Chapter 1 Announcer: Next Stop, Bellwood

The announcer in the bus spoke as each individual listened on. One certain individual was glad to be home, so he could see his Mom's family and he wondered how big his little rascal of a cousin had grown. This certain individual in thought had blonde spiky hair and bright blue eyes. He wore a red long-sleeve button-less hood with black stripes at the side of each arm going from its shoulder to its wrist. He was wearing black trousers and a pair of black and white sneakers. For accessories, he had a noise canceller head-phones and a unique kind of watch on his wrist. This was Frank G Mallque and he was currently listening to music as he thought about the events that lead him here.

He thought back to the past four months of his life from how he saved his future adoptive guardian from a hostage situation to how the tearful good-bye he received from his real family.

Flashback 4 years ago

As XLR8, Frank was running across the continent with one destination in mind as per recommendations, Bellwood and as he got there, it was mid-day and apparently something interesting was happening in the news from what he saw on the display T.V's.

"On other news, police still haven't made leeway at the hostage situation in Bellwood National Bank, it appears that the bands are armed to their teeth as any wrong move would force drastic measures to be taken on their prisoners." The reporter announced.

Frank got a look at what the bank looked like. He knew it would be wrong to leave the people to their devices so he dashed to an alley nearby and in a flash of green light, he revealed his normal form coming out from it. He looked to the right and saw a passerby and asked kindly.

"Excuse me ma'am, I'm new here and I was wondering if you could pint me to the nearest bank." Frank said and the lady smiled at how this young boy was polite and couldn't help but ask,

"Aren't you a little young to be walking all alone in a bank?"

Frank scratched his head in embracement "My parents and I were going for a tour of the town and I happened to separate from them a few minutes ago but before the separation, we were heading to the bank as the next stop." Frank lied casually.

The female scowled "What type of parents leave their child unattended for?" she muttered.

"Apparently, the parents that tend to be easily distracted." Frank replied.

The woman smiled and pointed "Just around the corner two blocks away." She said.

Frank waved his thanks but had a pressed face "Gotta go!" he then rushed to the nearest bath room running as if he needed to pee but that was just a cover for his real plan. He had used the Omnitrix a lot today so this had to be short and quick or it would just deactivate on its own.

"Should have just accessed the master control." Frank muttered and as he pressed the dials on the watch, a circular 2 dimensional hologram with a play list of aliens appeared once the faceplate was moved. Frank slid the images to the side and picked the alien he wanted and slammed it down.

In a flash of green light, an annoyed Frank spoke to the dial on his chest in a wrestler-like tone "Let me tell you something Omnitrix, next time you choose the alien rath wants or rath will destroy You!" yes, Frank wasn't the speedy alien he wanted, no, he was instead a 9 feet tall orange and white bipedal tiger with one claw coming out of each wrist and no tail. He is also muscular and has green eyes.

Wrath then pressed the dial on his chest and in the same green light, gone was Rath and in its place, XLR8 who nodded in appreciation "Much better." He said and in a burst of speed, he left the washroom he was in and hurried to the bank.

With the Police

"Any confirmation on that back up private?" Police officer 1 asked.

"None at the moment chief, we're on our-"the private was interrupted when the wind blew and looked around to find the cause.

"What in god's name was that?" The chief asked.

"I don't know chief…" The private said as they held their positions once again.

In the bank

Scattered in a group around the center of the room were civilians and bankers of every kind. Today was just a normal day for these citizens until about a dozen armed robbers came to steal their money. Right now, they're demanding for ransom from the police and as what looked like the leader of the thugs was about to speak, he suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of the chief of police, arm less and tied up ready for capture. The leader looked around and saw he was outside the bank, "What just happened?" He asked but was hit with a Taser before he could continue talking.

"That's one down." The chief said.

"What do you think happened?" An officer asked.

"Back up." The chief replied as he saw the other 8 bandits packed up and ready for court.

Meanwhile in the bank, the last thug was looking around wildly before he spotted a blond green-eyed female discreetly trying to leave while he was distracted. The thug made his way to her and pulled her hair pointing the gun at her face.

