A Hero's Origins
By TheAlienBrony22

Invasive Secrets,
Part 3

Civilians continue to run amok while the Genodromes and DNAliens attack Rapid City. Suddenly, Nitrofrost shoots ice at the genodromes and destroys a few of them. He lands and creates a circle of ice and snow around him, then looks at the few civilians he's saved thus far. "Go, find a warmer place to hide. Get out of town, if you must. I'm gonna make hell freeze over these jerks!" Nitrofrost called out.

The civilians tried to run, but were soon cornered by more DNAliens. Before they could attack, a blue blur slammed the DNAliens back, causing them to skid across the ground. Dash looked to the civilians, holding her hand out. "Come on, I'll get out of town, It's safer." Dash offered.

As the people grabbed hold of Dash, she flew up into the air and quickly flew through the air. Nitrofrost was a bit surprised to see one of the rainbooms, but then he saw Rarity and Applejack ahead, blocking the DNAliens' pursuit on civilians, and fighting them back with varying degrees of success. Nitrofrost moved closer, blasting the DNAliens and xenocites nearby, encasing them in ice. "Here I thought these freaks liked it cold." Nitrofrost remarked, chuckling at his own joke.

Applejack looked at Nitrofrost, unsure as to what exactly he was, but could only go off of what Sunset told her. "Ya must be one of them alien heroes right, from the news?" Nitrofrost nodded. "Then just know that we're here to help. Ya didn't happen to see someone runnin' around 'ere, didja? A boy, green eyes, brown hair, fifteen, that ring any bells?" Applejack asked.

Nitrofrost nodded his head. "Saw that kid beating the tar out of a few DNAliens in an alleyway. Haven't seen him since." The frosty cold hero lied, catching a xenocite in his hands. Nitrofrost froze the parasite solid and crushed it in his hands.

Applejack nodded her head and grabbed one of the DNAliens, trying to hold it still. "It's a darn shame that we can't fix these poor souls, I've been trying to pull my punches, just in case I accidentally hurt them too bad!" Applejack remarked.

Nitrofrost smirked. "Now that, is something I can help with," Nitrofrost grabbed the DNAlien, and in response, the Omnitrix started glowing yellow, forming into a helix shape. "Okay Omnitrix, give it to me straight." Nitrofrost remarked.

The Omnitrix flashed. "Omnitrix has detected numerous reports of genetic damage. Shall we attempt a mass repair? This will deplete all energy from Omnitrix reserves and immediately de-transform user, if approved." The Omnitrix spoke.

Nitrofrost grimaced. "Let's keep it simple, for now. Still need to be ready to fight the big bad, and I can't risk exposing my true identity," Applejack looked at the frosty cold hero, clearly confused. "It's a superhero thing, it keeps those that my allies and I care about out of danger." Nitrofrost explained.

The Omnitrix scanned the DNAlien in the hero's clutches. "Genetic damage detected. Shall we attempt to repair individually?" The Omnitrix chirped.

Nitrofrost nodded, smiling. "That'll work. With individual repairs being done one at a time, that gives us more capable hands, and it gives me a bit more time to stay transformed." Nitrofrost remarked, approving the action.

The Omnitrix started spinning, blasting the DNAlien with a bright yellow beam, causing it to fade away, revealing an unconscious farm boy that had a few similarities to Applejack. "Big Mac!!" Applejack cried out.

Nitrofrost handed the unconscious farm boy to Applejack, and immediately let the Omnitrix blast a smaller DNAlien, causing an unconscious little girl in a hoodie and shorts to skid across the snow. "Scootaloo, darling, are you alright!?" Rarity called out, pulling the child close.

Nitrofrost glared at the DNAliens approaching, and balled his hands into fists. "Well, that confirms my theory. Canterlot City got hit bad, and they didn't even hesitate to go after children," The frozen cold hero let the Omnitrix continue to cure as many DNAliens as possible. One by one, the DNAliens were either citizens of Rapid City, or citizens of Canterlot City. One DNAlien tried to run towards the alien hero, but immediately tripped and knocked itself unconscious, dropping a large red laser gun in front of the alien hero. The Omnitrix cured that DNAlien, revealing it to be Derpy, who was very much out for the count. "Okay, that just confirms it. I'm going to kill whoever thought taking Canterlot City was a good idea, let alone decent. Now... I'm sure I'll be running out of time soon, so there's gotta be another way to fix them." Nitrofrost theorized.

More DNAliens were starting to get close, and all the while, the Omnitrix was starting to time out. Rarity watched as Nitrofrost immediately got overwhelmed, all while a red flash shined from the crowd of DNAliens. At first, it seemed like it was over for the hero, until someone started beating them back. Chance had been turned back to his normal self, but he wasn't going down to some cheap and clichéd tactic. Chance was showing no mercy for the DNAliens, kicking one down and stomping on them, all while viciously pulling at the xenocite, causing the DNAlien to screech out in pain.

Chance grabbed the laser gun off the ground and started firing at the DNAliens like crazy, an angered yet trained look in the teenager's eyes as they scattered. The teenager looked over at Rarity, then tossed the gun towards her. "Just in case them magic powers fail on you, you'll still be capable of defending yourself. I don't need some fancy weapons to fight." Chance remarked.

Rarity caught the gun, feeling how heavy it was in her arms. She then saw Chance running towards a few DNAliens, instigating a fight as he tackles one to the ground, wrestling the gun out of its hands, and incapacitating the few DNAliens still in the area. Applejack ran to her side, watching as the teenager hunted down the DNAliens on his own. "That guy's heart is in the right place, but it's veritably stupid to go after these things on your own. Should we go after him?" Applejack asked.

Rarity simply smiled. "He can handle himself, darling. For now, we need to get these poor souls somewhere out of the line of fire. If you could be a dear to help me out with that, I'd appreciate it. I don't doubt he'll run into the others at some point." Rarity stated, slinging Derpy's unconscious body onto her back.

Applejack nodded, using her geode to amplify her strength, stacking unconscious bodies onto her own. The girls quickly ran away from the fight, trying to keep each other, and the unconscious safe, only to notice an RV stop in front of them. Luna opened the door. "Get in, hurry!" Luna ordered.

Chance rolled across the ground, taking cover behind a mailbox as he fired the gun at the DNAliens. Where some of them fell, others were much more resilient. The teenager groaned. "Damn it, this gun is slowly becoming more and more useless! I need to fix these people and thin out the horde at the same time, but how do I go about it?" Chance looked everywhere, but then noticed a plug-in wire dangling from the bottom of the clip. Chance looked at the wire with confusion, but then he looked at the Omnitrix. Before he could come to a consensus on his next move, he heard a familiar voice yelling out. Chance looked past his cover, only to see Rainbow Dash, who was being ganged up on by two DNAliens. Chance wasted no time in testing a weightless theory of his, and popped the core up, plugging the chord into the Omnitrix, with both the gun and the Omnitrix emitting a strange powering up noise. "Really hoping this works, because I don't wanna know how bad this could end up hurting someone." Chance remarked.

The teenager rolled away from his cover and pulled the trigger, letting a bright yellow beam blast between the DNAliens. Just when he thought he missed his shot, the beam suddenly split in two, knocking the DNAliens away as the parasites withered away. Chance was very surprised, looking at the gun in his hands. "Huh... I'm definitely gonna have to remember that!" Chance ran forward, seeing Dash try to compose herself.

Chance smiled, and Dash scoffed. "I didn't need your help, but I can appreciate the assist. Thanks." Dash remarked.

Chance nodded his head. "No problem. Not bad for someone so forgettable, huh?" Dash groaned at that response, until the two former DNAliens started to sit up, which initially startled the both of them. One of the two was a much older and stockier fella, who had black hair in the style of a small crewcut, and rather well tanned skin. The other was a woman with dimples, short brown hair, and magenta eyes. Chance looked between the two, then back at Dash. "Guess the apple doesn't fall too far if you throw the flip flop hard enough." Chance remarked.

Dash pushed past him and hugged the two adults, who seemed real eager to see her again. Chance smiled and left it alone, readying his gun as he ran back to the fight. Before he could get too far, Dash sped up and stopped him. "Hey, wait! I got something to say... I know it ain't the best time, but hear me out for a second!" Dash requested.

