Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Finding Omnitrixes

(In Forest.)

Ben: "Oh, man! This is going to be the worst vacation ever! I might as well have gone to summer school!"

(Ben complained as his sister came running up to him.)

Jen: "Ben, please. You have to get along with Gwen."

(Jen said.)

Ben: "Why?"

(Ben said.)

Jen: "Two reasons. One, she's family. And two, if you don't you're going to ruin this summer for all four of us!"

(Without warning, the two of them looked up to see a shooting star with a pink streak soaring across the sky.)

Ben: "Whoa! A shooting star!"

(Ben said.)

(Jen then cupped her hands and made a wish.)

(But then, the 'shooting star' change directions and started heading straight for them.)

Jen: "Oh no!"

(Jen said.)

Jen: "Run!"

(The twins then turned direction and ran.)

(But before they could get far enough, they were thrown by the force of the impact and landed in the dirt.)

(The comet that landed created a huge crater in the ground as the pair dusted themselves off, walked to the edge of the crater and looked at it.)

Jen: "It's not a shooting star at all."

(Jen said.)

Jen: "It looks like a satellite or something."

(The satellite was actually the space pod from earlier as it then cooled off from the heat of re-entry.)

(Then, the ground that the twins were standing on suddenly gave way and the twins came tumbling down and found themselves facing the pod.)

(The pair of them looked nervously as the space pod opened to reveal two identical watches.)

(One was green and one was pink on the faceplate.)

(They were black-framed with grey supports and had pink and green buttons on each of them.)

Ben: "Watches?"

(Ben asked as Jen gulped.)

Ben: "What are watches doing in outer space?"

(He then got a mischievous grin on his face.)

Jen: "Oh no. I know that look, Ben. I'm not so sure it's safe to do this without research."

(But her warning fell on deaf ears as Ben stuck his hand in and the green watch unhatched itself, jumped up, and clamped right onto his left arm as they both yelped in shock and awe.)

Jen: "Ben!"

(Jen asked as the pink watch clamped on her left arm.)

Ben: "Get off me! Get it off, get it off!"

(Ben shouted in a panic as Jen seemed to remain a little more cool than him as she shook her arm, but the watches still wouldn't get off.)

(Ben struggled with the watch as he pulled and pulled, but it just wouldn't budge.)

(The two climbed out of the crater and climbed right back out.)

Ben And Jen: "Grandpa!"

(In campsite.)

Max: "Hmm..."

(Max wondered.)

Max: "The twins have been gone awhile. But I guess they can't get into too much trouble out here."

Gwen: "Unless they wind up bear food."

(Gwen said as Max turned and glared at her.)

Gwen: "Hey, I can dream, can't I?"

(Back to the forest.)

(Ben stuck a stick under his watch and tried to pry it off, but it just wouldn't budge.)

(The stick snapped off and he groaned.)

Jen: "Forget it, Benjamin. These things aren't coming off."

Ben: "Easy for you to say, Jennifer."

(Ben said.)

(He then fell to his knees and started fiddling with the watch.)

(Suddenly, the faceplate popped up.)

Ben: "Woah!"

Jen: "Ben, I don't think that-"

(The X-shaped faceplate then folded to form a diamond shape and the silhouette of a flame-headed creature with thick hands appeared inside of it.)

Ben: "Cool!"

(Jen then placed her hands over her eyes.)

Jen: "I've got a bad feeling about this."

(Ben then pressed down the faceplate and a flash of green light suddenly came out of the watch.)

(The watch sunk down into his arm and from where it sinked, brown-orange rocks erupted from his skin and worked their way down his body until they reached his eye.)

(Then, cracks appeared in the outline of his now rocky skin and the watch symbol appeared on his chest.)

(His head erupted into flames with a face outline inside and he and his sister both screamed in hysterics.)

Ben: "I'm on fire! I'm on fire!"

(Ben screamed and started running and screaming as Jen started backing up in fear, trying not to let her brother burn her.)

Ben: "Hey. I'm on fire and I'm okay."

(He realized and smirked to his sister.)

Ben: "Check it out. I'm totally hot!"

(Jen then put her hands up.)

Jen: "Ben, slow down. You know that I'm scared of fire."

(She remembered that once upon a time there was a fire in the Tennyson household, which kind of scarred her for life.)

(She's been scared of fire ever since.)

(Ben then reassured her with hand signals as he turned to a dead tree.)

Ben: "Oh yeah. Here goes."

(Ben then threw his hand out and tossed a fireball, which shot the branch of the tree off.)

Ben: "Liking it."

(He put his hands together and pulled them apart to form a bigger fireball.)

(He then tossed it and it destroyed three trees.)

Ben: "Wait! Stop!"

(Ben said as he realized he accidentally started a forest fire.)

(Jen then screamed her little head off and started running for her life.)

(From the campsite, Gwen and Max saw the smoke from the fire rising up from the trees.)

Gwen: "What's that?"

(Gwen asked, getting up from her seat.)

Max: "Looks like the start of a forest fire."

(Max said.)

Max: "We should let the ranger station know. Probably some darn fool out there, messing with something he shouldn't."

(Then the two got a shocked realization on their faces.)

Gwen and Max: "Ben!"

(He then reached into a chest and got out two fire extinguishers and handed one to Gwen.)

Max: "You'd better take this."

Gwen: "What about Jen?"

Max: "She's not foolish like her brother. She would never do anything to start something like this."

(Jen, in a completely panicked state, ducked behind a rock.)

Jen: "Okay, Jen. If there was any time for you to conquer your fear, it's now."

(She thought to herself as she started fiddling with her watch.)

Jen: "Come on. Ben's watch turned him into some kind of monster. My watch has got to do the same thing!"

