Here's chapter 4, my first completely original chapter of the story.
Now before I start there are several things I need to apologies for. So, here you go.
Also, I would like to apologizes for how long it has taken me to get this up. There has been several problems with my internet, laptop, time and... well... life in general.
I'd also like to apologies to everyone for all of the mistakes that where in the past chapters, those where edited on my tablet and used Fanfiction's own spell checker... which is apparently terrible. It also has an onscreen keyboard system which is smaller than a normal one so I might have hit several wrong buttons. Again, I apologies.
And finally, I would like to apologies for how short the last few chapter where. In my defense, this story was adopted so the first few chapters where already written I just edited them slightly. The chapters where short in the first place and I didn't want to add too much. So, again I am sorry. The chapters, after this one, will be at least 2000 to 3000 words. This is because I wish to regularly update this story for as long as I can and still have them at a good level. So I don't want them to be too long which is why 2000 words will be my MINIMUM, but not too short like the past chapters where. I am sorry if you do not like this, but it is what I believe is best for my ability and skill.
And, yes, I know the 'Halloween Trio' have been renamed. However, these three where my favorite aliens in the original series, and I HATE their names, they sound stupid and don't sound like any of the kind of names that Ben would give his original/Alien Force Aliens. Well, actually, Frankinstrike sounds awesome so I might keep that. So, for only THESE TWO, I will give them new names. For BenWolf I'm using what I have always called him, Anubis. BenMummy I have decided on calling him Kek, it means God of Darkness.
Now before we start, I would like to state the harem once again:
The harem will include Isis(the existing member from the original story), two other OC's who I shall NOT reveal at this moment (although we meet one this chapter), Charmcaster, Helen Wheels, Ester, Princess Looma, Princess Attea and EightEight. If there are any girls you would like to see please leave them in a PM. And for the Bwen fans put there, if you can think of a good way for me to bring her into the harem without bashing either Kevin, making it seem unnatural and make it not seem random then I shall do it. If you have an idea that meets this criteria then please it in a review as well.
Disclaimer: Man of Action owns Ben 10... well, they did before they sold it. Unfortunately, not to me, but to Cartoon Network. (Thank you to Nidhogg32 for brining this information to my attention)
Ben's Harem
Chapter 4: Space Travel
Ben and Isis caught up with the others in time to see the ship they would be travelling in. It was large, sleek and black. It wasn't something overly covered in marking or anything fancy. It looked like a ship to move fast and silently, almost like a spy space ship. "I glad you two finally made it." Grandpa Max chuckled
"Yea, sorry." Ben chuckled "And that is a sweet ship."
"Yea, it's a proto-type stealth ship designed to travel at high speeds across long distances without being detected." Kevin replied "Capable of jumping from here to Galvan Prime in minutes."
"Wow." Gwen gawked
"What's it's name?" Isis asked
"It's got a long, boring, technical name by the tech-heads and for official regions but everyone who knows about it calls it one common name." Kevin explained "May I introduce, the Nightbird."
"Sweet." Ben said with a sparkle in his eyes "Can I drive?"
"No!" Kevin yelled in annoyance
"Fine." Ben grumbled in annoyance with a slight pout and Isis giggled lightly at his reaction
"So, we heading out now?" Gwen asked curiously
"Not yet, we still need to wait for the third member of the transport team." Max said with a shake of his head
"Transport team?" Kevin, Gwen and Ben all asked in confusion
"It is Plumber regulation for there to be three high ranked Plumbers when transporting two royal delicates." Max explained
"Grandpa, I think you need to get some glasses." Ben explained "Gwen, Kevin and I equal three high ranked Plumbers and Isis is the only delicate we need to transport."
"Ben, since you are Isis' fiancé you also count as a royal delicate and therefore you do not count as a member of the transport team." Max explained
"So we'll be getting an extra wheel?" Kevin asked
"More like extra Wheels." a female said as a blue streak passed everyone in the room before it stopped to reveal the from of Helen Wheels, a human/ Kineceleran halfblood, who was a friend of the three
"Hey Helen." Ben greeted
"Hey Ben." Helen replied "I'm sorry I'm late, I was handling a small Alien problem in Japan."
"No problem." Max nodded
"So, who are the royal delicvates I'm helping to transport?" Helen asked
"That would be Ben and his new fiancé." Kevin chuckled
"Fiancé?!" Helen gasped in shock and confusion
"That would be me, I am Princess Isis of the Thep Khufan race of Planet Anur Khufos." the Princess explained
"Oh. Well, nice to meet you." Helen bowed before she turned to Ben "Engaged to a Princess Ben? How did you do that?"
