A/N: Here's the next chapter.
Chapter II
It has been a month since Julie arrived on Petropia. Tetrax had agreed to help her train with her alien forms. She also helps him with galactic law enforcement.
"What do you plan to do when you're done here?" Tetrax asked.
"I'll find the 'Galactic Enforcers'. I'm sure training with them would make me stronger."
"You're really devoted to this aren't you?"
"…I know heroes aren't supposed to do the whole revenge thing. But if I ever see Vilgax again while I have the Ultimatrix, I'll kill him."
Tetrax was surprised at her coldness. Ben had told him of Julie, that she was the most kind hearted person he'd ever met. What happened to Ben had changed her in the blink of an eye. She was still kind hearted, but could be ice cold.
Suddenly the Ultimatrix started beeping. A hologram appeared on it, an all too familiar hologram. "Octagon?"
"Julie? This is unexpected. Look, me and Rhomboid were in the area, there's an Incursion ship headed toward Petropia. We're on our way to be of assistance. See you shortly." And the hologram vanished. She turned to Tetrax, "Incursions."
"Then we should set up this planet's defenses immediately."
"Might not have to." Julie said, looking at the Ultimatrix, "Ben told me about a time he beat up everyone on an Incursion war ship with one alien."
"Which one?"
"An Appoplexian."
"That might actually work."
True to their word, Octagon and Rhomboid (A.K.A. Boid) arrived in a Plumber ship with Plumber armor. Octagon looked at Julie's wrist and then said, "We heard rumors that the Omnitrix had switched owners."
"You heard right. How's your Ma?" Julie asked.
"Mom's still in jail right now." Boid said, "Don't worry we won't bust her out."
"Good. Stay here, me, and Tetrax are going try to talk some sense into the Incursions."
"How?"
"By speaking Appoplexian."
"Incursion ship, come in!" Ship had turned into his ship form and they were trying to talk to the Incursions.
"This is Incursion commander Marcellus."
"This is Tetrax Shard. Are you planning to attack Petropia?"
"Yeah we are."
"Turn back…NOW!"
"Sorry, can't do that."
Tetrax looked at Julie and nodded.
Julie hit then Ultimatrix and went Rath, "Let me tell ya something Incursion commander Marcellus, Rath has a better idea. I'm coming over!"
Commander Marcellus watched as the Appoplexian disappeared. Then he heard a bunch of crashes and yells on the other side of his door. When he looked out he saw all his men floating. Then an intangible Big Chill flew in and changed to Rath. "Alright Incursion commander Marcellus, this can two ways, you can leave, or I can hurt you. P.S. you lie to me, and I grind this ship into dust along with you!"
"Alright, alright! I surrender!"
""You believe him?" Tetrax asked.
"No, 3…2…1…"
The Incursions began firing on them.
"I warned him, shoot me out of the air lock." Julie said, going Rath.
Tetrax watched, awed, and scared as Julie tore the ship apart single handed.
"I hate Incursions." Julie said as Tetrax bandaged her laser burns.
"Maybe you shouldn't be so reckless." Tetrax said.
"I'm not, Rath is."
Tetrax simply chuckled.
"I'm not sure if that was exactly Plumber regulation." Octagon said.
"Who cares? They're Incursions if I didn't they would have attacked Petropia."
"She's got a point Octagon." Boid said.
"Perhaps…there was another reason we came, Gwen has asked us to see how you were."
"As you can plainly see, I'm fine!"
"I beg to differ." Said a red headed Anodite
"Gwen?"
"What's happening to you Julie? You're not like this."
A very cold expression was on Julie's face, "I am now."
"What happened to you?"
"What happened to me? What. Happened. TO ME? The person I love above all else was almost murdered before my eyes! I was helpless to save him! And you ask what happened to me!?" Julie turned into Jetray and flew off.
"I think you can understand how she's feeling." Tetrax said.
"But I can't."
"You can't? Think about how Ben acted when he thought Max was dead. While one loves their family greatly, love for a spouse, or a potential spouse is often much greater. How would you react if Kevin was in a coma?"
She hated to admit it, but he was right.
Julie sat on one of Petropia's moons, seething. How dare she lecture me! How can she possibly understand? What gives her the right!?
Julie looked at her wrist and the Ultimatrix. All this happened because of this damn thing! A prototype fell from the sky 6 years ago and attached itself to my future boyfriends' wrist then he went and got this one and it almost got him killed!...Because the universe needs a hero with this kind of power.
A revelation had hit her then, and maybe there was some truth in her words. So she went back to apologize.
Jetray landed next to Gwen and Tetrax and changed back.
"I owe you an apology Gwen, there was some truth to what you said."
Gwen smiled, "You didn't let me finish either you see, I have good news. Ben said he wanted you just the way you were before this happened."
"Ben? You mean?" Julie asked hopeful.
"He woke up last week. He's been asking for you."
Julie looked away, "Tell him I'm sorry, but I can't return to earth just yet. There's still more I can do. But I'll be back in four months' time, I promise."
"Four months!?" Ben didn't sound happy.
"Ben! That anxiety is bad for your condition."
"Someone get me out of this! I have to talk to her!"
"Ben! Calm down! According to what the doctors told me it'll be worth the wait. By then you'll at least be out of the capsule, then instead of talking you can actually kiss her."
Ben let a small smile appear, "She better be here."
A/N: I apologize for the short chapter.
