Jake Ten? Chapter Three

In Gramps' shop-

Ben stared at the girl.

"You know?" he whispered. Emma nodded again.

"Yes. I know you are Ben Ten, who you are supposed to be. And you are not supposed to be a dragon."

"But how do you know?" Ben asked. Emma smirked.

"Let's just say I have my sources." Gramps and Max emerged from the back.

"I'll see you later Ben," Max said to his grandson, then left with Gwen tagging along behind him.

"Emma will teach you your first dragon lesson," Lou Shi told Ben, who nodded. Then Lou Shi went back. Emma grinned.

"Dragon Up!" Ben stepped backward at the sight of the lavender dragon towering over him. Then the dragon dipped her head.

"Hop on," it said in Emma's voice. Ben obliged.

At the Long residence-

"Haley, be quiet!" Emma shouted at her sister. She and Ben were in the backyard. Haley stuck her tongue out at her and then ran into the house. Emma sighed.

"All right, now we're going to start with-" Emma was interrupted by Jake's voice. He had walked into the backyard and was fiddling with the Omnitrix.

"Hey Emma, what do you think this button does?" Jake asked as he moved his finger to press it. Both Emma and Bens' eyes grew wide. Emma gestured with her hand and a pile leaves fell out of nowhere on top of Jake. Jake emerged, spitting leaves.

"Thanks," he said, glaring at his twin. Then he went back into the house.

"Okay, now we're going to start with this: turning into a dragon."

"Sweet! But I thought we were gonna talk about the Omnitrix."

"We are, but in a place that's only accessible by flying." Ben nodded.

"Oh."

Ben did exactly as Emma said, and after a couple of tries, a green dragon was in his place.

"Sweet!"

"Follow me." Emma took off, and Ben followed her unsteadily.

In a super cool hiding spot that I won't say where it is because Emma told me not to-

Emma shed her dragon form easily and effortlessly, like a snake shedding an old skin. (A/N Well, a dragon is sort of like a snake…) It took Ben a few tries with Emma's coaching. When he was finally human again, he shivered.

"That was not fun," he said. "There is no way that I was supposed to have dragon powers." Emma sat down on a moss covered rock and looked out of the mouth of the cave. The entire of NYC was spread out below them like a map. Ben turned and saw the view.

"Wow."

"I know." Emma then turned her head, obviously upset. "I hate it."

"Why? You live there," Ben asked. Emma's lip curled with disgust.

"It's just so… awful. All that pollution, all the noise, all the people. Sometimes I just want to scream. But I know I shouldn't." Ben was curious.

"Why not?"

"Because if I do, all the windows in the city would shatter, and maybe a few of the more fragile buildings," Emma replied. Then she patted a rock next to her.

"Sit down." Ben obeyed.

"What do you remember about the Omnitrix?" she asked.

"Most of it," Ben admitted.

"What do you recall?"

"The aliens I could turn into and their names. But for some reason I can't remember how to use it," Ben said, his face turning red. Emma covered her mouth as she tried not to laugh. When she finally controlled it, she smiled.

"That's all right. Many of us forget the simplest things. But they come back to us in the end."

"Oookay." Emma handed him the magazine she had been reading. She flipped the pages until she came to the article about the Omnitrix.

"Here. Read this," she said. Ben looked at the article. It looked very complex.

"Um, maybe I actually do remember some of the stuff now," he said, edging away from the technical article. Emma snorted.

"Yeah, right." She pointed at the page and mumbled a few words under her breath. She handed it back to Ben.

"Better now?" Ben scanned article. It was like translating Greek into English.

"Tons."

"Good." Emma stood up. "You read that. I have to go meet somebody."

"Who?"

"That's confidential information," Emma replied and headed into the back of the cave. She lay down on the floor and began to sleep.

In the dream corridor-

Lavender Emma saw Plain Emma appear out of nowhere.

"So?" Lavender Emma asked. Plain Emma grinned.

"Ben remembers most of it. I gave him the rest of the information." Lavender Emma grinned as well.

"Excellent."

"So how did your research go?" Plain Emma asked. Lavender Emma winced.

"Not so good."

"Uh oh."

"Yeah. I couldn't find anything! I'll keep looking, though. You just make sure Jake doesn't use the Omnitrix. I've got a potion brewing that should do the trick for the other part of our plan." Plain Emma nodded.

"Good. I'll…" Plain Emma's voice faded as she woke up. Lavender Emma frowned.

Back in the secret hiding spot-

Ben was shaking Emma frantically.

"Emma, wake up!" She finally woke up and her eyes opened blearily.

"What is it?" Ben gulped and pointed outside the cave.

"Harpies." There were hundreds of them, waiting just outside the cave borders. Emma sat up.

"How did they get here?" she asked.

"I don't know. They just showed up, like, pop." Emma frowned.

"But…" Then her eyes moved over them all. They looked exactly the same, like clones. She breathed out in relief.

"They aren't real. They're just an illusion." Ben shook his head.

"Could an illusion do this?" he asked and pointed to a nasty scrape on his arm. Emma's face grew pale.

"Real harpies." Unknowingly, she broadcasted a scream of pure terror to Jake.

At the Long residence-

Jake's head jerked up. He could hear Emma's scream of pure terror echoing eerily through his head. He gasped and started to fiddle with the Omnitrix.

"I'm coming, Emma," he thought to his sister desperately.

"No! It's fine. Ben and I can handle this. Just don't mess with the watch." Jake stopped. Why was she preventing him from using something he knew could save her?

"Too bad, Emma," he muttered. Then an invisible force pushed him from behind, slamming him against his bedroom wall. He groaned and picked himself up. He looked at the Omnitrix. Too late. He had lost it. He slammed his head against the wall in frustration.

"Ouch!"

Back at the secret cave-

Emma was standing in front of Ben. She could hold off the harpies, but not for long. She needed help. She searched her mind for anyone that could help her. Anyone. A slow grin spread across her face as she took out her cell phone. She speed-dialed a number, then held her phone up to her ear.

"Danielle? Yeah, can you and Danny come over here? I need some help."

Now that was unexpected. But a cell phone plays an even larger role near the end, trust me. You'll be surprised. Well, maybe you won't. It depends.
