"What a huge crab!" Ben couldn't help but exclaim.
Gwen, quick as a flash, grabbed Ben off the seesaw and pulled him behind Four Arms.
Kraab ignored them both, staring straight at the towering Four Arms and saying coldly, "Hand over the Omnitrix, and I'll let you die quickly."
"Come and get it if you dare."
Four Arms snorted, clenching his fists until his knuckles cracked.
"Looks like you've chosen the hard way."
Kraab raised its claw and fired a crimson laser straight at them.
Four Arms grabbed the two behind him, planting his feet before launching himself upward with astonishing power. In an instant, he dodged the blast and leapt out of the warehouse.
"This place is too dangerous. The whole thing could collapse any second. Get as far away as you can."
He set the two down, then turned and charged back inside.
Whoosh!
The next instant, Kraab's massive body was hurled out violently, skidding across the ground and gouging out a deep trench.
It struggled to its feet, its dirt-stained shell cracked and grimy, eyes wide with disbelief.
Before Kraab could recover, Four Arms burst out of the dark warehouse in a single stride, his presence overwhelming—like a fortress standing alone against an army.
At once, the two clashed again.
Watching the one-sided fight, Ben and Gwen stood frozen in awe. Their Cuz was way too strong!
Four powerful fists swung through the air, each strike booming like thunder. Blow after blow rained down until Kraab could no longer fight back, retreating step by step.
"You're asking for death!"
Kraab lunged forward, its sharp claws snapping toward Four Arms, intent on tearing him apart.
Four Arms caught the claws in both hands, then unleashed a furious barrage with his remaining fists. His punches came like a storm, slamming into Kraab's armored body again and again.
"So freaking cool! Four Arms is totally my idol!" Ben shouted in awe. "If only I could transform into him someday!"
Little did he know, that wish might soon come true...
"Cuz is amazing! That ugly crab doesn't even stand a chance!" Gwen said excitedly, her eyes locked on the battle ahead.
The ground trembled as dust and debris filled the air.
Under the relentless assault, Kraab's hard shell began to dent and cave in, the marks clear evidence of Four Arms' crushing power.
"Didn't think you'd be this tough, you hunk of metal," Four Arms said slowly as he strode toward Kraab.
If it were any ordinary metal, it would've been reduced to scrap by now. But this crab-like robot was still standing—it was clearly no ordinary opponent.
"Don't get too full of yourself, Tetramand," Kraab hissed, clacking its claws. "Reckless, inferior creatures like your kind deserve nothing but extinction."
With that, it thrust both claws forward, firing scorching beams of light at blinding speed.
Four Arms let out a roar, his muscles tensing as he swung both massive arms. The beams shattered instantly, fading into the air.
Kraab leapt high, its four sharp legs spinning like a deadly drill. It ripped into the ground, disappearing beneath the surface.
The entire silver mine district began to shake violently. Old buildings collapsed one after another, dust clouds rising as wooden debris scattered everywhere.
Four Arms' expression hardened as he stared at the ground, trying to pinpoint Kraab's position. But the chaos was too loud—falling structures and grinding metal drowned out everything.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a sharp claw burst from underground, clamping down tightly on Four Arms' foot.
Agonizing pain shot through him, like a giant pair of scissors crushing his leg.
Four Arms roared in anger, raising one of his massive fists and slamming it down hard.
With a resounding crack, the claw dented deeply before snapping back underground like lightning.
"Coward! If you've got the guts, come out!" Four Arms clenched his fists, the sound of cracking knuckles echoing through the air.
Zzzzzzz!
Suddenly, a barrage of crimson lasers burst from underground, carrying violent kinetic energy that instantly engulfed Four Arms.
A series of deafening explosions erupted, flooding the area with blinding flames. Waves of scorching heat rolled outward, mixed with sand and debris, sweeping across the battlefield in all directions.
"Cuz!" Ben shouted, staring anxiously at the chaos ahead.
Gwen reacted quickly, conjuring a transparent bubble that enveloped both of them just in time to shield them from the heat and smoke.
"Cuz is so strong… he'll be fine," Gwen murmured softly, though worry flickered in her eyes.
Just then, a familiar voice called from behind.
"Ben, Gwen! What happened over there? And... where's Lucian?" Grandpa Max came running up, panting heavily.
He had been fixing the Rustbucket when the sudden blast echoed from the direction Lucian had gone. Alarmed, he dropped everything and rushed straight toward the noise.
"Grandpa, this big crab thing showed up—it tried to grab Cuz's watch!" Gwen quickly explained what had happened.
Grandpa Max's expression grew serious, deep lines of thought furrowing his brow.
As the smoke and dust slowly cleared, the scene of the battlefield came into view.
Four Arms stood tall and unshaken, his massive frame radiating power like an unyielding war god amid the devastation.
His blood-red skin was slightly charred, yet unbroken—proof of his sheer resilience and strength.
Stab!
A sharp crab claw suddenly shot out from the ground, lunging straight for his leg.
"Cuz, watch out!" Ben yelled.
Snap!
With a sharp crack, Four Arms caught the claw in his grip. Roaring furiously, he summoned every ounce of his strength and wrenched the creature clean out of the earth.
Long ago, a hero uprooted a tree—today, Four Arms tore a Kraab from the ground!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Gripping the creature tightly, Four Arms swung it like a sledgehammer, slamming it hard against the ground again and again. Sparks and dust flew in every direction with each crushing impact, the sounds like rolling thunder.
The three watching from afar stood frozen in disbelief, mouths hanging open.
"Four Arms is insane! That crab's getting wrecked!" Ben blurted out, eyes wide.
"So rough… but I kinda like it," Gwen said, her cheeks reddening slightly as admiration shone in her eyes.
"Lucian's combat instincts are incredible. He really does have the Tennyson blood," Grandpa Max said with a proud nod.
"Grandpa, does that mean everyone in the Tennyson family is strong like that?" Ben asked, scratching his head in confusion.
Grandpa Max smiled but said nothing more, his gaze fixed on the battlefield.
Kraab's body was battered and dented, its yellow-brown shell covered in deep gouges and cracks from the relentless assault.
Beep... beep... beep...
Suddenly, the Omnitrix emblem on Four Arms' chest began to flash.
"This stupid watch..."
He grabbed Kraab by the claw and swung it with all his might, hurling it into a nearby building.
The old structure collapsed instantly, wood and beams crashing down in a cloud of dust, burying Kraab completely beneath the wreckage.
Its fate—unknown...
