Disclaimer: We don't own Ben 10 or the characters. We only own Ashley, Kira and the ideas.
Jackie: Welcome to the second chapter of our first Ben 10 fan fiction. This is where the aliens and the two girls meet the Tennysons. Oh and thank you reviewers for showing interest in this fan fiction.
Jessie: Each chapter is about two to three pages front and back. So they'll never be too short again, since we have a lot of ideas for this fan fiction. Hope you all enjoy this.
It was around ten AM on a Saturday morning. The last few rays of light from the sun spread over a creepy and abandon-looking three story mansion outside of a large city in Colorado. Three scared looking teenage kids were screaming as they ran back into the city, scared by the loud barks, growls, and grunts of Wildmutt, who was hidden in the large bushes next to the mansion. But inside that very mansion, it was neat and clean, since Kira and Ashley settled into the home with the twelve aliens for over four years. On the second story, inside their room, the twin girls were sleeping peacefully in their separate beds. A ghastly figure phased through the wall near the door and looked down at them.
"The intruders have fled in terror." Ghostfreak said softly. It startled the girls out of their dreams, yelped and nearly fell out of their beds. The two girls were very light sleepers.
"Ghostfreak… please don't do that ever again. We told you to knock first, not phase through the door or wall." Ashley sighed, rubbing her eyes.
"Yeah, I had that dream again… so I didn't sleep that well." Kira muttered, her eyes drooping slightly. Ashley looked around, noticing that XLR8 and Wildmutt didn't come in at that time, as they usually wake them up, in case they overslept.
"Where's Wildmutt and XLR8?" she asked, glancing at Ghostfreak, as Kira fell back to sleep. Ghostfreak blinked her violet eye.
"XLR8 is trying to wake Heatblast. He apparently fell asleep in the oven again to keep his fire burning at the right temperature. Good thing he didn't burn down the house while he was at it. Wildmutt is outside, silently scouting for more intruders." Ghostfreak explained. Ashley nodded slightly.
"Well, I better fix breakfast for all of you. Kira, wake up. Ghostfreak, get everyone down to the dining room." Ashley said, walking into the bathroom with her close that she was going to change into and dressed quickly, then trotted downstairs. A few minutes later, ten aliens filed into the large dinning room. Kira, Ghostfreak and Wildmutt came in later on. Ashley was the major cook in the household, along with Heatblast and Fourarms. She came up with extremely good food for everyone. After breakfast and almost getting crushed to death by one of Fourarms' death hugs, the two girls said goodbye to their alien friends as they went off to get some more food and drinks.
"Ghostfreak, remember to keep Wildmutt inside the house at all costs… and don't let Ripjaws feed him anything that is not meat. Fourarms, make sure that Heatblast doesn't burn down the house. XLR8, you can help Cannonbolt around the house, Ripjaws, we finally found that ancient water crystal from our home planet to keep your gills moist when you're out of the water for a long time. It's near your water tank. Stinkfly, Wildvine… I guess you can plant more plants up in that attic that you just so happen to turn into a garden. Diamondhead, well you can help Grey Matter and Upgrade with the computer." Kira said as they walked out of the back door, not wanting to be seen walking out of the front door, then headed into the city. Ashley looked down at the list that XR8 wrote for Heatblast and Fourarms. While the twins went shopping, Wildmutt had sneaked away from Ghostfreak, who was talking to XLR8 and Cannonbolt at that time, went up into the attic and jumped out of the open window, despite the yelling from Stinkfly and Wildvine. XLR8 heard a loud thump outside then sighed, excusing herself from her two friends then raced out of the front door. Wildmutt was a quarter mile away from the mansion, roaming around. XLR8 shot down the street. When she was about four meters away from the house, she nearly got hit by RV that was coming her way, heading towards the city.
"Wildmutt? Where are you?" XLR8 called as she skidded to a stop to look back at the RV then glanced to one side, seeing Wildmutt bounding towards her. She then returned her gaze the RV, which turned sharply, went off the road and rolled to a stop. Two heads, one of a red haired green eyes girl and one of a brown haired green eyed boy stuck their heads out the side window.
"XLR8 and Wildmutt? But… how?" The boy muttered.
"Grandpa!" The girl called and pulled the boy away from the window.
"Not good. Thisss isss ssso not good. Wildmutt, DOWN BOY!" XLR8 hissed as her visor flew down so she could glare up at the dog alien, who had climbed up onto the RV. The two kids scrambled out of the RV, followed by their grandpa and looked up at the dog alien who was standing on top of the RV, growling. XLR8 twisted her head around fast, hearing footsteps behind her.
