way around a gun he never had to use before. That and he can use Basic Magic.
There was a moment of pause before Helena looked towards the Chaquetrix. She squinted her eyes at it for a moment then towards Abbi.
Helena: I'm assuming you were forced to help make that thing before being trapped inside it, correct?
To say the tone of the conversation had shifted would be an understatement. Not that you're complaining of course.
Abbi: Uh... Yes. How did you know?
The Galvan Gal asked with a bit of confusion as to how the Horned Cat could even know about that.
Helena: Let's just say that Madman that forced ye into makin' that thing is an old enemy of ours. He's a present tosser who won't stay down. If the bastard is sendin' in Dingo Dog's that quickly he might already have base's set up across the world. Along with his agents.
Vouge can sense where this was going. But he does have a slight concern about the Omnitrix. Not because they'll use it, but because it might draw in unwanted attention... And not just from Vilgax.
Vouge: The problem is pinning down their next move. They could attack towns, raid military bases, or even target the one in possession of the Omnitrix which the Chaquetrix was supposed to be paired up with. We're going to need to find their hidden bases.
Helena hates to admit it, but Vouge's got a point. They can't just wait for attacks to start happening at random. They need someone running intel. That's when your Blackberry phone rings. Which could me only one thing.
Y/N: Um, Excuse me I have to take this.
You walked walk for a moment out of earshot with Abbi still on your shoulder. You pulled out your phone and saw that it was indeed your Agent, Orren.
*Boop!*
Y/N: *Sigh* I assumed you heard about the-.
Before you could finish Orren interrupted you. Not with a tone of panic and words of concern, but with some instructions with a serious tone... Or he was really pissed. Either way, he knows who you're with which made your heart skip a bit.
Orren(Phone): Put Vouge on the phone. Now.
Holy shit even Abbi could tell Orren meant business. He's normally very casual and friendly, he never sounded like this once in his life.
Y/N: O-ok...
You said taken aback by just how cold his voice sounded. Like I said he isn't normally like this, not to mention he knew Vouge was with you... So you guess those two have history. Needless to say, you headed over and handed your phone over to Vouge who looked confused at first.
Y/N: U-uh... It's for you.
Vouge looked confused for a moment, he then took your phone. Soon after Abbi whispered into your ear.
Abbi: *Whisper* May I have a word in private?
What is this? Musical chairs? *Sigh* You get out of earshot from both Helena and Vouge yet again so you can talk with Abbi. Speaking of which she quickly hopped off your shoulder to have a somewhat normal conversation. Well as normal as having to kneel down in order to have a Chat.
Abbi: Ok so if the Omnitrix was supposed to be with the Chaquetrix what happened to the Omnitrix?
She bluntly asked as she was not exactly thrilled at the prospect of having one of the Galaxy's most dangerous devices just hanging out there. Azmuth may have had good intentions while building it, but as always he failed to take in the fact that people with ill intentions will always find a way to weaponize something while discarding the intention of the craft's actual purpose. Or in a short and more prominent example, Azmuth was sort of the hyper-intelligence version of Einstein when it came to inventing groundbreaking technology. Sort of being the word here... He did make Ascalon first after all.
Y/N: Uh, I don't exactly know. The only thing in the Pod that flattened my car was the Chaquetrix. But Vouge did mention the Omnitrix was in another pod. That and the Chaquetrix were rerouted to me. To complicate things further he said someone by the name Vilgax is after the Omnitrix.
That wasn't good... The Omnitrix, even in its prototype stage is very dangerous. Even while she was being held against her will she heard rumors that Azmuth was making a device that could change any lifeform into other Alien species. While she could be stroking her own ego here, Azmuth and Her are around the same level of intelligence... The only difference is that Azmuth had a lot more emotional baggage than her. Of course, there is an argument that he had MUCH more experience than her and they'd be right. But what makes Abbi Different from Azmuth(Mainly in his younger years) is that while she can make things just as powerful as Azmuth's inventions, she doesn't feel the need to prove to herself that she Could make them. At least that's how She would put it if asked about it.
