[Galvantula]

After a short trip back to his universe Vilgax wasted no time in gattering his 'allies' Driscoll, Aggregor, Zombozo, Charmcaster, Argit,Darkstar, Will Harange and Overlord. For the most part they wanted revenge although in the cases of Argit and Will they only wanted to discredit Ben. But time had not been kind to all of them as it had to Ben.

Charmcaster's sanity was now in question now that she knows her father is truly gone for good. Her former boyfriend and I use the term loosely, Darkstar was falling apart now that his body could only handle pure mana. His lips had receded, his once blue eyes were now a milky white and he was balder than he was before with cracks and sores on his ashen grey skin. Overlord's face was gaunter due to his time in prison and his eyes held a look of melancholy due to missing Jennifer, the woman he loved. Driscoll was angry that Sir George, the man he looked up to was dead and that he was a friend to Ben. To think that the founder of the Forever Knights would even think to befriend a alien like Tennyson! It was unheard of to the man now known as the true Forever King. Zombozo was in a state of disrepair too with only one eye left, cybernetic arms and a hole on his ribs that showed his insides. The rest were enraged that this immature boy is considered a hero and that he stopped them from getting their hearts' desires.

So it was quite a shock to them when Vilgax called them to the old docks on Bellwood to discuss the final attack that would leave Ben dead and the universe theirs for the taking. Perhaps even more so when they found out he had gained new allies to aid them in their dark quest and Psyphon was now a part of their group as well.

Vilgax knew from his visions that Kouhei's eye of Laplace would reveal that Vilgax was destined to wield all 12 of the Horoscope powers. Luckily for the former ruler his allies Kou and Gamou was displeased with his performance so it didn't take much to silence him. But now that he was here he wanted to introduce his teammates. Having his guests sit by a old wooden table he cleared his throat and prepared to reveal who he had gained in his final quest for vengeance.

Darkstar was hungrily chewing on a rat to the disgust of Charmcaster, Overlord and Will. Meanwhile there was something about Aggergor that was clicking in Argit's mind and he wanted to get it out now before the big presentation. "Hey there Kevin, didn't think Tennyson would drive you off your rocker so much but it's good to have ya back man! But there's something different about ya. Did you cut your hair?" Aggergor just raised a eyebrow in disbelief. "While you may believe I am the hatchling you know I am far beyond Kevin in ability, boy" he firmly stated to the ratlike alien.

Clicking a spoon against a glass to get the others' attention Vilgax called for the Horoscopes to show themselves to state their names.

Tatsumori was first. Boldly walking up to the group he clicked his Switch and turned into the ramman Zodiarts that allowed him to rule over the student body of Subaruboshi before he was stopped by Fourze. Having been woken up by Vilgax was quite a shock to him but he was willing to overlook it since he wanted revenge as much he did "ARIES!" Suffering a defeat has done nothing to stop his God Complex and if he was victorious, then his ego would run unstopped until his final days.

Yuta was next. He nearly always was strong willed and even if this wasn't what he wanted he would do their bidding for now. But soon he would return to the secret love of his life, Sayaka Mibu. Reluctantly clicking his Switch he mutated into a humanoid bull man with one swollen red eye. As he told the Negative Ten he was now Taurus he slammed his Gu-anna staff into the old planks.

Yuki walked up next. She was very nervous about all this. She was frightened that her friends would reject her for now being a Switcher. She wanted to go home with her family and freinds. But then she thought of Gentaro, the boy that is or as she worried WAS her best friend she boldly turned to Gamou and gave him a piece of her mind about all this. " Gamou-san, you were my hero. I thought you would happy I was saving my fellow students from the Zodiarts. But to find out you were behind all this-" she was getting upset again and couldn't find her nerve right now. Having to see Gamou do his red eye glowing trick was more than a little unsettling to her. Even since she heard a voice from space call out to her she was in love with space. She was always on the lookout for news about space. She even made a plush toy after the Hayabusa satellite to show her love for the universe. But she can get a little to excited about sharing her love for space at times but she was a kind soul who treasures her freinds and will do anything to make them happy, even if there are some who would think of her as only a space otaku. With tears streaming down her face she clicked her Switch and soon mutated into a jester-like form. Sadly saying that she is Gemini now she walked to where Aries and Taurus were standing, hanging her head in shame.

