Megamallopolis was every capitalist's wet dream, with sprawling postmodern architecture, multiple skylights, and floors upon floors of commerce. If a brand was worth its salt, it was somewhere here, just waiting to take your money.

After spending a full day in that whirlwind of bright lights, sounds, and overall capitalism, the Tennysons and Ben walked out to the parking lot. Gwen kept one eye on her brochure, rattling off mall facts.

"-Got distracted by a bookstore," Gwen said.

Ben raised an eyebrow. "Really? What was so interesting?"

Gwen palmed a flyer off a blond man with weird hair, tinted glasses and a scar over his left eye. She gave the paper to her cousin, who read it over skeptically.

"'Sublimino, Master of the Mind'?" Ben asked disbelievingly.

"Ah hell no."

Meanwhile

"I bet Argost doesn't have to deal with pesky kids," he muttered to himself as he pulled out a business card.

He'd been handed this card sometime ago; apparently Argost expressed interest in his scientific advancements, and wanted him on board for a separate project. And maybe taking his mind off Tennyson would help.

Especially with the benefits he offered.

Animo pulled out his cell phone and dialed the number-

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," a low voice threatened Animo. Animo spun around to see a set of red eyes walking out of the shadows.

The man...no, the thing was shark-like in appearance.

His body was white with black markings, and he wore a black robe with red marks in the middle.

"Aloysius Animo," the alien's raspy voice spoke. "...I apologize. Doctor Aloysius Animo, if that doctorate is true."

"It certainly is," Animo said, scowling. "Now, what do you want?"

"Your assistance on a project of mine," Psyphon said. "I believe you've crossed paths with a boy named Ben Tennyson, haven't you?"

Animo gave him a side eyed look. "Yeah? So what?

"He is the Omnitrix wielder ?"

Animo paused. "Omnitrix ?" he asked, a twinge of curiosity in his voice.

Psyphon held open his hand a revealed a hologram of Ben. The hologram zoomed in on his wrist.

Animo grinned. "Fascinating."

" I thought you would appreciate a detail like that."

"I most certainly do!" Animo exclaimed happily. "But what does this have to do with me?"

"I need your intellect to help ... improve a certain specimen. You've done so in the past, if my research is correct. Then, you may do as you please with the boy," Psyphon said. "I can provide you with whatever you need."

"Anything, eh?" Animo rubbed his hands together, before heading back to his desk and scribbling something down furiously. That creative spark had once more appeared in his mind, and it was more clear than day; he knew exactly how this would all play out.

"I'm going to need a uranium core for this piece of machinery." He smiled as he passed Psyphon his latest blueprint. Psyphon studied the thing carefully and chuckled.

"I'm starting to admire the tenacity of you humans."

Back with Team Ten

"I hate mind control !" Ben w.h.i.n.ed, face laying on the table. "Two stinking days lost from summer then I have to go back and suffer at school!"

"Dude, focus! That thing's getting close!"

They were being chased.

"And then I gotta face my parent's expectations with school …"

"Dude…"

"And do HOMEWORK …"

"DUDE!"

"F.U.C.K HOMEWORK!"

And then they got shoved back into reality, as something slammed into the RV's side. "OH COME ON!" Max yelled as he slammed his fist down on the horn. The thing flew away, scared off by the noise.

"Looks like the big guy found us!" Gwen called out.

"Ben! You gonna just w.h.i.n.e or are you gonna take care of it?!"

Ben sighed and slapped down the Omnitrix, transforming into XLR8.

SHOOOOM!

"I'll make sure to take care of our friend here in a second!" Ben said as his mask fell over his face.

WHOOSH !

He jumped out of the vehicle and took off after the mutants. "Makes sense Animo would try to pull this when I'm away…" Ben said to himself as he focused on the thing's path.

The things in question was some sort of cybernetic mutant bug. It had six big, spiky metallic legs and two chelicerates, with eight red robitic eyes in a line. It had darker stripes all over its body, with small teeth and a horn shaped like a concave deltoid.

Ben grinned. "Let's make this quick, bug breath!"

WHOOSH !

He quickly jumped up and rushed the insect from all sides at a speed invisible to the n.a.k.e.d eye, leaving after-images of his form. The insects quickly fell to the ground, scratched up and bruised from the onslaught. Ben grinned as he landed on his weird feet.