Chance rolled his eyes and gestured for her to continue. "You get one opportunity, lay it on me." Chance said.

Dash sighed. "I'm sorry about what happened back at Camp Everfree, for both instances. I was being a serious pain in the ass and wanted my friend back, and I wasn't being careful of how I used my powers. Sunset really let me have it, and if she won't accept my apology, then I can only hope to let you know that I didn't mean to cause you such grief. We cool?" Dash apologized.

Chance thought about it for a moment, and immediately slapped Dash across the face, then patted her on the back. Dash wasn't expecting the slap to sting so much, but was equally confused by the smirk on his face. "Now we're cool. Eye for an eye, tit for tat, all that shit. Don't worry about the slap, either. I could've done far worse, but I've developed a sense of restraint, as of late," Dash sighed as Chance walked past her. "Now, you go get your folks out of here, I'll take care of the other freaks on the ground, get them nice and prepared for you to evacuate." Chance stated, running forward as he kept a tight grasp on the gun. Dash smirked and nodded, walking over to her parents as she flew them in one direction.

Chance continued to open fire on numerous DNAliens, causing people to drop to the ground unconscious, letting the explosions and sounds of laser fire ring out. 'So this is what it's like... fighting for freedom, fighting for the people, all while a gun's in my hands, facing a semi-familiar threat to everyone's lives... If this isn't war, then I don't wanna know what this is,' Chance smirked and fired at a few DNAliens, causing them to collapse to the ground, returning to normal. 'Dad, I hope you're looking down at me right now, and I hope you're proud!' the alien hero thought, an excited laugh escaping his lips as he ran at a group of DNAliens, firing without hesitation as they turned back into normal people.

Twilight, Pinkie and Fluttershy were busy fighting back against several DNAliens. Fluttershy was sitting back, trying to let her magic get a moment to recover from prolonged use. Twilight was levitating pieces of debris, chucking them at the DNAliens, and Pinkie was keeping them at bay with her sprinkle bombs. Pinkie wiped the sweat from her brow, feeling exhausted. "Phew, this is tiring work, but I gotta admit that this is much more fun than the usual magic problem we usually deal with! Why don't we deal with stuff like this all the time!?" Pinkie remarked, smiling excitedly.

Twilight sighed at her friend's response, letting a tired smile form on her face. "While I admit, aliens are a breath of fresh air at this moment in time, magic enhanced items are always so easy to deal with, especially since there's usually something to learn from these situations! What exactly is there to learn from this?" Twilight remarked, levitating a DNAlien into the air, and sending them flying back.

One of the DNAliens spews a large glob of goo at Twilight, but before she can try to dodge it, a diamond construct forms in front of her face, to which the goo connects with, causing it to slide onto the ground. Rarity and Applejack jump into action, ready to assist their friends, as does Sunset and Luna. "Nice to finally see you again, face-to-face, that is." Twilight stated.

Sunset nodded. "Despite the circumstances, I can say the same, for the time being. You girls may wanna back up, I'm gonna go wild for a bit," Sunset stepped forward and let her geode glow. The girls, except for Luna, were confused by what Sunset meant, until her eyes and hands started to glow, emitting a bright blue light. Sunset yelled out as numerous bright blue tendrils lashed forward, ensnaring the DNAliens and knocking them around senselessly, then flinging them right towards where Chance was last seen. The girls were surprised, and Dash just came onto the scene, less surprised, and more impressed. Sunset let the glowing light dissipate, and she sighed, taking a knee. Sunset looked back at the girls, letting a small smirk form on her face, despite the exhaustion she was feeling. "So, who wants to prove how sorry they actually are, and who wants to actually be friends again?" Sunset asked coyly.

The girls smiled and helped Sunset back up to her feet, but were soon met by more DNAliens. Before the girls could try fighting back, all the DNAliens got shot, reverting them back into normal people that collapsed onto the ground, rendered unconscious. They looked up, seeing Chance with the gun aimed, his clothes were torn and tattered, but the angered smile on his face told a whole different story. "Partner, you look a bit worse for wear. Ya alright?" Applejack asked.

Before anything could be said, Chance dropped the gun, disconnecting it from the Omnitrix, and walked away. "I'm not done yet. Sure, people are cured, but there's still one more thing to deal with. I'll be right back!" Chance looked at the Omnitrix, seeing it return to its normal green glow. He activated the watch and selected Riptile's icon. Before Sunset or Luna could warn him, Chance had already pushed down on the Omnitrix. In a flash of light, the girls, except for Rarity, were all shocked to see Chance be replaced by Riptile. "I got an albino banana to peel into submission!" Riptile stated, laughing as he leapt away.

The girls looked at Sunset and Luna, who were unsure of how to explain what they just saw. Rarity quickly stepped in front of her friends. "Don't be too mad at them, girls, I knew the whole time, as well," Sunset and Luna were now just as shocked, but Rarity simply smiled. "Look, does it really matter now? People still need to be escorted out of the city! If Chance is going after the 'big bad' as he calls it, he'll need all the help he can get, right?" Rarity inquired.

Sunset nodded, still a bit shocked by Rarity's admission. "W-Well yeah, but why didn't you say anything to them?" Sunset asked.

Rarity's smile never faltered. "He made a pinkie promise to me before you two left for your road trip. He keeps you safe, I keep his secret. With his secret now revealed to the rest of the girls, technically the promise is still unbroken, but it's getting there. It wasn't initially my plan to go behind his back and spread his secret like a blazing fire, darling, I'd only tell people his secret when he was ready for it to be public." Rarity explained.

Applejack crossed her arms, clearly mad at the fashion-savvy girl. "So ya blackmailed him?" Applejack simplified.

Rarity was surprised by Applejack's assumption. "I did not blackmail him! He was fine with the deal we made, and that was it. Besides, do you think our magic would even compare to his alien forms if he went rogue, Applejack, considering Rainbow Dash's electrical attacks couldn't even dent one of the robots?" Rarity questioned.

Applejack was about to answer, until Luna got in-between them. "Both of you, I'm sure this is important to you, but right now, you six need to return to Canterlot City. If there's still more xenocites there, we can't let them roam free. Especially if they end up re-converting the people that have been cured. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie and Rarity, you four will go take care of the remaining Xenocites. Rainbow and Pinkie can handle keeping themselves at a distance, while Rarity and Applejack are more about being up-close. They must be destroyed, don't hesitate and wear protective gear on your faces!" Luna looked towards the other two. "Twilight and Fluttershy, you two need to get everyone home. They need leaders to guide them, as well as people to keep the morale strong. I'm trusting you on this, it's more important than anything!" Luna instructed.

Sunset sighed, looking around as the snow slowly falls. "Sunset, we need to go after mister Marsten. If I had to take a guess on who he's going after, it's the one behind all of this, and I'm hoping it's not who I think it is." Luna instructed.

The girls quickly parted ways, with Sunset and Luna getting into the RV, AJ, Dash, Rarity and Pinkie going back to the streets, readying their respective powers, and Twilight being carried by Fluttershy, who flew them to the city's limits.

Somewhere on the other side of town, a small family is being tormented by several genodromes, until Riptile crashes onto the scene. "Hey, rustbuckets! Why don't you pick on someone with some serious muscle?" As the alien hero said that, numerous more drones start to surround him, leaving the hero mildly surprised, but also excited. The small family quickly run away, all while Riptile gets ready to throw down. "Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Still seems a bit fishy, as if you were expecting me, but I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth this time! It's go time, COME ON!!" Riptile exclaimed.

Riptile lashes his tongue out, grabbing a few drones as he swings them around, destroying several others as he crushes the drones to pieces. Riptile leaps into the air and slashes at the drones, even tearing into them with his jaws, unfazed by the screeching agony of the Xenocites caught in his sharp teeth. Riptile looks around at the carnage he left in his wake, only to suddenly be ensnared in an electrical net, pinning the amphibious croc to one of the nearby buildings. Riptile looked forward, only to notice the large mace rolling towards him. It stops rolling and opens up, and from within it, out steps Reinrassic.

