Mr Stark: Starky it's fine. And I meant to my replies to other reviews. Gotta say, I'm surprised you didn't ACTUALLY review last chapter.
That Lucario You Know: It's in... drying cement. Not fully locked but more or less.
Shadowolf: Yes James WILL get those forms. His Matrix scanned them in Chapter 2. And tips? Just write what you think is a good plot. Think about implications in dialog and talk to your plot with people to check for plot holes.
GriffonicTobias: Thank you.
Hichigo: WayBig is based on Ultraman Tiga. Ghost and I already have our own one, based on another one.
Lonestar88: ... read the Author Notes.
Guest chapter 3 Sep 19: ... DVD counterparts over the show? What the HELL are you talking about?!
mrenteria99: As we said, Robin is the leader.
ShadowKing1992: Raven dose not have ZERO emotion, she has highly CONTROLED emotions.
ZSWeberUnlimited: James is not his father so I AM glad we got the natural differences then.
Red the Pokemon Master: ... why?
Angryboy13: Fucking crap. I will probably rant once I've seen the first two to five episodes.
SaurusRock625: Ghost and I have our own design, sorry.
Here are a few reviews answered by Ghost:
Angryboy13: haven't seen it, don't WANT to see it. Saw a preview...Didn't like it.
Red the Pokémon Master: there might be.
ZSWeberUnlimited: James finding similar aliens like Swampfires or Fourarms are slim to none. You wouldn't see a Korblock from Rick and Morty in the DCAU would you?
Hichigo: we've already got an idea for James' To'Kustar -Writter: GhostKaiser23
Artist: GhostKaiser23, he goes by Hangman12 on Deviantart. Either look him up, or go to my profile to see links to all of his official work for this story
Disclaimer: Cartoon Network owns Ben 10 or Teen Titans.
Sorry for the delay everyone, FanFic decided to be a bitch and not show the latest reviews for the last four to five days. Now a lot of you probably think I should have updated anyway. Well here's the thing, I LIKE interaction with the readers so I will ALWAYS wait till the reviews are clear to update.
Hope you like this one ti make up for no chapter on Monday!
James's Harem
Chapter 4: HIVE, part 1
The HIVE Arrive, GO!
"Hmm...That was a good sleep..." James sighed from under his sheets but he blinked, feeling weight next to him "Err..." He slowly looked to his left and saw Kori sleeping next to him. He sighed at that, but smiled lightly and hugged her gently
"Hmm..." Kori moaned happily feeling warm in his kind embrace
"Er... Kori? It's time to get up... for me at least." He whispered gently go her
"Hmm...five...more minutes..." Kori mumbled happily
James sighed, kissing her forehead gently as he tried to get out of bed... but Starfire's grip was too strong "Err...K-Kori...Kinda losing the felling in my arm." James spoke in worry but she just purred and snuggled into his side "K-Kori...Kori-eeee!" He squeaked. He could have transformed into his Evolved Galvan form or even a form that could slip out from underneath...But Koriand'r was sleeping on said arm. She was sleeping like a log... and James face palmed, shifting into his Nechrofriggeon form "Doy..." he rolled his eyes "Sorry Kori." He turned intangible and descended through the bed and flew off out of his room "Right...time for breakfast." he spoke flying to the kitchen. "Now...let's see what we've got today..."
As he entered the room he saw the others already up. Raven was reading a good while drinking some herbal tea, Robin watching TV and as for Cyborg and Beast Boy...
"I AM NOT HAVING DISGUSTING TOFU!" Cyborg snapped
"I'M NOT HAVING BACON DUDE! THAT'S GROSS!" Beast Boy snapped
"Err...Bit loud this morning." James spoke getting himself some cereal
"For some reason I see this as being a 'thing'." Robin sighed
"So... why are they fighting?" James asked
"Cyborg loves meat, Beast Boy is a vegetarian." Raven said simply
"Ah...That old dilemma." James nodded and took a spoonful of cereal
"Yep." The two bird themed heroes nodded
"I'll eat Tofu when HELL freezes over!" Cyborg snapped
"Look... BB has tofu and Vic just have bacon. You don't NEED to eat the same stuff." James groaned
"Ah...Just...Fine." BB and Cy answered
That was when Starfire flew in, yawning as she rubbed her eyes lightly "Morning..." She yawned
"Morning Kori." James spoke kindly. She flew over to him, hugging his arm as she sat next to him "Sleep well?" James asked kindly
"Very...Though I missed you in bed." Kori answered honestly without tact and everyone froze "What? What did I say?" Kori asked with a tilt of her head
"Y-You...and...And HIM? Only after a week?!" BeastBoy asked in shock
"IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT!" James yelled, putting his red face in his hands "She snuck into my room and cuddled me as I slept!"