The Switcher of Cancer, Natsuji was next. "heh heh heh. It would seem that I shall deal this Ben a...crushing defeat" Having made his pun he then transformed into a crab man form with a large claw on his arm. " I guess he now has to deal with...Cancer" Gamou was quite pleased to have him back. He wasn't pleased that Libra tricked Virgo into banishing him. He enjoyed the humor that the young man brought to the fold.

Without so much as a word Kou turned into his Leo form. Ever since that day when Gamou found him and saved him from himself he pledged a vow of loyally to the elder Horoscope. That meant he clashed with the old Libra and Virgo, but other than that he was a value to their cause.

Virgo, already transformed was next. Emoto gave a small bow as stated that he was Virgo. He never wanted it to go like this. All the years he spent trying to stop Gamou's plans from the inside, training Ryusei to battle against the evil he helped bring about was all for naught, all because of a fluke. 'Those poor souls are innocents caught into this by the cruelty of fate. If only there were a way to save them. I know I cannot be forgiven for what I've done but perhaps there is hope for them yet' he thought solemnly.

Psyphon placed the Libra Switch by a small box near his feet. He told the Negative Ten he was now the new Libra and sat back down with Vilgax.

It was a dark rumor around the school that Sarina was the Scorpio Switcher, given that neither of them were seen after Meteor's first appearance. But it was still a bit of a shock to learn that the woman they thought was so sweet and kind was a brutal and cruel warrior that believed in Gamou's dogma 100%. Changing into her deep voiced Zodiart form as a scorpion man like being she then whipped about her stinger ponytail, growling at the reluctant group of Switchers.

Gamou was up next. He gave a long speech about how he wanted the 12 Switches to see the Presenter and how he was bringing about the next stage of human evolution. Argit fell asleep near the end of it but when he turned into the monstrous Sagittarius he awoke in a fright. Gamou in this form seemed to be radiating power and it was a little much for the little con artist to take in at first.

Tojiro was up and the change in his personality was honestly upsetting for the other hostages. While he was still the sort of fellow that bears no ill will towards anyone he was now willing to use his powers to force people into liking his music, Morphing into a goatman like form he roars out that he's Capricorn, the musical force of the Horoscopes.

Erin wasn't happy about all of this still but she was trying to see the positives of this. Her new Zodiart form as the Aquarius Horoscope could prove useful in space, given that she could survive in a vacuum in said form. But her Japanese was still rough around the edges but as long as she's stuck like this she may as well learn to improve her skill in the language. Mutating into her blue Amazoian form she cracks her Nectar whip at the sky in a show of power.

Last was Ran and she was angry. Both at her kidnappers for taking her away from the people who showed her how to trust again and truly cared for her and at herself for not being strong enough to save themselves. Thinking of her friend Haru she clicks on her Switch and turns into her Pisces form as a fish woman.

When all that was down Aggregor was the one to speak for the other eight Vilgax brought to see just what their new allies could bring to them with their strange abilities " They are good enough for what we need them for" he grumbled. But the one question that was on Yuki's mind instead of what the other thought of all this was simple: Where was Gentaro? But the poor girl was ordered to go with Aries, Cancer and Scorpio to go after this Ben, whoever he was. As she headed out she thought of just whatever he did to cause such horrible events to happen to her and her freinds.

Ben was watching some goofy romance movie with Julie. He didn't know the title nor what it was truly about but he did not care. Just spending time with her and not worrying about her anger was the best thing he could ever ask for, even moreso than the True Omnitrix resting comfortably on his wrist. It was as good as it gets for Ben. But these moments never last forever as he was about to be reminded. Gentaro charged into his door in pointed at the slayer of Diagon, a look of righteous anger awash on his face. JK leaned in to see what was going on but decided it was for the best that he stayed out of his friend's way. "BEN TENNYSON! I have seen what you've done to the people who think of you as their friend! You use your powers to force them away, you whine about not getting your way and worst of all you brag about even the smallest of your deeds! As a Kamen Rider I can not stand for this! Perpare to lose both this battle and you ego problems!" Julie looked at the enraged man with a look of fear in her eyes as JK got a touchsceen pad to record the battle between Gentaro and Ben. Poor Ben as usual had NO IDEA what was going on and without Gwen and Kevin around to save his bacon he was in deep trouble. 'If only they didn't have to go on that deep space mission right about now.' he bemoaned in his mind.