Riptile was shocked, but at the same time, he felt proud, as well as a bit scared at how he's finally seeing this freak in the flesh... well, partially in the flesh, the mechanical limbs were very new to the alien hero. "YOU! You're the son of a bitch from my visions!" Riptile exclaimed.

Reinrassic stepped forward. Despite not having a mouth, Riptile felt as if this creature was smirking at him. "At last, we meet, inferior earthling vermin. The being that has caused me so much trouble, and will now die by my hands." Reinrassic snarled.

Riptile struggled to get out of the net, but he was struggling a fair bit, which was an uncomfortable and unsettling feeling for the teenager. "Okay, so who the hell are you? Saw you a lot in my nightmares, asshole, but I don't have a name to put to your disfigured fruit mug!" Riptile japed.

Reinrassic leered down at the alien hero. "I am known by my people as General Reinrassic II, the sixth noble of the noble Highbreed house of Di Ralla, direct militant descendant of the High Order of Rasecht. Heir to the-Aggrrh!!" Reinrassic was then met by a punch to the face, sending him back a fair few feet, only for him to fully recover.

Riptile finally managed to break through the electrical net, despite having trouble at first. "You're the heir to the throne of not shutting the fuck up! Christ, I'd rather listen to a documentary about how the term 'giving a fuck' ever came to be, than listen to your bullshit," Reinrassic growled as Riptile got back up on his feet. "In layman's terms, you've been the son of a bitch that's been sending drones and making parasites take over people, your bullshit ain't my problem, nor my priority! Get ready to catch these hands, banana boy, because I'm gonna peel you open and split ya down the middle!" Riptile roared out.

Riptile lunged towards Reinrassic, but he ends up catching Riptile in his hand. Reinrassic throws Riptile, sending him hurtling through numerous buildings at a time at high speeds. Riptile eventually lands under a pile of rubble, feeling the pain of the landing as he tries to get up. The alien hero shakes off the pain in a short time and bursts through the rubble. "Urgh... alright, I'm willing to admit that he's tough, but now I'm fuckin' pissed!" With one leap, Reinrassic lands close to the alien hero, causing a minor tremor from his landing. "I gotta slow him down, but how?" Riptile wondered.

Riptile looks over to an abandoned oil truck and gets an idea. Riptile stretches his tongue at the truck and yanks it to the side, flattening Reinrassic underneath it. Riptile quickly gets up and watches as Reinrassic struggles to get himself free, and walks towards him. As this happens, the RV turns a corner and drives directly towards the two combatants. Luna is shocked and angered by Reinrassic's very presence. "No... it- -i-it can't be!" Luna stammered, clenching her teeth.

Riptile grins smugly as Reinrassic attempts to get up. "Not so tough when you can't move, are you, fruity-tooty?" Riptile quipped, chuckling.

Before Riptile could get another word in, the RV comes to a screeching halt beside him, with Sunset opening the door. "Chance, Luna needs you to get in, now!" Sunset told him.

Riptile raised an eyebrow. "Whatcha talkin' about? I was just about to peel his alien ass!" Right as he said that, the Omnitrix started timing out, and Riptile growled out of irritation. "You little motherFU-" a red flash envelops the alien hero, transforming Chance back into his normal self. "No! Come the fuck on, Omnitrix! Who's side are you on!? I was about to peel this albino fruit fly several ways to next Sunday!" Chance ranted.

Luna made her way to the door, a rage burned in her eyes. "Chance Marsten!!" The teen hero flinched. "Get in the RV now, young man!" Luna furiously demanded.

Chance smiled and laughed nervously. "Well when you say it like that, who am I to refuse!" Chance remarked nervously, quickly hopping into the RV.

The trio immediately drives away, speeding down the road while Reinrassic finally frees himself, watching with a patient fury as the RV drives further and further away.

As the RV drives down the road, Chance is still keeping an eye out for Reinrassic. "Well, this didn't go to plan at all. I was so close to peeling that fruity albino bastard, then you guys show up out of the blue! I had it handled, mostly." Chance argued.

Luna sighs. "Chance, please listen to me. Believe me when I say: You do not wanna pick a fight with Reinrassic. You and Sunset are not ready to face someone like him. I tried to prepare you for this, but it wasn't enough!" Luna stated firmly.

Chance was now very confused. "Wait... how did you know his name, when you came late to the ass beating?" Chance questioned.

Sunset groaned. "Luna, tell him, for the love of Celestia! If this 'Reinrassic' guy is as dangerous as you claim him to be, some answers and explanations would be nice right about now!" Sunset remarked.

Luna sat in silence, all while genodromes were homing in on the RV. "Two robots, coming in faster than a stock car race!" Chance announced.

Luna tightens her seatbelt. "Sit down and hold on." Luna stated.

Luna speeds up, swerving the RV from left to right, all while evading the genodromes' laser attacks. "As impressive as this is, we can't keep that up forever! We need another option!" Sunset reached into her seat, grabbing the same laser gun that Chance abandoned earlier. "You might wanna use this, bud. You seem like you've got a better handle on it than I do." Sunset remarked.

Luna groaned. "Look, things will get better when we get to Mount Rushmore. Please, just trust me on this, you two!" Luna called out.

Sunset groaned. "Give us a reason to trust you right now! Why are you so dead set on going to Mount Rushmore!?" Sunset argued.

Luna gripped the wheel tightly. "Sunset, this is not the time to explain! I need to focus on the road!" Luna reminded.

Chance grabbed the gun and opened the door, aiming the gun carefully. "Come meet your maker, you piles of space junk! Your mother was an alien sex toy, and your daddy was a spoiled fruit basket!" Chance viciously exclaimed, squeezing the gun's trigger as hard as he physically could.

The genodromes evaded the lasers fired by the alien hero, but Chance decided on another tactic. He climbed onto the roof of the RV, and started aiming. Chance fired random bursts of fire at the drones, managing to rip right through one of them, causing it to crash and explode on the road. The other drone tried to dive at the Omnitrix wearer, but Chance quickly started wielding the gun like a club, and smashed it away, breaking the drone, as well as the gun. The drone eventually crashed onto the road, exploding into pieces, which made Chance feel rather proud. "Hah! Suck it, you extraterrestrial trash pile!" Chance taunted.

Chance quickly hopped back into the RV and closed the door. "Well, I got that handled! Who says you need powers to be a hero!" Chance remarked, feeling proud of himself.

Luna and Sunset let out a sigh of relief, only for Luna to then notice something launching into the sky, according to her rearview mirror. Luna's eyes widened, and she sped up more, all while something huge crashed into the road behind them, causing a huge tremor to echo out. "Don't tell me... the top banana got loose, and now he's gonna turn us into human puree?" Chance asked.

Luna sighed. "Reinrassic is not an easy foe to face. He was a problem back then, and he's still a problem now." Luna lamented.

Chance smiled. "That sounds familiar," Another tremor shook the RV, and Chance noticed that the Omnitrix was green again. "Alright, I got a plan, but you're not gonna like it, Luna," Sunset looked at her friend as he dialed in one of his aliens. "I'm going to go outside and give that albino fruit fly a much more thorough swatting! While I deal with him, you two will have enough time to head to Rushmore, for whatever reason Luna has to be there. It's the only way!" Chance remarked.

Luna shuddered in her seat. "Chance, no! That is a very grave decision!" Luna argued, a hint of fear and concern broke from her tone.

Chance shrugged. "Either I buy you two time, or he catches up to us and crushes this RV like a soda can in a hydraulic press, which is it? Life or Death?" Luna and Sunset were silent, and Chance nodded. "That's what I thought. I know this is a bad idea, but it's mine to make happen. Ironic, isn't it? This is the only plan I have, where none of us kick the bucket. I've been on a road trip with a couple of Martyrdoms!" Chance quipped, smiling as he pressed the core down, transforming into Fumesquito.

The large mosquito alien flies out of the RV, and starts to taunt the alien general. "Come on, fruity-tooty! Ya want the Omnitrix, right? Come and get it, banana boy!" Fumesquito taunted, flying back the way the general came from.

