Ben 10; Omnitrix Reload

A light snore filled the room of Ratchet's typing.

Currently, Sunny is asleep on Ratchet's checkup table as a bandage of dry blood is wrapped around her head. The Tennysons and Will gazed down at her.

"You know." Gwen started as Will and Max were all ears. "I'm beginning to wonder if she's truly in it for the thrill." Gwen whipped out CharmCaster's spellbook reading a page.

"Wait, what?" Will arched a brow until he grew a gazed in shock. "Gwen! I can't believe you, saying that right now." "Like I can't tell you you shouldn't hate her, but she's your cousin."

"Even when she is. She would throw me under the bus, literally and figurately." Gwen's eyes land on his. "No offense, Will. You didn't experience what I've been through. All I ask is to rethink what you said when you do." Will countered.

"If you just--" Max cut them off.

"Alright, knock it off. You two!" Max's gaze connects to Will's. " It's really noble of you to defend a family of ours, but forcing your ideal will get you nowhere." His strong hand grasps his shoulder as Will sway from his gaze. Max looks to Gwen.

" I made plenty of enemies in my lifetime. I can't tell you how many you can't save, but only time could tell."

"She nearly put me in Juvie, Grandpa!" Gwen exclaimed. "Don't you remember? She hated me ever since we met, and Grandma is the cream on top of Sunny problems." Will cuts in.

" I get it! Sunny has a grudge against you, but to want you dead?! That's a stretch!" Max and Gwen sense discomfort oozing from Will.

"Let's leave that for another time." Max ended it there as they heard footsteps from behind them.

They look back, seeing Jack, Ralph, and Miko.

"How's the little Doom queen?" Miko questioned sincerely.

"She's fine, but it's a little unsettling. We're losing our Strenght day by day." Max states as Jack fold his arms, looking away.

"I couldn't agree with you more."

"Has Bee and the others found were there holding out?" Ralph questioned.

"No, Optimus told us to rest. He'll come back when we're ready." Gwen answered.

"Is there some Gps, maybe a name of the place they mention?" Miko questioned.

"Well, it's a chart with a dot." Will shrug causing everyone to sweatdrop. "What? That's the only thing I can get out of him."

"Wait, hold on. I think we can make it work." Max rubs his chin. "Do you remember it in detail?"

"Hold on." Will looks around until finding a whiteboard. "That'll do." He pulled it out for everyone gaining Ratchet's attention.

"What do you think you're doing?" Grey ink oozed from his skin as he grew a height of an Average male, revealing Edge.

"I'm sorry for this, but I'll be borrowing it." He pulled the red cap from the marker as Miko stood, marveling at his appearance. "Ok, Edge, do your thing." Edge hovers it over the board until his arms jerk beginning memory lane.

He created the chart and countdown in utter detail in seconds. Writing the numbers in Cybertronian language.

"Done." Edge sat the marker down before shifting back to Will.

"Ah, I see. Megatron establishes a countdown, redirecting from his current coordinates into another. Boy, you're full of surprises." Ratchet smirked to himself as Miko gazed in a daze.

"Aaaah?"

"He moved from his current position into another." Jack replied, causing Miko to nod her head.

"Ratchet, can you pinpoint this chart?" Max questioned while Ratchet folded his arms.

"It'll take some time. I needed to pinpoint it at most accuracy for this to work."

"Wait, I think I got this." Raf walked up to the board.

"It doesn't hurt to help." Jack followed. Raf talked under his breath while Jack stayed silent, guiding his fingers.

"Is that all you came with?" Gwen questioned as Miko was poking Will from head to toe.

"Yes." He slaps Miko's hand from poking his neck.

"Ow, hey!" Miko glared before Jack and Ralph turned to everyone.

"It's Four hundred twenty-nine point sixty." Jack and Raf declared together, causing everyone but Ratchet to stagger.

"And that's your Hypothesis? Let's see." He walked from the group of humans.

"And How do you know this?" Will questioned.

" An advance game of Battleship." They shrug.

"You two seem more than meets the eye." Max causally whistled, eyeing the board. "Back in my day, I remember studying this day and night to get into plumbing."