"Annnnd THAT'S how it's done!"

Ben looked over to see something speeding out of the bushes; it was a cubed shaped robot, of all things. Its eyes were red and they had a white skull-shaped face with double blasters on their sides.

"That looks familiar!" Gwen grimaced as she easily shot and destroyed the thing with her eagle eye.

"What is that thing?" Ben asked, glaring at the remains.

"It's the same robot that attacked us in San Francisco. Maybe Animo has something to do with it?"

Ben spun the dial to the Omnitrix ( for nostalgia) and scrolled to Upgrade's icon and slammed it down. Black metallic skin started surrounding the surface of Ben's skin. It reached up to his head and green glowing circuits started appearing on his body with a white body.

Ben merged with the remains of the RED robot and started firing up at the sky.

Disc-like lasers spun in the area and cut through the robots like it was nothing. Ruby shot out some ice dust from some made up spell , freezing enemies solid.

For a while, it was just blasting one and then another, like in an old western flick that Max would sometimes watch at Ben's house when he was over for dinner.

SHOOOOM!

Back to human to save energy...

Anyway , Clint Eastwood was as cool as he remembered.

But soon that came to a screeching halt.

Something flew down from the sky and landed with a mighty thud. It was a robot / cocoon type thing, but two arms, three legs and a single head sprouted out of it. More REDs poured out of it just as the children recognized it.

"Hey, it's one of those robots from the first day of summer!" Ben cried out as the thing fired lasers from out its hands. Ben was still cooling off from their robot rampage, there was nothing he could-

"Contego!"

A blue shield formed around him. The shield absorbed the laser blast like a sponge before dissolving into pink ( and maybe it was his eyes ) blue mist.*

Ben looked over to see an armed-to-the-teeth Max and Gwen, the young girl confidently holding her grimoire in hand. Max was busy firing at some more rouge REDs while Gwen threw out spells to destroy some more.

"Thank god you two are here," He said, relieved.

The shadow paused for a brief second to take a breath, allowing Ben and Gwen to get another good look at it. It was Kevin's Adamintine form.

No, not Adamantium. Adamantine. The Greek God Metal.

We literally just found an ore of it at a magic store.

F.u.c.k.i.n.g bullshit .

He grinned at the two before it sped off and running through the robot numerous times, destroying it piece by piece.

The robot was completely helpless, most of its tech lost or destroyed by then.

To add insult to injury, Kevin leapt over to the head, grew some metal plates and starting...well, bashing the hell out of it.

It was quick and violent, and the thing was in shambles by the time he was done.

Realizing the "big guy" was down, the REDs all retreated back to wherever they came from.

"How'd I do?" Kevin asked as he too reverted back.

"Not bad, not bad." Max smiled at him. "You're a natural at this stuff. Though, the head thing? Unneeded. Appreciated, but unneeded. Could've had some important data on that."

"Well, we obviously know it's Vilgax's tech," Kevin said with a frown, kicking some debris aside. Don't see what the big deal is."

Later, The RV was parked at a random campsite, the occupants resting for a while. Everyone was crowded around a picnic table, patiently going over information on Vilgax.

"- Soon, Vilgax found himself under attack from the rest of his people. Unable to sway them to his side with promises of an end, he exiled himself."

"Alright. So, what happened next?"

"We don't know," Max frowned. "He kept a low profile. He was last said to have been spotted taking a ship to the High Override's throne."

"And that's where I come in," Kevin interjected.

"When you said he kept a low profile, you weren't kidding; I only heard of him once before this whole shit , and it wasn't even in person. It was only his second hand man, Psyphon."

"Who's Psyphon?" Gwen asked.

"He was and will always be extremely loyal to Vilgax. Followed his will completely. I think it's because...Vilgax saved his species before? I don't know. He's a bootlicker," Kevin said

Suddenly, the bushes behind them moved. Everyone nervously turned to where the sound came from.

Ben slowly activated the Omnitrix, Gwen reached for her grimoire, Kevin cracked his knuckles and Max c.o.c.ked his weapon. Anna just rolled her eyes.

A small rabbit hopped out of a bush. Everyone took a deep breath and laughed at themselves for getting all worked up.

But then, the rabbit split into two. Then four. Then eight. Then sixteen...and soon enough, there was a whole bunch of angry rabbits surrounding them.

