Prove it or lose it my dear sunset

I woke after having the same nightmare I always have. I shivered a bit in discomfort looking down at my ultrimatrix. I hopped in the shower and reveled in it's warmth. This was always my favorite part of my mornings I really needed this after having that horrible dream. What scares me is the’re becoming less defined. I know this just means ghostfreak is getting stronger. And I hate to think what that monster would do if he ever got free.

I step out and dry myself off as I get dressed in my usual black T-shirt and jeans look. I hear the door open and see a very annoyed looking Drake step in.

“What got you all grumpy?” I asked.

“Had a run in with Pinkie.” he said.

“Ah I see, she give ya a hard time?” I asked.

“Apparently she looked me up on MyStable.”

“Uh oh.” I said dreading what was coming next.

“She found the me of this universe still goes to Green Horn high.. And he still has to deal with Garble.”

“Garble? Is he a bully or something?” I asked.

“He’s the school number one bully.. I got him back though.”

“Good,I hate people like that.” I say scowling in disgust.

“Anyway she kinda put two and two together…”

“And got fish?” I grinned.

“Found out, ya.” Drake said with a sigh

“Now who's bad at hiding their matrix?” I smirked.

“Hey i'm from another world so if someone looks for me they will find the me of this universe.” He said.

“Yea,yea whatever.” I shrugged losing interest in the conversation.

“So ya want help me wrangle up some Dnaliens?” I asked.

“Sure.”

“Great cuz there's somewhere I need to check.” I said with a confident smile punching the palm of my hand with my fist.

We arrived at the building where I fought the highbreed commander as big chill faster than I would have thought. But no matter we went inside and found it was empty for a few bare shelves.

“Must have been a bookstore before me and that commander had thrown down,good thing he was no match for Ultimate Big Chill.” I smirked proudly.

“So let's look around I have a hard time believing that the run in was a coincidence,I bet there's a secret entrance or something.”

Drake nodded and started searching the left side of the room while I searched the right. I was look at one of the shelves when I felt a breeze coming from one of them. I pushed out of the way to see a staircase leading downward.

“Hey Drake lookie what I found!” I said in excitement almost jumping up in joy.,”It's the batcave!”

“Oh cool.” Drake said pocketing something and head over

“Alright um you first.” I said eyeing the creepy staircase of hell naw.

“Are you sure. You are the residents hero here.”

“No.no I insist you go first!” I said pushing him behind towards the staircase.

“Alright you don't have to push.” He said. With a noticeable gulp he headed down.

I followed close behind make sure to watch my footing want to..oh shit! I slipped and tumbled into Drake sending us both to the bottom of the staircase. I groaned as looked to see that I had dog piled Drake.

“Oww. You can get off me.” Drake said pushing me off

“Sorry I'm a bit clumsy.” I said blushing in embarrassment.

“Worry not you will nothing when I am through with you” said voice above us.

I whip around to see a tall muscular figure with tentacle like beard.

“VILGAX!!” I said recognizing him immediately.

“Ah my reputation proceeds me!” Vilgax said in pride,” So you will no better than to trifle with me!”

“Sorry squid face but I triflings my favorite pastime!” I quipped with smug grin on my face.

“So what are you after?” Drake asked

“Why those matrixes you are fond of!” Vilgax chuckled evilly,”GIVE THEM TO ME AT ONCE!!” He bellowed.

“Here that he wants us to give it to him.” I smirked as I cycled the ultimatrix to echo echo.

“That's fine by me.” Drake said with smirk of his own. He dialed up Kickin Hawk.

We slapped our matrix and union said, ”It's Hero Time!”

In flash of green I became Echo-Echo,split into five copies and sonic blasted Vilgax.As Vilgax stumbled back Drake ran up and kicked him in the stomach. Vilgax hit the wall but quickly eye lasered Drake to throw him off himself. He then attacked me by eyelazering most of my clones and grabbing one by my throat. I switched to big chill and fazed through his hand only to be hit the ground. I look over to see that a blue aura had surrounded Drake.

Drake got up and eyed Vilgax’s and taped the Omnitrix's symbol and turned into Chromastone and shot a blue energy beam at him.Vilgax brought up his shield to block the attack. Giving me the opening I needed. I hit the ultimatrix switching back to echo echo and then again to make four prongs to extend from the badge. My white suit became dark blue and grew to the size of nba player.

“Ultimate Echo-Echo.” I said in a computer voice.

Several discs flew from my arms and legs and surrounded vilgax. The disc then launched sonic pulses at vilgax bringing him to his knees.

