"Ben, I might not be able to transform right now. I just have a bad feeling," Ryan apologized.
"Okay..." Ben's disappointment was evident. He quickly grabbed another package of the co-branded potato chips. "Otherwise, let's just buy a bag of chips and see if we can get a Sumo Slammers card."
Ryan had the most pocket money out of the three of them, so of course, they had to ask him. After all, these co-branded potato chips were more expensive than regular ones.
"I can fulfill this small wish for you," Ryan reluctantly agreed, which excited Ben. He carefully selected a package of the chips and placed it in the shopping cart.
"We've bought so many things. It should be enough. Let's go," Gwen said, looking at the full shopping cart.
"Good." Ryan looked up at the cashiers, then pushed the heavy shopping cart slowly toward a counter. The cashier began scanning the snacks and tallying the cost. With so many items, it took a while. The checkout process was boring.
"Then, what's that?"
Why is there a big frog?" Ben and Gwen, who were standing by the window, pointed outside and cried out in surprise.
"Big frog?" Ryan responded, looking over. When he focused, he saw a gigantic frog leaping repeatedly in the distance. The frog was completely green and looked like a moving mountain as it jumped, causing the ground to sway beneath them. It looked like a monster that had escaped from a movie.
Sitting on top of the giant frog was a hobo-like weirdo with a yellow face, thin muscles, messy hair, and a horned helmet.
Dr. Animo!
Looking at the rapidly approaching giant frog and Dr. Animo, Ryan felt threatened. He shouted, "He's going to crash through the wall and come in! Everyone, run!"
Instantly, the cashiers and shoppers dropped their belongings and sprinted in the opposite direction, yelling warnings as they fled.
"Let's go too. There are too many people here. It's not easy for me to transform." Ryan looked at Gwen and Ben solemnly and gave them a special instruction. He then took Gwen's hand habitually and led her toward the side. Being a boy, Ben was naturally fast and followed closely behind them.
They had only escaped a short distance and reached the food area when they heard it.
"Boom!"
The previous window, along with the entire wall, had been smashed open by the giant frog's body. It had directly crushed the cashier counter and a section of the floor.
"Now, I need to find the electronic components I want," said Dr. Animo, looking at the surrounding shelves. He directed the giant frog beneath him, "Go to the electronics area!"
"Stop, stop, don't mess around.
"If you run again, we'll shoot."
A few tall security guards, initially confident after hearing about a "big frog," came over laughing and joking. Now, however, they all looked subdued, whispering amongst themselves and holding their pistols unsteadily.
"Hahaha, are you guys here to seek death?" Dr. Animo was incredibly arrogant. He ordered the giant frog below, "Kill them all!"
Meanwhile!
Ryan pressed the Omnitrix's dial and the screen popped up. He twisted it, cycling past alien heroes like Heatblast, Diamondhead, and XLR8. In the end, he selected Four Arms! Four Arms was the most suitable choice; he had enough raw power!
Boom!
Ryan pressed the Omnitrix screen with his palm and chose to transform into Four Arms. A dazzling light enveloped his body, and, perhaps due to his sudden increase in size, the light intensified.
The being that appeared before Ben and Gwen was Four Arms. He was as burly as a monster with red skin but was surprisingly wearing a white shirt. He had four eyes and four arms, and his armor-like skin was covered in spikes that resembled formidable fur armor. His strength was limitless, and his defense was incredibly strong.
When he stood up completely, his head occasionally brushed the ceiling, and he couldn't fully extend his four arms without knocking over the shelves on both sides.
Dr. Animo also noticed the sudden flash of light coming from the food area. He raised his red sunglasses, a look of doubt spreading across his face. "What was that?" The light had disappeared quickly, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Pfft!
The giant frog spat out a massive glob of saliva, which was actually a large block of mucus, splashing toward the security guards!
This time!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The supermarket floor began to vibrate intensely. On the other side, it seemed as if a similar behemoth, no, an even more terrifying monster, was running over.
"What's coming over here?" Dr. Animo felt the vibrations growing louder and louder. His expression changed, and he quickly dismounted the giant frog.
The next moment, Four Arms burst out from around the corner, bent slightly down, and charged toward Dr. Animo with enormous strides. With each step, he covered several meters.
Dr. Animo stared at the charging Four Arms, dumbfounded. He suspected that something was wrong with his eyes.
"What monster is this? Why does it look scarier than the monster I made?"
