Chapter Text
Ben, Gwen, Kevin and Rook are chasing Doctor Animo, who’s currently riding on a giant bat with tubes poking through his back and its head replaced with the head of a Sarcastic Fringehead, on a rooftop chase. Gwen attacks the chimera with her Manna projectiles, but the chimera dodges the attacks which unluckily cup some the wires of a crane which causes the debris to fall towards of a group of civilians but Rook saves them by blowing up the falling debris with his proto tool.
The bat then shoot several green pulsating spheres from the tubes on its back that Kevin smacked away with ease, the spheres quickly exploding like bombs.
“What would Animo even want with some museum artifact from the Philippines” asked Kevin who currently had stone mallets for hands.
”In the academy I remember reading about artifacts in the Philippines, apparently they had a good amount of powerful magic artifacts before most of the ancient civilizations that used magic just vanished out of thin air” Gwen said to her boy friend.
”And what would Animo want with magic? I never thought of him as using anything but hard science” Rook questioned but his question was quickly ignored.
”As long as we can get that thing off his hands I’m good of living without knowing what he would do” Ben slammed the dial of the omnitrix, turning into Lodestar to pull the metal inside Animo’s creating towards them, making the monster halt still in the air until it was dragged back with so much force Ben couldn’t react before they got pushed off the roof.
Gwen protected them by making a barrier to soften the fall while animo and his pet hit the ground so hard it created a small crater.
”oops” said Ben as soon as the barrier disappeared.
Animo crawled his way out of his mount and Tennyson took the chance to pull the relic out of his grasp with ease “hunting for magic relics Animo? Don’t you know magic is for kids?” Ben said mockingly, meanwhile Rook caught Animo on a hard light net.
Gwen side eyed him but ignored the comment.
Animo scoffed as he pulled himself back up “you’re one to talk Tennyson! We both know magic is one of the few things able to trounce you”
And Gwen smirked at that, because Animo was right.
”so you jumped out of your comfort zone just for me? I’m flattered” said Ben with a fake bow.
”don’t flatter yourself Tennyson!” Animo roared, and the chimera quickly got up and opens its abominable maw, inhaling so hard it created a vortex that pulled the relic away. Ben quickly reacted and tried to pull while his friends tried to not get sucked by the vortex “Magic might be nonsense in top of nonsense, but I can’t deny that I’ve been sleeping on the chance to use one of the strongest weapons in the universe! But that wouldn’t be enough, because I know no matter what I do or where I am in the universe YOU will be there to ruin my plans!”
The relic moved left and right as the monster and the alien tugged it like a rope, their strength on each side slowly increasing every pull “Which is why I’m going after THIS relic, to get a headstart on a world YOU DONT EXIST!”
And then in the blink of an eye the relic broke in half due to the strength they laid on it “oops” said Ben again, and the relic EXPLODED on a bright white light with lightning hitting its surroundings including Animo, its monster and Ben.
”BEN!” Shouted Rook who reached for his partner but the greatest hero in the galaxy disappeared with both the relic, the monster and doctor Animo.
Ben woke up in an alley with a severe headache, he cracked his back and rubbed his eyes “alright time to find where I am, transform into XLR8 or Jetray depending the planet then go back home for some-“ Ben had to jump back before a medieval cart ran him over.
”alright so I’m in the past, time to use clock-“ but Ben is stopped on his tracks once again by a large stereotypical French man with a thick twirly mustache wearing a early Renaissance outfit with big puffy shoulders.
”you youngsters wouldn’t survive a day in the medieval era where there wasn’t any phones or-“ the large man was interrupted by a blond teen in leather with cat ears falling on his feet right behind him.
”sorry to break your dreams Classichaos, but I don’t think and 80 year old man like you would have lived that long in the medieval” said the teenage superhero before he kicked the man in the ass.
The clear villain got back up and shoot a energy sphere from his mouth, the cat dodged it and it turned the electric lamp post behind him into a gaslight lamppost.
The villain exhaled to shot another “antique-fication blast” but someone threw a bubblegum at his mouth which he accidentally chewed, when trying to shot his beam it just created a bubble filled with the glowing projectile.
thats when a Yo-yo came out of nowhere and wrapped around him, he tried to shoot but just kept spewing bubbles. And that’s when another teen hero, this time a girl on a red suit with black dots jumped in top of the villain and took a key on a string wrapped around his neck which she crushed with ease “sorry Classichaos, but you’re old history”
A black butterfly flies out of the shards of the broken key before the red hero trapped it with her yoyo “Bye bye, little butterfly” then threw what seemed to be a piece of crumbled paper to the sky “miraculous ladybug!” Which turned into a swarm of ladybugs that fixed everything.
”pound it!” Said the heroes who fist bumped while Classichaos became a clearly 80 year old man.
”This villain sure was a bone easy to chew, right my lady?” Asked the cat to- who Ben assumed was called called- while resting his hands and head on one end of his staff.
“Alright Kitty, it was fun” she pushed him away tauntingly with a finger “but I places to be and things to do” she threw her yo-yo into the sky and swings away, with the cat soon following example by extending his staff to jump away.
Ben stood idly for a second, looking at the place the heroes stood a minute ago. He looked around only to see distinct image of the Eiffel Tower “last time I was here there wasn’t any super heroes” he said to himself, hopping it was just a pair of novices that appeared recently… then a bus with the image of the two superheroes plastered onto it drove in with the titular “heroes day” with the date being from 2014… last he checked he was in 2013.
”I hate magic” said Ben as he rubbed his eyes.
