Just so people know I'm busy fixing the first chapters a little before the new chapter later
18 year old Ben Tennyson sat on his couch watching the news, it was seven o'clock at night and it had been raining the whole day so he was stuck inside. Once again he listened to the news reporter tell the world of Ben's latest Alien fights, not that he'd complain, but now that the world knew who he was, he felt like he lost some of the excitement that came with his heroism, like he misplaced a part of who he is.
His parents weren't going to be home tonight, which meant he could do anything he wanted, but what? What did he feel like doing, he could call Gwen and Kevin to hang out, but he knew they where too busy with ... stuff. He glanced at the Ultimatrix, he could turn into Jetray and fly around looking for crime. He glanced out the window, but what kind of big flashy criminal would go out on a rainy day like this. He let out a dramatic sigh and slouched more into his seat, man this sucked, he thought. Hopefully something interesting would happen soon enough.
Tap, Tap, Tap, Tap...
Jhon Petersons shoes echoed down the hallway as he sprinted for his dear life. Occasionally glancing behind to see if he was being pursued. Skidding around the next corner he saw the stairway to the bridge, emthank god. He sprinted skipping a few steps and found himself typing in random codes into the bridges security system,"Dammnit!", he yelled as his codes continued to beep and blink red in failure.
A horrific scream echoed through the ship, Jhon spun his head 'round and listened to the screams fade away and replaced with a horrible screeching sound, a sound belonging to a creature that will haunt him in his dreams. He looked up to the camera and began to yell, "Hey open up! I need to get in here!", the camera moved slightly, confirming life behind the door, and a moment later the door hissed open and Jhon ran in when it was just barely open enough for him fit through, the door immediately hissed closed and it beeped to signal it locked successfully.
"Captain!", Jhon yelled as he knelt and took in several deep breaths. When he looked up there where only two officers, staring at him with grim looks.
"dead", one of the officer stated, "number six isn't the only one that escaped"
Jhon pinched the bridge of hi nose, a shiver ran through his body, "this can't be happening...", he took a long deep breath, "...are communications still up", he asked in a calmer tone looking back up at them.
They looked at each other then replied, "comms are still up but signal's weak, we've been trying to contact anyone-"
"have you tried the plumbers"
"not yet, like I said signal's-"
"outta my way!", he exclaimed pushing his way through to the communications panel, he pushed several buttons until the screen turned blue, "to anyone listening to this, you need to destroy the Vallhala…"
Ben fell asleep halfway through the news, he did more thinking than watching so he eventually tired himself out. He woke up to the morning sun shining down on his face, he grunted in discomfort and turned away, as he re-positioned himself he fell off the couch and hit his head with a loud thud.
"aww shii-", Ben stopped himself from swearing, even though he was eighteen he refused to let himself swear for something as stupid as falling off the couch, falling off the couch?
Ben began to laugh at his own actions, he fell off the couch and should be a bit pissed, but instead it seemed so funny, why wasn't he mad-why should he be mad, it felt good to laugh at his own stupidity, he felt like he was ten year old again.
He looked at the Tv in time to see it was the seven o'clock news, it was a Saturday today, and after a long rainy night the sun was finally out. Ben picked himself up and went to go wash up.
An hour later he was washed and dressed, he walked back down the stairs and had some breakfast, his parents where still out, what could they be doing?em Ohh well/em, thought Ben as he took bites from his cereal. He finished off and headed for the front door, he locked the door behind him and inhaled the fresh morning air.
He pulled his sleeve back to reveal the ultimatrix. A green flash later he was replaced with a red alien with wings,"Jetray!", he took off into the morning sky with lightening speed, the wind felt so good against his alien skin, it reminds him what his other aliens feel when they where in their essence, what they lived for, like Ripjaws in water, it really was something amazing.
That made him wonder, was there an alien that no one knew about. What if there where many Aliens still out there waiting to be discovered, what would they look like, how do they feel, see, touch, smell, how are they different from his other aliens, all his aliens differ and share some skills and features. How do they think, a rather dark thought entered his head, what if there was an alien that was like Ghostfreak, or an alien that made him think differently-Beep, Beep, Beep.
He was cut from his thoughts as his phone started ringing, he flew to the ground and changed back into Ben, he dug in his pocket to find his phone, he pulled it out and answered it,"hello?"
"Ben, it's me", came a familiar voice from the other side of the phone.
"Grandpa!", Ben exclaimed in excitement, "whats up?", he asked walking along the side of the road.
"I'm coming into town, got a pretty urgent call from the plumbers, thought I'd come pick you up for a mission"
"sure, what time will you be arriving?", Just as he asked that, a familiar RV pulled up next to him and his Grandpa opened the door.
"now", he said before putting his phone away,"how are you Ben", Max greeted with his usual smile.
"great to see you", he said before entering the RV.