"You see this?" The thug asked seemingly nobody "Unless you want this blonde's blood on your hands, you have until the count of three to come out and surrender." He looked around and saw nobody as he was still holding the female then he started "1… 2… 2(½), 2(3/4) 3." But as he pulled the trigger, he felt nothing on his hand and looked to see the scared blonde and an empty hand. Then he asked the blonde "What happened?"

"I did." Replied a voice and they all turned to see a cat-like humanoid creature holding the gun before he crushed it into dust.

"What the hell are you freak?!" the thug asked as he backed away dropping the blonde in fear.

"Your worst nightmare." Frank said before appearing in front of the thug "I hate it when guys like you threaten beautiful ladies like her." He then punched the thug knocking him out before using his belt to tie him up leaving him for the police.

Frank walked to the blonde and undid her gags "What's your name miss?" he asked.

"Sandra…" The female replied feeling safe around him. Then all of a sudden, there was a sound of slow beeping and they looked to his chest seeing the dial on his chest flash red he had to act now in one last act of heroism.

"Care to direct me to your house as I take you there, I'm sure your family must be worried." Before Sandra had the decency to answer, she was picked up bridal style much to her shock then the world became a blur to her.

Flashback end

Turns out he saved Sandra Tennyson who gladly took care of him as he passed out after the timer on the Omnitrix ran out because of over exhaustion. He met her husband and when they asked about his why he was there and not with parents, he told them the modern version of his life because he felt like he could trust them. When they heard the jest of it, they were appalled at how a Person would treat this child because of something he didn't have if it was them, they would treat all children fairly.

It was then that a decision was made concerning Frank. Since he was alone, they would raise them as their own if he agreed to it, something he accepted graciously. Since then, he met the other member of the family, his new little cousin, Ben who was excited to have an older brother. He kept his watch secret to live a normal live for now until he is ready to continue his journey. Since then, his life was better and a lot more comfortable in a place where he would like to call home. That was until two years later when he got into college on scholarship, something his adoptive parents were proud of and sad that he had to go but he did promise that he'll be back and they held on to it. He hated to see Ben cry so he promised something to his brother and with that, he left.

That was two years ago making four years in total now he was back after completing a two year program in advanced mechanics and a few electives and he was happy he would see his family. He got down from the bus and thanked the bus driver before he picked up his bike from the front of the bus and got on it and rode to his house.

It was good to be home.

In Bellwood High

RING

Students were running home from school at the sound of the bell signaling the start of summer vacation but that wasn't the immediate plan for two bullies in the school. They decided to torment someone before they got home and they cornered a defenseless boy in the corner.

"Lookie here Cash little hotshot here decided that he could run home without saying goodbye to his two best friends." The taller one looked to his partner, Cash who smirked.

"Let's show him how much we'll miss him JT" Cash said to his partner JT with his fist meeting his hands as they both crept to the defenseless boy.

"Hey leave him alone!" shouted a voice from behind them and they turned around to see the resident looser, Ben Tennyson who unknown to them was acting the part of the loser due to an advice his big brother gave him years ago.

If you have the skills, don't hesitate to show them but mess with your enemies first, deceive them till the point they believe you to be nothing then strike with a vengeance when ready – his brother said to him during one of his teachings.

Ben Tennyson was a 10 year old boy with brown hair and green eyes. He wore a white round neck tee-shirt shirt that had a thick black vertical stripe in the middle of the shirt starting from its neck to the waist. He had on a pair of green cameo baggy trousers and a pair of white and black striped sneakers. He was looking at the bullies with a look of anger ready to trash them as he took his fighting stance, the one of the Go-ken.

"Look Cash, Bruce Lee Jr. thinks he can beat us." JT laughed at his taunt.

"Why don't we have some fun with him and show him tot to mess with his betters?" Cash asked as they both stalked Ben forgetting about the boy they were tormenting. Ben smirked as they both charged him.

Moments later

"Hey! Get us down!" JT yelled from a tree to Ben who was laughing at the bully that was hanging on his underwear with his partner. Ben just walked over to the boy who they were bullying and helped him up. The kid thanked him for his help.

"You're welcome." Ben said.

"How did you learn how to move like that?" the boy asked.