"Sleepy NINJA..." Beast Boy sung the last word with a "tentacle watery" motion. Everyone just gave him a 'really' look "What?" he asked. To which the collective response was a shake of their heads...except for Starfire, she just yawned and started eating James' cereal
James looked at her and then chuckled switching the spoon with Starfire from each usage 'Indirect kisses...Just like an anime.' he thought
Starfire was thinking a similar thought, just without the anime bit, and she blushed and smiled while giggling
"James, when you've finished breakfast; can I have a word with you?" Raven asked
"Hmm? Yea, sure Rae." He nodded
*Time Skip*
After breakfast...and much...MUCH arguing from Cyborg and Beast Boy about breakfast preferences. James was now with Raven, as per their talk earlier "So...What did you want to talk about Rae?" James asked
"Don't you think you are moving a bit fast with Starfire?" Raven asked
"I...Kinda? I mean...I've never HAD a girlfriend before..." James answered "It's all kind of new to me." Raven sighed at that, rubbing her forehead "Being honest Raven...I'm kinda scared." James answered
"Scared? Scared of what?" Raven asked "You've fought aliens."
"Fighting evil aliens is one thing but...DATING is different." James admitted. Raven raised an eyebrow at that "I've had practice fighting bad guys...I got good at it...But girls...I mean girls came RUSHING at me, because my dad is famous..." James explained
"I see?" Raven nodded lightly
"Star...She...She's the first girl I ever truly liked on my own." James answered. Raven nodded with a smile "Are you mad at me?" James asked in worry, but slightly calmed down when he saw her smile
"Why would I?" She asked curiously
"Well...I...I'm not sure." James admitted. She shrugged her shoulders lightly at that
*time skip*
It was now about lunch time, everyone at a familiar pizza place "Hmm...Vegetarian Pizza." Beast Boy smiled eating a slice.
"Meat lovers." Cyborg frowned, taking a large bite of his pizza
"Dude! I've BEEN most of those animals!" Beast Boy snapped
"Hmm...Still taste pretty good though." Cyborg answered
"This... this is going to be their 'thing'. Isn't it?" James groaned
"Very much so." Robin sighed
"Okay, who's got the "Chilli sauce, spicy salami, ground beef and jalapeno slices" pizza?" the patron spoke
"That's me!" Starfire cheered
"Um...No, no that one's mine." James added
"You like spicy foods?" Kori asked
"God help your tongues..." the patron sighed and placed the pizza between them
"And they're dating." Raven added
"...God help your friends." the waiter answered again and left.
James laughed as he had a slice of pizza "Hmm...That's a good slice. Thanks." He called out to the waiter.
"It is. It's the right amount of spicy." Starfire answered
"Oh come on...It can't be THAT spicy." Cyborg rolled his eyes.
"Trust me when I say this: Eat this at your own peril. I knew a guy who had to stay in hospital from eating a spicy pizza slice that I ordered." James warned Cyborg.
"Oh shut up." He rolled his eyes, taking a slice and biting into it...
Cyborg's robotic eye shrunk back into itself and his human side began to sweat...along with his tongue.
And...
"ARRRRRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHH! HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT!" He ran around the pizza parlor screaming in blistering spicy food pain.
Everyone laughed at that, Cyborg grabbing a massive jug of milk and chugging it
"Milk Gallon challenge." James laughed
"Chug, chug, chug!" Beast Boy cheered
"BAH...!" Cyborg panted as his tongue hung out in relief "On... oh god!" He groaned "That... that hurt!"
"I warned you." James sighed with a small smile
"It's delicious." Starfire smiled
"You two must have stomachs of tungsten." Robin commented
"I'm an ice based alien." James deadpanned
"I am more tolerant to strong flavours." Kori answered
'Same taste in food.' Raven thought, blinking a bit
Suddenly there was an explosion a few buildings down, rocking a good portion of the city
"What the heck?" James shouted as the group went outside to find the explosion source. They saw three figures emerging from a bank through the smoke, all carrying large bags of money "Doesn't end does it?" James sighed
"Nope. Titans, Go!" Robin called
The group raced to the back where they saw the three figures with the bags of money. There was a teenage girl; a large teenage male and what looked like a small bold kid
The girl had upturned pink hair like a horseshoe with two hair bands holding them in place. She was wearing a mainly black dress with long black sleeves concealing her B-Cup breasts, but she had dark purple stockings on and purple shoulder covers. Her shoes were black and purple platform shoes giving her an extra four inches in height.
