chapter 1

The ship had finally landed for ben it was a blessing he was done being stuck in that little ship. he also really wanted a smoothie sense it had been so long since his last one. yes two weeks with no smoothie is a long time when it came to ben tennyson. though something had been on his mind the whole ride home. something about rook and what he was like before they met. it was obvious on rooks home planet he was the guy all the Revonnahgander girls wanted. he found that out when he visited Revonnah with rook for the harvest festival. now he wondered what rook was like back at the academy. this came about when they landed on Anur Transyl and met rook's old colleague scout. the two seemed to joke around together and rook just seemed to be a little out of character.

"ben are you all right?" rook asked. ben unconsciously had been staring at rook and only noticed when rook snapped him from his thoughts. "oh its nothing was just wondering about something," ben replied trying to roll over the fact he had been staring. rook looked at ben with curiosity, "what is it you where wondering that caused you to stare at me." ben let out a sigh knowing that the factor of the awkward gesture wasn't going to be so easily forgotten. "have i upset you," asked rook his voice had a hint of worry. "no it oh never mind... though i was hoping i could ask you something," ben smiled as innocently as possible. "of course ben," exclaimed rook," as your partner I should help you any way possible." ben's smile turned devise, "then in that case what was it like while you were in plumber academy?"

at first rook was takin back with shock. "what an odd question," the cat like alien thought. he then smiled as he began walking to the main room of the base. "well when i was there we were split into squads and within those squads we were in teams of three. each team then was assigned a leader. one of my team members was scout and our team leader was human like you. the three of us were at the top ranking in are squad," rook smiled recalling the two friends he made at school. now be was interested even more, "wow this guy must be pretty cool to lead you to the top of the charts. so do you know where he is now. maybe what his position is at the moment." "well are leader was actually," rook began as they entered the monitor room. "blanko is that you?" interrupted a voice coming from the room. the two boys stopped to see the owner step into view. it was a human girl who looked about twenty or so. her plumer uniform was very similar to rook's proto suit but different. yes the colors were the same but her was two pieces ad the top was skirted. the girl's suit also had a few belts: one around the waist and two more criss crossed on the skirt. the boots where were topped with a metal rim and her shoulders held metal casing as well. on her arms she wore metallic gloves and on each one was a green screen. she also had to metal accent pieces in the middle of her upper torso. then the girl wore what look like metal headphones attached to a green visor that ran across the girl's face, and the plumber symbol was located all over: such as on her belts, gloves, boots, on the silver collar at the top of the suite, and was on both sides of her head phones. the girl was about average height and,not as if ben was staring or anything, had a very nice figure shown of by the suite. her skin was very pale and her hair, which was pulled into a loose ponytail, was a harvest gold color.

"Gracy!" exclaimed rook stepping forward with a smile," it has been a while." ben now was confused and it showed. the girl gave a small giggle as she walked over to the two. "ben," rook said putting his hands on the girls shoulders," this is Gracy C. Scarlet. she was the leader of my team back at the academy." ben's jaw dropped, "but she is a girl." gracy lifted an eyebrow with a smile, "you seem surprised." the girl teased. she then turned to rock and gave him a big hug. "I missed you," gracy said cheerfully. "so here's a question," ben stated, "why are your suits similar. is she wearing proto armor two?"

"no," rook answered shaking his head," she is wearing the P.A suite." "the P.A stands for proto adapter," gracy added, "it's like blanko's suit but it actually does something completely different from his proto weapon and armor. my suit allows me to adapt to my surroundings and situations. this also gives me the ability to harness the abilities of aliens like your omnitrixes but i don't turn into them like you." ben nodded his face still filled with confusion. gracy gave a sigh and it followed by a small giggle. "me and blanko we entered into a special program. we were monitored and someone notice mine a rooks abilities that would be able to correspond to our respective gear," she began. "yes I had possessed the fine motor skills and dexterity as well as the combat and reflex skills for the proto weapon. gracy has the unique ability to adapt her mind to everything that is happening around her. her P.A suite can adapt physically as fast as her mind can," finished rook. ben nodded then opened his mouth to say something but was stopped by his stomach growling. "why don't we finished this after some lunch at Mr. smoothies," he suggested. "you know i'm hungry my self and i haven't been to a Mr. smoothies in a long time. lets go my treat," gracy exclaimed. "then i shall drive," added rook. the three walked off to the Max plumbing car and drove off.

"gracy why are you back on earth?" rook asked. gracy took a small sip of her smoothie and gave a yawn, "well my team had just ended the war that was in sector 9 and restoring the piece into the solar system. i then received an order from majester tension to come back here." "so what position where you on your team exactly?" ben asked. "i was the captain of the fleet," gracy replied taking a bite out of her tuna fish sandwich. ben's jaw dropped again. "you know keep doing that and a fly is going to lay eggs in there," gracy scoffed with annoyance. "why did majester tenision order you straight back here?" asked rook trying to get back to the original topic. gracy gave a shrug of her shoulders, "somthing about me being resigned to a new team here." as gracy took another bite of Her sandwich she notice people staring at her. "IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT I WORKED SO HARD ON IT TO GET TO LOOK LIKE THIS. THIS IS SUCH AN HONOR I AM SUCH A BIG FAN," she said loudly and watch everyone go on with their business. "what was that for?" laughed ben. "so people would stop staring and think that theres nothing going on last time i checked plumbers were still a secret here. well except you and blanko." the two boys nod in agreement. "wait why do you call rook blanko?" asked ben realizing she had been calling him that seans he met her. "because thats his first name. on his planet last name goes first. any ways i use his first name to show that we are equals and friends. which is why he calls my gracy," she replied nudging the Revonnahgander. then gracy put two fingers to the side of her head phone and her eyes widen. standing up she whispered, "there has been a jailbreak back at base they need reinforcements." the two boys got to their feet and the three of them rushed to the truck.