"I thought him." A voice spoke from behind them making Ben scratch his head in fear at who he knew was behind him. Until he felt a hand on his head and what was said after hade him blush in embracement "But you did good lil bro."

Ben looked up and saw his big brother smiling at him with his eyes closed. He scratched his cheek and waved off his brother's hand from him "Stop that, you're embarrassing me." He said to his brother who shrugged.

"That's what big brothers are for." Frank said and reached into his back pulling out a black and green skateboard handing it to Ben who looked excited at his board.

"Wow, Awesome!" Ben exclaimed and followed his brother to his bike and as he got on, they both rode home completely ignoring the bullies' cries for help with smiles on their face.

Later

As they reached home, Ben excitedly got off his board running to greet his parents and tell them the good news.

"Mom, Dad, you won't believe who just picked me up from school." He shouted as he entered the living room seeing his mother there who turned and smiled at him.

"Your big brother?" She asked and seeing Ben's surprised look, she laughed "I was the one that sent him there to pick you up if not, your grandpa would."

"Grandpa's here? I completely forgot about the summer vacation." Ben said then he rushed to his room "Gotta go pack up."

"Don't worry bro, Frank already did that for you, your things are in the R.V" A voice said and Ben turned around to see a fairly overweight man in his late 60's with a keen sense for adventure in the tone of his voice. His Grandpa wore a white shirt, covered by a red button up shirt with a floral design. He has grey hair and blue pants as well as black shoes.

"Grandpa!" Ben greeted and gave his grandfather a hug which he returned before he ran outside to the R.V "This is gonna be so awesome!" Ben said.

Frank sighed at his brother's cheerfulness and walked down from their room with a smile seeing his grandfather, Max who smiled at him.

"Ready to go?" Max asked Frank nodded but before he left, his mother called out.

"Are you going to tell him?" she asked.

Frank scratched his chin in thought of how this was going to happen if it was going to happen. He looked back at his Omnitrix on his wrist and the expectant look on his grandfather's and Aunts face and sighed "I'll tell him tonight." He said creating smiles on both grownups faces.

"Good choice." His aunt said and his grandpa agreed with her.

"Well, we should get going." Max said "Don't want to burn daylight." He walked out of the house and Frank gave his mother a hug before following him.

Outside

"Grandpa, what's taking so long I already have second thoughts on coming along for this vacation because I can't spend another minute with this dweeb here." A female voice shouted as she walked out of the R.V with an annoyed scowl on her face. This female had short red hair held by a blue hair clip and green eyes; she wore a blue shirt with a cat logo on her chest and white capris. She wears a blue hairclip in her bangs. The sighed in relief as she saw her grandfather "Finally, what took you-" she never got to finish as she saw what she thought was the most handsome male in her life.

"Is something wrong?" Max asked as he looked at Gwen who was looking like a love struck teen at seeing Frank behind him. Here he had to suppress a smirk and tapped Frank's shoulder who looked at his grandfather in confusion "Hey, kid, looks like you got a crush." He said to Frank who was confused and looked to where his grandfather was pointing and had to suppress a groan at the love struck girl in front of him.

Frank had foregone his black hood and put on a dark blue round neck shirt under an black long-sleeve jacket that had the collars pointing up wards. He also wore black cameo trousers and still had the same pair of sneakers on with his headphones on his neck connected to an iPod in his pocket. He smiled and walked to the girl in front of him,

"Hi, I'm Frank, Ben's adoptive big brother/cousin. What's your name?" he politely asked.

"Gwen my is nam- I mean, my name is Gwendolyn, my friends call me Gwen." She quickly corrected embarrassed at the mistake she made in front of him. Frank just smiled at how cute that was.

"Can I call you Gwen?" Frank asked.

"You can call me anything you want…" Gwen sighed in a dream like trance but quickly shook her head "I mean sure, you can."

"I think I'm gonna enjoy being friends with you." Frank said before he walked to the R.V and waited patiently for her to enter before he did.

Gwen blushed at the gesture and entered the van thanking Frank before rushing inside quickly. Frank smiled and entered the R.V before shutting the door and minutes later, the R.V left the Tennyson Manor.