The taller one was like seven foot tall wearing a black suit that covered all but his face and hands, massive golden bands around his neck and waist and wrists and boots. He had long red hair and he looked like... well... he looked like a caveman
And the last one...The bald boy... was wearing a green jumpsuit with a silver backpack with a gadget filled technological belt and a green lens silver goggles
"And who are you guys?" Cyborg asked
"We're members of H.I.V.E. But you can call me Gizmo. That's Mammoth and our Femme Fatale is Jinx." Gizmo answered
"My my, hello cutie." Jinx flirted with James, fluttering her eyes as she saw him
"M-Me?" James gulped pointing to himself
"Ah come ON!" Beast Boy groaned "TWO hot babes dude?!"
"H... hey! I'm not doing anything!" James gulped
"I've got the hottie. You losers deal with the rest." Jinx waved off, strutting towards her chosen 'opponent'
"Why do YOU get the anime dipstick?" Gizmo snapped, to which Jinx didn't respond "Come on Mammoth!" Gizmo groaned as the Titans began to fight back
"Anime dipstick?! What?!" James snapped in anger, growling
"Yeah, that stupid blue hair. What're trying to prove? You being a weeaboo or something?" Gizmo answered intentionally insulting James.
"... I'M PART NECHROFRIGGEON YOU RACIST MOTHERFUCKER!" James roared, turning into his natural evolved Nechrofriggeon form and flying at Gizmo as fast as he could in a blind rage
"Oh SHIT! Mammoth!" Gizmo panicked to his muscled ally
"Told you that mouth of yours would get you in trouble." Mammoth answered trying to grab James but he phased through him and he punched Gizmo as he solidified in the face
"YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN AND I'LL KNOCK ALL YOUR TEETH OUT AND LEAVE YOU FROZEN, BUCK NAKED, IN A MASSIVE ICE BURG IN THE MIDDLE OF NEW YORK!" James snapped before he flew after the pink cat eyed girl who was running away with her arms outstretched to the sides like she was pretending to be a plane
"No anime jokes." Beast Boy gulped and spoke to Cyborg
"Agreed." He nodded as the boys went to fight Gizmo, Mammoth getting in the way of the girls leaving James to deal with Jinx
*with James*
"Where did that "Jinx" go?" James spoke, as he phased through buildings to find her and as he flew... a manhole cover suddenly flew up and hit him in the gut
"Ooooh! Bad luck hot stuff." The pink haired girl giggled, sitting on top of a dumpster with pink sparkles around her fingers which faded after a second
"Ow..." James groaned "I-I'm NOT in the mood...Your friend just pissed me off." He looked up at her.
"He's my classmate. NOT my friend. I hate the guy." She huffed before smiling "I'm sorry he made you upset. Want me to make you feel better?"
"Sure...Give yourself up." James chuckled
"Gonna have to catch me first." She smiled, her finger wiggling
"Alright...I'll play." James became intangible and left Jinx's sight
Jinx grinned and clicked her fingers, a link spark going off. James was flying behind her to freeze her... and a piano fell on him "Ooh...So close." She teased
Luckily for James he was intangible at that time, so it just phased through him "... bad luck powers." He worked out from that those simple acts
"And EXTREME probability manipulation." She nodded with a smile "You're more than a pretty face."
"Oh SO much more." James answered
"I can't wait to see." She purred, clicking her fingers... and James' Matrix flashed, turning him human
"What the?" James snapped
"Wow...You ARE so much more..." Jinx purred with a seductive grin She walked over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck "Bad luck and probability, remember?" She grinned up at him, her pink eyes sparkling with mischief
"...I've always had bad luck...Particularly with girls." James admitted, while failing to mention about Starfire.