"We're surrounded," Gwen said quaveringly, slowly getting on top of the bench.

"So?" Ben scoffed. "They're small. Watch this!"

After grabbing a rock , he threw it at them.

He c.o.c.ked her weapon and shot at a rabbit, purple gas exploding out of it. "And that's how it's done!" he crowed as purple smoke overtook the hearing. "Wait, no-!"

No one could see a thing, but they could hear the patter of rabbit feet moving around them; this was one of Animo's sneakiest moves yet, and considering how hammy the guy could be, it was nightmarish to know he actually pulled it off. Ben was reminded of how Animo would turn out in the future- well, possibly turn out.

"Everyone ok?" Max asked, doing a quick head count.

"Yeah, I think so," Kevin said, looking at his hands.

"Uh, guys?" Gwen piped up. "Where's Ben?" Kevin looked around; there was no sign of the boy anywhere. Max looked around, his lips pulling back to reveal his grinding teeth.

"Bastards snatched him!" he snarled, her tone bestial.

"Then it looks like we'll just have to find him!" Gwen declared.

"Come on!" And so the group followed Gwen into the woods...

Ben was only here for a few minutes but he was f.u.c.k.i.n.g done with being kidnapped.

He now knew he was going completely of script from canon.

A few minutes ago, some mutant ditto knock out gas rabbits had successfully captured him.

WTF ?

What was this, a Monty Python sketch?

Is that what his life had become?

Thanks Omnitrix, you just made my life more difficult, Ben thought bitterly.

He would have instantly broken out he if he wasn't flying in blind.

This was in none of the episodes so he was waiting to see the situation.

Then Animo fiddled with his watch a bit with no success.

( Level 20 technology for the win! )

When he remembers watching the show he thought some of the colouring was artistic licensing .

Judging by his pale green skin, he was genuinely scared he carried some contagious disease. He left soon enough, though, since he couldn't figure out how to work the Omnitrix.

(For bad guys that wanted the Omnitrix, they sure had no clue how to use it. Ben would have been shocked if said bad guys actually thought ahead for once.)

And now he was strapped down to a surgical table. He felt this weird mix of emotions; anticipation and a weird foreboding.

He looked back at his hands; they were bound by some odd maroon energy, with the Omnitrix bound in some weird energy cage. His hand was starting to feel numb, but that was to be expected.

Animo must have designed it to dampen and drain all energy from the Omnitrix.

He snorted.

'Like he can absorb more energy than the Big Bang.'

He nudged it a bit, but nothing happened.

'If I was Heatblast, I could burn right through those cuffs,' Ben thought.

////

Animo happily handed the vial of DNA into Psyphon's hands. "Piece of cake," he declared, proud of his hard work.

Psyphon cradled the thing in his hands. It was so...beautiful.

"So, what did you need me to do with the DNA anyways?" Animo asked, breaking Psyphon out of his reflection. "You said you needed me to extract it for something important."

"Very well. Follow me." Psyphon said, leading Animo through the cave. "My master...is feared 'man'. A great leader . Would you say a man can be both?"

Animo thought about the question. "I suppose. Various leaders in history have been both great and feared...usually the latter."

"Good, good," Psyphon said approvingly. "He could tank a blast from a Techadon dissipator head on and only suffer minor damage while in handcuffs. The man was in his prime!"

Psyphon pressed a button on a wall. "In a universe filled with eldritch abominations, evil sorcerers, alien invaders with death rays available on a large scale, and psychotic mutants, amongst other things, this man is still considered the most dangerous being."

"Sounds like a promising person," Animo said ecstatically.

"He is."

And then Psyphon turned on a light, revealing a squid person stuck in a tube. Animo's face contorted in fear. This body had been utterly monstrous. All that hype Psyphon had given him, delivered.

Animo frowned. "... Why , am I here ?"

"Until I found out about the Omnitrix. It was theorized that the perfect specimen of the Murrian laid within the watch, and maybe, just maybe...If I could extract it, then I could bring my master to godhood ."

"So, you had me extract the Omnitrix's sample of your master?"

"The Omnitrix creates a perfect sample of any species," Psyphon went on. "And my master requires perfection, even if it's from an unorthodox source."

"Rather poetic," Animo noted. "Now...shall we begin?"

////

Gwen flew deeper. The scent was small but it lingered, leading them deeper into the forest. Kevin walking beside her , finger rested on the trigger. "How's the trail?" he asked.