8 pm, Camp Site

The R.V was parked in the woods as the tree kids were preparing waiting for what their grandpa had to offer for dinner. Max came out with a bowl of what looked like pasta but once he got closer what they saw disgusted them.

"What the heck is that?" Frank asked disgusted at the dish in front of him.

"Marinated meal worms," Max said "hard to find them fresh in the states; they're considered a delicacy in some countries…"

"And completely grotesque in others." Gwen said disgusted at the amount of worms in front of her but glad to be sitting beside Frank.

"If these don't sound good, I've got some smoke sheep dung in the fridge." Max said.

"Ugh." Ben was disgusted from the other side of the table "Can't we have a burger or something?" he asked his grandpa and Gwen agreed with him but were disappointed when he disagreed.

"Nonsense, this summer's gonna be an adventure for your taste buds." Max said. "I'll grab the tongue." With that, he left to the R.V.

Ben, Gwen and Frank huddled together coming up with a plan "I've got 3 rise crispy bars in my bag, what about you guys?" Frank asked.

"Some rise cakes…" Gwen said.

"Half eaten bag of corn chips." Ben finished and looked to his brother.

"Think it can last?" Frank asked and they all gave a depressed sigh at this.

Meanwhile in the outskirts of space

A smaller transport ship was moving as fast as it could avoiding the beams sent its way y a larger battle ship but one beam hit the ship causing a minor malfunction.

In the battle ship, droids were on the control panel firing the beam at the ship that was holding their current object of interest, the prototype Omnitrix. As the beam hit, a droid looked into the darkness of the ship where their master was residing seeing a pair of red eyes in the shadows. It spoke to its master,

"Their propulsion systems have been hit."

"Prepare to board." Their master said in a raspy voice "I want the Omnitrix now."

Suddenly, they were hit by a beam from the ship below them. Angered, their master ordered a powerful blast sent to the transport ship's way destroying three-quarters of it. You could see a small sparkle as a pod detached from the ship heading to its current destination, earth.

On earth

Ben was on his big brother's computer playing video games while Gwen was browsing. Frank was nowhere to be seen at the moment Max came out asking a question after looking at his grand kids,

"Who wants to roast Marshmallows?"

"Can't, busy." They both replied and Max sighed and walked inside, a bit dejected.

Ben paused his game "I need to go for a walk." And he closed Frank's PC rushing into the woods while Gwen shook her head.

With Ben

Ben was walking in the forest after taking a leak sighing at how boring he thought that this summer was going to be.

"This is starting to turn out to be the worst vacation ever." He said walking with his hands in his pockets until he noticed a spark in the sky "Whoa, a shooting star!" he exclaimed in awe until that awe turned to fright as the star changed its direction heading for him. He gasped in surprise before diving out of the way as the shooting star made contact with the earth causing a minor explosion.

As the explosion died down and Ben recovered, he looked to see a crater and walked to it seeing that it wasn't deep. He spied inside it and saw something glowing red hot steaming from the intense heat.

"Looks like a satellite or something." He said as he saw a spherical object in the crater. He jumped in and the spherical object opened up revealing something inside. The object looked like a very big wristwatch, primarily black and grey in color, with a grey (or black) dial in the middle (like a watch face) which has a green hourglass shape on it. "What's a watch doing in outer space?" Ben asked as he used his left hand to reach for it that is until it opened up and latched on his wrist.

Curious, Ben looked at the watch that latched on his wrist. Though he was surprised at first but he decided that being surprised doesn't get this thing off so he inspected the watch and saw two green dials on each side he pressed them together and an the faceplate rose up and the arrows facing each other shifted revealing an image of a humanoid thing with flaming head. He pushed the image down and in a flash of green light, he was different.

He looked at his hands "I'm on fire, but I don't feel anything." He said and noticed his voice was raspy and deeper "Whoa, my voice changed…" he then scratched his chin in thought "I wonder…" he charged up a fireball and aimed at a branch at the tree in front of him. He fired a perfect shot and smirked. "Sweet!" and in a moment of stupidity, Ben started to launch fireballs ranging from small to medium all over the forest unintentionally creating a forest fire.

