Ratchet was aggravated beyond belief. The tetramand Princess Looma was staying in the base for the next few months. Miko was playing her guitar, although both jack and Looma looked about ready to break it, Proffessor Paradox was explaining to Arcee and optimus about Jack's training due to his Anodite nature and Raf was doing inventory on different marbles he had.
"Raf, what are you doing?" Miko asked as she stopped playing her guitar to look at Raf. Her face was oddly not sweaty considering the high tempratures.
Raf looked and Miko with a slight smile as he pushed his glasses up into their propper position. "Doing a check on my armory." He explained as he gestured to the marbles made of different materials. He picked up a bronze colored one and the material washed over his body. His left hand sharpened into a dagger like appendage and his right into a pickaxe before returning to normal. "Bee gave me a few cybertronian metals too." He added as he pointed to what looked like a splinter of bumblebee's armor which got shot off last week by a vehicon.
"Huh, neat." Miko smiled then looked at jack who was turning the dial on the omnitrix in different combinations. "So...Tennyson, what ya doing?" Miko asked with a slight laugh.
"Stuff." Jack shrugged as a green hologram of a small big eyed alien appeared. "Hey Asmuth."
"Jack, what are you currently doing to the omnitrix?" The small alien demanded.
"Trying to remember the self repair code, it turned me into a tetramand instead of XLR8 earlier." Jack explained.
"You can thank your father for that, always slamming his hands on it, not to mention he zeroed out the master control." Asmuth explained. "However, it can still be usable."
Jack nodded in understanding, he remembered his mum telling of the amount of times his father had slammed the device during his rages as Rath. Asmuth waved farewell and jack went back to turning the dial when it flashed yellow.
"Uncatalouged alien DNA detected." A monotone announcement declared.
"Activating scan." A yellow flash washed over a highly confused Miko. "Necrofridgian added to playlist five." The omnitrix flashed yellow twice then ti green. "DNA damaged, activating repair mode." There was a green flash and everybody covered their eyes.
"Okay...what was that about?" Miko asked in confusion.
"Omnitrix, status?" Jack asked the device.
"Human/Necrofridgian hybrid DNA scanned, five cancers detected and neutralized." The omnitrix explained as a hologram of Miko's half human DNA showed. "Latent abilities unlocked."
"What?" Miko asked in confusion. Just then she sneezed, freezing the arm of the chair she was facing. "WICKED!"
Ratchet sighed in annoyance at what he just saw. Miko plus ice powers was not a good thing for his mental health.
"I wonder." Jack pondered as he pushed down the dial of the omnitrix. He was turned into a orange humanoid tiger with a flash of green. "RATH?! LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING OMNITRIX, RATH DOESNT LIKE IT WHEN THE OMNITRIX DOESNT GIVE RATH WHAT HE WANTS!" With that he started clawing at the omnitrix symbol before hitting it hard. "STUPID OMNITRIX LISTEN TO RATH!"
Looma chuckled lightly at Jack's antics and walked over to him. "Beloved, please calm yourself, the time for battle is later."
Rath turned to look and Looma. "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING PINCESS LOOMA OF THE TERTAMANDS, RATH MAY LOVE YOU BUT NOBODY TELLS RATH WHAT TO DO NOT EVEN RATH TELLS RATH WHAT TO DO!"
Suddenly a female voice called out. "TUR-BO!" With that Rath was lifted off the ground, everybody starred in shock. A humanoid made of glowing pink energy stood by the elevator doors next to a very shocked Agent Fowler. "Jack, calm down."
"NO YOU LISTEN TO ME NOBODY TELLS RATH WHEN TO CALM DOWN NOB-" Rath ranted only for a pink brace of mana to cover his mouth.
The energy being sighed and floated over to the now restrained apoplexian and poked he omnitrix dial, returning jack to normal.
"I always knew Rath was annoying." They sighed before floating to the ground. In a purple flash the being became a ginger haired woman with freckles and glasses.
"Thanks aunt gwen." Jack smiled sheepishly. "Rath gets carried away."
The ginger haired woman nodded in understanding, she'd once been stuck as Rath after the omnitrix had a flux almost a decade ago. She then noticed Rafael was coated in a grey metal and Miko was half-floating behind him with her hands in fists. "Huh, you two must be Miko and Raf?"
Miko glared at gwen and was about to phase through Raf to get to her when a pink band grabbed her arm.
"Miko, leave my aunt alone, she's an Anodite like me. You wouldn't stand a chance." Jack cautioned to Miko then looked at Raf. "Calm down Raf, she was just helping."
"WHAT IN SAM HILLS IS GOING ON HERE?!" Fowler demanded in panic then pointed at Paradox. "And who are you?!"
