It started with a faint tremor.

In the depths of the Ben 10,000 headquarters, there was a faint crack as a containment field, long since degraded over the course of many years finally gave way, and reality split in two. From it, three hulking forms spilled from it, and there was a faint rumble of satisfaction from the first one.

"Free at last," rumbled the first, a gargantuan behemoth in a powerful looking exosuit.

"Yes," remarked the second, a massive albino gorilla with what appeared to be a tiny head on the shoulders. "We made it through the barrier separating us from the rest of reality."

The third grunted, folding his powerful looking arms as he sneered down at his companions. "So then, we all know what to do."

"Of course," chuckled the first, clenching his fist. "From here, our paths cross no longer. It's them or us."

The others nodded and quietly they moved as the first sneered, accessing a scanner on his wrist. Scanning the area, he smirked to himself. "Jackpot."

And quickly, he began moving towards the Armory, eager to get his hands on whatever was laying around.

Hitting the ground hard enough to make the area tremble Beastboy shifted forms again this time turning into a wolf and racing for the next person in his path...Hoshi.

Fangs barred he lunged with a feral and frothy roar!

Hoshi was too focused on fighting Animo, the Gene Dopant, and the creatures they were forced to fight. Beastboy managed to break the hyperspeed she had with her noticing that he was chomping down rather hard on her side. One thing she was grateful for was the durability of the Rider suit, but she could feel his sharp teeth willing to puncture her armor.

She couldn't help but let out a pained sound, trying what she could to dislodge his teeth from her side. She didn't want to use any of her powers to hurt him, though.

"S-Shut... SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT PHILIP! He's doing t-the best he can--owwww--here!"

Seraphiel saw what his mistress was under, his eyes narrowing underneath his hood. The magnitude of Hoshi's emotions were fed into him and he started to glow brightly as he flew over to hit Animo and try to get to his mistress in time before the wound got serious enough.

While Shoutarou had been using a steady, even walk before, that was now upgraded to a run. "You don't get to talk about Philip that way." His voice was calm - probably too calm.

The Skull memory was ejected from the Magnum, then slotted into the hip holster of his armor. The button was struck, and the Maximum Drive announcement played again.

"Rider Kick."

He leaps into the air, rings of purple energy surrounding his foot, then flying toward the Dopant.

Though it was something of a mana-chugging spell, Alastirra didn't much care at the moment. She readied her maces for the chimaera's attack, and thrust one of the maces out at the beast again.

"Chain Lightning!"

She could feel Akil and Kurii watching and waiting on the other side of the spirit world, biding their time until the shaman could summon them and perhaps turn the tide of battle.

Hank had become too big of a target at the moment, so he pressed his belt and shrunk down to ant size.

"I can't cancel out his control in all this chaos. Might as well just cut off the signal." Hank said as he made a bee-line for Animo, staying out of sight and dodging all the attacks. It took some work, but he managed to work his way behind the villain. Once he was close enough, Hank grew back into Giant-Man.

"I've got him!" Hank yelled as he grabbed at Animo to try and hold him in place so the others could get a shot in.

Alastirra's mace struck true, hitting the side of the beast's head. Too slow to dodge, it collapsed, snarling and trying to recover.

"NO!" Animo shouted as the chimera fell.

He began to run as he saw Shoutarou coming at him, but before he could get anywhere, Hank had grabbed onto him tight.

"Where did you come from?" he demanded, but with the Gene Dopant's weak body, he couldn't break free. And that was when he saw the Rider Kick coming at him. "NO!"

Shoutarou's attack connected, destroying the Memory inside of Animo. Immediately, the chimera reverted to its original two component species.

With Hank still holding onto Animo's gorilla body, Animo knew he had no chance to escape. Better to cut his losses and try to find another body. The preserved head unscrewed itself from its body and sprang off, trying to escape.

By the time Hoshi had dislodged Beastboy from her side, she walked as calmly as she could over to the preserved head. She picked it up from the mechanical appendages and stared at it through her mask.

"Now, what shall we do with you?" she asked, wanting to deliver the right amount of justice to him, but she had to keep her emotions in check. "Do you even deserve a second chance?"

Before she could finish making a choice on what to do with the head in the jar, Beastboy came back this time as a Ram crashing horns first into her from behind.

Hopefully she could hold on tight.

However, to protect Hoshi was Seraphiel's metallic cross being thrown in to Beastboy's path. Should he continue to on his path, he'd find himself with a nice little lump on the head.

"Thank you, Seraphiel."

Perfect shot!

The green skinned teen slumped to the ground out cold...he'd thank her later. Without a functioning body he couldn't be controlled.

Once he'd recovered from doing the kick, Shoutarou got back to his feet. He walked back toward the others. He steps up to Hoshi, looking at the head-in-a-jar. "We'll throw him in the brig until we figure out what to do with him."

"Do you think that the animals will be all right?" And Beast Boy, but the latter was tough enough--the shaman figured they might be. But the innocent animals? That, she really sort of felt bad about.

"Is everyone all right?" Alastirra's totems were still going, and one of them was a healing totem, but..."I can offer healing if it's needed."

"I'm alright." Hank says as he shrinks back to normal size. "We should probably check all the animals and make sure they're okay. And you..." Hank walks over to Animo's head with a stern look.

"Shame on you for misusing science. You could have done so much good with those abilities."

"I'm fine," Hoshi said, still keeping her grip on Animo's mechanical limbs strong. Like hell was she going to let him easily escape from right under her nose.

In fact, it seemed the bite wound she endured didn't do much but cause her to have a stinging sensation in her abdomen.

Shoutarou looks around - he's making an awkward face, but it can't be seen through the helmet. "I don't know - I don't think I hit them too hard..."

He turns back to Hoshi, then reaches out to grab hold of Animo. "I'll take care of him. You go back to Philip. I'll catch up."