"We were bored." The two said once again while Ratchet hummed to himself.

"Assign the coordinates. We just need Optimus and the others to scout it." They hear heavy steps approaching the room with them.

The Autobots enter, noticing the board.

"Huh, I guess you find the coordinates?" Arcee questioned.

"As a matter of fact, I need you all for a scouting mission." Ratchet continued typing. "And if Jack and Raf's hypothesis is concluded, I might not be leaning you all to you're impending doom."

"That's a weird way of saying we might be at the fingertips of Primus." Bulkhead comments.

"That will not happen, Bulkhead. I'll see you to that." Optimus reassured.

"Alright." Will swings his arms getting the Autobot's attention as the Groundbridge is activated. "You mind if I lend a hand?"

"Beep. Boop. Zing." Bee explained while Optimus continued

"Bee says you been going at this for three days now. You should get some rest."

"I'm fine. I could do this all day." Acree approached Will and took a knee.

They were eye-level.

"You want to come with us?" Acree questioned once more.

"Believe me, I will not get in y'all way." Will concluded.

"Do you think you're ready for a rescue mission after this? We're infiltrating a high-security ship with hundreds of bots with experience under their belt. If things go south, we could get surrounded, and judging by your power, it requires stamina. I believe you won't last long. Besides, you have someone to look after while we're gone." Acree gazed to the side as Will followed.

It was Sunny.

Will sighs.

"Fine, you and the bot's come back without a scratch. I don't think Ratchet won't be happy if you did." Acree winked as Bee and Bulkhead entered the ground bridge.

Acree stopped inches from Groundbridge while Optimus entered.

"Don't give Ratchet a hard time." She waved over her shoulder, entering the Groundbridge.

"And you think there aren't?" Ratchet said under his breath while the Groundbridge closed.

A phone hummed, and Jack whipped his flip phone.

"Well, it seems my mom needs me home. Raf." Raf sighs, collecting his laptop.

Jack looks to Miko.

"Wait, wait, wait, what makes you think I need to go home?" Miko questioned.

"Your mom asked me to look after you and your father." Jack shivered. " His demand is clear." Miko folds her arms, frowning her brows.

"Do I ever get to make my own choices?!" Miko followed the two.

"When you're eighteen." They leave the room.

"Well, you two, let's get some shuteye." Max recommended.

"I'll stay and wait till she wake." Will offered. "It's better she'll have someone to talk to." Max nods as Gwen sees it as a light jab.

"Just get some rest. I'm seeing bags under your eyes." Gwen recommended as she and Max entered the Rustbucket at the side of the room.

Will pulled out of a chair where Sunny was sound asleep.

"Well, um-" Will looks at Ratchet's back.

"Keep my eye on her. Go on." Ratchet finished.

Will gets comfortable in his chair, watching Sunny.

----

Will snores as he is laid back on his chair while drool runs down, hitting his favorite dark blue shirt. Slowly his body leans to the side before he falls from his chair.

He jumps up.

"Huh, Uhm?" He gazes around daze until his eyes land on the table Sunny was supposed to be at. Yet an empty examining table is laid before him. "Ratchet?"

Will said under his breath, seeing Ratchet was indeed gone as well. He stood to his feet, searching every crack and nook until his eyes landed on the giant hallway.

He remembered the Autobots coming from earlier.

'I never got the chance to explore yet.' He made an excuse, heading that way.

Walking down the empty; hallway. Will's shoes clicked while his head gazed about. Sizing up the hall he never thought he would walk through.

He stopped at a sizeable door that slid open up, revealing an Autobot size chamber. In the center sat a bed, yet it looked similar to a tanning bed.

"I guess this is where one of them sleeps?" He continued: onward until a loud crash echoed the hall.

He became alert, staying dead silent. The crash came again. Will followed the noise arriving at the end of the hallway; he crept against the wall until taking a peek.

"HA, ARGH!!" A shout and crash followed once more as Will approached another door. That slid open: entering another room sat a console facing a tinted window and Ratchet watching something through it.

Will approached him, staring out that same window.

Behind it was Sunny in her alien form in a mid-brawl with the Decepticons.

She absorbs an army of laser beams the drones were throwing at her. Pink energy shimmered within her as she held it close.

