Chapter 3: Thirst of the Hunter

Kyber sat aboard his ship among his many trophies, admiring them and thinking about more trophies to add to his growing collection. Ben Tennyson would make a great trophy, he was sure, but that would have to wait for later, because Kyber was interested in two children who were part alien, but also part human, which was interesting and rare. Their parents had been part human as well, but the trait had been recessive in them, but their children had the trait and could change from their alien forms to human.

"Two such rare trophies would be perfect for my collection," he said, sharpening his hunting knife. "No one, not even Vilgax, can stop me from getting them."

He glanced around one more time. "Yes, this will be an excellent hunt," he chuckled darkly as he began polishing his knife.

Little did he know, someone was watching him from one of the many air grilles in his ship.

This person moved quickly out, fear and worry making them hurry back to the meeting spot where his two colleagues were waiting. They looked up at their companions approach.

"He's getting ready to hunt them," their companion said, out of breath from running.

"He must not succeed," said one of the ones who waited and then turned to the third one. "We may need Ben Tennyson to help us with this one."

"Yes," the third one agreed solemnly. "First, we must warn Tetrax and perhaps get the children to some place where Kyber can't get to."

"He's a hunter though," said the first. "Which planet can he not go to?"

The third speaker was thoughtful before saying one word. "Xenon."

His two companions were shocked. "But that planet is dangerous," protested the second speaker. "The Florauna are very territorial. They'll eat those kids."

The third speaker shook his head and spoke. "I have a good friend among them who is their leader. He will make sure the children are protected once we tell him the situation."

His companions nodded slowly. "Alright," said the first speaker. "We warn Tetrax, then we need to get the kids to Xenon, and then we fight. But I think it's best that we get someone to take the kids to Xenon so no suspicion is drawn to us."

"Agreed," the second speaker said. "I know a Tetramand who can help us."

All three nodded. "Alright," said the third speaker. "Let's get going."

Oh, boy. More mystery. Xenon was the planet mentioned in Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix. The three speakers are good guys, don't worry. Free cyber cookies to those who review! Please review!