“Drake together now!” I said as I switched to feedback. He nodded in response and began to charge.In near perfect union we fired two beams of energy hitting Vilgax straight in the chest.

“Curse you!” He cried in anger holding a hole in his stomach which blood was gushing from,”you have not seen the last of me!” He bellowed as he hit a button on his gauntlet enveloping hip in white light as he teleported away.

“Damn he got away!” I said as my ultimatrix timed out.

Drake switch back to Kickin Hawk and then back to normal and fell to his knees. “What happened?” He asked with ba confuses tone.

“What do you mean ‘what happened’ you started glowing with a blue aura and switched to chromastone to help me beat that chump!” I said in confusion.

“Last I remember is being shot at.”

“Whoa weird,well the point is we won't be hearing from him for awhile!” I said trying to lift my companions spirit.

“I guess you're right.” He said with a chuckle

“Hey what's that?” I said pointing to weird looking computer that was plugged into the wall., ”Yes! I think this what we're here for it a computer left by the Dnaliens!,man my Ultimatrix needs to recharge do you have an alien that can hack this bad boy?”

“I believe so.” Drake said dialing up Brainstorm, “I shall give this a whirl.” He said as he began to tap on some of the key’s.

“How long is this gonna to take?” I asked.

“It's a complex password with over 9000 possible combinations, so it may take some time.” He said as he kept typing

“It's over 9000!!!” I gasped in surprise.

Sunset Pov.

I was walking down the street, just enjoying the scenery aswell trying figure out way to get cosmic to notice me romantically,preferably with out skimpy clothes. It was then that spotted a group of things chasing a young girl. I switched on my omnitrix and turned into XLR8. I caught up in an alley where they had cornered the poor girl.

“Hey assholes!! Why don't you pick on someone your own size?” I yelled to get their attention.

“Aw fuck it's Ben 10” one of the goons shouted.

“Um yea and I'm gonna beat you up if you don't skedaddle right now.” I said trying to sound confident.

“Oh hell naw I don't none of your crazy alien shit I'm outta here.”said the biggest of the men as he ran past me,he soon followed by the rest of his little gang.

I walked up to girl and said,”Hey are you okay?”

The girl shyly nodded and said,”I didn't know Ben 10 was a girl”

“Oh um well I'm not the actual Ben 10 I just got my omnitrix from him so...I would leave him alone.” Suddenly getting depressed that the only reason I had this thing was because of an annoyed wielder,”but enough about that what's your name?”

“Um marble.” She said shifting uncomfortably.

I was about to say something when a familiar voice penetrated the air.

“MARBLE WHERE ARE YOU?” Pinkie asked very loudly.

“Over here.” I said.

Pinkie Pie gasped in surprise when she found us in the alley.

“OH MY GOSH A SEXY GIRL BEN 10!!!” Pinkie shouted in glee.

I blushed at being called sexy and quickly dashed past Pinkie and out the alley. I found an empty part of a public park and switched to my normal form.

“Ah ha,I have found you omnitrix wielder!”a stuffy voice declared in triumph.

I spun around to see Bog standing behind me with a purple alien dog with a strange device around it's neck.

“Bog?” I asked in dismay.

“Yes it is I Bog your arch enemy!” Bog declared.

I fought the urge to laugh at his stupid name and cycled to Heatblast. I slapped down the matrix to become the fiery alien and charged at him. He simply smirked and whistled. Which caused his dog to be covered in red light as it morphed into a giant crab like rino. It met my charge head on and soaked me into the ground. I tried to fire blast it but it had zero effect on it.

“Nothing you do can stop Zed, she hold a device akin to you ultimatrix allowing her to become the natural predators of any species you transform into,you can not give in and I may spare you.” He said smugly.

“Not a chance!” I said defiantly as I hit the badge on my chest.

“Four Arms!” I cried having turned into the tetramand,”or better yet.” I said tapping the omnitrix once more causing four prongs to extend and a white circle to spread across my body. My skin changed to more magenta hue and I grew a two more arms. I then shoved Zed off of me.

“Oh bravo you have a couple of extra arms how is that going to help you against me and my pet!?” Bog asked.

“Let's just say that I have a few new tricks.” I said grinning.

I took a martial arts stance and stomped the ground causing huge Boulder to jump out of the ground , I then planed the air in the direction of my opponents. The boulder crashed into Bog sending him hurtling several feet. In rage Zed charged me. I simply stomped the ground again causing a huge wall of stone to block his attack.Next it was my turn to charge I grabbed Zed by the horn and threw him into the lake. Bog tried to attack me again but I gut punched him and chucked him over my shoulder. But I didn't notice he use a small scanner to scan my ultimatrix badge.