"RAAAAA!!!" She screams, letting go. A wave of devastating energy engulfed the wave of drones: The tinted glass flashed her energy, slightly blinding the two.

The room revealed Sunny floating with a look of distaste oozing from her pinking shimmering eyes.

"You called this a challenge?! Hit me harder!!!" She roared at the glass, causing Ratchet to sigh.

"What she's doing up?!" Will questioned as Ratchet began another wave for Sunny.

"The girl woke up in a fit of rage, and this is the best I could do for her." Ratchet stated as Sunny swift passed a heated blade.

Sunny summoned a mana blade along her forearm, slashing the drone's head clean off its shoulders.

The corpse soon glitched into nothing.

"And her straining herself is better?!" Will argued.

"You can confront her if you so wish." He folds his arms, watching the fight. "Clearly, you never heard: "Never pluck a thorn from a Rose."

Will approached the training room door.

"I don't!" He entered. "Hey!" He shouts as the simulation of drones glitched into oblivion. "You're not supposed to be up!" Sunny looked down at Will with dark shadowed eyes.

"Who told you to stop me?" Her voice echoed as his body shivered.

Sunny's glowing eyes were steak knives poking Will's soul; he felt it churning in his gut.

"If you know what's good for you, you best leave. We don't want you to lose another eye." Death oozed from Sunny.

Will staggered, yet he stood his ground.

"Sun, I'm asking you to rest." He said, slowly clenching his fist. He glances up at her with his blind eye throbbing. "I won't ask you again."

"Oh? Did I hit a nerve?" She gave a sly smirk. "You and everyone else knows your trash, Will."

"GODDAMN IT, SUNNY!!!" He boomed. "Your head is cut open, Ben is kidnapped, you starting this shit of all days?!" His baggy eyes stared at Sunny glowing ones. "'If you know what's best for you!' You bring your glowing-" A pink beam took Will off his feet. He crashed onto his chest.

"You best take that bass from your tone!" She glared as Will growled, revealing his white reflective eyes and sharp teeth. He stood up, letting grey goo take him.

"THAT'S IT!!" Edge flashes his claws before sprinting Sunny's way.

Edge clawed at Sunny, but her feet took off the cold floor. She delivered a beam, yet Edge flips from the attack.

"Feeling confident?" Sunny comment hovering from the floor as Edge shoots a line of ink that Sunny easily dodge. Her eyes followed it until it hit the wall of the training room.

Edge took off after it.

"I don't need them!" Edge fist lands across Sunny cheek.

Edge drives his claws into the wall: Keeping himself upright.

'Behind you!' Edge called out before leaping to another wall.

The wall he left behind exploded, and rocks and dust spilled out as Edge stuck to the wall gazing out at Alien-form Sunny.

"RAH!!" She drives her arm: delivering pink energy slashes his way. Edge flips from the wall leaving a large gash behind.

"What's your problem, huh?!" Edge ink swings dodging incoming attacks Sunny used earlier. He somersaults to the ground, landing on his feet. "Is this about Gwen?!"

"Like you know anything about it!" Sunny's energy surged within her before releasing three large slashes his way.

Edge cartwheel flip from the attack as it crashes against the wall. Smoke and rocks rained from the explosion.

Sunny gathered her energy once more as rocks hovered by her side.

"You're carriers won't save you from me!" Sunny boast.

Edge clenched his fist before leaving a blue line behind. Within seconds his fist crashed into Sunny's jaw. She stumbled: Edge continued with a left hook and a jab, finishing off with a spinning heel kick to her chin.

Sunny growls as Edge's head tingles.

"Fuck!! Off!!!" She punches the ground releasing a spike of her energy. Before it happened, Edge gained distances.

"Stop all of this!! What are you trying to accomplish?!" Edge questioned.

Sunny throws slash after slash Edge dodges each one until Sunny faints it into a beam. During Edge's mid-flip, the beam hits his chest, and he crashes against the wall, followed by Sunny tackling him.

"What's your deal?!" Sunny fists glowed pink.

She threw quick jabs to Edge's gut before punching his jaw. A few of Edge's sharp teeth hit the floor.

