"Give it back, Elaine!" Liam yelled, throwing a knife at me.
I dodged it and replied, "Aw, come on, Liam, we used to work together. Doesn't that mean anything?"
Liam glared at me. "I got it fair and square! It's not even your type of contraband. It's alien tech."
"This? It looks like a watch to me," I stared at the odd device.
"Give back the Omnitrix!" a strange girl said. She was dressed in a blue outfit, a skirt and top, and she had long red hair. She shot a pink beam at me, which I dodged.
"No way! Liam, you called in for back up?" I said angrily.
"We're not his back up!" the girl yelled, and she shot at me.
I was used to being shot at, from being in the Chiass for so long, but this was ridiculous!
Two boys came up behind her. I guess they were her back up.
The younger of the two was brunette and wearing a green shirt, and the older had darker hair and was wearing black. The brunette looked like he was related to her.
"It's mine!" I shouted. "I found it and I'm going to find out what it is!"
I shot them all with a psionic blast, a psychic wave that sent them all flying backwards. Then I turned and ran.
"Come back with my contraband!" Liam cried, throwing a knife at me in a last-ditch effort.
"Are you gonna kill me, Liam?" I questioned, smirking at him.
Liam was uncertain. "Maybe."
The older boy was on his feet. He seemed to absorb the wall. "Give it back!"
I spun and hit him with another psionic blast. "Man, you guys are persistant."
The girl got to her feet as well and went over to the older boy's side.
"Kevin!" she exclaimed, then turned on me. "What's your problem?"
The other boy was up by now. "Who is she?"
Liam grabbed the Omnitrix out of my hand. "She's Elaine. My old partner."
He punched me painfully in the stomach. I fell to the ground.
I struggled to my feet. "I should've seen that coming."
Liam ran off.
"Liam! No, don't!" I yelled, but he was too far off to hear me.
The brown haired boy looked at me. "Where is he going?"
"To give it to the Chiass, probably," I sighed.
"Well, then let's go," the girl said to her accompliaces.
"I can't just let you go," I replied, knowing I would regret this. "I have to report you. You might hurt somebody."
The older boy laughed. "Us? Yeah right. What about you? You're the thief who tried to steal the Omnitrix."
"I was trying to keep the thing-whatever it was-out of the hands of a Chiass agent. You guys were just in my way."
"What?" the older kid was mad now.
"Calm down, Kevin," said the girl. "So you're not our enemy?"
"I guess not," I shrugged.
"Then help us find the Omnitrix," the younger boy was almost asking, but not really.
"I guess so," I replied. "Who knows what the Chiass might do with it. By the way, my name's Elaine."
"I'm Gwen," the girl said.
"Kevin," said the older boy.
"And I'm Ben," said the younger boy. "Gwen's my cousin."
"Well then, let's find the Omnitrix," I grinned.