"Well... looks like I'm giving GOOD luck for once." She winked before she kissed him
"Hmm!" James hummed in shock wanting to pull back but the wall stopped him from doing so. Jinx moaned against his lips, wrapping her arms around his neck. James gulped in worry as he was worried that Kori would see them "You taste good." Jinx grinned as she broke the kiss "Sorry I have to do this though." She pouted before she blasted him in the chest with a pink energy bolt from her hand, knocking him out "You ARE a good looking one..." Jinx frowned "Too bad." she pouted sadly, walking away
*With the other Titans*
The Titan's where having trouble with these new villains when Jinx returned. She frowned and looked at them "Having trouble?" she asked as she snapped her fingers
Robin yelled as he charged at Mammoth... and tripped, Mammoth's fist hitting his chest and sending him flying "Robin!" Beast Boy spoke, transforming into a lion, to which Jinx clicked her fingers again
He jumped at Gizmo... only for a fire escape to land on him with a glowing energy net landing on top of him seconds later "HA!" Gizmo grinned, attaching a device onto Cyborg's back
"Hey! What is that?!" Cyborg snapped only for his body to be hacked and he began to aim at his teammates... and then his body was electrocuted before falling over, his body spasming
"Azerath Metrion ZINTHOS!" Raven spoke trying to stop Jinx and the rest of the H.I.V.E. villains
"Sorry Miss Goth! I'm not giving in!" Jinx smirked, shooting a blast of pink from her hands at Raven's with the two hitting each other in the middle
"Magic?!" Raven gasped
"That's right." Jinx grinned, bringing one hand back and clicking
"What did you MMPH?!" Raven yelled, her hood suddenly pulling itself down past her chin with a hard tug. That broke her concentration, which stopped her attack, and Jinx's magic blast bit her hard sending her flying back
"RARGH!" Starfire punched Mammoth into the air and flew at Jinx at a racing car level of speed.
"WHOA! What's wrong with you?" Jinx asked, using her magic to make Starfire miss by a few inches but Jinx was still sent flying from the shockwave from the speed
"Where is James?" Starfire growled with her glowing green eyes, glaring down at the luck manipulator
"The pretty boy? He's out cold." Jinx shrugged
Starfire grabbed Jinx by her collar and pulled her up with her energy powered hand near her face. "Where...?" She threatened
"O... over there." She squeaked
"If you are lying..." She snarled
"I-I'm not...In the alley." She pointed
Stafire was silent but flew in the direction Jinx pointed She found James on the floor rubbing his head "James! James are you alright?" Starfire asked
"Fine...Just a bit banged up..." He groaned
She frowned, looking him over... and noted the pink smeared across his lips "What is that on your lips?" Starfire asked in shock
"I... what?" James blinked, putting his fingers to his lips
"... do you want that bad luck woman as part of your harem?" Starfire asked in confusion "Because she is pretty but she is bad so I would say that would be the bad idea."
"K-Kori...SHE...Kissed ME." He explained "Sure she's cute but...I...I'm with you!"
"But you are a prince? And you are from a harem family?" She asked, tilting her head "I understand and expect this relationship. I thought we were already in it with Raven?"
"I...Yeah I am...But...I...I don't want to hurt you, OR Raven..." James answered. Stafire smiled and kissed him gently "You forgive me?" James asked with a small smile
"There's nothing to forgive." Starfire answered
"I repeat that I disagree with adding the Jinx to the harem though." She added
"Fair enough. Now...Let's stop them before they escape." James nodded. Starfire nodded the two heading back to the battlefield to find the other Titans either unconscious or trapped and the HIVE gone "What happened here?" James asked in shock as they went over to their friends
"We got our asses kicked." Beast Boy groaned
*Time skip- Titan Tower*
"Here." James handed a bag of ice to Robin to put on his head.
"Thanks..." Robin answered
"We for our asses handed to us." Cyborg frowned
"We didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. That's all...We'll be ready next time." James answered
"Hopefully." Raven nodded, reading a book
"My dad said..."From failure: you learn; from success: you learn nothing". We'll be ready." James tried to reassure them
"Where'd he get that?" Beast Boy asked
"Where did I get what? The ice or the life lesson?" James asked
"The line." BeastBoy nodded
"My great grandpa." James nodded
"Long AND large family..." Beast Boy answered
"I would like to meet this "great-grandpa" of yours." Kori smiled
"... I'd like to see all of them again." James frowned, looking at his feet in anger
"We'll get you back James...Promise." Raven spoke
"... thank you." He smiled
"Do you have any siblings?" Starfire asked
"Several." James nodded
"What're their names?" Cyborg asked
"Okay...Just so you know...I'm NOT making this up." James chuckled "Krystal, Atem, Luna, Scout, ML-E, Kitty, Skarlet, Ren, Ben Jr, Alexander and Betty."
"...Wow." Robin's eyes went wide
"12 kids?" Beast Boy asked to which James nodded with a smile
"Krystal's the second oldest, just close to my age. Atem, Luna, Scout and ML-E are all around nine, Kitty is two and the rest are around a year old." James nodded
"That is one busy dad..." Beast Boy chuckled with a gasp
"He finds time for us." James smiled remembering the good times "Plus my Mums are a big help."
"Must be nice having mothers that care for you..." Raven whispered smiling, thinking back to her own mother.