"I am professor Paradox, a time walker if you will." Paradox explained casually. "You see I'm in this woods time live to fight the deceptions but should jack and I fail, the fallback plan is a simple but somewhat complicated one."
Fowler pinched the bridge of his nose. "Alright, someone please explain the basics then?"
Jack spoke up. "Uh..for starts Looma there is my girlfriend, shes a tetramand. Raf is half osmosian, Miko is part Necrofridgian, I'm part anodite like gwen and my dad, paradox can time travel and I've got a powerful alien device strapped to my wrist used to restore entire alien species."
Miko decided to add her two cents in. "Dude! I can freeze stuff!" She shouted then froze the ground by jack with her breath.
Fowler sighed in irritation. "Plumber brats."
"Hey!" Miko detested. "I don't think either of my parents fix sinks!"
Jack rolled his eyes at that comment and gwen pulled out her badge. "Actually they're an intergalactic police force. Just about every species has a rep in it."
"Even humans?" Miko asked.
"Yeah, even Humans." Jack nodded. "I know my great granddad is a member and he's human."
Fowler then put his two cents in."basically space UN?"
"Pretty much." Gwen shrugged. "Anyway, more to the point, Decepticons have raided the plumber outpost in undertown, we've been tracking down Plumber kids to help considering our resources are already spread thin."
"Hence you came here, Jacks dad was Ben 10 and all." Raf explained aloud.
Gwen nodded. "Yeah, my dork cousin." She playfully teased. "Raf and Miko, you two can come too."
Ratchet perked up at that. "Take her!"
"HEY!" Miko shot back at the medic just as professors paradox disappeared. "I'd freeze you ya know!"
Ratchet scoffed at that. "Doc, uh...Necrofridgians breath out liquid nitrogen." Bulkhead pointed out. "Just like Miko can."
"Anyway, we need to get going." Jack hinted. "Get in a circle and hold hands." Gwen knew where this was going. Either he'd use his anodite inheritance or clockwork to get them moving.
Miko, Raf, jack, Looma and gwen were all in a circle with the others looking on in confusion.
Jack's eyes glowed bright pink. "Vorpexus quononum irripardus!" With a bright flash they found themselves in a grey circular room filled with different aliens. Jack had inadvertently burnt out his physical body, leaving him in his Anodite form.
"Dude..."Miko awed at jack. "That is so cool!"
"Ugh...jetlag." Jack groaned as he held his head. There was a bright flash and his human body was reformed. "Sorry about the burning sensation, feedback is still something I'm working on."
Looma shrugged at it, she was used to discomfort. Miko wasn't effected by the energy for whatever reason. But both gwen and raf's hair danced with static crackles.
"You need to work on that." Gwen muttered. "But jetlag is normal." She suddenly covered her mouth muttering. "I'm gonna hurl!"
"Not near me your not!" Miko called as she stepped away from gwen.
A elderly man in a red hawiian shirt walked over with a smile. "Well, if it isn't my granddaughter and great grandson."
"Hi grandpa." Jack smiled. "Paradox called by earlier, cons are running amok."
The man sighed then nodded before looking at Miko and Raf. "Who are you two?"
"I'm Miko, this is Raf!" Miko called as she abseltmindedly floated on the spot, oblivious to her own ability at the moment.
"I'm Max Tennyson, nice to meet you, you're also just in time for my famous garvarian slime ant stew!" The man smiled.
"PASS!" Miko, gwen and raf squeeked.
"I would not mind much, my mother used to make it all the time." Looma smiled happily.
"While I would, mum would kill me." Jack shrugged nervously.
"You'd actually eat that?!" Gwen gagged.
"I spent a good three decades with verona, and trust me, she's a worse cook." Jack shuddered at the memory of the different alien dishes his great grandmother made him during his many years of Anodine.
"Uh, anyway, we should get going." Gwen urged, not wanting to be roped into trying one of her grandfather's odd alien dishes he was so fond of. "Debriefing and such."
"Beloved, I will catch up." Looma smiled as she walked of with Max.
"Dude...nasty." Miko gagged, inadvertedly making the area very cold.
Gwen nodded in agreement along with Raf as they walked off towards the debriefing room. The door was massive, galvin tech with fifteen tripple reinforced deadlock bolts and as an additional security, a locked wooden door infront of it encase of sonic probes or screwdrivers.
"Just be warned, the rest of the team may shock you." Gwen warned. jack shrugged at that. Gwen opened both doors. Inside were two people. One they knew was sierra, Although she had a red band around her neck with a dial simular to the omnitrix but a tripple hourglass on it. The other was in red with grey hair and a reversed ten on his jacket.
Jack coffed in shock. "ALBEDO?!"
