Chapter 17: Chapter 17: The Clash of Titans - Battle Between Ben 10,000 and Doraemon
The atmosphere was electric as the arena hummed with anticipation. Across the multiverse, countless beings tuned in, their eyes glued to the screens displaying the larger-than-life competitors. On one side of the arena stood Ben 10,000, the legendary wielder of the Omnitrix, his stance brimming with confidence. Opposite him hovered Doraemon, the robotic cat from the 22nd century, his signature gadgets gleaming in the light. The announcer's booming voice echoed, signaling the start of the much-anticipated battle.
The Battle Begins
Ben wasted no time. Slamming his hand onto the Omnitrix, he transformed into Heatblast, flames roaring around his body. His fiery fists shot forward, unleashing torrents of heat aimed at Doraemon. The robotic cat, unfazed, activated his Bamboo Copter, ascending swiftly to dodge the flames.
"Too slow, Ben!" Doraemon taunted, pulling out his Take-Copter. Attaching it to his head, he zipped through the air, his movements quick and unpredictable. As he maneuvered, he tossed a Doraemon Gadget Bomb. The device exploded mid-air, releasing a cloud of colorful, blinding smoke.
"Nice trick," Ben growled, shifting gears. A quick adjustment on the Omnitrix, and he was XLR8, a super-speed alien. "But I'm faster than you think!" In an instant, he zoomed around the arena, creating a tornado that dissipated the smoke.
Doraemon anticipated the move, producing his Anywhere Door. "Let's see how you handle this!" he yelled, stepping through and appearing directly behind Ben. Without hesitation, he hurled a barrage of Gadget Projectiles, each one emitting a unique, chaotic energy.
"Not so fast," Ben countered, switching to Diamondhead. His crystalline body gleamed as he deflected the projectiles, sending them hurtling back toward Doraemon. The crowd gasped as Doraemon narrowly dodged the reflected attack, his Take-Copter whirring to keep him aloft.
The Fight Intensifies
The battle turned into a showcase of abilities, with both competitors pulling out all the stops. Ben cycled through his alien transformations, each one adding a new dynamic to the fight:
Four Arms: Displaying superhuman strength, he lifted chunks of the arena floor and hurled them at Doraemon, forcing the robotic cat to dart around like a buzzing bee. Upgrade: Merging with the arena's technology, Ben gained control over its structures, reshaping parts of the battleground to trap Doraemon. Ghostfreak: Slipping through Doraemon's Mighty Kawaii attack, Ben phased behind him and delivered a surprise blow, causing the crowd to erupt in cheers.
Doraemon proved no less formidable. His gadgets came into play with calculated precision:
Time Stop Watch: With a press of a button, he froze time momentarily, setting up traps and positioning himself strategically. Take-Copter: Using it to stay airborne, he avoided Ben's more grounded attacks while dropping gadgets from above. Big Light: Shining it across the arena, he blinded Ben momentarily, buying himself precious seconds.
The two combatants traded blow after blow, each showcasing their ingenuity and resourcefulness. The crowd was on edge, cheering and gasping with every move.
A Spectacle of Power
As the battle raged on, Ben's transformations came faster, each one countering Doraemon's latest gadget:
Brainstorm: The hyper-intelligent alien analyzed Doraemon's movements, predicting his next move with startling accuracy. Wildvine: Using vine-like appendages, Ben tried to ensnare Doraemon, who narrowly escaped by activating his Shrink Ray to reduce his size. Ultimate Echo Echo: A devastating sonic wave resonated through the arena, momentarily disorienting Doraemon despite his soundproof ear coverings.
Doraemon retaliated with his most ingenious gadgets yet:
Air Cannon: A powerful blast of air disrupted Ben's transformations, forcing him to recalibrate his strategy. Gravity Adjuster: Increasing the gravity around Ben, Doraemon slowed his movements, giving himself a tactical advantage. Elastic Bands: Launched in rapid succession, the bands wrapped around Ben, restricting his ability to transform.
"Is that all you've got?" Ben smirked, slamming the Omnitrix and breaking free of the bands with his newfound transformation into Rath.
The Climactic Final Moments
The battle reached its peak as both fighters unleashed their most powerful abilities. Ben, now transformed into Way Big, towered over the arena. He swung his massive arms, creating shockwaves that rippled through the battleground.
Doraemon, unfazed by the size difference, activated his Time Stop Watch once more. "Time to end this," he declared, setting up a complex trap involving Elastic Bands, Sticky Floor Tiles, and his Anywhere Door. When time resumed, Ben found himself ensnared, his massive form unable to move.
With a triumphant yell, Doraemon activated the final mechanism of his trap. The Elastic Bands tightened, and the Sticky Floor Tiles immobilized Ben completely.
The announcer's voice boomed: "The winner of this epic clash is… Doraemon!" The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, the sound echoing across the multiverse.
Aftermath of the Battle
As the dust settled, both competitors stood in the center of the arena, catching their breath. The announcer addressed the audience, explaining the stakes and rewards.
Doraemon's Prize: A Future Gadget Showcase, expanding his already impressive arsenal. Ben's Consequence: Sharing the Omnitrix with his rivals for a month, limiting his ability to transform.
The reactions across the multiverse were as diverse as the universes themselves:
