-Ben's POV-
I felt the Omnitrix clamp onto my wrist again, and I looked over at Kevin, who was now some freak creature. I dropped the pod onto the ground, and stared at him angrily.
"What an improvement. How did this happen?" I asked Kevin.
He growled again. "Some weird creature bit me on the way here... Now I can turn into this thing whenever I want!"
I sighed. "Great." I mumbled, holding up my wrist. I pushed the button, and dialed in Heatblast. "And I can turn into this whenever I want!" I cried, slamming the faceplate.
I turned into Heatblast and shot a fireball in Kevin's direction. He jumped out of the way, setting a tree on fire behind him.
"Oh, jeez." I groaned, but Grandpa and Gwen ran over with fire extinguishers. They always had them just in case.
I turned back to Kevin, and he jumped at me, knocking me into a large tree. Angrier than ever, I shot another blast at him. This time it was a direct hit and he was sent flying and smashing into a rock. He stood up slowly, but I grabbed him by the leg and smashed him on the ground with all of my strength. Suddenly, he turned back into normal Kevin and passed out, going limp in my hand. The Omnitrix timed out and I turned back, too.
This caused me to drop Kevin and fall over with his weight. "Why does that always seem to happen...?" I grumbled, standing up.
Olivia was the first to run over. "Ben, are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, wish I could say the same for him." I replied, glancing back at Kevin's unconscious body behind me.
"Ben, we should get back to the RV before Kevin wakes up." Grandpa said, and we all followed him back into the clearing. He stored the machine in the RV, and started it up once we were all inside.
"Where are we going next?" I asked eagerly, smiling.
"Gwen's jiu jitsu dojo. She needs her practice." Grandpa said, smiling back.
My smile faded into a frown. "Great." I sighed. "Hey, Gwen, do you think I could try this kung-fu stuff?" I asked, looking at my cousin.
"First of all, it's called jiu jitsu. And second, you could never do it. You're just not strong enough." Gwen replied, smiling wryly.
"Uh, hello? Ultimate power? Right here?" I said, holding up the Omnitrix.
"Earth to dweeb, you can't go hero in the middle of a public place... That would be cheating." Gwen said, frowning.
"She does have a point, Ben. We have to keep this a secret." Olivia agreed quietly.
"Great, now you're siding with her." I groaned.
"I can teach you, Ben, but that would mean I would be your jiu jitsu master." Gwen smiled.
I groaned again. "Yuck, who would want you for a master?" I asked, sticking my tongue out.
"You, because no one else would want to train a scrawny weakling such as... I don't know... You?" Gwen teased.
This made me mad. "Oh yeah? Well fine then. I'll show you I have what it takes to do jiu jitsu. Even if you are my master." I argued pointing my finger at her.
"Okay, but you don't know what you're getting yourself into..." Gwen warned.
I smiled. "Just a chance to beat you at something you're good at." I replied.
Gwen huffed and turned her head away just as we pulled up in the lot of the dojo. We all piled out and walked inside. I heard loud screams and grunts and people hitting each other when we went in. I smiled, watching the action. Suddenly, clothes hit me in the face. I pulled them off of my head and looked at Gwen who was smiling.
"Suit up, cousin." She sneered. I stuck my tongue out and went into the boy's bathroom. I changed quickly, and came out in a jiu jitsu uniform.
"I look like an idiot." I complained, trying to tighten my belt.
Gwen came over and in half a second my belt was secured.
"Uh, thanks..." I mumbled.
"C'mon, Ben, the mats are over here!" Gwen called as she started running.
I followed her, and once we were at a mat, Gwen tied her hair into the smallest ponytail I'd ever seen. She punched the air a couple of times, and got into fighting stance.
I tried my best to copy her moves, and Gwen yelled out, "Hiyah!" And lunged toward me.
I didn't even have time to think before she was on top of me, twisting my leg. "Ow, Gwen, let go!" I protested, squirming to get away.
"Still think you can handle this?" Gwen laughed, getting off of me.
"I know I can." I said. I ran at her as fast I could, aiming to knock into her. But she grabbed the back of my head and threw me down onto the mat. "Ouch..." I groaned.
Gwen just laughed as I stood up, brushing myself off. "We have alot of work to do..." She sighed, shaking her head.
After a long time of practice, Gwen yelling at me, and falling down or hurting myself, I finally got to challenge Gwen. We got onto the mat, and went into fighting stance. I kind of tried to show off a little by jumping around, swinging my fists at her but not intending to hit her. After my best punch I could do, Gwen simply grabbed my arm and flipped me over.
In a sudden burst of rage, I dialed in Fourarms and flicked her. I laughed as she fell over smacking down onto the mat.
"Ben! There are people here!" Olivia yelled, running forward.