"Uh...it's good?" Gwen said questioningly.

The others followed at a slower pace.

"Bastards snagged him, I let that kid out of my damn sight for a second and they took him…" Max grumbled to herself.

"Don't beat yourself up, Max," Kevin comforted her.

"I swear, if Animo even touched a hair on my boy, I'm gonna kill him," he snarled.

"Ostendo Specialis!" she chanted. A wiry figure of Ben suddenly appeared in place.

Ben's path, and the rest of the group followed suit. The chase went on for a bit.

The wirey replay went right into a cave, and that was where she decided to launch her surprise entrance.

KRA-KA-BOOM !

"-think I can isolate the DNA samples, and raise my own army!"

Animo was doing something I thought I'd never see.

Monologuing .

"My future is now!"

KRA-KA-BOOM !

And suddenly, an explosion smashed Animo's face in. Animo collapsed on the ground, out cold. Blood pooled out of his broken nose and some burns.

"Christ, that was boring," Ben murmured, overwhelmed.

SHOOOOM!

As Heatblast he instantly melted his bonds.

" Hey guys, what took-"

Max slowly walked to the center of the room. "Ben?"

He then sighed, discreetly wiping his eyes. He hugged him as best he could then said "Don't scare me like that."

"I ... I won't," Ben said softly, holding him gently- he didn't know his own strength sometimes. One wrong move and Max could die in his arms. "I… I'll do better next time ?"

"Yes," Max said quietly. "Yes you do."

Sarcastic clpping filled the cavern, and someone slowly walked through the shadows. "How touching," Psyphon laughed as he stepped out into the light.

"Creep ," Kevin snarled from the back.

"You look like you've had better days," Psyphon remarked. "But no matter. I have no use for you now."

"So, you're the brains behind the operation," Max said, scowling. "Well, show's over. Where's Vilgax?"

"The master will join us eventually," Psyphon told him, smiling. "But, for now…" He turned his attention away from him. "So, you're Ben Tennyson."

"Yeah, that's me," Ben said with a glare.

"P.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you." And then Psyphon blasted Ben with a wrist mounted laser. Ben doubled over in pain, clutching at his c.h.e.s.t. His body felt like it was going to melt and explode at the same time.

Heatblast became Diamondhead.

Then Diamondhead's whole body became as blue as XLR8's skin, his head became a crystal version of XLR8's helmet, his legs changed into bulkier versions of XLR8 and his arms formed into blade like appendages.

"Actually...I've never felt better." Ben grinned as the pain faded.

Ben swung at Psyphon with his massive arms, but he backed away just in time. Psyphon was visibly confused; his weapon should've mutilated the hero entirely, so why was there suddenly Kineceleran blood flowing through his veins?

"Woahhhh!" Kevin gushed, "Just when I thought XLR8 couldn't get cooler!"

Ben rammed Psyphon at full speed, and it felt like a tank had just slammed it into him. His weapon was completely ineffective; if anything, he'd powered up Tennyson. Knowing he'd have to change weapons, Psyphon fled, REDs filling the area. A lot of them were hard to hit aerial drones, but now there were some melee drones on the ground, well equipped with armor and other weapons.

"We'll go after him," Ben declared as Gwen jumped on his back. "You guys take care of the drones!"

"So," Gwen drawled out. "What do you think caused the whole 'fusion' thing?"

"Probably the Omnitrix reacting with his weapon," Ben hypothesized. "Must've activated the safety net or something." he muttered

"God, I wish you could do this to start with," Kevin joked, "Like, just 10 aliens means 100 fusions! You could do a lot with that."

Yeah, no.

When he was an alien, it was easy to focus all concentration on that one single ability they could do.

Here, he was just a mess, unable to keep focus on a single power.

For Christ's sake, one arm was crystalline, and the foot wasn't! So, what? He was gonna shoot shards out of one side and run out the other?

That just felt weird.

One of the larger melee drones started charging right at Kevin, who shot from he gun brilliant red plasma from out of his hand. It looked like they were going to burn the bastard to a crisp, but instead crystalised the bot.

'Where did Max even get-'

Kevin just shrugged. He'd seen weirder.

XLRHead dashed through the caverns, hot on Psyphon's tracks. It felt weird to be this big while running as fast as XLR8. He was significantly slower, but still fast enough to keep up with Psyphon.

