Kevin E. Levin sighed and looked in the passenger seat of his car. Sure enough she was still there as silent as the dead staring out his window. His half sister and sure enough she had Alien powers too. She'd just started showing them and Kevin's mother had ended up a little freaked his step-dad had been the one to request that he train her. He really didn't even know her. They had lived together in the same house for about a year now but they hadn't really talked. He hadn't noticed that she was exhibiting powers and was kicking himself for it. He sped along eyes back on the road.
"Where are we going?" Kelly asked glancing at her older brother.
"The Tennysons." Kevin replied, "If anyone can help you it's them." he cursed himself as she stared into her lap. "I mean I'll still help you too but they have alien blood in them too and can seriously help out."
"Alien?" Kelly wondered. "Is that what I am?"
"What we are." Kevin corrected. "and no we just have alien blood in us. Probably either dormant in our fathers or from mom since we both got powers. Normally how it works." He shrugged. "Gwen, my girl, she's an Anodite because of her grandmother but no one else in the family got Anodite powers not even Ben. Don't worry we'll be in safe hands."
Kelly nodded and tucked black hair behind her ear. Her black hair reached her shoulders. She had dark eyes to match Kevin's. But she was built softer. She was tall like her brother and thin very thin. She'd been doing modeling since she was small and was actually very popular. Though she was quiet, sometimes introvert, and had little to no self-confidence. In other words she was almost the complete opposite of her brother. Kelly wore a black spaghetti strap belly shirt that was tight and emphasized her rather small chest and a black mini skirt, with black shorts underneath, she wore black boots, and black leather fingerless gloves.
They pulled in to a Mr. Smoothie and parked. They both got out no one was here. Which was odd seeing it was a Saturday afternoon. Kevin looked at his watch as he lead her to the building and ordered for them and then cursed himself as he paid he didn't know what kind of smoothie his little sister liked. But she took it thanked him and they sat down.
"The Tennysons will meet us here." Kevin said, looking at his watch again.
It wasn't long before a black sports car with green stripes pulled out and Ben and Gwen Tennyson got out. They ordered drinks, paid and came and sat with them.
"Okay, Kevin what's all this about?" Gwen asked. "Oh, hello I'm..."
"Gwen Tennyson." Kelly said softly. "Your big brothers girlfriend."
Gwen glared at Kevin who smirked at her.
"I'm Ben Tennyson." Ben said, staring at Kelly in awe. He reached out his hand to shake hers. "Nice to meet you..."
"This is my half sister Kelly Levin." Kevin said, hitting Ben's hand away from her. He took a drink of his smoothie. "She's got powers and my step-dad wants me to teach her to control them. Naturally I thought of you two."
He flashed Gwen another smile.
"What kind of powers do you have?" Ben wondered, watching Kelly drink her smoothie. He noted that she wouldn't look at them.
" I can see screens. The Power itself is called Gamer." Kelly said in a soft voice as she stood up. She pulled a card out of nowhere. They all saw a glowing blue sword on it. She sent a blue spark of mana into the card and was holding the sword in her hand. "Three days ago, on 15th birthday I woke with this Gamer power. I had two cards in the inventory. This sword and a spell card called Heal. " The sword was surrounded in blue mana and was sparking with it at times. "there was no explanation. Kevin and dad got hurt working on Kevin's car and without thinking I used the Heal card to heal them. Mama and daddy probably hate me now."
"They don't hate me and I've got powers." Kevin replied. "Besides, if you hadn't stepped in I could have lost my finger back there."
It was his way of trying to comfort her. He knew it probably wasn't working.
"First time I've seen this sword though." Kevin said, "Looks cool. I've never heard of a race with powers like this." He looked at the Tennysons. "You?"
"No." Ben and Gwen replied, shaking their heads. "Lets, call grandpa."
Kevin's mind was reeling as he hesitantly set his hand on his sister's shoulder. She looked up at him with guarded eyes. He hated that she thought she had to hide her emotions from him.