Reinrassic immediately started chasing after Fumesquito, all while Sunset could only watch as her friend risked his life for theirs. "I know what you're thinking, Sunset, and I know he needs help. We will go back for him, but we need to get some special help, or we'll get ourselves killed." Luna reassured.

Sunset sighed. "Let me guess, that 'help' is at Mount Rushmore?" Luna nodded her head, all while Sunset sat down in the front seat, trying to make sense of everything that's happened today. "Luna, if he somehow lives through any of this, you'll have to tell him eventually, there's no other ways about it." Sunset reprimanded.

Meanwhile, Fumesquito was evading Reinrassic's attacks, and managed to get the villain to jump into the river, which bought the alien hero some time to breathe. "Phew! Good thing I got some practice in with Fumesquito's style of flying! I was floating like a butterfly, and I'm as hard to kill like a Mosquito!" Fumesquito remarked.

From behind the alien hero, Reinrassic jumps a long distance and tackles the insectoid hero, and while Fumesquito does manage to get back in the air, Reinrassic kept his grip on one of his legs. "Give me the Omnitrix, pesky vermin!" Reinrassic demanded.

Fumesquito responds to him by spraying gas on him to knock him off. Reinrassic doesn't seem that affected by it, which surprises the alien hero, yet he attempts to tackle him again. Fumesquito dodges, but it's clear that Reinrassic is a lot more persistent than Chance initially thought. "Man, who the fuck is this guy!?" Fumesquito asked himself.

Reinrassic starts to chase the alien hero across the rooftops of the city. Reinrassic was starting to finally lose his patience with the constant game of cat and mouse, and finally attempts to tackle Fumesquito again, this time into a building, which somehow causes a large explosion thereafter.

As the smoke clears, Reinrassic holds Fumesquito in one hand, finally having the alien hero in his grasp. "I grow tired of this! Give me the Omnitrix, now!!" Reinrassic commanded.

Fumesquito rolled his compounded eyes. "Not gonna happen, you albino fruit fly!" Fumesquito remarked.

As Reinrassic holds the alien hero in one of his hands, he readies a finger on his other hand, causing it to glow red, then reverts Fumesquito back into Chance
after manually touching the Omnitrix symbol. Chance is confused at first, but then becomes surprised and worried. "Huh!? W-What in the!?" Chance looked up at Reinrassic, who was equally as surprised, as he was livid, which was absolute. "Well... I guess I need to figure out that trick, just in case I wanna spare the recharge time on this thing." Chance remarked nervously.

Reinrassic's numerous eyes started to twitch as his grip on the human teenager tightened, which made Chance flinch and wince from the increasing amount of pain. "A teenager... The Omnitrix has been in the hands of a mere human teenager!?" Reinrassic exclaimed, clearly frustrated by how he's been bested by a simple member of the human race's youth.

Chance shrugged his shoulders. "In all fairness, had I known your expectations would be so high, would've just told you right off the bat that I'm not the person you think I am." Chance defended.

Reinrassic then attempts to forcibly remove the Omnitrix from Chance’s wrist, but it emits a feedback which pushes Reinrassic against a building. He recovers instantly, while Chance slowly gets back on his feet. "It appears the Omnitrix has already merged with your own DNA, how unfortunate." Reinrassic remarked.

Chance starts to back up, chuckling nervously. "And yet, you are approaching me... you're not gonna let this go, are you?" Chance asked awkwardly.

Reinrassic shook his head. "Hardly." Reinrassic answered.

Chance gulped, now genuinely terrified. "At least you were honest, so in kind," Chance grabbed some dirt and threw it at Reinrassic's face, then immediately tried to run. "I never did fight fair!" Chance exclaimed.

Chance attempted to run away, but he didn't get far when something pricked him in the back. Chance fell to the ground, his body paralyzed and rendered immobile. Reinrassic plucks one of his claw projectiles out of his back, and carries Chance's body to the large mace that rolled up to him. "Your attempt to flee was underhanded... perhaps there's hope for you yet, vermin." Reinrassic stated, tossing Chance's body into the mace, and getting inside it himself. The mace closes up, and drives away, with Chance now held captive.

Meanwhile, Luna is driving along a side road in Mt. Rushmore. Sunset watches Luna closely, questioning whether or not this was in relation to the situation Chance was now in. He stops in front of a "ROAD CLOSED" sign, and Sunset is unsure as to what exactly they were doing on a restricted path. "Uh, miss Luna? I-I don't think tourists are allowed on this road." Sunset pointed out nervously.

Luna smiled. "We're not tourists, miss Shimmer. We're tenants," Luna reaches under the dashboard, and presses a button that Sunset didn't notice before. The ground beneath them appears to be an elevator, which transports them to a massive underground facility. Sunset is surprised, and very much in awe. "If you think this is impressive, just wait till we find the tool we're looking for. It's gonna blow Reinrassic's ass all the way back to his sterilized planet." Luna remarked.

Sunset was caught off guard by that remark, and was about to say something, but soon enough, the elevator stops, and Luna unbuckles herself. "Come on, it should be around B-Section 11-2. That's where the big boy toys are usually stored." Luna commented, letting an excited smile form on her face.

Sunset blinked her eyes and followed behind Luna, now genuinely concerned. "Never have I seen you so giddy about wanting to kill something... I don't know whether to respect you, or be afraid for you." Sunset stated, genuinely confused as to what exactly Luna just expressed.

Luna and Sunset travel the corridors of the facility and it's covered with hundreds of compartments. Luna pulls out a white and red badge and starts to open several of them, and they contain devices, which don't appear to be human technology. And much to Sunset's own dwindling sense of patience, none of it was what Luna was looking for. Sunset continues to keep following her, but soon loses her patience. "Okay, stop! I need answers to all of this, and you're gonna give an answer or two, Now! What the hell is going on out there?! Why aren't we helping Chance right now? What even is this place? And most importantly of all, how the hell do you know about that alien guy who's after Chance? Why does he want the Omnitrix so bad?!" Sunset questioned, panting as she tried to calm herself down.

Eventually, Luna finds what she was looking for. She picks up part of the equipment and wears it on her forehead. "Those are all very good questions, miss Shimmer, so I'll answer a couple of those questions. Mount Rushmore is a plumber base. I told you I was a plumber back in the day, but to be completely transparent with you hon," Sunset watches as Luna carries a large and deadly-looking weapon, a light blue cannon of some sort, to be specific. "Let's just say, I wasn't exactly a normal plumber before I retired." Luna commented, smirking as she effortlessly carries the cannon back to the RV, all while Sunset looks on, amazed, shocked, and even more confused than she already was.

On Reinrassic's ship, Chance starts to slowly come to, only to find himself restrained on some machine in a dark room. Where his left hand and feet were both held by some kind of bright energy field, his right arm was entirely locked into a large gray cylinder device. 'Well, using the Omnitrix is out of the question, for now.' Chance thought.

Soon enough, the lights came on in a blinding flash, which momentarily blinded him, until he finally recognized a few drones, as well as some DNAliens. Chance looked to the right, seeing Reinrassic typing away at a console, looking over some futuristic screens and data. "A teenager. I should have suspected as such," Reinrassic looked at Chance with disgust. "The Omnitrix being used as a means for pointless choices!" Reinrassic berated.

Chance rolled his eyes. "Oh cry me a river and kiss my ass, fruity-tooty! I've saved a lot of people with the Omnitrix, and it's sure as hell ain't pointless, ya fuckin' space racist!" Chance argued.

Reinrassic swung his fist at him, only for Chance to narrowly duck his head, making him miss. "Impudent fool! You hold the key to a power struggle so ancient, so vast, it is beyond your feeble comprehension," Chance rolled his eyes, completely uninterested. "Picture an entire army, each in command of an Omnitrix and all at my command. I will be invincible. I will rule the Universe! And the only thing standing between me and my destiny... is you!" Reinrassic growled.

One of the DNAliens presses a button, causing an array of tools to rise up from the floor, intimidating Chance a fair bit. "Now, are we going to do this the easy way, or the hard way, human?" Reinrassic asked.

Chance gritted his teeth and hocked a loogie onto Reinrassic's face, causing the general to panic and fall backwards. "How about we skip to the part where I get out of here, and kick your non-existent teeth in!?" Chance threatened.

