Ten Times The Trouble! (Open)

In the suburbs of Jump City, it was a day like no other, creatures resembling Ben 10's omnitrix aliens were everywhere. Some were drinking out of people's fountains and pools, opening and re-opening mail boxes and then ripping them out of the ground like stakes. A few were chasing children and the others were breaking into homes and ransacking the refrigerators and destroying stuff like TV's. As it would turn out, without Ben to be their host the alien forms resorted back to their normal contingencies and that wasn't good for the more danerous ones like the Xenomorph. Ben needed help in a big way, he had hoped Julie could mind probe them all into submission, but only the allusion projections would work since they couldn't be fully mind controlled being only empty shells themselves. Ben knew he had to stop them, but he had no clue how to get them back into the watch afterwards? Upon pulling up in Capricious car at the scene Ben spoke into the Omnitrix and relayed a message to any other Titans in the area.

"Look guys, I know these things look like different versions of me, but they're not. The only one that's me are the aliens with the omnitrix symbol on them, anything else is just a loose alien form. Don't feel bad about going hard on them because they're technically not real living beings, but reanimated DNA, if that makes any sense? Anyway, in their current state they won't hesitate to take you out either. From what I can tell these are the escaped aliens and here's a bit of what you can expect from them:

Airphant - Hurricane like gusts of wind and limited flight

EagleEye - Durability, super strength, flight, lightsaber like battleaxe, proficient fighter, wings act as armor

Hellkid - Invulnerability, super leaps, pyrokinesis, gliding

Rath - Super Strength, leaps, durability, steel like claws, skilled fighter

Furball - Super-Charged ball form, static electricty based attacks, Super-Speed when in ball form

Ex-Xeno - Enhanced senses, speed, durability, super strength, lance like tail, acid blood, wall-crawling

FangFace - Mezmorizing glare, super-speed, strength, lifeforce/blood sucking, levitation, claws

BenMartian - Intangibility, mind reading, super strength, flight, telekinesis, shape-shifting

Crossblade - Psyblades that can cut through anything but organics, skilled fighter, cling to all surfaces

Apokosapien - Super strength, Super leaps, invulnerability, fighting prowess"

After giving a brief explanation about each of the missing forms, Ben then rotated the dial of the Omnitrix and looked towards the first to break out of the watch or at least the first he had learned about. Fangface, he was Ben's first target. After rotating the dial on the Omnitrix tot he silhouette of one of Fangface's known weaknesses he slammed down on it's face plate and began his transformation. Flames started to protrude from his skull and body while lava dome like lines made a jigsaw patterns on his skin, finally ending with his facial features disappearing and any extra extremities melting away until Ben was no more and instead was replaced by, Heatblast!

"Time to bring the heat! Capricious you help anyone you see in danger while I try to figure out a way to get the aliens back into the Omnitrix. Hopefully, back-up gets here soon."

That being said, Heatblast took to the skies and flew towards Fangface ready to do battle with...well...a version of himself in a way.

Almost on que back up arrived as two heroes Ben had never seen before came into the fold and Fury called dibs on fighting Rath. However, Ben wasn't paying attention to them right now, he had beef with one of his other aliens. FangFace; it had hurt his girlfriend and although Ben was a professional and wasn't naive enough to get uber pissed at everyone who hurt Julie. It did make the Vladat the first on his list to receive a beating! At the moment FangFace was in someone's yard sucking the blood form the family dog, when from up above Ben came flying towards him with a flaming fist and as he landed sent up a fire plume that charred the entire yard to a crisp. Although, afterwards it was revealed that FangFace wasn't there!?



"Huh?! Forgot how fast this form was, but where did he--UGh, EWWWW!!"

Then suddenly from Heatblast's blind side the dead canine was thrown into him. Grossing Ben out completely as it's bloody carcass slid down his molten body. What he didn't realize was that FangFace was going to use it as a platform to land a running dropkick on Ben since it couldn't touch his flaming body frame. The hit in itself sent Ben soaring into the side of the imported palm tree in the front yard and knocked it over. Afterwards, Ben found himself laying flat on his back in a bit of pain. Meanwhile, from up above FangFace attempted to use it's memorizing glare on Heatblast while hovering, but for some reason the omnitrix was negating it's affect.

"Sorry, but when you Anur-transylians try using your creepy ghost possession stuff on me, it just never seems to work with the omnitrix, tough luck."

That being said, Heatblast shot two waves of flamethrower like blasts form each palm into the alien, which caught it off guard and knocked it backwards into someone's home. A woman's scream echoed from inside shortly afterwards.

"Oops."

Ben attempted to get up and follow after it to correct his mistake, but found hismelf stopped by Airphant, who exhaled an extreme gust of wind at Heatblast nearly snuffing out his flames and casuing the entire yard to blow away. Now unlike Alpha Knight and Teen Lantern or even Capricious, this was Ben 10. He had been doing this a lot longer than any of them and honestly, there couldn't have been a better job for him than taking down his own aliens. He already knew nearly everything about them by heart. So as the winds blew onward towards Ben he hit the Omnitrix symbol on his chest and transformed into, Big Chill! who immediately phased through the ground and then re-arose moments later behind Airphant in ghost form. Then as he returned to a solid state Big Chill exhaled a zero temperature frost at the elephant like alien that froze it solid. However, right after that Big Chill ate a tazering punch from Furball, who rolled up to him like sonic the hedgehog and as he unfolded uppercutted Ben, sending him flipping through the air. Electricity could effect him in this form, so in mid rotation he again hit the omnitrix dial and switched into Swampfire! Who threw multiple seeds at the ground just as Furball converted into ball form again and rolled towards him. The seeds started growing in record time into full blown beanstalks and immobilzied the rodent like alien via lifting it into the air and constricting it. Afterwards Swampfire admired his work for a moment, but soon found himself impaled though the chest by a large spiked tail, which then drug him down into a sewer hole away from view....



A few moments passed and the Hat arrived, at which time rumblings were heard under ground and finally out of the manhole a tower of fire erupted causing the Xenomorph alien to be shot from underground as if riding upon a geyser. Then following after it was Ben, still in alien form. Except he was breathing rather hard and seemed tired. Constant switches drained him, as seen by how he immediately reverted back to human form at the sight of The Hat.

"*pant, pant* What are you doing here!? We don't need your help with this and we don't want it."

However, no sooner had Ben said that, the Green Lantern like hero gave the Hat a quick salute before flying off to fight some more, which kind of made Ben have to eat his words.

"Ok, whatever they might wan your help, but I don't need it. I've got this under control, once I figure out how to put all my aliens back in the watch this'll be over."

A scream was heard again as FangFace exited that same house Ben had knocked it into with a girl hanging by the leg in it's grasp. Furball had also chewed out of the vines, Ex-Xeno had recovered, and the ice around Airphant was cracking. Ben could insist he had the situation under control all he wanted, but the truth was he had no clue what he was going to do here.

Ben was backed by Capricous before he could reply, which he usually appreciated, but he knew first hand that she had really no clue how powerful this, Hat guy, really was. He had actually almost made good on his threat to kill Ben before...However, like usual almost didn't cut it and it seemed doing it didn't cut it either.

"It's not my pride that doesn't want you here, Hat. It's knowing that your idea of helping people involves kidnapping and murder, which killing a famous hero really doesn't seem like a very saviour like qaulity to me, but hey, that's just me. And it's not like you haven't tried before, but when you fail this time, make no mistake. It will be the last."

Very threatening words traded between persons, but then all 3 were disturbed by the same white and blue guy from before. He looked no older than Ben really, but donned a style of dress that definitely seemed Green Lanternish and Ben didn't know him. Who was this new hero? A question for another time maybe, because right now his inquiry was more pressing. What were they going to do with the aliens? Ben checked his watch...Nope, still offline. He had really shorted it out with that super switching he was doing. Not that he could've really figured out how to put them back in the watch anyway. So instead Ben decided he had to make one of the hardest choices of his life, because the Hat was right about one thing; these people's safety did come first and with these alien forms running a muck it only spelt bad things for Jump City and it's inhabitants.

".......*Sigh* If you're anything like Green Lantern, I want you to take them into space. They're not real, just animated DNA. They have no conscious mind at the moment, just feral impulse that I usually have to deal with when operating their controls."

For someone who had just preached pro-life, that decision was a rather difficult one to make. Killing off a bunch of his alien forms?! That just made Ben sick to his stomach in some ways. The omnitrix was bonded to him, literally, and some of these forms had become as much a part of Ben as he became them.

Just then, after Ben addressed Teen Lantern, from behind him came charging Ex-Xeno from the shadows. The Xenomorph had regained it's composure and other than losing it's extreme senses it was still a very deadly acid blood squirting alien. Without the Omnitrix working or at least being in alien form, Ben was a sitting duck. Not to mention he didn't even see it coming and it just so happened that the weak one with the bright green jacket was indeed the alien form's target.
