Ultimate Alien Force
I: The 10, Part 1
Bellwood, Illinois
"BENJAMIN TENNYSON, WAKE UP! YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!"
Thirteen year-old Ben Tennyson woke up from his bedroom's floor, groaning. He and his friends had made sure that the last day before school started again would be a big one, and in return for their efforts, they had been given detention by a teacher who lived not too far from where they set off the fireworks. So yeah, Ben wasn't looking forward to school.
"Ben! I'M NOT SAYING IT AGAIN! GET OUT, OR I'LL THROW YOU OUT!" his mother yelled.
Fearing his mother's threat, Ben woke up, put on his clothes, brushed his hair, put his black and white shirt and cargo pants with brown shoes and jumped downstairs in front his mom.
"Ready to go!" Ben said, breathing heavily.
"Well get going then. I can't take you." His mom snapped.
"What?"
"Go with Gwen. If you hurry, her dad will be pulling out of the garage."
Ben ran out the door, not bothering to close it. He ran across the street to his cousin's house, hoping Gwen was still there. Before he could knock on the door, it swung in his face, knocking him over the porch and into the roses.
"Hey Ben. Need a ride?"
Ben got up from the roses and looked at his cousin Gwen. She was his age, a bit taller, with short orange hair, wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt and white pants.
"Please?" Ben whined.
Gwen rolled her eyes and nodded. The two waited in the car until Gwen's dad arrived. Once all formalities were out of the way, Gwen's dad started the car and drove them to school.
Bellwood Junior High was like a steak being fought over by dogs. Kids were constantly fighting for different parts of the school, not caring about the methods they got it so long as it was theirs.
"Bye kids, have a good day at school." Gwen's dad yelled.
"Bye Uncle Frank!" Ben said back.
As the car drove off, Gwen and Ben walked up to their little group. There was a twelve-year-old boy with blonde hair with a shirt that had the radiation sign on it. Next to that boy was a fourteen-year-old with short black hair with a yellow jacket on with a bag strapped around his back.
"Johnny, Cole, what's up?" Ben said.
The first boy grinned and gave Ben a high five, while the second boy just nodded.
"Hey Ben, Gwen, how was spring break?" Johnny asked.
"Would be better if we didn't have detention for a week." Ben complained.
"I don't even know how I got caught in that mess." Gwen snapped.
"No one said you had to come."
"Well, I was bored, so I needed to kill time."
Cole could see that an argument was about to start, so he intervened.
"You guys ready for that field trip to that lab?" he asked.
"Nexos? That's where my sisters' used to work." Johnny said.
Johnny's sisters Susan ad Mary were a twin pair of scientists who got a job at the huge technology corporation when they were sixteen. Since then, they'd gone off to make bigger and better things.
"That's today?" Ben yelled.
"Leave right after the bell." Cole spoke.
"So Ben, gonna try to sit next to Kari, or you gonna take a seat next to Julie on the bus ride?" Johnny teased.
"Yeah right, like he's got a chance with either." A voice sneered.
Ben looked up. Behind Johnny was a tall kid with dark skin and black hair, grinning at him sinisterly.
"What do you want, Cash?" Gwen snapped.
"Just here to let Tennyson know that neither of those girls will go for a skinny wimp like him."
"Right, they'll definitely go for a muscle bound idiot like yourself." Johnny said sarcastically.
Cash grabbed Johnny by the shirt, their faces inches from each other.
"You got something to say, Test?" Cash whispered.
"Leave him alone, Cash." Cole threatened.
Cole brandished a knife from his sleeve, aiming it at Cash's lower back.
"You wouldn't." Cash whispered.
"I'm an innocent kid with a medical condition. You've gotten into lots of trouble. Who do you think they'll believe." Cole snapped.
Cash thought for a moment, then set Johnny down gently before leaving, muttering to himself. Gwen, Ben, and Johnny looked at Cole. He had the knife out in the open, and was bending the blade back and forth.
"Rubber knife?" Gwen questioned.
"I thought it'd be funny." Cole smirked.
The bell rang, and the kids went to their different classrooms. The eighth graders would be going on a field trip in twenty minutes, and soon be gone for seven and a half hours.
This is going to be an interesting trip, Ben thought to himself.
NEXT: OMNITRIX
Well, that's part uno of Ultimate Alien Force. Points to anyone who can guess who Johnny, Cole, and Kari are. I'm hoping that you'll like it, and I've got a lot of ideas for this. I won't lie; this is partly inspired by Ultimate Danny Phantom by Grumbles (and dude, if you're reading this, my offer still stands.) Anyway read and review, the usual, and GO SEE THE DARK KNIGHT! It's amazing. Only precaution: don't take your younger sibling or child, because it is violent.
