Chapter 3: Welcome to WoodBell!
Jen thought she'd seen it all.
She faced countless enemies, struggled in high school, played soccer for a hobby, and saved the universe three times (four if you count that fact that she reshaped it). But she had never seen herself in a situation quite this awkward.
"So…Ben, Gwen, and Kevin, this is my cousin Glen and my friend Kylie." She said, giving the most pained expression Ben had ever seen.
Kylie immediately liked Kevin. They were both half Osmosian, had been evil, and worked with cars. Kevin found himself surprised at Kylie's extensive knowledge on different cars.
"You study cars for a living?" He asked her.
"Yeah one day I'm going to modify my own car and make it the coolest in the galaxy. I might need help with it now though." She eyed him, giving the instinctive of that she needed help.
"I think I may be able to help you with that. If you have a few parts in your storage."
"Well then, welcome to the crew Kevin Levin." She shook his hand.
Gwen and Glen studied each other carefully. Gwen was sure he had the spark of the Anodites and Glen thought so vice versa.
"So you can control mana too huh?" He implied. Gwen nodded.
"I have been practicing for years. I finally have been able to even shed my human skin and go full blown Anodite as well." She told him.
"Same, but I hardly use it, unless I'm angry at something or my family is threatened."
Gwen gave him an admiring look. He did do a good job protecting his cousin and girlfriend.
"So now that that's out of the way, can we check out your town? I'm starving!" Ben said, his stomach growling, Jen chuckled, only for her own stomach to start growling.
"I guess we can all use something to eat. We'll take you into town with us."
"Uh won't it be weird if anyone saw us with these guys?" Kylie asked, jabbing her thumb at Team 10. "They might think they're seeing double."
"I suppose we'll just tell them that they're merely our cousins or something." Glen said.
"Then it's decided!" Jen grabbed Ben's hand, making him stumble. "We'll take you to WoodBell!"

*End Theme Song*
*Space, outside Earth's orbit*
A giant ship was floating over the planet Earth. On it, the most feared enemy in the galaxy loomed over a panel. The creature was fierce, a warrior and a conqueror of ten planets.
And had tentacles for hair, long slimy tentacles.
This alien was known as Vilora. She was a fearsome beast with a cruel attitude to boot. She wore an amalgam of different armor parts she had stolen from her opponents; a golden chest plate, silver gauntlets, bronze boots, and the rest of her armor was pure red. She also had a helmet adorn her head. On her waist, a sword hung on one side and another was sheathed on the other. Her red eyes looked up at the window, full of pure hatred.
"For years I've tried to take over that miserable rock. For years I've tried to harness the ultimate device that it holds." She growled, thinking of the many times she'd failed. "And every time I get close to getting the Earth, that blasted girl Jen Tennyson has bested me with the Omnitrix!"
Her drones back away from her in fear. When she was angry, she tended to blast them to bits.
Her adviser stepped forward though. "My Lady, I have some great news!"
"Well out with it!"
"Your foe, Jen Tennyson has lost her Omnitrix. Our sources indicate that she's been without it for two weeks now. It's somewhere on Earth, ripe for the pickings."
This intrigued Vilora, her red eyes gleaming with excitement. Her foe had lost the thing that bestowed her power!
"Set a course to Earth. We have an Omnitrix to find! But first," She pressed a button on the panel. "How about we send something to destroy Tennyson!"
*With Team 10 & Alternative 10*
"Welcome to WoodBell!"
Ben's eyes widen at the sight of their town. Tall buildings overshadowed most of the town. Every house was built with red roofs and glass windows. He turned to see a couple of kids playing on the sidewalks, their parents chatting on the porch. Cars drove by, teenagers hanging out, and the distinctive smell of hot dogs in the air.
"Your version of our home is too perfect." Kevin finally said.
"It's relatively peaceful, it's rare if something interesting happens." Kylie agreed.
"But whenever something happens in the galaxy, count on the Repairmen to fix somethings." Glen explained.
"Repairmen? Like the Plumbers in our world." Gwen nodded her head.
"Yeah...sorta like that."
Ben swiveled his head around. "So where's this universe's version of Mr. Smoothie?"
Jen raised an eyebrow. "Smoothies? You like drinking those?"
Ben looked at her, aghast for a second. "How could you not like smoothies? You're the alternative version of me!"
Jen put her hands on her hips. "We don't have smoothies.." She smiled softly. "But we do have something similar." She grabbed his arm and pulled him towards a cluster of buildings.
"Well, I for one want to see everything in the town." Gwen asked. Glen looked at at Kylie, who mischievously grinned. Kevin gave her a curious look before she shouted.
"We'll be happy to show you to around. Lady and Gentlemen I give you the Kylie Levin Experience!"
With Ben & Jen...
"Welcome to Miss Milkshakes!"
Ben gasped as he saw his familiar Mr. Smoothie being the total opposite in this universe. The iconic Mr. Smoothie was replaced with a cup with whipped cream hair and high heels.
"No smoothies in this universe? How do you survive?" Ben asked her, his eyes in shock.
Jen giggled and rolled her eyes. "I drink my way with a delicious banana and peach milkshake."
Ben looked at her body with amazement. How could someone who only drinks milkshakes look that fit?
Jen noticed this and, on instinct, punched him in the arm. It didn't hurt him, but it sure surprised him.
"My eyes are up here Tennyson!" She stammered, blushing hard. Ben gave her a surprised look and blushed as well. There was an awkward silence before either of them spoke again.
They didn't get a word in before a loud crash was heard. The once peaceful neighborhood was interrupted by a red droid, who was shooting laser beams everywhere.
Jen immediately went to activate her Omnitrix to remember she didn't have it at the moment. She cursed under her breath a language Ben hadn't heard before.
"Only one enemy would find out I have no more Omnitrix! It just had to be her!"
Ben reached for his Omnitrix. "Where I come from, we call that person Vilgax."
"Well here she goes by Vilora. And if I was a guessing girl, she probably wants the Omnitrix in her slimy tentacles."
Ben glanced at the droid, then back at Jen. He stood in front of her, making her curious.
"What are you doing?"
"You have no Omnitrix, no means of defending yourself. The least you can do is let me protect you."
Jen gave him a incredulous look. "Just because I don't have the Omnitrix doesn't mean I can't defend myself!"
Ben turned around and gave her a harsh glare. "I'm not letting you get hurt!" he told her, thinking about Julie and how she was injured with him on one of his adventures. "Please just let me handle this."
Jen blinked in surprise. Slowly she nodded and backed up a bit. "Ben don't let that thing kill you. I don't know much about this Vilgax person, but Vilora is cunning. She programs her droids to learn their opponents moveset."
Ben smiled at her, soothing her nerves a bit. "Then I'll have to do something unpredictable." He activated his Omnitrix and scrolled down the list of different aliens before finding the one he wanted. "IT'S HERO TIME!"
Will Ben be able to protect Jen? Will Vilora find the Omnitrix before they do? And what happened to Gwen, Glen, Kevin, and Kylie?
