Omniverse Chapter, Chapter 6: The Truth

I watched as our two Galvan handymen Blukic and Driba test fired a new laser gun on Ben, who had turned into Chromastone. "It's still not working right, Blukic!" the shorter Driba said. "Set it on stun, we get blast! Set it on blast, we get a low battery warning!"

"The knob is on upside down, Driba!" the taller Blukic said, pointing at the knob that changed the settings on the laser gun. I rolled my eyes. "Come on, guys," Ben said to them as he changed back to normal. "Are we done here? I thought Galvans were supposed to be the smartest beings in the universe! As in, figure stuff out quickly so Ben Tennyson can go home smart?" The two got angry at Ben and decided to continue testing the laser without warning him. However, they were too distracted to see a shadowy man run right past them. "Who could that be at this hour?" I thought to myself as I followed him. While I wasn't the best at mana or changing into aliens, there was one thing I was far better at than Ben--stealth.

I tailed the man until he got to the computer room. He had some sort of flash drive in his hand, which he stuck into the computer. "Play helix files, holo display," the man said with a heavy Australian accent. I watched from a distance, curious to know exactly what was in the Helix files. A good amount of the data kept in the files was not very surprising to know about--like Ben's attitude, Azmuth's attitude, and how annoying Albedo really was. Why did I even like him? What I didn't know was that these files contained the origin of that Malware guy from back when Ben and I were 11 and 9. "Malware?" I whispered. The man turned around to see if anyone was there. I hid on the other side of the door, hoping he didn't see me.

As soon as I peered out of hiding, he was done looking at the file. "Hmm, this has been illuminating. Copy helix files. Copy all files. Designate...Ben Tennyson." I then looked at my device. "Please do this for me," I whispered. "Sororotrix, camera mode!" I managed to get a picture of the man before Ben, Blukic and Driba walked up to me. "Where have you been?" Ben asked. "Come on, let's go home. I'd like to change into pants that haven't been on fire." I nodded and followed him, but I could only think about that mysterious man I saw. Who was he? What did he want?