Ben noticed this a minute later "Uh-oh," he said worried that the fire will expand reaching the campsite so he tried to put it out the old fashion way without water.

Campsite

While Ben was having his own issues, Gwen was on her computer using her Wi-Fi to check for something. She didn't notice the figure creeping up behind her until he spoke from behind her "How to impress guys..." The figure said in humor and was amused at her reaction "You don't need to go to the net to find out how to impress me."

Gwen blushed and closed her PC turning around to face Frank who had that certain mirth in his eyes, something that made her blush even further "It wasn't for you." She said and she quickly got up picking her computer rushing into the R.V that was until Frank who was looking for his brother noticed something.

"Who's dumb enough to start a forest fire?" he asked then not only did his eyes widen in realization, Gwen's did and they replied at the same time.

"Ben."

"I'll get the fire extinguisher." Frank said and Gwen hurried to drop her PC and followed Frank as he went to search for ben in the woods.

Burning forest

Ben was a nervous wreck when he couldn't put out the fire. His brother would be so disappointed in him when he finds out about this but hearing footsteps behind him, he might as well take the punishment now.

As he turned around, Gwen screamed in fright at the falling being before her whereas Frank stood firm and brave standing in front of Gwen taking the Go-ken stance with a serious expression on his face.

"What are you?" he calmly asked unaware of what the girl behind him was thinking.

He's so brave protecting me from that flaming monster Gwen thought admiration overriding her fear and that admiration was turning into something deeper I wish I could be as brave as him…

"Guys calm down, it's me, Ben!" the creature said and before it knew it, he was sent flying backwards from a roundhouse kick Frank sent to his front and if you saw the look on Frank's face, even the scariest of monsters would be intimidated.

"It's one thing for you to start a forest fire that was intended to harm others," Frank said in a scary tone then out of nowhere, he brought out a pair of silver Nunchaku and started spinning them in an impressive show of skill before ending it with a slam on the ground "It's another to go impersonating my little brother, THAT is something that I cannot take lightly." Frank said then moved to attack the creature unaware of the effect it was having on a certain redhead.

The creature had to think fast because he knew that Frank could beat him if he wanted then he had an idea that froze Frank in his tracks "Those who break the rules are trash, but those that abandon their comrades are worse', you told me that before you started to train me in martial arts and you gave me another advice 'If you have the skills, don't hesitate to show them but mess with your enemies first, deceive them till the point they believe you to be nothing then strike with a vengeance when ready' what makes you think I'm not following it now?"

"Ben?" Frank asked uncertain "What happened?"

Ben went into a tail of what happened minutes prior to his brother and cousin. Gwen was a bit surprised that this happened and that his brother thought him martial arts while Frank was in thought.

"Why don't we get rid of this fire with a counter fire first before we come up with any decision?" Frank suggested and motioned for ben to do his work that he did graciously like an expert already.

Frank was impressed at what he did before he heard beeping and saw the symbol on Ben's chest flash red before it died down and in a flash, Ben was back to normal.

"Hmm, that's some funky watch." Frank said as he inspected the Omnitrix on ben's hand while Gwen agreed with him.

"I'm curious as to how many aliens you could turn into." Gwen mused out interested but heard running and turned behind them to see their grandfather running towards them.

"Will someone please explain to me what happened here?" Max asked after panting a bit and Frank decided to give him the short version of the story.

Outskirts of space

"What do you mean it's not there?" an eerie voice asked in the battle ship from before

"Sensors indicate that a probe was sent to the planet below us just before the ship was evacuated." The droid said to its dismantled master in the tube that was helping him recover from the resent battle. The master looked at two bigger and more battle focused droids.

"One of you go, the other follow 10 minutes later." The master said and the droids obeyed the order and the first one left the ship, its destination, secure the Omnitrix.

Back on earth

"Looks like it's a play list of 10 different aliens each with its own unique abilities." Gwen summarized after inspecting the watch.

"I think the best option is to train in each of these forms so that you can get the hang of each transformation, know their strengths and weaknesses so that if you transform into one you don't want, you can use the current alien to ensure victory." Frank said and Max agreed.