(Her faceplate popped up to reveal a silhouette of a pixie-like creature as she then smirked.)

Jen: "Please let this be something that can deal with fire!"

(She then nervously closed her eyes and braced herself, but before she could press down the faceplate, a flaming tree branch fell down in front of her, startling her.)

(As she backed up against the rock for safety, she then slammed her watch against the rock and it released a bright flash of pink light.)

(Her skin turned an icy blue and started radiating cold air and her eyes shot open to reveal bright glowing pink eyes with no pupils and her hair shifted into blue spikey hair like ice.)

(Her clothes then shifted to a pink ballerina-like outfit complete with the skirt and flat shoes.)

(Her body then shrank to 3 inches high and a pair of insect wings grew out of her back.)

(The watch symbol appeared on the belt of her skirt.)

(As the light faded, Jen stood there, hovering in the air as the wings beat almost on instinct.)

(She then gripped her shoulders and shivered.)

Jen: "Brr. When did it get so cold out here? Isn't it supposed to be summer?"

(She then realized the fire was still there and she flew backwards and setting a hand on the rock.)

(But where she touched, the rock instantly frosted over.)

(She then, awed, looked at her hand and came to a realization.)

Jen: "Ice powers. Awesome!"

(She then looked over to the fire and let out a breath as hard as she could, letting out icy cold air, which extinguished the fire.)

Jen: "Let's hope this works."

(She then flew over to others and started breathing deeply.)

(Ben started stomping on the fire in a futile attempt to put it out.)

Ben: "This would be so cool if it weren't so... not cool."

(A short ways away, Gwen was putting out fires as best as she could until she eventually ran into Ben and accidentally put out his fire.)

(When she saw him, she screamed, scared.)

Ben: "Look, I know I look weird, but there's no reason to be scared."

(Ben said until Gwen slugged him with the fire extinguisher, knocking him back and then she blasted him with it, causing him to cough up foam.)

Gwen: "I don't know what you are, but you'll stay down there if you know what's good for you."

(Gwen warned.)

(Ben focused and summoned a small flame to appear on her shoe.)

Gwen: "Ow!"

(She jumped back, causing Ben to giggle at her reaction, before putting out the flame, holding her foot up in pain.)

(She then held up the fire extinguisher.)

Gwen: "I warned you."

Ben: "Don't even think about it, freak."

(That caused her to stop and realize that there's only one person she knows who would ever call her that.)

Gwen: "Ben? Is that you? What happened?"

Ben: "Well, see, this meteor fell from the sky and almost smudged me and Jen except it wasn't a meteor or a satellite but these two cool watches that jumped up onto our wrists and when I tried to get mine off, I suddenly was on fire! Only it didn't hurt when I was starting this mega forest fire!"

(Ben explained.)

(Meanwhile with Jen, she was putting out the flames with her cryokinesis as best as she could before she backed right into Max, who looked at her in awe.)

Max [in mind]: "A Cryosprite? But their planet is lightyears away!"

(Max thought.)

(Jen gulped at her grandfather as she then held up her hands as if surrendering.)

Jen: "Promise me you won't freak out, Grandpa Max. It's me, Jen."

Max: "Jen? What's going on?"

(Max asked.)

Jen: "Ben and I will explain after we take care of this. Less talking, more extinguishing!"

(Jen said as she breathed a massive breath and extinguished the flame behind him as they ran deeper into the woods to meet up with her brother and her cousin as Ben was explaining the story to Gwen.)

Max: "Gwen! Are you al- What in blazes?"

Jen: "Hey bro."

(Jen said, deadpan.)

Ben: "Jen?"

(Ben asked as Jen nodded.)

Max: "Ben? What happened?"

Ben: "Well, when me and Jen were walking, this meteor-"

Max: "Excuse me? Major fire burning out of control, remember?"

Ben: "What do we do?"

(Ben asked.)

Jen: "My ice powers aren't enough to put this thing out by myself."

(Jen said.)

(Max thought for a bit before he came up with something.)

Max: "Backfire. Start a new fire and let it burn into the old one. They'll snuff each other out. Then Jen can take out what's left of it. Think you two can take care of it?"

Ben: "Shooting flames, I can definitely do."

(Ben said.)

Jen: "Let's get to work, bro."

(Jen said before she and Ben flew/ran into the flames and she let out a breath to put out the fire in her way.)

(Once the twins reached a clearing, Ben cracked his knuckles and let out a heat ray, starting a second fire, which slowly burned into the old one.)

(Jen then rubbed her hands together and crossed her arms apart and then swept them apart, releasing a massive cold flurry which extinguished the fire.)

Jen: "Pound it."

(Jen said as she and Ben lightly tapped fists, only for Jen to singe herself on his molten skin.)

Jen: "Ow!"

Ben: "Sorry!"

(Later, the park ranger drove up only to be stunned to see that the fire was already out.)

(Back up in space on board the Chimera Wrath, one of the pilot robots was reporting to Vilgax, who was inside of a tank.)

Vilgax: "What do you mean it's not there?!"

(Vilgax asked angrily.)

Vilgax: "This battle nearly cost me my life and you say the Omnitrixes are no longer on board the transport?!"

(Vilgax rose up from inside of the tank and we are treated to a truly grisly site.)

(His entire body was basically mutilated from the explosion from earlier.)

(His entire left side was basically destroyed with the bones sticking out.)

(His right arm and leg were tattered and he was strapped to a breathing apparatus to keep himself alive while his body regenerated.)

the pilot: "Sensors indicate a probe was jettisoned from the ship just before boarding. It landed on the planet below there."

(the pilot reported.)

(Vilgax growled and turned to one of his robot scouts.)

Vilgax: "Bring it to me you stupid bucket of bolts."

(The robot complied and left the room.)
