A New Evolution, Part 1

(The evil villain Maltruant was defeated by Ben Tennyson and Rook Blonko, and his components were scattered across time. After that, Skurd stayed with his ancestors while Ben was forever on his mission of seeding life across creation. Amazed about the very universe that he and Rook watched being created, Ben decided to explore the universe they watched being created, and Rook agreed with his statement. With that said, Ben called his cousin Gwen Tennyson on his cellphone and told her that they, Rook and Kevin Levin were going on a road trip. And now, deep into outer space, Ben and his friends were travelling on their green spaceship, the Rust Bucket 3, to experience the universe that Ben and Rook watched being forged.)

Ben's voice: Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Rust Bucket 3. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no hero has gone before.

Gwen's voice: Dramatic much, Ben?

(We go inside the spaceship to see Ben Tennyson with his cousin Gwen Tennyson and his friends, Kevin Levin and Rook Blonko.)

Ben: Hey, I was only trying to fit the mood here, Gwen.

Kevin: This is a road trip, not that one sci-fi show, Ben.

Ben: Come on, Kevin, gimme a chance.

Rook: You two settle down. We're on vacation.

Kevin: (smiles) You're right, Rook. How could I be arguing with a real cool buddy after he fixed some things in the past from a previous universe? Especially my green car!

Ben: (nods in agreement) You got that right, buddy. I miss riding it with you.

Kevin: (grins) And now I'm a real lucky man, because I have TWO cars!

Ben: You sure are lucky!

Gwen: (smiles, as she tossed her long red hair) Now that you mention it, I do miss having my old long hair. I gotta admit, my last appearance made me look a little too much like a nerd.

Ben: And a dweeb, no offense.

Gwen: (waves it off) None taken, I assure you. In fact, suddenly, being called Gwen at college doesn't sound embarrassing at all.

Kevin: Even so, we're glad to have everything we used to have in the past back.

Ben: (sighs sadly) Almost everything...

Rook: (confused) What do you mean, Ben?

Gwen: (feeling sympathetic) I know. Julie.

Rook: (realizes) Oh, yeah, that's right. You and her broke up, all over a misunderstanding.

Kevin: (frowns) Well, if you ask me, that reason was stupid. I mean, dissing Mr. Smoothy like that while leaving with that French pretty boy? Honestly! And Ester ending her relationship with you for that buffed-up buffoon Antonio? That's stupid, too!

Ben: Yeah, but I don't think I'll be with either of those two anymore. I'm better off with Kai...

Gwen: You say you're better off with Kai, yet you sound like you're not feeling love with her.

Ben: That's the point, Gwen. I'm not feeling her.

Rook: Well, I can assure you, Ben, this vacation may be just the thing you need to get your mind off your troubles.

Ben: I sure hope you're right, Rook.

Kevin: Cheer up, Ben. We're almost at our destination. I'm sure something will come up.

Ben: Good point, Kevin. Let's go.

(The spaceship kept on flying to wherever it would take the heroes. Unknown to them, they were being watched from a viewscreen by an evil figure, who was sitting in a chair. He tapped his yellow three-fingered claw onto the arm as he spoke.)

Evil figure: (his voice a low growl, resonant and menacing) So, Ben Tennyson and his friends are heading to this part of the universe. Excellent. I have been waiting a very long time to finally meet them so that I can get my claws on that weapon of Tennyson's. Once I get rid of those fools, the Omnitrix will be in my power, and the universe will be mine!

(The villain then gave an evil chuckle as he watched the Rust Bucket 3 fly through space before the screen turned black.)

(OP: A Little Faster by There For Tomorrow)

**A New Evolution, Part 1**

(Soon, the Rust Bucket 3 landed on a planet that seemed as lush and inhabitable as the planet Earth itself. Once a clearing was found, the Rust Bucket 3 came to a complete stop and opened the hatch as Ben and his friends walked down the ramp and stepped onto the ground.)

Ben: Whoa! Of all the planets that we've been to or got info on, this one is almost exactly like the Earth itself!

Gwen: I agree, this place is beautiful.

Kevin: Reminds me of that planet from that one franchise. You know, that speedy blue hedgehog.

Ben: Oh, yeah, I know that one.

Gwen: Good observation, Kevin.

Rook: My people would be thrilled when they hear about this place.

Kevin: No doubt about it, Rook.

Rook: And yet, there is something very odd here.

Ben: Odd? What do you mean?

Rook: Before we recreated the universe, I highly recall that there was no official data on this planet.