Reinrassic swung at Chance again, with Chance narrowly dodging the hit that time, but for Reinrassic, it was disastrous. Reinrassic destroyed the machine that had the Omnitrix locked within it, and Chance quickly pushed the button with his nose and pushed the core down with his face, transforming into Armethyst. The energy fields were absorbed into his body, and then fired them at Reinrassic, who got pushed back against the wall. Armethyst tore his way through one of the doors and immediately started running. "Get him!! Do not let him escape!!" Reinrassic commanded.

Back at Mount Rushmore, the RV emerges from the elevator that led to the underground facility. As the RV speeds down the road, Luna hooks her badge on the front of her shirt. "Let me explain, Sunset. This weapon in particular, is keyed into Reinrassic's bio-signature. This weapon was literally made to take him down. Hopefully, it'll take him down for good this time." Luna remarked.

Sunset's eyes widened, now growing more concerned. "This time?!" Sunset exclaimed.

Luna immediately realized what she said, and put her face into the palm of her hand. "It failed once, and I'm hoping that the second time's the charm. Look, there's a small red button under that cabinet. Press it real quick," Sunset opened the cabinet and pressed the button she never saw before, and as she did, a holographic display shows up in front of them. Sunset is speechless, she's run out of things to even describe what's happening. "GPS-assisted tracking system. It's locked on the watch's signal, and right now, it's activated and on the move, Chance must be trying to escape. I'll steer, you navigate." Luna instructed.

Sunset gulped and observed the holographic display, confused and excited to figure it out.

Armethyst quickly ducks into one of the rooms, hiding amongst the shadows as DNAliens and robots pass him by, completely unaware. Armethyst sighed and looked at the room, only to be very surprised when he sees six more people. They were all in energy cages, and seemed to be miserable. Two of them seemed to look like Jump-Kick, but they looked very different. One was a brighter shade of blue and seemed more parrot-like with the yellow highlights on their feathers, and the other seemed to have feather-covered fins on the backs of their legs, as well as bright lavender feathers.

The other two individuals were pretty strange themselves. They looked like bipedal cats, but dressed in robes with black markings on their faces, and their fur was more of a blue-gray color. One was taller, thinner yet more built physically. The other was much older than the first one. They had a scraggly white beard, and seemed displeased by Armethyst's presence.

The last two were rather odd. One looked like a normal human lady, but dressed in strange armor and spandex with a bushy monkey tail, lots of muscle and hair on her body, but upon seeing Armethyst, she stanced herself up like a gorilla, barring her fangs. The other seemed to have a duplicitous air about them. They looked a lot like Armethyst, even down to the suit he wore. The only difference was the red eye they had, the green color of their crystals, and the lack of an Omnitrix being on their person.

Armethyst sighed. "I'm gonna assume that the albino fruit fly put you all in here, just because you're different?" Armethyst asked.

The younger cat biped shook his head. "That is partially the reason, Quarzisapien. We were all abducted from our homeworlds, just so that we could be a reminder to the next unfortunate race that crosses paths with the Highbreed. They took us all from our planets, essentially deployed their parasites onto our people like a biological weapon. They have tried to break us, but we have been dubbed as 'too resilient'. Pray tell, how did they capture you, Quarzisapien?" the man explained.

Armethyst sighed. "I'm not always a uh... what'd you call me, a 'Quarzisapien'?" The cat man nodded. "Yeah, this isn't what I usually look like, pal. Ya see this badge on me? The Omnitrix has me transformed into Armethyst, it's what I call this guy. But, I suppose proper introductions are in order. I'm Chance Marsten, happy to meet ya." Armethyst introduced.

The cat man smiled. "I am Rook Blonko, son of Rook Da, the man who is very suspicious of your being here," Armethyst turned to the other cat man, who was glaring at the transformed teenager. Rook suddenly realized what the stranger just said. "Wait, did you say that was the Omnitrix? The fabled Magnum Opus of the Galvan race?!" Rook asked, seeming genuinely interested.

The monkey lady scoffed. "Cat boy needs to shut trap for once. Army-Trix isn't real. Was wiped out. puny frog nerds gone too. Army-Trix is myth, like Frieza clan!" the lady remarked.

Armethyst scowled at the lady. "Sure got a big mouth, for someone who looks like they belong in a whorehouse, or did you grow up in a zoo? Hard to tell, really." Armethyst taunted.

The lady growled and slammed a fist against the barrier, only to be shocked and immediately back off. "I see... the barriers are your prison. I could let you all out, but I want some help in return," Rook was listening intently, all while the lady just stared the crystal guy down. "You help me escape this place, I'll find a way to get you all back home. How's that sound?" Armethyst offered.

Rook's expression fell, and sadness washed over him. "A kind and thoughtful offer, truly, but our homes are gone. Once the Atasian has claimed every life with their parasites, turning them into subservient grunts, the planet is destroyed. Do you not find it ironic that me and my father are the only ones who survived the invasion of Revonnah?" Armethyst looked at Rook Da, who now had his back turned to the alien hero. "Father has been unwilling to move on, unwilling to believe that mother, and our sisters, have made it out alive, or made it to a much better place. The Revonnahganders are doomed to die, unfortunately. Two males surviving, it is a foreboding omen passed down by our ancestors every Harvest Moon. Now, we fear that it will come true." Rook explained solemnly.

Armethyst was disturbed, angry, absolutely livid, sympathetic. "So... you six are the last of your species, all because of that giant white freak who's hunting me down?" They all looked miserable in their individual prisons. Chance felt it deep inside himself, he felt what they felt, and that was their hope, dying out like smoldering embers in a blizzard. Armethyst grabbed the energy fields that contained Blonko and Da, feeling the energy course through him as the fields deactivate. "Then let's see about getting you six settled down on Earth, just until we can fix all of this mess." Armethyst suggested.

One by one, Armethyst absorbed the energy from the barriers and helped them out. "You help escape? Why help us?" The lady inquired.

Rook Da nodded his head. "The Saiyan is correct in her questioning. Why help us escape, when you could've escaped already and save your own skin? You humans aren't always like this, are you?" Rook Da questioned.

Armethyst suddenly heard the Omnitrix start beeping, and let it flash. In a flash of red light, Armethyst was turned back into Chance, and he stared Rook Da in the face, surprising the man, as well as the lady. "Because I know what it's like to be trapped, and to lose hope. Some of you may doubt me and my capabilities, and you can have your opinions, but I've already had a shitty life with terrible people, the fact that I'm going out of my way to help you, should say a lot about how you bastards have probably misjudged others, and turned away great opportunities for the friends, families, and loved ones you've lost." Chance stated bluntly. The lady and Rook Da looked at each other, realizing that the myth, was in fact true.

Chance took a deep breath, and sighed. "Let me tell you about myself. My dad is dead, my mother is a shell of her former self, and she's letting a drunk drug addict stay with us. They caused me pain beyond reasonable belief for the past five years, and made me despise them beyond rational comprehension... but now, I have a new family, one that's worth fighting for, even worth dying for. A friend who cares about me, a mentor who's the closest thing I have to a proper mother figure. I'm not gonna let that albino fruit fly-lookin' bastard take them away from me, and you all deserve to have your lives back, to stop living in fear of that disgusting, prejudiced abomination. Help me put a stop to his plans, help me escape, and I'll help you find somewhere in the universe to hide, free from the Highbreed's reign of terror and tyrannical horror." Chance offered.

The lady stared the teenager down. "Human not tricking us, right? Zuchi hate tricks!" Zuchi remarked.

Chance smiled. "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye," the numerous races stared at him strangely. "It's Earth's way of saying 'We won't back out of a promise'." Chance explained.

The aliens nodded, and Chance looked to the doorway, seeing numerous drones aimed their way. "Let's go kick that fruit fly where the sun don't shine! Get 'em!!" Chance yelled out.

Meanwhile, Luna and Sunset arrive just in time, nearing Reinrassic's ship in the RV. "Alright, there's the ship. Now what do we do?" Sunset asked.

Luna took a deep breath and smiled. "We're going to board that ship, that's what we're gonna do!" Luna stated.