"I never ask you to look after me!" She threw another punch, but Edge caught it and soon her another fist.

He flashes a few of his missing teeth before headbutting Sunny. Sunny stumbled to a knee, alien form, vanishes revealing Sunny's bandaged head pouring blood down her face.

Edge did the same, Will returned with a bloody nose, his blood hitting the white floor.

"You're so dumb." Will pants as his sweat rained from his head. "You've been a pain in our asses for so long you just don't know it."

Sunny looked up to Will, holding her head.

"I don't think I can last a day without you being bitter to everyone or me. Heh." He lightly chuckled. "I think I'm gonna need a shrink." He looks up, flashing his smile, revealing some of his missing teeth. "Stop hiding who you are...you can't fool me."

"You know nothing...about me."

Sunny staggered before falling on her back, Will sat on his butt, leaning against the wall out of breath.

The door of the Training room opened, revealing the Autobots.

Acree and Bee raced to Will and Sunny's side.

"We leave for a few hours, and you two up and destroy our training room. I think I'm gonna put a leash on you." Acree took a knee, looking down at Will with a stern look.

He groans in pain.

"Is she alright?" Will questioned as Bee gently picked her up from the floor.

"Beep! Zip!" Ratchet sighs in relief.

"Good, let's not wait for too long. Follow along." They exit, leaving Optimus and Bulkhead gazing at the damage.

Bulkhead whistled.

"You two sure did a number on this place." Acree carries Will's bridal style causing him to grunt.

"Sorry bout that. Is there--" Will wince. "Is there something I can do to repay you?" They entered the hallway.

"The coordinates we scouted lead to Megatron ship. You did more than enough: Get some rest." Optimus walked the opposite way from Acree and Bulkhead.

A light grin was preset on Will's face, Acree noticed.

"What are you grinning about? Excited, we're rescuing your little girlfriend?"

"As a matter of fact, yes." Will staggered. " Wait, what?!" BulkHead and Acree chuckled.

"I'm just unscrewing your bolts." Bulkhead entered a door on their right.

"Alright! Goodnight, you two. And Kid." Will were all ears. "Get Ratchet to tinker on you a bit, your gonna need it." He entered his room as the door shut behind him.

"Night, Bulkhead." Acree and Will said as she continued along the way.

Acree's steps echo the quiet halls as Will uses his shirt to wipe the blood and sweat.

"Hey, if you plan on eating brains, I recommend not ruining your shirt ." Acree joked as Will rolled his eyes, wiping as much blood and sweat from his face with his shirt.

Acree approached a door getting Will's attention.

"Uh."

"We're gonna need to get that off your face. It'll only be a second." She entered the room.

"Uh, ok."

Entering an Autobot size bathroom with only an Autobot size shower and sink. Acree sat Will on the counter by the sink. She turned the nozzle to fill the bowl.

"Acree?" Will called, getting a hum from her. "How come you have a place like this?" He gazed about the room while Acree gazed at the mirror reflecting the said room. Will shook his head. "Wait, don't answer that."

"You beat me to it." Acree smirk turning the nozzle off. She crouched, grabbing something underneath, revealing a human-size rag in-between her index and thumb. She dumped it in water before ringing it out.

She handed it to Will. Will begin to clean his face.

"So, is that gonna heal soon?" Acree leans on the counter beside Will looking at the mirror.

"It will, sadly; I'm not Logan. I'll have to wait until my power kicks in, judging by my face." He studied his features closely, and Will flashed some of his missing teeth. If I have to guess one or two days at most." He winced as the rag touched the side of his lip.

The bathroom grew quiet while Acree's eyes drew from the mirror.

"Tell me...this guy." This gathers Will's attention. "That looks like us." Acree's determining eyes gazed at Will's curious ones. "What did you name him?"

"Um, HighRoller." Acree sighs while her fingers begin tapping on the counter " What's going on? This is coming out of nowhere-"

"That bot." Her voice cracks a bit. "He is my brother." She hides her face clearing her throat.

"W-wait, you never--" Acree cut him off.

"Listen!" Her sky-blue eyes land on his. Causing something in Will's head to trigger.

A white light blinds him.

