1. Chapter 1

Ben sighed loudly as he took a sip of his banana and spinach smoothie. This earned a small growl from Kevin. He rolled over and sat up on the bench at Mr. Smoothies, sighing loudly again. It was a warm and sunny day, and now that it was summer, Gwen and Kevin were back from college. Ben was excited at first. He was looking forward to old times – hanging out and fighting aliens together. Except now there was Rook, but he was cool – sometimes.

But lately it had been quiet. There had been a few stray bad guys here and there, nothing too exciting. Ben sat up and sighed – again.
"Tennyson I swear to you, do that again and I'll break your arm." Kevin threatened.
"Sorry." Ben mumbled, taking another sip of his smoothie. It was quiet, save for the passing car or two. Ben finished his smoothie, sucking out the last it with a loud 'SLUUUURRRP' and a satisfied "ah."

He opened the lid and peeked inside. Seeing that there was nothing left he placed the cup down and sighed disappointedly.
"That's it Tennyson, I warned ya'!" Kevin yelled, absorbing the metal from the table, and tackling Ben to the ground.

"Should we not try and stop them?" Rook asked, confused as to why Gwen wasn't trying to break up the fight as she usually did. Gwen blew a stray strand of hair away from her face and sipped her smoothie.
"Nah," she answered loudly so to be heard over the sounds of the fight. "As long as they don't cause any major property damage. We could use the entertainment," she finished, taking another sip of her smoothie.

Rook nodded and turned back to his own smoothie. It had been quiet lately, a bit too quiet for his liking. He had a feeling that it was just – what was the expression, the silence before the hurricane? He sipped his beverage and shrugged, turning his attention back to the fight just in time to see Ben trying to reach his Omnitrix.

Unbeknownst to any of them, they were being watched by an elderly gentleman with silver hair and piercing yet gentle gray eyes. The man chuckled at the young ones, particularly the metal boy chasing the brown haired boy with the toxic green eyes, who seemed to be running as if his life depended on it, while at the same time reaching for the dial on his watch known as the Omnitrix. His chuckles ceased as he thought of the troubles the young ones were soon to encounter. As the man walked away, there was a bright flash of green light and a loud, deep voice shouted something that sounded strangely like, "HUMOUNGASAUR!"