"What's going on XLR8? Stinkfly and Wildvine were pretty upset that Wildmutt broke four of their potted plants." Ripjaws said, a little bit of irritation seeping into her words as her and the other nine aliens came towards them. The two kids and their grandpa looked at the twelve aliens as they came together.
"All twelve of the aliens from the Omnitrix? Here on earth? That's so cool!" The boy said and approached them, smiling. Ripjaws, being the grumpy alien she always is with strangers, snapped her jaws and slashed at the kid with her clawed hand, who was thrown back. Fourarms came forward and held a tight grip on Ripjaws.
"Ripjawsss… Ssstand down. You know what Ashley and Kira would ssay if they ssaw uss outside." XLR8 warned the fish alien. Grey Matter made the mistake of jumping onto Stinkfly's head from Upgrade's shoulder, wanting to get a better view of the three humans.
"Get off of my head Grey Matter before I cover you in acid!" The moody winged alien growled and swatted at him with one of her claws. Diamondhead plucked the little alien off her friends head and placed him onto her shoulder. Ripjaws struggled out of Fourarms grip and snapped at him before returning her gaze to the three people. Wildmutt, forgotten by that time, leapt off the roof and pinned both kids to the ground, growling at the kids all the while. It was at that time that Ashley and Kira came into view. The two girls almost dropped their bags of food and soda if Fourarms didn't take the bags away from them.
"What are you all doing outside? We told you that a hundred times already for the past four years! Wildmutt, get off of them right now." Ashley growled. Wildmutt barked and backed away from the kids and stood right beside Ashley.
"Who are you three anyways?" Kira asked, eyeing the two kids as they got up from the pavement, hand positioned above her Shadow Omnitrix on her left wrist. Her sister had her hand over her Shadow Omnitrix on her right wrist.
"I'm Max Tennyson, and these are my grandkids, Gwen and Ben." The old man said. Ashley turned her head slightly to the second oldest alien, Diamondhead.
"I though you said that you would keep everyone out of trouble AND out of sight!" she snapped. She was clearly irritated, not at the aliens themselves, but that they were seen by three people in public right outside their house.
"Though I'm the second oldest doesn't mean I have to be responsible all the time. You said that job was XLR8's not mine…" Diamondhead said, narrowing her yellow eyes slightly. Ben, Gwen and Max looked from the aliens to the twin girls then at each other, confused.
"Hey Diamondhead, I have enough trouble with Wildmutt running off like he did a few minutes ago." XLR8 hissed. The other aliens sighed softly. They thought that arguing was pointless, as it gets them no where. Ghostfreak hovered in place, turning her attention from the girls to Ben, and blinked. Ben noticed Ghostfreak and gulped, remembering his experience with his Ghostfreak.
"What a pathetic trio of humans. Wait… He has the first Prototype Omnitrix." She muttered, gazing at Ben's right wrist.
"Fourarms take the bags inside, Heatblast, go with him… Actually… everyone back inside the house." Kira sighed. The aliens, even the trouble-making Wildmutt nodded and went back inside. They girls narrowed their eyes.
"You better leave, or we'll have to force you." Ashley growled. When they didn't move, the girls quickly activated their Omnitrix, spun the dial then pressed the face back down, smirking. Two silver flashes took the girls placed for a few seconds. When the flashes faded, Kira was in her XLR8 form as Ashley was in her Wildmutt form.
"Sssurprise." Kira said, smirking as her visor slid down, revealing bright green eyes. Ben narrowed his eyes slightly then looked down at his Omnitrix, which was in the red, since he used it to entertain himself on the trip to the city. Kira nodded to Ashley, who barked loudly. Kira then sped towards Ben in a flash of blue and black. Ashley, in her white black striped Wildmutt form, which was also a little bit larger then Bens' Wildmutt form, grunted and went after Gwen and Max. As Kira was coming towards him, his Omnitrix activated and he pressed the dial down, hoping for his Fourarms form. A few seconds later, his was in his Fourarms form and fended off a series of swift kicks from Kira. She was then thrown backwards towards the house by a double punch from Ben. Ashley was pinning down Max and Gwen on the ground, baring her teeth when Ben rammed her into the RV, which rocked slightly. The girls' Fourarms noticed the fight from out of the kitchen window, thundered out of the large front door, yelling. He caught Kira with his bottom set of arms and stopped abruptly. Kira muttered a thank you and grunted as he set her down onto the ground. She then blinked as the tall, red skinned alien rushed past her and caught Ben in a headlock with his top set of arms while the bottoms ones pinned Ben's four arms at his side. Ashley growled as she got up from the ground, a bit dazed at that time but quickly shook it off, only to be brought back down to the ground by high pitch sound waves that came from a Sonic Pitch Whistle used by Max. She howled and backed away from Max and Gwen, covering her highly sensitive 'ears'.
