Hunted

***Hunted*** is the fourth episode of *Clock 10: Choose Your Own Adventure*.

## Plot

Arriving in an abandoned mining town in West Virginia, Clock decides to do some exploring on his own. While doing so, he is ambushed by Kraab, a Piscciss Premann whose body is primarily cybernetic. Kraab demands that Clock hand over the Omnitrix, prompting the latter to transform into Heatblast.

Seeing Heatblast prompts a very hostile reaction from Kraab, caused by his PTSD of The Piscciss-Pyros War. Heatblast attempts to ask about the war, but Kraab refuses to discuss it. Instead, Kraab's claw arm shoots out a blast of water that extinguishes Heatblast, and then follows it up with a flame retardant to keep him put out. He then grabs Heatblast and flings him against the wall. Attempting to grab the Omnitrix, it activates a blue energy field that blasts Kraab away, and also reverts Heatblast to human.

Running from Kraab, Clock ends up being intercepted by SixSix. Despite the language barrier, Clock tries to have a peaceful interaction with him, which proves to be in vain. SixSix grabs Clock by the wrist, just under the Omnitrix, and flies into the air with him. Clock reaches up and hits the Omnitrix's core, resulting in him becoming Upgrade and merging with SixSix's suit. Using the upgraded Sotoraggian suit, Upgrade picks up a giant boulder and sets it on himself, unmerging from SixSix, leaving him pinned.

Upgrade is then approached by a third bounty hunter. Rather than outright attacking, this one introduces himself as Tetrax, and although vague, reveals that he is not here to take the Omnitrix, but instead protect it from the other two bounty hunters, as well as the evil that hired the three of them: Vilgax. He then retracts his helmet to reveal himself to be a Petrosapien. Upgrade questions why he should trust Tetrax, resulting in the latter revealing he could have taken the Omnitrix already if he truly wanted to.

Tetrax explains that his original plan was to remove the Omnitrix and keep it as far from Vilgax as possible. However, after seeing Clock deal with Kraab and SixSix, the plan changed. Instead, Tetrax offers to let Clock keep the Omnitrix if he helps him defeat the other two bounty hunters. When Upgrade agrees, Tetrax touches the Omnitrix, changing him into Diamondhead.

Tetrax mentions having his own grudge with SixSix to handle, giving Diamondhead a free go at Kraab as the two bounty hunters approach. Diamondhead goes for Kraab's joints, incapacitating him by damaging them. Diamondhead then turns to see SixSix having gained the upper hand against Tetrax. Diamondhead launches himself at SixSix, knocking him to the ground and punching his face, causing his helmet to break open and reveal the horrific monstrosity underneath, before knocking him out with one final punch.

Tetrax uses a cube shaped device to size down SixSix and Kraab for transport. He then admires the Petrosapien transformation, casually remarking that he was the DNA donor for it. Tetrax then takes his leave with the bounty hunters, though not before mentioning it is likely the two will meet again.

## Trivia

* The canon version of this episode takes place somewhere in the desert. However, to have at least some semblance of a logical path of travel (at least for the beginning of the series), the episode instead takes place in an abandoned mining town in West Virginia, to more properly line up with Washington, D.C., in *Washington B.C.* and New York City in *Kevin 11*.