“You have seen the last of me wielder we will meet again!” He said as teleported away with white glow,a similar glow came from the lake in they were gone.

“Well that's that,” I said as my omnitrix timed out.

I decided to go home so I continued in my walk on foot. I was just at my front door when I look over to see Vice Principal Luna knocking on the door of the apartment next door.

She notices me and waves hi with a smile. So I decided to walk up to her for and see if she needed help with anything.

“Hello Miss Luna,what a surprise! What brings you here.” I asked.

She smiled nervously and said,” There is something of great importance I need to discuss with Cosmic Storm,but would appear he is not home.”

Just then Principal Celestia ran up to Luna and said,” Sorry I'm late got a little held up,Had Cosmic answered his door?”

“”No I do not believe he is home at this time.” Luna replied.

“Well Cosmic usually hangs out around the mall but if he's not there he might be with his sister Stardust.” I piped in.

“SISTER!?” They asked union.

Luna facepalmed,” Of course he would have a adoptive sibling.”

“Well I think it wonderful he’s had some one his to keep him company all these years.” Celestia said smiling warmly.

“I would have kept him company,” Luna grumpled.

“Wait what's going!?” I asked in bewilderment.

“That is none of your concern Miss Shimmer I suggest you stay out of it.” Luna glared.

“I'm afraid my sister is right this isn't something you need concern yourself with but have a pleasant weekend bye!” She said as her sister grabbed her and ran towards the mall.

Cosmic's Pov.

Drake finally cracked the damn code on the computer letting us in the darn things file. And what we found was very helpful.

“Ha no wonder the thing was so heavily encrypted this thing has the location of every DNAlein hideout in the country!,dude we hit the jackpot!” I said grinning like a mad man while turning to a now human Drake.

“It took forever but ya we final got in.. Umm.” He said looking at the monitor.

“What?” I said looking back to the monitor.

“Oh it nothing.. The one at CPA is down.” He said pointing at said school. “I kinda had a run with some DNAliens my self.”

“The one here is to,hey let's see if… yep good thing I grabbed this before I left.” I said pulling a USB drive from my pocket.

I plugged it in and downloaded the data.

“And done!” I said pulling it out and picketing it,”let's get outta here!”

“Ok so where to now, to one of their bases?” He asked

“That will not be necessary young Drake for you fulfilled you purpose and it's time to go home.” A British voice said from behind us.

We white around and see Professor Paradox standing by a blue portal similar to the one Drake came through.

“I guess this is goodbye.. For now.” Drake said as he put his hand out.

“I guess so,” I said I shook his hand,” but before you here's a farewell present,”I said handing him a small phone like device.

“It's inter universal communicator,I had Alien X whip it up just in case.” I said with smile.

“Thanks.. Oh tell Pinkie we can see that movie another time then.” He said pocketing the device.

“Um sure goodbye man see ya later,” I shrugged.

With a nodd Drake walked through the portal. Followed closely by Paradox.

I sighed I was gonna miss that guy he sure helped out in a pinch,oh well I've spent enough time in this creepy basement. I walked up the stairs and out the front door.

I caught sight of the principles from CHS ,Luna and celestia I believe their names were, and they seemed to be looking for something or someone.Honestly I've tried to stay as far away from as possible ever since we first met. Especially Luna, she didn't seem to like me from the moment she learned my name.

Luna spotted me and cried out,” Cosmic Storm!”

Oh hell naw I ain't gonna deal with guys after the shit I've had to put with today. So I made a run for it yeading for my only sanctuary in this goddamn world,my apartment.

“Hey wait” I heard celestia yell as the two chased after me.

I only ran faster after she said that trying hard to escape them and any plans they had for me. It obviously wasn't school related or they would have waited till after the weekend.

Figuring out their plan would have to wait cause I got running to do. Eventually the sound of their feet running behind me ceased and I turned to see they were gone! I smiled in relief and broke into a pant as I caught my breath. I then walked all the way home.

I arrived at my apartment and opened the door,hmm must have forgotten to lock it, and headed inside I went over to my bed flopped down,but before I could even think of going to sleep a voice broke the silence.

“You young are very hard person to track down” it said in strangely familiar feminine voice.

I jolted upward and immediately saw its source.

A very smug Luna sitting next an equally smug Celestia.

“We need to talk.” Luna said with sad face.
