Thud!
The massive body slammed into the floor, shaking it violently, nearly collapsing the entire second floor under its weight.
Snapping back to focus, Buzzshock unleashed a surge of crackling energy, hurling a powerful wave of electricity straight ahead.
Sizzle!
The blazing green lightning, like a roaring serpent of energy, struck the blue monster in an instant.
But the fierce attack only made it pause briefly. Enduring the raging current, the blue creature pressed forward, unfazed.
Its bare torso turned black and blistered under the intense electric assault, yet the beast showed no sign of pain—its eyes wild, its movements unrestrained, like a feral animal newly freed from its cage.
The creature was even larger than Ben's transformed Four Arms, its power terrifying to behold.
With blood-red eyes, it roared furiously and swung a hardened fist, aiming to crush the Dovat before it.
Buzzshock didn't move to dodge, continuing to release an overwhelming current of electricity.
In a flash, the blue monster closed the distance and punched, shattering Buzzshock into fragments that fell to the ground in a shower of black debris.
"ROAR!!"
The four-armed creature let out a thunderous howl, declaring itself the ruler of the world.
But the next instant, a faint slithering sound came from beneath its feet.
The monster froze, lowering its head slowly.
The scattered black fragments on the ground began to shift and grow—first forming limbs, then a head, until five complete Buzzshock clones stood before it.
The blue creature trembled with fury and fear, its body quivering before it roared again and charged forward with explosive force.
Whoosh!
All five Buzzshock blurred into streaks of green light, easily dodging the bull-like rush.
Losing its target, the four-armed monster stumbled forward, its massive body tilting off balance before it crashed straight through the floor into the first-floor hall.
"What is that thing?" Gwen gasped, staring into the gaping pit where the giant had fallen.
It looked almost identical to Four Arms—but its skin was blue, and its upper body was bare.
"Ben, Gwen, get behind me!"
Grandpa Max's face hardened as he drew the twin blasters from his belt and aimed them at the creature.
Ripjaws grabbed the fish tank, took a huge gulp of water, and wiped his mouth. "Last time, I just didn't dodge in time! This time, I'll show you what I've got!!"
Before anyone could react, he charged forward, claws bared, determined to reclaim some pride.
Boom!
The blue monster snatched up a chunk of debris and hurled it. The boulder slammed into Ripjaws' gut, sending him flying back and crashing near the stairs.
"Oh man~ I don't wanna turn into dried fish." Ripjaws rubbed his head, looking helpless and goofy.
Seeing the situation deteriorate, Grandpa Max squeezed the triggers, unleashing a barrage of blue laser fire that hammered into the creature's chest.
"Water Dragon Soul!" Gwen cried out, summoning a swirling surge of water that took the shape of a mighty dragon. It roared as it shot forward, crashing into the blue monster with tremendous force.
But the Tetramand's defense was monstrous—like an immovable mountain. The attacks from both Grandpa Max and Gwen failed to even slow it down.
The creature kept walking, step by heavy step, through the hail of lasers and water blasts, closing the distance between them.
"Grandpa, what do we do?" Sweat streamed down Gwen's face; she was reaching her limit.
Grandpa Max kept firing, jaw tight and brows furrowed, but he had no plan left.
Run?
He knew he couldn't outrun a Tetramand—and even if he could, what about Gwen and Ben?
The blue monster spread its four arms wide, looming like a demon from legend, ready to strike.
Crackle!
Five brilliant streaks of green lightning descended from above, slamming into the ground between them and the monster, blocking its advance.
"It's Buzzshock! Cuz is here!" Gwen's eyes lit up, hope surging in her chest.
As long as Lucian was there, it felt like nothing in the world could hurt them—not even the sky falling.
In the wrecked hall, five Buzzshocks stood side by side, their bodies crackling with blue-green light as they surrounded the four-armed monster.
"Hahaha!" They let out sharp, shrill screeches, raising their palms to unleash torrents of electricity.
Five raging streams of lightning twisted and coiled together, merging into a massive surge of energy that pulsed with a glowing ring of power before firing straight toward the creature's chest.
The four-armed monster's eyes widened in alarm. It crossed its muscular arms just in time to shield itself.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion erupted, swallowing the creature in a blinding flash. Green light flared across the hall, lighting every corner like a storm of energy.
When the brightness finally faded, the scene became clear.
The enormous blue Tetramand still stood where it was—but one of its arms was torn open by a massive gash, blood streaming down in thick rivulets.
Its entire body was scorched and steaming, and the scars already covering its flesh now looked even more hideous and menacing.
"Roar…" The creature clutched its wounded arm, its crimson eyes blazing with fury.
"What defense…" Grandpa Max muttered.
Any ordinary alien would've been reduced to ashes by that blast. The fact that this Tetramand was still standing meant it was an elite among its kind.
"You… all… DIE!!" the blue creature snarled in broken words.
Before anyone could respond, it stomped hard on the floor, shattering it beneath its feet as a violent gust of wind burst outward. Then it charged straight at them.
Buzzshock, drained of power, didn't have time to recharge. The five copies merged back into one in a flash of light.
Big guy, huh? Try this!
Buzzshock slapped the Omnitrix on his chest. In an instant, his form shifted and expanded—transforming into Humungousaur!
Inside the confined villa, he didn't enlarge his full size—it would've limited his movement. Against this Tetramand, his regular form was enough.
The blue creature roared and rushed forward, its blood-red eyes wild with fury, a monstrous aura radiating from its charge.
Humungousaur raised his massive palm to block the oncoming punch, then spun his entire body and swept out his powerful tail.
Thud!
The thick, whip-like tail smashed into the Tetramand's side with terrifying force, sending it hurtling across the hall. The shockwave ripped through the air, scattering debris and clouds of dust everywhere.
"Awesome! Cuz is amazing!" Gwen cheered, her earlier fear completely forgotten.
Ripjaws grabbed the fish tank again, gulped down a mouthful of water, then reluctantly set it back down—the water was nearly gone, and one more sip would've left the poor goldfish done for.
"Water… I need more water…" Ripjaws groaned weakly, collapsing onto the floor.
Thud!
A sudden flash of red light filled the room, saving him just in time.
As the thick smoke cleared, the four-armed monster was revealed lying against the wall, clutching its waist in pain.
Humungousaur stepped forward and grabbed him by the torso, lifting him effortlessly like a child holding a toy.
"Wait!" a sudden, unfamiliar voice called out from the doorway.