Ben: (as he started pondering this) Hey, you're right. Come to think of it, I don't think Grandpa Max ever told us about it.

Gwen: Strange indeed.

Ben: Well, we better take a look around, and find out what we can about this planet.

Kevin: Yeah. This time, we're sticking together.

Rook: (nods) Affirmative.

Ben: Let's go.

(Then the group walked off to begin exploring the lush, Earth-like planet. Minutes later, at what looked like a forest clearing, Ben and his friends were looking around.)

Ben: (looking around curiously) There's got to be something that explains why this planet isn't in any of our records.

Gwen: (sensing something) Hold on. I feel a strange energy here. It's unlike anything I've sensed before.

Kevin: (alert) That doesn't sound good. We should be ready for anything.

(Suddenly, they hear a rustling in the bushes. They prepare for a potential threat.)

Rook: (raising his weapon) Caution. We are not alone.

(A group of small, harmless alien creatures emerges, much to the team's relief. These creatures are about the size of a rabbit, with soft, luminous fur that subtly changes color, reflecting their mood. They have large, expressive eyes and small antennae atop their heads that glow gently. Their ears are leaf-shaped, contributing to their camouflage in the lush environment. They move with a gentle, floating grace, almost as if they're gliding just above the ground. Each creature has a unique pattern of bioluminescent spots on its fur, creating a mesmerizing display in the planet's ambient light. They seem curious and unafraid, approaching the team with a mix of cautious interest and playful demeanor.)

Ben: (smiling) Looks like we found the locals.

Gwen: (relieved) They seem friendly enough. (as she kneels to one of the rabbit-like creatures getting close to her, petting it) And cute, too.

(As the group interacted with the creatures, the menacing figure watched them from a distance, smirking evilly.)

Rook: Of all the alien species in the whole universe, I've never seen anything like these. This is fascinating.

Kevin: Just as long as these are the only inhabitants on this planet, I don't mind at all.

Ben: I agree, Kevin. Things can't get any better.

(The moment was peaceful until the serenity was shattered by a disruptive force. The bushes trembled violently, and the small creatures scattered in a burst of bioluminescent color.)

Gwen: (stands up, alert) Something's coming.

(The moment of tranquility was abruptly interrupted as a shadow loomed over the group. The evil figure steps out, the ground subtly trembling with each of his heavy, deliberate steps. His eyes locked onto Ben with a predatory focus.)

Evil figure: Ben Tennyson... the wielder of the Omnitrix. You are far from your world, child, where legends and rumors shield you. Here, you face reality—and reality can be cruel.

Ben: (narrowing his eyes, undaunted) We've faced plenty of realities, and villains like you. What's your story?

Evil figure: (grins, revealing sharp teeth) My story is one of conquest and survival. The Omnitrix is the key to an empire, to ensuring my species does not fade into extinction. You will surrender it to me, or you will perish.

Gwen: (taking a protective step forward) The Omnitrix isn't a weapon of conquest. You're not getting it.

Kevin: (fists clenching, his voice laced with challenge) And we're not the perishable type.

Evil figure: (spreads his arms wide, as a show of strength) Then witness the power that has crushed worlds.

(He lets out a roar that vibrates through the air, a display of raw power.)

(Ben, without hesitation, smacks down on the Omnitrix, his body transforming with the familiar flash of green light. He grew, morphing into the massive form of Humungousaur.)

Humungousaur: (roaring in challenge) Empire or not, you're looking at the defender of Earth and countless other worlds!

(The clash between Humungousaur and the lizard-like alien began with the two giants circling each other warily. The forest around them seemed to hold its breath, the Lumifloras dimming their light, sensing the impending conflict.)

Humungousaur: (pounding his chest) Let's see what you've got!

(Humungousaur made the first move, lunging forward with a powerful right hook aimed at the orange-clad villain's jaw. The villain deflected the blow with his forearm, counterattacking with a swift tail whip that Humungousaur narrowly dodged.)

Gwen: (chanting) *Manus flamma!* (Translation: Hands of flame!)

(Magical, fiery constructs in the shape of hands emerged from Gwen's palms, striking towards Reptalon. He snarled, his own skin glowing as he absorbed the heat, then redirected it into the ground, causing a mini-eruption beneath Gwen's feet. She leapt away, casting a shield around herself.)

Kevin: (transformed arm into a shield) Hang in there, Gwen!