XLRHead shot out some crystals and created a ramp for himself, speeding across the way and then soaring through the air, before coming back down on the ground, smashing some of the ground, and then speeding away again.

Psyphon fired his weapon again, but Ben evaded with ease. Gwen whipped out her magic at Psyphon, each missing, but still throwing him off course.

Psyphon growled as he blasted Ben again, and that horrible pain returned. Gwen and Ben crashed to the ground, sending dirt flying everywhere.

Ben's form changed again

Ben transformed, this time into the worst possible fusion; Heatblast and Water Hazard.

Ben fell from his web and onto the ground. Heat Hazard was literally just Water Hazard's isopod form covered in reddish rocks, but steam seeped out from the lines on his body where Heatblast flames would've been ignited.

"Ah, great." Ben frowned and looked at his hands, which were shooting out steam. "Guess I'll make this a sauna - wait."

superheated steam.

Ben shot out a heavy 'steamscreen' that obscured Psyphon's view of the kids.

Something in the fog rushed past him, and Psyphon spun around to see no one there. The children was obviously trying to psyche him out, but he wasn't going to have any of it.

SHOOOOM!

Suddenly, he was blasted away by a wave of sound, his ears starting to bleed. Psyphon turned to see a triad of Echo Echo, and only Echo Echo , breathing heavily and honestly looking more annoyed more than anything. They all flung themselves at Psyphon.

Psyphon then took note of his surroundings; there was a group of 10 Echo Echoes surrounding him.

"Wall...of...Sound!"

They all inhaled and let loose a devastating banshee shriek that shattered eardrums. Psyphon howled in pain, blood dribbling from his eyes, and crumbled over.

"I...failed you, Lord Vilgax," he said weakly. "I thought the boy would restore you to you former glory, not destroy you…"

"I...am a failure." Psyphon said, utterly defeated, before passing out.

"Well, I suppose we should take him in," Max said, rolling his eyes as he walked on over.

"No."

Something was moving in the dark.

"The cowards who can't bother to fix themselves will forever be regarded as such. They lack such qualities, like patience and experience. But I have those in spades. I can do anything ."

He looks at Ben's wrist.

"The ultimate device, isn't it?" he asked, his voice sending shivers down Ben's spine. "A thousand uses. And a million different samples." Vilgax circled around Ben and the others predatory.

"With every sample, you become increasingly more powerful," he went on. "A Galilean could crush someone's body with the force of an entire moon. A Prypiatosian-B could irradiate an entire area, if freed from the shackles that binds it ever so tightly. A Celestisapien could destroy an entire galaxy," Vilgax snapped his fingers, "just like that."

"Yeah." Ben scoffed. "What of it?"

"No one deserves the Omnitrix more than me," Vilgax told him. "I've suffered more hardsh.i.p.s than you in your very, very small, insignificant life. I've destroyed millions to get here…" Vilgax raised his arm. "And will kill more to pry that thing OFF YOUR WRIST!" He slammed his fist down, but Ben had already transformed.

Vilgax's tentacles were cut up in seconds as Diamondhead's crystals pierced through them.

"A device with as extraordinary of a power as the Omnitrix was never meant to be wielded by an unpredictable and imm.a.t.u.r.e child! AND NOW! I WILL OBLITERATE YOU!"

He bull rushed him into a wall.

"Get your claws off my grandson!" Max yelled as he unloaded the rail gun fire onto Vilgax. Red hot bullets shot out from the barrel, digging into Vilgax's green skin, but they barely stung. The bullets popped out of his skin as he regenerated quickly. Vilgax dropped Ben to the ground and turned his attention away.

"Tennyson," the warlord greeted. "I see time has still treated you well .... unfortunately" Vilgax's tentacles shot out and snatched Max's weapon from out of his hands, crushing the firearm in his tentacles like thin ceramic.

Max grimaced as he slowly backed away. A hot pink barrier formed around him, and Vilgax paused in his tracks, turning to see Gwen.

"S-stay away from him!" Gwen said, breathing heavily.

"I see...your efforts to protect your grandfather are rather pathetic, worm. "

"Aaaaaghh!"

Kevin yelled as he charged at Vilgax; he shot out more blasts from his gun , striking Vilgax and crystalizing most of his body. He then absorbed some tynanite left over.

