The alien shape shifter had parked his car outside of the store as he stood behind a man who was stacking up several cans of food. The man in question was about the same age as his grandfather with a balding head and wearing a red pink outfit with the name 'Baumann's' on his apron.

"So Mr. Baumann, what do you know?" Ben asked, as the man just shrugs.

"I know a lot of things." The man shrugs.

"What about…alien shake downs?" Ben asked again, making the older man look up in surprise.

"Uh…no. Look, I am really busy right now." Mr. Baumann murmured nervously.

"Uh-huh…" Ben crossed his arms while squinting his eyes, clearly unconvinced with the man answer.

Mr. Baumann looked around cautiously before pushing the Ultimatrix bearer out.

"Look, it was nice seeing you  again Ben. You can have something to go, just leave. Now." Mr. Baumann whispered nervously.

"They're coming now, huh?" Ben asked solemnly as Baumann groaned.

"Look, it's a simple arrangement, OK? I pay them and they leave my business alone." Baumann admitted as Ben looked at him with concern.

"Mr. Baumann, i've seen what these guys can do. That guy, Pakmar, has lost his business already. He could have died from that explosion. I don't want to see these guys do anything to you or anyone else." Ben exclaimed, looking at the older man with some concern as Baumann looked around and sighed.

"Fine…just sit at the counter. And don't make a spectacle of yourself." Baumann sighed in defeated as he went to the counter, leaving the smirking alien shape shifter behind.

Ben smirked as he twisted the Ultimatrix faceplate. After the watch face popped out, he quickly turned the dial again a few couple times. "Lets see…Eeny-meeny-you." Ben then slammed the faceplate down and a bright green light emitted from the watch that quickly hid Ben from view to the casual observer. Once the transformation was complete, the light faded to revealed a a hulking, broad-shouldered alien covered in natural, yellow armor plating on his back, shoulders, and the backs of his arms. He is mostly white with black stripe goes down to his chest and has four claws on both of his hands. He wears the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest. Though this ended up with Baumann seeing him accidentally knock over his stack of cans, making  him face palmed as a cloaked figure looked at the two curiously.

"Uh…my bad!" Cannonbolt smiled sheepishly as he went to the counter, with some cans in his hand and gave a sheepish look to everyone that looking at him.

Cannonbolt proceed to sat at the counter, accidentally bending the chairs under his weight.

Cannonbolt then heard his stomach growl a bit as he looked to the hooded man with a sandwich in front of him. "Uh, hey dude, you gonna finish that?"

the man calmly gave him his sandwich, much to the Ultimatrix bearer surprise.

"Uh…thanks. Think you can pass me the-" Before Cannonbolt could finished his sentences, the other items were given in front of him with surprisingly fast speed.

"Whoa! Uh, thanks." Cannonbolt looking uncomfortably at the hooded man, before shrugged and picked up his sandwich when he heard a yelling sound, coming from behind him.

"Pay up, Baumann." Shouted a voice as three thugs walked into the building. The source of the voice was a worm-like alien in a battle suit with a cloud of blue mist on the inside of his helmet. Next to him were a feminine machine-like creature with a rounded head and a battle suit. The last is a humanoid chicken-like creature with dark eyes, razor blades on his arms and brown pants.

"Bwaa-Yeah, you know what happened to Pakmar." the chicken man exclaimed.

"I heard he had a great deal on Toilets, too bad for him." Cannonbolt setting his sandwich down as Baumann frowning at him.

"Yeah…well, accidents can happen." the female member smirked as she cracked her knuckles.

"Right, Mr. Baumann?" She then motioned to a large device, which looked similar to a bomb.

"Alright, here." Baumann yelled nervously as he went to get the money.

The chicken man took notice of some fallen birdseed nearby and began to perched  it as Baumann got some blue crystals out, which the armored alien took.

"Thanks." The man armored alien smirk. Ben who couldn't stand to watch the poor man being robbed quickly got up from his seat and accidentally making a crack in the counter.

