” Urrgh…” Kevin clutched at his head with one arm while holding the steering wheel with the other as he continued to drive.
” I knew staying out with those guys wouldn’t end good…
But Mom did tell me to try and make some friends this time around.” He said, joking at the end.
” I wonder what she’d say if she knew I was still out past 10.” He laughed a bit.
Letting out a breath he placed both hands on the steering wheel, stepping on the gas, he sped up the car a bit.
‘ Huh?’ But while driving through the dark woods with nothing but his headlights on.
He saw a green glow flying through the sky.
‘ is that some kind of shooting star?’ he mumbled to himself.
But as the so-called shooting star grew more and more closer.
Kevin unconsciously held his steering wheel tight.
He watched as the green star flew past him, heading into the forest.
BAM!!
An explosion was heard in the distance, startling him.
SCREEEECH!
‘ What in the!’ Kevin’s car began swerving out of control due to his lack of concentration.
His muscles tensed as he tried his best to bring the car back on track.
SKKKRT!
But he was too inexperienced.
In the end, The Car suddenly went off road, jolting as it did so.
BAM!
It drove through the woods before slamming into a thick tree trunk.
POOF~
The air bag fortunately deployed on impact, saving Kevin at the last minute.
Feeling disoriented, Kevin held his head to calm down a bit.
He felt something warm and sticky on his arms, which was but his own blood.
” Urrgh…” He groaned as he pushed the door open before stepping outside.
He then glanced at his cars front.
‘ Doesn’t look too bad, but how on earth do I get insurance to cover this–’ he said to himself only to stop mid way when he saw something at the corner of his eyes.
Within the depth of the forest was a pulsing green glow.
The green glow pulsed like a heart beat.
‘ What exactly is that thing…’ he wondered.
Since this was his first time encountering a fallen star.
‘ Wait, if it’s some kind of precious meteorite, couldn’t I sell it to some museum for money?’ Kevin’s eyes suddenly lit up with an idea.
While it was risky to remain within these dark woods, Kevin preferred to at least try his luck than bordering his dear old mother.
He took out his phone, letting out a sigh of relief since it wasn’t damaged.
Turning on his flash light, he headed deeper into the woods.
******
After some time, he emerged within a clearing.
There, he saw a deep crater where the green glow was coming from.
He walked into the clearing before looking down into the crater.
There he saw what looked like a damage capsule, as if sensing his gaze, the capsule peeled open like some living flesh.
Kevin gulped at the sight, but on seeing what was inside the capsule, his eyes widened in disbelief.
” Holy shit…
Is that what I think it is?” Kevin said.
He jumped into the crater, sliding off the dirt to reach the capsule.
On reaching down he continued to stare at the object within, an item he never thought he’d one day see, one he’d only seen on screen rather than in real life.
The very item most could only dream of but never obtain.
The Omnitrix.
********
Some time later.
A tow truck worker hooked his towing hook beneath the back of Kevin’s crashed car.
” Alright, we’re all set.” The red neck grinned before getting into his truck and starting the engine.
Kevin stood aside with his arms crossed over his chest, watching as the retracting hook slowly pulled his car from the damaged tree.
Once the back of his car was safely above ground.
Kevin walked over to the tow truck before getting in the passenger seat.
” Thanks again for coming on such short notice.” Kevin thanked the tow truck man.
” Don’t mention it lad, I couldn’t just sit back and leave ya out here on ya own, now could I?” The man chuckled before driving the car onto the road.
” How’d ya get stuck there anyway, I don’t recall this road being that busy.” He asked, glancing at Kevin for a bit.
” Uhh…
Let’s just say I got a bit distracted.”
” Aight Aight, you needn’t say more.
We all get hung over after one too many bottles hehehe, Glad you called me and not some copper.” The man laughed.
Kevin could only laugh awkwardly in turn.
” Fancy watch you got there, Some sort of souvenir or something?” The man said while staring at the Omnitrix on Kevin’s wrist.
‘ I wish…’ Kevin sighed inwardly.
At first, Kevin wasn’t so sure he should take it, but on trying to leave, the watch shot towards his wrist on its own.
Don’t get him wrong, anyone would be dying of joy to have it, but Kevin on the other hand was more worried about those who would come after it, if the watch was here, who was to say that monster of calamari wasn’t somewhere close by.
Just thinking about it caused him to gulp down in fear.
” I have one myself, got it signed to, buy Red Rush himself.” The man grinned as he reached into his glove compartment to pull out a pair of red visor’s.
” W-Wait…
What did you say?” Kevin said with a stiff look on his face.
” Oh, about my glasses?”
” Y-Yes, those, who did you say signed them.”
” Well Red Rush of course.
Was really lucky to, not everyone gets a chance to meet the red speedster.” The man said with a look of pride on his face.
” Umm…
Pardon me asking but, By Red Rush, do you mean the Red Rush, from the guardians of the globe?” Kevin said but at this point, his face was pale with fright.
” Buddy you don’t look too good, you sure you didn’t hit your head during that crash?”
” What other superhero team would he be in?” The man said as if it were common knowledge.
‘ No way….
This can’t be happening.’ Kevin said to himself.
‘ Of all the worlds to be tossed into, why did it have to be this one.’
Now thinking about it, Kevin would’ve preferred to face vilgax than be sent to this verse.
Unlike Ben 10, which he loved watching, he couldn’t even go past season 1 of INVINCIBLE because of all the gore and blood shed, yet here he was, now stuck here, not sure how he was supposed to get back.
Hey there everyone, your favourite Dukling here, hope you can look past this ugly mug of mine and enjoy what I have in store.