----

Darkness welcomes him until a pair of eyes open.

Lasers from blue to purple rain across the field of Transformers in an all-out war. The said eyes were currently on the ground, dazed.

A metal hand similar to HighRoller was pressed against the concrete: he got to a knee until A metal boot kicked him onto his back, revealing a screaming Decepticon.

"AAAH!!!" The Decepticon pulled his arm back as his forearm shifted into a purple energy blade. Only for a blue beam to hit his shoulder, he gazes at his attacker before another burns a hole in his chest.

He drops dead while Highroller's eyes land on the dark cloudy skies of pouring lights.

A thin figure came into his line of view.

"Hey!" A familiar voice called while explosions and deaths filled his ears.

"High!!" The figure is soon revealed to be Acree. "Listen! There's no time to admire the sky! Stay with me!!" His chest was lifted from the ground, giving Highroller a better view of this battlefield.

Futuristic fighter jets roar by firing at one another before barrel-rolling past a city building. Highroller begins to be dragged by Acree as A metal hand size of a skyscraper crash on the said building revealing a black and purple Decepticon with a head of a dino.

It screeches as another giant reveals itself as a symbol. It was an Autobot. The canons on its shoulder took aim, charging a deadly amount of energy while Deceticon Giant followed up.

The two fired beams crashed, blinding everyone.

----

"Hey, kid! Kid!" Blues eyes revealed from the sudden bright light.

Worried, Acree came into the picture.

Will blinked, gathering himself.

"You alright?" She questioned.

Still, in a daze, Will gazed around the bathroom. They never left.

"What happened?"

"You tell me! You look like your mind was somewhere in Cybertron."

"Cybertron? That was Cybertron?" Acree furrowed her brows.

"What are you-" She cut herself off before sighing. "Let's get you back. I'm sorry for bringing this up with you." She set Will to his feet.

"But--" Acree cut him off.

"Get some rest. We have a lot to do Tomorrow." Acree leaves the room, leaving Will at his lonesome.

He stares at his hand, getting an afterimage of High Roller's hand before it disappears.

----

Will opened his eyes to the bunk above him. He yawns, sitting up before wincing.

"Ugh! Let me remind myself not to start a fight with Sunny." He talked under his breath while he rubbed his jaw.

Getting out of bed. Will noticed Gwen and Max were not in their bunks.

Will exit the RV noticing the others and the ground bridge activating.

He raced to them.

"Wait, I'm coming with you!" He shouted, getting the attention of everyone.

"No, you are not!" Ratchet demands.

"What?!" Will exclaim reaching his destination.

" You've moved far enough! That brawl you two had that night said everything your state is currently in." Will noticed Sunny was sitting at the examing table watching this scene.

"And what of it?! With or Without, I'll find a way."

"If you mean falling flat on your butt is an option. Feel free to take it." Acree butts in. "As much we all know how you feel for the girl, you flipping a Coin of Chance to save her is zero to none." Will clenches his fist while Jack approaches him.

"Woah, hey now. Optimus and the Autobots know what they are doing."

"YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT!!!" Will's outburst caused Jack to stagger. "Ben is somewhere with a bot!! That is equally ruthless to Vilgax!!" His eyes water as his lip bounce. "He saw me as a source...of power." He choked. "And what he did..." Will shakes his head. "I'm sure as hell I'm not letting that happen!"

"Will!" Max called, getting his attention.

It was Max giving a firm glare. He remembered this. It was back with Gwen, and Ben had enough with each other.

"..." He silently stared, and Will knew what he meant.

"Just go." Will's voice dragged. "Bring her back." He turned his back, heading to the RV with all eyes on him.

He gently closes the door shut. Listening to the silence.

"RAGH!!" He knocks cans and cups from the counter and onto the floor.

He kicks the booth seat screaming his head off, leaving it unscathed. His back hits the floor cabinets, and his butt touches the carpet. Will sobbed, looking to the ceiling.

He heard a light knock on the door. He quickly wiped his eyes and hid his cries.

"Hey. Um, Will?" Raf called as Will kept quiet. "Can I come in?" Will kept his silence. Raf slowly let himself in, and Will's eyes avoid his.