(Kevin charged, his arms morphing into hardened, crystal-like shields. He slammed into Reptalon's side, hoping to stagger him, but Reptalon barely moved. With surprising agility for his size, the evil alien grabbed Kevin and hurled him towards a tree, which Kevin crashed into, leaving a Kevin-shaped dent.)

Rook: (firing energy blasts from his Proto-Tool) We must work together to overcome him!

(Rook's blasts strike the evil reptilian, who seemed to grow more agitated but not significantly harmed. The reptilian fiend's eyes flash dangerously, and he let out a roar that sent a concussive wave, knocking Rook off his feet and causing his Proto-Tool to malfunction.)

Humungousaur: (grappling with Reptalon) Not so tough now, are you?

(The two continue to grapple, but as Humungousaur applied more pressure, Reptalon's body began to emit a sharp, crackling energy. Humungousaur suddenly found himself being overpowered as Reptalon's strength surged.)

Evil figure: (smirking) You think brute force is enough? I am Reptalon, whose might is unyielding!

(With a heave, the reptilian villain, now revealed to be known as Reptalon sent Humungousaur flying into his teammates, the group collapsing in a heap. Reptalon stood tall, his chest heaving, energy crackling around his claws.)

Reptalon: (taunting) This is the strength that has conquered worlds. Stand down, or face obliteration.

(The team struggled to their feet, battered but not defeated. Ben, back in his human form, eyed the Omnitrix, knowing he needed a different strategy.)

Ben: (determined) This guy's tough, but we're tougher. Time for round two.

(They regroup quickly, with Gwen preparing a new spell, Kevin morphing his arm into a blaster, and Rook recalibrating his Proto-Tool. Ben tapped the Omnitrix, ready to choose a new alien form, one that might outsmart Reptalon's brute force.)

(Ben regains his footing, his determination unwavering. He looks at the Omnitrix, his mind racing. Strength alone isn't enough; it's time for a new approach. With a twist and a firm press, he transforms once again.)

(The energy ripples outward as Ben becomes Feedback, his antennae crackling with the power to absorb and redirect energy.)

Feedback: (cracking his knuckles) Let's redirect this fight!

(Reptalon, seeing the change, charges with a surge of energy building around his claws, ready to strike. Feedback meets him head-on, his hands glowing with an absorbing light.)

(As Reptalon unleashes a bolt of energy, Feedback catches it, his body lighting up with the stolen power. He grins, his eyes sparking.)

Feedback: (taunting) Thanks for the charge!

(Feedback redirects the energy back at Reptalon, who is caught off guard. The blast sends Reptalon stumbling back, his footing less sure.)

Gwen: (casting supportive spells) Now, Ben!

(Kevin and Rook leap into action. Kevin, with his arms now a shimmering alloy, distracts Reptalon with a flurry of blows. Rook, having recalibrated his Proto-Tool, fires a net to entangle Reptalon's legs.)

(Feedback leaps into the air, focusing the absorbed energy into a concentrated beam. With precise aim, he targets Reptalon, striking him squarely in the chest. Reptalon roars, the impact clear, but he's not down yet.)

Reptalon: (recovering, his voice a growl of frustration) You are full of surprises, Tennyson.

(Reptalon breaks free from the net, his own energy flaring up in a display of power. He charges at Feedback, who dodges nimbly, his form allowing for swift movements. The fight becomes a dance of energy and agility, Feedback using his speed and Reptalon his raw power.)

Feedback: (dodging another attack) You'll have to do better than that!

(The battle rages on, with Feedback continuously absorbing and redirecting Reptalon's energy, while Gwen, Kevin, and Rook provide support. Reptalon, growing more enraged by the moment, prepares a massive energy surge, a last-ditch effort to wipe out his opponents in one go.)

Feedback: (concentrating) Time to end this power trip!

(With a powerful shout, Feedback absorbs the full brunt of Reptalon's attack, channeling all the energy into a massive pulse directed right back at the villain. The energy pulse envelops Reptalon, lifting him off the ground and then forcefully setting him down, leaving a crater beneath him. Reptalon lies there, stunned, his energy spent.)

(The team converges, ready to take Reptalon into custody. Feedback reverts to Ben, who looks down at Reptalon with a mix of pity and resolve.)

Ben: (breathing heavily) This isn't about conquest, Reptalon. It's about doing what's right.

(Reptalon looks up, his eyes meeting Ben's. In that moment, there's an unspoken understanding. He may be down, but the battle for the Omnitrix is far from over.)
