Chapter 8- Kayla

My Second Time in Space

I hadn't remembered my first time into space. Daddy said I was a baby when he took me home to Earth, adopting me as his daughter. I remember always asking him where he found me, who my birth parents were. But he would never tell me.

Well anyway, I knew I would remember my second time into space. I looked back towards Tyson, he seemed just as scared as I was. "What do we do?!" he asked frantically.

I wish I had an answer for him, but I didn't. Leaving the atmosphere felt like being on the fastest roller coaster ever. As we exited, I began to see the amazing void of space. It was kind of scary, but beautiful at the same time.

We began to slow down a bit, I was relieved to see that I could relax. I still tried to get the ship to work. But since I knew nothing about spaceships, it was a waste of time.

I got up and walked around the ship, Tyson did the same. "Uhh maybe you have a super smart alien or something? I mean you're the Omnitrix pro here" he said.

I thought about all of my aliens, no one super smart like Grey Matter or Brainstorm. But I remembered one alien that could do it, she was Jury Rigg. My least favorite alien without a doubt, especially since Mack a member of her species tried to kill me. I remembered Tyson was holding onto the map piece. I quickly pulled it out of his hands. The last thing I needed was him accidentally taking the map piece's energy and burning the ship to pieces. Fortunately the ship had a glove compartment. I quickly put the piece inside of it, hoping it'd be safe.

I sighed before activating my Omntrix, I scrolled through the menu until I saw a face with a big long nose. I quickly hit the button on the side, slamming the Omnitrix core that quickly popped up.

As I transformed I grew shorter, my skin becoming red. I felt a small tail grow out of my butt. I could see I was now wearing an aviator outfit. Tyson seemed shocked as he saw my latest transformation, he looked at me and Mack. Seeing the uncanny resemblance, I glared at up, daring him to make some sort of joke.

As I looked towards the control panel, my mind raced. I wondered what the panel would look like if I tore into a million pieces. But I tried to control myself, remembering how much of a bad idea that'd be. I easily figured out the controls, I wanted to command the ship to send us back to Earth. But I could see the fuel tank was incredibly low. So I flew it into a nearby planet, it was planet Celtanus.

I remembered it was a planet right outside of the solar system, I knew the ship had to be moving pretty fast to have left the Solar System in minutes. Celtanus was a simple planet, the population made up of 3 different species. Humans, Tetramands and I can't forget about the Athenians.

Oh ya see, Athenians are a super smart race of aliens. They're only second to the Galvans and have freaky powers. I heard Daddy used to be married to one of them, but whenever I asked him about it. He never wanted to tell me anything, not even her name.

Fortunately there was a Plumber's base on Celtanus, so getting Mack thrown in prison and getting Paladin taken care of was easy. Paladin didn't complain, but he seemed pretty banged up from the fight with Helikon.

Outside of the Infirmary, Me and Tyson talked about the current situation. I had already explained everything I knew about the map pieces to him. "So there are 4 more of those things and if someone finds all five, they can unleash some alien god?" he asked with disbelief.

I simply nodded and said "Yeah, I figure we can just tell the Plumbers about it and let them look for the other four."

"Are you crazy? Mack was a Plumber and he tried to steal it!"

I sighed, "You've got a point, but what else are we supposed to do?"

"We have a ship don't we?! I say we go and find them all ourselves, we're two kids with Omnitrixes and with a dude with freaky Alchemy powers!" explained Tyson.

At first I wanted to slap him and call his plan crazy, but if we told other Plumbers about it. We ran the risk of some of them trying to steal the pieces themselves, Tyson had a good point.

"We're telling Aunty Gwen about it, she already knows about this so it shouldn't be a problem" I said before Tyson ran off.

I noticed a look of wonder and amazement, just like when we got off the ship. "Awesome…" he said as he looked around.

I quickly walked up to him and asked "First time off world huh?"

"Yeah! I just gotta see everything!" he yelled as he ran out of the base.

I ran after him, trying my best to keep up with him. As I exited I looked up towards the beautiful green skies of Celtanus. I realized I was too busy worrying about Paladin to just take it all in. Right before I noticed Tyson, almost slamming his hand on the core of his Omnitrix. I pulled his hand away before he could transform.

"Hey!" He called, confused and annoyed.

"Look, this planet like many others love Omnitrix Wielders. Turning into an alien and running all over will get us some unnecessary attention." I explained.

"So people wanna take our pictures and get out autograph, big deal"

I wanted to facepalm as I said "Dude bounty hunters are always trying to hunt down Omnitrix Wielders, they wanna steal our Omnitrixes and take them for themselves. Or sell them to the highest bidder, so this!" I said as I grabbed Tyson's Omnitrix arm.

"Is only for emergencies! Got it?" I continued.

"Alright Alright!" said Tyson as he jerked his arm away.

"I was just gonna go XLR8 and have a quick tour" he muttered.

"Look just do what I told you and look around. Just be back in an hour, I need to check on Paladin and call Aunty Gwen." I explained before Tyson ran off again.

As I re entered the base I had a bad feeling he'd get into trouble.