Sunset raised an eyebrow, clearly confused. "Board the ship, from here? How do you expect to do that?" Sunset asked cautiously.

Luna smirks, which made Sunset very nervous. Luna presses another button on the console that flips out of the dashboard. The RV's bumper extends and it spreads out. The RV then accelerates at a significant rate, which then launches them off the cliff, sending them hurting towards Reinrassic's ship. "Oh my god!!!" Sunset screamed, covering her face with her arms, bracing herself for the end.

Back inside the ship, it's now mass hysteria. The two Jump-Kick aliens are busting through the drones, all while the Armethyst guy simply swats DNAliens out of their path. Zuchi fires a bright orange beam of energy at the door, blowing it open as they all make a run for it. Chance notices that the Omnitrix is still red, but he's not worried about that. Hell, he's not worried at all, rather excited, actually. Chance runs forward, noticing Reinrassic was distracted with something. Chance pointed over to a huge line of escape pods, and gestured for them to move. Rook Da, the Armethyst guy, and the two Jump-Kick aliens moved towards the escape pods, but Rook Blonko and Zuchi stayed right beside him.

Chance raised an eyebrow, clearly confused as to why they weren't going with the others. "Hey, what's the big idea? I'm trying to help you, so why aren't you going to the damn escape pods?" Chance asked quietly.

Rook shook his head. "You are a brave human. Combined with the fact that you wield the Omnitrix, the device of myth and legend across numerous galaxies, you are the last hope for every world. It would only make sense to stay behind, to help you fight this monster, to avenge those we have lost to their cruelty." Rook explained.

Zuchi put her fist to her chest. "Zuchi sense potential in human. Untapped potential. Zuchi help human, so human is good fight for Zuchi later." Zuchi stated bluntly.

Chance was very confused, but he had to admit, he admired their spirit. "I like both of your styles. Thoughtful, yet straight to the point." Chance stated.

The three stepped out of their hiding place, and Chance whistled to Reinrassic. "Hey, albino fruit fly! Still lookin' for me?" Chance announced.

Reinrassic turned towards the three of them, unfazed by their presence. "You've found some allies of your own. Clever boy, but you will not be leaving this ship alive, especially not with the Omnitrix still attached to you." Reinrassic firmly stated.

Zuchi cackled. "Stupid bug fruit no match. Three on one, got you beat!" Zuchi remarked.

Reinrassic chuckled, which confused the wielder of the Omnitrix. "You think I'll fight you alone?" Rook Da screams out as a xenocite latches to his face. The same happens to the two Jump-Kick birds, as well as the Armethyst guy, though he doesn't seem affected. He just pulls the xenocite off and hops into one of the pods, leaving the rest to their fate. The three unfortunate souls soon got up, parts of their bodies now warped and twisted, mutated into DNAlien parts. Rook froze, he was terrified, but he couldn't bring himself to move or speak. Chance gritted his teeth and looked back at Reinrassic, who seemed rather pleased with himself. "Let's see how you fare against them, then we'll see if you can still take me on." Reinrassic suggested.

Chance groaned, then looked at the Omnitrix. "We'll see about that, Reiny," Chance twisted the Omnitrix and tapped at it, trying to get it to work. "Come on, you need to work now! There's a bunch of DNAliens on this ship, and they need to be cured!" Chance beckoned, trying to invoke some kind of response from the watch.

Zuchi got into her stance, letting a powerful blue aura flare up around her, all while a wicked grin formed on her face. "Zuchi know not what human speak of, but Zuchi buy human time to power up! Hyyyaaaarrrrh!!" Zuchi rushed forward, knocking the recently affected Rook Da back, sending them flying into a wall. "Puny parasites can't handle Zuchi!" Zuchi roared out, laughing in excitement.

Chance looked towards Rook, who was clearly disheartened by recent events. "Rook, I need ya to focus! Yes, it's sad what happened to your old man, I get it, but moping and being scared ain't gonna solve anything!" Rook looked to the teenager, seeing a glint of determination in his eyes. "Grab a weapon, and help her before she lets her guard down, I don't know a damn thing about Saiyans, but I really don't wanna fight a DNAlien version of one! I'll keep Reinrassic busy... First opportunity you both get to leave, you two need to go, even if it means leaving me behind! Don't feel bad, I'm used to it by this point." Chance reassured.

Chance continued to mess with the Omnitrix, all while Rook grabbed a metal pole and ran to help the saiyan lady. Soon enough, the Omnitrix does activate, but it's mainly through that same yellow glow, and the DNA Helix shape being formed. "I really need to know if there's a manual for this damn thing, and I'm gonna hope to god it's in English. Omnitrix, you've done this a few times already, what in the fuck have you been doing?!" Chance commented.

The Omnitrix did not respond in the way he had hoped, but in a way, it did give him home. "Omnitrix has detected numerous reports of genetic damage on space-faring vessel. Shall we attempt a mass repair? Omnitrix battery life will be reduced down to fifty-percent, if approved." The Omnitrix chirped.

Chance looked up, only to narrowly roll out of the way of Reinrassic's attack. "Do it, as long as I have enough juice for one transformation, go for it! Mass repair!" Chance approved.

The Omnitrix blinked and started to spin on its own, glowing brighter and brighter. "No, you won't do this to me!" Reinrassic exclaimed, throwing a large crate at the teen hero.

Chance jumps out of the way, sliding across the floor as the Omnitrix lets out a huge pulse of bright yellow light, one that encompassed the entirety of Reinrassic's ship. Numerous xenocites started to wither away, and the DNAliens on board started to change back into their normal selves, ranging from members of the Revonnahganders, to very few saiyans, to a whole bunch of alien races that had no idea what was going on. "Genetic repairs complete. All genetic damage has been repaired. Omnitrix battery life is down to fifty-percent." The Omnitrix acknowledged.

The xenocites on the two Jump-Kick aliens, as well as the one on Rook Da, withered away, freeing them from the parasite's influence. Zuchi looked back at the human, seeing him stand tall, smirking as Reinrassic approached. "Sorry, was that important?" Chance asked in a mocking sincere tone.

Reinrassic swatted Chance to the side, knocking his body against the wall of the ship. Chance felt as if his body was breaking, but he still tried to pick himself up. He wiped his face, feeling a bit of blood pour from his nose, staining his lips. "You... You took my subservient drones! Now I'll have to start over again!!" Reinrassic roared out.

Chance smirked, taking deep breaths as he continued to attempt picking himself up. "W-Well... that must suck for you, but I don't think you should be acting all high and mighty... how about I show you how much I don't care, by painting the soles of my shoes, with what little brains you have," Chance clung to the wall as he got himself upright. "You're gonna die regardless, so might as well accept it." Chance stated firmly.

Reinrassic presses a button on his mechanical arm, unsheathing a large energy blade from a small compartment. The alien general wields the blade and walks toward the exhausted an battered teen hero. "Tell me who you are, vermin." Reinrassic commanded.

Chance smirked. "I'm Chance Marsten, the wielder... of the Omnitrix." Chance introduced.

Reinrassic raised the blade above his head, and looked down at the human, unwavered and unfazed by the alien's intent to kill. "Chance Marsten, you have been a pain in my side, but that will soon change when I hack the Omnitrix from your lifeless corpse," Reinrassic watched as Chance sat against the metal wall. "Any last words, vermin?" Reinrassic asked.

Chance smiled and held the Omnitrix up with what strength he could muster. "It's Hero Time." Chance said defiantly.

Reinrassic shook his head and prepared to strike the human down, until he's interrupted by beeping, which comes from the RV. Before anyone knew what happened next, the RV crashes through the wall, and runs through two of Reinrassic's genodromes, and slams Reinrassic himself against the wall. The RV goes back a few yards in reverse. As Reinrassic slowly gets up, he snarls at the teen hero. "You planned this, didn't you?!" Reinrassic roared out.

Chance crawled along the floor, all while Rook and Zuchi helped the teenager to his feet. "You had me at your mercy, dipshit! On an unrelated note," Chance looked at the RV. "How in the fuck did they get it up here?" Chance wondered.

An alarm continues to blare. "Warning! Hull breach! Power surge!" The alert spoke out.