"And I know which alien to pick!" Ben said and without thinking, he pressed the dial on the watch and as the faceplate rose up, he slammed it down and in a flash of green light, gone was Ben and in his place was a huge (the size of a car), orange dog with no eyes, ears, or tail. His teeth are very defined and stick out of his mouth.

"Roar!" Ben said confused that he lost his ability to speak.

Gwen was in front of his dog form and waved her arms in its face and deduced out the obvious "looks like it has no eyes."

Frank picked a stick ready to test its other reflexes and was impressed at its ability to sense the attack coming "But it has other senses."

Ben was excited and decided to test run this alien by moving deeper into the forest ignoring protests sent his way. He was so distracted, he didn't notice the UFO above him until he heard the beeping and sensed a laser being shot his way. He jumped to another three hanging off it looking for what caused the damage and he saw a strange looking robot shaped like a flying saucer with hands and legs looking down at him before it fired. Ben was evading all its shots and hid from the robots sight as it was searching for where Ben might be but it was taken by surprise when Ben jumped at him and ripped off its head and before ben could go further, the Omnitrix symbol on his shoulder was beeping red so he jumped off the robot as it was heading for a collision course to a wall.

Ben was back to normal as he landed and he inspected the explosion giving it a 10 out of 10 that was until he heard beeping and saw another robot floating above him.

"Uh-oh." He said that was until its head was kicked off by his big brother who landed and whacked his head.

"Don't do that next time!" Frank yelled at ben.

"Ouch! I'm sorry alright, I won't run off like that." Ben said rubbing his hurt head.

Later

"We shouldn't fool around with that thing until we know what it is." Max said "What you did was reckless Ben."

"Sorry grandpa." A humbled Ben said.

"About the watch, I think there's a function in it that lets you stay transformed into the aliens you pick." Frank mused.

"That would be so cool, then I wouldn't have to worry about the time out when saving lives." Ben exclaimed much to the annoyance of Gwen.

"We haven't decided what to do with it yet apart from getting familiar with the aliens doofus, so don't get your hopes up." Gwen said.

Radio: Mayday, mayday somebody help us! I think were being attacked by some sort of robot.

"Looks like the decision on whether we want to help people changed just now." Frank said and they left the R.V to see help the civilians.

Ben reached the danger zone and pressed the dial on the Omnitrix selecting the alien he wanted. He smacked the faceplate down and in a flash of green light, Diamond Head was in his place.

They then saw the robot attacking "I'll get its attention, you guys get the campers to safety." Ben said and they agreed not before Frank wished his brother good luck.

As they left, ben rushed head first as Diamond Head to the robot and punched it making it stumble a bit. The battle droid saw ben and scanned his whole person spotting the Omnitrix symbol on his chest then it fired a beam from his hand at him sending ben flying back a bit.

Ben got up from the wreckage by slicing his way out and he looked at his hand "Cool." He said then he rushed at the robot trying to give it a punch but it jumped avoiding the blow attempting to land on ben but ben saw this coming and he back flipped out of the way. Ben then got into his Go-ken stance and gave the droid a come hither motion forcing it to shoot a beam at him. Ben ducked the beam redirecting it to a tree causing it to fall directly on an unsuspecting Gwen if Frank wasn't there to break the three in half with a kick.

Frank looked at Gwen who was shocked and cupped her cheek "Are you okay?" he asked her. Gwen just nodded in response before Frank took her to a safer place giving ben the go ahead.

Ben saw this and ducked a claw swipe from the droid before grabbing its hand and morphing his hand into a sword and slicing it off. The droid stumbled back a bit and looked at its destroyed hand before looking back at ben who was looking at it with a smirk. It fired a more powerful beam at ben who placed his arms in front of him catching the attack and redirected the reflecting beam back to it destroying it completely.

"Alright." Gwen cheered amongst the audience.

"Way to go Diamond Head!" Max cheered.

Ben looked at his adoring audience with a smug look and looked at his nails "I think my work here is done." He said before he left the area.

In the outskirts of space

"You may go and complete this mission." The master said to the second battle droid from his tube.

The droid then walked to the hatch of the ship and launched itself to earth.