James nodded and wrapped a caring arm around her "Thanks Raven." He smiled
'Kiss her, kiss her...' Kori thought kindly but they just sat like the for a minute before Cyborg just yelled in frustration
"Dude, what the heck?" Beast Boy asked in shock
"That little queball! He overrode ALL of my systems with that little that disk, which wireless to! Took over my body like it was a toy!" Cyborg snarled in anger
"Hang on...I think I've got something to get that thing out of you." James spoke cycling through his aliens.
"The little frog dude?" Beast Boy asked
James pressed his Matrix and he transformed in his yellow light...And he was gone. "James? James? Where'd you go man?" Beast Boy asked trying to fight back the corruption data.
"I'm here, over by Victor." James spoke through the speakers...Somehow
"What? How?" Victor asked
"I'm a Nano-robot alien. I'm gonna fix you dude." James answered as we zoom in to James' location: Victor's shoulder. He was a small, humanoid, silver creature that looked insectoid. His body had a singular yellow eye and yellow veined dragonfly like wings, his back had two tentacles with four claw-talons on the end of them; his hands and feet were thin and nimble claws. "Okay I'm going in." James spoke He flew into the his friend with a smile, getting to work
"H-Hey...Just...Be careful while you're in there!" Cyborg gulped
"I promise." James answered "Okay...let's do some Nano-Engineering." James spoke seeing Cyborg's processing units and extending his tentacles, equipping them to a port and oversaw a holographic screen from his eye. "Wow...You're pretty sophisticated Victor."
"I know... that's why I'm so pissed about this." Cyborg sighed
"Hmm...Let's see if I can do anything with this firewall..." James spoke expanding the firewall file and began to edit the existing one with a more powerful one "Put up a couple of safeguards..." A few minutes later he flew out and turned human "And done. Wow. Microchip was easy to use." James explained, smiling lightly
""Microchip"?" Robin asked
"My...My Nano-Alien." James answered
Cyborg shuddered as his systems were rebooting "That sort of tickled back then...But thanks."
"Welcome." He nodded with a smile
Cyborg examined his network systems and was amazed "Whoa! You...Triple layered safeguards AND tenfold firewall?!"
"Well YOU are high-tech in THIS world but... still kinda two or three hundred years out of date in my universe." James admitted
"I'm WHAT?!" Cyborg deadpanned
"What sort of crazy world did YOU come from?" Robin asked
"My world." James chuckled answering simply "Hundreds of thousands of planets working together." Kori was smiling as she heard more about James's home, wanting to see it for herself "So many planets together. Universal unity. Yea there are trouble makers but... we stop it." James smiled
"That's going on my "to do list": Get upgrades." Cyborg spoke
"I can help. Heck when we get home my dad, another of my sisters and one of my mum can make you over three times better." James smiled
"I'd appreciate it." Cyborg answered
"Do you have any other transformations?" Beast Boy smiled
"A few. He hasn't used many." Raven nodded "He's used about five."
"You...You've been keeping track?" James asked
"No. You told me the ones you've used and I counted the frog alien and the small one." She explained
"What're you gonna call that Frog Guy anyway?" Beast Boy asked
"Ceribro." He nodded
"Sounds smart." Beast Boy smiled
"He's one of THE smartest in the universe." James nodded
"Modest." Robin spoke
"Stating a fact, which I'll be happy prove." James answered "I'm not as smart as my dad's version or... grandpa Azmuth. But it's still smarter than anyone on Earth."
"Well...I'm just glad you gave the TV an upgrade." Cyborg chuckled
"Welcome." He smiled
*With HIVE*
"Oh that was awesome!" Jinx giggled as the three arrived at their small temporary base
"You kiffin me? I loff fum peef!" Gizmo answered clutching his cheek
"... what?" Jinx asked, not understanding him
"Fhat...Moff buy...bwoke my peef!" Gizmo answered
"He said that "Blue haired guy broke his teeth"." Mammoth answered
"Ah." Jinx nodded, clicking and suddenly Gizmo's teeth fixed themselves
"AH! Thanks..." Gizmo answered
"What would you do without me?" Jinx said, putting her fingers on her chest arrogantly as she laughed
'Don't make us answer.' Mammoth and Gizmo thought. Jinx smiled, sitting down as she gave a happy sigh
"You look happy; what did you get up to?" Gizmo asked
"Oh, nothing! Just glad we had a good job well done and exited for the next phase!... you DID download the codes, right?" Jinx smiled, ending with a frown
"Got them right here." Gizmo held up a USB with a toothy smile
"Perfect." She grinned "With this...That tower is ours." Jinx smiled
And all done. First two parter of the fic! Woop!
Hopefully I don't have to wait so long to post the next chapter.