"Hold it, Bubble-head." Cannonbolt shouted furiously.

"This doesn't concern you, so just buzz off." The Bubble Helmet glared at the transformed teen.

"Sorry, but i'm not gonna let you intimidate people any more." Cannonbolt gritted his teeths in anger.

Bubble Helmet frowned as he pulled out two laser gun.

"Well then, you're gonna need to learn your lesson." Bubble Helmet smirked as he fired out several lasers from his gun, which Cannonbolt easily dodged by turning into his sphere form and rolled up out of the laser reach.

Baumann who witnessing the fight in front of him instantly hid under the counter in fear. This is followed by many of his customers who quickly running away from his store.

Cannonbolt's sphere form crashed into Bubble helmet, in process making him flying into some shelves and destroying them.

"Ugh…I knew this would happen..." Baumann muttered as the hooded figure just calmly continued to eat, mostly ignoring the action around him.

Fistina silently trying to attack the Ultimatrix bearer, but Cannonbolt still in his sphere form noticed her presence and rammed into her, effectively send her flying  and crashed into a group of shelves.

Cannonbolt stopped rolling around and standing  "Uh…I'll clean that up later." The transformed teen exclaimed sheepishly as Baumann groaned in annoyance.

"You always say that…all of you plumbers always say that…" Baumann groaned as Liam glared at the transformed teen. The bird man quickly running at him and sending a midair kick at his direction. The kick hit him head on, making Cannonbolt cried out in pain as he being knocked over at the birdseed.

"Ok…this form is too bulky…"  Cannonbolt groaned as he saw Liam advancing at his direction with his claws out. That's when Cannonbolt saw the birdseed that scattered near by and took a handful of it, as Liam looked curiously before coming over to perched it. Cannonbolt Smirked and quickly grabs the bird man and put the bird man in his chest. He started to rolling away in his sphere form with Liam in it as Fistina got up and fired her hand at Cannonbolt, which hit his sphere form very hard. This quickly proven useless due to Cannonbolt's strong armor. Instead the hand instantly ricochets off of cannonbolt armor and flying aimlessly.

Bauuman frantically screaming in fear and barely managed to ducked out of the flying hand way. The hooded customer just calmly moved his food out of the way again as the fist returned, with Fistina yelled furiously as he exited his sphere form and dropped the dizzy bird man. Cannonbolt standing and looked up at bubble Helmet who seemed trying to turned on the machine from earlier.

"Oh no you don't!. Its time to go Ultimate" Cannobolt quickly tapped the Ultimatrix dial on his chest. In response, four spikes popped out from around the Ultimatrix symbol and Cannonbolt immediately began to change. His body color turned into hard light metallic blue with cylindrical studs grow from his shell. Finally he wears the evolved Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.

"ULTIMATE CANNONBOLT"

Ultimate Cannonbolt quickly turned into his new spiky sphere form and rolling towards Bubble Helmet direction with incredible speed far surpassing his devolved form.

Bubble Helmet smirked as he saw Ultimate Cannonbolt spiky sphere form heading towards him. "Too late, kid." He shouted and pressed a button as a red force field came over it, making Ultimate Cannonbolt spiky sphere form stopped at his track and exited his sphere form before widening his eyes when he saw the device started to count down.

Liam groaned as he and Fistina got up and ran over at Ultimate Cannonbolt direction, as both of them was about to punch the Ultimatrix bearer, but he easily managed to dodged their clumsy attack due to the more reflex gained from his evolved form. Ultimate Cannonbolt instantly turned into his spiky sphere form and charged at their direction, ultimately crashing and Sending them flying far from his way.

Ultimate Cannonbolt doesn't stop and continued to rolled at the bomb direction. "Look I got the bomb, Mr.Bauman!" The sphere alien happily exclaimed as a beeping sound came out before transforming Ultimate Cannonbolt still in his spiky sphere form into his human form, making Ben flying and hit the force field with a groan. "Really bad timing, New Ultimatrix…"