With the Tennyson's

The Omnitrix was in time out mode and the Tennyson's were packing up for the night. Max looked at Frank who saw his gaze and nodded with a sigh.

He walked to his little brother and cousin who were setting up their sleeping bags "Ben, there's something I need to tell you and I guess now is as good a time as any," he looked at a curious Gwen "and I might as well tell you too Gwen."

"What about grandpa?" Ben asked.

"He already knows." Frank said then pulled the sleeve on his hand revealing his watch to ben and Gwen.

"That's just a watch Frank, you told me." Ben said. Gwen on the other hand was starting to see similarities between the watch and Ben's Omnitrix.

"It's not a watch Ben, it's a – *CRASH!*" they looked and saw another battle droid a few feet from then.

"Crap, watch is timed out, I can't do anything!" Ben said in panic and Frank had a serious face walking up to the droid.

"You don't have to." He said to his brother and before Ben could protest, Frank brought his wrist to his chest pressing the dial on his Omnitrix forcing the faceplate to shift creating a hologram of the different set of aliens in his collection. Frank selected the one he wanted and slammed the faceplate down in a similar fashion Ben did earlier and a green light surrounded the area. As it was done, they heard a funny voice that sounded a bit like a wrestler.

"Lemmie tell you something you stupid robot," it started "you think you and your buddy can come here and mess with Rath's family time?" he snarled and smacked his left fist into his right palm "No one messes with the Rath."

"Is that your brother?" Gwen asked pointing to what they were seeing, Ben just nodded shocked to do anything for what he just saw threw his world for a loop, okay well not really but this is a serious situation.

Standing in front of them was a hulking 9 feet figure. It was an orange and white bipedal tiger with one claw coming out of each wrist and no tail. He is also muscular and has green eyes that were glowing with rage.

"Roar!" Wrath snarled and rushed to the droid catching its arm that was going in for the swipe before clawing out said arm. Wrath looked at the arm then the droid and smirked then charged again using the machines arm to hit the robot repeatedly.

"Stop hitting yourself." Rath said each time he was smashing the droid with his arm destroying it pretty easily.

"Wow, your brother really knows how to handle himself." Gwen said shocked at the brutality.

"Don't worry about him, it's this form's character trait." Max explained "It seems he's prone to anger and solves it the only way it knows how."

"Its fists?" Ben asked but then noticed something and asked his grandpa "How do you know that, I thought you knew nothing about the watch."

"I helped your brother train." That was all he said to get Ben calming down.

"Looks like he's done." Gwen mused and they saw that as Rath ripped the head off the droid before crushing it and jumping of it as it fell to the ground.

Rath roared in victory before turning to his family and pressing the dial on his chest deactivating the Omnitrix revealing Frank who was scratching the back of his head at his brother's look that was demanding for answers.

Yup, this was going to be a great summer indeed.

Back at the campsite, Max and Gwen were finishing packing up their sleeping bags and other luggage back into the Rust Bucket.

Max then noticed two certain twins were missing. "Where are Ben and Frank?"

"I haven't seen 'em since breakfast." Gwen stated.

Soon, a dust cloud came speeding up and two aliens sped to a screeching halt, both of the same species. They were both blue-skinned velociraptor-like aliens with black skin on their arms and legs. They each had a long prehensile tail with blue and black stripes. Their arms ended with three fingered hands with scissor-like claws and instead of feet, they had blue wheel-like spheres at the end of their legs. A blue and black mask lifted from their faces, revealing the green eyes with black markings. They each wore a jumpsuit-like version of their regular clothes with the watch symbols on their chest.

"Guys?" Gwen asked.

"Yep." Ben said. "Turns out we have some of the same forms as the other."

"Hey! Check this out!" Frank said as his mask closed and he grabbed the cooler, TV, sleeping bags, and other luggage and packed it into the car at lightning-quick speed. "Pretty fast, huh?"

And that was when their watches timed out and they morphed back to normal.

"I have a feeling that this is gonna be the best summer ever." Ben said with a smile as his Brother smirked.

"You said it, bro." Frank said, jabbing his shoulder.

"Absolutely." Max agreed.
