I don't own Ben 10 characters.

''I am not seeing any villains in Bellwood, Ben,'' Rook said. He continued to wander the streets. Rook saw a frown on Ben's face.
''Your smile is upside down, Ben.''

''Villains are always in Bellwood, Rook. We'll probably see the Circus Freaks while they rob a bank. Dr. Animo will mutate one animal and try to defeat us. We have to find villains and defeat them.'' Ben still frowned as he looked ahead. He stopped walking as soon as he viewed Dr. Animo standing near a pet store.

Ben gasped. He viewed Dr. Animo grinning at the pet shop window. His frown came back. *Dr. Animo is going to mutate one of the animals in the pet store. The new pet will try to defeat me* he thought. Ben faced Rook as the latter frowned.

''Dr. Animo is usually with one of his pets,'' Rook said.

Ben saw Dr. Animo another time.

Dr. Animo viewed Rook with Ben while he continued to grin. ''I found you,'' he said to his enemies. He never approached them.
Dr. Animo remained by the pet store.

''Are you going to try to defeat me as usual?'' Ben asked.

Dr. Animo nodded.

''Why are you standing near a pet store?'' Rook asked. He still focused on Dr. Animo.

''I always enjoy being near pet stores. I always liked animals,'' Dr. Animo said to Rook.

''Your pets aren't with you, Dr. Animo. You won't be able to defeat us,'' Ben said. His eyes increased in size the minute Dr. Animo's grin stretched from ear to ear. ''That grin is very creepy, Dr. Animo,'' Ben muttered.

Rook and Ben gasped after many mutated animals appeared.

The animals ran to Ben and Rook before they surrounded them.

''I was never alone. Never assume,'' Dr. Animo said to Ben and Rook.