The RV's door is kicked open, and Luna steps out, equipped with the weapon she was looking for, and aimed it at Reinrassic, with a vindictive sneer on her face. "Claws off my boy, Reinrassic!" Luna warned.

Chance's jaw had dropped. "Miss Luna!?" Chance called out.

Reinrassic got up, surprised at first by the woman's presence, but once he recognized her, he sneered. "Equinox!" Reinrassic growled venomously.

Without a moment's hesitation, Luna fires the weapon at Reinrassic, and he's sent through the wall. Luna fires it again, sending Reinrassic flying through another. Carefully, Luna drops the weapon and runs towards Chance, seeing that he was being supported by Rook and Zuchi. "I see you've been busy, mister Marsten. Friends of yours?" Luna asked with a smile.

Chance chuckled. "Yeah, you could say that. Nothing like a good ol' fashioned jailbreak to make some friends," Chance suddenly realized just how odd this was, and immediately tried to bring himself back to his train of thought. "Now you wait a nit-picking minute, lady! What the hell is going on?! You know of that albino fruit fly, you're not weirded out at all around other aliens, and where the hell did you get that weapon... on an unrelated note, can I get one?" Chance asked.

Luna smiled and hugged the teen hero tightly. "It's a long story, and I'll explain later. Right now, we need to leave. Not sure how you befriended a Saiyan, but I suppose I can't complain. The moment we broke through the wall, we saw numerous aliens escaping the ship, mainly through escape pods." Luna remarked.

Chance sighed as he looked to Rook and Zuchi. "Well, I suppose everything worked out, for now at least. You two should probably get going, I got some personal issues to work out with that giant fruit fly, and it's not gonna be a pretty sight. I don't doubt that we'll see each other again, so don't consider this a goodbye, more like, a farewell." Chance expressed.

Rook bowed his head. "It was an honor to fight alongside you, wielder of the Omnitrix. I promise you, the Revonnahganders will sing songs of praise about your guiding hand, as well as your iron fist." Rook thanked, running over to his father.

Zuchi put her fist to her chest, and Chance did the same. "Become good fight for Zuchi." Zuchi requested, flying to one of the escape pods.

Chance smiled, looking over at Luna. "Nice people." Chance remarked.

Sunset stepped out, marveling at the fact that she was in an actual alien spaceship. "Woah, Twilight's gonna be freaking out when I tell her all about this!" Chance looked over at Sunset, and immediately limped over to her, pulling the girl into a bear hug. "Whoa!! Good to see you too, bud! Did Reinrassic go down for good this time?" Sunset asked.

The ship rumbles, starting to take off. "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Right now," numerous genodromes fly onto the scene, readying their weapons. "It's Hero Time!" Chance exclaimed.

Chance grabs the metal pole Rook left behind and glares at the machines. Several drones rush in to attack, with Chance having to deal with three of them. Sunset uses her geode, then ensnares two robots with her magical tendrils, crushing them with ease. Luna rolls to the side and grabs a laser gun, firing the drones down as they try to intercept the Omnitrix. Chance rolls out of the way, despite his body hurting severely, and manages to jam the pole into one of the drones, then proceeds to smack another drone with it. With two drones down, Chance discards the metal pole and jumps towards the drone, grabbing a hold of it as he tries to tear it apart, but to no avail. Chance maneuvers the drone towards the wall and leaps off, letting the drone crash into it, destroying itself.

As the ship continues to lose altitude, Luna quickly runs over to a console. "I need to get this ship under control!" Luna exclaimed, typing away.

Chance looked surprised, then looked at Sunset. "She can fly a spaceship?!" Chance asked.

Sunset shrugged her shoulders. "At this point, are you really surprised? Because I'm not." Sunset remarked.

Luna smiled. "I told you, miss Shimmer, if you thought the base was crazy, you're in for plenty more surprises!" Luna remarked.

Chance was very surprised, looking at his friend with utter shock. "You knew?!" Chance exclaimed.

Sunset laughed nervously, but then Chance pulled her into another tight hug. "Guess that explains why you two were acting so strange. I love you guys, but let me in on this kind of stuff next time, will ya! We're in this together!" Chance remarked.

Luna tries to control the ship, unaware that Reinrassic, unexpectedly, walks out of the room he was blasted into and throws her aside, tossing her towards the breach in the hull. Luna stopped just short of the edge and Reinrassic walks over, trying to crush her beneath his robotic foot. "You're getting less and less aware every day, Equinox. You are not going to stop me this time!" Reinrassic proclaimed.

Sunset and Chance were shocked. "Miss Luna!!" The two exclaimed in unison.

Luna struggles to break free, and she can't help but wonder why the weapon didn't work. "So much for a second chance at victory." Luna grunted.

Reinrassic chuckled. "Your weapon won't help, Equinox. As you can see, I'm much stronger than in our last encounter. With every year that passed me by, I became more and more pure! I became stronger, faster, more capable than I ever was before... your time is at an end, say your goodbyes!" Reinrassic remarked.

Sunset used her magical tendrils to try and pull Reinrassic off, but instead, Reinrassic pulled her close and shoved her away. Chance gritted his teeth, frozen in place by terror, just like Rook was. 'What the hell am I gonna do? The Omnitrix has half of its power drained, and Luna is at that thing's mercy... I shouldn't be scared of him. I shouldn't be scared right now...' Chance gripped his head, falling to his knees. 'No... I'm not scared, I'm overthinking this! Chance, listen to yourself! You can't just stand there and let that albino fruit fly get away with this! You're a hero, damn it, act like one! You've fought to stay alive all your life, even if those threats were grains of sand compared to Reinrassic himself, but are you really going to let him take another family from you?! Are you that far from saving!?' Chance thought to himself.

Chance got up and backed away, hanging his head low. Sunset watched as her friend moved, seeing him tightening his fists, clenching his teeth, the way he felt the heat radiating from his body from a few feet away, the way it burned like an exploding star, Sunset was unsure as to what Chance was doing, but he looked back at Luna, who was starting to lose the struggle.

Chance looked to the wall he was now backed up against. Chance got on all fours, getting to a track racer's position, as if they're preparing to run. Reinrassic was so close to winning the struggle, but then felt a strange heat emanating from the ship. "What is the meaning of this?" Reinrassic questioned.

Before anyone knew what happened, Chance lunged right towards Reinrassic, roaring out in a rage. "You wanna die that bad, bastard? Then let me escort you to hell!!" Chance roared out in a fury. Reinrassic was prepared to fend the human off, but to his own surprise, Chance tackled Reinrassic out of the hole in the hull, the both of them fell down towards Rushmore.

Luna and Sunset are astonished, then horrified as they look down below. "CHANCE!!" The two exclaimed.

Luna quickly got up, feeling a sense of panic. "We need to get out of here!" Sunset exclaimed.

The both looked towards the RV. Where Luna was a bit excited by the idea, Sunset was rightfully terrified.

Reinrassic hits the ground, with Chance landing on top of him feet first, bouncing off of the general, and falling onto the ground, landing on his butt. Immediately, Chance got up and rushed towards the general, getting on top of him as he starts to attack him. Reinrassic gets up and tosses Chance off of him, only for Chance to spontaneously recover, growling with a wild look in his eyes. "For a hairless ape, you are impressively persistent. But no longer will I play second best to some biped vermin!" Reinrassic gritted, walking towards the human.

Just as Reinrassic was about to grab Chance, the teen hero grabbed his arm and hard onto his hand, causing Reinrassic to roar out in pain, as well as disgust, then flings the teenager back, only to notice a bit of white skin was now trapped between his teeth. "You are a feral creature! A lowlife undeserving of the Omnitrix's vast ancient power!" Reinrassic insulted.

Chance spat the skin out of his mouth and sneered. "And you're the bastard son of a racist who's just as undeserving of its power. See, I can point out the obvious too!" Chance countered.

The two ran towards each other, the final fight was on. Reinrassic swung at Chance, but the human managed to roll out of the way, then jump backwards and headbutt Reinrassic in his right side. The Highbreed quickly started firing its claw projectiles, but Chance jumped out of the way, letting the claws dig into the rock. Instinctively, Chance grabbed two of them and brandished them as weapons, then charged at Reinrassic. The human swung and sliced away at the Highbreed, but Reinrassic was evading and countering the human's efforts.