"That's one way to bring her down." Gwen muttered as she looked up at her grandpa. He nodded slightly. Ben was able to throw Fourarms off him, right past Kira, who was racing towards Ben once again. Kira slowed down at three different beeping sounds then three different flashes followed in the seconds that followed. Ashley was still kneeling on the ground, covering her ears as Ben looked down at her. Kira growled as she glared at the Tennysons. Fourarms narrowed his four eyes as he picked up Ashley gently. Ben sweatdropped a little then looked back at his grandpa and cousin.
"Fourarms, stand down." Kira called from in back of the tall alien. He glanced back at Kira then nodded. Ashley opened her eyes; feeling a little dazed, and then looked down at Kira, who was walking away back to the house, muttering stuff under her breath.
"Ben, are you alright?" Max asked. Ben shook his head then looked up at Kira, who uncovered her ears as the ringing in her ears slowly died off. Ashley, not wanting to talk at that time, tapped Fourarms rough arm repeatedly until he noticed that she wanted down. She was placed onto the ground and glared at the three people as Fourarms walked back into the house.
"Are you trying to get yourselves killed by these aliens? Because from the looks of it, you are." She demanded, icy blue eyes flashing as she folded her arms across her chest.
"No, I was just acting out of reflex. No one messes with my family." Ben yelled at the 16 year old girl. A twisted look or rage and anger shone on the girls' face.
"Oh sure you were you little shrimp. Now buzz off. And stay away from our house." Ashley hissed and stalked back into the house. Kira was pushing Wildmutt out of the doorway, not wanting him to chase after them. The door slammed shut with a loud bang as Ashley walked in.
"What's with them?" Ben asked, looking up at her grandpa. Gwen sighed and looked over at her Ben then up at Max.
"They both have an Omnitrix, but theirs is called the Shadow Omnitrix. The Plumbers heard only rumors that they were created on another planet in this the Milky Way. Then it is true that they exist." Grandpa Max muttered.
"That's another thing you didn't tell us Grandpa." Gwen pointed out.
"It must have slipped my mind until today." He said, looking down at his grandkids. A few seconds later, there was a small explosion inside the house. Smoke and flames suddenly came forth out of the chimney.
"HEATBLAST!" A yell came from inside the house. Several crashes and a loud howl were heard from inside the house a few minutes later. Inside the house, Fourarms was going on a yelling spree for who knows what reason, XLR8 was glaring out the slightly boarded up front window out at the three humans, Wildmutt howling up a storm and Kira slamming the door to her and Ashley's room. The other aliens were in the other rooms, trying to ignore the commotion going on around the house.
Jackie: That's a little cliffy for you all to deal with. We're so evil. You just have to find out what happens in the next chapter that coming soon. Oh and the twins and sometimes the aliens have nicknames that they use for each other.
Jessie: Here's a two little spoilers to keep you busy as you wonder what the next chapter will be about.
Spoiler #1: "What if those three were spies for Vilgax?" Kira muttered to Grey Matter, not noticing that Ripjaws was standing in the doorway.
"I don't think that it is possible. That ten year old boy had the first prototype Omnitrix. You might have mistaken him for a spy…" Grey Matter said, going into a long and complicated speech about the Omnitrix. Kira sighed, not wanting to hear it again for the hundredth time in the four years she had known him.
"Grey, now is not the time to give me another lecture about the Omnitrix." Kira snapped, cutting him off and turned her attention to Ripjaws.
Spoiler #2: Instantly all eyes - and ears - were on Ghostfreak.
"Oh I just have to hear this one Ghostfreak." Kira said, smirking slightly. Ashley chuckled slightly, knowing that Ghostfreak had done pretty sweet things when she was gone.
"To the living room!" Heatblast enthusiastically said.
"Why the living room HB?" Wildvine said, entering the dining room once again, looking slightly annoyed.
"Because Ghostfreak is going to tell us what she did to those three humans earlier." Fourarms said.
A/N: The only two bitchy aliens are Stinkfly and Ripjaws. Why? We have no idea really, other then the fact that they hate strangers. The aliens have a few spats here and there… But mostly they get along fine with each other and with the twins.
A/N: The hardest aliens that had to earn their trust were those two. All the others were pretty easy to gain their trust. First was XLR8, then Wildmutt, Grey Matter, Fourarms, Ghostfreak, Heatblast, Cannonbolt, Diamondhead, Wildvine, Upgrade, Stinkfly and Ripjaws.