"Ethereal." Ben said, frowning as he drank his smoothie. "but if you two are full siblings then why isn't Kelly showing an Osmosian power as well? The dad you mentioned is/was an Osmosian wasn't he?"
"Yeah." Kevin nodded, "Never met him but mom told me he was and I don't know." He frowned.
"What I'm concerned with was the fact that your mother must have a latent Ethereal gene in her." Gwen said, sitting back in her chair. "how else could Kelly have gotten her powers? She could be full Ethereal of course but then why isn't she registered?"
"Grandpa Max did say that Ethereals are an endangered species as far as we know." Ben reminded her.
"Max also said, that Kelly is in trouble now that her powers have awaken." Kevin cut in. "She's not safe without proper training but how do we train an Ethereal."
"I'm sorry I'm causing so much trouble." Kelly mumbled.
"You're not!" Kevin stated firmly. "Don't ever say that, Kelly, you're no trouble."
Gwen and Ben were both shocked by Kevin's attitude toward his sister and in general this wasn't the Kevin they knew. But they both liked this Kevin much better.
"I say we go ask your mom." Ben said, standing. "Gwen and I will follow you in my car."
Kevin nodded to Ben.
When they arrived Mrs. Levin and Harvey Hackett were arguing.
"Go stand with Ben and Gwen." Kevin ordered as they all got out of the car. Kelly fled to Ben's side and clung to his arm. Making Ben blush Kelly was blushing too. Ben readied his Omnitrix in case he needed to protect her. He absently noticed that they were the same height. Gwen's hands were almost glowing in Mana. They all watched Kevin touch his green car and his body change to match the metal. "I'm goin to say this once, Harvey." Kevin stated walking towards them. "Step away from my mother or get hurt."
"Kevin." Mrs. Levin said, eyes shaking. Her eyes landed on Kelly as she moved away from Harvey. "Don't hurt him, I don't want you to end up in jail."
Kevin scoffed. His eyes on Harvey.
"Once chance to explain what's going on. I saw you hit my mom." Kevin growled. "Have you been hittin my sister too? That why she acts like she does?"
Mrs. Levin started. She hadn't known that but the way Kelly refused to look at them and stayed close to those two teens Kelly was with. She was furiious.
"This has nothing to do with you son." Harvey said, as calmly as he could. "Just calm down."
"I'm not your son." Kevin snapped. "and you hit my mother and sister. It has everything to do with me."
"Kevin, don't loose control." Gwen called. "I'd hate to have to take you down when you've been so good today."
Kevin tossed her a nod as she moved Mrs. Levin over to Ben. He took a few calming breathes.
"You'd better leave." Kevin said, to Harvey, as he made his body return to normal. "Leave now and don't come back. "
"Son." Harvey tried.
"Leave!" Kevin yelled.
Harvey left and everyone relaxed. Ben lowered his arm with Omnitrix and relaxed. It was clear to him that she was shocked that her warning had gotten through to Kevin and he'd actually calmed down. Kevin walked over to them and sighed.
"I shouldn't have used my powers." He sighed to his mother. "But he pissed me off. "
"It's okay, dear." Mrs. Levin said with a smile and hugged him. " Thank you so much. Now you and your friends come inside. You must be Gwen and Ben Tennyson. Kevin's told me all about you."
To say that Ben and Gwen were shocked was an understatement. But Gwen enjoyed seeing Kevin blush.
Kevin, Kelly, Ben and Gwen sat sipping soda in the living room with Mrs. Levin.
"Yes." Mrs. Levin sighed. "You and Kelly are full siblings." Kevin smirked and messed up his sisters hair. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you two sooner..."
Gwen's phone began ringing.
"Excuse me." She picked it up and Max's voice came screaming out of it.
"An Alien is attacking Ken!" Max yelled. "We're deploying a Plumber unit but you four are much closer!"
"Three, old man!" Kevin snapped, "I'll help out because Gwen and Ben are doing me a solid helping me train Kelly but she's not getting involved in this."
"That's fine just move!" Max replied.
"Excuse us ." Gwen said, getting up. "My brother needs our help."