Abbi: Vilgax? *Sigh* We have to get the Omnitrix before it falls into his hands. If we don't he'll weaponize it and use it to conquer the galaxy.
The Galvan Gal crossed her arms and had a look of... Uh... Well, she looked more or less disappointed about the motive honestly.
Abbi: You know every single Warlord is doing the Ruling the Galaxy mission thing, it gets real old fast. Why can't they be more original? Like why can't they just fight for their own twisted version of Justice or a more original and interesting goal? Something different than just thinking they can rule the Universe better through violence and force.
Huh, that actually gave you an idea for the book you're still working on. In fact this whole situation is giving you plenty of ideas. But you'll put those mental notes to the side for now.
Y/N: I would say it's Human nature... But I guess that trait isn't exactly unique to us, isn't it? Eh, at Least I have some neat story ideas for my new Novel... All it cost me was my house and what little normalcy I had left in my life.
Abbi honestly couldn't deny that your life had indeed taken a massive turn or the fact you had a valid point that most Sapient species seem to have somewhat similar mindsets. But she was surprised you were taking this in stride. Most Normal people wouldn't be this casual about this.
Abbi: You're a very strange being, you know that?
You shrugged a little after she said that. Though if you're the base line of Strange then those weird Fan's the send letters that somehow Always get to your mailbox despite being fairly secluded in the words are definitely strangers.
Y/N: *Chuckle* You should see some of the fan mail I get. You'll think I'm normal then.
Abbi will trust your word on that. She really doesn't feel like delving too deep into That Abyss. She knows all to well about how certain members of nearly every Sapient species can activate a level of Degeneracy that would even strike disgust in the most vile criminals within the Null Void. She will never look at an Atrocion the same way Ever again.
Abbi: I said you were Strange not depraved of common decency.
That made you laugh as it was just funny how accurate that can be. But then again people do make a killing in the Porn business here on earth... Probably in outer space to now that you think about it. But you were thinking fully snapped out of those thoughts...
*Crunch!*
By Vouge just straight up crushing your phone... Jussst great. The Gruff-looking guy looked pissed, but the type of pissed that would follow having to work with someone they Hate with all of their being. So that guy who keeps STEALING YOUR LUNCH OUT OF THE FRIDGE!!! Seriously Jimmy! Quit eating my fuckin' sub during lunch hours! *Clears throat* Sorry about that... Um, back to the story...
Vouge: We're leavin'. We're goin' to hit the Dingo Dog encampment nearby.
He said with a tone fitting of his displeasure. Helena glanced at him with a bit of a questioning look, as if she was asking him if the attitude was necessary. Vouge however just scoffed at Helena and stormed off towards his ship.
Helena: Apologizes for his rough temperament mate. He just has some baggage he needs to sortin' out. I'm sure he'll make ye a phone once the grouchy fucker feels better. Be a wee bit until that happens though. Now come on, let's get in his ship before the tosser decides to take off without us.
The Horned Cat stated with a bit of a relaxed tone as Abbi hopped onto your shoulder again. You three soon began to leave towards Vouge's ship. While doing this you wondered what Else is going to happen today. Whatever it is, it can't get any worse... Right?
Author: I'm gonna call it there!
Fem A/N: Ok, you said-.
Author: That you'd be a part of the story, but I didn't say you'd be a part of it Immediately. That would be... *Grins* Boring~.
Fem A/N: And you're crazed personality is back... Lovely...
Author: Oh come now, It was already here to begin with. I mean A/N and Chibi A/N are still trimming a forest with nothing but spoons after all.
Fem A/N: Ah... So that's why you meant by "Running some errands".
Author: Hey I got to keep those boys on their toes~. I mean come on, if I don't set an example now they'll do something they shouldn't again.
Fem A/N: That's fair... I think... Anyways should we do the outro now?
Author: Of course! *Clears Throat* We hope you enjoyed this chapter! We'll tell you more about what we've got planned for this book in the Next Chapter of course. So do stick around~. As always, Stay safe out there~.
Fem A/N: Bye-bye!