"How's THAT for a worm?" Kevin quipped before unleashing a barrage of slashes at Vilgax, slicing his body open. Kevin quickly reformed and prepared to unleash another quick barrage of punches.

Suddenly, Vilgax spun around and fired a powerful optic blast from his eyes, hitting Kevin dead center in the c.h.e.s.t. Kevin went flying through the air and crashed into the ceiling of the cavern. He quickly recovered though.

Vilgax stretched his arms to wrap around Kevin's body. Then he quickly retracted, crashing into the foe at top speeds. "For your insolence," he huffed, "you will take my place!" He threw Kevin into the ground, hard enough to make a crater, the shock waves taking out all by surprise.

"Lucky shot," Kevin coughed out. His eyes fluttered, and he fell unconscious.

"KEVIN!" Ben yelled as he fell to the ground.

Ben took a deep breath as he prepared his shot. The fate of everything relied on this next move; should he miss, everything he had ever worked for would end in flames.

"What's with you, Omnitrix?" He rasped, staring down at his blinking c.h.e.s.t. "I thought you were supposed to look out for me and stuff and…"

Suddenly, Ben realized what might have been the problem.

" I locked you out because I wanted full control but ...."

(In a weird way, the Omnitrix was an overprotective mother, trying to shield her stupid, naive child from the world. Her micromanaging could stop her child in his tracks and prevent him from finding those interests he would like to pursue, like fighting a crazy monster from space. She'd never let her son fail.

Deep down, she knew made that kids should experience and learn about risk and threats when living, so she let her guard down sometimes.)

(Of course, Ben would totally sneak out at night due to her parenting. But she would know...mostly because she was literally on her wrist.)

(She had seen everything before and knew every move someone might make, but she was still scared. And it scared her, just like any mother could, and she did everything to protect herself and her young child.)

"I don't blame you anymore," Ben said quietly. "When it's hero time, if I mess up, somebody could die. Maybe it's too much to have in your head when you have to win. Maybe if I pretend that everything's a big joke, when the time comes, I'll be able to do what I have to do...and I think the time is right."

The Omnitrix continued blinking green.

Ben started grinning. "I can't j control my transformations, but work with you !"

Ping.

Vilgax paused. For a moment, he swore he heard something.

Ping.

There it was again. Gwen heard it this time too, breaking her out of her shock. The 'ping' sounded like the highest note on a grand piano, but this one was much more hollow and rang out across the labyrinth of the cave.

Ping.

Ping.

Ping.

Ben suddenly transformed again, this time into a new alien ( to the others ) , Astrodactyl. He flew around Vilgax and started blasting him with star blasts, causing some light but still effective chip damage. Vilgax couldn't hit Ben with his tentacles due to his speed too, so this made this even more irritating.

Vilgax grunted as his arm regrew, and he charged at Ben. He stampeded towards towards him...only to pass through him. Ben had again shifted, this time into Ghostfreak.

"INCOMING!" Multiple Slapbacks out of nowhere landed on top of Vilgax, further injuring him. They were all around one thousand ton, maybe more, at such a speed creating the force of a nuke.

BOOM

And they all hurt like hell.

SHOOOOM!

Now he was Heatblast.

At full power.

His blue flames were a big hint on the difference.

Ben charged at Vilgax, hitting him with a continuous barrage of fiery punches enhanced with sheer determination. He then absorbed all the blue flames from the inferno into his fist, and he punched his target with a force so strong the world seemed to slow to a halt. Ben could see Vilgax's face contorted in horror as the punch connected with his face.

The fist collided at mach speeds, blue flames like a rocket behind him. Vilgax went up, up, high into the sky, soaring beyond the Earth's atmosphere in a fiery comet.

"TENNYSON!" his voice could be heard screaming out from the distance as he left the blue sky and entered space, disappearing from Earth's yellow sun.

Ben's breathing slowed as he stared at the now empty sky.

"Go team rocket ..."

Everyone turns to look at him.

In space, on a random planet

The battle was over. Vilgax was currently mostly cremated underneath a coffin of taydenite, with the rest of his body a mess broken bones, stretched or broken ligaments, internal bleeding, and lacerated or punctured organs...anything that would slow down his fighting, really. His promised revenge would never come to fruition.

...mainly because his eyes were set on a different group now.

"t-TeNjysoNnnn..."