Mrs. Levin smiled at them.
"All of you please be careful."
Kelly followed Kevin into his car. Kevin let out a sigh of defeat and threw the car into gear speeding off after Ben's car.
"I wanna help." Kelly mumbled, "I want to be strong like you, Kev."
"I aint strong." Kevin replied. "I'm scared to use my powers." Kelly looked at him with wide eyes. "I could loose control and go insane at any moment using them so I have to be really careful. But I get so angry sometimes that I forget. If Gwen hadn't stopped me today I might have done something I would have regretted."
Kelly sat thinking for a minute then wished that there was some way that she could help her brother control his powers. That's all she wanted right now was a way to help.
You can form a Party.
Say form Party, name it, Invite people.
Quick, Simple, Easy.
"My power responded to my thought." Kelly gasped. "Okay, form Party." Kevin glanced at her. "What should I name it?"
"Ethereal Osmodite 1." Kevin supplied. Kelly shot him a frown. "Ethereal for you. Osmosian for me. Anodite for Gwen, and 1 for Tennyson he's always wearin that 1 on his shirt."
Kelly blinked that made since and she had planned on adding the other two if they were to work together.
"Name: Ethereal Osmodite 1." She nodded and pressed yes to accept the name. "Invite Kevin E. Levin. Invite Ben Tennyson. Invite Gwen Tennyson."
Kelly almost regretted her decision when both Kevin and Ben almost lost control of their cars. Both quickly got them back under control.
"I say yes?" Kevin asked and Kelly nodded. He pressed yes.
Kevin E. Levin has joined your team
Ben Tennyson has joined your team
Gwen Tennyson has joined your team
They sped into a park and quickly parked and then were running.
"Who named this party?" Gwen wondered as they ran toward the noise and chaos.
"I did." Kevin replied. "Shoulda powered up first."
They had stopped dead at the sight of a human looking man with red streaks in his hair and a destroyed stage in the middle of the park. Gwen through her hands out and an older teen with red hair flew towards them surrounded in purple light. The man landed safely but looked at her in shock.
"Now is not the time to explain, Ken." Gwen said. "Ben."
Ben nodded, and activated the Omnitrix.
"That's an Ethereal." Kelly cried giving Kevin a metal chair she'd found. Kevin absorbed the metal and changed to copy it. "I summon...SWORD!" She tossed her card and caught her sword.
"HEATBLAST!"
Ben had transformed.
"Okay." Gwen nodded. "Everyone's ready?"
"LOOK OUT!" Ken yelled.
A shield shot up around the five of them in a fraction of second as bolts of electricity rained down of them. Gwen's hands were up.
"So red hair doesn't equal fire?" Ben asked, "I was betting it did that's why I went with Heatblast."
"Oddly that logic made sense, Tennyson." Kevin sighed. "Any idea how those cards of yours work?"
"He didn't use one!" Kelly cried.
"I don't need to." The man laughed as Gwen's shield crumbled and yet he quit attacking. "I'm a fully trained Ethereal you on the other hand are not, Princess."
"Princess?" Ben, Gwen, Kevin and Kelly asked.
"Yes, the only remaining heir to the Ethereal thrown and I have come to collect her."
"Over my dead body!" Kevin yelled, "I'm not letting you lay a hand on my sister!"
"You hardly stand a chance." The Ethereal laughed. Firing of a ray of electricity right at Gwen.
Kevin moved in front of her and absorbed it with a flinch. Kelly's eyes got big. He was scared to do that yet he would for Gwen. He must love her as much as he'd said he did.
Heatblast released a Flamethrower attack at the man. Gwen began firing diskes of mana at the man.
The attack came to Kelly as clear as day as she slashed her sword.
"BLADES OF LIFE!"
She screamed. Blades of golden energy shot out of her sword as she slashed and combined with the other attacks. There was a loud explosion.
"HEAL: KEVIN!"
The blades hit and energy life energy flew from the man into Kevin whose armor was failing and he was bleeding. That was a backlash of energy and everything went black.