The two continued to be put at a stalemate, with Chance refusing to use the Omnitrix. As the fight went on, no matter how many times Reinrassic tossed and attacked the teenager, he was still getting back up. 'This is rather rare... a lower lifeform is giving me trouble. Even with my body being regenerated and my mechanical enhancements, he's still fighting me, pushing me back. Either he's more tenacious than I thought, a mutated variant of his kind, or these Earthlings are a much more dangerous breed of sentient life than what was originally calculated.' Reinrassic thought, steadily growing infuriated, and mildly impressed with the human youth's will to fight.

Chance and Reinrassic were at an impasse, neither one could keep the other down for long, and even if Chance used the Omnitrix, there was always the possibility that none of his ten transformations could even lay a devastating blow. "You... are rather aggressive, in your fighting prowess. It's like dealing with a wild animal, but even a wild animal would be smarter than you, vermin." Reinrassic remarked.

Chance spat a bit of red onto the ground and scoffed. "Yeah, but a wild animal wouldn't know how to use the Omnitrix. You, for example." Chance stated.

Reinrassic sighed. "Human, we're clearly incapable of putting each other down. Let's just come to a consensus, shall we?" Chance was confused, but also very skeptical. "You hand over the Omnitrix, and I'll grant you power far greater than what it has provided you." Reinrassic offered.

Chance flipped the bird towards Reinrassic. "I'm not that stupid, jackass. The moment I give the Omnitrix up, I'll end up with a xenocite on my face! No deal!" Chance refused.

Reinrassic growled, coughing and sputtering as the general took a knee. "Please, human... I need it, the Omnitrix is my last hope." Reinrassic pleaded.

Chance rolled his eyes. "Should've thought about that before trying to attack me, infecting others with your parasite, and threatening to blow up my world, like you've done with many others. You must've ruined over trillions of lives, forced most of them to become DNAlien slaves, and made it impossible for any survivors to repopulate and save their race. You're in no position to bargain, and the fact that you're trying anyway, means you're running out of options, and you don't want to admit it." Chance remarked.

Reinrassic was shocked, the human had figured him out, and Reinrassic got angry. "If you don't hand it over, I'll kill your family!" Reinrassic threatened.

Chance walked closer to Reinrassic, glaring at the general. "You'll die before you can draw a drop of blood from either of them." Chance countered, lightly poking Reinrassic's neck with one of the claws.

Before anything else could be done, a loud crash echoed out. The two looked to the source of the sound, seeing Reinrassic's ship pass overhead and crash into the field below. Chance felt a sense of dread creep up his spine. 'Luna! Sunset! They were-'

Chance was kicked away by Reinrassic, causing the hero to drop his weapons. "How about we see what your family thinks." Reinrassic stated, unfurling his wings as he leapt into the air, gliding towards his ship.

Chance quickly got up, now feeling livid. "You bastard son of a bitch!" Chance exclaimed. Chance quickly jumped off of Rushmore, slamming down on the Omnitrix as he transformed into Zombrex.

Inside the ship, Luna and Sunset are strapped inside the RV, all while everything starts to collapse. "Better hang on to something. This may get a little bumpy!" Luna cautioned.

Sunset held onto her seat as much as she could, letting a momentary whimper escape her lips. Luna breaks through several walls and makes it to the ship’s stern. The RV pushes through and breaks through the ship, skidding across the disturbed ground caused by the ship's crash landing. Sunset and Luna screamed out as the RV nearly tips over, but then immediately sits right back into its proper position. Luna and Sunset made it out of the ship, but the RV was now very damaged and weakened.

Luna looked at Sunset, seeing the fear in her eyes. "Miss Shimmer, are you alright?" Luna asked.

Sunset nodded her head. "Ya know, I wouldn't mind dealing with another magic problem, some random object enhanced by magic sounds real cozy right about now!" Sunset remarked, laughing fearfully.

Suddenly something crashed in the back, getting both of their attention. "Chance, is that you?!" Sunset called out.

Luna gulped and took a deep breath. "Mister Marsten, how'd things go with Reinrassic?" Luna called out.

There wasn't an answer, but Reinrassic soon landed right in front of the RV, and as he raised his claw to attack, Sunset's screams echoed out, attracting the attention of the undead alien hero.

After a few minutes of constant hopping around, Zombrex finally made it to the RV, which looked busted up beyond compare. Zombrex crawls through the wind shield, only to notice that the place was wrecked and empty. "Miss Luna? Sunset?" Zombrex called out.

Zombrex climbs through the back window and emerges out of the back, only to be met by Reinrassic, who managed to capture Luna and Sunset, holding them by their throats. Zombrex growled and got ready to attack, but Reinrassic was prepared. "Not another step, vermin. It's your choice... You or them." Reinrassic stated.

Zombrex was about to lunge at the general, but looked at Luna and Sunset's unconscious bodies. The zombified hero falls to his knees, disappointed in himself. Reinrassic approaches him and his finger glows red again. As the taps the Omnitrix, Zombrex is reverted back into Chance, who's clearly very angry, as well as disappointed. "How noble." Reinrassic said sarcastically.

Reinrassic drops Luna and Sunset, then grabs Chance and walks towards his ship. Luna and Sunset regain consciousness shortly thereafter, and notice the highbreed general carrying her student back to the ship. "No! Don't go back in there, Reinrassic! It's suicide!!" Luna warned, but her words fell on deaf ears as the ship lifted upwards.

Reinrassic looks down at Luna, perplexed by her ramblings. "Foolish Earthing vermin, Why won't I-" An alarm starts blaring, cutting off the general. Reinrassic's eyes widen, causing him to drop the alien hero on the floor. "The auto-destruct launch sequence has been initiated!" Reinrassic exclaimed.

Reinrassic attempts to stop the sequence but the console crackles with electricity, rendering it inoperable. Infuriated, Reinrassic tears the console out and tosses it to a random corner of the room. "EQUINOX! You are a thorn in my side, and I will-" Reinrassic is cut off again as something blasts him into another wall.

Chance stands tall and carries the weapon. Chance fires the weapon repeatedly, screaming out in a rage as Reinrassic was slammed through walls, and buried in rubble and fire. "Shut up already, and die!" Chance viciously exclaimed.

The alarm starts to blare louder. "Commencing self-destruct launch." a digital voice announced.

Chance smirked, noticing that the Omnitrix lit up green much earlier than usual, and quickly dialed in the alien that started all of this nonsense in the first place. "Hey Reiny, tell the devil that Chance Marsten says 'hello'!" Chance shouted out, running to the hole in the hull, slamming down the core as he transformed.

Back on the ground, Luna and Sunset look up at the ship as it explodes, their hearts sink for a moment, until a small green flash is seen amidst the thick black clouds of smoke. Nitrofrost fires down numerous streams of slush and snow, creating a large towering hill of white as Nitrofrost is enveloped in a flash of green light, changing Nitrofrost back into Chance, to which the teenager slides down the hill. "Woohoo!!!" The teen boy shouted happily, laughing as he slid down his frozen cold creation.

Luna and Sunset smiled, laughing as they quickly ran towards him as he finally made it to the bottom. Chance stands up and dusts some snow off his torn up clothes and smiles. Sunset smiled and crossed her arms. "Not bad, but don't scare us like that!" Sunset remarked.

Chance looked over at Luna, giving her a smug grin with a knowing look in his eyes. "So, I'm under the impression that you have a lot to explain... care to share thy secrets?" Chance asked coyly.

Luna laughed, pulling the teens into a hug, all while they watched pieces of Reinrassic’s ship fall out of the sky, and onto the ground below. Chance suddenly remembers something, and his happier feelings are immediately replaced with concern. "Wait, what're we gonna do about the RV? All of our shit was in there!" Chance exclaimed.

Luna smiles, pulling out a small pill-sized capsule. "Don't worry, Mister Marsten, a Plumber is always prepared for the worst possible scenarios. Each of your belongings are safe, and the RV will be fine. I know where we can get another one." Luna remarked, winking at the teen.

Author's Note