"By accident." Ben chuckled as he, Gwen, Isis, Kevin and Helen all entered the ship
"Bye Grandpa!" Ben and Gwen called behind them
"See you! And Ben, behave!" Max called after them
"How do you get engaged by accident?" Helen asked in disbelief as she and Gwen sat down opposite Ben and Isis while Kevin went to the front and into the pilot chair
"Well, it is the kind of strange and random thing that would happen to Ben." Gwen shrugged
"It should take about three hours for us to reach Anur Khufos." Kevin called back as the ship began to fly out of the Plumbers base
"Then, if you wouldn't mind, I would like to make a call." Isis said respectively
"Sure. The communication terminal is near where you are sat Princess." Kevin replied
"Thank you." Isis replied before she headed towards a panel and pressed it causing a screen and a small keyboard of some sorts to unfold from the wall. She then began to press a sequence of buttons
"Who are you calling?" Ben asked curiously
"My friend Selene." Isis replied "She is a Loboan."
"Loboan?" Ben asked before he started up the Ultimatrix, making the hologram appear, and began to scroll through the aliens he had. After several seconds he stopped at a wolf-like alien and showed it to Isis "Like this?"
"Yes." Isis nodded after a quick look "Loboans live on the moon Luna Lobo which is close to Anur Khufos. She's the Princess of there so we saw each other kinda often."
"Wait, that reminds me." Helen said in shock as Gwen looked through information on a data-pad she had gotten from the Plumbers base "Isn't the Anur System under the rule of the Ectonurites?"
"The who?" Ben asked
"Ghostfreaks." Gwen explained
"We where, until several years ago." Isis explained, stopping what she was doing "Most of the system was under their control, we where their slaves. But basically after the Ectonurites' leader, Zs'Skayr, disappeared their hold over the system crumbled after a while. That was why I was able to get leave my planet and come to meet you Ben. It is also why my engagement to the traitor was broken, he sided with Zs'Skayr and helped opres my people."
"Wait, the Mummy was working for this Zs'Skayr guy... you mean, he's Ghostfreak?!" Ben gasped in shock
"I guess he must be." Isis shrugged as she typed in a few more buttons before the screen flashed and a ringing was heard. After several seconds the image of a person filled the screen. Well, an alien but still the same thing. The alien on screen looked like BenWolf, except slightly different, in the fact that it was obviously a female. The shoulders where far less bold and the upper body was not as bulky compared to the rest of the body. The female Loboan had a small but perky bust concealed by a small tattered and loose piece of brown cloth that was meant to act as a shirt, a similar piece of material used like shorts was on her lower half. Her face also lacked the muzzle, making her look more human. Her black hair flowed down her back, tied into a ponytail. Atop her head was a small silver crown-like item
"Isis!" The female Loboan said in surprise and joy
"Hey Selene." Isis eye-smiled back
"What's with the number you're calling me from? What happened to your ship?" the female Loboan, now confirmed to be the Princess Selene, asked in surprise
"I'm calling from the ship that the Plumbers are allowing me to use in order to come home." Isis explained
"So you've met your Fiancé?" Selene asked excitedly
"Yes I have. He's right here." Isis eye-smiled
"Hello!" Ben said as he leaned his head in-frame, choosing now was a good time to introduce himself "I'm Ben Tennyson. Nice to meet you."
"Wow, you are really lucky Isis." Selene said in appreciation "He's very good looking, for a human."
"How many human's have you meet?" Ben asked curiously
"None, in person, but we are connected to the Galaxy internet and have seen multiple videos posted which feature humans." Selene admitted
"So, how is everything on Lobo?" Isis asked curiously
"Well, a few nights ago a baby Necrofriggian crash landed near the palace. It has been unconscious until about an hour ago. I was just about to go and check on the little one when you called." Selene explained
"A baby Necro..." Ben began before his eyes widened "Has it said anything yet?! How old is it?! Is there anything odd about it?" he asked in panic and fear
"The little one said it was born a year ago, although it is physically closer to what humans would call nine or ten. It also has a slightly more feminine body than it should." Selene replied "It has also said it wasn't Daddy, which is strange because Necrofriggian are asexual and don't really have parental bonds with their parents/offspring."
"Is it okay?" Ben asked, dread now clear on it's face
"It was covered in bruises and cuts with some internal damage but it'll be fine after more rest." Selene replied "Although something was chasing it, it was too fast for us to see. When the little one crashed we ran to the spot where it landed, the attacker flying towards us but changed directions when it saw us and went running. We have a group of scouts out looking for it as we speak."
"Kevin." Ben said simply
"Yea Tennyson?" Kevin asked from his place at the wheel
"Speed up and take us to Luna Lobo." was all Ben replied with
"But Ben, we need to Anur Khufos." Helen said in confusion and worry
"Yea Tennyson, you need to meet the in-law." Kevin chuckled
"Just do it!" Ben snapped
"Ben?" Gwen asked in curiosity and worry
"Why do you want to go to Luna Lobo my Pharaoh?" Isis asked
"Because I think my kid is hurt!" Ben yelled shocking everyone in the compartment
Alien info(not cannon, just tidbits for this story): While female Loboan's do not have the split-able muzzle of the males, as well as the loss of the sonic-how ability, they are over twice as strong, fast and durable.
I think that might be enough for this chapter. What do you think? Remember to leave your ideas for Aliens, Ultimate Forms, girls you wish to see in the harem WITH good reasons and your thoughts of the chapter in general in a review.