Raf sat in front of him, fidgeting with his hands. The silence between the two was deafening.

"This...Vilgax." Will's finger twitched. "Is he a Decepticon? Or maybe an alien?"

"...Alien." He wipes the snout from his nose with his arm. "I didn't take this hero stuff seriously until...him." He said the last word with venom. "Every person I faced wanted to kill me and the others, but.." He sniffed, shrugging his shoulders.

"But, what?" Raf questioned.

Will's red, puffy eyes finally connect to Ralph's brown eyes.

"It just feels different, I don't know." Ralph sighs, laying his head against the Booth seat.

"My dad once said." Ralph starts getting Will's attention. "As you grow up. You'll experience things that wouldn't have happened. It could be your background, or it could be an entirely different story." Will listen well. "In the circle of life, there are bad guys and good guys, but they are all not real. Action makes the man." Ralph stood to his feet.

"Wait?! You're saying he's after power for a reason?" Will questioned.

"We all have reasons for our actions." Ralph opened the door. "I hope I didn't bother you."

"No." Will sniff. "I'm surprised I'm getting advice from a kid."

"I'm twelve and a quarter! Plus, your argument is counterproductive." Will dryly chuckled. "Get better soon." Raf closes the door behind them.

----

Will checked his phone it's was dark.

"The hell taking them so long." The door to the RV opened, revealing Miko and Sunny. "Uh-"

"Don't talk." Miko cut him off. "I'll like your help. To go after Bulkhead and the others." Will staggered.

"Wait, you think that's a good idea?"

"Oh, you thought about it?" Sunny remarked as Will lightly glared.

"And why you're here? Wait, you're looking for a fight." Will raised a brow.

"Great analyze, dumbass." Sunny folds her arms. "But, no, something has gone wrong. I can feel it." Will gives a surprised look. "What?"

"You care." Sunny brow bounce.

"I could-"

"There's no time for that! Are you in?" Miko cuts Sunny off, questioning Will.

"I'm in, but how could we use the ground bridge? And being honest, we three don't seem to be the brightest out of the bunch."

"I have that covered." Miko exited the RV while Sunny socked him on the shoulder.

"Ow!" He followed til Miko stopped facing Ratchet on the console like usual. She whipped her flipped phone and dialed a number, pressing answer. The phone hummed, they waited, but nothing happened.

"RATCHET!!!" Jack shouts, gaining the four attention. Jack ran down the hall, panting till he came to a stop. "There's a gas leak at hall-F."

"Huh? Move aside." Ratchet moves past Jack and the others before breaking into a sprint. Jack looks to the three before whistling.

The ground bridge begins humming.

"Alright, it's all set! Bring Bee and the others back." Ralph nods as the Groundbridge comes to life.

Sunny and Will stood watching the ground bridge radiating colorful lights.

The soft breeze brushes their hair. Miko took charge, entering the portal.

"Come on!" Sunny followed.

Will nods to Ralph and Jack before entering the ground bridge. The hall of light welcomes him as he sprints down it with determination.

'Don't worry, Ben. We're on our way.'

Will's foot gave out, causing him to fall out of the portal. The lights vanish.

"OH, SHIT!" He notices a hill of sand.

Will begin tumbling down it as a trail of sand follow.

"Fuck! OH!" He rolled from his back and flipped from the slope. "AHAHAAAAA!!!" He begins rolling again until falling to his back. "Ugh." Will groaned.

"What a way to be subtle." Sunny comments, patting herself down as Will get's to his feet, brushing the sand from his hair.

"It was a simple mistake. Ralph couldn't have known." Miko comments, dumping sand from her shoe.

They were in a Desert. The stars in the night lit up the chilly wonderland in the kingdom of sand.

"Wait, a Desert?" Will looks around. " Where you think they're hiding out?" He rubs his arms.

"They have a ship or more like an aircraft. My guess is somewhere underground." Miko comments.

"No." Sunny points to the sky. "She's up there." Miko and Will's eyes land on the stars in a daze. "Look closely."

Will and Miko's eyes adjust until revealing an aircraft carrier of spikes nearly touching the stars in the sky.

The two gazed in shock.

"That's one big ship."
